Apparently the case is of attempt of Zina and plain reading of the F.I.R. Shows that the accused tried to open Nara, but on her cries family members rushed to across and the co-accused after inflicting simple injury on the husband of the lady, ran away. Learned counsel for the accused has relied upon the case of Muhammad Ajmal alias Teddy v. State reported in 1994 PCr.LJ 132 where in a similar situation an attempt to strip the lady was made and the injury being simple bail was granted.

2. ' Counsel appearing for the State however, points out that the case was not of section 354-A, as the lady was not exposed to public view after striping her.

In a case registered under section 354, P.P.C. The punishment is only two years. The other sections used in this case 337-A(i), 504, 34, P.P.C. Which has been attributed to the co-accused, show that simple injury has been caused to the husband of the lady.

Bond in the like amount, to the satisfaction ofl the trial Court. revisions by the competent authorities.
