2. Complainant Naveed Ahmed is a salesman in Mobilink. On 28-1-2002 he was on his duty, carrying cash of about Rs,3,25,030 in a handbag. On the way, he was contacted on mobile telephone an asked to reach Children Ward of Jinnah Hospital as some cards were requited for a shop. He was informe I that his contact number was given to 'Le caller by the complainant's boss. The complainant went to the given spot where present applicant dew a T.T. Pistol, while the other culprit snatched the handbag. The complainant intelligently removed the key of his motorcycle; therefore, the culprits could not use the same and started running away by foot. Complainant was ' threatened with death in case he followed the culprits, but he mustered courage and raised cries and followed the culprits. He reached the applicant and with the has of police, who also arrived there in the meantime, caught hold of the applicant. T.T. Pistol was secured from the possession of applicant.
3. ' I have heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned State Counsel.
4. ' Mr. Manzoor A. Bhutta, learned counsel for the applicant submitted that during investigation cash was recovered from the co-accused and not from the applicant and the role was not assigned to the applicant distinctly in the F.I.R. And that under the rule of consistency the applicant is entitled to grant of bail, since the co-accused has been granted bail by the trial Court.
5. ' Mr. Fazalur Rahman Awan, learned State Counsel opposed the bail on the ground that the applicant was captured soon after the incident with T.T. Pistol and on that point there is evidence of two Witnesses against him. He submitted that there -is no evidence to indicate that the complainant had enmity with the accused/applicant to involve him falsely.
6. ' I have considered these contentions carefully. Prima facie, there is sufficient evidence to show that on hot pursuit the applicant was captured immediately with the help of police and the crime weapon was secured from him. Learned trial Court has rightly observed that there is alarming increase in the incidents of robberies in the city and innocent citizens are unsafe. The bail plea, at this stage, is premature and the application is dismissed.
