The accused Kirar belongs to our brothery as such We approached to our 'Nek Mard' for getting back our Robbed articles. Wadero Khuda Dino son o f Muhammad Ali Detho told us that Kirar is criminal type man. He is issuing threats and will not return articles. He suggested that we should lodge report at police station against all the above accused stated hereinabove.

7. ' The applicant/accused applied for bail before the trial Court but his bail plea was dismissed by impugned order dated 30-4-2003.

8. ' We have heard Mr. Muhammad Younus Behan learned counsel on behalf of applicant/accused and Mr. Rasheed Ahmed Qureshi, learned A.A.-G. For the State as well as Mr. Muhammad Azim Panmwhar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of A.A.-G. For the State. Both the letter learned counsel have opposed the bail plea of applicant/accused.

9. The perusal of material placed on record shows that name of applicant/accused transpires in the F.I.R. He alongwith his companions formed an unlawful assembly, duly armed with deadly weapons barged in the house of complainant and committed robbery of valuable articles at gun-point.

10. Nothing has been placed on record from which it could be deduced that complainant or any of prosecution witness was/is biased against the applicant/accused. The recovery of some robbed property was made from the possession of applicant/accused. Merely, co-accused Jaro whose name transpires in the F.I.R has been let off by the police during the course of investigation is no ground for grant of bail to applicant/accused as he i.e. Jaro could be joined at any stage of the case if any incriminating evidence comes on record. The delay in lodging report has, been explained in the F.I.R. Even otherwise- the delay in lodging of F.I.R. Is no ground for grant of bail in each and every case. In this context we are fortified by the decision of apex Court in case of Haji Gul Khan v. Gul Daraz Khan and another reported in 1995 SCM R 1765. The case of co-accused Peeral who was granted bail by this Court is distinguishable from the facts and circumstances of the present case.

11. ' Resultantly, the application stands dismissed.

12. ' At this juncture, learned counsel appearing on behalf of applicant/accused requests that direction may be issued to the trial Court for early disposal of the cas.

13. Bail appellant dismissed.
