ORDER

Learned counsel for the petitioner states, that the alleged embezzled amount has already been paid by the petitioner, and the petitioner is behind the bars for the last four months, and the trial of this case has not yet commenced. It is further stated that nothing is to be recovered and hence the petitioner deserves the grant of bail. Learned counsel for the State concedes, that the amount has already been paid by the petitioner. In this view of the matter, I direct, that the petitioner shall be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rupees fifty thousand only with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner/Duty Magistrate, Lahore.

M.A.K./Z‑73/L Bail granted.
