ORDER

MUHAMMAD MOOSA K. LEGHARI, J.---The bail is pressed on the ground that the role assigned to the applicant Muhammad Sadiq is only that of instigation whereas applicants Abdul Khaliq and Abdul. Sattar are not named in the F.I.R. though the F.I.R. contains the names of as many as sixteen accused persons.

Learned A.A.-G. has though opposed the grant of bail but has not been able to controvert the above position.

The contentions raised have been considered and the material placed on the record has been perused.

In the F.I.R. sixteen persons have been nominated but the names of applicants Nos.2 and 3 do not transpire therein. They have been implicated subsequently on the basis of identification parade which is said to have taken place after seven days of their arrest. The role assigned to applicant Muhammad Sadiq is that of instigation, which is required to be proved through positive evidence at the trial. Admittedly the applicants Nos.2 and 3 are the sons of applicant No.1 Muhammad Sadiq yet they could not be identified by the complainant. The case of the applicants in the circumstances calls for further inquiry entitling them to the concession of bail.

Applicants are accordingly directed to be released on bail on furnishing solvent surety in the sum of Rs.1,00,000 (One Lac) each and P.R. bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.

H.B.T./M-129/K Bail granted.
