Judgment ORDER ' Allah Bakhsh son of Allah Bachaya petitioner has sought his post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No,255, registered at Police Station Pacca Laran, on 15-8-2003, for offences under sections 419/420/468/471, P.P.C. 2. Briefly the relevant facts, as given in the F.I.R., are that co-accused Khadim Hussain forged a Nikah Nama, wherein the complainant was shown to be his wife and produced Nikah Nama before the Court. The petitioner was one of the witnesses in the said Nikah Nama. 3. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It has been noticed that the petitioner has been sent to the judicial lock-up; that the petitioner is not a principal accused; that the offences do not attract the prohibitory' clause of section 497, Cr.P.C.; and that there is nothing on the record to show that the petitioner was previously involved in any criminal activity. In such-like cases grant of bail is a rule and refusal an exception, therefore, relying upon the case of Muhammad Amir v. The State 1973 PCr.LJ 205, I admit the petitioner to bail, subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rupees fifty thousand, with one surety, in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
