Petitioner: MUHAMMAD HANIF VS Respondent: THE STATE
Court Name: Lahore High Court Judge(s): Muhammad Farrukh Mehmood Title: MUHAMMAD HANIF vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Miscellaneous No,1634-B of 2006 Date of Judgment:2006-07-20 Reported As: 2008 YLR 810 Result: Bail granted
Judgment ORDER ' MUHAMMAD FARRUKH MAHMUD, J.---Muhammad Hanif petitioner has sought post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No,107, registered at Police Station F.I.A./CC, Multan, on 11-5-2005, for offences under sections. 17/18 of the Emigration Ordinance, 1979 read with sections 3/4 of the Prevention and Control of Human Trafficking Ordinance, 2002. 2. Precisely the allegation against the petitioner is that he sent his minor sons Sajjad and Nadeem to Dubai along with Mst. Bashiran. The minor sons of the petitioner were to be used as jockeys in the camel race. After deportation of the minors the instant case was registered. 3. I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record. It is not available on record that the petitioner was aware of the fact that his sons- were to be used as jockey in camel race when they were sent to Dubai. Similarly there is nothing on record that payment was made to the petitioner prior to sending the minors to Dubai. Furthermore perusal of F.I.R. Reveals that mother of the minors was confined in Jail at Dubai. Prima facie the possibility that the minors accompanied their mother cannot be ruled out. In these circumstances, the allegation levelled against the petitioner needs further probe and inquiry within the ambit of subsection (2) of section 497, Cr.P.C. Hence, I am inclined to admit the petitioner to bail, subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rupees Five Thousand, with one surety, in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Trial Court.
