ORDER
This is a petition for the grant of bail. The petitioner was facing trial in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Gujranwala in a case under section 11 of the Offences of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979. He allegedly absented from the Court on 14‑12‑1987. He was, therefore, arrested in pursuance of non‑bailable warrants issued by trial Court and the petitioner's bail plea had been declined by the lower Court, hence this application.
2. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as for the State and also perused the record.
3. It is stated that the petitioner is a poor man. He could not attend the Court on the date of hearing (14‑12‑1987) because his donkey had been stolen. However, learned counsel assured that the A petitioner would not absent it future In the circumstances, I feel inclined to allow this petition and direct that the petitioner be released on bail subject to his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.10,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
S.A./B‑51/L. Bail allowed.
