ORDER
The petitioner is involved in a case registered against him under the provisions of section 460 of the Pakistan Penal Code. It may be stated here that the petitioner was under detention in some other case, when, it is alleged, that he made a confession and in pursuance thereof, a carbine was recovered from him. It would not be appropriate at this stage to comment upon the legality of the confession. Suffice it would be to mention that more than two years have elapsed, since the petitioner is behind the bars and besides this, there are other cases also pending against him. The learned Additional Sessions Judge was not justified in refusing bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, I direct that in this case, the petitioner shall be released on bail provided he furnishes security in the sum of Rs. 50,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of A.C./Duty Magistrate, Gujranwala.
SA./I.77/L
Bail allowed.
