Petitioner: MUNSIB KHAN VS Respondent: THE STATE
Court Name: Sindh High Court Judge(s): Sabihuddin Ahmed, Kamal Mansur Alam Title: MUNSIB KHAN vs THE STATE Case No.: Special Bail Application No,876 of 1997 Date of Judgment:1997-08-27 Reported As: 1999 P Cr. L J 1264 Result: Bail granted
Judgment ORDER KAMAL MANSOOR ALAM, J.--- According to the F.I.R. No,85 of 1997, one unlicensed T.T. Pistol loaded with a magazine having four live bullets was recovered from the applicant on 13-3-1997. Neither any number of the weapon as mentioned in the F.I.R. Nor in the Mashirnama of recovery. The learned A.A.-G. Admits that the weapon in spite of being unnumbered was not sealed. The Mashirnama shows that the weapon is Pakistan made, as such, merely by describing it as a T.T. Pistol would not make it an automatic or semiautomatic weapon. As such, for the present there seems no reason to accept that the weapon was automatic or semi-automatic and therefore, to be covered under the Schedule to the Suppression of Terrorist Activities (Special Courts) Act, 1975. ' We, in these circumstances, consider this to be a case of further inquiry and accordingly allow this application and grant bail to applicant on his furnishing surety in the sum of Rs,1,00,000 (Rupees one lac) and P.R. Bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
