Petitioner: MULAZIM HUSSAIN VS Respondent: THE STATE
Court Name: Lahore High Court Judge(s): Raja Afrasiab Khan Title: MULAZIM HUSSAIN vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Miscellaneous No.2604/B of 1994 Date of Judgment:1994-06-28 Reported As: 1995 MLD 231 Result: Bail granted
Judgment ORDER A case under section 10(3)/18 of the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979, was registered on the statement of Mst. Zahooran Bibi against the petitioner with Police Station Sahiwal, District Sargodha, on 8-3-1994 vide F.I.R. No.55/94. It is alleged that the petitioner attempted to commit rape with the prosecutrix The learned counsel contends that there is no evidence to connect the petitioner with the commission of the crime. He states that the eye-witnesses Riaz and Muhammad Feroze have sworn affidavits to disclose that no such occurrence took place. The learned State Counsel does not oppose the bail petition in such a situation. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and perusing the record, I am of the view that this is undoubtedly a case of further enquiry inasmuch as the eye-witnesses did not support the version of the prosecution. Accordingly, the petitioner is admitted to bail in the sum of Rs.50,000 (Fifty thousand) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the A.C./Duty Magistrate, Shahpur. This petition stands disposed of.
