The

dated 1/4/2010.
This
Court has taken into consideration the averments made in the FIR,
and the nature of evidence as it is reflected in the order of the
trial court. It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant
that looking to the age of the applicant and the manner in which he
has been arrested and the fact that nothing has recovered from the
possession of the applicant, the applicant is required to be
enlarged on bail. This Court is convinced that the applicant has
made out case for enlarging him on bail pending trial for the
following reasons:
Allegations
made in the FIR and the nature of evidence so far as the present
applicant is concerned deserves to be taken into consideration for
enlarging him on bail.
Prosecution
has not expressed any apprehension that if the applicant is enlarged
on bail he is likely to influence the witnesses.
Prosecution
has not expressed any apprehension about applicant/accused that if
he is enlarged on bail, is likely to flee from justice.
The
investigation is over and charge sheet is filed.
The
trial court has not appreciated this aspects of the case and
therefore the order of the trial court is required to be quashed and
set aside and accordingly it is hereby quashed and set aside.
The
aforesaid observations are made only for the purpose of examining
the prayer for bail pending trial. These observations are prima
facie and shall have no bearing whatsoever upon the trial and the
trial court shall not be influenced by it in any way and come to its
own conclusion after analyzing the evidence that may be led during
the trial.
In
view of the above, applicant’s case for bail deserves positive
consideration.

on bail in connection with Crime Register No.I- 100/2009 of Gondal
