M. Akmal Salimi for Petitioner.

Farooq Badar, Assistant Advocate-General for the state.

Date of hearing : 18^th January, 1986.

Numbers of points have been raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner in support of this bail application moved on behalf of Muhammad Ibrahim, who is an accused in a case under section 10 of offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979, and section 3/4 of Prohibition (Enforcement of Hadd) Order, 1979. I do not intend to incorporate all the contentions. The prosecution case is that the occurrence was witnessed by four persons. Now affidavits of the three eye‑witnesses have been filed. They have sworn that they did not see the occurrence. This is strong ground to allow bail to the petitioner. I, therefore, enlarge him on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000 (twenty thousand) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner, Okara.

H.A.K. Bail granted.
