----S. 497(5)‑‑Bail cancellation of‑‑Cancellation of bail of accused‑lady urged on ground that she was living with persons not of good character and as such misused her liberty, yet no evidence led to prove bad character of her associates‑‑Respondent, being a woman, held, under law entitled to grant of bail‑‑Cancellation of bail declined‑ circum stances.

Muhammad Ashraf Khan Gadoon for Petitioner.

He contends the respondent No. 1 is now living with the persons who are not of good character. He, therefore, submits that her bail may be cancelled Besides the fact that there is no positive evidence before me to show of what character the respondents 2 and 3 are, the ground urged is not sufficient for the cancellation of bail. The concession granted to her does not seem to have been misused and she being a women under the law is entitled to the grant of bail. This application, being without merits, is, therefore, dismissed in limine.

2. It has been brought to my notice that in spite of clear direction by this Court to the Investigating Agency to put in challan in the Court as early as possible, the Investigating Agency has not yet sub mitted the challan to the Court concerned hay be that the Investigating Agency was not aware of the order of this Court. That direction is repeated and the copy of the order be sent to the S.H.O. concerned with a clear direction that if the order of this Court is not complied with within 15 days, then suitable action would be taken against the person found guilty of non‑compliance of the order of the Court.

S. G. D. Bail maintained.
