In that connection some twelve persons who were said to be members of the Panchayat, recorded their conclusion, photostat copy of which has been placed on record of this petition. A photostat copy of the affidavit of Mst. Rehana Kausar, the victim, has also been placed on record. It is stated that the original affidavit was produced at the time of hearing of bail petition by the learned Additional Sessions Judge.
Mst. Rehana Kausar in her affidavit has accepted the verdict of the Panchayat, wherein the petitioner was said to have taken oath on Qur'an.
Although, allegations against the petitioner had been levelled in the F.I.R. of having entered the house of the complainant forcibly anal of having tried to commit Zina with her on dagger point, but in view of the facts noted above and particularly in view of the fact that the victim herself seems to be inclined to pardon the petitioner. I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. He shall be released on furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.10,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Assistant Commissioner, Model Town, Lahore.
