2. Hassan Naqvi Inspector F.I.A. is present with record. According to his information they have gone to Saudi Arabia. Efforts are being made to repatriate them to Pakistan. Petitioner remained on bail for 3‑1/2 months. His bail was not confirmed on the ground that he may not abscond.
3. Learned counsel submitted that if the petitioner wanted to run away, he could do so when he was on bail.
4. It is contended that the reason given by the learned Judge for not confirming the bail is not in accordance with law.
5. Inspector submitted that the challan has been completed. Only sanction is awaited. He further submitted that usually it takes very long time to get sanction from the Interior Ministry and in the present case it is not known when the sanction is likely to be given.
6. I do not think it is in the interest of justice to keep the petitioner behind the bars for indefinite period. He is admitted to bail in the sum of Rs.2,00,000 (Rupees two lac) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of Special Judge (Central), Lahore.
S.A. /M‑101/L Bail granted.
