SIKANDAR IJAZ Versus THE STATE

ORDER

1. This is a pathetic case in which a police officer has been involved. It is stated that he has been involved on account of enmity with the S.S.P. Sargodha.

2. Precisely, it is stated that the relations of the S.S.P. Sargodha and the petitioner's family had been, in past, contesting elections against each other and on that score, long-standing enmity exists between the parties and thus, with a view to victimize the petitioner, a false case has b en fabricated against him. In fact, three cases were registered against the petitioner and the investigation of two of these cases was conducted by Mr. Muhammad Amlish, Addl. S.P., Faisalabad, who found these cases to be false.

3. As far as the third case is concerned with regard to the recovery of Klashnikov from the petitioner, the investigation of this case was not allowed to be conducted by Mr Muhammad Amlish. Addl. S.P. and on one pretext or the other, the relevant papers were not sent to him because, in the meanwhile, the trial in the Special Court, constituted under the Suppression of Terrorist Activities Act, 1975, was in progress. To meet the ends of justice,- this Court directed that the investigation of this case should also be transferred to Mr. Muhammad Amlish, Addl. S.P.

4. Considering the case from all angles, and particularly the mala fides appearing in this case, I would direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail, provided, he furnishes security in the sum of Rs.1,00,000 (Rs. one hundred thousand) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of trial Court.

5. N.H.Q./S-105/L Bail allowed.
