MUBASHIR AHMAD vs THE STATE

ORDER

1. Report from the Sessions Court, Gujrat, has been received. The petitioner was arrested on 9-84985; since then he has been in jail. If the report of the learned Sessions Judge is to be believed, then the supplementary challan against him has not yet reached the Court. That means that the trial of the petitioner is nowhere in sight. The mere fact that the petitioner had been declared as an absconder should not, in my vicw,stand in the way of his release on bail. I, therefore, allow him to be released on bail on his furnishing bond in the sum of Rs,50,000 (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
