by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge -cum- Special
Judge, Umerkote vide order dated 10.04.2024.
Considering the submission made by the learned
counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is in
judicial custody since 28.02.2024 and his implication
in this case is based on the confessional statement of
the co-accused persons before police and some of the
them have already been released on bail and on
hearing learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to
release the petitioner on bail. Learned counsel filed
the xerox copy of the bail order of the co-accused
persons, which are taken on record.
Let the petitioner be released on bail in the
aforesaid case on furnishing a bail bond of
Rs.50,000/-(rupees fifty thousand) with two local
solvent sureties each for the like amount to the
satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin over the
matter with further conditions as the learned Court
below may deem just and proper including the
condition that the petitioner shall not indulge in any
criminal activities and shall appear before the learned
trial Court on each date to which the case would be
posted for trial.
Violation of any of the conditions shall entail
cancellation of bail.
Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
