applicant in presence of witnesses Muhammad Gul and PC. Tanveer Ahmed.

It is, inter alia contended by the learned counsel for the applicant that in fact the applicant was in custody
since 28-4-2011 and in this regard he referred to a Roznamcha Entry of Police Station where it was
alleged that on 28-4-2011 some persons entered the house and took away the present applicant, but the
alleged F.I.R. was lodged on 12-5-2011. It is further contended by the learned counsel that the applicant
is innocent and has falsely been involved in the crime in question and the so-called recovery has been
foisted upon the applicant. Learned counsel further contended that the applicant has already been granted
bail by this Court in another F.I.R. bearing No.189 of 2011 registered in the same offence as that of in the
instant case on the ground that under section 7 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908 no permission has
yet been obtained from the Provincial Government for prosecution. In support of his case, learned
counsel has relied upon the case of Nusrat Ali v. The State (1997 SCMR 876).
On the other hand, learned Additional Prosecutor-General, Sindh has not been able to controvert the
contention of the learned counsel for the applicant in respect of the permission from the Provincial
Government for prosecution as required under section 7 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908. Learned
Additional Prosecutor-General, Sindh concedes that the memo of recovery filed by police in the instant
case has already been submitted in the case F.I.R. No.187 of 2011, in which the applicant has already
been on bail granted by this Court.
I have heard the learned counsel for the Applicant learned Additional Prosecutor-General, Sindh as well
as perused the material available on record.
It is an admitted position that the applicant has already been granted bail by this Court in another F.I.R.
bearing No.189 of 2011 as no permission has yet been obtained from the Provincial Government for
prosecution under section 7 ibid with the observation that non-availability of sanction/consent of the
Provincial Government under section 7 ibid makes the case of further enquiry.
In the facts and circumstances of the case, the applicant is granted bail subject to his furnishing solvent
surety in the sum of Rs.1,00,000 (Rupees One Lac only) and. PR Bond in the like amount to the
satisfaction of the learned trial Court.
