WAHABUDDIN---Petitioner
Versus
MAZHAR ALAM KHAN MIANKHEL, J.---Through the present petition, the complainant of
the case F.I.R. No. 600, dated 15-7-2009 Wahab-ud-Din has approached this Court for
cancellation of bail before arrest granted to Fayaz Khan and Yasin Khattak, complainant and the
eye-witness of case F.I.R. No.590, dated 12-7-2009.
2. Brief facts of the prosecution case are that on 15-7-2009 at 13-00 hours, Wahabuddin
complainant reported the matter to the police in writing that at the fateful time, he along with his
other fellows was on duty at Khushal Garden when in the meantime, Fayyaz, Asad Ayaz, Yasin
Khattak and Kamal Bacha along with 4/5 other unknown persons armed with Kalashnikovs and
pistols came there and opened indiscriminate firing at them. They took shelter and resorted to
aerial firing in self-defence. Motive for the offence was stated to be a dispute over the
land/scheme of the garden.
3. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, it is clear that the grounds for grant of bail
and that of cancellation of bail granted by a competent Court are totally different. Strong and
cogent reasons are required for the recall of the same, for instance, if the bail granting order is
perverse or in disregard of settled principles regulating the grant of bail or which was based on
no material/evidence or the accused after grant of bail has misused the concession to extended to
the accused. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner was unable to put forth any of the
above settled principles governing the cancellation of bail. Similarly no such other circumstance
was pointed out which could have helped him in support of his petition.
4. While keeping in view the circumstances and facts of the present case, it appears that the
learned Additional Sessions Judge-IV has rightly confirmed the ad interim pre-arrest bail of the
accused respondents within the ambit of law. Thus, this petition for cancellation of bail being
without any merits is accordingly dismissed.
