Most humbly it prayed on behalf of the above named applicant / accused that this honorable court may be pleased to order for his release on bail in consideration of following facts and grounds:
FACTS

Brief facts of the case are that on 03-06-2015, SHO / S.I Muhammad Arshad had lodged FIR alleging there in that “on 02-6-2015, at about 11:00 (am), S.H.O, Maqsood Raza, of P.S: Aziz Bhatti, along with police party was busy in patrolling duty at place main Dalmia road and during the time he had arrested suspects / accused (1) Muhammad Waseem S/O Muhammad Yaseen (2) Naeem S/O Muhammad Yaseen (3) Muhammad Adil S/O Muhammad Yaseen. Allegedly upon personal search one Pistol 9-MM, load Magazine 8 rounds live, bearing number: 00539208236 was  also recovered from the possession of suspect Muhammad Waseem and the suspect Muhammad Waseem had informed to said S.H.O that the recovered pistol is a licensed. Thereon, by arresting U/S 54 Cr.P.C, the said S.H.O had brought them at police station. Where they all three were interrogated one by one. Suspect Muhammad Waseem had disclosed during interrogation that he is involved directly in Baldia Factory Case and he can point out other accused persons in that case. Thereon the said SHO had informed & called the investigation officer Insp. Choudhry Zafar Iqbal for further investigation in the Baldia Factory Case i.e Case No: 343/2012 ---   U/S: 302/322/436/337/34 PPC --- PS: Site. Accused Muhammad Waseem also had informed to said S.H.O that he has no license of recovered Pistol and he had wrongly stated that the allegedly recovered pistol is licensed one. Thereon the said SHO had lodged FIR No: 273/2015, U/S 23(1) A. Thereafter Insp. Choudhry Zafar Iqbal along with police constables had come on official mobile / van. He  had also interrogated accused Muhammad Waseem and by taking him into custody, he along with police officials had gone to get pointation of  other accused involved in case / crime No; 343/2012. Thereafter Insp. Zafar Iqbal informed that all of sudden, while they were passing Sir Shah Suleman Road, the health condition of accused Muhammad Waseem has become bad and I am going to Hospital for Medical Check-up of accused Muhammad Waseem. After a time, Insp. Choudhry Zafar informed that he was on the way and accused Muhammad Waseem has been expired. Judicial Magistrate No: 06 East, Mr. Waseem Ahmed, conducted proceedings of 176 Cr.P.C and MLO Dr. Ejaz declared through postmortem report No:465/2015 dated:03-06-2015 that accused Muhammad Waseem died due to hit of hard & blunt article on head. It is found that accused Muhammad Waseem has been died due to custodial torture by Insp. Choudhry Zafar and his accomplice constables Muhammad Maqsood, Noman Javaid and Zameer Hussain. This act amounts to offence u/s 302/34 PPC, hence the case is registered”.
During the course of investigation all accused persons were arrested in this case and after usual investigation the investigation officer had submitted the interim charge sheet. In which the Investigation officer opined that two accused persons Insp. Zafar & Constable Zameer Hussain are sent up for challan while other two accused persons (1) Muhammad Maqsood (2) Noman Javaid, are sent up for release U/S 497(ii) Cr.P.C. Thereon the Honorable court of Judicial Magistrate No: 06 vide order dated 07-July-2015 was pleased to decline the opinion of Investigation Officer to release two accused persons U/S 497(ii) Cr.P.C and preferred to take  cognizance for trial upon all four accused persons.
Thereafter the investigation officer had submitted for enlargement of time for submission of Final Charge Sheet / Challan and the two accused persons (1) Muhammad Maqsood (2) Noman Javaid had preferred to file bail application vide  No: 1697/2015. The bail application of said accused persons had been enlarged vide order dated 23-07-2015 and the Investigation officer had also submitted final charge sheet. The applicants/ accused was behind the bar, hence he had preferred to file bail application in trial vide case No: 1579/2015, which has been declined vide order dated 23-9-2015, hence this application:

GROUNDS

1.      That the applicants / accused is innocent and he has not committed any offence. Officer arrestor / S.H.O Maqsood Raza, in order to save his skin, has made involved / entrap the applicant / accused by fabricating false case / story.

2.      That the contents of FIR & MLC states that the deceased was arrested by S.H.O Maqsood Raza, Decased was interrogated  by S.H.O Maqsood Raza, S.H.O Maqsood Raza had obtained - If there was any disclosure by deceased, the corpse was sent to hospital by S.H.O Maqsood Raza, the corpse was brought to hospital by S.I Serfraz Ali. And also at what time the alleged custody of deceased was handed over to applicant/ accused, is silent in FIR.   

3.      That the story narrated in FIR is concocted and after thought as memo of arrest of deceased in the Baldia Factory Case i.e Case No: 343/2012 --- U/S: 302/322/436/337/34 PPC --- PS: Site, does not exist and any Roznamcha record with signatures or handwriting of applicant / accused for taking custody from the hands of complainant, is also not available on record. In these circumstances, the question of taking away the custody of deceased by the applicants/ accused from the hands of Aziz Bhatti Police, is sufficient to consider & to prove that the innocent persons are made involved through fabrication & manipulation of Roznamcha record of Aziz Bhatti police.

4.      That the facts (1) By whom the corpse of deceased was sent to hospital (2) By whom the corpse of deceased was brought at hospital and the question as to by whom the head injury is caused which resulted to death of deceased, are not in conformity with the allegations leveled in FIR & Medico legal certificate, which make it a case of further inquiry.

5.      That the elements i.e no specific role to any one of accused, no recovery of incriminating article from personal possession or on pointation of any one of accused, no independent & direct evidence to connect the applicants / accused with alleged offence, F.I.R is delayed of 22 hours, create boubts that the FIR is after a thought and the circumstances against the applicants / accused are highly doubtful.

6.      That co-accused (1) Muhammad Maqsood (2) Noman Javaid, who are on same footing like present applicants / accused, have already been granted bail vide bail application No: 1697/2015.

7.      That the applicant / accused never been involved in any criminal case. He is a government servant. His whole service benefits, salary & graduaty is lying at governments department. His family (Khandan) is settled in local limits of Karachi. Hence, there is no chance of his absconsion. His character, antecedents, associations and community ties are quite relevant to consider that the applicant / accused cannot have intention to commit murder of any one.

8.      That the final Challan has been submitted and the applicant/accused is no more required for further investigation. Further detention of applicant/accused would serve no useful purpose to prosecution also.

9.      That the applicant/accused is ready to furnish solvent surety to the entire satisfaction of this Hon’ble Court.
