ORDER 
 
 
      Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed, J.- Apprehending arrest, 
Abdul Aziz Memon, petitioner herein, seeks bail in anticipation thereto; 
he is accused in Crime No.109, registered with Police Station Matyari, 
on the complaint of Hakim Ali, allegedly duped for appointment as a 
Naib Qasid in the Education Department, in lieu of payment of 
Rs.500,000. An appointment letter, received by the complainant, 
turned out a fake instrument after two years service without pay.  
 
Before the Courts below, the petitioner pleaded innocence, citing 
a dispute over a transaction involving wheat crop for a consideration of 
Rs.200,000 
paid 
through 
different 
bank 
cheques 
issued 
in 
complainant’s favour, followed by a default; the same story is 
reiterated, nonetheless, in the absence of any proof or investigative 
support.    
2. 
 
Heard. Record perused. 
3. 
 
Complainant’s futile service as a Naib Qasid at a school for 
a period of two years, abruptly terminated when the appointment letter 
Cr.P. No. 231-k OF 2019 
2 
provided by the petitioner, upon verification, was found as a forged 
instrument; two years of service and a fake appointment letter are 
circumstances, resting upon incriminatory statements, singularly 
pointed upon petitioner’s culpability that he cannot ward off by 
clamouring a bald plea of mala fide, structured upon denial and a 
parallel story. Grant of pre-arrest bail is an extraordinary remedy, 
rooted into equity, to protect the honour and freedom of the innocent in 
criminal cases actuated by abuse of process of law for oblique motives 
and purposes; this protection cannot be extended in every run of the 
mill criminal case without grievously hindering the investigative 
process. View taken by the High Court, being well within the remit of 
law,  does not call for interference. Petition fails. Leave refused.
