Judgment text as reported

SADDAM HUSSAIN VS State. S.497(2)---Prevention of Smuggling of Migrants Act (XVIII of 2018), Ss.3 & 6---Constitution of Pakistan, Art.185(3)---Receiving money, etc. for providing foreign employment, smuggling of migrants---Bail, grant of---Further inquiry. Allegations against the accused/petitioner were that he was involved in the offence of receiving money for providing foreign employment. Petitioner was alleged to have been involved in commission of offence under Prevention of Smuggling of Migrants Act, 2018. Prosecution case was that petitioner was nominated in crime report pursuant to information received by Federal Investigation Agency. Allegedly, premises from which passports and other incriminating documents were taken into possession were owned by petitioner. Deputy Attorney General, who was present along with Investigating Officer, was unable to show that sufficient incriminating material had been collected to connect petitioner with alleged offences. At this stage, prima facie, a case for further inquiry was made out because question whether offences alleged to have been committed were attracted to the extent of petitioner required further probe. Investigation to the extent of petitioner had been concluded and his further incarceration would not serve any useful purpose. Petition was converted into an appeal and the same was allowed, in circumstances.
