The learned Additional Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the State has opposed the prayer for bail and he has submitted that the investigation of the case is still going on. 7. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the house from where the flesh of cow progeny is alleged to have been recovered does not belong to the applicant; that besides custodial statement of a co-accused person there is no other material to connect the applicant with the offence in question; that the applicant has no previous criminal history and co-accused persons Amir Khan, Ajijul Khan and Kamar Jahan have been granted bail and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on antipatory bail in the aforesaid crime. 8.
