LARKANA, Oct 14: District and Sessions Judge Anwar Azam Baloch granted bail to three juvenile delinquents who were jailed after the Railway police had booked them in different cases.

The Railway police had arrested Raheel, son of Latif Abro, Zohaib, son of Mushtaque Khokhar, and Parvez, son Ghulam Mustafa Mirani, on August 3 for stealing nuts and bolts and fish-plates of the Railway track near the Shahnawaz Bhutto railway station.

When the district and sessions judge visited the central prison Larkana, the boys told him about their innocence.

The judge referred them to the medical board of the Chandka Medical College Hospital Larkana for ascertaining their ages.

The medical superintendent of the CMCH, Dr Mehboob Shah, sent medical certificates to the court on Friday.

The board ascertained that Raheel Abro and Zohaib were 12-year-old while Parvez Mirani was 13-year-old.

Abdul Rehman Bhutto pleading the case on behalf of the Child Rights Committee said the sessions judge granted the bail in Rs10,000 each on the grounds that they were under-aged and there was no eyewitness against them.
