SARDAR TARIQ MASOOD, J.---Fida Hussain petitioner seeks bail before arrest in case F.I.R. No.408, dated 18-9-2009 registered under sections 447/511/379/506, P.P.C. at, Police Station Saddar District Rahimyar Khan.   Briefly the prosecution story mentioned in the F.I.R. is that the petitioner along with others trespassed into the land of the complainant, threw his bricks outside and threatened to occupy the land of the complainant and stolen away the bricks.   Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that offence under section 379, P.P.C. has been deleted by the police and section 506, P.P.C. is not made out and remaining sections are bailable.
