Judgment & Decree

‑‑ Anticipatory bail granted to persons cancelled by High Court and High Court directing that they be taken into custody when in fact no process of any kind issued by Magistrate dealing with the caseOrder of High Court set aside. Sardar Sami Hayat, Advocate Supreme Court instructed by Tanvir Ahmad, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioners. M. A. Bajwa, Advocate Supreme Court on behalf of Advocate‑General Punjab for the State. ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.‑A learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court while cancelling bail granted to Sulaman Khan and his brother Shabbir Khan, petitioners herein, directed by the order dated the 28th November 1974, that they shall be taken into custody by the concerned District authorities. It is submitted by learned counsel in support of this petition for special leave to appeal that the learned Single Judge in the High Court ignored the fact that no process 'of any kind has been issued against the petitioners by the Magistrate dealing with the case and no direction regarding their custody in jail could, therefore, be given by the High Court. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioners we converted the petition into appeal. Learned counsel appearing for the State conceded that no coercive process has yet been issued against the petitioners in the complaintcase by the 1st Class Magistrate, Gujranwula, and that they are also not required for police custody in connection with the First Information Report registered under section 302/34, P. P. C. at the Police Station, Kamoke. In view of this admitted position, the impugned order passed by the learned Single Judge is set aside and the appeal is allowed. The First Class Magistrate, Gujranwala will, however, deal with the complaint filed against the petitioners according to law. Appeal allowed
