Judgment & Decree

Muhammad Younas petitioner alongwith 6 others charged for the murder of Muhammad Ameen deceased and for murderously assaulting Muhammad Azeem P.W. with fire‑arms on 3‑12‑198'7.

2. Bail is pleaded on the ground that though he was said to be carrying fire‑arm he did not fire at the deceased and is alleged to have caused a simple injury to Muhammad Azeem complainant on his shoulder with revolver.

3. The petitioner had earlier applied for bail but was not considered entitled to bail and his application was dismissed on 5‑7‑1988 on the ground that he was alleged to be a member of an unlawful assembly which had waylaid and launched attack on the complainant party with fire‑arms. Almost on the same ground he has applied for bail again. It is stated that he is behind the bars since 8‑1-1980 and that the trial has not commenced as no full‑fledged Sessions Judge has been posted at Sialkot after the elevation of the former Sessions Judge.

4. Instead of granting bail to the petitioner I would direct that his trial be concluded in a period of three months. In case no permanent Sessions Judge is posted at Sialkot the case would be put tip before the officiating Sessions Judge who will either hold the trial himself or may entrust it to any of the Additional Sessions Judges with a direction to conclude the case in three months. The petition is dismissed with the above observation. H.B.T./M‑1074/L Order accordingly.
