Judgment & Decree
MUHAMMAD ATHAR SAEED, J.
After hearing the arguments of the learned counsel at some length, the learned counsel for the applications submits that he will be satisfied if the directions are issued to the Trial Court to complete hearing of the case and dispose of the same within a period of two months after the vacancy in the Court has been filled in. It is excepted that the vacancies will be filled in as soon as the steps are being taken to induct new Additional Sessions Judges. Since eight witnesses have already been examined and five more are required to be examined, the request appears to be reasonable. However, the period for the finalization of the case appears to be short. Therefore, to meet the ends of justice, directions are issued to District and Sessions Judge, Karachi East to ensure that as soon as the vacancy in the Court of I-Additional Sessions Judge, Karachi East is filled in, he be directed to conduct the case on day to day basis and dispose of the case preferably within a period of three months from the date of filling of such vacancy. However, if any adjournment is sought by the Defence, such period will not be included in the period of three months. If the case is not finalized within above period the applicants will be at liberty to file fresh bail applications. This bail application is disposed of in the above manner. H.B.T./K-6/K Order accordingly.
