Judgment & Decree

Resident Magistrate, Pind Dadan Khan, forwarded the case against the petitioners to the learned Sessions Judge Jhelum, and gave direction that the accused shall be produced there on 16-6-1977. It is contended that the accused were committed to jail the same day without any valid order. A query was made from the learned Sessions Judge as to whether any remand order had been passed by the learned Sessions Judge or not. A report has been received from the learned Sessions Judge to the effect that no order appears to have been passed on his file on 16-6-1977 or subsequently. Thus, it is quite evident that the petitioners are in jail without any remand order. The case titled Shadi Khan v. Muhammad Saleem and 3 others (P L J 1978 S C 38) is not applicable to the facts of this case. Since the petitioners are being kept in judicial custody without any order and their detention being illegal, I admit them to bail in the sum of Rs. 10,000 with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of A. C., Jhelum.

2. Copy of the order be given dasti on usual payment.
