It is alleged in the F.I.R. that on 22-4-1986, Nadeem Aslam complainant was coming out of the Police Post, District Courts. When he reached the crossing, suddenly Abdur Rashid, Sarwar and Latif accused came there on two motor-cycles. They got down. They caught hold of Nadeem Aslam complainant. He tried to put up resistence. Muhammad Sarwar accused caught hold of him while Muhammad Latif accused gave blow with his head on the nose of Nadeem P.W. who fell unconscious. Abdur Rashid gave him fist blows. Many people assembled at the spot and rescued him from the accused. Muhammad Hanif P.W. also witnessed the occurrence. A sum of Rs.120 fell out of the pocket of the complainant during this occurrence. He was taken to hospital for treatment and examination. The matter was reported to the police on that very day who formally registered the case on 15-5-1986 after the injury on nose was declared grievous. The three accused were arrested. They did not succeed in their plea for bail before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Lahore. Hence this petition. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the State.
