This is a petition for bail on behalf of Muhammad Aslam alias Pappu petitioner who is involved in a case under section 307/326/34, P.P.C. This is his second bail application. Criminal Miscellaneous No. 4043‑B of 1987, previously filed by him, was disposed of vide order, dated 18‑1‑1988 with the observation that if the trial is not concluded before 18‑2‑1988, the petitioner will be at liberty to repeat the application.

The learned trial Magistrate in his report, dated 18‑2‑1388, has submitted that the case was fixed for production of defence evidence but the District Magistrate, Gujranwala, has summoned the record to decide application made by the injured witness for the withdrawal of the case and that the case will be concluded as soon as the file is returned by the District Magistrate.
