Judgment & Decree

WAHIDUDDIN AHMAD, J.‑It is conceded by the learned counsel for the petitioners that commitment proceedings have been finished and the petitioners have been committed to Sessions Court for trial. The proper course, therefore, for the petitioners is to move the Sessions Judge concerned for deciding the question whether on the evidence produced by the prosecution, the petitioners are entitled to be released on bail. It is after the matter is decided by the Sessions Court that the petitioners should move the High Court and if necessary to this Court, for the redress of their grievances. At this stage there is no ground to interfere with the impugned order. The petition is dismissed. Leave refused.
