Judgment & Decree

MUHAMMAD GUL, J.‑‑This petition is from the order of the Lahore High Court dated 7‑4‑1975 whereby bail granted earlier to the petitioner herein, who was accused alongwith others in a case under section 302 read with section 34, P.P.C. was cancelled because he had since been committed to the Court of Sessions for trial. The main ground urged by the learned counsel in support of the petition is that the petitioner's father and brother who were also co‑accused in the case have been allowed bail by this Court on 9‑11‑1973 in the appeal arising out of petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 322 of 1973. It appears that this Court allowed the bail to them because neither of the two was named as accused in the F.I.R. On the other hand the fatal injury is attributed to the petitioner herein and he is also named in the F.I.R. as the principal accused. This clearly distinguishes the petitioner's case from the other accused and, therefore, A the bail was rightly cancelled by the High Court following the dictum of this Court in Muhammad Shafi v. Muhammad Hanif 1970 S C M R

143. There is no merit in this petition which is hereby dismissed. M. I. Leave refused.
