Judgment & Decree

A M. Sultan Alam for Petitioner. Ch. Nazir Ahmad for the State. Date of hearing: 9th March, 1982. Petitioners, Alam Shah and Willayat Shah have moved this petition for bail in a case under section 302/324/452/34, P. P. C., registered at P. S. Kabirwala, vide F. I. R. No. 98. dated 27th April, 1981. The prosecution case is that the petitioners in furtherance of their common intention caused the death of Muhammad Ramzan on 25th April, 1981 in the area of Chak No. 18/A. H. of P. S. Kabirwala. As for the petitioners, it is alleged that Alam Shah while armed with a knife and Walayat Shah with spear caused injuries to Muhammad Ramzan, who subsequently succumbed to the same.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the complainant and Ahmad Bakhsh, eye-witnesses, in their statements recorded under section 164 have exonerated the petitioners. Before me, Muhammad Yousaf and Ahmad Bakhsh have owned their statement under section 164, Cr. P. C. As against this, learned counsel for the State has opposed this application.

5. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I find that out of three alleged eye-witnesses two eye-witnesses including the com plainant, who is first cousin of the deceased, and Ahmed Bakhsh P. W. have not supported the prosecution case in their statements recorded under section 164 Cr. P. C. (certified copies placed on the record) and, as such, A the mater requires further inquiry. The petitioners are, therefore, allowed bail in the sum of Rs. 20,000 (rupees twenty thousand) each with one surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of A. C., Kabirwalas S. G. D. Bail granted.
