The occurrence was allegedly witnessed by Ghaus Bakhsh and Muhammad Amin besides the complainant. The petitioners were arrested on 22‑7‑1986.

2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well for the State and also perused the record.

He does not implicate the petitioners as his assailants. In the circumstances, this petition is allowed.
