Judgment & Decree

ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.‑‑This is a petition for leave to appeal from the order of a learned Judge of Lahore High Court dated 17‑7‑1984 rejecting petitioners' request for release on bail. The four petitioners alongwith five others, Khan, Walayat, Azam, Zulfikar and Zahoor are awaiting trial in a case under section 302/307/149/148 of the Pakistan Penal Code. The five co‑accused have been allowed bail for the reason according to the High Court that "they were found innocent by the police". Petitioners' request has been rejected by the Additional Sessions Judge, Jhang and the High Court for the reason that in the F.I. R. specific parts have been assigned to the petitioners for participation in the crime which has led to two murders and murderous assault on three persons. The reasons which have prevailed in the High Court for rejecting petitioners' request for bail are unassailable. There is no merit in this petition and it is dismissed. It is, however, open to petitioners to repeat the request for bail after material evidence is recorded by the trial Court. M.Y.H Petition dismissed.
