Judgment & Decree

ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.‑The petitioners seek Leave to Appeal against the order of the learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court, dated 1‑6‑1982, dismissing their revision petition.

2. Muhammad Ali and Madad Ali petitioners stood surety for Ali Muhammad son of Muhammad Bakhsh who was ascused of an offence under section 302/34, P. P. C., and executed bail bonds in the sum of Rs. 25, each on 25‑6‑1980. The said accused, however, jumped the bail and ab sconded. His bail was therefore, cancelled and the amount of bonds ordered to be forfeited. A show‑cause notice was issued to the petitioners to show cause as to why the said amount should not be recovered from them but they failed to appear in the Court. Proceedings were, therefore, taken for recovery of the aforementioned amount and were also ordered to be sent to civil prison for a period of 6 months. Ultimately, the learned Additional Sessions Judge passed an order on 3‑5‑1981, for attachment and sale of their immovable property.. The petitioners filed a revision petition before the High Court for reduction of the amount. The revision was, however, dismissed in limine by the learned Single Judge vide the impugned order.

3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and gone through the impugned order. We find no flaw in the reasons recorded by the learned Judge in Chamber while dismissing the petitioners' revi sion petition and do not, therefore, consider this to be a fit case for grant of leave. The petition is consequently dismissed. Petition dismissed.
