Muhammad Akram Qureshi for Petitioner. Muhammad Akram for the State. It is contended that Rehan alias Rehani petitioner was arrested on 18‑12 1987 but his trial has not come to an end. A report was called from the learned trial Magistrate. According to him on some dates either the petitioner or his mother was not produced from the jail and on some dates his counsel was not present. The delay also took place because of the transfer of his predecessor seized of the case. Non‑presence of prosecution witnesses on some dates also contributed to the delay.
