2. The allegation against the accused is that on 24-11-2003 at about 10 a.m. Fiaz Hussain along with others were driving Suzuki Van from his bakery and were intercepted by the accused who were armed with fire-arms and one of them fired at Fiaz Hussain hitting on his left leg. However, they managed to escape.

3. The petitioner was arrested on 16-12-2003 along with his co-accused and according to the police official present in Court, statements of Abdul Aziz Khan and Abid Khan were recorded who had suspected the petitioner along with his co-accused Amir Moawya and Azmat Khan in the instant case and thereafter identification parade was held in jail and P.Ws. identified the petitioner and his co-accused responsible for commission of the crime.

4. The petitioner was declined after arrest bail by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Mianwali vide order dated 26-8-2004. Hence this petition.

6. Admittedly, as per police record the petitioner has not caused the injury. However, it has been attributed to Ameer Moawya, co-accused. Whether the petitioner shared common intention for commission of dacoity or co-accused who fired at Fiaz intended to commit his murder is not clear from the record. It has been stated by the police official present with record that the petitioner was present with motorcycles of the accused party. In the F.I.R. no source of light was mentioned that how they identified the accused. The petitioner was arrested in case F.I.R. No.319 under section 392, P.P.C. in which he has already been admitted to bail by the learned trial Court, therefore, the present case against the petitioner is also of further inquiry. Hence he is admitted to bail subject to his furnishing of bail bonds in the sums of Rs.50,000 with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. H.B.T./M-1099/L Bail granted.
