Representation
- Raja Muhammad Anwar, Advocate Supreme Court instructed by Muhammad Aslam Chaudhry, Advocate‑on‑Record for Petitioners.
- Date of hearing: 16th June, 1987.
- Ch. Muhammad Ashraf, Advocate Supreme Court instructed by M.A. Qadri, Advocate‑on‑Record for the Complainant.
- S. M. Zubair, Assistant Advocate‑General for the State.
- 2. By a detailed order in Crl. P.S.L.A. No.145 of of 1987 which was converted into appeal, Muhammad Amin, a co‑accused, was admitted to pre‑arrest bail by this Court. The learned Assistant Advocate General does not dispute that the case of the petitioners is at par with that of Muhammad Amin at the present stage of investigations. We would therefore convert this petition into appeal and admit the petitioners to pre‑arrest bail on their furnishing bonds in the sum of Rs.25,000 each with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Sessions Judge, Sahiwal. We may however add that if during the course of investigations evidence becomes available which prima facie indicates that any of the petitioners is guilty of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life or rigorous imprisonment up to ten years it will be open to the investigating agency to apply for the cancellation of his bail. The petitioners shall join the investigations. With these observations the appeal is disposed of.
