Ch. Rafiq Ahmad Bajwa for Petitioners. Sana Ullah Hashmat for the Complainant. Aftab Sherazi for the State. This is a petition under section 497, Cr.P.C. by Farzand Ali and Muhammad Asghar, petitioners, for bail in respect of a case instituted against them and two others under section 302/34, P.P.C. at Police Station Kassowal, District Sahiwal on 15‑5‑1986.
2. Bail is pressed on the ground that though the petitioners were arrested on 20‑6‑1986, no charge has yet been framed and the trial is not likely to conclude till another six months.
3. On behalf of the complainant, it is submitted that since the petitioners moved a transfer petition, therefore, the case has been delayed and the petitioners are not entitled to be released on bail.
