GHULAM HAIDER Versus MUHAMMAD KHAN

ORDER

Ghulam Haider petitioner had got a case registered against the respondents and others with Police Station Mochh, District Mianwah on 29-4-1993 for offences under section 302/324/34, P.P.C. Respondents Nasar Khan and Tahir Khan in pursuance of the case were arrested on 21-6-1993. They applied for bail, which was granted to them on statutory ground on 6-3-1996. Complainant has moved the present application seeking cancellation of the bail allowed to respondents by Additional Sessions Judge, Mianwali.

2. It was contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the case against respondents Muhammad Khan and Nasar Khan is of heinous nature and they should not have been allowed bail. Argued that mostly the respondents were responsible for causing the delay in conclusion of the trial and in such circumstances were not entitled to concession of bail on statutory ground.

3. I have heard the learned counsel at length and gone through the file, The respondents are named in the F.I.R. and overt act was also ascribed to each of them but bail by the learned trial Court was not allowed on merits; instead .it was allowed on statutory ground. They were allowed bail after they remained m jail as undertrial prisoners for more than 2-1/2 years. Going through the order impugned, I find no exception can be taken. The petition fails, which is, accordingly, dismissed.

N.H.Q./G-5/L Petition dismissed.
