2. This is a petition for bail on behalf of Ahmad Yar son of Noor Muhammad accused only. I have heard the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties. Ahmad Yar was empty handed at the time of occurrence. He did not cause any injury to the deceased or any witness. The only role ascribed to him is that he caught hold of Muhammad Siddique deceased who was later fired at by the other two accused, Ahmad Yar was found innocent during investigation and placed in Column No. 2. 1, therefore, find his case to be that of further enquiry. Ahmad Yar is admitted to bail on his furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.20,000 (Rupees twenty thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of A.C./Duty Magistrate, Okara.
