ABDUR RASHID ALIAS SHEEDA Versus THE STATE

ORDER

The prosecution case in brief is that Abdur Rashid alias Sheeda petitioner on 28‑4‑1987 at about 2‑30 p.m. on Eid Gah Road Rehmanpura gave knife blows to Abdur Rauf. The motive was stated to be that one Muhammad Rafique used to visit the house of the complainant for recitation of Quran but Abdul Rashid accused did not appreciate that visit because Rafique had divorced his maternal‑cousin. Abdul Rauf received six sharp‑edged weapon injuries on his person out of which injury No.6 on back was grievous in nature. The injury had resulted in paralysis restricting the movement of the injured.

2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and have perused the record. It is correct that at the time of occurrence the age of petitioner was less than 16 years. His date of birth is 18‑8‑1971. He is more than 16 years at this moment. The injured received six injuries in all. Injury No.6 is on vital part of the body and was grievous in nature. The case against the petitioner is not that of further enquiry. It cannot be said at this stage that there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the accused has committed a non‑bailable offence. I, therefore, relying on Arbab Ali v. Khamisu 1985 S C M R 195 dismiss this petition.

S.G.D./A‑237/L Bail refused.
