2. The prosecution case is that the petitioner and others in furtherance of their common object, caused the death of Muhammad Sharif on 16‑4‑1987 in the area of Adda Sheikhan of Police Station Barana.

As for the petitioner it has been alleged that he came alongwith the co -accused and remained present at the place of occurrence armed with a Lathi.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had not caused any injury to the deceased. Learned counsel for the State has not controverted him.

For what has been said above, I feel that a case for grant of bail to the petitioner has been made out. He will be released on furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.20,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner/City Magistrate, Jhang.
