SAJID REHMAN Versus THE STATE

ORDER

1. Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered against him with Police Station Model Town, Lahore, for an offence under section 324, Qisas and Diyat Ordinance. The case was got registered by Tanveer Hussain with the allegation that on 6‑11‑1991, at about 10‑30 p.m. petitioner came to his house and took away the first informant's elder brother Shabbir Hussain for having dinner. The first informant with two others was standing when the petitioner with said Shabbir Hussain came back on a motor‑cycle. Within, their view petitioner caused number of knife blows to Shabbir Hussain who fell down. Petitioner escaped from the spot.

2. It was contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the case against the petitioner is absolutely false. Submits that actually case has been got registered by the step‑brother of the petitioner through the present complainant. Argued that even otherwise it has been more than five months yet the challan has not been submitted in Court. Petition has been opposed by the learned Assistant Advocate‑General.

2. I have heard the learned counsel and gone through the police file. It is a case of single accused, therefore, chances of substitution can safely be ruled out. Petitioner was armed with a knife and caused five injuries which were declared grievous and dangerous to life. Challan has already been submitted in Court. No ground for bail is made out. Petition fails which is dismissed.

3. N.H.Q./S‑156/L

4. Bail refused.
