2. Arguments heard and record perused.

3. As per FIR, total ten accused have been charged by the complainant for the incident. No doubt, the role of effective firing has been assigned specifically to the petitioner but complainant has not sustained any injury while as per medico legal report Sabaz Ali has sustained a solitary injury, and that too, on his non-vital part of the body i.e. heel and ankle, therefore, intention of the petitioner to kill when the injured and complainant were squarely at his mercy is yet to be determined during trial after recording evidence. At the moment the injury of the injured would fall within the definition of Badi'ah punishment of which has been provided under section 337-F(ii), P.P.C., which does not fall within the Prohibitory Clause of section 497, Cr.P.C., therefore, the petitioner is entitled to concession of bail.

4. Accordingly, this petition is allowed. Accused/petitioner is admitted to bail provided he furnishes bail bonds in the sum of Rs.3,00,000/- with two local, reliable and resourceful sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned Illaqa Judicial Magistrate/MOD concerned.

JK/186/P Bail allowed.
