Memo for the State.
Date of hearing : 20th April, 1981.
MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.‑Leave to appeal has been sought from order, dated 4‑3‑1981, whereby the second petition for bail of the petitioner in a case of Zina was dismissed by a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court. Earlier, bail granted to the petitioner by a learned Additional Sessions Judge was cancelled on two grounds
"(1) That a previous order passed by the High Court was not brought to his notice ; and
(2) There was an uncontroverted assertion that the petitioner had attempted to suborn the evidence."
After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, we do not find any justification for interference with the orders whereby the petitioner was refused the concession of bail because an attempt was made to mislead a Court of law. This petition accordingly is dismissed.
S. A. H.
Petition dismissed.
