(On appeal from the judgment, and order of the Lahore High Court, dated 23‑5‑1981, in Cr. Miscellaneous No. 11040‑B/81).
‑‑ Ss. 497 & 498‑Bail‑Grant of bail, in discretion of High Court‑No principle of law found to have been violated by High Court in exercising discretion‑Order of High Court suffering neither from any misreading nor omission of record‑Case, held, does not call for inter ference by Supreme Court.
Mian Muzaffar Ahmed Advocate Supreme Court and Rana Maqbool Ahmad, Advocate on‑Record for Petitioner.
Sh. Abdul Karim, Advocate‑on‑Record for Respondents.
The High .Court, vide its order dated 23‑5‑1981, passed in criminal miscellaneous No 1040‑8/1.981, granted bail to (f) Muhammad Nawaz and (ii) Laloo, respondents herein. The petitioner Nazar Muhammad who is complainant in the case has come up in a petition for special leave to appeal against the same to this Court.
2. We have heard the learned counsel and gone through the relevant orders of the courts below and other documents placed by the learned counsel on record. The grant of bail, it is‑obvious, is essentially in the discretion of the High Court and we do not find that the High Court has committed violation of any principle of law in the matter of grant of bail in cases of this type. The reasons given by the High Court are quite sound and suffer neither from any misreading nor omission of the record and in our opinion, in these circumstances, this is not a fit case for interference by this Court.
3. The result is that this petition has no merit and is dismissed hereby.
Petition dismissed.
