G. M. Soomro for Applicant.
Gul Muhammad Awan for the State.
The petitioner is alleged to be facing trial under various sections of the Penal Code including that of section 307, P. P. C. Three co‑accused in the case have already been enlarged on bail. The case of the petitioner has been distinguished by the lower Court on the ground that the only injury found on the person of complainant was inflicted by him. The injury is no doubt seated on the vital part of the body namely, head but the circumstances in which the same has been caused do not prima facie show that he had inflicted the injury in an attempt to commit murder. Besides this; it is said that the case has been transferred to Assistant Sessions Judge for trial. The maximum power vested in the said Judge to award imprisonment is upto 7 years. In view of these circumstances the learned State counsel has no objection to grant of bail. Bail is allowed in the sum of Rs. 15,000 and P. R. of the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
S.G.D. Order accordingly.
