Criminal Miscellaneous No.2688‑B of 1985, decided on 15th December, 1985.

M. Yaqub Sheikh for Petitioner.
Sarfraz Hussain for the State.
Amjad Ahmad Sheikh for Respondent.
Muhammad Ali, petitioner, has applied for the cancellation of bail allowed to Amjad Ali in the murder case pending against him.
2. The respondent was allowed bail on the ground of his youth. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that since he acted in a cruel, brutal and unusual manner, therefore, he should not have been allowed bail on account of his age.
3. I have considered the matter. On the day of occurrence, respondent was 14 years and 10 months old. There is the solitary injury attributed to him with a knife to the victim. Youth has always been considered a ground for bail. It has been reported by the Sessions Judge that the case is to be fixed for 11‑1‑86. Under these circumstances, I do not consider it a fit case for interfering in the bail order. This petition is dismissed with the direction to the office w, that the record of the case be sent back to the Court of the Sessions Judge, Sialkot, forthwith, and after the despatch of the record, the office will bring it to my notice by tomorrow.
S. G. D. Petition dismissed.
