M.R.Khalid Malik for Petitioner.
Date of hearing: 24th March, 1985.
The petitioner is involved in a case under section 18 of Ordinance VII of 1979. The only ground urged is that there is delay in lodging the F.I.R., and that the challan has not been submitted. The case was registered on 23‑10‑1984. I do not consider that delay per se is sufficient to release the petitioner on bail. If the challan is not submitted within reasonable time the petitioner may repeat his request for bail before the learned trial Court.
2. With the above observation the petition is dismissed in limine.
S.G.D. Petition dismissed.
