' MUNIR A. SHEIKH, J.--- This petition is directed against the order, dated 4-2-2003 of the Lahore High Court, Lahore, through which application for grant of post-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No,436, dated 7- 11-2002 under sections 148/324/337-A(i)/149, P.P.C. Filed by the petitioners has been dismissed.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that there is a delay of 24 hours in lodging the F.I.R., therefore, it is a case of further inquiry, for the F.I.R. Appears to have been lodged after due deliberations.

3. The motive attributed in the F.I.R. Was that the petitioners herein were being tried for causing injuries to Kashif in which they were on bail and had come to pressurize the latter to withdraw the said case. The question of delay in lodging F.I.R. Would be a matter for deeper appraisal and it will not be proper to express any opinion at this stage. Suffice it to say that prima facie the maker of the F.I.R. Has given the explanation that the complainant had been attending to his injured brother who was brought first to Hospital at Gujranwala which referred his case to Mayo Hospital, Lahore.

Since the petitioners have been attributed specific role along with motive, therefore, we are not inclined to interfere in the well-reasoned discretionary order passed by the High Court.

5. For the foregoing reasons, this petition has no merits which is accordingly, dismissed and . revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
