ORDER

1. DORAB PATEL, J.-The petitioner's bail application was dismissed by the Sind High Court on 25-10- 1980, inter alia, on the ground that he was not present when his case had come up for bearing.

2. Now, Mr. Shaukat Ali's explanation for the petitioner's absence in the High Court (except on 18-9- 1980, when the petition was admitted to regular hearing) was that the Police would have arrested him on his way to the High Court, therefore, learned counsel relied on a judgment of one of us (M. A.

3. Zullah, J.) in Sh. Zahoor Ahmad v. The State (PLD 1974 Lah. 256).

Therefore, this petition is dismissed, but the f petitioner is free to file a fresh application in the Sind High Court under section 561-A of the Criminal Procedure Code.
