QAZI MUHAMMAD AMIN AHMED, J.---Declined downstairs throughout, Zahoor Khan, petitioner herein, seeks admission to bail; alongside co-accused, he is alleged to have fatally targeted Yaheer Shah on 25.10.2014 at 18:00 hours within the remit of Police Station Katling District Mardan in the backdrop of a motive that hovered over a piece of land; away from law, he was arrested after a period exceeding half a decade. Autopsy report confirmed receipt of as many as six entry wounds.
2. Heard. Record perused.
3. Argument regarding conflict between ocular account and medical evidence, seemingly otherwise beside the mark, cannot be attended within the barriers of tentative assessment, particularly in the face of reflections of inordinate absence from law. Ocular account, accompanied by medical evidence as well as investigative conclusions, constitute "reasonable grounds" within the contemplation of section 497 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898, standing in impediment to petitioner's release in the absence of any consideration calling for further probe. Impugned views being well within the bounds of law need no interference. Petition fails. Leave declined.
