1. ' ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.-- The applicants-accused were tried and convicted for offence under section 302/323/34, P.P.C. They were, however, acquitted by the High Court. The complainant filed a petition for leave to appeal against their acquittal and leave was granted by this Court on 8-2- 1982. Non-bailable warrants for their arrest were issued and they were arrested soon thereafter.
2. Now that a period of 2 years has passed and their appeal has not yet come up for hearing, they have applied for grant of bail. We feel that 2 years' delay in the disposal of the appeal entitles them to grant of bail. They are, therefore, granted bail in the sum of Rs,20,000 each, with two sureties each, each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner, Khushab.
