Ghulam Fatima. The petitioner was arrested. Hence this petition. Wazier and. Hafiz Yasin accused were allowed bail by the trial Judge.
2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. According to the F.I.R. Ghulam Muhammad petitioner caused one hatchet blow on the head of Khair Muhammad deceased from its wrong side but a perusal of the certified copies of the post-mortem report indicates that Khair Muhammad deceased did not receive any injury with blunt weapon. The medical officer noted 5 injuries on the dead body. All these have been caused by a sharp-edged weapon. In view of this conflict in the F.I.R. And the post-mortem report I find the case of Ghulam Muhammad petitioner to be that of further inquiry. He is allowed bail on his furnishing of bail bond in the sum of Rs.20,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of A.C/Duty Magistrate, Jampur.
