MUHAMMAD AFZAL ZULLAH, J.--Leave to appeal has been sought from judgment dated 10-11-1985 of the Lahore High Court; whereby in a case of murder, Zafar Ullah Khan respondent was allowed bail before arrest.
2. The case of murder was initially instituted against seven persons. The majority of them were not attributed any specific role in so far as the physical injuries to the victims are concerned.
Accordingly, in this category the respondent was allowed bail before arrest and some others were allowed bail after arrest. The petitioner has chosen not to challenge the grant of bail after arrest to the other persons falling in the same category to which the respondent belongs. The distinction made according to the learned counsel, is based on the fact that he has been allowed bail before arrest.
3. After hearing the learned counsel we feel that prima facie, at this stage, the case of the petitioner is not distinguishable from that of others to whom bail has been allowed. No useful purpose would be served if the bail of Zafar Ullah Khan respondent is cancelled on any technical ground because after arrest he would again be allowed bail on the ground that similarly placed other accused are already on bail. We, therefore, in the circumstances of this case, do not consider it a fit case for grant of leave to appeal. This petition accordingly, is dismissed.
