ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.--Tufail Baig and Khadum Hussain petitioners were tried and convicted under section 302, P.P.C. And sentenced to imprisonment for life and a fine of Rs.3,000 each. Their appeal before the High Court failed. Therefore, they have filed the present petition (Criminal Petition No. 276 of 1983) for leave to appeal against their conviction and sentence.
2. They have now filed an application for grant of bail during the pendency of the main petition.
3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. He argued that the petitioners have a very good case on merits and shall subsequently be acquitted. He attempted to argue the main case on merits but it was pointed out that two Courts below have already found the petitioners guilty of murder and this is, therefore, got a fit case to reappraise the evidence at this stage and that he can urge the contentions on merit at the time of hearing of the main petition.
No case is made out for grant of bail in the face of conviction under section 302, P.P.C. Which has been upheld by the High Court.
The bail application is, therefore, dismissed.
