SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--This is a petition for special leave to appeal against the order dated 19-1- 1987 of the Lahore High Court whereby respondents Nos. 1 to 3 were directed to be admitted to anticipatory bail.

2. The allegations against respondents Nos. 1 to 3 are that they committed an offence under section 379 of the Pakistan Penal Code by committing theft of crop worth Rs.86,800. It is not disputed that the crop was sown by respondents Nos. l to 3 themselves. In the circumstances a serious question at the trial would arise whether they could be charged with the offence of theft for removing the crop sown by themselves. We, therefore, do not think that this a fit case for interference by this Court. This petition is accordingly dismissed.
