SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the order dated 12-5-1987 of the Lahore High Court rejecting the prayer of the petitioners for bail before arrest.
2. By a detailed order in Crl. P.S.L.A. No.145 of of 1987 which was converted into appeal, Muhammad Amin, a co-accused, was admitted to pre-arrest bail by this Court. The learned Assistant Advocate --General does not dispute that the case of the petitioners is at par with that of Muhammad Amin at the present stage of investigations. We would therefore convert this petition into appeal and admit the petitioners to pre-arrest bail on their furnishing bonds in the sum of Rs.25,000 each with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Sessions Judge, Sahiwal. We may however add that if during the course of investigations evidence becomes available which prima facie indicates that any of the petitioners is guilty of an offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life or rigorous imprisonment up to ten years it will be open to the investigating agency to apply for the cancellation of his bail. The petitioners shall join the investigations. With these observations the appeal is disposed of.
