ORDER

1. ' USMAN ALI SHAH, J.--This petition for leave to appeal is against the order of the Lahore High Court dated 15-8-1989, arising out a bail matter of Ghulam Akbar petitioner who alongwith Riaz Hussain was charged under section 307/34, P.P.C. For twice firing at Ghulam Shabbir and causing him a number of fire-arm injuries all over his body. The motive for the offence was to take revenge of Sohanra, father of the petitioner who was killed by Ghulam Shabbir the injured P.W. The petitioner was arrested on 19-5-1989 and a pistol with which he committed the offence was recovered from him. Application for bail of the petitioner was rejected by the Judicial Magistrate on 21-6-1989 and thereafter by the Addl. District Judge on 10-7-1989. His subsequent petition for bail before the High Court was also dismissed vide impugned order. We have heard the counsel for petitioner and have gone through findings of the Courts below. The petitioner is directly charged in the F.I.R. And after his arrest a pistol i,e. The weapon of offence with which he is stated to have effectively fired at Ghulam Shabbir, was recovered from him. The motive for the offence is also there. Under the circumstances we do not consider him as entitled to the grant of bail at this stage. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
