2. ' The contentions of the learned counsel arc borne out from the record. The learned State counsel has not been able to, challenge them. The only argument advanced by the learned State counsel is that a co-accused of the petitioners have been issued notice for enhancement of the sentence from imprisonment for life to death.
3. In our view mere fact that notice has been issued to a co-accused of the petitioners for enhancement of the sentence is no ground to refuse the prayer as already a period of two years has passed and there is no possibility of their appeal coming up in the near future. The fact is also admitted that none of them had caused any injury to the deceased. This petition is, therefore, allowed. The sentence of the petitioners shall be suspended and they shall be released on bail on their furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs,20,000 each-with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner, Faisalabad:
