' SALEEM AKHTAR, J.---The petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the order of the learned Judge in Chambers of the High Court whereby petition for bail was dismissed in limine.
2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner by order dated 18-8-1993 notice was issued to the State. It was taken note of the fact that a period of eight months had elapsed, but no proceedings in the matter have taken place. On 21-8-1993 the following order was passed:- "Not a single witness has been examined during the last six months.
