RASHID AZIZ KHAN, J.- Petitioners seek bail in a case registered with Police Station Mandi Bahauddin, District Gujrat, for an offence under sections 324, 337/ALFI-4-6, 379, 148/149 PPC, vide FIR dated 11-2- 1993. The case was got registered by Muhammad Abbas with the allegation that on 11-2-1993, he went to the house of one Ghulam Haider. After seeing him he was coming back to his house. When he reached near the village petitioners armed came and attacked on him. Mian khan fired his gun hitting on his right flank and left leg. It was followed by other who gave dang blow on his leg. Mian Khan fired hitting on his head. The commotion attracted different people whereupon the assailants ran away.
It was contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are behind the bars for the past 14/15 months, yet no progress in the trial has taken place. Submitted that the injuries attributed to the petitioners were on non- vital part of the body. The occurrence had taken place on account of sudden provocation. Argued that the occurrence had taken place inside the house of the petitioners, therefore, they had the right of self-defence. Argued that medico legal report is conflict with the ocular account.
2. I have heard the learned counsel at length and gone through the i.e. Petitioners had moved an application earlier which was dismissed on merits. No new ground except that petitioners are in jail for the past 14/15 months has been taken. As far as the delay in the conclusion of the trial is concerned, I feel it will suffice if a direction to the learned trial Court is given to conclude the trial without fail, within six months. With this observation petition is disposed of.
