ORDER

1. RASHID-AZIZ KHAN, J. - Muhammad Usman alias Chan Mahi had got a case registered against the respondents and others wit! Police Station Basirpur, District Okara vide FIR No.393 dated 5.10.1994 for offences under Sections 302,148,149 PPC. Petitioner seeks cancellation of to the respondents by the trial Court on 11.2.1997. Cancellation of bail is being sought solely on the ground that the trial Court had erred by holding that it has been more than two years yet the trial has not concluded, whereas in fact the accused had been obtaining adjournments on one pretext or the other.

2. 2 I have gone through the order sheets with the help of the learned counsel for the parties. The accused persons had obtained adjournments on two occasions. The other adjournments were allowed when either the trial Co rt was not holding the Court or the counsel for the accused wanted to cross examine all the eye-witnesses on one date. I am informed that all the eye-v witnesses have been cross-examined. Since the trial is near completion, therefore, I do not feel it would be fit stage where bail should be cancelled. In these circumstances, while disposing the petition for cancellation of bail, the trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within three months without fail.

3. In case the trial Court feels that the respondents are trying to cause delay in conclusion of the trial, the Court shall cancel their bails. Compliance report shall be submitted to this Court through Deputy Registrar (Judicial) of this Court.
