' The petitioners, who along with others, are involved in a case under section 302/324/148/149, P.P.C.

Arising out of F.I.R. No, 130/92, dated 13-12-1992, registered at Police Station Kot Nainan, seek to be admitted to bail.

2. As per F.I.R. The petitioners, are alleged to have raised Lalkara whereas their co-accused Munir Khan fired at the complainant which hit him on his right thigh.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners seeks bail on the ground that Rafiq Khan, who has been assigned the same role, as has been assigned to the petitioners, has since been released on bail by the august Supreme Court vide order dated 21st March, 1994, passed in Criminal Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No,29-L of 1994, so the petitioners are also entitled to the grant of bail on the principle of consistency in law, as the case against them is one of further inquiry.

4. The learned counsel for the State, on instructions from the Police Officer, has half-heartedly opposed this application in view of the Supreme Court's order referred to above.

5. As the allegation against Rafiq Khan is that he along with the present petitioners raised Lalkara while armed with Sota and the case against him is one of further inquiry, so respectfully following the same observation of learned Judges of the august Supreme Court, the petitioners are admitted to bait in the sum of Rs,50,000 (fifty thousand only) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the A.C., Narowal.
