2. The allegation against the present petitioners is that they along with other co-accused caused injuries to Ghulam Farid with daggers.

4. I have heard the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record.
The petitioners are behind the bars since their arrest A i,e, more than five months. No injury is attributed to petitioners Nos.1 and 2, however, the injury attributed to Shabbir/petitioner No,3 is on the non-vital part of Ghulam Farid victim. Co-accused namely Jaffar and Sona have already been granted bail by the trial Court who are attributed the similar role. The investigation of the case has not been completed so far.
