ResultBail allowed

' The petitioner was refused bail by the learned trial Court as well as the Lahore High Court through the impugned order in a case registered through F.I.R. No. 172, dated 11-4-1999 under sections 148/364/302/149, P.P.C. Hence this petition for grant of bail.

2. The accusations against the petitioner in the F.I.R. Are that he raised only a Lalkara to the effect that the enemy had come and on that Lalkara other accused attacked the complainant side. The contents of the F.I.R. Show that the accused was empty-handed and has not played any active/overt act in the commission of the offence. It would be for the trial Court to examine the evidence and determine the effect of the Lalkara raised by the petitioner. At this stage, we feel that prima facie, a case for grant of bail has been made out. Consequently, this petition is converted into appeal and while accepting the appeal, the petitioner is, allowed bail in the sum of Rs.1,00,000 (Rupees One Lac only) with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Area//Duty Magistrate or the trial Court.
