2. The occurrence had taken place on the same day i,e, 3-10-2002 at 9 a.m. According to the F.I.R.
Muhammad Mumtaz accused who was armed with a .12 bore gun had raised Lalkara and thereafter had fired a shot at the complainant with the intention to kill him and which hit on his right shin and he fell down. Thereafter, Mumtaz accused fled away towards his Dera while waiving his gun. In the F.I.R. a mention was also made of the motive incident.

Under the circumstances of the case and in the light of the authorities reported as Muhammad Arshad v. The State 1997 Crl.LJ 433 and Muhammad Riaz v. The State 2000 Cr.LJ 681, it is clearly a case of further enquiry and thus the petitioner is entitled to the concession of bail.
