J.-The petitioners were granted leave to appeal on 20-3-1978, against the judgment of the Lahore High Court, Bahawalpur Circuit, by which the sentence of death of the appellants was altered to life imprisonment. Mr. Shahid Hussain Kadri learned counsel heard, in support of the Miscellaneous application seeking suspension of the petitioner-appellant's sentence and releasing them on bail. At this stage we are not inclined to release them on bail merely on the ground of delay in the disposal of the appeal, in view of the state of work obtaining in this Court. The application is rejected. However, efforts will be made for early disposal of the appeal.
