ORDER

The petitioner has been arrested under section 302/304/109, P. P. C . He has petitioned for being released on bail.

Iftikharul Haque had intimidated Ghulam Qadir the father‑in‑law of complainant that he should withdraw the case otherwise he would kill him. On the night intervening 11/12 December, 1986 when all the inmates of the house were asleep, Iftikharul Haque sneaked his entry into their house and fired with his gun which did not hit any one. The complainant held the legs of Iftikharul Haque and both of them grappled with each other. Iftikharul Haque was over‑powered and he tried to give a churri blow to the complainant's wife but the churri was also snatched from him. Iftikharul Haque was injured by the complainant, who died at about 1‑00 p.m. The part attributed to Shaukat Ali petitioner is that he had guarded the dead body of Iftikharul Haque. No overt act has been assigned to him. I, therefore, allow bail to the petitioner in the sum of Rs.5,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the A .
