Ichhra, Lahore on 12-12-1986 on the allegation that four kilos of heroin was recovered from his possession. He was initially tried by judicial Magistrate, Lahore and the trial had almost concluded when the learned Magistrate sent the case to the Court of Sessions for trial where it is to start afresh. 2. Bail is sought on the statutory ground. It is stated that ever since 12-12--1986 he had been regularly appearing before the Court and did not obtain even a single adjournment. He is said to be a first offender. 3. There is no material on record to show that he is hardened, dangerous or desperate criminal. Since his trial has not come to an end within the statutory period and there is likely hood of further delay in its conclusion. I admit him to bail in the sum of Rs.25,00,000 (twenty five lac) with four sureties to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court. The Court is directed to see that the sureties are men of means with good credentials preferably belonging to Lahore. SA./S-539/L
