ORDER

MUHAMMAD YAQUB ALI, C.J.-The petitioners have preferred an appeal in the High Court against their convictions and sentences to various terms of imprisonment under sections 148, 459, 366 and 323 read with section 149, P. P. C. Prayer for interim bail was refused by a learned Judge against which ‑‑, sick leave to appeal.

The petition has no merit whatever, for, unless we pre‑empt the subject matter of the appeal ,it will not be possible, to differ with the High Court in the matter of granting interim bail. As such a coarse is not feasible, the petition for leave to appal is manifestly misconceived and is dismissed. The petitioners however, apply to tare High Court early hearing of the appeal.

Petition dismissed.
