Judgment Text

Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Sajjad Ahmad Jan, Muhammad Yaqub Ali Khan Title: BAGH ALI AND 3 Others vs The STATE Case No.: Petition for Special Leave to Appeal No. 188 of 1969 Cr. Misc. No. 750 of 1969 Date of Judgment:1969-10-27 Reported As: 1970 SCMR 291 Result: Leave refused Judgment ORDER MUHAMMAD YAQUB ALI, J.-A revision petition filed by the petitioners against their conviction and sentences of four years' rigorous imprisonment each under section 307, P. P. C. Has been admitted by the High Court, but the prayer for interim bail refused from which they seek leave to appeal. The petition is ill-conceived. So long as their convictions stand the petitioners can make no lawful grievance of their detention in jail. The grant of bail, at this stage, would, therefore, be inappropriate. It is contended that in view of the accumulation of heavy arrears in the High Court the revision petition is not likely to be heard at an early date. In that case the petitioners should repeat their prayer for bail before, the High Court if inordinate delay takes place in the hearing of the revision petition. The petition is dismissed.
