It is contended by learned counsel for Nazir Ahmad petitioner that petitioner did not cause any injury to the deceased, that simple injury under section 337-A(i), L-(ii) is attributed to the petitioner, that it will be seen at the time of trial that the petitioner was member of unlawful assembly that according to investigation, though petitioner was present at the place of occurrence but was empty-handed.

3. Learned counsel for Ramzan petitioner submits that according to report under section 173, Cr.P.C. though he was present at the spot but was empty-handed and he ran away from the spot; that no overt act is attributed to the petitioner and that case of petitioner is of further inquiry falling under subsection 2 of section 497, Cr.P.C.

The petitioners are named in the F.I.R. They were member of unlawful assembly. The complainant was injured during the occurrence and he was medically examined. As far as report under section 173, Cr.P.C. is concerned, petitioner Ramzan was present at the spot and was empty-handed, this finding is not binding upon this Court. The offence falls within the prohibitory clause of section 497(1), Cr.P.C. No case for bail is made out. Both these petitions stand dismissed.
