Irshad Ali Shah, J;  It is alleged that applicants with rest of the culprits after having formed an unlawful assembly in prosecution of their common objected, caused hatchet and lathi blows to complainant Irfan Ali and P.Ws Zamir Hussain, Javed Ali and Ali Murad with intention to commit their murder, for that the present case was registered against them.

2.                     The applicants on having been refused post-arrest bail by learned 4th Additional Sessions Judge Khairpur, the applicants have sought for the same from this Court by way of instant application u/s 497 Cr.P.C.

3.                     It is contended by learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants being innocent have been involved in this case falsely by the complainant party in order to satisfy their dispute with them over watercourse; there is delay of about 19 days in lodgment of FIR; there is counter version of the incident and co-accused Amjad and 05 others have already been admitted to bail by learned trial Court. By contending so, he sought for grant of bail for the applicants on point of further inquiry.

4.                     Learned DPG for the State who is assisted by the complainant has opposed to grant of bail to the applicants by contending that they have attributed specific role of causing hatchet blows to PW Zamir Hussain on his legs.

5.                     I have considered the above arguments and perused the record.

6.                     The FIR of the incident has been lodged with delay of about 20 days which has not been explained properly, same as such could not be lost sight of; the injuries sustained by PW Zamir Hussain which are attributed to the applicants are on non-vital part of his body; co-accused Amjad and 05 others have already been admitted to bail; there is counter version of the incident; parties are already disputed over watercourse. In that situation, it is rightly being contended by learned counsel for the applicants that the applicants are entitled to grant of bail on point of further inquiry.

7.                     In view of above, the applicants are admitted to bail subject to their furnishing surety in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Fifty thousand) each and PR bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of learned trial Court.

8.                     Instant Criminal Bail Application is disposed of in above terms.
