KASHIF alias WAJID alias WAJU VS State S. 497(2)---Penal Code (XLV of 1860), S. 302(b)---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 185(3)---Murderous assault---Bail, grant of---Further inquiry---Prosecution case initially set up in the crime report by the deceased's nephew, was diametrically different from the version advanced by the deceased's daughter through her supplementary statement---Plea of deceased's daughter that she being a Pardanashin lady stayed away from the investigative process as well as evidentiary value of her supplementary statement to implicate the accused were issues that squarely brought accused's case within the purview of subsection (2) of section 497, Cr.P.C, and, thus, would best be settled after recording of evidence during the trial---Furthermore it would be unconscionable to keep the accused in custody, particularly when it was not serving any useful purpose, relative to the investigation---Petition for leave to appeal was converted into appeal and allowed; and the accused was released on bail.
