Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Mansoor Awan VS State S. 497(2)---Penal Code (XLV of 1860), Ss. 302(b), 120-B, 109, 147, 148, 149 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, criminal conspiracy, abetment, rioting, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly, common intention---Bail, grant of---Further inquiry---Accused-petitioners were charged for committing murder of the cousin of complainant with sharp edged weapons---Petitioner "DR" was alleged to have been present at the scene of the crime while armed with a pistol---However, it was an admitted fact, supported by the post-mortem report, that the deceased suffered no firearm injuries---Cause of death was incised wounds from a sharp weapon---Role attributed to "DR" was therefore distinguishable from that of the principal accused who were alleged to have inflicted the fatal blows---While presence of "DR" at the scene was a serious matter, the fact that he did not use his weapon and played no part in the fatal assault made his case one of further inquiry to determine the extent of his liability and the existence of a common intention---Prohibitory clause of S.497, Cr.P.C. was not an absolute bar to the grant of bail, especially when the case of an accused person required further inquiry---Bail application was allowed, in circumstances.
