                  This order will dispose off the above titled post arrest bail petition of  the accused /petitioner  in the above noted case.
2.                Brief facts  as alleged in the FIR lodged at the instance of complainant are that wall of this house is adjacent to the house of accused. That there is a dispute over wall between the parties which was constructed by bother of complainant.  That on -.-.2014 at 07:00 PM, the complainant and his family were in their house when the accused having Churra(s) arrived  and raised Lalkara let complainant  be given taste for demanding share of wall. Accused  made Churri blows on different parts of body of complainant. When the complainant intervened, co-accused  also made churri blows on complainant and then co-accused  made three churri blows  on injured lying on ground. Present petitioner and co-accused were catching the complainant and his brother in the meanwhile injured succumbed  to injuries in the hospital where the complainant was also injured ruthlessly. 
3                           Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is 86 years old. That motive is not attributed to petitioner. There is joint allegation against three persons of catching hold of two persons. That co-accused with similar role were declared innocent by police. Any injury or blow is not attributed to petitioner.  Reliance is placed on   1999 P Cr.LJ 941, 2006 P Cr.LJ 97,  1999 P Cr.LJ 1874, 2000 SCMR 107, 1998  P Cr.LJ 9682007 MLD 1279. 
4.                   Learned counsel for the complainant submitted  that petitioner is grandfather of deceased as well as injured person. That on instigation of petitioner, an unlawfully assembly was constituted by petitioner and others.  That though the petitioner is an old man but he has a good physique. That remaining accused are to be arrested. That investigation is not complete. That application of the complainant against Investigating Officer is pending before the CPO. Reliance is placed on 1998 LJ 351,  2008 P Cr.LJ 1555,  2000 P Cr.LJ 145, 2004 P Cr.LJ 1671.        
6.                 Learned DDPP   also opposed the bail Petition.
7.                  I have heard the arguments and perused the record.
8.                As per FIR, there is joint allegation against petitioner and two others that they were catching hold of complainant and his brother but it is not clear which person was caught hold by petitioner. As per National Identity Card of petitioner copy whereof is filed today, petitioner was born in the year 1928 and he is 86 years old,  which is not denied by the prosecution and complainant. Such an old age makes the role attributed to petitioner doubtful. The motive is attributed to co-accused and not to petitioner. There is nothing on record to establish instigation or commanding position of petitioner. Any injury or blow  is not attributed to petitioner. At this stage, petitioner is not reasonably  connected with the offence rather further inquiry into his guilt is required. Therefore, petition is accepted   subject to furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.100000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of this court. File be consigned to the record room after its due completion.
