(3.)Learned advocate Mr. Shakeel A. Qureshi for the applicant submits that the order of granting bail is required to be set aside on merits as while allowing the application, the learned Sessions Judge has taken into consideration the role attributed to the accused persons in the commission of the offence. He also submits that the brother of the deceased had filed detailed affidavit before the Sessions Court, opposing the grant of bail. However, the learned Sessions Judge has even referred to such affidavit and therefore, the order of the learned Sessions Judge is vulnerable.
