ResultAppeal dismissed

' MAZHARUL HAQ, J.-- Irshad Ahmad (32) was tried and convicted for the offence under section 13/20/65 of the Arms Ordinance, by the Additional Sessions Judge, Sahiwal. He was sentenced to six months' R.I. Appeal of the convict is before us.

2. During the investigation of the murder case against the appellant and others Chhura P.1 was got recovered by the appellant on 30-9-1980 from the sugar-cane field in the area of Chak No,91/6-R, Sahiwal. Besides P.W.2. Farooq Ahmad, S.I., the recovery was attested by P.W.1 Muhammad Shafi and Atta Muhammad (given up as unnecessary). Irshad Ahmad denied guilt at the trial. According to him, the weapon was planted on him to strengthen the murder case against him. He led no evidence in defence.

3 We have gone through the evidence. P.W.1 Muhammad Shafi tried to make some concessions in favour of the accused but nearing the close of his cross-examination, he supported the recovery as he did in the examination-in-chief. The case is overwhelming against the appellant. This appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
