ORDER

ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.--This order will dispose of (1) Criminal Petition No.274/85 filed by namely,

(i) Khaki Jan and (11) Fazal-ur---Rehman against their conviction and sentence under section 302, P.P.C., and (2) Criminal Petition No.55-R of 1985, filed by Muhammad Razzaq, Complainant, for the enhancement of the sentence awarded to the accused /respondents i.e. Khaki Jan and Fazalur Rehman, for the murder of Iftikhar Ahmad (deceased) from imprisonment for life to one of death.

2. We have neard the learned counsel for the petitioners in each of the aforementioned petitions.

The contention raised by' the learned counsel for the accused /convicts (petitioners in Cr. P.274/85) only amount to a prayer for reappraisal of evidence. After going through the impugned judgment we do not consider it a proper case for purpose. The said petition is, therefore, dismissed.

3. As far as Cr. Petition No.53-R of 1985 filed by the Complainant, for the enhancement of the sentence of the accused/respondents, is concerned, after hearing learned counsel for the parties and having gone through the relevant portions of the impugned judgment we find that the reasons recorded by the High Court for awarding the, respondents, the lesser sentences of imprisonment for life, are sound and valid. We do not, therefore, consider it to be a fit case for interference.

Consequently this Petition (Cr.P.No.53-R of 1985) is also dismissed as being without any merits. ' revisions by the competent authorities. Therefore, it is advisable to consult the official sources or legal professionals for the most up-to-date and accurate information.
