2. We first take up Criminal Petition No. 272 of 1983 filed by Noor Muhammad whereby the learned High Court dismissed his criminal revision and inter alia altered conviction of Muhammad Iqbal respondent from 302, P.P.C. To 304-I, P.P.C. Reducing his sentence to 10 years' R.I.
3. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the impugned judgment.
Considering all the facts of the case and the reasons recorded by the learned High Court for alteration of respondents' conviction and reduction of his sentence in the light of the contentions raised by the petitioners' counsel, we find ourselves in respectful agreement with the view taken by it. We, therefore, do not consider it a fit case for interference by this Court. The petition (Criminal Petition No. 272 of 1983), is consequently dismissed.
4. Kh. Sultan Ahmad who is counsel for the petitioners in the remaining two petitions (Criminal Petition No. 281 of 1983 and Criminal Petition No. 282 of 1983) does not press the said petitions. The same are, therefore, dismissed as not pressed.
