SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--This is a petition for special leave to appeal from the judgment dated 15-2- 1987 of the Lahore High Court whereby the constitutional petition of the petitioner was dismissed.
2. The question raised in this petition is whether a convict under a sentence of death can be placed by the jail authorities in a condemned prisoner cell before his sentence has been confirmed and before his appeal against his conviction and sentence has been disposed of. This question has been raised with reference to two persons. They were tried together with a number of other persons on a number of charges including two counts under section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code. One of them was sentenced to death by the trial Court. His sentence was confirmed by the High Court. The other was sentenced to imprisonment for life by the trial Court but the High Court enhanced his sentence to death. The appeals of both persons against their convictions and sentences were dismissed by this Court. That being so, their confinement in the condemned prisoners cells at present is not open to any objection. In the circumstances this is not a fit case where the question now being raised need to be answered. The petition in accordingly dismissed M.I./M-115/SPetition dismissed 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.
