SAAD SAOOD JAN,J.--The petitioner together with one Faqeer Hussain was convicted of an offence under section 364, read with section 34, of the Pakistan Penal Code and sentenced to suffer imprisonment for life and to pay fine. He filed an appeal in the High Court against his conviction and sentence. He also applied for the suspension of the sentence during the pendency of the appeal but his prayer in this regard was rejected. He now seeks leave to appeal from this Court.

2. The High Court has written a detailed order in which reasons for rejecting the petitioner's prayer for suspension of sentence have been given. We can find no justification for interfering with the discretion exercised by the High Court. The petition is dismissed.
