ORDER

' ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.--Petitioner seeks leave to appeal against the judgment of the High Court dated 9-6-1987 altering respondents' conviction from section 302/34, P.P.C. To one under section 304-I, P.P.C. Read with section 34, P.P.C., and reducing their sentences from imprisonment for life to 7 years' R.I.

' The reason for altering the conviction of the respondents was that the High Court accepted the defence version given by the accused-respondents.

2. We have gone through the impugned judgment and heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length. He has taken us through the defence version and the relevant portions of the impugned judgment. We are in respectful agreement with the view taken by the High Court and feel that the High Court has rightly accepted the defence version.

' We do not, therefore, consider it a fit case for grant of leave. The petition is consequently dismissed.
