ORDER

1. ' GHULAM MUJADDID, J.--The petitioner is aggrieved by the judgment of the Lahore High Court dated the 7th March, 1987. The High Court on appeal by the respondents declined to uphold the conviction and sentence awarded by the trial Court and acquitted them.

2. ' Learned counsel appearing in support of this petition submitted that the judgment of the High Court resulted in miscarriage of justice. The acquittal of the respondents was not justified in law.

3. The submission has no force because the High Court after scanning through the entire evidence observed that "in the present case, the testimonies of Mst. Bakht Khatun and Muhammad Nawaz Khan have not been corroborated by any such evidence. The recoveries, as already held, in this case are of no consequence and they are in no manner connected with the crime."

4. ' The judgment of the High Court being in accord with law and the principles governing the safe administration of criminal justice calls for no interference. Dismissed.
