ORDER

' ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J.--This petition for leave to appeal arises from the order of a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court, Rawalpindi Bench, dated 15-4-1989.

2. The petitioner was charged under section 302 P.P.C. For the murder of Ghulam Shah. He was tried by the Sessions Judge, Attock, who vide his order dated 26-2-1981, convicted him under section 304 Part II P.P.C, and sentenced him to seven years' R.I. And a fine of Rs, 2,000 or in default to six months' further R.I. The fine on realization was ordered to be paid to the heirs of the deceased. The benefit of the provision of section 382-B Cr.P.C. Was also allowed to him. In the High Court, on appeal by the petitioner his conviction and sentence was maintained as per order dated 15-4-1989.

3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the impugned ordeRs, We, however, do not find any substance in the petition inasmuch as no question of law of public importance has been raised therein. All that the learned counsel for the petitioner wants is to reappraise the evidence which, in the circumstances of the case, we decline to undertake.

4. The petition is thus dismissed.
