1. ' ZAFFAR HUSSAIN MIRZA, J.---This is a petition by Nehar Khan complainant for leave to appeal against judgment dated 6th April, 1988, whereby a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court dismissed his revision petition assailing the order of the learned trial Court, in the murder case of his son, in which respondent Shaukat Ali was found guilty under section 302, P.P.C.But was awarded the lesser penalty of life imprisonment. The appeal of respondent Shaukat Ali against his conviction and sentence was separately dismissed by a Division Bench of the same High Court vide judgment dated 6th April, 1988, in which the learned Judges had considered the question of sentence and agreed with the view of a trial Court and held that as it was not clear from the evidence what transpired immediately before the commission of the crime, which was shrouded in mystery, the trial Court rightly declined to impose the extreme penalty of death, because there was possibility of some provocation to the respondent which could not be ruled out.
2. ' In the impugned judgment also the same reason was reiterated by the learned Single Judge which was found justified on the record of the evidence.
3. We have heard the learned counsel and he has not been able to point out anything in the evidence on record to the contrary indicating that the conclusion arrived at by the learned Judge was not justified. Learned Judge proceeded on the basis of settled principles of law in rejecting the revision petition of the petitioner.
4. ' We, therefore, find no substance in this petition which is accordingly dismissed.
