The compromise deed has been placed on the record. The injured P.Ws. Muhammad Habib, Muhammad Saeed and Ijaz are present in the Court. They own compromise with the petitioners. Learned counsel for the complainant supports the learned counsel for the petitioners. No one has appeared for the State.

Furthermore, the occurrence took place in the year 1980.

In the circumstances, I feel that the agony of protracted trial coupled with the imprisonment suffered by them as under-trial prisoner and as convicts would meet the case.
