1. Cr Ps. Nos 272 & 273 of 1988 NASIM HASAN SHAH, J: --This order will dispose of the above two petitions as they are interconnected.
2. Both these petitions are directed against the order of acquittal, passed by the High Court, of Abid Hussain, Riaz Hussain and Mst. Halima wife of Talib Hussain (respondents Nos.2 to 4 herein) and for enhancement in the sentence of Talib Hussain to death, who was convicted under section 302, P.P.C. But sentenced to life imprisonment.
3. Both these petitions are barred by 31 days.
4. We have carefully perused the petition for condonation of delay and find that no reasonable grounds exist for condonation of delay which may induce us to entertain these petitions which seek reversal of an order of acquittal and enhancement in the matter of sentence.
5. These petitions, accordingly, must fail and are dismissed hereby.
6. J.P.No.57-R of 1988 The petitioner stands convicted under section 302, P.P.C. And sentenced to life imprisonment. He has challenged his conviction and sentence through this petition filed from Jail.
7. We have perused the judgment of the High Court as also the grounds of appeal submitted by the petitioner through Jail in support of his appeal.
8. We consider that the conviction recorded by the High Court is not only fully justified but feel that the High Court by imposing the lesser sentence has already dealt with the case of the petitioner quite leniently.
