' MANZOOR HUSSAIN SIAL, J.---By this order we propose to dispose of Jail Petition No,62 of 1993 and Criminal Petition No,230-L of 1993, as both these petitions are directed against consolidated judgment dated 27-10-1992, of the Lahore High Court, passed in Criminal Appeal No,447/1990 and Criminal Revision No,411 of 1990.
JAIL PETITION NO.62 of 1993
2. ' Muhammad Arshad convict through this petition seeks leave to appeal against judgment dated 27-10-1992, of the Lahore High Court, whereby his conviction under section 302, P.P.C. Was maintained and the sentence of death imposed upon him by the learned trial Judge was altered to imprisonment for life. We have perused the evidence on the record and find that the ocular evidence furnished by Bashir Ahmad complainant, and Manzoor Ahmad P.W.7 was consistent on all material points. The P.Ws. Closely related to the convict and they had no previous enmity or motive to falsely implicate him in a case entailing capital punishment. The learned High Court had already taken lenient view in altering the sentence of death to imprisonment for life. We, therefore, find no valid ground to interfere in the impugned judgment of the Lahore High Court. This petition has no merit, it is accordingly dismissed and leave refused.
