QAZI MUHAMMAD FAROOQ, J.---The respondent was convicted under section 302(b), P.P.C., for the murder of one Amjad Parvez and was sentenced to death by Ta'zir by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Gujranwala, vide judgment dated 162-1995. The appeal preferred by him was, however, partly accepted on 30-4-2001 by a learned Division Bench of the Lahore High. Court and the sentence of death was altered to imprisonment for life for the reason that "the incident took place as a result of impulsive action in the heat of passion upon a sudden quarrel".
2. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and going through the record we are satisfied that lesser sentence was awarded on correct premises. The petition is, therefore, dismissed and leave declined.
