' On 23-4-1999 the learned High Court while disposing of the appeal of the petitioner passed the following orders:-- ' ...Keeping in view all the above situation of the present case the sentence which the appellant has already undergone is treated to be sufficient in the circumstances of the case and also in the interest of justice. However, the amount of `Diyat' is' maintained. Appellant is directed to pay the `Diyat' amount either in lump sum or in three equal instalments and the first instatment he would pay on 24-5-1999 before the learned trial Court and the other two instalments would be paid after three months each. In case he fails to pay the first instalment, he will be taken into custody and would undergo simple imprisonment in the Jail till he pays the same. With these observations, this appeal stands disposed of."
