1. JUDGMENT SH. RIAZ AHMED, C.J.- We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length and have perused the judgment impugned. As regards merits of the case, we are not inclined to interfere therewith, because on that score the judgment impugned is unexceptionable, inasmuch as, the sentence already undergone by petitioner was considered adequate and appropriate to meet the ends of justice and the amount of 'Diyat' amounting to Rs. 2,60,000/- was maintained and it was allowed to be paid by the petitioner in three equal instalments. Leamed counsel submits that petitioner has served out the substantive sentence and only the amount of 'Diyat' remains to be paid by him. Lt is stated that petitioner is a poor person and cannot pay the amount 'Diyat' in three instalments. Taking a lenient view, we would modify the order of the High Court and direct that petitioner shall now pay the amount of 'Diyat' over a period of three years in equal monthly instalments.
