GHULAM NABI Versus STATE

The facts giving rise to this revision are that Ghulam Nabi petitioner was tried by Magistrate Section 30, Faisalabad under section 307/452/34, P.P.C. The allegations were that the petitioner and others after having made preparation to cause hurt launched murderous assault on Mst. Shamim Akhtar and Mst. Rashidan P.Ws. On the conclusion of the trial, while acquitting the co-accused the learned Magistrate convicted Ghulam Nabi petitioner under section 324, P.P.C. and sentenced him to six months R.I. and a fine of Rs. 500 in default thereof two months R.I. His appeal failed on 13-11-1984, hence this revision.

2. On 11-12-1984, I admitted the petition to regular hearing on the question of sentence only. No one has appeared for the State to oppose this revision.

3. In view of the circumstances of the case and the nature of injuries caused by the petitioner, I feel inclined to reduce the sentence of six months, R.I. to three months, R.I. The fine of Rs. 500 and imprisonment in default thereof is maintained. With this reduction in the sentence, the revision is disposed of.
