ORDER

ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J .--This order will dispose of CrI.PSLA No.36 of 1987 and Jail Petition No. 8-R of 198?, as both are directed by the same party against the same judgment of the High Court dated 17-1-1987 dismissing his appeal in a case under section 302, PPC.

2. The petitioner was tried for and convicted under section 302, PPC for the murder of Muhammad Rafiq. His appeal before the High Court failed.

Hence the present petition for leave to appeal.

3. Before us the learned counsel for the petitioner did not argue the case on merits but only prayed for reduction in sentence of the petitioner from death to imprisonment for life.'

4. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner at length in support of this plea. He has not been able to show any mitigating circumstance entitling the petitioner to the lesser sentence under section 302, P.P.C. Both the petitions are therefore dismissed as having no merit.

M.I . /I-23/S Petition dismissed.
