Petitioner: GHULAM MUHAMMAD MEMON And Another VS Respondent: THE STATE And Another
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Abdul Qadir Sheikh, S. A. Nusrat Title: GHULAM MUHAMMAD MEMON And Another vs THE STATE And Another Case No.:Criminal Appeal No. 133 of 1984 Petition for Leave to Appeal Nos. 45-K and
51-K of 1985 C.C. No. 1/85 Appeal No. 51-K of 1985 Date of Judgment:1988-03-03 Reported As: 1986 SCMR 1676 Result: Leave granted Judgment ORDER ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.--In both these petitions leave is sought from the same judgment of a Division Bench of Sind High Court, dated 25-8-1985 by which the appeal of Asad Mujtaba petitioner in Civil Petition for Leave No. 51-K of 1985 and respondent No. 2 in Criminal Petition for Leave No. 45 of 1985 against his conviction under section 302, P.P.C. Was partly allowed in that while maintaining the conviction under section 302, P.P.C. The sentence awarded to him was reduced to one imprisonment for life. After having gone through the record of the case in the light of arguments addressed by the learned counsel for the parties we feel that the question whether the impugned judgment of the High Court is based on correct principles of criminal justice deserves consideration. We, therefore, grant leave in these both cases and allow the petitions. Appeals arising out of these petitions will be heard together.
