(8)All sentenced under section 323/149, P.P.C. To 2 years' R.I. And a fine of Rs.200 or in default 2 months' R.I. For injuring Mat. Sabi. Their appeal before the High Court failed. Hence the present petitions for leave to appeal. 2. The prosecution case is based only on the evidence of 3 injured eye-witnesses namely (1) Mat. Rehmi (P.W.9); (2) Mst. Muradan (P.W.10) and (3) Dilmir (P.W.11); medical evidence and the evidence of motive. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners only seeks reappraisal of evidence on the record. After considering the facts and circumstances of this case we do not consider it a fit case for reappraisal of evidence. The three petitions are, therefore, dismissed.
