Petitioner: MUHAMMAD SALIM VS Respondent: THE STATE
Court Name: Lahore High Court Judge(s): Muhammad Munir Khan Title: MUHAMMAD SALIM vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Revision No,6 of 1985 Date of Judgment:1985-01-22 Reported As: 1985 P Cr. L J 1259 Result: Order accordingly
Judgment ORDER ' The facts giving rise to this revision are that Muhammad Salim petitioner was tried under section 13 of the Arms Ordinance, 1965 by Magistrate 1st Class, Narowal. On the conclusion of the trial, the petitioner was convicted and sentenced to 2 years' R.I. His appeal failed on 4-11-1984, hence this revision. 2. On 19-1-1985, after hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I had admitted the petition on the question of sentence alone. Today the learned counsel requested that the order to the extent of confiscation of gun be also set aside. In the circumstances of the case and the fact that the petitioner is not a previous convict, I feel inclined to reduce the sentence from 2 years to one year's R.I. As far the confiscation of gun, since admittedly the petitioner was not holding any licence for keeping that, therefore, I do not desire to interfere with the discretion exercised by the trial Court. The revision is disposed of accordingly.
