Judgment ORDER ' ALI HUSSAIN QAZILBASH, J.--This is a petition for leave to appeal against the order of a learned Single Judge of the Lahore High Court dated 2-7-1988. 2. The petitioner was charged under section 39-A of the Electricity Act, 1910. He was tried by the Senior Special Magistrate, WAPDA, Lahore, and was convicted thereunder and sentenced to three years' R. I. Vide judgment dated 4-10-1987. The appeal of the petitioner was partly allowed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Lahore, by his order dated 9-6-1988 in that his conviction under section 39-A was maintained but his sentence was reduced to two years' R.I. And a fine of Rs,5,000 was imposed upon him. His revision before the High Court was dismissed on 2-7-1988 in limine. 3. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the judgments of the Courts below. As the record stands, we think the prosecution has been able to prove its case on factual grounds against the petitioner by producing independent witnesses. On legal aspect too no case has been made out. His conviction and sentence is well-found and it needs no I interference. The petition is thus dismissed,
