Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Falak Sher, Hamid Ali Mirza Title: AZHAR IQBAL and others vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Review Petition No,14-L of 2003 Date of Judgment:2004-07-06 Reported As: 2005 SCMR 1497 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER ' HAMID ALI MIRZA, J.--- Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record. 2. This review petition is barred by 130 days for which an application for condonation of delay has been filed wherein in paras.1 to 5 he has stated the grounds for condoning the delay stating that there were efforts for compromise between the parties and there was still hope that the compromise could take place between the parties and facing this situation, the delay in filing of review petition has occurred due to optimum hope of the compromise which is normally expected when a person is awarded capital punishment. We do not consider it as a sufficient cause for examining the review on merits considering the fact that this very plea could be agitated by the petitioner which has been made as one of the ground for review before the trial Court as provided under section 338-E, P.P.C., read with section 345, Cr.P.C., which Court could permit the compounding of offence between the petitioner and L.Rs, of the deceased in accordance with law. In the circumstances, finding petition barred by time and no case for review, the same is dismissed.
