Judgment ORDER AMER RAZA NAQVI, J.---Applicant has been produced from Jail as he is detained in some other case. As observed in order dated 22-10-2014 this revision was filed against the order dated 20-9- 2012 passed by learned Sessions Judge, Malir Karachi in Criminal Appeal No.3 of 2012. The appeal was disposed of by the learned Sessions Judge for the reason that applicant/appellant in that case already served out the sentence awarded to him 'by the trial Court. In my humble opinion even after serving the sentence appeal cannot be disposed of on this ground, it should have been proceeded and decided on merits. Learned Assistant Prosecutor-General also submits that learned Sessions Judge should have proceeded with the appeal on merits. Accordingly order impugned is set aside. Case is remanded back to the learned Sessions Judge, Malir, Karachi to decide Criminal Appeal No.3 of 2012 afresh on merits in accordance with law. This Revision Application stands disposed of.
