Judgment ORDER ' GHULAM MUJADDID, J.---There is hardly any merit in this petition for leave to appeal against the order of the Lahore High Court dated 30-9-1989 whereby the revision filed by the petitioner was- dismissed. ' The petitioner was tried and convicted under section 354, P.P.C. He was sentenced to one year R.I. And line of Rs,2,000, or in default three months S.I., which was upheld in appeal as well as in revision. ' On 29-8-1987 at 8 a.m., when Mst.Zahida Parveen was on her own, the petitioner while armed with knife trespassed into her house and threatened her to outrage her modesty. He caught hold of her breast and started kissing the girl. It was on the intervention of Faryad Ali and others that the girl was saved from further damage. Prosecution proved its case beyond any shadow of doubt. ' Learned counsel was unable to advance any effective argument as to why the evidence of Faryad Ali is to be rejected especially when the witness was independent and had no animus to falsely depose against the petitioner. ' Not a fit case for leave to appeal. Dismissed.
