Court Name: Lahore High Court Judge(s): Muhammad Munir Khan Title: MUHAMMAD IFTIKHAR vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Appeal No.994 of 1980 Date of Judgment:1991-04-24 Reported As: 1991 P Cr. L J 2069 Result: Appeal dismissed
JUDGMENT
JUDGMENT Muhammad Iftikhar appellant, was tried by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Sargodha, under section 20 of the Offences Against Property Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979. He was convicted under this section and sentenced to ten years' R.I. And a fine of Rs.500 or in default thereof six months' R.I. On 12-7-1980. Feeling aggrieved thereby he has filed the present appeal. 2. I am afraid, under Article 203-DD of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973. After 27th May, 1980, the appeal against the orders passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judges/Sessions Judges in Hudood Ordinance cases lies before the Federal Shariat Court and not before this Court. So the present appeal, which was filed on 26-8-1980 against an order passed in Hudood case on 12-7-1980 is not entertainable by this Court. It is, therefore, disposed of as not `maintainable'. 3. The appellant has been released on bail by this Court. The trial Court will issue warrants for the arrest of Muhammad Iftikhar appellant and will send him to jail to reserve the remaining sentence.
