Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Nasim Hasan Shah, Muhammad Afzal Zullah, Aslam Riaz Hussain Title: GUL MUHAMMAD And Others vs The STATE Case No.: Criminal Appeal No. 167 of 1978 Criminal Appeal No. 172 of 1976 Date of Judgment:1986-06-06 Reported As: 1986 SCMR 1819 Result: Order accordingly
Judgment ORDER NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--Mr. Fazal-e-Hussain, Advocate-on---Record, appeared before us and stated that Mian Mahmud Ali Kasuri, who is being considered by the office to be the counsel for the appellants, is no longer their counsel. According to Mr. Fazal-e-Hussain Mr. Kasuri was engaged only for prosecuting the leave to appeal matter and that he was not engaged thereafter for conducting the appeal. He suggests that notice may be issued to the appellants calling upon them to make due arrangements for prosecuting the appeal. Issue notice to the appellants apprising them of the above statement made on behalf of Mr. Kasuri and asking them to make arrangements for their representation for prosecuting their appeal. This case is connected with Jail Petition No. 84-R of 1977, which presumably is lying at Rawalpindi. Both the matters should be fixed at Rawalpindi. In the meanwhile, the office should also enquire from the jail authorities whether the appellants have not by now served out their sentences and have since been released.
