Petitioner: LEHRASAB VS Respondent: THE STATE
Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Abdul Hameed Dogar, Abdur Rehman Khan, Tanvir Ahmed Khan Title: LEHRASAB vs THE STATE Case No.: Criminal Petition No,173-L of 2000 Date of Judgment:2000-11-08 Reported As: 2001 SCMR 1986 Result: Leave granted
Judgment ORDER ' The petitioner was convicted under section 302, P.P.C. And was awarded death sentence by the trial Court. In appeal the conviction was maintained but the death sentence was reduced into life imprisonment. This petition has, therefore, been moved to assail the correctness of the impugned judgments. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner argued that the only evidence on which conviction has been based is that of recovery of 222 rifle and the matching of the empties picked up from the spot. However, he pointed out that this recovery was not believed by the trial Court and moreover the finding of the High Court is that the empty was fired from the gun recovered from co- accused Muhammad Nawaz. ' We grant leave to appeal to consider the above contentions.
