Judgment ORDER ' ABDUL KADIR SHAIKH, J.-- Appellant was held guilty by the Special Judge (Central) Anti-Smuggling and Anti-Corruption, Government of N.-W.F.P, Peshawar, under section 411, P.P.C. And was sentenced to two years' R.I. And a fine of Rs,2,000 or in default to undergo further six months' R.I. Appeal filed by him in Peshawar High Court was dismissed but leave was granted to him by this Court in order to consider the question of sentence imposed upon him. ' We have gone through the record of the case in the light of the argument addressed by the learned counsel for the appellant. The stolen property belonged to the Government and since there are no mitigating circumstances whatsoever, interference by this Court with the legal sentence awarded to the appellant would not be justified. The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.
