ORDER

ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN. ACTG. C.J.‑‑The petitioners seek leave to appeal against the judgment of the High Court dated 25‑3‑1985, dismissing their appeal in a murder case.

2. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners at some length and gone through the impugned judgment. The contentions raised by him only ‑amount to a request for reappraisal of evidence to reach a different conclusion on question of fact, different than those arrived at by the learned Courts below. We do not consider this appropriate case for reappraisal of evidence. The petition is, therefore, dismissed.

M. Y. H . Petition dismissed.
