Court Name: Supreme Court of Pakistan Judge(s): Nasim Hasan Shah, Saad Saood Jan Title: MUHAMMAD IQBAL vs THE STATE Case No.: Jail Petition No, 9-R of 1985 Date of Judgment:1989-06-07 Reported As: 1990 SCMR 319 Result: Petition dismissed
Judgment ORDER ' NASIM HASAN SHAH, J.--The petitioner, Muhammad Iqbal, was tried under section 302, P.P.C. For the murder of Amir Abbas by the Sessions Judge, Mianwali. He was convicted under section 302, P.P.C. And sentenced to death. ' On appeal and reference the High Court confirmed the sentence of death and also dismissed the appeal preferred by the petitioner from jail. In the result, the petitioner stood condemned to death. However, in consequence of the Presidential Order dated 6-12-1988; the death sentence of all the condemned prisoners was commuted to imprisonment for life and in pursuance thereof the petitioner was shifted to the general section of the jail to undergo the lesser sentence. In the meanwhile, however, the petitioner had submitted this petition for leave to appeal through jail. ' I have perused the relevant judgments and agree with the view taken by the High Court that the motive, ocular account, the recoveries and the medical testimony all fully establish the case of the prosecution. The petitioner has already been lucky in the matter of sentence in pursuance of the beneficient orders of the President. ' No further alteration either in the conviction or in the sentence is warranted. ' I would dismiss this petition. SAAD SAOOD JAN, J.--I agree.
