MUHAMMAD HALEEM, .J.‑‑The petitioner stands convicted for the murder of his step‑mother Aziz Begum and sentenced to death. An application has been filed alongwith the affidavits that the parties have compromised and paid a compensation of Rs.95,000 to her heirs. The deceased left her surviving two major daughters Irshad Begum and Kishwar Begum; and one major son Abbas, for her former husband; and two minor sons Muhammad Hanif and Muhammad Farooq and a minor daughter Naheed from her second husband. These minors are in the custody of the mother of the deceased namely Ghulam Fatima who is too old to appear in Court while the other major issues are present in Court.
