Kh. Sultan Ahmad, Advocate Supreme Court and Rana Maqbool Ahmad Qadri, Advocate‑on‑Record (absent) for Appellant. Muhammad Nawaz Abbasi, Asstt. A.‑G., Punjab for the State. Leave to appeal was granted in this case on the question of sentence only. However, in the meanwhile pursuant to a general order passed by the President of Pakistan in December, 1988 the sentence of death passed against all convicts sentenced to death has been reduced to life imprisonment and the appellant has been shifted from the death cell to the general section of the Jail to undergo life imprisonment. On account of this development, the learned counsel for the appellant does not press the appeal but at the same time submits that as several Constitutional petitions have been filed in the High Court to challenge the validity of the aforesaid general order of the President he should be permitted to get this appeal revived and disposed of on merits in case the aforesaid order of the President is modified and the death sentence restored. This request is reasonable. This appeal accordingly shall stand dismissed but with leave to the appellant to re‑activate the matter, if necessary. M. B. A. / M-1073/ S Appeal dismissed,
