Judgment & Decree
Mian Ata‑ur‑Rehman for Petitioners. Umran Nazir for the State. The petitioners Lai alias Laloo and Manzoor alias Manzoori were convicted by a judgment of the learned Magistrate Jaranwala, on 30‑6‑1977 under section 411 of the P.P.C. and sentenced to six months' R.I. each. Their appeal was dismissed by a judgment dated 20‑8‑1975 of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Faisalabad.
2. The prosecution case was that two buffaloes and a small one of Daulat P.W. were stolen from his Baithak on the night preceding 19‑7‑1974. The theft was reported on 19‑7‑1974. On 31‑7‑1974, the S.H.O., Police Station, Lundianwala happened to be present at Canal bridge in the vicinity in Chak No. 378 G.B Tehsil Jaranwala, when the petitioners were found in possession of two buffaloes and a small one.
3. In support of its case the prosecution examined Daulat P.W. who deposed to the buffaloes and the small one being his property; the prosecution also called Muhammad Sarwar and Manzoor P.W. who testified to the recovery of the stolen property from petitioners. The former was a Oaumi Razakar and the latter also admitted that he joined the police as a member of Nakabandi party but as the time of recovery was night time, nothing turns upon these facts. I do not, therefore, find any reason to differ from the concurrent findings of fact of the learned Courts below that the petitioners were found in possession of the stolen property. As seen above the conviction was recorded on 30‑6‑1977 about 11 years have elapsed since then. In view of this I am of the opinion that the ends of justice will be met if their sentence is reduced to imprisonment already undergone. With this modification, the revision petition is dismissed. M.Y.H./L‑48/L Petition dismissed.
