Judgment & Decree
MUHAMMAD RAFIQ TARAR, J.‑‑This is a petition for suspension of sentence on behalf of Hakim Ali petitioner who has been sentenced to imprisonment for life and a fine of Rs.10,000 under section 302/34, P.P.C.
2. The role attributed to the petitioner was that he put a `Saafa' around the neck of Hanif deceased and pulled him while his co‑accused Nizam Din caused an injury with a Barchhi on his left flank and co‑accused Ramzan gave him a Sota blow.
3. Suspension of sentence is claimed on the ground that the part attributed to the petitioner is falsified by the medical evidence. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail.
4. According to the medical evidence, there were two injuries on the dead body, viz. a penetrating incised wound on left side of abdomen and a lacerated wound on scalp. The first injury was attributed to Nizam Din and the other to Ramzan. No ligature mark or injury on the neck finds mention in the medical evidence. In the circumstances, a case for the suspension of sentence is made out. Accordingly, we suspend the sentence of the petitioner subject to his furnishing security in the sum of Rs.50,000 with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner, Okara. S.G.D./H‑18/L Bail allowed.
