Judgment & Decree
Ss. 307 & 148/149
Compromise, effect of
Parties had compromised-- Injured witnesses present in Court, owned the compromise
Occurrence took place in the year 1980
Accused were sent to jail thrice during proceedings and remained in jail for more than 4 months after conviction
Agony of protracted trial coupled with imprisonment suffered would meet the case
Compromise even in non-compoundable offences being recognized ground for reduction in sentence, sentence of four years' R.I. was reduced to one already undergone. Ch. M. Asif Ranjha for Petitioners. Ch. Imtiaz Ahmad for the State. Date of hearing: 15th May, 1991. Ijaz Aleem and 9 others, petitioners, stand convicted under section 307/148/149, P.P.C. and sentenced to four years' R.I. under section 307/149, P.P.C. and sentenced to six months' R.I. under section 148, P.P.C. with the directions that the sentences shall run concurrently.
2. Admitting the criminal liability of the petitioners for the injuries found on the person of Muhammad Habib, Munir Bashir and Yaseen P.Ws., learned counsel has requested for reduction in sentence on the ground of compromise between the parties. The compromise deed has been placed on the record. The injured P.Ws. Muhammad Habib, Muhammad Saeed and Ijaz are present in the Court. They own compromise with the petitioners. Learned counsel for the complainant supports the learned counsel for the petitioners. No one has appeared for the State.
3. Since compromise even in non-compoundable offences is one of the recognized grounds for the reduction in sentence, so I feel persuaded to agree with the learned counsel for the petitioners. Furthermore, the occurrence took place in the year 1980. The petitioners were sent to jail thrice; and they remained in jail for more than 4 months before they could be released on bail in this revision petition. In the circumstances, I feel that the agony of protracted trial coupled with the imprisonment suffered by them as under-trial prisoner and as convicts would meet the case. Disposed of accordingly. SA./1-271/L Order accordingly.
