Judgment & Decree
Arshad Mubeen Anwari for Petitioner. Date of hearing: 15th April, 1989. . Rana Muhammad Iqbal and Rana Muhammad Khalid petitioners had stood surety for Imanat Ali m a case under section 302, P.P.C. in the sum of Rs.50,000 each. Imanat Ali absconded whereupon show-cause notices were issued to the petitioners by the learned trial Court and the bonds forfeited. They were awarded a penalty of Rs.25,000/ each by order dated 19-7-1988 passed by Malik Mushtaq Ahmad A.S.I. Lahore. Hence this revision.
2. It is contended that the petitioners had tried very hard to find the accused but failed to find any clue of him. They had stood surety for him as he was their moeen. They undertake that they would continue their efforts to trace , him out and produce him before Court. They contend that the penalty imposed on them is harsh and request for its reduction.
3. In view of the circumstances narrated above I think that ends of justice will be met if the amount of penalty is reduced from Rs.25,000 to Rs:10,000 each. I order accordingly. The petitioners shall pay the abovementioned amount within one month. The revision is disposed of accordingly. N.H.Q./M-1332/L Order accordingly.
