Representation
- Sardar Muhammad Ishaq Khan, Advocate instructed by Al. Afzal Siddiqi, Advocate‑ on‑Record for Petitioner.
- Imtiaz Muhammad Khan, Advocate‑on‑Record for Respondent No. 1.
- Date of hearing : 20th June 1979.
- In pursuance of the said notice, Sheikh Riaz Ahmad, the learned Assistant Advocate‑ General, Punjab, appeared on behalf of the State whereas Mr. Imtiaz Muhammad Khan, the learned Advocate‑on‑Record appeared for the accused‑respondent. Sardar Muhammad Ishaq Khan, the learned counsel for the petitioner was naturally anxious to argue the petition on merits. But the learned Advocate‑on‑Record .for the accused‑respondent made a statement from the bar that the trial of the accused has already concluded and the case is now fixed for judgment on 30‑6‑1979. In this view of the matter, it would be futile to proceed with the hearing of this petition, as we feel that let the trial Judge pronounce his judgment for which purpose the case is fixed for 30‑6‑1979.
