Sentence of accused was suspended in circumstances and he was released on bail. Ch. Muhammad Ashraf Azeem for Petitioner. Arshad Khan for the State. The petitioner was convicted under section 323, P.P.C. and sentenced to undergo S.I: for two years for having caused simple injuries vide judgment dated 6-10-1991. He was acquitted of the charge under section 302/307/34, P.P.C., although two of his co-accused were convicted under section 302/34, P.P.C. and sentenced accordingly.

2. The sentence provided under section 323, P.P.C. is one year. I wonder wherefrom the learned trial Judge got the powers to sentence him for two years. He has remained in jail for some time during the trial and has also undergone about a month's imprisonment. There is no likelihood of the appeal coming up in the near future. The petition for suspension of sentence is, therefore, allowed. He shall be released on bail on his furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.20,000 with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Assistant Commissioner, Chunian. N.H.Q./M-613/L Sentence suspended.
