Judgment & Decree
SALAD AHMAD, J.-This is a Petition for Leave to Appeal by Illahi Bux and Bangul Khan, who are father and son respectively and have been convicted for the murder of one Raza Muhammad Khan. Illahi Bux has been sentenced to transporta tion for life- while Bangul Khan has been condemned to death by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Jacobabad. Their convictions and sentences have been confirmed, on appeal, by the High Court of West Pakistan, Karachi Bench, Karachi. Leave is granted to consider the question whether the convictions are justified on evidence which is admittedly interested and partisan in character and which has been disbelieved against the third accused Rahim Bux who was acquitted by the trial Judge and further whether the High Court was right in allowing itself to be influenced by the circumstance which it has used in proof of the guilt of the two petitioners that they had failed to prove their plea of alibi. Leave granted.
