P.A. attested by P . W .1 Nazir Ahmad A . S .I . and P.W.2 Abdul Rashid. They have fully corroborated each other. Reduction of sentence in this case is prayed for.

He has also paid up the fine. Since the sentence in this case is to run consecutively as such the appellant's sentence in this case has started running and according to his calculations he has served a little over a year in this case.
