| Decision |
The Supreme Court dismissed the review petition filed by Sardar Muhammad, who sought to challenge the previous judgment that had reduced the sentence of Muhammad Akbar from death to life imprisonment. The court found that the allegations against the accused were completely false and that the grounds for the initial sentence reduction were valid. The State did not support the review petition, and it was determined that the petitioner’s counsel had not provided sufficient grounds for the review. As such, the court held that there was no merit in the review petition and dismissed it. |
