| Decision |
The Supreme Court of Pakistan granted leave to appeal in the case of Muhammad Rafique vs. The State. The court reviewed whether the death sentence imposed on the petitioner should be reduced, considering the compromise agreement between the parties. The complainant pardoned the accused and received consideration for the minor daughters of the deceased, totaling Rs. 70,000 out of Rs. 1,50,000. The petitioner’s counsel referenced a Supreme Court decision (L D 1982 SC 139) to argue for a reduction in the sentence under the given circumstances. Consequently, the court authorized the review to determine if the petitioner’s sentence should be mitigated. |
