| Decision |
The Lahore High Court dismissed the revision petition regarding the conviction and sentences handed down by the trial court. The court upheld the conviction of the petitioner under sections 324 and 337-D of the Pakistan Penal Code, while allowing the payment of Arsh and Daman to be made in equal installments over a period set by the trial court. The petitioner was granted two years to make these payments, with the stipulation that failure to comply would result in custody. The court also set aside the fine imposed under section 324, deeming it harsh given the circumstances. The petitioner's co-accused had varying outcomes, with some acquitted and others convicted. |
