Sh. Zafar Mahmood. Advocate Supreme Court with Ch. Akhtar Ali, Advocate‑on‑Record Petitioner

Nemo for the State.

Date of hearing : 11th December, 1983.

.‑This is a Review Petition against tic judgment of this Court dated 25‑5‑1983 in a murder case.

After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner at length we fin that it is a frivolous petition because the grounds of review themselves show that all that the petitioner's counsel requires this Court to do was merely to reappraise the evidence and to reach a different conclusion on question of fact, to suit him. We have, however, already observed, after going through the impugned judgment in the light of the contentions raised the petitioner's counsel at the time of the hearing of the main petition that this was not a fit case for reappraisal of evidence.

This is consequently dismissed.

S.Q. Petition dismissed.
