Mian Abdul Rashid for Petitioner.
Bashir Ahmed for the State.
Through this Miscellaneous application Muhammad Jamil petitioner wants this Court to correct clerical error. The learned counsel states at Bar that the fine awarded to the appellant was Rs.3,000 and not Rs.10,000 as mentioned in the order. The learned counsel for the State who was very much present on the date of hearing of the appeal also states that the fine imposed was Rs.3,000 and not Rs.10,000. I do not see any reason to disbelieve the learned counsel for the parties.

"The sentence of three years' R.I. is altered to a fine of Rs.3,000 in default thereof the appellant would undergo three years' R.I."
