IN THE HIGH COURT OF SINDH CIRCUIT COURT LARKANA

Crl. Appeal No. D-50 of 2010

Date	Order with signature of the Judge

For Hearing of M.A No. 1002/2010

20.5.2010.

Messrs Ali Nawaz Ghanghro and Siraj Ali K. Chandio, advocate for the appellant.

Mr. Naimatullah Bhurgri, State counsel.

------------

The appellant is convicted under section 9 (c ) of C.N.S Act, 1997 by the learned Special Judge for C.N.S Larkana to suffer imprisonment for two years and to pay fine of Rs. 50,000/-. In default of payment of fine, he was directed to undergo simple imprisonment for two months more. The benefit of section 382-B, Cr.P.C was also extended in favour of the appellant.

After arguing the appeal at some length, Messrs Ali Nawaz Ghanghro and Siraj Ali K. Chandio learned counsel for appellant stated that they will be satisfied if the sentence is reduced to sentence already undergone as the appellant being a young boy is a sole person of his family to earn. He is a graduate and has remained in jail for about eight months before conviction and about one month after conviction.

After going through the material produced by the prosecution at the trial we have observed that the appellant is a young boy and also an educated person and as a first offender no any material has been produced by the prosecution to show that the appellant was involved previously in such like cases.

After considering all the aspects of the case we alter the sentence of two years to the sentence already undergone with reduction in fine of Rs.50,000/- to Rs.10,000/- In default of payment of fine the appellant is directed to undergo SI for 15 days.

With the above modification this appeal is dismissed.
