>>>>>>>>…<<<<<<<<

                        The appellant by way of instant Criminal Jail Appeal has impugned judgment dated 02.10.2007 passed by learned 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Mirpur Mathelo, whereby he for an offence punishable u/s 302(b) PPC for having committed murder of Darya Khan was convicted and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay fine of Rs.100,000/- to legal heirs of said deceased and in case of his failure to make payment of fine to undergo simple imprisonment for six months more.

2.                    The appellant after his release on bail has preferred to go in absconsion and as per learned DPG for the State there is no likelihood of the arrest in near future, and in that way, he has lost his right of audience before this Court. In such circumstances, no alternate is left for this Court but to keep this appeal on dormant file till arrest of the appellant and he after his arrest may apply for resurrection of his appeal, if so is advised to him. Order accordingly. The NBW which is operating against the appellant may continue till it is satisfied. The reference in this context if need be may well be placed upon the case of Ikramullah and others vs. The State (2015 SCMR 1002)

3.                    The office is directed to continue with the action against the surety of the appellant in terms of earlier order.
