            On 30.04.2025, following order was passed:

            “Vide judgment dated 13.02.2025, passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge-VIII, Malir Karachi, appellant Muhammad Munir was convicted and sentenced to 5 years R.I. and to pay fine Rs.5000/-, in default whereof to undergo S.I. for 10 days. He was further convicted under section 337-E(ii)(a), PPC for causing injury to Abbas Ali and sentenced to 1 year R.I. as Tazir and to pay Daman amount Rs.10,000/- in default whereof he was ordered to be dealt with as provided under section 337-Y, PPC. Daman amount if paid by convict shall be paid to injured Abbas Ali. Benefit of section 382-B, PPC was extended to appellant.

 

            During pendency of appeal, jail roll was called, which reveals that appellant has served out the total sentence but he is confined in the prison for want of payment of Daman amount Rs.10,000/-. Jail Superintendent, District Prison and Correctional Facility Malir Karachi was called. Today, Deputy Superintendent, District Jail Malir has appeared and submits that appellant is ready to pay Daman amount through Jail Authorities but learned trial Court is not receiving Daman amount due to pendency of this appeal. Learned trial Court is directed to receive Daman amount, which will be deposited on his behalf by the Jail Authorities. This order shall be communicated to the trial Court through learned District and Sessions Judge Malir by fax for compliance. Jail Superintendent, District Prison Malir is directed to get consent from appellant in writing as to whether the appellant wants to contest this appeal on merits or he does not want to contest the same on merits and to appear along with reply of appellant before this Court on 02.05.2025 at 09:30 a.m.”

 

            Mr. Ameer Baig, Assistant, District Prison and Correctional Facility, Malir, Karachi, present in court, files a report signed by the Superintendent supported with receipt dated 30.4.2025 of Nazir, District and Sessions Court, Malir, Karachi and handwritten statement of the appellant, which are taken on record. He submits that after payment of Rs.10,000.00 as Daman amount with the Nazir of the District and Sessions Court, Malir, the appellant was released from the jail. Perusal of the handwritten statement of appellant annexed with the aforesaid report of the Superintendent, District Prison and Correctional Facility, Malir, shows that the appellant does not want to proceed with his case on merits. Accordingly, this Cr. Appeal is dismissed in above terms.
