            Appellants Ahsan alias Raju and Haji alais Ali Murtaza were acquitted in terms of judgment dated 23.02.2026 by way of compromise with the direction that they would deposit Diyat amount Rs.4,739,823/- in 60 monthly installments. Along with urgent application, learned counsel for appellants has filed application under Section 561-A, Cr.PC for correction in the judgment dated 23.02.2026 on the ground that mistakenly it has been mentioned in the judgment that the appellants would deposit 60 monthly installments of Rs.79,000/- each. Learned counsel for appellants submits that Diyat amount of Rs.4,739,823/- was calculated against the appellants to deposit the said amount in 60 monthly installments of Rs.79,000/-, which can be corrected otherwise the said amount of Rs.4,739,823 would be doubled.

            Learned Additional Prosecutor General Sindh, present in Court in some other cases, waives notice and after having gone through the case file has recorded no objection.

            In view of above, listed application is allowed. The office is directed to make correction in the judgment dated 23.02.2026 to the extent of word “each” in line No.11, of Para 6 with red ink.

            Listed applications are disposed of in the above terms.
