He submits that the very FIR U/S 188 PPC is not sustainable under the law.

He further submits that the benefit of section 382-B Cr.P.C was also extended to the applicant/petitioner. He submits that learned appellate Court dismissed the appeal of the applicant/petitioner without going through the law laid down by the superior Courts in the cases falling under the provision of section 195 Cr.P.C. He further submits that sentence is short one and due to heavy work load upon this Court, this revision application will take time for its final hearing. He submits that the sentence of the applicant/ petitioner may be suspended.
Mr. Naimatullah Bhurgri, State Counsel concedes for suspension of sentence of the applicant/petitioner.
