The State Vs. Zeeshan Haider
Case FIR No. 463/23 dated 18.09.2023.
Offence under Sec. 462-I PPC.
Police Station: Khushab.
JUDGMENT:
Accused has made the confessional statement with his free will and
consent without any duress or inducement and pleaded himself guilty so, the
offence of stealing the electricity has been proved against him hence, he is
convicted under Sec. 462-I of PPC.
According to the convict, he is poor person; he is first offender; he,
being ashamed feels contrition for the said act. He has requested for pardon
and ensures that he will not repeat such offence while showing his
repentance. In this situation, this Court is of the humble view that it is the
poverty due to which he has indulged himself in the criminal activity. He has
surrendered himself on mercy of the court and stated that he will mend his
ways and become a good citizen. He has requested to send him on probation
so that he could be reformed and rehabilitated. Record reveals that he is not
previous convict as nothing is on the file to show his previous conviction. To
become a good citizen, a lenient view is taken against the convict as he wants
his reformation and rehabilitation, hence in view of the Provisions of “The
Probation of Offenders Ordinance 1960”, an opportunity is granted to the
convict to become a good citizen, as the convict himself has stated that he
wants to mend his ways and as per record, he is not a previous convict
hence, instead of sending convict to jail, is hereby sent on probation for a
period of one year. The Probation Officer Khushab namely Khalid Mahmood
Asim is present in the court and the convict Zeeshan Haider is handed over to
him and convict Zeeshan Haider is directed to submit Surety Bond of Rs.
100000/- with one surety in the like amount for his appearance before the
Probation Officer Khushab on each and every date and for not committing any
offence, for a period of one year. The convict is hereby directed to comply
with the conditions of Bond submitted to the Probation Officer and in case of
violation of the conditions of Bond or in case of repetition of the offence, the
convict will be dealt strictly as per law. Case property be confiscated in
accordance with law, after decision/period of appeal or revision, if any. Be
consigned.
