Advocate Aamir Ali Rana

"Our Constitution, as a whole, does not distinguish between a person with or without disabilities. It recognizes inherent dignity of a human being; equal and inalienable rights of all the people as the foundation of freedom, justice and peace. Every person is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind. It, therefore, applies equally to persons with disabilities, guaranteeing them full enjoyment of their fundamental rights without discrimination."

–Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, J.

Criminal Law Jurisprudence in the Supreme Court of 🇵🇰

Tagline:
"Effect of Compromise on Sentencing in Non-compoundable Offence"

Case Title:
Moinuddin, etc. …Appellants
versus
The State, etc. …Respondents

Present:
[Asif Saeed Khan Khosa, CJ (Author Judge); Mushir Alam, Manzoor Ahmad Malik, Sardar Tariq Masood, Ijaz Ul Ahsan, Mazhar Alam Khan Miankhel and Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, JJ.]

Date of Hearing: 02.04.2019

Excerpt:
"An offence which the law declares to be non-compoundable remains non-compoundable even if in a coordinate compoundable offence a compounding takes place between the relevant parties and, therefore, despite any compounding of the coordinate compoundable offence an acquittal cannot be recorded in the non-compoundable offence on that sole basis…In an appropriate case, keeping in view the peculiar circumstances of the case, compounding of a coordinate compoundable offence may be considered by a court towards reduction of the sentence, within the permissible limits, passed for commission of a non-compoundable offence. Consideration of this factor visà-vis reduction of the sentence passed for commission of the non-compoundable offence lies within the discretion of the court and cannot be treated as automatic or as a matter of course."
