JHELUM – Lahore High Court Rawalpindi bench headed by Justice Mahmood Maqbool Bajwa suspended the execution of death penalty orders of the two siblings Skindar and Jamshed temporarily.
The reason behind the temporary moratorium is of the confirmation whether the two brothers are minors or not.
Justice Mahmood Maqbool Bajwa directed the district and session judge Jhelum to constitute a medical board to identify the ages of the two accused brothers.
District and session judge Jhelum was asked to find out whether the accused were juvenile or not by the time they committed the murder.
Justice Mahmood Maqbool directed the district and session judge Jhelum that death penalty be converted into life imprisonment if the report declares the two siblings underage.
The district court would review the case to determine the penalty with respect to the nature of crime in relation with the ages of the accused brothers.
