JUDGMENT
JUSTICE AFTAB HUSSAIN, CHAIRMAN.-This is a case of incest since the charge against the appellant is that he committed sexual intercourse with his own sister Asia who is five years old. The appellant was convicted by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Lahore, on the 16th of May, 1981, under section 10 of the Offence of Zina (Enforcement of Hudood) Ordinance, 1979, and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for a period of five years only. He did not even sentence him to whipping. The appellant has now come up in appeal to challenge his conviction as well as sentence.
