Ch. Rasheed Ahmed for Appellant. S. Qamaruddin Hassan for Respondent. Date of hearing : 17th February. 1985.

For two or three days he was pastered to do the affixing of the posters but his refusal annoyed Nazeer and Javed. On the fourth day, Nazeer and Javed stopped him just at the time when all the workers had gone to the Canteen, Nazeer holding a revolver and Javed had a glass of jurious syrup and they insisted that he should take the syrup at pistol point. He drank the syrup. The syrup affected his mental health and he was soon hospitalized. He could not recover and then he was sent to Seventhdays' Adventist Hospital, Karachi, who had suggested light duty. Mr. Nazeer and Javed threatened him that if he would disclose the secret to any one he would be killed. That, again on 3rd September, 1981, he was assaul­ted but he was saved by the people. The appellant was between the devil and the deep-sea and he, therefore, on 23rd September, 1981 made an application to the President and Chief Martial Law Administrator of Pakistan at Islamabad. The attested copy is on record and it is at 57 marked 'G'. Whether or not this representation was received by the President of Pakistan, is not known.…
