KARACHI:Sindh High Court Wednesday rejected appeals of four convicts against their sentences in illegal recruitment in Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC).
A SHC bench upheld sentences awarded to four convicts Mohammad Ahsan, Razi-ur-Rehman, Mirza Jillani Baig and Mohammad Saleem Khan by a trial court.
However, the court converted a 10-year prison term of all four convicts to five years on technical grounds. The bench also ordered arrest and transfer of the convicted persons to jail. Police arrested Mohammad Saleem Khan and Razi-ur-Rehman after their appeals were turned down by the court.
The bench issued arrest warrants for the absconding accused. A local court had awarded a 10-year jail term to four accused in a 2017 verdict.
