The court has noted that this application was heard and disposed of vide Cr. Appeal No. 645 of 2010. In that appeal, he had filed a revision application in addition to the appeal itself.  He withdrew the appeal by a way of Notice of Withdrawal filed on 24th November, 2015 and proceeded with the application for review of sentence filed on the same date. The ruling on revision was delivered by this court on 23rd December, 2015. The issues raised in the instant application were canvassed and settled by the court in that ruling. Accordingly, the application ought not to have been filed and the same is hereby dismissed. It is so ordered.
