Thereafter, the complainant along with the PWs approached to the accused Shahid Ali and demanded money who kept him on false hopes and ultimately denied. Consequently complainant appeared at P.S and lodged F.I.R of the incident as stated above.  

       The police after usual investigation submitted challan against the appellant to face his trial.
       The trial court supplied relevant case papers to the accused vide receipt as Ex.1 and also framed formal charge against him to which he pleaded no guilty and claimed for trial.
       In order to prove its case, prosecution examined Abdul Raheem khushik at Ex. 3 who produced the F.I.R at Ex.3 A and dishonoured cheque as Ex.3/B Memo at Ex.3/C and P.W-2 Abdul Razaque at Ex.4, P.W-3 Shoukat Ali at Ex.5, who produced memo of place of incident at Ex.5-A, P.W-4 ASI Mohammad Ameen Vighio at Ex.6.

However he neither examined himself on oath nor produced any witness in defence.

       Consequently upon hearing the advocate for accused and learned ADPP for the state, the learned trial court passed the impugned judgment, which has been challenged through present appeal.

        On the above mentioned facts the case was proceeded against the appellant / accused and subsequently the learned Judge convicted the accused and sentenced him as mentioned above, hence this appeal on the following grounds:
