The legal heirs of Sarfraz Shah, a young man who was shot dead by Rangers at Benazir Shaheed Park in Clifton on June 8, filed an application in the Sindh High Court (SHC) for compromise with the convicts.
The brother of deceased, Salik Shah, moved an application under Section 344 (2) (6) of the Criminal Procedure Code in the Sindh High Court for compromise with the convicts.
Earlier, Salik Shah had filed an appeal in the SHC seeking enhancement in the sentences handed down to six Rangers personnel from life sentence to capital punishment.
An anti-terrorism court (ATC) headed by Judge Bashir Ahmed Khoso had sentenced Rangers constable Shahid Zafar to death and jailed sub-inspector Bahaur Rehman, lance Naik Liaquat Ali and constables Muhammad Tariq, Manthar Ali and Afzal Khan for life on Aug 12, 2012.
The civilian contractor, Afsar Khan, was also jailed for life in the case. The convicts have already filed their respective appeals in the high court against their conviction.
