When qatl-i-amd is punished as tazir, the court has the discretion to impose a sentence of imprisonment. Under the relevant provisions of the Pakistan Penal Code, this term is fixed at twenty-five years. This serves as a severe deterrent for intentional homicide when the requirements for qisas are not met or when the court deems tazir appropriate for the circumstances of the case.

What is the legal classification for an injury that ruptures the skin and causes bleeding?
Under the Islamic provisions incorporated into the Pakistan Penal Code, 'Damiyah' is defined as an injury that ruptures the skin of the victim and causes bleeding. It is one of the specific categories of Ghayr-Jaifah injuries recognized under the law.
1083
Under the relevant legal provisions, within what timeframe must the payment of 'arsh' be completed following a final judgment?
In Islamic criminal law as codified in Pakistan, 'arsh' refers to the compensation paid for causing hurt. According to the Offence Against Human Body (Enforcement of Qisas and Diyat) Ordinance, 1990, the court may allow the payment of arsh to be made in a lump sum or in installments, provided the total duration does not exceed five years from the date of the final judgment.

What is the legal term for the right to demand the death of a convict who has committed Qatl-i-amd?
Qisas is the Islamic legal principle of 'retaliation in kind.' In the context of intentional homicide (Qatl-i-amd), it grants the victim's heirs the right to demand the death of the perpetrator. This is distinct from Tazir, which is discretionary punishment, and Daman, which refers to compensation for injuries not covered by Arsh.
1085
If an offender inflicts two wounds on a victim that are so close they merge into a single wound, how is the liability for Arsh determined?
In cases of bodily hurt under the Pakistan Penal Code, if multiple wounds are inflicted in such proximity that they effectively constitute a single injury, the court generally assesses the liability for Arsh based on the resulting single wound rather than treating them as distinct injuries for compensation purposes.

Which category of Shajjah involves an injury to the head or face where the bone is exposed but remains unfractured?
Shajjah-i-mudihah is defined as an injury to the head or face that exposes the bone without causing a fracture. This is a distinct category under the Pakistan Penal Code, and the law mandates specific compensation (arsh) for this type of injury, differentiating it from other forms of Shajjah that involve bone fractures or deeper tissue damage.
1087
Under which provision is Diyat payable when an offender guilty of Qatl-i-Amd is not liable to Qisas or when Qisas is unenforceable?
According to the Pakistan Penal Code, specifically under the provisions governing Qatl-i-Amd, if the punishment of Qisas is not applicable or cannot be enforced, the offender is liable to pay Diyat as compensation to the heirs of the victim.
1088
Under the Pakistan Penal Code, what is the maximum term of imprisonment for causing the 'itlaf' (loss) of a milk tooth, in addition to the liability for 'daman'?
The Pakistan Penal Code provides specific punishments for causing physical harm. In the case of 'itlaf-i-udw' involving a milk tooth, the offender is liable to pay 'daman' (compensation) as determined by the court. Additionally, the court may impose a sentence of imprisonment that can extend up to one year, depending on the circumstances of the case and the severity of the injury.
1089
Under the Pakistan Penal Code, which specific category of Shajjah refers to an injury to the head or face that does not result in the exposure of the bone?
Shajjah-i-khafifah is defined under the Pakistan Penal Code as an injury to the head or face that does not expose the bone. It is considered a minor form of Shajjah compared to other categories like Mudiah or Hashimah, which involve bone exposure or fracture. This classification is essential for determining the appropriate Qisas or Daman penalties under Islamic criminal law provisions integrated into the PPC.
1090
Which section of the Pakistan Penal Code defines the offense of Qatl-i-Amd?
Section 300 of the Pakistan Penal Code provides the legal definition of Qatl-i-Amd, which refers to intentional homicide. While Section 302 prescribes the punishment for this offense, the definition itself is contained within Section 300. This distinction is crucial for understanding the structure of Islamic criminal law provisions integrated into the Pakistan Penal Code.
