ISLAMABAD -- A pakistani judge has ordered that the leg of a man be amputated for causing his victim to lose a leg, AFP quoted reports as saying Tuesday. However, if doctors decide against the amputation for some reason the convict, Akhtar Rana, should pay the victim, Khalid Javed, about $2,300 in compensation, Judge Shaukat Ali Khan ruled, according to the newspaper Jang. Rana was also ordered to be imprisoned for 10 years for shooting Javed in the legs. One leg had to be amputated while the other was maimed, the newspaper said.
