According to jail authorities, the two brothers - Meero Gul and Ali Gul – were convicted of a murder in 2001 and were scheduled to be hanged early morning.
“The hanging did not take place as the convicts settled the dispute with the aggrieved party,” the authorities added.
On March 10, the interior ministry had lifted a moratorium on death penalty in all capital cases after restarting executions for terrorism offences in the wake of Peshawar school massacre.
