Judgment text as reported

GUL ZAMEEN VS GOVERNMENT OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA through Secretary Home and Tribal Affairs, Peshawar Punitive law---Principle---While interpreting the provision of punitive law, Court was required to strive in search of an interpretation, which preferred the liberty of a person instead of curtailing the same and that too unreasonably and unfairly unless the statutory law clearly directed otherwise---Law which curtailed the liberty of a person was to be construed very strictly---Even if two equal interpretations were possible then the one favourable to the accused and his liberty must be adopted and preferred upon the contrary one.
