Judgment text as reported

ILYAS VS WARIS KHAN S. 302(b)---Pakistan Arms Ordinance (XX of 1965), S. 13---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 185(3)---Qatl-i-amd, possession of illegal weapons---Petition for leave to appeal challenging acquittal---Accused-husband alleged to have murdered his wife with the assistance of his co-accused-brother---Contentions on behalf of complainant (deceased's father) that there was no occasion for the High Court to acquit the accused and co-accused in the face of formidable evidence comprising ocular account, furnished by an inmate who saw the deceased being mercilessly done to death inside the safety of complainant's house; that disproportionate reliance by the High Court on alleged flaws in the investigative process having little bearing on the mainstay of the prosecution, being artificial, were incompatible with the settled principles of administration of criminal justice, and that the evidence admitted no hypothesis other than guilt of accused and co-accused--- Supreme Court granted leave to consider the said contentions.
