Judgment text as reported

Mst. RUKHSANA VS REHMANULLAH S. 302(b)---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 185(3)---Qatl-i-amd---Petition for leave to appeal challenging acquittal---Contentions on behalf of prosecution that the deceased, both in their prime youth, were brutally done to death in broad daylight under unmistakable premeditation within the view of witnesses who not only established their presence at the scene but also had no axe to grind against the culprits, one of whom was still avoiding justice; that each piece of evidence produced by the prosecution was synchronized with the events within the proximity of time and space, hardly leaving any room to deliberate a false case or entertain any hypothesis of substitution; that the High Court's disproportionate reliance on the peripheral issues purporting inconsequential omissions by the Investigating Officer, witnesses' inability to point out caliber of weapons with exactitude and reference to entries in the site plan without them having been confronted to the witnesses was incompatible with the settled norms of appreciation of evidence in administration of criminal justice and, thus, being artificial resulted in miscarriage of justice---Supreme Court granted leave to consider the said contentions of the prosecution.
