Judgment text as reported

State VS AHMED OMAR SHEIKH Principles---Parameters to deal with an appeal against conviction and an appeal against acquittal were totally different because acquittal carried double presumption of innocence and same could be reversed only when found blatantly perverse, illegal, arbitrary, capricious or speculative, shocking or rested upon impossibility---If there was a possibility of a contrary view even then acquittal could not be set aside.
