Judgment text as reported

ZULFIQAR ALI VS State Ss.25(b) & 32---Plea bargain---Voluntariness---Proof---Accused after his arrest by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) entered into plea bargain and was released, whereas remaining co-accused persons were acquitted of the charge after trial--- Plea raised by accused was that his plea bargain was result of coercion--- Validity--- Accused made a conscious decision to enter into a plea bargain with NAB and did not run a risk of being convicted and sentenced to imprisonment at trial--- Accused only challenged legality of his plea bargain once other co-accused persons were acquitted---Appeal of accused was a belated attempt by him to get out of plea bargain which he freely entered into once he found that other co-accused persons were acquitted---If other co-accused would have convicted and imprisoned the accused could not have challenged his plea bargain---High Court declined to interfere in the matter as there was no illegality in plea bargain---Appeal was dismissed, in circumstances.
