Judgment text as reported

STATE through Advocate-General, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar VS SAID BAHAR S. 417---appeal against acquittal---Scope---Scope of interference in appeal against acquittal is most narrow and limited because in case of acquittal the presumption of innocence is significantly added to the cardinal rule of criminal jurisprudence that an accused shall be presumed to be innocent unless proved guilty---Simple is that the presumption of innocence is doubled and the Courts shall be very slow in interfering with such an acquittal judgment, unless it is shown to be perverse, based on gross violation of law, suffering from the errors of grave mis-reading or non-reading of the evidence.
