Judgment text as reported

State VS GUL ZAMAN S. 417---appeal against acquittal---Scope---Once an accused person is acquitted then strong and exceptional grounds would be required for setting aside the judgment of acquittal---Standard of appraisal of evidence in an appeal against acquittal is somewhat different than an appeal against conviction, because accused is presumed to be innocent in law and if after regular trial he is acquitted he earns a double presumption of innocence and heavy burden lies on the prosecution to invalidate such presumption.
