Judgment text as reported

SALAMAT MANSHA MASIH VS State Chap. XV---Constitution of Pakistan, Art. 10-A---Offences relating to religion---Case based on oral testimony of complainant---Corroboration---Abiding by Islamic jurisprudential principles, applying the constitutionally guaranteed right to fair trial and due process, and acting prudently to ensure that an innocent is not convicted wrongly in respect of offences relating to religion, when there is only the improbable oral testimony of witnesses, then there must be corroboration---Oftentimes righteous zeal, moral outrage, and/or indignation also steers the prosecution to a pre-determined destination by eclipsing the general standard of proof in criminal cases; that is, beyond reasonable doubt.
