Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ALI VS SAMINA QASIM TARAR Pursuing concurrent remedies under civil and criminal law---Permissibility---Remedy (for the same cause) can be pursued both under the criminal law and civil law in diverse situations---Although they plainly overlap, they do not always exclude one another, and essentially vary in both content and impact---Any act does not lose its criminal nature just because it has a civil liability, and it is wrongly presumed that when a civil liability is under challenge and its discipline relates to civil remedy, criminal prosecution is unsustainable.
