Judgment text as reported

IDREES MASIH VS State S.376---Rape---Evidence---DNA test---Mandatory---Scope--- Mere claim of commission of rape and positive report thereof, alone, is not sufficient to convict a person---Commission of offence is completely different while proof of its being committed by specific person is different---Detection of human semen is not the conclusive proof that offence has been committed by specific person---DNA test, for such reason, is mandatory in such like cases---Mere presence of human sperm on trouser, in the absence of 'semen matching', is not sufficient to prove charge of rape.
