Judgment text as reported

BARKAT ALI VS State Sole evidence of material witness---Scope---No doubt, the sole evidence of a material witness i.e. an eye-witness was always sufficient to establish guilt of the accused if the same was confidence-inspiring and trustworthy and supported by other independent source of evidence because the law considered quality of evidence and not its quantity to prove the charge---Accused could be convicted if the Court found the direct oral evidence of one eye-witness to be reliable, trustworthy and confidence-inspiring.
