Judgment text as reported

Nawab SIRAJ ALI VS State Ss. 6 & 7---act of terrorism---Reappraisal of evidence---Occurrence a result of personal scuffle---admittedly, in the present case, the occurrence took place due to one of the accused directing an indecent joke with daughter of the complainant, which aggravated the situation and ultimately resulted into the death of complainant's son---No element of terrorism was found in the present case---Such aspect also found support from the fact that the father of the deceased, who was himself a police officer, while lodging the crime report admitted that scuffle took place amongst his son and the accused persons in a club, which ultimately resulted into the incident---Present case was the outcome of personal egoistic approach and there was no design or purpose of destabilizing the government, disturbing the society or hurting a section of the society with a view to achieve objectives which were essentially political, ideological or religious, therefore, provisions of anti-Terrorism act, 1997 were not applicable in the present case---appeals were allowed, and accused persons were acquitted of the charge.
