Judgment text as reported

Ashir alias Waseem VS State Ss. 377-B, 506-B & 34---Sexual abuse, criminal intimidation, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Solitary statement of victim---Conviction---Scope---Accused was charged that he along with his co-accused persons committed sodomy with the brother of the complainant at gun point and threatened him that if he disclosed such fact to anyone, they would kill him---Present case was based on the solitary statement of the victim---Court was neither oblivious of heinousness of the offence nor the legal position that the presumption of truth, in such type of cases, was attached to statement of the victim and his family members as normally nobody would own such allegation, however, such presumption would not be sufficient for conviction unless the evidence of such set of witnesses passed the required test for judging the evidence judicially---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused beyond any reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was accordingly allowed.
