Citation Name: 2024 YLR 61 PESHAWAR-HIGH-COURTBookmark this Case MUHAMMAD AKBAR VS State Ss. 302(b), 324, 337-F(ii) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, ghayr-jaifah-badi'ah, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Contents of a press conference placed on record---Reliance---Scope---Accused was charged that he along with his co-accused committed murder of the brother of complainant and caused injuries to the complainant by inflicting knife blows---In the present case, CD of press conference was available on record wherein one uncle of the complainant had given the true picture of the occurrence---In the press conference the uncle was accompanied by the complainant as well as injured eye-witness---Uncle had charged three Police Officials for the murder of his nephew and that too in police custody due to an altercation of cutting of tree---However, there was no expert report on the record which could justify the genuineness of the said press conference and thus lost its evidentiary value---Even otherwise press clippings and media reports were inadmissible for fixing the guilt of the accused and could not be taken into consideration while deciding the fate of a criminal case until and unless the same had been duly brought on record---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused through cogent and confidence inspiring direct evidence---Appeal against conviction was accordingly dismissed.
