Judgment text as reported

IMRAN TAJ GICHKI VS State Ss. 9(a)(v) & 10---Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984), Art. 129(g)---Corruption and corrupt practices---Appreciation of evidence--- Material witnesses not produced---Effect---Accused-respondents were charged with the allegation of accumulation of assets disproportionate to their known sources of income and caused loss to the government exchequer to the tune of Rs. 184,609,136/- by means of corruption and corrupt practices---Trial Court convicted the accused "ITG" whereas accused "SI" was acquitted---Prosecution alleged that the appellant had purchased a house and a plot of land, but in that connection, the material five witnesses were not produced without any cogent reasons---Thus, adverse presumption under Art. 129(g) of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, would be drawn against the prosecution that if the said witnesses had been examined then they would not have supported the prosecution case, which aspect of the matter also made the prosecution version doubtful---Circumstances established that no infirmity and perversity in impugned judgment of acquittal had been found, thus appeal against acquittal was dismissed---Further prosecution failed to prove the charge against the co-convict, thus appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
