Judgment text as reported

Shakir Ullah VS State Ss. 302(b) & 338-a---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), S. 164---Qatl-i-amd, isqat-i-haml---appreciation of evidence---Confessional statement of accused---Voluntariness---Scope---accused was charged for committing murder of his wife/daughter of the complainant by strangulating her neck---appellant had never claimed that his judicial confession was made under torture, pressure, inducement, promise, or threat from the police, nor the evidence on record suggested any such coercive circumstances surrounding the confession he made before the competent Court rather he had specifically taken the plea that he was never produced before the Court for recording his confession---Such bald assertions of the appellant without supportive evidence could not be accepted---Thus, not only the overwhelming evidence brought on the record was linking the appellant to the murder of his wife but his sole confession, having been recorded truthfully and voluntarily, was also credible enough to support a conviction, even if it was later retracted---appeal against conviction was dismissed, accordingly.
