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---Judicial confession of accused voluntary and true---accused was charged for committing murder of his wife/daughter of the complainant by strangulating her neck---appellant had recorded his judicial confession---Confession was plain, simple and precise containing the motive behind the murder of the deceased, leaving no doubt that appellant had killed his wife by strangulating her through the dupatta the deceased was wearing at the relevant time---Mode and manner of strangulation narrated by the appellant in his confession stood to reason as it was not a difficult task for the appellant to strangulate his wife through a dupatta which was normally carried by females around their necks---Prosecution had examined Judicial Magistrate, who had recorded judicial confession of appellant but nothing had been brought on the record during cross-examination of the said witness to suggest that either the confessional statement of the appellant was recorded against the relevant procedure or any act or omission of the witness, acting as Judicial Magistrate, had prejudiced the appellant in any manner whatsoever---appellant was given 30 minutes time for deliberation whereafter he volunteered to record his confession without any pressure or duress---Thus, the Judicial Magistrate had recorded true and voluntary confessional statement of appellant which, being in conformity with the remaining evidence on record, had rightly been relied upon by the Trial Court for conviction of the appellant---appeal against conviction was dismissed, accordingly.
