Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Siddique VS State Ss. 8, 9, 11-F(2), 11-G(2) & 11-W(2)---Prohibition of acts intended or likely to stir up sectarian hatred,proscribed organization, support and meetings relating to a proscribed organization, projection of proscribed organization, act of terrorism---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Accused acquitted under a different section 9 of the Act, 1997 on same set of evidence---Effect--- Prosecution case was that 22 pamphlets containing hate statements against the Shia community, stickers, cell phone and other material were recovered from the appellant---Trial Court convicted the appellant under S.11-G of the Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, on the ground that possession of the objectionable pamphlets and stickers indicated appellant's membership and support for the proscribed organization---Appellant's conviction under S.11-G of the Act, 1997, was unsustainable because it was based on the same evidence for which he was acquitted under S.9---Once the Court found that the material had not been distributed or displayed, was recovered in the concealed form, and was unsupported by corroborating evidence of affiliation, a conviction under S.11-G could not follow---To the extent of said offence, appeal was allowed, in circumstances.
