Judgment text as reported

MANZOOR AHMED VS STATE. Ss. 302(b), 377 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, sodomy, common intention---Re-appraisal of evidence---Unnatural conduct of victim's relatives. Accused was charged for committing sodomy with the son of complainant and then murdering him. Admittedly, the uncles had left the deceased, a child of barely five or six years, behind at the mosque after the night (Isha) prayers, later began their search for the deceased when he had not returned home for some time. Again admittedly, the search party arrived at the mosque around 9:00 p.m. Initial act of leaving behind a child unattended at the mosque in the darkness of night during the winter month of November was perplexing in itself but also because the mosque was usually closed after the Isha (night) prayer. Only one other person was present in the mosque when the search party arrived, further establishing the absurdity of the witnesses' actions and their account of events. Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
