  • Imran alias Mani Versus The State
  • The appeal challenges the Federal Shariat Court's judgment, which upheld the conviction of the appellant for the murders of Muhammad Siddique and Ghulam Sakina, as well as for zina under the Offence of Zina Ordinance. The prosecution claimed the appellant and co-accused were caught in the act of zina by witnesses, who later found them attempting to kill the deceased. However, critical prosecution witnesses were absent, and the case lacked physical evidence. The Court found the prosecution's case inconsistent and unreliable, resulting in the appellant's acquittal due to insufficient evidence and the failure to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
