MUHAMMAD HANIF
VERSUS
ADDITIONAL SESSIONS JUDGE-WEST, ISLAMABAD ETC
Law: Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1898
Section: 540
Case Summary:
Petitioner: Muhammad Hanif (complainant in the main murder case) challenged the order dated 18.11.2013 passed by the learned Trial Court/ASJ-West, Islamabad, which dismissed his application under Section 540 Cr.P.C. seeking summoning of two witnesses, Zafar Iqbal HC and Abdul Rasheed SI. The Trial Court held that the petitioner failed to show how their examination would have material bearing on the case.
Petitioner’s Counsel Submission:
The learned counsel argued that the Trial Court erred in dismissing the application, as the statements of these witnesses are material and essential for a just decision, not merely to fill gaps.
