Summary
This case involves appeals against the conviction of Mannan s/o Hussain @ Hassan, Basheer s/o Hussain @ Hassan, and Yousuf Khan s/o Younus Khan for the murder of Moosa and causing injuries to others, following an incident at Sea View, Clifton, Karachi. The trial court convicted the appellants for murder, attempted murder, and causing injuries, sentencing Mannan to death (subject to confirmation by the High Court) and others to long terms of imprisonment, along with payment of compensation (Daman) to the victims.
The incident occurred on 25.08.2019, when a quarrel escalated into a violent attack involving knives and pistols. The prosecution presented multiple eyewitnesses, including injured parties, whose evidence was found credible and consistent with medical and circumstantial evidence. The defense argued false implication, lack of proper identification due to poor lighting, and absence of weapon recovery. The court, after reviewing the evidence, upheld the convictions, finding the prosecution’s case proven beyond reasonable doubt.
