(Muhammad Imran.v. The State & another)
Law: Pakistan Penal Code (PPC),1860
Section: 324 ,337F(vi), 382-B
SUMMARY:Acquittal granted
The petitioner, Muhammad Imran, challenged his conviction under Sections 324 and 337F(vi) PPC. He was earlier sentenced to 7 years for attempted murder and 5 years for causing hurt. The revision court found multiple flaws in the prosecution's case: unexplained delay in FIR registration, delayed witness statements, contradictions between medical and ocular evidence, and lack of forensic proof linking the weapon to the injury. The court held that the evidence did not meet the legal standard for conviction and acquitted the petitioner, extending him the benefit of doubt.
