| Decision |
The appeal was dismissed, and the death sentence awarded to the appellants was confirmed. The court found sufficient evidence against the appellants, including ocular testimony from witnesses, medical evidence, and recovery of incriminating articles. The learned Additional Sessions Judge's rejection of the judicial confession was upheld due to concerns regarding its truthfulness and voluntariness. The evidence presented established the guilt of the appellants beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to the confirmation of their sentences. |
| Summary |
In the case of Muhram and Another vs The State, the Sindh High Court reviewed the murder conviction of the appellants who were sentenced to death for the murder of Razi. The incident occurred on June 16-17, 1975, where the appellants allegedly attacked Razi with hatchets in the presence of witnesses, including Mst. Anwar, Razi's wife. The court considered the ocular evidence credible despite the witnesses being related to the deceased and the accused. Medical evidence corroborated the cause of death as inflicted by sharp weapons, and the recovery of blood-stained items further implicated the appellants. The court dismissed claims of false implication and upheld the conviction, emphasizing the motive related to familial disputes over marriage and property.
