1. SUMMARY OF CASE: Advocate Ali represents the State in a case where the accused, herein referred to as Defendant, is charged with murder under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). The incident occurred on July 28, 2026, when Defendant was found with a weapon, leading to the immediate arrest. The Prosecution argues for capital punishment, while the Defense claims the act was in self-defense under Section 96 of the PPC. 2. EVALUATION OF PROSECUTION'S CASE (ADVOCATE ALI): Advocate Ali asserts that the evidence is clear and irrefutable, showing the Defendant in possession of a weapon at the time of the incident. The Prosecution emphasizes the severity of the crime and the need for justice to be served, arguing that the Defendant's actions were premeditated and malicious. 3. EVALUATION OF DEFENSE'S CASE (ADVOCATE WAFA): Advocate Wafa contends that the Defendant acted in self-defense, as the deceased was armed and posed an imminent threat. The Defense argues that the act was not premeditated but a necessary response to an unprovoked attack, and thus, the Defendant should not be held criminally responsible for the death of the deceased. 4. STATUTORY APPLICATION: The Prosecution relies on Section 302 of the PPC, which prescribes capital punishment for murder. The Defense invokes Section 96 of the PPC, which allows for self-defense, and Section 100, which extends this right to causing death. The Defense also references Ghulam Qadir v. The State (2008 SCMR 1221) as a precedent where self-defense was accepted under similar circumstances. 5. FINAL VERDICT & ORDER: The Defense has raised a plausible claim of self-defense under Section 96 PPC. The Prosecution has failed to disprove self-defense beyond reasonable doubt. Accordingly, the accused must be acquitted under Section 265-K CrPC.
