1. SUMMARY OF CASE: Advocate Ali represents the State in a case where the accused, on July 28, 2026, was found with a weapon and charged under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which pertains to murder. Advocate Adi, representing the accused, contends that the death was in self-defense, as the deceased had previously attacked with a knife. 2. EVALUATION OF PROSECUTION'S CASE (ADVOCATE ALI): Advocate Ali argues that the evidence presented, including the weapon found with the accused, is sufficient to establish guilt beyond reasonable doubt. The prosecution emphasizes the severity of the crime and the need for justice to be served. 3. EVALUATION OF DEFENSE'S CASE (ADVOCATE ADI): Advocate Adi presents the self-defense claim, supported by the fact that the deceased had previously attacked with a knife. The defense argues that the accused's actions were a necessary response to an immediate threat to life, as per Section 96 of the PPC. 4. STATUTORY APPLICATION: Section 96 of the PPC allows for self-defense when an individual reasonably believes it necessary to protect themselves from harm. However, the right to self-defense does not extend to causing death, which is covered under Section 100 of the PPC. 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. The accused must be acquitted under Section 265-K CrPC.
