Summary A life imprisonment prisoner was acquitted after spending 11 years in jail.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Supreme Court (SC) on Friday acquitted a death row and life imprisonment prisoner.

The life imprisonment prisoner was acquitted after spending 11 years in jail over benefit of doubt. The accused Muhammad Anar was suspected of killing his beloved husband.

Justice Asif Saeed Khosa remarked that the suspect spends his time in prison while no action is taken against a dishonest plaintiff.

He said that the statements of witnesses are not trustworthy.

In another case, SC nullified the verdict of Lahore High Court (LHC) and released a kidnapping for ransom suspect Muhammad Shahid.

The judge said that police made up a fabricated story as neither the police was informed of the abduction nor the hostage was recovered from the possession of the suspect.
