ORDER  
 
 
Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed, J-. Respondent was tried by 
a learned Additional Sessions Judge at Matta, Swat for committing Qatl-i-
Amd of Mst. Rekhma, no other than his better half; he himself reported the 
incident to the police on 28.6.2012, alleging suicide, turned out as homicide 
during investigation; upon indictment, he was sentenced to imprisonment 
for life vide judgment dated 13.12.2012, however, a Division Bench of 
Peshawar High Court, Mingora Bench considering the death as suicidal 
acquitted him from the charge vide impugned judgment dated 10.12.2014, 
vires whereof, are being assailed, primarily, on the ground that autopsy 
report conclusively ruled out possibility of suicide as the medical officer 
noted a complete scar, without obliquity, around the neck, unambiguously 
suggesting manual constriction of the neck with a ligature, a circumstance 
that escaped notice by the High Court and, thus, clamours for explanation 
from the respondent with whom she spent her last moments under the 
same roof. Leave is granted to consider, inter alia, the above contention with 
Cr.P.6-P/2015 
2
a view to secure the ends of justice. Send for the respondents through 
bailable warrant in the sum of Rs.200,000/- with one surety in the like 
amount, returnable to the Assistant Registrar of this Court at Peshawar, to 
be executed by the Station House Officer, within a fortnight.
