ORDER 
 
  
 
Qazi Muhammad Amin Ahmed, J.- Abdullah Jan, 
appellant herein, is in receipt of a guilty verdict returned by 
learned 
Judge, 
Accountability 
Court 
No.1, 
Peshawar 
vide 
impugned judgment dated 13.9.2013. As a Store Keeper in 
Communication & Works Department, he was found to have 
accumulated assets, hugely disproportionate to his legitimate 
source of income. Feeling aggrieved, the appellant questioned vires 
of his conviction before the Peshawar High Court; the attempt met 
with no better fate as the learned High Court concurred with the 
findings recorded by the learned trial Court vide judgment dated 
14.12.2011. 
2. 
 
We have noticed that the learned High Court while 
affirming findings rendered by the learned Accountability Court 
has not discussed evidence adduced by the prosecution as well as 
the appellant and thus we feel handicapped to objectively verify the 
points of determination as well as contentions raised by the 
appellant and therefore consider it in the fitness of things to remit 
Criminal Appeal No.19-P/2014 
 
2
this matter to the learned High Court so as to benefit us with 
detailed discussion within the contemplation of Section 367 of the 
Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898. This appeal is allowed, the 
impugned judgment is set aside, the case is remanded and shall be 
deemed to be pending for decision afresh. It is expected that the 
learned High Court would find it convenient, in the fullness of 
time, sooner rather than later, to decide the issue, after affording 
opportunity of hearing to the appellant.
