ORDER

' MUHAMMAD QAIM JAN KHAN, J.--- Learned counsel for the petitioner stressed that there is a great delay of 18 hours in lodging the F.I.R.; one Shah Nawaz was charged for the murder of deceased; it is a night occurrence and the alleged confession is the result of coercion.

2. On the other hand, learned Additional Advocate-General argued that confessional statement has been recorded on the very next day and no question of coercion can arise; that the evidence is duly corroborated with recovery and also supported by medical evidence.

3. In order to thrash out the real facts and reach the correct conclusion in accordance with the laid down principles of safe administration of criminal justice, leave is hereby granted.
