This is a petition for leave to appeal against the impugned judgment of the High Court.
2. Learned counsel has submitted that Karim Bakhsh P. W.1 is the nephew of the deceased while Ghulam Akbar P.W.2 is his uncle. Both the witnesses are, therefore, interested and their evidence is surely in need of corroboration which is missing from this case. It is added that recovery and motive have not been proved by the prosecution. Learned counsel has submitted that the prosecution has not been able to prove its case against the petitioners beyond reasonable doubt.
3. The points raised by the learned counsel need examination. Leave is, therefore, granted to reappraise the prosecution evidence to ensure fair administration of justice.
