Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of Wazir Khan for the murder of his wife, Bushra, reversing the High Court's earlier acquittal. The court found sufficient evidence to support the charges under Sections 302 and 201 of the IPC, emphasizing the gravity of the crime and the need for justice for the victim. The ruling reinforced the principle that the prosecution must prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, which was achieved in this instance.
