یہ کیس سپریم کورٹ آف پاکستان کے ایک فیصلہ 2024 S C M R 1413 پر مبنی ہے، جس میں چنزیب اختر اور دیگر کے خلاف مقدمہ زیر غور آیا۔ درج ذیل نکات اس فیصلے سے متعلق اہم ہیں:

1. کیس کی نوعیت اور شواہد

جرم: دفعہ 302(b) کے تحت قتل عمد۔

شواہد:

ملزم نے خود پولیس اسٹیشن میں حاضر ہو کر گرفتاری دی۔

ملزم کی نشاندہی پر ایک .30 بور پستول زیر تعمیر گیراج سے برآمد کی گئی۔

فارنزک رپورٹ کے مطابق جائے وقوعہ سے ملنے والے کارتوس ملزم کی برآمد شدہ پستول سے میچ کر گئے۔

ملزم کے بھائی نے ایک حلفیہ بیان کے ذریعے یہ بتایا کہ اس نے ملزم کو وقوعہ کے بعد فرار ہوتے دیکھا۔

2. عدالتی فیصلے کی بنیاد

استغاثہ نے کیس شک و شبہ سے بالاتر ثابت کیا۔

ملزم کے حق میں کوئی مواد پیش نہیں کیا گیا، بلکہ ملزم کے بھائی کا بیان بھی ملزم کے خلاف تھا۔

عدالت نے استغاثہ کے دلائل کو قبول کرتے ہوئے ملزم کی درخواستِ نظرثانی مسترد کر دی اور سزا برقرار رکھی۔

3. سزا میں نرمی کے اصول

اگر قتل کا مقصد (motive) ثابت نہ ہو اور قتل کے لیے پہلے سے ارادہ (premeditation) نہ ہو، تو سزا میں نرمی ہو سکتی ہے۔

عدالت نے نظائر (precedents) کا حوالہ دیا:

2011 SCMR 1165

2013 SCMR 1602

2024 SCMR 128
