1. SUMMARY OF CASE: Advocate Akhu represents the Prosecution in the case of Ghulam Qadir v. The State (2026), where Ghulam Qadir is accused of murder under Section 302 of the Pakistan Penal Code. Ghulam Qadir was apprehended with the weapon on July 28, 2026. Advocate Bakhu, representing the Defense, argues that Ghulam Qadir acted in self-defense under Section 96 of the PPC, as the deceased had attacked first with a knife. 2. EVALUATION OF PROSECUTION'S CASE (ADVOCATE AKHU): Advocate Akhu asserts that Ghulam Qadir's actions constitute murder under Section 302 of the PPC. The Prosecution has presented evidence of Ghulam Qadir's possession of the weapon and the circumstances of the encounter. However, the Prosecution has not provided substantial evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Ghulam Qadir was not acting in self-defense. 3. EVALUATION OF DEFENSE'S CASE (ADVOCATE BAKHU): Advocate Bakhu argues that Ghulam Qadir was acting in self-defense under Section 96 of the PPC. The Defense has presented evidence that the deceased had attacked first with a knife, and Ghulam Qadir's actions were a reasonable response to protect himself. The Defense also cites the precedent set in Ghulam Qadir v. The State (2008) where self-defense was accepted under similar circumstances. 4. STATUTORY APPLICATION: The Prosecution must prove Ghulam Qadir's guilt beyond reasonable doubt under Section 265-K CrPC. The Defense only needs to raise a plausible claim of self-defense under Section 96 PPC. The right to self-defense extends to causing death under Section 100 PPC. 5. FINAL VERDICT & ORDER: The Defense has raised a plausible claim of self-defense. The Prosecution has failed to disprove it beyond reasonable doubt. Ghulam Qadir must be acquitted under Section 265-K CrPC.
