She was a final-year student of the Sindhi department. Days later, police&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1306787\">arrested<\/a>&nbsp;Anees Khaskheli, a private school teacher, based on data retrieved from Naila\u2019s mobile phone, which showed frequent communication between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January 2023, an anti-terrorism court (ATC) had&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1734451\">sentenced<\/a>&nbsp;Anees under Section 7-A (acts of terrorism) of the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nacta.gov.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Anti-Terrorism-Act-1997.pdf\">Anti-Terrorism Act 1997<\/a>, read with Section 321 [<em>Qatl-bis-sabab<\/em>&nbsp;(causing death to a person unintentionally)] of the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fmu.gov.pk\/docs\/laws\/Pakistan%20Penal%20Code.pdf\">Pakistan Penal Code<\/a>&nbsp;(PPC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was also found guilty of committing offences under Sections 21(b) and (c) (cyberstalking) of the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.na.gov.pk\/uploads\/documents\/1470910659_707.pdf\">Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) 2016<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same year, Anees challenged his conviction before the SHC. On Monday, a division bench comprising Justice Amjad Ali Bohio and Justice Mohammad Hasan Akber announced the verdict in the appeal heard by a bench consisting of Justices Omar Sial and Mohammad Abdur Rahman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judgment was authored by Justice Sial after his bench partially heard the matter at the Hyderabad bench. With permission of the SHC chief justice, the case was transferred to the principal seat, where the bench completed the proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the judgment, a copy of which is available with&nbsp;<em>Dawn<\/em>, the bench noted that an offence under the ATA had not been proven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo dissemination or public display of photos was proved. Blackmail was not proved,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court further said that no \u201cunlawful act\u201d on Anees\u2019s part was proven, and that the prosecution \u201cfailed to prove its case beyond [a] reasonable doubt\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advocates Waqar Siyal, Zeeshan and Muhammad Faheem represented Anees, while Additional Prosecutor General Nazar Memon argued on behalf of the complainant, Naila\u2019s brother Nisar Ahmed, who did not wish to engage private counsel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lawyers Mehmood Akhtar Qureshi, Faisal Siddiqui, Sara Malkani and Maliha Zia assisted as amicus curiae upon the court\u2019s request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verdict noted: \u201cWhile Anees and Naila shared a personal relationship marked by the typical ups and downs of such relationships, the existence of their private communication alone does not inherently tie him to her tragic decision to commit suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPersonal communications including, but not limited to, electronic messages showing private interactions between a young couple cannot ipso facto establish legal or moral culpability for her death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It observed that objective evidence must be evaluated to determine whether there was any \u201cactual instigation or legal wrongdoing, rather than relying on blame or assumptions\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order recalled that Anees had \u201cprofessed innocence\u201d in his statement recorded under Section 342 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) before he was convicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bench analysed a call data record showing contact between Naila and Anees, personal photos recovered from Anees\u2019s phone, WhatsApp messages, and testimonies from Naila\u2019s brother, father and uncle \u2014 on which the police had relied and the prosecution had based its case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Justice Sial wrote there was no direct evidence found in the case, which \u201chinges on the investigating officer\u2019s testimony\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that Naila\u2019s brothers, father and uncle only testified that she appeared worried when she visited home about a week before her death and mentioned that someone from a specific phone number was bothering her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe find the account of events of the family members of Naila and of [her friend] Saima Hussain to be afterthoughts that seem to have been tailored to align with the investigating officer\u2019s (IO\u2019s) theory,\u201d the judge wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noting there was \u201cserious doubt\u201d about the authenticity of the accounts related to the phone number, the judge stated, \u201cIn any event, even if the number were correctly identified, that fact alone would not establish that Anees had \u2018killed\u2019 Naila.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Notably, the bench said it was \u201cunable to comprehend how the trial court concluded this was a terrorism offence\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It observed that the trial did not explain how the requisite intent and design to create fear and insecurity in the community was established. \u201cEvery serious crime causes trauma to those involved; that alone does not make it terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the bench noted that the police did not have the jurisdiction to investigate cybercrime offences, it did not issue a finding on the legal effect of a police investigation into an FIA-scheduled offence. This was because there \u201cmay have been some ambiguity\u201d during the critical investigative period of 2016-2018 as the FIA was formally designated for it in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verdict termed IO Tahir Mughal as the \u201cmost important\u201d witness, noting that the prosecution\u2019s entire case rested on his theory about what happened between Naila and Anees based on their messages from Dec 31, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe prosecution\u2019s entire case rests on Tahir\u2019s theory that because Naila did not come out to meet Anees, Anees sent her private photos and threatened to disseminate them,\u201d it read, adding that it was on record that \u201cprivate photos of both Naila and Anees were recovered from Anees\u2019s phone\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The verdict said the IO acknowledged he did not pursue the matter of Naila\u2019s communication with the then-dean of faculty at SU, which the order said was \u201can unusual relationship\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The court noted that the mobile phone recovered from Anees, which was confirmed in the IO\u2019s testimony, was of a different brand than the two phones sent for forensic analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather, the prosecution said those two devices belonged to Naila, which meant \u201cthe private photos were on her phone, and there is nothing to show \u2014 other than photos solely of Anees \u2014 that Anees had sent them to her\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bench said the prosecution relied on two sets of WhatsApp messages, one of which appeared to be a genuine exchange between Anees and Naila from Dec 31, 2016 but did not \u201cremotely suggest Anees threatened to disseminate any private photos\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other set of messages, shown in screenshots, had \u201coblique references appear to someone threatening to disseminate photos\u201d but they referred to persons named Zain and Zainab and made \u201cno connection to Anees or Naila\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While forensic data recovery confirmed that personal photos were exchanged, the bench noted that the mere possession of such pictures \u2014 without their dissemination or their use for blackmail \u2014 was not an unlawful act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the verdict, Justice Sial said the Hyderabad deputy inspector general (DIG) at the time,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1360381#:~:text=directed%20Deputy%20Inspector%20General%20of%20Police%20(DIG)%20Hyderabad%20Khadim%20Hussain\">Khadim Hussain<\/a>, \u201crecklessly and wholly inappropriately stated that this was not a case of suicide but of murder\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt that point, not a shred of evidence supported that conclusion &#8211; nor has any emerged since. Naila\u2019s family deserved honest closure, not the prolonged emotional turmoil that followed,\u201d the judge remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About the application of PPC\u2019s Section 321, the bench referred to a recent judgment of a lower court that \u201cnoted the absence in Pakistan\u2019s law of any specific provision to punish a person who creates circumstances that compel another to take their own life\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, Justice Sial noted that the IO had produced photocopies of documents upon which the prosecution relied, stressing that trial courts must give reasons for admitting secondary evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have not ruled on the admissibility of the secondary evidence produced here because we are satisfied that, even if it were admissible, it was insufficient to establish blackmail, harassment, or threats,\u201d the order read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2015114\/shc-acquits-man-in-university-students-2017-suicide-case#constitutional-supremacy-over-majoritarian-sentiment\"><\/a>\u2018Constitutional supremacy over majoritarian sentiment\u2019<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SHC bench also issued seven directives to trial courts, which were of a general nature and not specific to Naila\u2019s case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first being: \u201cObjections raised during evidence should be decided there and then. If brief reflection is required, the objection should be resolved within one day, with the continuation of recording adjourned for that period.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was further instructed that where the prosecution relies on call data records, it should be required to identify the specific entries relied upon and which should be independently exhibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe practice of producing hundreds of pages of call logs accompanied by a blanket assertion that \u2018the record shows contact\u2019 is insufficient,\u201d the order read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It emphasised that judgments must provide reasons if a trial court departs from the principles set by the Supreme Court on admissibility of call data records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA reproduction of the evidence, followed by a general statement that \u2018the above proves the charge\u2019, does not suffice. Evidence must be legally analysed, and specific findings given,\u201d the order said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bench further ordered trial courts to \u201cgive careful attention to sentencing\u201d, highlighting that the CrPC provided ample guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It also directed trial courts to \u201cremain current on the major principles enunciated\u201d by the SC and the high courts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bench underscored that a person\u2019s dignity was \u201cconstitutionally inviolable\u201d and therefore, law enforcement agencies and the judiciary must handle material such as pictures with strict confidentiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen \u2018sensitive\u2019 photographs are introduced as evidence, the trial court and the high court must place them in a sealed, non-transparent envelope. The envelope should only be opened on a strict need-to-know basis,\u201d the judgment read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly, the bench noted that the judiciary was \u201cbound to uphold constitutional supremacy over majoritarian sentiment\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It stressed: \u201cDefending constitutional rights \u2014 particularly when counter-majoritarian \u2014 is a cornerstone of institutional stability. Sacrificing legal consistency for public acclaim constitutes a structural violation of judicial duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJudges must decide independently and must give reasons for their decisions, especially where sentences are severe.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HYDERABAD(National Times)- The Sindh High Court (SHC) on Monday acquitted a man who was handed a life\u00a0sentence\u00a0three years ago in connection with a 2017\u00a0suicide case\u00a0of a university student.
