ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court has held that frightful nature of a crime should not blur the eyes of justice or allow emotions triggered by the horrifying nature of an offence to prejudge the accused.
“Cases are to be decided on the basis of evidence and evidence alone and not on the basis of sentiments and emotions,” Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah observed in a detailed judgement he authored. He said that no matter how heinous the crime, the constitutional guarantee of fair trial under Article 10A could not be taken away from the accused.

RAWALPINDI: Trucks and other goods transport vehicles have come up with a novel idea of dumping construction waste on the banks of Leh Nullah to create space for parking their vehicles in the congested Raja Bazaar and other areas.
Just behind Ganjmandi police station and near a bridge, loading vehicles can be seen parked along Leh Nullah.
This has reduced the width of the nullah that can create problems in case of heavy rains.
