Islamabad (October 27, 2026): The Supreme Court annulled the decision of the trial court and the High Court in the case of the murder of 25-year-old girl Saima Bibi and acquitted the accused Manwar Hussain on the basis of suspicion.
The Supreme Court annulled the decision of the trial court and the High Court in the murder case of 25-year-old girl Saima Bibi and acquitted the accused Manwar Hussain on the basis of suspicion. The court has ordered that if the accused is not wanted in any other case, he should be released immediately.
The incident took place in a village in Faisalabad in 2016 where Saima Bibi was stabbed to death. The trial court had sentenced the accused to life imprisonment, which was later upheld by the High Court, but now the Supreme Court has annulled the verdicts of both the courts.
During the hearing, the plaintiff's lawyer told the court that the accused was a neighbor of the victim and had an evil eye on her. They took the stand that the accused killed her with a knife, and the victim's husband, brother-in-law and a third person were witnesses to the incident, while the victim was tied to a cot by putting a dupatta around her neck before the murder.
Justice Malik Shehzad, who heard the case, asked the plaintiff's lawyer that according to the FIR, the accused was alone while there were three witnesses to the incident, so why didn't the husband, brother-in-law and the third person stop the accused at the time of the incident? He remarked that the victim was being slaughtered and the eyewitnesses remained silent spectators.
