Leave is granted for reappraisal of evidence and to consider; whether, the judgment of the trial Court convicting the accused/respondents on a charge of murder could be reversed by the learned High Court of Sindh at Karachi, when such conviction was based on reasonable and manifestly sound grounds supported by the evidence on record. And as to whether the reasons for acquittal given by the High Court for upsetting the same are arbitrary, contrary to the record and are based on conjectures and surmises. ' Non-bailable warrants shall issue against the respondents.
