The Court has noted that the prosecution has failed to prove the charge against the appellants beyond a reasonable doubt. The Court has also dismissed all sorts of punishments sentenced to them earlier. The Trial Court had sentenced nine-year imprisonment to all the 6 terrorists along with Hafiz Saeed.
