Conviction without substantial evidence is not possible

By
One of the basic principles of criminal law is that the conviction of accused is not possible in the absence of substantial evidence. Substantial evident is the one which itself is of convicting nature. If evidence is corroborative or contradictory then conviction is not possible.

If in a case there are photocopies of documents and original documents are not presented at any forum, on such evidence conviction of accused is not possible. Reliance should be made on the original documents for conviction of accused.

It is the duty of prosecution to prove its case beyond the shadow of any doubt. The absence of substantial evidence creates doubts and benefit of doubt goes to accused in such circumstances

Divorce is not possible during pregnancy

By
A Muslim woman cannot be divorced during pregnancy. If a husband pronounces divorce to his wife during pregnancy, it is immaterial till delivery. However, if after delivery of child, it is not reconciled within 90 days, it becomes divorce. The reason is that the Iddah of a Muslim woman is 90 days after pronouncement of divorce by the husband. If divorce is pronounced to a Muslim wife during pregnancy, it becomes effective automatically after the end of pregnancy. The iddat of such lady starts from that day and if the divorce is not revoked in such time period of 90 days, then it becomes complete divorce. Once a women completes her Iddat after divorce, it means the divorce is final and irrevocable between parties. For  more , you can consult omara.khan789@gmail.com or call +923123450006
