Re: punishment in murder case

Capital punishment may be awarded, in a first decree murder proven beyond reasonable doubt by the prosecution.

Every independent case has its own set of facts, circumstances and case / trial swings between innocence to conviction with open doors of qisas & tazir. it seems that you have access to the book of Pakistan Penal Code, to have a clear out line in respect of your question it is suggested that if you may like to you can study from section 300 to 324 PPC.

you are free to contact to discuss further in this regard if you wish to.
