To grasp the
proposition, it is essentially required to see what prosecution means.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Muhammad
Ashraf and others v. The State (1995 SCMR 626) while expounding
upon the expression “prosecution” held as under:-
“By prosecution is meant a trial followed by judgment of
acquittal or punishment. It includes the entire proceedings
starting with taking cognizance of an offence by the Court,
followed by examination of evidence, addressing of arguments
and ending with the pronouncement of judgment.”
