Joint extra-judicial confession is inadmissible.

15. According to the prosecution, the Appellant made extrajudicial confession before Muhammad Mansha (PW-11), who was a cousin of PW Muhammad Ijaz. The said witness categorically admitted that the Appellant and his co-accused, including, Muhammad Sarwar (since acquitted), Salamat Ali and Abdul Aziz, jointly made the alleged confession. Criminal jurisprudence has by now well settled that a joint extra-judicial confession is inadmissible. Reliance is placed on The State v. Kamal Khan alias Maloo and another (1993 SCMR 1378) and Abdul Razzaq v. The State (2009 YLR 756).
