The petitioner had taken a plea which is having no support from any evidence either from the defence or even by inference from the prosecution.

The plea raised by the appellants in their statements under section 342, Cr.P.C. or through suggestions put to the prosecution witnesses in crossexamination is not borne out from the record of evidence available. The August Supreme Court of Pakistan in the case of Shahid Ghafoor Vs. the State (2007 SCMR 1338) has held as under:- 

“ The petitioner had taken a plea which is having no support from any evidence either from the defence or even by inference from the prosecution.”
