MUHAMMAD MASTAN versus STATE
The Crimes of Adultery (Enforcement Hood) Ordinance 1979 Section 12 Criminal Procedure Code (XLV of 1860), Sections 377 Criminal Procedure Code (V9 1898), Sections 239 and 537 combined for the connection of abductions and two different victims on different dates. Separate proceedings did not result in a single transaction; their joint trial by the trial court was an irregularity that was untenable under section 3737, CRPC, and proceedings from the stage of indictment in the joint trial. Had no legal consequences. As a result, the conviction and sentence of the accused were set aside and the case was remanded to the trial court, as per the law.
