The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an agreement between the heirs and the accused through the video link in a murder case.
A three-member bench headed by Justice Hassan Azhar Rizvi heard the issue of consent between the accused and heirs in a murder case.
During hearing, Justice Rizvi remarked that it could not be confirmed through video link whether the heirs of the deceased entered into the consent under pressure or of their own free will.
Justice Naeem Akhtar Afghan remarked that unless the relatives of the deceased appear in the sessions court in person and confirm the consent, there is no consent.
