Petitioner approaches SC to overturn IHC’s acquittal of accused in domestic violence case

A victim of domestic violence has approached the Supreme Court to overturn the Islamabad High Court's acquittal of her in-law, Naheed Ahmed, who assaulted her in 2023. The case involves repeated violence by Ahmed, with prior allegations of similar offenses against another family member. Lower courts convicted Ahmed for hurt offenses, but the High Court acquittal prompted the Supreme Court appeal.
