GHULAM RASOOL vs THE STATE

This matter came before the Supreme Court of Pakistan as a petition for leave to appeal in the case of Ghulam Rasool versus The State, reported in 1990 SCMR 1401. The core legal question concerned the validity of the petitioner's conviction or the legality of the lower court proceedings as challenged in the petition. The Supreme Court considered the arguments and the record, and ultimately held that the petition was devoid of merit. The court's decision was to dismiss the petition. The judgment establishes no extensive new legal principles due to its summary nature, affirming the dismissal of the proceedings at the leave stage.
