Sea change of attitude..The Supreme Court on Thursday released a blasphemy accused setting aside a Lahore High Court judgment, which had upheld the death sentence awarded to accuse by the trial court. The three-member full bench of the apex court comprising Justice Nazim Hussain Siddiqui, Justice Qazi Muhammad Farooq and Justice Mian Mohammad Ajmal ordered that the appellant Ayub Masih be released forthwith if not required in any other case. Senior lawyer Abid Hasan Minto appeared on behalf of the accused and submitted before the Court that the allegations of blasphemy were leveled against him by the persons who were interested in getting his residential land. He said that the complainant Muhammad Akram, after getting the accused arrested forcibly evicted his family from the premises they were occupying and within two months applied for the transfer of ownership of land under 7-marla scheme.
