Judgment text as reported

ZAFAR IQBAL VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Accused was charged for committing murder of the father of complainant by firing---Delay of about one hour and fifty five minutes in lodging the FIR---Scope---Record showed that the incident occurred at 05:00 p.m., whereas the report was made at 06:55 p.m., but that could not be taken to hold that the report was made after preliminary investigation or that the accused was charged after consultation and deliberation, as it could not be forgotten that the incident occurred in a remote village with no cellular facilities---Absence of such facility excluded the possibility that someone from the village might have informed the complainant---Absence of cellular facility in the village was confirmed by the witnesses who stated that after putting the dead-body in a vehicle for Police Station, when they reached the city, they received signals and informed the relatives who reached to the Police Station after the registration of FIR---Said fact was also confirmed by the Investigating Officer---Delay was nothing but natural as the incident occurred in a remote village---Circumstances established that the prosecution had succeeded in bringing home charges against the accused, through confidence inspiring evidence---Appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
