Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD RAMZAN VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---Perusal of record showed that the deceased, when still alive, was brought to the hospital by individuals other than those mentioned in the crime report---Entire family comprising of four brothers had been aligned in the crime report, each armed with a club and alleged to have taken on the deceased, therefore, the solitary wound on the deceased did not correspond with such an array and, thus, argument that the prosecution had cast a wider net merited serious consideration---One of the acquitted co-accused received a head injury during the brawl for which the prosecution had not taken the investigating agency or the Court into confidence---Such circumstances adversely affected the prosecution story, which was calculated to withhold relevant details of the events that occurred on the fateful day---Petition for leave to appeal was converted into appeal and allowed, and the accused was acquitted of the charge.
