Judgment text as reported

Syed NAJAM-UD-DIN CHISHTI VS MUHAMMAD IDREES Ss.302(b), 324, 109 & 34---Offences against Property (Enforcement of Hadood) Ordinance (VI of 1979), art. 17(4)---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, abetment, common intention, haraabah---appreciation of evidence---appeal against acquittal---Benefit of doubt---accused were charged for committing murder of the deceased and causing injury to the complainant during dacoity---Prosecution case rested on the evidence of complainant, who had not named the present respondent in his FIR and/or even in his deposition before the trial Court, rather he went on to depose that there were two culprits, who had committed the offence and he had not identified them due to the fact that their faces were muffled---Except the retracted confessional statements of convicted co-accused persons, which would merely be a corroboratory piece of evidence, there was no other direct or circumstantial evidence, connecting accused-respondent with the commission of the subject crime---No evidence was available on record to record conviction against accused-respondent---Trial Court, in circumstances, was right in acquitting accused-respondent by extending him benefit of doubt as the prosecution had failed to prove its case against him beyond the reasonable doubt---appeal was dismissed accordingly.
