Judgment text as reported

RIAZ VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Preliminary inquiry---Scope---Accused were charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by firing---Complainant had admitted arrest of 5/6 accused by police on the spot soon after the occurrence---Police had visited the spot soon after the occurrence and it appeared that by that time complainant had no knowledge about the assailants---Report was wilfully delayed by police by concealing the real facts and preliminary inquiry was conducted whereafter the complainant charged the present accused after speculation and deliberation---Though preliminary inquiry by itself' was not a sufficient ground for disbelieving the prosecution story but in such situation presence of the eye-witnesses became doubtful and the Courts were required to scrutinize the evidence with great care and caution for arriving at a fair conclusion---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused beyond shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
