TAJ MUHAMMAD VS State S. 302(b)--- Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Site plan---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by firing---Motive alleged was that the accused had borrowed an amount of Rs. 50,000/- from complainant and on demand for its return, accused was insulted by deceased---Prosecution's case was that deceased was present at crime scene on his rickshaw---Said rickshaw was not produced by the complainant during investigation---Even its documents were not placed for consideration before the Investigating Officer---Investigating Officer in cross-examination specifically replied that he had not shown any rickshaw in rough site plan---Same position was there in the scaled site plan---Circumstances always played an important role in corroboration to the ocular account, however, it was not the case of prosecution that someone had taken the rickshaw from there, so the question was unanswered that where that rickshaw was---Said fact had also created serious dents in prosecution's story---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused beyond any shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
