Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD NAWAZ VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Presence of eye-witnesses at the spot was doubtful---Scope---Accused were charged that they in furtherance of their common intention committed murder of the daughter of the complainant by firing---If the eye-witnesses were present at the spot at the time of occurrence, then they would have provided the medical aid to the deceased in order to save her life and stopped her bleeding because injury sustained by deceased was on her right thigh which was a non-vital part of her body---Even Medical Officer stated that if any injured in such case remained unattended for one to two hours then his/her death might occur on account of loss of blood---In order to establish their presence at the spot at the relevant time and to show that eye-witnesses tried to stop the bleeding of deceased, complainant stated that the Medical Officer had bandaged the wound of the injured and thereafter, referred her to the other hospital---Medical Officer stated that wounds of the deceased were neither stitched nor bandaged---Eye-witnesses were not present at the spot at the relevant time and death occurred on account of her excessive bleedings as she remained un-attended for a considerable period---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused beyond shadow of doubt---Appeal was allowed and accused was acquitted by setting aside convictions and sentences recorded by the Trial Court, in circumstances.
