Judgment text as reported

GUL HASSAN alias GULAN VS State S. 302(b)--- Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Chance witness---No justification for being present at the place of occurrence---Accused was charged for committing murder of two persons by dagger blows to grab money---Daughter of the deceased was said to be eye-witness of the incident---Said daughter had no reason to be with the deceased at the relevant time---Nothing had been brought on record which could suggest that said girl actually was adopted by the deceased as their daughter---Had said daughter been there at the place of incident, she would not have been let alive by the culprit to implicate him in double murder case---Availability of daughter of deceased at the place of incident appeared to be doubtful---Said girl had stated that she had intimated to the "Mohalla" people after sunrise, who informed the police and the complainant party---No person from the "Mohallah" had been examined by the prosecution to lend support to such assertion of said witness, which appeared to be significant---Such evidence, in circumstances, could not be believed---Appeal was allowed and accused was acquitted.
