ABDUL HALEEM VS State Ss. 302 & 34---Qatl-i-amd and common intention--- Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Delayed FIR--- Contradictory statements of witnesses---Un-natural conduct of witnesses---Scope---Accused persons were alleged to have indiscriminately fired at the deceased within the view of eye-witnesses---Exact time of occurrence was not established---Statements of witnesses and Investigating Officers were contradictory to that extent---Delay in lodging the report in view of peculiar facts and circumstances of the case had gained much significance, as such, the factors of deliberation consultation and preliminary investigation could not be ruled out---Despite alleged indiscriminate firing by three accused persons none of the prosecution witnesses tried to escape or even got hit with a single fire shot rather they surprisingly stood firm to watch minutely that the fire shot of main accused hit the deceased on his head, which in the ordinary course of life was impossible---Occurrence had not taken place in the mode and manner as alleged by the eye-witnesses---Prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt---Appeal against acquittal was dismissed, in circumstances.
