Judgment text as reported

RIAZ AHMED alias KIRSH VS State S. 34---Searches and arrest---Non-association of independent witnesses---Effect---Evidence of police officials is as good as that of a private person and the evidence of police officials cannot be discarded simply because they belong to police force and the court should not start with any presumption against them, however, in case of recovery of arms where the fate of an accused person hinges upon the testimony of police officials alone, it is essential to find out if there is any possibility of securing independent persons at the time of recovery---Conviction or acquittal of an accused person depends upon the credibility of the witnesses as assessed by the court but where it is possible for the police officials to call independent witnesses to act as mashir but they deliberately avoid, the court has to be careful in weighing such evidence.
