Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD IMRAN alias MANA VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), S. 164---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Confession of the accused---Accused was charged that he along with his wife committed murder of the father of the complainant---Prosecution case was that the accused had first thrown chillies in the eyes of the deceased and then done him to death---Confession of the accused did not mention such modus operandi---Neither were chillies found from the place of incident nor did the Medical Officer doing the post-mortem notice any such signs on the body or eyes of the deceased---Medical Officer perhaps did not find any because the body was decomposed but why the police did not find any on the scene of the crime made the genuineness and veracity of the alleged confession doubtful---Laboratory where the carpet and sheet were sent for analysis also did not find the presence of red chillies on those items---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed accordingly.
