Judgment text as reported

ZAHOOR AHMED VS State Ss. 365-a, 395, 342 & 149---anti-Terrorism act (XXVII of 1997), S. 7---Kidnapping or abducting for extorting property, valuable securities, dacoity, wrongful confinement, unlawful assembly, acts of terrorism---appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Prosecution case was that the accused kept the complainant and his cousin in their captivity for a period of one month and twenty three days and demanded ransom, which was paid and when the accused were about to release the abductees, police came to the scene and an encounter took place---Record showed that the alleged abduction took place from a bus stop at National Highway but the prosecution could not collect or produce any evidence regarding that effect---Nevertheless, even from a populous area, it was hard for the prosecution to collect and present the evidence of such type of offences in the shape of eye-witnesses and the same might be over looked but there were other aspects of the case, which required consideration---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused---appeal was allowed and accused were acquitted by setting aside conviction and sentences recorded by the Trial Court.
