Judgment text as reported

HYDER ALI VS State Ss. 302(b) & 210---Qatl-i-amd, causing disappearance of evidence of offence, or giving false information to screen offender---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Accused was charged for committing murder of his wife---Admittedly, there was no eye-witness of the incident and the FIR was registered by police on spy information---Complainant on receipt of information went to the place of incident which was stated to be the house of accused, but complainant did not enter the house to verify the information received by him nor he inquired from the adjacent houses---Conduct of the complainant, who was a Police Officer, seemed to be doubtful in the given circumstances---Empties and the blood from the house where incident stated to have taken place were not recovered---Even it was not established from the evidence of the witnesses that where and in what manner the incident took place---No independent witnesses were examined including the close relatives of the deceased, who knew that the deceased died and was buried in the graveyard and they also knew that where the graveyard was located---Said fact created very serious doubt in the prosecution case---Complainant also admitted during cross-examination that the relatives of the deceased also came at the time of exhumation of the dead body but he failed to record their statements---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to connect the neck of the accused with the crime in any manner whatsoever---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
