MUHAMMAD YAQOOB VS State Ss. 302(b), 363 & 377---Qatl-i-amd, kidnapping, unnatural offence---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Accused pointing out the place of occurrence and place of throwing dead body of the deceased---Reliance---Prosecution case was that accused allegedly kidnapped the minor son of complainant, committed unnatural offence and then murdered him---Prosecution had alleged that the place of crime and place where the dead body of the deceased was thrown had been pointed out by the accused but no incriminating material was recovered from the place of occurrence, as well as from the place where the dead body of the deceased was allegedly thrown---Further according to the prosecution case, on 22.04.2016, the accused pointed out the place of throwing of the dead body of minor deceased, whereas, the dead body was already recovered on 02.10.2015 and as such, the place of throwing of the dead body was already in the knowledge of the prosecution and no new fact was discovered or any recovery was effected from the said places---Thus, the said pieces of evidence were inconsequential for the prosecution case---Circumstances established that the prosecution failed to prove its case against the accused beyond the shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed accordingly.
