MUHAMMAD BILAL VS State Ss. 302(b), 337-F(i) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, shajjah-e-madihah, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Safe custody of weapon of offence and its safe transmission to the laboratory not established---Prosecution case was that the accused persons equipped with knives attacked upon complainant party, due to which one died and another sustained injuries---As regards to the alleged recovery of knife from the pointation of accused during the investigation and its subsequent matching with the blood, suffice to observe that the Investigating Officer kept the said knife with the moharer for safe custody, whereafter its safe transmission to the Forensic Science Laboratory had never been proved by the prosecution before the trial Court through production of any witness concerned with such custody and transmission---Record further revealed that the said knife and bloodstained clothes were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory after delay of 33 days, without any plausible explanation, which created doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
