Judgment text as reported

RASHID AHMED VS State Benefit of doubt---Effect---Responsi-bility to prove a case beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt squarely lies with prosecution---If prosecution fails to successfully discharge its responsibility, the only result can be extension of benefit of doubt to accused person---Multiple doubts are not required, even a single circumstance creating doubt in a prudent mind is sufficient to extend benefit of doubt---In case of doubt, benefit thereof must accrue in favour of accused as matter of right and not of grace.
