Judgment text as reported

Khalid Zafar VS State Ss. 302(b), 324, 397 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, robbery or dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Recovery of pistol from the possession of accused---Inconsequential---Accused was charged for making firing upon complainant and his brother while looting money and mobile cards from them, due to which complainant sustained firearm injuries while his brother died---Record showed that a pistol was allegedly recovered from the accused at the time of his arrest in the other case fifteen days later but there was no evidence that the said pistol was kept in safe custody before it was sent to Forensic Science Laboratory along with the earlier recovered empties (or that they were kept in safe custody) which made the Forensic Science Laboratory Report doubtful as it could easily have been managed especially as the pistol along with empties were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory after a delay of thirteen days after recovering the pistol---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
