Judgment text as reported

Fazal nawaz alias muhammad shafi VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Deliberation and consultation in lodging the FIR---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---Scribe openly acknowledged that he first inspected the deceased's body and subsequently drafted the complainant's report at the spot---Scribe also admitted to have noticed the crime empties at the spot, but explained that he left them for the Investigating Officer to collect---Such admission raised concerns, as it suggested that the report was lodged after the preliminary investigation, a procedural misstep that had consistently been deemed detrimental to the prosecution's case---If the complainant had indeed been present with the deceased, it would be expected for him to accompany the dead body of his real brother to the hospital---However, complainant claimed to have stayed at the spot while the deceased was taken to the hospital, which appeared unnatural given the clos relationship between them---This was another circumstance which raised doubt qua the presence of the complainant---Appeal was allowed, in circumstances.
