Judgment text as reported

Citation Name: 2024 YLR 235 PESHAWAR-HIGH-COURTBookmark this Case JAVED AWAN VS State S. 15--- Possession of unlicensed arms--- Appreciation of evidence---Police Officials as witnesses---Prosecution case was that one 30-bore unlicensed pistol along with four cartridges loaded in a magazine and six cartridges of the same bore were recovered from the possession of the accused---Although both the marginal witnesses to the recovery memo vide which the weapon of offence was taken into possession by the complainant, were Police Officials, however, the testimonies of Police Officials were as good as any other private witness unless it was proved that they had any animosity against the accused---Further, that reluctance of general public to become witness in such like cases had become judicially recognized fact and there was no way out to consider statement of official witnesses, as no legal embargo was imposed in that respect---Police Officials were as good witnesses and could be relied upon, if their testimony remained unshattered during cross-examination---In the present case, defence had failed to substantiate that the prosecution witnesses had any ill-will or animosity towards the accused to falsely implicate him---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused beyond shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was accordingly dismissed.
