Citation Name: 2025 MLD 953 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Obaid Muhammad Khan Niazi VS Muhammad Iqbal Ss. 302(b), 337-J, 506-B & 34---Qatl-i-amd, causing hurt by means of a poison, criminal intimidation, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Delay of more than three days in lodging the FIR---Consequential---Accused were charged for committing murder of the daughter of the complainant by administering poison---Incident occurred on 18.10.2016 at approximately 2:00 PM, while the FIR was lodged on 21-10-2016 at around 6:30 PM, resulting in an unexplained delay of more than three days---Furthermore, a crucial aspect to consider was that if a dying declaration had indeed been made by the deceased, there was no reasonable explanation as to why the complainant did not lodge the FIR on the same day---Given that the complainant was an educated individual, the failure to report the matter promptly raised serious doubts about the prosecution's case---Delay in lodging the FIR had not been satisfactorily explained, which significantly affected the credibility of the prosecution's version---Appeal against acquittal was dismissed, in circumstances.
