Judgment text as reported

Kashif Jamal VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence----Presence of eye-witnesses at the place and time of occurrence doubtful---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by firing---Complainant stated in her cross-examination before the Trial Court that occurrence took place at 09:15 p.m.---Contrary to that, Investigating Officer stated in his cross-examination that as per version of complainant occurrence took place at 09:59 p.m. whereas as per version of complainant in other case FIR No.272/2022, occurrence took place at 09:30 p.m.---Such contradictions between time of occurrence were not ignorable, rather negated the presence of eye-witnesses---Eye-witness/second husband of the complainant and stepfather of deceased while appearing before the Trial Court had provided his residential address which was far away from the place where the occurrence took place---In these circumstances, presence of said witness at the time of occurrence and at the place of occurrence was not only doubtful, rather the whole story of the prosecution was neither plausible nor believable---Appeal against conviction was accordingly allowed.
