Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Aslam VS State Ss. 302(b), 427 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, mischief causing damage to the amount of fifty rupees, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Presence of the eye-witnesses at the time and place of occurrence not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---Post-mortem and inquest reports, which showed that the body was brought to the hospital by the police and identified by two individuals, who were not the alleged eye-witnesses---Eye-witnesses did not even identify the body further weakened their credibility---In the absence of any tangible proof of their presence at the crime scene, testimony of eye-witnesses could not be relied upon---Material contradictions in the statements of eye-witnesses, along with their failure to accompany the deceased or be listed as identifiers in official reports, strongly indicated that they were not present at the time of the occurrence---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the appellant beyond the shadow of reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, accordingly.
