Judgment text as reported

Qaiser Abbas VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Presence of witnesses at the spot doubtful---Accused was charged for committing murder of the complainant by firing---As regard the place of occurrence, the Investigating Officer had stated that the place of occurrence was not the Haveli of the accused and the same was the Haveli of some other person---Besides being highly interested, all the prosecution witnesses had also made irreconcilable contradictions on material points, rendering their evidence incredible---With that background, the presence of the alleged eye-witnesses on the spot seemed doubtful---Such fact was a very serious infirmity that destroyed the credibility of the witnesses' evidence---If the evidence of such witnesses was rejected as untrustworthy, nothing survived in the prosecution case, and it would not be safe to rely upon such evidence---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
