Muhammad Riaz alias Kala VS State S. 13---Possession of illicit weapon---Appreciation of evidence---Non-association of private witnesses at the time of recovery proceeding---Prosecution case was that during interrogation of a murder case, a pistol was recovered on the disclosure of accused which was allegedly used in the main occurrence---According to un-scaled site-plan a Mohallah was situated in front of the place of recovery whereas witnesses in their cross-examination admitted that no private/independent person from the public or nearby locality was associated as witness during the recovery proceedings---Thus, it was evident from the record that the Investigating Officer had not furnished any plausible explanation as to why he did not associate any private witness from locality with recovery proceedings---Moreover, it did not appeal to a prudent mind that the place of recovery was exclusively accessible to or in the possession of the appellant up to the time of recovery---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
