Citation Name: 2025 PCrLJ 633 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Rehman Bacha VS State S. 302(b)---Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984), Art. 129(g)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Withholding or not producing best witnesses---Effect---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother-in-law of complainant by firing---Prosecution withheld some of the best evidence in the case without explanation---"RK" who was named in the FIR as an eye-witness and who it seemed along with eye-witness/friend of the deceased gave the hearsay evidence concerning the murder which formed the basis of the FIR was not called as a witness---Mr. "J" who also witnessed the incident from the shack where the deceased was shot was also dropped as a prosecution witness without explanation and thus under Art.129(g) Quanun-e-Shahdat, 1984, an adverse inference could be drawn that neither of those witnesses would have supported the prosecution case---Thus, the prosecution had not proved its case against the accused beyond a reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
