Judgment text as reported

Citation Name: 2025 PCrLJ 633 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Rehman Bacha VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Recovery of weapon of offence and crime empties---Inconsequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother-in-law of complainant by firing---Prosecution's case was that after his arrest the accused led the police to his house where he had hidden the pistol (murder weapon)---However, when that pistol was sent for Forensic Science Laboratory with the empty recovered at the crime scene, the Forensic Science Laboratory Report was negative---Thus, the recovered pistol was not the murder weapon, which begged the question as to why a person would produce an unlicensed pistol before the police simply to be charged with an offence under the Arms Act when it was not the murder weapon in the case under investigation---Such fact did not appeal to logic, commonsense or reason and suggested that the pistol was foisted upon the accused---Thus, the prosecution had not proved its case against the accused beyond a reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
