Fakhar Iqbal Shah VS State Ss. 302(b), 148 & 149---Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984), Art. 129(g)---Qatl-i-amd, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly---Appreciation of evidence---People of locality not produced as witnesses---Adverse presumption---Accused was charged that he along with his co-accused persons committed murder of the servant of complainant by firing---As per site plan there was a grocery store of one "NU" just opposite to place where deadbody was found but "NU" was not cited as a witness in this case---Existence of grocery store was an indicator that people of locality might have been available at the time of occurrence but prosecution opted not to produce any independent witness and relied upon their own team of people consisting of three brothers including complainant---Under Art.129(g) of the Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, adverse inference was drawn to the effect that had such witnesses been produced by the prosecution at the trial, they would not have supported the case of the prosecution---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
