Judgment text as reported

KHIZAR HAYAT VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Reappraisal of evidence---Night time occurrence---Source of light not established---Accused were charged for committing murder of the deceased and causing injuries to the injured---Occurrence had taken place during the night and although the prosecution had mentioned availability of torch with the prosecution witnesses at the spot yet admittedly no torch had been secured during the investigation of this case---Thus, the claim of the alleged eye-witnesses regarding identification of culprits with graphic details of the incident appeared to be a claim which could be accepted only with a lump of salt---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the appellant beyond reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed accordingly, and accused was acquitted of the charge.
