Judgment text as reported

KHIZAR HAYAT VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Reappraisal of evidence---Unnatural conduct of witnesses---Accused were charged for committing murder of the deceased and causing injuries to the injured---Conduct allegedly exhibited by the complainant party was offensive to normal human conduct, taking into account the number of individuals from both factions at the time of the occurrence---Despite the absence of definitive guidelines regarding human conduct and behavior, it was reasonable to assume that the prosecution witnesses would not let the perpetrators go scot-free after the murder of their loved ones in the normal course of events, given the accepted standards of human behavior---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.
