Judgment text as reported

BASHIR AHMED VS State S.302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Delay of eighteen days in lodging the FIR---Consequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by throwing him from a mountain---On 14.03.2022 at 5:00 pm, the appellant admitted his guilt in front of witnesses that the deceased did not fall down from the hills but he murdered him---On the other hand, the complainant reported the matter to the police station on 01.04.2022 at 3:30 pm despite the fact that allegedly he was informed by witnesses on 14.03.2022 to the effect that the appellant had committed the murder of his son after a delay of eighteen days and that too when it took only twenty hours to travel from "J" (Jacobabad) Province of Sindh, and "T" (Turbat), Province of Balochistan through ordinary transport means---No explanation had been tendered as to why the complainant waited for eighteen days for the lodgment of the FIR and nominating the present appellant---Hence, under such circumstances, the element of deliberation and consultation could not simply be ruled out of consideration---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond any shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
