Judgment text as reported

Umar Daraz alias Muhammad Umar VS Mst. Durdana Ss. 302(b) & 324---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Absconsion of the accused---Inconsequential---Accused were charged for committing murder of the complainant, then injured, and his companion by firing---Record revealed that undoubtedly, the appellant remained absconder for almost a decade without providing any plausible explanation---However, it was imperative to state that abscondence alone did not serve as a conclusive proof of guilt---Absconsion could be considered as a corroborative piece of evidence, its weight was contingent on the prior establishment of an accused person's guilt through compelling evidence---When direct evidence fell short, abscondence as a piece of evidence became inconsequential---Present case was no exception to such principle---Prosecution had been unable to prove the charge against the appellant---Appeal against conviction was allowed accordingly.
