Judgment text as reported

Sarwat Bibi VS Muhammad Idrees Kiani Ss. 302(b), 324, 337, 147, 148 & 149---arms act (XX of 1965), S. 13---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, causing hurt, rioting, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly, possession of illicit weapon---appreciation of evidence---appeal against acquittal---Discrepancy in the statement of complainant---accused was charged for causing hurt to the complainant by firing, who died later on---Statement of complainant/ deceased only mentioned two gunshots being fired and made no reference to a third shot---Without any corroborative testimony or evidence to support the appellants' assertion, their claim regarding third fire shot remained unsubstantiated and speculative---Since the deceased specifically noted only two gunshots, this discrepancy casted doubt on the credibility of the prosecution's account and weakened its position---Circumstances established that the prosecution had not been able to prove its case beyond any shadow of doubt---appeal against acquittal was dismissed accordingly.
