Judgment text as reported

Khuda Bakhsh VS State Ss. 302(b), 324, 337-a, 337-D, 337-F, 147, 148 & 149---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, shajjah, jaifah, causing hurt, rioting, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly---appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Ocular account contradicted medical evidence---Scope---accused were charged for making firing upon the complainant party, due to which three persons died whereas there sustained firearm injuries---Record showed that eye-witnesses, somehow miraculously avoided injury during the alarming event---Moreover, this raised important questions, particularly when it was considered that the prosecution had found a staggering 57 empty cartridge cases from Kalashnikov, along with 130 from submachine guns, 10 from 09mm pistols and other from SMG and 303 Rifle---Given the sheer volume of gunfire, it seemed unlikely that anyone could escape without harm---Moreover, it appeared quite difficult for the prosecution witnesses to accurately identify the specific actions of each assailants amidst such chaos---accounts of said witnesses further seemed to have contradicted the findings of the Medico-Legal Certificates issued by Medical Officer, which revealed that the deceased and injured had received injuries mostly on their front side---Such discrepancy suggested that the events might not have unfolded as described by the prosecution---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to establish its case against the appellants beyond any shadow of doubt---appeal against conviction was allowed, accordingly.
