Judgment text as reported

Zaheer Ahmed VS State S. 23(1)(a)---Criminal Procedure Code (V of 1898), S. 103---Possession of illegal weapon---appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Non-association of private witnesses at the time of arrest and recovery process---Effect---accused was charged for having illicit weapon i.e. pistol 30-bore and live bullets---although the incident occurred in a densely populated area during morning hours, the complainant made no attempt to involve independent witnesses to observe the arrest or the recovery process---Such failure to associate independent witnesses, despite the public setting, raised questions about procedural compliance, as such steps were typically critical to ensuring transparency in law enforcement actions---appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
