Judgment text as reported

Muhammad NIaz alias Aalian VS State Ss. 302(b) & 397---Qatl-i-amd, robbery or dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Contradictions and improvements in the statement of complainant---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant during dacoity---Complainant, in the FIR, initially described the incident as one involving an unknown assailant and did not disclose the source of his information, such as any mobile communication or the identity of an informant, nor did he nominate any person as the accused---However, during the trial, complainant deviated materially from his earlier version by naming the appellant and attributing that information to eye-witness---Such material improvement, surfacing for the first time during the evidentiary phase, significantly undermined the credibility of the complainant's testimony and indicated that the prosecution's case lacked the consistency and reliability required for a conviction---Additionally, oral testimony of complainant was riddled with contradictions when compared with other pieces of prosecution evidence---Appeal of appellant against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
