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---Medical evidence not identifying the culprit of the offence---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant during dacoity---Medical evidence, as presented by Medical Officer, confirmed that the deceased succumbed to firearm injuries resulting in cardiopulmonary arrest and hypovolemic shock---While medical evidence established the homicidal nature of death, it did not offer any direct nexus to the appellant---No forensic evidence such as gunshot residue, DNA, or biological trace was found linking the appellant to the commission of the offence---Furthermore, no ballistic connection could be established between the weapon allegedly recovered and the projectile extracted from the deceased's body---Hence, although the post-mortem findings affirmed the cause of death, they fell significantly short of identifying the appellant as the perpetrator---Appeal of appellant against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
