Judgment text as reported

Usama Ali VS State Ss. 302(b), 109, 148 & 149---Qatl-i-amd, abetment, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly---Appreciation of evidence---Polygraph test---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant along with his two friends by firing---Prosecution in this case though had made an effort to procure evidence in the form of polygraph test but surprisingly expert did not conduct it due to the reason that accused/appellant allegedly confessed his guilt before him---It was claimed that confession was recorded by expert separately---Expert was not a Magistrate so as to give words to the alleged confession rather was under duty to conduct polygraph test even in this situation in order to ascertain the truth of such confession---Polygraph test is an effective tool to provide evidence of facts coming from the mouth of an accused---Refusal by expert to conduct the polygraph test created doubt that prosecution was not serious to collect impartial evidence rather was motivated to book the offender at every cost---If the confession before the expert was considered as informal admission (commonly known as extra judicial confession), then such confession should have been tendered in evidence with appearance of expert in the dock, but it had not been done---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
