Judgment text as reported

Citation Name: 2025 YLR 735 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Riaz VS State Ss. 302(b), 393 & 34---Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984), Art. 22---Qatl-i-amd, robbery, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Recovery of photographs from CCTV---Inconsequential---Accused was charged that he along with his co-accused tried to snatch mobile phone from the deceased/grand maternal son of complainant and on his resistance, they opened straight fires upon the deceased, due to which he died---As per record when reviewing the photos taken from the USB were exhibited, which came from the CCTV, none of them showed any shooting taking place outside the shop---There was only one clear picture of three persons on a motor bike, which could have been taken anywhere and at any time and at any place---Appellant claimed that he was not in the picture showing three persons on a motor bike and even if it was him in the picture the same alone was insufficient to connect him to the crime of robbery and murder of the deceased as it only showed him on a motor bike with two others---Thus, without going even into the question of admissibility and safe custody, the photos from the CCTV taken from outside a house were of no assistance to the prosecution in proving the presence of the appellant at the crime scene at the time of the incident---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the appellant beyond a reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed in circumstances.
