Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Zafar Iqbal VS State Ss. 302(b), 324 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Deceased's marriage with the alleged wife of accused not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing and also causing fire arm injuries to the complainant---Appellant produced the certified copy of the judgment and decree passed in the suit filed by Mst. "S" seeking dissolution of marriage against deceased and also produced the certified copy of the Nikahnama dated 08.06.2015 of Mst. "S", with himself and the said documents were never even challenged by the complainant or the witnesses---In this manner, when Mst. "S" had already been married to the appellant since 08.06.2015 and was residing with him as his validly wedded wife, then the story of the eye-witnesses that they had gone to the place of occurrence to bring Mst. "S" back, was absolutely false and improbable---On 06.08.2015, the day of occurrence, deceased as well as the eye-witnesses had no relationship with Mst. "S" and therefore there existed no reason for deceased as well as the eye-witnesses to have proceeded to the place of occurrence on the pretext of bringing Mst. "S" back---Said facts also created an incurable and fatal flaw in the prosecution's case---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
