Judgment text as reported

Kaleem Ullah VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Recovery of crime empties from the spot---Inconsequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of the husband of complainant and another person by firing---So far as the Forensic Science Laboratory Report qua recovery of two empties of .30 bore, allegedly recovered from the crime scene was concerned, suffice it to say that since no independent witness was associated with the recovery proceedings, hence, no weight could be given to positive report of Forensic Science Laboratory, particularly when no crime weapon was recovered from the appellant or at his pointation---Even otherwise, the recoveries were always considered as corroborative pieces of evidence and if direct evidence failed, then such type of evidence lost its efficacy---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused beyond any reasonable shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
