Saeed akhtar VS State Ss. 302(b) & 109---Qatl-i-amd, abetment---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Delay of about nine hours and twenty-five minutes in lodging the FIR---Consequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of the husband of complainant by firing---According to the prosecution's perspective the occurrence took place on 06.11.2021 at 11:00 a.m. and was alleged to have been seen by complainant and her nephew but the matter was reported to the police on the same day at 08:25 p.m. i.e. with delay of about nine hours and twenty-five minutes, despite the fact that police station was just fifteen kilometers from the place of occurrence---In such a situation if those witnesses were present at the place of occurrence and also witnessed the scene of occurrence then such an inordinate and unexplained delay in lodging the FIR would never have occurred---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the appellant beyond the shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, accordingly.
