Judgment text as reported

Javed Khan VS State Ss. 397, 337-F(i) & 412---Robbery or dacoity with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt, ghayr-jaifah-damiyah, dishonestly receiving property stolen in the commission of dacoity---Appreciation of evidence---Defective investigation---Prosecution case was that the accused-petitioners entered the house of complainant, caused him injury with a sharp-edged weapon, took away cash amounting to Rs. 40,00,000/-, a gold ring and five mobile phones---Investigation itself suffered from gross procedural defects---Alleged recoveries of cash were made after a lapse of 2 years---Admittedly, the currency notes were not the same, which were stolen and the currency notes were drawn from the bank, hence it was insufficient and against the norms of justice to connect the present accused/petitioners with alleged recovery---Furthermore, neither the recovered dagger nor the pistol was sent for expert examination, and no fingerprints or forensic evidence were collected from the crime scene---Said omissions rendered the investigation highly doubtful and unreliable---Petitions were allowed and petitioners were acquitted by setting aside impugned judgments, in circumstances.
