Judgment text as reported

YASIR ARFAT VS STATE Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Medical evidence contradicting the ocular account---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---Complainant stated that the fire was made at the deceased from a distance of one and a half feet---However, the external post-mortem examination of the deceased did not show any blackening or tattooing marks on his injury, which indicated that the fire was likely made from a distance greater than one and a half feet---According to Medical jurisprudence, blackening occurs if a fire-like shotgun is discharged from a distance of no more than three feet and a revolver or pistol is discharged within two feet---Prosecution witness had not provided any explanation as to whether the deceased was shot from a distance of one and a half feet with a pistol and why his entrance wound was not surrounded by blackening and burning---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
