Syed Hammad Naqvi VS State Ss. 302(b), 376, 380, 411 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, rape, theft in adwelling house, tent, or vessel, dishonestly receiving stolen property, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Credibility of the prosecution case suspicious---Accused were charged for committing rape and murder of the minor daughter of the complainant---During cross-examination, Investigating Officer admitted that the place of occurrence was a small house, measuring approximately 2½/3 marlas and complainant during cross-examination also confirmed the same and further admitted that allthe family members including one sister, three brothers, mother, wife and four children were residing in the small house---Although the complainant explained his absence and that of his wife on the day of the occurrence, there was no explanation on the part of the prosecution or any other evidence to establish that the other family members, who were also living in the same house, were absent at the time of the occurrence---In a so small and crowded house, it was highly unlikely that such a tragic incident could take place without the knowledge or presence of other family members---Prosecution's failure to address this critical point seriously undermined the credibility of its case, making the entire prosecution story suspicious---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
