Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Dilawar VS State Ss. 302(b), 201 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, causing disappearance of evidence of offence or giving false information to screen offenders, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Ocular account, not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant---Ocular account in the case was furnished by complainant and a witness, who were real brothers inter-se as well as to the deceased---From the perusal of statements of said witnesses, an inference could be drawn that admittedly, both the said witnesses and the deceased were real brothers and the testimony of the witnesses was just hearsay and not supported by any independent piece of evidence---Said witnesses were not eye-witnesses of the occurrence and even failed to produce any witness of the occurrence---Said witnesses categorically admitted that they visited the Colony where they were informed that the occurrence had been committed by the appellants and they also admitted that they could not tell the names of persons who met them at the Colony and informed them about the occurrence---Thus, there was no reason to consider the ocular account of the prosecution witnesses, therefore, this piece of evidence of the prosecution witnesses was not worthy of reliance and was disbelieved---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
