Judgment text as reported

SAHAD VS Mst. AFSHEEN. S.497(2)---Pakistan Penal Code (XLV of 1860), S.302---Qatl-i-amd---Bail, grant of---Case of further inquiry---Crime empties, non-matching of---Non-specification of role of accused. Accused was arrested for committing murder over a family property dispute. Crime empties recovered from the place of occurrence did not match with the weapon allegedly recovered from the accused. Such inconsistency between recovered crime empties and weapon attributed to accused rendered the recovery doubtful. The report of Forensic Science Laboratory was neither objected to nor denied by the complainant. Any opinion regarding evidentiary value of such recovery could not be formed without recording evidence during trial. The complainant, who was the sole eye-witness, did not specify in her statement the distinct role played by each accused. The narration of complainant was general in nature and no specific or individual role was attributed to accused. The case of accused squarely fell within ambit of Section 497(2), Cr.P.C. and accused was entitled to concession of bail on the ground of further inquiry into his guilt. Bail was allowed.
