Judgment text as reported

RASHEED AHMAD alias SHEEDA VS State. S.302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---Site plan of the occurrence not supporting prosecution story. Accused-petitioner was charged for committing murder of wife of his brother/daughter of complainant by firing. As per site plan, the place where the occurrence took place was a passage in-front of an open plot. House of deceased and her husband had not been shown in the site plan though the house of other persons had been shown therein. Both the eye-witnesses stated that they were present inside the house of deceased when they heard the noise coming from outside the said house and came out of the said house and witnessed the occurrence but no such house had been shown in the site plan. It was evident from the perusal of the site plan that it was a sheer chance that the accused, deceased and witnesses all simultaneously reached at the said passage situated in-front of an open plot, where the occurrence took place and where the prosecution's eye-witnesses had no house or place of business. Circumstances established that prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Petition was converted into an appeal and was allowed, in circumstances and accused was acquitted of the charge.
