Judgment text as reported

IFTIKHAR alias Puppi VS State. Ss.302(b) & 394---Qatl-i-amd, voluntarily causing hurt in committing robbery. Re-appraisal of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Weapon of offence and crime empties sent for forensic examination together. Accused were charged for snatching motorcycle, wallet and ring from complainant and committing murder of complainant's brother upon resistance. Petitioner led to recovery of .30 bore pistol while in police custody. Crime empty and recovered pistol were dispatched to Forensic Science Laboratory on the same date for comparison. Such simultaneous dispatch rendered recovery evidence inconsequential. Although FSL report showed empty was fired from recovered pistol, such positive result could not be relied upon due to defective procedure. Jail petition was converted into appeal and allowed.
