Ali Haider VS State Ss. 302(b), 201 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, causing disappearance of evidence of offence or giving false information to screen offender, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Delay of thirty hours in lodging the FIR---Consequential---Accused were charged for committing murder of the daughter of complainant---According to the prosecution, the occurrence in this case took place on 17.05.2021 at 06.30 pm---Distance between the police station and the place of occurrence was approximately 08 to 09 kilometers---However, there was an unexplained delay of more than thirty hours in reporting the crime to the police---Notably, there were material inconsistencies and contradictions in the statements of both the eye-witnesses, complainant and his wife---While testifying before the Trial Court, neither of those ocular witnesses provided any explanation regarding the delay---On the contrary, the complainant stated that they remained at RHC throughout the night until the following day when the Woman Medical Officer arrived at 11:00 am---Despite that prolonged period, the complainant did not make any effort to lodge the FIR---Thus, it was found that said inordinate delay in setting the machinery of law into motion raised serious doubts regarding the veracity of the prosecution's version---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
