Judgment text as reported

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---Defective investigation---Accused were charged for committing murder of the daughter of complainant---During cross-examination, Investigating Officer admitted that he did not record the statement of sister of the deceased and voluntarily stated that she initially supported the complainant's version but later changed her stance due to pressure---However, that assertion by the Investing Officer was not corroborated by his own investigation, as the police record did not include the police diary entry dated 13.10.2021, which purportedly contained the S.161 Cr.P.C. statements of sisters of deceased---Absence of that critical record casted serious doubt on the credibility of the investigation and effectively discredited the Investigating Officer's testimony---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
