Mst. Beena VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qanun-e-Shahadat (10 of 1984), Art. 129(g)---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Withholding crucial witnesses---Adverse presumption---Accused were charged for committing murder of brother of complainant by cutting his neck with a sharp edged weapon---Prosecution did not produce and examine the key witnesses to the alleged incident i.e. baby girl and "K" to substantiate its case against the accused---This failure indicated that the prosecution withheld crucial evidence---Under Art.129 (g) of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984, an adverse inference must be drawn against the prosecution implying that had these witnesses testified, they would not have supported the prosecution version of events---Thus, withholding of vital witnesses led to the dismissal of the prosecution claim due to lack of corroborative evidence---Appeal against conviction filed by accused/appellant was allowed, in circumstances.
