Judgment text as reported

Mst. Beena VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Co-accused acquitted on same set of evidence---Effect---Accused were charged for committing murder of brother of complainant by cutting his neck with a sharp edged weapon---Judicial record unequivocally established that the complainant in her initial statement and subsequent Court testimony ascribed the identical role of perpetrating the murder of the deceased to the co-accused---Said assertion was further reinforced by the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses, all of whom consistently attributed the same culpability to both accused persons---Notably despite this parity in alleged roles and the shared evidence, the co-accused was acquitted by the Trial Court---Such in-consistencies in the prosecution case necessitated extending the same benefit of doubt to the appellant, as any ambiguity in the evidence must operate in favour of the accused---Appeal against conviction filed by accused/appellant was allowed, in circumstances.
