Judgment text as reported

Shahid alias Shahidi VS State Ss. 302(b), 109 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, abetment, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Delay of three hours and ten minutes in lodging the FIR---Consequential---Accused were charged for committing murder of the mother of complainant by firing---Occurrence took place on 02.10.2019 at evening time i.e. 06.30 p.m. and was alleged to have been seen by eye-witnesses and the matter was reported to the police on the same day at night i.e. 09:40 p.m., with the delay of about three hours and ten minutes, despite the fact that police station was just 12 kilometers from the place of occurrence---No reason much less plausible had been given by the prosecution at any stage---In the attending circumstances, the delay in reporting the matter to the police created many suspicions and doubts in the prosecution case particularly when eye-witnesses were not only closely related inter-se to the deceased but also the residents of the same vicinity---In such a situation if eye-witnesses were present at the time and place of occurrence and also witnessed the scene of occurrence then such an inordinate and unexplained delay would never have occurred---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
