Judgment text as reported

Abdul Latif VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Recovery of weapon of offence---Inconsequential---Accused were charged for committing murder of the nephew of complainant by strangulating him with a rope---As per record, alleged weapon of offence, i.e., the rope was recovered---However, as per mashirnama, the Investigating Officer purportedly recovered a thin white-coloured rope tied around the neck of deceased, which he sealed in the presence of mashirs---However, Investigating Officer during cross-examination contradicted himself by deposing that the Medical Officer had given him the rope in the hospital---Further contradictions were evident in relation to the length of the rope---According to the mashirnama, the rope measured 212 feet, whereas witness, during cross-examination, stated that the rope was 2 to 2½ feet in length and witness/mashir deposed that the rope was 4 to 5 feet in length---Moreover, while the complainant, the two eye-witnesses, and the Investigating Officer unanimously stated that the rope was not blood-stained, the report of the Chemical Examiner categorically recorded that the rope was stained with human blood---Another material discrepancy was the unexplained delay in forwarding the case property to the office of the Chemical Examiner---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstance.
