Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Arshad VS State Ss.302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Presence of eye-witnesses at spot not proved--- Accused was charged that he along with co-accused committed murder of son of complainant by firing--- Complainant stated during cross-examination that occurrence did not take place at prayer time and he failed to provide plausible explanation for his presence at spot--- Complainant admitted that residence of eye-witness was situated at considerable distance from place of occurrence--- Eye-witness also admitted that his residence was situated at a distance of half kilometer from place of occurrence and he had not mentioned any reason for his presence in his statement under S.161 Cr.P.C. Absence of both eye-witnesses from spot was further established from inquest report where deceased was identified by given-up witness and another witness--- Non-identification of dead body by alleged eye-witnesses created serious doubt because if they had been present at occurrence or accompanied deceased to hospital, they would have identified him--- All circumstances cumulatively showed that occurrence was unseen and prosecution attempted to involve accused through planted eye-witnesses--- Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
