Judgment text as reported

Haji Khan Notkani VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Unnatural conduct of accused---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant---As per record, two witnesses entered the otaque, where the accused allegedly confessed to having caused injuries to the deceased---Such conduct was contrary to ordinary human behavior and did not appeal to a prudent mind, as it seemed improbable that after committing such an offence, the accused would remain at the scene waiting for the witnesses, voluntarily confessing the act, and thereafter leaving the place peacefully without any attempt to flee---Circumstances established that the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, accordingly.
