(On appeal from the judgment dated 2-3-2006 passed by Lahore High Court, Lahore, in Criminal
Appeal No. 48-J of 2 0 0 1 , Murder Reference No. 161 of 2001).
----S. 302(b)---Appraisal of evidence---Complainant had neither named the accused nor given
his descriptive features in the F.I.R.---Evidence of identification parade was of no value due to
the inherent defect that the witnesses had not described the role of accused in the occurrence
while identifying him---Witnesses according to F.I.R. did not know the accused prior to the
occurrence and the identification parade was not held according to law, therefore identification
of accused in court by the witnesses was also of no value---Witnesses of identification had
various opportunities to see the accused prior to the holding of identification parade? which even
otherwise having been held six months after the occurrence and nine days after the arrest of
accused, had created many doubts about his identity---Confessional statement allegedly made by
accused before the Investigating Officer was not believable in the absence of any corroborating
evidence and no inference in this regard could be drawn against the accused when this
circumstance was not put to him in his statement recorded under S.342, Cr.P.C.---Recovery of
rifle from the accused in violation of S.103, Cr.P.C. was, doubtful---Witnesses had made
improvements in their statements before the Trial Court---Ocular testimony was inconsistent and
the same did not inspire confidence---Accused was acquitted in circumstances.
