Inferential evidence
Inferential evidence legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Case of prosecution was that when Police party on prior information went to the spot they found cartons and packets in question lying on foot-path; that man standing nearby started running who was allegedly chased caught and that man was accused
One of the prosecution witnesses had admitted that except for the fact that accused ran away from the spot, he could not make any connection of the cartons with accused during his entire investigation
Said witness could not produce any direct or indirect evidence against accused through which he could connect accused with the said cartons
Other prosecution witness had also stated that there was no evidence to connect accused with the offence
Where prosecution had failed to bring on record any nexus or link of the narcotics recovered from accused; and when his apprehension was from a distance of one furlong in a thickly populated area; and when no site-plan was prepared; whereas it was so required in the case, so that a court could determine as to under what circumstances accused was arrested, the mere fact that someone present close to the cartons had run away or tried to run away would be only inferential evidence whereas no conviction could be recorded on inferences
Benefit of doubt was extended to accused and conviction and sentence awarded to him by the Trial Court were set aside and he was acquitted.
