Murder Appeal

S. 302-Murder appeal - Appreciation of evidence-First information report promptly lodged and no infirmity found in statement of victim's father showing attempt at false implication of any one of two accused-Duration of injuries on person of deceased suggestive of injuries having been contemporaneous with time of occurrence Nothing in statement of Doctor indicating principal eye-witness having not suffered injuries in a scuffle attempting to snatch sharp-edged weapon from accused-Acquitted accused having been extended only benefit of doubt, such acquittal could not show principal eye-witness having falsely implicated appellant-Prosecution witness having no enmity against accused to falsely implicate him nor motive suggested from prosecution side such as would render complainant into such an interested witness as to substitute real culprit for appellant-Courts, below, held, rightly found appellant guilty of murder.

S. 302-Murder appeal Reasons given by lower Court for believing evidence of prosecution witness-Insubstantial and irrelevant-Conclusion reached by lower Court without considering all relevant circumstances affecting credibility of witness-Material brought on record by defence showing witness being not free from influence of deceased's family

Not taken into consideration by lower Court-Evidence neither in quantity nor in quality adequate to support conviction-Finding of lower Court in circumstances, held, could be legitimately interfered with by Supreme Court-Evidence being extremely unsatisfactory, conflicting, and contradictory, held, did not establish appellant's guilt beyond reasonable doubt-Appeal allowed and accused acquitted
