Thercafter, investigation $'as transferred to anothcr IO SIIj Muneer Ahned ol CIA, rvho after usual investigation subrnitted (llarBc sheet against the.1c.used.

4.Thereaiter charge was framed on 20.03 2015 to lvhich the accuseli pleaded not guitty and claimed trial.

7.Ihc laats oi the casr: as well as evitlence produ(-d before thc trial court tind an elaboratc rnenhon in thc impugned judgmcnt, thercforc, the same arc not reproduced here so a6 to avoid dupli(alion alld unnecersary repetition.

8- l-earncd courrsel for the appellant has argued that lhere is no eyc u,ihlessi that the placc of the incident has b€en des(ribc.i difierently by each Inl rvho gave evidence on this issue; that all thc PW s arc closcly relatetl ancl cannot bt satclv relicd upon; thal all n('ces.\ar!' natural witnesses have bcer eiclu.tcd such as the boy \a'ho tol(i thc romplainant about the bodv nnd the ambulancc ddver who took the Lhdy b hospiLll; that thcre lvere contradictions in the FIR and statement of the complainant who in the FIR statecl that he first sarv his sons body hhen he wcnt to the I,S but in his evidFnce statcs that he first saw the dead bod), ol his son in hospital; that the complailant admits that the police had not corrr.tlv recordcd his FIR; that the so callerl last secn it'itnesscs r^'ere Put uP being relatives of the complainant; that tlle pistol was foisted on the a..used an(l that tor any ot the above reasons the accused bc acqLlittcd ()i the chargc by cxtending to him the bcnefil ol the doubl. ln support ol his ( ontentions he placctl reiiame on Muhammad Mansha v. The State (2018 SCNllt 772), Muhammad Yaseen v. Muhammad Afzal and another (201|t SCIVIR 1549), Mst. Sabeeha v. Ibrar and others (2012 SCN,R 74) and Ashiq Hussain v. The State (1993:icMlt 417).

9.I.earnecl DPG on behalf of the State who h,as also actinB for thc coDplainant argued that the last seen evidence supported by the medical evidence; the recovery o[ the pistol on the pointation of the accused showed that the prosecution hati proved its case bcvonll a rcasonable doubt and thnt the inlpuSned iudgment should be uphclel ancl the appeal dismisserl although he very fairll'.onc|ded that it lvas.r case of life imprisonment as opposed t(r thc death penalti,as th('prosecution had neithcl alleged a motive nor proved a motive aSainst the acrusctl. In support o, hir contcntions he placed reliance on The St.le V Manzoor Ahmed (Pl-D 1%6 sC 6&) and Fayyaz Ahmed V Strte (2017 SCMR 2026).

10.We ha\,e heard the arguDrents of the learned counsel f(,r the partics, Sone thiough the cntire cvidence which has been read out b\ the appellant and the tnpugned iudgment with therr al)le assistance and have consi(lerell the relevant lalr including that (ited at the bar

33o

11.ln our view after our reassessment ol the evidcnce bas€d on the evidence of thc PW's, espccially lhe PW MLO post mortem tePort wc are satislied that the pros€rution has proved hyond a reasonable doubt that or1 14.10.2014 at aboul Jpm near llis illah Kiryana storc, Bilal CQtoney Quaidabad Karachi Mohammed Abdullah son of Akhbdr (thc d(eased) vyas murdered by firearm.

12 lhe only issue thereforc, in our viciv, Ieft belorc us is !'hethcr the pros(ution havc proved beyond a reasonable (loubt th.rt thc accu\cd murtlcred the de<easetl.

13.ll is an admitted pGition that therc was no cye witness lo th(, murder and no p€rson is nominated in the I'lR as the murderer and as such l)ased orr the particular Iacls anli circurnstanccs r)f the case in our vie\a the fate of the accusud will hinge on thc rcliability and trustworthincss of the tast seen eviden(c together rvith any reliable cofioborativc evidence as it is well scttlcd bv no\a' that last seen evidcn(c is a verv \,!,eak form of evidence and must be considered ]vith a Breat deal

14.ln this regarcl \4'e need k, aonsidcr the relevant law on last s.en evidence and thcn see if based on a detailed anal]-.sis of tl'le last scen evidence as given by the I'W's in this case and any other.otrob()rativc evidence h'hich there may be whcther wc can salel),convict thc a.cuscd frrr the nrurder o[ the deceased espccially keepinS in view lhat this is a capitalcase.
