Mr.Muhammad Nawaz Bhatti Advocate, learned counsel for
the accused.
Learned ADPP for the State.
JUDGMENT:
that reason they deposed falsely against him. During statement of accused
person U/S 342, Cr.P.C he was asked whether he want to appear as his
own witness U/S 340 (2), Cr.P.C as well as to produce defense evidence,
but he did not opt.
5. Learned ADPP for the State argued that accused person is
nominated in FIR. He further argued that statements of witnesses U/S 161,
Cr.P.C also corroborated the prosecution version. He further argued that
there is no malafide on part of the prosecution. He stated that oral as well
as documentary evidence is in line and prayed for conviction of the
accused being guilt.
6. Learned counsel of the accused person argued that
complainant is a public servant and he just to show progress to his higher
authorities registered this false case against him; that accused person is
innocent and no such occurrence has been happened; that there are many
dents in prosecution evidence. Prosecution has failed to prove its case
beyond any shadow of doubt. Lastly, he prayed for acquittal of accused.
7. Arguments heard, record perused.
sub engineer. SDO Riaz Ahmad (PW-1) stated that he verified the
occurrence vide Tar No.154 dated 14.7.2018, whereas said PW in cross
examination admitted that he nominated the accused on the report of
Patwari and Zaildar after that he sent complaint without inquiry. PW-1 in
cross examination admitted that he does not remember as to how many
Patti Daran cultivated the land through Moga No.63620/L. further
admitted that he has no record of Patti Daran of Moga No.63620 with him
at that time. He further admitted that the report of Zaildar is not attached
with the complaint. He admitted that he did not record statement of any
person at the place of occurrence. PW-3 in cross examination admitted
that he did not accompany the complainant in order to visit the place of
occurrence, whereas PW-1 in cross examination stated that he visited the
place of occurrence alongwith his field staff. PW-4 I.O deposed about
investigation conducted by him. Whereas, in cross examination he
admitted that in FIR Exh.PB no time of occurrence is mentioned. He
further admitted that accused was nominated in this case after lodging of
FIR.
12. Prosecution evidence shows that accused person was not
arrested by the police party at the place of occurrence at spot. From the
face of record it appears that alleged place of occurrence is situated in
open area & thickly populated area but no local person of locality has been
associated with these proceedings by complainant as well as I.O but even,
no requisite efforts have been made by the I.O in pursuance of provision
U/S 103, Cr.P.C. No cogent explanation for non compliance of provision of
law would cast doubt. Prosecution has failed to explain as to why witnesses
from the public were not associated with alleged proceedings. These
factums also renders prosecution story cynical. It is also evident that
nether ‘Warabandi’ record of alleged outlet in question has been furnished
by the complainant nor I.O has been collected this material evidence. It
has been alleged by the prosecution that complainant Pw-1 drafted written
complaint Exh-PA on Taar/report No.149dated 13.7.2018 of sub engineer.
