Circumstances High Court had extended the benefit of doubt

 Refer the case titled “FAQEER MUHAMMAD versus SHAHBAZ ALI and others” (2016 SCMR 1441) wherein it has been held as under:-

“After ruling out of the ocular account the other circumstances of the case providing corroboration or support to the ocular account had automatically collapsed. In these circumstances High Court had extended the benefit of doubt to respondent No.1 and had acquitted him of the charge. Upon our own independent evaluation of the evidence we have not been able to take any legitimate exception to the said conclusion reached by the High Court.”
