2. We have gone through the order under appeal and it appears that the learned trial Court has given cogent reasons for recording the acquittal order namely, that there were only two alleged eye-witnesses, it was held that the presence of P.W. Barkat Hussain at the relevant time at the place of incident was unbelievable as he was resident of a place 3 miles away from the place of incident which fact he admitted in his cross-examination.

2. ' With regard to P.W. Haji Manzoor, the learned trial Court has pointed out that he has admitted that he and the complainant Abdul Razzak are caste-fellows and they are originally residents of Rawalpindi. There were delay in lodging of the private complaint in question by about a month.
