The brief facts leading to the present appeal are that a case under section 307/34, P.P.C. Was registered at Police Station Katha Saghral, District Khushab, vide F.I.R. No.86/84 dated 3-12-1984, against the respondents by the complainant P.W.1, Ali Muhammad. The learned trial Court had acquitted the respondents vide judgment, dated 28-4-1986. The State filed the present appeal against the said judgment. The appeal was admitted to regular hearing to examine the reasons stated for the acquittal, vide order, dated 31-1-1987.
2. However, no one had put in appearance to prosecute the present criminal appeal on behalf of the State.
3. On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondents pointed out that the order of acquittal has taken into consideration the vital and unexplained delay in the registration of the case as well as the medical examination of the injured. Further submitted that it has been established by the evidence on the record that the P.Ws. Were inimical, interested and that their testimony had failed to inspire confidence. Further submitted that the learned-trial Court had rightly come to the conclusion that the version of the accused, while placing it in juxtaposition to the version of the prosecution, was more plausible. Therefore, argued that no case is made out for interference with the acquittal of the respondents.
4. The contentions raised on behalf of the respondents are duly supported by the evidence on the record. The present appeal fails to point out any illegality or error of jurisdiction in respect of the impugned order. The acquittal of the respondents is based on very cogent reasons stated in the p impugned order and as the same have not been impugned in any manner with reference to the evidence on the record or by invoking any relevant provision of law or precedent to support the contention for interference with the same, therefore, the present criminal appeal being devoid of merit, is hereby dismissed. The respondents are on bail, their bail bonds stand discharged.
