informant about the incident stating that one unknown person came and killed her husband. There was no another eye-witness except her. Her statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was recorded after about four months of the alleged incident.

No incriminating evidence has been collected or recovered from the applicant. Even the weapon used in the crime has also not been recovered from him.

In the aforesaid statement, the wife of the deceased stated that a day before the incident, there was a quarrel between the deceased and the accused over stealing a bucket.
