Judgment text as reported

AFSAR ALI VS MAJID KHAN Ss. 302(b), 324 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence----Absconsion of accused---Scope---Accused were charged for the killing of brother of the complainant and ineffective firing at him as well as witness---Record showed that the accused just after the occurrence went into hiding with no plausible explanation---Abscondence per se was not sufficient to prove the guilt, but when it would go for a long time for which no reasonable explanation was given by an accused person coupled with other evidence on record, would be the criteria to determine his guilt or innocence and, thus, was a corroborative piece of evidence, therefore, his conduct after the occurrence was indicative of his guilt when considered in juxtaposition with the other evidence produced by the prosecution---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
