Judgment text as reported

GULSHAN SHAH VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---Acquittal of co-accused, assigned no role whatsoever, did not cast its shadows to possibly space an exit to the accused, who armed with hatchet fatally stabbed the deceased, a circumstance that convincingly conjoined medical evidence with ocular account furnished by three witnesses, who unanimously pointed their fingers upon the accused---Testimony of said witnesses did not suffer from any serious infirmity or flaw reflecting upon credibility of the deponents---Accused's long absence from law was yet another aspect that intriguingly reflected upon the hypothesis of his innocence---Courts below had rightly relied upon the prosecution evidence to return and uphold a guilty verdict against the accused that called for no interference---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed and leave was refused.
