Judgment text as reported

RASHID KHAN VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Delay in lodging the FIR---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of his wife/sister of complainant due to strained relations---Complainant stated that he was present at the time when his sister was shot dead by the present accused---When there was no apprehension of mistaken identity of the assailant, the delay caused in lodging the report would not damage the prosecution case most particularly when nothing had been brought on the record to suggest false implication of the accused on the basis of ill-will or mala fide---Accused went abroad soon after the occurrence and returned to Pakistan after more than three years---Accused had offered no explanation except the bald statement that he had gone there for earning his livelihood---Long and unexplained abscondence of accused further corroborated his involvement in commission of the offence---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case beyond any shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
