Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD UMAR VS State Witness---Related witness---Scope---Mere relationship of a witness with deceased was no ground to discard his testimony if he otherwise appeared to be truthful and his presence at the venue of occurrence was probable---Mere relationship of witness would not dub him as interested witness because interested witness was one who had a motive to falsely implicate the accused, was biased, partisan or inimical towards the accused---Related witness, particularly in murder cases, might be found more reliable because on account of his relationship with the deceased he would not let go the real culprit or substitute the real person---Evidence of related witness, who was not found inimical and was confidence inspiring, would hardly need any corroboration.
