Judgment text as reported

ABDUL BARI alias HAKEEM BARI VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Recovery of pistol on the pointation of accused---Reliance---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---As far as recovery of pistol on the disclosure and pointation of accused was concerned, though, the recovery through such disclosure had become relevant, but not sufficient enough to place reliance on such piece of evidence in a case of capital punishment, despite there being a positive Forensic Science Laboratory Report---Empty was recovered on 28.08.2019, whereas the pistol was recovered on 12.09.2019, but instead of sending the empties and pistol separately, both were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory together on 19.09.2019, which had diminished their evidentiary value---More-so, perusal of the Forensic Science Laboratory Report had also been found to be inconclusive and non-speaking, giving no reason at all as to how many and which points were found similar, to conclude that the empty shells of 30 bore were similar to the test bullet casing---Thus, on such score as well the Forensic Science Laboratory Report was of no help to the case of prosecution---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused through ocular account supported by medical evidence---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
