ABDULLAH VS State Ss. 302(b), 337-a & 337-D--- Qatl-i-amd---appreciation of evidence---accused was charged for committing murder of his wife and caused dagger blow to his mother---Ocular account of the incident had been furnished by mother and sister-in-law of the accused---Record showed that both the witnesses recorded their statements in line with each other---Said witnesses brought the house inmates, their presence in the house at the relevant time was not disputed and was natural---accused was the son of a witness, as such, it was also beyond imagination that a mother might have falsely implicate her own son in the false case, when naturally a mother was the most selfless person---In such like situation and keeping in view the love and affection of mother towards her son, it was beyond imagination that a mother could falsely implicate her own son in a false case, when more particularly the accused was the only source of their bread and butter---Statement of witness being mother was most credible and worth credence than any other witness, as she was giving evidence against her own son and more particularly she was also attacked upon by the accused---Under the law the evidence of a injured witness was most credible than any other witness---Since said witness herself was injured in the incident, thus according to settled norms of justice, the solitary statement of injured witness being confidence inspiring was sufficient to convict the culprit, as such, legally the statement of an injured witness could not be challenged---Circumstances established that the prosecution had successfully proved the charges leveled against the accused beyond any shadow of doubt---appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
