Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD BASHIR VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Discrepancy between ocular account and medical evidence---Where ocular evidence is found trustworthy and confidence inspiring, the same is given preference over medical evidence---Casual discrepancies and conflicts appearing in medical evidence and the ocular version are quite possible for variety of reasons---During an occurrence when live shots are being fired, witnesses in a momentary glance make only tentative assessment of the distance between the deceased and the assailant and the points where such fire shots appeared to have landed and it becomes highly improbable to mention the distance correctly and the location of the fire shots with exactitude.
