Judgment text as reported

NASIR AHMED VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Minor discrepancies in ocular account and medical evidence---Not significant---Casual discrepancies and conflicts appearing in medical evidence and the ocular version are quite possible for variety of reasons---During 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 correctly mention the location of the fire shots with exactitude---Minor discrepancies, if any, in medical evidence relating to nature of injuries do not negate the direct evidence as witnesses are not supposed to give photo picture of ocular account---Even otherwise, conflict of ocular account with medical evidence being not material and not imprinting any dent in prosecution version would have no adverse effect on prosecution case.
