Judgment text as reported

IMRAN MEHMOOD VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Ocular account---Medical evidence---Minor discrepancies---Minor discrepancies and conflicts appearing in medical evidence and the ocular version are quite possible for variety of reasons---During occurrence witnesses in a momentary glance make only tentative assessment of the distance between the deceased and the assailant and the points where accused caused injuries---In such a scenario it becomes highly improbable to correctly mention the number and location of the injuries 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 pen picture of ocular account---Even otherwise, conflict of ocular account with medical evidence being not material in imprinting any dent in prosecution version would have no adverse affect on prosecution case---Minor discrepancies on trivial matters not affecting the material considerations of the prosecution case ought not to prompt the courts to reject evidence in its entirety---Such minor discrepancies which do not shake the salient features of the prosecution case should be ignored.
