Judgment text as reported

Ubaid Khan VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Medical evidence in line with ocular account---Accused was charged for committing murder of his mother with axe blows---Medical evidence furnished by Medical Officer further boosted and substantiated the version of the prosecution---As per Medical-Legal Report of the deceased, the cause of death of the deceased was head trauma and the nature of wound was blunt, which was exactly in consonance with the story of the prosecution for the reason that the accused was facing the allegation of having given blows to his mother with the handle/lever of an axe, resulting into her unnatural death---Medical evidence on that score further supported the stance of the prosecution---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused beyond any shadow of doubt, however, due to some mitigating circumstances, the sentence of life imprisonment was altered to imprisonment for ten years---Appeal was dismissed with modification of sentence.
