Citation Name: 2024 PCrLJ 861 QUETTA-HIGH-COURT-BALOCHISTANBookmark this Case MUHAMMD AZEEM VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Abscondance---Murder of own wife---Crime weapon, non-recovery of---Effect---Accused was alleged to have murdered his own wife and remained absconder for about two years---Non-recovery of crime weapon was immaterial as incident took place on 8-7-2018 and accused was arrested on 16-3-2020, thus accused had sufficient time to dispose of or eliminate crime weapon in any manner---Recovery of crime weapon was only a piece of supporting evidence---Prosecution proved its case independently and mere non-recovery of crime weapon was no ground to discredit or disbelieve entire prosecution case---Accused committed murder of his wife and due to such reason, he remained fugitive from law---Dead body of deceased was recovered from the house of accused, which fact was confirmed by direct eye-witnesses and police officials who did not have any rivalry with accused---Burden of proof shifted upon the shoulders of accused to explain reasons of unnatural death of his wife committed in his own house but he failed to shift such burden from his shoulders---High Court declined to interfere in conviction and sentence awarded to accused by Trial Court as accused failed to point out any mala fide on the part of complainant party for his false implication---Appeal was dismissed, in circumstances.
