Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Waqas VS State Ss. 302(b), 324 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Unnatural conduct of eye-witnesses---Accused were charged for committing murder of the nephew of the complainant by firing and also causing firearm injury to his neighbourer---Both the eye-witnesses admitted that they were close relatives of the deceased, but they did not bother to accompany deceased to the hospital or inform his family members; rather, they formally went back to their houses---Such unnatural conduct of both the prosecution witnesses also threw cloud of doubt that those prosecution witnesses were later on maneuvered to support the prosecution story, which was manufactured to cover the delay in reporting the incident, as Medical Officer deposed during examination-in-chief and mentioned in postmortem report that the duration between injuries and death was immediate---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
