Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD BILAL VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Re-appraisal of evidence---Medical evidence not supporting the ocular account---Accused was alleged to have committed murder of mother of the complainant by inflicting sotta blow---Trial Court convicted the accused and sentenced him to death, which was upheld by the High Court---Validity---Postmortem examination of the deceased was conducted by Woman Medical Officer, in her report she noted only two injuries on the deceased's head---Such description neither corroborated the complainant's account of only one blow being delivered by the appellant on the deceased's head nor did it support eyewitness's version of four or five blows being inflicted upon the deceased---Thus, it could not safely be said that the medical evidence supported the ocular account---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
