Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Ramzan VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Apprecia-tion of evidence---Recovery of churri at the instance of accused---Inconsequential as ocular account disbelieved---Accused was charged for committing murder of his wife/sister of complainant by cutting her neck with churri---As per record, churri was recovered at the instance of the appellant from his residential house, and the positive report of Forensic Science Agency was on record, however the same were not helpful to the prosecution---Occurrence in the case allegedly took place on 14-10-2020 whereas recovery of churri was made on 10-11-2020 i.e. after 27 days of the occurrence and according to the report of Forensic Science Agency, the churri was sent to the said office on 17-11-2020 i.e. after a delay of more than 01 month, 03 days of the occurrence and the said Agency examined the churri on 08-01-2021---It was likely that blood would have disintegrated in this time---In this case, ocular account had been disbelieved, therefore, recovery of churi at the pointation of appellant was of no avail to the prosecution because the recovery of weapon of offence was only a corroborative piece of evidence---Unless direct or substantive evidence is brought on record, a conviction cannot be recorded on the basis of such evidence, howsoever convincing it may be---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
