Muhammad Ramzan VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Apprecia-tion of evidence---Delay of 08 hours and 30 minutes in conducting the postmortem upon the dead body of the deceased---Consequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of his wife/sister of complainant by cutting her neck with churri---Postmortem on the dead body of deceased was conducted on 14-10-2020 at 03:00 p.m., with the delay of 08 hours and 30 minutes after the occurrence---Keeping in view, the said gross delay in the post mortem examination, an adverse inference could be drawn that the prosecution witnesses were not present at the time of occurrence and the intervening period had been consumed in fabricating a story after preliminary investigation, otherwise there was no justification of delay for conducting post-mortem examination on the dead body of the deceased---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
