Judgment text as reported

Aijaz Ali VS State Ss. 302(b) & 311---Qatl-i-amd, ta'zir after waiver or compounding of the right of qisas in qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Minor discrepancies in the statements of witnesses---Not consequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of his mother by inflicting hatchet blows due to suspicion that she went away for purpose of meeting with someone---Minor discrepancies in the statements of witnesses would not discredit the overwhelming evidence adduced at trial---Moreover, it was a natural phenomenon that two persons can not observe the same facts in the same line and even if they did, the chances of them being able to describe it in the same words was very rare---Thus, the minor lapses in the human memory owing to the passage of time between the occurrence and recording of evidence, did not in any manner shake the edifice of the case, and could not be allowed to be fatal to the prosecution case---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused but due to some mitigating circumstances, death sentence was converted into imprisonment for life---With said modification in sentence, appeal against conviction was dismissed, accordingly.
