Judgment text as reported

Wishal Munawar VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Improvement made by Medical Officer in his statement---Effect---Accused was charged for committing murder of paternal nephew of the complainant by firing---Medical Officer, who had conducted autopsy on the dead body of deceased on 12.08.2019, found 03 injuries on his person including a surgically created wound---According to the opinion of said witness, death occurred due to injuries No.l & 2 which caused damage to major vessels and heart leading to irreversible haemorrhage and shock, cardiopulmonary arrest and ultimately death in ordinary course of nature---In the post mortem examination report of deceased, the Medical Officer did not fill the column of duration between injury and death as well as death and postmortem and they were kept blank but while appearing in the witness box he deposed that duration between injury and death was within four hours and between death and postmortem within nine hours---It was not understandable that when the column relating to duration between injury and death and death and postmortem were blank, how the Medical Officer while appearing in the dock in the Court room was in a position to assess such duration---Thus, inference could be drawn that the Medical Officer while appearing in the witness box improved his version just to strengthen the prosecution story---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
