Judgment text as reported

Citation Name: 2025 YLR 604 KARACHI-HIGH-COURT-SINDHBookmark this Case Lutaf Ali VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Delay of one day in lodging FIR---Inconsequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of wife of complainant by causing her knife/dagger injuries---Admittedly the FIR was lodged after a delay of one day however it had been fully explained as the complainant first had to take his deceased wife to the hospital who at that time was seriously injured but alive so his priority was to take her immediately to hospital where unfortunately she died and her body was then taken to another hospital where a post mortem was performed; then he had to make the funeral arrangements while being in a state of shock---Once the funeral had been carried out the FIR was immediately lodged---Even otherwise, the police had been informed by the complainant about the incident and in particular that the appellant had murdered the complainant's wife with a knife within an hour of the incident---As such based on the particular facts and circumstances of the case the delay in lodging the FIR was not fatal to the prosecution case---Appeal against conviction on two counts was dismissed except his acquittal to the extent of the murder of the unborn child.
