Judgment text as reported

Mir Hassan VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Recovery of weapon of offence on the disclosure of accused---Inconsequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of the deceased---Record showed that bloodstained knife was recovered on the disclosure of appellant, whereof Forensic Science Laboratory Report had been procured, showing the knife to be stained with human blood---Forensic Science Laboratory Report was inconclusive with regard to the opinion as to whether the knife was stained with the blood of deceased or otherwise, thus in absence thereof mere recovery of knife would merely constitute an offence punishable under S.13-E of the Pakistan Arms Ordinance, 1965, but would not be relevant as a corroborative piece of evidence to substantiate the indictment of murder of deceased---Recovery of incriminating weapons, even if stained with blood could not solely establish guilt of the accused, unless corroborated by a forensic report definitively linking the blood to the deceased on the weapon---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
