MUHAMMAD USMAN VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Natural conduct of complainant---Accused was charged for committing murder of his father and mother---In the present case, the conduct and attitude on the part of the complainant appeared to be quite natural as the complainant detailed everything in a straightforward manner while recording the FIR, which prima facie attached truthfulness to such narration, particularly where no benefit/advantage appeared to have been obtained so as to settle any personal score, etc.---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the appellant beyond any shadow of doubt, however, due to mitigating circumstances, the death sentence was altered to imprisonment for life---Appeal was dismissed with modification in sentence.
