Muhammad Afzal VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Delay of about twelve hours in conducting the post-mortem examination on the dead body of the deceased---Consequential---Accused was charged for committing murder of the sister of complainant by cutting her throat with a sharp edged sickle---Record showed that post-mortem examination on the dead body of deceased was conducted on 28.12.2019 at 06:45 p.m. and as such there was delay of about twelve hours in conducting the post mortem examination on the dead body of the deceased---Such delay in conducting the postmortem examination on the dead body of the deceased was suggestive of the fact that the occurrence was unseen and the said delay was consumed in procuring the attendance of fake eye witnesses---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the appellant beyond the shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed accordingly.
