Judgment text as reported

Syed Hammad Naqvi VS State Ss. 302(b), 376, 380, 411 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, rape, theft in adwelling house, tent, or vessel, dishonestly receiving stolen property, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Postmortem report of the deceased doubtful---Accused were charged for committing rape and murder of the minor daughter of the complainant---According to the post mortem report, the cause of death was concluded to be by strangulation---However, while examining the physical condition of the deceased's body by Woman Medical Officer, certain typical signs usually seen in such cases such as bruising around the neck, protrusion of the tongue, petechial hemorrhages (tiny red spots in the eyes or face) were not found and absence of such signs raised doubts about the accuracy of the medical conclusion---Therefore, the mismatch between the medical opinion and the actual condition of the body created serious uncertainty regarding the real cause of death---Said discrepancy must be carefully considered, as it weakened the reliability of the prosecution's claim that the death resulted from strangulation---Appeal against conviction allowed, in circumstances.
