Judgment text as reported

Aurangzeb Siddiqui VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Medical evidence---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the father of complainant by firing---Medial evidence corroborated the prosecution version that deceased died due to firearm injury, so the Court below rightly convicted the accused---It was alleged by defence counsel that medical evidence did not support the ocular evidence of the prosecution, however this plea had got no plausible essence because as per prosecution version the accused fired with 12 bore rifle when the deceased was performing ablution---Hence, in such a situation receiving injuries at neck and arm was not strange rather natural because single fire with 12 bore rifle might cause hit of pellets at different parts of body---Merely non-mentioning of injury of the deceased at his arm in the FIR or in the statements of prosecution witnesses was not fatal because witnesses in such panic situation were not expected to minutely observe all the wounds of the body---Moreover, witnesses were not confronted with reference to the medical reports---Under Art.140 of Qanun-e- Shahadat only the discrepancies which were contradicted by referring to relevant document/evidence to the witness could be considered as a contradiction, so it could safely be concluded that medical evidence was also in line, nexus and consonance with the ocular evidence whereas in the injury form prepared by police the injury on the hand of deceased had also been mentioned---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
