Judgment text as reported

QAISER VS STATE. S.302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Re-appraisal of evidence---Medical evidence---Blackening around margins of entry wound---Arrest from spot. Accused was convicted by Trial Court for committing qatl-i-amd and sentenced to death. High Court maintained conviction but altered sentence into imprisonment for life. Only blackening of margins of entry wound could occur due to long-range fire shot and even when body of victim was covered with clothes. Blackening could occur because bullet, being a heated object, touches skin at entry wound. Absence of burning, charring and tattooing did not render prosecution case doubtful. Medical evidence fully supported ocular account. Accused was arrested immediately after occurrence from spot and handed over to police. Supreme Court declined interference in conviction and sentence as prosecution had proved case beyond reasonable doubt. Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed.
