SULTANI ROOM VS STATE Ss. 302(b) & 210---Qatl-i-amd, causing the disappearance of evidence or giving false information to screen an offender---Appreciation of evidence---Related and interested witnesses, evidence of---Reliance---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the nephew of complainant by firing---Defence raised an objection in respect of the testimonies of the witnesses being closely related to the deceased---It was transparent from the record that neither during the investigation nor during the trial an iota of evidence surfaced which could prima facie speak of any ill-will or mala fide on part of the star witnesses of the prosecution which could strike a prudent mind as to depose falsely against the accused/appellant for their vested interest---Moreover, mere relationship of witnesses with deceased per se would not render them interested or partisan witnesses---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused beyond shadow of doubt, however due to some mitigating circumstances, the sentence of life imprisonment was reduced to imprisonment for ten years---With said modification in sentence, the appeal was partly allowed.
