Judgment text as reported

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---Medical evidence supporting the prosecution case---Accused was charged for committing murder of the nephew of complainant by firing---Medical evidence furnished by Medical Officer further boosted and substantiated the version of the prosecution---As per Medico-Legal Report of the deceased, he had received multiple firearm injuries on his body, which was exactly in consonance with the story of the prosecution, therefore, the medical evidence of the subject event duly supported the stance of the prosecution---Even otherwise, corroboration was only rule of caution and not a rule of law---If testimony of an eye-witness was found reliable and trustworthy then there was hardly any need to look for any corroboration---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.
