AHMAD BILAL VS STATE S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Contradiction in shifting the victim to hospital---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by firing---It was alleged by the defence that according to the report of Rescue 1122, the deceased while in injured condition was shifted to hospital by the Rescue 1122, which belied the claim of eye-witnesses for shifting the deceased to the hospital in rickshaw---Said piece of evidence did not advance any purpose of the defence for the simple reason that the said report did not disclose from where Rescue 1122 shifted the deceased while in injured condition to the hospital---Investigating Officer during cross-examination deposed that initially the injured was boarded on rickshaw but on the way to the hospital he was shifted to the vehicle of Rescue 1122---If that was not the case, it was very easy for the defence to examine the relevant person of Rescue 1122 to confirm that the injured was picked from the place of occurrence but no such effort was made in the absence whereof, no benefit could be extended to the appellant on the basis of such report---Moreover, it was understandable that father of deceased who was hit by a bullet could not be expected to wait till the arrival of vehicle of Rescue 1122---First and foremost wish of the father of injured would be to save the life of his son and for that purpose if he boarded him on rickshaw but on the way vehicle of Rescue 1122 met him upon which the deceased while in injured condition was shifted, it was not incumbent upon him to disclose such fact in the crime report and that omission could not belie presence of eye-witnesses at the venue of occurrence at the relevant time---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
