Mst. Fateh Khatoon VS Muhammad Qasim Ss. 302(b), 201, 342, 337-H(2), 506(2), 109, 148 & 149---Qatl-i-amd, causing disappearance of evidence of offence or giving false information to screen offenders, wrongful confinement, hurt by rash or negligent act, criminal intimidation, abetment, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly---Appreciation of evidence---Medical evidence---Scope---Accused were charged for committing murder of the nephew of the complainant by firing---Medical evidence, at its best, served only as a piece of supporting evidence---Medical evidence may confirm the fact of receipt of injuries, their nature and the kind of weapon used in the occurrence; however, it can never, by itself, establish the identity of the assailant---Sole reliance on medical evidence, therefore, could not suffice to hold that it was the accused who committed the murder of the deceased---In the present case, the Medical Officer was unable to specify the precise kind of weapon used in the commission of the offence, nor could he categorically correlate the injuries with any particular weapon allegedly recovered from the accused---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
