MUHAMMAD IBRAHIM Versus STATE

ORDER

1. ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J .‑Muhammad Ibrahim petitioner was tried and convicted by the Additional Sessions Judge, Tharparkar for the murder of his wife Mst. Razia by giving her knife blows and was sentenced, inter alia to imprisonment for life. The occurrence was witnessed by her mother Mst. Hamida Begum P. W. 4 and her daughter Mst. Zarina (P. W. 11) aged 12/13 years, who were present inside the house when the incident took place. , Her father Shafi Muhammad P. W. 5, Photo P. W. 6 and Muhammad Hayat P. W. 7 also rushed to the house on hearing noise and witnessed the occurrence. Muhammad Hayat was not relied on, but the remaining witnesses were believed on by both the Courts below. Mst. Hamida and Mst. Zarina P. Ws. were natural witnesses as were present in their house at the time of the occurrence. No doubt Shafi Muhammad P. W. 5 is father of the deceased but his testimony as well as that of the two women named above is corroborated by the statement of Photo P. W. 6, who is not related to the deceased and is an independent witness. The ocular evidence is also corroborated by the medical evidence.

2. No law point has been raised and in view of the well reasoned an elaborate judgment delivered by the learned Division Bench of the High Court we do not consider it to be a fit case for reappraisal of evidence. The petition is therefore dismissed.

3. Petition dismissed.
