We seek guidance in this regard
from case titled “FAQEER MUHAMMAD versus SHAHBAZ ALI and
others” (2016 SCMR 1441). The relevant dictum from page No.1443 is
hereby reproduced:-
“The Post-mortem Examination Reporting pertaining to the
deadbody of Iftikhar Ahmed deceased clearly establishes that the
post-mortem examination had taken place after about 24 to 30 hours
of the death of the deceased which factor clearly indicated that time
had been consumed by the local police and the complainant party in
cooking up a story for the prosecution and in procuring and planting
eyewitnesses.”
