21. It was also noted that as many as six injuries (mentioned
above) were available on the body of deceased. The Medical Officer
(PW-6), during postmortem examination, also observed that signs of
“blackening were present” around the injuries No.1, 2 and 4. In the
cross-examination, he (PW-6) has deposed that blackening on an injury
always caused from less than three feet. Contrary to the above, we have
noticed that in the scaled and un-scaled site plans (Exh.PA and
Exh.PA/1), prepared on the instructions of the eyewitnesses, the
distance in between the accused and deceased was 8/9 feet which
speaks at volume, with regard to the presence of the eyewitnesses at the
time and place of occurrence. Reliance can be placed on the case of
Muhammad Afzal versus The State (2015 P.Cr.L.J. 111).
