In this regard, reference is made to the
judgment in the case titled as Ijaz Ahmad v. The State (2009 SCMR 99)
wherein the August Supreme Court of Pakistan was pleased to observe as
under:--
"In the wake therefore, it proceeds that merely because the
witnesses are kith and kin, their evidence cannot be rejected, if
otherwise it is trustworthy. It would also be pertinent to mention
here that related witnesses some time, particularly in murder cases,
may be found more reliable, because they, on account of their
relation-ship with the deceased, would not let go the real culprit or
substitute an innocent person for him."
