ORDER

ASLAM RIAZ HUSSAIN, J.-This Jail Appeal by Sardar and Dildar by leave of this Court granted on 21-1- 1981 on the ground that the injuries caused to Muhammad All deceased, who is alleged to have been shot at by Dildar appellant with a .12 bore pistol were, in fact, caused by rifle shots and as such the medical evidence contradicted the ocular testimony of the eye-witnesses to that extent.

2. We have carefully gone through the prosecution version as given by the eye-witnesses as also the medical evidence. We notice that according to the prosecution Sardar appellant who was carrying a rifle is also stated to have fired at Muhammad Ali deceased, while Dildar appellant shot at him with his .12 bore pistol. The absence of .12 bore injuries on the person of Muhammad Ali deceased may, at the most go to show that either he did not fire at the deceased or the shots fired by him missed. But in any case it is established that he was present with Sardar throughout the incident in which the two persons were killed and one, namely, Saeed Ahmad (P. W. 1E) was injured.

Saeed P. W. Is stated to have been fired at by Dildar with .12 bore pistol and medical examination reveals the presence of pellet injuries on his person. As such Dildar was rightly convicted alongwith Sardar by application of section 34, P. P. C. Is no discrepancy between the medical evidence and the ocular testimony.

3. After carefully considering the evidence we are of the view that there is no discrepancy between the medical evidence and the ocular testimony.

' Leave order is, therefore, recalled and the .
