His presence at the<\/p>\n<p>dvdscene of occurrence is not seriously challenged in the<\/p>\n<p> cross&#8211;examination, therefore, he is a competent witness.<\/p>\n<p>It is necessary to note that the accused is also reiated to<\/p>\n<p>the deceased and PWJ7. The material witnesses namely,<\/p>\n<p>:7-\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">16<\/span><\/p>\n<p>PWs. 7 , 15 and 16 had no axe to gI&#8217;iT1C1&#8217;V.&#8217;.f\u20ac&#8217;i.'&#8221;g:V:8i&#8217;i1i&#8217;_iS1:;&#8217;V&#8217;the<\/p>\n<p>accused and there was no reason for theymv  falsely&#8217; <\/p>\n<p>depose against the accused. Under&#8217; these ~circ&#8217;ui_nsta&#8217;nc&#8217;es. 7.<\/p>\n<p>in my opinion, the 1earned4&#8243;Sessions<br \/>\naccepted the evidence of  &#8216;to the<br \/>\nconclusion that     defence<br \/>\ntheory and that OiA&#8221;~th%efsig&#8217;.V&#8211;~u7itneSSeS would<br \/>\nclearly gniiicted stab wound on<br \/>\nthe   as such, the accused<br \/>\n the deceased Hussain.

The<\/p>\n<p>  &#8216;iifact that&#8217; the knife was not sent to the Forensic<\/p>\n<p> examination has not in any Way discredited the case of<\/p>\n<p>the prosecution. Recovery of veil during inquest, in my<br \/>\nopinion, has no signi\ufb01cance in the case on hand. I do<\/p>\n<p>not see any discrepancy in the evidence of PWs. 7, 15 &amp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">17<\/span><\/p>\n<p>16. which would discredit their testimony.
