Murder

Murder—Eye-witnesses PW-2 and PW-3, in the present case, have stated that the apellant-accused had fired only once from his licensed double-barelled gun—Medical evidence, however, shows that the deceased suffered multiple gun shot injuries—Doctors examined i.e. PW-5 & PW 10 were not ballistic experts—They were not able to state as to whether the injuries were caused by a single shot from a double-barrelled gun—Held, ocular version given by the prosecution witnesses is not inconsistent with the medical evidence—Mutiple injuries on the deceased could have been caused by a single shot from a double barrelled gun—Indian Penal Code, 1860 Section 302—Modi’s Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology (19th Ed. Pg. 221).
