"Qasama"---"Qasama" was the third mode to be adopted in a criminal case under 'Sharia' when no direct or circumstantial evidence was available---Under Sharia when State was burdened with payment of Diyat amount in an un-traced case of murder, certain essential conditions were, to be fulfilled by the Trial Court before passing an order of such like nature---Such conditions were as to whether place where dead body was found was a thoroughfare and whether in such conditions the voice of deceased could not be heard/could be heard by residents of nearby area and whether place where dead body was found, had got some beneficiary value to local residents---Except the fact that alleged occurrence took place on a general thoroughfare, no other condition had been satisfied by Trial Court---Each and every case which was either untraced or in which legal heirs of deceased would not intentionally charge an assailant, could not be treated a case in which Diyat amount should be paid by the State---Occurrence in the present case had taken place in a broad-daylight in presence of so many people, injured witnesses had seen the occurrence with their own eyes, they could identify the culprits if brought before them, how the State could be directed in such a situation to pay Diyat amount---Decision of Trial Court being not in conformity with relevant provisions of law, same was set aside
