Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD AMEER alias KALI VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---State of affairs between the families of the complainant and the accused party, as reflected in their cross examination, unmistakably pointed towards a troubled relationship---Illicit liaison and abduction of two females were succinct part of the record, pointing towards motive, which left hardly any space to entertain hypothesis of substitution---Accused started the assault with his first fire shot landing on the chest of deceased; it created five apertures all around the frontal part of deceased's body, caused massive damage---Two casings secured from the spot, were found wedded with the weapon recovered on the disclosure of accused, which pointed towards the accused as being the only aggressor---In such circumstances to maintain the conviction of the co-accused was fraught with risk of error but at the same time it did not dismantle prosecution's case qua the accused---Consequently, out of abundant caution and with a view to ensure safe administration of criminal justice, conviction and sentence of co-accused were set aside and he was acquitted of the charges against him, however, conviction and sentence of accused were maintained---Petitions for leave to appeal were disposed of.
