Judgment text as reported

ZIA ULLAH VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---Prosecution case was primarily structured upon ocular account furnished by deceased's son and another witness---Deceased's son being resident of the house in front whereof the deceased was engaged by the assailants could be safely viewed as a natural witness; and he was not expected to swap the assassins of his father with innocent persons---Both the witnesses confidently furnished graphic details of the incident; and despite being subjected to lengthy cross-examination, both firmly held the ground---Although inclusion of abettors and three unknown aids in the crime was a suspect circumstance, nonetheless, it did not decisively reflect upon culpability of accused persons, which was independently established by confidence inspiring evidence---Plea of false implication raised by accused persons when seen in light of medical evidence merited outright rejection---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed and conviction and sentence of imprisonment for life imposed on the accused persons was maintained.
