UMER ZAIB VS State S.302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Motive was not proved---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the wife of complainant by inflicting churri blows---Motive behind the occurrence was that few days prior to the occurrence, the complainant had forbidden the accused to visit his house, due to that grudge, incident took place---Record showed that a specific motive was set up in FIR, according to which the accused was trying to develop illicit relations with the deceased, who informed her husband/complainant about the bad intention of the accused and the complainant had forbidden him from coming in his house---Such like motive was a double-edged weapon, which was more suitable to the complainant to falsely implicate the accused---Furthermore, the untold story according to which seminal material was detected on vaginal and anal swabs of the deceased also defied the prosecution evidence regarding the motive, therefore, the prosecution remained unable to connect the accused with the murder of deceased through the motive part of its case---Circumstances established that the prosecution remained unable to prove the alleged guilt of the accused beyond any shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
