Judgment text as reported

GHAFFAR MAHESAR VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---Occurrence was a daylight affair---Three prosecution witnesses, including the deceased's father, unanimously pointed their finger upon the accused as being one of the assassins---Father of deceased was certainly not expected to substitute the real assassin of his son with a proxy---Statements of said three prosecution witnesses were in a comfortable unison on all the salient aspects of the case as well as details collateral thereto---Being from the same neighbourhood, their presence at the crime scene could not be viewed with suspicion---Medical evidence was consistent with the timeline of the occurrence as well as injuries suffered by the deceased---Preponderance of evidence undoubtedly constituted "proof beyond doubt" and, thus, could be relied upon without any objection to hold the accused guilty of the crime---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, and leave was refused.
