MASTER JUMAN BURIRO VS State Ss. 365-a, 109 & 34---anti-Terrorism act (XXVII of 1997), S. 7---Kidnapping or abduction for extorting property, valuable security, etc., abetment, common intention, act of terrorism---appreciation of evidence---Rule of consistency--- Scope--- accused were charged for kidnapping the brother of complainant for ransom---Record transpired that co-accused on the basis of same set of evidence had been acquitted by the Trial Court and the appeal filed by the complainant against the acquittal had also been dismissed---Nothing was available on record to show that complainant had filed any further appeal against acquittal of said co-accused---Perusal of record showed that the Trial Court while disbelieving the evidence of the prosecution witnesses against the said co-accused, on the basis of same set of evidence, had convicted the present accused which was in clear violation of rule of consistency---Rule of consistency demanded that if prosecution evidence had been disbelieved in respect of a co-accused, the same could not be relied upon for convicting other accused, unless corroborated by the evidence which came from the unimpeachable independent source, which was lacking in the present case---appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
