Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD FAISAL VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Motive proved---Brutality of murder---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of the complainant by inflicting Toka blows---Motive was described as delayed arrival of the deceased at his work place which irked the accused who went violent to the extent of taking the life of an innocent young boy aged 17-years---Weakness of motive or failure of prosecution to prove it, lost significance in a barbarous murder incident like the instant one and the convict deserved no leniency in the quantum of sentence---Weakness of motive or failure of prosecution to prove it could admittedly be made basis for having resort to alternate sentence of imprisonment for life provided in S. 302(b), P.P.C., but such rule was not inflexible and deviation could be made from it if the deceased was done to death with display of brutality---Circumstances established that the prosecution had succeeded in proving its case against the accused beyond any shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
