MIRA BUKHSH VS State Ss. 302(b), 324, 337-D, 337-F(iii) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, jaifah, ghayr-jaifah-mutalahimah, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Statement of minor witness---Scope---Accused were charged for committing murder of the assistant of brother of complainant and causing injuries to his brother---Admittedly, minor brother of the complainant was a witness, but at the time of his examination-in-chief the court enquired several questions from him and found him mentally mature and fit to answer the questions correctly and even during cross-examination he replied the questions correctly, which established the soundness of his mind and his statement could not be thrown aside merely on the ground of his being minor age of 12/13 years rather alone his statement was enough to establish the charge against the culprits---Even otherwise, there was nothing on record showing that said witness was tutored by his elders---Circumstances established that the prosecution had successfully proved its case against the accused beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
