GHULAM ALI VS State Ss. 302 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Motive was proved---Scope---Accused were charged that they in furtherance of their common intention committed murder of the father of the complainant by firing---Defence contended that there was an admitted enmity in between the complainant party and the accused party, therefore, false implication could not be ruled out---Such contention had no force as the incident took place in daytime wherein three eye-witnesses had fully supported the case on each and every point---Motive was always a double-edged weapon---No doubt, previous enmity could be a reason for the accused persons to commit the alleged crime, but it could equally be a reason for the complainant side to falsely implicate the accused persons in the case for previous grudge---Scrutiny of the evidence produced by the prosecution established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused persons beyond a reasonable doubt by producing reliable, trustworthy and confidence inspiring evidence---Accused though availed the chance of cross-examination to the witnesses but they failed to bring on record any material contradiction in their evidence---Prosecution also established beyond a reasonable doubt the motive against the accused persons for committing murder of the father of the complainant---Appeal against conviction was dismissed, in circumstances.
