MUHAMMAD IJAZ VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Reappraisal of evidence---Sentence, quantum of---Sentence of imprisonment for life awarded to accused instead of death sentence---Justified---Report of the Forensic Science Laboratory was negative, therefore, the recovery of weapon of offence was inconsequential---So far as motive part of the prosecution story was concerned, the Trial Court had rightly disbelieved the motive by holding that was a vaguely formulated motive because no material evidence could be placed on record to prove the motive---Courts below had already taken a lenient view while awarding the sentence of imprisonment for life to the accused (instead of death sentence)---Petition for leave to appeal was dismissed, leave was refused and conviction and sentence awarded to accused was maintained.
