AMAN ULLAH VS State Ss. 302(b), 324 & 337-D---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, jaifah---Reappraisal of evidence---Sentence, reduction in---Death sentence reduced to life imprisonment---Motive not established---Motive behind the occurrence was statedly the love marriage of deceased, with the injured witness---However, the High Court had rightly discarded the same by holding that the love marriage had taken place about two years back and the grievance of the family of injured witness had been redressed as pursuant to a compromise the daughter of the deceased was given in the nikah of son of co-accused---Hence, the motive part of the prosecution case did not inspire confidence so as to term it is as a cause of the murder---Keeping in view the fact that motive was disbelieved, the High Court has rightly taken a lenient view and converted the sentence of death into imprisonment for life to meet the ends of justice, hence, it left no room to further deliberate on this point---Petitions for leave to appeal were dismissed and leave was refused.
