Citation Name: 2024 MLD 1612 QUETTA-HIGH-COURT-BALOCHISTANBookmark this Case Dawood Shehzad VS State Ss. 302(b), 365-a & 34---anti-Terrorism act (XXVII of 1997), S. 7---Qatl-i-amd, kidnapping for ransom, common intention, act of terrorism---appreciation of evidence---DNa profile---accused were charged for committing murder of the son of complainant after abducting him for ransom---DNa report affirmed that deceased was the biological child of complainant and that the recovered cigarette from the crime scene was a mixture of at least two individuals, whereof the DNa of accused "D" could not be excluded as contributor to the DNa, whereas recovered chewed gum matched with the DNa profile of said accused---another recovered item matched with the DNa profile of accused "M"---DNa reports had been found to be in line with the disclosures and other circumstantial evidence, leaving no room to doubt the guilt of accused "I" and "D"---as far as the evidence against remaining three accused persons was concerned, although their names did figure in the disclosures made by accused "I" and "D", but the same could at best be used against them alone and not against the co-convict without any trustworthy, confidence inspiring and strong corroborative piece of evidence---Thus, said three accused persons could not be held guilty of the indictment in absence thereof, and the findings of guilt to their extent was unsustainable---appeal against conviction filed by three accused "MM", "R" and "MB" were allowed---appeal filed by two accused persons "D" and "I" were partly allowed by maintaining the conviction, however, capital sentence of death was converted into life imprisonment.
