Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD YASIR KHAN VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Vicarious liability---Common intention to murder the deceased---Accused were charged that they in furtherance of their common intention committed murder of the deceased who was accompanying the complainant---Parties were known to each other being neighbours as was admitted by both the accused persons in their statements before the Trial Court---Accused had fired from his pistol, twice, as was evident from the Forensic Science Laboratory Report and the other accused was present at the place of incident, duly armed with his licensed pistol too---Presence of second accused at the place of incident had been proven beyond reasonable doubt and all the witnesses had deposed that the second accused too had fired from his pistol and despite a volley of contrary suggestions during cross-examination, the three eye-witnesses remained firm on their stance---Thus, even though shots fired by second accused did not hit the deceased, his presence at the place of incident while being armed with a pistol made him vicariously liable for the offence committed and he too had shared common intention to take the life of the deceased---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the accused persons---Appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
