Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Nadeem VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Co-accused acquitted on the basis of same evidence---Effect---Accused was charged that he along with his co-accused committed murder of his wife---Record showed that co-accused of the accused hadbeen acquitted of the charge through the impugned judgment to whom effective role was ascribed by the prosecution in the occurrence---Prosecution had candidly conceded that no appeal against acquittal had been filed either by the State or the complainant, meaning thereby, that complainant was satisfied with his acquittal---Once prosecution witnesses are disbelieved with respect to a co-accused then, they cannot be relied upon with regard to the other co-accused unless they are supported by corroboratory evidence coming from any independent source and which is unimpeachable in nature, but this was not available in the present case---Appeal against conviction was accordingly allowed.
