Abid VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Interested witnesses, evidence of---Reliance---Scope---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by inflicting axe blows---Statements of closely related witnesses of the complainant or deceased could not be discarded from consideration solely on such ground---Witnesses had been found entirely independent and truthful in the present case, therefore, their testimony without looking for any other corroborative evidence, would alone be sufficient to establish the charge---Evidence of related witnesses, who were not found inimical, and their evidence was confidence-inspiring would hardly need any corroboration---Complainant was real brother of the deceased, while eye-witness was the son of deceased---Parties were known to each other previously, being residents of same vicinity, thus the question of mistaken identity of the real culprits did not arise---It was hard to believe that both witnesses would substitute the appellant for the real culprits, who had committed murder of their deceased brother and father, respectively---Circumstances established that the prosecution had successfully proved the charge against the appellant beyond any shadow of reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
