Judgment text as reported

Ali Hassan VS State Ss. 302(c), 379, 452, 148 & 149---Qatl-i-amd, theft, house-trespass after preparation for hurt, assault, or wrongful restraint, rioting armed with deadly weapon, unlawful assembly---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother-in-law of the complainant and also stealing money from the shop of the victim---As per own case of prosecution mentioned in application and FIR, motive was attributed to co-accused and not to the present appellant---Even otherwise, when substantive evidence in the form of ocular account had not been found as confidence inspiring, then motive on the one hand could not cure said defect of the case of prosecution whereas on the other hand, it lost its significance because as alone, it could not be made basis for sustaining the conviction---Motive was neither substantive nor direct or corroborative piece of evidence rather only circumstance leading to the offence---Furthermore, motive was the double-edged weapon and could cut both sides and also could be equal reason for false implication of the accused---So, alleged motive was of no help to prosecution against the appellant---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
