Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Sibtain VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Co-accused acquitted on same set of evidence---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother-in-law of complainant by inflicting hatchet blow---Both the witnesses were disbelieved to the extent of co-accused and resultantly she was acquitted by the Trial Court---Though, criminal appeal against her acquittal was preferred but it met the fate of dismissal---Thus, it would wholly be unjust to place explicit reliance upon the statements of same set of witnesses for maintaining conviction of appellant who were disbelieved to the extent of his co-accused---Unambiguously, the acquittal of co-accused left a dent upon the credibility of the two witnesses as according to accusations, she was active participant of the crime---Evidence of witnesses who were disbelieved to the extent of one set of accused was also discarded against the convict---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
