Muhammad Dilshad VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by knife stabbing---Motive as per prosecution case was that the appellant borrowed money from deceased and when deceased demanded his money back the appellant committed the murder of son of the complainant---Motive was only an oral assertion of the complainant because no date, time and place as well as figure of borrowed money had been described by the witnesses---Investigating Officer had stated in his cross-examination that the complainant did not provide any details of money and also did not produce any witness for such outstanding amount---No detail regarding time and place for such outstanding amount was provided to him---In such circumstances, no material had been produced by the prosecution to substantiate the motive alleged by the prosecution, hence, the prosecution had failed to prove the motive part of the occurrence---Although, the prosecution is not under obligation to establish a motive in every murder case but if prosecution sets up a motive but fails to prove it, then, it is the prosecution which has to suffer and not the accused---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
