Qaiser Abbas VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Scope---Accused was charged for committing murder of the complainant by firing---Motive behind the occurrence was stated to be an altercation between the deceased and accused prior to the occurrence---Motive set up by the prosecution in the fard bayyan, FIR and deposed by sister and brother of deceased had been found to have remained un-proved---Prosecution case in that regard was vague and could hardly inspire confidence---Sister of the deceased deposed that she did not record in her statement before the police that any altercation was happened in between his deceased brother and accused---Therefore, the evidence led by the prosecution in connection with motive was not sufficient for placing reliance on the testimonies of the witnesses for committing the occurrence---Motive was a double-edged weapon for the occurrence and for false implications---Moreover, there were always different motives that operated in the mind of the person in making false accusation---In the circumstances, the motive, as alleged, was an afterthought and had not been proved by any credible evidence---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
