Judgment text as reported

Shahid Ali alias Makhi VS State Ss. 302(b), 316 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, qatl shibh-i-amd common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Unlikely for complainant and eye-witnesses to falsely implicate the accused---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by giving kicks and fists blows---In the absence of any previous ill-will, malice, animosity or grudge against the appellant, it was highly unlikely for the complainant or the eye-witnesses to make the appellant a scapegoat be letting off the actual perpetrators of the offence---Substitution of real culprits especially in cases where the eye-witnesses lost their kith and kin before their own eyes is a rare phenomenon---Circumstances established that case of the appellant fell within the scope of "qatl shibh-i-amd" as defined in S.315, P.P.C., and made punishable under S.316, P.P.C.---Thus, the conviction and sentence awarded by the Trial Court to the appellant on the charge under S.302(b), P.P.C. was set aside and while convicting him under S.316, P.P.C., he was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 10-years on account of committing qatl shibh-i-amd of deceased---Appeal was dismissed with modification in the conviction and sentence of the appellant.
