Munir Hussain Shah VS State Ss. 302(b) & 458---Qatl-i-amd, lurking house-trespass or house-breaking by night after preparation for hurt, assault, or wrongful restraint---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---Motive as set out by the prosecution was that the appellant wanted to exchange valuable agricultural land of the deceased situated at road side with his land and upon refusal of the deceased, he committed his murder---Nothing in black and white had been placed on record to establish that the parties were in possession of their respective lands pursuant to any partition---Since neither there was any proper partition of the land which was made part of revenue record nor there was any quarrel between the parties qua the agricultural land as admitted by the complainant, therefore, motive as set out by the prosecution was nothing except word of mouth---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the appellate beyond any shadow of doubt, however, due to mitigating circumstances, the capital punishment was converted into one of imprisonment for life---Appeal was dismissed with said modification in sentence.
