Judgment text as reported

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---Lodging of FIR with promptitude---Accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---Incident took place on 16.04.2017 at about 02.00 am(night), which was reported to the police promptly on the same day at about 03.30 am i.e. within 1½ hours---Formal FIR was chalked out at 03.45 am, despite the fact that inter-se distance between the place of occurrence and the police station was twenty six kilometers containing name of the accused with his specific role of making fire shots at the deceased---Such fact, not only confirmed presence of the eye-witnesses at the spot but also excluded every hypothesis of deliberation, consultation and fabrication prior to the registration of the case and also ruled out the possibility of mistaken identity or substitution---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.
