Khalil Ahmad VS State Ss. 302(b), 148 & 149---Qatl-i-amd, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused were charged for making firing upon the complainant party, due to which the brother and servant of the complainant were hit and died---According to the prosecution version it was alleged that there was previous enmity between both sides---While appearing in the dock on oath, all the prosecution witnesses admitted that the complainant and his deceased brother as well as other relatives were involved in number of criminal cases and in FIR No.99/2013, under S.302, P.P.C, registered at Police Station, two co-accused were cited as eyewitnesses against them---Even the complainant and deceased were convicted by Court, in one case---Motive is always considered as a double edged weapon---At the one hand, if it gives a reason or motivation to the accused to commit the crime, on the other hand, it equally provides impetus to the complainant to falsely implicate the accused in the case to satisfy the lust of rivalry---Moreover, motive is not substantive piece of evidence rather same is merely a circumstance, which may lead the accused to commit the occurrence---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the accused persons beyond any reasonable doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
