Judgment text as reported

Syed Nabi Shah VS State Ss. 302(b), 324 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the deceased by firing and also causing fire arm injuries to the complainant---Motive was stated to be the refusal of the hand of the deceased by her father, but as the deceased got married and spent as many as 03 years with her husband and no attempt was made by the appellant to kill her at the earliest, so the prosecution failed to prove the motive, that too, when no independent witness was examined in that respect---True that weakness or absence of motive would hardly be a circumstance for the acquittal of an accused, but when motive was the only cause of killing, then its failure may lead to outright acquittal and the present case was no exception---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
