Judgment text as reported

Wajid Ali VS State Ss. 302(b), 201, 109, 120-B, 148 & 149---Qatl-i-amd, causing disappearance of evidence of offence, abetment, criminal conspiracy, rioting armed with deadly weapons, unlawful assembly---Appreciation of evidence---Independent evidence in respect of motive not collected----Not consequential---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant and buried the dead body with the help of co-accused---Motive was the illicit relationship between the deceased and his sister-in-law---Interesting to note that the deceased was engaged to daughter of the co-accused, but the family was suspecting the deceased of having illicit relationship with the sister of his fiancée---It was true that the Investigating Officer failed to collect independent evidence in respect of the alleged motive and neither the statements of sister-in-law of appellant "W", nor that of sister of his fiancée were recorded, but that by itself was not sufficient to discard the collected evidence on file---As the case rested upon the circumstantial evidence, so the absence of their statement would hardly favour the appellants---Circumstances established that the prosecution had proved its case against the appellant "W" beyond any shadow of doubt, however due to mitigating circumstance, his death sentence was altered to imprisonment for life---Appeal against conviction was dismissed with modification in sentence, in circumstances.
