Judgment text as reported

Saeed akhtar VS State Ss. 302(b) & 109---Qatl-i-amd, abetment---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Motive not proved---Accused was charged for committing murder of the husband of complainant by firing---Motive asserted by the prosecution was registration of an earlier case due to land dispute against deceased by one "AZ" thus complainant suspected that said persons and others abetted the occurrence but while appearing in the dock complainant admitted that they did not have any rivalry/enmity with the appellant---Even otherwise, complainant stated that they had suspicion about the involvement of accused persons in the instant case, so, he initially nominated them and now he had been satisfied that they had nothing to do with that occurrence---In the absence of proof of motive, the real cause behind the murder remained shrouded in mystery and it could not be ascertained that what actually had happened at the spot which prompted the accused/appellant to take life of an innocent person, with whom apparently he was not carrying any grudge or grouse---Circumstances established that the prosecution had failed to prove its case against the appellant beyond the shadow of doubt---Appeal against conviction was allowed, accordingly.
