Judgment text as reported

MIR ZAMAN ALIAS MUHAMMAD ALAM VS STATE. Ss. 302(b), 324 & 34---Pakistan Penal Code (XLV of 1860)---Qatl-i-amd, attempt to commit qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Co-accused persons acquitted on same set of evidence---Distinguishing features---Scope. The accused was charged for committing murder of the brother of the complainant by firing and also causing firearm injuries to the complainant and a passerby. It was alleged by the defence that the case of the acquitted accused persons was at par with the appellant and they had been acquitted of the charge on the same set of evidence. The said contention of the defence was found unjustified as the acquitted accused persons were not attributed any role of firing or any overt act in the commission of offence. The appellant had specifically been nominated in the FIR with the role of firing upon the deceased and causing injuries to the complainant and a passerby. Therefore, his case was distinguishable from the acquitted accused persons. The circumstances established that the prosecution had successfully proved the charge against the appellant beyond any reasonable doubt. Appeal against conviction was dismissed accordingly.
