Judgment text as reported

Jamroz Khan VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Motive not proved---Accused was charged for committing murder of his wife/daughter of the complainant by firing---Main stance of prosecution for committing murder of deceased was adispute about existence of first marriage of the accused/appellant whose first wife was also living in the same house and prosecution witnesses claimed that due to such reason deceased usually had quarrels with the accused/appellant but no such material was brought on record with respect to such dispute between the spouses and going to the house of accused/appellant by two witnesses in order to resolve the issue was also without any substance because neither any call was made by the deceased nor they had heard about any quarrel between the spouses on that day---Prosecution had also not produced any witness who could have supported the fact of quarrel between the spouses nor the investigator had conducted the investigation on that aspect of the matter---Thus, motive in this case remained shrouded in mystery---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
