MUHAMMAD JUMAN VS State. S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Re-appraisal of evidence---Sentence, reduction in---Mitigating circumstances---Accused were charged for committing murder of the son of complainant---Considering the depositions of various witnesses and while coming to the conclusion that the prosecution failed to prove the alleged motive, the matter tilted in favour of the accused persons to the extent of quantum of sentence---Thus, in such situation awarding the sentence of death to the accused would not be justified---Hence, under the given circumstances, petition was converted into an appeal and was partly allowed---Conviction as well as the compensation and the sentence in default thereof were upheld, the appeal therefore was hereby dismissed to that extent---However, the sentence of death of each appellant was modified to that of life imprisonment to each---With said modification in sentence, appeal was disposed of, accordingly.
