Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ABDULLAH VS STATE. Ss. 302(b), 337-F(i), 460, 148 & 149---Anti-Terrorism Act (XXVII of 1997), S. 7(a)---Qatl-i-amd, ghayr-jaifah damiyah, lurking house-trespass and terrorism---Re-appraisal of evidence---Multiple murders---Ocular account supported by medical evidence. Accused was convicted for murder of four persons and was sentenced to imprisonment for life on four counts. Validity. Occurrence took place at magrib wela (at the time of sunset) in the house of deceased and parties were earlier known to each other due to previous enmity of murders. There was no chance of misidentification of accused during occurrence by prosecution eye-witness. Cross examination at length was made on eye-witness / complainant but his evidence could not be shaken and nothing favourable to accused could be brought on record. Eye-witness / complainant remained consistent on all material aspects of the case like time of occurrence, the weapon used by accused, the manner in which occurrence took place etc. Evidence of eye-witness / complainant was trustworthy and confidence inspiring. Medical evidence was furnished by doctors who conducted postmortem examination on dead bodies of deceased persons and found firearms wounds on the bodies of deceased persons. Medical evidence of prosecution fully supported ocular account furnished by eyewitness / complainant. Supreme Court declined to interfere in conviction and sentence awarded to accused under Penal Code, 1860, but that under Anti-Terrorism Act, 1997, was set aside. Appeal was disposed of accordingly.
