Judgment text as reported

MANZOOR AHMED VS STATE. Ss. 302(b), 377 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, sodomy, common intention---Re-appraisal of evidence---Motive not proved. Accused was charged for committing sodomy with the son of complainant and then murdering him. Record showed that in appellant's retracted confession, he stated that his motive for committing the murder was to cause the complainant grief because they had earlier exchanged bitter words. Similarly, the Investigating Officer stated that earlier on while the police interrogated the appellant, he admitted to committing the crime due to strained relations with the complainant, i.e. the deceased's father, and the complainant's brother, i.e. the deceased's uncle. Both of the complainant's brothers were present during that interrogation. Complainant's brother also submitted in his statement under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C. that the appellant had committed the crime on account of some heated exchange with the complainant. Later, complainant's brother disclaimed his earlier statement, updating his story by mentioning that no harsh words were exchanged between the complainant and the appellant rendering the exact motive doubtful. Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
