Judgment text as reported

FAZAL MUHAMMAD VS State. Ss.302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Reappraisal of evidence---Benefit of doubt. Petitioners were charged for committing murder of sister of complainant. As per record, co-convict, petitioner "Y", had not made any judicial confession before Court. There was no evidence of any extra judicial confession, last seen or wajtakar against said petitioner. In judicial confession of "FM" (co-accused), he categorically stated that he forced petitioner "Y", who was his wife, to participate in occurrence but there was no judicial confession or extra judicial confession of "Y" petitioner herself that she participated in murder of deceased. Nothing incriminating was recovered from possession or on pointing out of "Y" petitioner. Therefore, prosecution had failed to prove its case against "Y", petitioner, beyond shadow of doubt. Petition was converted into an appeal and was partly allowed and she was acquitted of charges.
