Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD DANIYAL VS State. Ss.302(b), 302(c) & 34---Anti-Terrorism Act (XXVII of 1997), S.7---Qatl-i-amd, common intention, act of terrorism---Reappraisal of evidence---Motive not proved. Accused-petitioners were charged for committing murder of 19-year old student with firearm. Prosecution witness/father of deceased was admittedly not an eye-witness of occurrence. According to said witness, petitioners-convicts were serving as gunmen/guards of SSP and deceased had developed relationship with niece of Personal Assistant of said SSP, on which Personal Assistant of SSP was displeased and due to alleged grudge deceased was murdered by petitioners-convicts at the instigation of Personal Assistant of SSP. No sufficient or convincing evidence was found on record to substantiate said assertion of father of deceased. Mere bald allegation without solid proof and evidence would not be sufficient to believe motive advanced by father of deceased. Circumstances established that prosecution had proved its case beyond shadow of doubt, however, ingredients of offence under Section 302(c), P.P.C., were attracted in present case rather than those of Section 302(b), P.P.C. Convictions under Section 302(b), P.P.C., were converted into Section 302(c), P.P.C., and accused were sentenced to undergo 15-years imprisonment. Petition was converted into appeal and disposed of accordingly.
