Judgment text as reported

Imran alias Mana VS State Ss. 302(b) & 34---Qatl-i-amd, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the brother of complainant by firing---Motive behind the occurrence statedly was that one "AJ" had a money dispute with the accused, for which deceased stood as an arbitrator and decided it to the effect that nothing was payable from "AJ"---To prove the motive it was very easy for the complainant to bring "AJ" in the witness box to substantiate and corroborate him---Non-production of "AJ" by the complainant without any justification or reasonable excuse amounted to withholding of material evidence from the Court---In such a situation, this Court had no other option but to hold that he would not have supported the prosecution case if "AJ" was brought before the Court---Furthermore, during cross- examination, complainant categorically admitted that neither he described the nature and details of the dispute nor produced any document to the Investigating Officer---In such a way, the prosecution could not prove the motive against the appellant---Once the motive is set up by the prosecution and the same is not proved, the prosecution shall suffer---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
