Judgment text as reported

Tahir Mahmood VS State Ss. 302(b), 201, 114 & 34---Qatl-i-amd, intentionally causing evidence of an offence to disappear or giving false information to screen an offender, abettor present when offence committed, common intention---Appreciation of evidence---Benefit of doubt---Motive not proved---Accused were charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by inflicting toka blows---Motive of the occurrence as stated by the eye-witness was previous enmity---Perusal of the statement of eye-witness revealed that he failed to prove the motive of the occurrence as narrated by him in his statement before the trial Court---Perusal of the statement of eye-witness clearly proved that he failed to give any evidence enabling to determine the truthfulness of the motive alleged---Eye-witnesses failed to prove the fact that the said motive was so compelling that it could have led the appellants to have committed the qatl-i-amd of the deceased---There was a haunting silence with regard to the minutiae of the motive alleged---No independent witness was produced by the prosecution to prove the motive as alleged---Moreover, it is an admitted rule of appreciation of evidence that motive is only a corroborative piece of evidence and if the ocular account is found to be unreliable then motive alone cannot be made basis of conviction---Even otherwise a tainted piece of evidence cannot corroborate another tainted piece of evidence---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
