Judgment text as reported

Muhammad Abid VS State S. 302(b)---Qatl-i-amd---Appreciation of evidence---Motive not proved---Accused was charged for committing murder of the son of complainant by firing---Motive of the occurrence as stated by the eye-witnesses in their statements recorded by the Trial Court was that the appellant suspected that the deceased had given information to the police about the brother of the appellant who thereafter was killed in an encounter with the police---Statements of the eye-witnesses showed that the motive as alleged could not be proved---During cross-examination, both the eye-witnesses admitted that neither the deceased nor the witnesses had reported the matter of deceased facing threats to his life at the hands of the appellant---Investigating Officer of the case, also did not collect any evidence with regard to the motive of the incident so as to establish that there was any grievance developing in the heart of the appellant as against the deceased which motivated him to act in the manner in which he did---Prosecution witnesses failed to provide evidence enabling to determine the truthfulness of the motive alleged and the fact that the said motive was so compelling that it could have led the appellant to have committed the qatl-i-amd of the deceased---There was a haunting silence with regard to the minutiae of motive alleged---No independent witness was produced by the prosecution to prove the motive as alleged---Even otherwise a tainted piece of evidence cannot corroborate another tainted piece of evidence---Appeal against conviction was allowed, in circumstances.
