“3. It is not disputed that four co-accused of the
appellant attributed effective firing at and specific
injuries to Rustam Ali deceased had been acquitted
by the trial court. The law is settled that if the eyewitnesses have been disbelieved against some
accused persons attributed effective roles then the
same eye-witnesses cannot be believed against
another accused person attributed a similar role
unless such eye-witnesses receive independent
corroboration qua the other accused person and a
reference in this respect may be made to the cases
of Ghulam Sikandar v. Mumaraz Khan
(PLD 1985 SC 11), Sarfraz alias Sappi v. The
State (2000 SCMR 1758), Iftikhar Hussain and
others v. The State (2004 SCMR 1185) and Akhtar
Ali v. The State (2008 SCMR 6)”
