A.No.636/2012 Page 1 of 7Briefly stated, the prosecution case as reflected in the charge- sheet was that on 23.06.2010 at about 10.30 A.M. at House No.G-57, Gali No.3, Shastri Park, the appellant sexually assaulted 'X' (assumed name) aged four years and also committed carnal intercourse.Police machinery swung into action when intimation about the incident was reported and Daily Diary (DD) No. 29B was recorded at Police Station Usmanpur.The investigation was assigned to SI Amit Malik, who with Const.Subodh went the spot.In her 164 Cr.P.C. statement (Ex.PW-2/B), she named the appellant and attributed a specific role to him in the crime.In her Court statement as PW-1, she identified the accused to be the perpetrator of the crime.Learned Presiding Officer had put number of questions to the child witness to ascertain if she was able to understand the questions and give rationale answer.After satisfying that 'X' was a competent witness and understood the questions put to her, her statement was recorded.In her Crl.A.No.636/2012 Page 3 of 7 deposition before the Court, she gave detailed account as to how and under what circumstances, the appellant had taken her to his house after giving her one rupee.She also disclosed that in the house the appellant sexually assaulted her and also put his penis into her private part, he gave a cheek bite.In the cross-examination, nothing was suggested if the appellant had not taken 'X' to his house. 'X' was categorical to say that the act was done by the accused in the morning time and she was taken for medical examination to the doctor.The appellant did not deny his presence at the relevant time in his house.No ulterior motive was assigned to the child witness to make a false statement.A.No.636/2012 Page 3 of 74. PW-2 (Jainab), X's mother proved the version given to the police at first instance (EX.PW-2/A) without any variation.On 23.06.2010 at about 10 / 11.00 A.M. when she did not find 'X' aged four years, she went to the appellant's room which was bolted from inside.She banged the door and enquired if 'X' was inside the house.At first instance, the appellant denied her presence but when 'X' herself disclosed from inside that she was there, the door was opened.On enquiry, 'X' narrated her ordeal to her mother.The police was informed.PW-2 further disclosed that the appellant and her sister attempted to win her over and to Crl.A.No.636/2012 Page 4 of 7 accept money for not reporting the matter to the police.In the cross- examination, she denied if a sum of `10,000/- was borrowed from the accused and for its non-payment, he was falsely implicated.The testimony of this witness is crucial as she has found both 'X' and the appellant together in the room of the accused soon after the incident.The appellant did not explain as to what had prompted him to take the child to his room without the permission of her parents and what was the necessity to bolt the door from inside and to deny her availability in the house on the asking of her mother.PW-3 (Mohd. Jilani), X's father, has deposed on similar lines.A.No.636/2012 Page 4 of 7Aggrieved by a judgment dated 20.12.2011 in Sessions Case No.254/2010 emanating from FIR No.203/2010 PS New Usmanpur by which the appellant - Abdul Alim was held guilty for committing offence under Sections 354/377 IPC, the instant appeal has been preferred by him By an order dated 21.12.2011, the appellant was awarded RI for two years with fine ` 5,000/- under Section 354 IPC and RI for ten years with fine `10,000/- under Section 377 IPC.A.No.636/2012 Page 1 of 7After recording statements of the victim's mother (Ex.PW-2/A), he lodged First Information Report. 'X' was medically examined and her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was recorded.The accused was arrested and medically examined.Statements of the witnesses conversant with the facts were recorded.After completion of investigation, a charge-sheet was filed against the accused for committing offences under Sections 376 read with Section 511 IPC and 377 IPC.The appellant was charged for committing offences under Sections 377 and 376 (2)(f) read with Section 511 IPC.However, subsequent to the recording of the testimony of the prosecution witnesses, the charge was amended and the appellant was charged under Sections 377 and 376 (2)(f) IPC.He abjured his guilt and pleaded false implication.The prosecution examined ten witnesses to establish the appellant's guilt.A.No.636/2012 Page 2 of 7 In 313 Cr.P.C. statement, the appellant denied his involvement in the crime and alleged that he was falsely implicated due to non-payment of `10,000/- advanced to X's father.He examined DW-1 (Gulshan), his wife in defence.After appreciating the evidence and considering the rival contentions of the parties, the Trial Court, by the impugned judgment, acquitted the appellant of the offence under Section 376 (2)(f) and 376 (2)(f)/511 IPC.The trial, however, resulted in his conviction under Section 377/354 IPC.Being aggrieved and dissatisfied, the appeal has been preferred.It is relevant to note that State did not challenge appellant's acquittal under Section 376 IPC.A.No.636/2012 Page 2 of 7I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have examined the file.Her testimony remained unchallenged on material facts.5. 'X' was medically examined vide MLC (Ex.PW-9/A) at around 11.00 P.M. The alleged history records that the 'X' was sexually assaulted by a tenant in the same building and she was found in his room.There was no occasion for the 'X's parents to concoct a false story of her presence inside the room of the accused.Appellant's involvement had surfaced immediately after the crime and there was no delay in reporting the incident to the police.Minor contradictions, improvements in the testimony of the prosecution witnesses are inconsequential as they do not affect the core of the prosecution case and absolve the appellant of the crime. 'X' and her Crl.A.No.636/2012 Page 5 of 7 parents had no prior animosity with the appellant to falsely rope him in this ghastly crime.They had no reasons to level serious allegations of unnatural offence for alleged non-payment of ` 10,000/-.They were not expected to bring her child / daughter in disrepute and play with her life.Unless an offence has really been committed, an unmarried little girl and her parents would be extremely reluctant to make such allegations which are likely to reflect on her chastity.No evidence has surfaced if any amount of ` 10,000/- was ever paid by the accused or his wife if so when and by what mode, and for its non-payment, the accused was implicated.The defence deserves outright rejection.There are no sound reasons to disbelieve 'X', an innocent child who was unaware of the consequences of the act of the accused.The accused who lived in the neighbourhood took advantage of the innocence of the child and allured her in his room on the pretext to give her some cash.A.No.636/2012 Page 5 of 7The impugned judgment based upon fair appraisal of the evidence deserves no interference.Considering the gravity of the offence whereby a child aged four years was ravished, Sentence Order needs no modification except that the default sentence for non-payment of fine `10,000/- shall be Simple Imprisonment for fifteen days in all.A.No.636/2012 Page 6 of 7A.No.636/2012 Page 6 of 7The appeal stands disposed of in the above terms.Trial Court record be sent back forthwith with the copy of the order.A copy of the order be sent to the Superintendent Jail for information.(S.P.GARG) JUDGE MARCH 09, 2015 / tr Crl.A.No.636/2012 Page 7 of 7A.No.636/2012 Page 7 of 7

/307 of the Indian Penal Code against the petitioners.After commitment of the case to the Court of Sessions, the same was transferred to the Court of the Learned Additional Sessions Judge, 9th Fast Track Court, Alipore, 24-Parganas (South) for trial, when on behalf of the petitioners an application under Section 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was moved for discharge as 2 far as the offence punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code is concerned.However, the Learned Judge rejected the said application.Now, the petitioners' invoking Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure moved this criminal revision for quashing of the same.Now, having regards to the charge-sheet materials, I find it is the case of the prosecution, that on September 10, 2006 at about 21.50 hours in front of 49/5, Circular Garden Road, Kolkata - 23, a free fighting was ensued between two group of miscreants and having receipt of such information, when Sub-Inspector of Police S. K. Ghosh attached to the South Port Police Station, accompanied by his force arrived there and tried to disperse the mob, the petitioners attacked the police party and started throwing brickbats.At that time, the accused Manoj Gupta, the petitioner no. 1 instigated the mob by saying "Yei hai Ghosh Babu isko Mar Dalo", when someone from the mob hurled a brickbat towards the said Sub-Inspector of police, which hits on his shoulder causing grievous injury on his person.However, having gone through the materials contained in the Case Diary produced before this Court on May 3, 2010, i.e. on the first date of hearing, this Court found the witness Matalub Khan and Md. Sohrab Alam stated nothing as against the present petitioners.However, the Sub-Inspector Sanat Kumar Ghosh in his statement alleged that while he arrived at the spot with force and tried to disperse the mob, the mob led by Manoj attacked him and Manoj instigated the mob by saying "Yei hai Ghosh Babu isko sala Mar Dalo'.Immediately, the witness was hit with a stone/brickbat on his collar bone and 3 suffered severe injuries and was removed to the Kolkata Police Hospital with fracture on his collar bone.But upon perusal of the injury report of the injured Police Officer, recorded at the Kolkata Police Hospital, on September 11, 2006, which is the part of the first Case Diary, this Court found that the attending doctor Asish Kumar Bhadra referred the injured to the S.S.K.M. Hospital for urgent X-ray for detecting if any fracture has been suffered by him or not.It further appeared from the said injury report that there was a specific note by the self-same doctor to the effect that at S.S.K.M. Hospital X-ray was done which showed fracture on left clavicle region and the patient was admitted at the Officers Ward of the Orthopedic Department of Kolkata Police Hospital.However, it appears from the contents of the said Case Diary the injured police officer on the very next day, i.e., on September 12, 2006 at 8.10 P.M. took admission at a private nursing home, Maple Nursing Home (P) Ltd. and was discharged from there on September 14, 2006 at 8 P.M. It further appears from the aforesaid injury report, the history of assault, according to the statement of the injured police officer, that while he was on duty for controlling a violent mob, at that time someone from a balcony of first floor building threw a brick, which hit on his shoulder.Thus, the statement of the injured police officer to the police and to the attending doctor at Kolkata Police Hospital, as to how he sustained injuries appears to be not same.Since in the said Case Diary there was no medical papers as regards to the treatment meted out to the injured Sub-Inspector Sanat Kumar Ghosh at S.S.K.M. Hospital, which was the purported foundation of injury report issued by 4 the Kolkata Police Hospital, this matter was again brought in the list although earlier the same was made C.A.V. and the learned advocate of the State was apprised of the same.When on his prayer the order of C.A.V. was recalled and the matter was listed for further hearing.The matter was again taken up for hearing on May 21, 2010, on that day the Investigating Officer was personally present in Court and produced a supplementary Case Diary but the same was not the part of the charge-sheeted materials.It may be noted on the day when the first Case Diary was produced the said Sub-Inspector was also personally present in Court.The supplementary Case Diary now produced before this Court, contained the medical papers issued by the S.S.K.M. Hospital as regards to the treatment given to the Sub-Inspector Sanat Kumar Ghosh on September 11, 2006 on being referred by Kolkata Police Hospital as well as the treatment sheets of the injured at Kolkata Police Hospital until 6 P.M. on September 12, 2006, when he was discharged on risk bond.It appears from the said medical papers that on September 11, 2006 at 1.30 A.M. the injured was attended at S.S.K.M. Hospital and he was advised for X-ray of left clavicle and left shoulder joint A.P. lateral.It further appears at about 1.50 A.M. after X-ray the injured was again examined by the same attending doctor at S.S.K.M. Hospital and the doctor noted in the injury report "patient has bruises over left clavicular region.No fracture detected" and the patient was released and advised to attend the out door patient department.In the subsequent Case Diary a few X-ray plates were found but without any endorsement of any hospital as regards to the identity of 5 injured or the place where such X-ray was done and without any seizure list as regards to the same.Both the doctors of S.S.K.M. Hospital and Kolkata Police Hospital were not examined by the Investigating Officer for the reasons best known to him.On the face of the aforesaid materials on record it is beyond comprehension, when according to the findings of the attending doctor of the S.S.K.M. Hospital, after X-ray, no fracture was detected except some bruises on the left clavicle region with an advice to attend Hospital out door as to how Dr. Asish Kumar Bhadra at Kolkata Police Hospital recorded that the X-ray done at S.S.K.M. Hospital showed fracture of left clavicle.Thus, it prima facie appears what have been recorded in the injury report of the patient Sanat Kumar Ghosh at Kolkata Police Hospital by his attending doctor Asish Kumar Bhadra that there was a fracture on left clavicle as per the X-ray done by the S.S.K.M. Hospital is incorrect and in all likely to fabricate false evidence.It may not be out of place to note the Investigating Officer of the case submitted charge-sheet under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code without seizure of injury report of the injured police officer at S.S.K.M. Hospital, although produced subsequently in a supplementary Case Diary and without examining both of the doctors at S.S.K.M. Hospital and at Kolkata Police Hospital.The withholding of the said medical papers which goes against the prosecution case that the injured police officer suffered fracture, although available and non- examination of the said doctors, as submitted by the Counsel of the party, raised serious doubts about the bona fide of the Investigating Officer of the case.Now, having regards to the totality of the evidentiary materials on record, more particularly the injury report of the injured police officer issued by the S.S.K.M. Hospital, there is no scope for submission of charge-sheet under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code against the petitioners nor the Learned Additional Sessions Judge was at all justified in rejecting the petitioners' prayer for discharge as regards to the offence punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code.The order impugned is set aside.This criminal revision stands allowed.Since, rest of the offences for which charge-sheet has been submitted against the petitioners are all triable by any Magistrate, the Learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track 9th Court, Alipore, 24-Parganas (South) is now directed to send down the records to the Court of the concerned Magistrate from where the case was committed to the Court of Sessions for trial.Now, before parting with this Judgement, I feel that in this case an order must be made for an enquiry as to why the concerned doctor of the Kolkata Police Hospital made such incorrect note as aforesaid in the injury report of the concerned police officer and at whose behest and interest for which the petitioner was charge-sheeted and was going to be tried for a serious offence punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code for which imprisonment for life has been prescribed, on the allegation of causing an injury in the nature of fracture of clavicle region.In this case the investigation was also done in a very perfunctory way, if not motivatedly.The injury report of S.S.K.M. Hospital as well as the bed 7 head ticket of the Kolkata Police Hospital were not seized by the police before filing of the charge-sheet and until this Court called for the same.At the same time the Investigating Officer seized and filed with the charge-sheet all the treatment documents of a private Nursing Home where the said police officer was purportedly treated after he left the Kolkata Police Hospital on a risk bond on the very next day of his admission.The Investigating Officer also has not examined both the doctors treated the injured police officer at Kolkata Police Hospital and at S.S.K.M. Hospital.In course of enquiry the opportunity of hearing must be given to the concerned persons in their defence.This order be communicated to the Additional Commissioner of Police, Kolkata through the Learned Registrar General, High Court, Kolkata.He is further directed to take the charge of the Case Diaries and to hand over the same to the concerned Additional Commissioner of Police directly in a sealed cover.Criminal Section is directed to deliver urgent Photostat certified copy of this Judgement to the parties, if applied for, as early as possible.( Ashim Kumar Roy, J. ) 8

The background relevant for present case may first be noted.W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 1 of 16The Supreme Court, in writ petition No.13029/1985 (M.C. Mehta v. Union of India) vide order dated 16.12.1997 had directed that no fresh permit would be granted in respect of auto rickshaw (TSR), except by way of replacement of an existing working TSR with a new one.This was done with a view to reduce pollution levels in Delhi.Consequently, the Motor Licensing Officer (MLO), Burari issued a detailed order prescribing the procedure to be adopted for replacement of old TSRs with new ones.A dealer could sell one TSR against one LOI as issued by the transport authority.Holder of such LOI had the option of purchasing a TSR from any authorized dealer.There were three authorized dealers at that relevant time in Delhi.Dealers had no say in the issuance of W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 2 of 16 LOI.Whenever a customer brought with him LOI, all that the dealer was supposed to do was to receive the amount of TSR and sell the same by delivering the respective TSR, while retaining a photocopy of LOI for the sake of his own records.For registration of such TSR with the transport authority, the purchaser was required to produce the dealers sale invoice, Form No.20, Form No.21, insurance of the vehicle and the permit.After scrutinizing and verifying all these documents, officials of the transport authority [the MLO (AR)] would register the vehicle.W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 2 of 16On certain information received by officials of National Information Centre (for short NIC), investigation was carried out which revealed that 1157 auto rickshaws had multiple registration as on 17.06.1999 i.e. it was a case where two or more than two new TSRs were given permit against one old TSR permit.A vigilance team of the transport authority headed by their Deputy Director (Vig.) visited the Burari Transport Authority and were able to locate 150 such files just by physical search.It was also found that the files were grossly incomplete and were not containing the necessary documents.FIR No.34/99 dated 15.09.1999 was registered at the instance of ACB, Government of NCT of Delhi.A total of only approx.350 files could be located.The rest of the files which were supposed to be available at the office of MLO (AR) Burari, were incomplete and irregularities in registrations of several TSRs were clearly made out.It W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 3 of 16 was found that files/documents were fabricated to justify the existence of additional old auto rickshaws, so as to cover up the said crime.W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 3 of 16The investigation revealed 10 specific cases of multiple registration during the year 1998 & 1999 (details whereof are found in the charge sheet) where, inter alia, Shri Shyam Sunder Dandona, owner of Pal Auto Deals, Paharganj provided new TSR to the prospective buyers as sub-dealer and most of the time he only arranged the old TSR or its papers from the market and got the new TSR registered either themselves or through, mostly, Shri Ashok Khyrana, a tout working in the Transport Authority.Shri Shyam Sunder Dandona got finance approved for the prospective buyers through his nephew.Sanjeev Kumar Dandona, the petitioner herein, Director of M/s Dandona Finance Limited.Shri Sanjeev Dandona, the petitioner was found to have financed almost every TSR of the 10 specific cases investigated through M/s. Dandona Finance Ltd. The petitioner was found to have provided blank, incomplete Form-20 having his signature over the stamp of his firm Dandona Finance Ltd. which led to creation of false files.It was found that the petitioner had an arrangement with M/s PRJ Enterprises for issuance of fake sale certificate (Form-21), which showed his connivance with others for getting maximum benefit through financing the TSRs.The petitioner was found to have signed more than one Form-21 as W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 4 of 16 financier in respect of the same auto rickshow, i.e. DL1RC 7959, which had been found in different files with same registration number.W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 4 of 16Investigation revealed that Sh.Raj Kumar Jain owner of M/s. PRJ Enterprises, Dealer of Bajaj TSR in Delhi has given standing directions to his employees to issue Sale Certificate for new TSRs to the persons / employees sent by Sh.Shyam Sunder Dandona of M/s. Pal Auto Deals and Sh.Sanjeev Dandona of Dandona Finance Ltd. as per the details provided.Almost every file was having Sale Certificate with wrong details leading to formation of fake records.Invoices against purchase were not available for relevant TSR.More than one Form-21 (sale letter) in respect of same vehicle which have been located in different files bearing the same registration number (as part of cover-up operations).As the new permits were banned so in this way he helped himself to get more profits by selling more TSRs in connivance with his sub dealers / financiers.It was also found out that almost every recovered file had wrong/incomplete LOI (Letter of Intent) details, no pencil print of engine or chassis number.Even the copies of cancellation certificates, supposed to be issued to the concerned authorities, were still present in the TSR file.Various sale certificates in form 21 were having wrong details, TSR deposit slips were absent and so were the original TSR W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 5 of 16 permits etc. in most of the TSR files.Most of the cases were, inter alia, done by M/s. Pal Auto Deals, M/s Dandona Finance Ltd.

This revision has been preferred against the judgment and order dated 19.05.1989 passed by the Ist L.C.C., Ghazipur in Criminal Case No. 536 of 1987, under sections 323, 325, 504, 506 IPC, PS Dildarnagar, district Ghazipur convicting and sentencing the revisionists for a period of two months' simple imprisonment, under sections 323/34 IPC and order dated 09.10.1990 passed by the Ist Additional Sessions Judge, Ghazipur in Criminal Appeal No. 69 of 1989 confirming the order and sentence passed by the trial court.Brief facts of the case are that on 09.06.1985 at about 12 O'clock one Ramji was sitting infront of the house of complainant Kamla Kamkar and the said land was sahan land of the complainant.The accused along with one Badri came over there and in furtherance of their common intention started beating Rajmi by lathi, who raised alarm, upon which the complainant Kamla, his father Ram Chandar and his mother came over there to intervene and protect Ramji, whereupon the accused persons also inflicted injuries on Kamla and, also his father Ram Chandar and others.All the accused persons, namely Radhika Kushwaha, Heera Kushwaha and Ram Bilas abused and threatened the complainant.The report was lodged.After investigation, the Investigating Officer submitted the charge sheet.Charges were framed against the accused persons, who pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.After perusal of evidence of the witnesses, the learned trial Judge convicted the accused as aforesaid and passed the aforesaid sentence.Feeling aggrieved the accused persons filed a Criminal Case No. 536 of 1987, which was dismissed.Feeling aggrieved the present revision has been preferred.While the collective cry has to be kept uppermost in the mind, simultaneously the principle of proportionality between the crime and punishment cannot be totally brushed aside.The principle of just punishment is the bedrock of sentencing in respect of a criminal offence.As I have said earlier the occurrence relates to year 1985 and this revision is pending since 1990, I find no illegality, irregularity or impropriety in the conviction and I feel that the conviction should be maintained but the sentence may be modified.

Kamla, Chandrika, Shyamabai and Shaligram have been acquitted of the offences punishable under Sections 498A and 304B of the Indian Penal Code ("IPC" for short) and Section 3 read with Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Marriage of Durgeshwari (since deceased) was solemnized with respondent no.1 Kamla within seven years of her death.Prosecution case, in brief, is that respondents were involved in subjecting Durgeshwari to cruelty and harassment due to non satisfaction of demand for dowry and, ultimately, on 26/10/10, under suspicious circumstances, dead body of Durgeshwari was found hanging in her matrimonial home only.Morgue (Ex.P/15) was recorded at the instance of respondent no.1 and after investigation, charge-sheet was filed.Trial Court further found that Sukhlal Jharia, father of the deceased, admitted in para 13 of his evidence that he had neither informed the police personnel nor the Naib Tahsildar regarding cruelty for non fulfillment of dowry.Trial Court also held that in the said circumstances, presumption under Section 113-B of the Evidence Act was not attracted to the facts of the case.In the aforesaid premises, the trial Court found that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.We agree with the findings recorded by the trial Court.It is well settled that the judgment of acquittal should not be disturbed unless the conclusions drawn on the basis of evidence brought on record are found to be grossly unreasonable or manifestly perverse or palpably unsustainable.

The prosecution case in a nutshell was that on 26.2.2009, informant Harbansh (P.W.1), the resident of village Suratpur Khushkari, District Kanshi Ram Nagar, moved a written report Ex.Ka.1 scribed by one Itwari Lal at the police station Amapur, District Kanshi Ram Nagar mentioning therein that informant's younger brother Hori Lal, his wife Nattho Devi and son Manoj Kumar were residing in a separate house.On 25.2.2009, there was a marriage ceremony of the daughter of Yograj in the village in which rangshala (musical and dance programme) was also organized.Informant had also gone there.When, at about 12:00 O'clock in the night, he was returning to his home, he heard the shrieks from the house of Hori Lal whereupon he entered in the house and saw that accused Buddhsen @ Raju son of Hori Lal, Amar Singh son of Mihi Lal residents of the same village, Kehari Singh son of Ramjeet, Rakesh son of Kehari resident of Hodalpur, P.S. Soron, Distt.Kashi Ram Nagar, Kanti resident of Virsua, P.S. Dholna, District Kashi Ram Nagar and Kamlesh resident of Madda Nagla, P.S. Kotwali Dehat, District Etah were assaulting his brother Hori Lal by throttling him on the cot.When the informant asked the accused persons, what are they doing, they hurled abuses and threatened the informant to keep mum otherwise they would not spare him, as they had not spared his brother's family.The informant and other persons reached near Hori Lal and saw that Hori Lal was done to death.Smt. Nattho Devi wife of Hori Lal was also done to death and her dead body was lying on the roof of the house.Manoj Kumar, son of deceased Hori Lal was missing also.The incident was witnessed by the informant and the village people in the light of petromax lantern.They thought that Manoj would have fled away due to fear to save himself, but next morning the village people told the informant that the accused-persons had taken away Manoj in the night itself towards the bambi.One Devkaran son of Bhojraj came there and told that the dead body of Manoj Kumar was lying in the orchard of Natthu Singh resident of Mihari.When the informant reached there, he saw the dead body of Manoj lying there.He was done to death by crushing his head.It was also mentioned in the report that accused Budhsen alias Raju had taken loan due to which the deceased Hori Lal had sold his two bighas agricultural land to repay the loan.Now accused Budhsen alias Raju wanted some more land so the panchayat was convened in this regard.Deceased Hori Lal when refused to give more land, accused Budhsen alias Raju threatened and uttered the following words "Ke Ped he nahi rahega toh pakshi kahan baitheygay".As a consequence, the accused Budhsen later on with the help of his relatives (father-in-law, mausa and friends) committed the murder of his father Hori Lal, mother Nattho Devi and brother Manoj Kumar.It was also mentioned in the written report that the dead bodies were lying on the spot and villagers were present there.Since there was no mode of transportation in the night and also he was so frightened and terrorized that he could not lodge the first information report at night.Investigation of the case was entrusted to P.W.4 S.I.

Sukant Sharma (P.W.8), who interrogated the witnesses and ensured the arrest of the rest of the accused-persons and filed the charge-sheet (Ex.Ka.-13) on the basis of evidence collected during investigation against all the accused persons named in the F.I.R. He sent the material collected on the spot by the first investigating officer to the Forensic Science Laboratory.The Laboratory Report (Ex.Ka.-31) was also submitted.Post mortem on the dead body of the deceased Nattho Devi was performed on 27.2.2009 at 1:00 A.M. by Dr. Sayeed Mohammad (P.W.5) of District Hospital, Etah.Dead body was brought by C.P.19 Ram Naresh Sharma and C.P.220 Mohd. Aslam belonging to Police Station Amapur, who had also identified the dead body.Deceased was 50 years of age and was of average built.According to doctor, the death was caused due to coma and asphyxia as a result of ante-mortem injuries sustained by the deceased.Time of death has been shown as about one day (24 hours).Post mortem on the body of the deceased Hori Lal was conducted on 27.2.2009 at 1:30 A.M. by Dr. Sayeed Mohammad (P.W.5) himself.Dead body was brought by the same police personnel C.P.19 Ram Naresh Sharma and C.P.220 Mohd. Aslam, who had also identified the body.According to doctor, cause of death was asphyxia as a result of ante mortem throttling.Postmortem on the body of the deceased Manoj Kumar was performed on 27.2.2009 at 2:00 A.M. by the same Dr. Sayeed Mohammad (P.W.5).Dead body of the deceased was brought by C.P.57 Naushad Khan and H.G. 3877 Santosk Kumar of P.S. Kasganj.Deceased was 25 years of age and was average built.Rigor mortis was present in both the extremities.P.W.4 S.I. Ram Singh Pal is the first investigating officer.The inquest reports of the deceased Smt. Nattho Devi and Hori Lal and other papers relating to inquest were prepared by this witness.He also interrogated the witnesses and inspected the place of occurrence and prepared the site plan.P.W.5 Dr. Sayeed Mohammad., who conducted the postmortems on the bodies of the deceased Hori Lal, Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar.The ante mortem injuries and other details have already been shown in the earlier portion of the judgment.P.W.6 C.P. Dileep Kumar prepared the chick F.I.R. and G.D. (Ex.Ka.21 and Ex.Ka.-22 respectively).He also prepared the ravangi G.D. of the investigating officer S.I. Ram Singh Pal and the G.D. (Ex.Ka.-23) relating to deposit of the material collected from the place of occurrence by the investigating officer S.I. Ram Singh Pal.This witness also prepared G.D. relating to the entry of the accused in the HAWALAT (bars) as Ex.P.W.7 S.I. Jai Prakash Pathak, who prepared the inquest report of the deceased Manoj Kumar.He received the information on R.T. Set at the Kotwali Police Station, Kasganj and proceeded to the place of occurrence where the dead body of the deceased Manoj Kumar was lying.Offence is said to have been committed in the intervening night of 25/26.2.2009 at about 12:00 hours.Thus, the F.I.R. was lodged after a gap of 9½ hours.P.W.1 Harbansh, the real brother of the deceased Hori Lal, has mentioned in the written report the reason for delay in lodging the F.I.R. First reason was that there was no means of transport in the night and secondly, due to fear and terror of the appellants, he could not go to lodge the F.I.R. During the course of examination, the same facts were stated by P.W.1 Harbansh.It was also submitted that Rajendra Singh was residing at Noida at the time of occurrence.It appears improbable that he reached 26.2.2009 morning at the place of occurrence.To analyze this fact, we have minutely perused the chick F.I.R., G.D., and other police papers prepared along with the inquest report.The said categories are as follows :Hon'ble Om Prakash-VII, J.(Delivered by Hon'ble Om Prakash-VII, J)All the four aforesaid connected criminal (capital) appeals have been filed by the accused appellants Amar Singh, Kamlesh, Kehari Singh, Rakesh, Kanti and Budhsen alias Raju against the judgement and order dated 20.12.2010 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kashi Ram Nagar in Sessions Trial No.138 of 2009 (State Vs.Budhsen alias Raju and others) pertaining to crime no. 46 of 2009 under Sections 147, 149, 302 IPC, Police Station Amapur, District Kashi Ram Nagar whereby all the accused appellants have been convicted and sentenced to death punishment under Section 302 IPC and further to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment under Section 147 IPC.Concerned Court through the learned Sessions Judge, Kashi Ram Nagar had also sent a Reference No.1 of 2011 under section 366 Cr.P.C. for confirmation of the death sentence, which is also connected with the aforesaid criminal (capital) appeals.Since all the aforesaid four connected criminal (capital) appeals arise out of the same judgment and order passed in sessions trial no.138 of 2009 and have been heard together, therefore, they are being decided along with the reference by a common judgment.When the informant loudly raised an alarm, the local people of the mohalla arrived on the spot and chased them, as a result accused persons fled away.On the basis of the written report (Ex.Ka.-1), Chick F.I.R. (Ex.Ka.-21) was registered on 26.2.2009 at 9:30 A.M. as a case crime no. 46 of 2009 under Sections 147, 149, 302 IPC at Police Station Amapur, District Kashi Ram Nagar.Rigor mortis was present in both the extremities.Eyes were closed.Mouth was semi-opened.Bleeding from right side ear was found.Postmortem report Ex.Ka-18 was prepared.On external examination, following ante mortem injuries were found by the doctor on the person of the deceased :(i) Contused swelling 4 cm.x 3 cm.on left side frontal part of head and forehead.Clotted blood was present underneath scalp.(ii) Complete ligature mark 25 cm.x 2 to 3 cm.on upper and middle part of neck.Left comua of hyoid bone fractured.Rigor mortis was passing off from upper extremities and present in lower extremities.Deceased was 55 years of age and was thin.Postmortem report Ex.Ka-19 was prepared.On external examination, following ante mortem injuries were found by the doctor :(i) Abrasion 3 cm.x 3 cm.on right side neck and 2.5 cm.x 2 cm.on left side neck.On middle part of neck, on cut section underneath tissue congested.Both comua of hyoid bone fractured.Duration of death was about one day (24 hours).Bleeding found present in the right ear.Dried and clotted blood was present on the face.Stomach was found full of semi solid food contents.Postmortem report Ex.Ka-20 was prepared.On external examination, following ante mortem injuries were found by the doctor :(i) Lacerated wound 2 cm.X 1 cm.X bone deep on left side back of head, underlying bone was fractured.(ii) Lacerated wound 3 cm.X 1 cm.X bone deep on right side head, 7 cm.above pinna of ear.(iii) Lacerated wound 2 cm.X 1 cm.X bone deep on right side head, 8 cm.behind injury no.(ii).Underlying bone fractured.Time since death was about one day (24 hours).Cause of death was coma as a result of ante mortem head injuries.Cognizance was taken by the concerned Magistrate having jurisdiction in the matter and the case, being exclusively triable by the Sessions Court, was committed for trial.Accused persons appeared before the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Kashi Ram Nagar where the case was transferred for trial.Charges under Sections 147 and 302 read with 149 IPC were framed against the accused-persons, to which they pleaded not guilty and claimed their trial.In order to establish its case, prosecution examined as many as 10 witnesses.P.W.1 Harbansh, who is the informant of the case and the brother of the deceased, claimed himself to be the eyewitness of the murder of deceased Hori Lal.P.W.2 Suraj Pal Singh, who also claimed himself to be the eyewitness of the murder of the deceased Hori Lal.The inquest report (Ex.Ka.26) was prepared by this witness on the direction of concerned C.O. Other police papers relating to the inquest report Ex.Ka.27, 28, 29 & 30 were also prepared by this witness.P.W.8 S.I. Sukant Sharma, the subsequent investigating officer, who completed the investigation after interrogating the witnesses, submitted the charge-sheet Ex.Ka.-30 against all the accused persons.He also proved the examination report of Forensic Science Laboratory as Ex.P.W.9 C.P. 57 Naushad Khan, who carried the dead body of the deceased Manoj Kumar for postmortem along with police papers and P.W.10 C.P.19 Ram Naresh Sharma, who carried the dead bodies of the deceased Nattho Devi and Hori Lal along with the police papers in sealed condition.After closure of the prosecution evidence, statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. of the accused appellants were recorded.Appellant Budhsen alias Raju had stated the prosecution story to be false.As per this appellant, first information report was lodged on the basis of false facts.He has specifically stated that P.W.1 Harbansh, P.W.2 Suraj Pal Singh and P.W.3 Rajveer have made false statements before the Court.P.W.4 Ram Singh Pal, the I.O. has made perfunctory investigation and has not proved the police papers in an acceptable manner.Other prosecution witnesses have also made false statements and the first information report was lodged belatedly.Statements of the prosecution witnesses are against the fact mentioned in the inquest report.Subsequently I.O. P.W.8 Sukant Sharma has submitted the charge-sheet on the basis of insufficient evidence and has made false statement before the Court.Report of the Forensic Science Laboratory is also based on false facts.Witnesses have deposed before the Court due to enmity.He specifically stated that the informant was trying to usurp the land belonging to deceased Hori Lal, therefore, on the basis of false facts, implicated the appellant in this case.Accused appellant Amar Singh has also stated more or less the same facts as has been stated by Budhsen.He stated that prosecution witnesses are relatives.Specific pleading was taken by this appellant that he is handicapped.Informant wanted to grab the land of this appellant, therefore, falsely implicated him in this case.Accused appellant Kehari Singh has also made more or less the same statement and claimed himself to be innocent.Accused appellant Rakesh, who claimed himself to be innocent, has stated more or less the same facts as has been stated by accused-appellant Budhsen.He has specifically stated that he was arrested from his house.Accused appellant Kanti also stated the same facts.He has specifically stated the he was present the whole night on the date and time of the incident in the mandap ceremony of his cousin brother's son in his village.Photography of the ceremony was also done.P.W.2 Suraj Pal was not present at the time of occurrence and he was present at his service place.Accused appellant Kamlesh, stating the same facts as has been stated by other accused appellants, has specifically stated that the informant wanted to usurp the land, therefore with the aid of witnesses, he (informant) had committed the present offence and falsely implicated him in this matter.Accused appellants in their defence have examined D.W.1 Aneg Singh, who claimed himself to be the cousin of accused appellant Kanti.He is the witness of the alibi of the accused appellant Kanti.D.W.2 Radhey Shyam is the senior clerk posted in the irrigation department at Etah.He produced the attendance register showing the presence of P.W. 2 at his service place.D.W.3 Gajendra Singh claimed himself to be the family member of D.W.1 Aneg Singh, who performed photography in the said mandap ceremony.D.W.4 Vijay Pal Singh is also the witness of the plea of alibi of the accused appellant Kanti.D.W.5 Kanti, the accused appellant has also examined himself before the Court to prove the plea of alibi.After hearing the parties, vide impugned judgment and order, the trial Court convicted and sentenced the accused appellant as above and sent the reference for confirmation of the death sentence.Feeling aggrieved with the impugned judgment and order, the accused appellants have also preferred the aforesaid criminal capital appeals.We have heard Sri Rahul Mishra, Sri Harish Chandra Tiwari (Amicus Curiae), Sri Hemendra Pratap Singh and Sri Jai Narain, learned counsel for the appellants in the leading case as well as in the connected cases and Sri Akhilesh Singh, learned Government Advocate and Sri Rajiv Gupta, learned A.G.A. for the State and have also gone through the entire record.Learned counsel for the appellants have submitted that the prosecution was not able to bring home the guilt of the appellants from the evidence, but the trial Court has illegally convicted and sentenced the appellants.Incident took place in the night.P.W.2 Harbansh is a chance witness and was residing at a distance of 500 meters from the place of occurrence, there was no occasion for him to remain present at the place of occurrence.He was aged about 75 years.It is an improbable story that he would have gone to see the musical and dance programme in the night.P.W.2 Suraj Pal is also a chance witness.He was not present on the spot.He served in the irrigation department at District Headquarters, Etah.Attendance register proved by the defence witnesses clearly indicates that he was present at his place of posting on the date and time of incident.Motive attributed to the accused appellants was also not established by the prosecution.P.W.3 Rajveer has not disclosed this fact immediately that he had seen the deceased Manoj Kumar along with the accused persons in the night itself.This fact was stated for the first time in the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. only to connect the death of the deceased Manoj Kumar with the present crime.Conduct of P.W.1 and P.W.2 does not inspire confidence of the Court.They are not reliable witnesses.There are major contradictions on the material point in their statements.None had witnessed the incident regarding the death of the deceased Nattho Devi.The most material witnesses Dev Karan, Suresh and Shiv Shanker were not examined by the prosecution, therefore, presumption against the prosecution would be drawn that if they were examined, they would have not supported the prosecution case.Medical evidence also does not support the prosecution version.In the first information report, nothing was mentioned about causing the death of the deceased Hori Lal by pressing the sticks / danda over his neck.The Doctor, who conducted the postmortem of the deceased Hori Lal, has clearly opined that injuries found on the neck of the deceased Hori Lal could not be caused by sticks / danda.The last seen evidence is also not reliable as it is not supported by any other independent evidence.There is delayed interrogation of the witnesses and no plausible explanation has been offered.The first information report was also lodged belatedly and it is ante timed document.Rajendra Singh, who could explain the time of the incident, was also not examined by the prosecution.It appears improbable that Rajendra Singh reached in the morning of 26.2.2009 itself from Noida to the place of occurrence.All the witnesses are relatives and interested witnesses.The shrieks made from the house of the deceased could not be heard from the place where the musical and dance programme was going on.Shrieks made from the house of the deceased Hori Lal could also be heard from the house of Suresh, there were many people in the house of Suresh, but they could not hear the hue and cry raised from the house of the deceased.It was also submitted that the conduct of Suresh appears unnatural that the door of the house of the deceased was open, but he entered in the house of the deceased through the roof of his house.It was further submitted that appellant Kanti was not present on the spot as is clear from the defence evidence.He was present in his village and participated in the mandap ceremony.Specific role of the appellants were not assigned by the prosecution witnesses, despite the fact that they claimed themselves to be the eyewitness.There are major contradictions in the statements of P.W.1, P.W.2 and P.W.3 on material point.Time mentioned in the inquest report of the deceased Manoj Kumar also indicates that the first information report was not in existence at the time mentioned in the chick F.I.R. Appellant Amar Singh is a handicapped person.He could not participate in the crime.Learned Government Advocate submitted that F.I.R. was lodged at the earliest possible time.Delay has been properly explained in the written report itself.Father, mother and one of the sons were murdered.No blood relative, except the informant P.W.1 Harbansh, the brother of the deceased, P.W.2 Suraj Pal Singh, who were residing at some distance from the place of occurrence, were present.Rajendra Singh, who was the younger son of the deceased Hori Lal was informed at night itself.He reached the village in the morning.One of the sons of the deceased Hori Lal was involved in the crime, therefore, delay in lodging the F.I.R. cannot be taken to be fatal to the prosecution case.Presence of P.W.1 and P.W.2 at the place of occurrence is natural and probable.They reached the place of occurrence while accused appellants were committing the murder of the deceased Hori Lal.Facts and circumstances of the case clearly establish that accused appellants have committed the murder of Smt. Nattho Devi before committing the murder of Hori Lal.There is no major contradiction on material point in the statements of these two witnesses.Dead body of the deceased Manoj Kumar was found lying in the garden about one and a half kilometers away from his house.Although, name of P.W.3 Rajveer as witness of the last seen evidence was not mentioned in the F.I.R., but at the earliest point of time he disclosed these facts to the investigating officer and other witnesses.Motive attributed to the appellants was fully established from the prosecution evidence.Accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju had extended threat in the panchayat to eliminate the deceased for not agreeing to sell the land to discharge the debt owed by the appellant Budhsen alias Raju.This fact is fully established from the prosecution evidence.There was no occasion to falsely implicate the accused appellants in the present matter.Suggestions given by the accused appellants to the prosecution witnesses are mere suggestions.There is no supporting evidence to establish the plea taken by the accused appellants.The doors of the house of the deceased were open, this is not an improbable fact.One of the appellant is the son of the deceased Hori Lal and Nattho Devi.It might be possible that deceased would have opened the door at the request of the accused appellants.It also appears probable because the offence took place in the night at about 12:00 hours and the assailants were the relatives of the deceased.Medical evidence fully supported the prosecution version.It was the rarest of the rare case as the three persons were done to death by their blood relatives.Before proceeding to deal with the submission raised by the parties and issues involved in this matter, we would refer to the findings and observations recorded by the trial Court in the impugned judgment.(I)Trial Court while passing the impugned judgment and order has observed that motive attributed to the accused appellants was established from the prosecution evidence.A panchayat had convened and accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju had extended threat to eliminate the deceased for not agreeing to sell the agricultural land to discharge the debt liability.(II)P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal Singh were present on the spot at the time of occurrence.They had seen the accused appellants committing the murder of the deceased Hori Lal.(III)Smt.Nattho Devi was done to death by the accused appellants prior to committing the murder of Hori Lal.(IV)Accused appellants had also taken away the deceased Manoj Kumar with them and committed his murder in the orchard where his dead body was found.(V)Medical evidence fully supported the prosecution case.Non-examination of Dev Karan, Suresh, Shiv Shanker and Rajendra is not fatal to the prosecution case.(VI)All the accused appellants had formed unlawful assembly to commit the present offence and they gathered at the place of occurrence and committed the present offence in furtherance of the common object of the unlawful assembly.(VIII)Participation of all the accused appellants in committing the present offence was fully established from the prosecution evidence beyond reasonable doubt.(IX) Evidence adduced by the accused appellants in their defence was not believable.(X) P.W.2 Suraj Pal Singh was well present at the time of the occurrence and also remained present on 26.2.2009, as is clear from the inquest report etc. (XI)Shrieks raised from the house of the deceased could easily be heard from the place where P.W.1 and other witnesses were present.(XII)Prosecution evidence is clear and consistent on the point of availability of petromax at the place of occurrence.Witnesses had recognized the accused appellants in the light of petromax lantern.(i) B.

Discussion :In the instant matter, offence is said to have been committed in the intervening night of 25/26.2.2009 at about 12:00 hours at two different places.Firstly, at the residence of the deceased Hori Lal where Hori Lal and his wife Nattho Devi were murdered and secondly, in the orchard of one Natthu Singh situated at a distance of about 1½ kms.from the house of the deceased Hori Lal where his son Manoj Kumar was murdered.Deceased Hori Lal had three sons.One is the accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju, second was Manoj Kumar (deceased) and third one is Rajendra Singh, who was residing at Noida at the time of the incident.P.W.1 Harbansh is the brother of the deceased Hori Lal, who was admittedly residing at about 500 meters away from the place of incident.P.W.2 Suraj Pal was also residing at a distance of about 500 meters from the place of occurrence.Both P.W.1 and P.W.2 are neighbours.Thus, both of them come under the category of chance witnesses.P.W.3 Rajveer is the son of P.W.1 Harbansh.It is also an admitted case of the prosecution that when P.W.1 Harbansh reached the spot, he saw the accused appellants committing the murder of Hori Lal (deceased).It means, he is the only eyewitness of the murder of Hori Lal.It is also clear from the evidence that none had seen the accused appellants committing the murder of Smt. Nattho Devi.Similarly, there is only last seen evidence against the murder of the deceased Manoj Kumar.Prosecution had not examined Dev Karan, who gave the information about the dead body of Manoj Kumar lying in the orchard.Suresh and Shiv Shanker, who were accompanying P.W.2, were also not examined by the prosecution.P.W.2 Suraj Pal is the employee of Irrigation Department and was posted at Etah district at that time.Defence has also not disputed the musical and dance programme organized in the night of the incident on the occasion of the marriage ceremony of the daughter of one Yog Raj.Prosecution witnesses have also admitted that the accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju was residing separately at Kasganj from his father deceased Hori Lal at the time of occurrence.Accused appellant Kanti is the maternal uncle (Mausa) of the accused-appellant Budhsen alias Raju and is the husband of the sister of the deceased Smt. Nattho Devi.Some of the accused appellants are also relatives of the deceased, as has been admitted by the prosecution witnesses themselves.It is also an admitted case of prosecution that there were only 07 bighas of land in the name of deceased Hori Lal.Thus, in the light of above factual situation, the Court proceeds first of all to analyze the motive attributed against the accused appellants to commit the present offence.The first information report was lodged by P.W.1 on 26.2.2009 at 9:30 A.M. It was mentioned in it that accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju had taken loan earlier and to repay the same, deceased Hori Lal, the father of the accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju, had sold two bighas of land.Again accused appellant Budhsen wanted to sell more land to discharge his debts to which Hori Lal refused, whereupon a panchayat was held in which the accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju had threatened and uttered the following words "Ke ped he nahi rahega toh pakshi kahan baitheygay" and this was the reason why the accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju with the aid of his mausa (maternal uncle) and other acquaintances had committed the murder of Hori Lal, Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar.P.W.1 Harbansh, who is the informant in this case, has supported this fact before the Court.Although, he has not specified the place of panchayat, where it was held, but has admitted taking part in the panchayat.He also stated before the Court that accused-appellant Budhsen alias Raju wanted to sell some more land, but deceased Hori Lal refused to oblige him, therefore, Bhemsen alias Raju had threatened in the panchayat uttering "Ke ped he nahi rahega toh pakshi kahan baitheygay".It was the submission of the learned counsel for the accused appellants that the real son Rajendra Singh was not examined by the prosecution, who could speak the truth about the panchayat and the motive attributed to the accused appellants.It was further argued that the prosecution witnesses themselves wanted to purchase the agricultural land belonging to the deceased Hori Lal.Therefore, they committed the murder of the deceased and falsely implicated the appellants in this case.If the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the accused appellants are analyzed with the evidence available on record, it is evident that accused appellants have not challenged this fact in the cross-examination.Although, in the statements under sections 313 Cr.P.C., they have denied this fact.Looking to this situation that taking of loan by the accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju and in lieu thereof selling of two bighas of land by the deceased Hori Lal to repay the loan has not been challenged and the defence has also not challenged the convening of the panchayat, then we are of the view that motive part attributed against the accused appellants was established from the prosecution evidence.Before proceeding to deal with other issues, we would discuss the existence of the first information report at the time mentioned in the chick.In the present matter, F.I.R. was lodged on 26.2.2009 at 9:30 A.M. Distance between the place of occurrence and the police station was about 10 kms.He stated before the Court that the written report was scribed by one Itwari Lal on his dictation and thereafter it was read to him before he signed it.In the cross-examination, he admitted that he reached the concerned police station at about 8:00 A.M. in the morning of 26.2.2009 and it took an hour to prepare the written report at the concerned police station.G.D. Entry prepared at the time of preparation of Chick (Ex.Ka.-21) indicates that P.W.2 Suraj Pal and Rajendra Singh also accompanied him.It is the submission of the learned counsel for the accused appellants that written report (Ex.Ka.-1) was prepared with the consultation of the police after preparing the inquest report.Rajendra Singh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal both were not present at that time.It is evident that the police officials, who prepared the inquest report of the deceased Manoj Kumar, have shown different time in the column of information received at police station of the inquest report, but it is also evident that inquest report of the deceased Manoj Kumar was prepared by the police of Kotwali, Kasganj.First information report was lodged at Police Station Amapur.Inquest report of the deceased Hori Lal and Nattho Devi were prepared by the police of P.S. Amapur.Information at the police station Kotwali, Kasganj was given through R.T. Set.Since the dead body of the deceased was lying within the jurisdiction of Kotwali, Kasganj, therefore, the police of Kotwali, Kasganj proceeded to prepare the inquest report on the direction of the higher authorities.It appears that due to this reason the time mentioned in the column was 11:00 A.M. Contention raised by the learned counsel for the accused appellants is not acceptable.Three persons of a family were done to death and one of the sons of the deceased was himself involved in the incident.Other surviving son was residing at Noida at the time of occurrence.Informant (P.W.1) is the brother of the deceased.Offence was committed at midnight.Therefore, the reasons assigned in the first information report and stated by P.W.1 Harbansh before the Court are plausible and believable.In the facts and circumstances of the case, if the informant proceeded to lodge the first information report in the morning of 26.2.2009, we are of the view that there was sufficient ground for the same and it was explained by the prosecution.The explanation / reason offered by the prosecution is proper and satisfactory.Non-examination of Rajendra Singh will not render the explanation offered by the prosecution unbelievable or unsatisfactory, specially when there is a clear evidence that Rajendra Singh reached the spot in the morning of 26.2.2009 and had also accompanied the informant to the police station concerned.If Rajendra Singh did not lodge the first information report himself, it is also not fatal to the prosecution as he was not an eyewitness of the incident.He was the witness of inquest.Inquest reports have been proved by the prosecution from other evidence in accordance with law.Presence of P.W.2 Suraj Pal is also proved at the concerned police station at the time of lodging of F.I.R. vide G.D. Entry.Thus, the plea taken by the learned counsel for the accused appellants regarding delay in lodging the F.I.R. is not acceptable.As far as consultation with the police in preparing the chick F.I.R. is concerned, P.W.1 Harbansh has clearly and consistently stated before the Court that he got prepared the written report from one Itwari Lal on his oral dictation.If the written report (Ex.Ka.-1) was prepared at the police station concerned, it will not be presumed that it was prepared after consultation with the police.The arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the accused appellants is not based on any cogent and reliable evidence.In the present matter, prosecution case rests upon the testimony of P.W.1 Harbansh, P.W.2 Suraj Pal and P.W.3 Rajveer.Other witnesses examined by the prosecution are either formal witnesses or they are the witnesses of inquest, recovery or of postmortem.The conduct of the witnesses to go and watch the musical & dance programme in the village at night of the occasion of the marriage ceremony of the daughter of one Yog Raj is not unnatural or improbable.Generally, people in villages watch such type of programmes irrespective of their age, caste or creed.Admittedly, P.W.1 was aged about 75 years, but he was able to walk and to do his work.Thus on this basis, the fact that he had gone to watch the programme cannot be disbelieved.As per this witness, when he while returning from the programme, heard the shrieks from the house of Hori Lal as he came close to it.The path chosen by this witness lies in-front of the house of the deceased Hori Lal and also goes towards the house of this witness.The conduct of this witness cannot be termed as unnatural.Although, he is the chance witness, but presence of this witness at the time of occurrence is probable and believable as he is the resident of the same village.So far as the presence of P.W.2 Suraj Pal, P.W.3 Rajveer and other witnesses are concerned, P.W.1 Harbansh has admitted that when he raised an alarm, P.W.2 Suraj Pal , P.W.3 Rajveer, Suresh and Shiv Shankar reached there and they also saw the incident.Prosecution has not examined Suresh and Shiv Shankar.To disbelieve the presence of P.W.2 Suraj Pal, the accused appellants had examined the clerk of the concerned Department.It is the submission of the learned counsel that on the date and time of incident, P.W.2 Suraj Pal was present in his office discharging his official duty.At this stage, the statement of the concerned witnesses and the attendance register proved by the said witnesses were also referred to.It is true that defence witness had stated that in the attendance register, the presence of P.W.2 Suraj Pal was marked on 24, 25 & 26.2.2009, but at the same time he also stated that a leave application from the evening of 24.2.2009 for 25 & 26.2.2009 had been moved by P.W.2 Suraj Pal, which was accepted by the Head of the Institution.Learned counsel for the accused appellants referring to this situation has argued that the leave application was moved later on only to ensure the presence of P.W.2 at the place of occurrence.Document proved by the defence witness clearly indicates that P.W.2 Suraj Pal was not present on the date, time and place of the occurrence.We have closely analyzed the prosecution and defence evidence in light of the submissions raised by the learned counsel for the parties.P.W.2 Suraj Pal was the witness in all the three inquests.Similarly, P.W.2 Suraj Pal had accompanied P.W.1 Harbansh to lodge the F.I.R. at the concerned police station.Presence of P.W.2 also finds support from the evidence of P.W.1 Harbansh.It is unbelievable fact that he was present at his office in the morning of 26.2.2009 and at the same time he participated in the inquest proceedings and had gone to lodge the F.I.R. accompanying P.W.1 in the morning of 26.2.2009 itself.Therefore, the presence of P.W.2 Suraj Pal in both the places at the same point of time cannot be accepted.Inquest report and other police papers clearly establish that P.W.2 Suraj Pal was present on the date and time of the occurrence in the village itself.He was the witness of panchayat also.He had also gone to watch the programme.It is possible that they were returning for their home at that relevant time.Since they were returning from the same path, which lies in front of the house of the deceased Hori Lal, therefore, alarm raised by P.W.1 Harbansh could easily be heard by them from the lane.Thus, the presence of P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal cannot be doubted on this score.There are some contradictions in the statements of P.W.1 and P.W.2 regarding the presence of P.W.1 Harbansh at the time when P.W.2 Suraj Pal reached in front of the house of the deceased Hori Lal and also on this point whether Rajveer had accompanied them at that time or not, but on this ground the fact that both these witnesses had reached on the spot at the time of occurrence cannot be doubted, specially when the defence has not denied the music & dance programme (rangshala) was organized at the marriage.To analyze the submission raised by the learned counsel for the appellants regarding non-mentioning of use of lathi in commission of the offence in the F.I.R. and opinion expressed by P.W.5 regarding use of lathi, we have again minutely perused the statements of P.W.1, P.W.2 and P.W5 Dr. Sayeed Mohd. As per the prosecution case, when P.W.1 Harbansh reached the place of occurrence, he saw that the accused appellants were pressing the neck of the deceased Hori Lal.This incident was witnessed by him in the light of petromax.Six persons were said to have been pressing the neck of the deceased.Certainly, the prosecution witnesses were present at some distance at that time.It might be possible that exactly what sort of method was adopted by the accused appellants in committing the murder of the deceased Hori Lal, could not be clearly seen or perceived.54. P.W.5 Dr. Sayeed Mohd. has not clearly denied that death of the deceased Hori Lal was not the result of throttling.This fact that danda was used in committing the murder of the deceased Hori Lal, was stated for the first time before the Court, but only on this basis the presence of P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal on the spot at the time of occurrence cannot be disbelieved or their testimony cannot be discarded.The opinion expressed by doctor is a mere opinion.The doctor has not clearly opined that the deceased was not done to death by throttling.Sometime witnesses make exaggerated statements but that cannot be the basis to discard the testimony of those witnesses otherwise credit-worthy.In view of the above, it is clear that the deceased Hori Lal was done to death by throttling.When P.W.1 and P.W.2 reached the spot, they saw the accused appellants pressing the neck of the deceased Hori Lal.On their raising an alarm, the accused appellants ran away from the back door of the house of the deceased Hori Lal.When they reached near Hori Lal, they found him dead.They also searched for Nattho Devi wife of Hori Lal and found her lying in a dead condition in the room of the first floor of the house of Hori Lal.Attention of the Court was also drawn by the learned counsel for the accused appellants that Suresh, who was the neighbour of the deceased Hori Lal, also accompanied P.W.2 Suraj Pal.He is also said to have reached there along with P.W.2 Suraj Pal.The door of the house of the deceased Hori Lal was opened, but he did not enter in the house of the deceased Hori Lal from that door, instead of that he preferred to enter the house by jumping from the roof of the house of the deceased Hori Lal.Contention raised in this context by the learned counsel for the accused appellants was also scrutinized by us.Suresh was not examined by the prosecution.What was in his mind, only he can explain.It might be possible that he would have thought that the accused persons could escape through the roof of his house.Learned counsel have also raised contention that by non-examination of Suresh by the prosecution, an adverse inference against the prosecution should be drawn as he might not have supported the prosecution case.Here it is noteworthy that non-examination of Suresh does not create any doubt regarding the presence of P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal on the date, time and place of occurrence.Generally, people do not want to come forward to give evidence.The present case is a peculiar one in which one of the sons of the deceased Hori Lal was involved and against whom allegation is that he along with the other accused appellants had eliminated his father, mother and younger brother.In criminal jurisprudence, witnesses are divided in three categories, namely, wholly reliable, wholly unreliable and lastly neither wholly reliable nor wholly unreliable.In the case of first two categories the Court do not feel any difficulty but in the case of third category of witness corroboration from some other evidence would be required.The statement of P.W.1 Harbansh regarding the presence of P.W.3 Rajveer Singh at the scene of occurrence is not supported by the evidence of P.W.3 itself.Similarly, statement of P.W.2 Suraj Pal on the above point is also not supported from the evidence of P.W.3 Rajveer.Some other points, like the use of danda in committing the present offence is also not supported from the medical evidence.Therefore, in our considered view, P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal cannot be placed in the category of wholly reliable witnesses.Since both these witnesses are the relatives of the deceased persons and they reside at a distance of 500 meters away from the place of occurrence and they claimed their presence on the spot due to the reason that they were returning home after watching the music and dance programme, therefore, we scrutinized their version / testimony along with the medical evidence.Since there is no direct evidence regarding the murder of Smt. Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar, therefore, expecting from the prosecution to adduce the evidence regarding the manner of the incident in committing the murder of Smt. Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar is not warranted in the present matter, but it is established that both the deceased were done to death at the time, as has been stated by the prosecution witnesses.As far as the opinion expressed by P.W.5 Dr. Sayeed Mohd. regarding the death of the deceased Hori Lal is concerned, the use of lathi in committing the murder of the deceased by pressing his neck has been denied, but medical evidence does not fully belie that the deceased Hori Lal was not done to death by throttling.On this aspect, we have discussed in the earlier portion of the judgment in detail, therefore, we do not find any necessity for detailed discussion at this stage on this point.In the instant case, analyzing the direct evidence regarding the murder of the deceased Hori Lal minutely, we are of the view that it cannot be held that medical evidence is in conflict with the oral evidence, rather medical evidence supported the ocular testimony.So far as the relations of P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal with the deceased persons are concerned, nothing has come out in the cross-examination to hold that these witnesses have made false statements to implicate the accused appellants in this case.P.W.2 is the real brother of the deceased Hori Lal, he will not falsely implicate an innocent person leaving the real culprit to go unpunished.Accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju is the real nephew of this witness.Thus, the point raised by the learned counsel in this respect is also not acceptable.Interestingly, in the instant case, P.W.3 Rajveer was not interrogated by the first investigating officer, but was interrogated by the subsequent investigating officer after a gap of 20 days.He claimed that he had told about the last seen evidence to the witnesses at the night of incident itself.Two self-contradictory facts cannot be taken as true simultaneously.Three types of presumptions (inferences) could be made in this case regarding the evidence of P.W.3 Rajveer.Firstly, either he was present along with P.W.2 Suraj Pal at the time of occurrence ; or secondly, he had gone to ease himself in the night at about 12:30 A.M. and had seen the accused appellants taking away the deceased Manoj Kumar with them; and or thirdly, neither he was present at the place of occurrence accompanying P.W.2 Suraj Pal nor he had seen the accused appellants taking away the deceased Manoj Kumar with them.If the entire statement made by this witness is scrutinized to ascertain the truthfulness, it emerges out that he is not a reliable witness.The observation also finds support with the fact that nothing was mentioned about P.W.3 Rajveer on the point of last seen evidence in the chick F.I.R. nor in any other police papers prepared at that time.Satisfactory or plausible explanation regarding delayed interrogation of this witness by the investigating officer was also not put forth by the prosecution to the conscience of the Court.Thus, the testimony of P.W.3 Rajveer is not safe to be relied upon.Prosecution was only able to establish that the deceased Manoj Kumar was done to death at the night of 25/26.2.2009 between 12:00 to 1:00 A.M. There is no direct or circumstantial evidence available on record to connect the accused appellants with the death of the deceased Manoj Kumar, except the motive part attributed against them.So far as the lapses committed by the investigating officer is concerned, the testimony of P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal regarding murder of Hori Lal, which is supported by the medical evidence, cannot be discarded.Lapses said to have been made on the part of the investigating officer do not go to the root of the case and does not carry much weight.So far as the suggestions put to the witnesses by the defence regarding false implication of the accused appellants are concerned, which are too trivial, and cannot form the basis of false implication of the accused appellants in this case.Apart to this, the suggestions put by the accused appellants were also not proved by any cogent or clinching evidence.Non-examination of any other independent witness to support the prosecution case do not demolish the prosecution version.Looking to the nature of the offence, manner in which the present offence was committed and the time and place of occurrence, if any independent witness has not come forward to support the prosecution case, no adverse inference would be drawn against the prosecution.Offence was committed at midnight in the house of the deceased Hori Lal.Prosecution evidence itself indicates that prior to arrival of P.W.1 Harbansh at the house of deceased Hori Lal, no one was present in the lane and in the house except the accused and the deceased persons.Whether family members of the witness Suresh, whose house was adjacent to the house of the deceased, were actually present in their house at the time of occurrence and whether they were sleeping at that time or were awake, was not the matter essentially to be proved by the prosecution.Keeping in view the time of the occurrence, there was every possibility that either they were sleeping at that time or they had gone to watch the programme.Specific plea has been taken on behalf of the accused appellant Kanti that he was not present at the place of occurrence at the time alleged in the F.I.R. He has not only examined himself, but also D.W.1 Aneg Singh, D.W.3 Gajendra and D.W.4 Vijay Pal Singh.From the close scrutiny of the statements of these defence witnesses, definitely it cannot be held that accused appellants Kanti was present on the date and time of the occurrence in village Virsua.On minutely analyzing the statements of these witnesses, it emerge that mandap ceremony had started at noon itself.Photography would also have been lasted maximum till 9:00 or 10:00 P.M. in the night.Photo camera was not a digital camera.Whether photographs, as stated by the defence witnesses, were actually clicked on the date and time stated by the defence witnesses or not, there is no cogent and creditable evidence produced by the defence.Therefore, trial Court has rightly disbelieved the plea of alibi taken by the accused appellant Kanti.So far as the relation of this accused appellant with the deceased persons is concerned, there is direct evidence of P.W.1 Harbansh that accused appellant Kanti took part in committing the present offence.He also participated in the panchayat held earlier to solve the dispute regarding agricultural land between the deceased Hori Lal and accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju.No cogent evidence or any other fact was elaborated by the accused appellant to establish that there was any motive for the witnesses to implicate accused appellant falsely.In the absence of any such type of evidence, the plea taken by the accused appellant regarding the alibi and false implication of the accused appellant Kanti is also not acceptable.Therefore, there is no need for fresh discussion.Since in the present matter, three persons were said to have been done to death and all the three deceased persons belong to the same family and they were father, mother and son, therefore, we have also gone through the evidence to re-appreciate the role specified to the accused appellants and the statement recorded under section 313 Cr.P.C. to ensure that whether all the incriminating facts come in the evidence against the accused appellants have been placed before them to explain or not.On close scrutiny of the statement of P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal, we come to the conclusion that prosecution did not specify the role of the accused appellants.The allegation is that when P.W.1 Harbansh and P.W.2 Suraj Pal reached the spot, they saw that all the accused persons were pressing the neck of the deceased Hori Lal.From a perusal of the statement recorded under section 313 Cr.P.C., it also reveals that all the incriminating facts and evidence in the matter were put / placed before the accused appellants to explain.Nothing was argued on behalf of the accused appellants in this regard.Trial Court, while passing the impugned judgment and order, was of the opinion that the deceased Hori Lal, Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar were done to death by the accused appellants in the manner stated by the witnesses on the date, time and place as mentioned in their statements.On the basis of discussion made here-in-above, we are of the view that there is no direct evidence to connect the accused appellants with the death of Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar, except the motive part.Convening of the panchayat and selling of two bighas of land by the deceased Hori Lal to repay the loan taken by accused appellant Budhsen alias Raju were not challenged by the defence / accused appellants.The time of death of the deceased Hori Lal, Nattho Devi and Manoj Kumar indicates that all the deceased persons were done to death in a preplanned manner.If for the sake of argument murder of the deceased Manoj Kumar be not connected with the accused appellants, then also there is a direct evidence against the accused appellants in committing the murder of the deceased Hori Lal.When the witnesses reached the house of the deceased Hori Lal and raised alarm, the accused appellants fled away from the back door of the house of the deceased Hori Lal.On search being made, witnesses found Nattho Devi lying dead in the room at the first floor of the house.No other person, except the accused and the witnesses were present at that time in the house.Therefore, it can be safely presumed that Nattho Devi was also murdered by the same accused appellants, who were responsible for the murder of the deceased Hori Lal.Thus, trial Court finding that accused appellants have committed the murder of Hori Lal and Nattho Devi is not against the law and evidence and no interference on this finding is required by this Court.As far as presence of petromax on the spot where the deceased Hori Lal was done to death is concerned, it is not unnatural or improbable.Using of the petromax as a source of light is a common practice.It appears that due to a typing mistake, section 302 read with section 149 IPC was not typed and on this score, the trial Court finding regarding guilt of the accused appellants cannot be interfered with.Accused appellants were six in numbers.It is established that they committed the murder of Hori Lal and Nattho Devi.Attending circumstances itself establish that they had formed an unlawful assembly.Common object of the unlawful assembly was to commit the present offence and in furtherance of this common object, being the member of unlawful assembly, all the accused appellants committed the present offence.

The deceased in this case was one Mr.P.W.1 and accused are brothers.The deceased, P.W.1 and the second accused were born to the first wife of their father and the first accused was born to the second wife and their father.After their father had gone for second marriage, the deceased and P.W.1 were residing separately.The second accused was in the house of their relative.The first accused was with his father, i.e. with the second wife of the deceased.For a long time, P.W.1 and the deceased were cultivating 2 < acres of land which was owned by the joint family.The accused 1 and 2 were cultivating 1 3/4 acres of land which also belonged to the joint family.5. P.W.15 took up the case for investigation.He also prepared a Rough Sketch showing the place of occurrence.Then, he recovered the blood stained earth and sample earth from the place of occurrence.She gave opinion that the death was due to the shock and haemorrhage due to the injuries.P.W.15 examined a few more witnesses and then handed over the case diary to his successor.On 06.10.2010 at 10.30 a.m., he arrested the second accused at Nenjamadai Village in the presence of P.W.11 and another witness.At that time, the second accused was wearing a lungi.P.W.16 recovered the same from the second accused.He made voluntary disclosure and stated that he had hidden the aruval in the bank of a tank.Accordingly, he took the police and the witness to the said place and produced the aruval.On returning to the police station, P.W.16 forwarded the second accused to the Court for judicial remand and handed over the Material Objects also to the Court.On 09.10.2010 at 3.30 p.m., he arrested the first accused in the presence of P.W.12 and another witness.On such arrest, the first accused disclosed the place where he had hidden the aruval.In pursuance of the same, he took the police and the witness to the said place and produced the aruval.P.W.16 recovered the same under the Mahazar.(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.) The appellants are the accused 1 and 2 in S.C.No.52 of 2011 on the file of the learned Sessions Judge, Bomb Blast Cases, Coimbatore.They stood charged for offences under Sections 449, 302, 307 and 506(ii) IPC.By judgment dated 30.09.2011, the trial Court convicted the accused under Sections 302, 324 r/w 34 and 449 IPC and acquitted the accused from the charge under Section 506(ii) IPC.The trial Court sentenced both the accused to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.10,000/- each, in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months for offence under Section 302 IPC and to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/- each, in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months for offence under Section 324 r/w 34 IPC and to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years for the offence under Section 449 IPC.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the accused/appellants are before this Court with this appeal.The accused were demanding for actual partition of the joint family properties.Since all of them were not married at that time, the deceased and P.W.1 told them that the joint family properties could be partitioned after marriage was celebrated for all.But, the accused were not satisfied with the said explanation.This is stated to be the motive for the occurrence.On 03.10.2010, at about 8.30 p.m., P.W.1 and the deceased were in their house watching Television.At that time, these two accused came in a motor cycle and parked it in front of the house and trespassed into the house of the deceased.On so entering into the house, the first accused attacked the deceased with aruval near his right ear and back of his head.The second accused cut the deceased on the middle of his head.P.W.1 intervened.The second accused cut P.W.1 with aruval on his right hand.Then, both the accused fled away from the scene of occurrence.P.W.1 immediately gave a phone call to 108 ambulance and then proceeded to the police station to make a complaint.P.W.14, who was the then Sub Inspector of Police of Udumalapet Police Station, reduced the oral complaint of P.W.1 into writing at 10.30 p.m. on 03.10.2010 at the police station.P.W.1 affixed his Left Thumb Impression on the same.On the said complaint, he registered a case in Cr.No.5175 of 2010 under Sections 302, 307 and 506(ii) IPC.He also recovered the motor cycle [M.O.1], which was parked in front of the house of the deceased.He conducted inquest on the body of the deceased and forwarded the same for post-mortem. P.W.6 - Dr.Jothi Mani conducted autopsy on the body of the deceased on 04.10.2010 at 12.10 p.m. She found the following injuries:External injuries:(1) Cut injury measuring 15 x 10 cm extending deep to the brain, over right occipital bone, behind right ear, exposing brain matter.(2) Cut injury measuring about 5 x 3 cm extending deep to the brain present just below the injury No.2 exposing the brain matter.(3) Small cut injury centre of parietal region 1 x 1cm.(4) Lacerated wound 3 x 2 cm right shoulder.(5) Lacerated wound 3 x 2 x 1 cm left thigh."P7 is the Post-mortem Certificate.On returning to the police station, he forwarded the first accused to the Court for judicial remand and handed over the Material Objects also to the Court.On request, the Material Objects were sent for chemical analysis.It revealed that there were blood stains on the Material Objects, including the aruval recovered from the accused.On completing the investigation, P.W.16 laid charge sheet against the accused.Based on the above materials, the trial Court framed the above charges as detailed in the first paragraph of this judgment.The accused denied the same.In order to prove the case of the prosecution, on the side of the prosecution, as many as 16 witnesses were examined and 24 documents were exhibited, besides 21 Material Objects.Out of the said witnesses, P.Ws.1 and 2 are the eye witnesses to the occurrence.P.Ws.3 and 4 have spoken about the Observation Mahazar, the Rough Sketch and the recovery of Material Objects from the place of occurrence.P.W.5 has spoken about the photographs taken by him at the place of occurrence.P.W.6 has spoken about the post-mortem conducted by him and the final opinion regarding the cause of death.P.W.7 has stated that, on 04.10.2010 at 3.15 a.m. P.W.1 was brought to the police station for treatment.According to this witness, the injuries were simple in nature.P.W.8- Dr.Kavitha has stated that, on 06.10.2010 at 7.30 p.m., she examined the second accused on being produced by the police after arrest.She noticed a healed cut injury measuring 3.5 x 0.3 x 0.3 cm on the left thumb.P.W.9 has spoken about the chemical examination done on the Material Objects.P.W.10 has turned hostile.He has not supported the prosecution case in any manner.P.W.11 has spoken about the arrest of the second accused and consequential recovery of aruval on the disclosure statement made by him.P.W.12 has stated about the arrest of the first accused and the disclosure statement made by him as well as the consequential recovery of aruval at his instance.P.W.14 has spoken about the registration of the case.P.Ws.15 and 16 have spoken about the investigation done respectively and the Final Report submitted.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C., they denied the same as false.However, they did not choose to examine any witness nor they did mark any documents in their favour.Their defence was a total denial.Having considered all the above, the trial Court convicted the accused as detailed in the first paragraph of this judgment.We have heard the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellants and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and we have also perused the records carefully.In this case, P.Ws.1 and 2 have claimed that they witnessed the entire occurrence.P.W.1 is an injured eye witness.Therefore, his presence in the place of occurrence cannot be doubted.P.W.1 has stated in his evidence that, he and the deceased alone were there in their house at the time of occurrence.Where there is no mention about the presence of P.W.2 by P.W.1, it has to be examined whether P.W.2 would have been present at the time of occurrence.P.W.2 has stated that he was also inside the house of the deceased watching Television along with the deceased.As we have already pointed out, P.W.1 has stated that he alone was present along with the deceased and they were watching Television.The trial Court has concluded that, P.W.2 would not have seen the occurrence at all.In the said conclusion arrived at by the trial Court, we do not find any infirmity warranting interference.It is settled law that, if the evidence of a solitary witness inspires the confidence of Court, then even without expecting any corroboration from any other independent source, the Court can act upon the same.The Hon'ble Supreme Court, in the case of VADIVELU THEVAR vs STATE OF MADRAS (1957 AIR 614, 1957 SCR 981), has held that, if a solitary eye witness is partly believable and partly unbelievable, then his evidence cannot be the foundation for conviction, unless it draws corroboration from any other independent source.First of all, according to him, immediately after the occurrence at 8.30 p.m., he went to the police station and made a complaint at 8.45 p.m. But ,P.W.1 has stated that, the complaint was obtained only at 10.30 p.m. Ex.P1 is the complaint which came into being at 10.30 p.m. If that be so, there is no explanation as to what had happened to the complaint which was made at the earliest point of time at 8.45 p.m. P.W.1 is an illiterate person.He has only affixed his Left Thumb Impression.After all, the police station and the house of the learned Magistrate are in the very same town within a short distance.At that time, he had told the Doctor that he was attacked by a single known person, whereas, according to the prosecution case, two accused participated in the crime.Though his attention was drawn to the said statement made in the Accident Register, he did not give any explanation as to why he told the Doctor that only one person participated in the occurrence.This also creates doubt.The motor cycle [M.O.1] was seized from the place of occurrence, but, there was no investigation as to whom the motor cycle belonged to.The owner of the motor cycle was also not examined.Had he been examined, some light would have been thrown as to whether these two accused came in the motor cycle to the place of occurrence or not.Though the presence of P.W.1 cannot be doubted, his veracity is doubtful.Going by the very strong motive on account of the property dispute between the two families, the possibility of roping in of the entire family of the accused cannot be ruled out.On one side, the deceased and P.W.1 were residing as one family, whereas these two accused were residing separately.The dispute was in respect of the ancestral property.Therefore, the possibility of P.W.1 to rope in both the accused to wreak vengeance cannot be ruled out at any rate.In our considered view, it is too difficult to act solely upon the uncorroborated testimony of P.W.1 alone.Therefore, we find it difficult to sustain the conviction.

complaint after another against the complainant, especially regarding the collection of massive donations, amassing of unaccounted money, misappropriation, corruption of its Board members, various irregularities, etc., that as against these false and fraudulent accusations, the complainant has already filed C.S.No.375 of 2001 in the High Court of Madras for declaration and injunction, and also C.C.No.9370 of 2011 for defamation, etc. on the file of the Learned II Metropolitan Magistrates' Court at Egmore, Chennai, both of which are still pending, that in spite of the pendency of these legal proceedings, the accused has once again defamed the complainant by his letter dt.22.11.2001 written to the Inspector of Anglo-Indian Schools with copies thereof marked to various other statutory authorities and others including the complainant, inter alia once again defamatorily falsely alleging and accusing that the complainant is unauthorisedly collecting funds, compelling students to

the Director of School Education, the Inspector of Anglo-Indian Schools, the Income Tax Department, the Registrar of Societies to and with the press, public platforms, nominated Anglo-Indian Member of Parliament, nominated Anglo-Indian MLA of Tamil Nadu, etc., though after due inquiry, personal inspection and verification of the records of the complainant, by the orders of the Court, that all these allegations and accusations have been proved to be false, fraudulent, futile and naught.2[B] Considering the fact that the accused was a reputed and honoured representative of the Anglo-Indian community, the complainant had not taken any steps or measures against the accused earlier, other than issuing notices through its Advocate, that bolden by the earlier inaction of the complainant over the said false, frivolous and futile complainants earlier filed, the accused though without any locus standi whatsoever with gross impunity, continuing to defame the complainant falsely accusing it of collecting massive donations, amassing unaccounted money, misappropriation and misapplication of funds and resources, various irregularities, etc. thereby per se defaming the complainant and causing damage and disrepute to its fair name and reputation, that first on 07.11.2000 and then again on 16.11.2000, the Headmaster of the complainant's Boys School had written letters to the mother and natural guardian of Mr.Sheik Wasim a student studying in STD VIA calling upon her to pay the balance of the donation payable towards the admission of the said child, that inadvertent use of the word donation became the cause of a complaint dt.23.1.2001 filed by the Member of Parliament with the Inspector of Anglo-Indian Schools, Chennai who by its letter dt.25.1.2001 called for an explanation from the complainant and to which an explanation dt.29.1.2001 was also given, and where after a personal inspection was also made by the said inspector, who found that no donations had been actually and factually collected by the complainant, that the use of the said word by the Headmaster was only out of inadvertence whereas the balance amount payable was only towards the building fees and not towards donation, that in as much as the fees for Anglo-Indian children is being reimbursed by the Government and in order not to be caught as cheating the Government, the complainant by its letter dt.30.1.2001 called upon Mrs.Louisa Fayaz to submit her marriage certificate and the copy of which was also submitted by her, that the finding from the said marriage certificate that the said Mrs.Louisa Fayaz had actually converted to Islam and had also changed her name to Suraiya Fayaz and had ceased to even be a Christian much less an Anglo-Indian, the complainant by its letter dt.09.02.2001 called upon her to give her explanation thereto as to why her son should not be removed from the rolls of the school for having made a false representation for the sake of getting admission, that the said Louisa Fayaz by her letters dt.05.02.2001 and 06.02.2001 pleaded of her having been misguided by the accused and the Member of Parliament and called upon the Christian charity and benevolence of the complainant for the continuation of the studies of her son in the school, that surprisingly a reply dt.12.2.2001 was received by the complainant from the accused, besides others once again not only interfering with the internal management and affairs of the complainant further defaming the complainant of collecting massive donations, amassing unaccounted money, misappropriation and misapplication of funds and resources, various and numerous irregularities, etc. inspite of the fact that the accused had no locus standi, that to this a reply dt.17.2.2001 was given by the complainant, and to which a rejoinder dt.07.03.2001 was again given by the accused, once again not only per se defaming the complainant of collecting massive donations but also calling and accusing the complainant's advocate as being one who ".... hold the school to ransom through his devious and vicious techniques just to milk the school and to continue to drink the blood of the

complainant, Section 503 of Criminal intimidation and Section 505 (2) statements creating or promoting enmity, hatred or ill-will between classes, etc. and hence, the complaint is filed.After the complainant's evidence was over, the accused was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. as regards incriminating materials available against him in complainant's evidence.He denied the complicity to the offences.He did not examine any witness not had he marked any documents.After analysing the evidence on record, the learned II Metropolitan.Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai found the accused not guilty under Sections 505 (2) IPC.As far as the charges against the accused under Sections 503 and 505 (2) IPC are concerned, it is held that there are no materials to show that the accused committed the offences of intimidation and the mischief done by the accused has no value at all and he was acquitted under Section 248 (1) Cr.P.C. As far as the charge against the accused under Section 500 IPC, the accused was found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- in default to undergo simple imprisonment for three months in each of the cases.The accused preferred C.A.Nos.283 and 284 of 2004 on the file of the II Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai.The learned Appellate Judge, after considering the materials, confirmed the conviction and dismissed the appeals.Hence, the accused has preferred the revision in Crl.A.Nos.840 & 841 of 2004 before this court.Since all the matters are interconnected, this common judgment is rendered.The points for consideration which has arisen in this case are -[2] Whether the acquittal of the accused under Section 503 IPC is proper in both complaints ?Point 1 :-5[A] The complainant School is one among the premier, renowned, reputed and respected schools and institutions of the City of Chennai.MLA (nominated) of Tamil Nadu who is also holding the position as the President of The Friends-In-Need Society, Chennai, President-in-Chief of The Anglo-Indian Association of Southern India, Chennai and alleged Member of the State Board of Anglo-Indian Education, Member of the Senate of the Madras University as well.The letter emanated from the accused on 12.02.2001 marked as Ex.P2 in which the accused has questioned the attitude of the School Authority to collect donation / fees from the students which is reportedly not authorised.It is the contention of the complainant that this letter contains defamatory remarks against the school.Hence, it could be easily understood that Ex.P4 postal cover should have contained the original letter of Ex.The appellant also filed affidavit in support of his applications.The xerox copy of Ex.This point is answered as indicated.

Ws. 3 and 13 it was occurred for 5/7 minutes.It is common knowledge that understanding and appreciation of the time span of an incident varies from person to person.Injured witnesses were not wearing watches and could not be expected to have noticed exactly the time span of their attack.passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 1st Court, Bankura in Session Case No. 7 of October, 1985 (Session Trial No. 3 of January, 1986) convicting the appellants for commission of offence punishable under Section 307/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentencing them to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay fine of Rs.500/- and in default to suffer further rigorous imprisonment for six months for the offence punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code, to suffer rigorous imprisonment for one year for the offence punishable under Sections 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code respectively, all the sentences to run concurrently.Prosecution case, as alleged, against the appellants is to the effect that on 01.02.1985 at about 8/9a.m.Snehalata Mahato, P.W. 4, her sister- in-law Gita Rani Mahato, P.W. 5, and mother-in-law Smt. Mithila Mahato, P.W. 6 were transplanting paddy seedlings on a portion of plot no. 100, Kastura Mouza which their family had acquired by purchase.The appellants being armed with bows, arrows, lathis and other weapons attacked them and inflicted serious injuries on each of the three women by shooting arrows and striking lathi blows on them.The incident was reported to the police station by Bibhuti Mahato, P.W. 1, husband of Snehalata Mahato, resulting in registration of first information report being Simlipal P.S. 1/6 dated 01.02.1985 under Section 147/307/149/323/324 of the Indian Penal Code against the appellants and one Mithila Mahato.Charge sheet was filed against the appellants and Mithila Mahato under the aforesaid sections.The case being a sessions triable one was committed to the Court of Sessions, Bankura and transferred to the Court of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 1st Court, Bankura for trial and disposal.Charge under Section 147 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 307/149 in respect of the assault upon P.W. 4 and P.W. 5 and under Section 324/149 of the Indian Penal Code and 323/149 of the Indian Penal Code respectively for the assault upon P.W. 6 was framed.The appellants pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.In the course of trial the prosecution examined as many as sixteen witnesses and exhibited a number of documents.The defence of the appellants was one of false implication and innocence.It was the specific defence of the appellants that plot no. 100 was under the bargadarship of the appellant, Satish Mahato and the victims had no right to transplant paddy on the said land.In support of such defence, D.W. 1 was examined who exhibited the record of rights in respect of the said plot.In conclusion of trial the learned Trial Judge by judgement and order dated 11.05.1987 convicted the appellants for commission of offence punishable under Section 307/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code, Section 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced them to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay fine of Rs.500/- and in default to suffer further rigorous imprisonment for six months, for the offence punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code, to suffer rigorous imprisonment for one year for the offence punishable under Section 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code respectively, all the sentences to run concurrently.By the self- same judgement the learned Trial Judge acquitted Mithila Mahato.She also submits that the victims had not narrated the names of the appellants before the doctors.She submits that the purported eye witnesses P.Ws 3 and13 could not have been seen to the incident in view of the fact that they were at a far-off distance from the place of occurrence.She further submits that there is confusion as to the time of registration of the first information report as P.W. 1, in his cross-examination, stated that the written complaint was handed over to the police when they had come to the village pursuant to this salish.He along with others had removed the victims to the Simlipal Public Hospital and thereafter Bankura Sammilani Medical College and Hospital.On the way to PHC, they alighted at the police station.Dhirendranath Rana, P.W. 9, scribed the first information report as per his instruction which was lodged at the police station.P.W. 2, Harasundar Satpati, was declared hostile.He however stated that he found that the victims viz. P.Ws. 4, 5 and 6 were injured by arrows and were lying at the place of occurrence.He could not name the assailants.P.W. 3, Sudhir Kumar Rana, is an eye- witness to the incident.He stated that he saw the incident.While he was returning home, his brother's daughter told him that a number of persons were going towards the field being armed with bows and arrows.Thereafter, the miscreants left the place of occurrence.He also found that bleeding injury on the body of the Mithila but did not find any arrow in her body.He stated that the place was visible from his house.P.W. 4, Snehalata Mahato, is the victim and one of the most vital witnesses of the case.She stated that she was transplanting the paddy in the field.At that time the appellants assembled at the place and started shooting arrows at them.The arrow shot by the appellant no. 1, Satish, struck her in the flesh.P.Ws. 5 and 6 were also struck by arrows.In cross-examination, she denied the suggestion that the arrows came from the side of Bamon para.She stated that there is a village pathway on the West of their house about 40/50 cubits away.She stated Mahantapara was one bigha away from the land where they were working.P.W. 5, Gita Rani Mahato, was also working at the field with Snehalata, P. W. 4 and Mithila, P. W. 6 on the fateful day.They were transplanting paddy.She deposed that the appellants came to the place of occurrence and started shooting arrows at them which penetrated their flesh.Thereafter the appellants ran away.She stated that they were removed to Simlapal Public Health Centre and thereafter to Bankura Medical College.In cross-examination, she stated that between the place of occurrence and the village there are 15/20 big plots of land.There is a 'doba' after those plots near the dwelling house.After the 'doba' there is a village pathway.The house of Sudhir Rana, (P.W.2) and Dhiren Rana (P. W. 9) are situated by the side of their house.She stated that there was a 'salish' in the village over the incident.She was not present at the 'salish' P. W. 6, Mithila Mahato, is another injured victim.She stated that she was hit by arrow as well as by 'lathi' blow.She fell down on the land.She stated that the appellant no.3, Habu, dealt the lathi blow on her.She could only identify Habu.In cross-examination, she stated that land where they were transplanting paddy, Prahlad, Satish and her sons were co- sharers.P. W. 7, Tarapada Mahato, is the husband of Gita Rani Mahato, P. W.He is a post-occurrence witness.He along with P. W. 1 removed the victims to Simlapal P.H.C. in a cart.P. W. 8, Kishori Mahato was tendered for cross-examination.P. W. 9, Dhirendranath Rana, is the scribe of the First Information Report.He has stated that he went to the place of occurrence and found that the victims had been struck by arrows while they were transplanting paddy.He stated that he saw the appellants running away from the place of occurrence with bows and arrows.In cross-examination, he stated that history of assault was noted in the report as clash over a plot of land between two groups of people but he did not note the name of the person who stated it.P. W. 11, Dr. Sanatan Mondal, was the doctor who treated the victims at Simlapal P. H. C. He referred the victims to Bankura Medical College.P. W. 12, Chittaranjan Satpati, was tendered for cross-examination.In cross-examination, he stated that the appellants had disputes with P. W. 1 and P. W. 6 over landed property.P. W. 13, Kamalakanta Mahato, claims to be an eyewitness.He stated that on 1.2.1985 at about 8 to 9 A.M., he was seated by the side of a 'doba' along the village pathway.About four bighas away, victims were transplanting paddy in plot no. 100 of Mouza Kastora.At that time, the appellants being armed with bows, arrows, lathi etc. went to the place of occurrence and started shooting arrows at the victims.As a result, victims, Snehalata and Gita, were struck by arrows.He rushed to the place of occurrence and found the victims were lying there.He was standing by the side of the 'doba'.He proved his signature Ext. 5/1 in the seizure list.P. W. 15, Dr. Satya Ranjan Dey, is the Medical Officer attached to Bankura Medical College.The victims were admitted under him in the Female Surgical Ward of the hospital.He stated as follows :I examined the patient Snehalata Mahato and found that she had the following injury:-1) An arrow inserted in the abdomenal cavity from the left lateral side in the posterior axillary line at tenth inter coastorl space - direction of the arrow having been found to be inward downward and towards the back of the patient.He stated that he operated on Snehalata and extracted the arrow.He filed charge sheet against the accused persons.In cross- examination, he admitted that he did not interrogate the victims or record their statements.D. W. 1, Panchanan Mahato, exhibited the record of rights in respect of Plot no. 100 which was marked as Ext.The evidence of the injured witnesses have been criticised by Ms. Sinha on the score that they were not examined in the course of investigation and deposed for the first time in Court.It appears from the evidence on record particularly the trend of cross-examination, that the defence has not disputed the prosecution case that the victims, namely P. Ws. 4, 5 and 6, had suffered injuries on their persons by arrows as well as assault by hand blunt substance in plot no. 100 of Mouza Kustora on the date and time of occurrence.The defence, however, has strongly disputed the fact that the appellants were not the authors of such injuries.In that regard, Ms. Sinha criticised the evidence of P. Ws. 4, 5 and 6 as unreliable as they had deposed for the first time in court and it has come on record that there was enmity between the families of the victims and that of the appellants over land dispute.She has also argued that P. Ws. 3 and 13, who were in the village at that time, could not have seen the incident from a distance.P. W. 3 was returning to his house which is situated beside the house of P. W. 1 when he heard hue and cry.He saw the appellants going towards the place of occurrence being armed with bows, arrows and lathi etc. Thereafter he saw the appellants shot arrows at the victims and also assault them.It has been argued he could not have seen the incident because there 15/16 plots of agricultural land between the village Mahatopara and the place of occurrence.In cross-examination, P. W. 1 has stated that the place of occurrence was about one bigha away from his house.The house of P. W. 3 is situated besides that of the victims.PW 3 is a most natural witness to the occurrence who saw the incident after noticing that the appellants were proceeding to the paddy field being armed with bows, arrows, lathi, etc. There is nothing on record to establish that he could not have seen the incident from the place where he was standing.He stated that the P.O. was visible from his house.Similarly, P. W. 13 was sitting in the village pathway running opposite the 'Doba' which is situated between the place of occurrence and their village.He has stated that the place of occurrence was about 4/5 bighas from the 'doba' and he witnessed the incident from there.His evidence is unshaken in cross-examination.As the evidence of the injured witnesses have been corroborated by other eyewitnesses namely P. Ws. 3 and 13, I am of the opinion non-examination of the injured witnesses during investigation not to be treated as a fatal flaw in the prosecution case.Ms. Sinha also criticised the evidence of P. Ws. 4, 5 and 6 on the ground that they are clearly inconsistent with one another.She further submitted that P. W. 6 stated that arrows was coming from the side of village Bamonpara and therefore, it is likely that the victims were attacked by the inhabitants of Bamoonpara village.It is their unequivocal evidence that they were transplanting paddy in plot no. 100, Mouza Kustora when the appellants had come in a body armed with bows, arrows and lathi etc. and started shooting arrows at them.P. Ws. 4 and 5 stated that all the appellants were shooting arrows and arrow shot by appellant no. 1, Satish Mahato, hit P. W. 4, Snehalata.P. W. 5, Gitarani, was unable to say arrow shot by whom hit her.She, however, corroborated Snehalata with regard to the fact that all the appellants who were armed and were shooting arrows at them.P. W. 6 is the mother-in-law of P. Ws. 4 and 5 and was aged about 78 years at the time of incident.She narrated only the incident of assault by appellant no.3, Habu, with a lathi on her.In view of the fact that P. W. 6 was an old septuagenarian lady who was suddenly assaulted with a lathi, it is possible that she was unable to narrate the incident in toto.In fact, such lack of clarity in her evidence has a ring of truth about it.It shows that the injured witnesses were not tutorted and narrated the incident to the best of their respective faculties.One must appreciate that the comprehensive capacity of every witness varies particularly having regard to his/her age and the circumstances in which the incident occurred.P. W. 6 being an old lady aged about 77 years who was able to narrate only the incident of assault upon her.She was unable to corroborate P. Ws. 4 and 5 with regard to the assault upon them by the appellants.The variation in her evidence is most natural bearing in mind her ages and diminished comprehensive and recapitulative faculty of P. W. 6 owing to such advanced age.There is also some contradiction regarding the period for which the incident occurred.It is possible that being taken aback by the sudden and brutal attack upon them while they were transplanting paddy, the injured persons who are rural womenfolk felt that the attack persisted for an interminably long period although it may have concluded within a much briefer time span as narrated by the eyewitnesses.Such subjective opinion of the witnesses of the time span of the incident ought not to be taken as a parameter for rejecting the evidence of the injured witnesses, P. Ws. 4, 5 and 6, particularly when the kernel of the incident of assault by arrows and lathi blows upon them by the appellants stands established beyond doubt.Defence suggested that the arrows were shot by inhabitants of Bamonpara was stoutly denied by the appellants.On the other hand, PW 3 stated that the men from Bamonpara assisted them in lifting the injured victims in a cart for transfer to hospital.This squarely millitates against the defence version that the men from Bamonpara had attacked the victims.It is consistent versions of the aforesaid witnesses who had treated the victims that victims had suffered injuries due to shooting of arrows and in respect of Mithila , P. W. 6, due to assault by a hard substance like lathi.Arrows were also extracted from the persons by P. Ws. 4 and 5 and seized in the course of investigation.Accordingly, ocular version of the injured witnesses received corroboration from the medical evidence in the instant case.Coming to the issue of registration of First Information Report, it has been argued that the First Information Report was subsequently lodged when police had come to the place of occurrence after the 'salish'.P. W. 1 had stated that the First Information Report was written by P. W. 9 and was handed over to the Officer-in-Charge at the police station on the way of Simplipal PWC.P. Ws. 7 and 9 have corroborated such version.In course of cross-examination, P. W. 1 however stated that police had come to the village after 'salish' and PW 1 also stated that written complaint was handed over to the police at that time.It was around 9 AM when such complaint was handed over.P. W. 16 stated the complaint was received from P. W. 1 at the police station in the morning around 10-00 A. M. Hence, it is clear the written complaint was handed over to the police around 10 AM at the police station.Version of PW 1 that police received written complaint at village at 9 AM is not probable and must be read in the light of his entire deposition as corroborated by other witnesses.In the light of consistent evidence on record it is evident that the information of the incident was given to the police authorities at 10-00 A. M. while P. Ws. 1, 7 and 9 were carrying the victims in bullock cart towards Simlapal Public Health Centre.Accordingly, I am of the opinion that the First Information Report was lodged at the earliest point of time naming the appellants as assailants in the instant case.It was strenuously argued that the victims did not name their assailants before the doctors at Simlapal P. H. C. or Bankura Medical College.I find from the bed-head ticket of P. W. 4, Snehalata, maintained in ordinary course of business at Bankura Medical College and produced in the course of trial, that the appellant no. 1 Satish, has been named as the person who shot the arrow which struck her.That apart, in the instant case First Information Report was lodged at 10-00 A. M. prior to the victims have admitted at Simlapal P. H. C. In the First Information Report role of the appellants had been clearly delineated.In the light of such fact, the circumstance that the victims did not subsequently name the appellant at the medical centres does not militate against the truthfulness of the prosecution case.Coming to the conviction of the appellants under section 307/34 of the Indian Penal Code on the score of assault upon the victim Snehalata, I am of the opinion that the appellants did not attempt to kill her.It has come on evidence that the family members of the appellants as well as the victims are the co-sharers of the plot of land where incident occurred.It was claimed by the appellants that they were 'bargadars' of the land under Prahlad Mahato and record of rights was produced in support of such claim.In this backdrop, it appears that the appellants came to the place of occurrence being variously armed with the intention of assaulting the victims and thereby drive them away from the said plot of land.The appellants did not intend to kill the victims.Nonetheless the injury suffered by P. W. 4, Snehalata, is grievous in nature.It appears that the injury upon the victim, Gitarani Mahato, as has come out on evidence is simple in nature.Accordingly, conviction of the appellants on the score of assault on the victim, Gitarani, P. W. 5, is scaled down to offence punishable under sections 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code.Injuring on P. W. 6, Mithila, is also simple in nature and it was caused by lathi alone.On the issue of sentence, I find that the appellant no.1, Satish, has been specifically named by Snehalata as the assailant whose arrow stuck her.The appellant no. 3, Habu, has been identified by PW 6 as to have assaulted her with a lathi blow causing simple injury.With regard to other appellants, there is no clarity in evidence as to whose arrow had hit the victims.However, all the appellants had come in a body and were shooting arrows at the victims.The incident occurred more than two decades ago and the appellants do not have any criminal antecedent.They are also co- sharers of the land and agnates of the victims.Accordingly, I reduce the sentences imposed upon them and direct that appellant no.1 shall suffer rigorous imprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs. 500/- in default to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three months more for the offence punishable under section 326 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and to suffer rigorous imprisonment for one month on each count for the offences punishable under sections 324/34 and sections 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code respectively, all sentence to run concurrently.With regard to the appellant nos. 2, 3 and 4 I reduce their sentences to rigorous imprisonment for one month to pay fine of Rs.500/- each in default to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 15 days more with regard to offence punishable under section 326/34 of the Indian Penal Code and to suffer rigorous imprisonment for one month on each count for the offences punishable under section 324/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 323/34 of the Indian Penal Code respectively, all the sentences to run concurrently.Conviction and sentence imposed upon the appellants are, accordingly, modified.The appeal is allowed to the aforesaid extent.The bail bonds of the appellants are cancelled and they are directed to appear before the learned Trial Court to serve out the sentence and/or pay the fine as directed, failing which the learned Trial Court shall take appropriate steps for execution of sentence and/or realisation of fine, as aforesaid.I record my appreciation for able assistance rendered by Ms. Sinha, Amicus Curiae, for disposal of the appeal.(Joymalya Bagchi, J.)

Pawankumar on the next day of the incident.Both were in the police custody.Police arrested accused Nos. 2 and 3 and they were also in custody with him.Niyaz was with all three appellants in jail for about 2 months and thereafter he was exonerated from the crime.So, the identification parade has no value, but this witness has stated that all the three ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:21:20 ::: ( 10 ) accused before the Court are same.He did identify accused No.3-Vijay as the person who had given him threat with pistol and who was driving the jeep.Absolutely, there is no reason to disbelieve evidence of P.W.18-Sk.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:21:20 :::He had opportunity to see all the three accused persons, that too for a considerable period in the jeep.Not only that, he was with them even after arrest.So, absolutely, there is nothing in the deposition of this witness, which raises any doubt regarding his evidence.So far as accused No.1 is concerned, there is also evidence of P.W.4-Ambersing and P.W.19-Arjunsingh at Exhs. 34 and 100 respectively.Both of them stated that they had taken accused No.1 out of well.Accused No. 1 was having bullets, mobile phone and cash amount with him.Accused No. 1 was injured.Evidence of P.W.5-Dr.Sarla Patni clearly shows that accused No.1 was also brought to her.He had sustained injury on head due to fall in the well and the patient had disclosed her that police were chasing him and while he was running, he fell into the well.While giving treatment police came to ::: Downloaded on -

The prosecution's case in short is that on 20.1.2003 at about 9.00 a.m one Mihilal Thakur (PW10) had lodged an FIR at Police Station Damoh Dehat that two days prior to the date of FIR a quarrel took place between the sister of Delan and Batu son of the complainant Mihilal and therefore, on 20.1.2003 at about 7.30 when Batu went to a grocery shop at Village Marutal 2 Tek (Police Station Damoh Dehat, District Damoh) the appellant and his companions surrounded him and assaulted him with axe and stick.After lodging of the FIR, Dr. Y. P. Patel (PW1) examined the victim Mihilal and gave his report Ex.An incised wound was found on his left leg.Dr. Patel had also examined the victim Batu and gave his report Ex.He found that he sustained a lacerated wound of left jaw and 2-3 other wounds were found at nose, forehead and upper lip.He was referred to a dental surgeon and it was found that two teeth of Batu were broken.(Delivered on the 30th day of November, 2015)The appellant has preferred the present appeal against the judgment dated 30.1.2015 passed by the First Additional Sessions Judge, Damoh in ST.No.200/2003 whereby, the appellant has been convicted of offence under Section 326 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. and 324 of I.P.C and sentenced to three years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.500/- and one year rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.500/-.After due investigation the charge sheet was filed before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Damoh who committed the case to the Court of Sessions and ultimately it was transferred to First Additional Judge, Damoh.The appellant abjured his guilt.He did not take any specific plea, but has stated that he was falsely implicated in the matter.The Additional Sessions Judge after considering the prosecution's evidence acquitted the appellant from the charges of offence of Sections 506 (Part II), 294 and 341 of I.P.C. However, he was convicted and sentenced as mentioned above.However, Jirabai (PW7), Mihilal (PW10) and Batu Singh (PW14) have stated against the appellant.They have stated that when quarrel started the appellant Delan assaulted with an axe on 3 nose of Batu Singh and thereafter, Ramal Singh assaulted by a sword due to that his jaw was broken and lip was also cut.It was also stated that the appellant Delan also assaulted Mihilal with an axe on left leg.Looking to the overt act where he was not author of the grave injury caused to the victim Batu Singh, he is convicted with the help of section 34 of I.P.C. He was the first offender and the quarrel was started in a spur of moment.Under these circumstances, it would be appropriate to reduce the jail sentence for the period for which he remained in the custody.Since he is a poor person and unable to deposit 4 any fine amount and then if fine continues, he will undergo for default sentence unnecessarily.After considering the aforesaid discussion the appeal filed by the appellant is hereby partly allowed.Copy of the judgment be sent to the Court below along with its record for information and compliance.(N.K.GUPTA) JUDGE 30.11.2015 bina

No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 5 of 19 the public at large as the case relates to the leakage of question paper of Combined Graduate Level Examination 2013, illegal solving of the paper and then supplying the answers through answer keys, to the candidates appearing in the exam.It is further contended that none of the accused have direct relation to exam governing agency i.e. SSC, still the question paper and respective keys came in hands of the accused persons and there is every possibility of such leak with different examination centres where the question papers were supplied by SSC.It is further submitted that the question paper was leaked only after the question paper reached the examination centres and before the actual time of the start of the examination i.e. about 1.5 hours before the examination.Therefore, there is every possibility of involvement of school authorities and their officials, i.e. Principals, teachers, etc. in the said offence.It is further contended that the conspiracy is hatched by a group of several persons divided into several groups acting as an organized gang for the said purpose.Some of them procured the question paper, some arranged the prospective competitors, and some arranged their meeting and some solved the question paper.The racket was well organised in the way that they had even obtained mobile phones on fake and fictious identities.The chain of circumstances in between are turning and are woven in such a manner that tampering at any stage will make the efforts to unearth the conspiracy, almost impossible.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 5 of 19Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State further contended that till the time of granting the bail by the learned Crl.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 6 of 19 Additional Sessions Judge, the respondents/accused persons were absconding and non-bailable warrants were also issued qua their arrest but it was not taken into consideration by the concerned Court.Apprehension of respondents in manipulating and tampering with the crucial and sensitive evidence has been raised, and it has been submitted that the respondents were members of a well organized racket involved in leakage of question paper, therefore, they are not entitled to have the benefit of anticipatory bail.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 6 of 19Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State further drew attention of this Court to the impugned order in which the respondents were granted anticipatory bail on the ground of parity.In this regard, it is contended that the co-accused persons in the case were not granted anticipatory bail and rather they were given regular bail after remaining in custody for more than 60 days and that too, after filing of the initial charge sheet wherein the factum of the respondents absconding was clearly mentioned which resulted in issuance of NBWs against the respondents by the Court.Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State further contended that one of the co-accused namely Vikram Dahiya having been denied anticipatory bail by the District Court had approached this Court for bail, but the same was also denied vide order dated 23.07.2013 passed in Bail Appl.No.1260/2013, wherein this Court had directed the accused to surrender before the concerned Court.Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State further Crl.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 7 of 19 contended that the custodial interrogation of the respondents is necessary for providing the following vital and important information:-M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 7 of 19The call detail records (CDR logs) have to be confronted with the accused for further identification of the person involved in the conspiracy.The IP logs also are required to be confronted with the accused.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 8 of 19Hide outs of the co-accused at Jind, Gannaur, Sonepat and other places are to be visited with the accused in custody.The sustained interrogation of the accused/ respondent is required to be conducted which is necessary to unearth and expose the entire conspiracy behind the racket of leaking the concerned question paper.It has specifically been mentioned in the order of learned Additional Session Judge that the respondent shall join the investigation as and when required by the Investigating Officer and shall report to the Investigating Officer on every Saturday of English Calendar month.It is contended on behalf of respondent - Sushil Kumar that in view of the directions of learned Additional Session Judge, the respondent remained present at the office of the Investigating Officer on 10th August 2013 from 9AM to 7 PM, but no one in the office entertained the respondent.In this regard, the respondent had sent a written communication regarding his physical Crl.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 9 of 19 presence to the Investigating Officer through courier on the same day.It is further contended that the respondent remained physically present at the office of Investigating Officer on 17.8.2013 from 11 AM to 6 PM but he was not entertained and the written communication about his physical presence was conveyed to the Investigating Officer through courier on the same day.Similar was the position on 24th August 2013, when the respondent remained present in the office of Investigating Officer from 10 am to 5.30 pm.Respondent again visited the office of Investigating Officer on 3rd September 2013, 7th September 2013 and 14th September 2013, but he was not entertained.Counsel for the respondent further relied upon the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Dolat Ram & Others v. State of Haryana, 1995 (1) CC Cases 66 (SC) in support of his submissions and submitted that the bail once granted should not be cancelled in a mechanical manner without considering whether any supervening circumstances have rendered it no longer conducive to a fair trial to allow the accused to retain his freedom by enjoying the concession of the bail during trial.Counsel for the respondent further contended that there is no averment in the petition filed by the State that the respondent has not joined investigation and did not cooperate with the Investigating Officer; or has mentioned that the respondent had tampered with evidence or pressurised or intimidated any witnesses or that the bail order had been obtained fraudulently, therefore, the petition filed by the State deserves to be outrightly dismissal.Counsel for the respondent further contended that the anticipatory bail granted to the respondent cannot be cancelled as the State failed to make out a Crl.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 10 of 19 case for interference in the order passed by the learned Additional Session Judge under Section 438 of Cr.M.C.

No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 11 of 19While arguing the case of the respondents - Ashish Kumar and Pawan Kumar, Mr. V. Madhokar, counsel for the respondents contended that in compliance of the directions given by learned Additional Session Judge, the respondents alongwith his surety and advocate visited the office of ACP, Crime Branch, Sector 16, Rohini on 10.08.2013, 17.08.2013 and 24.08.2013 and showed the order of learned Additional Session Judge to mark his presence and allow them to join the investigation, but they were not allowed to join the investigation and they were not even allowed to mark their presence.In support of his contention, counsel for the respondents relied upon the video clipping to show that the respondents had visited the office of the ACP, Crime Branch.Thereafter, the respondents reported the matter of Commissioner of Police and had also apprised the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Delhi as well as to Sessions Court.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 12 of 19Counsel for the respondents further contended that it is not the seriousness/gravity of the offence only which is to be looked into by the learned Session Judge while entertaining the bail application but the specific role and the involvement of the accused is also to be considered and which the learned Additional Session Judge has rightly looked into and there is no infirmity in the order granting bail to the respondents.Counsel for the respondents further contended that mere issuance of NBWs or filing of charge sheet is no ground to refuse anticipatory bail to the accused.In support of his contention, judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court in Naturasu and other vs. The State, 1988 CriLJ 1762 and Bharat Choudhary and Anr vs. State of Bihar and Anr, AIR 2003 SC 4662 were relied upon by counsel for the respondents.Counsel for the respondents - Ashish Kumar and Pawan Kumar further contended that the prosecution has given clean chits to the other two accused namely Ashok Arya and Sarvesh Saroha against whom there are almost similar allegations and the prosecution is bent upon to send the respondents in jail.The prosecution has already raided the shop and seized the modem and the computer of the Institute, therefore there is no need of any custodial interrogation to make any recoveries from the respondents.The respondents were granted bail Crl.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 13 of 19 on parity with the accused who were already granted bail in the case.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 13 of 19On behalf of respondent- Vikram Dahiya, Mr. K.K. Manan, Senior Advocate, apart from the legal principles settled by Hon'ble Supreme Court in catena of judgments, contended that the order granting anticipatory bail to the respondent does not call for interference as in compliance thereof, the respondent alongwith his surety and advocate visited the ACP Office, Crime Branch, Sunlight Colony Police Station on 23.11.2013 and the respondent was subjected to sustained and prolonged interrogation by a team consisting of ACP Raja Ram Yadav, Inspector Pawan Kumar, Inspector Surajbhan, one cyber expert and two other officials.The interrogation was conducted in writing and the replies were also given in writing and to a question whether respondent is ready for narco test, it was replied that since he is undergoing treatment for brain tumour, therefore he will consult his doctor.Thereafter the police official left the space blank and obtained the signature of the respondent on the statement.The mobile phone of the respondent was also thoroughly examined by the expert .It is further contended that during the prolonged and sustained interrogation nothing incriminating was Crl.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 14 of 19 found against the respondent.The learned senior advocate appearing on behalf of the respondent - Vikram Dahiya contended that apart from the ground of parity the other main ground of the bail application of the respondent was that no offence under Section 420/468/671/34 of IPC and Section 66 of the IT Act are made out against the respondent even if the case of the prosecution is accepted as its face value and the State has failed to satisfy the learned Additional Session Judge that the offences are made out against the respondent.It is contended on behalf of respondent - Vikram Dahiya that the impugned order is not against proprietary and the learned Additional Session Judge has rightly interpreted and followed the order dated 01.11.2013 passed by this Hon'ble Court.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 14 of 19I have heard the contentions raised by learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State as well as the respective counsel representing the case of the respondents.I have also gone through the impugned order passed by learned Additional Session Judge and also perused the documents placed on record.M.C. No. 4023/2013, 4032/2013, 4033/2013 & 5252/2013 Page 15 of 19The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Abdul Basit Vs.Abdul Kadir Choudhary, (2014)10SCC754 held as under:-Generally the grounds for cancellation of bail, broadly, are, (i) the accused misuses his liberty by indulging in similar criminal activity, (ii) interferes with the course of investigation, (iii) attempts to tamper with evidence or witnesses, (iv) threatens witnesses or indulges in similar activities which would hamper smooth investigation, (v) there is likelihood of his fleeing to another country, (vi) attempts to make himself scarce by going underground or becoming unavailable to the investigating agency, (vii) attempts to place himself beyond the reach of his surety, etc. These grounds are illustrative and not exhaustive.This Court observes that there is specific averment on behalf of the respondents in their replies to the present petitions that they had approached the Investigating Officer for performing their part of Crl.This Court is of the opinion that at best, the investigating officer should have started the investigation and during investigation, if he would have found any clue of respondents hiding any material information or found some concrete reason for not cooperating the investigation, then it was open for the Investigating Officer to approach the Court passing the order of anticipatory bail in favour of the respondents, for cancellation of the impugned order.The real position is that the State has preferred to take steps to file petition for cancellation of the bail granted to the respondents, rather than to comply with the order of learned Additional Sessions Judge.In view of the aforesaid observations and discussion and in the peculiar facts of the present case, this Court does not find any ground to interfere in the impugned order passed by the learned Additional Session Judge.Finding no merit in the present petitions filed by the Crl.(P.S.TEJI) JUDGE FEBRUARY 22, 2016 pkb Crl.M.C.

2.The facts in brief are that on March 19, 1973 being theHoli day, the appellant and one Rajan Mani went to the shopof the deceased bearing No. 1259/A/B situated at BalbirNagar, Shahdara, New Delhi and requested him to close thetea shop which he was vending and asked him to take part inplaying Holi.Thereon the deceased refused to accede totheir request.Thereafter, in a huff the appellant andRajan Mani went away with a dire threat to the deceased andhis father, Ved Prakash, PW-1, who remonstrated against thethreat.The appellant was charged for the offenceof murder ofSudhir on March 19, 1973 at 12 noon.The trial courtacquitted him of the charge, but on appeal the High Courtreversed the acquittal and convicted him under Section 302IPC and sentenced him to imprisonment for life.One hour thereafter the appellant came holding agupti (sharp edged weapon) in his right hand to the shop bywhich time the deceased was closing the shop.Rajan Manitook the deceased in his arms and held him back.Theappellant inflicted a fatal blow near the neck and also gaveother minor injuries.PW 1 and PW 3 have seen theoccurrence.The deceased was made to walk for a distance of2530 feet and thereafter he fell down at the house of PW 4.Then he was taken to the hospital.PW 12, thedoctor, conducted the autopsy and found that there were asmany as nine injuries and injury No. 2 was found to be fatalwhich in the opinion of the doctor was sufficient to causedeath in the ordinary course of nature.PW 1 is the fatherof the deceased.PW 3 is another independent witness, whohappened to come over to the area to his sister's house toplay Holi.3.The trial court disbelieved the evidence of PW 3 on theground that PW 1 did not disclose the name of the PW 3either in his initial statement under Section 161 or in hissupplementary statement.The name of PW 3 was also notdisclosed in the FIR.The statement under Section 164 ofCrPC was got recorded.As a result, his evidence wassuspect.The evidence of PW 1 was also disbelieved.TheHigh Court considered the evidence afresh and found that PW3 is an independent witness.PW 1 being the father of thedeceased is not464interested to exclude the real offender and implicate aninnocent person as the assailant of his son and that,therefore, their evidence was found acceptable.The HighCourt accordingly convicted the appellant and confirmed theacquittal of the co-accused, Rajan Mani.4.Shri Das Bahl, learned counsel for the appellant hasreiterated the contentions which were found acceptable tothe trial court, but on consideration of the evidence wefind no justifiable reason to differ from the High Court.It is seen that in the cross-examination of PW 3 he hasgraphically explained the attack mounted by the appellant onthe deceased, but for the fact that he was an eyewitness, itwould be difficult to give such a graphic description of thehappening of the occurrence.Absolutely PW 3 has no axe togrind against the appellant.No material contradictionshave been brought out to doubt his veracity except statingthat he was speaking falsely.PW 3 being an independentwitness, his evidence cannot become suspect merely becausethe statement under Section 164 CrPC was got recorded by thepolice.Perhaps with a view to see that he cannot be gainedover, the police in its usual precaution has got thestatement of PW 3 recorded under Section 164 CrPC.It mightbe that there is an attempt to pressurise PW 3 by gettingthe statement under Section 164 and the prosecutionattempted to pin him down to the statement given to them.But that ground should be taken as a caution to scrutinisethe evidence of PW 3 and subject it to critical examination.We have carefully scanned his evidence keeping these factorsin view and we find that absolutely there are no compellingreasons to differ from the assessment of the evidence by theHigh Court to disbelieve his evidence.That apart, we havethe evidence of PW 1, Ved Prakash, father of the deceased,which is sufficient to hold that the appellant alone hasinflicted the injury which resulted in the death of Sudhir.It is not disputed that PW 1 was present at the time whenthe shop was being closed.Even at the first instance also,the father was present when the threat was administered bythe appellant to the father himself, when he remonstratedagainst the obstruction to his son continuing the teabusiness in his shop.5.On a totality of the facts and the circumstances, weare satisfied that the evidence of PW 1 and PW 3 inspiresconfidence to be acceptable.Accordingly, we accept theirevidence.We have seen the evidence.7.We have seen the nature of the injuries and also thetime gap between the time ofinfliction of the injury tillthe date of death which was two days after the injurywasinflicted.We have no sufficient material as to the natureof the treatment given to the deceased during those twodays.

That the D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 22 of 130 bunch of hair and one strand of hair seized from the room of the children were found to be of human origin and that they were dissimilar in most of their morphological and microscopical characteristics from the hairs contained in exhibit 23 i.e. pubic hair of X and the hair contained in exhibit 24 i.e. the scalp hair of the accused.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 22 of 130A close perusal of the FSL report Ex.PW-37/A shows that 38 parcels were sent by the Investigating Officer to FSL.Out of the said 38 exhibits, 6 exhibits were hairs.Exhibit No.5 was the bunch of hair seized from the room of the children.Exhibit No.6b was one strand of hair seized from the room of the children.Exhibit No.11 was the scalp hair of the deceased.Exhibit 23 was the pubic hair of X. Exhibit 24 was pubic hair of the accused.Exhibit No.25 was the scalp hair of the accused.There is a serious anomaly in the FSL report Ex.PW-37/A. The anomaly is that the FSL report Ex.PW-37/A records that Exhibit No.5/bunch (few strands) of hair seized from the room of the children is dissimilar from Exhibit No.24/scalp hair of the accused.As already noted in para 46 above, exhibit no.24 was pubic hair of the accused and not scalp hair of the accused as recorded in the FSL report Ex.Pubic hair of the accused or scalp hair of the accused?

Exhibit 5 (scalp hair) different from hair in exhibit 23 & 24 (pubic hair)(ii) Only one hair in exhibit 6b & as such no opinion with respect to similarity or otherwise with exhibit 5 can be given.(iii) Exhibit 5, exhibit 11, Ex.25, No opinion is offered whether exhibit 5 is similar with exhibit 11 & Ex.25(i) From morphological and microscopical examination, the hair in exhibit 5, 6b, 11, 23, 24 & 25 were found to be human in origin(ii) Hair in exhibit 5 were found to be dissimilar in most of the morphological & microscopical characteristics with hair in exhibit 23 i.e. Pubic hair of X & exhibit 24 i.e. Pubic hair of accused.(iii) No further opinion."Pursuant thereto, a rough report was prepared recording therein the results of the hair examinations conducted by Anita Chhari and the other examinations conducted at FSL with respect to the case property.The error which occurred was that exhibit 24 was referred to as containing scalp hair of the accused.However, said error was detected and duly corrected.The word scalp was stroked and word pubic was substituted in its place.At the trial, the prosecution examined as many as 48 witnesses.With a view to have clarity in the analysis of the evidence led by the prosecution, we segregate the witnesses of the prosecution into 9 categories, clubbing in one category witnesses who have thrown light on the same issue.We would also be splitting, while noting, the testimonies of the witnesses, whenever required pertaining to the evidence throwing light on different facets/stages of the case of the prosecution.A Witnesses who participated in the preparation of the necessary documents prepared by the police till the FIR was registered: - HC Jai Kumar PW-19, HC Pawan Kumar PW-20, HC Shiv Pratap Singh PW-24 and Const.HC Jai Kumar PW-19, deposed that the entry pertaining to the incident in question was recorded by him in the PCR Form Ex.PW-19/A. HC Pawan Kumar PW-20, deposed that the DD entry Ex.PW-20/A, FIR Ex.B Witnesses who prepared the documents pertaining to the medical condition of the deceased, X and Y:- Dr.K.Goyal PW-1, Dr.M.Arshad PW-2, Dr.Gaurav Singhal PW-3, Dr.Rakesh Kumar PW-4, Dr.A.464/2009 Page 30 of 130 That she made the endorsement Ex.PW-8/B on the MLC Ex.PW- 2/B of Y and prepared the treatment record Ex.PW-8/C of Y.PW-9/C to the police.Santosh Kumar Upadhyaya PW-11, deposed that he is working as Record Clerk at Sunder Lal Jain Hospital and that the case note Ex.PW-11/A of Y, discharge summary Ex.PW-11/C of X were prepared by Dr.Rakesh Kumar Gupta.That Dr.PW-36/B on the said application allowing the return of the said application.A.464/2009 Page 34 of 130 save herself by taking a turn.The accused inflicted several knife blows on her body.The accused also gave knife blows on the neck and back of X. The accused removed the under pant of X as also his clothes.Thereafter the accused committed bad act with X. The accused made X to lie on her bed and again committed bad act with her.(The witness explained the meaning of bad act by stating that (Quote) 'By bad act I mean that he laid himself on my sister'.) The accused placed his fingers on the nostrils of X to ascertain if she was breathing or not and went out of the room.After a while X asked her to call their mother but she did not go as she was scared.After sometime X herself went to room of their parents by crawling on the floor.On the way to hospital I was accompanied by my first floor neighbour Sh.Gurmeet Singh.' On being questioned about the knife which was stuck in the neck of the deceased the witness stated that (Quote) 'I had removed the knife from the neck of my son and the same was left at the spot.That knife remained on the spot when I left for D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.The accused was also present in their bedroom up till 11.00 P.M. and thereafter he also left from there.The accused used to sleep in a room built on the roof of their house.At about 12.40 AM she heard the noise that of light being switched on upon which she woke up and saw that X was smeared with blood and was not having any undergarments on her person.She woke up her husband and made X to lie on her bed.X told her that she has been assaulted by the accused.In the meantime Y also came there and told her that the accused has stabbed D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 41 of 130 her, X and the deceased.On hearing the same, she and her husband rushed to the bedroom of the children where they saw that a knife is stuck in the neck of the deceased.Her husband pulled out the knife from the neck of the deceased.They raised an alarm.She and her neighbours put on the clothes on the person of X and removed the children to Sunder Lal Jain Hospital.On the intervening night of 18.19/10.2006 at about 12.20 PM or 12.30 PM he was about to go to sleep when he heard some noise but he ignored the same.After a while he heard a voice saying that my children have been caused injuries.I remained in the hospital only for 5 D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 44 of 130 minutes.When I returned back to the house I saw the police officials, present there.'D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 44 of 130D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 45 of 130As per the said register, a female D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.Believing the evidence of X PW-21 and Y PW-22, to be creditworthy, the learned Trial Judge has convicted the accused of having murdered the deceased, attempted to murder X and Y and raped X. With respect to the charge under Section 392 IPC framed against the accused, the learned Trial Judge has held that since there is no evidence to show that the accused used force to remove the ring from the finger of X he cannot be convicted for the offence of having committed robbery of the ring of X. The learned Trial Judge held that the accused is guilty of committing theft of the ring of X, an offence punishable under Section 379 IPC.(We shall be noting the reasoning of the learned Trial Judge with regard to imposition of death penalty on the accused in the later part of this judgment).At the hearing, numerous arguments were advanced by the learned counsel for the accused, which arguments can be divided into following two categories:-A.464/2009 Page 53 of 130 the trial court shows that the lawyer appointed by the trial court to defend the accused defended the accused in a most slipshod manner inasmuch as he did not appear before the trial court on many dates and did not subject witnesses of the prosecution to any cross-examination.PW-27/A and FSL report Ex.PW-37/A. Counsel urged that the recordings contained in the PCR form Ex.PW-19/A and DD entry Ex.PW-37/A that semen was detected on the vaginal swabs of both X and Y establishes that both the girls had sexual intercourse on the date of the offence.PW-19/A. Counsel urged that the gap of 35 minutes between the time of reaching of Gurpreet Singh at the place of occurrence and time of his informing the police about the incident shows that the parents of the children and Gurpreet Singh bought time to decide a strategy as to what should have been told to the police before conveying information of the incident to the police.The reason given by Inspector for seeking the remand of the accused was that the accused is required to be interrogated to ascertain the source of knife used by him for committing the offence.PW-6/A dated 20.10.2006 and 22.10.2006 respectively record the age of the accused as 22 years.The report Ex.PW- 12/A of the sexual examination of the accused dated 20.10.2006 records the age of the accused as 20 years.The report further records that the accused is married and is father of a female child.It can again be assumed D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 66 of 130 without any doubt that the aforesaid submission would have been made by the counsel on the basis of the information provided to him by the accused.Considering the aforesaid recordings and the fact that the accused was married and was having a female child on the date of offence, we hold that the accused was aged 19-20 years on the date of offence.We may hasten to add that the accused has very cleverly not informed about the date and the year of his birth or the place of his birth, thereby preventing an investigation into the primary facts with reference to the record of the Registrar of Births and Deaths or the village panchayat, depending upon whether the accused was born in a rural or an urban area.This has also prevented the issue to be investigated by examining the parents of the accused.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 65 of 130The case was adjourned to 23.02.2007 for hearing of arguments on framing of charges against the accused.On 23.02.2007 the arguments on framing of charges against the accused were D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 67 of 130 heard and the case was adjourned to 06.03.2007 for order on charge.On the next dates i.e. 06.03.2007 and 08.03.2007 the case was adjourned.On 09.03.2007 charges were framed against the accused.The accused pleaded not guilty to the charges framed against him and the case was adjourned to 18.04.2007 for the recording of prosecution evidence.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 67 of 130On 18.04.2007 three witnesses namely K.Goyal PW-1, Dr.M.Arshad PW-2 and Dr.Gaurav Singhal PW-3 were examined.It be noted here that counsel for the accused was not present in the court on the said date and therefore the witnesses could not be subjected to cross-examination.The case was adjourned to 16.05.2007 for recording of the remaining prosecution evidence.On 16.05.2007 the witnesses; Dr.Rakesh Kumar PW-4, Gurpreet Singh PW-5 Dr.Hari Gupta PW-6, Dr.Sudha Kansal PW-7, Dr.Seema Patni PW-8 and Dr.Uma Rani Swain PW-9 were examined.The said witnesses were not subjected to any cross- examination by counsel for the accused.It is most relevant to note here that the witnesses examined till this time were formal witnesses.None of the said witnesses deposed anything which was incriminatory to the accused in the present case.On the same date Gurpreet Singh PW-5, the neighbour of the children, was examined.He was the first witness whose evidence incriminated the accused in the D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.At the time of the cross-examination of the witness, the accused pleaded guilty to the charges framed against him.He also filed an application in said regard and the same was taken on record by the trial court.The witness was not subjected to any cross-examination by counsel for the accused.Thereafter the witnesses; Ramesh Kumar Aggarwal PW-10 and Santosh Kumar Upadhyaya PW-11 were partly examined and the case was adjourned to 26.05.2007 for recording of the remaining prosecution evidence and the accused was directed to rethink over the guilty plea taken by him.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 68 of 130On 26.05.2007 the examination-in-chief of the witnesses; Ramesh Kumar Aggarwal PW-10 and Santosh Kumar Upadhyaya PW-11, was completed and the other witnesses Dr.The said witnesses were not subjected to any cross-examination by counsel for the accused.The accused filed a second application pleading guilty to the charges framed against him.On the next dates the case was adjourned.Thereafter on 13.09.2007 witness namely HC Jai Kumar PW-19 was examined.It be noted here that counsel for the accused was not present in the court on the said date.The case was D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.On 27.09.2007 S.K.Jha, Advocate appraised the court that he does not want to defend the accused and in such circumstances, Mr.K.S.Rana, Advocate was appointed as counsel for the accused.On 01.11.2007 witnesses; HC Pawan Kumar PW-20 and X PW-21 were examined.X PW-21, was cross-examined at length whereas HC Pawan Kumar was not subjected to any cross-examination by counsel for the accused.On 2.11.2007 and 03.11.2007 Y PW-22 and Nirmala Aggarwal PW-23 were examined and subjected to a lengthy cross-examination.Thereafter on 3/4/5/6/7.12.2007 the witnesses; HC Shiv Pratap Singh PW-24, Const.Tejpal PW-25, ASI Manish Kumar Bhardwaj PW-26, SI Ajay Kumar PW-27, HC Yogender PW-28, Inspector Vimal Kishore PW-29, HC Sanjay PW-30 and Const.Ramesh Chand PW-31, were examined and subjected to cross-examination.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 69 of 130On 07.12.2007 counsel for the accused requested the trial court to allow him to cross-examine Ramesh Kumar Aggarwal PW-10, which request was accepted by the trial court and Ramesh Kumar Aggarwal was recalled.On the same date, counsel for the accused cross-examined Ramesh Kumar Aggarwal.On the next dates i.e. 16/17/18.01.2008 the witnesses; HC Rajpal PW-32, HC Tejpal PW-33, SI Rishipal Singh PW-34, SI D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 70 of 130 Ramesh Dixit PW-35, Dr.V.K.Goyal PW-36, Anita Chhari PW-37 and SI Manohar Lal PW-38 were examined and subjected to cross-examination.On 17.01.2008 the accused filed third application pleading guilty to the charges framed against him.Vide order dated 17.01.2008 the trial court rejected all the applications filed by the accused pleading guilty to the charges framed against him.On the same date, counsel for the accused filed an application before the trial court seeking recall of the witnesses; Gurpreet Singh PW-5 and Prem Prakash Aggarwal PW-17, which application was allowed by the learned trial court.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 70 of 130On 02.02.2008 the witness; SI Dharampal PW-40 was examined and subjected to cross-examination.On the next date i.e. 04.02.2008 the witnesses; Gurpreet Singh PW-5 and Ramesh Aggarwal PW-17 were cross-examined by counsel for the accused.On the next date i.e.03.03.2008 the accused filed an application before the trial court seeking transfer of his case from the court which was dealing with his case to another court on the ground that the court which is dealing with his D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.In such circumstances, the matter was placed before District and Sessions Judge.On the same date, District and Sessions Judge sent the matter back to the concerned court in view of the submissions made by counsel for the accused that he does not want the case to be transferred to another court.On the next date 04.03.2008 the witness namely Ajay Goel PW-41 was examined and subjected to cross- examination.The accused filed yet another application pleading guilty to the charges framed against him, which application was again rejected by the trial court.On the next dates the witnesses HC Arun Kumar PW-42, Geeta Arora PW- 43, Santosh Kumar PW-44 and Dr.Urvashi Prasad Jha PW-46 were examined and subjected to cross-examination.On 03.05.2008 the accused filed an application before the trial court for taking on record his confessional statement recorded by Metropolitan Magistrate under section 164 Cr.P.C., which application was dismissed by the trial court.On 13.05.2008 Inspector Baltej Singh PW-48 was examined and subjected to cross-examination.The evidence of the prosecution was closed by the prosecutor.On 02.07.2008 the statement of the accused was recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. wherein he virtually admitted all the incriminating D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 72 of 130 circumstances appearing against him.Thereafter the case kept on getting adjourned.On 24.09.2008 after a perusal of its order sheets the trial court found that the witnesses; K.Goyal PW-1, Dr.M.Arshad PW- 2 and Dr.Gaurav Singhal PW-3 and Dr.Rakesh Kumar were examined in the absence of counsel of the accused.(It may be noted here that learned trial court has wrongly noted that Dr.Rakesh Kumar PW-4 was examined in the absence of counsel of the accused.In that view of the matter, trial court gave an opportunity to the counsel for the accused to recall the said witnesses for cross-examination, which opportunity was not availed by counsel on the ground that the said witnesses were formal witnesses.Thereafter the arguments were heard and D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 73 of 130 the court passed the impugned judgment and order on sentence.The learned trial court gave an opportunity to counsel for the accused to recall and cross-examine the witnesses who were examined in the absence of defence counsel.Whether a conclusion can be drawn from the PCR Form Ex.PW-19/A, DD entry Ex.PW-27/A that the offence was committed by more than one person?Generally, the process of criminal law sets into motion when the informant rings up number 100 and the said call is received at the police control room which is centralized.The duty officer at PCR thereupon notes the information provided D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 78 of 130 by the informant in the PCR form and conveys the said information either over the telephone or wireless to the concerned police station where the duty officer notes down the same in the DD register.The error which crept in the PCR form Ex.PW-19/A was bound to occur in the DD entry Ex.PW-20/A as the DD entries are prepared on the basis of the information recorded in the PCR form.PW-9/B of gynecological D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 79 of 130 examination of Y records that hymen of Y was found intact.The question which thus arises is that how come semen was found on vaginal swab of Y when she was not subjected to sexual intercourse?D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 79 of 130The answer to the aforesaid question lies in the testimony of X and Y. As already noted herein above, both X and Y deposed that the accused asked Y to remove her pant.Y stated in her cross-examination that she sat on the bed on which the accused raped X. These two depositions explain the presence of semen on the vaginal swab of X. Though it is not clear from the testimony X and Y whether Y did remove her pant or not the fact, that semen was found on her vaginal swab shows that Y did remove her pant.The fact of the matter is that Y removed her pant as directed by the accused and sat on the bed on which the accused raped X after removing her pant.The semen of the accused fell on the bed sheet spread on the said bed and the vagina of Y got stained with the semen which had fallen on the bed sheet as she was sitting on the said bed and her private parts were not covered by any cloth.Pertaining to the submission that the parents of the children and Gurpreet Singh bought time before conveying information of the incident to the police, it be noted here that X deposed that at around 12.00 A.M. on 19.10.2006 she heard D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.It depends on the time-sense of individuals which varies from person to person.Where was the time for X and Y to comprehend that the accused has left their room and that they should rush to the room of their parents in the absence of the accused?This takes us to the next two submissions advanced by the learned counsel predicated upon the statement Ex.PW- 46/A of X. X was seriously ill at the time when she wrote her statement Ex.PW-46/A. She had undergone tracheotomy and D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 86 of 130 the tracheotomy tube was still inside her neck.It is most reasonable to assume that the mental faculties of X were slow at that time because of which she took some time to remember the name of the accused.What is significant to note that X was able to correctly state that the name of the accused was Sanjay, that he was their domestic servant and that he was working in their house since last one week even when she was seriously ill.Far from showing that X was tutored to falsely implicate the accused statement Ex.PW-46/A goes a long way in showing that X spoke the truth at the first available opportunity.The accused was armed with a knife.The children were caught unawares as the accused attacked them while they were sleeping.The accused was under a fit of rage.He was inflicting injuries on X when she was trying to stop him.X was badly injured by the accused.X was defenceless.In these circumstances could X have managed to injure the accused? The answer is an emphatic NO.The next question which has arisen is that whether the conduct of the mother of the children in going with the police to look for the accused too soon after the occurrence can be D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.Different people react differently in similar situations.In the facts of the present case it is completely comprehensible that the mother of the children was filled with fury against the accused and that her anger for the accused outweighed her other emotions.We find nothing unnatural in the conduct of mother of the children in assisting the police in arresting the deceased too soon after the occurrence.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 87 of 130Whether the knives seized by the police from the place of occurrence were planted?It is no doubt true that the brief facts Ex.PW-1/C8 pertaining to the death of the deceased records that one knife was recovered from the place of occurrence.What is equally relevant to note is the fact that the other documents which were prepared contemporaneously with the brief facts Ex.PW- 1/C8 record that two knives have been recovered from the place of occurrence.The crime team report Ex.PW-27/A records that two knives were recovered from the place of occurrence.The photographs of the place of occurrence show the presence of two knives at the place of occurrence.The police officials who participated in the spot investigation have deposed that two knives were recovered from the place of occurrence.Nirmala Aggarwal PW-23, has deposed about the presence of two knives at the place of occurrence.In the light D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 88 of 130Though the fact that two knives were recovered from the place of occurrence indicates that the weapon of offence was knife, but the same was not a conclusive proof.The picture would have come out clearly only after the post-mortem of the deceased.The investigating officer wanted to be completely sure that the knife was the weapon of offence and therefore he did not record in the death report that the knife was the weapon of the offence.But at the same time it is also worth mentioning that the witness stated in his cross- examination that 'I had removed the knife from the neck of my son and the same was left at the spot.That knife remained on the spot when I left for the hospital.I did not find that knife there in my house when I came back at 10.00 am from the hospital'.A witness, though wholly truthful, is liable to be overawed by the court atmosphere and the piercing cross examination by counsel and out of nervousness mix up facts, get confused regarding sequence of events, or fill up details from imagination on the spur of the moment.A cumulative reading of the aforesaid deposition made by Rakesh Kumar Aggarwal PW-10, shows that he got carried away while deposing facts and imagined that the knife which was stuck in the neck of the deceased was taken away by the accused.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 89 of 130To deal with the submission predicated upon the deposition of Gurpreet Singh PW-5, relating to the knives recovered from the place of occurrence, it is necessary to closely scrutinize the evidence of Gurpreet Singh.Gurpreet Singh PW-5, deposed that he went to the room where the occurrence took place but did not see any knife there.He stated in his cross-examination that he went to the said room after the arrival of the police at the place of occurrence.The powers of observation differ from person to person.What one may notice, another may not.An object or movement might emboss its image on one person's mind whereas it might go unnoticed on the part of another.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.Having given no opportunity to the witnesses to explain the circumstance pertaining to lifting of finger prints from the knives in question no adverse inference can be taken against the prosecution.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 91 of 130There must have been mayhem at the place of occurrence after the incident.Inspector Vimal Kishore deposed that he along with HC Yogender left Delhi at about 04.00/04.30 A.M. on 19.10.2006 to go to Rishikesh to arrest the accused.It is thus apparent that an innocuous error has been committed by HC Yogender in deposing the time when the police party left Delhi to go to Rishikesh to arrest the accused.PW-2/B of Y. The endorsement dated 19.10.2006 made on the application Ex.The eighth feature is that the parents of the children deposed that X and Y deposed that immediately after the occurrence X and Y came to their room and told them that the accused has committed the crime.It is also relevant to note that Gurpreet Singh PW-5 deposed that he went to the place of occurrence on hearing the alarm raised by the parents of the children, which alarm was raised by them soon after the occurrence.A.464/2009 Page 126 of 130Following aggravating circumstances have been noted by the trial court against the appellant:-The accused is acquitted of the offence punishable under Section 379 IPC for the reason we have found a taint in the manner the ring has been recovered as discussed in para 144 above.D.Sen.Ref.4/2008 & Crl.A.464/2009 Page 129 of 130

(Under Article 32 of the Constitution of India) Mrs. Nalini Chidambaram and Miss Seita Vaidyalingam forthe Petitioner.The Judgment of the Court was delivered by.CHANDRACHUD, C.J. By this petition under Article 32 ofthe Constitution, the petitioner challenges the validity ofsection 497 of the Penal Code which defines the offence of'adultery' and prescribes punishment for it.A few facts,interesting but unfortunate, leading to this petition arethese:The petitioner filed a petition for divorce against herhusband on the ground of desertion.The trial courtdismissed that petition, holding that the petitioner herselfhad deserted the husband and not the other way about.Thereafter, the husband filed a petition for divorce againstthe petitioner on two grounds: firstly, that she haddeserted him and secondly, that she was living in adulterywith a person called Dharma Ebenezer.The petitionerconceded in that petition that in view of the findingrecorded in the earlier proceeding that she had deserted herhusband, a decree for divorce may be passed against her onthe ground of desertion.That plea was opposed by the husband.He contended that hewas entitled to obtain a decree of divorce against thepetitioner not only on the ground of desertion but also onthe ground of adultery and that, there was no reason why heshould be denied an opportunity to show that the petitionerwas living in adultery.The husband's contention wasaccepted by the trial court but, in a revision applicationfiled by the petitioner, the High Court accepted her pleaand held that since, the finding recorded in the earlierpetition was binding on the parties, a decree for divorcehad to be passed in favour of the744husband on the ground of desertion and that, it wasunnecessary to inquire into the question of adultery.Weare informed at the Bar that, pursuant to the High Court'sview, a decree for divorce has already been passed in favourof the husband on the ground that the petitioner haddeserted him.Therewill be no order as to costs.

['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']

Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.

The present petition u/S. 482 of Cr.P.C. invoking inherent powers of the Court has been filed for quashment of FIR (Annexure P-3) bearing crime No. 264/2014 alleging offence punishable u/Ss. 395, 397 of IPC and section 11/13 of MPDVPK Act registered at police station Civil Lines, Morena against the petitioner.2. Learned counsel for the petitioners primarily raises three grounds; first ground is that the said FIR is an outcome of an act of retaliation because one Parasram who is relative of petitioner was murdered in regard to which separate FIR was lodged on 05/06/2013 bearing crime No. 286/2013 (Annexure P-1) alleging offence punishable u/Ss. 302, 147, 148, 149, 294 of IPC; second ground is that the impugned FIR has been lodged solely on the basis of direction issued by this Court in MCRC No. 631/2014, whereby certain directions were issued to the police authorities to act under section 154 of Cr.P.C. upon the complaint filed by 2 Ramveer & Ors.Government of U.P. & Ors.reported in (2014) 2 SCC 1 and the third ground is that the alleged offence contained in impugned FIR is vitiated on the ground that the basic ingredient of alleged offence of Dacoity is not made out.Before embarking on the ground of retaliation, it is important to find out as to whether the allegation contained in impugned FIR make out the basic ingredient of offence alleged or not?The offence alleged is of Dacoity u/S. 391, 395 & 397 IPC are reproduced herein below for ready reference and convenience :-Section 391 - Dacoity "When five or more persons conjointly commit or attempt to commit a robbery, or where the whole number of persons conjointly committing or attempting to commit a robbery, and persons present and aiding such commission or attempt, amount to five or more, every person so committing, attempting or aiding, is said to commit "dacoity."Ramveer & Ors.State of M.P.M.Cr.C. No.5898/2014 Section 395 - Punishment for dacoity "Whoever commits dacoity shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or with rigorous imprisonment for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine."Section 397 - Robbery, or dacoity, with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt :-"If, at the time of commuting robbery or dacoity, the offender uses any deadly weapon, or causes grievous hurt to any person, or attempts to cause death or grievous hurt to any person, the imprisonment with which such offender shall be punished shall not be less than seven years."Bare perusal of the allegation contained in impugned FIR reveals that the accused barged into the house of the victim and forcibly took away 300 bags of wheat and some bags of Arahar and Gram pulses.It is also alleged that T.V., Fridge and other utensils were also taken away along with 30 buffaloes, after extending intimidation and dire consequences to the 4 Ramveer & Ors.State of M.P.M.Cr.C. No.5898/2014 victim.The basic ingredients of Dacoity which is an aggravated form of theft are that while causing theft if intimidation, threat to cause injuries or death is extended by five or more persons, the offence of Dacoity is made out.The allegation contained in the impugned FIR which on prima facie basis reflects that the victim was deprived of certain properties belonging to her by entering into the house and taking away the properties by extending intimidation, threat or fear to cause injury / death.The petitioners were more than five in number and, therefore, on plain reading of the FIR the alleged offence of Dacoity is made out.As regards, other ground of lodging of impugned FIR to be an act of retaliation, this Court is of the prima facie view that the offence alleged of Dacoity is made out in view of allegation contained in the impugned FIR, the said ground cannot be considered in favour of the petitioners.Since Parasram (relative of the petitioner) was murdered, the impugned FIR was lodged as an act of retaliation, this Court 5 Ramveer & Ors.State of M.P.M.Cr.C. No.5898/2014 cannot come to the conclusion that injustice is being caused to the petitioners to the extent of compelling this Court can invoke its inherent powers u/S. 482 of Cr.P.C. No such power can be invoked in favour of the petitioners by presuming that due to an act of retaliation the impugned FIR has been lodged by the victim.Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that the allegation contained in impugned FIR are absurd and baseless.This Court is afraid that the veracity of the allegation contained in the impugned FIR cannot be adjudged at this stage unless they are put to test on the anvil of evidence adduced.The order passed in MCRC No. 631/2014 has not been brought on record.M.Cr.C. No.5898/2014 542 in respect of the ground that the petitioners were not heard before FIR impugned was lodged against them, Anjani Kumar vs. State of Bihar and Anr.reported in (2008) 2 SCC (Cr.) 582 in respect of the submission that the impugned FIR is an outcome of retaliation and therefore is vitiated by malafide and lastly reliance is placed on the decision of the Apex Court in case of Manoj Mahavir Prasad Khaitan v. Ram Gopal Poddar and Anr.reported in (2011) 1 SCC (Cr.) 94 in respect of submission that allegation in the impugned FIR are absurd and vague.In regard to decisions cited by learned counsel for the petitioners supra there is no quarrel that each one of them is an authority by itself on the facts and circumstances prevailing therein.However, none of these decisions of the Apex Court lay down that even if on plain reading of FIR impugned, the allegation contained therein discloses commission of cognizable offence, even then the High Court is empowered to exercise inherent powers u/S. 482 of Cr.P.C. to quash the FIR.State of M.P.M.Cr.C. No.5898/2014 which were found to be a counter blast to the action taken by the accused in his official capacity.13.3 Considering the delayed lodging of impugned FIR and also the fact that the accused in the impugned FIR are the complainant in the earlier FIR Annexure P-1, presumption arises that subsequent FIR is an after thought, lodged merely to take revenge.However, considering the fact that the allegation contained in the impugned FIR relates to dacoity in Morena which is notified as a kidnapping at dacoity affected area under the special enactment of MPDVPK Act, 1981 and allegation on prima facie basis satisfy the 8 Ramveer & Ors.This Court on hearing learned counsel for the petitioners found that the victim in the impugned FIR had informed the police about commission of cognizable offence and since police authorities failed to act upon it, MCRC No. 631/2014 was filed where this Court issued direction keeping in view the decision of the Apex Court in the case of Lalita Kumari(supra) that every police officer is obliged to lodge FIR in case information furnished discloses commission of cognizable offence.Accordingly necessary directions by this Court were issued to the police authorities to act upon the complaint filed by the victim in terms of section 154 of Cr.P.C. after keeping in view the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Lalita Kumari (supra).Reading of impugned FIR does not indicate that merely on the direction of this Court impugned FIR was lodged, but it was lodged on account of furnishing of information in regard to commission of cognizable offence of Dacoity.There is another submission raised by learned counsel for the petitioners that before passing order in MCRC No. 631/2014, petitioners were not heard.In this regard, this Court is of the considered view that lodging of FIR u/S. 154 of Cr.P.C. there is no need to hear the accused before lodging the FIR.Section 154 of Cr.P.C. is reproduced herein below for ready reference and convenience :-"Section 154 - Information in cognizable cases (1) Every information relating to the commission of a cognizable offence, if given orally to an officer in charge of a police station, shall be reduced to writing by him or under his direction, and be read over to the informant; and every such information, whether given in writing or reduced to writing as aforesaid, shall be signed by the person giving it, and the substance thereof shall be entered in a book to be kept by such officer in such form as the State Government may prescribe in this behalf.Provided further that--(a) in the event that the person against whom an offence under section 354, section 354A, section 354B, section 354C, section 354D, sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) of section 376, section 376A,section 376B, section 376C, section 376D or section 376E of the Indian Penal Code is alleged to have been committed or attempted is temporarily or permanently mentally or physically disabled, then such information shall be recorded by a police officer, at the residence of the person seeking to report such offence or at a convenient place of such person's choice, in the presence of a special educator or an interpreter, as the case may be;(b) the recording of such information may be videographed.Ramveer & Ors.M.Cr.C.

Chidambaram and tied the watchman and the cook of the house and stole a silver idol worth about Rs.10,000/-.During the occurrence, the watchman of the house, namely, Azhagappan was injured.In this regard, the said Azhagappan lodged an information before Panaiyapatti police station on 18.09.2002 at about 3.00 a.m. Based on the same, Crime No.125 of 2002 was registered for the offence under Section 397 of I.P.C.Investigation was taken up and final report came to be laid against as many as 10 persons before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Thirumayam.It was taken up for trial in S.C.No.66 of 2009 on the file of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Pudukkottai.Out of the 10 accused, only six accused were available for facing the trial and the remaining four accused had absconded.Thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 3 appellants pleaded not guilty to the charges and claimed to be tried.The charges framed against the appellants as follows:-prosecution examined as many as 17 witnesses and marked Ex.P.1 to Ex.M.O.1 to M.O.7 were also marked.The learned trial Judge after a detailed consideration of the evidence on record, sentenced the accused as under:-Accused Nos.1 to 6 120(b)of I.P.C. To undergo 2 years R.I. Accused Nos.1 to 5 395 of I.P.C. To undergo 5 years R.I.120(b)of I.P.C. with fine of Rs.1,000/-, in default to undergo 3 months R.I.Accused No.6 412 of I.P.C. To undergo 2 years R.I.Challenging the Judgment dated 31.03.2010, this Criminal appealhttp://www.judis.nic.in 4 has been filed.Even though the appeal was filed through a counsel, when the matter was taken up for hearing, there was no representation on the side of the accused.Since they have already served the entire terms of sentence, this appeal is dismissed as far as accused Nos.2 and 3 are concerned.The identification of an accused before the trial Court alone would be the substantive evidence.In this case, P.W.1 Palani could not identify any of the accused before the trial Court.In fact the entire case of the prosecution rested on the statement recorded under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. from one Sikkandharkani.But he turned hostile before the Court.As regards accused No.6, the learned Government Advocate would contend that the idol in question M.O.1 was seized only from the house of the sixth accused and that is why the charge under Section 412 of I.P.C. was also framed against him.But then, the learned Legal Aid counsel appearing for the appellants drew my attention to the testimony of P.W.17, namely, investigation officer who had statedhttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 that on the date when M.O.1 2¼ Kg.silver Vinayagar idol was seized, no confession was obtained from accused No.6 Ramachandra Prabhu.Looked at from any angle, I am of the view that the impugned Judgment cannot stand as far as accused Nos.1,4, 5 and 6 are concerned and the same is set aside as far as they are concerned.The Criminal appeal stands allowed as far as accused Nos.1,4, 5 and 6 are concerned.No costs.The Additional District and Sessions Judge cum Fast Track Court, Pudukkottai.The Inspector of Police, Panaiyappatti Police Station, Pudukkottai District.3.The Section Officer, Criminal Section, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.http://www.judis.nic.in 8 G.R.SWAMINATHAN, J.pmu Crl.A.(MD)No.127 of 2010 22.07.2019http://www.judis.nic.in

Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and learned Panel Lawyer for the State.Learned counsel for the appellant made three-fold submissions :-(i) That the prosecution has failed to establish beyond reasonable doubt the presence of the appellant in the house at the relevant point of time and as a result whereof no guilt can be fastened on the appellant for the offence under Section 306, Indian Penal Code.(ii) Apart attribution of beating to the deceased it cannot be said and held to be an act of abetting of suicide by the appellant and at the most if any liability in regard to the beating could be found that could be an offence only under Section 323, Indian Penal Code.Before the trial Court there were two questions for consideration as have been stated in paragraph 5 of the Judgment :-So far as the question of cruelty at the hands of the appellant against her wife Nirmalabai was concerned, the Court recorded a finding in paragraph 37 of the judgment.So far as the earlier incident was concerned, the cruelty cannot be established against him and for that he cannot be held guilty and that question was decided in negative.Second question was decided in affirmative but the appellant was not found guilty for offence under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.He was found guilty for committing abetment between the period 7-1-1990 and 8-1-1990 which resulted in commission of suicide by Nirmalabai.It has come in the evidence of P.W. 2 Sushilabai in paragraph 6 that in the house apart from Nirmalabai, her husband's elder brother Ajabsingh, Tulsabai (wife of Ajabsingh) and Kotubai (second wife of the appellant) were living in the same house.None of these persons has been examined by the prosecution.So far evidence of Sushilabai (P.W.2) is concerned, there was enmity as a result of which she was not in talking terms with the deceased since last 8 years.Further in paragraph 12 she has stated that there are other houses adjacent to the house of the appellant.In the east side are the houses of Jagdish Wadi, Shyamabai and Ramesh Wadi.In the north side, adjacent to the house of the appellant, are the houses of Anarsingh, Yavalsingh, Umeshsingh etc. and in front of the house of the accused are the houses of Madansingh Master, Mastan Singh, Manohar Singh and Jeevan Singh.None of these witnesses has been examined.P.W.2 Sushilabai was not an independent witness as she was an interested witness, She has stated in her statement that Nirmalabai did not use to come to her place.She has stated that her father and brother are in the party of Madan Singh Master with whom the appellant is having litigation.Learned counsel further pointed out that P.W. 2 Sushilabai in her statement stated that on the date of occurrence she went to the temple and after returning back from the temple she heard the voice of Nirmalabai.On that day other ladies, whose houses were in the vicinity, adjacent to the house of the appellant, also went to temple and they returned with her from the temple when she heard the voice of Nirmalabai soliciting help.But in spite of availability of the witnesses, the prosecution did not examine any independent witness.P.W. 4 Jagdish, who was the witness of hearing voice of Nirmalabai soliciting help and calling for not beating, was declared hostile.The witness in the statement stated that the voice which he heard was that of a lady as it was a lady like voice.In his statement in paragraph 6 he has stated that he was working with Gajraj Singh, who is in the party of Madan Master.He worked at his place and was still working on the date of deposition.He clearly stated that between the parties of Devi Singh and Madan Master cases are going on in the Court of S.D.O. He also admitted a case against him where he was included in the party of Madan Master.The witness accordingly is not an independent witness.That apart, from the independent witnesses, the prosecution itself got the witness declared hostile.He was declared hostile on the point that in the statement under Section 161, Criminal Procedure Code the police recorded that at that time the voice of Devi Singh was coming out and he was scolding his wife, which statement he denied, that he never gave any such statement to the police and he categorically stated that he did not hear any voice of Devi Singh.Then the prosecution examined Karan Singh as a witness for hearing the voice of Nirmalabai, but this witness did not support at all the prosecution case and he made a statement that on the relevant night no voice of shouting of Devi Singh or his wife was heard by him and he did not give any such statement to the police under Section 161, Criminal Procedure Code.On this basis, the prosecution got him declared hostile.There is no other evidence which could link the appellant or establish the appellant about his presence in the house at the relevant point of time.As such the presence of the appellant in the house at the relevant point of time has not been established by the prosecution beyond any reasonable doubt and when the presence of the appellant in the house at the relevant time when occurrence took place has not been established then the question of abetment by instigation does not arise.

Yakub (PW-7) and Sahida (PW-3) and informed them that he had quarreled with his family members, and wanted to stay with Asma at her parents house.It appears that Asmas parents expressed, to the appellant, their reluctance to accede to such a plan.Instead, they requested the appellant to bring his parents to meet them, stating that they would send Asma back with him only after his parents assured them that they would take care of her.Thereafter, the appellant left and returned with his parents, sister and brother-in-law, who assured Asmas parents that they would take care of her, whereupon Asmas parents agreed to send Asma, with him, back to their house.3 Around 2-3 days thereafter, on 26th June, 2011, at around 8.00 AM, a call was received, at P.S.

36(xi) In his cross-examination, SI Om Prakash deposed that he had recorded the statement of Asma under the guidance of the SDM, though this fact was not mentioned by him anywhere.The suggestion that

36(xiii) In his cross-examination, Dr. Brijesh Singh accepted that he had not put his signature below the "fitness" endorsement of Asma.He further confirmed that he had not mentioned, in the MLC of the appellant, that he was fit for giving statement, as he had already stated, in the MLC, that he was conscious and oriented, and his injury was not serious.He also accepted that the statement, by him, that Asma had suffered 60% burns, as also recorded on the body of the MLC, could also be 85%, as he had only mentioned an approximate percentage on a preliminary examination.He further confirmed that the reference, to Asma, as "conscious and oriented" meant that she could speak properly, and denied the suggestion that a person who had suffered 85% burns would not be in a position to speak clearly.(xiv) PW-22, Inspector Surinder Dahiya, whose statement was recorded on 22nd October 2012, deposed, during his cross- examination, that he was not present when the SDM (Ram Phal Singh PW-11) was recording the statement of Asma.Several questions were put to him, all of which he denied.He stated that he was innocent and falsely Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 20 of 36 implicated in the case.He further stated that while cooking food, the deceased accidentally caught fire and upon hearing her cries, he rushed to her and in the process of extinguishing the fire, he also received burn injuries on his hands and forehand.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 20 of 36Impugned Judgement of learned ASJVide the impugned judgement, dated 12 th April 2013, the learned ASJ has held the appellant guilty of having committed murder of Asma and, accordingly, has convicted him under Section 302 of the IPC.In so holding, the learned ASJ, relies, extensively, and predictably, on the "dying declaration" of Asma.He also places reliance on the deposition of PW-19 Dr. Brijesh Singh, to the effect that Asma was conscious and oriented and fit to give a statement.He has accepted, as correct, the deposition of PW-11 Ram Phal Singh (the SDM), regarding the recording of the said statement of Asma.As regards the exculpatory statements of Asmas parents, the learned ASJ holds that, as part of the cross examination of Sahida (PW-3) took place prior to lunch, and part thereafter, there was every chance of her having been won over during lunchtime.He also holds that, though it would have been better if the statement of Asma had been recorded by the SDM himself, or in question answer form, these minor irregularities were not sufficient to discredit the said statement.He has also relied on the fact that the smell of kerosene was present, indicating that kerosene had been "put on" Asmas clothes.A. 1388/2013 Page 21 of 36 accused in the statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. then how kerosene oil fell on her cloth", and answers the query by opining that "this is only possible if kerosene oil was poured either by deceased herself or poured by someone else." On this basis, the learned ASJ has completely rejected the proposal that Asma was accidentally burnt while cooking food.He further relies on the fact that the appellant had himself stated that there were strained relations between Asma and him, and his family members.At the same time, he could neither remember the name of the doctor, nor had any written certification, to this effect, obtained from him.This assertion appears, on a reading of the statement itself, to be, prima facie, unacceptable, as the statement reads as a continuous recitation, and not as answers to questions which were periodically being put to Asma.PW-11 further stated that Asma was burnt from the chest downward, with bandages on both hands, and was crying in pain at the time.If there were bandages on both hands Crl.The two times recorded at the head and foot of the statement are discrepant, inasmuch as the commencement, and conclusion, of the statement are both shown to have taken place at 11:45 AM whereas, as per PW-11, the recording of the statement took 10 to 15 minutes.No positive evidence, medical or otherwise, is forthcoming, to indicate that it was possible for Asma to affix her thumb impressions on the statement.In fact, Dr. Brijesh Singh (PW-19), too, in his examination-in-chief, admitted that Asma had suffered superficial to deep burns on both hands, forearms and Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 27 of 36 forehead.The MLC of Asma also reflects the said position, which stands further fortified by the post-mortem report of Asma (Ex PW- 5/A), which clearly opined that Asma had sustained 80% burns with dermo-epidermal injuries covering the whole body.Even more significantly, Dr. Manoj Dhingra (PW-5), who had prepared the said report, testified, in cross examination, that Asma had burns on her hands and fingers in a "degloving manner", which, he explained, meant that the skin had peeled off.The probability of Asma having been in a position to affix her thumb impression on her statement is, therefore, remote and, at the very least, highly questionable.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 27 of 36That apart, there is no real disconsonance, between the deposition of PW-3 before, and after, lunch.The statement of Mohd Yakub (PW-7) was, for its part, recorded at one continuous stretch, so that no allegation of tutoring could, at any rate, be levelled against him.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 29 of 36It is, moreover, a conceded factual position that, on 23rd June 2011, the appellant did visit Asmas parents, with Asma, stating that he wanted to reside with them, as he had quarrelled with his folks.It also appears, from the statement of Mohd Yakub (PW-7) that the appellant and Asma were proceeding together to attend a wedding.These facts - which are not traversed or controverted by the prosecution - are completely incompatible with the allegation, contained in the "dying declaration" of Asma, that she had frequent quarrels with the appellant, or that the appellant and his family members were harassing her for dowry.It is, moreover, difficult to accept that the appellant who, on 23rd June 2011, was ready to leave his house and stay with Asmas parents, only because he had quarrelled with his family members could, 3 days thereafter, be so murderously inclined, against his wife Asma, as to set her on fire.The assertion, by PW-7, to the effect that the appellant had informed him that he had come, with Asma, to attend to a wedding, would also indicate that there was no want of cordiality in the relations between Asma and the appellant.The statement of PW-10 Mohd Ahmed - who was a neighbour of the appellant and could not, therefore, be said to be "interested" in any manner - also exculpates the appellant, as he has stated, categorically, that Asma had accidentally caught fire while cooking, and that the appellant, who had tried to save Asma, had burnt his hands in the process.This assertion, which was first given in Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 30 of 36 examination-in-chief, was repeated in cross-examination, and the suggestion that he had deposed falsely was emphatically denied.He also asserted that he had never, at any point of time, seen any quarrel between Asma and the appellant.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 30 of 36Adverting, now, to the initial statements recorded from Sahida (PW-3) and Mohd Yakub (PW-7), a reading of the said statement discloses that they make no allegations, either against the appellant or his family members, except for a suggestion, at the conclusion of the said statements, that they were responsible for Asmas death.The basis, for the appellants parents harbouring such a view, is not forthcoming from the said statements.Rather, a holistic reading of the statements, especially that of Mohd Yakub (PW-7), would go to indicate that the reluctance, on their part, to send Asma with the appellant was not because they feared that she would be ill-treated by her in-laws, but because they had doubts about whether the appellant, on his own, could look after her and bear her responsibility.The appellant was, therefore, requested to bring his parents to meet them only so that they could be reassured that the responsibility of Asmas well-being would be accepted by the appellants parents and other family members.Significantly, on the appellants brother-in-law Shakir agreeing to take on the said responsibility, Asmas parents readily and willingly agreed to send her with the appellant.Such a course of action is entirely incompatible with the theory, sought to be advanced by the prosecution, that there was discord between Asma and the family members of the appellant, and that she was repeatedly Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 31 of 36 being ill treated by her husband and his family.Significantly, there is nothing to indicate that Asma ever hesitated in going with the appellant and his family, which would have been the natural reaction, if she had, as her "dying declaration" purports to allege, been subjected to repeated ill-treatment, taunts and abuse by the appellant and his family members.The initial statements, recorded from Asmas parents, i.e. Sahida (PW-3) and Mohd Yakub (PW-7), too, therefore, do not advance the case of the prosecution at all.The mere apprehension, expressed at the conclusion of the said statements, that the appellant and his family members were responsible for the mishap, cannot, in our opinion, render the statements as inculpatory, qua the appellant, in any manner.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 31 of 36There is nothing, either in the examination-in-chief, or in the cross examination, of Shahida, or Mohd Yakub, to even remotely hint at any ill-treatment, by the appellant or by his parents, of Asma, after their marriage.Moreover, the fact that the appellant also sustained superficial to deep burns would also indicate that he intervened after Asma had caught fire which, read with the testimony of PW-10 Mohd Ahmed supra, would appear to be in an effort to save her.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 32 of 36The assumption, by the learned ASJ, that the presence of the smell of kerosene, on and around Asma, would indicate that kerosene had been poured on her is, in our considered view, far-fetched and entirely hypothetical in nature.Kerosene would be bound to be present on the clothes of a person who caught fire while cooking food using a kerosene stove, and the presence of the smell of kerosene, therefore, could hardly be attributed to an attempt, by anyone, to have set her ablaze by pouring kerosene on her.Rather, the fact that the clothes of Asma were also found to contain kerosene, could equally indicate that kerosene had spilled on her clothes, while she was cooking, resulting in her unfortunately being set ablaze.Indeed, it is impossible to comprehend how, in a case where a person cooking food using a kerosene stove, accidentally catches fire, kerosene would be expected not to be present on her clothes.This is a case in which, after recording the initial statements of Sahida (PW-3) and Mohd Yakub (PW-7) under Section 161 of the Cr PC, the prosecution, inexplicably, decided to completely cool its heels.There has not been the remotest effort to obtain any other evidence which could be said to incriminate the appellant.P.C, as also before the learned ASJ, they were never questioned regarding the relations of Asma, either with the appellant or with her in-laws.Rather, the one neighbour who was so questioned, i.e. Mohd Ahmed (PW-10) has come forward with the clear statement Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 33 of 36 that he had never witnessed any quarrel between Asma and her husband at any point of time and that, as a matter of fact, Asma had caught fire while cooking food and the appellant had sustained injuries in his efforts to save.Thus guided, we are unable to discern any justification for holding the appellant guilty of murdering his wife Asma, in cold blood, just 2 to 3 days after he had gone with her, to her parents, wanting to stay with them.We are inclined, rather, to believe the possibility that Asma caught fire accidentally while cooking food, and that the burn injuries sustained by the appellant were also attributable to his having tried to save her.In the absence of any supportive corroborative evidence, and given the evidence to the contrary, we are fully convinced that, on the sole basis of the alleged "dying declaration" of Asma, it would be a travesty of justice if the appellant were to be held guilty of having committed her murder, and sentenced therefor.It is well settled, in law, that, unless all circumstances incontrovertibly point towards the guilt of the accused, and are entirely incompatible with his innocence, the scales must tilt in favour of the accused, rather than against him.We are, therefore, unable to concur with the findings of the learned ASJ, to the effect that the appellant was guilty of having committed the offence of murdering his wife Asma, and was, therefore, liable to be prosecuted under section 302 of the IPC.Resultantly, we set-aside the impugned judgement, dated 12 th April 2013, convicting the appellant under section 302 of the IPC, as Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 35 of 36 well as the subsequent order, dated 26th April 2013, sentencing him to rigorous imprisonment for life therefor.

No.6411/2015 20/8/2015 Shri Aniket Naik, learned Counsel for the applicant/State.Counsel for the applicant has prayed for grant of time to file an application for condonation of delay.He submitted that the present petition is barred by only a single day.In view of the above, the delay is hereby condoned and the present petition is taken up for hearing.Briefly stated; the facts of the prosecution case are that the land of complainant Jagdish and his elder brother Moolchandra was adjacent and in between the 31 land there was a Babool tree and its root came into the field.On 17/5/2015 when Jagdish was cutting the roots of the Babool tree, Moolchandra, the elder brother of Jagdish, along with his nephew Gangaram and Prakash started hurling filthy abuses at him.On being asked to stop abusing, accused Moolchandra snatched the axe from him and assaulted him on the right hand.Accused Prakash and Gangaram assaulted the complainant with lathi.One Pappu and Mangilal intervened to pacify the matter.The complainant reported the matter at police station Ringnod.Crime was registered at No.89/05 for offence under Sections 294, 323/34 and 506 of the IPC.The investigation was launched and the accused persons were arrested and the offence was registered against the accused and they were duly committed to their trial.The accused abjured their guilt and they stated that they have been falsely implicated in the matter.On considering the evidence, the Trial Court has convicted the accused Moolchandra for offence 32 under Section 294, 324 & 506/34 of the IPC.However, the trial Court has acquitted the respondents/accused Prakash and Gangaram from the offence as hereinabove stated.Being aggrieved, the applicant/State has filed the present application for grant of leave to file appeal.Counsel for the applicant/State has urged the fact that there was ample evidence available on record, despite which the trial Court had erred in acquitting the respondents/accused.Counsel submitted that the trial Court had ignored the testimony of P.W.4 Tejsingh, who has supported prosecution case.In the testimony of P.W.2 Dr. Arvind Verma, Medical Officer, Government hospital, Jaora, he has stated that on the examination of the complainant it was found that as per injury No.1 there was a contusion of 6 x 2 cm on his thigh, injury No.2 was scratch 4 x 1.5 cm on the paw of left leg and injury No.3 was a lacerated wound 1.5 x 3 cm on the back side of the right upper arm and 33 the injuries were caused by hard and blunt object.The injuries No.1 & 2 were simple in nature, however, for the injury No.3 the doctor advised for X-ray.And under these circumstances there was no need to disbelieve the evidence.Hence, Counsel prayed that the application for leave to file appeal be allowed.On considering the above submissions, I find that the lower Court had scrutinized the evidence available on record and the impugned judgement is impeccable and it does not call for any interference.The submissions put forth by the Counsel for the applicant State are without substance, primarily because, the prosecution hopelessly failed to prove its case.The presence of the accused respondents in the place of occurrence has been doubted which the prosecution has failed to dispel.According to paragraph 20 of the impugned judgement the lower Court has categorically observed that complainant Jagdish in his cross- examination admitted that accused respondent 34 Moolchand was alone at the time of cutting the root of Babool tree and accused respondents Prakash and Gangaram were not present at the place of occurrence.Similarly, it has been stated by D.W. Rukhnath that the accused Moolchandra was working in his field and after the complainant Jagdish fell on the tree before accused respondents Prakash and Gangaram had come there.Thus, the presence of these accused respondents at the place and time of occurrence is doubtful.Similarly, the nature of injuries sustained by the complainant is concerned, except a single injury sustained by the complainant on his leg, all the other injuries are simple in nature.Moreover, the dispute pertains to agricultural land between the related parties, which has been admitted in paragraph 18 of the impugned judgment of the lower Court.Enmity is a double edged sword and the defence of the accused cannot be dispelled.And hence, the lower Courts had rightly acquitted the accused respondents.There was 35 no sufficient evidence on record for the conviction of the accused respondents.The evidence in order to sustain conviction must be unshakable and consistent with the hypothesis of the guilt of the accused.I have no hesitation in concurring with the findings recorded by the trial Court.The application is without merit and hence the leave to file appeal is rejected and there, the present M.Cr.C.is dismissed as such.as per rules.Besides, in view of the above, it is also directed that till then no coercive action be taken against the appellant by the executing Court and needless to say the executing Court shall also take into consideration the accident of the appellant on humanitarian ground.as per rules.(Mrs. S.R.

Mamta Shandilya, learned Counsel for the 124 respondent/State.Shri P.V. Bhagwat and Shri Prakash Shrivas, learned Counsel for the objector.Both these applications are taken up together since they arise out of the same cause of action and same crime number registered at same police station Vijay Nagar, Indore.By these applications under Section 438 of the Cr.P.C., applicants Sanjeev s/o Kaidarnath Dhody and Arjun s/o Babulal Choudhary respectively have moved the application for grant of anticipatory bail being implicated in Crime No.1254/2014 registered at police station Vijay Nagar, Indore for offence under Sections 420, 467, 468, 474, 465 and 120-B of the IPC.Counsel for the applicants has vehemently urged the fact it was a case of false implication.Counsel submitted that the case is civil in nature, despite which the prosecution is bent on giving it a criminal colour.Counsel submitted that applicant Sanjeev is the 125 promoted Director of M/s Silver Oak India Ltd. and he is the owner of 65% of the shares.Counsel submitted that the allegation against the applicants is that they have appointed five other persons as Directors of the company and including their names in the company register and uploading the same in the Internet and causing loss to complainant Bhupendra Singh and Bhupendra Singh states that he has never given his consent as a Director; whereas Counsel submitted that complainant Bhupendra Singh is not a Director of the Company and he has no right to challenge the application.Moreover, Counsel submitted that the applicants have been falsely implicated in the offence by the complainant and the applicants have full chance of success in the trial.Counsel further submitted that the applicants are reputed businessmen of Indore and they would face social ostracism and embarrassment, if they are arrested.Hence, Counsel prayed for grant of anticipatory bail.Both Counsel for the respondent/State and the objector have opposed the submissions put forth by the Counsel for the applicants and submitted that the applicants were fully involved in the matter.Counsel submitted that there is one other case registered against applicant Sanjeev Dhody and there was grave allegation against both of them regarding forgery.Hence, Counsel submitted that the applicants did not deserve any sympathy and prayed for dismissal of the application.At this juncture, Counsel for the applicants submitted that co-accused Himanshu has been granted time to surrender by this Court in M.Cr.C. No.6763/2015 and the present applicants would be satisfied, if such a direction is given in this matter also.On considering the above submissions and looking to the nature of allegations, I find that it is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail.However, in the interest of justice and on the grounds of parity 127 alone, the applicants are better advised to surrender themselves before the competent Court, Counsel for the applicants have expressed apprehension that the applicants are likely to be arrested immediately.In view of the above, the applications are partly allowed to the extent that the applicants shall surrender themselves within a period of four weeks from today i.e. on or before 16/09/2015 before the Competent Court and if the applicants shall file an application for regular bail before the Competent Court within the said period then the application shall be considered on the same day on its presentation, in accordance with law.I would like to make it abundantly clear that the application for regular bail shall be considered on its own merits by the trial Court.It is also directed that till then the applicants shall not be apprehended or arrested.In case of failure to do so within the said period and the applicants shall be arrested in accordance with the provisions of law without 128 reference to this Court.With these directions, the application is disposed of.Original order be retained in the record of M.Cr.C. No.6765/2015 and a copy thereof be placed in the record of M.Cr.C. No.7009/2015 17/8/2015 In view of the detailed order passed by me today in M.Cr.C.No.6765/2015, this M.Cr.C.stands disposed of.A copy of the main order be retained in this File.By this application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C., applicant Raghuvirsingh has moved the application for grant of bail being implicated in criminal case No.452/13 registered by police station Industrial Area for offence under Sections 8/15 and 29 of the NDPS Act.Counsel for the applicant has vehemently urged that co-accused Hakem Khan has been granted bail by this Court in M.Cr.C. No.1857/2015 and hence he prayed that on the grounds of parity also the applicant is entitled to grant of bail.Counsel for the respondent has vehemently opposed the submissions put forth by the Counsel for the applicant and submitted that the parity cannot be 131 claimed as a matter of right.More so, Counsel submitted that there is single case for offence registered under Section 354 and 336 of the IPC and under Section 25 of the Arms Act against the present applicant.She further submitted that huge quantity of contraband has been seized from the possession of the present applicant and applicant is supposed to be a supplier of the contraband.Hence, Counsel prayed for dismissal of the application.On considering the above submissions and the fact that a huge quantity of contraband has been seized and the offence is grievous in nature, I find that it is not a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant even if bail has been granted to the co-accused and parity cannot be claimed as a matter of right.This M.Cr.(Mrs.S.R.Waghmare) Judge moni 132 M.Cr.C.No.5172/2015 17/8/2015 Shri Avinash Sirpurkar, learned Counsel for the applicant.Smt.

Dave, learned Counsel for the applicant.Smt. Mamta Shandilya, learned Govt.

Medical College, Indore to provide proper medical treatment to the petitioner.Today also the case has been vehemently argued for admission.On perusing the report by Shri Vipin Kumar Maheshwari, Inspector General of Police, Indore Zone, Indore dated 13/1/2015, it is found that he has also noted several irregularities, lacuna and lapses on the part of the Police Officers and the petitioner has 137 become disabled after the incident and several irregularities that had occurred during the investigation have been pointed out by the report.In view of the above, I find that the petition is required to be admitted for final hearing.There are several I.As.pending consideration.The first I.A.No.2844/2014 dated 7/5/2014 is taken up for consideration.By this application, Counsel for the petitioner has urged that even today the petitioner is not being provided proper medical treatment.Counsel urged that at least compensation be awarded by the State Government to enable the petitioner to take proper medical treatment.At this juncture, Counsel for respondents/State Ms. Mini Ravindran has submitted that such compensation is not available nor directed by the Court.However, on considering the above, I find the 138 Dean, M.G.M. College, Indore has already been directed as above on 11/12/2014 that the petitioner could approach the Dean,MGM, College, Indore.Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the Government hospital does not provide proper facility.Considering the above, submissions, the application is partly allowed.It is directed that the respondents/State Government/concerned Police Officers to see that the M.G.M.College, Indore and M.Y. Hospital,Indore shall provide proper medical treatment to the petitioner free of cost; primarily because it is only in the said medical college and also at M.Y. Hospital, Indore that the petitioner shall be able to avail such a good facility; considering the improvements that have been made recently at M.Y. hospital, Indore.In this light, the respondents concerned are directed to see that the case of the petitioner is properly recommended for proper medical treatment in 139 the M.G.M.College, Indore as well as M.Y. Hospital, Indore, as directed above.In view of the above, this application is partly allowed.List for consideration of the other I.As.after three weeks.as per rules.(Mrs.S.R.Waghmare) Judge moni 140 W.P.

No.4338/2015 pertains to civil suit No.6-A/15 and W.P.

Waghmare) Judge moni 250 Second Appeal No.324/2011 Order passed on I.A. No.5060/2015 11/8/2015 By this application, appellant Kimtilal Jain is seeking for permission for repairing of the disputed property.Counsel for the appellant has submitted that the disputed property i.e house No. 95, Mahavir Nagar, Indore is in a dilapidated condition.Due to rainy season the water is logging in the passages and due to unprecedented rain on 21/6/2015 the parapet of the first floor had broken down and fell on the ground floor and it has become dangerous to human life and the property.On 24/1/2015 when the appellant was showing the property to the engineer for carrying out repair work, the respondent No.10 Nirdosh Kumar started quarreling with the appellant and threatened him and warned the appellant not to undertake any 251 repair work.And hence the appellant has moved an application before this Court and photographs of the recent position of the disputed property are also filed along with the application.Counsel submitted that an application has also been moved before the trial Court for seeking repair, but the same was disposed of with the direction that since the matter was pending before this High Court the order should be sought from the same.Hence, Counsel prayed that the application be allowed and the appellant is willing to bear the cost and repairs and to abide by any condition that may be imposed by this Court and also in case of failure of this appeal, the appellant will not claim any compensation.Counsel vehemently urged that it was utmost priority to carry out the repair work and hence the application be allowed.Counsel for the respondents, per contra, has opposed the submissions put forth by the Counsel for the appellant and submitted that the application was 252 without merit; primarily because it was prima facie proved by the photo that the parapet wall was broken by the appellant himself and he has put forth a different story for sympathy whereas the appellant has deliberately broken the parapet wall with an intention of creating a new situation in the garb of repairing the parapet wall.Besides more importantly Counsel opposed the construction stating that the answering respondent would be prevented to use the washroom/toilets constructed in back side of the disputed house.However, when the respondent stopped the appellant from making the construction, he quarreled with the respondent and hence the respondent has moved an application for grant of temporary injunction before trial Court.Although the application was rejected by the trial Court, the appellate Court was pleased to restrain the appellant from interalia changing the nature of the disputed property.Counsel also urged 253 that the appellant was further restrained from obstructing the path of the answering respondent to the wash rooms constructed in the back side of the disputed house.Hence Counsel prayed for dismissal of the application.On considering the above submissions and considering the evidence on record, I find that any relief granted to the appellant would amount to affecting the merits of the case.Besides too many disputed facts have been raised by both the parties.Counsel for the appellant has vehemently submitted that further construction would be required and he is willing to remove the construction if the respondent is found to be incorrect and loses the appeal.Considering the said submissions, I find that the application cannot be allowed at this stage and it creates further complications and multiplicity of proceedings and right of both parties are likely to be 254 affected.In this light, this application is dismissed as such.as per rules.(Mrs. S.R. Waghmare) Judge moni 255 W.P. No.5091/2014(O) 04/08/2015 Shri J.B. Dave, learned Counsel for the petitioners.Shri S.K. Chourasiya, learned Counsel for the respondent.Briefly stated the facts of the case, Counsel for the petitioner has vehemently urged that the respondent, was not noticed regarding the application moved for conducting the suit as an indigent person.The impugned order, permitting the plaintiff to sue as an indigent person, was passed without giving sufficient opportunity of hearing to the petitioners/respondents.The petitioners Raju Kaushal and Shashi Kaushal, are the younger brothers of Yashpal Kaushal, who died early, and the present respondent Smt. Sumitra Bai is the widow of Yashpal Kaushal.The petitioners were living on rental basis in these two rooms and on the death of Yashpal Kaushal, Smt. Sumitra, the present respondent took over the house and being the close legal heirs the petitioners/respondents Raju Kaushal and Shashi Kaushal were paying Rs.1,000/- and Rs.2,000/- per month respectively.Subsequently due to irregularities in payment of the rent respondent Smt. Sumitra asked them to vacate the premises.Hence, plaintiff Smt. Sumitra did not wish to continue their tenancy.She also stated that the rent of Rs.3,000/- per month, which was paid to her husband Yashpal Kaushal, is stopped by the petitioners/respondents.However, on the presentation of the plaint, the plaintiff has also stated that she is a widow lady and there is no income for her livelihood and hence she prayed for exemption from payment of the Court fee on the basis of the M.P. State Government Notification No.9-1-93-B-21 dated 1/4/1983, according to which any female person earning less than Rs.6,000/-per year is exempted from payment of the Court fee.Counsel however, urged the fact that no application has been moved by the plaintiff to sue an indigent person despite the order of exemption from payment of court fee.Counsel submitted that misstatement has been made by the plaintiff that the plaintiff is an indigent person.A report is not being called and straightway the plaintiff has been allowed to sue an indigent person.Counsel 258 submitted that such an order is contrary to the provisions of law which requires at least preliminary enquiry be held and it should be considered that whether the plaintiff was an indigent person, but nothing has been done.Counsel prayed that the provisions of Order 33 Rule 1 of the CPC have not been complied with, despite objection, by the petitioners/respondents and the impugned order has been passed.The certificate of the Tehsildar relied on by the plaintiff as well as the Trial Court was not very reliable and no opportunity of cross-objection has been given to the present petitioners/respondents.Hence, Counsel prayed that the impugned order be set aside.Plaintiff belonging to one of the categories mentioned in the Notification is required to present the plaint by making such a declaration in the plaint itself for grant of exemption and need not file the suit as indigent person along with application seeking exemption from payment of Court fees."Hence, Counsel prayed for dismissal of the petition.On considering the above submissions, I find that the single question for adjudication as whether the impugned order is correctly discarded the objection of the present petitioners regarding the plaintiff not having fulfilled the provisions of Order 33 Rule 1 of the CPC as to sue an indigent person? I find that the contention of the Counsel for the petitioners is contrary to the facts of the case.The application did not call to sue as an indigent person, but the applicant 261 claims for exemption from court fees as per the Notification dated 4/1/1983 and proper certificate of the Tehsildar has been filed.In view of the above, I find that the pleas of the petitioners are way off the question in hand.The order passed by the Trial Court is in accordance with Section 35 of the Court Fees Act and the Notification issued by the State Government.Besides, there is also competent certificate of the Tehsildar regarding the earning capacity of the plaintiff being below Rs.6,000/- per year and this light also the order does not call for any interference.With the aforesaid observations, the present petition is dismissed as without merit.C.c.as per rules.(Mrs. S.R. Waghmare) Judge moni 262 W.P.No.8549/2014 05/8/2015 Shri Manoj Manav, learned Counsel for the petitioners.Ms. Mini Ravindran, learned Dy.Advocate for the respondent No.9/State.By this petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioners are aggrieved by the order dated 26/9/2014 passed by the First Additional District Judge, Dewas granting injunction in favour of the plaintiffs and restrained the petitioners/defendants to enter into the property.Briefly stated the facts of the case are that the petitioners/respondents are the local residents of Dewas district and a Civil Suit was filed before the Civil Judge Class-II, Dewas for declaration and permanent injunction in respect the land and house situated in survey No.529 and 540 area 1.02 hectares and 0.30 hectares respectively.The land in question was owned by their predecessor in title of both the petitioners and the respondents.The petitioners had filed a written reply to the inunction application.That by order dated 6/8/2014 the Trial Court has dismissed the application with a specific finding of plea of adverse possession is not applicable against the co-owner of the property, because in second application, the respondents have taken the plea of adverse possession.Besides, the names of the 265 petitioners as well as the respondents were jointly recorded in the revenue records and hence, it cannot be said that the respondents are the absolute owner of the property in question.The revenue records also clearly negated the name of the petitioners that they were the co-owners of the property.Besides, the plea of the present petitioners was not considered.The impugned order dated 26.9.2014 is hereby set aside.Needless to say that it is directed that both the parties shall not alienate the property further and status-quo regarding the property as it exists today shall be maintained by both the parties; till the decision of the application afresh; by the trial Court on the ground of possession within a period of three months from today.With the aforesaid observations and directions, the present petition is disposed of.as per rules.(Mrs.S.R.Waghmare) Judge moni W.P.

Devlond, Tahsil Beohari, District Shahdol under sections 294, 323, 506/34 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code.As per the prosecution case, at about 06:00 a.m. on 03.03.2017 petitioner Manti Kushwaha was sweeping her house and pushing the trash towards the house of complainant Mamta.When the complainant protested, the petitioner started to hurl filthy abuses at her.At that time Kashinath Kushwaha, husband of petitioner Manti came out, armed with a stick and started to beat complainant Mamta.Mamta's husband Praveen interceded on behalf of his wife; whereon, Manti's son Ramlakhan armed with an axe arrived and assaulted Praveen.Thereafter, Jammu Bai, Kodu and Anchal etc. intervened in the matter.The First Information Report was lodged under Sections 323, 294 and 506 read with Section 34 of the IPC, however, three days later i.e. 06.03.2017 Praveen succumbed to his injuries; therefore, an offence under Section 302 of the IPC has registered.Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the role that has been ascribed to petitioner Manti is limited to hurling filthy abuses at complainant Mamta.That apart, no act on the spot has been attributed to her.The incident arose out of trivial altercation.Therefore, it has been prayed that petitioner be released on bail.Learned panel lawyer for the respondent/State on the other hand has opposed the application.Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case in their entirety, particularly the nature of incident and the role ascribed therein to the petitioner, in the opinion of this Court the petitioner is entitled to be released on bail.Consequently, this first application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on behalf of petitioner Manti Kushwaha, is allowed.It is directed that the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 80,000/- with one solvent surety in the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for her appearance before that Court on all dates fixed in the case and for complying with the conditions enumerated under Section 437 (3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.Certified Copy as per rules.(C V SIRPURKAR) JUDGE taj

The Deputy Superintendent of Police, SPE/CBI/ACD, Chennai. ... Respondent/Complainant in Crl.The period of imprisonment already undergone shall be set off under section 428 of Cr.P.C.The charge against the appellant is that A1[Rakesh Malhothra], while working as Senior Manager in Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road, Chennai entered into criminal conspricy with A2 [V.Ganesh] to do illegal act viz., to cheat the Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road, Chennai and to commit criminal misconduct.In pursuant to the conspiracy A2 [V.Ganesh] opened Current accounts in Oriental Bank of Commerce in the name of M/s.Golden Harvest Trading Corporation, Chennai and M/s.Super Capital Marketers and Associates on 15.06.1992 and 22.07.1992 respectively.In his capacity as the branch Manager, these two accounts were introduced by the Rakesh Malhothra [A1].On 21.12.1992 V.Ganesh [A2] presented a conditional letter of credit bearing No.DPC-OCB-205864 dated 11.12.1992 for US $ 2 Million by M/s. Global Trade Insurance and Management Pvt.Ltd, Singapore with Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road, Chennai drawn at Hong Kong and Shangai Banking Corporation, Singapore.The condition on the letter of Credit was that M/s. Super Capital Marketers and Associates was to comply the requirements of the conditions of the transaction viz., M/s. Super Capital Marketers and Associates should open a back to back Letter of Credit in favour of M/s. Global Trade Insurance for US $ Rs.2.84 million.Pursuant to the conspiracy [A1] Rakesh Malhothra knowing fully well that the documents presented by A2 [V.Ganesh] were incomplete without the condition of Letter of credit by M/s. Super Capital Marketers and Associates, however Suppressing the fact had forwarded the application to the Regional Manager with recommendation for discounting the Letter of Credit.In view of the recommendation made by A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] the Regional Manager had permitted the LC discount facility to M/s.Super Capital Marketers and Associates, on condition, the bill should be discounted only after the bank get confirmation from the Hong Kong and Shangai Banking, Singapore and acceptance to the effect that the bills should be paid on due date.The HSBC Singapore on 08.01.1993 conveyed its conditional acceptance of the documents subject to the confirmation of M/s. Super Capital Marketers and Associates opening an irrevocable letter of Credit within 30 days acceptable to M/s. Global Trade Insurance, Singapore.Without complying the requirement stipulated by Regional Office, A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] Branch Manager had released a sum of Rs.5,41,95,655/- into the account of M/s.Golden Harvest Trading Corporation owned by A2[V.Ganesh].To mislead Hong Kong and Shangai Banking, Singapore, without any authorization A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] had sent two Telex messages to Hong Kong and Shangai Banking, Singapore on 21.01.1993 and 27.01.1993 stating that M/s.Super Capital Marketers and Associates, Chennai would open an LC for US $ 2.84 Million Dollars favouring M/s. Global Trade Insurance, Singapore after 180 days.Induced by the said messages Hong Kong and Shangai Banking, Singapore had in turn conveyed the conditional acceptance of the documents.He has identified the Ex.P.2, the Telex to Mount Road Branch in which A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] was Senior Branch Manager.Along with the invoice a request for negotiating the document is given by A2 [V.Ganesh].He had also executed the bill of exchange on the same day.The said bill of exchange is marked as Ex.The said covering letter which is marked as Ex.P.14 indicates that Overseas Branch has requested HSBC Singapore to remit the proceedings in their International Account No.41-143156-1121 with the Bank of California International New York, USA.On the part of A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] as Branch Manager of Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road Branch, Chennai on presentation of LC by A2 [V.Ganesh] had duly forwarded the same to the Overseas Branch disclosing all the facts including non-enclosure of 'applicant certificate'.Admittedly, he had enquired with HSBC Bank at Singapore about the credit worthiness of M/s. Gobal Trade Insurance Management Private Limited, Singapore and in response to his letter which is marked as Ex.P.15, the HSBC Bank, Singapore has forwarded the confidential report about the credit worthiness of M/s.P.19, Ex.P.20, Ex.P.8 dated 21.12.1992, the words, will be received by you directly, written in hand after, 'Applicants certificate' issued through issuing bank via tested Telex to your good selves found in Ex.In this letter A2 [V.Ganesh] has stated that he has complied all the request and enclosed the application form for the necessary Foreign Uses Documentary Bills Purchase Limited [FUDBP].When the request [FUDBPL] from the customer namely A2 [V.Ganesh] was received by the A1 [Rakesh Malkothra] only on 04.01.1993, surprisingly A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] through Ex.P.18 has recommended for extending the facility to A2 firm on 13.12.1992 itself.Further, in the letter of 2nd accused dated 04.01.1993 addressed to A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] the accused [A2] has specifically stated that he has submitted all the documents required for ILC bill to A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] for negotiating the ILC Bills.This statement of A2 [V.Ganesh] found in his letter addressed to A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] is apparently a false statement.Since, A2 [V.Ganesh] had never produced any applicant certificate which is very essential for completing the formality of honouring the Letter of Credit to HSBC, Singapore his assertion in Ex.P.25 has mislead the Bank.A-1 who as Branch Manager though had knowledge about the falsehood found in Ex.P.25 did not care to alert the Regional Bank for obvious reason.From this point onwards it would been seen that despite non production of applicant certificate, A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] has recommended for extending the ILC bill purchase facility.A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] had recommended even before formal request made by A2 [V.Ganesh].This conduct of A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] favouring A2 [V.Ganesh] indicates that there is element of indiscretion and excessive exercise of power and not mere error of judgment.On perusing the Ex.P.30, this Court finds that HSBC, Singapore through its telex Message dated 06.01.1992 had informed the Oriental bank of Commerce, Mount Road Branch that the documents forwarded in connection with the LC containing following discrepancy. Applicant's Certificate issued through issuing Bank to advising Bank confirming compliance fulfilment of terms not presented.With the above said modification the Criminal Appeal Nos.91 & 5 of 2007 are disposed of.The appellants herein are directed to surrender before the Trial Court within a period of 30 days, failing which the Trial court shall execute the warrant and secure the appellants to under the remaining period of sentence.21.02.2018Index:yes/noInternet:yes/nobsmToThe Inspector of Police, Special Police Establishment, Central Bureau of Investigation, Anti-Corruption Branch, Chennai..A.No.5 of 2007A.Nos.5 & 91 of 2007: Criminal Appeals are filed under Section 374(2) of Criminal Procedure Code, to set aside the order of conviction and sentence passed in C.C.No.58 of 2000, dated 29.12.2006 on the file of the learned Additional Special Judge for CBI Cases, Chennai.In pursuant to the conspiracy to cheat the bank a sum of Rs.4.6 crores was released to the demand loan account of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation owned by A2 [V.Ganesh] by A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] before acceptance of documents and without any application for the said demand loan from A2 [V.Ganesh].This loan amount was released on 09.02.1993, later transferred to M/s. Ispat Profiles India Limited to which A2 [V.Ganesh] owned a sum of Rs.1,55,71,000/- later the HSBC Singapore, refused the payment on the LC due to non compliance of condition.Thus knowing fully well A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] and A2 [V.Ganesh] pursuant to their conspiracy to cheat, they have made to believe the Oriental bank of Commerce, Chennai that the LC of Rs.2 Million USD is accepted and confirmed by Hong Kong and Shangai Banking, Singapore and siphoned a sum of Rs.5,41,95,655/- thereby committed offence of conspiracy, cheating, and misconduct by a public servant.Finding of the trial Court and the defence put forth by the appellants:-Based on the reliable information, C.B.I has registered the First Information Report which is marked as Ex.P.57 on 23.03.1995 and taken up the investigation.On completion of investigation, final report has been laid against [A1] Rakesh Malhothra, Senior Manager, Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road Chennai and [A2] V.Ganesh, proprietor of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation.To prove the charge of conspiracy and cheating as against both the accused and misconduct of public servant against A1, the prosecution as examined 11 witnesses, 65 Exhibits were marked on behalf of the prosecution.Before the Trial Court while the prosecution canvassing the case of conspiracy and cheating relied upon the documents and evidence let in by them to prove A1 being the Senior Manager of Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road Branch, Chennai between 1991 to 1995 in connivance with A2 [V.Ganesh], Proprietor of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation and M/s. Super Capital Marketing Association in connection with the service charges payable to M/s. Super Capital Marketer and Associates, M/s. Global Trader Insurance and Management Private Limited, Singapore opened conditional letter of credit for 2 million US Dollars on 11.12.1992 with Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road Branch, Chennai in favour of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation through HSBC Banking Corporation, Singapore.The letter of credit was opened with condition that M/s. Super Capital Marketer and Associates should open back to back LC in favour of Global Trader Insurance and Management Private Limited for 2.84 US Million Dollars.The requirement that certified issued by Global Trader Insurance and Management Private Limited, Singapore through HSBC Banking and Corporation, Singapore viz., tested telex by oriental Bank of Commerce, Mount Road branch, Chennai though not received, when the conditional LC was received at Oriental Bank of Commerce, Chennai, A1 and A2 conspired together to credit the amount without fulfilling the conditions and with dishonest intention to cheat the bank with draw the same.In defence, the learned counsel appearing for the 1st appellant would contend that the amount was transfer to M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation only after the approval of the Regional Office and Overseas Branch, hence he has not committed any offence.As far as A2 [V.Ganesh] is concerned he had canvassed before the Trial Court that the letter of Credit was opened by consent of parties and same was approved and confirmed by HSBC, Singapore.Later, they refused to honour their commitment leading to default in payment to Oriental Bank of Commerce.For the recovery the debt, the bank has already initiated proceedings before the debt recovery tribunal which is pending.Hence the charge in respect of transferring Rs.4.5 crores in favour of M/s.Ispat Profiles India Limited is unsustainable.12. A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] has relied upon the order of the appellate authority under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act which has been marked as Ex.D.1 to impress upon the Court that the competent authority under the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act has found A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] is not liable for any crime and had acquitted it.While the entire transaction is pure and simple money lending, it is a civil dispute which has been given colour of Criminality.The Trial Court relying upon the letter of A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] dated 30.12.1992 which is marked as Ex.P.18 and the letter of 2nd accused dated 04.01.1993 which is marked as Ex.P.19 has held that A2 [V.Ganesh] falsely written that he has enclosed 'applicant certificate'.On 05.01.1993, the Oriental bank of Commerce has forwarded the advice to bank of California.A day before i.e., on 04.01.1993 M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation [A2] had sent a letter Ex.P.25 to Oriental Bank of Commerce seeking loan with self declaration.Without fulfilling the conditions of LC.[A1] has recommended discount of LC in order to help A2 [V.Ganesh].Though the Regional Office has permitted to discount the LC with condition that it can be discounted only after the acceptance and confirmation from HSBC, Singapore, the LC was discounted without proper acceptance and confirmation.The sanction order of the Regional Office which is marked as Ex.P.45 extracted by the Trial Court and has held that A1 and A2 without complying the condition of LC 11.12.1992, in collusion had issued credit voucher for a sum of Rs.6 crores, after retaining 10% margin deposit money and interest, a sum of Rs.5,41,95,655/- had been credit into the account of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation.The Trial Court has relied upon the evidence PW.3 [R.Krishnamourthy] that he passed Ex.P.1 credit voucher for Rs.5,41,91,655/- under the Telephonic instruction from A1 [Rakesh Malhothra].The letter written by A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] as Senior Manager to the Overseas Branch on 23.03.1993 which is marked as Ex.P.32 wherein, A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] has informed that all the terms and condition had been complied in the matter of bill purchase under LC for sum of Rs. 2 Million USD Dollars.Taking into considering the other evidences as corroboration to the case of the prosecution, the trial Court has held both the accused guilty and convicted them.P.1, credit voucher 08.01.1993 was pursuant to the sanction order accorded by the Regional Office under Ex.In the letter sent to the Overseas Branch, on 23.12.1992, the Mount Road Branch Office has specifically mentioned that 'applicant certificate' is not enclosed and the same will be submitted by the party directly.Only after disclosure of the above fact, the bill was forwarded to Overseas Bank for collection.This letter signed on behalf of Senior Manager [A1] had specifically made clear to the Overseas Bank that 'applicant certificate' is not furnished by the party.Though it was not enclosed along with the bill, the party has given an undertaking that it will be submit directly.Following this letter, [A1] Senior Manager wrote another letter dated 13.12.1992 to the Regional Manager which is marked as Ex.P.18, forwarding fresh proposal of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation for discounting the LC value of Rs.2 Million US dollars which was presented earlier and referred in Ex.In this letter, A1 has specifically mentioned that the proposal to discount the bill will be subject to acceptance of Regional Office.In this letter Senior Manager [A1] has also assigned reason for extending the discount facility to M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation.When a Branch Manager being satisfied about the customer who has deposited a sum of Rs.3.60 crores in the bank and had helped the bank to get FCRN deposit to an extent of Rs.5 crores, in his wisdom had thought the LC presented by the customer for sum of 2 million USD could be purchase, provided the regional office accept the proposal.In the said contest, on 08.01.1993 he had allowed the credit voucher which is marked as Ex.P.1 for a sum of Rs.5,41,95,655/-.Till 09.02.1993 the purchase money of bill discounted was laying in the account of M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation.Had the Regional Office informed him about the Telex Message of HSBC, Banking Corporation dated 06.01.1993 [Ex.P.30] which informs that the 'applicant certificate' issued through issuing bank to advise the bank confirming compliance fulfilment of terms not presented and they refused the document and for time being they hold the documents at their risk and disposal, the branch office could not have discounting the bill and credited the amount in the account of Golden Harvest Trading Corporation.Apart from A1 it is collective responsibility of the banking Officials who had dealt the letter of A1, to exercise due diligence.For the purchase of Bill on receipt of sanction from the Regional Office, unknowing the refusal of HBSC to honour the same, the accused A1 cannot be held criminally liable.The Trial Court without proper appreciation of evidence and the role of A1 in the given circumstances had erroneously held them guilty which requires interference.The HSBC Banking Corporation had all time confirmed its genuineness and also accepted the same.Because the 'applicant certificate' was not enclosed along with the bill, subsequently they have refused to honour the bill.The party likely to be aggrieved in this case is the Oriental Bank of Commerce.The enforcement agency which takes care of Foreign Exchange Regulation had also come to a conclusion that there is no Foreign Exchange violation and had exonerated the persons alleged to have been involved in the subject transaction.In a genuine and bonafide trade transaction.PW-2 has perused the Ex.P.2 on 12.02.1992 and had put his initial and written Test to be authenticated. To know the authenticity of the message, he wanted to confirm the test code through his Bombay office.Therefore, 30.12.1992, the Overseas Branch has sent a message to Bombay Branch to confirm the correctness of the test code.The said communication is marked as Ex.In response to this Communication, the Bombay Branch has informed by way of Telex on 05.01.1993 confirming the Test Code found in LC is correct.The said message of Bombay branch is marked as Ex.This confirmation according to PW.2 was after contacting the HSBC Bank, Singapore and verifying the authenticity of the LC.Before getting the confirmation about the genuineness of the LC from the HSBC, Singapore through the Bombay Branch, the Overseas Bank on the receipt of Ex.P.2, had advice the GHTC on 14.12.1992 that the LC will be processed.In response to the said communication Ex.P.5 dated 14.12.1992, Mount Road Branch has informed the Overseas Branch vide letter dated 23.12.1992 which is marked as Ex.From the Exhibits as well as from the deposition of PW.2 it appears that the branch office at Mount Road Branch while requesting the Overseas Branch to negotiate the bill in dispute had also informed the Overseas Branch that the party has not enclosed applicant certificate which is mandatory for negotiation and also placed on record that the party has promised to submit the applicant certificate directly.This letter is signed by A2 as President of GHTC.It is addressed to Mount Road Branch, Oriental Bank of Commerce.P.9 is invoice of the GHTC raised for the service rendered to M/s.The LC referred in Telex marked as Ex.As its President A2 had given a certificate that M/s.Golden Harvest Trading Corporation had fulfilled the terms and condition in respect of the contract for sale and purchase of scrap metal with M/s. Gobal Trade Insurance Management Private Limited.Being satisfied with the genuineness of these documents namely Ex.P.8, Ex.P.9, Ex.Only after making preliminary enquiry about the credit worthiness of the Oriental bank of Commerce at Singapore and getting confirmation about the genuineness of LC. A1 has sought permission of the Regional Office for purchasing the bill.In his request dated 13.12.1992, he had assigned the reasons for his proposal to purchase the bill.Super Capital Marketers and Associates both firms held by [A2] have deposit to a tune of Rs.3.6 crores and they have helped the bank to get FCRN deposits to the extent of Rs.5 crores is not disputed.A1 has also indicated that he will discount the bill only after acceptance by Overseas Branch.The Zone of suspicion against A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] and A2 [V.Ganesh] commences at this stage.When the negotiation of the bill itself was under process, through Ex.P.18 Letter A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] had expressed his intention to purchase the bill.Though the facility of purchasing International LC was not provided for M/s. Golden Harvest Trading Corporation or to M/s. Super Capital Marketers and Associates, A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] has recommended bills purchase facility for the reason stated in its letter which is marked as Ex.Thereafter, A2 [V.Ganesh] had furnished another set of request letter for negotiating, along with the documents like bill of exchange and invoice which is marked as Ex.In Ex.P.19 dated 04.01.1993 which is the request letter for negotiation, though it is almost same that of the Ex.In accordance with Article 16 of UCP400 We have to refuse the documents at this time, and we hold them at your risks and disposal.However, We will refer the discrepancies to the applicant.In the meantime, please forward your instructions, if any, for attention GUAN quoting our Ref.COL:USD2, 000,000.00=01060604Again on 08.01.1993, another telex Message which is marked as Ex.P.31 had been sent to Oriental bank of Commerce, Mount Road Branch wherein the HSBC Bank, Singapore has informed the Mount Road branch as under: Further to UR Telex Message Dated 05Jan93 Advising you on discrepancies noted on the above documents, applicant advises that documents are accepted subject to acceptable to issuance of confirmed irrevocable letter of credit acceptable to applicant.Opened by Super Capital Marketers and Associates and Received by us (Hongkong and Shanghai and Received by us within 30 days from today.Meanwhile, we hold documents at your disposal.In spite of intimation and discrepancy made known to A1 [Rakesh Malhothra], suppressing the information found in Ex.P.30 and Ex.P.31 had informed the Overseas Branch on 23.01.1993 that HSBC, Singapore had confirmed they have obtained the necessary documents and all the terms and conditions have been complied with.This letter which is marked as Ex.Informing the Regional office that A2 [V.Ganesh] has produced all necessary documents and had complied all terms and condition, in spite of receiving the Telex Message, from HSBC Singapore on 06.01.1993 and 08.01.1993, reporting about non-compliance of condition.In the light of the above discussion this Court holds that the prosecution has proved the case against the A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] and A2 [V.Ganesh] that there was meeting of mind to cheat the Oriental Bank of Commerce by recommending ILC facility knowing full well that the LC offered by A2 [V.Ganesh] has been refused to be hounoured by HSBC, Singapore as early as 06.01.1993 and reinforced through the Telex on 08.01.1993 which are marked as Ex.P.31 and Ex.In spite of his knowledge about these two telex messages, A1 [Rakesh Malhothra] has forwarded the letter Ex.P.31 dated 23.01.1993 to Overseas Branch as if A2 [V.Ganesh] had complied all the terms and condition.Conspiracy normally hatched in secrecy.The act done in pursuant to the conspiracy would be manifestly seen only through the result of the conspiracy.In this case prosecution has proved through evidence that, in spite of restricted permission granted by Regional Office to extend the loan facilities, A1 [Rakesh Malhothra], without compliance of the pre-condition by A2 [V.Ganesh], had extended the loan knowing fully well that A2 [V.Ganesh] has not complied the condition.The manner in which he has recommended for extending the facility even before formal application from A2 [V.Ganesh] and discounting the LC which was refused to be honoured, clearly indicates the intention of cheating and the meeting of mind between A1 and A2 to cheat the bank.In this case the prosecution has projected offence of cheating pursuant to conspiracy.Therefore Ex.Having held that the both the accused are guilty of cheating pursuance to conspiracy.He had abused his power to show undue and illegal pecuniary advantage to A2, which holds him liable for offence under section 13(1)(d) of PC Act punishable under Section 13 (2) of Prevention of Corruption Act.Likewise omission to sentence the offenders for the substantive offence of cheating under Section 420 IPC does no way prejudice the offenders who are the appellants herein.While the prosecution has proved the case of conspiracy to cheat, omission to give separate finding and sentence for the offence of cheating is a curable defect and will not vitiate the trial or the judgment.The Deputy Superintendent of Police, SPE/CBI/ACD, Chennai.The learned Additional Special Judge (CBI), Chennai.The Special Public Prosecutor,(CBI) High Court, Madras.G.Jayachandran,J.BsmPre-delivery judgment made inCriminal Appeal Nos.5 & 91of 200721.02.2018

In case the answer to column No. 20 was in the negative, an affidavit had to be submitted.Under Column No. 21 of the application form, the petitioner was required to furnish any other information.JUDGMENT Saroj Bala, J.The petitioner further seeks a writ in the nature of Mandamus commanding the respondents to revive the letter of appointment dated 10.05.2002 and to permit him to commence business of dealership of petrol/diesel at Ambari, Tehsil Phulpur, District Azamgarh.The factual matrix emerging from the record of the writ petition is as follows:-In pursuance of an advertisement, made sometime in the year 2001 for dealership of retail outlet of petrol/diesel at different places including Ambari, District Azamgarh, the petitioner applied for dealership on the prescribed application form, which accompanied the copy of the brochure.After interview, the respondent Corporation issued a letter of intent dated 6.05.2002 for dealership of retail outlet at Ambari (Annexure-1 to the writ petition) subject to certain conditions.On 10.5.2002 vide letter (Annexure-2 to the writ petition), the petitioner was required to submit an affidavit stating that no criminal proceedings are pending against him in any Court in India and to submit a Character Certificate from not less than S.P. Police.On the same day i.e. May 10, 2002, a letter of appointment for dealership of retail outlet (Annexure-3 to the writ petition) was issued by the Corporation.On 29.05.2002 a show cause notice (Annexure-4 to the writ petition) was issued by the Corporation to the petitioner calling upon him to explain as to why letter of intent dated 6.5.2002 and letter of appointment dated 10.5.2002 be not withdrawn and cancelled for suppression of material information about conviction and sentence in Sessions Trial No. 391 of 1997 under Sections 302/149/148 and 506(ii), I.P.C., P.S. Pawai, District Azamgarh against which a Criminal Appeal No. 843 of 2000, Santosh Kumar Yadav and Ors.v. State of U.P. was preferred before the High Court and the petitioner was released on bail.The petitioner submitted reply to the show cause notice together with an affidavit (Annexures 5 & 6 to the writ petition).The petitioner in the reply admitting his conviction in the aforesaid murder case stated that his involvement in the said offence does not amount to moral turpitude.After taking into consideration the reply of the petitioner, the respondents withdrew the letter of intent and cancelled the letter of appointment on the ground that Column Nos. 20 & 21 of the application form, wherein the petitioner had to make a disclosure about his conviction for any criminal offence, were deliberately and intentionally left blank.In the opinion of the Corporation, the criminal act attributed to the petitioner amounted to moral turpitude.The order of withdrawal of letter of intent and cancellation of letter of appointment have been challenged by the petitioner on the grounds inter alia that conviction for the offence of murder does not fall within the definition of moral turpitude.According to the petitioner the disclosure about the conviction for the offence of murder, was not made by him, as it was not an offence involving moral turpitude.The contention of the petitioner is that his conviction not being for an offence involving moral turpitude, his case does not fall within the purview of Clause 10 of brochure and condition of column 20 of the application form.We have heard Shri Ravi Kant, learned senior Counsel assisted by Shri M.K. Pandey, Advocate on behalf of the petitioner and Shri Prakash Padia, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents.In the result, the writ petition fails and is dismissed with costs which we assess at Rs. 5,000/-.

JUDGMENT Sharief-Ud-Din, J.This appeal has been preferred against the judgment of Mr. S. M. Aggarwal, Additional Sessions Judge, dt. 14th March 1984 convicting the appellant of the offence under S. 302 of the Penal Code and sentencing him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life and to the payment of a sum of Rs. 500/- as fine.In default of payment of fine the appellant was sentenced to undergo further rigorous imprisonment for one year.The facts are few and they are as follows.Complainant in the case is one Kharak Bahadur, resident of Nepal, who on the date of the incident which is, 4th January 1982 was working in Delhi and was residing at E-C, Railway Quarters, Patel Nagar, where Man Singh had come to see him and his nephews Bomb (illegible) Bahadur and Dil Bahadur who were staying with him.The prosecution case is that they left for Kirti Nagar to see one Nar Bahadur working at 9/56 (illegible) Woollen Mills, Kirti Nagar Industrial Area.It is said that when they reached near the Jhuggies (illegible) Crepes Floor Mill, they noticed the appellant Bhavi Ram together with his accomplice Bal Bahadur Rana, a proclaimed offender now and with whom we are not concerned, standing near the Jhuggis.On seeing Kharak Bahadur Bhavi Ram is stated to have called him whereupon he and Dil Bahadur deceased came near him.Man Singh, and Bomb Bahadur remained at a distance.Bhavi Ram is stated to have protested to Kharak Bahadur for having abducted his wife about six months earlier and he expressed a grievance that Kharak Bahadur was persisting in paying visits to his place.Kharak Bahadur thereupon tried to put him off by saying that his wife had voluntarily joined him and that he had sent her back after a couple of days.It is at this stage that the proclaimed offender Bal Bahadur Rana is stated to have caught hold of Kharak Bahadur by his neck and when the deceased Dil Bahadur rushed forward to rescue Kharak Bahadur, the appellant Bhavi Ram is stated to have proclaimed that they would deal with the deceased Dil Bahadur first.Immediately, thereafter he is stated to have dealt two or three blows on the head of Dil Bahadur with a small lathi which he was holding in his right hand.Meanwhile, Bal Bahadur, the proclaimed offender, is said to have left Kharak Bahadur and caught hold of the deceased Dil Bahadur deceased, however, on receiving the fatal blow bled profusely from his head and fell on the ground.He is said to have died on the spot.In the meanwhile, Man Singh was sent to inform the police and the appellant together with his accomplice were overpowered by Bomb Bahadur and Kharak Bahadur.At the instance of Man Singh a D.D. report No. 78-B (Ex. P.W. 7/A) which was recorded on a telephonic message given by Man Singh at 7.30 p.m. on 4th January, 1982 came to be recorded at police station Moti Nagar.This was handed over to Sub-Inspector Dalip Singh who came on the spot, took possession of the accused as well as the weapon of the offence.He also took into possession some blood, blood soaked earth and control earth and secured and sealed all these exhibits properly.The post-mortem was conducted by Dr. Bharat Singh who noticed two injuries on the person of the deceased which he opined to be ante-mortem.He further opined that injury No. 1 was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature, and death was due to coma resulting from head injuries.He was further of the opinion that the lathi seized could cause the injuries noticed on the person of the deceased.We may notice the two injuries sustained by the deceased which are as follows :-(1) One lacerated wound on the right front of parietal area, placed anterio posteriorly.Size of the wound was 1" x 1/2" x Scalp deep.Margins of the wound were irregular and swollen wound was covered by clotted blood.Right side of skull was also covered by clotted blood surrounding the injury.(2) Abrasion on the left zionistic area.Size 1" x 1/2", brown in colour.This would go to show that injury No. 2 was in the nature of abrasion while it was actually injury No. 1 which was fatal.The prosecution case is, in fact, based on the testimony of Kharak Bahadur (PW 10) on whose statement (Ex. PW 10/A) FIR No. 5 of 1982 police station Moti Nagar was recorded at 9 p.m. In fact, the incident has taken place at 7 p.m. and the statement of P.W. 10 Kharak Bahadur was recorded somewhere between 7 p.m. and 8.45 p.m. as it has been actually dispatched from the spot at 8.45 p.m. The formal FIR was registered at 9.00 p.m. The prosecution case is also supported by Bomb Bahadur (PW 4) and Man Singh (P.W. 12), all of them being eye-witnesses to the incident.The common case of the parties is that Smt. Gian Kumari wife of the appellant Bhavi Ram had gone to stay with Kharak Bahadur (P.W. 10) for a couple of days a few months prior to the incident.The stand of the accused, however, is that on the day of the incident Kharak Bahadur, Bomb Bahadur, Man Singh and the deceased Dil Bahadur had come towards their Jhuggis in an intoxicated state with the intention to abduct his wife.Smelling the presence of the appellant with his wife in his Jhuggi, they entered the Jhuggi of Dharam Singh and tried to molest his wife, that on an alarm being raised by her, her brother rebuked Kharak Bahadur resulting in an altercation during which Dharma Singh's wife's brother was slapped by the deceased Dil Bahadur.At this he alleges, that Dharma Singh's brother-in-law in a sudden rage hit the deceased Dil Bahadur with a danda on his head.The appellant is stated to have asked Kharak Bahadur as to why he had abducted his wife, and why he was persisting in paying visits to her again.Apparently, there was some exchange of hot words in which Kharak Bahadur was caught by the neck by the accomplice of the appellant and then Dil Bahadur came to rescue him.There was an altercation and in that altercation the appellant inflicted one fatal blow on the head of the deceased Dil Bahadur.

CRA.No.11057/2019 which have been registered against him may be closed on this account.The accusation against the present appellant Mahendra Gurjar was that it was he who had kept the photograph of Ghanshyam and a voter card of Ghanshyam in the pocket of the deceased.As per prosecution story, Ghanshyam had provided to him the photograph and voter ID card and one photograph of Ghanshyam and the copy of the voter ID card was seized from the possession of Mahendra as per his memorandum.Considering this evidence, the learned trial judge found appellant Mahendra Gurjar to be involved in the conspiracy and found the charges proved against him under Section 193 of IPC, which is regarding giving of fabricating false evidence also found proved against him.Learned Senior counsel has submitted that Mahendra Gurjar has been falsely implicated and the aforesaid voter card and photograph of Ghanshyam Dhakad was implanted upon him by the investigating officer.There is no evidence on record that Mahendra knew Ghanshyam and the meeting of mind, which is pre requisite for hatching of conspiracy has not been proved.Learned Senior counsel submits that it is unfathomable to assume that appellant would retain incriminating evidence with him.He submits that the body of the deceased person as Ghanshyam was identified by co-accused Babulal and Banshilal and not by the appellant, on this ground suspension of jail sentence has been sought.Written reply has been submitted on behalf of the prosecution in which it has been submitted that the factum of memorandum and seizure from appellant shows his involvement as co-conspirator.Submissions were heard and documents were perused.The main accused Ghanshyam in his memorandum Exhibit P/12 has stated that he used to talk on mobile phones to present appellant and co-accused Banshi Gurjar.However, the police has not ... 3 ... CRA.No.11057/2019 obtained the call records of Ghanshyam, present appellant and Banshi Gurjar in order to prove communication between them.Ghanshyam has further stated that he had given more than Rs.13.00 lacs to Banshi Gurjar and the present appellant for making arrangements in order to proclaim him dead, but no efforts have been made by Investigating Officer to recover any amount from the present appellant.In his memorandum dated 26.9.2012, Ghanshyam has stated that he gave two photographs and two voter ID cards to the present appellant, but in his memorandum, he does not state that the present appellant has kept the photograph and voter ID card in the pocket of the deceased.He states that the photograph and ID card were placed in the pocket of the deceased as per instructions of the present appellant.There is substance in the submissions of the learned Senior counsel for the appellant that why the appellant would keep photograph and voter ID of Ghanshyam with himself which would have been extremely dangerous.A suggestion has been given to Basant Shrivastava (PW31) the Investigating Officer that he in fact, has implanted the aforesaid photographs and voter card on the person of the appellant.This suggestion has been denied.It can be seen that when the police arrived and searched the body of the deceased, it found photograph and voter card in the pocket of the deceased which were given to Mahesh Dhakad, the brother of Ghanshyam and later on vide Exhibit P/71, the same photograph and voter I.D. card were seized from Mahesh Dhakad.Hence, the suspension application deserves to be allowed.Accordingly, I.A.No.4862/2020 is allowed and it is directed that on depositing the fine amount and on furnishing a personal bond to the tune of Rs.50,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court, the substantive jail sentence of the appellant shall remain suspended during the pendency of this appeal and he shall be released on bail, for his regular appearance before the Registry of this Court on 20.10.2020 and all other subsequent dates, as may be fixed in this behalf by the Office/Registry of this Court in this behalf.List the matter for final hearing in due course.

sale of the properties, a sum of Rs.12,65,25,000/- was realized and the same was deposited into State Bank of India, PWD Branch, Chennai by the Competent Authority.Pursuant to the orders of the

necessary directions for disbursal of the amount to the depositors and as per the order passed by this Court, the eligible depositors received the deposits without interest on Pro-rata basis which was arrived at 90% and 3722 depositors were paid by the Competent Authority.(i).The Competent Authority also paid the statutory dues of the first appellant, viz., a sum of Rs.1,18,62,719/- to the commercial tax department and Rs.23,31,596/- to the income tax department.(j).Subsequently, by August 2010, another 400 depositors came forward seeking repayment of their deposits.At this stage, the present appealshttp://www.judis.nic.in came to be filed by the appellants seeking compounding of the pending three cases other than the cases compounded earlier on payment of the 8 defaulter claims and also seeking payment of Rs.29,34,500/- towards rent, food, maintenance and defence charges from the year 1996 to 2009, as per Sec.10(a) of TNPID3.The appellants filed the application in O.S.No.16

negotiation and then arrive the amount and the same to be disbursed to the depositors on proportionate basis and also direct the Respondents 1 & 3 therein to compound the offence stated to have been committed by the appellants/accused and discharge them from the case.5.The evidence was recorded based on the pleadings filed by both the parties and finally, both the applications were dismissed holding that the cases in C.C.No.6028/2001 and C.C.No.8038/2001 have been transferred and pending on the file of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai and the case in C.C.No.151/2002 has been pending on thehttp://www.judis.nic.in file of the Judicial Magistrate No.Moreover, the matter has been seized of by the High Court and therefore, the appellants were directed to approach the proper form and the Special Court refused to give any directions.These two orders are now being challenged before this Court.7.This Court perused the entire records and various reports filed by the third respondent/Investigating Agency.As per the order of this Court, the third respondent published notice in the newpapers calling for the claims.Further, various reports have been filed by the competent authority.8.By an order dated 08.11.2017, this Court directed the authorities to make paper publication to be effected in one of the issue of "Malai Murasu", tamil daily and "News Today", English daily informing the depositors to approach the Investigating Officer in the above case within a period of 10 days from the date of publication, failing which no claim application wouldhttp://www.judis.nic.in be entertained, even if the depositors are found to be genuine.When the matter was listed on 21.12.2017, it was represented before the Court that 180 claims have been made along with the original receipts issued by the appellants and they filed the list of claimants before this Court.10.By an order dated 09.03.2018, this Court recorded the statement of Ms.11.Thereafter, this Court by an order dated 26.03.2018 passed the following order:-"Today when the matter is taken up for hearing, a status report has been filed by the Inspector of Police, Economic Offences Wing, Chennai, giving the following details.3.Pursuant to the publication, claims were made to the tune of Rs.78,18,550/- from the depositors.Out of those depositors, a few depositors whose claim is valued at Rs.11,19,300/- have not produced the original deposit receipts and they had filed only hire purchase agreement, cheques and receipts.Therefore, the claim of the persons, who have produced the deposit receipts is only to the tune of Rs.66,99,250/-.The amount available, as on date, in cash is Rs.1,47,22,631/- and the depositors claim is Rs.78,18,550/-.Thus, the remaining amount is Rs.69,04,081/-.Out of Rs.69,04,081, a sumhttp://www.judis.nic.in of Rs.9,00,000/- is to be retained as deposit for some time and the 12 balance amount of Rs.60,04,081/- is required to be returned to the appellants, apart from the jewellery and precious materials.For filing of the calculation memo, both by the appellants as well as the respondents, call the matter on 28.03.2018."Out of the said amount, a sum of Rs.9,00,000/- is to be retained as deposit for some time and the balance amount of Rs.60,04,081/- is required to be returned to the appellants, apart from the jewellery and precious materials.13.In the said report the authorities have stated that the appellants' vehicle which were kept in the police custody were damaged due to the rusting and natural calamities.As they were parked in open area, the vehicles were damaged beyond recognition and the same cannot be even used as scrap.14.On consideration of the material on record, it is evident that the appellants had never absconded nor concealed any of the properties with an intention to evade payments to the depositors, but on the contra had been rendering all assistance in liquidation of the properties for the purposehttp://www.judis.nic.in of settling the dues to the depositors.Hence, as contemplated under 13 Section 5(A) of TNPID Act, the offence committed by the appellants can be compounded on payment of the entire dues payable to the depositors.15.In view of the aforesaid position, the following directions are issued:All the accused are acquitted from all the offences registered against them.The Investigating Officer is directed to return the balance amount available with them, after retaining the amount which is required to be paid to the remaining depositors.The Investigating Officer is directed to return the machineries and other valuables available with them.The Investigating Officer shall not entertain any further claims.The Banks of America and Citi Bank which are holding the

6 It is not disputed that the accused persons are known to Puran (PW 1), Premchand (PW 2), Ramlal (PW 3) and Heera Bai (PW 8).7 The prosecution case in brief is that complainant Puran (PW 1) along with his wife Heera Bai (PW 8) and his son were planting Singhara.The accused/appellant Gorelal, his sister Munni and mother Rambo Bai stopped the complainant to plant Singhara.The complainant Puran (PW 1) when did not pay any heed to the accused Gorelal, he inflicted injury on his head by means of wooden stick (danda).Puran (PW 1) sustained injuries and blood came out.His wife and son also received injuries caused by co-accused Rambo Bai and Munni.They also abused the complainant by obscene words.They even threatened the complainant.Thereby criminal intimidation was caused.Shankar Dheemar and other persons came to save the complainant.The complainant then went to Police Chauki Matguma and lodged report.They were sent to hospital for medical examination.There are numbers of contradictions, omissions and improvements.13 The injury, therefore, should be grievous in nature and caused by the accused with the knowledge that the hurt so caused likely to be grievous.(17.08.2017) Law clearly expects the appellate Court to dispose of the appeal on merits, not merely by perusing the reasoning of the trial Court in the judgment but by cross-checking the reasoning of the evidence on record.It is the duty of the appellant and his lawyer to remain present on the appointed day, time and place, when the appeal is posted for hearing.2 The law does not enjoin that the Court shall adjourn the case if both the appellant and his lawyer are absent.In the case of Bani Singh and Others Vs.State of U.P., AIR 1996 SC 2439, the Apex Court while dealing with Section 386 of Cr.P.C held that when appellant and his lawyer are absent on appointed for hearing, the Court is not bound to adjourn the case, but should dispose of appeal on merits.The dismissal of appeal simpliciter for non-prosecution is not contemplated.3 In a similar case of K.S. Panduranga Vs.State of Karnataka, 2013 Cr.L.J 1665 the Apex Court has held that it cannot be said that the Court cannot decide a criminal appeal in the absence of the counsel for the accused, even if the counsel does not appear deliberately or shows negligence in appearing.4 This criminal appeal is pending since 1997, but none appeared on behalf of the appellant.Therefore, in view of aforesaid enunciation of law, the appeal is being decided.5 This appeal has been preferred by the appellant- Gorelal under Section 374 (2) of Cr.P.C challenging the judgment dated 19.12.1997, passed by 1st A.S.J, Chhatarpur, in S.T. No. 175/1993, wherein the appellant has been convicted for offence under Section 325 of I.P.C and sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.1,000/- and in default of fine further rigorous imprisonment for six months.The wife of complainant- Heera Bai (PW 8) and son- Premchand (PW 2) received simple injuries whereas the complainant Puran has received grievous injury.8 After due investigation, charge sheet has been filed under Sections 294, 323/34 506-B, 325 and 307 of I.P.C. The appellant and accused Rambo Bai and Munni abjured guilt.According to them, the complainant Puran, on the instigation of Ramlal and Ramsahay, has given the false evidence.The land in which the complainant- Puran was cultivating Singhara, was cultivated by the appellant/accused in the previous years.The appellant is innocent.The appellant has been falsely implicated.9 Learned trial Court after having adduced the prosecution evidence has acquitted all the accused person for offence under Sections 294, 323/34, 506- B, 307/34 of I.P.C. But has convicted the appellant Gorelal for offence under Section 325 of I.P.C and sentenced as aforementioned.The co-accused Rambo Bai and Munni Bai were given the benefit of doubt and have been acquitted, for offence under Section 325 of I.P.C. 10 The appellant has assailed the judgment impugned on the ground that the appellant is innocent.The conviction of appellant is bad in the eyes of law.The prosecution has failed to prove the offfence beyond reasonable doubts.Heera Bai (PW 8) and Premchand (PW 2) were examined after a lapse of a long time.The trial Court acquitted Munni Bai and Rambo Bai.The appellant is on the same pedestal, therefore, he also be acquitted.11 Perused the record.12 For constituting offence under Section 325 of I.P.C, it is necessary that:-(i) There should be injury to the complainant;(ii) The injury is of grievous hurt;Police Chauki Matgua along with a requisition brought complainant Puran for examination.He examined the complainant and found that there is a lacerated wound 2x2 muscle deep on the scalp.There was bleeding.The injury was caused by hard and blunt object.He advised for x-ray of skull and referred to the specialist.According to him, fracture was found on the parietal bone of right side of Puran (PW 1).15 This evidence reveals that the complainant Puran (PW1) sustained grievous injury on his head by hard and blunt object.There is nothing on record to suspect the above evidence.16 Puran (PW 1) has stated that he along with his wife (PW 2) and son Premchand (PW 8) were planting Singhara when the accused persons came there.The accused persons had the reason to dispute the plantation of Singhara because this land was given to the accused persons earlier on patta.Subsequently, the complainant Puran was asked to do the plantation of Singhara on the same land.According to Puran, (PW 1) the 'Patta' was given to him and he was planting Singhara.There was no eminent danger to save his person or property.Therefore, he ought to have restrained himself and he should have taken the recourse to lodge report or solve the dispute in the Panchayat.17 The statement of Puran (PW 1) has been found support from Premchand (PW 2), Heera Bai (PW 8).18 According to him, the accused- Gorelal had given a blow on the head of Puran (PW 1).Ramlal has admitted his signature in the seizure memo Ex. P/3 though he denies having such seizure in his presence.State of U.P. reported as 2012(5) SCC 777, the statement of Ramlal (PW 3) can be believed as regarding the seizure of wooden stick.Prakash Babu Sharma (PW 9) the Investigating Officer has clearly stated that by panchnama, Ex. P3, the wooden stick has been seized from the accused Gorelal.No reason to disbelieve the same.Though there are few contradictions and omissions, but these are natural and rules out the possibility of being tutored.20 Keeping in view the above circumstances, prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant/accused has inflicted injury voluntarily to Puran and caused grievous hurt.23 With the above modification in conviction and sentence, the appeal is allowed in part.(SUSHIL KUMAR PALO) JUDGE awinash

This petition has been filed to call for the records and quash the F.I.Rdated 25.01.2007 in Cr.No.156 of 2007 on the file of the first respondent.The facts giving rise to the filing of this petition would run thus:Cr.No.156 of 2007 came to be registered under Sections 420, 467, 468 and477-A, I.P.C, based on the complaint of the Tahsildhar as against thepetitioners herein.The nitty-gritty, the gist and kernel of the allegations as against thepetitioners are that as the power of attorney of some persons who are not realowners of the Government lands measuring 6 cents, he has chosen to enter into anagreement to sell with third parties by indulging in forgery and in fabricatingdocuments.The petitioner also committed similar offences relating to theGovernment lands.Based on that, the first petitioner was arrested and releasedon bail.Being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with, the action taken by thepolice, this petition is focussed on the main grounds as under:The petitioners/A.1 and A.2 did not sell any area in S.No.134/2 or in anyother sub division.The second petitioner herein, is the power of attorney ofone Mrs.The Natham settlementPatta No.575 issued by the Special Tahsildhar, stands in the names of the saidThangaraj and Veeranan in respect of the said 3 cents.So far no sale deed hasbeen executed by the petitioner on the strength of the power deeds and there isonly an agreement to sell exits and now it is also barred by limitation.The learned Counsel for the petitioners would submit at the time ofargument that those two persons they purchased it from one Balu who got the samefrom Lakshmana Pillai who was awarded with that land by the British Governmentfor his meritorious service.The learned Counsel for the petitioners would address this court on themain ground that absolutely there is no prima facie case made out in the F.I.Rand there is no question of cheating any one based on the agreement to sell.Neither the Tahsildhar nor the Government was approached so as to cause loss toany one.Accordingly, he prays for quashing the F.I.R.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would reiterate what are allfound specified in the counter affidavit filed by the Tahsildhar.The warp andwoof of the counter is that after obtaining permission from the Collector only,the complaint was lodged; when the first petitioner on 25.01.2007 with anintention to get round seal with State emblem in a patta pass book, approachedthe Tahsildhar; the latter on seeing the forged signature of the Tahsildhar inthat patta pass book, developed suspicion and probed into the matter andthereby, informed the Collector, Madurai about it and on his instructions, heenquired with his officials and also with the officials of the RegistrationDepartment and found out that the first petitioner is involved in committing thecrimes of grabbing and scrounging the Government Poramboke lands especially, inS.No.134/2 of Madurai North Taluk, which is classified as Pudhukulam kanmaiPoramboke.It has to be seen at this juncture, whether there is any material toquash the F.I.R and the related proceedings?The perusal of the F.I.R would show that the Tahsildhar levelledallegations as against the first petitioner herein that he with the criminalintention, entered into agreement to sell with third parties so as to sell theGovernment land in the said Survey Number.It is also the allegation of theTahsildhar that the first petitioner only indulged in various other activitiesof fabricating pattas by forging the signatures of Revenue officials, etc.The main thrust of the argument of the learned Counsel for thepetitioners is that Section 420 I.P.C is in no way attracted as mere agreementto sell between the power of attorneys and third parties would not attractSection 420 I.P.C; the Tasildhar is not at all in any way concerned with this,whereas the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has correctly answered thatonce Government land is being attempted to be alienated by fabricatingdocuments, the Tahsildhar who is responsible for looking after the Governmentlands is entitled to lodge a complaint and in this case, the Tahsildhar lodgedthe complaint with the permission of the Collector.The learned Counsel for the petitioner would contend that there is nofile relating to sanction.If that be so, there should be properevidence on that score and necessary expert opinion would also be required.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that thewitnesses who are examined by the police disowned their signatures in therelevant pattas and their statements have also been recorded.The Deputy Superintendent of Police concerned should call for the filefrom the Inspector of Police concerned and take up further investigation andduring such investigation, due opportunity should be given to the petitionersfor producing documents and the opinion of the hand writing expert shall beobtained and the matter should be processed accordingly.The learned Counsel for the petitioners in an extempore manner wouldpray that since this matter involves the future and welfare of the secondpetitioner, a time frame may be fixed to complete the investigation.

Kumar has been acquitted of the offences punishable under Sections 457 and 376 of the Indian Penal Code ("IPC" for short).Prosecution case, in brief, is that on 28/10/2011, at about, 8 p.m., when the prosecutrix was all alone in her house, respondent entered thereinto, caught her hand, tied her mouth with a piece of cloth and subjected her to rape and threatened to kill in case she divulged the incident to anyone.At this juncture, upon arrival of her husband and daughter from Harda, respondent fled from the window while leaving his Gamcha on the bed.On 30/10/11 report of the incident was lodged at Police Station Sirali and after investigation, charge-sheet was filed.Learned Deputy Advocate General submitted that the impugned judgment was passed without proper appreciation of evidence on record and the same deserved to be interfered with.Having regard to the arguments advanced by learned Deputy Advocate General, impugned judgment was perused.Prosecutrix (PW2) is a married woman.On the night of incident, her husband and daughter, quite unexpectedly, had come from Harda a day before and seeing her husband, the respondent had fled from the spot.Thereafter, prosecutrix was beaten by her husband.Dr. Rashmi Sharma (PW6), though noticed several injuries of Lathi on the thighs and buttocks of the prosecutrix, did not find any injury on her private parts.As per the evidence brought on record, these injuries were caused by her husband.In the aforesaid premises, the trial Court found that prosecutrix was a consenting party and the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.It is well settled that the judgment of acquittal should not be disturbed unless the conclusions drawn on the basis of evidence brought on record are found to be grossly unreasonable or manifestly perverse or palpably unsustainable.Taking into consideration the reasons assigned on the face of evidence on record establishing the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the view taken by the learned trial Court was apparently a possible view.The application, being devoid of merit and substance, stands dismissed.

Prosecution witnesses Kaushalya (PW-2) and Ashish (PW-3) were minor children of the couple, who were in their early teens.Sumrati Bai (PW-5) has a field adjacent to that of accused Chhotelal.At about 11;00 a.m. on 2.2.2006, accused Chhotelal and deceased Rampayari Bai were in their field.Their minor children Kaushalya (PW-2) and Ashish (PW-3), who were 12 and 13 years old respectively, were also present.Sumrati Bai (PW-5) was working in her field along with Tijjo Bai @ Tidko Bai (PW-6) and Suhaga Bai (PW-7).At that time, accused Chhotelal started to beat his wife with wooden handle of a pickaxe.When Sumrati Bai tried to intercede on behalf of deceased Rampayari Bai, the accused Chhotelal told her off by claiming that Rampayari Bai was his wife; therefore, he was entitled to do anything to her and Sumrati Bai had no right to intervene in the matter.He chased Sumrati Bai away.The accused inflicted 11 wounds upon the deceased.As a result, she died on the spot.The accused dumped her body on the embankment between his field and that of Sumrati Bai and left.(19-06-2017) Per C.V. Sirpurkar, J:This criminal appeal under Section 374 (2) of the Cr.P.C. is directed against the judgment dated 12.1.2007 passed by the Sessions Judge, Mandla, District Mandla in Sessions Trial No. 47/2006, whereby accused/appellant Chhotelal was convicted of the offence punishable under Section 302 of the I.P.C. for committing murder of his wife Rampayari Bai and was sentenced to undergo life imprisonment and to pay a fine in the sum of Rs. 500/-.In default of payment of fine, he was directed to undergo further rigorous imprisonment for a period of one month.The prosecution case before the trial Court may be summarized as hereunder: Deceased Rampayari Bai was wife of accused Chhotelal.Thereafter, Ashish, son of the accused, reported the matter to Darniya Bai, who lodged the FIR in Police Station Mandla at about 6:30 p.m. the same day.During investigation, on the disclosure statement made by the accused under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, handle of the pickaxe was recovered from his possession.During serological examination conducted in Forensic Science Laboratory, Sagar, human blood was found on handle of the pickaxe.The trial Court framed a charge under Section 302 of the I.P.C. against the accused.He abjured the guilt and claimed to be tried.In his examination under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C., he stated that he was innocent and the prosecution witnesses had falsely implicated him for claiming Rs.20,000/- from the Panchayat.The trial Court held that prosecution had succeeded in proving beyond reasonable doubt that deceased Rampayari Bai had died a homicidal death as a result of shock caused by multiple injuries over her body.Aforesaid injuries were caused by the accused with intent to cause her death; therefore, appellant was convicted and sentenced as herein above stated.During the course of arguments, no serious challenge has been mounted on behalf of the appellant with regard to the finding that the appellant had caused death of accused Rampayari Bai by inflicting multiple blows with handle of a pickaxe.Learned counsel for the appellant has specifically invited attention of the Court to the cross- examination of Kaushalya (PW-2), the daughter of the couple, who had admitted therein that at the time of the incident, her mother had consumed alcohol and was in an inebriated state.Her father had taken meals to the field for her and was trying to cajole her to take the same.However, she refused; whereon, her father remonstrated with her that she consumes liquor and creates a scene Thereafter, he had struck a blow to her head with handle of the pickaxe.In view of aforesaid admission made by Kaushalya Bai (PW-2) in her cross-examination, it has been contended that no intention by the appellant to cause death of his wife was discernible in the facts and circumstances of the case.Consequently, it has been prayed that the conviction of the appellant be converted from the Section 302 of the I.P.C. to Section 304 (Part- II) thereof and the sentence of life imprisonment be reduced to the period undergone by the appellant in custody.Learned Penal Lawyer for the respondent/State on the other hand has supported the impugned judgment on the ground that 4 Cr.A.No.271/2007 appellant had intentionally caused such injuries to his wife as were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.On perusal of the record and due consideration of rival contentions, we are of the view that this criminal appeal against conviction must fail for the reasons hereinafter stated:It may be noted at the outset that the case of the prosecution is based upon the solid foundation of as many as 5 eye witnesses.Though minor, two of them are children of the appellant.Third eye witness Sumrati Bai owns the field which is adjacent to that of the appellant.Remaining two witnesses Tijjo Bai (PW-6) and Suhaga Bai (PW-7) had gone to the field of Sumrati Bai as labourers.As such, their presence on the spot was quite natural.None of the aforesaid witnesses can be said to have any axe to grind against the appellant.In aforesaid backdrop, when we examined the statements of eye witnesses, we find that all five of them have supported the prosecution case.Sum and substance of their testimony is that Kaushalya Bai (PW-2) and Ashish (PW-3) were present at their parent's field along with deceased Rampayari Bai and appellant Chhotelal.Sumrati (PW-5), Tijjo Bai (PW-6) and Suhaga Bai (PW-7) were also present in the field of Sumrati Bai.At that time, the appellant assaulted the deceased with wooden handle of a pickaxe and caused numerous injuries to her on head, face, chest, stomach and thigh.Kaushalya Bai and Ashish tried to protect their mother but the appellant chased them away.Sumrati Bai (PW-5), Tijjo Bai (PW-6) and Suhaga Bai (PW-7) tried to intercede on behalf of the deceased but the appellant did not pay any heed to them.He threatened to beat Sumrati Bai.Unable to watch this merciless thrashing, Sumrati Bai and her companions went away.During cross-examination and arguments before the trial Court, learned counsel for the appellant had tried to contrive discrepancy by contending that some of the witnesses have stated that the injuries were caused by the handle of a 'gaiti' and some others 5 Cr.A.No.271/2007 have stated that injuries was caused by the handle of a 'kudali'; however, it has rightly been held by the trial Court that there is no basic difference between the handle of 'gaiti' on one hand and handle of a 'kudali' on the other.The thickness of the handle depends upon the central hole of the iron piece of the implement.Whether Chhotelal had accompanied the deceased to the field at 7:00 a.m. or had gone there later at 11:00 a.m. with his daughter, is immaterial.Moreover, Kaushalya Bai was a 12 years old rustic child.As such, there is no reason to disbelieve the testimony of 5 eye witnesses, who have all supported the prosecution case, as none of them springs from a tainted source.Thus, the trial Court was perfectly justified in placing reliance upon the aforesaid 5 eye witnesses and holding that it was appellant Chhotelal, who had inflicted 11 injuries that were found on the person of the deceased.In such a situation, it would be natural for any husband to get annoyed; however, the moot question is whether every annoyance caused by a wife amounts to provocation to her husband giving him license to beat her mercilessly with a dangerous weapon? The answer to this question would be an emphatic and resounding no.There were three other injuries in the chest and stomach region.As a result, the liver had been ruptured.

JUDGMENT Amar Saran, J.This criminal revision has been filed for challenging the order dated 2.9.2004 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, FTC No. 2, Bijnor allowing the application moved by the complainant-opposite party No. 2 under Section 311 Cr.P.C. seeking to re-examine Rakesh Kumar and Virendra Singh in S.T. No. 220 of 2002 (State v. Deepak and Ors.), under Sections 302/324 IPC, police station Haldaur, district Bijnor.The revisionist Deepak along with two other co-accused Chandu and Sumer had been arrayed as accused in the FIR dated 18.5.2001, which alleged that the incident had taken place on 18.5.2001 at about 9 P.M. where the brother of the informant Madan was murdered by the accused persons including the revisionist.The role of the revisionist was to give a knife blow on the chest of the deceased while the other co-accused Chandu and Sumer were assigned the role of catching hold of the deceased at the time of incident.However, when the witnesses appeared in court, they turned hostile.An application ext.Kha 85, which contained a copy of a report in case No. 467 C of 2003 under Sections 452/504/506 IPC lodged at police station Haldaur, which alleged that the accused Sumer and Chandu (who have been granted bail in the present case) armed with country made pistols had intimidated and threatened the witness Rakesh Kumar on 25.7.2003 at 6 P.M. and had exerted pressure on them to turn hostile in the murder case.It was on account of this threat, that the witnesses could not give the true version in the court because there was such a great terror of the accused persons.On account of this application and the FIR in case crime No. 467 C of 2003, the impugned order had been passed by the Additional Sessions Judge FTC No. 2, Bijnor.The principal ground for challenging the impugned order was that the application had been moved by O.P. No. 2 on 25.8.2004, i.e. after one year of the examination of the witnesses PW.

Dead body of the deceased was shown to public persons for the purpose of identification but its identity could not be established.Inquest papers Ex.PW23/B were prepared and the dead body was shifted to the Mortuary vide application which is Ex.PW23/C.In the meanwhile, injured was referred to GTB Hospital where he regained consciousness and informed that his name was Munna Lal and provided the telephone number of his brother- in-law Rakesh who was then called in the hospital.The brother- in-law of the injured identified him as Munna Lal (PW1).One Banwari Lal (PW24) telephonically informed that his driver Banwari Lal Vyas (deceased) had gone to Delhi in Jeep No. RJ Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 3 of 29 14 5C 1853 and had not returned.PW1 Munna Lal was declared fit for statement and his statement was recorded in which he stated that Dheeraj (co- accused) had come to him in Jaipur along with his three associates on 16.03.2001 and had asked for a vehicle along with driver to carry drums from Jaipur to Delhi.One Mahindra Marshal Jeep along with driver Banwari Lal Vyas (deceased) was deputed for this purpose.He further stated that in Delhi, co- accused Dheeraj along with other accused bought food for everyone and everyone had food outside co-accused Dheeraj's brother-in-law's house at Kondli.He further stated that two chemical drums were unloaded at co-accused Dheeraj's Brother-in-law's house and after having their meal everyone sat in the Jeep and on the way he became unconscious.He stated that he suspects that the appellant along with his three co- accused had murdered Banwari Lal in order to steal the vehicle.On the basis of this statement, a search was carried out at the house where the drums were dropped off by the accused.One Poonam wife of Sanjay Verma was found at this house and she informed that on the intervening night of 16/17.03.2001, one Chottu and Kala accompanied by others had come to her house Crl.Coming to the first issue, the presence of the appellant with the deceased and PW1 throughout the journey from Jaipur to Delhi was sought to be established by the prosecution primarily through the testimony of PW1 Munna Lal.PW1 Munna Lal is no doubt the most important witness in the present case and his testimony needs to be analysed in detail and corroborated with other witnesses and evidence to establish the guilt of the appellant.PW1 Munna Lal in his examination in chief dated 19.09.2009 had deposed that on 16.03.2001 while he was working as an employee in Laghoo Udyog Sewa Sansthan (now changed to MSME Development Institute, Govt.

Custody of the appellant was obtained by SI Yogender Kumar (PW8) and the appellant was arrested vide Arrest Memo Ex.PW8/A. Lalit Kumar (PW16), the then Ld. MM conducted the TIP of the appellant vide Ex.PW16/A and issued a certificate Ex.PW16/B regarding the correctness of proceedings.During the TIP of the appellant, PW1 Munna Lal correctly identified the appellant.A supplementary charge sheet was filed against the appellant and charges under Section 120B and 302, 307, 392 read with Section 120B were framed against him.The prosecution examined 27 witnesses to bring home the guilt of the appellant.Statement of the appellant was recorded under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (in short the Code') in which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.The appellant in his statement under Section 313 denied the case of the prosecution without explaining any of the inculpatory circumstance produced against him.He further stated that he had already been shown to PW1 Munna Lal Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 7 of 29 before the TIP proceedings.The appellant was given the opportunity to lead defence evidence but he opted not to do so.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 7 of 29Ms. Rakhi Dubey, learned counsel for the appellant argued that the impugned judgment was illegal and not based on a sound appreciation of facts and law and is therefore liable to be set aside.She further argued that the prosecution failed to examine the wife of PW1 Munna Lal to whom the he had allegedly informed about his travel along with the deceased and accused from Jaipur to Delhi.She had further argued that the Trial Court overlooked various contradictions and inconsistencies in the testimony of many witnesses which casts a serious doubt on the prosecution story.She further argued that the appellant was arrested on 22.02.2008 after a gap of more than seven years after the incident and his TIP was conducted on 25.03.2008 in which PW1 Munna Lal had failed to identify the appellant according to the statement of Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 8 of 29 the appellant under Section 313 of the Code.She further argued that statement of the appellant under Section 313 of the Code casts a serious doubt as to the involvement of the appellant in the commission of the crime.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 8 of 29Per contra, Ms. Radhika Kolluru learned APP had argued that the impugned judgment was based on sound legal principles and correct appreciation of evidence on record and therefore does not warrant interference.She further argued that the testimony of the PW1 Munna Lal who was present with the appellant throughout the entire journey from Jaipur to Delhi is corroborated by the evidence on record.She argued that PW1 Munna Lal was then brutally assaulted by the appellant and other co-accused and presumed to be dead which clearly establishes the guilt of the appellant beyond reasonable doubt.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties.The appellant seeks to challenge the impugned judgment primarily on two grounds:-i. The presence of the appellant during the commission of the crime with the co-accused is under a serious doubt because of the various contradictions and inconsistencies in the testimony of PW1 and also because the prosecution failed to establish chain of events linking the appellant with the crime.The appellant stated in his statement under Section 313 of the Code that he had been shown to PW1 Munna Lal before his TIP was conducted and even Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 9 of 29 during the TIP he was not identified correctly by PW1 Munna Lal who was the most important witness in the case.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 9 of 29Appeal No.733/2016 Page 10 of 29 Dhiraj, Dalip (appellant) and two other persons chose one Marshal Vehicle bearing registration number RJ-14-5C-1852 and Banwari Lal Vyas (deceased) was chosen to be the driver for the journey.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 10 of 29He further deposed soon after having food he and Banwari Lal became unconscious and he regained consciousness in GTB Hospital where he realised that he was having injuries all over his body because of which he was in severe pain and that driver Banwari Lal Vyas was found dead in Mayur Vihar, Phase-III.He further deposed that his Titan wrist watch along with some documents and cash were stolen by the appellant and the co-Appeal No.733/2016 Page 11 of 29He further deposed that he suspected that the appellant and the co-accused had mixed a stupefying drug along with their food in order to rob the vehicle and other valuable properties.He further deposed that he was called to Tihar Jail on 25.03.2008 to identify the appellant.He had also identified co- accused Dhirender and the two drums which were dropped off by the appellant and the co-accused at the house of Sanjay Verma.He further deposed that the appellant was present in Court that day and he identified the other three accused.PW1 in his cross-examination deposed that he was sitting on the front seat with the driver Banwari Lal Vyas during the journey while the appellant was sitting behind him on the rear seat.The testimony of PW1 Munna Lal finds corroboration from the testimony of PW-24 Banwari Lal who was the owner of the Mahindra Jeep No. RJ 14-5C-1853 and he deposed in his examination in chief that he had deputed the said vehicle to Gangawat Travels.He testified that Banwari Lal Vyas (deceased) was the driver deputed for this vehicle.He further deposed that on 16.03.2001 the said vehicle was hired by someone through PW1 Munna Lal and when the vehicle was not returned till 18.03.2001, he went to PW1 Munna Lal's house where he was informed by PW1's wife that something had happened to the vehicle.He deposed that he was then called to Police Station New Ashok Nagar where he was informed that Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 12 of 29 his vehicle was missing and from there he was taken to a Hospital for the identification of the dead body of Banwari Lal Vyas.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 12 of 29The testimony of PW1 also finds strength from the testimony of PW-22 Raj Kumar who is the owner of Gangawat Travels.He deposed in his examination in chief that a vehicle bearing registration no. RJ 14-5C-1853 along with driver Banwari Lal Vyas (deceased) was hired by PW1 Munna Lal on 16.03.2001 on the guarantee of one driver Kamal.He further deposed that on 18.03.2001 he came to know that the driver of the said vehicle i.e. Banwari Lal Vyas had been murdered by someone.The MLC of PW1 Munna Lal also corroborates the case of the prosecution.The MLC of PW1 shows that he had received multiple injuries including ligature marks on his neck.PW-19 Dr. Tapas Chatterjee who was posted as the Casualty Medical Officer in LBS Hospital on 17.03.2001 examined PW1 when he was brought to the hospital and opined that there were strangulation marks which were a result of a rope being used for strangulation and this injury was dangerous to life in general.From the testimony of PW1 Munnal Lal, PW24 Banwari Lal and PW22 Raj Kumar, it is clearly established that the appellant along with the co-accused had accompanied PW1 and the deceased to Delhi after which the driver of the vehicle was found dead, PW1 was found seriously injured, the vehicle hired Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 13 of 29 from Jaipur was missing and the appellant along with his accomplices were found to be absconding.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 13 of 29This is primarily based on the appellant's statement under Section 313 of the Code where he stated that he had already been shown to PW1 and even then he had incorrectly identified him.To record a conviction, the last seen together itself would not be sufficient and the prosecution has to complete the chain of Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 17 of 29 circumstances to bring home the guilt of the accused.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 17 of 29The prosecution has been able to prove the following chain of circumstance in a sequence:i. The appellant along with his co-accused had approached PW1 Munna Lal in Jaipur to arrange for a vehicle to transport chemical drums to Delhi.PW1 Munna Lal arranged a vehicle from the owner of Gangawat Travels i.e. PW-22 Raj Kumar for the appellant and his accomplices.The owner of the vehicle was PW-24 Banwari Lal.The deceased Banwari Lal Vyas was the driver of the said vehicle.After they reached Delhi around midnight, PW1 stated that co-accused Dhiraj purchased food and liquor from New Delhi Railway Station and they headed to the house of Sanjay Verma who was referred to as jija ji by co-accused Dhiraj in Kondli.v. After reaching Sanjay Verma's house after midnight on 17.03.2001, PW1 and the deceased were served food by Dhiraj and other co-accused.The appellant has offered no explanation to any of the inculpating evidence.He only stated in his statement under Section 313 of the Code that he has been falsely implicated and chose not to lead any defence evidence.The time gap between PW1 and the deceased before he was murdered being seen with the appellant and after they were found in the garbage dump is so proximate that no other inference can be drawn apart from holding the appellant guilty.In view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Lallu Manjhi's case (supra), the testimony of PW1 finds sufficient corroboration in the testimony of official witnesses as well as the medical and circumstantial evidence on record to hold the appellant guilty.The appellant has failed to explain the inculpating circumstances which would make the Court believe that any other inference can be drawn from the existing circumstance and evidence on record.The appellant was convicted for the offence under Section 302 read with Section 120B of the IPC.The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Baliya v. State of M.P., (2012) 9 SCC 696 elaborated the ingredients that must be proved in order to convict an accused for the offence under Section 120B as under:The offence of criminal conspiracy is defined in Section 120-A of the Penal Code whereas Section 120-B of the Code provides for punishment for the said offence.The appellant along with the co-accused hired a vehicle, laced some food with stupefying drugs and fed the same to PW1 and deceased, murdered the deceased, attempted to murder PW1 and fled with the vehicle and other valuables.The chain of events has already been established and from this chain itself the offence under Section 120B also stands established beyond all doubts.As far as the conviction of the appellant under Section 392 is concerned, we may profit by referring to the view taken by a co- ordinate bench of this Court while deciding appeal of the co- accused Dhirender Singh Tomar who was convicted under Crl.The relevant paragraph is reproduced below:Appeal No.733/2016 Page 20 of 29The testimony of PW-2 establishes that the appellant, his brother Dheeraj and two more accused were with the deceased and PW-2 when they took food.The DD entries and the testimony of SI Sanjay PW-18 establishes that the dead body of the deceased was recovered from a garbage dump at Mayur Vihar Phase III which is near village Kondli where the accused took meals along with PW-2 and the deceased.This was the place where PW-2 was picked up in an unconscious condition.The theory of last seen evidence clearly comes into play.So proximate is the time when the crime was committed to the place of last seen that any reasonable person would conclude that the appellant and his three co-accused who are proclaimed offenders are the offenders unless the appellant explains when did he part company with the deceased and the injured [AIR 1955 SC 801 Deonandan Mishra Vs.The testimony of PW-2 clearly establishes that he lost consciousness immediately when he ate the food.At that point of time, the appellant was present.The vehicle which was took on hire is missing and has till date not been traced.Since the vehicle, which was taken on hire, has not been recovered and it was last seen in the possession of the appellant Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 21 of 29 and the co-accused, the charge of Robbery under Section 392 of the IPC stands proved.We find no reason to interfere with this finding as the chain of events that led to the vehicle disappearing establish the criminal conspiracy that the appellant and the co-accused entered into for the purpose of robbing PW1 and the deceased of their valuables and the vehicle that was taken on hire.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 21 of 29In view of the facts and circumstances of the case we find no merit in the appeal and the same is dismissed and the sentence imposed on the appellant is upheld.TCR be sent back.ORDER ON COMPENSATION TO THE LEGAL HEIRS OF THE VICTIMThe appellant was convicted for the offence under Section 302 read with Section 120B of the IPC and sentenced to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs.10, 000/-.In default of payment of fine he was sentenced to undergo Simple Imprisonment for six months.The appellant was further convicted for the offence under Section 307 read with Section 120B of the IPC and awarded life imprisonment and a fine of Rs.10, 000/-.In default of payment of fine he was sentenced to undergo Simple Imprisonment for six months.The appellant was also convicted for the offence punishable under Section 392 read with Section Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 22 of 29 120B of the IPC and awarded rigorous imprisonment for five years and a fine of Rs.10, 000/-.In default of payment of fine he was sentenced to undergo Simple Imprisonment for six months.Even this meagre fine has not been ordered to be paid to the legal heirs of the deceased or to Munna Lal by the Trial Court.Considering the mandate, this court proposes to deal with the aspect of granting compensation to the victims.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 22 of 29In this case, the deceased Banwari Lal Vyas Pal died due to asphyxwhia as a result of strangulation.Copy of this order be also sent to Member Secretary, Delhi State Legal Services Authority.(VINOD GOEL) JUDGE (G.S SISTANI) JUDGE DECEMBER 19, 2017 // Crl.Appeal No.733/2016 Page 29 of 29Appeal No.733/2016 Page 29 of 29

Though there was no demand of dowry at the time of marriage but after about a month of the marriage in-laws of the deceased Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 1 of 12 started making demands of dowry.Their demands were a refrigerator, colour T.V. and a gold chain etc. Nasira Begum was harassed for not fulfilling these demands to the extent that she was given physical beatings, the injury marks of which were shown by her to her father.However, the father thought that the matter would be settled.She was not even permitted to have cold water as she had not brought fridge in dowry.A. 245/2001 Page 1 of 12On the instigation of the sisters of the Appellant, the Appellant used to give physical beating to her with danda and on one occasion he went to the extent of pressing her throat.She had visited her parental house on the Friday prior to the incident and complained about the harassment which she was subjected to by her in-laws.She requested her parents not to send her back as otherwise her in-laws would kill her.However, the Appellant came and took her along with him.As per the parents of the deceased besides her husband, her two sisters-in-law i.e., sisters of the Appellant and their husbands namely Yamin and Zamir also used to abuse her and taunt her for bringing insufficient dowry and instigate her husband/Appellant to give her beatings with dandas.On 7th June, 1998 the deceased was admitted to St. Stephens Hospital which information was given by the Appellant and his maternal uncle to Nasir Ahmed, the father of the deceased.They informed him that she was suffering from vomiting and therefore, was admitted in St. Stephens Hospital.The Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 3 of 124. Learned APP on the other hand contends that the statement of the deceased was kept pending by the SDM till she becomes conscious and since Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 4 of 12 she never regained consciousness her statement could not be recorded.The Prosecution witnesses especially PW1, PW4, PW7 and PW8 have categorically deposed about the demand of dowry and harassment in regard thereto soon before the death.PW11 and 12 have deposed about the cruelty inflicted by the Appellant on the deceased on 7 th June, 1998 at 10.00 A.M. itself.The allegations of physical cruelty meted by the Appellant to the deceased are corroborated by the testimony of PW15 Dr. Ajit Kumar who in the MLC has recorded about the injury marks on the person of deceased.The fact that the deceased had ante mortem injury marks is also proved by PW18 Dr. Sarvesh Tandon who conducted the post mortem of the deceased.M.A. 405/2002 (EARLY HEARING) The application is dismissed as infructuous.A. 245/2001 Page 2 of 12 deceased subsequently died on 10th June, 1998 and on post mortem being conducted the viscera was preserved.The CFSL report opined that the viscera contained a poisonous substance called aluminum phosphate poison.All the accused persons were sent for trial and charges for offences under Section 498A/34IPC and 304B/34IPC were framed.After recording of Prosecution evidence, statements of the accused persons and defence evidence, all other accused persons, except the Appellant were acquitted.The Appellant has been convicted for offences punishable under Sections 498A/304BIPC and awarded a sentence of Rigorous Imprisonment for 10 years under Sec. 304B IPC and to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for two years and a fine of `3,000/- and in default of payment of fine to undergo simple imprisonment for two months under section 498A IPC.This is the judgment impugned.A. 245/2001 Page 2 of 123. Learned counsel for the Appellant contends that despite the fact that the deceased was hospitalized for three days no statement of the deceased was recorded by the doctor or the investigating officer.The deceased never complained about the harassment either on telephone or by letter before the death.The learned Trial Court disbelieved the evidence of prosecution witnesses and acquitted the co-accused persons.It is alleged that the father of the deceased was earning only `2,700/- per month and was admittedly spending `2,000/- towards house rent, thus, he could not have spent `1 lakh Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 3 of 12 on the marriage as alleged by the Prosecution.The essential ingredient for an offence under Section 304B IPC is that soon before the death there should be cruelty for demand of dowry.The same has not been proved by the Prosecution.As per the allegations the demands were only after 1 month of marriage and thereafter there was no demand.The matter was compromised between the parties and after the compromise there is no allegation of harassment for demand of dowry.Reliance is placed on Appasaheb and Anrs.The Appellant has already undergone a sentence of 4 years.It is further stated that the Appellant is the only son and has an old and aged widowed mother.There is no one to look after the child as the mother has already died.Besides abrasions, there were burn injury marks on the body of the deceased.As per the opinion of PW18, injury Nos. 1 and 4 could be caused by red hot iron object and injury No.2 could be caused by exposing the area over heated substance interposed by clothes.Thus, the factum that the deceased was harassed for demand of dowry soon before her death and she died an unnatural death within 7 years of her marriage has been proved.There being no merit in the Appeal, the same deserves to be dismissed.A. 245/2001 Page 4 of 12I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the records.In the present case there are three sets of evidences which clearly inculpate the Appellant.The first is of PW1 Mohd. Shamim Khan, a friend of the father of Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 5 of 12 the deceased, PW4 Nasir Ahmed, the father, PW7 Nasir Ahmed, the brother and PW8 Mehraj Begum, the mother.All these witnesses have deposed that though there was no demand of dowry at the time of marriage, however, after about one month of the marriage there was a demand of fridge, TV and gold chain.Since these demands were not met the deceased was ill-treated and was beaten badly.The matter was got reconciled on many occasions with the intervention of friends and relatives but even after reconciliation the accused persons continued to harass her.The suggestion given to these witnesses is that the Appellant had in fact divorced the deceased and it was desired that she should now be taken to the house of her father and mother however, this was not done by PW4 and PW8 and thus, the family of deceased threatened to implicate the Appellant and his family in a false case for daring to divorce her.The Appellant in his defence has produced witnesses who have stated that the father of the deceased was demanding money and since the deceased was not able to fulfill the same she was always perplexed and she was harassed by them.It may be noted that no such suggestion has been given to the prosecution witnesses.I find the contention of the learned counsel for the Appellant not borne from the evidence that after the compromise there was no Crl.From the evidence on record it is proved that there were repeated demands of dowry after a month of the marriage and the matter was sought to be reconciled repeatedly on many occasions but the accused persons continued demanding dowry.The witnesses have consistently stated that a week prior to the incident the deceased came to her parental house where she had expressed apprehension of being killed.Furthermore, on a perusal of their statements it is clear that there was a continuous demand for dowry and harassment in relation thereto by the appellant, as the deceased was incapable of fulfilling the demands raised by them.The testimony of PW1 who is the friend of PW4 also shows that there were demands of dowry and the deceased was given beating even in his presence.He also states that about 1 or 1 month prior to the incident, the deceased told her that she will be killed.A. 245/2001 Page 5 of 12A. 245/2001 Page 6 of 12In relation to dowry deaths, the circumstances sowing the existence of cruelty or harassment to the deceased are not restricted to a particular instance but normally refer to a course of conduct.Such conduct may be spread over a period of time.If the cruelty or harassment or demand for dowry is shown to have persisted, it shall be deemed to be "soon before death" if any other intervening circumstance showing the non-existence of such treatment is not brought on record, before the alleged such alleged treatment and the date of death.It does not, however, mean that such time can be stretched to any period.Proximate and live link between the effect of cruelty based on dowry demand and the consequential death is required to be proved by the prosecution.The demand of dowry, cruelty or harassment based upon such demand and the date of death should not be too remote in time which, under the circumstances, be treated as having become stale enough."The second set of evidence of PW 11 Kumari Mehnaz and PW12 Naeem, the younger sister and brother of the deceased, is a very crucial Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 8 of 12 evidence of the torture meted to the deceased.On the fateful day, that is, 7th June, 1998 they had gone to the house of the deceased at about 10.00 A.M. to get the deceased and the Appellant to their house as their elder sister Nazira was coming to meet the family on that day.These witnesses have stated that Riyazuddin restrained their sister from accompanying them and when she insisted he lifted a Pepsi bottle containing water and hit the same on her hand.When the deceased further insisted the Appellant told her if she had forgotten the previous beatings given to her.He further stated that if she dares to go he will kill her.When her sister still insisted, the appellant started beating her with danda and thus, they returned without the sister accompanying them.The evidence of these two witnesses shows that even on the date of the incident the deceased was assaulted.A. 245/2001 Page 8 of 12The incident in the presence of PW11 and PW12 was about 10.00 A.M. on that day.The Prosecution has produced PW10 Dr. M. Ahmad who stated that about 2.30 or 2.45 P.M. when he had gone to offer namaz in the Masjid the Appellant Riyazuddin had came to him and informed that the condition of his wife i.e. the deceased was serious and he should reach.He went to the residence of the Appellant where the deceased was found unconscious.He gave her an injection and certain medicines and asked the Appellant to wait for some time so that she regains her conscious.A. 245/2001 Page 9 of 12"Cause of death kept pending.Viscera preserved and sent to FSL.All injuries are anti mortem in nature and old in duration.Injury No. 1 could be caused by red hot iron object.Injury No. 2 could be cause by exposing the area over heated substance interposed by clothes.Injury No. 4 could be caused by red hot iron object.Time since death is about 13 hours approx.Blood and viscera preserved for toxicological analysis.A. 245/2001 Page 10 of 12My report is ex.PW-18/A which is in my hand bears my sign at point A and is correct.The application for postmortem was accompanied by 10 papers (inquest) which I had inspected and I had put my initials thereon and I identify my initials on inquest papers.The application is ex.PW-18/B which bears my sign at point A. I have seen the Toxicological report from CFSL, Hyderabad which states that Aluminum phosphide was detected in 1A, 1B and 1C exts, so in my view the cause of death was aluminum phosphide poisoning."All this leads to the inference that the deceased was assaulted by the Appellant with Pepsi bottle, danda and also inflicted burn injuries.As per the evidence discussed above all the ingredients of Section 304B IPC, that is, unnatural death, within seven years of marriage, and soon before death cruelty in relation to demand of dowry are fulfilled in the present case.The decisions cited by the learned counsel for the Appellant are on the facts of the said cases and in the present case the prosecution has discharged its onus of proving the case beyond reasonable doubt.There is ample evidence that soon before death, there was continuous torture and harassment in relation to demand of dowry resulting in the unnatural death of the deceased.I also do not find any merit in the contention of learned counsel for the Appellant that since the co-accused have been acquitted on the basis of this evidence, the Appellant is also entitled to be acquitted.The learned Trial Court has acquitted the co-accused persons as there was no overt act attributed to them.As regards the Appellant there is ample evidence of overt act against Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 11 of 12 him.Moreover, in the absence of an appeal against acquittal of the co- accused by the State this Court will not in this appeal return findings.The acquittal of co-accused persons would not entail the Appellant to be acquitted of the charges framed against him.A. 245/2001 Page 11 of 12I find no reason for taking a lenient view as prayed, in the facts of the present case and to reduce the sentence of the Appellant to already undergone, in view of the continuous harassment and gravity of torture meted out to the deceased.I find no infirmity in the impugned judgment.The appeal is accordingly dismissed.The bail bond and the surety bond are discharged.The appellant be taken into custody to undergo the remaining sentence.(MUKTA GUPTA) JUDGE NOVEMBER 30, 2010 vn Crl.A. 245/2001 Page 12 of 12A. 245/2001 Page 12 of 12

(a) P.W. 1 is the prosecutrix in this case.The father of the prosecutrix is running a cycle tube puncture shop and the mother of the prosecutrix, P.W. 2, is running a tiff in stall.and opposite to his house he is having a portion of a Dharga premises and used the same as a rice grinding shop and he used to accept the rice from the public for grinding with charges.On 7-2-1995, at 6.00 p.m., P.W. 1 went to the place where the accused was having his rice grinding shop and gave rice for grinding and the accused said that she can come collect the rice batter on the next day morning.Thereafter, P.W. 1 went to the house of the accused on the next day morning at 3.00 a. m. and the accused asked her to go to the Dharga and take the rice batter from there, which was kept by him.When P.W. 1 went inside the Dharga the accused also followed her and closed the doors of the Dharga and when P.W. 1 questioned, the accused put a cloth on her mouth, pushed her down and removed her dresses and committed sexual assault on her.Thereafter, the accused is also said to have threatened P.W. 1 that if she informs anyone, he will kill her.P.W. 1 started weeping and left from that place.As she was frightened due to the threat of the accused, she has not informed anyone about the occurrence including her parents.Thereafter, P.W. 2, mother of P.W. 1 and father of P.W. 1 went and questioned the accused along with P.W. 1 and even at that time the accused is said to have threatened all of them with dire consequences.On the same day, P.W. 1 went to D-2, Anna Salai Police Station along with her mother P.W. 2 and father.(b) P.W. 8, the Inspector of Police, stated that P.W. 1 came on 14-2-1995 and informed him about the occurrence and the same was recorded by a person accompanied with her.Ex.

No. 341 of 1996 by the judgment dated 19-12-1997 convicting the appellant under Section 376 I. P.C. and sentencing him to undergo two years rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs. 5000/-, in default, to undergo six months rigorous imprisonment and also convicting the appellant under Section 506 (ii) I.P.C. and sentencing him to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs. 2,500/-, in default, to undergo three months rigorous imprisonment.This is an unfortunate case wherein, the accused is alleged to have committed the offence of sexual assault inside a sacred place viz., Dharga.The accused faced the trial in the following backdrop:Thereafter, he has sent P.

P. 10 is the medical examination certificate issued by the doctor, P.W.7, in respect of the accused.(g) P.W. 8 has also sent the seized clothes for chemical examination under Ex. P. 18, Requisition.P.W. 8 also examined the doctors, P. Ws. 6 and 7, and recorded their statements.After completion of investigation.P.W. 8 filed the charge sheet against the accused on 26-6-1995 for the offences under Section 376 and 506 (ii) I. P.C.The prosecution, in order to bring home the charges levelled against the accused, examined P. Ws. 1 to 8, filed Exs.P. 1 to P. 23 and marked M. Os.When the accused was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in respect of the incriminating materials appearing against him through the evidence adduced by the prosecution, the accused denied his complicity and he has stated that he has been falsely implicated in this case.Learned Counsel for the appellant further contended that the entire prosecution case rests on the sole testimony of P.W. 1, the prosecutrix and her evidence is self contradictory and the conduct of P.W. 1 not informing about the occurrence to anyone for more than a week throws considerable doubt about her version.It is also contended by the learned Counsel for the appellant that the explanation given by P.W. 1 that she has not informed anyone including her parents on the ground that she was threatened by the accused not to inform any one is also unacceptable.Learned Counsel for the appellant also contended that though the father and the mother of the prosecutrix, P.W. 1, are said to have accompanied her for giving the report, Ex. P. 1, they have not attested Ex. P. 1 and the non examination of the father of P.W. 1 is also fatal to the prosecution case.Last but not the least submission made by the learned Counsel for the appellant is that the medical evidence totally belies the prosecution case as the doctor has not found any external injury or marks of violence on P.W. 1 and further the evidence of the doctor, P.W. 6, shows that P.W. 1 was accustomed to sexual intercourse.Per contra, Mr. Muniapparaj, learned Government advocate (Crl. Side) submitted that the evidence of P.W. 1, prosecutrix, is quite natural and the same is not suffering from any infirmities.It is further contended by the learned Government Advocate that the delay in informing anyone about the occurrence on the part of P.W. 1 is not fatal to the prosecution case, more particularly in a case of rape, as the victim always hesitates to disclose the occurrence to anyone.The learned Government advocate (Crl.It is also pointed out by the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) that apart from P.W. 2, P.W. 3 also corroborated the version of P.W. 2 about P.W. 1 giving the report to the police.I have given my careful and anxious consideration to the rival contentions put forward by either side.As far as P.W. 2, the mother of the prosecutrix, P.W. 1, is concerned, she has been examined to speak about the disclosure of the alleged offence of sexual assault committed on her daughter/P.W. 1, as she had informed her about the occurrence nearly after seven days.No fresh.As rightly contended by the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side), the conviction can be passed on the solitary evidence of the prosecutrix if the same is reliable and acceptable.The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held in State of M.P. v. Dayal Sahu reported in 2005 Crl.L.J. 4375 that, Once the statement of prosecutrix inspires confidence and accepted by the Courts as such, conviction can be passed only on the solitary evidence of the prosecutrix and no corroboration would be required unless there are compelling reasons which necessitate the Courts for corroboration of her statement.In this case, it is the version of P.W. 1 that as per the instruction of her mother/P.W.2, she went to the rice grinding shop of the accused on 7-2-1995 evening at 6.00 p.m. and the accused informed her to come and collect the rice batter on the next day morning at 3.00 a.m. Therefore she went to the house of the accused at 3.00 a.m. on the next morning and the accused asked her to go and take the rice batter which was kept inside the Dharga, adjacent to the house of the accused.Thereafter she went inside the Dharga and took the rice batter and at that time the, accused is said to have closed the door of the Dharga and committed the offence of sexual assault on her forcibly.It is also stated by P.W. 1 that at the time of the alleged occurrence, the accused is said to have caught hold of her hands and made her to lie down forcibly and thereafter removed her jacket and dresses and committed the sexual assault.After the occurrence, she, started weeping and returned back to her house, but, she has not disclosed anything about the occurrence to her parents as she was frightened since the accused threatened her not to disclose about the same to anyone.It is the further case of P. W, 1 that she was continuously weeping up to 14-2-1995 and when her mother/P.W. 2 and her father questioned her on 14-2-1995, she had informed her mother about the occurrence and at that time her father was also present in the house.It is also admitted by P.W. 1 in her cross-examination that while she was weeping from 7-2-1995 to 14-2-1995, in spite of her parents asking her the reason for her weeping she has not disclosed about the occurrence, P.W. 1 went on to state further in the chief examination itself that after disclosing about the occurrence to her mother/P.W. 2 and her father, both her father and P.W. 2, her mother, went and enquired the accused about his conduct along with her and even at that time the accused is said to have threatened all of them with dire consequences.But the fact remains that P.W. 2 has not whispered a word about enquiring the accused after the disclosure made by her daughter, P.W. 1 in respect of the occurrence and also the accused threatening them with dire consequences.P.W. 2 has simply stated that on the disclosure of the occurrence by P.W. 1, she went to the police station to give the report along with her daughter, P.W. 1, and her husband and the occurrence was narrated to the police by P.W. 1, her daughter, which was reduced into writing by the police.P.W. 3, who is the neighbour of P.W. 2, is said to have attested the report.It is also admitted by P.W. 2 that she only asked P.W. 1 to gel rice batter from the shop of the accused at 3.00 a.m. It is also pertinent to note that in the report, Ex. P.1, given by P.W. 1, it is stated that the accused asked her to come and collect the rice batter on the next day morning and only P. W, 1, on her own, went to the house of the accused at 3.00 a.m. and therefore, the present version of P.W. 1 to the effect that the accused asked her to come and collect the rice batter on the next day morning at 3.00 a.m. is proved to be false.Further, the explanation given by P. W, 1 for going to the house of the accused at wee hours is that since it was Ramzan fasting period, she went at 3.00 a.m, to collect the rice batter is also, on the face of it, unbelievable.P.W. 2, mother of P.W. 1, has not whispered a word about this explanation and she has simply stated; that she only asked her to get the rice batter at 3.00 a.m. Added to these infirmities in the evidence of P, W. 1, P.W. 1 also stated in her cross-examination that during the occurrence she has sustained scratches on her hand and she has shown the scratches to the doctor, P.W. 6 and further the doctor, P.W.6, also put medicine on those injuries.But the fact remains that the doctor; P.W.6, has not stated anything about seeing neither scratch injuries nor nail marks on P.W. 1 and on the other hand, the Doctor, P.W. 6 stated that PW1 could have had sexual intercourse and he has not found any fresh wounds and marks of violence.Even during the investigation of P.W. 8, Inspector of Police, P.W. 1 has not stated that she suffered any blood stained injuries on her hand.The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held in Sudhansu Sekhar Sahoo v. State of Orissa , Rape sole testimony of prosecutrix Prosecutrix an unmarried educated woman travelling along with accused at night in a jeep for long distance allegedly for meeting her superior officer - She alleging that accused raped her in his house when they reached there - Her conduct unusual.No rational explanation given as to what urgent official work was there at night.Medical evidence not corroborating her version - No stains of blood or semen on her clothes.She asserting that she was virgin till alleged incident however medical evidence revealing that she was habituated to sex - Many loose ends in prosecution case - Accused entitled to benefit of doubt.In yet another decision relating to the case of rape in Uday v. State of Karnataka reported in 2003 SCC (Cri) 775 : 2003 Cri LJ 1539, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that.The Court must also weigh the evidence keeping in view the fact that the burden is on the prosecution to prove each and every ingredient of the offence, absence of consent being one of them.Therefore, in view of the above principles of taw laid down by the Apex Court in respect of rape cases, the evidence of P.W. 1 is highly suspicious as she has not suffered any injury, much less any marks of violence were found on her, coupled with the fact that the medical evidence disclosed that she was accustomed to sexual intercourse and her abnormal conduct of going to the house of the accused at the wee hours at 3.00 a.m. in spite of her version in Ex. P. 1 that the accused asked her to come and collect the rice batter only on the next day morning, it is not possible to rule out that the prosecutrix, P.W. 1, is a consenting party for the sexual act said to have been committed by the accused.There is also serious doubt about the genuineness of Ex. P. 1, the report, said to have been given by P.W. 1, It is the case of P.W. 1 that she went along with her father and mother/ P.W. 2 to the police station to give the report.Further P.W. 1 stated that the report was written by a person accompanied with them and thereafter, she has affixed her thumb impression.But P.W. 1 has not mentioned the name of the person who wrote Ex. P. 1, on the other hand, P.W. 2, mother of P.W. 1, stated that she went to the police station on 14-2-1995 along with her daughter and her husband and her daughter P.W. 1, narrated about the occurrence which was reduced into writing by P.W. 8, Inspector of Police.Inspector of Police, has stated that some other person wrote Ex. P. 1 and he was also not able to give the name of that person and further, it is admitted by P.W. 8, Inspector of Police, that it is not recorded in Ex. P. 1 that the contents of Ex. P. 1 were read over to P.W. 1 and P.W. 1, after accepting the contents, affixed her thumb impression.the report.There is no doubt that the offence of rape is a very serious offence and also inhuman on the part of any person committing such a sexual assault on innocent victim girls.Such serious and grave offenders should be dealt with all seriousness and if the offence is proved, they should be punished with adequate sentence and at the same time, the Court should also guard against false and frivolous cases.The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has held in Rang Bahadur Singh v. State of U. P. that, (Para 22 of Cri LJ) The time tested rule is that acquittal of a guilty person should be preferred to conviction of an innocent person.Unless the prosecution establishes the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt a conviction cannot be passed on the accused.The following infirmities in the evidence of P.W. 1, as stated above, cannot be overlooked:(i) The conduct of P.W. 1 going to the house of the accused at wee hours, at 3.00 a.m. in spite of the specific statement in her report, Ex. P1, that the accused asked her to come and collect the rice batter only on the next morning, throws considerable doubt about the veracity of her version.The medical evidence of the doctor, P.W. 6, to the effect that P.W. 1 was accustomed to sexual intercourse also raises doubt about the alleged commission of sexual assault on her by the accused.(iii) The conduct of PW. 1 that in spite of her weeping right from the alleged date of occurrence on 8-2-1995 till 14-2-1995 and in spite of her being questioned by her parents, the non-disclosure about the occurrence till 14-2-1995 is unbelievable and unacceptable.(v) P.W. 1 's version about giving report to the police is also falsified by several infirmities viz., P.W. 1 stated that she went along with her mother, P.W.2 and her father to the police station and on her narration, one person recorded the version in Ex. P. 1 and thereafter she affixed her thumb impression in the report, Ex. P. 1 and the same was given to the police is also falsified by the version of other witnesses.P.W. 2, her mother, stated that the narration of P.W. 1 about the occurrence was reduced into writing by P.W. 8, inspector of Police.Added to these inconsistent versions, P.W. 3, the attesting witness and P.W. 8, the Inspector of Police, have not stated that P.W. 1 was accompanied with her mother/P.W. 2 and her father.

CRL.A. 518/2010 MOBIN & ANR ..... Appellants versus STATE & ANR ..... Respondents Through : Mr. Imtiaz Ahmed, counsel for the appellants in Crl.Mr. M.N. Dudeja, APP on behalf of the State CORAM:The appellants Mobin and Moin impugn a judgment and order of Learned Ms. Mamta Tayal, Additional Sessions Judge, Dwarka Court, Delhi, dated 21.02.2010 in SC No. 64/ 2009, by which they were convicted of the offence punishable under Sections 302/34 IPC.They were sentenced to undergo life imprisonment and fined a sum of `10,000 each.In default of payment of fine the convicts would further undergo simple imprisonment for 6 months each.For the offence under Section 323/34 IPC, they were further sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment Crl.A. Nos.142/2004 & 518/2010 Page 1 for three months each.Mohsin impugns an earlier judgment dated 02-1-2002, in the same Sessions case, by which he was convicted for the same offences, in respect of the same incident.It may be noticed that the prosecution took the matter to trial in two stages.Accused Moin and Mobin could not be arrested, and were declared proclaimed offenders.The Prosecution's story is that one Amir Ahmed used to reside in H. No. 109, Pocket- 8, Durga Park, Dabri, New Delhi, and his son Naeem used to reside at H. No. 120, in the same locality.One Lukman was a tenant in Naeem's House.Mobin, Moin, Mohsin, Rukshana, and Bashir (the accused) were also residents of the same colony.The accused and the family had requested Amir Ahmed to get the matter compromised, but he had refused, and this had led to animosity between the two families and the accused used to frequently threaten Amir Ahmed's family.The prosecution alleged that on 28.8.1998, at about 5.00 PM, Naeem Ahmed and his tenant Lukman had bought an asbestos sheet from the Masjid, to repair the leaking roof of their house, and were keeping it outside their house, when Mobin went to them asking why they had brought the sheet.On being countered by Naeem Ahmed, he threatened him and left the place.In a short while, just after a few minutes, he returned with his other family members- Rukshana, Bashir, Mohsin (all three convicts) and Yasin @ Asim (JCL).Moin had a churra in his hand and Mobin had an iron rod.Moin attacked Naeem Ahmed with the churra and caused a stab injury on his forehead.Mobin attacked Naeem Ahmed and his father Amir Ahmed with the iron rod.Rukshana, her husband Munna, and her brothers Mohsin and Asim kicked and punched Naeem Ahmed, his father, Amir Ahmed and his wife Shammi.Amir Ahmed was injured on his head, Crl.A. Nos.142/2004 & 518/2010 Page 2 face and other parts of his body and was bleeding profusely.He ran from the spot to make a call to the police, but fell down on the way.All the accused persons fled from the place of occurrence.The police were informed and the injured were taken to the hospital, where Amir Ahmed was declared brought dead.PW-5 Naeem Ahmed the complainant stated that on 28.08.1998, at about 05.00 PM., he had brought some cement sheets from a Masjid, to his house with the help of his tenant Mohd. Lukman (PW- 9), to repair of the roof.Mobin, who was also a resident of the Colony, went and inquired why he had bought cement sheets.He replied asking him why he was asking him about it.Mobin went away and returned with his brother Moin, Mohsin, Rukshana, Asim, and Bashir @ Munna.Mobin was carrying an iron rod and Moin had a churra with him.All of them attacked him, and then Mobin attacked him and his father with the iron rod.His father suffered an injury on his head.All this happened outside his house.They again caught hold of his father and attacked him with the rod and the churra.On hearing cries, his wife came out.She too was beaten by all of them and suffered injuries on her back.PW-5 was injured on his forehead and shoulder with the iron rod.The police arrived and they were taken to Safdarjung Hospital.His father had died at the spot due to injuries.The assailants fled from the spot.In cross examination, he correctly identified Mobin and Moin in Court.He also spoke about Anwar, the brother in law of the two accused, who had been arrested on charges of rape.He said that the two accused and their family members had asked his father Amir Ahmed, the deceased, to compromise the matter with their neighbour, (whose daughter, he had allegedly raped).But his father had refused, and this had led to them nursing a grudge against his father.PW-15 Shammi, the second eye-witness is the complainant's wife.08.1998, her husband had bought a concrete sheet from a mosque.Mobin @ Guddu saw the sheet at their house, objected to it, and started quarrelling with her husband at about 5.00 pm.Her father-in-law was also present there at that time.Then he left, but returned just a few minutes later with co-accused Moin and other members of his family, namely, Mohsin, Rukshana, Bashir, Munna and Asim.Mobin had an iron rod and Moin had a churra and they attacked her father in law, who sustained injuries on his head.They assaulted her husband and her as well.She said that two-three days before the incident, the accused's family members Crl.A. Nos.142/2004 & 518/2010 Page 5 sought the deceased's help, to arrive at a compromise with his neighbour, Panditji, whose daughter, Anwar, the brother-in-law of the two accused had allegedly raped.But he had refused, due to which they bore ill- will against them.In the cross- examination, she stated that she went to the immediate vicinity of the incident only after hearing the cries.She said that she was assaulted by Rukshana and the others, and could not remember who had actually hit her as they were all together.She stated that she was attacked by a wooden danda.PW-8 Mohd. Shamshad, a mason by profession, was, on the day of the incident, called by Naeem (PW-5), to install a concrete sheet at his house.He reached there at about 4.15 PM.He met Naeem and Lukman (PW-9).In his presence, the two accused Mobin and Moin came there, and asked Naeem and Lukman as to with whose permission, they had taken the concrete sheet from the Masjid.An altercation took place between them and in the meanwhile other family members of the accused came there armed with danda and Churri.Amir Ahmed, father of Naeem also came there.He was also attacked, and sustained serious injuries on his head and face.Charges were framed against the other accused, Ruksana, Mohsin, and Bashir.Yasin, being a juvenile, was referred to the Juvenile Justice Board.By judgment and order dated 4-1-2002, Ruksana and Bashir were acquitted of the charges of having committed the offence under Sections 302 IPC; they were convicted for the offences under Sections 323/34 IPC and given probation.Mohsin was however, convicted for the offence punishable under Section 302/34 IPC.Later, after arrest of the other accused, Moin and Mobin, they were sent to trial.The learned Additional Sessions Judge, by another judgment dated 20-01-2010, convicted them of the offences under Sections 302/323/34 IPC and sentenced them inter alia, to undergo life imprisonment, besides other prison terms and fine.Rukshana, Mohsin, Bashir and Yasin were arrested immediately and sent for trial.A separate trial was initiated against the Juvenile Yasin and he was acquitted by the juvenile board.Mobin and Moin evaded arrest for five years.They were declared PO, but were subsequently arrested, charge sheeted and their case was committed to Sessions.A separate trial SC No. 64/09 was initiated against them.They were charged under Sections 302/323/ 34 IPC, they pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.Over the course of the trial 19 witnesses were produced by the Prosecution.The Trial Court relied on testimonies of the two injured witnesses PW-5 Naeem Ahmed and PW-15 on the basis that not only were they injured witnesses, (which added a special credence to their testimonies as it conclusively proved that they were eye-witnesses to the entire incident, as per the Supreme Court in Jarnail Singh v. State of Punjab (SC) 2009 (4) R.C.R Criminal 253); but also because they had been consistent in their statements, and had withstood the rigours of cross examination.They had deposed in the trial of Rukshana, Mohsin and Munna, and had been consistent there as well.He had also deposed that his clothes had been blood-stained.It was argued that the Trial Court failed to consider the fact that in the trial against Mohsin, Rukshana and Bashir, PW-5 had deposed that Mohsin had been holding the churra, but in this trial he had deposed that Moin had been wielding the churra.The Trial Court, says counsel, failed to appreciate the fact that PW-5 had stolen the asbestos sheet from the mosque, and hence an angry mob from the mosque had attacked PW-5, PW-15 and the deceased, and that when Amir Ahmed ran away to make a call to the police, he slipped on the stairs and hurt himself.This aspect was material during the trial.It was argued that the Trial Court had failed to appreciate that Mobin had been in Aligarh at the time of the incident as was deposed by DW-1, a police officer who stated that he had come to the Police Station to report that this purse was missing.It was argued that there were three eyewitnesses, who had spoken about the attack, and the surrounding facts, during the investigation.The deceased's son and daughter in law too supported this version.This was backed by the evidence of PW-9; and so, the accused's effort to discredit such ocular testimonies was unsuccessful.The attack on the deceased, as well as the injured eyewitnesses was corroborated by independent documentary evidence.It was next submitted that though the incident was the result of a quarrel, which took place between the deceased and the Appellants, the further circumstance that the latter used dangerous or deadly weapons, proved their intention which was to murder the deceased.The police were informed; they arrived at the scene and took the injured to the hospital.He made a statement to the Police.He also stated that Mobin had an iron rod and Mohsin had a churra.In his cross examination, he stated that his statement was recorded after fifteen daysPW-9 Mohd. Lukman was a tenant in the complainant's (PW-5's) house.At 4/4.15 PM, Naeem and PW-9 had bought a cement sheet from a nearby Masjid and placed it outside their house.Naeem had also called a mason to install the sheets.When they were fixing the sheets Mobin came; there was a verbal dispute between him and Amir Ahmed (the deceased, father of Naeem).Supporters from both sides started pelting stones at each other.Amir Ahmed sustained injuries on his head, Naeem sustained injuries above his eye.By this time, the police arrived and Naeem and Amir Ahmed were taken to the hospital.This witness could not recall the weapons carried by Mobin and the other accused persons.He was cross- examined as he partly resiled from his Section 161 statement.He was questioned on whether Mobin had been carrying an iron rod and whether Naeem and Amir Ahmed, (the deceased) had been attacked with a knife and a rod.He said he could not remember such details as the incident had taken place about eleven years back.But he did state that on the day of the incident, he had told the police whatever he had seen.It is settled law that where the prosecution case is based on the evidence of eye witnesses, the existence or non-existence of motive, sufficiency, or its insufficiency will not play Crl.A. Nos.142/2004 & 518/2010 Page 6 a major role as it would, in a case which is based on circumstantial evidence.If the prosecution is able to prove its case on motive it will be a corroborative piece of evidence.But even if the prosecution has not been able to prove its case on motive, that will not be a ground to throw overboard the prosecution case because merits of the prosecution will have to be decided on the basis of the merits of the evidence of such witnesses ((1993 Cri LJ 1656)Jarnail Singh v. State of Haryana).Moin reached there, and a quarrel between him and the deceased (father of PW-5) took place.Moin went away, and reached the spot, this time with other accused.A fight or altercation appears to have occurred, in the course of which the deceased received fatal injuries.This is corroborated by PW-8, the mason called in to fix the asbestos sheet, and PW-15, the deceased's daughter in law.The use of a churri or sharp edged weapon, and also of a danda (stick) is proved independently, through the testimony of PW-11, the postmortem doctor, who in his report listed five injuries on the deceased.Interestingly, PW-9 also mentioned that when the attack took place, both sides were attacking each other and pelting stones.The injuries on the eyewitnesses Naeem and others was corroborated by the MLCs placed on the record.The testimony of Naeem (PW-5) is that Mobin had an iron rod; Moin had a churra (dagger).However, the testimonies of PW-8 and PW-9, the other two eyewitness, are unclear as to who was armed with what weapon.The injuries - testified to by PW-16, which caused the death of Amir Ahmed, were the result of rod, or danda blows (Injury Nos. 2 and 5).The doctor also stated that Injury Nos. 3 and 4 could have been caused by a fall on the ground.The question, in these circumstances, is as to what was the intention of the accused, and whether all of them would be guilty of the same offence.It would now be necessary to consider whether the prosecution, which has successfully proved the presence and identity of the Appellants before the court, was able to prove that they had the common intention with the aggressor, so as to be criminally responsible Crl.A. Nos.142/2004 & 518/2010 Page 7 for murder.A lacerated wound on the left side of scalp was found.The appellant went to him (the deceased) to question as to why he had transferred his lands.The appellants on bail are directed to surrender to the Trial Court and undergo remainder of their sentences.The matter Crl.

(i) PW.1 is the daughter of the deceased.PW.2 is the husband of PW.1.PW.3 is another daughter.The accused, in the instant case, is the youngerbrother of the deceased.They were the residents of

certificate Ex.P.3 wherein he has opined that the deceasedwould appear to have died due to head injury, about 10-12 hours prior toautopsy.(vi) Pending investigation, the accused was arrested on 24.11.2004.During investigation, the accused gave a confessional statement and theadmissible part of that evidence was marked as Ex.Pursuant to theconfession, he produced an aruval MO.1 in the presence of witnesses and the samewas recovered under the cover of mahazer Ex.(viii) On completion of the investigation, PW.12 filed a final reportagainst the accused/appellant as per the charges.The case was committed to theCourt of Sessions.Necessary charges were framed.In order to substantiate the charges levelled against the accused, theprosecution examined 12 witnesses and relied on 14 Exhibits and 9 MOs.Oncompletion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused wasquestioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. on the incriminating circumstances found inthe evidence of the prosecution witnesses, which was flatly denied on the partof the accused.No defence witness was examined.The trial Court after hearingthe arguments advanced by either side and on considering the materials availableon record, took the view that the prosecution has proved its case beyondreasonable doubts and found the accused/appellant guilty of the charges andawarded punishments as referred to above.Aggrieved over the same, the accusedhas brought forth this appeal before this Court.Advancing his arguments on behalf of the appellant, Mr. K.ThirumalaiRaj, learned senior counsel appearing for the appellant, would submit asfollows:-(i) In the instant case, the prosecution has only two eye-witnesses viz.PW.1 was the daughter.PW.2 was the son-in-law of the deceased.The deceased was actually in inimical terms with the accused since there was aland dispute.Thus, PW.1 and PW.2 were not only interested in the deceased butalso inimical to the accused.Their evidence if scrutinised should have beenrejected by the trial Court.(ii) Apart from that, their evidence is not only inconsistent to eachother but also self-contradictory.Under the circumstances, their evidence isnot worth mentioning to connect the accused with the crime.(iii) The ocular testimony projected by PW.1 and PW.2 was nevercorroborated with the medical evidence.(iv) The arrest, confession and the alleged recovery were all cooked upaffairs in order to strengthen the prosecution case.Thus, the prosecution hadno evidence worth mentioning to offer.(v) Even assuming that the prosecution has proved the fact that it was theaccused, who attacked the deceased and thereby caused death, it was neitherintentional nor deliberate because even as per the evidence of PW.1 and PW.2,there was a quarrel and in the quarrel, the accused attacked with aruval.However, injuries were found to be simple and actually, the occurrence had takenplace in the natural course.PW.7 Doctor has given his opinion that the injuryfound on the skull was the bane for his death and that would be possible byfalling on the ground also, for which the accused cannot be found guilty.(vi) Even though if the act of the accused found to be proved, it wouldonly attract the penal provision of Section 324 of IPC.Accordingly, this legalaspect has got to be considered by this Court.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the abovecontentions.The Court paid its utmost attention to the submissions and made athorough scrutiny on the entire materials available on record.It is not a fact in controversy that one Sankar, the father of PW.1 wasdied out of homicidal violence in the occurrence that took place on 23.11.2004.Following the inquest made by the investigator, the dead body of the deceasedwas subjected to post-mortem by Doctor PW.7, who has given his opinion in Ex.P.3post-mortem certificate that the deceased died out of head injury, about 10 -12 hours prior to autopsy.The fact that the deceased died out of homicidalviolence was never questioned by the appellant at any stage of the proceedings.Hence, it has got to be recorded factually so.In order to substantiate the fact that it was the accused/appellant whoattacked him and caused his death, the prosecution has marched two witnesses.Itis true, PW.1 is the daughter and PW.2 is the son-in-law of the deceased.It isthe well settled position of law that merely on the ground of relationship ofthe witnesses, their evidence cannot be discarded.In the instant case, PW.1 andPW.2 have clearly spoken in one voice that when they were nearing the deceased,actually, there was a quarrel between the deceased and the accused, in which,the accused took an aruval and attacked the deceased on the head and not-satisfied with that, he took a towel and pressed his neck and the deceased diedinstantaneously.When PW.1 and PW.2 tried to rescue him, they were criminallyintimidated.The ocular testimony stood fully corroborated by the evidence ofPW.7 who opined that injury No.5 found on the skull was the reason for thedeath.The evidence of PW.1 and PW.2 inspires the confidence of the Court.Hence, the contention put-forth by the learned counsel for the appellant thatmerely falling on the ground, such an injury could be inflicted and that otherinjuries were simple and the death had not been brought out by the act of theaccused cannot be countenanced.Yet another circumstance is the recovery of weapon of the crime fromthe accused pursuant to his confession, which was recorded by the investigatorin the presence of two witnesses.That part of evidence remains unshakendespite the cross-examination.The lower Court has thoroughly accepted thatpart of evidence.All these would go to show that the prosecution has proved the factthat it was none but the accused who attacked his brother and caused his death.The accused had attacked the deceased with an aruval and injury No.5was actually caused by him.It is evident from the ocular testimony, whichstood fully corroborated by the medical evidence.It would be quite clear that this wordyaltercation caused sudden provocation in attacking the deceased with an aruvaland causing his death.However, the contention put-forth by the learned counselfor the appellant that the act would attract only Section 324 IPC can not beaccepted.However, the Court is of the considered opinion that it will beappropriate to convict the appellant under Section 304 (Part - II) of IPC andawarding 5 years of rigorous imprisonment would meet the ends of justice.Accordingly, the conviction and sentence under Section 302 and 506 (2) of IPCare set aside.Instead, the appellant/accused is convicted under Section 304(Part II) of IPC and awarded five years rigorous imprisonment.Fine amount, ifany, was already paid by the appellant under section 302 IPC, the same shall berefunded to the appellant.The conviction and sentence under Section 506(2)IPC are confirmed.The sentences are to run concurrently.The period of sentencealready undergone by the appellant shall be given set off.The Criminal Appealis disposed of accordingly.1.The Principal Sessions Judge, Dindigul.2.Inspector of Police, Eriyodu, Eriyodu Taluk, Dindigul District.(Crime No.309/2004).3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court, Madurai.

Abhinav Sarup Sharma lodged a complaint with the police that on 2.4.2005, he went to drop his cousin sister (Buaji's daughter) in Ram Nagar, Tilak Nagar.At about 12.30 -1.00 P.M., while he was returning to his home, the present petitioner Sh.Raj Crl.P.228/2008 Page 1 of 8 Kumar Sharma who happens to be his Uncle came in front of him and hit him on the head with a baseball bat.P.228/2008 Page 1 of 8In the meantime, the grandfather of the complainant Anand Sarup Sharma also came out and shouted that Raj Kumar should eliminate the complainant.Raj Kumar is living in the adjoining portion to his sister's house, who happens to be the Bua of the complainant and whose daughter he had gone to drop.Two boys are alleged to have come out from the residence of Raj Kumar Sharma and started beating the complainant with leg and fist blows.The complainant started bleeding due to injuries as he was hit on the head with a baseball bat.The Uncle and the grandfather of the complainant caught hold of the two arms of the complainant while as the boys took out their belt and started hitting the same over the person of the complainant.Admittedly, in the present case, the attack on the complainant seems to be pre-planned as the same is fortified from the fact that the grandfather of the complainant himself shouted for taking the life of the complainant so that there is no one to chase the pending litigation between the petitioner and his father on the one side and the family of the complainant on the other.So far as the learned counsel for the complainant is concerned, he has contended that the nature of the injuries could not be said to be simple, as admittedly the MLC shows that the complainant had received six stitches and it was only providence which saved the complainant, otherwise the petitioner and his father were bent upon liquidating the complaint.P.228/2008 Page 4 of 8Through: Mr. M.N.Dudeja, APP Mr.A.S.Sharma, Adv.for the complainant.HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE V.K.

(oral)The Uncle of the complainant shouted that since the complainant and his father are contesting litigation against the assailants therefore, if the complainant is eliminated, there will be no one to follow the cases.The wife of Raj Kumar is alleged to have thrown a brick which hit the complainant.The complainant was also hit on the back with the help of a hockey by the grandfather.As a consequence of the entire episode, the complainant is stated to have suffered injuries which were two Contused Lacerated Wounds of 2 Crl.P.228/2008 Page 2 of 8 cms x 0.5 cms and 1.5 cms x 0.5 cms over the mid frontal region of the scalp and the injuries were opined to be simple.P.228/2008 Page 2 of 8The investigating agency filed a charge sheet and the learned Sessions Judge on the basis of the statements and documents on record came to the conclusion that prima facie a case of attempt to culpable homicide is made out, therefore, the petitioner along with the other co-accused persons were charged for an offence under Section 308 IPC.The petitioner feeling aggrieved by this has assailed the said order.I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned APP and the learned counsel for the complainant who is also present.The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that as the nature of injuries on the complainant are opined to be simple by the doctor, therefore, no charge u/S 308 IPC can be sustained.The petitioner in order to support her point has placed reliance on judgments titled Surinder Kumar Vs.State 1996 V AD (Delhi) 345 and P.K.Ghosh Vs.On the basis of these authorities, it has been contended that as in the present case as the injuries were simple and there was no intention or knowledge attributable to the petitioner that it could have resulted in homicide of the complainant, therefore, the charge could not have been framed.P.228/2008 Page 3 of 8P.228/2008 Page 3 of 8The learned APP has contested the arguments of the defence counsel and urged that merely because the nature of injuries are opined to be simple, it does not warrant the dilution of the charge from Section 308 IPC to one u/S 323 IPC.It has been contended that while considering a prima facie case as to whether a charge under Section 308 IPC is made out against the petitioner or not only the nature of injury is to be seen but even other attendant circumstances are also to be borne in mind.P.228/2008 Page 4 of 8I have carefully considered the submissions of all the parties and have also gone through the impugned order as well as the relevant documents.P.228/2008 Page 5 of 8The attack on the complainant was not on the spur of moment.

PW3/A is that the complainant Mohd.Irshad, aged about 25 years was a rickshaw puller who was living on rent alongwith some Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 1 of 12 other persons in house No.14/36, Gali No.1 in front of Arvind Rickshaw Garage, Arya Nagar.He is native of Distt.Madhey Pura, Bihar.On 05.09.2009, after having dinner at Dhaba in Jagat Puri, he was returning home and when he was walking on the pavement of drain (nala) side across Parwana Road, at about 10.00 or 10.15 pm, one motorcycle No.DL-13S-A-2134 stopped near him and two boys, whose names were subsequently revealed as Varun Kumar and 'R' (name withheld being juvenile), showed him a knife and made him to sit on the motorcycle.While Varun Kumar was driving the motorcycle, 'R' was sitting behind him with a knife on his back and they took him to Manglam Marg, AGCR colony.They stopped in front of the house next to Manglam Hospital and after getting down from the motorcycle, they started beating him with belt.Varun also took knife from 'R' and showed the same to him and thereafter 'R' also started beating him with belt and asked him to handover whatever he had or otherwise he would be killed.When Varun tried to put his hand in his pocket, the complainant also put his hand on his pocket and in the meantime, police arrived and saved him.A perusal of the testimony of these two witnesses would reveal that all material aspects including the place of occurrence where the offence was committed, there are material contradictions.As per PW-2 Mr.Sheel Sharma, he was going in his Car bearing registration No.DL-1C-F-0277 and at about 10.15/10.30 PM when he reached near Bus Stand, Jagat Puri, he saw two boys forcibly taking one Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 4 of 12 boy on the point of khukhri on motorcycle No.2134 make Hero Honda Splendor of blue-black colour.He informed the PCR at number '100' and PCR reached.Local police from PS Preet Vihar also reached and they started searching the assailants in the direction in which they had left that place.Across the drain (nala) at some distance they saw both the boys (appellant and the juvenile) giving beating to that boy who was taken away forcibly and both the boys were apprehended.Some other police officials also came there who conducted the proceedings.Police recovered the Khukri with wooden cover from the possession of accused Varun Kumar and sealed and seized the same.He also stated that all the writing work was done in the police station.From his statement, the vital details regarding the incident are :-A. No.105/2012 Page 4 of 12(i) He had seen two boys taking away third boy when he reached in his car near Bus Stand, Jagat Puri.(ii) He saw from the running car that a boy was being taken on the point of Khukri and note complete registration number of the motorcycle i.e. DL-13S-A-2134 make Hero Honda Splendor of blue-black colour as recorded in DD No.38-A (Ex.PW5/A)He also handed over the knife to his associate who put the knife on his (PW-3) back and took him towards AGCR Colony at Manglam Marg where appellant Varun Kumar gave beating to him with belt.The younger boy asked him as to what he was seeing and he replied that he was simply going.The younger boy gave him two-three Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 6 of 12 slaps and the latter one took out a knife and asked him to sit on the vehicle.He was forced to sit on the vehicle.He raised alarm 'bachao- bachao' but he was told that nobody would come to save him.Then the younger boy was handed over the knife and the elder one drove the vehicle.The younger boy continued putting knife on his back and he was brought to Manglam Marg Road, Industrial Area where he was made to get down and beaten with belts 2-4 times.They demanded the money and when he said that he was not having the money, he was shown the knife.After half-an-hour, police arrived and he was saved.It is worthwhile to mention that the DD No.38-A Ex.PW5/A recorded at 10.35 pm at PS Preet Vihar does not contain the name of informant PW-2 Sheel Sharma or his mobile number from which he informed the PCR.Rather DD No.38-A is the information given by Operator through Intercom and from the information recorded, it can be made out that two boys on knife point had taken away towards Preet Vihar.There is no mention of PCR officials leaving for the spot.As per this DD, only ASI Shankar Lal left for the spot to whom this DD was assigned.How the police party reached the spot near Manglam Hospital is again a mystery.In the instant case, even if the offence of extortion is held to be not made out for want of delivery of the property atleast, the offence of attempt to commit extortion is clearly made out.' Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 11 of 12A. No.105/2012 Page 11 of 12The appellant Varun Kumar is aggrieved by the order dated 30.11.2011 vide which the learned ASJ has convicted him for committing the offence punishable under Section 365/398/34 IPC.The appellant was sentenced under Section 365/34 IPC to undergo RI for three years with fine of Rs.500/- and also under Section 398/34 IPC to undergo RI for seven years with fine of Rs.1000/- and both the sentences were ordered to be run concurrently.In brief, the case of the prosecution as made out from the complaint Ex.He prayed for legal action against the offenders.Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 1 of 12A knife was also recovered from the spot.On the basis of endorsement made by ASI Shankar Lal, who alongwith Ct.Satender Kumar reached the spot on receiving DD No.38-A Ex.PW5/A, case FIR no.505/2009 under Sections 365/323/506/34 IPC was registered at PS Preet Vihar and after completion of investigation, chargesheet was filed.The appellant was charged by the Trial Court for the offence punishable under Sections 392/511/34 r/w 397 IPC and Section 367/34 IPC.In order to prove its case, the prosecution examined five witnesses Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 2 of 12 in all i.e. PW-1 HC Johnson - the Duty Officer, PW-2 Mr.A. No.105/2012 Page 2 of 12- the public witness, PW-3 - the complainant/victim, PW-4 HC Satender Kumar who accompanied the IO to the spot and PW-4 ASI Shankar Lal- the Investigating Officer.During his examination under Section 313 CrPC, the appellant/accused has taken the plea that on 05.09.2009 at about 8.00 pm when he was going to Preet Vihar, he was stopped by the police at Jagat Puri Barricade and was asked to show the documents.As he was not having the documents, he was sent home to bring the documents.When he reached the police station alongwith the documents to take back his bike, on his inability to pay Rs.3,000/-, he was put in lock-up and falsely implicated in this case.Believing the testimony of the prosecution witnesses especially the public witness i.e. PW-2 Mr.Sheel Sharma and the complainant PW-3 Mohd. Irshad, learned Trial Court was of the view that the testimony of PW-2 and PW-3 did not suffer from any infirmity and guilt of the accused was proved beyond any reasonable doubt.On behalf of the appellant, it has been submitted that the entire testimony of prosecution witnesses has to be discarded for the reason that material contradictions have appeared on record which are sufficient to disbelieve them.Not only that, the complainant has also deposed in an unnatural manner.The MLC of the complainant revealed that there was no fresh injury at the time of his medical examination, so the testimony of the complainant that he was given beating with belts and Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 3 of 12 attempt to rob him at knife point, has to be rejected in view of the fact that as per the police witnesses, a knife was recovered from the hand of Varun whereas the statement of the complainant PW-3 Mohd. Irshad is that knife was thrown and later on searched by the police officials and recovered.It has been further submitted that about the place of occurrence also there are material contradictions as to whether attempt to rob him was made near drain (nala) or near Manglam Hospital and apart from that while PW-2 has referred to presence of other police officials also near Bus Stand, Jagat Puri when the local police has arrived, no such police official has been examined or cited as a witness by the prosecution.The manner in which the entire story has been concocted makes it unbelievable and appellant is entitled to be acquitted.Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 3 of 12On behalf of State, it has been submitted that the prosecution case has been duly supported by the statements of public witness i.e. PW-2 Mr.9. Learned ASJ has convicted the appellant for the offence punishable under Sections 365/398/34 IPC believing the testimony of the complainant PW-3 Mohd. Irshad as well the public witness PW-2 Mr.Sheel Sharma.(iii) He did not raise any alarm or made an effort to save the victim from the offenders, instead, he preferred not to chase them from safe distance, rather the three left the spot and he continued waiting at the same place for the police to arrive and then the police party and he left in search for them in the direction in which they left.(iv) When he witnessed the occurrence, the victim was given beating by the offenders before taking him away forcibly.(v) Khukri/knife was recovered from the possession of the appellant Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 5 of 12 Varun Kumar.A. No.105/2012 Page 5 of 12Statement of PW-3 Mohd.Irshad, the complainant is to the effect that he was a rickshaw puller.On 05.09.2009 at about 10.00/10.15 pm after taking meal from a Dhaba, he was returning home.When he reached near Bus Stop across the road near drain, two boys came there on motorcycle.Appellant Varun Kumar was carrying a knife who slapped him and made him to sit on the motorcycle.While giving beating to him, the appellant and his associate asked him to handover the money and whatever he was carrying.At that point of time, the police arrived at the spot, apprehended the appellant and his associate, took the keys of the motorcycle and recovered the knife with cover from the pocket of accused Varun Kumar.Thereafter all of them were taken to the police station.He also stated that he made statement under Section 164 CrPC Ex.PW3/B before learned Magistrate.In cross examination, PW-3 Mohd. Irshad has stated that the distance from the place he was taken on the motorcycle and the place where he was beaten is about 750 meters and there was no public person present there.The statement under Section 164 CrPC made by this witness regarding the occurrence is to the effect that when he was returning after having his food, he was stopped by two persons on motorcycle.On seeing the police, the knife was thrown behind.When he informed the police about the knife, police made search for the knife and thereafter they were brought to the police station.Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 6 of 12The MLC of the complainant Mohd. Irshad shows that he was taken to Lal Bahadur Shashtri Hospital, Khichri Pur, Delhi on 06.09.2009 at 7.34 AM with alleged history of assault.Absence of any fresh injury on the body falsifies the statement of the complainant Mohd. Irshad that he was repeatedly given beating with belt by the appellant.Causing injuries with a belt leaves the mark which cannot vanish within 7-8 hours which is the time gap between the occurrence and medical examination.It is relevant to mention here that if three grown up persons are riding on motorcycle, the person on whose back the knife has been put, during driving, the point of knife is bound to Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 7 of 12 leave some injury mark on the back of the victim especially for the reason that date of occurrence is night intervening 5/6-09-2009 when woolen clothes are not worn and if a person is wearing ordinary summer clothes, while riding on motorcycle with force of knife put on the back by another pillion rider, likelihood of being hurt from the point of knife, are very strong.But as already referred, as per MLC there is no injury mark on any part of the body and there was no fresh injury on the person of Mohd. Irsahd.So the entire case of prosecution regarding use of knife in an attempt to commit robbery is falsified from the MLC.A. No.105/2012 Page 7 of 12Statement of PW-4 HC Satender Kumar and PW-5 ASI Shankar Lal regarding who reached the spot whether any police official from PCR was also present there at the spot where Sheel Sharma was waiting for the police or when the local police arrived, is also full of contradictions and in total contrast to what PW-2 and PW-3 stated about the proceedings being conducted which as per them was at the Police Station and as per PW-4 sand PW-5 was at the spot.As per PW-3 the police arrived there of its own and Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 8 of 12 saved him.As per the rukka Ex.PW5/B, the time of arrival of the police near Manglam Hospital is 11.15 pm when they apprehended the appellant and his associate while they were beating the complainant.Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 8 of 12PW-2 Mr.Sheel Sharma in his cross examination has stated that SHO also arrived there in Gypsy.Some police officials were on private motorcycle.One police official sat with him in his car, they left in different directions, the policeman sitting in his car was carrying wireless set and he received the message on wireless set about the apprehension of the appellant and his associate near Manglam Hospital.It is nowhere stated by PW-4 HC Satender Kumar and PW-5 ASI Shankar Lal that one of them was travelling in the car of PW-2 Sheel Sharma or one of them, was carrying wireless set and the other police official conveyed the message on wireless set.The two site plans Ex.PW5/C which is of the place from where the appellant was stated to be apprehended and another Ex.PW5/D which is of the place near Bus Stand, F-Block, Jagat Puri, Delhi have been placed on record.Both are the main roads and place of apprehension is shown in front of house No.A-8 adjoining Manglam Hospital.PW-2 Mr.PW3/B or it was recovered from the pocket of the appellant or it was being used at the time of apprehension of the appellant from the spot.The evidence against the appellant, so far as offence punishable under Section 398 IPC is concerned, is so weak that no conviction could have been passed by learned ASJ for committing the offence punishable under Section 398 IPC.A. No.105/2012 Page 9 of 12The appellant has also been convicted under Section 365 IPC which deals with kidnapping or abduction with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine a person.PW5/C and D, the complainant was allegedly taken from near Bus Stand, Jagat Puri.The appellant and the complainant were found seen by the police in front of the house adjoining Manglam Hospital which is a main road leading to Karkardooma Court which is at a distance of 750 meters from Bus Stand, Jagat Puri.Thus, it cannot be said that there was any intention on the part of the appellant to abduct the complainant with intent to secretly and wrongfully confine him.There is no evidence to prove the guilt of the appellant for committing the offence punishable under Section 365 IPC.Even if reference to the Section under which the appellant was convicted is ignored, from the Crl.A. No.105/2012 Page 10 of 12 statement of PW-3 Mohd. Irshad at the most the case of the prosecution falls under Section 385 IPC.In order to complete the act of extortion the person who was put in fear, must have been induced to deliver the property.If the act of inducement caused by the wrong doer should bring forth its result at least by the victim consenting to deliver property even if actual delivery does not take place due to any fortuitous circumstances which would constitute extortion, but if it falls to produce the requisite effect, the act would remain only at the stage of attempt to commit extortion.The statement of PW-3 Mohd. Irshad at the most proved that while he was returning home after taking food from nearby Dhaba, an attempt was made to commit extortion by asking him to handover whatever he had by putting him in fear of injury.So, believing the testimony of PW- 3 Mohd. Irshad to the extent that the appellant came near him and after putting him in fear of injury asked him to handover whatever he had but the offence could not be completed because of the arrival of the police near Manglam Hospital, the appellant can be convicted only for committing the offence punishable under Section 385 IPC.In view of above discussion, the conviction of the appellant for committing the offence punishable under Section 365 and 398 IPC is set aside and he is convicted for committing the offence punishable under Section 385 IPC.The maximum punishment provided for committing the offence punishable under Section 385 IPC is two years or fine.The appellant is sentenced to undergo RI for one year for the offence punishable under Section 385 IPC.The appellant be released from custody on the completion of sentence of one year.Appeal stands disposed of in above terms.A copy of this order be sent to the Jail Superintendent for necessary compliance.PRATIBHA RANI, J September 14, 2012/'st' Crl.A.
