+"(a), Section 5 r/w 27 of the Arms Act. The gist of theprosecution case relevant for the purpose of this proceedingmay be stated thus: With the growth of industry, commerceand trade in and around the city of Mumbai which generatessubstantial quantity of wealth, there has been increase oforganised activities by gangs of anti-socials to extractmoney from affluent sections of society like developers,hoteliers and other businessmen by putting them in fear ofdeath and then to demand substantial sums of money commonlyknown as ""Khadani"" i.e. protection money.One such gangwas operating in the city under Amar Naik @ Bhai, who dieda couple of years before the decision in the case at anencounter with the police.The prosecution alleged that inpursuance of a criminal conspiracy between 15.1.1994 to16.5.1994 the accused persons and others of the gangembarked upon preparatory acts like procuring theinformation about the names of the builders of M/s KalpataruConstruction Company which was engaged in developing aproperty at Pali Hill, named Nakshatra Building.PW-7Sudhir Tambe was the Senior Vice-President of the companywith its head office at Nariman Point.He used to sit inthe head- office.PW 6 Pachapur, Civil Engineer, was anemployee of the company who used to remain at the site tosupervise the construction.As the prosecution story runs,on 15.4.1994 between 11.30 a.m. and 12.00 noon while PW 6was on duty at the construction site, accused no.3, NitinVasant Venugurlekar armed with revolver and accused No.4Rajindera @ Rajan Mahadeo Margaj armed with a chopper andaccused no.5 Jayendra @ Jai Anandrao Jadhav also armed witha chopper visited the site of Nakshatra Building; theythreatened the workers at the site, forcibly brought PW 6Pachapur in a room on the ground floor and man-handled him.Accused no.3, pointing a revolver at him demanded the name,address and telephone number of the builders.PW 6disclosed the name of PW 7 Tambe and gave his telephonenumber to them.The accused then asked him to go to theoffice of the builders at Nariman Point and make thearrangement for a telephonic talk with Tambe.PW 6 rushedto the office and told Tambe of what had happened at theconstruction site.This was followed by telephonic callsfrom the accused who wanted to speak to Tambe.Attemptswere made by PW 6 and PW 7 to avoid any discussion with thegangsters.Two or three days thereafter when the accusedgot Tambe on the telephone he (Tambe) gave them some othertelephone numbers and asked them to contact those personsincluding one D.N.Ghosh, the Security Contractor.Eight/tendays thereafter again a telephone call was made to theoffice of Tambe which was received by PW 6 who was informedby the person making the call that they could not get D. N.Ghosh on the telephone numbers furnished by Tambe.Thereafter PW 6 handed over the receiver to Tambe.Thisincident was followed by several threats given by thegangsters to workers and also repeated telephone calls madeto the Head Office of the company to contact Tambe.Thestaff of the site office absented from work resulting invirtual closure of construction activity.On 11.5.1994 thedeceased Sanjay Patil telephoned to Tambe and warned himthat he is wasting time and should meet him without furtherdelay.After some days there was one more similar call fromSanjay Patil and he asked Tambe that he should talk to Bhaiand saying so he handed over the receiver to another personwho gave his identity as Amar Naik (since deceased), whotold Tambe that he should pay Rs.10 lacs.The later pleadedhis inability to pay such a heavy sum and after somediscussion agreed to pay Rs.5 lacs.He was asked to come toNakshatra Building site on 16.5.1994 along with money.Inthe meantime Tambe informed all the happenings to the Addl.Commissioner of Police Mr.Sanjeev Dayal and the then Dy.Commissioner of Police of Zone VII Mr. Rajanish Shethwithin whose jurisdiction Khar Police Station fell.On 16.5.1994 at about 12.00 noon the deceased SanjayPatil telephoned Tambe and inquired from him as to what hewas going to do about the payment and then Tambe repliedthat he will be leaving office at about 2.00 p.m. for PaliHill.Sanjay Patil cautioned him that he should not makeany haste and he should wait for his call so that he willtake necessary instructions from his boss i.e. Amar Naik.At about 2.00 p.m. on that day there was a telephone callfrom Sanjay Patil telling that Tambe should not meet him atthe Nakshatra Building site but instead he should meet himnear the Ceaser Palace Hotel.This telephonic conversationwas tape-recorded.Tambe was instructed on telephone thathis man shall carry a white plastic bag containing theamount of Rs.5 lacs and shall wait near the entrance gate ofCeaser Palace Hotel and the person coming to collect thesaid bag will introduce himself as Me Rawanacha Manus Hai.Tambe informed to the DCP all these happenings and handedover the tape in which the telephonic conversation wasrecorded by him.The DCP had made the arrangements to keepa regular watch near the building site.PW 1 Sunil Deshmukhwas deployed to wait in cognito near the gate of the CeaserPalace Hotel and to carry the white plastic bag containingbundles of papers which would give an appearance like thebundles of currency notes.The other officers, who werealso in cognito, had taken their position at strategicpoints near the hotel.At about 4.05 p.m. Sunil Deshmukhnoticed that one red coloured Maruti van halted in front ofthe Ceaser Palace Hotel.He noticed three persons gettingdown from the said van.Those three persons were coming inhis direction, and the van went ahead 50 to 60 feets andhalted there.The deceased Sanjay Patil and the accusedno.7 Bapu Sidhram Gaikwad got down from the said van andaccused no.6 Mohamed Ismail was sitting on the driver seatin the van.Heenquired from PW1 about his identity and when PW 1 repliedthat he has been sent by Tambe Sahib.PW 1 Sunil Deshmukhthen asked that person who are you (Tum Kaun Hai) and thenthe accused no.2 Umesh Bhatt told him that Hum Rawan KeAadmi Hai.L.....I.........T.......T.......T.......T.......T.......T..J J U D G M E N T D.P. MOHAPATRA,J This appeal, filed by accused no.1 Babu KuttanRamkrishna Pillai and accused no.2 Umesh @ Babu PurshottamBhatt of TADA ACT Spl.Thereafter accused no.1 Babu Kuttan extendedhis hand towards PW 1 who delivered the bag to him.At thisjuncture the police officers who were standing nearby incognito rushed to the place and surrounded the threepersons.When the police officers were trying to overpowerthem the deceased Sanjay Patil @ Avinash Amanna and theaccused no .7 Bapu Sidhram Gaikwad came forward withrevolvers in their hands and threatened the police party bysaying they should leave their men or else the policemenwill be killed.Saying so they fired in the direction ofthe police party.At this point PW 1 took out his revolverand pointed it in the direction of the accused and told themwe are all policemen and you should throw away yourrevolvers else we will fire.Even then the accused personsfired some rounds in the direction of the police party, thenPW 1 and one other officer tried to rush towards them butthey sat in the said Maruti van and sped away from theplace.After the situation calmed down, the police drew thepanchnamas Ex.22 in presence of some witnesses andconducted personal search of the three culprits.On suchsearch accused no.1 Babu Kuttan Pillai was found to possessthe plastic bag containing the paper bundles (Art.1),accused no.2 Umesh Bhatt was found to possess a big Rampuriknife which was hidden at the waist under the pant by leftside.After completion of investigation the police submittedthe charge-sheet.The three persons at the spot wereremanded to the police custody.Subsequently, the otheraccused persons were also arrested.They were put to testidentification parade.The learned Trial Judge onappreciation of the evidence on record convicted accusedno.1 Babu Kuttan Ramkrishna Pillai and the accused no.2Umesh @ Babu Purshottam Bhatt for the offence punishableunder section 395 of the Indian Penal Code and sentencedeach of them to suffer rigorous imprisonment of 5 years andto pay a fine of Rs.500, in default of payment of fine toundergo further Rigorous Imprisonment for 6 months.Theywere also convicted under Section 120 B of the IPC but noseparate sentence was passed.They were acquitted of theother offences with which they were charged.The remainingaccused persons i.e. accused nos. 3,4,5,6 and 7 wereacquitted of all the charges framed against them.1 and 2, have filed this appeal assailing the judgmentpassed by the Designated Court at Brihan Mumbai,convicting/sentencing them as above.On a reading of the judgment under challenge, we findthat the learned trial Judge has considered the entire caseled by the prosecution in great detail and after discussingthe charges framed against the appellants under sections3(2), 3(3) and 3(5) of TADA Act, rejected the prosecutioncase on that count.Thereafter the learned trial Judge inparagraph 17 onwards considered the question of what offencewas made out against the appellants.After a detaileddiscussion of the relevant evidence placed by theprosecution and after examining it in the light of thecontentions on behalf of the defence, the learned trialJudge believed the testimony of PW 1- Sunil Deshmukh, PW 7 -Tambe and PW 9 - L.J. Kamble and came to hold that theappellants are guilty of the offence of criminal conspiracypunishable under section 120-B and the offence of dacoitypunishable under section 395 IPC and convicted themthereunder and imposed the punishment as noted earlier.We have perused the evidence of these witnesses.","['Section 395 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 5 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"JUDGMENT R.K. Chowdhry, J.For offences under the last three countsthey were tried by jury and for that under the first with the aid of assessors.The appellants have been sentenced to 3 years' R. I. each under Section 120B, I. P. C. They have also been sentenced to 2 years' R. I. each under Section 161, I. P. C., plus a fine of Rs. 25,000/- in the case of Chari and of Rs. 5,000/- in the case of Vaish.By notification No. 223 of the Government of India in the Department of Supply, dated 25-2-1943, the Deputy Iron and Steel Controllers in various States were authorised to exercise the powers of the Controller.Each State was allotted a quota of the commodity., and the Deputy Iron and Steel Controller, referred to hereinafter as the D. I. S. C., distributed that quota to the stock holders of the State.The first D. I. S. C. in Uttar Pradesh at Kanpur was Sri B. D. Talwar P. W. 31, and the appellant Chari was Assistant Iron and Steel Controller under him.Chari took over as D. I. S. C. from Sri Talwar in the afternoon of 31-12-1945, and held that office until 20-9-1946, when he suddenly left Kanpur without waiting for his leave to be sanctioned by the Controller at Calcutta after handing over charge to Sri.There was an association of stock-holders of iron and steel at Kanpur known as the U. P. Registered Stock-holders Association.Chari was ex officio chairman of the Association.The railway administration was the main source of supply of scrap iron, and for U. P. it was the railway yard at Alambagh.The office of the D. I. S. C. at Kanpur consisted of various sections.The appellants have been convicted for having accepted illegal gratifications in return for favours shown in a number of instances by misuse of Chari's powers as D. I. S. C. of issuing written orders for purchase of iron and steel and for purchase of scrap iron and also his powers of issuing orders for release of material as Chairman of the Stock-holders' Association at Kanpur.Written orders are also said to have been forged to appear as if issued before the aforesaid dates of decontrol, and before the date on which directions were issued in the Conference at Calcutta and both the appellants are said to have been in criminal conspiracy to commit the aforesaid offences.Vaish is said to have accepted illegal gratification in two instances and to have abetted acceptance of illegal gratification by Chari.They made a number of seizures of articles and documents from the residence and office of Chari and from dealers in Kanpur and in various other districts, and L. S. Darbari submitted a charge sheet against the appellants on 2-3-1949 after necessary sanctions under Section 197 Cr. P. Code, and Section 6 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947, had been obtained.Chari admitted having issued after return from the Calcutta conference licences ante dated as anterior to 23-3-1946 but pleaded that he did it so as not to appear to have disregarded the directions given by the Controlled at the said Conference.The other antedatings were denied.The statement of B. D. Soni P. W. 10, Superintendent Stock-holders' Association, to whom Chari addressed the said orders, that these priorities greatly disturbed releases appears therefore to be quite correct.Chari's defence relating to the pieces of furniture was that ""he had given permission to Sher Singh Arora to keep these articles in his office so, that they may serve as advertisement and people may sit on them, because he had told me that he manafactured them.He had written in bold letters, thereon that they have been manufactured in his firm.Arora therefore supplied the revolving chair from his own Kanpur office.That explains why the revolving chair bore the aforesaid inscription.If advertisement had been the object, the inscription would much rather have been on the pieces got specially manufactured at Delhi.Moreover, it would be a strange phenomenon for a D. I. S. C., to lend his office to serve as an advertisement base for the goods of a firm, to say nothing of its being against officers conduct rules.In default of payment of fine, the defaulter is to suffer, further rigorous imprisonment for 6 months.One of these was the civil supplies section which prepared and issued written orders, or licences, for sale of iron or steel by the stock-holders Association at Kanpur in compliance with the orders of the D. I. S. C. on applications of persons for such licenses.Control on scrap Iron lasted till 31-12-1945, the date on which Talwar handed over charge to Chari.With effect from 1-1-1946, scrap iron was decontrolled, vide the General Authorisation Order, Ex. P301 dated 12-12-1945, issued by the Controller along with the letter Ex. 302 of even date to theRailway Board and all Regional D. I. and S. Controllers.With effect from 1-4-1946, iron and steel was decontrolled, vide the letter Ex. P308 from the Deputy Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Industries and Supplies to the Provincial Governments and Chief Commissioners.Mr. E. G. Spooner P. W. 1, the Iron and Steel Controller, held a conference of the Deputy Regional Iron and Steel Controllers at Calcutta on the 25th and 26th of March, 1946, in which it was decided that although iron and steel was to be decontrolled from 1-4-1946, no further licences were to be issued in respect of that commodity, and oral instructions were given accordingly to all the D. I. S. Cs., Including Chari.Both the appellants denied the various charges levelled against them.Examination of the proceedings in the Sessions Court after commitment discloses that the record was received in the Court of the Sessions Judge on 12-5-1952 and on 30-6-1952 and he issued orders that prosecution witnesses be summoned from 25-8-1952 and the defence witnesses from 10-9-1952 onwards, that the accused's counsel be informed to produce them on 25-8-1952 and that 10 jurors be summoned.On 21-7-1952 Chari endorsed a note on the order sheet that he had received information fromhis counsel about his presenting himself in the Sessions Court on 25-8-1952, that he shall, present himself on that date and subsequently during the trial, and that no notice be issued to the sureties.On 24-7-1952 an application along with the list of defence witnesses was sent to the Committing Magistrate.On 14-8-1952 two applications were filed on behalf of Vaish, one for summoning certain defence witnesses and the other for requiring a prosecution witness, the Secretary, Iron and Steel Controller's office Calcutta, to produce a register.On the motion of the public prosecutor and by an order dated 16-8-1952 the Sessions Judge adjourned the sessions trial sine die, and on 29-8-1952 he transferred the case to the Court of Sri B. N. Chaudhari Additional Sessions Judge.On the same date the Additional Sessions Judge ordered summoning of prosecution witnesses from 3-11-1952 and defence witnesses from 18-11-1952 and also the summoning of jurors who had been selected already.Not only was the Sessions Court ready to commence the trial but the accused had appeared before it and witnesses for the prosecution and defence, the latter at the instance of the accused themselves, and jurors had been summoned.I propose to examine the ten instances on which the convictions are based in the order in which they have been dealt with by the learned Additional Sessions Judge.I am considering for the present the charges in respect of which there was jury trial, leaving consideration of the charge of criminal conspiracy to the end.At the same time the payment of bribe was also settled.In the next place, the deception was practised by Chari to derive benefit to himself for, as seen already, he did it to wrest the bribe of Rs. 8,000/- from Sheo Karan Das.The remaining charges against Chari need a more detailed examination.And the first in importance is the one of bribery.The charge under Section 165, I. P. C., in respect of acceptance of furniture by Chari seems to be wrong.The allegation being that the same was accepted as a motive or reward to grant licences and expedite supply of material, the proper section was 161, I. P. C. That presumably is why the offence under Section 165, I. P. C., is not one of those for which there has been any conviction.In regard to the payment of Rs. 10,000/- in two instalments, the cash book Ex. P. 290 containing entries about the sums and seized from the house of Sher Singh Arora by S. I. Anwar Husain P. W. 8 on 16-9-1946 does not appear to afford the requisite corro-boration.Arora's statement is that he got the furniture except the revolving chair from the firm at Delhi for Chari at Chari's request and supplied the revolving chair out of his own office furniture, and that when he demanded the price Chari said he would compensate him in other ways.Leaving the revolving chair, the rest of the furniture was worth Rs. 425/-.Chari compensated Arora by granting him licences Exhibits P. 281, 282, 284,.It had been marked on one piece.""This defence was based on the legend appearing on the back of only one piece, as admitted: ""Manufactured by the National Cycle Manufacturing Co., Kanpur"".This was the name given to the branch office in Kanpur of a company in Delhi, manufacturing conduit pipes and articles, like tubular furniture made therefrom styled the National Conduits, and of which Arora was the Managing Agent.The seized furniture was tubular furniture.It is proved from, the statement of Arora, supported as it is by the statements of Nanak Chand Tandon P. W. 50, his local manager, Jagmohan Bansal P. W. 15 manager of the Delhi firm and Baboo Lal Vaish P. W. 46Delivery Clerk in the Central Goods-shed Kanpur, and a number of documents proved by them, that the pieces of furniture other than the revolving chair were got manufactured by Arora in the Delhi firm and received from there, and that the revolving chair was supplied by Arora from his own office.Those pieces were however not seized from the office, but from the residence of Chari, as testified to by the aforesaid police officer and Sri Bal Govind Singh P. W. 16, the Additional City Magistrate who supervised the seizure.The seizure was made from a building known as the Ayodhya Bha-wan part of which served as Chari's office and part as his residence.Cross-examination of the Magistrate made it all the more clear, while the statement of the police officer was not challenged in cross-examination.The list Ex. P. 17 is also corroborative of the statements of these two witnesses about the furniture in question having been seized from the residential portion of the building since the articles seized were all house-hold effects.Emplacement of furniture in the residence could hardly make for advertisement.Certain statements appearing in the evidence of Sher Singh Arora and his local Manager Nanak Chand Tandon were drawn upon by the learned counsel for Chari.Arora's statement in the Sessions Court was that his manager knew how the said inscription was painted on the back of the chair, but his statement in the court of the Committing Magistrate was that he had got it painted.Nanak Chand Tandon also stated at the trial that Arora had asked him to have it done.That was more natural, and that was also the earlier version of Arora himself before the Magistrate.It appears to have been the merest slip on the part of Arora therefore to have said at the trial that his Manager knew how the inscription was painted.Reference was also made to the statement of Tandon that Arora had asked him to have 'Presented by National Cycle Manufacturing Co.' painted but the painter had inscribed 'Manufactured by Nation Cycle Manufacturing Co.' instead.This was evidently mere embellishment.Another statement appearing in Nanak Chand Tandon's cross-examination and referred to by Chari's learned counsel was that the revolving chair was given by Mr. Arora to Chari for his office.It does not appear that the said inscription was put at the back of the chair on Chari expressing his desire, after having been presented with the other furniture specially ordered for him from Delhi, that he also required a revolving chair.That wish of Chari was complied with by Arora having taken to him a chair, as it was, from his own office.There was nothing strange therefore that such a witness should have readily given in to the suggestion in cross-examination that the inscription was made for the sake of advertisement.And a reference to the quota register Ex. P. 62 shows that these licences, bearing numbers 3,61,717 and 3,61,721, also appear under a date that was tampered with.Both the appellants have of course denied receipt of the amounts.Prosecution evidence in support of this charge under Section 161, I. P. C., against the two appellants consists of the statements of Brahma Swarup Gupta P. W. 11 himself and his partner Sat Narain who was examined under Section 540, Criminal P. C.Being bribe-givers themselves, both these witnesses were accomplices and their testimony required independent corroboration.These stray entries could be made at any time.Accomplice evidence in this instance therefore lacks corroboration.The aforesaid charges of bribery cannot therefore be said to have been brought home to the appellants.(4) Banwari Lal Saraswat : The prosecution case relating to this instance is that in return for granting a number of licences for purchase of iron and steel Chari was given by Banwari Lal Saraswat P. W. 2 a secondhand refrigerator worth Rs. 1,200/- on or about29-3-1946 and D. C. Orient ceiling fans worth about Rs. 300/- in the last week of August 1940 as bribe, and that he antedated the licences Exhibits P. 110, P. 109 and P. 94 from 29-3-1946 to 23-3-1946 and thereby committed forgery.This charge of forgery is against Vaish also.The crucial question, both for the charge, under Section 161 and that under Section 467, I. P. C., is whether the refrigerator and the fans were accepted by Chari as illegal gratification.It is also the prosecution case, as admitted by Banwari Lal Saraswat P. W. 2 and testified to by two employees of the Electric Supply Co. at Kanpur, L. N. Shukla P. W. 20 and A. "" Maul P, W. 21, that early in May 1946 the refrigerator developed some defect, but the same could not be repaired in the U. P. Electric Supply Co.The prosecution case is that the refrigerator was thereafter given by Chari for repair to K. S. Reuben P. W. 29, a mechanic, at the suggestion of Banwari Lal Saraswat.That may be so, but the crucial question is whether it had been given to Chari by Banwari Lal as bribe or whether Chari had taken it on hire from him.Corrobaration for that evidence was sought to be found in the letter Exhibit P24 dated 6-5-1946 which Chari wrote to the Electric Supply Co. Kanpur for the repair of the refrigerator because in this letter he described the refrigerator as ""my personal one."" That is however a description which even a person who had taken the refrigerator on hire could have used in order to impress upon the Electric Supply Co. that the work required their special attention.It appears that the Electric Supply Co. had at the same time been requested telephonically by Banwari Lal Saraswat for the repair of the refrigerator, and Exhibit P. 25 dated 7-5-1946 is the reply which the company sent to Banwari Lal Saraswat.That did not however detract from the defence plea that the fans had been taken on hire.There is no doubt that a suspicion arises that the refrigerator ,and the ceiling fans may have been accepted by Chari as illegal gratification in view of the fact that he had granted licence for a large quantity of the commodity in favour of Banwari Lal Saraswat, but suspicion cannot take the place of proof.I am therefore of the view that the prosecution has not been able to prove the charge under Section 161, I. P. C., against Chari.That being so, the charge of forgery by antedating licences should also fail since the element of gain to Chari is wanting.The other appellant Vaish could not possibly be held to be guilty of the offence under Section 467 I. P. C. even if that charge stood established against Chari since there was no allegation, much less proof, that there was payment of any illegal gratification to Vaish.The charge relating to this instance therefore fails against both the appellants.Kali Charan was the Munim of those firms and Bulaqi Das Goel P. W. 13 and Ram Saran Das P. W. 47 were some of the proprietors of the firms.These applications, which are said to have been presented to Chari on 30-3-1946, are alleged to have been been typed at Agra on 29-3-1946 by one S. V. Shastri, an employee in the said firms.At the same time, the aforesaid sums of Rs. 2,000/- and Rs. 100/- are said to have been paid to Chari.According to Kali Charan payment of bribe was settled at Rs. 40/- per ton and Rs. 100/-represented part payment of bribe relating to the corrugated sheets, the rest having been promised to be paid later.Chari is said to have asked Kali Charan to change the date of the applications to 19-3-1946, but Kali Charan said that this could not be done as the proprietors were at Agra.The balance of Rs. 700/- payable to Chari in respect of the corrugated sheets was however not sent to him.Both the appellants denied the charges.Both Kali Charan and Bulaki Das admit that they maintained account books in which all the expenses of the firms were recorded; but none of those books of account was produced.One of them, a rokar 'bahi, is said to have been seized by L. S. Darbari.Kali Charan admitted that there was no entry in the books of account relating to the aforesaid sum of Rs. 2,100/- and both he and Bulaki Das professed ignorance as to whether the travelling expenses of Kali Charan and Shastri (the latter is also said to have come to Kanpur with Kali Charan) were entered in the books of account or not.It follows that as Chari derived no advantage, and as the antedating cannot be said to have necessarily caused loss, damage or injury to anybody else, the charge of forgery also fails.On this finding, failure of charge against Vaish follows as a necessary consequence.The application Exhibit P. 52 is said to have been presented to Chari for the licence on 3-4-1946, but it is said to have been antedated to 23-3-1946 at the instance of Chari.The charges against Vaish were of forging the licence and abatement of acceptance of the aforesaid sum of Rs. 1000/- by Chari.Here again the accomplice evidence of Ram Sarup Nigam and Raj Bahadur suffers for want of independent corroboration.Raj Bahadur admits that account books were maintained, but the same were not produced and there was no explanation for their non-production.Rat Bahadur stated that Ram Swarup Nigam had told him that the amount was being paid out of the income of his Zamindari and it was therefore not entered in the books of account.Besides this statement being unworthy of reliance on the very face of it, it is inadmissible being hearsay.The prosecution produced two witnesses, Yamin Khan P. W. 33 and Mohammad Hanif P.W. 53, who stated that they had also paid bribes to Chari, and that they were able to do so by Ram Swarup Nigam acting as the go-between.The evi-dence of these two witnesses besides being unsupported by any documentary evidence, cannot be said to be corroborative of the payment of the alleged bribe by Ram Swarup Nigam himself since they speak of payment of certain bribes which had nothing to do with the alleged payment of bribe by or on behalf of Ram Swarup Nigam.The charge in res-pect of payment of Bribe therefore fails and, as a necessary consequence also the charge of forgery against both the appellants.The licence was granted in favour of the firm Shambhu Dayal Deep Chand of Baraut in the district of Meerut of which Kapur Chand Jain (P. W, 7 was a partner and Jagdish Prasad P. W. 9 this manager.The licence' was granted on the application Exhibit P. 296, Kapur Chand Jain profess-ed to have seen Chari on the 20th and 22nd of March 1946 when Chari is said to have asked him to apply with the recommendation of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate or some other gazetted officer.He then returned, to Baraut and got the application typed by Jagdish Prasad.He then saw Char with the application on 29-3-1946, and, according to the witness, payment of bribe to Chari at Rs. 50/- per ton was then settled and the witness was asked to see Chari at his house in the evening.The antedating of the order passed by Chari on 23-3-1946 and of the licence issued on foot of that order is no doubt clear in view of the dates of the aforesaid recommendations, but here again no advantage was derived by Chari since bribe is only said to have been settled but not paid.For reasons al-ready recorded, the charge of forgery against both the appellants therefore fails.He left the application with Chari and got intimation slips subsequently but no licence.In view of the date of the Magistrate's re-commendation there is no doubt that Chari antedated his order and the licence but here again as there was no allegation, much less proof, of payment of any bribe, the charge of forgery against both the appellants fails.(9) Gauri Shanker Goel: In this instance lalso the only charge is of forgery of the licence Exhibit P. 82 against both the appellants.Gauri Shanker Goel P. W. 63 professes to have taken his, application Exhibit P. 82A with the recommends tion of the Magistrate Sri G. S., Churamani P. W. 45-dated 27-3-1946, and a few days later he professes to have received the licence in a registered cover.Gauri Shanker Goel says that bribe was demanded from him but he paid none because he was a poor man.In this instance also therefore although Chad did antedate his order and therefore the licence the charge of foregery cannot be said to have been made out because there is no evidence of Chari having derived any benefit.The charge of forgery against Vaish also fails not only because of that charge filing against Chari but also because Vaish appears to have prepared the licence in compliance with the order of Chari.(10) Bhagwan Das : This was the only, instance of grant of licence for purchase of scrap iron which was decontrolled from and on 1-1-1946 The charge against Chari was that in return for a bribe of Rs. 400/- paid to him on 3-1-1946, by Bhagwan Das P. W. 60, proprietor of the Kanpur Iron Manufacturing and Supply Co. and Manager of his father's firm Baldeo Das Daya Ram, Chari antedated the licence Exhibit P. 278 as having; been ordered to be issued prior to the control.The charge against Vaish was that he had also received a bribe of Rs 100/- on the same date from Bhagwan Das and committed forgery by preparing the aforesaid licence.The prosecution proved the antedating from the evidence of A. K. Sinha P. W. 30, a clerk in the office of the D. I. S. C. at Kanpur according to whom the last written order passed by Chari's predecessor was Exhibit P. 272 dated 31-12-1945 That according to the testimony of A. K, Sinha and the other prosecution witnesses, was the date on which Talwar handed over charge to Chari late in the afternoon after which no work was done that day in the office.The charge in question therefore fails against both the appellants in this instance also.From what has gone before, therefore, it appears that the charges against Chari in respect of offence punishable under Sections 161 and 467, I.P.C., have been brought home to him only in the 1st and 2nd instance, and no charge has been brought home to Vaish in any of the 10 instances.As regards the charge of criminal conspiracy under Section 120B, I. P. C. the conspiracy is said to have been formed by Chari with Vaish and others, meaning presumably the other employees in his office.None of the charges has however succeeded against Vaish.The other employees in the office would also appear to have done their part of preparing the licences under the orders of Chari who was their superior officer.","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 467 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 109 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

as acomplaint.Then taking the complaint, P.W.1 and P.W.6 went to Nanguneri PoliceStation.(d)At 3.00 a.m., on 21.08.1997, when P.W.17, the then Sub-Inspector of Police, attached to Nanguneri Police

absconding accused Murugesan surrendered before thelearned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Tuticorin.At 4.15 p.m.,the 4th accused Ramiah gave a voluntary confession, in which he disclosed theplace where he had hidden another aruval.In pursuance of the confessions, therespective accused took the police and witnesses to the respective places andproduced the weapons (M.Os. 1, 2 and 5 Aruvals) and P.W.21 recovered the same inthe presence of P.Ws.12 and 13 and returned to the police station.(P.Ws.12 and13 have turned hostile and did not support the case of the prosecution, in anymanner).P.W.21 forwarded the accused to the court for judicial remand andhanded over the material objects to the Court.On such examination, the Chemical Analyst submitted a reportunder Ex.4.Based on the above materials, the learned II-AdditionalDistrict and Sessions Judge, Tirunelveli, framed charges against all the fiveaccused, as detailed in the 1st paragraph of the judgment.All the accusedpleaded innocence.Therefore, they were put on trial.Before the examinationof witnesses commenced, as we have already pointed out, the accused Murugesan(the 3rd accused, as per the original array of parties) absconded.The trialCourt, therefore, split-up the case against him as S.C.No.8/2003 and maderearrangement of the parties and proceeded with the trial.During trial, toestablish the charges against the accused, on the side of prosecution 21witnesses were examined and 37 Exhibits were marked, besides 6 M.Os.5.Out of the said witnesses, P.Ws.1 and 20 are injured eye-witnesses.P.Ws.2 and 3 are eye-witnesses to the occurrence.These witnesseshave spoken to about the participation of all the five accused in the crime.P.W.4, has spoken to about the motive occurrence, which took place on12.08.1997. P.Ws.14 has also spoken to about the motive occurrence.P.W.5 isthe son-in-law of the deceased.He has stated that he saw the accused 1 and 2somewhere near the place of occurrence with weapons.P.W.6, the brother of thedeceased, has spoken to the fact that he drafted Ex.P-1, as dictated by P.W.1.P.W.15 has spoken to about the postmortem conducted by him on the body of thedeceased and his opinion regarding the cause of death.The other witnesses are officialwitnesses.6.When the above incriminating materials in evidence were putto the accused under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code, they denied thesame as false.However, they did not choose to examine any witnesses or markany documents.Considering the above materials, the trial court acquitted the4th accused Mr.Ramiah, holding that his presence in the occurrence place itselfhad not been proved.However, the trial court found the appellants/accusedNos.1 to 3 guilty on various offences and accordingly punished them as detailedin the 2nd paragraph of the judgment.7.We have heard the learned senior counsel for the appellantand the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and we havealso perused the records, carefully.8.As we have pointed out, P.Ws.1 to 3 and 20 are the eye-witnesses and they are inmates of the house.The foremost contention of thelearned counsel for the appellants is that the occurrence would not havehappened in the house of the deceased at all.According to him, the deceased,besides being a drunkard, had a number of enemies in the village and while hewas fully drunk elsewhere, he was done to death by unidentifiable persons.Later on, according to the defence, the dead body was brought to the house ofthe deceased and then the prosecution story has been built-up.In ourconsidered opinion, this defence taken has not even been probabilized by theaccused.Except making a vague suggestion to the witnesses, nothing more havebeen brought on record to doubt the fact that the occurrence had taken placeinside the house of the deceased.Apart from that, P.Ws.1 to 3 and P.W.20 havecategorically stated about the occurrence.The bloodstained brick piecerecovered from the place of occurrence would also go to prove that theoccurrence had taken place only inside the house of the accused.Thus, in ourconsidered opinion, the prosecution has clearly proved that the occurrence wasonly inside the house of the deceased.In order to substantiate this contention, the learned counsel for the appellantssubmitted that P.W.1 has admitted, during cross-examination, that after theoccurrence, she was at the place of occurrence continuously, as she was full ofgrief and she has further stated that from a local telephone booth, message waspassed on to the police, immediately after the occurrence and thus police cameto the place of occurrence, in a short while.After the arrival of the police,according to the learned counsel, the FIR could have been concocted and,therefore, no importance could be attached to the same.But, the main contention of the learned counsel that police would havearrived at the scene of occurrence, immediately on receiving the telephonemessage, needs serious consideration.We have perused the evidence of P.W.1, onthis aspect.Of course, P.W.1 has stated so.Such a rustic village womancannot be expected to be meticulous to speak about the time of arrival of thepolice.From the evidence of P.W.15, it could be seen that P.W.1 went to thedoctor on 21.08.1997 at 8.30 a.m. Had it been true that the police arrived atthe scene of occurrence, immediately after the occurrence, as suggested by thedefence, in all probabilities, P.W.1 would have been sent to the hospitalforthwith.Prompt lodging of the FIR, in this case,guarantees, to some extent, the truth of the contents in the FIR.According to the learned counsel, P.W.1, during cross-examination, hasadmitted that police sniffer dog was brought to the place of occurrence.When aspecific question was made to P.W.21, on this aspect, P.W.1 has stated thatpolice sniffer dog was never brought to the place of occurrence.So faras the 1st accused is concerned, in our considered view, the prosecution hassucceeded in proving his participation in the crime.It has been establishedthat he trespassed into the house, caused murder of the deceased and caused,voluntarily, simple hurt on P.W.1, with dangerous weapon.Therefore, the 1staccused alone is liable to be punished under Sections 302, 324 and 449 IPC.Nowturning to the quantum of punishment, for the offence under Section 302 IPC, weare inclined to impose the punishment of imprisonment for life and a fine ofRs.1000/-, in default rigorous imprisonment for one month.For the offence under324 IPC, we are inclined to impose the punishment of rigorous imprisonment forthree months and a fine of Rs.3000/-, in default rigorous imprisonment for twoweeks and for the offence under Section 449 IPC, we are inclined to impose apunishment of rigorous imprisonment for one year and a fine of Rs.3,000/-, indefault two weeks rigorous imprisonment.21.We make it clear that any of the observations, in respectof the alleged involvement of the absconding accused Murugesan, made in thisjudgment, shall not be used against him or shall not be treated as a findingregarding his involvement, when Mr.(a)For the offence under Section 302 IPC, he is sentenced toundergo imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.1000/-, in default toundergo rigorous imprisonment for one month.(b)For the offence under 324

+"passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 4th Court at Calcutta in G.R. Case No. 2830 of 2015 under Sections 406, 420 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits as follows.The petitioners are the accused in this case.A warrant of arrest was issued against the petitioners.They appeared before the learned trial court on 18.03.2017, prayed for bail and were in fact released on bail.But, on the very same day, without supplying copies of prosecution papers, charges were framed against the petitioners under Sections 406, 420 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.Framing of charge without supplying copies to the accused is absolutely bad in law and needs to be forthwith set aside.Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State in his usual fairness, submits that framing of charge in a criminal trial cannot take place without supply of copies to the accused.Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite party no. 2 / de facto complainant submits that the proceeding before the learned trial court is stalled because of the pendency of this application and as such, the revisional application ought to be disposed of at the earliest.I have heard the learned advocates for the parties and have perused the revision petition.It is not denied by the learned advocates for the State and the private opposite party that charges were framed in this case without supply of copies of prosecution papers to the accused.Framing of charge against an accused without supply copies of documents on which the prosecution relies, as contemplated under Section 207 or 208 of the Code, to the accused is not at all tenable in the eye of law.In view of the above, I have no hesitation in setting aside the impugned order so far as the framing of charges and the fixing of dates for evidence are concerned.I remand the matter back to the learned trial court to commence the proceeding afresh from the stage of supply of copies to the accused.It is expected that copies of necessary documents shall be supplied to the accused at the earliest and the proceedings shall be commenced therefrom.With these observations, the revisional application and the connected applications are disposed of.Urgent photostat certified copy of this order may be supplied to the parties expeditiously, if applied for.(Jay Sengupta,J.)

Misra, learned Counsel for the petitioner, on 12-7-1982, which does not appear to have been considered by the State Government till now.The order of detention of the petitioner is based on four grounds, which are as follows:(1).On 5-3-1982 at about 6 P.M. you and your companion Gulfam armed with knives surrounded Dr. B. N. Gupta resident of Mohalla Faizganj and Krishna Avtar Mehrotra in front of Ansar Inter College on Prince Road, P.S. Mughalpura in the city of Moradabad and you told, Dr. Gupta that even though he obtains the support of the Police or court of law, you would take possession of his land in Guinya Bagh at the point of knife.As he (Dr. Gupta) was the only Hindu resident of Faizganj he could not dare remain in possession of his land in Guinya Bagh with the support of Mehrotra : Your companion Gulfam told, Dr. Gupta that he should quietly leave Moradabad otherwise he would tear his stomach with Ms knife and give the incident a communal colour and the Holi of the current year would be played with blood.The aforesaid incident created a sensation and people of both the communities began to collect.(2) Case Crime No. 761/81 under Section 147/323 I.P.C., P.S. Kotwali was pending against you in the Court of 9th Additional Munsif Magistrate, Moradabad.On 23-6-1982 you threatened Sri Laxmi Narain Sharma Assistant Public Prosecutor, who was conducting the prosecution, in the verandah of the court while he was preparing the case and said that if he took much interest in the case you would kill him and the consequences would be serious.You also told the people present at the tea shop that there was no need to be afraid of the Police dogs but to confront them if necessary.It was mentioned in the document containing the grounds of detention that the petitioner may make his representation to the Home Secretary through the Jail authorities and the petitioner made such a representation, which was considered and rejected by the State Government as mentioned above.Copy of report No. 31 dated 5-3-82 P.S. Mughalpura.Order sheet dated 23-6-1982 of the Court of 9th Additional Munsif Magistrate, Moradabad in Case Crime No. 761/81 under Section 147/323 I.P.C.. P.S. Kotwali, District Moradabad.Letter of the L. I. U. No. LIU/MD/ C-l/82 dated 30-6-1982,It is true that it is not mentioned in the aforesaid list that a copy of the report of Laxmi Narain Sharma Assistant Public Prosecutor made to the 9th Additional Munsif Magistrate, Moradabad on 23-6-1982 was also supplied to the petitioner along with the grounds of detention, but in the counter-affidavit filed by the District Magistrate, Moradabad it was stated that a copy of the said report was supplied to the petitioner along with the grounds of detention, The record of the District Magistrate relating to the case of the petitioner, which was produced before us, also shows that a copy of the said report was supplied to the petitioner along with the grounds of detention.Two other documents received by the petitioner were obviously a copy of the grounds of detention and a copy of the order sheet dated 23-6-1982 of the Court of 9th Additional Munsif Magistrate in case No. 761/81 under Section 147/323, I.P.C. The third document received by him must, therefore, have been the copy of the report of the Assistant Public Prosecutor dated 23-6-1982 made to the 9th Additional Munsif Magistrate, as stated by the District Magistrate in his counter-affidavit.In these circumstances, the contention of the petitioner that a copy of the said report of the Assistant Public Prosecutor was not supplied to him along with the grounds of detention cannot be accepted.which were before the District Magistrate when he passed the order of detention, were not supplied to the petitioner along with the grounds of detention but were supplied to him on 13-8-1982, about a month after he had applied for them, but, in our opinion, the non-supply of these two documents did not cause any prejudice to the petitioner as his right to make an effective representation against the grounds of detention was not affected.It was stated in the report of Laxmi Narain Sharma Assistant Public Prosecutor dated 23-6-1982 made to the Court:","['Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"They originally hail from Rajasthan State.The accused 1 and 2 are the husband and wife residing in Kanchipuram.They also hail from Rajasthan.A3 is their son.A1 to A3 came to Checkpettia in order to attend the very same function.When the talks were going in the presence of elders in Checkpettia, the accused persons demanded 8 kilos of silver, 3/4 kilo of gold and a cash of Rs.75,000/- as Sridhana.P.W.1 was prepared to give 1/2 kilo gold, 6 kilos silver and a cash of Rs.55,000/-.This was agreed upon by the parties.The betrothal was held.On that day, the jewels as well as one portion of cash were given.On 14.12.1985, the marriage was held in a Kalyana Mandapam at Hassan attended by the relatives of both the families.Apart from that, several other jewels and household articles were given at the time of marriage.After the marriage was over, P.W.1 gave Rs.1,500/- towards the rent charges for the hotels where the relatives of the accused stayed.The accused demanded another Rs.1,500/- to be paid to the other hotels where some more relatives stayed.But, P.W.1 did not accept to give the said amount.The accused family having aggrieved over the same, however went back to Kanchipuram along with the bride.(2) After a few days, i.e. on 20.12.1985, P.W.4 Sajanraj, son of P.W.1, P.W.17 Dineshkumar along with other relatives went to the house of the accused in order to take the deceased to their house at Hassan for celebrating other connected functions.At that juncture, the first accused wanted Rs.10,000/-. P.W.4 contacted P.W.1 through phone and informed this.As directed by him, P.W.4 obtained Rs.10,000/- as loan from P.W.21 Manikchand, brother of the first accused and handed over the same to the first accused.(3) The deceased was staying for 10 days in P.w.1's house attending other functions.Then, after finishing other functions, P.W.1 sent both of them to the house at Kanchipuram.Three months later, i.e. on 26.3.1986, the deceased Prabhat Kumari phoned to P.W.1 and told him that she was ill-treated by the accused in their house and she was compelled to do all the household works treating her as a Servant-maid and that A1 sold her Ottiyanam weighing about 150 grams.Within a few days, both A3 and deceased came to attend a function at Bangalore and then came to Hassan.She told P.W.1 that the accused complained that the bangles that she was wearing are the old pattern and so, they should be remodelled.Accordingly, the four bangles worn by the deceased were handed over to the Goldsmith P.W.3 and the same was remodelled and then they were handed over to the deceased.In the month of September, the deceased got conceived.Therefore, P.W.1 sent P.W.4 to bring the deceased to Hassan.The accused persons sarcastically remarked that how could P.W.1 incur the delivery expenses when he was not even able to pay the rental charges for the hotels at the time of marriage.On Deepavali day, the deceased gave birth to a female child.Therefore, P.W.4 and P.W.8 went to Kanchipuram to see the child.At that point of time, the accused demanded Rs.50,000/-, since they had spent money towards the hospital charges for delivery.P.W.8, in turn, told them that they would not give any money as they were not allowed to take the deceased for delivery to Hassan.Though the wife and child were not allowed to accompany P.W.8 to Hassan on 28.1.1987, some time later, the wife and child were sent.On 14.2.1987, A3 came to Hassan and asked P.W.1 to send his daughter and granddaughter with him.He also demanded Rs.50,000/- towards the expenses for delivery.He also intimidated that unless the amount is given, they would not treat the deceased properly.The deceased also told the witnesses about the ill-treatment suffered at the hands of the accused.However, A3 was pacified and the wife and child were sent along with him.15 days later, P.W.1 received the phone call from the deceased requesting him to send Rs.50,000/- as quickly as possible, since she was being cruelly treated by the accused persons.Then, P.W.1 said that he would try to mobilise the fund and send the same.(4) P.W.10 Santhi was working as a Servant-maid in the house of the accused at the relevant period.P.W.14 Jagadeesan is a Tailor who used to come to the house of the accused and stitch the clothes in the house itself.On 21.3.1987 at about 2.30 P.M., P.W.14 was stitching in the sewing machine, P.W.10 servant-maid came to the house.At that point of time, one Kutty (P.W.22), the daughter of A1 cried saying ""save, save"" (........................................................................) and rushing down from the upstairs.Then, P.W.10 and P.W.14 enquired P.W.22, who in turn said that her sister-in-law, viz., the deceased was found hanging in the upstairs.Then, all of them went to the upstairs and found the room locked from inside.They saw through the window that the deceased was found hanging from the fan.Then, A1 along with P.W.13 Baskaran, working in the Goldsmith shop in the opposite side came there and broke open the door and went inside and untied the rope and put the body on the cot.(5) On 21.3.1987 P.W.1 received a phone call from P.W.11 Ukkamchand that the deceased died due to heart attack.He contacted P.W.21 and confirmed the death of the deceased.Then, after instructing that the dead body should not be removed till they come, P.W.1, his wife P.W.8, his son P.W.4, P.W.2 and P.W.15 came to Kanchipuram.When A1 was questioned regarding the cause of death, he said that she died due to heart attack.In the meantime, P.W.23, the Sub Inspector of Police, Sivakanchi Police Station, Kanchipuram received an intimation from the Inspector of Police stating that there is a suspicion over the death of Prabhat Kumari and asking him to take further action.Accordingly, he went to the house immediately and enquired the relations gathered there and they informed that the death was due to heart attack.Then, P.w.1 and P.W.11 were taken to the local Police Station.When he was asked whether the body could be removed for cremation, P.W.1 did not object to the same, since he was deeply worried over the death of the deceased.P.W.8, who went inside the room, was able to find some injuries on the body.Even though she objected to the removal of the body, the people gathered there pushed her aside and removed the body for cremation.(6) On 23.3.1987, P.W.9 Dr. Subramaniam was approached by P.W.21, the brother of A1 for the issue of the medical certificate over the death of Prabhat Kumari stating that she died due to heart attack.P6 certificate, death was registered in Ex.P5 register and Ex.P7 death certificate was obtained from the Municipality.(7) Unable to find out the real truth of the death of the deceased, as Kanchipuram is the new place for P.W.1's family and they are not well versed in Tamil, they came to Hassan on 25.3.1987 and sent telegrams to the Chief Minister of the State and the Home Minister of the Centre.On 28.3.1987, he sent complaints to various officials through registered post.He sent Ex.P2 to the Director General of Police, Chennai.The cot M.O.5 also was recovered.M.O.1 fan through which she hanged herself was recovered.The trouble started in this case even on the date of marriage.The marriage was held on 14.12.1985 at Hassan.JUDGMENT M. Karpagavinayagam, J.The bolt of the door of the said room which was locked from inside was broken by the accused persons and others by applying the physical force and untied the rope and put the dead body on the cot.The reason of the death of the deceased was informed as the deceased died due to heart attack.On the orders of the High Court on the petition filed on behalf of the parents of the deceased, the investigation was taken over by C.B., C.I.D. After finishing the investigation, the charge sheet was filed against all the respondents(A1 to A3) for the offences referred to above.During the course of trial, P.W.1 to P.W.26 were examined, Exs.P1 to P17 were marked.On the side of the defence, Exs.D1 to D3 were marked.Challenging the same, the State has filed this appeal.Besides this, P.W.1 also has separately filed a revision before this Court.In the light of the above principles, we have to see the reasonings given by the trial Court for acquitting the accused in order to find out whether they are correct or not.Before dealing with the same, it would be worthwhile to refer to the various facts, which led to the acquittal.Let us refer to them at the outset:(1) P.W.1 Lakpath Raj staying along with his wife P.W.8 and children is doing business at Hassan in Karnataka State.He has got three sons and three daughters.Prabhat Kumari, the deceased is the eldest daughter aged about 20 years.Since P.W.9 earlier treated the deceased at the time of delivery, he gave Ex.P6 certificate to the effect that the death was due to heart attack without even examining the dead body.On the basis of Ex.On 12.7.1987, he recovered Exs.Then, further investigation was taken up by P.W.26, the CB CID D.S.P. and the case was altered into Section 304B I.P.C. Again, P.W.26 came to the house and recovered the wooden portions (M.Os.6 to 10) from where the bolt was broken under mahazars Exs.After finishing the investigation, P.W.26 filed the charge sheet for the offences referred to above.(8) According to the accused in the statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C., they were not responsible for the death of the deceased and the body was taken to grave yard only on the statement of P.W.1 saying 'no objection' and they have registered the death of the deceased with the Municipality on the basis of Ex.P6, the Doctor's certificate stating that the deceased died due to heart attack.But, P.W.8 would state that all the three demanded the amount.This is a vital contradiction.(5) The marriage was finalised and fixed by one Lal.That list was not produced.(7) According to P.W.8, she saw injuries on the neck.But, the same was not informed to P.W.1's husband.(8) P.Ws.10, 13 and 14 though would state that they went to upstairs and saw the dead body of the deceased found hanging from the fan, they did not give the statement to the police immediately and they gave the statement only after six months.(9) Ex.P6 certificate issued by P.W.9 Doctor would show that the deceased died only due to heart attack.There is no post-mortem certificate giving the reason for death.(10) The letter Ex.P1 and Exs.D1 and D2 written by the deceased did not contain the reference about the torture at the hands of the accused.On going through the reasonings, it is obvious that the trial Court has misread the evidence and given importance to the very insignificant aspects for concluding that the prosecution has not established its case beyond reasonable doubt.On going through the records, it is noticed that the above reasonings are not only perverse but also the important materials available on record have been totally ignored.Let us now first go into each one of the reasonings given by the trial Court for acquittal.The first reasoning is the delay in launching the complaint.According to P.W.1, he did not give a complaint to local police, since he was unable to converse with the local Police Officers in Tamil.It is his specific assertion that when he wanted to say something to police, they did not understand the same and on the other hand, they said that they could not do anything.Thereafter, he sent a detailed report on 28.3.1987 addressing to the Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu State and also to the Governor, Chief Minister and other high officials of the State Governments of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka and the Central Government, New Delhi.Merely because the complaint was sent after three or four days through telegram and registered post, it cannot be stated that P.W.1 gave a false complaint against the accused.In fact, from 25.3.1987 onwards, P.W.1 and his relative P.W.15 have been consistently pursuing for the action to be taken against the accused by sending telegrams and registered complaints to the various officials including the Head of the Police of Tamil Nadu.The very fact that he sent registered complaints not only to Tamil Nadu and Karnataka Governments but also to the Central Government itself would show that his attempt to pursue the action through the local police on the very same day did not fructify as the local police were reluctant to take action against the accused.Under those circumstances, the delay cannot be said to be an unexplained delay.The second reasoning is that there is no reference about the dowry demand in Ex.P2 complaint.The reading of Ex.P2 in entirety would go to show that the deceased was tortured on several occasions by the accused and her husband used to beat her to get money from her house and that he used to threaten that he would do away her, if she does not bring Rs.50,000/-.It is also mentioned in the complaint that the parents of her husband never used to provide food and she used to starve for several days without sufficient food.These things would show that there was a demand of money and also there was a torture.The third reasoning is that there is no explanation as to why child was delivered at the husband's place.This reasoning is without any basis.There are materials to show that the accused persons declined to send the deceased to the house of her parents for delivery despite the request made by the parents of the deceased through P.W.4, the brother of the deceased to send her to Hassan for delivery.Even in the complaint Ex.P2 give by P.W.1, it is specifically mentioned that as per the customs prevailed in their community, viz., Jain Community, the first delivery would take place at the parents' house of the bride, but the accused persons refused to send her to parent's house and she was retained in Kanchipuram itself.P.W.4, the brother of the deceased would also state in his deposition that as instructed by P.Ws.1 and 8, parents of the deceased, he went to Kanchipuram and requested the accused persons to send her with him to Hassan for delivery and at that time, the accused persons abused his father P.W.1 stating that he did not even to pay the rental charges of the hotel rooms for the stay of their relatives at the time of marriage and how could he bear the expenses for delivery and so saying P.W.4 was sent back without allowing the deceased to go to Hassan for delivery.When this evidence is available, the trial Court is quite wrong to observe that there is no explanation and as such, this finding ignoring the relevant materials given by the trial Court is perverse.The next reasoning is relating to the contradiction with regard to the demand of Rs.50,000/- made by the accused.But, on going through Ex.P2 complaint and the evidence of P.Ws.1, 4 and 8, there is no contradiction.As per Ex.P2, the deceased told P.W.1 that the accused demanded Rs.50,000/-.When P.W.4 and P.W.8 went to Kanchipuram to see the child, the accused persons demanded amount of Rs.50,000/-, since they had to incur expenses for delivery.Only in that context, P.W.8 would state that since the deceased was not allowed to go to Hassan for delivery, the delivery expenses need not be incurred by them.Furthermore, when A3 came to Hassan to take back the wife and child, he reiterated his demand of Rs.50,000/- towards the delivery expenses.Therefore, there is no contradiction with regard to the demand ofRs.50,000/-.One other reasoning is non-examination of one Lal, who has finalised the marriage.The fact of the marriage is not disputed.Moreover, the marriage was held at Hassan in the bride's place and both the families attended the same.So, the non-examination of one Lal, who has finalised the marriage proposal, would not be relevant in this case.The trial Court found fault with the prosecution that a list of Sridhana articles was not produced.This is yet another irrelevant reason.According to P.W.1, at the time of betrothal and marriage, though more Sridhana articles and cash were demanded, ultimately, the matter was settled among the parties to agree with the terms of the marriage proposal in regard to the Sridhana articles.Accordingly, jewels, cash and household articles were given to the bridegroom's family by the bride's family.The details of the household articles, jewels and cash which were handed over to A1 at the time of betrothal and marriage are spoken to by P.W.1, P.W.4, son of P.W.1, P.W.8, wife of P.W.1, P.W.11 Ukkamchand, resident of Kanchipuram, P.W.16 Annaraj Jain of Hassan.The evidence relating to this adduced by them have not been seriously disputed in the cross-examination of the accused.It is the specific case of P.W.1 that a list of Sridhana articles was prepared and the list is available.However, during the course of investigation, the list was not seized and therefore, the same was not produced.Under those circumstances, we cannot expect the prosecution to produce the list, which has not been seized.Moreover, the availability of the list is not disputed by the accused.The next reasoning is that P.W.8 did not tell P.W.1 about the injuries found on the body of the deceased.This reasoning also, in my view, would not be a valid one, since when the dead body was kept in the room, P.W.8 alone was allowed to go inside.In the meantime, the relatives of the accused family took P.w.1 to the Police Station.In the Police Station, P.W.1 could not do anything as he was not able to converse with the Police Officers in Tamil.At the time when the dead body was removed, P.W.8 cried and said that she could also be burnt along with the dead body and asked the crowd not to remove the dead body.However, she was pushed aside by the relatives of the accused and then, the body was removed.In such a situation, P.W.8 could not give any details about the injuries to P.W.1 since she was in the grief and shock.After cremation was over, when P.W.1, P.W.8 and others came back to Hassan, P.W.1 sent telegrams and complaints mentioning about all the details to the police.In Ex.P2, it is specifically mentioned that certain injuries were found on the body of the deceased and the body was burnt abruptly to destroy the evidence by the accused persons.So, in the light of this evidence, this reasoning also has to be held improper.Next reasoning is that P.W.10, P.W.13 and P.W.14, who stated that they saw the deceased found hanging from the ceiling fan, did not make immediate statement.It is the specific case of P.W.1 that on the date when they came to Kanchipuram on hearing the news of death of the deceased, he met the police, but the police said that they could not do anything.P.W.23 Sub Inspector of Police also did not give the details as to whether they examined these persons.When the investigation was taken up by the C.B.,C.I.D. Inspector, a thorough probe was made and these people, who are residents of Kanchipuram gave statements giving the above details.Admittedly, they did not have any interest in the people who are residing in Hassan nor had any animosity against the accused persons.It is not that these witnesses gave contra statements initially and further statements were made by them contradicting the earlier statements.When they were interrogated, they gave a clear version stating that they saw that the deceased was found hanging from the fan.Therefore, this reasoning also, in my view, cannot be accepted.The next reasoning is that Ex.He was only giving some treatment at the time of delivery of the child for chest pain and only on the request of A1, Ex.P6 certificate was issued thinking that death would have been due to heart attack.Therefore, the contents of Ex.P6 certificate has not been proved through P.W.9 and when P.W.9 himself would give out the circumstances under which Ex.P6 certificate was issued, it cannot be held that the deceased died only due to heart attack.It is true that the dead body was not available for post-mortem.But, in the light of the evidence of P.Ws.10, 13 and 14 and without allowing the police to conduct post-mortem and hurried cremation done on the same day, would show that the death was not due to hear attack.It is true that the prosecution has to prove the reason for the death.In this case, we have no medical evidence to show that death was due to hanging.But, the fact remains that the accused persons tried to get a false certificate Ex.P6 from P.W.9 Doctor in order to show that the deceased died only due to heart attack.This act of the accused in obtaining false certificate from P.W.9 hurriedly and the evidence of P.Ws.10, 13 and 14 to the effect that they saw the dead body of the deceased found hanging would clearly show that the death could not have been due to heart attack but only due to hanging.The trial Court would observe that there is no reference about the torture in Exs.It is true that Exs.D1 and D2 would not relate to the torture.Those letters would refer about mere enquiries.But, Ex.P1 letter would clearly indicate that she must have informed P.W.1 about the sale of Ottiyanam given to the deceased at the time of marriage and about the same P.W.1 should not write any letter.This shows that out of fear for A1 she must have written that letter.Let us now go into the other evidence available on record.After marriage was over, P.W.1 gave Rs.1,500/- towards the rent charges for the hotels where the relatives of the accused stayed.When the accused demanded another Rs.1,500/- for making payment to other hotels where some more relatives stayed, P.W.1 did not accept to give the same amount.This is the first grievance for the bridegroom's family.Relating to the refusal to make payment towards the rental charges number of witnesses would speak.P.W.1, P.W.2, his relative, P.W.4, son of P.W.1, P.W.8, wife of P.W.1, P.W.11 Ukkamchand of Kanchipuram, P.W.15 Giwerchand, brother of P.w.8 and P.W.17 Dinesh Kumar of Bangalore, all would speak about the said aspect of the evidence.Some days later after the marriage, P.w.4 along with P.W.17 Dinesh Kumar of Bangalore went to the house of the accused to bring the deceased to their house at Hassan for celebrating other necessary functions.At that time, A1 wanted Rs.10,000/-.A1 stated that unless the amount of Rs.10,000/- is paid, he would not allow the deceased to go along with them to Hassan.This is purely due to the non-payment of the rental charges for his relatives stayed in some of the other hotels.Ultimately, P.w.4 obtained loan of Rs.10,000/- from P.W.21 Manikchand, brother of the first accused and handed over the same to the first accused.This aspect of the evidence is being spoken to by P.W.4, son of P.W.1, P.W.15 Giwerchand, brother of P.W.8 and P.W.17 Dinesh Kumar of Bangalore.Though P.W.21 became hostile, the other witnesses, namely, P.W.4, P.W.15 and P.W.17 would state that they came to the house of the accused and the first accused demanded money of Rs.10,000/- and thereafter, the said money was obtained as loan from P.W.21 and the same was handed over to the accused.Apart from these witnesses, P.W.11 Ukkamchand of Kanchipuram would state that P.W.4 came to his shop and informed about the demand made by the accused and through the phone kept at the shop of P.W.11, P.w.4 contacted P.W.1 and obtained the instruction to get the loan from P.W.21 and gave it to the first accused.Both these incidents would show that the first accused wanted P.W.1 to pay more amount towards the rental charges and when the same was not accepted, A1 did not allow the deceased from the bridegroom's house to the bride's parents' house at Hassan till the amount of Rs.10,000/- was paid.After finishing functions, the deceased and A3 were sent back to Kanchipuram.On 26.3.1986, i.e. three months later, the deceased for the first time phoned to P.W.1 and told that she was ill-treated by the accused persons in their house and that A1 sold her Ottiyanam weighing about 150 grams.Later, she also wrote a letter Ex.P1 stating that P.W.1 should not write any letter regarding the Ottiyanam, which was sold.After some months, the deceased and her husband (A3) came to attend a marriage.On the way to Kanchipuram, they came and visited P.W.1's house.At that time, the deceased complained to P.W.1 that the accused persons did not like the pattern of the bangles and they should be re-modelled.Accordingly, the bangles were given to Goldsmith P.W.3 and after re-modelling, they were given back to the deceased.At that time itself, she told P.W.1, P.W.4 and P.W.8 that she was treated badly by the accused persons.In the month of September 1986, P.W.1 received information that the deceased got conceived.Therefore, P.W.4 was sent to Kanchipuram to bring the pregnant deceased to Hassan for delivery.At that juncture, the accused persons did not allow the deceased to go to her parents' house making a sarcastical remark that P.W.1 would not be able to bear the delivery expenses, since he was not able to pay the rental charges for the hotels at the time of marriage.After getting the news that child is born, P.W.4 and P.W.8 went to Kanchipuram to see the child.At that time, the accused demanded Rs.50,000/-, since they had paid hospital charges for delivery.P.W.8 replied that they would not bear any charges, since they were not allowed to take the deceased for delivery to Hassan.Though initially the daughter and the child were not sent, after two months, they were sent to Hassan.At that time also, she told P.Ws.1, 4 and 8 and others about the ill-treatment meted out to her by the accused persons in regard to the demand of Rs.50,000/-.On 14.2.1987, A3 came to take the wife and child back to Kanchipuram.At that time also, A3 reiterated the demand of Rs.50,000/-.According to the witnesses, A3 threatened P.W.1 and others that unless the amount is given, the deceased would be continued to be ill-treated.But however, A3 was pacified and the wife and child were sent along with him.15 days later, P.W.1 received the phone call from the deceased requesting him to send Rs.50,000/- as quickly as possible, since she was being cruelly treated by the accused persons.From these, it is revealed that the deceased was not allowed to go to Hassan for delivery and even after delivery, she was not allowed to P.W.8 and P.W.4 to Hassan.At that time, they demanded Rs.50,000/-, since they incurred hospital expenses.Even when A3 came to Hassan, he reiterated the said demand.At last, 15 days prior to her death, she insisted P.W.1 that he must send Rs.50,000/- immediately as she was being subjected to cruelty at the hands of the accused.The evidence of P.W.4, P.W.8 and P.W.1 would give two aspects of the matter: (1) The demand made by the accused persons that P.W.1 should pay Rs.50,000/- which was incurred by them towards medical expenses, or otherwise the deceased would be continued to be ill-treated.(2) The deceased told P.W.4 and P.W.8 when they came to see the child that she was ill-treated by the accused persons.Similarly, she told the other witness P.W.15 also regarding the ill-treatment.As noted above, just few days prior to her death, she phoned up to P.W.1 that she was being ill-treated and unless the amount is sent, the same would not be stopped.These things would make it obvious that she was continuously ill-treated by the accused persons from the beginning over the non-payment of the amount of Rs.50,000/-.The second aspect of the evidence is that P.W.10 Santhi, the Servant-maid working under the accused and P.W.13 Baskaran working in a Goldsmith shop in the opposite side and P.W.14 Jagadeesan working as a Tailor saw the deceased found hanging in the room in the upstairs of the house.According to them, on hearing the cry of P.W.20, sister of A3, they rushed to the upstairs and saw through window the deceased found hanging from the ceiling fan.Then, A1 with the help of P.W.13 broke open the door and went inside and untied the rope and put the body on the cot.Though the statements of these witnesses have been recorded only when the C.B., C.I.D. took up the investigation, even the first investigation conducted by P.W.25, the D.S.P. would show that P.W.25 went to the spot and prepared observation mahazar and recovered the bent bolt bracket attached to the broken door.Then, again P.W.26, the D.S.P., CB CID on taking further investigation recovered the broken door under Ex.These things would show that the deceased was found hanging inside the room and only after breaking open the door, which was locked inside, the accused and others went inside and took the body outside of the room.The fact that P.W.10 was working as a Servant-maid in the house of the accused during the relevant time was not challenged.Similarly, P.W.13 was working as a Goldsmith in the opposite side and P.W.14, a Tailor used to stitch clothes in the house of the accused.There is no reason as to why they speak falsehood with reference to the fact that the deceased was found hanging from the ceiling fan.According to prosecution, the death was informed by P.W.11 Ukkamchand of Kanchipuram.No intimation was sent by the accused to P.W.1's family.When P.W.1 received a phone call from P.W.11, he contacted P.W.21 for verification and P.W.21 confirmed that the deceased died.Thereafter, P.W.1 and others came to Kanchipuram.It is true that P.W.1 did not raise any objection when the body was removed for cremation.But in this context, we have to see the real situation.When such is the case, there is no reason as to why the Sub Inspector of Police did not choose to register the case for suspicious death.P.W.23 did not state that he has obtained any statement in writing either from P.W.1, P.W.8 and other relatives or from the neighbours to find out as to what really happened.The way in which the cremation was hurried would show that P.W.23 did not take interest in finding out the truth with regard to the cause of death.In such circumstances, the evidence of P.W.1 to the effect that he contacted the police at the Police Station for taking action, but they said that they could not do anything assumes importance.Under those circumstances, for the reasons best known to P.W.23, the body was not allowed to conduct post-mortem and the arrangements were made for early cremation in the presence of the Police Constables.In the light of the said situation, the efforts were taken by P.W.1's family by sending complaints after complaints to the Officers concerned and ultimately, they obtained orders from this Court for investigation by the C.B., C.I.D.Thus, from the evidence of the witnesses referred to above, both torture and the death of the deceased due to hanging have been clearly established.Even according to prosecution, A1 earlier demanded Rs.10,000/-, since the rent charges were not given for the stay of his relatives at Hassan at the time of marriage.Secondly, the deceased was not allowed to go to Hassan for delivery.Delivery of the child was arranged by the accused family at Kanchipuram.Towards the expenses of the delivery of the child, they demanded Rs.50,000/-.Since Rs.50,000/- was not paid, the accused ill-treated the deceased which resulted in the commission of suicide.But, on the other hand, there are materials to show that there is a cruelty, which resulted in the suicide, which would attract Sections 306 and 498A I.P.C.The other charges like Sections 203 and 417 I.P.C. against may not be made out for the following reasons.43. A1 was charged for the offence under Section 203 I.P.C. for having given wrong information with regard to the death of the deceased to the Sub Inspector of Police.There is no record to show that P.W.23, the Sub Inspector of Police did not say that A1 gave the false information.Similarly, P.W.9 Doctor stated that P.W.21, brother of A1 gave the information that the deceased died due to heart attack and obtained the certificate from him.Furthermore, the evidence of P.W.23, the Sub Inspector of Police, as discussed above, would clearly indicate that he did not choose to take immediate action, despite that he received information from the Inspector of Police that there is a suspicious death.In fact, P.W.23 admitted in his examination that he did not personally interrogate the relatives of the deceased.It is the specific evidence of P.W.1 that he contacted the police to take action, but the police said that they could not do anything at their stage.It is also the case of P.W.8 that despite her objection, the body was removed by the relatives of the accused by pushing her aside, that too when the Police Constables were standing there.These things would show that the accused persons tried to hush up the matter and hurriedly removed the body for cremation with the help of the local police to avoid the post-mortem in order to escape from the penal action.Expecting some action that might be taken by ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ P.W.9 was approached and he was given false information and on that basis, certificate was obtained and on the strength of the said certificate, depending on the facts and circumstances of the case, subjecting a woman to cruelty may amount to an offence under Section 498A and may also, if a course of conduct, amounting to cruelty is established leaving no other option for the woman expecting to commit suicide, amount to abetment to commit suicide.The child was born in November 1986 and the death of the deceased took place on 21.3.1987 when she was living with the other accused.This Court by the judgment dated 4.2.2002 allowed the appeal against acquittal filed by the State through Public Prosecutor, Madras convicted the respondents 1 and 3 (A1 and A3)for the offences under Sections 306 and 498A I.P.C. and sustained the acquittal in favour of the 2nd respondent (A2).The matter was directed to be posted on 18.2.2002 directing A1 and A3 to be present before this Court to hear them in regard to the question of sentence.Accordingly, on 18.2.2002, A1 and A3 were present.It was informed before this Court that Mr. A.

Yadav (PW-20) stated that on 27.01.2006, he recorded the memorandums of the appellants Mohd. Shaukat, Mohd. Sohel and Mohd. Soyeb as Ex.P/6, Ex.P/7 and Ex.According to their memorandums, he seized a knife from the house of the appellant Mohd. Shaukat.Similarly, he recovered another knife from the possession of appellant Mohd. Sohel and a knife was 12 CRA No. 2452/2007 CRA No. 2004/2008 CRA No. 582/2010 recovered from the possession of appellant Mohd. Soyeb.Different knives were seized form the possession of Mohd. Shaukat, Mohd. Sohel and Mohd. Soyeb vide seizure memo Ex.P/13 and Ex.12 CRA No. 2452/2007Dr. Ashok Sharma (PW-19) examined all the six knives which were hard, sharp and pointed objects.He deposed that he took a picture of the aforesaid weapons.The injuries mentioned in his postmortem report (Ex.P/36) and cut marks found on the clothes of the deceased can be caused by the aforesaid weapons.His report Ex.P/38 has also supported the prosecution case properly.It is important to mention here that learned counsel for the appellants has not cross-examined Dr. Ashok Sharma (Pw-19) nor he has challenged the doctor's opinion.In our considered opinion the testimony of Dr. Ashok Sharma (PW-19) has duly corroborated the direct evidence.There is no reason to disbelieve the opinion of Dr. Ashok Sharma which has further corroborated by other evidence on record and doctor's opinion.All the weapons were sent for FSL examination by S.R.Yadav (PW-20).In the FSL report (Ex.P/40) blood stains 13 CRA No. 2452/2007 CRA No. 2004/2008 CRA No. 582/2010 were found on the soil collected from the spot and clothes of the deceased and particularly all the six knives as Article-E, F, G, H, I & J all were blood stained, which were recovered from the appellants.In four knives as Article-E, F, H & J, the expert confirmed that human blood was present on it.Due to the technical reason that spots of blood were disintegrated and quantity of blood was not sufficient.Origin of blood was not confirmed in FSL report.13 CRA No. 2452/2007In case of State of Rajasthan Vs.Teja Ram & Ors.[(1999) 3 SCC 507], Hon'ble Supreme Court has held as under :""Failure of the Serologist to detect the origin of the blood, due to disintegration of the serum in the meanwhile, does not mean that the blood stuck on the axe would not have been human blood at all.Sometimes it happens, either because the stain is too insufficient or due to hematological changes and piasmatic coagulation that a Serologist might fail to detect the origin of the blood.Will it then mean that the blood would be of some other origin? Such a guess work that blood on the other axe would have been animal blood is unrealistic and far fetched in the broad spectrum of this ease.The effort of the criminal court should not be to prowl for imaginative doubts.Unless the doubt is of a reasonable dimension which a judicially conscientious mind entertains with some objectivity no benefit can be claimed by the accused.It cannot be said that in all cases where there was failure of detecting the origin of the.blood the circumstance arising from recovery of the 14 CRA No. 2452/2007 CRA No. 2004/2008 CRA No. 582/2010 weapon would stand relegated to disutility.""14 CRA No. 2452/2007As the recoveries of the bloodstained gunny bag, dumb-bell, tie, etc. were made on the basis of the disclosure statement of the 15 CRA No. 2452/2007 CRA No. 2004/2008 CRA No. 582/2010 appellant himself, the chain of circumstances is therefore complete.""15 CRA No. 2452/200716 CRA No. 2452/2007All the eye witnesses have clearly identified them by their names.They have also established their active involvement with the crime along with the other appellants.Police has also seized knives from their possession, as per their memorandums.Blood stains were found on their knives.In our considered opinion, plea of alibi which was 17 CRA No. 2452/2007 CRA No. 2004/2008 CRA No. 582/2010 taken by them is purely an afterthought.All the eye witnesses have not accepted that at the time of the incident appellant Afzal and Majid were not present on the spot.It is also important to note that Rizwan (PW-9) is an injured eye witness.No suggestion has been given to him about ""not presence of the appellants Sahib @ Afzal and Majid"" on the spot or with regard to their plea of alibi.Similarly, no suggestion has been given to the other eye witnesses nor they accepted the absence of the aforesaid appellants from the spot.It is apparently clear that the story of defence witnesses is after thought.It is made during the stage of defence evidence.On the aforesaid reason we are not inclined to accept the aforesaid defence version in favour of the appellants Sahib @ Afzal and Majid.17 CRA No. 2452/2007This Court has consistently taken the view that in an appeal against acquittal the High Court has full power to review at large all the evidence and to reach the conclusion that upon that evidence the order of acquittal should be reversed.This power of the appellate court in an appeal against acquittal was formulated by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Sheo Swarup v. King Emperor [AIR 1934 PC 227] and Nur Mohammad v. Emperor [AIR 1945 PC 151].18 CRA No. 2452/2007In our opinion, learned trial Court has committed an error in acquitting Sahib @ Afzal and Majid form the charges under Sections 147, 148 and 302 read with Section 149 of IPC.Accordingly, CRA No. 582/2010 filed by the State for convicting Sahib @ Afzal and Majid is hereby allowed.Their acquittal from the aforesaid charges is hereby set aside.They are also convicted under Sections 147, 148 and 302 read with Section 149 of IPC and are awarded sentence as follows :19 CRA No. 2452/2007","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The facts as noticed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, necessary for the disposal of the present appeal, is that on 28.09.1998 at about 3:40 a.m., information was received by the Police Post, Turqman Gate, which was recorded vide DD No.3 to the effect that Sayara Bano (wife of Rizwanuddin), was admitted in the hospital by one Kayamuddin with burn injuries.Investigation of the case was marked to SI Subodh Kant who went to LNJP Hospital along with HC Anil Dutt and Constable Surya Kant and collected the MLC of the deceased.At the Police Post, SI Surya Kant met Smt. Rauf Nisha, mother of the deceased, and recorded her statement at about 8:30 a.m. In her statement, mother of the deceased informed that Sayara Bano (deceased) was her eldest daughter and was married about eighteen (18) months ago to Rizwanuddin.After her marriage, deceased used to come to her parents house almost every Sunday and would complain that her mother-in-law, Rehmat taunted her on small things and would say ""Tumne Dahej Me Diya Kya Hai, Kabare Ka Maal.Itwar Bazar Ka De Diya Hai, Jo Is Ghar Me Rakhane Layak Hi Nai Hai"".Mother of the deceased informed the police that Rizwanuddin used to come late after consuming liquor almost every day and would beat Sayara.Mother of the deceased also stated that she along with her Jethani-Smt.Salma (wife of Iqbal Ahmed), had gone to meet the mother-in-law and husband of her daughter with a view to advice them and talk to them about the grievance of Sayara, however, both of them misbehaved, abused and told them that in case she wanted her daughter to be happy, she should meet the requirements of her in-laws and pay Rs.25,000/-.Mother of the deceased also informed the police that Fifteen (15) days prior to her death, Sayara had come to her house weeping and told them that she was being harassed by her husband and mother-in-law as the payment of Rs.25,000/- was not made till then.Thereafter, mother of the deceased had gone to the house of the appellant along with Miraz, (son of her sister) and had met the appellants and assured them that Rs.25,000/- would be paid soon and left her daughter in her in-laws house.The mother of the deceased had learnt about the admission of her daughter in LNJP Hospital in a burnt condition at 3:00 a.m. from Papo, sister of Rehmat, and she reached the hospital at about 3:30 a.m. where she found her daughter lying in the hospital with burn injuries.Whenever, my daughter used to come to our house on Sunday, she used to complain that her husband came too late and used to consume liquor and that her mother in-law used to taunt her with regard to dowry.I had once gone to the house of appellants with my Jethani and on other occasion, I visited the house of appellants with my nephew Miraj.In your statement Ex.PW-4 deposed that it was incorrect that deceased, Sayara never told in front of him that her in-laws used to harass her and used to say that she does not know household work and that she had not been taught to do domestic work or that she was taunted as to what type of junk she had brought in dowry.It was incorrect that Sayara never complained to him that her husband used to consume liquor and come late in the night.PW-4 had not stated in his statement to the police that deceased, Sayara, used to complain that she was not at liberty to go anywhere as she liked.She had also not stated about the incident of Bakr Id as well as sending meat etc. PW-4 deposed that it was incorrect to suggest that any sum of Rs.25,000/- was given by his Khala to any of the in-laws of deceased, Sayara Bano.It was further incorrect that no demand was made at any time of Rs.25,000/- by Rizwanudddin.It was incorrect that deceased, Sayara, was never harassed or taunted in her in-laws house by any of her in-laws.It was also incorrect that mother-in-law and husband were not responsible for the death of deceased in any manner.13. PW-5, Salma Begum, deposed that for two-three months after her marriage, Sayara Bano, did not tell them anything but later she informed that her husband, Rizwanudin, used to come to his house after consuming liquor (daily) and beat her and that she was sick of her life.Deceased Sayara Bano also used to tell her that her mother-in-law harassed her and taunted her by saying that her father had given junk in the dowry.On one occasion, she had gone to the in-laws of Sayara Bano alongwith her Deverani and there the mother-in-law of Sayara Bano had misbehaved with them and had demanded Rs.25,000/- from them.14. PW-5, in her cross-examination deposed that in fact, deceased, Sayara Bano, had visited her house on the date when the incident took place.i.e. on 26.10.1998 and left her house at 9:00 p.m. They had tried to stop her but she stated that she was in a hurry and had to reach home at the earliest, because if she would reach her home late, a quarrel would take place at her home.As per PW-5, on that day deceased, Sayara Bano had come to her house as a function was being held in connection with the fixing of the date of the marriage of her son.PW-5 deposed that she used to accompany her devarani, sometimes, when they visited her daughters matrimonial home.Latest she had visited the matrimonial house of her daughter about 15 days/one month prior to the incident.At that time the mother of Rizwannuddin, namely Rehmat, met them.PW-5 further deposed in her cross-examintaion that Arif was residing next to the house of Rizwanuddin on the first floor.The stairs of Rizwannuddin and Arif were common upto first floor and thereafter the stairs were different for going to the second floor.When she last visited the matrimonial house of the deceased, appellant, Rehmat, had misbehaved with them and Sayara Bano and her Nanad quarreled with each other on account of cooking of the food.The appellant, however, never demanded any money from them when they visited the matrimonial house.On the last occasion, Sayara Bano told them that her mother-in-law was demanding Rs.25,000/-.PW-5 deposed that it was incorrect to suggest that she had never visited the house of the appellant 15 days/one month prior to the incident or that the appellant had never misbehaved with them.It was further incorrect to suggest that deceased, Sayara Bano never told them that her mother-in-law was demanding Rs.25,000/-.It was further incorrect to suggest that she was deposing falsely.It was also incorrect to suggest that no demand of Rs.25,000/- was made by Rizwanuddin or his mother.15. PW-8, (father of the deceased-Intzar Ahmed) deposed in his examination-in-chief that deceased, Sayara Bano, was his daughter and was married to Rizwanuddin.As per PW-8, Rizwanuddin and his mother, Rehmat, started harassing and beating his daughter, Sayara Bano, after months of the marriage.On every Sunday, when his daughter, Sayara Bano visited his house, she complained that her husband used to daily consume liquor and beat her under the influence of liquor.His daughter also told him that the accused persons used to taunt her that they have been given junk (kabarh) in dowry.PW-8 also deposed that his wife, Rauf Nisha and his bhabhi- Salma Begum, also went to the matrimonial house of the deceased.Both his wife and bhabhi tried to make the accused persons understand not to make such high demands and harass Sayara Bano, but they reiterated that their demands have to be fulfilled.Thereafter his wife and bhabhi were turned out from the house.This whole incident was narrated to him by his wife and bhabhi.Thereafter, he went to Bhavnagar, in connection with his work.He had not stated in his statement, Ex.PW-8/A, to the SDM that his wife, Rauf Nisha and his bhabhi, Salma Begum, went to the matrimonial house of the deceased.It was further incorrect to suggest that his daughter was never taunted or beaten regarding the dowry items brought.It was incorrect to suggest that Rizwanuddin never gave any beatings or harassed his daughter under the influence of liquor.It was incorrect to suggest that he was deposing falsely.19. PW-10, S.I. Champat Singh, deposed that on 28.9.98 he was posted in District Crime Team.He inspected the spot and got the place of occurrence photographed.At the spot, he found one stove containing kerosene oil, one plastic can of white colour which was without kerosene oil and smell of kerosene oil was coming.Besides this, burnt clothes and burnt match-sticks were found present there.The kerosene oil can was lying at a distance of one foot from the stove.The stove, kerosene oil can, burnt clothes and burnt match sticks were lying in open space.The plastic can was lying at a distance of about 1/1 ft. from the wall of open space.The piece of cloth having the width of 3""x1"" was found lying unburnt while its corner were found burnt and the said piece of cloth was having smell of kerosene.The cloth was of Mehroon colour (dark red colour).I also visited the room and kitchen situated on the 2nd floor.I cannot say which articles were lying in the kitchen.It is incorrect that I had never visited the spot.It is incorrect that the stove, cloth, plastic can and match sticks were not found at the spot.It is incorrect to suggest that I am deposing falsely.PW-4 has stated in his examination-in- chief that whenever Sayara Bano visited her parental house, she used to complain that her in-laws were harassing her and taunting her that she does not even know house hold work and what type of junk has been brought in dowry.PW-4 has stated that about 3/4 months prior to the death of Sayara Bano, he also came to know that Rizwanuddin had demanded Rs.25,000/- which amount had been duly paid in the house of the appellant, but he did not know as to whom the said amount was delivered.In the cross-examination by counsel for the appellant, PW-4 went back on his statement regarding the payment of Rs.25,000/- in terms of dowry.However, this statement of his does not water down the portion of his evidence wherein he has clearly stated that Sayara Bano used to remain upset on account of the continuous harassment received by her at the hands of the appellant.Appeal No.1/2001 was filed by the husband of the deceased.Appeal No.2/2001 has been filed by the mother-in-law of the deceased.By a common judgment dated 09.12.2000 and order on conviction dated 18.12.2000 both the husband and mother-in-law have been held guilty for the offence committed under Sections 498-A and 304-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as, ""IPC"").Both the mother-in-law and husband have been sentenced to undergo seven (07) years of Rigorous Imprisonment for the offence under Section 304-B of the IPC.The husband and mother-in-law have been sentenced to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for three (03) years under Section 498-A, IPC and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/-, each, and in default thereof they have been directed to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment of six months.The present appeal has been filed by the mother-in-law and is directed against the aforesaid judgement and order of conviction.On the basis of the statement of the mother of the deceased, an FIR was registered.During trial, twenty one (21) witnesses were examined by the prosecution.Four (4) witnesses were examined by the defence.Statement of the appellants was also recorded under section 313 of Cr.P.C. It would be useful to discuss the evidence of some of the material witnesses in detail.4. PW-1, Mohd. Arif (neighbour of appellants) deposed in his examination- in-chief that it was a Sunday, but he did not remember the date.About 3/4 months back, at about 1:30 a.m., he was present at his house.He heard some voices and came to the portion of Rizwan.He saw Sayara in flames (who was the wife of Rizwan).PW-1 deposed that he put water on Sayara from a tub lying there.At that time, the family members of Rizwan, were sleeping in the house.He called the family members, who were sleeping on the lower floor of the house and took Sayara to the hospital.PW-1 deposed that he did not know anything else about this case.In the cross-examination by learned APP, PW-1 deposed that his statement was recorded by the police.PW-1 also deposed that it was incorrect that when Sayara was seen by him in flames, at that time, Rizwanuddin and his mother, Rehmat, were standing there.Further, it was incorrect that he saw a white can in the hand of Rizwanuddin.PW-1 deposed that he had not stated so in his statement to the police.PW-1 was confronted with portion C of his statement, Ex.In his cross-examination by counsel for appellant, PW-1 deposed that Rizwan and deceased, Sayara, were residing together on the second floor of the house and were having separate kitchen and the appellant, Rehmat (mother of Rizwan) and other family members were residing on the ground floor of the house.PW-1 further deposed that there was a very thin wall between his house and the house of Rizwanuddin and they could hear the talks of each other from their respective portions.He had never heard any dispute or quarrel between Sayara Bano and her in-laws including her husband.He also did not hear any quarrel on the day of the incident or immediately few days prior to the occurrence.There was no neighbour present at the place of occurrence.7. PW-3, Rauf Nisha, mother of the deceased (w/o Intzar Ahmed) deposed that the marriage of her daughter, Sayara Bano took place with Rizwanuddin, about 2 years back.PW-3 deposed:My daughter was kept well by Rizwanuddin for 2/3 months after the marriage.Whenever my daughter used to come to reside with us normally on Sunday, she used to complain to me that her mother-in-law, Rehmat was not happy with the dowry brought by her and she used to taunt every time by saying that junk has been given in the dowry.(Kabari Ka Saman Diya Hai).My daughter also used to complain that her husband, Rizwanuddin used to consume liquor every day and after consuming liquor he used to bear her daily with a view to pressurize her to bring money from her parents.About 4 months prior to the incident, I accompanied by my Jethani (sister-in-law), Salma had gone to the house of appellants.There, we were abused by appellants and were turned out of the house.They had also stated that in case we wanted to see our daughter alive, we should fulfill their demands and they also demanded Rs.25000/- from me which I paid to my daughter Sayaro Bano for handing over the same to her husband, namely Rizwanuddin.Again thereafter, my daughter complained to me that appellants are again harassing her for bringing more dowry from us.About 15 days prior to the incident, my daughter, Sayara Bano, again came to meet us on Sunday and she again complained that the appellants were demanding Rs.25000/- and a flat.I had gone to meet my daughter Sayara Bano at her in-laws house in between the period of 15 days alongwith my nephew Miraj.I again met Rizwanuddin and Rehmat but they did not even care to hear.At about 3:00 a.m. on 28th of the month I was informed by Papo, sister of Rehmat that my daughter Sayara Bano has been burnt and she has been taken to JPN Hospital.I then went to JPN Hospital and there I found that my daughter has sustained burn injuries.My statement was recorded by the police as well as by Magistrate.My statement is Ex.PW-3/A which bears my signature at point-A. The statement before the SDM by me is Ex.PW-3/B which bears my thumb impression and signature at point-A.8. PW-3, mother of the deceased in her cross-examination by counsel for the appellants deposed:It was correct that the kitchen of my daughter Sayara Bano and her husband was separate from Rehmat.It is also correct that my daughter and her husband, Rizwanuddin used to reside on the second floor of the house.Rehmat with her other 5 sons and 2 daughters have been residing on the first floor of the house.On the ground floor, one Swalin resides.Adjoining to the house of appellants Arif resides on the first floor.I had visited the house of Arif many times.I cannot see what is happening in the house of appellants while remaining present in the house of Arif (PW).I was not tutored by any police officer before coming to the Court before giving the evidence.My daughter was also sick of Rizwanuddin as he used to consume liquor daily and after consuming liquor, he used to beat her.This was the only reason why my daughter was not happy with Rizwanuddin.in addition to it, she was tired of dowry demand.PW3/A you had stated to the police that my daughter came 15 days prior to the occurrence and told me that she was beaten by accused persons as we had not fulfilled the demand of Rs.25000/- and today in the Court you have stated that Rs.25000/- was paid four months prior to her death? Which of is your statement is correct.My both statements are correct.First of all we paid Rs.25000/- about 4 months prior to the incident and again a sum of Rs.25000/- and a flat was demanded about 15 days prior to the incident by the appellants.I had stated in my statement to the police that the accused persons had told us that in case we wanted to see our daughter alive, the demand of Rs.25000/- should be fulfilled (Confronted with her statement Ex.PW3/A where there is no mention of if we wanted to see our daughter alive.) I had stated in my statement made to the Magistrate that about 15 days prior to the incident, my daughter Sayara Bano came to meet us on Sunday and she again complained that the appellants were demanding Rs.25,000/- and a flat.(Confronted with her statement Ex.PW3/B where there is no mention of any incident about 15 days prior to the incident.) I had no direct talk with Rehmat who is my cousin in connection with the demand of dowry.Rehmat used to demand dowry from my daughter.Rizwanuddin, never demanded any amount or dowry from me directly.It is incorrect to suggest that no demand was ever raised by the accused persons from my daughter.It is incorrect that no amount of Rs.25000/- and flat was ever demanded or paid/given at any time.It is incorrect that I had stated about the demand of Rs.25000/- before the Magistrate on being tutored by somebody in order to falsely implicate the appellants.9. PW-4, Sh.Mirajuddin @ Miraj, deposed that deceased, Sayara Bano was the daughter of his Khala (Mausi).The marriage of Sayara Bano took place with Rizwanuddin.As per PW-4, whenever Sayara Bano used to come to her parents house, she used to complain that her in-laws were harassing her that she does not know household work and that she had not been taught to do domestic work by her parents and that she was also being taunted as to what type of junk she had brought.She also used to complain that her husband used to consumer liquor, come late in the night and she was not at liberty to go to the place where she wanted to go.PW-4 further deposed that on the eve of Bakri-Id, in 1998, his Khala (the mother of deceased) had sent meat to the matrimonial house of the deceased as per the custom but the appellants had returned the same on the third day as a result of which, his Khala felt very much upset.About 3/4 months prior to the incident he had come to know that Rizwanuddin had demanded Rs.25,000/- and his khala had paid the said amount to her matrimonial house but he could not say to whom the said sum of Rs.25000/- was delivered by his Khala at the house of the appellant.PW-4 stated to not know anything else.In his cross-examination by learned APP, PW-4 deposed that his statement was recorded by the Police and he had not stated to the police that mother-in-law of deceased, Sayara Bano used to taunt the deceased as to what junk had been given by her parents in dowry.(Confronted with his statement, portion A to A of Ex.PW/4-A where it was so recorded).He further deposed that Rizwanuddin, used to come late in the night after consuming liquor and used to beat the deceased.He had not stated to the police that Rizwanuddin used to demand money from the deceased.(Confronted with his statement portion B to B where it was so recorded).He had no knowledge that the deceased Sayara Bano came to her parents home about 15 days prior to the incident and had told that she had been badly beaten by her husband and mother-in-law.(Confronted with his statement Ex.PW/4-A portion C to C where it was so recorded).In his presence, deceased, Sayara Bano, had never told her mother that since Rs.25,000/- had not been given to the accused persons, she was being beaten up by them.He had not made such statement to the police.(Confronted with his statement portion D to D where it was so recorded).PW-4 further deposed that it was incorrect that he alongwith deceased, Sayara Bano and his Khala had gone to the house of appellants.PW-4 deposed that it was incorrect that at that time appellants were assured that Rs.25,000/- would be given to them very soon.(Confronted with his statement portion E to E where it is so recorded).When he went to JPN Hospital, he found Sayara Bano in a burnt condition.PW-4 in his cross-examination by the learned APP further deposed that it was correct that deceased, Sayara Bano used to remain upset as she was harassed by the mother-in-law and the husband on account of bringing less dowry as well as for bringing the dowry, goods of very inferior quality (Junk goods).It was correct that deceased, Sayara Bano used to say everytime, when she used to come to her parents home, that she was being harassed and taunted by them for bringing less dowry and for bringing dowry goods of inferior quality.He used to hear the conversation between the deceased and her mother and on one occasion, the deceased had told this fact in his presence to her mother.As per PW-4, it was correct that after her marriage the deceased had become weak as she was constantly taunted but otherwise, the deceased was not suffering from any disease.In the cross examination by learned counsel for the appellant, PW-4 deposed that the deceased used to say that as a result of constant harassment at the hands of her mother-in-law and Nanad, she had become weak.It was further incorrect to suggest that Sayara Bano never told her that her husband Rizwanuddin used to daily come to his house after consuming liquor and beat her and she was sick of her life.It was incorrect to suggest that Sayara Bano never told her that the appellant used to harass her and taunt her by saying that her father had given junk in the dowry.It was incorrect to suggest that the accused persons (before the trial court) were not responsible for the death of Sayara Bano.That Rs.25,000/- were demanded from Sayara and she was asked to bring the said amount from the parental house.PW-8 further deposed that Sayara Bano had taken Rs.25,000/- from his wife after 4/5 months of her marriage and had handed over the same to the accused persons (before the trial court).After 1/2 months, his daughter, Sayara Bano further told him that the accused persons were demanding one flat and a sum of Rs. 25,000/-.His daughter, Sayara Bano, also told him that the accused persons were threatening that their demands have to be fulfilled at any cost.On the night of 27/28.9.1998, he received a telephone call that his daughter, Sayara Bano, was seriously ill and he should come back to Delhi.On 28.9.1998, when he reached Delhi Airport at about 9:45 a.m., his relatives told him that his daughter had sustained burn injuries and had expired.Again said that his relatives informed him that his daughter had been burnt to death.His statement, Ex.PW-8/A, bears his signature and thumb impression at the place marked A. PW-8 also identified the dead body of his daughter and the SDM had recorded his statement Ex.PW-8/B which bears his signature and thumb impression at point A.In the cross-examination by learned APP, PW-8 deposed that it was incorrect that he himself had handed over Rs.25,000/- to his daughter for handing over the same to the accused persons.Again said he had handed over Rs.25,000/- to his daughter for handing over the same to the accused persons and at that time his wife was also there.In the cross-examination by counsel for the appellant, PW-8 deposed that it was correct that his daughter, Sayara Bano, and Rizwanuddin used to reside on the top floor of the house in a small room.There was no kitchen on the top floor and kitchen was situated on the first floor.PW-8 deposed that after four months of the marriage he came to know from his daughter that she was being harassed by her husband Rizwanuddin, who used to beat her under the influence of liquor.PW-8 deposed that he had stated in his statement, Ex.PW-8/A, that his daughter used to come to his house on every Sunday.(Confronted with his statement Ex.As per PW-8, his daughter, Sayara Bano, met him about one month prior to the incident.At this stage, a Court question was also put:""Que.You have stated in your statement before SDM that I had left for Bhavnagar in connection with my business on 16- 9-98 whereas today you have stated in the Court that you had left for Bhavnagar about one and one fourth months prior to the incident and was way away to Bhavnagar during this period.Which of your statement is correct?My statement made before the Ld. SDM in this respect that I left for Bhavnagar on 16-9-98 is correct.PW-8 further deposed that in his statement made before the SDM, he had stated that the accused persons started harassing and beating his daughter after 3/4 months of the marriage.After 4/5 months of her marriage, his daughter, Sayara Bano, told him that there was a demand of Rs.25,000/-.However, they did not make any demand directly from him.PW-8 further deposed that he paid the amount of Rs.25,000/- after one week of the demand made by the appellants.When the money was given to his daughter, Sayara Bano, he was present in his house.He had told the SDM that the accused persons were demanding Rs.25,000/- from his daughter.(Confronted with his statement Ex.PW-8/A where the name of appellant, Rehmat for demand of Rs.25,000/- was not mentioned).But PW-8 could not tell as to whom the money was handed over by his daughter after she took Rs.25,000/- from them.His daughter was depressed as her husband, Rizwanuddin, used to come to home after consuming liquor daily and used to beat her.PW-8 deposed that he had stated in his statement to the SDM that after 1/2 months after the first amount was paid, his daughter told him that there was a demand for a flat and a sum of Rs.25,000/-.(Confronted with the statement, Ex.No chance prints were found present there.In the cross-examination by counsel for the appellant, PW-10 deposed that the plastic can which was found present at the spot was of 2/2 lt. of capacity.The stove was made of iron and its tank was of round shape, which was almost full.The stove was found outside the kitchen in open space within a radius of one meter.PW-10 further deposed:I did not find any blackening sign of smoke on the walls at the second floor at the place of incident.I did not observe any burn marks on the floor on the second floor as the water was found lying at the place of incident.PW 12, Sh.Raj Kumar, SDM deposed that on 28.09.1998, information was received from the police regarding admission of Sayara in LNJP hospital, in burnt condition.He went to LNJP Hospital for recording statement of Sayara, but the doctor declared her unfit for statement.On 29.09.1998, he went to the mortuary of the hospital, where he recorded the statement, Ex. PW8/B of Intzar Anhmed and statement of Naushad Ahmed which is Ex. PW12/A. Both the relatives of deceased identified the dead body of Sayara.On the same day, he recorded the statement of Rauf Nisha which was Ex. PW3/B and she put her RTI at point A and also signed the same in his presence.He also recorded the statement of Intzar Ahmed which was Ex. PW8/A and Intzar Ahmed put his LTI and signatures at point A in his presence.The dead body of deceased, Sayara was thereafter sent for post-mortem vide his application, Ex. PW12/C .PW-16, SI Subodh Kumar has deposed that on 28.09.1998 he was posted at P.S. Turqman Gate.He left alongwith HC Anit Dutt to the spot at 1796, Turqman Gate and found an iron stove containing kerosene oil, one piece of cloth of Mehroon colour (some hair were sticking to it) and smell of kerosene oil was coming from it.He also found one plastic can from which smell of kerosene oil was coming out; one match box of slims brand which was half burnt.PW-16 correctly identified the stove (Ex. P1), plastic can (Ex. P2), cloth piece (Ex. P3) and match box (Ex. P4).In the cross-examination by counsel for the appellants, PW-16 deposed that the tank of stove was still having some kerosene but the same was partly empty and that he could not tell as to how much kerosene was found in the same.As per PW-16 he also found a gas stove inside the kitchen which was other than the stove recovered by him.Further he did not notice any marks of smoke either on the walls or on the ceiling of the second floor.The place of occurrence was an open place.He did not notice marks of smoke either on the second floor including the stairs coming down to first floor.PW-16 voluntarily deposed that the floor of the second floor was probably washed with water.He further deposed that it was incorrect to suggest that he did not conduct the investigation properly and fairly.PW-17, Dr.Sunita Kaushik has deposed that on 28.09.1998, she was working in JPN Hospital as Sr.Resident in the Burns and Plastic Surgery Department.On that day, one Mr.Rizwan r/o.1796 Turqman Gate, Delhi, was brought with the alleged history of sustaining burns while saving his wife, whose clothes had caught fire by cooking on kerosene oil stove.The history was given by the patient i.e. Rizwan himself.On examination, patient was found to have second superficial burns on both hands and a small patch on the nasal tip and cheeks.PW-17 deposed that the MLC Ex.PW-17/A was under his hand and bears his signature at point A.25. PW-19, Dr.Reena Pal has deposed that on 28.09.1998 she was working as Junior Resident in JPN Hospital, New Delhi.On that date at about 2:45 a.m. w/o Rizwan r/o 1796 Turqman Gate, Delhi was brought by Kayam, the brother-in-law of Sayara with the alleged history of sustaining burn injuries as Dupatta had caught fire from stove.The alleged history was given by the person who brought the patient.PW- 19 deposed that on examination, she found vitals to be stable; chest, heart was also normal; patient was conscious and oriented.There were burn injuries over the face, chest, abdomen and arm of Sayara.PW-19 also deposed that she gave the necessary treatment to the patient and admitted her to the burns and plastic ward.She also deposed that the MLC, Ex.PW-16/A was prepared and the same bears her signature at point-A.On cross-examination by counsel for the appellant, PW-19 stated that when history was given by the person who had accompanied the patient, the patient was at some little distance.She further deposed that she did not remember as to whether the patient was within the hearing of the aforesaid information.A question was put to this witness by the Court, as to why she did not enquire the cause of injuries from the patient? The answer was given that, since the patient was suffering from 70% burns, it was not feasible to enquire from her.However, she was able to tell her name and her husbands name, but not the address.PW-19 deposed that it was incorrect that history as written in MLC, Ex.PW-16/A was given to her by the patient or that the history given ""by brought"" were added later at the instance of police.PW-21, Inspector J.P. Singh has deposed that he was the SHO at the time when case FIR No.279/98 was registered against Rizwanuddin.He has stated that the exhibits of this case were not sent to CFSL by SI Subodh Kumar.Counsel for appellant, Rehmat, has submitted that the judgment passed by the learned trial Court is contrary to the material on record as well as the settled principles of law.As and when the aforesaid circumstances are established, a presumption of dowry death shall be drawn against the accused under section 113(B) of the EvidenceLearned counsel for the appellant contends that the trial Court committed a manifest error in convicting appellant, Rehmat and failed to appreciate the evidence as per the settled position of law.Learned counsel for the appellant has contended that neither any harassment was ever inflicted upon the deceased by appellant, Rehmat nor any demand for dowry was made by her.It is further submitted that even otherwise, there are material contradictions in the evidence of witnesses of the prosecution including PW-3 (mother of the deceased), who is the star witness of the prosecution.I have carefully examined the evidence of all the prosecution witnesses including the evidence of Rauf Nisha, mother of the",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ she used to complain that her mother-in-law (Rehmat) was not happy with the dowry brought by her and that her mother-in-law used to taunt her every time by saying that junk had been given in the dowry (Kabadi ka saman dia hai).As per PW-3, her daughter had also complained that her husband, PW-3 had also visited the matrimonial house of her daughter, Sayara along with Jethani, Salma (PW-5).At their house, both of them were abused by the appellant and threatened that in case they wanted Sayara to be alive, Rs.25,000/- should be immediately paid.Soon thereafter, Rs.25,000/- were handed over to Sayara for giving the same to her husband, Rizwanuddin.However, Sayara yet again complained that she was being harassed for bringing more dowry and about 15 days prior to the incident, Sayara had complained that another sum of Rs.25000/- and a flat was also demanded.PW-3 has further deposed that she had then visited the matrimonial house of her daughter, Sayara, along with her nephew, Miraj, however, both Rizwanuddin and Rehmat did not even care to hear them.As per PW-3, she had informed that her husband (PW-8) was out of station and as soon as he would come back they would consider the demands.I find that although PW-3 has stated in her examination-in-chief that about 15 days prior to the incident, her daughter, Sayara had complained that there was a demand of Rs.25000/- as well as a flat, however, during the cross-examination, PW-3 was confronted with her statement (Ex. PW3/B) made before the SDM on 29.09.1998 i.e. immediately on the next day of the death of Sayara Bano, where there was no mention of any incident about 15 days prior to the incident.PW- 3 was also confronted with her statement (Ex. PW3/B) wherein it was not mentioned that she had visited the matrimonial house of the deceased with her nephew Miraj.Further PW-3 admitted in her cross- examination that she did not have any direct talks with appellant, Rehmat in connection with the demand of dowry.On a careful analysis of the evidence of PW-3, I find that her major grievance of PW-3 is against Rizwanuddin (husband of the deceased) (who has since expired during the pendency of the appeal) and that her grievance against appellant, Rehmat pertains only to the fact that appellant, Rehmat used to taunt Sayara Bano that junk had been brought by her in dowry.I also find that PW-3 has admitted in her cross-examination that she never had any direct conversation with appellant, Rehmat with regard to demand of dowry.Further PW-3 has also deposed that when about four months prior to the incident (death of Sayara), PW-3 had visited the matrimonial house of Sayara, where after Rs.25,000/- were handed over to Sayara, the said amount was to be given to her husband, Rizwanuddin.None of the witnesses of the prosecution have deposed that any money in the form of dowry or otherwise was ever handed over to the appellant.Thus I find that it is not the case of PW-3 that Rs. 25,000/- were handed over to Sayara to be given to appellant, Rehmat or Rehmat benefited in any way from the amount received.In my considered opinion, on the basis of the evidence of PW-3, it cannot be said that cruelty or harassment was meted out to the deceased for or in connection with demand of dowry, by appellant, Rehmat, which had a live link between the demand and her death.Yet what is important is that there must exist a proximate and live link between the effect of cruelty based on dowry demand and the death concerned.In my considered opinion, from the deposition of PW-3, it is not established beyond reasonable doubt that soon before the death of Sayara Bano, she was subjected to cruelty or harassment by appellant, Rehmat for and in connection with demand of dowry.In so far as PW-8 (father of the deceased) is concerned, I find that PW-8 was declared a hostile witness.His daughter also told him that both Rizwanuddin and Rehmat used to taunt her that they have been given junk (kabarh) in dowry and that they were demanding Rs.25,000/-.As per PW-8, after 4/5 months of the marriage, Sayara Bano also took Rs. 25,000/- from his wife (PW-3).However, during the cross-examination, PW-8 was confronted that in his statement (Ex. PW-8/A) before the SDM, the name of appellant, Rehmat was not mentioned for the demand of Rs. 25,000/-.Further as against his deposition in the examination-in-chief, PW-8 also admitted in his cross-examination that he did not know as to whom the amount of Rs. 25,000/- was handed over by Sayara Bano after she took the said amount from the parental house.Further while PW-3 (mother of the deceased) has deposed in her cross-examination that when she had given Rs. 25,000/- to her daughter, PW-8 was out of station, contrarily, PW-8 has deposed before the Court that when the money was given to his daughter, Sayara Bano, he was present at his house.The anomaly is very much evident.PW-8 also admitted that the appellant, Rehmat, never demanded any money directly from him.Even otherwise, as already held above, the payment of Rs. 25,000/- cannot be said to have a direct bearing on the death of Sayara Bano.PW-8 has further deposed that after the initial demand of Rs. 25,000/- having been fulfilled, after 1 months, his daughter had informed him that the appellants were demanding another sum of Rs. 25,000/- and also a flat.However, yet again during the cross-examination PW-8 was confronted with his statement (Ex. PW-8/A) wherein the demand of Rs. 25,000/- was not mentioned for the second time also.In so far as the allegation of PW-8 regarding the demand of flat is concerned, I find that it is not clearly borne out from the record that appellant Rehmat was behind the said demand.A careful reading of the evidence of PW-8 (father of the deceased) before the Court would also show that he has stated that his daughter Sayara Bano and Rizwanuddin (husband of the deceased) used to reside on the top floor of the house in a small room.PW-3 has also stated that it was correct that the kitchen of her daughter, Sayara Bano, and her husband was separate from the appellant, Rehmat.PW-3 also admitted in her cross-examination that her daughter, Sayara Bano, and her husband used to reside on the second floor of the house.On the second floor, there was one room and on kitchen.Appellant, Rehmat, with her other five sons and two daughters used to reside on the first floor of the house.As such, I find merit in the contention of learned counsel for the appellant that since Rehmat (mother-in-law of the deceased) was not residing on the same floor as where the deceased and her husband Rizwanuddin were residing, and that they had a separate kitchen, I find that appellant, Rehmat had no significant role to play in the married life of the couple and even otherwise, she would not have derived any benefit out of the demand of flat.In a case bearing similar facts and circumstances namely Prem Singh Vs.State of Haryana reported at (1998) 8 SCC 70, the Apex Court gave benefit of doubt to the accused and observed that," """"when A-2 was residing separately from her son and when there was no positive evidence on the record to show that either A-2 was instigating A-1 to demand additional amount of dowry/money or for that purpose telling him to cause ill-treatment or harassment to Sumitra", it would be unsafe to hold A-2 responsible for an offence punishable under Section 304-B IPC.Moreover, such an additional payment of money was to benefit A-1 alone and not A-2 because there was no evidence on record to suggest that A-1 was helping A-2 either by giving some money and/or other benefits.If this be so, in our opinion, the High Court was not justified in convicting Shanti (A-2) for the offence under Section 304-B IPC.It is for this precise reason," we give benefit of doubt to A-2 and acquit her of the charge under Section 304-B IPC.""""On a careful analysis of the evidence of all the three prime witnesses (PW-3", PW-5 and PW-8), I am of the considered view that the allegations for demand of dowry made against appellant, Rehmat (mother-in-law) are completely general in nature and only relate to the fact that appellant, Rehmat used to taunt the deceased that junk had been given in dowry.Both PW-3 (mother of the deceased) and PW-8 (father of the deceased) have stated that no amount was directly demanded by the mother-in-law or any amount was ever paid to her.However, relying upon their evidence, it is established that appellant, Rehmat (mother-in-law of the deceased), subjected the deceased to cruelty and harassment and showed her dissatisfaction with the items of dowry and taunted the deceased.It is settled position of law that section 498-A, IPC creates a distinct and separate offence as against section 304-B, IPC.In section 498-A, IPC cruelty has been defined in the Explanation to the said section, through two limbs.The first limb of section 498-A defines cruelty in clause (a) of the Explanation as any willful conduct which is of such a nature as is likely to drive a woman to commit suicide or to cause grave injury or danger to life, limb or health (whether mental or physical).At the same time, I find that PW-5, Salma has also made a categorical statement that Sayara Bano had informed her that her mother-in-law, Rehmat used to harass her and taunt that junk had been given in dowry.Further as per PW-5, Sayara Bano had complained to her that Rizwanuddin used to daily consume liquor and beat Sayara Bano.PW-5 has also corroborated PW-3 (mother of the deceased) that on one occasion she had visited the matrimonial house of Sayara Bano along with PW-3 and that the mother-in-law of Sayara Bano had misbehaved and demanded Rs.25,000/- from them.In the cross-examination by counsel for the appellant, PW-5 has stated that when she visited the matrimonial house of Sayara Bano, the mother-in- law of Sayara Bano had misbehaved and the Nanad of Sayara Bano had quarrelled on account of cooking of food.Thus, on the basis of the evidence of PW-5, it can certainly be held that the acts of appellant Rehmat of harassment to Sayara Bano would certainly attract section 498-A, IPC but appellant Rehmat cannot be held guilty under section 304-B, IPC.Further I find that there is no evidence on record to suggest that appellant, Rehmat was present at the scene of the incident on the fateful night when Sayara Bano suffered burn injuries.Rizwanuddin (husband of the deceased) had examined himself as a defence witness.In his deposition, Rizwanuddin as DW-3 stated that he was a kabari by profession and on the fateful night intervening 12/13.09.1998, he had reached his house at around 12:15/12:30 a.m. As per Rizwanuddin he came late to the house as he had to load some vehicle in connection with his business.When he reached his house, his wife was sleeping.He woke her up and Sayara asked her to warm the food.She started preparing chapattis and since then there was no gas Sayara cooked the food outside the kitchen on a stove.She worked outside the kitchen because there was not much space in the kitchen which was of small size.While Sayara was doing all this, as per Rizwanuddin, he took a nap.Then he heard sound of cries and came out only to find that the maxi of Sayara was in flames.He got perplexed and tried to save Sayara from fire by using his hands and also made noise," """"Bachao Bachao"""".At that time", his neighbour Arif and Arifs wife, Samsad came to his house.Arif then poured water on Sayara, which was lying in a tub.Thereafter Arif went downstairs to wake up Rehmat and other family members.I find that all the four defence witnesses have stated that appellant Rehmat, and other family members of the house were sleeping downstairs when the incident took place.It is settled position of law that defence witnesses are entitled to equal treatment and equal respect as that of the prosecution and if after careful scrutiny of their evidence, the Court finds a portion thereof to be trustworthy and convincing, the same is to be relied upon.Learned counsel for the appellant has further contended that Samsad, DW-1 (wife of Arif) has categorically deposed that Sayara Bano had herself informed that she had caught fire while she was preparing food for Rizwanuddin and the said portion of her evidence has not been appreciated by the learned trial Court.No doubt as per Rizwanuddin (DW-3) and Samsad (DW-1), when Sayara was being taken to the hospital, Sayara had informed Samsad that she had caught fire accidentally and further as per Rizwanuddin, (DW-3) Sayara had also given the history of her burns to the doctor in the hospital, however, I do not find merit in the deposition of Rizwanuddin and Samsad, inasmuch as, per the MLC, Ex. PW-16/A the history of sustaining burns injury, as the dupatta caught fire, was given by the person who brought the patient.PW-19, Dr.Reena Pal has also affirmed before the Court that the alleged history of accidentally receiving burns was given by the person who brought the patient.PW-19 has deposed that on 28.09.198 while she was working as Junior Resident in JPN Hospital, New Delhi, on that date at about 2:45 a.m. w/o Rizwan r/o 1796 Turqman Gate, Delhi was brought by Kayam, the brother-in-law of Sayara with the alleged history of sustaining burn injuries as her Dupatta had caught fire from stove.The alleged history was given by the person who brought the patient.PW-19 also deposed that on examination, she found that there were burn injuries over her face, chest, abdomen and arm of Sayara.She also deposed that she gave the necessary treatment to the patient and the patient was admitted to the burns ward.She also deposed that the MLC Ex.PW-16/A was prepared and the same bears her signature at point-A. PW-19 was categorically questioned by the Court as to why did she not enquire the cause of injuries from the patient? PW-19 answered that since the patient was having 70% burns it was not feasible to enquire from her.PW-19 stated that it was incorrect to suggest that the history written in the MLC," Ex. PW-16/A was given by the patient or that the history given """"by brought"""" was added later", at the instance of the police.Nothing has been brought on record to show that Dr. Reena Pal was deposing falsely or that she was a false witness.Dr. Reena Pal, PW-19 is an independent witness and was firm in her deposition before the Court that the person who had brought Sayara to the hospital, had given the history of burns received by Sayara.The Post Mortem Report is Ex. PW14/A and bears his signatures at point A which I identify.As per section 47 of the Indian Evidence Act, which pertains to the chapter relating to 'relevancy of facts'," the opinion of any erson acquainted with the handwriting of the person who is alleged to have signed the document is relevant.Section 47 of the Indian Evidence Act reads as under:""""47. Opinion as to handwriting", when relevant.-- When the Court has to form an opinion as to the person by whom any document was written or signed, the opinion of any person acquainted with the handwriting of the person by whom it is supposed to be written or signed that it was or was not written or signed by that person, is a relevant fact.Explanation.--A person is said to be acquainted with the handwriting of another person when he has seen that person write, or when he has received documents purporting to be written by that person in answer to documents written by himself or under his authority and addressed to that person, or when, in the ordinary course of business," documents purporting to be written by that person have been habitually submitted to him.""""In the present case", PW-14 on being shown the post mortem report, deposed that the same was in the handwriting of Dr. Vinod Chauhan and bears his signatures.Since PW-14 has categorically identified the post mortem report, it cannot be said that the same has not been proved.Learned counsel for the appellant has also contended that the material seized by the prosecution was admittedly not sent for examination to the Forensic Science Laboratory and the same certainly affects the credibility of the case set up by the prosecution.I find that PW-16, SI Subodh Kumar has deposed that on 28.09.1998 he was posted at P.S. Turqman Gate and at the spot he found an iron stove containing kerosene oil; one piece of cloth of Mehroon colour (some hair were sticking to it) and smell of kerosene oil was coming from it; one plastic can from which smell of kerosene oil was coming; and, one match box of slims brand which was half burnt.PW-3," mother of the deceased has given firm evidence against her with regard to this fact.The evidence of PW-5 and PW-8 also lends support in this regard.""","['Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::Therefore, intention could not be to cause only simple injury or grievous hurt.The same is proved by PW-1 Eknath Kachare.Panchanama clearly shows that inside the police outpost, there were blood stains on the door frame, on the calender which was lying in torn condition, on the bench, on the floor and even on the wall below window.It is stated that even hair of the complainant were cut and they were found on the spot.It is said that the complainant did not state about cutting of his hair.But, injury No. 1 was such that some hair might have been cut and fallen on the ground.Absolutely, there is no reason to disbelieve the spot panchanama indicating that the incident did take place inside the police outpost.::: Downloaded on -

09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::In fact, PW-4 Head Constable Satpute is an independent witness.There is nothing to show that he had any enmity with any of the appellants or original accused persons.His evidence clearly shows that on 17.5.1991, initially accused No.2 Pradip Bhandari came and lodged complaint at about 11.00 a.m. against PW-8 Keshav alias Kanta who was then working as clerk in the office of the sugar factory.On the basis of that complaint, occurrence report (Exh.66) was prepared.PW-8 Kanta alias Keshav lodged complaint about incident that took place at 11.00 a.m, which PW-4 Satpute reduced to writing.The occurrence report (Exh.67) regarding said complaint lodged by PW-8 is just prior to the main incident.Thereafter appellants came and assaulted PW-8 Keshav.Police Head Constable Satpute (PW-4) stated that accused No.1 Rajendra Bhandari had sword and others were armed with sticks.They asked PW-8 Keshav to come out, but he refused.So, accused entered the outpost and gave blows to him with sword and sticks.Then he intervened, but he was also given stick blows.He stated that accused No. 2 Pradip and accused No.5 Sunil (appellant Nos. 2 and 3) gave him blows with sticks.Due to said blows, sword snatched by him ::: Downloaded on -

PW-5 Balasaheb Wable, PW-6 Narayan Dale, PW-7 Lahanu Garje and PW-9 Gorakshanath Rindhe were witnesses to the incident which preceded main incident at the police outpost at Kukana.PW-12 Suresh Nikam is a witness to the main incident.He deposed that he has bicycle repairing shop and hair cutting saloon at Kukana.At about 1.00 p.m., he was working in his bicycle repairing shop and on hearing shouts, he came out and saw that PW-8 Keshav was injured, his clothes were ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 ::: 18 torn, there was crowd of people.This witness has stated that appellant No.1 Raju Bhandari, Garje,Kharade and Deshmukh were present on the spot.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::Raju Bhandari was armed with something, but witness could not see it specifically.Thereby, witness wants to say that it was not a stick.Thereafter,appellant Rajendra Bhandari and others ran away.So, this witness, who has his bicycle shop at a distance of about 200 ft.from his hair cutting shop, has stated that the incident did take place in which accused No. 1 and others had taken part and PW-8 Keshav was injured.Absolutely there is no reason to disbelieve his evidence.On the other hand, accused have examined DW-1 Ashok Khate at Exhibit 109, DW-2 Dattatraya Navthar at Exhibit 114 and DW-Balasaheb Rasne at Exhibit 115 in support of the defence.It is brought on record that all these witnesses are from the same political party to which accused No.1 Rajendra Bhandari belonged and that in the elections of 1991, they were supporting the candidature of Shri Balasaheb Vikhe Patil.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::Absolutely, there is no independent evidence brought by accused in support of their defence and the evidence of these three defence witnesses is clearly of interested witnesses.Therefore, the learned trial judge did not believe their evidence regarding plea of alibi and believed the prosecution evidence as the same was so overwhelming and convincing as compared to evidence of said interested defence witnesses.Learned counsel for appellants and learned A.P.P. for Respondent-State cited some authorities.In that case, it was the defence of the accused that the original F.I.R.was suppressed by police and was substituted by another.There was failure on the part of police officer to produce the F.I.R. book in court notwithstanding the directions of the court.General diary at police station was also not produced.Inference drawn was that the original FIR was suppressed and so the prosecution case had become suspicious.The Supreme Court observed that the entire evidence was of partisan character and held in ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 ::: 20 paragraph 3 as under:::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::""Where the entire evidence is of partisan character impartial investigation can lend assurance to the court to enable it to accept such partisan evidence.but where in a murder case, the investigation itself is found to be tainted, in the sense that the original FIR was suppressed by the police, it becomes difficult for the court to sift the evidence, and the evidence of partisan eye witnesses cannot be accepted. ""In the present case, there were immediate actions, such as occurrence reports, spot panchanama etc. The spot panchanama clearly indicates that blood stains were found on the doorsteps, wall, calender and floor in the police outpost.There was also immediate medical treatment which is apparent from evidence of Medical Officer Firodia.The small difference in the evidence regarding timing was pointing out, but in my opinion the same is insignificant and immaterial.The second case which learned Advocate Shri Dhorde relied upon is Meharaj Singh vs. State of U.P.1995 Cri.In the cited case, none of the alleged eye witnesses had actually seen the occurrence.They were introduced as eye witnesses after thoughtful deliberations and considerations.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::Authenticity of FIR was lost being ante-timed and had not been recorded till inquest proceedings were over at spot.There was no evidence to show as to when the copy of FIR, special report was actually dispatched to the Magistrate.The alleged ocular testimony was contradicted by medical evidence and thus there was failure on the part of prosecution to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.For these reasons, the accused were given benefit of doubt.In the present case, it is argued that the copy of the FIR was not sent to the Magistrate and the only basis to this argument is that there was no entry in the station diary produced on record regarding sending of FIR to the Magistrate.I am not impressed by the said argument.It is true that the Head Constable Shri Shinde has proved the entry (Exh.90) which is regarding telephonic message received from the Head Constable Satpute (PW-4) about the incident and entry was taken at about 2.30 p.m. It shows that Sunil Garje (appellant No.3) and other 4-5 persons had beaten in front of Kukana police outpost and immediately police help was required to be sent.So, Police Inspector Shri Pansare and others proceeded to Kukana.Thus, it was a very short message and therefore, it was mentioned therein that the incident had taken place in ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 ::: 22 front of Police outpost, Kukana.As per evidence on record incident took place both inside and outside the outpost.Immediate complaint, spot panchanama and evidence of eye witnesses are enough to show that part of incident had also taken place inside the police outpost, so far as beating to PW-4 Head Constable Satpute and PW-8 Keshav is concerned, though PW-10 Tanaji was beaten outside the police outpost.I am not satisfied that this is a case filed out of election rivalry and the incident itself had not taken place.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::In that case, eye witnesses were highly interested and partisan and were not coming with true version.26. 2008 AIR SCW 1276 (Babu Ram vs. State of Punjab) and more particularly paragraph 13 thereof is ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 ::: 23 relied upon by learned Advocate Shri Dhorde for the appellant in support of his argument that non examination of independent witness raises doubt about truthfulness of prosecution case.However, in that case, independent witness was not examined.Overall evidence probabilised defence version.There was injury on the person of accused.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::In that case, the Supreme Court held that merely because there was some difference in the version of PW-1 so far as his statement in the court vis-a-vis statement in the FIR is concerned, that does not in any way affect the credible and cogent evidence of PWs.2 andIn our case, merely because PW-10 Tanaji chose not ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 ::: 24 to tell the whole truth, that by itself would not affect the credibility of evidence of PW-4 Head Constable Satpute and PW-8 Keshav.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 15:34:34 :::So far as plea of alibi and private defence is concerned, in para.19 following observations are made:""19......................................... The plea of alibi postulates the physical impossibility of the presence of the accused at the scene of offence by reason of his presence at another place.The plea can therefore succeed only if it is shown that the accused was so far away at the relevant time that he could not be present at the place where the crime was committed.

+"Jayapal (PW2), Swaminathan (PW3) and Kalaivanan (PW4) are the brothers of Kaliyamurthy and Ganesan.Chandra (PW1) is the wife of Kaliyamurthy.2.2 Kaliyamurthy and the family of his deceased brother Ganesan share a common boundary and naturally, they had boundary disputes.On 20.09.2014, around 11.30 a.m., when Kaliyamurthy was fencing his property, A1 to A4 objected to it.Kaliyamurthy insisted that he was fencing the property only within his boundary and proceededhttp://www.judis.nic.in 4 with the fencing work.Infuriated at that, Senthil (A1) took a billhook (aruval) and aimed a blow on Kaliyamurthy.Seeing this, Kaliyamurthy's brother Kalaivanan (PW4) interjected to protect Kaliyamurthy and the blow fell on Kalaivanan's (PW4's) shoulder.Senthil (A1) gave another blow on Kalaivanan's (PW4's) leg and injured his toe.In this melee, when Kaliyamurthy went to the rescue of his brother Kalaivanan (PW4), Sivakumar (A2) took a casuarina log and gave a hard blow on Kaliyamurthy's head, resulting in Kaliyamurthy falling unconscious, following which, Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4) also started attacking Kaliyamurthy and Kalaivanan (PW4) with sticks and thereafter, they all fled.2.3 Kaliyamurthy and Kalaivanan (PW4) were rushed to the Government Hospital, Kumbakonam by Chandra (PW1), Jayapal (PW2), and Swaminathan (PW3), where, Dr. Kamarul Jamal (PW15) examined the injured duo.2.4 Dr. Kamarul Jamal (PW15), in his evidence as well in the copy of the Accident Register (Ex.P.18), has stated that he examined Kaliyamurthy who was brought by his brother Jayapal (PW2) and found him unconscious; he was told that at 11.30 a.m., Kaliyamurthy washttp://www.judis.nic.in 5 attacked by two known persons with a log; he noted the following injury:“a lacerated would of about 10 x 2 x 1 cm.on the scalp over the left parietal region.” he referred Kaliyamurthy for further treatment to Thanjavur Medical College and Hospital since his condition was critical.2.5 Dr. Kamarul Jamal (PW15) has stated that he examined Kalaivanan (PW4) who was brought by Jayapal (PW2) and when enquired, Kalaivanan (PW4) stated that around 11.30 a.m., he was attacked by two known persons with a billhook (aruval) in the residence on his right shoulder and leg; he noted a cut injury on his right shoulder with contusion and a cut injury on his toe; he admitted Kalaivanan (PW4) as inpatient for further treatment and the accident register copy was marked as Ex.2.6 Chandra (PW1), wife of Kaliyamurthy, carried him to Sugam Multispeciality Hospital in Kumbakonam itself for treatment, where, Dr.Sundar Rajan (PW14) gave treatment to Kaliyamurthy.On getting intimation, Adhikesavan (PW18), Special Sub Inspector of Police came to Sugam Multispeciality Hospital, Kumbakonam, onhttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 20.09.2014 at 5.30 p.m. and recorded the complaint statement given by Chandra (PW1), which was marked as Ex.P.1, based on which, he registered a case in Thiruvidaimaruthur P.S. Cr.No.189 of 2014 under Section 294(b), 324, 323 and 307 IPC against A1 to A4 and prepared the printed FIR (Ex.P.22).2.7 Dr. Sundarrajan (PW14), in his evidence, has stated that Kaliyamurthy was unconscious, his blood pressure was low, he was finding it difficult to breathe and he was kept in ventilator; since his condition started deteriorating, he advised that he be taken to Cauvery Hospital in Trichy for better treatment; he issued accident register which was marked as Ex.Inasmuch as both the criminal appeals at hand arise from one judgment, viz., judgment dated 27.02.2017 passed by the II Additional District and Sessions Judge in S.C. No.267 of 2015, they are considered and decided by this common judgment.2 The prosecution story could be succinctly stated as under: 2.1 The deceased in this case is one Kaliyamurthy.His eldest brother Ganesan died over a decade ago.Senthil (A1) is the son of Ganesan.Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4) are Ganesan's daughters.Sivakumar (A2) is the husband of Punitha (A3).2.8 However, Chandra (PW1) took Kaliyamurthy to KMC Hospital in Trichy, but, they refused to admit him and so, she brought him back to the Government Hospital, Kumbakonam, where, he was declared as dead.Hence, the police filed an alteration report (Ex.P.24) altering the offence to Sections 294(b), 324, 323 and 302 IPC.On the complaint (Ex.P.1) given by Chandra (PW1), the FIR was registered, as stated above.http://www.judis.nic.in 7 3 Inquest was conducted by the police and the inquest report was marked as Ex.The body of Kaliyamurthy was sent to the Government Hospital, Kumbakonam for postmortem, where, Dr.A.Ravichandaran (PW17) performed autopsy and in his evidence as well in the postmortem certificate (Ex.P.21), he has stated as follows:“One sutured wound measuring 8 cm x 8 cm x 1 cm on the left portion of the head.Eyes closed, ear nostrils Ho, Mouth Partially opened.Tongue inside the mouth.Ribs intact.Heart 250 gms.c/s chambers empty.Lungs 400,400 c/s congested, Liver: 1500 gms.c/s congested.Spleen 150 gms c/s.Stomach empty.Hms: (N) Intestine; empty, bladder empty.Kidneys each 150 gms.c/s.Scalp: A sustained wound over left side (parietal region) about 8 cm x 1 cm below the wound.Depressed fracture of skull bone elliptical shape fracture of parietal region left.Brain: Lacerated injury over left parietal lobe over skull, fracture side, cavity fillup with blood clots.Shown no alcohol/other poisons detected.So, the final opinion is grievous injury on head and brain leads to death” 4 While so, Senthil (A1) and Sivakumar (A2) surrendered before the Judicial Magistrate, Chidambaram in Cuddalore District and not before the jurisdictional Magistrate.On coming to know of it, the Investigating Officer took them into custody on 08.10.2014 and recorded their statement.http://www.judis.nic.in 8 5 Based on the disclosure statement of Senthil (A1), the Investigating Officer recovered a billhook (aruval) – MO1, under the cover of mahazar (Ex.P.31).Based on the disclosure statement of Sivakumar (A2), he recovered a casuarina log (MO2) under the cover of mahazar (Ex.P.32).6 Meanwhile, Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4) were arrested by the police on 21.09.2014 itself and certain recoveries were effected based on their confession statements, which may not be necessary to be alluded to.7 After recording the statement of witnesses and collecting various reports, the Investigating Officer filed the Final Report in P.R.C. No.27 of 2015 before the District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate No.I, Kumbakonam, for the offences under Section 294(b), 323, 324 and 302 read with Section 34 IPC.8 On the appearance of the accused, the provisions of Section 207 Cr.P.C. were complied with and the case was committed to the Court of Session in S.C. No.267 of 2015 and was made over tohttp://www.judis.nic.in 9 the II Additional District and Sessions Judge, Thanjavur for trial.The Trial Court framed the following charges:Charge No. Array of accused Provision of law under which charged 1 A1 & A2 S. 294(b) IPC 2 A1 S. 324 IPC 3 A2 S. 302 IPC 4 A3 & A4 S. 323 IPC 5 A1,A3 & A4 S. 302 r/w S.34 IPC When questioned, the accused pleaded “not guilty”.9 To prove their case, the prosecution examined 23 witnesses, marked 33 exhibits and 3 material objects.On behalf of the accused, neither any witness was examined nor any document marked.When the accused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. about the incriminating circumstances appearing against them, they denied the same.10 After considering the evidence on record and hearing either side, the Trial Court, by judgment dated 27.02.2017, acquitted Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4), however, convicted Senthil (A1) and Sivakumar (A2) as follows:(A2) for the charge under Section 302 IPC and the complete acquittal of Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4), Chandra (P.W.1) has preferred Crl.12 Heard Mr. N. Anantha Padmanabhan, learned counsel representing Mr.A.Arun Prasad, learned counsel on record for the appellants in Crl.A. (MD) No.85 of 2017 and respondents 2 to 5 in Crl.A.

Anandharaj, Addl.Public Prosecutor appearing for the State.http://www.judis.nic.in 11 13 At the outset, it may be necessary to examine the evidence of the eyewitnesses, viz., Chandra (PW1), Jayapal (PW2), Swaminathan (PW3), and Kalaivanan (PW4).As stated above, Jayapal (PW2), Swaminathan (PW3) and Kalaivanan (PW4) are siblings and they are the paternal uncles of Senthil (A1), Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4) born to their eldest brother Ganesan.Kaliyamurthy, the deceased in this case, was the other brother.13.1 Chandra (PW1), widow of Kaliyamurthy, has stated in her evidence that there was boundary dispute between both families; her husband made arrangements for putting up a fence around their property and at that time, her brother-in-law (her husband's brother) was also there; when they were at it, A1 to A4 came to the boundary and asked her husband not to fence the property, for which, her husband, stated that he is putting up the fence only within his boundary after measuring, for which, Senthil (A1) and Sivakumar (A2) abused him and referred to him as “bastard” in vernacular; thereafter, Senthil (A1) took a billhook (aruval) and aimed a blow at her husband; on seeing this, her husband's brother Kalaivanan (PW4) intervened and the blow fell on his shoulder; once again, Senthil (A1) attacked Kalaivanan (PW4) and the blow fell on his leg; when her husbandhttp://www.judis.nic.in 12 intervened, he was beaten with a casuarina log on his head and he fell down.She identified M.O.1 as the billhook (aruval) that was used by Senthil (A1); M.O.2 as the casuarina log used by Sivakumar (A2) and M.O.3 series as sticks used by Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4).Chandra (PW1) has further stated that the injured were taken to the Government Hospital, Kumbakonam, from where, her husband was taken to Sugam Multispeciality Hospital at Kumbakonam and from there, he was taken to K.M.C. Hospital, Trichy and from the said hospital, he was brought back to the Government Hospital, Kumbakonam, where, he was declared brought dead.13.2 Kalaivanan (PW4) has stated that he retired as Bus Conductor; the accused are living next to the house of his brother Kaliyamurthy; his eldest brother Ganesan, who is the father of Senthil (A1), died ten years ago; there was property dispute between Kaliyamurthy and his eldest brother Ganesan's children; on 20.09.2014, around 11.30 a.m., Kaliyamurthy wanted to put up a fence around his property, which was objected to by Ganesan's children, for which, Kaliyamurthy stated that he is putting fence only on his side of the property; Senthil (A1) abused him in vulgar words and came to hack him; on seeing this, he (PW4) intervened; the blowhttp://www.judis.nic.in 13 fell on his shoulder and so, he fell down and again, Senthil (A1) hacked him on his leg and caused injury to his toe; when Kaliyamurthy came to his (PW4's) rescue, Sivakumar (A2) took a casuarina log and gave a hard blow on Kaliyamurthy's head by saying ""All the problems are because of you only and it is better you die (free translation); his brother (Kaliyamurthy) fell down and the women also started hitting with sticks, after which, they all ran away; thereafter, both of them were taken to the hospital where he was admitted as inpatient; but, his brother was advised to be taken to Thanjavur Government Hospital; while he (PW4) was in the hospital, he learnt that his brother died at 4.30 a.m. the next day.He identified the billhook (aruval) that was used by Senthil (A1) as M.O.1, the casuarina log used by Sivakumar (A2) as M.O.2 and the sticks used by Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4) as M.O.3 series.13.3 The evidence of Jeyapal (PW2) and Swaminathan (PW3), who are the other two brothers of Kalaivanan (PW4) and the deceased Kaliyamurthy are also to the same effect.14 The Trial Court has believed the testimony of Kalaivanan (PW4), injured witness and has returned a finding that Kalaivananhttp://www.judis.nic.in 14 (PW4) was attacked with a billhook (aruval) by Senthil (A1) and Kaliyamurthy was attacked with a casuarina log.However, the Trial Court has disbelieved the evidence of the eyewitnesses that Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4) had also joined the attack, though their presence has not been disbelieved and has eventually acquitted Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4).15.1 The complaint (Ex.P.1) given by Chandra (PW1) cannot be true because Selvabharathy (PW9), Kaliyamurthy's daughter has, in the cross-examination, stated that after the attack, they all went to the police station first and only thereafter, to the hospital; hence, the evidence of Chandra (PW1) and Kalaivanan (PW4) that they went first to the hospital stands belied.Our reasoning: However, it is to be noted that Selvabharathy (PW9) has clearly deposed with regard to the attack that was mounted by Senthil (A1) and Sivakumar (A2) and has amply corroborated thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 15 evidence of Chandra (PW1), Jayapal (PW2), Swaminathan (PW3) and Kalaivanan (PW4).Selvabharathy (PW9) was aged about 17 years when she was examined in the Court on 24.01.2017 with regard to the incident that had taken place on 20.09.2014, when she would have been 14 years old.The Trial Judge has posed preliminary questions to find out whether she has the necessary understanding of the Court proceedings.The fact remains that after sustaining the injury, Kaliyamurthy had fallen unconscious and Kalaivanan (PW4) was bleeding with cut injury.When that being so, they would have been taken first to the hospital and not to the police station.As against this stray statement of Selvabharathy (PW9), we have the overwhelming evidence of Chandra (PW1), Jayapal (PW2), Swaminathan (PW3) and Kalaivanan (PW4) who have all, in unison, stated that after the attack, the injured were taken to the Government Hospital, Kumbakonam.Ergo, we cannot place much credence on the stray statement of Selvabharathy (PW9) that the injured were first carried to the police station and only thereafter, to the hospital.15.2 Jayapal (PW2) has stated that the Village Administrative Officer and Surveyor were present at the place of occurrence and that their non-examination is fatal to the prosecution case.http://www.judis.nic.in 16 Our reasoning: We are unable to persuade ourselves to agree with this contention, because, apart from the stray statement of Jayapal (PW2) that the Surveyor and Village Administrative Officer were present at the place of occurrence, there is no other material to show that they were present there.Had the Surveyor and Village Administrative Officer been present for measuring the land, the incident would not have taken place, because, the accused would not have dared to prevent the Surveyor and Village Administrative Officer from measuring the land.Even assuming for a moment that the Surveyor and the Village Administrative Officer were present at the place of occurrence, their non-examination cannot be said to be fatal, because, we have the evidence of the injured witness Kalaivanan (PW4), whose evidence, the defence were not able to demolish even a wee bit.The injury sustained by Kaliyamurthy has been corroborated by the evidence of Dr.Kamarul Jamal (PW15) and the Accident Register copy (Ex.P.18).15.3 Swaminathan (PW3) has stated in the cross-examination that the incident had occurred for about 45 minutes and the altercation occurred for about 5 minutes; further, the witnesses have also statedhttp://www.judis.nic.in 17 that Senthil (A1) took a bilhook (aruval) that was lying on the ground and caused the injury, which shows that there was no premeditation on the part of the accused; thus, it is clear that Kaliyamurthy provoked the accused by picking up a quarrel and the attack was due to the grave and sudden provocation.Our reasoning: It is trite that if an accused wants to bring his case within any legal exception, the onus is on him under Section 105 of the Evidence Act. Of course, this onus can be discharged by preponderance of probability and also by pointing out the circumstances available in the evidence on record in support of the claimed exception.However, in the cross-examination of Kalaivanan (PW4), it has been suggested that no incident, as alleged by him, had taken place and that he got injured somewhere in his house, with which, a case has been foisted on the accused.Even in the Section 313 Cr.P.C. examination, the accused have not stated that Kaliyamurthy abused them and provoked them to attack.Assuming for a moment that the family of Kaliyamurthy being neighbours and also close relatives, had animosity towards the accused, no ill-motive has been attributed to Jayapal (PW2), Swaminathan (PW3) and the injured witness, viz., Kalaivanan (PW4) who all are the paternal uncles ofhttp://www.judis.nic.in 18 Senthil (A1), Punitha (A3) and Jayanthi (A4).In fact, they have all stated that they were having good relationship with the family of their deceased brother Ganesan and they had no property dispute with the accused.Jayapal (PW2) and the injured witness Kalaivanan (PW4) have stated that Senthil (A1) used vulgar words at his uncle Kaliyamurthy when Kaliyamurthy insisted that he was going to put up the fence only within his boundary.15.4 Chandra (PW1) and Swaminathan (PW3) could not have been an eyewitness to the incident, because, Kalaivanan (PW4) has stated that before his going to the place of occurrence, Kaliyamurthy and Jayapal (PW2) were there and he did not see the Surveyor and Village Administrative Officer.In this context, the learned counsel for the accused harped upon the statement of Kalaivanan (PW4) “Besides us, no one was there”, and contended that Swaminathan (PW3) and Chandra (PW1) were also not there.http://www.judis.nic.in 19 Our reasoning: In our opinion, this is an utter misreading of the evidence.When a leading question was put to the witness as to whether Kaliyamurthy and Jeyapal (PW2) were there before his going, he has stated in the affirmative.Therefore, to the leading question put to him, he has stated that he did not see the Village Administrative Officer and Surveyor.After saying so, he has stated that besides them, none was there.He excludes the Village Administrative Officer and Surveyor, because, he did not see them.The incident had taken place in the compound of Kaliyamurthy and it was natural for his wife Chandra (PW1) to have been there when such a commotion was taking place.Chandra (PW1) was not a stranger and her presence at the place of occurrence, which is her house, is indubitably natural.Therefore, we are in complete agreement with the findings of the Trial Court that Senthil (A1) attempted to hack Kaliyamurthy, but, on the intervention of Kalaivanan (PW4), the blow fell on Kalaivanan's (PW4's) shoulder.After the second attack on Kalaivanan (PW4) by Senthil (A1), Kaliyamurthy came to the aid of his brother, seeing which, Sivakumar (A2) hit him on his head with a casuarina log and caused injury.We also hold that the prosecution have proved that Senthil (A1) and Sivakumar (A2) had abused their paternal uncle Kaliyamurthy in filthyhttp://www.judis.nic.in 20 language and Sivakumar (A2), while attacking Kaliyamurthy, has stated that he (Kaliyamurthy) is the root cause for all the troubles.16 Now, comes the strange findings of the Trial Court.“20 Against the 1st accused, the specific charge u/s 302 r/w 34 IPC.As per the evidence of above stated eye witnesses the 1st accused have not attacked the deceased Kaliamurthy and even he has not touched the body of the deceased Kaliyamurthy before or after death.So, mere participation of the 1st accused at the occurrence place along with the 2nd accused.21 In this case, the 1st accused attacked PW4 Kalaivanan.But, originally, the 1st accused started to attack deceased Kaliamurthy.But, unfortunately, PW4 Kalaivanan intervened and got the blow from the 1st accused on his shoulder and leg.From the above said attack, the deceased Kaliamurthy escaped.Then the 2nd accused took revenge and attacked Kaliamurthy with wooden log.Due to the attack of the 2nd accused, Sivakumar deceased kaliamurthy fell down and became unconscious.The attack made by Sivakumar caused grievous injury to the deceased Kaliamurthy.The injury caused by the 1st accused to PW4 Kalaivanan only simple.In the above said occurrence, the 1st accused has not made any attack on the deceased Kaliamurthy.Both the accused 1 and 2 have not made any preparation for committing murder.The attack caused by the 1st and 2nd accused are only without any intention to cause death, as per the evidence of PW4, PW2 who are the prime eye witness in the occurrence place.While the deceased Kaliamurthy was making arrangements to put uphttp://www.judis.nic.in 21 fence, the accused came and asked them not to put up fence and do the same after completing the measurement.So, they have not stated anything aggressively as against the interest of the deceased Kaliamurthy.The evidence of PW4 and PW2 clearly reveals that the accused 1 & 2 suddenly provocated on hearing the reply from the deceased Kaliamurthy, the 1st accused suddenly provocated and attempted to attack Kaliamurthy with aruval.It could arise and be formed suddenly, as for example when one man calls on bystanders to help him kill a given individual and they, either by their words or their acts, indicate their assent to him and join him in the assault.He gave a second blow to Kalaivanan (PW4) for having come to the rescue of Kaliyamurthy, which fell on Kalaivanan's (PW4's) leg cutting his toe.When Kaliyamurthy came to the rescue of Kalaivanan (PW4), Sivakumar (A2) took a casuarina log and gave one solid blow on Kaliyamurthy's head by saying that all these problems were because of him (Kaliyamurthy) only and that he should be no more.Though at the first blush, this argument did sound reasonable, but, the evidence on record militates against such ahttp://www.judis.nic.in 25 conclusion.Hence, instead of taking Kaliyamurthy that far, Chandra (PW1) took him to Sugam Multispeciality Hospital in Kumbakonam itself for better treatment.There, Dr. Sundarrajan (PW 14) treated Kaliyamurthy and put him on ventilator.His pulse rate was coming down and he was gasping for

+"Around 13.00 hours, M.S.Pandian, son-in-law of V.K.Gurusamy, who was known to her, came there running and rushing inside the house where Jeyanthilal is residing in the ground floor.It is, at that time, 5 persons armed with deadly weapons chased the said M.S.Pandian and trespassed into the house and all of them attacked M.S.Pandian repeatedly with aruvals 5/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019 and swords.When Vasantha tried to prevent them, the five persons threatened to cut and kill her also.Therefore, she raised alarm.However, the said M.S.Pandian was indiscriminately attacked.Thereafter when she went inside the house, she found M.S.Pandian was lying in a pool of blood with cut injuries.An amputated finger of M.S.Pandian was found inside the house.At the entrance of the house, a bullet and a broken cell phone were also found.Thereafter, the said victim was shifted to nearby Velammal Hospital by an ambulance.However, he was pronounced dead by the doctors.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor further submitted that thereafter, Vasantha came to B4 Keeraithurai Police Station and prepared a complaint statement requesting action, based on which a FIR in B4 Keeraithurai P.S.Cr.No.412/2016 for offences under Sections 147, 148, 448, 506(ii) and 302 of IPC was registered.After thorough investigation, the detenu Manikandan @ Chinna Vavuthalai, S/o.Alagarsamy and Muthupandi, S/o.Further, the investigation reveals that there was a previous enmity prevailing between V.K.Gurusamy and Rajapandi of Keeraithurai area over political rivalry and family disputes for years together.Due to that, both the parties carried out their revenge murders.Recently, V.K.Gurusamy's son V.K.G.Mani and Son-in-law M.S.Pandian kidnapped Thoppilli Muniyasamy S/o.Rajapandi, murdered him and burnt his body into ashes.Therefore, in order to take revenge, the supporters of Rajapandi murdered one Muniyasamy on 12.06.2018 mistaking him as M.S.Pandian.In continuation, Kalimuthu @ Vellaikali, relative of Rajapandi insisted Boomi @ Boominathan on several occasions to murder M.S.Pandian.Under such circumstances, the accused Boomi @ Boominathan joining with other accused Rambabu, Selvam @ Pinam Thinni, Soundarapandi @ Pachaikari came in a car armed with deadly weapons driven by Padam @ Muniyasamy.The detenu Manikandan @ 7/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019 Chinna Vavuthalai followed them on a two wheeler with Muthupandi as a Pillion Rider.Muthukumar @ Pattakumar was driving another two wheeler with Vinothkumar @ Seda Vinoth as pillion rider and followed them and all of them rushed to Nagupillai Thope.After seeing M.S.Pandian going on walk, Boomi @ Boominathan, who was in the car shot M.S.Pandian with a pistol in his possession.On hearing the sound, M.S.Pandian, escaped from them and ran away.Immediately Boomi @ Boominathan, Selvam @ Pinam Thinni armed with big aruval, Soundarapandi @ Pachaikari armed with a big sword, Muthupandi and the detenu Chinna Vavuthalai armed with deadly weapons chased M.S.Pandian and attacked him indiscriminately.On seeing this, when Vasantha tried to prevent them, the assailants threatened her also and fled away from there by car and two wheelers.They have also robbed a Two Wheeler TN 59 BP 5477 creating panic and feeling of insecurity in the minds of the local people and thereby acted in a manner prejudicial to the public order.Even the shopkeepers there also closed their shops and the vehicle riders came on that way also returned.8/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019Moreover, Bhuvaneswaran @ Bhuvanesh @ Kocha S/o.Ganesa on his arrest has given a confession statement on 25.04.2019 and he was remanded to judicial custody.Besides, Muniyasamy @ Padam Muniyasamy, S/o.Muthu was arrested on 26.04.2019 and his confession statement was recorded.Thereafter, he was produced before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.IV , Madurai on 26.04.2019 and remanded to judicial custody.When the investigation team was searching the other accused, Soundarapandi @ Pachaikari S/o.Chellapandi, Vinothkumar @ Seda Vinoth, S/o.Chinnapandi and Rambabu, S/o.I, Trichy on 24.04.2019 and remanded to judicial custody at the Central Prison, Trichy.(Order of the Court was made by T.Raja, J.) Mrs.Angala Eswari, W/o.Alagarsamy has filed this Writ of Habeas Corpus, challenging the validity of the impugned order of detention dated 15.07.2019 passed by the Commissioner of Police, Madurai, the 2nd respondent herein in Proceedings in No.41/BCDFGISSSV/2019, to quash the same and to set her son Manikandan @ Chinna Vavuthalai, S/o.Alagarsamy at liberty.Therefore, the 2nd respondent appears to have inferred that there is a real possibility of the detenu coming out on bail in the above case and if he comes out on bail, he would indulge in future activities which would be prejudicial to the maintenance of public order.The above reasoning given by the Detaining Authority shows that the Detaining Authority has not applied his mind properly for the reason that the 2 nd respondent failed to consider the fact that at the time of passing the detention order whether the said bail application was pending before the Sessions Court or not, but nowhere in the detention order the detaining authority mentioned about the date of filing bail application, 3/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019 date of hearing, date of pending disposal whereas the detention order has been passed on 15.07.2019 without verifying the pendency of the bail application.Hence, this non-application of mind would vitiate the impugned detention order, it is pleaded.The learned Counsel for the petitioner further submitted that when the detention order says that the co-accused Muniyasamy @ Padam Muniyasamy was granted bail by the Madurai Bench of this Court, it has to be seen that the said Muniyasamy was granted bail on the ground that though he had two previous cases, but the same are not similar in nature.Insofar as the present detenu is concerned, the Sponsoring Authority did not place the entire materials before the Detaining Authority.For all these reasons, the impugned order is liable to go.A detailed Counter affidavit has been filed by the 2nd respondent, the Commissioner of Police, Madurai city, Madurai.Though the detenu also has moved the bail application, the same was pending.As per the ground case, one Vasantha, w/o.Pandian is residing at Flat No.572, TNHB Colony, Anuppanadi, Madurai for rent and her ancestral house is located at Door No.50/216, Subbammal Compound, Sinthamani Main Road, Madurai.While so, one Jeyanthlal is residing at the ground floor for lease whereas one Seenivasan is residing at the first floor of the house for rent.On 18.04.2019 at about 12.00 hours, Vasantha came to the said house and was sitting on the stairs in the ground floor.Kumar were arrested on 24.04.2019 and their confession statements were also recorded.Thereafter, the duo were produced before the Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Madurai on 24.04.2019 and remanded to judicial custody at the Central Prison, Madurai.On 26.04.2019, they were transferred to the Central Prison, Madurai.Thereafter, the trio were taken to police custody on 27.04.2019 and their confession statements were recorded.Moreover, the case properties, namely, a 9/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019 sword was seized from Soundarapandi @ Pachaikari, a Hero Honda Splender Two Wheeler was seized from Vinothkumar @ Seda Vinoth and one Two Wheeler was seized from Rambabu on 28.04.2019 under attachi.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor further submitted that the representation dated 02.08.2019 submitted by the petitioner addressed to the State Government marking a copy to the Detaining Authority was received by the Detaining Authority on 05.08.2019 from the petitioner and remarks for the same were called for from the Sponsoring Authority on 05.08.2019 and the remarks which were received from the Sponsoring Authority on 06.08.2019 were sent to the Government on the same day without any delay.Therefore, there is no infirmity in the detention order passed by the 2nd respondent.10/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 20199. Heard the learned Counsel on either side and I have also perused the typed set of papers including the detention order carefully.At the outset, it is an admitted case that after killing M.S.Pandian, when the investigation team was searching the offenders, the detenu Manikandan @ Chinna Vavuthalai and his associate Muthupandi were arrested on 24.04.2019 Thereafter, the duo were produced before the Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Madurai on 24.04.2019 and remanded to judicial custody at the Central Prison, Madurai.Besides, the accused Boomi @ Boominathan was surrendered before the learned II Metropolitan Magistrate, Chennai on 25.04.2019 and was remanded to judicial custody till 03.05.2019 at the Puzhal Prison, Chennai.The accused Rambabu along with other accused surrendered before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Trichy on 24.04.2019 and remanded to judicial custody at the Central Prison, Trichy.Moreover, a sword was seized from Soundarapandi @ Pachaikari.On the basis of the confession statements given by them, it appears that a Hero Honda 11/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019 Splender Two Wheeler was also seized from Vinothkumar @ Seda Vinoth and one another two wheeler was seized from Rambabu on 28.04.2019 under attachi.Thereafter, all these three accused were produced before the Judicial Magistrate No.IV, Madurai and their remand period has also been extended.While so, the representation dated 02.08.2019 submitted by the petitioner to the State Government marking a copy to the Detaining Authority was received by the Detaining Authority on 05.08.2019 and remarks for the same were called for from the Sponsoring Authority on the same day and remarks were received from the Sponsoring Authority on 06.08.2019 which were sent to the Government on the same day itself without any delay.Secondly, the detenu was in remand in the ground case in Crime No.412/2019 of B4 Keeraithurai Police Station for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 448, 506(ii) and 302 of IPC altered into Sections 147, 148, 448, 506(ii), 392 and 302 of IPC and Section 25(1- A) of the Arms Act, 1959 altered into Section 120-B, 147, 148, 448, 506(ii), 392, 302 of IPC and 25(1-A) Arms Act, 1959 in Central Prison, Palayamkottai and on the date of passing of the detention order i.e. on 12/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019 15.07.2019, the bail application filed in Crl.M.P.No.2392/2019 was pending disposal.13/16http://www.judis.nic.in HCP.(MD) No.811 of 2019Since a Full Bench of this Court in Arumugam vs. State of Tamil Nadu rep. by its Secretary to Government, Home, Prohibition & Excise Department, Fort St. George, Chenni-9 and another reported in 2011 (4) CTC 353 has held that even a single incident giving rise to a single case would be sufficient and if that single case is of the nature as defined in Section 3 of the Act, there can be a valid order of detention.In view of all the above, we find no infirmity in the order detaining the detenu Muthupandi, S/o.Kumar under the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug Offenders, Forest Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders, Sand Offenders,

+"Prosecution story in short was that on 11.11.2018 social worker reported at Police Station, Kotwali, Alirajpur regarding trafficking of children being carried out by one Shailendra Singh Rathore.The Police thereafter deputed decoy in order to apprehend the concerned.The deputed punter approached Shailendra Singh Rathore and gave him pre-marked currency for purchasing child.Shailendra Singh Rathore was then caught giving child to the decoy witnesses in presence of four other co-accused persons viz. Devisingh, Dines, Baisingh and Rinku.P.C seeking bail in connection with crime No.389/18 registered at Police Station Alirajpur, district Alirajpur for the offence punishable under sections 363, 370, 34, 120(b), 420, 467 & 468 of the IPC and under section 81 of the Juvenile Justice Act.The case was registered and during investigation, it was found that one Dr.A.Raju, running Kesar Surgical and Maternity Hospital at Chhota Digitally signed by Hari Kumar Nair Date: 20/03/2019 15:50:49 2 Udaipur, Gurarat was involved along with his staff in selling children.After investigation charge sheet has been filed under sections 360, 370, 363/34, 120-B, 420, 467 & 468 of IPC along with section 81 of the Juvenile Justice Act.The allegation against the applicant Sayrabanu, who is Nurse in the hospital of Dr.A.Raju is that she had sold child to one Samdani Memon and had been given Rs.4000/- as commission.Learned counsel for the applicant Shri Dave submits that memorandum of Sayrabanu was recorded on 20.11.18 at 12.40 P.M, however, even prior to that memorandum of Dr.A.Raju was recorded concerning the same subject matter on 20.11.18 only at 7.15 A.M and recovery of child was made at 1.05 P.M on 20.11.2018, therefore, it cannot be stated that recovery of child was made on the basis of memo of Sayrabanu.Learned counsel submits that thus there is no discovery on the basis of memorandum of Sayrabanu.It is also stated that no recovery of any money was also made from the applicant.There are other connected matters along with this matter.It is also submitted that kids which were allegedly traded were such kids as were born out of illicit relationships and were given away by their mothers as they were unable and un-inclined to rear them up.Such children were being reared by person acquiring them as their own children and they were not subjected to any kind of abuse.Per contra, learned counsel for the State has submitted that children were being sold of like commodities against the provisions of law and such illegal practice had thrown the door open to exploitation of children as there was no means of supervising as to whether children are being exploited or not and their interests are being served or not.Case diary was perused and arguments were considered.Prima facie, it appears that children were being traded like commodity but it does not appear that they were being sold for exploiting them.All those persons who have bought the children have been shown to be bringing them up in normal manner and some of the purchasers have even demanded custody of the children.There is substance in the submission that there is no evidence to suspect trafficking of children since there is no evidence regarding trading of children for exploitation.The applicant is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with one solvent local surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court for her regular appearance before the trial court during trial with a condition that she shall remain present before the court concerned during trial and shall also abide by the conditions

preliminary investigation and PW16 is the Inspector of Police, who conducted further investigation and filed final report in this case.11.The incriminating materials from the evidence of the prosecution witnesses were put to the accused, under Section 313 CrPC and the accused denied the same and he also stated that there are witnesses in support of his case, but, he did not examine any one.In conclusion of the trial, the trial Court found the appellant guilty, convicted and sentenced him as stated supra.12.Aggrieved over the same, the appellant has filed this present appeal.http://www.judis.nic.in 8/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 201414.The learned Counsel for the appellant would submit that the deceased and the prosecution witnesses are the close relatives to PW1 and all the witnesses are not real eye witnesses and they are created witnesses for the purpose of this case.The evidence of the prosecution witnesses as eye witnesses cannot be relied upon in this case.According to PW1, he specifically, stated in his evidence that he did not witness the occurrence and he reached the place after the commission of offence.PW2 is the wife of the deceased.Though she was examined as an eye witness, she did not support the case of the prosecution.She was also working as Washerwoman and used to go to wash cloths.PW3 is the grand son of the deceased who was also examined as an eye witness that he was present at the place of occurrence and he came to his grandfather's house for the purpose of preparing for examination.But he did not accompany the deceased to the hospital and therefore, he could not be present at the time of occurrence.PW4 is the son of the accused, he was residing at the adjacent street and he was sleeping in his house athttp://www.judis.nic.in 9/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 the time of occurrence and he was not directly aware of the occurrence.He also did not accompany the deceased to the hospital.It is also not the case of the prosecution that the daughter-in- law of the deceased Lakshmi alias Mahalakshmi was present at the place of occurrence and therefore, the evidence of the eye witness produced by the prosecution are not reliable witness and there are contradictions in their evidence and therefore, it is not safe to rely upon the evidence of the eye witnesses.He also pointed out that in the Accident Register[ExP.6], the Doctor [PW9], who admitted the deceased has specifically mentioned that there was breath smell of alcohol noticed at the time of admitting the deceased in the hospital.The drinking habit of the deceased has also been stated by PW1, PW2 and PW4 and the postmortem Doctor [PW10] has also noticed the presence of 100 ml brownish liquid with pungent odour athttp://www.judis.nic.in 10/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 the time of postmortem and therefore, the deceased, who was under the influence of liquor fell down on the slab, sustained injury and died.Further the prosecution has projected the case as if, it is the appellant, who has pushed the deceased on the cement slab and due to which, the deceased succumbed to injury.Though the First Information Report was registered on 28.12.2010, it reached the Court only on 29.12.2010 at 11.00am and there is a delay in the FIR reaching the Court and this delay has not been properly explained by the prosecution.The postmortem certificate also discloses that the deceased died due to raino cerebral injuries and the Doctor, who conducted the postmortem has noted down the antemortem injuries that an abrasion 3 cms X 2 cms over the left thigh and on dissection of scalp, subcalpal contusion measuring 12 cms X 10 cms on the left temporal - parietal region.State of Gujarat, reported in AIR 2004 SC 313, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that the reliability of the witnesses cannot be discarded on the theory of relative of the deceased.Even if they are relatives, if the evidences are trustworthy and reliable, then the Court can consider their evidence and can sustain conviction.Consequent to that the victim died in this case and therefore, the prosecution has established its case beyond reasonable doubt and the trial Court has considered all the evidence and held that there is a death as homicidal one, rightly convicted and imposed sentence on the accused.He also noted the breath smell of alcohol when he admitted the deceased in the hospital.The deceased was referred to Rajaji Government Hospital, Madurai, for further treatment, but he died on the next day around 6.30am.The Doctor [PW10] at Rajaji Government Hospital, Madurai conducted postmortem and noted down 100ml brown colour liquid with pungent odour in the stomach and 20ml of stained fluid with pungent odour in the small intestines.The defence has taken a theory that the deceased was a drunkard and on the date of occurrence under the influence of liquor, he fell down on the cement slab, sustained injury and died due to that injury.However, the prosecution has foisted this case, as if, the accused pushed him down on the date ofhttp://www.judis.nic.in 13/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 occurrence and on account of which, the occurrence has taken place.The case of the prosecution is that the deceased and the accused are neighbours and the accused used to put garbage near the house of the deceased and that was questioned by the deceased and on the date of occurrence also the accused put the garbage near the house of the accused and when that was objected to by the deceased, the accused picked up a quarrel and also pushed him down and the deceased fell down and sustained injuries.19.In support of the prosecution case, the prosecution has examined PW1 to PW5 as eye witnesses.PW1 is the brother of the deceased, who took the deceased to the hospital on 28.12.2010 and admitted him in the Government Hospital at Virudhunagar.He was residing two furlong away from the house of the deceased.He was examined as an eye witness and he also stated in his chief examination that he witnessed the occurrence, but during his cross examination, he admitted that he came to the place of occurrence only after hearing the incident and reached the place of occurrence 10 minutes after the occurrence and at that time his brother was sitting on the pier and he enquired his brother's wife PW2 and through PW2 he came to know about the occurrence and also admitted thathttp://www.judis.nic.in 14/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 he did not witness the occurrence.So far as PW2 is concerned, she is wife of the deceased and she was also examined as an eye witness.According to her, she is working as Washerwoman and she also used to go to wash clothes in the morning and her husband also used to go to iron the cloths near Kamarajar Statute adjacent to Municipality and on the date of occurrence, her husband was sleeping on the pier after taking meals, she is said to have accompanied PW1 to the hospital, however, according to her no bloodstain was found on her clothes.But, there was no undigested food particles on the stomach.PW3 the grandson of the deceased, was studying B.Tech at Srividhya College at a different place and he was also residing near the place and on the date of occurrence, he was present in the place of occurrence and for the purpose of studying, he came to his grand parents house and that he is said to have witnessed the occurrence, but, he did not accompany the deceased to the hospital.The conduct of PW3, being a B.Tech student and also the grandson of the deceased, though he was present at the place of occurrence, he said to have not accompanied the deceased to the hospital, raises doubt, as to whether he was present at the place of occurrence or not?http://www.judis.nic.in 15/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 201420.PW4 is the son of the deceased.Admittedly, he is residing several furlong away from his father's house and on the date of occurrence, he was sleeping in his house and on knowing about this incident, he came to the place of occurrence and he has also not witnessed the occurrence and at the time of occurrence he was sleeping in his house.21.PW5 is the neighbour and also a relative of the deceased and he was also examined as an eye witness in this case.During the course of examination, he stated that there was a quarrel between the accused and the deceased and at that time the daughter-in-law of the deceased namely, Lakshmi alias Mahalakshmi has pacified the deceased and the accused.But the said Lakshmi alias Mahalakshmi was not examined by the prosecution in this case and it is not the case of the other witnesses that the daughter-in-law of the deceased Lakshmi alias Mahalakshmi was present at the place of occurrence on the date of occurrence.The evidence of PW5 in this regard is contrary to the evidence of other witnesses and therefore, the evidence of PW5 cannot be relied.22.Now coming to the case of the prosecution that there was a quarrel between the deceased and accused onhttp://www.judis.nic.in 16/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 account of the accused throwing garbage in front of the house of the deceased.However, in the observation mahazar or in the rough sketch, there is no reference about the garbage thrown by the accused.Moreover, the sketch and the observation mahazar show a pit in the middle of the road, which was dug by the Municipality for laying underground drainage and the place of occurrence is shown in the middle of the road near the drainage.The place of occurrence is also shown away from the house of the deceased.23.PW1 the brother of the deceased, PW2 wife of the deceased, PW3 the grand son of the deceased, have uniformly stated that the deceased was in the habit of drinking liquor.Though PW1 to PW3 have stated that on the date of occurrence, the deceased has not consumed any liquor, the evidence of the Doctor [PW9], who admitted the deceased at the Government Hospital at Virudhunagar on 28.12.2010, shows that he noticed the breath smell of alcohol, while admitting the deceased in the hospital.It is also mentioned in the accident register [ExP6].The Doctor, who conducted the autopsy in this case has noted 100 ml of brown colour fluid with pungent odour in the stomach and 20 ml of stained fluid in the small intestines.During his evidence, he also admitted that this liquid found on thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 17/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 deceased was on account of alcohol.Therefore, the defence theory that the deceased was under the influence of alcohol is found in this case.The observation mahazar and the rough sketch and the evidence of witnesses would show that only in the opposite house of the deceased there was a pit dug for laying underground drainage and the occurrence was also shown near the drainage.Though the place of occurrence is surrounded by many houses in ExP.14, none of the residents residing near the place of occurrence has been examined by the prosecution.PW5 is the neighbour of the accused as well as the deceased and he is also a close relative of the deceased, in his evidence has stated that there was a quarrel between the accused and the deceased on the date of occurrence and this quarrel was pacified by the daughter-in-law of the deceased, Lakshmi alias Mahalakshmi, but there is no reference about the said Lakshmi alias Mahalakshmi in the evidence of other witnesses and she was not cited as witnesses in this case.PW2 wife of the deceased, who was examined in this case has not stated anything about the presence of her daughter-in-law at the place of occurrence on the date of occurrence.Since the evidence has not been corroborated by any other witness, it may not be safe to rely upon his evidence to convict the accused.The available evidence as well as the availablehttp://www.judis.nic.in 18/21 Crl.A(MD)No.79 of 2014 circumstances show that the deceased was under the influence of alcohol on the date of occurrence and there was a pit in the middle of the road, opposite to the house of the accused, which probalise the case of the defence and moreover, the prosecution has not established its case beyond reasonable doubt and therefore, the benefit of doubt is extended to the accused.24.In the result, the appeal is allowed and the conviction and sentence imposed by the learned Additional District and Sessions Court (Fast Track Court), Virudhunagar in S.C.No.248 of 2011 on 14.03.2012 is set aside and the bail bonds executed by the appellant if any shall stand cancelled and the fine

386, 387, 307 I.P.C., and Section 3(1)of Tamil Nadu Public Property (Prevention of Damage & Loss) Act 1992 (Amended 1994).The Detaining Authority, expressing subjective satisfaction that thedetenu conformed to the definition of ""Goonda"" and that his presence at largewould be prejudicial to the maintenance of public order and tranquillity andalso expressing subjective satisfaction that it was very likely that thedetenu would come out on bail in the ground case, passed the impugned detention order.The said order is challenged in the present Habeas CorpusPetition.Though the order of detention is assailed on several grounds, thelearned counsel for the petitioner seeks leave of the Court to raise anadditional ground and we permit the same.The learned counsel for thepetitioner submits that the non-application of mind on the part of theDetaining Authority is apparent from Paragraph Nos.4 and 5 of the grounds ofdetention, wherein the subjective satisfaction of the Detaining Authorityregarding the real possibility of the detenu coming out on bail in the groundcase came to be expressed.The submissions made by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor inreply to the above said contentions raised by the learned counsel for thepetitioner are also heard.Selvakumar, aged 29/2016, Son of Murugaiyan was produced before the District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Papanasam

remanded to Judicial Custody and was lodged at Sub-Jail, Papanasam as a remand prisoner till 04.02.2016and further his remand period has been extended periodically upto 18.02.2016.I am aware that Thiru.Selvakumar, Male, aged 29/2016, Son of Murugaiyan has filed a bail application in Ammapettai Police Station Cr.No.26 of 2016before the District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Papanasam

Court, Tiruvarur in Cr.M.P.No.693/2013 on 15.05.2013.Hence, I am satisfied that there is a real and imminent possibility of his(Thiru.Selvakumar, Aged 29/2016, Son of Murugaiyan) coming out on bail byfiling a bail application for the above case before the Higher Court.?The highlighted portion will show that the Detaining Authority didnot apply his mind and he has made an observation which is meaningless.It isso nebulous, as it cannot be ascertained from the said part of the grounds ofdetention as to whether any bail application was pending or a bailapplication was going to be filed.The very absurd language used therein willshow total non-application of mind on the part of the Detaining Authority.Apart from the above, the learned counsel for the petitioner also submitseven though, the bail petitions filed by the petitioner were alreadydismissed twice, the Detaining Authority proceeded with an observation thatthere was real possibility of the detenu coming out on bail in the groundcase on the basis of the order of bail granted in respect of another case.Hence, on the ground of non-application of mind, the expression of subjectivesatisfaction regarding the real possibility of the detenu coming out on bailin the ground case stands vitiated and the same can be termed as ipse dixit,not supported by cogent materials.On that ground alone, the order ofdetention is liable to

+"in both cases.For Appellants : Mr.M.Ajmal Khan Senior Counsel in Crl.The case of the prosecution, in brief, is as follows:The second accused is a private person and he was the proprietor of M/s.(b) The second accused submitted a proposal dated 18.01.1995 to the Indian Overseas Bank, Salem main branch, stating that he had opened a new proprietorship concern called 'Valley Exporters' in November, 1994, whereas he had opened the company in the year 1993 and he has taken over the potential black granite quarry situated at Pagadupattu village, Chinnakalrayan Hills, Attur Taluk, Salem, with an extent of 6 acres with 10 years mining lease from the Government of Tamil nadu, and he had an order from M/s.Toyo Trading Co., Ltd., Japan and M/s.Macmarvels Co., Ltd., Japan for 500 cubic meters.He gave an undertaking that the granites manufactured from the mine will be exported as rough blocks under 'letters of credit' only and that there will be no indigenous sales and requested the bank, Salem Main Branch, Indian Overseas Bank, for a Packing Credit facility to an extent of Rs.75 lacs for the purpose of excavating granite blocks form the quarry and Rs.50 lacs as secured OD for meeting hire charges of Mining machineries.The second accused also revised his request for the credit facilities vide letter dated 02.02.1995, seeking for a Packing Credit facility of Rs.70 lakhs, secured over draft of Rs.20 lakhs and Foreign Bill Negotiation facility for Rs.30 lakhs.At that time, the second accused submitted applications with false project report, inflated valuation certificates in respect of collateral securities, false and forged agreement dated 01.01.1995 as if entered into between the second accused as proprietor of Valley Export and Karunagaran (PW-31) owner of the Compressor and Cranes and another agreement entered into between the second accused and one Ramesh (PW-36) proprietor of Virgo Exporters for hiring Proclain and Tippers. The second accused also submitted along with the application a false and forged purchase order dated 28.01.1995 said to have been issued by one H.Fuji of M/s.Toya Trading Company Limited, Japan offering to purchase 500 cubic meters Black granite at the rate of 1100 US Dollar.The second accused furnished the title deeds of 75 acres of landed property situated at Sevvapet, Thandalam Village, Thiruvallur Taluk, Salem and false valuation certificates showing inflated rates by valuing one acre of land at Rs.1 lakh wherein the cost of the lands were only Rs.16,000/- to Rs.20,000/- per acre during the relevant period.During 1993, the second accused had obtained IE Code, but only during 1995, he obtained IE Code from the Controller of Imports and Exports, Ministry of Commerce, Coimbatore and from the Joint Controller, ECD, RBI, Chennai.In Ex.P.3, it is mentioned that M/s. Toyo Trading Co., Ltd., Japan and M/s. Macmarvels Co., Ltd., Japan have insisted and approved the materials and have placed orders.P.4 is a related purchase order from Toyo Trading Co., Ltd., but according to the prosecution, it is a forged document.As per Ex.P.4 one Mr.Fuji had inspected.It is the evidence of P.W.31, who was working as Typist under second accused, had deposed that Ex.P.4 was prepared in the office being typed by him as instructed by the second accused.Though P.W.31 admitted in the cross-examination that Mr.Fuji was available in the office at the time of preparing Ex.P.4, he had not stated that Mr.Fuji signed in Ex.18.07.2012Index : yes Internet : yesksr/jrl T.

DW-1 and Ex.D.1 to D.5 were marked.P.33 to 36, legal opinion Exs.P.18, sanction order also was signed by PW-1 Senior Manager.Learned counsel also pointed out that in the evidence of PW-1 that there is nothing wrong in the Manager filling forms and he had power to sanction loan to the second accused up to Rs.65 lakhs.The learned Senior Counsel further submitted that there is no material to substantiate that the first accused acted in connivance with the second accused and it was only he who took steps for recovering the dues from the second accused and Ex.D.1 shows that the application was filed before the Debt Recovery Tribunal only by the first accused.During the pendency of this criminal appeal, the second accused had paid the entire amount due to the Indian Overseas Bank, Salem Branch.The bank also filed full satisfaction memo in the proceedings in T.A.No.1157 of 2002, before the Debt Recovery Tribunal stating that the matter was settled out of court.The learned senior counsel further submitted that PW-34 and PW-35 stated that appellant was a granite businessman and PW-28 stated that appellant had spent huge amount for improving the quarry business and the appellant was having various companies for running his business.PW-31 had deposed that he was present when Ex.P.4, purchase order was prepared in the office of second accused and it was typed by PW-31 as per the request of Mr.Fuji- buyer who is from Japan.PW-31 also had deposed to the extent that he had leased out machineries to the second accused and it was not necessary for a person to own the equipments.P.46 agreement entered into between the second accused and PW-36, Ramesh is not a forged document and handwriting expert was not in a position to express any definite opinion regarding the signature found in Ex.Per contra, learned Special Public Prosecutor appearing for CBI cases submitted that for packing credit facility, letter of credit is a must, but it was not provided by the second accused and packing credit facility was given by the first accused to the second accused on the basis of Ex.P.45 contract letter is also not a true one and there were no machineries.Ex.P.46 is also false and PW-36 did not sign in Ex.PW-33, employee of the second accused though turned hostile, he admits that as per the agreement in Ex.P.46, Ramesh had no machineries and Ramesh is not the owner of Virgo export Companies. PW-33 also admitted before the learned Magistrate while giving statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C that he only signed in the name of Ramesh.P.2 and P.3 applications were given with false particulars that the second accused had already got lease agreement from the government for quarrying.The learned Special Public Prosecutor also submitted that the properties which were shown as securities are only agricultural lands, but they were shown as housing plots in Ex.P.16 and the value was shown as Rs.75 lakhs by the first accused.This clearly shows that the first accused deliberately acted in favour of the second accused and the conspiracy among the first and second accused is established.This Court considered the submissions made by the parties and perused the materials available on record.Now it is to be seen from the available evidence whether the second accused availed credit facility from the bank in a fraudulent manner by producing forged documents and it is also to be seen whether the first accused/Chief Manager of the bank sanctioned loan facility abusing his official position knowing about the incorrectness of the documents submitted by the second accused.It is mentioned in Ex.P.2 and Ex.P.3 that the second accused's firm M/s. Valley Exporters, Chennai, had mining lease from the Tamil Nadu Government for 10 years, but as per Ex.P.76, the second accused claims that he was operating the quarry under power of Attorney from M/s. Happy Granite India Private Limited to whom lease was given by the Government.As per Ex.P.81 - Inspection Report of P.W.13, no quarrying operation was noticed and only one old worked pit was noticed.There is a suppression of fact and wrong information is given by the second accused.He had stated that second accused signed in Ex.P.2 and P.3 applications are dated 18.01.1995 and 02.02.1995, but Ex.Therefore, Ex.P.4 is only to the extent that it was prepared for the purpose of getting loan from the bank.The properties relating to documents Exs.P.37 to 40 are given as security for loan.The properties are purchased from 01.03.1995 to 10.03.1995 and the total value is Rs.80,450/-.These properties are agricultural lands, but in the documents Exs.P.37 to 40 the word (tptrhak;) 'Agricultural' is deleted by applying whitener.P.W.8, the bank approved panel valuer has given valuation reports under Exs.He had stated that he gave the reports to one Vasu.According to the prosecution, the value was boosted.P.W.8 while giving certificate he had not taken the land as agricultural land but stated as vacant land which could be converted as housing sites.Therefore, again it appears that Exs.P.33 to 36 were obtained by the second accused showing not the real value but with enhanced value for the purpose of getting loan.The second accused also approached on his own, the panel lawyer of the banks to get his opinion and obtained Exs.Further, for getting the amount the second accused had produced Exs.P.43 to 46, but according to the prosecution, they are bogus documents.P.45 and 46 were false agreements.P.45 is an agreement between P.W.31-Karunagaran and the second accused for hiring the machineries.As per Ex.P.45, P.W.31 was the owner of machineries, but as per his evidence, he was not the owner but he got on lease those machineries.P.W.31 was employed under the second accused as typist.P.45 was prepared falsely.Ex.P.46 is an agreement between one Ramesh and second accused.P.W.36 admitted in his evidence that his name is Ramesh but he did not sign in Ex.P.46 and there was no agreement.Therefore, Ex.P.46 also was prepared falsely.Hence, it is to be held from the oral and documentary evidence that the second accused had cheated the bank by producing bogus documents for getting loan.The contention of the learned Senior Counsel Mr.AR.L. Sundaresan that this is a case of civil nature and no criminal liability can be fastened is only to be rejected for the above said reasons.The repayment of the loan amount due to the bank after twelve years does not wipe out the criminal liability of the accused.M.P.No.1 of 2012 is filed seeking permission to take additional evidence to mark the documents relating to payment made to the Bank.All these subsequent happenings cannot form part of evidence.Hence, M.P.No.1 of 2012 is dismissed.Though the application is dismissed, it is taken note of by this Court that a sum of Rs.50 lakhs was paid in the year 2007 for the claim made by the bank in the year 1997 for a sum of Rs.51,09,090/-.It is to be noted that Indian Overseas Bank is a nationalised bank and the money involved is public money.Though Bank had entered into one time settlement with the accused for a sum of Rs.50 lakhs, after 12 years, the interest amount that accrued for the sum of Rs.50 lakhs for a period 12 years (i.e., minimum Rs.50 lakhs) is a loss to the bank and it is a wrongful gain for the accused.Therefore, this repayment of amount of Rs.50 lakhs by the second accused to the Bank cannot be taken as a mitigating circumstance even while sentencing the accused.Regarding the first accused as it was contended by the learned Senior Counsel Mr.Ajmalkhan that the first accused had no mens rea and he had performed only his official duty and at the most there can be only negligence or dereliction of duty on his part; it must be looked into whether the evidence available on record show that deliberately and knowingly the first accused had helped the second accused to avail the loan facility in a improper manner.Of course in Exs.P.2 and P.3, the second accused suppressed the fact that he did not have any direct lease from the Tamil Nadu Government for quarrying and the first accused could have verified it.Though Ex.P.4 is bogus purchase order, it had been produced by the second accused and first accused had simply accepted it.The properties, which were given as security for loan were having only low value but second accused suppressed the fact that the lands were agricultural lands and in the documents produced before the bank the word 'agricultural' had been deleted.The first accused accepted the valuation certificate given by P.W.8, though inflated value was given by P.W.8 as requested by the second accused saying the vacant land may be converted as housing sites.P.17 sanction for credit facility is signed by P.W.1 and the first accused.The hire purchase agreement for machineries produced by the second accused were forged but they have been accepted by the first accused.Though there are several defects and faults on the part of the first accused, still it cannot be definitely said that the first accused had acted with the criminal dishonest intention by helping the second accused to avail loan facilities.Though conspiracy cannot be proved directly and it can be inferred from the materials available, in this particular case, it is not possible to hold beyond doubt that the first accused acted only in pursuance of conspiracy with the second accused.Of course there is suspicion against the first accused in this case but however the suspicion is strong that cannot take the place of proof.In the result, the criminal appeal No.1390 of 2003 is allowed and the conviction and sentence imposed on the first accused/appellant in Crl.Since the first accused had been acquitted, the second accused cannot be convicted for the offence under conspiracy.Hence, the conviction and sentence imposed on the second accused/appellant in Crl.A.No.1385 of 2003, for the offence under Sections 120B r/w 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC and Section 13(2) r/w 13(1) (d) of Prevention of Corruption Act by the trial Court are set aside.The other convictions imposed on the second accused by the trial Court are confirmed.The sentence of imprisonment for each offence is altered and reduced to six months rigorous imprisonment.The fine amount imposed on the second accused is enhanced to a sum of Rs.5,000/- to each offence and in default of payment of fine, he is sentenced to undergo one month rigorous imprisonment.The fine amount already paid shall be adjusted.The Criminal Appeal No.1385 of 2003 is partly allowed.The II Additional District Judge and Special Judge for CBI Cases, Coimbatore.The Inspector of Police CBI/BSFC, Chennai RC.No.3(E)/97, Bangalore.The Special Public Prosecutor for CBI Cases, High Court, Madras.Pre-delivery Judgment in Crl.A.Nos.1385 and 1390 of 200318.07.2012",['Section 13 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

He received telephonic information that some anti-social throwing bombs at Pilkhana 3rd Lane.He noted such fact in the general diary and proceeded to the spot.At 11:50 hours he arrived at 3rd lane and came to know that some miscreants shot Md. Akram in the saloon of Ichua Thakur.As a result Md. Akram suffered gun shot injuries and was moved to Howrah District Hospital.He went to Howrah District Hospital and came to know Md. Akram had been brought in a dead condition with gun shot injury.He sent the dead body to the police morgue for post-mortem examination.He collected inquest report, death certificate from the investigating officer of the U.D. case.He proved the general diary (Ext.15), 9 the formal F.I.R. (Ext. 16).He prepared rough sketch map with index (Ext.17).He seized one used bullet head, one empty and used percussion cap, blood, hair cuttings from the place of occurrence under a seizure list.He examined all the witnesses.From the statement of the witnesses he came to know the identity of other accused persons, namely, Aftab, Chand, Sk.Noor, Md. Quader and Irfan.He collected post-mortem report.On receipt of order from superior he handed over the case diary to CID, West Bengal.He identified another sketch map (Ext.B).He claimed the subsequent sketch map was prepared by the next investigating officer.P.W. 20, Jitendra Nath Kairi, is the second investigating officer.He was attached to Detective Department, Howrah as Sub-Inspector of Police.After taking charge of investigation he visited the place of occurrence and prepared rough sketch map with index (Ext.B).He seized the taxi and the rickshaw van.He made requisition for FSL examination of blood samples.P.W. 21, Avash Nandi, is the last investigating officer of the case.He concluded the investigation and filed charge-sheet.From the evidence on record it appears that on 01.02.2005 around 11/11:15 a.m. when the victim had gone to the saloon of Ichua Thakur (P.W. 12) to shave his beard, 8/10 persons armed with fire arms and bombs shot at him resulting in his death.P.W. 7 brother of the deceased was proceeding to western side.When he arrived near the saloon of Ichua Thakur he found Ladua, Budhua, Gabbar, Aslam and 5/6 others were coming from western side and entered the saloon of Ichua Thakur.They were armed with revolvers and bombs.Inside the saloon they started firing.Thereafter, they fled away after throwing bombs.When he reached the saloon he found Md. Akram lying with his head at the gate of the saloon with bullet injuries.Md. Akram was shifted to hospital where he was declared dead.Immediately thereafter he went to Golabari Police Station and 10 lodged First Information Report at 12:55 hours naming Budhua, Ladua, Gabbar, Aslam and 5/6 unknown as the miscreants.It is contended that P.W. 7 is not an eye-witness as the correct place from where he had seen the incident is not noted in the sketch map (Ext.17 and Ext.B) prepared during investigation.P.W. 7 has been extensively cross-examined on behalf of the defendants.He has withstood such cross-examination and reading his evidence as a whole, I do not find any infirmity or inconsistency in his deposition to come to a conclusion that he is an untruthful witness.Soon after the incident he lodged the First Information Report and has graphically described the incident therein.All the witnesses have specified that they were near the saloon of Ichua Thakur when they saw the appellant enter the saloon with fire arms.They heard shots being fixed and body of the deceased was found lying at the gate of the saloon.In the backdrop of the aforesaid facts, I have no doubt in my mind that the said witnesses had ample opportunity to see the miscreants enter the saloon and fire at the deceased resulting in gun shot injuries.Deceased was found lying at the gate of the saloon.These circumstances leave no doubt in my mind that the evidence of P.W.s 2, 3, 4 and 7 establishes the prosecution case beyond doubt.These witnesses have been cross-examined with regard to their criminal antecedents.However, none of the criminal cases registered against the said witnesses were related to the appellants.Hence, it cannot be said that the said witnesses had falsely implicated the appellants due to prior grudge or animosity.It 11 has been contended that Manoj Thakur, employee of the saloon of Paresh Thakur @ Ichua who is the best witness has not been examined.His non-examination would draw an adverse inference against the prosecution case.The Bench in the said report, inter alia, held as follows:-Urgent Photostat Certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied expeditiously after complying with all necessary legal formalities.I agree.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"According to her, A3 after knowing that the illicit intimacy between A1 and P.W.2 abused her in filthy language and had warned not to continue her illicit relationship with A1 and that A1 offered Rs.50/- to take nutritious diet after the abortion.P.W.5 is the uncle of P.W.2 the victim girl.On 24.12.2003, he went to the house of P.W.2 at the request of her parent,after knowing that P.W.2 had developed intimacy with A1 and P.W.2 had also informed him that only under the pretext of marrying her A1 had sexual intercourse with her and in this regard , he along with his other brothers and father of P.W.2 went to the house of the accused for a mediation.But A2 and A3 have abused P.W.2 and at that time A1 and A4 were not available in the house.Ex P5 is the copy of the first information report.Ex P10 is the certificate issued by the doctor, after examination of A1 certifying that he is potent.Ex P11 is the letter of requisition issued by the Court to the Government Hospital requesting the doctor to subject P.W.2 for medical examination to ascertain her age.ExP12 is the age certificate issued by the doctors.Ex P13 is the requisition given by P.W.7 to the doctor.He has also examined the Doctors viz., Dr.Saravanan and Dr.Karthikeyan and recorded their statements.JUDGMENT A.C. Arumugaperumal Adityan, J.This appeal has been preferred by the accused in S.C.No.124 of 2004 on the file of the Additional Sessions Judge, (Fast Track Court) Ariyalur, Perambalur District.According to the prosecution, on 10.7.2002 ,A1 under the pretext of marrying the victim girl had subjected her to the offence of rape and in the course of the transaction, the accused had given tablet to abort the featus and in the panchayat conducted in this connection on 17,.2.2003, A1 to A3 have abused the victim girl in filthy language and on the same day, A4 had criminally intimidated the victim girl and the accused under the pretext of marrying the victim girl had committed the offence of rape.So the accused have been charged under Sections 417, 313, 294(b), 506(ii) and 376 of IPC.The case was taken on file by the learned Judicial Magistrate, perambalur and on the appearance of the accused, had furnished the copies under Section 207 of Cr.P.C. and since the case is triable by a Court of Sessions, the learned Judicial Magistrate had committed the case to the Additional Sessions Judge,(Fast Track Court) Ariyalur under Section 209 of Cr.P.C. On appearance of the accused, the learned Sessions Judge had framed charges against A1 under Sections 417, 313 and 294(b) and 376 of IPC , against A2 and A3 charge under Section 294(b) IPC and against A4 charge under Section 506(ii) of IPC have been framed and when questioned, the accused pleaded not guilty.On the side of the Prosecution , P.Ws 1 to 8 were examined.Exs P1 to P15 were exhibited.P.W.1 is the Doctor who had examined the victim girl P.W.2 on 31.12.2003 at about 1.30p.m., on the basis of the letter of requisition Ex P1 from the Court for ascertaining the age of the victim girl.After hearing that A3 had abused her(P.W.2) , her mother enquired and that she had revealed the entire facts to her and that her uncle and another Ramalingam and Ganapathy took her to the accused's house for mediation.There also A1 had abused her in filthy language and A2 had also intimidated her along with A4 and thereafter she approached the police and preferred Ex P3 complaint.She would corroborate the evidence of P.W.2 to effect that A3 came to her house and abused P.W.2 in filthy language which made her to enquire P.W.2 who had admitted the illicit relationship, she had developed with A1 and that P.W.2 had made an attempt to commit suicide which was prevented by her.When her husband(P.W3's husband) and his brother made an attempt to mediate at the house of the accused, both A2 and A3 have abused and A4 has pushed them on the ground.Thereafter, P.W.2 had preferred the complaint with the police.P.W.4 Chinnaponnu has not supported the case of the prosecution hence she was treated as a hostile witness.Hence P.W.2 has preferred the complaint with the police.She has examined the witnesses and recorded their statements.Ex P6 is the rough sketch drawn by her.She had sent P.W.2 along with Ex P7 requisition to the Court to subject herself for medical examination by a Government Doctor.She had arrested A2 and A4 on 29.12.2003 and produced them before the Judicial Magistrate for judicial remand.A1 and A3 have obtained anticipatory bail.Under Ex P8, he had given another requisition to the Court on 18.2.2004 with a request to send A1 for medical examination regarding his potency.After completing the formalities, he has filed the final report against the accused.When incriminating circumstances under Section 313 Cr.P.C. were put to the accused, they would deny their complicity with the crime.After going through the evidence both oral and documentary, the learned trial Judge has come to a conclusion that an offence under Sections 376, 417, 294(b) of IPC have been made out against A1 and accordingly convicted and sentenced A1 under Section 376 of IPC to under go seven years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs.2000/0 with default sentence and has convicted and sentenced A1 under Section 417 of IPC to undergo six months Rigorous imprisonment and was also convicted and sentenced under Section 294(b) to pay a fine of Rs.500/- along with A2 and A3 each.A4 was convicted and sentenced under Section 506(II) to under go six months rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs.500/- with default sentence.Aggrieved by the findings of the learned trial Judge, the accused have preferred this appeal.Now the point for consideration in this appeal is whether the conviction and sentence of the learned trial Judge against the accused under Sections 376, 417, 294(b) and 506(ii) of IPC is liable to be set aside for the reasons stated in the memorandum of appeal?Heard Mr. S.Samuel Rajapandian(Amicus Curiae),the learned counsel appearing for the appellants and Mr.V.R. Balasubramaniam, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State and carefully considered their rival submissions.8 The Point:A2 and A3 have been convicted by the trial court under Section 294(b) of IPC and A4 has been convicted and sentenced under Section 506(ii) of IPC.On 24.12.2003, P.W.5 along with P.W2's father and other relations like Ramalingam and Chitra went to the house of the accused and at that time A2 and A3 have abused them and A1 and A4 were not present in the house.According to P.W.2, at the time, when P.W.5 and other relations went to the house of A2, A1 had abused her in filthy language and A2 had intimidated her and A4 also criminally intimidated her.In Ex P3 complaint, there is absolutely no allegation against the accused that they have abused P.W.2 at the time when the mediation took place at 7.00p.m., on 24.12.2003 in the house of the accused.Under such circumstances, it cannot be said that the charge levelled against A2 and A3 under Section 294(b) of IPC and against A4 under Section 506(ii) of IPC have been proved beyond any reasonable doubt.So the conviction and sentence by the trial Court against A2 and A3 under Section 294(b) of IPC and as against A4 under Section 506(ii) of IPC is liable to be set aside and the same is hereby set aside.Now the remaining charge against A1 is under Sections 376, 417 and 294(b) of IPC.According to the case of the prosecution, the victim girl P.W.2 was a minor at the time of occurrence and it has been proved through the evidence of P.W.1, the doctor who had issued Ex P2 copy of the accident register which shows that the victim girl has been subjected to sexual assault.The doctor has opined in Ex P2 that the age of the victim girl P.W.2 must be below 18 years.Ex P1 is the letter of requisition given by the Judicial Magistrate, Perambalur to the Superintendent Government Headquarters Hospital, Perambalur wherein it has been specifically requested to furnish the age certificate and also virgin certificate for the victim girl.P.W.1 has not stated anything in her deposition about the examination conducted by the victim for ascertaining her age.According to P.W.7, the Investigation Officer, P.W.2 was subjected to radiology test by two doctors viz.Saravanan and Dr.Karthikeyan to ascertain her age.Ex P13 is the letter of requisition given by P.W.7 to the Judicial Magistrate, Perambalur.In the letter of requisition, the Investigation Officer P.W.7 has stated that as per the opinion of P.W.1 the doctor Premasakunthala, the age of the victim girl P.W.2 is below 18 years.But the complainant has stated her age in the complaint as 19 and according to her school certificate her date of birth is 15.4.1986 and on that score, he had requested the Court to subject P.W.2 for a radiology test to ascertain her correct age.But unfortunately in this case, even according to P.W.7, P.W.2 was examined by the Radiologist viz., Dr.Saravanan and Dr.Karthikeyan neither Dr.Saravanan nor Dr.Karthikeyan was examined before the trial Court and the X-rays were taken for the victim girl to show that ossification test was conducted on her and the Radiologist report showing her age are all not produced before the trial Court.So absolutely there is no medical evidence to fix the age of the victim girl at the time of occurrence.To prove ExP14, school record sheet, the author of Ex P14 namely the headmaster of the school which issued Ex P14 was not examined.According to P.W.5, P.W.2 had preferred a complaint with the police at 5.00p.m., on 24.12.2003 itself on the date of occurrence.According to P.W.1, she had informed about the occurrence ie., the offence of rape committed by A1 on her (P.W.2) to one Chinnaponnu.But she has not supported the case of the prosecution.Hence she was treated as a hostile witness by the Assistant Public Prosecutor.According to P.W.2, A1 had raped her for the first time on 10.7.2002 and according to her, A1 used to continue the same on several occasions and that she became pregnant and the accused had advised her to take tablets for aborting the featus.But the trial Court has not convicted the accused under Section 313 of IPC on the ground that the charge has not proved against him.But unfortunately in this case, the prosecution has miserably failed to prove through convincing and acceptable medical evidence to show that at the time of occurrence, the victim girl was a minor.Even according to P.W.7, the Doctor, radiologists viz., Dr.Saravanan and Dr.Karthikeyan who have examined P.W.2 the victim girl were not examined on the side of the prosecution to prove the age of the victim girl.But still the fact remains that the victim girl P.W.2 has been deceived by A1 in having sexual intercourse with her on the pretext of marrying her for nearly one year.It is in evidence that subsequent to the occurrence, P.W2 has been married to another person and she is now settled in life.The trial Court is directed to secure A1 to undergo unexpended portion of the sentence.The set off is ordered under Section 428 of Cr.P.C. The fine amount paid by A1 for an offence under Section 376 of IPC and A2 , A3 and A4 are to be refunded to them.","['Section 294(b) in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 417 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 375 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Heard on admission.This appeal has been preferred under Section 372 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter referred to as ""the Code"") being aggrieved with the judgment dated 31/3/11 passed by Sessions Judge, Umaria, in Sessions Trial No.97/09, whereby respondent nos. 1 to 5 namely Amritlal, Sitaram Singh, Ramadhar Singh, Vijay Singh Gond and Pushpendra Singh Gond have been acquitted of the offences punishable under Sections 147, 302/149 and 201 of the Indian Penal Code (""IPC"" for short).Prosecution case, in brief, is that on the occasion of Dusshera, after the idol of Goddess Durga was consigned to water, respondent nos. 4 and 5 along with co-accused Suresh Singh Gond, Omprakash Gond, Gangaram and many others, assembled near the tent installed for worshipping the Goddess, and started abusing the Villagers and also assaulted Ramvishal Singh and Viranjan Singh with Gurda.Ramvishal Singh escaped form the spot.Next day Viranjan Singh informed Ramvishal that his wife Chironjiabai had been forcibly taken by the miscreants and assaulted leading to her death and her deady body concealed in a sack, was hidden by them in the Jungle.Ramvishal lodged the report to that effect at Police Station Naurozabad on 6/10/06 and after investigation, charge- sheet was filed.Learned Government Advocate submitted that the impugned judgment was delivered without proper appreciation of evidence on record and the same deserves to be interfered with.Having regard to the arguments advanced by the parties, impugned judgment and record of the trial Court were perused.Evidence of material witnesses viz. Ramvishal (PW1), Meenabai (PW2), Chintamani (PW3), Viranjan Singh (PW7), Gulab Singh (PW8), Komal Singh (PW11), Madan Singh (PW15), being full of contradictions, omissions and exaggerations, was not believed by the trial Court.They also denied the prosecution story.Dead body of Chironjiabai was already seized on 6/10/06, therefore, recovery of the same at the instance of the respondents on 8/10/06, was not found credible by the trial Court.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.","['Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The relationship between various persons who are concerned in this case is as described below.Nukati was married1 to Radu; Radu died.Later she was kept by Damdia as his wife.Deceased Joharu was her son from Radu.He accompanied her at Damdia's house.A day prior to the incident Nanbu had beaten his wife.He then left but returned next morning.While he was thus returning he found Joharu coming back home with some 'Ma-huwa fruits.The accused stopped him and abused him and ran after him.Joharu tried to escape but the accused struck him with an arrow.Nankya by that time had arrived there and he tried to save him but before this could be done the arrow had been shot.Nukati, mother of the deceased, too had come out and seen the incident.The arrow pierced through the thigh of the deceased through and through.JUDGMENT Nevaskar, J.1. Accused Nanbu was convicted by Sessions Judge, Ratlam (camp Alirajpur) for an offence under Section 302, I, p. Code and sentenced him to transportation for life.This appeal is preferred by the accused against his conviction.Damdia had a first wife named Nahali.Through Nahali, Damdia had two sons, accused Nanbu and P. W. Nankya.The case of the prosecution is that Joharu had illicit connection with the wife of accused Nanbu.The latter nursed a grievance against Joharu for this.The femoral artery in his thigh was cut and there was profuse bleeding.The deceased died within an hour.First Information Report was lodged by Damdia in which he mentioned Nanbu as the culprit.The dead body was sent for post mortem examination at the hospital at Alirajpur where it was examined by Dr. Joshi who gave his report indicating the nature of the wound and cause of death as described above.At the trial Damdia and Nankya took up the position that it was Nukati who had stated to them that Nanbu had killed Joharu.The only evidence was that of Nukati who supported the prosecution case about the incident.The accused pleaded 'alibi'.He stated that he had been to Thandla at the house of his wife's brother Kala, on Thursday.He stayed there that day.Later he went to Udegarh Hat and after returning therefrom again stayed at Kala's place.On Saturday Damdia and Balsingh called him.The incident is of Friday.The learned Sessions Judge relied upon the statement of Nukati and disbelieved the evidence of alibi.According to him Nukati had named the accused immediately after the incident as is clear from the First Information Report made by his own father Damdia.He therefore held that it was the accused who shot an arrow which pierced through the thigh of Joharu.He relied upon it and made a First Information Report against his own son.These circumstances and the natural reluctance which would be expected from Nankya and Damdia to involve the accused in a murder charge should in my opinion be sufficient to place reliance upon the statement of Nukati.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Case No. 136/07 dated 23.09.2007 against the accused persons as mentioned in the cause title punishable under Section 304/34 of IPC and the same was endorsed to one S.I. of Police namely, Sanat Kr.Ghosh for investigation who after completion of the investigation, submitted Charge-sheet No. 170/07 dated 22.11.2007 under Section 304/34 of IPC against both the accused persons, the appellants herein.The learned Sessions Judge framed charge under Sections 304/34 of the Indian Penal Code to which the appellants abjured their guilt and claimed a trial.After completion of examination of as many as 07 witnesses by the prosecution, the appellants were examined under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code in respect of incriminating material emerging from the evidence to which they declined to adduce defence witness.Upon hearing the prosecution and defence the Trial Judge convicted appellant Amirul Haque was sentenced to suffer for a term of five years and to pay a fine of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) 4 in default to suffer further R.I. for one year, however, the appellant Jarifa Khatoon was sentenced to suffer RI for a term of three years and to pay a fine of Rs. 5000/- (Rupees five thousand) in default to suffer further R.I. for one year for the charge under Section 304(II) of the Indian Penal Code This is the judgment impugned under appeal preferred by the appellants, inter alia, on the grounds that the learned trial Judge failed to appreciate the discrepancies in the evidences laid by the prosecution as there are contradictory evidences between the witnesses which ought to have been considered by the learned trial Judge to hold that there was reasonable shadow of doubt.Mr. Ayan Basu, learned Advocate appearing for the appellants pointed out that the learned trial Judge failed to consider that the deceased was sent to Islampur hospital but the doctor referred to the deceased for better treatment at North Bengal Medical College at Siliguri and on the way he died.Dr. Sanjay Dey, PW 7 was Medical Officer posted at Islampur SD hospital on 24.9.2007 who held post mortem on the dead body of the deceased and found on examination(i) blood stained discharged from mouth and nose; (ii) linear bruise of 2"" over right arm and another bruise of 1"" over left side 1.5"" of orbit of the eyes; (iii) swelling over right parietal region and left fronto temporal region of scalp;(iv) intra cerebral hemorrhage over the said areas; (v) mild scrotal swelling over right testis but no hematoma seen.5 In the opinion of doctor Sanjoy Dey, PW 7 as per P.M. Report, Exhibit- 4 the cause of death was due to subdural and intra cerebral hemorrhage over the area of scalp.Mr. Basu submits that during cross-examination the PW 7 has clearly stated on oath that there was no fracture injury sustained by the deceased anywhere else on the body and the injury of hematoma could be the cause of injury but the injury described in the PM Report might be due to various other caused.But evidence in cross- examination of PW 7 has not been appraised by the learned trial Judge.Mr. Basu has relied on a decision in the case of K.Rmakrishnan Unnithan vs. State of Kerala reported in 1999 Supreme Court Cases (Cri.) 410 to argue that the question then remains for consideration is whether on the materials on record can it be said that the appellants gave the blow on the deceased with the intention of causing murder of the deceased so as to be convicted for the charge under 304(II)/34 IPC.In the cited decision considering the eye witness account of the three eye witnesses and that of the doctor conducting Autopsy and in considering the nature of injury inflicted on the body of deceased with a part of the intestine protruding out due to stab on the abdomen of the deceased with the knife the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the accused did not commit the offence under Section 302 IPC but under part II of Section 304 IPC and 6 accordingly, the conviction of the appellants under Section 302 IPC was set aside and instead convicted him under Section 304(II) IPC and the appellant/ accused period of sentence under gone was treated as the sentenced imposed upon the appellant of the cited decision.In second fold argument Mr. Basu submitted that IO who conducted the investigation was not examined and the doctor of Islampur hospital who referred the patient party to North Bengal hospital for better treatment has also not been examined and no medical report of Islampur hospital was produced.It is also submitted that Safirul PW 2 who deposed on the basis of learning about the incident has learnt that on the relevant date of incident quarrel between Samirul and Amirul had taken place in which Amirul assaulted Samirul with the help of a bamboo stick which was on the issue of hen of Amirul which has damaged the roof of Tahera.It is submitted that the evidence of PW 2 is hearsay but I find that PW 2 has categorically stated that he had appeared between Samirul and Amirul and he separated them when they were fighting.In cross- examination PW 2 stated that when he was proceeding towards local market the dispute had cropped up between Jarifa and Samirul which took place at 4 P.M. as Samirul had caught hold hair of Jarifa who had become unconscious and referred to hospital and other members of the family of Jarifa when Amirul was not there.In cross- examination PW 2 stated that at the time of quarrel several villagers 7 were present and out of them some of villagers tried to rescue Jarifa from the clutch of Samirul and there was some sought of scuffling between villagers and Samirul.The dispute between Samirul and members of family of Jarifa and Amirul took place for couple of hours and he had learnt about the assault on Samirul inflicted by Amirul from one Akbar who happened to be the cousin brother of Amirul.This witness has testified the fact that Amirul accompanied said Samirul to admit him in the hospital, admittedly, Samirul was sick person suffering from various ailments.Mr. Basu submitted that this witness has not been declared hostile by the prosecution.So his version has to be accepted as the independent witness.It is also submitted that Amirul Haque the appellant is the full brother of the deceased Samirul and brother-in-law of the appellant Jarifa Khatoon and fact remains that over petty dispute between them was over the issue of damage of the thatched roof of the deceased, the deceased Samirul was injured by the appellant Amirul by blow on his head with a bamboo stick.I am of the view that though the IO who held investigation and the doctor of Islampur hospital who referred the deceased to North Bengal Medical Collage hospital were not examined, nevertheless, prosecution case cannot be doubted and their non examination is not also prejudicial to the appellants.PW 3 is also an independent witness whose evidence is hearsay and was declared hostile.PW 4 a seizure list witness could not say how the deceased died but he is a witness to seizure of a bamboo stick which was used as a weapon to beat the deceased.PW 5 Mr. Soleman has proved the written complaint scribed by him on the basis of version of Tahera Khatoon which finds corroboration by its maker Tahera.PW 6 father of PW 1 is a witness to the inquest report in respect of the inquest held on the deceased Samirul who has deposed about the injured being shifted to the hospital and death during the treatment.According to him the dead body was brought back to the house from the hospital for burial but Tahera Khatton wife of the deceased did not allow the dead body to be buried.PW 8 is the Inspector of Police who had drawn up the formal FIR on the basis of the complaint and endorsed the investigation to SI Sanat Kr.Ghosh and the latter held investigation but SI Ghosh could not be availed of for his examination but PW 8 has substantially proved the FIR, sketch map with explanatory index of the place of occurrence Exhibit- 6 and the seizure of weapon under Seizure list Exhibit-1, inquest report Exhibit-2, dead-body Challan Exhibit-7 and Exhibit- 8 for the collection of the PM report from the hospital. 9Mr. Basu further refers to a decision in the case of Raja Ram vs. State of Rajasthan reported in 2005 Supreme Court Cases (Cri.) 1050-- to argue that PW 2 did not support the prosecution case as he was not declared hostile as I have discussed above that PW 2 is an eye witness to the occurrence of assault on Samirul by Amirul with the help of a bamboo stick.There was no reason for declaring him hostile by the prosecution.In the cited decision it was held that if the dying declaration passes the test of scrutiny it can be relied on as the sole basis of conviction.Though, there appears exaggeration in the evidence of PW 2 during cross- examination when he deposed that the quarrel was due to holding of locks of hair of Jarifa by Samirul and for that Jarifa fell unconscious and was referred to hospital by her family members in a rickshaw van and that several villagers present at the scene tried to rescue Jarifa from the clutch of Samirul and there was some short of scuffling between the villagers and Samirul.PW 2 learnt about the assault by Amirul upon Samirul from one Akbar who happens to be their cousin brother but substantially his version supports the prosecution case.The facts scenario as reflected from the prosecution case is that in the mids of quarrel incident took place between the two full brothers and the appellants did not flee-away from the spot rather evidence on record in unequivocal term points 11 out that Amirul took his injured brother Samirul to hospital for treatment.This is undoubtedly a mitigating circumstance to hold that the assault on Samirul by Amirul was not with an object to kill his brother Samirul rather on being provoked on certain trifle issue, the appellant Amirul gave blow on the head of Samirul who ultimately succumbed to hematoma injury on his head as he was admittedly a sick person.In regard to appellant Jarifa as I have found injury on the scrotum in the right testis of the deceased which in my opinion was of simple in nature.","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"The prosecution case is as follows:There are three deceased in this case and some injured witnesses.All of them belonged to Village Narasapuram in Anantapur District.The deceased Hanumanthappa became the Vice-President of Local Panchayat and he had been residing with his family in Kottam erected by him in his garden.One Rajasekharareddy was the successful bidder for sale of arrack.A3 and some other accused were desirous of obtaining the subcontract.Thathanna, Gopal and Gopalappa, (original accused Nos. 3, 4 and 7) are the appellants.They along with 27 others were tried for offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 302, 302 read with 149 and 324, I.P.C. The Trial Court acquitted all of them.The State preferred an appeal and a Division Bench of the High Court after re-appreciating the evidence of the eye-witnesses and subjecting the same to a close scrutiny confirmed the acquittal of the other accused but convicted the present appellants only under Section 326, I.P.C. and sentenced each of them to undergo 7 years' Rigorous Imprisonment.There was bitter enmity between the two groups.There was a quarrel.In the course of the said quarrel A3 declared that if Hanumanthappa returned to the village he would be killed.On the following day, namely, 13-10-78 he came to know that there was illicit distillation detrimental to the contract held by Hanumanthappa.The deceased and PW 1, 3, 4, 8 and 9 gathered together and proceeded to Beluguppa hills where the illicit distillation was said to be going on.In the morning of 13-10-78 PW 1, 3, 4, 8 and 9 along with three deceased got up and were proceeding to the fields.PW 1 and 4 also joined them.While so, accused 1 to 8 came opposite to them raising cries.When the deceased, PW 1, 4, 7 and 8 reached the field they were chased and were attacked by the accused persons who were armed with deadly weapons like axes and sticks.In the course of the same occurrence the other two deceased persons, namely, Hanumantharayudu and Hanumanthudu were also done to death.PW 3, 8 and 9 also received injuries.PW 15 registered the crime and along with the Constables reached the scene of occurrence in the night.The Inspector of Police came into the scene later as he was away to Anantapur in connection with the 'Bandobast Duty' of the Village.The injured were taken to the Hospital and they were treated and the three dead bodies were also sent for post-mortem.The doctor found several incised injuries on all the three dead bodies.PWs3, 8 and 9 were medically treated and the doctor who examined them found several lacerated wounds and contusions which could have been caused by blunt weapons.The accused were arrested and after completion of the investigation the charge was framed.The prosecution mainly relied on the evidence of PWs 3, 8 and 9, the injured witnesses and also on the evidence of PWs 1, 2 and 4 who witnessed the occurrence.For the purpose of the present appeal it may not be necessary to consider the evidence of other witnesses.The Trial Court acquitted all the accused holding that the eye-witnesses including the injured witnesses have given different versions and to a large extent they differed with the version given in the First Information Report and to some extent the medical evidence also does not support the testimony regarding the alleged crime.In the appeal against the order of acquittal the High Court considered the evidence of PWs 1, 4 and 8 in detail.In view of the discrepancies and the omissions, the High Court did not find it safe to convict any of the accused for inflicting injuries on PWs 3, 8 and 9 themselves.While considering the same aspect the High Court has taken into consideration the medical evidence and the nature of the weapons and the injuries.The High Court has given the benefit of doubt to the acquitted accused.It may be mentioned at this stage that the High Court, however, taking into consideration the broad circumstances, held that it was a free fight and in that view the High Court was not prepared to hold that there was an unlawful assembly but it proceeded to consider the case of individual accused on the basis of the part played by them.The High Court in the first instance has taken the evidence of PW 3, the injured witness into consideration.The High Court also held that PW 2 is an independent witness.Similarly the High Court considered the evidence of PWs 8, 9 and other two injured witnesses.After considering the evidence of PW 3 in the light of the earlier statement, the medical evidence and with reference to the evidence of PWs 1, 2 and 4, the High Court felt that the part played by A3 alone could be accepted in respect of the attack on the first deceased.Likewise the High Court considered the evidence of PWs 3, 8 and 9 who spoke about the attack on the 3rd deceased and there again after a close scrutiny held that the parts played by A4 and 7 could be accepted in view of the fact that the other eye-witnesses also corroborated their evidence.In that view of the matter the High Court gave the benefit of doubt to other accused but held that A4 and 7 should be held liable for their individual acts in respect of the attack on the 3rd deceased.The High Court, however, took the view that since the injuries inflicted by these three accused are only of grievous nature and that those injuries were not responsible for the death of the deceased persons they should be convicted under Section 326, I.P.C. only.The evidence of A3, 8 and 9 though is not accepted in respect of their own assailants but the fact that the occurrence has taken place is accepted and that in respect of these appellants the other witnesses have also consistently spoken regarding the parts played by the three appellants.The nature of the injuries inflicted by these three accused to that extent is corroborated by medical evidence and also spoken to by the other eye-witnesses consistently and the same has been accepted.The appeal is accordingly dismissed.",['Section 326 in The Indian

Road, Madras.Alliammal, Kothandan, Shanthi, Rajalakshmi and Vijaya sustained injuries.Those injured witnesses had been examined as P.Ws.Not content with causing the accident as stated above, the revision petitioner did not even bother to give any first-aid to the injured but curiously ran away from the place of occurrence.On the complaint lodged with the police, the Investigating Agency, after completing all the formalities regarding investigation, filed a charge sheet against the accused petitioner as stated above.P.Ws. 1 and 3 speak about the identity of the person who drove the vehicle.The Motor Vehicles Inspector who was examined as P.W.2, inspected the vehicle and gave a report that there was no mechanical defect in the vehicle.Since the vehicle was abandoned in the place of occurrence itself, the Investigating Officer was able to trace P.W.5 who is running an office in the name of ""Andhra Transport"" which is a lorry booking office.On enquiry, the said P.W.5 caught hold of the accused and surrendered him to the police.It is his evidence before court that vehicles which enter the Tamil Nadu from Andhra Pradesh could be looked after at his transport office and the drivers hailing from Andhra Pradesh, after a long journey would be taking rest in the lorry shed.At that time, the accused used to drive those lorries for hire.Though the accursed contended before the trial court that he was not the person who drove the vehicle at the time of the accident, yet the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 3 coupled with the evidence of P.W.5 who surrendered the accused to the police, clinchingly establishes that it was the accused who drove the vehicle and there cannot be any doubt about it.The trial court, after going through the evidence of the injured witnesses as well as that of the Motor Vehicles Inspector came to the conclusion that the accused was guilty of the offences alleged against him and thus convicted him for the aforesaid offences and sentenced him to undergo R.I. for one year for offence Under Section 304(A) I.P.C. three months R.I. for offence Under Section 337 I.P.C. (on five counts) and a fine of Rs. 50 for each of the offences Under Sections 89(A) and (B) read with Section 118 of the Motor Vehicles Act.The appellate Judge, after going through the evidence on record, confirmed the judgment of learned trial Judge.Mr.S. Baskaran, learned counsel for the revision petitioner, apart from contending that the evidence on record do not implicate the accused with the guilt, also raised a legal plea that the appellate Judge had erred in hearing the appeal in the absence of the accused and his counsel and that he had no jurisdiction to dispose of the appeal in the manner in which he has done.","['Section 337 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No.437/2001 Page 4 of 13Per contra, arguments advanced by learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State are that the appellants have been rightly held guilty under Sections 498A/304B IPC by the trial court.The father as well as other relatives of the deceased have duly supported the case of prosecution that the deceased was subjected to cruelty and harassment on account of demand of dowry by the appellants.There is sufficient evidence against the appellants to hold them guilty for the offences of harassment on Crl.A. No.437/2001 Page 5 of 13 account of demand of dowry and of dowry death.Crl.A. No.437/2001 Page 5 of 13Arguments advanced by the counsel for the appellants as well as learned APP for the State were heard.In his testimony, PW1 Bhagwan Singh had deposed that the deceased was his real brother's daughter.A. No.437/2001 Page 7 of 13 Rs.2,000/- to his daughter on three occasions and Rs.4,000/- on two occasions and Rs.15,000/- on one occasion.In February 1997, accused Sham Sunder came to his house and demanded Rs.40,000/-.This witness gave Rs.20,000/- to accused Sham Sunder after mortgaging his land.Crl.A. No.437/2001 Page 7 of 13From the testimony of PW1 to PW5, it is amply clear that the deceased was being harassed by the appellants for or demand of dowry.In their testimony, these witnesses have deposed that after the marriage of the deceased with the appellant Sham Sunder, she was harassed and beaten up by the appellants for or in connection with demand of dowry.They have stated that the appellants used to demand motorcycle or cash in lieu thereof from the deceased and for the same, they used to harass her and also gave beatings to her.It is also stated by the witnesses that Jawahar Singh, father of the deceased gave Rs.2,000/- or Rs.3,000/- to the deceased on several occasions.It is also stated by the witnesses and specifically by PW5 Jawahar Singh that PW5 gave Rs.20,000/- to the appellant Sham Sunder after selling his agricultural land.Thus, from the testimony of above witnesses, there is enough evidence on record from which it has been established that the deceased was being harassed by the appellants for or in connection with demand of dowry.Therefore, the conviction of Crl.It was further observed that before an accused is found guilty for commission of an offence, the Court must arrive at a finding that the ingredients thereof have been established.It was held that statement of a witness for the said purpose must be read in its entirety.It is not necessary for a witness to make a statement in consonance with the wording of the section of a statute.What is needed is to find out whether the evidences brought on record satisfy the ingredients thereof.Necessary ingredients of dowry death as provided under Crl.A. No.437/2001 Page 9 of 13 Section 304B of IPC are :Crl.A. No.437/2001 Page 9 of 13(i)Deceased was the subject matter of cruelty on account of dowry and culminates into guilt of accused under Section 498A IPC;(ii)The death should have taken place due to bodily injuries other than normal circumstances; and(iii)Such death was the subject matter of cruelty soon before death.As far as death of the deceased Mithlesh is concerned, it is not in dispute that she died due to hanging which shows that the death of the deceased was not under normal circumstances and was due to the bodily injuries which fulfil the first ingredient for the commission of offence under Section 304B IPC.The second ingredient that death of the deceased had taken place within seven years of her marriage with the appellant is established from the evidence, as marriage had taken place on 26.02.1995 and her death took place on 21.04.1997 i.e. within three years of her marriage.The next and the most important ingredient required to be proved from the evidence is that the deceased was subjected to cruelty and harassment on account of demand of dowry by her husband or any relative of her husband and that was done soon before death.The prosecution has produced PW1 to PW5 to prove these ingredients.PW1 happened to be uncle of the deceased, Crl.A. No.437/2001 Page 10 of 13 PW2 & PW3 happened to be brothers of the deceased, PW4 happened to be neighbour of the appellants and PW5 happened to be father of the deceased.The detailed discussion of their testimony has already been made.Crl.A.

Sharma (PW-5) alongwith Mahesh Sharma (PW-3 Cr.12) visited the spot and prepared a report (Ex.P-20) and spot map Ex.P-21 was also prepared.4- From the spot, part of blood stained mattress and plain pieces of mattress were seized vide seizure memo Ex.P- 19 and appellants/ accused were arrested on 05/12/2005 (vide arrest memo Ex.P-4 to P-8) thereafter, on their information, axe and sticks were seized.Meanwhile, postmortem over the body of the deceased Bal Kishan was conducted and postmortem report vide Ex.P-35 was prepared by Dr. Milind Bhagat (PW-7).Statements of witnesses Mahendra, Kamla, Gaytri, Kamal Singh (PW-3), Diman Singh (PW-10) were recorded and after investigation, charge-sheet against the accused under Sections 147, 148, 302, 450 r/w Section 149 of IPC was filed.Accused abjured their guilt therefore, trial was conducted.5- Appellants/ accused took the defence of false implication.Their main defence was that due to enmity they have been falsely implicated.Evidence was led by the prosecution in which total 12 witnesses were examined wherein Mullo Bai (PW-8) was the sole eye witness and other witnesses were in support of the prosecution out of which Ratan Singh (PW-1), Pahalwan Singh (PW-2) did not support the story of prosecution therefore, they were declared as hostile by the prosecution.In support of defence, two witnesses were examined and they tried to bring home the theory of alibi in respect of accused/appellant No.1-Bal Kishan.6- After appreciating the evidence led by the parties and considering the documents, the trial Court convicted the 4 Cr.7- Learned Senior Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants raised the ground about the evidence led by the prosecution for implicating the appellants.Mullo Bai (PW-8) was the sole eye witness and she narrated the course of events.Only one injury of axe was found on the body of the deceased and no overt act of appellants No.2 to 5 was referred by the eye witnesses.In para 28 of her deposition, she submitted that she had seen the incident as well as accused persons through torch light which is not practically possible.There is material contradiction in her statements made before the police authorities under Section 161 of Cr.P.C. as well as in the Court.She had not seen the incident because the place where she was sleeping was far off from the place of incident therefore, it was not possible that she could have seen the incident.He relied upon the judgments rendered by the Apex Court in the cases of Govindaraju alias Govinda Vs.State by Sriramapuram Police Station and Another, (2012) 2 SCC (Cri) 533 as well as AIR 1957 SC 614, Chinniah Servai Vs.The State of Madras.4 Cr.8- Learned Senior Advocate further submits that the testimony of the sole eye witness is to be seen with doubt and cannot be relied upon to convict the appellants.It is further submitted that Kamal Singh (PW-3) village Chowkidar around 8:15 am informed the Police Station Bajarang Garh about the incident and vide entry No.946 in Rojnamcha Ex.P-42, the incident was jotted down.Therefore, it amounts to registration of FIR and subsequent documentation in the form of Dehati Nalshi and the marg intimation report were like statements under Section 161 of Cr.P.C and cannot be taken into account and the statements of the witnesses were not under Section 161 of Cr.P.C., in fact the statements were under Section 162 of Cr.P.C. He submits that Mullo Bai (PW-8) signed the Dehati Nalshi and therefore, it was hit by the provisions of Section 162 5 Cr.A.No.574/2006 of Cr.P.C. He relied upon the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of State of Andhra Pradesh Vs.While relying upon the testimony of Kamal Singh (PW-3), it is submitted that Kamal Singh did not intimate the police authorities about the assailants who murdered the deceased Bal Kishan.This material omission smacks doubt over the story of the prosecution.5 Cr.9- Similarly, non-examination of Mahendra Singh and Kashi proved fatal for the case of prosecution because Mahendra Singh was the person who informed Kamal Singh about the incident and Kashi visited the spot immediately after the incident therefore, they were material witnesses and their omission rendered the prosecution case a weak semblance of effective prosecution.While referring the application for autopsy/ postmortem of the corpse (Ex.P-35), no information has been detailed out regarding cause of death (and the names of probable accused) and it also prejudicially affects the case of the prosecution.While referring testimony of Dr. Milind Bhagat (PW-7) who had conducted postmortem over the body of the deceased, learned counsel submits that unless the Doctor refers that the injury was sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature, it could not have been presumed that the death was homicidal in nature.He relied upon the judgment of Apex Court in the case of Bhupendra Singh and Others Vs.State of Uttar Pradesh, 1991 SCC (Cri.) 571 as well as Parsuram Pandey and Others Vs.10- It is also submitted on behalf of the appellants that common object of the other co-accused has not been established by the prosecution.In absence of any cogent material to advance theory of common object viz. appellants No.2 to 5, liability under Sections 148 and 149 of IPC is not attracted.He referred AIR 2010 SC 3580, Sikandar Singh and Others Vs.State of Bihar and AIR 1989 SC 754, Lalji and Others Vs.6 Cr.12- Heard the learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the judgment and material available on record.""xnZu ij nkfguh rjQ ,d vkMk dVk gqvk ?kko Fkk] tks dku ds yksc ds uhps Fkk] rFkk esUMhcy ls ysdj LvwuksZesLVkbM Hkkx rd Fkk] vkdkj 9x4 lseh 6 lseh xgjkbZ rd FkkA nkfguh dku dk ykso dVk Fkk rFkk 'kjhj ds lkFk ugh ik;k x;k FkkA ""14- From perusal of the postmortem report and testimony of expert witness Dr. Milind Bhagat (PW-7), no iota 7 Cr.She also submits in categorical terms that her family and appellants' family were sharing animosity and therefore, she could easily recognize them and could recognize their voice.Appellants belong to one family and 2-3 days prior to the date of incident, Bal Kishan, Santosh and Parvat Singh were roaming around the house with an axe in their hands although Mullo Bai had not referred the factum of lamp and torch light in marg intimation report (Ex.P-36) and Dehati Nalshi (Ex.P-37) but in her statements which was taken by the Investigating Officer on the same day of incident i.e. 01/12/2005 vide Ex.D- 1, she referred the factum of torch light.She categorically stated in her statement under Section 161 of Cr.P.C. that she could recognize the appellants because of torch light and their voice.Being the residents of same vicinity and with shared animosity, it was much possible that she could have recognized the assailants/ appellants immediately.16- So far as the question of placement of Mullo Bai (PW-8) vis a vis the place of incident is concerned, the same is clarified by the Investigating Officer -Mahesh Sharma (PW-12).8 Cr.When a specific question was asked to him by the Court about the visibility of place of incident from the place where Mullo Bai was sleeping, Investigating Officer categorically replied that the spot of incident is clearly visible from the place where Mullo Bai was sleeping at the time of incident.This aspect is further corroborated by the spot map prepared by Senior Scientific Officer, S.P. Sharma vide Ex.Investigating Officer also prepared a spot map vide Ex.P-38 and the said spot map is a bit different than the spot map prepared by the Patwari Manish Shrivastava (PW-9) vide Ex.The trial Court rightly considered the said aspect while dealing with the question and rightly relied upon the spot map prepared by the Senior Scientific Officer vide Ex.Therefore, it was established that visibility was there for Mullo Bai to see the incident.17- One important aspect of the case in hand is that the eye witness Mullo Bai (PW-8) through Dehati Nalsi (Ex.37) and vide police statement Ex.D-1, referred the name of all the accused persons and through out her statement, she referred the name of all the accused persons therefore, the credibility of eye witness cannot be treated as shaken to the extent of disbelief.Appellants on the basis of some contradictions between her submissions and Dehati Nalshi report and her statement under Section 161 of Cr.P.C., tried to contend that this witness does not deserve to be believed because of contradictory nature of statements but the contradiction is not to the extent of discarding the statement of this witness.It is the general human response that on reiteration of narration of facts, the fact which was earlier lost in the narration got included subsequently.Mullo Bai (PW-8) is a rustic villager aged about 55 years therefore, those contradictions are not such grave in nature rendering the evidence discarded out rightly.Even Ratan Singh (PW-1) who 9 Cr.A.No.574/2006 did not support the story of the prosecution and declared hostile, but in his examination-in-chief, he referred the fact about mentioning of names of appellants by Mullo Bai (PW-8) to him.This aspect is material piece of evidence, corroborates the narration of events by Mullo Bai.9 Cr.18- Another ground of defence was non-appearance of Mahendra Singh, Kashi in the witness box but since Mahendra Singh and Kashi both were not eye witnesses of the incident and reached at the spot, after the incident therefore, their non- examination does not have material bearing in the case.Village Chowkidar-Kamal Singh (PW-3) although referred the incident on the basis of information given by Mahendra Singh that somebody in the night killed Bal Kishan but Kamal Singh did not visit the spot and met Mullo Bai after the incident and before intimating the police about the incident.When Kamal Singh did not meet Mullo Bai before intimating the police about the incident then it cannot be inferred that Mullo Bai did not refer the name of accused to Kamal Singh.19- Another ground of defence in respect of plea of alibi taken in respect of accused Bal Kishan does not hold ground due to the fact that Neelam Singh (DW-1) has made statements supporting the case of appellant No.1-Bal Kishan that Bal Kishan was engaged by him to perform agriculture work over his field in commissioning of bore well at his agriculture field but any documentary receipt/ agreement etc., have not been produced in support of the story therefore, the plea of alibi is not established by the defence in support of appellant No.1-Bal Kishan.According to him, Police arrested Bal Kishan on 01/10/2005 whereas the Police caught hold of Bal Kishan on 05/12/2005 which is clear from deposition of Investigating Officer Mahesh Sharma (PW-12).Therefore, said witness was not trustworthy and cannot be relied upon.20- The judgments relied upon by the appellants move in different factual realm.The fact situation of the present case gives sufficient differentiation vis a vis those judgments.Here 10 Cr.In her initial Dehati Nalshi report, marg report, police statement and deposition she maintained the course of incident as it was and since beginning she referred the names of appellants as perpetrator of the incident who caused death of her son.Her location was proximate enough to infer about her credibility.10 Cr.21- The Sessions Judge has critically examined the evidence of the eye-witnesses in a comprehensive manner and rightly reached a conclusion that the evidence of eye witness is worth credence.","['Section 149 in The Indian

Prosecution case which lead to the trial as essential as follows:On dated 05/6/1995 at about 5 PM prosecutrix (PW-1) was guarding lSoa;k to dry on Otla of the house of accused Mukesh with Preeti (PW-4) and Bulbul.Preeti left the place to drink water, at that time, accused Mukesh came over there and intended Bulbul to go away.Thereafter, accused used criminal force on prosecutrix intending to outrage her modesty by forcefully fingering in her private part.At about 06:00 p.m. when Prosecutrix (PW-1) came to house, was weeping, by the night she did not have the dinner.On next morning at about 09:00 a.m. on enquiring by mother Amri bai (PW-2), she narrated all the facts and complained pain in private part.She also narrated this fact that accused threatened him, if she will tell this incident to anybody, he will harm her.Amri bai (PW-2) after informing the matter to husband Ram Narayan, lodged the First Information Report (Ex.P/1) at Police Station Kotwali, Sehore.The Investigating Officer Shri Sukhram Choudhary, (PW-5) ASI went to the spot, prepared the spot map, recorded statements of the witnesses and managed to send prosecutrix for medical checkup.At District Hospital, Sehore Dr. Neera Shrivastava (PW-3) examined her.After required investigation, charge-sheet was filed against accused.Learned trial Court framed charges as mentioned in para 01 against accused, who abjured his guilt, therefore, he was put to trial.In order to establish guilt of accused, the prosecution examined five witnesses, the prosecutrix (PW-1), her mother Amribai (PW-2), Preeti (PW-4), Dr. Neera Shrivastava (PW-3) and Investigating Officer Shri Sukhram Choudhary (PW-5) and also exhibited documents.The statement of respondent was recorded under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, in which, he denied all the charges leveled against him and pleaded his innocence and falsely implication due to old enmity.Contentions of the learned counsel for the State is that learned trial Court committed an error while relying upon the facts that there was old enmity between families of complainant and respondent.It is further contended that the learned trial Court also committed an error that FIR was delayed, instead of that there was sufficient reasons to explain the delay as the prosecutrix was aged about 8 - 9 years old and she was under forceful stage.On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent supported the impugned judgment.Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.The case in hand, except the prosecutrix (PW-1), others witnesses are hearsay witnesses.As per the statement of Preeti (PW-4), the prosecutrix did not tell him about the incident directly, her source of information was a third person i.e. her sister Seema.It is pertinent to mention here that oath were not administered to the prosecutrix (PW-1) and Preeti (PW-4) looking to their age 4 and 10 years respectively.The prosecutrix (PW-1) stated all the facts as mentioned above, therefore, need not to repeat again.During cross- examination she admitted enmity between her father and respondent family, though, in answer to the question asked by learned trial Court, she corrected herself saying that this enmity is after this incident.But, Preeti (PW-4) also admitted enmity between two families.This admission of prosecutrix (PW-1) is also very much damaging for the prosecution that whatever her mother father has narrated her, she is stating in the Court.Prosecutrix (PW-1) categorically stated that due to incident blood was oozing out, so she went to her aunt (kaki), who applied oil on her private part.Amribai (PW-2) admitted that when weeping prosecutrix came to the home and explained the incident, then she also applied powder on her private part.Both the admissions proved that whole incident was in the knowledge of Amribai (PW-2) and kaki, other relative of prosecutrix, on the same day in the evening itself after the incident.Amribai (PW-2) during cross-examination admitted that prosecutrix narrated her all the facts regarding the incident by the evening of the same day.She further admitted that at about 07:00 p.m. on same day, she narrated all the facts to her father also.As per the statement of Preeti (PW-4) this fact is also established that after the incident, the prosecutrix visited her house and narrated whole incident to her sister Seema.She further stated that Seema narrated this fact to the prosecutrix's sister Archana and her mother i.e. aunt (kaki) of prosecutrix.In view of the aforesaid discussion, it is proved that not only to Seema, sister of Preeti (PW-4) and her mother, kaki, the prosecutrix narrated all the facts on the date of incident at evening but also to her mother Amribai (PW-2) and father.It means, that when Amribai (PW-2) saying that in the next morning prosecutrix narrated about the incident is totally contradictory, hence doubtful.Inspite of above facts, as per the First Information Report Ex.P/1, the incident took place on 05.06.1996 in between 5 - 6 pm, the report was lodged on the next day on 06.06.1996 at 15.30 hours.The distance from the place of occurrence to police station Kotwali Sehore is only one kilometer.P/1 at police station which was situated only one k.m. away from the place of incident.This unexplained delay regarding lodging of First Information Report Ex.P/1 is the sole fact which is fatal for the prosecution.Dr. Neera Shrivastava (PW-3) during her cross-examination admitted that contusion which was found on private part of the prosecutrix (PW-1), can be inflicted by the prosecutrix herself.The learned trial Court in light of above discussed facts and circumstances rightly disbelieved the statement of prosecutrix (PW-1), her mother Amribai (PW-2) and Preeti (PW-4) due to unexplained delay in lodging the First Information Report Ex.","['Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD Court No. - 67 A.F.R.Case :- APPLICATION U/S 482 No. - 4191 of 2020 Applicant :- Sachin Dahiya And 2 Others Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Naveen Tiwari Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi J.[1] Heard Shri Naveen Tiwari and Sri Prashant Manchanda, learned counsels for the applicants and learned A.G.A. and perused the record.[2] This is an application under section 482 Cr.P.C. filed by learned Counsels for the applicants.After hearing the arguments at length, learned counsel has raised certain vital legal issues emanating from perusal of the impugned summoning order dated 02.05.2019 passed by learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Room No. 12, Baghpat in Complaint Case No. 710/2018 U/s 406[3] Learned counsel for the applicant has pointed out serious legal fallacy and flaws in the impugned summoning order dated 02.05.2019 as the same is in direct and stark defiance of the true spirit of Section 202(1) of Cr.P.C., thus, the Court proposes to evaluate the submissions of learned counsel for the applicant and decide the issue at the admission stage itself.[4] Before discussing the legal aspect of the issue, it is imperative to give a brief factual insight of the case so as to appreciate the controversy involved in its correct legal perspective;[5] The applicants have invoked extraordinary jurisdiction of this Court under section 482 Cr.P.C., by challenging summoning order dated 02.05.2019 passed by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Room No. 12, Baghpat in Complaint case filed by opposite party no.2 In re: Sureshwati Vs.Kadam Singh Dahiya and others in Complaint Case No. 710/2018 U/s 406 I.P.C., Police Station Binolli, District Baghpat and the entire proceeding of Complaint Case including the non-bailable-warrants dated 02.01.2020 against the accused/applicants procuring their attendance to face the prosecution under section 406 IPC.[6] Applicant no.1, Sachin Dahiya is the husband of Ms. Priya (hence deceased) and applicant nos.2 and 3 are the father-in-law and mother-in-law respectively of the deceased daughter-in-law.During their stay at Delhi, applicant no. 1 got married with daughter of opposite party no.2 on 28.11.2014 at Delhi itself.[7] Learned counsel for the applicants submits that after camouflaging her real address, opposite party no.2 initiated the present criminal case at Baghpat, projecting that she is permanent resident of District Baghpat and this manipulation was done by her, just to harass the applicants and torpedo the applicants with number of criminal cases against them at different places.It is asserted by the learned counsel for the applicants that the real and permanent address of opposite party no.2 is RZ-C 109, Vinodpuri, Vijay Enclave, Palam Davari Road, Delhi but she has obscured her true and permanent address and just to create the territorial jurisdiction at Baghpat, managed to get the complaint filed at Baghpat judgeship.On the same day a first information report No. 654/2015 was got registered under sections 498A, 304B and 34 I.P.C. at Police Station Adarsh Nagar, Delhi and police too after investigation, has submitted its report under section 173(2) Cr.P.C. under the aforementioned sections of Penal Code.[9] Contentions raised by counsel for the applicants are that neither in the first information report nor during investigation there was any whisper regarding criminal breach of trust or misappropriation of valuable belongings of Ms. Priya, ergo, the police submitted its report under the aforementioned sections of Penal Code.[11] The learned counsel for the applicants has drawn attention of the court to the testimony of opposite party no.2 recorded as PW-18 before Sri Ramesh Kumar, Additional Sessions Judge, Court No.5 (North), Rohini Court, Delhi during the trial of FIR No. 654/2018, In re: State Vs.While giving her deposition as PW-18, she introduced herself as Smt. Sureshwati wife of late Shri Raj Kumar Rana resident of RZ-C, 109, Vinodpuri, Palam, Vijay Enclave, Delhi.Thus contended that in the present complaint case, she has mislead the court, by demonstrating wrong address at village Dhanora, Silvar Nagar Police Station Vinolli, Baghpat U.P. for that purpose and it is vigorously contended that the learned Magistrate has probably overlooked this legal fallacy and entertained the said complaint case filed by complainant Ms. Sureshwati, without verifying her correct proper address.Besides this, it is also canvassed that daughter of opposite party no.2 had initiated proceeding before Crime Against Women Cell, (CAW Cell), Delhi in year 2015 wherein a list of articles were furnished by opposite party no.2 and responding to that list, the applicants have already handed over those articles, lying in the sealed flat, during course of trial at Delhi.Contentions raised, that before every upcoming forum, she painted new picture and new list of the articles.[12] This Court while entertaining the instant 482 application ex-parte, is not in position to adjudicate anything on factual merits of the case, with regard to submission advanced by the learned counsel for the applicants with regard to alleged discrepancies in the list of articles but certainly the Court can arbitrate and gauge the territorial jurisdiction of the court and the process adopted by the learned Magistrate while passing the cognizance order dated 02.05.2019 for the offence under section 406 IPC while summoning the applicants.[13] Contention raised by the counsel for the applicants that the learned Magistrate lacks territorial jurisdiction to entertain the instant complaint case on the ground that- contesting parties are permanent residents of Delhi; the marriage was solemnized at Delhi; unfortunate incident of demise of daughter of opposite party no.2 took place at Delhi and the applicants are facing prosecution under section 304B I.P.C. and allied sections pending before the competent Sessions Judge at Rohini Court, Delhi.","['Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 200 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"It is noted that this application is preferred alongwith affidavits of some victims as well as copy of the entire chargesheet alongwith the Police report filed under Section 173, Cr.P.C. In such chargesheet case-diary statements of as many as 08 witnesses, namely, Vikas Sharma, Sudhir Sethia, Mahesh Katare, Kamal Singh Parihar, Vinod Kumar Joshi, Akhilesh Ojha, Vinod Kumar Shivhare and Sunil Shrivastava are annexed and available on record.In the course of arguments, in response to some query of the Court based on the evidence available in the chargesheet including the interrogatory statements of Akhilesh Ojha and Sunil Shrivastava instead to argue, the learned counsel for the applicant at this stage seeks permission to withdraw this petition with liberty to revive the prayer at subsequent stage by mentioning some additional facts and circumstances.Considering the aforesaid, the petition is hereby dismissed as withdrawn as well as not pressed with aforesaid liberty.Before parting with the matter we would like to mention here that during the course of the arguments, applicant's counsel has referred the photocopies of certified copy of the order dated 2 MCRC No.3429/2016 (Udai alias Kanhai Chauhan Vs.State of MP) 09.06.2016 passed by the CJM Bhind (Shri Dhanraj Dubela) and the depositions of the examined prosecution witnesses, namely, Vikas Sharma (PW1), Sudhir Sethia (PW2) and Mahesh Katare (PW3), the same are taken on record.On perusing such ordersheet dated 09.06.2016 passed by said subordinate Court in Criminal Case No.435/16, we have found that such Court has permitted to the victims Mahesh Katare and Sudhir Sethia to compound the offences of Sections 420 and 406 of IPC with the applicant herein and subsided such offences and pursuant to that, the charges of Sections 420 and 406 of IPC were not framed against the applicant.On mere perusal of the Police report, it is apparent that as per list of the documents, various case diary statements of witnesses have been annexed with the chargesheet.On record alongwith chargesheet as many as 08 case-diary statements of witnesses have been placed.Mere perusal of the interrogatory statements of Akhilesh Oza and Sunil Shrivastava, prima-facie it is apparent that they were also victims of the applicant with whom also the alleged offence was committed and such evidence was very well before the trial Court, but such police statements of the victims were ignored.According to which, the offences of Sections 406 and 420 of IPC were also committed by the applicant in connection of victims but Presiding Officer of the trial Court contrary to such record has permitted the parties to compound the offences only at the request of the victims Vikas Sharma (PW1), Sudhir Sethia (PW2) and pursuant to such compromise the applicant has been acquitted from the charge of Sections 406 and 420 of IPC.We are of the considered view that the Presiding Officer of 3 MCRC No.3429/2016 (Udai alias Kanhai Chauhan Vs.State of MP) the trial Court while dealing with the compromise applications specially in the cognizable matter was duty bound to examine the matter thoroughly including the aforesaid case-diary statements of the other victims, but in the impugned matter Presiding Officer has considered the compromise application filed by some of the victims in a very casual manner contrary to the papers of the chargesheet.It is apparent from the chargesheet, that as per the prosecution case in the alleged scheme as many as 1200 members were made and from them the applicant was collecting the money in monthly installments by giving them the offer in the shape of Chit Fund Yojna.Although in the investigation all such members were not interrogated by the Police but in any case the aforesaid named two witnesses were also interrogated as victims.But in any case to consider the compromise application, the Presiding Officer of the trial Court merely on the basis of the application of the two victims named above could not acquit to the applicant.In such premises the trial Court by ignoring the material evidence of the chargesheet has wrongly acquitted the applicant from the charge of Sections 406 and 420 of IPC.Apart aforesaid in the available circumstances, the Principal Registrar of this Bench is hereby directed to register suo motu 4 MCRC No.3429/2016 (Udai

+"The case of the prosecution as noticed by the Trial Court reads as under:It is case of prosecution that on 30.08.93 at about 10 pm, Raj Kiran was present in the compound of his house situated in Village Khera Kalan.At that time, his younger brothers Narender and Om Singh and their uncle Balwant were also present there.All of them heard someone calling Raj Kiran.Raj Kiran sent his younger brother Narender but at the same time, he himself also got up and went out of his house.Sushil Kumar (accused) was seen pulling Narender out of the house by his hand.Surender took Narender in his grip from his backside.Sushil Kumar accused stabbed Narender.Sushil Kumar accused exhorted Ashok to stab Raj Kiran whereupon Ashok stabbed Raj Kiran in the middle of his abdomen,right side of his waist and on his buttock.As a result of the stab wound, Raj Kiran fell down and became unconscious.The occurrence was witnessed by Om Singh and Balwant Singh.Om Singh raised alarm for being saved.Accused persons then ran away from the spot towards their house.Many persons from the public also gathered there.About 10/15 days prior to the aforesaid occurrence, at about 4/5 pm, Raj Kiran and his brother Om Singh were present near their house.Sushil accused came towards them driving a jeep at a high speed.Om Singh and Raj Kiran had a narrow escape.Complainant party went to house of Sushil accused to lodge protest with his father Randhir Singh.Sushil accused was scolded by his father.On the same day, Sushil accused threatened to deal with them one by one.On 30.08.93 at about 10/10.30 pm, Inspector Harshvardhan, SHO, PS S.P. Badli received information on wireless that an incident of stabbing had taken place in Village Khera Kalan.Thereupon, he accompanied by Ct.Ramesh Kumar reached the spot i.e. near the house of Baldeva.SI Darshan Lal and Ct.Satanand were also found present there.The SI and the Constable had reached there on receiving call of quarrel at the Crl.Inspector Harshvardhan left Constable Ramesh at the spot to guard it and himself accompanied by SI Darshan Lal and Ct.Satanand reached Hindu Rao Hospital and from there collected MLC of Narender.As per MLC, Narender had been declared brought dead.Raj Kiran, injured was allegedly declared by the doctor unfit to make statement.Balwant Singh met the Inspector at the hospital and made statement.The Inspector appended endorsement whereupon ruqqa was sent from the hospital through Ct. Sadanand and present case was registered.The Inspector prepared rough site plan of the place of occurrence as pointed out by Balwant Singh.From the spot, the Inspector once again visited Hindu Rao Hospital and enquired about fitness of Raj Kiran to make statement.Still Raj Kiran was unfit to make statement.Balwant Singh PW produced before the Inspector one underwear of Raj Kiran.The underwear was found blood stained and having a cut.It was turned into a parcel, sealed with the seal bearing impression HV and then taken into possession vide a memo.It is also case of prosecution that on 30.08.93, Dr. R. Bhagi medico legally examined Narender and Raj Kiran at Hindu Rao Hospital and opined that sharp weapon was used in causing injuries on their person.In this respect, reports were given by the doctor.Lateron, Dr. V.K. Sehdev of Santom Hospital appended endorsement in MLC declaring Raj Kiran unfit to make statement.Dr. Ashok Jaiswal conducted autopsy on the dead body of Narender and prepared report.In the opinion of the doctor, all the injuries were antemortem in nature; injury No.1 and 2 were caused with a sharp edged weapon; injury No.3 and 5 were caused by fall and friction against hard surface; and injury No.2 was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.In the opinion of the doctor, Narender died due to haemorhagic shock consequent to the injuries to the abdominal viscera.Mahender Singh delivered special reports to senior police officers and learned Metropolitan Magistrate.Constable Satanand produced two sealed parcels and sample seal of the seal of Dr. B. Singh, before the Inspector who seized the same vide a memo and in turn deposited the same in the malkhana.The dead body of Narender was delivered to the relatives of the deceased.It is further case of prosecution that in the evening of 31.08.93, the Inspector was present on G.T. Road, within the area of PS S.P. Badli.He received secret information to the effect that Sushil accused was present at the railway station, Khera Kalan and was about to flee away.Thereupon, the Inspector accompanied by SI Darshan Lal, Ct.Satanand and secret informer reached railway station, Khera Kalan, apprehended Sushil accused at the pointing out of secret informer.He was arrested and his personal search memo was prepared.He also made disclosure statement before the Inspector and in pursuance thereof he got recovered a knife from the grass under a bench at the railway station, Khera Kalan.The Inspector prepared rough sketch i.e of the knife, turned the knife into parcel and seized the same vide a memo.The Inspector visited Hindu Rao Hospital thrice/four times to record statement of Raj Kiran but every time he was found unfit to make statement.PW-9/A).The first site plan (Ex.The role assigned by him to the accused Surender was that he took his brother (deceased) in his grip from his back side and the accused Sushil stabbed his brother on the left side of his abdomen and on the face near his nose.The accused Sushil exhorted his brother Ashok that he should stab him.As a result of which the accused Ashok stabbed him in the middle of his abdomen, right side of his waist and buttock.Thereafter, PW5 fell down and became unconscious and when he re-gained consciousness, he found himself at Hindu Rao Hospital.With regard to motive, PW5 Raj Karan reiterated the incident which took place 10/15 days prior to the instant case.i) that on 30.08.1993, at 11.20 PM, he was brought by HC Vijender Singh (PCR R-87) to Hindu Rao Hospital;ii) that the injured was brought with alleged history of fight (stabbed) as told by the relations of the injured;iii) that the injured was unconscious, gasping and his blood pressure was not recordable;This led to Balwant Singh (PW-12) and Tara Chand complaining to the father of the respondent Sushil.Other persons also accompanied them.Father of accused Sushil begged forgiveness and reprimanded Sushil causing him to harbour a grudge against them.A. 731/2007 Page 25 of 42Om Singh (PW-4) deposed before the Trial Court that about 15-20 days prior to the incident, the respondent Sushil had drove the jeep at a very high speed near their house and at the time, he had a narrow escape.At this, the witness goes astray of the story of the prosecution.He further deposed that he himself had complained to the father of the respondent Sushil, who had scolded Sushil.He deposed that earlier also, the respondent Sushil had driven his vehicle at a high speed and it was only when the incident was repeated, the incident was reported to the father of the respondent Sushil.He also deposed that at the moment of narrow escape, he was standing with his brother Raj Karan and then they both had gone to lodge a complaint to the father of Sushil.After the complaint, the respondent Sushil had threatened to kill them.During cross-examination, PW-4 categorically denied the suggestion that his uncle Balwant and tau (uncle) Tara Chand had gone to complain to the father of the respondent Sushil.He affirmed the suggestion that prior to the incident, there was no enmity with the family of the respondent Sushil.Thus, it is difficult to believe that PW5 Raj Karan was not medically fit to make a statement on 30.08.1993 when he was brought to Hindu Rao Hospital or soon thereafter.In this regard, we concur with the findings of the learned Trial Court that the contents of rukka showing that the doctor declared Raj Karan unfit to make statement are not in consonance with the contents of the MLC Ex.PW6/B. In this regard, PW16 who was Investigating Officer deposed that he had visited Hindu Rao Hospital three to four times to record the statement of PW5 Raj Karan but he was found unfit every time and the statement of PW5 was recorded on 13.09.1993 by him upon his visit to Santom Hospital, Rohini.The statement of injured witness PW-5 Raj Karan was recorded after about 14 days from the incident, the delay in doing so remained unanswered and unexplained.It is the case of the prosecution that on 31.08.1993, the respondent Sushil made a disclosure statement and then got discovered a blood stained knife from the Railway Station of village Khera Kalan.The said recovery was made in the presence of PW2 Kartar Singh, SI Darshan Lal (since deceased), PW15 HC Satanand and PW16 Insp.PW2 Kartar Singh deposed in his examination-in-chief that on 31.08.1993, at about 7.00/7.30 AM while he was returning from his fields, he saw Police Officials standing near Railway Station of village Khera Kalan.Some public persons were also found standing there.The respondent Sushil who was correctly identified by PW2 in Court alongwith the Police officials and PW2 entered the platform.The respondent Sushil picked a knife which was blood stained from the platform which was subsequently sealed and turned into a parcel.PW15 HC Satanand deposed in his examination-in-chief that he was accompanied by PW16 Harshvardhan and SI Darshan Lal (since dead) to the village Khera Kalan where they were being informed by a secret informer that the respondent Sushil who gave stab injuries during the incident which took place last night was sitting at the Railway Station of village Khera Kalan.Thereupon, they reached the said Railway Station and found respondent Sushil sitting on a bench.Enquiry was made to him.One knife was found lying in the grass under the cement bench where he was sitting.The said knife was found blood stained.PW15 further deposed that PW2 Kartar Singh, a resident of the same Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 31 of 42 village had also come to the Railway Station who had attested the recovery memo.In his cross-examination, it was stated by PW15 HC Satanand that a secret informer met them on 31.08.1993, at about 5.00 PM.Disclosure statement of the respondent Sushil was recorded whereupon he disclosed about a knife.It was stated by PW15 that he did not remember as to whether respondent Sushil had disclosed that he had concealed a knife under the cemented bench, or that the said knife was used by him in causing injuries to the deceased and PW5 Raj Karan.It was also stated by PW15 that pursuant to the secret information received, firstly they had gone to the village Khera Kalan and then PW2 Kartar Singh was taken along from the village.A. 731/2007 Page 31 of 42PW16 Harshvardhan who was posted as SHO, Police Station S.P.Badli on the day of incident and was the Investigating Officer in the present case deposed in his examination-in-chief that in the evening of 31.08.1993, while he was present on G.T.Road within the area of Police Station S. P. Badli, he received an information through a secret informer that the respondent Sushil was present at Railway Station Khera Kalan and was about to flee from there.PW16 accompanied by SI Darshan Lal (since dead), PW15 HC Satanand alongwith the secret informer reached the Railway Station Khera Kalan.After pointing out by the secret informer, PW16 apprehended the respondent Sushil and then interrogated him after arresting him.His personal search memo was prepared by him.The respondent Sushil made a disclosure statement (Ex.PW16/D) stating that the knife used by him in the stabbing was concealed by him in the grass under the bench of the Railway Station.Thereafter, respondent Sushil pointed out the place where he had concealed the knife and at the same time took out the said Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 32 of 42 knife form the grass under the bench at the Railway Station.The evidence on record establishes that on 30.08.1993 at about 10:00 PM, Om Singh (PW4), Raj Karan (PW5) and deceased along with their uncle Balwant Singh (PW12) were sitting in their house.The accused Sushil called for Raj Karan, whereas Raj Karan sent the deceased Narender out of the house as to see who was calling him.The Crl.Present appeal has been filed under Section 378(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 ('Cr.P.C.') against the judgment dated 28.03.2007 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge: Fast Track Courts, Rohini ('Trial Court') in Sessions Case No. 02/2006 arising out of FIR No.359/1993 PS Samaypur Badli under Section 302/307/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('IPC') whereby all the accused persons/respondents herein have been acquitted.Initially the State had filed a Petition seeking Leave to Appeal being Crl.L.P. 188/2007, which Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 1 of 42 was allowed vide order dated 16.11.2007 and the case was converted into a regular appeal.A. 731/2007 Page 1 of 42A. 731/2007 Page 2 of 42 house of Ram Kishan.On reaching the spot, they learnt that two persons had been removed to hospital by PCR staff.A. 731/2007 Page 2 of 42On return to the spot, the Inspector collected sample of blood from there, turned it into a parcel and sealed the same with seal bearing impression HV.The sample of blood was then seized vide a memo.On 31.08.93, the Inspector once again reached Hindu Rao Hospital, carried out inquest proceedings in respect of dead body of Narender, recorded statements of Ram Kishan and Radhey Shyam in respect of identification of dead body; prepared inquest Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 3 of 42 proceedings and submitted request for conducting autopsy on the dead body.A. 731/2007 Page 3 of 42It was on 13.09.93 that the Inspector recorded statement of Raj Kiran after visiting Santom Hospital.On 15.10.93, the Inspector got dispatched sealed parcels Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 4 of 42 lying deposited with MHC(M), to CFSL, Chandigarh through Ct.Jaswant Singh.On analysis, report was received.A. 731/2007 Page 4 of 42On 30.09.93, SI Manohar Lal visited the spot, where Om Singh was present, and he prepared scaled site plan of the place of occurrence....""The chargesheet was filed before the Trial Court and after hearing the parties, charge was framed on 16.09.1999 against the accused Sushil/respondent No.1 under Section 302 IPC and later on 09.11.2005, charge was framed against the other two accused persons/respondent No. 2 and 3 under Section 302/34 IPC.All the respondents pleaded not guilty and the case proceeded to trial.When the matter was listed before the Trial Court for final arguments on 14.03.2007, an additional charge was ordered to be framed against the accused Ashok/respondent No.2 under Section 307 IPC and against the other two accused persons/respondent No. 1 and 3 under Section 307/34 IPC.To bring home the guilt of the accused persons/respondents, the prosecution examined 16 witnesses in all.Statements of the accused persons/respondents were recorded under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. wherein they denied all the incriminating circumstances against them and claimed false implication.The accused Surender/respondent no.3 raised the plea that he was not present in the village on the day of the offence.Two witnesses were examined by the respondents in their defence.After examining the evidence before it, the Trial Court found the testimonies of the eyewitnesses (PW-4, 5 and 12) to be unreliable as being contradictory and being improved on material aspects, the prosecution had failed to show the exact location of the incident, recovery was found to be unreliable, motive was not established and Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 5 of 42 there was delay in lodging of FIR opening scope of tutoring and ultimately, acquitted all the accused persons/respondents herein.Aggrieved, the State had filed a leave to appeal, which was allowed and converted into the present appeal.The State is assisted by the counsel for the complainant.A. 731/2007 Page 5 of 42Kolluru, learned APP for the State, submits that the judgment passed by the Trial Court is not in consonance with the law as well as facts which emerged during the trial.The Trial Court has failed to take into consideration that there were three eyewitnesses account, i.e. Om Singh (PW-4), Raj Karan (PW-5) and Balwant Singh (PW-12), whose testimony is cogent and reliable and the defence was unable to impeach their veracity even during the cross-examination.Kolluru submits that grave miscarriage of justice has occurred by recording acquittal of the accused persons/respondents herein by the Trial Court and thus, warranting interference by this Court.Learned counsel submitted that the three eyewitnesses have been consistent on all the material counts including that (i) the complainant party was sitting at home when the incident occurred; (ii) someone called out to Raj Karan (PW-5); (iii) the deceased was sent out and the respondent no.1/accused Sushil pulled him out and stabbed him while accused Surender held him; and (iv) The accused Ashok had stabbed Raj Karan (PW-5).It is next submitted that there are very minor inconsistencies between the ocular account and the medical record and cannot cast any doubt upon the Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 6 of 42 ocular account.As regards motive, Ms.Kolluru has submitted that 15-20 days prior to the incident, respondent Sushil had driven his jeep at very high speed and in a reckless manner barely avoiding Om Singh (PW-4).The family members then went to complain to respondent Sushil's father about this, which enraged the respondent Sushil and he threatened them.It is submitted that as regards the inconsistencies highlighted by the Trial Court to throw out motive, the same were very minor and did not go to the root of the matter.The second reason of the Trial Court that Raj Karan (PW-5) was neither the victim of the rash driving nor the complainant and there was no reason for the respondent Sushil to call him out is also fallacious.Learned counsel submitted that both PW-4 and PW-5 were witnesses to the rash driving incident and even if some other family member complained about the same, it was only at their instance and thus, it was natural for the respondent Sushil to nurse a grudge against them.Further, Raj Karan (PW-5) being the eldest brother, it was natural for the respondent Sushil to call him over anyone else.Kolluru next contended that there was no delay in the recording of the FIR which would have allowed deliberation to falsely implicate the respondents.The incident occurred at about 10.00 PM, the DD No. 18-A was recorded at 10:20 PM, the victims were brought to the Hospital at 11:20 PM while Narender succumbed to his injuries at Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 7 of 42 11:45 PM and the statement of PW-12 Balwant Singh was recorded at the Hospital and tehrir endorsed at 12:50 AM.The total time gap between the death of Narender and the registration of FIR is only 1 hour and the rukka statement clearly mentions the presence and role of all the three respondents.Accordingly, Ms.Kolluru submits that there was no delay in the recording of the FIR.A. 731/2007 Page 7 of 42It is submitted by learned counsel for the State that the reason why the statement of Raj Karan (PW-5) was recorded on 13.09.1993 is that even though he was conscious, he was not oriented.R.Bhagi (PW-6) had prepared the MLC and deposed before the Trial Court that he had referred both the deceased and PW-5 Raj Karan to emergency surgery and hence, the IO would not have got a chance to record his statement.The MLC (Ex.PW-6/B) contains two endorsements to the effect that PW-5 Raj Karan was declared unfit to make a statement, one dated 02.09.1993 and the other undated made by PW-8 Dr.V.K. Sehdev of Santhom Hospital (where PW-5 Raj Karan received treatment after leaving Hindu Rao Hospital).The IO (PW-16) has also deposed that he went to the Hindu Rao Hospital 3-4 times for recording of the statement of PW-5 Raj Karan, but found him unfit.Learned counsel concluded that the delay in recording the statement of PW-5 Raj Karan stood duly confirmed and even otherwise, the names of the respondents already figured in the rukka on the same day the offence was committed.Further, Balwant Singh (PW-12) is not a planted witness.The mere omission of the doctor to mention his name in the MLC is not a ground to disbelieve his presence on the spot.All the eyewitnesses have categorically deposed about the presence of PW-12 at the spot and both PW-4 and PW-12 have stated that PW-12 accompanied the injured in Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 8 of 42 the PCR vehicle.PW-4 stated that Tara Chand later went to the Hospital and it is possible that at the time of recording of the MLC, the doctor spoke to him and his name got recorded.It was never contended that the bodies of PW-5 and the deceased were moved single handedly by Balwant Singh (PW-12) and the finding to this effect is in the realm of sheer conjecture.At the spot, admittedly PW-4 was also present and he could have assisted PW-12 in the endeavour.A. 731/2007 Page 8 of 42Learned counsel for the State further submitted that the Trial Court has erred in not relying on the recovery of the blood stained knife at the instance of the respondent Sushil.The public witness (PW-2) and the police witnesses (PW-15 and PW-16) are consistent to all the material aspects of the recovery and the difference in the time of recovery is immaterial.Further, it is contended that the presence of the respondents namely Surender and Ashok also stands established from the testimonies of the eyewitnesses.Neither DW-1 nor DW-2 can serve as alibis with regard to the presence of respondent Ashok and even if they are believed, respondent Ashok could have accompanied his brothers/co-accused bidding DW-1 and DW-2 goodbye and entered his house.Even the failure of the prosecution to examine public witnesses is of no consequence in view of the clear and consistent testimonies of the eyewitnesses.Kolluru submitted that the failure to seize the clothes of Raj Karan (PW-5) would make no difference as the knife used by the respondent Ashok was never recovered and the analysis of correlation between the stab injuries and the marks on the clothes would not be possible.It is next submitted that the spot of the occurrence was also identifiable.The mere statement by PW-15 and DD No. 18-A of the spot at the Crl.Even the two site plans are consistent as the site of the occurrence being infront of the house of Baldeva.Further, the absence of the location of PW-12 in the site plan (Ex.PW-16/B) from where he witnessed the incident is of no consequence and amounts to creating issues out of non-issues.As regards the position of the respondent Surender not being mentioned in the site plan (Ex.PW-16/B) is concerned, the same is clearly identifiable as point 'A' as the respondent Surender had caught hold of the deceased Narender and the place he was attacked would also be the location of the respondent Surender.A. 731/2007 Page 9 of 42The final contention of Ms.Kolluru is that the non-examination of the PCR staff, though a lapse on the part of the IO, is not fatal to the case of the prosecution.Even the anomaly between the date of dispatch and receipt of the sealed parcels at Chandigarh cannot lead to the conclusion that there was a possibility of tampering as no suggestion has been made to any of the witnesses to this effect during cross-examination.The learned counsel for the State concluded by submitting that the eyewitness accounts of PW-4, 5 and 12 are clear, consistent with each other and assign specific roles to each of the respondents.Statements of PW-4 and PW-12 are recorded soon after the incident, at different locations, without any time for family discussion for the purposes of meeting of minds for false implication of the respondents herein or for planting of PW-12 as a fake eyewitness.The ocular accounts are corroborated by medical evidence and police investigation.The defence witnesses do not provide Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 10 of 42 alibis to the respondent Ashok during occurrence of incident.Similarly, no witnesses or evidence has been led to disprove the presence of the respondent Surender at the time and place of incident.Narender suffered a hasty death consequent to the stab injuries and Raj Karan (PW-5) was hospitalized for over 2 weeks and underwent multiple surgeries.A. 731/2007 Page 10 of 42Learned counsel for the complainant adopted the arguments of the State and further submitted that the non-examination of Tara Chand, even if he was present at the site, would not reduce the credibility of the eyewitnesses account.As regards motive, Mr.Choudhury relied upon the judgment of the Supreme Court in State of Rajasthan v. Arjun Singh, reported at (2011) 9 SCC 115 (paragraph 12 and 14) to submit that even in the absence of specific evidence as to motive, the case of the prosecution cannot be disbelieved owing to eyewitness account.Reliance was also placed on Badru Ram v. State of Rajasthan, reported at (2015) 11 SCC 476 (paragraphs 5-7) to submit that eyewitnesses account corroborated by medical evidence and recovery of the weapons are sufficient to convict the accused even if there are minor discrepancies in the ocular account.Controverting the contentions of the State and the complainant, Mr.Hariharan, learned senior counsel for the respondents, submitted that there is no infirmity in the judgment of the Trial Court warranting interference by this Court.The Trial Court has correctly appreciated the evidence before it and acquitted all the respondents.Learned senior counsel submitted that the prosecution was unable to ascribe any motive to the respondents to attack Raj Karan (PW-5).There are numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in the testimony of PW-4, 5 and 12 Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 11 of 42 about the incident of rash driving.PW-4 and PW-5 have deposed differently about the group of persons who went to lodge a complaint to the father of the respondent Sushil.Both have in their statements under Section 161 Cr.P.C. omitted to name each other when the incident of rash driving happened.Balwant Singh (PW-12) has given a completely different account and did not name PW-5 to be present when the respondent Sushil drove the jeep and also deposed that he alongwith his brother Tara Chand had gone to lodge a complaint as opposed to the testimony of PW-5 that he had gone with Balwant Singh (PW-12).Similar statement was made by PW-12 under Section 161 Cr.P.C. Mr.Hariharan further submitted that even if it is believed that Balwant Singh (PW-12) and Tara Chand had gone to lodge a complaint, the same would not supply any motive to the respondent Sushil to call out Raj Karan (PW-5).A. 731/2007 Page 11 of 42Learned senior counsel next contended that the presence of Balwant Singh (PW-12) was rightly doubted by the Trial Court.Though, the prosecution had alleged that he was the only public person to accompany the injured to the Hospital but his name has not been recorded in the MLCs.Even the staff of the PCR Van, whose name figures in the MLCs, has not been examined to corroborate the presence of PW-12 at the spot and in the Hospital.In the MLC of PW-5 Raj Karan (Ex.PW-6/B), it is recorded: ""Alleged h/o fight (being stabbed by someone) as told by one Tara Chand, s/o Sis Ram, r/o village Khera Kalan"".Name of PW-12 is nowhere mentioned.Additionally, it is improbable that PW-12 would accompany the injured persons to the hospital and would not himself give the history of assault, especially when the accused persons were very well known to him.Tara Chand, Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 12 of 42 who could have deposed as to the presence of PW-12, was also not examined by the prosecution.Learned senior counsel contended that the account given by PW-12 is also unbelievable as it is not possible for him to shift two injured persons to the cots and in the process not get his clothes stained with blood.The testimony of PW-4 to the effect that Balwant Singh (PW-12) had accompanied the PCR Van to the hospital also cannot lend any credibility as the same was not mentioned in his statement under Section 161 of Cr.P.C. and PW-4 was duly confronted with the same.The doctor would not give the underwear to Balwant Singh (PW-12) and not seal it in a pullanda especially when the police officers were admittedly present in the Hospital.Further, neither Raj Karan (PW-5) identified the said underwear before the police nor the same was put to him during his testimony in Court; nor he himself deposed anything about his underwear being taken by somebody while he was admitted in the Hospital.It was also submitted that PW-12 himself cannot identify the underwear as the one worn by Raj Karan (PW-5) as he never removed it nor saw him wearing it.He can only identify the underwear as the one handed to the police and he never disclosed the source of the underwear.The fate of the other clothes of PW-5 is also unknown.A. 731/2007 Page 13 of 42 evening waiting for the same to be seized by the police at his instance; second, different accounts have been stated by PW-2, 15 and 16 about the manner in which the police party proceeded, was joined by PW-2 and the time of recovery; and third, as the public witness (PW-2) only deposed that the knife was similar to the one seized and not the same one.As an alternative submission, learned senior counsel contended that even if the recovery is believed, there is nothing to link the same with the offence as the opinion of the doctors was not sought nor the origin of the blood determined by the FSL.Further, out of the two knives used, only one was ever recovered.None of the eyewitnesses ever deposed that the knife changed hands.A. 731/2007 Page 13 of 42The initial DD No.18-A (Mark PW-16/B) records the location as the house of Pradhan Ram Kishan in Khera Kalan.Thereafter, the police was bound to reach the spot and they eventually did reach there.PW-15 deposed to the effect that other police officials also reached there and Ct.Ramesh (PW-10) was left to guard the same and blood was lying there.There is no evidence from the prosecution as to not only the site of the incident changed from there, but also the position of the blood.Hariharan next drew our attention to the Site Plans (Ex.PW-16/B and Ex.PW-16/B) was allegedly made at the pointing of Balwant Singh (PW-12), however, PW-12 nowhere in his entire testimony deposed that the site plan was prepared on his pointing.Further, as per the case of the prosecution two stabbing incidents took place and hence, blood should be found on two spots, but the blood was found only at one spot.The site plan does not show the presence of respondent Surender.Even the Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 14 of 42 scaled site plan (Ex.PW-9/A) does not show the presence of Balwant Singh (PW-12) nor does it show the presence of the respondents Surender and Ashok.It was next contended that the prosecution is also guilty for non-examination of important witnesses as neither Tara Chand nor the PCR officials were ever examined.A. 731/2007 Page 14 of 42It was next contended on behalf of the respondents that there is no explanation for the recording of the statement of the injured witness Raj Karan (PW-5) belatedly after a gap of about 14 days.R.Bhagi (PW-6) had examined both the injured at first in point of time, however, he never made any endorsement on the MLC that the patient was unfit for statement nor deposed before the Trial Court.Even the MLC (Ex.PW- 6/B) records that the patient was fully conscious at the time of admission and his blood pressure is shown as 110/80, therefore, there was no reason for his statement not being recorded at the first instance.On the other hand, though Dr.V.K. Sehdev (PW-8) deposed that he had made an endorsement to the effect that the patient was unfit for statement, but no such endorsement is found on the MLC.The only endorsement made stating that the patient is unfit for statement was made by Dr.Shanti on 02.09.1993 and she was never examined as a witness.Hariharan also pointed out to the contradiction in the testimony of PW-5 wherein he stated to have learnt about the death of his brother Narender while he was unconscious in the Hospital for about 10-15 days.While Balwant Singh (PW-12) negated the version by deposing that PW-5 was unconscious for 2-3 days and thereafter, started talking.PW-12 also deposed that Raj Karan (PW-5) was discharged after about a week and at the time, he could speak and talk.Learned senior counsel submitted that the presence of Om Singh (PW-A. 731/2007 Page 15 of 424) has not been conclusively established by the prosecution.It was contended that his conduct was unnatural as he neither accompanied the deceased and injured (PW-5) to the Hospital nor came forward and approached the police while they reached the spot.Similarly, PW-15 a",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ while they were deposited only on 07.10.1993 and the officer entrusted with the same, i.e. Ct.Jaswant Singh, even on their return, the parcels were sent to the SHO, PS Shalimar Bagh and not SHO, PS Samaypur Badli, who had sent them in the first place.Hariharan contended that as there is no explanation for the same, it would be highly unsafe to rely upon the report of the FSL.It was also contended that the ocular account given by PW-12 and PW-5 is not in consonance with the injuries found during medical examination of the deceased and injured (PW-5).Our attention was also drawn the testimonies of DW-1 and DW-2 to show that the prosecution was never able to establish the presence of respondent Ashok at the site.A. 731/2007 Page 16 of 42 Om Singh has been recorded as 26 years on the date of deposition and thus, would have been atleast 19 years old on the date of the incident and not 13 years as alleged by the State.A. 731/2007 Page 16 of 42In rejoinder, Ms.Kolluru submitted that Om Singh (PW-4) was 13 years of age on the date of the incident and therefore, he did not accompany the deceased and the injured (PW-5) to the Hospital.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties, examined their rival submissions and perused the record.At the outset, it would be necessary to analyse the testimonies of the eyewitnesses account.PW4 Om Singh (brother of PW5 Raj Karan and the deceased) deposed in his examination-in-chief that on 30.08.1993 at about 10 PM, while he was sitting in the inner portion of his house and PW5 Raj Karan, deceased and their uncle Balwant were sitting in the compound of their house.The accused Sushil Kumar called his elder brother Raj Karan whereupon Raj Karan sent the deceased out of the house to see as to who was calling him out.As soon as the deceased went out of the house, the accused Sushil pulled him from his hand and took him out of the house.After watching this, they immediately rushed towards the deceased and saw that the accused Surender caught hold of the deceased from his back and had taken him into his grip whereas the accused Sushil stabbed the deceased with a knife causing injuries to the left portion of his body as well as on the left side of his abdomen.As regards injuries on the person of PW5 Raj Karan, PW4 Om Singh deposed that when PW5 Raj Karan stepped out of their house in order to save his younger brother, the accused Sushil exhorted his elder brother Ashok to stab PW5 Raj Karan and it was thereupon he inflicted knife blows to the hip and stomach of Raj Karan.PW4 cried for help Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 17 of 42 due to which the accused Sushil alongwith his other brothers ran away towards their house.People gathered at the spot.Somebody made a call to the Police.Subsequently, Police reached the spot and took his brother PW5 Raj Karan, the deceased and his uncle Balwant to the hospital and PW4 was left at the spot.A. 731/2007 Page 17 of 42With regard to motive, it was deposed by PW4 Om Singh that about 15-PW5 Raj Karan had lodged a complaint with the father of the accused Sushil who had scolded him.The accused Sushil had also driven his jeep near their house at a very high speed on earlier occasions but at that time they thought that the accused Sushil had done it innocently and had not complained about it.But, when the accused Sushil had done it again, while PW4 Om Singh was standing alongwith his elder brother PW5 Raj Karan, near their house, to which PW5 had a narrow escape, they complained about the said incident to the father of the accused Sushil due to which the accused Sushil threatened to take their lives.The accused Sushil and his elder brothers Surender and Ashok were known to him since childhood as they were residing next to their house.On 30.09.1993, some draftsman visited his house whereupon PW4 pointed out the place of incident to him and the said draftsman took the necessary drafting notes and measurements.In his cross-examination, PW4 Om Singh stated that when he raised alarm at the time of the incident, no person came forward and reached the spot on hearing the noise since it was night time and people in his neighbourhood were inside their houses and watching Television in closed doors.PW4 Om Singh admitted that his uncles Tara Chand and Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 18 of 42 Ram Kishan had reached the spot after the incident and he narrated the entire incident to them.PCR also reached the spot after about half an hour of the incident.PW4 Om Singh further stated that his uncle Tara Chand did not accompany the deceased and Raj Karan when they were removed to the Hospital or gave the alleged history of the incident to the concerned doctor.It was further stated by PW4 that his statement was recorded by the Police on the night of the incident at 1.30/2.00 AM at his house but he did not remember the exact time when local Police met him.A. 731/2007 Page 18 of 42It was further stated by PW4 Om Singh that he had informed the Investigating Officer that the accused Sushil had exhorted his elder brother Ashok to stab PW5 Raj Karan.However, the said fact does not find mention in the statement Ex.PW4/DA, dated 31.08.1993, recorded by the IO.PW4 further stated that he had stated to the Police in his statement that PCR had reached the spot and took his uncle Balwant Singh alongwith his brothers Raj Karan and the deceased.The said fact was also not found mention in his statement Ex.PW4/DA wherein it stands recorded that PCR vehicle had removed his brothers to the hospital and the name of Balwant Singh was not found mention in it.PW4 further stated that the Police officials did not record the factum of Balwant Singh going to the hospital in the company of his brothers because the concerned SHO was favouring the accused persons.PW4 denied that he had subsequently introduced the name of his uncle Balwant as the instant case was registered on the basis of the statement of Balwant Singh.PW4 also denied that his father's elder brother namely Tara Chand had accompanied his brothers to the hospital.It was voluntarily stated that Tara Chand had visited the hospital subsequently.A. 731/2007 Page 19 of 42The house of Tara Chand was situated on the left side of their house.PW4 also stated that house of his uncle Balwant Singh was adjacent to their house and their houses were separated by a wall.The next eyewitness to the incident is PW5 Raj Karan who deposed on the similar lines as deposed by PW4 with regard to the date, time and the manner in which the incident took place on the fateful day.He deposed that at about 4/5.00 PM, while he was standing alongwith his younger brother PW4 Om Singh, the accused Sushil had driven his jeep rashly to which they had a narrow escape.PW5 further submits that he alongwith his uncle PW12 Balwant Singh had gone to the house of the accused Sushil and complained to his father about the said incident who had inturn scolded the accused Sushil.As a result of the complaint, the accused Sushil threatened on the same day that he would kill them for complaining to his father.All the three accused persons were known to him for the last 15/20 years as they were residing in his neighbourhood.A. 731/2007 Page 20 of 42With regard to the motive, he had deposed in his examination-in-chief that 15/20 days prior to 30.08.1993, the accused Sushil had driven his jeep at a high speed in front of his house.The nephew of PW12 namely Om Singh (PW4) saved himself with great difficulty.In the evening, PW12 Balwant Singh alongwith his brother Tara Chand and two-three persons of his village went to the house of the accused Sushil and complained to his father.His father apologised and also warned his son (accused Sushil).The accused Sushil threatened them by saying that he would see them one by one.The testimony of PW12 Balwant Singh is identical to other eyewitnesses including the date, time, place and the manner in which the accused Sushil called his nephew namely PW5 Raj Karan.The role assigned by him to the accused Sushil is that he pulled the deceased outside whereas the other brother of the accused Sushil namely Surender caught hold of the deceased from back.The deceased cried for help as a result of which PW12 alongwith his nephew PW5 Raj Karan reached the spot.The accused Sushil gave knife blows to the deceased on his stomach and his face whereas the other accused Ashok Kumar gave knife injuries on the back, stomach and on the left buttock of PW5 Raj Karan.PCR reached to the spot.PW12 Balwant Singh took both his injured nephews in the PCR to Hindu Rao Hospital.After 20/25 minutes of reaching to the hospital, the deceased succumbed to the injuries.The entire incident was witnessed by him, together with his other two nephews and other persons from the village.PW12 Balwant Singh failed to disclose the names of other persons from his village who had witnessed the incident.The statement of PW12 Balwant Singh was Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 21 of 42 recorded by the Police in the hospital which was proved by him as Ex.PW12/A. On 30.08.1993, PW12 Balwant Singh produced one underwear having blood stains and also having a cut belonging to PW5 Raj Karan before the Police officials which was turned into a parcel and was sealed.The said underwear was subsequently identified by PW12 in the Court.A. 731/2007 Page 21 of 42In his cross-examination, PW12 Balwant Singh stated that none from his neighbourhood came to the place of occurrence and they were standing in front of their respective houses.While injured persons were removed to the cot and then to the PCR van, the clothes of PW12 were not blood stained.It was voluntarily deposed by PW12 Balwant Singh that his hands were stained with blood while removing the injured persons to the PCR.PW12 did not state this fact to the Police in his statement to the Police.PW12 was given the underwear of PW5 Raj Karan while he was operated by the doctors and also other Police officials were present there.PW12 further denied the suggestion that his statement was recorded by the Police on the next date of the incident i.e. 31.08.1993, at about 11.00 AM while he was present at the mortuary.It is noteworthy to mention that PW12 in the latter part of his cross-examination stated that it is correct that PW5 Raj Karan could speak and talk at the time of discharge from the Hindu Rao Hospital.In this backdrop, it would be relevant to discuss the medical evidence in detail.A. 731/2007 Page 22 of 42PW6 R.Bhagi deposed in his examination-in-chief that on 30.08.1993, he was posted as a Casualty Medical Officer and had examined injured persons namely Narender (deceased), aged about 18 years with the alleged history of fight (stabbed by someone as told by his relative) and also examined Raj Karan, aged about 28 years with the alleged history of fighting (stabbed by someone as told by one Tara Chand).His detailed report was proved by him as Ex.PW6/A and Ex.PW6/B respectively.After examination, the injured persons were referred to EMO, Surgery for detailed examination.Reading of MLC of the injured Narender (Ex.PW6/A) would show as under:iv) that he was having incised wound on the left side of his abdomen with omentum protruding coming out of the wound,v) that the injured had expired on 30.08.1993, at 11.45 PM.Reading of MLC of the injured Raj Karan (Ex.PW6/B) would show as under:i) that on 30.08.1993, at 11.20 PM, he was brought by HC Vijender Singh (PCR R-87) to Hindu Rao Hospital;A. 731/2007 Page 23 of 42ii) that the injured was having alleged history of fight (being stabbed by someone) as told by one Sh.Tarachand s/o Sis Ram r/o Village Khera Kalan;midline, right side of the abdomen and also on the posterior side of left thigh (below hip joint);v) undated endorsement made by Dr. V. K. Sehdev (Santom Hospital) declaring him as medically unfit for the statement,vi) that on 02.09.1993, at about 11.45 AM, he was declared medically fit for the statement by Dr. R.Shanti.Testimony of PW8 Dr. V. K. Sehdev assumes importance in the background that he gave endorsement on the MLC of PW5 Raj Karan (Ex.PW6/B) and declared him medically unfit for the statement.He deposed in his examination-in-chief that in the year 1993, he was serving as a Consultant Surgeon in Santom Hospital, Prashant Vihar.On that day, injured Raj Karan was brought to their Hospital from Hindu Rao Hospital on reference.He further deposed that after examination of the injured Raj Karan, he gave endorsement on Ex.PW6/B and declared that the said injured was unfit to make the statement.PW7 Dr. Ashok Jaiswal conducted post-mortem examination on the body of the deceased Narender and deposed in his examination-in-chief that on 31.08.1993, he was working as a Senior Medical Officer at Sabzi Mandi Mortuary where he examined an 18 years old person namely Narender with alleged history of stab injuries.The following external injuries were found on the body of the deceased:A. 731/2007 Page 24 of 42omentum seen coming out of the wound (total depth of the wound from surface was found to be 10 cm);PW7 Dr. Ashok Jaiswal further deposed that injuries No. 1 and 2 were caused by sharp edged weapon and injuries No. 3, 4 and 5 were caused by fall/friction against hard surface.The cause of death was opined as haemorrhagic shock consequent to the injuries on the abdominal viscera.Time since death was stated about 14 hours.The detailed report was proved by him as Ex.PW7/A. In his cross-examination, it was admitted by him that weapon of offence was never shown to him and the opinion with regard to the use of such weapon in the alleged offence was never sought.Reading of the testimony of PW8 Dr.V.K. Sehdev shows that he had not deposed in his examination-in-chief the date and time on which injured PW5 Raj Karan was brought to Santom Hospital and was declared as medically unfit for the statement which is evident upon reading the sentence 'on that date' emerged in his evidence in Court.Since, various contentions have been raised by the parties; we deem it appropriate to deal with them under separate heads.The case of the prosecution is that about 15-20 days prior to the incident, while Om Singh (PW-4) was present in front of his house, the respondent Sushil drove his jeep at a fast speed leading to PW-4 having Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 25 of 42 a narrow escape.The injured witness (PW-5) deposed that about 10-15 days prior to the incident, at about 4-5 PM, when the witness was standing near his house with Om Singh (PW-4), the respondent Sushil came driving a jeep at high speeds and the witness and PW-4 had a narrow escape.Thereafter, PW-5 and his chacha Balwant had gone to the house of the respondent Sushil and complained against him to his father Randhir Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 26 of 42 Singh.The respondent Sushil had threatened the witness on the same day stating that he will kill them for complaining to his father.A. 731/2007 Page 26 of 42Balwant Singh (PW-12) deposed that about 15-20 days prior to 30.08.1993, the respondent Sushil had driven his jeep at a high speed in front of their house.His nephew Om Singh (PW-4) saved himself from the incoming jeep with great difficulty.In the evening, PW-12 with his brother Tara Chand alongwith 2-3 persons of their village went to the house of Randhir Singh and informed about the incident.Then Randhir Singh apologized and warned his son.However, respondent Sushil threatened that he will see them one by one.The witnesses remain consistent to the extent that about 15-20 days prior to 30.08.1993, an incident took place when respondent Sushil drove his jeep and drove past Om Singh at high speed.Thereafter, the party informed the father of respondent Sushil which led to him being reprimanded and in turn respondent Sushil extending threat to deal with them one by one.However, the witnesses have been inconsistent on numerous material aspects as neither the victims of the first incident can be clearly identified nor the members of the party who went to lodge the complaint with the father antagonizing the respondent Sushil.Further, even the testimony of PW-4 and PW-5 are at odds to the extent that they depose differently about whether PW-4 only narrowly escaped the jeep or both of them.Thereafter, there is no consistency regarding the party who went to the house of respondent Sushil to protest against his behaviour.As per Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 27 of 42 PW-4, he and Raj Karan (PW-5) had gone; as per PW-5, he and Balwant Singh (PW-12) had protested; while as per the account of PW- 12, he alongwith his brother Tara Chand had gone to lodge a complaint.Both PW-4 and PW-12 have been categoric to the extent that Raj Karan (PW-5) was not the person who had a narrow escape from the speeding jeep.As to who protested about the behaviour to the father of the respondent Sushil also remains unclear.Kolluru that the complaint being lodged by anyone would have been at the instance of PW-4 and PW-5 only, however, as the victim of the speeding jeep was Om Singh (PW-4) and not PW-5, whose presence at the incident is doubtful.The circumstance established ascribes no motive to the respondent Sushil against Raj Karan and thus, running contrary to the case of the prosecution that Raj Karan (PW-5) was first called out by respondent Sushil.Further, nothing has been produced by the prosecution to show any motive for attacking and killing Narender (since deceased).DELAY IN RECORDING OF STATEMENT OF PW-5 RAJ KARAN:A. 731/2007 Page 27 of 42The Trial Court has returned a finding that there was delay in recording of the statement of Raj Karan (PW-5) by the Investigating Officer and during his admission in Hindu Rao Hospital opened the scope of his tutoring and raised doubt over the statement (Ex.PW-12/A) of Balwant Singh (PW-12).Kolluru and Mr.Chaudhary have assailed the finding on the grounds that as the names of all the accused persons have been stated in the rukka (Ex.PW-12/A) prepared at 12:50 AM on the intervening night, merely 1 hour after the death of the deceased which was at around 11.45 PM; and the delay was occasioned as though PW-5 Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 28 of 42 Raj Karan was conscious, he was not oriented while being admitted in the Hospital and was unfit to make a statement.A. 731/2007 Page 28 of 42A cumulative reading of the MLC's of the deceased Narender and PW5 Raj Karan would show that in the column of name of relative or friend accompanying the injured, name of HC Vijender Singh of PCR stands recorded.It shows that both these injured were brought to Hindu Rao Hospital by HC Vijender Singh of PCR on 30.08.1993 at about 11.20 PM.It nullifies the statement made by PW-12 that he was the only public witness who had accompanied the injured persons to the Hospital.Had PW-12 accompanied the injured persons to the Hospital, he would have given the alleged history to the attending doctor and his name would have been mentioned in both the MLCs.Thus, we find merit in the contention raised by the counsel for the respondents that it is improbable that PW-12 had accompanied the injured persons to the hospital, but did not give alleged history of the incident to the attending doctor especially when the accused persons were well known to him.On the contrary, the name of one Tara Chand son of Sis Ram has been mentioned in the MLC of PW-5 Raj Karan who gave alleged history to the attending doctor as PW-5 having been stabbed by 'someone'.We have not found the name of PW-12 Balwant Singh in any MLC.Interestingly, both the witnesses namely HC Vijender Singh and Tara Chand were not examined by the prosecution who could have been a possible link to unfold the case of the prosecution.There is nothing on record to suggest if the Investigating Officer recorded statement of HC Vijender Singh of PCR.In his cross-examination, PW16-Inspector Harshvardhan stated that house of Tara Chand was situated adjacent to the house of the injured persons.PW-16 displayed ignorance about Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 29 of 42 relationship of Tara Chand with the injured, but stated to have interrogated Tara Chand.A. 731/2007 Page 29 of 42Moreover, a careful reading of the MLCs would further show that the deceased Narender was semi conscious and gasping at the time he was brought to the hospital and died at about 11.45 PM, on the fateful night.However, Raj Karan was fully conscious despite having three incised wounds on his person at the time of his admission in the hospital.PW6/B) would also show that he was not declared unfit to make statement at any point of time.It is noteworthy to mention that Ex.PW6/B is silent with regard to the date and time of the endorsement made by PW8 declaring PW5 as unfit for making a statement.The evidence of PW12 is further belied by this fact that though he had removed both the injured persons to the cots and then to the Hospital, despite this his clothes were not stained with blood which is absolutely Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 30 of 42 unbelievable considering deceased had suffered two stab wounds and PW5 Raj Karan suffered two stab wounds.A. 731/2007 Page 30 of 42RECOVERY OF BLOOD STAINED KNIFE:The total length of the knife was 11 inch and its blade was found blood stained.A. 731/2007 Page 32 of 42A careful reading of the evidence of PW2, PW15 and PW16 would show that the testimony of PW2 Kartar Singh is silent on various aspects including as to whether the said knife was recovered at the instance of the respondent Sushil from any hidden place or it was found lying in an open place.PW15 Const.Satanand also deposed that PW2 Kartar Singh, a resident of the same village had also come to the Railway Station who had attested the recovery memo, however, in his cross-examination, he has stated that pursuant to the secret information received, firstly they had gone to the village Khera Kalan and then PW2 Kartar Singh was taken along from the village.Thus, there is no consistency in the evidence of PW2, PW15 and PW16 and we find there are contradictions favouring the respondents.The linkage could also be established through lifting of finger prints from the handle of the knife or the blood found on the knife.It is evident from Ex.PW16/F that the blood found on the knife was insufficient for determination of origin.As soon as the deceased went out, the accused Sushil pulled him from his hand and Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 33 of 42 took him out of the house.After watching this, as per Om Singh (PW4), they immediately rushed towards the deceased and saw that the accused Surender caught hold of the deceased from his back and had taken him into his grip whereas the accused Sushil stabbed the deceased with a knife.As per the evidence of PW-4, accused Sushil exhorted his elder brother Ashok to stab PW-5 Raj Karan and it was thereafter he inflicted knife blows to the hip and stomach of Raj Karan.PW-4 has also deposed that the accused Sushil along with his brothers ran away.A. 731/2007 Page 33 of 42On a careful analysis of the testimony of PW-4 Om Singh who claims to be present at the spot would show that PW-4 Om Singh, his brother Raj Karan (PW-5), deceased Narender and their uncle Balwant (PW-12) were present at their house.Out of the three accused, one called out for Raj Karan (PW-5), however Raj Karan sent Narender to find out as to who was calling.This evidence would establish that there were three accused persons and four persons from the family.No doubt rukka named all the three accused persons and it is claimed to have been sent within one hour of the incident.On this aspect, the following questions remain unanswered.Firstly, as to who accompanied the injured persons to the Hospital.As per the evidence of Balwant Singh (PW-12), he took both the injured persons in the PCR to the Hindu Rao Hospital.However, PW-12 has claimed that there was no blood on his clothes.It is completely unbelievable that Balwant Singh removed the two injured persons with multiple stab wounds and one of the injured died within 15-20 minutes of the incident and there was no spot of blood on his clothes.This aspect gains importance for the reason that even in the MLC there is no Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 34 of 42 mention that the injured was brought to the Hospital by Balwant Singh.This aspect gains further importance with the fact that as per MLC, injured was brought to the Hospital by one Tara Chand.There is no explanation as to why Tara Chand was not examined as the evidence of Tara Chand would have been extremely important to establish presence of Balwant Singh at the Hospital or at the place of the incident.Accordingly, the evidence of Balwant Singh is unreliable.A. 731/2007 Page 34 of 42The other eye witness Om Singh (PW-4), brother of the deceased as well as brother of the injured, also claims to be an eye witness.There is no evidence to show that Om Singh made any attempt to save his brothers or whether he helped his uncle in removing the injured persons in the PCR van or whether he accompanied his injured brothers to the Hospital.There is also no evidence to show that Om Singh (PW-4) claimed that he became so scared that he hid himself.It has also come in cross-examination of PW-4 Om Singh that his Tau Tara Chand did not accompany his injured brothers Narender and Raj Karan to the Hospital on the night of the incident.He further stated that Police had reached the spot and took his brothers Raj Karan, Narender along with uncle Balwant to the Hospital, however, he remained at the spot.We find this in stark contradiction to the fact that as per the MLC, the history was given by one Tara Chand.In the absence of these questions not being answered, even the presence of Om Singh becomes suspicious.We are conscious of the fact that the evidence of injured witness is placed at a highest level.The presence of the injured witness would be established by the injuries sustained by him, however, there is absolutely no explanation as to why the statement of PW-5 Raj Karan Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 35 of 42 was recorded after 14 days and after he was removed from Hindu Rao Hospital to Santom Hospital.While MLC of Raj Karan (Ex.PW6/B) shows that the injured was brought to the Hospital on 30.08.1993 at 11:20 PM by HC Vijender Singh with alleged history of fight (being stabbed by someone) as told by one Sh.Tarachand s/o Sis Ram r/o Village Khera Kalan.He was fully conscious and his blood pressure was recordable.This MLC nowhere records that the injured was unfit for making a statement.Although, as per the testimony of PW16 Harsh Vardhan (Investigating Officer), who had testified that he visited the Hospital on 3-4 occasions, but Raj Karan was not found fit for the statement but this is not borne out from the record.The delay of 14 days in recording the statement of the injured witness PW-5 Raj Karan is also fatal to the case of the prosecution.From the MLC (Ex.PW6/B), it stands established that the injured persons were brought to the Hospital by Vijender Singh with alleged history of fight.There is nothing on record to suggest that Investigating Officer had recorded the statement of HC Vijender Singh of the PCR.There is also no evidence on record to show as to whether Tara Chand was anywhere related to the injured/deceased persons.We may also note that the MLC of Raj Karan (Ex.PW6/B) contains only two endorsements to the effect that PW-5 Raj Karan was declared unfit to make a statement on 02.09.1993 and another undated endorsement by PW-8 Dr. V.K. Sehdev of Santom Hospital where Raj Karan received the treatment after leaving the Hindu Rao Hospital.A. 731/2007 Page 35 of 42We find this also to be very strange in the light of the testimony of PW-16 (IO) who has deposed that he went to Hindu Rao Hospital 3-4 times for recording of statement of the injured but found him unfit.We Crl.A. 731/2007 Page 36 of 42 also find this to be highly unusual that a simple statement has been made by the IO that he visited the hospital 3-4 times for recording of the statement of PW5 but found him unfit while there are only two endorsements on the MLC, one of Hindu Rao Hospital and another undated by Dr. V.K. Sehdev of Santom Hospital.In this backdrop, it would be relevant to analyse the testimonies of all the three eyewitnesses.A. 731/2007 Page 39 of 42As far as the respondents Ashok and Surender are concerned," it would be necessary to analyse the evidence of Investigating Officer i.e. PW16 Harsh Vardhan who stated in his cross-examination that he had enquired from the persons living in houses near the spot after having come to know that the accused Sushil had inflicted injuries.""","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"According to the prosecution, on 17.8.1999, there was a wordy quarrel between P.W.1 to P.W.3 and the deceased ofM.S. Nagar and A1 to A7 of Mangalapuram, while playing carrom in 7th Street, Mangalapuram, Chetpet, with respect to which, a complaint was lodged by one Surendran in the Chetpet Police Station.Again, on 18.8.1999, there was a quarrel between both the parties at Ambedkar ground, Chetpet and a complaint was lodged by one Manimaran.In view of the above, there was an enmity between both the parties.Apprehending danger to their lives at the hands of A7, who is a big rowdy, P.Ws.1, 2 and the deceased stayed in the house of P.W.3 at T.P. Chathiram.On 29.8.1999, at about 10.15 pm, when P.Ws.1 to 3 and the deceased went to Indian Wines shop at Shenoy Nagar to purchase brandy, A1 to A4 along with two unknown persons, armed with patta knives, came in two autorickshaws.On seeing them, P.Ws.1 to 3 and the deceased tried to escape from the place.But, A1 to A4 and the two unknown persons, surrounded P.Ws.1 to 3 and the deceased.2.4.

Chatram, at the instance of A7, attacked the deceased Udhaya @ Udhayaprakash and caused his death.It is also the case of the prosecution that A1 to A6 attacked P.Ws.1 to 5 and caused injuries to them.It is not in dispute that there were two groups of rowdy elements, one led by A7 and the other led by the deceased Udhaya @ Udhayaprakash and there was prior enmity between the two groups in playing carrom.JUDGMENT P.D. Dinakaran, J.The appeal is directed against the judgment dated 30.12.2003 made in Sessions Case No. 205 of 2003 on the file of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No. II), Chennai, whereunder the appellants herein were tried along with three other accused namely A5 to A7 therein and convicted and sentenced as mentioned below.A1 to A6 were charged for the offence punishable under Sections 120(B), 147, 148, 324, 326, 307 and 302 IPC and A7 was charged for the offence punishable under Section 120(B) IPC, in connection with the occurrence said to have taken place at about 10.15 p.m. on 29.8.1999 in front of Indian Wines shop at Link Road, within the jurisdiction of respondent Police Station, Chennai, for having said to have murdered one Udaya @ Udayaprakash.Based on the said statement, Ex.P1, a First Information Report, Ex.A1 hurled a bottle on the road.Thereafter, they ran away from the scene of occurrence.2.6. P.W.1 gave a statement, Ex.F.I.R. was registered on 29.8.1999 at about 11.45 pm on the file of K6, T.P. Chatiram Police Station, which was marked as Ex.The investigating officer, P.W.21, on the basis of the F.I.R., Ex.P23, undertook the investigation, visited the place of occurrence in the early hours of 30.8.1999, prepared an Observation Mahazar, Ex.P24 and a Rough Sketch, Ex.The blood stained dresses, MO7 to MO16, worn by P.Ws.1 to 4 and the deceased were seized under Mahazar Exs.Two petrol bombs, MO2 and six blood stained patta knives, MO1 and MO22 series were seized from the house of A7 under Mahazar, Ex.Two autorickshaws, MO5 and MO6, in which the accused came to the scene of occurence were seized under Mahazar, Ex.2.8. P.W.8 is the Doctor who examined P.Ws.1, 2 and the deceased and issued Accident Register Extracts, Exs.P6, P4 and P5 respectively.P.W.6 is the Doctor who examined P.W.3 and issued wound certificate, Ex.P2 stating that the injuries are grievous in nature.P.W.7 is the Doctor who examined P.W.4 and issued wound certificate, Ex.P3 stating that the injuries sustained by P.W.4 are simple.P.W.9 is the Doctor, who conducted post mortem at 12.45 pm on 30.8.1999 and found 10 external injuries, as certified in the Post Mortem Certificate, Ex.P9, opined that the deceased would have died due to multiple injuries.On 3.9.1999, the material objects were forwarded for chemical analysis through the Court and chemical analyst's report is Ex.Serologist's report is Ex.Since the accused denied the charges framed against them, they were tried in Sessions Case No. 205 of 2003 before the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No. II), Chennai.On behalf of the prosecution, 23 witnesses were examined as P.Ws.1 to 23 and marked Exs.P.Ws.1 to 5 are injured eye witnesses.3.2. P.W.1 speaks about the presence of all the accused and overt acts on himself, P.Ws.2, 3 and the deceased, attributed to A1, A2, A3; P.W.2 also speaks about the presence of all the accused and the overt acts of A1 and A2; P.W.3 though speaks about the incident, did not specify the names of the accused; P.W.4 speaks about the incident, but mentions the scene of occurrence at different place; even though P.W.5 speaks about the incident, his evidence was disbelieved by the trial Court.When the accused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found against them in the evidence of prosecution witnesses, they denied the same.The accused have neither examined any witness, nor marked any document on their behalf.The learned Additional District and Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No. II), Chennai, after appreciating the evidence on record and finding that only A1 to A4 were present in the scene of occurrence, acquitted A7 of the charge under Section 120B and A5 and A6 of the charges under Sections 120(B), 147, 148, 324, 326, 307 and 302 IPC and convicted (i) A1 for the offence punishable under Sections 324, 326 (2 counts) and 302 IPC and sentenced him to undergo imprisonment for 3 years and 7 years, with a fine of Rs. 2,000/- (on each count), in default, to undergo three months imprisonment on each count and imprisonment for life with a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, in default, to undergo imprisonment for six months respectively; (ii) A2 under Sections 326 and 302 IPC and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years with a fine of Rs. 2,000/-, in default, imprisonment for three months and imprisonment for life with a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, in default, to undergo imprisonment for six months respectively; (iii) A3 under Sections 326 and 302 IPC and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years with a fine of Rs. 2,000/-, in default, imprisonment for three months and imprisonment for life with a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, in default, to undergo imprisonment for six months respectively; and (iv) A4 under Section 302, IPC and sentenced to imprisonment for life with a fine of Rs. Rs. 5,000/-, in default, to undergo imprisonment for six months.Hence, the above appeal.Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the accused took us to the whole evidence and contended that the prosecution had not been able to establish that it was A1 to A4 who committed the murder of the deceased Udhaya @ Udhayaprakash.According to him, when the benefit of doubt is extended to A5 and A6, the same benefit should be extended to other accused also (appellants).He has submitted that the circumstances emerging out of the evidence were too insignificant to connect the accused with other offences under which A1 to A3 were convicted.The evidence of P.Ws.1, 2 and 5 that there was a wordy quarrel between the accused party and the witness party in playing carrom remain unshaken.Now, coming to the conviction of the accused, the trial Court convicted A1 under Sections 324, 326 (2 counts) and 302 IPC, A2 and A3 under Sections 326 and 302 IPC, A4 under Section 302 IPC.The prosecution rested on the evidence of P.W.1, P.W.2 and P.W.5, injured witnesses.Though P.Ws.3 and 4 are alleged to have sustained injuries in the occurrence and medical evidence also corroborated the same, yet, they have not specified the overt acts attributed to each of the accused and hence, their evidence are not helpful.P.W.8 doctor treated the deceased Udhaya @ Udhayaprakash who was brought to the hospital for the injuries allegedly sustained by the attack made by six known persons.P.W.8 found the deceased unconscious.He also found cut injuries on his right knee, left forehead, left thigh and left wrist.He also found cut injuries on his head, right thigh and left knee.For the said injuries on the deceased, he issued Ex.P5, accident register extract.P.W.9, doctor who conducted autopsy over the dead body of the deceased, found ten external injuries almost all over the body.Most of them are cut injuries.P.W.9 opined that the deceased would appear to have died due to the injuries sustained by him.It is therefore evident from the deposition of P.Ws.8 and 9 that the deceased Udhaya @ Udhayaprakash was indiscriminately attacked by more than one person and due to the injuries sustained by him, he died, in spite of the treatment given to him.Next, we have to examine whether A1 to A6 are the persons who attacked the deceased and they are responsible for the death of the deceased.In the complaint, Ex.P1 given by P.W.1, it is stated that A1 to A4, along with other two unknown persons armed with knives, came in two autorickshaws and attacked P.Ws.1 to 3 and the deceased, from which, it is evident that P.Ws.1 to 3 were present at the time of occurrence.Though P.W.5 claimed that he saw A1 to A6 armed with knives boarding autorickshaws and that he witnessed the occurrence, in the first information report, Ex.P1 there is no mention about the presence of P.W.5 in the scene of occurrence.Further, though P.W.5, in his chief examination, has stated that he heard the accused party saying that only after the death of Udhaya (deceased), the Chetpet area would be secured, in his cross-examination he has stated that he did not inform the same either to the police, or to the public or to the persons who were present at P.W.3's house when he immediately visited there.P.W.1, in his evidence, has stated that A2 cut the deceased on his right knee, whereas P.W.2 has deposed that A1 to A6 cut the deceased indiscriminately.Even though in Ex.P1 complaint, the names of A1 to A4 are found mentioned, P.W.1 has given evidence specifying the name of A2 stating that A2 cut the deceased.P.W.2 in his evidence has only stated that A1 to A6 cut the deceased indiscriminately and his evidence does not specifically attribute the overt acts to a particular accused.The trial Court based on Ex.P1 wherein the names of A1 to A4 were mentioned and the evidence of P.W.22 doctor who has stated that P.W.2 informed him that he was attacked by four known persons, convicted A1 to A4 under Section 302 IPC for the death of deceased Udhaya @ Udhayaprakash.But, the approach of trial Court is not appreciable, as, except P.Ws.1 and 2, there is no other witness to speak about the attack on the deceased.Among the two, P.W.1, in his chief examination, has specifically implicated A2 in the attack on the deceased, but in cross-examination he has stated that A1 to A6 indiscriminately cut the deceased.As already noticed, it is the evidence of P.W.2 that A1 to A6 indiscriminately attacked the deceased.Therefore, when there is no evidence roping in a particular accused in the attack on the deceased, it is not safe to convict A1 to A4 also under Section A href=""javascript:fnOpenGlobalPopUp('/ba/disp.asp','16125','1');"">302 IPC for the death of the deceased.It is pertinent to note that the trial Court discharged A5 and A6 from the charge of murder giving the benefit of doubt on the basis that their names were not mentioned in Ex.P1, complaint and that the prosecution witnesses have not stated that A5 and A6 attacked the deceased.We find substance in the submission of learned Counsel for the appellants that when the trial Court extended the benefit of doubt to A5 and A6, the same benefit should also be extended to other accused.It is a settled proposition in criminal jurisprudence that eye-witnesses having been disbelieved partly, resulting in acquittal of the co-accused, it would not be safe to believe them qua other accused and other accused are also entitled to the benefit of doubt and acquittal [vide: Lakkappa Ningappa Ittappannavar v. State of Karnataka 1993 Supp (2) SCC 755].In the instant case, there is no cogent and convincing evidence by any of the prosecution witnesses specifically attributing the overt acts to each of the accused.Under such circumstances, we hold that A1 to A4 are also entitled to the benefit of reasonable doubt in respect of the murder of the deceased and accordingly, they are discharged from the charge under Section A href=""javascript:fnOpenGlobalPopUp('/ba/disp.asp','16125','1');"">302 IPC.The trial Court recorded its finding on the basis of the evidence of P.Ws.1 to 3, injured witnesses.P.W.1, in his evidence, has stated that A1 cut him on his left leg.P.W.8 doctor, who examined P.W.1, found an incised wound, 5 x 2 cm.in size on his left ankle.It is his evidence that bones were found protruding.P.W.10 doctor, who treated P.W.1, in his evidence, has stated that there was a fracture on his left leg and issued Ex.P11 wound certificate opining that it was a grievous injury.The above facts would reveal that A1 had inflicted a grievous injury on P.W.1 explicitly implicating him for the offence under Section 326 IPC.It is the prosecution case that P.W.3 sustained injuries on his hands and head.Though P.W.3 in his evidence has stated that he was attacked by a mob, the evidence of P.W.1 is clear that A1 cut P.W.3 on his left thumb.The above statement is corroborated with the evidence of the doctor P.W.6 who deposed that he did not find the left thumb of P.W.3, at the time of examination.According to the medical evidence the above injury is grievous in nature.Further, the severed thumb was seized under mahazar, Ex.So far as P.W.3 is concerned, it is the case of the prosecution that A3 also inflicted injury on him.As already observed, P.W.3 has not stated anything as to who had inflicted injury on him, but from the evidence of P.W.3 it is deducible that he sustained injuries on his hands and head.The doctor P.W.6, who examined P.W.3, found injury on his right hand and opined that the said injury is grievous in nature.However, learned Counsel appearing for the appellants contended that P.W.3 in his evidence has not stated as to who attacked him and though the other injured witnesses P.Ws.1 and 2 have attributed specific overt acts in respect of injuries on P.Ws.1 to 3 to A1 to A3, in the absence of corroboration by P.W.3, it is not safe to convict A1 to A3 for the offence under Section 326 IPC.We are unable to accept the above contention, because, it would be practically impossible for any injured witness to exactly notice and memorise which accused was causing injuries on him and if any such statement is made, it may amount to an exaggeration because when a number of assailants are there, injuries are not inflicted in a manner which could be exactly noted by the witnesses [vide: State of Rajasthan v. Major Singh ].But, P.W.2 has only stated that A1 caused injury on his left leg.P6 and Ex.P11 are also silent as to the injury on the left wrist.As a result of the above discussion, we hold that the prosecution has only proved the guilt of A1 to A3 for the offence under Section 326 IPC as follows:(i) 1st accused ... under Section 326 IPC (2 counts)(ii) 2nd accused ... under Section 326 IPC(iii) 3rd accused ... under Section 326 IPC However, the prosecution has miserably failed to prove the guilt of A1 to A4 under Section 302 IPC and the guilt of A1 under Section 324 IPC.In the result, the conviction and sentence in respect of A4 under Section 302 IPC, as recorded by the trial Court, are set aside; and the conviction and sentence of imprisonment alone in respect of A1 to A3 under Section 302 IPC and that of A1 under Section 324 IPC are also set aside.The conviction in respect of A1 to A3 under Section 326 IPC, as stated above, are confirmed, however, considering the circumstances placed before us, A1 to A3 are each sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for four (4) years, instead of seven years as awarded by the trial Court plus the fine amount as ordered by the trial Court.The fine amount imposed as against A1 to A3 under Section 302 IPC shall be treated as fine amount under Section 326 IPC, in addition to the fine already imposed.The sentence against A1 for two counts under Section 326 IPC shall run concurrently.The period already undergone by A1 to A3 is ordered to be set off.The bail bond, if any, executed by A4 shall stand cancelled.Out of the fine amount imposed on the A1 to A3 under Section 326 IPC, including the one originally imposed under Section 302 IPC and subsequently treated as fine under Section 326 IPC, a sum of Rs. 10,000/- shall be paid to P.W.1 as compensation.Accordingly, the appeal is partly allowed.","['Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"ORDER Sadasivam, J.Petitioner Raju alias Edly Rajoo has been convicted under Section 379 read with Section 75, Indian Penal Code and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for six months.According to him, the petitioner would have a right of appeal if he had been convicted and sentenced to six months' rigorous imprisonment in the mofussil.There are separate Civil and Criminal Courts in the City of Madras with separate jurisdiction and they differ widely from the Civil and Criminal Courts in the mofussil.The reasons for the difference could be understood only by a person having knowledge of legal history.Such difference may be justified as one of reasonable classification based on geographical division.It should be noted that the petitioner would have been tried by a Second Class Magistrate in the mofussil, but he was tried in the City by a Presidency Magistrate who should at least be of the cadre of Sub-Divisional Magistrate.In fact, in this case the petitioner was tried by the Third Presidency Magistrate who was a District Magistrate before he came as the Third Presidency Magistrate.On the facts of the case, there can be little doubt about the guilt of the petitioner.P.W. 1, Krishnamoorthy is a Junior Engineer.he travelled in a bus with five-ten rupee notes and one one-rupee note in his left shirt pocket.He suspected the movements of the petitioner who constantly came near him.When he got down from the bus, he found his money missing.He saw the petitioner running and gave him a chase but was unable to catch him.At 7-30 p.m. on 7th April, 1961 itself, the petitioner was caught by the Police when he was creating disturbance in a drunken mood.A sum of Rs. 48 in currency notes was recovered from him.P.W. 1 was sent for, and he went to the Police Station and identified the petitioner as the person whom he chased that evening.The learned Third Presidency Magistrate has disbelieved the evidence of the defence witnesses, and no argument was advanced in respect of the same.Thus, the evidence of P.W. 1, and the recovery of the note, M.O. 1 clearly prove the guilt of the petitioner beyond any reasonable doubt.",['Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(a) P.W.1 is a resident of Pudukottai Village.All the accused belonged to the same place.His brother Theoplus, the first deceased (D1) and one Jayaprakash, the second deceased (D2) also belonged to the same place.A-1 was carrying on the illicit arrack business in which all the other accused were employed under him.A few days prior to the occurrence, when D1 and D2 along with others went over there for the sale of illicit arrack, there was a quarrel between them, and at that time, they were warned by A-1 and others not to sell so.(b) On 26.5.2002 the date of occurrence, both the D1 and D2 along with one Albert went over there.At that time, when they were about to sell the illicit arrack, it was objected to by the accused party, and when the same was also questioned by both the deceased whether they could alone do.At that time, P.Ws.3 and 4 also came over there to get arrack from the deceased.This was witnessed by P.Ws.1 to 3 and both the persons died at the spot instantaneously.The accused persons along with the aruvals ran away from the place of occurrence.(c) P.W.1 proceeded to the respondent police station where P.W.13 was the Sub Inspector of Police.At about 8.00 P.M., he gave Ex.P1 complaint, on the strength of which a case came to be registered in Crime No.299 of 2002 under Sections 147, 148, 341 and 302 of IPC and the printed FIR Ex.P9 along with the report, Ex.P1, was despatched to the Court.(d) P.W.14, the Inspector of Police, on intimation from the Sub Inspector of Police, took up investigation, proceeded to the spot, made an inspection and prepared an observation mahazar, Ex.P2, and also a rough sketch, Ex.P.W.10, the Photographer, was called to take photographs of the place of occurrence and also the dead body which were also photographed, and accordingly they were marked as M.O.6 series.Then he conducted inquest on the dead body of D1 in the presence of witnesses and panchayatdars and prepared an inquest report, Ex.Thereafter on the dead body of D2, he conducted inquest and prepared an inquest report, Ex.Then both the dead bodies were sent to the Government Hospital for the purpose of autopsy.(e) P.W.11, the Doctor, attached to the Government Hospital conducted autopsy on the dead body of Theoplus and has given his opinion in the postmortem certificate, Ex.P7, that he died due to shock and haemorrhage due to injuries sustained.(f) Equally, the dead body of Jayaprakash was subjected to postmortem by P.W.12, the Doctor.The Doctor has also given opinion in the postmortem certificate, Ex.P8, that the deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhage due to the injuries sustained.(g) Pending the investigation, the Investigator came to know that A-2, A-4, A-5 and A-6 surrendered before the Judicial Magistrate, Lalgudi, and an application was taken before the Court for police custody.He came forward to give a confessional statement.The same was recorded in the presence of witnesses.The admissible part is marked as Ex.P6 pursuant to which he produced six aruvals which were marked as M.O.1 series.Then A-1 was sent for judicial remand.(i) Pending investigation, A-3 also surrendered before the Court.Then he was taken to police custody.He gave a confessional statement.The same was recorded, and he was sent for judicial remand.(Judgment of the Court was delivered by M.CHOCKALINGAM, J.) This appeal challenges a judgment of the Principal Sessions Division, Perambalur, made in S.C.No.67 of 2007 whereby the appellants ranked as A-1 to A-4 and A-6 respectively, along with another ranked as A-2, stood charged, tried and found guilty as follows:ACCUSEDCHARGESFINDINGPUNISHMENTA-1 to A-6147 IPCGuilty under Sec.148 IPC1 years Rigorous ImprisonmentA-1 to A-6341 IPCGuilty1 month Simple

follows:Accordingly, police custody was ordered.During the police custody, their statements were recorded, and they were sent for judicial remand.(h) On 15.6.2002, A-1 was arrested by the Investigator.(j) The further investigation, pursuant to the directions given by the Superintendent of Police, was taken up by P.W.15, the Inspector of Police.He enquired the other witnesses and recorded their statements.All the material objects were sent for analysis.The reports were received and placed before the Court.On completion of investigation, the Investigating Officer filed the final report.3.The case was committed to Court of Sessions, and necessary charges were framed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 15 witnesses and also relied on 15 exhibits and 12 material objects.On completion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused were questioned under Sec.313 of Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses which they flatly denied as false.One witness was examined on the side of the defence shown as D.W.1, and also one document was marked on their side.The trial Court heard the arguments advanced on either side and took the view that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and hence found them guilty and awarded the punishment as referred to above.Hence this appeal at the instance of the appellants.4.Advancing arguments on behalf of A-1, the learned Senior Counsel Mr.P1 is the first information given to the police; and that apart from that, in the instant case, though five witnesses were examined as eyewitnesses, they are all either related or intimated to each other.5.Added further the learned Senior Counsel that the charge framed against the accused is that A-1, A-3 and A-5 attacked D1 and A-2 and A-4 attacked D2; but, the evidence that was adduced before the Court has got all discrepancies possible; that as regards P.W.1, he has turned hostile and hence his evidence was not useful to the prosecution; that as far as P.W.2 was concerned, he has stated that D1 was attacked by A-1, A-3 and A-5, and D2 was attacked by A-2 and A-4; but, he does not implicate A-6 or does not mention any overt act in respect of A-6; that as far as P.W.3 is concerned, he has stated that A-1 has cut D1, and he has not spoken anything about any other accused or the overt acts which are attributed to any one of the accused; that as far as A-2 was concerned, P.W.4 has stated that A-1, A-3 and A-5 cut D1, and as far as D2 is concerned, he has stated only A-4, but not implicated A-2; that as far as P.W.5's evidence is concerned, he has stated that D1 was cut by A-5 and he has not implicated the other two accused; that as far as D2 is concerned, according to him, it was done by A-2, and he has not spoken anything about A-4; that all these would clearly indicate that though these witnesses have been examined in order to speak about the overt acts, and that too when an occurrence has taken place at 4.00 P.M. i.e., day time, naturally one would expect them to narrate the incident properly; but, those discrepancies what are found in the evidence are not only contra to the charges framed, but also the prosecution was unable to substantiate its case, and hence all would go to show that they could not have seen the occurrence at all.6.It is further urged by the learned Senior Counsel that Insofar as A-6, his name does not find place in the FIR; that according to the prosecution, when A-1 was arrested, he gave a confessional statement and produced six aruvals; that had it been true that A-6 was actually present at the place of occurrence, his name should have been mentioned in the FIR; that the non-mention of the name of A-6 in the FIR would clearly indicate that A-6 could not have been present in the place of occurrence; and that all would go to show that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove its case.7.Added further the learned Senior Counsel in the second line of argument that there was a rivalry between the accused on the one side and both the deceased on the other as to the sale of illicit arrack; that even on the date of occurrence, there was a quarrel when D1 and D2 were about to sell arrack to P.Ws.3 and 4, and in that process, the occurrence has taken place; that under the circumstances, it cannot be stated to be intentional or premeditated; and that if the Court comes to the conclusion that the prosecution has proved the case insofar as the overt acts attributed to the accused, the Court has to consider this aspect also before rendering its judgment.Srinivasan, learned Counsel appearing for the other appellants adopted the above arguments.9.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on all the above contentions and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.That apart, the appellants did not raise any controversy regarding the fact that both the deceased died out of homicidal violence.Under the circumstances, no impediment was felt by the trial Court and it has recorded the same accordingly, which has got to be affirmed by this Court.11.Insofar as the charges levelled against the appellants, the prosecution has marched five witnesses.Out of these five witnesses, P.W.1 though he was the author of Ex.P1, the report, has deposed that he did not know anything about the overt acts of the accused or incident.Under the circumstances, the evidence of P.W.1 was not useful or available to the prosecution.But, to the extent that the criminal law was set in motion, his evidence could be accepted since according to P.W.13, the Sub Inspector of Police, P.W.1 came to the police station and gave Ex.P1, the complaint, on the strength of which the case came to be registered under the above provisions of law.Apart from that, the signature of P.W.1 in Ex.P1, the report, no question of inferring his presence at the place of occurrence would arise.Hence, as far as A-6 is concerned, this Court is unable to notice any evidence in the case, and hence the presence of A-6 at the time of occurrence is ruled out, and he has got to be acquitted of the charges levelled against him.As far as the overt acts attributed to them, it is not in controversy that D1 Theoplus and D2 Jayaprakash were cut and death was caused instantaneously.At that time, number of persons who are the eyewitnesses before the Court and also the number of accused who were arrayed, were all present at the place of occurrence, and if to be so, at the time of occurrence, it is quite natural when two persons are being attacked by number of persons with deadly weapons like aruvals, one cannot expect them to meticulously note what are all the overt acts attributed to them.In the case on hand, the fact that the five persons namely A-1 to A-5, were armed with aruvals would clearly indicate that they have actually constituted an unlawful assembly with the common intention of killing those persons, and thus they have acted so.In view of their presence with deadly weapons and causing death of two persons, the provisions of Sec.149 of IPC would be attracted.The discrepancies brought to the notice of the Court in no way would affect the prosecution case and did not take away the truth of the case.Hence there is no impediment in recording a finding that A-1 to A-5 have constituted an unlawful assembly having deadly weapons and attacked D1 and D2 and caused their death instantaneously.14.Now, the contention put forth by the learned Senior Counsel for the appellants that there was a delay in despatching the FIR to the Court cannot be a reason to disbelieve the prosecution case for the reasons that P.W.1 has admitted that

P. 17 and the serologist's report Ex. P. 18 were received on 28-2-1986 and 30-4-1986 respectively.P.W. 12 Nainar Mohamed, Sub Inspector of Police, Kenikarai Police Station, has claimed that on the receipt of Ex. P. 3, he had been to the hospital by 12-15 noon on 21-10-1985 and found Gurusamy in an unconscious state and recorded the statement from P.W. 1 to her narration and read over to her and not thumb impression in Ex. P. 1 and returned to his police station and registered the same in crime number 275 of 1985 for the offence under S. 307, IPC and prepared the printed first information report Ex. P. 19 and sent it to the Court and higher officials.In the hospital he recovered M.O. 1 Saree from P.W. 1 and at about 7-45 p.m. on that day, he received Ex. P. 9 the death intimation regarding the death of Gurusamy and consequently altered the section of law into 302, IPC and sent the express report Ex. P. 21 to the Court and the Inspector of police under express tapal immediately.P.W. 13, the Inspector of Police would claim that at about 2-30 p.m. on 21-10-1985 on the receipt of express report in the instant case, he took up the investigation and had been to the scene of crime and prepared the observation mahazar Ex. P. 12 and the rough sketch Ex. P. 22 attested by witnesses.By about 4 p.m. on that day, he recovered M.O. 8, M.O. 9, M.O. 2, M.O. 6 under the cover of mahazar Ex. P. 13 attested by witnesses.Then he sent P.W. 1 for medical treatment.In the night at about 8-15 p.m. on that day, he received the express tapal regarding the alteration of the section into 302, IPC and went to the Government Head Quarters Hospital on 22-10-1985 and conducted inquest over the dead body between 6-30 a.m. and 10-30 a.m. and prepared Ex. P. 20 inquest report by examining the witnesses and the panchayatdars.The accused had denied every one of the claim made by the prosecution witnesses when he was examined under S. 313(1)(b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure and has stated that on the previous evening of the day of occurrence, all the fencing situated in his house and the backyard had been removed and a frivolous case has also been foisted against him.However, the accused did not choose to examine any witness in his behalf.After recording the oral evidence from P.Ws. 1 to 13 and the documentary evidence Ex. P. 1 to Ex. P. 22 with the marking of 11 material objects by and on behalf of the prosecution, with none of behalf of the accused, and after having an elaborate discussion on the entire adduced legal evidence, rival contentions and established circumstances in the instant case, the learned trial Judge has found that the prosecution had proved the complicity and guilt of the accused beyond all reasonable doubts and accordingly found him liable for the charges framed and tried against him and convicted and sentenced him as noted supra, and it is this judgment being challenged for its correctness and validity.We have heard the Bar for the appellant assailing the impugned judgment of conviction and sentence and the contra by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, supporting and justifying the impugned judgment on the basis of the verdict recorded the learned trial Judge.In the context of the above rival position, we have to consider the only point as to whether the prosecution had established the guilt and complicity of the accused in the instant case beyond all reasonable doubts and whether the impugned judgment is correct or not ?The fact that P.W. 8 and the accused had misunderstanding and enmity over the enjoyment and right of the palmirah trees situated in the land on the south west of the village for several years is specifically claimed by the prosecution and that in connection with the same, One Padmini was beaten by the accused is seen by this Court very clearly from the evidence made available.P.W. 3 Gomathi is also seen to have been beaten by the accused previously to the occurrence.The further fact P.W. 3 informed the sustaining of the injury at the hands of the accused to P.W. 1 and P.W. 1 questioned the accused and consequently.When P.W. 1 is stated to have informed her husband, the deceased, about the incident and to her mother P.W. 2, the prosecution claims, it is seen that they were able to arrange for the convening of the panchayat on the next day.To this extent, P.W. 8 also renders every support and corroboration, who would claim that by paying the fee to the village menial, village panchayat was arranged to be convened on the morning of the occurrence day has been established.There was no specific denial of the above facts when the prosecution witnesses claim so and no controverting of the same is there during the cross-examination.Therefore, we have been left with no other alternative except to believe their version with regard to the background leading to the occurrence proper.It is the consistent case of P.Ws. 1, 2 and 3 on the one hand and P.W. 8 also that P.W. 1 was beaten by the accused with a small stick and when it was questioned by P.W. 2, her mother, she was also beaten by the accused with a kavaikambu and on seeing this when P.W. 2 fell down, the deceased, husband of P.W. 1, came to her reascue and attempted to lift her, the accused beat him upon his head with every force saying that he was the person who had convened the panchayat involving himself and that with that beating he should die.This beating, though dealt with at one time, seems to have been given with severe force.Therefore, the head of the deceased gave way and was broken, resulting in the brain matter and blood coming out.As the injured fell down with the bleeding, injury, the prosecution witnesses as a whole, claim that they took him and placed him in the nearby pial of one Kumaraiah.The observation mahazar prepared by the Inspector of Police Ex. P. 12 and the rough sketch showing the topography of the scene of crime Ex. P. 22 would clinchingly prove the place of occurrence and the consequent recovery of the blood stained earth, blood stained materials, and the Chemical Examiner's report and the Serelogist's report render ample corroboration and support to the claim that the occurrence place was, the one the prosecution claims situated near the house of one Mayalagu.On going through the evidence of P.W. 7 the doctor who did autopsy and the post mortem certificate Ex. P. 11, it is seen that injury number one found in the post-mortem certificate is fatal and likely to cause death in its ordinary course of nature, which would show that the head of the deceased Gurusamy was broken into two and through which, the brain matter has come but.We find no reason at all to eschew or suspect the evidence of the doctor who did the autopsy and reject the post-mortem certificate and the opinion of the doctor.P.Ws. 1 to 3 are not only the eye-witnesses but also the injured, who claim that the assailant is the accused and none-else.Their evidence seems to have full support and corroboration from the evidence of the medicos particularly, P.W. 4 and P.W. 6 with the Accident Register copy and the wound certificate.The doctors who treated them were positive enough in claiming that all the injuries found on the person of P.W. 1 and P.W. 2 could have been caused by beating with a stick at the time and manner as alleged.The two discrepancies, namely, caused by several persons' and 'the time is 6 a.m.' as found in the wound certificate have been pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellant, but, in our view, the said description of the time and the persons are purely by mistake given by he P.Ws. 1 to 3, because of not only their illiteracy but also because they are the persons injured and brought to the hospital in an injured condition and that therefore their mental faculty has been subjected to severe strains and it is under the said circumstances, no one can expect them to give the accurate narration of every incident happened with strict sequence.In the context of the argument advanced by Mr. K. Asokan, learned Senior Counsel, we have gone through the entire evidence of P.Ws. 1, 2, 3 and 8 along with the medical evidence.After having our strict scrutiny and marshalling, we are not able to find out a single aspect or laches in this case to suspect their version but on the other hand, their narration of the occurrence and witnessing the overt acts of the accused on P.W. 1, P.W. 2 and the deceased with every sequence, was very natural, cogent, convincing and as such trustworthy, bears all legal credibility.Hence, we accept the evidence of P.Ws. 1, 2, the injured occurrences witnesses with the corroboration of P.W. 3, who also sustained injury at the hands of the accused and if so, we have to take into account the core of the evidence of the medicos and their opinion which go to the total support and corroboration of the other evidence.If this is the position, after having gone through the entire gamut of the case, we have no hesitation to hold that the prosecution has succeeded in its mission of proving the guilt and complicity of the accused herein, not only in causing the injuries to P.Ws. 1 and 2 on the day of occurrence but also beating the deceased with 'kavai-kambu' violently and causing an injury, which proved fatal; and led to his death, which however, in accordance with the opinion of the doctor who did the autopsy, would attract thirdly of S. 300 of the Indian Penal Code.After having inflicted the injury to P.W. 1 and attacked P.W. 2, when the deceased came to the rescue of P.W. 2, who was falling down at that time, if the accused had no intention at all as claimed by the Bar, then, it is noted that he had no business to do away with the deceased but however, he dealt a fatal bit upon the deceased with 'kavai-kambu' which broke his head and the brain matter with bleeding came out.From the very nature of this injury, though a single one, inflicted by the accused, we are able to see the very intention of the accused, after deliberating that the deceased was the person who was responsible for convening the panchayat involving himself and he must die.From the totality of the above circumstances, clearly established by the prosecution, we are fully satisfied, to say, that the learned trial Judge, after having an elaborate discussion and deliberations of the entire adduced circumstances and legal evidence has validly justifiably and rightly come to the conclusion that the accused had landed himself under thirdly of S. 300 of the Indian Penal Code and that therefore, he was perfectly correct and justified in finding him guilty and accordingly convicting and sentencing on all the charges.The very effort and strain taken by Mr. Asokan, learned counsel in persuading us to modify the sentence by showing the very mirror inconsistencies in the description of the time and the number of persons, appears to us as too flimsy and bleak and for the said reasoning, we are not inclined to give any legal credance for the same.In the instant case, the legal evidence adduced by the prosecution against the accused regarding his complicity and guilt is abundant, more than adequate and overwhelming and when this is the position, one cannot be expected to run the risk of suspecting the same by catching a small thread at the one extreme and go into the root of the prosecution case, which is totally alien to the law.Thus, after having considered the whole gamut of the case, we do not find any merits in this appeal and the various findings and observations given by the learned trial Judge in the impugned judgment are perfectly valid and justifiable.Accordingly, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.Appeal dismissed.","['Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The facts that are necessary for the disposal of this appeal canbe stated thus:-(a) The accused/appellants and the deceased one Ramalingam werenatives of Semangalam village.The deceased was cultivating six silk cottontrees for which there was a quarrel and dispute between the parties.P.W.1 isthe daughter of the deceased.Due to enmity that arose on the cultivation ofthose trees, on 27.3.1996 at about 9.30 a.m. A1 to A4 came to the house ofthe deceased.At that time, A1 pulled down a thatched shed in front of hishouse and took a bamboo stick M.O.1 , while A2 took kattamani stick and A3 and A4 also took bamboo sticks, and they attacked the deceased.In that course,P.W.1 interfered, and she was also attacked.P.W.1 took her father to AnnaiHospital, Thevur, through a bullock cart brought by P.W.3, Duraisamy, andthere, he was declared dead by the doctor.Then she went to P.W.2 the VillageAdministrative Officer, at about 3.30 p.m. The Village AdministrativeOfficer, who enquired P.W.1, did not write any statement, but prepared areport, which is marked as Ex.P1, and she was sent to Keevalur Police Stationalong with his menial with Ex.P1 report.The menial accompanied by P.W.1 went to Keevalur Police Station where P.W.7, Head Constable was available.Onreceipt of Ex.P1 receipt, he registered a case in Crime No.182/96 undersections 302 and 324 IPC.The printed First Information Report Ex.P6, wasdespatched to the Court.(b) Mr.Subbiah the Inspector of Police, took up investigation in thecase, proceeded to the scene of occurrence and prepared an observation mahazar and prepared a rough sketch.It is reported that the appellants are on bail.The learnedSessions Judge shall take steps to commit the accused/A1 to prison to undergothe remaining period of sentence.The bail bonds executed by A-2 to A-4,shall stand cancelled.The Additional Sessions Judge, Nagapattinam2. --do-- through the Principal Sessions Judge,Nagapattinam.The District Collector, Nagapattinam.The DGP, ChennaiThe Public Prosecutor, Chennai.6.The Superintendent of Police,Central Prison, Tiruchirapalli.[The Judgment of the Court was delivered byM.CHOCKALINGAM,J] Aggrieved over the judgment of the Additional Sessions Court,Nagapattinam, made in SC.No.40/98 wherein the appellants stood charged, triedand found guilty for an offence under section 302 read with 34 IPC andsentenced to undergo life imprisonment, and the first appellant/A1 alone stoodfound guilty for an offence under section 324 IPC and sentenced to undergo sixmonths rigorous imprisonment, the appellants have brought forth this appeal.The imprisonment for life and the rigorous imprisonment for six months imposedon the accused No.1 is ordered to be run concurrently.Due to his demise, P.W.13 the Inspector ofPolice, took up further investigation and went to the scene of occurrenceagain, and it was found correct.He examined the Inquest Report, Ex.P10prepared by the said Mr.Subbiah again.A requisition was sent to theGovernment Hospital along with dead body of the deceased Ramalingam forconduct of autopsy.(c) P.W.9 the Civil Surgeon, attached to the Government Hospital,Thiruvarur, on receipt of the requisition, conducted autopsy on the dead bodyand found the following injuries:-""(1)Contusion over most of the upper part of scalp with fluctuations present.(2)Multiple small abrasions with contusion over right side neck.(3)Multiple small abrasion with contusion over middle of the right side back.""The Doctor has issued a postmortem certificate Ex.P8 and has opined that thedeceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhage prior to 24 hoursdue to injuries sustained.(d) P.W.1 who was found with injuries, was sent to the hospital.Shewas given treatment by P.W.8 the Doctor, and the wound certificate is markedas Ex.During investigation, the accused were arrested, and they were alsosent for judicial custody.All the material objects were despatched to theCourt with a requisition to send them for chemical analysis.Accordingly,they were subjected to chemical analysis.On completion of investigation, thefinal report was filed by the Investigation Officer.The case was committed to Court of Sessions.Necessary chargeswere framed against the appellants/ accused.In order to substantiate the charges levelled against the accused,the prosecution examined 13 witnesses and relied on 10 exhibits and 6 materialobjects.On completion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, theaccused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P. C. as to the incriminatingcircumstances found in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses, which theyflatly denied as false.On the side of defence, D.W.1 was examined and nodocument was marked on their side.After hearing the arguments advanced by both sides, and onscrutiny of the materials available on record, the trial Court found theaccused guilty as per the charge and awarded punishment as referred to above,which is the subject matter of challenge in this appeal.The learned counsel appearing for the appellants inter alia wouldmake the following submissions:(ii).So far P.W.1 was concerned, she was not a witness at the timeof inquest, and thus, her evidence cannot be given any credence.A perusal ofEx.P1 would clearly reveal that it did not contain necessary particulars tocall it as a complaint.Even after Ex.P1 report was placed in the hands ofthe police, no report of P.W.1 was obtained, and thus, a case came to beregistered on the strength of the report of the Village Administrative OfficerEx.P1, which is so bald in nature.(iii).According to the prosecution, the weapons of crime viz.,bamboo sticks were recovered from the place of occurrence.It is pertinent tonote that A1 is alleged to have attacked the deceased with a bamboo stick of7+ of length which is humanly impossible in that one could not attack theother with such a weighty stick.(iv).Though the occurrence has taken place at about 9.30 a.m., thecase came to be registered after a long delay, at about 6.45 p.m. whichremained unexplained, and there is no evidence to indicate that the appellantsshared the common intention.(v).In so far as A1 was concerned, even assuming that the case wasproved by the prosecution, there is ample evidence to indicate that there wasa quarrel between the parties from the morning.Apart from that, Ex.P1 willalso indicate that there was a quarrel preceding the occurrence, and under thecircumstances, the act of A1, even assuming to be proved, would not attractthe penal provisions of section 302 IPC, and hence, all these things have gotto be considered by this Court.Heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the abovecontentions.9.In the instant case, there has been a quarrel between A1 and thedeceased from morning in respect of cultivation of six silk cotton trees, andthat has culminated in the occurrence.There is no controversy that thefather of P.W.1, by name Ramalingam, was taken to the hospital from the sceneof occurrence and was declared dead.Following the inquest by theInvestigating Officer, the postmortem was also conducted by Dr.Sridharan, whowas examined as P.W.9, and the post mortem certificate was also marked asEx.P8, where from it would be quite evident that the deceased Ramalingam diedout of shock and haemorrhage.Apart from that, it is pertinent to point outthat the appellants either before the court below at the time of trial orbefore this Court, questioned the fact that Ramalingam died out of homicidalviolence.Thus, it could be safely concluded that Ramalingam died out ofhomicidal violence.10.In the instant case, P.W.1 was also injured at the time ofoccurrence.She was also treated by Dr.Vijayanthi, and the wound certificatewas also marked, wherein it is stated that she also sustained injuries at thetime of the occurrence.No circumstance or reason is brought to the notice ofthe Court why her evidence has got to be disbelieved.Itis true that she is the daughter of the deceased.Apart from that, herevidence remained uncorroborated.But a careful scrutiny of her evidencewould clearly reveal that it is trustworthy and has got to be accepted.Thus,the Court without any difficulty can accept her evidence to the extent that itwas A1 who attacked the deceased Ramalingam with bamboo stick on his head and caused the fatal injury.11.In so far as the second contention that Ex.P1 was only a report,given by Village Administrative Officer and it does not speak about thenarration of the incident, and no statement of P.W.1 was obtained by thepolice before the registration of the case, the court has to necessarilyreject the said contention since it does not stand in the way of scrutiny oflaw.It is true that P.W.1 went to P.W.2, the Village Administrative Officer,and reported the incident.P.W.2 had categorically stated that he did notrecord her statement, but only wrote her report which is marked as Ex.From the evidence of the HeadConstable, who registered the case, it could be seen that he did not get theindependent report from P.W.1 before registering the case.Thus it would bequite clear that an independent report was neither obtained by the VillageAdministrative Officer, P.W.2, or by the Head Constable, who registered thecase.But, her statement was recorded by the police officer under section 161Cr.P.C. A perusal of Ex.P1 report would clearly indicate that on thestatement made by P.W.1, P.W.2 has given the said report.Accordingly, it became the basis for registration of the case againstthe appellants.Thus, that contention has got to be rejected.But, there is suffice evidenceto hold that it was the act of A1 attacking the deceased with bamboo stickagain and caused the fatal injury, resulting in death also.There arematerials to indicate that it was the result of a quarrel between the parties.Even in Ex.P1 report by the Village Administrative Officer which came intoexistence at the instance of P.W.1, it is stated that there was a quarrelbetween the two families, as a result of which, Ramalingam was killed.At the same time, A1 committed the act with knowledge thatit would likely to cause death.Under such circumstances, the court is of theview that the offence committed by the first appellant, would fall within theprovisions of Sec.304 (Part II) IPC, and accordingly, awarding punishment offive years rigorous imprisonment would meet the ends of justice.14.So far as the appellants 2 to 4 are concerned, as the chargelevelled against them is not proved, they are not found guilty.Hence, theappellants 2 to 4 are acquitted of the charge.The charge levelled againstthe first appellant is modified from one under Sec.302 read with 34 I.P.C. toone under section 304 (Part II) IPC as stated above and he is directed toundergo five years rigorous imprisonment.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 511 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"/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",['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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. (the proprietary firm of the petitioner herein) and M/s PRJ Enterprises.It was evident that the MLO/Head Clerk/MVI had not maintained any parameters for issuance of such permits.The specific allegations against the petitioner herein, as contained in the charge sheet read as under: W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 6 of 16W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 6 of 16Sanjeev Dandona, Proprietor M/s Dandona Finance Ltd.and that in pursuance of the above criminal conspiracy documents were got forged and then used as genuine in order to justify issuance of new permit and registration certificates, although under the W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 7 of 16 guidelines of Transport Deptt.no fresh permit/RC could be issued in place of one old auto rickshaw more than once and that too when auto rickshaw in question was road worthy and permit/RC holder was himself plying the same in the NCT of Delhi and all of you A-1 to A-8 thereby committed an offence punishable U/s.120-B r/w 420, 468, 471 IPC r/w sec 13(1)(d) of PC Act 1988 and within my cognizance.W.P(Crl.) 586/2010 Page 7 of 16Secondly, All of you misrepresented facts and/or acted in fraudulent manner by your acts of commission or omission (as mentioned in Annexure A), as a result of which Transport Authority of NCT of Delhi was cheated in the matter of issuing of Registration certificate and Permit in the name of various Auto Rickshaw Holders and all of you thereby committed an offence punishable U/s 420 IPC and within the cognizance of this court.And I hereby direct that you all to be tried by this court for the above said charges"".PW25 Chander Bhan has stated that files, D-24, D-27, D-28, D-31, D- 34 and D-40 are totally fake files.Authority record shows that some new TSRs were replaced against the old TSRs.According to prosecution A-5 has put his signatures/stamp of company on form-20 showing hypothecation of TSR but with regard signatures of TSR owners.VIPIN SANGHI, J.The present writ petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India has been filed by the petitioner to seek quashing of the order of charge dated 04.09.2008 and the charge-framing order dated 17.10.2008 passed by Sh.V.K.

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.","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 3 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"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. Sri Ram Singh Pal, the then Incharge of the police station Amapur in whose presence the Chick FIR was lodged.He copied the chick F.I.R. and the G.D. entry in the case diary.Information regarding the incident was transmitted through the R.T.

Arrest memo was also prepared at the place of occurrence and other formalities were fulfilled.Accused persons were kept in the HAWALAT of the police station concerned.After fulfilling the formalities, they were interrogated by the investigating officer.He also went to the village to maintain the law and order situation at the time of funeral of the dead bodies.He interrogated the scribe of the written report and the witnesses of inquest and also ensured the arrest of the rest of the accused-persons.Later on, the investigation was completed by 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 ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ 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, 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

+"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.","['Section

+"This petition has been filed to set aside the judgment dated 26.07.2013 in C.A.No.7 of 2013 on the file of Principal Sessions Court, Tiruppur, confirming the judgment dated 22.01.2013 in S.T.C.No.5816 of 2010 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.On 21.02.2010, around 7.45 p.m., a motor accident took place in Uralpatti, in connection with which, on the complaint lodged by Ramakrishnan, the respondent police have registered a case in Cr.No.124 of 2010 and after completing the investigation, filed final report before the Judicial Magistrate No.I, Udumalpet, which was taken on file as STC No.5816 of 2010 and process was issued to the accused.On the appearance of the accused, charges for the offences under Sections 279 and 338 (2 counts) IPC were framed against him.When questioned, he pleaded 'not guilty'.To prove the case, the prosecution examined 10 witnesses and marked 8 documents.The accused was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. about the incriminating circumstances appearing against him and he denied the same.On the side of the accused, no witness was examined nor was any document marked.Amongst the witnesses examined by the prosecution, two were doctors, viz., Dr.Roy Wilson Amsraj [P.W.8] and Dr.Madhu Periyasami [P.W.9] who had given treatment to the two victims immediately after the incident.The police arrested the accused on 23.02.2010 and he was released on bail on the same day.After considering the evidence on record and hearing either side, the trial Court, by judgment dated 22.01.2013, convicted the accused for the said offences and sentenced him to undergo three months Rigorous Imprisonment for the offence under Section 279-A IPC and three months Rigorous Imprisonment for each counthttp://www.judis.nic.in 3 for the offence under Section 338 IPC.The sentences were directed to run concurrently.Challenging the conviction and sentence, the accused filed Crl.A.No.7 of 2013, which was heard by the Principal Sessions Judge, Tiruppur, who has dismissed the same on 26.07.2013, challenging which, the accused has filed the present revision petition.6. Heard the learned counsel for the accused and the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent - State.The learned counsel for the accused submitted that there is absolutely no evidence to show that the accused had driven the offending tractor in a rash and negligent manner resulting in the injuries to Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1] and Kalimuthu [P.W.2].He further contended that Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1] being a volunteer in the police force, he has sustained injuries somewhere and has filed a bogus motor complaint.He further contended that from the nature of the injuries suffered by Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1], it cannot be stated that he was hit by the trailer driven by the accused.Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) refuted the contentions.This Court gave its anxious consideration to the rival submissions.[a] Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1], in his evidence, has stated that he is a P.E.T.Master in Srinivasa School and that he also serves as Traffic Warden during peak hours to regulate traffic; on 21.02.2010, he, along with his friend Kalimuthu [P.W.2], had gone to attend the marriage of their friend in his bike TN-41-V-2637; he was driving the motor cycle and near Kommum Road, a tractor came on the other side of the road and when it swerved to the right, the rod in the tractor hit against his knees resulting in his leg getting split and both being thrown on the ground with their two wheeler; the tractor went about 15 feet away and stopped; on seeing this, the local people gathered and the driver of the tractor ran away; the locals called 108 ambulance and sent both of them to the Government Hospital, Udumalpet for first aid and from there, Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1] was taken to Ganga Hospital in Coimbatore, where the doctors declared that his right leg cannot be rejoined; the next day, the police came to the hospital and recorded his statement; he has also given the number of the tractor, viz., TN-41-2905, both in his evidence as well in the complaint, which formed the basis for registration of the FIR.In the cross-http://www.judis.nic.in 5 examination, he was questioned about the route which he had taken to reach Udumalpet, for which, he has given necessary answers.When he was asked as to whether there was a trailer in the tractor, he stated in the affirmative, however, stated that he did not know what were the goods found inside the trailer.In fact, in the cross-examination, he has stated that since the tractor had come over the road, the hind portion hit them.He also admitted in the cross-examination that his vehicle was not covered by insurance.Ultimately, it was suggested to him that since he being a Traffic Warden, he has managed to lodge a false complaint against the accused and that the alleged vehicle was not involved in the offence.[b] Similar is the evidence of Kalimuthu [P.W.2] who was a pillion rider and he also sustained injuries and was taken to the Government Hospital by ambulance, where he underwent treatment.In his cross-examination, it has been suggested that Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1] had driven the two wheeler very rashly and on account of that, the accident had taken place.Since the vehicle of Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1] was not covered by insurance, a false complaint has been filed against the accused for compensation, which suggestion to Kalimuthu [P.W.2] was denied.The Motor Vehicle Inspector has clearly stated that the accident had not taken place on account of any mechanical failure in the two vehicles.From the evidence of the two doctors, it is apparent that Madhuramakrishnan [P.W.1] lost hishttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 leg and he had to be fitted with Jaipur foot and therefore, the injuries suffered by him are grievous in nature.This Court is unable to countenance the submission of the learned counsel of the accused that a false case has been foisted on the accused for the sake of compensation.The fact remains that after the accident, the tractor was found abandoned in the road and based on that, the identity of the accused has been fixed.This has not been denied by the accused.22.11.2018 gmshttp://www.judis.nic.in 7 To 1 The Inspector of Police Komaralingam Police Station Tiruppur District 2 The Principal Sessions Judge, Tiruppur 3 The Judicial Magistrate No.I, Udumalpet.R.C.No.977 of 2013 22.11.2018http://www.judis.nic.in",['Section 338 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

(nominated) of Tamil Nadu, the President of the Friends-In-Need Society in No.29, Poonamallee High Road, Chennai  600 003, the President-in-Chief of The Anglo-Indian Association of Southern India and alleged Member of the State Board of Anglo Indian Education, Member of the Senate of the Madras University and a Self-styled recognized educationist of 27 years standing, that the accused is in no way connected with the complainant and is also not a member of its Association.1[B] Right from 1997 onwards the accused has, besides others been deliberately defaming the complainant by lodging one 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 donate, etc. which even to the knowledge of the accused are totally false, without ay basis or supported by any iota of proof or substance, that this has been resorted to by the accused without any official authority or authorisation whatsoever from any Board or Committee, and also without any locus standi whatsoever, that as a result of this, the accused has been put to gross harm, damage and humiliation thereby per se defamng the complainant and causing damage and disrepute to its fair name and reputation not only with the Government bodies and authorities but also in and with the parents and the public at large, with the MLA and others enquiring into the matter, though finding no basis and substance in the said complaint of the accused, that the accused has for the second time once again committed the offence punishable under Section 500 of IPC per se defaming 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.Following are the allegations contained in the complaint laid by the complainant, namely School Association (in C.C.No.9370 of 2002) -2[A] Apart from the allegations contained in the complainant laid by the complainant in C.C.No.7469 of 2002, it is also alleged that the complaints have been lodged with the Government of Tamil Nadu, 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 Anglo-Indian community by applying devious tactics..."" and being ""a third rate lawyer"", that the accused has committed the offence punishable under the IPC Section 500 of per se defaming 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.",['Section 500 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.)

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.

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.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal

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""","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 392 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 397 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 320 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(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 498 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 392 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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.

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","['Section 395 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

M. Nirmalabai was shouting in her house for seeking help by saying ^^cpkvks & cpkvks**- On this basis the case was registered against the accused-appellant for an offence punishable under Section 306, Indian Penal Code and after investigation the charge-sheet was filed for offence punishable under Sections 306 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code.The prosecution examined as many as 8 witnesses.Garibdas, the Ward boy of the Govt.

K Gadre (P.W. 6) was consumption of the poison.In defence, the prosecution allegation was denied and the accused stated that he did not commit any cruelty, did not assault her wife Nirmalabai in the alleged night and it was he who took her to the hospital.7. 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.","['Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

attention of thisCourt to Ex.P.3, dated 31.12.1998, and submitted that as per the prosecutioncase, P.W.3 had given a complaint to take action against one LaxmananS/o.Mathavan Naicker and 9 others, on the ground that they were causing damageto his crops by cattle and also attempting to attack him.Asper Ex.P.4, the defacto-complainant, Paara Naicker, P.W.3 gave a complaintbefore the Deputy

paying the amount Rs.5,000/- to the co-accused/A1 and informed the same to the respondent.Learned counsel appearing for the appellant/A2 further submitted thatthere is no whisper against the appellant/A2 in the written complaint given byP.W.3, that he had demanded any illegal gratification and the defactocomplainant / P.W.3 had raised allegation only against the co-accused / A1.Subsequently, as per the prosecution case, on 25.01.99 at about 17.45 hours theVigilance and Anti Corruption squad came to the police station, as alreadyplanned and P.W.3 entered into the police station as per the trap proposal.Prior to that he had been given fifty hundred Rupee notes by the respondent andwas instructed to hand over the same to the co-accused / A1 and to giveimmediate signal

receive the amount from P.W.3 and there was no other excess amount availablewith the appellant.The amount handed over by the defacto-complainant and theconduct of the appellant / A2, keeping the money

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 he had recorded the statement himself and got signed, later, by the SDM, was denied.Regarding the injuries on the body of Asma, he stated that all the visible parts of her body were having burn injuries, and that her hands were also burnt.A. 1388/2013 Page 19 of 36 forehead, and that he had prepared the MLC for the appellant, which was exhibited as Ex PW-19/B.Crl.A. 1388/2013 Page 19 of 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 app",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ as he has stated, categorically, 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.""","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section

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.

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.

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.

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.

+"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,

+"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.

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/-.","['Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 467 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"2.The facts of the case are as follows:(a).The first appellant Mr.S.Thuraisingam, proprietor of M/s.Bharathi Gems and Jewels floated advertisements promising attractive offers under the following schemes viz., A.Bharathi Gems and Jewels; B.Bharathi Subhayagam; C.Bharathi Hire Purchase Scheme; D.Bharathi Saving Scheme; E.Bharathi Gems and Travels.By means of the above schemes, the first respondent dishonestly induced the depositors to part with various amounts.The allegation made in the said complaint is that the complainant had invested in various schemes with the first appellanthttp://www.judis.nic.in and on maturity of the deposits, cheques were issued towards payment 4 of the sum due to him, however on presentation those cheques were dishonoured.Thereafter, number of depositors came forward alleging that their deposits were not repaid.While few cases were compounded/withdrawn on payment of the defaulted sums, presently three cases viz., C.C.No.8038/2001 and C.C.No.6028/2001 on the file of the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai and C.C.No.155/2001 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate No.1, Madurai are pending trial.(c).After registration of cases, Tamil Nadu Protection of Interest of Depositors Act was enacted and as per Section 3 of the said Act, the 5 respondent Competent Authority was empowered to attach the properties of the defaulting accused and the properties purchased out of the sums collected from the depositors.The relevant provisions of the said Act reads as follows:""3.Notwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time being in force:-(i)where, upon complaints received from a number of depositors, that any Financial Establishment defaults the return of deposits after maturity, orNo.918, Home (Courts II A) Department, dated 16.07.1998 interim attachment ofhttp://www.judis.nic.in movable and immovable properties were made and subsequently, the 6 interim attachment was made absolute by the order of the Special Court for TNPID Act, Chennai.(e).Even prior to the order of absolute attachment u/s 7 of TNPID Act, the first appellant S.Thuraisingam entered into a Memorandum of Undertaking with the depositors association represented by one Mr.G.E.Krishnan and approached this Hon'ble Court praying for permission to reopen the business premises to revive the business.This Court by an order dated 20.03.2003 made in C.M.A.No.1632/2001 permitted the first appellant to open the business premises and possession of some of the properties under interim attachment were handed over to him.The first appellant re-opened the showroom on 10.10.2003, but he was not able to revive the business and thus was not able to fulfill the obligations made under the Memorandum of Understanding with the depositors association.(g).In the said circumstances, the Competent Authority sought and obtained permission of this Court for sale of the immovable properties 7 and thereafter by auction 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 Division Bench of this Court dated 16.09.2008, the Competent Authority was directed to issue Sales Certificate to the auction purchaser – Elite Builders and Constructions.Thereafter, on the orders of this Court, the Competent Authority gave paper publication in all the leading news papers on 21.09.2008, 24.10.2008, 02.12.2009 and 03.12.2009 calling upon the defaulters to make their claim.Pursuant to the paper publication, the depositors claim was arrived at Rs.14,81,32,450/- after scrutiny of the deposit receipts made with the claims.(h).Again the Competent Authority approached this Court for 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 of 2009 under Section 5A of TNPID Act, 1997 to direct the competent authority to collect the various amounts available and to bring everything to the account and disburse the statutory due, after 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 account or deposits of Bharathi Finance or other sister concerns shall give back the amount with interest to the first appellant.The learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Egmore and learned Judicial Magistrate I, Madurai are directed to handover the precious metals, jewellery and stones available under their custody to the first appellant directly.If any further clarification is required, it is always left open to the parties to approach this Court.16.These Civil Miscellaneous Appeals are disposed of with the above directions.Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.No

+"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","['Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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.",['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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.","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 457 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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. Of India), some boys had worked for pest control in the same office.One Dhiraj @ Chotu (absconder) had approached him along with two of his associates to arrange a vehicle for taking chemical drums to Delhi.PW1 deposed that he initially took them to Chandra Travels but since no vehicle could be arranged at his place he then took them to Gangawat Travels where one Kamal who was a resident of his locality was also working.He further deposed that the owner of Gangawat Travels had initially refused to arrange a vehicle but on the insistence of Kamal he agreed to arrange a vehicle for Dhiraj @ Chotu.He further deposed that Crl.PW1 further deposed that he accompanied the appellant and his accomplices to Delhi on the insistence of Banwari Lal Vyas who said that he needed someone to help him during the journey and since no other person could be found, he agreed to accompany the driver.PW1 deposed that he informed his wife about the journey to Delhi and then the appellant and the co- accused along with the driver and PW1 proceeded to Delhi.He then deposed that Dhiraj purchased liquor and food for everyone from New Delhi Railway Station and then Dhiraj took everyone to his Jija's (brother in law) house where he brought the food he purchased in a tray and served it to the driver Banwari Lal Vyas and himself.He further deposed that two drums out of the four that they were carrying were dropped off at the above mentioned house.In default of payment of fine he was sentenced to undergo Simple Imprisonment for six months.All the sentences were ordered to run concurrently.PW18/A.

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

+"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","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 114 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Udhav - brother of deceased Vidya.These two witnesses have deposed that Vidya used to complain them that the Appellant had illicit relations with another lady and on that count there used to be quarrels in between Vidya and the Appellant and the Appellant used to assault Vidya.Prosecution has examined P.W.4 Viraj Kate, son ::: Downloaded on -

Basha, J.The appellant/accused has preferred this appeal challenging his conviction and sentence passed by the learned IV Additional Sessions Judge, Chennal, in S. C. 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. W, 1 for medical examination through the XIII Metropolitan Magistrate under Ex. P. 6, Requisition.He has sent the accused for medical examination under Ex. P. 9. requisition.As per Ex. P. 6, the doctor, P.W. 6, conducted examination of P.W. 1 on 16-2-1995 at 11.00 a. m. and found that P.W. 1 is a moderately nourished female.On the examination of private parts, she made the following observations:Vulva : NormalVagina : Torn at 5 and 7 O'clock position.No fresh.Fourchette, Perineum : IntactCervix : Upwards, uterus anteverted, normal in size.Fornices free, no white discharge.The doctor, P.W. 6, is of the opinion that the prosecutrix could have had sexual intercourse.Ex.

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.","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"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.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and also a rough sketch Ex.Heconducted inquest on the dead body of the deceased in the presence ofpanchayatdars and prepared an Inquest Report Ex.He recovered the materialsobjects available from the place of occurrence.(v) The dead body of the deceased was subjected to post-mortem by PW.7,attached to the Government Hospital, Dindigul and he found injuries as describedin the post-mortem 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

+"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.",['Section 308 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

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.'

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.

mediation, their daughter went to her matrimonial house and after six months again all the accused demanded dowry and the deceased was driven to her parental home and the sister of A1 told that they are going to arrange second marriage for A1 and then only PW1 and the deceased went to the Police Station and gave Ex.P1 complaint and the accused persons went to Aruppukottai Police Station for enquiry and then, they went nearby way of thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 8 property of PW1 and threatened PW1 saying that they will severe the marital tie between A1 and the deceased and due to it, their daughter committed suicide.13.PW3 is the brother of the deceased.PW3 deposed that at the time of marriage, his sister was given 15 sovereign of jewels and Rs.15,000/- cash and household articles worth

SI for 3 months each.Aggrieved by the Judgment of the trial court, A1 to A5 preferred appeal in C.A.No.25 of 2009, which was heard by the Additional District & Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court), Ramanathapuram.Aggrieved by the Judgment of the first appellate court, A1 to A5 as revision petitioners are before this court.4.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against the accused and that the first appellate court failed to consider the fact that the accused found guilty under Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act,http://www.judis.nic.in 4 when the accused are innocent in respect of Section 304(B) IPC and that there are material contradictions in the evidence of PW1, PW2 and PW3 and that PW1 to PW3 are close relatives and their testimony is interested one and that the first appellate court failed to appreciate the evidence of PW4 who is the independent and truthful witness and the first appellate

allowed.5.On the other hand, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal side) appearing for the respondent/State submitted that the first appellate court on proper appreciation of the evidence both oral and documentary, convicted the revision petitioners and passed proper sentence, which does not require any interference by this court and the accused are not entitled for acquittal and prays that the criminal revision may be dismissed.P1 complaint in respect of the occurrence.10.PW1 in his complainant and evidence stated that at the time of marriage, the deceased was given 15 sovereign of

stated the details of demand of dowry by the accused.Further, the learned counsel for the revision petitioners/A1 to A5 submitted that there is no necessity for the revision petitioners/A1 to A5 to pass through the garden of PW1, while going to Aruppukottai.http://www.judis.nic.in 11PW1 during his cross examination stated that:-“ehd; bfhLj;j g[fhh; jhd; ,e;j tHf;fpw;F mog;gil fhuzk; vd;Wk;>

first accused Muniyandi agreed to bring the other accused for enquiry.21.It is to be noted that Ex.But on 04.09.2004, the deceased committed suicide.Hence, it reveals that only due to the complaint given by the deceased, the accused threatened by saying that they are going to severe the marital tie between A1 and the deceased and due to it, she committed suicide.22.Further, in this case, it is pertinent to note that in order to settle the dispute between A1 and the deceased, no case was registered.Further, it is a matrimonial dispute.Hence, PW16 conducted enquiry to settle the dispute between the parties.Hence, it is not necessary to suspect Exs.23.On careful perusal of Ex.P1, it shows that all the accused harassed and committed cruelty on the deceased by way of demanding a dowry of Rs.50,000/- one year after her marriage and the deceased was driven out of matrimonial home.Further, PW1, who is the father of the deceased was not able to mobilise the dowry amount and therefore, the deceased stayed at his house for one year and thereafter, PW4/Patchamal effected compromise and the deceased was reunited with her husband and six monthshttp://www.judis.nic.in 13 thereafter, all the accused harassed the deceased again and sent her out of matrimonial home and thereafter, the deceased lived with PW1 until her suicide.24.In view of the above facts, this court is of the

+"This order shall dispose of Crl.Revision Petitions Nos.596/2000, 619/2000, 46/2001 and 47/2001, which are directed against order dated 23.11.2000 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge in case FIR No.287/99 registered with P.S. Mehrauli, commonly known as ""Jessica Lal Murder Case"".In Crl.The facts, leading to filing of the above revision petitions, briefly stated, are that on the intervening night of 29th and 30th April, 1999, a party was going on at Tamarind Court Cafe, Qutub Colonnade, Mehrauli, New Delhi in which drinks were being served on payment basis.According to the prosecution, accused Manu Sharma, Vikas Yadav, Amardeep Singh Gill @ Tony Gill, Alok Khanna and Amit Jhingan (hereinafter referred to as A-1 to A-5 respectively) also reached this Cafe at about 11.30 p.m. At about 2.00 a.m., A-1 asked a waiter to give him two drinks and on his refusal, he asked Malini Ramani, daughter of the owner of the Cafe to get him a drink, but she also declined.On his insistence, she remarked that he could not have a sip of drink even if he paid Rs.1,000/- on which A-1 remarked that he could pay Rs.1,000/- for a sip of her.It is alleged that thereafter A-1 asked Jessica Lal, deceased, to give him two drinks, but she also refused upon which A-1 took out a pistol from his pocket and fired one shot towards the roof and the second shot towards the deceased, which hit near her left eye.She fell down and later succumbed to her injury.On account of this firing, there was commotion (Hafra Tafri) amongst the guests present in the Cafe and most of them started running away.The prosecution alleges that A-6 succeeded in causing disappearance of this weapon of offence.He is also alleged to have helped and supported A-10 R.K.Sudan to escape from Delhi A-7 Harvinder Chopra, A-8 Vikas Gill @ Ruby Gill and A-9 Yog Raj Singh had allegedly harboured A-1 knowing of having reason to believe that he was wanted in connection with the offence.Some of the leading models of Delhi including deceased Jessica Lal were working as bar-tenders.The accused A-1 to A-5 remained there for a period of about 2/1-2 hours during which nothing objectionable happened.At about 2.00 AM when the party was coming to a close, A-1 first asked a waiter to get him drinks and on his refusal asked Malni Ramani, the daughter of the owner Beena Ramani but she also declined to oblige him.There was exchange of some unpleasant words even between the two and thereafter A-1 allegedly asked the deceased Jessica Lal to provide him two drinks.On her refusal he took out a pistol from his pocket and first fired a shot towards the roof and the second shot towards her which struck above her left eye and caused her fatal injury.The prosecution case is that on account of this firing there was complete commotion in the party and people started running.A-1 to A-05 also escaped from the spot.It is alleged that A-1 was being escorted out of the cafe by his other co-accused.It is also alleged that after leaving the Cafe, they again re-assembled at the house of A-3 and then planned retrieval of the Black Tata Safari of A-1 from the spot as well as the pistol which A-1 had allegedly concealed near Handloom Emporium.(a) Meeting between the accused at the house of A-3 before reaching the place of incident;(b) Exchange of telephone calls before reaching cafe;.(c) Carrying of a pistol to the spot by A-1;(d) Loading of the pistol by a-1 on his way to the place of incident;(e) Circumstances suggesting that they knew the deceased prior to the incident;R.596/2000, the State prays to set aside the discharge of accused No.1 Manu Sharma, accused No.2 Vikas Yadav, accused No.3 Amardeep Singh Gill, accused No.4 Alok Khanna and accused No.5 Amit Jhingan under Section 120-B read with Section 302 IPC as well as the discharge of A-2 to A-5 for offence under Section 302/34 IPC.A further prayer is to set aside the discharge of accused A-4, A-5 and A-6 Shyam Sunder Sharma, who have not been charged for commission of any of the offences.R.47/2001 has been filed by accused No.2 Vikas Yadav with a prayer to discharge him of the offences under Sections 201, 120-B and 34 IPC.Revision petition No.46/2001 has been filed by (SIC) & Tony Gill with a prayer to discharge him of the offences under Sections 201 and 120-B IPC.Revision petition No.619/2000 has been filed by accused No.12 Raja Chopra with a prayer to discharge him for the offence under Section 212 IPC.I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the records.After coming out of the Cafe, A-1 walked away on foot whereas the remaining accused slipped away in a vehicle.It is alleged that A-2, A-3 and A-4 reached the house of A-3 where A-1 also came later.The prosecution story is that before coming to Cafe also, there was exchange of telephone calls between them, which suggests that they had gone to the Cafe after hatching a conspiracy to murder deceased Jessica Lal.Prosecution alleges that after the incident A-1 to A-4 re-assembled at the house of A-3 where they hatched a conspiracy to remove the Tata Safari belonging to A-1 from the place of occurrence.In furtherance of this conspiracy, A-2 and A-3 again went to the spot in the vehicle of A-4 and forcibly removed black Tata Safari of A-1 from there inspite of resistance by P.W.54 Shravan Kumar.It is alleged that while the accused were taking away Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of occurrence, P.W.54 Shravan Kumar gave a danda blow on account of which one glass pane of vehicle got broken.It is also alleged that before coming to the house of A-3 after the incident, A-1 had concealed his pistol near the place of incident and later on in furtherance of a conspiracy, A-1 and A-2 went to the said place and managed to retrieve the weapon of offence form there.This weapon of offence, according to the prosecution, was later handed over by A-1 to accused R.K.Sudan (hereinafter referred to as 'A-10'), who is turn handed it over to A-6, Shyam Sunder Sharma.Accused No.12 Raja Chopra is stated to have provided his car to A-1 for escaping from Delhi and reaching Chandigarh.The prosecution filed a challan under Section 173 Cr.P.C. against the aforesaid accused for the commission of offences under Sections 302/201/212, read with Section (SIC) IPC, Section 27 of the Arms Act as well as Sections 302/34 IPC.Learned Additional Sessions Judge vide impugned order held that A-1 should be charged under Section 37 IPC (SIC) and Section 27 of the Arms Act. A-1 to A-8 were ordered to be charged under Section 120-B read with Section 201 IPC for conspiracy and removal of the Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of incident.Learned Additional Sessions Judge did not accept the prosecution request for charging A-1 to A-5 under Section 120-B IPC for commission of an offence under Section 302-IPC for murder of the deceased Jessica Lal.Section 34 IPC was also held to be not applicable against them for commission of the offence under Section 302 IPC. A-4 Alok Khanna and A-5 Anil Jhingan were discharged of all the offences.A-6 Shyam Sunder Sharma was also discharged of all the offences alleged against him.Mr.S.K.Saxena, learned Special Public Prosecutor, arguing for the State in Crl.He has assailed the view taken by learned trial Court that there were no grounds for framing of charge under Section 120-B IPC in as much as even if the evidence was to go (SIC), these accused could not be convicted under Section 120-B IPC in relation to the murder of Jessica Lal.According to learned counsel for the State, this approach of learned trial Court was manifestly erroneous for the reason that at the stage of framing of the charge, the Court is not required to (SIC) and appreciate the prosecution evidence on record to find out as to whether the evidence was sufficient or not for convicting an accused, if the evidence was to go (SIC).L.J. 2448 and Stree Atyachar Virodhi Parishad Vs.Dilip Nathumal Chordia & Another, .10 Mr.Saxena submits that for proving an offence of conspiracy-direct evidence is seldom available to the prosecution as dark deeds are done in darkness.He argues that existence of criminal conspiracy can be inferred from the circumstances, events and conduct of the accused prior to the offence, at the time of commission of the offence and subsequent to the commission of the offence.To argue that there existed a conspiracy between the aforesaid five accused for committing murder of Jessica Lal, he relies upon the judgments in Hardeo Singh Vs.State of Bihar & Others, 2000 Crl.L.J.2978; Ajay Agarwal Vs.Union of India & Others, AIR 1993 SC 1637 and Kehar Singh & Others Vs.The State (Delhi Administration), .Learned counsel, in support of his submissions for framing of charge of conspiracy against A-1 to A-5, points out that the prosecution has placed on record enough material to show that the accused persons had not at the residence of A-3 before going to the restaurant, there was exchange of phone calls between them, A-1 was carrying a loaded pistol with him and recovery of empty shells and a live cartridge from Tata Safari of A-1 shows that the pistol was loaded on way to the restaurant in the presence of other accused.According to him, all these circumstances prior to teaching the venue of the incident suggest very strongly that there might have been a conspiracy between A-1 to A-5 commit murder of Jessica Lal otherwise they had no reason to go there when one of them was armed with a pistol.He further submits that presence of all the five accused at the spot is prima facie established and it is also established by statements of some witnesses that the deceased not a stranger to them.He has read the statement of Shyan Munshi to show that A-3 Tony Gill was seen talking to the deceased sometime prior to the incident.It is submitted that in the absence of a conspiracy and a firm resolve to kill Jessica Lal, A-1 had no reason to fire a second shot aiming towards her.Absence of any effort by A-2 to A-5 to prevent A-1 from firing a second shot at Jessica Lal and thereafter omission to provide her help clearly suggest that they had come prepared to murder her.After the incident, all of them escorted A-1 out of the restaurant, which circumstance is also indicative of their plan to commit murder and then escape.His further contention is that even if it is not believed that the conspiracy was hatched at the residence of A-3 Tony Gill, a possibility is there that the conspiracy was hatched at Tamarind Cafe itself where A-1 to A-5 were present for sufficient time before killing the deceased Jessica Lal.Learned counsel for the State submits that even after commission of murder, the accused persons continued to collaborate and cooperate with each other in the matter of retrieval of the vehicle of A-1 from the spot, retrieval of the weapon of offence from the place where he was (SIC) by A-1, refixing of a window pane in the vehicle of A-1, meeting at the residence of A-3 Tony Gill, exchange of telephone calls between them and escape of A-1 from Delhi.According to him if A-2 to A-5 had not been co-conspirators of A-1, they would have (SIC) associated themselves from A-1 at least after the shooting incident and as such, their exists (SIC) suspicion that they all were in conspiracy to commit the murder of deceased Jessica Lal.Mr.S.K.Saxena presses for invoking Section 34 IPC also against A-2 to A-5 for the commission of the offence under Section 302 IPC on the ground that there was some time gap between the first shot fired by A-1 towards the roof and the second shot fired towards the deceased, but none of his co-accused tried to prevent A-1 from firing the second shot towards the deceased Jessica Lal, which resulted in her death.Their omission to prevent A-1 from firing the second shot, according to learned counsel, is suggestive of their common intention.After shooting of the deceased by A-1, the remaining four accused A-2 to A-5 did nothing to help the deceased by way of removing her to the hospital or calling the police and instead were more concerned to escort A-1 out of the restaurant safely.It is submitted that these facts and circumstances strongly suggest that if not conspiracy, they at least shared a common intention to kill Jessica Lal and as such Section 34 ought to have been invoked against them.Learned Special Public Prosecutor contends that the charges under Section 212 IPC also ought to have been framed against A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 in as much as inspite of their knowledge of commission of the offence by A-1, they escorted him out of the restaurant.Inspite of best efforts, the Investigating Agency could nt trace out this weapon and as such, material evidence has been made to disappear.Referring to statement of P.W. A.K.Dutt and the transcript of the taped telephonic conversation between P.W. A.K.Dutt and accused R.K.Sudan, it is submitted that there were sufficient grounds for charging A-6 under Section 201 IPC.He submits that disclosure statement of A-1 led the Investigating Agency to discover the fact that the pistol was handed over by A-1 to accused R.K.Sudan and the transcript of the taped conversation shows that the weapon was passed on to A-6 by accused R.K.Sudan.The telephonic conversation between R.K.Sudan and P.W. A.K.Dutt, learned counsel argues, was an extra judicial confession of R.K.Sudan and as such, admissible in evidence.Learned counsel argue that such serious charge cannot be and must not be framed against the accused unless the prosecution has sufficient material in support of the allegations.They submit that framing of a charge is not an empty formality in as much as an unwarranted and groundless charge, even if likely to fail, results in extreme harassment and hardship to an accused.It is submitted that request of the prosecution for framing a charge under Section 120-B read with Section 302 IPC against A-1 to A-5 for murder of deceased Jessica Lal is absolutely unwarranted, baseless and without any material on record.It is argued that though motive is not essential to be brought on record for establishing the commission of an offence, but in a case of conspiracy, motive is very material for the reason that it provides basis to the accused persons for entering into a conspiracy.It is argued that in the present case, the prosecution has no material to show that A-1 to A-5 had any enmity or ill will for planning murder of deceased Jessica Lal.According to learned counsel for the accused, the mere fact that prior to going to Tamarind Cafe, accused were together or that they were present at the Cafe or after the incident they escaped from the place of occurrence together, were not sufficient to draw an inference of criminal conspiracy.It is submitted that had the accused persons been in conspiracy to commit murder of Jessica Lal, they would not have waited for hours together at the Cafe before firing upon her.Moreover had the murder been preplanned and in furtherance of any conspiracy, the accused would not have allowed themselves to be seen by so many witnesses for such a long time and then shot at the deceased in full view of so many.Had there been a conspiracy, the accused, in normal course, would have ambushed her at a time and place where they could have found her alone and would have made every effort to conceal their identity.It is also argued that the telephonic conversations prior to the incident do not suggest any conspiracy as the accused might have been contacting each other for reaching the Cafe for having drinks and fun.In the absence of transcript of telephonic talks, no inference can be drawn that these telephonic calls were for hatching a conspiracy to murder the deceased.Their going to Cafe together and presence there are also not an incriminating circumstances.The fact that A-1 was carrying a weapon is also not a circumstance warranting any inference that the accused had gone to the Cafe to commit any murder.It was a licensed weapon and as such, A-1 had every right to keep it with him for his own protection.The argument of the State that at the time of the incident, none of the accused tried to prevent A-1 from firing at the deceased nor gave any help to her and they all escaped from the place of incident together, is also not enough to draw any inference of conspiracy.Learned counsel for the accused submit that evidence on record shows that there was no time gap between the first and second shot so as to enable A-2 to A-5 to prevent A-1 from firing the second shot towards deceased Jessica Lal.Like all others present at the spot, A-2 to A-5 also were taken aback and stunned.Since so many started running from the spot after the firing incident, A-2 to A-5 also escaped from there, which also is not incriminating circumstance to suggest any conspiracy.It is argued that A-2 to A-5 had not escorted A-1 out of the restaurant and had merely escaped from there along with him.Had they been escorting A-1 out of the restaurant, they would not have left the spot in their cars leaving A-1 to manage his own self because the evidence of the prosecution itself shows that A-1 came back from the spot on foot.It is also submitted that the first shot was fired by A-1 towards roof, which also shows that there was no conspiracy at all to commit murder of deceased Jessica Lal.Had there been any conspiracy, even the first shot would have been fired towards her.According to site plan, A-3, A-4 and A-5 were standing towards other side of the counter where the deceased Jessica Lal was itself that these three accused were standing in the same direction in which fire was shot by A-1 and as such, there was every chance that one of them could be hit by the said shot.It is submitted that the firing by A-1 was sudden and on account of such a trivial incident that A-2 to A-5 had no time or opportunity to prevent the firing.It is also argued that the prosecution has not been able to show any abnormal conduct on the part of the accused persons either before the incident, at the time of the incident of after the incident so as to suggest existence of a criminal conspiracy or common intention for murder of deceased Jessica Lal.The firing according to the prosecution evidence itself was quite sudden.Statement of P.W.42 Shiv Dass recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. categorically says ""EK DUM US I ADKE NE PISTOL NIKALI"", which negatives the existence of a common intention.According to him, prosecution has miserably failed to place on record any evidence that after the incident, A-1 and A-6 were in touch or that A-6 had done anything so as to render him liable under Section 201 IPC.Statement of P.W. A.K. Dutt that A-6 wanted to deliver some money to A-10 R.K.Sudan so that he may go back to U.S.A., is not at all an incriminating circumstance as the prosecution has not collected any evidence to show that A-10 R.K. Sudan was keen to go back to U.S.A. but his mother was not sick.He also submits that the prayer of the State to charge A-6 of all the offences is baseless.The argument of learned counsel for the State that Section 212 IPC is attracted against A-6 on the ground that he helped A-10 to escape from India, is not covered by Section 212 IPC as there is nothing on record to show that A-6 knew that A-10 was wanted for any offence.Arguing on behalf of A-3 Amardeep Singh Gill and A-4 Alok Khanna, Mr. I.U. Khan, Advocate has fully supported the arguments on behalf of the other accused that in the present case, there is not even an iota of evidence with the prosecution to show that there was any conspiracy between A-1 to A-5 for commission of an offence under Section 302 IPC nor there is any evidence to suggest that they shared any common intention for her murder.Learned counsel arguing in Crl.R.46/2001 on behalf of A-3 has prayed that he be discharged of the offences under Section 201 and 120-B IPC.According to him, A-4 had no telephonic talks with A-1 either prior to the occurrence or after the occurrence and as such, he had played on role at all and was not liable to be charged for any offence.There is no evidence against him under Section 212 IPC even and the removal of vehicle of A-1 from the spot did not attract Section 201 IPC as it did not amount to causing disappearance of the evidence.He also submits that the allegation of escorting A-1 out of the Cafe by A-2 to A-5 was not at all an incriminating piece of evidence as like many others, the accused were also moving out of the Cafe after the firing incident.It is submitted that mere fact that A-4 had given his car to A-3 for taking A-2 to the spot, does not link him with any offence under Section 201 IPC read with Section 120-B IPC because there is nothing with the prosecution to show that A-4 had given his car to A-3 knowing that the purpose of the visit was to remove the car of A-1 from the spot.The State of Haryana & Another, 1979 Crl.L.J. SC 857 and P.K.Narayanan Vs.State of Kerala, Crimes 1994(3) SC 850 to contend that existence of a criminal conspiracy cannot be inferred on the basis of suspicions, surmises or conjectures.For arguing that no offence under Section 201 read with Section 120-B IPC is made out against A-3 and A-4, he relies upon the judgments in Jogta Kikla Vs.The State, and Jit Singh & Others Vs.The State, .Mr. R.K.Naseem, Advocate appearing for accused No.5 Amit Jhingan has opposed the prayer of the State for framing charges under Section 302 read with Section 120-B and Section 34 IPC and charges under Sections 212 and 201 read with Section 120-B IPC against the accused on the ground that A-5 had not gone to the Cafe in question with the other accused and had reached there separately.After the incident even, he had not left the spot along with the other co-accused.The only allegation against him is that at the time of firing, he was standing near the deceased along with A-3 and A-4 and at about 4.00 a.m. on the asking of A-3 on telephone, he had gone to the house of A-3 in his gypsy and thereafter he had taken A-1 and A-2 to the Cottage Emporium for retrieval of the weapon of offence.Learned counsel for A-5 submits that there is no evidence whatsoever on record that A-5 knew A-1 prior to the incident and his mere presence in the party on that day does not suggest that he was in any conspiracy with A-1 to A-4 for commission of the offence of murder.He also argues that except disclosure statements, which cannot be read in evidence, there is nothing with prosecution to prove the visit of A-1 and A-2 to Handloom Emporium for retrieval of pistol.Relying upon a rough note alleged to be in the handwriting of SI Sunil Kumar, it is argued by learned counsel for A-5 that Special Public Prosecutor had been guiding the investigations and on his behest, supplementary statements of some p.ws.were recorded.He submits that when such padding was being done by the Investigators, the statements under Section 161 Cr.P.C. cannot be taken as gospel truth.According to him, pistol of A-1 was already with the Investigators much before arrest of A-1 and as such, the entire prosecution case in regard to disappearance of the weapon of offence and the conspiracy in respect of retrieval thereof is a crude fabrication.Referring to the site plan placed on record, learned counsel has argued that the story regarding its concealment near Cottage Emporium is preposterous on the face of it as A-1 could not have dared to pass in from of Tomarind Cafe after the incident merely with a view to conceal his pistol near Cottage Emporium.Mr. R.K. Garg, Advocate appearing on behalf of accused No.12 Raja Chopra has prayed for allowing his Crl.R.619/2001 and discharging A-12 for the offence under Section 212 IPC.It is submitted that A-12 has been charged under Section 212 IPC on the ground that he had sent his car from Chandigarh to help A-1 to escape from Delhi, but a certificate issued by the Transport Department shows that this car had already been sold by A-12 to M/s. Piccadly Agro of which A-1 was also a Director.Therefore, in the absence of some other evidence, it cannot be inferred that A-12 had sent this car to Delhi for taking A-1 to some other place.It is also submitted that the prosecution has not placed on record any evidence whatsoever to show that A-12 knew anything about the involvement of A-1 in this offence and as such, had any knowledge of A-1 in this offence and as such, had any knowledge or reason to believe that he was an offender.The State of Himachal Pradesh, .Dilip Nathumal Chordia Another, are the words of caution for the revisional Courts.If upon consideration of the material on record, documents and sorrounding facts and circumstances of the case the Trial Judge considers that there are no sufficient grounds for proceeding against an accused he is under duty to order his discharge under Section 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.However, if upon the consideration of the material on record the Judge is of the opinion that there are grounds for presuming that the accused has committed the offence, he is under a legal obligation U/S 228 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to frame a charge against him and put him on trial.The law as to under what circumstances the Courts should pass an order under Section 228 of the Code for framing a charge and on what ground a discharge should be ordered under Section 227 of the code has been the subject matter of deep deliberations by the High Courts as well as Apex Court in a number of cases.Leading judgments on the question are in Century Spinning & Manufacturing Co. Ltd. Vs.The State of Maharashtra, 1972 Crl.L.J. 329, Malkhan Singh & Another Vs.The State of Uttar Pradesh, , State of Bihar Vs.Ramesh Singh , , Union of India Vs.Prafulla Kumar Samal & Another, , Rambilas Singh & Others Vs.State of Bihar, , Niranjan Singh Karam Singh Punjabi, Advocate Vs.Jitendra Bhimraj Bijja & Others, , Stree Atyachar Virodhi Parishad Vs.Dilip Nathumal Chordia & Another, , State of Maharashtra etc. Vs.Som Nath Thapa etc., 1996 Crl.L.J. 2448, Satish Mehra Vs.Delhi Administration & Another, 1996 (5) SCALE 523 and Sumitra Banik Vs.(f) Failure of A-2 to A-5 to stop or prevent A-1 from firing the second shot towards the deceased;(g) Escorting out of A-1 by his co-accused A-2 to A-5;(h) Their escape from the spot together without doing anything to help the deceased, inform the police or to suggest that they had disassociated themselves from A-1 ;(i) Meeting again at the house of A-3 and planning to retrieve the Tat Safari of A-1 from the spot;(j) Exchange of telephonic calls after the incident;(k) Retrieval of the weapon used in the offence and(l) Harbouring A-1 and helping him to escape from Delhi.Learned Additional Sessions Judge for the reasons given in para 22 of the impugned order declined to charge A-1 to A-5 under Section 120B of Section 302 or Sections 302/34 IPC.There is no doubt about the legal proposition that for proving a criminal conspiracy prosecution is seldom in a position to place before the Courts any direct evidence.conspiracies are hatched in secrecy and as such are usually proved by circumstantial evidence alone.However, the law is well settled that for establishing a criminal conspiracy the prosecution must place on record some connecting link or connecting evidence of meeting of the minds of the conspirators for achieving a particular object.Motive may not be important for proving a criminal offence where ocular evidence is available, but in the case of a conspiracy, motive provides the basis for joining of hands by the conspirators.The facts relevant for inferring a conspiracy and kind of evidence required to be placed before the Courts were discussed in detail by Their lordships of the Supreme Court in the judgments reported in Hardeo Singh Vs.State of Bihar & Others 2000 Crl.L.J. 2978, Rajesh Govind Jagesha Vs.Nalini & Others, and Kehar Singh & Others Vs.The State (Delhi Administration), .The ingredients of Section 34 IPC were discussed in 2000 Crl.L.J. 380 (Supra).In the light of the principles governing the framing of a charge under Section 228 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the evidence required for proving the offence under Section 120B IPC and common intention under Section 34 IPC, this Court is of the considered view that the prosecution has not at all succeeded in placing on record any material on the basis of which the Court can come to a conclusion that there are grounds to presume that A-1 to A-5 had entered into a conspiracy.The scales weighing the material on record are not evenly balanced but are clearly tilted in favor of the accused for the reason that for entertaining a suspicion even the Court must have some material on record.Baseless suspicion, imaginary inferences and groundless conjectures are to be discarded by a discerning judicial eye.The reasons for the above conclusions are that the accused A-1 to A-5 are not shown to be having any ill will, motive or reason for the murder of deceased Jessica Lal.Their meeting and telephonic talks before reaching Tamarind Court cafe, where the incident took place are not shown to be for hatching a conspiracy.The circumstances suggest that they were only planning an evening for fun and frolic.The carrying of a loaded pistol by A-1 to the spot is also not suggestive of any criminal design because it was a licensed pistol and he had every right to keep it on his person for his own defense.Even if his co-accused knew that he was carrying a loaded pistol, although there is no cogent evidence on this point, they had no reasons to panic or doubt his intentions because it was not an unlawful arm.There is no ground to presume that pistol was loaded on way to Cafe in the presence of A-2 to A-5. A-1 to A-5 reached the place of incident at about 11.30 PM whereas the firing took p;lace at about 2.00 AM.Had the accused been in conspiracy to murder Jessica Lal, they would not have remained at the spot for about two and a half hrs.before killing her so as to expose themselves to the eye of persons present in the party.Moreover had there been any conspiracy A-1 would not have fired inside the restaurant and in the presence of hundreds of people inviting abundant ocular evidence against him and his co-accused.He could have waited for the time and opportunity when she could be found alone either going out of the Cafe or on her way to her house so that the offence could he committed in secrecy.Therefore, the case as laid is suggestive of absence of conspiracy and not existence of a criminal conspiracy.The subsequent conduct of the accused persons in escaping together or thereafter meeting at the house of A-3 to plan retrieval of the car or the weapon of offence or the harbouring of A-1 is also not suggestive of any conspiracy to murder.Support to A-1 after the incident may render the accused liable for different offences but not at all for conspiracy under Section 120B IPC read with Section 302 IPC.The prosecution evidence as placed on record does not suggest the sharing of common intention even as required under Section 34 IPC for the murder of deceased Jessica Lal.A perusal of the statements of the eye witnesses, site plan and other material on record clearly suggests that the firing was sudden.There is nothing on record to suggest that between first and second shot there was enough time gap so as to enable A-2 to A-5 to prevent or over-power A-1 from firing a second shot. A-2 to A-5 could not have even anticipated that a second shot would be fired towards deceased Jessica Lal.In the statement of PW 42 Shiv Dass recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. it has clearly come that A-1 had at once taken out his pistol and fired.One factor which goes very much against the charge under Section 34 IPC is the statements of the witnesses as well as the site plan of the place of incident, which show that at the time of firing A-1 was towards one side of the bar and his co-accused A-2 to A-5 were towards the other side and there was a counter in between.A-3, A-4 and A-5 were standing near the deceased.It shows that the bullet fired by A-1 was in the direction of not only deceased Jessica Lal but his friends A-3, A-4 and A-5 also who were standing near her.Had there been any common intention between A-1 and his co-accused present at the spot, he could not have fired in the direction where his friends were also standing in as much as the bullet could have hit any one of them.Since it is shown that A-1 was on the other side of the counter and his other co-accused were on the other side thereof, there was no chance for them to prevent A-1 from firing a second shot towards deceased Jessica Lal.There is no act of commission or ommission attributable to A-2 to A-5 to invoke Section 34 IPC against them.The Court is, therefore, of the considere",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+" material and circumstances placed on record by the prosecution do not at all suggest that the firing was as a result of any criminal conspiracy between A-1 to A-5 or they shared any common intention attracting Section 34 of the IPC.Even if A-3 knew Jessica Lal from before and was found talking to her some time between 11.30 p.m. to 2.00 a.m. it is not at all a circumstance for presuming any conspiracy or common intention to kill her because nothing has come on record that any of the accused had any motive or ill will for killing her.The State is highly aggrieved by the discharge of accused No.6 Shyam Sunder and prays for framing of charges under Section 201/212 IPC against him.Learned counsel for the State has argued that the disclosure statement made by A-1 led to the """"discovery of the fact"""" that after the incident the weapon used in the offence was handed over by A-1 to A-10 R.K. Sudan.The statement of PW Ashok Kumar Dutt and the tape recorded conversation between A.K. dutt and accused R.K. Sudan raise strong suspicion against A-6 that the weapon of offence was handed over to him by A-10 R.K. Sudan and thereafter A-6 gave him some money and arranged that he left India without any delay.It is submitted that if A-10 had fallen into the hands of the police", he would have disclosed that he had handed over the weapon to A-6 and then it would have been possible for the police to effect the recovery thereof.He submits that weapon of offence was very material in this case as it was a licensed weapon and if bullets fired at the spot could be linked to this weapon it would have been a clinching piece of incriminating evidence against A-1, learned counsel for A-6 has controverter the submissions made by learned counsel for the State and has opposed the prayer for framing any charge against A-6 on the ground that in the absence of the recovery of the weapon of offence the disclosure statement of A-1 cannot be considered.It is pointed out that the financial assistance given by A-6 to A-10 for going back to USA, even if believed, does not show that A-6 knew the involvement of A-10 in any offence.It is also argued that taped conversation between PW A.K. Dutt and A-10 is hit by Section 24 of the Evidence Act. He submits that prosecution has not placed on record anything to show that the mother of A-10 was not sick and it was for that reason only that A-6 had given him financial help for going back to USA immediately.After considering the disclosure statement of A-1, the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of PW A.K. Dutt and the transcript of the telephonic conversation between A.K. Dutt and A-10 R.K. Sudan, I am of the considered view that there are good and sufficient grounds for holding that a strong suspicion exists against A-6 for charging him under Section 201 IPC as well as 212 IPC.This taped telephonic conversation suggests at least prima facie that A-6 knew as to where the weapon of offence had gone.A-10 who had left India could not possibly take it out of India and as such the only person in whose contact he was before leaving Indian was A-6 with whom he spent some time at Manali also after receiving the weapon from A-1 at Delhi.The over-anxiety demonstrated by A-6 to see that A-10 goes out of Indian and the financial support given by him are suggestive of his apprehension that in case A-10 gets arrested by the police he may disclose the whereabouts of the weapon of offence and the role played by A-6 in the whole transaction.The telephonic talk between PW A.K. Dutt and accused No. 10 R.S. Sudan does not appear to be hit by Section 24 of the Evidence Act in as much as inducement even if any was not proceeding from a person in authority.A-10 did not know even that this telephonic call was being recorded by the police.He also ought to have been charged under Section 212 IPC for the reason that the material on record clearly suggests that he had helped A-10 R.K. Sudan to move out of India knowing that he was also likely to be arrested in this case in as much as he had helped A-1 regarding disappearance of weapon of offence which was a material piece of evidence for the prosecution.The prayer of the State that A-2 to A-5 should have been charged under Section 212 of the IPC for harbouring A-1 as they had escorted him out of the restaurant cannot be accepted.The statements of the witnesses recorded by the prosecution do not at all suggest that A-2 to A-5 had given any assistance or help to A-1 for escaping from the place of incident.The statements of PW Bina Ramani and some other witnesses merely show that after the shooting incident, when there was utter commotion in the restaurant, A-1 as well as A-2 to A-5 simply headed towards the exit gate and thereafter left the spot.Moreover, the prosecution case itself is that after the shooting incident A-1 was left alone outside the Cafe whereas his other co-accused moved away in their own vehicles.A-1 had to come to the house of A-3 on foot leaving his own vehicle at the spot.This circumstance negatives the prosecution allegation that A-1 was harboured by A-2 to A-5 in the matter of escaping from the spot.Thus the learned Trial Judge was justified in not framing a charge against A-2 to A-5 under Section 212 of the IPC.Learned counsel for the State has further contended that A-4 also ought to have been charged under Section 120B read with Section 201 IPC on account of his role in the retrieval of the Tata Safari of A-1 from the spot.The prosecution evidence strongly suggests that a conspiracy for the removal of Tata Safari from the spot was hatched at the residence of A-3 where A-4 had also come.It is true that A-4 did not accompany A-2 and A-3 to the spot for the removal of Tata Safari but the prosecution evidence shows that he had provided his own Tata Seira to them for the purpose.In view of the fact that A-4 had seen A-1 shooting at the spot, had reached the house of A-3 after the incident and thereafter had given his vehicle also to A-2 and A-3 for the removal of Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of incident raises a strong suspicion against him that he was also a party to the conspiracy and as such he ought to have been charged under Section 120B read with Section 201 IPC.According to him, mere removal of the vehicle from one place to another did not make the vehicle disappear and as such no charge ought to have been framed in this regard.Therefore in the present case when accused A-1 to A-4 in furtherance of their conspiracy removed the Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of incident and placed it some where else they prima facie committed an offence under Section 120B read with Section 201 IPC for the reason that they caused a material piece of evidence to disappear from the eyes of the investigators.It cannot be disputed that this Tata Safari was a material piece of evidence for the prosecution in as much as its recovery from the spot would have made it easier for the police to trace out and then link A-1 with the offence.Thus a charge in (SIC) against A-1 to A-4 in this behalf.The plea of the prosecution that A-1 to A-5 ought to have been charged under Section 120B read with Section 201 of the IPC for removal and disappearance of the weapon of offence is not sustainable for the simple reason that except the disclosure statement of the accused prosecution has no evidence whatsoever to show that after the incident and in furtherance of a conspiracy A-1, A-2 and A-5 had gone to the spot near Cottage Emporium, Mehrauli and retrieved the weapon of offence.Disclosure statements made by the accused are not admissible in evidence in the absence of any recovery.The prosecution has no other evidence to show that they had gone there for retrieving the weapon of offence.However, in the case in hand the trial is still to be held and at the stage of framing a charge the Court has to see as to whether there exist grounds or not for raising a strong suspicion against A-12 in regard to the commission of an offence under Section 212 of the IPC.The evidence required for conviction is not to be insisted upon at this stage.As observed herein before since A-12 was very close to A-1 being the Director in a company in which A-1 was also a Director, it can be reasonably inferred that the car of A-12 was sent to A-1 for picking him up from Delhi and A-12 knew or had reason to believe that A-12 was involved in an offence and the Car was sent to screen him from legal punishment.The commission of offence as defined in Section 52(a) of the Act was by providing a Car and the knowledge or reason to believe that A-1 was the offender.In the course of arguments Sh.(a) The prayer of the State for charging A-1 to A-5 under Section 120-B for an offence under Section 302 IPC and A-2 to A-5 under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder of Jessica Lal is declined.(b) Accused No.1 Sidharth Vashisht @ Manu Sharma was charged by the Trial Court under Section 302 IPC for the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal, 201 read with Section 120B IPC for conspiracy for removal of his vehicle from the spot, Section 27 of the Arms Act and Section 201 read with Section 34 IPC for the replacement of the glass pane of Tata Safari.The State had prayed that he should be charged under Section 120B read with Section 302 IPC also as there was a conspiracy to commit the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal.The State had urged before this Court for framing charges against him under Section 302 read with Section 120B IPC and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal and also under Section 212 IPC for harbouring A-1 out of the Cafe after the incident.This accused had filed Crl.Revision petition No.47/2001 praying for his discharge for all the offences.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order, the prayer of the State, for framing additional charges against him as stated above is declined.The Crl.Revision Petition filed by the petitioner challenging the framing of the charge under Section 201 read with Section 34 in regard to the replacement of glass pan of the vehicle of A-1 is allowed and he is discharged for the commission of the said offence.(d) Accused No.3 Amarjit Singh @ Tony Gill was charged by the Trial Court under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC in regard to conspiracy and removal of the vehicle of A-1 from the place of incident.The State had prayed for framing charges under Section 302 read with Section 120B, 302 read with Section 34 IPC against him for the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal and also under Section 212 of the IPC for harbouring A-1 out of the Cafe.This petitioner had filed Crl.Revision petition No.46/2001 challenging the framing of the charge under Section 201/120B IPC against him.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order, the prayer of the state for framing additional charges against him is declined.The prayer of the petitioner for discharging him for the offence under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC is also declinest.His Crl.Revision Petition stands dismissed.(e) Accused No.4 Alok Khanna was discharged by Trial Court of all the offences.The State in its Crl.revision petition No.596/2000 has challenged the (SIC) order passed by the learned Trial Judge and has prayed for framing charges against him under Section 302 read with Section 120B IPC and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Jesicca Lal.The State also prays that he be charged for offences under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC for the conspiracy and removal of the Tata Safari Car of A-1 from the spot.It is also prayed that he be charged under Section 212 IPC also for harbouring A-1 by way of escorting him out of cafe after the incident.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order, the prayer of the State of the State for charging A-4 under Section 212 of the IPC is declined.However, the revision petition filled by the State is allowed to the extent that A-4 shall be charged under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC for conspiracy and removal of the Car of A-1 from the place of incident.(f) Learned Trial Judge had discharged accused No.5 Amit Jingen of all the offences.The state in its revision petition had prayed for framing of the charges against him under Section 302/120B, 302/34 IPC, 201/120B IPC retrieval of the pistol of A-1 and 212 IPC for escorting A-1 out of the cafe after the firing incident.His discharge by Trial Court is upheld.(g) Accused No.6 Shyam Sunder was discharged for all the offences by the learned Trial Judge.The State in its revision petition has prayed for charging him under Section 201 read with Section 120B for conspiracy and disapprearance of the weapon of offence.It is also prayed that he b charged under Section 212 of the IPC also for harbouring A-10 R.K.Sudan by way of assisting him to escape from

accused asappellant has filed Criminal Appeal No.495 of 2007 on the file of this Court.On 19.01.2006 the father of PWs.2 and 3 has gone out.On the same day atabout 12.30 pm, while PWs.2 and 3 and their mother (deceased) are in theirhouse, all the accused have come with deadly weapons and hurled invectives byusing filthy words against the deceased and all of a sudden they attacked herindiscriminately and subsequently the complainant has taken the deceased toSakthi hospital by using an ambulance van and after some time she passed away.The entire complaint alleged to have been givenby PW1 has been marked as Ex.P7 by the Sub Inspector of Police, who registeredthe same in Crime No.87 of 2006 under Sections 341, 294(b), 324 and 307 of theIndian Penal Code.As pointed out earlier, PW1 has not supported the case of theprosecution.The specific evidence given by PW2 is that the occurrence has takenplace on 19.01.2006 at about 12.30 pm., and prior to occurrence, she, herbrother (PW3), mother(deceased) and senior paternal uncle (PW4) are in theirhouse and at that time all the accused have come there by using an Auto withdeadly weapons and the first accused has hurled invectives against her mother(deceased) by using filthy words and all of them have attacked her mother andsubsequently PW1 has taken her mother to Sakthi hospital through an ambulancevan.As stated earlier, PW3, Nagarajan is the youngerbrother of PW2 and PW4, Chinnadurai is the senior paternal uncle of PWs.2 and 3.PWs.3 and 4 have categorically stated in their evidence that on 19.01.2006 atabout 12.30 pm., all the accused have come to the place of occurrence by usingan Auto and suddenly they attacked the deceased by using deadly weapons.The intimation given to police has been marked as Ex.P9 and AccidentRegister has been marked as Ex.The doctor who conducted necropsy has also been examined as PW10 andhe found the following injuries:(1) Abrasions back of left elbow 4x2cm;(L) knee 4x2 cm; (2) Clean-cut injury, base of left thumb x entire circumstance, the distalportion of the finger is missing.(3)Vertical incised wound (L) breast, above the nipple, 7x.5x.5 cm.(4)Two transverse

blunt.The postmortem certificate given by PW10 has been marked as Ex.Further PW10has opined that ""the deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhagedue to heavy cut injury in the right forearm.""The trial Court after considering the evidence given by PWs.2 to 4, 9and 10 and other connected witnesses has invited conviction and sentence againstall the accused as stated supra.The learned counsel appearing for the appellants have uniformlycontended that the specific case of the prosecution is that the occurrence hastaken place at about 12.30 pm., on 19.01.2006 and the First Information Reporthas been given on 2.30 pm., on the same day and further PW9 has not specificallystated the name of the person(s) who brought the deceased to Sakthi hospital andon the date of occurrence, PWs.2 and 3 are not in their house and in short, theyare not eye witnesses and even in Ex.P7, the complaint, presence of PW4 has notbeen stated.Likewise, in the inquest report (Ex.P18) presence of PW1 alone hasbeen stated and presence of PWs.2 to 4 have not at all been stated and further,from the evidence of PW2 the Court can easily discern that after the attacksmade by the accused on the person of the deceased she has fallen down and oneKanaga has given water to her.But she has not been examined.Further, PW9has categorically admitted in his evidence that he has given intimation to thepolice under Ex.P9 at about 12.55 pm., But he has been examined by theInvestigating Officer on the same day at about 1.00 pm., Further Ex.P7 has beensent to Court very belatedly without proper explanation and the trial Courtwithout considering the fact that the entire case of the prosecution bristleswith vital infirmities, has erroneously invited conviction and sentence againstall the accused under Sections 341, and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code andtherefore, the conviction and sentence passed by the trial Court against all theaccused are liable to be set aside.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has contendedthat in the instant case even though the complainant (PW1) has become a hostilewitness, the prosecution has clearly established the alleged guilt of theaccused punishable under Sections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code byway of examining PWs.2 to 4 and in fact their evidence has been clearlycorroborated by medical evidence by way of examining PWs.9 and 10 and furtherthe prosecution has given clear explanation for not seizing bloodstained earthand sample earth from the place of occurrence and further mere delay in sendingthe First Information to Court is not fatal to the case of the prosecution andthe trail Court after considering the overwhelming evidence available on record,has rightly invited conviction and sentence against all the accused underSections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code and therefore, theconviction and sentence passed by the trial Court are not liable to beinterfered with.The first and foremost attack made on the side of the appellants isthat the specific evidence given by PW9 is that he admitted the deceased inSakthi hospital at 12.55 pm., and immediately he has given intimation to policestation and he has been examined by the concerned Inspector of Police on thesame day by 1.00 o' clock, whereas, Ex.P7 has been registered on the same day atabout 2.30 pm.It is seen from the evidence given by PW9 that he admitted thedeceased on 19.01.2006 at about 12.55 pm., Further he deposed to the effect thatimmediately he has given intimation to the concerned police and the concernedInspector of Police has examined him at 1.00 pm., It is an admitted fact thatEx.P7, complaint has been registered on 19.01.2006 at about 2.30 pm.Since Ex.P7has been registered on 19.01.2006 at about 2.30 pm.it is highly impossible onthe part of the Investigating Officer (PW12) to examine PW9 on 19.01.2006 atabout 1.00 o' clock.Therefore, the evidence given by PW9 to that aspect isnothing but a slip of tongue and the same cannot be given effect to.FurtherPW12 has clearly stated in his evidence that he visited hospital on the same dayat about 3.30 pm and examined PW9 and other connected witnesses.Therefore, thefirst and foremost contention put forth on the side of the appellants/accused isof no use.The second/vital attack made on the side of the appellants/accused isthat in the instant case, PWs.2 and 3 are the children of the deceased and bothof them are school going children and the occurrence has taken place on19.01.2006 at about 12.30 pm., and since both of them are school going children,definitely they would not have seen the occurrence and further in the inquestreport, presence of PW1 has not been stated and in Ex.P7, complaint presence ofPW4 has not been stated and therefore, the prosecution has virtually failed toadduce proper evidence with regard to alleged occurrence and the trial Court hasfailed to look into the same.As stated earlier, PWs.2 and 3 are the children of the deceased andPW4 is their senior paternal uncle.In the evidence given by PW2 it has beenclearly stated that on 19.01.2006 morning she attended school.But due toillness, she left the school and arrived home.The evidence of PW3 is that dueto illness on 19.01.2006 he has not attended school.Apart fromthe evidence given by DW1, on the side of the accused, Ex.D1 has been marked.D1 is a xerox copy of attendance register, wherein it has been clearly statedthat on 19.01.2006, PW2 has been absent.At this juncture, a faint attempt hasbeen made on the side of the appellants/accused to the effect that in Ex.It is an admitted factthat Ex.D1 is a document marked on the side of the appellants/accused.Therefore, viewing from any angle, thesecond/vital attack made on the side of the appellants/accused is sans merit.The third attack made on the side of the appellants/accused is that inEx.likewise, in Ex.P7 complaint, presence of PW4 is not foundplace.For the purpose of deciding the above aspects put forth on the side ofthe appellants/accused, it is very much essential to rely upon the recisionreported in (2011)6 Supreme Court Cases 288 [Brahm Swaroop and another Vs.Stateof Uttar Pradesh], wherein at paragraph - 10 it is observed as follows:The basic purpose of holding an inquest is to report regarding theapparent cause of death, namely, whether it is suicidal, homicidal, accidentalor by some machinery, etc. It is, therefore, not necessary to enter all thedetails of the overt acts in the inquest report.Evidence of eyewitnesses cannotbe discarded if their names do not figure in the inquest report prepared at theearliest point of time.The inquest report cannot be treated as substantiveevidence but may be utilised for contradicting the witnesses of inquest.""Even from a cursory look of the decision referred to supra, it iseasily discernible to the effect that mere non-mentioning of names of witnessesin an inquest report is not fatal to the case of the prosecution and furtherinquest report is not a substantive piece of evidence so as to believe the caseof the prosecution and further it is also equally a settled principle of lawthat mere non-mentioning of names of witnesses in the complaint would notmilitate the case of the prosecution and further it is an archaic principle oflaw that in the First Information Report all details of alleged overtacts by theconcerned accused and all details of persons who witnessed the occurrence neednot be minutely stated.Therefore, viewing from any angle, the third attack madeon the side of the appellants/accused goes out without merit.The fourth contention put forth on the side of the appellants/accusedis that the specific evidence given by PW2 is that after attacks alleged to havebeen made by all the accused on the person of the deceased, she has fallen downand one Kanaga has given water to her.But the prosecution has not chosen toexamine her and therefore, the prosecution has not come forward with genuinecase and the trial Court has failed to look into the said aspect.It is seen from the evidence given by PW2 to the effect that afterattacks alleged to have been made by all the accused, the deceased has fallendown and immediately one Kanaga has given water to her.But as rightly pointedout on the side of the appellants/accused, the said Kanaga has not been examinedas one of the prosecution witnesses and further no explanation has been givenwith regard to her non-examination.It has already been pointed out that PWs.2 to 4 have given cogent andtrustworthy evidence so as to prove the alleged guilt of the accused punishableunder Sections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.Since in the instantcase the prosecution has adduced evidence in plenitude with regard to motive anddetails of attacks alleged to have been made by all the accused, mere non-examination of the said Kanaga would not affect the case of the prosecution.In Ex.P2 it has been clearly stated that PW12 has reachedthe place of occurrence at about 3.30 pm and before his arrival, the place ofoccurrence has been bestrown and also daubed by using dung water.Since in Ex.It has already been pointed out that PW12, Investigating Officer hasreached the place of occurrence on 19.01.2006 at about 3.30 pm., and in Ex.Therefore, the said contention put forth on the side of theappellants/accused is also sans merit.The seventh contention put forth on the side of theappellants/accused is to the effect that a vital discrepancy has been inexistence with regard to injuries sustained by the deceased betwixt the evidenceof PWs.9 and 10 and the trial Court has failed to look into the same.As pointed out earlier, PW9 who admitted the deceased initially inSakthi hospital has found three injuries on her person.But PW10, the doctor whoconducted autopsy has found six injuries.Simply because a mere discrepancy withregard to number of injuries sustained by the deceased is in existence inbetween the evidence of PWs.9 and 10, the Court cannot reject or eschew theconsistent and cogent evidence given by PWs.2 and 3 for disbelieving the versionof the prosecution.In the instant case, PWs.2 to 4 have cogently and consistently statedin their evidence to the effect that in the place of occurrence all the accusedhave attacked the deceased by using deadly weapons indiscriminately.The eighth contention put forth on the side of the appellants/accusedis that Ex.Any defect in the preparation of the inquestreport by the investigating officer cannot lead to an inference that the FIR wasnot registered at the alleged time.The FIR contains all the essential featuresof the prosecution's case including names of eyewitnesses, time and place ofincident, names of the victim, motive, name of the accused persons, weapons intheir hands and manner of assault.Thus, all these things lend a seal ofassurance not only to the presence of eyewitnesses at the place of the incident,but also to the participation of the appellants in the crime.Therefore, viewing from any angle, the saidcontention put forth on the side of the appellants/accused are not havingattractive force.The trial Court after considering the overwhelming evidence availablein the present case, has rightly invited conviction and sentence against all theappellants/accused under Sections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.In view of the foregoing elucidation of both the factual and legal premise, thisCourt has not found any acceptable force in the contentions put forth on theside of the appellants/accused and altogether the present Criminal Appeals areliable to be dismissed.In fine, these Criminal Appeals deserve dismissal and accordingly aredismissed.The conviction and sentence dated 23.02.2007 passed in Sessions

+"Sukhnandan responded by shouting - what was the matter? At this, the accused ran away leaving the bleeding and weeping girl behind.Suman was taken home, where she narrated the incident to her mother Savitri Bai (P.W. 2).Savitri Bai applied pads over the bleeding private parts of Suman, Sukhnandan contacted the village patel, arranged for a bullock cart and took Suman to the Police Station Unnai, situated at a distance of 11 Kms.JUDGMENT R.C. Lahoti, J.The accused/appellant has been held guilty of an offence punishable under Sections 376/511 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for two years with a fine of Rs. 500/- and further rigorous imprisonment for 3 months, in default of payment of fine.An amount of Rs. 400/-, out of the fine realised, has been directed to be paid as compensation to Suman Bai the prosecutrix.Savitri Bai (P.W. 2) is the widow of Sukhnandan.Suman, who was aged about 9 yearns at the time of the incident, is her daughter.Sukhnandan was alive at the time of the incident, but died during the trial and could not be examined as a witness.Sukhnandan used to run a flour-mill at the outskirts of the village and near the fields.It is alleged that on 26-8-81 at about 5 p.m., Suman went to the flour-mill to relieve her father Sukhnandan so as to enable him taking his meals.Sukhnandan went home, leaving Suman alone at the flour-mill, for keeping a watch.The accused/appellant taking advantage of loneliness approached the innocent girl with an indecent offer, which she naturally declined.The accused/appellant overpowered by his lust, forcibly dragged Suman towards the fields and made her lie down behind the thick bushes of Babool and Chhola.With one hand he kept Suman lying on the ground forcibly and with the other hand he removed the undergarments of Suman as also the undergarments of his own.Then he committed rape on Suman.Suman pierced a cry.She started bleeding profusely.Her cry was heard by Sukhnandan, who had returned to the flour-mill by that time.where Suman lodged the F.I.R., Ex. P/1, at 11.20 p.m.Suman was referred for medical examination.She was examined by Dr. (Mrs.) Dipika Chaudhary, Lady Assistant Surgeon at the Female Hospital Datia.She found the girl to be 9 years of age.The sex characters were not developed.Marks of violence were not seen over the body.Labia majora and minor a were not still developed.Fresh blood was oozing out from torn hymen.Vagina admitted only the tip of the little finger with difficulty.On account of pain, Suman did not permit P/V examination.Dr. (Mrs.) Chaudhry could not give a definite opinion about rape by mere clinical examination.However, she prepared slide of the vaqinal swab, also seized the underwear and pads of the victim and delivered them to the Police, after sealing them, for chemical examination.The Chemical Examiner in his report, dt. 31-12-1981 (Ex. P/7) confirmed the presence of blood on the slide, underwear and pads, but seminal stains and spermotozoa could not be detected over them.The Serologist also confirmed the presence of human blood on the underwear and pads.He was promptly referred for medical examination.But nothing incriminating could be found on his person, though he was found sexually capable.Needless to say that by the time the accused was medically examined, about one and a half month had elapsed from the date of the incident.On completion of usual investigation, the accused/appellant was challaned and charged under Section 376, I.P.C.

+"a)P.W.1 is the son of the deceased Kamala.The accused is the brother ofthe deceased.They are the residents of Velanoor.In respect of an enjoyment ofporamboke land, there has been all along quarrel and tussle between the accusedand the deceased.P.W.1 was actually employed in Madras.During the relevanttime, he came to his native place and on the date of occurrence, he wasavailable in his native place.b)On 31.5.2003 at about 4.15 p.m., P.W.1 and his mother had travelled in amini bus to Keelakarai and in the same bus, the accused was also travelling andthey were sitting apart.When the bus was nearing the house of one Selvakumar,the accused suddenly sprang on the deceased with aruval and attacked herindiscriminately and she died instantaneously inside the bus itself.Immediately, the accused got down from the bus and ran away.c)P.W.1 immediately proceeded to the respondent police station and gaveEx.P.1, the report to P.W.16, the Sub Inspector of Police at about 17.30 hourson 31.5.2003, on the basis of which, a case came to be registered by therespondent police in Crime No.191 of 2003 under Section 302 IPC.Ex.P.12, theFIR was despatched to the concerned Judicial Magistrate Court.d)P.W.17, the Inspector of Police, on receipt of the copy of the FIR, tookup the investigation, proceeded to the spot and made an inspection in thepresence of the witnesses.He prepared Ex.P.3, the observation mahazar andEx.P.14, the rough sketch.He recovered material objects from the place ofoccurrence under a cover of mahazar.(The judgment of the Court was made by M.CHOCKALINGAM, J.) Challenging the judgment of the learned Principal Sessions Judge,Ramanathapuram made in S.C.No.39 of 2004, the sole accused/appellant, on beingfound guilty under Section 302 IPC and awarded life imprisonment and to pay afine of Rs.10,000/-, in default to undergo six months RI, has brought forth thiscriminal appeal.2.The short facts necessary for the disposal of this appeal are asfollows:Then, he conducted inquest on the dead bodyof the deceased in the presence of the witnesses and panchayatdars and preparedEx.P.13, the inquest report.Following the same, the dead body of the deceasedwas sent to the Government Hospital, Keelakarai for the purpose of autopsy alongwith a requisition.e)P.W.8, the Doctor attached to the Government Hospital, Keelakarai, onreceipt of the requisition, has conducted autopsy on the dead body of thedeceased.He has issued Ex.P.5, the post-mortem certificate, wherein he hasopined that the deceased would appear to have died of injury to spinal cord andinjury to major blood vessels of neck 12 to 18 hours prior to autopsy.He filed an application for policecustody and the same was ordered.On 14.6.2003, the accused voluntarily gave aconfessional statement, which was marked as Ex.Pursuant to the same, theaccused produced M.O.1 aruval, which was recovered in the presence of thewitnesses under a cover of mahazar.All the M.Os recovered from the place ofoccurrence, from the dead body of the deceased and the material object recoveredfrom the accused pursuant to the confessional statement were subjected tochemical analysis by the Forensic Science Department, which resulted in tworeports.P.6 is the Chemical Examiner's report and Ex.P.7 is the Serologist'sreport.g)P.W.18, the Inspector of Police took up further investigation of thecase.On completion of the investigation, he filed the final report before theCourt.3.The case was committed to the court of sessions and necessary chargeswere framed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution has marched18 witnesses and relied on 14 exhibits and 9 M.Os.On completion of the evidenceon the side of the prosecution, the accused was questioned procedurally underSection 313 Cr.P.C as to the incriminating circumstance found in the evidence ofprosecution witnesses, which he flatly denied as false.No defence witness wasexamined.The trial court heard the arguments advanced on either side and took aview that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and foundthe accused guilty under Section 302 IPC and awarded life imprisonment, which isthe subject matter of challenging before this Court.4.Advancing his arguments on behalf of the appellant, the learned counselwould submit that in the instant case, the prosecution rested its case on directevidence of 6 witnesses, which according to the prosecution are theeyewitnesses, out of 6 eyewitnesses, P.Ws.2 to 6 have turned hostile; that theonly evidence available for the prosecution was the evidence of P.W.1; thatinsofar as P.W.1 was concerned, he is none else than the son of the deceased;that when the test of careful scrutiny was applied, his evidence did not standthe test; that the lower court has accepted the test, which was thoroughly indeviation of the prosecution case; that the occurrence has taken place in arunning bus; and that if to be so, at least one of the independent witnesseswould have come forward to speak the prosecution case, but all of them haveturned hostile, which would clearly indicate that they have not witnessed theoccurrence and they have been added as witnesses by the Investigator in order tomake believe the case.7.Heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above contentionsand the Court has paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.Following the inquest conducted by the Investigator, the dead body of thedeceased was subjected to post-mortem by P.W.8, the Doctor.He has issuedEx.P.5, the post-mortem certificate, wherein he has opined that the deceasedwould appear to have died of injury to spinal cord and injury to major bloodvessels of neck 12 to 18 hours prior to autopsy.The fact that she died out ofhomicidal violence was never questioned by the appellant/accused at any stage ofproceedings and hence, it has got to be safely recorded so.It is true, P.W.1 is the son of the deceased and itcannot by itself be the reason to discard his testimony, since it stood the testof careful scrutiny.P.W.1 wastravelling in the bus, in which both the deceased and the accused were alsotravelling.When the bus nearing the place of occurrence, the accused suddenlysprang on the deceased with aruval and attacked her and caused her death.Immediately, P.W.1 proceeded to the respondent police station and a case came tobe registered within a short span of time.The FIR has also reached theJudicial Magistrate concerned within a reasonable time and thus, he has spokenthe act of the accused in a clear and candid manner and his evidence hasinspired the confidence of the Court.Yet another circumstance is therecovery of M.O.1 aruval, pursuant to the confessional statement.The witnesswas examined to that effect.10.Coming to the question of nature of the act of the accused, the Courtis of the considered opinion that the contentions of the learned counsel for theappellant has got to be discountenanced.It is true, there was a poramboke landand there was a rival claim and tussle between the accused and the deceased asto the enjoyment of the same.The learned counsel took the court to the part ofthe confessional statement to state that the deceased was in practice of abusingthe accused and that was the reason for provocation.A reading of theconfessional statement, which was relied on by the prosecution and accepted bythe lower court, would indicate that the deceased was in practice of abusing theaccused.The object of the accused at that time was to do away the deceased, sothat he can enjoy the land and not because of provocation he has acted, sincethe deceased abused him.Thus, there is distinction between both of them.Therewas neither quarrel nor provocation, which was sudden as expected one in law.Apart from that, in order to attract the sudden provocation, the accused shouldnot take undue advantage of the situation.In the instant case, the deceased wasa womenfolk and when she was travelling in the minibus unarmed, the accusedsuddenly sprang on her and attacked her with aruval and thus, he has taken undueadvantage of the situation.Hence, no question of applying sudden provocationwould arise as one envisaged in the exceptions to S.300 IPC.Hence, the act ofthe accused should be termed as murder.The lower court was perfectly correct infinding the accused guilty Under Section 302 IPC and awarding life imprisonmentand nothing requires for interference either factually or legally.11.In the result, the criminal appeal fails and the same is dismissed.1.The Principal

Rajan, is the managing partner of Mallur Jayalakshmi Finance.JUDGMENT Karpagavinayagam, J.This revision has been preferred by the petitioner/accused, Krishnamurthy, against the judgment dated March 30, 1992, C.A. No. 36 of 1991 on the file of the learned Second Additional Sessions Judge, Salem, confirming the conviction and sentence imposed upon him by the learned Judicial Magistrate No. 1, Salem, by his judgment dated February 22, 1991, in C.C. No. 288 of 1989 for the offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (hereinafter referred to as ""the Act"").The respondent, A. R. Rajan, is the managing partner of Mallur Jayalakshmi Finance.He filed a complaint against the petitioner/accused for the offences under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, before the learned judicial Magistrate No. 1, Salem, who in turn acquitted the accused of the charge under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, but convicted him for the offences under section 138 of the Act and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000 in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two months.Aggrieved over this judgment, the petitioner/accused filed an appeal in C.A. No. 36 of 1991, on the file of the IInd Addl.Sessions Judge, Salem.The learned Sessions Judge confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed upon the accused and while dismissing the appeal observed that as the accused is entitled to the benefit of remission as per G.O.Ms.No. 279, dated February 23, 1992, he need not undergo the said imprisonment of six months.Without satisfying the judgment of the first appellate court, the present revision has been filed by the petitioner in this court.The accused/petitioner used to get loans along with his father from the said finance company.The loans obtained by the accused/petitioner, of Rs. 62,000 dated March 20, 1985, Rs. 10,500 dated April 8, 1985, Rs. 9,000 dated May 5, 1986, Rs. 10,500 dated July 16, 1986, Rs. 30,000 dated March 29, 1988, and Rs. 20,000 dated December 2, 1987, totalling about Rs. 1,42,000 have not been settled by him.Part interest due on the above principal has also not been paid by the accused.When the complainant insisted the accused for settlement of the above loans, the petitioner assured that he would discharge the entire amount by one stroke on or before April 15, 1989, after disposing of his landed properties.On April 22, 1989, both the parties arrived at a settlement for the total principal due to the tune of Rs. 1,22,000 and the loan of Rs. 20,000 dated December 2, 1987, was given up.For the said amount interest was calculated at 18 per cent.On the same day, the accused assured that he would pay the said amount by way of cheque the next day, since he has already sold his landed properties.The next day, i.e., on April 23, 1989, the accused came and presented a cheque drawn on the State Bank of India, for Rs. 1,66,360, to the complainant, stating that already the said amount was deposited in the bank and if the cheque is presented, it would be honoured immediately.He requested the complainant to hand over the pronotes executed by him on different dates, in respect of the various loans referred to above.When the cheque was presented on the next day, i.e., on April 24, 1989, for encashment, to the shock and surprise of the complainant, the same was dishonoured, as ""refer to drawer"" for want of sufficient funds.Thereafter, the complainant sent a legal notice dated May 8, 1989, to the accused demanding payment of the amount mentioned in the dishonoured cheque, within fifteen days from the date of notice.The accused/petitioner sent a reply stating that he never obtained any loan whatever from the complainant and that he never issued any cheque as his cheque book as well as pass book were lost and that the complainant has misused the same against the petitioner.On receipt of such a reply, the complainant/respondent filed a complaint against the petitioner/accused for the offences under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and section 138 of the Act.After conclusion of the trial, the learned trial Magistrate dealt with the petitioner/accused as stated earlier, which was confirmed in appeal by the lower appellate court.Hence, the revision.",['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The appellant Sadhoo alias Sadhuram having been convicted by Ist Additional Sessions Judge, Damoh in Sessions Trial No. 80/91 deciding the charges against him on 27-6-1992 and convicted for committing offence Under Sections 376(2)(f), 366A and 363, Indian Penal Code, whereunder sentenced for 10 years, 5 years and 3 years rigorous imprisonment respectively, has approached this Court by means of the present appeal which is being decided on merit after hearing learned counsel for the State and the accused who is present in person before this Court.Though the accused was represented through a Lawyer but was not granted bail.This Court on 1-11-1996 when the case was posted for hearing passed an order to the effect that none present for the appellant when the case was called for in the second round and directed for issuance of production warrant of the appellant of a date for hearing of this case in the presence of the appellant.The appellant is brought in person before this Court.It needs to be mentioned here that the learned State counsel Shri S. K. Gangrade, Panel Lawyer, was very fair in properly assisting the Court specially in the circumstances of the present case where the accused is the persontieither conversant with the legal position nor record, of his case.The sentences awarded to the accused/appellant Under Sections 363, 366A and 376(2)(f) of the Indian Penal Code, were made to run concurrently.The prosecution case in brief is that on 17th February, 1991 Ku.Anita aged 11 years daughter of Ram Prasad (PW 2) at about 8.30 P.M. went to attend the marriage in the locality and while way back to her home at about 9.00 P.M. the accused who met her tried to catch hold her, who tried to rush towards her home but the accused who caught hold her took to the field and thereafter to a dilapidated house of guard-line and committed rape on her but her cry could not attract any body.Accused thereafter took her to a newly constructed house near the railway station where also he committed rape twice on her.P.14 dated 18-2-1991 is the report of missing of Ku.Anita (Gumsuddi report).FIR was recorded on 18-2-1991 (Ex.P.4) which was recorded by P.W. 7 A.S.I. Kotwali Damoh at about 7.45 P.M. Accused was arrested on 19-2-1991 by P.W. 7 the investigating officer.In his statement in para 3 he stated date as 20-2-1991 which apparently seems to be a typographical error and has no adverse impact on the prosecution case.Prosecution examined as many as 10 witnesses.The prosecutrix was examined by Doctor Chanda Jain (PW. 9) and the medical report is Ex.P.5-A. The accused/appellant was examined by Dr. K. K. Sachdeo (P.W.8) and the medical report is Ex.The defence was that of denial and false implication in the crime.The defence did not examine any witness.Heard learned counsel for the State and also the accused who is present in person before the Court and has been given adequate opportunity though being illiterate is not of any assistance to the Court.Double burden rested on the State counsel which- he succeeded in discharging fairly.The basic question regarding all the three charges against the accused hinges upon the identification of the accused which is an independent factor.Narayan Singh the Naib Tahsildar (PW. 3) who conducted the identification parade stated in his statement that in the identification parade 9 persons were mixed who were made to stand in a line, and were covered by blanket upto their neck and were of same height.The prosecutrix Ku.Anita rightly identified the accused by placing her hand on him.Identification memo which is Ex.P.1 which contains his signature as well as the signature of the prosecutrix, was prepared by him.In the cross-examination he was put the question regarding showing of the accused to the prosecutrix at the police station and he denied the same, and also denied the fact that the police people went inside the jail and the accused was singly called in the jail to the spot of identification.So far as the statement of this witness is concerned it deals with the identification that identification parade was conducted by him and that the identification was proper.So far as the question of showing the accused in jail is concerned, though this witness is not the proper witness for that purpose as his scope of confinement is limited to the identification parade.He denied the facts that the prosecutrix told him that the accused was shown to her several times at the police station and also denied the fact that the police people were inside the jail.Nothing much could come out from his statement on this aspect of the matter.Though the prosecutrix in court rightly identified the accused but what is relevant for consideration is the statement of the prosecutrix herself made before the court who before the court made statement that during the identification parade she correctly identified the accused and in cross-examination (para 7) she admitted that after lodging the FIR she went to the police station continuously for 3 or 4 days.According to her on Tuesday the accused was arrested who was shown to her at the police station.She also admitted that the accused was got identified to her at the police station and at the police station one person wearing white clothes asked her for identifying the accused person, who was shown at the police station.This statement itself creates a serious doubt to the very reliability of the identification and thereby fixation of the person as to who committed the offence in question.No doubt identification in the court is substantive but the same requires corroboration by test identification parade and the Court identification needs to be careful to be acted upon and for that it is always safe to have corroboration from identification parade.In the present case, the question of corroboration does not arise in view of the statement of the prosecutrix herself as she has stated in her cross-examination that the accused person was shown to her before the identification parade was held and she was told to identify the accused and as such it becomes a case left with mere identification in the court at the time of trial for the first time and such an evidence being of feeble character cannot be reliable so to hold that it has been corroborated by the test identification parade as it could not be held to be identification parade being in proper perspective and is worth not placing reliance.It under the facts and circumstances creates grave doubt as to the very question regarding involvement of the present accused in the crime and as a result thereof the accused is entitled for benefit of doubt.Though in view of this it is not necessary to dilate on other points, which very much exists in the present case as the case suffers from all round infirmities, regarding the age of the girl who was student of class IV and no school leaving certificate having been produced in the court in proof of age.The medical evidence of the doctor P.W. 9 is also not worth being placed reliance.The aspersions made by the trial Court against Dr. Smt. Jain in regard to non proper conduction of the medical examination as well as against the prosecution agency are well founded.The appeal is, accordingly, allowed.","['Section 366A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Grover, Advocate, Vide order dated August 4, 1988 line Additional Sessions Judge granted bail to Durga Prasad and vide order dated July 18, 1988 the same Court granted bail to Faqir Chand.It has been pleaded that no fresh grounds have been mentioned in the bail application which could entitled them to get bail from the Additional Sessions Judge.It has been strongly urged that a fraud has been practiced on the trial Court by not disclosing in the bail applica''ions of Faqir Chand and Durga Prasad that their previous bail applications have been dismissed on merits and the application of Durga Prasad had also been dismissed by the High Court.The complainant had moved an application before the Additional Sessions Judge also pointing out these facts seeking the order for cancelling the bail of the said two accused but the Additional Sessions Judge vide his impugned order dated September 7, 1988 had dismissed the application although he had mentioned in the order that if the accused bad disclosed in the application regarding dismissal of their applications on merits earlier, lie might have exercised his discretion in a different way but he, following the judgment of the High Court in K.

assaulting essential service suppliers and thereby paralysing the functioning of the factory; and causing damages to the vehicles by breaking the wind shield etc. which bring materials to the company.It was in the circumstance that in spite of the injunction being made absolute after hearing respondents 4 to 12, the said respondents have indulged in the said activities, the petitioner filed the above writ petition.Respondents 4 to 12 have filed counter affidavit.As per the counter affidavit, it is the case of the respondents that they have filed CMA.No.44 of 2007 against the order of injunction granted in I.A.No.100 of 2007 in O.S.No.54 of 2007 and they have also applied for the stay of order of injunction.Therefore, according to the respondents 4 to 12, the writ petitioner having approached the Civil court, cannot file the present writ petition.According to the respondents, the writ petitioner has committed unfair labour practice and dismissed 33 workers, including respondents 5,8,11 and 12, without enquiry.There is also breach of settlement by demanding the workers to perform higher work load which created industrial strife.According to respondents 4 to 12, an offender cannot be granted any discretionary relief under writ jurisdiction.The reason for strike called by respondents 4 to 12 is the illegal demand of the petitioner for upward revision of work load, in violation of the settlement between the parties entered in January,2006 which expires on 30th June,2008 and during the bilateral negotiations also the Management is demanding higher work load.6(a).According to respondents 4 to 12, the Management has brought 45 outsiders labelling them as ""Trainees"" and kept them as day in and day out, only to intimidate the workers.The complaint to Inspector of Factories has not been attended by the Inspector properly and the issue is pending before the Division Bench by way appeal.Therefore, according to the respondents, the demands made by them are not illegal.The notice for strike was given on 10.10.2007 and from 15.11.2007, respondents 4 to 12 and its Union workers are on legal strike.The idea of the writ petitioner is to break the strike by undertaking outsiders and also to achieve production.The police protection itself is sought for only to break the strike, which is legal.Since respondents 4 to 12 have already filed appeal against the order of injunction granted by the Civil Court, the writ petitioner is not entitled for any interim order in this case.R.Gandhi, learned senior counsel appearing for the writ petitioner has submitted that there are totally 163 workmen employed in the writ petitioner Company and while admitting that the 4th respondent is a major Union consisting more number of workers who are on strike from 15.11.2007, his contention is that respondents 4 to 12 have lost their case before the Civil Court in the interlocutory application stage, since the Civil Court has granted injunction pending suit after hearing both sides and it is the respondents 4 to 12 who have filed appeal against the said order and it is not necessary for the writ petitioner to approach the Civil Court again and it is the duty of respondents 1 to 3 in the writ petition to give protection to the petitioner in order to implement the civil Court order.7(a).According to the learned senior counsel, even the finished products which are situated inside the factory of the petitioner are not allowed to be taken away and under the guise of right of strike, the employees should not indulge in illegal and violent activities.According to him, respondents 4 to 12 have no right to prevent the employees who are willing to work and other persons who are entering into the factory premises cannot be prevented in the name of strike.His further contention is that respondents 4 to 12 are not allowing any lorry even to go out, with the result, the writ petitioner is unable to supply materials to Defence Department.7(b).He would also rely upon an order of this Court made in W.P.No.33949 of 2007 dated 29.10.2007, in which the claim of the 4th respondent Union for direction to take action against the writ petitioner, viz., not to engage trainees/apprentices, was dismissed.He would also submit that many criminal complaints have been given by the writ petitioner.The learned Government Advocate, on instructions would submit that between 15.11.2007 and 19.11.2007, 2 Police Constables were posted regularly in the premises of the writ petitioner; from 20.11.2007 to 07.12.2007 one Sub-Inspector of Police and 4 Constables were posted daily in the premises and from 08.12.2007 till date two Police Constables have been posted to give 24 hour protection to the writ petitioner Company.The complaints by the employer/writ petitioner relate to damage to public properties while the complaints by the workmen relate to threatening and making division among the workers.According to learned Government Advocate, Crime No.9 of 2008 has been registered by police on 05.01.2008 under Sections 323 and 324 IPC.V.Prakash, learned senior counsel appearing for respondents 4 to 12 submits that the Union members are on legal strike from 15.11.2007, which arose under Industries Disputes Act. According to him, the writ petitioner/employer failed to act as per the settlement on payment of wages and work load and wanted to extract higher work load and many workers have been dismissed without notice.His submission is that in the name of engaging outsiders and calling them as apprentices/trainees, the writ petitioner employed them as regular employees and the idea of the writ petitioner is to divide the Union and if that is allowed, the concept of collective bargain will be thrown to winds, which is not the intend of the legislature in making laws.I have heard Mr.R.Gandhi, learned senior counsel for the petitioner, Mr.L.S.M.Hazan Fizal, learned Government Advocate for respondents 1 to 3 and Mr.It is also not in dispute that the writ petitioner has approached the Civil Court and filed a suit against the 4th respondent and its Union members.When the employer attempts to divide the striking workers, which is lawful, it is certainly open to the 4th respondent Union and its members to approach the Inspector of Factories or raise an industrial dispute by treating the same as unfair labour practice, etc. and the immunity granted under Section 18(1) of the Act cannot mean to say that the Union must be permitted to achieve its object by resorting to the method which are not permitted in law.In view of the above said facts and legal position, I am of the considered view that the writ petitioner must be granted police protection in the light of the order of injunction granted on 09.06.2007 in I.A.No.100 of 2007 in O.S.No.54 of 2007, which was made absolute on 21.11.2007, to perform its legal obligations, but at the same time, with liberty to the 4th respondent Union to approach the appropriate forum for redressal of its grievance regarding the alleged employment of trainees/apprentices on regular basis by the writ petitioner.In view of the same, the writ petition stands ordered on the above terms.No costs.1.The Superintendent of Police Krishnagiri, Krishnagiri District.2.The Deputy Superintendent of Police Hosur, Krishnagiri District.3.The Inspector of Police SIPCOT, Hosur, Krishnagiri District.","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"ORDER K.S. Hegde, J.The appellants were tried before the learned Sessions Judge of Bellary, in Sessions Case No. 14 of 1957 on his file, for the murder of one Mareppa on the midnight of 31 3 1957 at Benakal village, Bellary District.They are also tried for some other offences alleged to have been committed at the time of the said murder.They were convicted Under Section 302, IPC and sentenced to imprisonment for life.Further appellants 1 and 2 (Basappa and Badrigadu respectively) were convicted for an offence Under Section 324, for causing hurt to Mareppa, and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.Appellant No. 31 (Chakalabandi Adavappa) was convicted for an of m fence Under Section 324 IPC for causing hurt to P.W. 2 (Mariswamappa) and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.Appellant No. 4 (Phothagadu) was convicted Under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt to P.W. 2 (Mariswamappa) and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.The several sentences imposed on the appellants were made to run concurrently.2. Accused 1 and 2 are cousins.Accused Sections and 4 are brothers and all the accused are related to one another.The case for the prosecution is that in the village of Benakal there were two factions; one of the factions was led by A l (Basarroal by and the opposing faction was led by one Handihal Hanumanthappa; feelings between these two factions were very bitter; the deceased and P. W 2 (Mariswamappa) belonged to the faction of Handihal Hanvrninthappa, whereas all the accused belonged to the faction led by A l. It is further alleged that on the night of 31 3 1957, two haystacks be lonsine to A l and A 3 caught fire; at that time the deceased, P.W. 2 and many others were attending a Baiana performance in Durgamma temple not far from the scene of occurrence; on seeing the haystacks ablaze, the deceased, P.W. 2 and many others went to the scene.With a view to have a nearer view of the burning haystacks, the deceased and P.W. 2 first stood on the roof of A 3' house and later on moved on to the roof of A 3' house which was close to the burning haystacks.The party of the accused suspected that the deceased and P.W. 2 must have set fire to the haystacks and further they were there to enjoy the fun.That first information is marked as Ex P 3 in this case.The police immediately came to the scene or occurrence but by the time they reached the scene,, the body of the deceased was almost burnt.The Head of the Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical College Mysore (P.W. 4 Dr. A. T. Srinivasa Iyengar) who examined the burnt bones and flesh of the deceased, was unable to give1 any opinion as regards the cause of death.So also P.W. 7 (Dr. Y. Padmanabha Rao) who held the post mortem examination was not in a position to speak about the cause of death.P.W. 1 (Dr. B. N. Ramakrishniah) who examined P.W. 2 found' two injuries on his person.One of them was a tapering cut wound 4"" x 1/2 which exposed the bones of the elbow and the other was a lacerated wound 1"" x W scalp deep situated 2"" behind the right ear.He was of the opinion, that the injury on .the elbow was a grievous one.There appears to have been some controversy in the Court below as to whether the bones and flesh recovered by tile Police from the burning haystacks were those On the deceased Mareppa.There is little doubt in this case that Mareppa had died on the night of f51 3 1957 and the bones and flesh recovered by the police were those of the deceased.The trial Court, accepted the prosecution case on this point and its conclusions were not challenged before us.Hence it is unnecessary to go over that ground.The existence of the alleged factions was not disputed before us.The immediate occasion for the attack on the deceased and P.W. 2 according, to the prosecution, is the burning of the haystacks.This is clear from the evidence of P.W. 2, P.W. & (Saranappa), P.W. 5 (Mari Durgappa).P.W. ft (Talur Mareppa).P.W. 9 (Basappa) and P.W. 1U (Mukkanna).The presence of P.W. 2 at the ' scene of the occurrence cannot be denied.He him , self has sustained injuries.Undoubtedly he b& longs to the faction of the deceased wd he was are enemy of the accused.the first Information laid before the police.It may be remembered that this information was laid before the police almost within three hours after the occurrence and1 that at a place which is about 6 miles from the scene of occurrence.There was little time to concoct a false story.The evidence of P.W. 2 is fully corroborated by P.W. 3 (Saranappa) and P.W. 6 (Talur Mareppa).Their houses are very near the scene of occurrence and hence they are natural witnesses.It is true that P.W. 3 is the brother in law of P.W. 2 and P.W. 6 is the maternal uncle of the deceased.Hence undoubtedly they are interested witnesses.As regards the throwing of the body of Mareppa into the burning haystacks, we have the evidence of P.W. 6 and P.W. 5 Mari Durgappa).He urged the we should not place reliance on their evidence, particularly in view of the existence of the factions,It was also urged that though a large number of persons have witnessed the occurrence, no disinterested witness has been examined to support the prosecution case.This is true.But in a factious village, people who are really neutral, will be reluctant to come forward as witnesses to support one or the other side, lest they should invite trouble for themselves.This is a common tendency.The fact that the deceased was killed and P.W. 2 was injured on the night of 31 3 1957 admits of no doubt.The sequel of events as disclosed by the prosecution witnesses appear to be natural.But above all, there is the firs' information (Ex. P 3) which is of utmost importance in this case.According to the evidence of P.W. 1, the injury caused on the elbow of P.W. 2 is a grievous injury.The prosecution evidence shows that the said injury was caused by A 4 (Pothugadu).Hence A 4's conviction Under Section 326 IPC is justified.Some attempt was made to show that the injury in question was a simple injury.Similarly the conviction of A 3 (Adiveppa) Under Section 324 IPC for pausing hurt to P.W. 2 cannot be questioned.Now coming to the murder of the decease ed, we are faced with certain difficulties, as the Doctors were not able to give any definite opinion as regards the cause of his death.To some extent We are left to conjecture as to what was the direct cause of his death.","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 4 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

the Dehati Nalishi she had not stated that Ramphal had caused any injury to the deceased on his head.She had stated that Lalman had caused injuries on the head of the deceased by means of `farsa'.The other injured witness PW-02, Dalchand deposed that when he was at home along with his father, the mother was preparing tea, his uncle Ramphal came to his house, called his father and inquired about the boring and thereafter he started abusing him.After some time, other accused persons, namely, Mathura, Bori alias Prenmarayan, Govind, Nindi and wifes of Lalman, Mathura and Ramphal also came at

mother.Thereafter he called his brother Hemraj and father was taken to the hospital.He also stated that the police had reached at about 11 o'clock and the father was taken to the hospital on the tractor of Moorat Singh. 7The investigating officer Safiq Khan, PW-13 stated that at about 10:15 a.m. a telephonic information was received from the Kotwar that Ganesh, Sheelabai and Dalchant of the village have been beaten.On the basis of the said information he went to the spot and when he reached at the spot he found blood, broken bangles and sickle.According to him the deceased and the injured Sheelabai and Dalchand had already left for hospital.Thereafter he came back to the police station and made entry in the Roznamcha and went to the District Hospital, Gadarwara where he recorded the Dehati Nalishi on the statement of Sheelabai.He admitted his signatures at `A' to 'A'.On the basis of Dehati Nalishi, Ex.P/1 and spot map, Ex.P/2 and the statements of the witnesses, PW-01, PW-02 and PW-13 learned counsel for the appellants submitted that in Ex.P/2, spot map the time is mentioned as 11:20 a.m., dated 16-4-2008, whereas Dehati Nalishi was prepared on 16-4-2008 at 13:00 hrs.As per statement of the investigating officer and roznamcha entry, when he reached at the spot the deceased Ganesh, Sheelabal (PW-01 and Dalchant (PW-02) had already left for hospital then how the map could have been prepared on the information of PW-01, Sheelabai at 11:20 a.m. It is submitted that the prosecution has cropped up a false story and the facts were known to the police immediately after the incident and intentionally Dehati Nalishi was recorded at 03:00 p.m. ( 15:00 hrs.).Further, in para 6 of the cross-examination PW-01 has stated that the police had come at 8 about 11:00 a.m. and had prepared the spot map at 11:00 a.m. Thus, when the investigating officer, PW-13 reached at the spot, the deceased Ganesh, Sheelabai (PW-01) and Dalchand (PW-02) were present at the spot and then the report ought to have been registered at that time.on 16-4- 2008 whereas in the spot map prepared by the Investigating Office (PW-13) the date and time were mentioned as 16-4-2008 at 11:20 a.m. In the Roznamcha entry, Ex.P/50-A he mentioned that when he reached at the spot, the deceased, Sheelabai (PW-01) and Dalchand (PW-02) were not at the spot.There is no explanation that how he could have recorded the spot map on the information of Sheelabai at 11:20 a.m. , when he met for the first time Sheelabai and others in the hospital in the afternoon at 15:00 hrs.Dalchand (PW-02) has stated that the police had come to his village at about 11:00 a.m. and spot map was prepared at 11:00 a.m. and thereafter they had gone to the 9 hospital.It is correct that there are certain defects and faults in the investigation, but taking into consideration the testimony of injured eye witnesses, Sheelabai (PW-01) and Dalchand (PW-02) we are unable to disown the entire prosecution case merely on the ground of defective investigation.The law in this regard is well settled.The maxim falsus in uno falsus in omnibus does not apply in Indian criminal law jurisprudence.Learned counsel for the appellants vehemently argued that the conviction with the aid of Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code [for short ""the IPC""] is not legal as there is no evidence to establish that there was any formation of unlawful assembly with a common object in order to cause death of the deceased-Ganesh, therefore, the trial Court ought to have examined the individual role attributed to the accused.The question that springs up for consideration in the present case is whether any unlawful assembly was formed with a common object to lynch Ganesh and if not, then what individual role is attributed to the accused-appellants ?According to the case of the prosecution the first report was registered in the form of Dehati Nalish, Ex.P/1, on the information given by Sheelabai (PW-01).She has stated that the incident had taken place at about 08:00 a.m. when she was preparing tea in the house at that time her husband, Ganesh (since deceased) and son Dalchand (PW-02) were at home.At that time her brother-in-law, Ramphal came to her house and called Ganesh and uttered that as to why he was suspecting about filling of boring by him.When the same was denied 11 by Ganesh, the accused Ramphal started him abusing.On a careful scrutiny of this statement, we find that Ramphal had gone alone to the house of the deceased unarmed.Ramphal was residing in the adjoining house at a close distance to the house of the deceased, as he is real brother of the deceased and the same is evident from the spot map, Ex.P/2 also.As per her statement, thereafter other accused persons, namely, Mathura, Lalman, Govind, Hirendra, Nindu and Bori alias Premnarayan arrived on the spot.They were armed with the weapons usually kept by the villagers in rural areas for cultivation and cutting purposes, i.e. sickle (hansia), farsa and axe etc. It is clear that Ramphal had come first without any weapon to meet the deceased, who is his real brother and thereafter, there was exchange of heated words between them.It is also stated in the report that ladies had also come at the spot carrying `lathis'.She has stated that when the accused persons started beating her husband - Ganesh, her son - Dalchand also brought a `lathi'.She informed that the accused Lalman had given a blow by means of farsa on the head of her husband.In her deposition in the Court PW-01, Sheelabai stated that Ramphal had caused head injury to the deceased with the help of a farsa, though in her first report - Dehati Nalishi she stated that Lalman had inflicted injury on the head of the deceased with a 'farsa'.There is material contradiction regarding fatal blow on the head of the deceased.PW-02, Dalchand deposed that Mathura had 12 given 'farsa' blow on the head of the deceased.In para 2 of his statement he also stated that Mathura and Lalman had given `farsa' blows on the legs of his father and the accused Ramphal had inflicted injuries on the face of his mother with an axe.On appreciation of the evidence of these two injured witnesses - Sheelabai (PW-01) and Dalchand (PW-02) it is established that the accused Ramphal, who is the real brother of the deceased came alone in the house of the deceased unarmed.There was exchange of heated words between them.Thereafter, other co-accused persons - sons and wife of Ramphal and other ladies of the family reached at the spot and started inflicting injuries to the deceased - Ganesh, and Sheelabai (PW-01) and Dalchand (PW-02) and Ramphal was unarmed at that time.It is alleged that after other accused persons reached at the spot, he brought an axe and Dalchand (PW-02) also brought a `lathi'.Thus, on assimilation of facts and evidence we do not find any evidence that the accused persons formed an unlawful assembly and made preparation and acted in furtherance of their common object in order to cause death of Ganesh.The facts and evidence reveal that the accused Ramphal reached first in the house of the deceased and inquired about the boring and there was exchange of heated words between them, which lead coming of other accused persons at the spot and then it is alleged that injuries were caused to the deceased and Sheelabai and Dalchand.In absence of any cogent and plausible 13 evidence that there was any formation of unlawful assembly with the common object to kill Ganesh or any other family members, we are unable to sustain the finding of the trial Court that there was formation of an unlawful assembly and, therefore, all the accused persons are responsible on the principle of constructive liability for being a part of an unlawful assembly without establishing individual role attributed to them.Since we have already held that there was no formation of unlawful assembly before causing death of the deceased - Ganesh.Therefore, all the accused persons cannot be convicted with the aid of Section 149 of IPC.We have also noted that the accused persons have not trespassed in the house of the deceased.They are living in the same compound adjoining to the house of the deceased.The incident has taken place in the courtyard which was a common place.Now as per evidence in regard to the role attributed to the accused persons, the case of the appellants are examined and they are convicted and sentenced as under:In Criminal Appeal No.1086/2009 there are four appellants, namely, Ramphal, Lalman, Mathura and Govind.Appellant No.1, Ramphal 14 We have already noted that there were material contradictions and omissions in the allegations made by injured witness, Sheelabai (PW-01) in Dehati Nalishi, Ex.P/1 and her court statement.In respect of Ramphal she had stated in the Dehati Nalishi that Ramphal had given axe blow on her face which had caused injury near the eye, but in her Court statement she stated that Ramphal had hit on the head of the deceased by means of an axe.In the Dehati Nalishi the allegation regarding causing injury on the head was made against the accused Lalman that he had given 'farsa' blow on the head of the deceased and on his legs.Dehati Nalishi is the first report in which information regarding commission of the offence was given to the Investigating Officer (PW-13).Whereas the statement in the Court was recorded after a period of more than four months.It is relevant to mention here that the accused-Ramphal is the younger brother of the deceased, Ganesh and, therefore, the statement made by Sheelabai (PW-01) that an axe blow was given on the head of the deceased by Ramphal after four months of the incident.But it is proved that Ramphal had caused injuries with the help of an axe on the face of Sheelabai (PW-01).Dalchand (PW- 1502) has also stated that Ramphal had inflicted injuries on the face.Dr. K.S. Rajput, PW-07, had conducted MLC of both the injured persons, Sheelabai and Dalchand.The report is Ex.He stated that on the examination of Sheelabai he found two injuries - one in the nature of swelling (xqEek) - 1 x inch on the left lumber region and contusion - x 1 inch at left forearm.As per postmortem report of the deceased, Ex.P/10 and the statement of the autopsy surgeon, Dr. Rajeev Rathoria the deceased had received as many as 13 injuries.The injuries No.1,2,3,9,10,12 and 13 were caused by hard and blunt object.All the injuries were ante-mortem and homicidal in nature.In para 4 of the statement in cross-examination he stated that the injury No.1 was on the vital part of the body whereas other injuries were on non-vital parts.Thus, as per allegations made in the Dehati Nalishi by Sheelabau (PW-01) and the statement of Dalchand (PW-02) there is no allegation that the appellant No.1, Ramphal had inflicted head injury on the deceased.Therefore, the appellant is acquitted of the charges under sections 302/149, 449 and 148 of IPC.The jail sentence of the appellant was suspended by this Court and he is on bail.In view of extensive consideration of the allegations delineated in the Dehati Nalish, Ex.P/1 and the Court statement of the injured witnesses Sheelabai (PW-01) and Dalchand (PW-02) the allegations against him are that he had given fatal `lathi' blows on the deceased and on the leg of Sheelabai (PW-01).The injured (PW-02) has also stated that the accused-Lalman had caused injuries with the help of a `farsa' and had given `lathi' blows on the head of the deceased.As we have already discussed that the Autopsy Surgeon (PW-05) - Dr. Rajeev Rathoria has stated that the injury No.1 inflicted on the head was at a vital part which had caused shock and haemorrhage.Considering the aforesaid, conviction of the appellant No.2, Lalman under Sections 302/149, 324/149, 323/149, 449 and 148 of the IPC are set aside.However, conviction and sentence of the appellant No.2, Lalman are modified as under:In view of the analysis of the evidence in preceding paragraphs, we find that as per Dehati Nalishi he had inflicted injury on the leg of the deceased with the help of `farsa' and the injured witness (PW-02) stated that Mathura had given `farsa' blow on the head of the deceased.The appellant is acquitted of the charges under sections 302/149, 324/149, 323/149, 449 and 148 of IPC.However, conviction and sentence of the appellant No.3, Mathura are altered as under :However, conviction and sentence of the appellant No.4, Govind are modified hereunder:In Criminal Appeal No.1152/2009 there are two accused persons, namely, Narendra @ Nindu and Harendra @ Heerendra, appellants No.1 and 2 respectively.It is alleged that the appellant No.1, Narendra alias Nindu had caused injuries by means of a `farsa' on the hands of the deceased and further he inflicted injuries to Dalchand (PW-02), but from his cross-examination, it is evincible that neither in the FIR nor in the Ex.D/1, statement of widow of the deceased and Ex.D/2 any allegation against the present appellant 19 regarding his involvement in respect of causing injuries to the deceased has been made.There are material lapse and omission in the statements of the witnesses from the case diary statement, Dehati Nalish and the FIR.Appellant No.1, Narendra @ Nindu:However, conviction and sentence of the appellant No.1, Narendra @ Nindu are modified as follows :In the light of discussion on Dehati Nalishi and testimonies of PW-01 and PW-02, Sheelabai and Dalchand respectively, and the medical evidence as well, we have already held that the prosecution has failed to prove formation of an unlawful assembly, therefore, therefore, conviction with the aid of Section 149 of IPC is unsustainable.On individual scrutiny of the evidence, we find that the allegation against the appellant No.2, Harendra is that he had caused injuries on the left eye of the deceased by means of a `farsa', as per postmortem report, Ex.P/10 and testimony of Autopsy Surgeon Dr. Rajeev Rathoria, the injury No.1 which was caused on the head of the deceased was on vital part of the body and other injuries were on non- vital parts.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mr.Dhanraj, through whom she has got a son.She has further stated that she married Anandan (CW4) at Thiruppur and then, she lived withhim hardly for a weeks time.She has further stated that she came to Perurand then after having stayed there for few days, she left for Chennai.InChennai, she married one Shajakan, after conversion to Islam and she has gottwo children now.She has stated that she has changed her name as Mumtaz Begum.She has further stated that when she came down to Perur in the year 2011, she came to know about the case and then she made a representation to the District Collector.She has also admitted that on 06.07.2015 bloodsamples were taken from her by a team of Doctors at Government Medical College, Madurai for the purpose of DNA examination as directed by thiscourt.She identified CW3 and other relatives, who were present before thisCourt.CW2 - Muthu @ Mookan, who is the biological father of Manimegalai @ Mekala, has stated that he married Kannimariyal and CW1 was born to them out of the said wedlock.He has further stated that when the child was hardlythree years old, his wife deserted him and thereafter, her whereabouts wasnot known.He has further stated that he is not in a position to identifywhether CW1 - Manimegalai @ Mekala is his daughter or not, because aftershe was taken by her mother at the age of three years, he had no occasion tosee her at all.He has also admitted that on 07.07.2015 he gave bloodsamples at the Government Medical College Hospital, Tuticorin for DNAexamination as directed by this court.According to him, when CW1 was hardly three years old, her mother came to Thirupparamkundram along with CW1 and developed intimacy with him and then he took her to Thiruppur.Out of the intimacybetween him and Kannimariyal, a son was born.He has further stated that CW1 was put in a school at Thanajvur and then in Pattukkottai.He has furtherstated that without his knowledge, CW1 married Mr.He has further stated that after one week of the marriage, Anandan came and told himthat Manimegalai @ Mekala was found missing.The search made for her proved futile.Thereafter, he had no occasion to see Manimegalai @ Mekala at all.He has identified her in Court as Manimegalai @ Mekala, his adopted daughter.Anandan, who married Manimegalai @ Mekala.He has stated that CW1 was his wife.He has identified her in open Court.He hasfurther stated that the marital life lasted hardly for a week's time andthereafter, she disappeared.He has further stated that he went in search ofher to various places including Perur.Since he was not able to locate her,he made a complaint to the Sub Inspector of Police at Srivaikundam PoliceStation, on whose complaint the case in Crime No.154 of 2002 was registeredfor woman missing.Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha.Ashwin Kotnis.He hasstated about the enquiry held by him as directed by this court and hisreport.As I have already extracted, in his report, he has categoricallystated that CW1 is Manimegalai @ Mekala.He has further stated that the deadbody which was found near the bridge is that of some other woman andregarding her death, investigation needs to be reopened and conducted now.The oral evidences of these witnesses are duly corroborated by the expert opinion, based on DNA examination conducted by a team of three experts at the Regional Forensic Laboratory, Madurai.In this case, a peculiar question has arisen for the first time asto what is the weightage that could be given to the superimpositionexamination often conducted in this State, at the behest of the Police, whenthe identity of the deceased in any case could not be ascertained by thewitnesses.It is a common knowledge that as and when a dead body is beyond recognition, resort is made to send the skeletal remains of the dead bodyfor superimposition.In this regard, I may say that forensic anthropology isbest conceptualized, more broadly, as a field of forensic assessment of humanskeletonised remains and their environments.[vide W.M. Krogman and M.Y. Iscan - The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine, Springfield, 1986 - 2ndEdition].This assessment includes both the identification of the victim'sphysical characteristics and cause and manner of the death from the skeleton.The most important application of forensic anthropology is the identificationof the human being from the skeletal remains.The photographic supra-projection is a forensic process where the photographs or video shots of amissing person are compared with the skull that is found.It is done byprojecting both the photographs on top of each other.But, this method wasnot found to be accurate.But, here,in this case, he had taken every possible efforts to identify the skull bysending the same for superimposition.It may be questioned that as to why DNA examination was not conducted then, in order to conclusively prove that the dead body was that ofManimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha.From the evidences placed before this Court, it could be culledout that CW1 was not even aware of her father Mr.Muthu, who was present before this Court, would say that he was not in a position toidentify whether CW1 is Manimegalai @ Mekala or not.Thus, neither thefather is able to identify his daughter nor the daughter is able to identifyher father.Anandan, who originally preferred complaint to the police inrespect of missing of Manimegalai @ Mekala, was all along under theimpression that Mr.Dhanraj was her father.Therefore, the investigatingofficer, who conducted the investigation on earlier occasion, was notinformed of that the biological father of Manimegalai @ Mekala is Mr.It is only on the direction of this Court, the Superintendent of Police hastaken efforts to collect these facts and to bring to light that Mr.TheDeputy Superintendent of Police, Mr.Dharmalingam, District Crime Branch,Tuticorin, shall take up the case forthwith for investigation, conduct athorough investigation in respect of the dead body, which was found on05.04.2002 on the road leading to Vallakulam Village.The InvestigatingOfficer shall ascertain as to whose dead body was that and bring to book theperpetrators of the crime.(v) The Secretary, Home (Police) Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, shall pay Rs.4 lakhs as compensation to each accused in S.C.No.259 of 2005 on the file of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fast TrackCourt No.II, Tuticorin, namely, Mr.Koilpillai, Mr.Balasubramanian,Mr.Kurunthan @ Jeyakumar and Mr.Dhasan, by means of demand drafts drawn in their respective name within a period of three months from the date ofr",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ I would like to mention that this is the rarestcase, where a woman, in my considered opinion, will be an eye-opener for the police in this State that in the matter of investigation, theyshould be extra cautious leaving no stone unturned.I am only hopeful thatin the days to come, learning a lesson from this episode, the policedepartment in the State, will try to use all possible scientific means andmethods to unearth the truth in the matter of investigation, instead ofadopting simply the conventional method of investigation relying only ontestimonies of human beings.As the saying goes, men may lie but not thecircumstances.Similarly, the science shall never fail.Before parting with this case, I would like to place on record myappreciation for the excellent service rendered by Mr.Ashwin Kotnis, theSuperintendent of Police, Tuticorin, who, within a short span of time, asdirected by this Court, had taken all efforts to secure the witnesses so asto find out the truth, to get the report of the DNA expert and to submit afair report before this Court within the time frame.I also appreciate theteam of officers, namely,(i) Mrs.T.Vanitha Rani, Inspector of Police, AllWomen Police Station, Pudukottai, Thoothukudi District, (ii) Mr.F.BernadXavier, Inspector of Police, Murappanadu Police Station, (iii) Mr.Hariharan,Inspector, Special Branch, (iv) Mr.Kandasamy, Sub Inspector of Police, SipcotPolice Station and (v) Mr.P.Arunsakthikumar, IPS, Assistant Superintendent ofPolice, who were in the team who shared the burden with the Superintendent ofPolice to collect all the necessary facts within the time frame.R.Alagumani andMr.E.Athisaya Kumar, the learned counsel, for having taken up the cause ofthese poor people to this Court.Similarly, I appreciate Mr.Had this woman, Mrs.Manimegalai not gone to the DistrictCollector, the travesty of justice declaring her dead would have beenperpetuated .But, for these petitions filed by the petitioners, this mockerywould not have been corrected.7.The Inspector of Police, Murappanadu Police Station,Thoothukudi District.8.The Inspector of Police, Srivaigundam Police Station,Thoothukudi District.9.The Special Public Prosecutor for CBI Cases, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.10.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai bench of Madras High Court," Madurai.""","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 109 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"JUDGMENT S. Murtaza Fazal Ali, J.In this appeal by special leave, which is directed against the judgment of the Patna High Court, the appellant No. 1, Kailash Prasad Kanodia has been convicted under Section 302 and sentenced to imprisonment for life.Appellant No. 2, Gatru Mal Kanodia has been convicted under Section 326 and has been sentenced to three years R.I. A detailed narrative of the prosecution case is to be found in the judgment of the High Court and it is not necessary for us to repeat the same all over again.The High Court as well as the Sessions Judge have accepted the prosecution case and have affirmed the conviction of the appellants as indicated above.The only point that was urged before us by Mr. Mukherjee and Mr. Kohli appearing for the appellants, was that the entire case must fail because the statements recorded by the Officer In-charge D. P. Sharma (P.W. 12) on a rough piece of paper were not made available to the appellant at the trial which has caused serious prejudice to them.The High Court as well as the Sessions Judge considered this aspect of the matter and found that this infirmity was not sufficient to vitiate the trial.The prosecution has examined P.Ws. 4, 7, 10 and 12, the eye-witnesses of the occurrence.So far as P.W. 12 is concerned, he was the informant and lodged the F.I.R. within minutes of the occurrence at the Police Station which is about 200 yards away from the place of occurrence.So far as the said eye-witnesses are concerned, there is no doubt that P.W., D.P. Sharma himself admitted that when he arrived at the place of occurrence, he recorded the statements of eye-witnesses but did not make it a part of the diary.This was a serious lapse on his part resulting in his immediate suspension followed by a departmental enquiry.It was contended by Mr. Mukherjee that if the earlier statements would have been available to the appellant, they would have shown that the true version of the occurrence was not presented before the Court.Even so, we have excluded the evidence of the other eye-witnesses excepting P.Ws. 7 and 12 and we find that there was ample evidence on record to justify the conviction of the appellants.P.W. 12 has clearly stated in the F.I.R. that his father was assaulted with a bhala on the chest by the first appellant and his brother was given a blow by the second appellant.His evidence is fully corroborated by the evidence of P.W. 7 Vishwanath and the medical evidence fully supports his testimony.To some extent the evidence of these two witnesses is further supported by Lal Kanodia P.W. 2 who had also reached the Police Station soon after the F.I.R. was lodged.It appeared from the medical evidence that P.W. Bishwanath did not sustain any grievous injury.He has not received any serious injuries on any vital part of the body.The Doctor admits that he did not find any fracture of a serious nature.In these circumstances, we are satisfied that the charge under Section 326 must necessarily fail but the appellant No. 2 cannot escape conviction under Section 374, I.P.C. as that has been fully proved.Having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of this case, we do not think that this is a fit case in which the second appellant should be convicted and awarded jail sentence.We, therefore, set aside the sentence of imprisonment passed under Section 326 and convict the second appellant under Section 324 and impose a fine of Rs. 2,000 in default one month's R.I. Out of the fine if realized the entire amount will be paid to P.W. Bishwanath as compensation.Two months' time is allowed for the amount to be paid as fine.With this modification, the appeal is dismissed.","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Advocate for the respondent/State.Case diary along with the report of S.H.O.Manawar, District Dhar was received.This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure against the order dated 12.09.2016 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Manawar, District Dhar passed in Criminal Revision No.119/2016 whereby learned A.S.J., Manawar rejected the applicant's criminal Revision and maintained the order dated 10.08.2016 passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Manawar wherein learned judge had rejected the applicant's application filed under Section 451/457 of Cr.P.C. for getting interim custody of Tractor bearing registration No.MP-11-AB-9674 and trolley attached to it seized by the Police on 23.07.2016 in Crime No.462/16 registered at P.S. Manawar for the offences under section 379 IPC and Section 53 of M.P. Minor Mineral Rules, 1996( hereinafter referred to as rules).[2] Brief facts of the case relevant to disposal of this petition are that on 23.07.2016, at 1.30 p.m., when Parvez Constable No.256 of P.S. Manawar, was going to Ravi Garage, on the way, near Gulati Road, he saw a tractor bearing registration No.MP-11-AB-9674 with trolley carrying illegal sand, then he stopped the Tractor-trolly and brought them at P.S. Manawar, where Kishanchand, the then Sub Inspector, P.S. Manawar seized the tractor-trolly and lodged FIR.On that FIR, Crime No.462/2016 was registered for the offences under Section 379 of IPC and Rule 53 of M.P.Applicant filed an application under Section 451/457 of Cr.P.C. before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Manawar to get said Tractor No.MP-11-AB-9674 with trolley in his interim custody.Learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Manawar rejected that application by order dated 10.08.2016 observing that the said tractor-trolly was involved in illegal carrying of sand, whereas National Green Tribunal had prohibited illegal mining and carrying of sand in that area.Against this applicant filed Cr.Learned A.S.J., Manawar, Distt.Dhar also rejected that Criminal Revision observing that according to Rule 53 of M.P. Minor Mineral Rules, 1996 intimation is necessary to invoke the power of Judicial Magistrate First Class for granting vehicle into custody but no intimation was sent by the authority under Rule 53 Sub Rule 3 of M.P. Minor Mineral Rules.So, learned Magistrate has not committed any mistake in rejecting the applicant's application.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the provision of Rule 53 of M.P. Minor Mineral Rules come into play when the vehicle is seized by the authority mentioned in Sub Rule 2 of Rule 53 of M.P. Minor Mineral Rules, 1996 but said vehicle was seized by the police.Even otherwise, it is clear from the record that police who seized the said vehicle also sent intimation regarding seizure of that vehicle to the Magistrate.So learned Additional Sessions Judge committed mistake in rejecting the applicant's Revision only on the ground that no information was sent by the authority to the concerned Magistrate.[4] Likewise learned Judicial Magistrate First Class also committed mistake in rejecting the application only on the ground that National Green Tribunal had imposed ban on mining activities as National Green Tribunal imposed ban only on mining activities and not on transportation of sand, therefore, transportation of sand does not come under ban imposed by the National Green tribunal.Even otherwise whether said vehicle was carrying illegal sand or not is a matter of evidence which cannot be ascertained without evidence at this stage and shall be decided by the court at the time of judgment of the case.[6] This court has gone through the record and arguments put forth by the parties.[7] It appears from the record that when learned Trial Court rejected the application of applicant charge-sheet had not been filed, but now charge-sheet has been filed so petition is disposed of with the direction that in the event of filing of fresh application by the applicant before the Trial Court under Section 451 of Cr.P.C. for getting said vehicle in custody the Trial Court will decide that application according to law without taking notice of his earlier order.A copy of this order be sent to the concerning Trial Court for compliance.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.A.No.1238/2013 15.03.2017 Shri Nitendra Vajpai, learned counsel for the appellant.Govt.

(2010) M.P., 2454 held that, Court Fees Act (7) of 1870, 7 (iv) C and Article 17 Schedule II -- If plaintiff makes an allegation that the instrument is void and hence not binding upon him, then ad valorem court-fee is not payable and he can claim declaration simpliciter from the court.In the instant case also Plaintiff neither executed nor is a signatory to the invoice which he wants to be declared null and void and claimed only the relief of declaration, So Plaintiff is not required to pay ad-valorem court fee.Learned trial did not commit any mistake in rejecting the applicant's prayer.So the revision has no force.Heard finally at the motion stage with the consent of both the parties..This Criminal Revision has been filed under Section 19(4) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 read with Sections 397 & 401 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 12.01.2016 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Indore in M.Cr.C.No.368/2014, whereby he rejected the applicant's application filed under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. for getting maintenance from respondent.Since then she has been living with her parents and is not able to maintain herself, while respondent runs business of selling cloths and earns Rs.30,000/- per month and able to maintain her but is not doing so without any sufficient cause.So, respondent be directed to pay Rs.15,000/- as maintenance to the applicant.Respondent in his reply denied the all allegations and averted that he and his family members never demanded any dowry from the applicant and respondent does not drink wine.Applicant herself threatened respondent to implicate him in false case as she did not want to live in Biaora.so she herself left respondent's house voluntarily without any sufficient cause and is living with her parents.Respondent tried to take her back but she refused.Applicant does sewing work and is able to maintain herself.On the other hand, respondent is an employee in a cloth shop and only earns Rs.2,500/- per month and is unable to maintain the applicant and pray for rejection.Learned trial court after recording the evidence of both the parties rejected the application observing that since applicant has been living separately from the respondent without any sufficient reason, so she is not entitled to get maintenance.Being aggrieved from that order applicant filed this Criminal Revision.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that from the evidence it is clearly proved that respondent and his family members demanded dowry from the applicant and subjected her to cruelty and owing to their ill-behaviour applicant was forced to live separately from the respondent.Learned trial court without appreciating the evidence only on the basis of some minor contradictions mistakenly disbelieving the statement of applicant and his Father Hari Om (PW-2) and wrongly assuming that applicant voluntarily lived separately from respondent rejected applicant's prayer.He also placed reliance on Apex Court's judgement passed in Deb Narayan Halder V/s.[5] This Court has gone through the record and arguments put forth by the parties.As far as trial court's finding that the applicant has no sufficient reason to live separately from respondent is concerned, although applicant had deposed that respondent's behaviour became bad with her after one and half months of marriage and that he used to beat her for dowry besides her father Hari Om (PW-2) also deposed that behaviour of respondent and his family members turned bad with applicant after one year of marriage and they demanded dowry and used to beat her and tell her that her father had not given them any cash at the time of marriage and demanded Rs. One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand due to which he brought his daughter back from her matrimonial house and that she has been living with him for the past two years during which respondent never came to take her back.But Applicant averted in the plaint that her marriage was solemnized with respondent on 03.04.2012 and that he expelled her from his house one year back from the date of filing of application i.e. 15.04.2014, which shows that applicant is living separately from 15.04.2013 meaning thereby that applicant lived with respondent only from 03.04.2012 to 15.04.2013 i.e. 1 year 12 days, while applicant herself averted in her application that behaviour of respondent and his family members was good with her upto one year from her marriage.So the statements of applicant and her father Hari Om regarding demand of dowry and ill-behavior of respondent and his family members becomes doubtful.Even regarding harassment and demand of dowry the statement of applicant and her father is contradictory.Applicant stated that respondent and his family members started torturing her only after 1 or 2 months of her marriage, while applicant's father stated that respondent started torturing his daughter after one year of marriage.Likewise Hari Om (PW-2) stated that respondent and his family members demanded Rs.1,25,000/-, while in the application it is mentioned that respondent and his family members demanded Rs.5,00,000/- and one Car.Applicant also stated that she does not remember the year or month or day her husband beated her.She filled report against respondent one year after returning from her parents' house.If respondent had demanded dowry and used to beat her and expelled her from his house after beating then she would have lodged the report of incident soon after the incident.So statements of applicant and her father Hari Om (PW2) that respondent and his family members used to beat her and demanded dowry are do not appear to be correct.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.As prayed by the learned counsel for the parties, matter be listed after four weeks.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.1381/2016 10.03.2017 Shri Sanjay Sharma, learned counsel for the applicants.R.No.313/2015 after two weeks.R.No.1510/2015 10.03.2017 Parties through their counsel.Learned counsel for the applicant seeks time to argue the matter.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.Govt.

Mandleshwar, was given by the petitioner to the respondent.When the cheque given by the petitioner was presented by the respondent in his bank, the same was returned by the petitioner's Bank due to insufficient funds.So action be taken against applicant.[3] During trial of the case applicant filed an application under Section 91 of Cr.P.C. averting that though respondent had filed a criminal complaint against the applicant for dishonor of cheque amounting to Rs.20,0,000/- but he did not file any documentary evidence regarding that amount so respondent be directed to file all documents relating to his income, expenditure and income tax return.In his reply respondent opposed the prayer.Learned Judicial Magistrate by order dated 23.09.2016 rejected that application observing that application filed by the applicant under Section 91 of Cr.P.C.was not maintainable at that stage against which applicant filed Cr.R.No.111/2016, which was dismissed by order dated 15.02.2017 passed by the Additional Judge to the court of First Additional Sessions Judge, West Nimar, Mandleshwar observing that the impugned order was an interim order against which the Revision is not maintainable.Being aggrieved from that order applicant has filed this petition.[4] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that respondent/complainant filed a private complaint against the petitioner averting that respondent gave Rs.20,0,000/- to the petitioner.In order to discharge the said liability, a cheque bearing No.185939 of Bank of India, Branch - Mandleshwar, was given by the petitioner to the respondent.When the said cheque was presented by the respondent in his bank, the same was returned by the petitioner's Bank due to insufficient funds.Applicant wants to cross-examine the respondent on the point that whether respondent actually has the capacity to give Rs.20,0,000/- to the applicant for which documents regarding income and expenditure and his income tax return are required.so they be called from the applicant.Learned trial court committed mistake in rejecting his application.[5] It appears from the record that respondent/complainant filed a private complaint against the applicant averting that applicant took Rs.20,0,000/- from him and to discharge the said liability, a cheque bearing No.185939 of Bank of India, Branch - Mandleshwar, was given by the petitioner to the respondent.So prima facie burden for proving this fact lies on respondent and what documents he wish to file to prove this fact depends upon his will.In his application applicant has not mentioned the year/years for which he sought respondent's income tax return and regarding what documents or for what period he wants income and expenditure details of respondent.His application is vague, so learned trial court did not commit any mistake in rejecting the applicant's application.Hence, petition is dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns F.A.No.132/2016 01.03.2017 Shri Deepak Rawal, learned counsel for the appellant.Heard on IA No.1006/2016, which is an application for stay.Heard on the question of admission.Let the matter be listed along with the record for final hearing in due course.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.Let the matter be listed after four weeks or after service of notice, whichever is earlier.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.Office is directed to place the service report on the next date of hearing.Let the matter be listed along with the service report after two weeks.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns MCC No.805/2016 01.03.2017 Shri V.A.Katkani, learned counsel for the applicants.Shri Abhishek Soni, learned Dy.Govt.

Jhalra Patan, District Jhalawad respondent himself promised to return the house-hold goods which were given by the applicant as dowry to his daughter at the time of her marriage but he did not do so.The affidavit filed by the respondent before the Revisional Court alleging given by Heena is fake.Learned A.S.J. committed mistake in rejecting the trial court's order by relying on that fake affidavit.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent submitted that according to Section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act a list of articles which were given in dowry at the time of marriage should be made but there is no such list.On the contrary Heena at P.S. Jhalra Patan, District Jhalawad clearly admitted before the Police Officers that she got all articles which were given to her at the time of her marriage.So no question of returning the articles arises.Learned A.S.J. rightly rejected the applicant's prayer.[5] First of all applicant himself averted in the application that he gave house-hold goods and other articles to her daughter in her marriage.So those articles are the property of her daughter and not the applicant.According to Section 6 of Dowry Prohibition Act, which reads as under :-Section 6 in the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961Dowry to be for the benefit of the wife or her heirs.--(1) Where any dowry is received by any person other than the woman in connection with whose marriage it is given, that person shall transfer it to the woman-- --(1) Where any dowry is received by any person other than the woman in connection with whose marriage it is given," that person shall transfer it to the woman--""""(a) if the dowry was received before marriage", within 1[three months] after the date of marriage;(b) if the dowry was received at the time of or after the marriage, within 1[three months] after the date of its receipt; orAlong with the complaint applicant also filed a copy of the notice given by him to the respondent before filing of complaint wherein it is mentioned that a list of articles given to the respondent at the time of marriage was prepared, but no such list was produced by the applicant before the court.The complainant filed complaint against nine persons alleging that all of them received the gifts given to Heena at the time of marriage.It is incredible that all the nine persons together received the gift items while in the notice it is mentioned that all gifts were received by respondent Firoz which is contradictory so in the opinion of this court learned Additional Sessions Judge did not commit any mistake in rejecting the trial court's order.Hence, petition is dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.A.

Koushal, learned counsel for the applicant.Shri Rohit Bhati, learned counsel for the respondents.This Criminal Revision has been filed under Section 115 of CPC against the order dated 07.11.2016 passed by the XIIth Civil Judge Class-II, Indore in Civil Suit No.6-A/2015, whereby he rejected the applicant's/defendent's application filed under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC.[2] Brief facts of this case which are relevant for the disposal of this Revision are that respondents/plaintiffs filed a Civil Suit No.6-A/2015 before the XIIth Civil Judge Class-II, Indore for seeking arrears of rent and eviction of applicant from the part of suit house and in alternative for seeking a declaration to declare them owner of that part of the suit house and also declaring that part of the suit house in dangerous state and that it be demolished after eviction of applicant averting that respondents are the owner of the suit house No.181 situated at Netaji Nagar, Indore.In the back side of the suit house No.181 two rooms and kitchen were built in 14x20=280 sq.ft.Area, which was given by the respondents on rent @ Rs.1,500/- per month to the applicant in the year 1993 by an oral agreement.In the year 2010 Municipal Corporation also gave a notice to the respondents that the said construction is in dangerous state and can't be used for human dwelling.That being so, applicant was directed to give vacant possession of that part of suit house to respondents and pay arrears of rent.[3] During trial of the suit applicant filed an application under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC averting that the land of suit house was given to applicant's mother Munni Bai by the State Government on lease so the provisions of M.P. Accommodation Control Act would not apply on the suit land.Respondents also did not file any documentary evidence showing that the respondent is owner while applicant is a tenant in his suit house, so respondents' suit is not maintainable.Even otherwise on one hand respondents filed a suit averting that applicant is a tenant in the suit house and for his eviction from the suit house and also for getting arrears of rent while on the other hand applicant sought that he be declared owner of the suit house and it be declared in a dangerous stage and a mandatory injunction be issued against the applicant to vacate the suit house which is contradictory so suit is not maintainable.[4] Learned Trial Court rejected the application observing that suit under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC cannot be rejected merely on the ground that respondents sought contradictory relief.To decide other objections it requires evidence which cannot be decided at this stage.Being aggrieved of that order applicant filed this Revision.[5] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that learned trial court has committed mistake in rejecting the applicant's application without appreciating the fact that the respondents sought contradictory relief in the suit and that without amending pleading of the suit, the same is not maintainable.[6] Respondents in their reply opposed the prayer.[7] This court has gone through the record and arguments put forth by the learned counsel for the applicant.Although it appears from the averment of the plaint that respondents sought contradictory relief in the suit but the suit cannot be rejected only on that ground that there is no such provision under Order 7 Rule 11 of CPC.Likewise the suit cannot be rejected only on the ground that respondent has not filed any documentary evidence showing his ownership or landlordship over suit property.It is a matter of evidence so learned trial court did not commit any mistake in rejecting the application of applicant.Hence, the revision is dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.A.No.1397/2014 27.02.2017 None present for the applicant even after second round.As per office report, notice of respondent No.2 received unserved for want of correct address.Respondents No.1 and 3 are served.Notice of respondent No.4 received unserved.Applicant is directed to pay fresh process fee along with the correct address within 15 days.Issue notice to the respondents No.2 and 4 on payment of process fee within 15 days, returnable within six weeks.Let the matter be listed after six weeks or after service of notice, whichever is earlier.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.921/2015 27.02.2017 Shri M.A.Mansoori, learned counsel for the applicant.Govt.

Saxena, learned counsel for the respondents.Heard finally at the motion stage with the consent of both the parties..This Criminal Revision has been filed under Section 19(4) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 read with Sections 397/401 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 01.12.2016 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Rajgarh in M.Cr.C.No.200/2015, whereby he allowed the application of respondents filed under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. and directed the applicant to pay maintenance of Rs.5,000/- per month to each of the respondent.Applicant works in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom and earns Rs.40,000/- per month.He also runs one talkies named Janta Cinema at Baran (Rajasthan) and earns Rs.30,000/- per month.He is also having 10 shops at Kota and earning Rs.50,000/- per month as rent from those shops and he is able to maintain his wife and children but has refused to do so without any sufficient cause, so applicant be directed to pay maintenance to the respondents.[3] Applicant in his reply opposed the prayer and denied the allegations levelled by the respondents in his application and averted that he never demanded dowry from respondent No.1 and never harassed her.Respondent No.1 herself is voluntarily living with her mother without any cause.She is working as a Teacher in R.K.Academy, Biaora and earns Rs.10,000/- per month and is able to maintain herself and her children, while applicant is a Store Manager in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom and earns only Rs.17,685/- per month and his parents also depend on him.Therefore, prayed for rejection of application.[4] Learned Trial Court after recording evidence of both the parties observed that respondent No.1 is having sufficient reason to live separately from the applicant and is not able to maintain herself and her children while applicant is able to maintain respondents but has refused to do so, therefore, he directed the applicant to give Rs.5,000/- as maintenance to each respondent.Being aggrieved with this order applicant filed this Criminal Revision.[5] Only contention of the learned counsel for the applicant is that the amount of maintenance is on higher side.He submits that it is clearly established from the evidence produced by the applicant that applicant earlier worked in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom but he left that job and presently has no means of earning so he is not able to maintain respondents.[6] On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondents submits that applicant himself in his reply admitted that he works as Store Manager in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom, Kota and earns Rs.17,685/- per month.The Certificate (Ex.D/1) filed by the applicant is not correct.It is clear from the record that applicant is having many means of earning.He runs one talkies and also has many shops in the market and earns much and is able to pay Rs.15,000/-maintenance as awarded by the learned Trial Court.[7] This Court has gone through the record and arguments put forth by the parties.Learned trial court itself in Para 22 of its judgment held that applicant earns Rs.17,685/-per month as salary but it awarded Rs.15,000/- per month as maintenance, which is clearly on higher side.Although respondent No.1 Dipika Chourasiya deposed that applicant runs one talkies named Janta Cinema at Baran (Rajasthan).He is also having 25 to 30 shops at Baran (Rajasthan) and also has one house at Kota (Rajasthan) with 10 shops at its ground floor, which earns him rent.But applicant in his statement clearly denied the fact that he runs one talkies named Janta Cinema at Baran (Rajasthan) and having 25 to 30 shops at Baran (Rajasthan) or has any house at Kota (Rajasthan) with 10 shops at its ground floor which earns him rent.[8] Respondents have not filed any document which shows that applicant possess the aforementioned immovable property.So respondents' statement that applicant is having the aforesaid immovable property and he is earning from that property does not appeared to be true.Likewise although respondent No.1 stated that applicant works in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom, Kota and earns Rs.40,000/- per month as salary and applicant also admitted in his reply that he worked in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom but he got only Rs.17,685/- per month as salary from that job.Respondents have not filed any documentary evidence which shows that applicant's salary is Rs.40,000/- per month.[9] Although applicant in his statement deposed that earlier he worked in Tanishk Jewellers Showroom but form 15.11.2015 he has left his job and also filed Ex.D/1 resignation letter from that job.Applicant filed reply of respondents' application on 10.08.2015 in which he clearly admitted that he works at Tanishk Jewellers Showroom, Kota and got a salary of Rs.17,685/-.Although on the stage of his evidence on 18.11.2016 applicant filed Ex.D/1 showing that he resigned from the said service from 15.11.2015 but has not produced the person, who gave Certificate (Ex.D/1) in this regard, so this Certificate is not believable.Even otherwise it appears strange that he left his job at the time of evidence without any cause so it is incredible and does not appear to be correct.[10] So from the evidence produced by the parties applicant's income appears only as Rs.17,685/- per month.Learned trial court also in Para 22 of his judgment held that applicant's income is Rs.17,685/- per month.In these circumstances, the amount of maintenance of Rs.15,000/- per month is on higher side looking to the income of applicant.So it is appropriate to reduce the maintenance amount.[11] Hence, Revision is partly allowed and applicant is directed to pay a maintenance Rs.5,000/- per month to respondent No.1 and Rs.2,500/- per month each to respondents No.2 and 3 instead of Rs.5,000/- per month as directed by the trial court.Remaining conditions of the trial court's order shall remain same.Accordingly, Revision stands disposed of.as per rules.Let the matter be listed after four weeks or after service of notice, whichever is earlier.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.C.No.6771/2016 22.02.2017 Shri A.K.Jain, learned counsel for the applicant.Let

A.J.K., Bhopal sent report to P.S. Malawar, Distt Rajgarh, where Police registered Crime No.184/2016 for the offence under Section 376,294, 506 of IPC and Section 3(2)(5) & 3(1)(2) of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against the appellant and investigated the matter.During investigation it was found that prosecutrix lodged false report against the appellant Gopal.In these circumstances, Police filed FR ([kkfjth fjiksVZ) in the court of Special Judge, Rajgarh.On that report Special Judge Rajgarh took cognizance against the appellant and registered Special Case No.13/2017 and issued arrest warrant for securing the presence of appellant in the case.Learned Special Judge also rejected the appellant's application filed under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. observing that from the case diary it prima facie appeared that appellant committed rape with the prosecutrix and got FR ([kkfjth fjiksVZ) filed in this case using his influence.From the case diary, provisions of Section 18 of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act get attracted.[3] Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that prosecutrix lodged false report against the appellant to harass him.During investigation, from the statement of prosecutrix herself it appeared that prosecutrix filed false report against him, so police filed FR ([kkfjth fjiksVZ) in the crime.Learned Trial Judge wrongly took cognizance against the appellant and issued warrant and that provisions of Section 18 of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act are not attracted from the case diary and prayed for anticipatory bail.Moreover, while considering the application for bail, scope for appreciation of evidence and other material on record is limited.[9] So appellant is entitled to get anticipatory bail, his appeal is allowed and it is directed that in the event of his arrest in Crime No.184/2016 registered at Police Station Malawar, District Rajgarh, in pursuance of the arrest warrant issued by the learned Special Judge Rajgarh or if he surrenders before Special Judge Rajgarh in S.T.

No.2/2006, whereby he rejected the applicant's prayer that since he has already undergone whole sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of fine so recovery proceedings be not carried out against the applicant.[2] Brief facts of this case are that, respondent/complainant filed a private complaint against the applicant under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act for dishonor of cheque.On the complaint Criminal Case No.1801/2001 was registered by Judicial Magistrate First Class, Indore and after trial Judicial Magistrate First Class, Indore found applicant guilty for the offence under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act and awarded three months' imprisonment and fine of Rs.1,25,000/- and in default of payment of fine to undergo one month's rigorous imprisonment, against which applicant filed Cr.That appeal was decided by the Additional Sessions Judge, Indore by judgment dated 29.09.2004 and affirmed the order of Trial Judge, against which applicant has also filed Cr.No.777/2004 in this court which was also rejected by this court by order dated 24.08.2005 and the judgment of the Trial Judge became final.Applicant has undergone the sentence awarded by the Trial Court.[3] After that respondent filed Cr.M.J.C. No.2/2006 to procure the compensation amount from the applicant.During prosecution of this case applicant filed an application under Section 300 of Cr.P.C. before the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Indore averting that because applicant has undergone one month's RI in default of payment of fine so the recovery proceedings of compensation amount cannot be carried out against the applicant.[4] Learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Indore rejected the prayer observing that even after undergoing the sentence in default of payment of compensation court issued recovery warrant against the applicant for recovering of compensation amount, against which applicant filed Cr.R. No.619/2016, which also was rejected by the Additional Sessions Judge, Indore.Being aggrieved with this order applicant filed this petition.[6] He placed reliance on the judgment of Rajasthan High Court passed in Ramnath V/s.Jagdish Prasad Garg and another reported in 2000 Bank J. 29, in which court held that," """"Petitioner having already undergone the punishment awarded minus the fine; petition becomes infructuous as no other mode of realisation of amount under criminal law is provided.Complainant may if he desires file civil suit for recovery.""""But in that case point whether the accused has already undergone the sentence of imprisonment in default of payment of fine and so recovery proceeding be not carried out was not in issue that Criminal Revision was filed by the accused against the judgment of conviction and sentence passed by the appellate court against him.Section 421 of Code of Criminal Procedure makes provision regarding this issue.Section 421 of Code of Criminal Procedure", 1973 reads as under :Warrant for levy of fine.(3) Where the Court issues a warrant to the Collector under clause (b) of sub- section (1), the Collector shall realise the amount in accordance with the law relating to recovery of arrears of land revenue," as if such warrant were a certificate issued under such law: Provided that no such warrant shall be executed by the arrest or detention in prison of the offender.[7] Even in the judgment of Karnataka High Court passed in Y.Vishnu V/s.""""Section 421 of Cr.P.C. provides for recovery of fine by one of the two ways or by both of them.The second mode of recovery is to issue a warrant to the Deputy Commissioner of the District", authorising him to realise the amount as arrears of land revenue.[8] So, learned trial court did not commit any mistake in issuing recovery warrant to procure the fine amount from applicant.Hence, petition is rejected.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns F.A.No.466/2007 15.02.2017 Shri Brajesh Pandya, learned counsel for the appellants.Shri Abhishek Soni, learned Govt.

learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.This Criminal Revision has been filed under Sections 397 read with Section 401 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 18.03.2016 passed by the Second A.S.J., Jaora, Link Court, Alote in S.T.No.119/2015, whereby he framed the charge against respondents under Section 306 of IPC.[2] Brief facts of this case are that on 22.09.2014 deceased Firoz Khan committed suicide in his house situated at Alote, District Ratlam.On the information Police registered merg No.31/14 under Section 174 of Cr.P.C..During investigation it was found that applicant no. 1 and 2, are the parents in law of deceased and applicant no.3 is the wife of the deceased.she is also having one daughter Roshni aged 3 years.Due to some dispute between applicant no3 and deceased their matrimonial life got strained.So applicant no. 2 came to deceased's house at Alot and took applicant No. 3 and her daughter Roshni with him.He also left a suicide note.On that basis Police Alote registered Crime No.1403/2014 for the offence under Section 306/34 of IPC against the applicant.During investigation of crime Police recorded statement of family members of the deceased and after investigation Police filed charge-sheet against the applicant for the offence under Section 306 of IPC.On that charge-sheet ST No.119/2015 was registered in the trial court and learned Second A.S.J., Link Court, Alote, District Ratlam framed the charge against applicant under Section 306 of IPC.From the statements of witnesses produced by the Police along with charge-sheet, only allegation against the applicants was that applicant No.3 wanted deceased to live with her parents at their house.Firoz committed suicide because applicant No.2 took his wife applicant No.3 and daughter with him to their house since deceased Firoz was unable to maintain his family.On that count deceased Firoz committed suicide.Applicant No.2 took applicant No.3 and her daughter Nine or Ten days before the incident.[7] In the matter of Babbi @ Jitendra V/s.Merely on the allegation of harassment without their being any positive action proximate to the time of occurrence on the part of the accused which led or compelled the person to commit suicide," conviction in terms of section 306 IPC is not sustainable.""""[10] So in the considered opinion of this court evidence collected against the applicants by the prosecution are totally insufficient to infer that the applicants abetted for suicide", they may be cause for the suicide but not the abetted.Resultant, the petition is hereby allowed.The impugned order framing charge against the applicants for the offence under Section 306 of Indian Penal Code deserves to be set aside.On the said refusal the applicant beat and threatened her.Then on 09.01.2013 she lodged the report at Mahila Thana, Indore against the applicant.On that report Police Station Mahila Thana, Indore registered Crime No.2/2013 for the offence under Section 498-A, 294 and 506 of IPC.After investigation Police filed charge-sheet against the applicant.On that charge-sheet Criminal Case No.2130/2013 was registered before the J.M.F.C., Indore and J.M.F.C., Indore framed charges under Section 498A of the IPC against the applicant and tried the matter.The case is pending for evidence before the trial court.Respondent did love marriage with applicnt and after marriage she never resided with the applicant.From the very same day she returned to Satwas.Before that report respondent also filed a report in Police Station Mahila Thana, Indore averting that applicant solemnized temporary marriage with her and soon after the marriage applicant left her.She had lived with applicant only three hours after marriage then applicant left her.So there is no question of applicant's demanding money or torturing the respondent.The FIR lodged by the respondent is false.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent submitted that from the FIR prima facie case under Section 498A of the IPC is made out.On the charge-sheet learned trial court prima facie found that offence under Section 498A, 506 and 294 of IPC is made out and framed the charge against the applicant for those offences.So there is no question of quashment of criminal case.The respondent filed another application before the Mahila Thana averting that she only lived with the applicant for three hours after marriage is not a part of charge-sheet under which circumstances, that application is filed, is a matter of evidence.The application filed by the applicant along with petition is not a part of charge-sheet.The extraordinary or inherent powers do not confer an arbitrary jurisdiction on the court to act according to its whim or caprice.The court will not be justified in embarking upon an enquiry as to the reliability or genuineness or otherwise of the allegations made in the FIR or the complaint.The following categories of cases can be stated by way of illustration wherein the extraordinary power under Article 226 or the inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC can be exercised by the High Court either to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice, though it may not be possible to lay down any precise, clearly defined and sufficiently channelised and inflexible guidelines or rigid formulae and to give an exhaustive list of myriad kinds of cases wherein such power should be exercised :(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns C.R.No.218/2012 14.02.2017 Shri Prateek Maheshwari, learned counsel for the petitioner.None present for the

regular Bench.Criminal Revision No.981/2015 10.02.2017 Shri S.S.Garg, learned Counsel for the applicant.Shri Z.A.Khan, learned Senior Counsel with Shri S.Ansari, learned counsel for the respondents.This Criminal Revision has been filed under Sections 397(1) and 401 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 01.07.2015 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Indore in Criminal Complaint No.26409/2015, whereby he took cognizance against the respondents under Section 294, 323 and 341 read with Section 34 of IPC but did not take cognizance under Sections 506 and 393 of IPC.[2] Brief facts of this case are that applicant filed a criminal complaint against the respondents averting that on 30.01.2015, at 2.45 p.m., applicant went to Life Insurance Corporation's Office, Indore, where respondents Sunil Jhinjhore and Abdul Jalal Mulla abused and beated him and another 25-30 persons confined the applicant and respondents Sunil Jhinjhore and Abdul Jalal Mulla tried to loot money from applicant.On that applicant informed Aditya Garg on phone then he came there.Respondents No.1 Sunil Jhinjhore, No.2 Abdul Jalal Mulla and No.3 Bhupendra Rathore with the aid of other persons beated Aditya Garg also and tore his shirt.Applicant and Jitendra lodged report about the incident at Police Station Tukoganj, Indore but Police did not lodge the FIR.So cognizance under Section 294,506,323, 342 and 393 read with Section 34 of IPC be taken against the respondents.Learned trial court recorded statements of applicant and Aditya Garg under Section 200/202 of Cr.P.C., then by order dated 01.07.2015 on the complaint took cognizance against the respondents under Section 294, 323 and 341 read with Section 34 of IPC but did not take cognizance under Sections 342, 506 and 393 of IPC against them.Being aggrieved from that applicant filed this Criminal Revision.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that from the complaint and statements given by the applicant and Aditya Garg (PW-2) offence under Section 393 and 506 of IPC is clearly made out.[4] Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that there is no prima facie evidence on record to take cognizance against the respondents under Section 393 and 506 of IPC, so learned trial court has not committed any mistake in not taking cognizance against the respondents under Section 393 and 506 of IPC.[5] This court perused the record and arguments put forth by both the parties.[6] Applicant only deposed that at the time of incident respondent Sunil Jhinjhore, Abdul Jalal Mulla and Dilip Jain tried to snatch money from him and respondents also threatened to break his legs that if he lodged the report in Police, he would break legs and hand of him.Words used should indicate as to what the accused was going to do and the complainant must feel as reasonable man that the accused was going to convert his words into action, but it is does not appear from the statement of complainant that complainant felt, as reasonable man, that the accused was going to convert his words in action, on the contrary complainant himself stated that after the threat of respondent to break his hands and legs if he lodged the complaint, he went to Police Station Tukoganj, for lodging the report which shows that respondent's threat caused no fear to complainant.So trial court did not commit any mistake in not taking cognizance under Section 506 of IPC, likewise complainant deposed that respondents tried to snatch money from him but it is not stated that from where respondents tried to snatch money either from his pocket or from his hand.Moreover he did not even disclose the amount he was carrying that respondents tried to snatch and where he kept that money.Due to this reason he committed suicide in his house.On that basis Police Alote registered Crime No.1403/2014 for the offence under Section 306/34 of IPC against the applicant.During investigation of crime Police recorded statement of family members of the deceased and after investigation Police filed charge-sheet against the applicant for the offence under Section 306 of IPC.On that charge-sheet ST No.119/2015 was registered in the trial court and learned Second A.S.J., Link Court, Alote, District Ratlam framed the charge against applicant under Section 306 of IPC.[3] Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that it is clear from the evidence collected by the Police against the applicant that deceased Firoz died due to consuming poison.The statements of witnesses produced by the Police along with charge-sheet.Only allegation against the applicants was that applicants want to deceased live with them at their house.Firoz committed suicide because applicants took his wife and daughter with them in their house because deceased Firoz was unable to maintain his family.Applicant No.3 Roshan Bee is serving in school, due to this reason applicants not sent their daughter with deceased, apart from that evidence there is no any other evidence against the applicants that they ill treated the deceased.Only on the ground that applicants not sent their daughter with deceased it cannot be said that applicants abetted deceased Firoz for committing suicide.He further submitted that as per prosecution case deceased Firoz was Driver by profession and he was habitual for consuming liquor and after consuming liquor he beated his wife and forcefully took with him.Applicant No.3 Roshan Bee stated to deceased that if he leaves liquor and not ill treat her.Due to this reason Firoz has committed suicide, so as per whole charge-sheet there is no whisper of evidence collected by the prosecution under Section 107 of IPC and there is no evidence of any abetment or instigation for committing suicide found by prosecution.But despite this learned trial court committed mistake in framing charge under Section 306 of IPC against the applicants.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent opposed the prayer and submitted that deceased Firoz himself in his letter mentioned that he committed suicide because applicants not sent her wife and daughter with him and applicants are liable for his suicide.So, there is ample evidence against the applicants to frame charge against the applicants under Section 306 of IPC and reject their prayer.[5] It appears from the record that only allegation against the applicants is that applicants who are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased took their daughter with them and not sent with deceased Firoz on that count deceased Firoz committed suicide.[6] Learned counsel for the applicant in this regard also placed reliance on the judgment of this court passed in Hariom S/o Ramesh Kumar V/s.State of M.P. reported in 2007(1) M.P.L.J. Page 195 in which this court held that," """"Abetment to commit suicide - Proof - The act of the accused must fall in any of the three categories as enumerated under Section 107 of IPC.It is the duty of the prosecution to establish that the accused has abetted the commission of suicide and for the purpose of determining the act of accused it is necessary to see that his act must fall in any of the three categories as enumerated under Section 107 of the Indian Penal Code.It is necessary to prove that the said accused instigated the person to commit suicide or engaged himself with one or more other persons in any conspiracy for seeing that the deceased commits suicide.In the present case there is no direct or indirect connection between the act of applicant and the act of deceased of commission of suicide.Applicant is said to have entered the house in the night", but the deceased hanged herself in the morning at about 8.00 a.m. It appears that under great stress and depression and feeling ashamed by the conduct of applicant, she committed suicide.Apparently, the charge under Section 306 of Indian Penal Code is not sustainable against applicant merely on the ground that deceased felt ashamed by the said conduct of accused.However," there is material on record to indicate that applicant had entered the house of complainant in the night.from the time of quarrel - Act of did not fall within the ambit and scope of abetment as defined under Section 306 Penal Code - No prima facie case of framing of charge for commission of offence punishable under Section 306 Penal Code is made out - Order of trial Court directing framing of charge against set aside - Revision application allowed.""""(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge F.A.No.682/2015 10.02.2017 Shri Vikas Yadav", learned counsel for the appellant.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent No.3/State.Heard on the question of admission.Appeal is admitted for final hearing.Let the appeal be listed for final hearing in due course.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.C.C.No.717/2016 10.02.2017 Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the applicants/State.The M.C.C. is for restoration of FA.No.322/2016, which has been dismissed on 20.07.2016 in compliance of peremptory order.Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that on 20.07.2016 office-in-charge could not attend the office, so defect could not be cured, because of that FA no.322/16 was dismissed.His absence is bona fide, so FA No.322/16 be restored to its original position.Looking to the reasons assigned in the application, petition is allowed.Accordingly, this M.C.C. is allowed and F.A.No.322/2016 is restored to its original position.M.C.C.No.717/2016 stands disposed of.as per rules.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.854/2016 10.02.2017 Shri Vivek Singh, learned counsel for the applicant.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.Heard on IA No.10019/2016, which is an application filed under Section 482 of Cr.P.C to renew applicant's passport.The applicant, who is an MLA is required to travel abroad for many government official works, therefore, he may be permitted to renew his passport.Prayer is allowed with the condition that the applicant will not leave India without permission of this court.as per rules.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns F.A.No.978/2016 10.02.2017 Ms. Pooja Jain, learned counsel for the appellants.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent No.2/State.Learned counsel for the appellants seeks time to argue the matter.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.1185/2016 10.02.2017 Shri Vikas Rathi, learned counsel for the appellants.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.He is directed to produce the case diary positively on the next date of hearing.Let the matter be listed on 16.02.2017, as prayed.Let the matter be listed for admission after two weeks.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.Let the matter be listed in the next week.Let the matter be listed in the next week, as prayed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.C.No.1431/2017 10.02.2017 Mrs.K.Mundra, learned counsel for the applicants.Learned counsel for the applicants seeks time to argue the matter.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.C.No.1498/2017 10.02.2017 Shri Jitendra Shejwar, learned counsel for the applicant.The M.Cr.Looking to the reasons assigned in the application, petition is allowed.Accordingly, this M.Cr.as per rules.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.C.No.1512/2017 10.02.2017 Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the applicant/State.Office is directed to call for the record.Let the matter be listed along with the record after two weeks.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.Let the matter be listed after two weeks.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns C.R.No.222/2016 09.02.2017 Shri Padmnabh Saxena, learned counsel for the applicant.Office is directed to call for the record.Let the matter be listed after four weeks or after service of notice, whichever is earlier.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns F.A.No.488/2016 09.02.2017 Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the appellants/State.None present for the respondent.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.This matter has wrongly been listed today.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.1136/2016 09.02.2017 None present for the applicant.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.1138/2016 09.02.2017 None present for the applicant.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.Record is not received as yet.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.1347/2015 09.02.2017 Shri Kantesh Gupta, learned counsel for the applicant.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent No.1/State.None present for the respondent No.2 even after service of notice.Learned counsel for the applicant seeks time to argue the matter.Prayer is accepted.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.306/2016 09.02.2017 Smt.

under Section 127 of Cr.P.C. and enhanced the maintenance amount from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.3,000/-.[2] Brief facts of this case are that respondents No.1 and 2 are minor children of the applicant.Earlier they filled M.Cr.C.No.52/2007 under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. for getting maintenance from the applicant, In that case trial court vide order dated 19.05.2010 directed the applicant to give Rs.1,000/- per month as maintenance for each of the respondents.On 04.12.2013, respondents filed an application under Section 127 of the Cr.P.C. before the trial court for enhancement of maintenance amount on the ground that the awarded amount is not sufficent for maintaining them, so amount of maintenance be enhanced.Although applicant opposed the prayer but learned trial court after recording the evidence of both the parties allowed the application and enhanced the amount from Rs.1,000/- to Rs.1,500/- for each of the respondent.Being aggrieved with the order applicant has filed this Criminal Revision.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that learned trial court without appreciating the fact that applicant is not able to give enhanced amount because his income is on lower side, on the contrary respondents are living with their mother and their mother running beauty parlor and earns Rs.15,000/- to Rs.20,000/- per month and she is able to maintain the respondents wrongly enhanced the amount of maintenance.[4] It is appeared from the evidence on record that applicant himself admitted that between the year 2010 to 2015 went inflation has doubled and also admitted that the respondents are gradually getting older so need of respondents are also growing.There is no reliable evidence on record which shows that mother of respondents is running beauty parlor and earns Rs.15,000/- to Rs.20,000/- per month.Although applicant deposed that he is a laborer and only earns Rs.4,500/- per month.but he also admitted that his mother having shop he works in the house of his mother.It is not believable that applicant is working as labourer in the house of her mother, so it appears that applicant for hiding his income wrongly deposed the facts.in these circumstances learned trial court has not committed any mistake in enhancing the maintenance amount from Rs.2,000/- to Rs.3,000/-.Hence, the Revision is dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.[2] Brief facts of this case are that, the respondents had filed an application for grant of maintenance under Section 125 of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1973 (henceforth the code) in Criminal MJC No.21/1999 before the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class Neemuch which was allowed and Respondent No.1was granted Rs.1300/- per month from 10.9.1996 and respondent No.2 was granted Rs.700/- per month from 10.9.1996 till attaining majority or till her marriage.This proceeding was transferred from the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class to Principal Judge Family Court Neemuch.[3] The applicant raised the objection that respondent No.2 has become major so she has no right to get the maintenance.Even otherwise in view of section 125(3) of the code recovery of the amount should be confined to one year prior to filing of the application.The rest of the amount stands time barred in view of subsection (3) of section 125 of the code.[4] The Principal Judge Family Court Neemuch, by order dated 21.11.2015 rejected the applicant's objection by observing that respondent No.2 became major on 01.07.2012 and she filed the application on 02.01.2013 within one year of attaining majority.So her application under Section 125 (3) Cr.P.C. is maintainable.The applicant is bound to pay maintenance to respondent No.2 from 10.09.1996 to till attaining the age of majority and of her marriage.Being aggrieved by the order, the applicant filed Cr.R.No.1591/2015, which was decided by this court vide order dated 14.12.2016 and maintained the order of the trial court observing that respondent No.2 became major on 01.07.2012 and respondent No.2 filed the said application on 02.01.2013 i.e. within one year of attaining majority which is well within time.Being aggrieved from that order applicant filed this petition.[5] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant in the revision filed before this court took an objection that respondent No.2 had become major before filing of execution but respondent No.1 Rashida filed an execution on behalf of respondent No.2 as guardian hiding the fact that she is a major.The minor could have filed an application within a year after attending majority and claimed maintenance from 1999 but the application was filed by her mother which cannot be filed after lapse of so many years.The application is time barred so impugned order may kindly be recalled.The application for getting maintenance was filed by both the respondents.Hence, this petition has no force and is hereby dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.Learned counsel for the applicants prays for time to argue the matter.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.Let the matter be listed after two weeks, as prayed.Let the matter be listed after two

Anita Jain, learned counsel for the applicant.Shri Lokesh Mehta, learned counsel for the respondent.Learned counsel for the applicant filed a copy of statement of respondent Smt. Pooja Sarkar recorded by the trial court in MJC No.120/2015, which is taken on record.This Criminal Revision has been filed under Section 19(4) of the Family Courts Act, 1984 read with Section 397 and 401 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 13.10.2015 passed by the Second Additional Principal Judge, Family Court, Indore in M.J.C.No.3881/2015, whereby applicant is directed to pay Rs.3,000/- per month as interim maintenance to the respondent during trial of the case.[2] Brief facts of this case are that respondent filed an application under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. before the Second Principal Judge, Family Court, Indore for getting maintenance from the applicant and also filed an application for getting interim maintenance during trial of the case.Learned trial court observing that respondent is the legally wedded wife of applicant and presently living separate from the applicant and it is the duty of the applicant to maintain her, directed the applicant to pay Rs.3,000/- per month as interim maintenance to the respondent during trial of the case.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that learned trial court without appreciating the fact that respondent voluntarily without any cause is living separately from the applicant, so she is not entitled for any maintenance.Even otherwise respondent helps her parents in business and earns Rs.15,000/- to Rs.20,000/- and she is able to maintain herself while applicant is unemployed and unable to give maintenance to the respondent.Thus, learned trial court has wrongly ordered the applicant to pay Rs.3,000/- per month as interim maintenance during trial of the case.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent submitted that applicant without any cause refused to maintain the respondent.So learned trial court has not committed any mistake in awarding Rs.3,000/- per month as interim maintenance during trial of the case.[5] This Court has gone through the record and arguments put forth by the parties.It is admitted that respondent is a legally wedded wife of the applicant and at present living with her parents.In that circumstances, respondent is entitled to get maintenance from the applicant.Whether respondent is voluntarily living separately from the applicant or she is able to maintain herself is a matter of evidence.It cannot be decided at this stage without evidence.Although applicant stated that he is unemployed presently and it is admitted that applicant is a Software Engineer.It is not the case of the applicant that he is unable to do work because of any inability.So under these circumstances, if learned trial court awarded Rs.3,000/- per month as interim maintenance during trial of the case to the respondent, it cannot be said to be wrong.So, Revision is dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.As per report received of non-bailable warrant of appellant, Remsingh has died on 03.01.2016, so appeal is abated against appellant No.1 Remsingh.Learned counsel for the appellants is directed to delete the name of appellant No.1 Remsingh from appeal memo.Learned counsel for the appellants wants time to produce appellant No.2 Vinod before this court.Let the matter be listed on 20.02.2017 for appearance of the appellant No.2 Vinod.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns F.A.No.1001/2016 07.02.2017 Shri P.K.Sohani, learned counsel for the appellants.Shri Sanjay Karanjawala, learned Govt.

No.89/2016 06.02.2017 Shri Anil Kumar Jain, learned counsel for the applicant.None for the respondents even after service of notice.Heard finally at motion stage.[2] Brief facts of this case are that applicant filed a Civil Suit No.30-A/2014 before the Second Civil Judge, Class-II, Nagda against the respondents for declaring him owner of suit land and restraining the respondent to interfere in his possession in the suit land.For setting aside that judgment and decree respondents filed an application under Order 9 Rule 13 of the CPC on 01.09.2015 before the trial court and also filed an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condoning the delay in filing the application before the trial court.In reply applicant opposed the prayer.But Learned trial court allowed the application observing that the disposal of case should be on merits and not only on technical grounds.Being aggrieved by the impugned order applicant filed this Civil Revision.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that learned trial court wrongly allowed the application of respondents without giving an opportunity for producing evidence.[4] It appears from the record that the applicant in his reply opposed the prayer of respondents.The application filed by the respondents is also time barred and respondent also filed an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act to condone the delay in filing the application under Order 9 Rule 13 of the CPC.In that circumstances it is the duty of the court to give opportunity to the parties to give evidence in support of their contentions.Learned trial court without giving proper opportunities to both the parties to produce evidence in support of their contentions decided the application, which cannot be said to be correct.Thereafter, give an opportunity to the applicant for rebuttal and then again decide the application on merits.Accordingly, the Revision is disposed of.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.Cr.This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure against the order dated 22.09.2015 passed by the learned First A.S.J., Mandleshwar in Special Case No.18/2013, whereby learned Judge rejected the application filed by the applicant under Section 311 of Cr.P.C. to recall the complainant Nawal Singh for further cross-examination.[2] Brief facts of this case are that applicant is facing trial for the offences under Sections 7, 13(1)(d) read with Section 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act for taking bribe from complainant Naval Singh for correcting entries of revenue record.[3] During trial of the case on 22.09.2015 applicant filed an application under Section 311 of Cr.P.C. averting that according to the information received by the applicant from office of Tehsildar Tehsil Bhagwanpura, District Khargone complainant did not file any application before the office of Tehsildar Tehsil Bhagwanpura, District Khargone for correcting the revenue entries and procuring new Bhoo Adhikar Pustika.So, he wants further cross-examination of complainant in this regard.[4] Respondent in his reply opposed the prayer and averted that from the documents produced with charge-sheet it is clear that the work of complainant was pending before the applicant at the time of incident and pray for rejection.[5] Learned trial court rejected his application observing that earlier also applicant had filed application under Section 311 of Cr.P.C. on 08.05.2015 which was rejected by this court.Applicant again filed the application on the same ground.There is no need to recall the complainant for re-examination and that applicant is free to file document in his defence.Being aggrieved from this applicant has filed this petition.[6] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant is facing trial for allegedly demanding and taking illegal gratification for correcting revenue entries of complainant's land and issuing new Bhoo Adhikar Pustika while the information received from office of Tehsildar Tehsil Bhagwanpura, District Khargone after completion of examination of complainants Naval Singh (PW1) before trial court shows that no such work of complainant was pending before the revenue authority at the time of incident.So it is essential to cross examine the complainant on the point on the basis of information received.The trial court wrongly rejected his application for further cross-examination of complainant in this regard.[7] Learned counsel for the respondent opposed the prayer and submitted that applicant had full opportunity to cross-examine the complainant and he has filed this application only for delaying the trial.Learned trial court has rightly rejected the prayer.At that time trial court gave full opportunity to the applicant to cross- examine the complainant.Applicant himself averted in the petition that he received the information on 11/11/14 while applicant filed the application for further cross examine the complainant before trial court on 03/06/15, almost seven months after receiving the information.Applicant also had full opportunity to file the said documents in his defence.So trial court did not commit any mistake in rejecting the prayer.Hence, the petition is dismissed.Criminal Revision No.1422/2015 03.02.2017 Shri Pankaj Ajmera, learned counsel appears on behalf of Shri P.K.Gupta, learned counsel for the applicant.C.No.552/2013 whereby he allowed the application of respondent filed under Section 125 of Cr.P.C. and directed the applicant to pay Rs.4,000/- per month as maintenance to respondent.Applicant and his family members asked for a sum of Rs.10,0,000/- cash, a tractor and a car from the parents of respondent for taking her back.Aggrieved by such behaviour of the applicant and his family members respondent filed a petition before the Family Court, Indore for restitution of conjugal rights.Learned Trial Court allowed the applicant's petition.In compliance of that order applicant took the respondent along with him on 01.02.2013, but his behaviour with the respondent remained same but after sometime he left the respondent at her parental house.Then respondent lodged the report against the applicant in Police Station Malharganj.On the report Crime No.251/2013 was registered, which is already pending against the applicant.Applicant is also having business of selling milk and earns Rs.10,000/- per month and is able to maintain respondent, but has refused to maintain the respondent without any sufficient cause.So, the applicant is directed to pay Rs.10,000/- per month as maintenance.[3] Applicant in his reply opposed the prayer and denied the allegation levelled by the respondent against him and averted that family members of the respondent solemnized the marriage of respondent with applicant deceiving the fact that she is handicapped .Also, at the time of marriage applicant was minor, so applicant's marriage with respondent is void.Applicant never demanded any dowry and never harassed the respondent.Respondent made false allegation in this regard in her application.Respondent works as Beautician and also works in a private company and earns Rs.13,000/-per month and is able to maintain herself, while applicant earns only Rs.30000-35,000/- per year and he is not able to maintain respondent and prays for rejection of application.[4] Learned Trial Court after recording evidence of both the parties allowed the application of respondent and directed the applicant to pay Rs.4,000/- per month as maintenance to respondent observing that respondent is a legally wedded wife of applicant and is not able to maintain herself while applicant who is able to maintain her is not maintaining respondent without any sufficient cause.[5] Being aggrieved by the impugned order applicant filed this revision.[6] Learned Counsel for the applicant submitted that Trial Court by the order dated 18.03.2015 wrongly closed the right of applicant to cross-examine the respondent due to which because applicant was debarred from his right.It is also proved from the evidence that respondent was minor at the time of marriage and the family members of the respondent solemnized marriage of respondent with applicant deceiving the fact that respondent is handicapped.Since applicant was minor at the time of marriage, so marriage of respondent with applicant is void.In these circumstances respondent has no right to claim maintenance.Even otherwise it is clearly proved from the evidence produced by the parties that respondent is able to maintain herself while applicant is having only 1/6th share in 10 Bigha of his agriculture land and only earns Rs.30000-35,000/- per annum.Trial Court without appreciating the fact wrongly awarded Rs.4,000/- per month maintenance.[7] Learned counsel for the respondent submitted that Trial Court after appreciating all the evidence rightly awarded maintenance of Rs.4,000/-.There is no need for interference in that order and pray for rejection of the petition.[8] The court perused the record and arguments put forth by the parties.It appeared from the record that learned Trial Court by order dated 18.03.2015 closed the right of applicant to cross-examine the respondent but at the same time it also appeared from the record that on 22.09.2014 respondent and her brother was present in the court for giving evidence but applicant sought time to cross-examine.On that date applicant yet again sought time to cross-examine the respondent whereupon trial court gave one more opportunity by way of last indulgence and case was fixed for 18.03.2015 but again on that date applicant sought time to cross-examine the respondent.Then Trial Court closed the right of applicant to cross-examine the respondent.Where, even after taking four opportunities the applicant did not cross-examine the respondent, the trial court did not commit any error in closing the right of applicant to cross-examine the respondent.[9] Although applicant stated that parents of the respondent solemnized marriage of respondent with him deceiving the fact that respondent is handicapped so marriage is void but it does not appear to be correct.Because applicant himself admitted that after marriage respondent lived with him for three years and if parents of respondent solemnized marriage of respondent with applicant deceiving the fact that respondent is handicapped then applicant should have filed the suit for declaring the marriage void on that ground then and there.[10] Applicant also stated that at the time of marriage he was minor so his marriage with respondent is void but as per hindu marriage Act the marriage of a minor is not void.It is not the case of applicant that he after attaining the majority filed any suit for annulling the marriage on that ground.[11] Respondent clearly deposed that after marriage she lived with the applicant for three years but after that applicant sent the respondent with her brother to her maternal home and never recalled her back.Then she filed the petition before the Family Court.On the order of Family Court applicant took her but after one & half year applicant again left her in her parental home.Since then respondent is living with her father.The statement of respondent is corroborated by the statement of Pradeep (PW-2).Respondent also deposed that applicant did natra with Pooja and at present Pooja is living with the applicant as his wife.Applicant himself in his cross-examination clearly admitted that he was not ready to keep respondent with him which shows that applicant himself not willing to keep respondent with him.[12] Respondent also deposed that she is handicapped and she has no earning.Although applicant stated that respondent teaches children and also does sewing work and earns Rs.20000 to 22,000/- per month but respondent clearly denied this fact.Applicant did not produce any cogent evidence which proves that respondent teaches children and also does sewing work and earns Rs.20,000 to 22,000/- per month.[13] So it is clearly proved that respondent is a legally wedded wife of applicant and is not able to maintain herself while applicant is able to maintain respondent but has refused to maintain her without any sufficient cause.In these circumstances respondent is entitled to get maintenance from the applicant.[14] As far as the amount of maintenance is concerned.It appears from the record that learned trial court on the basis of Ex.P/4 and P/5 revenue papers of agricultural land of applicant assumed that applicant is having sufficient income but it is clear from Ex.P/4 and P/5 that applicant has only 1/6th share in total 2.516 hectare land mentioned in Khasra and Khatoni.So the maintenance awarded by the trial court to the applicant appears to be on the higher side.It is appropriate to reduce the amount of maintenance from Rs.4,000/- to Rs.3,000/-.Accordingly, the Revision is partly allowed and the maintenance amount awarded by the trial court to the applicant is reduced from Rs.4,000/- to Rs.3,000/-per month.Remaining conditions of the trial court order shall remain the same.The revision is disposed of accordingly.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns C.R.No.135/2016 06.02.2017 Shri Nilesh Sharma, learned counsel for the applicants.Let

seven years with fine of Rs.3,000/- and imprisonment for life with fine of Rs.5,000/- respectively.According to prosecution story, on 21.6.2016, at 5.30 p.m., in village Multanpura when injured Fajju

witnesses Ibrahim (PW-2), Farukh (PW-5), Farida (PW-6) have clearly stated that appellant was also present on the spot armed with gun and he also beated Fajju along with other co-accused and prayed for rejection.This Court has carefully gone through the case and judgment delivered by the Court below and arguments put forth by the learned counsel for the parties.The case of the appellant Abid is not similar to other co-accused, who have been earlier granted bail by this court.It is clearly mentioned in the FIR lodged by eye witness Ibrahim (PW-2) that Abid was also present on the spot with gun and assaulted deceased Afzal by butt of gun in his legs.Injured Fajju (PW-4) and other eye witnesses Ibrahim (PW-2), Farukh (PW-5) and Farida (PW-6) have clearly stated that appellant was also present on the spot armed with gun.He also beated Fajju (PW-4) along with other co-accused and injured Fajju (PW-4) also deposed that Abid break the leg of deceased Afzal.According to the postmortem report, deceased Afzal sustained 13 injuries including on legs, therefore, looking to the facts and circumstances of the case it is not appropriate to release the appellant on bail, hence, the application is rejected.The appeal is already admitted, therefore, let the appeal be listed for final hearing in due course.as per rules.Ms. Pooja Jain, learned counsel for the appellant.Learned

+"On 19.08.1990, the appellant Chat Pal was found wearing one HMT Supria wrist watch on his wrist.However, we find that Exhibit PW21/B, which is the personal search memo of the very same appellant Chat Pal, does not mention any watch being recovered on the personal search being conducted.Exhibit PW21/G, which is a seizure memo, indicates that Narain was wearing the HMT watch on his left wrist, but Exhibit PW21/A, which is the personal search memo, does not mention any watch and only a sum of ` 20/- is said to have been found on the person of the appellant Narain.Here again, the witnesses of the seizure memo and the personal search memo are the same, namely, SI Ram Kanwar and HC Surender Singh.Similarly, in the case of the appellant Chet Ram, we find that the seizure memo Exhibit PW22/E mentions a gold ring with the words Darshan Lal engraved on it as well as a rexine purse containing ` 550/-.It is also mentioned in the seizure memo that the gold ring was worn by Chet Ram on the ring finger of his left hand.However, Exhibit PW22/A, which is the personal search memo of the same date, that is, 30.07.1990, has only a reference to a sum of ` 17/- in cash plus one bus ticket worth ` 20/- and one dagger.It is, therefore, clear that the personal search memo is at complete variance with the seizure memo in the case of Chet Ram also as in the case of Chat Pal and Narain.AND + CRL.A. 332/1997 CHET RAM ...

To be referred to the Reporter or not?Whether the judgment should be reported in Digest? Yes BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J (ORAL)These three appeals are being disposed of together by a common judgment inasmuch as they arise out of the same FIR and are directed against the common judgment dated 10.07.1997 passed by the CRL.The three appellants, namely, Chet Ram, Chat Pal @ Sat Pal and Narain along with Chakori Lal were charged under Sections 120B, 302 read with 120B, 392 read with 120B IPC.However, the Trial Court acquitted Chakori Lal of all charges.We may also point out that when the charge-sheet was filed, one Lakhan Pal was also named as an accused but he passed away before the framing of charges.The appellant Chet Ram, Narain and Chat Pal were also charged in the alternative under Sections 302 read with 34, 392 read with 34 and 394 IPC.By virtue of the impugned judgment, the appellants Chet Ram, Narain and Chat Pal @ Satpal have been convicted for having committed the offences under Sections 302 read with 34, 392 read with 34 and 394 IPC.All the three accused were awarded a sentence of rigorous imprisonment for five years and a fine of ` 1,000/- each for the offence under Section 392 read with 34 IPC and in default of payment of the fine, the appellants were also required to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year.In respect of the offence under Section 394/34 IPC, each of the appellants were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for seven years as well as were liable to pay a fine of ` 2,000/- and in default whereof, they were to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years.With regard to the offence under Section CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.2 of 20 302 read with 34 IPC, each of the appellants were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life and also to pay a fine of ` 5,000/- each and in default of payment thereof to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.The benefit of Section 428 Cr.P.C was to be given to the appellants and their sentences were to run concurrently.The appellants have been convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence.In the alleged incident, which is said to have taken place on 23.07.1990, Smt. Kamla Kakkar was found dead in her house by her daughter PW1 Renuka Sethi at about 1:45 pm.It is on the basis of her statement Exhibit PW1/A that the ruqqa and subsequently the FIR was registered.The case of the prosecution was that the appellants along with Chakori Lal (since acquitted) and Lakhan Pal (since deceased) were doing some construction work at the residence of the said Smt. Kamla Kakkar and that with the intention of committing robbery, they committed the murder of Smt. Kamla Kakkar, who was alone in the house when the incident took place.The prosecution has sought to bring home the conviction on the basis of the testimonies of PW5 Darshan Lal Kakkar, PW10 Rakesh Kakkar, PW1 Renuka Sethi and PW4 Surjeet Kaur (Chawla).Apart from the testimonies of these witnesses, the prosecution has also sought to prove its case by virtue of the alleged recoveries made from the appellants.It is alleged that one CRL. A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.3 of 20 HMT watch of Supria make was recovered from Chat Pal; one gold ring, which had Darshan Lal engraved in it, was allegedly recovered from Chet Ram and one HMT gold-plated stainless steel watch was said to have been recovered from the appellant Narain.On the basis of the testimonies of PW5 and PW10, which were regarded as the last seen evidence and on the basis of the supporting and corroborative testimonies of PW1 Renuka Sethi and PW4 Smt. Surjit Kaur as well as on the basis of the alleged recoveries made from the said appellants, the prosecution has attempted to bring home the guilt of the said appellants in the said offence.Only a sum of ` 20/- is said to have recovered at the time of the conduct of the personal search.The witnesses of the seizure memo Exhibit PW21/E and the personal search memo Exhibit PW21/B are the same, namely, SI Ram Kanwar and HC Surender Singh.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.4 of 20 Therefore, we are in agreement with the submission made by the learned counsel for the appellants that the recovery of the said watch becomes very doubtful.While the seizure memo says that he was wearing the watch, the personal search memo does not disclose any watch.The CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.5 of 20 witnesses to the seizure memo in the case of Chet Ram as also the personal search memo were also the same, namely, SI Manohar Lal and SI Ram Kanwar.Considering the aforesaid contradictions between the seizure memo and the personal search memo, as also the fact that the said articles were not recovered pursuant to any disclosure but were alleged to have been found on the persons of the appellants, we feel that no reliance can be placed on the said recoveries as they appear to be extremely doubtful.Consequently, the question of identification of these articles at the instance of PW5 Darshan Lal Kakkar is also of no relevance.This leaves us with the testimonies of PW5, Darshan Lal Kakkar and PW10 Rakesh Kakkar, who have been produced in the witness box as the last seen witnesses.PW5 Darshan Lal Kkkar in his testimony has clearly stated that work had been going on at his flat and one Chakori Lal had been fetched by his son Rakesh Kakkar and work had been done for about eight days.Chakori Lal had brought the other accused for the purposes of the said construction work and it was Chakori Lal who had supervised the work.However, since rains had started, the work had been discontinued.He further testified that about four days prior to 23.07.1990, at the instance of Chat Pal, work was resumed under the said flat.He stated that on that day at about 10:30 CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.6 of 20 am, Chat Pal @ Satpal had come to his flat and had told him that he could get the work completed otherwise they would be going to their village.The witness further stated that considering the fact that these persons were already known to him, he thought it better to get the work completed from them and as such, he told Chat Pal @ Sat Pal to bring his labour and to complete the job.At about 11 am, Chat Pal brought with him Narain, Lakhan Pal and Chet Ram and they started doing their work in his flat.He further stated that soon thereafter, Chakori Lal also came to his flat and after talking to Chat Pal, Narain, Chet Ram and Lakhan Pal went away.He stated that thereafter, he also left his flat leaving Chat Pal, Narain, Chet Ram and Lakhan Pal at his premises besides his wife Kamla Kakkar and his son Rakesh Kakkar, who was also present at the flat.He had left his flat to attend his work at Patiala House.The witness also stated that on the same day, that is, on 23.07.1990 in the afternoon, he received information that his wife Kamla had been murdered.PW10 Rakesh Kakkar had corroborated whatever had been stated by his father PW5 Darhsan Lal Kakkar.He further stated that he remained in his house up to 11:45 am on 23.07.1990 and that his father remained in the house up to 11:30 am and then went to Patiala House Courts.After 11:45 am, he left the house and went to attend his job.He returned at 3 pm and at that point of time he saw a crowd had CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.7 of 20 collected outside the house as well as inside and his sister Renuka Sethi met him there.He stated categorically in his examination-in-chief that when he left his house at 11:45 am, then, only his mother was in the house and the accused persons were working there.He stated that when he returned to the house at 3 pm his sister told him that their mother had expired and the police had taken her to hospital in a vehicle.In cross-examination, this witness, however, stated that he had not stated to the police that when he left his house at 11:45 am on the day of occurrence, then only his mother was in the house and the accused persons were working there.The learned counsel for the appellants sought to infer from this statement made in cross- examination that PW10 Rakesh Kakkar had made improvements in his statement before Court.However, we do not feel that such an inference can be drawn.The testimonies of PW5 and PW10 have to be read in conjunction and once that is done, it is apparent that the prosecution has been able to establish that on 23.07.1990 the appellants along with Lakhan Pal had started work at the flat of the deceased and that till 11:30 am on that date, both PW5 and PW10 along with Smt. Kamla Kakkar and the accused persons were present in the flat.At 11:30 am, PW5 Darshan Lal Kakkar left the flat to attend his work at Patiala House Courts and that at 11:45 am, PW10 Rakesh Kakkar also left the flat leaving his mother alone with the accused persons who were doing construction work in the said flat.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.8 of 20 PW10 is the witness who last saw his mother alive and at that point of time, she was alone in the flat in the company of the accused persons who were doing construction work.The next important witness is PW1 Renuka Sethi, who stated that as usual she used to have lunch with her mother at the said flat.She reached there at 1:45 pm and found her mother to be dead.At that point of time, she became hysterical and raised an alarm whereupon, PW4 Smt. Surjeet Kaur also known as Smt. Chawla, who was residing in the ground floor, had apparently told her that Sat Pal and two others had come to the said flat.Although this part of the testimony is hearsay and no reliance can be placed thereon, it is clear that when PW1 Renuka Sethi arrived at the flat at 1:45 pm, her mother was dead.The time gap between Smt. Kamla Kakkar having been seen alive and when she was found dead was 11:45 am to 1:45 pm, which is only a period of two hours.When she was alive, Smt. Kamla Kakkar was in the flat along with the appellants, who were working there.The said appellants were supposed to work for the whole day but, when an opportunity was given to them under Section 313, Cr. P. C, they have not given any explanation as to why they were absent when PW1 Renuka Sethi arrived at the flat at 1:45 pm.In fact, each of the appellants has given a blank denial to all the circumstances which were put to them in the course of their making their Section 313 statements.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.9 of 20Coupled with this very important circumstance of the last seen evidence, is the fact that each of the appellants was absconding after the said incident.All of them, as mentioned above, refused the Test Identification Parade.In view of the foregoing, we do not find any fault with the decision of the trial court in returning a finding of guilt insofar as the appellants Chet Ram, Narain and Chat Pal @ Sat Pal are concerned.They have been rightly convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC.The matter, however, does not end here.We find that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal had made a plea that he was a juvenile before the trial court.Unfortunately, that plea got lost in the records of the trial and no finding was returned by the trial court, although the ossification report clearly suggested that he was only 14-15 years old.The order-sheet reveals that on 21.01.1991, as no report had been received, the Learned Additional Sessions Judge directed the Superintendent, Tihar to appear before the CRL.On 04.03.1991, the complainant had filed an application stating that the X-ray report should not be accepted and a prayer was made that the appellant Chat Pal be referred to the Board of some government hospital.The order dated 11.11.1991 records the factum of an application of treating Chat Pal as a juvenile.Then, we have an application of the Jail Superintendent dated 22.03.1996 stating that Chat Pal has been behaving abnormally and has become mentally upset and even had attempted committing suicide.A prayer was made that in case he committed or attempted to commit suicide, then the jail administration shall be placed in an embarrassing position.In the meanwhile, we find from the lower court record, that on 22.02.1991, Dr B. K. Dey, Medical Officer, Central Jail, Tihar, New Delhi had submitted a report with reference to the letter dated 05.01.1991 regarding age estimation of the appellant Chat Pal.It was returned that his age was between 14-15 years on 23.01.1992 according to the Department of Forensic Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi conducted by Dr S. K. Khanna No. 32/91 dated 23.01.1991 at 12:30 pm.The age estimation report from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, Department of Forensic Medicine, dated 23.01.1991 is also on record and the opinion clearly CRL. A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.11 of 20 shows that based on physical, dental and radiological findings, when taken together, the age of the person examined (Chat Pal) was between 14 and 15 years.It is, therefore, abundantly clear that as on 23.01.1991 Chat Pal was 14-15 years old, which would make him 13-14 years old on 23.07.1990, which is the date of the occurrence.Clearly, Chat Pal was a juvenile within the definition of Section 2(k) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the said Act).When the said Act come into force, the impugned judgment and order on sentence had already been delivered / passed.Consequently, Section 20 of the said Act would be relevant for our purposes.Section 20, as amended up to date, reads as under:-Special provision in respect of pending cases.- Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, all proceedings in respect of a juvenile pending in any court in any area on the date on which this Act comes into force in that area, shall be continued in that court as if this Act had not been passed and if the court finds that the juvenile has committed an offence, it shall record such finding and instead of passing any sentence in respect of the juvenile, forward the juvenile to the Board which shall pass orders in respect of that juvenile in accordance with the provisions of this Act as if it had been satisfied on inquiry under this Act that a juvenile has committed the offence.Provided that the Board may, for any adequate and special reason to be mentioned in the order, review the case and pass appropriate order in the interest of such juvenile.It is, therefore, clear that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal, being a juvenile in conflict with law, could have, in the maximum, suffered a detention for a period of three years only.But, from the nominal roll on record of the appellant Chat Pal, it appears that as on 02.03.2002, he had already been in custody for a period of 11 years, six months and 23 days and had also earned remission of 1 year, 4 months and 26 days.But, as he could not arrange for the surety, an application, being Crl.By an order dated 21.02.2003, the surety amount was reduced to ` 10,000/- and the requirement of the number of sureties was also reduced to one.Despite this, as the appellant Chat Pal @ Sat Pal was extremely poor, he could not arrange for the surety and moved another application, being Crl.M. A. 3178/2003, for modification of the said order dated 21.02.2003 for further reduction in the surety amount.This application was allowed by an order dated 19.12.2003 and the surety amount was reduced to ` 5,000/-.As the appellant Chat Pal @ Sat Pal was not being able to arrange even a surety of ` 5,000/-, CRL. A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.17 of 20 an application, being Crl.M. A. 5875/2004 had been moved for reducing the surety amount to ` 1000/-.Unfortunately, this fact was not brought to the notice of the Court on 19.07.2004 when the Crl.M.A. 5875/2004 came up for hearing.On that day, the Court, however, rejected the application for any further reduction in the surety.This is when Chat Pal @ Sat Pal could not have been kept in detention for a period of more than three years by virtue of the provisions of the said Act. Consequently, while we uphold the finding that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal had committed the offence under Section 302/34 IPC, the sentence awarded to him is set aside.Since he could not have been kept in detention for a period of more than three years and because he has already been in custody for 13 years, 10 months and 27 days, Chat Pal @ Sat Pal cannot be kept in detention any further.He is to be set at liberty.In this case, an application had been moved claiming that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal was a juvenile and, in fact, the medical report was also available on record, but the trial court, unfortunately, did not pursue the matter any further.This sort of an attitude would result in a great travesty of justice.This Court had, by its order dated 21.04.2010, directed the concerned Additional Sessions Judge to initiate proceedings against all the three appellants as also proceedings under Section 446 Cr.P.C. against the sureties.In so far as the appellant Chat Pal @ Sat Pal is concerned, those proceedings are to be dropped.However, the same would continue in respect of the other two appellants so that they are apprehended and they are made to serve out the rest of their sentences.The appeals are decided accordingly.BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J MANMOHAN SINGH, J FEBRUARY 10, 2011 SR/P CRL.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 394 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 392 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dharmadhikari, J.Both petitions involve identical questions of fact and law and were heard together.They are being disposed off by this common judgment.It is directed against an order dated 7.5.2002 passed in Miscellaneous Application No. 7 of 2002 by Special Judge Mumbai in Complaint ACB/BMU Criminal No. 29 of 2000 and the Sanction Order dated 6.12.2002 passed by the Additional Director General of Police (Law & Order), Mumbai.Therefore, PSI Shinde told the complainant to come after 2-3 days.At 19.30 hrs the complainant was produced before Sr.P.I.Shri Jedhe.The complainant has stated that Sr.P.I.Jedhe told the complainant that his work will be done and he will have to pay the amount as per the say of PI Sanghai and the complainant was allowed to go.When the complainant attended Mahim Police Station on 25.7.2000 at 19.00 hrs as per the call from PSI Shinde, he met PI Sanghai.Thereafter PSI Shinde was called by P.I. Sanghai.P.I. Sanghai then demanded Rs. 10,00,000/- for not arresting the complainant and others.The complainant accompanied by panch witness Shri Dhumal met P.I. Sanghai at Main gate of Mahim Police Station at 18.25 hrs.At that time P.I. Sanghai asked for amount of Rs. 10,00,000/-.Over this the complainant told that he will pay Rs. 3,00,000/-after taking the same from Shri Dhumal, who is his relative.The complainant was asked to wait till the arrival of PSI Shinde.Thus, it is alleged that on 26th July, 2000 at about 6.00 p.m. Shri Sanghai (Petitioner in first petition) attempted to obtain a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs for himself and on behalf of the Petitioner in the second petition from the Complainant as gratification other than legal remuneration as a motive or reward for doing or for bearing to do official Acts or for showing favour or for bearing to show disfavour in exercise of their official functions to the Complainant in the matter of not arresting him and others in an offence registered against him at Mahim Police Station.I.P.C. r/w. 3, 25 Arms Act.On 27.7.2000 the Petitioner was arrested but was released on bail on the following day as per the order of the court.During the course of the investigation, statements of various persons were recorded.A draft sanction order was sent to the Competent Authority for getting sanction to prosecute the Petitioner Accused and one P.S.I.Shinde.However, the Learned Special Judge while rejecting this Application observed that the matter be referred to the Sanctioning Authority for Re-consideration.The Special Judge directed that after the Sanctioning Authority takes necessary steps, the A.C.B can approach the Special Court.The order passed on 7.5.2002 and the subsequent act of the Sanctioning Authority of grant of sanction is under challenge in this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Article 227 of the Constitution of India.The second Writ Petition is by co-accused Dilip Shinde and the facts and circumstances narrated therein are identical.After making such observations, the Special Judge rejected the application of the prosecution and referred the matter back for reconsideration of the Sanctioning Authority.Thus, the Special Judge granted one opportunity to the Authority to consider the matter of sanction afresh.The Sanctioning Authority has reconsidered the whole matter and accorded sanction for prosecution of the petitioners before me.I have perused the application which was preferred by the prosecution before the Special Judge.The petitioner did not make any application before the Special Judge but the prosecution applied for closure of the case.On the prosecutions application the Learned Judge made the observations as above and rejected the same.The Learned Judge only referred the matter for reconsideration of the Sanctioning Authority.The other argument is that the Special Judge did not grant any opportunity to the petitioners before observing that the matter deserves to be referred back for reconsideration of the Sanctioning Authority.In my view, the Learned Judge was considering the application of the prosecution for closure of the said case/proceedings therein.",['Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No. 269/2007 Page 2 of 11On 6th August, 2001 the Petitioner filed a Revision Petition bearing CR (R) No. 29/2001 in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge against the order dated 1st June, 2001 framing charges against the Petitioner- Accused.Before receiving any notice of Petitioner's revision petition, on 8th August, 2001, which was the next date of hearing before the trial court, CBI filed two applications.While the first application was filed to place on record some documents, the second application was filed under Section 216 Cr.P.C. contending that the trial court had inadvertently not framed charges against the Petitioner under Section 120B read with Sections 465, 467, 474, 380 and 411 of IPC and Sections 12(1)(a) and (b) read with Section 3 of PassportsWhile the application under Section 216 Cr.The Additional Sessions Judge in its judgment and order dated 7th January, 2003 concluded that the trial court had rightly found a prima facie case against the Petitioner-Accused for the offences for which he had been charged.On 17th November, 2004 the trial court dismissed the CBI's application filed under Section 216 Cr.While setting aside the order dated 17th November, 2004 the Additional Sessions Judge directed the trial court to pass a reasoned order on CBI's application under Section 216 Cr.Mr. Ajay Burman, learned Counsel for Petitioner has contended that for the Sections for which the Petitioner has been discharged vide order Crl.M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 4 of 11 dated 1st June, 2001, no application under Section 216 Cr.P.C. was maintainable as the order framing charges had attained finality.P.C., the order framing charges dated 1st June, 2001 had attained finality.He further submitted that in case CBI was aggrieved by the order framing charges dated 1st June, 2001 the only recourse open to it was to file a revision against the said order - which it had failed to do so till date.M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 4 of 11He further pointed out that by the impugned order dated 13th October, 2006, the Additional Sessions Judge had revised the initial order framing charges.Having heard the parties and having perused the file, I am of the opinion that the initial order dated 1st June, 2001, by virtue of which the charges have been framed, is a non-reasoned and non-speaking order.The said order records that arguments on the point of sentence have been heard.A perusal of the first revisional order dated 7th January, 2003 clearly shows that the said court only applied its mind to the offences for Crl.M.C.

Karpagavinayagam, J.Samsu alias Samsudeen, the appellant in Crl.A.No.401 of 2000 and Sarafudeen and Hakkim alias Abdul Hakkim, the appellants in Crl.They have filed these two appeals, seeking to set aside the judgment of conviction imposed on them by the trial Court for the offence under Section 302 IPC and sentence to undergo life imprisonment each.Short facts leading to conviction are as follows:(a) Two days prior to the date of occurrence, one Constable Selvaraj was done to death by some Muslim fundamentalists.In retaliation, the Muslim people were attacked and there was a law and order problem throughout the area.The Police also announced that public should not come out, in view of the said law and order problem.(b) On the date of occurrence, i.e. on 1.12.1997, the deceased Ramasamy, along with his wife, P.W.2 Parvathamani, went to the Government Sewerage Farm to cut grass.P.W.1 Subramanian, the elder brother of the deceased, was working as an employee in the Municipality.After the work was over, P.W.1, who came by that way, accompanied P.W.2, the wife of the deceased and the deceased, while returning home.(k) On 3.12.1997, P.W.12, the Special CB-CID Officer (Inspector of Police) took up further investigation and examined P.W.3 and others.On 27.12.1997, P.W.12 Inspector of Police arrested all the three accused and on their confession, M.Os.2,3 and 4, the bloodstained knives, were recovered.He sent the material objects for chemical analysis.After completion of the investigation, he filed the charge sheet against the accused persons for the offence under Section 302 read with 34 IPC.(l) During the course of trial, P.Ws.1 to 12 were examined, Exs.P-1 to P-21 were filed and M.Os.1 to 7 were marked.(m) When the accused persons were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C., they denied their complicity in the crime.They stated that they were taken to custody ten days earlier to the date of arrest and had been illegally detained in the Police Station.However, no evidence was adduced on the side of defence.(n) The trial Court, after assessing the evidence adduced by the prosecution, found all the accused guilty of the offence under Section 302 IPC and convicted and sentenced them as stated above.Hence, these appeals.R.Sankara Subbu and Mr.A.K.S.Thahir, learned counsel for the appellants in the respective appeals, would submit that the evidence adduced by the prosecution, would not be sufficient to prove the case of the prosecution; the testimony tendered by eye-witnesses, is not trustworthy; in the absence of conducting test identification parade, their evidence cannot be accepted.In support of their contentions, both the learned counsel for the appellants would cite the following authorities:(c) 1994 (2) CRIMES 875 (Madras High Court)(Mathy and Anr.(d) 2004 S.C.C. (Cri) 456 (State of Rajasthan vs. Kishan Singh).On the above aspects, we have heard learned Additional Public Prosecutor.We have carefully considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and also gone through the records.On a perusal of the entire records and on consideration of the respective submissions made by learned counsel on either side, we are of the view that the prosecution has not been able to bring home the guilt of the accused, as the evidence adduced by the prosecution, would not inspire confidence.As such, the appellants/accused 1 to 3 are liable to be acquitted of the charges.The reasons for our conclusion are as follows.According to prosecution, when P.Ws.1 and 2 accompanied the deceased, all the three accused way-laid them and on coming to know that he belongs to Hindu religion, they attacked the deceased.The deceased was taken to hospital by P.W.1 Subramanian and other witnesses at about 5.45 p.m. Ex.P-18 is the accident register relating to the injuries on the deceased, issued by P.W.9 Doctor.It is mentioned in Ex.P-18 that P.W.1 told P.W.9 Doctor that some one attacked the deceased and the deceased was found with injuries in the place of the incident and that he and P.W.2, the wife of the deceased, brought the deceased.From the evidence of P.W.9 Doctor and Ex.P-18 accident register, it is clear that P.Ws.1 and 2 did not tell P.W.9 Doctor as to the details of the occurrence; as to how the deceased sustained injuries, the number of persons involved in the occurrence and the identity of those persons.Only after receipt of information about the death of the deceased from the Doctor, P.W.1 Subramanian went to the Police Station and gave Ex.P-1 complaint.In the complaint, P.W.1 Subramanian stated that himself and P.W.2 were the eye-witnesses to the occurrence and they saw that one among the three identifiable accused, caused injury on the deceased and all the three accused ran away from the scene.The same statement has been made by P.W.1 Subramanian to P.W.11 Inspector of Police during the course of investigation.Similar statement was made by P.W.2 Parvathamani also to P.W.11 Inspector of Police.Strangely, P.Ws.1 and 2 would depose in the Court that they saw A-1 stabbing on the left chest of the deceased; A-2 on the stomach of the deceased and A-3 on the right chest of the deceased.Thereafter, A-3 took out a reaper wood and caused injury on the hand of the deceased and then, ran away.Thus, the reason given by the High Court for distrusting the evidence of Dr.According to prosecution, while the deceased was way-laid, the accused asked the name of the deceased in order to verify as to whether he belongs to Hindu religion.This shows that during the course of investigation, the investigating agency was able to conclude that three persons participated and out of three, only one attacked the deceased.On the contrary, P.Ws.1 and 2 had stated before the Court that all the three accused persons attacked.Thus, it is manifestly clear that the investigating agency has not done their job properly to find out as to who are the real assailants.As such, this Court is left with no other alternative except to give the ""benefit of doubt"" to all the accused persons.Therefore, the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants/A-1 to A-3 are liable to be set aside.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"It is ordered accordingly.6.Having said the above, it is pertinent to point out that the trial was in respect of an occurrence dated 17.9.2004 having taken place at 8.15 am.As per written report Ex. Ka-1 presented by P.W.1- Kapildeo Yadav before the Officer-in-Charge of Bahariawar police station, the informant and his uncle Deep Chandra Yadav @ Lal Ji Yadav (P.W. 2) were taking tea at the tea-stall of one Doodhnath where his co-villagers Rajai Yadav (not examined) and Paltan Yadav (P.W.3) were also present.His uncle deceased Shyamdeo Yadav along with other deceased Devkinandan Yadav, came by a motor cycle from his house and no sooner the two had reached the road than the three accused persons, namely, Shiv Pujan Yadav, Mahendra Yadav and Suresh Yadav also came by another motor cycle which was being driven by appellant Suresh Yadav.Appellants Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker also came by another motorcycle which was being driven by appellant Rajesh Yadav and all the five persons surrounded deceased Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav.Shiv Pujan Yadav is said to have remonstrated by stating that both of them be killed upon which Shyamdeo Yadav, the uncle of informant P.W.1, leaving his motorcycle aside ran into the field north of the road upon which Shiv Pujan Yadav armed with his gun and Mahendra Yadav and Suresh Yadav both armed with country made pistols started chasing Shyamdeo Yadav and also kept firing at him.When Devkinandan Yadav, the other deceased, ran towards the shop of Doodhnath Chauhan, both Rajesh Yadav and Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker followed him and fired shots at him and all of them sped away towards east after committing the murder of Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav.7.The informant stated that both Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav had died at the spot.There was a panic all around and the shop-keepers downed their shutters and people started running helter and skelter, during which course, the accused persons also kept firing shots and might be, that someone amongst the public should have received an injury.The whole environment was charged with terror.8.On the basis of Ex. Ka-1, F.I.R. of the case (Ex.Ka-5) was drawn up by P.W. 7-Constable Mool Chand Sharma, who was posted as Head Moharrir in the Bahariawar police station.P.W. 7 stated that after drawing the F.I.R., he created the copies of the written report and the F.I.R. by carbon process and made entries regarding the contents of those documents in the General Diary dated 17.9.2004 of the Police Station.9.It appears that S.I. Amarendra Nath Bajpayee (P.W.13), who was the Inspector of Police and was the Officer-in-Charge of the police station, took up the investigation of the case and recorded the statement of the informant at the police station itself.He along with some constables set out for the village of occurrence and held inquest upon the two dead bodies of Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav by preparing inquest reports (Exts.Ka-13 and 14).He also drew up the sketches of the dead bodies and prepared the dead body challan as also letter addressed to the Chief Medical Officer, Ghazipur.After having sealed the two dead bodies, he forwarded them for post mortem examination through Constables Surendra Singh (P.W.11) and Surendra Nath Tiwari (P.W.12).The Investigating officer, thereafter, inspected the place of occurrence and during that course found blood splattered at places where the dead bodies of Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav were found and seized blood by preparing seizure memos.He also found empty cartridges of 12 bore made of brass and two caps of the cartridges lying near the dead body of Shyamdeo Yadav and he seized them by preparing seizure memo (Ext.Ka-26).The Hero Honda motorcycle, which was used by Shyamdeo Yadav, was also seized by the Investigating officer (P.W.13) and he found that his left slipper was lying near his dead body while his right slipper was found near the Hero Honda motorcycle.Those two slippers were also seized by P.W. 13 by preparing seizure memo (Ext.Ka-27).The seizure memo in respect of motorcycle appears marked by the learned Trial Judge as Ext.Blood found near the dead body of Devkinandan was seized by preparing seizure memo Ex.Ka-29 and P.W. 13 found two empty cartridges of brass along with two cartridges of copper lying near the dead body of Devkinandan Yadav and those were also seized by preparing seizure memo Ext.P.W. 13 inspected the place of occurrence and prepared the site plan, which was marked Ext. Ka-31 by the court below.P.W. 13 recorded the statements of different witnesses and noted them into the case diary along with all the steps of investigation carried out by him.10.P.W.13 stated that he learnt that one Om Prakash Kumhar had also been injured in the incident but he could not trace him out for recording his statement.1 and 2 had stated that they had set out from their house together on a motorcycle and had come at the chowk from their village by the chak-road which has been shown in the site plan as also which has been described by P.W. 1 to run from his village which was situated to the South of the place of occurrence and which merged into the pitch road.On the right side of the chak-road, was installed the pump set of Doodhnath and to the south of the road, there were structures in one of which the clinic of Dr. S.K. Lahsar was located and in the other room of the same structure, the miscellaneous articles shop of Doodhnath Chauhan was situated.The tea shop was located to the east of the miscellaneous articles shop of Doodhnath Chauhan and, as per P.Ws.1&2, when they had come in front of the tea stall of Doodh Nath Chauhan, they were invited for a cup of tea by Rajai Yadav (not examined) and Paltan (P.W. 3) and as such they parked their motorcycle and went inside the tea stall to have a cup of tea.But, it further appears that they had come out of tea stall on to the road in front of it and started sipping tea.The second motorcycle was driven by appellant Rajesh Yadav and appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker was the pillion rider armed country made gun.It is stated by witnesses that appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav remonstrated to kill the deceased upon which deceased Shyamdeo Yadav, leaving aside his motorcycle on the road, ran into the field north of the road and was chased by appellants Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav and Suresh Yadav who started firing at him and, accordingly, Shyam Dev Yadav was hit and fell down there.The other deceased Devkinandan also ran for safety towards the tea-stall, but he was chased by appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker and appellant Rajesh who also fired simultaneously by their respective fire arms and Devkinandan fell near the tea-stall and died there.Both P.Ws. 1 and 2 had stated that they hid themselves behind the tea-stall and were thus spared and after having achieved their goal, the appellants ran towards east and then had went back in the western direction.The sketch map Ext. Ka-31, is part of the prosecution evidence and the description of different structures as per the sketch map tallies very well and completely with the evidence of P.W.1 as appears from deposition at page 69 of the paper book.These were the places where blood was found and seized by preparing seizure memoes.Margin of the wound was inverted.Blackening and tattooing was also present around the wound in an area of 3cm x3cm.Hon'ble Pankaj Naqvi,J.(Delivered by Hon'ble Dharnidhar Jha, J.)2.Five appellants of the three appeals were put on trial in the above noted Sessions Trials after being charged with committing various offences and were held guilty by the impugned Judgment.Appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav had been charged with committing offences under Sections 147, 148, 307, 149 and 302/149 I.P.C., 25 of the Arms Act as also Section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act while appellant Suresh Yadav was charged with committing all the above offences for which the above noted four accused persons had been charged, except that under Section 302/149 I.P.C. All the appellants were acquitted of the charge under Section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. Appellant Suresh Yadav of Criminal Appeal No. 3154 of 2011 was also not held guilty of committing offence under Section 25 of the Arms Act but he was held guilty of committing offences under Sections 147, 148 and 307/149 I.P.C. and was directed to suffer simple imprisonment for one year and two years respectively under Sections 147 and 148 I.P.C. while he had to suffer rigorous imprisonment for eight years as also had to pay a fine of Rs. 10,000/- for being held guilty of offence under Section 307/149 I.P.C. The learned Trial Judge directed that in case of default in paying the fine, the appellant Suresh Yadav had to undergo simple imprisonment for another term of eight months.3.So far as the other appellants, like, Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav were concerned, they were directed to suffer simple imprisonment for terms of one and two years respectively under Sections 147 and 148 I.P.C. and rigorous imprisonment for a term of eight years under Section 307/149 I.P.C. In addition to the substantive sentence, each of them was directed to pay a fine of Rs. 10,000/- else to suffer simple imprisonment for six months in respect of their individual conviction under Section 307/149 I.P.C. As regards their individual conviction under Section 302/149 I.P.C., each of the four appellants was directed to be hanged by his neck till he was dead and was further directed to pay a fine of Rs. 50,000/- or to suffer simple imprisonment for one year.4.So far as the conviction of appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Mahendra Yadav and Shiv Pujan Yadav under Section 25 of the Arms Act was concerned, each of them was to suffer rigorous imprisonment for five years and had also to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, else to suffer simple imprisonment for three months.This is how the learned trial judge made the reference to this Court under Section 366 Cr.P.C. for confirmation of sentence of death which was inflicted upon the four appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav who also preferred their appeals to challenge their conviction as may appear from the array of appellants in the connected four appeals.5.Before we proceed to set out the facts of the case, we want to note that appellant Suresh Yadav of Criminal Appeal No. 3154 of 2011, though, had been convicted for offences, like, 147, 148 and 307/149 I.P.C. and was impressed also that he was being tried for being a member of unlawful assembly, the common object of which was to commit twin murders of Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav, as may appear from the heading of charges framed by the learned II Additional Sessions Judge, Ghazipur on 18.7.2005, which is available to the court at pages 56 and 57 of the paper book, and besides being questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. that he along with other accused persons in prosecution of the common object had caused or had known the two murders to be caused, as appears from question no. 2 put to appellant Suresh Yadav, the trial Judge had omitted to frame a charge under Section 302/149 I.P.C. against appellant Suresh Yadav.As such, no conviction of that appellant under Section 302/149 I.P.C. was recorded.This is the reason that Criminal Appeal (Defective) No. 443 of 2011 was brought by the informant of the case, namely, Kapildeo Yadav with a prayer that his sentence be enhanced accordingly.In our opinion, in absence of any conviction of appellant Suresh Yadav under Section 302/149 I.P.C, the appeal against acquittal seeking the enhancement in sentence by convicting him under Section 302 I.P.C. was not maintainable and, as such, before we proceed further with the present Judgment, we have to dismiss Criminal Appeal (Defective) No. 443 of 2010 as not maintainable.However, what we find is that the said Om Prakash Kumhar was examined by a doctor, but there is no evidence as to what was the injury found by the doctor.11.P.W. 13 searched for the accused persons during which, he came to know that appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker was likely to come to the village from some other place and, accordingly, he was arrested on 22.9.2004 at about 5.05 am and, on search of his person, a country made pistol of 3.15 bore (marked 1/2005 for comparison and testing by FSL) was recovered along with a couple of cartridges (marked LC-1 & LC-2 by FSL for comparison).For the recovery of the arms and ammunitions, a separate case was instituted under the Arms Act.12.P.W. 13 learnt that appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, Mahendra Yadav and Rajesh Yadav had surrendered themselves to the custody of C.J.M., Ghazipur and, accordingly, he came to District Jail, Ghazipur on 16.10.2004 and questioned appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav who pointed out that his gun was lying in the custody of his wife at his house.Accordingly, P.W.13 came to the house of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav and seized the gun there in presence of witnesses by preparing seizure memo.The SBBL gun was marked by FSL as 4/2005 for comparison and testing.Appellants Mahendra Yadav and Rajesh Yadav were taken out of jail by order of remand passed by the court of C.J.M. and it appears that during the questioning by P.W. 13, both Rajesh Yadav and Mahendra Yadav led the Investigating Officer, P.W. 13, to different places and they produced the country made pistols, which they had concealed at two different places, before the Investigating Officer.The two pistols produced by Mahendra and Rajesh Yadav were marked 3/2005 and 2/2005 respectively for testing and comparison.This evidence of production of weapons by Rajesh and Mahendra Yadav appears at page 131 of the paper book.The two weapons were also seized by preparing two different seizure memos Exs.Ka-35 and 36 respectively.13.It appears further that the seized arms and ammunitions as also the empties were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) through P.W. 10-Constable Suresh Chaube.After examining them, the FSL submitted its report, which is available on the lower court records.It was found that the SBBL gun, which was seized from the house of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, had been used in firing the disputed empty of the cartridges marked EC-3 whereas the three different country made pistols, which were recovered from Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker , Rajeh Yadav and Mahendra Yadav, had also been used in firing different cartridges.Besides, on chemical analysis of the materials, which were found in the barrel of the weapons, i.e., the three country made pistols and the SBBL gun of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, they were containing firing residue nitrate, Lead and Copper and that indicated that the guns had been used recently in firing shots.These reports of FSL with the report on serological examination of bloodstained earth are at pages 48 to 52 of the paper book with its original on the lower court record which are admissible under Section 293 Cr.P.C. as evidence due to being the report of FSL, Lucknow submitted under the signature of its Joint Director.We are not sure whether these reports were marked exhibits for the prosecution but assuming that they had not been marked as such, we have read them in evidence by virtue of Section 293 Cr.P.C.14.It appears that P.W.13 was transferred from the police station as a result of which the investigation was taken up by P.W. 8-SI Hari Ram Mishra who did not do any substantial part of the investigation and submitted the charge sheet only.The investigation of the case registered for recovery for arms from the accused persons was carried out by P.W. 14-SI Ram Bharose Yadav who had also submitted charge sheet after obtaining the requisite sanction for prosecuting the appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav for being in possession of different arms.This is how the trial was taken up which ended in the impugned Judgment and gave rise to the death reference and connected criminal appeals.15.It appears that defence of the accused persons was that the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav had many enemies and possibly they had taken advantage of the cover of darkness in the night and had killed him.As regards appellant Suresh Yadav, who has not been found guilty and sentenced under Section 302/149 I.P.C. as he was not charged and tried under Section 302/149 I.P.C., he appears to have taken a specific defence of alibi by pleading that he was not present at the scene of occurrence and rather he was present in Pathankot with his Unit of 51 Brigade of the Indian Army and his implication was out and out false.16.In order to proving the charges, the prosecution examined as many as 14 witnesses out of whom P.Ws. 1, 2 and 3 were eye witnesses to the occurrence.Sanjay Kumar Rai had held autopsy on the two dead bodies and had issued post mortem examination reports (Exts.Ka-2&3).P.W.5-Ram Siromani Verma was the Pharmacist who was posted in December 2004 in Sri Shiv Prasad Gupta Hospital, Kabir Chauraha, Varanasi where Dr. B.B.Prakash (not examined) was working as a Radiologist and who had submitted the radiological report Ex.The evidence of P.W. 4 is completely silent as to in whose respect the report had been submitted, but on looking to the evidence of P.W. 6-Dr.B.P. Bouhare, we find that the Radiologist's report was in respect of injury suffered by one Om Prakash, who was examined by P.W. 6 for his injuries in S.S. P.G. Hospital, Varanasi and had advised X-ray of his injuries.P.W.7 was the Constable Moharrir Mool Chand Sharm, who had drawn up the F.I.R. P.W.9-Constable-Munshi Prakash Chand had registered the cases under the Arms Act on the basis of the written report submitted in the police station with the seizure memos by P.W. 13-S.I. Amarendra Nath Bajpayee.P.W.10-Constable Surendra Nath Bajpayee had brought the seized arms and ammunitions and other articles to the court of C.J.M. for getting it forwarded to the FSL and took the seized articles to the FSL, Lucknow.P.W.11-Surendra Singh and P.W.12- Surendra Nath Tiwari had accompanied the two dead bodies to the mortuary for post mortem examination.P.W.13-Amarendra Nath Bajpayee, we have already noted, was the first Investigating Officer of the case and, on his transfer, the investigation was carried on by P.W.8-S.I. Hari Ram Mishra.P.W.14- S.I. Ram Darash Yadav had investigated the case under the Arms Act.The defence examined the solitary witness Dalveer Singh, who was an employee of the Indian Army and who had brought certain records from his Unit 330 Brigade and stated that on the date of occurrence, the appellant Suresh Yadav, posted in the Indian Army as Hawildar, was present in Pathankot with 51 Brigade of the Army.18.After considering the evidence available to him, the learned trial judge recorded the finding of guilt and passed the order of sentence upon the appellants and made the reference which has been noted at the very outset of the present Judgment.19.Sri Gopal Swarup Chaturvedi, the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants in support of the appeals and in opposition of the death reference, took us through the evidence of witnesses and submitted that the witnesses were not reliable as their presence at the place of occurrence was itself doubtful.It was contended by Sri Chaturvedi that both the witnesses Kapil Dev Yadav (P.W.1) and Deep Chand @ Lalji (P.W.3) were chance witnesses and the reason for their presence at the place of occurrence appears stated for the first time during trial and as such the court should reject their evidence.It was contended that P.W.3- Paltan Yadav had supported the prosecution story during his examination-in-chief, but during cross examination on 9.1.2006 and 8.11.2006, he turned round to go to the extent of stating that even those statements which had been made by him on oath before the learned Sessions Judge on 14.11.2005 during his examination-in-chief, had not been made by him and he did not have any reason to say as to how the learned trial court recorded those statements in his deposition sheets.During the course of his cross examination on 8.11.2006, submitted Sri Chaturvedi, P.W.3 stated that neither he was present at the tea-stall of Doodhnath Chauhan nor he was taking tea and, as such, the claim of P.Ws.1 & 2 that they were invited to have a cup of tea by P.W.3 Paltan and Rajai Yadav (not examined), appears not established.It was contended that the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav was the full brother of P.W.2-Deep Chand @ Lalji.P.W.1-Kapil Dev Yadav was the son of Musafir, who was the elder brother of Deep Chand @ Lalji (P.W.2) and the deceased Shyamdeo.The evidence was ample that there were some good number of witnesses, who were present at the place of occurrence, which was a small place of business-activity where many establishments were located, but none of those independent persons came to support the prosecution story.Submission was that evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 being that of interested and inimical witnesses, the court should reject the same and hold the charges not substantiated.The submission also was that the enmity between the accused and the prosecution party was undisputed and this could be the reason for the false implication of the appellants.The deceased Shyamdeo had many enemies, which has been admitted by P.W. 1 in his evidence, and possibly, he was killed sometimes in the night and an antedated report was collusively made and evidence in support of the false story was led, which ultimately ended in the impugned Judgment and the reference made by the learned Trial Judge under Section 366 Cr.P.C. Sri Chaturvedi, lastly, submitted that it could not be a case which should be the rarest among the rare ones and it was an ordinary murder out of enmity without any element of depravity as regards its execution and the learned Trial Judge, submitted Sri Chaturvedi, had misdirected himself on law in sentencing and has inflicted punishment, which was not proportionate to the act.20.We had the privilege of hearing Sri A.K.Srivastava and Sri A.N. Mulla, the two Additional Government Advocates in opposition of the appeals.It was contended on their behalf that it is true that the deceased Shyamdeo was the full brother of P.W. 2-Deep Chand @ Lalji and uncle of Kapildeo Yadav (P.W.1) too, but on a cautious scrutiny of their evidence what appears is that they were telling the truth and they had assigned good reasons for their presence and that does not appear seriously challenged.Their evidence is consistent on the manner of occurrence and the enmity is admitted and that was the motive for commission of the offence.The evidence was sufficient to indicate that the charges were proved to the hilt.21.P.W. 1 Kapil Dev Yadav had stated in his evidence that his father Musafir Yadav had two brothers Deep Chand Yadav @ Lalji (P.W.2) and Shyamdeo Yadav (the deceased).Thus, the inter se close relationship between the deceased and the witnesses is admitted.What we further find is that it was a well-knit family till the date of occurrence.It appears that the family was residing under one roof.They dined in one-mess and probably they were running the business or other affairs of the family jointly.It was a day-time murder.Thus, the question of the witnesses or the family members, who were very close to the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav, to have spun out an imaginary story, appears a far fetched situation.23.We approached the evidence of both the witnesses with an alert mind as the witnesses have admitted, as appears from the cross-examination of P.W. 1 at page 70 of the paper book, enmity between the parties.Likewise, one Raj Narain had been murdered and it was suggested to P.W. 1 that the deceased Devkinandan was one of the accused in the case instituted for the said murder of Raj Narain.The two deceased Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav arrived by one motorcycle.No sooner the two had arrived there, the five appellants are also said to have arrived there by two motorcycles.On one motorcycle appellants Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav were sitting with SBBL gun and country made gun respectively which was driven by appellant Suresh Yadav.The empties of cartridges were also found near the dead bodies and they were also seized by preparing seizure memoes.P.W. 1 described the existence of shops, etc. at different places and their location in respect of the road which was in north of them and parallel to them and the same descriptions appear recorded by the Investigating officer of the case.These evidences of the P.W. 1 do not appear challenged.What is found from the sketch map further is that the dead body of Shyamdeo was found in the field north of the road whereas that of Deokinandan was found lying at point B also on the road and in front of the tea-stall of Doodhnath.These evidences of P.W.1 and the objective findings of P.W. 13 recorded in sketch map are corroborating each other on important aspects of the case.26.Both P.Ws. 1 and 2 stated that they had started from their house for going to Hurmujpur Halt where they had a shop of tether and other rope materials.The submission was that this fact had not been stated in the F.I.R. by P.W.1 and that P.W.2 had not stated this fact during the course of investigation to the Investigating Officer.27.We find from the cross-examination of P.W. 1 that he had admitted that he had not stated this fact in the written report.We do not find it unusual that this fact was not mentioned in the written report.P.W. 1 had stated in the F.I.R. that he and P.W. 2 Deep Chandra @ Lalji had left their house on 17.9.2009 and stopped at the tea-stall of Doodhnath Chauhan for taking tea where Rajai Yadav (not examined) and Paltan Yadav were also taking tea at about 8 am.It is too well known to be stated that all facts need not be stated in the F.I.R.. In fact, during his cross-examination, P.W. 1 had admitted that he had not stated that he was going to Hurmujpur halt, but no question was put to him that that particular fact was not stated by him before the Investigating Officer.So it becomes very difficult for us to reject the claim of the witness as regards the purpose in connection whereof he happened to be at the place of occurrence while he was on way to Hurmujpur halt.Likewise, attention of P.W. 2 was drawn to a statement which was allegedly made by him to the Investigating Officer when he stated that he and Kapildeo Yadav had gone to Laxmanpur Chatti for taking tea.The witness denied that he had made the statement.In order to verifying as to whether the witness had made that particular statement and the further statement, we went through the evidence of P.Ws. 13 and 8 S.I. A.N. Bajpayee and S.I. Hari Ram Mishra respectively and we find that no proof of that fact was obtained by cross-examining the two police officers to that fact.The next fact which was put to P.W. 2 in his cross-examination was that he had not stated that he was going to Hurmujpur halt by the motorcycle and the witness said that he had made that statement to the Investigating Officer.Again, we find the proof of that particular fact regarding going to Hurmujpur halt and making no statement to that effect was not proved by cross-examining P.Ws. 8 and 13- the Investigating officers.Thus, in absence of any evidence from the Investigating Officers that P.Ws. 1 and 2 had not stated before them that they had proceeded on a motorcycle for Hamijpur halt together and they had stopped at the tea stall of Doodhnath Chauhan at the request of Rajai (not examined), we have to accept that they had the same purpose and they had, accordingly, set out together from their house as is claimed by P.W.1 at page 71 and by P.W. 2 at page 78 of his deposition.28.Sri Chaturvedi was criticising the evidence of two witnesses as chance witnesses.What Sri Chaturvedi was arguing was that both P.Ws. 1 and 2 had no reason to remain present at the scene of occurrence and they being inimical might be motivated to make a false statement.A chance witness is one who by co-incidence or chance happens to be present at the place of occurrence at the time when it had taken place (AIR 1976 Supreme Court 2032, Bahal Singh vs State Of Haryana) and if such person happens to be the relative or friend of the victim or inimically disposed towards the accused, then he being a chance witness is viewed with suspicion.The other view, which appears from Jai Singh Vs.State of Karnataka reported in 2007 Criminal Law Journal 2434 at pages 2435 and 2436, was that where, if such witnesses did not explain the circumstances which brought them to the place of occurrence from the village coupled with the fact that they did not inform the incident to anyone even though one of them was related to the deceased being a cousin and kept silent for about six days, it was held that such witnesses were not reliable.Therefore, what appears from Jai Singh(supra) is that if the witnesses are giving sufficient reasons, which may be acceptable to the courts regarding their presence at the scene of occurrence, then the evidence of such witnesses could not be rejected by merely lebelling them as chance witnesses.Here in the present case both P.Ws. 1 and 2 have stated that they started from their house for going to Hurmujpur Halt for looking after their small business of tether and rope materials.The evidence which we have scanned in the previous paragraph of the present Judgment, appears satisfactory as regards their claim for leaving their house by a motorcycle to go to that place.There is no denial or even a challenge by the defence that they did not have any such establishment at Hurmujpur Halt and there was no cross-examination further to show that there was no establishment of the witnesses there as was claimed by them.Moreover, the presence of both P.Ws. 1 and 2 at the place of occurrence may appear per chance but their stoppage there also appears on account of a particular reason.P.W. 3, who turned hostile after more than two months of giving evidence in examination-in-chief, had also stated that when P.Ws. 1 and 2 arrived there by the motor cycle, he and Rajai invited Deep Chand @ Lalji (P.W. 2) and Kapil Dev Yadav (P.W.1) to have tea and, accordingly, they came to the tea stall and started sipping the tea.P.W. 2-Deep Chand @ Lalji had stated that if he and P.W. 1 would not have been stopped for having tea by P.W. 3 and Rajai, both of them ought not have stopped there.This evidence appears in the last paragraph of cross-examination dated 13.9.2005 of P.W. 2 at page 82 of the paper book.Thus, their stoppage at the place of occurrence might have been per chance, but the reason for their stay appears quite convincing and, on that account, we do not find their presence improbable.29.In our opinion, if a witness claims his presence at the scene of occurrence merely due to that reason, he should not be trusted.The Court should still hold an inquiry by scanning the evidence given by such a witness as to whether the reasons which were assigned by him for his presence at any particular place was really acceptable and convincing.If the court found the witness trustworthy on that claim, then only the witness could be said to be reliable else his evidence could not be utilized for any purpose.Here in the present case, we find that both P.W.1 and P.W.2 have stated that while they were on way to Hurmujpur Halt for attending to their small business there, they stopped near the place of occurrence on account of being requested to have a cup of tea by P.W. 3 and Rajai Yadav and we do find the reasons sufficient to accept the same.Thus, what we find is that P.Ws. 1 and 2 were not mere chance witnesses.They had good reasons to stop and for remaining present at the scene of occurrence.Might be, the occurrence had taken place at the time when they were very much present at the scene of occurrence.30.The evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 was scanned by us quite deeply and we find that the cross-examination of P.W. 1 on the manner of occurrence which appears at page 74 of the paper book further inspires our confidence.The witness was put many searching questions on the manner of occurrence and he was responding convincingly by describing the manner in which both the deceased were chased and killed.P.W. 2 was also cross-examined on the manner of occurrence as appears from the perusal of his evidence at pages 83 and 84 of the paper book and we find that the evidences of both the P.Ws. are quite consistent with each other and not

+ of course, had turned hostile, which was given by him in his examination-in-chief on 14.11.2005 and which was recorded by the learned trial Judge was never stated to the Court as appears from his cross-examination done by the prosecution after recalling him.But we have to consider some of the circumstances.The examination-in-chief of P.W. 3 was completed on 14.11.2005 and when the turn came for the defence to cross-examine the witness, an application was filed on that very day for adjourning the hearing of P.W. 3 as a result of which the case was adjourned and the witness did not turn up on many dates till he appeared finally on 9.1.2006 when he made statement in cross-examination completely nullifying the effect of his evidence in examination-in-chief.He had stated that he and Rajai were sitting in the tea shop of Doodhnath Chauhan on the date of occurrence at about 8.15 a.m. when P.Ws. 1 and 2 came there and they were requested by him and Rajai to have a cup of tea.Accordingly, P.Ws. 1 and 2 stopped there when the two deceased came by a motor cycle and immediately succeeding them came the five accused persons and surrounded the two deceased, and on remonstration of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav to kill them, the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav, leaving aside his motorcycle ran into the field situated in the north of the place of occurrence who was chased by appellants Shiv Pujan Yadav, Mahendra Yadav and Suresh Yadav who were respectively armed with regular gun and country made guns and was shot dead.Likewise, when Devkinandan the other deceased ran towards the shop of Doodhnath Chauhan, appellants Rajesh Yadav and Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker also chased him and fired at him and killed him.During the cross-examination on 9.1.2006, he stated that he was never present at the place of occurrence,i.e., in the tea shop of Doodhnath and P.Ws. 1 and 2 had never come and he had not witnessed the occurrence.The prosecution recalled him for cross-examination and he appeared after 10 months of his turning round on his evidence in examination-in-chief during his cross-examination on 9.1.2006, and what we find is that he did not have any hesitation in even stating that whatever was recorded in his examination-in-chief evidence had not been stated by him on oath before the learned trial Judge and he does not know how the same was written by the learned Judge.Thus, the witness appears so completely gained over by the defence that he was not even hesitating in branding the learned Judge who was recording his evidence as partial.The time which was purchased by the defence after filing an application for adjournment on 14.11.2005 and two months which intervened between 14.11.2005 and 9.1.2006 was more than enough for the defence as appears from the conduct of P.W. 3 to produce him and make statements in cross-examination not only to nullify the effect of his evidence in examination-in-chief but also to shamelessly castigate the court proceedings.We have to discard the evidence of P.W.3 in cross-examination and we have to hold that he was also supporting P.Ws. 1 and 2 on material parts of the prosecution case.32.The evidence of P.W. 4-Dr.Sanjai Kumar Rai, who held post mortem examination on the two dead bodies, has also to be considered so as to finding out as to whether the medical evidence was supporting the oral testimony.P.W. 4 stated that he found the following ante mortem injuries on the dead body of Devkinandan Yadav :-(i) A wound of entry 0.5cm x 0.5cm x bone deep on the right side of face two cm below the right eye the margins of the wound was inverted and collar abraded.(ii) A wound of exit measuring 2.5cm x 2cm x bone deep on the right side of forehead just lateral to the right eye.Margin of the wound was everted.(iii) A wound of exit 2cm x 1cm x cavity deep on the right side of back 22 cm below the right shoulder.Margin of wound was everted.(iv) A wound of entry measuring 0.5cm x0.5cm x cavity deep present on the right side of the chest.Margins were inverted and blackening and tattooing were present in an area of 4cm x 4cm around the wound.(v) A wound of entry 0.5cm x 0.5cm x bone deep on the left palm three inch below the wrist.(vi) A wound of exit 3 cm x 1cm x bone deep present on the back of left hand 3cm below the left wrist.Margins were everted.33.P.W.4 stated that injuries nos. 1 and 2 were communicating to each other.In the opinion of the P.W. 4, the cause of death was due to shock and haemorrhage as a result of ante mortem injuries.During the dissection the doctor found that the left lung had been lacerated.Sanjay Kumar Rai found the following ante mortem fire arm injuries on the dead body of Shyamdeo Yadav:-(i) A wound of exit 2.5 cm x 2 cm x bone deep present on the forehead 4 cm above the root of nose.Margin was everted.(ii) A wound of entry measuring 1 cm x 1cm x bone deep resent on the right side of chin.Margin of the wound was inverted and the collar was abraded with blackening present around the wound and 3cm below the lower lip.(iii) A wound of entry measuring 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm x cavity deep on the right side of back.Margin of the wound was inverted and collar was abraded.The would was located 28cm below the right shoulder.(iv) A wound of exit 3 cm x 3cm x cavity deep present on the left side of abdomen 16 cm below the left nipple.The margin of the wound was found everted.(v) An abrasion measuring 1cm x 1cm in front of right leg 7.5 cm above the right ankle.35.P.W. 4 stated that injury no. 1 was communicating to injury no. 2 and injury no. 3 was communicating to injury no. 3 and all the injuries on the dead body were caused by fire arms.36.During dissection of dead body of Shyamdeo Yadav, the pleura was found lacerated with the pedium.Mandible, palate and the frontal bone of the head were found fractured.The membranes and brain matter were found lacerated along with the fracture of skull.In case of Devkinandan also P.W. 4 had found that his maxillary bone was fractured and the right lungs was lacerated.In the opinion of P.W. 4, death of the two deceased was due to shock and haemorrhage as a result of ante mortem fire arm injuries found on the two dead bodies.In the opinion of P.W. 4, both the deceased could have been killed on 17.9.2005 at 8.15 a.m.37.The evidence of P.W.2 indicates that while deceased Shyamdeo Yadav was being chased, he had looked back also.There is no cross-examination to this fact.In our opinion too, a person when finds himself so confronted by peril out of natural urge instinct to escape it, starts running and during that course, often looks back to see as to whether he had indeed succeeded evading being hurt or killed.It is ordinary human reaction and behaviour in such a situation.The evidence further indicates that three accused were chasing Shyamdeo Yadav and they were firing at him as well.It may not be humanly possible for any witness to give shot by shot account of such incident.One may only narrate the main story of the manner of chase and being fired at.As such, the finding of injuries at the face of deceased Shyamdeo Yadav may not be telling a story different from that narrated by the two P.Ws.38.The other evidence which corroborates the occurrence is the evidence of the Investigating Officer.He had found and recovered empty cartridges near and from the two dead bodies of Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav and had prepared the seizure memos Exs.P.W.13-SI Amarendra Nath Bajpayee had stated that he arrested appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker on 2.9.2004 on 4.30 a.m. and had recovered from his possession a country made pistol of 3.15 bore and had prepared the seizure cum recovery memo (Ext.Ka-33) in that respect.He further stated that he had questioned appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav in jail and he had pointed out that the gun, which was used by him, was lying in the custody of his wife in his house and, accordingly, he came to his house on 16.10.2005 and took into possession.Appellants Mahendra yadav and Rajesh Yadav had been taken on remand on 21.10.2004 and, during questioning, they had led the Investigating Officer to two different places as per description appearing at page 137 of the paper book, and after bringing out the two country made pistols, each of them produced the same and, accordingly, the seizure memos in respect of those weapons were also prepared.What we find is that the seized empty cartridges and recovered SBBL gun and three country made pistols, which were recovered from the possession of Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker and and Shivpujan Yadav and produced by appellants Mahendra Yadav and Rajesh Yadav were sent for test and report to the FSL, Lucknow and those were examined and a report dated 14.6.2005, which appears at pages 48 and 49 of the paper book, was furnished.As per the report of the FSL, Lucknow, the SBBL Gun, which was probably licensed to appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, was used in firing cartridge marked EC-3, which was recovered from the place of occurrence.Likewise, the three country made pistols, which had been marked 1/2005 the 2/2005 and 3/2005, were also found to have been used in firing shots, and cartridges marked EC-1, EC-2 and EC-5 were fired from those respective country made pistols.The cartridge EC-4 had not been fired from any of the three country made pistols.We find that the bloodstained earth was also sent for examination analysis to the FSL and the report is available to us at pages 51 and 52 of the paper book and the Joint Director, FSL, Lucknow reported that seized earth at serial nos. 1 and 14 were bearing human blood in the area as indicated in the report.Moreover, there is no challenge that the two deceased had been shot and killed at the place of occurrence.Thus, what we find is that the report was submitted by the FSL after tallying the seized empties of cartridges and seized weapons and those empties were recovered from near the dead bodies while SBBL gun was recovered from the constructive possession of the appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav.A country made pistol was recovered, as we have already noted, from the possession of Triloki Rajbhar while Suresh and Mahendra Yadav had produced the two other country made pistols after bringing it out of the places where they had been concealed by each of them.Thus, there is a support from these circumstances also that the accused persons had used the weapons in killing the two deceased.39.Sri Chaturvedi had submitted that there were number of persons who were present at the scene of occurrence as there were tea-stall and other establishments like the clinic of a doctor, miscellaneous article shop of Doodhnath Chauhan, etc. Not only that at 8.15am, the place of occurrence being amidst two villages, i.e., the village of the informant and the other village Laxmanpur Chatti, there could have been many other independent persons who would have witnessed the occurrence, but were not examined and only interested and inimical witnesses were examined.As such, their evidence should be discarded.40.We have appreciated the evidence of witnesses with great care and caution and we have considered the criticisms which were targeted at their credibility and we have found that the witnesses were appearing telling the truth.Sri Chaturvedi was submitting that there would have been many more independent persons who had been there and who ought to have been examined.We have to appreciate that is not it a changed social behaviour which we find daily in court rooms that independent persons, who could have witnessed an occurrence, avoid appearing before the court of law for many reasons; sometimes it is fear of earning the wrath of persons against whom they could be deposing and sometimes it is their indifference towards commission of offence treating it as personal or private matter that they refrain from appearing before the courts.On many occasions, persons of society sulk in coming forward in support of any particular story on account of unfavourable situation.They find themselves being cross-examined by being put various questions which simply unnerve and embarrass them and cause a sense of disgust and frustration in coming out in help of the cause of justice.No one wants to take up the cudgels against anyone in favour of the cause of justice and, in many cases, even the family members of the victim of an offence are found turning away from court proceedings and refuse to appear before the court of law.42.However, what has intrigued us the most is that while the evidence could be acceptable as regards establishing the charges under Sections 148, 302/149 I.P.C. against appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav, how could they, on that basis, be said to have committed the offences under Sections 147 and 307 read with Section 149 I.P.C. which charge was also framed against them as also against appellant Suresh Yadav who was also convicted of committing the said offence.The witnesses stated that while chasing the two deceased in two different directions," they were also firing at each of them as a result of which both of them fell down and died.""","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian

+"The accused-4 has been charged under Section 409 r/w 34 IPC, u/s 477(A) (5 counts), 47(A) r/w 34 (4 counts) IPC and the accused-2 has been charged under Section 409 r/w 34, 477(A) IPC, 477(A) r/w 34(8 counts) IPC.Before the trial Court P.W.1 to P.W.8 were examined and Ex.P.1 to Ex.P.65 were exhibited.A2 was the cashier in the above said Society for the period from 1.10.1985 to 5.6.1987 and that thereafter he was working as a dispatch clerk.A4 was the accountant during the relevant period.Out of the 8 witnesses examined on the side of the prosecution, P.Ws.1, 3 & 5 speak about A2 about his involvement in the crime.5.According to P.W.1, he was working as a day watchman of the Society from 1984 to 1985 and that he used to collect from the forest, forest products like Manipungai, Etty seeds etc., and used to sell to the other Society and that on 9.6.1987 he has not sold ten tones of manipungai to the Society and that Ex.P.1-receipt dated 9.6.1987 for the sale of 10 tones (200 bags of Manipungai) is not a genuine receipt and that he had not received Rs.20,000/- being the value of 200 bags of Manipungai under Ex.6.P.W.2 is the Assistant of the said Society.During the relevant period.7.P.W.3 is the then watchman of Jamuna Marathoor forest tamarind trees.He would deny for having supplied the Manipungai on 9.6.1987 of the above said Society.Even though he would admit that Ex.P.6-receipt for Rs.20,000/- contains his signature, he would say that he has not supplied Manipungai to the value of Rs.20,000/-.According to him only at the instance of A1-Muthu, Special Officer of the Society, he and Dhamodran have signed in Ex.P.6-receipt and at that time the said Ex.P.6-receipt was blank and nothing was written in it.According to P.W.3, Ex.P.6-receipt was filled up by A1 subsequently and handed over to Dhamodaran.8.P.W.4 is the then Deputy Registrar of the Society, who had conducted an enquiry under Section 81 of the Co-operative Societies Act, as per the directions of the Register of the Co-operative Society.According to him, the Special Registrar had conducted the enquiry and submitted enquiry report Ex.P.7 to him and that on the basis of Ex.According to him, as per Ex.P.9 there is an entry in the Bills No.5421 & 5422 that Manipungai, a forest product, was purchased by the Society to the value of Rs.40,000/-.P.26 is the entry in Ex.P.9, day book.According to him, the receipts given under Ex.P.1 and Ex.P.6 were not genuine receipts, but created for the purpose of showing that the Society had purchased Manipungaia, forest product, worth Rs.40,000/- from P.W.1 & P.W.3 and thereby A2 & A4 along with other co-accused have misappropriated the funds of the Society.The learned counsel would further contend that there is absolutely no evidence on record to show that these two accused have misappropriated the alleged amount of Rs.40,000/-, which was collected from P.W.1 & P.W.3 under Ex.P.1 & Ex.P.6 receipts respectively.Except the fact that A2 & A4 have signed in the above said receipts Ex.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would represent that both the accused were on bail through out the trial and also during the first appeal and that there is no evidence to show that the disputed amount i.e., Rs.40,000/- under Ex.P.1 and Ex.P.6 were misappropriated by these two accused and that some leniency may be shown on them in the sentence.P.W.7 & P.W.8 are the Investigating Officers.11.The learned Trial Judge has accepted the case of the prosecution on the basis of the oral and documentary evidence and accordingly convicted and sentenced the accused-2 under Section 409 r/w 34, 477(A) IPC to undergo 6 months RI and a fine of Rs.500/- and under Section 477(A) r/w 34 (8 counts) IPC and sentenced to pay a fine of Rs.100 for each counts.A4 was convicted under Section 409 r/w 34 IPC and sentenced to undergo 6 months RI and a fine of Rs.500 in default 3 months RI and also convicted under Section 477(A)(5 counts), 477(A) r/w 34 (4 counts) IPC to pay a fine of Rs.100/- for each count.The co-accused A1, A3, A5 were also convicted and sentenced by the learned Judicial Magistrate and another co-accused A6 alone was acquitted under Section 248(1)Aggrieved by the judgment of the trial Court, A2 preferred an appeal in C.A.No.144 of 2003 and A4 preferred an appeal in C.A.No.143 of 2003 before the Additional Sessions Judge, FTC, Vellore.Since both A2 & A4 could not succeed in the first appeal, they have come before this Court by way of these revisions.13.When both the revisions were taken up for hearing the learned counsel for the revision petitioners Mr.P.1 & Ex.P.6 there is no material on record to show that they have received the amount i.e., Rs.40,000/- under each of the receipts and misappropriated the same.But this contention of the learned counsel for the revision petitioners cannot be upheld because the admitted case of the prosecution is that along with these two accused A1, A3 & A5 were working in the same Society and only they were on duty in the said Society during the relevant period.Heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor Thiru.V.R.Balasubramanian on this point.Taking into consideration the ordeal of trial faced by A2 & A4 for over 10 years and taking into consideration the advanced age of A4 and the fact that A2 has lost his job, I am of the view that while confirming the conviction, the sentence alone can be modified to that of ""till the raising of the Court"" instead of 6 months RI, while confirming the fine imposed by the trial Court.In the result, the revision petitions are allowed in part and the conviction against the revision petitioners/A2 & A4 in C.A.No.144 & 143 of 2003 respectively on the file of the Additional District and Sessions Judge, FTC, Vellore, is confirmed and the sentence alone is modified to the effect ""till the raising of the Court "" instead of 6 months RI.Both the accused shall appear before Judicial Magistrate No.II, Vellore on 25.6.2007 at 10.30 am to serve out the sentence.The fine imposed by the trial Court, which was confirmed by the first appellate Court, is hereby confirmed.1.The Judicial Magistrate No.II,

+"The Petitioner No.2 made correspondence with the Chief Personnel Officer of the Eastern Railway to ascertain whether the husband of the Opposite Party No.2 had drawn the house rent allowance as an employee of the railways during the period for which the Opposite Party No.2 claimed house rent allowance as Assistant Teacher of the school.CRR No. 2486 of 2011 With CRAN No. 1152 of 2013 Ruma Raha Dutta & Ors.The State of West Bengal & Anr.This criminal revision is preferred by the petitioners for quashing the proceeding being G. R. Case No.807 of 2007 arising out of Dankuni Police Station Case No.151 of 2007 dated 30.09.2007 under Sections 341/323/506/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 3(1)(x) and 4 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 pending before the Court of Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Serampore, Hooghly.The Opposite Party No.2 is the Assistant Teacher of Raghunathpur Balika Vidyalaya and her husband Shri Gora Chand Das is a Senior Labour Welfare Inspector of the Eastern Railway.The Petitioner No.1 is the Headmistress of Raghunathpur Balika Vidyalaya.The Petitioner No.2 is the Secretary, the Petitioner No.3 is the President and the Petitioner No.4 is the member of the Managing Committee of the said Raghunathpur Balika Vidyalaya.The allegations made by the Opposite Party No.2 being the defacto complainant in the written complaint treated as F.I.R. are as follows:""On 29.09.2007 at 11.20 a.m. within the school premises Smt. Ruma Raha (Dutta), Shri Kamal Krishna Ghosh, Bhola Hazra, Johar Jyoti etc., the managing committee members of the school have assaulted mentally with uses filthy languages with loudly voice and tortured in a scientific manner.A no. of filthy languages with loudly voice was used to force me to leave the job and life threatening me being continued.Under the circumstances would request your attention to take necessary action in accordance with Article 359 of the constitution of Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989 against them.""It is relevant to point out that the persons whose names are disclosed by the Opposite Party No.2 in the F.I.R. are the petitioners of the instant criminal revision.The police took up the investigation of the above criminal case.The petitioners have prayed for quashing the said criminal proceeding.However, on appeal the Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court reversed the judgement of the Learned Single Judge and thereafter the order of the Division Bench was upheld by the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court approved the acquisition proceedings.Therefore, the writ petition, out of which the appeal arose before the Supreme Court, purports to be an attempt to litigate once again, inter alia, on the ground that the aforesaid blocks of land were outside the purview of the framework of the agreement and notification issued under the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act. In this reported case, the original writ petition before the Single Bench, the appeal before the Division Bench and the appeal before the Supreme Court were decided on merit and as such the subsequent writ petition and appeal were held to be barred by the principles of res judicata and abuse of the process of the court.Mr. Sekhar Basu, Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has pointed out the order of dismissal of criminal revision being CRR No.4308 of 2007 in order to urge before this court that the previous criminal revision was not dismissed on merit.On perusal of the order dated 22.06.2011 passed in CRR No.4308 of 2007 it is clear that none appeared on behalf of the petitioners and Learned Counsels appearing on behalf of the opposite parties submitted that the investigation was done and charge sheet was submitted before the Trial Court.In view of the fact that charge sheet was submitted the criminal revision was dismissed without hearing Learned Counsel representing the petitioners.Since the criminal revision being CRR No.4308 of 2007 was not dismissed on merit, the ratio of the decision of ""M. Nagabhushana V. State of Karnataka"" reported in (2011) 3 SCC 408 cannot be applicable in the facts of the present case.Now, it is relevant to point out from the materials on record the long standing animosity between the Opposite Party No.2 and the petitioners before the incident dated 29.09.2007, which gave rise to the present criminal proceeding.In the middle of the year 2003, the Petitioner No.1 being the Headmistress of the school and the members of the managing committee of the said school requested all the teachers to donate Rs.50,000/- each towards development fund of the school.The Opposite Party No.2 refused to make donation and thereby strained relationship cropped up between the Opposite Party No.2 and the petitioners.It appears from the materials on record that the Petitioner No.1 stopped giving house rent allowance to the Opposite Party No.2 with effect from 01.04.2005 on the ground that she did not submit the document in support of her declaration that her husband being a government employee is not drawing house rent allowance.However, ultimately the Opposite Party No.2 moved the High Court by filing W.P. No.4391 (W) of 2007 and on 25.06.2007 the High Court passed the order that the Opposite Party No.2 will get the house rent allowance along with arrears within the time frame given by the High Court.The above admitted facts go to establish that there was long standing animosity between the Opposite Party No.2 and the petitioners for two reasons: first, the demand of donation of Rs.50,000/- by the petitioners towards the development fund of the school and secondly, the stoppage of disbursement of house rent allowance of the Opposite Party No.2 by the Petitioner No.1 for failure of the Opposite Party No.2 to submit document in support of the declaration that her husband is not drawing house rent allowance.With the above background of facts, the Opposite Party No.2 was absent from the school for more than three months on medical ground immediately before the incident.The incident took place when the Opposite Party No.2 entered into the office room of the Petitioner No.1 for submitting her application for leave on medical ground.","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 509 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 447 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 427 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 4 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The prosecution case was briefly this.There is a firm Hiremani and Jaglur and Co., carrying on business sin oil and flour at Hubli in the district of Dharwar.That firm is the proprietor of the Sangameshwar Oil and Flour Mills.On 26-5-1956, K. Umakant wrote a letter to the Hubli firm informing the later that he was awaiting the draft for Rupees 8000/- ""as per wire and call"", but the same was not received till 4 p.m. that day.The Hubli firm referred in that letter to a telegram informing K. Umakant that a draft on the Canara Industrial and Banking Syndicate Ltd., No. 075509, dated 21-5-1956, had already been despatched on 21st May, 1956 and the balance of Rs. 5,000/- was sent on 27th May. The Hubli firm further stated that they were surprised to learn that the draft for Rs. 8,000/- was not received by K. Umakant.They asserted that it was posted on 21-5-1956 with an enclosing letter.The letter then proceeded to state:""Probably as it is an ordinary post might be received by you in your office by anyone in your office.The draft was then presented in the bank together with a paying-in-slip and the amount of the draft was duly credited in the account.Thereafter the person who opened the account with the bank and deposited the draft for Rs. 8,000 made enquiries from time to time about the cashing of the draft.JUDGMENT Shah, J.The accused Abu Ismail was tried in Sessions Case No. 21 of 1957 for offences under Section 411, Section 467, and Section 471 read with Section 467 of the Indian Penal Code.The accused was tried before the Additional Sessions Judge, Greater Bombay, with a common jury.The jury brought in a majority verdict of 8 to 1 against the accused for the there offences charged against him.All the substantive sentences were directed to run concurrently.The accused has appealed to this Court.The letter was addressed to K. Umakant.It appears that this draft with the enclosing letter did not reach K. Umakant.A partner of the Hubli firm then came to Bombay.It appears that on 25-5-1956 an application for opening an account in the name of Kamalakant Umakant Joshi residing at Patel Mansions, Chowpaty, Bombay 7, was submitted to the Manager of the New Citizen Bank of India, Ltd., Queen's Road Branch, Bombay.In the application the introductory reference was given by one Seth C. Das and the occupation of the applicant was shown as ""Commission Agent"" and address as ""Opposite to Grant Road Station"".The applicant deposited a sum of Rs. 500/ in cash for opening the account.In the specimen signature card which accompanied the application it was stated that the applicant will sign on cheques as ""K. Umakant."" In the afternoon of the same day, the draft for Rs. 8,000/- which was sent by the Hubli firm addressed to K. Umakant of Bombay was presented by the applicant who had opened the account with the New Citizen Bank of India, Ltd. It appears that one Gambre, who was the ledger-keeper in the bank asked the person who presented the draft to endorse the same in his presence even though the draft bore already an endorsement by K. Umakant.On 28th May 1956, he approached Gambre and was told that the draft had been cashed and credit was given to him.Thereupon a cheque for Rupees 7,900/- was drawn in favour of self' and the amount was withdrawn by the person who had deposited that draft.It appears that three more cheques respectively for Rs. 5000/- Rs. 3,000/- and Rs. 2,000/- were deposited but those cheques were dishonoured.On 30th May 1956, the net balance which remained with the bank in the account opened on 25th May 1956, was Rs. 171/12/. It is the case for the prosecution that the accused had received the draft for Rs. 8,000/- knowing the same to be stolen property and had thereafter endorsed the same in favour of the New Citizen Bank of India, Ltd., and had withdrawn the amount of Rs. 7,900/- which as the proceeds of the draft.Pursuant to the complaint made on 4th June 1956, investigation was started by the police and ultimately the accused was arrested and he was charged wit the offence under Section 379, or,in the alternative under Section 411 of the Penal Code and also for the offences under Section 467, of the Penal Code.It appears that the jury accepted the prosecution case that it was the accused who had presented the draft ad the bank and had made an endorsement on the reverse of the draft in the presence of Gambre and that the accused was not the person who was the addressee of the letter which was sent by the Hubli firm with which the draft was enclosed.The learned Judge put the respective versions of the Honorary Presidency Magistrate and of Gambre and told the jury that it was for them to decide whether the evidence of Gambre should be accepted in preference to the evidence of the Honorary Presidency Magistrate.","['Section 467 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 164 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

W. 1 Satish Chandra lodged a written report Ext. Ka1 at P.S. Chandausi, District Bheemnagar at 15:35 hours on 15.7.2012 regarding the murder of his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi and causing injuries to him by the appellant-Babu Ram on 15.7.2012 at about 14:45 hours in front of his house in Village Pathra within the territorial jurisdiction of P. S. Chandauli, District Bheemnagar.Left lungs was punctured.Weight of heart was 180 gram and was empty.100 ml.semi-digested food was present in stomach.Mucous was normal.P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma was of the opinion that the deceased had died about 18 hours before conducting the postmortem due to shock and haemorrhage as a result of ante-mortem injuries.Similarly, P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh Chandra have also in their respective examinations-in-chief corroborated the evidence of P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra on all material points relating to the time, place and manner of attack and the identity of the perpetrators of crime.However, P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal both fumbled during their cross-examination.Although P. W. 1 Satish Chandra in his examination-in-chief had deposed that the FIR of the incident was scribed by one Ranveer on his dictation and after he had read over the FIR to him he had signed the same and given it at the Police Station Chandausi.However, as noted hereinabove, P. W. 1 Satish Chandra in his cross-examination deposed that before the FIR of the incident was scribed, he had consulted the SHO, the FIR of the incident was thereafter, written on the instructions of the SHO by a police personnel with whom he had met at the police station and whose name he did not know.Similarly, P. W. 2 Netrapal also in his cross-examination on page 20 of the paper book stated on oath that he had left for the police station along with his brother to lodge the FIR of the incident at about 5:30 P.M., they had met the SHO at the police station and narrated the entire incident to him and the report was thereafter, written in the police station after they had consulted the SHO.Although, in the FIR as well as in the statements of all the three witnesses of fact it has been stated that on the date of incident, an altercation had taken place between the children of the appellant and the informant on account of which later in the day while informant and his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi were present in their house and Smt. Shiv Dai mother of the informant was sitting on the door steps of his house, the appellant came armed with a knife to the house of the informant and started abusing his wife and when she objected he stabbed her with his knife and when the informant tried to save her he dealt a blow with his knife to him also.However, on page 17 of the paper book, P. W. 1 Satish Chandra came out with an entirely different version of the occurrence by deposing that he had never quarrelled with the appellant.Appellant-Babu Ram had come to his house from the western side and had stopped at the turning.His wife had then gone out of her house.Neither any quarrel had taken place between the appellant-Babu Ram and informant's wife Smt. Nanhi Devi nor any altercation had taken place between them.Ramesh, Murari and Rubi were not present at the place of incident and they had arrived at the crime scene after 15-20 minutes.The incident had taken place outside his house, near the house of P. W. 2 Netrapal and not inside his house.His wife had received 9 wounds.He had seen the knife which had a copper handle.The blade of the knife was about one foot long and it was sharp edged on one side.The appellant before fleeing from the place of occurrence had left the knife behind which he had handed over to the police.The aforesaid report was noted in the chek FIR Ext. Ka4 as Case Crime No. 298 of 2012, under Sections 302, 452, 324, 504 and 506 IPC on 15.7.2012 at 15:35 hours.He thereafter, dispatched the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi to the District Hospital for conducting postmortem.The postmortem on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi was conducted by P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma on 16.7.2012 who also prepared the postmortem report of the deceased which is on record as.Ext. Ka2 and noted following ante mortem injuries on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi :(i) Straight abrasion 3.0 cm x ½ cm on left side of forehead, just above the left eyebrow.(ii) Punctured wound 4.0 cm x 2.0 cm on left side of chest, 6.00 cm below from clavicle bone.On internal examination, fourth rib was found to be fractured and lungs was ruptured.Around 1 liter blood was present in chest cavity.(iii) Incised wound 11 cm x 7 cm x muscle deep, in front of joint of right elbow.(iv) Five punctured wounds in the area of 22 cm x 10 cm on chest and on right side of abdomen.Minor wound 2 cm x ½ cm x muscle deep and major wound 5 cm x 2 cm x abdomen cavity deep.On internal examination, liver was found to be punctured at three places.Around 1 liter blood was present in abdomen cavity.(v) Incised wound 2 cm x 01 cm x muscle deep outwards on left hand.(vi) Incised wound 4 cm x ½ cm x muscle deep on left arm.(vii) 03 incised wounds in the area of 23 cm x 13 cm outwards of left thigh.Minor wound 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm x muscle deep and major wound 6 cm x 2.5 cm x muscle deep.Fourth leftward rib of chest was fractured and third rib of rightward was fractured.After the appellant was arrested and on his pointing out the crime weapon (knife) allegedly used by the appellant in committing the murder of the deceased and causing injuries to the informant was recovered on 1.8.2012, consequently Case Crime No. 298 of 2012, under Section 4/25 Arms Act was also registered against him.The investigation of Case Crime No. 298 of 2012 was taken over by P. W. 7, S.I. Rajvir Singh after the first Investigating Officer Rajvir Singh was transferred to District Sambhal.Both the cases were committed to the Court of Sessions Judge, Moradabad for the trial of the accused by committal order dated 9.10.2012 passed by CJM, Moradabad where the same were registered as S.T. No. 1074 of 2012 and S.T. No. 1075 of 2012 and made over for trial from there to the Court of Special Judge (E.C. Act)/Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad vide order dated 11.1.2013 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad.The appellant pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.Thereafter, the prosecution was asked to lead evidence for proving the charges framed against the appellant in both the sessions trial.The prosecution, in order to prove its case, against the appellant examined as many as 9 witnesses of whom P. W. 1 Satish Chandra, P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh were examined as witnesses of fact while P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma who had conducted the postmortem on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi, P. W. 5 Dr. Mohd. Aslam who had examined the injuries of informant Satish Chandra, P. W. 6 Constable Ram Kumar who had prepared the chek FIR and G.D. Entry, P. W. 7 S. I., Rajvir Singh, second Investigating Officer of the case, P. W. 8 S.H.O., Rajvir Singh, first Investigating Officer of the case, P. W. 9 S. I., Megh Singh, witness of recovery of crime weapon and P. W. 10, Head Constable Omkar Sharma who had prepared the chek FIR and the corresponding G.D. entry were produced as formal witnesses during the trial.The appellant in his statement recorded during the trial under Section 313 Cr.P.C. denied the prosecution case as false and incorrect.He denied having committed any murder.As regards the recovery of knife on his pointing out, he stated that it was recovered from a drain and not from the jungle on the alleged pointing out of the appellant as alleged by the prosecution.The appellant did not examine any witness in defence.Learned Trial Judge after considering the submissions advanced before him by the learned counsel for the parties and scrutinizing the evidence on record, both oral as well as documentary, convicted the appellant under Section 302, 307 and 506 IPC and 4/25 Arms Act and awarded aforesaid sentences to him.However, the Trial Judge acquitted the appellant of the charge under Section 452 and 504 IPC by extending benefit of doubt to him.Hence this appeal.Sri Rahul Misra, Amicus Curiae, appearing for the appellant has submitted that the motive for the appellant to commit the offence as spelt out in the FIR that a quarrel had taken place between the appellant and the informant and his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi over a fight which had ensued between the children of the informant and the accused earlier on the same day which culminated into stabbing of the informant and his wife by the appellant.The FIR written on the dictation of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra never saw the light of the day.It is not established from the evidence of P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh that they had witnessed the incident.The correct facts are that the wife of the informant Smt. Nanhi was living with the appellant and his wife and on account of the aforesaid fact he had become inimical towards him and it was on account of the aforesaid enmity that he had falsely implicated him in the present case.In the absence of any public witness, the alleged recovery of the crime weapon on 1.8.2012 on the pointing out of the appellant as alleged by the prosecution is wholly fabricated especially in view of the deposition made by the witnesses of fact produced by the prosecution during the trial that the appellant after committing the murder had thrown away the knife in the drain and the knife was recovered by the police from the place of incident itself.He lastly submitted that the prosecution having miserably failed to prove the charge framed against the appellant by any cogent and reliable evidence, neither the recorded conviction of the appellant nor the sentences awarded to him can be sustained and are liable to be set aside.Per contra Sri.A. N. Mulla and Sri J.K. Upadhaya, learned A. G. A. appearing for the State submitted that the prosecution case stands fully proved from the evidence of three witnesses of fact produced by the prosecution during the trial including that of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra (informant) who had received injuries in the same incident and whose presence at the place of occurrence cannot be doubted even for a moment.It is also proved from the evidence of P. W. 7 S.I. Rajvir Singh and P. W. 9 S.I. Megh Singh that the crime weapon (knife) was recovered on the pointing out of the appellant pursuant to the disclosure statement made by him before the police after his arrest.The postmortem report of the deceased and the injury report of the injured have been duly proved by P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma and P. W. 5 Dr. Mohd. Aslam.The medical evidence on record fully corroborates the ocular version.This appeal lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at great length and perused the entire lower court record.The FIR of this case discloses that on 15.7.2012 an altercation took place between the children of the informant and the appellant-Babu Ram at about 2:45 P.M. while the informant and his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi were present inside their house and his mother Smt. Shiv Dai was sitting on the doorsteps.Appellant-Babu Ram residing in Village Pathra at the time of occurrence came with a knife in his hand and started abusing the wife of informant.When the informant asked him not to abuse his wife, appellant-Babu Ram started inflicting knife blows on his wife and when the informant tried to rescue her, he stabbed him also.On hearing the noise, informant's mother Smt. Shiv Dai and his brother P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh Chandra son of Natthu Lal resident of the same village rushed to the place of occurrence and rescued them whereupon the appellant-Babu Ram fled away from the place of occurrence extending life threats to the informant.The informant then took his wife to the hospital with the help of his family members.However, she succumbed to the injuries sustained by her in the occurrence, on way to the hospital.Leaving the dead body of his wife in the hospital, the informant went to the police station to lodge the FIR of the occurrence.Record further shows that the FIR of the incident which had taken place on 15.7.2012 at about 2:45 P.M. was lodged by the informant P. W. 1 Satish Chandra at P. S. Chandausi at 3:35 P.M.Inviting our attention to the facts deposed by P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal in their cross examination, learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the FIR in this case is ante timed.Upon perusal of the cross-examination of P.W.1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal, it transpires that P.W.1 Satish Chandra has in his cross-examination deposed that he had gone to lodge the FIR at about 3 P.M. half an hour after the incident.His report was lodged at about 4 P.M. Then he said that he did not have a watch.The report was lodged at about 5 P.M. He further stated that he had gone to the police station straightaway and reached there at about 8 P.M., it took him about half an hour in lodging the FIR.Similarly, P.W.2 in his cross-examination deposed that he had gone to lodge the FIR of the occurrence with his brother at 5:30 P.M.It is noteworthy that the evidence of P. W. 1 and P. W. 2 was recorded almost 1 year after the occurrence.Undisputedly both the witnesses P. W. 1 and P. W. 2 are almost uneducated and merely because of some contradictions in their statements with regard to the time at which the FIR of the incident was registered vis-a-vis the time of the registration of FIR mentioned in the chek FIR and the G.D. entry it cannot be held that the FIR in this case is ante timed.The fact that the FIR was registered at the time mentioned in the chek FIR stands fully proved from the fact that the inquest on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi was conducted on 15.7.2012 at 15:35 hours.The inquest report of the deceased-Smt.Nanhi Devi Ext. Ka9 clearly mentions the case crime number which indicates that the FIR had come into existence before the inquest proceedings started.The complaint was scribed in the police station.Thus, in view of the above, the possibility of the first written report of the incident having been suppressed and another first information report prepared on the advice of and after consultation with the concerned SHO cannot be ruled out.P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra in his examination-in-chief had categorically deposed that his complaint was scribed by one Ranveer on his dictation and thereafter, he had lodged the same at Police Station Chandausi but from the facts stated by him and P. W. 2 Netrapal in their cross-examinations referred to hereinabove, it transpires that the report of the occurrence which was originally scribed by one Ranveer on the dictation of the informant Satish Chandra never saw the light of the day.So far as the credibility of the FIR in this case is concerned, we find upon perusal of the evidence of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal that the same stands totally shattered.The FIR in this case is proved to have been scribed by a police personnel whom the informant had met at the police station and before scribing the FIR the informant had consulted SHO of the concerned police station, thereafter, the FIR was written by a police man on behalf of informant on the instructions of the S.H.O. In view of the above, the possibility of the prosecution as spelt out in the FIR being false, fabricated and concocted cannot be ruled out.The issue which next arises for our consideration is that whether the evidence of P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra, P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh Chandra who were examined as eye-witnesses of the incident is reliable and trustworthy or not.P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra in his examination-in-chief has fully supported the prosecution case.On page 25 of the paper book in his cross-examination he further stated that he and P. W. 1 Satish Chandra had reached the place of occurrence on hearing the noise from the side of the road and it was incorrect to say that he was present at the place of incident at the time of occurrence.Satish Chandra had also received injuries at the hands of the appellant in the same incident.The injury report of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra indicates that following injuries were found on his person :(i) Incised wound 7.00 cm x 2.00 cm on lower portion of left hand, edges of which were sharp and bone deep.Blood was oozing and its x-ray advised.(ii) Red straight mark of abrasion 6.00 cm long in middle of left hand.(iii) Punctured wound 1.00 cm x 0.5 cm on left elbow, edges of which were sharp; depth could not be measured.Blood was oozing which was kept under observation and x-ray advised for left elbow.(iv) Incised wound 2.00 cm x 5.00 cm, 22 cm above from left knee on left thigh (sharp edged and muscle deep, red in colour) which was kept under observation and x-ray advised for left thigh.(v) Red abrasion wound 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm downwards on left chest, 9.00 cm downwards and outwards from left nipple.(vi) Red abrasion wound 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm, 3 cm below on stomach at left side and was outwards.Abrasion wound 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm on posterior of chest leftwards at lower portion.Upon reading the evidence of P. W. 5 Mohd. Aslam, we find that since P. W. 1 Satish Chandra had not got his injuries X-rayed, he was not in a position to state whether the injuries sustained by him were simple or grievous in nature and it was on account of the aforesaid omission that supplementary report of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra could not prepared.He has further deposed that it was possible that the injuries received by him could be caused on 15.7.2012 at about 2:45 P.M.The next question which arises for our consideration in this appeal is that whether P. W. 1 Satish Chandra notwithstanding the fact that he was present at the place of occurrence has given correct and cogent description of the incident or not.However, in view of the categorical deposition made by P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal on pages 17 and 20 of their cross-examination that the appellant after stabbing the deceased in her stomach with a knife had run away abandoning the knife at the place of occurrence which was picked up by P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and handed over to the police personnel on their arrival at the place of occurrence and which was sealed by them in a packet on the date of incident itself and on which thumb impression of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra were obtained, the entire prosecution case that crime weapon was recovered on the pointing out of the appellant-Babu Ram from an open place pursuant to the disclosure statement made by him before the police after his arrest stands totally falsified and fabricated.Thus, upon a holistic view of the facts of the case and a careful appraisal and scrutiny of the evidence on record, we do not find that the prosecution has been able to prove its case against the appellant beyond all reasonable doubts.The credibility of the FIR in this case is under a heavy cloud and in view of the above, the possibility of the prosecution case as narrated in the FIR being concocted and fabricated at the behest of the police personnel cannot be ruled out.Moreover, the prosecution has not been able to establish the place of occurrence.P. W. 1 Satish Chandra cannot be categorized as a wholly reliable witness in view of the glaring contradictions and discrepancies in his evidence with regard to the motive for the appellant to commit the offence, the place of occurrence and manner of attack.In view of the foregoing discussion, neither the recorded conviction of the appellant nor the sentence awarded to him can be sustained and are liable to be set aside.The appeal succeeds and is accordingly allowed.The impugned judgment and order dated 15.9.2014 passed by Special Judge (E.C. Act)/Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad in S.T. No. 1074 of 2012 (State Versus Babu Ram) is hereby set aside.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The second charge, which has been framed against the present petitioner, along with A-1, is for a substantive offence of breach of trust under section 409 read with section 120B IPC.The third charge, which is alternatively, framed against the petitioner and the A-1 is for cheating under section 420 read with section 120B IPC.BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 4 of 35BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 4 of 35The case is presently going on, for recording of prosecution evidence and I have been given to understand that statements of some of the witnesses have already been recorded by the prosecution.The present application for grant of regular bail of the petitioner was taken up along with the bail applications of the other five co-accused persons, A-13 to A-19, (except the companies).Aman Lekhi, learned senior counsel, was heard partially along with the other counsel, who had appeared for that set of accused persons, however, as the cases of those accused persons were treated as a separate class in itself on account of two reasons; firstly that those five accused persons were not public servants and, secondly, in their case the CBI had not opposed the grant of bail, therefore, they were heard and disposed of vide a separate order on 28.11.2011, while as the present case was segregated to be dealt with separately.Arguments were heard afresh in the present case after BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 5 of 35 disposal of the bail applications of the aforesaid five accused persons and the submissions, which were made by Mr.Lekhi, learned senior counsel, for grant of bail to the petitioner, were essentially the following:BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 5 of 35(i) The first and the foremost submission, which was made by Mr.Lekhi, learned senior counsel for the petitioner for grant of bail to the present petitioner, was that he is to be treated at par with the other co-accused persons, who have already been extended the benefit of bail both by the Supreme Court as well as by this Court.Emperor, AIR 1937 ALL.754 and Hira Lal Vs.Emperor, AIR 1917 ALL.BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 9 of 35BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 9 of 35(iii) It was next contended by Mr.Lekhi, learned senior counsel, that so far as the petitioner is concerned there are no allegations of having taken illegal gratification or obtaining any valuable consideration or committing abetment of these two offences, which may be punishable under sections 7 or 11 of the Act. It is also stated that so far as the petitioner is concerned, there is no allegation that he had any role in the alleged giving or taking of the bribe of `200 crores nor has he benefited in any manner whatsoever from the allocation of 2G Spectrum or Unified Access License.In this regard, the learned senior counsel has drawn the attention of the Court to certain correspondence, which had taken place between the officials of the Government, prior to 01.01.2008 in order to show so far as the BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 10 of 35 petitioner is concerned, he has absolutely no role to play in the question of formulation of policy of first cum first serve basis and was only implementing the same in terms of the directions of the Department.BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 10 of 35(iv) Next, it was contended by Mr.Lekhi, that the petitioner has already been in custody for almost 10 months and, thus, being incarcerated for the longest period and the fact he is not an influential person or has no political influence or clout, to influence the witnesses, he may not be denied the benefit of bail as has been extended to other persons, as the trial is going to last for quite some time.NO.1610/2011 Page 11 of 35BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 11 of 35Keeping in view the aforesaid broad parameters, I intend to deal with the submissions, which have been raised by BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 15 of 35 the learned senior counsel for the petitioner for the grant of bail.BAIL APPL.NO.1610/2011 Page 15 of 35B.B.Singh/PW-26, the then DDG (LF); Mr.The petitioner has been a member of elite bureaucracy.All the witnesses, whose statements have been recorded by the prosecution, no doubt, have to prove documents but, at the same time, they have also orally testified against the petitioner, which implicates him in the crime.NO.1610/2011 Page 30 of 35 also come by way of oral evidence in as much as the petitioner was posted as an Additional Secretary in the Department of Environment, when his mentor, A-1, was posted there as a Minister.Similarly, the factum of the oral orders, having been issued from time to time so as to permit the A-1, the main conspirator, to have a free hand in the execution of his illegal design, have been issued by the present petitioner, like fixation of four counters so as to defeat the policy of ""first cum first serve"" and implement it in a manner so as to benefit certain pre-determined parties or that the officials of the Department of Telecommunications, who is transferred out of the Department on the oral orders of the Secretary, DoT, clearly shows that there is a likelihood that in case the petitioner is released on bail he will try his best to subvert the trial by influencing the witnesses, who have testified against him especially to the extent to which their statements against the petitioner are oral.I, BAIL APPL.","['Section 409 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"P.W. 1, Rajavadivu, is a resident of Poochampatti village.Jayakodi is the wife of the appellant.Deceased was her maternal uncle.Deceased was a resident of Oorappanur, whereas the appellant was a resident of Ariyapatti village.P.W. 2, Annokodi, resides just south of the house of P.W. 1, in Poochampatti village.Seven or eight months prior to occurrence, deceased Doraiswami had gone over to Ariyapatti village as a guest.When Jayakodi, wife of the appellant, was alone in her residence, deceased was found talking merrily with her.Appellant who saw both of them together, entertained flame of suspicion, against their conduct.About a month prior to occurrence, P.W. 1 in the company of the appellant, were over to P.W. 7, Ammavasai.P.W. 1 told P.W. 7 that the deceased had teased Jayakodi and, therefore, the deceased must be asked to swear, that in further he would not have any connection with Jayakodi.To this suggestion of P.W. 1, appellant was not aggreeable.It is, in this background, that the alleged occurrence had taken place.One Mokkachi, wife of the uncle of the deceased, had expired sometime prior to 11-6-1985 at Poochampatti.On 11-6-1985, the date of occurrence, there was some function in connection with the death of Mokkachi.P.W. 1 was also residing in another portion of the same house.At or about 5-30 p.m., deceased who had participated in the ceremony at the residence of Mokkachi, went over to the house of P.W. 1, and engaged himself in conversation with P.W. 1 for a short while and thereafter accompanied by him went towards the manthai.On the east west street, opposite to the house of Karuppanna Asari (not examined), appellant was found seated on a granite bench.As soon as the deceased neared him, appellant suddenly stabbed the deceased with a knife on his left flank.Shouting that the appellant had stabbed him, injured Doraiswami fell down.When P.W. 2 attempted to catch hold of the appellant, and in such process caught hold of the latter's hand, appellant resisted and ran away.In that transaction, P.W. 2 sustained a simple injury on his left little finger.P.Ws. 1 and 2 chased the appellant.They noticed P.W. 6, Sunthan, coming towards them from the opposite direction.When P.W. 6 attempted to apprehend the appellant, the appellant threatened to stab any one who neared him.Hence, P.W. 6 desisted from catching hold of the appellant.P.W. 1 and P.W. 2 enquired Doraiswami as to the cause of the attack to which injured Doraiswami replied that since the appellant had seen him boisterously engaged in conversation with his wife, he had chosen to stab him.Injured Doraiswami was taken in a bullock-cart to Chek-kanoorani police station at or about 8 p.m. He was not in a position to talk.The dead body was sent to the mortuary.Ex. P. 3 is the extract of accident register.On the same day, he examined P.W. 2 at or about 9 p.m. He found on him an abrasion over the left little finger 2 cm., in size.The said injury was simple.Ex. P. 5 is the wound certificate.P.W. 3 forwarded death intimation, Ex. P. 6, to the outpost police station.Soon thereafter, crime was altered into one under S. 302, Penal Code.P.W. 12 prepared express altered report, Ex. P. 19, and forwarded the same to the higher hierarchy of police officials and the Magistrate.JUDGMENT Arunachalam, J.This appeal is directed against the judgment of the Principal Sessions Judge, Madurai, in S.C. No. 82 of 1986, convicting appellant Selvakkodi, under S. 302, Penal Code, and sentencing him to undergo imprisonment for life.The appellant is also charged under S. 324, Penal Code, for having caused hurt to P.W. 2, Annakodi, with a dangerous weapon.However, after trial, he was acquitted of the said charge.Prosecution case, he brief, is as follows :- Occurrence which led to this prosecution is alleged to have taken place at or about 6.30 p.m., on 11-6-1985, near the manthai, in East Street at Poochampatti village.Appellant is alleged to have stabbed deceased Doraiswami with a knife on his left flank, leading to the victim succumbing to the injury sustained, when he was in the process of transit, to Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai.P.W. 2 was proceeding behind P.W. 1 and the deceased.P.W. 1 narrated the occurrence to to P.W. 12, the then Sub-Inspector of Police.On Ex. P. 1, P.W. 12 registered Crime No. 173 of 1985 under S. 324, Penal Code.Ex. P. 17 is the printed first information report, which he forwarded to the concerned Magistrate and his superior officers.P.W. 12 also forwarded injured Doraiswami and P.W. 2 with medical memos, Exs.P. 2 and P. 4, to the Government Rajaji Hospital, Madurai, for examination and treatment.P.W. 3, Dr. Jayaraman, examined on 11-6-1985 at 8.50 p.m. injured Doraiswami, and found him dead.On him an incised wound over the left side abdomen 2 1/2 cm x 1 cm x depth not probed just below the left costal margin was noticed.P.W. 13, Mohammed Basheer, Inspector of Police, on receipt of copy of Ex. P. 19, took up investigation and reached Poochampatti village on the same night.At the Government Hospital mortuary, he conducted inquest over the corpse of Doraiswami between 8.30 a.m., and 11 a.m., during the course of which he examined P.Ws. 1 and 2 Ex. P. 21 is the inquest report.After inquest, he despatched the dead body through police constable, Kamatchi (P.W. 5) with requisition (Ex. P. 7) to Dr. Thiagarajan, (P.W. 4), for the conduct of post-mortem.He found the following injury on the corpse.A vertically oblique stab injury with regular margins and both ends pointed on upper part of the left side of the abdomen 3 cm x 1 cm, entering into the abdominal cavity downwards and towards the midline, upper end of the wound 17 cm., below and towards the inner side from the left nipple, lower and 16 cm.above and outer side of the umbilicus.Internally wound was found piercing through the abdominal muscles, cutting the lower margin of the left lobe of the liver through and through 1.5 cm.x 1 cm., piercing the pancreas 2 cm x .5 cm x 1.5 cm., and perforating the mesentry 1 cm, with cutting the mesentry and underlying vessels.In the opinion of the doctor, deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhage due to stab injury No. 1 correlated to internal injuries.Death should have occurred about 16 to 18 hours prior to post-mortem.Injury found on the deceased was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.Ex. P. 8 is the post-mortem certificate.Material objects seized during investigation, inclusive of the apparel of the deceased were forwarded to the Magistrate with a request to despatch them for chemical analysis.P. 15 and P. 16 are the reports of the chemical analyst and serologist respectively.When the appellant was examined under S. 313, Cr.P.C., to explain the incriminating circumstances appearing against him in evidence, he chose to deny his complicity in the crime.He went on to add that P.W. 1 was aggrieved against him since he refused to give his younger sister in marriage to him.P.W. 2 also was inimically disposed towards him.His uncle had purchased a piece of land from P.W. 2 insisted that the said property should be reconveyed which of course was refused by his uncle.In short, the claim of the appellant was that this was a false prosecution.However, he did not choose to adduce any evidence in defence.Learned Sessions Judge, on appraisal of the oral and documentary evidence, accepted the prosecution case and dealt with the appellant in the manner stated earlier.Mr. N. T. Vanamamalai, learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant, contended that the oral evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2, who were interested and inimical witnesses cannot be accepted without corroboration to safely find the appellant guilty of murder.On these contentions, we have heard Mr. B. Sriramulu, learned Public Prosecutor.He submitted that the evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 was cogent and convincing and there was no reason to discredit their versions.It is not seriously disputed that about 7 or 8 months prior to occurrence, appellant had seen his wife in the boisterous company of the deceased, at his residence.Such a meeting kindled suspicion in the mind of the appellant which led to his informing P.W. 1 about the conduct of the deceased.P.W. 1 in his turn complained to P.W. 7 Ammasi and suggested that an undertaking may be obtained from the deceased not to misbehave any more with Jayakodi.Appellant was not aggreeable for obtaining a mere undertaking.It can, therefore, be safely, taken that the appellant was aggrieved against the deceased.In between the occurrence and the prior meeting between the deceased and the appellant's wife, nothing untoward appears to have happened.Appellant who was originally residing at Ariyapatti had chosen to live at Poochampatti village some two months prior to occurrence.P.W. 1 has admitted in his evidence that the appellant was residing in the house of his mother-in-law at or about the time of occurrence.P.W. 1 has further admitted that in the same house, he was residing in the northern portion while his elder brother, the father-in-law of the appellant, was residing in the southern portion with the members of his family.It is thus clear that the deceased who had gone over to Poochampetti village to participate in a ceremony connected with the death of the wife of his uncle, had chosen to step into the house of P.W. 1 around 5-30 p.m., on the occurrence day after the ceremony was over.At that time, admittedly, the appellant was not available at his residence.It appears probable that the appellant who was seated only a few feet away near the house of Karuppanna Asari was able to witness the deceased entering into the house of P.W. 1 where his wife was also residing.Sometime later, when P.W. 1 and the deceased went towards manthai appellant is stated to have inflicted one stab on the left flank of the deceased with a knife.P.Ws. 1 and 2 have been examined as ocular witnesses.If P.W. 1 could be characterised as an interested witness, he is equally interested in the appellant.For both of them are close relations.After perusing the evidence of P.W. 1, we are unable to comprehend as to why P.W. 1 should falsely implicate the appellant in this grave crime unless he had witnessed the attack proper.We cannot overlook the fact that P.W. 1 went in support of the appellant to P.W. 7 and suggested that the deceased must furnish an undertaking that he would not have any relationship with Jayakodi in future.The presence of P.W. 2 at the time of occurrence cannot also be doubted.Both P.W. 1 and 2 are natural witnesses.When P.W. 1 and deceased were proceeding together, followed by P.W. 2, this unfortunate occurrence had taken place.Both of them in unison, have stated that the appellant suddenly stabbed the deceased with a knife on his left flank, leading to the victim falling down shouting that the appellant had stabbed him.As one would normally expect, P.W. 2 had attempted to snatch the knife from the appellant in which process he sustained a simple injury.Appellant was acquitted of the charge under S. 324, Penal Code, in respect of the injuries sustained by P.W. 2 for the appellant cannot be stated to have voluntarily caused hurt to P.W. 2, since he had sustained it, in his attempt to snatch away the knife from the appellant.When the appellant was running away, P.Ws. 1 and 2 and P.W. 6 coming from the opposite direction had attempted to apprehend him.Since the appellant was armed with a knife, they were unable to succeed in their mission.When P.W. 1 questioned the deceased, the latter is stated to have made an oral dying declaration that stabbing was a result of the appellant having seen him talking and laughing with his wife Jayakodi.The learned Sessions Judge was not inclined to accept the oral dying declaration on the ground that if P.W. 1 had seen the occurrence, there was no need to question the deceased.We are unable to agree with the learned trial Judge.It is not as though P.W. 1 was not an ocular witness, but all that the deceased had stated to him was the cause for which he was stabbed.We are able to visualise that P.W. 1 was aware of the estrangement between the appellant and the deceased due to the latter's conduct in moving freely with the former's wife.Disgust coupled with suspicion cropped up again and the appellant simmering with pangs of anger had stabbed once on the left flank of the deceased.We are unable to distrust the evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 who have spoken cogently and clearly about the role played by the appellant.Soon thereafter, a complaint was preferred before the Sub-Inspector of Police, Chekkanoorani Police Station, situated at a distance of 5 kms., from the scene of occurrence.We cannot overlook that the crime was initially registered under S. 324, I.P.C. Injured Doraiswami and P.W. 2 were sent away to Government a Rjaji Hospital, Madurai, situated 19 kms.away from the police station.Only after the death of the deceased was made known to the investigating agency, crime was altered to murder and thereafter altered express report was forwarded to the concerned Magistrate.As soon as the crime was altered at 10 p.m., prompt steps were taken to despatch express report with Ex. P. 1 to the Magistrate who had received them at 4.30 p.m. The residence of the Magistrate was at Usilampatti within whose jurisdiction the offence has been committed.Taking note of the fact that it was night time, we are unable to find any sinister delay in the receipt of the first information report by the Magistrate.In Ex. P. 1 first information report, P.W. 1 has stated the presence of P.W. 2 at the scene, the manner in which the occurrence had taken place and the motive as well.The present evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 is fully in tune with the averments made in the first information report.We further have medical corroboration of the ocular evidence, furnished by P.W. 3, Dr. Jayaraman and P.W. 4, Dr. Thiagarajan.The evidence of P.W. 2 has an additional advantage since he was injured in the course of the same occurrence.The evidence is credible, clinching and straightforward.Having arrived at the conclusion that the appellant is the assailant of the deceased, the question which still looms large is the nature of offence committed by the appellant.There is evidence to show that the deceased had visited Poochampatti even on a prior occasion after the appellant had taken residence with his parents-in-law.The proximate cause for the incident appears to be the appellant having seen the deceased in the company of P.W. 1 entering into his house.The appellant was already simmering with anger at the prior conduct of the deceased.Obviously being unable to tolerate yet another visit by the deceased to his residence, he had chosen to inflict one stab, but not on the vital region of the victim.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"The facts giving rise to the filing of the bail application in brief are that in the year 1997 the complainant Harnam Singh filed a complaint against the applicant under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act. The applicant is a Non-resident Indian settled in Kuwait.In connection with the complaint, the applicant filed exemption applications seeking exemption from personal appearance on 26.5.1999 and 10.6.1999 on the basis of two OPD medical Bail Appln.1017/2013 Page 1 of 6 slips dated 20.5.1999 and 7.6.1999 respectively.Exemption was granted on the basis on these certificates.On 22.9.2003 the complaint under Section 138 was withdrawn.Bail Appln.1017/2013 Page 1 of 6On 1.3.2005, on the basis of another complaint filed by the complainant alleging that the medical certificates were forged, the summoning court issued orders summoning the applicant.Against the aforesaid FIR the applicant filed a petition before this Court under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. which was however withdrawn.A second petition was filed under Section 482 which is stated to be pending disposal.In the meantime, the applicant had also preferred Crl.By order dated 30.5.2013, this Court (S.P.Garg, J.) quashed the summoning order and allowed the petition.Apprehending arrest in the FIR filed by the complainant, the applicant seeks anticipatory bail.The learned counsel for the applicant strongly relies on the order of this Court cited above and states that the basis for the issue of summons and Bail Appln.1017/2013 Page 2 of 6 the basis for the registration of the FIR being the same, and the summons having been quashed, there is nothing which survives in the FIR and, therefore, the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.He points out that there is inordinate delay in filing the FIR which has not been explained.It is further pointed out that he is 68 years of age and is willing to join the investigation for which purpose he may be put to terms.Bail Appln.1017/2013 Page 2 of 6On the other hand, the learned APP contends that as per the correspondence with the Indian Embassy in Kuwait, the medical certificates would appear to have been forged and thus a case of forgery has been prima facie made out.He submits that the originals of the medical certificates were never filed and were withheld from the Court.The investigation into the case is afoot and the applicant has failed to join the same.It is also pointed out that the originals are to be recovered from the applicant in order to establish the case of forgery.In his brief rejoinder, the learned counsel for the applicant states that even on 5.4.2013 the applicant had communicated with the investigating officer which shows his bonafide.He further points out that the complainant had withdrawn the complaint under Section 138 against the applicant and there is nothing to show that any benefit was obtained by the applicant by the use of the certificates.Bail Appln.1017/2013 Page 3 of 6On a careful consideration of the matter, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to anticipatory bail.As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the applicant, the basis for the summoning order dated 1.3.2005 and the basis for the FIR are the same.(d) The application filed by the complainant under Section 340 Cr.P.C. was withdrawn.(h) No coercive action was taken by the trial court against the accused.The above finding of this Court impinge on the present proceedings also which arise out of the FIR filed on the same facts and material.The applicant is directed to join the investigation as and when required.He shall also make available his contact telephone number, fax number and E-mail ID to the SHO/IO concerned.Subject to these conditions, anticipatory bail is granted and the bail application is allowed in the above terms.","['Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 467 in The Indian Penal

+"The case in hand also relates to one such unfortunate woman who became a victim of the aggression of her drunkard husband, who under the influence of alcohol went on to commit such horrendous act of burning his own wife.In the present case deceased was just 30 years of age and had a boy child of fourteen years from her first husband.She was attacked by accused when he came back home in a drunk condition.The exact prosecution story as it unfolds in the charge-sheet is as under:-""On 28.11.1987 at 5:50 p.m. an information was received from an unknown person through telephone PCR vide DD No. 41-B CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 2 of 27 that a lady has been burnt by pouring kerosene oil at 1?485, Khichripur colony, some officer be sent.On this information, after recording report of the same was sent to SI Dharmender Kumar through constable Om Prakash, who went to the spot and said SI was told at the spot that the lady Smt. Harjeet has been taken to hospital, SI tried to ascertain the hospital and in the meantime, at 07:25 p.m. vide DD No.15, constable Jai Prakash was informed from safdurjung hospital on telephone that Smt. Harjeet has been admitted in the hospital in the burnt condition.On this S.I reached safdurjung hospital and received MLC No.69629 pertaining to injured Smt. Harjeet.The SI seeing the condition took the SDM, Shadhra, Shri Parimal Rai and reached the hospital.Inviting the attention of this Court to the deposition of PW4-Dharmender who is son of the deceased from her previous marriage, counsel for the appellant submitted that this witness in his examination-in-chief clearly stated that the appellant was having cordial relationship with his mother and no quarrel took place between his mother and the accused.He also deposed that he did not witness any incident of quarrel or threatening by accused to his mother.He also deposed that when he returned to the house he did not see the accused Wilson present at the house.The contention raised by the counsel for the appellant was that this witness was the son of the deceased from her previous marriage and had the accused been involved in the commission of the said crime then at least this witness would have strongly supported the prosecution case instead of coming to the rescue of the appellant.My son, who is from my previous husband, is about 16 years of age.Wilson used to beat me.Earlier I used to CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 9 of 27 reside at Jahangir Puri.Wilson wanted to get rid of me.Even about two weeks back, Wilson had made an attempt to burn me after pouring kerosene oil on me as well as on him and today also he threatened to put an end to my life.It has happened in the evening.The history of assault as is recorded in the MLC would also be relevant and the same is reproduced as under:-""Alleged history of sustaining burns at about 4.30 p.m. on 28.11.1987 at her house in Block No.9, Khichripur, New Delhi, when her husband came home drunk and started abusing her.Then he allegedly poured kerosene oil over her and set her on fire with a matchstick.She rushed out of the house shouting when her neighbour came and poured water over her and brought to hospital.O/E GC critical, smell of kerosene oil.sh Patient fully conscious, oriented.Pulse not palpable CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 10 of 27 Heart rate - 40/ min Resp.rate - 28/ min Tough dug, week veins, collapsed, capitrany ratio poor dehydration & Rest crs & Resp.system NAB L/E Fresh superficial to deep burns over whole of the body except back of head, both treada Part of both lower limbs & groin 85% burns""CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 10 of 27The MLC also records that the patient was fully conscious and oriented.It further records that the burn injuries suffered by the victim were over 85% and also that the general condition of the victim was critical and smell of kerosene oil was coming from her body.The said MLC was proved on record as Ex.

State of Haryana reported in 2011 (10) SCC 173, counsel for the appellant submitted that ratio of this judgment is squarely applicable to the facts of the present case, as in the facts of the said case also, the dying declaration made by the deceased did not carry a certificate by the Executive Magistrate to the effect that it was a voluntary statement made by the deceased and that he had read over the statement to her.Counsel for the appellant also apprised the Court that the appellant had already undergone more than 7 years of incarceration for an offence CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 6 of 27 which he had never committed and is presently leading a happy married life with his wife along with three children.Counsel for the appellant also submitted that the wife of the appellant who is about 38 years of age is suffering from Cancer, Carcinoma Cervix III B and presently she is undergoing Chemo Therapy involving huge expenses and besides his ailing wife, the appellant has also to look after his old aged mother.Based on the above submissions, counsel for the appellant prayed for acquittal of the appellant.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 6 of 27Mr. Sunil Sharma, learned APP for the State, on the other hand fully supported the reasoning given by the learned Trial Court in convicting the appellant under Section 302 IPC and as per him, the same does not warrant any interference by this Court in exercise of its appellate powers.Learned APP for the State submitted that the dying declaration in the present case was recorded by the Magistrate and there is no reason to challenge the credibility and independence of the Magistrate, in truthfully and correctly recording the last statement of the deceased.Learned CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 7 of 27 APP for the State also argued that in the post mortem report of the deceased, proved on record as Ex.PW-20/A, there is no mention about the hands of the deceased being affected by any burn injuries, and therefore, the deceased could have easily affixed her thumb mark on the dying declaration proved on record as Ex.PW-15/A. Learned APP for the State also argued that even the appellant had also received burn injuries on the back side of his right hand, and therefore, he cannot set up the plea of alibi that he was not present at the time of the commission of the crime.Learned APP for the State has drawn attention of this Court to the MLC of the appellant proved on record as Ex.PW-19/A. Based on the above submissions, learned APP for the State prayed for upholding the order of conviction and sentence passed by the learned Trial Court.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 7 of 27We have heard learned counsel for the parties at a considerable length.We have also gone through the Trial Court record before taking a final view in the matter.In the present case, deceased Smt. Harjeet was unsuccessful in her first marriage, which had taken place about 15 years ago with one Mr. Ram Narain.A son, namely, Dharmender was born out of her first wedlock and she was devoting her life in the upbringing of her son.The CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 8 of 27 present accused entered in her life and without formally marrying the deceased as per their customs and traditions, they started living together as husband and wife.On the evening of 28th November, 1987, she was allegedly burnt by the present accused after some quarrel had taken place between them.The deceased was rushed to Safdarjung hospital in the burnt condition where her dying declaration was recorded by the Sub Divisional Magistrate and on 30.11.1987 she succumbed to burn injuries .The text of the said dying declaration is reproduced as under:-CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 8 of 27""My husband Wilson had returned back in the drunken condition, immediately thereafter he started quarrelling.He asked me to go away from the house, at which, I retorted that it is you only who repeatedly moves out of the house and why I should leave.He had vigorously fought with me and thereafter angrily he had poured kerosene oil on me and said that if I do not leave then he will eliminate me.He thereafter with the help of match box ignited fire.Wilson is resident of Jallandhar.This was my second marriage.About 15-16 years have passed after my first marriage.His name was Ram Narain.He left me about 12-13 years back from today.Since for the past 4 years I started living with Wilson.I did not marry him as per customs and tradition.He burnt me with the intention to kill me.He should be apprehended and not allowed to run away.The said dying declaration was recorded by the Sub Divisional Magistrate at about 08:45 p.m. in the Safdarjung hospital.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 9 of 27The MLC also records the name of Mrs. Bohti, mother of the deceased, who had accompanied the deceased at the time of her admission in the hospital.PW-20, Dr. L.T. Ramani, Lok Nayak hospital, Delhi, had conducted the post mortem of the deceased.As per the post mortem report proved on record as Ex.PW-20/A, the deceased had suffered the following burn injuries on her person:No smell of kerosene oil is directed in the scalp hair.There is no other mark of violence on the body""CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 11 of 27In the present case, the counsel for the appellant first challenged the credibility and truthfulness of the said dying declaration made by the deceased.The Counsel for the appellant contended that the dying declaration made by the deceased is uncorroborated and unreliable and therefore the conviction of the accused cannot be made solely on the basis of said dying declaration.Apparently, the deceased was admitted in the hospital at 07:25 p.m. on 28th November.At 08:30 p.m. the police officer made an application to the Doctor, requesting him to allow the recording of statement of the victim.The said application made by the police officer is proved on record as Ex.PW-24/A. On the application made by the police officer, Dr. Ankur Sarkar made an endorsement (Ex.PW-25/F), stating that the victim is fit to make the statement.Thereafter, the SDM recorded the statement of the victim, which concluded at 08:45 p.m. PW-15, Shri Parimal Rai in his court deposition fully supported the said facts.He deposed that before recording the statement of Harjeet, police had obtained the opinion of doctor as to CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 12 of 27 whether Harjeet was fit to make statement or not and on which doctor opined her to be fit to make statement at about 8.30 PM.He further deposed that he finished recording the statement of the victim at about 8.45 PM.The evidence of this witness remained uncontroverted as he was not cross-examined by the defence.From the above factual matrix, it is clear that the dying declaration was recorded immediately after the victim was admitted in the hospital and after the fitness certificate was obtained from the concerned doctor.Thus the chances of it being embellished or tutored do not arise.Further a dying declaration made by a person on the verge of his death has a special sanctity as at that solemn moment a person is most unlikely to make any untrue statement.The shadow of impending death is by itself guarantee of the truth of the statement of the deceased regarding circumstances leading to his death.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 12 of 27It shall also be noted that the SDM is an independent and an impartial witness.It will be useful here to refer the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Harjit Kaur V. State of Punjab , 1999 (3) RCR (Cri) 700, wherein the Court took a view that Sub Divisional Magistrate, being an independent witness holding high position had no reason to do anything which was not proper and therefore genuineness of dying CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 13 of 27 declaration recorded by him could not be easily doubted and conviction recorded on that basis could not be faulted with.The germane portion of the judgment is extracted below:CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 13 of 27It was submitted by the learned counsel for the appellants that about hundred persons had approached the District Magistrate for getting the Dying Declaration of Parminder Kaur recorded and that some of the relative of the deceased had even accompanied the S.D.M. (P.W.-7) while he was going to the hospital for recording her Dying Declaration.He also submitted that the evidence of this witness discloses that three to four persons were present in the room where Parminder Kaur was kept.According to the learned counsel these two circumstances clearly indicate that P.W. 7 had recorded the Dying Declaration under pressure and in presence of those persons who were interested in Parminder Kaur.We do not find any substance in this contention because this witness has categorically stated in his Examination-in-Chief that when he was recording her statement, nobody was present in the room and even the Nurse attending on her was asked to get out of that room.What he has stated in cross examination is that when he had reached that place, three or four persons were seen sitting in the room.Therefore, it is not correct to say that the Dying Declaration was recorded in presence of some relatives of the deceased.The other circumstances that there was an agitation by the relatives of Parminder Kaur for recording her statement cannot lead to an inference that P.W.-7, who was an I.A.S. Officer and holding high position of Sub-Divisional Magistrate had recorded it under pressure and as desired by the relatives of the deceased.There was no reason for him to do so.As regards the condition of Parminder Kaur, the witness has stated that he had first ascertained from the doctor whether she was in a fit condition to make a statement and obtained an endorsement to that effect.Merely because that endorsement was made not on the Dying Declaration itself but on the application, that would not render the Dying Declaration CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 14 of 27 suspicious in any manner.The said endorsement made by the Doctor was produced by him and it has become evidence in the case.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 14 of 27It was further submitted by the learned counsel that the statement of Parminder Kaur was not recorded by the witness in question and answers form.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 18 of 27In the present case at 08:30 p.m. the police officer made an application to the Doctor, requesting him to allow the recording of statement of the victim.The said application made by the police officer is proved on record as Ex.PW-24/A. On the application made by the police officer, CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 19 of 27 Dr. Ankur Sarkar made an endorsement (Ex.PW-25/F) stating that the victim is fit to make the statement.The plea therefore succeeds only if it is shown that the accused was so far away at the relevant time that he could not be present at the place where the crime was committed.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 24 of 27 Apparently, the accused has not placed anything on the record to show that at the time of the alleged incident he was not present at the place of the incident or that he was present at some other place so far away from the place of the incident that he could not be present at the place of incident at the same time.Apart from this, the evidence placed on record clearly show the presence of the accused at the place of incident, at the alleged time, as history of assault as is recorded in the MLC of the accused (Ex.PW-19/A) is ""alleged injury sustained in saving his wife on 28.11.1987"".Further it is pertinent to note that none of these witnesses were present on the spot at the relevant time, thus they cannot state any fact as to what would have had happened at the time when the accused burnt his own wife and had these witnesses not turned hostile, the evidence of all these witnesses, at its best, could have supported the case of prosecution only to the extent that it could prove the relation between the accused and the deceased.Thus even if these witnesses have turned hostile, their evidence will in no way affect the prosecution version that on the alleged day, the accused had burnt his own wife.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 25 of 27In the light of the aforesaid discussion we find ourselves fully satisfied that the said dying declaration was made by the deceased voluntarily and truthfully, free from any kind of tutoring or prompting, and it was duly recorded by the SDM.There lies no merit in the present appeal.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"JUDGMENT Joytosh Banerjee, J.The facts and circumstances leading to the instant application are as follows:The Assistant Secretary (Vigilance) of the Andaman & Nicobar Administration sent a confidential letter to the I. G. of Police, A & N Islands, Port Blair alleging malpractices adopted by the petitioner in the matter of procuring and disposal of a scooter.The background of such allegation was that against an allotment order BCp060084 dated 20.3.79 one Sri Suresh B. Bijalani of Block No. 42/9, East Patel Nagar, New Delhi was allotted with one 'Chetak' Scooter out of foreign exchange quota and the said scooter was duly supplied to Mr. Bijalani by M/s. Bajaj Auto Ltd., New Delhi.The sale of the scooter within a period of two years of its purchase was not permissible.On scrutiny it was found that various column of Form 'A' for payment of road tax and Form 'B' for registration of the vehicle were filled in by the accused/ petitioner, while in Form 'A' the petitioner affixed his own signature on behalf of Mr. Bijalani in Form 'B', the petitioner, it was alleged, signed posing himself to be Mr. Bijalani.The signature in Form 'A' did not tally with the signature of Mr. Bijalani appearing in Form 'B'.The Insurance Policy of the said scooter shows the name of one Mr. Suresh was not found at the address given or in the Government Service at Port Blair.It was alleged that the present petitioner got it done.The scooter was subsequently sold to one Mr. R.V. Alagar Swamy, Contractor of 46, M. G. Market, Port Blair on 15.1.82 within one year of the original purchase from the dealer for Rs. 16,500/-.It was alleged that there was nexus between the petitioner and the said Alagar Swamy.It was further alleged that the petitioner forged the signature of Sri Bijalani for the purpose of registration of the vehicle.In course of the investigation, the Government Examiner of questioned documents gave the view that the handwriting on the aforesaid documents belonged to the petitioner.In the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the police on completion of the investigation submitted chargesheet under Sections 417/ 468/471 of the IPC before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Port Blair who transferred the case to the file of the Judicial Magistrate, First Class (1), Port Blair.The learned Trying Magistrate by his order dated 10.8.88 discharged the petitioner on the ground that no prima facie case on the materials on record justified framing of the charge under any of the provisions of the IPC.Thereafter on receipt of anonymous complaint against the order of the learned Magistrate, the impugned proceeding in revision under Section 399 read with Section 401 of the Cr.PC was started by the learned Sessions Judge (Revision Case No. 13/88).The learned Magistrate thereafter proceeded to consider the whole allegation raised against the present petitioner noting the allegation that the petitioner/ accused Sri Amar Singh Verma (S.I. of Police, A. & N.) committed malpractice in the matter of procurement of a scooter (being Bajaj Chetak bearing registration No. AN 3012) and that the accused/petitioner filled up Forms 'A' and 'B' for registration etc. of the scooter in the name of one Suresh B. Bijalani in his own handwriting and further he had signed in the name of the said Suresh who was unknown and who could not be traced out and in this way the said accused/petitioner used the fictitious name of the said Suresh B. Bijalani and thus he forged documents and cheated the registration and taxing authority of A & N Islands by using the forged documents.Thereafter the learned Magistrate observed that it was an admitted position that the accused did not get the scooter registered in his own name but got it registered in the name of the said Suresh B. Bijalani and as such it could not be said that there was wrongful gain or advantage to the accused with corresponding wrongful loss to another and as such there could not be any question of causing or likely to cause damage or harm in body, mind, reputation or property to the registering or taxing authority or to any other person and as such no question as to deceive, forgery or cheating could arise.On these findings, the learned Magistrate passed the order of discharge.In the suo motu revision, the learned Sessions Judge found in the above mentioned facts and circumstances of the case that the accused/petitioner signed Form 'B' meant for registration of the concerned vehicle posing himself to be Suresh B. Bijalani.","['Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 415 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 417 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mishra, Additional Public Prosecutor.Sub Inspector Sonu Ram.Ms. Nazoo Sharma, Advocate for R2 with R2 in person.HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SUDERSHAN KUMAR MISRA % SUDERSHAN KUMAR MISRA, J.(Oral)This petition has been filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking quashing of FIR No.135/2011, registered under Sections 406/498-A/34 IPC on 19.04.2011 at police station Vijay Vihar, on the ground that the parties have amicably settled the matter.The petitioners as well as the complainant, all of whom are present in person, are also identified by the Investigating Officer, Sub Inspector Sonu Ram.It is stated that the complainant was married to the first petitioner Tapeshwar Singh on 27.11.2009 and thereafter, as a result of certain matrimonial disputes, the complainant lodged a complaint on 10.08.2010 with the Crime Against Women Cell, Nanakpura, Delhi, and ultimately, on 19.04.2011, on the recommendation of the Crime Against Women Cell, the Crl.M.C. No.3295/2014 Page 1 of 7 aforesaid FIR was registered.If the parties ponder over their defaults and terminate their disputes amicably by mutual agreement instead of fighting it out in a court of law, in order to do complete justice in the matrimonial matters, the courts should be less hesitant in exercising their extraordinary jurisdiction.It is trite to state that the power under Section 482 should be exercised sparingly and with circumspection only when the Court is convinced, on the basis of material on record, that allowing the proceedings to continue would be an abuse of process of court or that the ends of justice require that the proceedings ought to be quashed....""M.C.

surrendered before the Judicial Magistrate, No.5 of Madurai.Then heexamined Doctors and other witnesses.He gave requisition to the learnedMagistrate for forwarding the material objects for chemical examination.P9is the chemical analylist report and Ex.P10 is the serologist report.Oncompleting the investigation, he laid charge sheet against all the appellants.The trial court framed the following charges against the appellants.1) Against appellants 1 to 5 under Section 148 IPC.2) Against appellants 1 to 5 under Section 341 IPC for having restrained thedeceased Selvaraj.3) Against accused 1 to 5 under Section 302 read with 149 IPC in respect ofmurder of the deceased Selvaraj.5) Against accused 1 to 2 and 4 under Section 302 readwith 34 IPC in respect ofthe death of the deceased Irulayee.6) Against appellants 3 and 5 under Section 302 read with 149 IPC in respect ofdeath of the deceased Irulayee.7) Against accused 1 under Section 307 IPC for having made an attempt on thelife of P.W.1, Manimegalai.8) Against Accused 2 to 5 under Section 302 read with 149 IPC in respect ofattempt on the life of P.W.1 Manimegalai.Since the appellants pleaded not guilty, they were put on trial.During trial, on the side of the prosecution, 17 witnesses were examined, 22documents were exhibited and 22 material objects were marked.When the appellants were questioned in respect of the incriminatingevidence against them, they denied the same as false.However, they did notchose to examine any witness on their side or mark any document.Having considered the materials available on record, the trial courtfound the accused guilty under various provisions and accordingly convicted andsentenced them as detailed herein above.Challenging the said conviction andsentence, the appellants have come forward with this appeal.The learned counsel for the appellants would submit that in so far asthe killing of the deceased Selvaraj is concerned, absolutely there is noevidence whatsoever.He would submit that the positive case of the prosecutionis that P.W.2 and one Asaithambi witnessed the occurrence.P.W.2 has turnedhostile and Asaithambi has not been examined for the reason best known to theprosecution.Thus, according to him, there is no evidence at all for linkingthe accused with the murder of the deceased Selvaraj and therefore, in respectof those charges, all the appellants are entitled for acquittal.Buttheir evidence cannot inspire confidence of the Court, the learned counselcontended.He would further submit that though it is stated that P.W.1 and thedeceased Irulayee were attacked with aruval as well as with velstick, theinjuries found on the deceased Irulayee and P.W.1 could not have been caused bya weapon like aruval since all the injuries found on them were stab injuries.Thus according to the learned counsel for the appellants, the medical evidencealso does not support.He would further submit that though it is stated that M.Os.4 and 5were used by the appellants 3 and 5 to cause injuries on the deceased Irulayee,but there was no blood found on these weapons.Therefore, the learned counselwould submit that the evidence of P.Ws.1 to 3 are fully unbelievable and assuch, their evidence are liable to be rejected.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit thatthe evidence of P.Ws.1 to 3 cannot be rejected.More particularly, the evidenceof P.W.1, who is an injured person cannot be rejected, since there are noreasons to do so.He would further submit that though P.W.2 has turned hostile,P.Ws.1 and 3 have seen all these appellants together with weapons somewhere nearthe place of occurrence, where the deceased Selvaraj was killed.Therefore,according to the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, the evidence of P.Ws.1and 2 would be sufficient to convict all the appellants in respect of murder ofthe deceased Selvaraj.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would further submit that themedical evidence, of course, does not tally in so far as Accused Nos.3 and 5 areconcerned in respect of the injuries found on the deceased Irulayee.But thesaid infirmity cannot be a ground to reject the entire case of the prosecution.In conclusion, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor would pray forsustaining the findings rendered by the trial court.We have considered the rival contentions and also perused the recordsvery carefully.But, unfortunately, P.W.2, who was examined bythe prosecution as an eyewitness to speak about the involvement of theseappellants in the murder of the deceased Selvaraj has turned hostile and hence,his evidence is of no use at all for the prosecution.The other witness, by nameAsaithambi, who claimed to have seen the occurrence has not been examined.The contention of the learned Additional Public Prosecutor is that theevidence of P.Ws.1 and 2 would be sufficient to hold that the deceased Selvarajshould have been done to death only by these appellants.To examine the saidcontention, we have carefully gone through the sketch and observation mahazar tosatisfy ourselves as to whether P.Ws.1 to 3 could have seen these appellants anywhere near the place where the deceased Selvaraj was killed.In our consideredopinion, the same is not possible, since the distance between the place wherethe deceased Selvaraj was attacked and the place where the deceased Irulayee waskilled is about 350 feet.It is not the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 3 that they sawthese accused coming together or standing together with weapons some where nearthe house of Ravi, i.e. about 350 feet away from the place where the deceasedSelvaraj was attacked.They found all these accused suddenly emerged and startedattacking them.Therefore, we cannot uphold the findings of the trial courtthat the deceased Selvaraj was way laid and killed only by these appellants.In respect of the second occurrence, according to the prosecution, ithappened near the house of one Ravi.P.W.1 is an injured witness.So, hispresence at the place of occurrence can not be doubted.Though P.W.3 claims tobe an eyewitness, we are not convinced that he would have been present at theplace of occurrence.The first reason is that his name is not found in the FirstInformation Report as an eyewitness.We are notdisbelieving the presence of P.W.3 not solely on this ground.According to theprosecution, there were five assailants, all armed with weapons.Had it been true that P.W.3 was present, certainly attempt on thelife of P.W.3 would have been made.But it is not the case that any such attemptwas made on him.This in our considered opinion is strange which impel us todoubt the presence of P.W.3 at the place of occurrence.Thus, the case of the prosecution rests only on the evidence of P.W.1,who is an injured witness.According to her evidence, the deceased Irulayee wasattacked by all the accused with lethal weapons like velstick and aruval.Morespecifically, she has stated that Accused 3 and 5 attacked the deceased Irulayeewith Aruvals indiscriminately and others stabbed her with velsticks.As rightlypointed out by the learned counsel for the appellants, we are not able to seeany cut injury on the deceased Irulayee.Thus, the evidence of P.W.1 in respectof Accused Nos.3 and 5 is not supported by medical evidence.But the medicalevidence contradicts the same.The said contradiction in our considered opinionis material which creates doubt about the involvement of Accused Nos.3 and 5 inthe attack on the deceased Irulayee.The trial court in our consideredopinion was right in holding that Accused Nos.1,2 and 4 had committed the murderof the deceased Irulayee.Even accordingto P.W.1, Accused No.1 alone caused the stab injury on her.Therefore, AccusedNo.1 is surely liable for conviction under Section 307 IPC.However, the accused 2 and 4 are liable to be convictedunder Section 307 readwith 34 IPC.In result, all the appellants are acquitted of charge No.1 underSection 148 IPC and the

+"There were no Lab Assistants available in the CollegeWith respect to the The College building is The College is being run from building and other rented and on non- rented premises.It is situated in physical conforming area.He further raised another legal issue that no sanction was obtained from the Government of NCT of Delhi (GNCT of Delhi), which had appointed the petitioners.Section 197 Cr.P.C. specifically requires that before taking cognizance of any offence, the Court ought to have required the complainant to obtain previous sanction from the GNCT of Delhi.1. Vide the present petitions, the petitioners seek quashing and setting aside the Criminal Complaint No. 21/1/11 titled as ""Aditya College of Pharmacy & Science Vs.S.S. Mantha & Ors."", which was filed by the Crl.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 2 of 31 complainant/respondent No.2 for the offences punishable under Section 420/468/471 read with 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short IPC).2. Also seek setting aside of the order dated 15.01.2011 passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, pursuant to which summons have been issued to the petitioners.Since all the petitioners have challenged the same complaint and the impugned order, therefore, this Court has decided to dispose of all the petitions by a common judgment.The allegations against the petitioners are that they entered into a criminal conspiracy with each other with a view to cheat the complainant and cause harm to the reputation of the College.In furtherance of this intention, the petitioners forged the inspection report and the words NOT RECOMMENDED were added later on.The complainant led the pre- summoning evidence of two witnesses.One of the witnesses, i.e., Mr. Devender Gupta (CW1) is the Founder-cum-Chairperson of the College and other is Mr.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 3 of 31He submitted, past history of the case is that on 21.05.2009, the premises of the Complainant Institute was inspected as a Ist inspection by the above Committee and since the said Committee found deficiencies, therefore, affiliation was denied.The Complainant Institute challenged the Ist inspection report vide W.P.(C) No. 9706/2009, which was dismissed by the learned Single Judge of this Court.The complainant challenged the same by way of LPA No. 384/2009, wherein the Division Bench of this Court directed that a joint inspection to be conducted by the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIP University) as the 2nd inspection.Accordingly, on 20.08.2009, the joint inspection was conducted and same deficiencies, as were in the Ist inspection, were found again.On 25.08.2009, the Complainant Institute had filed objections to the report.As the aforesaid LPA No. 384/2009 was disposed of without granting any relief, thus, the objections of the Complainant Institute were deemed to have been rejected.This was the third inspection.On 27.03.2010, above named retired Judge found that the Complainant Institute was not fit to be run as an educational institute to conduct the B.Pharma Course.Accordingly, this Court while accepting the findings, passed an order dated 05.05.2010 in W.P.(C) No.12724/2009 that students Crl.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 4 of 31 admitted to the roll of the College should be transferred to some other Institute affiliated with the University.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 4 of 31Meanwhile, on 03.01.2009, complainant filed impugned complaint before the learned Magistrate against ten individuals including the petitioners.Vide order dated 14.12.2009, not being satisfied with the pre- summoning evidence led by the complainant, the learned Trial Court directed the local police to investigate the allegations made in the complaint.Accordingly, after investigation, on 13.01.2010 the police filed their report in which they found that no case was made out.Learned senior counsel further submitted that an enquiry was conducted by an officer of the level of Assistant Commissioner of Police.The said ACP, inter alia, recorded the statement of said Dr. Surinder Singh, who was supposed to have admitted to Mr. Devender Gupta over the telephone that the words NOT RECOMMENDED were added later on.He has further stated that ""as far as recording of my voice on telephone, we usually ignore such calls and try to get rid of this as soon as possible.So whatever the conversation has been cited by Mr. Devender Gupta is meaningless and without any substance and allegation"".Thereafter, the local police filed a report on 13.01.2010 with the opinion that no offence was made out.The learned Trial Court allowed the complainant to file the objections against the said report, which objections were in the nature of a protest petition.Accordingly, after perusing the inspection report and the objections, though the LPA was disposed of by this Court vide order dated 01.09.2009, however, no relief was granted to the complainant.Thus, the inspection report has received the imprimatur of this Court.Learned counsel submitted that the allegations of forgery etc. against the inspecting team or any of the officers of the AICTE or the GGSIP University ought to have been raised before the Division Bench of this Court and not by way of a private compliant under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short Cr.P.C.).Learned counsel further submitted that the Complainant Institute was inspected on three different occasions in quick succession.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 8 of 31For the convenience, comparison of the two reports is given below:-No. Ground Considered Findings in the Joint Findings by Justice Mahajan ReportThe latest a congested residential area a 20 infrastructure Lease Agreement made on ft. road.The undersigned was 24th May, 2007, is for a not permitted to carry out period of five year.The Court the Court order, and was Commissioner was unable to not allowed to undertake verify the exact built up area.architect / civil bodies, or for The rooms are not ventilated.the purpose of fire safety and The premises have a narrow Crl.M.C.

Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 11 of 31Tripathi has argued that since findings of all the three inspecting committees were almost identical, the present case is clearly a case of no evidence, therefore, the complaint and the summoning order dated 15.01.2011 deserves to be quashed.He has raised the legal issue that Section 65-B of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 deals with the admissibility of the electronic record.The said provision squarely applies to the present case since the only evidence led by the complainant in his deposition is a so called tape recorded conversation between the Founder-cum-Chairman of the Complainant Institute and one member of the inspecting team.The petitioners can only be removed from their office only after obtaining the sanction of the GNCT of Delhi.The GGSIP University has been created by an Act of the State Legislature of the National Capital Territory of Delhi and the petitioner, Dilip K. Bandopadhyay is employed in connection with the affairs of the said State.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 13 of 31 nor the orders dated 11.03.2010, 26.04, 2010 and 16.08.2010 passed by this Court dismissing the three contempt petitions were filed by the complainant before the learned Metropolitan Magistrate.Such a deliberate suppression of material documents which were available with the complainant tantamounts to committing a fraud on the Trial Court.On the other hand, Mr. Aseem Mehrotra, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant/respondent No.2 submitted that the complainant made out a case for summoning of the petitioners as on 03.08.1999, the College was granted approval by AICTE for starting a B. Pharmacy Degree Course for the session 1999-2000 with 60 admissions.Thereafter, for the sessions 2000-01, 2001-02, 2005-06 and 2006-07, the College was granted extension of approval by AICTE with 30 admissions for each session.Pursuant to order dated 21.02.2007 passed in W.P.(C) No. 13751/2006, this Court directed the University not to insist upon the factors which are covered by AICTE Act or Regulations.Accordingly, the college was granted extension of approval by AICTE for session 2007-08; and University granted provisional affiliation to the College and made 27 admissions to the College.Thereafter, on 19.05.2008, College was granted further extension of approval by AICTE for two years, i.e., session 2008-09 and 2009-10 with 30 admissions.University made admissions of 30 students for the sessions 2008-09 through centralized counseling.Thereafter, in June, 2009, College was inspected by the University and it awarded 335 marks out of 900 towards building and 645 marks out of 1000 towards faculty and infrastructure.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 16 of 31He submitted that the non-grant of admission was subject matter of challenge in W.P. (C) No. 9706/2009, wherein joint inspection was ordered on 20.08.2009, in which the words NOT RECOMMENDEDwere mentioned.Thereafter, Justice C.K. Mahajan ( Retd.) was appointed to carry out the inspection, who submitted his report, which was accepted by this Court and the students were transferred to other College.The complainant filed its complaint on 05.11.2009 with the grievance that the report dated 20.08.2009 was tampered with, in which summons have been issued against the petitioners and other accused persons.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 17 of 31Moreover, the conversation between the Chairman of the College and Prof. P.K. Sahu also shows that the report was written by three persons.The conversation further also shows that the University officials were annoyed with the College.The last paragraph of the conversation with Prof. P.K. Sahu notes that Prof. Sahu says that the Vice-Chancellor was annoyed with the Chairman of the College and being experts they cannot write recommended.He submitted that both the experts do not deny the converstation as under:-""a) That they spoke to the Chairman of the College;b) They do not dispute that the transcript / conversation was not spoken between them and the Chairman of the College;The Appellant filed a writ petition in the High Court challenging the order placing him under suspension and other orders.The challenge Crl.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 21 of 31 in the writ petition was that the Appellant was placed under suspension on account of malafides which he attributed against the Chief Minister.The Appellant in his writ petition referred to various talks between himself and the Chief Minister's wife, which he tape recorded.The writ petition was dismissed by the High Court.While Section 2(xi) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 defines Public Servant to include Vice- Chancellor, Professor, Reader of any University, the definition of Public Servant under Section 21 of IPC does not define Vice-Chancellor or any other employee of University to be a Public Servant, therefore, there is no merit in the instant petitions and they may be dismissed with heavy costs.I have heard learned counsel for the parties.To this effect, the complainant filed the complaint before the Trial Court and vide order dated 15.01.2011, the learned Magistrate issued summons against the petitioners.Earlier for the session 1999-2000, the College was granted approval by AICTE with 60 admissions and thereafter, for the sessions 2000-01, 2001-02, 2005-06 and 2006-07, the College was granted extension of approval by AICTE with 30 admissions for each session.Thereafter, the College was granted extension of approval by AICTE for session 2007-08 and University granted provisional affiliation to the College and accordingly made 27 admissions to the College.On 19.05.2008, the College granted further extension of approval by AICTE for two years, i.e., sessions 2008-09 and 2009-10 with 30 admissions.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 23 of 31The complainant challenged the same vide W.P. (C) No. 9706/ 2009, wherein joint inspection was ordered on 20.08.2009, in which the words NOT RECOMMENDED were added later on.The Complainant Institute challenged the said inspection report vide W.P.(C) No. 9706/2009, which was dismissed by the learned Single Judge of this Court.The complainant challenged the same by way of LPA No. 384/2009, wherein the Division Bench of this Court directed that a joint inspection to be conducted by AICTE and GGSIP University.Accordingly, on 20.08.2009, the joint Crl.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 24 of 31 inspection was conducted and the same deficiencies, as were in the Ist inspection, were found again.On 25.08.2009, the Complainant Institute filed objections to the report.The aforesaid LPA No. 384/2009 was disposed of without granting any relief, thus, the objections of the Complainant Institute were deemed to have been rejected.On 27.03.2010, above named retired Judge found that the Complainant Institute was not fit to be run as an educational institute to conduct B.Pharma Course.Accordingly, this Court while accepting the findings, passed an order dated 05.05.2010 in W.P.(C) No.12724/2009 that students admitted to the roll of the College should be transferred to some other Institute affiliated with the University.Thereafter, the Complainant Institute filed contempt petitions which were dismissed by this Court on different dates as noted above.Meanwhile, on 03.01.2009 complainant filed impugned complaint before the learned Magistrate against ten individuals including the petitioners.Not being satisfied with the pre- summoning evidence led by the complainant, the learned Trial Court vide order dated 14.12.2009 directed the local police to investigate the allegations made in the complaint.Accordingly, after Crl.M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 25 of 31 investigation, on 13.01.2010 the police filed their report in which they found that no case was made out against the petitioners.The said officer recorded the statement of Dr. Surinder Singh, who was supposed to have admitted the conversation with Mr. Devender Gupta over the telephone that the words NOT RECOMMENDED were added later on.Whereas, he categorically stated that final conclusion NOT RECOMMENDED was mentioned before all the members of the Committee.He further submitted that Mr. Devender Gupta had telephonic discussion with him and he never told him that report is tempered because the final conclusion NOT RECOMMENDED was made in the report before all the members signed it.He even stated in his statement that as far as recording of his voice on telephone, they usually ignore such calls and try to get rid of this as soon as possible.So whatever the conversation has been cited by Mr. Devender Gupta, i.e., the complainant is meaningless and without any substance and allegation.Considering the report dated 13.01.2010 filed by the police with the opinion that no offence was made out, the learned Trial Court allowed the complainant to file the objections against the said report.But on perusal of the inspection reports, one joint inspection carried out by AICTE and the University and another by Justice C.K. Mahajan, retired Judge of this Court, one can make out that the Complainant Institute could not be extended any approval.The discrepancies found in two reports have been shown in the comparative chart in para 28 above of this judgment.On perusal of the telephonic conversation between Dr. Surender Singh and Mr. Devender Gupta, the complainant, it seems that the complainant is very friendly with Dr. Surender Singh and Professor P.K.Sahu, members of the Inspection Team.Thus, joint team deviated from the earlier pattern of not having any remarks under the heading of ""Final Recommendation"".M.C. Nos. 3999 & 4037-39 of 2011 Page 29 of 31In the present case, the tape recorded conversation being sought to be led in evidence by the complainant is between the complainant and some third party.Interestingly, subsequently during investigation, the said third party has clarified that there was no forgery and the words NOT RECOMMENDED were written in his presence.No order as to costs.","['Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 465 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hospital, she examined the victim girl aged about 15 years brought by the police as per the Requisition Letter-Ex.P6 in respect of S.C.No.384 of 2007 and on examination, she found the victim girl of a normal physic and in good conscious condition.In the medical certificate-Ex.P8 issued by her, she has stated as follows:- ""Cervix pointing downwards Uterus antiverted smaller than normal size.No discharge per vaginum.Specimen taken Vaginal Smear(2) Vaginal Swab (2) and Hair clipping sent for examination"".The Accident Register issued by her is produced as Ex.The Investigating Officer-P.W.10 further stated that he went to Idaikkal Village on 03.08.2006, prepared a Observation Mahazar-Ex.P12 and Rough Sketch-Ex.P13 of the occurrence spot and examined the witnesses and recorded the statement.Thereafter, he continued his investigation and recorded the statement of the medical examiners and on completion of investigation, filed a final report against the accused.Based on the above materials, the trial Court framed charges as detailed in the judgment of the trial Court and the same was denied by the accused.In order to prove the case, the prosecution examined 10 witnesses and produced 13 documents.No material object was marked.On the defence side, no oral or documentary evidence was produced.None of the witness from the alleged place of occurrence Idaikkal Village has been examined to prove that the said occurrence took place in that Village.The contradiction in the evidence of P.W.2, P.W.3 & P.W.7 about how the victim girl was taken away is also not taken into consideration by the trial Court.The fact of the previous enmity between the family of the complainant and the appellant/accused is not taken into account.There was no other independent witness apart from the interested witnesses, P.W.1 and P.W.3 - parents of the victim girl are examined to prove the case of the prosecution.Hence, the appellant seeks to set aside the conclusion arrived by the trial Court and set him at liberty by allowing this appeal.The fact that the victim girl/P.W.2-Abirami was a minor at the time of occurrence is clearly established by Ex.Even though, P.W.2, the victim girl denied any physical assault on her body by the accused in her cross-examination which was conducted nearly three years after completion of her chief examination, she has categorically stated in her chief examination that while she was on her way to school on 10.07.2006, the accused asked her to come with him and inspite of her refusal, she was induced by him to go along and she was taken to Idaikkal Village near Thenkasi in Tirunelveli District by the accused in a bus.P.W.2-Abirami also stated that on 01.08.2006, the accused took her back to Chennai and on their arrival near Maharani bus stop on 02.08.2006 at about 10.45 hours, she was secured by the police.In her cross-examination, P.W.2 stated that on 10.07.2006, she saw the accused and four other persons, who are unknown to her and she was taken in a Auto rickshaw to Koyambedu bus stand and thereafter she was taken to unknown place and she was away from her home for 20 days.She also stated that she was detained in the same place but she was not physically assaulted by the accused or the other four persons.In her cross examination, she stated as follows: ""vjphpnah kw;w 4 egh;fnsh vd;id cly; hPjpahf vJt[k; bra;atpy;iy/ vd;id vJt[k; bra;atpy;iy/ Tl;o bfhz;L btspapy; tplhky; itj;jpUe;jhh;f;s/ itj;jpUe;jJ cz;ik/ ntW vJt[k; bra;atpy;iy"".She also stated that the accused is her own uncle.The complainant-P.W.1, who is the father of the alleged victim girl deposed that his daughter went missing from 10.07.2006 and he was informed by the respondent police on 02.08.2006 that his daughter has been rescued.Likewise, the mother of the victim girl who deposed as P.W.3 stated that her daughter did not return home from school on 10.07.2006 and inspite of searching in various places, they were not able to find her and subsequently on 02.08.2006, they were informed by the respondent police that the missing girl has been secured along with the accused herein.On such intimation from the respondent police, both P.W.1 and P.W.3 went to the police station and met their daughter.The Investigating Officer/PW-10 stated that after registering the FIR on 11.07.2006, he proceeded with the investigation and subsequently on 02.08.2006 secured the victim girl along with the accused herein at 10.45 a.m. near Maharani Bus Stop, T.H. Road, Chennai.Thus, P.W.2 stated that the accused is her uncle and neither the accused nor the four other persons have done any harm to her body and admitted that she has been detained by them in an unknown place.It is therefore clear, that the victim girl was away from her home and she was detained in an unknown place.In such circumstances, even though no one has been examined from Idaikkal Village to prove the said allegation, but the fact that the victim girl has been detained in an unknown place against her will is clearly established by PW2 evidence .Further, it is also clear that the accused took away PW2 from the lawful custody of her parents without their knowledge and against the wish of the minor victim girl.However, there is nothing on record to show that the accused took away PW2 to force her to have illicit intercourse with him and other persons.Hence, no offence under Section 366A IPC is made out on him by the trial Court.However, in view of wrongful confinement of the minor victim girl after taking her away from her parents, the accused is guilty of the offence punishable under Section 365 IPC, instead of 366A IPC.According to the prosecution, the accused had intercourse with the minor victim girl forcibly against her will.While, the alleged victim/P.W.2 stated in her chief-examination, that the accused had physical intercourse with her five times and detained her in the said occurrence spot, in contrast, in in her cross-examination, PW2, the victim girl stated that she was detained in a place by the accused and four others.Further, in her cross examination, PW2 categorically stated that no physical harm was done to her.She denied any physical relationship with the accused.In such circumstances, a doubt arises as to whether really the victim girl was physically abused by the accused as claimed by the prosecution.The alleged victim girl in her chief-examination stated that she was taken by the accused herein to the Idaikkal Village by bus and kept in a house belonging to the accused friend from 11.07.2006 and there the accused had physical relationship with her five times, after threatening her with dire consequences.Thereafter on 01.08.2006, when she pleaded with the accused, he took her to Chennai and on next day morning i.e. 02.08.2006, while they were getting down at Maharani Bus Stop, the police secured them.However, in cross-examination, P.W.2 stated that she was taken in a Auto to Koyambedu bus stand by the accused and four other persons and she was taken to unknown place and she did not remember the name of the place.She also stated that she was away from her home for 20 days and in spite of her request, the accused kept her in the same place and subsequently she was secured from that place on 02.08.2006 by the police.Further, the victim P.W.2 categorically stated that the accused is her uncle and no one had done any physical harm to her.Thus, P.W.2 contradicts her own version in the chief by stating that she was only detained in a unknown place and no physical harm was done to her.Thus, as rightly pointed out by the learned counsel for the accused, PW2 is giving different versions in her evidence about the occurrence and as such her evidence lacks credibility.In such circumstances, the learned counsel appearing for the appellant contended that P.W.2 is not a reliable witness and she is giving contradictory statements only because no occurrence as alleged by the prosecution took place in reality.Thus, in the light of the above said discussion, this Court is of the view that PW2 evidence cannot be treated as reliable one in the absence of any corroboration.Further, P.W.2 in her evidence also admitted that she was taken to the Doctor for medical examination.PW7-the Doctor, who examined the victim girl stated that the private parts of the victim girl was normal and no injury was found over the same.P.W.7 further stated that the hymen was toned and due to that the victim girl seems to have been raped.However, P.W.7 also stated that the victim girl informed her about being taken away by her cousin sister's husband (accused herein) and four other persons and she was detained in a house for two weeks.It is also stated by P.W.7 that the victim girl told her that she was raped five times.As stated above, according to the medical evidence no external injury is found and it also admitted by P.W.7 due to cycling, there is a possibility of hymen being toned.Thus, while PW7 has deposed about PW2 informing him about the physical assault on her by the accused, the same cannot be accepted as PW2 herself has given contradictory evidence as stated earlier.Further, on medical side also PW7 evidence is not categorical about the victim girl PW2 being physically abused as alleged by the prosecution.The learned counsel appearing for the appellant further contended that if the victim girl was forced to have physical relation against her will forcibly, she would have suffered physical injury but in the case on hand PW2 has not suffered any external injury as per medical expert-PW7 evidence.Pointing it out the appellant contends that the finding of the trial Court, that the victim girl PW2 was raped by the accused is unsustainable.In such circumstances, taking into consideration the fact, that the victim girl herself has denied any act of rape by the accused and in the absence of any external injuries found on her body and the fact that the victim girl has stated totally different versions about being raped in contrast to what was told by her to PW7 that the accused as well as four other persons raped her, this Court finds that the case of the prosecution that the victim girl was raped by the accused is unsustainable, as the said allegations is not proved beyond reasonable doubt.Admittedly, the victim girl was aged about 14 years at the time of the alleged occurrence.It is evident from her deposition that she was taken away on inducement by the accused from the custody of her parents.It is also clear from her evidence that she was detained in unknown place against her wish.The victim girl has stated before P.W.7-Doctor and also in her cross-examination that she was taken by the accused and four other persons and detained in another place.It is thus clearly established that PW2 was taken away from the lawful custody of her parents without their consent and knowledge.The learned counsel appearing for the appellant contended that the prosecution has not investigated about the other persons allegedly associated with the sole accused herein, but lodged the charge sheet only against the only accused herein and that itself will create doubt about the alleged occurrence.However, the victim girl has categorically stated that the accused was present on the occurrence date and she was asked by him to go along and the accused gave assurance that he will inform her father about the same and as she went with him, she was subsequently detained by him, in spite of her request to let her go.It is apparently clear from the evidence of the victim girl, that she was taken away by the accused and detained by him at a place away from her natural guardian against her wish.It is therefore clear, that the said act of the accused will only attract the offence under Section 365 IPC and not the offence under Section 366A IPC, under which the trial Court has found him guilty.There is nothing on record to show that the accused took away the victim girl and she had been forced or seduced to illicit intercourse with another person.In such circumstances, as the victim girl was taken away on inducement by the accused from the lawful custody of the natural guardian and detained in another place for more than 20 days, the accused is liable to be punished under Sections 344 & 365 IPC instead of 366A IPC as held by the trial Court.It is contended by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant that due to personal and family enmity, false complaint is lodged against the accused.However, P.W.3, the mother of the victim girl stated that her sister converted into another religion and due to that, she did not attend the marriage of the accused, but whenever the accused visits the victim girl's grand-mother home, he used to talk with the victim girl.P.W.2 also stated that there is no property dispute between her parents and the accused, because her parents have no property at all.Similarly, the alleged victim girl stated that the accused is her uncle, and he is now married and having a child.P.W.2 further stated that the accused used to visit her grand-mother home, which is adjacent to her house and used to give her sweets, which she will receive without the knowledge of her father.It is also seen from the evidence of P.W.1 that his mother-in-law's home is adjacent to his house and the accused used to visit his mother-in-law's home.P.W.1 also admits that his wife and his daughter knew the accused and they used to talk whenever the accused visits his mother-in-law's home.Thus, it is clear from the above said evidence that the accused used to meet the victim girl and her mother in the adjacent house of the complainant and the prosecution has not let in any evidence to prove any enmity on the ground of the property dispute between the accused and the complainant.In such circumstances, the contention of the learned counsel appearing for the appellant / accused, that the complainant has falsely lodged a complaint due to family dispute is unsustainable.The learned counsel for the appellant also pointed out that PW5 and PW9, the alleged witnesses to the confession statement given by the accused have turned hostile and failed to support the prosecution.Further, it is also pointed out that in Ex.The same is admitted by PW1-the complainant and PW10-the Investigation Officer of the case.Further, it is also pointed out that in the endorsement made by the Sub-Inspector of Police in Ex.P1 Complaint also similar correction is found.This according to the appellant occurred only because false complaint was lodged against the accused.In the result, the appeal is partly allowed in the following terms:(a).Further, the conviction under Section 366A is modified into under Section 365 IPC and thereby, the fine amount Rs.10,000/- imposed by the trial court found sufficient.In view of the conviction under Section 376(1) IPC is set aside, the fine amount Rs.10,000/- imposed on the appellant/accused is directed to be refunded.Connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.23.02.2017Internet

Ka-36).On 4.4.1999 he had recorded the statement of inquest witnesses.1999 at the instance of the complainant he recorded the statements as of eye witnesses.Suresh Kumar Singh alias Jajjey Singh claimed for his identification under Section 54-A Cr.P.C. The application was opposed by the prosecution and the same was rejected.Thereafter by the order of the High Court dated 15.6.1999 the case was again transferred to C.B.C.I.D.. On 8.10.1999 Rakesh Kumar Pandey had informed that his uncle-in-law that some verbal altercation regard to P.W.D. contracts.He recorded the statement of the accused and witnesses and the police officers who conducted the investigation.He filed the charge sheet (Ext.Ka-38).He arrested Ashok Kumar Singh alias Babloo Singh and Suresh Kumar Singh son of Shambhu Singh.The factory made Rifle No. AB 973648 alongwith magazine containing four live cartridges were recovered from the possession of Ashok Kumar Singh (Ext.

Ka-14 to Ka-22) were recovered.Case under Section 25 Arms Act and 41/411 I.P.C. was registered as case crime No. 126/127 of 1999 against them.On 13.5.1999 he started investigation of the case.The earlier investigating officer had already submitted the charge sheet.He had received the ballistic expert's report on 25.5.1999 and recovered Rifle from the possession of the accused.Thereafter, the case was transferred to C.B.C.I.D.P.W. 17 Devendra Kumar Singh, is the Incharge, S.O. District Sonbhadra.He stated that in the year 1999 he was posted as S.H.O. Marihau.He arrested Ashok Kumar Singh alias Babloo Singh alongwith the Rifle and he also arrested Suresh Kumar Singh and recovered one Carbine US 30 alongwith magazine.P.W. 18 Jagdish Chand Shukla is constable at police station Gopiganj.He stated that on 13.10.1998 he was posted as constable Moharrir at police station Gopiganj.The defence had examined D.W. 1 Pankaj Kumar Dwivedi.He is president of Vindhyachal Panda Samaj, Vindhyachal.The temple is looked after by this Vinchyachal Panda Samaj and Vindhyachal Vikas Parishad.The temple is opened at 4 a.m. for 'Shringar' and it take about one hour and at this time the temple remain closed for 'darshan'.The doors of the temple open at 5 a.m. for the worship.Thereafter the doors are closed at 12 O'clock for the 'Shringar"" etc. Again the temple is opened for worship at 1.30 p.m. During this period nobody is allowed to enter into the temple.During the days of Navratri, the doors close at 12 O'clock and open at 1 p.m. for 9 days only.In the cross examination he stated that the President of Vindhyachal Panda Samaj is appointed for two years.Anil Kumar Dubey remained President for 14 years.The rules which are prepared by the Panda Samaj are given to the district Magistrate and approved by him also.There are two doors for the worship in the temple.S.P. who recorded the same gave evidence about the same.The investigating officer had recorded his statement on 4.4.1999 as a witness of inquest report but if the first information report was available then why his 161 Cr.P.C. statement was not recorded same day.We have carefully examined the above submissions.The testimony of P.W. 2 Uma Shanker Pandey shows that he had registered the first information report at case crime No. 177 of 1999 Ext. Ka-2).He had also prepared the G.D. No. 34 at 3.45 p.m. on 4.4.1999 ( Ext. Ka-3).Special report was dispatched through constable Udhao Singh.He copied the chik report and reached at the place of occurrence and recorded the statement of complainant and S.I. Rasheed Ahmad, prepared the inquest reports of Surya Narain Shukla alias Vakil Shukla, Devi Shanker Dubey and Shesh Mani Rai, on his dictation.On the same day he prepared the site plan, recorded the statements of witnesses prepared recovery memos of plain and blood stained earth, Raxine of the car etc.The eye witnesses are mentioned in his statement.Prior to reaching at the place of occurrence Chik F.I.R. was with the Investigating Officer.There is overwhelming evidence to prove that the F.I.R. was registered at the alleged time.There is direct testimony of P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari to prove that informant (Rakesh Kumar Pandey) had prepared the first information report 40 steps away from the place of occurrence and at that time thousand of persons had collected near the dead body.The G.D. Ext. Ka-3 shows that informant and P.W. 4 had come to the police station and their injuries are also mentioned in the G.D. The enclosures which were sent alongwith the inquest report shows that chik was also sent alongwith the inquest report.The testimony of P.W. 9 Devi Prasad Pandey shows that he had escorted the dead body to the mortuary for the post mortem examination.He stated that dead bodies were handed over to him at 6.30 or 7 p.m. and he was given a copy of the F.I.R. and other papers for the post mortem.His testimony remained unchallenged.The first information report shows the seal and signature of the doctor who had received the papers alongwith the dead bodies for the post mortem examination.One more important circumstance is that the post mortem examinations was conducted same nigh on the direction of the District Magistrate.In our view the first information report is registered at the alleged time and it is promptly lodged.The occurrence took place at 3 p.m. and written report is lodged at 3.45 p.m. The distance of the police station from the place of occurrence is one km. It is significant to mention that criminal courts attach great importance to the prompt lodging of the report because the same substantially eliminate the possibility of embellishments and concoction creeping in the prosecution story.The other submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that according to the prosecution case first information report was registered at 3.45 p.m. and both the injured, namely, Rakesh Kumar Pandey and P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey were sent for medical examination through constable Nathuni Lal but there is long gap between the medical examination of P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey and complainant Rakesh Kumar Pandey.P.W. 6 Dr. A.K. Pandey had examined Prem Shanker Dubey on 4.4.1999 at 5.25 p.m. whereas Rakesh Kumar Pandey, complainant was examined by P.W. 7 Dr. L.S. Mishra at 8.15 p.m. both the injured were brought to the P.H.C. by constable Nathuni Lal who has not been examined in the case.The counsel for the appellant submits that this delay is due to the fact that the informant did not receive any injury in the occurrence and he was called after the occurrence and thereafter his injuries were manufactured and Dr. L.S. Misra was not on duty on the said date and he was deliberately called to examine the complainant and manufactured his injuries.The injury report suggests that injuries of P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey were bleeding therefore, he immediately went for medical examination.The presence of informant is proved at the time of occurrence.He had signed all the inquest reports as an inquest witness.His statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. was recorded by the investigating officer.P.W. 13 V.P. Misra prior to preparation of inquest reports.The dead bodies were dispatched at 6.30 - 7 p.m. Thereafter informant was medically examined by the doctor.There cannot be any doubt that his injuries are manufactured by the doctor and he was not present at the time of occurrence.This submission has no force and is rejected.Another submission of the learned counsel for the appellant is that if the F.I.R. was in existence at the alleged time and the names of the eye witnesses were known to the investigating officer then why the statement of eye witnesses was recorded next day.It is further submitted that the investigating officer had recorded the statement of P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari as a witness of inquest and his statement was not recorded as an eye witness.He was available on the same day.It is further submitted that P. W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari stated that he told about the occurrence to the investigating officer but P.W. 13 V.P. Mishra states that he did not disclose about the occurrence same day.If the first information report was available and his name finds place as an eye witness then his statement should have been recorded by the investigating officer.We have considered the submission of the counsel.In the instant case the occurrence took place on a busy G.T. Road at 3 p.m. and the report of the occurrence was lodged at 3.45 p.m. Thereafter the investigating officer had copied the chik, recorded the statement of informant, thereafter he prepared the inquest proceeding of three dead bodies.He also recorded the statements of inquest witnesses.There was also urgency in the post mortem which was conducted same night on the direction of the District Magistrate and the statements of these witnesses have been recorded next day.It is not disputed that prior to the preparation of inquest reports, statement of informant was recorded, Chik F.I.R. was also available with the investigating officer which was also dispatched as an enclosure No. 2 with the inquest report for the post mortem alongwith the dead bodies.There is no force in this submission that only on account of delay in recording of 161 Cr.P.C. statement on the next day it can be said that the F.I.R. was not in existence and P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey and P.W. 5 Ram Dutt Mishra were not eye witnesses.We reject this submission of learned counsel for the appellants.The F.I.R. was registered at the alleged time chithi mazroobi of the informant and injured P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dube was prepared and chik and F.I.R. was handed over to the investigating officer who had recorded 161 Cr.P.C. statement of informant Rakesh Kumar Pandey and completed the inquest reports of the dead bodies and other formalities with regard to investigation.There is no such delay in recording of 161 Cr.P.C. statement to caste any doubt that these witnesses are got up witnesses.Next submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari and P.W. 5 Ram Dutt Mishra are chance and partisan witnesses and their testimonies should be rejected.There can be no doubt that P.W. 1 and P.W. 2 can be said to be chance witnesses.Their residences are a furlong or two away from the scene of occurrence.The story of P.W. 1 that he closed the shop earlier than usual is difficult to believe because he does not assign any reason for so doing.The allegation that respondent Chander Mohan's complaint was first in point of time but was registered later cannot be lightly brushed aside.It is also surprising that P.W. 1 preferred to write down the complaint on the spot rather than run down 100 paces to the police station to inform the police.P.W. 1 was asked to explain this conduct and he stated that he preferred to write down the complaint ""as I had doubt that the police will not pay any heed and will not take down the report correctly.There was no reason for P.W. 1 to entertain such a doubt.He does not say that he had any such experience in the past.Both the deceased had a criminal record and were history sheeters.Several complaints were pending against Ram Shanker.He must be having many enemies.The defence case is that some of their common enemies got together and killed them and P.W. 1 was not present but who came later filed the report on the basis of the morning incident.Be that as it may, the fact, remains that the genesis of the crime is suppressed and no witness from the locality whose presence would be natural is examined which creates a doubt regarding the truth of the prosecution version.As to the presence of P.Ws. 4 and 5 at the time and place of occurrence the trial court entertained grave doubts.If by coincidence or chance a person happens to be at the place of occurrence at the time it is taking place, he is called a chance witness.And if such a person happens to be a relative or friend of the victim or inimically disposed towards the accused then his being a chance witness is viewed with suspicion.Such a piece of evidence is not necessarily incredible or unbelievable but does required cautious and close scrutiny.In the instant case, P.W.s 4 and 5 were agnatic relations of the deceased, one of them a close one.The reason given by them for being at the place of occurrence did not appear to be true to the trial court.There was not any compelling or sufficient reason for the High Court to differ from the evaluation of the evidence of the two chance witnesses.It may well be as remarked by the High Court that the respondent was also their collateral but they appeared to be partisan witnesses on the side of the prosecution and hence their testimony was viewed with suspicion by the trial judge.We find from the judgment of the Sessions Court that P.W. 2 admitted that there are two rival factions and he filed an application against the accused in the year 1976 for binding over them and consequently proceedings were launched against the accused and that there were certain other instances which would show that P.W. 2 was inimical towards the accused.Further, there is some force in the submission of the learned counsel for the appellant that P.W. 2 appears to be a chance witness.He deposed that he went to this particular field which is away from his house to answer the call of nature.On his being a chance witness it is necessary have a closer scrutiny of his evidence.Coming to the medical evidence of P.W. 2 is to the effect that all the other four accused dealt blows with sticks.It is pointed out in number of cases by this court when the case rests on the sole testimony of the single witness, the same should be wholly reliable.We find in the instant case that P.W. 2 is not only an interested witness but the version given by him is highly doubtful apart from the fact he being a chance witness.If we do so then we notice that on the date of incident he had gone to a village Upli for some work.From there he came back by bus at about 11 'O clock.He then allegedly went to the village to meet Ram Rakh where he was told by his wife that the latter had gone to the field.It is the prosecution case itself that the distance between the field of Ram Rakh and the village is about 4-5 miles and P.W. 6 covered that distance on foot and when he reached near the field of Ram Rakh he heard a quarrel and when he went towards the place of quarrel he saw the appellant attack the deceased with an axe.It is his further case that when he reached near the deceased the appellant ran away.It is at this point of time he states that he got scared and he took a different route than the one he took on the way and reached the village at about 4 or 4.15 p.m. It is his case that when he went to the house of Ram Rakh he could not find him therefore he came near the village square where he met P.W. 2 Khyali Ram.From the above evidence of P.W. 6 it is apparent that though there were persons available on his way back, he did not inform anybody about the incident.Even when he reached the village and met Ram Rakh's wife he did not inform her about the incident and it is for the first time he informs about this incident to P.W. 2 at the village square at about 4.15 p.m. Contrary to what he stated in the examination-in-chief that he saw only one assault on the deceased, in the cross examination he stated that he saw the appellant attack the deceased twice and both the injuries were caused in his presence.The prosecution has not found how P.W. 14 came to know of the incident.In this background if we appreciate the evidence of P.W. 6 we notice the fact that he is purely a chance witness whose presence at the place of the incident is highly doubtful.His conduct too seems to be unnatural in not informing anyone else in the village until he met Khyali Ram at the village square.Though the distance is about 30 miles from the place of incident, the complainant had the facility of using the tractors available in the village and they did use the same for travelling to the police station.In such circumstances this unexplained long delay also creates a doubt in our mind as to the genuineness of the prosecution case.The judgment and order of conviction of the two courts below are set aside.The appellant is acquitted of the charge framed against him.In the present case the evidence of P.W.1 shows that on 4.4.1999 he was coming from Vindhyachal and when he reached at the Trisection of G.T. Road Gopiganj he heard some shots.Me was accompanied by Mukund Lal and Ram Dutt Mishra.5 ram Dutt Mishra also stated that he was returning from Vindhyachal and on his way back home he met Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari and he had taken lift on his motorcycle and he reached at the Trisection alongwith them.The occurrence took place on the G.T. Road.The testimonies of both the witnesses show that they had probablise their presence at the alleged place of occurrence.It is further submitted by learned counsel for the appellants that both the witnesses are partisan.It is suggested that both of them are deposing falsely only at the instance of Vijay Mishra M.L.As There is nothing on record to suggest that Vijay Mishra was instrumental in procuring these witnesses apart from the vague suggestion there is nothing on record to hold that these witnesses are deposing against the appellants on account of the influence of Vijay Mishra.Even it is not suggested to the witnesses that Vijai Misra was present at the place of occurrence or at the police station.The evidence of a. witness who is alleged to be a partisan or chance witness cannot be rejected solely on that ground and the law requires only a closer scrutiny of his testimony.We have carefully examined the testimonies of the witnesses The evidence of P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari shows that on 4.4.199 at about 3 p.m. he was present on the Trimuhani of G.T. road.He was coming from Vindhyachal alongwith Mukund Lal and P.W. 5 Ram Dutt Mishra on a motorcycle.His evidence shows that accused persons were armed with Gun, Rifles, 30 Carbine and Pistols and were firing at Ambassador car of Vakil Shukla, deceased.Shesh Marti deceased was driving the car and it collided with a roadway bus coming from Allahabad.Tehsildar Singh had exhorted to kill and the assailants came near the car and started firing.Rakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey were sitting on the back seat of the car.They came out of the car leaving the Rifle of Prem Shanker Dubey in the car which was taken away by Suresh Kumar Singh alias Jajjey Singh.They killed Vakil Shukla, Devi Shanker Dubey and Shesh Mani Rai inside the car.Thereafter they ran away in their Sumo and other vehicles.The motive as alleged is that there was some disputp with regard to contract work and Vakil Shukla shad also contested election of Zila Panchayat against Akbal Bahadur alias Atkoti Singh.The Rifle and Pistol of Vakil Shukla was left in the car.The first information report was lodged by Rakesh Kumar Pandey at 3.45 p.m. He identified the report which was written by Rakesh Kumar Pandey.The investigating officer had prepared the inquest reports of the deceased and he had also signed the same.His statement was recorded on the next day of the occurrence.We have carefully examined the evidence of this witness and in our opinion it is reliable and credible.His testimony is corroborated by the post mortem examination and also by the testimony of the investigating officer which clearly indicates that the deceased were done to death inside the car.The investigating officer had collected blood stained Raxine, shoes, broken pieces of car, empty cartridges and one Rifle and pistol of 9 mm of Surya Narain Shukla and prepared its recovery memo (Ext. Ka-26 to Ka-32).There is no dispute about the identity of the assailants as the occurrence took place in broad day light.The statement of this witness also shows that complainant Rakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey had received injuries while they were coming out of the car.G.D. entry Ext. Ka-3) shows that complainant Rakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey had received injuries and P.W. 2 Uma Shanker Pandey had prepared the 'chithi majroobi' and P.W. 7 Dr. L.S. Misra had medically examined Rakesh Kumar Pandey on 4.4.1994 at 8 15 p.m. and P.W. 6 Dr. A.K. Pandey had medically examined Prem Shanker Dubey on 4.4.1999 at 5.25 p.m. The counsel for the appellants submits that he is close associate of Vakil Shukla and he was also involved in a case of Arms Act alongwith him and he had started doing pairvi of this case after the death of informant.His testimony should be rejected on this ground.He did not avoid any uncomfortable question.He was subjected to extensive cross examination but nothing substantial could be extracted there from which could render either his presence at the place of incident or credibility suspect.His evidence shows that he has fully mentioned the essential features of the prosecution including time and place and of the incident, name of the assailants, names of the victims, manner of assault, name of the informant and motive for the murder.We have no hesitation after careful scrutiny of the evidence to place implicit reliance on his testimony.Another eye witness P.W. 5 is Ram Dutt Misra, His evidence, shows that on the date of occurrence at about 3 p.m. he was coming alongwith P.W. 1 Dangar Tewari from Vindhyachal.He stated that in the Ambassador Car of Vakil Shukla, Devi Shanker Dubey was sitting on the front seat and Shes",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ Gun, Pistol and Carbine.Tehsildar Singh was giving exhortation to kill them.The Ambassador Car collided with a Bus which was going towards Varanasi.After the accident Kakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey came out of the Car and while! they were coming out of the car they received some minor injury.The Rifle of Prem Shanker Dubey left in the car.Thereafter accused had surrounded the car and started indiscriminate firing as a result of which Vakil Shukla Devi shanker Dubey and Shesh Mani Rai died.One of the accused took away the Rifle of Prem Shanker Dubey and all the accused persons were raising slogan Har Har Mahadeo and thereafter they ran away in their Muruti, Motorcycle and on other vehicles towards Aural.His statement was also recorded by the investigating officer.He was also subjected to extensive cross examination but nothing substantial could be extracted there from.In our opinion he has fully explained his presence on the spot and there is nothing to suspect his credibility.He has no rancor or ill will against the appellants and in our opinion in the absence of the same he would not falsely implicated the accused.The court should be slow to act on the testimony of such a witness and normally, it should look for corroboration to his evidence.In the light of the above, we have carefully examined his testimony.He admitted that on the alleged date of occurrence he was sitting on the back seat of the car and he had a licensee Rifle alongwith him.He had admitted that when the car stopped he came out of the car and while doing so he received some injuries also.He does not remember whether his injuries were medically examined or not.He does not remember that Rakesh Kumar Pandey was also sitting with him.The testimony shows that he was present in the car alongwith his Rifle.His presence at the police station at the time of lodging of the report is mentioned in G.D. ( Ext. Ka-3) and he was medically examined by P.W. 6 Dr. A.K. Pandey who had examined him on 4.4.1999 at 5.25 p.m. and found two lacerated wounds.His testimony corroborates the version given by the two other eye witnesses.Both the witnesses have stated that Prem Shanker Dubey was sitting on the back seat and while he was coming out of the car he received injuries and his licensee Rifle was left in the car which was taken away by one of the accused.Thus the eye witness account of the case is fully supported by the investigation and the medical evidence on record.The post mortem reports of the deceased persons clearly indicate that all of them had received fire arm injuries from a close range and the place of occurrence is inside the car which is supported by the recoveries (Ext. Ka-26 to Ka-32).The investigating officer has also found dent in the car due to indiscriminate firing by the accused persons and he also made recovery of empty shells.The serologist report also confirms the presence of human blood on the Raxine.Learned counsel for the appellants challenged the findings of the trial court on the ground that participation of 14 persons is doubtful as the medical evidence does not corroborate this part of the evidence that assailants were 14 in number and they have indiscriminately fired.The case of the prosecution is that all the witnesses had witnessed that the assailants were chasing the car and were also firing at the car.The occurrence took place on a busy G.T. road.It is also mentioned that all the accused were firing.Large number of firing is corroborated by the twenty eight pellet marks mentioned by the investigating officer on the ear and it is also mentioned that only some of the pellets could be recovered.It is also noteworthy that the deceased and witnesses who were accompanying them were also armed.In view of this it cannot be said that large number of persons had not participated in the occurrence and this submission has no force.Learned counsel for the appellants had also submitted that one of the appellant Suresh Singh alias Jajjey Singh had moved an application for identification which was rejected on 11.6.1999 by the Magistrate, Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that Suresh Singly alias Jajjdy Singh, were not known to the witnesses prior to the occurrence, therefore, he moved an application for his identification.P.W. 5 did not mention anything about the theft of the Rifle, therefore, he was acquitted of this charge.The State has also not filed any appeal against their acquittal.Tehsildar Singh has been acquitted by the Sessions Judge also on the ground that his role was only of exhortation and there was some contradictions with regard to his place from where he has exhorted and the actual time of his exhortation.In view of this the names of Pintoo Singh alias Sandeep Singh Daroga Singh alias Shri Krishna Singh," Chhunni Singh alias Mata Prasad Singh and Prem Singh alias Prem Bahadur Singh have been disclosed by P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari for the first time in the court and as such absolute reliance cannot be placed on his statement.""","['Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 427 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 394 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 308 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No.237/2004 dated 30.06.2005, whereby awarding the punishment of “Compulsory Retirement”http://www.judis.nic.in to the petitioner.The petitioner also sought a direction to the Page No.1 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 respondents to reinstate him with continuity of service and back wages together with all attendant benefits.Page No.1 of 8The case of the petitioner is that he, while in service, is said to have involved in a case of rape, alleging that he, having promised to marry a school going girl, married her relative without marrying the victim girl and based on the complaint given by the victim girl, a criminal case has been initiated, apart from initiation of departmental proceedings.It is further case of the petitioner that the criminal case foisted against the petitioner under Sections 417, 376 and 506(ii) IPC in Crime No.38 of 2004 on the file of All Women Police Station, Vellore, ended in acquittal, whereas in the departmental proceedings, he was awarded the punishment of Compulsory Retirement, despite his acquittal in the criminal case and the witnesses including the complainant turning hostile.It is also the case of the petitioner that he already married his relative on 10.09.2004 and that there is no iota of evidence to establish the charges under the Domestic Enquiry.The punishment imposed in the departmental enquiry was based on the contradictory statement made before the criminal Court and the order of compulsory retirement was issued on 30.06.2005 by the 2nd respondent, which has been confirmed by the 3rd respondent on 23.09.2005 on the erroneous ground, which need to be interfered with.It is stated that even assuming that the charges are established, the order of compulsory retirement is very harsh and this Court has to mould the relief and grant the relief, as the petitionerhttp://www.judis.nic.in Page No.2 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 was acquitted in the criminal case.Page No.2 of 8The 2nd respondent has filed a counter affidavit, stating that the petitioner was recruited as Police Constable on 09.06.1993 and that there were two complaints dated 14.09.2004 and 15.09.2004 lodged by one Kanthalakshmi (hereinafter referred to as 'the Victim Girl') and her mother respectively, alleging that the petitioner, under the pretext of marrying the Victim Girl, who was aged 17 years, took her to his house and had a sexual intercourse with her and later, instead of marrying her, married some other lady on 10.09.2004, that too while on medical leave in a hurried manner.It is further stated that a detailed enquiry has been conducted, apart from registering a criminal case in Crime No.38 of 2004 under various provisions of IPC stated supra and based on the complaint of the Victim Girl, departmental proceedings under Rule 3(b) of Tamil Nadu Police Subordinate Service (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1955 was also simultaneously taken.It is narrated in the counter affidavit that in the enquiry, it was proved that the petitioner used to pick up the Victim Girl from her house frequently and the other charge that he committed rape on her, has not been proved, whereas the charges levelled against him that he married his relative's girl while on medical leave on 10.09.2004 and he involved in a criminal case, have been duly proved.An enquiry report was submitted to the Disciplinary Authority and the Disciplinary Authority disagreed with the findings of the 1st respondent in respect of Charge No.1, while agreeing with other findings.Page No.3 of 8In the counter affidavit, it is described that the fact that the petitioner was moving with the Victim Girl was duly established and the act of the petitioner had totally spoiled the image of Police Force, which attracts Rule 23 of Tamil Nadu Subordinate Police Officers Conduct Rules, 1964 and if the petitioner is really innocent, there was no reason to marry his relative while on medical leave, after having promised to marry the Victim Girl and the said Victim Girl, in the departmental proceedings categorically stated that both the petitioner and she were moving voluntarily and he, under the pretext of going to temple, took her away from her house and had sexual intercourse with her under coercion and threat and later, betrayed her.It is further narrated in the counter affidavit that the mother of the victim girl deposed in the enquiry that she was informed by her daughter's teacher that her daughter confessed to her that she was raped by the petitioner and P.W.3, a colleague of the petitioner also deposed that he had seen the petitioner and the Victim Girl in front of his house in the Armed Reserve Quarters, where outsiders are prohibited and therefore, there is a convincing evidence about the close relationship between the petitioner and the Victim Girl, who has no business to visit the quarters of the petitioner andhttp://www.judis.nic.in Page No.4 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 since the preponderance of his guilt has been proved, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed.Page No.4 of 84. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material documents available on recordThe Appellate Authority rightly came to the conclusion that the Victim Girl was a minor and the petitioner has, not only spoiled the life of the Victim Girl, but also the image of Police Force for his sexual lust and in order to get rid of the problem, he applied for Medical Leave and during that period, he suddenly married another girl.Several witnesses have given categorical evidence against the petitioner, which has been duly taken note of by the Appellate Authority and rightly upheld the order of the 2nd respondent, which, in the considered opinion of this Court does not warrant any interference by this Court.Page No.5 of 8Accordingly, finding no merits in the argument put forth on the side of the petitioner, the Writ Petition is dismissed.","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 417 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

D. Doongaji (PW1)was the General Secretary of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust apartfrom his, being a Legal Adviser to Tatas in their ShareDepartment; on and from November 6, 1964, he after beingelected, was working as a Chairman of the Managing Committeeof the Society.One K. N. Singh, Advocate (PW12) wasworking as the figure-head Secretary of the Society.TheSociety had a Bank account with Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank Ltd., which was operated jointly by Doongaji(PWI) and K. N. Singh (P.W. 12).One B. A. Sagar (PW2) wasworking as the Estate Manager of the Society from April 1,1967 and he retired due to old age with effect from December31, 1969, where after one Mathew Figrado (PW7) worked asEstate Manager.As Estate Manager, Sagar's duties were tocollect the monthly compensation at the rate of Rs. 100/-from each flat-bolder of the Society, to look after themaintenance of the-said building, to undertake-the repairsafter obtaining the oral sanction of the managing committeeand incur expenditure therefor either from the collection ofcompensation or from his own pocket, to draw his own salaryand the salary of the staff of the Society from suchcollections, and to hand over the balance to the HonoraryAccountant of the Society together with a statement 'ofaccount and vouchers, in respect of sundry expensesincurred.However, he was not allowed to spend more thanRs. 100/- at a time for carrying out the repairs to thebuilding.The appellant-accused,- who was working asAccounts Clerk in Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, was appointed byDoongaji (PWI) as an Honorary Accountant of the Society inMay 1966 and he worked in that capacity for the Society tillJuly 1, 1970 when his services were dispensed with.As anHonorary Accountant of the Society his duties inter aliawere to write and maintain the books of accounts (Cash-Book,ledger, journal and the voucher file), to receive amounts ofcompensation collected by the Estate Manager from themembers ,of the Society, to reimburse the Estate Manager bycheques for sundry expenses which the latter may haveincurred, to pay the municipal4 8 2taxes and to make other payments of bills again by chequesonly and that too after verifying from the minute book thatsuch payments had been sanctioned by the managing committeeof the Society and also to make payments by cheques onlyagainst the vouchers after satisfying himself about thegenuineness of the vouchers.According to the prosecutionin the month of December 1969 a proprietary firm M/s A. G.R. Patni & Co. had carried out a small job of clearing achoked pipe line of the storage tank of the Society and hadsubmitted its bill No. 49 dated December 14, 1969 for Rs.7.50 (Exh. 5 Colly.).It was received by Sagar (PW2) and wasordinarily required to be paid by him but it appears thatsince he was retiring at the end of December, 1969, he didnot disburse the amount to Patni but handed it over to theappellant-accused.According to the prosecution this bill(Ext.5 Colly.), when it was originally received and washanded over by Sagar (PW2) to the appellant-accused was, forRs.7.50, the identical amount being mentioned both infigures and words, but some time later it was interpolatedby adding the, figure of ""160"" before the figure ""7""inflating the amount to Rs. 1607.50 in figures withoutaltering the amount in words; in other words, as altered thebill showed the amount as Rs. 1607.50 in figures but rupeesseven and fifty paise only in words.Further, according tothe prosecution, another document purporting to be a typedunstamped voucher-cum-receipt dated 3-4-1970 for Rs. 1607.50(Ext.5 colly.) connected with and related to aforesaidinterpolated and inflated bill purporting to bear thesignature of B.

Doongaji, the Chairman of the ManagingCommittee (P.W.1), came into existence.The prosecution wasunable to say who had actually interpolated and inflated thebill No. 49 (Ext. 5 colly.) as also who had brought intoexistence the aforesaid voucher/.receipt (Ex. 5 colly.) onwhich forged signature of Sagar and forged initials ofDoongaji appeared.But the prosecution case was that theappellant accused fraudulently or dishonestly used asgenuine the said bin and the said typed voucher/receiptknowing or having reason to believe that these documentswere forged for the purpose of issuing a bearer cheque forthe said inflated amount and misappropriating the same.Theprosecution story was that for the sake of convenience andfacility of work a practice was followed in the Society thatat a 1 time about 8 to 10 blank cheques used to be signed byDoongaji (PW1) first and then by K. N. Singh (PW12) and thecheque-book containing such signed blank cheques used toremain in the custody of the appellant-accused and wheneverpayment was required to be made by cheque the appellantaccused used to write the body of the cheque in his own handand make the by issuing the same; that asregards bill No. 49 of Patni & Co appellant-accused in hiscapacity as Honorary Accountant on the basis of inflatedbill as well as the forged voucher/receipt (Ex. 5 colly.)made use of one of such blank cheques signed by Doongaji andSingh by issuing a bearer cheque No. 377137 dated 3-4-1970for Rs. 1607.50 in favour of Shivram A Lad (PW8), Peon inDorabji Tata Trust; that Lad withdrew the amount from theSociety's Bank at the instance of the appellant-accused andhanded it over to him, which the appellant-'4 83accused dishonestly misappropriated.Thus, according to the prosecution, the appellant-accused on or about April 3, 1970 dishonestly used asgenuine two forged documents, namely, the bill No. 49 datedDecember 14, 1969 as well as the voucher/receipt dated April3, 1970, knowing or having reason to believe them to beforged at the time of such user that he committed criminalbreach of trust in respect of the sum of Rs. 1607.50andalso falsified the books of accounts of the Society.Itappearsthat in the last week of June 1970, Sagar (PW2)the retired Estate Manager, complained to Doongaji (PW 1)that certain amountswhich had been paid by him to theappellant-accused were not to be found in the books ofaccounts of the Society maintained by the appellant-accused,whereupon Doongaji took Sagar to Professor Choksi, themanaging trustee of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and in July orAugust, 1970 Karsi Gherda (PW11).Appeal by Special Leave from the Judgment and Order datedthe 30th September, 1974 of the Bombay High Court in Crl.A. No. 176 of 1974,J.P. Mehta, B. R. Aggarwala and P. B. Aggarwala for theAppellant.Controller of Accounts inTata Electric Company was requested to look into theaccounts of the Society.The crime was registered by_the Palton Road Police Station and subsequently theinvestigation was taken over by the Crime Branch C.I.D. andafter completion of the investigation the appellant-accusedwas charge-sheeted and then committed to the, Court ofSessions to stand his trial for offences under s. 471 readwith s. 468 (two counts) one in respect of each of the twodocuments, the bill and the voucher/receipt, s. 408 and s.477A. I.P.C.The appellant-accused abjured-guilt and denied havingcommitted any of the offences with which he was charged.Hedisputed that there was any practice to keep in his custodythe cheque-book of the society containing the blank chequessigned by Doongaji (PWI) and K. N. Singh (PWI2) as suggestedby the prosecution or that he bad made use of any suchsigned blank cheque by issuing the bearer cheque No. 377137on April 3,1970 for Rs. 1607.50 for the purpose ofmisappropriating the amount as alleged.According to himthe amount of Rs. 1607.50 was paid in cash by him to Sagar(PW2) on the instructions from Doongaji (PWI) but at thattime he had told Doongaji that a large amount was due bySagar to the society and if at all the payment was to bemade to him it should be adjusted against the amount due tothe Society from him.but Doongaji did not accept hissuggestion but insisted that the amount should be paid toSagar without any adjustment.The appellant-accused deniedthat the bill of Patni & Co. was handed over to him by Sagarat any time or at about the time when the payment was madeto him at the484instance of Doongaji but what was banded over to him was abill- cum-receipt of M/s Patni & Co. written in Gujaraticontaining the rubber stamp of M/s. Patni & Co., on thestrength of which the payment was vouched but thisGujarati writing was not forthcoming.Even though he hadmade cash payment of Rs. 1607.50 to Sagar underinstructions of Doongaji, he wanted an entry of this amountin the Bank column of the Cash-Book of the society and thishe did by way of precaution since according to him atthat time a large amount was due to be paid by Sagar tothe Society.Accordingly, he filled in the body of thecheque and in the presence of Doongaji on the top of thecounter-foil of the cheque he made an endorsement ""underverbal order of R.D.D."" He wrote down the name of Lad, aPeon of J. N. Tata in the body of the cheque.TheMaharashtra State Co-operative Bank was not permittingthe bearer cheque to be cashed unless the Chairman and theSecretary of the Society gave their signatures on thereverse of the cheques and since it was difficult to obtainthe signatures of the Secretary Singh, he wrote the name ofLad as the payee of the cheque while on the counter-foil hementioned the name of A.G.R. Patni and Co. because thepayment of Rs. 1607.50 had been made towards thesatisfaction of the bill for that amount to Patni & Co.by Sagar.His case further was that after Lad cashed thecheque, Lad gave the amount to him which be kept in thecash-box; in other words, his defence was that from outof the cash-box he made cash payment of Rs. 1607.50 to Sagaron the insistence of Doongaji and then replenished the cash-box after encashment of the cheque through Lad.Hefurther emphatically disputed that he had used theforged bill and forged voucher/,receipt in connectionwith the payment of Rs. 1607.50 which he made, to Sagar atthe instance of Doongaji.He also denied that he hadmisappropriated the amount or had falsified the cash-book asalleged and the case of the prosecution being entirelyfalse he deserved to be acquitted.At the trial the prosecution led oral as well as documentaryevidence in support of its case.The oral evidence consistedof as many as 15 witnesses out of whom 7 witnesses werematerial, namely, Doongaji (PW1), Sagar (PW2), Abdul GaniPatni (PW3), Shivram Lad (PW8), Nariman Deboo (PW6),Kars Gherda (PWll) and K. N. Singh (PW12).One Nand Kumar Parekh, an Hand-writingExpert and the State Examiner of Documents in the StateC.I.D. was examined who gave his expert opinion that thepurported signature ""B. A. Sagar"" and the purportedinitial ""RDD"" appearing on the485voucher-cum-receipt dated April 3, 1970 (Ext. 5 colly.) werenot in the hand of witnesses Sagar and Doongaji respectivelybut were traced forgeries and gave reasons for his saidopinion of course, this was in addition to the positiveevidence of these two witnesses who had stated that theconcerned 'signature and the concerned initial were nottheir's.The learned Session Judge on a consideration ofthe evidence on record came to the conclusion that theprosecution had failed to establish any of the chargesagainst the appellant-accused beyond reasonable doubt.Hedid not accept the prosecution case that signed blankcheques 8 or 10 at a time used to be kept with theappellant-accused and did not accept the evidence of eitherDoongaji (PW1) or K. N. Singh (PW12) in that behalf, foraccording to him, the reasons for resorting to such practicewere not satisfactory.He also took the view that it wasnot possible to accept the prosecution case that theappellant-accused was in possession of the original bill No.49 dated December 14, 1969 of Patni & Co. and he felt thatdefence version bad been rendered probable that theappellant-accused must have made the payment of Rs. 1607.50to Sagar at the instance of Doongaji especially as on thecounter-foil of the concerned bearer cheque No. 377137 datedApril 3, 1970 there was an endorsement made by 'theappellant-accused ""under verbal order of RDD""; in otherwords, he was inclined to accept the defence case that theappellant-accused had first paid out cash of Rs. 1607.50 toSagar from out of the cash-box and thereafter replenishedthe cash-box by issuing the bearer cheque and getting itencashed through peon Shivram Lad.Against this acquittal order passedby learned Addl.Inappeal the High Court reversed the acquittal recorded infavour of the accused by the learned Addl.The High Court rejected the defence version thatthe appellant-accused had first paid cash out of the cashboxto Sagar as suggested by him or that be bad done so at the486instance of Doongaji or that he had issued the bearer chequeunder verbal order of Doongaji as suggested.It found thatthe Society had not got so much cash with it on or aboutApril 3, 1970, that the cash balance on hand with theSociety for quite some time prior to April 3, 1970 was onlyRs.505.07p; that Sagar's evidence that he had not gone tothe office in the month of April, 1970 after his retirermentwas acceptable and, therefore, the accused's version that hehad first paid cash to Sagar and had replenished cash byissuing and encashing the bearer cheque was utterly falseand he had dishonestly misappropriated the amount.Holdingthat the prosecution had established its case against theappellant-accused beyond doubt, the High Court convicted himof all the charges levelled against him.However, on thequestion of sentence, for certain reasons mentioned by it inits judgment, the High Court sentenced him to one day'simprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2000/- and in default tosuffer rigorous imprisonment for six months.It was also not disputed that the said bill when itwas submitted by Abdul Gani Patni (PW3) and when it wasreceived by Sagar (PW2) the amount thereof both in figuresand words was Rs. 7.50 and it was some time later that thisbill No. 49 got interpolated and become inflated to Rs.1607.50 by addition of the figure ""160"" before the figure""7"" but such interpolation only appeared in the amountexpressed in figures while the amount expressed in wordscontinued to be ""rupees, seven and fifty paise only."".it istrue that the prosecution has not been able to show as tohow and who made such interpolation in this bill but itcannot be disputed that anyone who would come across suchbill (being Part of Ex. 5 colly) would immediately noticethe interpolation and discrepancy therein, so that whoeveruses the bill at any time subsequent to its tampering wouldhave knowledge and reason to believe that the same has beenforged.In other wordsthe.Dealing first with the prosecution theory that blank chequessigned by Doongaji and Singh used to remain in the custodyof the accused there is evidence of two prosecutionwitnesses on the point, namely, Doongaji (PW1), and Singh(PW12); Doongaji (PW1) has stated that the bank accountcould be operated jointly by himself asthe Chairman andSingh as the Secretary, that Singh used to resideatGoregaon and every time whenever the cheque was required tobe drawn it was not possible for Singh to give hissignature onthe same and further that Singh used toinsist that before he wouldput his signature on thecheque of the society, the Chairman shouldput hissignature on the same and, therefore, with a view tofacilitatethe convenience of Singh, it was thepractice of the society that at atime about 8 to 10blank cheques used to be signed by him first andthey weresent to Singh through witness Sagar the Estate Manager, andSingh used to put his signatures thereon, and the chequebook containing such signed blank cheques always used toremain in the custody of the accused and on every occasionthe particulars of the cheque both in words as well as infigures used to be written by the appellant-accused.Doongaji also stated that the books of account, the vouchersand cheque book used to be kept in the custody of theaccused in the office of Sir Doongaji Tata Trust.To thesame effect was the evidence of Singh (PWI2), who confirmedthat he used to put his signatures on blank cheques wheneverthey were signed by the Chairman 'of the Society and be usedto receive such blank cheques duly signed by the Chairman ofthe Society first through Sagar and later through Sagar'ssuccessor Figrado and that at a time he used to sign blankcheques between 5 to 10 in number and sometimes they used tobe 15 also.This evidence was sought to be demolished bythe defence by relying upon two or three factors.The learned Addl.Sessions Judge has, infact, made a half-hearted finding on this part of theprosecution case by observing as follows in para 36 of thejudgment ""The probabilities would rather show that the chequebook containing the blank cheques signed by Mr. Doongaji as well as by Mr. Singh would continue to remain with Mr. Doongaji and as and when an occasion arose for issuing a cheque the accused would be summoned and he would be asked to fill in the body of the cheque and then the cheque would be issued.""The observation suggests that the learned trial Judge hasaccepted the prosecution case partly, namely that onprobabilities the cheque-book used to contain blank chequessigned by Doongaji as well as by Mr. Singh but according tohim such cheque-book containing signed blank cheque wouldcontinue to remain with Doongaji.We fail to appreciate asto why, if at all, the cheque-book was to remain withDoongaji and the cheques would be issued by the accused inthe manner suggested by him, blank cheques would be signedby Doongaji at all.The evidence of the two witnesses asalso the contents of the letter Ext. 59-D clearly show thatthe practice as put forward by the prosecution did obtain inthe society.Apart from the aforesaid oral evidence of thetwo witnesses and the support it receives from the contentsof the letter Ext. 59-D, there is yet one circumstance whichsupports the prosecution story on the question of aforesaidpractice and that circumstance arises from the defence,version itself.(1) that it was the last month of hisservice and (2) that be did not have sufficient funds withhim and according to the defence both the reasons do notbear scrutiny and if the reasons for not disbursing the,bill are false his evidence, that he handed over the billto the appellant,accused cannot and should not be accepted.It has been elicited in his evidence that he used to keepwith him cash of the, Society out of the collections made byhim for days and months and in any case it would bedifficult to believe that be did not have a paltry sum ofRs. 7.50/- with him and it has been further elicited thatthough it was the last month of his service he had madecollection from the occupants of the flats.It was thusurged that both the reasons put forward by the witness fornot disbursing the bill being false his evidence should beit ejected.Manager,from time to time.Karsi Gherda afterhehad been apprised by Nariman Deboo about the existence ofthesetwo documents (Ext. 5 collectively) which were fictitiousand fraudulent in character.' had a meeting of the personsconcerned and had confronted the appellant-accused withthese two documents.particularly, the bill part of Ext. P5and from what the accused stated at that time to the witnessit would be clear that the appellant-accused was fullyconscious and aware of the clear inter-1,therefore sent for the accused.When I showed this billpart of Ext. 5 collectively and asked him as to what hewanted to say with regard to the clear interpolation in thefigure of Rs. 1607.50 the accused agreed with me and told methat even if it was clear case of interpolation, he paid off the amount under the authority of Doongaji, who wasChairman of the Managing Committee of the Society"".Nothingwas elicited in /his cross-""amination so as to cast anydoubt on this part of the evidence given by him in examina-tion-in-Chief.We might, however, state that for the firsttime in the appeal when it was being heard by the, HighCourt an application was made seeking permission to recallthe witness for the purpose of contradicting him with hispolice statement where, according to the appellant-accused,the witness had not given his version as to what transpiredbetween him and the accused during the meeting in suchdetails but that application was rejected by the High Courtand, in our view, rightly.The aforesaid evidence ofwitness Karsi Gherda, therefore, clearly brings out theaspect that on his own admission the appellant-accused hadmade the payment of the bill on the strength of the billwith full consciousness and awareness that the same was aninterpolated and forged document.from the fact thatin his statement under s. 342 Cr.P.C., the accused has comeout with a story that at about the time when he made paymentin cash to Sagar through Doongaji and issued the bearercheque and got it encashed for replenishing of the cash,some Gujarati voucher byway of a receipt from Patni & Co,had been produced to him but somehow or the other thatGujarati voucher was not forth coming.In other words, thatthe disbursement of the bill would require to be vouched bya voucher-cum-receipt was very well known to the appellant-accused.The Gujarati writing, it seems to us, is not forthcoming because there was no such Gujarati writing at all inexistence and the appellant accused purported to make thedisbursement of the forged bill on the basis of getting thesame vouched by means of the forged voucher-cum-receipt,(being the other part of Ext. 5 collectively.) In our view,therefore, on the aforesaid material which we have discussedabove it appears to us clear that the prosecution could besaid to have established its charge under S. 471 read withs.467 I.P.C. under both the counts against the accusedbeyond any reasonable doubt and the High Court was justifiedin reversing the acquittal recorded by the trial Court inhis favour on these counts.","['Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 467 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Though, there is no direct evidence to establish on record by the prosecution that the deceased has been murdered by the accused persons.Therefore, in absence of any direct evidence regarding strangulation and causing death of deceased Anju therefore, they can not be convicted for the offence under Section 302 IPC.However, there is sufficient material available on record which has been proved and corroborated by the prosecution witnesses by leading oral and medical evidence.Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that prosecution has been able to prove the case against the accused persons beyond any reasonable doubt and there was a rebuttable presumption under Section 114 B of Evidence Act as well as under Section 304 B IPC, which is not being rebutted by the accused persons.The death of deceased has been caused in unnatural manner within seven years of her marriage as provided under Section 304 B IPC and here the death has been cause within one month of the marriage and there are allegations of demand of dowry and harassment on account of demand of dowry.Let they be heard on the quantum of sentence.""ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANT-CONVICTSMr. Mohd. Ahmed, learned counsel for the appellant-convicts stated that the marriage between the deceased and appellant-convict Sandeep was a love marriage.He further stated that no cruelty was inflicted upon the deceased as there was no demand for dowry by the appellant-convicts and that she was comfortable in her matrimonial home.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 5 of 23He contended that even the statements made by the sister of the deceased, Kusum (PW-1) and their uncle, Ganesh Lal (PW-2) to the SDM (PW-24) on the day after the death of the deceased i.e 11th January 2011 did not contain any allegations of demand for dowry and the same was corroborated by the testimony of the SDM (PW-24).He emphasised that as there was no allegation against the appellant-convicts they were not arrested for more than two years after the death of the deceased.Learned counsel for the appellant-convicts contended that the allegations with regard to demand for dowry by the appellant-convicts were for the first time made in vague statements to the SDM (PW-19) by two other sisters of the deceased - Pinky (PW-3) and Rakhi (PW-4), nearly two years after the death of the deceased.He pointed out that the sisters of the deceased while getting their statements recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., added a new allegation that on 1st January, 2011 when they had gone to the matrimonial house of the deceased, she had informed them that there was a dowry demand with regard to her share in her ancestral one room house and consequently, the appellant-convicts were arrested.It is only for the first time on 22nd September, 1999 (after about 37 days of incident) that the appellant and his wife Suman Gupta made statement to SDM and made allegations regarding harassment and demand of dowry.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 6 of 23Further, the appellant has not alleged that any demand was made from him rather Suman Gupta (PW-12) has deposed that Satpal, uncle of Rajesh Gupta, his mother Pushpa Devi and Suman (sister-in-law) used to demand dowry from the deceased Geeta.PW-12 has deposed that after three days of marriage, her daughter came to her house and disclosed that she was being harassed and money was being demanded.L.P.260/2018 Page 8 of 23L.P.260/2018 Page 9 of 23ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE APP FOR STATEPer contra, Ms. Aasha Tiwari, learned APP for the State contended that as per the Post Mortem Report (Ex. PW 12/A) the cause of death of the deceased was asphyxia consequent to obstruction of the airway by strangulation of the neck and Dr. Manoj Dhingra, (PW-12) who conducted the post mortem on the body of the deceased had opined that ""the injuries on the neck were sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature"".She pointed out that as per the Post Mortem Report, all the injuries on the body of the deceased were ante mortem in nature and fresh in duration.She also stated that as per the subsequent opinion on the Post Mortem Report, the injuries were not self inflicted and there was least likelihood of the deceased strangulating herself.12. Learned APP for the State further stated that the dead body of the deceased was found in her matrimonial house itself and the sister of the appellant-convicts, Seema (DW-5) had deposed that on the day the deceased had died, she along with her mother and sister remained in the house throughout the day and no outsider had entered the house.She contended that in view of the aforesaid, the burden was on the appellant-convicts to explain how the death of the deceased had happened and they had failed to discharge the said burden.L.P.260/2018 Page 10 of 23 and Rakhi (PW-4) had deposed that the appellant-convicts had harassed the deceased in connection with a demand for dowry.She pointed out that they had deposed that the demand for dowry was specifically in regard to the deceased's share in the ancestral property situated in Malkaganj and that the deceased before her death was asked to sell the property.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 10 of 23She pointed out that it was not the appellant- convicts' case that they were far away from Delhi and that it was not possible for them to reach their house on the day of the incident.She emphasised that both the appellant-convicts were in Delhi and it is very easy for a person in Delhi to reach from one place to another within an hour and that there was no evidence of the time on which the appellant-convicts had left their house in the morning on the date of the incident.Learned APP for the State also stated that as per the evidence on record, a telephone call was made to the sister of the deceased Kusum (PW-1) at about 11 pm on 10th January, 2011 to inform her that the deceased was not waking up.PW 2's evidence that he met Archana at their parental home on 9-8-1997 and that Archana informed him about the demand of Rs 5,00,000 and cruelty meted out to her and that he proceeded to the house of the appellants to settle the dispute amicably is quite natural and inspires confidence.PW 2 acted like a loving brother and probably he did not want to give tension to his old parents and on seeing the urgency of the matter, went to the appellants' house to convince them.By perusal of evidence of PW 2, it is seen that he remained consistent throughout his cross-examination and nothing CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 13 of 23 substantial was elicited to discredit his version.Merely because PW 2 has not produced documents showing the permission granted to him to be away from the headquarters Tehri from 7- 8-1997 to 10-8-1997, version of PW 2 cannot be doubted.The reasons stated by PW 2 for his stay in hotel is quite convincing and the contention assailing the credibility of PW 2 was rightly rejected by the trial court and the High Court.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 13 of 23It has been further contended on behalf of the appellants that there was delay in recording the statement of PW 2 by the investigating officer and therefore his evidence should be viewed with suspicion, especially when he did not disclose about the alleged dowry demand before he left for Dehradun or till his statement was recorded by the police.In this context as pointed out earlier, PW 2 went to Mumbai for treatment of his wife and on 14-8-1997 he was informed about the death of Archana and on the next day he returned to Delhi by air and from Delhi he reached Dehradun by taxi.Learned APP vehemently denied that the prosecution had withheld the best evidence.She referred to the testimonies of the investigating officer Insp.Vijender Pal (PW-28) and Israr Babu (DW-6).The relevant portions of the said testimonies are reproduced hereinbelow:-A.606/2018 & Crl.This information was also furnished to me by the service provider through email.I do not remember now the name of service provider.I had send the said request to service provider through E-mail, copies of said e-mails were not made part of record.....""PP for the State.It is correct that the updated Cell ID chart Ex.I was able to retrieve the CDR Ex.DW6/A and Ex.DW6/D after about 5-6 years because the same must have been generated initially on the request of any investing agency.....""The investigation was also stated to be defective since the gun was not sent for forensic test.L.P.260/2018 Page 15 of 23COURTS REASONING IN VIEW OF TESTIMONIES OF THE SDM (PW-24) (WHO IS AN INDEPENDENT WITNESS) UNCLE GANESH LAL (PW-2), AUNT PHOOLWATI (PW-13) AND SISTER KUSUM (PW-1), (WITH WHOM THE DECEASED HAD STAYED FROM 06TH JANUARY, 2011 TILL 09TH JANUARY, 2011), THIS COURT IS OF THE OPINION THAT THE TESTIMONIES OF TWO OTHER SISTERS I.E. PINKY (PW-3) AND RAKHI (PW-4) ARE CONTRARY TO THE EVIDENCE ON RECORD, UNCORROBORATED AND AN AFTERTHOUGHT.ACCORDINGLY, THE TESTIMONIES OF PINKY (PW-3) AND RAKHI (PW-4) CANNOT BE RELIED UPON.CONSEQUENTLY, STATUTORY PRESUMPTION FOR DOWRY DEATH UNDER SECTION 304B IPC CANNOT BE DRAWN AGAINST THE APPELLANT-CONVICTS.L.P.260/2018 Page 17 of 23My niece Anju did not tell me that on 1.1.2011, her sisters Pinki and Rakhi went to her matrimonial home for giving new year wishes.(Vol.Nobody went to house of Anju after her marriage).Anju had not told me that on the said new year day, Sunny and Deepak had threatened Pinki and Rakhi to kill Anju if money after selling the parental house is not given to them as dowry.It is correct that I had/have cordial relations with all sisters namely Anju, Pinki and Rakhi and they used to share their happiness and sorrow with me.Till 14.1.2011, when my statement was recorded by the IO, Pinki and Rakhi did not tell me about the incident that took place on new year day at matrimonial house of Anju.I met Pinki and Rakhi, after the marriage of Anju, on the day of death of Anju.Pinki and Rakhi used to talk me on telephone.(Vol.I do not remember whether they had called me before the death of Anju.) After 14.1.2011 till today, Pinki and Rakhi had not told me that accused persons were demanding money after selling share of deceased in her parental house......""(emphasis supplied)In fact, perusal of the paper book reveals that on 11th January, 2011 the SDM (PW-24) had recorded the statements of sister of the deceased, Kusum (PW-1) and uncle Ganesh Lal (PW-2) and they had not mentioned about the demand for dowry.The SDM (PW-24) had also asked other relatives to come forward to make statements, but no one including Pinky (PW-3) and Rakhi (PW-4) came forward.The relevant portion of the testimony of the SDM (PW-24) is reproduced hereinbelow:-No one else including any other sister of deceased volunteered to get her statement recorded before me.Neither any complaint was given to me by any relative of the CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 18 of 23 deceased nor any request was made for recording their statements.....""A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 19 of 23Further, the prosecution has failed to prove that the deceased was subjected to cruelty by the appellant-convicts or that they had made demands for dowry soon before the death of the deceased or at any time prior.After taking those documents, CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 20 of 23 both of my aforesaid employees delivered the same documents to Sh.Harvinder Singh, property broker in Bhera Enclave, New Delhi on my instructions.They had thereafter returned back to our office in Connaught Place.In the evening at about 7:00 pm, I had received a call from the accused Sandeep in a very shocking state.Accordingly, Crl.A 606/2018 is allowed and the impugned judgment of conviction and order on sentence are set aside.The appellant-convicts are acquitted for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 304B and 34 IPC and are directed to be released forthwith.MANMOHAN, J SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J OCTOBER 24, 2019 rn CRL.","['Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"According to the prosecution case, between 03.02.2014 and 08.03.2014, the petitioner had purchased total quantity of 2086 bags of paddy from the second respondent under nine bills.The cost of the paddy so purchased was Rs.19,48,834/-.Thus, according to the complainant, the petitioner had paid a total sum of Rs.2,25,000/- towards partial discharge of the said liability.The balance was Rs.17,23,834/-.The petitioner is one of the accused in Crime No.132 of 2014 on the file of the first respondent alleging that the petitioner along with another accused committed offences punishable under Sections 420 and 506 of I.P.C. On the ground that the registration of the said case and continuance of the investigating amounts to clear abuse of process of law, the petitioner has come up with this petition seeking to quash the F.I.R. and the connected proceedings.I have heard Mr.R.Gandhi, learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner, Mr.M.Maharaja, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the first respondent and Mr.S.Ananthanarayanan, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent.I have also perused the records carefully.The first respondent Mr.Gunasekaran, Inspector of Police, Tirupattur Town Police Station, is also present along with the records.I have the benefit of going through the entire case diary also.A perusal of that records and the F.I.R. would go to show that the petitioner was doing paddy and rice business in Tirupattur in the name and style 'J.K.Traders'.The second respondent is also doing the same business in Tirupanipettai, Tiruvidaimaruthur Taluk, Thanjavur District.According to the further case of the prosecution, when the second respondent demanded payment of dues, the petitioner declined to pay the same and instead he had threatened him along with his manager namely the second accused.On these allegations, the F.I.R. was registered by the first respondent on 01.05.2014, for offences punishable under Sections 420 and 506 of I.P.C.The learned senior counsel Mr.R.Gandhi, appearing for the petitioner, would submit that assuming that the allegations contained in the F.I.R. and other events which came to light during subsequent investigation are true, the same would only make out a pure and simple civil dispute and these allegations do not make out any offence more particularly offences punishable under Sections 420 or 506 of I.P.C. Therefore, according to the learned senior counsel, the registration of the F.I.R. and continuance of the investigation amounts to clear abuse of process of law and therefore the entire proceedings commencing from F.I.R. should be quashed.Since the entire case is quashed, the rice bags seized from the rice mill of the petitioner shall be returned by the learned Judicial Magistrate No.1, Tirupattur to the petitioner unconditionally under Section 452 of Cr.P.C. The vehicle already released to the petitioner on conditional basis shall be retained by the petitioner unconditionally as provided under Section 452 of Cr.P.C.With the above directions, this criminal original petition is allowed and the case in Crime No.132 of 2014 is quashed.Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed.S.NAGAMUTHU,J.The Judicial Magistrate No.1, Tirupattur.The Inspector of Police, Tirupattur Town Police Station, Vellore District.The Public Prosecutor, High Court of Madras.O.P.No.20776 of 2014and M.P.No.1 of 201427.10.2014","['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 415 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

10th day of March, 2015) The appellant has preferred the present appeal against the judgment dated 20.9.2002 passed by the Special Judge under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, Panna in Special Case No.48/2001, whereby the appellant has been convicted of offence under Sections 341, 323, 506(Part-II), 294 of the IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (hereinafter it would be referred as 'the Special Act') and sentenced to six months S.I. with fine of Rs.500/-, six months R.I. with fine of Rs.500/-, one year's R.I. with fine of Rs.1,000/-, two months R.I. with fine of Rs.500/- and one year's R.I. with 2 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 fine of Rs.2,000/- respectively.All the sentences to run concurrently, whereas the default sentence was also imposed in lieu of payment of fine.He was sent for his medico legal examination and after due investigation, the charge sheet was filed before the JMFC Panna, who committed the case to the Special Court.The appellant abjured his guilt.He took a plea 3 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 that he was falsely implicated in the matter due to enmity.Also he took a plea that a compromise took place between the parties and the complainant took a sum of Rs.2500/- to do the compromise.However, thereafter, the complainant did not accept the compromise.In defence, Bahori (DW-1) was examined.The Special Judge after considering the evidence adduced by the parties, convicted and sentenced the appellant as mentioned above.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties.In the present case, Rajjulal Choudhary (PW-1), Nanni Bai (PW-2) and Ghaseeta (PW-3) have stated that they were the eyewitnesses.Lakhanbai (PW-4) and Dayaram (PW-5) were examined as eyewitnesses but they turned hostile.Lapaiya (PW-7) was also examined as eyewitness and he has partly turned hostile.Rajjulal (PW-1) has stated that the appellant was abusing him with the words related to his caste.His testimony is supported by Nanni Bai wife of the complainant and Ghaseeta father of the complainant.However, if the evidence of Nanni Bai and Ghaseeta is considered then, it would be clear that they were not present at the spot from the very beginning.4 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 They were informed that the appellant was assaulting the victim then, they went to the spot and hence, they were not the witnesses of portion of crime when the appellant abused the victim with the words related to his caste.Nanni Bai and Ghaseeta have stated that during the assault, the appellant was abusing the victim on the basis of his caste but according to the victim Rajjulal, the appellant abused him with the words relating to his caste in the beginning of the crime and during the assault, he did not state such words.In the FIR Ex.P/1, it is not mentioned that the appellant repeated such words during the assault.Hence, the testimony of Nanni Bai and Ghaseeta cannot be believed.The appellant would have told such words to the victim Rajjulal, where these witnesses come to the spot with delay.Rajjulal has accepted that there was no annoyance between the appellant and him in the past and unexpectedly, the appellant abused and assaulted him.He had filed the FIR Ex.P/1, which was a written report.It was strange that the incident was caused with the victim Rajjulal and thereafter, he did not take care to lodge the FIR or to get his treatment.On the contrary, he went to 5 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 see his ailing mother, who was admitted in the Hospital at Nagod and therefore, the FIR was lodged with the delay of 18 hours.According to the document Ex.P/6, the incident took place on 7.11.2000 at about 3:30 p.m., whereas the FIR was lodged on 8.11.2000 at about 9:30 a.m. The reasons relating to the delay in the FIR shown by the complainant Rajjulal appears to be unacceptable.A written report has been given at Police Station, Saleha and therefore, Rajjulal had an opportunity to cook a case against the appellant.As the witnesses Nanni Bai and Ghaseeta were telling a falsehood that the appellant had abused the victim Rajjulal with the words related to his caste, whereas such allegations are not true then, the possibility cannot be ruled out that the complainant Rajjulal while lodging the FIR had mentioned about the fact that the appellant abused him with the words relating to his caste and therefore, a doubt is created as to whether the appellant had abused the complainant on the basis of words related to his caste or the complainant on the basis of his caste had lodged the FIR of offence under Section 3(1)(x) of the Special Act to get the advantage of his caste.Hence, it is not proved beyond doubt that the appellant 6 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 abused the victim with the words relating to the caste of the complainant.Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the complainant has given a proof that he was a member of scheduled caste.The complainant and his witnesses have stated that the complainant was ""Chaudhary"" by caste and in the certificate Ex.P/9, Tahsildar concerned has issued the caste certificate that the complainant belongs to the community of Chaudhary, and ""Chaudhary"" falls within the category of scheduled caste.It is also submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that according to the list of scheduled caste prevailed in the Madhya Pradesh, there is no such caste ""Chaudhary"" which falls in the scheduled caste.On the contrary, if the complainant would have claimed in the certificate that he was ""Chamar"" by caste then, that certificate could specify that he was a member of scheduled caste.The submissions made by the learned counsel for the appellant can be accepted because Tahsildar concerned has issued such a certificate, which has no legal value.It is expected from an officer to verify and inquire about the caste of a particular person and to 7 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 issue the certificate.On the contrary, Tahsildar issued the certificate that being ""Chaudhary"" by caste, the complainant was a member of scheduled caste, whereas no such caste is declared to be a scheduled caste for Madhya Pradesh in the schedule appended in the Constitution.Hence, the complainant could not prove that he was a member of scheduled caste.Hence, the appellant could not be convicted of offence under Section 3(1)(x) of the Special Act.So far as the other offences are concerned, the complainant and his witnesses did not tell the specific words, told by the appellant so that those words could be considered that whether those would have fallen within the category of obscene words.He did not state before the trial Court that the appellant executed his threatening as told on the date of incident or not.If any threatening was given by the appellant on the date of incident, even then it does not fall in the category of criminal intimidation and therefore, the appellant cannot be convicted of offence under Section 506 of the IPC.The trial Court has committed an error of law in convicting the appellant for the offence under Section 506(Part-II) of the IPC.Similarly, it was alleged by the complainant Rajjulal that he was going to Nagod and in the way, the appellant started uttering obscene words to him and words on the basis of his caste by detaining him.However, technically it can be said that due to overt act of the appellant, he was restrained to go further but no intention 9 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 of the appellant to restrain the complainant to go further is proved and therefore in absence of any intention, no offence under Section 341 of the IPC is made out against the appellant.However, Rajjulal (PW-1), Nanni Bai (PW-2) and Ghaseeta (PW-3) have stated that the appellant assaulted the victim by kicks and fists and also by slaps.The defence witness Bahori (DW-1) has admitted that the quarrel took place between the appellant and the complainant.Though, he has stated that the complainant fell down on the earth due to his drunken condition but it is accepted by the witnesses that in the incident, the complainant fell down on the earth.If the complainant was in a drunken condition then, it was not possible for him to visit the village Nagod to see his ailing mother and thereafter, to come back.Therefore, that fact cannot be accepted that the complainant Rajjulal was in drunken 10 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 condition.Looking to the evidence of defence witness Bahori (DW-1), the testimony of Rajjulal, Nanni Bai and Ghaseeta appears to be acceptable that the appellant assaulted the victim Rajjulal.It is not necessary to prove the physical injury for the offence under Section 323 of the IPC.If any bodily pain was caused to the victim then, offence under Section 323 of the IPC is made out.It is for the appellant to prove that he was given any grave or sudden provocation or he had a right of private defence.In alternate, the appellant could not prove such fact.The incident took place when the complainant was going on a way and therefore, no overt act of the complainant was proved that he gave sudden or grave provocation to the appellant and any right of private defence was accrued to the appellant.The appellant gave more than one assault and therefore after the result of his first assault, he continued to assault the victim and hence, the trial Court has rightly found that the appellant had voluntarily caused hurt to the victim Rajjulal.Therefore, the appellant was rightly convicted for the offence under Section 323 of the IPC.So far as the sentence is concerned, the 11 Criminal Appeal No.1521/2002 appellant was the first offender, who was a youth of 23 years of age at the time of incident.Since he was above 21 years of age, it is not a case in which, he may be released on probation but looking to his first offence and the fact that he did not use any weapon, his offence under Section 323 of the IPC, it would be proper that a maximum fine may be imposed upon the appellant for that offence.On the basis of aforesaid discussion, the appeal filed by the appellant is hereby partly allowed.The conviction and sentence imposed by the trial Court for the offences under Sections 341, 294, 506 (Part-II) of the IPC and Section 3(1)(x) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act are hereby set aside.The appellant is acquitted from the aforesaid charges.It is informed that the appellant has deposited the fine more than of Rs.1,000/- before the trial Court for other offences, therefore, he would be entitled to get the remaining fine amount back from the trial Court and hence, no default sentence is required to be provided.The appellant is on bail.Copy of the order be sent to the trial Court alongwith its record for information.(N.K.

Maheshwari, J.Being aggrieved by the judgment dated 15.1.2007 passed by X Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur in Sessions Trial No.178/2006 convicting the appellants for the charge under Section 302 read with 201 of the IPC and directed to undergo R.I. for life and three years respectively with fine of Rs.1000/- and Rs.500/- each, in default R.I. for three months and two months respectively.The dead body of the deceased was found on date of incident i.e. 15.3.2006 while the head was found on 18.3.2006 at the difference place.As alleged, the case of the prosecution is that on 15.3.2006, at about 5 p.m. in the evening, the mother of Premlal alongwith Bajaria Bai reached on the field.After coming back at about 7 p.m., it was told by her that the dead body of her husband Gulabi without head is lying near a culvert.Premlal reached on spot alongwith mother where the dead body was lying.Buddhu Gaur has told that about 10-11 a.m. in the morning, Gulabi was seen going towards Taparia.Thereafter, at about 3 p.m., Laxman told him that the dead body of Gulabi is lying in a culvert.Premlal and others made an attempt to find out the head of the deceased but could not trace out, however, the information was given to the Police Station on the next date i.e. 16.3.2006 which was registered at Crime No.24/06 under Section 302 read with 201 of the IPC.P/9, the head of the deceased was found and the recovery of Jarkati (Sickle) was also made, thereafter, the Panchanama was prepared.After completing the investigation challan was filed before the competent Court.Since the offence was triable by the Court of Session, therefore, it was committed, where the charge under Section 302 read with 201 of the IPC was framed against the present three appellants and Chhotelal.It is said that his conduct is doubtful and as apparent from the fact that he has not disclosed the name of the accused persons to Budhram (PW2) though narrated the incident immediately.His conduct is further doubtful because he has not informed regarding the death of the deceased to the family members, though, they visited on the spot.Further his conduct is doubtful as at the time when he was preparing the country made liquor, the incident took place but he did not make any attempt to save the deceased if assaulted by accused.In addition thereto, as per the statement of Ramailal (PW8) and Jhallulal (PW13), the seizure were made in between 9 - 10 a.m., though they were arrested later on.On the other hand, Shri Sourabh Shrivastava, learned Dy.It is the contention that Laxman (PW3) is the eye-witness to the incident, merely non-disclosure of incident for 2 - 3 days would not make him doubtful to acquit the accused persons for commission of murder of the deceased, therefore, maintaining the conviction, the appeal may be dismissed.He in his statement said that while he was preparing country made liquor, deceased Gulabi was sitting there.Three persons namely Shyamlal, Ramchandra and Tejilal came and assaulted Gulabi by means of Knife, stones and Sickle.At that time, he ran away and narrated the incident to Budhram.His statement :: 6 ::During this time, he narrated the incident to Budhram without disclosing the name of any accused person in the evening, as reveal from his testimony as well as from the testimony of Budhram.Eye-witness have never made any attempt to save the deceased merely on the pretext of fear and he has also not informed to the family members of the deceased, though, they were known to each other and was staying on the field alongwith deceased at some distance for considerable long time.He has not informed the incidence to police though he must immediately informed.The defence was put regarding enmity due to election of the Panchayat.He admitted that Major Temre of Police Station, Kundam is in his relation.When a specific question was put that you yourself has murdered the deceased and the weapon and other things have been kept in the hut by you, as Budhram should not doubt you, who was also staying on the field alongwith Gulabi, however, after murder of Gulabi, you disclosed the said fact to Major Temre and being his relative in the police department, he saved you.Even having such specific defence and putting the specific question, he has not informed the police for three days, regarding the incident and after three days, he became eye-Shyamlal Baiga and others vs. State of Madhya Pradesh Cr.A. No.318/2007 articles have been made prior to the arrest of the accused persons.The said fact would reflect from the testimony of Ramailal (PW8) and Jhallulal (PW13) co-relating with the memorandum Ex.P/7, Ex.P.8, Ex.P/9, Ex.P/10, Ex.P/11, Ex.P/12, Ex.P/13, Ex.P/14, Ex.P/15 and Ex.In such circumstances, neither the testimony of the eye-witnesses is of sterling character nor the seizure prior to arrest is justified but the trial Court without considering this vital aspect, relying upon the statement of eye-witnesses coupled with the seizure of the articles and the head of the dead body, convicted the appellants.In addition, such circumstances, one fact is also having much relevance that the weapon seized was sent for FSL examination and the report of FSL do not corroborate with the allegation of use of those weapons in commission of the offence.In view of the foregoing discussion, in our considered opinion, neither the testimony of eye-witnesses is of sterling character which can be relied upon to convict the appellants nor the seizure of the articles prior to arrest is justified.In that view of the matter, merely relying upon the testimony of Investigating Officer, who conducted the investigation and relying upon the statement of Budhram (PW2) and the seizure, conviction directed by the trial Court is wholly unsustainable in law.In fact, the prosecution has failed to prove the :: 8 ::Shyamlal Baiga and others vs. State of Madhya Pradesh Cr.A.

+"The appellants in Crl.(a) P.Ws.1 and 2 are father and mother respectively and P.W.3 is the uncle of P.W.9 Ms.During the year 2002, P.W.9 was hardly aged at 8 years.She was studying in III Standard in a private school at Puducherry.She used to go to the school in a rickshaw in the morning and return in the evening in the same rickshaw.On 18.10.2002, as usual, P.W.9 had gone to the school.The school working time was over at 03.30 p.m. P.W.9 came out of the school to go to her house.It is alleged that at that time, one person, who was not already known to P.W.9 (identified as A1), came to the said place.He told P.W.9 that her parents had gone to Chengi to purchase a land and they had sent him to take her to Chengi.Believing his words, she went along with him.He took her to the place where he had parked a scooter.The 1st accused then took P.W.9 in the said scooter to a C.D. Shop at Puducherry.P.W.9 was asked to sit on the scooter itself.Two other persons were already lying in wait for the 1st accused (Those two persons have been later on identified as accused 2 and 3).The accused 2 and 3 took P.W.9 in the same scooter.The 3rd accused drove the scooter and the 2nd accused sat as a pillion rider and P.W.9 was made to sit in between them.They drove the scooter to Chengi Kottai.For some time, they made her to sit there.When she enquired, they said that her parents would come.Then, they took P.W.9 to a house of a relative of the 2nd accused.They kept P.W.9 in the said house.The 2nd accused went out of the house.Then, on the next day, in the afternoon, the 2nd accused returned to the said house where P.W.9 was kept.The 3rd accused also came.Again, they took P.W.9 in the very same scooter.They again took P.W.9 in the Scooter to Chengi.When the scooter was nearing a petrol bunk, policemen came in a TATA Sumo Car.The TATA Sumo Car hit the scooter.The accused 2 and 3 jumped out of the scooter and started running.P.W.9 fell down from the scooter.But, from the TATA Sumo Car, the grandfather of P.W.9 and others got down.The accused 2 and 3 could not be caught hold as they ran away from the scene of occurrence.(c) Reverting back to the family of P.W.9, since P.W.9 did not return from the school, P.W.1 and other family members went in search of her.They were told by someone near the vicinity of the school that P.W.9 was taken by an unidentifiable male in a scooter.Ex.P.12 is the First Information Report and Ex.P.1 is the complaint.He forwarded both the documents to court.(e) P.W.12 took up the case for investigation.He proceeded to the place of occurrence and examined P.Ws.1 and 2 and recorded their statements.But, he could not succeed.P.W.12 during investigation found that the said telephone call was that of a public booth at No.27, Villupuram Road, Chengi.Therefore, suspecting that the child had been taken to Chengi, along with another Sub-Inspector of Police, he went to Chengi.While so, again P.W.1 received a phone call from Phone No.04145 222594 and again such demand was reiterated.During investigation, it turned out that it was from a public booth at Villupuram Main Road, Appambut, Chengi.The investigation revealed that it was again a public booth at No.162, Tiruvannamalai Road, Chengi.(f) P.W.12, when enquired the person who was present there, he identified the 1st accused who was staying somewhere near the said booth.P.W.12 arrested the 1st accused.He disclosed that P.W.9 had been kept by the accused 2 and 3 at Sathyamangalam.Therefore, along with the grandfather of P.W.9 and others, they went in search of her.She has further stated that at that time, an unknown person came to her, persuaded her and told her that her parents had gone to Chengi and he would take her to Chengi.Then, he took her in the Scooter (M.O.1) to a C.D.Shop in Puducherry.Now turning to the quantum of punishment, the learned Counsel for the appellants is not able to make out any mitigating circumstance in favour of the accused.The trauma of P.W.9 on account of the above crime committed would be everlasting.Having considered all the above, we are of the view that sentencing these three accused to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 5 years and to pay a fine of Rs.20,000/- each for the offence under Section 365 read with 34 of IPC would meet the ends of justice.In the result, the Criminal Appeal is partly allowed in the following terms:A.No.594 of 2015 are the accused 1 and 2 and the appellant in Crl.A.No.64 of 2016 is the 3rd accused in S.C.No.30 of 2003 on the file of the learned II Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Puducherry.They stood charged for offence under Section 364-A read with 34 of IPC.By judgment dated 09.09.2015, the trial court convicted all the three accused under the said charge and sentenced them to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each, in default, to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year.Challenging the same, the appellants are before this Court with these appeals.On seeing them, P.W.9 returned.Thus, P.W.9 was rescued.Apprehending that it was a kidnapping, P.W.1 went to Pondicherry Police Station on 18.10.2002 and made a complaint at 08.00 p.m.(d) P.W.12, the then Sub-Inspector of Police, on receipt of the said complaint, registered a case in Crime No.319 of 2002 under Section 363 of IPC.They found the accused 2 and 3 moving in the scooter bearing Registration No. PY-01 A 0443 along with the child.When P.W.12 with his vehicle tried to intercept the accused 2 and 3, they abandoned the scooter along with the child and ran away.P.W.12 then examined P.W.9 and recorded her statement.On 20.10.2002, P.W.12 recovered a compact disc in which the telephone calls and conversations had been recorded and he forwarded the 1st accused to court for judicial remand.Then, he altered the case into one under Section 364-A read with 34 of IPC against all the three accused.Then, he arrested the other accused and forwarded them to court.The investigation was continued by P.W.13 who laid charge sheet against the accused.The learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Puducherry, by his order dated 09.04.2003 committed the said case to the Courts of Sessions under Section 209 of Cr.P.C. for trial.The case was made over to the Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Puducherry on 11.04.2003 by the Principal Sessions Judge, Puducherry for trial.Then, on administrative grounds, the Chief Judge, Puducherry, by order dated 28.11.2006, withdrew the said case from the file of the learned Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Puducherry and transferred the same to the II Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Puducherry for trial.Accordingly, the original records of the case were sent from the Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Puducherry to the II Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Puducherry.But the properties (material objects) collected during investigation and submitted to the learned Magistrate were not sent to the trial court.There were number of correspondences between the II Additional Sessions Judge, Puducherry, the Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Puducherry and the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Puducherry in this regard wherein the trial court wanted the said properties to be sent to the trial court so as to commence the trial.But the properties were never traced out.The learned Judge recorded that since for more than 11 years, the case was pending without any progress in the trial and since the accused was entitled for speedy trial as a fundamental right, he decided to proceed with the case, even in the absence of the production of the case properties.Accordingly, the trial was commenced on 14.11.2014 and the judgment was pronounced on 09.09.2015, convicting all the 3 accused under Section 364-A read with 34 of IPC.During the course of trial, in order to prove the case, on the side of the prosecution, as we have already pointed out, 13 witnesses were examined and 18 documents and 1 material object, namely, the Scooter bearing registration No.PY 01 A 0443 were marked .Out of the said witnesses, P.W.1 is the father of the victim girl.He has stated that since the occurrence was 12 years before, he had forgotten everything about the case.Thus, he did not speak any fact in favour of the prosecution.He only admitted the complaint, namely, Ex.P.1 and his statement recorded by the learned Judicial Magistrate under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. vide Ex.Thus, the evidence of P.W.1 is of no use for the prosecution in any manner.P.W.2 is the mother of the victim girl.She has stated that when P.W.9 was doing 3rd standard, the rickshaw puller who used to take P.W.9 to the school, came and told that one person had taken her.He has further stated that thereafter, P.W.1 went to the police station and made a complaint.Thus, his evidence is also of no use to the case of the prosecution.P.W.4 has turned hostile and he has not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner.As a matter of fact, he was examined to speak about the telephone calls made by the accused 2 and 3 from a STD Booth.P.W.5 has also turned hostile.She was also examined to speak about the fact that the accused 2 and 3 spoke from a telephone booth on the day of occurrence.P.W.6 has also turned hostile.He was also examined to speak about the accused 2 and 3, who according to him, they came in a scooter along with the child and made a phone call.P.W.7 has turned hostile and he has not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner.P.W.8 is the sister--in-law of the 2nd accused.She has also turned hostile and she has not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner.P.W.9 victim girl has stated that in the usual course, she went to the school on 18.10.2002 and at 03.30 p.m. after the school was over, when she came out of the school, the 1st accused took her in a scooter by deceiving her that he was taking her to Chengi where her parents had gone to purchase a land.She has further stated that he took her to a CD shop in Puducherry from where she was taken in M.O.1 Scooter by the accused 2 and 3 to Chengi.She has narrated the entire events in a vivid manner as we already stated.She has further stated that she was kept in the house of one woman at Chengi Fort and on the next day, when they took her in the same scooter to Chengi, police came and intercepted and rescued her.P.W.10 is the Inspector of Police at Chengi Police Station.He has further stated that when the accused 2 and 3 were found moving in M.O.1 Scooter, they were intercepted by the police and at that time, they have started running away, abandoning the scooter and the child.P.W.11, the then Judicial Magistrate No.II, Puducherry, has spoken about the Test Identification Parade conducted.According to him, P.W.9-Sangavi identified all the three accused during Test Identification Parade.P.W.12 has spoken about the investigation done and P.W.13 has spoken about the further investigation and his final report.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accused u/s.313 Cr.P.C., they denied the same as false.Their defence was a total denial.Having considered all the above, the Trial Court convicted the accused as detailed in the first paragraph of the judgment.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the appellants are before this Court.We have heard the learned Counsel appearing for the appellants and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and we have also perused the records carefully.The learned Counsel for the appellants would submit that in this case, except the evidence of P.W.8, there is no other evidence to prove the charges.For these reasons, according to the learned Counsel for the appellants, the appellants are entitled for acquittal.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Puducherry, would vehemently oppose this appeal.He would submit that though it is true that the family members of P.W.1 and others have turned hostile, the evidence of P.W.9 would be suffice to sustain the conviction.He would further submit that during the Test Identification Parade also, P.W.9 correctly identified all the three accused.Thus, according to the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants deserve to be confirmed.We have considered the above submissions.But, unfortunately, P.W.1 could not support the case of the prosecution, as according to him, he had forgotten the events, which took place 12 years before.Thus, the allegation that all these accused demanded ransom from P.W.1 for releasing the kidnapped P.W.9 has not been proved.P.W.9 has stated that as usual, she went to the school in the morning on 18.10.2002 and after the school time was over at 03.30 p.m., she came out of the school.Thus, P.W.9 has identified the 1st accused as the said person who took her from the school to the CD Shop.She has identified the 1st accused in the Test Identification Parade as well as during the trial also.We do not find any reason to reject the said identification made by P.W.9 on both occasions.According to the further evidence of P.W.9, in the C.D.Shop, two other persons were already lying in wait.Those two persons took her in the very same scooter to Chengi Kottai.She has identified the accused 2 and 3 as those two persons who took her to Chengi Kottai.Thus, the accused 2 and 3 have also been identified during Test Identification Parade and during the trial of the case.P.W.9 has further stated that she was taken to Chengi where they made her to wait for some time and took her to a house and they kept her there during night.P.W.9 was waiting for the parents to come.One of the accused gave a skirt and told her that it was given by her parents.The next day, the woman in the house shouted at the 2nd accused.Then, in the evening, they took again P.W.9 in the same scooter.It was only, at that time, the scooter was intercepted by the police, namely, P.Ws.10 and 12 and the girl was secured.This fact has been spoken by P.Ws.10 and 12 also.Thus, she was kidnapped and illegally confined by them.The learned Counsel for the appellants would submit that P.W.9's evidence cannot be believed as there are discrepancies.In this regard, we have to state that at the time when she was kidnapped, she was hardly aged at 8 years.After the arrest of the accused, the Test Identification Parade was conducted on 30.10.2002, at the earliest point of time.In that Test Identification Parade, P.W.9, correctly identified all the three accused as culprits.There is no evidence even to remotely infer that before 30.10.2002, P.W.9 would have been tutored to identify these three accused as the culprits.P.W.9 has got no enmity against the accused.After all, she was a child.Then, it was withdrawn by the Chief Judge, Puducherry, on 28.11.2006 and transferred to the file of the II Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Puducherry, for disposal.Thus, it was pending on the file of the learned II Additional Sessions Judge from 28.11.2006 onwards.Though the charges in this case were framed as early as on 28.07.2005, it was not known as to why it had taken about 11 years for the completion of the trial.This disturbed our mind.Therefore, we called for remarks from the learned II Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Puducherry, as to why there occurred such undue delay of 11 years for the disposal of the case.The learned II Additional Sessions Judge by Letter No.193/Jud/II ADJ/2016 dated 05.07.2016 has submitted to this Court that since the case properties were not received by the trial court for more than 9 years either from the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Puducherry or from the Additional Assistant Sessions Judge, Puducherry, the trial could not be commenced on time.The learned Judge has further stated that the properties have not been traced out so far.As a result, the accused have escaped from the punishment for the offence under Section 364-A of IPC.The Registry is, therefore, directed to hold a thorough enquiry into the above episode as to how the valuable property in a sensational case has disappeared and to take appropriate action.The Inspector of Police, Grand Bazaar Police Station, Puducherry.The II Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Puducherry.3.The Public Prosecutor, High Court,

that there are inconsistencies and material contradictions in the testimonies of the witnesses; that there are many loopholes in the investigation; that the santro car allegedly used by the appellant was identified by PW1 Surenderjeet Singh within 2 hours of the incident whereas the said car was seized by the officials of Police Station Maurya Enclave on 23.02.2009; that the alleged FIR is ante-dated and ante-timed; that prosecution has failed to bring on record the call record of the phone used for informing the police about the alleged incident; that the informer i.e. PW13 Surender Kumar Mishra was not cited as a witness to the memos and recoveries; that the weapon of offence i.e. Pistol could not be identified by PW1 Surenderjeet Singh, who is the sole eye witness of the incidence; that the bullets allegedly recovered from the body of the deceased were not produced before the learned Trial Court and were not exhibited and in this manner, the weapon of offence does not get connected with the offence; that the investigating agency has manipulated the case and the investigation Crl.Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 5 of 19 has not been conducted properly; that PW8 Maninder Singh and PW13 Surender Kumar Mishra are planted witnesses to implicate the appellant falsely in the present case.Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 5 of 19On the other hand, Mr. Feroz Khan Ghazi, learned counsel for the State opposed the appeal filed by the appellant and argued that it is a case of direct evidence and the prosecution has been able to prove its case beyond any shadow of doubt; that PW1 Surenderjeet Singh, husband of the deceased, being the eyewitness, saw the appellant firing three rounds of bullets at his wife.Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 6 of 19 become witness to the criminal proceedings or investigations and hence there are no public eye witnesses to the alleged crime and appellant cannot take benefit of faulty/defective investigation.Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 6 of 19We have heard learned counsel for both the parties and considered their rival submissions.In order to deal with the contentions of both the parties, it would be appropriate to examine the testimony of the material witnesses and documents.Learned counsel for the appellant contended that the appellant has been falsely implicated by the prosecution on the testimony of sole eye witness of the alleged occurrence is PW1 Surenderjeet Singh, who is husband of the deceased and since he is a highly interested witness, therefore, no reliance should have been placed on his statement.In a case, where conviction is based on the sole testimony of an eye witness, it becomes necessary to evaluate the truthfulness and reliability of the said witness.In the present case also, it needs to be examined whether the testimony of PW1 Surenderjeet Singh, who is the single witness to the incident can be relied upon.PW1 Surenderjeet Singh, deposed :""I am working as an electrician in A Block Market, Jahangir Puri.Accused Sanjeev Mahajan, now present in the court, was running a beauty parlour by the name Kohinoor Beauty Parlour at West Patel Nagar.My wife was working in the beauty parlour for the last 1-1 years before her death.She was working with accused on a 35% profit in the partnership.About 10-15 days before her murder, Crl.Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 7 of 19 she was not going to the parlour owing to the reason that our daughter was unwell.Accused made a telephone call to her to join her work in the parlour but my wife refused.He took us in the car on the pretext that he wanted to talk to us.Our daughter was also with us.I was sitting besides the driver seat in the car while my wife and daughter were sitting on the rear seat.The accused took the car to Jahangir Puri and from there, to KDR factory at G.T. Road.Accused stopped the car near the KDR factory and asked us to get down and go back to our house.When we got down from the car, accused Sanjeev Mahajan also got down and fired on my wife Pinki thrice from his pistol.My wife along with the child fell down and started bleeding and died at the spot.Accused then fled away towards by-pass with his car.I lifted my daughter.I got scared and rushed towards to the house of my in-laws at I Block, Jahangir Puri which was nearby to the spot.But, my in-laws were not present at the house and therefore I telephonically informed my father in law and then again came back at the spot.The PCR van had reached at the spot.Police had recorded my statement Exbt.PW-1/A which bears my signatures at point A. After about one and a half hour - two hours, the police officials asked me to indentify one car standing near Sunday bazaar, Pitam Pura.I went there and identified the car.Police enquired the name of the owner of the car.The body of my wife was rushed to BJRM Hospital for post-mortem.The body after post-mortem was handed over to me vide receipt Exbt.PW-1/B. My statement was recorded by the police regarding the identification body of my deceased wife which is Exbt.PW-1/C.

PW23 SI Ravinder had proved the arrest of appellant and the recovery of one loaded pistol with 6 live cartridges and a Arms Licence with bullets having marking ""KF 765"".Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 13 of 19On opening the parcel, one pistol 7.65 mm calibre bearing No. RP-129479, one test fire cartridge case and five 7.65 mm cartridges were taken out.These exhibits were already marked in case FIR No. 83/09, P.S. Crime Branch (FSL 2009/F-2386) as F-1 and A-1 to A-6 respectively.PW28 examined the exhibits and two 7.65 mm cartridges from laboratory stock were test fired through the pistol marked Ex.PW28 also stated that the said report Ex.PW28/B was correct and may be read as part of his evidence.Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 14 of 19Appeal No. 1349/2014 Page 15 of 19The parcels received in the FSL were intact.Individual characteristic of refilling marks present on bullet as stated above were found identical.PW28 proved his report as correct.PW17 Dr. K. Goel proved the post-mortem (Ex. PW17/A) on the body of the deceased which was referred by PW34 Inspector J.K. Sharma with alleged history of gunshot injuries.PW17 Dr. K.

Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017Appellants Preetam Dhakad and GhanshyamThese appellants were put for Identification, and the complainant in the Test Identification Parade, Ex. P. 4, could not identify these appellants.Therefore, it is held that the prosecution has proved the seizure of Silver Khangwari and Silver Kade from the possession of Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad 9 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 respectively.9 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017Now the pivotal question for determination is that whether the prosecution has established the identification of these articles.The complainant Gendibai (P.W.1), has stated that the articles were shown by Daroga in the Police Station and identification memo Ex. P.3 was prepared, whereas according to the prosecution case, the test identification parade for identification of seized articles was conducted by Ramcharan, Sarpanch Gram Panchayat Sujakhedi (P.W. 9).Ramcharan (P.W. 9) has not supported the prosecution case, and has stated that he was called in Police Outpost Jhagar, where the articles were handed over to the complainant by police and identification memo, Ex. P.3 was prepared by the police in the police station itself and his signatures were obtained.Thus, it is clear that the prosecution has failed to establish that the articles seized from the possession of the appellants Ghanshyam and Preetam were that of the complainant Gendi bai (P.W.1).There is no other evidence against the appellants Ghanshyam and Preetam.10 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 P.4, but again identified the appellant Purshottam in the dock.But the prosecution has failed to prove the identification of the Gold Tops for the reasons already mentioned while considering 23 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 the case of appellants Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad.Accordingly, it is held that although Gold Tops were seized from the possession of appellant Purshottam, but since, its identification could not be established by the prosecution, therefore, the seizure of gold tops loses its importance.However, in view of the fact that Purshottam was specifically named by the complainant Gendibai (P.W.1) in the F.I.R., Ex. P.1 which was lodged within a period of 4 hours, because the incident took place at about 3 A.M. in the night and the F.I.R. was lodged at 7:00 A.M., as well as that he was identified by the complainant in the Court, coupled with the fact that the ocular evidence of complainant Gendi bai (P.W.1) is supported by medical evidence, Ex. P.6 and P.8, it is held that the prosecution has succeeded in establishing the guilt of the appellant Purshottam beyond reasonable doubt.The Trial Court has convicted the appellant Purshottam for offence under Section 394/397 of I.P.C. Since, the complainant Gendibai (P.W.1) had suffered dismemberment of her teeth, therefore, the conviction of the appellant Purshottam for offence under Section 397 of I.P.C. is affirmed.Accordingly, the appellant Purshottam is held guilty of committing offence under Section 452 and 397 of I.P.C.So far as the question of sentence is concerned, the minimum sentence for offence under Section 397 of I.P.C. is seven years.In default, the appellant Purshottam shall undergo the rigorous imprisonment of 6 months.The appellant Purshottam is on bail.His bail bonds are hereby cancelled.He is directed to immediately surrender before the Trial Court for undergoing the remaining jail sentence.The appellant Preetam Dhakad is on bail.His bail bonds are discharged.The appellant Ghanshyam is in jail.He be released if not required in any other case.Accordingly, the judgment and sentence judgment and sentence dated 27-3-2015 passed by IVth Additional Sessions Judge, Guna in S.T. No. 26/2014 is hereby affirmed with above mentioned modifications.The judgment and sentence dated 29-7-2017 passed by 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Guna in S.T. No. 26/2014 and dated 12-5- 2015 passed by IVth Additional Sessions Judge, Guna in S.T. No. 26/2014 are hereby set aside.The appeal filed by appellant Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad are allowed and appeal filed by appellant Purshottam is partially allowed.","['Section 397 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 394 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Based on the evidence laid, the trial court has found the accused guilty and convicted them and sentenced as stated above.The learned counsel for the appellants/accused assails the Judgment on the following grounds:There are several contradictions and embellishments in the prosecution case.The appellants and the witnesses are strangers and that nothing had been stated about their identity.The occurrence is stated to have been committed in a locality where there was several persons during noon time.There has been a great delay in the complaint being given to the Police Station and the FIR reaching the Court, more particularly, the printed FIR having reached the Court only after the arrest of the appellants/accused creating a grave doubt in the prosecution case.The manner in which the arrest is stated to be effected greater suspicion and doubt volumes in the prosecution case.The evidence with regard to the arrest of the accused is unbelievable.The identification of the accused for the first time in Court leads to suspicion.It is highly strange that P.W.2 states that he knows the appellants/accused and has not stated anything about them during the course of investigation.The evidence of PW1 with regard to the person who had threatened her is doubtful.Though the witnesses have been stated to be examined on the same day, these statements have reached the Court after several days.The Trial Court did not take into consideration the contradiction evidences of PWs1 and 6 (Investigation Officer) regarding the arrest of the appellants/accused.Further, PW 2 & PW 3 could not have been the witnesses to the occurrence, since their statement with regard to PW2 running a mechanic shed and PW 3 having come to see his two wheeler cannot be believed and as per the observation Mahazar, no such mechanic shed was available and that as per the evidence of PW1, there were other public in the locality and nobody has been examined by the Police.State Rep. by the Inspector of Police, B-4, Baluchetty Chatram Police Station, Kancheepuram District.He would further submit that the reason for the delay in giving the complaint has been explained by PW1 and the reasons for the delay is also reasonable.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor further submitted that the non holding of the identification parade is not a fatal to the prosecution, since the appellants / accused were arrested on the next day and that the PW1 had identified them in the Police Station and had also identified them in the Court.The learned counsel for the appellants/accused would submit that PW1 is not clear as to who is the person who snatched her chain and who is the person who drove the two wheeler and would submit that the trial Court erred in convicting the appellants/accused based on the unconvincing evidence.As per the evidence of PW2 and PW3, it was near a mechanic shop and PW2 and PW3 who were in the mechanic shop were stated to have witnessed the occurrence.Strangely, in this case none of the witnesses havehttp://www.judis.nic.in 10 informed the Police about the occurrence immediately, despite the occurrence happening in a busy locality during day time.The complaint has been preferred to the Police on the next day.While analysing the evidences of PW1, PW2, and PW3, nothing had been stated about the identity or any identification marks regarding the appellants / accused.As per the evidence of PW1, after giving a complaint to the respondent at 9.00 a.m, she had gone back home and that she was asked to come back only at 4.00 p.m and when she had gone there, she had seen both the accused in the Police station and that she had identified them and that the respondent Police had shown her chain and that she identified the chain and the chain was returned to her on the same day.Of course CCTV footage has now become a very important tool for the Police which helps them in a long way in crime detection but this is a facility which is not available in all nook and corner of the State.The Police personnel needs to be educatedhttp://www.judis.nic.in on the availability of a provision under Cr.P.C. For identifying the 12 accused person.By following this procedure, the element of doubt that arises about identity of the accused for the first time in the Court after a very long gap, can also be avoided.”The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court IV , Chennai.2.The Section Officer, Criminal Section, High Court, Madras.http://www.judis.nic.in 13 A.D.JAGADISH CHANDIRA,J.vum Crl.A.Nos.647 and 769 of 2010http://www.judis.nic.in",['Section 397 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

PW-10 Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi, Chief Medical Officer, BSA hospital is the doctor who initially attended to the deceased on 29.03.2008 at 12:15 a.m. He testified that the patient had disclosed that her father-in-law and mother-in-law had poured kerosene oil on her and then put her on fire with a match-stick.She also informed the doctor that her husband was not present at home at the time of the incident.PW-10 testified that on examination, the patient (deceased) was found to be conscious, oriented and crying.Her blood pressure could not be recorded due to burns present all over the body.Her pulse was found not palpable.Smell of kerosene oil was present on the body.He gave the percentage of burns to be about 95 per cent.He proved the MLC Ex.PW-10/A.He gave the details of the treatment given to the deceased.He gave the area of burns to be about 90 per cent.Pulse of the patient was found by him to be feeble.He deposed about the Crl.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 4 of 19 various injections i.e TT, IM Stat, Tramadol, I.V. etc. administered to the deceased.He deposed that the patient was cleaned and dressed with an ointment, silver sulpha diazin.The patient was then referred to Safdarjung hospital for further management.He proved his endorsement at point Y to Y on MLC marked as Ex.PW-10/A.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 4 of 19PW-15 Dr. Jatinder was working as Junior Resident in Safdarjung hospital.He treated the patient when she was admitted in Safdarjung hospital.Raj Mohan Trivedi.He then deposed about recording of the statement of Sadanand after the death of Bobby and after registration of this case.PW-23 SI Mahabir Singh deposed that on 28.03.2008 on receipt of DD No.47, (Ex.PW-14/A) he reached the spot i.e. J-42 Vijay Vihar, Phase-I along with constable Rajesh.Head constable Ravidutt and constable Satpal were already present there.He was informed that the injured had already been removed to BSA hospital.He testified that there was a smell of kerosene coming from the room of the deceased on the ground floor, burnt match sticks, match box and some burnt pieces of cloth were also lying in the room.Some water was found on the floor.He deputed HC Ravidutt and Ct.Satpal to remain present at the spot.He informed the Executive Magistrate Mr.Sukhbir Singh (PW-16) about it and requested him to reach the hospital.He also reached BSA hospital and collected the MLC of Bobby.PW-16 also reached the hospital who consulted the doctor about the fitness of the injured to make a statement.The statement Crl.He got the spot inspected by the crime team; photographs Ex. PW2/1 to 6 were taken.He prepared the site plan Ex.PW-23/C, seized various articles from the spot and sealed them with a seal of MS.When cross examined, he deposed that he wanted to see the opinion of the surgeon before the patient could be referred to Safdarjung hospital.To the same effect is the testimony of PW-11 Dr. Nitin Lashkary.He deposed that initially the patient was examined by Dr.Raj Mohan Trivedi (PW-10).The pulse of the deceased, by the time he examined her and made a note on the MLC, had become feeble from not palpable.Thus it is clear that the patient was examined and managed by a team of doctors and not examined by any particular doctor.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 10 of 19Of course PW-4 gave information to PW-6 about the deceased sustaining burn injuries and her removal to the hospital.Therefore, after leaving his rickshaw at his house PW-6 proceeded to PP Vijay Vihar through the place of incident.He came to know only at the police post that Bobby was removed to BSA hospital by the PCR van.Thus even if PW-6 had hurried and made his best efforts it would have been difficult for him to have reached BSA hospital before 1:30 a.m.It is argued by the learned counsel for the appellants that PW-23 SI Mahabir has stated in his cross-examination that he reached the hospital at about 12:30 a.m. and collected the MLC within ten minutes which was retained by him.The MLC contains signatures of PW-6 regarding the receipt of articles (Jewellery) by Sadanand which shows that Sadanand was present in the hospital by 12:40 a.m.This contention raised on behalf of the appellants is misconceived.As per the endorsement made at the top of the MLC Ex.G.P. MITTAL, J.They impugn the judgment and order dated 18.12.2010 whereby the appellants were convicted for the offence punishable under Crl.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 1 of 19 Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and were sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.10,000/- each.In default of payment of fine they were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a further period of six months each.Case was registered u/s 498A/302/120B IPC.""A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 2 of 19A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 3 of 19On reaching the hospital he met the SDM.The SDM informed him that he had already recorded her (the deceased) statement and that he could meet her.PW-6/A made by him to the SDM.He deposed that the deceased was declared dead at about 7.45 a.m. He proved the death report as Ex.PW-15/B.PW-16 Mr.Sukhbir Singh Executive Magistrate of the area deposed that on receipt of the message regarding the admission of a lady with burn injuries in BSA hospital, he reached there.He obtained the fitness certificate from Dr.Raj Mohan Trivedi and recorded statement Ex.PW16/A of the deceased.He obtained endorsement on Ex.PW-10/B of Dr.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 5 of 19 recorded by the Executive Magistrate was marked to him (PW-23) for further inquiry by the SHO.He made an endorsement on Ex.PW-23/A on the basis of which the present case was registered.He deposed that on receipt of the information of death of Bobby in the morning of 29.03.2008, vide DD No. 13, further investigation of the case was entrusted to Inspector Raj Singh.Inspector Raj Singh PW-22, second IO of the case corroborated the testimony of PW-23 SI Mahabir Singh.He deposed about the arrest of the appellants and recorded statement of Parmanand, Raj Kumar and other family members.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 5 of 19On close of prosecution evidence, the appellants were examined under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to enable them to explain the incriminating evidence which has appeared against them.The appellants were completely silent as to where they were at the time of the incident.Admittedly immediately after the incident they did not accompany the deceased to BSA hospital.The appellants took up the plea that the deceased was under depression as she was not able to conceive any child and, therefore, committed suicide.They denied that there was any demand of dowry, harassment or cruelty meted out to the deceased.They denied that they set Bobby on fire.They took up the plea that the dying declaration is false.She (Bobby) never made any dying declaration to Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi.They, however, showed their ignorance if the statement (dying declaration Ex.PW-16/A) was recorded by PW-16 Executive Magistrate Sh.Sukhbir Singh (PW-16).They showed their willingness to produce defence evidence but did not produce any.Along with appellants, Kamlesh (deceased`s husband) and Santosh (Kamleshs brother) were also challaned by the police.Santosh was, Crl.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 6 of 19 however, discharged by order dated 01.06.2009 passed by the learned ASJ.Accused Kamlesh was acquitted by the impugned judgment on the ground that the deceased was completely silent about the allegation of harassment or cruelty for not meeting dowry demands.The learned ASJ held that had there been any such demand or harassment, the deceased would have spoken about the same.Thus the evidence of Sadanand PW-6 (father of the deceased) with regard to harassment and demand of dowry without corroboration from the dying declaration or any other evidence was disbelieved.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 6 of 19The dying declaration recorded on the MLC Ex.PW-10/A by PW-10 Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi and Ex.PW-16/A by PW-16 Executive Magistrate Sukhbir Singh were held to be consistent, voluntarily, true and reliable by the learned ASJ.Thus relying upon the same the learned ASJ convicted the appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and sentenced them as aforesaid.We have heard Mr.Shailesh Kumar learned counsel for the appellants and Mr. Jaideep Malik learned APP for the State and have perused the record.He recorded the history of the patient (the deceased) as under:""Allegedly father-in-law and mother-in-law of Bobby poured kerosene oil on her and then put her on fire with Crl.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 9 of 19Learned counsel for the appellants criticized the testimony of PW-10 on the ground that as per the MLC, the deceaseds BP was not recordable and her pulse was not palpable and thus it could not be said that the patient was fit to make the statement.He deposed that treatment of Bobby was given by a team of doctors consisting of two JRs and one SR Surgeon present in the Casualty.He added that the pulse and blood pressure were checked by him (PW-10) as well as by JRs.PW-10 stated that he was a coordinator in the emergency.He stated that when the patient was brought, she was examined by him and simultaneously the surgeon had also come and examined the patient.It has been urged by the learned counsel for the appellants that PW-6 Sadanand (father of the deceased) got the information about the incident from PW- 4 Raja Ram.PW-10/A by PW-10, Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi small articles of jewellery were removed by PW-10 from the body of Bobby and handed over to the IO.These articles were not handed over by PW-10 to PW-6 Sadanand.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 11 of 19The alleged history of Bobby, the fitness certificate and removal of jewellery articles are all in the hand writing of PW-10 Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi.Of course a suggestion was put to PW-10, PW-11, PW-9 and PW-16 that if the pulse is not palpable the patient cannot make any statement.This suggestion was refuted by each of the doctors.The certificate of fitness has been given by PW-10 Dr Raj Mohan Trivedi initially on the MLC Ex.PW-10/A and then on the statement Ex.PW-16/A at point Ex.PW-10/B.Though the pulse was initially recorded as not palpable but later it had improved to be feeble as per endorsement Y to Y on Ex.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 12 of 19Thus the dying declaration recorded Crl.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 13 of 19 by PW-10 shows that the deceased had informed PW-10 that she was set ablaze by her father-in-law and mother-in-law after pouring kerosene oil on her.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 13 of 19As stated above, the condition of the patient improved a little after she was administered certain injections etc. as senior resident recorded that the patient was oriented/obeying to verbal commands and the pulse was feeble.PW-16 Executive Magistrate Sukhbir Singh reached hospital at 1:00 a.m. on 29.03.2008 and recorded the statement Ex.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 14 of 19 injuries.We have gone through the MLC Ex.PW-10 Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi stated in his examination-in-chief that he had declared the patient fit for statement by his endorsement (Ex.PW10/B).On the statement Ex.PW-16/A Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi was subjected to a very lengthy cross-examination regarding the condition of the patient.PW-10 denied the suggestion that the deceased died due to cardiac arrest because at the time of her admission in BSA hospital her pulse was not palpable.PW-10 stated that if it was so, the deceased would have died in BSA hospital itself.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 14 of 19On the statement Ex.16/A , PW-10 made an endorsement that ""patient was conscious and oriented all the time during the time above statement was taken"".PW-16/A was recorded.PW-16/A of the deceased but the statement just runs into a half hand written page and is a brief statement.In State of Maharashtra v. Sanjay (supra) apart from the third dying declaration running into two typed pages, there were also variations in the three dying declarations and the third one giving minute details appeared to be manipulated.Here the two dying declarations are consistent.The first one made to Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi is just a two line statement whereas the second statement made to the Executive Magistrate runs into hand written page.Both are consistent and the second one corroborates the first statement.again said, he was a government official).""A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 16 of 19It has come in the evidence of PW-16 that the statement was recorded by a police officer on his dictation.PW-23 SI Mahabir Singh stated that he recorded the statement Ex.Thus PW- 10 was right when he stated that it was recorded by a person who was in police uniform.Of course a suggestion was given to PW-16 as also to PW-23 that the endorsement at point B of Ex.PW16/A was obtained from the Executive Magistrate later on but we are not inclined to believe the same.By endorsement at point B the statement was marked to SHO who immediately marked it to PW-23 SI Mahabir Singh for necessary action.The FIR was recorded on that very night at 2.00 a.m. It is not believable that without obtaining the endorsement of the Executive Magistrate PW- 23 SI Mahabir Singh would make a mention thereof in the rukka for recording the FIR.Otherwise also we do not find any reason to disbelieve the document Ex.PW-16/A was recorded by Executive Magistrate after obtaining the fitness certificate from PW-10 Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi who was present throughout the recording of the statement of the deceased.Thus the statement Ex.PW-16/A is not only consistent and corroborative to the first statement given to the doctor at the time of admission and recorded on the MLC Ex.PW-10/A but it meets all the tests of it being properly recorded after the Magistrate was satisfied that the patient was fit to make the statement.The statement is not very long but it contains all the details as to how the appellants had poured kerosene oil on her and appellant Parmanand had lit the match stick and set her on fire.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 17 of 19It is pleaded by the learned counsel for the appellants that the deceased had suffered 95 per cent burns still the thumb impression obtained on the statement Ex.PW-16/A shows the ridges on the right thumb impression.Sukhbir Singh (PW-16).In our view the two dying declarations are true and voluntary.The first dying declaration was very spontaneous and was made to the doctor immediately at the time of admission by the deceased herself.The deceased could not even know the purpose of the doctor recording the history and, therefore, there was nothing which could have impelled the deceased to make a false statement.As stated earlier the first statement is corroborated by the Crl.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 18 of 19 second statement Ex.PW-16/A recorded by the Executive Magistrate.Under these circumstances we see no reason to reject the dying declaration recorded by PW-10 Dr. Raj Mohan Trivedi, on MLC marked as PW-10/A and second dying declaration Ex.PW-16/A recorded by PW-16 Executive Magistrate Sh.Sukhbir Singh.A Nos.311/2011 & 309/2011 Page 18 of 19The learned Additional Sessions Judge rightly convicted the appellants relying on the two dying declarations.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal

+"a)P.W.1 is the husband of P.W.2. P.W.3 is the brother of P.W.2. P.W.4 isalso the resident of Kombadi village.The appellant/accused and the otheraccused, in whose respect the case was split up, by name Chinnasamy, wereinvolved in prohibition cases registered by the Maniyachi Police station.Two months prior to the occurrence, theaccused/appellant has stolen Rs.300/- from the shop of one Srinivasan and a casewas registered by the respondent police station.From that time onwards, theaccused/appellant was absconding.Donations were collected for the festivaloccasion in the temple at Kombadi village by the other accused Chinnasamy, whowas the Nattamai in the village.In the meeting convened, accounts were demandedby P.W.1 and others.The said Chinnasamy refused to hand over the accounts.The next day, on 21.11.1992 atabout 8.30 a.m., P.W.1 was reaping grass in the nearby field.When P.Ws.2 and 3and others were inside the house, the deceased Suseela was playing in front ofthe house.At about 9.00 a.m., P.Ws.2 and 3 and others heard the distressing cryof the child.They came outside and witnessed the accused taking the child onhis shoulder along with aruval in his hand and was running.Further, they raisedalarm.At that time P.W.1, who was in the field, also turned and saw the accusedwith the child.When all of them were chasing the accused, the accused cut thechild indiscriminately with the aruval and caused the death of the child.Theaccused, leaving the dead body, fled away from the place of occurrence.d)P.W.1 went to the respondent police station at about 12.30 p.m., whereP.W.7 was the Sub Inspector of Police, to whom P.W.1 gave Ex.P.5, the F.I.R. was despatched to the court.Onreceipt of the copy of the F.I.R., the Inspector of Police one Manoharan, whowas attached to the respondent police station, took up the investigation.Duringinvestigation, he died and hence, P.W.11, Manoharakumar, the Inspector ofPolice, after perusing the case records, gave evidence on behalf of him also.e)The said Investigator took up the investigation, proceeded to the spot,made an inspection in the presence of the witnesses and prepared Ex.P.7, theobservation mahazar and Ex.P.13, the rough sketch.He conducted inquest on thedead body of the deceased in the presence of the witnesses and panchayatdars andprepared Ex.P.14, the inquest report.He recovered material objects from theplace of occurrence, namely M.O.6, bloodstained earth and M.O.7, sample earth.The dead body was sent to the Government Hospital, Ottapidaram for the purposeof post-mortem along with the requisition.f)P.W.5, the Doctor attached to Ottapidaram Government hospital, onreceipt of the requisition, has conducted autopsy on the dead body of thedeceased.He has issued Ex.P.3, the post-mortem certificate, wherein he hasnarrated the injuries found on the dead body and has also opined that thedeceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhage due to the injuriessustained on her.g)Pending Investigation, the accused was arrested on 12.12.1992 at about7.30 p.m. in the presence of the witnesses.At that time, he gave confessionalstatement, which was recorded by the Investigating Officer.The admissible partof the same was marked as Ex.Following the same, the accused producedM.O.1, aruval, which was recovered under a cover of mahazar in the presence ofthe witnesses.The accused was sent for judicial remand.The dead body was subjected to post-mortem by P.W.5,the Doctor.(The judgment of the court was delivered by M.CHOCKALINGAM, J.) This criminal appeal has arisen from the judgment of the Fast Track CourtNo.1, Tuticorin made in S.C.No.282 of 2005, whereby the accused/appellant stoodcharged under Section 302 IPC, tried and found guilty as per the charge andawarded with life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs.2000/-, in default toundergo one year R.I.2.The short facts necessary for the disposal of this appeal could bestated thus:P.1, the report, onthe strength of which, a case came to be registered in Crime No.409 of 1992under Section 302 IPC.All the material objectsrecovered from the place of occurrence, from the dead body of the deceased andM.O.1, aruval recovered from the accused were sent for chemical analysis by theForensic Science Department.P.19, the Chemical Analyst's report and Ex.P.20,the Serologist's report were received.On completion of the investigation, theInvestigating Officer has filed the final report.i)The case was split up in respect of one Chinnasamy, against whom thecase was registered under Section 302 r/w S.109 IPC.The case was committed tothe court of sessions and necessary charges were framed.In order tosubstantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 11 witnesses and relied on 20exhibits and 7 M.Os.On completion of the evidence on the side of theprosecution, the accused was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. as to theincriminating circumstances found in the evidence of prosecution witnesses,which he flatly denied as false.No defence witness was examined.The trialcourt, after considering the submissions made and perusing the materialsavailable, took the view that the prosecution has proved the case beyondreasonable doubt and found the accused/appellant guilty and awarded punishment,which is the subject matter of challenge before this court.3.The learned counsel for the appellant, in his sincere attempt inassailing the judgment of the court below, made the following submissions:a)The prosecution has failed to explain an inordinate delay in registeringthe case and also sending the F.I.R. to the nearby Magistrate Court.Theoccurrence has taken place at 9.30 a.m., but the information was given to thepolice only at 12.30 hours and thus, there was an inordinate delay of threehours.Though the case was registered at 12.30 hours, the F.I.R. has reachedthe court at 6.15 p.m. and thus, there was a delay of nearly 6 hours.This wasalso not explained.b)Further, no specific motive is made against the appellant/accused.All the motives wereavailable only against Chinnasamy, against whom the case was registered underSection 302 r/w S.109 IPC, but he was acquitted of the charges, disbelieving theevidence of the very same eyewitnesses.Hence, the lower court should have takenthe same yardstick in respect of the appellant also and should have acquittedthe appellant.But, it has failed to do so.c)The learned counsel would further add that though the prosecution wouldclaim that the weapon was recovered on the confession made by the accused, itwas sent for chemical analysis after a period of 2 years.The ChemicalExaminer's report would reveal that no human blood was detected.Under thesecircumstances, it would be quite clear that the prosecution has not proved thecase beyond reasonable doubt.d)There was a meeting convened, demanding the accounts in respect of thedonations made for the temple festival and there was a refusal by Chinnasamy.But, nowhere in the complaint, it was found.Further, two cases in Crime Nos.408 and 410 of 1992 were registeredagainst the appellant, but these are all nothing, but foisted against theappellant in order to implicate him in the offence.Hence, P.W.1 has givenexaggerated version.So far as the scene of occurrence was concerned, theprosecution has come forward to state that the child was playing in front of thehouse of P.W.1 and the accused took the child from that place and the occurrencehas taken place away from that place.But, when the Investigating Officerprepared the sketch, he has not mentioned the place where-from the child wastaken.Had the child not been taken from the place where it was playing, asalleged by the prosecution, P.Ws.2 and 3 could not have seen the occurrence atall.Hence, their evidence should have been rejected by the trial court.He has issued Ex.P.3, the post-mortem certificate, wherein he hasopined that the deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhage dueto the injuries sustained.The fact that the child died out of homicidalviolence was never questioned by the appellant at any stage of proceedings.Hence, without any impediment, it could be recorded so.6.In order to substantiate the charges levelled against theaccused/appellant that it was he, who attached the child and caused her deathinstantaneously, the prosecution rested its case on the evidence of P.Ws.1 and2, the parents of the child and P.W.3, the brother of P.W.2. P.W.3 has turnedhostile.But, the prosecution had to its advantage the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2.From the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2, it would be quite clear that in the past,number of cases were registered by Maniyachi Police Station against theappellant and one Chinnasamy also, since they were indulging in illicit arrackactivities.Itis also quite clear from the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 2 that the said Chinnasamyand the appellant were close relatives to each other.Further, the accused wasabsconding for a period of two months pursuant to the theft case registeredagainst him.According to P.Ws.1 and 2, on the date of occurrence, when P.W.2was inside the house, she heard the distressing cry of the child and she cameoutside and found the accused, taking the child in his shoulder with aruval inhis hand and the accused was running.When P.W.2 shouted along with the otherwitness P.W.3, P.W.1 heard the same.According to P.Ws.1 and 2, they werechasing the accused, but they could not reach him.Further, they witnessed theaccused cutting the child indiscriminately with aruval and causing her deathinstantaneously.Despite cross-examination in full, the evidence of P.Ws.1 and2, who are the eyewitnesses, remained unshaken.Now, the contentions put forthby the learned counsel for the appellant have got to be considered.Much commentwas made on the delay caused in registering the case and also despatching theF.I.R. to the court.The place of occurrence is situated 9 Kms.away from therespondent police station.The occurrence has taken place at about 9.30 a.m. Thecase was registered by P.W.7, the Sub Inspector of Police at 12.30 hours.Takinginto consideration the nature of the act committed by the accused and also thefact that the police station is situated 9 Kms.away from the place ofoccurrence, the delay of three hours, in the opinion of the court, is naturaland not deliberate.Further, after registration of the case, it has reached thecourt at 6.15 p.m. Thus, there was a delay of 5 to 6 hours in sending the F.I.R.to the court.away from the police station.Even assumingthat there was delay in sending the F.I.R. to the court, the court is of theconsidered opinion that no prejudice could have been caused to the accused,since there was no further embellishment or improvement in the case, in view ofthe facts and circumstances of the case as narrated above.8.In the instant case, the other contention put forth by the learnedcounsel for the appellant that the appellant had no motive at all has got to berejected.According to P.Ws.1 and 2, the appellant was indulging in illicitarrack activities along with Nattamai Chinnasamy and number of cases have beenregistered by Maniyachi Police Station against the appellant accused.Apart fromthat, when the evidence of P.W.1 was scrutinized, the facts that there wasdemand of accounts by P.W.1 and others and there was denial of renderingaccounts by the said Chinnasamy were spoken by P.W.1 during trial.9.The other contention of the learned counsel for the appellant/accused isthat in the instant case, there was delay in placing the material objects forchemical analysis and further, the Serologist's report did not contain humanblood.It is pertinent to point out that though there was delay noticed inplacing the weapon before the Forensic Department and also the report wasreceived that there was no human blood noticed, the court is of the consideredopinion that when direct evidence is available pointing to the act of theaccused, the court cannot reject the prosecution case, though the scientificevidence did not support the prosecution case.Further, Crime Nos.408 and 410 of1992 were registered by the respondent police station against the appellantherein.The contention that in order to show that the appellant was available on21.11.1992, these cases have been registered, cannot be accepted for the simplereason that in a given case where there is direct evidence available, there isno need for the police to register foisted cases.Further, so far as CrimeNo.408 of 1992 was concerned, the specific contention of the prosecution wasthat after the registration of the theft case, the accused was absconding andthereafter, he appeared a day prior to the date of occurrence.10.In the instant case, both the witnesses, namely P.Ws.1 and 2, saw thebarbarous act of the accused/appellant, in which he has attacked the child withthe deadly weapon like aruval and caused her death instantaneously.The act ofthe accused in taking the 4 years old child and killing the same has got to bedealt with sternly.The lower court was perfectly correct in finding theaccused/appellant guilty under Section 302 IPC and awarding life imprisonmentalong with fine and default sentence.Hence, the judgment of the lower courtdoes not require any interference either factually or legally.The criminalappeal must fail.Accordingly, this criminal appeal is dismissed.1.Additional

+"(Delivered on 18th day of May, 2018) Per J.P. Gupta, J :Criminal appeal no. 1174/2000, 1342/2000 and 2218/2000 have been filed against the judgment dated 20.4.2000 passed by Second Additional Sessions Judge, Rewa in S. T. No.44/97 whereby appellants Suresh and Bindawasi (criminal appeal no. 1174/2000) have been convicted for the offence punishable under Sections 304 Part-I and 323 of the IPC and sentenced to undergo RI for 10 years along with fine of Rs.1000/- each; in default of payment of fine further RI for 6 months and RI for 6 months, respectively and appellant / accused Ramadhar (criminal appeal no.1342/2000) has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 323 of the IPC and sentenced to undergo RI for 6 months and criminal appeal no. 2218/2000 has been filed on behalf of the State against the acquittal of the respondents / accused relating to the appeal of the charges under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 302, 294, 341, 323, 506 Part-2 of the IPC and prayed for convicting and sentencing the accused / respondents of the appeal including accused Bhuvneshwar Prasad, Ramesh Prasad, Bhimsen, Lalmani and Ramkhelawan Patel for the charges for which they were prosecuted.Criminal appeal no.2397/2007 has been filed by appellant Dinesh Prasad Patel against the judgment dated 31.10.2007 passed by Second Additional Sessions Judge, Rewa in separately S. T. No.44/97 whereby the appellant has been convicted for the offence punishable under Section 304 Part-I of the IPC and sentenced to undergo RI for 10 years along with fine of Rs.5000/- in default of payment of fine further RI for 1 year.In brief, the relevant facts of the case are that deceased Koushal Prasad Dubey and eye witnesses of the incident are close 3 relatives.There was a dispute between the appellants / accused persons and the complainant party with regard to the land which was earlier belonging to one Ramsakhi.On 5.7.1996 at about 7 am Rambahore (PW-1) along with his cousin Koushal Prasad Dubey (deceased) and Ansuiya Prasad, and Ganga Prasad (PW-3) and labourer Kalari Kol (PW-6) went to the disputed land situated at village Dihiya, Police station Baikunthpur for cultivating the field whereupon firstly appellants Suresh and Bindawasi came with lathi and assaulted Koushal Prasad, due to which, he fell down.Thereafter, appellant Dinesh came with farsa and assaulted Koushal Prasad and caused injury on his head.When Koushal Prasad made hue and cry, Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2), Ganga Prasad (PW-3) and Rambahore (PW-1) rushed towards him to rescue him and following them, accused Bhimsen, Ramesh Patel and Bhuvneshwar also came with lathi and assaulted them and during incident, other co-accused Ramadhar, Lalmani and Ramkhelawan also reached on the spot and assaulted them and wife of Koushal Prasad namely Vidyawati also reached on the spot, she was also assaulted and caused injury.Rambahore lodged FIR of the incident at Police Station Baikuntpur, District Rewa where crime no. 87/96 was registered for the offence under Sections 294, 341, 323, 506-B read with Section 34 of the IPC and injured Rambahore Sharma (PW-1), Ansuiya (PW-2) and Ganga Prasad (PW-3) were medically examined and condition of Koushal Prasad was serious.He was unconscious.During the investigation it was also found that accused Ramesh and Lalmani were also involved in the incident.After completion of the investigation, charge sheet was filed before the JMFC; Sirmour who on its turn committed the case to the court of Sessions.On transfer, the case was tried by Second Additional Sessions Judge, Rewa where the appellants / accused were charged for 4 the offence punishable under Sections 148, 302 and 302/149, 323, 323/149 (in four counts) and 294 and 506-B of the IPC.In the case appellant / accused Dinesh was absconded and learned trial Court vide judgment dated 20.4.2000 convicted and sentenced the appellants Suresh, Bindawasi and Ramadhar as mentioned earlier and acquitted other co-accused Ramesh Prasad, Lalmani and Ramkhelawan Patel of all the charges and Bhuvneshwar and Bhimsen were convicted under Section 323 of the IPC and sentenced to six months RI and acquitted of the other charge.Both the accused have not filed any appeal against their conviction and sentence.Later on, absconded appellant Dinesh Prasad was arrested and tried and vide judgment dated 31.10.2007 he was convicted and sentenced as mentioned earlier.The defence of the appellant / accused Ramadhar is that on the date of incident he was not present on the spot and other accused persons also took defence about their innocence and further claimed that they assaulted the deceased and the witnesses in exercise of right to defence of the property.Hence, they have not committed any offence.On behalf of appellants Dinesh, Suresh and Bindawasi, finding of the learned trial court have been challenged on the grounds that the prosecution has failed to establish its case beyond reasonable doubt as the statements of so called eye witnesses are full of contradictions and omissions and also against the medical evidence and the circumstances, in which, the incident took place also indicate that the appellants / accused persons assaulted in order to secure their possession over the land in exercise of their right to private defence but the learned trial Court has completely ignored this aspect.The appellants / accused cannot be convicted for commission of offence of culpable homicide as the prosecution has failed to establish that the appellants had any intention or knowledge to cause death of Koushal 5 Prasad and hardly they can be convicted under Section 325 of IPC.It is further submitted that the appeal filed on behalf of the State against the judgment of acquittal is without any merits.Learned trial court has very seriously and deeply appreciated the evidence coming to the conclusion of the acquittal of the acquitted accused persons namely Bhuvneshwar, Ramesh, Bhimsen, Lalmani and Ramkhelawan and there is no ground to convict them for the offence for which they have been acquitted.Hence, the appeal filed by the appellants / accused be dismissed and the appeal filed by State be allowed as the trial Court has committed grave error in acquitting the appellants / accused from the charges for which they were tried and all the acquitted accused persons be convicted and sentenced for the offence for which they were charged.Having considered the contentions of learned counsel for the parties and on perusal of the record, it is found that in the incident Koushal Prasad died on account of the injuries and Rambahore (PW-1), Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2), Ganga Prasad (PW-3) and Vidyawati (PW-5) also sustained injuries.In this regard, Dr. B. K. Garg (PW-7) has stated that on 5.7.1996 he being an Assistant Surgeon in Civil Dispensary, Baikuntpur examined the aforesaid persons and found following injuries on their person :-Lacerated wound scalp 1""x1/2""x1/4"" right side.2. Lacerated wound scalp ""x1/4""x1/4"" left side.3. Contusion on left shoulder 1x1/2""Simple injury caused by hard and blunt object.Duration was within 6 hours.Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2)Abrasion right fore arm labally middle 1/3 part 1/2""x1/4""Simple injury caused by hard and blunt object.Duration was within 6 hours.Ganga Prasad (PW-3)1. Contusion on right deltoid 1/2""x1/4""Simple injury caused by hard and blunt objection.Duration was within 6 hours.Vidyawati (PW-5)1. Contusion on right hand post 2""x1""Simple injury caused by hard and blunt objection.Duration was within 6 hours.Dr. Pramod Shrivastava (PW-11) has stated that on 11.7.1996 at Medical College, Jabalpur he examined dead body of Koushal Prasad near about 12 O'clock and found following injuries :-Partially healed stitched wound present over scalp on middle part of left parietal region placed anti-posteriorly "" label to sagital interior.Scalp is contused on right frontal parietal occipital region and temporal region on both side.Stitched wound is 3x1/2"" long.There is depressed fracture of right parietal bone leading to fracture and fragmentation of right partial bone in to 5 pieces.From this fracture the fracture line extending on both sides on lower 7 surface and leading to middle cranial fossa on both sides.Large extra-dural haematoma present on both parieto- occipital and left temporal region.Brain is contused over right parietal lobe upper part and it is located in upper part 1""x1/2""x1/2"".Liquefaction of brain started in this area.Fracture of left radius bone of fore arm in lower one third muscularly ward.Partially healed stitched wound in upper part of left leg over standing of tibia, vertical size 1 "" long.Period of death was within twenty four hours.Cause of death is cronio cerebral injuries.All the injuries were anti-mortem in nature and could be produced by hard and blunt object and was sufficient to cause death.The wife of the deceased, Vidyawati (PW-5) and Rambahore (PW-1), Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2) and Ganga Prasad (PW-3) have stated that on account of the injuries sustained in the incident took place on 5.7.1996 on their field Koushal Prasad died.Now the question is that whether all the accused persons constituted an unlawful assembly with common object to cause death of the deceased and in furtherance of their common object, all or some members of the assembly caused death of the deceased and also caused injuries to Rambahore (PW-1) Ansuiya (PW-2), Ganga Prasad (PW-3) and Vidyawati (PW-5).Having considered minutely the statements of Ramkishore (PW-4) and Kalari Kol (PW-6) it is found that they are not trustworthy witnesses.Learned trial court has also discarded their statements because Kalari Kol (PW-6) has stated that all the accused persons came together and started beating to Koushal Prasad.Same statement has been given by Ramkishore (PW-4) which is contrary to the prosecution story and Kalari Kol (PW-6) has also stated that he was suffering from blindness and he was not able to identify anybody.Similarly, Ramkishore (PW-4) is not natural witness and on the spot his presence is doubtful.He resides 3 kms.away from the place of incident.He has stated that with a view to getting shaved he was standing in front of the barber shop near the spot but this fact is missing in his police statement Ex.Thus, their testimonies are not creditable.Similarly statement Ex.D/3 Dying declaration of Koushal Prasad is also not trustworthy.But, Dr. B. K. Garg (PW-7) denied the fact that the same was recorded before his presence and on the statement, a note about fitness of Koushal Prasad was made under the pressure of Investigating officer.Therefore, the trial court has discarded this statement and this considered view of the trial court does not require any interference.So far as the statement of other eye witnesses are concerned, they have never stated that all the accused persons came together on the spot and started beating deceased Koushal.Rambahore (PW-1), Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2) and Ganga Prasad (PW3) have categorically stated that while the deceased was going for taking seed, accused Bindawasi, Suresh Patel armed with lathi and Dinesh armed with farsa restrained Koushal and started abusing him and accused Bindawasi assaulted Koushal with lathi on his head then accused Suresh assaulted Koushal with lathi then accused Dinesh 9 assaulted Koushal with farsa on his head and thereafter other accused persons Bhuvneshwar Prasad, Ramesh Prasad and Bhimsen came and when Rambahore (PW-1), Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2), Ganga Prasad (PW-3) tried to save the deceased, accused Dinesh assaulted Rambahore (PW-1) on his head and accused Bhimsen assaulted with lathi on his head and meanwhile accused Ramadhar, Ramkhelawan and Lalmani also came and started abusing them.Vidyawati wife of the deceased also came over there and lay on Koushal Prasad to save him then accused Bindawasi also beaten her with lathi.On making hue and cry, people gathered there and accused person fled away.Thereafter, Rambahore (PW-1), Koushal Prasdad, Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2) and Ganga Prasad (PW-3) went to the Police station where Rambahore (PW-1) lodged report Ex.P/1 and Koushal Prasad was sent to Rewa District Hospital, where he died.Vidyawati (PW-5) however has stated that all the accused persons assaulted his husband but it is clear that she reached on the spot later- on and after reaching her on the spot, nobody assaulted her husband.However, she was assaulted by accused Bindawasi, FIR Ex.P/1 has been lodged by Rambahore (PW-1) which also reflects that except accused Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh, other accused persons reached on the spot after falling down Koushal Prasad on account of the injuries caused by Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh.This fact categorically establishes that accused Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh at the time of assaulting the deceased were not member of unlawful assembly with other accused persons and they did not act in furtherance of common object of unlawful assembly.In the circumstances it is clear that accused Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh are responsible for causing death of the deceased they came there and assaulted simultaneously and caused injuries to the deceased which led to his death.As per opinion of the medical expert Dr. Pramod Shrivastava (PW-11), cause of death was head injury of the deceased which was sufficient to cause his death.However, he has not stated that the injury was sufficient to cause death 10 in ordinary course of nature and the death had taken place after 5 to 6 days of the incident.He has also stated that the injury was caused by hard and blunt object.Hence, medical evidence and ocular evidence is contradictory to each other.In such circumstances, the prosecution version cannot be accepted to be correct beyond reasonable doubt.But the aforesaid opinion has no significance as Dr. Pramod Shrivastava (PW-11) has examined dead body after 5-6 days of the incident during which injuries were stitched and were not in the condition to easily find out whether the injuries were caused by blunt object or sharp object.Hence, it cannot be said that there are material contradictions between the medical evidence and ocular evidence.The testimony of the eye witnesses with regard to causing injuries to Koushal Prasad by accused Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh is trustworthy and beyond reasonable doubt it establishes that they were author of the death of Koushal Prasad.Now, the question arises whether appellants Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh have committed murder of the deceased or culpable homicide.From the record it appears that the deceased and the accused persons are residents of the same village and close relative and there was a land dispute between them and the alleged incident took place when deceased Koushal Prasad and his companion tried to cultivate Raur field and the appellants assaulted the deceased and only one injury was fatal.There is no specific opinion of the medical expert that the injury was sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature and no instant death had taken place.The deceased survived 5 to 6 days after the incident.Hence, it cannot be said with all certainty that 11 accused Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh assaulted the deceased with a view to commit his murder.However, with all certainty it can be said that they all acted knowingly that by their act death may be caused and the head injury led to death caused by Dinesh; and accused Suresh and Bindawasi had common intention with him as they all came together with weapons and also assaulted him.Hence, all the aforesaid three accused persons may be held guilty for committing culpable homicide of deceased Koushal Prasad sharing common intention of them.The defence taken by the accused persons about exercising right of private defence of their property does not appear to be plausible as there is no evidence that the appellants were in exclusive possession of the land on which the incident was taken place.Hence, his testimony is meaningless with regard to possession over the disputed land.Therefore, the defence is not found to be proved and the learned trial Court has rightly ignored it.As discussed earlier, so far as other accused persons Ramesh and Lalmani are concerned, they reached on the spot after falling of deceased Koushal Prasad on account of sustaining head injury, therefore, they cannot be held guilty for forming unlawful assembly having common object for causing death of Koushal Prasad.Apart from it, the evidence about accused Ramesh and Lalmani with regard to taking part in the incident even later part is also not trustworthy.Their name has not been mentioned in the FIR Ex.Therefore, learned trial Court has not committed any error in holding that the prosecution has failed to prove their participation in the incident.So far as other accused persons Ramadhar, Bhimsen, Bhuvneshwar and Ramkhelawan are concerned, they reached on the spot separately without having common object or common intention, therefore, they can be held guilty 12 for their own individual act.Learned trial court has given benefit of doubt to accused Ramkhelawan as none of the witnesses have specifically mentioned that he caused injury to any member of the complainant party.We also do not find any cogent reason to interfere in the aforesaid finding.On careful reading of testimony of Rambahore (PW-1), Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2), Ganga Prasad (PW-3) and Vidyawati (PW-5) it is established that accused Dinesh also caused simply injury with farsa on the head of Rambahore (PW-1) and co-accused Bhimsen and Bhuvneshwar also caused simple injury with lathi to Rambahore (PW-1) and Ramadhar caused simple injury with lathi to Ansuiya (PW-2) and accused Suresh and Bindawasi also willfully caused injury with lathi to Vidyawati (PW-5).In view of the aforesaid discussions, appellants Suresh, Bindawasi and Dinesh are held guilty for offence punishable under Section 304 Part-II of the IPC for committing culpable homicide of Koushal Prasad and appellants Suresh and Bindawasi are also held guilty for commission of offence under Section 323 of the IPC.They were armed with lathi and have not caused fatal injury.Hence, appellants Suresh and Bindawasi are sentenced to the period already undergone by them in 14 jail as mentioned earlier with the fine of Rs.5000/- each, in default of payment of fine, further 6 months RI.Appellants Suresh and Bindawasi are on bail.Their bail bonds stand discharged.So far as other accused Persons Bhimsen and Bhuvneshwar are concerned, they have been found guilty for causing willfully simple injury to Rambahore (PW-1) and learned trial court has convicted them under Section 323 of the IPC and sentenced to undergo RI for 6 months but they have not filed any appeal and they have already undergone the aforesaid sentence during trial.Therefore, no further order is required to be passed in this regard.So far as accused Ramadhar is concerned, he is convicted under Section 323 of the IPC for causing simple injury to Ansuiya Prasad (PW-2) with lathi.With the aforesaid, the appeals filed by the accused persons are partly allowed and the appeal filed by the State is dismissed.A copy of this order be sent to the trial court and the jail authorities concerned for information and necessary action.2.5.4.20=a650f9cd964b96221568096ac01ab1bf0

+"(a) A1 is the wife of the deceased Shankar.When it came to the knowledge of the deceased., he not only warned her but also began to quarrel and beat her.Hence, A1 and A2 desired to finish him off.On the date of occurrence i.e., on 15.4.2003 at 11.30 hours when both A1 and the deceased were in the house, they were quarrelling.On seeing the deceased beating A1, A2 beat the deceased on different parts of the body.A1 took her husband inside the house and A2 left the place.After sometime, when A2 came there, A1 informed him that she has caused the death of her husband by strangulation.Immediately, A1 and A2 took the body of the deceased and buried the same nearby the lake bund.(b) On 18.11.2004, when P.W.1-Ward Councillor was in his office, A2 appeared before him and gave a confessional statement.It was also recorded by P.W.1 and P.W.1 took A2 to the Police Station and produced him before P.W.7, Inspector of Police of the concerned circle.P9 was despatched to Court.Following the confessional statement made by A2, A1 was arrested.(c) P.W.7, Investigating Officer took up investigation.A1 took the Police Officer and the witnesses to the place of burial and the dead body was exhumed in the presence of Tahsildar, P.W.5 and other witnesses.The investigating officer made an inspection and prepared an observation mahazar Ex.P5 in the presence of witnesses and drew a rough sketch Ex.The dead body was subjected to post mortem.Thereafter, A1 and A2 were sent for judicial remand.P.W.2 registered a case in Crime No.315 of 2004 under Sections 302, 201 r/w 34 I.P.C. and the express F.I.R.-Ex.(d) P.W.4 doctor who conducted autopsy on the dead body of the deceased has given the post mortem certificate Ex.P.3 wherein he has opined that the deceased would appear to have died due to effects of ligature strangulation.On completion of investigation, the investigating officer filed a final report.(e) The case was committed to the Court of Sessions.Necessary charges were framed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 7 witnesses and relied on 13 exhibits and 7 material objects.On completion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of the prosecution and they denied them as false.D.W.1 Durga was examined on the side of the defence.The trial Court heard the arguments advanced on either side and took a view that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and found A1 guilty under section 302 r/w 34 and 201 I.P.C. and awarded life imprisonment and 7 years rigorous imprisonment respectively along with fine and default sentences and found A2 guilty under section 201 r/w 34 I.P.C. and awarded 7 years rigorous imprisonment along with fine and default sentence.Hence, these appeals at the instance of the appellants.Advancing the arguments on behalf of the appellants, learned senior counsel made the following submissions.Learned counsel would submit that the prosecution had no direct evidence to offer.The occurrence has taken place on 15.11.2004, at that time, A2 was not present.(c) The case of the prosecution is that three days after the occurrence i.e., on 18.11.2004, A2 suddenly appeared before P.W.1-ward councillor.It is not the case of the prosecution that A2 already knew the councillor.Apart from that, a perusal of the confession statement would clearly indicate that it was only an exculpatory.Even A2 did not have any direct knowledge of the alleged incident i.e., the cause of death of the deceased Shankar.(d) Further, in the instant case, even according to the prosecution, A2 appeared before the councillor-P.W.1 during night hours on 18.11.2004 but the witnesses clearly reveal that the police came to the spot during noon hours and A1 and A2 informed the cause of death of A1's husband to the Police.Thus, the Police knew about the incident even much earlier.The story that A2 went to P.W.1's office and gave extra judicial confession and the same was recorded and a case came to be registered only thereafter, were all concocted for the case of the prosecution.Learned counsel would submit that the extra-judicial confession made by an accused pointing to the other accused, cannot be a substantive piece of evidence; that the Court in order to find out whether it lends assurance, should also look into whether other pieces of evidence are available.In the instant case, there is no supportive evidence available.In so far as A1 is concerned, the extra judicial confession alleged to have been given by A2 could not be acted to sustain conviction.Hence, A1 has got to be acquitted.(f) Added further learned counsel, as far as A2 is concerned, the trial Court found him guilty under section 201 r/w 34 I.P.C. and awarded punishment of seven years rigorous imprisonment.This part of the judgment cannot be sustained for the simple reason that the confession statement was alleged to have been made before P.W.1 by A2 during night hours on 18.11.2004, that too, to a stranger.Under such circumstances, A2 is also entitled for acquittal.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above contentions and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.It is not in controversy that the dead body of one Shankar was exhumed and examined in the presence of P.W.5-Tahsildar and other witnesses and following the inquest made, the dead body was subjected to postmortem.P.W.4 doctor who conducted post mortem has given his opinion through post mortem certificate Ex.P3 that the deceased would appear to have died due to effects of ligature strangulation.This was never disputed by the appellant either before this Court or before the trial Court.Hence, it could be safely recorded that the deceased Shankar died out of homicidal violence.The charges levelled against these appellants before the Trial Court was that A1 caused the death of her husband and A1 and A2 joined together and buried the dead body and that they have not only committed the crime of murder but also screened the offence.It is seen from the evidence of P.Ws 2 and 3, A1 developed illicit intimacy with A2 and when it came to the knowledge of her husband/deceased Shankar, he scolded her and beat her.On the date of occurrence i.e., on 15.11.2004, A2 beat the husband of A1 for torturing his wife and A1 caused the death of her husband.In order to prove the factual position, the prosecution had no direct evidence to offer but only the extra judicial confession alleged to have been given by A2 to P.W.1-Ward councillor.Even as per the prosecution case, A2 had no role to play in the alleged offence and it was only A1 who informed him that she caused the death of her husband.A2 has given extra judicial confession, few days after the date of occurrence, to P.W.1-Ward councillor who was a stranger.A perusal of the extra judicial confession would clearly indicate that he has not given any inculpatory statement regarding participation in the murder.The extra judicial confession alleged to have been given by A2 to P.W.1, a stranger will not in any way bind A2 and this is the only piece of evidence available before the trial Court.Barred this evidence, the prosecution has no evidence at all.Under such circumstances, at no stretch of imagination, conviction could be sustained on the said piece of evidence which has no evidentiary value at all.At this juncture, learned counsel brought to the notice of the Court that from the evidence available, it could be seen that police went to place of occurrence during noon hours on 18.11.2004, earlier before the confession statement given by A2 to P.W.1 but the police have not registered a case at that time.Hence, the extra judicial confession and the alleged arrest are all cooked up story.Under such circumstances, such evidence in the opinion of the Court cannot form basis to sustain the conviction as against A2 and it would be unsafe to sustain the conviction as against A2 on such evidence.The lower court has lost sight of the factual and legal position and has taken an erroneous view and passed the judgement of conviction and sentence which has got to undone only by setting aside the same.Accordingly, these criminal appeals are allowed, setting aside the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants by the court below.The appellants are acquitted of the charges levelled against them.The bail bonds if any executed by the appellants shall stand terminated and the fine amounts if any paid by them is ordered to be refunded to them.The Additional District & Sessions Judge, (Fast Track Court No.1), ChenglepetInspector of

Jaipur could proceed with thetrial of Criminal Case No. 2/68/Spl.as directed by theorder of the High Court., That case was initiated under asanction accorded' by the Central Government under section197 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and section 6 (1) (a)of the Prevention of Corruption Act and the appellants alongwith four civilians were charged, with offences punishableunder sections 120-B, 161, 165A. 4,20, 409 and 467-A of theIndian Penal Code and section 5(2) of the Prevention ofCorruption Act read with sections 5 (1 ) (a) and 5 (1 ) (d)of the Prevention of Corruption Act.The Special Police Establishment, Jaipur Branch on 27January, 1966 put up before the Special Judge, Jaipur acharge-sheet against the four appellants and four civilians.One of the civilians turned approver.The four appellantsthereafter made an application on 13 September, 1966 beforethe Special Judge that they were Commissioned Officers ofthe Indian Army and without complying with the provisions ofsection 549 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the Rulesthereunder called the ""Criminal Courts and Court Martial(Adjustment of Jurisdiction) Rules,"" the Special Judge couldnot proceed against the appellants in the criminal courtwhich under the Army Act is described as a civil court asopposed to court-martial under the Army Acts.A revision application wasthereafter moved in the Rajasthan High Court.The HighCourt of Rajasthan by order and judgment dated 20 December,1966 said that the Special Judge would proceed in accordancewith the provisions of Rules 3 and 4 of the Rules framedunder section 549 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.In compliance with the aforesaid order of the High Court,the Special Judge on 12 January, 1967 gave notice to theCommanding Officer, 123 Infantry Battalion (T.A.), Jaipurnotifying under Rule 4 of the Criminal Courts and CourtMartial (Adjustment of Jurisdiction) Rules, 1952 that theappellants along with three civilians were charged with theoffences as indicated above and charges would be ""framedagainst the accused after the expiry of a period of sevendays from the date of the service of the notice"".The Special Judge requested the Com-manding Officer to make a reference to the CentralGovernment within seven days failing which the Special Judgewould make a reference to the Central Government.TheSpecial Judge did not deliver the four appellants to theCommanding Officer.On 28 January, 1967 the Officer Commanding, 123 InfantryBattalion (T.A.), Jaipur wrote to the Special Judge that thenotice under Rule 5 of the Criminal Courts and Court Martial(Adjustment of Jurisdiction) Rules, 1952 served by theOfficer on the Special Judge by letter dated 16 January,1967 might be treated ,as cancelled.On 21 March, 1968 the appellants made an application beforethe Additional Special Judge, Jaipur that the CommandingOfficer acted illegally and without jurisdiction incancelling the earlier notice dated 16 January, 1967 and theCommanding Officer should have made a reference to the Chiefof the Army Staff.The appellants prayed that they might behanded over to the Commanding Officer in terms of the letterdated 17 January, 1967 issued by the Commanding Officerasking the Special Judge to deliver the appellants, to theArmy authorities.On 5 April, 1968 the Additional885Special Judge held that the Officer Commanding revised hisdiscretion and intimated by letter dated 28 January, 1967that the earlier notice dated 16 January, 1967 issued underRule 5 requiring delivery of the appellants to the Armyauthorities for trial by Court Martial was cancelled andtherefore the Special Judge would try the case and notdeliver the appellants to the army authorities.The appellants thereafter made an application to the HighCourt of Rajasthan under section 435 read with section 561-Aof ,the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing theproceedings before the Additional Special Judge and fordirecting the Special Judge to hand over the appellants tobe tried by Court Martial.The High Court by order dated 9September, 1968 dismissed the revision application anddirected the Special Judge, Rajasthan to conduct the trialexpeditiously, because sufficient time had elapsed since thesubmission of The charge-sheet by the Special PoliceEstablishment Branch, Jaipur.Counsel on behalf of the appellants contended that the orderof the High Court was wrong for 3 reasons : First, that theSpecial Judge having issued a notice on 12 January, 1967under Rule 4 of the Criminal Courts and Court Martial(Adjustment of Jurisdiction) Rules, 19,52 to the OfficerCommanding and having received a reply dated 16 January,1967 from the Officer, the Special Judge had nojurisdiction to deal with an application of the State madeon 17 January, 1967 and pass an

+"The Appellant was tried in S.C. No. 125 of 1988 on the file of the 8th Assistant Sessions Judge, Madras, under three heads of charges.The first charge was for an offence under Section 452, I.P.C., on the allegation that on 25-4-1986 between 9 and 10 A.M., when P.W. 1 Frederick Kanakaraj, the District Munsif, Ponneri, was travelling in an electric train from Madras Central to reach his work spot, on the way at Ennore Railway Station, the appellant due to prior enmity trespassed into the first class compartment, where P.W. 1, was seated, after having made preparation to attack him.The second charge was framed for an offence under Section 307, I.P.C. alleging that during the course of the same transaction, the appellant attacked P.W. 1, with a koduval knife by chasing the victim, who got down from the first class compartment No. 12252 and got into a second class compartment, to escape from the wrath of the appellant.The third charge was framed for an offence under Section 333, I.P.C. alleging that during the course of the same transaction, due to prior enmity, in that, P.W. 1, had decided against him in a case, caused grievous hurt to P.W. 1, a public servant and prevented him from discharging his duties as such public servant.The trial Judge found the appellant guilty of all the charges and sentenced him as hereunder : In respect of the first charge, the appellant was sentenced to under rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine of Rs. 1000/-, in default to undergo six months' rigorous imprisonment.Under charge No. 3, he was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine of Rs. 1000/-, in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months, all the sentences were directed to run concurrently.The facts which led to this prosecution need narration.Federick Kanakaraj, at the relevant time, when this incident had occurred, was working as District Munsif at Ponneri.On every working day he used to leave his residence at Kilpauk, Madras, on his motor cycle and reach the Central Railway Station.After parking his motor cycle at the Central Railway Station stand for motor cycles, he used to take an electric train to reach Ponneri.He had obtained permission from this Court, to stay at Madras and go for his work at Ponneri, daily.Every day he used to board the electric train leaving Madras Central Railway Station at 8.25 a.m. On the fateful day i.e., on 25-4-1986, after parking his motor cycle, he was unable to board the electric train which left Madras at 8.25 a.m., and therefore, had to necessarily take the next train, which left at 9.05 a.m. P.W. 1, boarded the first class compartment in which he was authorised to travel by virtue of the Season Ticket Ex.P. 2 obtained from the Railways.P. 4 is the token-cum-pass issued at the Central Railway Cycle Stand, for the parking of the Motor Cycle of P.W. 1, daily.Along with P.W. 1, P.W. 2, Ravichandran, an Engineer working in the Public Works Department at Gummudipundi and two policemen of whom one has been examined as P.W. 17, travelled in the same compartment.The appellant was known to P.W. 1, earlier.The appellant was known to P.W. 1, since he had deposed before him in the aforementioned proceeding.Nearly 2 1/2 months thereafter, when P.W. 1 was travelling on 25-4-1986 in the electric train, he was as usual perusing the morning newspaper, inside the compartment.He was seated adjacent to the window.P.W. 2 was seated opposite to him.The train had reached the Ennore Railway Station at or about 9.35 a.m. At that time the appellant got into the first class compartment, where P.W. 1, was seated, with a small brief case and stood near the entrance to the compartment.The appellant wished P.W. 1 which was reciprocated by the latter.Subsequently the appellant nearer the place where P.W. 1 was seated and suddenly, unexpected by P.W. 1, opened the brief case, removed a koduval and stating ""you have written a judgment against me.Even then, the appellant chased and the next cut aimed by the appellant fell on the right hand of P.W. 1, between the thumb and the index finger.P.W. 1, further ran and got into a second class compartment.The appellant, who followed P.W. 1, also got into the second class compartment and again attacked P.W. 1 with the Koduval.P.W. 1, attempted to ward of the cuts and in the process sustained injuries in the left and right hands.The right ring finger and half of the little finger were precariously hanging due to the cut injuries inflicted by the appellant.The public who were aghast and who had crumbled away, re-gathered and one of them threw a water drum at the appellant and another beat him with an iron rod.Due to the beating with the iron rod, the koduval held by the appellant fell down.Later several members of the public beat the appellant.Soon thereafter P.W. 3, Jayapalan, the Judicial Second Class Magistrate, Ponneri, P.W. 4, Rasish, the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Ponneri, P.W. 5 Munirathinam, the Assistant Public Prosecutor, Ponneri and P.W. 6, Susairaj, an Advocate normally practising at Ponneri and Susheela, not examined, an Examiner in the Court of P.W. 1, helped P.W. 1, to alight from the second class compartment.They boarded him in a tricycle, to take him to the Ennore Police Station.On the way, P.W. 21, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Ennore, came in a Mini Bus.He stopped the bus and put P.W. 1 in the Mini Bus, along with P.Ws. 3, 4 and 5 to be taken to the Government General Hospital, Madras, for treatment.P.W. 17, Rathinaswamy, a constable attached to the Railway Protection Force, Madras Central Railway Station, who was travelling along with another Railway Reserve-Constable 209 in the Compartment in which P.W. 1, was travelling, had witnessed the attack on P.W. 1 by the appellant, after the latter had uttered the challenging words incorporated earlier in this judgment.He has also spoken about the threat administered by the appellant, when he and others attempted to restrain him.P.W. 17 noticed P.W. 1, running towards the room of the station-master and the appellant chasing him.Regarding this incident, P.W. 17 informed the Inspector of Police, Central Railway Station, over the telephone.Meanwhile, the public had apprehended the appellant and had kept him in the platform, opposite to the waiting room.He had also noticed P.Ws. 3, 4 and 5 taking P.W. 1 out of the Railway Station.sound over the dorsal and outer border.Left index ulnar aspect 2"" mid finger over tip.1"" left forearm on dorsum 1"".He also opined, that the head injuries noticed by him, would have endangered the life of the person, if immediate and proper treatment had not been given.He had also advised X-ray being taken.Though the patient was conscious, alert and answered to questions, his condition was serious.Soon after blood groupong was done, blood transfusion was commenced.He was listed as a dangerously ill patient and was referred to various specialists, for further management.P.W. 22, Chinnaswamy, who was the Inspector, Railway Protection Force, Central Railway Station, received the message, of this occurrence, from P.W. 17 at or about 10 a.m. P.W. 2 informed P.W. 17 to guard the place till he reached the scene.A little later P.W. 17 informed over the telephone, that the injured District Munsif, Ponneri, had been sent in a police van by P.W. 21, the Sub-Inspector of Police, Ennore, for treatment to the hospital, at Madras, P.W. 22 directed P.W. 17 and Constable 209, to keep the apprehended appellant, in proper custody.The second telephonic message was also entered by P.W. 22 in the General Diary.Soon thereafter P.W. 22 proceeded to the Government Stanley Hospital, excepting the victim to be brought over to the said hospital.Since P.W. 1 had not reached the Government Stanley Hospital till 11.45 a.m., over the phone, he contacted the Central Railway Police Station and learnt that P.W. 1, had been taken for treatment to the Government General Hospital, Madras.P. 29 is the printed form of the F.I.R. P.W. 22 seized M.Os.3 to 5 the bloodstained pant, banian and shirt of P.W. 1 under a mahazar Ex.P. 28 at or about 12.25 p.m. Thereafter P.W. 22 proceeded to Ennore Railway Station.P.W. 21 the Sub-Inspector of Police, Ennore Police Station, received a message over the telephone, at or about 10 a.m. on 25-4-1986 from the Superintendent, Ennore Railway Station that a person, had cut the Ponneri District Magistrate, leading to chase and confusion and wanted him to go over to the Railway Station immediately.When the phone call was received by P.W. 21, Sundaramurthy, Sub-Inspector of Police, Arambakkam (Not examined) was with him.P.W. 21 took Sundaramurthy along with him in the Police mini bus TTH 2513 driven by Manoharan, not examined, and went towards Ennore Railway Station.As he was leaving for Ennore Railway Station, the same information regarding the incident, was conveyed to him by police constable, who had arrived there then.When the van had travelled about 100 metres, he noticed a tricycle coming in the opposite direction, in which P.W. 1, was being taken by P.Ws. 3 to 5 towards the Ennore Police Station.He found P.W. 1 with several cut injuries.P.W. 21 directed the Sub-Inspector of Police, Sundaramurthy, to accompany the injured, along with P.Ws. 3 to 5 in the mini bus, to the Government General Hospital.P.W. 4 told P.W. 21, that the assailant of P.W. 1, had been kept at the Ennore Railway Station.After the bus left, P.W. 21 went to the Ennore Railway Station.He found the appellant kept detained opposite to the first class waiting room.He found simple injuries on the appellant.At the main entrance to the station, he found a green drum.A little distance away he noticed an ash colour brief case.As little further away an aruval was found with bloodstains.P.W. 21 noticed bloodstains, near the board ""First Class Ladies"", on the Platform.Soon thereafter from the Ennore Railway Station, he telephoned to the Inspector of Police, Madras Central Railway Station.The latter directed him to keep guard and promised to go over there.At or about 2.15 p.m. P.W. 22 arrived at the Ennore Railway Station.P.W. 22, who had arrived, at the Ennore Railway Station, found the appellant in the custody of P.W. 21, P.W. 17 and another constable.P.W. 22 prepared the observation mahazar Ex.P. 7 in the presence of P.W. 11 and another.The scene sketch Ex.P. 30 was also prepared.He seized the bloodstained kuduval, the ash colour suit case containing a cooling glass and a hacksaw blade.He seized two issues of Murasoli dated 18-4-1986 and 24-4-1986, one issue of Dinamani dated 25-4-1986, four bits of bandages, certain notices, an identity card issued in favour of Balaraman, a dividend cheque for Rs. 90/- in favour of the appellant issued by Ashok Leyland, a comb, a prince blade and two more blades, white pant, a multi-coloured half-arm shirt, a kerchief and a ball-point pen.These articles were seized under the mahazar Ex.P. 8, attested by P.W. 11 and another.At 2.50 p.m. P.W. 10 seized the green colour drum M.O. 6 under the mahazar Ex.P. 11, attested by P.W. 13 and another.Under the mahazar Ex.Outside the Ennore Railway Station, he found a Rajdoot Motor Cycle M.O. 19 bearing registration No. T.M.Z. 615, which he seized under the mahazar Ex.P. 10, attested by P.W. 12 and another.On being questioned by P.W. 22, the accused gave a statement, which was recorded by P.W. 22, which was subsequently registered as Crime No. 130 of 1986 for offences under Sections 147, 148, 341, 324 and 336, I.P.C. at 4 p.m. Ex.P. 31 is the printed First Information Report.The accused in the said crime, are stated to be the public.She has opined, that the injuries found on the appellant, could have been sustained, in the manner and time alleged.She had not expressed any opinion in respect of the nature of injuries sustained by the appellant, and had stated that she would be in a position to offer any opinion only after seeing the case sheet and the subsequent treatment given to the injured at the Hospital.P.W. 22 went to the electric train yard along with the official Photographer, P.W. 16 at 5.30 p.m. on the same day.P.W. 22 also prepared an observation mahazar Ex.P. 32 attested by Narsimhan and sridar, not examined.P.W. 22 noticed bloodstains in both the compartments.He scrapped the bloodstains and seized them under the mahazar Ex.He also prepared the sketches of the railway compartments, Exs.M.O. 21 series are the photographs of the compartments.At or about 6 p.m. P.W. 22 went to the Government General Hospital over again.Due to the injuries sustained by him, even after treatment, P.W. 1, used to experience blackout in his eye-sight, sweating and incessant giddiness, resulting in his inability to perform his duties, as efficiently as done earlier.Apart from P.W. 17, P.Ws. 2 to 6 have also been examined as eye-witnesses.He had seen P.W. 1 running towards the station-master's room from near the first class compartment.He had also noticed a person chasing him and cutting him with a koduval.When P.W. 10 went to the room of the stationmaster to telephone about the stoppage of the train he found P.W. 1 with bleeding injuries on the neck and hands.P.W. 1 was seen by him being taken out of the railway station by a few persons.Before sealing he noticed a suit case inside the compartment which he handed over to a boy nearby with a direction to entrust it to the appellant.The occurrence was in broad day light, witnessed by several ocular witnesses.The assailant was caught, even while he was attacking the victim and kept under guard to be handed over to the investigating agency.The seizure, of the weapon of offence and certain other articles belonging to the appellant, was made at the scene soon thereafter.P.W. 17 had deposed that he got into the train along with another police constable 209 at Korukkupet, in the first class compartment where P.W. 1 was seated.P.W. 17 has fixed the presence of P.W. 2 in the said compartment.As soon as the train started at Ennore Railway Station, a person wearing a cement colour pant and shirt with an identical coloured suit case, got into the compartment and stood at the entrance.After the train, started moving, the person, who got into the train, offered his respects to P.W. 1, who reciprocated.P.W. 2 also joined P.W. 17 to restrain the appellant; but the appellant waving his koduval attempted to cut them.Meanwhile P.W. 1 go out of the compartment and went towards the station-master's room, shouting ""he is cutting"".After witnessing this part of the occurrence, P.W. 17, informed over the telephone from the office of the A.S.I. to P.W. 22, the Inspector of Police, Central Railway Station.P.W. 10 proceeded to the office of the Assistant Station Master to inform his higher authorities about the stoppage of the train at Ennore Railway Station.Under charge No. 2, he was sentenced to ten years rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs. 3000/-, in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months.The appellant had filed a redelivery petition in E.A. No. 384 of 1984 in R.C.O.P. No. 34 of 1982 on the file of the Court of the District Munsif, Ponneri.The appellant got in down from the compartment, chased P.W. 1, and attempted to cut with the koduval, on the back of his head.P.Ws. 3 and 5 had P.W. 1 admitted at the General Hospital, Madras, for treatment.P.W. 19 Dr. Rathinaswamy was working as a Casuality Medical Officer, on 25-4-1986, at the Government General Hospital.He examined at 10.30 a.m. the injured P.W. 1, who was alleged to have been attacked by a known person, with knife at Ennore Railway Station at or about 9.35 a.m. on the same day.The injuries noticed by him on P.W. 1, have been noted in Ex.P. 26, the accident Register, which is typed hereunder :-1) Incised wound over the left elbow on the outer aspect exposing the bone 12 c.m. x 5 c.m.2) Incised wound in the first web space of right hand up to metacarpus joint 3"".Right little and ring fingers severed at distal phalanx level and less of part of bail of the mid finger.3) Incised wound over the left frontal parietal region 6"" Bone deep.4) 3 incised wounds over left occipital region crossing each other, like H5"" each.5) Two incised wounds over right occipital region extending up to right ear 6"" x 3"".6) Incised wound over posterior aspect of right arm exposing triceps 3"" x 1"" near the elbow up to bone.Abrasion over the abdominal wall.7) Left hand incised wound over the hypothenar eminence 2"" disttal palmer crease 2"" thumb 7 cm.Immediately P.W. 22 proceeded to the Government General Hospital and found the injured P.W. 1, in Ward No. 1, undergoing treatment.P.W. 1, was conscious.Though the actual time of the recording of this statement has not been stated, it is clear that this statement marked as Ex.P. 6 was registered at or about 1 p.m. at Korukkupet Police Station in Crime No. 129 of 1986 for offences under sections 324, 326 and 307, I.P.C. Ex.P.W. 22 arrested the appellant.He reached Korukkupet Police Station at 4 p.m. Since P.W. 22 noticed injuries on the appellant, he forwarded him for medical examination with a memo to the Stanley Medical Hospital, Madras.She noticed certain injuries on the appellant, stated to have been caused due to an assault by 10 unknown persons with iron rods.The injuries noticed on the appellant by P.W. 23 form part of the accident register extract Ex.P. 36, typed down below.Lacerated injury 2"" x 1/2"" on the left Parietal region.Lacerated wound on the left index finger at M.P. joint level 2"" x 1"".Contusion right side forehead 2"" x 1"".Lacerated wound vertex 2"" x 1"".Bleeding from the nostrils and complains haemolysis.6. Complains pain on the left hand and the lacerated wound on the left parietal.P.W. 23 directed X-ray to be taken of the appellant.He was admitted as an in-patient.Later in the evening he recorded the statement of P.W. 17 and others.On the same night at Ponneri, he examined P.W. 3, the Judicial Second Class Magistrate.P.W. 22 forwarded the bloodstained articles seized during investigation, through the Judicial Second Class Magistrate, Ponneri, for Chemical analysis.Reverting back to some more facts, the prosecution has exhibited the judgment pronounced by P.W. 1 In E.A. No. 384 of 1984 as Ex.P.W. 1 who was admitted in the Hospital on the date of occurrence had to be an in-patient for a period of six months and one week.P.W. 18 the Head Clerk attached to the Court of the Judicial Second Class Magistrate, speaks about the bloodstained articles M.Os.2 to 5 seized during investigation having been sent for chemical analysis and report, to the laboratory and the receipt of the reports after analysis.Similar the Court forwarded the blood scrapings from the train M.O. 20 and the sample scrapings M.O. 21 from the compartment and bloodstained earth M.O. 17 and sample earth M.O. 18 to the laboratory for analysis and report.P. 24 and P. 25 are the reports of the Chemical Analyst and Serologist respectively.The blood found on the clothes of the accused, the koduval and the scrapings at the Ennore Railway Station and the train compartment, were found to be of human origin.At the time of discharge, P.W. 14 issued the certificate Ex.The discharge summary regarding the patient has been marked at Ex.The X-rays taken, 40 in number, have been produced as M.O. 20 series.He has deposed as follows :-""On the basis of the injuries sustained by the patient noted in the Accident Register at the time of his admission in the Hospital and also on the basis of the subsequent treatment given to the patient at the hospital I have given my opinion as both injuries of grievous in nature.Almost all the injuries sustained by the patient in that alleged occurrence are grievous in nature.All the grievous injuries sustained by the injured P.W. 1 would possibly having caused by a weapon like M.O. 2 Multiple head injury generally endanger the life of the person who sustained a these injuries, the injuries found on P.W. 1 have created permanent disabilities.Because of these permanent disabilities P.W. 1 is having restricted movements in both of his hands.Because of the head injuries sustained by P.W. 1 out of this alleged occurrence even after treatment he will be having sometimes giddiness, and blackout of eyes.""He examined P.W. 1 on 4-5-1986 and he examined over again some of the other witnesses during the course of his investigation.The Appellant, when questioned by the trial Court under section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code, denied his complicity in the crime.He stated that the prosecution witnesses had uttered falsehood.P.W. 15 had dispossessed him contrary to the order of interim stay obtained by him.The motor cycle and the articles seized by the police along with the brief case belonged to him; but they were taken away from his house.He was beaten under a wrong assumption.He admitted having been sent to Stanley Medical Hospital for treatment and his remand to the Judicial custody thereafter.He has further stated that the police had beaten him and he was innocent.Though initially he represented that he had witnesses to be examined on his side, later he gave up that stand.However, he had marked Exs.The learned trial Judge, on an appreciation of the oral and documentary evidence, found the appellant guilty of all the three charges and dealt with him as stated earlier.He also contended, that the injuries on the accused had not been explained by the prosecution, which was an additional factor enuring in favour of the appellant.On coming out from the office of the A.S.I., soon after telephoning to.P.W. 22, he found that the appellant had been caught by the Public and kept near the first class waiting room.The appellant had also injuries on him.P.W. 1 who was tottering due to the injuries sustained by him, was being taken out off the railway station by three Magistrates.The train in which P.W. 1 travelled left the station after sometime and before that P.W. 10, the railway guard had sealed the compartment.A little later, P.W. 21, the Sub-Inspector of Police, arrived at the railway station and P.W. 17 along with P.W. 21 awaited the arrival of P.W. 22, the Inspector of Police, Central Railway Police Station.It has been elicited in cross-examination of P.W. 17 that while he gave the message, he did not inform that the victim was a Magistrate and all that he was able to say was that one person had cut another.A contradiction was pointed that the first paragraph of Ex.P. 29 read as though, that P.W. 17 (P.C. 345) had given a message entered in the General Diary stating, that Balaraman (who was the assailant) had cut indiscriminately the Pon neri District Munsif in the compartment and the platform, at Ennore Railway Station, resulting in tension and disturbance and that the accused Balaraman had been beaten and apprehended by the public.When the fact remains that P.W. 17 had given a message to P.W. 22, that the assailant had been caught, while the victim had been sent to the hospital, nothing serious can turn out, on this alleged discrepancy.It was also pointed out that, according to P.W. 17, P.W. 21 had arrived at Ennore Railway Station only after the train had left, but still P.W. 17 would have it that he saw P.W. 2 talking with P.W. 21 at the railway station, which could not be true, for admittedly P.W. 2 had left in the same train, for Gummudi-pundi.It was further pointed out that Ex. D. 2 the remand report showed that the appellant was travelling in the train even from Kathivakkam, a railway station situated before Ennore Railway Station between Madras and Ennore and, therefore, if the appellant had been in the train earlier, he could not have got into the train for the first time at Ennore Railway Station and, therefore, the evidence of P.W. 17 had to be suspected.The admission of P.W. 17, that he could not normally travel in a first class compartment, was also pressed into service to discredit his version.P.W. 22 had prepared the remand report, on the evidence collected till then during investigation.It may be that the appellant travelled from Kathivakkam in another compartment, for in the evidence, it is clear as deposed to by P.Ws. 1, 2 and 17 that the appellant had got into the first class compartment only at Ennore Railway Station.There is overwhelming evidence connecting the appellant with the crime inclusive of his having been apprehended soon thereafter and, therefore, these contradictions though do exist, cannot exculpate the appellant from the crime.The learned counsel for the appellant was unable to seriously challenge the ocular version of the other eye-witnesses including the victim.As far as the victim is concerned, he contended, that the presence of P.W. 2 had not been mentioned in the first information report and specifically the words alleged to have been used by the appellant while he had attacked him had not been mentioned in the earliest document.If we take note of the shock and fright that should have been experienced by P.W. 1, who had been mercilessly attacked, resulting in several injuries, the non-mention of these details, cannot be taken to throw a doubt on the substratum of the prosecution case, which is not only natural, but rings true as well.P.W. 17 has corroborated the version of P.W. 1, that the appellant had stated those words, that he would make P.W. 1 not to write such judgments any more, while inflicting the cuts.I am satisfied that P.Ws. 1 and 17 had spoken the truth, not only relating to the words spoken by the appellant during the course of the attack, but also its subsequent facets.Of the other eye-witnesses, P.W. 3 was the then Judicial Second Class Magistrate at Ponneri, while P.W. 4 was the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Ponneri.P.W. 5 was the Assistant Public Prosecutor in the Court of Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Ponneri, while P.W. 6 was an Advocate practising in the Courts situated at Ponneri.These four witnesses were travelling in a second class compartment from Madras, their destination being Ponneri.P.W. 4 alone had got into the train at Basin Bridge Junction.All these witnesses have uniformly deposed, that at the Ennore Railway Station at or about 9.45 a.m. when the train had halted, they heard a noise, which made them to peep out.They found P.W. 1, who was bleeding in his head, face, and neck, running towards the room of the Station Master shouting ""he is cutting"".They also found the appellant running behind P.W. 1 with a koduval 1 1/2 in length.They attempted to obstruct the appellant by getting out of the compartment, but they failed in their attempts, since the appellant was brandishing the koduval.They actually saw the appellant cutting P.W. 1 not only in the platform, but also in the second class compartment where P.W. 1 took refuge after he found, that the room of the Station Master had been locked.Except a general suggestion that these witnesses were desirous of helping a Judicial Officer and, therefore, had uttered falsehood, nothing further has been alleged against them.The presence of these witnesses appears to be natural and the further fact of P.Ws. 3 to 5 having taken the injured from Ennore Railway Station to the Government General Hospital, which had been noticed by several of the witnesses, affords additional assurance that they must have seen the incident as spoken to by them.It is rather unfortunate that P.W. 3 had received the first information report from the investigating agency in his Court and had also chosen to reject the petition filed by the appellant for the return of the motor cycle, though he must have been aware that he was an eye-witness to the incident.It appears that P.W. 3 was under the bona fide impression, that in the course of his discharge of duties he had to receive the first information report and pass orders in the return of property petition, though he had taken steps after the filing of the final report, to have the committal proceedings transferred to some other Court.Equally P.W. 4 could have been a little more vigilant in not having accepted the referred charge sheet in the complaint preferred by the appellant in respect of the same incident, since justice must not only be done, but also must appear to have been done.P.Ws. 3 and 4 should have avoided the roles they had played in receiving certain records during investigation.However, I am unable to attribute any sinister motive to these two public servants, who had meticulously deposed about all that they had seen.As far as P.W's 5 and 6 are concerned, one an Assistant Public Prosecutor and the other a member of the Bar, nothing serious had been elicited to discredit their versions.Their versions proclaim them to be witnesses of truth.The names of P.Ws. 3, 5 and 6 had been stated even in the first information report.As far as P.W. 2 is concerned, who is an Engineer working in the Public Works Department at Gummudipundi, the comment was that he had travelled without a ticket and his name does not find a place in the first information report.It was also commented, that though P.W. 22 claims to have examined him at the General Hospital between 7.30 and 8 p.m. on the date of the occurrence, P.W. 2 would have it, that he was examined by a Police Inspector at his office, on the next day.This contradiction is, of course, there.We cannot overlook that P.W. 2 had admitted that he was available at the Government General Hospital on the evening of the occurrence.Therefore, it is quite possible that P.W. 2 was also examined along with other witnesses at the Government General Hospital, since his statement had also reached the Court along with the statements of the other eye-witnesses, on the same date.The non-mentioning of the name of P.W. 2 in the first information report is not a serious lacuna, since P.W. 1 was in great distress when his complaint was recorded.The reason why P.W. 2 had to travel without a ticket on that particular day had not been elicited.I do not have any doubt, that P.W. 2 as confirmed by P.Ws. 1 and 17, must have travelled in the compartment along with them on the fateful morning.Even if the version of P.W. 2 is erased from consideration, the other evidence on record is clear, consistent and overwhelming, that the omission of the version of P.W. 2, would not in any event, make a difference while deciding the guilt or otherwise of the appellant.P.W. 10 the Guard of the train in which P.W. 1 was travelling on 25-4-1986, has deposed to the limited extent that he saw a Judge going towards the room of the Assistant Station Master and the appellant cutting him.He noticed a police man conversing over the phone with them.He saw P.W. 1 with injuries near his neck and on his hands.He further noticed the bloodstained Judge being taken from the second class compartment, outside the railway station.He has spoken about the sealing of the First Class Compartment before the train left Ennore Railway Station.All that they had said is that they were remand prisoners in the same jail where the appellant had been kept and only after they were freed from jail, they would be able to depose in this prosecution.It looks as though that both the witnesses were afraid that harm would befall them if they chose to depose against the appellant, who was a co-prisoner with them.The medical evidence furnished by P.Ws. 19, 20 and 14 certainly support the oral evidence of the ocular witnesses in confirming the portroyal of the occurrence as putforth by the prosecution.P.W. 19 Dr. Rathinaswamy, had seen the injured initially and he had noticed five incised injuries on the head.Injuries 3, 4 and 5 are these incised injuries, Injury No. 3 itself accounting for three incised injuries on the left occipital region crossing each other 5"" each.P.W. 19 had also noticed incised injuries on the left and right hands of the victim, coupled with right little finger and ring finger severed at distal phalanx level and loss of part of nail of the middle finger.Further the medical evidence discloses, that certain permanent disabilities had resulted to P.W. 1, in view of the attack by the appellant.The bloodstains taken from the scene of occurrence and from the compartment further lend assurance to the truth of the prosecution case.The learned counsel for the appellant contended that the injuries on the accused had not been explained and that would constitute a serious lacuna.I am unable to agree.at him.There cannot be a discordant note, if it were to be stated, that the motivated appellant, had vindictively attacked a public servant, since the latter's judgment delivered in the course of his duty as a public servant, went against him or was not to his liking.The trial Judge had taken note of the contents of a

+ Trivellore, vowing vengeance against P.W. 15, when P.W. 1's predecessor had decided against him.A perusal of the records does not indicate, that while sentencing the accused, this memo had been put to him to elicit an answer.The appellant has already spent about four years in jail.The appellant has also been acquitted of one count of charge, for an offence under section 452, I.P.C. Taking all these factors into consideration, I am of the view, that the sentence of imprisonment awarded under charge No. 2 for the offence under section 307, I.P.C. could be reduced from 10 years rigorous imprisonment to 7 years rigorous imprisonment.The learned counsel for the appellant contended, that the appellant had not been in a position to pay the varying amounts of fine imposed on him.I do not think, that on facts any sentence of fine, has to be awarded.In that view, the sentences of fine imposed on the appellant under charges 2 and 3 are set aside.The sentence of imprisonment under charge No. 2 for an offence under section 307, I.P.C. is reduced from 10 years rigorous imprisonment to 7 years rigorous imprisonment.In respect of charge No. 1, for the offence under section 452, I.P.C., the appellant is acquitted.In respect of the third charge for the offence under section 333, I.P.C., I confirm the sentence of 3 years rigorous imprisonment imposed by the trial Judge.The sentences in respect of charges 2 and 3 shall run concurrently.The return of M.O. 19, the Rajdoot Motor Cycle bearing registration No. T.M.Z. 615 admittedly belonging to the appellant, has been sought for.M.O. 19 has been confiscated by the trial Court," to the State.I set aside the confiscation of M.O. 19 and direct its return to the appellant.This appeal is partly allowed.Appeal partly allowed.""","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 332 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 353 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 336 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"However, all the above sentences of imprisonment were to run concurrently.The prosecution case MULTUM IN PARVO is that complainant Shabir informed at Police Station Kymore on dated 31.08.1993 that his 16 years aged daughter is missing since 24.08.1993 when she was sleeping with her mother Anvari Begam and other family members at their village Khalwara Bazar.Shri Pramod Kumar Chourasiya, Advocate for the appellant.Shri Samdarshi Tiwari, Govt. Advocate for the respondent /StateJudgment reserved on: 26.07.2013 Judgment delivered on: 01.10.2013 (J U D G M E N T) By means of filing the present appeal under Section 374 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, appellant Naresh Kumar has assailed the order of conviction dated 19.01.1998 passed by the Second Additional Sessions Judge Mudwara in Session Case No.380 / 1995 (State of M.P. Through P.S. Kemore, District Jabalpur vs Naresh Kumar).By the judgment under challenge, the learned trial Judge convicted and sentenced appellant Naresh Kumar as follows:-2 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998The information also disclosed that she was sleeping with her mother Anvari Begam and other family members during the night of 24.08.1993 at their residence, but she was not found in the morning, search for her till date without success.After registration of missing person report inquiry started.On recovery after one and half year the prosecutrix agreed to accompany the accused her own.Because, this kidnapping was of minor prosecutrix from the lawful guardianship of her father Shabir, therefore First Information Report was registered.The prosecutrix refused for medical examination, after recording of statement of prosecutrix as well as her family member's, the accused arrested and after completion of investigation charge sheet was filed.Since the case was exclusively tribal by the Court of Sessions, the learned Magistrate after taking cognizance committed the case to the 3 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998 Court of Sessions Judge, Sagar, from where it was received in the learned trial Court for the trial.3 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998The learned trial Court framed the charges against the accused for commission of offence punishable under Sections 363, 366 and 376 (1) of IPC, who pleaded not guilty therefore, he was put to trial.During accused statement recording under Section 313 of Criminal Procedure Code the accused denied all the evidence put forth before him and claim to be innocent.Defense did not examine any witness.On conclusion of trial, learned trial Court vide impugned judgment convicted the accused for the offence and imposed the sentence as referred to herein above, hence, this appeal.Shri Pramod Kumar Chourasiya, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that evidence of 10 years' age prosecutrix clearly goes to show that she had voluntary gone with the appellant and married with her own and as a result of that the couple blazed with the two issues, even then learned trial Court passed impugned judgment, thus the appeal deserves to be allowed.Shri Samdarshi Tiwari, learned Government Advocate for the State has opposed the appeal vehemently contending that the appellant has rightly been convicted believing the testimony of the prosecutrix.The finding so recorded by the learned trial Court does not warrant any interference, thus, this appeal is liable to be dismissed.4 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998I have considered the rival submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment and available entire record.Again, in order to prove the age of the prosecutrix, and to demonstrate that she was below 16 years burden is on prosecution only.Unless the law makes an exceptional, the personal law would not over right the statutory provisions.Muslim is also entitled to the same protection of law as persons belonging to other religions are entitled to.In the case at hand the prosecutrix is Muslim girl.The ossification test is not a secure test, although this is generally accepted as best available test for the determination of the age of human being, but, in present case it is totally lacking.The prosecutrix straight way refused for her person's examination when she was brought to the hospital.Dr. D.C. Singhai (PW/10) stated that that too she left the hospital also.The prosecution produced educational certificate of the prosecutrix.Prior to discuss available evidence for this form it is a matter of common knowledge that the ages given at the time of 5 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998 admission of girls and boys in schools are far from being precise.5 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998Learned trial court based its impugned judgment, ignoring parents and guardians above mentioned natural tendency, on the basis of above evidence alone, without scrutinize other available evidence on this issue on record.The learned trial court not only ignored above mentioned estimation of his own, but also ignored corroborative evidence which was available on record.Right from missing person report (Ex.P-5C), statements of the prosecution witness, the age of the prosecutrix is mentioned 16 years and above not in any case below to 16 years.It is nowhere specifically mentioned in the report (Ex.Anwari Begam (PW/1) and Sabbir (PW/2), parents of the prosecutrix also stated that age of her daughter was 16 years.6 Cr.A. No.494 of 19986 Cr.A. No.494 of 1998In this manner if the age of the prosecutrix be calculated, the age of the prosecutrix would come out 15 years 02 months to 17 years and 6 months on the date 24.08.1993 of her missing.In above mentioned facts and circumstances, it is clear that the prosecution utterly failed to prove that the age of the prosecutrix was below 16 years on the date of the incident.The major prosecutrix admitted that:-"" eSa U;k;ky; mifLFr vfHk0 dks tkurh gwWaA yxHkx nks o""kZ igys dh ?kVuk gSA eSa vfHk0 ujs'k ceZu ds lkFk Hkkx xbZ FkhA igys eq>s ujs'k ceZu vej ikVu ys x;kA vej ikVu esa vfHk0 ujs'k us vius cqvk ds yM+dh ds ?kj esa j[kk] ogka ,d fnu j[kkA mlds ckn vfHk0 eq>s 'kgMksy ys x;k vkSj eq>s ogka ,d fnu j[kkA 'kgMksy esa vfHk0 us eq>ls dksVZ eSfjt djk;k FkkA mlds ckn vfHk0 eq>s ukxiqj ysdj x;kA ukxiqj esa vfHk0 us eq>s vius pkpk f'ko izlkn ds ?kj esa dqN fnu j[kkA mlds ckn vfHk us eq>s vyx ls edku esa j[kkA""She further admitted that:-"" vfHk0 tc ls eq>s dSeksj ls ikVu ,oa vU; txg ys x;k Fkk ml chp esjs ,oa vfHk0 ds laca/k ifr ifRu ds FksA""Her mother Anwari Begam (PW/1) also admitted during the cross examination:-"" esjh yM+dh xksn esa ,d cPpk ysdj Ms<+ lky ckn vkbZA""If the entire factual scenario is tested on the anvil of the evidence of the prosecution and after considering the evidence in a proper perspective manner, it would reveal that no offence is made 7 Cr.A.

No.494 of 1998The prosecutrix went with the appellant on her own accord and out of her own free will; therefore, she did not seek any help from the inhabitants where ever she lived with the appellant at Amar Patan, Shadol or Nagpur.During these more then one and half years period she did not complaint to any body or to the police, therefore, irresistible conclusion would be that she left her prenatal roof on her on accord.There is also no proof of criminal intimidation or promise, persuasion, inducement or allurement from the appellant.On the basis of aforesaid premised reasons, I have no hesitation to hold that the learned Trial Judge erred in law in convicting the appellant under Section 363, 366 and 376 of the IPC.His conviction is accordingly deserves to be set- aside.In the result, the appeal succeeds and is hereby allowed, the conviction of the appellant is hereby set- aside.The appellant Naresh Kumar is on bail, his bail bond stands discharged.Appeal allowed.","['Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"JUDGMENT M. Karpagavinayagam, J.On 20th July, 1988 at about 5.30 p.m., Kalpana Sumathi, the victim woman was proceeding with a plastic green vessel carrying in her hand to the bore-well pump situated in a school compound in order to fetch water by crossing through the police station.At that time, she had never dreamt that she would be whisked away and forcibly taken inside the police station and gang raped by four police officials one after another.The irony is that victim woman was taken inside the store room of the police station by a woman Sweeper working in the police station.The incident was so horrible that she was beaten by police officials with sticks inflicting injuries all over her body and then she was raped by the police personnel from the rank of Inspector of Police to the rank of Constable one after another.The uniformity in the sad episode is that while they committed gang rape inside the police station, they were in uniform and on duty.Their lustful duty did not end with that.The victim woman who became unconscious was thereafter bodily lifted to a secluded place behind the police station and was thrown off into a ditch of 7 feet depth.Without satisfying that, those police personnel on duty threw big stones on her head to finish her once for all.Thinking that she died, they went back to police station for joining their regular duties.""(a) Kalpana Sumathi (P.W.1) is the wife of Venkatesamurthy (P.W.3).They are residents of Thalli village.She is working as a Teacher in a private Nursery School.After their wedlock, a female child was born to them.(b) On 20.7.1988 at about 5.30 p.m., P.W.1 Kalpana Sumathi went with a plastic vessel to fetch water from the bore-well pump situated near the Thalli Police Station.At that time, A5 Lakshmi, who was working as the Sweeper in the said police station, put a cloth on her head and after hitting her forcibly abducted and took her inside the police station.There, she was pushed inside the store-room and her head hit the wall.When she tried to go out of the room, A3 Selvaraj, the Writer, A4 Govindasamy, the Constable, A5 Lakshmi closed the door.Thereafter, A1 Balasubramanian, the Inspector of Police, A2 Govindarajan, the Head Constable, A3 Selvaraj, Writer and A4 Govindasamy, Constable committed rape one after another.Then, A2, A3 and A4 again came inside and beat the victim on her head with sticks.The victim receiving bleeding injuries on the head and other parts of the body became unconscious.Then, A2 to A5 lifted her body and took to a secluded place through the backyard of the police station and threw the body into a pit of 7 feet depth.Then, they took two big stones and threw them on her head and left the place.(c) In the meantime, P.W.3 Venkatesamurthy, her husband having waited till 7.30 p.m. for the arrival of P.W.1 from bore-well pump, went to the bore-well pump in search of her along with P.W.4 Sekar, P.W.5 Nagaraj and two others.She was not available there.But, P.W.3 found the plastic vessel which was carried by P.W.1 to fetch water lying on the floor near the bore-well pump.Then, P.W.3, his relatives and others arranged a Van and went to various places like Hosur and Elathagiri where their relatives reside, in search of her.Since she was not available there, P.W.3 and others came back to the village.(d) Next day i.e. on 21.7.1988 at about 11.00 a.m. he came to know that the body of the victim was found lying in a canal at the corner of the village and so, he and others went there.To their utter shock, she was found semi-naked with injuries all over the body in a pit.However, she was found alive.P.W.6 Ramakrishnan, another Teacher immediately rushed to the police station and requested A3 Selvaraj, Writer who was available then to come to the scene for recording her statement.A3 did not evince any interest.He simply asked P.W.6 to take the victim to the hospital,if she is alive.(e) Then, P.W.1 was taken in a Tempo and brought to the Hosur Government Hospital at 12.45 p.m. P.W.18 Dr.Padmavathy examined her and found 21 injuries all over the body.Since there was heavy bleeding, P.W.18 advised that the victim to be taken to Saint John Hospital, Bangalore.Accordingly, she was taken and admitted at 5.30 p.m. in the Bangalore Hospital.P.W.16 Dr.Norman attached to Bangalore Hospital examined her and found serious injuries and also fracture in the bone and different parts of the body.Though she was conscious, she was not able to give any details as to how she sustained injuries.Noticing her condition, P.W.17, a Psychiatric Doctor was brought and constant treatment was given to her.(f) Meanwhile, on a complaint received from P.W.3 husband, the case was registered by Sethu Madhavan, Sub Inspector of Police of the Thalli Police Station on 21.7.1988 at about 3.30 p.m. for the offences under Sections 354, 325 and 323 I.P.C. Nonetheless, the police did not take further action in the matter.P.W.7 Subba Rao, an elder of the village on finding that no further action was taken by the police, presented a memorandum to the Collector to take further action on the complaint given by P.W.3 husband.(g) On 28,7,1988, P.W.7 went to Bangalore Hospital and met her.On seeing him, P.W.1 wept, but did not give any details.When she was insisted for the details, she reluctantly told him that Lakshmi, Sweeper(A5) would give all the details.Thereafter, there was a public agitation expressing their protest for the inaction of the police.Then, an enquiry was conducted and the public were invited to give statements.(i) On 1.8.1988, P.W.19 after such inquiry, sent a report to the District Collector.Then, on 3.8.1988, he was directed by the Collector to initiate inquiry under Clause 145 of the Police Standing Orders to find out the involvement of the police officials in the incident.On 4.8.1988, P.W.19 went to the Bangalore hospital and examined P.W.1 and obtained her statement Ex.Though she stated in Ex.P54 that she was forcibly abducted by A5 to the police station, she did not give further details, as she was not able to remember them.So, again on 6.8.1988, he obtained another statement Ex.P56 from the victim in which she gave all the details about the gang rape and beating etc. by the police.Then, he continued the inquiry and finished the same and then sent the report to the Collector.(l) During the course of trial, P.Ws.1 to 19 were examined, Exs.""(a) P.W.1 on 20.7.1988 at about 5.30 p.m. went to the bore pump situated in a school compound next to police station carrying a plastic vessel (kudam) to fetch water.P.W.2 Jayammal after taking water came back through police station.She saw P.W.1 coming towards bore pump near the police station.Few minutes later, A5 Lakshmi, a woman Sweeper working in the police station put a cloth on her head and pulled her.P.W.1 felt that somebody beat her on the back of the head.In the process of her being pulled, P.W.1 dropped the kudam at the spot itself.She became semi-conscious.However, she was able to feel that she was taken to police station and pushed into a room.(b) After some minutes, she regained full consciousness and found that she was in a store-room containing old articles.Then, she cried and banged the door which was locked from outside.At that time, A3 Selvaraj, Writer, A4 Govindasamy, Constable and A5 Lakshmi, Sweeper opened the door and came inside.The electric light inside was burning then.They asked her to keep quiet and told her that she would not be allowed to go back to her home.When she cried and tried to escape through the door, the door was closed forcibly by the accused, with the result her right fingers got crushed.Thereafter, she was pushed towards the wall, thereby her head got hit on the wall resulting in the bleeding injuries.Further, they beat her.Unable to bear the same, she again became unconscious.(c) After some time, she gained consciousness and tried to get up from the floor.At that time, A3 Writer and A4 Constable came and asked to call Circle Inspector (A1) and Govindarajan, Head Constable (A2) to the room.Within a few minutes, all the accused (A1 to A4) came inside the room.All the police officers were in uniform.Then, she was made to lie down and A1 pulled the saree up, laid down on her body and raped her.Thereafter, A1 got up and called the other accused and asked them to have sexual intercourse with her and finish her.So saying, he left the place.(e) Then, A3 Writer came and raped her.After he went out, A4 Constable came inside and committed rape.Lastly, A2 Head Constable came and raped her.She could not resist then, since she sustained serious bleeding injuries on the head and hand.Again A2 to A4 came inside and all of them hit on her head.This time, she completely lost her consciousness.She did not know what happened to her subsequently.When P.W.3, the husband of P.W.1 finding that the victim did not turn up home after fetching water, went in search of P.W.1 at 10.30 p.m. to the bore pump.At that point of time, he found that all the doors of the police station were closed and one light was burning inside the police station.He found the plastic green kudam which was carried by P.W.1 while she left home lying near the bore pump.According to P.W.3, on noticing the kudam lying in the ground, he got fainted.It is also not disputed that the pit from where she was rescued was situated at the backyard of the police station just 75 metres away.P.W.18 Doctor in her deposition would state that all the 21 injuries were found smeared with sand.P.W.6, a Teacher working in a Panchayat Union School at Thalli village would state that he went to the police station along with a former M.L.A. and visited the storeroom.He found bloodstained patches in the said room.Both in Exs.P2 and P3, he mentioned about the same.There is no dispute in the fact that the victim was admitted in the Bangalore Hospital on 21.7.1988 and discharged only on 12.10.1988 after nearly 2 1/2 months during which she was in the hospital.Immediately thereafter, he filed the requisition before the Court to make arrangements for conducting identification parade.The perusal of Ex.It is also clear from Ex.P39 F.I.R. and Ex.P41 mahazar for recovery of stones from the scene that the body was lying down in a pit which is just one furlong from the police station.The victim was admitted in the hospital on 21.7.1988 at 12.45 p.m. There was no anxiety shown by the police officials in the Thalli Police Station to register a case, even though a victim girl was found with injuries near the police station.In the meantime, the public gathered in front of the police station and resorted to agitation.It was also informed to the Collector that there would be a Hartal and general strike on 30.7.1988 if no further action is taken.On receipt of the information, P.W.19 R.D.O. went to Thalli village and conducted enquiry.During the course of enquiry also, the agitation by the public continued protesting against inaction of the police.It is noticed that during the course of trial, both P.W.1, the victim and P.W.19, the R.D.O. had been cross-examined at length.All the four police officials and the Sweeper woman, arrayed as A1 to A5, were charged for the offences of gang rape, attempt to commit murder and abetment etc. and tried.Ultimately, they were convicted and sentenced.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, A1, the Inspector of Police has filed a separate appeal in Crl.A.No.765 of 1993 and A2 to A4, the Constables, have filed appeal in Crl.Since the adequate sentence has not been imposed upon the accused who committed gang rape as provided in Section 376(2)(g) I.P.C., the victim Kalpana Sumathi has preferred a revision in Crl.R.C.No.172 of 1994 requesting for enhancement of sentence.Both these appeals and revision are being disposed of through this common judgment.The brief facts of the shameless intrigue as unravelled by the prosecution are as follows:(j) Accepting the report, the Collector then passed an order directing P.W.19 R.D.O. to file a complaint against the police officials concerned.Consequently, the permission was granted to file a complaint to prosecute the officials as well as the Sweeper woman.P1 to P70 were filed and M.Os.1 to 33 were marked on the side of prosecution.The accused while answering the questions under Section 313 Cr.P.C., simply denied their complicity in the crime.They did not adduce any evidence on their side.(m) On appreciation of the evidence available on record, the trial Court found all the accused guilty under Sections 366, 366 read with 109,,342 read with 109, 376, 326, 307, 307 read with 109, 376 read with 109, 201 and 326 read with 34 I.P.C. The Court sentenced A1 to A4 to undergo R.I. for 3 years and to pay a fine of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 366 read with 109 I.P.C.; R.I. for one year for the offence under Section 342 read with 109 I.P.C.; R.I. for eight years and fine of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 376 I.P.C.; R.I. for seven years and fine of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 326 I.P.C.; sentenced A4 to undergo R.I. for seven years and fine of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 307 I.P.C.; sentenced A1 to A3 to undergo R.I. for seven years and fine of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 307 read with 109 I.P.C.; sentenced A2 to A4 to undergo R.I. for two years and fine of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 201 I.P.C.; and sentenced A5 to undergo R.I. for three years for the offence under Section 366 I.P.C.; R.I. for one year for the offence under Section 342 I.P.C. and R.I. for five years for the offence under Section 376 read with 109 I.P.C.R. Shanmugasundaram, the learned senior counsel appearing for A1, the Inspector of Police, the appellant in Crl.A.No.765 of 1993 would submit the following contentions, while challenging the conviction imposed on A1:""(1) P.W.1, the prosecutrix was not doing monetarily well.In order to get a job and to get compensation, she falsely implicated the accused, the police personnel by instigating the people to make a public agitation at the instance of the Communist Party.Even before the recording of the statement from the victim, the Collector and Revenue Divisional Officer fixed the police personnel as accused and filed a false complaint in order to satisfy the public.(2) The statements obtained during the enquiry conducted by the R.D.O. from the witnesses and A5 are not admissible in view of Section 4 of the Revenue Enquiry Act.(3) The testimony of P.W.1, the prosecutrix, is full of contradictions and her version is highly improbable, especially when she did not come forward with the said version at the earliest point of time.The scene of occurrence, namely police station is situated in a busy area surrounded with shops, Bank, School, play ground and police residential quarters.Buses will be parked near the road side.In the said situation, it is improbable to contend that she was forcibly abducted and locked in the police station and she cried and banged the door and at that point of time, a gang rape was committed.(4) The material witnesses, viz., father of P.W.1 to whom P.W.1 talked earliest, one Munusamy Achari who had seen that P.W.1 was forcibly dragged away by A5, one Sampathkumar to whom she talked after regained consciousness and D.S.P. and Sub Inspector of Police who had initially investigated the matter, had not been examined.Non-examination of these important witnesses would draw adverse inference against the prosecution.(6) P.W.18 Doctor who examined the victim on 21.7.1988 gave opinion that there is no clinical evidence of rape.""The submissions made by Mr. V.Gopinath, the learned senior counsel appearing for A2 to A4, the appellants in Crl.A.No.764 of 1993 are these:""(1) Even according to P.W.1, she did not know A1 to A4 previously.The identification parade was conducted only after 1"" months after the discharge from the hospital.Even before P.W.9, the Magistrate in whose presence the parade was conducted, the objection was raised by all the accused that the accused persons were shown to P.W.1 even before the parade and their photos were published in the newspaper.Even according to P.W.1 in her statement before P.W.19, the R.D.O. she was pushed into a storeroom, which was dark.When such was the case, she would not have identified the persons who committed rape.(3) Ex.In Ex.Even though A5 deposed in Tamil, the same was written in English.(4) Even though the bloodstained sample taken from the storeroom was found to be tallied with the blood group of the victim, the samples were not taken in accordance with rules, since the bloodstains were not collected with the help of Scientific Expert.P.W.19, the R.D.O. had not followed the correct procedure in filing the complaint, as he did not adopt the required procedure, while recording the statement from the witnesses.Although P.W.19 stated that he perused the General Diary entry in the police station, the same had not been produced before the Court.(5) The evidence of P.W.18, the Doctor is completely contradictory to the prosecution case.(6) The investigation was conducted by P.W.19 R.D.O. in a hasty manner in order to fix the accused hurriedly in order to overcome the public outcry and law and order problems and as such, the same is faulty.""A1 gave the signal to others to go out and so, A2, A3 and A4 went out of the room.(d) Then, A1 forcibly grabbed the body of the victim P.W.1 and began to bite her cheek, forehead and breasts.She regained her consciousness only at the Bangalore Hospital.""The above details given in the deposition of P.W.1 would show that she was able to remember only this portion of the occurrence.It is the further case of the prosecution that after a gang rape by A1 to A4, A2 to A4 lifted her body and dropped her into a ditch with a considerable depth and threw the stones on her head.Since P.W.1 lost her consciousness, she was not able to say the other details regarding the lifting of her body from police station and throwing into the pit at the place near to the police station i.e. later portion of the occurrence.Let us now scrutinise, whether the evidence with reference to the first portion of the occurrence relating to rape adduced by P.W.1 is reliable and whether there is any corroboration.23. P.W.1 would state that when she was forcibly pulled by A5 in order to take her to police station, she dropped the kudam there itself.He also saw that the green plastic kudam was found near the bore pump.P.W.5 Nagaraj who is the resident of the same village, who accompanied them to bore pump, also saw the plastic kudam near the bore pump and on seeing that P.W.3 fainted.Strangely, when they came to bore pump next day, they found kudam missing.The evidence of P.W.2 would indicate that P.W.1 was crossing the police station while proceeding towards bore pump at 5.30 p.m. with kudam, and the evidence of P.Ws.3, 4 and 5 would disclose that the said kudam was found lying near the bore pump, when they visited at 10.30 p.m. on the same night.Thus, the evidence of P.W.1 regarding the initial part of the occurrence, has been corroborated by these witnesses.Regarding the rape committed by A1 to A4 inside the storeroom, we have got the evidence of P.W.1 alone.However, the injuries sustained by her at the hands of the accused were noticed by P.W.3 to P.W.6 when the body of P.W.1 was lifted from the pit.As noted above, after searching for P.W.1 in various places, P.W.3 husband of the victim came back to village.Next day at about 11.30 a.m., P.W.3 was informed that P.W.1's body in a semi-naked position was lying down in a pit situated within 75 metre distance from the police station. P.W.3 immediately rushed to the scene along with P.W.4 Sekar, P.W.5 Nagaraj and P.W.6 Ramakrishnan, local residents of Thalli village.All of them would state that she was found lying down in a pit with injuries on the head, hand, legs and other parts of the body.At that time, she was grumbling.P.W.6 Ramakrishnan went immediately to the police station and gave intimation to A3 Writer, who was available then and requested to come to the spot to record statement from her.But, A3 did not care to come and merely asked him to take her to hospital.Then, all of them took her to the hospital at Hosur.P.W.18 Dr.Though she was conscious and able to speak, she did not give out the details about the manner in which she sustained injuries.She found totally 21 injuries.Out of those injuries, injury Nos.2, 3, 4 and 8 are head injuries and injury Nos.14, 15, 16 and 17 are the injuries which were found on hand and fingers.She also found fractures in so many parts of the body.Since her condition was so serious as there are bleeding injuries, she was referred to the Bangalore Hospital on the same day.P.W.16 Dr.Norman who admitted in the Bangalore Hospital at 5.30 p.m. on 21.7.1988 examined the victim.According to P.W.16, he found 21 injuries all over the body.He also gave opinion that some of the injuries are compound fractures.He would state that though the patient was conscious, she was unable to narrate the cause of the injuries.According to him, the injuries on both the hands are grievous in nature.Both these Doctors, viz., P.W.16 and P.W.18 would state that these injuries would have been caused due to bite or caused by a forcible jamming of the doors and the beatings by sticks and the fractures can also be caused by dropping the stones.It is relevant to note that the evidence that P.W.1 was found with injuries on her body and was removed from the pit, as spoken to by P.Ws.3 to 6 has not been challenged by the defence.As per Ex.P3, he removed cement slab along with the bloodstains found in the storeroom and Veranda.As per the Serologist's report Ex.P13, the bloodstain was found to be human blood.It is true that the victim P.W.1 would give statement only on 6.8.1988 alleging gang rape against the accused, even though the occurrence had take place on 20.7.1988and as such, there was a delay for about 15 days.As referred to in the decisions of the Supreme Court, mere delay would not be a ground to reject the prosecution case, particularly in rape cases, since Indian women would be reluctant to report the matter to the police as they would invariably fear for the consequences.According to prosecution, there are two reasons for the delay.The first reason is that P.W.1 lost her consciousness fully at the police station itself on receiving head injury and gained consciousness only in Bangalore Hospital.Though P.W.4 and P.W.5 would state that when she was removed from the pit on 21.7.1988, she grumbled as if some donkeys were responsible for the act, the fact that she was not conscious to speak when she was taken to hospital is mentioned in earlier document, namely Ex.P1, the complaint given by P.W.3 husband to Sub Inspector of Police (Sethu Madhavan) of Thalli Police Station on 21.7.1988 at about 3.30 p.m. In the said complaint, it is specifically stated by P.W.3 that he gave the complaint, since his wife was unable to speak.Even though P.W.18 Doctor would state that she was conscious and answering questions, the Doctor categorically stated in the deposition that P.W.1 did not give the details about the cause for the injuries.At this juncture, it would be worthwhile to refer to the evidence of P.W.17 Dr.Prakash Appaiya, the Head of the Psychiatric Department.He was asked to examine P.W.1.on 22.7.1988 and 23.7.1988 to ascertain as to why she could not explain as to how the injuries were caused.According to him, P.W.1 was suffering from Amnesia and she would not be fit for about 10 days to recollect what happened earlier as there was an apparent loss of memory due to hysterical dissociative reaction.Even in the cross-examination, he would state that the Doctors diagnosed that P.W.1 was suffering from Amnesia and there is no conscious suppression.This evidence would make it clear that even assuming that she stated something while she was removed from the pit or when she was examined by P.W.18 Dr. Padmavathi in Hosur Hospital, that statement could not have been made in a conscious state, since she suffered from Amnesia causing apparent loss of memory for about 10 days.Therefore, the evidence of P.W.4 and P.W.5 regarding the alleged statement of victim with reference to the two donkeys or two legged donkeys, would be of no relevance.With regard to the second reason, namely, fear over the likelihood of desertion by her husband, P.W.3 himself would state that on 4.8.1988 at about 11.30 a.m., she gave a statement to R.D.O.P.W.19 merely mentioning about A5 and not in respect of the main occurrence.After R.D.O. and others left, in the evening, P.W.3, the husband of the victim insisted the victim to tell complete details and only then, the real culprits would be brought into book.He also gave assurance to the victim that she should not be afraid for anything as he would not desert her at any cost and he would take care of her for the entire life.Only after this assurance, P.W.1 gave out the complete details and told P.W.3 and her mother.Then next day, i.e. on 5.8.1988, P.W.3 went to R.D.O. P.W.19 and gave a statement which was recorded by him about what she stated to him.Next day, i.e. on 6.8.1988, P.W.19 R.D.O. came to the Bangalore Hospital and recorded the statement Ex.P56 from the victim P.W.1 who gave full details of the gang rape committed by all the accused (A1 to A4).Hence, both these explanations given by P.W.1 for the delay are acceptable in view of the evidence of P.W.17 Doctor and P.W.3, her husband.(8) She would feel extremely embarrassed in relating the incident to others being overpowered by a feeling of shame.(9) The natural inclination would be to avoid giving publicity to the incident otherwise the family name and family honour will be brought into controversy.(10) The parents of the woman as also the husband and the members of the husband's family would also want to avoid publicity on account of the fear of social stigma on the family name and family honour.P67 would reveal that the Court earlier issued two summons to P.W.1 on 12.9.1988 and 10,10,1988 asking her to appear on 14.10.1988 to participate in the parade.The identification parade was originally fixed at Salem.As per the Doctor's advice, she should not move to other places and she should take rest at home for a period of two weeks from the date of discharge.On that basis, P.W.19 filed an application Ex.The Judicial Magistrate, Hosur, in turn, requested permission through Ex.P8 requisition dated 7.11.1988 from the Chief Judicial Magistrate at Krishnagiri for conducting parade at Hosur.Accordingly, such a permission was granted.Then, J.S.C.M., Palacode (P.W.9) sent a letter Ex.P9 to Superintendent of Jail, Hosur to make necessary arrangements to conduct identification parade on 22.11.1988 within the prison compound.After such arrangements were made, the parade was conducted in the presence of P.W.9, the Judicial Magistrate, Palacode and in the said parade, P.W.1 identified the accused (A1 to A4) correctly on three times.After the parade was over, the accused were questioned by the Judicial Magistrate in regard to the objection, if any.They said that P.W.1 knew them earlier as they were working in the police station; she would have seen their photographs published in the newspaper and that she also saw them when they came and appeared before the Court for the case.They further stated that P.W.1 dressed as a Gosha Muslim girl and came to the Court and saw the accused even before the parade was conducted.All these objections were recorded by the Judicial Magistrate.Ultimately, P.W.9 Magistrate prepared a report Ex.P10 stating that A1 to A4 were correctly identified by P.W.1 on three times in the parade and the accused did not raise any objection with reference to the formalities observed in conducting the parade.While P.W.1 was cross-examined on this aspect, a suggestion was put to her that she came and saw them in the court in the Gosha dress and saw their photos in the newspaper.On going through the report Ex.P10, it is noticed that all the accused would state that P.W.1 knew them earlier as they were working in the local police station of the village.P.W.1 would specifically state that except A5, she did not know the other accused.If really P.W.1 knew them, she could have very well mentioned the same in her statement given to the R.D.O. P.W.19 at the earliest point of time and in that event, there is no necessity for conducting identification parade.But, the consistent stand taken by P.W.1 is that she did not know them.On the other hand, she was able to see one identifiable feature about A1 that he was wearing a square ring with stones.She would also state that she came to know the names of the other accused as the first accused, the Inspector of Police after committing rape, called them by name to come inside and thereafter, all the three persons came one after another and raped her.These materials would show that the procedure for conducting identification parade was correctly followed without any undue delay and P.W.1 was able to establish her version regarding the identity of the persons who committed gang rape on her, by identifying them correctly in the parade conducted by the Judicial Magistrate.The involvement of the police officials in the gang rape has also been established by two other factors.Firstly, there was an initial reluctance in registering the case with reference to the crime even though the victim was found with injuries all over the body in a pit situated at the backyard of the police station.Secondly, despite registration of the case after a considerable delay, no further action was taken by the police to find out the real culprits, which resulted in the public agitation.The body was found lying in a ditch at about 11.00 a.m. next day.P.W.3, the husband, P.W.4, P.W.5, P.W.6, other villagers went to the spot and noticed the victim lying in the pit with a semi nude condition with injuries all over the body.P.W.6 Ramakrishnan, a Teacher working in the Panchayat Union School at Thalli rushed to the police station along with another and complained the matter to the Writer of the police station who was available then.P.W.6 requested him to come to the spot and record the statement of victim, as she is alive and conscious.A3 on hearing this news, exclaimed by asking ""Is she alive?"" He further stated, ""If she is alive, you try to save her by taking to hospital"".However, he did not come to the spot.In the statement Ex.P59, P.W.6 would state that one Police Constable Kaveri was sent.But, he simply came to the spot and shouted at the people who gathered there in a vulgar language and did not take any action.This aspect of the evidence adduced by P.W.6 has not been challenged.As a matter of fact, A3 in his statement to the question No.78 admitted that P.W.6 came and informed him about the victim lying in a pit and he asked him to save her life.After enquiry, P.W.19 sent an enquiry report on 1.8.1988 suspecting the involvement of the police officials of Thalli Police Station in the incident and thereafter, on 3.5.1988 under Ex.P53, the Collector directed P.W.19 to initiate enquiry under Clause 145 of the Police Standing Orders.Accordingly, further enquiry was conducted by the R.D.O. and ultimately, after examination of the witnesses including the victim, he sent a report on 6.8.1988 to the Collector fixing the responsibility against four police officials i.e. A1 to A4 through Ex.In the said report, he specifically stated that in spite of the request of the public, the police officers did not care to register a case even though the victim was found with injuries near the police station and the complaint was registered belatedly by the Sub Inspector of Police and even then there was no further action on that for the main reason that police officials themselves are involved.This circumstance also would add strength to the evidence of P.W.1 victim relating to the incident of gang rape in the police station at the relevant time.We will now come to the second portion of the occurrence.According to the prosecution, after the gang rape, she was beaten again and made completely unconscious.Thereafter, she was bodily lifted from the storeroom and taken through the school veranda and dropped her body into the ditch which was at the backyard of school near the police station.Thereafter, the accused Constables threw two stones on her head and left the place.For this part of the incident, there is no direct evidence adduced by the prosecution.However, it is noticed that P.W.1 in Ex.P56, which was recorded on 6.8.1988 by P.W.19 R.D.O., she stated that the Circle Inspector (A1) after committing rape, asked oth",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ she did not give the details as to how and by whom she was taken and thrown into a ditch.But, the consistent stand taken by P.W.1 both in her statement made to R.D.O. and in her deposition before the Court that after all the persons committed rape on her, she lost her consciousness and she regained consciousness only in the Bangalore Hospital.Therefore, she would not be able to say regarding the fact that she was thrown into a pit and stones were thrown on her head to kill her.However, the statement Ex.P62 given by A5, the woman Sweeper to P.W.19 R.D.O., while the enquiry was conducted, would give clear picture as to what happened subsequent to the gang rape.This statement was recorded on 20.7.1988 at 5.45 p.m. even before obtaining the statement Ex.According to the statement Ex.P62, after A1, the Inspector of Police left the station, A2 to A4 went inside the storeroom one after another and came back.When A5 asked A3 as to why there was some sound inside the storeroom, A3 told her that the woman had fainted.Thereafter, the accused Constables lifted her and carried her through the school veranda and pushed into a ditch and thereafter, they threw two granite stones on the girl's head.Then, they left the place.After coming back to police station, the mat on which the girl was raped also was torn by A3, the Writer.This statement is an additional corroboration to the statement (Ex.P56) of P.W.1 in which P.W.1 stated that the Inspector of Police asked other Police Constables to have sexual intercourse and then to finish her.This statement cannot be rejected merely because A5 has retracted the same during the course of trial.A5 never stated that she was compelled to give such a statement.She did not dispute her thumb impression in the said statement.As a matter of fact, P.W.19 who speaks about the statement Ex.P62 made before him by A5 had not been cross-examined by A5 at all, though the other witnesses were cross-examined by her counsel.In the said fact situation, there is no difficulty in holding that the statement Ex.Furthermore, the contents of the said extra-judicial confession is in a way corroborated by the evidence of the witnesses P.W.3, P.W.4, P.W.5 and P.W.6 who stated that the body was found lying in the pit and from there, the victim was taken to hospital.In addition to this, P.W.18, the Doctor attached to Hosur Hospital and P.W.16, the Doctor attached to Bangalore Hospital would mention in their certificates Exs.P.50 and 51 respectively that there are several injuries on frontal, parietal and temporal region of the head.They also would state that these injuries on the head would have been caused by throwing the stones on the head.Thus, it is clear from the extra-judicial confession and other materials referred to above that after finishing rape, there was an attempt to commit murder on her.Both the Doctors would state that there was loss of large quantity of blood and if timely treatment had not been given, she would have died.These things would make it clear that there are enough materials to show that the accused Police Constables (A2 to A4) had caused grievous injuries and made attempt to commit murder, thereby to cause disappearance of the evidence.The main thrust of the attack by the senior counsel appearing for the first accused, the Inspector of Police is that the family of P.W.1 was so poor and in her family, P.W.1 alone was doing a temporary job as a Teacher and in order to get permanent job and to get compensation, she falsely implicated A1 and other accused with the help of the Communist Party who were agitating over the lack of interest over the investigation by the police and in order to satisfy the public outcry, the R.D.O. hurriedly fixed the responsibility on the accused police officials.This defence, in my view, is not only artificial but also obnoxious.Though the occurrence had taken place on 20.7.1988, P.W.1 who is the unfortunate victim never said anything initially either with reference to the commission of offences or with regard to the identity of the culprits.Even on 4.8.1988 when she gave first statement to R.D.O., she did not want to tell anything as she was afraid of the consequences, but she merely said that A5 knew everything.P63 and sent it to the Collector, who in turn passed an order directing prosecution.After the launching of the complaint, the articles recovered from the spot were sent for chemical analysis through the Court and identification parade was conducted in pursuance of the order of the Court.Only after collecting all the materials, the matter was committed to Sessions.In the said statement, she did not give the details, since at that time, she was afraid that if details were given, her whole life would be spoiled.However, in the said statement, she mentioned that A5 knew about the occurrence.When P.W.3, the husband found that she was reluctant to tell the truth, she was asked to give entire truth, since he would take care of her and protect her throughout her life.Only on the basis of the words of encouragement by P.W.3, P.W.1 gave out full details in Ex.As noted above, even prior to the recording of this statement, A5 gave the statement Ex.P62 to R.D.O.(P.W.19) which would corroborate the version of P.W.1 that she was locked in a storeroom and in the said room, she was gang raped and the comparison of Ex.This submission also would not impress this Court for the reason that when she was locked in the room, it was only 5.30 p.m. According to the prosecution, the gang rape was committed by one after another between 7.00 p.m. and 10.00 p.m. P.W.8 mahazar witness would state that in the storeroom, there was a light available.P.W.19 also would state that there were electrical lights available in every room of the police station.P.W.1 has categorically stated in her deposition that there was an electric light burning while the rape was committed.P56, she said that she regained her senses and she felt as if she was in a dark room.She further stated that all the persons one after another came and raped her and she could identify them if she sees them again.They come from an Orthodox family.During the cross-examination, nothing was elicited from them that they were speaking falsehood or they were having any grudge against the police officials.P63 sent by P.W.19 R.D.O. and his deposition made before the Court would clearly indicate that P.W.19 Mr.C. Chandra Mouli, the R.D.O. is a honest and impartial officer who took pains in conducting the enquiry and collecting the statements of the public, even though he was a victim in the attack during the public agitation.His efforts during the course of investigation and in giving full details during the course of deposition would deserve all appreciation from this Court.But for the timely intervention through the Collector's order or through the effective enquiry by P.W.19, a case of gang rape by the police officials at the police station would have been buried.Similarly, the agitation by the public of Thalli village against the police atrocities was also a timely one.Only due to this, P.W.7 Mr.Subba Rao, an elder of the village took up the cause and presented a memorandum to the Collector to take immediate action.Since the sentence imposed upon the appellants (A1 to A4) has been enhanced to life imprisonment, the appellants are directed to surrender before the trial Court or the trial Court is directed to take steps to secure the custody of the appellants/accused to undergo the remaining period of sentence.With these observations," the appeals as well as the revision are disposed of.""","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376(2) in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 4 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

State of Gujarat, Crl.The Courts have held that the golden thread which runs through the web of administration of justice in criminal cases is that if two views are possible on the evidence adduced in the case, one pointing to the guilt of the accused and the other to his innocence, the view which is favourable to the accused should be adopted.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 4 of 13His relevant cross-examination on 25th January, 2007 is as under:-M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 6 of 13"".................For the first time I received information that accused Vijay has kidnapped my child on 14th November, 2005 in the evening.I received this information from Sh.Sanjay on 14th November, 2005 in the evening.I told this information to the police in the evening of 14th November, 2005 itself.I did not receive any information of any kind before or on 14th November, 2005 except the information received through Sh.It is correct that I received a telephonic call from the police station Bakewar, Itawaha (UP) on 16th November, 2005.""The PW-2 had not deposed that he had received any call from Sh.According to him, the ransom call was made by Vijay on 14th November, 2005 along with Ashok Kumar and Raju and after one hour, he had received another call from Raju.Had he received the phone calls for ransom on 14th November, 2005 would he not know that his child had been kidnapped for ransom? In that case, the said witness who is the complainant and father of the kidnapped child would not have deposed that the information that Vijay has kidnapped his child on 14th November, 2005 was from Sh.Sanjay only.In view of the specific statement of PW-2, it was imperative for the prosecution to have seized the cell phone of the complainant and to ascertain its IME number.This was neither deposed by the said witness, nor established by the prosecution whether the alleged ransom call was received on the mobile phone of the complainant or at his STD Booth.The call record of the STD Booth has not been produced.In the circumstances, there is no Crl.On the basis of the oral statement of the complainant also it cannot be inferred that he had received ransom calls from the accused and to that extent his statement cannot be relied on.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 7 of 13The complainant, Sh.Jitender Saini in his statement under Section 161 of Criminal Procedure Code stated that he had received phone call from Ashok Kumar on 14.11.2005 and not Raju and he could identify the voices of Vijay and Ashok Kumar as Ashok Kumar used to come to Vijay at his shop.In the circumstances, the trial Judge has noticed the improvement made by the said witness who had stated in his statement under Section 161 of Criminal Procedure Code that Ashok Kumar had demanded the amount and had made second ransom call and it was not disclosed in the statement under section 161 of Cr. P.C that Raju had made the second ransom call.In the cross- examination, the said witness had also admitted that he could not identify accused Raju and Sonu by names.If complainant could not identify Raju and Sonu even by name, then how could he identify their voices? The complainant had not heard them earlier as Vijay was not in the habit of making friends and voice test identification was not done during the investigation.In the circumstances, the inferences drawn by the trial court that the complainant could not have identified their voices cannot be held to be unsustainable or perverse so as to entail Crl.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 8 of 13 interferences by this Court, or to grant leave to appeal to the petitioner as no perversity in the findings of the Trial Court has been pointed out.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 8 of 13The trial court has also noticed and observed that prosecution has not produced any call record, though the complainant had deposed that he had received a ransom call from Vijay on his STD Booth, and therefore, it was incumbent upon the investigating officer to have collected the call record to find out the truth in the statement of the complainant as to whether he had received any ransom call.The failure of the prosecution to establish that any ransom call was made has also been inferred on the basis of the testimony of PW-14, ASI Ishwar Dutt who did not make any attempt to verify whether the complainant PW-2 had received any ransom call as in his deposition he could not disclose the telephone number and mobile number on which the ransom call was received at the house of the complainant.He had admitted that he had not even informed about the time or collected any detail of the STD line phone on which alleged ransom calls were allegedly made by the respondents/accused.Another factor which weighed with the trial court was that the demand for ransom has not been established by the testimony of PW-3 who has alleged that he had heard the accused planning to kidnap the child of the complainant on 8th November, 2005, however, he did not inform about this fact either to the police or to other co-villagers and he Crl.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 9 of 13 informed the complainant Sh.Jitender Saini only on 14th November, 2005 which is also admitted by Sh.Jitender Saini complainant in his cross-examination deposing that he only came to know about the kidnapping of his child from Sh.Sanjay PW-3 also did not depose that kidnapping was done or was planned for any demand or for any ransom.PW-3 was not declared hostile and in the circumstances, the trial court did not give much credence to his testimony for inferring that there was a demand for ransom made from the complainant.Rather the trial court has held that PW-3 appears to be a witness introduced in the case with a purpose to give the colours of kidnapping for ransom to the case.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 9 of 13The learned Additional Public Prosecutor is unable to show any other fact established on record which has not been taken into consideration by the trial court which will make inferences of the trial court perverse or unsustainable.The plea that two ransom calls were received by the complainant was not propounded in the statement initially recorded under section 161 of the Cr. P.C but was disclosed by the complainant, father of the kidnapped child in his supplementary statement recorded under Section 161 of Criminal Procedure Code where he had deposed that he had received two ransom calls.In the statement under Section 161 of Crl.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 10 of 13 Criminal Procedure Code, the complainant stated that ransom calls were received from Vijay and Ashok Kumar whereas in his statement before the Court, it was alleged that first ransom call was received from Vijay, Ashok Kumar and Raju, and second ransom call was received from Raju.In the circumstances, the inferences of the trial Court that there is no cogent evidence with regard to any planning or criminal conspiracy to kidnap the child cannot be termed to be unsustainable or perverse or not based on the evidence on record.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 10 of 13The prosecution has also failed to produce reliable evidence that complainant had accompanied police from Delhi to bus stand Itawaha on 15th November, 2005 as the prosecution case is that on 14th November, 2005, ASI Ishwar Dutt along with PW-2 Sh.Jitender Saini,PW-4, one Sh.Sarjeet Saini, a relative of PW-2 and constable Sh.However, PW-2 Sh.Jitender Saini, the complainant did not testify at all that Sh.Sarjeet Saini, his relative had accompanied him to bus stand pursuant to the ransom call allegedly received from the accused.The statement of PW4, Sh.Sarjeet, brother- in-law of the complainant has contradictions inasmuch as he stated that the complainant was given a bag with a direction to go to bus stand and no one came to collect the money, however, no clarification was sought about the date of the visit and in these circumstances, the probable inference is that they had not gone to Itawaha on 14th Crl.Even if it is feasible to draw another inferences by this Court that evidence reflect that these two persons had gone on 14.11.2005 and had reached Etawah on 15.11.2005, it will not be appropriate to substitute the findings of the Trial Court with this inference.These persons with policemen had not visited Etawah is further augmented by the fact that no DD entry has been proved that police officials with the complainant and his relative had left for Itawaha on 14th November, 2005, nor any entry at the police station Itawaha to prove their presence in the said District has been produced and proved.In the circumstances, neither prosecution had established that there was a ransom call made on 14th November, 2005, and nor that two police officers along with the complainant and his brother-in-law had gone to Itawaha.In the circumstances, the findings of the trial court, in the opinion of this Court does not suffer from any perversity, nor any such facts or pleas have been raised or shown by the learned counsel which will reflect any unsustainability in the findings of the trial court.M.A No. 14603/2010 & CRL.LP No.323/2010 Page 11 of 13The learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Ms.","['Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 364 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Heard both the learned counsel for the parties.This is first bail application filed by the applicant Lekhram Luniya under Section 438 of CrPC for grant of anticipatory bail.T h e applicant apprehends his arrest in connection with Crime No.78/2019, registered at P.S. Majhauli, District Jabalpur under Sections 354, 354-D, 506, 376 of IPC.A s per the prosecution case, on 18.02.2019 prosecutrix lodged the report at Police Station Majhauli, District Jabalpur averring that when she was returning from police station to her house after lodging report of the applicant, on the way, at Indrana Chowk, applicant meet her and caught hold of her hand with bad intention and molested her.On that police registered Crime No.78/2019 for the offence punishable under Sections 354, 354-D, 506 of IPC.For the first time on 27.02.2019 prosecutrix disclosed the fact that on 14.02.2019 applicant also committed rape with the prosecutrix.Prosecutrix was major.Applicant is ready to cooperate in the investigation and trial.Under these circumstances, applicant prays for anticipatory bail.Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer.Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and the contention of the learned counsel for the applicant and the fact that prosecutrix was major, in the FIR lodged by the prosecutrix on 18.02.2019, it is not Digitally signed by RANJEET AHIRWAL Date: 15/04/2019 11:15:48 2 MCRC-12165-2019 mentioned that applicant also committed rape with her.The applicant will not leave India without previous permission of the trial Court/Investigating Officer, as the case may be.A copy of this order be sent to the concerned Station House Officer for compliance.C.C. as per rules.(RAJEEV KUMAR DUBEY) JUDGE (ra) Digitally signed by RANJEET AHIRWAL Date: 15/04/2019 11:15:48","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The facts of the case, in short, are that, on 28.11.2010, at about 7 a.m. in the morning, the complainant Nathu (P.W.1) went to village Bakaswaha for shopping and therefore, he went to meet his daughter, the deceased prosecutrix.When he reached the house of his daughter, he found that Roop Singh (P.W.3) and Jai Singh, children of the deceased were crying and they informed that the accused Ramji and Ganesh came in the previous evening and stayed in their house for the entire night.In the night, Ramji held-:- 3 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 the hands of the deceased and Ganesh assaulted her by an axe on her neck and therefore, she had died.When Nathu went inside the house, he saw the dead body of his daughter and thereafter, he came out and he found that neighbours Dhaniram (P.W.2) and Kayyum (P.W.4) and Jinnu Jain (P.W.5) were present.A merg intimation, Ex.P/1 was also recorded.The police went to the spot and Panchayatnama lash, Ex.P/4 was prepared and dead body of the deceased was sent for post-mortem.L.L.Ahirwar (P.W.8) did the post-mortem on the body of the deceased and gave his report, Ex.He found 4 incised wounds on the neck of the deceased.Out of them, 2 wounds were fatal in nature and due to those injuries, the deceased had expired.He found that left jaw of the deceased was also broken.Vaginal swab of the deceased was taken on the slide and handed over to the concerned constable, after its sealing.Shri R.P.Verma (P.W.12) SHO, Police Station Bakaswaha had investigated the matter.He observed the formalities of the investigation of the spot.The appellants were arrested and clothings of the accused Ramji were seized and sealed.In report, Ex.P/27, given by the FSL expert, it was-:- 4 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 found that sperm and semen particles were found in the vaginal swab of the prosecutrix and on her underwear but, such spots were not found sufficient for serum test.Similarly, on the article 'K', the axe is alleged to be seized from the appellant Ganesh, blood was found on it but, it was not proved that there was any human blood on that axe, whereas blood group of the deceased was 'AB'.He did not turn hostile for seizure etc. However, for few points he was declared hostile.Under such circumstances, the evidence given by Dhaniram (P.W.2) appears to be important.Dhaniram has stated that at about 6 a.m. in the morning, Roop Singh came out of the house and told that someone killed his mother.When he came out of the house he did not tell to Dhaniram, Kayyum and Jinnu Jain that the appellants killed his mother.He says only a single blow was given by the appellant Ganesh, whereas Dr.Ahirwar found 4 incised wounds on the left neck of the deceased.If the story told by the witness is accepted as it is then, it would be apparent from the evidence given by other witnesses that the deceased was a widow, who was not given any share in the family property by her father-in-law.The accused Ganesh, real brother-in- law of the deceased was initially residing in the same locality but, thereafter, he went to stay with his father.If he had(15.7.2014) The following judgment of the Court was delivered by: N.K.Gupta, J. A criminal reference No.7/2013 has been referred by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bijawar, District Chhatarpur against the same judgment dated 23.8.2013 in S.T.No.71/2011 against which the-:- 2 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 appellants/accused Ganesh and Ramji have preferred the criminal appeal No.2311/2013, therefore, both the matters are being decided by this common judgment.Since death sentence was passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge therefore, the death reference is referred to this Court.On intimation given by Ganesh, one axe was also seized.Seized property was sent for forensic science analysis.After due investigation, the charge-sheet was filed before the concerned JMFC, who committed the case to the Sessions Judge, Chhatarpur and ultimately, it was transferred to the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bijawar.The appellants abjured their guilt.They took a plea that they were falsely implicated in the matter.However, no defence evidence was adduced.The learned Additional Sessions Judge after considering the prosecution's evidence, convicted and sentenced the appellants as mentioned above.Death sentence was recorded against the appellants for offence under Section 302 of IPC.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length.First of all it is to be considered as to whether death of the deceased was homicidal in nature.-:- 5 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 respect, evidence of Dr.L.L.Ahirwar (P.W.8) who proved the post-mortem report, Ex.P/22, in which he found that 4 incised wounds were caused on the neck of the deceased prosecutrix.Out of them, first two were fatal in nature.Description of the wounds is as under:-(1)Incised wound 10 X 4 X 3 cms on left side of neck.(2)Incised wound 6 X 2 X 1 cms on left side of neck.(3)Incised wound 2 X 1 X 1 cms on left side of neck.(4)Incised wound 2 X 1 X 1 cms on left side of neck.Entire left jaw of the deceased was found fractured and in opinion of Dr.Ahirwar those injuries were sufficient to cause death of the deceased.Looking to the opinion of Dr.Ahirwar, it was established by the prosecution that death of the deceased was homicidal in nature.The prosecution has examined Roop Singh (P.W.3) as an eye witness, who is a child witness, aged 6 years.The deceased was the mother of child Roop Singh.According to Roop Singh, the appellants came in the previous evening of the incident to his house and resided in the night.He got up because he received a push from the left leg of the appellant Ganesh and he found that the appellant Ramji held legs of the deceased and the appellant Ganesh assaulted the deceased by an axe.He has stated that in the morning, his maternal grandfather (P.W.1) came to his house and he told-:- 6 -:-A merg intimation, Ex.P/1 was also recorded at Police Station Bakaswaha.However, some discrepancies arose in the story told by Roop Singh and his maternal grandfather Nathu.Initially Nathu did not state about the rape committed upon the deceased prosecutrix and story told in the FIR, Ex.P/2 and merg intimation, Ex.P/1 was that the appellants killed the deceased.However, Nathu as well as Roop Singh improved the story that Roop Singh saw the appellants committing rape on the prosecutrix.If he would have seen the fact of rape committed by the appellants then, certainly he could say that he saw any of the appellants lying upon the prosecutrix or he found that the clothings of the prosecutrix were removed.Roop Singh could not say anything about that fact.Looking to his statement about the alleged rape, it appears that he was tutored by his maternal grandfather to that fact.Hence, the possibility cannot be ruled out that he was tutored about the entire incident.Roop Singh has stated that in his presence, the appellant Ramji had held the legs of the prosecutrix and the appellant-:- 7 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 Ganesh gave a blow of an axe on the neck of the prosecutrix, whereas Dr.Ahirwar found 4 different injuries on the neck of the prosecutrix and therefore, if Roop Singh was the eye witness, he would have seen 4 assaults caused by the appellant Ganesh.It is a material contradiction between the statement of the eye witness and the medical evidence.Thirdly, it is stated by the witness Roop Singh that the accused Ramji threatened him to either sleep or else, he would also be killed.Witness Roop Singh therefore, went to sleep and he got up only in the morning.Such conduct as depicted by the eye witness Roop Singh appears to be unnatural.If mother of the child was injured by the accused persons then, his natural conduct could be that he would pretended himself to be sleeping but, as and when the accused persons disappeared from the house, he would have tried to make hue and cry or to get some help to his mother if she was alive.It was not possible for a child that after getting a threat, he would go to sleep till the next morning.All such discrepancies indicate that possibility of tutoring of the child witness cannot be ruled out.Nathu and Roop Singh were asked about the death of Veer Singh, husband of the deceased.Both of them accepted that Veer Singh was not given any share from the family property by his father and therefore, he committed-:- 8 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 suicide.Child witness Roop Singh has stated that the appellant Ganesh was his real uncle and the accused Ramji was cousin of the accused Ganesh.In the light of the aforesaid judgments, the evidence of witness Roop Singh is to be examined as to whether he was tutored witness or his testimony can be relied upon.In the present case, Dhaniram (P.W.2) is an important witness.Dhaniram and Nathu have accepted that initially Dhaniram was residing at village Jaitpura and he was considering the deceased as his niece due to relation of the village.The police took him as a witness for the statement of the accused persons under Section 27 of the Evidence Act and seizure etc. He is the witness of entire investigation.He did not mention the name of anyone.It is apparent from the statement of Roop Singh that after the incident, the main door was closed from outside by latches and on his knocking, some Khatik had opened the door.It was expected from the child to inform about the death of his mother to the person, who opened the door but, the child Roop Singh could not exactly-:- 10 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 say as to who opened the latches.Parsadi Khatik (P.W.13) was examined to establish that he had opened the latches but, he turned hostile and he did not say anything about the incident.According to the witness Nathu, when he reached to the house of the deceased, both the children were weeping and there was nobody except them, whereas Dhaniram (P.W.1) has accepted that after hearing the cries of Roop Singh etc. he, Kayyum (P.W.4) and Jinnu Jain (P.W.5) went to the spot at about 6 a.m. in the morning.Dhaniram has categorically stated that one Ramlal informed the police by phone and when the police came to the spot, the parents of the deceased were called from village Jaitpura.According to the witnesses Dhaniram, Kayyum and Jinnu Jain, they reached at the spot at about 6 a.m. in the morning, whereas, Nathu claims that he reached at the spot at 7 a.m. in the morning.Looking to such discrepancies, where child witness Roop Singh did not inform any of the witnesses namely Dhaniram, Kayyum and Jinnu that the appellants had stayed in his house in the previous night and they killed his mother, his testimony is not trustworthy.Dhaniram, Kayyum and Jinnu Jain have stated that they did not find the appellants in the house of the deceased in the night.They did not hear the voice of appellants or the deceased relating to quarrel.They did not-:- 11 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 hear that TV was on in the late night.In this connection, if the FIR, Ex.-:- 12 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 morning and after getting knowledge of the incident, he rushed to the police station and FIR was lodged at 7.15 a.m. and prima facie, it appears that FIR was lodged promptly but, if version of Dhaniram is considered then, it would be apparent that Nathu came to the spot when he was called by the police.Nathu tried to explain that he came to Bakaswaha for marketing and therefore, he also went to the house of his daughter to meet her.His explanation appears to be unnatural because shops of the market would have opened after 10 a.m. and therefore, it was not necessary for Nathu to leave his village at 6 a.m. in the morning.Secondly, if he came all alone for the purpose of marketing then, there was no possibility of his family members to remain present at the time when the document of Panchayatnama lash, Ex.P/4 (memo relating to description of dead body) was prepared.In that memo, dead body was identified by Ramsakhi, unmarried sister of the deceased and Preetam Singh, brother of the deceased alongwith Nathu, father of the deceased.Presence of Ramsakhi and her brother indicates that statement of Dhaniram is correct.Witness Nathu did not come to the house of his daughter at 7 a.m. on his own and he reached to the spot when he was called by the police.Under such circumstances, it would be apparent that Nathu Singh did-:- 13 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 not reach to the spot at 7 a.m. and therefore, he could not lodge the FIR, Ex.P/2 at 7.15 a.m. The FIR registered by the police appears to be ante timed.When FIR itself is under question for being delayed or ante timed then, it is necessary to examine as to whether the provisions of Section 157 of the Cr.P.C. were complied with or not.In this connection, the witness R.P.Verma (P.W.12) has exhibited the counter of FIR, Ex.P/2-A to show that it was sent to the concerned Magistrate within time.According to the circulars issued by the High Courts, it is necessary for every Magistrate to mention the date and time on each counter of FIR when it was received.-:- 14 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 ""Ishwar Singh Vs.If Roop Singh was an eye witness, he would have-:- 15 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 seen all the 4 assaults caused by the appellant Ganesh.The conduct of Nathu appears to be unnatural that he claims to reach the house of the deceased at 7 a.m., whereas looking to his purpose, it was not necessary for him to leave his village at 6 a.m. in the morning in the cold season.It was natural that if latches of the front door were closed from outside then, someone must have opened the latches and the child would have informed that person and neighbours about the incident, whereas Nathu claims that he was the first person who reached to the spot and he found that Roop Singh and his brother were crying, whereas Dhaniram claims that initially he and other neighbours had reached to the spot.One Ramlal informed the police on phone and thereafter, police called the witness Nathu from his village.The witness Roop Singh made an allegation against the appellants that they committed rape upon the prosecutrix and thereafter, killed her.-:- 16 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 strained relations with the deceased then, certainly he would not have been permitted to take dinner in the house of the deceased and to stay in the night.Ganesh had his own house in the same village then, there was no necessity for him to stay in the house of the deceased for the entire night and if the prosecutrix permitted him to stay in the house then, it would be apparent from her conduct that she permitted the appellants to stay in the house for the entire night, so that she could have cohabitation with them otherwise, there was no reason for such stay.If the prosecutrix was ready to have cohabitation with the appellants then, there was no possibility of any resistance from her side and there was no need to the appellants to kill her.Under such circumstances, the allegation as prepared in the FIR, Ex.P/2 and told by the child witness Roop Singh appears to be unnatural and therefore, if he claims to be an eye witness for such an unnatural instance then, his testimony cannot be believed.-:- 17 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 Dhaniram, Kayyum and Jinnu Jain.On the contrary, it appears that it is an ante timed document.Under such circumstances, in the light of aforesaid judgments of Hon'ble the Apex Court, the evidence of witness Roop Singh cannot be accepted eye witness.Upon ocular evidence being discarded then, it becomes the duty of the Court to consider other circumstantial evidence with a view to assess that it is sufficient in the ordinary course to prove the guilt of the accused.In the present case, first circumstance shown by the prosecution is that the appellants came to the house of the deceased in the previous evening and they resided in her house.Dhaniram (P.W.2) has accepted that he saw the appellants in the evening in front of the shop of the prosecutrix but, Dhaniram, Kayyum and Jinnu Jain did not accept that they heard any noise of any quarrel between the appellants and the deceased in the night or they heard the sound of TV viewed by the appellants in the night in the house of the deceased.They had no knowledge as to whether the appellants resided in the house of the deceased on that night.In this context, witness Roop Singh (P.W.3) has stated that the appellants resided in the house of the deceased in the night.However, as discussed above, when-:- 18 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 the appellant Ganesh had his own house in the same village then, there was no need to the appellants to stay in the house of the deceased prosecutrix and there was no need to the deceased to invite them for dinner and therefore, it appears that the child witness Roop Singh is fully tutored and therefore, by considering the entire evidence, it is not proved beyond doubt that the appellants stayed in the house of the deceased prosecutrix for the entire night.It is proved by Dhaniram that they were seen in front of the shop but, such a fact cannot be considered as a fact of last seen because if they were found in front of the shop in the evening then, at about 11 p.m., the deceased prosecutrix must have closed the doors of her shop and after taking her dinner, she must have slept on her mattress and therefore, by mere presence of the appellants in the evening in front of the shop of the deceased, no circumstantial evidence is created against them relating to the factum of last seen.Second circumstance shown by the prosecution is that the appellant Ganesh admitted his guilt under Section 27 of the Evidence Act and a memo, Ex.P/9 was recorded.Thereafter, one axe was recovered from the appellant Ganesh and a memo, Ex.P/11 was recorded.Similarly, clothings of the appellant Ganesh were seized with a memo, Ex.However, no human blood was found either on the clothings-:- 19 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 or on axe and therefore, seizure of axe as well as clothings is not a material evidence against the appellants.The confession given by the appellants under Section 27 of the Evidence Act is to be considered for a limited purpose, relating to a new fact arising during investigation and therefore, a very little portion of that confession is admissible under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, whereas remaining portion is inadmissible under Section 24 of the Evidence Act. Under such circumstances, only that portion can be accepted that the appellant Ganesh threw an axe in a gutter.However, according to the FSL report, Ex.P/27, no human blood was found on the clothings of the appellant Ganesh as well as on the axe recovered from him and therefore, confession under Section 27 of the Evidence Act given by the appellant Ganesh has no evidentiary value and it cannot be considered as a circumstance against the appellant.The learned Deputy Advocate General has also submitted that in the vaginal swab of the prosecutrix and on her underwear, Forensic Science Laboratory found semen particles and sperms on them and it is a circumstance against the appellants.The Forensic Science Laboratory did not mention that the semen and sperm particles found on the underwear and vaginal swab slides of the deceased were of the appellants and therefore, by presence of such semen-:- 20 -:-Criminal Reference No.7 of 2013 Criminal Appeal No.2311 of 2013 spots and sperms, it cannot be said that those were of the appellants.Forensic Science Laboratory in its report, Ex.P/27 found that the spots found on articles H-1, H-2 and J-1 were not sufficient for serum examination but, it is no where made clear that as to why serum was not prepared from the spots found on Articles - I i.e. slide of vaginal swab of the deceased.Similarly, the serum slides of the appellants 'F' and 'G' were also available with the Forensic Science Laboratory and these 3 articles were sufficient for preparation of serum relating to semen and sperms.It is no where clear as to why the serum of article - 'I' and articles 'F' and 'G' was not prepared and compared.Under such circumstances, the prosecution failed to prove that in the vaginal swab of the prosecutrix, semen or sperms of the appellants were found.Also, if the memo under Section 27 of the Evidence Act recorded by the appellants is considered as a whole then, it would be apparent that there was an admission that Ramji committed rape

of 2013 semen obtained from the vaginal swab of the deceased prosecutrix.The learned Deputy Advocate General has tried to submit that strong motive was there against the appellants that they committed rape and killed the deceased.It is established from the evidence of Dhaniram and Roop Singh that Ganesh was real brother-in-law of the deceased who was also ousted by his father and therefore, initially, he was residing in the same locality alongwith his wife, in which the prosecutrix was residing.Thereafter, he shifted his residence to his father's house, situated in the same village in another locality and therefore, the appellants had cordial relations with the deceased prosecutrix.There was no dispute relating to any property between the deceased prosecutrix and the appellants otherwise, they would not have been permitted to reside in the house of the deceased.Again if a motive is gathered from the overt-act of the appellants that when the prosecutrix refused to have relations with the appellant Ganesh, she was killed but, as discussed above, if she was not ready to have cohabitation with the appellants then, there was no reason for her to permit the appellants to

while dealing with the conviction based on circumstantial evidence, circumstances from which conclusion of guilt is to be drawn should in the first instance be fully established, and all the facts so established should also be consistent with only one hypothesis i.e. guilt of accused.Onus lies on prosecution to prove that chain of event is complete and not to leave any doubt in the mind of the Court.In the light of aforesaid judgment, if evidence of the present case is considered then, the prosecution has failed to prove a complete chain of circumstantial evidence.It is not proved beyond doubt that the appellants were the persons, who committed rape upon the deceased prosecutrix and killed her.-:- 23 -:-The reference sent by the learned Additional Sessions Judge cannot be accepted.The

+"The genesis of the prosecution case was an FIR lodged on 19-12-1977 at 5-15 p.m. by one Devi Das Arya, a social worker, journalist and the president of local Arya Samaj of Police Station Anwarganj, Kanpur.The vision was a Muslim girl of Mandapali, Madras, named Kamla Bi who became orphan.Her brothers were doing some job at Bombay.She went there, but one Khadir Hasan managed to seduce and bring her to Agra on the pretext of getting her married in some house.However, he sold her to one Fatima for Rs. 2,000/-.Fatima, in her turn, allegedly sold her to the accused appellant at Agra itself.The victim heard the bargain being settled from inside the room in which she was locked.The appellant brought her under Burqa by Taxi to Kanpur and put her in House No. 78/17 Behind Moolganj mosque under strong surveillance of another prostitute Lila and forced her to carry on prostitution attending to a number of customers daily.The money was used to be realised by Lila and appellant Shamshad used to come to collect money from her.She herself resided in another House No. 93/ 143, Anwar Ganj at a little distance.The appellant also practised prostitution.On reluctance or refusal of the victim to attend to the customers, she used to be given good thrashing and threats of cutting her nose and hair.Before coming to Bombay, she had come in contact with one Chhotey Lal.This man got the clue and came to Kanpur and met her.The appellant got him arrested and beaten up by the police.JUDGMENT M.C. Jain, J.She has been convicted under Sections 366, IPC, 368, IPC and 376, IPC read with Section 114, IPC.She has been sentenced to four years rigorous imprisonment under Section 366, IPC another four years rigorous imprisonment under Section 368, IPC and five years rigorous imprisonment under Sections 376/114, IPC.All the sentences have been ordered to run concurrently.The facts leading to this appeal are set forth briefly.It was Chhotey Lal, who, being sympathized with the victim, passed on the information to the informant who had strong reputation of rendering services in similar cases.He informed the police 'by means of an FIR and got the victim recovered on 19-12-1977 from House No. 78/ 17 where the appellant was also present.She was found to be aged about 19 years and used to sexual intercourse.The appellant pleaded not guilty.The prosecution examined the victim Kamal Bi P.W. 1 and Devi Das Arya.P.W. 2 in support of the case, besides relying on documents.The victim Kamal Bi narrated the prosecution story set forth above and it is not necessary to repeat the same.Devi Das Arya P.W. 2 also narrated his part in getting the victim recovered and also proved the FIR.Later on, he even got the victim married with Chhotey Lal in Arya Samaj Mandir on request of both of them.I have heard learned counsel for the appellant in support of appeal and learned A.G.A. in opposition thereof.It has been urged that she has been convicted on insufficient evidence.It has specifically been urged that there was no evidence to prove the charge under Section 376, IPC read with Section 114, IPC.It is significant to point out in this regard that it was admitted to the appellant herself that Lila was her tenant.According to her, she was living in separate house and did not know what Lila and Kamal Bi were doing.But her defence was that she was prosecuted because Chhotey Lal used to visit Karnal Bi and she had objected to it and informed the police, got him arrested and beaten up by the police.The police had also taken Kamal Bi to police station.In the lower Court, she filed a written statement also according to which, she was innocent and resided in House No. 93/143, Anwarganj and not in house No. 78/17 which was occupied by her tenant Lila from whom she used to realize rent every month or every fortnight.Lila had given shelter to Kamal Bi, saying that she belonged to her village.Chhotey Lal used to visit Kamal Bi and get her to practise prostitution on which he reported the matter to the police.Chhotey Lal asserted that he was her husband.People, therefore, got annoyed from her and Chhotey Lal brought in picture Devi Das Arya and got her arrested, though she did not know what profession Lila and Kamal Bi were carrying on and she never realized and money on this Court from them.According to her, Devi Das Arya was a professional witness.P.C. she gave her profession as prostitution.On a careful judicial scrutiny of the evidence on record, particularly that of the victim Kamla Bi P.W. 1, it leaves not the slightest doubt that the appellant had actual domination and control over the victim through Lila.She was virtual prisoner and bounded person completely under the dominion and control of the appellant.The appellant was physically present when the victim was recovered by the Police at the behest of Devi Das Arya P.W. 2, The evidence is clinching that the victim had been abducted to compel her to illicit intercourse.She had come under the control and dominion of the appellant only for this purpose and she had purchased her from Fatima like a cattle.It also admits of no doubt that she was wrongfully keeping her in confinement for the purpose aforesaid.Technically, however, the offence of Section 376, IPC was not proved for want of specific evidence in this behalf.In the result, the appeal would be partly allowed, so far as the conviction part is concerned.Coming to the sentence part, learned counsel for the appellant has invited the Court's attention to the statement of the appellant made under Section 313, Cr.P.C. on 22-10-1981 wherein she gave her age as 55 years.She must now be of about 76 years of age.There is under observation of trial Judge also that she was ailing at that time with some chest trouble.Looking to these facts, no useful purpose would be served by sending the aged lady to jail.The ends of justice would be metby sentencing her to pay fine of Rs. 10,000/- for the offence under Section 366, IPC and a sum of Rs. 10,000/-as fine for the offence under Section 368, IPC directing to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years in default of payment of fine on each count.It is finally ordered as under :--The appeal is partly allowed.The conviction and sentence of appellant Shamshad Bai under Section 376, IPC read with Section 114, IPC are set aside.However, her conviction under Section 366 and 368, IPC is maintained.","['Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"It is the case of the plaintiff that the right of such property being enjoyed by the DDA is without authority of law.The Director of DDA informed the plaintiff that the suit land was transferred to the DDA in the year 1982 by the Ministry of Rehabilitation, Government of India under a package deal in pursuance to the letter dated 4/1978-55-11 on 'as is where is basis'.The plaintiff was not able to state any reason as to why the status of the properties which existed at site was not disclosed in the plaint.He conceded that he had seen the revenue records himself sometimes for the first time in 1990s and that the jauhar was very old.The sale deeds state that the vendor is the owner and 'in possession' of the land in question and the land is being sold for the bona fide needs and requirements of the vendor.The sale deeds also state that the vendor has handed over the physical possession of the land to the vendee in execution of the sale deed and that the vendor is left with no title or interest in the suit property.The land is claimed to be the exclusive property of the vendor and that the principal was alive and had not cancelled or revoked the attorney.He is to be above the greeds of the world.In fact, in his deposition he has stated that his relationship with his family ceases once he becomes a Mahant.JUDGMENT Sanjay Kishan Kaul, J.The plaintiff, claiming to be a Mahant of Kalkaji Mandir, has filed the present suit for declaration, possession and injunction through his attorney Mr.Satish Kumar.The attorney is the natural born brother of the Mahant.The case of the plaintiff is that the plaintiff is the lawful owner of 50% share of Khasra No. 629 measuring 4 bigha 2 biswa, Khasra No. 630 measuring 18 bigha 9 biswa, Khasra No. 633, 633/1, 633/2 and 633/2/1 measuring 185 bigha and 1 biswa in Village Bahapur.The remaining land after acquisition is stated to be 45 bigha and 10 biswa out of which the share of the plaintiff is stated to be 22 bigha and 15 biswa.The plaintiff claims that after demarcation of the land which resulted in Suit No. 342/1991, the plaintiff approached the Director (Lands) DDA and asked him to restore the land occupied and fenced by the DDA which measured 22 bigha and 15 biswa as the same was never acquired.The plaint sets out the cause of action for filing the suit as having arisen in the first week of January, 1998 when the plaintiff discovered that the DDA was fencing the land and apparently raised boundary walls encompassing the said land and started developing the same into a green area by trespassing in the suit property of the plaintiff.The period of limitation being 12 years, it is claimed that the cause of action had arisen only in the first week of January, 1998 and, thus, the suit was within time.The plaintiff sought a decree of declaration that the plaintiff was a lawful owner of 22 bigha and 15 biswa of land situated in village Bahapur, Delhi; a decree of possession directing the defendants (UOI as defendant No. 1, Land & Building Department of the Govt. of NCT of Delhi as defendant No. 2 and DDA as defendant No. 3) to restore possession of the suit property to the plaintiff, a decree of mandatory injunction directing defendants to remove the fencing, boundary walls, if any, as also a decree of permanent injunction restraining the defendants from alienating, transferring and changing character of the land and from creating any third party interest in the suit property.The verification date of 25.2.1999 appears to be a typographical error as the date in the month are filled in hand while the year of 1999 is typed out.The plaintiff along with the suit filed an application under the provisions of Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 (hereinafter referred to as the CPC) seeking interim relief against the DDA from raising any boundary walls around the suit property shown in the site plan in red or from changing the nature and character of the suit as also from alienating and transferring the same to any third party.This fact has been mentioned as also the date of attestation as it could have some bearing on the matter.The DDA, defendant No. 3, filed its written statement contesting the suit.It is the case of the DDA that the suit land came within Site No. 49 in terms of the sketch of the surveyed land in Kalkaji which was handed over to the DDA vide documents dated 28.9.1983 and 29.12.1983 on payment of Rs. 30.00 crores for maintenance, development and disposal of the said land under the provisions of the Delhi Development Act. The land in question is stated to be green belt maintained by the DDA.The DDA states that on verification from revenue records, some parts of Khasra Nos. 629, 630 and 633 were found to fall in Site No. 49 which were so allotted and transferred to the Ministry of Rehabilitation.The position about the land acquired and the remaining land has also been explained in the written statement but it is not necessary at this stage to deal with the same in detail.It is stated that as per the Jamabandi of the year 1908-09 of Khasra No. 630 there used to be a pond in the centre of the land and the land was enjoyed by the Pujaris of the Kalkaji Temple and Shamlat thok comprising of Bhramins and the Jogies in equal share.Some encroachments are alleged to have been made which have been removed by the DDA.In sum and substance, the stand of the DDA is that this land, of which the plaintiff is claiming the right, vested with the DDA for managing the same and the plaintiff had no exclusive rights over it.In the suit even issues have not been framed when applications started coming in for impleadment as parties by the applicants who claimed interest in the said land on account of the fact that it was Shamlat Thok of Brahmins and Jogies who had 50% share each in the land.It may be noticed that there is a dispute about the percentage of share of land but that aspect is also not again which has to be gone into in the present suit as a separate suit is stated to be pending in respect of the same.It was deemed expedient in the given facts of the case to issue notice to the Land and Building Department of Govt. of NCT of Delhi as the position about the status of the land was not emerging clearly.This was so since it was not apparent as to how the public authority claimed possession of the land and as to whether the land had been so acquired.In pursuance to such notice, Mr.Sanjay Poddar, learned Counsel entered appearance on behalf of the Land and Building Department, Govt. of NCT of Delhi.It was explained that a notification was issued by the Government of India on 26.3.1949 under Section 3 of the Resettlement of Displaced Persons (Land Acquisition) Act, 1948 where Khasra No. 638 has been shown as the acquired land and mentioned under Village Bahapur.In respect of Khasra No. 629, 2 bigha and 1 biswa was acquired by notification dated 13.11.1959 but the balance portion in respect of which the plaintiff claims right was stated to be a road since 1908 under the Wilson survey.Khasra No. 630 consisted of 18 bighas and 14 biswa of land out of which 5 bigha had been acquired vide notification dated 13.11.1959 while the balance 18 bigha and 9 biswa was a pond (water body) and was stated to be continuing as such.It is necessary to note what has been stated by the said two persons under oath.The plaintiff claimed that he was the disciple of Mahant Ram Nath Ji from about 1970 and became a Mahant in 1992 on the demise of Mahant Ram Nath Ji.He further stated that he could keep property as a Mahant though he would not inherit any property from his father and the property owned by the Mahant would be managed by the new Mahant.Mahant Prithvi Nath was stated to be the guru of Mahant Ram Nath Ji and Mahant Prithvi Nath Ji had made a Will bequeathing his estate to Mahant Ram Nath Ji.Mahant Ram Nath Ji is stated to have made a Will in favor of the plaintiff though it was conceded that such a Will was not filed in any proceedings so far including in relation to the dispute pending about his Mahantship.The plaintiff Mahant stated that he was a graduate by qualification and that he was aware of the present suit filed.It was further stated that the suit land consisting of 22 bigha and 16 biswa of land had a park of the DDA though it was stated that he had not seen the site as to what else existed on the land in question.He conceded that he stayed in the Kalkaji Mandir.On a query being posed, he conceded that there was a jauhar on the land and there was a road between the jauhar and the mandir.The plaintiff has stated that the plaint was not signed and verified by him but was filed through his attorney Mr.Satish Kumar.The same was shown to the plaintiff before it was filed.He further could not state any reason as to why after becoming a Mahant in 1992 it had taken him eight years to file a suit for possession.The only reason given was that he was verifying the records.The plaintiff further conceded that half of the share of the total land lies with the plaintiff while the other half remains with the families of the Brahmins.After recording the statement of the plaintiff, the statement of Mr.Satish Kumar, the attorney of the plaintiff was recorded.The attorney has stated that he was running a business of trading of herbal products and was educated up to inter class.The attorney stated that he was looking after all the land affairs of the plaintiff for which he was paid a remuneration of Rs. 10,000/- per month apart from other expenses.He again reiterated that the plaint was shown to the plaintiff and that what was stated in the plaint was correct.The attorney admitted that he had gone to the site where the land is located and the land was possessed by the DDA and there was a park and a road apart from a jauhar on the road.The demarcation stated to have been carried out in the year 1989 when he was the attorney.Even at that time he was looking after the lands on behalf of the previous Guruji.It was conceded that from 1986 to the year 2000 no steps were taken to seek possession of the land though they kept on approaching the revenue authorities.The attorney has stated that he has no personal right in the land but for the first time disclosed that he had entered into agreements in respect of the suit land with the third parties and even executed sale deeds which had not been filed in Court.He categorically stated that the plaintiff was duly informed of all the transactions and that he did not inform his advocate about the same.The sale was stated to be on 'as is where is' basis and the agreement was at the rate of one lakh per bigha and on the land getting cleared, the plaintiff was to get a minimum of Rs. 500/- and the maximum amount of Rs. 1,000/- per square yard.The sale deed was stated to have been executed as attorney and the money was still lying with the attorney.The name of the purchasers was given as Mr.Mahender Pal, Mr.Akhilesh Singh and Ms.Anita Yogi with all the original documents being in the possession of the attorney.The whole land was stated to have been sold and the sale deeds duly registered.The attorney further stated that he had seen the Khasra Girdwari and Jama Bandi and the land was registered in the name of the Mahant and he obtained the documents from the revenue authorities which were filed with the plaint.In view of the said statement, the plaintiff was examined again and on being asked stated that he did not know that the land had been sold.He, however, stated that the land of the Mahant could be sold in case of necessity or need.The plaintiff claimed that it is only on 3.12.2007 that he had been informed about the sale of the land and no money had been credited to his account.He further stated that he had not specifically asked his attorney to sell the land though the land could have been sold for some charitable purposes or activities connected with the temple but not for profit motive.In view of the contradictions between what was stated by the plaintiff and the attorney, it was observed that the matter required a deeper examination.The plaintiff was stating that he had no knowledge of the sale while his attorney stated that he was fully informed of the same.A direction was issued that all documents be filed in this Court which have since been so filed.20. Learned Counsel for the plaintiff today states that the suit as framed is not maintainable as without seeking partition of the land in which the plaintiff claims 50% share, the possession could not have been asked for.The sum and substance of the opposition is that though the plaintiff may be permitted to withdraw the suit, no leave ought to be granted to file any fresh suit in view of the conduct of the plaintiff who has come with unclean hands before the Court and has failed to disclose the material aspects.Interestingly a new counsel, Mr.A further plea of the learned Counsel for the defendants is that the suit, being an abuse of the process of the Court, exemplary costs ought to be imposed on the plaintiff while dismissing the suit.It is further pleaded that the present case is a fit one where proceedings must be initiated against the plaintiff and his attorney under Section 340(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as the Cr.P.C.).The original sale deeds have been filed on record which number seven.All the sale deeds have been executed on 26.10.1999 for different portions of land.Three sale deeds have been executed in favor of Mr.Mahender Pal, two sale deeds in favor of Smt.Anita Yogi and two sale deeds in favor of Mr.Akhilesh Singh.Mahender Pal is another brother of the plaintiff (and thus also brother of the attorney) while Smt.Anita Yogi is the wife of Mr.Mahender Pal.Akhilesh Singh is the brother of Smt.Anita Yogi.Mahender Pal and Smt.Anita Yogi are residents of Bhairon Mandir, Kalkaji while Mr.Akhilesh Singh is a resident of Rohini.The common thread which runs through all the sale deeds is that they have been executed through Mr.Satish Kumar, the attorney.Satish Kumar has a registered power of attorney so registered on 7.10.1998 and executed by the plaintiff Mahant.The said registered power of attorney is irrevocable and has been made specifically for the purposes of sale of the property in question and for obtaining necessary permissions for the same.Apart from this, authority has also been given for construction on the land obtaining, obtaining water and electricity connection, instituting legal proceedings, collecting compensation or taking allotment of alternative plot.The attorney further authorises appointment of other attornies by the attorney so appointed.An appreciation of the aforesaid facts show that the suit is replete with the concealment of material facts.",['Section 193 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Shahul Hameed, the appellant herein, was a Class IV employee in the Accountant General's Office, Trivandrum Vijayachandran, the deceased, who had studied upto the predegree course, was residing at Pettdh, about 2 or 3 miles away from the city of Trivandrum.Mohanchandran (PW 1), the brother of the deceased, was studying for the B.Sc.degree course, at the relevant time.On March 5, 1970, the appellant who was original accused 1, and one Perumal who was original accused 2, gave a beating to Ramchandran, and Suseelan, friends of the deceased.After that beating, both the assailants were waiting for a bus at the Statue Bus Stop near the University College.The deceased and his brother, PW 1, came to the bus stop, where they learnt from their friends about their beating The deceased then slapped the appellant and a scuffle ensued.The by standers interceded and separated them.The appellant proclaimed that he would see that the deceased did not beat any person any more.Two days thereafter on March 7, 1970 at about 7.00 p m., the appellant and his three 'co-accused were standing at the bus stop called Spencer Junction near south eastern gate of the University College.The deceased and his brother, PW 1, alighted from a bus at the University College Bus Stop and proceeded south along the main road towards the Indian Coffee House, where their friends, one Radhakrishnan, had invited them to tea to celebrate the latter's appointment in the Syndicate Bank When the deceased and his brother came near the Spencer Junction, the appellant shouted that he was waiting for them, adding whether they had become so bold as to come from their house there to the main road to settle matters.On hearing this challenge, PW 1 and she deceased quickened their pace.The appellant and his companions ran after them and gave blows with their hands On receiving the blows, the deceased and his brother ran south pursued by the appellant and his companions.The appellant was carrying the dagger (M C. 1).He reached close on the heels of the deceased and stabbed him in the back.On receiving the blow, the deceased turned round.The appellant then stabbed him again with sufficient force on the left chest below the nipple.The deceased staggered further 7 or 8 paces and fell down.The appellant was about to stab him again, when PW 7, who was nearby, picked up an iron rod from near the Statute and hit the appellant on the head.Thereupon, the appellant and his companions flad from the place toward the north.Apart from PW 1 the occurrence was witnessed by PW 2, whose shop was situated close to the scene of occurrence.Just after the occurrence, the Mayor passed that way.He phoned to the City Control Room from the shop of PW 2 for rendering necessary assistance to the deceased who lay injured on the spot.JUDGMENT R.S. Sarkaria, J.This appeal by special leave is directed against a judgment, dated July 28, J972, of the High Court of Kerala, whereby the appellant's conviction under Section 299(1) (Section 304?), Penal Code was converted into one under Section 302, Penal Code, with a sentence of imprisonment for life.Within five minutes, the Police van arrived and removed Vijayachandran to the Medical College Hospital; while PW 1 went to the Cantonment Police Station, 300 metres away, and ledged the First Information Report (Ex P-1) at 7.00 p.m The deceased was examined on his arrival in the Hospital at 7.45 p.m. and was declared dead by the doctor.The appellant and accused 2 and 3 were arrested on March 13, 1970, while the 4th accused was arrested later.After his arrest, the appellant is said to have made a statement Ex. P 15(a) regarding the injuries sustained by him.On the basis of that statement, a cross-case under Section 324, 323 read with 34, Penal Code, was registered against PW 1, PW 7 and the deceased.After investigation, the Police referred the cross case; white in the other case, the appellant and his companions were charge sheeted to stand their trial to respect of various offences, including that of she murder of Vijayanchandran.The appellant also filed a private complaint (Ex P.19), wherein he named nine persons, including PWs.1, 6 and 7 and Suseelan as his assailants.The complaint was to the effect, that those accused-persons, including the deceaeed, formed an unlawful assembly in furtherance of the common object of which on March 7, 1970, they made a conceited assault on the complaintant when he was about to cross the road for going to the India Coffee House.In particular, it was alleged that PW 1 had fisted the complaintant with a folded knife; while PW 7 kicked him in the abdomen falling him to the ground.It was further alleged that when the complainant was lying on the ground, the deceased stabbed him on the head with a weapon which locked like a chopper.Several persons collected there, Then the complainant escaped and ran south to the Cantonment Police Station and gave an information.One motive for the occurence, mentioned in the complaint, was that the accused named by him harboured hostility on account of a previous quarrel that took place on March 5 1970, when PWs 1 and 7 and the deceased had harassed the complainant and exchanged blows.Both the cases were tried separately but concurrently.The complaint made by the appellant against some of the PWs, and deceased ended in acquittal; while in Vijayachandran's murder case, the Session Judge convicted the first accused (appellant) under Section 299 Part II, Penal Code, (evidently a mistake for Section 304, Part II) and sentenced him to five years' rigorous imprisonment.He convicted accused 2 to 4 under Section 323, Penal Code, and sentenced each of them to six months' rigorous imprisonment.Aggrieved by the acquittal of the appellant on the charge of murder, the State preferred an appeal to the High Court, The Division Bench, who heard the appeal, was divided in its opinion According to Narayana Pillai J., the acquittal of the appellant on the capital charge deserved to be reversed and converted into the under Section 302, Penal Code On the point of sentence, he would award death penalty to the appellant, V. Kualid J., in his dissenting judgment held that the prosecution witnesses were unreliable and it was not safe to accept the prosecution evidence as wholly true.He left considerable doubt regarding the manner in which the first accused sustained injuries.He would therefore accord the benefit of doubt to the first accused and acquit him of the murder charge.He would acquit accused 2 to 4, also.On account of this difference of opinion, the connected appeals were placed before Issac J. for decision, under Section 429, Criminal Procedure Code.After a careful examination of the entire evidence., Issac J set aside the acquittal of the appellant on the murder charge, and convicted him under Section 302, Penal Code and sentenced him to imprisonment for life.Hence this appeal by special leave.Mr Harindra Nath, learned counsel for the appellant, firstly, tried to contend that the evidence of the alleged eye-witnesses, namely, P.W, 1 PW 2 and PW 7 was not worthy of credence.Secondly, it was argued that the appellant had inflicted the injuries, if at all, on the deceased in the exercise of his right of private defence.Support for this contention was sought from the following circumstances:(a) The deceased and his brother PW 1, were residing in Pattah at a distance of about 2 or 3 miles from the place of occurrence.They had no good reason to come to the place of occurrence at that time.The explanation given by them, that they had been invited there by one Radhakrishnan to take tea at the Coffee House, was false because to such person was present any where near the scene for incident.Nor was the said Radhakrishnan examined.(b) The deceased and his companions, including PW 7, must have tome armed to wreak Vengeance upon the appellant on account of the beating by the latter to their friends and the exchange of blows with the appellant on the 5th March 1970 The explanation given by PW 7 that he picked up the iron-rod from a compound near the place of occurrence was false.His evidence with regard the place where he found the rod was contradictory.In his earlier statement, PW 7 stated that he had picked up the lion-rod from the compound of the Accountant-General's Office whereas in his subsequent statement he deposed to have found it lying near the Statue.(c) Medical evidence shows that the appellants had sustained a grevious injury on the head involving fracture of the outer table of the skull.This injury, was attributed by the appellant in the criminal complaint filed by him to PW 7 and the deceased.PW 1 suppressed the injuries caused to the appellant by the deceased and his companions.In the alternative, it is urged that, in any case, Exceptions II and IV to Section 300, Penal Code, would be attracted, and the offence committed by the appellant was one under Section 304, Part II only.In this premise, it is submitted that the conviction and sentence recorded under Section 304, Part II, Penal Code, by the trial court should be restored; and since the appellant has already undergone imprisonment for more than five years, he should not be committed to jail for an enhanced term.P.W. 1 is, no doubt, the brother of the deceased and, as such, could be called an 'interested' withess.But his version was amply corroborated by the other evidence on the record.His evidence was corroborated by the F I R. which was lodged by him with great promptitude at the Cantonment Police Station, 300 metres away, when he had no time to spin out a false story.Further, PW 2 was an independent and natural witness.He had no axe of his own to grind against the appellant The stabbing of the deceased took place at a distance of 30 40- feet only in front of his shop He testified that on hearing the commotion, he came out into the verandah and saw the appellant, dagger in hand, chasing the deceased, and then giving him the first blow on the buck and the next on the chest.He further stated that when the appellant was about to strike the deceased again, a fair-complexioned boy, meaning PW 7 hit the appellant on the head, The evidence of PW 2, hit any way shaken in cross examination.In his examination under Section 313, Criminal Procedure Code, the appellant states that PW 1 and PW 7, the deceased and some others attacked him : PW 7 hit him with an iron rod on the head, while Vijyachandran struck bins, on the head with a chopper.The appellant then succeeded snatching the chopper from the deceased.The appellant disowned the statement (Ex P:15/A) on the basis of which the Police had registered the cross case.The presence of P.W. 7 at the spot and his participation in the occurrence was thus not denied by the appellant.PW 7, also supported the prosecution story in ail material details, Court below have accepted his evidence and we see no reason to take a different view.Dr. G. Gopinathan (PW 12) who had examined the injuries of the appellant on March 13, 1970, found two injuries on the person of the appellant.One was an infected wound on the left side of the head.The outer table of the skull was found fractured.This defect in the bone was felt at the base of the injury and pus was present in the wound.The second injury found by him was a healed abrasion on the left side of chest.Injury No. 2 was evidently caused with a blunt weapon.With regard to injury No. 1, PW. 12 opined that it could be caused with an iron rod or ever with a sharp weapon.Since the doctor did not note that there was a cut on the outer table of the skull, the greater probability was that this injury had been caused with an iron rod and not with a chopper or other cutting weapon, After the receipt of this stunning injury on the head, the appellant, must have, temporarily at least, lost the capacity to cause any injury to anybody.This means, the appellant received this injury only after he had caused the fatal injury to the deceased.The deceased was unarmed.After being manhandled by the companions of the appellant, the deceased and his brother had turned tail and taken to their heals, Dagger in hard, the appellant chased the fleeing victim, and first stabbed him in the back.He did not stop there and followed up with a stab on the left side of the chest of the deceased, with great force.All these facts unmistakably show that the appellant was the aggressor, and he inflicted these injuries on the deceased maliciously and vindictively, and not in self defence.Exception II to Section 300, Penal Code does not apply, because no right of private defence ever accrued to the appellant.Penal Code, the same also is not attracted.It is impossible to believe that the deceased and his companions came prepared for a fight.The deceased was empty handed.The assertion of the appellant that the deceased came armed with a chopper with which he caused an injury to the deceased, was manifestly false.No such chopper was found or discovered.The version of the appellant, was that he had snatched away that chopper from the deceased and used it against him.This was also patently untrue.The appellant could produce that Chopper before the police.He did nothing of the kind.Moreover, as already observed, the nature of the skull-fracture underneath the injury as noted by the medical witness, shows that the injury on the head of the appellant was not caused with a cutting weapon but with a blunt weapon like an iron-rod.Similarly, the injuries found on the back and chest of the deceased were caused with a stabbing weapon, Thus, the deceased being unarmed, did not and could not cause any injury to the appellant.There was no mutual exchange of blows between the appellant and the deceased.The assault on the deceased by the appellant was deliberate and pressed with determination, when the victim was fleeing for his life.","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"As per this report, accused Raju took her to a fair and mid-way through, made her sniff some intoxicant because of which she became unconscious.Next day, when she regained consciousness, Raju left her in the custody of Amer Khan.It is further averred in this report that during the period she was unconscious, she was taken by Raju from Prithvipur to Jhansi.( 08.02.2019) Heard on the application for grant of leave to appeal under Section 378 (3) of Cr.P.C. 1973 against the judgment of acquittal dated 18.09.2018 passed by First Additional Sessions Judge, Niwari, District- Tikamgarh in Sessions Trial No.217/2015; whereby, respondents were acquitted by the Court below of the offences punishable under Section 376, 344, 379 and 506 (part-II) of the IPC.Learned Government Advocate for the petitioner/State submits that Court below erred in passing the judgment of acquittal; whereas, there was sufficient evidence against the respondents on the strength of which they should have been convicted.Learned Government for the petitioner/State by placing reliance on judgment Lillu @ Rajesh & another Vs.State of Haryana 2013 (3) SCC 643 submits that merely because the prosecutrix had married thrice, her statement cannot be disbelieved.Learned Government Advocate for the petitioner/State by 2 M.Cr.C. No.50448/2018 taking this Court to the statement of prosecutrix submits that she categorically deposed against the respondents, on the strength of which Court below should have passed the judgment against the respondents.2 M.Cr.No other point is pressed by the learned Government Advocate for the petitioner/State.We have heard the learned Government Advocate for the petitioner/State at length and perused the record.The court below has analyzed the statement of prosecutrix in great detail.Her statement was not disbelieved by the court below merely because she was married thrice.The prosecutrix had filed a written report (Ex.P/5), on the basis of which the F.I.R. was recorded.The prosecutrix, in her statement recorded under section 164 IPC had stated that Raju took her to Jhansi and left her in the custody of Amer.In the statement recorded in the court, prosecutrix stated that Raju took her to the fair where Amer Khan met her and gave her the intoxitant to sniff because of which she had become unconscious.Amer Khan took her to Jhansi.In view of aforesaid material contradictions in the statement on the aspect as to who took her to Jhansi, the court below disbelieved her statement.We do not find any infirmity in the finding of the court below.The prosecutrix in her statement recorded under section 164 Cr.P.C. stated that she telephoned her mother from Niwari station and; in turn, she was taken by her mother from the said station.The court below rightly held that when prosecutrix had a mobile phone during the period she was allegedly in the custody of accused persons, she could easily have contacted her parents or police, if she wanted to.The prosecutrix has not 3 M.Cr.C. No.50448/2018 deposed anything against accused Raju and Dharampal in relation to offence of rape, wrongful detention, threatening or snatching of gold chain etc.3 M.Cr.In this backdrop, the court below examined the evidence whether any case is made out against the accused Amer Khan.As noticed, the prosecutrix had taken a diametrically opposite stand as to who had taken her to Jhansi.The starting point of incident itself is not established.The prosecutrix's statement that she was in the custody of Amer for one and half month and was subjected to rape during this period repeatedly was disbelieved by court on the ground that during this period she never tried to take help of neighbours and public.In medical examination also, nothing was found which can establish the case of the prosecution beyond reasonable doubt.The prosecutrix reached police station Prithvipur on 28.07.2015 (Ex.P/7).On 31.07.2015, F.I.R was lodged and her undergarments were seized and slide was prepared.As per prosecutrix's statement, eight days before lodging F.I.R (31.07.2015), she came back to her home.The vaginal slide was prepared after about eight days.Thus considering the life span of sperms, the court below rightly opined that it cannot be safely concluded that said sperms were of Amer Khan.More so, when prosecutrix had categorically deposed that after the incident she had taken bath and changed her cloths.Dr. Richa Jain (P.W.14) in her examination opined that no internal or external injury was found on the body of prosecutrix and no definite opinion regarding rape could be given.After considering the relevant evidence, the court below opined that prosecution has failed to establish its case.In the considered opinion of this court, the court below has meticulously examined the evidence produced before it and reached a plausible and correct conclusion.No perversity in the findings could be 4 M.Cr.",['Section 164 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Shiv Charan prepared the report(Ext.Ka 27) made endorsement on the same at the G.D. report(Ext.Ka 28) and registered the case against all the appellantsunder Sections 147, 149, 302 and 149 of the I.P.C.The case was initially investigated by Ram Autar Mathur(PW 10) who went to the spot along with two constables but theinvestigation could not be completed because of paucity of light.Next morning the I.O. conducted inquest of the body of deceasedBahadur Singh and recovered one empty cartridge from the spot,collected blood stained and simple earth sample from the spotand prepared recovery memos.Pleura was lacerated.These injuries caused and it may be possible that these injuries caused on dated 19.11.88 at 4.30 o' clock in the evening.These injuries were normal but these injuries are sufficient for death.I had seized from the body of the deceased one cork and 21 metal pallets from the left side's lungs.One Cork and 12 pallets were seized from the right lung and from forensic cavity of muscles.2 Corks and 18 pallets were recovered from the lever and stomach cavity.From the body of the deceased one Baniyan and one Chaddi, One Lungi was recovered and after preparing its Bundles were given to the constable.The injury No. 1 and 2 by Kulahdi Ex2 was possible to have occurred.Axe was shown to the witness injury No.3 to 8 is possible to be caused by fire arms.Injury No. 9 to 10 could be caused by falling on the ground.be caused by fire arms.Injury No. 9 to 10These injuries were sufficient to cause death.These injuries could have been possibly caused on 19.11.88 at about 4.30 in the evening.One cork one big pellet and two small pellets' were recovered from his level and two corks and five small pallets were recovered from his left and right lever.These articles were handed over to the constable after sealing it.That from the body of the deceased one Kurta, One Dhoti, One Baniyan and One ring of Coper were recovered which were sealed and handed over to the Constable who had come with.""This witness was cross examined at some length, but nothingfavourable to the accused could come on record.The statement 24 of this witness clearly shows that there were gun shot injurieson the bodies of both the deceased as well as sphere and kulhariinjuries on their shoulder and neck respectively.Their presence at the site was natural.In addition to this, it must be noticed that upon the statement ofShiv Dayal, the sphere (Ext. Ka 1) was recovered from thebushes of the village Kharwanch in presence of Thakur Das,PW 7, and Kanhaiya Lal.The ld.Sessions Judge, Jhansi,vide its judgment dated 7th August, 1992 after finding all theaccused guilty of different offences, including Section 302 of theIndian Penal Code (hereinafter referred to as ""IPC"") punishedthem.The order of punishment reads as under:""Accused Ram Sanehi, Ramadin, Baladin and Shiv Dayal are hereby sentenced to suffer life imprisonment under section 302/34, I.P.C. for committing murder of Bahadur Singh.They and accused Dharnidhar are also sentenced to life imprisonment under section 302/149, I.P.C. for committing murder of Pyare Lal.Accused Ram Sanehi, Ramadin, Baladin and Shiv Dayal are mentioned to the year's R.I. u/s 148 I.P.C. and accused Dharnidhar is sentenced to six month's R.I. u/s 147, I.P.C. All these sentences shall run concurrently.All the accused preferred appeals against the judgment ofconviction and order of sentence before the High Court whichalso came to be dismissed vide judgment dated March 22, 2004,wherein the High Court declined to interfere either with thefindings of conviction or order of sentence which consequentlystood confirmed.Accused Dharnidhar filed Criminal AppealNo.239 of 2005 against the judgment of the High Court, accusedRam Sanehi along with other accused filed an appeal beingCriminal Appeal No. 429 of 2005 and Shiv Dayal preferred aseparate appeal being Criminal Appeal No. 430 of 2005 againstthe judgment of the High Court.Thus, by this judgment weshall dispose of all the above three appeals as they are directedagainst the common judgment of the High Court and are basedupon common evidence.Sessions Judge, inter alia, is primarilyon the following grounds:i) The alleged eye witnesses PW1 and PW3 are family members of the deceased and as such are interested witnesses.The conviction of the appellants is based, 3 primarily, on the statements of these witnesses, which as such, is liable to be set aside.ii) The prosecution has failed to prove any motive for the alleged commission of the crime.The appellants had no motive to commit the said crime and, therefore, the story put forward by the prosecution stands falsified.iii) The evidence, including the evidence of Dr. P.N.On the contrary, learned counsel appearing for therespondent has vehemently argued that there was sufficientdocumentary and expert evidence on record.The version of theeye witnesses cannot be doubted, their presence on the site wasnatural and they had no reason to falsely implicate all or any ofthe accused in the murder of their brother and father.He also completed theinvestigation at the place of the murder of Pyare Lal.The deadbodies of Bahadur Singh and Pyare Lal were subjected toautopsy on 21.11.1988 by PW6, and he found the followinginjuries on the bodies of the deceased.""Postmortem report of Bahadur SinghAnte mortem injuries:-(1) Gun shot wound of entry 2 = cm x 2 cm x thoracic cavity deep on the left nipple.Blackening present.Direction

The prosecution had amongst others examined Deopal,PW1, Devi Singh, PW 2 and Manohar, PW 3 who had claimedto be the eye witnesses to either or both of the murders.Duringthe course of investigation, recoveries were made upon thestatements made by the accused.Thakur Das, PW 7 was anindependent witness for the recovery of sphere, as pointed out byaccused Shiv Dayal.The investigation of the case was conductedby different officers.H.C. Shiv Charan Singh, PW 11 was postedas Head Muherer and he had prepared (Ext. Ka 27) as well asregistered the case in GD as (Ext.Ka 28).PW1 and PW2 hadfully supported the case of the prosecution.The blood markswere found at both the places of occurrence.After completingthe investigation, challan under Section 173 of the CriminalProcedure Code (hereinafter referred to as `Cr.P.C.') was filed 12 before the Court of competent jurisdiction.After the case wascommitted to the Court of Sessions, all the accused were tried inaccordance with the law.Statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C.was recorded and finally, as noticed above, they were convictedand sentenced by the trial Court and the same was sustained bythe High Court, giving rise to the present appeals.The arguments raised on behalf of the appellants, in fact,can be discussed together inasmuch as they are based uponsomewhat common submissions.There is no doubt that PW1and PW2, both are related to the deceased.The contentionraised before us is that both of them are interested witnessesand have not stated true facts before the Court and thus, theirstatements should be entirely disbelieved.It has come on record that PyareLal was pursuing a case in which members of the family of theaccused persons were involved in a murder.There wasapparently some anger and rift between the families.Accordingto the story of the prosecution, they had come prepared to killBahadur Singh as well as Pyare Lal as they were carrying guns, 13 sphere etc. The deceased were attacked by the accused in thepresence of their brothers, who could not intervene and savethem because of the fear of the gun fire and the manner in whichthe incident occurred.It was but natural for the prosecution toproduce PW1 and PW2 as the main eye witnesses as they hadactually seen the occurrence and they have been believed by thetrial Court, as well as by the High Court.The primary endeavour of the court must be to look for consistency.Thakur Das, PW 7, appeared as awitness and corroborated the evidence of Ranjit Singh, PW 9.The sphere was sent for chemical and serological examination.The report of the Chemical Examiner and Serologist (Ext. Ka 32)was received and it showed that the sphere contained humanblood.The involvement of accused Shiv Dayal along withother accused persons, the recovery of the weapons and the factthat human blood was traced on the recovered weaponcompletes the chain of events relating to the commission of the 25 crime.It will not be in conformity with the settled canons ofcriminal jurisprudence to disregard the evidence merelybecause Devi Singh, PW 2, had made a variable statement whichcould be the result of confusion or lack of understanding thequestion in its proper perspective, more so, when he immediatelyin answer to the Court's question, stated, that he had gone tovillage Durkhuru on the day subsequent to the commission ofthe crime and not on the same day.It will be unfair, in any case,to disbelieve the presence of PW1 and PW3 at the respectiveplaces of occurrence and their statements, merely because PW2'sstatement creates certain doubts as regards his presence.Asalready noticed, the counsel for the appellant had, with somevehemence, argued about the unnatural conduct attributed bythe prosecution to the accused.It was argued that brother ofdeceased Bahadur Singh was right in front of the accused at theplace of first occurrence, and they would have killed him ratherthan going to the other site to kill Pyare Lal, the father ofdeceased Bahadur Singh.This argument hardly cuts ice, muchless, leads to any favourable conclusion for the accused.There 26 is specific evidence on record which has been noticed by theHigh Court as well as by the Trial Court that Bahadur Singhwas prosecuted for the murder of Umrao, Ram Sanehi's fatherand was acquitted.The case was contested by Pyare Lal, fatherof Bahadur Singh.We have already indicated that there is somemotive apparent for commission of the crime, which furtherindicates in the light of this evidence that they preferred to killBahadur Singh and his father Pyare Lal.If this witness was lying, then he would havecertainly deposed that he also was an eye-witness to the firstoccurrence i.e. murder of Bahadur Singh.Thetruthfulness and bona fide of this witness can hardly be doubted.27 He has further deposed that Dharnidhar had not come withother accused but had suddenly entered there and snatched thekulhadi from his father.With that kulhadi, he has causedinjury on the neck of the deceased Pyare Lal.If this witness wasto falsely implicate all the accused, nothing preventing him fromstating that Dharnidhar had come with all other accused andthey together attacked the deceased and also that he was awitness to the murder of Bahadur Singh and that evenDharnidhar was involved in the murder of his brother.Hisstatement is fully supported by PW1, as well as theInvestigating Officer.If they were falsely implicated, in allprobability, PW1, PW2 and the Investigating Officer could havenamed Dharnidhar in relation to the first occurrence, i.e. murderof Bahadur Singh.The attempt was also made to create a dentin the case of the prosecution on the ground that Jawahar, whowas stated to be present, was not examined by the prosecutionand was the only independent witness.Thus, adverse inferenceshould be drawn against the prosecution for this purpose.Thiscontention has rightly been rejected by the learned trial Court 28 and for correct reasons.Shiv Dayal was stated to have given sphere blow to thedeceased Bahadur Singh and thereafter with the intention to killPyare Lal, moved together with the other accused to the sitewhere Pyare Lal was murdered.Dharnidhar had joined RamSanehi, Baladin, Ramadin and Shiv Dayal.Thus, there were 5 34 persons who constituted a common unlawful assembly and werecarrying weapons with an intention to commit an offence.Shiv Dayal has been thrown the bhala to my brother namely Bahadur which was hit to his left shoulder sides chest portion.Then Ramsanehi, Balaprasad and Ramadinhad fired with their own rifflesrespectively.My brother Bahadur fallen onthe ground we persons who were presentthere has not said any word on account offear.After theirdeparture I have seen my brother Bahadur.He was dead.My brother Bahadur was laydown in the court yard which was in frontdoor of the Jawahar Badhai.I Devi andLally have been followed to Ram Sanehi andothers and reached to the court yard of thefield where my father was busy in storingthe jwar.My brother Manohar and motherMula bai were present there.I have seenthat these four accused were present there.In the meanwhile Dharnidhar came fromsome where/or from some place Dharnidharhas snatched the Kulhadi (an axe) from thehands of my father.Ram Sanehi, Baladinalias Balla & Ramadin had fired on myfather from their own riffles.My father laydown on the ground.Dharnidhar wascutting the neck of my father.After hearing theshouting so many persons rushed out here.But they could not reach at the spot.My father had been fallenat the distance of 7 steps away from theMahua Tree in the Ladaiya fields.Whenthe accused persons left that place at thattime we had gone to seen the condition ofmy father.""36 (emphasis supplied) Let us examine the judgments of this Court in relation tocommon intention and commission of crime by the members ofan unlawful assembly.It is a settled principle of law that toshow common intention to commit a crime it is not necessary forthe prosecution to establish, as a matter of fact, that there was apre-meeting of the minds and planning before the crime wascommitted.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"The short facts necessary for disposal of this appeal can be stated thus:(a) P.W.1 is the Village Administrative Officer of Veriappur.On 18.3.2005, at about 12 noon, when he was in his office along with his Assistant Kumaravel, the accused/appellant appeared before him and gave a confessional statement that he threw his child in a well and caused the death of the child.The statement was reduced to writing and marked as Ex.P.W.1 prepared his report under Ex.He produced the accused along with Exs.He interrogated the accused, when he came forward to give a confessional statement and the same was also recorded by the investigating officer.He proceeded to the scene of occurrence, conducted inquest on the dead body of the child and prepared the Inquest Report in the presence of the witnesses and panchayatdars.He prepared the Observation Mahazar and also a rough sketch.Following the same, the dead body was subjected to Postmortem by P.W.10, the doctor attached to the Government Hospital.He opined that the child would appear to have died before 5-6 hours before the commencement of the autopsy due to Asphyxia due to drowning.P.8 is the Postmortem Certificate issued by him.JUDGMENT M. Chockalingam, J.(b) On the strength of Exs.P1 and P2, a case was came to be registered by the respondent Police in Crime No. 61/2005 under Section 302, IPC.The Inspector of Police, P.W.11, took up the investigation on receipt of the Express First Information Report (F.I.R.), Ex.P.6 which was despatched to the Court.(c) The accused was sent to judicial remand and the Material Object which was recovered from the place of occurrence was sent to the Court.On completion of the investigation, the investigating officer filed the final report.The accused was committed to the Court of Sessions.In order to substantiate the charge levelled against the accused, the prosecution marched 11 witnesses and relied on eleven exhibits and one material object.On completion of evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused/appellant was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. He denied them as false.No defence witnesses were examined.After hearing the arguments advanced, on the scrutiny of the materials, the Trial Court took a view that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and found the accused guilty and sentenced to undergo life imprisonment, which is the subject matter of challenge before this Court.The said document Ex.P.1 could not have been come into existence as put forth by the prosecution for more reasons:(a) P.W.1, the Village Administrative Officer has candidly admitted that he has seen the accused only once.They were not previously acquainted.He did not know whether the accused was employed in Pondicherry and thus, in such circumstances, it is highly improbable and impossible that the accused met the Village Administrative Officer and gave such a confessional statement and thus, Ex.P.1 was nothing but one created and fabricated to suit the prosecution case.(b) Added further, the counsel stated that in the instant case, the writing of the charge would read that the child was born in the tenth month from the time of marriage and thus, it could be easily inferred that the fidelity of the wife was suspected.If it be so, the wife of the accused was a necessary and material witness.But, she was not examined for the reasons best known to the prosecution that was fatal to the prosecution case.(c) Thirdly, even from the evidence of P.W.1, he took the accused/appellant at about 12.30 hours and produced before the Police Station and prepared Ex.P.1 by 12.20 p.m., and even the confessional statement alleged to have been recorded by the investigating officer was at about 1.30 p.m. and it is pertinent to point out that the Police Station is situated about 15 kilometres from the place of occurrence.The preparation of Ex.P.1 covering the distance of 15 kilometres, producing the accused before the Police Station within ten minutes and the recording of the confessional statement by the investigating officer at about 1.30 p.m., all would go to show that the documents could not have come into the existence, as put forth by the prosecution, nothing but it is a falsehood and thus, all these documents should have been rejected.Added further, the learned Counsel for the appellant/accused submitted that the medical evidence was not in support of the prosecution case.The doctor thoroughly opined in the Postmortem certificate that the child died out of Asphyxia by drowning and he further placed that no water is found in the lungs.But, the witness spoke that the child was floating and if it be so, and if the child had died out of Asphyxia by drowning, the water should have been found.But, the doctor has given the answer in the negative aspect.But, in this case, the prosecution had the evidence through P.W.1, the Village Administrative Officer to whom the confessional statement was made by the accused.Secondly, the child was found floating in the well and was taken from the well.1. To whom the said extra judicial confession is made?;Whether the person to whom the extra judicial confession is made, his evidence inspires the confidence of the Court?; andHe came to the village in the previous evening with his family and there was a commitment for the child in a temple.Accordingly, he invited his parents.P.1 and he also prepared Ex.The child was taken from the well.But, he came with a different stand when he was questioned under Section 300 of I.P.C. He stated that he went to the well to take bath at 8.00 a.m. on 18.3.2005 and when came back, he found the child missing.He went to the Police Station and a false case has been foisted against him.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"JUDGMENT P.K. Bhasin, J.The three appellants and four other persons, namely, Dr. Amrik Singh, Iqbal Singh, Gursewak Singh and Sarwan Singh were charge-sheeted for the commission of different offences under the Indian Penal Code in Sessions case No. 151/95 in respect of FIR No. 334/83 of Hauz Khas police station.Vide judgment dated 29-05-99 the learned Additional Sessions Judge, New Delhi held appellants Piara Singh and Kewal Singh, both of whom are real brothers, guilty under Sections 302/323 IPC and appellant Piara Singh was also convicted Along with the third appellant Resham Singh under Section 120B r/w Section 218 IPC while the other two accused Amrik Singh and Sarwan Singh, who were tried under Section 120B r/w Section 218 IPC, were acquitted.Resham Singh was convicted under Section 218 r/w 120B IPC also.Accused Gursewak Singh and Iqbal Singh died during the trial and so the case against them abated.Vide order dated 02-06-1999 learned Additional Sessions Judge awarded life imprisonment to appellants Piara Singh and Kewal Singh for the offence of murder and they were also directed to pay a fine of Rs. 2000/- each, in default of payment they were ordered to undergo further six months rigorous imprisonment.All the three convicted accused preferred separate appeals against their convictions and they were heard together and are now being disposed of by this common judgment.The facts leading to the prosecution of the appellants and other accused persons have been noticed by the learned trial Court in para No. 1 of the impugned judgment and they are as under:A telephonic information was received at P.S. Hauz Khas from Const.Ramesh Chander, Duty Constable, Safdarjang Hospital on the night intervening 22/23rd April, 1983 regarding one Gurdhian Singh have been brought dead to the hospital by his son Tarlochan Singh.On the basis of this information, DD No. 26A was recorded which DD was handed over to SI Govind Ram who Along with Const.Lila Singh went to the hospital where Gurnam Singh met him and gave his statement.A case Under Section 302/34 IPC was registered on the basis of statement of Gurnam Singh.In his report, Gurnam Singh stated that he was a taxi driver at New Friends Taxi Stand, Ber Sarai, for one year.Disputes were going on between Gurdhian Singh and Piara Singh over the taxi stand and litigation was pending in the court regarding the same.On that day, there was a small quarrel , between Kashmira Singh who was brother of Piara Singh and Kewal Singh, with Gurdhian Singh at about 9.30 P.M. in which Kashmira Singh received simple injuries.After the quarrel, Kashmira Singh went to the house of his relation while Tarlochan Singh went to his house for dinner.Kewal Singh was having a lathi in his hand and he gave beatings to him and Iqbal Singh with the same upon which both of them ran from there and raised alarm.On hearing the noise, Gurdhian Singh tried to run away after leaving his cot.Meanwhile, Kewal Singh caught hold of Gurdhian Singh and Piara Singh took out the Kirpan with him and gave blows with the same on the chest and abdomen of Gurdhian Singh who fell down.It is further stated in the report that he and Iqbal Singh rushed to call Tarlochan Singh at the spot and thereafter they took Gurdhian Singh to Safdarjang Hospital in injured condition where doctors declared him dead.The complainant also stated that he had received injuries on his arm and leg on account of lathi blows given to him by Kewal Singh....It appears that during the investigation the investigating officer found that accused Piara Singh and Kewal Singh had after committing the murder gone to village Dasuya in Hoshiarpur District of Punjab and there they managed to get prepared false documents/record showing that Piara Singh had been arrested on 22/04/83 at about 8.30 p.m. in Dasuya village by co-accused Gursewak Singh, who during those days was the SHO of Dasuya police station, for an offence under Section 34 of the Punjab Police Act for creating nuisance in public after consuming liquor.They also managed to get prepared an MLC of Civil Hospital at Dasuya from co-accused Dr. Amrik Singh, who was working there, showing that he had medically examined Piara Singh at 9.30 p.m. and he was found under the influence of liquor and then a false kalandra was also got prepared from co-accused Resham Singh, who was posted as Head Constable at Dasuya police station, and it was filed in Court on 26/4/83 when Piara Singh, as per the pre-planned conspiracy between all the seven accused, appeared in Court and pleaded guilty and was convicted and sentenced to fine of Rs. 10/- vide judgment dated 26-04-1983(Ex.PW-23/M).After their arrest accused Piara Singh allegedly got recovered blood stained kirpan used by him in the incident of murder at Delhi from some place in Punjab and accused Kewal Singh also got recovered the lathi used by him in that incident.They were also awarded rigorous imprisonment for six months for their conviction under Section 323 IPC.Piara Singh and Resham Singh were further awarded two years rigorous imprisonment for their conviction under Section 120B r/w 218 IPC.Resham Singh was also awarded two years rigorous imprisonment under Section 218 IPC.On completion of the investigation the police charge-sheeted seven accused persons under Sections 302/34/201/218/193/212/120B IPC.The learned trial Court framed charges under Section 120B IPC and Section 218 IPC read with Section 120B IPC against all the seven accused.The two appellants Piara Singh and Kewal Singh were also separately charged under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC and Section 323 read with 34 IPC also.To prove its case prosecution examined as many as 32 witnesses.The accused persons in their statements recorded under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure denied the prosecution allegations in toto and pleaded false implication.Piara Singh claimed that he had been falsely involved in this case by the son of the deceased as there was a dispute over the taxi stand with his brother Kewal Singh.He took a plea of alibi and claimed that at the time of the alleged murder of Gurdhian Singh he was not in Delhi and was in Dasuya where he was arrested by the police for creating nuisance under the influence of liquor for which he had pleaded guilty before the Court.Appellant Kewal Singh claimed that since there was a dispute between him and the deceased about the taxi stand he and his brother Piara Singh had been falsely involved in this case by the son of the deceased.Appellant Resham Singh claimed that Piara Singh was actually arrested on 22-04-1983 by SHO Gursewak Singh(the deceased accused) who had also prepared the rukka for the medical examination of Piara Singh.Resham Singh further pleaded that he had prepared the kalandra on the instructions of Gursewak Singh and that kalandra was filed in Court where Piara Singh had pleaded guilty and judgment was passed against him.The plea taken by accused Amrik Singh, who was finally acquitted, was that the deceased was having some police officers in Delhi Police and it appeared that they had implicated so many persons falsely in this case.Four witnesses in defense were examined by accused Piara Singh, Resham Singh and Sarwan Singh.The trial court after examining the evidence adduced during the trial rejected the plea of alibi taken by accused Piara Singh and convicted all the appellants for different offences noted already.The star prosecution witness is PW-7 Iqbal Singh who not only was the eye witness of the assault on the deceased Gurdhian Singh by the appellants Piara Singh and Kewal Singh but he himself was also beaten in the incident.He has deposed that in the year 1983 he was working at New Friends Taxi Stand, Ber Sarai and knew accused Piara Singh and Kewal Singh.He further deposed that there was a quarrel between the deceased Gurdhian Singh and accused Piara Singh and Kewal Singh about the taxi stand.On 22-04-83 at about 9.30 p.m. when he along with Kewal Singh, Piara Singh, Kashmira Singh, Gurnam Singh, Gurdhian Singh and Tarlochan Singh was present at the taxi stand there was a quarrel between Kashmira Singh and Gurdhian Singh and in that quarrel Kashmira Singh received minor injuries.Thereafter Kashmira Singh left the spot and went to the house of accused Kewal Singh whom Kashmira Singh used to call as his Mausa.At about 11.30 p.m. accused Kewal Singh and Piara Singh came to the taxi stand in a vehicle bearing No. PJQ-9474 and at that time accused Kewal Singh gave lathi blow to him(PW-7) and Gurnam Singh(PW-2) on which they raised noise and Gurdhian Singh started running from there but accused Kewal Singh apprehended Gurdhian Singh and accused Piara Singh inflicted five or six blows of kirpan on the chest of Gurdhian Singh as a result of which Gurdhian Singh fell on the ground.The deceased was lifted and taken to Safdarjang Hospital where after some time the doctor declared him dead.PW-7 further deposed that the police met him in the hospital and since he had also received injuries on his left arm he was got medically examined and also that the police had recorded his statement in Safdarjang Hospital.The other eye witness of the incident is PW-2 Gurnam Singh.He has deposed that some litigation was pending regarding the said taxi stand between Gurdhian Singh, the deceased, and accused Kewal Singh and Piara Singh.On 22-4-83 at about 10.30 p.m. he along with Gurdhian Singh were present at the taxi stand when Kashmira Singh came there and enquired about Kewal Singh and Piara Singh from Gurdhian Singh.Kashmira Singh was told by Gurdhian Singht that he was not on good terms with Kewal Singh and Piara Singh and then they started exchanging abuses with each other and also had a scuffle by grappling with each other.Gurdhian Singh picked up a lathi lying there and hit Kashmira Singh with that lathi and when he(PW-2) intervened he was pushed back by Kashmira Singh due to which he received injury on his arm.PW-2 further deposed that Gurdhian Singh was having a kirpan which he took out from its case and then he(PW-2) went to call Gurdhian Singh's son from his house.At the house of Gurdhian Singh his son Tarlochan Singh(PW-9) and Iqbal Singh(PW-7) were present and both of them accompanied him to the taxi stand where Gurdhian Singh was found smeared with blood.At that stage the public prosecutor had sought permission from the Court to cross-examine PW-2 since he had resoled from the version of the incident which he had given to the police.The public prosecutor was permitted to cross-examine this witness and then this witness admitted that his statement had been recorded by the police regarding this case.However, he denied having claimed before the police that accused Kewal Singh and Piara Singh had injured Gurdhian Singh in the incident.PW-2 also denied having informed the police that he himself was also given a lathi blow on his arm and leg by Kewal Singh and Piara Singh.The learned trial Court found the evidence of the eye witness Iqbal Singh reliable despite the fact that he admittedly was closely related to the deceased and as such an interested witness.The learned trial Court also did not give any importance to the fact that admittedly there was enmity between the deceased and appellants Piara Singh and Kewal Singh and also the fact that one independent witness PW-16 Gurdhian Singh, who was examined to establish extra judicial confession made by Piara Singh to him on 23-04-83, had also not supported the prosecution.Learned Judge also found the evidence regarding recovery of Kirpan at the instance of Piara Singh and lathi at the instance of Kewal Singh to be reliable.At the same time he also observed that still no finding of guilt could be recorded until the plea of alibi of accused Piara Singh was considered and found to be false.While coming to the conclusion that the statement of PW Iqbal Singh and other evidence could not be said to be unreliable, no finding of guilt can be recorded until the plea of alibi of accused Piara Singh is considered and found to be false.On the contrary, if it is held that the prosecution has not been able to displace the defense of alibi set forth by accused Piara Singh, the accused shall be entitled to acquittal and with that the prosecution case against accused Kewal Singh and other accused persons may also fail....After observing so the learned trial Court went on to consider the plea of alibi taken by accused Piara Singh and came to the conclusion that this defense of Piara Singh was absolutely false and concocted.The learned prosecutor while arguing before us did not disagree with the view of the learned trial Judge that if the plea of alibi taken by the accused Piara Singh is accepted then the prosecution case not only against Piara Singh but against all the accused would fail.However, the learned prosecutor had submitted that the conclusion of the trial Court regarding the plea of alibi to be false and concocted was absolutely correct.It was contended that in view of the wholly reliable testimony of PW-7 Iqbal Singh, the eye witness of the incident, an evidence about recoveries of the weapons of offence at he instance of Piara Singh and Kewal Singh the plea of alibi taken by Piara Singh was rightly rejected by the trial Court.The submission of learned Counsel for the appellants, on the other hand, was that evidence of the eye witness Iqbal Singh and that of other witnesses regarding the recovery of kirpan and lathi was totally unreliable and as far as the plea of alibi of Piara Singh is concerned, from the prosecution evidence itself it stands established that this plea of Piara Singh was correct and that the learned trial Court has rejected the plea of alibi on totally unsustainable grounds.We have considered the evidence and also the rival submissions made at the Bar by the counsel for the parties.That fact is established from the post-mortem report also about which no dispute was raised before us.According to PW-7 Iqbal Singh on 22/4/83 at about 9.30 p.m. accused Piara Singh and Kewal Singh were present at their taxi stand at Ber Sarai, New Delhi and same day at about 11.30 p.m. Kewal Singh had first hit him and Gurnam Singh(PW-2) with a lathi and then Kewal Singh had caught hold of Gurdhian Singh and Piara Singh had assaulted Gurdhian Singh with a kirpan.We, however, do not find the evidence of PW-7 to be reliable at all.As far as the first informant is concerned he has not supported the prosecution.The contention of learned Counsel for the appellant was that the statement of Gurnam Singh, the author of the FIR of this case, containing the names of Piara Singh and Kewal Singh as the assailants and which statement has been treated as FIR by the police can be said to have been recorded later on and was ante-timed and since it was a false version of the incident Gurnam Singh finally did not stick to that version in Court when he gave his statement on oath.We find force in this argument.PW-7 has claimed that after the incident he had gone to the house of the deceased to call his son Tarlochan Singh(PW-9).Although PW-9 Tarlochan Singh in his testimony claimed that Iqbal Singh and Gurnam Singh(PW-2) had come to his house at about 11.35 p.m. and had informed him that his father had been stabbed with kirpans but he did not claim that Iqbal Singh and Gurnam Singh had told him that his father had been stabbed by Piara Singh and Kewal Singh.If actually PW-7 had witnessed the incident, as claimed by him, he would have told to the son of the deceased about the assailants also and the names of the assailants would also have been disclosed to the doctor who examined the deceased after the incident.However, a perusal of the MLC Ex. PW-14/A shows that even though Tarlochan Singh, the son of the deceased, had brought Gurdhian Singh to the hospital and had informed the doctor that there was an assault on his father but names of the assailants were not disclosed at that time.A perusal of the inquest report Ex. PW 23/F prepared on 23-04-83 also shows that the names of the assailants were not mentioned there also by the investigating officer.Similarly, in the brief facts Ex. PW-23/G prepared by the investigating officer on 23-04-83 the names of the assailants were not mentioned.The absence of the names of the assailants in these papers prepared by the investigating officer on 23-04-83 casts a serious doubt about the truthfulness of the account of the incident given by PW-7 Iqbal Singh.For this view we find support from a judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported as 2000(II) Apex Decisions (SC) 103, ""Rang Bahadur Singh v. State of U.P."" wherein it was held that in the inquest papers at least the names of the assailants who are known by that time are expected to be mentioned by the investigating officer and if that is not done it can be presumed that by that time the assailants were not known.The contention that inquest report need not contain the names of the assailants, as has been raised in the present case also on behalf of the State, was also taken before the Supreme Court in the said case but was rejected.The afore said infirmities in the evidence of PW-7 Iqbal Singh coupled with the fact that there was enmity between the two sides make his evidence highly doubtful and unreliable.Learned prosecutor had also contended that the prosecution was not relying upon merely on the statement of PW-7 but there is evidence adduced to show that after his arrest accused Piara Singh had got recovered blood stained kirpan which was used by him in the incident and when that weapon was examined by the autopsy surgeon Dr. Chandrakant he had given his opinion Ex. PW-32/C to the effect that the injuries noticed by him on the body of the deceased at the time of post-mortem examination were likely to be caused by the said kirpan.Learned prosecutor had also submitted that accused Kewal Singh had also got recovered one lathi Ex. PX-I which he had used in the incident for causing injury to the eye witnesses Gurnam Singh and Iqbal Singh.As far as the recovery of lathi is concerned PW-7 Iqbal Singh had stated in cross-examination that accused Kewal Singh had thrown the lathi at the spot itself when they raised the alarm.However, PW-22 Ct.Leela Singh has claimed that accused Kewal Singh had got recovered the lathi from some place near the Deer Park on Africa Road.Another witness of this recovery is PW-27 Paramjit Singh, who in his cross-examination admitted that he was related to the deceased, has deposed that Kewal Singh had got recovered the lathi drom a place near ITI Hostel near R.K.Puram.If the accused Kewal Singh had left the lathi at the spot itself after the incident the same could not have been recovered from any other place.In view of these contradictory statements of the three prosecution witnesses the recovery of the lathi at the instance of Kewal Singh becomes doubtful and in any case PW-7 Iqbal Singh was not even shown the recovered lathi during his evidence to find out from him if it was the same lathi which had been used by Kewal Singh as had been claimed by him in his examination-in-chief.So, the evidence of recovery of the lathi, even if it were to be accepted, is of no help to the prosecution.Similarly, the evidence of recovery of kirpan at the instance of appellant Piara Singh is also of doubtful nature.PW-22 Ct.Leela Singh is a witness to the disclosure statement of accused Piara Singh pursuant to which he had allegedly got recovered one kirpan.Thus, according to this prosecution witness himself Piara Singh did not make any statement voluntarily.The investigating officer, who has not been examined as a witness because he died, appears to have threatened Piara Singh and then obtained a confessional statement from him.PW-22, however, does not claim that Piara Singh had after making the disclosure statement got recovered a kirpan.The prosecution has examined one Mahender Singh(PW-11), a resident of Punjab in village Jaswa, to prove the recovery of kirpan at the instance of Piara Singh.Although this witness had deposed that on 07-05-83 when he was present at village Roopowar at about 5 p.m. and was coming on his truck from the side of Tanda and going towards Gar Di Wala the police stopped him.At that time accused Piara Singh was present with the police officials and he led the police party in a jungle from where he took out a kirpan which was then sealed by the police.The learned trial Court entertained doubt about the truthfulness of the evidence of this witness on the ground that he was not truthful about his actual relationship with the family of the deceased.In his chief-examination he had not disclosed that he knew the family of the deceased and it was only in cross-examination that he knew the deceased Gurdhian Singh.It cannot be a coincidence that a person known to the deceased only could be spotted by the police on road side to be associated as a witness for the recovery of the kirpan.It appears that the investigating officer chose to associate only those persons as witnesses who were either related to the deceased or otherwise were known to him.So we also are not inclined to rely upon the evidence of PW-11 Mahender Singh.The learned trial Court also observed that the recovery of kirpan was established from the evidence of the police official PW-21 SI Ran Singh.There is no doubt that this witness has deposed about the recovery of kirpan at the instance of Piara Singh.However, we feel that since the investigating officer intentionally had been associating interested witnesses only at different stages we cannot place any reliance on the evidence of his subordinate police official.We are, therefore, of the view that the prosecution evidence, as discussed above was not reliable and sufficient enough to convict the accused persons.Now we come to the plea of alibi taken by accused Piara Singh and the charge under Section 218 IPC framed against the accused persons.It is now well settled that plea of alibi is to be established by the accused who takes it.Learned prosecutor did not dispute this proposition.In the present case the plea of alibi had been taken not only during the cross-examination of the eye witness Iqbal Singh but also at the time of recording of statements under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and the accused had sought to establish the same from the evidence of prosecution witnesses from Dasuya police station to show that Piara Singh was not arrested by them on 22/4/83 as well from the documents placed on record by the prosecution.We shall now consider if the accused had been able to succeed in their plea or not and whether the learned trial Judge was right in rejecting their plea of alibi.The investigating agency in order to verify the fact about the arrest of Piara Singh at Dasuya village his medical examination at Civil Hospital on the night on 22/04/83 and his conviction on 26/04/83 by a Magistrate's Court at Dasuya had during the investigation collected certain documents which actually showed that Piara Singh was arrested at Dasuya on 22/4/83 around 8.30 p.m. and at about 9.30 p.m. on the same day he was medically examined also by the acquitted accused Dr. Amrik Singh at the civil hospital in Dasuya and those documents had been submitted Along with the challan filed in the present case.The prosecution has placed on record a copy of the judgment (Ex.PW-23/M) passed by the Court of Shri S.C.Marwah, JMIC, Dasuya in kalandara case No. 126/1 of 1983 whereby Piara Singh s/o Gulzara Singh, the appellant in criminal appeal No. 330/1999, was convicted under Section 34 of the Punjab Police Act on the allegations made in the kalandra(Ex.PW-23/H) that he was arrested for creating nuisance under the influence of liquor at a public place.It was contended by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor that the conviction of Piara Singh as recorded by the Magistrate at Dasuya should not be given any importance since it had been obtained by playing a fraud on the Court and the Court did not go into the correctness or otherwise of the allegations levelled against Piara Singh in the kalandra, which according to the prosecution case was a false document prepared by accused Head Constable Resham Singh of Punjab Police, and had convicted appellant Piara Singh simply on the basis of his pleading guilty which also he did as was the plan of all the accused persons.The prosecution claims that the averments made in the kalandra Ex.PW-23/H to the effect that Piara Singh was apprehended on 22-4-83 around 8.30 p.m. under Section 34 of the Punjab Police Act were false and this document was prepared by appellant Resham Singh only in order to help appellant Piara Singh in creating a plea of alibi to be used in the event of his getting implicated in the case of murder of Gurdhian Singh.That judgment does help the accused in his plea of alibi.Not only that, there are other reasons also for us to accept the plea of alibi taken by the accused that Piara Singh was first arrested around 8.30 p.m. on 22/4/83 at Dasuya and then he was medically examined also at about 9.30 p.m. at the Civil Hospital, Dasuya by Dr. Amrik Singh.As noticed already, that Dr. Amrik Singh who was charged for preparing a false MLC Ex. PW-28/A showing that he had medically examined Piara Singh on 22-04-83 at about 9.30 p.m. at Civil Hospital, Dasuya has been acquitted.The acquittal of that accused Dr. Amrik Singh shows that the prosecution has not been able to establish that Dr. Amrik Singh had prepared a false MLC(Ex. PW-28/A) and if that be so, it has to be held that the MLC Ex. PW-28/A was a genuine document.It was this very document which was sought to be shown as a forged document by the prosecution and it has failed to do that.PW-28 Dr. Ramgopal Singh, who was also working in the Civil Hospital, Dasuya has proved the aforesaid MLC, which is an attested copy of the original and this witness claims to have attested the copy of the MLC after comparing it with the original.He has also claimed that this MLC was signed by Dr. Basra.Since accused Resham Singh was claiming that Piara Singh had, in fact, been medically examined and this MLC was prepared at the time of his medical examination and the prosecution which was claiming the same to be a forged document, has failed to show that this was a forged MLC it has to be held that Piara Singh was actually medically examined by Dr. Amrik Singh at the Civil Hospital, Dasuya on 22-04-83 at 9.30 p.m. In these circumstances the statement of PW-7 Iqbal Singh to the effect that on 22-04-83 at 11.30 p.m. appellants Piara Singh and Kewal Singh were present at the taxi stand of Ber Sarai where according to him Gurdhian Singh was murdered becomes unacceptable.There is another reason also for us to accept the plea of alibi taken by the accused Piara Singh and the supporting pleas taken by his co-accused persons and to doubt the prosecution case regarding the involvement of Piara Singh and Kewal Singh in the incident of murder as was sought to be established through the testimony of PW-7 Iqbal Singh.In order to substantiate the allegation that on 22-4-83 Piara Singh was not arrested by the Punjab Police as had been claimed in the aforesaid kalandara by the appellant Resham Singh and he had also not been medically examined around 9.30 p.m. on 22-04-83 by the acquitted accused Dr. Amrik Singh at the Civil Hospital, Dasuya the prosecution had examined PW-31 HC Gurdev Chand, who on 22-04-83 was posted as a constable at Dasuya police station.He was examined to show that he had not got Piara Singh medically examined on 22-04-83 and that somebody had forged his signature on the MLC Ex.PW-28/A which showed that he had taken Piara Singh for medical examination.This witness, however, claimed that on 22-04-83 he was posted as a driver constable at Dasuya police station and on that day he had taken one person for medical examination and that MLC Ex.PW-23/Q bore his signature at point 'B'.This MLC, as noticed already, was according to the prosecution case a forged document but the learned trial Court has not accepted the same and has acquitted the accused who had allegedly prepared this false MLC.Since this witness did not support the prosecution he was cross-examined by the public prosecutor.In that cross-examination he denied the suggestion that the signature at point 'B' on Ex. PW-23/Q was not his.When he was cross-examined on behalf of the accused Resham Singh he categorically accepted the suggestion that the SHO had directed him to take Piara Singh to hospital for medical examination.This witness also admitted that on 22-04-83 at about 8/8.15 p.m. one person had come to the police station and had informed the SHO that some incident had taken place at the bus stand and then he(PW-31) along with the SHO went to the bus stand where they found accused Piara Singh creating nuisance.He further claimed that the SHO had tried to pacify Piara Singh but Piara Singh started abusing on which the SHO wrote an application and directed him to take Piara Singh to the hospital for medical examination which he did.This witness was not further cross-examined by the public prosecutor after he had made this statement in his cross-examination on behalf of the accused regarding Piara Singh having been found creating nuisance and his having taken Piara Singh to the hospital for medical examination.Therefore, the statement of this prosecution witness went unchallenged and stood admitted by the prosecution.Thus, the evidence of this prosecution witness himself who was examined to establish that he had not got Piara Singh medically examined on 22-04-83 on the contrary has substantiated the plea of alibi taken by appellant Piara Singh.The learned trial Court although referred to the statement of PW-31 HC Gurdev Chand while narrating the evidence of various prosecution witnesses but did not accept the same on the ground that he had not recorded any entry in the DD register while leaving the police station for getting medical examination of Piara Singh done nor even arrival entry was made by him on his return to the police station from the hospital.In our view this reasoning of the learned trial Judge is not sound enough to be sustained.As observed already, PW-31 was not cross-examined by the public prosecutor after he had stated in his cross-examination on behalf of the accused that he had taken Piara Singh to hospital for medical examination after he had been arrested by the SHO at a bus stand for creating nuisance.Even when earlier this witness was cross-examined by the public prosecutor it was not suggested to him that his statement that he had taken one person for medical examination on 22-04-83 was false statement.This witness had denied the suggestion that on the MLC Ex. PW-23/Q(another copy of this MLC was marked as Ex. PW-28/A also) the signature at point 'B' purporting to be his signature were not his.The prosecution has not made any attempt to show that on the MLC of Piara Singh prepared at Dasuya hospital PW-31 had not put his signature in token of his having received the same after medical examination of Piara Singh.When the concerned person claims that the MLC was having his signature at point 'B' there is no reason to reject his statement and to hold that somebody had forged his signature.Another reason given by the learned trial Judge for disbelieving the statement of PW-31 is that PW-30 constable Surender Nath has not claimed that he had accompanied Gurdev Chand for the medical examination of anybody on 22-04-83 as claimed by Gurdev Chand.There is no doubt that PW-31 had claimed that constable Surender Nath had also accompanied him when he had taken Piara Singh for medical examination and PW-30 constable Surender Nath does not claim so but in our view that also cannot be a ground to reject the testimony of PW-31 which has remained unchallenged on behalf of the prosecution.Another reason given by the learned trial Court for disbelieving the plea of arrest of Piara Singh at Dasuya on 22-04-83 is PW-30 Ct.Surender Nath, who was posted as a constable at Dasuya police station on 22-04-83, has deposed that on 22-04-83 he along with HC Resham Singh and another constable had left the police station for patrol and their duty was from 4 p.m. to 12 midnight.He further deposed that in his presence HC Resham Singh has not arrested any person that day between 4 p.m. to 12 midnight.Accused Resham Singh has not claimed that he had arrested Piara Singh.As noticed already, his stand was that SHO Gursewak Singh(the deceased accused) had arrested Piara Singh and he himself had simply prepared the kalandara as instructed by Gursewak Singh.Therefore, PW-30 claiming that Resham Singh had not arres",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

for chemicalanalysis.The report of the post-mortem examination was admitted by thedefence.The specific case of the prosecution is that Bhimabai ended her life byconsuming poison because of harassment caused to her by the appellants foror in connection with demand of dowry.It is, therefore, necessary tobriefly examine the evidence of the prosecution witnesses.PW. 1 Tukaram,father of the deceased, has given details of the prosecution version of theincident in his statement in Court.He has deposed that in the marriage hehad given Rs. 20,000 as dowry.Initially, Bhimabai was treated well forabout

dead and froth was coming outof her mouth which was smelling of Thimet (insecticide).He has also deposed that it was after about 1-1/2 years ofmarriage that Bhimabai first complained to him about the harassment beingcaused to her.There used to be some bickering in the marital life ofBhimabai and her husband on trifling matters.He has admitted that it wasappellant no. 1 who had sent a person on motorcycle who had giveninformation regarding Bhimabai being unwell and that both the appellantswere present at the time of her funeral.PW.2 Babaji is real brother offather-in-law of PW.1 Tukaram.He has deposed that on an earlier occasionhe had gone along with PW.1 and some others to the house of appellant no.1to persuade him not to harass Bhimabai and to treat her well.In his cross-examination he has admitted that when he had gone to village Palshi to talkwith the appellants regarding the ill-treatment being meted out toBhimabai, there was no talk regarding monetary giving and taking.He alsoadmitted that he had not gone to attend that funeral of Bhimabai.PW.5Sumanbai is the mother of the deceased Bhimabai.She has stated in herexamination-in-chief that Bhimabai was being ill-treated by the appellantsand the reason for ill-treatment was that they were demanding money to bebrought from her parental home.In her cross-examination, PW.5 Sumanbai has stated that after newsabout the condition of Bhimabai was given by a man from village Palshi, shealong with her husband and some other relations went there and noticed thatBhimabai was lying dead in the house and froth was coming out of her mouth.She has further stated that she did not make any enquiry as to how Bhimabaihad died.In her statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. which was recordedvery next day of the incident i.e. on 16.9.1991 she did not state thatcause of ill-treatment was ""a demand for money and a consequent beating"".When confronted with her aforesaid statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C., shereplied that she did not know why there was no mention in the saidstatement that the cause for ill-treatment was ""a demand for money and aconsequent beating"".She further stated that it will be correct to say thather daughter was receiving ill-treatment as a result of ""domestice cause"".The learned trial Judge then sought clarification from the witnessses byputting the following question.""Que:- What do you mean by ""domestic cause""?Ans.:- What I meant was that there was demand for money fordefraying expenses of manure etc. and that was the cause.""In the very next paragraph she stated as under :-""It is not true to suggest that in my statement before the police I never said that ill-treatment was as a result of demand for money from us and its fulfillment.I cannot assign any reason why police did not write about it in my statement.""3 Sandu, Police Patil of village Palshi has deposed that at about4.20 p.m. on 15.9.1991, Narayan who is uncle of appellant no.1, Appasaheb,informed him that the wife of Appasaheb had expired.He then went to thehouse of the appellant and saw Bhimabai lying with froth coming out of hermouth.Thereafter, he gave a report about the incident in writing at thepolice station.PW.5Sumanbai has deposed that Bhimabai was receiving ill-treatment as a resultof ""domestic cause"" and to a specific question put by the Court as to whatshe meant by ""domestic cause"" she gave a reply that there was a demand formoney for defraying expenses of manure etc. It is important to note that inher statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. which was recorded on the very nextday of the death of Bhimabai, this witness did not state that the cause forill-treatment was ""a demand for money and a consequent beating"".Theevidence on record does not indicate that the police had any reason tofavour the accused and deliberately omitted to mention about the allegeddemand of money while recording the statement of PW.5 Sumanbai underSection 161 Cr.P.C. The evidence shows that the accused come from veryhumble background and they could not have exerted any kind of influence,financial or otherwise, upon the police so as to manage a statementfavourable to them when in the course of investigation the statements ofwitnesses were being recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. Accepting thestatements of father and mother on their face value that utmost which canbe held is that the appellant no.1 had asked his wife Bhimabai to bringmoney for meeting domestic expenses and for purchasing manure.Asalready stated, the appellants were also charged under Sections 498-A and306 read with Section 34 IPC but were acquitted of the said charges by thelearned Sessions Judge, which order has attained finality for the reasonthat the State did not prefer appeal agains the same.The appeal before theHigh Court and also in this Court has been preferred by the appellantschallenging their coviction under section 304-B read with section 34 IPC.It has been held in State of Andhra Pradesh v. Thadi Narayan, AIR (1962) SC240 that Section 423(1)(b)(i) of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1898 (whichcorresponds to Section 386(b)(i) of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973) isclearly confined to cases of appeals preferred against orders of convictionand sentence, the powers conferred by this clause cannot be exercised forthe purpose of reversing an order of acquittal passed in favour of a partyin respect of an offence charged, in dealing with an appeal preferred byhim against the order of conviction in respect of another offence chargedand found proved.","['Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

(ORAL) CRL.REV.P. 605/2017 & Crl.M.A.31993/2018 (for early hearing)Petitioners impugn order dated 31.05.2017, whereby, charge has been framed against the petitioners under Section 498A/34 304B/34 IPC and an alternative charge under Sections 302/34 IPC has also been framed.Subject FIR was registered on the complaint of the father of the deceased, who contended that his daughter had got married on 25.02.2008 and she was initially living with her in-laws at their house in the village.It CRL.REV.P. 605/2017 Page 1 of 6 is alleged that immediately after marriage, petitioner No.2 started demanding dowry from her and even the petitioner No.1 - her father-in-law used to harass her.Within one year of marriage she was turned out of her matrimonial house and started residing with her parents.Subsequently, it is alleged that the parents made her understand and she went back to her matrimonial house.Further, it is alleged that the petitioners being uneducated and the deceased being a graduate was being harassed with regard to upbringing of the child.The deceased is alleged to have committed suicide on 19.06.2012 and chargesheet was filed alleging that the nature of injuries recorded in the MLC was not supportive of the theory of suicide and indicated towards the commission of offence of murder.On perusal of the record, the Trial Court framed charges against the petitioners under Sections 498A/304B read with Section 34 IPC.Alternatively, the Trial Court has framed a charge under Sections 302/34 IPC.Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegations with regard to demand for dowry and harassment are general and vague and CRL.REV.P. 605/2017 Page 2 of 6 there is no material to show that the petitioners were either residing with the deceased or were present at the time when she died.CRL.REV.P. 605/2017 Page 2 of 6Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Trial Court has framed an alternative charge under Section 302 IPC merely on presumption.8. Learned APP for the State as also learned counsel appearing for the complainant submits that there is sufficient material to show that the deceased was subjected to demand for dowry as well as harassment from time to time on account of dowry and further the demands for dowry were met by the parents of the deceased from time to time.Learned counsel appearing for the complainant submits that a cheque for Rs.1,44,000/- was given to the petitioner No.1 to meet his demand for dowry.It is disputed by the petitioners that the said amount was given towards dowry.Perusal of the impugned order shows that the Trial Court has framed an alternative charge under Section 302 IPC raising a negative presumption.The Trial Court has inter alia held as under:-""From the material on record, I am of the view that there is prima facie case for framing charge against accused Babu Lai Jha and Urmila Devi u/s. 498-A/34 and 304-B/34 IPC.As far as alternative charge u/s. 302 IPC is concerned, since the presence of these two accused at the spot is neither confirmed nor ruled out, it is better to frame charge in the alternative u/s. 302/34 IPC as well.Charges framed accordingly to which both the accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.""A charge cannot be framed solely on a presumption that their presence is neither confirmed nor ruled out.For framing a charge, grave suspicion is required to be shown by the prosecution of the involvement of the accused in the subject offence.Coming to the charge under Sections 498A and 304B/34 IPC, I am prima facie of the view that there is sufficient material to give rise to grave suspicion against the petitioners of having committed the subject offence.The complainant, i.e., the father of the deceased, her mother and her brother have categorically stated that from time to time demand for dowry was being raised by not only the husband but also the petitioners.They have also averred that the said demand was being met from time to time.The complainant has also alleged that few days before the death of the deceased, he had paid Rs.30,000/- for purchase of a TV.The death of the deceased has occurred within 7 years of marriage and is a death other than from natural circumstances and there are averments of the family of the deceased that soon before the death of the deceased, she was subjected to demands for dowry inter alia by the petitioners.In my prima facie view, the allegations give rise to grave suspicion of petitioners having committed an offence under Sections 498A/304B IPC and the facts, as alleged, satisfy the basic ingredients of the said Sections.In view of the above, I find no infirmity in the impugned order insofar as it framed charges under Section 498A/34 & 304B/34 IPC against the petitioners.CRL.REV.P. 605/2017 Page 5 of 6Accordingly, the petition is allowed to the limited extent that the impugned order, insofar as it frames alternative charges under Sections 302/34 IPC against the petitioners is concerned, is set aside and the impugned order, insofar as it frames charges under Sections 498A/34 IPC and 304B/34 IPC against the petitioners is concerned, is sustained.The Trial Court shall, accordingly, modify the charges in terms of this order.The petition is disposed of in the above terms.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The

+"By way of the present petition under Article 227 of the Constitution of India read with Section 482 of Criminal Procedure Code (hereinafter referred to as Cr.P.C.) the petitioners seek quashing of the criminal complaint case No. 49 of 2012 filed by respondent No.1 in the Court of learned Metropolitan Magistrate-06 (East), Karkardooma Court, Shahdara, Delhi alleging offences under Section 499 read with Section 500 of the Indian Penal Code (hereinafter referred to as IPC) alongwith quashing of the summons issued pursuant thereto.Succinctly stating the facts of the present case as emerging from the petition are that marriage between petitioner No.3 and respondent No.1 was solemnized on 26.11.2001 as per Hindu rites, customs and Crl.M.C. No. 447/2013 P age 1 of 14 ceremonies.At that time, she took along with her their minor daughter who was only five years old.Since then, there have been continuous inter se disputes between petitioner No.3 and respondent No.1 which are pending adjudication before various courts.During the course of the said proceedings, pleadings were filed by the petitioners which were taken to be defamatory by respondent No.1 and accordingly a criminal complaint was filed.On the basis of the said complaint case No. 49/2012, the petitioners received summons on 01.02.2013 from the court of learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi under Sections 500/34 IPC.It is against the said complaint case and the summons received by the petitioners that the petitioners have filed the present petition.Learned senior counsel for the petitioners contended that the complaint is not maintainable as the respondent No.1 has not specified the averments in the pleadings on the basis of which she is resting her claim for defamation.Pleadings filed by the petitioner in the civil proceedings as well as the statement made under Section 161 Cr.P.C. cannot be made the basis of the complaint for defamation.Respondent Crl.M.C. No. 447/2013 P age 2 of 14 No.1 has not identified any specific allegations/imputations made by the petitioners against her constituting an offence of defamation of respondent No.1 in public.It was further contended by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the inferences drawn by respondent No.1 on the basis of circumstances and statements made during litigation between the parties cannot be considered defamatory under Sections 499/500 IPC.The police officer, who investigated the complaint of respondent No.1 and witnesses examined under Section 161 Cr.P.C. by the police, cannot be made co-accused in a defamation complaint.The petitioners have always made highly defamatory false statements.The opinion given by the IO in the closure reports without any substantive proof on record are not the acts done in official capacity and may have an effect of tarnishing the image of respondent No.1 before the public.It was also contended by the learned counsel for respondent No.1 that despite the defamatory allegations made by the petitioners and other accused persons against respondent No.1, the trial court has ordered to file supplementary chargesheet against the petitioners after finding the truth in the protest petition of the respondent No.1 in FIR No. 273/2010 under sections 498A/406/34 IPC.I have given my thoughtful consideration to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties.","['Section 500 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

And a fine of Rs. 10,000/- in default payment of fine one years R.I. all the sentences shall run concurrently.On this allegation injured as well as complainant rushed to the police station and lodge the written report (Exhibit Ka 1) against Ramji Nai, Ram Chandar and two unknown miscreants.Chik FIR (Exhibit Ka 2) registered at 8:05 pm under Section 307 IPC.The case was entered by means of General Diary.On the request letter of the S.H.O. Nazirabad, Mohd. Haroon was examined by the Doctor G.V. Saxena (PW-4) who has medically examined Mohd. Haroon.On medical examination following injuries were found on PW 2 Mohd. Haroom:-Injury kept under observation.Advised x-ray, caused by hard and blunt object, Duration about fresh.Investigation of this case is conducted by Investigating Officer during investigation, the investigating officer recorded the statement of witness and also prepared site plan and collect the injury report and collect the relevant papers.Investigating officer was not examined by prosecution during trial.After conclusion of the investigation, charge sheet submitted against Ramji Nai, Ram Chandar and Mohd. Hasoon under Section 307 IPC.The charge framed against Ram Chandar, Prem Shankar on 12.9.1991 under Section 307/34 and against Ramji Nai under Section 307 IPC on 12.9.1991 charge read over and explained to the accused in hindi.They pleaded not guilty and claims to be tried.In order to substantiate the charge levelled against the appellant, prosecution examined four witnesses PW 1, Abdul Jabbar complainant of this case and cousin of the injured.PW 2 Mohd. Haroon injured, PW 3 Shiv Autar Pandey, Head Constable and PW-4 Dr. G.V. Saxena.After the conclusion of trial statement of appellants was recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in which he has stated that witnesses giving false statement due to enmity.No defence witness was examined by appellant.Learned trial court after hearing both the parties acquitted Prem Shanker and Ram Chandar against the charge levelled u/s 307/34 IPC.Only Ramji Nai is convicted under Section 324 IPC as aforesaid.Being aggrieved with the order of sessions court, sole appellant Ram Ji Nai preferred this appeal.No appeal preferred by the prosecution against the acquittal of accused Ram Chandar and Prem Shankar.This is a clear cut bullet injury and injured witness is most reliable witness and the testimony of the injured witness PW 2 cannot be doubted at strech of imagination.Statement of PW 2 regarding implication of appellant is clear and cogent.Prosecution has established its case beyond any shadow of doubt against the appellant as such appeal is liable to be dismissed.One of the argument of the learned counsel for the appellant is that no independent witness examined by the prosecution and only related & interested witnesses were examined by the prosecution so no reliance has been placed on the testimony of these two witnesses.In his statement, he fully narrated the version of the prosecution, injured witness (PW 2) corroborated the version of the FIR but he clearly denied the role of the co-accused Ram Chandra, on this point, he already declared hostile and on the basis of this statement, Ram Chandra was acquitted by the learned trial court but with regard to the evidence against Ram Ji Nai, concerned PW 2 clearly shows that Ram Ji Nai inflicted injury by firing gun shot by countrymade pistol.Although, the medical examination report does not fully corroborate the oral evidence of PW 1 and PW 2 but during examination of PW 4, he clearly stated that if the bullet hit on hand then such type of injury may also occur so it cannot be said that injury inflicted on the hand of the injured witness did not cause by the countrymade pistol.Their evidence has a ring of truth.Hence, learned trial court rightly convicted the appellant under Section 324 IPC resultantly, conviction of the appellant under Section 324 IPC is hereby affirmed.Coming to the sentence to be imposed on the appellant since incident occurred more than 33 years ago and presently, the appellant is aged about 60 years and during intervening period, he had not indulged into any criminal activity nor he had any criminal background and presently, appellant is well rooted in society.Submission of the learned counsel for the appellant for showing leniency in this matter regarding sentence, is liable to be acceptable.Failing to deposit the same, appellant shall surrender or he be taken in custody to serve out one year rigorous imprisonment as default sentence.So the appeal is 'dismissed' on the point of conviction and partly allowed on the point of sentence as above.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and back by means of a stick.P.W. 2, who had been present there, tried his level best to separate them.But, it proved futile and consequently, he was stated to have given a hit on the head of accused

have proclaimed that he would take the electricity connection to the temple, in his own name, utilising his own funds.At that time, accused 1 to 6 registered their protest and questioned whether it was proper for all the things to be done in the name of the deceased, in relation to the temple.So, saying, they vowed to wreak vengeance and then left the place.(e) The deceased, after reaching his

them to imprisonment for life.P.W. 4 had been engaged for providing sound and light, during the celebration of the festival in the said temple.(b) It so happened, an issue, as respects electricity connection for the said temple came to be raised and in that connection, that villagers at 8.00 p.m., on 13-4-1985, congregated in front of the temple.At 11.55 p.m. he examined accused 1 and treated him for the injuries.Considering the seriousness of the injuries sustained by the injured-deceased, he referred him for further treatement and management to the Government Head Quarters Hospital, Cuddalore.(j) P.W. 12 is the Sub Inspector of Police Bhuvanagiri.He has gone for investigation in connection with another case and returned to the police station at 2-10 a.m. (on 14-4-1985).He perused the FIR in crime No. 151/85 and on such perusal, he came to the conclusion that what P.W. 11 Head Cosntable had done in registering the case only under Section 160 of the Indian Penal Code was not correct and what he had done was that he registered the complaint of P.W. 1, namely, Exhibit P. 1, as Crime No. 152/85 for alleged offences under Sections 147, 148, 324 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code.Exhibit P. 15 is the printed FIR.He also registered the complaint given by accused 1, namely, Exhibit P. 14, as a case in Crime No. 153/85 for alleged offences under Section 147, 148, 323 and 324 of the Indian Penal Code.Immediately after arrest and on interrogation, one of the accused namely, accused 2 gave a confession under Section 27 of the Evidence Act stating that he kept concealed the crowbar underneath the culvert in the lake at Melamanakkudi.The admissible portion of the said confession statement in Exhibit.Pursuant to the said confession, he took P.Ws. 6, 7 and 13 to lake at at Melamanakkudi he took out the crowber M.O. 8 kept concealed underneath the culvert in that lake, which was seized under Exhibit P. 6 mahazar.Then all the accused were brought to the police station and from there, they were sent to court for remand.After completing the investigation in crime No. 153/85, he dropped further investigation.Chidambaram Taluk Inspector filed a final report under Section 173(4) Crl.P.C. against accused in crime No. 152/85 for the aforesaid offences.On committal, charges, as aforesaid, had been framed against accused and when they had been questioned as respects those charges, they denied the same and claimed to be tried.The prosecution, in proof of the charges so levelled against the accused, examined P.Ws. 1, to 13, filed Exhibits P. 1 to P. 20 and marked M.Os.The accused when questioned under Section 313 Crl.P.C., as respects the incriminating circumstances appearing in evidence against them, denied their complicity in the crime.They did not choose to examine any witness of their behalf.Learned Sessions Judge, on consideration of the materials placed, rendered the verdict as aforesaid.Arguments of Mr. K. V. Sridharan, learned Counsel for the appellants and Mr. S. Sriramulu, learned Public Prosecutor representing the prosecution were heard.Accused 8, it is said, died pending appeal : Consequently, the appeal as against him has to abate, pursuant to the salient provisions adumbrated under Section 394 Crl.Of them P.Ws. 1 and 2 narrate the entirely of the occurrence, which consists of two parts, namely, occurrence that had happened at or about 8.00 p.m. on the fateful night in front of Kaliamman temple and the other part of the occurrence that took place in the lane, situate adjacent to the house of the deceased, on the east; whereas the other witness, namely, P.W. 3 speaks to the latter part of the occurrence only.The picture, as painted by P.Ws. 1 to 3 regarding the occurrence is not at all in accord with the earliest information.Exhibit P. 1 proceeds on the footing that the entirety of the occurrence involving in causation of injuries to not only the deceased, but also to some of the prosecution witnesses, happened only in the lane situate adjacent to the house of the deceased on the east.The said occurrence happened at 9 p.m. No doubt true it is that the narration in Exhibit P. 1 leads us to think that igniting cause for the occurrence was relatable to dispute relatable to Kaliamman temple.In the said occurrence, the deceased was stated to have been attacked by accused 1 to 6 with stones, culminating in the deceased sustaining certain injuries on his upper lip and head.Likewise, P.W. 1 was attacked by accused, 1, 2 and 5, with stones, resulting in his sustaining an injury on his right hand.These things apart, Thilliammal was the victim of attack at the hands of accused 1, 2 and 5, in the sense of her tuft being caught hold of by them and she being beaten with their hands.This sort of an occurrence was witnessed by P.W. 8 from the beginning to the end.For projecting such a version, there was no time left either for P.W. 1 or others, interested in his welfare, to consult and confabulate for giving a version, different from the one that had happened, with a view to implicate the persons involved in the occurrence.Head Constable or other Police personnel working in Bhuvanagiri Police Station, so that there was any sort of want of cordial atmosphere between him and the police personnel.P.W. 1 had a bitter experience with them, so that there was no lovelost between him and the personnel in the police station.Of course true it is that under the foot of Exhibit P. 1, no certificate had been appended to by P.W. 11 that the same had been recorded, as per the narration of P.W. 1 and the same, after having been recorded, had been read over to him.Therefore, normal it is, we feel, that the prosecution entertained some sort of anxiety to some how or other throw mud on P.W. 11 Head Constable and that perhaps was the reason for the prosecution to have resorted to seek permission of the Court by treating him as hostile, on the ground that he had exhibited an element of hostility to the case of the prosecution.The Court below also readily granted such a permission and allowed the prosecution to put questions in cross-examination treating him as hostile.The grant of permission by the Court below to treat P.W. 11, as hostile, in the facts and circumstances of the case, we feel, is rather unwarranted and we only feel that the Court below, without applying its mind, simply granted permission to treat him as hostile, when the prosecution prayed for such a permission.P.W. 11, put in such a position, cannot be expected to say that he had not faithfully recorded the version as projected by P.W. 1, simply because he has not appended a certificate at the foot of Exhibit P. 1 to the effect that the same had been recorded as per the narration of P.W. 1, besides the same having been read over to him.May be the non-appendage of a certificate, due to the negligence on his part and for such negligence, the prosecution must have to pay its price.to 3, it examined in detail, would reveal the core improvement of the prosecution case beyond recognition, by giving different place of occurrence, introduction of lethal weapon utilised, in causing injuries to the deceased and what not.When the issue relatable to taking electricity connection the temple was being discussed in a heated fashion, there arose a wordy altercation between P.W. 1 and accused 1 and such an altercation rose to the height of mutual fight between them, which resulted in accused 1 beating on his right hand and back by means of a stick, thereby causing him injuries.P.W. 1 who was stated to have been present there, too up a stick, which was lying there and gave a hit with such a stick on the head of accused 1 causing him bleeding injuries.In order to avert any further untoward incident, the deceased intervened and pacified P.Ws. 1 and 2 and took them to his house.Thereafter, the deceased was sitting in the verandah of his house.He would mandate P.W. 2 to go to the backyard and bring the cattle tethered there to the lane.It is only at that juncture, accused 2 arming himself with M.O. 3 crowbar emerged therein through the garden of accused 4, situate adjacent to the lane, after removing the fence and hit with M.O. 3 on the right flank of the deceased.Immediately after the receipt of the hit, the deceased sat on the ground.In quick succession, he also gave two more hits with M.O. 3 on his head causing bleeding injuries.On receipt of those injuries, the deceased fell down over on the ground.Rest of the accused, namely accused 1 and 3 to 6 hurled stone on P.Ws. 1 and 2, besides the deceased.In the process of hurling of such stones, P.W. 1 would categorically state even in chief examination that why were not at all injured by any of the stones to hurled on their person.P.W. 3, a near relation of the deceased, not being a resident of the locality, had an occasion to pass through that lane from north to south so as to make himself available in the scene and have the fortuitous opportunity of witnessing the occurrence and in the process of hurling of stones, though he was also available in the vicinity, he also did not sustain any sort of a scathing injury on his person.The shifting of the place of occurrence to the lane, adjacent to the house of the deceased on the east is not without significance.If the prosecution projects that the occurrence had happened in front of the temple, then there was necessity to cite a witness of independent origin available in the vicinity to the temple, when especially the time and day of the occurrence was the day of celebration of Tamil New Year's festival in the temple and such being the situation, the prosecution would be impelled to come forward with an explanation for the non-examination of natural witness in the locality, who had the fortuitous opportunity of witnessing the occurrence.Another intriguing factor is that if we examine the evidence of the doctor, P.W. 8, we find that P.W. 2 had on his person as many as three injuries as revealed by Exhibit P. 9 copy of the accident register.He had not at all come forward with an explanation as to how he came by the injuries, especially when we took into account that in the process of hurling of stones by the accused, as already stated, neither he nor his brother P.W. 1 was injured.It is quite interesting to note from what he has stated to the doctor, P.W. 8, that he was assaulted with stick by known persons near the temple.It is here we have to take into account the defence version, as respects the place of occurrence.Accused 1 would assert in Exhibit P. 14 he gave to P.W. 11 that the occurrence took place near the temple and he was assaulted with a stick by specified individuals, that is to say, the prosecution party.Exhibit P. 10 is the copy of the accident register, which reveals that he had four injuries on his person on various portions of his person, namely, parietal region, dorsum of hand, middle lateral portion of left fore arm and lateral aspect of right shoulder.The injuries are either contusions or laceration.The prosecution would resort to explain the injury on the head of accused 1, by making P.W. 2 to say that he gave a hit on his head, when he was engaged in hitting P.W. 1 by means of a stick near the temple.The other injuries found on his person had not at all been explained.It is to be noted here that the candid admission made by P.W. 1 in his cross-examination is that before ever, he along with the deceased, his brother P.W. 2 and his mother Thillaiammal, went to the police station he saw accused 1 in the police station, giving a complaint Exhibit P. 14 It is the case of the prosecution that P.W. 1 alone gave Exhibit P. 1 at the earliest point of time before even accused 1 gave the complaint.In unguarded moments, somehow or other, the truth had come out in the form of a candid admission by P.W. 1, in the course of cross-examination.Why we point out all these aspects is that the prosecution had not come forward with the true origin and genesis of the occurrence and had made assiduous attempt in projecting a version before Court, divorced of reality of the situation, thereby making this Court not possible to sift truth from falsehood.We may also point out here the calculated attempt made by the prosecution to make it appear that a lethal weapon had been used in the commission of the heinous crime of murder of the deceased.From Exhibit P. 7, we are able to decipher that crowbar had been introduced by interlineation in the column relatable to the alleged use of weapons for causing injuries.Further, Exhibit P. 7 is not the original; but its triplicate.The accident register is usually prepared in triplicate; the original being sent to Court, the duplicate being retained by the investigating agency and the triplicate by the Medical Officer himself, who issued copy of the accident register.It is also usual to prepare copies of the accident register with carbon copies underneath the original and the triplicate by writing on the original by means of a ball-point or pencil.Unusual it is to find the triplicate copy of the accident register, namely, Exhibit P. 7 being written in ink with all sorts of interlineations, not only with regard to the weapons alleged to have been used in the commission of the crime; but also in nothing down the injuries.The marking of the triplicate, with all such corrections and interlineations make us feel that all is not well with the prosecution in projecting the true version as respects the manner of occurrence and the usage of weapon in the commission of the crime.The manner of occurrence, we feel, is highly artificial.Where was the occasion for the deceased to go and take the custody of the cattle from P.W. 2 for tethering the same to the peg or hook in the lane, except for the purpose of his receiving a hit on his right flank and two hits on his head at the hands of accused 2 by means of a crowbar ? Is it not possible for P.W. 2 to have tethered the cattle brought from the backyard by himself to the peg or hook there ?Admittedly, the occurrence took place during dark hours of the night.Therefore, visible factor looms large and assures importances.For the so-called eye witnesses, to introduce the course of events that had followed at the time of occurrence.But for the switching on of the bulb hanging over the window facing the lane on the east, there could have been no visible factor at all for anyone to have witnessed anything.Switching on the bulb was necessitated by a mandate being issued by the deceased to P.W. 2 to fetch the cattle from the backyard to the lane and in such process, P.W. 2 was stated to have switched on the bulb so as to enable them to have visible factor to witness the course of events that was to follow.But for the switching on the bulb situate above the window facing the lane on the east of the house of the deceased, there could have been no visible factor at all for anybody to have witnessed anything.Therefore, we are of the view that the case of the prosecution is also riddled with artificialities and inherent improbabilities, in projecting the manner of the occurrence.The investigation in this case, we also feel, is rather tainted, slipshod and perfunctory.We are unable to digest, when P.W. 12 Sub-Inspector of Police would state that when he returned to the police station at 2.10 a.m. after having been engaged in investigation in another case, he happened to see the records in the case in Crime No. 151/85 and immediately he felt that the action of P.W. 11 was not proper and therefore, he registered two cases in Crime Nos. 152 and 153 of 1985, based upon Exhibits P. 1 and P. 14 for offence under Sections 147, 148, 323 and 324 I.P.C. in both the cases.We are quite astonished to hear him say that he immediately left the police station and reached the scene village at 6.00 a.m. and after inspecting the scene, he would prepare an observation mahazar, Exhibit P. 2, besides preparation of the sketch, Exhibit P. 17, as if he was engaged in the heinous crime of murder.This is the first time, we are able to come across a case registered under Section 147, 148, 323 and 324 I.P.C. getting prime attention at the hands of the public personnel like P.W. 12, in the sense of rushing to the scene of occurrence and collecting material and other available clues in proof of the case of the prosecution.The hand of fabrication is also getting exposed by the inbuilt materials available on record.There is one more instance, which we can also point out for exposing the hand concoction of the investigating agency.P.W. 13, Inspector of Police would categorically state, in his evidence in chief-examination, that he conducted the inquest on the body of the deceased between 12 noon and 6.30 p.m. If he had conducted the inquest during the relevant period, as revealed by the inquest report Exhibit P. 20, we are absolutely at a loss to understand as to how the Dr. P.W. 9 could have received the requisition, Exhibit P. 11 at 4.00 p.m. and commenced autopsy at 4.30 p.m. From this, we are able to infer that the records have been manipulated in such a way to suit to the exigency of the case of the prosecution and in the process of preparation of such records, the hand of concoction got automatically exposed by the mistakes they had committed unawares.Further, the injuries found on the person of accused I had not been properly explained.Even the little bit of effort had by the prosecution in explaining the injury on his head through the medium of P.W. 2 faced colossal failure, as we had pointed out earlier.From this, the irresistible conclusion that the prosecution made assiduous attempts in suppressing the genesis and origin of the occurrence cannot be ruled out of the consideration, in the facts and circumstances of the case.For all the reasons, as above, we are of opinion that the prosecution thoroughly failed in bringing home the guilt of all the accused to any offence whatever, the consequence of which is that there is no other go except to acquit all the accused by giving them the benefit of reasonable doubt.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section

+"This appeal is directed against a judgment and order of conviction dated 30th March 2005 and sentence dated 31st March 2005 passed by the Learned Additional Sessions Judge, 1st Fast Track Court, Jangipur, Murshidabad in Sessions Trial No. 05/2004: Sessions SL No. 103/2004, thereby convicting and sentencing the appellant no. 1 to suffer rigorous imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs. 5000/-, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for one month for committing an offence under Section 376 of the Penal Code, convicting and sentencing the appellant nos. 1 to 4 each to suffer rigorous imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs. 5000/-, in default to suffer simple imprisonment for one month for committing the offence under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code and further convicting and sentencing the appellant nos. 2 to 4 each to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine of Rs. 1000/-, in default to suffer imprisonment for one month for committing the offence under Section 201 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code, all sentences having to run concurrently.She alleged that due to severe threats given by the accused, the informant could not come before the Learned Court although 3 the police had taken no action over the alleged offences.Pursuant to the direction passed under Section 156 (3) of the Code, Farakka Police Station Case No. 20/2004 dated 29th February 2004 was started against the present appellants for commission of offences under Sections 201, 302, 376 of the Penal Code.The allegations made by the de facto complainant in the said First Information Report were as under:-The accused 1, 2, 3 and 4 lived right next door to the complainant.The daughter of the complainant was aged about 14 years.At 6 p.m. on the day of occurrence the accused no. 1 told the daughter of complainant that his mother had sent for her for some urgent reason.Accordingly, she told her mother that her next door neighbour Minati Halder had sent for her and asked whether she should go.As the complainant consented, she went to Minati's place.The complainant waited for quite a while, but as Kalpana did not return she went to Minati's house.There she found her daughter lying in the room, all but dead and almost naked with her pants and clothes lying around blood-stained.As soon as the complainant entered the room, the accused no. 1 ran away.The complainant asked her daughter about who had done this to her.The victim girl said that Ujjal Halder (of that household) called her there on a false pretext and taking advantage of the vacant house, forcibly raped her.When she said she would tell this to all, he tried to throttle her.Then as the complainant raised a cry, the villagers and the people of the household came there and heard this.The accused no. 3 throttled the victim girl lest she would talk.Then as the people of the complainant's household and the villagers came to see the aftermath, the accused no. 2, 3 and 4 ordered 4 everyone out and shut the door, saying that they would take her to the hospital themselves.After a while, the appellants proceeded with the victim girl in a van towards Beniagram P.H.C. Hospital.She died on the way.After a while, as the aforesaid witnesses went to the hospital the doctor said that the victim girl had died and the accused had taken her to the cremation ground for burning.As the aforesaid witnesses went to Beniagram cremation ground, they found accused no. 2, 4 and some other unknown people burning the victim girl in the cremation ground.As the witnesses created an uproar, the accused threatened that they would settle the issue in the village and if people informed the police, they would kill them.The above incident was intimated to the Farakka Police Station in writing through another person.But the police then took no action.3. Investigation commenced.The Investigating Officer prepared a sketch map and examined witnesses.As the dead body of the victim was forcibly cremated several months ago, no post-mortem examination of the deadbody could be held.She deposed about a 'salishi' or 'bichar' that took place after 2/4 days.In fact the 'bichar' took place twice.He too was a post-occurrence witness.The victim told him as well as PW 1 that the appellant no. 1 had raped her and had tried to throttle her.6 The appellant no. 2 also tried to throttle her.The accused then drove them out.The appellant thereafter took away the dead body and burnt it without any post-mortem examination.After that the appellant nos. 2, 3 and 4 threatened him.They further stated that they would do some 'bichar' in the village only.In his cross-examination PW 3 stated that there was a panchayat member in the village and a chowkidar.But, he was not doing his duty properly.He deposed that in the burning ghat at that time there were about 8/10 persons.The 'dom' or the' 'ijaradar' was actually not present there.PW 4 was a co-villager and a post-occurrence witness to the incident.He saw the victim lying naked.PW 1 told him about the incident.After that the appellants 2, 3 and 4 threatened her that they would assault her and they ousted PW 4 from their house.The local doctor Dr. Sajal Pandit stated that the victim was brought dead to him.On their way back, PW 4 could see the burning ghat.They all asked the appellants 2, 3 and 4 as to why they were burning the dead body of the victim without conducting post-mortem examination.But the said appellants did not allow them to stay near the burning ghat and they stated that they would do 'bichar' of the matter in the villager itself.PW 5 was the father of the victim.At the time of the incident he had been to the river for catching fish.After coming back home at about 3 O'clock in the night, he found his daughter absent and learnt that she was taken to the burning ghat.Then he went and saw the appellants 2, 3 and 4 and some others burning the dead body of his daughter.She saw the victim lying naked on floor of the appellant's house with clothes stained with blood.The victim's mother narrated the incidence to her.She also saw the appellant no. 2 throttle the victim and thereafter the appellant no. 2 threatened her and drove her out of their house.PW 6 deposed that at that time the victim was still alive, but the appellants brought a van and took her away.In her cross, she stated that she told the police that she had seen the victim in almost senseless condition.Hearing hue and cry raised by the victim's mother, she went to the appellant's house and saw that the victim was lying on the floor of the house.The victim's mother narrated the incident to her.The appellant no. 1 tried to throttle the victim, but thereafter fled away.Then the appellant no. 2 throttled the victim and forcibly ousted them from the house.After that the appellants went to a burning ghat and cremated the victim.After completion of investigation, PW 14, the Investigating Officer submitted a charge-sheet dated 21st May 2004 under Sections 201, 302, 376 of the Penal Code.On 12th August 2004 charges were framed against the appellant no. 1 under Section 376 of the Penal Code and against all the four appellants under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code as also under Section 201 read with Section 34 of the Penal Code.During trial the prosecution examined 14 witnesses to establish its case.The case of the defence was mainly a denial of the prosecution case.She alleged that the accused had offered money to her, but she refused to accept the same.In her cross, she categorically said that when she went to see her daughter, the appellant no. 4 pulled her down from the van in which the appellants carried her daughter allegedly for treatment.PW 2 was a co-villager and a post-occurrence witness.She deposed that the victim told her that the appellant no. 1 had ravished her.After the appellant no. 1 tried to throttle the victim, the appellant no. 2 too came and throttled the victim.Seeing all these, PW 1 the mother of the victim became ill.The appellants 2, 3 and 4 drove them out of their house.In her cross-examination PW 2 vouched that she had stated to the police that she saw the appellant no. 2 throttling the victim girl and that the appellant no. 1 was also going to throttle the victim.She admitted that PW 1 was her 'ja'.She also stated that the accused were one group and the witnesses were the other group.PW 3 was a co-villager and an uncle of the victim.He deposed that the appellants then took the victim away in the name taking her to a hospital.The local doctor, Dr. Pandit said that the victim was brought dead.PW 7 was a neighbour of the victim.In her cross, PW 7 deposed that she stated to the police that she had seen the victim in the appellant's house in unconscious state.She also stated to the police that the appellant no. 2 had throttled the victim and the appellant no. 1 had tried to throttle her.She admitted that there were divisions in the village, the accused belonged to one division and the others belonged to another division.PW 8 was a doctor who examined the appellant no. 1 and found him sexually capable.PW 9 was a neighbour of the victim.He heard about the incident from others in the village.PW 10 was another neighbour who admitted his signature on Ext.3 which was a mass petition given to the police in respect of cremation of the victim's dead body without the parents' permission.PW 11 was a learned Advocate who prepared the de 8 facto complainant's petition under Section 156 (3) of the Code.PW 12 was the victim's brother and a pre-occurrence witness to the incident.The appellant no. 1 had called the victim to his house.Thereafter PW 12 went to the market and came back after the incident and found his mother crying.In the cross-examination he stated that the police had arrested the accused after 3/ 4 days of the incident.PW 13 was a co-villager who had turned hostile.PW 14 was the Investigating Officer of the case.He examined available witnesses and submitted a charge-sheet against the appellants under Sections 376, 301, 201, 34 of the Penal Code.In his cross- examination, he admitted that the burning ghat was not a registered one.In his answer to question no. 8 under Section 313 of the Code, the appellant no. 1 stated that he did not know whether the victim's father killed her, but the said father was the one who had burnt her.Likewise in his answer to question no. 9, the appellant no. 1 reiterated that the victim's father had burnt her.The Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants submitted that there was an inordinate delay, in filing the complaint, of more than five months and the same was not properly explained.He submitted that even the purported initial intimation to the police about the incident was neither proved nor explained.According to him, mere saying that an intimation was sent to police is not enough.As per the Learned Advocate the only evidence present in the case is alleged verbal dying declaration, which is itself a very weak piece of evidence.The Learned Advocate submitted that the appellant no. 1 did not murder the victim nor was there any medical evidence on rape 9 or murder.He wondered as to why the doctor to whom the victim was taken was not examined.Moreover, if the intention were to murder, then the appellants would not have taken the victim to a doctor, but would have directly proceeded for the burning ghat.He further submitted that there was no document of any 'salish' or 'bichar'.Even the so-called mass petition was not exhibited.The Learned Advocate submitted that PW 2 was contradicted by the Investigating Officer over the issue whether she saw the appellant no. 2 throttle the victim or the appellant no. 1 for that matter throttle the victim.According to the Learned Advocate, PW 2's deposition that it was discussed about who would be accused and that there were two divisions in the village exposed the malice of the informant's side in falsely implicating the appellants.He also referred to a cross-examination of PW 3 which mentioned that the local people burnt the body.The Investigating Officer also deposed that PW 4 did not state that he had seen the appellant no. 2 throttling the victim.The Learned Advocate relied on a few decisions on the question of delay in lodging First Information Report and the need to explain the said delay.The decisions are - AIR 73 SC 501: Thulia Kali vs. The State of Tamil Nadu; (1994) 5 SCC 188: Mehraj Singh (L/Nk.) vs. State of U.P.; AIR 2007 SC 155: Ramdas & Ors.vs. State of Maharashtra; (2014) 9 SCC 365: Ramaiah @ Rama vs. State of Karnataka.On the question of reliance on a dying declaration made only to the victim's mother, he relied on (2001) SCC (Cri) 1148, Arvind Singh vs. State of Bihar.The Learned Advocate appearing on behalf of the State strongly supported the conviction and sentence.He submitted that the incidents 10 commenced from the victim going to the appellant's house upon the appellant no. 1's call and ended at the burning ghat.All these long the victim was under the control of the appellants.As the appellants had full knowledge of the incident, they should have explained as to how the victim got killed and illegally cremated.There were several witnesses like PWs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 to the verbal dying declaration.According to PWs 1 and 2, the appellants took away the dead body.PWs 2, 3 and 4 saw the appellant no. 1 throttle the victim.PWs 1, 6 and 7 were the ones before whom the victim said that the appellant no. 1 tried to throttle and kill her.PWs 2, 3, 6 and 7 raised the question before the appellants as to why they did not send the dead body of the victim for post-mortem before cremation.PWs 1, 4 and 12 said that the incident was reported to police and police came and assured them that the police would inquire further and take appropriate steps.PWs 3, 4 and 5 saw burning of the dead body.PWs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 7 saw the appellant no. 2 throttle the victim.He submitted that threats were given by the appellants not to report to the police.The Learned Advocate further submitted that a 'bichar' was held.As police did not do anything, the de facto complainant filed a complaint under Section 156 (3) of the Code.Delay has thus been well explained.In any event, the circumstances as referred above provide a good explanation for the delay in lodging the complaint.From the evidence of PW 1, the mother of the victim and PW 12, the victim's brother it is clear that the appellant no. 1 had asked the minor victim to come to their house on the pretext that his mother had asked for her.After taking permission from her mother, the victim girl went to the appellant's house.There, by taking advantage of absence of others, the appellant no. 1 raped the victim.According to the statements given by the victim to other witnesses like PWs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 after committing such crime, the appellant no. 1 throttled her as she stated that she would tell others about the incident.PW 6 saw the appellant no. 1 throttle the victim.When the victim girl did not return home for sometime, her mother PW 1 went to the house of the appellants and found the victim girl lying practically naked on the floor of the room.Seeing PW 1, the appellant no. 1 fled away from inside the room.The victim then told PW 1 about the incident.Thereafter the appellant no. 2 also came and tried to throttle the victim.By this time upon hearing the hue and cry raised by PW 1, other neighbours like PWs 3, 4 and 6 had come to the appellant's house.They too saw the victim girl in such dishabille condition.PWs 2, 3 and 4 saw the appellant no. 2 throttle the victim.Thereafter the appellants, in an ostensible use of their relatively elevated status and position of influence, ousted all the visitors from their house.Then the appellants took the victim girl in a vehicle purportedly to see a doctor.In fact, the appellant 13 no. 4 pushed away PW 1 when she tried to get into the car.There is no witness about what happened inside the vehicle.But, the local doctor Dr. Sajal Pandit to whom the appellants took the victim stated to other witnesses that he had found the victim brought dead.Thereafter without intimating the police and waiting for a post-mortem examination over the dead body and without any kind of permission from the victim's parents, the appellants took the dead body to an unofficial burning ghat and illegally cremated the dead body.PWs 3, 4 and 5 were the witnesses to such cremation.The non-examination of the doctor to whom the victim was taken was a gross error committed by the Investigating Officer.But, that does not take away the copious amount of evidence adduced by others about the sequence of events.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 156

In such backdrop, the Court has to evaluate the circumstances to determine whether the death of victim Muktabai was homicidal or accidental in nature.The learned trial Court discarded both the possibilities and arrived at the conclusion that the death of victim Muktabai would be an suicidal death.The above referred observations of learned trial Court for conclusion of suicidal death appears to be rest on figment of imagination, surmises and conjuncture.The deceased Muktabai at the threshold narrated the history of accidental burn for MLC No. 3395/SSG dated 28-11-2002 (Exhibit-30).It has an reference in the letter (Exhibit-31) dated 28-11-2002 addressed to Special Executive Magistrate by Police Personnel PW-7 Mr. Shirsath.Moreover, in dying declaration (Exhibit-32) recorded by Special Executive Magistrate Mr. Haq, the deceased Muktabai divulged about the accidental burns due to sudden blaze of stove.The learned trial Court refused to keep reliance on the dying declaration of victim Muktabai (Exhibit-32) recorded by Special Executive Magistrate Mr. Haq.According to learned trial Court, it was not proved and deceased::: Uploaded on -

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate and the learned counsel for the second respondent.The second respondent has also filed as styled as counter affidavit.On a reading of the same, it gives the wholesome concession to all the accused, who she had earlier alleged to have either raped her or supported the acts of rape as the case may be.http://www.judis.nic.in 4A reading of the entire statement of the witnesses including the prosecutrix, one fact that stands out is that nowhere there is an allegation that the petitioner had either harboured criminal or participated in any of the acts constituting rape at any point of time nor he suppressed any information deliberately to the Investigating Agency.Possibly if the Investigating Agency has treated him as a witness he might have been parted with any information.Herein the Court now wants to rely on the counter affidavit filed by the second respondent.This Court does not want tohttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 N.SESHASAYEE, J., ta stretch it for the offence of 376, for which the first accused now faces trial.Necessarily, charges for this offence should also now go.In conclusion, this Court holds that the charges framed against the present petitioner for the offences under Section 201 and 506(i) IPC r/w 34 IPC is quashed and this criminal original petition is allowed.Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.22.03.2019 Index: Yes/No Internet: Yes/No ta Note: Issue Order copy on 05.04.20191.The Inspector of Police, All Women Police Station, 4th Circle, Fort Police Station, Trichirappalli.2.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.CRL.O.P.[MD]No.21512 of 2018http://www.judis.nic.in","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Joshi.the technical officer of bank note press who submitted report on examination of the counterfeit currency notes and officers of the CBI including the investigating officer.Appellant, during trial and also during his examination under Section 313 of the Cr. PC took a specific plea that out of inter-union rivalry, Shankar Mukherjee hatched a conspiracy against the appellant and in connivance with CBI officers, a concocted case was prepared against the appellant.The learned Sessions Judge of City Sessions Court, after considering the evidence produced by CBI during trial particularly with reference to the search and seizure taken place at ""Gyan Sweets"", came to the conclusion that appellant, was found in possession of several counterfeit currency notes and with reference to the report of the expert and statement of the expert as P,W,8, the learned Judge came to the conclusion that all the currency notes found in possession of the appellant were counterfeit notes.The learned Judge mainly banking upon the statement of Shankar Mukherjee P.W. 10 followed by search and seizure of the appellant came to further conclusion that appellant had the intention to exchange the counterfeit currency notes and the learned Sessions Judge, therefore, accepted the prosecution case and held the appellant guilty for the offence both under Section 489B/511 and under Section 489C of the IPC.Mr. Roy contends that P.W. Shankar Mukherjee lodged the complaint regarding possession of counterfeit currency notes by the appellant and also regarding the intention of the appellant to put those currency notes in circulation and thereby to make material gain in the form of collection of genuine currency notes.Mr. Roy submits that following the complaint of P.W. Shankar Mukherjee.CBI officials with the help of independent witnesses like Pradip Kr.Roy, Pranab Saha, Pradip Thakwani recovered the currency notes from the possession of the appellant and on examination of those currency notes by P.W. S.K. Joshi, a Government expert it was ascertained that those currency notes were counterfeit notes.In this appeal we have the privilege to consider the written note placed before us both by Mr. Safiullah appearing for the appellant as well as by Mr. Roy representing the CBI authority and we have considered both the written notes along with oral submissions put forward by the learned advocate of both the sides.It will not be out of record to mention that Mr. Safiullah was very much candid and clear that his only point to challenge the order of conviction and sentence centers around the question of legality and propriety of the investigation started by the CBI on the basis of a complaint from a citizen within the territory of this State.Thus, having regard to the submissions of both the sides along with their written note, we are of the view that there is no merit in this appeal.The appeal is, therefore, dismissed.The order of conviction and sentenced passed against the appellant are hereby confirmed.The prayer for certificate to prefer appeal before the Hon'ble Supreme Court is considered and rejected.Pranab Kumar Deb, J.I agree.",['Section 511 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ompal Singh.After completion of investigation, accused-appellant Zahid Khan was charge-sheeted for offence under Section 304 IPC.Trial court framed charge under Section 302 IPC against accused-appellant Zahid Khan, who pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.In order to bring home the guilt of accused-appellant Zahid Khan, prosecution has examined nine witnesses.After prosecution evidence, accused-appellant was examined under Section 313 of Cr.P.C., wherein, he has denied prosecution evidence and claimed false implication.However, no evidence was adduced in defence.After hearing and analyzing the evidence on record, trial Court convicted accused-appellant Zahid Khan under Section 304 Part-I of IPC and sentenced as stated in opening part of this judgment.Being aggrieved of his conviction and sentence, accused-appellant Zahid Khan has preferred the present appeal.Heard Sri Moeez Uddin, learned Amicus Curiae for the appellant and Sri Attreya Dutt, learned A.G.A. for the State.Learned Amicus Curiae has argued:I. that both the eye-witness PW-3 Bhoora Khan and PW-5 Zafar Miyan are inimical witnesses and their presence at the spot is highly doubtful and that there are contradictions in their testimony.It was stated that statements of these witnesses are not reliable.that prosecution has failed to prove any motive on the part of accused-appellant to cause death of deceased Khalid.The prosecution version that a few days prior to the incident, rickshaw of deceased has got struck with rickshaw of accused-appellant, is not established.It was stated that accused-appellant has taken a specific plea that as he used not to run any rickshaw.that alleged statements of deceased, recorded by PW-1 Salim Khan, which has been treated as dying declaration, is not reliable and there is no evidence that deceased was in a fit state of mind to make such an statement.As per prosecution version, deceased has sustained serious injuries at his abdomen area and thus, it does not appear reliable that he was in such mental state to make any such statement.Per contra, it has been submitted by the learned State Counsel that first information report of this case was lodged by deceased himself within half an hour of the incident naming the accused-appellant Zahid Khan.Both the eye-witnesses PW-3 Bhoora Khan and PW-5 Zafar Miyan have made clear and consistent statement.No material contradiction or inconsistency could emerge in their cross-examination.Their version is amply supported by medical evidence.There are no reasons to disbelieve the alleged dying declarations.Learned State counsel submitted that there is overwhelming evidence against accused-appellant, which has been duly appreciated by trial Court and that conviction of accused-appellant is based on evidence.I have considered the rival submissions and perused the record.In evidence PW-1 Salim Khan has stated that on 17.09.1981 Khalid has got written tahreer Ex.

PW-4 constable Omkar Singh and PW-7 constable Devendu Singh have assisted during investigation.21. PW-6 Dr. S.K. Gupta has medically examined the deceased Khalid Khan, while deceased was in injured condition.PW-8 Rashid is brother of deceased and he has stated that after incident, deceased was admitted in hospital and on 21.09.1981 he was to be taken to Delhi institute but as soon as he was taken out from the hospital, he succumbed to injuries and thus, deceased was again taken back to the same hospital.PW-9 S.I. Ompal Singh has conducted investigation.He has stated that on 17.09.1981 after registration of case he has recorded statement of Khalid at the police station.PW 9 Ompal Singh has spoken the contents of exhibit Ka-6 as under:""rkbZn o rLnhd jiV nkf[ky djrs gq;s C;ku fn;k] fd eaS fjd'kk pykrk gwWA rhu pkj fnu igys esjk fjd'kk tkfgn dh fjd'kk ls Vdjk x;k Fkk tks fd tsy jksM ij jgrk gS rks tkfgn us eq>ls dgk Fkk fd rq>s ns[kwXkkA vkt djhc] 7 cts tkfgn us eq>s ,d yM+ds ls cqyok;k tcfd eS viuh fjd'kk ysdj tsy jksM dks tk jgk Fkk ml yM+dk dk uke irk eS ugh tkurk gwW vkSj tkfgn [kk xyh esa Nqidj [kM+k gks x;kA tc eS viuh fjd'kk ysdj eksgYyk ?ksj ehjckt [kk dh Vadh ds ikl igqWpk rks tkfgn [kk us esjs Åij Nqjh ls okj dj fn;kA Nqjh esjs isV o nkfgus ckg esa vaxwBs o vaxqyh ds ikl yxhA esjs 'kksj ij eksgYYkk Hkwjk [kka o tkQj vk x;k ckn dks vkSj Hkh cgqr ls vkneh vk; x;s FksA ftUgsa ns[kdj tkfgn Nqjh fy;s gq;s Hkkx x;kA eSusa ogh ij lyhe [kka cki dk uke utkdr vyh [kka ls bl ckr dh] [kqn cksydj ,d rsgjhj fy[kokbZ tks eSus cksyk mlus ogh fy[kk eq>s i<+dj lqukdj esjk fu'kkuh vaxwBk yxok;kA rsgjhj ysdj Fkkus vk;k vkSj nhokuth dks rsgjhj nsdj jiV fy[kkbZA nhokuth us jiV fy[kdj udy eq>s nh gSA vkSj pksVsa ns[kdj fy[kh gS vc eS vLirky tk jgk gwWA**""PW 9 further stated that during course of investigation, statements of other witnesses were recorded.On 21.09.1981 after receipt of information regarding death of Khalid, case was converted from Section 324 to Section 304 IPC.Perusal of record shows that conviction of accused-appellant Zahid Khan is based on dying declaration of deceased Khalid as well as testimony of eye-witness PW-3 Bhoora Khan.So far the dying declarations of deceased Khalid are concerned, the case of prosecution is that in alleged incident deceased Khalid has sustained knife injuries at his abdomen area.For reporting the matter to police, he dictated a tahreer exhibit ka-1 to PW 1 Salim Khan and submitted the same to police and case was registered on the basis of that tahreer.On fourth day deceased succumbed to injuries and thus, after death of deceased, the said document (exhibit ka-1) amounts to dying declaration made by deceased before PW 1 Salim Khan.Secondly after registration of case at the police station, statement (exhibit ka-6) of deceased was recorded under section 161 CrPC by PW 9 SI Ompal Singh at the police station itself and thereafter he was sent to hospital.As stated earlier, on 21.09.1981 deceased succumbed to injuries, thus according to prosecution said statement exhibit ka-6 made by deceased to PW-9 SI Ompal Singh would also fall within the ambit of 'dying declaration'.Here it may be stated that both PW-1 Salim Khan and PW-9 SI Ompal Singh have made clear and consistent statements regarding alleged statements exhibit ka- 1 and exhibit ka-6 respectively.PW-1 Salim has made a consistent and cogent statement that on 17.09.1981 Khalid has got written tahreer exhibit Ka-1 from him and whatever was dictated by Khalid, the same was taken down in the tahreer exhibit ka-1 and that it was read over to him and after that Khalid had affixed his thumb impression on the same.PW-1 Salim has also spoken about contents of exhibit ka-1 in his statement.The investigating officer (PW 9) was not contemplating to record the dying declaration of the victim inasmuch as the victim was seriously injured and immediately needed medical aid.Before sending him to the hospital for proper treatment, PW-9 thought it fit to get the version about the occurrence recorded from the victim himself that had taken place and that is how Exhibit Ka-6 came to be recorded.No such evidence was brought on record to support the said allegation.Date: 06.08.2020 A.

+"To substantiate the charge, the prosecution examined P.Ws 1 to 3 as eye-witnesses to the occurrence, out of whom, P.Ws 2 and 3 turned hostile.P.W.2 is the husband of P.W.I while P.w.3 is a local village leader.Her evidence would show that she, along with her husband, was inside the house on the day of occurrence, at that time, both the deceased were sleeping inside the house in the verandah while P.Ws 1 and 2 were sleeping inside the house on the southern portion.During the occurrence time, she heard the murmuring noise of her father and mother and when she and her husband woke up, they saw the accused attacking D-l first on his head, neck, shoulder and other parts and the body.On seeing D-l being attacked, D-2 stepped in and she was also not spared by the accused, who cut her indiscriminately.The witnesses shouted and on hearing their shout, P.W.3 also came there.The accused ran away with the weapon of offence in his hand.Thereafter, P.W.1, along with others, went to the Police Station, where she gave an oral complaint before P.W.10, the Sub-Inspector of Police, who reduced the same into writing.The said complaint is Ex.P.W.10 is the Sub-Inspector of Police, who speaks about P.W.1 appearing before him at 4 a.m. on 6.10.94 and giving a complaint, which he registered as Ex.Pl in his Police Station Crime No. 132/94 for an offence under Section 302, IPC.Ex-P13 is the printed First Information Report prepared by him and he sent the material records to the Court as well as to the higher officials.P.W.12 is the police constable, who carried the material records to the Court as well as to the higher officials.The material records were handed over by him in Court at 5.15 a.m. on the same day.P.W.15 is the Investigating Officer, who, on receipt of information over wireless at 4.30 a.m. on 6.10.94 from P.W.10, directed him to bring the material records to the scheme of occurrence, where he reached by 6 a.m. On collecting the material records, he commenced the investigation.In the presence of P.W.4 and another, he prepared Ex.P2, the Observation Mahazar and Ex.P20, the rough sketch.Between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. he conducted inquest over the dead body of D-l in the presence of panchayatars and witnesses.During inquest, he examined P.Ws 1 to 3 and recorded their statements.Then, he sent the dead body of D-l for.From 10 a.m. till 12.30 p.m. on the same day, he conducted inquest over the dead body of D-2 in the presence of the same panchayatars and prepared Ex.-P22, the Inquest Report in regard thereto.During the said inquest, he read out the statements recorded from the aforesaid witnesses.Through police constable P.W.14, he sent the dead body of D-2 for postmortem.He gave one requisition for each postmortem.After postmortem, P.W.13 removed M.O.9 - lungi from the dead body of D-l and handed over the same under Form 95 - Ex.P19 to the Investigating Officer.P.W.8 is the doctor, who did postmortem on the body of D-1 on receipt of Ex-P9 requisition.He commenced postmortem at l0.am.on 7.10.94 and found various symptoms as noted in Ex.P10, the postmortem report.Form the place where the dead body of D-l was lying, he recovered a bloodstained mat, a bloodstained towel, a bloodstained brick and a sample brick at 12.30 p.m. in the presence of P.W.4 under a valid mahazar.At 12.45 p.m., from the place where the dead body of D-2 was lying, he recovered a bloodstained mat and three bloodstained bricks in the presence of the same witnesses under a mahazar.He arrested the accused at 4 a.m. on 9.10.94 in the presence of P.W.6 and another.For the former offence, he stands sentenced to undergo 2 years RI and for the latter offence, on each count, he was sentenced to undergo 14 years Rl.The sentence imposed on each count of murder was directed to run consecutively.Finding that the sentence of 14 years RI imposed for the offence of murder, on each count is illegal, we caused notice to be issued to the appellant as to why, if the Court ultimately agrees with the finding rendered by the learned Sessions Judge on that offence, the sentence imposed on him by the Sessions Court should not be enhanced to fit in with the sentence prescribed by law.Notice was served on the accused in prison and he sent a written response stating that the offence complained of could not be under Section 302, IPC but only under Section 304(III) ,IPC (probably, an error for 304(II), IPC) and therefore, he must be taken out of the rigour of Section 302, IPC.A set of material papers was handed over to the learned counsel in Court itself and the learned counsel submitted that if the appeal is taken up for hearing today, he would be in a position to argue the appeal.Accordingly, the appeal is heard by hearing the arguments of the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.The case of the prosecution is that annoyed over the illicit intimacy of his wife with one Shanmuganathan, the accused, on 6.10.1994, at 01.00 hrs, trespassed into the house of the said Shanmuganathan and committed his murder and in the course of the same transaction, when Leelavathi, wife of Shanmuganathan attempted to intervene, she was also stabbed to death.The Doctor is of the opinion that the deceased would appear to have died about 32-36 hours prior to autopsy due to injury to vital organs (spinal cord) and due to shock and haemorrhage due to injuries sustained.P.W.9 is the doctor, who did postmortem on the body of D-2 on receipt of Ex-P11 requisition.She commenced postmortem at 12.15 p.m. on 7.10.94 and found various symptoms as noted by her in Ex-P12, the postmortem certificate.P.W.I5 continued the investigation further by examining witnesses and recording their statements.Pursuant to Ex-P8, M.Os 7 and 8 came to be recovered under Ex-P7 attested by witnesses.P.W.5 is the photographer, who took photographs of the scene of occurrence on the direction of the Police Officer.M.O.5 series and M.O.6 series are the photographs and the negatives.P.W.15 sent the case properties to the Court with a requisition to subject the same for chemical examination.Exs-Pl6 and P17 are the Chemical Examiner's Report and Serologist's Report respectively.After completing the investigation, P.W.15 filed the final report in Court against the accused on 13.10.94 for offences under Section 302, IPC (2 counts) and Section 449, IPC.Neither documentary nor oral evidence was brought before Court at his instance.Mr. N. Duraisamy, learned counsel appearing for the appellant, relying upon the history of the case attached to Ex.The learned counsel, by taking us through the oral evidence of P.W.I, requested us to disbelieve it.We heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above points.All the charges namely, charge No. l for the offence under Section 449, IPC, charge No. 2 for the offence under Section 302, IPC had been read over to the accused and he pleaded guilty to all the charges.It is not as though the accused went back on his plea of guilt referred to above and we find, in fact, that the had admitted his involvement in the crime when he was questioned under Section 313, Cr.P.C. Question No. 2 put to him at the time of his questioning under Section 313 of the Code is based on the oral evidence of P.W.1 as an eye-witness to the occurrence and the accused had admitted her evidence before Court as true.In his answer to question No. 4 relating to the oral evidence of P.W.3, the accused had admitted that the house of D-l is next to his and that after cutting, he ran away.Question No. 19 put to the accused is the oral evidence of P.W.6 regarding the arrest of the accused; recording his confession statement and recovery of M.O.s 7 and 8 under Ex-P7 and the accused had affirmed it as true.Therefore, there are enough materials on record to show that the accused had not disputed his involvement in the crime.Her oral evidence is crisp and clear about the involvement of the accused tin perpetrating the crime on her parents resulting in their death.No material worth mentioning is available in her evidence, which would discredit her evidence in chief examination regarding the occurrence proper.The cause of death of both the deceased is shown to be due to homicidal violence and the medical evidence in regard to the same is that of P.W.8, who did postmortem on the body of D-l and P.W.9, who did postmortem on the body of D-2 coupled with Exs-P10 and P12, the respective postmortem certificates.Therefore, the above referred to materials, leave no room at all to doubt the case of the prosecution holding the accused responsible for causing the death of Shanmuganathan and Leelavathi in this case.It may be true that the history of the case attached to Ex-P9 would show that the accused was annoyed over his wife having an illicit intimacy with D-l.But, we find from the other materials on record that the accused had not taken any stand based on such illicit intimacy of his wife with D-l.Therefore, looking from any angle, the conviction of the accused/appellant for committing the murder of D-2 cannot be set aside.As already referred to above, except the history of the case attached to Ex-P9, there is no other material to show that D-l was having an illicit affair with the wife of the accused, which constituted the source for his sustained provocation due to which he had acted in the manner as brought to the notice of the Court.Let us now apply our mind to the sentence imposed by the learned Sessions Judge for the offence of murder on 2 counts.But, we find that the learned Sessions Judge, while finding the accused guilty of the offence under Section 302, IPC on both the counts, was inclined to sentence him to 14 years, RI on each count and also gave a further direction that the said sentences would run consecutively.We also though very carefully as to whether we would be committing any illegality in taking up the appeal ourselves after having issued notice for enhancement of punishment.The appeal is disposed of accordingly.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"P. K. Chatterjee, for the appellant.H. J. Umrigar and B. H. Dhebar, for the respondent.The Judgment of the Court was delivered by IMAM, J.-This appeal is by special leave.The appellant was convicted under s. 304, Part I of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to, imprisonment for life.He appealed to the Bombay High Court.According to the judgment of the High Court the appeal was admitted only on the point of sentence.The High Court reduced the sentence from imprisonment for life to 10 years' rigorous imprisonment.It was submitted on behalf of the appellant that the High Court could not, in law, admit an appeal only on the point of sentence and the appellant was entitled to have his appeal heard on the merits of his conviction as well.The evidence upon which the appellant was convicted was unsatisfactory and he was entitled to be acquitted.Shortly stated, the case of the prosecution was that the appellant had caused the death of Zina Hira on April 6, 1957, when the deceased was returning from an adjoining village to the village of his residence.The appellant met him on the way and accused him of having committed theft in the appellant's house which the deceased denied.Upon this the appellant attacked him with a stick which had iron rings round it.A number of blows were given by the appellant with this stick in consequence of which Zina Hira fell down.In our opinion, the form of the order admitting the appeal in the present case was invalid and the appellant could have insisted that since the appeal had not been summarily dismissed, the High Court should have heard his appeal on the merits as well.As the appeal was not heard on the merits, we considered whether the appeal should be sent back to the High Court for rehearing on the merits.We have, however, thought it fit to hear the appeal on the merits for ourselves.We, accordingly, heard the learned Advocate for the appellant on the evidence.It is clear to us from a perusal of the evidence that the case has been amply proved against the appellant.There was an eye-witness who saw the appellant assaulting the deceased with a stick.Bogha Jiwa also corroborated Keshav in this respect.None of these witnesses have any real motive to depose against the appellant.In addition to this evidence there was the dying declaration of the deceased as to who his assailant was.The other circumstantial evidence need not be referred to.It was urged on behalf of the appellant that the reason for the appellant assaulting the deceased could not be true as no reference was made to it in the First Information lodged by Keshav.Reference also was made to the evidence of the Police Officer Priyakant that no information of the theft had been lodged by the appellant at the thana.The appellant in his statement denied that the deceased had committed any theft in his house and the witness Karsan brother of the appellant had stated in cross examination that there had been no theft in their house.This witness was examined by the prosecution but was declared hostile and permission was granted by the Court to cross-examine him.It seems to us, however, that even if the story about the accusation of theft against the deceased made by the appellant was not stated in the First Information the omission is of little consequence because even 137 Keshav stated in the First Information that he ha( enquired from Bava Tapu as to how the quarrel ha( started.Merely because there was no information lodged about the theft at the police station, it doe not necessarily follow that the appellant could no have been suspecting the deceased.The denial of the appellant and of his brother cannot assume much.importance as it would be natural for them to den, any such thing.Apart from this even if the read cause for the assault may be obscure, if the evidenc is clear that the appellant assaulted the deceased, matters very little if the Court has not before it a verclear motive for the assault.As we have already said apart from Bava Tapu hesitating to admit that he was somewhat related to the deceased, there was no apparent motive for him to depose against the appellant in such a serious case as this.His conduct would show that he had, in fact, witnessed the assault because, immediately after the assault he went to the Police Patel Keshav and informed him that the appellant had assaulted the deceased with a stick.There is no reason to doubt the genuineness of the dying declaration.There is no good reason for supposing that the deceased would have accused the appellant falsely a there was no previous enemity established.It is also unlikely that he would let go his real assailant and accuse the appellant falsely.The dying declaration in corroborated by the evidence of the eye- witness Bava Tapu.It further receives corroboration from the recovery of the stick stained with human blood at the instance of the appellant which had been identified by Bava Tapu as belonging to the appellant.It is clear, therefore, that the evidence in the case which we have carefully examined and see no good reason to distrust, established beyond doubt that the appellant had struck the deceased several blows with a stick and thus caused his death.He was, therefore, guilty at least under s. 304 of the Indian Penal Code as found by the trial court.The reduced sentence imposed by the High -Court does not appear to be unduly severe' The

+"In default of payment of fine he has to further undergo additional six months rigorous imprisonment.(2) In the instant appeal, the case of the prosecution may be summarized as under :-That on 30.1.1995 at 5.15 P.M. a first information report was lodged at Police Station Rajapur District Banda regarding an incident which is said to have taken place on 30.1.1995 at about 4 P.M.(3) The prosecution case, in brief, is that about 20 days before the incident the accused-appellant Mahendra Singh forcibly wanted to cut the Neem tree situated in the field of the informant's grand father.However, Mahaveer (deceased) and did not permit him to cut the tree.On that day the accused-appellant left the place.However, on 30.1.1995 he again came at the tube-well of the first informant at about 4 P.M. armed with his licensed double barrel gun.The informant's grand father looking to his agitated mood permitted him to cut the tree, but it was strongly opposed by his father Mahaveer (deceased).Upon it, the accused started hurling abuses and fired on the deceased which hit on his near the neck due to which he fell down.Then the accused-appellant again fired which hit on the left side of chest.The informant and other family members who are present there had witnessed to the incident.Immediately after the incident he went to his village and scribed the first information report in his own handwriting.(12) Budhraj P.W.2 is also an eye-witness of the incident.He is the nephew of deceased-Mahaveer and has stated that on 30.1.1995 at about 4 P.M. he along with grand father Shiv Balak and other family members were present near the tube well when the appellant made two fires on the deceased, who died on the spot.The defence has also given him a suggestion that the deceased was murdered at an unknown place by some unknown miscreants and no such incident as alleged by prosecution had taken place at the time and place as alleged which was specifically denied by the said witness.(13) P.W.3 Sub-Inspector Prasuram Verma is the Investigating Officer of this case.The first information was registered in his presence.Hon'ble Rajul Bhargava,J.( Delivered by Justice Rajul Bhargava ) (1) The present appeal has been preferred by the appellant against the judgment and order dated 22.5.2006 passed by Special Judge, (S.C./S.T. Act) District Banda in Special Sessions Trial No.90 of 2005 (State of U.P. Vs.Mahendra Singh), under Sections 302/504 IPC and 3(2)5 of S.C./S.T. Act, Police Station Rajapur, District Banda, whereby the appellant was convicted and sentenced for life imprisonment with a fine of Rs.20,000/-.Then the first informant Bachcha scribed first information report in the village and got it registered as Case Crime No.12 of 1995, under Sections 302/504 IPC and 3(2) 5 of S.C./S.T. Act, police station Rajapur District Banda.(4) After the registration of first information report, the investigation was taken over by P.W.3 Sub-Inspector Prasuram Verma posted as Station Officer at police station Rajapur, District Banda.After thorough investigation he submitted charge sheet against the sole accused-appellant Mahendra Singh under Section 302/504 IPC and 3(2)5 of S.C./S.T. Act. After committal of the case to the Court of Session the same was tried by Special Judge (S.C./S.T. Act) Banda, who vide impugned judgment and order found the appellant guilty of the charges and sentenced him as noted above.(5) In order to prove the charges against the appellant, the prosecution examined six witnesses in all.Out of which P.W.1 Bachcha is the first informant as an eye-witness, P.W.2 Budhraj eye-witness of the incident and remaining four witnesses are formal witnesses.P.W.6 Swatantra Kumar Clerk, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banda proved the statement of witness Shiv Balak recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. by Judicial Magistrate Sri Ram Narayan Maurya.(6) Thereafter the statement of the appellant was recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in which he has categorically denied the facts stated by the prosecution witnesses about the recovery of his D.B.B.L. Gun.He has stated that he had no knowledge about it and the recovery shown by the prosecution is false.He has stated that he has been implicated on account of enmity.It may be noted that on being questioned as to whether he wants to be lead any defence evidence he stated in the affirmative.However, the fact remains that the appellant did not examine any witness in defence.(7) Learned Special Judge after hearing the arguments of both the sides and after appreciating and discussing the evidence on record held the appellant guilty of murdering the deceased and convicted and sentenced him accordingly by the aforesaid judgment and order which is impugned in this appeal.We have heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned AGA for the State and carefully perused the record.(8) Briefly summarized the arguments as advanced by learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant has assailed the reliability and truthfulness of the prosecution case mainly on the following grounds:-(iii) The presence of witnesses at the spot is highly doubtful.(iv) The deceased was done to death at some other place and the first informant in collusion with the Investigating Officer has changed the place of incident.(v) There are material contradiction between the statements of eye-witnesses P.W.1 and P.W.2, therefore, no reliance can be placed on their testimony.(vi) Lastly it is contended that the Trial Judge has erroneously believed and has placed reliance on eye-witnesses account and the incident was not fairly investigated.(9) On behalf of the State-respondent learned AGA submitted that the first information report in the present case has been lodged promptly.The presence of eye-witnesses is very natural and probable as the incident had taken place at the tube well of the deceased and the same finds corroboration from the recovery of the blood, the pellets found embedded on the wall of the room near the tube well where the deceased was shot twice by the appellant and also the recovery of two empty cartridges, pellets and tickly recovered from the spot.The findings recorded in the impugned judgment are well substantiated from the record.After scribing the first information report he went to police station Rajapur and got the first information report registered.He has also proved that in his presence the Investigating Officer had recovered two empty cartridges lying at the place of incident.P.W.1 in his statement has given graphic description of the manner in which the incident had taken place and has also proved the motive for the appellant to commit the murder of his father.It was also suggested that on account of village party faction between the Pandits and Thakurs, the appellant has been falsely implicated.He has proved the handwriting of Constable Chandra Prakash, who had prepared the chick report exhibit Ka-2 and also the General Diary of the case of 30.1.1995 vide G.D. No.24 at 5.15 P.M. He has stated that he recorded the statement of first informant at the police station and proceeded at the place of incident along with him.Thereafter he inspected the spot and conducted inquest proceedings on 30.1.1995 at 7.15 P.M. and concluded the same at 8.15 P.M. and despatched the dead body for post-mortem along with relevant papers.He also recovered two empty cartridges, two tickli and pellets from the spot also took in possession the blood stained and plain earth from the Chabutra where the dead body of the deceased was found lying.On the same day he recorded the statement of eye-witness Shiv Balak, Smt. Maini and other witnesses.In his cross-examination he has categorically stated that after the registration of first information report he left the police station at about 6 P.M. on 30.1.1995 and reached at the spot within 15 minutes.(14) P.W.4 Dr. Bharat Bhushan Kathoriya conducted autopsy on the dead body of the deceased on 31.1.1995 at 3.30 P.M. and he has noted the following ante-mortem injuries on the dead body of Mahaveer, which are as under:-i) A gun shot wound of entry on left side of chest in lower part anteriorly 7 cm.below left nipple in mammary line 2.5x2.5 cm.Circular, margins of wound inverted blackening around the margins of wound present.This wound is through and through with injury no.2 piercing stomach, diaphragm left lung and anterior chest wall on right side.ii) A gun shot wound of exit on right side of chest, 4.0 cm.X4.0 cm.circular, margins of wound back everted, 2 cm.below right clerical 8 cm.iii) Multiple 12 small wounds of exit 0.5 cm.to 1.5 cm.over right shoulder anteriorly.iv) 5 pellets withdrawn from back and axillary region on the right side.In his opinion, the cause of death due to shock as a result of ante-mortem injuries noted above.In the post-mortem, Doctor noted that the stomach and small intestine contains partiall y digested food and gases.(15) So far as P.W.5 CP Hariom is a witness of recovery of gun from the appellant along with cartridges and has also admitted his signature on the recovery memo.(16) P.W.6 is the clerk of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Banda.He has simply proved the handwriting of Sri Ram Narayan Maurya, Judicial Officer, who had recorded the statement of the grand father of the informant namely Shiv Balak recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., we find that the evidence of P.W.6 is of no relevance as the statement of a witness recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and who has not been examined during trial does not have any evidentiary value as the same is not a substantive piece of evidence.(17) Now, we will examine the submissions of learned defence counsel assailing the prosecution version.One of the main argument of defence counsel is that the first information report though stated to have been lodged promptly but in fact it is ante timed which would make the entire prosecution case suspicious and the implication of the appellant doubtful.It has been submitted that according to prosecution the alleged incident is said to have taken place on 30.1.1995 at about 4 P.M. and the alleged registration of the first information report on the same day at 5.15 P.M. by the informant after covering a distance of 10 kilometres is unbelievable as the lodging of the first information report is too prompt and the only inference which can be drawn is that it was registered much later.Thus, the prosecution in order to show the promptitude in lodging the first information report after manipulation has shown its registration at 5.15 P.M. In this behalf, learned counsel has drawn the attention of the Court to the statement of the first informant P.W.1, who in his cross-examination has stated that after the incident he remained present at the spot for about 15 minutes and during this period he did not even touch his father.Thereafter, he went to his village and scribed the first information report in which he took about 15 minutes and then it took twenty minutes to reach the police station by bus.Based on this fact, learned counsel for the appellant has argued that it was not possible for the first informant to have scribed the first information report within such a short time and lodge the same within one hour 15 minutes of the incident after covering the distance of 10 kilometres as noted in the chick report.(18) First of all, we deal with the first limb of the submission of learned counsel for the appellant regarding the time taken in lodging of the first information report, we may observe that it is not expected of rustic villager before whose eyes brutal murder of his father has taken place in broad day light would narrate or describe the time consumed by him in scribing the first information report or the time taken by him to reach the police station with precision.The statement of such a witness is his own estimation of time in which they may be some variation.(19) The Hon'ble Apex Court in reference to rustic witness has made a very illuminating observation in the case of Dimple Gupta Vs.According to it villagers are prone to misjudge time and distance and they are not skilled in narrating chain of evidence with precision.It may be noted that the statement of P.W.1 was recorded almost after 4 and half years from the date of incident and on account of which certain discrepancy with regard to timing, distance, manner and mode of assault was bound to occur which unless are too major and go to the root of the prosecution not much importance can be attached to such insignificant and minor discrepancies.We find that the Trial Court had dealt with the aforesaid arguments of the defence about the timing of registration of the first information report within one hour and 15 minutes of the incident in extenso on page 61 and 62 of the paper book.It is recorded that the timing given by his informant are based on his estimation and the same cannot be considered independently but the entire statement of the first informant has to be taken into account.(20) Learned defence counsel also argued that according to statement of P.W.1, the Investigating Officer arrived at the spot at 7 P.M. and after staying there for about one hour took the dead body along with him to the police station where it was kept for the whole night and next day the dead body was sent from the police station Karvi for post-mortem.From this statement the defence has tried to draw an inference that since the first information report was not in existence and the accused was not known therefore, the dead body was taken to the police station and the first information report was thereafter made ante timed.We do not find any merit in the submissions made by learned defence counsel inasmuch as after the registration of the first information report it was read over to him by the concerned clerk and he was given a copy of the same.P.W.1 has denied the suggestion of the defence that the first information report was scribed by him on the dictation of Daroghaji at the police station in the night.We also find from the evidence of P.W.3, the Investigating officer on being cross-examined and suggested by the defence that he had taken the dead body to the police station and the same was kept throughout the night has been specifically denied by him.He has stated that before despatching the dead body for the post-mortem he had already inspected the place of incident recovered the pellets found embedded on the wall of the room near the tube well.The defence has not been able to elicit anything very material from the said witnesses about the alleged ante timing of the first information report.(21) However, we may record that in the inquest report the crime number, sections and other requisite particulars on other spot papers namely site plan, recovery memos etc. have been mentioned which only indicate that the first information report had already been registered.There is no interpolation, cutting or manipulation in the inquest report exhibit Ka-6 to suggest that the first information report was not in existence when the inquest report was prepared.(22) One of the other main argument of defence counsel is that the ocular testimony of the prosecution witnesses is completely belied by medical evidence and, therefore, no reliance can be placed on it.He has argued that according to the statements of P.W.1 and P.W.2, who are son and nephew of the deceased have specifically stated that the accused Mahendra Singh had made two fires from his gun.The first one had hit near the neck of the deceased and when he fell down he made second fire which caused injury on the left side of chest.It is submitted that according to post-mortem report, only one gun shot injury of entry was found and the other two injuries, injury nos. 2 and 3 are wounds of exit.Therefore, on this very material point the ocular version of the eye-witnesses is wholly unreliable and indicates that they have not witnessed the incident and in consultation with the Police the case was concocted and the appellant was falsely implicated.(23) We find agreement with the finding recorded by the Trial Court that the prosecution case of two fires made by the accused-appellant cannot be out-rightly rejected as it appears that the first informant on the basis of wrong judgment or description has given a description of two fires being hit on the deceased.However, the fact remains that the evidence of P.W.1 and P.W.2 is that the appellant-accused had fired at the deceased after hurling abuses from a very close range.This fact also finds corroboration from the post-mortem report in which the first gun shot injury contained blackening around it indicating thereby that the firing was resorted from a very close range.We may also record that it is not necessary that every fire made by the accused-appellant would certainly hit the deceased or injured.As a normal reaction any human being in his instinct of self preservation would try to move and save himself and there is every possibility that only one fire out of the two fires made by the appellant-accused, only one had hit him from a very close range which had caused extensive damage to vital parts of the body.(24) The next argument about the alleged medical conflict raised by the defence counsel is that P.W.1 has stated that his father (deceased) had eaten food about half an hour before the incident.However, according to post-mortem report partially digested food was found in small intestine and according to P.W.4 Dr. Kothariya the food must have been consumed within 8 hours of the death.Submission of defence counsel is that if the deceased had eaten food half an hour before the incident then in his stomach and intestine undigested food should have been found present.We may record that according to Modis' Medical Jurisprudence, the digestion process continues even after the somatic death whereby the heart stops functioning whereas, molecular death takes place after about two hours of somatic death, therefore, till the dead body reaches the stage of molecular death, the digestion process continues to take place.Besides it, according to medical treaties the estimation of duration of death based on the digestion process is not very authentic and it only gives a rough estimation about the duration inasmuch as the time taken by individual for digestion of food differs from person to person depending on his age, general physical condition and climate etc. (25) Here we would recall the observation of the Hon'ble Apex Court made in the case of Jitender Kumar Vs.""In view of the above medical references, the view expressed in Modi's book (supra) and the principles stated in the judgments of this Court, it can safely be predicated that determination of the time of death solely with reference to the stomach contents is not a very certain and determinative factor.It is one of the relevant considerations.The Court should examine the collective or cumulative effect of the prosecution evidence along with the medical evidence to arrive at the correct conclusion.""(26) We, therefore, do not find any substance in the argument of the learned defence counsel about any such medical ocular conflict in order to discard the testimony of eye-witnesses.(27) Submission of defence counsel is that the alleged incident had taken place at the tube well of the deceased and had taken place elsewhere.We may record that from the bare perusal of the site plan, we find that the Investigating Officer has shown that the pellets were found embedded on the walls of the room near the tube well.The two empty cartridges, pellets and tiklis were also recovered from the place of incident and from the Chabutara itself.The Investigating Officer recovered blood stained earth which has clearly fixed the place of incident.(28) During cross-examination, same normal discrepancies have occurred in the statements of P.W.1 and P.W.2 which are quite natural.We could not find any of them to be major contradiction between the statements on oath and the version contained in the first information report, therefore, the testimony of P.W.1 and P.W.2 even after long cross-examination remained unshaken.There is no material on record to discard the eye-witness account of these witnesses.It was a broad day light incident in which the first information report was lodged promptly and the appellant Mahendra Singh is sole accused to whom the main role of firing has been attributed which finds corroboration by the medical evidence.The said weapon used by the appellant was recovered from his possession and, thus, we may record that the prosecution has proved its case against the appellant beyond shadow of reasonable doubt.The defence has not cross-examined the prosecution witnesses on motive and thus the same remained unchallenged.(29) There is one more ground that investigation was not fairly conducted.In support of his ground learned counsel for the appellant could not indicate a single fact from the record.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal

+"Briefly stated, case of the prosecution is that the complainant Farmida Begum (PW7) lost her husband about four years prior to the occurrence.The appellant Banne Khan had been pestering her to marry him, but she refused his offer.On 09.04.92 at about 7.00 AM in the morning, appellant Banne Khan is stated to have visited the house of the complainant and repeated his proposal of marriage to her.She, however, declined the offer and refused to marry him.Son of the Crl.A.179/95 Page 1 of 7 complainant, Salim (PW6) also told the appellant to leave.After some time the complainant went to fetch water from the house of a neighbour.When she was coming back after fetching water, at about 7.30 AM, appellant Banne Khan is stated to have attacked her with a knife and inflicted knife injuries on her chest, head, nose, left shoulder, left buttock and right side of the stomach.The incident is stated to have been witnesses by PW5 Vinod Kumar, a neighbour and PW6 Salim, son of the complainant.Because of the injuries, the complainant became unconscious.She was shifted to GTB Hospital by her son.The information about her admission in GTB Hospital was conveyed to the Police Station, which was recorded in the daily diary register as DD No.6A at the Police Station, Seelampur and investigation of the case was entrusted to ASI Kadam Singh.ASI Kadam Singh visited the hospital and obtained the MLC of the complainant who was declared unfit for statement.Thus, he appended his endorsement on the copy of DD No.6A and sent it to the Police Station for registration of the case under Section 307 IPC.A.179/95 Page 1 of 7After registration of the formal FIR, investigation was entrusted to ASI Kadam Singh.He recorded the statement of the witnesses and after completing the formalities of investigation submitted the challan against the appellant.Appellant was charged under Section 307 IPC, to which he claimed to be not guilty and claimed to be tried.A.179/95 Page 2 of 7A.179/95 Page 2 of 7On conclusion of trial, learned trial Judge relying on the testimony of the witnesses PW5 Vinod Kumar, PW6 Salim and PW7 Farmida Begum, convicted the appellant under Section 307 IPC and sentenced him vide impugned judgment and order on sentence.Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted though the learned trial Judge was right in convicting the appellant for assault and inflicting injuries on the person of Farmida Begum(PW7) with a knife, he erred in convicting the appellant under Section 307 IPC.He has submitted that the trial Judge failed to appreciate that there was neither any motive nor any intention on the part of the appellant to commit murder of complainant Farmida Begum.He has further submitted that the Trial Court also failed to take note of the fact that the prosecution had miserably failed to prove the nature of the injuries caused to the complainant which could give rise to an inference that those injuries were caused with an intention to commit murder.He has urged us to set aside the conviction under Section 307 IPC and convert it into the conviction under Section 324 IPC.Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, defended the conviction under Section 307 IPC.In our view, the aforesaid refusal ordinarily would not push a reasonable person to take such an extreme step to assault the lady with the intention to take away her life.However, the fact remains that different people react to a situation in different manner.Therefore, in order to infer whether or not the appellant had intention to commit murder of the complainant Farmida Begum, it is essential to advert to the medical evidence with a view to find out the place of injuries as well as the nature of injuries.In absence of the medical evidence, we find ourselves handicapped in coming to a conclusion about the place and the nature of injuries suffered by the complainant Farmida Begum which could help in coming to the conclusion about the intention of the appellant Crl.A.179/95 Page 5 of 7 behind the assault on the complainant.Since the prosecution has failed to produce the best evidence pertaining to the injuries suffered by the complainant and the nature of the injuries, the benefit of the lapse must go to the appellant.A.179/95 Page 6 of 7Therefore, there is no need to direct his arrest for undergoing the sentence.Appeal is disposed of accordingly.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The

+"The facts leading to filing of this Criminal Revision Petition and necessary disposal are as follows:The petitioner/ Accused had married the defacto complainant , Krishneveni, PW 1 on 27.04.2001 at Chennai.After three days, he left to USA and thereafter the defacto complainant had also joined the petitioner/ accused on 23.06.2001 at USA.She lived there with great difficulty for four months and she left from USA and came to Chennai.In the mean time, at USA, the petitioner/accused had filed an application for divorce.The defacto complainant had returned to India and also approached the Sub Court, Poonamallee, seeking restitution of conjugal rights.Then, she had filed the complaint, Ex.P.1 against the petitioner/Accused and his family members A2 to A6 for dowry harassment and cruelty inflicted upon her.On the basis of Ex.P.1, the petitioner/accused along with other accused were charge sheeted for the offence under Sections 498(A) of IPC and Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.b) The case was taken on file in C.C.No. 1003 of 2004 by the Judicialhttp://www.judis.nic.in 3 Magistrate, Alandur and necessary charges were framed.The accused had denied the charges and sought for trial.In order to bring home the charges against the accused, the prosecution examined PW.1 to PW 6 and also marked Exhibits.c) On completion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution the accused were questioned under Section 313 of Cr.P.C as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of prosecution witnesses and the accused have come with the version of total denial and stated that they have been falsely implicated in this case.During the trial A2 died and hence the charges levelled against him stood abated.d) The trial Court after hearing the arguments advanced on either side and also looking into the materials available on record, acquitted A1 to A6 from the charges levelled under Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, while acquitting A3 to A6 for the offence under Section 498(A) of IPC found the petitioner/ A1 alone guilty for the offence under Section 498(A) of IPC and convicted and sentenced him to undergo one year Rigorous Imprisonment.Against the order of acquittal of the other accused in C.C.No.1003 of 2004 dated 10.02.2005 the second respondent filed Crl.R.C.No. 742 of 2005 and Crl.However against the order of acquittal of the petitioner in C.A.No. 31 of 2005, the second respondent filed Crl.R.C.No.442 of 2014 and set aside the order of acquittal by order dated 10.02.2014 and remitted the matter back to the Principal Sessions Court, Chengalapattu.The petitioner had filed a petition to recall the exparte order in Crl.R.C.No.442 of 2014 and it was dismissed by this Court on 29.09.2014 against which the petitioner had file Special Leave Application (Crl.) in Crl.M.P.No.21952 of 2014 before the Honourable Supreme Court.The Apex Court dismissed the same by order dated 17.11.2014 however held that the Appellate Court shall not weigh with the observation made by the High Court in Crl.After remand the appeal was heard afresh and in and by the impugned judgment of the lower appellate Court, the judgment and conviction of sentence of the trial Court was confirmed.The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the trial Court having acquitted the petitioner and the other accused for offence under Section 4 of DP Act and having acquitted the other accused for offence under Section 498(A) of IPC erred in convicting the petitioner alone for the offence under Section 498(A) of IPC on the same set of evidence.The trial Court erred in convicting the petitioner when no ingredients of offence under Section 498(A) of IPC has been made out against the petitioner.The trial court disbelieved the case of prosecution in respect of incidents regarding demand of dowry and cruelty in India.However, trial Courthttp://www.judis.nic.in 5 taking into consideration the allegations regarding the incidents that happened in USA found the petitioner guilty for offence under Section 498(A) of IPC.The allegations made in respect of the incidents that happened in USA do not made out a case for offence under Section 498(A) of IPC.The finding of both Courts below suffers from the legality and perversity and the judgment of conviction and sentence have to be set aside.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that even beforehttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 marriage there was a demand of dowry and at the time of marriage 150 sovereigns of jewels and Rs.2 lakhs was paid in cash and thereafter they wife/defacto complainant went to USA.During her stay in USA, the petitioner had issued a legal notice for divorce and had filed the petition for divorce and thereby committed cruelty.5.The learned counsel for the second respondent/defacto complainant would submit that there was a demand of dowry by the parents of the petitioner and Rs.1lakh was paid to the parents of the petitioner and subsequently there was a demand of Rs. 5 lakhs and after going to USA the petitioner had committed cruelty on the defacto complainant/wife had sent her legal notice and also by filing the petition for divorce.During the stay of the defacto complainant at USA the petitioner had pushed her from the cot and caused harassment and cruelty on her.Per contra the learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the trial court had disbelieved the evidence with regard to the receipt of Rs.1 lakh and further demand of Rs. 5 lakhs during the defacto complainant's stay at India and had categorically held that the prosecution has not proved the allegations of demand of Rs.5 lakhs and had acquitted the petitioner and other accused for the offence under Section 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. The trial Court had erred in finding that by sending the legal notice at USA the petitioner had committed cruelty on the defacto complainant.He would further submit that at no stretch of imagination the conduct of sending a legal notice and filing a petition for divorce at USA can be held to behttp://www.judis.nic.in 7 an act of Cruelty within the meaning of Section 498(A) of IPC.The trial Court after analyzing the entire evidence had taken into consideration the contradiction between the witnesses and found that the prosecution has not proved the case with cogent evidence and had disbelieved the case of prosecution with regard to receipt of Rs.1lakh and demand of Rs.5 lakh by the accused and acquitted all the accused for offence under Section 4 of D.P.Act.However, the trial court had rendered a finding that the petitioner by sending legal notice at USA and having initiated the proceedings against the defacto complainant for divorce at USA had committed cruelty and convicted him for offence under Section 498(A) alone.","['Section 498 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Brief facts of the prosecution case are that on 27.2.2009 in afternoon at around 3 o'clock, Mangal Giri, Baba of temple of village concerned had raped niece of the first informant Mukesh namely Km.Saroj D/o Shankar Lal r/o Jaanipur Kalan, a minor girl, after calling her in a room of the temple while she was playing alone outside the temple.The Baba, thereafter, fled away.When the informant visited his cousin Smt. Rani's house, he came to know about this occurrence and he further inquired from children and villagers who reported that they had seen the incident.His brother-in-law (father of the victim) had gone to work as labour.He took his niece Saroj-victim smeared in blood to his sister's house from the temple.On the basis of the written report of the Mukesh F.I.R. of the offence u/s 376 IPC was registered against unknown Baba of the temple situated in village Jaanipur Kalan at the police station Shikarpur, Bulandshahar.Initially, this case was investigated by S.S.I.

prosecution, statement of the accused was recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C. in which the accused again denied the charges.To determine this, the following points are considerable, keeping in view the charges levelled by the prosecution on the accused, to dispose off the case:-1- Was the victim minor at the time of incident- if yes, was she an immature girl of under 12 years?In the report/discharge slip Ex.The conclusion of above said analysis is that at the time of the incident the victim was minor girl under 12 years.Point No:-2 As far as this point is concerned, it is a question of fact and for its disposal it would be justifiable to peruse the evidences of prosecution witnesses separately.Prosecution Witness No.1/The victim was examined as PW-1, she was aged about 12 years when she entered in the witness box.The trial court has taken care to ascertain as to whether she was able to understand the questions and able to give rational answer thereof by asking certain questions before recording her statement.After recording that she was a competent witness to depose to the fact, the trial court has proceeded to record her statement.So far as competence and reliability of testimony of a child witness, the law is fairly well settled.In the court, this witness has narrated the incident being of five months ago happened in the afternoon and the place of occurrence being the temple and the accused being the Baba residing in that temple.She has stated on oath that she was taken in the room on the pretext of giving Prasad and there she was raped.I wore my clothes, my clothes got soaked in blood after wearing it.I had received injuries on my vagina.The deposition of this witness U/s 164 Cr.P.C. was recorded before the Magistrate too.When the sealed envelope of statement U/s 164 Cr.P.C. was opened, showed and read over to the witness, she admitted the said statement and has proved it as Ex.Ka-1 stating the thumb impression and signature on it being of her own.This witness/victim has been thoroughly cross-examined.In cross-examination also, she was not shaken rather fully corroborated her statement made in examination-in-chief and stated that she used to go to the temple to play and other children too go for playing.People come there for worship but they used to come in morning, not in afternoon.On the fateful day, she alone had gone to temple for playing.Baba had called her for giving prasad while she was playing outside, but he did not give prasad and took her into the kothari of the temple where nobody was present.On asking, what game she was playing in the temple, she replied that she was playing gintu.The witness was questioned by the learned counsel for the defence that in the statement given under section 164 Cr.P.C., she had stated to the Magistrate about having gone to see barat, whereas now she stated about having gone to play.In reply, the witness clarified her statement that though she had gone to see the barat but by that time the barat had already left.So she went to the temple to play.She has categorically stated that she was striped in the room and her mouth was closed by the Baba on raising alarm.On being questioned by the court whether the door of kothari was open when the Baba put off the clothes, the witness replied that when the Baba took her into the kothari, the door was open and after entering, Baba closed the door.This witness has identified the accused present in court that this was the same Baba and has rebutted the contention that her father visited to Baba.(she) has also proved her statement to the sub-inspector and the fact of being admitted in the hospital after the incident.In her cross-examination, the witness has clearly stated that ""Baba Mangal Giri had committed the same bad act with me as told by me.I am not lying rather telling truth"".This witness has stated about regaining consciousness in the hospital and has stated that she firstly got consciousness, then she put on the clothes and after wearing clothes, she again went unconscious and then she got consciousness in the hospital.The learned counsel for the defence has contended before the court that this witness has stated that she fell unconscious and thereafter reached home stumbling and on reaching home, she narrated the incident to her mother, whereafter her parents took her to the hospital.But on the contrary in her statement in the Court, she states that she regained consciousness in the hospital, and that if she became conscious in the hospital, how did she reach her home and on this basis, (he) attempted to rebut the credibility of the witness.This question has also been asked by the court to the witness that if she got consciousness in the hospital, how did she go to her home and her reply was that she had gone stumbling in unconscious condition.This witness is very young girl and it clearly appears from her statement that by falling unconscious she means not being fully comprehended and instead not being fully conscious and being in semi-conscious condition.She is an immature girl, even mature witnesses call it fainting when they happen to feel dizzy.Otherwise too, minor contradictions or insignificant discrepancies in the statement of a witness who is otherwise unshaken, are not worth consideration.It is clear that in her examination-in-chief and cross-examination, the witness has not at all deviated on the substantial points i.e. time of the incident and the place, happening of the incident and the accused and therefore, she is totally reliable witness.This witness is complainant and the report regarding the incident has been lodged by him.This witness has also proved the fact of admission of his niece in the hospital and her medical examination.This witness/P.W.-2 was questioned in the cross-examination that when did he reach the village; how come the victim is his niece; when he got the information of the incident.In reply, the witness has clearly stated that he is resident of village- Bhailayee which is at the distance of twenty kilometers from the victim's village and the victim's mother namely Rani is his cousin, and on the fateful day, he along with his cousin (brother) and Rani's real brother namely Dhannu had gone for visiting his sister namely Rani and when reached at village- Jaanipur at about 3.00 o'clock, he got the information in the way.He stated that the incident occurred during the period when winter was on subside and it was month of February.He stated that on reaching at the village, children told him about the incident and hubbub ensued that the Baba committed such offence, then only he came to know about the incident.Hearing this, he alongwith his sister's family members and neighbors went to the temple.(This witness) has stated about writing report by himself; and then narrating the incident to the sub-inspector who had demanded for written report which was given by him.This witness has clearly stated that he did not see the incident through his own eyes and that he reached after the incident.The witness was asked that when the victim's real maternal uncle was present, why did he not lodge the report, thereupon he replied that since all people were going to Bulandshar for medical examination, so he lodged the report.(He) has stated in his report about seeing the incident by children of the village and has stated the victim's house was 100 meter away from the temple.This witness has also stated that the next day, he went back to his village- Bhailayee.This witness has also stated the victim was taken to Bulandshar Medical College from the police station by the police and was then referred to Meerut from Bulandshar.The fact is also corroborated from the documents available on the file.The witness rebutted this contention that the pradhan had taken forty thousand rupees from the Baba for repairing the floor of the temple, and on demand, the false report was lodged against Mangal Giri by misleading the complainant by pradhan.This contention has also been rebutted that he did not see the temple and has stated that (he) has had seen the temple and the kothari inside it where the Baba lived.Thus, so far as this witness is concerned, he has also corroborated the victim's statement and prosecution version.And the defence could not extract such substantial contradiction from this witness, so as to discard this witness or the victim.A contention has also been necessarily made by defence that there are contradictions in the witness's statement.Saroj smeared in blood in the village; Km.Saroj is lying unconscious; blood is oozing; please take immediate action'.He nowhere stated that he went to the temple and took the victim from the temple himself.His averment was the victim was laying in pool of blood at his sister's house and he had come to lodge the report and the same statement he has given before the court.Thus, so far as witnesses of the facts are concerned, the prosecution version has been completely corroborated by the aforesaid both the witnesses.Now, it is to be examined whether the oral evidence is corroborated by the medical evidence or not.Prosecution Witness No.:-06:-Dr. Abhilasha Gupta the doctor at Meerut Medical College who treated the victim after she was referred by Bulandshahar District Hospital.This witness has stated on oath that on 28.2.09 while she was on duty, in the above medical College, the victim namely Saroj r/o Shikarpur, Bulandshahar, village Vaireena aka Janipur Kalan, was brought on being referred by District Hospital Bulandshahar and that she underwent treatment at the Medical College.This witness has categorically stated that the victim had injuries in her vagina which was possible to have been caused by rape.""A small laceration is seen on Rt vaginal wall of size 3 x 4 mm between 5 O' clock to 6 O' clock position.""The Report Exhibit Ka-10 of Bulandshahar District Hospital contains the same injury in it. ""xx Hymen freshly torn, edges congested, bleeds on touch ragged torn edges at 6 O'clock position.Vagina full of clots.xx she is referred to Meerut Medical College for further management.""During cross-examination, this witness has stated to have found injury on the private parts of the victim, and has also stated that the victim was treated only by administering medicines without any operation.Under the clinical summary in the Ext. Ka-9, it is clearly mentioned that ""It is a medico-legal case referred from Bulandshahar District Hospital with c/o physical assault x 9 hr back bleeding per vaginum x 9 hr back."".No other major injury was found by this witness on the person of the victim.On being asked in cross examination whether such injury could be sustained on falling over some pointed object, the witness absolutely denied it.Dr. Sangeeta Jain and Dr. Vaibhav who treated the victim and whose names are there on the discharge slip, are stated to be her associates who had attended the victim under her supervision and direction.Dr. Abhilasha Gupta was Head of the department and it was under her own supervision and before her own eyes that her Associates Dr. Sangeeta, Dr. Uzma, Dr. Mona had attended the victim.Dr. Sangeeta was the consultant Doctor.This CRS number is entered by the record section at the time of admission.All the details- the name of the patient, her permanent address, date of discharge are same and the name of father is written as Sri Shanker.This witness has admitted in cross examination that the discharge slip does not contain the signature of Dr Sangeeta and that of Dr Urmila but it contains his own signature as an associate Doctor.(He) also proved the discharge slip to be in his own writing as well as that of his junior doctor Dr Uzma's handwriting and it contained the signatures of Dr. Uzma and Dr. Mona as well.During the cross examination this witness was cross-examined with regard to the name of victim's father being recorded Shivkumar instead of Sri Shanker.In reply he stated that he had clarified this during the examination in chief itself that it was a mistake and there is no difference in rest of the details.Learned Amicus Curiae appearing on behalf of the appellant argued that the name of victim's father being recorded as Shivkumar instead of Sri Shanker creates doubt as to the identity of the victim and therefore the statement cannnot be relied to implicate the accused.It is noteworthy that all the details i.e. the name of the victim, age of the victim, her being referred from Bulandshahar District Hospital, and address are same in the discharge slip Ext. Ka-9 of Meerut Medical College but the name of father is written Shivkumar instead of Sri Shanker.The victim was referred to Meerut Medical College on 27.2.09 by the district Hospital for further treatment.Verified photocopy of the above-mentioned Reference Form has been submitted by PW-6 the doctor of the Meerut Medical College.The date and address are the same as all other details.The photocopy of the case sheet Ext.Ka-13 of Medical College by PW-7 bears that very Annual number which is on the discharge slip Ext. Ka-9 and it contains name of the father of the victim as Sri Shanker.Under these circumstances only because the name of father got written as Shivkumar instead of Sri Shanker in the discharge slip due to inadvertent mistake, the identity of the victim cannot be doubted.It is not the contention of the defence that on that day some other girl named Saroj of the same address, police station and of same age was admitted on being referred from Bulandshahar District Hospital.May be due to hustle and bustle, the name of father was not heard correctly.Prosecution Witness No.8:-Dr. Madhu Sharma was examined as this witness.This witness is doctor of the District Women Hospital Bulandshahar.She has stated to have conducted medical examination of victim Saroj on 27.2.09 at 7.30pm in the above capacity and had found no external injury on the person of the victim, found breast undeveloped and pubic hair absent.Internal examination was as follows- hymen was freshly broken.Hymen was bleeding on its sides being touched.The hymen was ruptured in the condition of 6 'O' clock.The vagina had blood clots inside it.she has stated the slide having been prepared from the vaginal discharge for the examination of sperms and the same was sent to the pathology department, and in view of the critical condition of the victim she was referred to the Medical College, Meerut for further treatment, and she has also stated that the medical examination report of the C.M.O. and the photo copies of the reference letters sent to the Medical College to be present in the file and having brought along the original M.L.C. report, has verified them with the original and while stating them to be in his own handwriting and under his own signature, has proved them as Ext. Ka-8. Ka-9 and Ka-10 and has also opined that such injuries are probable to receive, if the victim is raped forcibly.This witness, in the cross-examination, has stated that the victim's parents had come with her at the time of examination and that she was in conscious state.She could not state whether she came on her own or was carried in arms by her family member.This witness has completely denied the statement of defence that the victim might have received such injury on being fallen on any pointed object while playing.She has clearly stated that such injury can not occur on being fallen on any pointed object.She has also stated that the liquid discharge could not come out because of blood clotting inside the vagina.Preetam Singh has been examined as this witness.This witness is a Pathologist.He has proved the pathological report as Ext-Ka14, and has stated that no sperm has been found in the medical examination.Hence, it is evident from the deposition of PW6 to PW8 all the three witness that the statements of the victim PW-1 and 2 are corroborated from the medical evidences also.It will be worthwhile to peruse the deposition of formal witnesses now.Prosecution Witness No.3:-Ram Shesh Misra is the writer of Chik and GD.He has proved the original G.D., Chik FIR and the carbon copy of G.D., as Ext.This witness has also corroborated the statement of PW-2 that the victim did not come alongwith the complainant.He is an informal witness.No other remark is expected on his statement.S.I. Amil Rashid has been examined as this witness.This witness has also deposed to have sent the clothes of the victim and of the accused to the Forensic Science Laboratory.He has also stated to have received the medical reports of the victim from the Medical College, Meerut.This witness has denied it that he in the collusion of the complainant has concocted a false story and that no such incident took place.He has stated that no such fact came to his cognizance, during the investigation, that the accused owed forty thousand rupee to the Pradhan Ravindra.Rather he has stated to have learnt that the accused earned his livelihood by begging and that he puts on just an underwear.Prosecution Witness No.5:-This witness, while being posted as S.S.I at PS-Shikarpur on 27.02.09, has stated the instant case being registered on the report of the complainant lodged about the rape of his niece Saroj, and that he went to the spot along with the complainant Mukesh, the victim Saroj soaked in blood at the spot, then having sent her to the Government Hospital by a private vehicle, taking into custody the clothes of the victim viz. two Kachhis, one blood stained frock and the accused's underwear into custody, and then getting the recovery memos prepared by the witness Devendra Singh, and Ravidnra Singh under their signature, wrapping and sealing and stamping of the clothes, recording statement of the witnesses, inspecting the spot and preparing the memo and site plan on pointing out of the witnesses in his handwriting & signature, and proved them as Ext.Ka-7 and Ext.He admitted the investigation having been transferred from him to S.I., Adil Rashid.One bundle sealed and stamped was opened before this witness, under the permission of the court, which had the stamp of Forensic Science Laboratory.He has also stated about taking three sepoy and one S.I along with in a jeep to go to the victim's village and making its entry in GD.He has also stated about his meeting with the Pradhan of the village Ravindra Singh, Devendra Singh, so many other persons and the victim's family members, about the victims's house being 200 metre away from the temple, about inquiring Bachchu Lal and Rajpal at the place of occurrence.This witness on cross-examination has described the place of occurrence/room that the door of the room opens in west, there was haystacks in the room, there was one mattress also on the haystack.This witness, has denied the suggestion that the frock did not have blood-stains on it.This witness has denied the suggestion that he did not go to the spot and prepared the site plan while sitting at the police station.The bundle containing the accused's underwear was not presented before this witness.In this way, no such contradictions could come out from the version of this witness which would raise a doubt on the investigation conducted by this witness.Ravindra Singh has been examined as this witness.He is witness of the recovery-memo of victim's clothes.This witness has stated the accused Mangal Giri's underwear and the victim's blood-stained clothes were taken into custody on 27.02.09 in his presence, has proved his signature on the memo and has also proved the recovery-memo 8A/7, available on file.One sealed & stamped bundle was opened under the permission of the court before this witness, and this had proved the underwear marked as material Ext.5 and the clothes was marked as material Ext.6 having been recovered in his presence.This witness, in the cross-examination, has denied that the temple was not under-construction that time.That time, the idol of Shiv Ji, and the photographs of Hanuman Ji and Parvati ji were installed.This witness informed that his house is 60 metre away from the temple.He was informed by his wife over the phone, about the incident.He came to know about the entire episode when he reached the village.He deposed that he reached before the dawn fell and the police reached just one minute after his arrival.Other persons had already gathered there.It took around half an hour in completing the whole proceedings.By that time night had completely fell but there was light.He has denied this point that he was not there at the spot and that he did not put his signature on the recovery-memo and that the underwear did not belong to Baba Mangal Giri.This witness has been alleged to have taken Rs.

+"The prosecution case was that on 07.6.2002 Nitin Aggarwal (PW-2) lodged a complaint to ASI Phool Chand in P.S. Dilshad Garden regarding kidnapping of his father Jai Narayan Aggarwal.In this complaint, he mentioned that he resided with his parents at Model Town.His shop was in Sikriwalan, Delhi and their factory was at B 16/6, Jhilmil Industrial Area.He claimed, that, he had earlier informed the police of a call he had received on the factory telephone, on 31.12.2001, wherein the caller had threatened to kidnap him and had demanded ` 5,00,000/-.In the present instance, he stated that his father, Jai Narayan Aggarwal had left for the house from the factory in his Maruti Car (No. DL 6CD 2817) at around 09.30 PM.Since his father had not reached home even at 10.30 P.M., he had called him on his mobile phone, but the call was not answered.He called his father again, at about 12.30 A.M. but his call was answered by an unknown man who told him that his father was in their custody and their ""Bhai"" would talk to him in the morning.PW-2 further stated that the informer had warned him that in case the police was informed, the body of Lalaji (his father) would be found in the drain.He suspected that Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 2 his father had been kidnapped by some gang.It was alleged that the kidnappers had demanded ` 15 lakhs for the release of Lalaji.On 13.6.2002, for securing safe release of his father, PW-2 arranged the ransom amount (30 bundles, with hundred notes of the denomination of Rs. 500 in each) and the I.O. and Nitin Aggarwal (PW-2) signed on some of the notes in ten of these bundles, and the currency notes in these bundles were then mixed up in the other twenty bundles.The kidnapper did not disclose the exact location where the ransom was to be handed over.The bag containing the ransom amount was given to Pramod Kumar Aggarwal (the uncle of PW-2 who deposed as PW-4), Surender Kumar (the brother-in-law of PW-2 who deposed as PW-9) and Kamal Kant (PW-2's friend who deposed as PW-8) who assumed false identities, and as directed by the kidnappers boarded the Delhi-Saharanpur train and sat in the last bogie of the train.When the train crossed the New Ghaziabad Railway Station they were asked to throw the bag containing the ransom money, which they did.On 14.06.2002, PW-2's father was released.Thereafter the investigation of the case was handed over to Inspector C.S. Rathi.In the course of the investigation, he got the telephone numbers used by the kidnappers for demanding ransom and the addresses, where these telephones were installed were traced.The I.O. also met the victim PW-1 Jai Narayan and obtained descriptions of the kidnappers.The IO, along with his staff, then visited the address from Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 3 where these calls had been made, which turned out to be a house in Khatoli, Muzaffar Nagar (where Telephone No. 73119 was installed).There, they met one Rakesh who told them that Titu@ Mukesh Verma used to receive and make calls from that number to Deepak.They were also told that Deepak was related to Pradhan Ram Naresh.The IO met Pradhan Ram Naresh and enquired about Deepak after disclosing all the facts to him.He admitted that Deepak was his brother-in-law and resided in Lajpat Nagar, Ghaziabad.Thereafter, the IO along with the staff and the Pradhan reached Deepak's house, where they found him.On seeing the police party, Deepak tried to flee; however, he was nabbed and interrogated.During interrogation, Deepak confessed his involvement in the offence and his disclosure led to recovery of a sum of ` 9,49,500/- which was kept in a black colored suitcase lying in the almirah.The notes were sealed and seized; Deepak was arrested.At his instance, Sukram Pal was caught who led to recovery of a desi katta and two cartridges which were used in the commission of the offence.A sum of ` 9,000/- was also recovered from his possession; it was seized.Sukram Pal and Deepak led the police to Mukesh's house where a scooter was parked.Deepak allegedly revealed that the said scooter was used to receive the ransom amount.The scooter was taken into possession; Mukesh, however was untraceable.Sukram Pal and Deepak also pointed out Rihan's house (No. 112, Devi Dass Mohalla, Khatoli) where Jai Narayan was kept captive, after his abduction.Rihan was not present in the house.However, his wife Samina was there.The police party searched the premises and recovered Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 4 cash of ` 60,000/- in the denomination of Rs. 500/-.On 25.06.2002, accused Deepak was interrogated and he revealed that he had deposited ` 9000 in Citi Bank.This money was seized.Learned counsel highlighted that PW-2 had deposed about a threat six months prior to the incident, i.e. 31.12.2001 whereby a call demanding ` 5 lakhs as ransom and a further threat to kidnap had been made-out.The complainant had alerted the police about this fact.The truthfulness of the testimonies of PWs-2 and 19, Inspector Brij Mohan was evident from the fact that Ex. PW-2/B, which is prepared on 13.06.2002, clearly described the currency notes which were marked.Learned counsel submitted that the relative series on the currency notes were noted and countersigned by PW-2 and PW-19. PW-4 deposed having witnessed that 30 packs of cash in denominations of ` 500/- each, totaling ` 15 lakhs had been seen and that the police official, PW-19 had signed on the 10th, 20th and 30th note of each of ten bundles and that ten bundles were then mixed with 20 bundles.The signed currency notes were in 10 bundles.The recoveries made pursuant to the disclosure statement of Deepak, (who was arrested on 20.06.2002) established that several of those signed notes were taken into custody; these were evidenced by the Memo, Ex. PW-12/E. Deepak failed to explain these and merely denied having possessed them, in his reply to the queries put under Section 313 Cr.PC.Learned APP argued that the case was in fact solved after Deepak's arrest since he led to the place where PW-1 had been confined, i.e., Rihan's house.Further, currency notes were seized from that place.They were the subject matter of Ex. PW-12/Q.Learned APP urged here that the these accused were in fact arrested much later on 25.06.2002; they had refused to participate in the Test Identification Parade (TIP) proceedings as deposed to by PW-18, who recorded his observations in the documents marked during the trial as Ex. PW-18/A to PW-18/D. It was argued that besides the recoveries made on 20.06.2002 from Rihan's house, aggregating ` 60,000, a further amount of ` 31,000/- was recovered pursuant to his disclosure statement, after his arrest.Furthermore, the belt which belonged to the abducted person, PW-1 was also recovered and produced during the trial; it was seized under Memo Ex. PW-11/E.Like in the case of Rihan, Mukesh too was identified by PW-1; he too was arrested on 25.06.2002; his disclosure statement, assisted the police in the recovery of currency notes to the tune of ` 2,69,500/-.These also contained some marked notes; photocopies of all the notes and some of the original notes were produced during the trial.It was urged that during the course of investigation, specimen finger prints of the accused were taken.The specimen print, S-2 (belonging to Mukesh), part of Ex. PW-22/B-3 matched with the specimen of left thumb, designated as Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 12 chance prints Q-2 and marked as S-2 in the report, which was produced as Ex. PW-22/L. Similarly, the chance print developed by the finger print expert, PW-22, i.e. Q-3 was identical with the right thumb mark, S-3 from the finger print specimen of Rihan, according to the report, Ex. PW-22/F and 22/M. These recoveries, coupled with the positive identification by PW-1, of Mukesh and Rihan established beyond reasonable doubt that they were involved in the offence alleged against them.It was submitted that as regards Sukhram Pal, two recoveries of ` 9,000/- and ` 10,000/- (Ex. PW-12/L and Ex. PW-11/C), and the recovery of katta, Ex. PW-12/N proved his involvement.Furthermore, the evidence of PW-1 revealed that Sukhram Pal guarded the premises when the victim was in custody of the abductors.At that time, the callers had threatened to resort to abduction and demanded ` 5 lakhs.On the day of the incident, i.e. on 06.06.2002, the witness was worried since his father did not return at the scheduled time from his factory.At 12.30 AM, he made a telephone call to his father's mobile; it was received by someone else, who stated that his father had been abducted; a ransom demand was made thereafter.PW-1 further deposed having received another call at his residence, later on 07.06.2002, by which the Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 13 caller asked him to arrange ` 25 lakhs.He was thereafter allowed to talk to his father at 10.00 PM that night.Apparently there was a lull after this and on 13.06.2002, PW-2 arranged for ` 15 lakhs and had them marked by the police; PW-4, his uncle, Pramod Kumar supports this statement.After 30 bundles containing ` 500/- denomination notes, aggregating to ` 15 lakhs, (of which 10 bundles were marked and signed by PWs-19 and PW- 2 at serial numbers 10, 20 and 30 of each bundle), all currency bundles were mixed.PWs-4, 8 and 9 went along with the bundles, on the last bogie of the train from Shahdara Railway Station.According to a pre-arranged plan with the abductors, the bundle was thrown near the New Ghaziabad Railway Station.The next day, i.e. on 14.06.2002, PW-1, Jai Narayan was released.The investigation thereafter proceeded and the police traced the calls somewhere to Khatoli in U.P. According to the prosecution version, initially Rakesh and subsequently Pradhan Ram Naresh were questioned; this led to the arrest of Deepak and Sukhram Pal on 20.06.2002 and subsequent arrests on 25.06.2002, of Mukesh and Rihan, and the recoveries alleged in this case.Apart from bald and general denials, these Appellants could not give any reasonable explanation to these incriminating circumstances.Mr. K.B. Andley, Sr.Advocate with Mr. M.Shamikh, Advocate for appellant in Crl.A. Nos.1315 & 1383/2011 Mr. Bhupesh Narula, Advocate for appellant in Crl.A. No.1/2012 Ms. Stuti Gujral, Advocate for appellant in Crl.A. 2/2012 Mr. Sanjay Lao, APP on behalf of the State in all the matters.In these appeals, common judgment and order on sentence dated 17.09.2009 of learned Additional Sessions Judge SC No.15/2009 has been challenged.The Appellants were convicted for committing offences punishable under Sections 364-A/34 IPC, and sentenced to undergo life imprisonment, with fine.On the same day Rihan and Mukesh Verma @ Titoo were arrested by the police; they made disclosure statements.On 26.6.2002 at the instance of Mukesh, one charger along with one mobile, a police uniform were recovered from his house.He also assisted in the recovery of ` 2,67,500/- which was taken into possession by the I.O. Sukram Pal assisted in recovery of ` 10,000/- from his house.Rihan's disclosure led to recovery of ` 31,000/- from his house which was also taken into possession.After completion of investigation charge sheet for the offences punishable U/s 365/364A/34 IPC was filed against the accused before the Trial Court.Upon being charged, the accused claimed that they were not guilty.The Trial Court, after considering the evidence led by the prosecution - which included testimony of 25 public witnesses and the exhibits produced in the case, concluded that the Appellants were guilty as charged, and sentenced them, in the manner described above.Appeals Nos.1315/2011 & 1383/2011, though filed in 2011, involved individuals who were in jail for about 9 years (Deepak and Mukesh); consequently the matters were set down for hearing.At the stage of final hearing, on 03.01.2012 it was noticed that the co-accused, Rihan and Sukhrampal had not preferred appeals.Consequently, the Court directed Delhi High Court Legal Services Committee to contact them, and Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 5 ascertain if they wished to file appeal.The DHCLSC did contact them; their appeals were filed, as Crl.At the outset, this Court wishes to record its appreciation and acknowledgement to counsel assigned by the DHCLSC, i.e., Shri.Bhupesh Narula, and Ms. Stuti Gujral (who appeared and argued on behalf of Shri Siddharth Agarwal).They were fully prepared with the matter, and rendered meaningful assistance to the Court and, as shall be seen hereafter, their contribution was invaluable.It was submitted that the two individuals, through whom Deepak's role was ascertained, i.e., Rakesh and Pradhan Ram Naresh, were deliberately not examined during the trial.They could have given valuable information about the role, if at all, played by Deepak, in the episode.It was urged that admittedly, according to PW-1's testimony, two individuals had abducted him; one pointed the katta at him, and later muffled his face with a towel, and the other was in a police uniform.Deepak was not among these two.Furthermore, Deepak was not shown to Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 6 be connected with any of the co-accused.Moreover, though the witness mentioned the currency notes, the prosecution had not proved their seizure, as the originals were not produced in court; only photocopies were relied on.This, according to the counsel was unacceptable, and did not amount to proof of such fact.It was argued that even if it was assumed that Deepak had currency notes which he could not explain or account for, that circumstance, in the absence of positive evidence linking him with the abduction, threat to PW- 1's life, or apprehension of his bodily injury, and in the absence of any Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 7 demand (by Deepak) could not have led the Trial Court to find his guilt for the offence under Section 364-A, IPC, especially when there was no charge of conspiracy under Section 120-B IPC.He did not ascribe any special role, i.e. his Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 8 standing guard over him, when he was held captive, after abduction.It was urged in this regard, that the victim had been confined after his abduction for quite some time; had this accused been keeping guard over him, all the while, PW-1 would have named him, or mentioned his role, in the statement recorded during investigation, immediately after he was set free.Such was not the case.Counsel for Rihan also argued that the prosecution version about recovery of ` 91,000/- from him, in two lots was unbelievable.Here, it was argued that none of the notes bore any markings or signatures, as alleged during the trial.The entire conviction hinged on the testimony of PW-1 who could not have identified the appellant, as he saw him fleetingly at night.During the trial, all the accused had refused to participate in the TIP (testified by the concerned Magistrates - PW-18 and 21).However, the victim, PW-1 was able to identify Mukesh and Rihan during the trial, without any difficulty.The role attributed to Mukesh was that he initially Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 14 asked PW-1 to give him a lift till a turning (bend in the road).Mukesh was dressed in a police uniform which too was also seized pursuant to the disclosures made by him after his arrest.Rihan, who too was identified by PW-1, accompanied Mukesh.Both of them had approached PW-1's car.Rihan sat at the back.When the car reached the turning, the accused were asked to get-down; they, however, requested PW-1 to cross the bridge.PW-1 further stated that when the car reached the middle of the bridge, Rihan pointed a country made pistol to his temple and asked him to stop.Jai Narayan snatched the pistol and threw it on the road.Mukesh took out a knife and pointed it at his abdomen and pushed him.Rihan, in the meanwhile, took-out a towel and threw it on Jai Narayan's face.Both of them pulled him out and kept him in the back seat of the car; Mukesh took over the wheel and drove it for about 2-2 hours.It is also stated that Rihan lifted the country made pistol which had been thrown down by Jai Narayan.He further deposed being taken to the accused's house, and identified Rihan's wife as Shamina and his eldest daughter's name as Shibbo.PW-1 could recount all the events which took place when he was in the custody of the abductors.He had led the police to the house where he had been confined.It can be seen from the evidence of PW-1 that he was clear as regards the identification of Mukesh and Rihan.He could identify the family members as well as the location of Rihan's house.Though PW-1 was cross- examined, on the behalf of the accused, nothing significant could be elicited to discredit his testimony.A submission on behalf of Mukesh was that the prosecution could not establish how the investigation in fact commenced.Added to these were two other circumstances, according to counsel, which falsified the prosecution story.Here it was urged that the police witnesses deposed to having having ascertained the call details as well as the ownership of the telephone number and yet omitted to bring that material evidence during trial, on record.Two, the entire story about the currency notes being handed-over to the police for marking on 13.06.2002 and being dropped at a pre-arranged destination on that day itself is unsupported by any objective material.It was urged that no call details were proved, to establish that in fact any of the witnesses, who had boarded the train were contacted at the relevant time, signaling them to throw the bags of Crl.A. Nos.1315, 1383/2011, 1 & 2/2012 Page 16 currency.Furthermore, argued counsel, the easiest thing that the police could have done was to follow the train or try and nab those who tried to pick-up the currency notes.As far as the recoveries from Rihan and Sukh Ram Pal are concerned, the witness who primarily deposed about it is PW 11 HC Anil Kumar.He deposed that on 26.6.2002 accused Mukesh led the police to a house; this led to recovery of a police uniform, Panasonic make mobile phone and a charger.Mukesh's statement also led to the recovery of ` 2,67,500/-.Yet ` 19,000/- was recovered at his behest.He was not a party to any covert or overt act, threatening PW-1; nor was he a party to his abduction and illegal confinement.Their appeals, Crl.A. Nos. 1383/2011 and 2/2012 are consequently dismissed.The conviction of Deepak, is, for the reasons discussed above, modified to one under Section 365/34 IPC read with Section 411 IPC.He is sentenced to undergo RI for seven years, for the offence under Section 365/34 IPC.","['Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

P. 12 and the Chemical report Ex. P. 19 Laid the final report as against the accused for the offence Under Section 302 r/w 34, I.P.C.The incriminating circumstances found In the testimony of prosecution witnesses were put to the accused Under Section 313, Cr.P.C. The accused submitted that a false case was foisted on them.in the background of the prosecution version as spoken to by Udayakumar, P.W.5 and Soundarajan, P.W. 1, has come to the conclusion that all the accused joined together and committed the murder punishable Under Section 302 r/w 34, I.P.C.The learned Counsel appearing for the appellant/accused would submit that the extra judicial confession alleged to have been given to Kalidas P.W. 15 does not inspire judicial confidence as P.W. 15 has been examined about 7 days after the occurrence.However, apart from Kalidas P.W. 15, there is no evidence to establish that these accused committed the offence of murder as alleged by the prosecution.The trial Judge has failed to see the extra Judicial confession in its proper perspective and proceeded to accept the same and record a judgment of conviction as against all these accused.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the extra judicial confession has been given by the first accused to his close friend Kalidas P.W. 15 immediately after the occurrence.The conduct of the accused involved in the crime will also have to be taken into consideration.The trial Court has rightly come to the conclusion based on the testimony available on record that it was only these accused who committed the murder in pursuance of common intention punishable Under Section 302 r/w 34, I.P.C.At that time, he found all the accused at the Tea shop.The first accused confided to him that the accused had murdered Senu.However, during the course of cross-examination, he had stated that he had not passed on the information either to his friends or to his kith and kin.It is not as if he had gone to the police station immediately after the occurrence.He has categorically deposed before the Court that from 4.3.2003 to 10.3.2003 he was very much available in Chenhai.His explanation is that he did not divulge the information to any person as the first accused A.1 asked him not to reveal the fact to any other person.It is found from his testimony that he came down to police station when A1, A3, A5 were brought to police station for examination.P.W. 15 would state that he had informed the police that A.1 confessed that he had committed the murder of Senu.The delay in examination of P.W. 15 has not been properly expLained by the prosecution.If P.W. 15 had been examined the next day and he has come out with the extra judicial confession alleged to have been given by the first accused, then we can give some credence to his testimony.It is quite unnatural for a person not to reveal to anybody such information for seven days.Therefore, extra judicial confession reportedly given by A.1 to P.W. 15, is unreliable and untrustworthy.It is totally unsafe to rely upon such doubtful version to return a verdict of conviction.Soundarajan P.W. 1 has spoken to the motive part of the prosecution story.Udayakumar P.W. 5 has also spoken the fact that the deceased used to Support him and pick up quarrel with the first accused.P.Ws. 1 to 6 have spotted the accused at about 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. on 3.3.2003 near Kaliyamman kovil temple.There is no evidence to establish that they came there to annihilate Senu.The presence of the accused was not connected to the crime at all by the witnesses examined on the side of the prosecution.There is evidence to show that the third accused approached not only Arumugam Nayakar P.W. 9 but also father in law Ranganathan P.W. 10 demanding a sum of Rs. 1,000/- to go over to Chennai.Such piece of evidence is not so material to incriminate the accused in a case of murder.The statement of P.W. 1 to P.W. 4 recorded by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate Krishnasamy, P.W. 11 would disclose that there was motive for the crime and the accused were spotted during night on the date of occurrence.P.W. 1 to P.W. 4 have spoken to such fact before the Court also when the trial was taken up by the learned Sessions Judge.The learned trial Judge should have avoided examining the Judicial Magistrate when the witnesses have not turned hostile.We cannot assume things based on the motive part of the prosecution story spoken to by this witnesses conjectures and surmises are quite alien to criminal jurisprudence.The recovery has been made at the instance of A.1, A.3 and A.5 only after they were taken to police custody.As the recovery has been effected based on the alleged confession statement given by A.1, A.3 and A.5 when they were in the police custody, we do not attach much importance to the recovery part of the case put forth by the prosecution.Of course the testimony of Dr. Manokaran, P.W. 16 in the background of the' postmortem certificate Ex. P. 13 would establish that Senu @ Sreenivasan was put to death.But when there is no cogent evidence to connect the accused to the crime, we are unable to agree with the view taken by the learned First Additional Sessions Judge, Chennai.We find that the prosecution has miserably failed to establish that A. 1 to A.5 committed the murder of Senu @ Sreenivasan punishable Under Section 302 r/w 34, I.P.C.In result the Judgment of conviction and sentence passed in S.C.

+"The allegations leveled in the present case are that on 06.08.2012, a police report was lodged by one Yogesh with regard to missing of his mother Smt.Darshana Devi.It was alleged by the complainant in the complaint that his mother left the house on 21.07.2012 after being called by an unknown lady.Thereafter, the Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 1 of 5 mobile phone of his mother could not be connected.The complainant found two registers from the room of his mother wherein entries regarding money transaction were made.732/2016 Page 1 of 5During the course of investigation, call detail record of the mobile phone of Smt. Darshana Devi was analyzed and on the basis of same, accused Yash Pal @ Sonu was arrested, who disclosed that he had taken money from Smt.Darshana Devi and was unable to return it and thus, he planned to eliminate her.He also disclosed that on 21.07.2012, he along with accused Manoj took Smt.Darshana Devi towards village Daryapur.They both got down from the car on the pretext of tyre puncture and sat on the rear seat.Accused Yashpal caught hold the hands of Smt.Darshana and accused Manoj strangled her to death with her chunni.Accused Yashpal took ear ring, gold chain, mobile phone and cash of Rs.12,000/- of the deceased and then threw the dead body on the side of canal in bushes near village Rohat, PS Sadar, District Sonepat, Haryana.During further investigation, receipt of Muthoor Finance Corporation regarding mortgage of jewellery and SIM card which was used for talking to the deceased were recovered from accused Yashpal.At the instance of accused Yashpal, decomposed dead body of deceased was also recovered which was identified by her son Yogesh.Accused Manoj was also arrested and at the instance of both the accused persons, car used in the crime was recovered.The present application under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. has been filed on behalf of the petitioner for the grant of regular bail in FIR No.427/2012, under Sections 364/302/201/404/120B IPC, Police Station Narela.On the basis of complaint made, FIR No.427/2012, PS Narela under Section 365 IPC was registered.Bail Appln.Thereafter, Sections 302/201/120B/34 Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 2 of 5 IPC were added in the present case.Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 2 of 5During further investigation, ornaments of deceased were seized from Muthoot Finance office.A sum of Rs.47,045/- from accused Yashpal was also seized which he had taken after mortgaging the ornaments.Mobile phone of accused Yashpal was also seized.Two diaries of deceased having entry of Rs.14 lacs lent to accused Yashpal were also seized.Statement of one public witness Jogender was recorded who stated that he saw the deceased and accused Yashpal along with one person in the car near Sannoth Village, Narela.Moreover, the accused Manoj even refused to participate in the Test Identification Parade.Arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner are that the deceased went missing since 21.07.2012 and her missing report was lodged on 06.08.2012 and the FIR was registered on 11.08.2012, whereas the statement of public witness PW7 Jogender was recorded on 18.08.2012 which creates doubt regarding the story of prosecution.It was further argued that the dead body was recovered on 14.08.2012 and in the post mortem report, no ante mortem injuries were found and also no exact cause of death was opined by the doctor.It was further argued that there is no report of the doctor to the effect that the death of the deceased was a homicidal death.Nothing incriminating has come on record against the petitioner.It was further submitted that the petitioner is behind the bar since 15.08.2012 and the conclusion of trial is likely to take time.On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 3 of 5 the State has argued that witness Jogender has clearly identified both the accused persons as the persons who were lastly seen in the company of deceased on 21.07.2012 i.e. the day she went missing.It was further argued that the mobile phone locations of both the accused persons were found at the same location of mobile phone of the deceased on the day when the deceased went missing.The ornaments of deceased as well as their receipt mortgaging the same with Muthoot Finance Company were also recovered from accused Yashpal.Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 3 of 5In the facts and circumstances, this Court is of the view that the allegations leveled against the petitioner are serious in nature to the effect that he criminally conspired with his co-accused and in furtherance of the said conspiracy committed the murder of deceased for a sum of Rs.1 lacs.It is specifically alleged against him that he was last seen in the company of deceased along with co-accused Yashpal and this fact has been stated in the statement of witness PW7 Jogender.The contention of the petitioner that no cause of death of deceased has been given by the doctor cannot be appreciated at this stage for the reasons that the trial is still going on and no comments on the merits of the case can be made at this stage.It is also apparent from the record that the highly decomposed dead body of the deceased was recovered and that too after many days of death.It is also specifically alleged against the petitioner that he strangled the deceased with the help of her chunni.It is also matter of record that the petitioner refused to join the Test Identification Parade.Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 4 of 5In view of the seriousness of the offence and the fact that there was active involvement of the petitioner in the commitment of the murder of the deceased and he refused to join the Test Identification Parade, this Court does not find it fit to enlarge the petitioner on bail.The bail application is accordingly dismissed.(P.S.TEJI) JUDGE MAY 30, 2016 dd Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 5 of 5Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 5 of 5","['Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"It is not in disputeand cannot be disputed that she died due to asphyxia by strangulation asfound by PW 1, autopsy doctor.A contusion of 9 cm x 3 cm size was foundacross the front of the neck underlying skin, muscle, trachea, oesophaguscongested and hyoid bone was fractured, extravasation of blood in the neckregion due to injury of neck vessels.It was also found that the tongue hadprotruded out and was bitten by teeth of both jaws.Blood was coming outfrom mouth and and nose.Both eyes were closed and congested and face wasalso congested.The membranes were congested, brain base of skull, pleura,larynx, trachea, bronchi, both the lungs and pharynx were found congested.Yet another circumstanceput forward and which is highly artificial and unbelievable and beyondcredulity is that he started in the morning on 27-9-198 from DW 1's houseand directly reached the court, covering a distance of 70 kms by 10 a.m.and he remained in the court up to 11 a.m. without going to the house whichis situated hardly 1 1/4 kms from the court.It is highly unbelievable andunacceptable.It is also an admitted position that he had news of hiswife's death in the court at 11 a.m. He did not disclose the name of theinformer.The bail bonds of the first respondent standcancelled.He should surrender forthwith to serve out the sentence.In casehe does not surrender himself, the Superintendent of Police, Banda Districtis directed to take him into custody forthwith and report the compliance tothe Registry of this Court.The bail bonds of the second respondent standdischargedWe have heard learned counsel on both sidesIn Sessions Trial No. 78 of 1985 in the Court of the Special Judge (E.C.Act), Banda, the Sessions Judge convicted Ramesh Prasad Misra, the firstrespondent under Section 302 Indian Penal Code ('IPC', for short) andsentenced him to death.He was also convicted under Section 201 IPC andsentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment (RI) for four years and to pay afine of Rs 1000 and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for sixmonths.He was also convicted under Section 498-A and sentenced to undergotwo years' RI and to pay a fine of Rs 1000 and in default to undergofurther simple imprisonment for six months.All the sentences were directedto run concurrently, Smt Butto Devi, the second respondent, mother of thefirst respondent, was acquitted of the offence under Section 302 but wasconvicted under Section 201 IPC and sentenced to undergo RI for four yearsand a fine of Rs 1000 and in default to undergo six months' simpleimprisonment.She also was convicted under Section 498-A and sentenced toundergo RI for two years and to pay a fine of Rs 1000 and in default toundergo simple imprisonment for a further period of six months.Both thesentences were directed to run concurrently.A Division Bench of theAllahabad High Court consisting of B.N. Katju and D.S. Bajpai, J.J.,however, by judgment dated 21-7-1988 in Criminal Appeal No. 2108 of 1987acquitted both the respondents of all the charges and also rejected thereference for confirmation of death sentence.Thus this appeal by specialleaveThis is one of the most horrendous bedroom murders of a young marriedgirl, Urmila Devi, of 19 years on the intervening night of26-9-1985/27-9-1985 in Karwi town in Banda District of Uttar Pradesh.Shewas married to Ramesh Prasad Misra, aged around 28 years, a practisingadvocate at Karwi, on 25-4-1985 and hardly after five months she met withcruel death.She was carrying 4 to 6 weeks' pregnancy.These circumstances clearly indicate force and pressure put upon her andconclusively establish that the death occurred due to asphyxia bystrangulation.Thereafter, the dead body was burnt and the entire body wasburnt except the feet.It would thus be clear that the burns were post-mortem.The offence is, therefore, one of murder.It would beconclusive that the death had taken place around midnight of26-9-1985/27-9-1985 in the bedroom of the first respondentThe question, therefore, is whether the first respondent has committedthe murder of his wife ? Undoubtedly, the entire prosecution case rests oncircumstantial evidence.It is settled law that it is the duty of theprosecution to establish all the circumstances conclusively to hold thatthe respondent alone had committed the offence.Witnesses may be prone tospeak, and in this case, material witnesses have spoken falsehood but thecircumstantial evidence will not.It is, therefore, the duty of the courtto carefully scan through the evidence on the anvil of human conduct,probabilities and attending circumstances extending all doubts in favour ofthe accused.In a case of this type, hardly any direct evidence would beforthcoming for the prosecutionThe case of the prosecution is sought to be based on the evidence of PW2 and PW 6 - a practising advocate who are, admittedly, the neighbours.Intheir statement under Section 161 of Criminal Procedure Code, ('CrPC', forshort) they have stated that they heard the quarrel between the firstrespondent and his wife, Urmila Devi and the latter was heard crying.However, both the witnesses turned hostile to the prosecutionThe question is whether the first respondent was present at the time ofdeath or was away in the village of DW 1, his brother-in-law.It is rathermost unfortunate that these witnesses, one of whom was an advocate, havinggiven the statements about the facts within their special knowledge, underSection 161 recorded during investigation, have resiled from correctness ofthe versions in the statements.They have not given any reason as to whythe investigating officer could record statements contrary to what they haddisclosed.It is equally settled law that the evidence of a hostile witnesswould not be totally rejected if spoken in favour of the prosecution or theaccused, but it can be subjected to close scrutiny and that portion of theevidence which is consistent with the case of the prosecution or defencemay be accepted.One clinching circumstances, viz., that PW 2 and PW 6 hadheard some quarrels in the house of the respondents and the deceased wascrying out, is not on record as substantive evidence.PW 2 and PW 6 had noregard for truth; they fabricated the evidence in their cross-examinationto help the accused which did not find place in their Section 161statements that they had seen one man of white complexion and aged between30 to 35 years, going to the house of the deceased on the fateful night andleaving the house at 8.00 a.m. on the next dayHe slept in the houseand left the house on the next day, i.e. 27-9-1985, at 8 a.m. This wasspoken of not only in his statement made under Section 313 CrPC by thefirst respondent but also, as stated above in the evidence of PW 2 and PW 6in their cross-examination.PW 2, Biswas Kumar, a neighbour of therespondents and PW 6, Harshvir Singh were examined to prove the prosecutioncase that on the intervening night of 26-9-1985/27-9-1985 they heardquarrels emanating from the house of the accused and the deceased was heardcrying; but they turned hostile at the trial and were duly declared hostileand were cross-examined.PW 6, is none other than a practising advocate anda colleague of the 1st respondent.Equally, PW 5, Alok Dwivedi is anotherpractising advocate who was also examined to prove that the firstrespondent himself and one Avadh Vishwa Karma, Advocate, together had gonefrom the Court with the written report, Ex. KA-3 signed by the firstrespondent to the police station and had given it at the Police Station,Karwi at about 2.00 p.m. DW 2, Bhavendra Kumar Singh, an advocate of 20years' standing and the senior of the first respondent was examined toprove the alibi.It is most distressing to note that practising advocate,PW 6 and DW 2, with a view to exculpate the first respondent from theclutches of law, have, without any compunction, spoken falsehood and haveno regard for truth betraying their duty of being responsible law officerswho are expected to uphold truth and nothing but the truth.DW 2 has spokenfalsely that after the first respondent got the news of the death of hiswife he was often fainting and swooning which was not even spoken by thefirst respondent in his Section 313 statement.He should have rushed home to find outthe cause for the death and search out whether the crime was for gain etc.and immediately swing into action and make the police investigate into thecrime.On the other hand, although he had the news at 11 a.m. he went tothe police station at 2.10 p.m. after finding no escape from furtherdelaying the reporting to the police of the crime.This conduct isinconsistent and incompatible with normal human behaviour of an innocentman but seems to be one of a clever demeanour.The evidence of DW 2regarding occasional faints and swooning and ultimate unconsciousness is abunch of tissues of lies unsavoury to be acceptedThe question is whether this theory of alibi and of a strangercommitting crime is true, likely and probable ? The deceased was hardly 19years' old, a young teenager who was studying in intermediate standard atthe time of marriage.PW 2, Chandra Shekhar had five daughters and UrmilaDevi was the third one and being a man of small means, he anxiously marriedher to the first respondent, spending Rs 35, 000 with fond hope that shewould have a bright married life which ultimately turned out to be helllosing her precious life.After the marriage, she was staying with herhusband and had spent hardly five months and was having 4 to 6 weeks'pregnancy.There is no suggestion even of her being of loose character.Ifthe stranger had really come and stayed in the house and committed murderby strangulation, would he have burnt the dead body so as to createevidence to alert the neighbours to come and catch him ? It would beabhorrent to the common sense to believe it.Yet another circumstance todisbelieve this theory is that having committed the murder at midnight,would he have waited till 8.00 a.m. and left the house after daybreak so asto secure evidence of his presence and of having committed the murder ?Under this clinching impossible human conduct, the theory of a stranger'scoming to the house, staying with the deceased during the intervening nightof 26-9-1985/27-9-1985 and of committing her murder is a false one.Theevidence of PW 2 and PW 6 in this behalf is a figment of imagination,emanating from fertile confabulation of 1st respondent, PW 6 and obviouslyof DW 2 and his other colleagues who are all practising advocatesYet another theory set up by the first respondent to prove his alibi isthat pursuant to a letter dated 18-9-1985 written by his brother-in-law, DW1, resident of Jharimajugaon, a railway employee stating that his sisterwas unwell and that on its receipt on 24-9-1985, he went to see his sisterdirectly from the court on 25-9-1985 without coming to his house andkeeping his briefs and coat in the house.He is stated to have kept hiscoat in a shop.It appears to be a highly artificial theory set up by thefirst respondent.On his own admission of DW 1, his wife, viz., the sisterof the first respondent had usual fever which did not warrant him to gostraight from the court to his sister's house without coming to his houseand informing his wife of his going, without keeping his coat and also hisrecord in the house.DW 1 admitted that one vaidya was treating her forfever and that fever continued even after the first respondent left thehouse.DW 1 was attending to his duties going to a distant place.Noprescription of medicine was given.The distance between Karwi and hissister's village is 70 kms.Even assuming that he had gone on 25thSeptember, he would have returned on 26th evening.He merely mentions that while he was in court at 11 a.m. he received themessage that his wife had died and he went to the house and after seeingher dead body he went to the police station and lodged the report.There isno explanation as to where he was moving or what he was doing from 11 a.m.to 2.10 p.m. and why he had lodged the report at 2.10 p.m. when he hadreceived the message of the death of his wife at 11 a.m. He did not evenmention that his wife was having burn injuries.It is now seen that thedeceased was first strangulated and done to death and was then burnt.Obviously, therefore, he had not committedhimself to any specific cause of the death.If the theory of stranger'scoming and causing the death of his wife is excluded and his theory that hehad gone to his sister's house and he did not come back to his house tillhe received the information that his wife was dead which information hereceived at 11 a.m. on 27-9-1985, stands excluded, and for the aboveobvious reasons, it does get excluded, then the necessary conclusion isthat he must have been present in the house.None could have access to hisbedroom at midnight.So he committed the murder and he wanted to createevidence of screening the offence of murder by burning her to create anevidence of suicide committed by the deceased.These false theories set upby the first respondent are yet another circumstance to complete the chainto inculpate the first respondent in the commission of the offence ofmurder and scratching the evidence of murder.There is strong evidence ofPW 2, father and PW 4, sister of the deceased, of demand for dowry whichfurnishes motive to commit murderTheevidence of PW 2 and PW 4, father and sister of the deceased who spokeabout the motive, was excluded on applying Section 32 of the Evidence Act.Thus, evenassuming that Section 32 is inapplicable to the facts of this case as heldby the learned Judges of the High Court, the narration of the facts ofdemand for dowry of sofa, motor cycle etc. and non-supply thereof is apiece of evidence to prove motive for committing the offence of murder.Such evidence would be relevant and admissible under Section 8 of theEvidence Act. The deceased informed these witnesses of the ill-treatmentmeted out to her due to her inability to secure the articles demanded byRamesh Prasad Misra.On the other hand, the learnedJudges of the High Court betrayed their duty of final court of fact, tosubject the evidence to close and critical scrutiny.They either have noknowledge of the elementary principles of criminal law or adopted casualapproach towards a serious crime like the present one.In either case,miscarriage of justice is the inevitable result at their hands in criminalcasesAccordingly, we set aside the acquittal of the first respondent inrespect of all the three charges and restore the conviction of the firstrespondent for an offence of murder under Section 302 IPC.However, thesentence of death, recorded by the Sessions Judge is converted into RI forlife.","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

hidden the sickle in his house.In pursuance of thesaid statement, he took PW-18 and the witnesses to his house and produced thesickle, [MO-1].The deceased was removed to the hospital.*************[Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.] The appellant is the sole accused in S.C.No.369 of 2001, on the fileof the learned Additional Sessions Judge, [Fast Track Court No.I], Tuticorin.Hestood charged for offences under Sections 341, 302, 326 and 506(ii) of theIndian Penal Code.By Judgment dated 07.10.2003, the Trial Court has convictedhim under all the

theoffence under Section 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code, to undergo rigorousimprisonment for one year and to pay a fine of Rs.500/- in default to undergoimprisonment for one month.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, theappellant has come up with this Criminal Appeal.The case of the prosecution, in brief, is as follows:- The deceased, in this case, was one Mr.PW-1 is hiswife and PW-2 is the son of the deceased.Twoyears prior to the occurrence, there arose a dispute between the deceased andthe accused in respect of cutting of acacia trees.This resulted in a criminalcase against the deceased, PW-2, one Marimuthu and few others.PW-2 and PW-3 were then working in a nearby field.On hearing the alarm raised, they rushed towards the place of occurrence andwitnessed the entire occurrence.On seeing them, the accused criminallyintimidated them by brandishing sickle against them.Then, the accused fled awayfrom the scene of occurrence with the weapon.PW-2 and PW-3, forthwith, took PW-1 and the deceased to theGovernment Medical College Hospital at Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli District.PW-12, Dr.The deceasedtold him that on 29.03.2000, at 10.00 AM, in a field at Agaram, he was attackedby a known person with sickle.The deceased was, at that time, fully conscious.He noticed two injuries on his body as follows:-""(i) A cut injury measuring 15 x 3 cm-traverse- on the right side of theabdomen.(ii) A cut injury on the right upper arm measuring 15 x 4 x 3 cm exposingthe bone.""According to P.W.12, from out of the X-ray taken and on his own assessment, boththe injuries were grievous in nature.On the same day, at 11.10 AM, he examined PW-1, who told thatat 10.00 AM, on 29.03.2000, in a field at Agaram, she was attacked by a knownperson with sickle.A cut injury on the right arm above elbow measuring 2 X + cm.A cut injury measuring 5 cm X + X + cm at the right shoulder.A cut injury measuring 2 X 1 cm on the left arm.A swelling on the middle of left arm.""X-ray was taken on PW-1, which revealed that the injuries 1 and2 were grievous in nature.PW-1 and the deceased were admitted in the hospitalas inpatients.P.W.12 opined that the injuries on the deceased as well as on PW-1 would have been caused by a weapon, like sickle.He gave an intimation to thepolice as well as to the learned Judicial Magistrate in respect of the same.PW-17 was the then Judicial Magistrate No.6 at Tirunelveli.Onreceipt of the intimation from the Hospital Authorities, he proceeded to thehospital at 12.05 PM.One Dr.Ramakrishnan was attending on the deceased.Ramakrishnan opined that the deceased was conscious and was in a fit state ofmind to make dying declaration.On his own assessment and also based on theopinion of Dr.PW-16 was the then Sub - Inspector of Police, attached to the said PoliceStation.Since PW-16 could not write, as he had met with an accident,PW-15 reduced the same into writing.EX-P1 is the statement.On returning to thePolice Station, PW-16 registered a case in Crime No.65 of 2000 under Sections341, 302, 326 and 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code.PW-16 forwarded thestatement, EX-P1 and the First Information Report, EX-P24 to the jurisdictionalMagistrate.Then, he forwarded the accused to the Court for judicial remandand also produced the Material Objects before the Court.While so, at 06.00 AM, on 22.04.2000, the deceased died in thehospital.PW-19 was the then Inspector of Police, attached to the MurappanaduPolice Station.On receipt of the death intimation from the HospitalAuthorities, he altered the case into one under Section 302 of the Indian PenalCode.Then, he proceeded to the hospital and conducted inquest on the body ofthe deceased between 10.00 AM and 12.30 PM.Duringinquest, he again examined PW-1, PW-2 and few more witnesses and recorded theirstatements.Then, he forwarded the dead body for postmortem.K.Selvaraj, was an Assistant Professor, Forensic Medicine, TirunelveliMedical College Hospital, Tirunelveli.He found the followinginjuries:-""1.Partly healed vertically oblique cut injury with evidence of suturingon the right lateral abdomen, 16 X 5 CM entering into the abdominal cavity.Sutured vertically oblique cut injury on the back, outer aspect of andfront of right forearm, 15 cm below the right elbow, measuring 15 cm X 5 cm Xbone deep.On dissection: fracture of right radius with surrounding infection.Sutured incised wound in the front of abdomen in the middle withproline sutures.18 cm X 1 cm entering peritoneal cavity, through the lower partof the wound a loop of intestine seen protruding out.[end to end anastomosis ofthe intestine has been done] [surgical procedure].Durainage wounds on the right and left flanks of abdomen withcorrugated rubber drainage tubes in situ [surgical procedure].""He opined that the deceased would appear to have died of cutinjuries - abdomen and its complications.PW-19 collected the PostmortemCertificate and examined the doctor.Then, he made a request to the Court toforward the Material Objects for chemical examination.EX-P16 is the ChemicalAnalyst Report and EX-P17 is the Serology Report.As per EX-P16, there wasbloodstain found on the sickle [MO-1].Finally, on completing the investigation, PW-19 laid chargesheet against the accused.The Trial Court framed charges under Sections 341,302, 326 and 506(ii) of the Indian Penal Code.The accused pleaded innocence,and therefore, he was put on trial.During trial, on the side of theprosecution, as many as nineteen witnesses were examined and twenty eightdocuments were exhibited, besides, five Material Objects.Out of the said witnesses, PW-1 is the injured eye witness andPW-2 and PW-3 are the eye witnesses to the occurrence.They have vividly spokento about the entire occurrence.PW-6 has spoken to about the recovery of MO-1,sickle on the disclosure statement made by the accused.PW-12 has spoken to thefact that he admitted PW-1 and the deceased as inpatients in the hospital.PW-13has spoken to about the postmortem conducted by him and the cause of death.PW-15 and PW-16 have spoken to about the complaint made by the deceased and theregistration of the case.PW-17 has spoken to the fact that he recorded thedying declaration of the deceased.The others are the official witnesses.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accusedunder Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, he denied the same asfalse.However, he did not choose to examine any witness on his side nor toexhibit any document in his defence.Having considered all the above materials,the Trial Court found him guilty under all the charges, and accordingly,punished him.That is how, the appellant is now before this Court with thisCriminal Appeal.We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant and thelearned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State and also perused the recordscarefully.As we have already pointed out, PW-1 is an injured eye witness.Due to the attack made by the accused with sickle, she had suffered twofractures.According to the medical evidence, the said injuries were grievous innature.There is no controversy before this Court that PW-1 and the deceasedsustained injuries in the very same transaction.Therefore, the presence of PW-1, at the time of occurrence, cannot be doubted at all.Of course, they are inimical towards the accused.It is on this ground,the learned counsel for the appellant would contend that these two witnessescannot be believed at all, and their presence, at the time of occurrence, cannotbe true.But, we do not find any force in the said argument advanced by thelearned counsel for the appellant.PW-2 and PW-3 have stated that they wereworking in a nearby field at Aharam and on hearing the alarm raised, they rushedto the place of occurrence and witnessed the entire occurrence.Simply becausePW-2 and PW-3 are closely related to the deceased and enimical towards theaccused, their evidence cannot be rejected.In our considered view, theevidences of PW-2 and PW-3 deserve to be accepted.Immediately, after the occurrence, PW-2 and PW-3 took PW-1 andthe deceased to the hospital.On 29.03.2000, at 11.05 AM, when PW-12 examinedPW-1, she told that she was attacked by a known person at 10.00 AM, on29.03.2000 with sickle.The said statement duly corroborates the evidence of PW-This statement falls within the sweep ofSection 32(1) of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, as a dying declaration.Nextly, PW-17, the learned Judicial Magistrate, recorded thedying declaration of the deceased at 12.15 PM.One Dr.Ramakrishnan, who wasattending on the deceased, certified that the deceased was in a fit state ofmind to make dying declaration.It is the contention of the learned counsel forthe appellant that in the absence of the examination of Dr.The said argument of the learned counsel, in our consideredopinion, deserves only to be rejected, for the reason that PW-17 has stated thatnot only on the basis of the opinion offered by Dr.Ramakrishnan, but on his ownassessment, from the answers given by the deceased to the questions put by him,he was satisfied that the deceased was in a fit state of mind to make dyingdeclaration.At this juncture, we may point out that the opinion of the doctoris only a guiding factor to a Magistrate to arrive at a satisfaction regardingthe mental fitness of an injured person.Ultimately it is only the subjectivesatisfaction of the Magistrate about the mental fitness of the declarant thatmatters.In this case, PW-17 has categorically stated that from theopinion of the doctor and out of his own assessment, he was satisfied that thedeceased was in a fit state of mind to make dying declaration.In respect of thenon - examination of Dr.Ramakrishnan had gone abroad, and therefore, hispresence could not be secured.Thus, we hold that EX-P26, dying declaration,recorded by PW-17 does not carry any infirmity with it.Next comes the complaint given by the deceased to PW-15 and PW-16, at 12.25 PM.The deceased gave a statement orally to PW-16 and the same wasreduced into writing by PW-15, [vide EX-P1].This statement is yet another dyingdeclaration.In the said dying declaration also, the deceased had stated that hewas cut by the accused with sickle.There is no reason to doubt this dyingdeclaration as well.During the course of investigation, PW-18 recorded the statementof the deceased under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.In thesaid statement also, we find that the deceased said about the circumstancesleading to his cause of death.But, unfortunately, the prosecution has not proved the same in evidence.We apprehend that the prosecution was under the mistaken impression that thesaid statement recorded under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure isnot admissible in evidence, in view of the bar contained in Section 162 of theCode of Criminal Procedure.For a moment, the prosecution had failed to noticethe proviso to Section 162 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which makes itclear that a statement, falling within the ambit of Section 32 of the IndianEvidence Act, 1872, as a dying declaration, is admissible in evidence and thebar contained in Section 162 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is not applicableto such a dying declaration.From 29.03.2000 onwards, the deceased wasundergoing treatment in the hospital and he died at 06.00 AM, on 22.04.2000.Thus, he was in the hospital for 24 days as an inpatient, undergoing treatment.PW-13, who conducted autopsy on the body of the deceased, noticed as many asfour external injuries.Two of those injuries were surgical wounds.The injury found onthe abdomen was partly healed and the other injury found on the forearm was alsopartly healed.According to the doctor, the deathwas due to the cut injury to the abdomen and its complications.In other words,according to him, the death was due to infection and the injury to the abdomen.He underwenttreatment as in-patient.The deceased died after 16 days.Injury No. 1 was the fatal injury.The deceased died in the hospital after five days.We see from the injuries that they had been caused from a very closerange as tattooing was present.As stated above theoccurrence took place on November 18, 1988 and the deceased died 18 days lateron December 5, 1988 due to septicaemia and other complications.The Doctor foundonly one injury on the head and that was due to single blow inflicted with aniron pipe not with any sharp-edged weapon.1.The Additional Sessions Judge, [Fast Track Court No.I], Tuticorin.2.The

No.1261 of 20079. Dr.A.K. Mishra (PW-30) is a Senior Medical Officer and has examined Jirraua (PW-2).He has stated that Jirraua had received fracture on her right humerus, radius and ulna and has proved the X-ray reports (Ex.P/52, P/53 and P/54).Durgesh Rathore (PW-31) is the Investigating Officer, who has duly corroborated the evidence collected by him during the course of investigation.The defence set up by the accused persons is that the accused Umesh @ Chotani used to park his truck in the Harijan Basti by the side of the house of Guruprasad because there was no road so that the truck could be driven up to the house of Umesh @ Chotani and because of this reason when Umesh, Awdhesh and Baijnath were coming from the truck, at that time the people of Harijan Basti started running and Buddhsen, the deceased also ran into his house struck his head on the door frame and hence he got the head injuries and so far as other injured persons are concerned, they all caused injuries which were self-inflicted.11 Since none has appeared for the appellants, we have heard Shri K.S. Wadhwa, the learned Additional Advocate General with Shri Pradeep Gupta, the learned Panel Lawyer but we have carefully gone through the entire evidence on record and have come to the conclusion that the prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.So far as the nature of death of Buddhasen is concerned, the same was homicidal in nature as has been proved by Dr.Although, a suggestion has been given to him that the injury no.1 may be caused if the head is hit by the door but this suggestion is not given to any of the eye witnesses, especially, the PW/1 Radhiabai hence no importance can be attached to such suggestion.Thus, the death of Buddhsen was homicidal in nature.The presence of the appellants on the spot has been duly proved by the witnesses, most of whom were injured and the nature of their injuries is such that their presence on the spot 8 Cr.A. No.1261 of 2007 cannot be denied.The injuries caused by the appellants have also been duly corroborated by the medical evidence.It may be that the witnesses have not attributed each and every injury to any specific appellant but this only gives more credence to their story as the incident took place on 16.3.2006 whereas the commencement of the trial and the examination of witnesses took place from 2.9.2006 which is almost a period of around six months.8 Cr.A. No.1261 of 2007The learned Judge of the Trial court has rightly held that it is not a case where accused persons can be convicted under the provisions of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and has rightly acquitted the appellants from the offence under Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST Act.So far as the witnesses to seizure memos, namely, Kashi Prasad Kushwaha (PW-25) and Chhotelal (PW-27) are concerned, even if they have not supported the case of the prosecution and have been won over, in that case also, the injuries caused to as many as six witnesses and their depositions in the Court are sufficient to bring home the offence of murder and assault.It is pertinent to mention here that even the child witnesses have received injuries and it is rather preposterous to come up with such a defence that the injuries received by the witnesses were selfSo far as the injuries caused to deceased Buddusen are concerned, the explanation as offered by the accused persons that he struck his head on the frame of the door while running into his house is also ridiculous especially when the witnesses have not even been suggested that Buddhesen died due to the injury which he received while running into his house and that other injured witnesses have self-inflicted injuries.Thus, the defence advanced by the appellants is a clear afterthought and cannot be accepted.The FIR in the present case has been 9 Cr.A. No.1261 of 2007 lodged immediately wherein names of all the accused persons were mentioned.Thus it cannot be said that their names have been subsequently added after deliberation to falsely implicate them.The evidence of the material witnesses who were also injured, reveals that the appellants have actively participated in the commission of offence.The case of the prosecution that accused persons forcefully entered into the house of the deceased is also corroborated by Ex.9 Cr.A. No.1261 of 2007So far as the finding of the learned Trial Court regarding attempt to murder of witness Jirraua (PW-2) is concerned, the same cannot be sustained.The learned Judge in para 39 of the judgment has mentioned that the injuries caused to Jirarua (PW-2) were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, which is supported by the medical evidence.After perusing the medical evidence in this regard viz. the testimony of Dr. Achla Tripathi (PW-16) and Dr.V.N.Satnami (PW-26), it appears that none of the doctors have mentioned that the injuries were sufficient in ordinary course of nature to cause death.It appears that the learned Judge has arrived at such a conclusion on the basis of the fact that initially a dying declaration of Jirraua was recorded, which may have led the learned Trial Judge to form an opinion that the appellants are also liable to be convicted under Section 307 of IPC.In view of the aforesaid, the conviction of all the appellants under Section 307/149 of IPC awarded by the learned Trial Judge is set aside and in its place they are convicted under Section 326/149 of IPC as there are as many as three fractures caused to Jirraua (PW-2) and sentenced to suffer five years' rigorous imprisonment, which they have already undergone until now.So far as the conviction of appellants under Sections 148, 302/149, 323/149, 452, 427 and 506-B is concerned, as already discussed herein above, there is no error committed by the learned 10 Cr.A. No.1261 of 2007 Trial Court in convicting the appellants under aforesaid offences.10 Cr.A. No.1261 of 2007In the result, the appeal is partly allowed to the extent as indicated hereinabove.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 427 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Jameela a young muslim woman was found killed on18.9.1991 by Baiju, allegedly hired killer at Vattolikadavuroad after having received stab injuries.PW1, the elderbrother of the deceased lodged the First Information Reportin Police Station Ayyuampuzha without naming any person asaccused.At the time of her death, the deceased was inadvance stage of pregnancy.The lungi and shirt MOs 12 and 13respectively worn by him at the time of crime were seized asper Mahazar (P16).After recording his disclosure statementMO1, the weapon of offence was recovered from the busheswhere he had allegedly hidden it.Accused No.2 was alsoarrested in connection with the murder of Ms.is not known to the witness.Her deposition is mainlywith respect to the relationship of the deceased with theappellant.Jose (PW7) stated in the trial court that on thedate of occurrence at about 2.45 p.m., the appellant hadcalled him.He told him to come after some time.He wentthere and talked to the appellant, George (PW8) and Mohanan(PW10).He saw Jameela, deceased getting down from the busat about 2.30 p.m. She had gone to the house of her sisterAmina (PW9).Jameela afterthree days of the occurrence.Upon trial both the accusedwere found guilty of the offences punishable under Sections120B and 302 besides Section 109 of the Indian Penal Code.They were sentenced to undergo life imprisonment.Theappellant was also imposed a fine of Rs.10,000/- and in caseof default, directed to under rigorous imprisonment for twoyears.Aggrieved by the judgment of the Sessions Court,both the accused persons filed appeal before the High Courtwhich was dismissed on 1.4.1997 vide the judgment impugnedin this appeal.This Court on 14.7.1998 dismissed the SLPin so far as it related to Accused No.1, namely, Biju andgranted leave only with respect to the appellant Saju.Thecase of the prosecution is that Jameela, a young unmarriedwoman of 24 years of age had developed illicit relationswith the appellant, with the result that she becamepregnant.She insisted that the appellant should marry herbut her request was declined on the ground that the marriagewas not possible because Jameela and the appellant belongedto different religions.The appellant is stated to havequarreled with the deceased for which Jameela filed acomplaint against him at Police Station Ayyuampuzha.Jameela did not accede to the advise of the appellant tohave abortion.On the date of occurrence she is stated tohave gone to the hospital at about 11 a.m. for a check upand on her way back she visited her sister Amina (PW9) atabout 2.30 p.m. After she left the residence of her sistershe was fatally stabbed by Accused No.1, Biju who hadfollowed her from the bus stop where she had alighted fromthe bus.After inflicting the stab injuries the saidaccused left the place of occurrence.The offence wasalleged to have been committed by Accused No.1 in conspiracywith Accused No.2 who wanted to get rid of the deceased.Admittedly there is no eye-witness in the case which theprosecution has sought to prove by leading circumstantialevidence.(2) Jameela requested 2nd accused to marry her andthat was turned down by second accused because they belongedto different religions.(3) When the close relatives of Jameela persuadedsecond accused to marry Jameela since she became pregnantthrough him, second accused proclaimed that she would notallow Jameela to deliver the child.Second accusedmanhandled Jameela in connection with this dispute and thatwas seen by her neighbours and there was also involvement ofthe police.(4) The conduct of the accused on the fateful day(both accused were seen together on the date of occurrenceby several persons and from PW.11's tea shop they hadtaken food.(7) Recovery of MO1 as a result of information givenby first accused from the bushes where it was hidden andvery near to the place of occurrence.(8) Recovery of MO 25 footwears (Hawai Chappals) fromthe place of occurrence and identified as similar to the onepurchased by first accused from the shop of PW 14 few daysprior to the date of occurrence.(9) Immediately after the incident the accused wereabsconding and arrest of first accused on 19.9.1991 by PW 22from the place he was hiding.""According to the prosecution the injuries found on theperson of the deceased were caused by Accused No.1, Bijuwith the weapon of offence seized in the case at hisinstance consequent upon his disclosure statement.Hisconviction and sentence has already been upheld by thisCourt while dismissing the SLP filed by him.The appellanthas been found guilty and convicted of offences underSection 302 read with Section 120B and Section 119 of theIPC.Some conversation is also stated to have takenplace between the accused persons, the contents of which areneither disclosed nor suggested.Accused No.1 alone wasfound to have boarded the bus in which the deceased wastravelling and alighted from it along with her.Regardingthe circumstance relating to the existence of motive, PW9who is the sister of the Ms.Jameela deposed that thedeceased had told her that the pregnancy conceived by herwas through the appellant.According to her the appellantadmitted the paternity of conceived child in the initialstage but denied the paternity attributed to him six monthsthereafter.The trial court found that ""in the answerselicited in the further cross-examination also it wouldappear that her version about the first source of knowledgeabout the pregnancy of Jameela was inconsistent andunnatural"".Dealing with her statement, the trial courtobserved that PW9 had no occasion to meet Jameela as she wasnot visiting her mother's house and also because the secondaccused had consented for the marriage.What the witness stated was only thatJameela and the appellant were in love and they knew eachother for a period of two years before the death of Jameela.According to her the marriage between the deceased and theappellant could not be solemnised as they belonged todifferent religions.She never saw the deceased and theappellant talking as according to her they used to talk onlyin her absence.The appellant is stated to have visited thehouse of the aforesaid witness on 15.5.1991 and assaultedthe deceased regarding which report Exhibit P-4 was lodged.According to her Jameela was killed while returning from thehospital where she had gone for a check up.Nowhere in hertestimony Nabeesa (PW6) stated that the appellant wanted thechild, conceived by Jameela, to be aborted.There is nopositive evidence proving or suggesting that the appellantwas responsible for the pregnancy of the deceased.In theabsence of evidence regarding the circumstance attributingthe pregnancy of the deceased to the appellant and hisinsistence for abortion of the child, the importantcircumstance of motive cannot be held to have been proved.PW2 who is the neighbour of the deceased statedthat she had known about the pregnancy from Jameela herself.According to her the appellant had quarreled with Jameela inconnection with the pregnancy.Despite denial of theappellant Jameela was stated to have asserted that she didnot have sexual intercourse with anyone other than theappellant.In her cross-examination the witnesses statedthat the appellant never threatened Jameela.She admittedthat the appellant had apparently told Jameela that he wasnot the father of the child in her womb.The witnessconceded that she had no direct knowledge about therelationship of the deceased with the appellant.PW3 who isa neighbour and husband of PW2 was declared hostile as hedid not support the case of the prosecution.It was deposedby him that he was not aware that Jameela had requested theappellant to marry her.It is true that a number of witnesses havedeposed that they had seen both the accused together on thedate of occurrence but it is equally true that such meetingwas not unusual as admittedly they were working together inthe plantation.Mere meeting would by itself not besufficient to infer the existence of a criminal conspiracy.There is no suggestion, much less legal evidence to theeffect that both the accused were so intimate which wouldhave compelled Accused No.1 to agree to be a conspirator forthe killing of the deceased at the instance of theappellant.To a specific question as to whether he hadseen any other person going through the road towards theside where Accused No.1 had gone, the witness emphaticallyreplied in the negative.Davis (PW5) stated that on thedate of occurrence he had seen Accused No.1 at about 2oclock in the afternoon.In reply to a question as towhether he had seen anyone-else going through the road whileAccused No.2 was talking to PW4, the witness replied ""I havenot noticed"".Nabeesa (PW6) who is the mother of thedeceased has stated that on the date of occurrence both theaccused were sitting near her house on some timber logs atabout 2 p.m. but at 2.45 p.m. she saw only Accused No.1washing his knife near the stream which is on the southernside of her house.What happened between 2.00 p.m. to 2.45p.m.He did not see Accused No.1 with Accused No.2.He saw only the appellant, PW8, PW10 and some other people.George PW8 stated that he saw appellant on the date ofoccurrence at about 2.30 p.m. at the gate of his house.Both the witness and the appellant had conversation on thesteps of the house of the witness.Appellant was there forabout half an hour.This statement of PW8 belies theaverments of other witnesses that the appellant committedthe crime in conspiracy with Accused No.1 at about 2.45 p.m.Amina (PW9), the sister of the deceeased stated that she hadseen both the accused together sitting on the timber lognear the road.She did not see appellant accompanying theaccused No.1 thereafter.Devasi (PW11) Stated that on theday of occurrence both the accused had come to his shop atabout 1 p.m. and each had one plate tapioca and meat.Meharban (PW18) stated ""I saw Accused No.2 at 2.30 p.m. atthe timber log.I saw A-2calling PW-7 Jose.Then I saw he was talking with PW-8George.That was about 2.45 in the afternoon.I saw A-1following Jameela when she alighted the bus.Then I saw A-1swiftly walking from eastern side to western side"".Thisstatement of the prosecution witness does not suggest, evenby implication that both the accused were together on theday of occurrence.The statement of the witnesses noticedhereinabove may probabilise the presence of both the accusedtogether but does not prove beyond doubt that they weretogether near the road at the place of occurrence on thefateful day.Assuming they were together, would notnecessarily lead to the conclusion that they had met infurtherance of the conspiracy to murder the deceased.No fact orcircumstance with respect to the abetment attracting theapplicability of Section 109 IPF has been brought to ournotice.To prove the charge of abetment, the prosecution isrequired to prove that the abettor had instigated for thedoing of a particular thing or engaged with one or moreother person or persons in any conspiracy for the doing ofthat thing or intentionally aided by an act of illegalomission, doing of that thing.The prosecution miserablyfailed to prove the existence of any of the ingredients ofSection 107 IPC.","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code',

Arumugaperumal Adityan, J.A.Romond, the Superintendent of Central Excise Department(Preventive Unit).Ex P3 is the statement of A2 and as per the bills Exs P6 and P7 produced by the accused, the value of the goods manufactured by the accused for the year 1980-81 comes to Rs.36,99,661/62ps and that they are liable to pay the Central Excise duty to the tune of Rs.55,972/93ps.As per Ex P6,P8 and P9

Department has also levied a fine of Rs.1,00,000/- to the accused for the violation of Section 9(2) Rule with 10 and 7A of the Act.On the above evidences, when incriminating circumstances under Section 313 Cr.P.C. were put to the accused, they would deny their complicity with the crime.The learned trial Judge, after going through the evidence both oral and documentary let in before him, has come to a conclusion that the guilt against the accused has been proved beyond any reasonable doubt and accordingly convicted the accused under Central Excise Rules 174 Rule with Section 9(1)(a)(2) and also under Section 9(1) Rule with 9(1)(b)(2)of the Act and under Rule 173-F Rule with Section 9(1)(b)(ii) and Rule 173-B Rule with Section 9(1)(bb)(ii), Rule 173C Rule with Section 9(1)(bb)(ii),Rule 173G Rule with Section 9(1)(bb)(ii) and sentenced to imprisonment till the rising of the Court and also slapped a fine of Rs.500/- under each count with default sentence in all the above said Calendar cases.The learned first appellate Judge, after meticulously scanning the evidence let in before the trial Court and also after due deliberation to the arguments advanced by the learned Special Public Prosecutor and the learned Counsel appearing for the appellants has held that there was no evidence let in by the prosecution to show that the goods manufactured by the accused exceeded the limit prescribed under the Act and that the trial Court without giving due consideration for the Notification Nos.118/75 issued under Rule 8(1) of the Central Excise Rules, 1944, the Central Government in the Ministry of Finance(DR &T) which has exempted goods falling under Item No.68 of the First Schedule to the Central Excise and Salt Act 1944(1 of 1944) and also the Notification No.119/75 dated 30.4.1975 issued by the Central Government in the Ministry of Finance wherein as per Rule 8(1) of the Central Excises Rules,1944,the Central Govoernment hereby exempted the goods falling under Item No.68 of the First Schedule to the Central Excises and Salt Act 1944(1 of 1944), manufactured in a factory as a job work from levy of excise duty and has held that the accused were not liable under the charge levelled against them and accordingly acquitted both the accused thereby allowing the appeal and setting aside the findings of the learned trial Judge.Aggrieved by the findings of the learned Principal Sessions Judge in C.A.Nos.20 to 23 of 1992, the Central Excise Department/complainant has preferred this appeal.Now the point for consideration in this appeal is whether the findings of the learned Principal Sessions Judge in C.A.Nos.20 to 23 of 1992 is liable to be set aside for the reasons stated in the memorandum of appeal?The Point:Even according to the evidence of P.W.1, the raw materials for the manufacture and fabrication of steel goods to the accused were supplied by various companies like BHEL, Trichy, Ashok Leyland, Welmen Incondacent India Limited, South India Carbonic Gas India Limited, S.F.India Limited, Industrial Engineerings India Private Limited alias Foundary Limited, Hack Prestige Heavich Easan Limited.The learned first appellate Judge has allowed the appeal only on the ground that as per Notification No.119/75 -CE, dated 30.4.1975 issued by the Central Excise, Ministry of Finance, the accused are liable to be exempted from the Central Excise duty.The learned Special Public Prosecutor for Central Excise cases would contend before this Court that Notification No 119/75 came into force only in the year 1985 and hence the accused are not entitled to take shelter under the benefits conferred in the above notification.This contention of the learned Special Public Prosecutor cannot be upheld because absolutely there is no pleadings in the grounds of appeal to the effect that the Notification No.119/75 dated 30.4.1975 came into force only in the year 1985 and that the benefits conferred under the above said notification cannot be extended or availed by the accused.It is pertinent to note here that even before the learned Sessions Judge, Chennai in the first appeal, the said defence was not taken by the learned Special Public Prosecutor, who had argued the appeal.If the Notification 119/75 dated 30.4.1975 would apply to the accused then the entire charge levelled against them will go, as correctly held by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Chennai.It is pertinent to note that the accused had already undergone the imprisonment till rising of the Court as ordered by the learned trial Judge.Under such circumstances, I do not find any reason to interfere with the well considered order of the learned Principal Sessions Judge in C.A.Nos.20 to 23 of 1992 which is neither illegal nor infirm.Point is answered accordingly.In the result, the appeal fails and the same is hereby dismissed confirming the judgment dated 25.9.1996 passed in C.A.Nos 20 to 23 of 1992 on the file of the Principal Sessions Judge,Madras.The learned Special Public Prosecutor for Central Excise cases would submit that the observation made in this Judgment shall not affect the departmental proceedings pending against the accused before the appellate authority against the order passed by the Collector of Central Excise Department.The submission made by the learned Special Public Prosecutor has got force and it is made clear that the observations made in this Judgment shall not have any impact on the Departmental proceedings pending before the appellate authority.A. No. 475/1997Vii) When incriminating circumstances were put to the accused under Section 313 of Cr.P.C, they pleaded innocence.On the basis of the available evidence both oral and documentary, the learned Additional Session Judge(FCT.I), Erode has come to a conclusion that A1 to A3 are liable to be convicted under Section 341 and 302 Rule with 34 IPC and conbsequently convicted and sentenced them to undergo one month simple imprisonment under Section 341 IPC each and sentenced under Section 302 Rule with 34 IPC to undergo life imprisonment each of the accused.Aggrieved by the findings of the learned Additional Sessions Judge,(FTC.I), Erode, the accused have preferred this Appeal.The Inspector of Police, Kodumudi Police Station filed M.P.1439/2000 before the Judicial Magistrate, Kodumudi under Section 173(8) of Cr.P.C for permitting to conduct further investigation in Cr.No.77/2000 (complaint preferred by P.W.1) on the file of Kodumudi Police Station and the said petition was allowed and on that basis, P.W.16 has conducted further investigation and filed fresh charge sheet-Ex.P.30 only against A1-Sengottaiyan, A2-Muthayee Ammal and A3-Kolandaisamy Gounder.The charge sheet was dropped against the accused Palanisamy and Ramalingam on the ground that they were not present at the time and place of occurrence.Ex.P.29, petition of the Inspector of Police under Section 173(8), contains the report of the Additional Director of CB-CID, as per the report of the Additional Director of CB-CID, on the date of occurrence i.e., on 8.3.2000, A3-Kolandaisamy Gounder and his wife Muthayee Ammal(A2) and their son Sengottaiyan(A1) were drying the turmeric in the disputed place without heeding to the words of the deceased-Sathasivam and since the deceased-Sathasivam had objected the accused, for drying turmeric in the disputed place, all the three accused had attacked him, which resulted in the death of Sathasivam in the hospital and the complaint was preferred by the brother of the deceased-Sathasivam after consulting the advocates and after implicating Palanisamy Gounder and his son Ramalingam as accused, the murder case was registered against the above said five accused.It has been further stated in the report that on investigation it was brought to light that on the date of occurrence at the time of occurrence the accused Palanisamy and his son Ramalingam were not present at the scene of occurrence, but they were working in the turmeric field some four kilometers away from the place of occurrence and they retuned only at 6.30 p.m. on the date of occurrence to their house.The above said report was also filed along with Ex.P.29 by P.W.16, which cuts at the root of the prosecution case for the following reasons:i) According to P.W.1 to 3 the place of occurrence is the rice mill belonging to A1 and at the time of occurrence A1 had assaulted the deceased-Sathasivam with knife and the accused Palanisamy and accused Ramalingam (Who have been dropped subsequently in the re-investigation from the charge sheet) also attacked the deceased-Sathasivam with wooden stick on the head and chest of the deceased respectively and A2 had assaulted Sathasivam with a wooden stick and Palanisamy and Ramalingam kicked Sathasivam on the flanks.According to P.W.1 the accused had way laid Sathasivam and dragged him into the rice mill belonging to A1 and assaulted him.P.W.2 and 3 have also deposed to the fact that all the accused along with the accused Palanisamy and the accused Ramalingam assaulted the deceased-Sathasivam. P.W.3 has also corroborated that A1 to A3 along with Palanisamy and Ramalingam have assaulted the deceased-Sathasivam.According to P.W.3, the motive for the occurrence was that there was some enmity prevailing between Palanisamy and Ramalingam on one hand and the accused on the other in respect of a ditch and the motive for the occurrence against A2 & A3 and the deceased-Sathasivam was in respect of 5 cents of lands.In the cross-examination, P.W.3 would depose that about 25 cents of land belong to one Kolandaivel Samboornam, who had appointed the deceased-Sathasivam as his power of agent, already had executed the entire 25 cents in favour of A3, but P.W.3 has purchased 5 cents in the same survey number in the above said 25 cents of land from the power of attorney agent deceased-Sathasivam and there was a civil dispute pending before the civil court at Kodumudi.P.2-sale deed will go to show that the deceased-Sathasivam had executed the sale deed as a power of attorney for Sambooranam in favour of P.W.3-Palanisamy, in respect of 5 cents in survey No.542/16 of Kulathupalayam village.According to P.W.1, the entire 25 cents in the said survey number property was purchased by A1 and had constructed a rice mill thereon, but through the deceased-Sathasivam as power of attorney for Sambooranam, another sale deed in favour of P.W.3 was executed for 5 cents.As per Ex.P.29, as per the investigation of CB-CID both the erstwhile accused Palanisamy and Ramalingam were not present at the place of occurrence, that is why, they have been dropped in the charge sheet filed after reinvestigation under Section 173(8) of Cr.P.C. On the other hand, P.W.1 to 3, the eye witnesses, would depose that the said Palanisamy and Ramalingam also assaulted the deceased/Sathasivam at the place of occurrence.So the evidence of P.W.1 to 3 cannot be believed at all.ii) As per the evidence of P.W.9, the Doctor, who had deposed on behalf of Doctor Vijayakumar, who had conducted autopsy, there were three cut injuries on the head to bone deep, and stab injury behind the left ear and a contusion on the right fore head and another contusion on the left fore head and an aberration on the left forearm and left thigh.In the cross-examination, the Doctor-P.W.9, who had admitted and treated the deceased/Sathasivam at about 12.30 p.m. On 8.3.2000 at C.K.Hospial Erode, has deposed that Sathasivam had expired due to massive heart attack.But, P.W.11-Doctor, who had issued Postmortem certificate-Ex.P.22, would depose that the deceased-Sathasivam would have died due to the injuries he had sustained on the head.So, with regard to the cause of death also there is a discrepancy between the evidence of P.W.9-Dr.S.K.Krishnan and P.W.11-Dr.iii) Yet another point to be noted is the fracture of occipital bone on the skull seen as per Ex.P.22-Postmortem report.According to P.W.1 to 3, the other two accused viz. Palanisamy and Ramalingam were also assaulted with wooden stick on the head of the deceased/Sathasivam.But according to the prosecution, the said Palanisamy and Ramalingam, who were previously shown as accused in the charge sheet before re-investigation were not at all present at the place of occurrence at the time of occurrence.Under such circumstances, we cannot give any credit to the evidence of P.W.1 to 3 to arrive at a conclusion that the occurrence had occurred in the manner as alleged by them.iv) The next point to be noted is that A3 also sustained injury and according to P.W.16-Investigation Officer, a case under Cr.No.78/2000 of Kodumudi Police Station was registered on the complaint made by A3 and Ex.But, without investigating the same, the said First Information Report was closed as mistake of fact.Further the occurrence had taken place at 11.00 am on 8.3.2000, but P.W.1 has preferred Ex.P.1-complaint only at 6.00 p.m. After having deliberations with P.W.4 and that other advocates.The preponderance of possibilities seems to indicate that not only Palanisamy and Ramalingam were falsely implicated in this case earlier, but also the present accused 1 to 3 have been falsely implicated.There is no overtact attributed against A3, whereas the overtact attributed against A2 is that she had assaulted the deceased-Sathasivam with a wooden stick on the hands. P.W.3 in his evidence has stated that A2 had assaulted with a wooden stick on the left hand of Sathasivam.But, P.W.16, the Investigation Officer, has stated in his evidence that he had not seen any bleeding injury on the left hand of the deceased-Sathasivam.The delay in preferring the First Information Report, the non-explanation of the injuries sustained by A3 and the implication of Palanisamy and Ramalingam falsely into the crime will cast cloud on the investigation of the prosecution case and the benefit of doubt shall go to the accused.We are of the constrained opinion that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove the guilt of the accused under Section 341 and 302 Rule with 34 IPC beyond any reasonable doubt.In the result, the appeal is allowed and the conviction and sentence passed against the appellants herein-A1 to A3 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge,(FTC-I), Erode in S.C.No.174/2001 is hereby set aside and the appellants herein/A1 to A3 are acquitted from the charges levelled against them.","['Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The prosecution's case, in short, is that on 27.9.1998 at about 9.00 a.m a quarrel took place between the deceased and the appellants.The appellants assaulted the deceased by fists.The deceased tried to move for some steps and thereafter, he fell 2 Criminal Appeal No.451 of 1999 down.The deceased was taken to the Police Station and thereafter to the hospital but, before he could reach the hospital he expired.A panchayatnama lash Ex.P/1 was prepared and thereafter, the dead body of the deceased was sent for post mortem.(Delivered on the 17th day of October, 2012) The appellants have preferred this appeal against the judgment dated 12.2.1999 passed by the IInd Additional Sessions Judge, East Nimar Khandwa in ST.No.203/1998 whereby the appellants were convicted for offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C and sentenced for three years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.250/ and in default of payment of fine six months rigorous imprisonment was also directed.Dr. A N. Bajpai (PW5) did the post mortem upon the body of the deceased and gave his report Ex.He found no external injury visible on the body of the deceased but, on opening he found that the spleen of the deceased was ruptured from its base and huge blood was present in the concerned cavity.The deceased died due to rupture of the spleen.After due investigation a charge sheet was filed before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khandwa who committed the case to the Sessions Court and ultimately it was transferred to the IInd Additional Sessions Judge, Khandwa.The appellants abjured their guilt.They took a specific plea that the deceased was the husband of their sister who was suffering from malaria since last 10-15 days.He was in habit to drink and then to assault his wife and therefore, he could have sustained that injury due to fall.However, no defence evidence was given by the appellants.The learned Additional Sessions Judge after considering the evidence adduced by the prosecution acquitted the accused Jamila Bi from all the charges whereas the appellants were acquitted from the charge of offence punishable under Section 302 of I.P.C but, convicted for offence punishable under Section 3 Criminal Appeal No.451 of 1999 325 of I.P.C and sentenced as mentioned above.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties.Learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that it is very much clear that from the evidence that the appellants did not use any weapon in assaulting their brother-in-law.9. Akram (PW1) and Imran (PW2) were examined as eye witnesses.They have stated that the appellants assaulted the deceased by fists.It is clear that no M.L.C was done by any doctor and after the death of the deceased the post mortem could be done by Dr. A. N. Bajpai (PW5).However, Dr. Bajpai has stated that no external injury was visible to the deceased.The witnesses were relatives of the deceased as well as the appellants.The appellants were also the relative of the deceased and therefore, it cannot be said that the witnesses have submitted falsely against the appellants.It was not possible for the witnesses to save the actual culprits and to tell against the appellants whereas the appellants were the relatives of those witnesses.It is true that no FIR could be lodged by any of the witnesses and only a merg intimation was recorded by the Police and investigation was initiated.Therefore, registration of the case was done by FIR Ex.P/9 which was registered after due inquest and therefore, the document Ex.P/9 cannot be considered as an FIR.But the eye witnesses did not prove that such blow was given by the appellants.Under such circumstances, if a fist was given in the abdomen then spleen could be ruptured if it was enlarged.The learned Sessions Judge found that the appellants were not intended to kill the deceased.Neither they assaulted in such a manner so that the deceased could die in natural course of 6 Criminal Appeal No.451 of 1999 his life and therefore, since due to their assault a fatal injury was caused which was covered as a grievous injury under section 320(8) of the I.P.C and therefore, the appellants were convicted for offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C. However, the appellants did not know that the spleen of the deceased was enlarged and therefore, it is not established that they intended to cause a grave injury to the victim.Secondly for offence punishable under section 325 of I.P.C it is to be established that who was the culprit who had an intention to cause a grievous injury to the victim and he should be convicted for offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C and thereafter, common intention of another accused is to be considered.In the present case it is no where established by the eye witnesses that out of the appellants who assaulted the victim on his spleen.No intention against any of the appellants was established that they aimed to assault the victim on his spleen Under such circumstances, their intention was not present for causing grievous injury to the deceased and therefore, their common intention for offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C cannot be presumed.If the common intention of each of the appellants was not present for causing a grave injury to the deceased then none of the appellants can be convicted for offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C with the help of Section 34 of I.P.C. It is not proved against anyone of the appellants that they assaulted the deceased on his spleen and it is also not 7 Criminal Appeal No.451 of 1999 proved that they had any common intention to cause grievous injury to the deceased because the deceased was the brother-in- law of the appellants.It is unfortunate that due to that assault the spleen of the deceased was ruptured and he died.The appellants remained in the custody for more than three months and therefore looking to their overt act and also the fact that they have faced the trial and appeal for last 14 years, it is a fit case in which they should not be sent to the jail again.However, some fine may be imposed upon them.Criminal Appeal No.451 of 1999On the basis of the aforesaid discussion the appeal filed by the appellants appears to be acceptable partly.Consequently, the appeal filed by the appellants is hereby partly allowed.The conviction as well as the sentence directed by the trial Court for offence punishable under Section 325 of I.P.C is hereby set aside.They are acquitted from that offence.However, they are convicted for offence punishable under Section 323 of I.P.C and sentenced with the rigorous imprisonment for the period which they have already under gone in the custody.Also fine of Rs.1000/- is imposed upon each of the appellants for the offence punishable under Section 323 of I.P.C The appellants are directed to deposit the remaining fine amount before the trial Court within two months from today.In default of payment of fine each oft them shall undergo for three months rigorous imprisonment.The appellants are on bail.Copy of the judgment be sent to the trial Court along with its record for information and compliance.(N.K.GUPTA) JUDGE 17.10.2012 bina 9 Criminal Appeal No.451 of 1999","['Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 320 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

There is also nothing to show that the said firms had obtained any warranty from M/s Shriniwas Fertilizers Ltd. or that the goods were kept intact in the same condition in which they were purchased.Procedure for taking sample had been laid down in Schedule-II of the Fertilizer Control Order, 1985 and the provisions are mandatory.Nothing has been shown that the procedure was actually followed.Unless it is specifically alleged that the petitioner was the owner he could not be proceeded with under the Essential Commodities Act. There could not be a joint trial under the provisions of Essential Commodities Act of the alleged manufacturer or vendor or distributor.They can only be tried if allegations are made that they have connecting links between them so as to constitute the same transaction.Learned counsel for the petitioner argued at length that the revision petition lies.In support of his contentions he placed reliance upon certain authorities.The Judicial Magistrate, Karnal, accepted the final report and set the appellants at liberty.The complainant preferred a revision petition before the Additional Sessions Judge, Karnal against the order of the Judicial Magistrate which was dismissed.The informant thereafter filed a complaint before the Judicial Magistrate against the 11 accused persons including the appellants.After examining the complaint and going through the record learned Judicial Magistrate dismissed the complaint as he was satisfied that no case was made out against the appellants.Again a revision was preferred and it was allowed and the case was remanded for further enquiry.The learned Judicial Magistrate thereafter issued summons to the appellants straightway.The appellants then moved before High Court Under Section 482 and Section 397 of the 1973 Code for quashing the order of the Judicial Magistrate.The statements had been published in newspapers.The Chief Secretary to the Government of Maharashtra was examined as a witness in the Court of Sessions to prove the sanction order.An application was moved by the appellant before learned Sessions Judge for rejecting the complaint on the ground that the Court had no jurisdiction to entertain the complaint.The appellant raised three contentions before the learned Sessions Judge regarding the legality of the trial and all the contentions were rejected by learned Sessions Judge.He framed a charge against the appellant Under Section 500 of Penal Code.A revision petition was filed before the High Court challenging the order of the Sessions Judge.A preliminary objection was raised about the maintainability of the revision petition which was upheld.Aggrieved party approached the Apex Court.The revision application challenging an order framing charge was maintainable.",['Section 500 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"On 3.10.1987 Indel and Basanta took Jagdish and his driver Pappu alongwith the said tractor, but on 13.10.1987 when Jagdish did not return back, then his brother Ramesh (PW-2) searched for him at Gohad and other places and thereafter lodged a report at police Station, Madhoganj.In this report, it is mentioned that accused Indel Singh has been caught by police Station, Malpura, Distt.Agra (UP) and his brother Jagdish alongwith driver Pappu had gone with him for cultivation and they have not returned, therefore, he has an apprehension that Indel and Basanta have committed some offence with his brother giving details of the clothes which were worn by Jagdish and Guddu at the time of leaving their 3 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 home.During investigation, it is revealed that Jagdish and Guddu were taken by Indel and Basanta with a view to kill them and Indel and Basanta in criminal conspiracy with Rambabu and Babukhan looted tractor from Jagdish and Guddu inasmuch as said tractor was recovered by police Station, Malpura, Distt.These hairs could be a vital link to ascertain the identity of the deceased.They were also not produced before the Court.Another link which has not been carefully examined by the learned Additional Sessions Judge is the evidence of Laxmibai (PW-3) who has admitted in para 12 of her cross- examination that the day Agra police had visited, on the same day skeletons of her husband and Guddu alongwith clothes were recovered by them from Kanipura close to Gohad.This admission of Laxmibai makes the whole prosecution story and recovery on 22.10.87 vide Ex.P/6, Ex.P/7, Ex.P/8, Ex.P/9, Ex.P/10 and Naksha Pachayatnama Ex.P/5 and Ex.P/11 doubtful as none of them have been prepared by Agra police but have been prepared by Mahoganj police leaving a void in 22 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 the chain of circumstances.Another missing link in the chain of circumstances is lodging of missing person report by Ramesh (PW-2) after admitting this fact that Agra police had visited him and his sister-in-law Laxmibai on 13.10.87 alongwith Indel and informed him about confession of Indel that he has killed his brother and driver and thrown the remnant in a canal at Dang Birkhari, yet missing person report was lodged and not a report of murder in the hands of Indel.(Delivered on this 24th day of July, 2019) Per Justice Vivek Agarwal :This appeal has been filed by appellant Indel Singh @ Udai Singh son of Badam Singh being aggrieved by judgment dated 28.7.2000 passed by the Fourth Additional Sessions Judge, Gwalior, in Sessions Trial No.117/88, whereby appellant has been convicted under Sections 120-B, 302 and 394 of IPC and sentenced to five years RI with fine of Rs.1,000/-, life imprisonment with fine of Rs.3,000/- and ten years RI with fine of Rs.2,000/- respectively.The appellant was charged for committing murder of 2 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 Jagdish and Guddu with a view to loot their tractor alongwith co-accused Basanta and Rambabu.Co-accused Babu Khan, who was tried alongwith the appellant, was charged under Section 411 of IPC for receiving the looted property knowingly.Prosecution story, in short, is that on 3.10.1987 Indel alongwith co-accused Basanta visited Jagdish asking him to cultivate his fields with his tractor and cultivator as Jagdish was having a tractor bearing registration No.MP W 4653 which he was using to cultivate fields of different persons on remuneration.Agra from Indel Singh and Babu Khan, as a result of which initially case was registered under Section 364, 392 and 120-B of IPC at Crime No.441/87 by police Station, Madhoganj, on 16.10.1987, as is evident from FIR, Ex.It has also come on record that in the memorandum Ex.P/1 recorded under Section 27 of the Evidence Act, Indel Singh has admitted committing such crime.It is also a matter of record that Babu Khan has been acquitted of the charges under Section 411 of IPC on the ground that in prosecution evidence there is no material to show that Babu Khan had either purchased tractor bearing registration No. MP W 4653 or any part of such tractor.From the record, it is also evident that police has not taken any steps to either arrest Basanta and Rambabu.After preparing a Farari Panchnama on 27.10.87, 4 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 no steps were taken to declare them absconding inasmuch as no proceedings were undertaken under Section 82 of Cr.P.C.Learned counsel for the appellant submits that this is purely a case of circumstantial evidence based on the doctrine of last seen and recovery of clothes of the deceased plus broken pieces of the bone and an axe at the instance of Indel Singh.It is submitted that Laxmi Bai (P.W.3) is the widow of deceased Jagdish, who has identified the clothes of the deceased and is a witness of T.I.P., but there are several loopholes in such identification and TIP rendering them inadmissible, and therefore, it is apparent that theory of last seen too has been developed subsequently so to falsely implicate present appellant Indel Singh.It is also submitted that in case diary statement (Ex.D/2), Ramesh Kumar (P.W.2) has categorically admitted that his brother Jagdish was knowing Basanta and Indel Singh from a previous date inasmuch as Babulal Sharma resident of Girwai had recommended that Basanta is his relative and shall not commit any dishonesty in paying the money for cultivation.It is also submitted that this Babulal Sharma has not been examined by the prosecution though he is an important witness on whose recommendation tractor was sent for cultivation as he had 5 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 made a recommendation in favour of Basanta.It is also submitted that though Babulal Sharma son of Jagannath Prasad has been cited as a witness by the prosecution, but he was not examined before the Court and such non-examination of an important prosecution witness is fatal to the prosecution story.Agra Police reached their home on 13.10.1987 alongwith Indel Singh and asked them as to the name of their brother and his whereabouts.His sister-in-law Laxmi Bai (P.W.3) also identified Indel Singh and Agra Police had informed them that Indel Singh was caught selling his tractor and further informed that as per the statements of Indel Singh he killed his brother and driver and had thrown their dead-bodies in a canal at Dang Birkhari.It is submitted that this witness has also deposed that he visited Dang Birkhari canal alongwith Agra Police accompanied with his neighbour Thakur Singh, but on investigation, it was revealed that no such incident had taken place in that locality, then Agra Police had taken back Indel Singh.It is also pointed out that thereafter Ramesh (P.W.2) 6 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 lodged missing person report at Police Station Madhoganj.It is submitted that when Agra Police had already informed him about killing of his brother and driver, then there was no occasion for lodging a missing person report with Madhoganj Police after his meeting with Agra Police and Indel Singh.It is also submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that Ramesh (P.W.2) in para 13 of his cross-examination has admitted that Agra Police had interrogated him and obtained his signatures on certain documentation which was carried out by Agra Police both at his residence and at Agra and thereafter, tractor was handed over to him in his custody, but also admitted that such tractor was not registered in his name and further admitted in para 13 of his cross-examination itself that tractor is not available on the date of giving statement.It is further submitted that this witness in para 17 has admitted that when he visited Madhoganj Police Station he was knowing that his brother is dead.Reading such evidence of Ramesh (P.W.2), it is submitted that when tractor was not registered in the name of Ramesh, then it could not have been given in custody to this witness.Secondly, if tractor was obtained by Ramesh (P.W.2) on Supurdiginama, then he was required to preserve such tractor as it was a vital piece of 7 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 evidence in the chain of evidence, specially in a case based on circumstantial evidence.It is also submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that Ramesh (P.W.2) has admitted in para 14 of his cross- examination that Madhoganj Police had not obtained any of his statement when report was lodged with them.He also admitted in para 15 that he had informed Madhoganj Police that Agra Police had brought Indel Singh to his house and then they visited Dang Birkhari alongwith Agra Police when Agra Police had informed that Indel Singh has confessed to them that he has killed his brother and driver.P/18 and they have been improvised subsequently in Court statements.It is also submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that testimony of Ramesh (PW-2) and Laxmi (PW-3) in regard to identification of Indel Singh is doubtful except that they had seen Indel Singh when Agra police had brought him to their residence on 13.10.1987 inasmuch as, as per prosecution story Indel Singh and Basanta had taken their tractor, but though these witnesses have given graphic account of Indel Singh's appearance, but Ramesh (PW-2) in para 18 of his cross-examination admitted that he cannot give details 8 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 (Huliya) of Basanta.If Basanta and Indel Singh are to be implicated on the basis of theory of last seen, then this witness would have given details of Basanta with equal firmness and this omission is a major omission which has not been adverted to by the learned trial Court.It is also submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that Laxmi (PW-3) has admitted that her husband was taken to cultivate about 150 Beegha of land.Rate of cultivation was fixed at Rs.25/- per Beegha.150 Beegha roughly translates into 90 acres of land and during season of cultivation it takes about 45 hours to cultivate such land which roughly translates into 4-5 days looking to the fact that those who are aware of farming practices are aware that about 2 acres of land is cultivated in an hour and usually cultivators work for 8-10 hours a day and at this rate there was no occasion for the complainant party to wait for 10-12 days for the return of their near dears.It is submitted that appellant has been falsely implicated.It is submitted that as per Laxmi (PW-3) deceased was wearing a white shirt with some lining and a Khaki coloured pant with a watch in his hand.It is submitted that the clothes which have been recovered by the police at the instance of Indel Singh vide seizure memo Ex.P/9 contain a 9 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 white Bushirt with squares and not the lines which was containing spots of diesel.It is submitted that description of this shirt is different from the one given by Laxmi (PW-3).It is also submitted that admittedly Laxmi had seen Indel Singh on 13.10.1987 when Agra Police had brought him to their house, therefore, identification parade carried out vide Ex.P/3 loses its sanctity as prosecution had already shown Indel Singh to prosecution witnesses Ramesh (PW-2) and Laxmi (PW-3) at their residence.It is also submitted by learned counsel for the appellant that appellant was brought from Agra jail on 20.10.87 from where he was formally arrested, but such witnesses of formal arrest, namely, Indrapal Singh and Babu have not been examined by the prosecution in support of such formal arrest.It is also submitted that prosecution has not bothered to produce any DNA report to connect recovered pieces of dead- body to deceased Jagdish and Gudda.It is submitted that Ex.P/26, which is a report from the department of Anatomy, G.R. Medical College, Gwalior, to Superintendent of Police, Gwalior, clearly makes a mention that sex cannot be determined for material A, whereas in regard to material D, it is mentioned that it was a male body aged 30 to 50 years.Material E is a body of a male aged 21 to 30-40 years.It 10 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 contains mark of injury on left temporal bone by a blunt object.There was a recommendation to send the case to the Institute of Forensic Medicine, M.G. Medical College, Bhopal, for determination of skin and hair, but there is no report from Institute of Forensic Medicine on record.It is submitted that in fact bodies were sent in five parts and in memo Ex.P/21, age of Jagdish has been shown to be 30 years, whereas that of Guddu to be 18 years.P/26 age of material D, which is allegedly part of body of Jagdish, has been shown to be 30 to 50 years, whereas age of part E which is allegedly head of dead-body of Guddu has been shown to be 21 to 30-40 years.It is submitted that when this memo Ex.P/26 is taken into consideration in the light of evidence given by Dr. O.N.Khare (PW-13), then it becomes evident that in para 4 of cross-examination, this witness has admitted that minimum age given by him could not have been breached and age of such person cannot be below such minimum age mentioned in his report.In view of such facts, it is submitted that identification of deceased Jagdish and Guddu cannot be said to be complete on the basis of such report and evidence of Dr. O.N.Khare (PW-13).It is also submitted that Dr. O.N.Khare has admitted that he had not received all the 11 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 bones of a human body, and therefore, in absence of any forensic report like DNA report to corroborate that bodies recovered were that of Jagdish and Guddu only, no conclusive evidence can be gathered as to death of Jagdish and Guddu.Learned counsel for the appellant submits that seizure was not properly made at the time of recovery of dead-bodies.According to Naksha Pachayatnama (Ex.P/5), death was caused with an axe and gunshot, but factum of gunshot has not been corroborated by Dr. O.N.Khare (PW-13).There is no recovery of gun.It is also submitted that as per FSL report, blood stains were found on the axe recovered from an open space as is evident from Ex.Such recovery of an axe from an open place makes recovery doubtful and also creates doubt that how blood stains could have remained clinging to the axe after several days of the incident inasmuch as it has come on record that body which was recovered was found to be about 20 days old (please refer to Ex.P/10, Fard Japti).12 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 Recovery was made on 22.10.87, whereas deceased had allegedly left their home on 3.10.87 and this causes doubt as to the prosecution story.It is also submitted that none of the relatives of deceased Guddu have been examined in the matter so to seek his identification and even Supurdginama of tractor is not on record.Learned Additional Sessions Judge has also recorded a finding that after getting information about seizure of tractor from accused Indel, since Jagdish and Guddu had gone with Indel for cultivation work, missing person report was lodged by 16 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 police Station, Madhoganj, after which accused Indel was arrested and then on the information of Indel dead-bodies of Jagdish and Guddu were recovered.Such memorandum (Ex.P/1) has been relied by the learned trial Court.In para 25 to connect such recovery of dead-bodies and clothes at the instance of Indel Singh, it has been referred to that vide seizure memo Ex.In Ex.Thereafter, there are reports about material D and material E which leads to a doubt as to whether there were bodies of more than two persons, two persons or less number of persons.As far as determination of age is concerned, as per Parikh's Textbook of Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology, III Edition 1979 revised reprint 1981, on identification of mutilated bodies, fragmentary remains and mass disasters mentions that a description of colour, length and waviness of hairs offers useful contributory evidence in identification.In the present case, though Ex.No cause has been ascribed to such bruising; it was 21 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 due to animals drifting the body or otherwise.In fact, there is mention of injury to the right and left halves of mandible by sharp weapon, but it has not been mentioned that how such finding has been recorded, specifically when the lower part of the mandible was absent.Yet another missing link is handing over of the tractor in Supurdgi (custody) to Ramesh (PW-2) despite the fact that he was not the owner of said tractor.Another lacuna is that information of incident was recorded on 22.10.87 vide Ex.P/19, whereas FIR (Ex.P/18) was recorded on 16.10.87 under Sections 394, 392, 120-B of IPC while both Ramesh (PW-2) and Laxmibai (PW-3) have admitted of having knowledge of death of Jagdish and Guddu on 13.10.87 itself when Agra police had visited them.As per prosecution in the TIP (Ex.P/3) which was conducted on 29.10.87 Laxmibai had identified Indel.This TIP was carried out at police Station, Madhoganj, whereas in para 9 of her testimony, Laxmibai has admitted that she had not met Indel at jail.She had seen Indel in a garden alongwith 23 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 Agra police and then she met Indel in the Court and had not met him anywhere else.Therefore, TIP carried out in jail or police Station becomes doubtful because this witness (PW-3) has admitted in para 9 of her cross-examination that she had not met Indel in the jail/police station.This very witness has admitted in para 11 that the day Agra police had arrived at their place, she learnt about death of her husband and driver.She again admitted in para 11 itself that she had no doubt as to the factum of death of her husband and driver after meeting with Agra police.In para 12, she has admitted that she had no talks with accused Basanta and Indel.Another missing link in the chain of circumstances is that Ramesh (PW-2), who had seen Indel alongwith Agra police, has given a graphic account of his personality, but allegation on Indel is that he after hiring tractor alongwith Basanta, had taken it alongwith Jagdish and Guddu, but this witness has not given any details of Basanta and has expressed his ignorance about the physical parameters of Basanta.This causes serious dent to the prosecution story of last seen inasmuch as if Basanta and Indel had taken the tractor together and they were constantly seen by Ramesh (PW2), Laxmibai (PW-3) and Pappu @ Umesh (PW-4) coming to their house 24 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 prior to 3-10 days of hiring of tractor and they had offered them tea etc., then nothing prevented them from giving physical parameters of Basanta.This leaves sufficient room for doubt as to the identity of Indel as the person who was seen last by the prosecution witnesses in the company of deceased Jagdish and Guddu.Another missing link is of non-examination of Babulal.In his case diary statement Ramesh (PW-2) has admitted that it was on the recommendation of Babulal that Basanta was known to him and Basanta shall not misappropriate the labour charges, the tractor was taken by Jagdish and Guddu allegedly alongwith Indel and Basanta, but even when police had declared Basanta and Rambabu as absconding, yet no steps were taken to record statements of Babulal and even no steps were taken to obtain a proclamation under Section 82 of Cr.P.C. in regard to Basanta.This leads to a possibility that in fact it was Basanta, who was known to deceased Jagdish, had taken tractor and Indel may be a purchaser of such tractor alongwith Babukhan, who has been exonerated by the Court, but since Indel was caught with the tractor and brought by Agra police, therefore, theory of last seen has been developed so to complete investigation and take credit for bringing the 25 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 accused to the books.Another missing link is that prosecution has neither produced the engine number or chasis number of the tractor which was allegedly in possession of Jagdish, nor bothered to corroborate such details of the tractor found to be in possession of Indel.He has admitted that Rs.400/- were still outstanding towards Jagdish and tractor was not transferred in the name of Jagdish and was still registered in the name of Ramswaroop.He has also admitted that he had not given any transfer paper to Jagdish.In cross- examination, this witness has admitted that police had not taken any statement from him after death of Jagdish in relation to tractor.He also admits that he had not made any documentation in regard to sell of Harrow Thresher and Trolley.This statement of Ramswaroop makes the prosecution more vulnerable, specially when as per the settled law as per the provisions contained in Chapter XXIV of Cr.P.C. in regard to disposal of property, it is the criminal Court alone which 26 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 can make an order during any enquiry or trial handing over the proper custody of the property pending conclusion of enquiry or trial.But there is no such order of handing over of the custody by the concerned Magistrate on record.Besides this, there is an admission of Ramesh (PW-2) of disposal of such property.In fact, such property could have been handed over only to registered owner of such property and not to Ramesh, and therefore, whole story of Indel taking such tractor alongwith cultivator on hire becomes doubtful.Another circumstance which has not been taken into consideration by learned Additional Sessions Judge is non- recording of statement of Thakur Singh (PW-7) who has admitted that he had informed TI Madhoganj that he alongwith Ramesh had gone with Agra police upto Gohad Chauraha in search of the deceased.This statement has not been controverted and when such statement is examined in the light of the statement given by Laxmibai (PW-3) that skeletons were recovered by Agra police from Kanipura, Gohad, non recording of statement of this witness and denying opportunity to the defence to confront him with such statement of the Town Inspector Hakim Singh (PW-11) leaves a vacuum in the story of prosecution.27 Criminal Appeal No.573/00Another lacuna is that this witness (PW-7) has admitted that when he had signed Panchnamas, at that time he is not in a position to explain whether another witness of Panchnam had signed or not and then further admitted that at the time of putting his signatures on such Panchnamas, signatures of Shrilal were not present and then further admitted in para 14 of his cross-examination that Shrilal had not signed on such Panchnamas in front of him.When this statement is seen in the light of evidence of Laxmibai (PW-3) that skeletons were recovered by Agra police, Shrilal has not been examined as a prosecution witness but as defence witness and has not supported prosecution story, authenticity and genuineness of such Panchnamas becomes doubtful.Another missing link is non-examination of any of the relatives of deceased Guddu in regard to identification of his clothes and dead-body.Testimony of Kanhaiyalal (PW-9) in regard to last seen is also doubtful.He deposed that he has a scooter repairing shop at Phoolbagh Gurudwara.He further deposed that he is also involved in the work of tractor repairing.He is a resident of Girwai close to the house of deceased Jagdish.He has given his deposition in abstract terms without giving any details.He has only deposed that at 28 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 that time at about 12 he was standing at Chandravadni Naka when Jagdish stopped after witnessing him standing there.Guddu, Basanta and Indel were with him.This witness has submitted that thereafter Jagdish had gone on Dabra road, then he gathered information that Jagdish and Guddu have been murdered.This witness has admitted that he is neighbour of Jagdish.Witness of seizure Thakur Prasad and deceased Guddu are of his community.Guddu has been shown to be a scooter mechanic who was working at a scooter agency of one Mr. Bali.Though this witness has denied the suggestion that Guddu Kushwaha was his close relative, but has admitted that he had gone to purchase spare parts of Jeter tractor at the agency of Sancheti.He has further admitted that such spare parts are available in close proximity of his shop at Phoolbagh and all the mechanics and spare part sellers close to his shop are known to him.He also admits in para 6 that he was not knowing Basanta, Indel or Babu prior to the date of incident.He admits that Jagdish had given names of these three persons to him at Jhansi road square.This is contrary to his statements given in examination-in-chief.It is also an admitted position as per his examination-in-chief that only Guddu, Basanta and Indel were the persons whom he met, and therefore, his 29 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 admission in para 6 that name of Babukhan was given to him by Jagdish is a major contradiction inasmuch as Babu Khan was not admittedly present, and therefore, there was no occasion for Jagdish to have given name of Babu Khan.This when read in conjunction with the fact that Guddu and Thakur Prasad, witnesses of seizure are his relative and he is neighbour of Jagdish, leaves sufficient doubt as to how he has been roped in by the prosecution to fill in the lacuna in the testimony of Ramesh (PW-2) and Laxmibai (PW-3) so to complete the chain of last seen.Testimony of this witness does not inspire confidence as to the theory of last seen.Hakim Singh (PW-11), who has been wrongly shown as PW-11 inasmuch as one Narayan Singh has also been shown as PW-11 so also Hakim Singh by the trial Court which recorded the evidence.Narayan Singh has admitted that no seizure of any tractor or its parts was made in front of him by the police at village Dhanoli under Malpura police Station.He refused to identify the accused person.He refused to testify arrest of Indel by Daroga and also denied that Indel had given any confessional statement as to theft of tractor.He has denied that two persons had absconded from the place from where tractor was seized.Therefore, seizure of tractor could also not 30 Criminal Appeal No.573/00 be proved by the prosecution.Evidence of Hakim Singh (PW-11) to the effect that dead-bodies of Jagdish and Guddu were excavated from

+"acquitted for charges pertaining to offences under Sections 504, 324, 323/34 and 506-B of IPC.Heard the learned Public Prosecutor and perused the record.In para 13 of the impugned judgment, the learned trial Magistrate has adverted to serious anomalies found in the evidence of Balwant Singh (PW.1) and Sohan Singh (PW.2), who are said to be injured persons.The FIR (Ex. P/1) has been lodged by Balwant Singh (PW.1), wherein it has been stated that the incident took place at 6:00 am in the morning, in which he himself as well as Sohansingh (PW.2) and Gulabsingh (PW.4) sustained bodily injuries.On the contrary Sohan Singh (PW.2) says that the incident took place in the evening and he did not accompany Balwant Singh (PW.1) to the field in the morning.Further, it is noticeable that as per version given by Balwant Singh (PW.1) a mason and some labourer were also present at the alleged time of incident i.e. 6:00am.However, the learned Magistrate has disbelieved it on the ground that ordinarily mason and labourer will not go to work at 6:00 pm in the morning.Learned Magistrate has also noticed that one of the witnesses J.C. Malviya (PW.7) has stated that the incident took place at around 9:00 am while as per Balwant Singh (PW.1) the incident took place at 6:00 am.Thus the three witness namely Balwant Singh (PW.1), Sohan Singh (PW.2) and JC Malviya (PW.7) have stated different timing regarding the incident, which is not reconcilable.Apart this, no independent witness has been examined, though it is stated that a mason and some labourer were present at the time of alleged incident.","['Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

17/06/2015 23:59:12 :::The prosecution examined six witnesses during the trial.The first witness is Sheela herself.The second witness is her associate Avinash.The third witness Prabhakar and the fourth witness Ajij are panchas in respect of the spot panchanama.None of them supported the case of the prosecution.Even otherwise, their evidence is not very relevant in the context of the facts of the prosecution case and the admitted position.The fifth witness is Bhaskar who, as aforesaid, was at the material time working in the shop of Sheela as a servant.He is the only person, who witnessed the actual incident and who speaks about it.The sixth witness is Dinkar Bagal, Sub-Inspector of Police, who was attached to Boisar Police Station, at the material time, and who has investigated into the alleged offences.It is clear that Bhaskar (PW5) is the only witness in respect of the alleged incident and, therefore, his evidence assumes importance.The other person - who was said to be present in the shop - Tanaji could not be examined during trial, because he had passed away.Bhaskar states that on the particular day, the appellant and others came to the shop and directed Bhaskar and Tanaji, who were present there, to leave the shop.Though Bhaskar and Tanaji were not ready to go out of the shop, the appellant drove them out of the shop.The appellant and the persons, who had come with Gaikwad RD 3/8 ::: Downloaded on -

The allegation against the petitioner was that he did not intimate about the above said case and his arrest to his department.Vide order dated 17.02.2003 issued by Manager (P & A) the petitioner was released from suspension and was ordered to be taken back on duty w.e.f. 18.02.2003, pending inquiry into the case.The petitioner was served with another memo dated 10.03.2003 whereby he was called upon to show cause as to why the penalty of 'censure' be not imposed upon him.The petitioner vide his explanation dated 13.03.2003 explained that his delay in informing the office regarding the arrest was not intentional but beyond his control as he was handicapped due to police custody and there was not even a single member of his family who could have informed the office as all of them were in jail.Vide impugned order dated 18.03.2003 the punishment of 'censure' was imposed upon the petitioner and it was further ordered that ""the subsistence allowance which had already been paid to him for the period he remained under suspension is considered adequate"", meaning thereby, that the remaining pay and allowances stood forfeited.The review petition was also dismissed.Consequently, the present writ petition was filed wherein it was prayed that writ of certiorari, quashing the impugned order dated 18.03.2003 passed by the respondent forfeiting his residue pay and allowances for the period of suspension w.e.f. 19.03.1995 to 18.02.2003 kindly be issued.It was further prayed that interest be also granted.I have heard the counsel for the parties.He urged that it was incumbent upon the respondent to give him reasonable opportunity to show cause as to why the above said portion of salary and other allowances should not be paid to him.In order to bring his point home, he has cited following authorities.(11) The appeal is allowed and the High Court's order is set aside.The competent authority is directed to consider the question de novo after giving to the appellant a reasonable opportunity to show cause against the action proposed against him.The respondent will pay to the appellant costs of this appeal as also the costs of the petition in the High Court.It must be borne in mind that vide order dated 18.03.2003 the punishment of censure was imposed upon the petitioner.It has not been called into question in these proceedings.It has attained finality.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"At that time applicants were taking their bullock cart through his field which was objected by the complainant Ramsingh at which all of a sudden applicant No. 1 Harisingh taken out a Spear (Ballam) from the bullock cart and dealt a blow, causing injury at the wrist of right hand.The complainant tried to run away towards his house but he was assaulted by the applicants by lathi.The matter was reported in the Police Station by the complainant.In medical examination by Dr. R. Kumar (P.W. 5), injuries were found on the person of the complainant Ramsingh out of which injury No. 1, incised wound on the left forearm and injury No. 3 on right thumb and index finger were caused by sharp edged weapon and rest injuries were caused by hard and blunt object.JUDGMENT S.L. Kochar, J.This revision has been preferred by the applicants against the judgment dated 18-6-2004 passed by II Addl.Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Narsinghgarh in Criminal Appeal No. 17/2003 arising out of Criminal Case No. 370/2000, judgment dated 28-11-2002 passed by learned JMFC, Narsinghgarh, whereby affirmed the conviction of the applicants for the offence punishable under Section 326, 326/34 of IPC but modified the sentence.Instead of three years R.I. with fine of Rs. 750/- the applicant No. 1 Harisingh has been sentenced to R.I. for one year with fine of Rs. 750/- and applicants No. 2 Hanumantsingh, No. 3 Indarsingh and No. 4 Jagdishsingh have been sentenced to undergo R.I. for one year with fine of Rs. 750/- each under Section 326/34 of IPC.The learned Counsel for applicants Shri Mayank Upadhyaya, has submitted that prior to filing application for grant of permission to compound the offence, the complainant Ramsingh who is present today before this Court had also filed an application dated 10-5-2003 for grant of permission to compound the offences before the learned Lower Appellate Court.This application is available in the record and this Court has perused the same.Looking to these facts, there is no doubt that the complainant Ramsingh s/o Dayaram has amicably settled the dispute between the applicants and also filed application for grant of permission to compound the offences before this Court also.In brief the prosecution case before the Trial Court was that on 9-10-2000 at 5.00 p.m., complainant Ramsingh was going to his house from his field.After investigation, charge-sheet was filed and the learned Trial Court framed the charges against applicant No. 1 Harisingh under Section 326 and against No. 2 Hanumantsingh, No. 3 Indarsingh and No. 4 Jagdishsingh under Section 326/34 of IPC because the complainant had fracture of left ulna, metacarpal bone and right febula bone underneath the incised injury.The applicants denied the charges before the Trial Court.Therefore, put on trial.The learned Trial Court, after examining the prosecution and defence witnesses and hearing them, convicted the applicants as mentioned above against which they went up in appeal and the Lower Appellate Court upheld the conviction but modified the sentence as indicated above.The application filed by the complainant for compounding the offence was dismissed because the offence was not compoundable.The contention of the learned Counsel for applicants is that the conviction of applicants No. 2 Hanumantsingh, No. 3 Indarsingh and No. 4 Jagdishsingh with the help of Section 34 of IPC is not tenable because at the time of causing of injury by sharp side of Spear (Ballam), they were not present.They reached later on and joined the applicant No. 1 Harisingh and thereafter all had caused injuries by lathi and all those injuries are simple in nature.Having heard the learned Counsel for parties and after perusing the entire record, there is substance in the submission of the learned Counsel for applicants regarding conviction of applicant Nos. 2, 3 and 4 under Section 326 read with Section 34 of IPC.There is no evidence on record that there was pre-meeting of mind, premeditation and pre-plan between the applicants for causing grievous injuries to the complainant by sharp edged weapons.According to the prosecution case itself the incident had occurred all of a sudden when the applicant No. 1 Harisingh was taking his bullock cart through the field of the complainant.At that time, applicant Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were not present.At the time of causing of the injury by Spear (Ballam), the applicant Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were not present.Therefore, for the act of applicant No. 1 Harisingh, causing grievous injuries by Spear (Ballam), applicants No. 2 Hanumantsingh, No. 3 Indarsingh and No. 4 Jagdishsingh could not be held liable.Therefore, the conviction of the applicant Nos. 2, 3 and 4 is hereby set aside instead thereof they are convicted under Section 323, IPC.The learned Counsel filed application for compounding the offence and the complainant Ramsingh is also present before this Court.The complainant has submitted that he has compounded the offence without any threat, inducement or promise.He has also submitted that in the Lower Appellate Court he had filed an application for compounding the offence.According to him, he and the- applicants are residents of same village and now they want to maintain peace and harmony.The application for compounding the offence filed by the complainant so far as the applicants No. 2 Hanumantsingh, No. 3 Indarsingh and No. 4 Jagdishsingh are concerned, is allowed.The fine amount, if deposited by them before the Trial Court, be refunded to them.The application for compounding the offence filed by the complainant so far as applicant No. 1 Harisingh is concerned, the same is refused because the offence under Section 326, IPC is not compoundable.The conviction of the applicant No. 1 Harisingh is maintained under Section 326 of the IPC, but in view of the compromise arrived at by the parties, his sentence is reduced to the period already undergone with fine of Rs. 5,000/- (five thousand).In default of payment of fine, he shall undergo R.I. for six months.The revision is allowed in part in the terms as indicated above.","['Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal

+"She, her son Ajay Choudhary along with Dinesh were watching television.Deepak was known to the deceased and her two sons as he was their neighbour, residing in the same street.It was alleged that Ajay, Dinesh and Beermati were laughing, upon which Deepak got enraged and called Ajay outside asking him the reason for their laughter.It was alleged that Deepak held Ajay by the neck, when he (Ajay) stated that the three were laughing over something that was being screened on TV.Deepak is alleged to have abused Ajay and told him that they were laughing and mocking him and that they were lying to him; it was alleged that he told Ajay ""saale mujh par haste ho, mera mazak udate ho aur jhoot bolte ho"".The Injury was antemortem, caused by sharp edged cutting stabing weapon and was sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature Blouse showd a cut mark corresponding to external injury.The post mortem report No. 457/95 was prepared by me, i.e. in my own hand writing bears my signatures at point A. the same is exhibited PW.12/A.Through: Mr. Jaideep Malik, APP.The appellant (hereafter called ""Deepak"") impugns the judgment and order dated 13.01.1998 in S.C. No. 414/1995 whereby he was convicted of the offence punishable under Section 302 IPC and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life with fine of ` 1000/- and in default further R.I. for one month.The learned Addl.Sessions Judge also convicted Deepak for the offence punishable under Section 307 IPC and sentenced him to undergo R.I. for five years and to pay ` 500/- as fine, in default of which he was to undergo R.I. for a period of 15 days.A CRL.A. 45/1998 Page 1 similar sentence was imposed, after conviction was recorded under Section 450 IPC.The prosecution case was that on 19.07.1995, Deepak, in a stabbing incident, had attacked one Beermati with a knife and also stabbed Dinesh.He slapped Ajay 3/4 times.At that time, Ajay's brother Dinesh came out and separated the two.Deepak allegedly left towards his house stating that he (Ajay) had been rescued but that he would not be left alive in future; the prosecution alleged that the actual words used were ""ab to bach gaya hai, ise zinda nahi chodoonga"".It was alleged that thereafter Ajay and Dinesh went inside their house.About 3/4 minutes later, Deepak came back with a knife in his hand.At that time Beermati was near the entrance of her house and on seeing Deepak armed with a knife, she asked him to stop, enquiring where was he going.Deepak allegedly told Beermati that she was shielding her sons and that he would first remove her from his way - allegedly stating ""tu ladkon ke bahut himayat karti hai, pehle tujhe hi raste se hataa deta hoon"".Thereafter Deepak stabbed her in the lower portion of the left breast resulting in her bleeding and Beermati's falling down.It was alleged that Dinesh tried to save his mother from Deepak but that the latter said that he too used to favour his brother and would not be left alive.The alleged words used by Deepak were ""tu bhi bhai ka himayati banta hai, tujhe bhi zinda nahi choroonga"".With these words he attacked Dinesh with the knife in the lower left side of his abdomen.On hearing the noise, many people, including Om Bir Singh reached the spot.On seeing them, Deepak ran away along with his knife.It was alleged that Ajay took Beermati and Dinesh to G.T.B. Hospital with a neighbour and others; Beermati was declared dead.According to the prosecution version, Deepak was arrested on 20.07.1995 and on the basis of his interrogation, the recovery of a knife was made.It was alleged that a disclosure statement, Ex. PW-6/B was recorded.On 02.05.1996, the court charged Deepak for offences punishable under Sections 302, 307 and 450 IPC.He entered the plea of not guilty and claimed trial.The prosecution examined 25 witnesses in support of its case; Deepak examined two defence witnesses.On the basis of the materials, depositions of witnesses and rival contentions, the Trial Court found the accused Deepak guilty as charged and sentenced him to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for committing the concerned offences, in the manner indicated previously in the present judgment.At the outset, learned counsel for the appellant submitted that having regard to the evidence, particularly the depositions of PW-2, the deceased's younger son Ajay, as well as PW- 4, the elder son of the deceased, who sustained injuries, the attack by Deepak stood established and could not be denied.It was, however, submitted that Deepak got enraged due to remarks made by PW-2 Ajay Pal and other members of his family.Learned senior counsel for the appellant submitted that even as per allegations of the prosecution, there was no history of enmity or malice and that there was no motive for Deepak to have attacked Beermati and Dinesh.In this context, it was argued that according to the line of questioning adopted during the cross- examination, there was hardly any time-gap between the first incident when all members of the family were laughing and when the attack took place.Therefore, the versions of PW-2 and 4 about the reason for Deepak's anger are to be seen in the context of the deposition of other witnesses.Even though PW-2 and PW-4 deposed that there was trivial provocation for the attack, a reading of PW-5's testimony clarifies that the reason for the attack was something else.The said witness had deposed very clearly having witnessed the incident and heard Deepak stating CRL.A. 45/1998 Page 3 ""tere bache rozana jaghre karte hain, tu inki himayat karti hai, mere raste se hat jaa"" and an altercation between Birmati and the accused had taken place.""It was submitted that even though PW-2 and PW-4 had stated that they were laughing due to a humorous or comic scene aired on the television, it was evident that there was some previous history of the appellant Deepak being teased or quarreled with.Learned counsel also pointed to the cross-examination of PW-4 to the following effect:""It is incorrect to suggest that I and my brother were standing on the door of our house when the accused Deepak had passed through the gali clad in a white trouser and shirt and that upon seeing him, we passed a taunting remark by saying ""look the black crow in a white dress is coming"".It is further incorrect to suggest that the accused felt bad when he heard the remark and an altercation took place between the accused and us.It is further wrong that the accused told us that we should not taunt in this way to which we replied that if we behave the same manner, what harm he could do to them.It is further wrong to suggest that thereafter an altercation took place between us which resulted in fight between the accused on one side and both of us on the other side.It is further incorrect to suggest that meanwhile, our mother also joined us and all of us dragged the accused inside our house and started beating him and the accused got released himself and tried to run away from there but we all three again caught hold of him.It is further incorrect to suggest that our mother picked up a thapi (wooden stick) for washing clothes and started beating the accused with that thapi and that Deepak also started beating us with fists and slapped blows and that he slapped fist blows to me also.It is further incorrect to suggest that I got angered at the beating received by me and in the fit of anger I went inside the house and brought a knife and that on seeing the knife, the accused became nervous and he tried to snatch the knife and in that process of snatching the knife, which was snatched by the accused from me, my mother received injuries and in the same process, I also received the injuries.It is further correct that after the incident the accused ran away from the spot and I cannot say he ran away towards his house.""It was emphasized that the evidence of PW-2 made it clear that Deepak was the son of the deceased's neighbour and that they did not have any previous history of enmity.The entire facts revealed that an altercation took place on account of a trivial provocation which evidently had some previous history.Learned senior counsel highlighted that the post mortem report of the deceased suggested that she died on account of a single blow and the Court should take this aspect into consideration and hold that this was not a case of previous deliberation or premeditated action.In these circumstances, submitted learned senior counsel, the appellant could not have been convicted for the offence under Section 302 but instead it could have been under Section 304 IPC.To achieve this end, he went back home, returned armed with the knife, which was recovered subsequently during the investigation.The appellant, going back in the first instance and returning with such a dangerous weapon and proceeding to use it without hesitation betrayed his real intention which was to inflict deadly injuries upon those who he was angry with or against whom he bore a grudge.The MLC of Dinesh, PW-4, marked as Ex. PW-18/A, reveals that he too was examined at 5.30 PM on the date of the incident.The doctors declared him fit for statement.The observations in this document revealed that he had suffered a stab wound on the left side of the abdomen in mid-auxiliar line at the line of the last CRL.A. 45/1998 Page 5 rib to the extent of 1 inch into 1 into 6th of an inch.The postmortem report prepared by PW-12, Dr. A.K. Tyagi indicated the following injuries and cause of death:""XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX External Injury:- 1) Incised stab wound of 3.0x0.8 cm xcavity deep was present obliquely over middle outer front of left side chest.The upper inner angle was more acute than lower outer angle & upper angle is 10.0 cms horizontly out words & to left from the nipple.The injury entered the left side chest cavity by cutting the 4th rip and then went through and through the lower part of upper lobe of left lung near its inner margin it further entered the Heart i.e. left ventricle from its left wall by making a cut of 1.7x0.2 cms and ended by making small nick over inter-ventriculor septum.The depth in the heart is 04.00 cms and total depth of the injury was 11.5 cms.The direction of injury was from left to right obliquely downwords, inwards and slightly backwards.Left side chest cavity contains blood about 600 cc.Injuries to left lung and heart as mentioned with external injuries.Opinion - Death in this case was due to shock as a result of haemorrage caused by injury to chest.XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX""Since the appellant Deepak has not disputed having attacked the deceased and PW-4, it would be unnecessary to discuss the details with regard to depositions of various prosecution witnesses.These had claimed to be eye witnesses to the incident and were present when the attack took place.11. PW-2 and PW-4 are consistent by and large, in stating the details and origins of the attack.It was deposed that on the day of the incident, both of them, along with the deceased were watching television around 4.00 PM.Deepak was passing by.Simultaneously, he heard them laugh.Thinking that they were laughing or mocking at him, he called out Ajaypal, PW-2 and asked him the reason for the laughter.PW-2 informed him that the laughter was on account of some comic incident in the television programme or film.The two eyewitnesses PW-2 and PW-4 CRL.A. 45/1998 Page 6 were extensively cross-examined whether the film ANDAAZ APNA APNA was screened at that time and who were the lead actors in that film.Deepak was unsatisfied with PW-3's explanation and tried to attack Ajaypal upon which PW-4 Dinesh interceded and separated the two of them from a scuffle.Thereupon, according to both the witnesses, Deepak left the scene, threatening to return and finish Ajaypal.Barely three-four minutes later, he came back and tried to enter the house of PW-2, 4 and the deceased.According to the two witnesses, Beermati tried to stop him but was fatally stabbed.When Dinesh, PW-4 intervened, he too received stab injuries in the abdomen.The contention deserves to be accepted.This was not a case of premeditation as the accused and the deceased met by chance and the appellant had given only one blow.The evidence regarding raising of a lalkara by the other accused has not been believed by the trial court.On the basis of the evidence led in this case it is not possible to say with certainty under which circumstances the appellant gave a kirpan blow to Amrik Singh.No attempt was made by him to give another blow.The injury caused on the head of Amrik Singh does not appear to have been caused intentionally.However, the fact remains that the deceased died because of this injury.The High Court however failed to note that the prosecution has to prove that the appellant intended to cause that particular injury.In Jagtar Singh the facts were that the accused had inflicted a single knife injury which proved fatal.""The next question is what offence the appellant is shown to have committed? In a trivial quarrel the appellant wielded a weapon like a knife.The incident occurred around 1.45 noon.The quarrel was of a trivial nature and even in such a trivial quarrel the appellant wielded a weapon like a knife and landed a blow in the chest.In these circumstances, it is a permissible inference that the appellant at least could be imputed with a knowledge that he was likely to cause an injury which was likely to cause death.In the present case too, the quarrel between the appellant and the deceased's sons, was due to a trivial reason.He tried to assault Ajaypal; the deceased tried to prevent him; he attacked her.PW-4 thereafter tried to intervene; he too was attacked.All these facts do not suggest pre-meditation, or a previous history of ill will between Deepak and the deceased's family.He launched an attack on the deceased, when he thought that she would prevent him from assaulting Ajaypal.Both she and PW-4 were given single blows, when they tried to prevent his attack.","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 450 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(01/08/2019) By a common order, all the three appeals shall be decided as they arise out of the same incident.Since, Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad were absconding and were arrested at a later stage, therefore, they have been convicted by separate judgments and sentences.These Criminal Appeals have been filed under Section 372 of Cr.P.C.All the appellants have been convicted for the following offences :3 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017The prosecution story in short is that on 7-11-2013, the complainant Gendi bai lodged a report that she was all alone and was sleeping in the porch of her house.At about 2 A.M. in the night, four persons came there and gagged her mouth by tying a cloth and took out her silver Kade, Silver Khangwari, Gold Tops, Gold ring and also took away Rs. 6000/-.Since the tops were pulled from her ears, therefore, her pinna got injured.The appellant Purshottam assaulted on her face, therefore, her teeth have broken.On this report, the police registered crime No. 280/2013 for offence under Sections 394,452,325 of I.P.C.The police arrested the appellant Purshottam, Ghanshyam, Preetam as well as one Laxminarayan and recovered one gold tops from the possession of the appellant Purshottam, Rs. 6000 from Laxminarayan, Silver Khangwari from Ghanshyam and two silver Kade from Preetam.The appellants abjured their guilt and pleaded not guilty.The prosecution in order to prove its case, examined Gendibai (P.W.1), Balram (P.W.2), Govind Prasad Sharma (P.W.3), Dr. A.P. Singh (P.W.4), Madanlal (P.W.5), Sunil Verma (P.W.6), Dr. Vinod Chourasia (P.W.7), Hazarilal (P.W.8), Ramcharan (P.W.9), and Santosh Bhargava 4 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 (P.W.10).The appellants didnot examine any witness in their defence.Challenging the conviction and sentence recorded by the Court below, the Counsel for the appellant Purshottam submitted that although in the F.I.R., the name of the appellant was mentioned but in the Test Identification Parade, the complainant Gendibai (P.W.1) could not identify the appellant Purshottam, although again in dock identification, She has identified the appellant Purshottam, thus identification is doubtful.She has stated that the appellants came inside the house and broke her teeth.Her mouth was gagged by tying a cloth.The tops were pulled from her ear.Her hands were tied.Her box was broken and silver Kade, silver Khangwari, gold tops and a cash of Rs. 7000 was taken away.After the miscreants left the house, the complainant started screaming as a result of which her neighbour Madan came who was followed by Balram and Jairam.They went to police outpost at about 3-4 A.M.

P.3 was got signed by Daroga.6 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017Balram (P.W.2) has stated that he was informed by Madan on phone and when he went to the house of the complainant who is the mother, he found that She was tied and her teeth were broken and ear pinnas were teared and the assailants had taken away gold tops, silver Khangwari, Silver Kade, and about Rs. 6000/-.The complainant had informed that Purshottam and Laxminarayan were amongst the assailants.In cross examination, this witness denied the suggestion that some unknown persons had committed the offence.Govind Prasad Sharma (P.W3) had recorded the F.I.R. on the basis of report which was brought by constable Damodar from Police outpost Jhagar.Dr. A.P. Singh (P.W.4) had examined the complainant Gendibai and found empty socket of left and right Lateral Inciser and left central Inciser were filled with blood cot and was exfoliated due to injury.Madan (P.W.5) has also supported the prosecution story and stated 7 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 that after hearing the screaming of the complainant Gendibai (P.W.1), he went to the spot and found that the ears of Gendibai were injured and her teeth were broken and hands were tied and one towel and rope was tied around her neck.He also informed Balram, the son of the complainant.Gendibai had disclosed the name of the appellant Purshottam and Laxminarayan.The appellant Preetam Dhakad is on bail.His bail bonds are discharged.The appellant Ghanshyam is in jail.The police after completing the investigation, filed the charge sheet against four persons for offence under Sections 394,452 and 325 of I.P.C..The Trial Court by order dated 23-1-2014 framed charges under Sections 452,394 read with Section 397 of I.P.C.4 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017The accused statement of Purshottam was recorded on the same day.The Trial Court by judgment dated 27-3-2015 convicted the appellant Purshottam, by judgment dated 29-7-2017 convicted the appellant Preetam Dhakad and by judgment dated 12-5-2015 convicted the appellant Ghanshyam for the above mentioned offences.Thereafter they went to Police outpost and lodged the F.I.R. This witness turned hostile against the appellant Ghanshyam and Preetam and accordingly he was declared hostile.7 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017Sunil Verma (P.W.6) had conducted the Test Identification Parade of the accused persons, and stated that the complainant had identified Laxminarayan only.Dr. Vinod Chourasia, (P.W.7) had medically examined the complainant and found the following injuries :""1. Lacerated wound, Cm.X Cm.X deep upto muscular on left ear labret.Lacerated wound, Cm. X CM.X deep upto muscular on right ear labret.Abrasion, Cm.X Cm., on frontal part of neck.Abrasion, Cm.X Cm., on left forearm.Diffused swelling, 4 X 3 CM., on left hand.Abrasion, Cm.X Cm., on right hand.""8 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017Appellants Preetam Dhakad and GhanshyamThese appellants were put for Identification, and the complainant in the Test Identification Parade, Ex. P. 4, could not identify these appellants.Therefore, it is held that the prosecution has proved the seizure of Silver Khangwari and Silver Kade from the possession of Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad 9 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 respectively.9 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017Now the pivotal question for determination is that whether the prosecution has established the identification of these articles.The complainant Gendibai (P.W.1), has stated that the articles were shown by Daroga in the Police Station and identification memo Ex. P.3 was prepared, whereas according to the prosecution case, the test identification parade for identification of seized articles was conducted by Ramcharan, Sarpanch Gram Panchayat Sujakhedi (P.W. 9).Ramcharan (P.W. 9) has not supported the prosecution case, and has stated that he was called in Police Outpost Jhagar, where the articles were handed over to the complainant by police and identification memo, Ex. P.3 was prepared by the police in the police station itself and his signatures were obtained.Thus, it is clear that the prosecution has failed to establish that the articles seized from the possession of the appellants Ghanshyam and Preetam were that of the complainant Gendi bai (P.W.1).There is no other evidence against the appellants Ghanshyam and Preetam.10 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 P.4, but again identified the appellant Purshottam in the dock.But the prosecution has failed to prove the identification of the Gold Tops for the reasons already mentioned while considering 23 Cr.A. Nos.552/2015, 607/2015 and 1297/2017 the case of appellants Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad.Accordingly, it is held that although Gold Tops were seized from the possession of appellant Purshottam, but since, its identification could not be established by the prosecution, therefore, the seizure of gold tops loses its importance.However, in view of the fact that Purshottam was specifically named by the complainant Gendibai (P.W.1) in the F.I.R., Ex. P.1 which was lodged within a period of 4 hours, because the incident took place at about 3 A.M. in the night and the F.I.R. was lodged at 7:00 A.M., as well as that he was identified by the complainant in the Court, coupled with the fact that the ocular evidence of complainant Gendi bai (P.W.1) is supported by medical evidence, Ex. P.6 and P.8, it is held that the prosecution has succeeded in establishing the guilt of the appellant Purshottam beyond reasonable doubt.The Trial Court has convicted the appellant Purshottam for offence under Section 394/397 of I.P.C. Since, the complainant Gendibai (P.W.1) had suffered dismemberment of her teeth, therefore, the conviction of the appellant Purshottam for offence under Section 397 of I.P.C. is affirmed.Accordingly, the appellant Purshottam is held guilty of committing offence under Section 452 and 397 of I.P.C.So far as the question of sentence is concerned, the minimum sentence for offence under Section 397 of I.P.C. is seven years.In default, the appellant Purshottam shall undergo the rigorous imprisonment of 6 months.The appellant Purshottam is on bail.His bail bonds are hereby cancelled.He is directed to immediately surrender before the Trial Court for undergoing the remaining jail sentence.He be released if not required in any other case.Accordingly, the judgment and sentence judgment and sentence dated 27-3-2015 passed by IVth Additional Sessions Judge, Guna in S.T. No. 26/2014 is hereby affirmed with above mentioned modifications.The judgment and sentence dated 29-7-2017 passed by 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Guna in S.T. No. 26/2014 and dated 12-5- 2015 passed by IVth Additional Sessions Judge, Guna in S.T. No. 26/2014 are hereby set aside.The appeal filed by appellant Ghanshyam and Preetam Dhakad are allowed and appeal filed by appellant Purshottam is partially allowed.(G.S.

+"Many people were victimized due to his criminal activities and they feared to complain about his atrocious activities.He has further stated that in the third week of the month of March, 2003, on one evening at 19.00 hrs.JUDGMENT V.K. TAHILRAMANI, J.Through this writ petition, the petitioner-detenu Raja @ Raju Namdev Kharade, has impugned the order of detention dated 054.05.2003 passed by the Respondent No. 1 Shri V.D. Mishra, Commissioner of Police, Solapur.By the said order, the petitioner has been detained under Sub-section 1 of Section 3 of Maharashtra Pretention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords, Bootleggers, Drug Offenders and Dangerous Persons Act, 1981 (hereinafter referred to as ""MPDA Act"" for the sake of brevity).B to the petition, shows that the impugned order of detention is founded on one C.R. viz. C.R. No. 92/2003 registered under Section 307 and 504 of I.P.C. r.w. Section 3 and 25 of the Indian Arms Act and r.w. Section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. The said complaint dated 26.3.2003 has been registered on the basis of the complaint of Gajendra Dattatraya Harale lodged at Faujdar Chawdi Police Station, Solapur.Besides C.R. No. 92/2003, the detention order is also based on two incamera statements of two witnesses namely 'A' and 'B' which were recorded on 15.4.2003 and 16.4.2003 respectively.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length.Although, in this writ petition, a large number of grounds have been pleaded i.e. ground 6(A) to 6(L), the learned counsel for the petitioner has pressed only two grounds.The first ground is that the detention order has been issued relying on three incidents i.e. C.R. No. 92/2003 and two incamera statements, however, none of the three incidents affect public order.Shri Chitnis has further contended that all the three incidents are confined to individual persons and they are private crimes as distinct from public crime.He has further contended that none of the incidents in any way affect the even tempo of the life of the community nor do any of the incidents affect the peace and tranquillity of the people of that particular locality where the crime had been committed and hence none of the incidents affect public order.In the said case, the detaining authority had relied on two incidents and issued the order of detention.In case of the first incident i.e. Crime Case No. 109/1985, the Supreme Court came to the conclusion that the said incident did not affect the public order whereas as far as the second case was concerned i.e. Crime Case No. 222/1985, the Supreme Court held that the public order was disturbed by the said incident.In respect of the first incident the Supreme Court in para No. 12 observed thus:-In the instant case, the criminal acts referred to in ground No. 1 are to the effect that on 4th June, 1985 at about 11 p.m. some persons informed the complainant that his brother has been shot by some persons and when complainant reached the spot he found his brother Vishnu Narain Awasthi lying in the pool of blood and he had already died.Crime Case No. 109/1985 under Section 302 I.P.C. was registered at Ghazipur Police Station.This incident is confined to individual persons and it is private crime as distinct from public crime.Further they have stated that due to fear of reprisal they did not lodge complaint with respect to the said incident.Hence, considering the incidents as narrated by the incamera witnesses 'A' and 'B', it would affect the public order as defined under the Act.""In respect of the contention that the incident pertaining to C.R. No. 92/2003 does not affect public order, the detaining authority has inter alia stated in para No. 11 of his affidavit that (SIC) say that the complainant in C.R. No. 92/2003 had stated that after witnessing the said incident, due to fear the witnesses ran away and nobody came to their help.The said fact as stated by the complainant in C.R. No. 92/2003 alongwith the other material such as statement of eye witnesses and other witnesses having being considered clearly falls within the purview of public order under the MPDA Act.""The learned A.P.P. Mrs. A.S. Pai has brought to our notice that in the grounds of detention, it is mentioned that the detenu assaulted the mother of the complainant on the head with sword.Thereafter, the detenu assaulted the complainant Gajendra Harale on the head and on the left hand finger.Then to save Gajendra, his old grand mother Kausalyabai covered Gajendra Harale with her body, but the detenu continued his attack and assaulted her on the head and on her hands.this witness was passing from Tuljapur Naka with his auto-rickshaw.At that time, the detenu and this one associate stopped his auto-rickshaw and asked to take him to Kali Masjid.After leaving the detenu at Kali Masjid, the witness asked him to pay the fare of Rs. 20/-.At that time the detenu abused and threatened him that if he asked for the fare, the detenu would kill him.Then the witness requested the detenu to pay him at least Rs. 10/- for petrol.Due to the request made by this witness, the detenu get annoyed and took him out of the auto-rickshaw forcibly and abused and assaulted him.The associate of detenu damaged the glasses of the auto-rickshaw with a stone.During this incident no one came to help the witness but ran away due to detenu's fear.The two nearby shop-keepers closed their shops.While leaving the spot the detenu threatened this witness not to complain regarding this matter otherwise the detenu would not allow him to do his business in that area.Due to fear of reprisal the witness did not complain about this incident.From the fact that the other persons instead of coming to help the witness ran away due to fear of the detenu, it is clear that the act of the detenu generated a feeling of fear and terror in the minds of the persons who witnessed the incident.The reach and effect of this incident is that it disturbed public tranquillity and thus it affected public order.It is also seen that two nearby shop keepers closed their shops on witnessing this incident.Thus, it is clear that this incident affected public order.In relation to the incident pertaining to witness 'B', on perusal of the grounds of detention, it is seen that witness 'B' has stated that he knew the detenu as a notorious goonda operating in the area.Due to his criminal activities, ordinary people in the area are unwilling to complain against him.His associates are involved in the offences of extortion.They often extort money from the witness and from small scale business persons.The vegetable cart of the witness was burnt in the riots, which occurred in the month of October 2002, hence, the witness did not pay the amount to the associates of the detenu.This witness has further stated that in the first week of March, 2003 on one morning at 10.00 hrs.he was selling vegetables on his cart.When the witness came near Dhangekar Automobiles in Budhwar Peth area, the detenu and his one associate were passing from that place on the detenu's motorcycle.At that time, the detenu's associate told some thing to the detenu pointing towards this witness, due to which the detenu came to the witness and started to assault him, threatening that the witness was doing the business in his area and he is not paying the detenu.The detenu threatened the witness that if he saw this witness in that area, the detenu will kill him.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"It is said that during investigation the police recorded statements of complainant Ravindra Kumar Jain, one Mukesh Kumar Jain and also that of the staff Nurses namely Neelima Mishra and Smt. Preeti Masih.It is also said that Smt. Preeti Masih had attended to Smt. Manisha Jain and had found that the patient had not developed any problem and therefore, the applicant had not been sent for to attend to her.ORDER Uma Nath Singh, J.This order in the criminal revision No. 426/2002 arising out the order dated 8-3-2002 passed by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Damoh, in Criminal Case No. 3474/1997 shall also dispose of connected Criminal Revision No. 348/2002 filed against the order dated 15-3-2002 passed by learned Chief Judicial Magistrate.It is said that on 9-3-1997 a child delivered at 06.30 by one Smt. Manisha Jain under care and supervision of staff nurse died in a Government Hospital allegedly due to negligence of the applicant.It is also said that being a Government.Medical Officer in the District Hospital, Damoh, the applicant had treated Smt. Manisha Jain wife of Ravindra Kumar Jain, the complainant herein, privately and had also received a fee of Rs. 80/-.It is also a case of the prosecution that the applicant had demanded Rs. 2,000/- and since the money had not been paid, the applicant had refused to attend to the patient in the hospital.It is also alleged that despite a request sent to the applicant, she had not attended to the patient and she had reached only at 07.30 and had declared the child dead.On a report lodged by the complainant on 12-3-1997, the police registered an offence and also filed a charge-sheet under Section 304A of IPC.The applicant, accordingly, filed an objection application under Sections 239 and 258, Cr. P. C., in view of protection granted to a public servant under Section 197, Cr.P. C. The said objection appears to have been rejected only on the ground that since a newly born child died, there is a prima facie material that the applicant was negligent.The applicant being employed as a Class I Officer has taken a plea that she is not removable from her office save by or with due sanction of the State Government and thus, a sanction under Section 197 of Cr. P. C, is required for her prosecution.The applicant has also taken a plea that there is a dearth of materials constituting a prima facie offence under Section 304A of I.P.C. against her.A part from relevant documents filed with the revision, a report of the Office of Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Hospital Superintendent, Damoh dated 4-7-2002 addressed to the Police Station Officer, Damoh, was submitted by the Government Advocate during the hearing from the said report, it appears that the wife of the complainant had been admitted in the Hospital on 9-3-1997 by emergency duty Medical Officer Dr. Sailendra Khatri.It also appears that the applicant had been assigned a duty to attend to emergency patients only on a call from the Hospital.",['Section 304A in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Added further the learned counsel for the accused / appellants that inthe instant case, even a reading of Ex.P1 would clearly indicate that she wentto the shop and fetched kerosene with an intention to commit suicide andpursuant to which, after coming to the home, she committed suicide.The learnedcounsel also would add that the prosecution has relied upon Ex.P15-dyingdeclaration of the deceased, alleged to have been recorded by P.W.17-DistrictMunsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Vadipatti, Madurai District, and even the dyingdeclaration would indicate that it was the act of all the three accused, butnowhere in any one of the documents, A2 and A3 are implicated and hence, it wasonly a developed version by the deceased against the entire family members, andit is also evident from the records that earlier, she had given two complaintsagainst the first accused which would clearly indicate that she had a grudgeagainst the family members to implicate them all.He further submitted thateven in the dying declaration, there was nothing spoken about any dowryharassment or anything and there was no whisper about A2 or A3 that theyinstigated A1 to do certain act.The learned counsel further added that itwas a clear case of suicide and these documents were marked to show that A1 toA3 have committed the offence.6. Added further the learned counsel for the accused / appellants that shewas admitted in the hospital on the date of occurrence itself, but she died onlyafter 12 days due to complications of burns and therefore, Section 302 of theCode will not apply to the facts of the case.Learned counsel for the accused / appellants, put forth the second lineof argument that it was a case where the first accused was unarmed and hence itwas not his intention to murder his wife.He further submitted that at the timeof occurrence, the first accused requested the deceased to prepare coffee andwhen she refused to do it, he got provoked and in the circumstances, he hadacted so and hence, it would clearly indicate that the act of the accused wouldnot come under the penal provisions of murder.Hence, according to the counsel,all the accused have got to be acquitted.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the abovecontentions and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made and alsoscrutinised the materials available.After examining the deceased, P.W.21 issued Ex.P22-AccidentRegister copy which would show that the deceased sustained 80% burn injuries atthe time of admitting into the hospital.Following the inquest made by P.W.18-Revenue Divisional Officer,the dead body was subjected to autopsy by P.W.8-Doctor, and he issued Ex.P8-PostMortem Certificate in which he gave a categorical opinion that the deceased diedout of burn injuries and complications thereon.The fact that she died out ofburn injuries was proved by the prosecution beyond any controversy.In order to substantiate the involvement of all the three accusedpersons in the crime of dowry demand and cruelty and also causing her death bypouring kerosene and setting her ablaze, the prosecution had no direct evidenceto offer.It relied only upon circumstantial evidence.Insofar as the firstcharge of dowry demand and cruelty is concerned, i.e. under Section 498-A ofIPC, the Court is unable to find any evidence insofar as A2 and A3 areconcerned.Admittedly, the first accused, after the marriage with the deceased,have got two children and they were living separately from A2 and A3, and on twooccasions, complaints were given by the deceased to All Women Police Station andalso to the respondent-Police.A perusal of those complaints would clearlyindicate that nowhere she has whispered anything about A2 or A3 and thus, itwould clearly indicate that there was no cruelty exerted by A2 or A3 on her,insofar as the demand for dowry.Under the circumstance, it would clearlyindicate that A2 and A3 have no role to play insofar as the crime of dowrydemand is concerned.All would clearly indicate that since A1 was not employed due to hisdisease, he was torturing her, and hence A1 has got to be found guilty underSection 498-A IPC.Insofar as the second charge of murder is concerned, on an analysis ofthe evidence available, the Court is of the considered opinion that the case inrespect of A2 and A3 cannot be said to have been proved.On the date ofoccurrence, i.e. 18.01.2008 at 9.15 a.m., after the occurrence, the deceased wastaken to the Government Hospital, Tuticorin where P.W.21-Doctor attended her at9.30 a.m. and issued Accident Register copy and the same has been marked asEx.Actually, a statement was given by the deceased in the hospital and thesame was recorded by the Sub-Inspector of Police at about 10.00 hours, pursuantto which a case came to be registered by the respondent-Police.A comment wasmade regarding the non-examination of the Sub-Inspector of Police who recordedthe statement.It is true that he was not examined, but the prosecution hasrelied on the evidence of P.W.2 fortunately, wherein she has deposed that shesigned Ex.In Ex.P1, it is specifically stated that the deceased went to theshop for purchase of kerosene to commit suicide, and after her returning to thehouse, the first accused, with an intention of causing death, beat her, pushedher inside the room, poured kerosene and set her ablaze, and she has not statedthat A2 or A3 instigated A1 to commit the offence.Further, P.W.17-District Munsif-cum-Judicial Magistrate, Vadipatti,Madurai District recorded the dying declaration of the deceased within a shortspan of 1 hour and 45 minutes.A reading of the dying declaration makes it clearthat it was her husband, the first accused, beat the deceased, pushed her insidethe room and poured kerosene from the can.The occurrence has been spoken to bythe deceased in clear and unambiguous terms and hence this Court finds noillegality or infirmity in the dying declaration.P.W.17 has categoricallystated that when she went to the hospital, she first verified as to the mentalfitness of the declarant to give such a declaration, and it was actuallyrecorded only after due certification by P.W.6-Doctor, as could be seen fromEx.The Doctor was all along present at the time of recording the statement.All these would clearly indicate the involvement of the first accused in thecrime, and nowhere the Court is able to notice any evidence as against A2 and A3insofar as the offence of murder is concerned.Hence the contention put forthby the learned counsel for the accused / appellants that the deceased made anattempt to commit suicide for which she bought kerosene and set her ablaze andhence it was a case of self-immolation, cannot be accepted.The accused was all along quarreling with the deceased earlier whichnecessitated her to give two complaints, one to the All Women Police Station andthe other to the respondent-Police Station.Pursuant to both these complaints,A1 was called for and the situation was pacified, and even then, on the date ofoccurrence, he was quarreling with her.She went to the shop and purchasedkerosene, but it was not she who poured kerosene on her.Immediately, the firstaccused / first appellant, beat her and also poured kerosene on her and set herablaze.In the circumstances, it was he who acted so.In view of the reasons stated supra, the judgment of the trial Courtfinding the first accused / first appellant guilty under Section 498-A IPC hasgot to be sustained.Accordingly, the conviction and sentence imposed by theTrial Court on the first accused / first appellant under Section 498-A areconfirmed.The conviction of A1 under Section 302 r/w 34 IPC is modified and heis convicted under Section 302 of IPC.The life sentence and fine amount imposedby the Trial Court are confirmed.Insofar as the second and third accused are concerned, the judgment ofconviction and sentences passed by the Trial Court is set aside, and they areacquitted of all the charges levelled against them.The appellants 2 and 3 /accused 2 and 3 are directed to be released forthwith, unless their presence isrequired in connection with any other case.The fine amounts if any, paid bythem shall be refunded to them.In the result, the Criminal Appeal is partly allowed.1.The

+"As per the prosecution, Gajraj Singh Yadav- PW 5, an employee of the MTNL posted at Gulabi Bagh, Delhi, was residing at House No.173, Page 1 of 51 Libaspur, Delhi with his family comprising of his deceased wife Smt. Sunita Yadav and two sons namely Sushant Yadav and Prashant Yadav.In the year 2003, Sushant and Prashant, were studying at the Panasia National Public School.Sunita Yadav was a housewife and remained at home.The children used to return from school at about 2.00 p.m. On the fateful day of 22nd of September, 2003, Prashant Yadav (PW 3), the younger child was suffering from pain in his foot and returned home at about 1.40 p.m. with his friend Sunil on his cycle.There was no response from inside when Prashant Yadav rang the bell of his house.The child saw blood near the door of the room; jumped into the house over the gate; opened the gate from inside and took his bag into the house.Raj Kumar @ Guddu-the appellant, was present in the room and he asked Prashant not to cry and to lock the gate.The appellant disclosed to the child that he had seen someone who had attacked Sunita Yadav with a knife and escaped.Raj Kumar asked him to bring a cloth to clean the floor so that the blood does not flow outside the gate.The child cleaned the floor as directed by the appellant.His efforts to Page 2 of 51 telephonically contact his father were obstructed by the appellant who told him not to do so.Page 2 of 51Prashant Yadav has testified that the appellant did not let both the brothers make the telephone call to their father to inform him about the incident.Both children have deposed that their mother Sunita Yadav was breathing at the time when they reached their house.So far as the plight of the injured Sunita is concerned, Prashant has stated that Raj Kumar held up his mother from the neck and told him (PW 3) to bring water.The appellant thereafter proceeded to press the throat of his mother and poured water into her mouth, as a result of which there was bubbling therefrom.Sunita was breathing even when Raj Kumar was pouring water into his mother's mouth.As Page 3 of 51 Raj Kumar was pressing their mother's throat when pouring water into her mouth Prashant told Sushant to hit Raj Kumar.Page 3 of 51The child also stated that when he was able to connect with his father's telephone, Raj Kumar snatched the phone from him and the phone line snapped.Prashant was able to reconnect the phone line and managed to contact his father's office but while he was talking to the person who had answered the phone, the accused pulled out the telephone wire.In these circumstances, Prashant states that he could only convey the message that his mother has been attacked (""mere Mammy ko mar diya"") before the phone line was pulled out.It is further in the testimony of PW 4 Sushant Yadav @ Sunny, the elder of the two children, that Prashant was also extremely frightened when Raj Kumar enquired from him as to whom Prashant was calling and asked Sushant to hit him.PW 4-Sushant had also asked the appellant to call for an ambulance at which Raj Kumar pretended to call one Shanta Nursing Home asking for an ambulance.No ambulance ever arrived at the spot.On being asked by the children as to why the ambulance was not coming, the appellant assured them that the ambulance would come.In the meantime, the appellant kept asking them repeatedly to get more water which he kept pouring into the mouth of their mother Sunita.Both the children have referred to Page 4 of 51 Raj Kumar pressing Sunita's throat and pouring water into her mouth.Sushant also stated that when he turned his back on the appellant, he saw that the appellant pressed his mother's nose while pouring water into her mouth and that her mother expired at that time.Page 4 of 51It was amidst such commotion that Prashant managed to convey the aforesaid message at his father's office before the appellant pulled out the telephone wire.In the struggle between the appellant and Prashant, a utensil in which the water had been brought, fell down.On hearing this sound, PW-4-Sushant who had gone out of the room, rushed back and saw that Raj Kumar was now throttling his brother.Upon Sushant's return to the room, Raj Kumar pretended as if he was in fact massaging his brother Prashant's neck.At this Sushant attacked Raj Kumar trying to save his brother from the clutches of Raj Kumar and also raised an alarm.He told his brother Prashant to rush out of the room.As Prashant tried to flee from the room, Raj Kumar tried to grab his leg but Prashant managed to escape his clutches.Prashant rushed to his neighbour's house (referred to as ""taiji"" on record) and returned with her to the house.In the meantime, as per PW 4-Sushant, the appellant fled through the terrace of their house, even though Sushant tried to prevent him by catching his leg.Page 5 of 51Page 5 of 51It is in the testimony of both the brothers that the clothes of the appellant were blood stained.Sushant has also testified that while fleeing, the appellant wore his father's shirt hanging on the terrace.It appears that at 1412 hrs.on 22nd September, 2003, the Police Control Room received information to the effect that one lady had been murdered in the house no.173 of Gajraj Yadav in Gali No.9 located in village Libas.The form of the police control has been exhibited as Exh PW 21/X-1 before the trial court.At 14:20 hours it is recorded that the head constable had gone there and it was stated that the SHO be sent to the spot as soon as possible.In this police control room record, at 14:35 hours, it is recorded to the effect that Sunita, wife of Gajraj, aged 30 years was alone at home when Guddu @ Raj Kumar committed the murder and ran away; that she was lying on a cot covered with a sheet and that the arrival of the SHO was being awaited.At 14:52 hours, it has been recorded that ACP had come on the spot and entered the premises.It is further recorded on the police control room form at 15:20 hours that the two sons of Sunita, wife of Gajraj, namely Prashant aged thirteen and a half years and Sushant aged twelve years returned from school when they saw Guddu@Raj Kumar son of Kanwar Singh (their Page 6 of 51 `tau'), throttling (`reta') their mother's neck.The neck of their mother had been cut; there were two knife injuries on her left hand and one knife injury on the other hand.The appellant refers to the further entry that ""Guddu ko pakkad liva"".Page 6 of 51The crime team of the North-West District, Delhi conducted an inspection on the spot from 3.22 p.m. to 4.10 p.m. As per its report, Exh.PW 21/X-2, the crime team left several instructions for the investigating officer.The local police station Samaipur Badli received information from the wireless operator on the 22nd September, 2003 itself at about 2.20 p.m. that in House No.173, Gali No.9, Libaspur, Delhi belonging to one Gajraj Singh, one person had been murdered.This information was recorded as DD No.13/A (Exh.PW 13/2) and handed over to SI Dhruv Narain through Yashpal Singh to take appropriate action.The crime team officials as well as photographers were called to the spot.The then SHO Inspector R.P. Gautam-PW 21 (who retired as ACP) proceeded to the spot at about 2:45 p.m.PW-21-SHO R.P. Gautam also made inquiries from Prashant Yadav and recorded his statement Exh.PW 3/A. In view of the statement given by Prashant and the position on the spot, an offence under Section 302 of the IPC was found to have been made out.SHO R.P. Page 7 of 51 Gautam prepared a Rukka which was sent to the police station through Constable Yashpal at 5:30 p.m. FIR No.473/2003 under Section 302 IPC was registered by the police station Samaipur Badli and DD No.17A was endorsed in this regard.PW 21/D) were prepared.It appears that at this stage, PW 11 Vineet Yadav-brother of the deceased, also reached her house at 4:15 p.m. Prashant's statement Exh.PW 3/A was recorded in his presence and investigation was undertaken by the police.The witness has stated that Sunita's husband Gajraj Singh was not present when he had reached the spot.PW 11 Vineet Yadav has supported the statements of PW 3 Prashant & PW 4-Sushant with regard to the position on the spot and the blood which was found lying on the ground as well as on the bedding which included two sheets, a `bichona', pillow cover as well as a towel.He has also supported the case of the prosecution with regard to the multiple injuries on the body of the deceased; blood stains; Page 8 of 51 samples taken by the crime team and the police; the seizure of articles; preparation of the site plan; photographs of the spot and the recording of statements.PW 11-Vinod Yadav has made a further categorical statement that the deceased was clutching a bunch of hair in her left hand and that this hair was also seized by the police.Page 8 of 51We find that the defence has extensively cross-examined PW 3 Prashant Yadav as to the manner in which he reached the house and has been unable to shake his testimony.PW 9-Sunil Yadav has corroborated PW 3 when he stated that he dropped his friend Prashant Yadav.In his testimony before the court, Sunil Yadav stated that he dropped Prashant Yadav at the Libaspur More (turning) on his cycle and left him there.Their mother Sunita used to remain in the house.On 22.9.2003 PW-3 Prashant Yadav ad PW-4 Sushant Yadav had gone to school in the morning.The school used to close at 1.30 pm and both of them used to come back at home at 2 pm.Page 24 of 51 On 22.9.2003 PW-3 Prashant Yadav was having pain in his foot as such, he came back to his house along with his friend PW-9 Sunil Yadav on his cycle at about 1.40 pm and at that time, the brother of PW-9 Sunil Yadav was was also on the cycle along with PW-3 Prashant Yadav and PW-9 Sunil Yadav.Thereafter PW-9 Sunil Yadav requested a glass of water then PW-3 Prashant Yadav rang the bell of his house and also made noise on the gate but none responded from inside the house.PW-3 thought that his mother i.e. Sunita (deceased) might have gone to the terrace for drying of clothes.What you have to say?Page 24 of 51On 22.09.2003, I was passing from outside the house of my Chacha Gajraj Singh when I heard some noise and voice of my Chachi from inside.The main gate of the house was locked from inside but side gate was open.The Page 31 of 51 prosecution was unable to prove its case that PW 6 Kavit Monga had not provided the recovered paper cutting knife to the appellant who worked as his indenting agent.It could only prove that the appellant was working as an indenting agent in his office and that paper cutting knives were used for their work.However, in the present case, the source of the knife would be irrelevant.The appellant is stated to have also taken out the blood stained black pant (Exh.PW 5/3) which he was wearing at the time of commission of the offence from beneath the sofa kept in the room of his house.The accused then led the police party to the roof of the house of PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav; pointed out towards the bathroom from where on his pointing out one blood stained sky blue shirt (Exh.PW 5/4) and a sando baniyan (Exh. PW 5/5) from beneath gunny bags of cement, and a parcel which were seized as per the seizure memo Exh.PW 5/J. These recoveries are proved by the testimonies of PW 5 Gajraj Yadav; PW 18-Head Constable Krishan Kumar Kaushik and PW 21 ACP R.P. Gautam.The sealed seized articles were kept in safe custody in the malkhana.We, however, find that in the very next sentence, PW 4 Sushant Yadav has stated that he had not personally witnessed the recovery Page 33 of 51 but had come to know about it.According to PW 14-Shyam Singh, the doctor took a hair sample of appellant Raj Kumar and converted the same into a parcel which was duly sealed and handed over to the Head Constable Krishan Kumar Kaushik vide memo Exh.PW 14/A. The testimony of PW 14-HC Shyam Singh that the hair sample of the appellant was taken, sealed and handed over to Head Constable Krishan Kumar Kaushik was corroborated by PW 20-Dr.Neeraj Chaudhary.The witness PW 20, was not cross-examined on these aspects at all.No dispute has been raised by the appellants with regard to safe custody of any of the samples.However, Ms. Ritu Gauba, learned APP for the State has drawn our attention to the testimony of PW 14-Shyam Singh , PW 16-Head Constable Ram Singh & PW 19-Constable Ranbir in this regard who have established the safe custody of the sample; its deposit with the forensic laboratory and receipt of the report.We have noticed hereinabove the several injuries in the nature of six incised wounds on the body of the deceased as well as the cut throat wound.Perusal of the photographs Exh.He proved in court his opinion as Exh.PW 7/B regarding the single edged cutting metallic knife of metallic nature with imprint of New R.K. Brand over the handle on both sides as being the weapon of offence.Dr. Anil Shandilya also gave opinion (Exh.PW 7/C) regarding the plastic handle single edged sharp blade paper cutting knife with the reddish brown stains opining that injuries mentioned in the post-mortem report (Exh.PW 7/A) including the cut throat injury might have been caused by the knives produced by the investigating officer or similar thereto.All articles/objects and samples seized or recovered were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory for forensic examination.The recovered articles which included concrete material described as blood Page 36 of 51 stained earth; the pillow with cover; bed sheet; mattress; towel; duster; few strands of hair; salwar; lady's shirt; dupatta; under clothing; blood stained gauze cloth piece (described as `blood sample'); one all metallic weapon of offence having brownish stairs; one broken weapon of offence of plastic and metallic blade; pant; shirt & baniyan; few strands of hair were marked Exh.1, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, 4, 5, 6, 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 8. 9, 10, 11, 12a, 12b & 13 by the Forensic Laboratory.Blood was detected on exhibits `1', `3a', `3b', `3d', `4', `5', `6', `7a', `7b', `7c', `7d', `8', `9', `10', `11', `12a' & `12b'.Blood could not be detected on exhibit `2'.From morphological and microscopical studies the hair in exhibits `6' & `13' were found to be human in origin.Exhibit `6' (hair recovered from the spot and from the hand of deceased) and exhibit `13' (Hair of accused) were found to be similar in most of their morphological and microscopical characteristics.""The serological analysis of the blood sample of the deceased (Exh.8) shows that the deceased was having blood group `O' Page 37 of 51Page 37 of 51It is noteworthy as per the report (Exh.PW 21/X-4) of the Forensic Science Laboratory, though human blood was identified on the two knives, its grouping, however, could not be identified.As per the report of the Forensic Science Laboratory dated 27th February, 2004 (Exh.PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav has explained that a telephone message was received at his office by another employee Smt. Indermani who got the impression that her daughter was calling on the telephone in an emergency and she requested PW 5-Gajraj Singh Yadav to take her to her residence.We have noticed above the deposition of PW 5's son Prashant who had actually telephoned his office about the injury to his mother but the phone line was pulled away by the appellant.Given the information communicated by Smt. Indermani and her request, Gajraj Singh Yadav accompanied her to her residence in Shastri Nagar where they found her daughter in normal condition.Thereafter, a telephonic message was received from the office of PW - 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav informing that the earlier message related to him and not to Smt. Indermani.PW 5 has explained that on receipt of this message, he called his house when he was informed for the first time that the condition of his wife was very serious.He thereupon took permission from his immediate boss and reached his house when he found that the police had already reached there.Analysis & ConclusionIn the instant case, on examination of the evidence which has been brought on record as well as the admissions by the appellant, the following facts have been proved beyond reasonable doubt:-(i) On 22nd September, 2003, when PW 3 Prashant and PW 4 Sushant came home from their school, they found their mother, Sunita in an injured condition on a cot in their house and blood coming out from her body which had spilt over the ground.(ii) The accused was found to be present alone in the room where the deceased was lying in an injured condition.No effort was made to call the police.(iv) The main gate of the house stood closed from inside and the son of the deceased PW 3 Prashant Yadav had to jump the gate as none responded to his ringing the bell.(v) PW 3-Prashant was asked by the appellant to close the door after he was inside and also to clean the blood which was spilt on the floor.(vi) The appellant obstructed the child from telephoning his father to inform him about the occurrence.(vii) The deceased was alive when her sons reached the house.The appellant made no effort to get medical help for her.(viii) It is in the evidence of both, PW 3 & PW 4 that instead of getting medical assistance, the appellant was pressing the nose and throat of their mother and pouring water into her mouth resulting in bubbles.Sunita expired when the appellant was doing so in the presence of her two sons.(ix) PW 3 Prashant Yadav as well as his brother PW 4 Sushant Yadav were also not permitted by the appellant from raising hue and cry.It is manifest that Page 44 of 51 no call for an ambulance was made as no ambulance from any nursing home reached the spot.Page 44 of 51(xi) PW 3 Prashant Yadav tried to get out of the room to seek help.The appellant physically prevented him from doing so.(xii) The appellant made attempts to throttle PW 3 Prashant Yadav.(xiii) Both, PW 3 & PW 4 have categorically stated that PW 4 managed to escape with difficulty and brought a neighbor to the house.The appellant then fled from the spot from the terrace of their house.(xiv) The first official record i.e. the form of the police control room (Exh.PW 21/X1) mentions the presence of the appellant, children and also that the appellant had been named by the children.(xv) The police arrested the accused next morning on 23rd September, 2003 from a spot near the house of his in-laws.(xvi) After his arrest, the appellant made a disclosure statement leading recovery of two knives (Exh.PW 5/1 & PW 5/2) and blood stained clothes worn by him.(xvii) The appellant was wearing the recovered pant, shirt and vest on 22nd September, 2003 when he was found with the injured Sunita by her two sons.Page 45 of 51 (xviii) As per the expert medical opinion, the injuries found inflicted on the body of the deceased were possible by the two recovered knives.The forensic science laboratory confirmed human blood on the blade of these two knives.His friend had left by that time.Page 1 of 51Inside the house, Prashant saw his mother-Sunita Yadav lying on the cot with blood spilt all around at which he started weeping.In the meantime, his brother Sushant Yadav also reached the house.According to Prashant, Raj Kumar dissuaded him from opening the gate for his brother Sushant but he still proceeded to do so.Sushant testifying as PW 4, stated that Prashant was weeping when he reached the house.Their mother was lying in an injured condition.Raj Kumar repeated the story to Sushant Yadav to the effect that someone had attacked his mother Sunita with a knife and thereafter escaped.The post-mortem of the deceased was conducted on 23rd September, 2003 by PW 7-Dr.Anil Shandilya.The post mortem report was proved as Exh.PW 7/A. The deceased was found to have suffered the following ante mortem injuries:-""External injuries:Clean incised stab wound 2.5 cm x 1 cm spindal shaped situated 19 cm from medial end of left clavical and 3.5 cm from midline and 11 cm from left nipple.On dissection of the wound, the wound entered the chest cavity in between the sixth and seventh rib and pierced through lungs and entered the heart.Size 2 cm x 0.5 cm spindal shaped.On dissection of the wound, the wound entered the chest cavity and pierced the lung between seventh and eighth rib.Clean incised wound in mid axilliary line 15 cm from axillia size 3 cm x 1 cm piercing the abdominal cavity.On dissection of the wound the wound pierced the spleen as mentioned already.Page 9 of 51Back of the chest clean incised stab wound 12 cm from midline and 9 cm from angle of scapula on left side.The wound entered the chest cavity and pierced the lung in between fifth and sixth rib as already mentioned.Right side back of chest 9 cm from midline and 8 cm from right angle of scapula, clean incised stab wound entering the chest cavity and piercing the lung size 2 cm x 1 cm.Multiple incised wounds skin to muscle deep in both upper limbs, nine on left and ten on right upper limb.They are all defensive wounds of varying in size.Internal Injuries:No extravassection of blood in underlying neck tissues or blood and clots in and around tissues of the wound.No foreign body in tracea and its division.Chest : Both ribs intact.Left lung linear incised cut mark size 1.8 cm x 01 cm, 2 cm x 0.1 cm and 1.9 cm x 0.2 cm, three in number present.Right lung showed linear incised cut mark size 2 cm in length.Chest cavity full of 2 ltr of liquid blood and clots.the lateral aspect size 2 cm x 0.2 cm x 1.5 cm.All visceras pale.Abdominal cavity full of liquid blood and clots.Stomach : Mucosa NAD.Abnormal smell nil.Contents - Juice like fluid about 500 ml.""Page 10 of 51Page 10 of 51As per the opinion of Dr.Anil Shandilya, the cause of death was haemorrhagic shock following multi visccral injury i.e. injury to heart, lungs and spleen.It was also opined that all the injuries were ante mortem in nature except injury no.7 which was caused by sharp weapon.On completion of the investigation, the charge-sheet was filed.By the orders passed on 30 April 2004, the charge for the offences punishable u/s 302 IPC and u/s 27 Arms Act, 1959 was framed against the petitioner.The appellant pleaded not guilty and was put to trial on the above charge.The prosecution examined 21 witnesses whereafter the learned trial Judge put the incriminating circumstances to the appellant under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. giving him an opportunity to render his explanation for the same.The appellant also opted to lead his defence and examined DW-1, his mother Premvati as the sole witness.There was no eye witness to the inflicting of injuries on the deceased and the case of the prosecution rests solely on circumstantial evidence.The appellant was heard on sentence and the afore-noticed order on sentence was passed the same day.This judgment and order on sentence are assailed before us by way of the present appeal.Page 11 of 51We may note that the prosecution was unable to prove motive for the murder and it was so concluded by the learned trial Judge.This finding has not been challenged by the prosecution.However, it is well settled that failure to prove motive would not necessarily be fatal to the prosecution case even if the case rested on circumstantial evidence.Child Testimony - ReliabilityMr. Kaushik, learned counsel for the appellant has urged that the testimonies of the two minor sons of the deceased are unnatural, improbable and full of contradictions.It is disputed that these testimonies could be relied upon to base the conviction of the appellant.Before us, it is contended that PW-3-Prashant Yadav and PW-4- Sushant Yadav have stated that they had gone to the school on their own in the morning of 22nd September, 2003 whereas their father PW-5-Gajraj Yadav has stated that he had dropped the children to the school.Page 12 of 51Page 12 of 51Learned counsel for the appellant has further submitted that the testimony of PW 3 & PW 4 is contradictory with regard to the clothes which the accused was wearing at the time.PW 3 Prashant Yadav has stated that the appellant Raj Kumar was wearing a sky blue shirt with full sleeves and black pant at the time of incident, while PW 4 Sushant Yadav has stated that the appellant was wearing a black pant, white vest and cream T-shirt.Immediately after that he deposed that he was wearing a light blue T-shirt.Thereafter he finally deposed that he was not sure of the colour of the T-shirt.Mr. Kaushik, learned counsel or the appellant has also challenged the testimony of PW 3 Prashant Yadav who had stated that his friend Sunil Yadav had accompanied him to the house as he wanted to drink water.It is urged that Sunil Yadav has appeared as PW 9 and has not supported his friend PW 3-Prashant Yadav on this aspect.Ms. Ritu Gauba, learned APP for the State has placed reliance on several judicial pronouncements on the manner in which child testimony has to be evaluated.In this regard, she has drawn our attention to the judgment reported at (2010) 12 SCC 324 State of Uttar Pradesh Vs.Krishna Master & Ors.; (2011) 4 SCC 786 State of Madhya Pradesh Vs.Ramesh & Anr.& (2012) 4 SCC 559 Promode Dey Vs.State of West Bengal.Page 13 of 51Page 13 of 51In the Krishna Master case supra, a child, aged six years at the time of occurrence in the dead of the night, was an eye witness to the incident.He had given evidence in a simple manner without making any noticeable improvements and/or embellishments.The defence had set up a case of false implication.The child was the sole witness to the incident.This witness has claimed on oath before the Court that he had seen five members of his family being ruthlessly killed by the respondents by firing gun shots.When a child of tender age witnesses gruesome murder of his father, mother, brothers etc. he is not likely to forget the incident for his whole life and would certainly recapitulate facts in his memory when asked about the same at any point of time, notwithstanding the gap of about ten years between the incident and recording of his evidence.This Court is of the firm opinion that it would be doing injustice to a child witness possessing sharp memory to say that it is inconceivable for him to recapitulate facts in his memory witnessed by him Page 14 of 51 long ago.A child of tender age is always receptive to abnormal events which take place in its life and would never forget those events for the rest of his life.The child would be able to recapitulate correctly and exactly when asked about the same in future.Therefore, the spacious ground on which the reliable testimony of PW2, Madan Lal came to be disbelieved can hardly be affirmed by this Court.""The appellant obstructed their contacting their father or seeking help otherwise for their mother.They witnessed their mother dying before their very eyes.In other words even in the absence of oath the evidence of a child witness can be considered under Section 118 of the Evidence Act provided that such witness is able to understand the questions and able to give rational answers thereof.I went inside and say my chachi Sunita Yadav was lying injured and blood was coming out.I asked her who had injured her but she could not tell.She asked me for a glass of water.In the meantime, her son Prashant Yadav returned from the school.I told him that someone had injured his mother and ran away and asked him to bring water as Sunita Yadav was asking for same and I thereafter telephoned Shanta Nursing Home for calling of an Ambulance.Sunita Yadav was breathing heavily at that time and I further asked Prashant to call his father Gajraj also and inform him about the said incident as I di not know the phone number of gajraj Yadav (Chacha).I do not know how did Prashant return from school.No person with the name of Sunil Yadav had accompanied Prashant when he came back from the school and nobody rung any bell"".The appellant has thus admitted that PW 3 & PW 4 had also reached the spot while he was there and that Sunita Yadav was alive at that time.Page 25 of 51Page 26 of 51 We have noticed heretofore several pronouncements wherein the Supreme Court has categorically held that the testimony of a child witness relating to circumstances in which his parents has suffered injury, deserves to be accepted, if otherwise found reliable.Page 26 of 51The children have also spoken in one voice with regard to what transpired after they had entered the room where their injured mother was lying.As per the evidence on record, PW 3-Prashant Yadav and PW 4 Sushant Yadav found their mother Sunita in an injured condition when they reached home on 22nd September, 2003 from school.She was injured and profusely bleeding.The gate and doors of the house were locked from inside.They both deposed that Raj Kumar @ Guddu was pressing Sunita's throat and pouring water into her mouth.It is in the testimony of PW 4-Sushant Yadav that the appellant had even pressed her nose closed while pouring water into her mouth.There is no contradiction at all in their statements with regard to the events which transpired after they returned home from school.The appellant was found inside the house alone with a badly injured Sunita.His conduct was odd and not normal.No contradiction or improvement in material particular in their evidence has been pointed out.PW 3 & 4 are truthful witnesses who Page 27 of 51 have given cogent and reliable evidence noticed above and have been rightly relied upon by the learned trial Judge.Challenge to time of Arrest of AppellantPage 27 of 51Learned counsel for the appellant has attempted to support his challenge to the arrest of the appellant placing reliance on an illegible portion of a noting on Police Control Room Record Exh. PW 21/X1 recorded at 15:20 hours.At the end of this note, the person scribbling the same has endorsed the words ""Guddu ko pakad liva"".Mr. Kaushik, learned counsel for the appellant has also drawn our attention to the testimony of PW 3-Prashant Yadav who has stated that Raj Kumar @ Guddu was caught by the police on the date of the incident at about 4.00 p.m. However, this statement is not supported by the witness who has categorically testified that he was not present Page 28 of 51 when the accused was apprehended and that he (PW-5) came to know that the accused was apprehended from his house.The witness has only deposed that Raj Kumar was present in the police station where he had gone to sign the statement.No clarification has been sought by the defence with regard to the date or time at which the statement of Prashant Yadav was signed by him.Nothing has been put to the investigating officer in this regard.Page 28 of 51As per the prosecution, the appellant was arrested on 23rd September, 2003 at around 6.50 a.m. from Sant Nagar Burari bus stand.Ms. Ritu Gauba, learned APP has pointed out that after the appellant fled from the scene of occurrence, he could not be traced out despite best efforts by the police.We find that as per the arrest memo (Exh.PW 5/A) the appellant was arrested by PW 21-Retired ACP R.P. Gautam on 23rd September, 2003 at 6.30 a.m. from the main road, Sant Nagar, Burari in the presence of PW 5-Gajraj Singh and HC Krishnan.PW 5 Gajraj Singh a witness to the arrest, has stated that the appellant was arrested on that location in Sant Nagar Burari where his in-laws stay.The arrest of the appellant is also corroborated also by the testimony of PW 18 Head Constable Krishan Kumar Kaushik and PW 21-Shri R.P. Gautam.No question has been put with regard thereto on behalf of the appellant to the witness.Even in his own statement, it is not the appellant's case that he was arrested at the spot.We find no discrepancy in the evidence with regard to the appellant's arrest.The reliance on the contents of Exh.Disclosure & Recovery of two knives pursuant theretoIt is also in the evidence of PW 21 Shri R.P. Gautam that after his arrest, the appellant had made a disclosure statement Exh.PW 5/D leading to the recovery, on his pointing out, of two blood stained knives from the room on the first floor of his house which had been hidden in a packed fridge.It is stated that one knife was an iron knife and while the other was a paper cutting knife.The sketch of the iron knife was prepared which was proved on record as Exh.PW 5/F while the sketch of the paper cutting knife was proved as Exh.PW 5/G. The Page 30 of 51 two knives were kept in a separate seal vide Exh.PW 5/E by PW 21-R.P. Gautam.The seizure memo of the knives was proved on record as Exh.PW 5/E.Page 30 of 51The disclosure statement Exh.PW 5/D was proved in the testimony of PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav as well as PW 21 Shri R.P. Gautam.These witnesses also identified the paper cutting knife as Exh.PW 5/1 and the metallic knife as Exh.PW 5/2 in the court room.The recovery of these two knives on 23rd September 2003, was also pro",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ placing reliance on the testimonies of PW 5, PW 7 & PW 21 as well as the forensic science laboratory report.The appellant has not made out any ground before us as well to reject the authenticity thereof.Recovery of clothes of accused worn at the time of commission of the offence.After his arrest on the 23rd September, the appellant made afore-noticed disclosure statement, Exh.PW 5/D wherein he disclosed that the blood stained shirt and vest (baniyan) which he was wearing at the time of the incident in the bathroom in the roof of the house of Gajraj Singh Yadav which he could get recovered as also the recovery of the pant worn by him at that time.It is in the evidence of the Page 32 of 51 witnesses that the accused thereafter led the police authority to his House No.120, Gali No.10, Libaspur, Delhi.Page 32 of 51Therefore, Sushant Yadav's statement that the police has recovered the t-shirt and vest on the date of the incident is not based on personal knowledge and no significance can be attached to this part of the deposition.Page 33 of 51The appellant has thus been unable to challenge either the admissibility of the disclosure by the appellant to the extent of the recovery or the authenticity of the recoveries at all.Weapon of offence and forensic examination of recovered articlesMs. Ritu Gauba, learned APP for the State has also pointed out that the blood stained clothes of the deceased seized by the police were sealed with the seal of the Medical Superintendent, Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, Jahangir Puri, Delhi.It is in the testimony of PW 11-Shri Vineet Yadav; PW -20 Dr. Neeraj Chaudhary; PW 21-retired ACP R.P. Gautam & PW 22-Jag Narayan that in her left hand, the deceased Sunita was clutching a bunch of hair.The hair which the deceased was clutching was seized by PW 21-Retired ACP RP Gautam.After the arrest of the accused, he was taken for a medical examination to the Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital, Jahangir Puri, Delhi for medical examination where he has examined by Dr.Manohar Kumar Nirala.Page 34 of 51Page 34 of 51In order to prove the medical examination of the appellant as well as the drawing of the sample, the prosecution examined PW 20-Dr.Neeraj Chaudhary who had proved the record prepared by Dr. Manohar Kumar Nirala, the examining doctor.PW 12/1- Exh.PW 12/8 Page 35 of 51 of the dead body also reflected that the injuries were inflicted by sharp edged weapon which could have been by the knife in question.To establish that the knives were the weapons of offence and whether the two knives recovered at the instance of the accused persons were the weapon of offence, the prosecution examined PW 7 Dr. Anil Shandilya who had conducted the post-mortem.Page 35 of 51Pursuant to an application being Exh.PW 21/X by the investigating officer before Dr. Anil Shandilya for obtaining his opinion with regard to the two recovered knives, PW 7 Dr. Shandilya examined the two knives.Page 36 of 51The report of the Forensic Science Laboratory dated 27 th February," 2004 (Exh.PW 21/X-3) reported the following on the forensic examination:-""""RESULTS OF ANALYSISPW 21/X 3)", the microbiological study of the hair samples showed that they were human in origin and similar in most of their morphological and microbiological characteristics.This indicates that the deceased was clutching the hair of the appellant in her left hand at the time of her death.Conduct of husband of the deceasedMr. Kaushik, learned counsel for the appellant, has challenged the conduct of PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav urging that there are contradictions in the statements of various witnesses with regard to the time at which PW 5-Gajraj Singh had reached the spot.Reference in this regard is made to the testimony of PW 21 R.P. Gautam who has stated that he reached the spot at 3.00 p.m. when Gajraj Singh Yadav, husband of the deceased Sunita Yadav, was present.As against this, PW 11-Vineet Yadav-the brother of deceased Sunita who reached the spot at about 4.00 p.m., has categorically stated that Gajraj was not present at the spot when he had reached there.Page 38 of 51Page 38 of 51His sons Prashant and Sushant told him that the appellant had murdered his wife Sunita Yadav and run away from the spot by way of the terrace.The testimony of PW 5 Gajraj Singh could not be shaken in cross- examination.Page 39 of 51Page 39 of 51The appellant opted to lead defence and examined his mother Smt.Premvati as the sole witness who stated that the appellant was a person of good behavior and was innocent.She claimed that PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav was having disputes with her husband (brother of Gajraj Singh Yadav); that her husband was missing since 10-12 years and that Gajraj Singh was taking revenge from her son, the present appellant for which reason he had falsely implicated him.She also claimed that the appellant had been lifted from their house.PW 5 Gajraj Singh had denied all suggestions to the above facts.The absence of PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav (husband of the deceased) from the spot when PW 2 R.P. Gautam reached the spot and conducted the inspection is also manifested from the fact that memos of various items seized from the spot by PW 21-ACP R.P. Yadav have not been witnessed by Gajraj Singh Yadav, who would have been a natural witness if he had been present.On the contrary, the seizure memos contain the signatures of PW 11-Vineet Yadav as witness.None of the other witnesses have stated that Gajraj Yadav was present at the spot at that time.It is also not the case of the appellant that he had seen Gajraj Singh Yadav anywhere near the spot at the time of the occurrence.In this background, the statement of PW 21 R.P. Gautam with regard to Page 40 of 51 the presence of PW 5 Gajraj Singh is mistaken.It is also not of such significance or a contradiction in material particulars so as to dent the prosecution case in any manner.Nothing therefore turns on the statement of PW 21 with regard to the presence of PW 5 Gajraj Singh yadav in view of the other convincing evidence on the issue.Page 40 of 51This question was put to PW 5 Gajraj Singh in his cross-examination when he explained that because his two children (Prashant and Sushant) were of tender ages and there was none to look after them, under social pressure his family had observed the final ceremony (Chhamai) relating to the death of his wife Sunita so that he could be remarried.He has further stated that after the expiry of one year from her death, the traditional anniversary was also observed.The witness remarried only after performing `chhamai' ceremony.The witness has denied the suggestion of the defence side to the effect that he had got married two months after the death of his wife because he had an affair with another lady during the lifetime of his wife.The defence led no evidence to establish such affair.There is no evidence also of any prior relationship of PW 5 with his second wife.Page 41 of 51 We, therefore, find no reason to doubt the explanation given by PW-5- Gajraj Singh Yadav.In any case, it is not the case of the appellant that PW 5 Gajraj Singh Yadav was in any way responsible for or instrumental in the murder of Sunita Yadav.Page 41 of 51Failure to examine a witnessA half hearted submission has been made on behalf of the appellant to the effect that though Prashant and Sushant Yadav have stated that their Taiji came to the spot, she has not been examined as a witness.We may note that in answer to the question by the court in his statement under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C., the appellant has admitted that Taiji was brought to the spot by Prashant Yadav.She, in any event, is not witness to the crime or to any of the events which transpired thereafter.Her testimony is wholly irrelevant for the purposes of the present case.Ms. Ritu Gauba, learned APP has placed reliance on the judgment reported at (2011) 1 SCC (Crl) 381 State of Uttar Pradesh Vs.Krishna Master & Ors.so far as choice of a witness is concerned.It is submitted that in this pronouncement, it was held that it was the prerogative of the public prosecutor to decide who has to be examined as a witness.Page 42 of 51Page 42 of 51(x) The appellant made the pretence of calling an ambulance from a private nursing home which never reached the spot.Page 45 of 51(xix) The report of the Forensic Science Laboratory confirmed that the blood group `O' which was the blood group of the deceased was present on the pant, vest as well as shirt worn by the appellant on 22nd September, 2003 which were recovered at his instance.(xx) The forensic examination also confirmed human blood on the knives recovered at the instance of the appellant which have been established as the weapons of offence.(xxi) The forensic examination report confirmed that the deceased was clutching hair which was similar in morphology and microscopical character to that of the appellant in her left hand.(xxii) The injuries found on the deceased were sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature and all injuries were ante-mortem in nature.The appellant has failed to render any explanation at all for any of the above circumstances.His explanation to the effect that some intruder caused the injuries and ran away is rendered unacceptable given his conduct in not raising a hue & cry even, let alone giving a hot Page 46 of 51 pursuit to the attacker and the above circumstances and evidence on record.Instead, the appellant was found inside the room with the doors of the house bolted from within and blood on his clothes.The appellant's conduct even thereafter was suspicious as he failed to get medical help for the deceased, who was still alive then, and prevented her sons from informing her husband or getting help.The appellants actions in physically pulling out the telephone line, attempting to throttle one son and preventing the other son from reaching other persons and seeking help, pouring water into her mouth, pressing the throat of the deceased was highly unnatural and does not inspire any confidence.On the contrary, these circumstances point towards the guilt of the appellant.Instead of being concerned with the life of the dangerously injured lady, he compelled her children to mop her

P.

+"""The deviding line between hunger and anger is very thin.""True it is keen demands of appetite substantially governs men's actions.A hungry man looses control over his thinking ability, rational approach and sense of proportion and indulges in uncalled for acts which under normal circumstances he would not have conceived of.His action become an embodiment of insensitivity of finer human emotions.Here is a sad story where a man of 32 years, when informed about non-availability of food forgetting the relationship and abdicating his rational thoughts as well as human considerations, he assaulted his paternal grand-mother, a feeble old lady, who succumbed to the injuries.The prosecution story, as unfurled, is that on 26-12-93 in Village Tokni, the deceased Ojebai, Kamubai (PW-4) and Guddi alias Manotabai (PW-5) had finished their dinner and were in their house.At about 9 p.m. the accused came and asked Guddi for food.Reply came from Ojebai that there was no food at home.Blood rushed into the hand of the accused and he assaulted Kamubai, his mother and Guddi, his sister.Thereafter he brought out an axe and assaulted Ojebai on her head, chest, back and the right hand.Kamubai went to the house of Roshanlal (PW-2) and informed him about the incident.Roshanlal came to the house of Renubai and found Ojebai was lying dead.Next day, Roshanlal, Hari (PW-3) and some others came to the house of Renubai who narrated the entire incident.The investigating agency did 'panchnama' of the dead-body (Ex. P-6).The dead-body was sent for post-mortem.John Steinteck, the nobel laureate wrote thus :-Renubai and Guddi were also sent for medical examination.There medical examination reports are (Ex. P-13) and (Ex. P-14).The accused led to the discovery of the axe which was seized under (Ex. P-4).The sample earth from the spot and the clothes kept on the bed of the deceased were sent for chemical examination.The accused abjured his guilt and pleaded false implication : It is his further plea that he has been implicated falsely due to pre-existing dispute with regard to ancestral property.To substantiate the charge against the accused the prosecution examined 10 witnesses.PW-1 Shivlal is uncle of the accused who has been declared hostile; PW-2, Roshanlal who had arrived immediately at the place of occurrence; PW-3 is Hari; PW-4, Renubai is the mother of the accused; PW-6 is Guddi, the sister of the accused; PWs-5, 6, 7 and 8 are the formal witnesses; PW-9 is the Sub-Inspector attached to Navgaon Police Station who had conducted investigation; and PW-10 is Dr. N. R. Azad who had conducted the post-mortem examination.Apart from adducing oral evidence the prosecution also marked number of documents in furtherance of its case.On consideration of the oral, documentary and medical evidence on record the learned Sessions Judge came to hold that the accused had assaulted his grand-mother, mother and sister.However, considering the facts and circumstances of the case, he convicted the accused under Section 304-II of the Indian Penal Code for the assault on Ojebai and under Section 323, IPC in relation to assault on PWs-4 and 5, the mother and sister and sentenced him for seven years rigorous imprisonment for the offence, under Section 304-II and for six months imprisonment under Section 323, IPC, with a further stipulation that both the sentences would run concurrently.Mr. Dipak Okhade, learned panel Advocate for the State has supported the impugned judgment for the reasons indicated therein.He has further proponed that the Court below has rightly accepted the version of PWs-4 and 5 who are no other than the mother and sister of the accused, and as they had no axe to grind against him their evidence has to be given due weightage.To appreciate the rival contention raised at par, I have perused the impugned judgment with utmost anxiety and closely gone through the evidence on record with the assistance of the learned counsel for the parties.Dr. Azad, who had conducted the post-mortem examination has observed that the number of injuries found on the dead-body of the deceased, were sufficient to cause death.He has also strongly relied upon (Ex. P-4), the memorandum under which the weapon used was recovered at the instance of the accused.On a close scrutiny of the evidence of PW-4, the mother of the accused, it is already perceptible that the accused had assaulted with an axe on the head and other parts of the body of Ojebai and there was prefuse bleeding.She has also stated that Ojebai died inside the house because of the injuries sustained by her.She has remained embodied in her version.As far as her information to Shivlal, Roshanlal, Vinti and Hari is concerned she has deposed with clarity.She has proved the FIR and has remained unshaken in the cross-examination.She has also explained the reasons for not lodging the FIR in the night itself.PW-5 is the sister of the accused.She has narrated vividly with regard to the altercation between the deceased and the accused relating to non-availability of food at home.She has also deposed that the accused had assaulted her and her mother.She has clearly stated with regard to the assault on Ojebai.Nothing has been elicited in the cross-examination to discard her testimony.There is no reason on the part of the mother and the sister, who have no axe to grind against the accused to implicate him.There is no suggestion to any of the witnesses that there has been some dispute with regard to the landed property and, therefore, these two witnesses have implicated him to gain advantage.In fact, suggestion is to effect that she had already gone to the flour grinding machine and there she sustained injuries and her life spork was extinguished.On a perusal of their testimony I find that it is unimpeachable and absolutely trustworhty.Quite apart from above, there is material on record that the accused has led to the discovery of the weapon used in the crime.The weapon on the question was hidden on the slope of the house.There is evidence on record that he had given recovery in presence of witnesses.Appreciating the evidence of PWs-4 and 5 juxtaposed with leading to discovery of the weapon used there is no reason to disbelieve the version propounded by the prosecution.On a perusal of the materials on record and the aforesaid evidence I am of the considered view that the conclusions arrived at by the learned trial Judge has to have the stamp of approval of the Court.Now to the question of sentence, Ku.Kiran Mehta, learned counsel for the appellant has seriously pressed that the appellant should not have been sentenced for seven years RI and the said sentence is quite excessive.She has further highlighted that the appellant was not given food and therefore, he got into an emotional fury and assaulted.She has tried to impress upon this Court that the appellant belongs to backward area of the State, where finer sentiments have not yet been cultivated, hence he committed the crime without any intention or motive.As factual scenario is potrayed by the prosecution the accused assaulted the sister and mother.There was altercation with regard to the food.The state of hunger worked as a catalyst giving rise to uncontrollable anger.The special backdrop, the milieu to which the appellant belongs, the peculiar facts and circumstances in which the crime had occurred, the absence of criminal antecedents of the accused are certain aspects to be taken into consideration while imposing sentence.On overall consideration of the factual matrix, I am of the considered view a sentence of five years RI for the offence under Section 304-II would be meet and proper.Accordingly, the custodial sentence of seven years for the aforesaid offence is reduced to five years.","['Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal

+"The facts are brief.They have been living with their children in a compound where there arc 4 or 5 hours, Pappathi Ammal had been confined within four weeks before the commission of this offence.It would also appear that she was unwell from diarrhoea and fever after child birth.On account of the poverty and inability to secure other help she had to do her household chores.They started searching the compound.Then they heard a noise from within the well.They found the accused within the well.They raised an alarm.A crowd of people gathered.A ladder was brought and set inside the wed.The accused came out of the well climbing the ladder.On coming out of the well she was enquired about the child.The accused stated that the child was inside the well.Thereupon P.W. 1 made a written report to the Police at 7-30 A.M. in the morning.When she is treated she would get better.She was ""alright after delivery till about 4 days before the incident.From four days before the incident she was not alright in her mind and had fever"".Then he was treated as hostitle and cross-examined by the Public Prosecutor.Then he stated:JUDGMENT Ramaswami, J.Therefore, she seems to have been depressed and fed up with her life.On the night of 28-10-1957 the landlady P.W. 2 heard the noise of a splash and she woke up and found lights burning in the house of the accused.Therefore, she went and woke up P.W. 1, the husband of the accused, and told him what she had heard.They found the accused missing.The Police came to the spot, took out the child whose legs were protruding over the surface of the water in the well.Inquest was held and Investigation followed.The accused was charge sheeted for the murder of the! child and for attempt-ling to commit suicide.These facts are spoken to by the husband Of the accused P.W. I, the landlady P.W. 2 and the other people who came there P.Ws. 3 to 5 and the Doctor P.W. 6 who spoke to the death of the child due to asphyxia due to drowning.The case set up for the accused was that she was a sleep walker or somnambulist, that during such sleep walking she must have walked into the well with the child and that by reason of that somnambulism when the offence was committed, the accused would be entitled to the benefit of section 84 l.The learned Sessions Judge disbelieved as a fact the somnambulism attributed to the accused and secondly that somnambulism would not amount to that unsoundness of mind and incapacity of knowing the nature of the act or knowing what she or he was doing was cither wrong or contrary to law, contemplated under Section 84 I.P.C. The learned Sessions Judge therefore convicted the accused under Section 302 I.P.C. and sentenced her to imprisonment for life.He also convicted her under Section 309 I.P.C. and sentenced her to simple imprisonment for one year.The sentences were made to run concurrently.Three points which fall for determination in this appeal are: whether the accused was a somnambulist at the time of the commission of the offences; secondly, whether somnambulism would amount to that insanity contemplated under Section 84 I.P.C. and thirdly, the scope and extent of the plea of insanity open to the accused in the circumstances of this case.Point 1:-- It has not been shown as a fact that the accused was a somnambulist or a sleep walker.P.W. 1 the husband of the accused first stated in chief-examination:She was treated by magician and she became alright.After that she used to get bewitched at intervals.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 2 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The prosecution case briefly stated is as follows :The victim PW 5 Shila De was given in marriage with the appellant Meghnath De of Bhairabdangaon 11th Ashar, 1397 B.S. After the marriage she joined her husband in the Matrimonial House at Bhairabadanga village on 3rd Kartik, 1397 B.S. corresponding to 21st Oct. 1990 according to English Calendar.When she was watching closely a television programme at about 7.50 p.m. the victim Shila went out of the house and after a while returned to the courtyard of the house of P.W. 1 Tulshi Charan Bhuin who is the father of the victim in naked condition and fell down in the courtyard suddenly.PW 1, who is the informant in this case had seen several injuries on the face of his daughter PW 5 and also on different portions of her body.Shila had bleeding injuries oh her mouth.It was noticed further that teeth of her upper gum were uprooted on account of severe assault on her face.Therefore, PW 1 immediately shifted Shila to Sonamukhi Police Station and from there, under the advice of the police, the victim was shifted to Sonamukhi Hospital and subsequently to B.S.M.C. Hospital through one Swapan Bhuin.P.W. 1 Tulshi Bhuin submitted a written information at Sonamukhi Police Station which was treated as F.I.R. Tulshi Bhuin subsequently came to know about the incident from one Sunil Bhuin who narrated to have seen the victim and her husband, namely, the appellant together.Ranjit Bhuin also told to have been them together sitting by the side of a well which was situated near the house on the date of the incident.Shila, the daughter of Tulshi after admission in the Medical College Hospital reported to Tulshi Bhuin that her husband caused those injuries by striking her with a knife .JUDGMENT Basudev Panigrahi, J.This appeal has been filed against the judgment passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bankura in S.T. No. 5 (1)92 dated 24th Nov. 1993 whereby the appellant was convicted under Section 307, IPC and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of seven years and to pay fine of Rs. 2,000/- in default to suffer further rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months. .The Sonamukhi Police Station after treating the written complaint as F.I.R. proceeded with the investigation of the case and after such investigation was closed, placed the charge sheet against the appellant.The learned Additional Sessions Judge, Bankura after careful consideration of the evidence of the prosecution was, however, inclined to record an order of conviction and sentence the appellant to undergo rigorous imprisonment of a period of seven years and to pay fine of Rupees 2000/- in default to suffer further rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months.Therefore, being aggrieved by such conviction and sentence the appellant filed this appeal.Mr. Roy, the learned senior advocate appearing for the appellant has invited our attention to several inherent infirmities and improbabilities.He strongly urged that although the injury was alleged to have been inflicted by the appellant on the person of the victim on 21st Oct. 1990 but till 6th of Nov. 1990 there was no disclosure either by the victim or by her father or by any other witness.Only the name of the appellant was disclosed on 6-11-1990 and thereafter he was arrested on 8th Nov. 1990 although the Investigating Officer in his evidence, in clear and unambiguous term deposed to have gone to the Medical College Hospital twice and recorded her statement.It is not understood why the Investigating Officer, who is PW 11 did not record the incident on 21st Oct. 1990 although her statement was recorded on that day.It has also been contended by the appellant that the prosecution has cooked up a case falsely to implicate the appellant without any material.P.W. 5 Shila De in her evidence stated that her husband persuaded to terminate an early pregnancy because she had not then attained sufficient age.She further stated to have agreed to the proposal of her husband.It has been deposed that on the Jamdwitya day the appellant came to her village and at the time she was standing near her house.Then, they went towards the well of their village.After reaching at the well, her husband pursuaded to undress herself.Thereafter she was given some medicine.After she was stripped herself of her clothes, her husband with help of a root touched her body.After a while her husband standing at the back assaulted her by a big knife, as a result of which she received severe injuries over her neck, cheek and also on knee.In such helpless bleeding state she ran towards her house and fell down on the courtyard.It has been-deposed that her husband had some extra marital relation with another lady.Mr. Roy, the learned senior advocate appearing for the appellant has invited our attention that the victim has woven a ""cock and bullstory"" only with a view to falsely implicate the appellant.It has been submitted that no husband with the sense of honour will ever ask his wife to take off her clothes on the public road near a well to the sight of the others.. It was further contended by the appellant that the well is situated by the side of a village road which has been used by the villagers for making ingress and egress to the village.It is, therefore, impossible that any sensible person would ask his own wife to disrobe her clothes for administering some roots at the sight of the others.PW 11 made a categorical statement that Shila, the.PW.5, did not state before him that her husband had any love with a girl of Bhairabdanga.Therefore, in such view of the case, it cannot for a moment be believed that there was any motive of the husband for causing such severe bleeding injuries.The appellant has also placed another circumstance which might belie the prosecution case.That the evidence of PW 5 Shila, disclosed that immediately after the injury she ran to her house and fell down on the courtyard.From the statement of PW 1 it does not disclose that she was senseless.She was immediately carried to the police station and thereafter to the hospital.Till she was examined for the second time she had not disclosed the name of her assailant.Had she known that the appellant was the author of the crime, she could not have faltered to utter his name immediately to her father or at the police station.Such non-disclosure of the name of the appellant goes a long way in proving his innocence.It has been stated that the appellant came on 'Jamdwitya' day around 7-15 p.m. In that event how had at that time the victim, PW 5 gone to the village road so that both of them met each other and thereafter the appellant pursuaded her to accompany him to the well.This also improbabilised the prosecution story.PW. 1, the father of the victim in his evidence narrated that his daughter lost her teeth of the upper gum which were found to have been uprooted due to assault.PW 5, the victim herself did not support the version of her father that due to such assault she lost her teeth, nor the medical report disclosed that there was any loss of teeth.The medical officer who had examined the injured PW 5, has not stated in the report the length, size and depth of the injury.The nature of the injuries have been peculiarly not described in the injury report.In the absence of such description it is very difficult to determine as to the nature of injury said to have been sustained by PW-5 .The prosecution relied upon the evidence of PW 8 Sunil Bhuin.It has been contended that he had seen the appellant and PW 5 Shila going together towards the well near the house of Tulshi.Accordingly, the appellant be set at liberty forthwith.",['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Gangubai Nisal, P.W. 3 was married to Santu Nisal about three years prior to the incident.Ever since her marriage, she was living with Santu in village Nalegaon within the limits of Taluka Dindori, District Nasik.She was the second wife of Santu.The name of the first wife has not come in evidence.All the three respondents are also said to be residents of village Nalegaon.On 28-7-1983, her husband Santu along with his first wife had gone to the field for agricultural operations.It was decided that she would carry food to the field.At about 11/11.30 a.m. after preparing the food, she set out for the field.On the way, she stopped at the shop of the respondent Suresh in order to buy a match-box.Before entering the shop, she kept the food and the blanket which she was carrying outside the shop.As soon as she entered the shop, she found that the three respondents namely Suresh, Sahebu and Damu were present.She asked Suresh to give a match-box.Sahebu thereupon caught hold of both her hands and dragged her inside the middle room.It appears that the shop of Suresh was housed in one of the rooms of his residential premises.Thereafter, Sahebu stuffed cloth inside her mouth; pressed her breasts; and Damu took off her sari.During the trial, she was shown the sari and blouse which she was putting on and she recognised them.The evidence of the prosecutrix is that after being raped, she went to her house.In the evening, her husband Santu along with his first wife came home.At that time, she was shivering.Evidence of both the prosecutrix and her husband Santu shows that she was carrying pregnancy.Santu deposed that when he reached home, she was unable to speak.But, after sometime, she disclosed to him that the respondents had raped her.Santu had a feeling that the prosecutrix may not survive.Consequently, he and his first wife started fomenting her abdomen.Next evening (evening of 29-7-1983) the prosecutrix aborted.The evidence of Santu is that on account of her pregnancy, and abortion, she was in a state of bad health.Evidence of Santu shows that the day following the abortion of the prosecutrix, Gangubai, he took her to police station, Dindori.3) No matting of public hair.4) Swab taken from post fornixShe is habitual of intercourse.""In short, theevidence of the prosecutrix is that on the date of the incident, namely on 28-7-1983, her husband Santu with his first wife had gone to the field and had asked her to bring food during the course of the day.At about 11/11.30 a.m. after cooking the food, she proceeded for the field.On the way, she stopped to buy a match-box, from the shop of respondent-Suresh.ORDER Vishnu Sahai, J.The appellant aggrieved by the judgment and order dated 11-5-1984, passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Nasik, in Sessions Case No. 117 of 1983, acquitting the respondents for an offence punishable under section 376 I.P.C. and 342 I.P.C., has preferred the present appeal under section 378(1)Briefly stated the prosecution case as emerging from the evidence of the prosecutrix Gangubai Nisal, runs as follows :---Then, she was subjected to the traumatic experience of being raped by all the three respondents.First Sahebu raped her.Next, Damu raped her and finally Suresh raped her.It is said that the said persons raped her after latching the door from inside.On being shown the lock (Article 2) in the Court, she identified the same.It appears that after she had been ravished, by the three respondents, her brother-in-law Shankar came to purchase a tobacco packet from the shop.He kicked the door of the shop after asking as to who was inside it.Thereupon, Suresh opened the door and took her out of the shop and sent her home after kicking her.As she was not in her senses, she did not disclose the incident to Shankar.It is alleged that while being raped, she was putting on a string of black beads around her neck and the same was broken.That day i.e. on 30-7-1983, at 4 p.m. Gangubai lodged an F.I.R. at Police Station Dindori.After registering the case on the basis of the F.I.R., head constable Madhukar Jadhav, prepared a Yadi and sent Gangubai for medical examination to Primary Health Centre, Dindori.She was examined there, the same day (30-7-1983) at 4.30 p.m. On examining her, the doctor found as under :---""1) No mark of violence such as scratches, bruises, on back, forearm, wrist, breast, chest, inner aspect of thighs and on bullock.2) Mo blood or seminal stains on weared clothes at the time of exam.As per the dictation of Dr. (Mrs.) Sulay, Dr. Anand Kakade, RW. 6, noted down the findings.The reason for this unusual practice, which emerges from the evidence of Dr. Kakade is that Dr. (Mrs) Sulay toid him that she did not want to note down the findings in her own hand because, if she did so, she would be required to attend the Court.The learned trial Judge rightly, in our Judgment, has deprecated this attitude of Dr. (Mrs) Sulay.Dr. (Mrs) Sulay told Dr. Anand Kakade that excepting bulkiness of uterus, she did not find any positive finding suggesting recent abortion.Evidence of Dr. Kakade also is to the effect that in order to ascertain whether Gangubai had contracted pregnancy, she was referred to Dr. Kotwal, who was a Pathalogist.Dr. Kotwal gave a certificate in the negative after the pregnancy test.The investigation was conducted in the usual manner by P.W. 7 Madhukar Jadhav, P.W. 8 Vasant Naik, Police Jamadar and a P.S.I. whose name has not come in the evidence.Evidence of Police Jamadar Vasant Naik is that on 31-7-1983, he visited the place of the incident.He found broken string of black beads lying in the house and seized the same under a panchanama.He examined P.W. 5 Santu, P.W. 4 Shankar and some others the same day.He called the three respondents at the office of the Gram Panchayat and arrested them.He thereafter, sent them for medical examination to Primary Health Centre, Dindori.They were examined there on 31 -7-83 and no scratches were found on their person.7A. It is said that during the course of the investigation, sari and blouse which the prosecutrix was putting on at the time of the incident and the clothes which the respondents were putting on, were seized under a panchanama.We are not going deeper into this aspect because, the evidence in respect of recoveries of clothes from the prosecutrix and the respondents does not inspire any confidence.Out of two public panchas, Rajaram Raut, P.W. 1 candidly stated that nothing was seized in his presence from the respondents and Gangubai did not produce her sari and blouse in his presence.The second panch Gopala Hari, P.W. 2 turned hostile.After completion of the investigation, the respondents were charge-sheeted.The case was committed to the Court of Sessions in the usual manner.To the said charges, they pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.During the trial, in all, the prosecution examined 8 witnesses.Only one of them, Gangubai, is an eye-witness of the incident.In defence, no witness was examined.After recording the evidence adduced by the prosecution; the statement of the respondents under section 313 Cr.P.C.; and hearing the learned Counsel for the parties, the learned trial Judge acquitted the respondents under both the counts.It is this acquittal of theirs, which has been impugned by the appellant-the State of Maharashtra, through the present appeal.We have heard Mr. R.S. Deshpande, Additional Public Prosecutor for the appellant and Mr. V.Z. Kankaria for the respondents.At that time, inside the said shop the respondents Suresh Sahebu and Damu were present.Instead of giving her a match-box, Suresh dragged her inside the middle room, Damu put on the latch; thereafter, Sahebu stuffed a cloth in her mouth; pressed her breasts; and Damu took off her sari.Then, all of them by turns raped her; first Sahebu, then Damu and finally Suresh.From her evidence, it appears that after she had been ravished by all the respondents, her brother-in-law Shankar, came as he had to buy a tobacco packet from Suresh's shop.He kicked the door of the shop.Suresh opened the door of the shop.Thereafter, Suresh forcibly took her out from the shop and after kicking her, asked her to go home.She stated that she was not in her senses and hence did not tell Shankar anything.Thereafter, she went to her house.In the evening, Santu with his first wife came.She was in pains and agony and the same must have been aggravated on account of the respondents raping her because, the evidence is she was carrying pregnancy.Sometimes, later when she regained senses, she disclosed to Santu her traumatic experience of being raped by the respondents.Evidence of the prosecutrix and that of Santu is that she was in great agony and consequently, Santu and his first wife were fomenting her abdomen.Next evening, she aborted.Thereafter, next day i.e. on 30-7-1983, Santu along with her proceeded to Dindori Police Station, where she lodged an F.I.R., at 4.50 p.m.We have gone through the said statement of the prosecutrix.We find the same to be implicitly reliable.She stated that she was putting on the said string at the time of the incident and it broke while she was being raped.The two principal reasons which have weighed with the trial Court in holding the prosecutrix to be a consenting party are absence of injuries on her person and on that of the person of the respondents.The courts cannot overlook the fact that in sexual offences delay in the lodging of the F.I.R. can be due to variety of reasons particularly, the reluctance of the prosecutrix or her family members to go to the police and complain about the incident which concerns the reputation of the prosecutrix and the honour of her family.It is only after giving it a cool thought that a complaint of sexual offence is generally lodged.""In the instant case a very cogent explanation has been forthcoming for the delay in the lodging of the F.I.R. The prosecutrix has alleged in the F.I.R. that in the evening, her husband Santu and his wife came and she told Santu about the incident.She has also stated therein that since she was carrying pregnancy, she was having a throbbing pain in her stomach and her husband and his first wife were fomenting her abdomen.She has stated in the F.I.R. that it was the next day, that she aborted.Evidence of Santu is that it was in evening time that she aborted.If in such a situation, the F.I.R. was lodged at 4.50 p.m. on 30-7-1983, it cannot be stigmatised as being belated.We can safely assume that it must have beensometimes on the morning of 30-7-1983 that the prosecutrix and her husband Santu would have proceeded from their house to lodge the F.I.R. From a perusal of para 2 of the statement of police Jamadar Vasant Naik, it transpires that Police Station Dindori, where the F.I.R. was lodged was situated about 14 kms.from the village Nalegaon where the incident had taken place.In the said para, the said witness stated that Nalegaon is situated 4 kms from Umrale and Umrale is situated at a distance of 10 kms.from Dindori.In our view, in order to cover a distance of 14 kms which is approximately 9 miles, sometime must have been spent.Neither the prosecutrix nor her husband Santu were cross-examined on the mode of transport they took for proceeding to Police Station, Dindori.In our judgment, the said reason for acquitting the respondents is also untenable.The trial Judge has also held that it appears that the prosecutrix was a consenting party.We may have agreed with him, had she nominated only one person as her rapist.Here, as per her evidence, she was raped by three persons in immediate succession.In our judgment it is impossible to accept that the prosecutrix would have consented to have sexual intercourse with three persons.The trial Judge was wholly oblivious to this angle of approaching the evidence of the prosecutrix.In cross- examination, Dr. Kakade statedthat if a woman is examined within 7 to 10 days of her abortion, then alone a definite opinion can be given whether abortion was done or not.In the instant case, the evidence is that the abortion took place on 29-7-1983, and the prosecutrix was medically examined on 11-8-1983 i.e. two weeks after abortion.Now only one question remains to be answered i.e. the quantum of sentence to be awarded to the respondents.We have carefully weighed the rival submissions.The respondents should thank their stars that at the time when the incident took place, the amended provisions of section 376 I.P.C. which provide for a minimum sentence of 10 years in case of gang-rape, had not seen the light of the day.Looking to the overall circumstances, we feel that the ends of justice would be squarely satisfied if each of the three respondents are sentenced to undergo five years R.I. for the offence under section 376 I.P.C. and one months R.I. for the offence under section 342 I.P.C. Since these offences arise out of the same transaction, we feel that the sentences on both the counts should run concurrently.In the result, this appeal is allowed.The acquittal of each of the three respondents namely (1) Suresh Nivrutti Bhusare (2) Sahebu Narayan Shete and (3) Damu Kashinath Shete for offences under sections 376 and 342 I.P.C. are set aside.Each of the said respondents are found guilty of having committed said offences and are sentenced to undergo five years R.I. under section 376 I.P.C. and one months R.I. under section 342 I.P.C. Their said sentences shall run concurrently.In case an application for a certified copy of this judgment is preferred, the same shall be issued on an expedited basis.Appeal allowed.","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The first accused in a case of murder, in which he stood charged underSections 302 and 404 of Indian Penal Code along with the second accused, whostood charged under Sections 302 read with 109 and 404 read with 109 ofI.P.C., on being found guilty as per the charges and awarded punishment oflife imprisonment along with a fine of Rs.1,000/-, in default of which toundergo 6 months Rigorous Imprisonment, for the offence under Sec.302 ofI.P.C. and Rigorous Imprisonment for two years along with a fine ofRs.1,000/-, in default of which to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for sixmonths for the offence under Sec.404 of I.P.C., has preferred this appeal.The second accused was acquitted of both the charges by the trial Court.The short facts necessary for the disposal of this appeal are:(c) On receipt of the requisition, P.W.7 Dr.Ganeshbabu, attached tothe Government Hospital, Perambalur, conducted the autopsy on the dead body ofRani and found the following injuries.External Injuries:ILL defined abrasion seen encircling the neck above the hyoidbone, the abrasion becomes broken at the back of neck.2.

Abrasion in the back of left elbow 4 cm x 2 cm through whichfluid blood oozing.Abrasion left popliteal fossa 15 cm x 6 cm.Multiple abrasions over the left thigh which extends to the lower part of left buttocks.20 cm x 10 cm.Multiple abrasions over the both scapular region 6 cm x 4 cm.A-2was also arrested and produced before the Court.P.W.14 Panneerselvam,Inspector of Police, took up further investigation.A requisition wasforwarded to the Court for sending the material objects for chemical analysis.Accordingly, they were subjected to chemical analysis.P25 ChemicalAnalyst's report and Ex.P26 Serologist's report were received.On completionof the investigation, the Investigating Officer filed the final report, whichwas taken cognizance by the trial Court.In order to substantiate the charges levelled against the accused,the prosecution examined 14 witnesses and relied on 26 exhibits and 11material objects.On completion of the evidence on the side of theprosecution, the accused were questioned under Sec.313 of the Code of CriminalProcedure as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of theprosecution witnesses.Both the accused flatly denied the same.No defencewitnesses were examined.The trial Court on consideration of the rivalsubmissions made and scrutiny of the materials, has found the first accusedguilty as per the charges and awarded the punishment referred to above, buthas acquitted the second accused.Hence, the first accused has assailed thejudgment of the lower Court before this Court.The learned Counsel appearing for the appellant made the followingsubmissions:The prosecution had no direct evidence in the case and had reliedexclusively on the circumstantial evidence.But, the prosecution has failedin both.According to the prosecution, the first accused was arrested on13.6.1999, and the requisition for conduct of the first identification paradewas given after a period of 10 months.The proceedingspertaining to the same, marked as Ex.P11 would clearly indicate that P.W.3could not identify the first accused, though he was shown not only once butalso thrice.Atthat time, P.W.3 identified the first accused.But, the second identificationparade has taken place after a very long time from the time of arrest i.e.,nearly one year and one month.This delay would be sufficient to reject theentire identification parade proceedings.Apart from that, at the time ofidentification parade itself, the first accused has categorically stated tothe Judicial Officer concerned that there were number of occasions when he wasshown to P.W.3, and in particular before the trial Court, where the firstaccused was produced.P.W.3 was already known to him and a relative also, andhence, he has identified the first accused.Under the circumstances, theidentification parade loses its significance in law.Added further, the learned Counsel for the appellant that so faras the recovery relied on by the prosecution, is concerned, there is norecovery under Sec.27 of the Evidence Act at all.Even from the evidence ofP.W.6, it would be clear that the place of arrest, confession and recoverywould differ.Apart from that, so far as the recovery is concerned, a perusalof the document would clearly indicate that it was not a recovery mahazar;but, it was only a search list, and it would also be strengthened by theevidence of P.W.6, who has deposed to the fact that there was no recovery;but, it was only a search, pursuant to which the gold jewels were recovered.Not even a mahazar has also been prepared in that regard.Under thecircumstances, the prosecution cannot place any reliance on the recovery, andthus, the recovery alleged to have been made, loses its importance.Therefore, the prosecution has nothing to put forth before the lower Court.Apart from the identification of thefirst accused by P.W.3, P.W.10 a villager and who was also a member of theHome Guard, has also identified the first accused before the trial Court,which has also been relied on by the lower Court.The learned Government Advocate would further add that so far asthe recovery of the gold jewels M.Os.1 to 5 was concerned, they, according toP.W.1, belonged to his wife.Further,from the evidence of P.Ws.6 and 13, it would be quite evident that thesejewels were recovered from the first accused, pursuant to the confession madeby him.A scrutiny of the evidence of P.W.6 would clearly indicate that itwas the first accused who gave a confessional statement recorded by theInvestigating Officer, pursuant to which the gold jewels have been recovered.Under the circumstances, the lower Court was perfectly correct in drawing thepresumption under Sec.114 of the Evidence Act that it was he who committed theheinous crime of murder, and hence, the defence version was rightly rejectedby the trial Court.In view of these reasons, the appeal is bereft of merits,and hence, it has got to be dismissed.This Court paid its full attention on the rival submissions madeand had a thorough scrutiny of the prosecution case as well as the materialson record.At that time, P.W.3was asked to identify the first accused.On all the three occasions, he couldnot identify.P14, that P.W.3 was able to identify thefirst accused, after a long delay of nearly one year and one month, whichwould be suffice to reject the identification proceedings.Apart from the above, the first accused even at the time of theidentification, has complained to P.W.11 Judicial Officer that he was shown toP.W.3 earlier, and P.W.3 was also known to him, and one occasion, he wasactually shown to P.W.3, who was sitting in the Court hall at the time whenthe other proceedings were going on, in order to identify him in this case.At the time of hiscross-examination, he has categorically stated that he gave an oral statementto the police the very next day, when they came for an enquiry, but, hisstatement was not recorded.When a query was raised by the Court in thisregard, the prosecution was unable to tender any explanation why such astatement was not recorded at that time.On the contrary, it is seen from therecords that the statement of P.W.10 was recorded only in the month ofSeptember 2000 and was sent to the Court.Hence, the conviction of theappellant/first accused under Sections 3 02 and 404 of I.P.C. and theconsequent sentence imposed on him by the

The first is of prosecutrix ""P"".The date mentioned as 02.09.02 time: 12.45 a.m. However, there is cut but there is no explanation on change of date to 02.10.02 with different pen and ink.The MLC Ex.PW-8/B mentioned the date 2nd September, 2002 time 12.55 a.m. However, there is another examination of Dr. M.G. Kalyanpal.It is on 02.10.02 time: 2.10 a.m. No explanation regarding two dates.MLC of Arti Ex.PW-8/C mentioned the date 02nd September, 2002 time: 1.14 a.m. MLCs of Bitto Ex.PW-8/D at one column has not mentioned the date of examination but at other column D - 1st October, 2002 at 1.45 a.m. Other date of examination by Dr. M.G. Kalyan Pal mentioned the date 02nd October, 2002, 1.45 a.m. in the night.The half of the examination on Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Rev.Pet.434/09 Page 5 02nd September, 2002 and the remaining examination on 02nd October, 2002 at early hours of the morning.The initial handwriting has not mentioned the history which is different from the other handwriting.The 2nd September, 2002 date and examination suggests that it was for bonne-x-ray of all the four girls.Then how it is possible that on 02nd September, 2002, the same MLC has been prepared and how investigation officer seized the pulandas and medical samples on 02nd October, 2002 when four girls are under medical examination.The Trial Court further recorded as follows: -Now in the examination of MLC Ex.PW-8/A to PW-8/D of four girls and Ex.PW-8/E of Chander Shekhar, some important factors erupted.The Ex.PW-8/D of Bitto is number 07294 and Ex.All the four girls examined in the night intervening night of 1/2.10.02 then how MLC number of Bitto chased the serial from 15000 to Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Pet.434/09 Page 6 07295 when examined by the same doctor.In Section-164 statement Ex.PW-1/C, she mentioned that only Lalita had visited her jhuggi, however, in the Court she improved upon this and mentioned the names of both persons.Similarly, there was a variation in her account in going to Model Town.The police statement under Section-161 was silent as to whether she was interviewed by the police officers when they were looking for Janki; in the statement recorded under Section-164 Ex.PW-1/C, she stated that the accused took her to PS Model Town where some policemen had recorded her statement.The Trial Court observed in this regard as follows: -XXX The appreciation of this portion prosecutrix statement again reflects material contradiction.According to Ex.PW-2/A she went to Lalita and Chander Shekhar in a three wheeler at police station Model Town.As per statement under section 164 Cr.P.C. she was taken by Lalita only to police Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Rev.Pet.434/09 Page 7 station Model Town.According to testimony in the court she remained at police station prior to 8.00 p.m. The investigation officer has not enquired from police station Model Town regarding this aspect although in the charge sheet one line is written.No effort is made by IO to join the police officials from police station Model Town to further explain and corroborate this fact.No documentary filed on record regarding any FIR is pending at police station Model Town and what inquiries conducted by police officials from prosecutrix ""P"" at police station Model Town.However, Ex.PW-14/A DD No.16 SI Narender Yadav made some inquires from girl which was taken by parents from police station Model Town.However, investigation officer did not make any effort to join SI Narender Yadav during investigation.Statement of prosecutrix ""P"" Ex.PW-2/A further states that at about 8.00 p.m. in the night, Lalita and Chander Shekhar both forcibly took her to first floor, C Block office, there three girls namely PW-5 Bitto, PW-6 Arti and PW-9 Sunita were already sitting there.The door was shut.Thereafter both accused started slapping and giving fist blows on all the four girls and asking about missing Janaki.At about 2.00 a.m., Chander Shekhar after drinking liquor along with Lalita confined all the three girls in a latrine outside room at staircase.Then closed door of the office.In statement 164 Cr.P.C. prosecutrix states that Lalita taken her C Block Office by dragging from the staircase.There she saw three more girls Arti, Sunita and Bitto already confined there.Both Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Rev.Pet.434/09 Page 8 accused gave beating to three girls.Thereafter three girls were confined in bathroom.When prosecutrix as PW-2 she testified that Lalita took her dragging on first floor office of Chander Shekhar, she saw there three girls were already confined one or two days prior to her.Lalita again made inquiries about missing daughter Janaki.In cross-examination she states that she never went to office of accused Chander Shekhar.The story of confinement also differs from each witness.How new and new facts are introduced.Everything is happening in a small room but how they were depicted and then reproduced while under examination for statement under section 164 Cr.P.C. and finally before this court.PW-9 Sunita introduced son of Lalita who consumed liquor and Crl.The analysis and appreciation of PW-2 prosecutrix, PW-5 Bitto, PW-6 Arti and PW-9 established that prosecution case now further grows but element of truthfulness is diminishing at a very fast speed in respect of wrongful confinement, threat and outraging modesty and kidnapping.It is pertinent to mention here that how it can be believed that four girls missing from their house but their parents or husband never approached to the police.""The Trial Court also disbelieved the circumstances in which the alleged escape took place by the four girls and observed as follows: -The last part of the prosecution story regarding escape of PW-6 Arti is contradictory to each other of the witnesses PW-5, PW-6 and PW-9 and also to the statements under section 164 Cr.P.C. Each witness has given her own story of escape.The common fact is that public persons gathered there.They called police officials there.The investigation officer has not proved any DD entry which was registered on the information of Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.The story regarding arrest of accused as stated by four girls and police officials are also contradictory to each other.Some say they were escaped.Some say they were apprehended by public.PW-14 investigation officer SI Raghubir Singh simply stated that they were arrested and proved their memos PW-13/A and PW-13/B and PW-11/C and PW-11/D.According to Ex.According to PW-13 both were present in front of B-19 but however, there is difference of half an hour.MLC of accused Chander Shekhar Ex.PW-8/E suggests that he was medically examined at 8.50 a.m. at same BJRM Hospital.There is a gap of nine hours from the arrest time to the medical examination.All the four girls were sitting in the room.At around 04:00 AM, one of the girls, Aarti, managed to get out and raised an alarm as a result of which, people gathered.The accused quietly slipped away from the office.On the basis of these allegations, FIR No.254/2002 was registered at PS Bawana.The accused were arrested and after conclusion of investigation charged with committing the offence mentioned previously.They claimed to be innocent and sought trial.In the course of the trial, the prosecution relied upon testimonies of 14 witnesses and several materials including the Medico Legal Certificates and other documents.After considering all these, Trial Court acquitted the respondents/accused.It is argued that the Trial Court placed undue importance on the minor contradictions and variations to acquit the respondents/accused.It was argued that since all the witnesses were victims of abduction, Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Rev.Pet.434/09 Page 3 the police had ensured that their statements had recorded under Section-161, Cr.P.C. Broadly, each one corroborated the other as to the abduction and confinement as well as the rape committed upon P. In that sense, there was ample material to substantiate and corroborate the prosecutrix version about the abduction, confinement and her rape.Each one of the witnesses PW-5, 6 & 9 had heard the prosecutrix crying out and had even heard her telling them about the assault on her.The medical evidence in the form of MLC as well as the Doctor's testimony supported the version about the rape.Having regard to all these, the Court ought not to have given undue importance to minor contradictions in regard to location or the sequence of events or the kind of clothes that was worn by them or the prosecutrix.Since the identity of the assailants i.e. Chander Shekhar and Lalita was known to each one of the victims who deposed i.e. PW Nos.5, 6 & 9, the respondents' acquittal was not justified.We have carefully considered the submissions as well as Trial Court's records.In this case, the Trial Court disbelieved the MLCs observing as follows: -Now let us examine MLCs of four girls Ex.PW-8/A to Ex.The medical examination of four girls, seizure memo Ex.PW-11/B and MLCs PW-8/A and PW-8/B completely demolishes the prosecution story.She also revealed before Magistrate that she said that Lalita threatened her to put on her chilly powder and tezab.Three girls were confined in a bathroom close to her.Latrine and bathroom were combined where she was confined.""Commenting on the vide variations between the statement of all the witnesses including 'P' - each one of them had recorded the further statement under Section-164 Cr.P.C. - the Trial Court observed as follows: -The statements of all the four witnesses PW-2 prosecutrix, PW-5 Bitto, PW-6 Arti and PW-9 Sunita on the aspect of their meeting with both accused persons and how they were brought to the office C Block, Shahbad Dairy are contradictory.The conduct as alleged of accused Lalita and Chander Shekhar how mismatched.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Rev.Pet.434/09 Page 9 gave beating to them.PW- 5 Bitto states that Lalita compelled prosecutrix ""P"" to take Sharab.PW-9 also introduced new facts regarding the teasing, touching and undressing her.PW-5 Bitto in cross-examination stated a story of visiting police station Model Town, Adarsh Nagar and Jahangir Puri.Similarly, the testimonies recorded all the four girls in the court are contradictory to each other on all material aspects.PW-2 has not proved this arrest memo.The memos of Lalita are Ex.PW-11/C and Ex.PW-11/D. According to these memos, accused Lalita was arrested at 11.40 p.m. half an hour of the accused.PW-2 is the witness but she failed to proved these memos.During this nine hours custody period investigation officer had no time to record disclosure statement of any of the accused.There is no explanation for not recording of disclosure statement by the investigation officer.""We further notice that the MLC of the prosecutrix P does not Crl.L.P.189/09 & Crl.Rev.Pet.434/09 Page 11 bear any sign of forcible sexual intercourse as is sought to be made out by the prosecution.The evidence on record establishes that she was married even though at a young age.","['Section 164 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The relevant facts for our purposes are these.Gopal deceased was married to the sister of the appellant.The appellant and his father Badri were living in a railway quarter at Gorakhpur.Gopal's sister was married to one Banarsi, who was also living in another railway quarter nearby.S. P. Sinha and S. D. Sekhri, for the appellant.G. C. Mathur and C. P. Lal (for G. N. Dikshit), for the respondent.The Judgment of the Court was delivered by WANCHOO J.-This is an appeal by special leave against the judgment of the Allahabad High Court in a criminal matter.The facts of the case, as found by the High Court, are no longer in dispute and the 648 question that is raised in this appeal is whether the appellant had exceeded the right of private defence of person.Gopal had been living for some time with his father-in-law.They did not, however, pull on well together and Gopal shifted to the house of Banarsi.Badri persuaded Gopal to come back to his house but the relations remained strained and eventually Gopal shifted again to the quarter of Banarsi about 15 days before the present occurrence which took place on June 11, 1953, at about 10 p.m. Gopal's wife had continued to live with her father as she was unwilling to go with Gopal.Her father Badri and her brother Vishwanath appellant sided with her and refused to let her go with Gopal.Gopal also suspected that she had been carrying on with one Moti who used to visit Badri's quarter.Consequently, Gopal was keen to take away his wife, the more so as he had got a job in the local department some months before and wanted to lead an independent life.On June 11, there was some quarrel between the appellant and Gopal about the girl; but nothing untoward happened then and the appellant went back to his quarter and Gopal went away to Bansari's quarter.Gopal asked Banarsi's sons to help him in bringing back his wife.Banarsi also arrived and then all four of them went to Badri's quarter to bring back the girl.On reaching the place, Banarsi and his two sons stood outside while Gopal went in.In the meantime, Badri came out and was asked by Banarsi to let the girl go with her husband.Badri was not agreeable to it and asked Banarsi not to interfere in other people's affairs.While Badri and Banarsi were talking, Gopal came out of the quarter dragging his reluctant wife behind him.The girl caught hold of the door as she was being taken out and a tug-of-war followed between her and Gopal.-The appellant was also there and shouted to his father 649 that Gopal was adamant.Badri, thereupon replied that if Gopal was adamant he should be beaten (tomaro).On this the appellant took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Gopal once.The knife penetrated into the heart and Gopal fell down senseless.Steps were taken to revive Gopal but without success.Thereupon, Gopal was taken to the hospital by Badri and the appellant and Banarsi and his sons and some others, but Gopal died by the time they reached the hospital.On these facts the Sessions Judge was of opinion that Badri who had merely asked the appellant to beat Gopal could not have realised that the appellant would take out a knife from his pocket and stab Gopal.Badri was, therefore, acquitted of abetment.The Sessions Judge was further of opinion that the appellant had the right of private defence of person, and that this right extended even to the causing of death as it arose on account of an assault on his sister which was with intent to abduct her.He was further of opinion that more harm than the circumstances of the case required was not caused; and therefore the appellant was also acquitted.The State then appealed to the High Court against the acquittal of both accused.The High Court upheld the acquittal of Badri.The acquittal of - the appellant was set aside on the ground that the case was not covered by the fifth clause of s. 100 and the right of -private defence of person in this case did not extend to the voluntary causing of death to the assailant and therefore it was exceeded.The appellant gave only one blow with a knife which he happened to have in his pocket.Appeal allowed.","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 364 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 299 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

A2 and A3 and under Section 342 IPC against all the accused, and A1 toA3 were found guilty under Sections 342 and 304(2) andsentenced to undergo RI for one year each under Section 342 IPC andsentenced to undergo RI for four years each under Section 304(2) IPC,have brought forth this appeal.On 18.1.1995, A2 surrendered before thelearned Judicial Magistrate, Musiri.On 23.1.1995, the InvestigatingOfficer obtained post-mortem certificate and examined P.W.8 Doctor.Healso examined the photographer and obtained the statement.Oncompletion of the investigation, he laid a charge sheet against the accusedunder Section 342 and 302 IPC.In order to prove the charges levelled against the accused, theprosecution examined 10 witnesses and marked 14 exhibits and 3 M.Os.The accused were questioned under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. as to theincriminating circumstances found in the evidence of the prosecutionwitnesses, which they flatly denied as false.No defence witnesses wereexamined.The trial court, on consideration of the rival submissions made andscrutiny of the available materials, found all the accusedguilty under Section 342 and 304(2) IPC and sentenced them to undergoimprisonment as referred to above.Aggrieved accused have broughtforth this appeal.Arguing for the appellant, the learned Counsel Ms.J.JulietPushpa made the following submissions for consideration by this Court.P.W.2 hasturned hostile.P.W.1 was a close relative of the deceasedand he was interested, and hence it was uncorroborated and selfinconsistent testimony.The evidence of P.W.1 should not have been relied onby the trial court for finding the accused guilty.The prosecutionrelied on the evidence of P.Ws.1 to 3 to the effect that the deceased wasbeaten with sticks.But, in the post-mortem certificate it could be seen thatno external injury was found corresponding to the saidversion of the prosecution witnesses.Hence, the prosecutionwitnesses could not have seen the occurrence at all.The medical evidence has not in any way corroboratedthe ocular evidence.Under the stated circumstances, the lower courtshould have rejected the case of the prosecution and acquitted theaccused.Opposing the contentions put forth by the appellants' side, thelearned Government Advocate would submit that the prosecution hasclearly brought home the guilt of the accused under Sections 342 and 304(2)IPC as found by the trial court.It is true that P.W.2 hasturned hostile, but the prosecution relied on the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 3,who have given a cogent evidence as to the fact that it was A1 to A3who tied the deceased in Vadanarayana tree and even before tyingthe deceased, they beat him and after tying also, they beat him.It is truethat there was no corresponding external injury found, but ithas in no way affected the case of the prosecution, because, P.W.8Doctor has opined that the death was caused not due to injury by beating thedeceased, but because of tying of rope tightly, the vital organs kidney andliver were not functioning and rupture was also found.Under the stated circumstances, it cannot be said that the ocularevidence was not corroborated by the medical evidence, and thus, theprosecution has clearly proved its case.Hence, the judgment of the trialcourt has got to be affirmed.After careful analysis of the evidence available andconsideration of the rival submissions made, this Court is unable to agreewiththe contentions of the appellants' side.The gist of the prosecution case wasthat on the date of occurrence, on entertaining suspicionthat the deceased took away the amount of A1, he questioned thedeceased and not satisfied with the answer, A1 beat the deceased and A2 and A3have also joined with him.All the accused tied the deceased with a kadambarope in Vadanarayana tree situated nearby the house of A1 and beat him.Thedeceased fell unconscious.Hence, the accuseduntied the rope and poured water on his face.They took him to the houseof A1 and found him dead.They fled away from the scene of occurrence.It istrue that P.W.2 has turned hostile.P.W.1 who gave acomplaint was a close relative of the deceased.Itis pertinent to point out that the complaint was given by P.W.1 wherehe has given a full narration of the occurrence as he narrated theoccurrence before the trial court.Both P.Ws.1 and 3 have categorically spoken to the fact that all theaccused have tied the deceased in a tree.P.W.8 Post-mortem Doctor has givenpost-mortem certificate andhas also deposed thatwhen he was tied tightly there was all possibility of non functioningof vital organs, namely, kidney and liver and which caused his death.He hasalso noticed rope mark in the waist of the deceased.Theappellants' side is unable to show any circumstance or reason why theevidence of P.Ws.1 and 3 should be disbelieved or rejected.In other respect, the judgment of the trial court isconfirmed.With the above modification, this criminal appeal is

09/06/2013 17:22:20 :::(30)Moreover, Laxman (PW 2) has stated in his deposition that his daughter Surekha had come to her parental house for Panchami i.e. in the month of August and she allegedly told that accused were making demand of Rs. 25,000/- for the purchase of agricultural land.He has also stated that thereafter in the month of Bhadrapad i.e. August end or September, his cousin brother Rameshwar had expired and his daughter had come for his funeral and at that time, she stayed for about two days and disclosed that her husband and other inlaws were making demand of cash, but he did not give her any amount and sent her back.However, he has further stated that the appellant assaulted her by hunter and, therefore, she returned back on the same day and she disclosed that appellant assaulted her by hunter and showed weal marks on her back.On the next day, Laxman (PW 2) went to Grampanchayat office and took Nandu Kale (PW 5) and Rakhmaji.He has further stated that thereafter his daughter did not return back and he got the message on 12-10-1997, that his daughter was ill and accordingly went to the hospital and found that she was already expired.::: Downloaded on -

Pant, J.The appeal filed by the Statequa Darshan Singh (present appellant) against his acquittal by the trialcourt, was allowed and his acquittal was reversed.On the basis of it, FIR No. 14, dated 17.02.1995 was registered atPolice Station, City Faridkot.The investigation was taken up by Sub-inspector Ranjit Singh (PW-17), who took the dead bodies in his possession,sealed it, prepared inquest report and got sent them for post-mortemexamination.Dr. Sarabjit Singh Sandhu (PW-4) conducted post-mortemexamination on the dead bodies of Santa Singh and Harbans Singh on17.02.1995, and prepared autopsy reports.The other injured were alsomedically examined by PW-4 Dr. Sarabjit Singh Sandhu and PW-5 Dr. ManjitSingh.There were injuries also on the side of the accused, and from theirside accused Pal Singh, accused Surain Singh and accused Jhanda Singhsuffered injuries.After interrogating witnesses and on completion ofinvestigation PW-16 Assistant Sub-inspector Ram Singh (who took overinvestigation from S.I Ranjit Singh) submitted charge-sheet against accusedpersons in the court.On 7.7.1995, Additional Sessions Judge,Faridkot framed charge against all the accused, namely, Surain Singh,Darshan Singh (present appellant), Pal Singh, Jhanda Singh , Jasmail Singh,Boota Singh and Lachman Dass relating to offences punishable under Section148, 302/149 (on separate counts of death of two persons), 307/149,324/149, 218 and 201 IPC to which accused pleaded not guilty and claimed tobe tried.Thereafter prosecution got examined PW-1 Amrik Singh (informant), PW-2 Sukhchain Singh, PW-3 Raj Singh (all the three injured eye witnesses), PW-4 Dr. Sarabjit Singh Sandhu who conducted post-mortem examination, PW-5 Dr.Manjit Singh, PW-6 Gurcharanjit Kaur, Ahalmad, PW-7 Ujjagar Singh, Steno toA.D.C.

Singla, PW-15 Sub Inspector Shivraj Bhushan, PW-16 Sub Inspector Ram Singh, PW-17Inspector Ranjit Singh, PW-18 Constable Jagjit Singh and PW-19 SatishKalia, Ahalmad.The evidence adduced by prosecution was put to the accused by thetrial court under Section 313 of Cr.PC.In reply to which the accusedpersons alleged that evidence against them was incorrect.Appellant DarshanSingh took the specific plea of alibi stating that on 17.02.1995 he wasattending his duty as a Laboratory Assistant in Senior Secondary School,Janerian.Other accused took pleas of self defence.On behalf of thedefence DW-1 Satnam Kaur, DW-2 Rajinder Kumar, DW-3 Darshan Singh (Teacherin primary school, Pakhi Khurd), DW-4 Pawan Kumar, Ahalmad, DW-5 J.V.Tiwari, DW-6 Mukhtiar Singh, DW-7 Om Parkash and DW-8 ASI Harvinder PalSingh were examined.The trial court after hearing the parties found that charge asagainst accused Boota Singh, Darshan Singh and Lachman Dass is not provedand, as such, they were acquitted.However, accused Surain Singh wasconvicted under Section 302 of IPC for committing murder of Harbans Singhand also under Section 307 of IPC for attempting to murder Sukhchain Singh.He (Surain Singh) was further convicted under Section 324 of IPC.Rest ofthe accused Jhanda Singh, Jasmail Singh and Pal Singh were convicted underSections 302/34, 307/34 and 324/34 of IPC.After hearing the sentence, thetrial court sentenced the convicts to various sentences.Convicts Surain Singh, Jhanda Singh, Jasmail Singh and Pal Singhchallenged their conviction before the High Court, and by the impugnedorder the High Court allowed appeal of Jhanda Singh, Jasmail Singh and PalSingh, but appeal of Surain Singh was dismissed.The connected appeal No.568 DBA of 1998 filed by the State qua Darshan Singh against order of hisacquittal was allowed, and he was convicted under Section 302 of IPC forcommitting murder of Santa Singh and sentenced to imprisonment for life anddirected to pay fine of Rs. 5,000/- with default clause.He was furtherconvicted under Section 324 of IPC for voluntarily causing hurt with adeadly weapon on person of Gursewak Singh and Raj Singh and sentenced torigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and to pay fine of Rs.1,000/- with default clause.Aggrieved by said judgment and order dated02.09.2008, passed by the High Court, this appeal is filed by accusedDarshan Singh who was acquitted by the trial court, but order of acquittalwas reversed and was convicted by the High Court.Mr. K.T.S. Tulsi, Senior Advocate, on behalf of the appellant, hasargued before us that where two views are possible on the basis of evidenceon record, the High Court should not have reversed the order of acquittalrecorded by trial court.It is further contended that appellant DarshanSingh was discharging his duties in the school on 17.02.1995 and was notpresent at the place of incident when occurrence took place and as such,the acquittal recorded by the trial court was not liable to be interferedwith.Our attention is drawn to the evidence adduced in defence in supportof plea of alibi.On the other hand, learned counsel for the State pointed out that inthe incident in question, while Surain Singh committed murder of HarbansSingh, the appellant (Darshan Singh) committed murder of Santa Singh.It isfurther submitted that plea of alibi taken by the defence was correctlyfound false by the High Court after re-appreciation of evidence.Learnedcounsel for the State referred to the statements of injured eye witnesses.We have considered rival submissions and perused the entire record ofthe case.There are three injured eye witnesses in the present case,namely, PW-1 Amrik Singh, PW-2 Sukhchain Singh and PW-3 Raj Singh.It is acase of day light incident.Injuries on the person of said eye witnesseshave been corroborated by PW-4 Dr. Sarabjit Singh Sandhu, PW-5 Dr. ManjitSingh and PW-14 Dr. S.P. Singla.Ocular testimony of eye witnesses cannotbe discarded lightly.Once the prosecution has discharged its burden, theburden to prove that appellant Darshan Singh was not present with otheraccused at the place of incident and had gone elsewhere, lies on him.Injured eye witnesses have assigned specific role as to how he assaultedSanta Singh who suffered ante mortem injuries which gets corroborated fromthe autopsy report of Santa Singh.There are as many as five stabbed woundsout of the six ante mortem injuries.The same are being reproduced belowfrom autopsy report of Santa Singh:-Transverse stab wound 3 x 0.5 cm was present on the anterior side ofchest on the left side, 6 cms below and lateral to left nipple at 4.00 O’clock position.C.B.P was present.On dissection, it is going in wards andmedially through 6th inter costal space, piercing the pericardium and leftvertical.Pericardial sac contains about 200 C.C of fluid blood.It was bone deep C.B.P.Transverse stab wound 2 x 0.5 cm was present at the back of the leftside of abdomen 3 cms lateral to midline and 15 cm above the posteriorsuperior iliac spine of left side on dissection, the peritoneum largeintestia was cut.Peritoneal cavity contained about 500 C.C. of fluid andclotted blood.Transverse stab wound 2.5 x 0.5 cm was present on the back of the leftside of abdomen, 6 cms lateral to the injury no.3 C.B.P. It was skin deep.An oblique stab wound 1.5 x 25 cm on the back of left side of chest, 2cms from the midline and 20 cms below the nape of the neck, it was bonedeep C.B.P.A transverse stab wound 4 x 0.5 cms on the back of left side ofchest, 5 cms from the midline and 12 cms below the nape of the neck.C.B.P.It was bone deep.”From the record, PW-1 Amrik Singh (eye witness) appears to havesuffered following injuries at the time of the incident:-“2.4cm x 1cm incised wound-10.5 cms below and posterior to leftshoulder joint.X-ray of left shoulder joint advised.Injury was kept under observation and duration was within 6 hoursweapon used was sharp weapon” Injuries were declared simple in nature as per x-ray report and wasresult of a sharp weapon.”Another eye witness PW-2 Sukhchain Singh found to have sufferedfollowing injuries as per the injury report proved on the record:-“1. 1.0 cm x 0.25 cm incised wound on the middle of forehead.X-rayadvised.2. 2 cm x 1 cm incised wound on right side of chest 17 cms fromxiphisternum.Profuse bleeding was present.X-ray advised.Surgical opinion and X-ray advised.”Third eye witness PW-3 Raj Singh suffered following injuries on thedate of incident, as proved on the record:-“1. 1.9 cm x 1 incised wound in right Gluteal region-6 ½ cms below theright.Anterior superior iliac spine.X-ray advised.2cms x 1 cm incised wound on right lower chest.Bonedeep 22 cms belowthe right anterior, Axillary fold-17 cms below and slightly lateral toright memory gland.Surgical opinion was advised.”Now, we come to the defence plea of appellant Darshan Singh which wasaccepted by the trial court but rejected by the High Court.There is nocavil over the fact that appellant Darshan Singh was posted as LabAssistant with the Senior Secondary School, Janerian.After carefully goingthrough the statements of defence witnesses and other evidence on record,we agree with the High Court that accused Darshan Singh has taken falseplea of alibi.His presence and role is narratedin detail by the injured eye witnesses.In view of his role in the incidentnarrated by the eye witnesses, it is hard to believe that after movingapplication on 16.02.1995 for casual leave for 17.02.1995, Darshan Singhattended the school next day in the first half and sought half day leavethereafter.The attendance register was not seized immediately after theincident.His plea of alibi is vacillating.The word alibi means “elsewhere”.In the present case said conditionis fulfilled.After scrutinizing the entire evidence on record, we do not find anyillegality in appreciation of evidence, or in arriving at the conclusion asto the guilt of the present appellant by the High Court.Therefore, for the reasons discussed above, we find no force in thisappeal which liable to be dismissed.Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Kala for taking his evidence.The trial court illegally and arbitrarily rejected the application No.121-B vide impugned order dated 7.12.2017 on the ground that the injuries of 1998 were not related to the present incident.The fire arm which has been recovered is 315 bore by which the incident has been carried out.The statement of Dr. R.K. Saxena has tried to mislead by saying that injury no. 2 is communicating to injury no. 3, which is an old injury which had been treated by Dr. R.P. Kala in the year 1998 as has been admitted by Dr R.K. Saxena in his statement recorded under section 161 Cr.P.C. It is well settled that justice should not only be done but it should appear to have been done.Therefore, in view of the statement of Dr. R.K. Saxena mentioned above, it was necessary to examine Dr R.P. Kala who had treated the deceased Mohd. Rashid in 1998 to prove that the injury no. 3 was an old injury because that would be necessary for proper and just adjudication of the present trial and would be helpful to punish the real culprit who has committed murder of Mohd. Rashid.From the side of the opposite party no.2, Azhar, a vakalatnama has been filed by Sri Amit Daga which is taken on record.No counter affidavit has been filed by him but he has orally made argument opposing the present revision vehemently.Heard learned counsel for the revisionist, learned counsel for the opposite party no.2, learned A.G.A. and perused the record.It is contended by the learned counsel for the revisionist that the post mortem of the deceased would show that he had received five antemortem injuries which were as follows:""i) Incised wound size 3x1 cm, margin clean, sharp, situated 6 cm above from Rt.ear on the Rt. side of skull underlying bone fractured.ii) Lacerated wound size 22x11 cm on left side of skull, 5 cm above from left ear underlying bone fractured, brain matter is coming out.iii) Wound no. 3 is communicating with left side supra clavicular area along Lt. side of neck where 24 pallets of metallic characteristic found.iv) Abrasion size 12.0x0.5 cm over Rt.side anterior abdominal wall 12cm laterally from unbilicus.v) Abrasion size 5.0x0.5 cm over Lt. side of abdomen......."" and the cause of death has been recorded due to antemortem injuries.Pointing out the above injuries statement of Dr. R.K.

Nigam conducted the post mortem of the deceased.All other witnesses produced at the trial were formal in nature.The trial court found the case set up against the accused appellants to be truthful and convicted and sentenced them as above.Broad features of the evidence may be noted for proper appreciation.PW 1, Khalifuddin deposed that before the incident, criminal cases were pending between the complainant party and the accused persons.A Panchayat was decided to be held at the Chaupal of Sakir Hussain for compromising the matters.He, Aminuddin, Qamaruddin @ Bhole, Ibne Hasan, Raisul Hasan, Shakir Hussain, Sabbar, Fareed Mistri and Tafsil were present there.From the other side.Sahvan Ali took up the Tabal and other accused took Lathis.Tashreef Ahmad had Ballam in his hand.Seeing the accused armed with weapons they started crying.The accused rounded them and prevented them from escaping.He saw that Sahvan Ali gave a blow of Tabal from reverse side on the head of the Sakir Ali, deceased.Sakir Hussain also sustained a Lathi blow on his head.He also sustained injuries on hands and legs.He fell down on the ground.Tashreef Ahamand attacked Ibne Hasan with Ballam.But, Ibne Hasan caught hold of the Ballam.When Sakir Hussain fell on the ground, Tashreef Ahmad fled taking Ballam.He further deposed that the Panchayat had gone smoothly for about 15-20 minutes.Other accused assaulted him, Aminuddin, Qamarudding @ Bhole and Raisul Hasan.Ghissu, Chunnu and many other had arrived at the spot and challenged th eaccused.Then the accused persons fled towards the west.He denied the suggestion that petromax was not glowing at the time of the incident.He specifically deposed that Sahavan Ali attacked Sakir Hussain on his head from reverse side of Tabal.PW 5 Ghissu deposed that it was about 9.10 p.m. when he was returning after easing himself.He heard the cries coming from the Chaupal of Sakir.He ran towards the Chaupal.The petromax was glowing at the Chaupal of Sakir.A bulb was glowing on the mosque and it was moonlit night.So explaining his presence, this witness has supported PW1 Khalifudding in material particulars by his testimony.PW 6 Ibne Hasan is the complainant and brother of the deceased.He deposed that there were two factions in the village, one of the accused persons and the other of the complainant party.Criminal cases were pending between both the factions and to settle the mater, the members of the both parties were sitting on the Chupal of Sakir.The discussion for compromising the matter was going on.He substantially repeated the story as given in the F.I.R. and in the deposition of PW 1 Khalifuddin.He deposed that Tashreef gave him a Ballam blow but he caught the Ballam.He further deposed that Sahvan assaulted Sakir Hussain with Tabal from the reverse side and the other accused made assault with Lathis.PW 7 Qamaruddin is also an injured and he supported the version as given by the other eyewitnesses.We should also observe here that by order dated 8.7.04, the appeal of appellants No. 5, 7, 8 and 9, namely, Badruddin alias Achchan, Ayub, Ismail and Achchan, son of Abrarul Hasan abated because of their death.We have heard Sri P.N. Misra, counsel for the appellants assisted by Sri S.A. Shah and Sri I.M. Khan and Sri S.S. Yadav, learned A.G.A. for the State.In the case in hand, it has come in the evidence of all the eyewitnesses that a Panchayat in a peaceful atmosphere was being held for compromising the matters between the parties.The conversation turned into heated arguments and Master Tashreef Ahmad went to the house of Sahvan Ali situate in the vicinity and brought Lathis, Ballam, Tabal etc. and exhorted his companions to teach them lesson of litigation.Upon this, the accused persons assaulted the complainant party with Lathis, Ballam and Tabal.It is not in dispute that criminal cases were being fought between the parties and for compromising the matter, a Panchayat was decided to be held.PW 1 Khalifuddin admitted in his deposition before the court that the Panchayat continued smoothly for 15-20 minutes and thereafter heated arguments took place between the parties and the incident occurred as alleged above.From the above, it cannot be inferred that the accused formed an unlawful assembly.Criminal cases were being fought between the parties and they assembled in the Baithak of Sakir Hussain to find out a peaceful solution of the dispute.Therefore, we have to decide the culpability of each accused separately.Learned counsel for the appellants then submitted that the Sahvan Ali gave a Tabal blow to Sakir Hussain from reverse side and, therefore, an intention to cause death cannot be imputed to him.Sakir Hussain also received injuries in his hands, legs etc caused by other accused by Lathis.During the course of deliberations in the Panchayat, after heated arguments took place between the parties, he hurriedly went to the house of Sahvan situate nearby and instantaneously returned with Lathis Ballam and Tabal.He himself plied Ballam targeting Inbe Hasan, though he could not succeed because of the Ballam having been caught by the intended victim.It was the Tabal brought by him which Sahvan took and where with he assaulted the deceased Sakir Hussain.It was also this accused Tashreef Ahmad who had exhorted the other accused and had given a call to teach those on the prosecution side a lesson.Considering all the attending circumstances, it is obvious that he and Sahvan Ali (who gave fatal blow to the deceased Sakir Hussain with Tabal) shared common intention to do the act, i.e., of striking Sakir Hussain with Tabal with such knowledge that it was likely to cause death but without any intention to cause death.Such common intention between the two developed at the spur of moment when he brought the arms from the house of Sahvan Ali and the latter, using the Tabal brought by the former, gave the blow to Sakir Hussain from the reverse side which caused the fatal damage on the head of the victim.In the result, we allow the appeal partly in the following manner:Accused Badruddin alias Achhan, Ayub, Ismail and Achhan son of Abrarul Hasan have died and as such the appeal has abated respecting them.The conviction of the accused appellant Sahvan Ali is converted to Section 304 Part two I.P.C. and he is sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years.The conviction of the accused appellant Tashreef Ahmad is also converted to Section 304 Part two I.P.C. read with Section 34 I.P.C. He is also sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for seven years.The conviction of the remaining four accused appellants, namely, Javed Alam, Munna Sajjan and Sabir is converted to Section 323 I.P.C. Each of them shall undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months.The accused appellants Sahvan Ali, Tashreef Ahmad, Javad Alam, Munna, Sajjan and Sabir are on bail.Chief Judicial magistrate, Bijnor shall cause them to be arrested and lodged in jail to serve out the respective sentenced passed against them.Judgment be certified to the court below for reporting compliance within two months.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Act against the judgment of conviction and sentence, dated 19.12.2007 made in C.C.Nos.8 to 11 of 2004 on the file of the Principal Special Court for CBI Cases, Chennai.C.Anbarasu and through them some of the medical documents have been marked.P.W.6-G.Sundararaman, P.W.7-Thathachari, P.W.10-Rengarajan, Deputy manager and P.W.18-Vedachalam, Deputy manager of United India Insurance Company had received application from the appellant for reimbursement of mediclaim and they perused the documents and passed an order.Since P.W.17 has received some reliable information and on that basis only, he made an enquiry and came to know that the appellant/accused fraudulently and dishonestly including his mother as a dependent and enjoyed the premium concession and obtained a wrongful gain by way of mediclaim, which leads to wrongful loss to the United India Insurance Company.Then, P.W.17-Inspector of Police obtained sanction order Ex.P2 from P.W.1 and after completing his investigation, filed a charge sheet against the accused.6.The learned Special Judge after following the procedure, framed necessary charges against the accused.The accused pleaded not guilty.The Special Court examined the witnesses P.W.1 to P.W.18 & marked the documentary evidence Exs.P1 to P72 and placed the incriminating evidence before the Accused and considering the oral and documentary evidence, the Special Court convicted and sentenced the accused as stated above and acquitted the accused for an offence under Sections 468, 468 read with 471 IPC, against which, four appeals have been preferred by the appellant herein.P.W.1 has not applied his mind while according sanction for prosecuting the accused.Further, he submitted that Exs.P14 and P22 would prove the mother is a dependent and that there is no document to show that the mother was drawing Rs.1,500/- per month during the relevant period.Even though P.W.3-Section Officer of Southern Railway stated that Vadivambal, mother of the appellant has got family pension more than Rs.1,500/-, there is no evidence to prove the same during the relevant period.P12 was marked to prove the same.For officers, the Company has paid 2/3 premium amount and the concerned officer has to pay 1/3 of the premium amount.The coverage amount under the scheme differs as per the basic salary of the individual.P1, for the posts in the cadre of Assistant Managers, A.Os., A.A.Os.Assistant General Manager is having right to appoint and remove the Assistant Administrative Officer of the Company.While perusing Ex.P2-sanction order, P.W.1-Mr.M.Siddique, who was working as Assistant General Manager accorded sanction for prosecuting the accused.So as per Ex.P1, the Assistant General Manager is a competent person to appoint and remove the Assistant Administrative Officer.I did not call for his service register and perused it.My Vigilance Department has briefed me regarding any pending disciplinary proceedings against the accused and whether he was punished in any departmental enquiry etc. I did not mention about the briefing by my vigilance department regarding the above in my Ex.P2 sanction order.Myself and the Vigilance Department together have drafted Ex.That medical bills have been submitted for reimbursement and the same has been considered by P.W.6-G.Sundararaman, who was working as Divisional Manager, United India Insurance Company, P.W.7-Thathachari & P.W.10-Rengarajan, who were working as Deputy Manager, United India Insurance Company.P.W.13-S.Viswanathan, who was working as Administrative Officer, after processing the papers under Exs.In her chief-examination itself, she stated that as on 31.12.2001, Vadivambal was drawing pension and D.A. amounting to Rs.1,849/-.In the year 1991, her pension was Rs.773/- per month.At this juncture, it is appropriate to consider Ex.P15-Circular, dated 29.05.1990, in which, it was specifically stated as follows:""As you are aware, under the existing provision for coverage under Group Mediclaim Scheme, 'Family Members' mean, spouse, not more than 2 legitimate children (and additional children and parents to be covered on payment of full premium by the employee).At present any of these 'Family Members' is considered dependent on the employee provided such family member is not having an income more than Rs.100/- per month.18.In Ex.P14, it was specifically mentioned in 'B' Terms of coverage, in clauses-iv and v, which reads as follows:""iv.The employee's spouse/children becoming eligible for coverage after the employee's entry into the Mediclaim Scheme, may be granted cover from the first day of the month following the submission of enrolment from in respect of them.Hence, as and when any new dependant family members of the insured is to be included, the same may be done, subject to exclusion of pre-existing diseases.v. Coverage of dependant parents and additional dependant children shall be subject to the condition that the Company shall not bear any portion of the premium for such dependant as in the case of eligible members of the family. ""In the definition of 'Family' and 'Dependants', clause(g) reads as follows:As per clause-(g), since the mother has received family pension below Rs.1,500/- per month, she is eligible for group medi-claim.So the prosecution has miserably failed to prove that the mother of the appellant is not a dependent as per Ex.19.It is also pertinent to note the document under Ex.P22-a list of persons proposed for insurance, dated 25.03.1997, wherein the appellant herein has mentioned his family members to be covered with an insurance viz., himself, Vadivambal (mother), Kalaivani (wife), his two sons namely, Gowtham Ganesh and Gowshik Ganesh.In Ex.P22, it was stated as follows:Age limitNo.of persons Employees contributionCompany's contributionTotalUpto 45 years43204804400856 to 65 years11645Total48498045653In such circumstances, the prosecution has miserably failed to prove that the appellant herein has abused his position and cheated the United India Insurance Company and Oriental Insurance Company dishonestly and fraudulently and induced the United India Insurance Company to pay the portion of the premium to his mother.20.Admittedly, no complaint has been given by United India Insurance Company.As already discussed above that as per Ex.P14, mother is a dependent.The evidence of P.W.3-Chamundeeswari, Section Officer, has proved during the relevant period, the monthly family pension of the mother was Rs.773/- and it was below Rs.1,500/-.As per Ex.P22, the entire premium for the mother has been paid by the appellant herein.The evidence of Officers of the United India Insurance Company and the Doctors has proved that Vadivambal has suffered ailments and admitted in the hospital and thereafter, medical reimbursement has been claimed and after perusal of the document, the concerned authority from the United India Insurance Company has ordered for medical reimbursement.So the appellant/accused has no dishonest or fraudulent intention to cheat the Company.Hence the ingredients of Section 420 IPC has not been made out beyond reasonable doubt.21.Since sanction accorded by P.W.1 is not in accordance with law as per the finding made in para-14 of this Judgement, the prosecution itself fails.Moreover, the prosecution has failed to prove the guilt of the accused for an offence under Section 420 IPC and since the ingredients of Section 420 IPC has not been made out, the ingredients of Section 13(1)(d) of Prevention of Corruption Act, which deals with a public servant abused his financial power and obtained gain for himself or for any other person, does not arise.Hence, the ingredients of Section 13(1)(d) has also not been proved.But the learned Special Judge has failed to consider this aspect, convicted the accused for the offences under Sections 420 IPC and 13(2) r/w 13(1)(d) of P.C.Act.So the Special Court is erred in convicting the accused for the offences under Sections 420 IPC and 13(2) r/w 13(1)(d) of P.C.Act.Therefore, I am of the view, the conviction and sentence passed by the Special Court is liable to be set aside and hence, they are hereby set aside and the appellant is acquitted from the charges levelled against him.22.In fine, The Criminal Appeals are allowed.Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.The Judgment of conviction and sentence, dated 19.12.2007, made in C.C.Nos.8 to 11 of 2004 on the file of the Principal Special Court for CBI Cases, Chennai, is hereby set aside.The bail bond executed by the appellant, if any, shall stand cancelled.The fine amount paid by the appellant shall be refunded to him.06.02.2012Index:YesInternet:YeskjR.MALA,J.1.Principal Special Court for CBI Cases Chennai.3.The Special Public Prosecutor (for C.B.I.

However, the trial Court, merely on the basis of the evidence of P.W.6 and P.W.17, convicted A1 and A2 alone for the offence under Section 302 read with 149 I.P.C.On analysing the materials available on record, we are to conclude that the evidence of P.W.6, who had last seen the deceased in the company of the accused 1 to 3 is not credible and as such, the same cannot be acted upon to connect the appellants with the crime in question.The reasons for the above conclusion are the following.It is the specific case of the prosecution that earlier, there were quarrels between the accused and the deceased on so many occasions.According to P.W.6, A1 engaged the same auto for some other purpose, but did not make payment of hire charges.With reference to that, there was a quarrel between the accused and the deceased.It is further stated by P.W.6 that on the eve of Thevar Guru Pooja, the deceased fitted the mike set in the van and displayed songs in praise of Thevar and this was objected to by all the accused and due to this also, there was a quarrel between the accused and the deceased.Apart from that, when Shanmugiah Pandian, the Vice-President of Thevar Youth Forum was arrested by the police, the deceased pasted posters, opposing the act of the police in arresting Shanmugiah Pandian and in protest, the accused came and picked up quarrel with the deceased.In the light of the the materials with reference to enmity between these two groups, the evidence of P.W.6 that A1 to A3 came on that day at about 3.00 p.m. and engaged the auto of the deceased to go to Lanthai, which is situate 12 kms away from the auto stand, is not believable.When there was enmity between the deceased and the accused, with reference to the non payment of hire charges, it is quite artificial to say that the deceased readily agreed to take the accused 1 to 3 to go to Lanthai to hand over the TV to the Panchayat Union.However, he had not chosen to inform P.W.7 that at about 3.00 p.m. accused 1 to 3 engaged the deceased auto to go to Lanthai and thereafter, the deceased did not turn up.His evidence can be analysed from yet another angle.According to P.W.7, one Pandian was present at the scene of occurrence, when she went to the spot.She also specifically stated that he was examined by the police.On a perusal of Exs.P.11 inquest report, it is noticed that it has been specifically written in Col. No. 4 that the last person who saw the deceased alive is one Pandian.Despite this reference about Pandian, P.W.14 would state that Pandian was not examined during the course of inquest.Unfortunately, P.W.6 has not stated anything about the presence of Pandian in his evidence.When P.W.7 would specifically admit that the said Pandian, who had last seen the deceased alive, was available at the scene and he was examined by the police, it is not known as to why P.W.14 had failed to state that Pandian was not available and so, he was not examined.Only thereafter, the Finger Print Expert was examined as P.W.17, through whom all these documents viz., Exs.P.24 to P.29 were marked.It is the statement of the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C. that they were compelled to give their finger prints.Though it is stated by P.W.17 that he went to the spot on 24.12.1997 itself and took the chance finger prints found on the auto, there is no reason as to why he had not sent the final reports such as Exs.P.24 to P.29 immediately either to the Court or to the Police Officer.As a matter of fact, all these documents have been prepared even according to P.W.17 only after getting the summons from the Court.It is the specific evidence of P.W.17 that even on 24.12.1997, he was present at the scene of occurrence.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Briefly the facts are that the complainant one Suresh Chand had lodged a report at P.S. Preet Vihar, Delhi at about 1100 p.m. on 17/11/94 where this report was registered as DD No. 20A. He has alleged that he along with his two co-villagers Satbir and Rakesh travelled in a bus after visiting the then Agriculture Minister, and alighted from the bus at Shakarpur Chowk and while going to ALT Ghaziabad Bus stop near Coffee Home to catch a bus to Ghaziabad for going to river Ganges, a girl named Aarti Hejmadi hit him from behind with an iron rod, two other persons accompanying her also gave beating to him with iron rods.When his two companions came to resuce him, she had fired at him but the bullet passed over his head.Due to fear of shooting, his two companions went away.It was also alleged that at that time Aarti had told him that ""he had slapped me in the bus, to take revenge she would kill him and had also abused him.In the crowded bus Arti Hejmadi d/o P. Hejmadi who was claiming herself to be from Lady Hardinge Medical College.She was standing in the crowded bus and was holding the overhead rod and she said that you, (Suresh Chand) had put your hand on her hand by which she was holding the rod.ORDER J.B. Goel, J.This petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (for short the 'Code') and Article 227 of the Constitution of India seeks for setting aside of summoning order dated 17.2.1996 passed by learned Metropolitan Magistrate, Karkardooma and for quashing of FIR No. 72/95 registered at P.S. Preet Vihar, Delhi under Sections 307/323/34 IPC.Some motorists came there and then the said girl went away on a motorcycle along with her two accomplices.After registration of the DD a copy of it was entrusted to ASI Sompal Singh who made inquiries and recorded statements of several persons from the neighbourhood area, but he did not find any truth or substance in the report and case was not registered.However, it appears that the complainant pursued the matter further with higher police officers and then on 6.4.1995 a case FIR No. 72/95 under Sections 307/323/34 IPC was registered.During investigation some more statements from neighbouring area and also of the alleged two companions of the complainant were recorded.The petitioner had also given a written reply dated 28.5.1995 that she was on duty at Safdarjung Hospital at the relevant time supported by the certificate from the doctor Incharge of her Department.The prior incident in which complainant had misbehaved with the petitioner in a bus and in which he was arrested was also taken notice of and a report was submitted to the Magistrate suggesting that there was no truth in the complaint, it was false and bogus and recommending to close the matter.The petitioner has filed the present petition for quashing the aforesaid proceedings, being misconceived and mala fide.The proceedings before the trial court have been stayed by this Court.The complainant was imp leaded as respondent No. 2 in these proceedings.Notice was served upon him but he did not put in appearance.I have heard Shri Mohit Mathur, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms. Seema Gulati for the State.Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the police had investigated the case, collected the relevant material and on the basis of such material had recommended that the complaint was false and no case is made out but the learned M.M. has acted illegally and with material irregularity in taking cognizance and summoning the petitioner.He has relied on the material collected by the IO, the background to the case and also certain case law.Whereas learned counsel for the State has contended that the petitioner should have approached the Court concerned before coming to this Court and if she feels that no case is made out she could urge the same before the Trial court instead of coming to this Court invoking extraordinary jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of this Court.It has a previous history as noticed hereinafter.Report lodged by the complainant at 11.00 p.m. on 17.11.1994 on which DD No. 20A was recorded (Annexure-B is its English translation filed with the Petition) reads as under :-""At 11.00 p.m. registered and the person mentioned in column No. 2 has made his statement that on 9.6.93 I was travelling in a D.T.C. Bus.At this she punched her elbow into my stomach on which I told that girl to be a misbehaved person.She slapped me, on which I also slapped her.She got the case reported at the Police Station Parliament Street under Section 506 IPC and I was taken into custody.I was acquitted from the case by the Magistrate at the Patiala House Courts.On 19.3.94 that girl had fired on me at the Shahid Bhagat Singh Marg for which I had lodged an FIR at P.S. Mandir Marg, in that case the police officials did not do anything and instead hushed up the case.Today I along with two farmers of my village namely Satbir s/o Jouhari and Rakesh s/o Shiv Charan went to meet Agricultural Minister Sh.Balram Jakhar in relation to the paved passages for the fields of the farmers.Later on return I was going along with these two persons for a dip at the Ganges.After alighting from the bus at Shakarpur Chowk, I was going towards Coffee Home ALT Bus stop to catch a bus to go to ALT Ghaziabad.A girl hit me by the iron rod on my back, and two other persons who were accompanying this girl also beat me with iron rod.When the two persons who were accompanying me tried to rescue me, Arti Hejmadi fired at me from behind, the bullet passed over my head.Out of fear from the shooting, my companions left the spot in order to save their lives.After that Arti told me ""You had slapped me in the bus, I will take my revenge by taking your life"" and further added ""I will kill you today"", and abused me.After that when 2-4 motorists came towards us, this girl left the spot on the motorcycle alongwith the two boys.Even after waiting for a long time when the police did not reach, I have come to the police station to lodge the report.SI Sompal Singh had made inquiries in the matter.He has recorded the statements of several persons from neighbouring area on 18.11.1994 and 22.11.1994 who had stated that no such incident had at all taken place at the aforesaid time and place.The complainant was also medically examined at SDM Hospital, Shahdara on 17.11.1994 vide MLC No. 4830/94 (C-72043) and the Doctor had noticed the following injuries :.ls1 ""1 Contusion injury (L) Middle of leg2. Lacerated Injury overC/o loosening of cipper (L) med.incisor tooth.However, clinically no signs of bleeding locally.No fracture clinically.The injuries were opined to be simple.If there was pre-planned attack with iron rods by three persons and firearm was actually used, the nature and extent of injuries perhaps would have been more serious.These injuries are not such which could not have been self inflicted or manipulated to create false evidence.After the FIR was registered on 6.4.1995 statements of two companions of the complainant Satbir and Rakesh were recorded who have not supported the complainant in material respects and have made statements at variance to his statement.Statement of some more persons from the neighbouring areas were also recorded who have also denied that any such occurrence had taken place.The matter is to be seen in the light of this legal position.The petitioner had alleged that at the time of occurrence his two co-villagers Satbir and Rakesh were with him.""About 4-5 months back I alongwith Suresh and Satbir who are my co-villagers had gone to meet the Agriculture Minister, Shri Balram Jakhar but the Minister did not meet and his P.A. has met at about 3.00 p.m. and after meeting him we got a bus at about 3.05 p.m. and got down from the bus at about 3.15 p.m. at Shakarpur Chowk and proceeded to catch a bus for going to Ghaziabad and at about 3.20 p.m. when we reached near Coffee Home two persons and a girl came on a motor cycle.All the three were armed with Iron rods and all the three gave blows with series on Suresh Chand.I and Satbir tried to rescue him but the said girl fired a shot and I and Satbir ran away and I do not know what happened thereafter and I alongwith Satbir went to Ghaziabad and then reached Anup Shahr at about 8.00 p.m. and Suresh had met us 15/20 days thereafter in the village.""Satbir in his statement recorded on 18.4.95 has stated as follows, so far is relevant (English translation) :-""I am agriculturist and in November 1994 I alongwith Suresh Chand Sharma and another person whose name he did not know had gone to meet the Agriculture Minister and took a DTC bus in which we reached at about 5.00 p.m. at Shakarpur Chowk.We had gone some distance when two boys alongwith a girl came on a motorcycle.One of the two boys got down from his motorcycle and started giving beatings to Suresh Chand with saria when I and my companion tried to rescue him the other boy fired a shot and on this shooting we separated from Suresh who had fallen down.The two boys alongwith that girl went away.We brought Suresh to Jagatpuri, Shahdara at the house of one Balbir Dahiya in a bus upto Shahdara and then in a cycle rickshaw.Suresh was left there and I and Rakesh went to Anup Shahr to take a dip in the Ganga and reached there at about 9.00 p.m. The girl who was accompanying the aforesaid two boys did nothing nor she had uttered any words.I could not recognise that girl but I can identify the two boys"".Both these witnesses have not supported the complainant on material aspects including the time of occurrence.According to Rakesh they had got down from the bus at Shakarpur Chowk at about 3.15 p.m. and obviously the occurrence according to him would have taken place at about that time.Satbir on the other hand had stated that they had reached there at about 5.00 p.m. In the complaint the time of occurrence is not mentioned but in subsequent statement under Section 161 of the Code of the complainant, the time of occurrence stated is 8.00 p.m. On his report DD No. 20A was recorded at 11.00 p.m. There is great variance in these three statements about the time of occurrence.Rakesh in his statement has stated that the girl and her two companions were armed with iron rods (saria) and all the three had given saria blows to Suresh Sharma and the said girl had fired a shot at Suresh.Satbir has stated that one of the two boys had given saria blows to Suresh Sharma while the other boy had fired.He does not assign any overt act to the petitioner and does not support the other two.He has further stated that he, Rakesh and Suresh had gone to the house of one Balbir in Jagatpuri, Shahdara and left Suresh there.Both Suresh and Rakesh do not corroborate him that they had gone to the house of Balbir Dahiya in Jagatpuri.These are not minor variations but major contradictions which make their statements untruthful and untrustworthy.Complainant Suresh Chand in his statement under Section 161 dated 11.4.1995 has admitted that at the complaint of Arti Hejmadi, a FIR No. 206/93 under Section 509 was registered at P.S. Parliament Street regarding his alleged behaviour while both were travelling in a bus and in that case he remained in jail for over two months, at that time he had written letters to Arti Hejmadi from jail requesting her to withdraw her complaint and to get him released to enable him to attend the marriage of his sister which she did not agree.He had earlier also lodged a complaint against her on 19.3.94 at P.S. Mandir Marg against her about shooting by her.That complaint was also found baseless and the matter was dropped.The learned M.M. has given the following reasons while taking cognizance:""A notice was issued to the complainant who appeared in person and has opposed the request for cancellation of the case.I have heard the complainant, Ld. APP and the IO and have gone through the record.The learned Magistrate has not only misread the statements of the complainant and his two witnesses, he has completely ignored the material contradictions.The circumstances appearing on the record show that the complaint is wholly misconceived, for oblique motives, maliciously instituted with ulterior motive for wrecking the vengeance on the petitioner and with a view to spite her due to personal grudge and mala fides and the same ought not to have been allowed to perpetuate the injustice on the petitioner.","['Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 228 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 509 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Savita d/o Narhari Jaware is the resident of village Antri.She has a maternal aunt by name Sou.Police Patil of the said village is PW-7 Ganpat Devman Mahajan.On the day of incident i.e. on 12-11-1987, prosecutrix Ku.Savita, was asked to go to the field of her father at Antri to protect the crops.At that time she was aged about 16 years.The time was about 7 a.m. Her father had gone to village Motala.Her mother had gone to the other field.Prosecutrix went to the said field known as ""Ambewali"" field with a dog.When she reached to the field, it was at about 7.30 a.m. She tied her dog to Beri tree and she sat below the Bel tree.She started reading 'Gajanan Stotra', as it was her fast day.There was standing crop of cotton in the field.It is alleged that accused No. 1 i.e. respondent No. 1 - Rameshwar Shridhar Jaware, who was aged about 22 years, came in the field.He asked her whether there was anybody in the field.She told that she was alone.Thereafter accused No. 2 i.e. Respondent No. 2 - Eknath Onkar Jaware, aged about 21 years also came to the field.He told that his bullocks had entered in the standing crops of cotton in her field, so he was going to catch the bullocks.All of a sudden, respondent No. 1 caught hold her hands and dragged her towards the standing crops of cotton.She was crying and questioning him as to why she was being dragged.At that time Respondent No. 2 came running there.They both, then, dragged her despite her resistance.They took her to the crops of cotton.They made her to lie down forcibly.Respondent No. 2 by his both hands pressed her mouth and put his leg on her neck.He pressed her breast.Respondent No. 1 removed her inner pant by lifting Maxi.Respondent No. 1 also removed his inner pant and he committed forcible intercourse with her, She suffered severe pain.Respondent No. 1 threatened her for not telling about the incident to anybody, He also threatened her saying that if she tells about the incident to anybody, it would not be good.There was bleeding.According to her, respondent No. 1 had committed rape on her by penetrating his penis into her vagina.Because of this, she had suffered severe pain.It is alleged that there were stains of blood and semen on her Maxi & inner pant.She went to her house weeping along with her dog.Her elder sister Manda, PW-8 was there.She narrated the incident to her on her questioning as to why she was weeping.Thereafter her mother who had gone to 'Tikkewali' field and her father who had gone to Motala, were called.It is alleged that, at the relevant time i.e. while committing the offence, respondent No. 1 was wearing Manila, full-pant and inner pant and respondent No. 2 was wearing full-shirt and trou-ser.Her aunt Sou.Kasturabai PW-6 came there.The incident was narrated to her also.After reaching of the father of the prosecutrix PW-5 Ku.Savita, they went to Police Patil PW-7 Ganpat Mahajan.He was apprised about the incident and thereafter they i.e. prosecutrix Ku.Savita, her father, her aunt Sou.Kasturabai and Police Patil started going to police Station.On the way, Police Patil PW-7"" Ganpat Mahajan asked PW-6 Kasturabai to verify the fact of rape and whether there were any signs of rape on the person or on the clothes of the prosecutrix Ku.They went in the field by name 'Mala'.PW-6 Kasutrabai verified that her inner pant & Maxi had blood stains and white semen stains.Then they went to Police Station Borakhedi.3.

Dongaonkar, J.Challenge of the appellant State in this appeal is to the judgment of the learned Sessions Judge, Buldana, in Criminal Appeal No. 9/1990, by which he allowed the appeal preferred by the respondents who were held guilty by the Assistant Sessions Judge, Buldana, for the offences punishable under Section 376 and 354 r/w Section 34 of Indian Penal Code, each of them being sentenced to suffer R.I. for 7 years and to pay fine of Rs. 1000/- each, in default R.I. for 6 months, in Sessions Case No. 61/1988, and acquitted them of the charge.The prosecution case in nutshell is that, prosecutrix PW-5 Ku.The clothes of the prosecutrix Ku.Savita were also seized as per Seizure Panchnama Exh. 34 in his presence.After due investigation and on receipt of C.A. Report Exh. 24, the respondents were charge-sheeted for the aforesaid offences.The respondents pleaded not guilty.The prosecution has examined the aforesaid witnesses to establish the guilt of the accused/respondents, besides PW-3 Headmaster, Maroti Ingle, who had produced the school leaving certificate of the prosecutrix to prove her date of birth as per Exh. 30 and PW-4, HC Rane, who had carried out some part of investigation.The respondents abjured the guilt and examined 4 witnesses in defence.Their defence mainly is that in the said village there is habit of lodging false reports of ""rape"".Police Patil is also facing a case of rape and he is instrumental to lodge some such false reports.It is also their defence that due to inimical terms between the prosecution witnesses and the respondents & their relatives, a false case has been reported against the respondents.DW-1 Prakash Khiste has been examined to prove the blood group of Respondent- No. 1 Rameshwar.DW-2 Watsalabai Bundhe has been examined to show that she had also filed a criminal case against Raghunath Suradkar and Pundlik Mandar about the rape and that was a false case.DW-3 Ramdas Haramkar has been examined to show the bad terms between the prosecution witnesses and the respondents' relatives.DW-4 Retd.ASI Keshaorao Patil has been examined to prove the report lodged by the prosecutrix Ku.Savita, mainly to prove that he had written the report as per her say.The learned trial Judge, after hearing the parties, came to the conclusion that prosecutrix Ku.Savita has led trustworthy evidence and she is an artless village woman whose testimony inspires confidence and she cannot make out a false charge of rape against the respondents.He, therefore, held respondents guilty of the offences charged and convicted & sentenced them, however, he did not award any separate sentence against the respondents for the offence under Section 354 of Indian Penal Code.The respondents challenged this judgment of conviction and sentence in the Court of Sessions Judge, Buldana.He also considered the fact that there was total discrepant version as regards Maxi, Parkar (Petticoat) and the uniform of the prosecutrix.There was clear doubt as to which clothes she was wearing at the time of incident.Accordingly, he allowed the appeal and acquitted the respondents.In fact, the Police Patil PW-7 Ganpat Mahajan is himself facing a rape charge and therefore, the evidence of prosecutrix Ku.Savita should not be considered as trustworthy, more so because it is riddled with so many improbabilities and also because the medical evidence is contrary to what she has stated about the incident.DW-2 Watsalabai had also deposed about the habit of lodging false report and in fact she stated that Police Patil informed her to make a false allegations against Raghunath Suradkar and Pundlik Mandar about committing rape on her.She has also stated that her husband had advised her that they are required to reside in the village, therefore, she had filed false rape case against them.What is more she has stated is that Police Patil had informed her to break her bangles and a lantern and thereafter her saree was taken away and brought the same after containing some stains of semen and thereafter she, Police Patil and other villagers had gone to the police station and she was required to put thumb print on her complaint, if such is the evidence led by a woman of the village, it is rather must to find out whether the prosecutrix Savita is reliable or not and whether her evidence is corroborated from some independent source.This takes us to consider the medical evidence on record.(10) X-ray of wris St. AP both hands, elbow are advised for conformation of age.Report regarding age of Pt.will be given after examination.It is rather surprising and shocking that in the said certificate he has not mentioned as to whether there were signs of any recent intercourse.But the fact remains that the injuries stated by him are abrasion on dorsal aspect of the hands.He has specifically stated that there were no injuries or scratches seen on thigh, breast, back and private parts.The case of the prosecution is that she was dragged first by Respondent No. 1 Rameshwar and then by both respondents in the field of cotton crops.She was made to lie down, respondent No. 2 pressed her mouth and respondent No. 1 committed forcible intercourse with her after removing her inner wear and also his own and all the time she was resisting.She is a girl of about 16 to 18 years.She is from village.It is difficult to believe that had she resisted, she would have suffered only two small injuries that too of a very little dimensions on the dorsal sides of her arms.Savita, there was complete sexual intercourse with emission.But then the CAs Report does not show the existence of semen in the vaginal smear and the clothes.It is clear that had there been complete intercourse as alleged by the prosecutrix Ku.Savita, some semen & spermatozoa would have been found on these slides.Therefore, the medical evidence as well as the report of C.A. runs contrary to the evidence of the prosecutrix.The learned appellate Judge has pointed out several discrepancies in the evidence of prosecutrix Ku.Savita and other witnesses including Police Patil.It is rather difficult to say that all these observations made by him are incorrect or perverse, though to some of them we are unable to concur.But fact remains that this is not a case of 'no corroboration' to the evidence of the prosecutrix, but it is a case of medical evidence being contrary to her story.The learned A.P.P. is unable to explain as to how such evidence can be reconciled with the theory of the prosecutrix that there was forcible complete intercourse despite her resistance in a field of cotton crops without resulting into any injuries on her rest of the body.In the instant case, we had called for the clothes of the prosecutrix Ku.There is lot of difference between the clothes; Maxi and the petticoat.Savita in her evidence has stated that at the time of incident, she had a Maxi on her person and there were stains of blood & semen on her Maxi and the inner pant.It is also pertinent to note that the clothes on her person were taken by the Medical Officer, PW-1 Dr. Dilip Kulkarni.He has stated that she was wearing petticoat.He also stated that she was wearing inner pant of greenish colour with strip, which was soaked with blood stains and other stains, the same was preserved for analysis.Savita, on the contrary that evidence tend to cast doubt on the prosecution version.","['Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal

+"By this petition the petitioner, a M.C.D. contractor, who is one of the accused in Sessions Case No. 75/97, FIR No. 340/96, P.S.Okhla Industri-al Area, under sections 364/302/201/216/411/120B/ 34, IPC seeks bail.The accusation against the petitioner is that he along with his associates, namely, Kamal Singh @ Shaily, Vibhor Singh @ Lovi, Vijay Mohan Sharma @ Minto, Dr. Hemant Kalra, Viney Kumar @ Vinu, Ravi Prakash @ Ravi @ Shard Gupta/Agarwal, Kamal Kumar @ Pinki and Jaindender Kumar Tyagi @ JK, were involved in the macabre crime in which three persons were murdered.The victims were Dr. Sunil Kaul, proprietor of Personal Point, and his two employees Sujata Saha and Deepa Sharma.As per information gathered during the investigation, several criminal cases are pending against him.Prosecution has also brought to the fore the accusation of alleged ill will between Vijay Prakash and one Zile Singh contractor.There was a murderous attack on him for which case F.I.R. No. 298/95 was registered.The involvement of Ravi Prakash and petitioner Subhash Gupta was suspected in the incident.Subhash Gupta in the year 1995 joined Personal Point and was allegedly attracted towards Sujata Saha.Sujata Saha spurned the advances of Subhash Gupta.Subhash Gupta suspected Sujata Saha to be involved with Dr. Kaul and this, according to the counsel for respondent, led to the showing of the seeds of conspiracy resulting in the murders.In the evening of June 6, Dr. Sunil Kaul, Sujata Saha and Deepa Sharma visited the office of accused Subhash Gupta, located at M.C.D. Office, Okhla, as Dr. Kaul wanted to expand his business and for this purpose was expecting loan from him.It is from this place that three of them were kidnapped by the accused and before doing that they were drugged which is indicated by the recovery of empty ampoules of calmpose injections from the office of the petitioner and the statement of one Madan Lal recorded under section 161 of Code of Criminal Procedure according to which three of them while coming out of the office of the petitioner and walking towards the cars were being supported by the accused.There was a third car, Maruti 800, which had a U.P. number.In the BMW car, driven by Subhash Gupta, besides him and the above said two ladies, accused Vijay Mohan Sharma @ Minto and Kamal Kumar @ Pinki were also seated.Maruti 1000 was driven by accused No. 2 Kamal Singh @ shaily, and besides him and Dr. Kaul, accused Ravi Prakash and accused Dr. Hemant Kalra were also seated, Maruti 800 was driven by accused Vibhor Singh @ Lovi.All the three cars left the office of the petitioner one after the other.On the night intervening 6th and 7th June 1996, Nitin Gupta, son of the petitioner Subhash Gupta, lodged an F.I.R. No. 340 of 1996 under section 365 I.P.C. at P.S. Okhla as the latter had not returned home.He along with the F.I.R. produced a driving licence of Dr. Kaul which was found by him in the office of Subhash Gupta.The police registered the FIR and visited the office of Subhash Gupta where torn cheques of Rs. 6 lacs each were seized along with the broken ampoules of calmpose and torn pieces of ransom note in the handwriting of Subhash Gupta were found.The ransom note was pieced together which conveyed that the petitioner had been kidnapped and the kidnappers were demanding a ransom of Rs. 50 lacs.On 7th June 1996 the car of Dr. Kaul was found abandoned at Hodal.On the same day at about 3.30 P.M. dead body of Dr. Kaul was found in a field at Hodal.The body bore two bullet injuries.On 9th June 1996 dead bodies of Sujata Saha and Deepa Sharma were recovered in a highly decomposed state at Bhind, Moraha M.P. On 10th June 1996 a call was received at the house of Subhash Gupta that he was in Bombay in Hotel Leela.On receipt of this information, a police party under the charge of Inspector Balwinder Singh was sent to Bombay.The petitioner and his BMW car were found by the police party at the above said hotel.The BMW car of the petitioner was inspected at Bombay.As per the report of the CFSL expert at Bombay, blood stains on the mat of the car were found.""If you not become mine I murdered you and same time I made to suicide myself.""As per the opinion of the hand writing expert the diary is written in the handwriting of the petitioner.It was allegedly written by the petitioner during the time Sujata Saha had gone to South India on tour along with her parents.The obsession of the petitioner for Sujata Saha is evident from the fact that he along with his younger brother Anil Gupta and Arvind Malik, a Junior Engineer in the M.C.D., followed her to South India in his Toyota Car.In April 1996 Sujata Saha along with a friend and her husband Ajay Nagpal, whose statements were recorded by the Investigating Agency under section 161 Cr.P.C., went to Shirdi for pilgrimage.Subhash Gupta sent accused Ravi Prakash and Dr. Hemant Kalra to Bombay by air.The duo from Bombay proceeded to Shirdi by car and stayed at Hotels Sharan and Guraia under assumed names.The hotel records were seized by the Investigating Agency.The apathy of Sujata Saha towards the petitioner is apparent from the fact that the petitioner had presented air tickets to her and her family for undertaking the trip to the South India but the same were not utilised by her and on the contrary the tickets were torn to pieces which were recovered from her drawer during investigation.From 2nd May 1996 to 4th May 1996, accused Ravi Prakash, Pinky, Shaily were staying in Mohan Hotel, Ashok Vihar Delhi.Thereafter they shifted to Centaur Hotel, Delhi, where they were joined by accused Deepak Das and witness Saurav Bhatt.As per the respondent the record of the cellular phone of the petitioner, which was seized, shows that during this period the petitioner was in touch with the above said accused persons.Statement of one Balbir Singh, contractor, was recorder under section 161 of the Cr.P.C. in which it has come that huge money was handed over by the petitioner to Shaily during this period.Besides, he is also stated to have seen the arrival of Dr. Kaul, Sujata Saha and Deepa Gupta to the office of Subhash Gupta.Even mithlesh was sent to Lajpat Nagar to get apples and packets of fruit juice.When he returned he was again sent to run another errand.This time he was asked to get bottles of Bisleri.On his return he found the office to be empty.Mithlesh also speaks about the fact that earlier Subhash Gupta had given him instructions not to let Gyan Bir enter his office after he brings sweets from Haldiram.According to him he acted on the instructions of Subhash Gupta and took the sweets from Gyan Bir had brought the sweets and left the office for his house, Mithlesh was sent to Lajpat Nagar.ORDER Anil Dev Singh, J.The expert opined that the stains found in the car were of human blood.From the dicky of the car, fibres were recovered and as per the report of the CFSL at Bombay the fibres were from the bed sheet in which Sujata Saha's body was wrapped.The investigation mounted by the Investigating Agency culminated in the filing of the charge sheet against the petitioner and nine others accused, namely, Kamal Singh @ Shaily, Vibhor Singh @ Lovi, Vijay Mohan Sharma @ Minto, Dr. Hemant Kalra, Viney Kumar @ Vinu, Ravi Prakash @ Ravi @ shard Gupta/Agarwal, Kamal Kumar @ Pinki and Jaindender Kumar Tyagi @ JK.All the accused are standing their trial before the learned Additional Sessions Judge.It may be pointed out that this application was filed on the ground that he was suffering from depression and his condition warranted his release from jail.Having failed to secure the bail from the trial court the petitioner has moved the instant petition seeking bail.Learned counsel for the petitioner in support of his bail application argued that the petitioner himself was victim of kidnapping by Ravi Prakash and his associates and was not in any manner involved in the murders.It was pointed out that pieces of ransom note and two torn cheques of Rs. 6 lacs each were found from the office of Subhash Gupta by the police.He further submitted that the kidnapping of the petitioner along with the three deceased is also proved from the fact that when he was examined on 11th June 1996 at Bombay he was having the following injuries:-Radish Blue bruise with swelling measuring 8 cm x 3 cm on the back of chest situated on centre.2. Radish blue bruises with swelling and pain measuring 8 cm x 3 cm on the back of the right chest - present vertically.3. Injection prick mark present over both elbows.He submitted that as per the opinion of the doctor the injuries were of a duration of more than 48 hours and hat the injuries 1 and 2 were caused with blunt force and injury No. 3 was caused by an injection prick.Learned counsel also submitted that the petitioner was in love with Sujata Saha and there was no reason for him to kill her.He further pointed out that he had already advanced money to Dr. Kaul for which he was getting good return and this being so, there was no reason to get rid of Dr. Kaul.He further canvassed that torn pieces of ransom note were deliberately left by the petitioner to give evidence to his story that he was also kidnapped along with the deceased persons.Learned counsel invited my attention to the material on record to support the prosecution story.It has also been revealed during investigation that on May 1, 1996 the petitioner withdrew a sum of Rs. 5 lacs in cash from Oriental Bank of Commerce at Paharganj.Investigation shows that on 5/6th June 1996 accused Ravi Prakash, Shaily and Pinki stayed in Mohan Hotel, Ashok Vihar, New Delhi, for the second time.According to Ashok Maniktala, whose statement was recorded under section 161 Cr.P.C., the boy was 6' 3"" and on the information given by the petitioner was studying for his I.A.S. He also stated that on enquiry he came to know that the boy was related to some officer in the M.C.D. The prosecution claims that reference in the above statements is obviously to Ravi Prakash.Maniktala has also stated that he will be able to recognise the person who was staying in the house of the petitioner.Statement of one Gyan Bir, who was employed as Beldar by the petitioner, was recorded by the Investigating Agency during investigation.Gyan Bir, in his statement under section 161 if Cr.P.C., alluded to the fact that on the evening of 6th June 1996 he was asked by the petitioner to bring sweets from the shop of Haldiram located at Badarpur even though he had suggested to the petitioner that he could get the sweets from nereby Chawla Sweets.As per the suggestion of the prosocution, Gyan Bir was sent to the far off shop of Haldiram so that he does not see as to what was taking place at the petitioner's office between the accused on the one hand and Dr. Kaul, Sujata Saha and Deepa Gupta on the other.The respondent suggests that the conduct of Subhash Gupta a shows that he did not want his chowkidar and Beldar to be witnesses to what was taking place in his office between the accused persons and the deceased.One Madan Lal, Kabari, who was passing by the office of Subhash Gupta and another person.He stated that the two ladies were made to sit in a grey coloured car.He also saw that similarly another person was brought out from the office of Subhash Gupta with the help and assistance of two persons and was made to sit in the back seat of a white coloured Maruti car.He also refers to the fact that the cars left on after the other.As per him the grey car was being driven by Subhash Gupta.A strong submission was made on behalf of the respondent that the theory that Subhash Gupta was also kidnaped with Dr. Kaul, Sujata Saha and Deepa Sharma as advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner during arguments is totally discounted by the statement of Madan Lal.According to Ashwini Saini, he is known to Ravi Prakash who had told him that he was a sales tax inspector in Delhi.On arrival, Ravi Prakash Introduced Subhash Gupta at his officer to Saini and one of the ladies who was in jeans as the wife of Subhash Gupta: Saini was told that one of their cars had broken down and that they would rest in his house by the time their car was repaired.As per Saini, he left his house for his work and told Ravi Prakash that in case he was not back by the time they left, the key of the house should be given to the neighbour.Saini is stated to have returned at 7.30 in the evening and found that Ravi Prakash and his associates were ready to leave.He, however, did not find the two ladies and enquired about them.He was told by Ravi Prakash that they had already left in the other car and that the accused would be meeting them at the petrol pump.Saini also stated that after a few days he read about the murder of the two ladies and also saw their photographs in a newspaper.He also read the news relating to the murder of Dr. Kaul.In order to find out the details he is stated to have gone to Baroda and met accused Deepak Das, who was known to him and also to Ravi Prakash.Deepak Das gave the address of Ravi Prakash, Kamal Kumar and two other associates who were staying in Hotel Sweet Dream.Saini refers to the fact that Ravi Prakash on seeing him felt ashamed for having betrayed his confidence and stated that he had murdered the two ladies at the behest of the petitioner.Blood stains were found in the BMW car of the petitioner and as per the opinion of the expert of the C.F.S.L. Bombay, the mats of the car were stained with human blood.Some fibres were also found from the boot of the car and as per the report of the C.F.S.L. the fibres were from the same bad sheet in which Sujata Saha's body was wrapped.Saini in his statement confirmed that after the accused left he found one bed sheet to be missing.The torn pieces of the bed sheet in which Sujata Saha's body was found was identified by Saini as the one found missing from his house.As Per the prosecution, another clinching factor which proves the complicity of the petitioner in the crime is that he had employed one Vikram Singh, Managing Director of a detective agency, to tail Sujata Saha.Vikram Singh in his statement has pointed out that the petitioner had specifically told him on 5th June 1996 as she was to remain in her office till 6 P.M. on that day and was to meet him thereafter.Learned counsel for the respondent made a strong plea that calling off the surveillance for 6th June 1996 when the deceased were kidnapped is crucial.In case the surveillance was not called of it would have been difficult to implement the plan.Having regard to the above material, ex facie the petitioner cannot claim that he along with the deceased was kidnapped by the other accused persons and was not privy to the crime.",['Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"A.No.02/16 by which conviction and sentence awarded by the Trial Court in Case FIR No.890/2015 registered under Section 356/379/411 IPC at Police Station Saket were upheld.The petitioner was sentenced to undergo Simple Imprisonment for three years for commission of offence punishable under Section 379 IPC and Simple Imprisonment for one year under Section 356 IPC.Both the sentences were directed to run consecutively i.e. one after the other.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have examined the file.The incident of mobile snatching took place on 27.7.2015 at around 11.00 p.m. The Investigating Officer on receipt of the complaint Crl.Rev.318/2016 Page 1 of 3 (Ex.PW-1/A) lodged the FIR on the same day.In the complaint, the complainant Shilpi Singh disclosed that while she was crossing the road at Select City Walk Mall, her mobile phone was snatched by the petitioner.On her raising alarm, he was arrested near the spot and the mobile was recovered from his possession.Instant Revision petition has been preferred by the petitioner to impugn a judgment dated 29.2.2016 of learned District and Sessions Judge in Crl.During investigation, statements of the witnesses conversant with the facts were recorded.Upon completion of investigation, a charge-sheet was filed against the petitioner for commission of the aforesaid offences.In order to establish its case, the prosecution examined four witnesses.In his 313 statement, the petitioner denied his involvement in the crime and pleaded false implication.The trial resulted in conviction, as aforesaid.The appeal preferred by the petitioner resulted in its dismissal.Rev.318/2016 Page 1 of 3In her court statement as PW-1, the complainant proved the version given to the police at first instance without major variations.She identified the petitioner to be the assailant who had snatched the mobile phone on 27.7.2015 at around 11.00 p.m., when she had come out of Select City Mall and was crossing the road.The petitioner was arrested vide arrest memo (Ex.PW-1/D).P1 is the mobile snatched from her.She was cross- examined at length.However, despite searching cross-examination, nothing material could be extracted to disbelieve her statement.No ulterior motive was assigned to the complainant for implicating the petitioner in a false case.The complainant was not acquainted with the petitioner prior to the incident.She had no ill-will or animosity to falsely rope him in the case.The complainant being a victim must be interested to bring the real culprit to book.In 313 Cr.P.C. statement, the petitioner admitted his apprehension at the spot.He also admitted that the mobile was recovered from his Crl.Rev.318/2016 Page 2 of 3 possession.However, he took the defence that someone else has snatched the mobile phone and had thrown it on the ground.When it was lifted by him innocently, he was falsely implicated in this case.This defence does not inspire confidence; it deserves outright rejection.The defence pleaded is contrary to the suggestions put to the complainant in the cross-examination.As per PW-3's (ASI Lav Kumar) testimony, the mobile was recovered from the petitioner's pocket.Rev.318/2016 Page 2 of 3The petitioner, however, cannot be held guilty under two offences i.e. one under Section 379 IPC and the other under Section 356 IPC simultaneously.The offence proved would fall either under Section 379 IPC or 356 IPC.For a single transaction i.e. snatching of mobile from the complainant, the petitioner cannot be held liable for two distinct offences.He cannot be awarded different sentences in both the offences and that too to run consecutively i.e. one after the other.The revision petition stands disposed of in the above terms.Trial Court record be sent back forthwith with copy of the order.Intimation be sent to Superintendent Jail.(S.P.GARG) JUDGE APRIL 21, 2017/sa Crl.Rev.318/2016 Page 3 of 3Rev.318/2016 Page 3 of 3","['Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Omkar Singh is the Investigating Officer.He has stated in his statement that on 10.5.1998 he was posted in P.S. Mubarakpur.On that day at 22.30 P.M. Crime No.295 of 1998 under Section 302.504,506 I.P.C. was registered in his presence at P.S. Mubarakpur.He took investigation into his hands and made copy of chik F.I.R. and G.D. relating to registration of crime in case diary.Thereafter, on 11.5.1998 he recorded statement of complainant Nasim Anwar under Section 161 Cr.P.C. and inspected torch of complainant Nasim Anwar in the light of which he has seen occurrence.Thereafter he entrusted the torch in his supurdagi.P.W.-6 S.I.

Both of them stated that they have been falsely implicated due to enmity.D.W.-1 Jagdamba Prasad Dubey, Junior Engineer, Electricity department was examined on behalf of accused appellants in defence.Learned Additional Session Judge, Court No.5, Azamgarh heard the arguments of both the parties and passed impugned judgement and order, whereby he has convicted and sentenced accused appellants as mentioned above.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that accused appellants are innocent and have been falsely implicated.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that F.I.R. is anti time and prosecution case is false and concocted.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that prosecution has examined three witnesses of occurrence.Out of which P.W.-1 Abu Talha and P.W.-2 Anwar Ahmad have not supported version of prosecution and they have been declared hostile.Only P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has supported version of prosecution but Nasim Anwar is neither injured nor blood stains were found on his body or cloths.Therefore, there is no guarantee of his presence at the time of occurrence.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar is full of contradiction also and it is quite unsafe to place reliance upon his solitary statement.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that prosecution has failed to prove the source of light.He further contended that I.O. has not shown electric bulb in site plan and D.W.-1 Jagdamba Prasad Dubey, Junior Engineer has stated on oath that at the time of occurrence there was no supply of electricity.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that prosecution has failed to prove motive of occurrence also.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that investigation is defective.I.O. has not shown in site plan place of witnesses from where they have seen occurrence.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in cross examination that police took the dead body of his father to police station in the night of occurrence at about 11 or 11.30 P.M., while the inquest report Ext. Ka-12 shows that it has been prepared on spot on 11.5.1998 between 5.15 A.M. to 6.30 A.M.. This also leads to adverse inference against truthfulness of prosecution version.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that occurrence has taken place in dark night by unknown person and the accused appellants have been falsely implicated due to enmity.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that in view of above contentions, the evidence on record is not sufficient to convict accused appellants, therefore, the conviction recorded by trial court is against evidence as well as law.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended that accused appellant Jamil was juvenile at the time of occurrence.Therefore, whole trial is vitiated.Learned counsel for accused appellants prayed that both the appeals should be allowed and both accused appellants should be acquitted.Learned counsel for accused appellants placed reliance on following pronouncements of Hon'ble Apex Court:-1- Meharaj Singh (L/Nk.) Vs.2- Marudanal Augusti Vs.Learned A.G.A. contended that F.I.R. is prompt and P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar is the son of deceased and is a natural witness.His solitary statement is sufficient to convict accused appellants.Learned A.G.A. contended that the statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar is corroborated by medical evidence as well as statement of I.O. and site plan.Learned A.G.A. contended that accused appellant Jamil has not pressed plea of juvenility before trial court.Learned A.G.A. contended that the conviction recorded by trial court is in accordance with law and sentences awarded by trial court are not excessive, therefore, there is no sufficient ground for interference in the impugned judgement and order.Learned A.G.A. prayed that the appeal should be dismissed.We have considered the submissions made by the parties.Out of 8 witnesses examined by prosecution P.W.-1 Abu Talha, P.W.-2 Anwar Ahmad and P.W.-3 Nasim Anwar are witnesses of fact and occurrence but P.W.-1 Abu Talha and P.W.-2 Anwar Ahmad have turned hostile and they have not supported version of prosecution in their statements.He has stated in his statement on oath that after occurrence he came to his house and got written F.I.R.

Ext.Ka-10, photo nash Ext.Ka-13 and challan nash Ext.Learned counsel for accused appellants has contended that delay in dispatch of F.I.R. to Magistrate as well as special report also shows that F.I.R. was not in existence at the time alleged by prosecution.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in his statement on oath that after occurrence he came to his house and dictated First Information Report to his cousin brother Nausad, who wrote report Ext.Thereafter, he signed said report and went to police station with First Information Report Ext.P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey has stated in his statement on oath that on 10.5.1998 at 22.30 P.M. he registered Crime no. 295 of 1998 under Section 302,504,506 I.P.C. on the basis of written report of complainant and chik F.I.R. Ext.Ka-2 was written by him at the same time.He has further stated that at the same time he made entry of registration of crime in G.D.. He has proved said G.D. Ext.Ka.-3 also.Ka-3 which have been prepared by P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey in discharge of his official duty have been regularly prepared.P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla has stated in his statement on oath that inquest report Ext.Ka-12, report to C.M.S. Ext.Ka-11, report to R.I. Ext.Ka-10, photo nash Ext.Ka-13 and challan nash Ext.Ka-14 have been written by him.Ka-14, it shall not be presumed that F.I.R. was not in existence at the time of preparation of these papers.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in cross examination by defence on page 7 and 8 ( page 27 and 28 of paper book) that police of Chauki came on spot within 15 minutes after occurrence.He has stated that 3 or 4 Constables and Darogaji came and at the same time Darogaji prepared inquest report.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in his cross examination on page 11 (page 31 of paper book) that perhaps police took away dead body of his father in the same night at 11-11.30 P.M. He has further stated in continuation of his above statement that firstly dead body was carried to police station on cot, thereafter next day in the morning at 6-7 A.M. dead body was sent to Azamgarh.They reached Azamgarh at 8.00 A.M..P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla has stated in cross examination at page 5 (page 47 of paper book) that date 10.5.1998 and time 23.50 mentioned in inquest report is the date and time of his arrival on the place of occurrence.The inquest report was prepared by him on 11.5.1998 after 5.00 A.M..P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla has stated in cross examination at page 4 (page 46 of paper book) that the police chauki on which he was posted at the time of occurrence is situated at a distance of 250 Meters from the place of occurrence.He has stated that on place of occurrence he reached after two hours of occurrence.At the time of occurrence he was not present at the chauki.In Column-I of inquest report Ext.Ka-12 following entries have been made:-10.5.98 - 22.30 10.5.98 - 23.50 eksgYyk iqjk jkuh izkjEHk iapk;rukek 11.5.98 - 5.15 A.M.The above statement of P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla, who has prepared inquest report Ext.Ka-12 shows that on 10.5.1998, 23.50 P.M. mentioned in the inquest report is the time of his arrival at the place of occurrence.Thus, it is apparent from the statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar as well as P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla that police reached on spot in night, therefore, the statement made by P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar that police took away the dead body of his father to police station on cot at about 11-11.30 P.M. in the same night is truth and it shows that how police acts in dealing with even heinous crimes. ""10.5.1998, 23.50"" written in inquest report Ext.Ka-12 shows that the preparation of inquest report was started at 23.50 P.M. in night but was not completed at that time.It shows laxity on the part of S.I. Swami Nath Shukla and it shall not cause adverse effect on prosecution case.In view of above, we are of the view that non-mentioning of section 504 and 506 I.P.C. on inquest report Ext.Ka-12, report to C.M.S. Ext.Ka-11, report to R.I. Ext.Ka-10, phot nash Ext.Ka-13, challan nash Ext.Ka-14 and addition of section 504 and 506 subsequently on said Exhibits Ka-10, Ka-11, Ka-13 and Ka-14 is the result of casual slip or mistake as well as laxity of P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla and no adverse presumption should be drawn against prosecution on this ground.P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey has stated in his statement on oath that on 10.5.1998 at 23.30 P.M. he sent special report of this crime to superior officers through Constable Bilal.In his statement on oath he has proved special report Ext.Thus, it is apparent from statement of P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey that special report was sent to superior officers in compliance of Clause 101 of Police Regulation.Learned counsel for accused appellants contended before us that special report has not been produced and proved before court.Ka-4 is copy of G.D. relating to dispatch of special report.Perusal of Ext.Ka-4 shows that it is copy of G.D. relating to special report.Copy of special report is not on record.But perusal of statement of P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey shows that defence has not cross-examined him about ext.Ka-4 and has not drawn his attention to the fact that document produced by him as Ext.Ka-4 is not special report but G.D. of special report.Defence has not challenged the sending of special report or contents of special report in cross-examination of P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey.Thus, it is apparent that defence has not challenged sending of special report by police.In view of above, we are of view that contention of learned counsel for accused appellants is not acceptable regarding special report.P.W.-4 Head Moharrir Uday Pratap Pandey has stated in his cross examination made by defence on page 2(page 34 of paper book) that he sent the chik F.I.R. next day by dock.Thus, it is apparent that Section 157 Cr.P.C. has also been complied with.Perusal of inquest report Ext.Ka-12 shows that copy of chik F.I.R. Ext.Ka-2 had been annexed with it.Post mortem report of deceased Haji Abdul Gani Ext.Ka-5 as well as statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh, shows that post mortem of deceased Abdul Gani was conducted on 11.5.1998 at 3.45 P.M. by P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh.Post mortem report Ext.Ka-5 shows that seven enclosures were returned after post mortem.Defence has not cross examined P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh as to whether copy of chik F.I.R. was received to him alongwith inquest report or not.In view of discussions made above, we are of the view that the trial court has rightly held that there is no sufficient ground to believe that F.I.R. is anti time.Now we shall examine source of light.In F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 complainant Nasim Anwar has mentioned that he and witnesses named in F.I.R. saw accused appellants Jamil and Shakeel in the light of torch and electricity and identified them very well.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in his statement on oath that he saw the accused appellants in the light of torch and bulb and identified them very well.In site plan Ext.Ka-7, I.O. has not shown the place where bulb was lighting.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in cross examination at Page-7 (Page-27 of paper book) that only one bulb was lighting under railing of house of Abdul Salam.In site plan Ext.Ka-7 house of Abdul Salam has been shown by I.O. adjacent to place of occurrence, therefore, light of bulb fixed under the railing of house of Abdul Salam may easily reach to the place of occurrence.Defence has examined D.W.-1 Jagdamba Prasad Dubey, Junior Engineer of Electricity department who has proved log book Ext.Kha-1 and has stated that at the time of occurrence there was no electric supply in the locality of place of occurrence.Defence has not suggested in cross examination to P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar that there was no bulb in the house of Abdul Salam.Contrary to it, defence has tried to prove that there was no electric supply at the time of occurrence.In such circumstances, we are of the view that there is no ground to disbelieve the statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar regarding bulb at the house of Abdul Salam.I.O. has not shown bulb in site plan, merely on this ground statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar in this respect may not be disbelieved.It is relevant to mention that now-a-days bulbs are used to light with aid of Inverter and Battery as well as electricity produced by Generator during break down period of electricity..P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has mentioned in F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 as well as in his statement on oath that he had torch also.He has proved Memo of torch Ext.Ka-6 in his statement.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in his statement on oath that in the light of torch and bulb, he has identified accused appellants very well.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has produced his torch before trial court at the time of his statement.Having considered the statements of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar and P.W.-6 S.I. Omkar Singh as well as Memo of torch Ext.Ka-6 and torch material Ext.-1, we are of the view that source of light has been proved at the time of occurrence.In absence of electric supply, bulb may be lighted with Battery and Inverter or electricity product by generator and there is nothing on record to show that the house in which bulb is alleged to have lighting, had no Inverter or Battery or generator at the time of occurrence.Now we shall examine motive of occurrence.In F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 complainant Nasim Anwar has mentioned that about one week earlier to occurrence there had taken place a quarrel between Abdul Gani father of complainant and accused appellant Jamil regarding fish and tenant of ahata of complainant Nasim Anwar.Complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in his statement on oath also that before this occurrence there had taken place a quarrel between accused appellants and tenant of hata in which father of complainant forbade accused appellants to quarrel in his ahata.Because of this accused appellants felt annoyed with his father also.Cause/motive of occurrence alleged in F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 has been proved by P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar.P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in cross examination at Page-4(Page-24 of paper book) that in presence of him, there did never take place any quarrel between his father and accused appellants.This statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar shows that the quarrel between father of complainant and accused appellants alleged in F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 as well as in statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar did not take place in presence of complainant and complainant has only hearsay knowledge about said quarrel.In view of hearsay evidence of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar, the alleged quarrel between father of complainant and accused appellants cannot be said to have been proved in the eyes of law but in the case of Brahm Swaroop and another Vs.State of U.P. A.I.R. 2011 S.C. 280, Hon'ble Apex Court has held that,"" If the evidence of eyes witnesses is trustworthy and believed by the court, the question of motive becomes totally irrelevant.""In site plan Ext.Ka-7 I.O. has not shown place from where witnesses have seen the occurrence.On this ground learned counsel for accused appellants has contended that investigation is defective.In similar situation different persons show different behavior.In sad demise of dear and near some people weep, some people keep mum.Some people do not dare to see deceased.Therefore, considering variation of human conduct it is not necessary that every son shall fell down on his deceased or seriously injured father.In view of above, blood stains on clothes or body is not a criteria to judge presence of witness.Therefore, presence of P.W.-3 Nasim Anwar may not be denied on the ground that no blood stain was found on his clothes or body.According to F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 at the time of occurrence complainant Nasim Anwar and his father Haji Abdul Gani were going from their ahata to their house alongwith P.W.-1 Abu Talha and P.W.-2 Anwar Ahmad.The place of occurrence lies in between ahata and house of complainant.There is no reasonable ground to disbelieve that deceased and his son complainant Nasim Anwar were not going together.It appears natural that in night for taking meal, they shall go to their house from their hata.Therefore, presence of complainant Nasim Anwar alongwith his father deceased Abdul Gani at the time of occurrence may not be said to be unnatural and unreliable.As discussed above, time of occurrence is 9.30 P.M. and F.I.R. has been lodged in police station Mubarakpur at 22.30 P.M. on the same day within one hour of occurrence; and conclusion drawn above shows that there is no sufficient ground to presume F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 anti time.Thus, there is sufficient ground to believe that F.I.R. is prompt.Certainly promptness of F.I.R. adds reliability to prosecution version and removes chance of concoction.Ka-1 he has mentioned that accused Jamil fired at back of his father with close range.Statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh as well as post mortem report of deceased Abdul Gani Ext.Ka-5 shows that deceased Abdul Gani have two fire arm injuries.Ka-5 as well as statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh corroborates the fact that deceased Abdul Gani has been caused injury by fire arm from the back side and with close range.Ka-1 as well as statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh.Thus, we find that statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar is corroborated by medical evidence i.e. statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh and post mortem report Ext.P.W.-6 S.I. Omkar Singh has stated in his statement that he recovered a bullet from the place of occurrence and prepared Fard of it Ext.Memo of bullet Ext.Ka-9 also shows that a fired bullet has been found on the spot.Site plan Ext.Ka-7 shows that in the wall of hata of Haji Masood a whole of bullet was also found by Investigating Officer P.W.-6 S.I. Omkar Singh which has been shown by him in site plan with letter 'B'.Blood was also found on the place of occurrence by P.W.-6 S.I. Omkar Singh.He has taken blood stained earth and plain earth from the place of occurrence and has prepared Memo of blood stained earth and plain earth Ext.T",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ place of occurrence alleged in F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 as well as in statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar is fully corroborated by site plan and I.O. P.W.-6 S.I. Omkar Singh.Complainant Nasim Anwar is the son of deceased Abdul Gani, therefore, there is no reason also for false implication.Learned counsel for accused appellants drawn our attention to the fact that P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has stated in his statement that accused Shakeel and Jamil came from west side and ran away towards east but according to site plan Ext.Ka-7, the gali on which occurrence took place is south to north and there is no passage or gali leading to east or west.We have considered the submission of learned counsel for the appellant.Perusal of site plan shows that near place of occurrence there is open land in west of the passage through which complainant and his father was going ahata to their house.Site plan Ext.Ka-7 also shows that from the place of occurrence easily one may go towards east as there are space between houses.We have gone through entire statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar.His statement is fully in consonance with F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 and there is no contradiction in his statement.Learned counsel for accused appellants has drawn our attention to the statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar made in cross-examination by defence on Page-5 (Page 25 of Paper book) and contended that P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar has shifted place of occurrence by this statement.We have given our anxious thought to the submission of learned counsel for accused appellants.In aforesaid statement P.W.-3 Nasim Anwar has stated that this occurrence took place towards south from house of Ram Nath Koyri.Firing was done from south before reaching house of Ram Nath Koyri.At that time his father was towards south from house of Faizul Hasan.In site plan Ext.Ka-7 I.O. has shown house of Faizul Hasan and place of occurrence has been shown towards south from his house.There is no contradiction in statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar and site plan Ext.Ka-7 regarding place of occurrence.Statements of P.W.-7 S.I. Swami Nath Shukla, P.W.-8 S.I. Ramakant Pandey as well as recovery memo of katta and cartridges Ext.Ka-15 shows that on 17.5.1998 on the pointing out of accused Jamil one country made katta of 303 bore, one fired cartridge of 303 bore and three live cartridges of 303 bore were recovered on the pointing out of accused Jamil but bullet recovered from the place of occurrence has not been sent alongwith katta recovered on the pointing out of accused Jamil for ballistic expert opinion and in absence of ballistic expert opinion it cannot be said that the katta allegedly recovered on the pointing out of accused appellant Jamil was used in the murder of deceased Abdul Gani.But report of ballistic expert regarding bullet recovered from spot has only effect of corroborative evidence.Prosecution story as well as statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar may not be discarded merely on the ground of failure of I.O. to send bullet for ballistic examination.In the case of Brahm Swaroop and another Vs.Ka-5 and statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh as well as by site plan Ext.Ka-7 and statement of P.W.-6 S.I. Omkar Singh.Thereafter learned trial court proceeded further in accordance with law.Since accused appellant Jamil did not press aforesaid application 62-B and relinquished claim of juvenility, therefore no enquiry regarding juvenility of accused appellant was required by trial court.Learned trial court has recorded finding that accused appellant Jamil Ahmad was not juvenile at the time of occurrence.Accused appellant Jamil Ahmad has again moved application before this court claiming him to be juvenile on the date of occurrence alongwith affidavit.Copies of family register and birth register have been annexed with affidavit as proof of age of accused appellant Jamil.The copy of birth register shows that date of birth of accused appellant Jamil has been entered 17.6.1982 in birth register vide order dated 4.3.2010 passed by Up Ziladhikari.The copy of family register relates to the year 2010 and age of accused appellant Jamil has been shown in pursuance of birth certificate in which his date of birth has been written vide order dated 4.3.2010 passed by Up Ziladhikari.Therefore, this date of birth of accused appellant Jamil is not acceptable.At present accused appellant Jamil is above thirty years.Now it is difficult to ascertain his age at the time of occurrence on the basis of ossification test.In view of above, we are of the view that there is no material on record to show that accused appellant Jamil was juvenile at the time of occurrence.Accused appellant Jamil himself has not pressed his application regarding claim of juvenility before trial court, therefore, raising plea of juvenility again before this Court is barred by principle of res judicata as well as principle of stoppel also.In view of above, we are of the view that learned trial court has not committed error in passing impugned judgement and order.In view of conclusion drawn above, it is apparent that solitary evidence of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar is sufficient to convict accused appellant Jamil.According to F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 as well as statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar, accused appellants Jamil and Shakeel came together at the place of occurrence and each of them were armed with kattas.According to F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 as well as statement of P.W.-3 complainant Nasim Anwar, accused appellant Shakeel gave exhortation, whereupon accused appellant Jamil fired at the father of complainant.It is apparent from F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 as well as statement of P.W.-3 Nasim Anwar that when complainant and persons present with him tried to catch accused appellant Jamil Ahmad, accused Shakeel Ahmad pointed out katta at them and thereafter both accused appellants ran away together.Post mortem report Ext.Ka-5 as well as statement of P.W.-5 Dr. R.A. Singh shows that ante mortem injury found on the dead body of deceased Haji Abdul Gani was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course at once.After having gone through entire facts and circumstances of the case as well as whole evidence on record, we are of the view that the evidence on record is sufficient to hold accused appellant Jamil guilty for offences punishable under section 302 and 506(2) I.P.C. and to accused appellant Shakeel for offences punishable under section 302/34 and 506(2)Perusal of impugned judgement and order shows that learned trial court has gone through entire evidence on record as well as facts and circumstances of the case, learned trial court has considered all relevant points in its impugned judgement.The findings recorded by trial court is based on judicious analysis of evidence as well as law.In view of discussion made and conclusion drawn above, we are of the view that the trial court has rightly convicted accused appellant Jamil for offences punishable under section 302 and 506(2) I.P.C. and accused appellant Shakeel for offences punishable under section 302/34 and 506(2)Sentences awarded by trial court are not excessive and no appeal has been filed by State of U.P. for enhancement of sentence.Therefore, we are of the view that there is no sufficient ground for interference in the impugned judgement and order passed by learned trial court.In view of above, we are of the view that both appeals have no merit and are liable to be dismissed.Both appeals are dismissed accordingly.Accused appellant Shakeel Ahmad is on bail.He shall surrender before trial court within 30 days from the date of this judgement for serving sentence awarded to him," failing which trial court shall ensure his arrest and shall send him to jail for serving sentence.Accused appellant Jamil is in jail.Learned trial court shall prepare conviction warrant in accordance with law.Let a copy of this judgement be sent to trial court for securing compliance.Send back records of trial court immediately.Order Date :-24.09.2014 LJ/-""","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"2 Cri.The prosecution's story, in short, is that on 23.9.1994 at about 12 O'clock in the night the complainant Jamni Bai (PW-1) was sleeping in her house situated at Village Bandharwar (Police Station Badamalhara District Chhattarpur).While sleeping she heard a sound of firing, and therefore she woke up.She saw the appellants standing in front of her.They had already entered into the house of the complainant.The appellant Chhotelal gave a cartridge to the appellant Jivanlal and directed him to fire.On firing by the appellant Jivanlal, Darua (PW-3) husband of the complainant sustained some injuries.Thereafter the appellant Chhotelal loaded the gun and fired upon the complainant Jamni Bai due to which she sustained a gun shot injury in her right thigh.Thereafter one more fire was done by the appellant Jivanlal.Two persons were standing in front of the house.They shouted for the appellants to come back and thereafter the appellants ran away.The complainant Jamni Bai lodged an FIR Ex.P-1 at Police Station Badamalhara in the same night at about 4:35 AM.The injured persons were sent for their medico legal examination and treatment.Dr. P.K.Jain (PW-10) at the Primary Health Centre, Badamalhara examined the victim Jamni Bai and gave his report Ex.He found three injuries to the victim Jamni Bai over her right parietal 3 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 region, near the left eye and right thigh caused by pellets.Those injuries were found simple in nature.Similarly, he examined the victim Darua and gave his report Ex.So many wounds of pin type pellets were found at four places of his body.Such wounds were found on the left shoulder, back of the right shoulder, near the left ear and left side of the head.The katta and cartridge which were alleged to be seized were not sent to the Reserved Inspector for their examination.Jamni Bai (PW-1) and Darua (PW-3) have stated that some persons entered into their house.Initially Jamni Bai heard a sound of fire and she sustained no injury from first fire.Thereafter she woke up and saw the appellants.6 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 Both the appellants had firearms of 12 bore.One more person was present with the appellants having a katta with him.The appellant Chhotelal assaulted by firing from a katta on the head of the victim Jamni Bai.He also assaulted by firing from katta to the victim Darua causing him injury on his left scapular region.(Delivered on the 21st day of December, 2012) This criminal appeal is filed by the appellants being aggrieved by the judgment dated 10/9/1996 passed by the 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Chhattarpur in ST No.1/1995, whereby the appellants were convicted and sentenced as under:-He referred the victim Darua for his X-ray examination.In the X-ray, no bony injury was found.The police arrested the appellants and on interrogation the appellant Jivanlal gave an intimation about two cartridges and those two cartridges were recovered from his field.Similarly, the appellant Chhotelal gave an intimation about the handmade pistol and the handmade pistol of 12 bore was recovered from him.After due investigation, a charge sheet was filed before the JMFC Bijawar, who committed the case to the Sessions Court, Chhattarpur and ultimately it was transferred to the 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Chhattarpur.3 Cri.The appellants-accused abjured their guilt.They took a specific plea that they were falsely implicated in the matter due to enmity.In defence, Jhallu Raja (DW-1) and Balmukund Tiwari (DW-2) were examined.The learned Additional Sessions Judge after considering the evidence adduced by the parties convicted the appellants for commission of offence punishable under 4 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 Sections 458, 307 read with Section 34 of IPC and Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act and sentenced as mentioned above.4 Cri.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties.That property was sent to the FSL, but no FSL report was submitted in the trial, and therefore it was not proved that the appellants had any firearm with them or they used such firearm.The appellants could not be convicted for any offence including the offence under Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act. In the alternate, it is submitted that the appellants remained in the custody for more than three months and they have faced the trial and 5 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 appeal for last 17 years, and therefore they may not be sent to the jail again.5 Cri.On the other hand, the learned counsel for the State has submitted that the conviction as well as the sentence directed by the trial Court appears to be correct and there is no basis by which any interference may be done in the appeal.After considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and looking at the facts and circumstances of the case, it is to be considered as to whether the appeal of the appellants can be accepted? And whether the sentence directed by the trial Court against the appellants can be reduced?So far as the offence under Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act is concerned, the appellants could be convicted for the offence under Section 27 of the Arms Act, if it is established that they had firearm at the time of the incident and they used the same.Whereas the appellants could be convicted for the offence under Section 25 of the Arms Act, if they had firearm with them at the time of the incident or any firearm or ammunition was recovered from them.First of all the factual position relating to the incident may be considered.On shouting of the victims, some persons came to the spot, who saved the victims.The complainant Jamni Bai lodged an FIR Ex.P-1 at Police Station Badamalhara after 4 hours, whereas the police station was 12 kms away from the spot.The FIR lodged by the victim Jamni Bai was lodged with a delay of at least two hours.The victims were injured and after the incident they were taken to the Police Station.6 Cri.In the present case, the most important fact was that the victim Jamni Bai and her husband Darua identified the culprits in a dark night.It is established in the statements of the complainant Jamni Bai and her husband Darua that they had an enmity with the appellants.The enmity is a double edged weapon, that means due to enmity the appellants could assault the victims or due to that enmity the appellants could be falsely implicated by the victims, if the victims could not know about the actual culprits.In the present case a spot map Ex.P-2 was produced by the police, which was prepared by the Inspector M.K.Pathak (PW-9).In that spot map Inspector M.K. Pathak could not give any description relating to the 7 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 source of light.Also the complainant Jamni Bai and her husband Darua did not say anything about the source of light.Darua (PW-3) has admitted that Jhallu Raja was the first person, who came to his house and participated in taking the victims to the police station by a jeep.Jhallu Raja (DW-1) was not examined by the prosecution, but he was examined by the defence.He has stated that neither Jamni Bai nor Darua could identify the actual culprits and they were talking with each other that they could lodge the report against the enemies on the basis of suspicion.7 Cri.The appellants examined two defence witnesses Jhallu Raja (DW-1) because of the fact that a real story was told by the victims to Jhallu Raja (DW-1) soon after the incident and one Balmukund Tiwari (DW-2) was examined to prove the alibi of the appellant Jivanlal that at the time of incident, Jivanlal was working in a Panchayat held at Village Bandhawar.So far as the testimony of Balmukund Tiwari (DW-2) is concerned, it is strange that a meeting of the Panchayat took place at 2:00 AM in the night.No proceeding of such meeting was produced by the witness Balmukund Tiwari (DW-2) at the time of his statement, and therefore the testimony of Balmukund Tiwari cannot be relied upon.Therefore, the alibi relating to the appellant Jivanlal is not established.It is true that Jhallu Raja (DW-1) was the person, who took the victims to the police station, and therefore his testimony can be believed.But there is a 8 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 possibility that he was won over by the accused persons, and hence by his statement, the entire prosecution evidence cannot be thrown.But it is also possible that he was telling a truth before the trial Court.Under such a situation, the evidence given by the victim Jamni Bai (PW-1) and her husband Darua (PW-3) should be examined with great caution.8 Cri.In support of the evidence given by the victims Jamni Bai and her husband Darua, the FIR can be read as a corroborative piece of evidence which was lodged by the complainant Jamni Bai after 4 hours of the incident.Similarly, the testimony of the various doctors like Dr. Mahendra Khare (PW-2) and Dr. P.K.Jain (PW-10) may be considered.It is proved beyond doubt that both the victims sustained various injuries due to gun shot.Hence it is proved beyond doubt that someone assaulted the victims by firing from a gun, and therefore the offence under Sections 307, 458 of IPC was done by the culprits.But the entire testimony of the complainant and her husband is to be considered for the identification of the culprits.As discussed above, the complainant and her husband could not prove any source of light at the time of the incident.Evidently, they were sleeping in their house and nobody chased the culprits.No independent witness saw the actual culprit soon after the incident when they were running from the spot.Jhallu Raja and other witnesses 9 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 came very late so that they could not see the culprits on their own.The prosecution has examined Narayan (PW-5) son of the victims to say that he was an eye-witness in the case and he could identify the culprits.However, looking to his case diary statement, it would be apparent that he did not claim before the police that he could identify the culprits; therefore it appears that Narayan (PW-5) was sleeping at the time of incident and he could not see the culprits of the incident.No reason has been shown about the delay in recording the statement under Section 161 of Cr.P.C. of the victim Darua.Therefore, it appears that a false case is created against the appellants on the basis of suspicion.9 Cri.There is a lot of contradiction between the statements given by the victims Jamni Bai (PW-1) and Darua (PW-3) with the FIR Ex.P-1 lodged by the victim Jamni Bai.In the FIR the victim Jamni Bai has clearly stated that there was only one firearm amongst all the four culprits and initially it was fired by the appellant Jivanlal, then appellant Chhotelal provided a cartridge to the Jivanlal and again he fired.Thereafter appellant Chhotelal took that katta from the appellant Jivanlal and he fired from the katta.Looking at the entire story mentioned in the FIR, it is duly 10 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 established that there was only one katta amongst the culprits, and therefore the police seized only katta in the case.But the victims Jamni Bai and Darua have stated before the trial Court that the appellants Chhotelal and Jivanlal had separate firearms with them and one more person had a firearm.This is a material contradiction between the statements of the victims and the version mentioned in the FIR.There is a lot of contradiction between the statements given by the victims Jamni Bai and Darua about the various fires done by the appellants Jivanlal or Chhotelal.Jamni Bai (PW-1) states that first fire was done while they were sleeping and thereafter appellant Chhotelal fired from a gun causing injury on the left shoulder of the victim Jamni Bai, whereas Jivanlal fired from the gun causing an injury in her thigh.Again Chhotelal fired three times causing injury on her head, whereas Jivanlal fired upon her husband causing injury on the shoulder of her husband, whereas Darua has stated that he sustained injury on his left shoulder caused by Chhotelal by firing.This is a material contradiction between the evidence given by the complainant Jamni Bai and her husband Darua.Jamni Bai says that it was Jivanlal who fired upon the victim Darua whereas Darua says that it was Chhotelal who fired upon him on his left scapular region.Such type of contradiction can arise if the victims could not see the actual culprits.The victims could not tell about the source 11 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 of light, and therefore there was no possibility that they could see the actual culprits.If there was a source of light available, then the culprits could fire upon the victims on their vital parts and both the victims could sustain some injuries on the chest or on some vital part of the body.Looking at the injuries of the victims, it appears that there was no source of light, and therefore the culprits could not have aimed upon the vital part of the body of these two victims.Under such circumstances, the testimony of the witness Jhallu Raja can be accepted that the victims could not see the actual culprits, and therefore they decided to allege the entire incident against the appellants due to enmity.10 Cri.11 Cri.It is true that the evidence of witness Jhallu Raja cannot be accepted beyond doubt, as he has created a doubt that there was no source of light at the spot and the victim could not see the actual culprits.In this connection the statement of one Harcharan Yadav (PW-4) may also be considered, who was examined as a prosecution witness.He has stated in his examination-in-chief that he was also present when the victims were taken to the police station.They were injured and they were taken to the police station Badamalhara.He has also accepted that the victim Darua had told him that he had an enmity with the appellant Chhotelal, and therefore it would be proper to mention the name of Chhotelal and he had shown his suspicion against 12 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 the appellants to the witness Harcharan Yadav (PW-4).Though Harcharan Yadav was examined as a prosecution witness, but he was not declared hostile by the learned Public Prosecutor, and therefore being a prosecution witness, his testimony is binding on the prosecution.Under such circumstances, looking at the testimony of the witness Harcharan Yadav, it is proved beyond doubt that the victims Darua and Jamni Bai could not see the actual culprits and they named the appellants in the FIR on the basis of enmity.Looking at the statement of Harcharan Yadav, a strong doubt is created in the prosecution story and if a doubt is created, then benefit of doubt is to be given to the accused persons.It is not proved beyond doubt that the appellants were the persons who assaulted the victims by firing from various firearms or they entered into the house of the victims.Then the appellants could not be convicted for the offence under Sections 458 and 307 of IPC either directly or with the help of Section 34 of IPC.Similarly, the appellants could not be convicted for the offence under Section 27 of the Arms Act.12 Cri.They could not be convicted for the offence under Section 27 of the Arms Act for that period.Inspector Pathak (PW-9) has stated that on interrogation the 13 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 appellant Jivanlal told about the cartridge which was recovered from him and the appellant Chhotelal told about handmade pistol and it was recovered.Out of these witnesses, Ramsanjivan (PW-7) was examined and he turned hostile, whereas the witness Narayandas was not examined.Looking at the evidence of witness Ramsanjivan, it appears that he was not an independent witness of the locality.He was resident of village Bamni, which was 25 kms away from Village Bandha, and therefore it would be clear that the Inspector Shri Pathak took a patent witness in the case and still those witnesses turned hostile.Therefore, the testimony of the Inspector Pathak cannot be believed beyond doubt and it is not proved beyond doubt that any cartridge was seized from the appellant Jivanlal or any handmade pistol was seized from the appellant Chhotelal.13 Cri.It is very strange that neither the firearm nor the cartridge was not sent for its examination to the Reserved Inspector so that such articles could be examined by the competent Armer.No such report has been filed with the charge sheet.Such article was sent to the FSL but no FSL report is ever exhibited in the case, and therefore it is not proved beyond doubt that the seized property was either a firearm or ammunition.Under such circumstances, the 14 Cri.P-17 given by the then DM Shri Julaniya does not appear to be given according to the law.In the order Ex.P-17, the entire discussion and opinion relating to the sanction was already mentioned in a cyclostyle format.Name of the accused persons with the seized property were filled up in cyclostyle manner in the format prepared in general, and therefore it cannot be said that Shri Julariya exercised his judicial discretion in grant of prosecution sanction, and therefore it was not a valid prosecution sanction in the eye of law.In absence of valid prosecution sanction, the appellants could not be tried or convicted for the offence under Section 25 of the Arms Act.On the basis of the aforesaid discussion, it is apparent that the prosecution has failed to prove that the appellants were the culprits who assaulted the victims by firing from a gun or they had any firearm or ammunition.The appellants cannot be convicted for any offence though they were convicted by the trial Court.Hence the appeal filed by the appellants can be accepted.The 15 Cri.A. No.1579/1996 appellants are acquitted from all the charges appended against them by giving the benefit of doubt.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"When they had reached near the house of the appellant, the appellant who was sleeping outside his house woke up on the barking of a dog.Perhaps, he was irritated by this and consequently, snatched the vidnu (pointed instrument for tapping toddy) from Somla.Thereafter, he and the acquitted accused Pravin Dhodi caught Somla and the appellant pierced the vidnu on the left side of his stomach, as a consequence of which Somla fell down.Thereafter, the appellant and Pravin Dhodi ran away.JUDGMENT Vishnu Sahai, J.Through the appeal the appellant challenges the Judgment and order dated 7.9.1998 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Panaji camping at Daman, in Sessions Case No. 89 of 1987 convicting and sentencing him to undergo imprisonment for life for an offence under Section 302 of IPC.In short, the prosecution case runs as under:On 2.8.87, at about 1 p.m. the informant Bhula Bhagwan P.W. 1 Pemla Chagan and Magan Barsa were on their way to tap toddy.Immediately, behind the informant was Somla.The informant went to the house of Dhiru Sarpanch, P.W. 5 and informed him about the incident and when he returned to the place, of the incident thereafter, he found that Somla was dead.The F.I.R. of the incident was lodged by the informant Bhula Bhagwan P.W. 1 on 2.8.87 at about 2 p.m. at police station Daman.On its basis, PSI E.J. Rassrio P.W. 10 registered an offence under Section 302 of IPC.The autopay on the corpse of Somla was conducted on 3.8.87' between 1 and 1.15 p.m. by Dr. Jog Atmararn P.W. 6 who found that the deceased had sustained a penetrating clear cut wound 1.5 cm on left 6th inter costal space which was accompanied by a penetrating injury to the left lung and heart.In the opinion of Dr. Atmaram the said injury was sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death and could be caused by the vidnu which was shown to him during his deposition.The case was committed to the Court of Sessions in the usual manner.There the appellant and co-accused Pravin Dhodi were charged for an offence under Section 302 r/w 34 of IPC to which they pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.During the trial, the prosecution examined 12 witnesses.and Magan Barsa P.W. 3 were examined as eye witnesses.In defence, no witness was examined.The learned trial Judge believed the evidence vis-a-vis the appellant and convicted and sentenced him in the manner stated in para 1 but, acquitted the co-accused Pravin Dhodi whose acquittal has not being impugned by the State of Maharashtra.Although the appeal has been on the final hearing board since long, the learned counsel for the appellant Mr. Ramdas Sabban is absent.We feel that the evidence of two eye-witnesses who have been examined by the prosecution to prove the guilt of the appellant namely the informant Bhula Bhagwan P.W. 1 and Magan Barsa P.W. 3 inspires implicit confidence.The said witnesses have explained their presence on the place of the incident by alleging that on 2.8.87 at about 1 p.m. they had reached the house of the appellant along with the deceased Somla, while on way for tapping toddy.According to them, as a consequence of the barking of a dog, the appellant who was sleeping outside his house, woke up.Thereafter, he snatched the vidnu which Somla was carrying and caught him along with the acquitted co-accused Pravin Dhodi.Thereafter, the appellant inflicted a solitary vidnu blow on left side of the stomach (just below the ribs) of Somla.The said account furnished by these witnesses receives corroboration by the medical evidence.Dr. Atmaram P.W. 6 who performed the autopsy on the corpse of the deceased found that he had sustained a penetrating clear cut wound on the left 6th inter costal space which was accompanied by a penetrating injury to the left lung.In his opinion, the said injury could be caused by the vidnu shown to him.It is pertinent to point out that both these eye witnesses are independent witnesses having no axe to grind against the appellant.In our view, unless the appellant had fatally assaulted the deceased in the manner deposed to by them, they would not have falsely implicated him.Criminal Courts attach great significance to the prompt lodging of an F.I.R. because the same substantially eliminates chances of embellishment in the prosecution story, and that of false implication of the accused named thereunder.For the said reasons, we feel that the learned trial Judge acted correctly in finding the involvement of the appellant in the incident having been established beyond the place of doubt.This leaves us with the question of offence.Although the prosecution alleged motive against the appellant namely there was some enmity between him and the deceased Somla but that motive has not been accepted by the learned trial Judge for plausible reasons.It appears that the appellant who at the time of the incident was sleeping and was woken up by the barking of dog felt irritated and consequently snatched the vidnu which the deceased Somla was carrying and inflicted a solitary blow with the same on Somla's person.On these facts, bearing in mind that the appellant was initially unarmed, his act of inflicting a solitary vidnu injury on the person of Somla on the spur of moment would not fall within any of the four clauses of Section 300 of IPC the breach of which is punishable under Section 302 of IPC but instead would fall within that of the first part of Section 304 of IPC.In the result, this appeal is partly allowed.","['Section

JUSTICE P.S.TEJI P.S.TEJI, JAggrieved by the judgment of conviction dated 04.10.2001 thereby finding the appellant guilty for the offence under Section 307/506 of the Indian Penal Code (hereinafter referred to as 'IPC') and order on sentence of the same date, whereby he has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years with fine of Rs.2,000/-, and in default of fine, to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for two month, further the appellant was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years for the offence under Section 506 Part II of IPC the appellant has preferred the present Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 1 of 16 appeal.A. No. 770/2001 Page 1 of 16The other man with khukri stopped brother of the complainant.In the meantime crowd gathered there and the accused alongwith his associate ran away and while running, the accused left a threat that complainant survived on that day but would be killed on some other day.Thereafter, the injured was taken to GTB Hospital by Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 2 of 16 PCR van.MLC of the injured was collected and statement of injured was recorded whereupon the present case was registered against the accused.During investigation, the accused was arrested and made his disclosure statement.Statements of the witnesses were recorded and after completion of investigation, charge sheet for the offence under Section 307/506 of IPC was registered against the accused, to which he did not plead guilty and claimed trial.A. No. 770/2001 Page 2 of 16To prove the charges against the appellant, the prosecution examined 12 witnesses.They are; Dr. B.D. Singh, (PW-1); Head Constable Ashwani Kumar (PW-2); Head Constable Ombir (PW-3); Kumari Maheshwari (PW-4); Dulari (PW-5); Kalyan Singh (PW-6); Shishpal (PW-7); Constable Sevinder Kumar (PW-8), Sub-Inspector Amar Singh (PW-9); Radhey Shyam (PW-10); Sub-Inspector Yogesh Malhotra (PW-11) and Constable Mahinder Singh (PW-12).Upon considering the facts, evidence led and the material on record, the learned Additional Sessions Judge held the appellant guilty for offence punishable under Sections 307 of IPC by impugned judgment dated 04.10.2001, and vide order on sentence of the same date the appellant was sentenced as indicated above.Hence, the appellant has filed the instant appeal against the judgment and order on sentence passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge.Learned counsel for the appellant while arguing the case of the Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 3 of 16 appellant, contended that as per FIR the appellant Kamal climbed the trolly having phattas in it and inflicted knife injuries but subsequently in the court, the witnesses changed the total substratum of the case stating that Sheeshpal was caught hold of by one of the associates of the appellant and then the appellant inflicted injuries at his persons.It is further contended that Dulari (PW-5) stated before police that the appellant had passed sarcastic remarks against her and when the matter was reported to her brothers, they went to the place of the appellant and slapped him but in her statement before court, she had deposed that the students of the institution of the appellant passed certain remarks and the appellant was approached by Dulari and the appellant had not taken any action in the matter and in this way bother Dulari and Kumari Maheshwari had failed to established the incident of the day.With regard to the injuries suffered by the injured, it is contended that as per prosecution case, there was blood on the spot, clothes of Sheeshpal (PW-7) and on the wearing apparels of Kalyan Singh (PW-6) but the testimony has been opposed by the Complainant.Savender Kumar (PW-9) and Yogesh Malhotra (PW-11) Investigating Officer of the case, who had categorically deposed that there was no blood on the spot/either in the trolly or on the roof of the neighbours.Therefore, it is clear that the incident had not taken place at the alleged place and in fact Sheeshpal was stealing the phattas of someone and the incident had taken place and being unknown to the owner, he falsely implicated the appellant because of the morning incident.Attention is also drawn to the deposition of PW-7 where he deposed before Sub-Inspector Yogesh Malhotra that his blood stained Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 4 of 16 clothes with cut marks of the knife were lying at his residence but subsequently before the court, he deposed that the clothes had been stolen from the hospital.There is non-production of clothes with blood stain and cut marks, which clearly indicates that the clothes were destroyed and were not produced before the court.It is further urged that Sheeshpal (PW-7) disclosed in his statement that after the incident he had run to the house of a neighbour and the door was bolted by the neighbour and he had a fall on the roof but the prosecution neither examined nor produced the neighbour during the trial.Even the prosecution failed to show in the sketch, the trail of blood from the venue of incident i.e. trolly up to the house of the neighbour and even in the stair case or had seen any blood of the neighbours.So far as the injuries suffered by the injured are concerned, Dr. B.D.Singh (PW-1) had opined the nature of injury as being simple in nature and that too without mentioning the length, depth and breadth of the injury.Therefore, in such a situation the offence under Section 307 of IPC cannot be made out.It is further urged that Sheeshpal (PW-7) has belied his statement whereby he had stated that there were two stabbed injuries on the left side below stomach, but in the MLC, no such injury was found on his person.On these grounds, learned counsel for the appellant urged for setting aside of the impugned judgment and order on sentence.A. No. 770/2001 Page 3 of 16A. No. 770/2001 Page 4 of 16A. No. 770/2001 Page 5 of 16Per contra, argument advanced by learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State is that the accused/appellant was rightly held guilty under Section 307 of the IPC inasmuch as the complainant remained consistent on his statement regarding narration of the incident before the police as well as before the court and for convicting the accused for the offence under Section 307, the testimony of injured witness is sufficient.Therefore, the prosecution has successfully proven the offence of the appellant beyond all reasonable doubts and in such circumstances, the impugned judgment and order on sentence passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge do not call for any interference and the same are liable to be upheld.The nominal roll of the appellant has been called for which reflects that the appellant had remained behind bars only for 7 days.I have heard the submissions made on behalf of the State and gone through the petition, impugned judgment and order on sentence and the material available on record.This court finds that the learned Additional Sessions Judge had held the appellant guilty on account of the injured witness, eye-witness.However, the said clothes were stolen from the hospital.A. No. 770/2001 Page 6 of 16A. No. 770/2001 Page 7 of 16From the deposition of the injured witness, it is revealed that at the time of incident, his brother Kalyan Singh (PW-6) was also accompanying him.Let the extracts of his deposition before court be scrutinized to find out any corroboration with the deposition of the injured witness.In his cross-examination he deposed that due to the stab injury the blood was oozing out and his clothes were also blood stained.Police did not take into possession his blood stained clothes and his brother's blood stained clothes were missing from the hospital.A. No. 770/2001 Page 8 of 16The other crucial witness in such cases is the deposition of the doctor and his opinion to know the nature of injuries.Dr. B.D. Singh (PW-1) CMO, GTB Hospital, deposed before court that on 25.01.1997 he had conducted medical examination of the injured Shishpal who was brought in emergency by ASI Lachman Singh vide MLC No. B- 217/97 (Ex. PW-1/A).He deposed that at the time of examination of the injured, the following injuries were found on the person of injured:CLW half inch left axial.A. No. 770/2001 Page 9 of 16CLW one inch on left hip with active bleeding.CLW one inch on left ey with active bleeding.This court has further perused the MLC of the injured, in which the doctor had opined the injuries caused on the victim to be of simple in nature.Another relevant witness for the purpose of proving guilt of the accused is Yogesh Malhotra (PW-11), who was Investigating Officer of the case.He had deposed before the court that on the date of incident he had received information regarding quarrel and when he reached the spot, HC Ombir and Ct.Shivender were already present.The injured was already removed to GTB Hospital by PCR Van.He went to the hospital and collected the MLC of injured Shishpal and also recorded his statement.He also recorded the statement of injured's brother, Kalyan Singh in the hospital.In his cross-examination he had deposed that no person was present at the spot only 10-15 persons were present but he did not inspect the site before going to the hospital.He also did not see the khukri cover at the place of incident before going to the hospital.He had also not inspected the trolly before going to the hospital.He had also not seen any blood lying on the ground before going to the hospital.He further deposed that when he recorded the statement of injured in hospital, he had already changed his clothes.He further deposed that he had not mentioned the place where the empty cover of the khukri was lying in the site plan Ex. PW-11/B.Perusal of the impugned judgment passed by the learned Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 10 of 16 Additional Sessions Judge reveals that the appellant has been convicted for 307 read with section 506 of IPC on the basis of statement of injured and eye-witness.He further deposed that the appellant threatened him while leaving the spot that though he was saved on that day but he would not leave him.Not only this, Kalyan Singh (PW-6), the brother of the complainant/injured also corroborated the statement of the injured and has deposed that though he tried to save his brother but some other boy stopped him on the point of Khukhri and he himself had seen the appellant inflicting the stabbed injuries to the complainant/injured.A. No. 770/2001 Page 12 of 16A. No. 770/2001 Page 13 of 16 strong grounds for rejection of his evidence on the basis of major contradictions and discrepancies therein.""A. No. 770/2001 Page 13 of 16More so, the prosecution has not taken the blood stained clothes of the injured and could not send the same for FSL analysis.What is clear from the facts of the present case are that the injured had suffered injuries, appellant had caused injuries with some sharp object, which is not recovered by the prosecution and the injuries were opined by the doctor to be of simple in nature.Identity of the appellant is also established by the complainant as well as his brother Kalyan Singh (PW-6).This court also finds from the evidence and the material placed on record that the presence of the appellant at the spot on the date of incident; recovery of cover of khukhri at the place of incident; and identity of the appellant have been established by the prosecution beyond all reasonable doubts.Accordingly, in the light of the evidence produced on record, as discussed above, this court finds that the Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 14 of 16 impugned judgment dated 04.10.2001 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge thereby convicting and sentencing the appellant for the offence under Section 307/506 of IPC, needs to be modified to the extent that the appellant is held guilty for the offence under Section 324 of IPC.It is ordered accordingly.A. No. 770/2001 Page 14 of 16Now on the quantum of sentence, this court observes that the learned Additional Sessions Judge vide impugned order on sentence dated 04.10.2001 has awarded a sentence of 3 years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.2,000/- for the offence under Section 307 IPC; and rigorous imprisonment for two years for the offence under Section 506 of IPC.In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, considering the fact that the incident is of the year 1997 and the appellant has faced the agony of trial for the last more than 20 years, this court is of the considered opinion that the interest of justice would be met if the sentence imposed upon the appellant is reduced to the period of two years.It is ordered accordingly.Resultantly, the appeal filed by the appellant is partly allowed thereby converting the offence committed by the appellant from Section 307 IPC to Section 324 of IPC and modifying the sentence to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years.However, the amount of fine shall remain the same and in default of payment of fine, the appellant shall undergo simple imprisonment for two months.The appellant is directed to surrender before the trial court concerned within a period of 15 days to serve the remainder of Crl.A. No. 770/2001 Page 15 of 16 sentence of imprisonment.A. No. 770/2001 Page 15 of 16A copy of this order be sent to the Trial Court for information and necessary steps.With aforesaid directions, the present appeal is disposed of.(P.S.TEJI) JUDGE JULY 04, 2017 pkb Crl.A.

+"The facts relevant to the decision of this petition succinctly are that Zamir Ahmed, deceased husband of the petitioner, was a motor mechanic and was having his place of work near Inter-State Bus Terminal, Delhi.He used to repair shock absorbers and do other auto jobs in the repairs of motor vehicles etc. and he had kept his goods including shock absorbers, tools and implements in a box at the place of his work.He died on 7th March 1983 under mysterious circumstances as bodies of both Zamir Ahmed and his son Anis Ahmed aged about 19 years were found floating in river Yamuna.On 20th December, 1983, the petitioner lodged a report with the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sadar Circle, Delhi that the respondent, who is younger brother of her deceased husband, had stolen all the articles viz. shock absorbers, tools and implements etc. of her deceased husband by removing the box containing the same from the place of work of the deceased of his own house at 1074, First Floor, Kishanganj (Teliwara).As a result of the house search of the respondent, 170 big sized shock absorbers, 30 small sized shock absorbers, some tools and implements and the box containing the goods etc. were recovered and seized by the Police.The respondent moved an application dt. 26th September 1984 for return of the seized goods to him contending that he was rightful owner thereof and the same had no connection whatsoever with the alleged theft.He also pointed out that there was likelihood of the said goods being damaged in the event of the trial protracting over a long period and he would suffer irreparable loss on that account.The said request was opposed by the complainant-petitioner, who asserted that the goods in question belonged to her deceased husband Zamir Ahmed and had been stolen by the respondent from the place of his work taking advantage of her helplessness.The learned Magistrate vide order dt. 28th November, 1984 rejected the application of the respondent and directed that the articles be released to the complainant - Smt. Anisa Begum on her furnishing Super digamma in the sum of Rs. 5,000/-.Feeling aggrieved the respondent went in revision in the Court of Session.It was heard by an Additional Sessions Judge who vide impugned order dt. 8th February, 1985 set aside the aforesaid order of the Metropolitan Magistrate and directed that the seized articles be returned to the respondent - Masoom Ali.Hence, this revision petition by the complainant - petitioner against the aforesaid order of the Additional Sessions Judge.The controversy between the parties lies in a narrow compass, the crucial question for determination being whether the custody of the seized articles be entrusted to the complainant-petitioner or the accused-respondent pending conclusion of the trial.Revision allowed.","['Section 397 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 173 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

mentioned that onNovember 16, 1991, at about 9:00 am, Ajodhaya Yadav, armed with a lathi,and other four appellants armed with bhala, were ploughing a fieldbelonging to the informant while Kashinath Yadav exhorted others to killthe informant Ramji Yadav.Hiralal Yadav caused a bleeding injury on thehead of the informant with a bhala.The informant in order to save hislife shouted on which his uncle Ramayan Yadav (deceased), his fatherDharichhan Yadav (PW-1) and his brother Bir Bahadur Yadav (PW-3), came inorder to save him.Hiralal Yadav then caused a bhala injury on the chestand abdomen of the deceased who fell down and became unconscious.PW-1also fell down as he was assaulted with bhala by Kashinath Yadav and KamtaYadav causing injuries on his abdomen, back of the body and hand.PW-3 wasalso assaulted by Ajodhaya Yadav with lathi and also by Bhim Yadav withbhala on head causing bleeding injury.On the shouts raised by theinformant and his party, Dudhnath Yadav (PW-2) and Jagdish Yadav came andsaved them.Other persons from the village also came and thereafter theaccused persons stopped assaulting and fled away.The reason for theoccurrence was said to be a dispute over the land and litigation in thepast which had resulted in filing of a court case also.The Investigating Officer inspected theplace of occurrence; prepared Inquest Report (Exhibit – 3); sent the bodyfor postmortem examination and obtained postmortem report; recorded thestatement of witnesses, including further statement of the informant; andsubmitted charge-sheet for the offence under Section 302 and otherprovisions of the IPC.After taking cognizance, the Magistrate committedthe case to the Court of Sessions where charges were framed for variousoffences, including Section 302 IPC.The appellants pleaded 'Not Guilty'to the charges.After the trial, accused persons were found guilty by thetrial court for offence under Section 302 IPC and were awarded imprisonmentfor life.The judgments of the Courts below reflect that the prosecution, in order toprove its case, examined nine witnesses.PW-1, Dharichhan Yadav, is thefather of the informant.He also sustained injuries and claimed to be aneye witness to the occurrence, as mentioned in the FIR itself.He hasfully supported the prosecution case.PW-2, Dudhnath Yadav, is the brotherof PW-1, who came on the shouts raised, and has claimed to have seen theoccurrence.PW-3, Bir Bahadur Yadav, is the son of the deceased RamayanYadav.Like PW-1, he is also an injured eye witness to the incident.Hehas fully supported the prosecution case.Sonia Devi (PW-4) and MunesariDevi (PW-5) are mother and wife respectively of the informant.PW-4 hasclaimed to have gone to the place of occurrence on hearing the shouts andalso claimed to have seen the occurrence, whereas PW-5 stated that she wason the roof of her house and from there she saw the entire occurrence asthe place of incident was close to her house.Ramji Yadav (PW-6) is theinformant, who also suffered injuries and as claimed by him in thefardbayan as well as in his deposition in the Court, he saw the entireoccurrence from beginning till end.Dr. Rajesh Kumar Singh (PW-7) held theautopsy on the dead body of the deceased.According to him, the postmortemexamination was held on November 17, 1991 at 8:00 am.He found thefollowing eight injuries on the dead body of the deceased:“(i) Incised wound with clean cut edges 1” x 2/10”x whole thickness of thepina of right ear.(ii) Incised wound 1½” x ½” x 2/10” on the upper portion of the right arm.(iii) Incised wound 1” x 2/10” x 2/10” on the back of the scalp left side.(iv) Incised wound 1/10” x 1/10” x 1/10” on the front of right shoulder.(v) Incised wound 1” x 1/2”x abdominal cavity deep on the right side ofabdomen upper portion.(vi) Swelling 2” x 2” on the left side of back of scalp.(vii) Penetrating wound with cut edges 1” x ½x chest cavity deep on theright side of chest.2½” away from midline almost in the middle.(viii) Incised wound ¾” x 1/10”x skin deep on the middle finger of righthand.” In his opinion, all the injuries were ante mortem caused by sharpcutting pointed instruments and the time elapsed since death was within 36hours of postmortem examination.He found the cause of death to be injuryNo.(vii), a penetrating wound 1” x ½” chest cavity deep on the right sideof chest.He has further opined that the injuries could be caused bybhala.However, injury No. (vi) could be caused by lathi also.Thestomach of the deceased contained undigested food material and the bladderwas empty.The injuries were simple.Some of the injurieson PW-1 and PW-3 were by sharp weapons like bhala, but in case of PW-6, thedoctor opined that the injuries were by hard and blunt substance likelathi.The age of injuries in respect of all the three injured was foundto be within six hours.The injury reports of the three injured wereproved by PW-8 as Exhibits – 2, 2/1 and 2/2 respectively.The investigation was done by Surajdeo Ram (PW-9), Investigating Officer,as pointed out earlier.During inspection, he found the place ofoccurrence to be a field belongiong to the informant in which potato crophad already been planted.He found that potato crop marks of three roundsof ploughing were visible.He also seized blood stained earth from theplace of occurrence.He has stated in his cross-examination that report ofthe occurrence was first received by him from Chowkidar and on that basis aStation Diary Entry was made but he did not record the statement ofChowkidar.He has admitted that he has written the Case Diary in asystematic manner, as the events unfolded, and the fardbayan is mentionedin paragraph 1 of the Case Diary.He has also stated that after thefardbayan, further statement of the informant was recorded and the place ofoccurrence was inspected and only thereafter formal FIR was instituted.According to his statement in the cross-examination, in respect of theearlier statements made by PWs 1, 2 and 3 under Section 161 of the Code ofCriminal Procedure, 1973, there was virtually no difference in what theyhad stated regarding the occurrence in Court.As far as PW-4 is concerned,she has deposed that she had not told him in clear terms, in her earlierstatement, as to which of the accused persons were having bhala and who wasploughing and that Hiralal had assaulted on head with bhala and thedeceased had received injury on head with bhala.She had also not statedon what part her husband (PW-1) had received injuries by bhala and that theaccused persons fled away on arrival of Jagdish and Dudhnath Yadav.Various contentions were raised before the High Court with an endeavour tofind loopholes in the judgment of the trial court regarding conviction ofthe appellants.It was argued that the time of offence had not been provedby the prosecution beyond reasonable doubt because the Doctor had opined,while conducting the postmortem examination on November 17, 1991 at 8:00am, that the death of the deceased appeared within 36 hours, whereasaccording to the prosecution case, death had taken place within 23 hours.It was also argued that the nature of injuries found on the deceased andinjured persons did not support the prosecution case.Another submissionwas that though the Investigating Officer (PW-9) had admitted in his cross-examination that information of the occurrence was first given by aChowkidar, which was incorporated in his Station Diary Entry as well, FIRwas not registered on the basis of said information and that Chowkidar wasnot even produced as a prosecution witness.All the aforesaid arguments have been rejected by the High Court as withoutany substance.It is not necessary to reproduce the discussion of the HighCourt on these arguments as before us the learned counsel pressed only lastof the aforesaid arguments, in addition to couple of other submissions.In the first instance, the learned counsel drew our attention to the FIRand referred to the following column regarding the place of incident:It was submitted that when the place of incident was 300 sq. yds.away, it was impossible for the witnesses to see the occurrence clearly andidentify the accused persons.fromthe Police Station in West direction.It is nowhere stated that those whowere eye witnesses to the incident had seen the occurrence from a distanceof 300 sq. yds.","['Section

+"Shortly stated, the prosecution story is as under:-- The accused Natarajan is a resident of South Karasery where he was living with his family.About six months prior to 4-3-1995, his mother-in-law Gomathiammal was residing with the accused.Adjacent to the house of the accused in the village, is the house of PW-1 Madathiammal, who was running a petty shop in the said house and her mother Shanmughavadivu and her daughter Mariammal also were residing in the said house.It is the prosecution's case that the accused had strained relationship with his mother-in-law as his mother-in-law used to nag the accused.There often used to be quarrels between the accused and his mother-in-law as the mother-in-law used to insist the accused for working and earning something for the family.It is the prosecution case that on 4-3-1995 at about 6 O' Clock in the evening, when she was standing in the front side of the house in her petty shop, when her mother Shanmughavadivu and her daughter Mariammal were standing in the courtyard of the back side of the house, she saw the accused chasing his mother-in-law, who was running.The accused was armed with a sickle.Gomathiammal jumped over the mud-wall in between the house of PW-1 Madathiammal and the accused and fell on her face near the courtyard of the house of the witneSections At that time, the accused dealt with sickle blows on his mother-in-law on her back.Seeing this, Shanmughavadivu shouted as to why he was assaulting the mother-in-law.The accused is said to have then assaulted Shanmughavadivu and dealt with sickle blows on her shoulder, below her chest and on her chest.Seeing this, PW-2 Mariammal also shouted as to why the accused was cutting her grand-mother.The accused thereafter came running and dealt with sickle, blows on Mariammal also on her left shoulder, neck, right shoulder and nape.Seeing this, when PW-1 Madathiammal asked the accused as to why he was assaulting her daughter, the accused dealt with sickle blows on Madathiammal on her neck, right shoulder and left forearm.Thereafter, the accused ran away with the sickle.The two ladies viz., Gomathi Ammal and Shanmughavadivu died on the spot.A car was hired by one Lakshmiammal and Arumughathammal and the two injured witnesses viz., Madathiammal and Mariammal were taken to Palayamkottai High Ground Hospital for treatment.On receiving information, the Sub-Inspector of Police attached to Seithunganallur Police Station came there and recorded a statement of Madathiammal, in which she narrated the whole story.This statement is treated by the prosecution as the First Information Report.The investigation was started on the basis of this First Information Report by the Police.It seems that the Investigating Officer Chinnaiah, who was then on duty as Inspector of Police, Law and Order, in the Central Police Station, Tuticorin, had received this information.He, therefore, came to Seithunganallur Police Station at 11.45 p.m. and after receiving the copy of the First Information Report, which was recorded by PW-14 Thiru, Kandasamy, first went to the Hospital and after interrogating the two injured witnessees and recording their statements, he then proceeded to the spot of occurrence in the same night.The inquest was conducted over the dead bodies of Gomathiammal and Shanmughavadivu.The bodies were then sent for autopsy to the Government Hospital, Srivaikuntam through Constable Sivakumar.The Investigating Offices then recorded the statements of other witnesses.The accused was arrested on 6-3-1995 at about 8.30 a.m. near Kalvoi Road.He was arrested in the presence of Chlthiraj and Ganesan.On his being asked, he agreed to discover the sickle used in committing the crime.The accused then took the Investigating Officer and discovered the sickle which was kept hidden at the western side wall of the terraced roof of Muppidathi Amman koil which is situated on the western side of Karunkulam-Moolakaraipatti road.JUDGMENT V.S. Sirpurkar, J.Referred Trial No. 1 of 1999 is a reference by the Principal Sessions Judge, Tuticorin, for confirmation under Section 366 of Criminal Procedure Code of the death sentence passed against the accused Natarajan.He has been awarded the sentence of death as the Sessions Judge, Tuticorin has found him guilty of the offences under Section 302 of Indian Penal Code on two counts as also under Section 307, I.P.C. on two counts.Criminal Appeal No. 427 of 1999 has been filed by the accused against the finding of the conviction.The accused was then remanded to the judicial custody.The Investigating Officer later on seized the blood-stained clothes of the eye-witnesses PW-1 and PW-2 and sent all the materials to the Court.He gave a requisition to the Court for sending M.O. 1 to M.O. 18 and 21 to 24 for chemical examination.On completion of investigation, a charge-sheet came to be filed against the accused.Charge was framed against the accused firstly, for an offence under Section 302, I.P.C. for having committed the murder of Gomathiammal and on second count, again for an offence under Section 302, I.P.C. for having committed the murder of Shanmughavadivu, so also under Section 307, I.P.C. on two counts for having attempted to commit murder of Madathiammal and Mariammal.The accused abjured guilt.Prosecution mainly relied on the evidence of the eye-witnesses, PW-1 Madathiammal, PW-2 Mariammal and PW-3 Sappanimuthu, out of whom PW-3 Sappanimuthu turned hostile, while the other two supported the prosecution PW-4 Lakshmi Ammal is a person, who took the injured in a Car to the Hospital.PW-5 Pechimuthu and PW-6 Chithiraj are the Panchayatdar witnesses on mahazar as well as on the discovery statements.PW-6 Chithiraj has turned hostile.PW-7 Jayakumar and PW-8 Ramasamy are the Doctors.Dr. Jayakumar conducted the postmortem examination on the body of Shanmughavadivu and found four injuries on her person which was ante-mortem injuries, while the body of Gomathiammal had as many as eight incised injuries.The Doctor described the injuries to be sufficient in the ordinary course of time to cause death and also pin-pointed the said injuries.Dr. Ramasamy has proved the Injury Certificates, which he had issued after he had treated PW-1 Madathiammal and PW-2 Mariammal.He found as many as three incised injuries on the person of Madathiammal PW-1 out of which he described Injury No. 1 to be the grievous injury as per X-Ray photographs.He also found four incised injuries on the person of Mariammal and he issued the Injury Certificate where wound Nos. 2 and 3 were grievous in nature as per the X-Ray.Prosecution also relied on the evidence of Dr. Duraipandian, PW-9 who examined the X-Ray photographs to prove the fractures on the persons of Mariammal and Madathiammal.PW-12 Mr. Mayandi, who was formerly Head Clerk in the Judicial Magistrate Court, Srivaikuntam, sent Exm. M. 1 to M. 18 and 21 to 24 for chemical analysis along with Ex. P-20, which was a requisition letter.Ex. P-21 is the report of the Chemical Analyst, while Ex. P-22 is the Serologist's report, PW-14 Kandasamy proved the First Information Report, while PW-15 Chinnayya deposed about the Investigation.The defence of the accused was extremely faulty.It was tried to be suggested that there was some altercation among the Villagers and there was an incident of stone throwing because of which, the two ladies were injured and lost their lives and the two other ladies were injured.The accused went on, however, to accept the guilt at the stage of examination of the accused under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code.The learned Sessions Judge accepted the evidence of the eye-witnesses.He held that their presence at the spot to be absolutely natural.He also held that there was absolutely no reason for the two witnesses PW-1 Madathiammal and PW-2 Mariammal to depose falsely.He also accepted the medical evidence and the other incriminating evidence like the bloodstained articles and convicted the accused treating this to be the rarest of rare case.He has also chosen to award death sentence against the accused.On this factual backdrop, it has to be seen as to whether firstly, the accused can be held guilty for the offences charged with and secondly, whether this is a case where the death sentence awarded to the accused can be confirmed under Section 366 of the Criminal Procedure Code.There can be no dispute in this case that the death of Gomathiammal and Shanmughavadivu was homicidal.The presence of fatal injuries on the persons of both and the evidence of Dr. Jayakumar (PW-7) would be sufficient to hold that the two ladies, who did not have any injuries prior to the incident, died due to homicidal violence because of the injuries.The death of the two ladies, therefore, can be safely inferred to be homicidal death.The evidence in this case is both ocular and circumstantial in nature.In so far as the evidence of PW-1 Madathiammal and PW-2 Mariammal are concerned, both the witnesses have specifically stated about the active role played by the accused in bringing about the death of the two unfortunate ladies as also in assaulting themselves.The presence of both the witnesses was most natural at the spot as the incident had taken place in the courtyard of their house itself.There is absolutely no cross-examination to any of the witnesses more particularly to these two eye-witnesses as also the Investigating Officer regarding the topography of the scene.Considering the fact that the incident took place at 6 O' Clock in the evening would also go to show that their presence in the house would be natural.Both these witnesses have given a graphic description of the incident.According to both the witnesses, there used to be quarrels between the accused Natarajan and his mother-in-law, who had come to live with the accused since about six months prior to the incident.PW-1 Madathiammal then goes to describe the whole incident to the effect that the accused was quarrelling with his mother-in-law and then the mother-in-law was chased by the accused.At that time, the mother-in-law tried to jump over the small mud-wall, but tripped over the fire-wood and fell down on her face, when accused Natarajan started dealing blows with the sickle on her back.When we see the injuries on the person of Gomathiammal, there is enough corroboration to this version as the injuries on the person of Gomathiammal are mainly on the back side ""f her body.Barring these three injuries, all the other five injuries are on the back side of the body.The other injuries are on the left shoulder, left side neck and left forearm.This gives a corroboration to the version of Madathiammal PW-1 as also Mariammal PW-2, PW-2 had also stated that the deceased Gomathiammal fell on her face and the accused dealt with the sickle blows on her back.In fact, there is practically no discrepancy in the evidence of the two eyewitnesses.They have also given a clear account of the assault on the mother of PW-1 Shanmughavadivu and thereafter, the assault firstly on Mariammal (PW-2) and secondly on Madathiammal (PW-1).Both the witnesses have suffered the injuries which have been amply proved by PW-8 Dr. Ramasamy, Considering the depth and nature of all the injuries, which were incised wounds, they were possible by use of sickle.The medical opinion expressed about the same.There can be no doubt that the two eye-witnesses were not only present on the spot, but they had seen the whole incident and their evidence is corroborated by each other as also by the injuries suffered by them.The cross-examination of these two witnesses is absolutely purposeleSections In fact, some portion of the cross-examination is irrelevant and we wonder as to why the learned Sessions Judge allowed such irrelevant questions to be put.It was tried to be established by the defence that one Pechimuthu had come along with the injured persons to the Hospital and the witness PW-1 has accepted this.It is also suggested that the said Pechimuthu, Lakshmi Ammal and Arumughathammal were with the injured persons in the Hospital till 6.00 p.m. in the evening on the next day.One fails to understand any relevancy of this cross-examination.It is tried to be suggested to PW-1 Madathiammal that she and the brother of the accused were competitors in the busineSections Some irrelevant questions regarding the witness and her mother were put to PW-1 which have absolutely no bearing on the present prosecution.A wild suggestion was thrown at her that her brother used to bring illicit liquor and sell the same in the village.Another wild suggestion was thrown at the witness that there was a riot in which the shop and the bench were broken and in that, stones and sticks were thrown and it is because of that, the witness PW-1 and her daughter were injured.In short, nothing could be elucidated from PW-1 in the cross-examination and her evidence remained unshaken.She has graphically supported the version of her mother.In cross-examination also, there is nothing worth the name.The learned Counsel pointed out that while PW-1 stated that she was taken to the Hospital in a Car, this witness had admitted that she went to the Hospital in the Police Jeep.The same theory of riot was suggested by even this witness which was denied by the witness (PW-1).In short, the evidence of this witness also remained totally unshaken.The third witness, who sought to be examined as the eye-witness, is.PW-3 Sappanimuthu.He has turned hostile and, therefore, his evidence cannot be considered.Thus, the evidence of the two eyewitnesses have remained unshaken and their evidence can be safely accepted.As if the evidence of the eye-witnesses is insufficient, there is also the other corroborating evidence which has already been referred to above.The fact that both the witness have also stated that the accused was shouting at her mother-in-law and saying that only if she was finished, there will be tranquillity in his house has also not been demolished.In the cross-examination, which would amply go to prove the intention on the part of the accused and his complicity in the evidence.It was tried to be suggested that PW-1 could not have been seen the occurrence when she was standing in the shop.However, even that cannot be accepted for the simple reason that according to PW-1, she was standing in front of her shop.Again it is not established by cross-examination of any witness that a person who is standing in the shop cannot see the incident in the back courtyard of the house.Some advantage was tried to be taken by the learned Counsel by suggesting that there were some contradictions.However, the said contradictions have not even been proved in the evidence and they are extremely insignificant.The contradiction in the evidence of PW-1 and PW-2 about the vehicle in which they went to the hospital is also, to say the least, insignificant, because that pertains what happened after the incident.It cannot be again forgotten that in this case, while the incident has taken place at 6 O'Clock in the evening, the First Information Report has been made almost immediately.PW-1, after being injured, was taken to the Hospital and it was there that she gave her statement.Therefore, there is no question of any belated First Information Report.In the First Information Report also, she has given a complete description of the incident.Her evidence is, therefore, corroborated by the First Information Report.The most important factor to be appreciated in respect of the evidence of these two witnesses is that they are the injured witnesses and that they suffered the injuries at the hands of the accused in broad day light.Last but not the least that these two witnesses had no reason whatsoever to speak against the accused.The defence has not been able to establish any enmity between the accused and the witnesses.Though faintly it was suggested that there was business rivalry between the brother of the accused and PW- 1 Madathiammal, it is really not necessary for the witnesses to speak falsely regarding their injuries at the hands of the accused as also the injuries of the mother-in-law and the injuries of Shanmughavadivu.In short, the evidence of PW-1 and PW-2 alone is sufficient to fix the guilt on the accused for offences punishable under Section 302 of I.P.C.the said two ladies have suffered extensive wounds.Both the ladies have suffered grievous wounds as per the evidence of Dr. Ramasamy (PW-8).In his evidence, the Doctor Ramasamy has deposed that the injuries were grievous.They were also placed on the vital parts of the body.There would be, therefore, no question of any other intention in the mind of the accused except to cause the death of the two witnesses.It seems, it is only their providence which saved the two witnesses apart from the fact that they have got immediate medical help.The placement of injuries, the manner in which the injuries were dealt with, the nature of the weapon, would amply go to suggest that the accused had intended the death of the two witnesses also.Under such circumstances, the conviction of the accused for offences under Section 307, I.P.C. would also be suggesting.In short, nothing could be said as against the conviction of the offence under Section 302, I.P.C. on two counts and under Section 307, I.P.C. on two counts.The learned Sessions Judge has not bothered to probe into the whole case, the psychology of the accused in the attending circumstances and the other mitigating circumstances while branding this case as the rarest of rare case.The treatment given to this subject is extremely sketchy.The learned Counsel for the appellant brought to our notice that this cannot be said to be a rarest of rare case even if there have been two murders and attempt to murder the two witnesses who were eyer witnesses.It seems from the evidence of these two witnesses that there used to be often quarrels between the mother-in-law who, probably, was an unwanted guest for more than six months in the house of the accused.It is in the evidence of PW-1 that there used to be often quarrels between the mother-in-law and the accused, as the mother-in-law created a hindrance in getting food.Both the witnesses have specifically referred to the prior quarrel between the accused and the deceased Gomathiammal on that day.It has not come on record as to whether the accused refused to go for work on his own.A possibility of not being able to get the work could also not be ruled out.If the accused, who was already burdened with his mother-in-law, found that in his own house, he was being insulted and food being refused to him at the instance of the mother-in-law, it is obvious that the rebukes given by his mother-in-law added insult to injury.He had ample opportunity to finish off his mother-in-law, who was the resident in the same house.When he was on bail, he attacked the family members of the victim in the earlier case.He was armed with axe and his brother was armed with dagger.There should have been more consideration shown to this aspect in his judgment.The sentence passed for the offences under Section 307, I.P.C. on two counts and other directions regarding the same would remain undisturbed.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal

+"P.D.DINAKARAN,J.I  Prologue Seldom, criminal trials bring before us persons, who are accused of acts of quivering barbarity.One such act is the offence of rape, which was more in tune with tribal society, and is in existence even now and calls for stringent punishment.This case is even more dreadful as the offence of rape was committed by the accused on his own sister-in-law, and the situation became much more worse, as the sister-in-law of the accused as well as her tiny tot, a thirteen months old girl baby were charred.II  ChargeIII  The case of the prosecutionThe prosecution case, as unfolded from the evidence, runs thus:3.1.

On 18.9.2003, he sent the material objects to the Court for subjecting the same to chemical analysis.On 16.10.2003, he examined post-mortem doctors and recorded their statements.He also examined P.W.1, Thangavel, brother of P.W.1 and P.W.3 and recorded their statements.The evidence of P.Ws.1 and 3 is in one voice qua the conduct of the accused towards the deceased to quench the thirst of lust is concerned.In fact, the deceased herself had shared her worries about the ill-behaviour of the accused towards her to P.W.3, during her last visit to the residence of P.W.3, and also requested P.W.3 not to inform to her brother, viz. husband of P.W.3, fearing future consequences.To quench the thirst of lust, the accused had chosen the time when the deceased was alone at the residence, left the school as spoken to by P.W.8, viz., the accused was absent from the School from 12.45 pm to 2.45/3 pm.Apart from proving his absence in the School, the prosecution has also substantiated the presence of the accused in the place of occurrence through the evidence of P.W.4, Councillor of Yercaud Town Panchayat who saw the accused in his house between 1 and 1.15 pm.The next question that arises is whether the prosecution has proved or not the links between the next chain of circumstances, viz. fisting the child on her face and on her becoming unconscious, laying her near the deceased and thereafter, murdering them and threatening P.W.2 with dire consequences and making her to speak to P.W.1 impersonating the deceased in order to make the death of the deceased and her child as a suicide, to substantiate the offence under Section 302, IPC beyond all reasonable doubts?According to P.W.2, the accused asked her some kerosene to clean the machine.Since P.W.2 was having lunch, she has given 10 litres capacity can containing around 6/7 litres of kerosene to the accused.As soon as P.W.2 entered the house, she found the deceased and her child were lying unconscious in the kitchen.When she enquired the accused, he stated that when he embraced the deceased, she did not accept and therefore, he hit on her head with poori kattai, M.O.11 and when she fell unconscious, he quenched the thirst of lust by committing the offence under Section 376, IPC and since he wanted to simulate the occurrence as if the deceased committed suicide, he fisted the child, who was playing, on her face and laid her near her mother.Thereafter, P.W.2, made call to P.W.1 impersonating the deceased, being threatened by the accused that he would do away with her in the same manner like the deceased if she tells to anybody about the occurrence, and later left the scene of occurrence.Around 4 pm, when she came to know that the deceased and her child were burnt, she went to the house of the deceased and witnessed the burnt bodies of the deceased and her child in the kitchen.Further, P.W.24, Doctor, who conducted post mortem had deposed that the back side of the body, crown of the head and the soles were not burnt and therefore, there is no possibility of committing suicide.What is left to be decided is whether the prosecution has proved the link between the chain of circumstances with regard to the screening of the offence by pouring kerosene on the deceased and her child.The accused, in his extra judicial confession made to P.W.2, had stated that he had committed the offence under Section 376, IPC and to make it as a suicide, he asked P.W.2 to give kerosene and thereafter, he poured the kerosene on the unconscious deceased and her child and set them on fire and screened the offence under Section 376, IPC.The above statement would make it clear that the accused had the intention to screen the offence under Section 376, IPC.That apart, as per Ex.P46, post mortem certificate, the symptoms for the commission of offence under Section 376, IPC could not be traced due to the extensive second degree burns over the front on all the parts of the body of the deceased.P57 is the video cassette and Ex.While proceeding with the investigation, on 18.08.2003, after getting the opinion of the Doctor by preparing medico legal questionnaire and recording the statements of witnesses, he altered the provisions of offence as the ones under Sections 302 and 376 IPC.and sent the altered report Ex.P-60 to the Judicial Magistrate.On 19.08.2003, he handed over the investigation to PW-31 the Superintendent of Police, Salem, and was assisting him in further investigating the matter.On 23.08.2003 at 7 A.M., PW-30 arrested the parents of the accused.xxviii) PW-31 is the Chief Investigating Officer/Superintendent of Police, who after taking over the investigation from PW-30, proceeded further.On 19.08.2003, he went to the scene of occurrence and recorded the statement of PW-2 and that of other witnesses.The absconding accused was produced before him by the Inspector of Police on 20.08.2003 at 1.30 P.M. He sent him to the Hospital for obtaining medical opinion.After complying with the legal formalities, he recorded the statement of the accused.He produced the accused with a report before the D.R.O., Salem, to record his statement in writing and through video.The Station House Officers, amongst various other assignments, also entrusted with the job of investigation of crimes.Unless an officer is hand and foot assigned for conducting investigation of a case in a full-fledged manner and pursuing the same in a court of law, it would be impossible to occlude the resultant failures in the administration of criminal justice, leading to wrong acquittals.In such circumstances, suggestion is made to the Government to establish a separate ""Crime Investigation Wing"" exclusively for investigation, prosecution and to take necessary follow-up action, as found in the developed countries in order to attain the avowed objectives of the criminal justice and administration system.Registry is directed to communicate copy of this Judgement to the Secretary to Government, Government of Tamil Nadu, and the Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu.The Chief Secretary to Govt., Govt. of Tamil Nadu, Fort St. George, Chennai.The above-said ghastly incident was said to have taken place on 15.8.2003 within the jurisdiction of Yercaud Police Station.This horrifying issue, stimulated the Superintendent of Police, Salem District, P.W.31 to undertake investigation by himself and to register an FIR in Crime No.350 of 2003, initially for an offence punishable under Section 304-B, IPC, which was subsequently altered, pursuant to which the appellant was tried and thereafter, convicted and sentenced to undergo (i) seven years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.5,000/-, in default, on year rigorous imprisonment for having committed the offence of rape on the deceased mother under Section 376, IPC; (ii) life imprisonment with fine of Rs.10,000/-, in default, one year rigorous imprisonment for having murdered the deceased mother and 13 months old girl baby under Section 302 (2 counts) IPC; (iii) two years imprisonment with fine of Rs.1,000/-, in default, one month rigorous imprisonment for having poured kerosene on the mother and 13 months old baby and set them on fire in order to screen the offence under Section 302 read with 201 (2 counts), IPC; and (iv) seven years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.2,000/- in default, one year rigorous imprisonment for having caused criminal intimidation to P.W.2 under Section 506(2), IPC.As per requisition Ex.P23 made by P.W.31, P.W.20, Dr.He saw the burnt bodies of the deceased and her child, surrounded by lot of people.Around 8 pm, P.W.1 gave a written complaint, Ex.P1 and registered the FIR, Ex.P50, in Crime No.350 of 2003 for the offence under Sections 304-B and 498-A, IPC.F.I.R. was sent to the Revenue Divisional Officer, P.W.17, as well as to the Deputy Superintendent of Police, P.W.30, for further action, since the occurrence took place within two years from the date of marriage of the deceased.As per Ex.P51, requisition made by P.W.31, P.W.28, District Revenue Officer, examined the accused and recorded Ex.P52 confession statement in video through P.W.29 Police Videographer.P57 is the video cassette.The Videographer, who was examined as P.W.29, deposed that on instructions from P.W.31, he took video at the time of enquiry and took photo of the accused, before recording the video.P55 is the photo of the accused.Print of Ex.He also examined P.W.7 Shanmugam in respect of the electrical goods sold to the accused and seized the credit bill and recorded his statement.After completing the investigation, he filed a charge sheet against the accused under Sections 506(i), 376 and 302 read with 201 (2 counts) IPC and also filed a separate charge sheet against Thiruselvam, accused, Krishnan @ Venkatachalam and Selvam under Section 498(A)The case was committed to the Court of Sessions and charges were framed and since the accused denied his complicity in the offence, the case was taken up for trial.On completion of the examination of the prosecution witnesses, the accused was questioned under Section 313, Cr.P.C. on the incriminating materials for which the accused denied any complicity in the offence committed and claimed innocence.On the side of defence, D.Ws.1 to 4 were examined and Exs.D1 to D11 were filed.3.35. D.W.2, sister of the accused, deposed that the deceased called her on 13.3.2008 and stated that when she went to her brother's house for asking Rs.10,000/-, her brother and her sister-in-law refused to give money and sent her out of their house forcibly.She further stated that at about 9 am on the date of occurrence, the deceased called her over phone and stated that she does not like to live due to the distress caused by the scolding of her brother and sister-in-law.3.35. D.W.3, Manger of Indian Bank, Mechery Branch, deposed that the accused came to the bank on 20.8.2003, the accused came to the Bank between 10 am to 2pm and redeemed the jewels pledged in the Bank.3.36. D.W.4, who was working as the Sub Divisional Engineer (Legal), BSNL, deposed that no outgoing STD call was made from telephone No.222032 in August, 2003, as per the magnetic tape maintained by the Exchange for registering all the STD outgoing.The Court examined one Francis as C.W.1, who deposed that on hearing noise from the house of the deceased, he saw the smoke emanating from the house of the deceased.He went to the house of the deceased and saw the window glass broken due to the heat and since some people were standing in front of the house, he climbed up the roof of the house and removed the tiles in order to enter into the house and saw the bodies of the deceased and her child in the hall.The learned I Additional Sessions Judge, Salem, upon appreciation of the evidence and hearing both sides, convicted and sentenced the accused as aforementioned.Hence, the above appeal.V  Contentions of the appellantMr.K.V.Sreedharan, learned counsel for the appellant, challenges the order of conviction and sentence as follows:(b) The case of the prosecution rests upon the complaint Ex.In the said complaint, P.W.1 had not uttered anything about the conduct of the accused towards the deceased.(d) Further, P.Ws.4 to 8, who spoke about the movement of the accused on the date of occurrence, are not reliable witnesses, as they were examined after a period of 10/15 days.(e) The carbon particles found deposited more in the kitchen, than in the hall, would prove that the deceased had committed suicide along with her child, as it is supported with the fact that the tiles in the kitchen alone were removed and also by the evidence of P.W.1 who had stated that the deceased called him and stated that she would commit suicide if he did not reach her place within one hour with money.Therefore, there is a possibility that the people who entered the house, after gaining the entry, would have removed the body to the hall, and accordingly, the deceased had committed suicide only and the offence under Section 302, IPC is not made out.(f) From the statement of D.W.2, sister of the accused, that two days prior to the date of occurrence, the deceased called her over phone and informed that her brother refused to give money and scolded her and on the morning of the date of occurrence, she informed that she was very much dejected and she did not want to live, it can be clearly elucidated that the deceased had only committed suicide.(g) Alternatively, since the death of the deceased and her child was due to burn injuries and the accused has no motive to commit the murder of the deceased and her child, it can be assumed that the accused wanted only to screen the offence.Therefore, the offence under Section 302, IPC is not made out.(h) Finally, the offence under Sections 376, 302 (2 counts) and 302 read with 201, IPC has not been proved with medical evidence and beyond any reasonable doubt and therefore, conviction and sentence have to be set aside.Therefore, the same would not make her evidence unreliable, as she is the only witness who saw the deceased and her child in the kitchen before they were burnt and in the hall after they were burnt.P1 itself.Further, since he received a call at about 2.00 pm on the date of occurrence from P.W.2, who impersonated as the deceased, P.W.1 had the suspicion that she would have committed suicide due to dowry harassment.After coming to know about the conduct of the accused, P.W.1 stated the same to P.W.31, Superintendent of Police.Therefore, the evidence of P.W.1 cannot be stated as untrustworthy.(c) P.W.3 was of the opinion that the death of the deceased and her child was due to dowry harassment and she had no doubt that it was homicide.On seeing the article in the newspaper that the death was homicide, she recalled about the statement made by the deceased with regard to the conduct of the accused 15 days prior to the date of the occurrence.The same, however, would not render the evidence of P.W.3 undependable on the ground that it was given after two months.(d) P.Ws.4 to 8 speak about the movement of the accused just prior to the occurrence and immediately after the occurrence and at the place of the occurrence.The delay in obtaining their evidence was due to the fact that the case was initially registered for the offence under Section 304-B and 498-A, IPC and only later, it was registered for the offence under Sections 376, 302, 302 read with 201, IPC.Moreover, they are not eye witnesses to the occurrence.Further, the Investigation Officer was not cross examined with respect to the delay in examining those witnesses.Therefore, the delay in examining P.Ws.4 to 8 would not make their evidence unbelievable.(e) As per the evidence of C.W.1, who removed the tiles of the house of the deceased, the bodies of the deceased and her child were found in the hall only.This is strengthened with the statement of P.W.2, who witnessed the bodies in the kitchen before they were burnt and in the hall, after they were burnt.Even though the carbon particles were found deposited in the kitchen, the same would not change the nature of offence, because, P.W.16, Scientific Officer and P.W.24, Doctor, who conducted autopsy, were of the opinion that it was not suicide since the hair in the crown and back of the head, back side of the body and soles were not burnt.(f) If the statement of D.W.2 is true that the deceased informed her that she was very much depressed on the morning of 15.8.2003, viz. date of occurrence and therefore, she did not want to live, naturally D.W.2 should have informed the same to her brother and parents.Failure to do the same would make it clear that D.W.2 would have also joined along with her brother in demanding money and therefore, the contention that the deceased had committed suicide has to be rejected.(g) P.W.2 had deposed about the extra judicial confession made by the accused that he had an eye over the accused and since the deceased refused to heed his wish, he hit the deceased on her head and when the deceased fell unconscious, the accused committed the offence under Section 376, IPC.P.W.2 also witnessed the deceased and her child lying in the kitchen before being burnt and in the hall after they were burnt.This would prove the motive of the accused and clearly establishes the offence under Section 302, IPC.We have also perused the entire materials on record.Before proceeding further, it is apt to refer the law laid down and the tests to be adopted for placing reliance on the extra judicial confession and the circumstantial evidence.The prosecution mainly depends on the extra judicial confession of the accused made to by P.W.2, neighbour and P.W.28, District Revenue Officer.While P.Ws.1 to 3 speak about the motive, P.Ws.4 and 5 speak about the movement of the accused near the scene of occurrence and P.Ws.6 to 8 speak about the absence of the a",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ at the relevant time.The chain and the links, which constitute the circumstances to bring home the guilt of the accused, M.O.11 and when the deceased fell unconscious, he committed the offence under Section 376, IPC;(iv) he fisted the child on her face and on her becoming unconscious, laid her near the deceased;(v) he threatened P.W.2 with dire consequences and made her to speak to P.W.1, impersonating the deceased, in order to make the death of the deceased and her child as a suicide;(viii) his leaving the scene of occurrence by opening the gate of his house, around 2/2.10 pm, was witnessed by P.W.5 and his brother;(ix) at about 2.10 pm, after purchasing electrical goods, he had stated to P.W.6 that he had committed a small mistake and would tell the same later and thereafter, went to Sister Convent;P.W.2 spoke to P.W.1, as tutored by the accused, that she had been tortured for money and asked him to come within one hour, or otherwise she would commit suicide.Since the accused threatened her, fearing danger to her life, P.W.2 would not have informed P.W.17 on the earlier day.Further, in his evidence, P.W.1 had stated that the deceased called him and asked him to come with money within one hour, otherwise, she would commit suicide.Immediately, P.W.1 called his brother's residence and spoke to his sister-in-law, P.W.3 about the telecon by the deceased and asked her to visit the place of the deceased and to inform him.P.W.3 also, in her evidence, stated that P.W.1 called her and stated about the telecon of the deceased.In the extra judicial confession made by the accused to P.W.2, he had stated that when he embraced the deceased, she did not accept and therefore, he hit on her head with poori kattai, M.O.11 and when she fell unconscious, he quenched his thirst by committing the offence under Section 376, IPC.The above statement is corroborated by the wound certificate Ex.P25 certifying that there was a simple injury and opining that it might be due to a finger nail scratch.The possibility that finger nail mark on the left clavicular region would have been caused on the accused by the deceased only when the deceased tried to resist the accused from committing the offence under Section 376, IPC cannot be ruled out.Substantiating the evidence of P.Ws.8 and 4, P.W.5, building contractor, deposed that he saw the accused opening the gate and coming out of his house around 2/2.10 pm.Thereafter, the accused was found at the shop of P.W.7, who deposed that the accused came along with P.W.6 to purchase electrical goods, which is strengthened with the copy of the bill, Ex.P.W.6 deposed that the accused, after purchasing electrical goods from the shop of P.W.7, stated that he committed a small mistake.If the accused left the School at 12.45 pm only to purchase electrical goods, he would have straight away gone to the shop of P.W.7 and returned to the School, immediately after his purchase and in which event, P.Ws.4 and 5 would not have seen the accused at the place of occurrence at about 1/1.15 pm and 2/2.10 pm respectively, nor P.W.6 would have taken him to the shop of P.W.7, to whom the accused had stated that he committed a small mistake.The prosecution has, therefore, rightly proved the links between the chain of circumstances that the accused had ill intention towards the deceased and chosen the convenient time for the commission of offence under Section 376, IPC and accordingly, left the School at 12.45 pm, went to the residence and since the deceased did not heed to his desire, he hit on her head with poori kattai, M.O.11 and when she fell unconscious, he committed the offence, left the house by opening the gate, which was seen by P.W.5 and went to the shop of P.W.7 along with P.W.6 and thereafter, returned to the School.From the above, it can be elucidated that the accused had poured kerosene on the deceased and her child, who were unconscious and set them on fire.Accordingly, the accused had committed the offence under Section 302, IPC.12.3. P.W.2 is the only witness who saw the deceased and her child lying in the kitchen, when she was called by the accused and thereafter, found the burnt bodies of the deceased and her child in the hall.The said portion of her evidence derives strength from the evidence of C.W.1 who deposed that he removed the tiles of the house of the deceased and thereafter, when he entered the house after the public gained entry, he saw the bodies of the deceased and her child in the hall only.Therefore, the contention that the deceased had only committed suicide and thereafter, the people who entered inside the house would have brought the bodies to the hall, cannot be sustained, as the stove, gas cylinder and other things in the kitchen were found intact.Moreover, the doors of the house were found to be unlocked.Thus, after committing the offence under Section 376, IPC the accused would have brought the deceased and her child to the hall and would have poured kerosene and set them on fire.Hence, the contention that the carbon particles were found deposited more in the kitchen than in the hall also cannot be accepted, because, the house of the deceased was very small and therefore, there is possibility for the deposit of carbon particles in the kitchen.However, the deposit of carbon particles in the kitchen would not change the nature of offence.That apart, as per the statement of P.W.6, at about 2.10 pm on the date of occurrence, the accused, who came to his shop, asked him to drop him at Electrical shop to purchase electrical goods and after purchasing some goods, the accused asked him to drop him at Sister Convent.While going, since the accused asked him to drive fast, he enquired as to the urgency, and at that time, the accused told him that he committed a small mistake and he would tell the same later and he got down at Sister Convent.The above statement supports the evidence of P.W.2 to conclude that the accused has committed the offence under Section 302, IPC.As per Ex.P46, Post Mortem Certificate, extensive second degree burns were found over the front on all the parts except over the back of the head, middle of the back, most of the buttocks and both soles.Assuming the deceased had committed suicide, naturally she would have poured kerosene on her head which would have spread on all over her body and on setting fire, all parts of the body would have got burnt.But, as per the post mortem certificate, back of the head, middle of the back, most of the buttocks and both soles were not burnt.Further, after setting fire on her and on her child, she would have moved here and there and raised alarm, but would not have laid down as if she wanted to sleep.Moreover, if the deceased had committed suicide, after pouring kerosene, she would have thrown the can containing kerosene in the house itself, but not outside the house.This would establish that the deceased had not committed suicide and she was done to death.Even though an argument was raised on behalf of the appellant that as per the evidence of D.W.2, the deceased would have only committed suicide, we are unable to appreciate the same, since D.W.2, who is the sister of the accused, on being informed by the deceased about her frustration to live due to the scolding of her brother and refusal to give money, is normally expected to inform the same to her brother, husband of the deceased and tried to convince her.But, the action of D.W.2 in not informing the same to her brother creates a doubt as to the veracity of her evidence.Therefore, the same is liable to be rejected.We have already rendered our finding as to the trustworthiness of the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 3 and as to the discharge of burden by the prosecution to prove the links between the chain of circumstances.We are, therefore, of the considered opinion, that at the time of occurrence, the accused had the knowledge that he had committed the main offence and caused disappearance of evidence with regard to the main offence, and had the intention to screen the offence, by burning the body of the deceased and her child and consequently, the ingredients with respect to the screening of offence had been satisfied.Accordingly, the offence under Section 302 read with 201, IPC has also been made out.Thus, the prosecution has satisfactorily discharged their onus of proving the link between the chain of circumstances to bring home the guilt of the accused qua the screening of offence is concerned.VIII  FindingIn view of the above discussion, our appraisal and analysis of the evidence on record, we have no hesitation to hold that the prosecution has successfully established all the circumstances appearing in the evidence against the accused by clear, cogent and reliable evidence and the chain of the established circumstances cumulatively lead to the only irresistible conclusion that the accused alone is the perpetrator of the crime.IX  EncomiumX - UPSHOT This appeal is dismissed confirming the conviction and sentence imposed by the learned I Additional Sessions Judge, Salem.kplNote to Registry:The deceased was made unconscious by him with a severe blow on her head with a dough-roller (poorikattai) so that he could deflower her without any fray or resistance.The little drops of humanness which conjointly make humanity a cherished desire of mankind had seemingly dried up, when he gave a deadly punch on the tender face of his niece, a baby of just 13 months old, to make her inert so as to comfortably burn her along with her mother, who was already made unconscious by his brutal acts.Insolently, he invited a neighbour PW-2, showed her as to what he has committed, intimidated and threatened her not to divulge his acts and by squeezing her neck,

return back the kerosene Can, she went there and at the kitchen room found both the deceased lying inert on the floor.By threatening PW-2 that she would also be finished off if she does not act on his words, the accused asked her to talk over phone to the brother of D1 posing herself as D1 and state that unless they bring money within an hour, herself and D2 would not be seen alive.Accordingly,

CW-1 is the court witness and he is residing adjacent to the house of the accused.According to him, while having lunch, he heard noise and on coming out, he found smoke emanating from the house of the accused and few persons standing there and further, he climbed up and went to the roof top and removed four or five tiles and by that time, persons standing outside the house entered and found both the deceased dead with burn injuries.5-C. The trial court, after exhaustive consideration of the oral and documentary evidence adduced by both sides and of the arguments advanced on either side, found the appellant/accused guilty of all the charges and passed the order of conviction and sentence as aforementioned.The said order is under challenge in this Criminal Appeal.Learned counsel for the appellant elaborately argued the matter, raising several grounds, in his endeavour to assail the order passed by the trial court.At the foremost, he submits that the emphatic case of the defence is that D1, who was very upset and felt dejected as she was abandoned by her brothers and not helped by them while her family was in adversity, took the extreme decision of self-immolating herself along with her child.He further clarified that such burn injuries would be possible if the deceased were burnt after being laid in a state of unconsciousness.He has specifically stated that he could not find carbon stains on the oesophagus.According to him, if it is a case of self-immolation, definitely, the deceased would have run here and there and the burn injuries would be quite different from the ones noticed by him.He further suggested that she would have been burnt after made to lie on floor unconscious.He also withstood the rigour of cross-examination and emphatically stated that it is a case of murder.It would not be possible for a person who has sustained deadly head injury, as could be seen from the medical evidence, to self-immolate herself and her child.Now, the incriminating circumstances available against the accused may be dealt with.All of them are independent witnesses and of course, PW-6 seems to be a person known well to the accused and was friendly towards him.PW-4 has stated that he met the accused on the occurrence day at his residence between 1 and 1.15 p.m. for the purpose of laying a pipe line, and the accused refused therefor stating that he has some domestic works to do.PW-5 has stated that on the same day at about 2 or 2.10 p.m., while proceeding along with his brother, he saw the accused coming out from his residence.PW-6, who seems to be a friend of the accused, was approached by the accused at 2.10 P.M. with a request to drop him at the electrical shop, whereupon, he took him in his motor-cycle.He has specifically stated that while travelling in the motor-cycle, the accused asked him to drive fast and therefore, he asked him as to what happened, for which, the accused answered that he had done a mistake.According to PW-6, he could understand the meaning of what was said by the accused as 'mistake' only after seeing the newspapers.He has stated that at about 2.30 pm.the accused came and purchased electrical goods from the shop and at that time, he was seen disturbed.PW-8 is the Supervisor at the school where the accused and his brother were working on the occurrence day.His emphatic evidence is that the accused left the working place for purchase of electrical goods by 12.45 p.m. and returned back at 3 P.M. The time gap at which each of the witnesses saw the accused at various places and the sequence arising therefrom, is quite natural and fortifies the case of prosecution that it was the accused, who alone was present at the scene house while D-1 and D-2 were alone there, and indulged in the heinous crime.As pointed out earlier, PW-2, in her statement made before the Magistrate under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and while deposing before court, consistently stated that the accused had been waiting for a right opportunity to have sex with her sister-in-law and on the occurrence, he used the loneliness prevalent in the residence to satiate his vicious desire.Further, incriminating materials were seized at his instance.In fact, the altered F.I.R reached the court on the same day without any delay.Similarly, referring to the evidence of DW-3, it is argued that inasmuch as the accused was present in the Bank on 20.08.2003 for redeeming the jewel pledged, the prosecution version that he was arrested on the same day is unbelievable.The obscure evidence of DW-3 that the accused came to the Bank between 10 A.M. and 2 P.M. seems to be strange and does not infuse confidence.On the face of the same, if one looks at the evidence of the Investigating Officer that the accused was arrested on that day at 1.30 P.M., it would be clear that the prosecution version in that regard is quite acceptable.From the foregoing discussion, the incriminating circumstances and materials made available by the prosecution to connect the appellant with the crime can be categorised as follows:-The motive assumes great significance inasmuch as its existence is an enlightening factor in a process of presumptive reasoning.(iv) The accused procured kerosene from PW-2 and utilised the same for torching the bodies.(v) He subdued and silenced PW-2 under threat and, with her help, created a make-believe story that it was a case of suicide.(vi) It is the brother of D-1/PW-1, who set the law in motion by preferring a written complaint with the police and the allegation was that the husband of D-1 along with his family members demanded dowry and ill-treated her, due to which, she committed suicide.Scientific investigation should substitute the conventional ones.Arduous efforts should be made to improve the system in order to increase the certainty of conviction and punishment for the most serious offenders and repeaters.The Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu.I Additional Sessions Judge," Salem.""","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 164 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Shukla and Vishesh Rastogi of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd., who owns a very prime piece of land of more than 200 acres at G.T. Road, Amritsar, Punjab.Page 1 of 14The complainant initially refused any dealing with them.Mr. Vijay Taneja and the director of M/s SVS Infra Build Pvt. Ltd. proposed to become partner with the complainant in purchasing the land.On persuasion, the petitioner/complainant along with Mr. Harish Kumar came to Delhi.The prospective accused persons namely Vijay Taneja, Mr. Sachin Bidhuri, Mr. Vinod Chopra and Mr. Sharad Taneja took them to the office of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. at Barakhamba Road, New Delhi.The complainant was sent outside for taking lunch.When the complainant along with Mr. Harish Kumar came back, accused perons namely Vijay, Sharad, Sachin and Vinod took Mr. K.N. Shukla and Mr. Vishesh Rastogi in a separate room where they had some personal meeting.The accused persons told the complainant and Harish Kumar that they have finalised the deal and decided to purchase 160 acres of land at the rate of Rs.1.20 crores per acre.The complainant objected by saying that they should have been consulted before finalisation of the deal.Vijay Taneja, Sachin Bidhuri, Sharad Taneja and Vinod Chopra Page 2 of 14 told the complainant that they were partners in purchase of the said land and the complainant has to believe them.On their representation Mr. Harish Kumar, partner of the complainant paid Rs.25 lakhs through cheque No.065835 dated 16.6.2011 drawn on Central Bank of India in favour of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. and Rs.20.00 lakhs in cash.Similarly the complainant also paid Rs.25.00 lakhs by way of cheque No.057822 dated 16.6.2011 drawn on Union Bank of India in favour of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. and Rs.20.00 lakhs in cash.All the prospective accused persons directed the complainant to pay Rs.2.00 crores within two days in addition to Rs.1 crore which was to be paid by Mr.Vijay Taneja as his share.Page 2 of 14Mr. Vijay, Sharad, Sachin and Vinod in furtherance of their conspiracy, in presence of the complainant issued cheque No.019801 dated 17.6.2011 amounting to Rs. 1 crore (Rupees one crore) and told the complainant that this cheque was in lieu of the said cheque and has been issued in lieu of one-third share of the total amount of Rs.3.00 crores (Rupees three crores).The complainant paid amount on different dates as per receipts issued by Mr.Vishesh Rustogi, authorised signatory of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. The cheque bearing No.057822 dated 16.6.2011 for Rs.25.00 lakhs issued by complainant was not encashed on account of difference in signatures and in lieu thereof the complainant/petitioner transferred the said amount by way of RTGS in favour of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. Later on, the complainant came to know that the cheque for Rs.1.00 crore which was issued by SVS Infra Build Pvt. Ltd. was never produced for Page 3 of 14 encashment by accused No.1 company.The complainant also alleged that all the accused persons assured the complainant that after receipt of the total amount of Rs.3.00 crores (Rupees three crores), they will execute an agreement to sell and GPA in favour of the complainant and thereafter, further amount shall be paid after 30 days of the signing of the agreement.After 24.6.2011 the complainant asked the proposed accused Vijay, Vinod, Sachin, Sharad to get the agreement executed in his favour and they assured that the agreement would be executed very soon.In the first week of November, 2011 the complainant came to know through Mr. Ramesh Arora, Gurjit Aujla and Rajeev Kumar, who are partners/directors of M/s New Hope Developers that they have already executed an agreement to sell dated 28.6.2011 with M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. in favour of their company M/s New Hope Developers.The directors warned the complainant that they have agreement with accused No.1 company and if the complainant would take any action against the directors and authorised signatories of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. or partners of M/s SVS Infra Build Pvt. Ltd., the complainant has to face serious consequences.Learned Metropolitan Magistrate, New Delhi called the status report.The petitioner placed on record a `settlement agreement' dated 29.5.2012 to show that M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. obtained approximately Rs.1,23,52,07,364/- from M/s Experion Developers Pvt. Ltd. (earlier known as M/s. Gold Developers Pvt. Ltd.) against development consideration of 206.37 acres of land, out of which the petitioner was induced to purchase 160 acres.Vide order dated 11.7.2013, after considering the ATR, Learned Metropolitan Magistrate directed to change the Investigating Officer under the close supervision of SHO concerned.Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner was again forced to settle the matter with the accused persons.The petitioner made various representations with the senior officials but to no avail.Page 13 of 14By this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as `Cr.P.C.') the petitioner seeks quashing of final report dated 15.2.2012 submitted by the investigating agency in case FIR No.20/2012 under Section 420/120B IPC registered at P.S. Baramkhamba Road, New Delhi.In nutshell the facts of the case are that the petitioner lodged a complaint under Section 200 of Cr.P.C. seeking directions to the police for registration of FIR.The Metropolitan Magistrate directed the SHO, P.S. Barakhamba Road to file Action Taken Report.On 15.2.2012 FIR under Section 420 read with Section 120B IPC was registered.The complainant has also alleged that on 5.11.2011, the complainant came to know through public notice in Tribune that land of M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. of which deal was conducted has already been mortgaged by the accused persons to Gold Developers Pvt. Ltd. (GDPL) and Gold Developers International Pvt. Ltd. (GDIPL) and both of these companies have their offices in New Delhi.Page 3 of 14The complainant has also alleged that all the proposed accused persons with dishonest intention fraudulently allured the Page 4 of 14 complainant to grab the amount of Rs.2.00 crores (Rupees two crores) and they have in furtherance of their conspiracy cheated the complainant.Page 4 of 14Learned counsel for the petitioner urges that after registration of FIR, the investigating agency started pressurising the petitioner/complainant to settle the matter with the accused persons and withdraw the complaint.Chapter XII of Cr.P.C. deals with the information to the police and their power to investigate.On an application under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. filed on behalf of the petitioner vide order dated 11.7.2013, the Metropolitan Magistrate, New Delhi observed that the investigation has been passive and no sufficient progress has been made despite registration of FIR.The Magistrate directed the ACP concerned to change the Investigating Officer, who do not seem to be proceeding on correct lines and with the expediency the case requires and mark this case to an investigating officer of the rank of Inspector at the same police station.It was also directed that all the efforts be made for completing the investigation within two months.According to the status report filed on behalf of the State, since there is no written agreement between the complainant and Page 12 of 14 the alleged accused person/company and there was time stipulation to materialise any sale deed and title of the property in question remained with the alleged firm M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. which later on entered into fresh agreement with M/s New Hope Developers which was also not materialised.Page 12 of 14The receipt dated 16.6.2011 clearly depicts that the said amount was paid by the complainant (purchaser) towards advance to the seller in respect of land admeasuring 160 acres at the rate of Rs.1.20 crores.Similarly the receipts dated 17.6.2011, 18.6.2011 and 24.6.2011 clearly show that the amounts mentioned in the receipts were paid in respect of the 160 acres of land at Amritsar and the detailed agreement was to be executed within one week.The same fulfils requirement of an agreement.The agreement to sell executed on 28.6.2011 between M/s Vishnurupa Developers Pvt. Ltd. and M/s New Hope Developers is on record.Counsel for the petitioner has also referred to a public notice published in the newspaper `Tribune' Chandigarh Edn.It is not clear that if the land in question of M/S Vishnurupa Devlopers Pvt.

No.8428 of 2018 moving Criminal Misc.It was requested by learned counsel for the petitioner that the grievance of the petitioner would be sufficiently met in case bail application of the petitioner is

Court).For a period of three weeks, no coercive steps shall be taken against the petitioner.With the aforesaid, the petition is disposed of.""The present bail applicant failed to move the bail application within the aforesaid prescribed time before Special Judge, C.B.I. concerned pursuant to order dated 10.01.2019 and he again moved to the High Court U/S 482 Cr.P.C. on the ground that applicant is seriously ill and is suffering from Chronic Hepatitis-B and acute Jaundice, therefore, could not moved the bail application within the aforesaid prescribed time.He further prayed for some more time.The relevant portion whereof is being quoted hereunder:-""Time is extended by one week only.In case petitioner surrenders before the Court below within one week from today and applies for bail, the Court below will consider the same in accordance with law in view of the observation made in the case of Lal Kamlendra 2009 (3) ADJ 328 (Supreme Court)"".Pursuant thereto the applicant moved the application for grant of bail before the Special Court, C.B.I., Lucknow.In the affidavit filed in support of the bail application it is stated that pursuant to the F.I.R. dated 28.08.2014 wherein the applicant is accused along with the other co-accused investigation is completed and charge sheet is filed therein on 30.06.2017 against him along with the other co-accused for committing the offence of criminal conspiracy through breach of trust, cheating, forgery of valuable documents, using forged documents as genuine and falsification of accounts by the abuse of official position etc., thereby causing an undue loss of approximately 44,01,800/- to the government exchequer and corresponding wrongful gain to themselves under the relevant Sections of I.P.C.It is argued by learned counsel that a circle level enquiry of this fraud was conducted by Director Postal Services, the report of the enquiry dated 08.05.2015 states the role of Mr. Mahendra Kumar Srivastava (the complainant in present case), the then Senior Superintendent of Post Office, Jhansi Division, Jhansi.It is alleged in this report that Mr. Mahendra Kumar Srivastav (the complainant) is one of the principle offenders of this fraud and was having effective in departmental rules of transfer and posting of employees or officials and also manipulation of records.He was placed under suspension by the Postal Department.The written complaint dated 20.08.2014 made by Sri Mahendra Kumar Srivastav, whereupon on 28.08.2014 the present F.I.R. is registered was submitted on preliminary enquiry done by him on two private complaints dated 04.03.2014 by Mr. Vinod Jain and 05.03.2014 by Mr. Manoj Shivhare.Learned counsel for the bail applicant further drew the attention towards the contents of aforesaid public complaints that they were apparently against Mr. Mahendra Kumar Srivastav himself along with the other three accused.Even then he was entrusted with the preliminary enquiry which he did almost in five years and thus save his skin, he fabricated the things towards the accused applicant.Some of the co-accused who are National Savings Agent were also shown in the commission of offence under conspiracy.As such each of the accused in the present case shown equally involved in the offence apparently have similar role as alleged in the prosecution case.The role of the applicant in the F.I.R as alleged is merely on speculation, the evidence with regard thereto is neither mentioned in the preliminary enquiry report, FIR nor in the charge sheet, therefore, prima facie the role, complicity and involvement of the accused in the alleged conspiracy is not established.Learned counsel further argued that so far as allegation as to the offence of forgery of valuable security and that of cheating, dishonesty, inducing delivery of property is concerned, the applicant has neither forged nor destroyed any valuable security, nor it is the case of prosecution also, moreover, the bare perusal of the charge sheet sufficiently shows that no act of applicant can make him liable within the scope of the above mentioned offences.Learned counsel further argued the applicant had ever been co-operative with the Investigating Officer, he has completed about four years service honestly and with full dedication to the Postal Department, he has to live life, which is expected to be considerably long, therefore, his application for release on bail should be considered on the aforesaid reasons.Learned counsel further submitted that as prima facie no offence is made out against the applicant and in aforesaid offences, the Special Court, C.B.I. has released on bail the co-accused Shailesh Khare vide order dated 24.01.2018 and Kalu Ram vide order dated 14.05.2019 (Annexure No.9).Later on the co-accused Anil Kumar Jain, Manoj Kumar Singhal were also granted bail by this Court vide order dated 17.07.2019 (Annexure No.10), therefore, he should also be released on bail so that he may be able to put his defence properly when the trial begins.Learned counsel further argued that despite the submission of charge sheet on 30.06.2017 still the trial has not begin, the accused is in Jail since 07.01.2020, though he is suffering from serious ailment, the Chronic Hepatitis-B and he is suffering a lot in incarceration.Learned counsel has made Annexure No.11 to the bail application, the medical prescription and treatment with that regard.During the entire period he had never been arrested but he never absconded from the process of the investigation, he has no criminal history.Learned counsel concluded his argument with a prayer to release the accused-applicant on bail.On the other hand, learned A.S.G. has opposed the bail plea of the accused-applicant on the ground that accused-applicant is participant in criminal conspiracy for withdrawing fraudulently from the National Savings Bank account of the depositors in Post Office which is public money.The accused applicant along with other co-accused has drained out a huge amount of public money.Learned A.S.G. further argued that it is clear and evident that National Savings Agents were also involved by the accused applicant and his companions in the conspiracy to commit the fraud.From the fact that the aforesaid agents arraigned in the present crime case have deposited Rs. 16,59,600/- and the same have been credited in the relevant account.The said National Savings Agent are Sri Anil Kumar Jain and Sri Manoj Singhal who are co-accused with the present applicant and other co-accused.Learned A.S.G. drew the attention towards the role of the present applicant that he is Postal Assistant and Counter Clerk, he has duty to verify the person seeking withdrawal of amount and present before him on the counter by documents like K.Y.C., Aadhar, etc. The applicant illegally omitted to discharge his duties acting under under the conspiracy and let the withdrawal done on the forged documents by imposters.He further submitted that during investigation it is implicated that the accused applicant working as counter clerk intentionally without identifying the real account holders done the process of withdrawal therefrom on the basis of forged identity presented by imposters.Learned A.S.G. argued that this was role of accused participant in the conspiracy and as such the applicant forged more than 400 Savings Account and withdrew amount from more than 100 accounts in aforesaid manner.Thereafter the original data entry and accounts were modified and deleted.According to prosecution the fraudulent withdrawal of amount was done from more than 169 National Savings Account with the complicity and involvement of the accused-applicant, causing the loss of Rs.1,31,35,200/-, this is a huge amount.He further submitted that the applicant as it is revealed from the record, was absconding and when on 21.03.2018 an N.B.W was issued, after a considerable delay, when process was issued under Section 82 Cr.P.C. vide order dated 02.12.2019 of the Special Court and enforced, he put appearance before the Court.As such the argument of learned counsel for the bail applicant is not true that accused-applicant co-operated during the investigation and he will ensure his attendance during trial, as it is doubtful from the conduct of the accused, therefore, he should not be released on bail so as to ensure the trial to proceed further.This is also the case of prosecution that the officials of the post office namely Indrajeet Tiwari, Shailesh Khare and the present accused-applicant, Vinod Kumar Chaudhary were in collusive concert and conspiracy with the co-accused Sri Sunil Tiwari (Agent), Sri Anil Jain, Sri Manoj Singhal, National Savings Agent and thus had developed a modus operandi, wherein the amount deposited in National Savings Account in post office by public was used to have been withdrawn on forwarding of other co-accused, putting forth fictitious and imposter depositors in place of real depositors.For withdrawal they used forged documents and the applicant as Counter Clerk used to accept the forged identity of the imposters without any verification with the original entries fed in the computer.Thus he permitted the withdrawal.Thereafter the three co-accused, the officials of a Bank used to modify the entries accordingly and thereafter delete the same.Their roles cannot be assessed as lesser or heavier as they have committed the offence in concert with each other with a common object to give effect to the dishonest and illegal withdrawals.If all these are proved by evidences in trial, the punishment would be severe, they cannot be placed at this stage at different pedestals, even the National Savings Agent, co-accused in the present case are also liable to be placed on the same pedestal along with the other co-accused.From the order of this Court dated 10.01.2019 in Criminal Misc.Application U/S 482 Cr.P.C. bearing no.8428 of 2018, it reflects that stay of arrest was sought on the ground of applicant's suffering from Chronic Hepatitis-B whereupon for the interim period arrest was stayed prescribing time to appear before the Special Court for moving application for bail.The medical prescriptions of the applicant along with the medical prescription of his wife, have already been annexed along with the bail application [Annexure-11 of the bail application]""Economic offences constitute a class apart and need to be visited with a different approach in the matter of bail.","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 174A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 229A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 13 in The Indian Penal

has further stated that he has produced A.3 & A.4 to P.W.18 and he has also stated about the disclosure statements made by A.3 & A.4 to P.W.18 and the consequential recoveries of the material objects at their instances.12.P.W.9 is the Finger Print Expert.He has stated that on the request made by P.W.18, he rushed to the place of occurrence and thoroughly examined the entire house for chance finger print at last, he found two chance finger prints on the left side door of the bureau in the bed room of the house where the deceased was lying dead.He marked the same as Exs.He took photographs of the same.However, they did not tally.Thereafter, when he compared the same the chance finger prints with the finger prints of the culprits available in the Finger Print Bureau, he found the finger print of A.1 tallied with the chance finger print (Ex.M.2) The said finger print of A.1 had been taken and preserved in connection with the case in Crime No.19/2011 under Sections 302 & 379 I.P.C., on the file of the Edaikal Police Station.In this connection, he submitted a report to P.W.18 under Ex.After the arrest of A.2, according to him, the finger print taken from A.2 was compared by him which tallied with the chance finger print (Ex.M.1) taken from the place of occurrence.In this regard, he submitted yet another report under Ex.13.P.W.10 is a Mechanic by profession working at Virudhachalam.He has stated that on 20.01.2012, A.3 had left his motor cycle to him for repair and then, he took it back on the same day evening.Thus, the evidence of P.W.10 is in no way help the case of the prosecution.The confession made by them and the recoveries of material objects.14.P.W.12 is the vital witness for the prosecution.He has stated that on 21.01.2012, A.1 came to him and gave him some of the stolen articles for the purpose of pledging.Accordingly, in order to help A.1, P.W.12, pledged the said jewels at Muthoot Finance, Veeraganur Village and gave him Rs.14,200/-.P.W.12 has further stated that some more jewels were pledged by him at Manapuram Gold, Veeraganur Village.On the arrest of A.1 and on the disclosure statement made by him, P.W.12 has identified P.Ws.13 & 14, the branch Managers of Muthoot Finance and Manapuram Gold.According to them, the stolen articles were recovered by P.W.18 under Exs.P.20 and 21 mahazar.P.W.15 is the Doctor who examined A.1 has given an opinion that A.1 was capable of performing penal sexual intercourse with a woman.P.W.16 has spoken about the post mortem conducted on the body of the deceased and her final opinion regarding the cause of the death.P.Ws.17 & 18 have spoken about the investigation done in this case and the final report filed.15.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accused, they denied the same as false.On the side of A.3, Mr.Ramadoss was examined as D.W.1; Mr.Manikandan @ Kalaimani (A.3) was examined as D.W.2 and four documents were exhibited as Exs.D.1 is the report of a local vernacular news paper dated 22.01.2012; Ex.D.2 is a copy of the voters identity card of A.2; Ex.16.Having considered all the above, the trial Court convicted all the accused as detailed in the first paragraph of this judgment.Challenging the same, the appellants/accused 1 to 5 are before this Court with these Criminal Appeals.17.We have heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and we have also perused the records carefully.18.This is a case based on circumstantial evidence.It is needless to point out that, in a case based on circumstantial evidence, the prosecution has to prove the circumstances projected by it, beyond reasonable doubts and all such proved circumstances, should form a complete chain, without any break, so as to unerringly point to the guilt of the accused and there should not be any other hypothesis which is inconsistent with the guilt of the accused.Keeping this broad principle in mind, let us go into the circumstances projected by the prosecution in the present case.19.The first and foremost circumstance projected by the prosecution is that on 20.01.2012, at about 9.00 am, when P.W.1 left for his company concerned, where he was working, he left the deceased alone at his house.Thus, from the evidence of P.W.1, it is crystal clear that the deceased was lastly seen alive at 9.00 am on the day of occurrence.20.The next circumstance projected by the prosecution is that according to P.W.1 at about 12.45 pm, the deceased spoke to him over cell phone and informed him that A.3 who was already known to their family had come to purchase certain cloth items in connection with a function at his house.He had selected certain cloth items to purchase.Within a short while thereafter, the deceased again called him and informed him that A.3 had taken only two shirts and had assured to come again to purchase the rest of the clothes.P.W.1 instructed her to collect the price and then to sell the clothes in the event A.3 came.This was the last call received from the deceased.We do not find any reason to reject this part of evidence.21.The learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the call details regarding the above phone calls between the deceased and P.W.1 have not been collected by the prosecution from the cell phone service providers.Ofcourse, it is a flaw.Had the call details been collected by the Police that would have given added strength to the case of the prosecution.In our considered view, the failure to collect those call details from the cell phone service providers has not in any manner caused any dent in the case of the prosecution, as P.W.1 had no axe to grind against these accused.22.It is the further evidence of P.W.1 that at 4.00 pm, he tried to contact the deceased over phone.The cell phone of the deceased was in a switch off mode.This would only indicate that the deceased was either dead and was not in a position to attend the call.It is the further evidence of P.W.1 that as per the usual course, he returned to his house around 6.30 and 7.00 pm on the day of occurrence.He found the main door of the house locked from outside.He had one key of the compound gate.Hence, he opened the compound gate, went inside the compound, switched on the outer lights.Since, he had no key of the main door of the house, he went to the nearby tea shop.After returning from the tea shop, he found the deceased had not returned.He waited for some time.Thereafter, he called P.W.2 over phone.At 9.45 pm, they broke open the main door of the house and they found the deceased dead and lying in a pool of blood with injuries inside the house.They also came to know that some of the properties had been stolen away.23.The deceased was found lying in a pool of blood and there were also injuries.The Doctor who conducted autopsy on the body of the deceased had opined that the deceased would have died due to strangulation as well as due to the other injuries found on the body of the deceased.24.P.W.1 has stated that M.Os.1 to 14 were found missing from the house of P.W.1 which includes the key punch with keys relating to the main door of the house and the key punch with keys relating to the bureau of P.W.1 & the deceased and also certain title deeds relating to property.These facts have been mentioned at the earliest point of time even in Ex.The assailants were not known.Therefore, it cannot be argued that the details of the stolen properties had been mentioned only for the purpose of the case.It is crystal clear that at the very first instance, P.W.1 had mentioned about the missing of M.Os.1 to 14 in Ex.P.1 itself which duly corroborates his oral evidence.Thus, the prosecution has established that M.Os.1 to 14 had been stolen away in the same occurrence in which, the deceased was done to death.Thus, it is presumable that the person or persons who committed murder of the deceased had committed robbery of the jewels viz., M.Os.1 to 14 also.25.Now, the next important question is as to who committed the above crime.26.So far as A.5 is concerned, in order to prove that he was one of the assailants/culprits who committed the crime, the prosecution relies only on the extra judicial confession said to have been given by A.3 to P.W.8 on 24.01.2012 at 5.30 pm.There is no other evidence against him.27.Now, turning to the case against A.4, according to the case of the prosecution, on 24.01.2012 at 5.30 pm, he appeared before P.W.8 along with A.3 and told him that he also wanted to surrender to the Police in connection with the above crime.P.W.8 admitted during cross examination that A.3 alone gave confession and he reduced the same into writing.It is his further evidence that A.4 did not give any confession.P.W.18 arrested him and on such arrest, he gave a voluntary confession, in which, certain Material Objects were marked one of the material objects is the Tata Sumo bearing registration No.TN 20 4105 (M.O.20).The other material objects recovered from A.4 have also not been connected to the crime.M.Os.1 to 14 have been marked as stolen properties.Out of the properties recovered on the disclosure statement made by A.4, there was only one gold item which is a gold bangle with the inscription of 916 hallmark weighing 3 soverigns.P.W.1 has identified M.O.2 bangle as one of the stolen properties.28.Now, turning to the case against A.1 to A.3, P.W.3 Mr.Veeramani has stated that on 20.01.2012, he found all these accused viz., A.1 to A.3 moving towards the house of the deceased.When he enquired them, they told that they were going to the house of the deceased to purchase clothes.From this evidence, the prosecution, to some extent, has proved that A.1 to A.3 were together moving towards the house of the deceased at or about the time of occurrence.We do not find any reason to reject the evidence of P.W.3 which is very convincing.29.The learned counsel for the appellants would however, submit that there was no test identification parade conducted for these three accused.But, a perusal of the evidence of P.W.3 would go to show that he has stated that all these three accused were already known to him and therefore, the argument that there should have been prior test identification parade, deserves only to be rejected.30.Then, comes the vital evidence of chance finger prints found at the place of occurrence.P.W.9, the finger print expert has stated that on the request made by P.W.18, he visited the place of occurrence and searched for chance finger print and at last, he found two chance finger prints, on the left side door of the bureau in the bed room of the deceased where the deceased was lying dead.Since, the properties were stolen away from the bureau the culprits had occasion to handle the door of the bureau.31.P.W.9 has further stated that he lifted those two chance finger prints and marked the same as Exs.He has further stated that when he compared the same with the finger prints of the inmates of the house namely P.W.1 and the deceased and also that of P.W.2, they did not tally with the same.He preserved the same.He has further stated that he compared the said chance finger prints with the admitted finger prints of the accused involved in various cases which were preserved by the Finger Print Bureau.He found on comparison that the finger print of the first accused herein preserved in connection with the case in Crime No.19/2011 under Sections 302 & 379 I.P.C., on the file of the Edaikal Police Station, tallied with the chance finger print marked as Ex.Thus, from this evidence, the prosecution has clearly proved that A.1 had gone into the house of the deceased and that is how his finger print had come into being on the left side door of the bureau of the house.Similarly, after the arrest of A.2, the sample finger print taken from him was compared and the same was tallied with the sample finger print marked as Ex.32.The learned counsel for the appellants would submit that the photograph of the chance finger prints taken have not been marked in evidence.Therefore, we hold that the said chance finger prints belonging to A.1 and A.2 found at the bureau at the house of the deceased is a very strong circumstance to prove that A.1 & A.2 had gone to the house of the deceased at or about the time of occurrence and handled the bureau.33.The next circumstance is the arrest of A.1, A.2 & A.5 on 26.01.2012 at 2.00 am.During routine vehicle check up by P.W.18, he intercepted the vehicle bearing registration No.TN 49 H 1666 and on such interception, A.1 gave a voluntary confession out of which, some of the stolen properties were recovered and from out of the disclosure statement made by A.2, some more stolen properties were recovered.The details of the stolen properties so recovered on their disclosure statements have already been dealt with herein above elaborately.34.The learned counsel for the appellants would submit that P.W.1 has admitted during cross examination that A.1 was brought to the place of occurrence by about 1.00 am on the next day of the occurrence itself.From out of this, the learned counsel would submit that the story propounded by the prosecution that A.1, A.2 & A.5 were arrested only on 21.06.2012 at 2.00 am cannot be true.Ofcourse, he has stated that on the next day of the occurrence, at 1.00 am, A.1 was brought to the place of occurrence by the Police.But, we are not prepared to give much weightage for this part of evidence of P.W.1 because, due to fading memory, P.W.1 would have stated so.Therefore, much weightage cannot be given for that part of evidence.35.P.W.11 is an independent witness.A.1 & A.2 have got no explanation regarding the possession of stolen articles including the key punch of the main door as well as the key punch of the bureau which have been mentioned in the F.I.R., itself.In the absence of any such explanation by A.1 and A.2 for the possession of the above stated stolen articles, we have no option but, to presume as provided in Section 114 Indian Evidence Act that these two accused had also committed the crime in question.36.The evidences of P.Ws.12, 13 & 14 also lend assurance to the fact that on 21.01.2012, A.1 was found in possession of some of the stolen properties which were given to P.W.12 by him and P.W.12 in turn, produced the same to P.Ws.13 & 14 for the purpose of pledging.The evidences of P.Ws.12 to 14 also further lend assurance to the above conclusion which we have arrived at.So far as A.3 is concerned, undoubtedly, his confession to P.W.8 is a substantive evidence against him.From these circumstances, the prosecution in our considered view, has clearly established that A.1 to A.3 had gone to the house of the deceased under the guise of purchasing clothes and committed murder of the deceased and also stolen away the valuable articles as detailed herein above.Thus, so far as A.1 to A.3 are concerned, we hold that the prosecution has clearly proved their guilt and therefore, the appeals filed by A.1 to A.3 are liable to be dismissed.38.Now, turning to the quantum of punishment imposed on A.1 to A.3,

+"[a] The accused 1 and 2 are brothers.They are residents of Lakshimayur Village in Omalur Taluk.The first accused had a son by name Selvam and another son by name Venkatesan.The first accused was living with his family members, including his sons.Mr.Selvam (since deceased) was involving in petty thefts.Despite the warning and advice given by the first accused, he had not stopped the same.It is further alleged that because of the said bad conduct of the deceased Selvam, the first accused decided to do away with him.[b] On 24.10.2010 at about 10.00 p.m. the first accused had gone to Thuvaraikadu and he was waiting there.He had asked his another son Venkatesan to bring Selvam to Thuvaraikadu.Accordingly, Venkatesan [juvenile accused] took the deceased to Thuvaraikadu.By about 12 midnight, the first accused pushed the deceased down and Venkatesan killed him.Then, the first accused cut the deceased with koduval on his head.The deceased succumbed to the injuries instantaneously.Then, the accused 1 and 2 returned to their house.After concealing the koduval at his house, the first accused met his brother the second accused and informed him about the same.Then the accused 1 and 2 decided to cause disappearance of the body.Therefore, together they went to Thuvaraikadu with a gunny bag, put the dead body into the gunny bag, hid the same with stones and pushed it into a well.This occurrence was not noticed by anyone.[c] On 25.10.2010, at about 8.00 a.m., the first accused went to P.W.1, the then Village Administrative Officer of Taramangalam and wanted to confess about the above occurrence.P.W.1 agreed to record the same.The first accused then gave a voluntary confession narrating the above events and admitting his guilt as well as the guilt of his son Venkatesan and the second accused.The first accused subscribed his Left Thumb Impression to the same.(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.) The appellant is the first accused in S.C.No.213 of 2012 on the file of the learned I Additional District and Sessions Judge, Salem.He stood charged for offences under Sections 364 r/w 34, 302 and 201 IPC.Including the appellant, there were two accused.By judgment dated 27.03.2013, the trial Court convicted both the accused.The trial Court, however, acquitted the accused from the charge under Section 364 r/w 34 IPC.So far as the first accused/appellant is concerned, he was convicted under Section 302 IPC and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and pay a fine of Rs.2,000/-, in default to undergo simple imprisonment for one year and for the offence under Section 201 IPC, he was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 2 years and pay a fine of Rs.500/-, in default to undergo six months simple imprisonment.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the accused/appellant is before this Court with this appeal.He took the first accused along with Exs.P.W.11, the Sub Inspector of Police on receipt of Exs.P1 and P2, registered a case in Cr.No.460 of 2010 under Sections 302 and 201 IPC against all the three accused, including the juvenile.P16 is the FIR.Then, he forwarded Exs.P.W.15 arrested the first accused in the presence of P.W.1 and another witness.On such arrest, at 10.00 a.m., he made a voluntary confession, in which he disclosed the place where he had thrown the dead body of the deceased.In pursuance of the same, he took the police and the witnesses to the well and identified the same.P.W.15 prepared an Observation Mahazar and a Rough Sketch showing the place of occurrence [Exs.P25 and 26] in the presence of the same witnesses.Then he gave intimation to the Fire and Rescue Service for help.When his men climbed down the well, they found a gunny bag immersed in water.They brought it out.When it was opened, the dead body of the deceased was found inside.P.W.15 then conducted inquest on the body of the deceased and forwarded the same for post-mortem.[e] P.W.5 conducted post-mortem on the body of the deceased on 26.10.2010 at 1.00 p.m. He found the following injuries:""An oblique wide open chopped injury involving front and right side of neck M- 20 x 10 x bone deep with exposing of trachea and oesophagus with underlying pre and para vertebral muscle contused.O/D Underlying blood vessels, soft tissue, nerves, right side carotid, vertebral artery, external and internal jugular vein severed, with sternomastoid muscle severed.The cut fracture of cervical spine C2 with severance of underlying spinal cord served.This injury is situated at the level of 8 cms above supra sternal notch and 5 cms below mid chin on right side.""He opined that the death of the deceased was due to effects of shock and haemorrhage due to neck injury.According to him, the death would have occurred 36 hours prior to the autopsy.[f] P.W.15 continued the investigation.On the disclosure statement made by the first accused, he produced a blood stained shirt and a blood stained pant from his house.At 6.15 p.m., on 25.10.2010, P.W.15 recovered the same.On the same day, at 5.00 p.m., he arrested the juvenile accused Venkatesan and the second accused Raja.On such arrest, the juvenile accused Venkatesan gave a voluntary confession, in which he disclosed the place where he had hidden M.Os.4 and 5 [multiple colour full hand shirt and grey colour pant].On returning to the police station, P.W.15 forwarded the accused to Court for judicial remand and handed over all the material objects to the Court, with a request to send the same for chemical examination.The Chemical Analysis Report reveals that these material objects, including the aruval which was recovered at the instance of the first accused contained human blood.On completing the investigation, he laid charge sheet against the accused.[g] Since Mr.Venkatesan was found to be a juvenile in conflict of law, he was proceeded against before the appropriate Juvenile Justice Board.These two accused alone faced the trial before the trial Court.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 15 witnesses were examined and 29 documents were exhibited, besides 11 material objects.Out of the said witnesses, P.W.1 has spoken about the extra judicial confession given by the first accused.P.Ws.2, 6, 7 and 8 have turned hostile and they have not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner.P.W.3 is the owner of the well.He has stated that the gunny bag was found in the well.P.W.4 also has stated that the dead body was taken from the well.P.W.5 has spoken about the post-mortem conducted and the Final Report regarding the cause of death.P.W.9 -

the Constable who took the FIR from the Sub Inspector of Police and has handed over the same to the learned Judicial Magistrate has not offered any explanation for the delay.P1 a doubtful document.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 364 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Biri Singh and accused Krishan present there and came to know that accused Krishan along with his other co-associate had inflicted injuries on the person of one lady namely Pinky and that accused Krishan had been apprehended at the spot and that the injured lady had already been removed to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Mangol Puri, Delhi by her husband/PW-3 Deepak Kumar.PW-26 Ins.Ravinder Singh went to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Mangol Puri, Delhi, along with his staff and accused Krishan, leaving PW-21 Ct.Joginder at the spot.The PW-8 HC Raj Kumar and PW-13 Ct.Ravinder were also called to the hospital and accused Krishan was handed over to them with directions to get his medical examination conducted.The PW-26 Ins.Ravinder Singh also met PW-3 Deepak, husband of injured Pinky in the hospital, however, he did not give any statement then as he was busy Crl.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 2 of 12 in treatment of his wife.At about 3:15/3:20 A.M. the concerned doctor declared Smt. Pinky dead.Thereafter, Ex.PW-3/A i.e. statement of PW-3 Deepak Kumar was recorded, wherein he stated that he was residing with his family in rented accommodation at P-II/1484, Sultan Puri, Delhi and was working in a factory.He had married Pinki (since deceased), two years prior to the incident.On the night of the incident, complainant was watching film on television along with his parents, sister Sadhana and cousin (maternal brother) Vijay in the room, while his wife was sleeping on a bed on the roof of the room.At about 12.30/12.45 mid night, the complainant heard his wife screaming and he came out of the room and saw that two boys had climbed roof of the house.Present appeal has been filed by the appellant under Section 374(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for setting aside the judgment dated 12.7.2013 and order on sentence dated 16.7.2013 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Rohini Courts, Delhi, in case FIR No.1674/06 registered under Sections 302/397/34 IPC at Police Station Sultan Puri, by which the appellant has been convicted to undergo imprisonment for life for the offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code with fine of Rs.5,000/- and in default of payment of fine to undergo further simple imprisonment for six months.The appellant was further directed to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for the period of seven years with fine of Rs.3,000/- for the offence punishable under Section 397 of the Indian Penal Code and in default of payment of fine Simple Imprisonment for Crl.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 1 of 12 three months.It was directed that both the sentences would run concurrently and benefit of section 428 was given to the appellant.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 1 of 12The case of the prosecution, as noticed by the trial court in its judgment dated 12.7.2013, is as under:As the complainant was liming the ladder, kept for going to the roof, to save his wife, both the boys started coming down from the said ladder.The first boy pushed complainant backwards and managed to escape by climbing down the ladder, however, complainant managed to apprehend the other boy, who had given blow with a brick on his wife's head, while he was attempting to escape.In the meantime, public persons also collected at the spot and gave beatings to accused Krishan, as his name was revealed later on.Complainant took his wife to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital and while doing so, he observed that the artificial Crl.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 3 of 12 ear-rings, which his wife had been wearing, were missing.The complainant further started that accused Krishan told that name of his co-accused was Parveen.The complainant prayed that necessary action be taken against the accused persons.The PW-26 Ins.Ravinder Singh prepared rukka Ex. PW-26/A on the basis of the said complaint and sent it to PS for registration of the case through PW-12 Ct. Biri Singh.""Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 2 of 12Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 3 of 12At the outset, learned counsel for the appellant submits that he does not wish to contest the conviction of the appellant under Section 397/34 of the Indian Penal Code.It is further contended that the act was committed without premeditation, in the heat of the moment and only one blow was inflicted, and the appellant did not act in a cruel manner.We have heard learned counsel for the parties and examined the trial court record, the evidence and the judgment passed by the trial court.PW-3, Deepak Kumar, who is the husband of the deceased, has supported the case of the prosecution and has given details as to how on hearing the noise of his wife he immediately came out of the room with Vijay, his cousin brother, and saw two boys were present on the roof.He further testified that one of the boys had gagged his wife's mouth while the other was holding a brick in his hand, which he hit on her wife's head.The person, who had hit the wife of PW-3 with a brick, was apprehended.He was given beatings by the neighbours.He disclosed his name as Krishan, Crl.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 4 of 12 appellant herein.PW-3 identified the appellant in Court.It is further testified by PW-3 that at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital her wife was declared dead.PW-3 also testified that the appellant had disclosed the name of the other boy as Praveen.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 4 of 12Based on the testimony of the eye-witnesses, PW-3 Deepak Kumar and PW-6 Vijay Kumar, PW-5, Harpal Singh, and having regard to the fact that the appellant was apprehended at the spot, the trial court has rightly convicted the appellant.The only argument raised by learned counsel for the appellant is that the present case would fall under the Section 304, Part-I, of the Indian Penal Code.It has also been brought to the notice of the Court that the appellant has already undergone the sentence of more than eight years.Section 304 of the Indian Penal Code, reads as under:Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder.--Whoever commits culpable homicide not amounting to murder shall be punished with 1[imprisonment for life], or imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine, if the act by which the death is caused is done with the intention of causing death, or of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine, or with both, if the act is done with the knowledge that it is likely to cause death, but without any intention to cause death, or to cause such bodily injury as is likely to cause death.""In Rajendra Singh Vs.""In order to bring the case within Exception 4 to Section 300 of Indian Penal Code all the following conditions have to be Crl.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 5 of 12 fulfilled, namely, (1) The act must be committed without pre- meditation in a sudden fight in the heat of passion; (2) when there was a sudden quarrel; (3) without the offender taking undue advantage; (4) and the accused had not acted in a cruel or unusual manner.Therefore, there must be a mutual conduct or exchanging of blows on each other.When the deceased was armed and did not cause any injury to the accused even following a sudden quarrel and the accused has inflicted fatal blows on the deceased, Exception 4 is not attracted"" - In Kikar Singh Vs.State of Rajasthan AIR 1993 SC 2426, it was held that :Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 5 of 12""If the accused used deadly weapons against the unarmed man and struck a blow on the head it must be held that giving the blows with the knowledge that they were likely to cause death, he had taken undue advantage.The court took into account based on the testimony of the witnesses that the accused persons did not intend to cause death and also when the persons reached the place the accused persons ran away.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 6 of 12Even more important aspect is that while they were beating the deceased the witnesses reached the place and shouted whereupon the accused persons immediately ran away instead of inflicting more injuries with intent to kill the deceased.vs. State of Punjab, (1987) 2 SCC 14, this Court came across a similar type of incident, where the prosecution case was that one Maya Bai had two sons and two brothers.The deceased was one Kishore Singh.The accused suspected that Mayabai had illicit relations with the deceased.Hence one day when the deceased was returning from village and when he reached the field of Kashmiri Lal, the accused came out of the wheat field.The first appellant had a kirpan and the second appellant had kappa.It was alleged that the four accused took deceased on wheat field and threw him on the ground.There was an alarm created by Lachhman Singh, PW-3, which had attracted PW-4 and Mohinder Singh.When they reached the spot, the accused ran away with their weapons.The deceased had seven injuries on his body.Injury No.7 was fatal according to the doctor, who examined him.It was argued that the prosecution had not come forward with true case as to how the incident happened.The trial Judge found two accused Jit Singh and Teja Singh not guilty, since the case against them was not proved beyond the reasonable doubt.The appellants were convicted because they had weapons with them unlike the acquitted accused.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 7 of 12The trial Judge was not wholly justified in observing that there was no evidence about the so-called illicit relationship between Maya Bai and Kishore Singh, the deceased.The materials available create considerable doubt in our mind as to whether the appellants really intended to kill Kishore Singh or whether his misconduct pushed them to wreak revenge against the deceased and in this pursuit attacked him.But we are not fully satisfied that the appellants intended to kill the deceased.The correct approach on the evidence and other circumstances in this case, would according to us, be to find the accused guilty under Section 304 Part I, and to sentence them under that section.""After analyzing the entire evidence, it is evidently clear that the occurrence took place suddenly and there was no premeditation on the part of the appellants.There is no evidence that the appellants made special preparation for assaulting the deceased with the intent to kill him.There is no dispute that the appellants assaulted deceased in such a manner that the deceased suffered grievous injuries which was sufficient to cause death, but we are convinced that the injury was not intended by the appellants to kill the deceased.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 8 of 12Concededly, there was no enmity between the parties and there is no allegation of the prosecution that before the occurrence, the appellant had pre-meditated the crime of murder.We are inclined to think that having faced some sort of hostile attitude from the family of the deceased over the cable connection, a sudden quarrel took place between the appellant and the son of the deceased, on account of heat of passion, the appellant went home; took out his father s revolver and started firing indiscriminately, and unfortunately one of the bullets hit the deceased on her chin.At the most, it can be said that he had the knowledge that the use of revolver was likely to cause death and, as such, the present case would fall within the third clause of Section 299 IPC.Thus, in our opinion, the offence committed by the appellant was only ""culpable homicide not amounting to murder.Under these circumstances, we are inclined to bring down the offence from first degree ""murder"" to ""culpable homicide not amounting to murder"", punishable under the second part of Section 304 IPC.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length.In our considered view, when the bricks were thrown on the vital parts of the body of the deceased who was an old man of 78 years, in that event, knowledge to commit murder can definitely be attributed to the appellant.In this case, the deceased died instantaneously after receiving the brick injuries.On consideration of the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, the ends of justice would be met if the conviction of the appellant under sections 302/149 IPC is set aside and the appellant is convicted under sections 304 Part- II/149 IPC and sentenced to five years imprisonment.""In the case of Gudu Ram Vs.State of Himachal Pradesh reported at 2013 Crl.L.J. 481, the accused had hit the deceased on the head by a wooden bat.The next question to be considered is whether the appellant had the intention to kill Dalip Singh.Here we have some difficulty in accepting the understanding of the events as narrated by the Trial Court and the High Court.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 10 of 12However, the nature and number of injuries and their location (the skull) as well as the ""weapon"" used (a small wooden cricket bat) lead us to conclude that to a reasonable person, an attack of the nature launched by the appellant on Dalip Singh could cause his death.While it may be difficult to delve into the mind of the attacker to decode his intentions, knowledge of the consequences of his actions can certainly be attributed to him.Under the circumstances, we partly allow this appeal and set aside the conviction of the appellant for the murder of Dalip Singh but convict him of an offence punishable under the second part of Section 304 of the IPC.It is also not the case of the prosecution that the appellant had carried brick to hit the deceased on her head.Thus, it can be said that when the deceased made a noise the brick was used to silence her.The post mortem report would show that only one blow was given and thus it cannot be said that Crl.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page 11 of 12 the appellant had acted in cruel or undue manner or took undue advantage of the deceased.Accordingly, the appeal is partly allowed.We are of the view that in the present case the appellant is liable to be convicted under Section 304 Part-I IPC and not under section 302 IPC, having regard to the above factors and more importantly that a brick was used at the spur of moment and only one blow was inflicted.Appeal No. 1080/2013 Page

+"AMITAVA ROY, J.The subject matter of scrutiny is the judgment and order dated01.10.2008 passed by the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh inCriminal Appeal No. 378-DB of 2004 concurring with the verdict of the TrialCourt in convicting the appellant for the offence under Sections 302 and307 IPC while acquitting the co-accused Harpartap Singh, his son.Following his conviction, the appellant had been awarded sentence of lifeimprisonment and fine of Rs.5,000/- with default sentence under Section 302IPC and five years rigorous imprisonment and fine of Rs.2,000/- withdefault sentence under Section 307 IPC.Both the sentences have beenordered to run concurrently.The High Court has concurred with thesentence as well.We have heard Mr. Yatindra Singh, Senior Advocate, learned AmicusCuriae for the appellant and Mr. Saurabh Ajay Gupta, learned counsel forthe respondent.The incident witnessing the death of Jatinder Singh and the injuriessustained by Lakhwinder has the genesis in a trifle.On a statementrendered with regard thereto by Gurdial Singh(PW1), the First InformationReport was registered against the appellant and his son Harpartap.It wasalleged that over a lingering land dispute between the informant and theappellant, who are brothers, on 06.07.2002, while Jugraj, the son of theinformant was in his fields, the appellant had hurled abuses to him.Jugraj having felt humiliated and anguished, on returning home, complainedabout the same to his father Gurdial, the informant.The houses of thebrothers were adjacent to each other.When the appellant returned homefrom his fields, the informant went to the terrace of the roof of his houseand summoned the former to that of his.The appellant and his sonHarpartap responded to the call whereafter informant enquired of Gurpal asto why he had abused his son.This enraged the appellant and whilearrogantly proclaiming that he was not only justified to do so but that hewould continue to conduct himself as done, rushed downstairs of his houseand brought his DBBL gun.His son Harpartap, the acquitted co-accused wasalso with him.It is alleged by the prosecution that on the exhortation ofHarpartap, the appellant opened fire, which hit the informant on the sideof his head.Meanwhile drawn by the commotion, Paramjit Kaur, the wife ofthe informant, Jatinder Singh and Lakhwinder Singh, friends of Jugrajrushed to the terrace.On seeing them, the appellant fired from his guntowards them, which hit Paramjit and Jatinder on their abdomen andLakhwinder on his mouth and head.On hue and cry being raised, theappellant and the accused fled the scene.The injured were rushed to the Guru Nanak Dev Hospital, Amritsarwhere they were treated.However, Jatinder succumbed to the injuriessustained.After completing the investigation, charge-sheet was laidagainst both the accused persons under Sections 302 and 307 IPC.The accused persons denied the charge and, therefore were tried.Theprosecution examined several witnesses including the informant, theinjured and the doctor who had performed the post-mortem examination andhad attended the injuries of others involved.The accused persons wereexamined under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and on the completion of the trial, theTrial Court convicted the appellant under Sections 302, 307 IPC butacquitted the co-accused Harpartap.To reiterate, the High Court hasaffirmed the conviction and the sentence recorded by the Trial Court.The learned Amicus Curiae has persuasively argued that theprosecution has utterly failed to prove the charge against the appellantwhich is patently deducible amongst others from the exoneration of the co-accused Harpartap, who allegedly had instigated the former to open fire onthe deceased and the injured.We have examined the evidence pertaining to the incident as availableon records.The eye-witnesses including the informant have offered aconsistent, coherent and convincing narration thereof which does not admitof any doubt of their trustworthiness.The plea of their familyrelationship to discredit them does not commend for acceptance in theattendant facts and circumstances.Noticeably, in course of theinvestigation, amongst others, the 12 bore DBBL gun loaded with two livecartridges used for the offence had been recovered from the appellant.Thesite plan prepared by the investigating officer also pins the place ofoccurrence as deposed by the witnesses.Further four cartridge shells havealso been recovered from the said spot.The medical evidence reveals injuries on the deceased and the injuredcompatible with the weapon used.The charges levelled against theappellant thus have been proved beyond doubt.We order accordingly.Ex-consequenti, the appeal is partly allowed.","['Section 307

+"At that time, the accused 1 and 2 came in TATA Sumo Car bearing Registration No.TN29AA5497 and asked the petitioner to take his Motor Cycle on the road to pave free way for their TATA Sumo Car.After completion of the investigation, the respondent police laid a charge sheet before the learned Judicial Magistrate No-I, Dharmapuri.The learned Judicial Magistrate No-I, Dharmapuri, taken the case on file in P.R.C.No.19 of 2011, thereafter the learned Judicial Magistrate No-I, Dharmapuri, has committed the case to the learned Principal Sessions Court, Dharmapuri.The learned Principal Sessions Judge taken the case on file in S.C.No.96 of 2011 and made over the case to the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Dharmapuri, for disposal in accordance with law.Learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Dharmapuri, after completing the formalities, framed the charges against the accused persons for the offence under Sections 448, 307 and 506(ii) IPC.http://www.judis.nic.in 3 3 Before the trial Court, in order to prove the case of the prosecution, P.W.1 to P.W.10 were examined and 9 documents were marked besides material objects M.O.1 to M.O.3 were produced.After completing the prosecution evidences, when the incriminating circumstances culled out from the prosecution witnesses were put before the respondents 2 to 5, the respondents 2 to 5 denied as false.On the side of defence Ex.D1 was marked but, no oral evidence was examined.3 After completing the trial and also hearing the arguments on either side, considering the materials place before the trial Court, the trial Court has found that the prosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and acquitted the accused.4 Challenging the said judgment passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Dharmapuri, in S.C.No.96 of 2011, the defacto complainant has filed the present revision case before this Court.5 The learned counsel for the revision petitioner would submit that P.W.1 sustained injury and admitted in the hospital.Accident Register and the evidence of Doctor/P.W.2 and eyewitness in this case corroborated the same.P2 A.R.Copy and acquitted the accused persons, which warrants interference of this Court.6 The learned counsel appearing for the respondents two to five submitted that in this case, A1 also sustained injury and admitted in the hospital and copy of the Accident Register was marked Ex.P.W.1 also admitted that during cross examination, A1 also sustained injury and admitted in the hospital.Whereas, the Investigating Officer has stated that he arrested the accused at 08.45p.m, it is not possible, when A1 sustained injury and also admitted in the hospital, the Investigating Officer could arrested him.The trial Court has rightly appreciated the evidence that the arrest of A1 was suspicious.The prosecution has not registered the case against the petitioner and they have not conducted the fair investigation.It is well settled law that, if two views are possible the view in favour of the accused should be extended and when the accused also sustained injury, it is for the prosecution to establish as to how the injury was sustained by the accused.The dispute arose between the petitioner and accused 1 and 2 with regard to moving of Motor Cycle on the road.Then A1 and A2 called the accused A3 and A4 to the above dispute place through their mobile phone.On 08.05.2010 at about 06.00p.m., all the accused entered into the house of petitioner and committed the offence.Due to the above dispute all the accused have voluntarily entered into the house of petitioner and A2 has voluntarily attacked the petitioner on the left cheek with small knife and A1 has voluntarily attacked the petitioner on the left jaw with blade and A3 has voluntarily attacked the petitioner of the chest with stone and A4 has voluntarily attacked the petitioner on his back with iron rod and all the accused threatened the petitioner by showing knife and iron rod andhttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 all the accused caused injuries to the petitioner with an intention and knowledge and under such circumstances, if the above act of the accused caused the death of petitioner the accused would be guilty of murder and thereby all the accused appears to have committed the offence punishable under Sections 448, 307 r/w 120(b) IPC.9 In order to prove the case of the prosecution, as many as 10 witnesses were examined, out of which 10 witnesses PW.1 is the injured witness.On careful reading of the evidence of P.W.1 during cross examination, he admitted that A1 also sustained injury and he was also admitted in the hospital and getting treatment.The prosecution has not explained as to how A1 sustained injury.On the side of the defence Accident Register copy/Ex.The Doctor who made entry in the Accident Register was not examined.P.W.2 himself admitted that during cross examination A1 was brought to the hospital at about 06.25p.m., and also this was not denied or properly explained by the prosecution.Therefore, once P.W.2 has stated that P.W1 was admitted in the hospital and P.W.1 was brought to the hospital at about 06.30 p.m., it is relevant to note that A1 was admitted in the hospital at 06.25 p.m., itself.As per the evidence of the Doctor, P.W.1 was admitted at 06.30 p.m., on 08.05.2010, A1 was admitted on the same day at 06.25 p.m, itself.http://www.judis.nic.in 7 Whereas, the Investigation Officer has stated that A1 was arrested at 08.45p.m, near by the four road.P.W.9 Sub-Inspector of Police deposed that he arrested the A1 on 08.05.2010 at 08.45p.m near four road.10 From the careful reading of the evidence of P.W.2 and P.W.9, it transpires that if at all the A1 was admitted in the hospital at 06.25p.m., P.W.9 could not have arrested A1 at 08.45 p.m, and the same creates suspicion.Further, P.W.1 himself admitted that A1 also sustained injury and also admitted in the hospital and taking treatment.When A1 also sustained injury, the prosecution has not explained as to how A1 sustained injury and without registering the case against P.W.1, it is stated that P.W.1 was assaulted by two known persons and two unknown persons.The police should have recorded the statement from P.W.2 the very same Officer had recorded the statement from P.W.1 when he was admitted in the hospital.Further there is no compelled circumstances to take different view.Under these circumstances, this Court finds that there is no reason to interfere with the judgment of the trial Court and there is no merit in the revision case.12 In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed.05.07.2019 Index:yes/no Internet:yes/no sbn To The learned Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track

+"The facts giving rise to the present case, in brief, are thus--The accused is the resident of Karad.He had married to one Malan who died because of burn injuries previously, therefore, he solemnized his second marriage with deceased Sanjivani.He was living with his children and wife.He always used to quarrel with her after drinking liquor.On the date of the incident i.e., on 18.4.1999 he was in drunken condition and picked up quarrel with his wife at 5.00 p.m. At that time, daughter Rupali (P.W. 2) was playing outside the house.She was sent to call her maternal uncle Shiva (P.W. 3).He arrived at the spot of the incident and saw that the accused had been quarrelling with his wife and he had poured kerosene on her person.The accused then took match-box and lighted match-stick and threw it on the person of his wife and consequently she sustained burn injuries.The accused and Shiva took her to the Cottage Hospital, Karad, for medical treatment at about 7.05 p.m. Dr. Chivate (P.W. 6), medical officer on duty, started medical treatment.He also recorded the history of the incident as given by Sanjivani who disclosed that it was her husband who had set her on fire.JUDGMENT P.V. Kakade, J.The medical officer informed the police.Police Head Constable Tukaram (P.W. 8) visited the Cottage Hospital at about 11.05 p.m. and recorded the F.I.R. wherein deceased Sanjivani also disclosed him that it was her husband who set her on fire by pouring kerosene upon her.On the basis of the F.I.R., offence was registered at C.R. No. 94 of 1999 punishable under Section 307 of the I.P.C. at City Police Station, Karad.Sanjivani was then transferred to Civil Hospital, Satara for the purpose of medical treatment where she succumbed to her injury.Dr. Marulkar (P.W. 9) had effected the autopsy on the dead body and post-mortem report was duly submitted to the police.According to the report, Sanjivani sustained 85% burn injuries and she died as a result of those burn injuries.Doctor also opined that burn injuries were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.He also recorded the death as homicidal on the case paper.The offence was converted into 302 of the I.P.C. against the accused.The investigating officer visited the spot of incident and drew spot panchnama.Inquest panchnama was held and the body was sent for post-mortem examination whose report is part of the record.Statements of witnesses were recorded and incriminating articles seized in the course of title investigation were sent to C.A. for examination whose report was received and is part of the record.On completion of the investigation, the charge-sheet was sent to the Court of law.The learned Magistrate committed the case to the Court of Sessions.The learned Sessions Judge, Satara framed charge against the accused for the impugned offence to which he pleaded not guilty.Defence of the accused is that of total denial of any criminal liability.According to the Sessions Judge, it was a homicidal death suffered by Sanjivani.Prosecution led its evidence at length on which basis the learned trial Judge came to the conclusion that the evidence on record is sufficient to bring home the guilt and accordingly recorded the order of the conviction and severe sentence against the accused in aforesaid manner.Hence the appeal.We have heard Mr. A.P. Mundargi for the appellant and Mrs. Kejariwal, learned A.P.P. for the State.We have also perused the entire evidence on record.As can be seen from the evidence on record, it is the case based on two dying declarations besides evidence of various witnesses providing corroboration to the dying declarations.The evidence of Dr. Chiyate, medical officer of Cottage Hospital, Karad, shows that on 19.4.1999 he was on duty.At about 7.15 p.m. on 18.4.1999 patient Sanjivani Patne was admitted in the hospital with burn injuries.He examined her and found that there were burn injuries all over her body to the extent of 72%.Accordingly he prepared case paper.The patient also gave history stating that burn injuries were caused by her husband by pouring kerosene over her person at about 7.15 p.m. at Mangalwar Peth, Karad.At the time of recording history, as per Dr. Chivate's evidence, Sanjivani was conscious and well oriented.She was responding to verbal commands.There was smell of kerosene.Even her hair were wet due to kerosene.The medical treatment was given to her and the patient was transferred to Krishna Hospital at Karad at about 8.30 p.m. but was again brought by the relatives to the Cottage Hospital at 10.30 p.m. At 10.45 p.m. he informed his superiors to arrange for recording dying declaration of Sanjivani and, therefore, police were informed to record dying declaration.At 12.30 a.m. during the night, the patient was transferred to Civil Hospital, Satara, for further treatment.According to Dr. Chivate, Sanjivani was also in a position to talk and give statement during the period from 10.30 p.m. to 12.30 a.m. during the night.This version of Dr. Chivate is corroborated by case history record Exh. 30 wherein it is clearly stated that patient had given history of homicidal burn by her husband by pouring kerosene upon her at 7.00 p.m. at Karad, Mangalwar Peth.It was observed that patient was conscious and well oriented and cooperative and was responding to verbal commands.The second dying declaration comes in the form of F.I.R. P.W. 8 Tukaram, Police Head Constable attached to Karad Police Station had stated that Head Constable Ankushe directed him to record dying declaration of Sanjivani on receipt of the information.Perusal of Exh. 31 shows that Sanjivani had stated that it was accused--her husband who had poured kerosene on her person and set her on fire.According to her, she was subjected to such treatment by accused because he suspected her chastity.This dying declaration was recorded in the presence of Dr. Chivate as he has testified to.Moreover, P.W. 8 has also categorically stated that while he recorded the statement Exh. 32, Dr. Chivate was present throughout the time and after recording the statement he obtained thumb mark of Sanjivani below it and then obtained signature of the medical officer upon the same.P.W. 2 Rupali, 10 years old daughter of deceased Sanjivani was examined as a witness along with P.W. 3 Shivaji who was supposed to be the eye-witness to the incident.They did not support the prosecution case, however, their evidence in the present status also is sufficient to support the prosecution version.Rupali, the other eye-witness has stated that she was playing outside the house of her own and at which time quarrel was going on between Sanjivani and the accused in the house.At that time, she found that her mother was in burnt condition.Similarly, P.W. 3 Shivaji has admitted the fact that he was called by witness Rupali and when he went there at the house of the accused, he saw accused and Sanjivani were quarrelling.In the course of the said quarrel, accused asked her wife to go to her parents' home as he was suspecting her chastity.However Sanjivani refused to go to her parents' home and then she went inside the room.The accused also followed her.While they went inside, the witness smelt of kerosene and hence went inside the room and saw that kerosene was poured on the person of Sanjivani.She was wearing saree and blouse and thereafter the witness came out and Sanjivani shouted loudly that she should be saved.At that time, she was on fire.No doubt, this witness has however turned hostile and stated that he did not see as to how she was set on fire.In spite of this denial, the evidence of witness Rupali and Shivaji has categorically established the fact that accused and Sanjivani were quarrelling inside the house of the accused when accused was insisting that she should go to her parental home and Sanjivani was refusing to do so, at which time Shivaji went inside and saw that kerosene was on the person of Sanjivani.Thereafter she went to the bathroom shouting that she should be saved and at which time she was found in flames.This scenario testified by witness Rupali and Shivaji, in our view, is sufficient to lend support to the evidence of dying declarations on record and further provides corroboration to that evidence.In the result, the appeal stands dismissed.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"JUDGMENT P.N. Sinha, J.This revisional application under Section 482 of Cr.PC has been preferred by the petitioners for quashing complaint case No. C-661 of 2002 under Sections 419 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code (in short IPC) now pending in the Court of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate (in short CJM), Barasat and the order dated 16.9.02 passed by the learned CJM issuing process against the petitioners and another accused.The aforesaid complaint case was started on the basis of complaint lodged by O.P. No. 2 as complainant in the Court of the learned CJM against these petitioners and another accused.It was the allegation of complainant that on the basis of an advertisement in 'Bartaman' Bengali daily newspaper dated 21.2.99 a marriage negotiation between Pranabesh Bagchi, son of complainant and petitioner No. 2 Mohua Bagchi nee Mukherjee was made and in the newspaper the advertisement was published as 'quick marriage, East Bengal Mukherjee, 20/5'1"" class X standard, really beautiful, expert in household works, father Central Government employee, no objection in business'.During negotiation the petitioner No. 1, father of the bride told that his daughter is Xth standard pass.On the night of 'fulsajya' complainant's son discovered that he has been deceived by the father of the bride who has suppressed about old mental aliment of his daughter which is incurable.After the marriage, it was noticed that accused petitioner No. 2 used to leave her wearing apparels in front of other persons without caring for privacy and she uttered irrelevant talks.During her stay in the matrimonial home the complainant's son tried to have co-habitation with his wife, the accused No. 2, but the attempt failed as right hand of accused No. 2 started trembling abnormally.Accused No. 2 disclosed to the son of complainant that it was due to the result of some kind of disease and doctor advised her that, if she takes regular medicine throughout her life, the disease .would remain under control but would not be cured.Thereafter, the complainant made appointment with Dr. Braja Ghosh, a neurologist for treatment of accused No. 2 and Dr. Ghosh referred the case to a reputed neorophysicist Dr. Narayan Chakraborty.Dr. Chakraborty after examining accused No. 2 declared that she was suffering from mental ailment since her birth.Subsequently, accused No. 2 filed an application under Section 36 of the Special Marriage Act in the Court of the learned Additional District Judge, 6th Court, Alipore.In the matrimonial suit she stated that she read upto class IX standard and she was not class X standard pass.The complainant accordingly lodged the complaint against the accused petitioners and another for the offence of cheating.It appears that the learned CJM by order dated 16.9.02 issued process under Sections 419 and 420 of IPC against the petitioners and another.Thereafter, the petitioners have moved this Court for quashing the proceeding and also for quashing the impugned order passed by the learned Magistrate issuing process against them.Mr. Joymalya Bagchi, learned Advocate for the petitioners contended that a plain reading of the petition of complaint without adding or subtracting anything to it would clearly indicate that there is no element of offence under Sections 419 and 420 of IPC.The complaint discloses that there was no inducement and there was no delivery of property and there was no wrongful loss to the complainant and wrongful gain to the accused persons.There are several inconsistencies in different paragraphs of the complaint.The petitioner No. 2, the daughter-in-law of complainant started a case under Section 498A of IPC against her husband and other in-laws, and thereafter, as a counter blast the complainant instituted the present proceeding.There cannot be any misrepresentation if the bride read upto class IX and not class X. It does not attract any element of cheating.Matter would have been different if the bride i.e. petitioner No. 2 was totally illiterate.The mental incapacity of bride since birth cannot be regarded as suppression and concealment of incurable disease amounting to cheating.The husband, son of complainant has instituted a suit for divorce against petitioner No. 2 on the ground of desertion.If the husband files the suit against the wife on the ground of desertion, the allegation by the husband or her mother regarding cheating, inducement, deception etc. does not arise at all.Before the learned Additional District Judge, 6th Court at Alipore evidence was recorded over the application filed by petitioner No. 2 claiming alimony pendente life and in the said Court the petitioner No. 2 was examined as a witness.If she was suffering from mental disorder and mental incapacity of high degree, the learned Additional District Judge would have noted it in the order sheet or in the deposition sheet.","['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 419 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 417 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 415 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"In the complaint furnished by the complaint Shri R.N. Sharma, he had clearly mentioned about an offence against Deepak Misra, Police, in the formal FIR recorded, has not mentioned in the column No. 3 the offence committed by him, nor his name is mentioned in Column No. 5, which shows the name and address of the criminal.ORDER R.S. Sodhi, J.The petitioner by this petition, under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, has challenged the order No. 14036/15/94/- UTS dated 8th April, 1997, passed by the respondent refusing sanction for prosecution of Mr. Deepak Misra, DCP, for offence under Section 218 of the Indian Penal Code.The petitioner has challenged the legality and validity of the order on the ground that the same was passed without considering material facts on record, is non-speaking, arbitrary, unreasonable, mechanical, passed in total non-application of mind and is a fraud of power/colorable exercise of power/abuse of power and has been made with the obvious intention of shielding a senior IPS officer.The facts leading to the case are that Aditya Naraian succumbed to his injuries on 14th October, 1990, on receiving a fire arm injury at the hands of SI.D.P. Singh of Delhi Police in the incident of 25th September, 1990, when residents of Sarojini Nagar were demonstrating against the implementa- tion of the Mandal Commission report.On 1st October, 1990, the petitioner filed a complaint with SHO, Vinay Nagar Police Station to investigate the incident of shooting in Sarojini Nagar area which had caused death of his son.It is the case of the petitioner that the newspaper reported the filing of a public interest petition being Civil Writ Petition No. 3393 of 1990 (P.V. Kapur and another Vs.Union of India) in the Delhi High Court for adjudication upon action of police firing in INA Market and Sarojini Nagar.The petitioner, therefore, with leave of the court, filed an affidavit narrating the incident which took place on 25th September, 1990, at Sarojini Nagar and sought various reliefs from the court including that criminal proceedings be initiated against those police officers found responsible for the death of his son.In the meantime, however,the petitioner sought an appointment with the commissioner, Delhi police, to look into the matter, upon which, the com- missioner directed Mr. Deepak Misra, the then Additional DCP (south) to conduct a formal investigation into the incident of shooting that took place at Sarojini Nagar on 25th September, 1990, and to submit a report.Deepak Misra examined various witnesses during the course of his inquiry and identified the police officer who fired the shot but was of the opinion that :""However, it is a sheer tragedy and most unfortunate that this bullet which was fired presumably in the air and in which no mala fide happened to have taken place, the bullet took an awry trajectory and had hit Aditya Narayan who was very much present at the inter-face of police and violent mob...""""..Hence, to sum up, the immediate cause of death of Aditya Narain was due to the infection which was contracted by him during post-operation period.This infection contracted by him was in itself an effect caused by the bullet shot by SI D.P. Singh from his service revolver and SI.D.P. Singh had to resort to open fire from his service revolver to disperse an unlawful assembly... SI.D.P. Singh had, to the best of his judgment, opened fire in the air but, as ill-luck would have been, the bullet in its dying moments happened to graze through skull of Aditya Narain who was a part of unlawful assembly near the over- turned water tanker at Navyug School crossing.""This inquiry report became subject matter of Civil Writ Petition No. 3393 of 1990 wherein the High Court by judgment and order dated 6th Septem- ber, 1990, held that ""The application is disposed of in the aforesaid terms.""The petitioner filed a complaint dated 7th June, 1992, with the SHO, Vinay Nagar Police Station requesting for registration of an FIR under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code against SI D.P. Singh and under Sec- tion 218 of the Indian Penal Code against DCP, Deepak Misra.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 190 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 193 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304A in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(2) The prosecution case is that Maya Devi, who was aged about 19 at the time of the present occurrence, was the daughter of Raj Kumari (Public Witness 1) who was aged about 45 years.Both the mother and daughter had taken to the profession of dancing and singing, and used to live in an apartment on G. B. Road, Delhi.The accused used to visit Maya Devi and had illicit connections with her.(3) On August 14, 1967 at about 6 a. m., it is stated, Maya Devi was lying on a cot along with her son, aged about one month.Raj Kumari was at that time lying on another cot in the room.Babu alias Amar Deep, an employee of Raj Kumari, was sitting in a room near the staircase.Raj Kumari's maternal uncle, Kishori Lal, her cousin.Rattan and Ashok, and her mother, Radha (also known as Tara or Ilaichi) were in the verandah.The accused then came there holding jug P. 1 and bottle P. 2 The accused gave Re 1.00 to Babu for bringing tea whereupon Babu left.The accused then poured acid out of the jug on Maya Devi, her son and Raj Kumari.He also remarked that they would be disfigured.Raj Kumari and Maya Devi felt burning sensation and they all started crying.The accused then threw the jug on the cot and placed the bottle on the ground and ran away.Kishori Lal, who saw the incident, as well as Radha then came inside the room and took Maya Devi, her mother and son towards the City Clinic.While going down they met Babu and told him about the occurrence.Raj Kumari, Maya Devi and her son Along with others arrived at the City Clinic, Asaf Ali Road, New Delhi, a private hospital, at about 6 -30 a. m. They were examined by Dr. V. K. Jain.The doctor found that there were a few streaks and patches of acid burns on the person of Raj Kumari on the right arm and forearm.He dressed the burns and discharged her with the direction to attend for dressing as an outdoor patient.Acid burns were also found by the doctor on the scalp of the infant child of Maya Devi.Maya Devi had extensive injuries on her person.She was given Morphia and her burns were dressed, and intravenous drip was started.Maya Devi remained in the City Clinic up to August 21, 1967, on which day she was transferred to Safdarjang Hospital.Maya Devi was then not in a position to give a statement.The Assistant Sub-Inspector then went to the place of occurrence and recorded the statements of witnesses.He also prepared the site plan and got the place of occurrence photographed.Various articles lying there, including jug P.I and bottle P.2 which was half full of acid, were taken into possession by the Assistant Sub-Inspector, and put into sealed parcels.After that, the Assistant Sub-Inspector went to the City Clinic and made an application P. F. F. on which Dr. Jain made an endorsement that Maya Devi was not fit to make a statement.This was not liked by him.He wanted to take me forcibly to his house.JUDGMENT H.R. Khanna, C.J.(1) This is an appeal by Sudershan Kumar alias Darshan, aged 25, who has been convicted by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Delhi, under Section 302, Indian Penal Code, f causing the death of Maya Devi by pouring acid on her and has been sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life.The accused has also been convicted under Section 324, Indian Penal Code, for causing injuries to Public Witness Raj Kumari and the infant son of Maya Devi by throwing acid on them, and has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of two years.Both the sentences have been ordered to run concurrently.The accused wanted Maya Devi to marry him but she declined to do so as the accused was already married to another woman.On account of the above refusal of Maya Devi, the accused used to quarrel with her.A few days before the present occurrence, the accused took Maya Devi along with him.She stayed with him for about 10 or 12 days and thereafter was brought back by the accused to her mother's apartment.The accused on that occasion again asked Maya Devi to marry him but she refused to do so.The accused then threatened Maya Devi that if she did not want to marry him she should either leave Delhi or he would kill her in such a manner that she would have a lingering death.The Assistant Sub-Inspector then searched for the accused but could not trace him.The accused was arrested by Asi Rattan Chand Kalia on August 15, 1967, from the zoo on Mathura Road.The offence for which the accused was arrested at that time was under Section 326, Indian Penal Code, and he was bailed out.(5) On August 16, 1967, Asi Surjit Singh went to the City Clinic and made an application P. F/2 for recording the statement of Maya Devi.Dr. V. K. Jain then made an endorsement on that application permitting the recording of Maya Devi's statement.The Assistant Sub-Inspector then recorded statement P. G. of Maya Devi wherein she named the accused as the person who has thrown acid on her, her mother and son on 14th morning.The statement was recorded in the presence of Dr. Jain.Accordingly, on August 21, 1967, Maya Devi was got admitted in the Safdarjang Hospital at about 9 p.m. Maya Devi was attended to in that hospital by Dr. K. S. Raj Kumar (Public Witness 6), House Surgeon, and Dr. (Miss) Nirmala Lakshmi Naranan (Public Witness 7), Registrar.On August 23, 1967, Shri V. N. Chaturvedi, Sub-divisional Magistrate, Hauz Qazi, on an application having been made to him by Asi Surjit Singh for the purpose, went to Safdarjang Hospital and recorded the statement P. C. C. of Maya Devi.The statement was read over to her.She admitted it to be correct and thumb-marked the statement as well as signed it in English.Asi Surjit Singh, on receipt of the information about the death of Maya Devi, went to Safdarjang Hospital and prepared inquest report P. D. The dead body was then sent to the mortuary.Post-mortem examination on the dead body of Maya Devi was performed by Dr. S. S. Kaushal (Public Witness ll) on August 26, 1967, at 6 p.m. Sealed parcels of the different articles taken into possession by the police were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory, Chandigarh, where they were examined by Shri Sirinivas Rampal (Public Witness 16).Shri Rampal found that bottle P.2 contained nitric acid.The clothes of the deceased were also found stained with nitric acid.The presence of the acid in jug P.I could not be detected.The provision of law, under which the case had been registered against the accused, was changed from Section 326 to 304, Indian Penal Code, on August 26, 1967, and Section 302, Indian Penal Code, on September 4, 1967, after the case had been checked by the Prosecuting Deputy Superintendent of Police.(8) The accused in his statement under Section 342, Criminal Procedure Code, admitted that Maya Devi was daughter of Raj Kumari and that he used to visit her.The accused, however, denied that he wanted to marry Maya Devi and that she was not agreeable to that.According to the accused, Maya Devi was living with him as his wife without formal marriage and the question of marriage did not arise at all.The accused admitted that he was married to another women.It was denied by the accused that there had been any quarrel between him and Maya Devi on account of her alleged refusal to marry him.The accused denied that he ever threatened Maya Devi that he would kill her in such a manner that she would have to die in agony.The prosecution allegations about the accused having gone to the house of Maya Devi on the morning of August 14, 1967, with a jug and bottle of acid, and about his having asked Babu alias Amar Deep to bring tea or about his having poured nitric acid on Maya Devi her mother and child, were all denied.The accused also denied having purchased any acid.As regards his arrest, the accused stated that he himself went to police-station Kamla Market on August 15, 1967, when he was put under arrest.According further to the accused, the prosecution witnesses were interested and were deposing against him at the instance of the police.The accused further stated:""I have been falsely implicated.Maya Devi was an educated lady.I am also educated up to Prep.Maya Devi liked me and she did not like to embrace the profession of singing and dancing and her mother used to compel her and wanted her to enter that profession.Maya Devi did not like this.Therefore, her mother was against her.Maya Devi was living with me since January, 1967 and I had been getting her treated in the hospital.She gave birth to a son at my place.Three days before the occurrence she came to see her mother when acid was thrown on her.So far I have come to know her mother threw acid.""(9) In defense one witness, Rajinder Kumar, was examined.According to Rajinder Kumar, he used to visit the house of Raj Kumari to listen to her songs.Maya Devi did not sing or dance in spite of having been asked by Raj Kumari and used to sit in an adjoining room.The witness added that he went to City Clinic on the morning of August 14, 1967, after coming to know of the present occurrence.Maya Devi then told the witness that her mother had thrown acid on her.The witness also identified the handwriting of Maya Devi on letter D. G. According to that letter, Maya Devi had left her mother's house because she was in love with the accused and his visits used to result in quarrel between her mother and the accused.It was also added that Maya Devi did not like the life of a singing girl and whatever she had written in that letter was of her own free-will and not under pressure of the accused.(10) Learned Additional Sessions Judge accepted the prosecution case about the accused having caused the death of Maya Devi by throwing acid on her and about his having caused injuries to Maya Devi's mother and son.The defense evidence of Rajinder Kumar was disbelieved.As regards letter D. G. it was held that it had not come from proper custody and was a fabricated document.The accused was, accordingly, convicted and sentenced as above.(11) There can be no manner of doubt that Maya Devi died on August 26, 1967, in Safdarjang Hospital.This fact is also admitted by the accused in his statement under Section 342 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.According to the prosecution case, the accused poured acid on Maya Devi and her mother and child on the morning of August 14, 1967 as a result of which Maya Devi died and her mother and child received injuries.The accused has denied this allegation.It has also been argued on behalf of the accused that even if it be held to be proved that he poured acid on Maya Devi, the said act of the accused cannot be held to be the proximate cause of her death.The dying declaration reads as under:-""I and my mother do the profession of singing and dancing at G. B. Road.Shri Sudershan Kumar alias Darshan had illicit relations with me.He used to take me outside.For some days past, I and my mother had stopped him from taking me outside.On 14th August, 1967, in the morning when I got up I saw Shri Sudershan Kumar holding a jug in his hand and a bottle of acid in his other hand.Jug had acid in it.He threw it on my face and body.The acid also fell on my mother who was lying in the adjoining charpoy.A drop of it also fell on my son.The reason why Darshan has thrown acid on me is that I was not prepared to go with him as desired by him.He used to threaten me quite often, that either I (Maya Devi) should leave Delhi or I should marry him, other wise he would disfigure me and would throw acid on me.But I did not lodge the report considering that he was talking noneense just that way.This acid has fallen on my chest, back arms.This instance has been seen by my mother, servant Amar, Ashok Kumar, Rattan and Kishori Lal and other women.Shri Sudarshan ran away after throwing the acid.I am making this complaint against Sudarshan Kumar"".(13) The evidence of Dr. V. K. Jain shows that Maya Devi was in a fit condition to make a statement at that time and that the above statement was recorded in his presence.According to the doctor, the statement was then read over to Maya Devi.She admitted it to be correct.To similar effect is the evidence of Asi Surjit Singh.According to Asi Surjit Singh, Maya Devi, after making the statement, signed it in English.Dr. Jain also then made an endorsement P.G./1 about the statement having been made by Maya Devi in his presence and about her having signed it after it was read over to her.There appears to be no cogent ground whatsoever to disbelieve the evidence of Dr. V. K. Jain and Asi Surjit Singh in this respect.(14) Apart from the dying declaration P. G. of Maya Devi, which was recorded by Asi Surjit Singh, we have on record the evidence of Shri V. N. Chaturvedi, Sub-divisional Magistrate (Public Witness 17), that he recorded the statement P.C.C. of Maya Devi on August 23, 1967 at 5 .20 p.m. in Safdarjang Hospital.The statement reads as under:-""I and my mother are doing the profession of dancing and singing at G. B. Road.Darshan Kumar had illicit relations with me.For some days past my mother had stopped him.This was not liked by him.On 14th August, 1967, I got up in the morning at about 6.00 a. m. I saw Darshan holding a jug in his hand and in the other a bottle.The jug had acid in it.He threw it on my face and the body.This also fell on my mother who was lying on the adjoining charpoy.A drop also fell on my son.This occurrence has been seen by my mother, servant Amar, Ashok Kumar, Kishori Lal and other women.""(15) Shri Chaturvedi has deposed that Maya Devi was in a fit condition to make the statement.The statement was read over to her.She admitted it to be correct and thumb-marked the same.In addition to the thumb-impression of Maya Devi, the witness also obtained her signatures on the statement.There is no sufficient reason to disbelieve the above statement of Shri Chaturvedi.The fact that he did not get the signatures of any doctor on the statement P.C.C. would not detract from his testimony.Shri Chaturvedi had no animus against the accused and we fail to understand as to why he should have recorded the statement P. C. C. if in fact it was not made to him by Maya Devi.(16) According to the version of the accused, it was Raj Kumari who threw acid on Maya Devi.It is, in our opinion, extremely difficult to believe that Maya Devi would spare her real assailant and falsely mention the name of the accused as the person who had thrown acid on her.It also does not appeal to reason that Raj Kumari would throw acid on Maya Devi, who was her own daughter, especially when the throwing of acid was bound to result in disfiguring of Maya Devi and thus rendering her unfit for the profession of dancing and singing.It is also difficult to believe that Raj Kumari would have taken Maya Devi to the hospital for her treatment and thereafter lodged a report about the present occurrence at the police-station, if she herself had thrown acid on her.(17) The dying declarations of Maya Devi about the accused having thrown acid on her, her mother and child are corroborated by the evidence of Raj Kumari (Public Witness 1).There can be no manner of doubt regarding Raj Kumari's presence at the scene of occurrence, because she was herself injured as a result of the acid poured by the accused.According to Raj Kumari, it was the accused who poured acid on Maya Devi and also caused injuries thereby to Raj Kumari and the infant child of Maya Devi.There seems to be no cogent ground to disbelieve Raj Kumari in this respect.Raj Kumari also lodged first information report P.A. about the occurrence soon after her dressing and in it the name of the accused as the person who had caused injuries by pouring acid to Maya Devi and others was mentioned.First information report P.A. also lends corroboration to the statement of Raj Kumari.In addition to the above, we have the evidence of Kishori Lal (PW12) who has deposed evidence about the accused having thrown acid on Raj Kumari, Maya Devi and the child and about his having thereafter run away.Nothing cogent has been brought to our notice as might discredit the statement of Kishori Lal.(18) The prosecution has also examined Babu alias Amar Deep (PW2).After this witness had been cross-examined by the defense counsel, this witness was declared hostile by the trial Court and questions in the nature of cross-examination were allowed to be put to him by the Public Prosecutor.The defense counsel then made a request that he might be allowed to further cross-examine the witness.This request was disallowed by the trial Court.As we were of the opinion that the defense counsel should have been granted an opportunity to further cross-examine the witness, we recalled the witness so that further questions may be put to him by the defense counsel.In this respect we find that according to the testimony of Dr. V. K. Jain, he found the following injuries on Maya Devi when he examined her at 6 -30 a.m. on August 14, 1967:-""1.She was a well-built woman.Her pulse was 100 per minute.There were burns on the face; the whole face with lips and conjunctive Cornea of both the eyes was opaque.Both ears were burnt.Otherwise, she could not see, because cornea of both eyes was opaque.Neck : Complete neck burns on both interior and posterior aspects.Thorax : Burns up to the breasts.Breasts were involved.Trickle of fluid on to the abdomen and chest as well, causing burns in streaks.That trickle of fluid was there but I cannot say if it was acid.It could be acid.Back : Burns approximately up to T-4 level.That means the burns were up to the forth vertebra of the back and then lower down two to three streaks of burns as if caused by liquid trickling down.That liquid could be acid.Limbs : (Upper limbs).Both upper limbs burnt in patches and streaks up to the fingers and palms.(Lower limb) Isolated burns on the knee and thigh, in streaks only.""(21) The duration of the above injuries was fresh, within one to two hours.The injuries could have been caused by acid.According to Dr. Jain, the injuries suffered by Maya Devi were sufficient collectively in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.(22) Dr. K. S. Raj Kumar, House Surgeon of Safdarjang Hospital, examined Maya Devi when she was admitted in that hospital and found her condition as under:-""1.Her both eyes were open and cornea was hazy and opaque.She was of average built and nutrition.Her general condition was poor, the tongue was thickly coated and dried.She was drowsy, and was responding to the surroundings poorly.There was no anaemia, cyanosis and glands.Local examination showed that there was 35% burnt area over her face, neck, back, arms and chest, and they were badly infected.Foul smell was present.The dressing was soaked with pus.""(23) The systematic examination revealed no abnormality.Dr. Kumar added that if the burns are to the extent of 30% or above, the same are dangerous to life and that the injuries of Maya Devi were dangerous to life.(24) Dr. (Miss) Nirmala Lakshmi Naranan (Public Witness 7) has deposed that the dressing of Maya Devi was changed on August 23,1967 and that at that time the doctor removed the loose slough from her body.(25) Dr. S. S. Kaushal, who performed post-mortem examination, made the following observations on the dead body:-""SUPERFICIAL ulceration with seropurulent discharge and pus all over face, front of the chest, back and both upper limbs.Skin on the forehead was blackened.Scalp hair cut short.No smell of kerosene oil.Both lungs were edematous and exude froth on section.Liver was congested.Both kidneys showed cloudy swelling.Stomach empty.Mucus membrane congested.Stomach contained 2 ounces of medicine like fluid.Uterus was empty, normal but deeply congested.Other parts including skull brain were normal.""As stated above, the medical evidence shows that 35% of the body surface of Maya Devi was burnt as a result of injuries received by her.According to observations on page 196 of Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology by Modi, Sixteenth Edition, the involvement of one-third to one-half of the superficial surface of the body is likely to end fatally.It is also significant that the injuries received by Maya Devi as a result of the assault on her were on most vital parts of her body like the face, neck and breast.(27) Learned counsel for the appellant has referred to the statement of Dr. (Miss) Nirmala Lakshmi Naranan wherein she has deposed that the cause of death of Maya Devi was malaena and respiratory failures.In the present case, as stated above, according to Dr. Jain, the injuries caused to Maya Devi were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.To similar effect is the statement of Dr. Raj Kumar.It is further corroborated by the testimony of Dr. Kaushal.There is nothing in the statement of Dr. Naranan that the injuries suffered by Maya Devi were not sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.On the contrary her evidence shows that general condition of Maya Devi was very poor.The material on the record shows that Maya Devi was at first treated in the City Clinic and as there was not much improvement in her condition she had to be removed to the Burns Unit of the Safdarjang Hospital.There is nothing cogent to warrant a finding that Maya Devi did not have proper treatment.Apart from the above, we are of the opinion that the Explanation 2 to Section 299 of the Indian Penal Code affords an answer to the above contention.The Explanation reads as under:-The burns were of a simple nature.The medical evidence on death was contradictory.In this respect we find that the evidence of Raj Kumari shows that the accused had earlier threatened Maya Devi that if she did not marry him or leave Delhi, he would kill her in such a manner that she would have a lingering death.According to the dying declaration P.C.C. of Maya Devi the accused had threatened to kill or disfigure her with acid.Bottle P.2 taken into possession by the police, was half full of acid and it appears that the accused had poured the remaining half of the acid on Maya Devi.","['Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 320 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 299 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"However, the complainant's case was that certain examination was to be held for recruitment of some categories of employees for the bank and the two accused persons settled with him that they would get his nephew appointed provided he paid them Rs. 10,000/- of which Rs. 2,000/- were paid by way of first instalment.The examination was held.The revision, fails.A large number of candidates were called for interview and after a long time first 19 persons were appointed as managers and then 42 others on some other posts but the complainant's nephew did not figure in the lists.It was further alleged that the accused persons had tampered with the papers, mark-sheets and other examination records in fur- therance of their conspiracy to earn money from the candidates.","['Section 5 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

E., a copy of an entry in the family register of the said Panchayat.The said entry was the date of birth of Shanta, which was shown as 12-4-2008 Bk.In his cross-examination, he stated that the family register maintained by the Panchayat previously gto burnt when the Panchayatghar (office) was destroyed by fire in 1959, and that the present register was prepared thereafter.He further stated in crossexamination that the entry in question was made by him in his own hand at the instance of Shaligram, the father of Shanta, that no horoscope was produced before him when the entry was made, but that her date of birth was orally conveyed to him by her fathar, Shaligram, from his memory.In view of the circumstance that the original regist' r maintained by the Panchayat was destroyed by fire, and the circumstance that the date of birth was subsequently entered in the new register on the information given by Shaligram from his memory, it is safer to exclude this entry in considering the question as to the age of Shanta.As already stated above, the toher evidence regarding her age shows, in my opinion, that she was under 16 years of age at the time of the occurrence.(6) On the above finding, the next question for determination is as to whether the appellant herein had sexual intercourse with Shanta with or without her consent, and whether there was ""penetration"" sufficient to constitute sexual intercourse within the meaning of section 375 of the Indian Penal Code.P. W. 1, Shanta, stated in her evidence that about one year and 4 months prior to the date of her deposition, she was grazing her cattle in Katoch Kiar, that she was alone at that time, that the accused, Shiam Singh. came from behind her, caught hold of her and put her on his lap, and carried her to some distance to a wall of stone, and that there he took off her trousers and also removed his own trousers, put her on the ground, and put his male organ into her sexual organ.She further stated that she raised hue and cry when the accused did that to her, that Public Witness 4, Shawala Nand, on hearing her cry, shouted as to what the accused was doing, and thereupon the accused ranaway, and that, in the meanwhile, her mtoher also came to the scene of occurrence, and took her to their Dohgri by holding her arm.It had to be ntoed here that Shanta could nto identify the accused in an identification parade, but purported to identify the accused in the court at the time of her giving evidence.(7) In cross-examination, she stated that she saw P. W. 4, Shawala Nand, and P. W. 5, Keshru, only at the time when she was crying for help and nto prior to that, that her mtoher was the first person to go to her after the incident, that Shawala Nand and Keshru at that time ran after the accased, that when the said Shawala Nand and Keshru were chasing the accused, her mtoher had pulled her up from the ground where the accused raped her, that When her mtoher came on the spto she was still without the pyjama, which she put on with the help of her mtoher, and that when Shawala Nand and, Keshru came back to the place, she had already put on her pyjama.She further stated in her cross-examination that she saw Shawala Nand when he shouted at the accused, that Shawala.Nand was at about 50 feet from the place of occurrence when he shouted at the accused, that at that time her mtoher was working in a field nearby, that Keshru did nto shout at the time when the incident took place and she did nto see Keshru until he came to the place of occurrence, that when Shawala Nand shouted at the accused, the accused Was lying; upon her body, that when.the accused was upon her body, her feet were towards the side from which Shawala Nand was coming, that she did nto see the sexual organ of the accused when he inserted it into her sexual organ as he hid put his body upon her before he inserted his sexual organ into her private part, that When the nurse at Chirgaob examined her, she (the nurse) did nto touch her sexaal organ at all nor did she apply any medicine to it, that she did nto tell the nurse at that time that she was feeling pain in her sexual orgin as a result of the rape, that the medical officer at Rohru had inserted his finger into her sexual organ when he examined her, that she felt pain when the medical officer at Rohru inserted his finger into her sexual organ and she was nto feeling any pain in her sexual organ up to the time the medical officer at Rohru inserted his finger, thathe accused raped her for a very little while, and that she had been married to one Inder Sain, son of Sunder Singh, resident of Tikkri, prior to the date of the incident.P. W. 2, Shaligram, the father of Shanta, stated in his evidence that on the date of the incident he had gone to extinguish fire in the jungle and returned home in the evening, that his wife told him that Shanta had been raped, that on further enquiry his wife told him that the accused present in the Court had raped her, that his daughter was at that time at his Dohgri, that he thereafter went to his Dohgri and enquired from Shanta as to what had happened, that Shanta told him that she had been raped while grazing cattle by a person nto known to her, and that he thereafter took her to Rohru where she was medically examined.In cross-examination, he stated that while coming to Rohru he and Shanta had stayed at Chirgaon for the night, and he gto Shanta examined by a nurse at Chirgaon on that night, and that Shawala Nand was present at his Dohgri when he went there, and before he left for Rohru with Shanta, he was told by Shawala Nand at his Dohgri that it was the accused who committed rape upon Shanta.P. W. 4, Shawala Nand, stated in his evidence that one year and 4 months prior to the date of his evidence he was grazing cattle in Katoch Kiar, that it was just afternoon when he heard hue and cry of Shanta and ran towards her, that when he went near her he saw that Shanta was lying on the ground near a stone wall and the accused was lying upon her body, that he shouted at the accused as to who he was who was spoiling the girl, that when the girl, Shanta, was lying on the ground and the accused was lying on her, the pyjamas of buth had been stripped down, that upon hearing his shouts, tl:e accused left the body of the girl, Shanta, and ran away, that he chased the accused and caught hold of him while he Was running away, that the accused, however, gto himself freed and gave him a push as a result of which he fell down on the ground, that I e had known the accused since his childhood as the accused belonged to his panchayat circle, that at that time Keshru was also grazing his cattle near there and he also saw the accused running away from the scene of occurrence, that when he came back to the place of occurrence after chasing the accused, Shanta had already been helped to stand up by her mtoher, Ranpati, who had in the meanwhile come on the scene of occurrence, that he had told Ranpati and Keshru that it was tl.e accused who raped Shanta, that he did nto tell anybody else tl at accused Shiam Singh, was tl e culprit, and that the girl Shanta was at that time crying end was senseless.In cross-examination, he stated that Shanta was distantly related to him as grand-daughter, that he knew that the accused, Shiam Singh, was at one time an employee in the Police Department, that he saw the accused and Shanta in a lying position as soon as he heard the hue and cry of Shanta, that when he heard the cries of Shanta, he was at a distance of about 200 feet from the place of occurrence, that he had come running half the distance towards Shanta when the accused bolted away, that the accused remained on the body of Shanta for a lesser time than what would take to smoke out one cigarette, that when he heard the cries of Shanta he says that the accused was lying upon the body of Shanta as a result of which the accused had covered her whole body, that the legs of Shanta were also at that time under the body of the accused, and that the knees of the accused at that time were upon the ground and the legs of Shanta were in between the legs of the accused.He further stated in cross-examination that when he was chasing the accused, Keshru also was running behind him and asking him to catch hold of the accused, that Keshru was about 30 feet behind him, that when he gave up the chase and came back, Keshru also came back with him, that after giving up the chase, he and Keshru did nto go to Shanta and Ranpati who were standing at the wall, but that he went to his own cattle while Keshru went to his sheep, and that he told Ranpati at that time from a distance of about 20 feet that it was the accused who raped the girl Shanta.P. W. 5, Keshru, stated in his evidence that one year and 4 months prior to the date of his deposition, he was grazing his sheep at Katoch Kiar, that at about 3 p. m., he heard hue and cry of a girl, that at that time he was with his sheep upon a hillock, and from there he saw that the girl who was crying was lying underneath the body of a male that he knew the girl Shanta, and the accused, who were- buth present in the Court, that on hearing the hue and cry he started running down the hillock towards the scene of occurrence and also shouted at the accused while running down as to who he was, that he had run down for about 30 feet when he saw that the accused left the body of Shanta and started running, that he also saw at that time that Shawla Nand was also chasing the accused, that Shawala Nand, while chasing the accused, caught hold of him by the sholder, but the accused, however, gto himself freed and give a push to Shawala Nand as a result of which Shawala.Nand fell on the ground while the accused made good his escape, that he and Shawala Nand still chased the accused for some distance, but in vain, that they buth gave up the chase and went back to the place of occurrence, that in the meantime the mtoher of Shanta had Come to the place of occurrence, carried Shanta upon her back, and took her to their Dohgri, and that Shawala Nand than went to his cattle and he went to his sheep.In cross-examination, he stated that on their return after the chase, neither he nor Shawala Nand had any talk with Ranpati as she was crying while Shanta was senseless, that he did nto recognise the accused at the time when he starts coming down the hill to catch hold of the accased, but that he, however, recognised the accused when he came near the accused, as he and the accused belonged to the same panchayat circle, that Shawala Nand also told him the nameof the accused at that time, that he saw for the first timeShanta and the accused in a lying position from a distance of about 200 feet, that he recognised Shanta as soon as he heard her cries, but he could nto see Shanta when she was shouting as she was entirely covered by the body of the accased and was under his chest, but could only see her feet, that he could nto say as to what the accused was doing to Shanta when he was lying upon her body, and that as he shouted from the hillock, the accused look towards him while lying up in the body of Shanta.P. W. 6, Ranpati, the mtoher of Shanta.. stated in her evidence that one year 4 months prior to the date of her deposition, her husband had gone to put off some fire in a jungle near their village, that her daughter.Shanta had gone to graze cattle in the Katoch Kiar, that it was in the afternoon that she heard the cries of Shanta when-she (Ranpati) was working in her field, that she ran towards Shanta, that when she reached the scene of occurrence she found that her daughter was lying beside a stone wall, her pyjama had been stripped down to her knees, while the front part of her shirt had been folded upwards, and she was weepping.that she (Ranpati) also saw that Shawala Nand was chasing a man, that Shanta told her that the man who was being chased by Shawala Nand had raped her, that she tied the string of the pyjama of Shanta, helped her to stand up, and then took her to their Dohgri by holding Shanta's arm while Shanta was walking on foto, that after leaving Shanta at their Dohgri, she went to her house in the village Tikkri, where she met her husband, Shaligram, and conveyed to him the incident as narrated to her by her daughter, and that thereafter her husband.Shaligram, went to their Dohgri.In cross-examination, she stated that Shanta had been married to one Inder Sain, prior to the incident, that she was working in her field at a distance of 150 feet from the place of occurrence when she heard the cries of Shanta, that she did nto know the accused prior to the date of the incident, and that it was Shawala Nand who told her the name of the accused at the time of the incident as the culprit of the offence, (8) Thus, according to the evidence of the witnesses mentioned above, the scene of occurrence was ""Katoch Kiar"", the girl Shanta was grazing her cattle in that place all alone, Shawala Nand was at that time grazing his cattle up the hill at a distance of about 200 feet, while the girl's mtoher, Ranpiti, was working in a field about 150 feet away, and Keshru was also grazing his sheep on a hillock nearby about 200 feet from the place of the alleged incident.Shawala Nand and Keshru heard the shouts of the girl, Shanta.and they saw that the girl was shouting from underneath the body of the accused that Shanta was lying upon.her back by the side of a wall while the accused was lying upon her, and that his body had covered the entire body of Shanta, and only her feet were visible from underneath the body of the accused, and were in between the legs of the accused.The pyjamas of buth the appellant and the girl were stripped down to their respective khees.Shawala Nand shouted at the accused, and the acceased then left the body of Shanta put on his pyjama which he had stripped down to his knees and ran away.Shawala Nand and Keshru started chasing the accused, and they saw Shanta lying near the wall with her pyjama stripped down to her knees, the mtoher, Ranoati, also saw Shanta in that situation when she came there after hearing her daughter's cries.The mtoher then helped Shanta to stand up and tie the string of her pyjama.According to the said evidence, the girl told her mtoher that she had been raped by the person who was being chased by Shawala Nand and Keshru, but who was nto known to her at that time.The girl also gave the same version to her father, when he met her at their Dohgri.(9) In his statement under section 342 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the appellant stated that he did nto know anything about the alleged grazing of her cattle in Katoch Kiar by Shanta about one year and 4 months prior to the date of his statement, that he did nto know of any Katoch Kiar near Tikkri village, and that he did nto know Shanta at that time.He denied the entire prosecution case, and stated that he did nto know anything about the alleged rape upon Shanti, and that he neither raped her nor knew the age of the girl.He, however, stated that Shawala Nand and Keshru were known to him one year and 4 months prior to the date of his' statement as the said Shawala Nand and Keshru and himself belonged to villages which were at a distance of 2 miles from each toher.To a question put by the court as to whether he had anything to say as to why the prosecution witnesses were deposing against him, he answered as follows :- ""THEvillagers of Tikkri including P. Ws.Shawala Nand, Shalig- ram, Kes'hru, Smt. Ranpati are inimical to me on account of the fact that during the communal ritos 1947 the villagers of Tikkri had killed the brtoher of one Gicha Shaikh and his family consisting of Ii members and thereafter had misappropriated his property.I was at that time serving in the Police as Constable posted in the Rohru Police Station and had accompanied the S.H.O. Rohru to village Tikkri at that time for investigation during which the whole of the property of the Gujjar was recovered from the villagers of Tikkri.""(11) On the question as to whether the appellant herein had sexual intercourse with Shanta with or without her consent, and whether there was ""penetration"" sufficient to constitute sexual intercourse within the meaning of section 375 of the Indian Penal Code.So far as the evidence of the prose- cuterix, Shanta, is concerned, it can be accepts d only to the extent to which it is corroborated by the toher evidence in the case.Shri Thakur pointed out firstly that Shanta admitted in her evidence that she did nto know the appellant at the time of the occurrence, and she could nto identify the appellant in the identification parade.As regards the identification of the appellant, the evidence was only that of P. W. 4, Shawala Nand and P. W. 5, Keshru.Shri Thakur submitted that the evidence of the said two witnesses should nto be believed in view of the enemity between them and the appellant which was mentioned by the appellant in his examination under section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code.It is true that the appellant stated that Shawala Nand, Shaligram, Keshru and Smt. Ranpati were inimical to him on account of the circumstance that during the communal ritos in 1947, the villagers ol Tilkii had killed the brtoher of one Gicha Shaikh and his family and had also misappropriated his property, that at that time the appellant was posted as police Constable in the Rohru Police Station and had accompanied the Station House Officer, Rohru, to the village Tikkri at that time for investigation, and that during the said investigation the whole of the' property of the Gujjar (the brtoher of Gicha Shaikh) was recovered from the villagers of Tikkri.But, the said suggestion by the appellant is, in my opinion, a far fetchtd one.The alleged investigation and recovery was nearly 19 years prior to the occurrence in question.It is difficult to believe that after such a lapse of time, the 4 persons mentioned above, viz. Shawala Nand, Shaligram, Keshru and Smt. Ranpati, took it into their minds to take a revenge upon the accused for the first time in 1966 and gave false evidence against him.No such suggestion was made to Shaligram, Smt. Ranpati or Keshrn in their cross-examination.The said suggestion was made to Shawala Nand in cross-examination, but he denied the same slating that he was nto arrested in 1947 on account of Hindu-Muslim ritos or for murdering Gujjars, and that his property was nto confiscated at that time by the police.In the circumstances, the statement of the appellant that Shawala Nand and Keshru were inimically disposed towards him cannto be accepted.It is also true that the appellant stated that the case was foisted upon him at the instance of one Nehar Singh, who, according to the appellant, was having a grouse against him on account of the acceptance of the appellant's bid in an auction in respect of a land as against the bid of the said Nehar Singh.The appellant, however, did nto state as to whether the witnesses in question were under the influence of Nehar Singh.No such suggestion was even made to the said witnesses, Shawala Nand and Keshru, in their cross-examination.t cannto therefore, be said that the evidence of Shawala Nand and Keshru should nto be believed for the aforesaid reasons, buth Shawala Nand and Keshru deposed that it was the appellant who committed the offence in question upon Shanta on the relevant date.It has, therefore to be held that the identity of the appellant is established hy the evidence of Shawala Nand and Keshru.(12) Shri Thakur referred to the following discrepancies in the evidence of Shawala Nand and Keshru, and submitted that their evidence should nto be believed in view of the said discrepancies.The discrepancies in the evidence of P. W. 4, Shawala Nand, according to him, are :-(A)Shawala Nand stated in his evidence that when he came back to the place of occurrence after chasing the accused (appellant), he had told Smt. Ranpati and Keshru that it was the accused who raped Shanta, and that he did nto tell anybody else that Shiam Singh, accused, was the culprit.On the toher hand, according to P. W. 2, Shaligram, he also was told by Shawala Nand at the Dohgn of Shaligram that it was the accused (appellant herein) who committed rape upon Shanta.(B)In the Chief Examination, Shawala Nand stated that he heard the hue and cry of Smt. Shanta, that he ran towards her, that when he went near her, he saw that Shanta was lying on the ground and the accused was lying upon her body, and that when the gii I was lying on the ground and the accused was lying on her, the pyjamas of buth had been stripped down, while in his cross-examination, he stated :- ""It is correct that I saw Shanta only after I came back on the scene of occuerence after chasing the accused and nto before.""(C)Shawala Nand stated in his cross-examination that the feet of Shanta were towards the direction from which he was coming while her head was towards the stone wall at the time of the incident.He then corrected himself and stated that the head of Shanta at the time of the incident was nto towards the stone wall, but that she was made to lie by the side of the wall lengthwise.On the toher hand, P. W. I, Shanta, stated in her cross-examination that when the accused was upon her body, her feet were towards the side from which Shawala Nand was coming.(D)Shawala Nand stated that Shanta had a shirt on and did nto have any chopken or gachi at the time of the incident, while P. W. I, Shanta, stated that she was at that time putting on a woollen chopken (long coat) and gachi (a string round the chopken) at the time of the incident.(E)Shawala Nand stated in his Chief Examination that when he came back to the place of occurrence after chasing the accused, Shanta had already been helped to stand up by her mtoher Ranpati who had in the meanwhile come.on the scene of occurrence.In his cross-examination, he stated that he and Keshru did nto go to Shanta and Ranpati when they were standing at the wall after giving up the chasing of the accused, that he went to his own cattle while Keshru went to his sheep, and that he told Ranpati that it was the accused who raped the girl, Shanta, at that time from a distance of about 20 feet.P. W. 6, Ranpati, on the toher hand, stated in her cross-examination that when Shawala Nand and Keshru came back after chasing the accused, they sat near her and Shanta at the place of the occurrence.(13) The above statements can hardly be said to be discrepancies, and any case, they are very trivial and nto material discrepancies at all.(14) The discrepancies pointed out by Shri Thakur in the evidence of P. W. 5, Keshru, aie the following :- (A)Keshru stated in cross-examination that the girl, Shanta, vas senseless when he and Shawala Nand returned after chasing the appellant.No toher witness stated that she was senseless.(b) He stated in Chief Examination that the mtoher, Ranpati, carried the girl Shanta upon her back and took her to their Dohgri, while according to Ranapati, she took the girl to their Dohgri by holding the girl's arm while the girl was walking.(e) Keshru stat( din cross-examination that the appellant and Shawala Nand were running towards opposite directions at the time of the chasing of the accused, and that when Shawala Nand caught the accused by the shoulder, they were facing each toher.The counsel suggested that this was improbable as the appellant would be running away from Ranpati and nto towards him.(d) He stated in Chief Examination that at the time of the alleged incident he was with his sheep upon a hillock and from there he saw that the girl who was crying was lying underneath the body of a male, that he knew the girl Shanta and the accused (appellant) who were buth present in the court, and that when he had run down the hillock for about 30 feet, he saw that the accused (appellant) left the body of Shanta and started runing.In cross-examination also he stated that when he shouted from the hillock the accused looked towards him while the accused was lying upon the body of Shanta, and that he did nto know what the accused did to Shanta when he was lying upon her body, and he was nto told by anybody as to what the accused did to the girl.These statements of the said witnesses corroborate each toher.Thus, it is clear from the .evidence of the said witnesses that the appellant with his pyjama stripped down up to his kness lay upon the body of Shanta, whose pyjama also was stripped down up to her knees.(17) The question then is as to whether the appellant committed sexual intercourse with the girl.P. W. 4, stated that the accused remained on the body of Shanta for a lesser time than what one would take to smoke out one cigarette.The girl, Shanta, told her mtoher immediately after the incident that she was raped by the person who was being chased by Shawala Nand she also told the same to her father, Shaligram, when he came to their Dobgri in the evening.P. W. 8, Dr. N. C. Jain, Civil Hospital, Nahan, conducted the medical examination of the girl Shanta, on 24th January, 1966, and issued a certificate, Exhibit P. F. He stated in his Chief Examination as follow? :- ""EITHERon the back of pyjama or on the front there is nto any kind of blood stain.No hairs on the private part.","['Section 375 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 5 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 4 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Bina (Respondent no.2), who was stated to be the sister-in-law of Suresh Chand.The petitioner agreed for purchasing the plot of land in question and in order to fix the deal, issued one cheque of Rs.20 lacs and two cheques of Rs.10 lacs each dated 15.06.2010 drawn on HDFC Bank, Gopi Nath Market, Delhi Cantt, New Delhi.The aforesaid cheques were issued in the name of Narender and Surender as Bina (Respondent no.2) was not having any bank account.Two more cheques of Rs.15 lacs each were also issued by the petitioner.Believing the assertions of the accused persons, the petitioner paid Rs.35 lacs in cash to Respondent no.2 and Suresh Chand at his residence in the presence of Daya Nand Aggarwal and others.Later, the petitioner learnt that the property which was agreed upon to be purchased by him and against which the petitioner had made payment of Rs.45 lacs to Respondent no.2 and Suresh Chand, did not belong to them and they were not the rightful owners of the said property.P No.762/2014 Page 3 of 14On detection of such fraud, and on being confronted, a promise was made by the accused persons that the amount accepted by them would be returned in three installments.The petitioner had no option but to acquiesce.Later Respondent no.2 entered in the scene and executed an agreement to sell the property for a large sum of money as consideration.The Crl.Babu Lal Aggarwal, the informant of FIR No.58/2013 (PS Palam Vihar) challenges the order dated 25.11.2014 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge-V, Dwarka Courts, Delhi, in Criminal Revision Petition No.89/2014 whereby the charges framed against Respondent no.2 by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, South-West District, Dwarka Courts, Delhi, on 26.02.2014 has been set aside and Respondent no.2 has been discharged.After the completion of investigation, chargesheet was submitted on 07.05.2013, sending up Respondent no.2 for trial.A supplementary chargesheet was also filed.","['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 415 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 448 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 228 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"...for the petitioners.Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, PP Mr. Mainak Gupta, Adv....for the State.The petitioners seek anticipatory bail in connection with Dum Dum Police Station Case No. 123 of 2018 dated 21.02.2018 under Sections 366A/370/370B/109/120B of the Indian Penal Code, under Sections 3/4/5/6/7/9 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and under Sections 4/17/21 of the POCSO Act.The State opposes the prayer and says that the petitioners are the owners of the hotel where minor girls would be taken and abused.The petitioners claim that the hotel was under the control and custody of a designated manager and the petitioners could not have known of the illegal activity conducted thereat by the manager.The petitioners say that none of the victims has named the petitioners.Considering the material and the gravity of the offence, it may not be fair to excuse the petitioners from custodial interrogation notwithstanding the charge- sheet being filed.If necessary, the investigating officer can file a supplementary charge-sheet.Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioners for anticipatory bail is rejected.(Abhijit Gangopadhyay, J.)

+"(1) Being dissatisfied with the investigation carried on by the Delhi Police in Case Fir No. 127/95 dated 26th April, 1995 registered at Ps Kotla Mubarak pur, New Delhi under Sections 302/ 120B/IPC, the petitioner has filed this petition for transfer of investigation to the Central Bureau of Investigation or any other independent agency.(2) One Praveen Malhotra was the son of the petitioner and was residing on the first floor of House No. A-lll, defense Colony, New Delhi.The petitioner and his wife i.e. the parents of Praveen Malhotra were residing on the ground floor of the same house.In the night intervening 19/20th December, 1994 Praveen Malhotra was found dead in suspicious circumstances in room No. 2 of South Delhi Guest House, NDSE-I, New Delhi.The petitioner made a complaint to D.C.P.(South) on 20th December, 1994 staling inter alia that he suspected foul play in the death of his son at the hands of certain persons whose names had been mentioned in the petition.(4) That on 19th December, 1994 at about 8.30 p.m. a driver came at the guest house in a red Maruti Gypsy and told the man at the reception that the room of Praveen Malhotra had not been cleaned.At this, the receptionist told him that the room had been cleaned 2-3 times in the day.Certain instances of the said persons having got blank papers signed from Praveen Malhotra and having tried to grab the properties have also been given in the petition.On the complaint of the petitioner and after some investigation which was entrusted to Special Investigation Unit, South District and on receipt of the post mortem report, a case under Sections 302/102-B Indian Penal Code was registered at Ps Kotla Mubarakpur, New Delhi.However, after obtaining a second opinion on the postmortem report, it was stated that in view of the investigations carried out so far, it appeared to be a case of accidental death due to the head of the deceased having impacted in the plastic dustbin which resulted into asphyxia.It was further stated that the matter was still under investigation.(3) Being dissatisfied with the investigation carried out by the police, this petition was filed for transfer of investigation of the case to Central Bureau of Investigation or to any other independent agency.Some of the facts which are relevant for purposes of deciding this petition and which are admitted by the State are:Further, the driver told him that he was coming from the room and Praveen Malhotra appeared to have fallen down; there appeared to be some injury in his mouth and blood was coming out of his mouth to the floor of the room and the receptionist should have the same cleaned.10 or 15 minutes thereafter the receptionist went into the room of Praveen Malhotra and found his head leaning out of the bed and his left hand was totally smeared with blood and he was trying to clean the blood from his mouth with the right hand.The receptionist asked him as to what had happened on which Praveen Malhotra tried to speak but failed in his efforts.The receptionist came back at the reception and telephoned the driver to inform him that the condition of Praveen Malhotra was very bad.After about 7-8 minutes, the driver reached the Guest House and the receptionist along with the driver went to the room of Praveen Malhotra where they cleaned his mouth with a towel.After opening the mouth, the driver told the receptionist that it appeared that the tongue of Praveen Malhotra had been cut as a result of which the blood was coming out.When the driver wanted to take Praveen Malhotra to Golf Links to the Doctor, he was told by Praveen Malhotra that he was all right and he wanted a peg of whisky to be given to him.A bottle of whisky was lying in the room and the driver made a peg from out of that and the receptionist came back at the reception.After about 20-25 minutes, the driver came at the reception where he told the waiter Anand Singh to take care of Praveen Malhotra.At about 10.30/10.45 p.m. some lady telephoned at the guest house and asked the receptionist to call the person from room No. 2 where Praveen Malhotra was staying.However, nobody responded to the phone in room No. 2 whereupon the lady asked him to go to the room and find out as to why nobody was responding.When the receptionist went in the room he found that Mr.Malhotra was vomiting blood.The receptionist immediately informed that lady on the phone about the same.After about 8-10 minutes, the driver came at the guest house and he was taken to the room and they found that Praveen Malhotra was already dead and while the lower portion of the body was on the bed, the upper portion was leaning from the bed and his head was in the plastic dustbin.Thereafter, the receptionist telephoned at the same number where he had spoken to the driver earlier and informed the person who had picked up the receiver about Praveen Malhotra.As nobody came at the guest house in spite of the information having been given on telephone, nor the driver came back, police was called at the guest house and was informed about the incident.(6) About the second post-mortem report which had been obtained by the police, the case of the State is that as the statement of witnesses did not tally, a request was made for constitution of a Medical Board for giving opinion on the postmortem report.(7) On a perusal of the material before me, I find that certain aspects of the matter appear to have not been investigated by the police inasmuch as while the receptionist at the guest house states that the driver when he came at about 11.00 p.m., was taken to the room of Praveen Malhotra and he was found already dead, the driver left the guest house immediately thereafter to come back shortly, however, he did not come back.Thereafter the information of the death was also given on telephone number available with the guest house from where a lady had earlier telephoned to enquire about the deceased, however, nobody came at the guest house.As to why the driver did not return and why did he leave immediately for Allahabad is a matter which requires investigation.Even a matter of urgent nature could wait the departure of the driver to Allahabad when he had already seen the dead body of the person to whom he was attending upon daily and to whom he had spoken only two hours earlier.The persons who had booked the room for Praveen Malhotra in the guest house having been informed about the death at about 11.00 p.m. did not bother to visit the guest house and it appears that the police had not investigated that angle.Though it has been stated by the driver that the deceased before his death was drinking alcohol, the post-mortem report suggests that there was nothing to ""suggest intoxication or influence of alcohol/phenytoin /any other common poisons"".There is nothing in the report to show as to why the deceased was vomiting blood as there was a pool of blood on the floor.(8) Be that as it may, on a cumulative reading of the statements recorded by the police and the material placed before me, I feel that the investigation so far carried out was not satisfactory and certain vital aspects of the case have not been investigated.Mr. Aggarwal has no objection if the matter is transferred to the Crime Branch, Delhi Police for further investigation.(9) For the foregoing, I transfer investigation of the case to the Crime Branch, Delhi Police which will carry out further investigation without in any manner being influenced by the investigation carried out earlier.With these observations, the petition stands disposed of.",['Section 302 in The Indian Penal

+"After marriage complainant had problems with the family members of her husband.She wished to live separately and she shifted to a rental accommodation along with her husband and daughter.However, the marriage perhaps did not click and she took away her daughter and other articles except bulky one and went to USA.Her allegations were that since her marriage, she was subjected to unwarranted remarks in the garb of jokes about standard of her family and every accused person stated that she had not brought sufficient dowry.They among themselves used to speak of ""physically handling"" her.On one occasion, her in laws verbally abused her parents.Her saas (mother-in-law) and nanad (sister-in-law) Crl.MC No.162/2010 Page 2 of 3 assaulted her when she resented abuses to her parents.The allegations were very vague.No occasion, date, month or year of demand of Rs. 50 lac was stated by complainant.MC No.162/2010 Page 3 of 3MM would show that the Ld. MM considered the material available on record, gave the details of the fact and came to the conclusion that no charge under Section 498A IPC or 406 IPC was made against the accused persons and discharged the accused.In revision, the Ld.MC No.162/2010 Page 1 of 3MC No.162/2010 Page 1 of 3In a revision against charge, if an accused has been discharged, the revision Court cannot brush aside the order of the Trial Court in a casual and mechanical manner as has been done by the learned Additional Sessions Judge in this case.A charge is liable to be framed against an accused by the Court if the material placed before the Trial Court is such that if entire admissible evidence collected by the police was considered true, commission of offence was made out.Her saas demanded Rs. 50 lac.The other complaint of complainant was about her husband taking to drinking and smoking and in insulting her in presence of others whenever she tried to check his habits.She alleged that heavy drinking and smoking of her husband created havoc in the peaceful living of her married life - to such an extent, that she thought of committing suicide.In respect of these allegations, the Trial Court observed that heavy drinking and smoking of her husband would not fall under Section 498A IPC.The Trial Court found that all her allegations about other facts were so vague that no case was made out under Section 498A and 406 IPC.I consider that the Trial Court rightly judged the material available on record in order to find out whether the charge should be framed against the accused person or not.The Ld.Additional Sessions Judge did not appreciate that even if all allegations made by the complainant were considered true, no case under Section 498A or 406 could have been made out.This petition is allowed.The order dated 16th November, 2009 of Ld.Additional Sessions judge is set aside.The order dated 11th March, 2008 of Ld. MM is restored.","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"On a close scrutiny of the entire evidence of P.W. 4, we have no hesitation in affirming the finding of the learned trial Judge that P.W. 4 and the first accused were on inimical terms for sometime prior to the occurrence, although, they were distantly related to each other.On the date of the occurrence 16th April, 1970 at about 4 P.M. P.W. 4 Palaniandi Servai and one Kandaswamy (not examined) were returning from Kottampatti to their village, Chinnakottampatti.The distance is stated to be about one mile.Malaichamy, the first accused, accused P.W. 4 on the road.He kicked him (P.W. 4) down and attempted to spear him with a vel kambu.P.W. 1 and the deceased Subbiah went to the field house of P.W. 4 to enquire about this incident and on the way Subbiah (P.W. 3) son of Karuppiah was taken along by them.P.Ws. 1 and 3 and the deceased Subbiah found P.W. 4 weeping and after hearing about the details of the assault, the deceased Subbiah told P.W. 4 that he should make a complaint to the Police about the assault.P.W. 4 agreed.P.W. 3, Kannusamy, and deceased Subbiah accompanied P.W. 4 to the Police Station of Kottampatti.They got a complaint (Exhibit P-5) prepared by a local petition-writer at Kottampatti and P.W. 4 presented it at the Police Station before P.W. 10 the Station-Writer of the Police Station, since the SuB-1nspector was not available.They had some coffee at Kottampatti later; they were returning to their village, Chinnakottampatti, at about 2-30 P.M, along the Trichy main road.There is a diversion road branching off from the main road to the village of Chinnakottampatti, and P.W. 4 and Kannusamy parted company from the deceased Subbiah and P.Ws. 1 and 3, who were proceeding on the branch road to their village.This was at about 9 P.M. and there was undoubtedly bright moonlight at that time.It emerges from the recorded evidence that all the five accused as well as.P.Ws. 1 and 3 (the two eye-witnesses) and also P.W. 4 and the deceased Subbiah belong to the same village of Chinnakottampatti.JUDGMENT K.N. Mudaliyar, J.After killing the deceased Subbiah, the five accused returned to the road.P.Ws. 1 and 3 saw them and quietly hastened towards their village.P.W. 1 asked P.W. 3 to go to the village and inform the family of the deceased about the occurrence.P.W. 1 himself left the place to give a report to the Village Munsif, residing at Kottampatti.On the information given by P.W. 3 to the relations of the deceased, they all came crying to the scene of crime, which is about one and a half furlongs away from their house.After recording the said complaint, Exhibit P-1,' P.W. 6 accompanied by P.W. 1 and the Village Vettian, got a petromax light and reached the scene of occurrence.He saw the dead body of the deceased with multiple injuries in the garden of Kaliappan.P.W. 6 prepared the routine reports to the Police and the Magistrate and despatched them through his Vettian at 11 P.M. which were received by P.W. 10 at about 11-50 P.M. Naturally P.W. 6 continued to stay at the scene of occurrence till the arrival of the SuB-1nspector of Police (P.W. 13) on 17th April, 1970 at 10 A.M.P.W. 13 the SuB-1nspector of Police of Kottampatti Police Station was on special bandobust duty at Maduraiin connection with the visit of the Vice-President of India.P.W. 13 received from P.W. 12 an express tapal regarding the crime at about 6 A.M. on 17th April, 1970, when he Was on duty near St. Mary's High School.Dr. Abdul Gafoor Adamsa (P.W. 2) conducted the autopsy on the body of the deceased Subbiah on 18th April, 1970 at 10-45 A.M. It is unnecessary for us to elaborately describe the multiple injuries found on the body of the deceased as paragraph 6 of the judgment of the learned Sessions Judge contains all the details.Suffice it for us to observe that the deceased had received at least eight injuries which were necessarily fatal.The head was virtually severed from the body except a portion of the skin :over the right side sticking to the body.According to the doctor, death Would have been instantaneous on receipt of the injuries.The plea of the accused was one of denial.The learned Sessions Judge accepted the evidence adduced by the prosecution that the First Information Report was given within one hour after the occurrence and that Exhibit P. 1. contained the names of all the appellants.The learned Judge further found that the motive was quite sufficient for the accused to commit the offence in question.The learned Judge, while accepting the testimony of P.W. 1, found that his evidence marked under Section 288 of the Criminal Procedure Code, taken along with the evidence of P.Ws. 3: and 6, clearly established that all the five accused committed the offences charged against them and that they murdered the deceased Subbiah in cold blood.He even admits that Exhibit P-1 was read over to him.He admits further that all the recitals in Exhibit P-1 are true.He admits that he was examined in the committal Court.He further admits that Exhibit P-2 is his deposition The learned Sessions Judge records as-follows :Public Prosecutor requests the Court to mark it under Section 288, Criminal Procedure Code.Marked as requested.Exhibit P-2 was read over to the witnesses.Accused informed.P.W. 1 further stated that prior to his deposition in the committal Court he gave a statement under Section 164,, Criminal Procedure Code, in the Court of the Sub-Magistrate, Madurai.He further states that the SuB-1nspector held the inquest on the morning of the next day.P.W. 3 stated that there was bright moonlight, that all the five accused intercepted the deceased and that the second accused instigated the first accused to murder the deceased Subbiah, since the latter was supporting P.W. 4 Palaniandi as against the first accused.P.W. 3 swears that immediately the first accused dealt a cut with his aruval on the deceased, but the deceased tried to obstruct the cut and received it on his left hand.After receiving the cut the deceased Subbiah must have run for his life into the neighbouring field of Kaliappan.All the five accused chased him into the field and cut him indiscriminately as a result of which Subbiah died instantaneously.P.W. 3 was with the deceased Subbiah when the first cut was delivered by the first accused.He was standing on the side of the road near the fence and when the accused came he ran towards the village to inform the near relations of the deceased about the occurrence.No motive has been suggested against P.W. 3 as to why he should implicate the five accused-appellants.Some attempt has been made at suggesting some misunderstanding between P.W. 3 and the first accused in regard to their engagement as tope kavalkars.At any rate we find a total absence of any suggestion to P.W. 3 as to why he did implicate falsely accused 2 to 5 at all.",['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No. 85/95 by which the appellant/accused has been convicted under Section 376 of I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for 7 years.Being aggrieved the appellant/accused has preferred this appeal under Section 374(2) of Cr.P.C.It is undisputed that prosecutrix Suganti bai (P.W.-1) is a sister-in-law(bhabhi) of appellant/accused 2 Balakram and witness Bhure (P.W.3) is a brother-in- law(jeth) of prosecutrix.The prosecution case in short is that husband of prosecutrix(P.W.1) was in Bhopal Jail therefore she was living separately along with her 4 years child in village Gyaraspur.After usual investigation appellant/accused was charge-sheeted.Learned Session Judge framed the charges against the appellant under Sections 451,506 Part- II,376,323 of I.P.C.The appellant abjured the guilt and pleaded that he is falsely implicated and further pleaded that prosecutrix is having illicit relation with one Ramadhar, being a near relative of prosecutrix appellant/accused objected and beaten her therefore, he was falsely implicated.After completing trial, on appraisal of evidence of record Learned Sessions Judge acquitted the appellant/ accused under Sections 451,506 Part-II,323 of I.P.C. but convicted him under Section 376 of I.P.C. and sentenced as mentioned above.Hence, this appeal.Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that trial Court failed to appreciate the evidence on record in its proper perspective and committed error in passing the impugned judgment.On the other hand learned Panel Lawyer supported the impugned judgment and finding of the trial Court.I have perused the impugned judgment, evidence and other materials on record.Prosecutrix(P.W.1) deposed that on the fateful night she was sleeping, after closing the door of her house.At about 10-11 p.m. in the night appellant/accused entered in her house after broken the door of house and caught hold her.She tried to ran away, then appellant/accused assaulted her by stick and then committed the rape on her.She further deposed that witness Bhure(P.W.3) came over there on her hue and cry and he saved her.She further deposed that she narrated the incident to Sarpanch Ramsingh and on the very same night Sarpanch sent him to Kotwar, but Kotwar was not available therefore, she lodged the report after 2-3 days.Later on she added that her brother-in-law(jeth) Bhure and father-in-law threatened her not to report the matter, therefore, she reported the matter belatedly.But this fact not found place in F.I.R., therefore explanation for delayed F.I.R. can not be said to be reliable.Soorat lal(P.W.2) is a village Kotwar.He did not support the prosecutrix therefore, he was declared hostile by the prosecution.Further, he deposed that prosecutrix came to him in the fateful night and told 5 him that appellant/accused beaten her.Bhure(P.W.3) is a brother-in-law of prosecutrix also not supported her and was also declared hostile by the prosecution.In these circumstances, only statement of prosecutrix remains on record.No doubt if statement of prosecutrix found to be truthful and there exist no circumstances which cast on shadow of doubt on her veracity, conviction can be based on single testimony of prosecutrix.Keeping in mind aforementioned principle of appreciation when I carefully peruse the cross- examination of prosecutrix, I am of the view that single testimony of prosecutrix can not be said to be reliable because prosecutrix herself stated in her examination- in-chief that at the time of incident witness Bhure(brother of appellant/accused) came over due to hue and cry made by her and he saved her.In her cross-examination, para 9, she categorically admitted that as soon as appellant entered in her house and assaulted her, she made hue and cry, therefore his brother-in-law Bhure(P.W.3) came over there and he saved her.She further deposed that immediately appellant/accused went from her house, she immediately rushed to the Sarpanch Ramsingh to 6 narrate the incident.There is material omission brought on her cross- examination from her police statement(Ex. D-1) in regard to the fact that appellant/accused entered the house after broken the door of the house.Trial Court also not believed her in regard to broken of door,therefore appellant was acquitted to the charge under Section 451 of I.P.C.On perusal of FIR(Ex. P-10) it reveals that according to prosecutrix she narrated the incident to witness Bhure, brother-in-law(jeth) of the prosecutrix after two days of the incident but in the statement before Court she deposed that Bhure came over there at the time of incident and saved her.In these circumstances, defence of the appellant/ accused appears to be probable that prosecutrix was entangle with one Ramadhar by taking the advantage of absence of her husband who was in jail.Being a near relative appellant had assaulted her and according to prosecutrix on the same night Bhure(P.W.3) brother-in-law(jeth) of the prosecutrix also saved her.This fact is also precepeted from her cross- examination, para 9 that as soon as appellant accused entered in her house he beaten her, she made hue and 7 cry and Bhure(P.W.3) came over there and saved her.In these circumstances, single testimony of prosecutrix can not be said to be reliable.Because her statement is not corroborated by medical evidence and FIR.F.I.R. appears to be product of after thought.In these circumstances, prosecution failed to prove the offence under Section 376 of I.P.C. against the appellant/accused and trial Court has committed error in not appreciating the evidence on record in its proper perspective.Thus appeal succeed.(G.S.

+"The case of the prosecution is that the first accused is the husband of the deceased Mookkayee; the accused 2 and 3 are the parents of the 1st accused.Prior to one year from 19.11.2003, the first accused has married the deceased Mookkayee and after the marriage, both of them has lived as husband and wife in the house of the accused.All the accused have joined together and demanded dowry from the deceased in the form of jewels, cow and other articles.Since the deceased Mukkayee has not been able to brook the demand made by all the accused, she committed suicide.The complaint given by P.W.12 has been marked as Ex.On receipt of Ex.Challenge in this Criminal Appeal is to the convictions and sentences dated 20.12.2006 passed in Sessions Case No.47/2006 by the District and Sessions Court, Mahila Court, Perambalur.The Judicial Magistrate, Perambalur, after considering the facts that the offences alleged to have been committed by all the accused are triable by sessions court, has committed the case to the court of sessions, Perambalur Division and taken on file in Sessions Case No.47/2006 and subsequently, made out to the trial court.The trial court, after hearing both sides and upon perusing relevant records has framed a 1st charge against all the accused under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code (hereinafter called as IPC); second charge against all the accused under Section 306 of the IPC and the same has been read over and explained to them.The accused have denied the charge and claimed to be tried.On the side of the prosecution, P.Ws.1 to 16 have been examined, Exhibits P.1 to P.12 and Material Object 1 have been marked.When the accused have been questioned under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 as respects the incriminating materials available in evidence against them, they denied their complicity in the crime.No oral and documentary evidence have been let in on the side of the accused.The trial court, after hearing arguments of both sides and upon perusing relevant material on record has found all the accused not guilty under Section 306 of the IPC and ultimately acquitted them.Likewise, accused 2 and 3 are not found guilty under Section 498-A of the IPC and subsequently, acquitted them.The trial court has found the first accused guilty under Section 498-A and sentenced him to undergo 25 months rigorous imprisonment and also imposed a fine of Rs.1,000/- with usual default clause.Against the conviction and sentence passed by the trial court, the present criminal appeal has been preferred at the instance of the 1st accused as appellant.The learned counsel appearing for the appellant/1st accused has contended vehemently to the effect that the specific charge framed against the appellant/1st accused is that he and remaining accused have used to torture the deceased by way of demanding gold jewels, cow and other articles, by means of dowry and since she has not been able to meet out their demand, she committed suicide, but for the purpose of proving the said aspect, there is no evidence on the side of the prosecution and the trial court, without considering the lack of evidence on the side of the prosecution, has erroneously found the appellant/1st accused guilty under Section 498-A of the IPC and therefore, the conviction and sentence passed by the trial court is liable to be interfered with.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has contended that in the instant case, the parents of the deceased have been examined as P.Ws.2 and 3 and apart from their evidence, one Karuppaiah has been examined as P.W.16 and all of them has spoken about the torture made by all the accused and the trial court has rightly found the first accused guilty under Section 498-A of the IPC and therefore, the conviction and sentence passed by the trial court do not warrant interference.In fact, this court has perused the entire evidence given by P.W.3, mother of the deceased and she has not spoken about the demand of dowry, whereas P.W.3, father of the deceased, in his chief examination stated to the effect that the first accused has demanded dowry.But during the course of cross examination, he has given evidence to the effect that he does not know anything and his wife alone knows everything.Therefore, the evidence given by P.Ws.2 and 3 does not support the version of the prosecution.The prosecution has examined P.W.16, after examination of the Investigating Officer.The specific evidence given by P.W.16 is that prior to occurrence, he met the deceased and other accused and effected Panchayat in connection with the alleged harassment and that itself would not be sufficient for coming to a conclusion that the appellant/1st accused has tortured her in connection with dowry demand.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has contended that the first accused has been examined by the Revenue Divisional Officer, where, he deposed that prior to occurrence, he attacked his wife and only due to that, she might have committed suicide.In fact, the entire statement given by 1st accused has been scanned by this court and he merely stated that prior to occurrence he simply attacked his wife and further he opined, that may be the cause for committing suicide and that itself would not be sufficient for coming to a conclusion that only due to dowry torture, the deceased committed suicide.As rightly pointed out by the learned counsel appearing for the appellant/1st accused, virtually on the side of the prosecution, no evidence is available so as to attract penal provision of 498-A of the IPC.The trial court, without considering the lack of evidence on the side of the prosecution has erroneously convicted the 1st accused/appellant under the said section.In view of the discussion made earlier, considering the subsisting force in the contention made on the side of the appellant/1st accused, this criminal appeal is liable to be allowed.Fine amount paid by him is ordered to be refunded forthwith.07.09.2015Index:Yes/nonvsri To1.The Deputy Superintendent of PolicePerambalur DivisionPerambalur District(Kaikalathur Police StationCr.2.The

+"Cbi Office, Cgo Complex, New Delhi, on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000 with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer.He was.He is an influential person of the area and is capable of organising huge rallies with a view to prevent the concerned persona not to be witnesses in the case.One of the eyewitness has in fact been threatened or serious consequences in case he attempted to depose against the petitioner.(7) In order to appreciate the submission- of the learned counsel for the respondent, one has to keep in mind the circumstances leading to the registration of the present case.The assassination of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on 31-10-84, was an unfortunate incident, but still more unfortunate were the events which took place thereafter, as a result of which a large number of anti-social elements came out of their houses in anger and indulged in incidents of rioting, looting, arson, assault and killing of innocent persons and burning their property throughout India.On first of November, 1984, such like incidents also took place in the locality of Sultanpuri, Delhi.Information of this incident was received at the Police station at about 2.10 p.m. It was recorded in the D.D. Register at serial No. 11-A and the same was handed over to Si Sukhbir Singh for immediate action.Sukhbir Singh went to the spot and made preliminary enquiries.Later on, he sent a Ruqa to the police station for the registration of a case uss 147, 148, 149, 395, 196 Indian Penal Code .Then he recorded the statements of various witnesses who were the target of looting, arson and' assault.The Si collected the MLCs from the hospital and in view of the medical reports, further recommended the inclusion of Sections 307, 324 and 302 Indian Penal Code .(8) On the demand of the victims that competent, responsible and experienced police officers be deputed to investigate these cases, the Government of India transferred the investigation to the Vigilance Department of the Delhi Police.Si Raj Singh was deputed to thoroughly investigate the case.In this petition, affidavits of number of persons were filed who in fact were the sufferers of the riots.This Cwp was finally dismissed.(10) However, keeping in view the persistent demand of the so called voluntary organisation, the Government of India on 26th April, 1985, appointed Mr. Justice Ranganath Misra, sitting Judge of the Supreme Court to thoroughly investigate the happening after the death of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, and to find out, as to whether there was any organized mob violence at the behest of Congress workers and if there was, then suggest ways and means to punish the guilty.The short span of time that intervened would not have permitted scope for any organising to be done.The gloom that had spread and affected the Congressmen in particular would not have permitted any such organisation to be handled.The reaction appears to have come as a flutter and sparked everywhere in a similar pattern.""(11) The Commission further concluded that no responsible person in authority of Congress-1 hatched any conspiracy or organized large scale rioting, looting, killing, etc. in various parts of Delhi.In fact, the anti-social elements had taken the lead.The treatment meted out to the officer, of the Cbi who had gone to the residence of the petitioner for search and his arrest on 11-9-90 by Itself is an example of his influence.(2) The investigation of this case where the accused is alleged to have organized a mob in targeted them to murder and burn the houses of a particular community is, at a crucial stage and the petitioner being at large, will certainly hamper the investigation.(3) Most of the witnesses in this case are either widows, destitutes or uprooted persona and they are under the constant threat of the petitioner and his associates.Because of this terror, they are not coming forward to make the statements even though have been shifted to safer places.(4) The Poti-Rosha Committee having found a prima facie case against the petitioner, has recommended the registration and investigation of the case by the Cbi and keeping in view the nature of the offence and the persons involved, anticipatory bail should not have been granted.(5) The prosecution has still to take into possession 6 swords which were found in the house of the petitioner and were not allowed to be taken into custody.During this search, the petitioner has also been found in possession of the documents which in the ordinary course should not have been there; (6) In this case, this court has granted the petitioner a blanket order of bail which is not in accordance with law and is liable to be cancelled.(3) In order to demonstrate the seriousness of the offence, learned Additional Solicitor General referred to the affidavit and the statement of Aawar Kaur which formed the basis of the registration of the case uss 147, 148, 149, 247, 430/34 Indian Penal Code against the petitioner and 5 others at police station Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi In brief, her case is that at the time of the assassination of the late Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, the petitioner Along with her husband Shri Navin Singh, and children was living in her house No. A-4, Sultanpuri, Delhi.On 1-11-84, while she Along with her other family members was present in her house, she saw thousands of people of the area armed with lathis, dandas, iron-rods and knives, looting the house of Sardars end setting them on tire.This mob was being led by Mp Sajjan Kumar who was instigating them that all male folks be burnt to death and their property be looted.Under that instigation, her husband was dragged out and attacked with a sharp-edged weapon and burnt to death after pouring kerosene oil on him.Thereafter, her house was also burnt.She took refuge in the house of her daughter Film Kaur, who was residing in D-Block Sultanpuri.Late at night, some people came there and removed the burnt dead body of her husband, which till date i not tracesble.Superintendent of Police, Cbi, the search of the house concluded at 8.45 Am, but in the meantime, the petitioner managed to organise a huge crowd, which made it impossible for the officers to leave the premises of the petitioner.During the course of search, the respondent officers have seized few documents and six swords but they could' not be removed on account of the law and order problem created by the petitioner outside his house.By the time the search was concluded, the mob outside the house inflamed, and was raising slogans against the Cbi and in favor of the petitioner.The mob in fact had barred the exit gate which made difficult for them to leave the premises.With the lapse of time, the mob continued to swell and provocative slogans were chanted through a loudspeaker system installed by the mob.The mob then became violent and smashed and damaged the Maruti Jipsi and Ambassador car of the CBI.The search party tried their best to call for reinforcement from the local police but it could not be arranged.In fact the information conveyed to the search party by the high police officials was that it was impossible for the police to come to their rescue without inflicting heavy casualities, which in turn, may also endanger the safety of the search parly.Uutimately, the search party could only be allowed to leave the premises after the anticipatory bail order from the High Court was received and conveyed to the persons waiting outside, on makeshift public address system by the petitioner.(6) The submission of the learned counsel for the respondent is that the petitioner is politically a powerful and influential person who can directly or indirectly interfere in the course of investigation.During the investigation he associated responsible persons of the public with a view to enthuse confidence in the mind of the persons who have been subjected to and were the victims of this incident.Statements of large number of witnesses were recorded.As a consequence thereof a large number of persons were arrested.For that demand the representatives of People's Union turn Civil Liberties (hereinafter referred to as PUCL) filed a writ petition in this court.During the commission proceedings, Justice Misra accorded recognition to the Pucl and the Citizens Justice Committee.The members of the said two committees personally went to places of incidents, to the camps where the inmates had been shifted and to various other places where many inmates had taken refuge.They collected many affidavits of the eye-witnesses and of the victims of assault including the next door neighbours of Anwar Kaur.On thorough examination of the affidavits, and other material placed on record, the commission came to the conclusion :- ""The news shows in clearest terms that rioting in proper sense had started in a very big way in several parts.of the city on 31st evening and except for killing which came into process from 1st November, 1984, every other form of attack on Sikhs had begun.The massive scale on which the operation had started so soon after the fact of death was circulated is clearly indicative of the fact that it was the spontaneous reaction of the people at large.The Commission recommended new committee be appointed to go through the individual cases of omission of non-registration of cases by the local police.(12) Pursuant to the report of the Justice Ranganath Misra Commission, Delhi Administration by notification of February 21, 1987 constituted a Committee comprising of M. L. Jain.201, and 211 of the Indian Penal Code .The Committee consequently by letter dated 14-10-1987, wrote to the Delhi Administration proposing that the Fir in this regard maybe registered and investigated in accordance with law.While issuing notice, the court restrained the registration of cases upon the direction of the Jain-Banerjee Committee.After hearing the parties at length.This court vide judgment and order dated October 4, 1989 allowed the writ petition.(14) On March 22, 1990, the Delhi Administration appointed another Committee comprising Mr. Justice P. S. Poti, former Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court and Shri P. A. Rosha, a retired officer of the Delhi Police service for the same purpose.The Administrator after due consideration accepted the recommendation and directed the Cbt vide his letter dated 5-9-90, to take further action in accordance with law.Upon the receipt of the said letter, the Cbi on September 7, 1990, registered the Fir in question against 6 accused persons, including the petitioner.Immediately thereafter, the respondent-CBI recorded the statements of three so-called eye-witnesses of the occurrence and on 11th September, 1990, organized a raiding party to search the house of the petitioner and arrest him.(15) In this background, let us examine the.contentions of the learned Additional Solicitor General appearing for the respondent CBI.(16) The detailed narration of facts' has been given with a view to how that even though the killing of Navin Singh the husband of Anwar Kaur had taken place on 1-11-84, she did not make any report to the police.Before that, she had an ample opportunity to approach not only the police station Sultan Puri for registration of the case involving the petitioner, as is now sought to be made out, but also making a grievance before Ranganath Misra Commission that in spite of her complaint, the local police has not registered the case.Instead on 17-12-84, she had approached the Sho of the police station and moved an application only for the grant of compensation for the loss which she had suffered due to the burning of her house.(17) Thereafter, very respectable, responsible and public Spirited members of the Pucl and Citizens Justice Committee, including Mr. Justice S. M. Sikri, a retired Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. V. M. Tarkunde.a former Judge of the Bombay High Court, Mi.Soli J. Sorabji, Sr.At that point of time Anwar Kaur was admittedly living in the camp.Even though the statements of neighbours of Anwar Kaur, namely, Dhoan Kaur resident of A-4175, Sultanpuri, Padmini Kaur, A-41164, Ram Kaur of A-41162, and Sumer Singh resident of A-4/129, were recorded but she did not come forward to make any statement.Smt. Anwar Kaur did not make any complaint before the police or before the Ranganath Misra Commission, against the petitioner responsible for the killing of her husband.Even her immediate neighbours who claim to be, the eye-witnesses of the killing on 1st Nov., 1984, in the area of Sultanpuri, and whose statements were recorded at the earliest point of time, did not name the petitioner responsible for holding any meeting or instigating them to kill or burn the houses of Sardars.He was not an unknown person of the area.Witnesses could not have omitted his name, if in fact be was there.This statement does not bear her signature or thumb mark.It has an endorsement of one Shri Atma Singh in whose presence the said statement of Anwar Kaur was recorded.We do not know nor it has been made clear by the Cbi as to who, when.where and whether in fact this supplementary statement was ever recorded.Whatever may be the explanation in my opinion, the delay of 3 years in the filing of the affidavit and the recording of her statement at least is a circumstance for which the benefit must go to the petitioner for the confirmation of his anticipatory bail.No doubt the petitioner was the Member of the Lok Sabha on the date of the alleged incident and has a following.They had an ample opportunity to straightway arrest the petitioner and bring him to the police station.In the meantime, well wishers of the petitioner started collecting at his house, in the normal course as he used to receive the persons of his constituency from 7 A.M. onwards.(24) At this stage, we may note that immediately thereafter the officers of the Cbi filed two FIRs at the local police station.In none of these two FIRs, the petitioner is accused of organizing the mob or making any inflamatory slogans or instigated the crowd to take revenge against the CBI.(25) As regards the recovery of the six swords, from the house of the petitioner, the respondent intentionally did not take them, to avoid any confrontation with the mob.It is stated at the bar that the said six swords have since been handed over to the officers of the CBI.These swords appeared to have been presented to the petitioner as Saropas by the Sikh community in recognition of his services for organising blood donation and rehabilitation camps for the victims of 1984 riots.It is only for that reason that the respondents have not so far registered any case against the petitioner for the illegal custody of the swords.(26) The Cbi raised a lot of hue and cry for the recovery of certain documents alleged to have been found from the house of the petitioner.Those documents in fact formed pan: of the file of the writ petition in Gupta's case.These very documents were the basis of the challenge in the writ petition.Its copies were duly supplied by the State to the counsel for the parties.(28) Against this order of bail, admittedly, the Cbi has not filed an appeal or revision for the cancellation of the bail order.The present petitioner is similarly situated as those of his coaccused.The blanker order of anticipatory bail thus is bound to cause serious interference with the right and duty or the police, to arrest the applicant even if he commits another offence.(30) The argument has only to be mentioned and rejected summarily.The investigating officer then recorded the statement of i'.2 wi'nesses on 8-9-90 and immediately thereafter on 11-9-90, set ovt to arrest the accused persons.As observed earlier, there is no material on record to suggest that the petitioner who has a status in the society, and enjoys good reputation, love and affection from the persons at large, is likely to repeat the offence, abuse the trust placed in him by the court, or avoid the trial.Even otherwise, the CBl does not appear to be serious in interrogating the petitioner.On 27-9-90, when the case was taken up, learned counsel fur the respondent frankly conceded that from the day when the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail, he has not been summoned for interrogation.It was only thereafter that the petitioner was summoned once on 28-9-90, and thereafter no attempt has been made to further interrogative him.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 438 in The Indian Penal

+"Ex. PW7/A records that a dead body was found in a park near Palam Railway Station.As per the post mortem, the dead body had external and internal injuries.Ligature mark was present all around the neck and horizontally placed below the thyroid cartilage, measuring whole circumference of the neck with ill-A. 187/2012 Page 1 of 19defined margins, with contused underneath tissue of the neck, with collection of scattered blood clots into the soft tissue of the neck.PW-13, his neighbour, had friendly relations with the deceased and he used to sit with him.On 26th April, 2009 at 7.30 PM, he was sitting with deceased at his shop in Raj Nagar when the deceased received a missed call on his mobile phone and went out of the shop to talk.He did not know about the contents of the conversation.Deceased came back and gave him the key to his office and instructed him to shut down the shop because he had to go somewhere on personal business.He closed the shop at about 7.45 PM and as instructed gave the key at the residence of Giriraj.In cross- examination, he admitted that he was a Constable in Delhi Police and was posted in Vikas Puri, Delhi.He had reached the shop of the deceased at 7.00 PM and in his presence only one missed call was received by the deceased.PW-13 did not know the appellant though he accepted and stated that he knew the deceased and his family.He did not know where the deceased had gone and what was the reason why the deceased asked him to close the shop and take the key home?Amit (PW-6) has stated that on 26th April, 2009, the appellant had taken his phone and made a missed call.He had come to know the appellant only 4/5 days prior to the incident, as the accused appellant also used to ply rickshaw outside Metro Station, Sector 9, Dwarka.He did not know with whom Pramod had talked and what the conversation was about.A. 187/2012 Page 6 of 19Vijay Singh (PW-10), son of the deceased, had stated that on 26 th April, 2009 at about 9.30 PM, he had made a call on his father's mobile phone but the phone was switched off.He went to sleep.At about 3.30 AM, he was woken up by his mother who told him that his father had not returned.He informed his neighbours, cousin and brother-in- law Raja Ram.He called up relatives but without any success.Next morning at 10.30 AM, they went to Police Station, Palam and met ASI Radha Kishan and the SHO.They called back on the said number and came to know that this phone number belonged to one Amit who plied rickshaw at the Metro Station.Amit told them that the appellant, another rickshaw puller, had made the call.Amit had stated that Pramod was introduced to him by one Jai Bhagwan, who was a sweeper at the Metro Station and who knew him.They met Jai Bhagwan and Pramod at 7.30 AM, on 28th April, 2009, along with several persons.Pramod confessed to Vijay Singh (PW-10) that he had murdered Vijay's father.No police officer was with them.Appellant volunteered to take them to the dead body of Vijay's father and took them to the park at Sector 20, Dwarka, opp.CNG filling station where he showed them the dead body.Appellant, Amit and Jai Bhagwan were beaten up by the public persons present there.Thereafter, police officers came.From the spot, police seized one spectacle, pieces of broken glass bottle and one pair of black colour leather slippers lying near the dead body.PW12 has stated that the appellant Pramod had told them that his father was murdered pursuant to a plan hatched by him with Amit and Jai Bhagwan.All three of them were arrested by the police.However, on 30th April, 2009, appellant Pramod gave another statement PW10/H, Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 7 of 19 stating that he had falsely implicated Jai Bhagwan and Amit so that they would save him, as they were local residents of the area.On the basis of the said disclosure statement, the appellant voluntarily led them to the pit in the same park and from the right side of the spot, he took out one black coloured purse which had Rs.2500/-, driving Licence of the deceased, one note of foreign currency and one slip of State Bank of India of Rs.40, 000/- marked Ex. PW10/K. On 5th June, 2009, a NOKIA mobile was recovered from Vinod Kumar and he identified that it belonged to his father.Kishan, a sweeper at the school, had sold him a mobile phone for Rs.500/-.He did not give any bill or phone charger.19. PW-18, SI Amar Pal had stated that he was on day emergency duty from 8.00 AM to 8.00 PM, at P.S. Dwarka.On receipt of DD entry No. 13B, he along with Constable Bajrang Lal reached the spot i.e. Sector 20 Park opp.CNG filling station, Dwarka where one male dead body was lying.Public persons had gathered there.On verification, the name of the deceased was disclosed as Giriraj.One spectacle, one pair of lakhani leather slippers, broken pieces of glass liquor bottle and one plastic bottle were lying.Crime team and other officers reached at the spot.The said articles were seized and lifted.Post mortem was conducted.Appellant was arrested at about 11.45 AM.He was at the park.In his cross-examination, he admitted that appellant Pramod and Jai Bhagwan were at the spot but he could not tell whether Amit was also present.PW-17, Constable Bajrang Lal had stated the ASI Amar Pal had received DD Entry No. 13B and he along with ASI Amarpal reached Sector 20 Park, Dwarka where huge crowd had gathered.A dead body of a male was found in a pit.There were injuries on the dead body.Police officers and crime team reached there.Two persons, namely appellant and Jai Bhagwan were held by the crowd gathered there.Jai Bhagwan and appellant were interrogated.In the cross-examination, he admitted that both of them had been beaten by the public and were only Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 10 of 19 wearing underwear on their bodies.Narender Singh (PW-19) had stated that after DD No. 13B was recorded, they reached the spot at about 8.20 AM.Constable Bajrang and SI Amar Singh were also present there.One decomposed male dead body was lying in the park.Two boys, i.e. appellant and Jai Bhagwan, who had been beaten by the public, were produced before the police.But he did not remember whether the appellant and Jai Bhagwan were only in underwear or not, as they were busy controlling the public.Surprisingly, no further details regarding this recovered SIM were filed/produced before this Court.The call was made by some unknown person.He was not aware of the address of Pramod but stated the Pramod used to come to Jai Bhagwan who was working at Sector-9 Metro Station, Dwarka.He along with Vijay Singh and some relatives went to the Metro Station and met Jai Bhagwan and made enquiries about Pramod.Jai Bhagwan had stated that he did not know Pramod's address but would help them in tracing Pramod.Next day he came to know that dead body of Giriraj was found.A. 187/2012 Page 13 of 19Moreover Amit (PW-6) had stated that he was a rickshaw puller and Jai Bhagwan was working as a sweeper in the Metro.The charge sheet to his extent is contrary to the statements of PW-10, PW-12 and PW6 as it states that Jai Bhagwan was the rickshaw puller and Amit PW6 was working in the metro.It appears that the family of the deceased was well connected and knew several persons in the police force.(PW-13) Satish Lamba was constable in Delhi Police and was well known to the deceased.As per PW-12, police officers were with them when he, along with Vijay Singh (PW-10), had gone to the house of the appellant Pramod.PW-10 has also stated that somebody had informed local police station about the dead body in the park.By order of sentence dated 16th May, 2011, the appellant has been sentenced to undergo life imprisonment and to pay fine of Rs.12,000/-, and in default of payment of fine, to further undergo simple imprisonment for six months.Further, the sub scalp haematoma of size 5x4 cms was present at occipital region of the head, with cherry red coloured blood clot, with fracture of occipital bone of skull.The body was highly decomposed, swelled up, bloated, emitting foul smell, with peeling of skin.The mouth was partially open with protruded tongue.White colour pyjama was encircled around the neck with two fold in situ.The cause of death was stated to be asphyxia caused by ligature strangulation using the block present in situ.The real question is whether the prosecution has been able to show and establish that the said injuries or the ""act"" was caused and done by the appellant Pramod? The prosecution version is that the deceased had received a missed call from mobile No. 9958293716 belonging to (PW-6) Amit.The deceased thereupon spoke to the appellant Pramod on the said telephone number, and thereafter met Pramod, the rickshaw puller, and was with him in his rickshaw.The appellant rickshaw puller purchased liquor from the liquor shop and both of them, i.e. the appellant and the deceased, drank liquor together in the park.Thereafter, the appellant killed the deceased.There are no eye-witnesses.The prosecution's case is based purely upon circumstantial evidence.It is primarily based on circumstances of last seen, extra judicial confession and recovery.To establish the evidence of last seen, the prosecution heavily relies upon statement of PW-12, Gajanand.He went to the house of Giriraj, met his son, and informed him that he had seen Giriraj on 26th April, 2009, near the liquor shop in Sector 20, Marble Market, on a rickshaw and that ""........... I had also seen the rikshaw puller purchasing some liquor and a water bottle and handing over the same to Giriraj and further that I had asked Giriraj as to where was he going on which he had told me that he was going to attend a party and thereafter Giriraj had gone towards CNG filling station in the same rikshaw, after which I had returned to my house after purchase some usable articles for my house.A. 187/2012 Page 2 of 19On this information being given to me by Vijay, I along with Vijay, his cousin Kamal and his relative Raja Ram went to PS Palam where one Satish Lamba, friend of the deceased was already present.He told us that on 26.4.2009 Giriraj had received a missed call on his mobile phone at about 7.30 PM and after receiving the said missed call he had gone out of his shop.................""Is PW-12 a chance witness or a planted witness, who had last seen the appellant with the deceased? PW-12 has been disbelieved by the trial court and in our opinion rightly.The said witness has not stated that he knew the rickshaw puller from before or that Giriraj and rickshaw puller were going to drink liquor together.As discussed below, PW-12 was very close to family of the deceased.This creates a grave doubt on the statement of PW-12 that he had seen deceased Giriraj with the appellant rickshaw puller.It is difficult to perceive and believe that Giriraj, a property dealer and a man of means, would like to have liquor with a rickshaw puller in a park.PW-12 seems to be a planted witness to this extent.There is a grave suspicion that the Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 3 of 19 aforesaid statement has been made to plug in the gaps in the prosecution version.It is difficult for us to place reliance on PW-12 Giriraj's aforesaid statement to implicate the accused appellant.A. 187/2012 Page 3 of 19This number belongs to Vijay Singh (PW-10), son of the deceased.PW-10 in his examination in chief had stated that on 27th April, 2009, he had made a call on number 100 and also called the police station.The DD entry records that the caller from the said number had stated that some people had abducted his father Giriraj ""uthakar le gaye"".PW-12's statement that he had an occasion and had seen the deceased with the appellant and had also spoken to PW10 on 27th April, 2009 is not supported and is contrary to what PW-10 had informed on telephone and was recorded in DD No. 44 B. PW-12's statement that he had seen a rickshaw puller purchasing liquor and water bottle etc. does not aspire confidence and is not believable.As per PW-12, Giriraj had remarked that he was going to a party and thereafter he had gone towards CNG filling station in a rickshaw.In case Giriraj had gone or was going to a party, then the evidence of last seen viz. the appellant has to be disbelieved.The deceased could have gone to the party and his death may be subsequent.These and other gaps, contradictions and improbabilities in the prosecution version and statements have been discussed below.In the cross-examination, Vijay Singh (PW10) had first stated that the mobile phone of his father was recovered from the accused Pramod, in his presence.He, however, immediately changed the statement and stated that the purse was recovered from possession of Pramod but not the mobile phone.This is contrary to what PW10 had stated in examination in chief that on 5 th June, 2009 he was called to the Police Station where one Vinod was present, from whom mobile phone was recovered.A. 187/2012 Page 7 of 19Vinod Kumar appeared as PW14 and had stated that he was working as a teacher in a school, at Delhi Cantt.He had used his Idea SIM card No. 9812170312 on the said phone.On 5th June, 2009, he received a call from his brother-in-law Naveen inquiring if he had purchased a mobile phone and/or had used his SIM card in some-one's mobile phone.In the cross-examination, PW-14 had stated that he did not know that the value of the new Nokia mobile phone in question Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 8 of 19 was Rs.5000/-.He also accepted that his brother in law was working as a Constable in Delhi Police.A. 187/2012 Page 8 of 19He had stated that on 29 th April, 2009, he received a call from mobile No. 9812170312, which belonged to his brother-in-law Vinod Kumar.2-3 days later, police officials from PS Dwarka came to him and made enquiries about the said call.He immediately called Vinod who confirmed having purchased the said mobile phone.He along with Vinod Kumar had gone to the police station Dwarka, with one Kishan.Kishan was, however, not produced and his statement in the court was not recorded.As per order sheet dated 9th July, 2010, Kishan had reportedly left the given address.Order dated 20th September, 2010, again states that Kishan was not available and had left the given address.By order dated 25th October, 2010, prosecution evidence was closed recording that several opportunities had been granted.It was also recorded that Kishan was unserved on the ground that his latest address was not known.By order dated 9th November, 2010, application moved by the prosecution for summoning of Kishan at his permanent address was allowed giving one last opportunity.Kishan Kumar could not be served and on 27th November, 2010, the trial court denied further opportunity for summoning Kishan Kumar.The call details of mobile number 9812170312 were not produced and filed.PW-9 was not Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 9 of 19 asked and called to file the same.The Investigating Officer did not collect the said details and place them on record, inspite of the prosecution version that they reached PW-15 and then PW-14 through the call details.There is no explanation and reason why these were not produced and filed in court.This creates doubt about the recovery of the phone of the deceased.This aspect has been also referred to below.A. 187/2012 Page 9 of 19A. 187/2012 Page 10 of 19A. 187/2012 Page 11 of 19It is not very clear how ASI Radha Krishnan (PW-1) got the call details of the telephone number of the deceased.There is no evidence or material to show that any application was made to the service provider, i.e. Bharti Airtel for providing the said details.No evidence or material has been produced on record to show that Bharti Airtel had informed and given the said details.As per the prosecution case, mobile phone of the deceased was not with Vijay Singh (PW-10).ASI Radha Krishna (PW-1) has stated that the number was an unknown number.This causes grave suspicion and doubt regarding the prosecution version about how they reached Amit and then Jai Bhagwan and the appellant Promod.PW-12 had stated that ASI Radha Krishan (PW-1) had got the call details of mobile phone of Giriraj, the deceased, from ACP's office.This is not stated by PW-1, ASI Radha Krishan.The call details placed on record for 9971551348 (Exhibit PW-11/A) for 26th April 2009 was generated, as per the printout from the system on 28th April 2010 at 4:35:44 PM.After the phone call to telephone no. 9958293716, there were two more phone calls.Prosecution has not placed names and details of the person to/from whom these calls were made and received.What was the conversation between the deceased and the said person is not stated.If the call details were obtained on 27th April, 2009, then the same should have been placed on record.This was relevant and important in the present case keeping in view the nature, type, character and quality of evidence relied and collected by the prosecution.When the prosecution states that part material and details have been selectively brought on record or Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 12 of 19 investigated, it takes a risk when there is a substantial degree of doubt on quality and credibility of the said evidence.In such cases, the failure to place material/evidence or fully investigate and collect evidence can result in the accused getting benefit of doubt.On the same ground, four other aspects were noticed:-A. 187/2012 Page 12 of 19(a) The appellant is an illiterate person and a rickshaw puller.He did not even have a mobile phone.How did he come to know about the telephone number of the deceased is not stated or indicated? The application form and the subscriber details of the telephone number 9958293716 have not been produced and brought on record by the prosecution.We do not know who the recorded subscriber of this telephone number is.(b) Photographs of the deceased marked Exhibit PW8 A7 and PW8 A8 show wound on the back side of the head and substantial blood had oozed out.On the said aspect there is no investigation.(c) As noticed and considered above, PW-12's statement u/s 161 was recorded on 28-4-2009 after the dead body had been recovered and not before recovery of the dead body and arrest of the appellant.(d) The charge sheet filled before the trial court states that, Jai Bhagwan and Amit, alleged accused persons were thoroughly interrogated in front of the complainant and his relatives but they were let off as Amit was Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 13 of 19 working and Jai Bhagwan was present in his house.The charge sheet records that Amit was working as a sweeper at Sec-9 Metro Station up to 10 PM that day.Charge sheet further goes on to state that his presence in CCTV footage was seen.The prosecution did not put forth these footages for the Court to examine.If accused Pramod had approached Amit, to borrow a phone, CCTV recording of Amit's movement on the said day at the relevant time was material and crucial evidence.CCTV recording of Amit, it is apparent, was seen but either not taken on record or filed/produced before the Court.In these circumstances, it is not understandable, why and for what reasons, police officers have denied and have stated that they did not go in search of appellant Pramod after they were able to speak to Amit (PW-6) and had been able to locate Jai Bhagwan at the said metro station.PW-12 Gajanand who was with the police throughout and Vijay Singh (PW-10) on 27 and 28th April, 2009, has stated as under:-""After that I along with ASI Radha Krishan, Vijay, Raja Ram, Kamal and some other public persons went to Sector- 9, metro station Dwarka.Amit met us in the parking of Crl.A. 187/2012 Page 14 of 19 Metro Station.He was interrogated by ASI Radha Krishan who told us that accused Pramod was introduced to him by one Jai Bhagwan and with his assistance Jai Bhagwan, an employee in Metro Station Sector-9, Dwarka was located.On interrogation, Jai Bhagwan disclosed that he had arranged a rickshaw for accused Pramod on hire basis and he was residing somewhere in Pochanpur village.A. 187/2012 Page 14 of 19Next day with the help of Amit and Jai Bhagwan, we along with police officials reached house of accused Pramod present in court today (currently identified by witness) who was found present at his room.On interrogation, accused Pramod gave his disclosure statement already Ex-PW10/F bearing signature at point B. Then accused led us to the place where dead body of Giriraj was lying in an open park Sector-20, Dwarka, opposite CNG Filling station.In the meantime, someone informed local police at PS Dwarka about the dead body lying in the park on which local police also reached there.Statement of Vijay was recorded by SI Narender and got the case registered against accused Pramod.""This creates a doubt about discovery of the dead body pursuant the alleged statement of the appellant.Examination of site plan Ex. PW5/A shows that the recovery of the dead body was made from the park adjacent to the main road having a foot path.The body had decomposed.A foul smell was there.Body was found after one and a half day on 28th April, 2009 morning.It is difficult to accept and believe that no one had noticed the said body during this period and for over 24 hours in a park and when there was a foul smell.A. 187/2012 Page 15 of 1925. PW-12 has stated that on 28th April,2009, they with the help of Jai Bhagwan, Amit and the Police Officers went and arrested Pramod.As per Vijay Singh (PW-10), he along with Raja Ram, Kamal, Gajanand and other neighbours had gone and apprehended Pramod and no police officer was present.Police officials have denied their presence but the statement of PW-12 is clear and categorical.He was not declared hostile and cross examined on the said statement on this vital aspect.In case a police officer was present at the time when the appellant was apprehended from his home in the morning on 28th April, 2009, then the extra judicial confession is not admissible except to the extent permitted by Section 27 of the Evidence Act. Thus the alleged extra judicial confession by Pramod to Vijay Singh (PW-10) and Gajanand (PW-12), that he had murdered his father, is not admissible.There is evidence on record that the appellant Pramod and Jai Bhagwan were badly beaten up.As per the statement of Amar Pal Singh (PW-18), they were not wearing any clothes except underwear when they were arrested/detained on 28 th April, 2009 in the morning.PW10/F and PW10/H.

An abraded ligature mark was present over the front and sides of neck, 9 cm below the chin in the midline and 6cm from the left and right angles of jaw on either side.The mark was 2-3 cm in width and 16 cm long.Total circumference of neck was 42 cm.The mark was interrupted and horizontally placed at the level of thyroid cartilage.Abrasion 18x6 cm was present over outer aspect of left hand.On internal examination effusion of blood was present over left parietal region of the head.A No.730/2012 Page 8 of 29 offence and opine regarding the injuries found on the dead bodies.A blood stained steel knife was received by him and he prepared the sketch of the same.After examining the knife, PW.22 opined that injuries nos. 1 to 13 on the body of Tej Ram could have been caused by the knife which he had examined.A Blood stained nylon rope was also sent to him for examination and report about the injuries on the person of Hans Raj.After examining the rope, PW.22 opined that the ligature strangulation on the body of the deceased Hans Raj could have been caused by the rope.A No.730/2012 Page 8 of 29Thus it is apparent that Tej Ram and Hans Raj died a homicidal death.Tej Ram Saini was killed by means of a knife, whereas deceased Hans Raj was throttled to death.On 27.8.2008, PW.5 received a call Crl.A No.730/2012 Page 12 of 29 from the police station Kotputli where he reached along with 3-4 of his relatives and met the police officials from PS Timarpur, Delhi.The later part of his deposition would be referred to by us later when we deal with the recovery of the truck in question.A No.730/2012 Page 12 of 29Pradeep Kumar (PW.10) confirmed that Prashant Sharma (PW.17) had asked for the mineral powder.From the deposition of the aforementioned witnesses, it is apparent that the truck of which the deceased persons were the driver and the helper/cleaner, was brought to the godown of PW.9 and the consignment was unloaded at night.The testimonies of PW.24, read in conjunction with that of PWs.5, 8, 9, 10, 15, 17 make it very obvious that the appellant Khalid was at the godown along with others to unload the consignment and thereafter the deceased persons as well as the appellant were not seen.Learned counsel appearing for the appellant urged that the evidence with respect to the appellant being last seen with the deceased could not be treated as material as there was a large time gap between the appellants having been seen with the deceased persons and the approximate time of death.A No.730/2012 Page 13 of 29Such a contention does not have any force as the dead bodies were kept in Subzi mandi mortuary for nobody came forward from 24.8.2008 till 28.8.2008 for their identification.Subsequently the bodies were identified.The other contention of the appellant that in the absence of any documentation with respect to the employment of PW.24 at the godown, he cannot be believed and be treated as a reliable witness with respect to his having last seen the appellant with the deceased, also has no force.It is a matter of common knowledge that under a private employment such formalities are not adhered to and executed and it would be too much for PW.24 to have produced any document suggesting that he was under the employment of PW.9, the owner of the godown.Oral depositions on these aspects should be accepted.Thus there is no reason to disbelieve or doubt the aforesaid witnesses with respect to the vehicle having come to the godown of Crl.The application for police remand had remained pending.On 31 st August, 2008, police custody of appellant-Khalid was taken for three days but on the said date the appellant did not cooperate.On 1 st September, 2008, the appellant-Khalid was taken from the police lock up.A No.730/2012 Page 19 of 29 Kotputli on 27th August, 2008 and that on 29th August, 2008 they kept on looking for the accused, including those, who have not been arrested.On 30th August, 2008, they had produced appellant-Khalid in the court.Khalid was sent to judicial custody.On 1st September, 2008 at about 4 to 4.30 P.M. the court granted police custody of the appellant-Khalid, and thereupon the appellant-Khalid was interrogated before being taken to Faridabad in a private car.A No.730/2012 Page 21 of 29A No.730/2012 Page 22 of 29A No.730/2012 Page 23 of 29What is clear to us from the testimony of Ram Vilas (PW-5) that the said witness got confused about the dates, apparently because of passage of time and also because of the fact that he came to Delhi on several occasions.In case the stolen vehicle had been recovered or found by any police team, it would have been flashed and uploaded on the police network.Faridabad police, had they taken the truck in their custody, would have necessarily made and recorded entries in the police diary.Intimation or inquiries would have been made from the State Transport Authority.The truck was examined by Sh.V. Shankaranarayanan (PW.21) and Sh.PW.21 in his report, which is exhibit PW21/A, has stated that blood was detected on the rooftop of the drivers cabin, truck cover, rope and towel.The said blood stains were lifted and sent for chemical examination.However no conclusive blood grouping could be recovered from the aforementioned samples.The biological report is exhibit PW26/A and serological report exhibit PW26/A No.730/2012 Page 24 of 29Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is in the nature of partial removal of ban placed on the reception of confessional statement under section 25 of the Evidence Act. It lays down that where any fact is deposed to as discovered in consequence of Crl.A No.730/2012 Page 25 of 29 information received from a person accused of an offence, in the custody of a police officer, so much of the information, whether it amounts to confession or not, as relates distinctly to the fact thereby discovered, may be proved.We have noticed that the truck was parked at a lonely/desolate place and in presence of PW.5, the same was recovered at the instance of the appellant.A No.730/2012 Page 25 of 29The other incriminating evidence sought to be relied upon against the appellant as one of the perpetrators of the crime, is the recovery of knife, the weapon of assault, used by the appellant.The appellant took the police officials at a place near Chandi Ram Amhara towards ISBT, and on his pointing out a knife was recovered.PW.6, PW.20 and PW.23 have testified with respect to recovery of knife.The recovery has been challenged on the ground that no public witness at the time of recovery joined the investigation, despite the place of recovery being a crowded one and that the recovery memo discloses the knife to be blood smeared, whereas FSL report (Exhibit PW26/A) is to the contrary and it says that no blood could be detected on the knife.A No.730/2012 Page 26 of 29A No.730/2012 Page 26 of 29There is no reason for us to doubt that the disclosure leading to the recovery of the truck, was not voluntary.A No.730/2012 Page 28 of 29Once the evidence of the appellant having been last seen with the deceased and the recovery of the truck is found to be true and proved, the appellant loses his right to be set free.TCR be returned forthwith.A No.730/2012 Page 29 of 29","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 392 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

JUSTICE P.S.TEJI P.S.TEJI, JBy this appeal filed under Section 374 of Cr. P.C., the appellants seek to challenge the impugned judgment dated 21.05.2001, passed in SC No.164/1999 in a case registered as FIR No. 548/1998 under Section 307/308/186/353/34 of IPC read with Section 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act, at Police Station Seelampur, Delhi.The appellant also seeks to challenge the order on sentence dated 24.05.2001, whereby they have been sentenced as follows:b) Appellant - Yunus is sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of 5 years for the offence under Section 308 of IPC and payment of fine of Rs.3,000/-, in default, to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months each; andc) Appellants - Kasim and Yunus were further sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months each for offences under Section 186/353/34 of IPC and rigorous imprisonment for three months for the offence under Section 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act.In the meantime, Inspector Tej Pal singh, SHO of Police Station Seelampur arrived at the spot.Both the accused were arrested and challened for offences under Section 307/308/186/353/34 of IPC, to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.A. No. 536/2001 Page 2 of 14However, both the appellants did not lead any defence evidence in their support.To prove the charges against the appellant, the prosecution examined 19 witnesses.A. No. 536/2001 Page 4 of 1415); Shakeel (PW-16); Sh.A.R. Arora (PW-17); Dr. Satish Mishra, Surgery Sr.Resident, GTB, (PW-18); and Dr. S.D. Bisht, Sushrut Trauma Centre, LNJP Hospital (PW-19).Upon considering the facts, evidence led and the material on record, the learned Additional Sessions Judge held the appellant - Kasim guilty for offence punishable under Sections 307 of IPC read with Section 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act and appellant - Yunus guilty for the offence under Section 308 IPC read with Section 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act, by impugned judgment dated 21.05.2001, and vide order on sentence dated 24.05.2001 and the appellants were sentenced as indicated above.Hence, the appellants have filed the instant appeal against the impugned judgment and order on sentence passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge.The main grounds of challenge are that there are contradictions in the statement of the prosecution witnesses and the prosecution has miserably failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubts.Even the prosecution witness Shakeel (PW-16) who was allegedly being beaten by the appellant has been declared hostile; Constable Ripu Daman (PW-9) in his cross-examination deposed that he could not see the faces of the appellants and on the other hand he deposed that he had seen Yunus first time in the hospital.Even the star witness Kishan Lal (PW-4) has denied having made any statement before the police and in his cross-examination stated that he had caught the accused Kasim at a Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 5 of 14 distance of 15 minutes running.It is further contended that as per the prosecution case the appellants were arrested at the spot, but the DD No.11A states that an information was received from wireless Operator through intercom that somebody had fired a shot on a police constable, he was taken to the hospital and the assailants had run away.It is further contended that the Head Constable Dinesh (PW-5) who belongs to PCR and arrived at the spot first of all and deposed that one public witness had told him that one constable had been fired.He stated that they found the constable at the spot lying and removed him to the hospital, but he nowhere stated that accused were arrested on the spot.It is further argued that PW-6 Constable Mohar Singh who was accompanying with Inspector Maharaj Singh (PW-10) to the spot, did not state a word regarding the arrest of the appellants on the spot.It is further argued that no documentary evidence was produced to show that constable Ripudaman was on duty at the place of incident.Regarding medical evidence, it is argued that Dr. R. Dahal (PW-15) and Dr. S.D. Bisht (PW-19) who medically examined and gave their opinion regarding Constable Ripudaman in his cross- examination, Dr. R. Dayal admitted that he had not removed the Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 6 of 14 pellets, rather he admitted that there would be blackening and tattooing on the body if the short is fired from a short distance.The X- ray taken is also not on record.Similarly, Dr. S.D. Bisht in his cross- examination deposed that he could not remember the length and breadth of the injuries received by the patient and without going through the records, he could not give an opinion about the nature of the injuries as the same were made simple or grievous.He further deposed that without record, he could not tell the distance of firing.Therefore from the deposition of the doctors, it is clear that the prosecution is of a simple hurt, which falls at best within the purview of Section 323 of IPC.Therefore, in such a situation, the appeal filed by the appellants be allowed and they be given the benefit of doubt.A. No. 536/2001 Page 5 of 14A. No. 536/2001 Page 6 of 14Per contra, argument advanced by learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State is that the accused/appellants were rightly held guilty, the appellant - Kasim under Section 307 of the IPC inasmuch as he had inflicted a gun shot at the complainant and the appellant - Yunus for the offence under Section 308 of IPC as he had given a blow with the butt of his country made pistol on the head of Kishan Lal.More so, there is recovery of pistol, eight live cartridges, one empty cartridge, one dagger at the instance of the appellants.Therefore, the prosecution has successfully proven the offence of the appellants beyond all reasonable doubts and in such circumstances, the impugned judgment and order on sentence passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge do not call for any interference and the same are liable to be upheld.A. No. 536/2001 Page 7 of 14I have heard the submissions made on behalf of the State and gone through the petition, impugned judgment and order on sentence and the material available on record.Constable Ripudaman (PW-9) had deposed in his statement that on the date of incident i.e. 6.8.1998 at about 11.40 am, he was present near Red light, Shastri Park and while on patrolling duty, he saw a boy being beaten by another boy.He tried to separate them and rescue the boy, but the boy who was bearing the other one, took out a desi katta from one side of his body.He immediately gave a danda blow to him.Another boy who was standing near by, had fired at him from a desi katta of which the bullet hit him on his back.It was subsequently revealed that the person who had been hit on his head was Kishan and the boy who was beating that boy was Yunus.During his deposition, he identified both the assailants in the hospital, who fired a shot on Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 8 of 14 him and had hit Kishan on his head and beaten another boy.A. No. 536/2001 Page 8 of 14Kishan Lal (PW-4) who was the eye-witness to the incident had deposed in his statement before court that on 6.8.1998 at about 11/11.30 AM, he was standing outside his house and heard a sound of DHAMAKA.He looked to the right side of the road and saw one constable falling.He went there and enquired as to what had happened.He was told that two boys had run after firing a shot on the constable.He further deposed that one of the accused was having katta in his hand and pointed out towards the appellant - Kasim.He deposed that he held Kasim and snatched the katta from his hand.When he was snatching the katta, he shouted and told the other accused - Yunus to kill him whereupon the witness pointed out towards the appellant - Yunus.He deposed that the appellant - Yunus took out a katta and fired a shot aiming at him but he fell down and was saved from the shot and thereafter Yunus hit the butt of the katta on his head.He further deposed that he handed over accused Kasim to the SHO as well as the katta.It has further come in his deposition that from the search of appellant - Kasim, eight live cartridges from his pocket were recovered.Apart from this, appellant - Kasim was having one chhura kept in his leg with the help of his socks.He deposed that he had sustained injury on his head on being hit with the katta butt by accused Yunus.He alongwith two accused where taken to GTB hosital and he was medically examined by the police.Dr. B.Narain, CMO GTB Hospital, Delhi (PW-3) deposed in his statement that he had examined Kishan Lal and prepared his MLC Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 9 of 14 (Ex. PW-3/A).Resident Surgery, he had given the opinion on the MLC (Ex. PW- 15/A and Ex. PW-18/A) as being grievous.A. No. 536/2001 Page 9 of 14This court also perused the MLC of Krishan (Ex.PW-3/A) and according to that, injured had swelling and tenderness in occeptal area of scull and the injury was opinied by the doctor to be of simple in nature with blunt object.Another MLC of Constable Ripu Daman (Ex.PW-15/A) was also perused by this court, which shows that the patient was having injury of gun shot with multiple pellets, one and half inch diameter at lower back; no blackening and tatowing of area.The doctor has opined the injury to have been caused by gun shot.Perusal of the impugned judgment passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge reveals that the appellant - Kasim has been convicted for 307 IPC on the basis of statement of injured and eye- witness as well as of independent witness Kishan Lal and on the basis of the MLC of the injured upon which the doctor has opined the injuries being inflicted through gun shot.For ready reference, Section 307 of the IPC which reads as follows is provided hereunder:""Whoever does any act with such intention or knowledge, and under such circumstances that, if he by that act caused death, he would be guilty of murder, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be Crl.The determinative question is intention or knowledge, as the case may be, and not the Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 11 of 14 nature of injury.A. No. 536/2001 Page 11 of 14Likewise, vide Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 12 of 14 impugned judgment the appellant - Yunus has been held guilty for the offence under Section 308 IPC and Section 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act on the premise of the statement of Kishan Lal who in his deposition speicifcally stated that appellant - Yunus gave a blow with a butt of his country made pistol on the head.Now on the quantum of sentence, this court observes that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has awarded the sentence of 7 years rigorous imprisonment to the appellant - Kasim for the offence under Section 307 IPC and 5 years rigorous imprisonment to the appellant - Yunus for the offence under Section 308 of IPC.Considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, and the fact that the incident in question is of the year 1998 and the appellants have faced the agony of trial for the last more than 19 years, this court is of the considered opinion that the interest of justice would be met if the sentence imposed upon the appellant - Kasim is reduced to the period of 5 years for the offence under Section 307 of IPC and the sentence Crl.A. No. 536/2001 Page 13 of 14 imposed upon the appellant - Yunus is reduced to the period of 3 years for the offence under Section 308 of IPC years.However, the sentence under Section 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act awarded to both the appellants shall remain the same with direction of running all the sentences concurrently.It is ordered accordingly.A. No. 536/2001 Page 13 of 14Resultantly, finding no merit in the appeal, the appeal filed by the appellants is dismissed thereby upholding the impugned judgment dated 21.05.2001 and modifying the order on sentence dated 24.05.2001 to the extent indicated above.The appellants are on bail.They are directed to surrender before the trial court concerned within a period of 15 days to serve the remainder of the sentence of imprisonment.A copy of this order be sent to the Trial Court for information and necessary steps.With aforesaid directions, the present appeal is disposed of.(P.S.TEJI) JUDGE JULY 04, 2017 pkb Crl.A.

+"They have challenged their conviction and sentence for the offence punishable under Section 394 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code.We have heard learned counsel for the applicants.We have also heard learned counsel appearing in the above two applications on behalf of the State.The sum and substance of the allegation on the basis of which the trial proceeded was that on 10.02.2016 at about 10.45 p.m. the victim requested for a lift in a Scorpio vehicle from Ultadanga Hudco more to Ruby and that the victim was permitted to enter the car on his agreeing to pay Rs.20/- for the lift; that thereafter, accused nos. 1, 2 and 3, of whom one was driving the vehicle, stopped the vehicle at a distant place en-route to Ruby and thereafter threatened the victim and also assaulted him by punching with hand and the victim was also threatened of harm using a screw driver; all intended to extract out of the victim his personal belongings including money and ATM cards.According to the prosecution appropos the threat, the wallet of the victim was taken by the three persons and they stopped in an ATM to draw money from the account of the victim.Though the victim did not share the ATM PIN, it was for the purpose of non-disclosure of ATM PIN that the accused persons further threatened the victim.It appears that in the T.I. Parade and in Court the victim identified the accused persons.The recovery evidenced by the search and seizure lists tends to indicate that the same material was recovered from the three accused persons.The possibility of the case in hand being one squarely falling under Sections 394 or 397 of the Indian Penal Code or one which could be tapered down to lower counts are matters that deserve to be examined.The applications being CRAN 4068 of 2019 and CRAN 4172 of 2019 are, thus, disposed of.Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties on usual undertakings.[Thottathil B.

Moharir, J.The appellants here are the original accused Nos. 1 to 5 who were, alongwith seven others tried for commission under sections 147, 148, 307 read with section 149 of I.P.C. as also under section 37(i), (iii) read with section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. While accused Nos. 6 to 12 were all acquitted of the above stated charges as also the charge under 201 of the I.P.C. For the offence under section 307 read with section 149 of I.P.C., each of these appellants/accused Nos. 1 to 5 was sentenced to suffer R.I. For four years and a fine of Rs. 250/- i/d of each to undergo further R.I. for 6 months.For the offence under section 148 of the I.P.C., each of them was sentenced to R.I. for 6 months and no separate sentence was awarded for the offence under section 147 of the I.P.C. The substantive sentence were directed to run concurrently.The five appellants and seven others who were acquitted all came to be prosecuted of the following as case put forth by the prosecution:The accused No. 1 Rajabhau Rasal had an elder brother by name Sudhir.In the year 1980 Sudhir was murdered by Manohar Vir who is the victim of the attempt to commit murder in this case.Manohar Vir was tried by the Session Court at Solapur, for the offence under section 302 of the I.P.C., who apparently came to be convicted under section 304(ii) of the I.P.C. He was sentenced to R.I. for 5 years.The fact that Manohar Vir was lay off lightly for the murder of his brother, was not taken lightly by the accused No. 1 Rajabhau Rasal.The desire to wreck vengence upon him and punish him life for life, to crowd in the mind of the accused No. 1, when Manohar Vir was thus lay off lightly as considered by him.With revenge overwhelming him, he was on the look out to punish Manohar Vir appropriately i.e. by doing his murder also.It was with that object that the accused Nos. 1 to 9 all friends and associates of the accused No. 1, formed an unlawful assembly, armed with deadly weapons.The accused No. 1 and 2 armed with swords, the accused No. 3 with a hockey stick, the accused No. 4 with iron bar, and the accused No. 5 with a hollow iron pipe, started on 9-10-1985 at about 12 noon, looking out for Manohar Vir.They went about in two autorickshaws of which the accused No. 10 and 11 were the drivers.They found Manohar Vir standing infront of the Bhagwat Petrol Pump and on citing him, the two autorickshaws stopped.The accused persons rushed out of the vehicles.The accused No. 1 in the lead armed with the sword, first struck a blow to Manohar on the head.Frightened at the suddenness of this attack on him, Manohar Vir, ran in the direction of the residence of the Police Inspector Atmaram Yadao.At a distance of about 1 k.m.He is a cousin of Manohar Vir.The accused Nos. 1 and 2 riding together in the third autorickshaw, passed by the restaurant of Madhukar Satarkar, while the two other autorickshaws carrying the accused persons sped away towards Latur.Slowing down the autorickshaw briefly, the accused No. 2 delivered a threat to Madhukar Satarkar also saying one is already finished and they will now burn down his hotel also.When Manohar Vir was attacked near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump and ran in the direction of the Police Inspector's bungalow, the accused persons while chasing him, raised shouts ""catch him, beat him, kill him"".The commotion thus caused a noise and the shoutings fell on the ears of Madan Bobde P.W. 9, who is the maternal uncle of Manohar Vir and an employee of the Municipal Council, Barsi, in the Boiler Department.His house is on the Latur Kurduwadi road in Shivaji Akhada area.At a short distance from where the incident of the attack on Manohar Vir at the Bhagwant Petrol Pump occurred, he, therefore, came out of the house all the while still taking his meal.He went upto the railway line which passes nearby and watched from there.He saw Manohar Vir running into the compound of the Police Inspector's bungalow and then the accused persons in not chased catching up with him, attacking him with swords and other weapons and then leaving him, considering him to be dead and speeding away in the autorickshaws.Like Madan Bobde P.W. 9, the occurrence was eye witnessed by Shivaji Parse P.W. 6 also.However, he had witnessed the entire occurrence starting with first attack on Manohar Vir at the Bhagwat Petrol Pump.He went on foot after the assailants, in the direction of the Police Inspector's bungalow and witnessed the entire incident including the accused persons leaving the place in the autorickshaws.Similarly Vishnu Vidhate P.W. 7, also saw the incident while he was returning to his Radio Repairing Shop, situated opposite the Police Inspector's bungalow, after taking his mid day meal at his house which is on the back side of the Bhagwat Petrol Pump.Madan Bobde, Shivaji Parse and two others by name Appa-Pappa Kandalkar and Bapu Raut then carried the injured and unconscious Manohar Vir to the Municipal Council Jawaharlal Hospital, Barsi.The Medical Officer Dr. Gaekwad P.W. 8, was no duty.He examined Manohar Vir in his unconscious condition, noted the several injuries, all incised wounds on his person and having regard to the critical condition advised that Manohar be taken to the Barsi Maternity and General Co-operative Hospital, where Dr. Hiremath P.W. 1 was the Chief Medical Officer.It was between 12-15 and 12-30 noon that the incident took place and it was by about 1-15 p.m. that Manohar Vir was finally admitted in the hospital of Dr. Hiremath.The Chief Medical Officer noted the critical condition and opined that immediate surgery was necessary.The necessary consent for surgery having been obtained on the case papers of the patient, Manohar Vir was operated upon successfully.The offence was registered against all these accused persons and wireless messages were immediately sent out as the culprit were reported to have sped away in the direction of Latur in autorickshaws.One of the message was also sent to the Pangari Police Station.P.S.I. Dange P.W. 18 having received the message, took steps to apprehend the accused persons.He first went to the village Kuslumb with his staff and learnt that autorickshaws and gone towards Yermala and, therefore, he want to Yermala also but there again he learnt that the rickshaws had gone towards a city of Bid.He requisitioned the services of motor truck for the pursuit.They were apprehended and the autorickshaws also seized and attached and sent to the Pangari Police Station.He further went ahead in search of the other accused persons upto Kunthalgiri and saw one Matador.The driver of the matador informed him that the he had taken some of the accused persons to the village Bhum in the said matador.He went to Bhum also and searched for the accused persons but they could not be traced.At Barsi the town Police Inspector Atmaram Yadao was out of station.He had gone to Pune in connection with the investigation of some other offence.He sent a Yadi to the Special Executive Magistrate for recording the statement of Manohar Vir.However, Manohar Vir apparently regained consciousness only on the 10th October 985 i.e. the next day in the morning.It was only then that his statement was recorded.P.S.I. Patil also drawn a panchanama of the scene of the offence, the spot at the Bhagwant Petrol Pump, and the premises of the Police Inspector's residence.At the spot near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump, he found one single chappal of the left foot and seized it.In the compound of the Police Inspector's bungalow, apart from observing the pool of blood, by the injuries received by Manohar Vir, he also found an iron bar (article No. 10) and the broken sword handle.These were also seized by him.By 10-30 p.m. Police Inspector Yadao, having received wireless message about the present incident, returned to Barsi from Pune.He then took over the investigation.On 10-10-1985 under the orders of Police Inspector Yadao, P.S.I. Patil seized the blood stained articles of clothing on the person of Manohar Vir under the panchanama Exh. 29 at Dr. Hiremath's Hospital (article Nos. 25 to 28).Obviously his object was to enter in the residence of the Police Inspector and seek protection against the accused persons who were after his life.To his misfortune the house was found locked.The accused persons, some of them through the gate of the compound, and some others through the wire fencing rushed at Manohar Vir and blows were struck to him, first by the accused No. 3 Somnath with the hockey stick, whereupon he fell down.He was then struck with the sword on the neck and else where on the body and lay bleeding and became unconscious.With victory thus achieved some one from these group of assailants loudly said, ""he is dead, let us go now"".So same the accused persons got into the autorickshaws and sped away in the direction of Latur.He also obtained a copy of Manohar Vir's statement recorded by the Special Executive Magistrate and handed over the same to the Police Inspector.Again under the orders of the Police Inspector Yadao, he also carried out the search of the accused Nos. 5, 6, 7 and 8 but nothing incriminating was found.The accused Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 were all arrested on 16-10-1985 when they appeared at the Police Station which was after their application dated 12-10-1985 for grant of anticipatory bail was rejected on 15-10-1985 by the Sessions Judge.Police Custody remand of these accused persons had been obtained and during such police custody remand, following a statement duly recorded under section 27, the sword (article No. 7) was also recovered.The autorickshaw which has been used by the accused Nos. 1 to 4 for their escape was also attached and the accused No. 12 Gafar Saudagar as the driver thereof was also arrested.He visited Yermala to record the statement of the witnesses also.When the accused No. 1 was arrested, upon his surrendering himself at the Police Station at 2.45 p.m., he had found that the (accused No. 1) had injuries on the middle finger and the palm of the left hand.He, therefore, sent the accused No. 1 for medical examination and injury report to Dr. Gaekwad at the Municipal Council Jawaharlal Hospital.The chappal which had been found near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump, was found to fit on the left foot of the accused No. 2 Nagnath.During the interrogation all the accused persons, other a second sword, hockey stick and sticks etc. also came to be recovered following the statement of discovery of certain other accused persons.Eventually upon completion of the investigation, the charge-sheet was presented against all the 12 accused persons as stated above.To the charge as framed at Exh. 2, all these 12 accused persons pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.Their defence was of a total denial.Denying the truth of every so far as piece of evidence which came to be led against them, they also filed separate written statements to spell out their further defence.On arrival at Barsi, they learnt about this incident of the attack on Manohar Vir and feeling that since the accused No. 1 was the brother of Sudhir, who had been murdered by Manohar Vir, they would be suspected of having taken revenge upon Manohar Vir, and since they also learnt that complaint had been actually accordingly lodged against them, and further that the Police were in search of them, they decided to leave Barsi, using the motorcycle they went upto tourist hotel on the Latur road.They left the motorcycle there with instructions to the proprietor of the hotel that it be returned to Kanta Shalu.They then returned to Barsi, took their clothes in the bag and went to Solapur, where they met the accused Nos. 3 and 4 also.During the period between 12th and 15th October 1985, they submitted that Police Inspector Yadao had actually met them on some occasions.According to them, they had absolutely no concern whatsoever in the incident of the attack on Manohar Vir.No complicity therein could be attributed to them.The accused No. 1 also gave an explanation for the two cut injuries on his left hand, as caused while doing some household work.When they learnt about this incident, of the attack on Manohar Vir, they suspected that the accused No. 1 would be suspected and held responsible.They apprehended that being his friends, they would also come in trouble.Then they proceeded to Solapur deciding to apply for anticipatory bail.They denied like the accused Nos. 1 and 2 that they were still wearing any blood stained articles of clothing when they surrendered at the Police Station Barsi on 16-10-1985 or that such blood stained articles of clothing were attached from their person.Their contention was that on 9-10-1985 Wednesday, was the Bazar day at village Vasi, Taluka Bhoom.Live stock is sold in that market.Because of the severe drought conditions, cattle owners had been selling away their live stock.They had learnt that cows of jearsy breed which yield good milk in quantity were also being sold cheaply.Desiring to purchase that breed of cows, they had, therefore, decided to go to Vasi.They had intended to catch S.T. bus at 12 noon from Barsi.By the time they reached the Bus Station, bus for Vasi had already left.Apprehending that they would thus mis-unattending the cattle market, they engaged two autorickshaws driven by the accused Nos. 10 and 11 and proceeded towards Vasi from Barsi.On the way, between village Yermala and Vasi, their autorickshaws had tried to over take a bus at a road junction.In the attempt to over take, one of the two autorickshaws turned turtle.It was then that the Police Sub-Inspector Patil also came there and apprehended all of them and took them to Barsi.Their plea is that they have, therefore, been falsely implicated only because they were the friends of accused No. 1 Rajabhau Rasal.Even after taking into consideration the criticism levelled against each of these three eye witnesses, he found their evidence cogent and reliable, more particularly the evidence of the witness Vishnu Vidhate P.W. 7 was also found to be that of totally disinterested witness.It was upon such corroboration which the testimony of the victim Manohar Vir, P.W. 10, thus received that the learned Judge found the accused Nos. 1 to 5 has fully and inexplicably implicated.This was apart from the fact that the evidence from two medical witnesses Dr. Gaekwad and Dr. Hiremath also supported the eye witnesses.In his very detailed judgment exhaustively considering all evidence, the learned Judge observed that the first information report Exh. 53 came from Madan Bobde P.W. 9 as himself an eye witness to the incident.He noted that the incident had been witnessed by Shivaji Parse P.W. 6 right from the beginning i.e. when attack on Manohar Vir is started near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump and when thereafter he ran into the compound of the Police Inspector's bungalow, hotly chased by the accused persons.He had that the accused Nos. 1 and 2 had used swords, the accused No. 3 a hockey stick and the accused No. 5 a hollow iron pipe for attacking Manohar Vir, when they caught up with him in the courtyard of the Police Inspector's residence.He also found that there was no person present in the bungalow of the Police Inspector Atmaram Yadao as the latter had gone to Pune for investigational work.He also noted that when Manohar Vir was taken to the Municipal Council Jawaharlal Hospital in the first instance, the Medical Officer Dr. Gaekwad there had immediately sent information to the Police Inspector at Barsi Police Station.It was received there at about 1 p.m. He also noted that Manohar Vir could not be properly treated there and was, therefore, on the advice of Dr. Gaekwad taken to and treated at the Barsi Maternity and General Co-operative Hospital headed by Dr. Hiremath, for appropriate urgent and special treatment.The learned Additional Sessions Judge dealt with the submission of the defence Counsel that the accused persons had come to be charged only a suspicion.The submission being founded on the fact though Manohar Vir's compliant Exh. 53 had come to be lodged only by 2 p.m. or before that, the message to the Pangari Police Station for catching specifically named suspects had already gone at 1.30 p.m. That submission though accepted by him as quite ingenious was not, however, tenable in his own.He also dealt with the submission only to reject it that Manohar Vir must have been quite conscious by the time a decision to operate upon him came to be taken for the reason that the consent to such surgery had been given by Manohar Vir himself.The argument was that even Manohar Vir was in a condition to understand the risk involved in a surgery and could yet give his consent to such surgery, then it was his complaint, that should and ought to have been recorded and not of Madan Bobde P.W. 9, for taking cognizance of offence if any.The evidence pertaining to the statements of discovery under section 27 of the Evidence Act made by the various accused persons, leading to the seizure of several weapon of offence, such as two swords, sticks iron bar and pipe etc. was unworthy to credit no doubt but the fact remained all the same a true one that the report of the Chemical Analyser at Exh. 31 established the presence of human blood of group 'B' on it, that being also the blood group for victim Manohar Vir.He also rejected as entirely artificial the prosecution evidence that the accused Nos. 1 to 4 had appeared at the Barsi Police Station on 16-10-1985 with blood stained articles clothing still on their person, so as to make use of the blood stained conditions of the clothes as providing a clue to the participation of the accused Nos. 1 to 4 in the commission of the offence.He rejected the accused No. 1's explanation as to the injuries on his middle finger and the palm of his left hand.He also noted that the evidence of P.S.I. Dange of the Pangari Police Station read even in the light of the written statements of the accused persons, established that they had been in a guilty flight after the incident.Thus the learned Additional Sessions Judge came to the conclusion upon his detailed assumption of all the prosecution evidence that it unmistakably established the accused Nos. 1 to 5 as the persons who alongwith others also formed an unlawful assembly with the object of seeking revenge upon Manohar Vir for his committing the murder of Sudhir Rasal, indulged in a ferocious and concerted attack upon the defenceless Manohar Vir and had attempted to commit his murder.While against the accused Nos. 6 to 12, the evidence was unsatisfactory, while the participation of the accused Nos. 10, 11 and 12 as the autorickshaw drivers was a very negligible part, unaccompanied by their seeing of any such common object, the complicity of the accused Nos. 6 to 9 was also a fact which had remained far from established.It is, therefore, that the accused Nos. 6 to 12 came to be acquitted and their acquittal has not been, as stated at the bar by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, challenged either by an appeal against such acquittal.The accused Nos. 1 to 5 had, however, came to be convicted and sentenced as stated above and they have taken exception both to their conviction and the sentences as awarded to them by the learned Additional Sessions Judge.Both the learned Counsel Shri Patil for these appellants and the Additional Public Prosecutor for the State have taken me in almost a minute detail through the entire prosecution evidence.The finding of their guilt under section 147 and 148 as also under section 307 read section 149 of the I.P.C. is challenged by Shri Patil upon a variety of contentions and submissions.These may be briefly emnurated, before considering them in detail as under:Thirdly the evidence of the so called eye witnesses Vishnu Vidhate, Shivaji Parse and Mandan Bobde provided an indication that many persons had gathered infront of the Police Inspector's bungalow when the incident occurred and yet only interested and antagonistic persons had come to be examined as prosecution eye witnesses.These witnesses, it was also pointed out, atleast some of them were relatives of the injured Manohar Vir.It was next submitted that Manohar Vir must have been quite conscious on being taken to Dr. Hiremath's Hospital.The fact that the he gave consent to surgical operation, established that fact.Therefore, the complaint as lodged by Madan Bobde P.W. 9 was of doubtful merit as the first information report for implicating the accused.It was rather upon the suspicion which Madan Bobde must have had that the complaint was founded.It was also contended that the version of Manda Bobde P.W. 9 and Shivaji Parse P.W. 6 as to who reached first near the injured Manohar Vir in the courtyard of the Police Inspector's bungalow must lead to the disbelief of both of them as eye witnesses.It was next submitted that no specific overt act on the part of the accused No. 4 had been proved by any prosecution witness.The evidence as to the statement of discovery made by the accused persons and following such statements the recovery of any things and articles such as weapons was of a concoction.It was also contended that the injury to the middle finger and the palm of the accused No. 1 had been well explained by him but erroneously rejected by the Trial Court and lastly the incident of the murder of Sudhir Rasal having taken place as far back as in the year 1980, Manohar Vir having undergone the sentence of imprisonment thereafter and even a period of about 11/2 years or more having passed after Manohar Vir's release from imprisonment, no proximate cause for the attack on Manohar Vir could be attributed either by Manohar Vir or the other prosecution witnesses.It is upon these contentions the appellants claimed that the erroneous conclusions and findings of their guilt arrived at by the Trial Court, should deserve to be set aside to acquit them.Manohar Vir P.W. 10 as the victim of the murderous attack on him deposed that at about 12 noon on 9-10-1985 he was standing infront of the Bhagwat Petrol Pump when the accused No. 1 Rajabhau Rasal, accused No. 2 Nagnath, No. 3 Somnath and accused No. 4 Chandrakant alongwith four or five others suddenly came in two autorickshaws.The accused No. 1 armed with a sword struck him on the head from his front side, causing a bleeding injury.Manohar Vir stated that with this first blow struck with the sword and, therefore, quite terrified, more so because the number of assailants who were against him and remembering that the Police Inspector's bungalow admittedly at only a short distance from the Bhagwat Petrol Pump, he ran in that direction.He wanted to run into the Police Inspector's residence to beseech him from protection.He has specifically stated that at the time when he saw the accused persons first at the spot infront of the bhagwant Petrol Pump, he had seen the accused No. 2 Nagnath also armed with a sword and the others with sticks and iron bars.He ran into the compound of the Inspector's bungalow through the gate and to his consternation as also disappointment found that the bungalow was locked and no one present inside.It is not in the evidence that the Police Inspector Atmaram Yadao's family was residing with him at that time.So far as the Police Inspector Atmaram Yadao P.W. 17 is concerned, his unchallenged and uncontroverted version is that on 9-10-1985 he was at Pune in connection with some investigation and, therefore, away from Barsi.These, therefore, explained so to why Manohar Vir found the bungalow locked.For it is also the evidence of Police Inspector Yadao that it was only when he received a wireless message at Pune about the present incident, that he decided to return to Barsi immediately and accordingly caught the bus to reach to Barsi by 10.30 p.m. This part of the version of Manohar Vir is thus duly corroborated.He states that the accused persons eventually caught up with him and attacked him and the accused No. 2 struck him with the sword on the head while others dealt blows with sticks and iron bars.He thereupon fell unconscious and did not know what happened.It was only on the next day in the morning that the found himself in Dr. Hiremath's Hospital.It was then on 10-10-1985 that his statement came to be recorded by the Special Executive Magistrate.I find that a reference to what this statement was, has come to be made by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, in his judgment.Specifically he appears to have omitted to have mentioned the accused No. 2 Nagnath as dealt any blow to him on the head as such.He stated that he was frightened no doubt but denied the suggestion that on account of that terrified condition as such, he could not see and remember as to who his assailants were or that he had named the accused-assailants upon any tuloring by Madan Bobde.There appears no reason to doubt the prosecution evidence that Manohar Vir's statement was first recorded only by the Special Executive Magistrate and this was on 10-10-1985 by which time Madan Bobde's complaint Exh. 53 has already been recorded a day before and secondly there is so evidence to indicate that prior to the Special Executive Magistrate's recording Manohar Vir's statement under section 164 Cr.P.C. there had been any contact or conversation between Manohar Vir and Madan Bobde, That suggestion was, therefore, quite futile one. ""Shivaji Parse P.W. 6 is an eye witness.He also admits that Manohar Vir had been convicted for the murder of Sudhir Rasal.Thus accused Nos. 1 to 3 and 5 also admit that Shivaji Parse knows them.He stated that at about 12 noon while going on his bicycle, he saw Manohar Vir near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump and the accused Nos. 1 to 2 armed with swords, accused No. 3 with a hockey stick and accused No. 5 with a iron pipe.There were five more persons with them who were also, according to him armed only with sticks though.What is to be noted here is, therefore, be significant absence of mentioning the name and presence of the accused No. 4 Chandrakant.At no stage of his evidence further also, Shivaji Parse would appear to speak about the presence of accused No. 4 Chandrakant.Shivaji Parse states that near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump he saw the accused No. 1 striking Manohar Vir on the head with a sword and the latter then starting running away in the direction of the Police Inspector's bungalow and entering the compound.He also saw the assailants then pursuing him.He saw the accused Nos. 1 to 3 entering the compound through the fencing.According to Madan Bobde P.W. 9 these person had entered, however, through the gate.He saw the first blow in the courtyard being delivered by the accused No. 3 with his hockey stick whereupon Manohar Vir fell down and saw the attack by the accused No. 1 and 2 with their swords and by the accused No. 5 with an iron pipe.When they apparently realised that Manohar Vir had become motionless, they left and escaped in two autorickshaws towards the Latur Road.It was after the assailants fled that he himself, Madan Bobde, Bapu Raut and Appapappa Kandalkar went near Manohar Vir and took him to the Municipal Council Jawaharlal Hospital and thereafter to the Hospital of Dr. Hiremath.Now reflecting to the contention that Manohar Vir if attacked from the front with a sword in the hands of the accused No. 1, could not have received the blow on the back side of his head, it is again asserted by this witness also that the sword blow by the accused No. 1 near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump had landed on the back side of Manohar Vir's head, which is confirmed by the injury certificate and case papers at Exh. 57 of Dr. Gaekwad and Exh. 33 of Dr. Hiremath.The hockey stick blow on Manohar Vir, while he was facing the bungalow of the Police Inspector, in the courtyard, was also given by him from his back side, had fallen down and had not thereafter got up again.While Shivaji Parse stated that it was he who had first reached near Manohar Vir, madan Shivaji Parse had asserted as such, that it was he who reached near Manohar Vir and that Shivaji Parse had come after him.According to Madan Bobde he had watched the incident near the passing from the bungalow of the Inspector, Shivaji Parse had followed these assailants upto the gate and had seen the incident from there and both Madan Bobde and Shivaji Parse had gone near the fallen Manohar Vir almost at the same time.The greater criticism of Shivaji Parse's is, however, that he must be considered to be a enemical witness.While he denied any knowledge of the fact that his brother Bhima alongwith Madan Bobde P.W. 9 was facing prosecution for an assault on the accused No. 4 Chandrakant, Madan Bobde has quite clearly admitted that fact.He stated that Shivaji Parse's brother Bhima was a co-accused in that criminal case alongwith him and certain other persons.Now the argument that Shivaji Parse cannot be relied upon as a disinterested witness for the reason that his brother Bhima under prosecution for an assault on the accused No. 4 Chandrakant becomes entirely hollow, when as observed earlier, Shivaji Parse has not implicated the accused No. 4 at all.Otherwise it is as observed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, a case of Shivaji Parse became quite natural a witness, Madan Bobde P. W. 9 is employed with the Boiler Department with the Municipal Council Barsi.The incident occurred on Wednesday which was a working day.It is, therefore, contended in the first instance that in the absence of any specific evidence that he was on leave on that day he would have to be accepted as being on duty and, therefore, could not also have been present at his house to hear about the commotion and then to witness this incident.Madan's evidence that he had been to his house for taking meal which has rightly observed by the trial Court is the usual meals time when one may be during working hours also taken a short recess for meal.His house is on the Latur Kurduwadi road at the Shivaji Akhada area.The said road is to the west of that road on which the bungalow of the Police Inspector abuts and his house is just adjoining to this road and the railway line.His house is a part of City Survey No. 3805 which is comprised of as many as 50 house including his own.He had heard the shouting from the side of the bungalow which comes to be on the back side of his house.He was taking his meal and had, therefore, immediately got up and went near the railway line to stand there and saw the incident happened.All of them entered through the gate.He did not mention accused No. 6 though the latter has been implicated in the first information report, Exh. 53 which he had given.Manohar Vir had falled down and accused No. 1 and 2 had then struck him with their swords, the other with a stick, bars and iron pipes to hit him.Manohar Vir had bled very profusely.The accused had then all left fleeting from the spot.It was then that he went near Manohar Vir.Bapu Raut and Appa Kandalkar also came there and then Manohar Vir to the Municipal Hospital, Dr. Gaekwad had advised taking him to the Dr. Hiremath's hospital and that was also done.That report was quite correct and stands to corroborate him substantially and it is also to be noted that as between this F.I.R. and the testimony given in the Court, no variance whatsoever has been pointed out.As noted earlier Madan has admitted that though an assault on accused No. 4 Chandrakant may be relevant so far as the complicity of the accused No. 4 is concerned, but not others also.The suggestion made to Madan Bobde was that Wednesday being a working day, he was at his place of work, that 'somebody' had met him there to inform him of the incident and that he had then gone to the scene of offence.This suggestion was flatly denied by the witness.F.I.R. Exh. 53 of Madan Bobde mentions that he is a maternal uncle of Manohar Vir.However, it has not been suggested with reference to this relationship, anywhere during his cross-examination that it is for the reason of this relationship that he is falsely implicating the accused persons.Madan Bobde it will thus be seen, is the only witness so far who implicates all the five appellants here as present and participated in the attack on Manohar Vir himself does not mention the accused No. 5 whom he yet knows.His Radio Repairing shop is situated opposite the S.T. Bus Stop.His residence is behind Bhagwat Petrol Pump.The Police Inspector's bunglow is on the Solapur road facing the east while his radio repairing shop on the same road faces the west.He says that he had been to his house for his mid day meal and was on way back to his shop at about 12.30 noon when he heard the shouts and cries of Raja, ""catch him, kill him"" and saw Manohar Vir running towards the bungalow",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ accused No. 3 with hockey stick, accused No. 5 with iron pipe and while others had sticks.Accused Nos. 1 to 3 were the first ones to enter the compound of the Police Inspector's bungalow.The accused No 3 wielded Manohar Vir on the head with a hockey stick from the back side whereupon he fell down and the others then attacked him with their swords," they said """"he is dead"," let us go"""".They had then left in the autorickshaws.However", the witness on cross-examination had stated that he had made the note on some piece of paper in which the names of the assailants and the particular weapons wieded by them were mentioned.He stated that he had referred to this note when his statement was recorded during the investigation.He has admitted that he had not handed over this note to the Investigating Officer.The Investigating Officer himself does not appear to have questioned on this part of Vishnu's statement.If anything this much only be construed as being embellishment on the part of the witness, a display of over enthusiasm in the matter but o more.For it is admitted by all the accused persons that and also stated so at the bar by their learned Counsel for the appellants that this witness harbours no enmity against them and they have no axe to grind against him.In the circumstances, it is rightly observed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge that Vishnu of all the witnesses is the most disinterested and independent witness, who duly corroborates the victim and also established the fact as to who were the assailants when after Manohar Vir fell down under the hockey stick blow of accused No. 3, the assailants in the attack.Thus from the oral evidence, that of the victim, Manohar himself and the eye witnesses Shivaji Parse P.W. 6, Vishnu Vidhate P.W. 7 and Madan Bobde P.W. 9, the accused Nos. 1 to 3 must be found to have been definitely and fully implicated as the assailants not so however, the accused Nos. 4 and 5 inasmuch as accused No. 4 is not mentioned by the complainant himself as even present when he first saw the group of assailants near the Bhagwat Petrol Pump or hereafter.Then again Shivaji Parse P.W. 6 has also mentioned that the hockey stick was wielded by accused No. 5 though according to P.W. 7 Vishnu Vidhate it was accused No. 3 Somnath who had wielded the hockey stick.Thus any specific over act by the accused No. 4 is not proved and the participation on the part of the accused No. 5 as such comes into doubt with the omission to implicate him on the part of the victim himself.There is more in the medical evidence which in my opinion brings into doubt any participation on the part of the accused Nos. 4 and 5 as such.Dr. Gaekwad who was the first one to examine the injured Manohar Vir only hurriedly has mentioned all only for injuries in the nature of wounds which further appeared to him to be incised in nature.It was Dr. Hiremath at the Barsi Maternity and General Co-operative Hospital, who dealt with a patient to the point of performing surgery also.Dr. Hiremath P.W. 1 found as many as 12 injuries on the body of Manohar Vir.of these each of the injuries as Sr. No. 1 to 11 was incised wound and only the injury No. 12 was a superficial abrassion on the right big toe.If the use of any such sharp edged weapon as a sword is attributed only to the accused Nos. 1 and 2 and if the injury No. 12 is only in the nature of abrassion on the right big toe of the right foot, then evidence of all these witnesses including the victim Manohar Vir about the use of an iron pipe by the accused No. 5 and stick by the accused No. 4 Chandrakant must come into doubt.For hitting either with an iron pipe or a stick, would certainly not cause injuries of a incised nature.The use of these weapons would at best cause contusion or swelling on the body.It might further at best cause injuries in the nature of laceration, particularly if an iron pipes were used with roughened ends.But no such injury was observed by Dr. Hiremath also and that is what in my opinion, brings into doubt the story about any overt act as such on the part of these accused.It has to be conceded by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor that consistently with the evidence that accused No. 4 wielding a stick and accused No. 5 wielding an iron pipe no injury correspondently can be said to have been caused to Manohar Vir.This is as seen therefore, frequently brings the case of conviction of these two appellants into some doubt to the benefit of which they would have to be found entitled.As per the prosecution evidence about the seizure of blood stained articles on the person of the accused Nos. 1 to 3 or the accused No. 4 for that matter, is concerned, one must concur with the learned Judge of the trial Court that this evidence of such nature that the tending of it would be only at the peril of acceptance of even that prosecution evidence which would be otherwise considered genuine, truthful and reliable.One could not be deal more on this aspect of the evidence.It is, however, also pointed out by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor that the evidence of absconding on the part of these accused persons must deserve due consideration.In support plea of alibi no evidence was raised.It is their case that on 11-10-1985 they went to Barsi from Solapur.That means they were at Barsi on 9th and 10th of October 1985 and quite for some time on the 11th also.If their contention is that they have come to be implicated only on the suspicion that accused No. 1 was wanted to take revenge for the murder of his brother Sudhir, committed by Manohar Vir or for the reason that the accused No. 2 was accused No. 1's friend, then, it was quite open to them immediately approach the Police and establish their plea of alibi.They did not do so.They proceeded to Solapur for anticipatory bail, obviously to avoid arrest.It is difficult to appreciate their contention that their names have been taken only on suspicion, to falsely Implicate them.It is almost a well settled law that a injured person would not falsely implicate others instead of the real culprit.That apart Manohar Vir's testimony corroborated by Shivaji Parse, Vishnu Vidhate and Madan Bobde.The accused Nos. 3 and 4 have offered an explanation which like the learned Judge of the trial Court, 1 must also consider entirely unsatisfactory.They did learn about the attack on Manohar Vir in the evening that day and also that the assailants had then fled and disappeared.It is their say that accused No. 1 Rajabhau Rasal was their friend and as Manohar Vir committed the murder of Rajabhau's brother Sudhir, they suspected that they would be involved in the crime alongwith him.They got wind of the likehood of being so implicated by general talk amongst the members of the public.Therefore, they say that they remained hiding in their houses till 11-10-1985 and then went to Solapur to apply for anticipatory bail.The reasons for not considering the offences brought home to the accused No. 4 Chandrakant apart so far as the accused No. 3 is concerned, this explanation is entirely unsatisfactory.The incriminating testimony of circumstantial importance against the accused Nos. 1 to 3 also comes from two other witnesses Nagesh P.W. 11 and Madhukar Satarkar P.W. 12 Madhukar Satarkar is the owner of the Sital Restaurant on the Barsi-Latur road about a Kilometer away from the town proper.He is a cousin of Manohar Vir and knows all the accused.It is his evidence and that of Nagesh P.W. 11 that on 9-10-1985 at about 12-30 noon both of them were sitting in the open space in front of the restaurant taking tea.The Barsi Latur road adjoins this open space in front of the restaurant.Nagesh P.W. 11 has stated that at that time authorickshaws were halted near the restaurant and the accused No. 2 Nagnath had delivered a threat to Madhujar Satarkar P.W. 2 that his hotel would be set on fire.Accused No. 2 had delivered this threat while sitting in the authorickshaw.The accused No. 2 had said 'we have finished with one and we return to burn his hotel'.The first two authorickshaws, he stated that gone towards Latur in high speed and it was the third authorickshaw which came about 5 minutes later which had slowed down near him and the accused No. 2 sitting in it had given threats to him.This evidence of a guilty flight on the part of the accused Nos. 1 to 3, apart threats delivered by them, has been, however, disbelieved by the learned Judge of the Trial Court by observing that Madhukar Satarkar had thereafter remained complacent, he had not reported the threats to the police, when he went back to then town and came to know about the incident, he had gone to hiremath Hospital to see the injured Manohar Vir.He admitted that he disclosed this only to the Police Inspector when his statement was recorded that night.The silence about the guilty flight of the assailants of Manohar Vir in three authorickshaws and the threats given by accused No. 3, the learned Judge of the Trial Court observed so feeling enough to doubt the story given by this witness.In my opinion, however, when Madhukar Satarkar, is considered as one of the persons who was related to Manohar Vir, and had some connection with the murder of Sudhir, then the deliverance of such threat is not entirely improbable.The evidence that accused No. 3 remarked that one person had already been done away that becomes relevant when one appreciates that according to Vishnu Vidhate P.W. 7," the assailants after belabouring Manohar Vir in the courtyard of the Police Inspector's bungalow had remarked """"he is dead"""" and had then gone away.It was on their way", fleeing from Barsi towards Latur that Madhukar Satarkar's restaurant is located and such an utterance by the accused No. 3 revelling in victory over the attack on Manohar Vir, prompts such an utterance.As noted earlier one of the contentions advanced in regard to the identification of the accused as the assailants, made by P.W. 10 Manohar Vir, victim, was that the suddenness of the appearances of the assailants, the suddenness of the sword blow delivered to him and the terror created thereby in his mind would all attribute to his being oblivious of the identity of the assailants.This contention is unacceptable because the incident occurred in broad day light, the assailants were all persons quire well known to Manohar Vir, and thirdly he must be assumed to have reminding away all the time by his doing murder of Sudhir Rasal, he had created a life long enemy in the accused No. 1 Rajabhau Rasal and his friends.The next argument was that the prosecution had chosen only interested witnesses as to give evidence against the accused.I have already dealt with this later aspect namely that Shivaji Parse has still not implicated accused No. 4 even considering the relationship between Manohar Vir and Madan Bobde the account as given by him, and subjected to close cross-examination stands substantially unshaken.What is of the highest importance is that there is atleast one witness who is totally disinterested and independently namely Vishnu Vidhate P.W. 7," notwithstanding that the embellishment which he has at one time admitted.The contention that Manohar Vir must have been conscious or must have regained consciousness upon being taken to Dr. Hiremath's Hospital is founded on the endorsement on the case papers of the said hospital.The endorsement is """"I am prepared"," on my responsibility to get my patient operated upon.In this respect I have no objection for such operation under any kind of An-aesthesia.""""Now it will be appreciated that Madan Bobde P.W. 9 must also to be found to have lodged his complaint very promptly", without loosing any time in deliberation and premediation (as to whom to implicate) because it is also stated by Dr. Hiremath that Madan bobde was not present at the time when he first examined Manohar Vir Madan Bobde had, immediately after reaching Manohar Vir to the Dr. Hiremath's hospital with the assistance of others, gone to the Police and lodged this complaint to implicate these appellants.Therefore, the plea the first information report.Apart from that the evidence shows that one of the tow swords on which as per the report Exh. 31 of the Chemical Analyser, human blood stains of Group B were found, was found to have dishandled in a broken condition and it is, therefore, more than probable that even in that broken condition the sword had been tried to be used by the accused No. 1 and, therefore, these injuries had been caused to him.The broken handle separated from the blade of the sword was found at the spot by the P.S.I. Patil, and seized and even on this handle the blood of Group B which is the blood group of Manohar Vir had been detected.Even alternatively, it has to be appreciated that Manohar Vir has stated that he had made some attempt to struggle with his assailants when he was attacked with the sword and it is that attempt that accused No. 1 could have sustained these injuries.For all these reasons, therefore, it must be held that so far as the accused Nos. 1 to 3 are concerned, they being members of an unlawful assembly which indulged in rioting and their attack on Manohar Vir was clearly with the intention of committing his murder, is more than well established.The very number of the incised injuries, as many as 11, all over the body bears testimony to such intention on their part.Having regard to the context of Manohar Vir being a person who was convicted and sentenced for causing the death of accused No. 1's brother Sudhir Rasal and the dissatisfaction experienced by the accused No. 1 at Manohar Vir's being lay off lightly and, therefore, his desire on his own to revengefully further punish Manohar Vir's a probably adequate sentence of imprisonment to him as also to the accused Nos. 1 to 3 who participated in the attack alongwith him, is in my opinion unavoidable in the interest of justice.Having regard to this and all other circumstances, the sentence would have to be modified as follows :The appeal so far as the appellants Nos. 4 and 5 are concerned, is hereby allowed.Their conviction for the offence under section 147,148, 307 read with section 149 of the I.P.C. is hereby set aside and they shall stand acquitted of the said charge.Accordingly their bail bonds shall also stand cancelled.The appeal so far as the accused Nos. 1 to 3 are concerned, is hereby partly allowed.Their conviction for the offence under section 147, 148 and 307 read with section 149 of the I.P.C. is upheld and confirmed.The sentence of R.i.for four years awarded to each of them is, however, reduced to two years R.I. and the fine of Rs. 250/- imposed upon each of them is increased to Rs. 1000/-.The appellants have been on bail during the period of this appeal.They shall now surrender to their bail.At the request of their Counsel," they are granted one month's time to so surrender to their bail.The appeal is disposed of accordingly.""","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Avas Nandi (PW 15) went to the village.PW 1 lodged the written complaint.He reached the village at 19.35 hrs.He sent the FIR to police station through his driver Sannyasi Pal for starting PS case and upon his return he endorsed the case to S.I. A. Nandy.He kept A.S.I Ramapada Ghosh there and left.In cross- examination, he stated that he cannot say the name of the Chowkidar which is also not noted in the General Diary.The case was endorsed to him for investigation.PW 1 identified the place of occurrence.He prepared the sketch map with index (Exbt.6 and 6/1).The dead body was taken out of the well in his presence by some villagers.He prepared the inquest report in presence of the witnesses (Exbt.2).He collected bloodstained earth and controlled earth from bamboo groove (Exbt.3/2).He arrested the appellant and Meherun.The appellant made statement under Section 161 CrPC (Exbt.7).He recovered a Hensua from the residence of the appellant under a seizure list (exbt.4).He examined the witnesses.He seized wearing apparels of the deceased under a seizure list (Exbt.8).He made the seizure in the Thana.The accused was produced in Court and he sent the dead body for postmortem examination.On his transfer he handed over the charge to Officer-in-Charge.In cross-examination, he stated that he did not examine the chowkidar in the case.There is nothing in the case diary regarding whether the accused persons were present in the place of occurrence.Hensua was not sent for FSL examination.He could not say whether the appellant was a resident under Sikaripara P.S.

Chandan Babu he drew up the formal FIR.Thereafter he sent the FIR to Chandan Babu once again through the driver Sannyasi Paul.He entered the General Diary No.702 (Exbt.10).PW 18 was the second investigating officer who concluded the investigation and filed charge sheet.PW 19 is the Autopsy Surgeon who found the following injuries:-1) The body was in highly decomposed condition.IPC and in conclusion of investigation a charge-sheet was filed under the aforesaid sections against the appellant and the two other accused persons.The case was committed to the court of sessions and transferred to the court of Additional Sessions Judge, Second Court, Suri, Birbhum for trial and disposal.As Salem Sk absconded, charges were framed under Sections 302/34 IPC and Sections 201/34 IPC against the appellant and Mehrun Bibi.They pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.In course of trial, the prosecution examined P.W.19 and exhibited a number of documents.The defence of the appellant was one of innocence and false implication.It was his specific defence that nobody has seen him with the victim prior to her death.There was no enmity between the appellant and the victim.There is also no evidence to show that the appellant had met the co-accused persons, namely, Mehrun Bibi and Salem Sk.The extra judicial confession relied upon in the instant case is highly dubious and the recovery of the hensua was not at his behest.However, in conclusion of trial, the trial Judge by the impugned judgement and order dated 15th July, 1997 convicted and sentenced the appellant, as aforesaid.By the self-same judgment and order, Mehrun Bibi, however, was acquitted from the charges leveled against her.Nobody appeared for the appellant.The extra judicial confession was procured under coercion after the appellant was detained by local villagers in the presence of a Chowkider and even the Officer-in-Charge, P.W. 14 was present in or about the time of recording of such confession.Hence, it cannot be said that the appellant was a free agent and have voluntarily made such confession.There was also no reliable evidence led by the prosecution to establish that there was an illicit affair between the victim and Faraz, the husband of acquitted accused, Mehrun Bibi, which is touted as the motive of crime.Recovery of hensua from the residence of the appellant is also not an incriminating circumstance as the said instrument was not sent for FSL examination.He accordingly prayed for acquittal.Ms. Khan, learned counsel appearing for the State submitted that the conduct of the appellant in throwing boulders into the well from where the villagers used to collect drinking water was most suspicious.Accordingly, the villagers asked the appellant to remove the boulders which he refused to do and upon draining the water the villagers found a dead body.On interrogation, the appellant made an extra judicial confession admitting his guilt which in the aforesaid circumstances is most natural and, therefore, was rightly relied upon by the trial court.Soon thereafter, on his leading statement the weapon of offence, namely, hensua was recovered.Medical evidence has also supported the aforesaid circumstances.Hence, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.An analysis of the evidence on record would show that the case of the prosecution is based on circumstantial evidence.The prosecution has essentially relied on the following circumstances to bring upon the guilt of the appellant:a) On 26-10-1990 in the morning, the appellant was found throwing boulders into a well from where the local villagers used to collect drinking water;b) The local villagers who had assembled to collect drinking water opposed the appellant in fouling the water by throwing boulders and asked him to remove the bounders;c) The appellant refused to do so and thereupon he was detained;d) The local people drained the water and found the dead body of a lady.e) This fact was informed to the local Chowkider who in turn intimated the local police station over the incident.f) In the meantime, the appellant made an extra judicial confession stating that he along with Mehrun Bibi (acquitted accused) had killed Chabi with a hensua in a bamboo grove over the issue of illicit relation between Faraz, the husband of Mehrun Bibi and the victim.Thereafter, the dead body was put into the well by the aforesaid accused persons and Salem Sk.and he was throwing boulders to conceal the body.g) The police arrived at the spot and the body of the victim was brought out from the well.The dead body was identified as that of Chabi.h) Police recorded the confessional statement of the appellant and pursuant to his statement a hensua was seized from his house.Mother of Chabi, her brother and sister identified the dead body.Police held inquest over the dead body.He signed on the inquest report (Exbt.2/1).Daroga Babu took all of them to the bamboo grove, seized bloodstained earth and controlled earth (Exbt.3/1).Police arrested Jahangir and Meher Bibi and took them into custody.Next morning at about 10/10.30 a.m. police arrived at the village with Jahangir and recovered one Hensua from the house of one Salam Sk.He identified the Hensua (Mat Exbt.4/1) and put his signature on the seizure list (Exbt.4/1).In cross-examination, he stated that he never saw Chabi roaming with Jahangir on earlier occasions.He accompanied the police since the recovery of dead body.They began to drain out the water of the well.After draining out the water they found the dead body of Chabi.On repeated questioning the appellant admitted his guilt.In cross-examination, he stated that Daroga babu arrived in the afternoon.PW 14 was the officer-in-charge of Suri Police Station at the material point of time.On the date of occurrence at 5.15 P.M., Chowkider of Dolkata village informed him about a dead body at Dolkata village.He diarised the information as General Diary Entry No.699 dated 26.10.1990 (Exbt.PW 15 Abhas Nandi was attached to Md. Bazar P.S. as SI of Police.PW 14 Chandan Mukherjee was officer-in-charge of Md. Bazar P.S. On receipt of information they proceeded to Dolkata village by jeep.On reaching Dolkata village PW 1 lodged a written complaint and the complaint was sent to the police for starting a PS case.2) He found one incised injury in the mid-region of the neck measuring 4""X3""X4"".No other injuries were found.3) Larynx and trachea were cut off.He stated that the injuries were caused by Hensua.From the aforesaid evidence it appears that on 26.10.1996 PWs.1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 11 found the appellant throwing boulders into the well when they arrived at the same spot to collect drinking water.All of them claimed that they were working in the stone quarry of PW 13 immediately prior to assembling at the well for collecting water.This dichotomy throws doubt as to their simultaneous presence at the place and time of occurrence.However, all of them have said in unison that they were present there for collecting drinking water and had enquired the appellant as to why he was throwing boulders into the well.The appellant replied that he wanted to catch fish.The witnesses became suspicious and asked him to remove the boulders.When he refused to do so they detained the appellant and started draining the water and ultimately found a dead body in the well.They informed the chowkidar whose identity has neither been established nor has he been examined in the instant case.It is claimed that the said chowkidar, informed Md. Bazar Police Station and such information was diarized as GDE 699 dated 16.10.1990 (Exbt.5).Pursuant thereto PW 14, Officer-in-Charge of the police station and the PW 15, first investigating officer of the case, came to the place of occurrence.It appears from the evidence of PW 6 as well as the Officer-in-Charge (PW 14) that the latter arrived at the spot while the water was being drained out from the well.Thereafter the dead body of the victim was brought out.In the meantime it is claimed that the appellant had made a confessional statement that he along with Meherun Bibi had killed Chabi Murmu with a hensua in the bamboo grove.Thereafter, he along with Meherun Bibi and Salem Sk. had thrown the dead body of the victim in the well and he was throwing boulders in the well in order to conceal the dead body.Prosecution has essentially relied on this piece of evidence, namely, extra-judicial confession of the appellant to establish his guilt.It is, therefore, necessary to see whether the extra-judicial confession made by the appellant is voluntary and truthful so as to form the basis of his conviction.It appears from the evidence of all the witnesses that after discovery of the dead body in the pond they had detained the appellant.Hence, one can safely conclude that the appellant was not a free agent at the time when he made the extra-judicial confession casting serious doubt as to its voluntariness.Apart from that, it appears that the local chowkidar had been informed who intimated the discovery of dead body in the well to the police station.The identity of the chowkidar has not been established.He has also not been examined in the instant case.The examination of chowkidar in the instant case is most vital in order to ascertain as to whether he was present at the spot when the victim made the so-called extra-judicial confessional statement to the villagers.Evidence of PW 6 shows that police arrived there while they were draining water from the well.Under such circumstances, possibility of presence of the police personnel at the time when the so-called extra-judicial confession was made by the appellant cannot be wholly ruled out.The appellant was detained by an agitated mob while they drained water from the well for 3-4 hours.The village chowkidar was present and the police from the local police station who had been informed also arrived at the spot while the water was being drained out of the well.The appellant was, therefore, not a free agent when he purportedly made the confession.The witnesses who had detained him were most hostile and it is possible due to coercion and out of fear he was forced to admit his guilt.Presence of police personnel at the time of making such confession and the fear of immediate reprisal from persons in authority cannot be wholly ruled out in the aforesaid factual matrix.The genesis of the prosecution case shows that the said extra-judicial confession is claimed to have been made after the discovery of the dead body in the well.Soon thereafter, the appellant had been detained by the agitated local people and, in all probability, the extra-judicial confession had been procured under pressure in presence of persons in authority like the chowkidar and local police personnel of the police station who had arrived at the spot while water was being drained out from the well.In Sasanka Sekhar Kar vs. State of West Bengal, 1990 Cr.L.J. (NOC) 168 (CAL)], a Division bench of this court held that an extra judicial confession made by an accused when surrounded by a large mob cannot be said to be voluntarily.Coming to the corroborative evidence of recovery of hensua, it appears that such recovery had not been made in that night but on the next morning.PW 15 claimed that he had immediately recorded the confessional statement in writing of the appellant.There was no explanation offered as to why after recording the statement (exbt. 7) of the appellant at the place of occurrence, P.W. 15 took the appellant back to the police station and affected the recovery of the hensua purportedly pursuant to his statement only on the next day.This gap in time and the manner of recovery of hensua throws serious doubt as to whether the said recovery was, in fact, pursuant to the statement of the appellant as claimed by the police.It is also important to note that the hensua had not been sent for forensic examination so as to determine the presence of human blood on the weapon so as to connect it with the alleged crime.Hence, this piece of evidence is highly artificial and does not inspire confidence.Finally, coming to the issue of motive, I find that there is absolutely no involvement of the appellant in the so-called illicit relationship between Faraz, the husband of the acquitted accused Meherun Bibi and the victim Chabi.In the conspectus of the aforesaid evidence on record particularly, in view of the suspicious circumstances attending the purported extra-judicial confession which was procured from the appellant while he was in detention and where the possibility of presence of police personnel at the spot cannot be wholly ruled out, I am afraid that conviction of the appellant primarily on such piece of evidence is not justified.It is apposite to note that mere vague suspicion cannot take the place of proof and when the prosecution has not been able to show that the appellant had voluntarily made the extra-judicial confession free from any influence or coercion, I am of the opinion that conviction of the appellant essentially founded on such weak piece of witness is liable to be set aside.Accordingly, I set aside the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellant.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"(C) The house in which the dead body of Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan is said to have been found, was not occupied by the appellant alone and there were other inmates also.(D) There is no evidence to prove that the appellant gave a beating by a lathi and, therefore, there was no justification to hold him guilty for an offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC.(E) The charges have not been proved beyond reasonable doubt and at the most the appellant could have been punished under Section 323 of the IPC.The short facts of the prosecution story are that on 28-8-2002 at about 10-11 P.M., some quarrel had taken place between the deceased Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan and the appellant and at that time, the appellant's wife Gulab Bai was also present.The appellant and his wife brought the deceased Hatimtai to their house.At about 1.00 A.M. on 29-8-2002, Suresh Mali and Gulab Bai came to the house of P.W. 5 Tejram who was chowkidar of Village Rupi Paretiya and informed him that Hatimtai is abusing Babloo in their house.On receiving this information, P.W. 5 Tejram went to the house of appellant and found that Hatimtai was tied with a pole with the help of rope.On his instruction, the appellant untied the rope but by that time Hatimtai had died.Thereafter, the chowkidar informed the villagers about this incident and after that he went to Police Station Harda and lodged Ex. P-6 merg intimation and Ex. P-7 FIR.After receiving this information, the Investigating Officer of Police Station Harda commenced the investigation and prepared Ex. P-3 inquest report after issuance of Ex. P-2 notice.He also prepared Ex. P-4 site plan.A plank and two pieces of nylon rope were seized from the possession of appellant upon his information and Ex. P-9 memorandum and Ex. P-9-A seizure memo were prepared.JUDGMENT A.K. Saxena, J.Feeling aggrieved by the judgment dated 30-4-2005 passed by the First Additional Sessions Judge, Harda in Sessions Trial No. 446/02, the appellant Babloo @ Ganesh has preferred this appeal against his conviction under Section 302 of the IPC whereby he is sentenced to undergo life imprisonment and fine of Rs. 1,000/-, in default six months rigorous imprisonment.The appellant Babloo @ Ganesh has preferred this appeal under Section 374 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 on the following grounds:-(A) There is no evidence on record to suggest that the appellant gave a beating to the deceased Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan resulting his death.(B) The learned Trial Court failed to appreciate the prosecution evidence properly.The dead body of Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan was sent to the hospital for post-mortem where P.W. 13 Dr. S.K. Sengar conducted the autopsy.After completion of investigation, the charge sheet was filed against appellant/accused.The Trial Court framed the charges under Sections 342 and 302 read with Section 34 of the IPC against the present appellant and against co-accused Gulab Bai, who died during the trial.The learned Trial Court found that the offence under Section 342 of the IPC could not be proved beyond shadow of doubt and the appellant was acquitted of the charge under Section 342 of IPC but, he was convicted under Section 302 of the IPC and sentenced him as mentioned hereinabove.On perusal of the record of Trial Court, it is apparent that there is no eye witness to prove as to what had happened in the house of appellant.The whole prosecution story is based on circumstantial evidence.As per prosecution story, initially, some quarrel had taken place between the appellant and the deceased near the temple where few witnesses were present and at that time both these persons were dragging each other in their presence.Thereafter, the appellant and his wife brought the deceased Hatimtai to their house and when P.W. 5 Tejram, Chowkidar went to the house of appellant upon receiving the information from Suresh Mali and Gulab Bai, he found that Hatimtai had already died.There is overwhelming evidence on the point of quarrel which had taken place near the temple and P.W. 2 Shankarlal, P.W. 6 Sakharam, P.W. 9 Hari Prasad, P.W. 10 Suresh, P.W. 11 Nanhelal and P.W. 12 Golu @ Omprakash have categorically stated that the appellant and Hatimtai were dragging each other near the temple.On this point, surprisingly, there was no cross-examination on behalf of appellant/accused on P.W. 9 Hari Prasad, P.W. 10 Suresh and P.W. 12 Golu @ Omprakash.The prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt this circumstance that at the initial stage, some scuffle had taken place between the appellant and the deceased and then they went towards the house of appellant.There is sufficient evidence to prove that the deceased Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan was found dead in the veranda of the house of appellant and at that time the appellant was also present in his house.On this point, the statement of P.W. 5 Tejram is fully trustworthy.The learned Counsel for the appellant contended that the dead body of Hatimtai was found at an open place where anybody can come and commit this offence, therefore, the learned Trial Court committed an error in holding that the appellant had committed this offence.We are not inclined to accept this argument because the statement of P.W. 5 Tejram, who is an independent witness, is totally trustworthy.He had no inimical terms with the appellant.Ex. P-4 site plan also shows that there is a veranda attached to the rooms belonging to the appellant where the dead body was found and this fact is also noteworthy that the appellant was present in his house at that time.Now, it becomes the duty of the appellant to explain as to how the dead body of Hatimtai was found tied with the pole.A heavy burden lies on the appellant to explain the above situation but he failed to explain it, which goes against him.The prosecution has also proved that two pieces of nylon rope were seized from the possession of appellant upon his information and Ex. P-9 memorandum and Ex. P-9-A seizure memo were prepared by the investigating officer P.W. 14 S.S. Udawat in presence of P.W. 5 Tejram.For the foregoing reasons, we are of the view that prosecution has completed the chain of circumstances which leads to this conclusion that some quarrel near the temple and some kind of incident in the house of the appellant had taken place between him and the deceased and thereafter, the deceased was found dead in the house of appellant.Now most crucial point arises for our consideration as to whether the appellant had committed murder of the deceased Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan and can he be convicted under Section 302, IPC ? The leaned Counsel for the appellant submitted that there is no direct evidence to show that the appellant had any intention to commit the murder of Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan.There is no eye witness to prove that the appellant gave a beating to the deceased in his house.The appellant and the deceased were found in a drunken condition.In Mangu's case (supra), the story was that there was some altercation between the accused and his wife and accused caused some injuries to his wife and brought her to their house and after that the wife of the accused was found dead.No doubt, similar facts and circumstances are also prevailing in the present case.There is no evidence in this case also to show that the appellant gave a beating to Hatimtai by a plank though, a plank was recovered from the possession of appellant but, it is not a material evidence in this case as the plank can be found in anybody's house.Therefore, the fact that the plank was recovered from the house of appellant, is not sufficient to hold that the appellant caused any injury to Hatimtai by using this plank.To arrive on any conclusion on this point as to whether there was any justification to hold the appellant guilty for the offence punishable under Section 302, IPC, the statement of P.W. 13 Dr. S.K. Sengar and Ex. P-14 post-mortem report should be considered.P.W. 13 Dr. S.K. Sengar as per his statement and post-mortem report, while conducting the autopsy, found the following external injuries on the body of the deceased :-(1) Contusion cum ligature like marks starting from Thyroid Cartilage along the root of neck, below right side of chin up to right side of ear.(2) Abrasion 2 cm x 1 cm below mid post of left chin.(3) Contusion on right side of neck from mid part of sterno mestoid extending up to back of neck at C2 level.(4) Contusion on back, left side in line of inferior angle of left scapula 7th I.C.S. to 9th I.C.S. 4"" x 3"".(5) Contusion from 10th I.C.S. on left side of scapula to left Iliac crest 5"" x 3"".(6) Abrasion 3"" x 1"" on left side below No. 6 obliquely lateral to mediul.(7) Contusion below left angle of scapula longitudinally 4"" x 1/2""(8) Abrasion just below chin right side 3 cm x 1 cm.(9) Contusion from right Iliac crest to right side of nose.(10) Contusion 3"" x 1"" at the centre of injury No. 9 as shown in picture.(11) Multiple contusions four in number intermingled to each other 4""-5"" x 6""-7"" on the right thigh.The autopsy surgeon has also found that there was a fracture of 9th rib and the liver was ruptured and there was an internal injury 3"" x 1/2"" x 2"" of size on the post surface of the liver.He opined that the cause of death is shock due to multiple injuries and injury to liver.P.W. 13 Dr. S.K. Sengar had admitted in his cross- examination that if a person fell down with force, rapture of liver is quite possible.He found that there was an abrasion on left side above the stomach on the person of Hakim Khan.Apart from that, Dr. S.K. Sengar had not opined that the deceased Hatimtai had died because of asphyxia due to pressure on his neck, though, the doctor found the ligature like mark at the root of the neck.There was some scuffle between the appellant and the deceased and at that time, they were in drunken condition.The Senior Scientist and Chemical Examiner of F.S.L. vide Ex. P-17 report also found the presence of alcohol in the viscera of Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan.All these facts and circumstances show that the appellant was not having any intention to commit murder of Hatimtai @ Hakim Khan.After considering abovementioned facts and circumstances, we are inclined to hold that the appellant had not committed either the murder of deceased or the offence of causing homicidal death not amounting to murder.At the most, his act falls under Section 325, IPC for causing grievous hurt to the deceased.There is no evidence to convict this appellant under Section 302 or 304 Part I or Part II of the IPC, but he can very well be convicted under Section 325 of the IPC for having caused grievous injury to the deceased.The learned Trial Court has totally failed to appreciate all the aspects of the case while holding the appellant./accused guilty of committing murder of the deceased.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"J U D G M E N TRAJU, J.These two appeals are at the instance of twelve accused, who remained convicted throughout after acquittal at different stages of the remaining accused out of the total number of 25 who stood charged before the learned Sessions Judge, Barpeta, for offences under Sections 302 and 201 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code [for short `IPC'].The necessary facts for appreciating the grievance of the appellants are that the case had its origin initially with a G.D. Entry No.115 on 3.8.1989 registered at Barpeta Police Station at 6.30 P.M. on verbal information followed by a formal written FIR that was lodged by one Rupchan Mia, on the same day at 7.00 P.M. As per the version in the FIR, on the fateful day, i.e., 3.8.1989, at about 4.00 P.M. when three persons viz., Tara Mia, Saket Ali and Owaz Kha were fishing in the Dhaneswari Beel, the accused armed with sticks, spears and other deadly weapons attacked those persons inflicting serious injuries resulting in their death and thereafter dragged the dead bodies and threw them in the Pahumara River.At the time of occurrence, hue and cry was also said to have been raised attracting crowd, which included witnesses Manowara Begum and Hussain Mia and the accused were said to have attacked the above two and also caused injuries on their person as well.In the FIR, reference was said to have been made to 24 persons by name and others generally, as the accused responsible for the incident and after completing the investigation, charge was laid on them viz about 26 under the provisions noticed above to face trial before the Trial Court.During the trial, the prosecution examined about 11 PWs to substantiate the charge of whom PW.1, PW.2, PW.8 and PW.9 claimed to be the eyewitnesses for the occurrence and PW.5 and PW.6 were the Medical Officers, who conducted the post mortem examination.It appears that despite serious efforts, during the course of investigation, only the bodies of Saket Ali and Owaz Kha alone could be recovered from the Nakhanda river, but that of Tara Mia, could not at all be retrieved.The learned Trial Judge, after considering the materials on record, by his judgment dated 10.2.1999 in Sessions Case No.13 of 1994 found that the prosecution established its case against 16 enumerated accused and acquitted about 9 of the accused on the view that the evidence could not establish and prove the charges against them beyond reasonable doubt.The convicted persons were each sentenced to life imprisonment with a further fine of Rs.2,000/-, in default of payment to further suffer six months R.I. under Section 302 read with Section 149, IPC.For the conviction under Section 201 read with Section 149, IPC, they were sentenced to five years R.I. along with a fine of Rs.1,000/- each and three months R.I. in default of payment of the same.The convicted accused filed two separate appeals viz., a group of 10 - Crl.Appeal No.57 of 1999 and the remaining 6 - Crl.A Division Bench of the Gauhati High Court by a common judgment dated 9.1.2002 chose to confirm the conviction and sentence in respect of 12 accused, who are appellants before this Court, acquitting four more by giving them benefit of doubt in addition to those acquitted by the Trial Court.Heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned counsel for the respondent-State.Common object could develop eo instanti and being a question of fact it can always be inferred and deduced from the facts and circumstances of a case projected and proved in a given case.The evidence on record, in our view, sufficiently established that there was some prior animosity and there were faction-ridden groups in existence apparently over the exercise of right to fish in the area.From the nature of the weapons like lathi, dagger, spear like iron rods, which seem to have been liberally used by the appellants, the chasing of the victims who ran for their lives and killing the three of them by merciless attack and throwing their dead-bodies in the running river rendering it almost difficult to retrieve immediately their bodies and some of them absconding from the locality for nearly about twelve days, would go to inevitably prove that by their joint armed attack, the common object to murder the victims was obvious and stood proved by convincing and cogent evidence.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Munesh were summoned.Both the accused persons appeared before the court and thereafter, vide order dt. 13.01.2010, notice u/s. 251 Cr.P.C. qua commission of offence u/s 500 IPC was given to both the accused persons to which they pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.The matter was accordingly adjourned to 03.03.2010 for Complainant Evidence.Again on 22.05.2010, the complainant was absent and counsel for the complainant moved an exemption application on his behalf which was allowed.On 21.08.2010, nobody was present however, no adverse order was passed and the case was adjourned to 10.11.2010 for Complainant Evidence.Further perusal of the ordersheet reveals that despite sufficient opportunities, the complainant has not led any evidence so far and last & final opportunities were also given to the complainant on two occasions.Today also the complainant is not present and the counsel for complainant has moved an application on his behalf seeking exemption stating inter alia that the complainant cannot attend the court as he has gone to Hastinapur, U.P. to attend a marriage.LP 179/2013 Page 2 of 5Counsel Sh.Nitin Garg is present on his behalf who has no Vakalatnama in his favour.In the entire facts and circumstances, I do not find any justifiable ground to grant exemption to the complainant.The application is dismissed.Since the complainant is absent without justifiable ground, I deem it fit to dismiss the present complaint case u/s 256 Cr.PC due to non appearance of the complainant.",['Section 500 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Totally there are three accused.One Mrs.Jayalakshmi is Accused No.1 in the said case.The above said land was originally owned by their father Thomas Nadar.He died intestate leaving his three sons, the 2nd respondent herein and Sri.T.Shanmuga Sundaram and Sri.Therefore, both A1 and the 2nd respondent decided to enter into an agreement with the petitioners/A2 and A3 to develop the property.On the same day, The 2nd respondent has also executed two different general power of attorney deed one in favour of the petitioners and the other in favour of A1 to deal with the property in question.According to the 2nd respondent, A1 and the petitioners/A2 and A3 failed to pay the balance sale consideration of Rs.70,00,000/- within the time stipulated under the tripartite agreement and have sold out few flats to different persons.It is further alleged in the complaint by the 2nd respondent that despite cancellation of general power of attorney deeds and fact that the same was intimated to A1 to A3, still, they sold few more left out plots to Sri.B.Venkataraman and another and Sri.N.M.Sathish and others.Y.Jayashankar (A3) has been shown as Party of the Third Part and the parties have agreed upon as follows:""Whereas the sale could not be completed within the time frame stipulated in the Agreement dated 20.02.1997 and due to personal reason could not put up the said complex of flats and therefore approached the party of the third party, who are builders, for putting up construction in order to complete the agreement of sale by the party of the second part with the party of the First part.It is not in dispute that the petitioners were not parties to the earliest sale agreement.A perusal of the tripartite would go to show that A1 agreed to pay the balance sale consideration to the 2nd respondent.The petitioners are Accused Nos.2 and 3 in C.C.No.6264 of 2011 on the file of the learned XI Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai.The 2nd respondent is the de facto complainant.A1 and the petitioners herein are said to have committed offences punishable under Sections 406, 418 and 420 r/w 34 of IPC.The learned Metropolitan Magistrate on 29.03.2012 framed charges against A1 and the petitioners for above said offences.Challenging the same, the petitioners are before this court with this criminal revision.I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel appearing for the 2nd respondent and also the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing on behalf of the 1st respondent/State.I have also perused the records carefully.When the 2nd respondent approached A1 to A3 for balance sale consideration, it is alleged that they threatened him with dire consequences.Hence, the complaint.Based on the above said complaint, a case in Crime No. 40 of 2008 came to be registered by the 1st respondent police for offence under Sections 406, 418 and 420 r/w 34 of IPC.When the contract could not get concluded, on 10.12.1998, the de facto complainant and A1 and the petitioners entered into the tripartite agreement for the purpose of putting up construction in the land in question wherein the 2nd respondent has been shown as Part of the First Part, M/s.Mega Construction, a registered Partnership Firm, represented by one of its partner namely Mrs.Vijayalakshmi (A1) has been shown as Party of the Second Part and that M/s.The extract from the tripartite agreement with regard to payment clause reads thus:""(2) The Party of the Second Part shall pay the remain sale consideration i.e., Rs.1,10,25,000/- to the Party of the First Part as to the time schedule that follows:-(i) on the date of execution of this agreement a sum of Rs.22,00,000/- (Rupees Twenty Two Lakhs only).(ii) A sum of Rs.10,00,000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs only) on or before one month from the date of this Agreement.(iii) A sum of Rs.78,25,000/- (Rupees Seventy Eight Lakhs and Twenty Fine Thousand only) within a period of 12 months from the date of this Agreement.""As a matter of fact, the petitioners who are developers under the tripartite agreement agreed to place security deposit of a sum of Rs.60,00,000/- by way of different banker's cheques.It has been further agreed under the tripartite agreement as follows:-The party of the second part agreed to pay the above mentioned Rs.78,25,000/- (Rupees Seventy Eight Lakhs and Twenty Five Thousand only) as per Clause 2(iii) to Party of the First Part in stages whenever the sale deeds are being executed / registered in favour of the nominees of the Party of the Second Part, however, the balance consideration of Rs.78,25,000/- is to be paid before 12 months period from the date of this Agreement.With regard to entrustment of the property, it has been agreed under the tripartite agreement as follows:The Party of the First Part has handed over possession of the scheduled mentioned property to the Party of the Second Part on the date of this agreement and it shall be open to the Party of the Second Part to develop the property as to their choice or may enter into any agreement with third party for such development.For the reasons best known to them, the contract could not get completed in time.Therefore, both A1 and the de facto complainant have mutually agreed to develop the property and to entrust the construction work to a third party.Only thereafter, A1 and the de facto complainant and the petitioners entered into a tripartite agreement for the purpose of putting up construction in the vacant land in question.Even as per the Tripartite agreement only A1 has agreed to pay the remaining sale consideration and these petitioners agreed to pay security deposit of Rs.60,00,000/- in favour of A1 and absolutely there is no connection or agreement between the petitioners and A1 in the money transaction.After completion of construction, it was only A1 who sold some of the plots.The property was entrusted as per the tripartite agreement only to A1, who, in turn, as per the very same tripartite agreement, entrusted only the construction work to the petitioner.The petitioners are being developers, they have no way connected with any money transaction with the 2nd respondent.Neither there is allegation against the petitioners that the property in question was entrusted to them and that they dishonestly misappropriated it for their own use.In the result, this criminal original petition is allowed and the case in C.C.No.6264 of 2011 pending on the file of the learned XI Metropolitan Magistrate, Saidapet, Chennai, is hereby quashed insofar as it relates to A2 and A3, the petitioners herein.It is made clear that whatever the observations made hereinabove were only for the purpose of deciding the case against the petitioners/A2 and A3 and that the trial court shall not influence by such observations.The trial court shall proceed with further as against A1 in accordance with law.Since the matter has been pending for a long time, the learned Metropolitan Magistrate is directed to dispose of the same within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.10..01..2017 kmk/vsi21.The XI Metropolitan Magistrate,

+"On refusal to vacate the house by Bhajan Singh, the accused assaulted him with axe, resulting into injuries on his head, left eye and face.(29.07.2020) This criminal appeal u/s 374(2) Cr.P.C. has been filed by the appellant being aggrieved by the judgment dated 30.04.1998 passed by learned Second Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur in Session Trial No. 544/1995 convicting the appellant for the offence punishable u/s 324 IPC and sentenced to undergo RI for 1 year with fine of Rs. 1,000/- also with default stipulation.Thereafter, on intervention of Bedi Lal (PW-6), Milan Singh (PW-5) and Gopal, the accused ran away from the spot.An FIR was registered on the same day for the offence punishable under Section 307 IPC.Medical Examination of the injured/complainant Bhajan Lal was also conducted by the police 2 Cr.A. No. 1308/1998 and performed by Dr. Girish Bajpai (PW-2).After completing all other formalities, the police filed the charge-sheet.The learned trial Court has framed the charge of Section 307 IPC against the appellant.The appellant abjured his guilt, hence, the Court proceeded with trial.The learned trial Court did not find the appellant guilty for the offence of Section 307 IPC but found sufficient evidence to convict him in lesser offence i.e. Section 324 IPC and passed the sentence as aforesaid.Learned amicus curiae for the appellant submits that the learned Trial Court erred in passing the judgment of conviction whereas the appellant did not commit any offence and also there is no evidence available on record against him.The learned trial Court overlooked the fact that the evidence of the complainant Bhajan Lal (PW4) is unreliable and contrary to the FIR, police statement as well as medical evidence.Furthermore, his evidence is also not corroborated with the evidence of any other independent witness.The injury was sustained to Bhajan Lal due to falling down.He further submits that while recording the conviction against the present appellant, the learned trial Court did not consider the evidence in proper manner.There are material contradictions and omissions in the statement of prosecution witnesses, therefore, it prima facie appears that the appellant was falsely implicated in the present case by the complainant with malafide intention.The prosecution has also failed to produce the seized axe before the Court which was alleged to be 3 Cr.A. No. 1308/1998 seized from the possession of appellant.Apart from that, the learned Court also erred in not giving the benefit of probation to the appellant as per Section 360 of Cr.P.C being first offender.In this regard, he also relied on the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Dilbag Singh Vs.With the aforesaid submissions, learned amicus curiae prays for allowing this appeal.With the aforesaid submissions, he prays for dismissal of this appeal.5. Heard both the parties and perused the record.On perusal of MLC report of complainant as well as statement of Dr. Girish Bajpai (PW-2), there were four injuries found which were 4 Cr.A.

No. 1308/1998Now the next question for consideration is whether the appellant/accused inflicted injury to victim Bhajan Lal (PW-4) ?During trial, the learned trial Court has recorded the statement of six prosecution witnesses so also of accused under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. In examination in chief, the complainant- Bhajan Lal (P.W.-4) stated that when he was in the house of elder brother of his father (Bade Pita Ji), the accused was telling to the son of his father's elder brother to vacate the house.Then, the complainant requested the accused not to ask to vacate the house in rainy season.Thereafter, the accused assaulted him with axe.He further stated that after first assault, he became unconscious for three hours.Thereafter, he along with Bedi Lal, Milan Singh and Gopal Singh went to the police station to register the FIR.He also stated that he was sent to Victoria Hospital, Jabalpur, and thereafter was referred to Medical College, Jabalpur, where he was admitted for 7-8 days, The FIR was lodged promptly.In his cross examination, he admitted his relation of being maternal uncle of the accused.He narrated a different version than that of his chief examination saying that the accused was telling to his elder mother (Badi Maa) to vacate the house.He also admitted that the disputed house is in the name of mother of accused.Thus, some discrepancies are found in his statement and also on the point of his relation with the accused but it is well settled principle of law that it is difficult for witness to depose exact version of incident revealing every minute detail of incident.Cr.A. No. 1308/1998 The complainant is found stable on the point that the accused assaulted him with axe on the dispute arose from vacating the house.Further, according to the complainant, when the quarrel was going on, Milan Singh, Bedi Lal and Gopal Singh intervened and saved his life.Milan Singh was examined as PW-5 but he has turned hostile.He stated that he saw the complainant in injured condition in front of the house of Bedi Lal.He stated that when they reached Police Station, the accused was already there.In cross examination, Milan Singh has denied the fact that the accused assaulted the complainant with an axe in his presence.He has also denied the fact of intervention with Bedi Lal as well as seizure of axe from the possession of accused.He has also turned hostile and not supported the case of prosecution.He has denied all the facts put forth by the prosecution.Gopal Singh who was also said to have seen the incident, has not been examined by the prosecution.Such a witness comes with a built-in guarantee of his presence at the scene of the crime and is unlikely to spare his actual assailant(s) in order to falsely implicate someone.the accused did not challenge his presence on the spot and the statement of the complainant and Milan Singh show that some quarrel took place between the complainant and accused due to dispute of house which belongs to mother of accused.The complainant did not want to vacate the same in rainy season.There is some family relation between the accused and complainant, hence, it can be presumed that the quarrel had taken place for the house and the accused hurt the complainant.","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"ORDER Subba Rao, J.One Desappa was murdered and Certain persons were prosecuted under Section 302, Penal Code, in connection with that murder, The petitioners gave statements in that case under Section 161, Criminal P. C, in connection with the death of Desappa before the Taluk Magistrate, Dharmavaram.They stated to the effect that they had actually witnessed the assault which eventually resulted in the death of Desappa and some of them bad been asked to watch over the injured persons.Later on, in the preliminary enquiry they denied the earlier story and stated that they made the statements before the Taluk Magistrate as the police threatened them and that the statements were really made at the dictation of the police.Subsequently these witnesses were given up in the Sessions Court.The accused were tried and acquitted by the Sessions Judge, Anantapur.The learned Sessions Judge held on a consideration of the evidence that the prosecution failed to prove the case set up by them.The application was filed before the Stationary Sub-Magistrate, Dharmavaram, in the latter part of the year 1946, Both the Sub-Magistrate and the District Magistrate held that in the interests of justice a complaint should be filed against the petitioners under Section 193, Penal Code.It is no doubt true that either the statement made before the taluk Magistrate under Section 161, Criminal P.

+"In default of payment of fine, they have to undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for six months.On the aspect that the two deceased had suffered a homicidal death as a result of strangulation, we accept and believe the testimony of Dr. K.L. Sharma (PW-4), who had conducted post-mortem on the dead bodies of Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Rekha.The post-mortem reports of the deceased have been marked as Ex.PW-4/A (Rekha) and Ex.But, she has not supported the prosecution case and had stated that she was married, had children and used to reside at Sarojini Nagar.She was on friendly terms with the deceased Raju and he had been frequenting their house for about 1 years prior to the incident.She asserted that nothing as the regards the alleged offence happened in her presence and she did not remember anything.She was declared hostile and was cross-examined by the Additional Public Prosecutor.During the course of her cross- examination, she resolutely stood by and remained committed to her earlier deposition.In view of the aforesaid factual position, the prosecution sought to build its case upon circumstantial evidence.In this regard, the prosecution primarily relies upon statements of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12), father and brother, respectively, of the deceased-Shiv Pratap @ Raju.Head Constable Reshampal Singh (PW-3) had deposed about DD entry No.33A (Ex.PW-3/E) recording that an injured person was lying in the area of Police Station Vikas Puri.This DD entry was marked to Constable Manraj (PW-18) and ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19).They have deposed about the visit to the site but nothing abnormal was noticed.We shall be referring to his MLC (Ex.PW-21/A) subsequently.It is evident from the testimony of Constable Manraj (PW-18) that appellant-Ram was injured.ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19) had testified that at 3.35 A.M., the appellant-Ram came to the police station in an injured condition and told him about his quarrel with Raju, i.e. Shiv Pratap.He, i.e. ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19), went to the house No.K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi.In the cross- examination, ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19) accepted that he had not recorded any DD entry on or after arrival of the appellant-Ram to the police station.He accepted that Ram did not have any link with the DD entry No.33A. In other words, as per PW-19, he came to know about a quarrel for the first time from appellant-Ram at about 3.35 AM on 11th December, 1997 and had left for the spot in question within 4-5 minutes.However, the appellant-Ram was sent to the hospital.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 1 of 12This common judgment will dispose of the present set of appeals, which arise out of charge sheet filed in FIR No.759/1997, Police Station Vikas Puri under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC, for short).The impugned judgment dated 9 th December, 1999 convicts the four appellants for the charge of murder of Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Rekha in the intervening night of 10th/11th December, 1997 at House No.K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi.By the impugned order of sentence dated 10th December, 1999, the appellants have been sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and fine of Rs.5,000/- each for the offence under Section 302 read with Section 34, IPC.PW-4/B (Shiv Pratap @ Raju).As per the post-mortem reports, the cause of death of both persons was asphyxia caused due to repeated ligature strangulations causing mechanical obstruction of airways.The ligature material was something CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 2 of 12 hard and flexible like a belt.The aforesaid ligature strangulations were sufficient in ordinary course of nature to cause death rapidly.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 2 of 12Learned counsels for the appellants have submitted before us the testimonies of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) are on two aspects.Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) had last seen the appellants with the deceased in the evening before the intervening night of the occurrence and that in the morning of 11th December, 1997, after they had seen the dead bodies of Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Rekha, they had heard the appellants accept their involvement in the offence.The appellants have contested the testimonies of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) as being make-belief, tainted on the ground that they are propped up witnesses.It is submitted that their statements cannot be and should not be CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 3 of 12 relied upon as the basis for convicting the appellants.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 3 of 12Having perused the testimonies of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5), Satpal (PW-12), as well as those of Constable Manraj (PW-18) and ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19), we believe that two versions emerge regarding how and when the police and the said family members came to know about the occurrence.Upon returning to the police station, one of the appellants, namely, Ram came in an injured condition, who as per Constable Manraj (PW-18) informed them about the quarrel, which had taken place in premises No.K- 1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi.Ram, as per the police version and deposition of Constable Manraj (PW-18) and ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19), was not taken to the site of crime but was taken for medical examination and treatment to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital.As per PW-19, the place of incident was hardly 2.5 or 3 kilometres from the police station.PW-19 deposed that he had gone there on his scooter but it took him time, i.e. around one hour and thirty minutes, to trace the place of incident.He blamed that the colony did not have proper roads and water had accumulated due to rains.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 4 of 12It is noticeable that the MLC of appellant-Ram (Ex.Thus, on one hand, we have testimonies of Constable Manraj (PW-18) and ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19) that they came to know about an occurrence at house No.It has also come on record that the place of occurrence was not far from the police station and was at a distance of hardly 3 kilometres.We have referred to the aforesaid facts as we have some doubts and reservation regarding how and when Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12), the father and brother, respectively, of the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju came to know about the occurrence.Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State has in this connection primarily relied upon CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 5 of 12 the testimony of Satpal (PW-12), who had deposed that on 10th December, 1997, Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Savitri along with the appellants had gone to the house of Savitri at K-1C/161, Mohan Garden.His brother Shiv Pratap @ Raju thereafter did not return and about 6/6.15 A.M. they had gone to the said house and had seen that the house was open and dead bodies of Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Rekha were lying there.In his cross- examination, Satpal (PW-12) had asserted that his brother, i.e. Shiv Pratap @ Raju had informed them on telephone at 9.30/10 P.M. that he was coming, i.e. returning.Satpal (PW-12) had further testified that Shiv Pratap @ Raju occasionally used to stay in the house of Savitri.In other words, the assertion made by Satpal (PW-12) was that deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju used to reside with Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) at their common residence.However, Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) in his court deposition had asserted and testified differently, virtually accepting that the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju used to reside at Mohan Garden.He in his cross examination on behalf of Shiv Prakash on 20th November, 1998, deposed:-CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 5 of 12""My deceased son resided with me as well as [at] Mohan Garden.My son stayed at night at Mohan Garden and day time he came to me.He came to me after 1/2 days.""In his cross examination on behalf of Than Singh and Brij Mohan @ Toni, on 14th January, 1999, he testified:-""Savitri her sister Rekha, my son Shiv Pratap Singh resided in the house where the incident took place. ... My deceased son was having relation with Savitri for 2/3 years before the incident.My deceased son also came to us during that period off and on. ... My deceased son continued this practice by staying 2 or 3 days at Mohan Garden and then coming to us during 2/3 years.""Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) had claimed that Savitri was a woman of loose character and his deceased son was allured by her, which was the reason CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 6 of 12 why the deceased used to reside with Savitri.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 6 of 12We have referred to the deposition of Satpal (PW-12) and then the deposition of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) on the aforesaid aspect in some detail as both of them have deposed on the aspect of last seen together story.However, we have grave reservations on accepting the testimony of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) on the said aspect.The reason being, that in case the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Savitri used to reside and live in house No.K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi, there was no reason or cause for the appellants to visit the residence of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and thereupon ask the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Savitri (PW-2) to proceed to House No.K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi.PW-5s assertion that Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Savitri used to stay with them at day-time, i.e. during working hours, is unbelievable and not acceptable.Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) had also stated that the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju used to come after one/two days.Thus, the assertion by Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) to the effect that the appellants had come to their residence on 10th December, 1997 at about 6/6.15 P.M. in the evening and, thereafter, all of them had left for house No.K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi along with Savitri (PW-2), is questionable and lacks credibility.It is clear and lucid as accepted by Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) that he knew the appellants since some time prior to the incident.Raghav Ram Singhs (PW-5) testimony was recorded first.He accepted that his deceased son, Shiv Pratap @ Raju used to reside with Savitri.The latter was described by him as a woman who had lured his son.The statement of PW-12, Satpal on the later date, has to be read and understood with caution and care.This makes the evidence of last seen rather weak and tenuous.We are conscious and aware of the fact that the evidence of last seen is also mentioned in Ex.PW-5/A, i.e. the statement CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 7 of 12 made by Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) to ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19), which became subject matter or content of the FIR (Ex.PW-3/B).However, in spite of the aforesaid position, we are not inclined to unconditionally and unreservedly accept the version of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) on the question of last seen as deposed to by them.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 7 of 12Also, it is not comprehensible as to why on a cold December morning at about 6/6.15 A.M., Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) decided to visit the premises where the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Savitri (PW-2) used to reside.It is logical and apparent that they had information and knew about the unfortunate event.What is apparent is that Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) from the very beginning suspected involvement of the three appellants, namely, Brij Mohan @ Toni, Shiv Prakash and Than Singh.Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) had deposed that after coming back from house No.K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi, he went to the house of Shiv Prakash located opposite Bharat Properties at Vikas Nagar and there he had heard the aforesaid three appellants speaking with Savitri (PW-2).His description that he over- heard and learnt that the three and Ram had killed Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Rekha is rather stodgy and tedious.He has deposed to the effect that Savitri (PW-2) was also present there and had cried that these people had murdered Rekha and Raju.At the spot, he claimed that he had caught hold of Brij Mohan @ Toni and Satpal (PW-12) had apprehended Shiv Prakash.Police was called later on.The aforesaid assertion has been deposed in a CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 8 of 12 similar manner by Satpal (PW-12).However, the said version of over- hearing conversations at the house and candid confession and outspokenness does not inspire confidence and appears to be implausible.However, we accept that Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) may have looked around and searched for the possible suspects Brij Mohan @ Toni and Shiv Prakash and others, who were thereafter detained and arrested by the police, but the suggestion that the accused divulged and acknowledged the involvement in the crime is contrived and constructed.Thus, we are inclined to discard and disbelieve the version given by Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12) that they had heard the conversations revealing the truth taking place inside the house in the morning.Mere arrest would not prove anything unless the involvement of the said two persons is proved by acceptable and cogent evidence on record.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 8 of 12As per the testimony of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) and Satpal (PW-12), Than Singh had managed to run away from the spot.Conviction against him would also fail for the same reason, as his involvement also has not been proved beyond reasonable doubt.In the testimony of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) it has come that the deceased Rekha was sister of Savitri (PW-2).This appears to be correct and it is also apparent that Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) knew and recognised Rekha, the second deceased.This is apparent when we read Ex.PW-5/A, which was the first complaint and became the basis of the FIR (Ex.PW-3/B).Name of Rekha, i.e. the second deceased, has been specifically stated by Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5).The second deceased, i.e., Rekha was also identified by Satpal (PW-12).CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 9 of 12This brings us to the case against the appellant-Ram, which is different and initially appeared to be unimpaired and sound.As per the police version deposed to by Constable Manraj (PW-18) and ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19), appellant-Ram had come to the police station at about 3.35 A.M. on 11th December, 1997 and reported about his quarrel in which he had suffered injuries.As per ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19), he had named Shiv Pratap @ Raju and had also given the house number where the quarrel had taken place, i.e. K-1C/161, Mohan Garden, Delhi.Constable Manraj (PW-18), as noticed above, had somewhat contradicted ASI Mahinder Singh (PW-19).He was also cross-examined by the Additional Public Prosecutor but had affirmed that the appellant-Ram had not specifically informed him that he had received injuries from Shiv Pratap @ Raju.Apart from the aforesaid contradiction, which may not be fully material, we observe two circumstances which create serious and grave doubts about the actual involvement of appellant-Ram as the perpetrator who killed Shiv Pratap @ Raju and Rekha.The first circumstance is the conduct of appellant-Ram himself, in coming to the police station on his own.It was certainly not to confess the murders or out of repentance.It appears that he had suffered injuries, which are apparent from the MLC of appellant-Ram (Ex.PW-21/A).It records wounds on the parietal region, occipital region, forehead, mandible, etc. It is further recorded that the patient, i.e., appellant-Ram had consumed alcohol but was not under its influence.X- ray of the skull as well as left mandible was suggested but details are not available.What creates further doubt and suspicion on the appellant- Rams involvement is the second aspect, a written complaint which was made by Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) to the office of the Chief Minister CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 10 of 12 dated 20th December, 1997, marked as Ex.PW-5/DB.In the said complaint, Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) had expressed his apprehension that appellant-Ram has been wrongly implicated and Savitri along with other appellants, namely, Shiv Prakash, Brij Mohan @ Toni and Than Singh were involved.This complaint also records that at about 5.45 A.M. on 11 th December, 1997 appellant-Ram came to his house along with relatives and police men and informed them about the incident, i.e. the occurrence.It was claimed that Ram in fact was a prime eye witness and not a culprit.The aforesaid complaint when shown to Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) in his cross-examination was accepted.Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) admitted his signatures at point A. PW-5 also accepted that the aforesaid complaint was typed on his directions and then he had given the application to the office of the Chief Minister.This Exhibit, Ex.PW-5/DB is a document, which dents the allegations against the appellant-Ram.Thus, there is a doubt whether the appellant Ram was a perpetrator or was one of the victims of the violence by others, like the deceased, even if we accept that the appellant Ram was present in the House No.K-1C/161 at Mohan Garden, Delhi.CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 10 of 12This was a case of double murder in which two young persons had lost their lives, but the prosecution has not been able to prove their case beyond reasonable doubt against the appellants herein.The primary reason, it appears, is that Savitri (PW-2) whose sister Rekha had also died in the said occurrence, did not support the prosecution case.PW-5/DB, in fact, raises suspicion about involvement of Savitri (PW-2) in the crime.The said doubt was expressed by none other than the father of the deceased Shiv Pratap @ Raju.Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) accepted that he had given the said complaint (Ex.PW-5/DB) which was neither contradicted nor explained by either Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) or by way of re-CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 11 of 12examination of Raghav Ram Singh (PW-5) by the Additional Public Prosecutor.This could have thrown some light in case the complaint (Ex.PW-5/DB) had been made under a wrong impression or under a threat or coercion.Moreover, as noticed above, as per the prosecution case, Savitri (PW-2) was not involved in the actual offence, but her presence at the time of occurrence as an eye witness is asserted.It is not the prosecutions case that Savitri (PW-2) had suffered any injuries though her sister Rekha had died in the said occurrence.In view of the aforesaid discussion and factual position, we are inclined to grant benefit of the doubt to the appellants and their appeals are accordingly allowed.The LCR be sent back to the trial court.SANJIV KHANNA, J.ASHUTOSH KUMAR, J.FEBRUARY 12, 2015 VKR CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 12 of 12CRL.A. 6/2000+ connected appeals Page 12 of 12","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Two cartons of Sunlight Soap marked Exts.II and III containing the cakes in waxed paper bearing label ""Sunlight Soap -- Lever Bros.

- -These appeals challenge the judgment of the Principal Sessions Division, Kancheepuram District at Chengalpattu made in S.C.No.466 of 2005, whereby the appelants 6 in number stood charged under Sections 148 and 302 r/w S.149 IPC, tried and found guilty as per the charges and awarded one year R.I. each under Section 148 IPC and life imprisonment each and to pay a fine of Rs.500/-, in default to undergo one month S.I. under Section 302 r/w S.149 IPC and both the sentences were ordered to run concurrently.3.The short facts necessary for the disposal of these appeals can be stated thus:The accused were sent for judicial remand.On 19.8.2000, A-2, A-6 and A-4 were arrested.A-2 came forward to give confessional statement, which was recorded in the presence of the witnesses, the admissible part of the same was marked as Ex.The confessional statement of A-6 was recorded, the admissible part of the same was marked as Ex.P.45, pursuant to which he produced M.O.7 wooden log, which was recovered under a cover of mahazar.

Serological Report.On completion of the investigation, the Investigating Officer has filed the final report.4.The case was committed to the court of sessions and necessary charges were framed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 13 witnesses and also relied on 48 exhibits and 11 M.Os.On completion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of prosecution witnesses, which they flatly denied as false.No defence witness was examined.The trial court, after hearing the arguments advanced on either side and looking into the materials available, took the view that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and found A-1 to A-6 guilty as stated above and awarded punishments as referred to above.Hence these appeals at the instance of the appellants.5.Advancing arguments on behalf of the appellants, the learned Senior Counsel has made the following submissions:P.27, which according to the prosecution has come into existence at 10.45 p.m. on 23.7.2000, could not have come into existence as alleged by the prosecution; that according to P.W.1, the occurrence has taken place at about 9.00 p.m. and immediately, she took him to Tambaram Police station, but no statement was recorded and she was advised to go to the hospital and hence she went to Chrompet Government Hospital, but she was advised to take him to the Government General Hospital, Chennai and accordingly, she took him to the Government General Hospital and the severely injured was treated by P.W.12, the Doctor; that P.W.12 has categorically stated that he gave first aid to Krishnan at about 10.35 p.m. and noted the injuries in Ex.P.32, the accident register; that it is an admitted fact that the distance between the Government General Hospital and the Tambaram Police station is 25 Kms.; that according to P.W.12, he gave intimation immediately; that if P.W.11, the Inspector of Police has reached the Government Hospital only after receiving the intimation given by P.W.12, he could not have arrived at the Government General Hospital and recorded the statement at 10.45 p.m., i.e. within 10 minutes interval and that Ex.P.27 could not have come into existence as put forth by the prosecution.b)The learned Senior Counsel would further submit that Ex.P.27, the statement could not be believed for the simple reason that according to P.W.12, he has seen number of cut injuries and cut injuries also found on the leg; that the injuries were so much that he would have been unconscious stage and hence he could not have given any statement at all; that it is highly unnatural that he gave statement as found in Ex.P.27 and hence Ex.P.27 could not be given any credence at all; that the scene of occurrence is also highly doubtful; that according to P.W.1, she was actually inside the house; that immediately on hearing the distressing cry, she came out to see the occurrence and thus, from her evidence, it could be seen that the place of occurrence is outside the house of the deceased; that it is also seen from the evidence of P.W.12, the Doctor, who gave initial treatment and also from the post-mortem certificate that there were 29 injuries external injuries found; that if to be so, blood would have been coming out, but when the Investigating Officer has prepared observation mahazar and the rough sketch, nowhere the bloodstains found on the ground was noted; that the bloodstained earth was not recovered and thus, it would be quite clear that it is doubtful that the place of occurrence was in front of the house of the deceased as put forth by the prosecution.c)Added further the learned Senior counsel that P.W.2 could not have seen the occurrence at all; that her house is situated two streets away from the house of the deceased; that according to her, she came over there on the date of occurrence; that the reasons adduced by her is not convincing; that had P.Ws.1 and 2 been present at the time of occurrence, certainly, the deceased, who has come for treatment, would have referred about their presence, but he has not done so; that it would be quite clear that neither P.W.1 nor P.W.2 could have seen the occurrence at all; that the learned Senior counsel assailed the case of the prosecution by stating that the occurrence has taken place at 9.00 p.m. on 23.7.2000, but the F.I.R. reached the court at about 12.40 p.m. on 25.7.2000 and thus, there was an inordinate delay, which was never explained by the prosecution and that all would go to show that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove its case.d)The learned Senior Counsel would further submit that originally, when the deceased has given statement under Ex.P.27, he has referred the names of A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and the elder brother of Murugan and also a few others; that it was alleged by the prosecution that the elder brother of Murugan was A-2, but no evidence was adduced in this regard and hence so far as A-2 was concerned, identity was not fixed by the prosecution; that even in the F.I.R., the names of A-2 and A-6 were not shown; that P.W.1 would claim in her evidence that she knew all the seven accused; that if to be so, even at the earliest statement given by her, she has referred only A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and a few others and hence it would be quite clear that there was discrepancy and she has also made an attempt to develop her evidence before the court from the statement what was originally given; that all would be pointing to the falsity of the prosecution case.e)Added further the learned Senior Counsel that according to P.W.2, within half an hour from the time of occurrence, the police came there and recorded her statement; that if the prosecution case is viewed from this angle also, so much falsity was given entry and that the lower court has not considered any one of these aspects, but has found the accused guilty as per the charges and awarded punishments and hence in view of all the above circumstances, it would be quite clear that the prosecution has not brought home the guilt of the accused and therefore, the appellants are entitled for acquittal in the hands of this court.6.The court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above contentions and has paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.Though the case was originally registered under Section 307 IPC for attempt to murder and other provisions, on his death, it was altered to Section 302 IPC for murder.Following the inquest made by the Investigating Officer, the dead body was subjected to post-mortem by P.W.9, the Doctor, who has given his categorical opinion that the deceased died out of shock and haemorrhage due to 29 external injuries sustained by him.Thus, the prosecution has proved that the deceased died out of homicidal violence.This fact was never questioned by the appellants before the trial court or before this court and hence without any impediment, it has got to be factually recorded so.It is true, P.W.1 is the wife and P.W.2 is the sister of the deceased.It is a well settled proposition of law that merely because the eyewitnesses happened to be the close relatives of the deceased, their evidence need not be discarded, but it must be subjected to careful scrutiny test.Even after applying the careful scrutiny test, as done by the trial court, the court is thoroughly satisfied that their evidence has inspired the confidence of the court P.W.1 is the wife of the deceased.According to P.W.1, she along with Krishnan and other family members was taking food and Krishnan took food early and he went outside to purchase betel leaves and within a short span of time, she heard the distressing cry and came outside the house to see that the accused persons armed with deadly weapons were attacking the deceased.Merely because the deceased has not mentioned the presence of P.Ws.1 and 2 at the time when he gave statement to the police, it cannot be a reason to reject their testimony.Further, the court must also take into consideration the anxiety with which he has given statement to P.W.11, who has recorded the same.Hence on that ground, the presence of P.Ws.1 and 2 witnessing the occurrence cannot be rejected.9.So far as P.W.2 was concerned, it is true, she was residing in a house situated two streets away from the house of the deceased.She has categorically deposed that one and half month before she gave birth to a child and hence she was staying in her brother's house and on the date of occurrence, she was also taking food along with the family members.Therefore, this explanation given by her would clearly indicate that she was actually available at the time and place of occurrence.Thus, there is no reason to disbelieve her evidence.P.Ws.1 and 2 as eyewitnesses have spoken to the fact.At this juncture, it is pertinent to point out that the case was registered by P.W.11, the Inspector of Police, Tambaram Police Station on the strength of Ex.P.27, statement recorded by him when the deceased was at hospital at about 10.45 p.m. Much comment was made by the learned Senior Counsel that P.W.12 has medically examined the severely injured Krishnan at 10.35 p.m. as could be seen in Ex.P.32, the accident register copy.P.W.11 would claim that he recorded the statement of the deceased Krishnan at 10.45 p.m., which was marked as Ex.If really P.W.11 on intimation from the hospital, which is situated 25 Kms.away from the Tambaram Police station, went to the hospital and recorded the statement of the deceased, he could not have reached the hospital and recorded the statement of severely injured Krishnan at 10.45 p.m. This contention cannot be accepted for more reasons than one.According to P.W.12, he treated the deceased Krishnan at 10.35 p.m. According to him, he was conscious and was speaking to him and it was he who stated that he was attacked in front of his house by known persons.At this juncture, it is pertinent to point out that the place of occurrence at the earliest was mentioned by Krishnan.P.W.12, the Doctor has also recorded the same in Ex.P.32, the accident register copy and the place of occurrence has been mentioned that it was in front of his house.Hence so far as the scene of occurrence was concerned, no doubt would arise.10.It is true, P.W.11 has not recovered bloodstained earth from the place of occurrence, namely in front of the house of the deceased.11.It remains to be stated that immediately after the occurrence, P.W.1 took the severely injured to Tambaram Police station, where she was advised to take him directly to Chrompet Government Hospital, where not even treatment was given, but she was again advised to take him to the Government General Hospital, Chennai immediately in view of the serious condition of the injured Krishnan.Thus, it has got to be pointed out at this juncture that P.W.11, the Inspector of Police, who came to know about the same and advised P.W.1 to go to Chrompet Government Hospital, has directly proceeded to the Government General Hospital and recorded the statement of the deceased.Hence P.W.11 has proceeded from the police station to the Government General Hospital not on the intimation of the Doctor, but even prior to that, since P.W.1 has taken the injured directly to the police station after the occurrence.Therefore, the contention in this regard cannot be accepted at all.P.W.12, the Doctor, who was on duty at the Government General Hospital, has examined the severely injured Krishnan and found him to be conscious and according to his evidence, it was he who noted the contents in Ex.P.32, the accident register.Hence Ex.P.32 is the earliest document where the deceased has mentioned that known persons have attacked him with knives in front of his house and in the considered opinion of the court, it seems to be a vital document in the instant case.It was the case originally registered under Section 307 IPC and not under Section 302 IPC.It cannot be disputed that there was delay in sending the F.I.R. to the court.The case was subsequently altered to Section 302 IPC.The court is of the considered opinion that the delay that was noticed by the court by itself will not in any way affect the prosecution case, since the court is able to see necessary evidence to find out the assailants guilty.13.Originally, the statement was given by the deceased himself, which was marked as Ex.In that statement, he has stated that he was attacked by A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and elder brother of Murugan and a few others.The prosecution urged before the trial court that the elder brother of Murugan was A-2 and the lower court has also accepted the same.At this juncture, it has got to be mentioned that the identity of A-2 was not at all fixed and there was no evidence at all that the elder brother of Murugan was A-2 and hence the finding of the lower court in respect of A-2 cannot be sustained.Even from the version given by the deceased under Ex.P.27, it is stated that he was cut by A-1, A-3, A-4, A-5 and a few persons, but he has not mentioned their names.Though P.W.1 has claimed at the time of evidence that all the six persons were available at the place of occurrence, the earliest statement was only for four persons, namely A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and hence all the three persons have been subsequently added.Apart from that, even the deceased himself has mentioned in Ex.P.27 the names of four persons, namely A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and a few others, but who are those few persons and the prosecution has fixed them without any evidence.14.The Investigator has recovered the material objects on arrest and on confession and they were all subjected to chemical analysis.The prosecution came with the case that the accused persons have acted with common object.Though the prosecution was able to bring evidence in respect of A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and a few others were also available, but they cannot be fixed.However, it could be found that A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 along with others were present and had a common object of murdering the deceased and that in furtherance of the common object, they have acted so.Hence from the available evidence, the prosecution was able to show evidence for A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 and for others, evidence was not available.It is to be noted that the names of A-2 and A-6 were not found in the F.I.R. and pending same one died.As could be seen, A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 have got to be found guilty under Section 148 IPC and also Section 302 r/w S.149 IPC.Hence the judgment of the trial court in respect of A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 have got to be sustained.So far as A-2 and A-6 are concerned, they are entitled for acquittal.15.Accordingly, the conviction and sentence imposed on A-1, A-3, A-4 and A-5 by the trial court are confirmed.The conviction and sentence imposed on A-2 and A-6 are set aside and they are acquitted of the charges levelled against them. A-2 and A-6 are directed to be released forthwith unless their presence is required in connection with any other case.The fine amount if any paid by A-2 and A-6 shall be refunded to them.1.The Principal Sessions Judge, Kancheepuram District at Chengalpattu2.The Inspector of Police, Tambaram Police Station.3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, High Court, Madras.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(a) P.W.1 Kannammal is the sister of the deceased Mallika.They wereresiding at Bagawathiamman Temple Street at Kottaimedu, Thottiyam.P.Ws.2, 3, 4and 5 are also the residents of the same street and are also the relatives ofthe deceased.Heused to often quarrel with Mallika in a drunken mood.Mallika was unmarried.On 3.1.2007 at about 6.30 a.m., when the deceased went out to attend nature'scall, the accused restrained her and asked to come to his house that night.Then, P.W.1 questioned the conduct of the accused.On the same day, P.W.1 went to the ration shop in front of Venkateswara CinemaTheatre at Thottiyam for receiving the token to get free saree.At about 11.00a.m., when the deceased also went over there, the accused quarreled with her andthreatened her that he would kill her. P.W.3 also witnessed the same.At about12 Noon, when P.W.1 was in her house, P.W.5 informed her that the accused wasquarrelling with Mallika in the public road.Immediately, P.W.1 went to theplace.At about 1.15 p.m., the deceased was comingin front of the house of one Periyakkal.At the street junction, the accusedwaylaid Mallika, stabbed with a knife on her hip, thigh and again on stomach.When she fell down, he sat on her and gave number of blows.P.W.4 has alsowitnessed the occurrence.P.Ws.1 to 4 tried to go near Mallika; but, theaccused threatened them with dire consequences.Immediately, the accused fledaway from the place of occurrence.The said Mallika met her death.ImmediatelyP.W.1 went to the respondent police station and gave Ex.P1, the report.(b) P.W.8, the Sub Inspector of Police, attached to the respondent policestation, on receipt of Ex.P1, the complaint, given by P.W.1, registered a casein Crime No.5/2007 under Sec.302 of IPC, at 2.00 p.m. The express FIR Ex.P12,was sent to the Court.(c) P.W.9, the Inspector of Police, on receipt of the copy of the FIR,took up investigation, proceeded to the spot, made an inspection and preparedEx.P6, the observation mahazar, and Ex.P13, the rough sketch.Then, herecovered the material objects from the place of occurrence.He conductedinquest on the dead body of Mallika in the presence of witnesses andpanchayatdars and prepared Ex.P14, the inquest report.Then, he enquired thewitnesses and recorded their statements.The dead body was sent to theGovernment Hospital for the purpose of postmortem along with Ex.P10, therequisition.The accused volunteered togive a confessional statement which was recorded in the presence of witnesses.The admissible part is marked as Ex.P8, pursuant to which he produced M.O.1,knife, which was recovered under a cover of Ex.P9, the mahazar.He was sent forjudicial remand.(g) P.Ws.1 to 4 were taken to the Judicial Magistrate, Thuraiyur, andtheir statements were recorded under Sec.164 of Cr.P.C., which were marked asExs.P2 to P5 respectively.(Judgment of the Court was delivered by M.CHOCKALINGAM, J.) This criminal appeal has arisen from the judgment of the SessionsDivision, Tiruchirappalli, made in S.C.No.144 of 2007 whereby the soleaccused/appellant stood charged under Sections 341, 302 and 506(ii) of IPC andon trial, he was found guilty as per the charges and awarded life imprisonmentalong with a fine of Rs.1000/- and default sentence under Sec.302 IPC and fiveyears Rigorous Imprisonment under Sec.506(ii) IPC.No separate sentence wasgiven under Sec.341 IPC.2.Necessary facts for the disposal of this appeal can be stated thus:(d) P.W.7, the Senior Assistant Surgeon, attached to the GovernmentHospital, Musiri, on receipt of the said requisition, conducted autopsy on thedead body of Mallika and has given Ex.P11, the postmortem certificate, whereinhe opined that the deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhagedue to injuries to the vital organs about 20 to 24 hours prior to autopsy.(e) On 5.1.2007, P.W.9, the Investigator, came to know that the accusedsurrendered before the Judicial Magistrate No.III, Tiruchirappalli.(f) P.W.10, the Inspector of Police, took up further investigation.Hefiled an application for police custody, which was ordered.All the material objects recovered from the place ofoccurrence and from the dead body, and also M.O.1, knife, recovered from theaccused, were subjected to chemical analysis by the Forensic Sciences Departmentwhich resulted in two reports namely Ex.P22, the Chemical Analyst's report, andEx.P25, the Serologist's report.On completion of investigation, theInvestigating Officer filed the final report.3.The case was committed to Court of Sessions, and necessary charges wereframed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 10witnesses and also relied on 25 exhibits and 7 material objects.On completionof the evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused was questioned underSec.313 of Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidenceof the prosecution witnesses.He denied them as false.No defence witness wasexamined.The trial Court heard the arguments advanced, and took the view thatthe prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt, and hence, itentered a judgment of conviction and sentence which is the subject matter ofchallenge before this Court.4.Advancing arguments on behalf of the appellant, Mr.T.Senthilkumar,learned Counsel would submit that according to the prosecution, the occurrencehas taken place on 3.1.2007 at about 1.15 p.m. in a public place; that P.Ws.1 to5, who, according to the prosecution, were occurrence witnesses, were allclosely related to the deceased and also to P.W.1, her sister; that it would bequite clear that they were all interested and partisan witnesses; that accordingto the prosecution, there was a quarrel between both the deceased and theaccused even by 6.30 a.m. on that day, and it continued till the time ofoccurrence; that as far as the other part of the quarrel is concerned, all thewitnesses have given inconsistent versions; that according to P.W.6, the V.A.O.,he immediately received the information and went to the spot, and at about 1.30p.m., he was available there; but, the police did not come, and it was he whogave information to the police; that under the circumstances, the claim of theprosecution that P.W.1 went over to the police station and gave a complaint asfound under Ex.P1, was not correct, and it was rather false; that further,according to P.W.1, she was in her house, and it was P.W.5 who informed that theaccused was quarrelling with the deceased, and only on that information, sheproceeded towards the nearby ration shop; but, P.W.5 would claim that P.W.1 wasin the house, and he accompanied P.W.1, and hence, the claim of P.W.1 that shewas informed by P.W.5 was nothing but false; and that under the circumstances,both these witnesses could not have been in the place of occurrence at all.5.Added further the learned Counsel that according to the prosecution,P.Ws.3 and 4 went over to the ration shop and on their way back, they saw theoccurrence; that as far as P.W.3 was concerned, she did not go to the rationshop at all; but, her husband P.W.4 went; that contrarily, P.W.4 has deposedthat it was not he who went to the ration shop; but, it was his wife P.W.3, andthus, it is highly doubtful whether P.Ws.3 and 4 have gone to the ration shop atall on that day and witnessed the occurrence, and that part of the evidencecannot be believed; that according to the witnesses, number of occasions, theaccused attacked her with knife; but only a few injuries are noticed, and thus,the eyewitnesses could not give correct account for the injuries sustained; thatall would indicate that these witnesses could not have seen the occurrence atall; that apart from that, the medical opinion canvassed, was not in favour ofthe prosecution, and hence, the prosecution has not proved the case beyondreasonable doubt.6.The learned Counsel would further submit that in the instant case, therewas a quarrel as spoken to by the witnesses, at about 1.15 p.m. at the place ofoccurrence; that due to the quarrel, the accused has lost his control and hasacted so; that even if the fact that he has stabbed the deceased to death istaken to be proved, that would not attract the penal provision of murder; thatit is only culpable homicide not amounting to murder; and that this legal aspecthas got to be considered by this Court.7.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on all theabove contentions and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.8.It is not in controversy that one Mallika, the sister of P.W.1, was doneto death in an incident that took place at about 1.15 p.m. on 3.1.2007, at theplace of occurrence as put forth by the prosecution.Following the inquest madeby P.W.9, the Investigator, the dead body was subjected to postmortem by P.W.7,the Doctor, who has categorically opined and also deposed before the Court thatshe died out of shock and haemorrhage due to the injuries sustained.The factthat Mallika died out of homicidal violence was never questioned by theappellant/accused, and hence, without any impediment it could be factuallyrecorded so.9.In order to substantiate the charge that it was the accused who stabbedher to death, and when the eyewitnesses intervened, he criminally intimidatedthem, the prosecution had examined five witnesses as occurrence witnesses.Itis true that all these witnesses were related to the deceased and P.W.1, hersister.At the same time, it is to be pointed out that they were all closelyrelated to the accused also.Under such circumstances, the first comment madethat the witnesses are closely related and thus, they were interested in thedeceased, and they have come forward to give such evidence cannot becountenanced.All these eyewitnesses have clearly spoken in one voice that theywere all present at the place of occurrence.According to P.W.1, she was in thehouse, and on information by P.W.5, she rushed over to see the quarrel.As far as P.Ws.3 and 4 areconcerned, they were all near the ration shop.The fact that on that day,tokens for free saree were issued in the village was not in dispute.Thus, allthe witnesses have claimed that they went over to the ration shop only for thepurpose of getting the free token on that day.The occurrence has taken placeat 1.15 p.m. in a public place nearby the ration shop.All the witnesses hadoccasion to see the same.Now, the contention put forth by the learned Counselfor the appellant that according to P.W.1, she was in the house, and she wasinformed by P.W.5 about the quarrel; but, according to P.W.5, she was in thehouse, and he accompanied P.W.1 need not be given much importance for the simplereason that from the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 5 it would be quite clear that theyrushed to the spot.Who gave information is not the material fact.Whetherthey went to the place of occurrence and whether the occurrence has taken placeare material.Now all the witnesses have spoken in one voice.10.Apart from the above, the evidence of these witnesses stood fullycorroborated by the medical evidence canvassed.The postmortem certificate hasalso been issued.In the case on hand, the occurrence has taken place at about1.15 p.m. The FIR has come into existence at 2.00 p.m., and the case has beenregistered, and it has also been sent to the Court within a reasonable time.Theinquest has been made by the Investigator within a short span of time, and thewitnesses have also been examined, and their statements have been sent to theCourt on the next day.All put together would be pointing to the truth of theprosecution case.Hence, the prosecution has sufficient evidence pointing tothe complicity of the assailant namely the appellant before this Court.From the evidence available, it is quiteclear that the accused was 37 years; but the said Mallika was 45 years, and shewas unmarried.There was no proposal by him to marry her.On the contrary, hewas making a demand to share bed, which was thoroughly reflection of his immoralattitude.It was against the individual freedom and social order.According tothe evidence, it was he who often quarrelled with her in drunken mood, callingher to his house.There was nothing to provoke him.Naturally, one wouldexpect her to refuse the same, and nothing else could be expected, but, only arepulsive answer from the lady.Accordingly, she did.Thus, nothing was thereto provoke him.He armed with a weapon namely knife, stabbed herindiscriminately and caused her death instantaneously.The same was rightly done by the lower Court.12.In the result, this criminal appeal must fail and fails, and the sameis dismissed.1.The Principal Sessions Judge Tiruchirappalli2.The Inspector of Police Thottiyam Police Station Trichy District (Cr.No.5/2007)3.The Additional Public Prosecutor Madurai Bench of Madras High Court","['Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

G. Barve Nagar, Ghatkopar (West) in the year 1959-60 for project affected persons and allotting the surplus 200 tenements to the municipal employees on leave and licence basis.In the year 1966, the tenements were converted into permanent tenancy basis subject to payment of the standard rent and furnishing fresh agreements.Thus, the tenements of the members of the petitioner sangh were also liable to be converted into permanent tenancy basis.A copy of the said letter is annexed as Exhibit 'D'.It is in these circumstances that the Municipal Tenants' Association represented to the Improvement Committee of the Municipal Corporation to grant/allot the tenements in such Page 22 of 80 J.V.Salunke,PA::: Uploaded on -

No public property can be disposed off even by a public body except as authorised by law.If we agree to the request of the petitioner, none would ever vacate staff or service quarters, but retain them even after their retirement.Those in public service and fulfilling the criteria of a public servant would then have to wait for allotment of premises in the event they require them.We cannot direct a Municipal Corporation and particularly the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, which has a work force of more than one lakh employees, to grant the permanent occupancies and in the form requested.There is no dispute that it becomes difficult for the Municipal Corporation to house even the staff members who render emergency services.Thus, those working and serving in the Firebrigade, Water Works and hospitals, whose presence is required by the establishment 24/7 have to be housed at distant accommodations.In that event, their availability is a huge question mark and not assured.Therefore, when their presence is required to meet an emergency, then, all the more such request as made by the petitioners cannot be granted.Once the municipal premises have not been allotted to them independent of their identity as municipal servants, then, all the more such reliefs as are claimed in these petitions cannot be granted.Page 40 of 80::: Uploaded on - 07/02/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2017 12:15:08 :::Page 41 of 80::: Uploaded on - 07/02/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2017 12:15:08 :::Page 42 of 80::: Uploaded on - 07/02/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2017 12:15:08 :::Page 43 of 80Mr. Rupawate placed reliance on a letter, which has been addressed by the Municipal Commissioner of Greater Mumbai to the Government.We have carefully perused that letter.That letter highlights what we have Page 44 of 80 J.V.Salunke,PA::: Uploaded on - 07/02/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2017 12:15:08 ::: Judgment-WP.957.20133+.doc been shown from the records of the present petitions.The Municipal Corporation has placed before us the entire compilation of documents, based on which we must consider these cases.There are as many as five compilations placed before us by the counsel appearing for the Municipal Corporation.These compilations contain policies and relevant circulars.We have carefully considered a policy and which has been stated to be in force, which is for allotment of staff/service quarters.The circulars empower the Municipal Commissioner and higher authorities therefore to withhold the retrial benefits of those retirees who are continuing to occupy the tenements even after the permissible period.We would advert to this aspect a little later.It had not passed a firm resolution nor has taken any final and binding decision.It, as noted above, only directed that the Municipal Commissioner should forward the necessary proposal specifying the terms and conditions for allotment for due consideration and specific approval of the Municipal Corporation.There are further representations and correspondence, which would indicate as to how this whole proposal was not found to be feasible.It was not possible to pick up some tenements in occupation of retired persons and conferring on them alone the benefit of permanent Page 48 of 80 J.V.Salunke,PA::: Uploaded on - 07/02/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2017 12:15:08 ::: Judgment-WP.957.20133+.doc occupancy or tenancy.These agreements have certain sanctity and a legal efficacy.The Municipal Corporation is right in insisting that they abide by their undertakings and voluntarily surrender the premises in their possession to the Municipal Corporation.Thus, his case was that by accepting all the terms and conditions, the benefit is obtained in the form of allotment of staff quarters and municipal premises.The Municipal Commissioner points out that in the last five decades or more, new premises could not be constructed by the Municipal Corporation.It is not possible to obtain any vacant land or property for construction of new houses.The Municipal Corporation serves the residents and members of the public.The Municipal Corporation is a public body.Those joining the services of the Corporation and later on retiring from the services would never surrender or handover the municipal premises in their occupation.That would set a bad precedent.The State Government is neither accepting the stand of the Municipal Commissioner set out in his letter dated 20th December, 2007 nor has rejected it.Page 50 of 80 J.V.Salunke,"PA::: Uploaded on - 07/02/2017 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2017 12:15:08 ::: Judgment-WP.957.20133+.doc Mr. Rupawate has invited our attention to Section 64 of the MMC Act.

+"ORDER S.K. Agarwal, J.This revision has been filed against the appellate order passed by the Additional District Judge, Gorakhpur in Criminal Appeal No. 33 of 2000, arising from the order dated 17-10-2000 passed by the Juvenile Judge.Gorakhpur in Crime Case No. 277 of 2000 (State v. Vikrant alias Sonu) under Section 377/511, I.P.C. Police Station Badhalganj, District Gorakhpur.On 7-8-2000 a report was lodged against the applicant for an offence under Section 377/511, I.P.C. PS Badhalganj.The case was registered as Crime No. 277/2000/-.When the charge sheet was submitted in court the applicant claimed himself to be a juvenile and sought the benefit of Juvenile Justice Act thereby desired to be tried by a Juvenile Judge.The informant opposite party No. 2 strongly contested the claim of his being a juvenile in revision and advanced the submission that he appeared in High School examination in 1998 from National Inter College Badhalganj.The said school has not issued a certificate to him on his demand.It is demanding an appropriate order from the Court for issuing the same to him.He made an application before Juvenile Judge for giving him necessary order in this regard.An order was given but despite that the copy of school leaving certificate was not issued to him.Despite that the court rejected his plea on the ground that no power is available to it under the law to force the Principal of National Inter College, Badhalganj to send a copy of the same or to direct him to appear in this court along with the necessary documents.The applicant was subjected to medical examination also.The medical examination report shows that he was about 17 years at the time of his medical examination.The complainant-informant had also filed a copy of extract of Parivar Register.This had been challenged by the father of the accused by filing an affidavit wherein it has been averred that in the copy filed by the informant the date of birth was wrongly shown.Apart from it the date shown therein is that of his eldest son and not of this applicant.No counter-affidavit was filed by the informant to the affidavit filed by the father of this applicant.In these circumstances the Juvenile Court preferred to accept the High School Certificate produced by the father of the applicant as admissible in evidence.Placing the reliance on the documents he declared the applicant a Juvenile.In the impugned appeal the above order was disturbed.It was seriously contended by the complainant informant opposite party No. 2 that the trial Judge has erred in not making a serious endeavour to call for the record from the National Inter College.Badhalganj from where this applicant had appeared in High School examination and failed.It would have furnished substantive evidence.The trial Court had failed to appreciated it.But there is a very important circumstance which goes in favour of the applicant that his father had filed an affidavit challenging the date of birth shown in the extract of Parivar Register filed by opposite party No. 2 before the Juvenile Court and adverted certain facts in order to prove the applicant a juvenile.As no counter-affidavit was filed to the affidavit by the opposite party No. 2 alleging that the entries of extract are fake and were procured to deny the applicant benefit of being a Juvenile.In these circumstances the trial Court thought it better to place reliance on the High School Certificate produced by the applicant.The most crucial fact, which may have impressed the formation of the opinion, is that failure to file any response to an affidavit disputing entries of extract of Parivar Register filed by him.It makes it clear that the informant opposite party No. 2 had been manipulating the evidence against the applicant.I am not inclined in view of the fact and circumstances discussed above in favour the applicant that he in all likelihood was a Juvenile when he committed the offence or even when he made his application for such a declaration before the court.In these circumstances adverted to above I find force in the submissions.This revision deserves to be allowed.The order dated 17-10-2000 is hereby restored.The applicant is declared a juvenile.",['Section 511 in The Indian

+"(2).The facts of the case are that in the year 2008-09 the Government of India authorized the firm Amit Kumar Atul Kumar Gautampura to buy wheat for FCI.On 29.04.2008 Mr. Amit Kumar and Ashish purchased 340 sacks of wheat from the farmers and it was loaded in a Truck bearing registration No.MP-09-K-1799 for sending it to Laxmibai Central Warehouse Indore.The truck was driven by Prakash and one Nilesh was cleaner of the vehicle.When at about 12:30 am the truck reached between Agra and Ushapura, one white Maruti van without having any registration number came from behind and stood in the middle of the road, this forced the driver to stop his truck.Thereafter 5-7 persons came out of the Maruti Van and 2 they entered into the truck from both the sides.One of them pulled the driver out and he started driving the truck.They also threatened to kill the driver Prakash.When the truck reached Khajuriya then culprits shifted the driver and cleaner into Maruti Van and they took the Maruti van towards Aerodrum.They took the driver and cleaner to the field and tied them with a rope and left from there threatening to kill them.Thereafter Prakash and Nilesh opened the rope and reached Lebad where they informed the incident to Yashpal through public telephone.Then they reported the matter to the police station Depalpur and lodged FIR (Ex-14).(14/01/2020) The applicant has preferred this appeal under Section 454 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 01.03.2017 passed by Third Additional Session Judge, Indore in MJC No.9114/2017 whereby the application filed by the applicants under Section 451 & 452 of Cr.p.C. has been rejected by which they prayed for interim custody of seized property (340 sacks of wheat).(3).During the investigation police arrested the applicants and on the basis of their memorandum recorded under Section 27 of Evidence Act, recovered 200 sacks of wheat from Vasudev, 100 sacks from Baliram and 7 sacks from Rajesh.Thereafter police apprehended the Lakhan, Liladhar and Gabbar and on the basis of information given by Liladhar 10 sacks of wheat was seized from him.After completion of the investigation, charge sheet was filed against the accused person before the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class, Depalpur.The learned Magistrate committed the case to the court of Session and after completion of trial applicants and other co-accused persons were acquitted from the charge under Section 395, 365, 506-B and 412 of I.P.C. vide judgment dated 29.09.2016 3 passed by Third Additional Sessions Judge, Indore.However, the trial court directed to hand over the seized wheat to its owner.Being dissatisfied with the aforesaid order, the applicants preferred this appeal under Section 454 of Cr.P.C.(4).This order was challenged by the complainant in revision petition No.351/2008 filed before the 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Indore.The said revision petition was allowed vide order dated 24.05.2008 and complainant was directed to file fresh application before the trial court for getting interim custody of the wheat.Revisional court also ordered that any objection raised by the present applicants in relation to the application will be considered by the trial court.But complainant did not complied with the said order then the applicants moved an application before the trial court on 24.08.2009 for interim custody of seized property but it was not decided and kept pending.The trial court vide judgment dated 29.09.2016 directed that the seized property will remain in the custody of the complainant which already given to the complainant in interim custody.It is further submitted that from very beginning of the investigation and trial the applicants were claiming seized property stating that they are the owner of the said property.But the trial court did not consider the facts and even without deciding the pending application of the applicants pass a final judgment and orders to return the seized property to the complainant.Hence, learned counsel for the applicants prays for setting aside the impugned order and prayed that seized property (340 sacks) be handed over to the applicants.(5).Learned Public Prosecutor supported the finding given by the trial court regarding the custody of seized property and prays for dismissal of the petition.(6).From perusal of the record of the trial court, it 5 appears that the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Depalpur vide its order dated 30.06.2008 allowed the application filed by the complainant for taking the seized wheat in interim custody and direct the police to hand over 50 quintal of seized wheat to complainant M/s Amit Kumar Atul Kumar and in compliance of the aforesaid order the wheat was given to Vijay Kumar Jhajri on supurdginama.Thus, it is clear that the wheat was already handed over to the complainant party on supurdginama by the trial court and revisional court has not recall its interim order dated 24.05.08 regarding interim custody of wheat, therefore, the complainant party has not filed fresh application for getting of the seized wheat on Supurdginama.(7).Although the applicants moved an application before the Court of Third Additional Session Judge, Indore for granting interim custody of the wheat but this application has not been decided by the trial court and the order-sheet does not disclose that any point of time the counsel for the applicants had prayed for hearing the aforesaid application.After completion of the trial though accused persons were acquitted however seized property (wheat) was directed to 6 return to the complainant party.(8).From the perusal of the record of the trial court it does not reflect that applicants/accused did not make any claim in their examination recorded under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. that they are the owner of the seized wheat, to contrary they have denied the seizure of the wheat from their possession.They also not filed any documents to establish that they are the owner of the seized property.The applicants and other co-accused have been acquitted by the trial court only on the basis that the prosecution has failed to establish that the wheat has been recovered from the possession of the accused persons on the basis of their memorandum recorded under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act. Therefore, merely on the ground that during, the trial applicants have filed an application for interim custody of the seized wheat, it cannot be said that they are entitled to get seized property after completion of the trial.Hence, the present appeal filed by the applicants is hereby dismissed.(S.

+"S. P. Verma for the appellant.C. P. Lal for the respondent.The Judgment of the Court was delivered byBOSE J.-Twenty-four persons, among them the two appellants,were tried for offences under sections 148, 307/149 and302/149, Indian Penal Code.Sixteen were acquitted and theremainmg eight were convicted.On appeal to the High Courtfive more were acquitted and the only ones whose convictionswere upheld were the two appellants, Nar Singh and RoshanSingh, and one Nanhu Singh.By a curious misreading of the evidence this Nanhu Singh wasmixed up with Bechan Singh.What the High Court reallymeant to do was to convict Bechan Singh and acquit NanhuSingh.Instead of that they acquitted Bechan Singh andconvicted Nanhu Singh.As soon as the learned High CourtJudges realised their mistake they communicated with theState Government and an order was thereupon passed by thatGovernment remitting the sentence mistakenly Passed on Nanhuand directing that he be released.This occasioned an application under article 134(1) (c) ofthe Constitution by Nanhu Singh and the two appellants NarSingh and Roshan Singh for a certificate.They are quite clear as to whatthey would have done if, in their judgment, the law had leftthem scope for the exercise of any discretion, for they say-"" Ordinarily no certificate can be granted to them as thereis nothing of an exceptional nature in their cases.""We hold therefore that the certificate was wrongly grantedto the appellants and will treat their case as one underarticle 136(1) for special leave.The High Court gives a clear finding thatthere were more than five persons and believes the eye-witnesses who identify the two appellants.A numberof persons joined in an attack at two in the morning onhelpless persons who were asleep in bed.At least one ofthe assailants was armed either with a gun or a pistol.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"She had given to the examining doctor the history of injury to be ""fall"".She was referred to the surgery department.There was history of pain in the abdomen and vomiting.There is nothing in the MLC which could indicate that she was unconscious at any stage.In due course, the parental family had also come to the hospital.Soon thereafter, there was a change of story.The parents and the complainant insisted that MLC be recorded.In the same context, it may be mentioned that PW-7, the father of the complainant, in the course of his evidence would claim that when he had arrived at the hospital none of the members of the Crl.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 4 of 10The complainant, in the course of her testimony (as PW-2) spoke about she having lost consciousness.The matter was then being followed up by Head Constable Hari Prakash (PW-9), who would confirm that he had gone to the hospital and met the complainant and her relatives.He would do so regularly.Thus, the first version that was offered by the complainant was after a gap of about ten days of the accident wherein she had suffered ruptured liver, it being a dangerous injury on which account she had to be shifted to the hospital.In the statement (Ex.PW-1/A) which formed the basis of endorsement by PW-12 Crl.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 5 of 10 leading to registration of the FIR (Ex.As noted earlier, no such incident had taken place on 22.04.1998 since later testimony would relate to what had happened on 23.04.1998, her father (PW-7) even having spoken about the visit to the matrimonial home on 23.04.1998 to handover Rs.20,000/- in cash.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 5 of 10She alleged that she had visited her father's house to arrange for the demand to be fulfilled, she being accompanied by her husband (A1), her father having given her cash of Rs.5,000/- stating that he was unable to make any further arrangement.She further alleged that after a few days she was physically assaulted, at about 12 o'clock in midnight, by the appellants herein and the two sisters-in-law (Kavita and Varsha) and turned out of the house, she being asked to go back to her father's house and arrange for a plot of land from him.She stated that against the said backdrop she had remained at her parental home for about 8-10 months and that, after a panchyat had been held, assurances having been held out, she was taken back by the appellants to their house.While lodging complaint (on 04.05.1998), she spoke about another incident that had occurred eighteen days prior thereto in which a Maruti car had been demanded and when she had declined to acceded to such demand, she was asked to bring Rs.20,000/- and the documents of the house of her father in lal dora, and also arrange for Crl.By judgment dated 29.07.2002 in Sessions Case No.87/1998, the Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) held the appellants guilty and convicted on charge for the offence under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC).The trial had been held on the basis of charges for offences punishable under Sections 307/34 IPC, Section 498-A/34 IPC and Section 406/34 IPC, the case also involving two others, namely, Kavita and Varsha as accused.By the aforementioned judgment, the trial court held that charges under Section 307/34 IPC and sections 406/34 IPC had not been proved.It was also held that the prosecution had failed to prove the complicity of Kavita and Varsha, Crl.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 1 of 10 who were thus, acquitted.By order dated 30.07.2002, the trial Judge awarded rigorous imprisonment for three years with fine of Rs.2,000/- each as sentence for offence under Section 498-A IPC against the appellants herein directing that in default of payment of fine they would undergo further rigorous imprisonment for three months, extending to them the benefit of set off under Section 428 Cr.P.C.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 1 of 10Feeling aggrieved by the conviction for the offence under Section 498-A IPC and by the order on sentence passed in its wake, the present appeal was filed, the prime contention being that it is a motivated case set up on false accusations.The acquittal of the appellants on the charge for offence under section 307 and 406 read with section 34 IPC or, for that matter, the acquittal of Kavita and Varsha on all the charges, on which they were put on trial, has not been challenged by the State by any appeal or petition.The said decision of the trial court, thus, has attained finality.This appeal was presented in August, 2002 and the sentences were suspended by order dated 05.08.2002 whereby the appeal was entertained.The turn of the appeal to be taken up for final hearing has come up from the list of regulars after more than sixteen years.Submissions of both sides have been heard at length and the record has been perused.The second appellant Om Prakash (A2) is the father of Crl.Kavita (A4) and Varsha (A5), who were also tried, were unmarried sisters of A1, role having been attributed to each of them in the various episodes that were narrated as the basis of accusations of cruelty being meted out to the complainant [Sunita (PW-2)].The prosecution case primarily depended on the evidence of PW-2 and her parents, viz., Savitri (PW-5) and Kartar Singh (PW-7).Appeal No.587/2002 Page 2 of 10Prosecution had also referred to the evidence of Naresh (PW-8), maternal uncle of the complainant.But then, the procedure adopted for taking on board his version is unknown to law.He was not examined by the prosecution, but simply tendered for cross- examination at the hands of the defence counsel.His version, therefore, is not available.Interestingly, in the present case the statement of the complainant was also recorded by Mr. B.S. Jaglan (PW-12) sub- divisional magistrate (SDM), during the time she was assumably under treatment in the hospital for certain injury, even though there is nothing on record indicating any reason to believe that the complainant was under risk of losing her life on account of such injury.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 3 of 10The sequence of events leading to the registration of the first information report (FIR) No.242/1998 in the Police Station Paschim Vihar on 04.05.1998 need to be noted at the outset.This is recorded in the MLC (Ex.The document makes an interesting reading, its author PW-6 confirming the contents to the effect that when the victim was brought to the casualty of the said hospital, she was accompanied by her husband (A1).Appeal No.587/2002 Page 4 of 10 matrimonial family of the complainant, i.e., appellants herein, were present there.This apparently cannot be believed because there is substantive evidence to show that it was the husband (A1) who had taken the wife (the complainant) first to a private nursing home and from there, upon reference, to DDU hospital, the complainant having remained hospitalized there for a long time.During the course of treatment, the complainant underwent surgery, her liver having been found to be ruptured, it being an internal injury.There is also evidence brought on record, primarily through the defence witness, and the trial court believed the same, to accept the defence version that the husband (A1) and one of his friend Rajinder had donated blood for aiding and assisting the successful surgical procedure for the complainant.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 6 of 10 surety for loan to be taken for a car.She alleged that when she had refused to accept all these demands, she was physically assaulted by the appellants and the said two sisters-in-law with legs and fists, this having resulted in she suffering injuries and losing consciousness.The entire story narrated in the FIR cannot be believed per se inasmuch as the MLC in contrast would show that she had been brought to DDU hospital one day prior to what she would project to be the date on which she was taken there, her statement in the court confirming that she was taken from the nursing home directly to the said hospital.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 6 of 10She stated that at about 6:00 a.m. when she was feeding her daughter, the parents-in-law, accompanied by the two sisters-in-law, had come and had brought up the subject of the house in lal-dora area and a cash of Rs.50,000/- in cash.She stated that when she had refused to go to the parental home to make such arrangements, the mother-in-law and the two sisters-in-law tried to strangulate her with hands.She also stated that the husband had come on the scene at that stage and with the assistance of his mother, father and two sisters he had beaten her rendering her unconscious.She spoke about visit to the house by a Crl.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 7 of 10 private doctor on whose advice she was taken to a private nursing home and from there to the other hospital.On further questioning, she also spoke about certain demands made in the past, this leading to cash of Rs.20,000/- and Rs.17,000/- having been given on two different occasions.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 7 of 10The statement forming the basis of FIR does not match with statement before SDM.Statement more or less on the above lines given by PW-2 during the court deposition consists of lot of improvements.The contradictions arising out of such improvements were brought out by extensive cross-examination.Her parents (PW-5 and PW-7) also deposed similarly, their respective cross-examination also bringing out many an improvement on material aspects.Similar is the case of the cash of Rs.50,000/- being demanded.The trial court examined the evidence which had been led and found it difficult to believe that there had been any attempt on the life of the complainant.Taking note of the first version to the medical officer (before whom the complainant had been brought) on 24.04.1998 indicating the history of injury to be a ""fall"", the trial Judge refused to believe the complainant in her allegations that she had been subjected to intentional assault by fists and legs at the hands of the husband or any of the members of his family.The trial Judge refused to believe that the sisters-in-law (Kavita and Varsha) had any Crl.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 8 of 10 role to play in any harassment - physical or mental - meted out to the complainant in the matrimonial home.Even which rejecting the evidence to such effect, the version of the complainant and the word of her parents has been accepted to return finding of guilty against the appellants for the offence under Section 498-A IPC.This, in the considered opinion of this court was inherently contradictory and most unfair.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 8 of 10Upon appreciation of evidence, it is indeed difficult to believe the allegations against Kavita and Varsha.But, while rejecting the case against said two persons that very evidence attributing similar role concerning the appellants on same set of incidents has been accepted on its face value.In view of the somersault as to the history of the serious injuries with which the complainant had been brought to the hospital on 24.04.1998, the theory of fall as the cause of injury having been accepted, the version of the complainant as to the intentional assaults by the appellants is rendered in very poor light this seriously affecting her credibility.As noted earlier, despite opportunity, and the approach by the police official on regular basis, even while she was in hospital, the complainant consciously avoided giving any version.The MLC itself shows that the change of the version from the original one of ""fall"" (which has been accepted by the trial court) was at the instance of the parents.The fact that the statement alleging history of harassment for dowry was lodged after a period of ten days renders it a case possibly of an afterthought, such delay, in the facts and circumstances, having remained unexplained.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 9 of 10Doubts arise as to the purity and wholesomeness of the version forming its basis.In above view, this court concludes that the word of PW-2, as indeed that of her parents, cannot be accepted on its face value.The appellants deserve the benefit of such doubts.Thus, the appeal is allowed.The impugned judgment and order on sentence are set aside.Trial court record be sent back forthwith.R.K.GAUBA, J.APRIL 03, 2019 vk Crl.Appeal No.587/2002 Page 10 of 10Appeal No.587/2002 Page 10 of 10","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"It is alleged that Accused No. 1 was arrested on the same night and that the Police thereafter went in search of original Accused Nos. 2 to 5, who are the present Appellants, at their respective villages.The prosecution alleges that the four Accused came to be arrested in quick succession and that a relatively large amount of property in the form of gold, jewellery and currency notes, etc., was either discovered at their instance or recovered by the Police in the course of the investigations.JUDGMENT Saldanha, J.It was alleged that the present Appellants, along with original Accused No. 1, had committed an act of dacoity with murder on 7-10-1984 at flat No. 18, 8/2 situate on the 18th floor of Woodlands building, Peddar Road, Bombay.It was alleged by the Prosecution that the five Accused were instrumental in tying up, gagging and ultimately committing the murder of a sole inmate of the flat one Veerchand Dhanji Tajani at about 4 p.m. on the afternoon on that day.It was further alleged that after committing the aforesaid murder, the Accused had ransacked the flat and that Accused Nos. 2 to 5 had hurriedly left the building; whereas Accused No. 1 was found in a tied condition near the entrance of the flat.According to the Prosecution, one Dr. Shroff, who is a neighbour, had noticed original Accused No. 1, who was a servant employed by Tajani, in a tied condition near the entrance of the flat and that he had informed the liftman, Suresh Mohite (P.W. 4), to bring this fact to the notice of the Security Officer.When Suresh Mohite informed the Security Officer, Bali (P.W. 1), he immediately came up and on entering the flat of Veerchand Tajani found him in a tied condition on the bed.Since Veerchand Tajani was already dead, Bali lodged a complaint with the Police, who immediately came there and commenced their investigations.The Prosecution further alleges that the sister-in-law of the deceased and her son were shown the property that was recovered from Accused Nos. 2 to 5 and that a greater part of this property, which was in the form of jewellery, has been identified by them.Ultimately, on completion of the investigations, Accused Nos. 1 to 5 were put on trial.The learned Additional Sessions Judge, Greater Bombay, at the conclusion of the trial was of the view that there was no evidence against Accused No. 1 and, consequently, acquitted him.As far as Accused Nos. 2 to 5 are concerned, they were convicted of the offence of robbery punishable under Section 392 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for ten years.Accused Nos. 2 to 5 were further convicted of the offence punishable under Section 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life, the respective sentences to run concurrently.As regards the alternative charge under Section 411 of the Indian penal Code against Accused Nos. 2 to 5, in view of the aforesaid conviction, the learned Trial Judge dropped this particular charge.The evidence adduced by the Prosecution falls under certain broad heads, the first of them being the evidence of certain witnesses on the basis of which the Prosecution seeks to establish the presence of the present Accused at the scene of offence.Thereafter there is the evidence relating to the discovery, recovery and seizure of the property by the Police and the simultaneous arrest of Accused Nos. 2 to 5 from their respective native places, all of which has taken place in quick succession in the immediate days following the incident.Thereafter the Prosecution has sought to rely also on the fingerprint evidence, particularly that of one of the fingerprints which is attributed to Accused No. 2 and which, according to the Prosecution, was found on a bottle in the flat of the deceased.The next head of evidence on which the Prosecution relies is the identity of the jewellery and the property by the sister-in-law of the deceased, Mrs. Tajani, her son and one Zhavari (P.W. 24), who is an approved valuer.Lastly, there is the evidence of the respective police officers who have recounted the manner in which the investigation was conducted, the manner in which the Accused were traced and arrested.They have deposed about the manner in which the property was retrieved and the other supportive evidence was gathered.It will be essential in the present case, in keeping with the well set law relating to circumstantial evidence, that this Court will have to examine each of the circumstances alleged against the Accused and will have to come to the conclusion that the chain of circumstances, which consists of several links, indicates that every link has been properly established and that the chain of circumstances lead to only one irresistible conclusion which points to the guilt of the Accused and to nothing else.This is all the more necessary because the Accused in their defence have neither admitted their presence nor have they admitted any recovery of property at their instance.They have taken up a defence of total denial.In this view of the matter, the Prosecution case will have to be established on its independent footing in so far as the Accused have admitted nothing.As far as the first head of evidence is concerned, the liftman, Suresh Mohite (P.W. 4) has deposed about what had happened on that afternoon.He states that the car lights of a vehicle belonging to one Mr. Apte, who resides on the 24th floor of that building, were found to be on and he was instructed to go up to the flat on the 24th floor and to inform Mr. Apte of this fact.He gives the time as 4 p.m. in the afternoon and states that he had gone to the flat at the instance of Bali (P.W. 1), the Security Officer, and that he conveyed the message at Mr. Apte's flat on the 24th floor.Thereafter he pressed the lift button and got into the lift when it came to the 24th floor.He states that on the way down, the lift automatically stopped at the 19th floor and four young persons boarded the lift, out of whom one was carrying a bag.Another incident occurred immediately thereafter, namely, that when the liftman came to the 18th floor, Dr. Shroff told Suresh Mohite (P.W. 4) that the servant of Mr. Tajani was lying in a tied condition outside the flat and that he should call the Security Officer.This was something unusual and out of the ordinary pattern and it is in all probability this circumstance of what transpired thereafter which made Suresh Mohite recall the fact that he had seen the four persons boarding the lift and leaving the building at that time and, furthermore, that their faces had got registered in his memory because of the fact that they appeared to be frightened.Suresh Mohite (P.W. 4) thereafter informed Bali (P.W. 1) who, in turn, came to the flat and discovered the inmate of the flat, Mr. Tejani in a dead condition.Obviously news must have spread all around the building particularly when the Police were immediately called in and the most pertinent question which the liftman and th security staff must have been asked by everybody, including the Police, was with regard to who were the persons seen entering and leaving the building around that time.Unfortunately, the matter does not rest there because, as pointed out earlier, Suresh Mohite has identified the four Accused on the 19th October 1984 when his statement was recorded by the Police and when these Accused, along with other persons, were in the Police Station.He has also identified the Accused in the Court.It is true that there is a minor discrepancy in his evidence in so far as he has stated that it was Accused No. 4 who was carrying the bag in the course of his evidence; whereas the defence has brought it on record that he had told the Police that Accused No. 3 was the person carrying the bag.The incident has taken place in the day time.The Accused had boarded the lift on the 19th floor that was closeby to the place where the incident took place and an unusual incident had also occurred immediately thereafter when Suresh Mohite (P.W. 4) was informed about Accused No. 1 being in a tied condition.A cumulative effect of these factors does lead us to believe that if the memory of this witness were such that he could point out the four Accused not only to the Police but also in the course of the trial that his evidence on the point of identification and on the all important aspect of establishing the presence of the Accused in the building at that time will have to be accepted.The Prosecution has also relied on the evidence of one maid servant Jayashree Gawade (P.W. 3), who knows Accused No. 3 personally.It appears that initially this witness had turned hostile obviously because she did not want to give evidence against Accused No. 3 whereupon she was cross-examined and material portions of her Police Statement were brought on record in the course of the cross-examination which, in turn, have been proved through the Investigating Officer.Jayashree has stated that Accused No. 3 hurriedly came to the adjoining Shanti Building and that he had told her that he had been removed from service, that he hurriedly handed over an amount of Rs. 450/- to her with a message that Rs. 200/- should be given to his brother Yeshwant and that he also informed her that there was a taxi waiting downstairs as he was leaving for his native place.The evidence of this witness will at the highest indicate that Accused No. 3 on that afternoon had suddenly come into possession of a certain amount of money and that he was in a hurry to leave for his native place.By themselves, these circumstances may appear to be innocuous, but in the light of the fact that this Accused No. 3 was one of the persons who had taken part in the incident which culminated in the death of Mr. Tejani and the ransacking of his flat and that he immediately thereafter came with a certain amount of currency and hurriedly left to his native place would have to be regarded as incriminating circumstances against him in the light of the connection with the earlier incident.The Prosecution has examined Krishnabai More (P.W. 7), who is a maid servant working in the adjoining building by the name Sheth Minar on Peddar Road.This witness has deposed to the fact that Accused No. 3 collected his salary on the afternoon of that day from the person with whom he was working on the pretext that he had to leave for his native place urgently and further that Accused No. 2 had also accompanied him at that time.Again, the fact that Accused No. 3 wanted to collect his salary and go away to his native place or the fact that he was accompanied by Accused No. 2 may, in themselves, appear to be innocuous circumstances, but this Court will have to take note of two factors of some significance, the first of them being that Accused No. 3 was in a desperate hurry to collect his salary for which he waited for some time, that he was accompanied by Accused No. 2 and that he had also stated that he was leaving for his native place urgently without disclosing any special reason for this visit.The urgency and the hurry displayed by Accused No. 3 on that afternoon is a circumstance that would go heavily against him in the light of the fact that his presence at the scene of offence a short time earlier was established and it was, therefore, clear that Accused No. 3 in the company of Accused No. 2 had decided to leave the city immediately which is consistent more with his guilt than with his innocence having regard to his connection with the offence.The Prosecution has also examined Yeshwant Kamble (P.W. 8), who is a Security Supervisor of the Sheth Minar Building on Peddar Road.He has deposed about two facts, the first of them being the friendship between Accused Nos. 1, 2 and 3, and the fact that on the date of the incident at about 4-30 p.m. he had seen Accused Nos. 2 and 3 visiting the building and that he had also seen them leaving, one of them carrying a bag and the second one carrying some other item.It is true that this witness is a security supervisor of the adjoining building.Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Appellants have vigorously attacked the evidence of this witness and the earlier two in so far as they have pointed out that there is no doubt whatsoever of the fact that the Police have just picked these persons up and recorded vague statements with the sole object of trying to establish the presence of the Accused at or near the place of the incident.Learned Counsel have also contended that even the evidence taken at its face value would at the highest show that Accused Nos. 2 and 3 were around the said Sheth Minar Building on that day and that they left in the afternoon, but this would not establish their presence at the Woodlands Building.It is necessary to bear in mind that in the light of the earlier evidence of Suresh Mohite (P.W. 4) and the Security Supervisor Bali (P.W. 1) and the fact that the incident had just taken place in the Woodlands Building, the presence of these two Accused in the adjoining building and their hurried departure from that place are circumstances of some consequence and are circumstances that fully fit in with and establish the Prosecution theory.The cumulative effect of the evidence of these witnesses will, undisputedly, indicate that the Prosecution has brought on record sufficient evidence to establish the presence of Accused Nos. 2 to 5 at and around the scene of offence on the date of the incident and the manner in which they have left therefrom.Before dealing with the strongest circumstance against the present Accused, namely, the recovery of a substantial amount of property, it is necessary for us to refer to the evidence relating to the finger prints.Bhimrao Shinde (P.W. 13), who is a Finger Print Expert, has been examined as also Dattatraya Kathe (P.W. 14), who is a Police Photographer.It is alleged that the Police discovered chance finger prints which were sent to the expert for comparison with the admitted finger prints of the four Accused.The defence Counsel have seriously challenged this finding before the Trial Court and a reading of the very detailed cross-examination will indicate that the challenge put forward was a very substantial one.The learned Additional Sessions Judge has supported his conclusion with detailed reasoning.It has been argued on behalf of the defence that there is nothing unusual or incriminating about the Accused wanting to go to their home town.One factor needs to be borne in mind, namely, that the four Accused leaving Bombay at the same time and not being able to put forward any special reason for their wanting to leave Bombay, where all of them were working, in such a hurry, and going to their native places is a circumstance that is more against the Accused than one that can be regarded as being in their favour.The Police have brought on record the most incriminating evidence in this case, namely, the fact that immediately on the night of 7-10-1984 itself the investigating authorities came to know the names and addresses of all the four assailants.The Police have immediately swung into action and significantly in more than one of the cases the Police reached the native place even before the concerned Accused got there.The Prosecution has examined the respective Police Constables and the Investigating Officers who had gone to these places, traced out the Accused and arrested them and brought them to Bombay.For the purposes of setting at rest this controversy, it would be both necessary and useful to refer to the evidence of Hemlata Manilal Tejani (P.W. 17), the sister-in-law of the deceased, and her son Amrish Manilal Tejani (P.W. 19), nephew of the deceased.These two witnesses are close relations of the deceased and it has come on record that they used to visit his flat and they were familiar with his possessions.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal

+"JUDGMENT P.D. Mulye, J.This is a petition filed by the petitioner under Section 482, Criminal Procedure Code, against the order dated August 10, 1983, passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Indore, in Criminal Case No. 1075 of 1980, whereby the respondent has been discharged.In the alternative it is also prayed that if the impugned order is treated to be an acquittal, then the petitioner be granted leave under Section 378, Criminal Procedure Code, to prefer an appeal against the acquittal of the respondent.The facts giving rise to this petition may be stated, in brief, thus : The petitioner, who is an Income-tax Officer, in the capacity of a public servant, after obtaining the necessary sanction, filed a criminal complaint under Section 200 of the Criminal Procedure Code, against the respondent, who is an income-tax assessee, for an offence under Section 420 read with Section 511 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 277 of the Income-tax Act on the ground that for the assessment years 1965-66 and 1966-67, the respondent had submitted false returns by concealing certain income which was assessable to tax.Therefore, for income escaping assessment, action was taken against the respondent by issuing notice under Section 148 of the Income-tax Act. Thus, the respondent had submitted false returns with an intent to deceive and defraud the Income-tax Department and to secure a favourable order of assessment.The case was adjourned from time to time for recording evidence before charge but despite obtaining several opportunities, the petitioner did not adduce any evidence in support of the complaint.On August 10, 1983, also, the complainant was absent.The respondent submitted an application under Section 245(2), Criminal Procedure Code, along with a certified copy of the judgment of the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal (Ex. D-1) to point out that the fact of concealment of income for the years complained of was held as disproved.The learned trial court, therefore, discharged the respondent on the ground that there is no evidence which if unrebutted would warrant a conviction of the accused.Hence, this petition.The learned counsel for the petitioner did not dispute the fact that the learned trial court had given several opportunities to the petitioner to lead evidence before charge but no evidence was led.",['Section 511 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The case of the prosecution is as follows:-PW1 is the son of one Mayavu, the deceased.The first accused is the son of deceased Mayavu's wife's sister.A2 is the co-brother of the deceased.Three months prior to the occurrence, PW1 conducted panchayat and performed the marriage between A1 and the person whom A1 loved by name Rani But that marriage was conducted without the consent of A2 and therefore, there was enmity between the family of the accused and the family of the deceased.On 2.6.1994 at about 8.30 pm, while PW1 and his father were sitting in front of their house, the first accused came with MO1 Bamboo stick and A2 with MO2 stick.On seeing them PW1, PW2 and the deceased tried to enter into their house in order to avoid the attack by the accused.But the accused prevented them from going into their house.Immediately, A1 hit the deceased with MO1 Bamboo stick on the head of the deceased, who immediately fell down.When PW1 tried to lift his father, A2 beat him with MO2 stick and also beat on the leg of the deceased; PW1's mother and wife had fled away from the scene of occurrence.Thereafter the accused ran away from the scene.Immediately PW1 went to the Thuvakkudi Police Station along with the deceased, and gave Ex.P1 report; The Police gave a memo around 9 pm on the same date; They remained in the Police Station till 5 am and thereafter, they went to the hospital.The injured was not conscious.On examination, PW9 did not find any external injury.He prepared Ex.P1 is the FIR.Immediately thereafter PW12 went to the place of occurrence at 9.30 pm and prepared observation Mahazar Ex.P2 and sketch Ex.JUDGMENT A.K. Rajan, J.1. Appeal against the conviction.The first accused has been charged for the offence under Section 302 IPC and the second accused has been charged for the offence under Section 302 read with 34 and 323 IPC.The trial Court after trial acquitted A1 of the offence under Section 302 and A2 for the offence under Section 302 r/w 34 IPC but convicted A1 for the offence under Section 304 Part II and imposed a sentence of five years R.I and A2 for the offence under Section 323 IPC and imposed a sentence of fine of Rs.500/-P7 the Accident Register.Thereafter the case was altered into one for the offence under Section 302 IPC.He searched for the accused, but he could not find them.When the death was known on 5.6.1994, PW12 altered the FIR into one for the offence under Section 302 and sent Ex.P11 express report.After the receipt of Ex.P-11 Express report, PW13 Inspector attached to BHEL Police Station took up the investigation.He went to the hospital and conducted inquest and prepared inquest report, examined Pws1 to 4 and other witnesses.He sent the dead body through constable for autopsy.PW10, Doctor who conducted autopsy stated that he did not find any external injury but on opening the skull, he found injury on the head to an extent of 12 c.m., and there was a blood clot found between the skull and membrance.He also found fracture on the ribs.There was no other injury.PW10, Doctor opined that the deceased would appear to have died of head injury was necessarily fatal.When the accused was questioned under Section 313, Cr.P.C, he denied the accusation.The trial Court acquitted the first accused under Section 302 IPC and the second accused under Section 302 r/w 34 IPC but convicted A1 for the offence under Section 304 part II and sentenced him to undergo Rigorous imprisonment for 5 years and convicted A2 for the offence under Section 323 IPC and imposed a fine of Rs.500 against which the present appeal has been filed.9. Learned Counsel for the appellants submitted that the offence committed by the accused would fall under Section 324, because there was no intention of committing murder and also without knowledge that such injury would cause death of the deceased.Considering the fact that there was no serious motive for the offence and the only motive is that the deceased performed marriage between A2 and the girl whom he loved.Further the counsel for the appellants submitted that, had the injured been taken to the hospital immediately after the occurrence, he could have been saved from death.But in this case, the injured was kept in the police station till 5 am next day; Therefore there was a delay of 14 hours before the injured was taken to the hospital.But for the delay, the injured would not have died.This argument of the learned counsel for the appellants, though appealing, cannot be accepted in view of the fact that in the Post Mortem Certificate, it is found that the injury on the head was to an extent of 12 cm and the skull was found fractured.From the evidence on record, it can be held that he did not have the intention to murder the deceased but since they were armed with dangerous weapons, namely bamboo stick and the fact that by using the sticks the deceased was hit on the head would go to show that there was an intention to cause such injury.When the accused caused the injury, the knowledge that it was likely to cause the death can be imputed against him.Therefore, the learned Sessions Judge has rightly come to the conclusion that the first accused committed the offence under Section 304 part II.This conclusion of the Sessions Judge cannot be said to be illegal and hence the conviction under Section 304 part II against the first accused is confirmed.The conviction of A2 under Section 323 IPC is confirmed.Learned Counsel for the appellants submitted that the first accused was aged about 25 years and he was just married at that time.With the above modification of sentence, the appeal is dismissed.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"The facts are briefly these.P. W. 6, the elder brother of Reddanna, got suspicious about the disappearance of Reddanna and he went and gave a complaint to the police on 14-4-1949 about his disappearance and his suspicions that he might have been murdered.The police began vigorous investigation.Owing to the great stink in Yedurlagunta valley people came to know that some corpse might have been buried there and P. W. 15 the Circle Inspector of Police went on 17th with P. W. 10, the Sub-Magistrate, and big men and dug up the spot and recovered the skin of the palm and sole of the foot of a decomposed corpse, and not the other portions.JUDGMENT Panchapakesa Ayyar, J.These are two appeals by Venkata Reddi and Vebulu, accused 3 and 4 in S. C. No. 42 of 1949 on the file of the Sessions Judge, Cuddappah.They have been convicted under Sections 302 and 34, Penal-Code, and sentenced to transportation for life, and also under Section 201, Penal Code, and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for two years to run concurrently with the sentences under Section 302, Penal Code.One Reddanna was living in Poanellavandlapalli in Rayachoti taluk in Guddappah district.Though he was married he was not on good terms with his wife for sometime before this murder and he was carrying on with a woman called Chinna Ammani of Ragatiguntapalli, an adjoining village.Accused 2 was also carrying on with the same Chinna Ammani Reddanna wanted to have this Chinna Ammani exclusively for himself, by marrying her, and accused 1 and 2 went and told him on 8-4-1949, that they would get him married to Ammani that midnight.So, taking some jewels of his and borrowing some jewels as a loan from a barber P. W. 1, Reddanna set out with accused 1 and accused 2 on the night of 8-4-1949 with intent to get the marriage performed that midnight.Accused 1 and 2 who are closely related, took the help of accused 3 and 4, two persons alleged to be hired assassins, and all the four are said to have murdered Reddana that night while sleeping and waiting for the girl Amman who was said to be on her way, by accused 2 pressing his throat with terrific force and the remaining accused holding his arms and legs, near Marrimani Bhavi in a jungle and buried his corpse there.Thereafter, fearing that the corpse might give out a stink which would be noticed by people in the neighbourhood frequenting that place, they are said to have removed the corpse to Yedurlakunta valley in the jungle and buried it in a pit there.There also they seemed to have feared later on that the body would be discovered by its stink and so removed it and put it in a gunny bag in order to transport it to a more unfrequented place.But small portions of the decomposed corpse, like the skin of the palm of the left band and the sole of the right foot, got left behind in the Yedulakunta valley.The rest of the corpse was put in a gunny bag and taken to Devarthi Bhavi, a disused well, a mile away, and shoved into it.The scar of a cut wound on the skin of the thumb corresponded to such a wound on the thumb of Reddenna.Accused 4 was arrested on suspicion on the night of 21-4-1949 and he offered to show the main corpse of Reddanna.He took the Circle Inspector of Police and the Sub-Magistrate and the big men to Devarathi Bhavi and pointed out the gunny bag containing the remaining portion of Reddanna's corpse.According to the medical evidence of P. W. 9, that corpse could be identified by the heir, teeth etc., by persons who knew the man and the witnesses who were related to Reddanna or knew him well identified the corpse, by the curly hair, coated teeth, jutting forehead bone and other signs and features and also a key of Beddanna (M. O. 1) found with the remains.In the present case, some persons had been suspected in the first instance of this murder and 8 persons were actually charge-sheeted of whom four were committed to the sessions and two finally acquitted.Accused 4 when taken be fore the District Magistrate for recording his statement in order to be tendered a pardon and taken on as an approver refused to make a statement and said that he knew nothing about the murder.It is obvious that the confessions of accused 3 and 4, which are the main pieces of evidence against them regarding the conviction under Section 302, Penal Code are of no value in the circumstances.Nor were these retracted confessions corroborated in any material particulars regarding the murder itself.He was the first to give information about the corpse of Reddanna thrown into the Davarathi Bhavi.","['Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned GovernmentAdvocate (Criminal side) appearing for the first respondent and the learnedcounsel appearing for the second respondent.The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that even if theentire complaint given by the defacto complainant, her 161 statement and thecharge sheet is read, there is no allegation against Niranjani (A-6) that shehad committed any of the offences enumerated in the charge sheet.Per contra, the learned counsel for the defacto complainantsubmitted that the trial had begun in this case on 04.04.2017 and the defactocomplainant has been examined as P.W.1 and, therefore, this Court should notinterfere.Under normal circumstances, when once the trial begins, this Courtwill be loath to interfere to stifle the prosecution.However, in this case,the allegation of the defacto complainant is that she got married toMohaideen Quadir Ali (A-1) on 15.09.2007 and that her husband was working as Liaison Officer in Annamalai University, where Niranjani (A-6) was alsoemployed.She has further alleged that her husband had developed illicitintimacy with the said Niranjani (A-6), pursuant to which, she was ill-treating her.The learned counsel for the defacto complainant took this Courtthrough 161 statement of the defacto complainant.On a perusal of the same,it is seen that except saying that her husband has been talking to Niranjaniover phone very frequently and that he was having illicit intimacy with her,there is absolutely no shred of evidence against Niranjani for havingperpetrated any act directly against the defacto complainant.The allegedaffair of A-1 with Niranjani (A-6) may be a ground for causing mental crueltyto the defacto complainant, for which, A-1 alone can be held responsible andnot Niranjani (A-6).Niranjani (A-6) does not fall within the meaning of theword ""relatives"" under Section 498(A) of the Indian Penal Code.As regardsthe contention against 495 of the Indian Penal Code, it is not the case ofthe defacto complainant that A-1 had married her.It is her only case that hehas been talking to her continuously over mobile phone and that she suspectsher husband's fidelity.Under such circumstances, this Court is of the view that theprosecution against Niranjani (A-6) is indeed an abuse of process of law andhas been predicated on surmises and suspicion of the defacto complainant.In the result, this Criminal Original Petition is allowed and theproceedings against Niranjani (A-6) in C.C.No.121 of 2016 on the file of theJudicial Magistrate Additional Mahila Court, Trichy, is quashed.Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.1.The Judicial Magistrate Additional Mahila Court, Trichy.2.The Inspector of Police, All Women Police Station, Thiruverumbur, Trichy District.3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai..","['Section 498 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 294(b) in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"The facts of the case in brief are that one Niyamat Ullaha Khan was running his business of Tobacco and Khaini under the trademark in the name and style of ""Nawab Dulha Khan Khaini"" and when he died in 1992 his sons started the said business adding some additional words in the said trademark.The respondent-plaintiffs started their business of Tobacco with the trademark in the name and style of ""Ped Chhap Nawab Dulha Khan Khaini"" w.e.f. 1993, whereas the appellant-defendant started his business with the trademark in the name and style of ""Chand Khajoor Chhap Anwar Dulha Khan"" with emblem of Rais Dulha Khan, Bareilly depicting Central Excise Registration Certificate No. 8/R-1 BLY/93 on the wrappers.JUDGMENT V.C. Misra, J.Heard Sri S.K. Verma, Senior Advocate assisted by Sri Siddarth Verma & Sri Pulak Ganguli, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant- defendant and Sri M.A.Qadeer & Mr. D.S. Misra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of respondents No. 1 and 2-plaintiffs.The present appeal has been filed by the appellant-defendant challenging the order dated 29.7.2005 passed by the District Judge, Bareilly in Original Suit No. 6 of 2005 allowing interim injunction application of the plaintiffs-respondents No. 1 and 2 moved under Order 39 Rule 1 & 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure restraining the defendant-appellant from manufacturing, marketing and trading the Khaini and Tobacco with the name and style of ""Bargad Fed Chhap Asali Nawab Dulha Khan"".The respondents-plaintiffs filed Original Suit No. 6 of 2005 seeking injunction on the ground that the appellant-defendant changed his trademark and caption and started his business with effect from February, 2005 in the name and style of ""Bargad Ped Chhap Asli Nawab Dulha Khan Khaini"" on the wrappers in which the words 'Bargad' and 'Asli' were written in very small letters and was in very much resemblance with the trademark of respondents-plaintiffs causing deception, misguiding the customers which resulted in damaging and affecting their business.In the plaint it has been stated that the trade mark ""Ped Chhap Nawab Dulha Khan"" of the plaintiffs- respondents was registered at number 611689 (subsequently corrected as 611389) under the Trade and Merchandise Marks Act, 1958 and the Copyright Act, 1957 and the plaintiff No. 1- respondent Taj Mohammad Khan assigned the said trade mark and Copyright ""Ped Chhap Nawab Dulha Khan"" to plaintiff No. 2-respondent Mohd. Imran Khan by means of assignment deed dated 15th December, 2003 and since then Mohd. Imran Khan plaintiff No. 2 has been running his business as a assignee of Taj Mohammad Khan (plaintiff No. 1 -respondent).It has also been stated that the plaintiffs have a large volume of sales of their product under the registered trade mark ""Ped Chhap Nawab Dulha Khan"" which was carved, designed, coloured and written in a distinctive style on the wrappers for many years and their customers as well as the traders have identified and recognized the goods as such being the exclusive merchandise of the plaintiffs and none else.The plaintiffs are the creator and the author of the artistic work, design, style and colours of lettering of the said trade mark and are the legal owners, proprietors and user of the same and they have been continuous user thereof and have thus acquired exclusive right to use its registered trade mark under the Copyright Act in respect with their goods.In the plaint it has also been alleged that the appellant-defendant by using identical and or deceptively similar mark or artistic work as referred to above started his business from February, 2005 which is bound to cause confusion and deception in the mind of unwary class of customers amounting to falsification of plaintiffs' registered trade mark and to cause heavy financial losses to the plaintiffs-respondents to which the appellant-defendant was not entitled to under law.It has also been asserted that purchasers of Khaini and tobacco are mainly illiterate public who are being confused, misled and deceived by purchasing the inferior quality of Khaini and Tobacco manufactured by appellant-defendant knowingly and willingly and without consent of the plaintiffs-respondents and thus the appellant-defendant violated the plaintiffs copyrights in the artistic work, lettering and colouring etc in the registered trade mark and has committed offences punishable under Section 78 and 79 of the Trade And Merchandise Marks Act, 1958 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act No. 43 of 1985') and Section 63 of the Copyright Act, 1957 and under Sections 420, 485, 486, 487 of the Indian Penal Code.The appellant-defendant did not accede to the request of the plaintiffs-respondents and did not refrain from manufacturing, marketing and trading their products of Khaini and Tobacco with falsified mark ""Ped Chhap Nawab Dulha Khan"" which was causing irreparable loss and injury whereas on the other hand it did not affect the appellant-defendant at all in any manner.The plaintiffs-respondents alongwith plaint had filed an application under Order 39 Rule 1 and 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure supported with an affidavit seeking temporary injunction upon which an exparte interim order was granted.The appellant-defendant No. 1 in rebuttal to the said injunction application filed his objections/counter affidavit before the trial court.In para 1 it is stated that the alleged trademark 'Ped Chhap Dulha Khan' was not registered in the Trade Mark Office by the respondent-plaintiffs and the number mentioned as 611389 was only application number and not the registration number.It was also asserted that the appellant-defendant No. 1 had moved an application for registration before the trademark office for registration of his trademark in the name and style of 'Asli Nawab Dulha Khan Ped Chhap'.After hearing learned Counsel for the parties and perusal of the record the trial court passed an order restraining the appellant-defendant from using the trade mark 'Bargad Ped Chhap Asali Nawab Dulha Khan Khaini Tambakoo Choona Sahit' for the purpose of manufacturing marketing and trading the Khaini and Tobacco till the pendency of the suit.Thus, the suit itself was barred by Section 124 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999 (hereinafter referred to as 'the Act, 1999').In the result, the appeal fails and is dismissed accordingly.No order as to costs.",['Section 420 in The Indian Penal

Challenge is made to a judgment of the Sessions Division, Nilgiris at Udhagamandalam, in S.C.No.4 of 2006 whereby the sole accused/appellant stood charged under Sections 342, 376 read with 511, 302 and 201 of IPC.On trial, he was found guilty under Sections 302 and 201 of IPC and awarded life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs.2000/- and default sentence under Sec.302 of IPC.No separate sentence was given under Sec.201 of IPC, while he was acquitted of the other two charges.On 28.7.2004, the Investigating Officer recovered the material objects from the place of occurrence.Then, he conducted inquest on the dead body in the presence of witnesses and panchayatdars and prepared, Ex.P40, the inquest report.(g) P.W.16, the Inspector of Police, attached to the Finger Print Bureau, was called, and he also took the finger prints from the available materials there and has taken them for the purpose of verification.(h) P.W.12, the Assistant Surgeon, attached to the Government Head Quarters Hospital, Udhagamandalam, on receipt of the requisition, conducted autopsy on the dead body of Pappathi and found 23 injuries.She has issued a postmortem certificate, Ex.She gave her final opinion under Ex.P12 that the death was due to shock and profuse haemorrhage.(i) The Finger Print Expert after verification and also the analysis, has given his opinion in Ex.P22, the report, that the finger prints which were taken would be tallying with that of the accused.He came forward to give a confessional statement, which was recorded in the presence of P.W.19 and one Jayaprakash.Thereafter, he took the Investigator and produced M.O.4, screw driver, M.O.5, gas regulator, M.O.6, bloodstained pant, M.O.7, bloodstained shirt, and also M.O.8, knife, which were all recovered under independent mahazars.Then, he was sent for judicial remand.All the material objects were subjected to chemical analysis.P32 to P34 are the serologist's reports and Exs.P48 and P49 are the Chemical Analyst's reports.The Investigator, after completion of the investigation, filed the final report.3.The case was committed to Court of Session and necessary charges were framed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 20 witnesses and also relied upon 49 exhibits and 12 material objects.On completion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused was questioned under Sec.313 of Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses, which he flatly denied as false.No defence witness was examined; but, only one document was marked as Ex.After hearing the arguments on either side, the trial Court took the view that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt in respect of the charge of murder and also screening the evidence and hence found them guilty under Sections 302 and 201 of IPC and awarded the punishment as referred to above while it made an order of acquittal in respect of other two charges.Hence this appeal at the instance of the appellant.P1, the report, on the strength of which a case came to be registered; that the Sub Inspector of Police who was examined as P.W.17, has also claimed so; that P.W.20, the Inspector of Police, has deposed that on hearing the information from the hospital, he proceeded to the hospital, and there he found the dead body in the mortuary and also made a request to the Doctor P.W.11, to collect the hair in the hands of the dead body, and only thereafter, the FIR has come into existence; that as regards Ex.P1, the report, inconsistent versions were given, and thus it would cast a reasonable doubt in the report, Ex.P1, coming into existence.5.Added further the learned Counsel that the prosecution has proceeded only on surmises; that it rested its case on the circumstantial evidence since it had no direct evidence to offer; that according to the prosecution, it was P.W.9 who saw the accused coming out of the house immediately; that P.W.9 would claim that he was also present when P.W.1 also came there; that if to be so, P.W.9 immediately would have informed to P.W.1 that the accused was present at the time of occurrence, but not done; that the same was informed only after eight days; that till the time, he was keeping mum; that it would be indicative of the fact that P.W.9 could not have seen the accused in the place of occurrence at all; that the prosecution was unable to explain under what necessity the accused was to attack the deceased with the two weapons namely screw driver and knife; that the prosecution would come forward to state that the deceased also died out of strangulation; that in the instant case, the hair which was collected immediately from the dead body, according to the Investigator, was sent to the Court after a period of one month, and a request was given after a period of five months; that all would go to show that the investigation was not in the proper direction; and that it is pertinent to point out that even after the occurrence, the accused was actually kept under the service of P.W.1 for long months i.e., for a period of few months.6.Added further the learned Counsel that in Ex.P1, the report, it was mentioned that death was caused by an unknown person; that even P.W.1 had not even the suspicion against him; that the prosecution much relied on the arrest, confession and recovery of M.Os.4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; that the only witness examined by the prosecution was P.W.19; that P.W.19 was the Ward Councilor; that he has given evidence in some other case registered by the very same Police Station, and thus it would be quite clear that he was a stock witness; that the evidence which was projected through him should have been rejected by the Court; that under the circumstances, the prosecution had no evidence; that it is a fit case where the prosecution could not bring home the guilt of the accused; that only on surmises and presumptions, the prosecution has tried to project its case, but could not do so; that apart from that, the lower Court has not appreciated the contentions put forth on the defence side, and hence, he is entitled for acquittal in the hands of this Court.7.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on all the above contentions and considered the same.Following the inquest made by P.W.20, the Investigator, the dead body was subjected to postmortem by P.W.12, the Doctor, and she has issued the postmortem certificate, Ex.The Doctor has opined under Ex.P12 that the deceased died out of shock and profuse haemorrhage.Thus, the prosecution was able to show that she died out of homicidal violence.This fact was never disputed by the appellant, and hence it has got to be recorded so.9.True it is, the prosecution had no direct evidence to offer, but it has relied on the circumstantial evidence.The Court is not unmindful of the caution made by the settled principles of law and also by the decisions of the Apex Court that the Court must thoroughly be satisfied that the prosecution has placed necessary facts and circumstances and also proved the same pointing to the guilt of the accused without leaving any doubt in the mind of the Court and also pointing to the hypothesis except the accused no one could have committed the offence.In the instant case, even if this test is applied, this Court is satisfied that the prosecution has brought home the guilt of the accused.The Court has noticed all the following circumstances which are pointing to the guilt of the accused.On the date of occurrence, P.W.8 came to the shop for getting the CD player on rental basis.Immediately, P.W.1 sent the servant namely the accused, to his house to take the CD player.It is also an admitted fact that the accused went over to the house of the deceased namely the wife of P.W.1, during the relevant time.Even according to the prosecution, the accused was actually in the house of the deceased at or about the time of occurrence.That apart, from the evidence of all the witnesses, it would be quite clear that the accused was available in the house of the deceased at that time.According to P.W.1, when he went to the house, he found the accused standing on the door step of his house, and thus, the accused was actually present at the time and P.Ws.5 and 9 have seen the deceased lady at about 11.30 A.M. When P.W.1 went to the house at about 1.00 P.M., he found the dead body.Therefore, the occurrence should have taken place in the short interval, and at that time, the person who visited the house was the accused.P.W.9 has also deposed to the effect that the accused was coming out of the house.When P.W.1 went to the house, the accused was standing at the door step and holding his child; but, he did not tender any explanation how the occurrence has happened.Out of this, two are weapons of crime.One is the screw driver and the other is the knife.According to P.W.12, the Doctor, the injuries found on the dead body of the deceased, are all on the front side, and they could have been caused by these two weapons.When this recovery has been made from the accused, pursuant to the confessional statement, he has also produced a pant and shirt marked as M.Os.6 and 7 respectively.All these material objects were subjected to chemical analysis by the Forensic Sciences Department on a requisition made by the Investigator through the concerned Court, along with the clothes of the deceased lady and of the accused.It is pertinent to point out that all these material objects which were clothes worn by the lady and also the clothes worn by the accused, apart from the weapons of crime contained the same blood group, and thus, the prosecution was able to prove the nexus between the crime and the accused not only by the recovery of the weapons of crime pursuant to the confessional statement made by the accused, but also by the scientific evidence which was pointing to the guilt of the accused.Further, it can be well stated that except the accused, no one was found in the place of occurrence at or about the time, and the presence of the accused is an admitted fact.12.Now, the contentions put forth by the learned Counsel for the appellant that the report, Ex.P1, and the FIR have not come into existence as put forth by the prosecution cannot be accepted for the simple reason that on hearing the information about the same, an intimation was given to the Inspector of Police who rushed over to the hospital.But, at the same time, P.W.1 on ascertaining the fact that his wife is actually dead, proceeded to the Police Station and gave the complaint, Ex.P1, pursuant to which the case came to be registered by P.W.17 under Sec.302 of IPC.Only thereafter, at the time of investigation, it was revealed that it was the accused who was involved in the case.That apart, mere delay in sending the hair, which was collected from the hands of the deceased, to the Court or the requisition for examining the same by itself cannot be a reason to doubt the prosecution case.It is pertinent to point out that when the hair was actually put to scientific analysis, it was found to be inconclusive, and hence the prosecution did not make out a point out of the same.15.Above all, at the time of the investigation, the finger print expert was called, and finger prints were actually taken from the materials available.They were also compared with the finger prints of the accused and were found to be tallying.Thus, the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt.But at the same time, it was within his knowledge, and he has suppressed the entire information.1.The Sessions Judge Nilgiris at Udhagamandalam2.The Inspector of Police B1, Police Station Udhagamandalam3.The Public Prosecutor High Court, Madras","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Briefly stated the prosecution case is that the appellant was giving tuition to the prosecutrix Geeta Kumari and her sister at their residence.It is stated that on 30th April, 1989 at about 7 PM the appellant came to their house and in the presence of the family members told Geeta Kumari P.W.1 that he won't be giving tuition on that day and went away.Immediately, thereafter, it is stated that PW-1 left the house telling the members of the family that she was going to grand-father's house to watch television.It is further stated that on the way she met by the appellant and he on the pretext of taking her to a movie took her in his motor cycle towards Muzaffarpur.From Muzaffarpur, he took her in a train to Jasidih from where he took her to Devghar.The prosecution further states that there he forced PW-1 to marry him and made her sign certain papers.JUDGMENT Santosh Hegde, J.The appellant herein was convicted by the Sessions Judge, Sitamarhi in Sessions Trial No. 182/89 for offences punishable under Section 366A and 376 of the IPC and was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for five years on each of those counts but the sentences were directed to run concurrently.On appeal, the High court of Patna has confirmed the said sentence.On 10.5.89, PW-1 was recovered from the house of the appellant by the police.After investigation, a case was registered against the appellant and he was charged as stated above and having been found guilty by the two courts below the appellant has filed this appeal.The factum of the recovery of PW-1 from the house of the appellant is not in dispute.While it is the case of prosecution that it is the appellant who either by inducement or threat took away PW-1 from her house, the defence case is that PW-1 had eloped with somebody and her love affair having failed with the person with whom she eloped and she being scared to get back to the house had come to the house of the appellant who the had informed PW-6, the father of the girl about PW-1 coming to his house.The defence further states that after being annoyed and having found none else to blame her father has foisted a false case against the appellant.As noticed above, one of the charges of which the appellant has been found guilty is under Section 366A which refers to procreations of a minor girl.To establish this charge, the prosecution has to prove that PW-1 was a minor on the date when she was taken away from her house.In regard to this fact, the prosecution relies on the evidence of PW-1 the girl herself, PW-6, her father and PW-10 the Doctor who examined her.So far as PW-1's evidence is concerned it is prima facie not acceptable when she says that she was only 14 years on the date when she was taken way from her father's house.This evidence runs counter to all other material on record to which we shall refer presently.4. PW-6 the father of the girl in his evidence has stated that he was married in the year 1952 and he had two daughters.If that be the year of birth of PW-1 then the incidence in question being in the year 1989, PW1 ought to be 19 years on that day.This witness further says that PW1 had appeared for her Board examination in the year 1988 and had failed.This also gives an indication that it is likely that the age of PW-1 on the date of incidence was around 19 years.5. PW-10 the doctor in his evidence has stated that PW1's X-ray photograph showed partial epiphyte seal fusion of iliac crest.In her opinion, PW1 appeared to be 17 years old which opinion of the Dr. is from the very language used by her shows it to be approximate.The physique of PW-1 as explained by PW-10 also indicates the probability of PW-1 being above the age of 18 years.In this background if we examine the evidence of PWs.6 and 10 it is clear that evidence of PW-1 is wholly unreliable when she states that she was only about 14 years old.Even though PW-10 Dr. stated that PW-1 appeared to be 17 years old cannot be held that this evidence is conclusive enough to come to the conclusion that PW-1 was really below 18 years on the date of incidence, in view of positive statements made by PW-6 the father.We have already referred to the evidence of the father, according to whose evidence PW-1 was 19 years of age when she left the house of the father.In such situation, we think it not safe to come the conclusion that PW-1 was less than 18 years of age on the date when she left the house of her father.While discussing this part of the prosecution case, the Trial court in its judgment has not considered the evidence of PW-6 the father at all.It merely relied upon evidence of PW-10 accepting the same on its face value, without discussing the other material that was available on record.Even the High Court in this regard in its judgment merely stated ""Dr. who examined the prosecutrix found her age to be 17 years....."" the High Court has not independently given any finding either accepting this evidence or not.In this background for the reasons already stated hereinabove we think that the prosecution has failed to establish that PW-1 was less than 18 years of age as on the date of incidence.If that be so, charge under 366A of which the appellant was found guilty by both the courts below shall fail.The leaned counsel for the State, however, contended that if the charge under Section 366A should fail then, the appellant is liable to be convicted under Section 366 for kidnapping, abducting or inducing a woman to compel her to marry.He has referred to the evidence of PW-1 in this regard and contends that even though there is no specific charge under Section 366 still on the material available on record a conviction under Section 366 could be based and no prejudice would be caused to the appellant.But then, we will have to notice that even to establish the charge under Section 366 IPC, there should be acceptable evidence to show that either PW-1 was compelled to marry the appellant against her will and/or was forced to or induced to intercourse against her will.This would therefore, require the prosecution to prove that there was some such undue force on the PW-1 either to marry the appellant or to have intercourse with him.Therefore, both for the purpose of 366 and for the purpose of Section 376 IPC, there should be material to establish that either the alleged marriage or the intercourse has taken place without the consent of PW-1 if she is above the age of 18 years or 16 years as the case may be.In this regard, if we examine the evidence of PW-1, it is clear that on the date of incidence when the appellant came to her house and told her that he will not be taking tuition class as on that day, she decided to go to her grand father's house to watch TV.She says on the way she was met by the appellant who took her on his motorcycle promising her of taking her to a movie at Sitamarhi.She found on the way that he was not going to Sitamarhi but was going to Muzaffarpur Railway Station.According to her, she protested but she was threatened.She alleges that the appellant forced her to sign some papers to marry him.In our opinion, it is extremely difficult to accept her evidence when she states that she was taken by the appellant without her consent.if we see sequence of events starting from 30th April 1989 to 10 of May 1989 it is clear that she has accompanied the appellant willingly.The evidence of PW-1 indicates that there was a prior planning by her with the appellant together to elope, and it is because of that, the appellant came to PW's house on 30.04.1989 and told her that he will not be taking tuition on that day and immediately thereafter PW-1 left her house on the pretext of going to her grand father's house to see Television.It is not her case that when she was accosted by the appellant on his motorcycle, she went with him under a threat.On the contrary, the evidence shows that she willingly went with him on his motorcycle to see a movie at Sitamarhi.She says she was threatened only when she protested as against she being taken to Muzaffarpur.On the contrary, we notice she was with him from 30th of April to 10th of May, during which period she had travelled by train, temp and stayed with the appellant without there being any evidence of her having protested or having made any effort to seek help from others or even trying to run away.Apart from that from the record, it is seen that PW-6 in the FIR had stated that ""I got information from my wife in the house that Geeta went away by taking clothes and a gold chain and she took Rs. 500/- in cash in total amounting to Rs. 8500/-.This evidence though subsequently resiled by PW-6 indicates that PW-1 had planned her departure from the house in advance and had willingly gone away with the appellant which also indicates that there was no threat or inducement either in regard to her leaving the house or in regard to accompanying the appellant.In such situation in the absence of any other material to show to the contrary it will be difficult to accept the prosecution case that either there was a forcible marriage or rape as contended by the prosecution to find the appellant guilty under Section 366 or 376 IPC.Since the courts below proceeded on the basis that PW-1 was a girl below the age of 18 on the date she left the house they have not properly appreciated the evidence in regard to her consent which is a mandatory requirement before finding a person guilty under Section 366 or 376 IPC.There is no doubt that the appellant who was a tuition teacher of PW-1 has misused the trust reposed in him by the PW-1's family but then since the prosecution has failed to establish the fact that PW-1 was below the age of 18 and the evidence on record indicates that PW-1 had willingly gone away with the appellant and in the absence of any threat, coercion or inducement, having been established by the prosecution we think it not possible to rely on the prosecution case to come to the conclusion that the appellant is guilty of the charges framed against him under Section 366A and 376 IPC or even 366 as contended by the learned counsel for the State.For the reasons stated above, this appeal succeeds.","['Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366A in

+"Through Mr. Sanjay Lao, APP for the State.HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJIV KHANNA HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE S.P.GARG SANJIV KHANNA, J:He has been sentenced to Life Imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs.10, 000/-.In default of payment of fine, he will undergo Rigorous Imprisonment for three months.It is not disputed that Sansarwati was the wife of the appellant and they have five children.They were married for thirteen years.In the present case, there is no eye witness and the case of the prosecution is based upon circumstantial evidence of dying declaration, seizures made from the spot of the occurrence, i.e., house of the appellant and Sansarwati at D-17/42, Shahabad Dairy, Delhi, motive and conduct of the appellant.5. PW-2 has stated that Sansarwati, his sister used to complain that the appellant gave her beatings and did not pay for household expenses.His sister's brother-in-law, Sunil and his wife Sunita used to reside in the same locality, i.e., after two-three houses and they used to give beatings to her occasionally.On 29th September, 2004 at about 2.30 p.m., PW-2 was taking lunch at his residence when he was informed by one lady, who was a relative and resided in the same neighbourhood, that his sister was burnt.He rushed to the house of his sister and found her on the ground floor of the house in a burnt condition.Another person Prem Sagar (sic.Prem Kumar) PW-5 had made a telephone call to the police and PCR officials arrived at the spot/residence.Sansarwati was put in the gypsy, and thereafter in the ambulance at G.T. Karnal Road bye pass, and was taken to JPN Hospital.The deceased was conscious, when PW-2 had reached the residence and remained conscious till she was taken and admitted in JPN Hospital.Sansarwati told him that her husband had poured kerosene oil on her and set her on fire with a match stick.He reached the residence of his sister within two-three minutes and it must be between 2.30 to 3 PM.G.T. Karnal Road was at a distance of five kilometres.His statement was recorded on 28th September, 2004 before the death of his sister.His sister expired on 1st October, 2004 at 5.30AM.PW-2 is the brother of the deceased.He was residing very near to the house/residence of the deceased.PW-2, when cross-examined had stated that his house was 2-3 houses away from the residence of his sister, i.e., deceased.His presence at the spot immediately after the occurrence is also proved from the testimonies of the PCR police officers PW6 SI Pradeep Rana and PW20 Head Constable Omender Kumar.The said bottle is clearly visible in the photographs, which were taken by PW-7, Manish, resident of B-688, Shahabad Dairy, Delhi, who was carrying on business in the name of Sonu Photo Studio.He had taken photographs at 8 p.m. The bottle of kerosene oil was seized from the first floor.He had seen the smoke at a distance of about twenty meters.We may note here that the appellant and PW-2 were working in a gas agency and were responsible for supplying gas to customers.She had stated that first at about 2 to 2.30 p.m. she had heard cries ""aag lag gayi aag lag gayi"" coming from the house of Murari Lal and Sansarwati had received burnt injuries.All five children were crying.Somebody called the police.After some time, accused Murari Lal along with his brother Hari Prasad came there.A. No. 541/2012 Page 12 of 19 date of occurrence at 10 A.M. and she had also come to see him off as he had left for his village.He accepted that the appellant had purchased a plot in the name of his daughter and had rented a shop to a doctor.The prosecution, in support of their case, had examined twenty witnesses.On the question of dying declaration, statement of PW-2, Soudan Singh, brother of the deceased, PW-13, Dr. Ritu Saxena, who CRL.A. No. 541/2012 Page 1 of 19 had recorded the Medico Legal Report (MLC), and SI Praveen Kumar, PW-18 are relevant.We may notice that the trial court has disregarded the dying declaration recorded by PW-18, SI Praveen Kumar, and Exhibit PW-18/A. This aspect has been examined in the paragraphs below.A. No. 541/2012 Page 1 of 19The police officials had also recorded her statement in JPN Hospital.On being cross-examined by the Additional Public Prosecutor, he corrected himself and stated that the date of occurrence was 27 th September, 2004 and not 29th September, 2004, which was stated by him by mistake.When cross-examined by the counsel for the appellant, PW-2 had stated that his bhabi had come and informed him that his sister was CRL.A. No. 541/2012 Page 2 of 19 burnt.He had met his sister on 30th September, 2004 and at that time his sister was unconscious.His sister had given her statement to the police and then told him about the incident.Statement was given to the police on the spot in the presence of the other persons, but his sister had not put any thumb or foot impression on the statement.His sister was married before him and when she was married PW-2 was residing in Bullandshair.A. No. 541/2012 Page 2 of 19He was with Sansarwati when she was admitted in the hospital.PW-13, Dr. Ritu Saxena, CMO, Casualty, LNJP Hospital had admitted and recorded the MLC.The MLC Exhibit PW-13/A records that Soudan Singh, brother of the deceased Sansarwati, had brought her to the hospital in a CATS ambulance.The MLC further records that the patient was conscious and her pulse was 80 per minute, though she had burns all over the body to the extent of 98%.The MLC Ex. PW13/A also records that CRL.A. No. 541/2012 Page 3 of 19 the patient had given alleged history of burns due to pouring of kerosene oil by her husband at her house, in Shahbad Dairy at 2.50PM.It was recorded that this was stated by the patient herself, i.e., Sansarwati, the deceased.A. No. 541/2012 Page 3 of 19There was no reason and cause for the deceased to falsely and wrongly state that the appellant was guilty and responsible for the burns and that he had poured kerosene oil on her and set her on fire, a grave and serious charge against her husband, who was married to her for thirteen years.There was no reason for PW-13 to wrongly record the said statement immediately on the admission of the deceased in the hospital in the MLC Exhibit PW-13/A. It is also clear from the MLC that the deceased despite severe burns the deceased was conscious and oriented.As noted before, her pulse was 80 per minute.There is evidence and material to suggest and show that the relationship between the appellant and the brothers of the deceased were not cordial but this does not mean that PW2 would have falsely implicated the appellant and would have wrongly attributed her injuries/death to the appellant.The statement made by the deceased to the PW2, as already recorded and noted above, was again reiterated to PW13, a doctor.It was also recorded in the MLC.A. No. 541/2012 Page 4 of 199. PW-13, Dr. Ritu Saxena in her cross-examination had stated that when she examined the patient, i.e., the deceased, she was conscious.The deceased was admitted there and till he left, she was speaking.PW-2 was extensively cross-examined by the accused on 11th April, 2005 but he withstood the said cross-examination and remained steadfast on his statement implicating the appellant.He had also stated that he had not seen the appellant accused at the spot as he was busy looking after the deceased sister.In the cross-examination, on the said date, he wanted to substantially change his statement and had stated that his deceased sister was crying ""jala diya jala diya"" but had not named any person, who had burnt her.He stated that the deceased had not made any statement to the police in his presence.However, when re-examined by the Additional Public Prosecutor, he accepted that the statement made on 11th April, 2005 was his correct statement and the deceased sister had told him that her husband had poured kerosene oil on her and set her on fire.He reiterated that the police officers also reached the hospital and had recorded the statement of his sister.His statement dated 11th April, 2005 was correct.11. PW-18, SI Praveen Kumar, who was also the Investigating Officer, had recorded the statement of the deceased Sansarwati, which is Exhibit PW-18/A. The same forms a part of the rukka resulting in registration of the FIR.Initially, Section 307 IPC was invoked, which CRL.A. No. 541/2012 Page 5 of 19 was converted on the death of Sansarwati into Section 302 IPC.The said endorsement was proved by the prosecution through PW-17, Dr. Arun Goel.He had stated that Dr. Ajay Sagar had left the hospital and his present whereabouts were not known.He identified the handwriting and signatures of Dr. Ajay Sagar and had stated that the endorsement at point B on Exhibit PW-13/A was in his handwriting and duly signed by him.PW-17 was, however, not present in the ward at 6.10 p.m. In his cross-examination, he had stated that the patient had not cried or resisted when she had received 98% burn injuries.It would have been certainly better and wiser if PW-18 had ensured that the dying declaration was recorded by a doctor or Magistrate.This would have assured greater credibility and taken care of any question or contention.It is an additional factor and ground to hold that the two dying declarations should be accepted as true and trustworthy.The dying declarations are identical and implicate the appellant as the person, who had poured kerosene oil and then ignited the fire burning Sansarwati, the deceased, his wife.This aspect has been elucidated from paragraph 17 onwards.A. No. 541/2012 Page 5 of 19It was a plastic bottle, which still had some oil in it.Burnt cloth and match stick was also seized vide memo Exhibit PW-14/A. This is proved from the testimony of PW-14, ASI, Shiv Narain and PW-18, SI Praveen Kumar.The presence of kerosene in the bottle is established by PW-15, Ms. Veena Amba Pd., Junior Scientific Officer, CFSL Laboratory, Hyderabad.The plastic bottle, as per the CFSL report, (Exhibit PW-15/A) had blue coloured liquid which was kerosene.However, kerosene could not be detected in the match box or the burnt clothes.Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that, as per Exhibit PW-19/C, the first report recorded by Police Control Room was that ""a wife had caught fire because of gas cylinder"".The said information was possibly given by PW-5, Prem Kumar.PW-5 had stated that he saw smoke from the house in question between 2-3 p.m. Public persons were saying that the house of the appellant had caught fire.He came to his house and informed the PCR from his mobile.Naturally and normally, it can be expected that they would be using gas cylinder at home, which is a convenient method of cooking, rather than using kerosene oil stove for the purpose of cooking.PW-14 and PW-18 were not cross- examined and it was not put to them that any kerosene gas stove was available or found in the house.No question was put to them regarding whether the kitchen was damaged or was there anything which indicated that the deceased had got burnt accidently while cooking in the kitchen.A. No. 541/2012 Page 7 of 19Referring to the statement of PW-5, it was submitted that five children of the accused appellant were present in the house but they were not questioned.PW-5 in his cross-examination had stated that children of the accused later came down from the house and were questioned by the firemen.Police did not interrogate the children of the accused appellant.There is no evidence or material to show that firemen had come to the house.PW-2 in his cross-examination had stated that the accused and his sister had five children.The eldest daughter was physically challenged and aged about fourteen years.The second eldest was a boy aged about eight years.The three children used to go to school and two children used to remain in the house.Obviously the said two children were small.The eldest daughter Pavitra had appeared as DW-1 and in her statement, recorded on 29th May, 2006, she had stated that her mother was perhaps pouring CRL.A. No. 541/2012 Page 8 of 19 kerosene in the stove or trying to ignite the stove when she caught fire and started crying.She was sitting in her room and her mother completely got burnt when the police came to their house.Her father Murari Lal was not in the house and telephone call was made by one Lalti Devi informing the police.In the cross-examination, DW-1 had stated that she does not know how to read and write and was an illiterate.She denied the suggestion that her father had poured kerosene oil on her mother and set her on fire and killed her.DW-1 is the daughter of the deceased and the appellant.PW-2 had stated that the children were residing with the grandmother in the village.Her belated statement appearing as defence witness on 29th May, 2006 has to be carefully scrutinized before it is accepted.She was about 13/14 years old at the time of her statement.We have already commented upon the existence and the use of kerosene stove in the house for cooking, by the deceased.Surprisingly, PW-2 was never cross- examined on the said lines and on the basis of statement made by DW-A. No. 541/2012 Page 8 of 19Having lost their mother, DW-1's desire and wish to help and protect their father, the appellant herein, is understandable.Both of them were not cross-examined and questioned as to why and for what reason statements of DW-1 or other children, of the appellant and the deceased, were not recorded.DW-1, Pavitra had stated that she was illiterate and did not know how to read and write because she had not been to any school.This statement was made to justify her presence at home.However, she had signed her statement in Hindi and also written the date.She had also given a wrong time of occurrence.She had stated that the occurrence had taken place at 12 noon/1 P.M. whereas the occurrence had actually taken place around 2.30 to 2.45 P.M. PW- 2 had clearly stated that the three elder children use to go to school.A. No. 541/2012 Page 9 of 19It may be also interesting to note that the appellant in his statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. recorded on 8th December, 2005 had stated that he was not present at the spot and his daughter had told him that this was a mishap or may be a suicide.The daughter, DW-1 did not state or claim that it was a case of suicide.Relying upon the statements of DW-2 Lalti Devi, DW-3, Mohd. Yakub, DW-4, Hari Prasad and DW-5, Girish Kumar it was submitted that the appellant was not responsible for the said occurrence and had not thrown kerosene oil or ignited the fire.In fact, he was not present in the house at the time of the occurrence.PW-2 had also not seen the appellant.It is correct that PW-2 had not seen the appellant but the appellant's presence is indicated and mentioned in the dying declarations of the deceased Sansarwati.In the cross- examination, she admitted that she had not told the said story or her version to any authority, either police or the court.She was aware that the appellant had been apprehended on the same day on the charge of murdering his wife and she had come to know about the same on the very day.She was not able to give any reason as to why she did not tell to any person and authority, prior to her making the statement in the court that the appellant was not at home and had not been named by the deceased.A. No. 541/2012 Page 10 of 19DW-3, Mohd, Yakub is a beldar, who claimed that he was working with the appellant for the same gas agency.He had stated that (DW-2) Lalti Devi had called him on his mobile and informed the appellant about the said incident, when the appellant was sitting at a tea shop across the road.When cross-examined, DW-3 stated that he had informed the police about his version when police had come to the spot after three days but he could not tell the name or rank of the policeman.Thereafter, he never told the story to any court or police or wrote to any senior officer.More importantly, DW-3 could not explain how (DW-2) Lalti Devi could imagine or know that the appellant and he were together at the date and time of the occurrence.DW-4, Hari Prasad is the brother of the deceased Sansarwati.He had stated that at 2/2-30 P.M. a phone call was received by DW-4 from a lady that there was a fire in the house of the appellant and his wife had received burn injuries.After hearing the message, Murari Lal and he went to the house.He had stated that relationship between the appellant and his wife was cordial and his sister had never complained about her husband or his behaviour.He had spoken to his sister.She never complained against the appellant.His father had come to Delhi after the occurrence to meet the deceased.Statement of DW-4 has to be examined with caution and care before being disregarded as he is the brother of the deceased and has supported the appellant.In his cross-examination, he admitted that he came to know about the arrest of the appellant in the murder case of his sister, after about 2 to 3 days of the incident, but he did not tell the story to the police or any other authority even after the appellant-accused was arrested.He volunteered that he did not know that this could be done.He did not forbid his father or PW-2, Soudan Singh from deposing against the CRL.A. No. 541/2012 Page 11 of 19 appellant.In the cross-examination he tried to resile from his earlier statement recorded on 11th April, 2005 but when he was re-examined by the Public Prosecutor, he accepted that his earlier statement recorded on 11th April, 2005 was correct.We do not think the statement made by DW-4 is credible and truthful.DW4 has not stated what he and Murari Lal did after coming to the spot of occurrence, on the said day.Murari Lal could not be seen at the spot by PW2 Soudan Singh.PW5 did not also see Murari Lal at the spot when they reached, after the deceased was injured and burnt.This apart there is contradiction between the statements made by (DW3) Mohd. Yakub and (DW4) Hari Prasad.DW3 had stated that appellant was with him whereas DW4 had stated that he along with the appellant went to the house of the deceased i.e. the house of Murari Lal.Why and how Murari Lal came to him is not indicated or explained.He had suddenly sprung up and decided to support the appellant, probably keeping in mind the interest of the children.DW-4's statement that he came to know about the arrest of the appellant 2/3 days after the incident is not believable and cannot be accepted.In his statement, he had stated that his daughter deceased used to tell him that the accused used to favour his brother and sister-in-law and was not providing proper food or properly maintaining her.His daughter used to tell her grievances.He used to advise her daughter to reside peacefully as it was a family matter.He had met his daughter on the CRL.His daughter was unhappy on account of some dispute, which had arisen 4-5 months prior to the incident between his two sons and son-in-law, i.e., appellant, who had worked together.He was not, however, aware about the cause of the dispute.His sons were not having ill feeling towards the accused but they were not on visiting terms.It was suggested to him that the deceased had committed suicide.The suggestion was denied.A. No. 541/2012 Page 11 of 19A. No. 541/2012 Page 12 of 19DW-5, Girish Kumar had stated that he was residing in the neighbourhood and on 27th September, 2004, at 2.30 P.M. he heard noise of ""bachao bachao"" and went to the house of the sister of Soudan Singh, who was shouting and was standing in a gali in a burnt condition.Soudan Singh had put a blanket on her and she was completely burnt.Pavitra met them and told them that her mother had got burnt while preparing tea on the stove and one neighbour had called 100 number.He claimed that he had travelled with Soudan Singh and was with the deceased when she was admitted in the emergency in JPN Hospital, and was treated by a lady doctor.Deceased had not made any statement to the lady doctor.On being cross-examined, he denied that he had not accompanied the deceased to the hospital in the PCR van as well as in the CAT ambulance.His presence was not put to PW-2, Soudan Singh, when he was cross-examined.PW-6, SI Pradeep Rana, Jr. Ambulance Officer, CAT Ambulance Service had stated that there was one attendant.He was not cross-examined that DW-5 was also present.A. No. 541/2012 Page 13 of 19In the said case, the police had failed to examine witnesses essential for unfolding of the narrative on which the prosecution case was based.Some of the eye witnesses to the occurrence named in the FIR, who were important witnesses were not examined and kept back.This, it was indicated, was a special significance given the discrepancy between the FIR and the version of the occurrence given by the prosecution in the Court.20. PW-20, Head Constable Omender Kumar, in his statement had stated that he was posted as Head Constable in PCR, North-West Zone and had received a call that one lady had received burn injuries in Shahabad Dairy.He reached the house and noticed that one lady with burn injuries was lying at the gate of the house and Soudan Singh was present there.She was oriented and speaking.She was taken in the PCR van and then in the CAT van, which was parked at G.T. Karnal bye pass.The lady had given her name as Sansarwati, wife of Murari Lal.In the examination-in-chief, he had stated that the injured lady did not tell anything else to him or his staff.However, when cross-A. No. 541/2012 Page 14 of 19examined by the Public Prosecutor, PW-20 had stated that she had named her husband Murari Lal as the person, who had poured kerosene upon her and set her on fire.This fact was recorded in the Exhibit PW- 19/C, the PCR form, a form in which communication made is recorded.Her husband was not there.He had forgotten the said facts in his examination-in-chief.PW-20 had, therefore, initially denied whether the deceased had said anything to him or his staff, but later on when confronted with Ex. PW19/C PCR form, he had stated that the deceased named Murari Lal as the person who had poured kerosene oil on her and set her on fire.Statement of PW-20 has been relied upon to the limited extent and purpose i.e. that when he had transported the deceased in the PCR van, Soudan Singh was with them and the deceased was oriented and speaking.He had denied that (DW5) Girish Kumar had accompanied them in the PCR van.A.

+"Form No.J(1) IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA Criminal Revisional Jurisdiction Present:The Hon'ble Justice Madhumati Mitra C.R.R. 614 of 2019 With CRAN 1613 of 2019 Pramod Kumar Jhunjhunwala Anr.The petitioners have approached before this Court for quashing of the criminal proceedings being C.S.Case No.6173/2018 under Sections 120B/420/406/364/364A/506 of the Indian Penal Code pending before the Learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 11th Court, Kolkata.Before dealing with the rival submissions of the parties, it would be appropriate to set out the facts briefly.The petitioners are husband and wife and they are the accused of the criminal proceeding pending before the Learned Metropolitan Magistrate, 11th Court, Kolkata.Petitioners have stated in their application that they were the owner of a piece of land with an incomplete super structure of (G+2).The petitioners formed a company and became its directors and holders of the entire shares of the said company viz M/s. Precious Plastic Pvt. Ltd. The present opposite party proposed the petitioners to take over the said company and develop the project.There was an agreement between the present petitioners and the opposite party who was the director of three companies to take over the company of the petitioners.It was settled that the opposite party was to pay a sum of Rs. 4 crores at the beginning.After completion of the entire construction, a sum of Rs.5 crores would be paid to the petitioners along with 1st floor of the building with car parking space.Opposite party neither paid Rs.5 crores after completion of the building nor handed over the 1st floor of the building as agreed upon.However, the parties came to an understanding.During the course of that understanding the signatures of the petitioners were obtained on several documents.Petitioners came to know that those signatures were converted into some valuable documents.Present opposite party filed protest petition opposing the prayer of investigating officer to discharge the petitioner.The said protest petitioner was rejected by the Learned Magistrate and accused was discharged.Learned Chief Metropolitan Magistrate after taking cognizance transferred the same to the file of Learned Metropolitan Magistrate 11th Court for enquiry and disposal in accordance with law.On 05.04.2018, Learned Magistrate examined the complainant under Section 200 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and directed the officer in charge of Hare Street Police Station to take necessary steps for causing an inquiry over the allegations made in the complaint as per the provision contained in Section 202 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.Having heard the Learned Counsel for the parties and on perusal of the materials placed on record, it appears to me that the short question that arises for consideration in this application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is whether the Learned Magistrate was justified in issuing process against the petitioners.The order of issuance of the process has been strongly challenged by the petitioners mainly on three grounds:The 1st ground is that previously the opposite party lodged an FIR in respect of the self-same allegations and police submitted final report after completion of investigation.Opposite party filed protest petition challenging the said final report and that protest petition was rejected.The order of rejection of protest petition has not been challenged.Thereafter, the opposite party instead of challenging the said order filed the present complaint on same facts.It is the specific claim of the petitioners that the present complaint being second complaint is totally barred in the eye of law.Now, I have to deal with the points raised by the petitioners one by one.From the copy of the order dated 05.01.2018 passed in G.R.Case No.2298 of 2015, it transpires that after completion of investigation final report was submitted in connection with Hare Street Police Station Case No. 594 of 2015 and the present opposite party filed protest petition.That order of rejection of protest application had not been challenged by the opposite party.Opposite party filed a second complainant on the same facts.""Cognizance taken.Register the case.","['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 364 in The Indian Penal

Counsel further submitted that both the witnesses admitted that there was no electricity at the spot and therefore it would not have been possible for them to see the deceased being stabbed.Further [Crl.A.28, 65, 66/10 & 131/11] Page 3 there was full grown Jawar crop in the field and therefore it is highly unlikely that they would have seen the incident taking place.It was submitted that the accused, Neeraj and Vicky in their statements under Section 313 Cr.PC stated that they were going home from their work-place when they found deceased lying in an injured condition in the field; they (Neeraj and Vicky) brought him to the village chowk and informed his family members.The mother of the deceased dialed 100 number and at about 08:30 PM, the police came to the house of Neeraj and Vicky and took them to the police station.To support their story, they have examined two defense witnesses.DW-1, Baljeet deposed that he knew accused Neeraj and Vicky as well the deceased and his family as they were his neighbours.He deposed that about 6-7 days after 2nd October at about 7/7:30 PM, he heard some noise and came out of his house and saw accused Neeraj and Vicky bringing deceased Vijender to the village chowk.He further deposed that immediately the mother of the deceased, his brothers Ravinder and Shailender and uncle Jagdish also reached the chowk.Nanak (PW-13) took the deceased along with Ravinder (PW-1) on his motorcycle to the hospital.He further deposed that after about an hour and a half, the police came to the village and took Neeraj and Vicky away.He further stated that on inquiry, he came to know from Neeraj and Vicky that he was brought from a field where he was lying in an injured condition.He denied the suggestion that he was deposing falsely at the instance of the accused.Counsel submitted that DW-2 Om Narain deposed that on 08.10.2001 he had gone to the shop of Bhure Lal for getting his scooter painted and at about 8 PM a gypsy with 3 police officials came there.He further deposed that accused Ravi was painting his scooter at that time and accused Soni was carrying out painting work [Crl.A.28, 65, 66/10 & 131/11] Page 4 on a four wheeler.He further deposed that the police officials took the accused persons away after getting their clothes changed.He denied the suggestion that he had cooked up the story.The Ld. Counsel for the appellants submitted that the deposition of the two defense witnesses proves that the accused have been falsely implicated in this case and that they have been arrested on mere suspicion.These circumstances, coupled with the fact that the names of the attackers were identified at the earliest point, ruled out the possibility of false implication.However they spotted a boy coming on foot about a half kilometer before the village and on the pointing out of PW-1 accused Soni was apprehended.Accused Soni upon interrogation disclosed that co-accused Ravi was hiding in Parhladpur.Thereafter, the accused Ravi made a disclosure statement and got the weapon of offence i.e. a knife recovered from the bushes; the knife was seized and a sketch of the knife was prepared.The police also seized the blood stained clothes accused Ravi was wearing at the time of the commission of the offence.In cross-examination PW-1 stated that they had no enmity with the accused persons.He also stated that his house was ""pucca"" but there was no toilet due to which all the family members used to go outside to ease themselves.He further stated that he spotted Vijender from a distance of about 40-50 paces when he along with Shailender (PW-3) was easing himself; they were sitting before the pulliya in the agricultural field and no crop [Crl.A.28, 65, 66/10 & 131/11] Page 7 had come up at that time.He stated that he heard the noises when he was about to sit.He further stated that the faces of the accused were towards them (PW-1 and PW-3) and they saw Vicky and Neeraj holding Vijender.He further stated that he saw accused Ravi attacking Vijender with a knife when he (PW-1) was running towards the deceased.He stated that when he reached the spot, the deceased was about to fall however he supported him and also caught hold of accused Neeraj; he pulled the collar of Neeraj from behind.He further stated that PW-3 caught hold of accused Vicky; the other two accused ran away.He admitted that as per his visibility, the deceased was stabbed four times.He further admitted that there was no electricity on the road but as it was dawn some natural light was available.He admitted that he alongwith Nanak (PW-13) went to Shahbad on Nanaks motorcycle and from Shahbad they took a van belonging to Shyam Sunder and reached the hospital; the police arrived at the hospital after about half an hour.He stated that the police recorded his statement and from the hospital he alongwith the SHO and the police staff went to the spot in the police car; from the spot they went to the PS where he saw accused Neeraj and Vicky.He further stated that they had left his house at about 06:45 PM and the incident took place at about 7 PM; it took him 15 minutes to reach the chowk from the spot.On reaching the chowk Nanak (PW-13) took out his motorcycle.Blood had fallen on the way to the chowk.He admitted that they reached the hospital at about 8 PM.From the hospital he went to the police post and from the police post he went to the spot.In his further cross-examination he stated that when he reached the spot, accused Ravi and Soni were running away as they heard his cries.He further stated that he informed the police about accused Sonis presence in the village on 10.10.2001 and he was apprehended at about 8/8:30 AM.The accused Soni disclosed about accused Ravis whereabouts and Ravi was apprehended from village Pralhad.He admitted that at the time of the incident Jawar crop was fully grown.He further admitted that after the incident his brother was not able to speak to him due to the injuries and Vijender was not able to tell who had caused the injures.18. PW-3 Shailender who is an eye-witness to the incident has fully corroborated PW-1s version.Both the witnesses were cross-examined at length but the defense was not able to shake their account.Both the witnesses clearly saw accused Neeraj and Vicky holding the deceased and Ravi stabbing the deceased while accused Soni was shouting maar saale ko'.The MLC, Ex.PW-14/A also records the name of accused Ravi.Even PW-5 has deposed that when he reached the spot he saw injured Vijender in a serious condition and accused Neeraj and Vicky were in his custody.The Ld. APP submitted that they have proved the [Crl.A.28, 65, 66/10 & 131/11] Page 9 accused persons guilt beyond reasonable doubt and that the Trial Courts decision should not be interfered with.19. PW-10 Dr. RK Punia, the doctor who conducted the post mortem of Vijender and prepared the post mortem report Ex.PW-10 /A has deposed that in his opinion the injuries were caused by a sharp edged weapon and the cause of death was due to shock and hemorrhage as a result of stab injury to the heart.He further deposed that on 08.11.2001 he received a request from the SHO along with a parcel of a weapon.He gave an opinion Ex.PW-10/D that the injuries mentioned in the post mortem could have been caused by the knife examined by him.Therefore, PW-10s deposition also corroborates with the eye-witness account.The injured Vijeder was taken to the hospital, at 8:30 PM (Ex PW-14/A).The rukka was recorded at 11-20 PM (Ex PW-17/A), the FIR registered at 12:20 AM (Ex. PW-2/A).These circumstances, coupled with the fact that the names of the attackers were identified at the earliest point, in the rukka, recorded at 11-20 PM, improbibilizes false implication of the accused.[Crl.A.28, 65, 66/10 & 131/11] Page 10The testimony of witnesses is corroborated by the post mortem report, which says that the deceased had been inflicted four sharp edged injuries; two on the face, and two on the chest.One of the chest injuries was deep enough to penetrate to the heart.The post mortem report and the testimony of PW-10 proved that the knife injury which penetrated the heart was the cause of death.PW-17/B and Ex. PW-17/C are arrest memos in respect of Vicky and Neeraj, who were nabbed at the spot; the police showed their arrest at 5-30 AM.This fact, together with the timing of the FIR and the rukka, in the opinion of the Court, provide external corroboration to the prosecution witnesses version.He clearly was waiting for an opportunity to get even with him.The knife, wielded by him, and the nature of injuries inflicted on a vital part of the body, i.e the chest, which was deep enough to cause the fatality, rule out the applicability of explanation to Section 300 fourth exception, IPC.The intention here was to clearly kill Vijender, and the appellant Ravi succeeded in doing it.The other three accused were unarmed.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"JUDGMENT S.K. Chawla, J.Appellant Mohammad Salam challenges his conviction under Section 302, I.P.C. and sentence of imprisonment for life inflicted thereunder.The prosecution case was that on 8-11-1983 at about 11.15 p.m., deceased Kallu Lal Jain, a Cloth Merchant of Jabalpur, went along with his brother Mulayamchand Jain (P.W.-9) to the house of one Islam for dunning for credit money of Rs. 35/-, being the unpaid price of cloth due from Islam.Two brothers of Islam named Jannu and Salam (appellant herein) were found standing at the door of the house.When the deceased asked them about whereabouts of Islam, appellant Salam replied that he was sleeping inside the house.The deceased insisted upon Islam being woken up because he urgently wanted money from Islam.At that stage Islam showed himself up and stood behind appellant Salam.While the conversation was going on, appellant Salam got down from the doorsill, of his house and reaching up to the place where the deceased was standing on the road, plunged a dagger into the abdomen of the deceased.After inflicting that injury, the appellant took to his heels.Deceased Kallu Lal succumbed to his injury on 16-11-1983 in Victoria Hospital, Jabalpur.The said evidence satisfactorily proved the prosecution case.It was a case of abdominal stab wound which was viscera deep.The death had taken place due to gangrene and paralysis of the intestines resulting from the abdominal wound.It was held that the supervening cause of death being the result of the wound, the offender was responsible for causing the death.The only point seriously urged by Shri Rajendra Singh, learned Counsel for the appellant, was that the only offence brought home to the appellant was the reduced offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder punishable under Section 304, I.P.C. and not the offence of murder under Section 302, I.P.C. of which the appellant was convicted by the learned trial Judge.The nature of the injury sustained by the deceased was described by Dr. S. K. Nema (P.W. 6), who had assisted Senior Doctor Shri Shrivastava (P.W. 16) in performing operation on the injury.Dr. Nema deposed that the stab injury was situated over the lower part of the sternum and went downwards in the abdominal cavity.Exploratory leprotomy was done for operation.There were two perforations measuring 1/2 cm.x 1/4 cm.each through and through over the pyloric part of the stomach, which were repaired by operation.The deceased however developed peritonitis and septicaemia which resulted in his death.Dr. R. D. Sharma (P.W. 16) deposed that the injury sustained by the deceased was likely to cause death.The learned trial Judge found that the appellant had time, however little, for meditation when the deceased was engaged in conversation with him and his brother; that the appellant had thereafter purposely got down from the door-still of his house and after reaching up to the place where the deceased was standing, had plunged a dangerous weapon like the dagger in question into the abdomen of the deceased which was a vital part of the body.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 299 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

three accused.We have heard the learned counsel for the appellants, the learnedAdditional Public Prosecutor for the respondent and we have also perused therecords carefully.The learned counsel for the appellants would submit that there arelot of flaws in the case of the prosecution, which would create doubts in thecase and accordingly the appellants are entitled for acquittal.He wouldsubmit that though it is stated that from the Virudhunagar Hospital at about4.30 a.m., the deceased was taken to the Government Rajaji Hospital, theDoctor, who admitted him has not been examined.Thus, according to him, theearliest information passed on to the Doctor had not been produced.He wouldfurther submit that whether the deceased was in a fit state of mind, at thetime, when he was admitted or not has been suppressed, because of the non production of the Accident Register as well as subsequent treatment recordsmaintained in the hospital.The learned counsel would submit that P.Ws.1 and2 would not have been present at all at the time of occurrence.He wouldfurther submit that there was no motive at all for these accused to committhe murder of the deceased.In the alternative, the learned counsel wouldsubmit that at the most, so far as the first accused is concerned, theoffences would fall only under Section 304(i) IPC and the others areconcerned, absolutely, there is no evidence, he has contended.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would vehemently opposethis appeal.According to him, there are no reasons to reject the evidencesof P.Ws.1 and 2, whose evidences are highly convincing and cogent.He would further submit that the dying declaration recorded by the learned JudicialMagistrate cannot be discorded for any reason, wherein the deceased hadcategorically stated that these three accused attacked him.He would furthersubmit that at the earliest point of time, when the deceased was taken to theGovernment Hospital, Virudhunagar, the deceased told him that he was attacked by three known persons.Thus, the medical evidence also corroborates the eyewitness account.Thus, according to the learned Additional PublicProsecutor, the prosecution has clearly proved the involvement of theseaccused.Thus, the conviction and sentence do not require any interference atthe hands of this Court.We have considered the above submissions.The alleged occurrence had taken place at the house of thedeceased, i.e. on the pial.In our considered view,they can be believed though not fully but partly.P.Ws.1 and 2 have statedthat the accused 2 and 3 held the deceased tightly so as to facilitate thefirst accused to cut the deceased.If we look into the postmortemcertificate, it would go to show that there are number of injuries on thebody of the deceased.In our considered view, when two persons are holdingthe deceased so tightly, it would not have been possible for so many numberof injuries on so many parts on the body of the deceased.After the occurrence, P.Ws.1 and 2, had taken the deceased to thehospital.In Ex.P8, the deceased had stated that three accusedcame, out of whom, one was having a stick and he did not notice as to whatwas the weapon held by the other two persons.He has further stated thatwithin a fraction of time, the occurrence had taken place.He has made avery general statement that out of suspicion he was attacked.He has not atall stated that the accused 2 and 3 held the deceased.He has also notstated that the first accused cut him.The death was also not due to shock and hemorrhage due to theseinjuries.The first accused has got no history of anybad antecedents.Subsequent to the occurrence also, he has not committed any crime.Having regard to these mitigating as well as aggravatingcircumstances, we are of the view that sentencing the first accused toundergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years and to pay a fine ofRs.10,000/- would meet the ends of justice.In the result, the criminal appeal is partly allowed in thefollowing terms:(i) The conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants 2 and3/accused 2 and 3 are set aside and they are acquitted of all the charges.The fine amount, if any paid by them, shall be refunded to them.(ii) The conviction and sentence imposed on the first appellant/firstaccused under Section 302 IPC is set aside and instead, he is convicted underSection 304(i) IPC and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for sevenyears and to pay a fine of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only), indefault, to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two months.(iii) The trial Court shall take steps to secure the firstaccused/first appellant to commit him in prison to serve out the remainingperiod of sentence.2.The Inspector of Police Aruppukottai Taluk Police Station Mallanginaru, Virudhunagar

Babu Pitale.His version reveals that he was attached to Police outpost at Civil Hospital, Parbhani, in the relevant night.He received information at about 23.50 Hrs on 19.2.2004 to the effect that Sou.Muktabai had received 83% burn injuries.He states that he obtained medical opinion regarding physical and mental condition of injured Sou.Muktabai after visiting the Burns Ward.The first dying declaration (Exh. 45) reveals that deceased Muktabai narrated as to how appellant No. 2 -Laxman used to trouble her family members.Her narration shows that appellant No. 2 - Laxman used to regularly trouble herself and used to beat her sons under inebriated condition.His version reveals that in the relevant evening, he and his brother had gone to a neighbouring house whereas, his father had gone to attend recitation of a book (Pothi).His version reveals that he heard voice of his mother and went to the house.Moreover, she immediately gave oral information to him implicating the appellants as authors of the crime.The testimony of PW-4 Munjaji reveals that spot panchnama (Exh. 29) was drawn by the Police at house of the deceased.According to PW-8 Madhav, Muktabai gave oral dying declaration to him when he met her at the Civil Hospital.He is brother of deceased Muktabai.JUDGMENT V.R. Kingaonkar, J.By the impugned Judgment, appellants are convicted for offences punishable under Section 304II read with 34 of the I.P.C. and under Section 457 read with 34 of the I.P.C. They have been sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 7 (seven) years and to pay fine of Rs. 2,000/ (Rs. Two thousand) each in default, to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 6 (six) months and to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 3 (three) years and to pay fine of Rs. 1,000/- (Rs. One thousand) each in default, to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 3 (three) months, respectively, for the above offences.Both the substantive sentences have been directed to run concurrently.The incident giving rise to the prosecution occurred in the evening of 19th February 2004 at residential house of deceased Muktabai.Her husband -Bapurao and appellant No. 2 - Laxman are brothers inter se.Appellant No. 1 is the wife of appellant No. 2 and appellant No. 3 is their son.Said Bapurao and appellant No. 2 were residing separately but there were disputes on account of demand for complete partition of the residential house.So, Muktabai closed the door of her house.The appellants thereafter entered the house by removing corrugated zinc sheets of the roof.The appellant No. 2 -Laxman poured kerosene on her person, appellant No. 1 - Sarubai instigated the other two appellants to do away with her life saying "" remove this thorn !"".Immediately appellant No. 3 Dnyaneshwar set her ablaze by lighting a match stick.The post mortem examination revealed that Muktabai died as a result of cardio respiratory failure due to septicemia, which was result of 100% burn injuries sustained by her.On basis of material gathered during investigation, the appellants were charge-sheeted for the offences punishable under Sections 302 and 457 read with 34 of the I.P.C.The appellants denied truth into the accusations.They pleaded not guilty to the charge (Exh. 14).They did not raise any specific defence.It is suggested that they have been falsely implicated due to the dispute over demand of partition of the house property.At the trial, the prosecution examined in all 9 (nine) witnesses in support of its case.The defence examined DW-1 Laxman, the village Police Patil, in order to disprove oral dying declaration given by deceased Muktabai to her son.The learned Sessions Judge accepted the prosecution case on basis of the two written dying declarations as well as oral dying declaration of the deceased.The learned Sessions Judge held that the appellants, in furtherance of their common intention, committed house trespass in the residential house of deceased Muktabai in the relevant night in order to commit cognizable offence and they set fire to her person in furtherance of their common intention.Hence, they were convicted and sentenced as mentioned at the outset.Mr. Chatterji, learned Advocate, would submit that dying declarations of deceased Muktabai cannot be safely relied upon.He argued that recording of the dying declarations is not free from doubt.He further argued that versions of the deceased in the two dying declarations are different from one another.He contended that the appellants could not be convicted when the dying declarations are inconsistent with each other and are unreliable.As against this, learned A.P.P. Mr. Adhav supports the impugned Judgment.The prosecution case hinges upon the two written dying declarations of Sou.So also, oral dying declaration given by her to the son and also certain attending circumstances.A half burnt quilt was also found there.The spot panchnama was drawn on 20.2.2004, i.e. next day of the incident.House of the appellants is situated in Northern side of the residential premises of deceased Muktabai.The testimony of PW-1 Vaijnath Jadhav reveals that he was working as Naib Tahsildar at Parbhani and was assigned duty, being Executive Magistrate, of recording the dying declarations.His version purports to show that in the night between 19th and 20th February 2004, around 12.20 Hrs., he received a request letter from Nanalpeth Police Station for recording dying declaration of injured Muktabai.He visited Civil Hospital, Parbhani at about 12.30 a.m. and contacted the Medical Officer.He corroborates the dying declaration (Exh. 27).He took her thumb impression at bottom of the statement.The cross-examination of PW-Vaijnath shows that he had not received any training for appropriate recording of dying declaration.He did not endorse the dying declaration to show that it was read over to injured Sou.Muktabai and that she admitted the contents as correct one.He also did not affix any official seal on the dying declaration.His evidence reveals that some of the relatives of injured Sou.Muktabai were in her proximity but he further adds that they were asked to go outside.His version reveals that while recording the dying declaration (Exh. 27), except himself and injured patient (Sou.Muktabai), no other person was present at the place.He admits that he did not mention the time of completing the recording of dying declaration (Exh. 27) but says that he had forgotten to mention it.He further admits that the thumb impression on the dying declaration is not complete impression of the thumb of Sou.Her dying declaration reveals that at about 9.00 p.m., she had locked the house from inside and was sleeping.The appellants knocked the door but she did not open it.They removed the zinc sheets of the roof and thereafter appellant Nos.2 and 3 entered the house and opened the door.Thereafter, appellant No. 1 -Sarubai entered the house.She narrated to the Executive Magistrate that appellant No. 2 - Laxman doused her with kerosene stored in her house and appellant No. 3 - Dnyaneshwar set fire by means of a burning match stick.She raised hue and cry.She further narrated that her sons came there from outside and extinguished the fire by pouring water on her person.The dying declaration shows that since many days appellant No. 2 - Laxman used to pick up quarrels with herself and her husband.The dying declaration also shows that many a times, the appellant No. 2 - Laxman used to come to house in inebriated condition and used to quarrel with her.Coming to another written dying declaration of Sou.He recorded the statement of injured Sou.Muktabai as per her narration.He corroborates recitals of the dying declaration (Exh. 45).He obtained thumb mark of her right hand and endorsed the dying declaration.The recitals of the dying declaration (Exh. 45) would show that deceased Muktabai narrated to the Police Officer, the genesis of the ghastly incident.The endorsement on the dying declaration shows that Crime No. 17/2004 was registered for offences, punishable under Section 307 and 448 read with 34 of the I.P.C. in the same night at about 12.15 Hrs. by the Police.Obviously, that is the first dying declaration recorded after Sou.Muktabai was admitted in the Civil Hospital.She gave details of genesis of the incident.Her dying declaration shows that in the relevant evening, at about 9.00 p.m., the appellant No. 2 -Laxman came under inebriated condition and started giving abuses to her.He gave abuses saying that she was of loose character and had sexual relations with inhabitants of village Hatkarwadi.She further narrated that she got closed the door of her house.She further narrated that the appellants entered the house by pushing aside the corrugated zinc sheets of the roof.Her dying declaration shows that appellant No. 2 - Laxman poured kerosene on her person, appellant No. 1 -Sarubai instigated the other appellants to kill her, saying that her thorn shall be removed ( ).The appellant No. 3 - Dnyaneshwar thereafter lighted a match stick and set her ablaze.She narrated before the Police Officer that she raised cry and her sons came from outside and extinguished the fire.The dying declaration bears partial thumb mark of right hand of deceased Muktabai.It also bears the endorsements made by the Medical Officer (Exh. 34 and 35) at the beginning and at the bottom thereof.Credibility of the written dying declarations must be examined from the core of the recitals and the manner, in which the recording was done.The dying declaration recorded by PW-7 P.S.I. Pitale is at the first available opportunity.According to him, the Medical Officer examined the patient and opined that she would be able to give her statement.After taking such endorsement on top of the paper, he commenced recording of the statement of injured Muktabai.His version categorically shows that after the statement was written down, it was read over to injured Muktabai.Thereafter, thumb impression of her right hand was obtained at the bottom.The version of PW-P.S.I. Pitale reveals that on 24.2.2004, said Muktabai died.He prepared inquest panchnama in presence of two panchas.The inquest panchnama (Exh.24) is corroborated by him.True, there is inconsistency between the dying declaration (Exh. 45) and the dying declaration (Exh. 27) in so far as manner, in which the appellants entered the house.In the first dying declaration (Exh.45), Muktabai narrated that after pushing aside the corrugated zinc sheets of the roof, all the three appellants made entry to the house.She also narrated that the appellant No. 1 - Sarubai instigated the other two appellants to eliminate her.The second dying declaration shows that the appellant Nos.2 and 3 entered the house by pushing aside the corrugated zinc sheets of the roof and thereafter they opened the door.It was thereafter that appellant No. 1 - Sarubai entered the house.She narrated to PW-P.S.I. Pitale that the appellant No. 2 -Laxman poured kerosene on her person and appellant No. 3 - Dnyeshwar lighted a match stick and set her ablaze.Same is her version in the subsequent written dying declaration (Exh. 27).The Apex Court came across two dying declarations, which were inconsistent with each other.It may be true that the court while considering the credibility of such dying declarations may seek corroboration.PW-8 in her evidence categorically stated that the deceased had stated that it was the appellant who had poured kerosene.The deceased was seen in flames by her.Accused was seen running away from this place.Considering the tenor of the two written dying declarations available in the present case, I am of the opinion that the only inconsistency appearing in both these dying declarations is regarding role played by the appellant No. 1 - Sarubai.Otherwise, both the dying declarations are consistent and would reveal that the appellant No. 2 -Laxman poured kerosene on Muktabai and appellant No. 3 - Dnyandeo @ Dnyaneshwar lighted a match stick and set her ablaze.He saw the mother-Muktabai in burning condition.He extinguished the fire after pouring water on her person, covered her person with a gunny bag and called his father.His version purports to show that the appellants were standing outside the house.The injured told him that the appellant No. 2 - Laxman had poured kerosene on her person, appellant No. 1 Sarubai instigated and, therefore, the appellant No. 3 -Dnyaneshwar set fire to her person by a match stick.It is admitted by PW-Namdeo that when injured was rushed to hospital in an auto rickshaw, his father and Police Patil - Laxman Jorwar had also accompanied them.His evidence reveals that he did not disclose the incident to the Medical Officer at the Civil Hospital.Though PW-Namdeo is not eye witness to the incident, yet his version shows presence of the appellants outside house immediately after his mother was found in burning condition.His version shows that Muktabai was in serious condition at the relevant time.His version shows that Muktabai narrated to him that appellant No. 2 - Laxman poured kerosene and appellant No. 3 -Dnyaneshwar set fire to her person whereas, appellant No. 1 -Sarubai was saying that she be killed.The version of PW-9 A.P.I. Anwarkhan would show the steps taken during the course of investigation.He admits that the Police statement of DW-1 Laxman Jorwar, Police Patil, revealed that deceased Muktabai was not able to talk in the hospital.DW-1 Laxman Jorwar is the Police Patil of the village.His version reveals that he accompanied injured Muktabai and her husband during the journey to Civil Hospital.They went to Civil Hospital in an auto rickshaw.His version only shows that Muktabai had no talk with him.That does not, however, mean her inability to speak at the relevant time.It only shows that she did not confide in him and did not narrate to him as to how she received the burn injuries.Considering the material placed on record, it must be said that medical endorsements on both the dying declarations are duly corroborated by PW-Dr.Narendra Warma.The deceased was conscious and fit to give her statement when the dying declarations (Exh. 45 and Exh. 27) were recorded.Having regard to inconsistency about alleged instigation by the appellant No. 1 - Sarubai, the inconsistency about her entry in the house and also about her immediate presence outside the house with other two accused, she deserves benefit of doubt.Still, however, the appellant Nos.2 and 3 cannot get any benefit out of the minor inconsistency or discrepancy appearing in the two dying declarations.Both the dying declarations are quite truth bearing and acceptable.I am of the opinion that conviction of the appellant Nos.2 and 3 for the offences punishable under Section 304II read with Section 34 of the I.P.C. and Section 457 read with Section 34 of the I.P.C. is, therefore, legal and proper.In the result, the appeal is partly allowed.The impugned order of conviction and sentence against the appellant No. 1 - Sarubai is set aside.The amount of fine, if deposited, be refunded to her.The appeal to the extent it relates to the appellant Nos.2 and 3, is dismissed.The impugned order of conviction and sentence recorded against the appellant Nos. 2 and 3 is maintained.","['Section 457 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 448 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Agency.This co-operationto the CBI has been treated by the State Police as if he is working againstthe interest of the State Police.The petitioner's name has beenincluded as if he was a party to the alleged conspiracy.13.The sixth respondent has filed the counter affidavit alleging thedetails of the statement of witnesses who have implicated the accusedpersons, as follows:(1)2004 MLJ (Crl.) 360 (Ms.Arokia Mary Lucia v. The State of TamilNadu, wherein it has been held as follows:?29.In the above circumstances, there is no myth in examining thosewitnesses, who are all the accused in the petitioner's earlier complaint withwhom the police have joined hands with, in order to register a false caseagainst the petitioner, under Section 164 Cr.P.C. before the Magistrate andthe witnesses also, like the parrots, have repeated distorted and inventedthe inconsistent facts of the case artificially recorded under Section 161Cr.P.C. against the petitioner in a mechanical and unbelievable manner andthis Court cannot be carried away by such artificially made up case failingto resort to the rescue of persons like the petitioner, which would onlyamount to encouraging such false cases deliberately foisted to cheat thesystem which, if not quashed, would only give the way for dishonest andunreasonable officers maligning and marring the authority of law and thejudicial convictions.30.Therefore, with the given opportunity, such falsely registered casesput down with the iron hand would serve the purpose not only to rescue thosevictims of such cases such as the petitioner from the clutches of those, whoregister the cases crossing the barriers and norms of law but also wouldserve as a deterrent measure for such authorities from taking advantage ofthe loopholes to foist the cases against innocent and service minded persons,who are wedded to the social and right causes, like the petitioner.No doubt, the employermight have given the certificate stating that the petitioner was elsewhere.Thesegrounds may be good grounds for the plea of acquittal, if the plea isestablished during trial and it is not a ground for quashing the proceedings,when there is no supporting material.28.The fact remains that already final report has been filed before theCourt.The very plea taken by the petitioners coupled with the counteraffidavit filed detailing the materials which implicate the petitionersherein would go to show that it is not a case for discharge.The plea takenby the accused persons herein no doubt requires careful scrutiny, detailedexamination and evaluation and if it is established by clinching evidencethat it is true, then they can place the plea for acquittal before the TrialCourt.30.In the result, these Criminal Original Petitions are dismissed.Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.4.The District Collector, Ramanathapuram District, Ramanathapuram.5.The Superintendent of Police, Ramanathapuram District, Ramanathapuram.6.The Inspector of Police, Paramakudi Town Police Station, Paramakudi, Ramanathapuram District.7.The Inspector of Police, Emaneswaram Police Station, Paramakudi Taluk, Ramanathapuram District.8.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai. .","['Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dr.He was told that theywere attacked by four known persons.But absolutely, there is no explanationeither regarding the presence of these injuries and cause for these injuriesby any of the eye witnesses.Applying the above dictum laid down to the facts of the presentcase, if we look into the evidences of P.Ws.1 to 4, undoubtedly, they are allinterested witnesses and they are closely related to the deceased.There isalso enmity between these two families.It isalso the law that during the trial of the case, all the materials collectedin the counter case should be placed and proved in evidence.But in thiscase, unfortunately, except marking the xerox copy of the FIR and the finalreport, no other materials have been proved in evidence.But the prosecution has not chosen to examine anyindependent witness from that locality.Had any independent witness beenexamined from that locality, truth would have come out and in which case, itwould have been possible to find out whether the accused party were theaggressors or the deceased party were the aggressors.Thus, in our considered view, the fact that theaccused are the aggressors has not been duly established by the prosecution.In view of the foregoing discussions, we hold that the prosecutionhas not come forward with the true version of the occurrence and thus, theprosecution has failed to prove the case beyond reasonable doubts.Therefore, the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants by the trialCourt is liable to the set aside.In the result, the Criminal Appeal is allowed; the conviction andsentence imposed on the appellants are set aside and the appellants areacquitted.2.The Inspector of Police, Aralvaimozhy Police Station, Kanyakumari District.3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai. .","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 427 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"The appellant was employed in the Cooper Alien Mills at Kanpur and he was occupying one of the quarters in a settlement meant for the labouring classes known as the Allenganj Settlement.On 25-4-1957 when most of the menfolk residing there had gone away to the Mills to attend to their duties the appellant, it is said, came out of his quarters at about 7 A.M. armed with a Gandasa.It is said that Sarju Prasad P.W. 2 who was living with his brother in the Allenganj Settlement was sitting on his bed in front of his house when Rustam Ali came and struck him from behind with the Gandasa.Sarju Prasad tried to struggle for his safety but he was given several blows with the Gandasa in the meantime.Rustam Ali then ran away towards the north leaving Sarju Prasad there.It is further said that Om Prakash the son of Dhani Ram who was sitting on a cot in front of quarter No. 40/15 of his father was given Gandasa blow by Rustam Ali who thereafter ran away further north.During the process of arrest, and subsequently as well, injuries had been inflicted on Rustam Ali by the persons who had assembled there out of natural revolt engendered by the enormity of the crime committed by him.The emergency squad of the police was in the meantime informed by some one.Rustam Ali was handed over to the police and was taken to the hospital where he was attended to for his injuries.JUDGMENT D.N. Roy, J.This is an appeal by Rustam Ali who has been convicted under Section 302, I.P.C. for the murder of Om Prakash, son of Dhani Ram, aged about"" four years, and sentenced to death; and who has also been convicted under Section 307 for a brutal attack onSarju Prasad with the intention of killing him and has been sentenced to three years' rigorous imprisonment.The report of the occurrence was made at the police station by Mustaq Ali at 7-35 A.M. Mus-taq Ali is also employed in the Cooper Alien Mills and he had rushed to the place of occurrence on hearing the alarm of the people who had taken part in overpowering the accused.After the report was made the investigation of the case was taken up by Sub-Inspector Mohammad Sultan, the Second Officer of police station Nawabganj at the instance of Sub-Inspector Chandrapal Singh the Station Officer of that place.Sarju Prasad and Om Prakash were both hurried to the hospital soon after their receiving the injuries, Sarju Prasad's injuries were examined by Dr. D. S. Kapoor, P.W. 19, and the following injuries were found on his person :Incised would 4 1/2"" by 1 3/4"" muscle deep, On the posterior lateral aspect of the middle 1/3 of the left thigh, directed obliquely and internally and posteriorly.Incised wound, 1"" by 1/2"", muscle deep, on the left calf, posterior aspect, 5"" below the knee.Incised wound 1/4"" by 1/3"", skin deep, over the knuckle of right index finger.Incised wound 3"" by 1"", bone deep, over the posterior aspect of head, transversely placed, slightly curved, lower flap sliced down.Incised wound, 2 1/4"" by 1"", muscle deep, and muscle cut on the left side of the neck 3"" below the car of left side passing backwards.The injuries of Om Prakash son of Dhani Ram were examined by Dr. Sharda Prasad (P.W. 18).An incised wound 3 1/2"" x 1/2"" x 1 1/2"" deep, below the occiput, on the back portion of the neck2"" to the right and 1 1/2"" to the left of the mid-line of the neck, was found.In spite of medical aid Om Prakash did not survive and he died at the hospital on the same date at 12-30 P.M. His body was sent for post mortem examination, which was conducted on that very day at the mortuary at 5-30 p.m. The post mortem examination revealed an incised wound 3 1/2"" x 1"" bone deep on the back of the neck, middle third, cutting the fourth cervical vertebra and injuring the spinal cord partially.Dr. D. P. Gupta was of opinion that death was' caused by shock due to the injury to the spinal cord in the cervical region.When the first information report was lodged by Mustaq Ali P.W. 1 at the police station, the gandasa recovered from the accused, namely, Ex. 1, was handed over there.At the police station it was sealed up by the Head Constable after the recovery memo, had been prepared.This gandasa was sent to the Chemical Examiner and to the Serologist to Government, and it was found to contain human blood.The accused denied the allegations made against him.He denied that he attacked Sarju Prasad and Om Prakash, son of Dhani Ram.He denied that the gandasa Ex. I belonged to him, or that it was taken away from him when he was overpowered.He did not state anything as to how he was arrested and by whom.It may be stated here that on an earlier occasion when the case came up before the learned Sessions Judge for trial, it was contended on behalf of the accused that he was of unsound mind and incapable of making his defence.An inquiry was therefore conducted in respect of that allegation.The Superintendent of that Hospital later on certified in December 1958 that Rustam Ali was then in a fit condition to stand his trial.He was thereafter transferred to Kanpur Jail and the trial was held.The defence that was taken by the accused in the Court of Sessions was that by reason of unsoundness of mind at the time of the alleged commission of the offence he was incapable of knowing the nature of the act and that what he was doing was contrary to law and, therefore, his act was protected under Section 84, I.P.C. To support that plea it was contended on behalf of Rustam Ali that he used to beat his wife and also used to lock her up inside the quarters when he used to go out for works; that he was of an eccentric type; that off and on he raised objections in the factory where he was employed about the quantity of work that was given to him; and that the very fact that he attacked a number of persons just about the timewhen Sarju Prasad and Om Prakash had been assaulted, affords proof of the circumstance that his mind was unhinged.The fact that Sarju Prasad P.W. 2 and Om Prakash son of Dhani Ham had been attacked by the appellant with the gandasa Ext. 1 on the morning of 25-4-1957 at the respective places stated above and that Om Prakash son of Dhani Ram died as a result of the injury received by him on the same date at the hospital at 12-50 p.m. admits of no doubt whatsoever.That was conclusively proved by the medical evidence referred to above and by the eye-witnesses.The first incident relating to Sarju Prasad was testified to not only be Sarju Prasad who was the victim of the assault, but by two other witnesses, Smt. Sunder P.W. 4 and Smt. Rabia P.W. 7, Smt. Sunder is the wife of Sarju Prasad's brother, who had gone out to work.Sunder was inside the house and she came out when she heard Sarju Prasad and Rabia shouting for help.She deposed that she saw Rustam All striking Sarju Prasad with the gandasa.Smt. Rabia resides in one of the neighbouring quarters.She stated that she saw Rustam Ali passing by her quarters.She inquired from him as to why he had not gone to his work, and Rustam Ali told her that he had taken leave for the day.Rustam Ali then took an onward course and Smt. Rabia applied herself to her own work.She then heard the cries of Sarju and, when she raised her head, she found Rustam.She also raised cries.Sarju fell down and became unconscious.The two ladies lifted up Sarju who was sent to the hospital.The statements of these three witnesses fully established the fact that it was Rustam Ali who attacked Sarju Prasad.There was nothing on the record to suggest or to show that these three witnesses had any motive to implicate the accused falsely.With respect to the second incident we have the statement of three witnesses, Lakshmi (P.W. 10), Ram Pyari (P.W. 11) and Dhani Ram (P.W. 16).Ram Pyari and Dhani Ram are the parents of Om Prakash; and Smt. Lakshmi is the wife of one Hem Nath who was residing in the adjoining quarters.All the three witnesses were inside their respective quarters.Smt. Lakshmi heard some noise outside and she came out to see what the matter was and she saw that Rustam Ali was running with a Gandasa in his hand from the side of Sarju Prasad's quarters.At that time Om Prakash the son of Dhani Ram was sitting over the cot in front of his quarter.Om Prakash was getting into the house when he was alerted and asked by his parents to do so, but before he could get inside the house, Rustam Ali struck him with the Gandasa.Om Prakash was rushed to the hospital and in spite of medical aid he expired at the hospital on the same day at about 12-50 P.M. There was nothing on the record to raise any semblance of doubt about the truth of the matter deposed to by these two witnesses.We have already said that in the process of apprehension, and immediately afterwards, those who apprehended him and those who had gathered at the spot made an attack at Rustam Ali obviously on account of the enormity of the offence and the reckless way in which the accused had attacked innocent persons.Mushtaq Ali (P.W. 1) who was one of the persons who had arrested the accused was quite an independent witness.He showed great couragein apprehending the accused.Rustam Ali had no explanation to give as to how he was arrested and when.From what we have said above there is no reason to disbelieve the prosecution evidence relating to the two incidents.That evidence fully established that it was Rustam Ali who made a murderous attack on Om Prakash with the Gandasa' Ex. 1 which resulted in the death of Om Prakash and he also made a murderous attack on Sarju Prasad witness but Sarju Prasad luckily escaped death.The plea raised by the accused, that he is entitled to the protection under Section 84, I.P.C., was, in our opinion, rightly rejected by the learned Sessions Judge.There was no doubt the evidence of Smt. Sunder (P.W. 4) that Rustam Ali used to lock up his wife and children inside his house when housed to go out for work.There was the further evidence of Smt. Ram Pyari (P. W. 11) who stated that Rustam Ali used to quarrel with his wife and to beat her.The attack on Om Prakash son of Dhani Ram was unprovoked; so was the attack on Sarju Prasad.","['Section 465 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Prior to marriage the complainant and her family members were told by Shyamji Mehrotra and his elder brother Ramji Mehrotra who is appellant No.2 herein and their mother Smt. Kamla Mehrotra and her sister Geeta Mehrotra who is appellant No.1 herein that Shyamji is employed as a Team Leader in a top I.T. Company in Chennai and is getting salary of Rs.45,000/- per month.After negotiation between the parents of the complainant and the accused parties, the marriage of the complainant Shipra Seth (later Shipra Mehrotra) and Shyamji Mehrotra was performed after which the respondent-complainant left for the house of her in- laws.It was stated that the atmosphere in the house was peaceful for sometime but soon after the wedding, when all the relatives left, the maid who cooked meals was first of all paid-off by the aforesaid four persons who then told the complainant that from now onwards, the complainant will have to prepare food for the family.In addition, the above mentioned people started taunting and scolding her on trivial issues.The complainant also came to know that Shyamji was not employed anywhere and always stayed in the house.Shyamji gradually took away all the money which the complainant had with her and then told her that her father had not given dowry properly, therefore, she should get Rupees five lakhs from her father in order to enable him to start business, because he was not getting any job.When the complainant clearly declined and stated that she will not ask her parents for money, Shyamji, on instigation of other accused-family members, started beating her occasionally.Ramji Mehrotra often provoked the other three family members to torture and often used to make the complainant feel sad by making inappropriate statements about the complainant and her parents.Her husband Shyamji also took away the salary from the complainant.But, it is alleged that there was no change in his behaviour even after going to Chennai.The complainant often called him on phone to talk to him but he always did irrelevant conversation.At last, when the complainant realized that even her life was in danger, she was compelled to tell everything to her father on phone who was very upset on hearing her woes.On 15.7.2003 complainant heard some conversation of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law from which it appeared to her that they want to kill the complainant in the night only.Thereupon the complainant apprised her father of the situation on phone to which her father replied that he will call back her father-in-law and she should go with him immediately and he will come in the morning.The father-in-law Satish Dhawan and his wife who were living in NOIDA thereafter came in the night and somehow took the complainant to their home who also came to know of everything.On seeing her father and brother, Kamla Mehrotra and Geeta Mehrotra started speaking loudly and started saying that Shyamji would be coming by the evening and so he should come in the evening for talking to them.GYAN SUDHA MISRA, J.This appeal by special leave in which we granted leave has been filed by the appellants against the order dated 6.9.2010 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad in Crl.Miscellaneous Application No.22714/2007 whereby the High Court had been pleased to dispose of the application moved by the appellants under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing the order of the Magistrate taking cognizance against the appellants under Sections 498A/323/504/506 IPC read with Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act with an observation that the question of territorial jurisdiction cannot be properly decided by the High Court under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for want of adequate facts.It was, therefore, left open to the appellants to move the trial court for dropping the proceedings on the ground of lack of territorial jurisdiction.The High Court however granted interim protection to the appellants by directing the authorities not to issue coercive process against the appellants until disposal of the application filed by the appellants with a further direction to the trial court to dispose of the application if moved by the appellants, within a period of two months from the date of moving the application.The application under Section 482 Cr.P.C. was thus disposed of by the High Court.The appellants in spite of the liberty granted to them to move the trial court, have filed this appeal for quashing the proceedings which had been initiated on the basis of a case lodged by the respondent No.2 Smt. Shipra Mehrotra (earlier known as Shipra Seth) against her husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law.The case emerges out of the first information report lodged by respondent No.2 Smt. Shipra Mehrotra under Sections 498A/323/504/506 IPC read with Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act bearing F.I.R.No.The F.I.R. was registered at Mahila Thana Daraganj, Allahabad wherein the complainant alleged that she was married to Shyamji Mehrotra s/o Balbir Saran who was living at Eros Garden, Charmswood Village, Faridabad, Suraj Kund Road at Faridabad Haryana as per the Hindu marriage rites and customs.To escape every day torture and financial status of the family, the complainant took up a job in a Call Centre at Convergys on 17.2.2003 where the complainant had to do night shifts due to which she used to come back home at around 3 a.m. in the morning.Just on her return from work, the household people started playing bhajan cassettes after which she had to getup at 7’o clock in the morning to prepare and serve food to all the members in the family.Often on falling asleep in the morning, Shyamji, Kamla Devi and Geeta Mehrotra tortured the complainant every day mentally and physically.He never spoke properly with the complainant whenever he visited home and often used to hurl filthy abuses.The complainant states that she often wept and tolerated the tortures of the accused persons for a long time but did not complain to her family members, as that would have made them feel sad.Her father and brother then went away from there.That very day, her husband Shyamji and brother-in-law Ramji also reached home.On reaching there, Shyamji abused her on phone and told her to send her father.When father and brother of the complainant went home in the evening, they were also insulted by all the four and video camera and tape were played and in the end they were told that they should leave from here.Insulted, they came back from there and then came back to Allahabad with the complainant.For many days the complainant and her family members hoped that the situation would improve if the matter was resolved.Many times other people tried to persuade the in – laws but to no avail.Her brother went to their house to talk to her in – laws but it came to his knowledge that the in – laws had changed their house.After much effort, they came to know that the father-in- law and mother-in-law started living at B-39, Brahma cooperative group housing society, block 7, sector-7, Dwarka, Delhi.On 19.09.04 evening, her father talked to Kamla Mehrotra and Geeta Mehrotra regarding the complainant using bad words and it was said that if her daughter came there she will be kicked out.After some time Shyamji rang up at complainant’s home but on hearing the complainant’s voice, he told her abusively that now she should not come his way and she should tell her father not to phone him in future.At approximately 10:30 pm in the night Ramji’s phone came to the complainant’s home.He used bad words while talking to her father and in the end said that he had got papers prepared in his defence and he may do whatever he could but if he could afford to give Rs.10 lakhs then it should be conveyed after which he will reconsider the matter.If the girl was sent to his place without money, then even her dead body will not be found.On hearing these talks of the accused, the complainant believed that her in-laws will not let the complainant enter their home without taking ten lakhs and if the complainant went there on her own, she will not be safe.Hence, she lodged the report wherein she prayed that the SHO Daraganj should be ordered to do the needful after registering the case against the accused Shyam Mehrotra, Ramji Mehrotra, Kamla Mehrotra and Geeta Mehrotra.Thus, in substance, the complainant related the bickering at her matrimonial home which made her life miserable in several ways and compelled her to leave her in- law’s place in order to live with her father where she lodged a police case as stated hereinbefore.On the basis of the complaint, the investigating authorities at P.S. Daraganj, Allahabad started investigation of the case and thereafter the police submitted chargesheet against the appellants and other family members of the complainant’s husband.Hence, the appellants who are sister and brother of the complainant’s husband filed petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for quashing of the chargesheet and the entire proceedings pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Court No.IV, Allahabad, inter- alia, on the ground that FIR has been lodged with mala fide intentions to harass the appellants and that no case was made out against the appellants as well as other family members.But the principal ground of challenge to the FIR was that the incident although was alleged to have taken place at Faridabad and the investigation should have been done there only, the complainant with mala fide intention in connivance with the father of the complainant, got the investigating officer to record the statements by visiting Ghaziabad which was beyond his territorial jurisdiction and cannot be construed as legal and proper investigation.It was also alleged that the father of the complainant got the arrest warrant issued through George Town Police Station, Allahabad, in spite of the cause of action having arisen at Allahabad.This appeal has been preferred by Kumari Geeta Mehrotra i.e. the sister of the complainant’s husband and Ramji Mehrotra i.e. the elder brother of the complainant’s husband assailing the order of the High Court and it was submitted that the Hon’ble High Court ought to have appreciated that the complainant who had already obtained an ex-parte decree of divorce, is pursuing the present case through her father with the sole purpose to unnecessarily harass the appellants to extract money from them as all efforts of mediation had failed.The relevant documents/parcha diary for deciding the territorial jurisdiction had been overlooked as the FIR has been lodged at Allahabad although the cause of action of the entire incident is alleged to have taken place at Faridabad (Haryana).It was, therefore, submitted that the investigating authorities of the Allahabad have traversed beyond the territorial limits which is clearly an abuse of the process of law and the High Court has failed to exercise its inherent powers under Section 482 Cr.P.C. in the facts and circumstances of this case and allowed the proceedings to go on before the trial court although it had no jurisdiction to adjudicate the same.","['Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

(BAIL) 110/2011 AND CRL.M.A. 900/2011 Page 1 that blood was actually coming out from under the door of a room which seemed to be locked but in fact the lock (of which) was simply hanging.Upon opening the door, a dead body was found lying on the floor.It bore injury marks on the head and there was bleeding from the right ear.PW-13 informed SI Suresh Chand, (PW-5) about recovery of the body.SHO C.K. Sharma (PW-19) reached the spot, inspected the scene of occurrence and collected exhibits from the spot.He seized a piece of blood stained floor in a plastic box, earth control, one blood stained blue coloured slippers, two empty glasses and half a bottle of liquor, a mosquito net with 4 bamboos, a blood stained pajama, a blood stained blanket, a jute bag, a dori and pillow lying on the cot and a blood stained kurta from the rehri outside the room.The dead body was identified by the sons of the deceased, Satbir i.e (PW-11), and Udaivir (PW-12).The dead body of Raghubir was sent for post mortem to AIIMS Hospital.The post mortem was conducted on 28.09.2005 by Dr. Arvind Kumar (PW-6); the report is at Ex. PW-12/A. On 29.09.2005, PW-11 went to P.S. Mehrauli and recorded a statement to the effect that he suspected accused Rahisa (a resident of the room adjoining Raghubir's room), for the murder of his father.On 29.09.2005, PW-19 along with other police officials went to accused's residence and arrested him; the arrest memo is at Ex.PW-15/A. The accused made a disclosure statement, pointed out the spot of occurrence, and got an iron rod allegedly used for the commission of the offence recovered (Ex.PW-15/C, Ex.The prosecution further urged that Blood group ""A"" was present on the blood stained pajamas, woolen blanket, pillow, dari and kurta.A. 90/2011, Crl.PW-5 reached the spot and made inquires which revealed that the dead body was of Raghubir, PW- 1's tenant.PW-5 sent a Rukka with Constable Anil, on the basis of which FIR No. 573/05 was registered with P.S. Mehrauli.PW-15/D & Ex.PW-15/E).After completion of the investigation, a charge sheet was filed in the Court and the case was committed for trial to the Sessions Court.The accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.The Trial Court after hearing the matter and going through the evidence held the accused guilty under Section 302 IPC.The Trial Court in convicting the appellant relied on:The Trial Court considered the last seen evidence given by PW-11 along with the evidence about the time of death of deceased.PW-11 had last seen the appellant and the deceased on 25.09.2005 at about 8:00 PM and then again saw appellant near the room of the deceased with an iron rod at about 12:00 AM.As per the post mortem report, time since death was about 3-4 days.The Trial Court held that if the post mortem report is read along with the statement of PW-11, then it can be safely inferred that the deceased had died sometime on 25.09.2005, the day on which PW-11 had seen the accused and deceased together at 8:00 PM and later had found accused present near the room of the deceased at about 12:00 AM.The Trial Court observed that the conduct of a person is an important piece of evidence as the guilt of the person and the state of his mind is often reflected by his conduct.PW-11 had deposed that when he saw the accused near the room of the deceased, the accused was nervous and on seeing him (PW-11) he jumped over the boundary wall on the left side into another plot.Therefore it was observed that the conduct of accused was a reflection of his state of mind and hence is a supporting evidence in favour of the prosecution.The Trial Court has also relied on the recovery of the iron rod (weapon of offence) for the purpose of conviction of appellant.It was observed that by way of accused's disclosure statement Ex.PW-15/C, an iron pipe/rod was recovered with blood stains on it Ex.PW-1/E. The blood stains on the iron rod were of blood group ""A"" same as that of deceased and hence it connected the iron rod to the commission of offence.It was further observed that recovery of iron rod cannot be doubted simply because there was no public witness engaged during the recovery.Ms. Charu Verma, learned amicus appointed by the court to appear in the case, since the accused expressed his inability, due to financial constraints, to engage a lawyer, urged that the impugned judgment cannot be sustained.It was submitted that the Trial Court committed several errors in appreciating the prosecution, which if seen in their proper perspective, cannot lead to the appellant's conviction.It was urged that the mainstay of the prosecution story was the testimony of PW-11, who claimed to have ""last seen"" the deceased in the company of the appellant.It was submitted that the entire case being premised on circumstantial evidence, the prosecution was under a duty to prove each circumstance beyond reasonable doubt, with the further obligation to ensure that all the links in the chain were CRL.A. 90/2011, CRL.M. (BAIL) 110/2011 AND CRL.M.A. 900/2011 Page 3 likewise proved, and also show to the court that the conclusion could point only to the hypothesis of the accused's guilt, ruling out every possibility of his innocence.It was submitted that PW-11 is an untrustworthy witness, who in his earlier statement on 28.09.2005, while identifying his father, clearly stated that he did not suspect anyone for the murder.Yet, he stated a full day later that on 25.09.2005, at about 8:00 PM while on a visit to his father (with whom he and other members of the family were not in good terms, and who used to stay away from his family) he saw a quarrel between the deceased and appellant, when they were abusing each other.He claims to have intervened and calmed his father and thereafter gone home.He informed his mother about the quarrel; she asked him to return to the deceased's premises.He reached the deceased's room at about 12:00 AM (midnight) and saw that the door was locked.He says that while entering the plot (where his father's room was located), he saw accused Rahisa coming from the side of his father's room with a rod in his hand.He says that after seeing him (PW-11), the appellant jumped over a boundary wall and left.PW-11 observed that, the appellant was looking nervous.As the door of the deceased's room was locked, PW-11 returned home.He says that he inquired about his father on the next day and was told that the deceased had gone to attend some marriage.He says that on 27.09.2005, he came to know about the murder of his father from the police officials.It was submitted that this entire story was unbelievable, as it is plainly against normal human conduct.Had in fact PW-11's statement been true regarding 25.09.2005 then the first thing he would have done, on learning about his father's murder, or at least, on identifying his body, would have been to inform the police about the identity of the suspect, since there was hardly any time lag between the so called quarrel, and the discovery of death.PW-11's utter silence in that regard, and his disclosing these facts on 29.09.2005, falsifies the entire story, as it was the result of fabrication and afterthought.In that case, there was an irreconcilable conflict between the medical and ocular version, because the time of death indicated by the doctor was 3 days before the postmortem.However, PW-11's version showed the ""last seen"" part to be less than 3 days before the time indicated in the postmortem report.This, says the counsel, points to the improbability of the prosecution version.CRL.A. 90/2011, CRL. M. (BAIL) 110/2011 AND CRL.The prosecution had urged that the accused had rented a cycle rickshaw from the deceased and as he (accused) was unable to pay the rent, the deceased had scolded and abused him.As the accused felt insulted, he killed the deceased.The prosecution failed to prove this motive as the IO was unable to obtain sufficient evidence as to there being strained relations between accused and deceased for non-payment of rent.It was submitted that the IO did not record the statement of any witness in support of the allegation that the accused had in fact rented a cycle rickshaw from deceased and was having trouble paying the rent.On the contrary, submitted the learned counsel, the deposition of PW- 11 falsified the entire story, since he testified that besides the rehri used by the deceased, he did not have any other side business.It was argued by the amicus that the finger prints on the two glasses and bottles, recovered from the deceased's house, were not taken.Similarly, the prosecution made no attempt to connect the blood stained kurta allegedly recovered from near the premises, with the crime.It was submitted that such recovery was highly suspect, because the location of such a kurta, in a public place, and its remaining there for more than 3 days, would have aroused suspicion.It was submitted that there are several other discrepancies and lacunae in the prosecution story, which should have led the Trial Court to acquit the appellant.Further, no attempt was made to record the testimony of any witness, since the room rented from PW- 1 by the deceased was adjacent to several other tenements.By the prosecution accounts, they were inhabited.Nothing prevented the prosecution from recording the statements of other tenants or occupants.Their depositions would have fortified the prosecution version, if true.It was next pointed out that the improbability of the appellant's arrest pursuant to PW- 11's statement is writ large on the record, because the said witness, according to the IO, is supposed to have disclosed at 7:00 AM on 29th September, 2005 about the involvement of the appellant.It was urged that no reason for such urgency, or the unusual manner in which the statement was recorded, has been indicated.Contrary to this fact, the appellant was in fact picked up from his house, and formally arrested later.The second aspect to this, it was urged, was the prosecution's failure to have the article tested for finger prints.CRL.A. 90/2011, CRL. M. (BAIL) 110/2011 AND CRL.M.A. 900/2011 Page 5The iron rod too was stained with ""A"" group blood.It was urged by the prosecution that since the blood on the seized articles matched that of the deceased, it connected the iron rod with the commission of the offence.Unless the appellant had special knowledge about the presence of the iron rod, he could not have, assisted in their discovery and being brought on record, as Ex.PW-15/E. It was also submitted that since the prosecution had established its initial burden, and proved the CRL.A. 90/2011, CRL.M. (BAIL) 110/2011 AND CRL.M.A. 900/2011 Page 6 involvement of the appellant, the onus of proving that he did not commit the crime, was upon the appellant; he did not do so.For these reasons, the Trial Court's judgment needs to be affirmed.The case of the prosecution is mostly based on the testimony of PW-11 Satbir, son of deceased.He deposed that his father (deceased) had rented a room and was staying on his own at Neb Sarai as he and his mother did not get along.He stated that on 25.09.2005, at about 8:00 PM he had gone to visit his father and on reaching there he saw a quarrel between the deceased and accused.They were abusing each other.He says that he intervened and calmed his father and took him inside the room and thereafter he (PW-11) went home.On reaching home he informed his mother about the quarrel that had taken place between the deceased and the accused.His mother asked him to go back to the deceased's premises.He reached the room of the deceased at about 12:00 AM (midnight) and saw that the door was locked.He says that when he was entering the plot where his father's room was located, he saw accused Rahisa coming from the side of his father's room and he was having a rod in his hand.He says that after seeing him (PW-11), accused jumped over a boundary wall and left.PW-11 observed that, accused was looking nervous.As the door of the deceased's room was locked, PW-11 returned home.He says that he inquired about his father on the next day and was told that the deceased had gone to attend some marriage.He says that on 27.09.2005, he came to know about the murder of his father from the police officials.He says that he later recollected the incident of 25.09.2005 and made a statement to IO.While it is true that this witness did identify the deceased's body, at the same time, he mentioned that the name of the murderer or suspected murderer was unknown.M. (BAIL) 110/2011 AND CRL.The post mortem was conducted on 28.09.2005 at about 2:55 PM.The iron rod was also having blood stains of ""A"" group.The prosecution failed to prove the motive as the IO was not able to obtain sufficient evidence as to there being strained relations between accused and deceased for nonpayment of rent.",['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

HC Ramat Subba came to his residence and informed him that the petitioner had fired a shot at him and that Assistant Commandant Anil Kamboj was calling him W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 19 of 34 to his residence.On reaching the residence of Anil Kamboj, he along with Anil Kamboj and HC Ramat Subba left for STC Ranidanga.When they reached near STC they met the petitioner.Anil Kamboj made enquiry from the petitioner about the complaint against him by HC Ramat Subba whereupon the petitioner rudely replied that nothing happened.When Anil Kamboj told the petitioner that he had learnt that he has fired a shot from his revolver the petitioner again rudely replied that he can do whatever he wants from his revolver.Thereafter Anil Kamboj inspected the revolver of the petitioner.At about 10.00 P.M. he and Anil Kamboj met Subedar Amrik Singh who informed them that today i.e. December 06, 1981 he was beaten by the petitioner on two occasions.Thereafter he and Anil Kamboj went to the tent where the petitioner was lying on a cot and Anil Kamboj repeatedly ordered him to come out of the tent but the petitioner flatly refused to obey his orders.Thereafter they left the tent for Kadamtala.After sometime he returned to tent and shifted the belongings of the petitioner from the tent to a nearby canteen as per the instructions of Anil Kamboj.After sometime it was learnt that the petitioner has run away.He started to look for the petitioner and managed to apprehend him with the help of Subedar U.P.Rai.Even after being apprehended the petitioner was creating ruckus by shouting at the top of his voice.When Anil Kamboj admonished him for creating a nuisance the petitioner rudely asked him to shut up and made aggressive gestures towards him.On the next day i.e. December 07, 1981 he participated in the seizure of the personal belongings of the petitioner.Amongst other articles the personal articles of the petitioner included live/fired ammunitions.The petitioner submitted an application under Rule 92 of the BSF Rules, 1969 to the GFSC stating that prosecution has failed to establish a prima-facie case for him to answer anything and thus he should not be called upon to make his defence for the charges framed against him.In response to the aforesaid application submitted by the petitioner the prosecution submitted a reply, the relevant portion whereof reads as under:-The allegation of the Defence Counsel that Shri Anil Kamboj, PW-10 did not investigated about the incident nor did he enquired from the accused after 6 DEC 81 is baseless and unfounded.In fact he had investigated about the incident on 7 DEC 81 from concerned persons including the accused and had submitted the report to the Commandant, STC regarding the happenings.The investigation into the incident of the night of 6 DEC 81 revealed that the accused had indulged in indiscipline and therefore, the matter was referred to the higher Hqrs by the Commandant, STC.Since the accused was in the processes of attachment to 87 Bn BSF no action could be initiated as per Rule 44 of BSF Rules nor was he tried/punished for the aforesaid offences.Briefly noted, the petitioner stated that in the month of December, 1981 he was undergoing Junior Leader's Course at STC Ranidanga.On December 06, 1981 he took out his revolver .38 calibre from Kote to clean the same.On said day i.e. December 06 some officers from his Battalion i.e. 84 Battalion had come to Kadamtala.Thereafter he went to Kadamtala and met the officers from his Battalion who allowed him to accompany them to 84 Battalion.He sat down with said officers and shared three-four bottles of rum with them.Sometime thereafter he and the officers of his Battalion went to the tent where he was staying at STC Ranidanga.At that time Inspector Amrik Singh was present in the tent but he did not tell him anything about his absence from roll call.In the instant case, the petitioner was not handed over the copy of Abstract of Evidence W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 26 of 34 before he was called upon to make his statement at the time of preparation of Record of Evidence, which greatly prejudiced the petitioner while making his statement in the Record of Evidence.V Rule 60(iii) of the BSF Rules, 1969 disqualifies a person who had taken part in the investigation of the case from serving on the Court.On December 06, 1981, the petitioner was absent from the roll call of persons attending Junior Leader's Course held at 05.30 P.M. Being Senior Course Student, Subedar Amrik Singh reported the absence of the petitioner from roll call to HC Tanu Babu, Senior Course Instructor.At about 08.00 P.M. HC Rahmat Subba PW-1, learnt that petitioner is sitting in a washer man's shop and carrying a revolver in his hand whereupon HC Rahmat Subba went to the said shop.On reaching there, he saw that the petitioner was sitting in a room adjacent to said shop with a revolver in his hand.The petitioner was under the influence of liquor at that time.Thereafter the petitioner and HC Rahmat Subba started proceeding towards the tent at STC premises.On their way, the petitioner got angry with HC Rahmat Subba for his asking him to hand over his revolver to him.The petitioner assaulted HC Rahmat Subba and few seconds thereafter fired a shot at HC Rahmat Subba.At that stage Subedar Amrik Singh, SI Harbans Singh and SI Ajit Lal, who have deposed to have heard the sound of firing of a shot intervened in the incident.They all saw the petitioner enter the tent W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 31 of 34 with a revolver in his hand.The petitioner gives his revolver to Subedar Amrik Singh who deposits the same in Kote.On learning that Subedar Amrik Singh has deposited his revolver in Kote the petitioner got angry and assaulted Subedar Amrik Singh, which assault was witnessed by SI Harbans Singh and SI Ajit Lal.After sometime the petitioner again assaulted Subedar Amrik Singh in the presence of SI Harbans Lal and SI Ajit Lal.Subedar Amrik Singh then complained to Assistant Commandant Anil Kamboj.The petitioner misbehaved with Assistant Commandant Anil Kamboj.The belongings of the petitioner were removed from the tent.The petitioner tried to flee from STC premises but was apprehended.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 1 of 34On July 08, 1982 Inspector General, BSF, West Bengal directed that a General Security Force Court (hereinafter referred to as the 'GFSC') be convened to conduct a trial in respect of the charges framed against the petitioner.He remained in STC Ranidanga for few minutes and thereafter left for his house.Being relevant, we note following portion of the cross-examination of the witness:-W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 3 of 34""I did not ask or shout for any help, at the time when I was pushed as well as abused by the accused...The Defence Counsel confronts the witness with the portion of his statements at page 8 of the manuscript copy of the Record of Evidence.The same is side lined with red ink.""after about 20 second or so I heard the sound of a fire behind me as though from a Sten or a pistol""Whereas the witness to-day before the Court, has said that he heard the sound of a shot having been fired from a revolver.He further adds that whatever he had stated on 22nd W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 4 of 34 December, 1981 before the Recording Officer as well as now before this Court, are absolutely correct.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 4 of 34To-day I used the word revolver since I had seen the accused in possession of the same, on the night of 6th December, 1981... Questioned by the Court I did see the accused firing at me, while I was running.Being relevant, we note following portion of the cross-examination of the witness:-Soon thereafter he saw the belongings of petitioner being removed from the tent.After sometime he saw the petitioner going out of the tent.Being W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 10 of 34 relevant, it would be relevant to note the following portion of the cross- examination of the witness:-W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 9 of 34W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 10 of 34I had seen the accused beating Subedar Amrik Singh outside the tent from a distance of 10 yds or so.I did not hear Subedar Amrik Singh raising any hue and cry, at the time when he was being beaten, by the accused outside the tent.Subedar Amrik Singh was under such a pressure by the accused that he was not in a position to make any hue and cry.Excepting one bruise on the forehead, over the left eye, I cannot say as to whether Subedar Amrik Singh sustained any other injuries, due to the beating, given by the accused.I did not see the accused giving blows to the Subedar.I only saw him pulling him down with force.I had seen the accused mounting on Subedar Singh inside the tent for about ten minutes.It is wrong to say that Subedar Amrik Singh had taken the revolver from the accused without his permission.As a matter of fact the accused had handed over the said revolver to the said subedar.It is incorrect to suggest that since the accused did not hand over the revolver to Subedar, Subedar Amrik Singh got annoyed over him and being a senior course student he beat the accused, thereby causing injuries on his person. ....The Defence Counsel confronts the witness with the portion of his statement at page 20 of the manuscript copy which reads as under:-""Inspector Amrik Singh came to the tent and took the revolver from SI Gurbachan Singh on the pretext that he would be cleaning.SI Gurbachan Singh got busied in his other works and Inspector Amrik Singh took the opportunity to go out of the W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 11 of 34 tent with the revolver which I later learnt he had given to deposit.""W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 11 of 34The said portion has been side lined in red ink in the manuscript copy of R.O.E.Whereas to-day before this Court, the witness has stated that the accused had handed over the revolver to Subedar Amrik Singh.The witness explains that whatever he has stated to-day is correct.He does not know as to how the aforesaid portion, conveys the meaning other than what he has stated today.When he was lying on his cot he heard the petitioner hurling abuses at Subedar Amrik Singh.The petitioner was accusing Subedar Amrik Singh of having deposited his revolver in Kote with a view to falsely implicate him in a case.Subedar Amrik Singh was denying aforesaid accusation and informing the petitioner that it was HC Ramat Subba who had lodged a complaint against him for having fired a shot at him and beating him.Thereafter he saw the petitioner push Subedar Amrik Singh to the ground and was mounting on him.With the help of SI Ajit Singh he rescued Subedar Amrik Singh from the clutches of the petitioner.He advised Subedar Amrik Singh to go from the tent to avoid any further altercations whereupon Subedar Amrik Singh went out of the tent.The petitioner went to his cot and he could hear him i.e. the petitioner abusing Subedar Amrik Singh.At about 10.00 P.M. Assistant Commandant Anil Kamboj accompanied by Subedar U.P. Rai and some other officers came in the tent and repeatedly ordered the petitioner to get up and come outside the tent but he refused to obey his orders.After sometime Assistant Commandant Anil Kamboj left from there.Soon",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Chahar PW-12, deposed that in the month of December, 1981 he was detailed to prepare Record of Evidence in respect of the petitioner.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 20 of 34However, the provisions of BSF Rules 44 and 45 were complied with when the accused was attached with 87 Bn BSF for disciplinary purposes.Your Honour," the learned Defence Counsel instead of appreciating the attachment of the accused with 87 Bn BSF for fair play and justice had harped on delay in charge sheeting the accused which is bound to take place owing to procedural formalities."""" (Emphasis Supplied)The Court rejected the application under Rule 92 of the BSF Rules", 1969 submitted by the petitioner and proceeded to record the evidence of witnesses of defence.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 21 of 34After bidding goodbye to officers from his Battalion he went to Kote to deposit his revolver but Kote under officer was not present there.He went to the washer man's shop to collect his uniform and thereafter had dinner in the mess of STC.After having dinner he returned to his tent and started cleaning his revolver.Inspector Amrik Singh took his revolver from him by saying that he would clean and deposit it in the Kote and went out of the tent with his revolver.Ten fifteen minutes thereafter Inspector Amrik W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 22 of 34 Singh returned to the tent and informed him that he has not deposited his revolver in the Kote but handed over the same to HC Tanu Babu.He chided Inspector Amrik Singh for not having deposited his revolver in Kote and instead handing over the same HC Tanu Babu.He told Inspector Amrik Singh that in case HC Tanu Babu would commit any wrong act with his revolver he would be blamed for it as the revolver was licensed in his name.He asked Amrik Singh to go with him to HC Tanu Babu for collecting his revolver but he refused to do so and said that he has committed no mistake by handing his revolver to HC Tanu Babu.When he i.e. petitioner kept insisting that he should go with him to HC Tanu Babu Amrik Singh pushed him and said that he should go to sleep and he has done no mistake in handing his revolver to HC Tanu Babu.In the meantime SI Harbans Singh and SI Ajit Kumar came there and three of them (Amrik Singh, Harbans Singh and Ajit Kumar) started beating him.He received bruises on his face on account of being beaten by the said three persons.Amrik Singh, 4 SI Harbans Singh, SI Ajit Kumar, HC Ramat Subba, Assistant Commandant Anil Kamboj, HC B.B. Chhetri and Subedar U.P. Rai have falsely implicated in the present case.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 22 of 34After considering the evidence led by the prosecution and written statement submitted by the petitioner, the opening and closing address of the prosecutor and the defending officer and summing up of the law officer, vide order dated August 9, 1982 the GFSC held that the petitioner is guilty of second, third and fourth charges framed against him.With respect to first charge, the GFSC held that the petitioner is not guilty of offence of attempt to commit murder punishable under Section 307 IPC but guilty of offence of attempt to commit culpable homicide punishable W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 23 of 34 under Section 308 IPC.The GFSC awarded a sentence of dismissal from service to the petitioner.Vide order dated April 5, 1983 the High Court dismissed aforesaid petition on the ground that he has not exhausted alternative remedy available to him under Section 117(2) of the BSF Act, 1968 to assail the legality of finding and sentence of GFSC before invoking the jurisdiction of High Court under Article 226 of Constitution of India.However, liberty was granted to the petitioner to file petition under Section 117(2) of the BSF Act, 1968 to the confirming authority.Aggrieved by the aforesaid, the petitioner has filed the present petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.Vide order dated July 16, 1992 this Court dismissed the aforesaid petition on the ground that on an earlier occasion the petitioner had approached the High Court of Calcutta to assail the finding and sentence of the GFSC.The petitioner challenged the order dated July 16, 1992 passed by this Court by way of filing a Special Leave Petition before the Supreme Court.Vide order dated August 3, 1993 the Supreme Court set aside the order dated July 16, 1992 passed by this Court and directed this Court to dispose of the matter on merits.On January 02,2014, arguments were heard in the matter and same was reserved for judgment.Written submissions filed by the petitioner were taken on record.The submissions advanced by the petitioner can be broadly categorized into following two heads:-Such being the position, the Commandant of STC Ranidanga had the disciplinary powers of Commandant of petitioner on the date of incident(s) i.e. December 06, 1981 inasmuch as the petitioner was undergoing a course at STC Ranidanga on said day.Further, Rule 45 prescribes that a charge leveled against an accused shall be heard by his Commandant.In the instant case, S.S.Chahar who prepared the Record of Evidence in case of petitioner served as prosecutor in the GSFC.Under the second head (perversity of the finding(s) of the GFSC), following submissions were advanced by the petitioner:-Furthermore, HC Rahmat Subba PW-1, deposed that he did not raise any alarm or hue or cry when he was being beaten by the petitioner or when the petitioner fired a shot at him.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 27 of 34The conduct of HC Rahmat Subba of remaining silent at the time of the incident and not making a cry for help is most unnatural and raises a big question mark on the veracity of said witness.Lastly, various contradictions were pointed out in the deposition of HC Rahmat Subba PW-1, in order to demonstrate that HC Rahmat Subba PW-1, is not a reliable witness.(ii) The testimony of Doctor Md.(iii) SI Ajit Kumar PW-6, admitted in his statement before the GFSC that he had stated before the Recording Officer that Subedar Amrik Singh had taken the revolver of the petitioner from him on the pretext of cleaning the same.It was argued that aforesaid statement made by Ajit Kumar before the Recording Officer establishes the defence of the petitioner that Subedar Amrik Singh had taken the revolver from the petitioner on the pretext of cleaning and depositing the same in Kote.Instead of depositing it in Kote Subedar Amrik Singh handed over the revolver of the petitioner to HC Tanu Babu.When petitioner chided Subedar Amrik Singh for handing over his revolver to HC Tanu Babu he fought with him.(iv) The alleged manhandling of Subedar Amrik Singh by the petitioner happened in the tent pitched in STC Ranidanga where the officers undergoing Junior Leader's Course were staying.Meaning thereby, many W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 28 of 34 other students/officers must have been present in the tent when the petitioner allegedly manhandled the petitioner.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 31 of 34The witnesses of the prosecution have been extensively cross- examined by the petitioner but nothing tangible could be extracted therefrom.The witnesses have withstood the test of cross-examination and corroborated each other in material particulars.As per the petitioner, save and except Deputy Commandant S.S.Chehar PW-11, the Recording Officer, all other ten witnesses of the prosecution are lying and have colluded with each other to falsely implicate the petitioner.It is difficult to believe that as many as ten persons have ganged up against the petitioner, particularly when except Subedar Amrik Singh the petitioner has not alleged animus against any other witness of the prosecution.Furthermore, the incident relating to manhandling of Subedar Amrik Singh by the petitioner happened in the tent where as many as 20 persons undergoing Junior Leader's Course were staying.Meaning thereby, many persons would have witnessed the happening of incident in question.But no one from the tent came out in favour of the petitioner.Two persons from the tent viz. SI Harbans Singh and SI Ajit Lal spoke in favor of W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 32 of 34 Subedar Amrik Singh.This shows that in all probability it is Subedar Amrik Singh who was speaking the truth.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 32 of 34Furthermore, a chink has appeared in the defence taken by the petitioner.Whereas the petitioner has stated in the written statement submitted by him to GSFC that he did not attend evening roll-call on December 06, 1981 as he had gone to Kadamtala to meet the officers from his Battalion he has cross-examined SI Harbans Singh PW-7 to the effect that he did not attend evening roll-call on December 06, 1981 as he was unwell.The submissions advanced by the petitioner under second head requires this court to re-evaluate the evidence led by the prosecution.In view of facts that the witnesses of prosecution has withstood the test of cross-examination and corroborated each other in material particulars; the petitioner has not led any evidence in defence despite the fact that incident relating to manhandling of Subedar Amrik Singh had happened in presence of many persons and a chink has appeared in the defence of the petitioner; the finding(s) of the GFSC cannot be faulted.Considering the seriousness of the charges proved against the petitioner, the GFSC was justified in awarding the sentence of dismissal from service to the petitioner.W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 33 of 34In view of above discussion, the present petition is hereby dismissed but without any orders as to costs.(PRADEEP NANDRAJOG) JUDGE (JAYANT NATH) JUDGE JANUARY 23," 2014 mamta W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 34 of 34W.P.(C) No.3838/1999 Page 34 of 34""","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 308 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

On 19.10.2019, the Petitioner No.1 had filed an Application under Section 294 of Cr.P.C. before the learned CBI Court seeking to consideration of certain documents at the stage of charge which are necessary for determining the preliminary question of jurisdiction of the learned CBI Court.However, the learned CBI Court vide its order 12.3.2020 directed the IO/HIO to comply with the Order dated 17.02.2020 of this Court and supply the documents to the Petitioners/Accused Persons within two weeks.M.C.2348/2020 Page 10 of 30u.

In light of denial of the public documents by the Respondent CBI and the subsequent discovery of additional public documents, the Petitioners filed an Application dated 09.11.2020 (registered as IANo.7/2020) (annexed as Annexure P21) before the learned CBI Court seeking exercise of its powers under Section 91 Cr.P.C. to summon the relevant officials for the production of the certain documents necessary for determining the preliminary question of jurisdiction of the learned CBI Court to entertain the present case.The said Application sought production of the following documents:However, the learned CBI Court vide its Order dated 11.11.2020 in IA No. 7/2020 dismissed the said Application of the Petitioners and directed them to positively address arguments on charge on the next date of hearing.Accordingly, present petition deserves to be allowed.M.C.2348/2020 Page 14 of 30M.C.2348/2020 Page 15 of 30The respondent CBI has filed reply to the present petition whereby submitted that the present petition is filed assailing the order dated 11.11.2020 of the ld.CBI Court whereby the application under section 91 of the Cr.P.C. for summoning of documents came to be dismissed with a finding that the said application was made with a view to delay the framing of charge.The court further held that most of the documents that were sought to be summoned were already on record and that documents which would constitute the defence of the accused should not be seen at the stage of charge.The gist of the prosecution case is that on the basis of a complaint filed by one Umesh Chandra on 30.07.2014, an FIR came to be filed on 08.03.2016 against the petitioners and other accused persons.As per the judgement in order for a document to be summoned the following criteria have to be satisfied:M.C.2348/2020 Page 22 of 30Thus in light of the above, it can be seen that the section 91, petition is an obvious attempt on the part of the petitioner to delay the proceedings without any basis and thereby delay justice being served.The objection of the CBI is not an issue of prejudice to the petitioner but rather a question of stage at which the purported defence of the accused can be raised and section 91 has been interpreted consistently not on the test of prejudice but only on the test of right.Accordingly, the present petition deserves to be dismissed.","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 409 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 173 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 467 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Shortly stated, the prosecution case runs as under :The informant Siddeshwar Singh (PW-1) is a resident of Payagpur, district Bahraich.Sometimes before the incident, two incidents of beating took place inside Chitrashala Cinema in district Bahraich.In one of them, which took place in January/February, 1978, at 3-4 p.m., Chhutkan alias Shailesh Kumar, appellant Ramesh and unknown associates of theirs assaulted some persons within the premises of Chitrasala Cinema.In connection with the incident, the police arrested accused Chhutkan.At that time, deceased Gayasuddin and Balaram Singh were present.When the police was arresting Chhuktan, he gave a threat that after being released on bail, he would kill Gayasuddin and Balaram Singh.On the date and time of the incident i.e. on 12-6-1978, at 3.00 a.m.. the informant was employed as an Assistant Manager in Chitrashala Talkies, district Bahraich.At the said time, appellant Ramesh Kumar along with co-accused Chhutkan alias Shailesh and Munnan, all armed with knives, with a view to kill Balaram Singh, Manager of Chitrashala Talkies and Gayasuddin entered inside the quarter of the latter.At that time, Balarm Singh was not there.They started assaulting Gayasuddin with knives.Hearing the cries, the informant, Om Prakash, Jitendra Singh, Arun Kumar Singh (P.W. 2) and Nizam P.W. 3 who were sleeping in the premises of Chitrashala talkies came.Thereupon, the appellant and others also belaboured them with knives.The appellant, after being given some beating, was apprehended on the spot with a knife, while Chhutkan alias Shailendra and Munnan ran away.This incident was seen by the informant and others in electric light.Thereafter, the informant sent Om Prakash and Gayasuddin (both of them were precariously injured) along with Jitendra Singh, Nizam and Arun Kumar, who were also injured, through Rajendra Kumar to District Hospital, Bahraich and he along with Hirdai Ram, Arjun Singh and the appellant, along with the knife, which he had seized from the appellant, proceeded to police station Kotwali-Nagar, district Bahraich to lodge the FIR.Ye Sab Log Chitrashala Cinema Ke Nazdeek Ke Hi Rehne Wale Hai.Is Marpeet Mein Ham Logon Ne Milkar Ramesh Ko Pakad Liya Hai.""In English, it would read thus :--""Om Prakash, S/o Ram Badan Singh, R/o Chitrashala Cinema, Bahraich stated on oath that at about 3,00 a.m., the previous night, when he was sleeping outside the cinema hall, three dacoits came and started assaulting them with knives.They said that handover whatever money you have otherwise you would be killed.I have recognized all three of them and they are Chhutkan, Munnan and Ramesh.I have no enmity with them.They had only come to loot cash.They reside in the vicinity of Chitrashala Talkies.from umbilicus.Pus seen.""On internal examination, he found peritoneum stitched.In the opinion of Dr. Ahmad, the deceased died on account of septicemia as a result of the wound.The investigation was conducted in the usual manner by S. I. Laik Ahmad (P.W. 7) of police station Kotwali-Nagar, Bahraich.His evidence shows that:--The FIR was lodged in his presence.He immediately took over the investigation.Thereafter he recorded the statement of the informant and inspected the knife, which had been used by the appellant Ramesh in the incident.JUDGMENT Vishnu Sahai, J.1.Though this appeal, appellant Ramesh challenges the judgment and order dated 23-7-1980 passed by the I-Additional Sessions Judge, Bahraich in Sessions Trial No. 128 of 1978, whereby he has been convicted and sentenced in the manner stated hereinafter :--(i) under Section 302/34, IPC to imprisonment for life; and(ii) under Section 324/34, IPC to imprisonment for two year's R. I.The sentences of the appellant on both the counts were ordered to run concurrently.The evidence of Head Constable Gaya Prasad Tripathi (P.W. 10) shows that on 12-6-1978, at 4.30 a.m. Sidheshwar Singh came to police station Kotwali-Nagar and lodged his written FIR.A perusal of the chik FIR shows that on the basis of the FIR, a case under Section 352/307, IPC was registered against the appellant, Chhutkan and Munnan.The evidence of Head Constable Gaya Prasad Tripathi shows that the informant had brought along with him appellant Ramesh and a blood stained knife, which he had used in the incident.His evidence further shows that he seized the knife under, a recovery memo and arrested the appellant Ramesh.The injuries of Om Prakash Singh, Gayasuddin, Jitendra Singh, Arun Kumar Singh and Nizam were medically examined on 12-6-1978 at 4.15 a.m., 4.30 a.m., 4.45 a.m., 5.00 a.m. and 5.15 a.m. respectively by Dr. V. K. Chopra (P.W. 9), at District Hospital, Bahraich, who found on their person the injuries enumerated hereinafter :--Om Prakash Singh :-- One incised wound;Gayasuddin :-- three incised wounds;Jitendra Singh :-- two incised wounds;Arun Kumar:-- One incised wound; and Nizam :-- two contusions and three incised wounds.It is pertinent to mention that since the condition of Om Prakash and Gayasuddin was critical, it was decided to have their dying declaration recorded.The evidence of Dr. R. K. Srivastava (P.W.13) shows that on 12-6-1978, he was posted as Medical Officer, at District Hospital Bahraich.On the said date, the Magistrate recorded the dying declarations of Gayasuddin and Om Prakash, at 7.00 a.m. and 7.27 a.m. respectively in his presence.His evidence shows that prior to the declarations being recorded, he examined them and certified that they were mentally fit to make declaration.It is pertinent to mention that Ext. ka-27 is the certificate of fitness in relation to Gayasuddin and Ext. ka-28 is that in relation to Om Prakash.Since the said declarations are crucial pieces of evidence, we propose extracting them in entirety.The dying declaration of Gayasuddin reads thus :--"".... .Mein Ki Gayasuddin Putra Jalaluddin Aayu 33 Varsh Nivashi Chitrashala Cinema Bahraich Bahlak Bayan Kiya Ki Teen Dakait Dinank 11-6-1978 Ki Raat Ko Teen Baje Sinema Ke Andar Dakatti Ke Maksad Se Aaye Aur Ham Logon Par Hamla Kiya Aur Chaku Se Jagha Vah Jagha Mara.Ye Log Sinema Ghar Mein Daka Dalne Aaye The.In English, it would read thus :--""I, Gayasuddin, S/o Jalaluddin, aged 35 years, resident of Chitrashala Cinema, Bahraich state on oath that three dacoits on 11-6-1978, at 3.00 a.m., entered into the cinema with a view to commit dacoity and attacked us with knives on different parts of body.Out of them, Ramesh was caught and I can recognize him but I cannot recognize the other two.Ramesh inflicted, a number of knife blows on me.There was no enmity between me and Ramesh prior to the incident.""7-A.

The autopsy on the corpse of the deceased Gyasuddin and Om Prakash was conducted on 15-6-1978 at 4.00 P. M. by Dr. Nirankar Singh (P.W. 4) and Dr. Z. U. Ahmad (P.W. 5) respectively.On the person of Gyasuddin, Dr. Nirankar Singh found the following injuries :--(i) Incised wound (stitched) 3 cm.x 1/2 cm.x muscle deep placed transversely over sic chest upper part and shoulder;(ii) Incised wound (stitched) 3 cm.x 1/2 cm.x skin deep front part of right shoulder just above injury No. 1 obliquely placed; and(iii) Incised punctured wound (stitched) 2 cm.x 1 cm.x chest cavity deep front of chest sic.5 cm.below left nipple placed transversely at 9th costal space.In the opinion of Dr. Singh, the deceased died as a result of injury to lung.On the person of Om Prakash Dr. Ahmad found the ante-mortem injuries enumerated hereinafter :""One operated gaping septic wound with visible stitch marks 10 cm.x 6 cm.x cavity deep on both side of flank 18 cm.from axxila and 13 cm.He recorded the statement of appellant Ramesh at 8.30 a.m. He reached District Hospital Bahraich, where he recorded the statements of Gayasuddin, Om Prakash, Jitendra Singh, Nizam and Arun Kumar, At 11.00 a.m. he reached the place of incident, where he recorded the statement of Hirday Ram alias Motu and prepared the site plan on the pointing out of the informant and others.He seized from the place of incident plain and blood stained earth in separate containers under a recovery memo.He did some other investigation also, but since in our view a reference, to it is not necessary for disposal of this appeal, we are not adverting to it.On 8-7-1978, he submitted the charge-sheet against the appellant Ramesh and Chhutkan.The case was committed to the Court of Session in the usual manner, where the appellant and co-accused Chhutkan were charged for offences punishable under Section 302/34, IPC and 324/34, IPC, to which charges they pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.During the trial, in all, the prosecution examined 14 witnesses.Out of them, three, namely Sidheshwar Singh, Arun Kumar and Nizam P. Ws. 1, 2 and 3 respectively were examined as eye-witnesses.In defence three witnesses, namely, Dr. S. Prasad, Dr. S. K. Srivastava and Ratnakar Prasad D. Ws. 1, 2 and 3 respectively were examined; the first who was posted as Superintendent, District Hospital, Bahraich to prove the injuries of the appellant; the second to prove that he had admitted the appellant in the Surgical Ward of District Hospital Bahraich; and the third to prove that the appellant was not arrested in the manner furnished by the prosecution but at about 4.00 a.m., on the date of the incident, two constables took him from the shop of Bindu Kumar, where he was lying down.It is pertinent to mention that Chhutkan died during the pendency of the appeal and, therefore, his appeal was ordered to abate in terms of Section 394, Cr. P. C.We have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the entire record and are constrained to observe that we do not find any merit in this appeal.In the instant case, to fix the involvement of the appellant in the crime there is not only the testimony of three eye-witnesses, two out of whom, namely, Arun Kumar (P. W. 2) and Nizam (P.W. 3) are injured witnesses but also there is evidence under Section 32 of the Indian Evidence Act in the form of dying declarations of Gayasuddin and Om Prakash.In our judgment, the evidence of both these categories inspires confidence.We, now propose furnishing our reasons for reaching the aforesaid conclusion.We would first like to begin with the ocular account furnished by Sidheshwar (P.W. 1), Arun Kumar (P.W. 2) and Nizam (P.W. 3).Their evidence shows :-- On the date and time of the incident i.e. 12-6-1978, at about 3.00 a.m., they were sleeping in the premises of Chitrashala Talkies in District Bahraich.At that time, the appellant, co-accused Chhutkan and co-accused Munnan, armed with knives came.They entered inside the quarter of the deceased Gyasuddin and started assaulting him.Hearing the cries, they along with Jitendra Singh and Om Prakash, who were also sleeping in the premises of Chitrashala Talkies, rushed to the place of the incident, whereupon, two out of them, namely, Arun Kumar and Nizam as also Om Prakash and Jitendra Singh were assaulted by the appellant, co-accused Chhutkan and co-accused Munnan with knives.After precariously injuring, Gayasuddin and Om Prakash and injuring three others, namely, Arun Kumar, Nizam and Jitendra Singh, Chhutkan and Munnan ran away but appellant-Ramesh was apprehended on the spot along with a blood stained knife after being given some beating.This incident was seen in electric light.14-A. We have gone through the statement of the aforesaid three eye-witnesses and make no bones in observing that we find their evidence to be credible.In the first place, they have explained their presence at the place of the incident.Sidheshwar Singh has stated that at the time of the incident, he was employed as Assistant Manager in Chitrashala Cinema, Bahraich and was sleeping in the premises of the said Cinema and Arun Kumar and Nizam have also stated that at the time of the incident they were sleeping in the premises of the said Cinema.Secondly, the manner of assault furnished by them is corroborated by the medical evidence.They stated that the appellant and the other two co-accused persons belaboured the victims with knives and as we have earlier seen all the victims sustained incised wounds.It is significant to point out that although they were extensively examined but nothing could be extracted therefrom which could create even an iota of doubt in our mind regarding their presence at the place of incident.Assurance to the claim of the said eye-witnesses of having seen the incident is lent by the circumstance that Sidheshwar (P.W. 1) within one and a half hour of the incident taking place, lodged the FIR (We have seen that the incident took place on 11-6-1978, at 3.00 a.m. and Sidheshwar lodged the FIR same morning at 4.30 a.m.).It is pertinent to mention that there is a categorical mention in the F, I. R. that not only he (Sidheshwar) but also Arun Kumar and Nizam saw the incident and also therein all the essential features of the prosecution case including the spot of arrest of the appellant Ramesh have been mentioned.In our view, the ocular account of Sidheshwar, Arun Kumar and Nizam is both individually and cumulatively sufficient to sustain the conviction of the appellant.However, we are fortunate in this case in also having evidence under Section 32 of the Indian Evidence Act against the appellant.This evidence is in the form of dying declarations of Gayasuddin and Om Prakash, which we have extracted in entirety earlier.Their perusal makes it manifest that both of them have categorically stated that appellant Ramesh along with others assaulted them with knives and he was apprehended on the spot.It is pertinent to mention that the said dying declarations were recorded by Tehsildar Magistrate, Salig Ram Nigam (P.W. 14), who prior to recording them, got the certificate of fitness from Dr. R. K. Srivastava (P. W. 13), who found them in a mentally fit condition to give the declarations.It is also pertinent to mention that neither Dr. Srivastava nor the Tehsildar Magistrate had any animus of grudge against the appellant and in the absence of the same, the former would not have given a false certificate in terms that the deceased persons were fit to make the declarations and the latter would not have recorded them.17-A. For the said reasons, we feel that these dying declarations also inspire confidence and are both individually and cumulatively sufficient to fix the involvement of the appellant in the incident.We make no bones in observing that the evidence of D. W. 3 (Ratnakar Prasad Sharma) does not inspire any confidence.His evidence shows that :-- His house is situated to the south of Chitrashala Talkies.at about 2-2.30 a.m., he heard cries coming from Chitrashala Talkies in terms chor-chor (thief thief).Fifteen to twenty minutes later, he went inside the premises of the talkies and found Gayasuddin, Om Prakash, Jitendra, Nizam and one other whose name he did not remember in an injured condition.A rickshaw came, on which the said persons were taken to hospital.After some time, he returned home.At about 4.00 a.m. two constables came and took Ramesh (appellant), who was lying in front of Bindu's shop.We have gone through the evidence of Ratnakar Prasad Sharma and find him to be a untrustworthy witness.In his cross-examination, he admitted that he did not inform any officer that two constables had taken away Ramesh (appellant) in his presence.It appears that for the first time in the trial Court he has come out with this story.That apart, his cross-examination shows that while he was standing on the roof of his house, in torch light he saw the constables taking away Ramesh.In our judgment, It is extremely improbable that at about 4.00 a.m. instead of sleeping he would have been standing on his roof.For the said reasons, his evidence does not inspire any confidence.We would be failing in our fairness if before proceeding to the operative part of the judgment we do not advert to the two principal submissions canvassed by Mr. Prem Singh, learned counsel for the appellant.He firstly contended that appellant Ramesh was medically examined by Dr. S. Prasad (P. W. 1) at District Hospital, Bahraich on 1-7-1978 at 12.10 p.m. and was found to have suffered 17 injuries, which have not been explained by the prosecution.These injuries are :--(i) Soft scab 2 cm x 0.5 c.m.on the back top of the head;x 0.5 cm.on the outer surface right arm upper half;(iii) soft skin 1 cm.x 0.2 cm.on the right upper lip;(iv) Almost healed up incised wound 2 cm.x 1 cm.on the back and inner surface right forearm middle with bandage over it 2 meter dressing;(v) Depigmented area 4 cm.x 0.3 cm.on the back surface right forearm lower part;(vi) Depigmented area 4.5 cm.x 0.5 cm.on the back surface right forearm 4 cm.above the injury No. 5;(vii) Multiple depigmented area of various sizes on the back surface right wrist in an area of 4 cm.x 3 cm.;(viii) soft skin 1 cm.x 0.4 cm.on the back surface right hand surrounded by depigmented area of various sizes in an area of 3 cm.x 2 cm.;(ix) Almost healed up around 3 cm.x 1 cm.on the web in between the index finger and thumb left hand;(x) Two circular depigmented area of sizes 2 cm.x 2 cm.and 1 cm x 1 cm.on the back centre surface left elbow at a distance of 1.5 cm.from each other;(xi) Multiple contusion under surface of the left lower part elbow and left forearm and some swelling lower half of forearm tenderness over the swelling;(xii) Depigmented area of zigzag type and shape fine in no of varying size 1.5 cm.to 2.5 cm.over left side back below the scapula in an area of 15 cm.x 3 cm.;(xiii) Soft skin 1.5 cm.x 1 cm.on the right side back 3 cm.behind the post auxiliary fold at the same level;(xiv) Multiple fading contusions of various sizes on the over surface right thigh middle over aspect 8 cm.x 2 cm.(xv) Multiple fading contusions of various sizes on outer aspect right leg in an area of 5 cm.x 4 cm.;(xvi) Multiple fading contusions of various sizes on the outer and front aspect left thigh lower half in an area of 8 cm.x 2 cm; and (xvii) Diffusal swelling tenderness at the end of the index finger left hand.We have reflected over the submission of Mr. Prem Singh and are constrained to observe that we do not find any merit in it.We find that in the instant case the injuries suffered by the appellant have been explained by the prosecution.It is pertinent to mention that in his dying declaration, Om Prakash has categorically mentioned that appellant Ramesh was apprehended after some beating was given to him.We also find that the said injuries have been explained by Sidheshwar (P. W. 1) in his statement in the trial Court.During the course of his cross-examination (in paragraph-23) he stated that appellant had received injuries on his hands and legs, which were caused to him while he was being apprehended.It is pertinent to mention that in his examination-in-chief, Dr. S. Prasad (D. W. 1), who medically examined the injuries of the appellant on 1-7-1978, at 12.10 p.m., stated that they were about three weeks old.Since the incident took place on 12-6-1978, at about 3.00 a.m., It appears that these injuries were caused to the appellant-Ramesh during the course of his arrest as is the prosecution case.For the said reasons, this submission fails.Secondly, Mr. Prem Singh urged that even if the prosecution story is accepted on its face value, no offence under Section 303/ 34, IPC would be made out against the appellant and only one under Section 304(II)/ 34, IPC would be made out against him.He urged that there is no evidence to show as to which of the three persons, including the appellant, were responsible for the solitary incised wound suffered by the deceased Om Prakash and injury No. 3 suffered by deceased Gyasuddin underneath, which autopsy surgeon found left pleura punctured and left lower lobe of left lung punctured and which proved to be fatal.We have reflected over the said submission and find no merit in it.It is true that neither the ocular account nor dying declarations make it manifest that as to who amongst the three assailants was responsible for the fatal injuries of the deceased persons but in our view in this case this would make no difference because there is sufficient evidence to show that the murder of Gyasuddin was committed by appellant Ramesh along with his two associates in furtherance of their common intention.The evidence is that accused persons nursed ill-will against Gyasuddin.On the night of 12-6-1978, at 3.00 a.m., they entered into the quarter of Gyasuddin and launched concerted assault with knife on his person; causing him three incised wounds, one of which, injury No. 3 proved fatal.It is true that Dr. Nirankar Singh (P.W. 4), who performed the autopsy on the corpse of Gyasuddin, in his examination-in-chief, did not state that the injuries suffered by Gyasuddin were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death but in our view this would make no difference because the Supreme Court in the oft-quoted case of Brij Bhukhan v. State of U.P. reported in AIR 1957 SC 474 : 1957 Cri LJ 591, in para 6 has laid down the ratio that if a bare perusal of the injuries makes it manifest that they are sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, then the absence of the medical evidence to the said effect would be no impediment in the way of Court in recording a conviction for the offence punishable under Section 302, I.P.C. In our judgement, a perusal of injury No. 3 suffered by Gyasuddin, coupled with the internal damage beneath it, makes it manifest that it was sufficient to cause his death in ordinary course of nature.Since the said injury was caused by appellant-Ramesh and his two associates in furtherance of their intention, an offence punishable under S. 302/ 34, IPC would be made out against them.For the aforesaid reasons, we confirm the conviction of the appellant Ramesh on both the counts namely, under Sections 302/34, IPC and 324/34, IPC and the sentences of imprisonment for life on the former count and two years' R. I. on the latter count awarded to him and dismiss this appeal.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 452 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 394 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"of the case, in short, are that one co- accused Dev Prakash @ Devu had given a complaint on 28.04.2010 to Station House Officer, Kampoo, District Gwalior (M.P.) that he along with the deceased Santosh Sharma were going to meet their friends.Near Nehru Park, Kampoo, Gwalior, some friends met Santosh Sharma and Dev Prakash @ Devu and therefore they started talking with them.Santosh found that some persons were quarrelling with his friends and therefore Santosh took the gun of co- accused Dev Prakash @ Devu and started assaulting the persons quarrelling with the base of the gun.It was also mentioned in the application that in the meantime a fire took place and Santosh himself sustained injuries and 2 CRR.779.2010 Pankaj Singh Rajput Vs State of Madhya Pradesh ultimately he died.Investigation was done and the charge-sheet was filed after recording the evidence of various persons.The police had filed the charge-sheet for the offence under Section 304 or 304/34 of IPC whereas the trial court has framed the charges of the offence under Section 302 or 302/34 of IPC.After considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, prima facie, it cannot be said that since there was no previous enmity of applicant Pankaj Singh Rajput he did not intend to kill the victim Santosh.It cannot be said that he did not intent to kill the victim Santosh.Intention of an accused may be developed at the time of incident.Trial Court has found his intention on two reasons.Consequently, the present revision filed by the applicant Pankaj Singh Rajput is hereby dismissed at motion stage.A copy of the order be sent to the court below for information.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The brief facts necessary for the disposal of these appeals are:(a) P.W. 4 Shankari the young victim aged about 14 years, the daughter of P.W. 1 Ekambaram and P.W. 15 Parimala was doing her VIII Standard in S. S.K.V. School, Kancheepuram during the relevant period.On 11.2.98 at about 9.00 A.M., A-1 with an intention of marrying her, went to the School in M.O. 1 auto and informed her that her mother P.W. 15 was admitted in the hospital.She immediately informed her Class Teacher examined as P.W. 5 Rajeswari and proceeded with A-1 in the auto.She was brought to Kamatchiamman Temple by A-1 in the said auto and made her wait for 15 minutes.Thereafter, A-1 accompanied by A-2 took her on 11.2.98 at 1.00 P.M. to the house of A-2's grandmother P.W. 7 Logammal, which is situate at Kaliampoondi.P.W. 4 when questioned the same, both of them threatened him.Till the morning of 12.2.98, A-1, A-2 and P.W. 4 stayed in P.W. 7's house.On 12th morning A-3 came there and joined the other accused.Then, they took P.W. 4 to Vellore, and from there, A-1 and A-3 took P.W. 4 to Bangalore leaving A-2 at Vellore.On 13th, A-1, A-3 and P.W. 4 reached Bangalore and took her to the house of A-3's sister P.W. 9 Rajeswari situate at Pudhuvijayaraghavapuram.P.W. 4 was kept from 13.2.98 till 24.2.98 in P.W. 9's house.During the said period A-1 had forcible sexual intercourse on P.W. 4 on number of occasions.(b) At about 2 P.M. on 12.2.98, P.W. 1 lodged a complaint under Ex.P.W. 16 Kandan, Sub Inspector of Police, Kanchi Taluk Police Station, on the strength of Ex.P. 1 complaint, registered a case in Crime No. 209/98 under 'girl missing'.P. 5 printed F.I.R. was sent to the concerned Judicial Magistrate's Court.P.Ws. 1 to 3 were examined and their statements were recorded.Subsequently, the case was altered to S. 366 of I.P.C. The alteration report was also sent to the concerned Court.On 24.3.98, P.W. 19, Pugazhendhi, Inspector of Police, Kanchi Taluk Police Station took up investigation.He received the information that A-1 and P.W. 4 were produced before the Court.P.W. 19 proceeded to the Judicial Magistrate's Court, Kancheepuram and made a request for sending A-1 and P.W. 4 for medical examination.On 25.3.98 P.W. 18 Dr. Parasakthi examined P.W. 4 victim girl and issued a medical certificate under Ex.On examination, the Doctor found the sexual offences committed.On 26.3.98 P.W. 20 Dr. Gururaj examined the accused and issued Exs.P. 14 and P15 certificates.He also examined P.W. 4 and issued Ex.P. 16 age certificate.On the basis of the statement of the victim, the case was altered to Ss 366(A) and 376 of I.P.C. On 14.4.98 P.W. 19 seized M.O. 1 auto under Ex.P. 11 mahazar in front of two witnesses.On the same day on information he arrested A-2 and A-3 and recorded their confessional statements in front of the witnesses.At about 7.45 P.M., M.Os. 2 and 3 (series), dresses and notebooks were recovered from A-2's tailoring shop under Ex.P. 12 mahazar.On the same day at about 8.00 P.M., on the basis of A-3's confessional statement, M.Os. 4 and 5 letters were recovered from A-3 under Ex.P. 13 mahazar.On 15.4.98 A-2 and A-3 were sent for remand.On 30.4.98, the case was handed over to P.W. 14 Sudarsan, Sub Inspector of Police, Siva Kanchi Police Station on the point of jurisdiction.P.W. 14 on 26.5.98 registered a transferred case in Crime No. 486/98 under Ss 366 and 376 IPC and prepared Ex.P. 4 printed F.I.R. and placed before P.W. 21 Rajkumar, Inspector of Police for investigation.P.W. 12 conducted further investigation, examined P.Ws. 5, 6 and 11 and recorded their statements.On 2.4.99 he examined P.Ws. 8 and 16 and recorded their statements.He examined further witnesses and P.Ws. 18 and 20 Doctors and other witnesses also and recorded their statements.P.W. 4, a young girl of 14 years, who was studying VIII Standard in S. S.K.V. School at Kancheepuram, was kidnapped from her School on 11.2.98 at 9.00 A.M. on the misrepresentation made by A-1 that her mother was not doing well.She was taken in an auto to Kamatchiamman Temple where A-2 joined with them.She was then taken to Kaliampoondi, the place where the house of the grandmother of A-2 was situate.JUDGMENT M. Chockalingam, J.The appellants, who stood charged and tried for the offences under Ss 366 and 376 of I.P.C. in respect of A-1 and Ss 366, 366 r/w 109 and 376 r/w 109 of I.P.C. in respect of A-2 and A-3 have brought forth these two appeals against the conviction and sentence imposed on them by the lower Court.On completion of the investigation, the succeeding Officer of P.W. 21 filed a charge sheet against the accused under Ss 366 and 376 of I.P.C.In order to prove the charges against the accused, the prosecution examined 21 witnesses and marked 17 exhibits and 5 material objects.On completion of the evidence of the prosecution, the accused were questioned under S. 313 of Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses.On the side of the defence, one Suresh, a photographer was examined as D.W. 1 and 3 exhibits were marked.After hearing the rival submissions and scrutiny of the materials, the trial Court found A-1 guilty under Ss 363 and 376(1) of I.P.C., while it found A-2 and A-3 guilty under S. 363 read with 109 of I.P.C. and sentenced A-1 to undergo 3 years R.I. under S. 363 IPC and 7 years R.I. under S. 376(1) IPC and A-2 and A-3 to undergo 3 years R.I. under S. 363 r/w 109 IPC.Thus, these two appeals have arisen.The learned Counsel advancing his arguments for the appellants in both the appeals interalia made the following submissions.P.W. 4 has not spoken anything regarding the marriage or the intention of the first accused to marry P.W. 4 against her will.The prosecution has not proved that the first accused informed the accused that her mother was admitted in the hospital or the victim was taken out from the School.The evidence of P.W. 20 Doctor and Ex.P. 16 age certificate would disclose that the age of the victim was more than 18 years, and thus, she was not a minor.A reading of Ex.D1 a letter, which was written by P.W. 4 to the Police Officers in respect of her age difference and the wrong entries in the school certificates would clearly reveal that it was one out of her own accord, and in that regard, no one of the accused had any role to play.The prosecution relied on a birth certificate wherein the name of the victim was not given, and they have also relied on a School Certificate.It is nowhere found in the evidence, who was the author of the school certificate and the age given therein, and hence, the age of the victim could not be decided from those documents adduced.As per the evidence of P.W. 18 Doctor who examined the victim and gave Ex.P. 10 wound certificate, there is nothing to indicate that she either sustained any injury in her body or in her private part.P.W. 4 has disclosed that the accused were known to her already.P.W. 19 was not empowered to investigate the case, which was out of his jurisdiction.All the independent witnesses examined by the prosecution have turned hostile, and thus, what is available for the prosecution was the testimonies of the interested witnesses.It is pertinent to note that the F.I.R. was lodged belatedly, but, the same was not explained by the prosecution in any manner.From the available evidence, it would be clear that P.W. 4 out of love affair left from her house and not by compulsion of anybody.Under such circumstances, the lower Court should have outrightly rejected the case of the prosecution and acquitted them, and hence, in view of the submissions made, the appellants/accused are entitled for an acquittal in the hands of this Court.They stayed there till next day morning namely 12.2.98, where A-3 also joined with them.From there A-1 and A-3 took her to Bangalore, leaving A-2, and all of them stayed in the house of P.W. 9, the sister of A-3 till 24.2.98, and the sexual assault was committed by A-1 on her on number of occasions.P.W. 1 has categorically given evidence in respect of all the above facts.Despite the cross examination in full, her evidence remained unshaken.P.W. 5, the Class Teacher of P.W. 4 has been examined as to the fact that P.W. 4 got permission from her to leave from the class room on the reason that her mother was suddenly hospitalised.Near Kamatchiamman Temple, she was made to wait for sometime, where A-2 has also joined.From that place, they have taken her to P.W. 7's house at Kaliampoondi.Admittedly, P.W. 7 was the grandmother of A-2, and hence, no one could expect her to speak anything about her grandson.P.W. 7 has turned hostile.From the evidence of P.W. 4, it would be clear that on 11.2.98 from 1.00 P.M. till next morning, they were staying in P.W. 7's house.On 12.2.98 A-3 has joined them and A-1 to A-3 have taken P.W. 4 to Vellore.From Vellore, A-1 and A-3 have taken her to Bangalore by Bus, leaving A-2 at Vellore.Her evidence as spoken to above would clearly reveal that A-1 with the full assistance and abetment of A-2 and A-3 have kidnapped her from the lawful guardianship and had taken her to different places.It is pertinent to note that on 12.2.98 itself, a complaint was lodged at 2.00 P.M. by P.W. 1, on the strength of which, a case was registered by P.W. 16 Sub Inspector of Police, Kanchi Taluk Police Station as one for girl missing.The printed F.I.R. was immediately despatched to the concerned Magistrate's Court.Then, the statements of witnesses were recorded.Subsequently the case was altered to S. 366 of I.P.C. After A-1 and P.W. 4 surrendered before the Court, they were subjected to medical examination.P.W. 18 Doctor Parasakthi examined P.W. 4, the victim girl and has issued Ex.P. 10 medical certificate opining that her vagina admitted two fingers without pain and the hymen was absent.On 26.3.98 P.W. 20 Dr. Gururaj examined the accused and issued Exs.P14 and P15 certificates.The medical evidence adduced through the Doctors and the medical certificates would clearly corroborate the evidence of P.W. 4, the victim.The contention of the appellants' side that all the independent witnesses have turned hostile is of no consequence, since the evidence of the young victim is trustworthy and the same inspires the confidence of the Court, and apart from that, it is fully supported by the other evidence narrated above.The main contention that was raised by the learned Counsel for the appellants was that in order to prove the age of the victim, the lower Court has relied on three documents namely Exs.P. 3 is the school certificate, while Ex.Added further the learned Counsel that P.W. 20 Doctor has given Ex.P. 16 certificate and has found through radiology test that she was 18 years old, and hence, she was not a minor.This contention has got to be thoroughly discountenanced.In the instant case, the school certificate of the victim has been filed along with the birth certificate.In the school certificate, the name of the girl along with the date of birth is given.P.W. 1 the father and P.W. 15 the mother of P.W. 4 both have been examined.There is no material available to indicate that A-1 at the time of kidnapping her committed the offences with an intention of marrying her, and hence, the lower court has found A-1 guilty under S. 376(1) of I.P.C. and rightly too.The lower Court was also right in finding A-1 guilty under S. 363 of IPC and A-2 and A-3 guilty under S. 363 read with 109 of IPC.The Court does not find nothing to interfere in the conviction recorded by the lower Court.Coming to the question of punishment, the trial Court has awarded 3 years R.I. to A-1 under S. 363 of I.P.C. and 7 years R.I. under S. 376(1) of I.P.C. The Court is unable to find anything to interfere in the sentence imposed on the first accused.So far as the sentence imposed on A-2 and A-3 is concerned, the lower Court has awarded 3 years R.I. under S. 363 read with 109 IPC.With the above modification, the criminal appeal in C.A. No. 986/02 is dismissed.","['Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The facts giving rise to the present case, in short, are thus -One Vilas Mahadeo Patil - the complainant, is the resident of village Nerle.His daughter Aparna - the deceased was studying in 10th Standard.Accused No. 1 was earlier married but had no child from his first wife and hence he and his parents intended to perform his second marriage and, therefore, proposal of marriage to Aparna was accepted and accused No. 1 was married to deceased Aparna.After the marriage, they were living together at their home happily till Diwali.Thereafter when the complainant and his brother used to visit the house of the accused, they noticed that Aparna was not living with proper manner but was not ready to talk anything.Four months prior to the incident, when Aparna had gone to her parental home, she complained that all accused are giving ill-treatment to her, such as beating and abusing due to the reason that first wife of accused No. 1 had delivered a child.Aparna also informed her parents that accused was telling her that she was no more required.Even on the occasion of second Diwali when deceased Aparna was taken to her parents home, she complained that the accused was not allowing her to eat food at proper time and abusing her.On 5.12.1997 at 9.30 p.m. Ashok Patil told the complainant that he received a message through someone from Tasgaon that Aparna suffered an attack.Thereafter jeep was called by the complainant and in that jeep the complainant, his wife, his brother, Ashok Patil, other relatives and neighbour went to the house of the accused at about 11.30 p.m. to 12.00 midnight.All the accused persons were present in the house.On enquiry, they informed that Aparna had died and cremation had taken place.when accused were asked as to why the complainant and the relatives were not informed, they were told that persons were sent with messages but they could not contact them and therefore they could not attend the funeral.The complainant and others returned to their village.Thereafter, after consulting the relatives, the complainant went to Kasegaon Police Station for lodging the complaint, however, as the incident had taken place at Tasgaon, the complainant went to Tasgaon police station and at least the complaint was lodged against the accused persons on 7.12.1997 and crime was registered at Crime No. 279 of 1997 under Section 498-A, 302, 201 read with 34 of the I.P.C. on 7.12.1997 at 6.00 a.m. On 7.12.1997 investigation commenced in which course panchnama of the spot i.e. house of the accused was prepared.Statements of witnesses were recorded and accused persons were put under arrest.JUDGMENT Kakade, J.Originally, all the 5 accused persons were prosecuted for commission of the offence punishable under Section 498-A, Section 302 read with 34 and Section 201 read with 34 of the I.P.C. Accused Nos. 1 & 2 were found guilty of commission of the offence under Section 498-A, Section 302 read with Section 201 read with 34 of the I.P.C., whereas accused Nos. 3, 4 & 5 were acquitted of the charges under Section 302 and Section 201 read with 34 of the I.P.C. but were convicted for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of the I.P.C. Accused Nos. 1 & 2 were convicted and sentenced to suffer life imprisonment and to pay fine of Rs. 15,000/- each in default to suffer R.I. for one year for offence of murder, whereas they were sentenced to suffer R.I. for 5 years and to pay fine of Rs. 5,000/- each in default to suffer R.I. for six months for offence under Section 201 of I.P.C. and they were sentenced to surfer R.I. for one year ad to pay fine of Rs. 1000/- each in default to suffer R.I. for one month for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of the I.P.C. Accused Nos. 3, 4 & 5 were sentenced to suffer R.I. for one year and in default to suffer R.I. for one month for offence punishable under Section 498-A of the I.P.C. and, therefore, accused Nos. 1 & 2 have filed one appeal, whereas remaining accused persons have filed separate appeal who have been convicted for offence punishable under Section 498-A with 34 of the I.P.C.Clothes of the accused No. 1 were also seized under panchnama.Bones from the spot of cremation were sent to the Expert and on completion of the investigation chargesheet came to be filed against the accused under law.The learned Addl.Sessions Judge framed charge against the accused for the impugned offences to which they pleaded not guilty.Defence of the accused is that of total denial of any criminal liability.Prosecution led its evidence at length on which basis the learned Judge came to the conclusion that accused Nos. 1 & 2 were guilty of commission of the offence under Section 498-A, 302, 201 read with 34 of the I.P.C., whereas the accused Nos. 3, 4 & 5 were guilty only of commission of the offence under Section 498-A read with 34 and proceeded to pass order of sentence against them in aforesaid manner.Hence the appeal.We have heard Mr. Sudatta Patil, learned counsel for the appellants and Ms. Kantharia, learned A.P.P. for the State at length.We have also perused the entire evidence on record.At the outset, it must be noted that prosecution has relied upon the testimony of 14 witnesses, out of which two are police personnel.The remaining witnesses are either panch witnesses or neighbours of accused persons who are examined either on the point of harassment of Aparna or on the point of their attendance of funeral of Aparna when they came to know about her death on the fateful day.Apart from this evidence, the evidence of PW-11 Vilas Patil - the complainant and father of Aparna, PW-12 Prabhawati Patil is worthy to note which is relied upon by the learned Trial Judge.At this Juncture itself, we must note that all the material witnesses except parents of Aparna have chosen not to support the prosecution case and, therefore, they were declared hostile by the learned Trial Judge in the course of the trial.The learned Trial Judge, as can be seen from the judgment, has thought it fit to rely upon the testimonies of hostile witnesses in order to come to the conclusion that guilt of the accused persons for the impugned offence is established, especially when it is corroborated by the testimonies of parents of deceased Aparna, duly supported by circumstantial evidence.Therefore, we thought it fit to critically peruse the testimonies of 10 hostile witnesses.Panch witnesses are declared hostile and, therefore, the panchnama remained unproved though referred to by the investigating officer.So far as other hostile witnesses are concerned, it is seen that majority of those are examined by the prosecution to propound its theory that Aparna was under harassment from the accused persons and she died on the fateful day under the suspicious circumstances to the knowledge of those witnesses who also attended her cremation rites.However, it is to be noted that perusal of the testimony does not support the prosecution case about the alleged harassment or circumstances giving rise to the suspicion against the accused when it is alleged that accused persons killed her during the night.We have critically perused the reasoning adopted by the learned Trial Judge and must not that he has relied more on surmises and conjectures than on hard proof of facts, which cannot be allowed in law.In the result, we have no option but to set aside the order passed by the learned Trial Judge.For the reasons recorded above, we hold that prosecution has failed to establish the guilt of the accused appellants for offences with which they were charged and, therefore, they are entitled to benefit of doubt.In the result, both appeals are hereby allowed.The impugned order dated 10.6.1999 passed by the 4th Addl.Sessions Judge, Sangli passed in Sessions Case No. 58 of 1998 is hereby set aside.","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"P.W.-3 is a Doctor.P.W.- 7 is the sister of victim's mother.She came to the saloon of Lalan for getting the hairs of Arifa being cut but she was told to go back.The accused further said to P.W.- 7 that he will keep Arifa after hair cutting of her to house.After half an hour Arifa came back home crying and on being asked Arifa told about the commission of offence.She found Arifa was naked and holding the Jangia in her hand.According to her statement, Arifa told her ""Khala, Lalan tar Sona diye amar prosraber dware, paikhanar dware gunto ganta merechhe"".P.W.- 8 also found on examination of the vagina of Arifa that it had become reddish.She successfully answered the cross-examination.P.W.- 9 is another Doctor.P.W.- 13 is an A.S.I. of Police.P.W.- 14 is another Medical Officer.IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRA No. 745 of 2008 Lalan Seikh --Appellant/AccusedThis appeal arose out of the judgment and order dated 18.11.2008 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Nadia, in Sessions Trial No. 4 of August, 2008 arising out of Sessions Case No. 55 of August, 2008, convicting the appellant under section 354 of IPC and sentencing him accordingly.In the background of this appeal, the fact in a nutshell is as follows : A FIR was lodged to the effect that complainant's daughter Arifa Khatun, aged about 9 years and a student of class-V came to the house of her maternal uncle in village Patharghata within P.S. Tehatta in summer vacation.During her stay at the matrimonial home, she had been to the wayside saloon of accused Lalan Sheikh on 15.5.2008 at about 2-00 p.m. for cutting her hair.At that time accused Lalan Sheikh forcibly raped her.She raised hue and cry.Neighbouring people assembled there and then the accused fled away from the spot.The victim girl felt ill.The victim girl was first taken to Tehatta Sub-divisional Hospital and therefrom she was referred to District Hospital at Shaktinagar.After investigation, police submitted charge-sheet.Police got the statement of the victim girl recorded by the learned Judicial Magistrate under section 164 Cr.P.C. Further allegation was that the accused inserted some cut hair into her vagina and pushed his finger into the vagina on the pretext of taking out the cut hair therefrom.It was further alleged that the accused tried to insert his penis into her rectum but failed.It was further alleged that the accused tried to insert his penis into her vagina but failed.After investigation, police submitted charge-sheet against the accused person under sections 376/377 of the Indian Penal Code.After hearing of both sides, the learned Trial Court framed charge under sections 376(2)(f)/511 and also 377/511 of IPC against the accused.The contents of the charges were read over and explained to him and he pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.To contest this case the prosecution examined as many as fifteen witnesses while none was examined on the side of the accused.However, the accused person was examined under section 313 Cr.P.C. The defence case as it appeared from the trend of cross-examination and the replies given by the accused person at the time of cross- examination under section 313 Cr.P.C. is denial of offence with a plea of innocence.On trial the learned Trial Court convicted the present appellant by the impugned judgment.- Whoever voluntarily has carnal intercourse against the order of nature with any man, woman or animal, shall be punished with [imprisonment for life], or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.- Penetration is sufficient to constitute the carnal intercourse necessary to the offence described in this section""Punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment.-- Whoever attempts to commit an offence punishable by this Code with [imprisonment for life] or imprisonment, or to cause such an offence to be committed, and in such attempt does any act towards the commission of the offence, shall, where no express provision is made by this Code for the punishment of such attempt, be punished with [imprisonment of any description provided for the offence, for a term which may extend to one- half of the imprisonment for life or, as the case may be, one-half of the longest term of imprisonment provided for that offence], or with such fine as is provided for the offence, or with both.""Amongst others learned Counsel for the appellant argued mainly on the following points :P.W.-1 scribed the complaint as per the instruction of Lalan Sheikh.He examined on 15.5.2008 one Arifa Khatun, aged about 10 years.The girl complained of severe pain in her private parts.According to the version, the Doctor recorded the history of ""physical assault and sexual abuse"".He did not examine the private parts of the child.She was referred to Saktinagar District Hospital at Krishnagar.P.W.-4 is the father of victim.He proved the Birth Certificate of his daughter showing that she was 10 (ten) years old.He learned from his sisters-in-law Alekjan, Bulbuli and Selena that his daughter was sent to the saloon of one Lalan Sheikh, but there she was subjected to rape.She took her daughter to the Hospital and then at Saktinagar on referral.He lodged the complaint to the police.It was suggested to him that they are supporters of CPI(M) party while the accused is the supporter of BJP and that is why out of political rivalry he was falsely implicated.P.W.- 5 is a teenager girl.She was examined but knows nothing about incident.P.W.- 6 was declared hostile.He examined the victim.He found her hymen was ruptured but there was no injury in her private part.He stated that such rupture of hymen may be caused if the index finger is forcefully introduced into the vagina.He also examined the accused Lalan Sheikh and opined that he was capable of sexual intercourse.P.W.- 10 is the mother of the victim.After getting information she went to Patharghata.She enquired everything from her daughter and learnt the incident.She accompanied her daughter at Krishnagar Sadar Hospital.P.W.- 11 is another sister of victim's mother.The victim girl after returning from saloon of Lalan Sheikh reported everything to all of them.P.W.- 12 is a Home Guard who escorted the victim girl to the S.D. Hospital there.He examined the victim.He found no injury in the vulva and vagina.Vulva and vagina were found intact.Because of strain of the patient her digital examination into the internal parts could not be made.Further he stated that comment regarding rupture of hymen was not possible because the patient refused her vagina examination.No injury also could be detected over anal orifice.P.W.- 15 is the I/O. After investigation, he submitted charge-sheet.The accused was asked pinpointed questions over the incriminating material available in evidence against him but he simply denied all the questions.The translated version of the 164 statement is reproduced below.""On last Thursday I had been to the wayside saloon at Patharghata for cutting my hairs.I was accompanied by my aunt (Masi).My Masi came back home after dropping me in the saloon.Thereafter when my cutting of hair was over, barber Lalan Sk. asked me to lie.I did not agree.Then Barber Lalan Sk. asked me to daub oil in the hairs of my head.I again came back to the saloon of Lalan Sk.after daubing oil in the hairs of my head.Then Lalan asked me to be nude.Then Lalan put cut hairs on my vagina.Lalan moved his finger inside my vagina.Then Lalan was going to push his penis into my rectum.But despite such attempt, Lalan failed to do it.Lalan removed my panty.He forcibly closed the gate of the shop.Afterwards Lalan of his own opened the gate.Then Lalan was going to insert his Sona (penis) into my vagina (the urinating private organ) but failed.The record does not show that de facto complainant cherished any grudge or animosity against the present appellant.Rather he used to call accused 'Mite'.Doctors' evidence more or less support the story of attempt of rape.The victim suffered enormous pain in her private parts.This fact points towards the possibility of commission of attempt to rape by the accused person.The other relation witness more or less supported the prosecution story.The evidence of the prosecutrix has to be sifted to separate the grain from the chaff because the theory of 'falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus' is not applicable.The elegance of the evidence of the victim girl inspires confidence.Rather consistency of her version makes her sterling witness.The accused was known to the father of the victim girl.So, too the victim.The accused was aged about 26 years whereas the victim was 10 years.","['Section 354 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 511 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hence, petitioner No. 3 decided to permit petitioner No. 1 to run the said hotel.The petitioner No. 2 is the husband of petitioner No. 1, who helped petitioner No. 1 in running the hotel business.3. Learned Senior Counsel Shri Manohar further submitted that in the year 2007, a dispute arose between petitioners in relation to running of the said hotel business.It was submitted that on 23-1-2007, petitioner No. 1 filed Regular Civil Suit bearing No. 36/2007 against petitioner Nos. 3 and 4 in the Small Cause Court, Nagpur for declaration and permanent injunction.The petitioner No. 1 also obtained an ex parte ad interim injunction for protecting her possession of the property.Learned Senior Counsel Shri Manohar further submitted that looking to the nature of disputes and unnecessarily lodging of reports/complaints against each other by the petitioners, family friends and well wishers of the petitioners persuaded the petitioners to settle their disputes.Accordingly a compromise petition was prepared and filed in the Court of Judge, Small Causes, Nagpur.Shri Shrivastava, learned Counsel for the petitioner Nos. 3 and 4, adopted the arguments advanced by learned Senior Counsel Shri Manohar and made the same request of quashing of criminal proceedings since petitioners have amicably settled disputes amongst themselves and want to have good and cordial relations in future.Mrs. Khade, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent, contended that crimes registered against the petitioners on the basis of complaints lodged by them against each other are non-compound-able and, therefore, in view of bar of Section 320 of Code of Criminal Procedure, prayer made by the petitioners does not deserve to be granted.We have given our anxious thought to the contentions canvassed by the learned Counsel for the parties.","['Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 320 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 143 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"ORDER Dipak Misra, J.Extinction of one's Liberty amounts to crucifixion of one's soul.Because of this feeling a noble soul had demanded ""Give me liberty or give me death"".It is a cherished ideal that echoes the inner desire of every human soul.No one would like to barter it for the entire wealth of the world.The cause of liberty is treated as the cause of the creator.One's freedom, may be that of an accused or a convict can be curtailed in accordance with the terms of procedure established by 'law' but how long that curtailment should continue as far as an accused is concerned is the seminal question that arises for consideration in this application for obtaining concession of bail - third attempt by the petitioner who has been arraigned as an accused in Crime No. 21/97 instituted for offences punishable under Sections 302, 147 and 148/149 of the Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC').The singular contention is that the delay in disposal of the trial in S. T. No. 86/97 entitles the petitioner to be enlarged on bail, more so, when this Court had issued directions for disposal of the trial by specified period and had granted him leave to renew the prayer for bail in case the trial is not completed within the stipulated time.The essential facts:The petitioner along with 7 others has been arraigned as accused in respect of offences punishable as mentioned above and is facing trial in S. T No. 86/97 pending in the Court of learned First Additional Sessions Judge, Satna.The petitioner had approached this Court in Misc.This Court while declining to admit the petitioner to bail passed a direction to the learned trial Judge to expedite the trial.This Court also recorded the assurance of the learned Government Advocate who had stated that the prosecution would produce the witnesses on the dates fixed for hearing and would not seek unnecessary adjournments.As the date was fixed beyond the time stipulated by this Court, the petitioner had approached this Court for being released on bail on the ground there has not been progress in the trial.It is relevant to state here though in the petition certain other grounds have been taken with regard to the merit of the case, the main thrust of submission relates to delay in trial.The petitioner at that stage filed an application for clubbing of his case with the counter case.Resultantly, the application for bail stands rejected.","['Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Then both mother and son duo lunged forward to attack Jaikunwarbai but she fled from her house and then both the assailants also went away.The information of the incident was given to Mohan, brother of Jaikunwarbai who was working in the field.This witness in her cross-examination states that she is married and her husband's village is Khoria - Ema and she had come to her parental house on the occasion of Diwali.She states that after arriving at her parental house, she used to stay for about 8 days.(Delivered at Indore on this 7th day of July, 2020) Per Shailendra Shukla, J.The present appeal under Section 374 of the Cr.P.C. has been filed against the judgement of conviction and sentence pronounced by the Sessions Judge, Shajapur in S.T. No.10/2006 vide judgement dated 28.12.2006, whereby each of the appellants have been convicted and sentenced as under :-The prosecution story in short was that on 27.11.2005, Sub- Inspector A. K. Singh (PW-11) of Police Station Barodia, District Shajapur received a telephonic message from Kumer Singh, Sarpanch of Village Lasudiya-Jagmal that a murder had been committed in the village.A. K. Singh (PW-11) arrived at the spot.The witness Jaikunwarbai (PW-9), who is daughter of the deceased Tejubai and who was a married lady, narrated the incident to him and as per her statements on the morning of 27.11.2005, appellant Shaitanbai who lives in neighbourhood and who is aunt of Jaikunwarbai came rushing to the house of Jaikunwarbai who was sitting with her mother Tejubai.Shaitanbai started abusing Tejubai saying that son of Tejubai namely, Mohan had quarrelled with Radheshyam, son of Shaitanbai.At that moment, Jagdish, another son of Shaitanbai also came and started using filthy and abusive language.Tejubai told them not to abuse but Shaitanbai wielding sharp edged weapon daranta and Jagdish wielding a knife entered the house of Tejubai.Shaitanbai inflicted daranta blow on the chest of Tejubai, who started bleeding and fell on the floor.Babitabai, daughter of Tejuabai then came to rescue but Jagdish stabbed Babitabai with knife and Babitabai also fell upon Tejubai.Mohan came to spot and immediately went to inform Kumer Singh, Sarpanch who in turn made 3 telephone call to Sub-Inspector A. K. Singh.The Sub-Inspector, after recording Dehati Nalishi, drew Panchnama, spot-map and recorded statements of the witnesses and arrested both the assailants/appellants and on the basis of their memorandum, seized daranta from Shaitanbai and a knife from Jagdish.The blood stained soil was collected from the spot and blood stained clothes of the appellants were also seized.Both these items were sent to FSL.However, FSL report could not be obtained till the conclusion of the trial and pronouncement of judgement.After investigation, charge-sheet was filed and the Trial Court read over the charges under Sections 302/34 and 450/34 of IPC to the appellants.Both of them abjured their guilt and have stated that they have been falsely implicated due to prior enmity.Learned Trial Court went on to examine prosecution witnesses and in all, 11 witnesses were examined and no defence evidence was led and after conclusion of trial, both the appellants have been convicted and sentenced as aforementioned.In the appeal, it has been mentioned that due to prior enmity, the appellants have been falsely implicated, that independent witnesses have not supported the prosecution story.The statements of witnesses are self-contradictory and there are many important omissions and contradictions which have been overlooked, that medical report also does not corroborate statements of witnesses, that compliance of Section 157 of Cr.P.C. has not been made and the prosecution was unable to prove spot of the incident and on these grounds, acquittal has been sought.The question for consideration before this Court is whether in view of the grounds taken by the appellants, conviction and sentence imposed upon the appellants is liable to be set aside and the appellants deserve to be acquitted?The prosecution has examined eye-witnesses namely, Smt. Jaikunwarbai (PW-9), Dulesingh (PW-2), Shankarlal (PW-3), Sitaram (PW-4) and Smt. Ghisibai (PW-6).However, barring Jaikunwarbai (PW-9), all other eye-witnesses have turned hostile.Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) being the daughter of deceased Tejubai is the interested witness.Hence, her statements need to be appreciated with circumspection.This witness states that about 2 months prior to her deposition at about 8.00 AM in the morning, the witness was at her home and at that time her mother Tejubai, sister-in-law Babitabai, Sandeep, Rachna and Deepak were all present.She states that about a month back her brother Mohan had a quarrel with Radheysham (s/o accused Shaitanbai).She states that Shaitanbai who is her Badi Maa (wife of elder brother of witness's father) came to her house and started abusing Tejubai.At that point of time, Jagdish, son of Shaitanbai also came wielding knife whereas Shaitanbai was wielding daranta.She states that Shaitanbai inserted daranta in the stomach of Tejubai, the witness's mother, then Jagdish also stabbed Babitabai on her chest.Both of them fell down and then her brother Mohan came to the spot and went away to inform Sarpanch.She further states that police came and drew spot map, police seized blood stained soil and ordinary soil and exhibited documents on which she appended her thumb impression.She reiterates that incident occurred due to previous incident of assault.Between Mohan, son of deceased Tejubai and Radheshyam.In her cross- examination, she has been asked question relating to the earlier incident.She states that at the time of earlier incident, also she was in 5 her parental house and the dispute occurred because the irrigation pipe going to her parental agriculture field was severed.Reverting back to the incident which culminated in death of her mother and sister-in-law, she states in para-9 that incident of stabbing took place inside the house.She states that for quite sometime Shaitanbai, wielding daranta in her hand was shouting and abusing Tejubai and due to such shouts the neighbours had gathered and that the incident of stabbing happened when Shaitanbai and Jagdish both entered the house.At first her mother was dealt daranta blow and on hearing her cries, Babitabai came rushing but she was stabbed by Jagdish and when this incident occurred the witness was nearby at a distance not more than one hand.The witness states that there are 3 rooms in house and the incident happened in the first room.Dulesingh (PW-2), Shankarlal (PW-3), Sitaram (PW-4) and Ghisibai (PW-6) have turned hostile.However, they have supported the prosecution story in as much as they stated that they had heard and seen the quarrel taking place.Dulesingh (PW-2) states that while he was going from his house to the tube well and passed by the house of the deceased he heard children crying and then he asked a villager namely, Narayan as to what has happened then Narayan told him that Tejubai has been done to death by Jagdish.He states that Jaikunwarbai told this witness to send Jaikunwarbai uncle from agriculture field.This witness has been declared hostile and denies that he himself had seen stabbing incident.However, this witness admits that quarrel between two families had taken place about 8 to 10 days earlier.Thus, this witness has stated to have heard shouts at the time of incident.Shankarlal (PW-3) also states that he had seen quarrel between the two ladies and that Shaitanbai was having a daranta in her hand and Jagdish was having a knife and both of them have entered the house of the deceased.He is also the witness of Exhibit-P/3 Safina form Exhibit- P/3 as also Exhibit-P/4 and Exhibit-P/6 both Naksha Panchnama of Tejubai and Babitabai.However, in para-11 he admits the suggestion that he had not seen both women quarreling and that when he arrived the incident had already taken place.Thus, there is variations in the cross-examination of this witness from that of examination in chief.Sitaram (PW-4) states that he had seen Shaitanbai abusing wife of Dungaji when he was going to fetch water.However, he denies to have seen the act of stabbing.He is declared hostile but only supports the prosecution story to the extent that Shaitanbai was abusing Tejubai and Babitabai and when he came back he saw Tejubai and Babitabai dead.These statements have not been challenged by the prosecution.Ghisibai (PW-6) has also stated that she saw both the ladies talking with each other when the witnesses had gone out to tie her goat at the well.She further states that when she came back she saw Tejubai and Babitabai both dead near the door of their house and Jaikunwarbai was telling that her mother and sister-in-law have been killed.She has been declared hostile but she denies to have seen the whole incident herself.In her cross-examination, she admits that she did not hear the abuses.However, in her statements she has stated that she had seen both the ladies talking to each other and then Babitabai and Tejubai lying dead has not been challenged in the cross-examination.Thus, it emerges that Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) is the only witness who states that the whole incident occurred between her own eyes.Other eye witnesses support the prosecution story only to the extent that they have seen them quarreling and further that they had seen two ladies namely; Tejubai and Babitabai lying dead but they do not state 7 that they saw the incident of stab injury.Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) has been tried to be shown as unreliable.She in para-14 admits that walls of the room where the incident took place were splattered with human blood due to the incident.However, in the spot map Exhibit-P/25, there is no mention of any blood on the walls.This discrepancy has been properly dealt with by the Trial Court in para-14 of its judgment.It has been mentioned that although the blood may not have been found on the walls but there was blood lying on the floor of the room which was collected by Investigating Officer and the same has been supported by other witnesses which shows that the incident occurred in the room of the house.It is quite clear that the witnesses referred to earlier have stated that they saw both the ladies inside the room.In Exhibit-P/25, which is spot map, spot 'A' has been shown as the place where the body of Tejubai was lying and spot 'B' is the place where the body of Babita was lying and both the places have been shown to be inside the room.The second aspect on which Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) has been challenged is that in para-6 she states that on the day of incident no food was cooked but Dr. Z. Iqbal (PW-7) who conducted the post- mortem has stated in his examination-in-chief that he had found semi- digested food in the small intestines of both the ladies which shows that they had taken meals sometimes earlier.Regarding this discrepancy, it emerges that the incident occurred between 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM which means that both the ladies may have eaten their breakfast sometimes earlier and when the incident occurred the menfolk of the house had gone to their agricultural field.In the villages people generally tend to consume breakfast early 8 because the menfolk have to go to their agricultural fields early in the morning.It may be that both the ladies partook of their breakfast which may have been the previous night's left over meal.If the prosecution wanted to implant the witnesses, it could very well have implanted Mohan the son of Tejubai as an eye-witness.However, Mohan (PW-1) has stated that at the time of incident he was in his agricultural field and at that time Dulesingh came and apprised him about the incident.This witness states that he came running to his house and found his wife Babitabai and mother Tejubai soaked in blood and both had died.His sister Jaikunwarbai was present in the house and other villagers as well who had assembled.Jaikunwarbai told him that at first Shaitanbai struck daranta blow on Tejubai and when Babitabai came to rescue, accused Jagdish inflicted knife injury on her chest.The witness states that he then rushed to inform Sarpanch Kumer Singh and told him to intimate the police station.Regarding the cause of the incident, this witness states that about 15 days before the incident, there was a quarrel between the witness and Radheshyam, who is cousin of the witness and elder brother of accused Jadgish and the quarrel was regarding irrigating the agricultural field.Radheshyam had lodged a report against the witness and the witness has been released on bail.This witness has been asked as to whether he saw accused Shaitanbai and Jagdish himself.He replies in affirmative that he had seen both the accused fleeing from the spot of the incident and Shaitanbai was wielding daranta in her hand and Jadgish was wielding a knife.Although, Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) also states in para-9 that 9 Mohan had arrived at the scene when Shaitanbai was abusing.However, immediately thereafter, she makes a statement that Mohan arrived at the scene when the whole incident had occurred and then she had narrated the incident to Mohan.Thus, there appears an attempt on the part of Mohan to be an eye-witness who at first is supported by Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) also but she immediately makes a statement to the effect that Mohan came after the incident.It has been found that Mohan (PW-1) has earlier stated in examination-in- chief that Dulesingh had informed him that his wife and mother had already been attacked by accused persons.The witness Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) has also stated in her statement that Mohan came after the incident.From the evidence of Mohan (PW-1), it becomes clear that reason for Shaitanbai to quarrel with Tejubai was because of the previous fight between her son Radheshyam and witness Mohan in which Radheshyam lodged a report against him.Regarding proximity of both houses of Shaitanbai and the witness, the has witness stated in cross-examination that there is only one wall which exists between two houses.He has been asked as to whether Jaikunwarbai comes to her parents house very often.This witness in para-9 makes exaggerated statement that he knew that murder is going to take place and therefore, he had brought her sister.However, such exaggerated statements can simply be ignored as overzealous person's statement.The parts of the statements of this witness which are reliable are that there was a earlier quarrel between him and Radheshyam, brother of Jadgish and son of Shaitanbai and on the date of the incident, on receiving information, he rushed to the spot, saw his wife and mother already dead and 10 Jaikunwarbai narrated the sequence of events to him and then he rushed to inform Kumer Singh, Sarpanch.Statement of Mohan that Jaikunwarbai told him that both the ladies were done to death by Shaitanbai and Jadgish are relevant statements under Section 7 of the Evidence Act and would be read against both the accused persons.Kumer Singh (PW-5) states that Mohan came to his house in the morning of 27.11.2005 and told him that her mother and wife had been murdered by Jagdish and her mother Shaitanbai.He has also told him that Shaitanbai was wielding daranta and Jadgish was wielding knife.This witness states that he immediately rushed to the spot with Mohan and saw both the ladies lying there dead thereafter, he went to his house and called up police at Dupada Chowki and also called at police station Mohan Barodia and told that two murders have taken place.Thus, as per this witness, the information was not only narrated to the police chowki but also to police station at Mohan Barodia.As per this witness, at first, police from Dupada Chowki had arrived at the spot and 45 minutes later, police from Mohan Barodia came.He was asked as to why he did not immediately inform the police station even before arriving at the spot.This witness states that he considered it appropriate to inform the police only after arriving at the spot.In his police statement (Exhibit-D/2), there is no mention of this witness being told by Mohan that Shaitanbai was wielding daranta and Jagdish a knife.The reliable part of the evidence of this witness is that Mohan informed him in person about the incident and then this witness came to the spot and from the spot, he called up at police chowki and also at police station.However, what we see in this case is that lodging of report, initiation of investigation was also done by police at police station Mohan Barodia.Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) in para-13 11 has stated that at first police from police chowki had arrived at but no incident was narrated to them however, she denies that incident was not narrated as it was being considered at that time name of which accused should be taken.Despite the fact that there are some minor inconsistencies in the statement of Jaikunwarbai (PW-9), she is a reliable eye-witness, who was present in the house when the incident occurred.It is found proved that Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) was in the house when the incident had taken place and incident occurred before her own eyes.Her presence at the time of the incident has been affirmed by other witnesses namely, Ghisibai (PW-6), Dulesingh (PW-2) and Sitaram (PW-4).Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) has stated that after witnessing the incident, as accused lunged towards her, she rushed out of the house and hence was saved.It has already been found proved that Tejubai and Babitabai were killed inside their house.It has further been found proved from the statements of other witnesses and her neighbours that Shaitanbai was seen talking/quarreling with Tejubai prior to the incident.The onus was upon the accused under Section 106 of the Evidence Act to explain how both the ladies were killed.The Investigating Officer A. K. Singh (PW-11) states that on the basis of memorandum of Jagdish, a knife was recovered from Jagdish and on the basis of memorandum of Shaitanbai (Exhibit- P/10), a daranta was recovered from her.However, these weapons have not been produced before the Court.These articles and the FSL report have not even been produced from the FSL and thus, very vital piece of evidence has been missing in this matter.Learned Trial Court has put the whole blame on the 12 Investigating Officer and has even suggested departmental action against him.However, perusal of order-sheets does not show any endeavour on the part of the Presiding Officer directing availability of FSL report and the articles.The Presiding Officer very well knew that he was dealing with a very serious case involving double murder.However, order-sheets did not display any concern on the part of the Presiding Officer regarding non-availability of FSL report.Such indifference and apathy on the part of the Presiding Officer is reprehensible and the Presiding Officer deserves to account for such lapse.Although, vital piece of evidence, which is FSL report is not available, it has been found proved that Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) is a reliable eye-witness and also that Shaitanbai had come to the house of Tejubai and was quarreling with her.It has further been found proved that bodies of both ladies were found in the house of Tejubai.This proves that the assailants had attacked Tejubai and Babitabai.There are no injuries on the person of both the accused.The fact that incident occurred inside the house of Tejubai does away with defence of provocation given to the assailants by the deceased ladies.Thus, assailants could not claim the benefit of first Exception of Section 300 of IPC.They have not discharged the onus on them under Section 106 of the EvidenceFrom the evidence of Dr. Z. Iqbal (PW-7), it is clear that only one injury on each of the deceased was found.The witness states that in the post-mortem report of Tejubai, there was only one incised wound on her chest, size - 1 x x 6 cms on the left side between 5 th and 6th ribs.The death had occurred due to excessive bleeding resulting stoppage of breathing.Regarding Babitabai, this witness 13 states that he had found one injury on the right side of her chest, sizeThe witness states that both the injuries could have been caused by a knife.In the cross- examination, this witness states that injuries caused were not of such nature which could have caused immediate death and if both had been given treatment, their death could have been prevented.Learned counsel for the appellants has pointed that the death had occurred due to non-availability of medical treatment and the doctor himself states that the injuries were of such nature as would have not caused instant death.A comment needs to be made regarding the submissions of Dr. Z. Iqbal (PW-7) when he says that timely medical intervention would have prevented death.It is seen that after the incident of stabbing occurred, death had taken place within a span of half an hour.By the time, Mohan rushed to the spot, both ladies were already dead.The incident had occurred at about 7.30 AM.Mohan (PW-1) in para-14 of his cross-examination states that he had come out of his house at 7.00 AM and was sitting in his field (goha) for 10 to 15 minutes when he received the information and as he reached the spot, both ladies were dead.Jaikunwarbai (PW-9) also states that immediately on being attacked, both ladies had fallen down at the spot only.This also shows that blow was also severe that the deceased ladies could not even make an attempt to run.The State had gone in appeal seeking enhancement.The order-sheets do not display endeavour on the part of the Presiding Officer directing availability of FSL report and the seized articles.Held, such indifference and apathy on the part of the Presiding Officer is reprehensible and the Presiding Officer deserves to account for such lapse.","['Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 450 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Shri Shishir Saxena, Advocate for the complainant.This Criminal appeal assails the judgment dated 03.05.2016 passed in S.T.

No. 4187/16, an application for suspension of sentence filed on behalf of both the appellant is taken up and considered.It is seen from the record that the appellant no.1 Randheer Singh appears to be the main accused who had given pharsa blow on the head of the injured Samandar Singh.By stroke of luck, the injured took evasive action which led to the said blow causing injury on the shoulder instead of head.Fracture was discovered on the shoulder as per the MLC report and therefore the blow was strong enough to break the bone.Thus, appellant no.1 Randheer Singh is not entitled to suspension of sentence.So far as appellant no.2 Ramnath is concerned, it is found by the trial Court that he has given pharsa blow which has led to injury in the hand of injured Yashwant.No grievous injury was found and the appellant no.2 has been implicated with the aid of Section 34 of IPC.Appellant no. 2 has suffered 2 months of imprisonment including the pre conviction period.A.466/2016 has been deposited, on the appellant no.2 furnishing bail bond of Rs. 1,00,000/- (RUPEES ONE LAC ONLY) with two solvent sureties of Rs. 50,000/- to the satisfaction of trial Court Sironj , for his appearance before concerned Court first on 27th of August, 2016 and all other subsequent dates as may be fixed by the concerned trial Court in this regard.In case, the appellant is found absent on any date fixed by the concerned trial Court then the said Court shall be free to issue and execute warrant of arrest for securing his presence without first referring the matter to this Court, provided the Registry of this Court is kept informed.So far as I.A. No. 5162/16, an application for compromise is concerned,it is seen from the record that the entire assault executed by both the appellants was unprovoked.An altercation took place initially between the rival parties , but could not flared up at that point of time and both the parties went home.Later, in the evening, appellants came armed with deadly weapons and assaulted the injured.The offence of attempt to murder where deadly weapons were used in unprovoked manner renders the offence to be an offence against the society and not against an individual and therefore no case for compromise is made out.Accordingly, I.A. No. 5162/16 and I.A. No. 5163/16 stands rejected.",['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Jhunsi District Prayagraj.Heard Sri Kunjesh Kumar Dubey, learned counsel for the revisionist as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record.The prosecution case, as per the version of the FIR, is that on 10.11.2018 when the daughter of the informant namely Km.Arti aged about 14 years went to the shop, she was enticed away by the revisionist.It is submitted by the learned counsel for the revisionist that the revisionist has been falsely implicated in the present case.It is further submitted that in the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. the victim has clearly stated that the revisionist established relations with her with her consent and she was in love with the revisionist and wanted to marry with him.However, subsequently under the influence of her parents she has changed her version in her statement recorded under Section 164 CrPC making allegation of rape against the revisionist.From the perusal of the statement of the victim under Section 161 CrPC it appears

thus, clearly below 15 years of age.Learned counsel for the revisionist further submits that thereafter the revisionist applied for bail before the Juvenile Justice Board, Prayagraj upon which a report from the District Probation Officer was called for.Hence the present criminal revision has been filed before this Hon'ble Court mainly on the following amongst other grounds:(i) That the bail application of the revisionist was rejected by the court below in a very cursory and arbitrary manner.(iv) That the impugned judgment and orders passed by the learned courts below are apparently illegal, contrary to law and based on erroneous assumption of facts and law.(v) That there was absolutely no material on record to hold that the release of the Juvenile would likely to bring him into association with any known criminal or expose him to moral, physical or psychological danger or his release would defeat the ends of justice, yet the courts below have illegally, arbitrary and on surmises refused the bail of juvenile.(vi) That the courts have erred in law in not considering the true import of Section 12 of the Act, 2015 and thus, the impugned orders passed by the courts below suffer from manifest error of law apparent on the face of record.(vii) That the courts below have acted quite illegally and with material irregularity in not properly considering the case of juvenile in proper and correct perspective which makes the impugned orders passed by the courts below non est and bad in law.(viii) That bare perusal of the impugned orders demonstrate that the same have been passed on flimsy grounds which have occasioned gross miscarriage of justice.Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the revisionist have also been placed forth before the Court.In the circumstances, we direct that the bail be granted to the appellant on conditions as may be imposed by the District and Sessions Judge, Faridabad.""The appellants have been convicted under Section 302/149, Indian Penal Code by the learned Sessions Judge and have been sentenced to imprisonment for life.Against the said conviction and sentence their appeal to the High Court is pending.Before the High Court application for suspension of sentence and bail was filed but the High Court rejected that prayer indicating therein that the applicants can renew their prayer for bail after one year.After the expiry of one year the second application was filed but the same has been rejected by the impugned order.There is no possibility of early hearing of the appeal in the High Court.In the aforesaid circumstances the applicants be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sehore.The appeal is disposed of accordingly."", this Court is of the view that the present criminal revision may be allowed and the revisionist may be released on bail.In the result, this revision succeeds and is allowed.The impugned judgment and order dated 6.12.2019 passed by Special Judge, POCSO Act, Allahabad in Criminal Appeal No.93 of 2019 (Ramesh Pal vs State of UP) and the order 16.7.2019 passed by Juvenile Justice Board, Prayagraj refusing the bail plea to the revisionist in Case No.42 of 2019 arising out of Case Crime No.0825 of 2018 under Section 363, 366, 376 IPC, Section 3 /4 POCSO Act and Section 3(2)(v) SC/ST Act, Police station Jhunsi District Prayagraj, are hereby set aside and reversed.The bail application of the revisionist stands allowed.Let the revisionist, Ramesh Pal through his natural guardian Ramraj Pal be released on bail in Case Crime No.0825 of 2018 under Section 363, 366, 376 IPC, Section 3 /4 POCSO Act and Section 3(2)(v) SC/ST Act, Police station Jhunsi District Prayagraj upon his natural guardian furnishing a personal bond with two solvent sureties of his relatives each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Juvenile Justice Board, Prayagraj subject to the following conditions:(i) That the natural guardian of the revisionist will furnish an undertaking that upon release on bail the juvenile will not be permitted to come into contact or association with any known criminal or allowed to be exposed to any moral, physical or psychological danger and further that the natural guardian will ensure that the juvenile will not repeat the offence.(ii) The revisionist and his natural guardian will report to the District Probation Officer on the first Wednesday of every calendar month commencing with the first Wednesday of December 2020 and if during any calendar month the first Wednesday falls on a holiday, then on the next following working day.","['Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366 in The Indian Penal

+"The case of the prosecution briefly runs as under:P.Ws.1 and 3 are spouses.P.Ws.2 and 4 are their sons.They are residing in Karunguzhi in Cuddalore district.On 25.3.2006, P.Ws.1 and 3 have left Puducherry.There was house-breaking.25 sovereigns of gold jewels and cash Rs.1,25,000/- were missing from the bureau.Inspite of search, they cannot be found.On 29.3.2007, at Vadalur Police station, P.W.1 gave Ex.P1 complaint to P.W.10 S.I. of Police.He registered this case (Ex.P10 F.I.R.).P.W.11 Inspector took up his investigation.He visited the scene house.Prepared Ex.P2 Observation Mahazar in the presence of P.W.6 and another person.Drew Ex.P11 Rough sketch.At a place, near Vadalur, P.W.1 seized gold chain from A-1 based on his confessional statement Ex.It was witnessed to by P.W.7 and one Rajendran.A-1 and A-2 in C.C.No.85 of 2006 on the file of the learned Judicial Magistrate No.III, Cudddalore are the revision petitioners.They were tried for the offences under Sections 457 and 380 I.P.C. before the said Court.To substantiate the charges, prosecution examined P.Ws.1 to 11, marked Ex.Relying on the said evidence, the trial Court convicted and sentenced them as under:(i) 457 I.P.C One year R.I. and fine Rs.1000/- each(ii) 380 I.P.C.One year R.I.and fine Rs.1000/- eachBoth sentences were directed to run concurrently.P.W.11 also recorded Ex.P7 confessional statement from A-2 in the presence of P.Ws.8 and 9 and recovered gold jewel under Mahazar in the presence of said witnesses.A-1 and A-2 were produced before the Court.Case properties were also produced before the Court.The trial Court solely relying on Sec.27 Evidence Act recoveries, convicted and sentenced them.Aggrieved, A-1 and A-2 preferred an appeal in C.A.No.73 of 2008 before the learned Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track Court No.2), Cuddalore.8 The learned Appellate Judge confirmed their conviction and sentence and dismissed the appeal.In the circumstances, they have directed this revision.The learned counsel for the revision petitioners contended that the available evidence as against A-1 and A-2 is Section 27 Evidence Act recovery.It is a make-believe affair.No prudent man will believe this artificial recovery.There is inconsistencies in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses.Further, the evidence of recovery witnesses would show that they have not actually seen the recoveries.Based on such evidence, a conviction cannot be sustained.In this connection, the learned counsel for the revision petitioners cited Vijayakumar @ Kutty Vs.State through Inspector of Police, Kovilpatti East Police Station, Thoothukudi Dist.(2012(1) MWN (Cr.) 463 (DB) and Chinna Pillai & another Vs.State through the Inspector of Police, Krishnagiri (MANU/TN/1068/2012).On the other hand, the learned Govt. Advocate (Crl.side) submitted that in this case the recovery evidence is clinching.The case properties were recovered based on the confessional statement of the accused.Recovery witnesses P.Ws.7 and 9 have clearly stated about recording of the confession and recovery of the gold items.This evidence is sufficient to convict the accused.In the circumstances, the trial Court as well as the Appellate Court have rightly convicted and punished them.I have anxiously considered the rival submissions, perused the impugned judgments, entire materials on record and also the decisions cited at the bar.Now, the question is whether the finding of guilty recorded by both the Courts below suffers from legality and propriety.This case is solely based on Sec.27 Evidence Act recovery.The recoveries were stated to have been effected by P.W.11 Investigation officer.M.Os.1 and 2 gold chain belong to P.W.1/defacto complainant who identified them as of his own.The question arose whether both Courts were right in recording finding of guilty solely based on the evidence of P.Ws.7, 9 and 11 and Ex.With respect to recovery from A-1, P.W.7 has been examined.The recoveries stated to have taken place nearly 6 months after the occurrence.In his chief examination, P.W.7 stated that at about 9.30 a.m., near tea stall, in Vadalur, A-1 was having 5-1/2 sovereigns of gold chain M.O.2 in his hand and some policemen were around him.A-1 is stated to be a robberer.Whether he would carry the stolen item/s openly is a million dollar question.No prudent man will believe this.Further, in his cross examination, P.W.7 stated that the police had obtained his signatures in some papers.It indicatesthat P.W.7 has not witnessed the recovery.The same is to be viewed along with the subsequent recovery stated to have been effected based on the confessional statement of A-1 from one Nataraj's land in Karunguzhi.With respect to the recovery from A-2, P.W.9 has been examined.P.W.9 says that at about 9.45 a.m. when he came out of Anandha Bhavan hotel in Vadalur, A-2 was having 2 sovereigns of gold chain in his hand and policemen were also there.He too did not directly witnessed the actual recovery of jewel.The other witness P.W.8 turned hostile.Further, P.W.9 flately stated that he did not know anything about the jewel.This evidence has also been recorded by the trial Court.From Exhibit P-4 confessional statement of the accused, the learned Principal Sessions Judge,Tuticorin, recorded that It means, if he is taken, from the concealed place, he will produce the bill-hook, which was used to kill Madasamy.Evidence recorded by the learned Principal Sessions Judge from the recovery witness P.W.10 Velusamy, V.A.O is also on similar line.The Trial Court had admitted in evidence the culpatory part of the confessional statement of the accused also.It is the duty of the Court to dissect the evidence regarding the confession and to; divide the sentence into its component parts and only admit that part, which led to the discovery of the particularfact, viz., the hidden property.''In this case, both the trial Court as well as the Appellate Court have failed to note this important aspect of law and they have not appreciated the said evidence in proper perspective.In the circumstances, the finding of guilty recorded by both the Courts based on such evidence suffers from legality and propriety.In the circumstances, ordered as under:(1) This Criminal revision is allowed.(2) The conviction recorded and sentence awarded by the trial Court as well as the Appellate Court are set aside.(3) The revision petitioners/A-1 and A-2 are acquitted under Section 457 and 380 I.P.C.(4) The fine amount paid shall be refunded to them.10.11.2016Index : Yes Internet : Yes vaanTo1 The Principal Sessions Judge, Cuddalore2 The Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Tract Court No.II), Cuddalore3 The Judicial Magistrate No.III, Cuddalore4 The Public Prosecutor, High Court, Madras5 The Superintendent, Central Prison, Cuddalore6 The Inspector of Police, Vadalur Police station.DR.P.DEVADASS, J., vaan Crl.R.C.No.16 of 201110.11.2016http://www.judis.nic.in","['Section 457 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 380 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"As per prosecution story, M.P. State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as ""MPSEDC"") is a body working under State of M.P. Department of Science and Technology.In the year 2012 Government of Madhya Pradesh appointed MPSEDC, as the Nodal Agency for MP e-procurement portal.MPSEDC selected M/s Tata Consultancy Services with Antares Systems Ltd. as the new Implementation Agency for end-to-end e-Procurement solutions.The New Service Providers undertook the Customization, Integration, Implementation and Maintenance of Single, Unitary, Web Based e- Procurement Software (Portal) with the specified modules which also include E-Tendering.Applicant Manohar M.N. was the Vice President of Antares Systems Ltd. and was the project in-charge on behalf of the company.Co-accused Nandkishor Brahme THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH M.Cr.C. No.35958/2019 (Manohar M.N. Vs.State of M.P through EOW.) 2 was posted as OSD in MPSEDC from the year 2012 and was assigned the duty as Nodal Officer of E-Tendering Project.In E- Tendering Project, MPSEDC made a platform available to various Government Departments for floating tenders.In the tendering processes the concerned Department which issued the tender uploaded its tender on the portal, on which last date of filing tender and the time of its opening was mentioned.While issuing the tender, the concerned officer also attached the public key of his digital signature.The tenderer after registering himself on MP e- Procurement portal filled the tender and after filing the tender, submitted the tender on the portal after it was encrypted by the public key of the officer concerned attached with the tender.After submission of the tender, no departmental officer, e-tendering company or other person could open the tender before its opening time.On 11th April, 2018 at the time of opening of three tenders Nos. 91, 93 & 94 floated by the Madhya Pradesh Jal Nigam Maryadit (here in after referred as ""MPJNM"") the computer displayed a message that ""the contents of the document had been modified"".On that service provider company Antares Systems Ltd. was directed to submit the report after inquiry.In the first report given by the team of Antares Systems Ltd after examining the system they mentioned that there was no irregularity and only attributed the message to technical defect.However, they also stated that further technical analysis was going on.Thereafter, on 05/05/2019 Antares Systems Ltd. again gave the Root Cause Analysis Report (R.C.A.) mentioning therein that the tenders had been tampered with.On that the then Managing Director of MPSIDC informed MPJNM for canceling these bids and also directed Antares Systems Ltd. to enquire all the tenders, which were floated by the various Government department between 01/01/2018 to 30/04/2018 on E-Portal.On that the team of employees of Antares Systems Ltd.THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH M.Cr.C. No.35958/2019 (Manohar M.N. Vs.State of M.P through EOW.) 3 again enquired the matter and gave the report to the effect that during the check period six other tenders i.e. tender of MP Road Development Corporation No.786, Public Works Department Tender Nos. 49813, 49982 & 49985 and tender of Water Resources Department Nos. 10030 & 10044 were also manipulated similarly.During the performance test, OSMO was provided with user IDs and Bidder IDs by the Antares Ltd. In the month of June, 2016 OSMO stated that it was not able to conduct a performance test of the whole system and thus could not complete the process of testing.It is further stated that the manipulation was done by one of the user ID and bid IDs.For manipulating the tenders of MPJNM, a demo file was created on MP e-procurement portal.That file was created using ID PT 4, which was given to OSMO IT Solutions at the time of performance testing and they also used digital signature certificate (DSC) of Keshav Rao Uikey.The SIM of this mobile number was registered in the name of co-accused Varun Chaturvedi and was being used by co-accused Vinay Choudhary.State of M.P through EOW.) 5 using bidder ID number 15597 and vendor ID number QK 829 846 pasted the said bids in demo file.Thus, they were able to see the figures/bids submitted by all the bidders in encrypted form.Applicant Manohar M.N. was the Vice President of Antraes Systems Ltd and was the project in-charge of e- Procurement Softwar (Portal) on behalf of the company.Heard with the aid of case diary.The first bail application of the applicant has been dismissed on merits vide order dated 25.06.2019 passed in M.Cr.Thereupon, on the direction of Chief Secretary of M.P. Government a preliminary enquiry was conducted by the Economic Offence Wing.In the preliminary enquiry it was found that after changing the bid price of tender Nos. 91, 93 & 94 of MPJNM amounting to Rs.1,769 crore the M/s GVPR Engineers Limited Hyderabad for tender No.91, M/s the Hume Pipe Company Limited Mumbai for tender No. 93 and M/s JMC Projects India Limited Mumbai for tender No. 94 were made lowest bidder (L1), likewise by tampering the two tenders of the Public Works Department Tenders Nos.49985 & 49982 amounting to Rs.13.46 crores, M/s Ramkumar Narwani Bhopal, were made lowest bidder, in the Tender no. 4981319 amounting to 15 crores, Sorathiya Velji Ratna and Company Vadodara were made lowest bidder.After tampering the tender of Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation amounting to Rs.7.86 crores M/s Madhav Infra projects Vadodara, Water Resources Department tender Nos.10030 & 10044 total amounting to Rs.1135 Crore, M/s Max Mantena Micro JV Hyderabad and Sorathiya Velji Ratna Baroda were made a lowest bidder (L-1), due to which companies earned illegal profits.On the basis of that preliminary evidences and findings of a probe report of the Computer Emergency Response Team, New Delhi, Crime No.12/2019 was registered at Economic Offences Wing, Bhopal (M.P.) for the offence punishable under Sections 120- B, 420, 468, 471 of the IPC, Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 and Section 7 read with Section 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act against applicant and other co-accused persons.THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH M.Cr.C. No.35958/2019 (Manohar M.N. Vs.Thereafter, hackers entered into the database through the staging server, where original tenders were stored and this process was done through virtual private network (VPN), the access of which was only with co-accused Nandkishore Bramhe.After reaching the database server hackers accessed the file where the original tenders were saved.They copied the details of all the bidders, who submitted the bids, which were encrypted.After copying the bids they again came back to the demo tender file created by them earlier and by THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH M.Cr.C. No.35958/2019 (Manohar M.N. Vs.After seeing the amount filed by each bidder another demo file was created in the second demo file, the encrypted bids as visible in the first demo file were pasted in the second demo file.Again by using the bidder ID No.15597 having vendor ID number QK29846 they manipulated the bids and made the person they wanted to benefit as the lowest bidder (L-1).After making the change in the second demo file and placing a wrong bidder L-1 hackers copied the encrypted/manipulated bid value and again by using the staging server reached the database server through a VPN, access of which was given to co-accused Nandkishore Bramhe, opened the original tender file and pasted the said encrypted manipulated bid value next to the name of the bidder they wanted to benefit and thus manipulated the bids.Learned counsel of the applicant submitted that the applicant is nowhere involved in that scam.He is the Assistant vice President of the ASL Company.ASL is a company specializing in software management particularly pertaining to the public e-procurement, since the year 1997 and ever since has been working to the satisfaction of the Government Agencies throughout the Country.ASL has continuously been providing the software e-procurement services to the State of Punjab, Goa and certain other States.C. No.35958/2019 (Manohar M.N. Vs.State of M.P through EOW.) 6 and looking to the reputation of the companies and other relevant factors.TCS along with ASL were successful bidders and accordingly a Tri- Party agreement was executed between MPSEDC, ASL and TCS.It is further submitted that they had a pre-defined duty in their respective expertise in managing the aforesaid e- procurement portal.Accordingly, the security of the portal entirely rested with MPSEDC.In this regard applicant is also filed the copy of said Tri-Party agreement.The bids were altered at the user ID level, which had nothing to do with the operations of the software functions, which was being performed by ASL.The applicant has falsely been implicated in the crime.On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent/EOW opposed the prayer and submitted that the whole responsibility of security of e-procurement portal was with the applicant Manohar M.N. since he was the head of Antares in respect of e-procurement portal at Bhopal.In the latter produced by Suresh Kumar CEO of Antares this fact is mentioned.Applicant Manohar M.N. was hand and gloves with all the co-accused persons and just to benefit them came with the first report dated 17/04/2018 that there was no tempering in the bids.Even prior to that Antares also sent an Email THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH M.Cr.C. No.35958/2019 (Manohar M.N. Vs.State of M.P through EOW.) 7 on 11/04/2018 mentioning that no irregularity was found.Later, when the said tempering came to the knowledge of higher officials second finding report was given accepting that the tempering had happened in the whole tendering process, which shows that he was also involved in the conspiracy.No manipulation could have taken place without the knowledge of applicant Manohar M.N. The demo files which were used in the manipulation in the bids were created and made available to OSMO by the applicant Manohar M.N. and by using the bidder ID, bids were changed and manipulated.On the request of co-accused Nandkishore Brahme VPN Access was given to him, which was also used by the Antares from his Bangalore office for maintenance of the eprocurement portal.That VPN was used in the tender manipulation.By assessing the database through the staging server, data had been read from genuine tenders and copied to blank tenders name Demo.The said faulty process was created by applicant Manohar M.N. so that the other co-accused persons could access the main database seamlessly and manipulation could be done.Although earlier bail application of the applicant was rejected on merit by this Court vide order dated 25.06.2019 passed in M.Cr.It is alleged that the demo files which were used in the manipulation in the bids were created and made available THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH M.Cr.C.

+"JUDGMENT Vaidya, J.The State has filed the above appeals against the orders of acquittal passed by the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Manmad, on October 28, 1967, in two criminal cases before him, both of which related to an incident which took place at about 7-30 p.m. on October 7, 1966, in Manmad.The first information in one case was given by one Zumbarlal Rajmal Chajed and the first information in the other case was given by one Parasmal Mesulal Jain relating to the said incident.As these two appeals relate to the same incident and involve a common question of law, they can be disposed of by a single judgment.Criminal Appeal No. 238 of 1968 arises out of Criminal case No. 778 of 1966 before the said Magistrate.A chargesheet was filed before him on October 15, 1966, against the seven respondents in that appeal, viz., (1) Bherulal Dagdulal Jain, (2) Kantilal Dagdulal Bardiya, (3) Madanlal Panalal Bardiya, (4) Dharmachand Dagduram Bardiya, (5) Parasmal Bherulal Bardiya, (6) Balu Kondaji Karde and (7) Shridhar Waman Paliwal.It was alleged in the said charge-sheet by the Police Sub-Inspector, Manmad city, that on October 7, 1966, at 7-30 p.m., the seven accused formed an unlawful assembly in an open street of Manmad city inasmuch as, as a result of a meeting of a bank, they entertained a common object of beating the complainant Zumbarlal Rajmal Chajed and witneses Amarchand Babulal Chajed, Manakchand Rajmal Chajed and Motilal Rajmal Chajed and in pursuance of that common object, they voluntarily caused injuries to them with blows and kicks and with wooden pieces and bamboo sticks and also abused them and threatened to kill them and thereby committed offences under Sections 147, 148, 323, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.Thereafter the case was adjourned from time to time for various reasons till March 17, 1967, when the parties filed an application exh.15 signed by the complainant Zumbarlal, the seven accused persons and the witnesses who were alleged to have been hurt in the course of riot.This application was objected to on behalf of the prosecution on the ground that by law, partial compounding was not allowed and if the parties wanted withdrawal, they should move the District Magistrate in respect of the offences mentioned in the charge-sheet.The Judicial Magistrate, however, passed the following order on that very day:It may be noted here that in the application exh.15 the complainant, the accused and the witnesses referred to above had mentioned that the compromise was arrived at as a result of the efforts of many gentlemen and leaders.It also stated that the signatories to exh.15 belonged to merchant class and respectable families and as a result of this compromise, the relations among them were as they were before the incident and had become very harmonious and peaceful.On April 14, 1967, the accused filed an application exh.17 for adjournment of the case stating that they had applied to the District Magistrate for withdrawing the case and that application was not decided.It is most regrettable that the District Magistrate does not appear to have passed any order with regard to the withdrawal inspite of the waiting by the parties and the Court for more than four months.On August 4, 1967, the Judicial Magistrate who had succeeded the previous Judicial Magistrate framed a charge against the seven accused under Section 148 of the Indian Penal Code, the material portion of which was as under:That you on or about the 7-10-60 at 7-30 P.M. at Manmad were members of an unlawful assembly and did in prosecution of common object of such assembly, viz., to cause hurt to Zumbarmal Chhajed, committed the offence of rioting and at that time were armed with deadly weapons and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 148 of the Indian Penal Code....The accused pleaded not guilty to the said charge.After framing the charge, the case was adjourned from time to time till September 20, 1967, when prosecution witness No. 1 Zumbarlal, the complainant, was examined as a witness.He proved his first information before the police at exh.Immediately after his evidence was recorded, an application was filed by the pleader for the accused submitting as under:The police have chargesheeted the accused under sections 147, 323, 504, 506, 34, I.P.C. Except under Section 147, I.P.C., the offences under other sections are compoundable and are compounded.The complainant has averred that he has compounded the offence under Section 147, I.P.C. also.He does not intend to proceed with the trial.It is therefore requested that the accused may please be acquitted.This application was resisted on behalf of the prosecution on several grounds.The learned Magistrate, however, overruled the objections on behalf of the prosecution and following the decision of the Patna High Court in Ramphal v. State of Bihar (1964) 2 Cr. L. J. 111, came to the conclusion that since the main offences were compounded, there could not be a trial of the offence under Section 148, Indian Penal Code.He also relied on a judgment of the Assistant Judge of Nasik which was cited before him.He concluded that the offence under Section 148, Indian Penal Code must fail as the main offences have been compounded.He, therefore, acquitted accused Nos. 1 to 7 of the offence under Section 148 of the Indian Penal Code.In Criminal Appeal No. 240 of 1948 also the charge-sheet was filed on October 15, 1966, against the seven accused, viz., (1) Amarchand Babulal Chajed, (2) Babulal Rajmal Chajed, (3) Zumbarlal Rajmal Chajed, (4) Manakchand Rajmal Chajed, (5) Motilal Rajmal Chajed, (6) Bhaskar Shankar Nagare, (7) Sakharam Gopinath Barde.It may be noted that the accused Zumbarlal was the complainant in the other case.The accused Amarchand, Babulal Manakchand and Motilal were cited as witnesses in the other case.This case also took a parallel course to the other case and an application exh.15 was filed on March 17, 1967, i.e., on the same day on which exh.15 was filed in the other case and with the same contents signed by the complainant, the accused and the injured witnesses who were cited in the charge-sheet.The application was opposed on the same grounds on behalf of the prosecution and the learned Magistrate on the very day passed an order as follows:Thereafter an application was filed on September 20, 1967, which was similar to the application exh.27 in the other case.It is difficult to understand from the report as to how inspite of the composition of the offence under Section 447, there was a conviction under Sections 143 and 447 of the Indian Penal Code, which conviction was upheld by Wallace J. It may be that the circumstances in that case showed that the two offences were distinct.No point arose in that ease as to whether the alleged offence under Section 447 was distinct from the offence under Section 143, although Wallace J. has pointed out that on a construction of Section 143 itself an offence under Section 143 was distinct from the criminal offence which the persons agreed and intended to commit.This led to hot words.On the following day at about 8 or 8-30 a.m., Ramphal Gope and others, who were the accused ill that case, came to the house of Ramdeo and demanded the price at once.The accused assaulted Ramdeo.Some of them went to the police.The police filed two charge-sheets against the fourteen accused who are involved in the two cases.In the result, both the appeals are dismissed.","['Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 504 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 143 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 447 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 279 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 337 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 511 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No. 467 of 1988 Gofur Sheikh & Ors.Versus The State & Anr.This appeal is directed against an order of conviction under Section 304 Part II, read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentence of rigorous imprisonment for three years with fine and default clause.The appellant in the instant appeal along with another were placed on trial before the Learned Additional Sessions Judge, 2nd Court, Nadia, to answer a charges under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.After trial while the Learned Sessions Judge acquitted the accused Sefali Sheikh @ Bibi, but convicted the present three appellants under Section 304 Part II read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced each of them to suffer rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine of Rs. 2000/- and in default to suffer rigorous imprisonment for six months.Upon a FIR being lodged with the aforesaid allegations a First Information Report under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code was registered.After completion of investigation police also submitted charge-sheet for the self-same offence.Subsequently, the appellant and another Sefali Sheikh were placed on trial before the Learned Sessions Judge, 2nd Court, Nadia to answer a charge under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.In the trial while present three appellants were convicted under Section 304 Part II/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code, the other accused Sefali Sheikh was acquitted.During the trial prosecution in order to establish its case examined as many as 10 witnesses.Out of them P.W. 1, Marjina Bewa, the sister of the deceased, P.W. 2 Momena Bewa, wife of the deceased, P.W. 3 Selina Bibi, sister of the deceased and P.W. 5 Asrajan Bewa, mother of the deceased claimed to be the eye witnesses of the occurrence.While P.W. 4 Kurban Sheikh is a post occurrence witness.P.W. 6 Dr. Bimalendu Tarafdar is the doctor to whom injured Hossain Sheikh, was brought at Santipur General Hospital.P.W. 8 Dr. Swarup Kundu is the Autopsy Surgeon.P.W. 9 is a Judicial Magistrate.P.W. 7 is a police constable and P.W. 10 is the Investigating Officer of the case.In addition to that prosecution has relied on a retracted confessional statement of accused Gofur Sheikh (Exhibit - 4).Heard Mr. Abhijit Basu, the learned advocate appearing on behalf of the appellants as well as Mr. Swapan Kumar Mallick, the learned advocate appearing on behalf of the State.Perused the evidence on record as well as other materials viz. the confessional statement of the accused, First Information Report etc.According to the P.W. 1, the defacto-complainant of the case after arriving at the house of the accused Gofur along with Momena Bewa wife of Hossain and her mother Asrajan, she found that accused Johur was assaulting Hossain with fist and blows, when the accused Sefali, Gofur, Ikramul were present there.She also noticed that blood was oozing out from his abdomen.Thereafter, Hossain was taken to their house and he stated to them that Ikramul hit on his belly by a Kirich.Her allegations that she went to the house of Gofur with Selina, wife of the Hossain Momena and her mother and found accused Johur was assaulting Hossain by fist and blows and Hossain told her that accused Ikramul assaulted him on his abdomen with one Kirich was contradicted during her cross- examination with reference to her allegations made by her in the First Information Report.It appears in the FIR no such allegation was made.According to the P.W. 2 Momena Bewa, the wife of the deceased Hossain when she arrived at the place of occurrence with others she found her husband Hossain Sheikh was standing pressing his abdomen and Ikramul was cleaning a bloodstained knife.In her cross-examination she was contradicted with her allegations that she found Ikramul cleaning a bloodstained knife.It appears from the examination of the Investigating Officer of the case that no such statement was made by her to the police during investigation.The witness has not stated anything about the presence of any of the appellants at the spot except Ikramul.P.W. 3 Selina Bibi stated that as she along with other witnesses reached Gofur's house noticed that Johur was assaulting Hossain with fist and blows catching his collar.She also noticed one injury in the abdomen of Hossain and Hossain told him that wife of Gofur caused such injury.Her allegation that Gofur was assaulting Hossain by fist and blows by catching his collar stand contradicted with reference to her statement before the police.According to the Investigating Officer of the case no such statement was made to him.This witness had not stated about the presence of any other appellants except Johur.P.W. 5 Asrajan Bewa stated in her evidence that having reached the house of Gofur she found that Johur was assaulting Hossain by catching his collar.At the time she noticed that Hossain received a bleeding injury on his abdomen and told her that wife of the Gofur caused such injury.This witness admitted that she was never examined by the police and she not stated anything to the police about the incident as was stated in her chief.This witness also mentioned anything about the presence of Ikramul at the spot.All the witnesses however stated that Hossain went to the house of Gofur on being called by his wife Sefali Sheikh Having carefully perusing the evidence on record I find that the wife of the deceased P.W. 2 Momena Bewa has not made any claim that her husband disclosed who caused the injury.While according to P.W. 1 Marjina Bewa, the deceased Hossain told her that he was assaulted by Ikramul but P.W. 3 Selina Bibi and P.W. 5 Asrajan Bewa both stated that Hossain told them that the injury was caused by Sefali Sheikh, the wife of the Gofur Sheikh.However, Sefali Sheikh has been acquitted in the trial.Since the alleged dying declaration of Hossain Sheikh made to the witnesses as regards to his assailants is contradictory and none of the said witnesses during investigation made disclosure to the police about such dying declaration I am not inclined to act thereupon.It is also to be noted although according to the prosecution case the P.W. 2 Momena Bewa, the wife of the deceased Hossain rushed to the spot together with other witnesses viz. P.W. 1, P.W. 3 and P.W. 5 but she was silent about any disclosure by Hossain.It is well settled a confession without corroboration can very well be acted upon to record conviction but as a rule of prudence court must seek other circumstances to corroborate a confession particularly when the same is retracted although each and every circumstances mentioned in the confessional statement is not required to be corroborated separately and independently but the broad fact of the confession must be corroborated.In the instant case, this court already declined to rely on the evidence of the alleged eye witnesses to the occurrence as their statement stands contradicted on very vital and material points.Moreover, the story spelt out by the appellant Gofur Sheikh in his retracted confession has not been corroborated by any evidence.The appellant Gofur in his confession allegedly claimed to be responsible for causing injuries but claimed that he has not caused such injury with the intention to kill the deceased but he did so when he found that deceased was attempting to rape his wife and being apprehended by him was trying to flee away.None of the witnesses implicated accused Gofur for causing injury on the deceased Hossain.For the reasons stated above, I am of the opinion that prosecution has not been able to prove its case and thus the impugned order of conviction cannot be sustained.In the result appeal succeeds and stands allowed.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mathurand Ravinder Narain, for respondent No. 1.The Judgment of the Court was delivered byShah, J. The appellant, Mrs. Menezes, is the owner of a123124house in Bombay, and the wife of the first respondent YusufKhan is a tenant of a part of the first floor in that house.On January 17, 1963 one Robert-a servant of the appellant,called the wife of the first respondent a thief and'Halkat'.On the next day the first respondent slapped theface of Robert.This was followed by a heated exchange ofabusive words between the first respondent and theappellant's husband.The first respondent was annoyed andthrew at the appellant's husband a ""file"" of papers.Thefile did not hit the appellant's husband, but it hit theelbow of the appellant causing a ""scratch"".The appellantlodged information at the Bandra police station complainingthat the first respondent had committed house trespass inorder to the committing of an offence punishable withimprisonment, had thrown a shoe at her, had slapped the faceof her servant Robert, and had also caused her a ""bleedingincised wound on the forearm"".The version of the appellantwas a gross exaggeration of the incident.The Officer incharge of the police station was persuaded to enter upon aninvestigation on this information, which by charging therespondent with the offence of trespass was made to appearas if a cognizable offence was committed.The Sub-Inspectorfound that the appellant had suffered a mere scratch on herelbow.The appellant and Robert declined to go to a publichospital for examination or treatment, and were, it isclaimed, examined by a private medical practitioner, whocertified that the appellant bad suffered a ""bleedingincised wound, skin deep, size 1"" in length on the rightforearm"", and that Robert had ""a swelling about 1 1/2 "" indiameter, roundish, soft and tender"", but no bruises.The offence was petty, but was given undue importance.Thecase was transferred from the Court of the PresidencyMagistrate, Bandra, to the Court of the PresidencyMagistrate VI Court, Mazagaon, Bombay, and was entrusted toa special prosecutor on behalf of the State.The TrialMagistrate held that the story that the first respondent hadtrespassed into the house of the appellant was false and thecharge of trespass was made only with a view to persuade thepolice officer to investigate it as a cognizable offence.The story of the appellant that the first respondent hadhurled a shoe at her was also disbelieved.The TrialMagistrate held that simple injuries were caused to Robertand to the appellant and for causing those injuries heconvicted the first respondent of the offence under S. 323I.P.

+"For the Appellant : Shri Neeraj Ashar, Advocate.For the Respondent/State : Shri Amit Pandey, Panel Lawyer.Date of hearing : 28/02/2012 Date of judgment: 28/02/2012 (J U D G M E N T ) Appellant has filed this appeal against the judgment dated 6th January, 1999, passed by First Additional Special Judge, Rewa in Special Case No. 11/1995, convicting the appellant under Sections 323 and 342 of the Indian Penal Code and sentencing him to rigorous imprisonment for one year with fine of Rs. 500/-, on each count respectively.In short, the prosecution case is that on 18.6.1995 at about 5 O' clock in the morning, appellant went at the house of Dhanai Basore and forcibly carried him to his shop.He confined him there and assaulted saying that his pigs entered his house.Hearing his hue and cry, his son (2) Cr.Police and other persons rescued Dhanai and sent him to Primary Health Centre, Teonthar.Since Dhanai belonged to Scheduled Caste, a case under Section 3(i)(x) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (for brevity `the Act') and Sections 323, 506-B and 342 of the Indian Penal Code was registered.After investigation, charge sheet was filed against the appellant and the case was committed for trial.After appreciating the evidence of complainant, other eye witnesses and the medical evidence of Dr. Ramesh Kumar Mishra (PW13), learned Special Judge found that the charge under Section 3(1)(x) of the Act was not made out, but it stood proved that appellant confined and assaulted Dhanai.Accordingly, appellant was convicted under Sections 342 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code.Aggrieved by his conviction and sentence, appellant has filed this appeal.Learned counsel for the appellant has not assailed the finding of conviction of appellant.He, however submitted that in view of the fact that the incident occurred in the year 1995 and about 17 years had elapsed, the sentence of imprisonment of appellant be reduced to the period already undergone by him.He submitted that appellant remained in jail for four days.On the other hand, learned counsel for the State (3) Cr.233/1999 contended that the sentence imposed by the Court below was appropriate and adequate in the facts and circumstances of the case.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the impugned judgment and the evidence on record.On perusal of record, I find that Dhanai (PW1) categorically stated that appellant assaulted him with fists and kicks and forcibly carried him to his shop and confined him.Hearing his shouts, his wife, son and daughter- in-law came there and rescued him.As a result of assault, he suffered injuries on his head and chest.He stated that appellant had constructed a house in his courtyard, therefore, he created dispute.Appellant wished that he should leave the place vacant for him.He stated that except assaulting and confining him, appellant did not say anything else to him.The evidence of Dhanai (PW1) finds support from the evidence of his wife Gendaua (PW2), Indrakali (PW3), Brijbhan (PW4), Anarkali (PW5), Chhabilal (PW6) and Ramchandra Paul (PW9).Independent witness Radhika Prasad Tiwari (PW12) also stated that Dhanai was rescued from the house of appellant infront of him.Dr. Ramesh Kumar Mishra (PW13) examined the injuries of Dhanai and found following injuries on his body:(i) Lacerated wound 1cm x 1/2 cm x 1/2cm in frontal region of skull on eye brow,(ii) contusion with swelling on the left side of his face & (4) Cr.(iii) contusion with swelling on the left thigh.In the opinion of doctor, these injuries were caused by hard and blunt object.They were simple in nature.Injury report Ex. P/7 was written and singed by him.From the above evidence, it is amply established that Dhanai (PW1) was assaulted by appellant.From the evidence of complainant and other witnesses, it is also established that appellant confined Dhanai in his shop.After perusal of the above evidence, I am satisfied that learned Special Judge committed no error in holding the appellant guilty of the charges under Sections 342 and 323 of the Indian Penal Code.About 17 years have elapsed since then.Appellant is now an elderly person of about 56 years of age.There is nothing on record to indicate that he is a person of bad antecedents or is a previous convict.I find substance in the submission of learned counsel for the appellant that no useful purpose would be served if appellant is sent back to jail for serving out further jail sentence.In this view of the matter, I deem it proper to reduce the jail sentence of appellant to the period of custody already suffered by him which comes to about four days, however, with enhancement of fine.Accordingly, the jail sentence of appellant on both counts is reduced to the period of sentence already undergone by him.The amount of fine (5) Cr.233/1999 imposed upon the appellant under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code is enhanced to Rs. 1000/- and the fine imposed upon him under Section 342 of the Indian Penal Code is also enhanced to Rs. 1000/-.The fine amount already deposited by the appellant shall be adjusted in calculating the total amount of fines.In case of failure of the appellant to deposit the fine amount, he shall undergo simple imprisonment for a period of two months.The amount of fine shall be deposited in the trial Court within a period of two months.Appeal partly allowed.(RAKESH SAKSENA) JUDGE AD/","['Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"However, the prosecution and the defence versions about the incident are divergent.It is also not disputed that in spite of both these versions, the genesis is the same, namely on 14-3-1984 there was some wrangling between P. W. 3 Achchelal and Lalta son of appellant Motilai.P.W. 4 Bhajna, aged about 12 years, is son of P.W. 3 Achchelal and he is a grazier-boy.Bhajna had refused to graze the cattle of Lalta and had even complained to his father that the appellant Motilal's son Lalta insists upon grazing their cattle arid Bhajna was even beaten when he refused to graze their cattle.In that context, P.W. 3 Achchelal had rebuked Lalta, s/o appellant Motilai.In the above background, the case for the prosecution is that on Bhajna's refusal to graze cattle, Lalta had beaten Bhajna.On 14-3-1984 at or about 8 p.m., P.W. 3 Achchelal inquired from Lalta as to why he forces Bhajna to graze his cattle and why he beats him when he refuses.That Lalta should desist from forcing Bhajna to take cattle and should also desist from beating him.At that, it is said, Lalta repeatedly said that he would beat Bhajna if he refused to graze cattle.Raghuvar (deceased) also came at the place of incident and tried to pacify Lalta but Lalta was-persistent and gave the same reply.At that Raghuvar said that if he beats Bhajna, he too would be beaten.Lalta got angry, and went away.Soon thereafter all the five appellants arrived.Ram Kinker was armed with a Farsa and other with sticks.Ram Kinker is said to have assaulted Raghuvar with Farsa and the latter fell down.Jageshwar (P.W. 7), Ramjas (P.W. 9), Ishwardin.(P.W. 12) and Kailash (P.W. 13) who were present in the vicinity, intervened and in turn they too were assaulted, by the appellants causing them injuries.Raghuvar died on the spot.The deceased was taken to the police station, Nagod in a DOLI where F.I.R. (Ex.P-8) was lodged by P.W. 7 Jageshwar.The F.LR.JUDGMENT Y.B. Suryavanshi, J.The five appellants, namely, Motilai, Shankar s/o Motilai, Shiv.The convictions and sentences are as follows:It is not in dispute that on 14-3-1984 at village Gunhar, P. S; Nagod, there was some incident with Raghuvar (deceased) and the two appellant Motilai and Ram Kinker, who are respectively father and son.was recorded by P.W. 14 Mishra, S.I. and inquest memo was prepared and the injured were sent for medical examination and the body of Raghuvar was sent for post mortem.During investigation, P.W. 14 Mishra, I.O., is said to have seized weapons from the appellant, but that aspect is not material in this appeal.Ultimately, the five appellants were charge sheeted under various sections, i.e. 147, 148, 302/149, 323 and 325/149, Indian Penal Code.The appellants abjured their guilt.The defence plea of appellants Shankar and Shiv Kumar is that they had gone to a different village to bring their sisters and were not present on the day of the alleged incident at the alleged time (alibi).The defence version .about the incident is that the appellant Motilal along with his son Rani Kinker had gone to the house of P.W. 3 Achchelal just for ULHANA, i.e. scolding, since Achchelal had rebuked Lalta.Prosecution witnesses Ramjas, Harishankar, Jageshwaf, Kailash, Ishwardin and Raghuvar were also sitting there, Raghuvar (deceased) abused Ram Kinker, while the latter was returning to his house and also dealt a blow on the head of Ram Kinker.On hearing the alarm raised by Ram Kinker, Motilal went there, but he too was assaulted by the deceased and the above said witnesses.To save themselves, both the appellants Motilal and Ram Kinker went inside the house of Ramkhilavan Brahmin, who lives near the place of incident.Thus, Motilal and Ram Kinker allegedly acted in self-defence.Furthermore, both of them were assaulted and sustained injuries.They also went to the police station and were sent for medical examination.While denying the prosecution version, stated above, the defence has projected the above version and totally denied the prosecution case about forming any unlawful assembly with common object as alleged by the prosecution.Alternatively, it was also submitted that it is a case of free fight and the appellants Shanker, Shiv Kumar and Lalman have been falsely implicated.Both counsel heard.Record perused.Since injuries sustained by both sides figured at length during arguments, it will be convenient at this stage to consider the extent and nature of injuries sustained on both sides.P.W. 8 Dr. Sharma performed the post mortem examination on the body of Raghuvar and had deposed as follows:(A) Raghuvar External Injury:One incised wound on the posterior aspect of right arm with defused spelling just above the elbow joint, present on the posterior aspect of right arm with clear cut everted margins spertdle in shape oblique in direction, size 2 cm.x 11/2 cm.x 1 cm.There was no evidence of fracture of bone............Two lacerated wounds:- One was placed on left parietal bone region obliquely placed above and downwards direction, size, 2 x 1 cms.There was fracture of left parietal bone fludy blood was coming out from fractured area.Second was a lacerated wound present on left parietal bone region which was 4 x 3 x 1 1/2 cm.Internal examination:On opening the first wound of the skull I found fracture of left parietal bone in the same area and blood was present below, the wound.........The cause of death was due to fracture of parietal bone and injuries to the vital organ, that is brain leading to shock and death..........

Injury No. 1 of Motilal was not dangerous to life, because it did not cause any injury to the brain.(Injury Report Ex.D-2).For the reason that both sides have sustained injuries, the learned trial Court first posed the question as to which side was the aggressor? The further findings and conclusions are: that the prosecution has proved the genesis of the incident; that for reasons stated in the judgment, the appellants were held aggressors as they had gone to the place of the incident to teach Raghuvar a lesson; that what he has uttered to Lalta, namely, that if you beat Bhajna, you too would meet the same fate; that the presence of eye-witnesses in this case, namely, P.W. 7 Jageshwar, P.W. 9 Ramjas, P.W. 12 Ishwardin and P.W. 13 Kailash could not be disputed because even in the defence version their presence in admitted and, moreover, they are the injured persons whose presence is guaranteed at the time of the incident; that the oral evidence about the assault by the appellants is well-established; that the oral evidence is further corroborated by the F.I.R., which was lodged promptly and there was no time for deliberations and concoction; that there is no inconsistency between the oral and medical evidence; that the defence, for which D.W. 2 Betalal has been examined is false; that the injuries on the two accused are not grievous and merely for the absence of any explanation about these injuries, the prosecution evidence could not be discarded; that the appellants had constituted unlawful assembly and were armed with weapons alleged and in furtherance of the common object the incident occurred.Thus, the prosecution version was relied and the defence version was disbelieved.Accordingly the appellants have been convicted as stated earlier.Genesis of the incident: This furnishes a satisfactory clue to the incident.On a perusal of the statements of P.W. 3 Achchelal and P.W. 4 Bhajna, we find that the appellant Motilal's son Lalta wanted Bhajna to graze his cattle.On his refusal, Lalta had dealt fist blows.Naturally the grazier-boy complained to his father P.W. 3 Achchelal.There is a water-tap at some short distance from the house of Achchelal and when at about 8 p.m. Lalta had gone there for a wash, Achchelal on that occasion inquired as to why-lie had beaten his son (Bhajna).Lalta said that he would be beaten like that and the cattle will be grazed by him.Raghuvar (deceased) was meanwhile returning from the field and was going towards his house.It has come in evidence that the deceased was not related to P.W. 3 Achchelal or P.W. 4 Bhajna, but he intervened saying that Lalta should not beat Bhajna.Lalta obstinately and adamantly retorted saying that he will beat him like that and get their cattle grazed by him.However, Raghuvar is alleged to have told him that if he beats Bhajna he would be paid in the same coin.Lalta angrily left the place.Thus, the directly affected parties were P.W. 3 Achchelal and P.W. 4 Bhajna on the one hand and Lalta on the other and Raghuvar was merely a mediator.Raghuvar's utterances seemed to have pinched Lalta because close on the heels of that incident, the appellants shortly appeared at the scene of occurrence.We find no reason to disbelieve the evidence of P.W. 3 Achchelal and P.W. 4 Bhajna, who are not at all related to the deceased.In fact, after the alleged talks, P.W. 3 Achchelal and P.W. 4 Bhajna had gone away and had not seen the subsequent incident of assault.The only suggestion in para 3 of the cross-examination of Achchelal is that it is Achchelal and Raghuvar who.had gone to the house of Lalta and hurled abuses.Even P.W. 7 Jageshwar, P.W. 9 Ramjas and P.W. 12 Ishwardin have deposed what P.W. 3 Achchelal and P.W. 4 Bhajna have stated about the conversations between Lalta and Bhajna's father and also between Raghuvar and Lalta.They are not chance witnesses.P.W. 7 Jageshwar, as stated by him, and also others, had his SAAR, i.e. cattle-shed near the place of incident.Me says that the above wrangling took place- near the house of P.W. 3 Achchelal.The other witnesss, i.e., P.W. 9 Ramjas and P.W. 12 Ishwardin had their houses at short distance, but at the relevant time both of them along with Harishankar were sitting on the chabutra of one Dadol and were busy making bidis.Their presence is not disputed even otherwise.Therefore, we are of the view that the findings of the trial Court that the genesis has been established by the prosecution is well merited.Incidentally, as the trial Court had also observed that the crux of the defence version is (so far as Motilal and Ram Kinker are concerned) that they had gone to the house of Achhelal only for U'LHANA, which means to scold him for rebuking Lalta.But there are no such suggestions in the cross-examination of P. W. 3 Achhelal and P. W. 4 Bhajna who were the concerned witnesses.On the other hand, the only solitary question put to P. W. 4 Bhajna is that it is Raghuvar and Achhelal who had gone to Lalta's house.in Velu Pillai Padakalingarn v. Paramandam, AIR 1954 SC 152, it was observed: every cross-examiner should and can if he is careful indicate in cross-exaniination, whichever part of the evidence given in examination-in-chief is challenged and an omission to do so would lead to the inference that the evidence is accepted subject of course to its being assailed as inherently improbable.Again in Sayed Aleem v. State of Karnataka, AIR 1980 SC 1708, it was observed that non-cross examination of prosecution witnesses of certain facts leads to admission of that fact that circumstances could be taken for consideration.Thus, non-cross examination, particularly P. W. 3 Achhelal and P. W. 4 Bhajna, on what is being projected in the defence, has been rightly held by the trial Court as sheer afterthought.It stands to reason that so far as Lalta is concerned, he was rebuked by father of Bhajna, i.e. Achhelal, and nothing more was necessary.It is the utterences of Raghuvar which raised the ire of the other side, since he must have gone and complained what Raghuvar had uttered.Then turning to the evidence of eye-witnesses, we find that according to P.W. 7 Jageshwar, all the five appellants were seen assaulting Raghuvar.He specifically asserts that the appellant Ram Kinker dealt blows with the Farsa on the head of Raghuvar and others assaulted with sticks.Raghuvar had fallen down.Ishwardin, Kailash and Ramjas intervened in the assault and they too sustained injuries which have already been described.The statements of Ramjas, Kailash and Ishwardin are to the same effect.The learned counsel Shri Datt strenously urged that all the four witnesses have spoken about two Farsa blows attributed to the appellant Ram Kinker, but the medical evidence shows that the deceased had only one incised wound which was on the right arm and the two lacerated wounds on the skull were obviously by hard and blunt object.The inconsistencies between the medical and ocular evidence related to the opinion of the doctor that the person who caused injuries to deceased was at a higher level than the deceased and.in view of other circumstances, the eye-witnesses were held not reliable, i.e., they had not seen the incident.The inconsistency in the case before us does not belie the eye-witnesses because the incident occurred during the night, though there is evidence that as electric bulb was on near the house of Achchelal.In the assault in which five appellants participated and many others intervened, there was bound to be some confusion about the movement and though the witnesses have spoken about assault i.e. two blows by Farsa they seem to have mistaken to notice whether the assault was by the sharp side or the blunt side of the Farsa.There was exchange of abuses between the two groups.The altercation soon developed into an usual fight.Both the parties were armed to protect themselves.P.W. 7 Jageshwar had four injuries, Kailash had one fracture of second metacarpel, and Ishwardin had had two simple injuries, as referred in para 6 supra.All injuries on the other side were caused in self-defence.It was also urged that injury No. 1 on appellant Ram Kinker and injuries 1 and 2 on appellant Motilal were intended on vital parts.But then, all these injuries were simple.Thus, the finding that the appellants were the aggressors, who went togethe and mounted a joint attack on Raghuvar and also attacked those who came to intervene, and then went away together after the assault, leads to the inevitable conclusion that they had constituted an unlawful assembly whose common object was to assault Raghuvar.Witnesses do not say that they have caused injuries on the appellants nor do they say that these were in self-defence, and yet, in the totality of circumstances this seems to be a reasonable inference.The prosecution has been fair enough and not one-sided because the injured appellants, when they went to the police station, were sent for medical examination, and were examined by Dr. Sharma.Therefore, on the ground of non-explanation of the injuries, we are not inclined to reject the prosecution case as its substratum has been proved otherwise satisfactorily.For the aforesaid reasons, this appeal is partly allowed.Adverting to the convictions and sentences already referred in para 1 of this judgment, the appellants are convicted and sentenced as under:(a) The conviction of appellant Ram Kinker under sections 148 and 325, Indian Penal Code (for causing hurt to Kailash) and the sentences awarded, namely, two years' R.I. and one year's R.I. respectively, are maintained.Instead, they are convicted under section 326 read with section 149, Indian Penal Code.Motilal was released on bail on ground of old age and he was in detention approximately for about a year or so.The ends of justice would meet by awarding R.I. for five years for an offence under section 326/149, Indian Penal Code.But the appellants Shiv Kumar, Lalman and Shankar for convictions under section 326/149, Indian Penal Code are sentenced to R.I. for seven years each;(c) The conviction of all of five appellants under section 323/149, Indian Penal Code for causing hurt to Jageshwar and six months' R.I. each are also maintained.The substantive sentences awarded to the appellants shall be concurrent.In view of section 428, Criminal Procedure Code the period of detention of the appellants in custody shall be set off against the sentences awarded.The bail bonds of appellant Motilal are cancelled.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code',

VI Additional District and Sessions Judge, Madurai, for trial.http://www.judis.nic.in 11The Trial Court framed four charges, as detailed below:When questioned, the accused pleaded ""not guilty"".To

the recovery was made after the identification parade.In order to suit their case against the accused, the prosecution made the false recovery, because, Raji (A1) was originally arrested on 23.08.2010 and on his confession M.Os.8http://www.judis.nic.in 14 to 10 were recovered.He, in his evidence, has stated about the lodging of complaint (Ex.P1).➢ One Kannan (P.W.2) is the neighbour of Manickam

registers recovered from Vaithyalinga Lodge have been marked as Exs.The registers recovered from Sivabakya Lodge have been marked as Exs.The registers recovered from Aalavai Lodge have been marked as Exs.The subsequent conduct of Raji (A1) in shifting his house is also elicited through the evidence of Alagarsamy (P.W.11) and Parvadhavardhini (P.W.12).After the occurrence, Raji (A1) in order to shift his house has approached Alagarsamy (P.W.11), housebroker, who arranged a house of Parvadhavardhini (P.W.12) for Raji (A1).By paying a sum of Rs.15,000/- as advance, on 21.08.2010, Raji (A1) obtained key from Parvadhavardhini (P.W.12) and on the next day, by saying that the key, which was already given to him, found missing, he had collected second key also.The evidence of Alagarsamy (P.W.11) and Parvadhavardhini (P.W.12) clearly elicit Raji's (A1's) conduct, which is also one of the circumstances and which draws inference against the accused.The Raji (A1) and Karthika (A2) were lastly seen in the house of Manickam Chettiar (deceased) by Pappaiah (P.W.4), who has also identified the accused during the test identification parade.Raja (P.W.9), Manager of Sivabakya Lodge has also identified Raji (A1) during the test identification parade.Furthermore, since the jewels were recovered from the accused, as per Section 114 of the Evidence Act, presumption shall fall upon the accused that they must be either the persons, who stolen the jewels or receivers of the stolen jewels.We are of the view that the prosecution has proved its case beyond all reasonable doubts and therefore, we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned judgment of the Trial Court.In the result, the Criminal Appeal fails and it is dismissed.Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is

or P.W.3 weretrying to rescue the deceased.The conduct of P.Ws.1 to 3 seems to beunusual and therefore, their presence in the place of occurrence is doubtedand further on a combined reading of the evidences of P.Ws.1 to 3 along withthe evidence of P.W.8, who is the scribe the complaint, we find a lot ofinfirmities and contradictions between their evidences.As afore stated, including P.W.1 there were three witnesses.In spite of this, P.Ws.1 to 3 havenot properly explained as to why they were not making any attempt to savethe deceased.With regard to the lodging of the complaint, P.W.1 saysthat

Mayil Vahana Rajendran, learned Additional PublicProsecutor appearing for the appellant and Mr.M.Karunanithi, learned counselappearing for the respondents/accused.Before we go into the merits of the case , we would like tohighlight that the prosecution witnesses 4 to 7, 9 to 11, 13 and 15 have notsupported the case of the prosecution as they have turned hostile.Barring their evidences, the remaining witnesses P.Ws.1 to3, who claim to be the eye witnesses and P.W.8, who is the scribe of thecomplaint Ex.P.1 and the testimonies of P.W.12 are available.Apart from this, the testimonies of official witnesses,i.e., P.W.14 Post Mortem Dr. Rajmohan and other official witnesses P.W.16and P.W.21 are also available.However, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor hasadverted to that the learned trial Judge had failed to weigh theirtestimonies with proper care and caution.He has also submitted that the learned trial Judge has notassigned any reason for disbelieving the first information Ex.P.1 which waslodged before P.W.21 by P.W.1 accompanied by P.W.8 immediately after theoccurrence.He has also submitted that the testimonies of P.Ws.1 to 3are cogent, convincing and corroborate with each other.However, theirtestimonies were discarded by the learned trial Judge for the reasons bestknown to him.He has maintained that the learned trial Judge has notproperly explained as to how the medical evidence adduced by P.W.14 andthe post mortem report under Ex.On the other hand, the learned counsel appearing for therespondents/accused has submitted that the learned trial Judge has properlyappreciated and weighed the testimonies of prosecution witnesses and hascome to the correct conclusion that the prosecution has miserably failedto bring home the guilt of the respondents/accused 1 to 4 and therefore, thejudgment of the trial court need not be disturbed as the interference ofthis Court does not require.On perusal of Ex.P.1 complaint, it appears thatit was received by P.W.21 Inspector of Police at 00.15 a.m on 4.10.2007and soon after the receipt of the complaint he had also registered the casein Cr.No.201 of 2007 under Section 302 of I.P.C.The first information report Ex.P.11 also reveals the samefact.However, it appears that these two documents, viz., Ex.P.1 andEx.P.11 were reached the learned Judicial Magistrate, Papanasam, at 4.40a.m.on 4.10.2007 as it is seen from the evidence of P.W.19, who had takenEx.P.1 and Ex.The occurrenceplace is situated just one kilometre away from the police station.He has also stated that at 4.00 a.m. he had been to thehouse of the learned Judicial Magistrate and handed over the Ex.P.1 andEx.43. P.W.8 says that he came to the place of occurrence along withothers and he was asked to write a complaint and therefore, he had writtenthe complaint.He would further state that at about 12.00 midnight he cameto the place of occurrence and thereafter, all the villagers went to thepolice station and they were also enquired by the police people.According to him, when he along with other villagers cameto the place of occurrence, already the police people were present there andthe witnesses P.Ws.1 to 3 were also present.But he is not able to say asto how the police people came to the place of occurrence before lodging thecomplaint and as to who had lodged the complaint prior to his lodging ofcomplaint.He would further state that after half-an-hour he went tothe police station along with others.In his cross examination, P.W.21 Inspector of Police hasstated that neither in the complaint Ex.P.1, dated 4.10.2007 nor in theirrespective statements, which were recorded by him under Section 161(3)Cr.P.C., P.Ws.1 to 3 have not told that for what purpose they went toPapanasam.Further, he has also stated that they never had statedthat they were threatened by the respondents.During the course of his investigation, he came to know thatthe deceased had been selling liquor near Papanasam railway gate and onthis score, there was previous enmity with other liquor sellers.In his cross examination, he has also stated that noreference was available in his diary to substantiate the fact that P.W.1came to the police station along with other persons.Apart from this, thearrest of the respondents/A1 to A4 was not satisfactorily proved.Besides this he has also admitted in his cross examinationthat when he had examined P.W.14 Dr. Rajmohan, who had conducted the postmortem examination M.O.1 Cement Concrete Stone was not shown to him.But hehas also not obtained any explanation from P.Ws.1 to 3 during the courseof his investigation as to why they had gone to Papanasam at 12.00midnight.It is significant to note here that P.W.21 being theInspector of Police had received the complaint under Ex.P.1 and alsoregistered the case.Since he being the officer, who had registered thecase, he should not have taken up the investigation.Even if he happens totake up the investigation, with the permission of his higher authorities,investigation should have been handed over to some other competent policeofficer.Hence, the investigation taken up by P.W.21 appears to have beentainted with embellishment.As we have discussed in the opening paragraphs, the presenceof P.Ws.1 to 3 at the time of occurrence has been shrouded with moonshine andsince their presence is doubted, it is incumbent on the part of theprosecution to dispel the doubt.However, the prosecution has notsatisfactorily proved the presence of P.Ws.1 to 3 at the place and at thetime of occurrence.Apart from this, as afore stated, the conduct of P.Ws.1 to3 seems to be unusual.We are in agreement with the conclusion of the trialCourt to the effect that P.Ws.1 to 3 would not have present in the place ofoccurrence and witnessed the occurrence.Further, since the other independent witnesses, viz., P.Ws.4to 7 and seizure mahazar witness P.W.9 and observation mahazar witness P.W.11have turned hostile, the testimonies of P.Ws.1 to 3 are left uncorroboratedand unsupported.The evidence of P.W.12, who has spoken about the previousenmity between the deceased and the respondents has also not been supportedby any other witnesses.Apart from this, since P.W.21 being the Inspectorof Police, attached to Papanasam Police Station, happened to register thecase, he is not supposed to take up the investigation.Keeping in view of all the infirmities and conflictions aswell as the contradictions between the testimonies of prosecution witnesses,we are of the considered view that the learned trial Judge has come to thecorrect conclusion, which resulted in the acquittal of the respondents 1 to4 in respect of the charges under Sections 302 and 302 r/w 34 of I.P.C.Therefore, the judgment of acquittal recorded by the learned trial Judgedoes not require interference of this Court.Further, wedo not find any reasons to interfere with the judgment of acquittal recordedby the learned trial Judge.In the result, the criminal appeal is dismissed confirmingthe judgment of acquittal recorded by the learned trial Judge.(S.R.,J) (T.M.,J).31.10.2014rnbIndex :Yes/NoInternet:Yes/NoToThe I Additional Sessions Judge, (PCR), Thanjavur.2.The Additional Public Prosecutor,Madurai Bench of Madras High

+"The deceased in this case was one Mrs.Ezhilmathi.She was married to one Mr.Ranganathan, who is the son of the accused herein, eight years before the occurrence.At the time of marriage, gold jewels and other household articles were presented by the parents of the deceased.It is alleged that these two accused who are the father-in-law and mother-in-law respectively of the deceased demanded more dowry from the deceased and harassed her.It is further alleged that on 23.07.2012, at 8.00 am, at the house of the deceased, both the accused abused the deceased in filthy language and then A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 through a lighted match stick on her.The deceased sustained serious burn injuries on her body.The house of the parents of the deceased is situated just 30 houses away from the house of the deceased.On hearing about the occurrence, P.W.1 - the father, P.W.2 - the mother and P.Ws.3 & 4  the neighbours had rushed to the house of the deceased.They found the deceased with burn injuries.When they enquired the deceased, as to how she sustained burn injuries, she told them that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.P.W.5 is yet another neighbour who has also stated the same.Thereafter, one Mr.Ilayaraja, the brother of the deceased took the deceased in an Ambulance to the Government Hospital, Virudhachalam.Then she was conscious.She told the Doctor that at 11.45 pm, on 23.07.2012, at her house, her father-in-law poured kerosene and set fire.P.W.9 found 90% burnt injuries on her body.P.W.9 made entry of the said statement, in the accident register and then, gave intimation to the learned Judicial Magistrate, Virudhachalam.P.W.9 certified that the deceased was conscious.P.W.8 was satisfied that the deceased was in a fit state of mind to make a dying declaration.(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.Nagamuthu.J) The appellants are the accused 1 and 2 in S.C.No.301 of 2012 on the file of the learned Sessions Judge, Mahila Court, Cuddalore.They stood charged for offences under Sections 498A, 294(b) & 302 r/w 34 I.P.C. By judgment dated 04.09.2013, the trial Court convicted them for offence under Section 302 r/w 34 I.P.C., alone and sentenced them to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/- each in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the accused 1 and 2/appellants are before this Court with this Criminal Appeal.Thereafter, he recorded the dying declaration of the deceased, vide Ex.In the said judicial dying declaration, the deceased told that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.4.P.W.10, the then Special Sub Inspector of Police, on receipt of the intimation from the hospital, went to the hospital on 24.07.2012 and recorded the statement of the deceased, in the presence of the Doctor under Ex.On returning to the Police Station, at 6.00 am, on 24.07.2012, he registered a case in Crime No.194/2012 for offences under Sections 294(b), 498A & 307 I.P.C. Ex.5.The case was taken up for investigation by P.W.11, the then Inspector of Police.He went to the place of occurrence at 7.00 am, on 24.07.2012 and prepared an observation mahazar and a rough sketch in the presence of P.W.6 and another witness.Then, he recovered a plastic can; a match box and a half burnt polyster saree (M.Os.1 to 3), under a mahazar, in the presence of same witnesses.Then, he examined P.Ws.1 to 5 and recorded their statements.On the same day at 11.00 am, he arrested both the accused, in the presence of P.W.6 and another witness.On such arrest, A.1 gave a voluntary confession.But no discovery of any fact was made out of the same.On returning to the Police Station, he forwarded both the accused to Court, for judicial remand.6.On 29.07.2012, at 9.55 pm, the deceased succumbed to the injuries in the hospital.On receipt of the death intimation, P.W.11 altered the case into one under Sections 294(b), 498A & 302 I.P.C. Ex.P.13 is the alteration report.On the same day, between 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm, he conducted inquest on the body of the deceased, in the hospital and forwarded the body for post mortem.Manojkumar Mohandi, conducted autopsy on the body of the deceased on 30.07.2012, at 3.05 pm.He found 90% of burnt injuries, on the body of the deceased.He opined that the death was due to septicemia following burns.P.4 is the post mortem certificate and Ex.P.6 is the final opinion of P.W.7 regarding the cause of death.On completing investigation, P.W.11 laid charge sheet against both the accused.7.Based on the above materials, the trial Court framed charges as detailed in the first paragraph of this judgment against these accused.Both the accused denied the same.In order to prove the case of the prosecution, on the side of the prosecution, as many as 11 witnesses were examined and 14 documents were exhibited, besides 3 material objects.8.Out of the prosecution witnesses, P.Ws.1 to 5 have stated that the deceased told them that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire to her.P.W.9  Dr.Saminathan, has stated that the deceased told him that her father-in-law poured kerosene and set fire.In the judicial dying declaration, recorded by the learned Judicial Magistrate, the deceased told that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.In the complaint made to P.W.10 also, the deceased told that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.9.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C., they denied the same as false.On their side, no witness was examined and no document was marked.Their defence was a total denial.10.Having considered all the above, the trial Court found the accused guilty for offence under Section 302 r/w 34 I.P.C., and accordingly, sentenced them to undergo imprisonment for life.Aggrieved over the same, the accused/appellants are before this Court with this Criminal Appeal.11.We have heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and also perused the records carefully.12.In this case, the prosecution relies on the multiple dying declarations made by the deceased.P.Ws.1 to 5 have stated that when they went to the house of the deceased, they found the deceased with burn injuries and she told them that her father-in-law poured kerosene and mother-in-law set fire on her.P.Ws.1 to 5 told the said fact for the first time after the registration of the case.The deceased was brought to the hospital by her brother, by name, Mr.For the reasons best known to them, the prosecution has not examined the brother of the deceased viz., Mr.Ilayaraja.At the earliest point of time, when the deceased was admitted in the hospital, she told the Doctor that her father-in-law poured kerosene and set fire on her.Subsequently, in the judicial dying declaration, the deceased had told that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.Thus, there is material contradiction between these two dying declarations.13.Above all, from the time of occurrence, the deceased was accompanied and surrounded by her family members.Admittedly, there was some misunderstanding between the accused and the family members of the deceased.The deceased was taken to the hospital by her brother, by name, Mr.In the first statement made by the deceased to the Doctor, the deceased told that her father-in-law alone poured kerosene and set fire on her.But, in the second statement made to the learned Judicial Magistrate concerned, the deceased had told that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.This material improvement made by the deceased implicating A.2 in the subsequent dying declaration would only go to probablize that she had been tutored by Mr.Ilayaraja, or by the other relatives.Assuming that the said statement made to the Doctor, being the earliest statement, requires weightage, since, it is completely contradicted by the subsequent dying declaration recorded by the learned Judicial Magistrate, in which, the deceased told that A.1 poured kerosene and A.2 set fire on her.In our considered view, it is not safe to act on the earliest statement made to the Doctor since that statement itself might have been due to tutoring.If the second dying declaration that fire was set only by A.2 is believed then, the first dying declaration made to the Doctor that it was A.1 who poured kerosene and set fire on her becomes false.Thus, these two dying declarations are completely contradicting each other and they make each one as unbelievable.14.It is needless to point out that the trial Court itself has disbelieved the evidences of P.Ws.1 to 3, that these accused demanded dowry and harassed the deceased.Similarly, the trial Court has disbelieved the evidence of these witnesses, in respect of the charge under Section 294(b) I.P.C. Thus, the trial Court itself has partly believed the prosecution case.Further, the State has not made any appeal against the acquittal of the appellants for offence under Sections 498A & 294(b)15.In view of all these anamolies and doubts, we find it difficult to sustain the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants.(M.J.J) & (S.N.J) 21.04.2016jbmIndex:Yes To1.The Sessions Judge, Mahila Court, Cuddalore.A.No.679 of 201321.04.2016","['Section 294(b) in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"In Mohalla Chah Sheri, Bijnor, there are two political groups, one group headed by Javed Aftab and the other headed by Abdul Malik Beg alias Hithaura Pahalwan.It is alleged that initially there was no difference between the two groups as all of them were working in the political and social fields of the city.The petitioner opposed the candidature of Javed Aftab and supported the rival candidate Chaudhary Nepal Singh Arya.Javed Aftab was successful in the election and after becoming the Chairman of Nagar Palika, Bijnor he started nursing ill will towards the petitioner.On 26-5-1989 one Margoob alias Kale, son of Mahfooz, was murdered within the local limits of Police Station Kotwali, Margoob was an appointee of Javed Aftab in the Nagar Palika.ORDER B.P. Singh, J.Sri Zulfiqar Beg has moved this petition Under Section 482, Cr.P.C. for quashing the order dated 16th January, 1991 passed by the C.J.M. and the order dated 23-1-1991 passed by the Sessions Judge, Bijnor in Criminal Revision -- Zulfiqar Beg v. State.The facts giving rise to this petition are as follows :Subsequently a dispute arose and the two groups became antagonistic to each other over some election.In October, 1988 elections for the post of Chairman, Municipal Board, Bijnor were held in which Javed Aftab was a candidate against others including one Chaudhary Nepal Singh Arya.Although Margoob was murdered by some unknown person, an FIR was lodged by his father, Mahfooz, and the petitioner was implicated as one of the accused.The petitioner belongs to Janta Dal while Javed Aftab is of the Congress-I party.having come to know about his involvement in the said FIR, the petitioner moved an application to the Chief Minister, Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow on 3-6-1989 requesting that the investigation of the case may be transferred to C.B.C.I.D. The petitioner's request was accepted and the investigation of case crime No. 327 of 1989 Under Section 302, I.P.C. P. S. Kotwali was ordered to be handed over to C.B.C.I.D. Thereafter Javed Aftab got an application moved in the name of Mahfooz that the case in question may be investigated by the local police and not by the C.B.C.I.D. On this application the State Government passed an order on 6-7-1989 directing that the case was to be investigated by the local police of Bijnor and not by C.B.C.I.D.Again the petitioner moved an application before the State Government praying that the investigation of the case in question may be handed over to C.B.C.I.D. On this application the Secretary of the Home Department of the Uttar Pradesh Government sought reports from the District Magistrate and S. P. Bijnor.The Home secretary of the Govt. on receipt of the report from the district authorities, directed the District Magistrate and the S. P. Bijnor vide order dated 26-8-1989 that the investigation of the case be handed over to C.B.C.I.D.In pursuance of the order dated 26-8-1989 one inspector of the C.B.C.I.D. i.e. Sri V. M. Sharma applied in the court of C.J.M. Bijnor for the papers of the case.It was also directed by the learned C.J.M. that Inspector V. M. Sharma shall complete investigation within two months and will submit his report.Inspector V. M. Sharma started investigation and recorded statements of the petitioner as well as a few other persons.It appears that having come to know that C.B.C.I.D. was investigating the case, Sri Javed Aftab again approached the State Government and got an order passed by the Joint Secretary, Ministry of Home, U.P. Lucknow, directing the Inspector General of Police that the investigation of case Crime No. 327 of 1989 may now be taken back from the C.B.C.I.D. and may be given to the Civil Police, Bijnor.This order passed by the Joint Secretary, Ministry of U.P. Lucknow, was communicated to the Inspector C.B.C.I.D. who, thereafter, submitted the papers and the orders of State Government without completing the investigation to the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bijnor.At this stage the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bijnor issued a non-bailable warrant against the petitioner and summoned the remaining two accused vide his order dated 28-10-1989, finally Sri Javed Aftab had succeeded in starting proceedings in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bijnor, on the basis of the charge-sheet which was submitted by the Inspector, Civil Police.It was highly irregular on the part of the Joint Secretary, Ministry of Home, U.P. Lucknow, to take back the investigation of the case from C.B.C.I.D.As no other alternative was available to the petitioner, he moved this Court through a petition Under Section 482, Cr.The operative portion of the order in Crl.Petition No. 9524 of 1989 runs as follows :However, since after a case is instituted before a competent court, it cannot be withdrawn under any circumstance, save on an application by the Public prosecutor when the court alone can permit withdrawal of the case, the procedure hereafter to be adopted in the case shall be decided by the C.J.M. Bijnor before whom the case is pending.Since the petition is finally disposed of, the interim order is automatically vacated.""A certified copy of the above order was produced by the petitioner before C.J.M. Bijnor on 14-8-1990 and 14-11-1990 was fixed in the case.It was on 20-12-1990 that Inspector C.B.C.I.D. Sri V. M. Sharma again applied to the C.J.M. Bijnor for taking back the relevant papers and also prayed for staying further proceedings in the case.On the same day, learned C.J.M. directed that the case diary excluding the charge-sheet be handed over to the Inspector C.B.C.I.D. No Orders were passed by the C.J.M. on the request of Inspector C.B. C.I.D. regarding stay of further proceedings in the case.On 16-1-1991, the complainant moved an application before the C.J.M. Bijnor for issuing non-bailable warrant against Zulfaiqar Beg alias Baby and on the same day learned Magistrate passed the following order :Stay has been vacated.Issue non-bailable warrant against the accused fixing 24-1-1991 for appearance.The petitioner has thus come to this Court with the present petition with the prayer that the impugned order dated 16-1-1991 passed by the C.J.M. Bijnor and the order dated 23-1-1991 passed by the Sessions Judge, Bijnor may be quashed and further proceedings in Criminal Case No. 1717 of 1989 State v.

rushed to the place of occurrence, where he found that the accused persons were assaulting his elder brother, Dulal with lathi, khil and iron rod.As he reached within 2&1/2 cubits from his elder brother, the accused Bikash Halder hurled one piece of brick which hit on his head.He fell unconscious and regained senses 8/10 days thereafter when he found himself lying in P.G. hospital.One abrasion 1""x1/2"" over back of left forearm 2"" below the left elbow joint.One bruise 6""x4"" over left side of the back "" left to midline and 1"" below the inferior angle of left scapula.One bruise 5""x3"" in muscle over left side of the front of chest 1"" left to midline and 1&1/2"" below the medial end of left clavicle.Cominuted fracture of second to 8th ribs on left side over mid clavicular line.One lacerated injury of spleen 2""x1/2"" into spnenic tissue over lateral surface of spleen.Abdominal cavity contained 200 m.l. of clotted and liquid blood.According to him, the death of the victim was caused due to the effect of injuries as described above antemortem in nature.P.W.10, Assistant Sub-Inspector of Mandirbazar Police Station deposed that he drew up the F.I.R. on the basis of written complaint lodged by Nanda Dulal Halder.P.W.11 also deposed that on the relevant date and time the accused persons assaulted Dulal and his brother Sahadeb.He tried to rescue them but could not succeed.He took Sahadeb to Mathurapur hospital but for proper treatment Sahadeb was sent to Diamond Harbour hospital.Thereafter, from Diamond Harbour 13 hospital he took Sahadeb to Bhangore hospital.He identified all the accused persons on dock.P.W.12, Bikash Sardar, Sub-Inspector of Police stated in his evidence that on 10th May, 1996 he remained posted at Mandirbazar Police Station./304/506 of the Indian Penal Code against the accused persons and charges were framed against the accused persons under Sections 302/323/34 of the Indian Penal Code.The said charges were read over and explained to the accused persons and they pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.He further submitted that from the evidence of prosecution witnesses it appears that when the victim was taken to Nimpath Rural Hospital at Joynagar, where he was pronounced as brought dead, it is also evident that one private doctor prescribed one injection to the victim.Therefore, it can be presumed that the victim Dulal was alive at the time of incident.He also argued that the inquest report, which was necessary for unnatural death, was not brought on record, though the UD case was registered at Joynagar Police Station.The inquest report was part of the UD case, but it was not exhibited.He further submitted that the incident occurred on the public place in front of many people, but no independent witness was examined by the prosecution to prove the alleged incident.The learned Court below failed to consider in appreciating the prosecution evidence of P.W. 12, who stated that he did not seize any blood stained cloths and did not prepare any sketch map at the time of investigation.The learned Court below failed to consider that Sahadeb Halder, brother of the victim, who was also injured, was not examined by the Investigating Officer and the medical documents regarding his treatment were neither seized nor exhibited.Even the doctors, who examined the injured victim Sahadeb Halder, were not examined.Mr. Manjit Singh, learned advocate for the appellant no.1 support the submissions of Mr. Mukherjee and submits that if one sees the post mortem report, it can be seen that no specific name was stated in U.D. case, as the post mortem examination took place on 11th May, 1996 at about 2.30 p.m., i.e. after 45 hours of death and as the body had already started decomposing, the finding of external injury was medically not possible.Learned counsel for the appellants prayed that the appeal may be allowed by setting aside the impugned judgement and order of conviction and sentence passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, 6th Court, Alipore, South 24-Parganas.Learned advocate for the State submitted that from the evidence of witnesses it appears that a number of miscreants assaulted with lathi, iron rod, brickbat and blows fell at random on various parts of the deceased Dulal and injured Sahadeb.The post mortem report shows the injuries comprised of abrasions, bruises, fracture and one lacerated injury were almost all over the body of the deceased Dulal.Therefore, he prayed for dismissal of the appeal by upholding the sentence imposed upon the appellants.Learned advocate for the de facto complainant prayed to be heard.Such prayer was allowed.He further submitted that the inquest report was not a substantive piece of evidence and non-production of the same could not be treated as a fatal blow to the prosecution case.The appellants could not raise any question regarding genuineness of the post mortem report at the time of hearing of the appeal on the ground that at the time of trial, carbon copy of the post mortem report was exhibited, as no question was raised regarding genuineness by the defence in course of trial.It is evident that though P.W.11 wanted to show the police the blood stained apparels in their house, but the police did not want to see the same.From cross-examination of P.W.12 it appears that he did not ask for any blood stained apparels.It is settled principle of law that defective investigation cannot be a ground for washing away the unimpeachable version of the eyewitnesses and other corroborative evidence tendered by the prosecution in course of trial.Lastly, he has submitted that the appellants had a common intention to cause death of the victim by causing bodily injuries knowing that those injuries would cause death of Dulal Halder and therefore, the learned Judge has rightly convicted the appellants under Sections 304 Part II/34 of the Indian Penal Code.Heard learned advocates for the parties and perused the impugned judgement.The prosecution examined as many as 13 witnesses to prove its case.The accused Panchu had a wooden bar, the accused Tarun possessed iron rod, the accused Monoranjan had a bamboo stick in his hand and the accused Pankaj had a brickbat.P.W.1 stated that all the accused persons assaulted all over the body of Dulal, but he could not give the details of the exact positions on which Dulal was assaulted.P.W. 2 was declared as hostile by the prosecution.P.W.3, Batul Chandra Kayal deposed that on the relevant date when he was proceeding towards the shop of Dulal with a view to purchasing bidi, he found the accused persons whom he identified on dock, were assaulting Dulal Halder with iron rod, lathi, khil and brickbat.Dulal fell unconscious on the ground.The accused Pankaj threw a brickbat, which hit on his head and he suffered bleeding injury.P.W.4, Bharati Halder deposed that she heard from inside the house that the accused Pankaj Halder whom she identified on dock saying to his elder brother-in-law as to why he gave evidence in 10 favour of Prafulla Kansari.When she came out of the house, the accused Panchu Halder, Monoranjan Halder, Bikash Halder and Tarun Bhowmick dragged away her vasur, Dulal from their entrance gate.Her husband tried to rush to the place but she prevented him.She also deposed that the accused persons assaulted Dulal by lathi, wooden bar, iron rod and brickbat and Dulal fell unconscious.At that time, her brother-in-law Sahadeb Halder appeared and Panchu hit him with a piece of brick on his head for which he suffered bleeding injury.Thereafter, in presence of Bantul Kayal, Bimal Baidya, Tapan Bhanja, Reba Bhanja and Balai Halder, Dulal was removed to Nimpith hospital being accompanied by his wife, son, sister and other neighbours and her husband and other neighbours removed Sahadeb to Nimpith hospital and subsequently, she came to know that Dulal died.P.W.5 also corroborated the evidence of P.W. 1, 3 and 4 regarding assault on Dulal and Sahadeb.He heard that his elder brother Dulal had expired.P.W.8, Medical Officer of Nimpith hospital, who examined Dulal Halder and found several injuries, i.e. there was swelling and purring all over the left half of the chest particularly prominent on the lower part; there are multiple abrasions on the lower part of lateral chest wall; there was small abrasion over the right elbow joint.P.W.9, Medical Officer on Training Reserve attached to Forensic and State Medicine, Department Medical College, Calcutta stated that on 11th May, 1996 he held post mortem examination over the dead body of Dulal Chandra Halder and found the following injuries:One abrasion 1&1/2"" x 1"" over back of right elbow joint.One abrasion 2""x1"" over postaro lateral aspect of left elbow joint.The then Officer-in-Charge of Mandirbazar Police Station endorsed him the case no. 27 dated 10th May, 1996 under section 147/148/149/326/304/506 of the Indian Penal Code for investigation.During investigation he visited the place of occurrence and he held raid in the houses of the accused persons.He examined the witnesses under section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.P.W.13, Sub-Inspector of Police, at present posted at Behala Police Station stated that on 10th May, 1996 he remained in Mandirbazar Police Station as Officer-in-Charge and started investigation.During investigation he arrested the accused Monoranjan Halder and recorded the statement of Sahadeb Halder and collected the post mortem report of Dulal Chandra Halder.He submitted charge sheet against the accused persons.On scrutiny of the evidence on record I find that the accused/appellants assaulted with lathi, wooden bar, iron rod, brickbat and blows fell at random on various parts of the body of the deceased Dulal.The evidence discloses the injuries comprised of abrasions, bruises, fracture etc. The plea of defence was that the fatal blow was due to an accidental fall on the edge of brick built road or on the ground after stumbling against the root of a tree.Such serious injuries negate the plea of accidental fall.I find that the presence of all the appellants being armed with lathi and other weapons has been consistently deposed by the eye witnesses, as I find it difficult to ignore the presence of P.W.1, P.W.3 and P.W.4 at the place of occurrence.The evidence of the above witnesses remained unshaken in cross-examination and there is no conflict between ocular version and medical evidence, as aforesaid in the instant case.In view of the aforesaid facts, reference to Vigender -vs- State of Delhi (supra) and Mohinder Singh -vs- State (supra) is not apposite.It was held in the said judgements that under Section 64 of the Evidence Act document must be proved by primary evidence, that is to say, by producing the document itself except in the cases mentioned in Section 65 thereof.Since the post mortem report being a public document and the carbon copy of which is proved by P.W.9, the post mortem doctor, it falls within the purview of Section 65 of the Evidence Act and was admissible on this score alone.The attending facts and circumstances of this case including the injuries found by the doctor P.W.8 corroborate the manner and course which led to the death of the victim Dulal.In the case of Rebati Baidya (supra) acquittal was recorded for faulty investigation, but in this case there is no conflict between ocular version and medical evidence unlike the cited decision.Hence, the said authority is distinguishable on facts from the instant case.Accordingly, I uphold the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants.The appeal is accordingly dismissed.Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied expeditiously after complying with all necessary legal formalities.(Rajarshi Bharadwaj, J.)","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in

+"On 22.6.2002 at about 6:15 pm, owning to the said dispute, accused Rituraj Singh shot fire on the person of deceased Jagannath as a result of which he died.The first information report of the incident was lodged by Santosh (PW.1) vide Exhibit P/1 on 22.6.2002 at 6:30 pm specifying the name and act of accused Rituraj Singh but thereafter during the statement, it is said that accused Rituraj Singh was driving a motorcycle and Guddu alias Hira Singh was sitting as a pillion rider alongwith a Gun and at the time of incident, Rituraj Singh took the Gun from Guddu alias Hira Singh and shot fire over the person of deceased Jagannath.After lodging the first information report, the police investigation commenced.The autopsy was conducted by Dr.14.12.2017 This appeal under Section 374(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure (hereinafter shall be referred to as ''Cr.P.C'') has been filed being aggrieved by the judgment of conviction and the sentence dated 14.11.2006 passed by the Special Judge-cum-Additional Sessions Judge, Damoh in Special Case No.98/2002 convicting appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh for the charge of Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (hereinafter shall be referred to as ''I.P.C'') and convicting appellant 2 No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C and sentencing them to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.1000/- each for respective offences and in default to undergo imprisonment for one month each and also convicting the appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh for the charge of Section 27 of the Arms Act and sentencing him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine of Rs.1000/- and in default to undergo imprisonment for one month and convicting appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act and sentencing him to pay a fine of Rs.2000/- and in default to undergo simple imprisonment for two months.As alleged, about eight days prior to the date of incident, heated exchange took place between accused Rituraj Singh and deceased Jagannath on account of sowing the water chestnut (Singadha) in the Government Tank known as Luharband.It is said that the field of accused Ompal Singh was adjacent to the said Tank and on account of sowing the water chestnut (Singadha), the dispute arose between accused Rituraj Singh and deceased Jagannath.R.K.Bhardwaj (PW.35) vide Exhibit P/32 and as per the opinion of the 3 doctor, the cause of death was due to hemorrhage as a result of receiving the gun shot injuries to deceased Jagannath.The license of 12 bore gun issued in the name of Ompal Singh has also been seized by the Police.After completion of the investigation, the Challan was filed in the Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class but as the case was triable by the Court of Sessions, therefore, it was committed to the Court of Sessions where the charges of Section 302 of the I.P.C, Sections 25/27 of the Arms Act and Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST Act were framed against appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh.The charges of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C and Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST Act were framed against appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh whereas charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act was framed against appellant No.3 Ompal Singh.The accused persons have abjured their guilt and taken a defence of false implication on account of the previous enmity.The Trial Court relying upon the testimony of the prosecution witnesses and corroborating the same with the medical evidence convicted appellant No.1 Rituraj singh for the charge of Section 302 of the I.P.C and Section 27 of the Arms Act and convicted the appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section of 302/34 of the I.P.C and the appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act and directed them to undergo the sentence as hereinabove described.However, for the charges of Section 25 of the Arms Act and Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST Act, the accused persons were acquitted by the Trial Court.Learned counsel representing the appellants has strenuously urged that the conviction of appellant Nos.1 and 2, namely, Rituraj Singh and Guddu alias Hira Singh is solely based on the testimony of eye-witness Santosh (PW.1) although his testimony is of ocular nature, which cannot be relied upon to convict the appellants particularly when he is the brother of deceased Jagannath and is an interested witness.In addition to the aforesaid, it is also urged that if the contents of the first information report are compared with the other evidence then it is apparent that the prosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt to prove the charge of Section 302 of the I.P.C against the appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh.It is contended by learned counsel for the appellants that against appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh, it is said that his name has not been mentioned in the first information report and the story as narrated that he came alongwith accused Rituraj Singh on a motorcycle does not find support from the first information report as well as the other evidence, however, to prove the common intention of accused Guddu alias Hira Singh and to commit the murder of deceased Jagannath has also not been established by the prosecution beyond reasonable doubt, therefore, the conviction of appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C is not based on due appreciation of evidence brought on record by the prosecution.Insofar as the conviction of appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act is concerned, it is contended by learned counsel for the appellants that looking to the seizure memo (Exhibit P/16) two guns were seized; one is double barrel muzzle loading riffle and another is 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80; and the license of 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 in the name of Ompal Singh was seized but the prosecution has not brought any evidence that the 12 bore 5 licensed gun of Ompal Singh was used in commission of the offence.It is also contended that the prosecution has only sent the double barrel muzzle loading riffle for examination to the Ballistic Expert and that the 12 bore gun, which was found in use for commission of the offence, however, nothing is available on record that the 12 bore licensed gun, which was in the name of accused Ompal Singh has been used by appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh in commission of the offence, therefore, appellant No.3 Ompal Singh may not be held guilty for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act. In view of the said submission, it is urged that the conviction of appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act is unsustainable in law.On the other hand, learned Government Advocate representing the respondent/State has contended that looking to the prosecution narration from the stage of the first information report, the involvement of appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh in commission of murder of deceased Jagannath has been proved beyond reasonable doubt by the testimony of the eye-witness Santosh (PW.1) coupled with the testimony of Haricharan (PW.15), Harishankar (PW.18), Durga (PW.20) who have seen the accused prior to the incident.In addition to the aforesaid, the report of Ballistic Expert corroborates the use of double barrel muzzle loading riffle and the pallets were found in the person of deceased Jagannath as reveals from the testimony of Dr.R.K.Bhardwaj (PW.35).It is, therefore, contended that the conviction of appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh for the charge of Section 302 of I.P.C and Section 27 of the Arms Act is based on cogent evidence, however, the finding recorded by the Trial Court is just and proper.Insofar as the conviction of appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C is concerned, it is contended by learned Government Advocate for the respondent/State that accused Rituraj Singh was driving the motorcycle while co-accused 6 Guddu alias Hira Singh was sitting as a pillion rider armed with gun, which has been used by accused Rituraj Singh in commission of murder of deceased Jagannath, therefore, the conviction of appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C showing his common intention has rightly been directed by the Trial Court.It is further contended that the seizure of 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 alongwith license of Ompal Singh has been made by the Police in the incident.Therefore, the conviction of appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act has rightly been directed by the Trial Court.It is, therefore, prayed that looking to the findings as recorded by the Trial Court, interference in this appeal is not warranted.After having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the findings as recorded by the Trial Court, the conviction of appellant Nos.1 & 2, namely, Rituraj Singh & Guddu alias Hira Singh is based on the testimony of eye-witness Santosh (PW.1) corroborated by the testimony of Haricharan (PW.15), Harishankar (PW.18), Durga (PW.20) who have seen them prior to the incident on a motorcycle armed with gun.The Trial Court found correlation by their testimony because the double barrel muzzle loading riffle seized by Police, however, used as per the Ballistic Expert Report (Exhibit P/39) proved by the testimony of Sudhir Agrawal (PW.38).In the said report, it is said that prior to eight days of the incident, heated exchange took place between accused Rituraj Singh and deceased Jagannath on account of irrigating the field of accused Ompal Singh (father of accused Rituraj Singh) from Luharband wherein water chestnut (Singadha) of the deceased was sown.Thereafter, on 22.6.2002, accused Rituraj Singh for the said reason shot gun fire on deceased Jagannath as a result of which he died on spot.In the first 7 information report, it is said that one another person was present at the scene of occurrence but the story that accused Rituraj Singh came alongwith accused Guddu alias Hira Singh on a motorcycle has been developed subsequently after the first information report.The said fact find support from the merg intimation report (Exhibit P/2) because the edition with respect to the said allegation is in the original first information report and the merg intimation is visible by naked eyes.In the context of the aforesaid fact, the testimony of eye- witness Santosh (PW.1) as well as the other corroborative evidence considered by the Trial Court is required to be seen.In the testimony of eye-witness Santosh (PW.1), it is said that accused Rituraj Singh driving the motorcycle came alongwith accused Guddu alias Hira Singh, who was armed with a Gun on his shoulder and after going ahead to the deceased Jagannath, accused Rituraj Singh took the said gun from Guddu alias Hira Singh and shot fire on the deceased as a result of which he died.The story that Rituraj singh and Guddu alias Hira Singh came on a motorcycle is edited in the first information report as clearly visible in the original record by the naked eyes.The said story has been developed from the testimony of Haricharan (PW.15), Harishankar (PW.18), Durga (PW.20) though since inception the said story was not in the first information report (Exhibit P/1) or in the merg intimation report (Exhibit P/2) if editing in those documents is accepted.In addition to the aforesaid, if the motive of the accused is seen then it would reveal that about eight days prior to the date of incident, heated exchange and altercation took place between accused Rituraj Singh and deceased Jagannath, therefore, appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh might not have any motive to participate in commission of the offence.If the testimony of eye-witness Santosh (PW.1) is taken into consideration then it is apparent that except the presence of Guddu alias Hira Singh, no direct act has been shown in his testimony.In 8 our considered opinion, if Guddu alias Hira Singh was going on the motorcycle due to which his presence alone is not enough to gather his intention in commission of the offence.If the testimony of Haricharan (PW.15), Harishankar (PW.18), Durga (PW.20) is taken into consideration wherein against appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh it is said, when accused Rituraj Singh was driving the motorcycle, he was sitting as a pillion rider armed with the gun.It has come in the testimony of eye- witness Santosh (PW.1) that accused Rituraj Singh took the gun from accused Guddu alias Hira Singh and shot fire on the person of deceased Jagannath, therefore, looking to the said prosecution narration of eye- witness Santosh (PW.1), it is apparent that mere presence of accused Guddu alias Hira Singh itself is not sufficient to convict him for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C.Under such circumstances, the conviction of appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C as directed by the Trial Court merely relying upon the testimony of eye- witness Santosh (PW.1) and also the corroborative testimony of Haricharan (PW.15), Harishankar (PW.18), Durga (PW.20) cannot be upheld and is liable to be set aside.Insofar as the involvement of appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh in commission of the murder of deceased Jagannath is concerned, eye-witness Santosh (PW.1) has specifically said that accused Rituraj Singh took the gun and shot fire on the person of deceased Jagannath.The said allegation of shot fire finds support from the medical evidence and the report of the Ballistic Expert, therefore, the conviction of appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh for the charge of Section 302 of the I.P.C does not warrant any interference in this appeal, therefore, the conviction of appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh as directed by the Trial Court is hereby maintained.Now reverting to the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act against appellant No.3 Ompal Singh is concerned, it is seen that he has 9 been convicted because his 12 bore licensed gun has been used in commission of the offence.The prosecution has seized two guns vide Exhibit P/16; one is double barrel muzzle loading riffle and another is 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 alongwith licence.No evidence has been brought on record that the 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 of which the licence was in the name of Ompal Singh has been used in commission of murder of deceased Jagannath.The prosecution has also sent the double barrel muzzle loading riffle for Ballistic Examination and correlation of the said ballistic report of the use of the said gun has been proved while 12 bore gun was not sent for examination by the ballistic report.Therefore, it is clear that 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 of which the licence was in the name of Ompal Singh has not been used in commission of the offence.In addition to the aforesaid, if the testimony of eye-witness Santosh (PW.1) and the corroborative piece of evidence of the testimony of Haricharan (PW.15), Harishankar (PW.18), Durga (PW.20) is seen then it is apparent that accused Guddu alias Hira Singh was armed with double barrel riffle which has been used as per the Ballistic Report and it is not 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 or having two guns, therefore, the conviction of appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act as directed by the Trial Court with an allegation that his licencee gun has been used by appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh cannot be sustained in law.Hence, the conviction of appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section of Section 30 of the Arms Act deserves to be set aside.But similarly insofar as the charge of Section 27 of the Arms Act is concerned, it is fully proved against appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh because the double barrel muzzle loading riffle has been used in the commission of the offence, therefore, such finding against appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh is in accordance to law.In view of the foregoing discussion, the conviction of appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh for the charge of Section 302/34 of the I.P.C and the conviction of appellant No.3 Ompal Singh for the charge of Section 30 of the Arms Act stands set aside while the conviction of appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh for the charge of Section 302 of the I.P.C and Section 27 of the Arms Act is hereby maintained upholding the judgment of the Trial Court to such extent.Consequent to setting aside the conviction against appellant No.3 Ompal Singh, the confiscation of 12 bore gun bearing No.180/80 and its licence stands set aside.Accordingly, this appeal is hereby allowed insofar as it relates to appellant No.2 Guddu alias Hira Singh and appellant No.3 Ompal Singh and it is hereby dismissed insofar as it relates to appellant No.1 Rituraj Singh.He be set at liberty forthwith if not required in any other case.At the end, it is our duty to record the words of appreciation in favour of the amicus curiae, who assisted the Court in the disposal of this appeal, which is pending since 2006 and in which appellant No.1 Rituraj Raj and appellant No.2

with any demand of dowry by the accused and that too in the reasonable contiguity of death and that such a proof is thus the Legislatively mandated pre-requisite to invoke the otherwise statutorily ordained presumption of commission of the offence.He would further submit that there should be a live link between the cruelty emanating from a dowry demand and the death of a young married woman should first raise a presumption against the woman.However, before raising the presumption against the accused, the prosecution should prove the foundational facts.However, in this case, the prosecution has not let in evidence to show that there was demand of dowry soon before her death or that the deceased was subjected to cruelty on demand of dowry to soon before her death.Admittedly, the deceased and the respondents/accused are close relatives and that the marriage had happened 2-1/2 years prior to the occurrence and all the averments in the evidence of the father, mother, brother and sister-in-law of the deceased are in respect of things which had happened at the time of marriage and absolutely, no evidence is let in by the prosecution that soon before her death, there was demand of dowry, whereas, it is the categoric evidence of PW.3 and PW.5 who are neighbors and P.W.10 who is colleague of A-1/Udhayashankar, who have specifically spoken having knownhttp://www.judis.nic.in 7 about the depression suffered by the deceased due to fear and it is the specific evidence of PW.5 that soon before the alleged occurrence, the deceased had come to her house and informed her that she was afraid and that it had been informed to the 1st respondent/accused through his colleague PW.10 and their evidence is clear that the reason for the death of the deceased is not due to demand of any dowry or cruelty committed on her.Admittedly, the respondents 2, 3 and 4 were living at Thiruppuvanam, Sivagangai and that there is no allegation against them that they have demanded any dowry or any amount in the recent past and thereby, the learned Trial Judge has rightly acquitted the respondents/accused.In this case while looking into the evidence, the prosecution witnesses can be classified as follows:-, Asaithambi, Thandiayappan, Kaleeshwaran, Kasthuri, Pappathi and Shobana and altered the case from under Section 174 (3) Cr.Thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 12 Report of RDO was marked as Ex.P15 (Ex.P15 had been marked as under protest).Thereafter, the 4th respondent/Jawagar was arrested and let out on bail and respondents 2, 3 and 5 were granted anticipatory bail and after obtaining opinion from the Assistant Public Prosecutor, the final report had been filed.Respondents 2, 3, 4 and 5 have stated that they were residing at Sivagangh District and that they do not know what transpired at Chennai.Further, they had given a written explanation wherein, the 1 st respondent had stated that the deceased was his first cousin being the daughter of his own aunt, who is the elder sister of their father and that there was no demand of dowry and that since they were all relatives, the marriage expenses were shared between them Further, due to close relationship no dowry was taken and further that the deceased while studying school and college she was in the hostel along with co-students and that since she was alone in the house athttp://www.judis.nic.in 13 Chennai and that since they did not have any issues after marriage she was in depression and thereafter, she had studied Library Science from her father's house and thereafter, she had come back to Chennai and that their respective names were deleted from their family card and transferred to Chennai and that since she was alone at Chennai, she was under the state of depression and fear and that on 26.03.2004, she had gone to the house of the neighbour PW.5/Shobana and informed her and that she was afraid and PW.5/Shobana had called the management staff of PW.10 and that later he consoled the victim to be at home stating that he would come back soon and that when he had come back home, he had seen that the door of the house was locked from inside and that the victim had committed suicide and he had stated that the victim had committed suicide due to depression and since they did not have a child.Whereas, the parents of the victim unable to accept that their daughter had committed suicide due to depression for not having a child had given a false complaint as if there was demand of dowry.The learned Trial Judge, after analyzing the entire evidence and materials on record, has found that there was no demand of dowry soon before the death.The learned Trial Judge, finding that the essential requirements of the charges against the respondents/accused having not been proved had acquitted the respondents/accused.I have carefully analyzed the evidence and materials on record andhttp://www.judis.nic.in 14 the judgment of the Trial Court.As stated above PW.1, PW.3 PW.5 and PW.10 are independent witnesses.It is the admitted evidence of PW.14 that the 1st respondent/accused was working in Chennai and the 5th respondent/accused was studying at Chennai and that respondents 2, 3 and 4 were residing at their native place at Thirupuvanam.Likewise, the parents of the deceased and the relatives of the deceased are also residing at Sivagangah District.Excepting an omnibus allegation made against the respondents in general with regard to demand of dowry, no specific evidence had been let in with regard to the demand of dowry.The independent witnesses who are the neighbours of the deceased and the 1st respondent/accused have categorically deposed that there was no problem between them in the matrimonial home.The Investigating Officer/PW.14 has also confirmed the same.PW.1 in his examination in chief had stated that there was no matrimonial issues or problems between the deceased and the 1st respondent/accused.PW.3 is the neighbour, who has also deposed that when he was examined by the Police, he had stated that there was no matrimonial disputes or issues between the 1 st respondent/accused and the deceased.PW.14 is the Investigation Officer has also corroborated that when hehttp://www.judis.nic.in 15 had examined the witnesses in the neighborhood, they have also stated that there was no dispute between the deceased and the 1st respondent/accused.There is evidence in the case that prior to the occurrence, the deceased was in disturbed state of mind as she was in the grip of fear.The evidence of PW.5 and PW.10 had been corroborated by thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 16 evidence of PW.3, husband of PW.5, who had stated that he was informed by his wife that on the date of occurrence, the victim had come to his house and informed about her fear and that his wife had told him that she had contacted the 1st respondent/accused.Further while analysing the evidence of the relatives of the deceased, the crux of the allegations against the respondents/accused are that the respondents/accused demanded dowry to secure a job for the deceased and that the 1st respondent/accused had an illegal affair with a lady namely Sudha and the respondents demanded to secure admission for the 5 th respondent in an Engineering College.Further, the allegations of the witnesses regarding demand of dowry are vague and bald without even referring to the particular date, period or occasion and the versions of the witnesses which had been stated before the Trial Court seem to be exaggerated versions.Further, the parents of the deceased had stated that they have spoken to their daughter, the deceased on the day of occurrence.It is neither been supported by the evidence of PW.5, the neighbour nor by any scientific evidence.No investigation has been done by the respondent police with regard to such telephonic conversation stated to have been made between the deceased and her parents on the date of occurrence.In the result, the Criminal Appeal stands dismissed.The Assistant Commissioner of Police, Ambattur Range, Chennai (T-1 Ambattur Police Station.3.The Public Prosecutor, High Court,

+"For the sake of clarity and convenience, the facts from LPA No.886/2010, which arises from the order passed in WP(C) No.2205/2010, shall be exposited for the purpose of adjudication.The appellant, a chartered accountant and a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), was a partner of M/s Price LPA 885-886/2010 Page 2 of 59 Waterhouse (M/s PW), a firm of Chartered Accountants registered with ICAI.In the year 2000, the firm was appointed as the statutory auditors of M/s Satyam Computer Services Ltd. (SCSL).The statutory audits of SCSL for the years 2001 to March, 2007 were conducted and the reports were signed by Mr. Subramani Gopalkrishnan, the appellant in LPA No.885/2010 [the petitioner in WP(C) No.5352/2010].As the factual matrix would further unfurl, on 7th January, 2009, Mr. B. Ramalinga Raju, the then Chairman of SCSL, in a communication send to the Board of Directors, disclosed that the balance sheet of SCSL as on 30th September, 2008 carried inflated (non-existent) cash and bank balances of Rs.5,040 Crores (as against Rs.5361 Crores reflected in the books) and accrued non-existent interest of Rs.376 Crores.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 2 of 59The liability was understated to the extent of of Rs.1230 Crores on account of funds arranged by him and the accounts overstated the debtors position by Rs.490 Crores (as against Rs.2651 crores reflected in the books).Quite LPA 885-886/2010 Page 3 of 59 apart from the above, there were many other disclosures which eventually led to his arrest and a criminal trial which we shall refer to at a later stage.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 3 of 59On 10th January, 2009, the ICAI corresponded with M/s PW, Bangalore, referring to the letters of Mr. Raju, the Chairman of SCSL, that the said firm had failed to carry out necessary checks which were required while undertaking the audit of the financial statements and certifying the quarterly results of the company.The ICAI alleged that the firm had violated the accounting principles while auditing and certifying the accounts/quarterly results of SCSL for the aforementioned years and quarters and did not give a true and fair view of the accounts and further did not exercise due diligence and were negligent in their professional duties as statutory auditors.The ICAI treated the newspaper report as information within the meaning of Section 21(2) of the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949 [as amended by the Chartered Accountants (Amendment) Act, 2006 which came into effect from 17th November, 2006] (for brevity the CA Act).M/s PW was called upon to disclose the name or names of the member or members who was/were answerable to the allegation/s and send a copy of the aforesaid information letter along with LPA 885-886/2010 Page 4 of 59 its enclosures to the said member/members and he/they be requested to send his/their written statement, if any, in triplicate within 21 days from the receipt of the letter.It was also stipulated in the said letter that the member or members who are answerable should also send a declaration duly signed in the enclosed format and in the event the name(s) of the member(s) answerable was not disclosed, all the members who were partners or employees of the firm on the date of occurrence of the alleged misconduct shall be responsible for answering the allegation or allegations contained in the information.After certain correspondences, on 30th January 2009, M/s PW replied to the ICAI stating, inter alia, that the key members were Mr. S. Gopalakrishnana, Mr. S. Talluri, Mr. P. Shiva Prasad and Mr. C.H. Ravindranath.M/s PW informed that Mr. S.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 5 of 59""19.1 The statutory auditors have failed to exercise reasonable care and compliance with various auditing and assurance standards issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India as a generally accepted auditing practice while reporting on the financial statements and the materiality of the misstatements are so huge that it has rendered the financial statements for all these years as untrue and unfair.However, the executive, management and staff have drawn substantial amounts as remunerations, commission, incentives, bonuses, ESOPs.However, all these overstatements and misstatements have reported the EPS at a higher level in the financial reporting annually as well as quarterly which has directly impacted the movement of the share prices in the stock exchanges market in India and abroad.""The allegations are regarding alleged fudging of LPA 885-886/2010 Page 19 of 59 accounts over seven years.The appellant is required to understand the records for which he would be required to consult the papers alongwith the persons who had conducted the audit.their reliance.The turnover of M/s SCSLvii) You did not exercise due in 2006-2007 was Rs.6228 Crores, in LPA 885-886/2010 Page 28 of 59 diligence and were grossly negligent 2007-2008 was Rs.8137 Crores and in the conduct of your professional the respective Audit Fees paid duties as the statutory auditors of were Rs.3.67 Crores and Rs.3.73 the company for all these years.The turnover of M/s Wipro in the year 2006-07 andxi) On account of the knit criminal conspiracy between manipulations/ falsification of the the management of M/s. SCSL i.e. accounts by the Company for all B. Ramalinga Raju, A-1, B. these years, it is apparent that the Ramaraju (A-2) and Shri V. same was not possible without your Srinivas (A-3) and the statutory knowing about the same as the auditors S. Gopalakrishnan (A-4) Statutory auditor of the company.and Srinivas Talluri (A-5).In addition to the above audit fee, the auditors received an amount of Rs.1.24 crores and Rs.1.27 crores for the said years towards rendering other services.These amounts were separately in the accounts though mandated as per the reporting norms.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 29 of 59v) Specific role of the two petitioners has been again narrated as follows:As per the records maintained by The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, Sri S. Gopalakrishnan (A-4), was a partner in the firm M/s Price Water House, Bangalore and not in M/s Price Waterhouse.By affixing his signature on the Audit Reports for and on behalf of Price Waterhouse he deliberately with the knowledge of its implications and consequences violated the requirements of the Auditing & Assurance Standards.In the Agreement entered between M/s SCSL and M/s Price Waterhouse, instead of affixing his signature, he has signed as Price Waterhouse contrary to the established procedure and practice whereby it is incumbent on an individual partner of the firm to affix his signature as a representative of the Auditor firm authenticating the contents of the report.Ramalinga Raju, A-1 and Sri B.Ramaraju (A-2).By virtue of his status as a Statutory Auditor it is incumbent on his part to verify the bank balances and FDRs claimed to be held by M/s SCSL besides other investments, liabilities and sales of the Company before certifying the Statutory Audit Report which forms the basis of Annual Financial Statement of the company.He has knowingly certifies the inflated/forged balance sheets prepared basing on the forged FDRs and other data with regard to the banks and also the status of the sales without making any mandatory independent verifications.The auditors are required to write directly to the banks and obtain confirmation of balances.After obtaining the confirmations they must compare these figures with the figures as appearing in the books of accounts LPA 885-886/2010 Page 31 of 59 of the company.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 31 of 59Gopalakrishnan received the confirmations from the banks which are in great variance with the figures provided by the management and appearing in the books of accounts.He has consciously overlooked the accounting irregularities committed by M/s SCSL for the past 7 years showing his complicity in the commission of the above said offences and he is liable as a co-conspirator.Letters generated on the letter pads of M/s Price Waterhouse were recovered from the computer systems of M/s SCSL.These letters were supposed to be written by the auditors addressed to the banks seeking confirmations about the balances.Sri S. Gopalakrishnan as part of the conspiracy got these letters generated in the computer systems of M/s SCSL for the purpose of creation of the records which depicts his privy and involvement in the conspiracy.He also made M/s SCSL to generate certain letters addressed to the banks directing the banks to directly inform the auditors.In the agreement entered into between M/s. SSCL and M/s. Price Waterhouse contrary to the established procedure and practice whereby it is incumbent on the individual partner of the firm to affix his signature as a representative of the Auditor firm authenticating the contents of the report.Sri Talluri Srinivas (A-5) having been aware of the fact that he never represents M/s. Price Waterhouse designated Statutory Auditors for M/s. SCSL has signed as ""Price Water House"" and thereby cheated the investors in furtherance of the conspiracy with Sri V. Srinivas (A-3), Sri B.Ramalinga Raju (A-1) and Sri B.The auditors are required to write directly to the banks and obtain confirmation of balances.After obtaining the confirmations should compare these figures with the figures as appearing in the books of accounts of the company.There is a discrepancy with regard to the existence of the Price Waterhouse, Hyderabad as Auditors in the registration with the ICAI, a statutory body.The ICAI has confirmed that Sri Talluri Srinivas is a member Price Waterhouse, Bangalore and not Price Waterhouse.As such the certification of Statutory Audit Reports by such non-member LPA 885-886/2010 Page 40 of 59 Audit Firms consequently invalidates the Annual Financial Statement of the Company which is a statutory requirement under law to invite investments from the prospective investors.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 40 of 59Letters generated on the letter pads of M/s Price Waterhouse were recovered from the computer systems of M/s SCSL.These letters were supposed to be written by the auditors addressed to the banks seeking confirmations of balances.Sri Talluri Srinivas as part of the conspiracy, got these letters generated in the computer systems of M/s. SCSL for the purpose of creation of records which depicts his privy and involvement in the conspiracy.He also made M/s SCSL to generate certain letters addressed to the banks directing the banks to directly inform to the auditors.However, these letters were generated merely for the purpose of record which shows the role of Sri Talluri Srinivas in the conspiracy.From the investigation, it is clear that the whole fraud was designed and orchestrated by Shri B.Ramalinga Raju (A-1), Shri B.Ramaraju (A-2) and Shri V.Srinivas (A-3) and they got the same implemented with the active connivance of Shri G. Ramakrishna (A-7), Shri D. Venkatapathi Raju (A-8) and Shri S. Srisailam Chetkuru (A-9).Further Sri G.Gopalakrishnan (A-4) and Shri Talluri Srinivas (A-5) have actively participated in the conspiracy by auditing the fudged balance sheets and certified the same and thereby connived with the other accused.Further Sri.B. Suryanarayana Raju (A-6) has actively participated in the conspiracy by assisting Sri B.Ramalinga Raju (A-1), Sri B.Ramaraju (A-2) in reaping maximum benefit from this fraud and in rotating funds amongst the companies.In view of the above have committed the offences of conspiracy, cheating, cheating by personation, generating forged valuation securities, forging the LPA 885-886/2010 Page 42 of 59 documents for the purpose of cheating and knowingly using these forged documents as genuine.The said list reads as under:""LIST OF WITNESSES IN THE MATTER OF SHRI S.

To be referred to the Reporter or not?Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Yes DIPAK MISRA, CJ Keeping in view the similitude pertaining to the legal controversy in both the appeals, despite the fact that there is a slight difference in the factual matrix, these appeals were heard together and are being disposed of by a common order.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 4 of 59Gopalakrishnan and Mr.Srinivas had been arrested by the local police and they were out of reach.As is manifest, on 20th February, 2009, the criminal investigation was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and RC No.4(S)/2009 was registered against Mr. S. Gopalakrishnan, Mr. Srinivas and seven other accused persons for offences punishable under Sections 409, 420, 468, 471, 477A, 201 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code.One of the conclusions recorded by the said group is to the following effect:As is evincible, on 7th April, 2009, the CBI filed its charge sheet in the Court of the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) arraigning Gopalakrishnan, Srinivas and seven others as accused persons.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 6 of 59The documents which were relied upon by the CBI was the report of the ICAI Group which was a part of the MDIT.At this juncture, the Director (Discipline) of ICAI placed a prima facie opinion before the disciplinary committee and the committee was of the prima facie view that the said chartered accountants were guilty of professional misconduct within the meaning of clauses (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9) of Part I of the Second Schedule to the CA Act. A prima facie opinion was also formed that the said two chartered accountants were guilty of other misconduct within the meaning of Section 22 read with Section 21 of the CA Act. On the basis of the said prima facie opinion, a notice was sent to the chartered accountants enclosing a copy of the prima facie opinion and requiring each of them to send their written statement along with supporting documents and a list of witnesses within 21 days.It is apt to note that at that time, both the appellants herein were in judicial custody and at that juncture, the CBI filed a supplementary charge sheet.On 4th February, 2010, Srinivas was enlarged on bail by virtue of the order passed by the Apex Court in Criminal Appeal No.257/2010 on certain conditions.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 7 of 59As pleaded, on 26th February, 2010, notices were issued by the ICAI to Srinivas with respect to the disciplinary proceedings pending against him as well as Ravindranath.Srinivas replied to the ICAI stating that Ravindranath had been cited as a witness in the criminal case pending before the Special Court, CBI against Srinivas.It was contended by Srinivas that his appearance as a witness in the disciplinary proceedings against Ravindranath would severely prejudice his position in the criminal case pending trial.As regards the disciplinary proceedings against him, he asseverated that he would be dealing with that separately and thereafter, on 26th March, 2010, he stated that the initiation of the disciplinary proceedings against him should be deferred since the alleged acts of commission or omission on the basis of which the disciplinary proceedings had commenced not only form the basis of a prima facie opinion but also form the basis of various charges against him in the criminal cases and, hence, any disclosure of his explanation or defences until the final conclusion of the criminal trial pending before the Special Court at Hyderabad would seriously impact his defence in the criminal trial.When the ICAI decided to proceed with the disciplinary LPA 885-886/2010 Page 8 of 59 proceedings, Srinivas filed WP(C) No. 2505/2010 and the learned Single Judge initially directed postponement of the disciplinary proceedings for some time.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 8 of 59As is reflectible, on 25th June, 2010, Gopalakrishnan was granted bail by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh with certain conditions and thereafter, similar proceeding was initiated against him and he also took the same plea.It was urged before the learned Single Judge that the charge sheet in the criminal case and the prima facie opinion formed by the Director (Discipline), ICAI are more or less identical and the list of witnesses in both the proceedings are same and if they are allowed to continue simultaneously, serious prejudice would be caused to the writ petitioners as their defence would be disclosed.A reference was made to the report dated 5th April, 2009 of the ICAI group which formed a part of the MDIT, the conclusion of which formed the basis for the prima facie opinion dated 17th September, 2009 of the Director (Discipline), ICAI and the said report LPA 885-886/2010 Page 9 of 59 formed the basis of the charge sheet and, hence, the allegations are identical.The ICAI charges against the appellant, in turn, relies on the charge sheet filed by the prosecution.The prosecution has also listed the Director (Discipline) of ICAI as a witness who had formed the prima facie opinion against the appellant for the purpose of issuance of the notice to show cause and, this is bound to cause prejudice to the appellant.The LPA 885-886/2010 Page 17 of 59 prosecution has also listed Sh.Similarly, certain witnesses are common and on their examination the appellant would be put in a disadvantageous position.The allegations, inter alia, involve complicated questions of facts pertaining to falsification of LPA 885-886/2010 Page 18 of 59 accounts and fabrication of documents, etc. which make the appellants presence imperative to assist his counsel.The appellant has to necessarily spend close to 10 to 12 hours a day to participate in the proceedings and to defend his life and liberty which is extremely time consuming.Therefore, the appellant will not have any effective opportunity to defend himself in the disciplinary proceedings as there will be no time left for preparing himself for the disciplinary proceedings.Therefore, the appellant would be severely prejudiced if the disciplinary proceedings are allowed to continue until the completion of the trial.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 18 of 59(b) In view of the conditions imposed by the Court in its order dated 25.06.2010 granting bail, it would be physically impossible for the appellant to defend himself before the ICAI without consulting his team members who had conducted the audit.It was, inter alia, a condition of bail that the appellant shall not tamper with any evidence and shall not influence the prosecution witnesses.The appellants team members have been arrayed as prosecution witnesses.Despite this glaring discrepancy and having both the confirmations i.e. the original confirmations received from the banks and the forged blank confirmations provided by the other accused, Sri S.Gopalakrishnan in furtherance of the conspiracy, has accepted forged bank confirmations provided by the accused, certified the same and incorporated in the final accounts.He has flouted the prescribed Audit and Assurance Standard number 30 of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, thereby facilitated the projection of falsified data in the Annual Financial Statements of the Compare continuously.The presentations made by him to the audit committee about the health of the company were misleading and in fact he gave a very good certification regarding the financial discipline and controls available in the company contrary to the reality.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 32 of 59As a consideration for his acts in accommodating the accused persons, he has received an exorbitant audit fee from M/s SCSL over and above the market rate which reflects a quid pro quo arrangements.Shri Talluri Srinivas (A-5) affixed his signature on the financial statements as a partner of M/s Price Waterhouse the Statutory Auditors for M/s. SCSL for the financial year 2007-2008.. Sri Talluri Srinivas continued the legacy of Sri S. Gopalakrishnan (A-4) and he actively took part in the conspiracy hatched by Sri V.Srinivas (A-3), Sri B. Ramalinga Raju (A-1) and Sri B. Ramaraju (A-In spite of this, Sir S. Gopalakrishnan deliberately did not make any extensive changes in the audit plan which clearly establishes his motives and intentions in allowing the fraudulent practices to continue in M/s SCSL.Sir Talluri Srinivas has also followed the suit in furtherance of the conspiracy allowed the above deficiencies to continue.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 38 of 59Even though as many as 135 control deficiencies were identified in the integrated audit conducted in accordance with the Standards of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board which has severe impact on the internal control and financial accounting.Gopalakrishnan continued the trend and deliberately did not LPA 885-886/2010 Page 39 of 59 bring these control deficiencies to the notice of the Audit Committee and thereby facilitated the continuance of the fraudulent practices unabated.He did not comment on these control deficiencies in his Audit Report even though they are material in nature, thereby his privy and active role in the conspiracy is established.Sri Talluri Srinivas also did not take remedial action and continued the same practices to continue which establishes his role in perpetuating the fraud by the other accused.The above acts of Sri Talluri Srinivas reveal the offences punishable u/s 120B r/w 420, 419, LPA 885-886/2010 Page 41 of 59 467, 471, 477A of the IPC.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 41 of 59Further they have falsified the accounts of the company and also caused disappearance of evidence of the offence to screen themselves from legal punishment.Therefore, all the accused are liable for commission of offences punishable under sections 120B r/w 420, 419, 467, 468, 471, 477A and 201 of the Indian Penal Code and substantive offences thereof.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 42 of 59In the course of hearing, Mr. Ramji Srinivasan has also filed the list of witnesses who would be examined in the disciplinary proceedings against the appellants.Quite apart from the above, it is contended that the appellants cannot take shelter under the umbrella that they have stopped practising inasmuch as the institute has no power to suspend their registration.Additionally, it is urged by learned senior counsel that the charges levelled against them do not involve complex questions of law and fact and, hence, it is not desirable to invite an interdiction in exercise of the inherent jurisdiction of this Court.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 56 of 59On a perusal of the comparative chart of the charges levelled in the disciplinary proceeding and the chargesheet in the criminal proceeding, the list of witnesses, the nature of enquiry, the purpose of enquiry and arraigning the appellants as accused persons in the criminal case are on a different base.In addition, the charges levelled against the appellants in the departmental proceeding/the proceeding under the Act do not involve grave and complex questions of law.LPA 885-886/2010 Page 57 of 59","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 409 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"He not only executed the possession receipt in that behalf but also filled in and filed a declaration form mentioning the names of the members of his family depending upon him.The other members of his family were his wife Parvatibai, his three sons Prakash, Vasant, Nivrutti and his daughter, Mangala.There is no dispute that Block No. 4 allotted to him consists of two rooms and a kitchen and a balcony in addition to the sanitary block.The prosecution case further is that in the year 1976 the Anti-Corruption Bureau received a report regarding the practice of some of the employees in the Government Central Press of sub-letting the Government quarters allotted to them at Bandra as well as Kala Chowky and of profiteering at the Government expense.But all that he had charged to Dr. Mrs. Ranganayaki was the same amount which he was paying to the Government.As mentioned above, the question involves a widespread social evil.Hundreds of them keep waiting for months and years together for their turn to arrive.The significance of this stringent condition will be mentioned presently.It is further mentioned in the order that the allotted residential accommodation could be used by the Government employee only for his own residence and for the residence of the members of his family.In pursuance of the report, investigation was conducted in connection with the various Government quarters.It was on the basis of this F.I.R. that an offence was registered by Sub-inspector Desai on the same date 17th March, 1978 and after duly obtaining the sanction for investigation, the investigation was carried on.During the course of the investigation the statements of Dr. Mrs. Ranganayaki and others were recorded.The trial Court accepted the evidence of Dr. Mrs. Ranaganayaki entirely.The learned Judge turned down the argument that her evidence was not corroborated by pointing out that Dr. Ranganayaki was not a complainant in this case.He negatived the contention based upon the provisions of Government Premises Eviction Act observing that after all the civil and criminal remedies were concurrent remedies and the aims of both of them were entirely different.Before me, at the very outset, Shri Samant, the learned Counsel for the accused, stated specifically and categorically that he was not disputing and was specifically conceding the two factual positions.Secondly, he conceded that her evidence that she was paying Rs. 110/- per month also could not be cavilled at.The learned Counsel specifically proceeded to advance his quite vehement and repeated arguments, made after taking adjournment after adjournment for bringing various authorities on the points, upon the explicit concessions that the findings recorded by the learned Judge about the exclusive possession of Dr. Mrs. Ranganayaki and about the payment of compensation of Rs. 110/- per month to the accused were unimpeachable findings.The concessions, to my mind, were not only justified but unavoidable.I have gone through the entire evidence on record and after going through the evidence of Dr. Mrs. Ranaganayaki as also the other evidence, I find that no room is left for doubt that it is just inconceivable that Dr. Mrs. Ranganayaki would have been living in the premises along with the accused during the relevant period or that she had been allowed to reside in the premises without payment of any monies to the accused.So far as he himself was concerned even if he had received a rupee more than Rs. 110/- from Dr. Ranganayaki, he could possibly, be said to be helping himself with such wrongful gain of a rupee.But in order to cut short the argument.","['Section 5 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 409 in The Indian Penal

+"(Delivered on this the 2nd day of August, 2018) This criminal appeal under Section 374 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure has been preferred by the appellant being aggrieved of the judgment dated 27/11/2017 passed by the Sessions Judge, Chhindwara in ST No.121/2015, whereby the present appellant has been convicted under Section 304 (Part-I) of IPC and sentenced to five years' rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.5,000/- with default clause.In brief the facts of the case are that on 7.2.2015 at around 9:15 PM in the night complainant 2 Mitesh's elder brother Monu @ Ritesh and co-accused Vijesh had an altercation near Hanuman temple.On hearing the same complainant Mitesh and his father Ram Prasad went to the house of co-accused Vishnu where Monu @ Ritesh was telling that accused Vijesh had assaulted him as he was asking for the consideration which was fetched by selling his motorcycle, at that time other accused Vishnu and Ajesh, the present appellant also came there with sticks in their hands.Complainant Mitesh and his father Ram Prasad were abused and were thrashed by sticks.Ram Prasad got injured in the incident and fell down after receiving the injuries and when other villagers intervened, they were separated.After the incident the injured was taken to the Primary Health Centre, Junnardev and intimation of the crime was given to ASI C.S.Uike, who recorded the Dehati Nalishi (Ex.P-27).Injured Ram Prasad (deceased) was examined by Dr. Raghuvir Singh (PW-9) vide MLC (Ex.P-14).Similarly, Dr. Raghuvir Singh (PW-9) also examined injured Mitesh, who had injury on his right hand and was advised for x-ray.Ram Prasad succumbed to the injuries at about 1:45 AM in the night on 8.2.2015, hence a Marg intimation was also made and in the post-mortem report 3 prepared by Dr.Manish Gathoriya (PW-10), the following injuries were found on the person of the deceased:- "" "" ""So far as injured Mitesh is concerned, he had fracture of third metacarpal of his right hand vide Ex.P- 12, which has been proved by Dr.Shikar Surana (PW-8).After investigation, a charge sheet was filed and the learned Judge of the trial Court after recording the evidence has convicted the appellant as aforesaid, whereas other co-accused persons namely Vishnu and Vijesh were convicted under Section 323 of IPC and sentenced to the period one already undergone by them.Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the appellant has wrongly been convicted by the learned Judge of the trial Court, as the incident has taken place on the spur of moment and there was no intention to cause the death of deceased Ram Prasad.On the other hand, learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer of the appellant and has submitted that the appellant has rightly been convicted by the learned Judge of the trial Court, and hence his appeal may be dismissed.7. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.In the post-mortem report, it is clearly mentioned that three injuries which were received by the deceased are lacerated wounds, however it appears that in his deposition before the Court, the injury No.1 has wrongly been typed as incised wound ""kata huwa ghav"", instead of lacerated wound i.e. ""fata huwa ghav"" and the cause of death is also stated to be shock arising out excessive bleeding due to head injury.In this regard the deposition of PW-1 Suresh assumes importance, who happens to be an independent witness and has not been declared hostile.According to him, he came out of his house after hearing the persons quarrelling with each other and saw that Monu @ Ritesh and Mitesh were beating Vishnu, at that time Ajesh and Vijesh also came and in this scuffle an assault was made by Ajesh on the head of Ram Prasad, who fell down.In these circumstances, when this witness has not been declared hostile, the prosecution is bound by his deposition.In this regard Dr. Raghuvir Singh (PW-9) in 6 his cross examination has admitted that on 07.10.2015 he also examined Vishnu Suryavanshi who had received the following injuries:-^^1 duiVh ds ck,a fgLls ij 4x2 bap Ropk dh xgjkbZ rd A 2 ck,a ?kqVus esa fNys dk fu'kku Fkk ftldk vkdkj 1x1 bap Fkk vkSj yky dyj esa Fkk A 3 nk,a ?kqVus esa fNys dk fu'kku Fkk ftldk vkdkj 1x1 bap Fkk vkSj yky dyj esa Fkk A^^ The said injuries were simple in nature.This witness also examined Munnibai wife of Vishnu Suryavanshi who had received minor abrasions.The other witnesses have also deposed more or less on the same lines and all of them have stated that the incident has taken place in front of Vishnu's house.It is also on record that both the parties are closely related to each other and the genesis of the incident is said to be the amount which Monu @ Ritesh was demanding from Vishnu.Thus, in the considered opinion of this Court, there appears no intention on the part of the appellant to cause death of Ram Prasad, as apparently the incident took place on the spur of moment in front of accused Ajesh's house whose father Vishnu's was beaten by complainant's side and thus he also intervened in the said 7 fight and caused injuries to Ram Prasad, which cannot be said to be premeditated in any manner and appears to have been so cause on the spur of the moment.Though looking to the injuries received by Ram Prasad, it may be said that while causing such injuries, the appellant must have knowledge that such injury may cause the death of the deceased and his intention to commit the murder does not appear to be present on record.Thus, under the facts and circumstances of the case instead of Section 304-I of IPC, the appellant is liable to be convicted under Section 304-II of IPC.Although in both these sections under Section 304-I and 304-II of IPC, the maximum imprisonment is life, however there is fine distinction between these two provisions and it is of intention and knowledge of causing the death, and the knowledge of death shall definitely be on a lower pedestal than intention to cause death.In the circumstances, instead of conviction under Section 304 Part-I of IPC, the appellant is convicted under Section 304-II of IPC.So far as question of quantum of sentence is concerned, the submission advanced by the learned counsel for the appellant that the appellant may be 8 sentenced to the period already undergone by him, as he has already undergone three years and six months' RI out of five years' RI, appears to be reasonable.In the result, the criminal appeal stands partly allowed.","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal

+"Jai Narain, who is the petitioner here, was the informant.A free translation of what he said is as under : 'Iam a resident of village Deendarpur and cultivate land.A civil litigation was going on between my father, Ami Lal, and Fazal.Mohammed in respect of some land.Yet, there can be complexities as is borne out by this petition for revision, which has arisen in the following circumstances.The case against them appears sufficiently from the first information recorded by the police.The land was about 30 or 35 bighas in area.In front of the house of Raghunath and Kanwar Singh, there is some land belonging to the Gaon Sabha on which everyone throws their garbage.Today, when Sarvati, the wife of Chhotu Ram, who is my uncle's son, was throwing garbage there as usual, Zile Singh, Khushi Ram and Fazal Mohammed came there and using foul abuses they scolded her.They forbade her from throwing garbage there.IN the meantime, on hearing the noise, my father and Chhotu Ram, the son of my uncle, came there and told Fazal Mohammed and the others not to use abusive, language.On hearing the loud voices, Raghunath, Mani Ram, Attar Singh, Reham Ali.Kanwar Singh and Rattan Singh also came there.At that time, Fazal Mohammed was holding a ballam (a short spear), Zile Singh a bhala (a large spear), Khushi Ram a jaili (a rake), and the others had lathis (staffs) in their hands.Then Fazal Mohammed attacked my father with the ballam, and my father fell down as he had been hit on the head and face.In order to save him, I and Chhotu Ram lay upon my father, who had fallen to, the ground.Zile then struck me with the bhala and I sustained injuries .on my head arid left leg.Raghunath, Mani Ram, Rattan Singh, Kanwar Singh and Attar Singh caught Chhotu Rain.He, too, has sustained injuries.Ram struck me and my father with both sides of the jaili he was holding and caused injuries.In the course of this, Deen Dayal,.Subey Singh and Jage Ram came to our rescue with lathis, and saved us from their clutches.MY father Ami Lal had become unconscious at the spot.Thereafter, all of us first came to the Najafgarh dispensary.There, my father succumbed to his injuries.All of us who were injured were then brought to Safdarjang Hospital in a vehicle belonging to the hospital.I know Fazal Mohammed, Khushi Ram, Zile Singh, Reham Ali, Raghunath, Mani Ram, Ratt an Singh, Attar Singh and Kanwar Singh from before.(These are the nine respondents).They collected together and wounded me, my father Ami Lal, and Chhotu Ram with the bhala, ballam, jaili and lathis with ' the intention of murdering us.I am lodging this complaint against them.This incident occurred at about 9.30 a.m.' IN the course of in,ves'iigation, the police recorded the statements of a number of persons.(3) On 9th March 1981, the Additional Sessions Judge framed three joint charges against the respondents.In all of them it was alleged that the offence charged had been committed in furtherance of their common intention, and section 34 of the Indian Penal Code was recited..The second was under se Section 307 for attempting to murder Ghhota Ram.the third, was under sections 323 and 324 for having voluntarily caused' simple hurt to Jai Narain by means of a sharp edged and blunt weapons'.Before framing these charges, the matter was fully argued and the judge made a reasoned order.On all these scores, Jai Narain is aggrieved and seeks revision of that order.Although the State has not itself applied for revision (I was told that its petition was delayed by administrativ.e procedures but was in the offing), the Additional Public Prosecutor unreservedly supported all the submissions made on behalf of Jai Narain.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"The factual background which needs to be noticed is as follows:-""On 9th November, 2005, DD No.30-A (copy Ex.PW5/A) was assigned to Sub Inspector Lal Chand Yadav at Police Station Welcome, Delhi for investigation who alongwith Constable Des Raj went to Prachin Hanuman Mandir, Welcome, Delhi at about 4.00 pm where Sushil Kumar Tiwari met them.Sub Inspector Lal Chand Yadav, Investigating Officer recorded the statement of Sushil Kumar Tiwari and after making endorsement thereon sent the same to police station for registration of this case.Sushil Kumar Tiwari produced appellant as well as dagger and mobile phone, besides a sum of rupees 150/- before the investigating officer.The aforesaid objects were converted into separate parcels and sealed with the seal of LC and were taken into possession vide memo Ex.PW1/E and Ex.PW1/A respectively.The Crl.A. No. 397/2006 Page 2 sketch of the dagger was prepared before converting it into a parcel.Appellant was arrested.Sushil Kumar Tiwari was having stab injuries on first finger of his right hand and was sent to Hospital for medical examination.In this appeal, Appellant is challenging impugned judgment of 11th May 2006 of learned Additional Sessions Judge, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi, vide which he has been convicted for committing offences under Section 455/392/394 and 397 of Indian Penal Code and also under Section 25 of the Arms Act and order of the trial court of the same day, vide which he has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for four years and Crl.A. No. 397/2006 Page 1 to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- separately on two counts, i.e., for the offences under Section 392 and 455 of the Indian Penal Code.In default of payment of fine he has been directed to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months each.Appellant is further sentenced by the trial court to undergo rigorous imprisonment for seven years with fine of Rs.1,000/-, separately on two counts, i.e., for the offence punishable under Section 394 and 397 of Indian Penal Code.In the event of default of payment of fine, Appellant has been directed to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months each.The above said substantive sentences have been ordered, by the trial court, to run concurrently.Investigating officer inspected the site and prepared the site plan Ex.PW5/B, recorded the statements of witnesses, got the appellant medically examined and thereafter he was produced before the court concerned.After completion of investigation, charge sheet for the offence under Section 379/382/506/ 411/394/ 397/393 of IPC and Section 25/27 of Arms Act was filed against the accused/appellant.""Since the Appellant/accused had claimed trial in this case, by pleading not guilty to the charges framed against him for the offences punishable under Section 455/392/394/397/506 of Indian Penal Code and for offence punishable under Section 25 of the Arms Act, before the trial court, evidence of six witnesses was recorded during the trial in support of the charges framed against the Appellant.Out of them, the main witnesses are the injured/first informant - Sushil Kumar (PW-4); eye witness Dhiraj Shukla (PW-2); Dr. Prabhakar (PW-6), who has proved the MLC - Ex.PW6/A of injured (PW-4) and the Investigating Officer SI Lal Chand, (PW-5).Appellant in his statement under Section 313 of Cr.P.C., before the trial court, denied the prosecution case and stated that he was going to Ghazipur Mandi and Constable Desh Raj (PW-1) met him at Welcome turn and told him that he was called by SHO, Police Station Welcome and took him there and framed Crl.A. No. 397/2006 Page 3 him in this case.However, Appellant did not lead any evidence in his defence before the trial court.After the trial, Appellant stands convicted and sentenced as noticed above.Contention advanced by both the sides have been pondered over and the evidence on record has been scrutinised.In short, the prosecution case is that on the night intervening 8th and 9th November 2005, during the night at about 3.30 AM, Appellant/accused alongwith his associate trespassed into Pracheen Kuainwala Mandir at A-1 Block, Welcome, Delhi and removed cash of Rs.150/- and a mobile phone from the pocket of the shirt of Sushil Kumar (PW-4) and the said shirt was hanging on a peg on the wall inside the aforesaid temple.While associate of Appellant / Accused was searching for the goods in the other room of the temple, Dheeraj Shukla (PW-2) woke up to urinate and he noticed the Appellant/accused in the temple and raised alarm of thief-thief.Then, Sushil Kumar (PW-4) also woke up and rushed towards the Appellant/accused, who gave a knife/ dagger blow on the right hand of Sushil Kumar (PW-4).However, Appellant/accused was overpowered by Sushil Kumar (PW-4) and from the possession of the Appellant/accused cash of Rs.150/- and mobile phone of Sushil Kumar (PW-4) and the knife/dagger was recovered.However, trial judge has concluded that the knife/dagger Ex.P-1 was used by accused/appellant, when he attempted to carry away the stolen property and hurt was caused to injured Sushil Kumar (PW-4) while committing robbery.A bare perusal of the testimony of the injured (PW-4) makes it clear that injured (PW-4) got up upon hearing the alarm of 'Thief-Thief"" being raised by eye witness (PW-2) and he had seen that eye witness (PW-2) and accused/appellant were grappling and when injured (PW-4) went to rescue eye witness (PW-2), then appellant/ accused gave knife blow to injured (PW-4) as soon as he reached near the injured.It has also come in Crl.A. No. 397/2006 Page 5 the evidence of injured (PW-4) that he had snatched the knife of the hands of accused/appellant.Possibility of injured (PW-4) sustaining 1/2x1/2 Cm injury on index finger of his right hand, in the process of injured (PW-4) snatching the knife from the hand of accused/appellant, cannot be ruled out.It has not come in the evidence of the injured (PW-4) or the eye witness (PW-2) that accused/appellant had caused hurt to the injured (PW-4) while committing robbery or that accused/appellant had used knife/dagger Ex.P-1 while attempting to carry away the stolen property.Thus, it is evident from the evidence on record that the aforesaid finding of the trial court is factually incorrect.Apparently, there is misreading of the evidence by the trial judge, which renders the conviction of accused/appellant for the offence under Section 392/394/397 of the Indian Penal Code illegal and is hereby set aside.Simply because the injury/lacerated wound on the index finger of the hand has been opined to be blunt/simple in the MLC Ex.P-1 as it has not come in the evidence on record about knife/dagger Ex.P-1 being blunt on one side.In any case, nothing turns on it as the accused/appellant was arrested at the spot and the aforesaid knife/dagger Ex.P-1 was recovered from him at the spot only.The offence made out against accused/appellant falls under Section 379 and 324 of the Crl.A. No. 397/2006 Page 6 Indian Penal Code which is lesser offence than those under Section 392/394/397 of the Indian Penal Code, for which accused/appellant had faced the trial.Appellant be informed of this order through the concerned Jail Superintendent.","['Section 394 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 397 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 392 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The prosecution case regarding arrest of these two accused was sought to be established by PW16 Insp.Rajender Gautam who deposed that on 14/6/1996 he along with Insp.Paras Nath, (PW-101) Insp.Suresh Chander, SI Surender Verma etc. joined the investigation of the case.At about 6:20 PM PW-101 got secret information that A3 along with his companion, a Kashmiri youth would be going to Gorakpur in Vaishali express.He organized a team and they all reached New Delhi Railway station.ACP PP Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 134 Singh also joined the police party at New Delhi Railway Station.They all reached Platform no. 4 of New Delhi Railway Station and held a 'nakabandi'.At about 7.30 PM at the pointing out of the informer, A3 and A 4 were apprehended; both were interrogated by Insp.Paras Nath and were arrested.Their personal search memos Ex. PW16/A and 16/B were prepared.The witness was declared hostile, because he did not testify about many particulars.In the cross examination by the prosecution, he said that he had witnessed the arrest of A-6 and A-7 and witnessed the personal search memos (in relation to them) Ex. PW-16/D and PW-16-E; he also claimed - in cross examination by prosecution - to have witnessed the recovery of a Re. 2/- note (seized by Memo Ex. PW-16/F).Similarly, he agreed to the prosecutions suggestion about having witnessed the disclosure statements of A-5 Latif (Ex. PW-16/H) and A-6 Killey (Ex. PW-16/I).He stated further that A-9 Javed and A-6 were arrested in his presence.He agreed with the suggestion that Latif and Killey were arrested in his presence, given by the prosecution.However, he also stated that due to passage of time, he could not identify Killey and Latif.He admitted in prosecutions cross examination that Mirza Hussain had made disclosure statement Ex. PW-16/J, and pointed out Shop No. 3/32 at Bhogal, through memo Ex. PW-16/K, and Killey pointed out to Shop No. C-1/59, Lajpat Nagar (Ex PW-16/B).The witness was cross examined about where the police party was present before moving to New Delhi Railway station, whether other passengers and members of the public were present on the railway platform, whether the entire paperwork was done on the railway station; if so how long it took to complete, etc. The witness was unaware if anyone was arrested from Gorakhpur, nor knew the name of the police station at Gorakhpur from whose jurisdiction any such Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 135 arrest took place, or even the locality from where any such arrest took place; he said it was near the Gorakhpur railway station.149. PW-39 corroborated PW-16 and deposed that he joined in the investigation on 14.6.1996 along with PW-16, other police personnel and PW-101 and went to Jama Masjid near Urdu bazaar where at about 06:20 PM, information was received that Naushad with one other boy would go to Gorakh Pur from New Delhi Railway Station by Vaishali Express and that from there they would proceed to Nepal.PW-101 organized a raiding party and informed ACP P.P. Singh on the phone.All of them reached the Railway Station; P.P. Singh also reached there.On the pointing out of informer at about 07:35 PM, Naushad and Saba were apprehended.In his cross examination by the APP, he admitted that the police had brought two persons with muffled faces and on un-muffling their faces, he had admitted to the police that they had purchased a solder iron and wire from Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 155 his shop.He said that one of these persons may have been Naushad (this after Naushad was pointed out to him by APP); he was not certain of the identity of the other person being Naza.He said that the pointing out memo had been prepared and he had signed on it at point B (Ex. PW-31/K).This memo is dated 19.06.1996, and stated that Naushad and Naza, under police custody, voluntarily with muffled faces pointed out to Imperial Sound and Service and identified Jitender Singh and stated that on 13.05.1996 they had purchased a soldering iron and wire from that shop and that they had used the solder for making the bomb.The omission to cross examine PW-31 and 39 was adversely commented in the findings.Case of the prosecution is that A4 led the police party at BJ24, Shalimar Bagh and from there obtained Rs. 1 lac on the strength of two rupee currency note from Mangal Chand.""In para 243, the Trial Court discussed the sequence of events; the police party had arranged to go to Shalimar Bagh; at that stage, PW-35 was joined in the proceedings.According to his deposition, SI Sanjay Kumar, A-4 as well as another police officer reached the premises at Shalimar Bagh.I however, told the police that one of those two accused persons namely Mirza Nisar Hussain @ Nasa who is present in the court might have purchased from me.It is Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 169 wrong to suggest that I categorically identified accused Mohd. Ali Bhat @ Mohd. Killey as the only person who came at my shop with accused Mira Hussain @ Naza for purchasing battery on 21.5.1996 when police removed the muffled from his face...""In the cross examination PW-60 Rajesh Kumar further stated that; ""..... after picking up from my shop the van was driven to Central Road to Masjid road, where from a man from Vijay Electrical shop was picked up and from there in the same van I was taken to one police station situated in Lodhi road area....""He also stated that:The police witnesses, however, sought to depose that PW-60 had identified A-5 and A-6 as those who had approached him and purchased a battery.The Trial Court discussed the circumstances surrounding the arrest of Javed (A-9) and Asadullah (A-10); it believed that the two accused persons were arrested from Ahmedabad on 01.06.1996 along with Rashid and Juber Bhatt @Maqbool Bhatt from near Rupali Cinema.The Court relied on the testimonies of PW-98, PW-99, and the Judgment of Ld.The Court observed that the stay of the four, including A-9 and A-10 at Anukul Guest house in Ahmedabad on 24.05.1996 was proved by entry made in the hotel register at Serial number Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 183 4310 dated 25.05.1996; it was in the name of Rashid.However their stay at Anukul Hotel and arrest dated 01.06.1996 was believed.The object of the gathering was not proved and the articles recovered from their possession were not able to connect the accused with the crime.The Trial Court held that A-9 was not able to show the purpose of his visit to Ahmedabad and why he alongwith his associates had stayed at Anukul Guest House on 24.05.996; it was also held that the presence of A-9 in a suspicious circumstance in Ahmedabad from 24.05.1996 to 01.06.1996 and his failure to explain the purpose of his visit was an incriminating circumstance against him.As far as A-10 was concerned, the Trial Court held that his mere apprehension on 01.06.1996 and his stay at Anukul Hotel on 24.05.1996 without any further incriminating evidence was not enough to connect him with the commission of offence.The Counsel for the Appellants urged that there was no evidence on record to show where the accused persons were from 25.05.1996 to 01.06.1996 (i.e. after they checked out from Anukul Hotel and till they were arrested).Javed (A-9) in his statement under Section 313 Cr.Even in his confessional statement (Ex.PW-100/A; pg.220 Vol.7), Javed, in reply to Question 1 stated Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 184 that he was arrested from a hotel in Ahmedabad on 24.05.1996 at about 03:00 PM.It would therefore be necessary to analyze the evidence of the two Gujarat Policemen, PW-98 and PW-99 in this regard.PW-98, B.R. Patil, deposed that in May 1996, while he was posted as DSP, ATS Ahmedabad, a TP was received giving information that Asadullah and Rashid would be crossing over the Indo Nepal border and that they would be reaching Gujarat to carry out explosions in Ahmedabad.Rajvanshis (PW-99s) team started searching for these persons in Ahmedabad.He further deposed that on 01.06.1996, PW-99 found 4 persons who disclosed their names as Asadullah (A-10), Rashid Ahmed, Juber Bhatt (Zulfikar) and Javed Khan (A-9).They were interrogated by PW-99 and an FIR 12/1996 was lodged against them u/s 120B, 121, 122 IPC.He further deposed that on 02.06.1996 further investigation of the case was handed over to him; PW-99 had prepared the personal search memos and seizure memos of the accused.PW-98 identified accused Javed (A-9) and pointed to another accused and identifies him as Asadullah (A-10).However the accused said that his name was Abdul Gunny Goni to which the witness stated that Asadullah was one of the aliases of Abdul Gunny Goni.PW-98 further deposed that during the investigation Javed (A-9) made a disclosure statement regarding the bomb blast at Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi before Insp.Rajvanshi (PW-99).PW-99, B.M. Rajvanshi, of Gujarat Police deposed that on 24.08.1995 Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 185 he was posted in the Anti-Terrorist Squad, Ahmedabad, Gujarat and that on 23.05.1996 he was ordered by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, ATS to look into intelligence received regarding two terrorists Asadullah and Rashid entering India from Nepal.The tele-printer message and fax received by the Director General of Gujarat Police stated that these two terrorists would be reaching Ahmedabad via Mumbai from Kathmandu and that they would be renting a house in Ahmedabad and would plan explosions in big markets in Ahmedabad.PW-99 further deposed that SI Wagela informed him about these facts and thereafter he went to the hotel and saw Rashids name in the hotel register.He deposed to searching the four persons and that at around noon they found four suspicious persons near Rupali Cinema and his bringing them to the ATS office.He further deposed that after interrogation it was discovered that the said four persons had come from Kathmandu with the intention to sabotage the city.He further deposed that the 4 persons arrested were Asadullah (A-10), Rashid, Javed Khan (A-9) and Maqbool Butt.An FIR bearing no 12/1996 was lodged against them u/s 120B, 121, 122 IPC.PW-99 further deposed that Asadullah made a disclosure statement in which he gave details about how the conspiracy to cause sabotage in India was hatched in Pakistan.He further deposed that the fact that Asadullah and Javed were involved in the Lajpat Nagar blast was disclosed by both the accused.He further deposed that he prepared both the disclosure statements (Ex.PW-99/A and Ex. PW-99/B).On the basis of Javeds (A-9s) disclosure statement ATS Ahmedabad sent a wireless message Ex.PW-91/A and Ex.PW-91/B on 02.06.1996 to Delhi Police informing them about the possible involvement of A-10, A-9 and Maqbool Butt in the Lajpat Nagar blast.In the wireless message, ATS Ahmedabad also mentioned about delivery of explosives at Wajid Kasais house in Delhi.They used to live in Naya Bazar, Kathmandu.In April 1996, prior to Eid he had seen a bag and an attach (case) in the room they used to reside in.The bag contained gun powder (Barud) and the attach contained a wireless set, detonator, time pencil and remote control.He further stated that Javed Seniors (Javed Kirwas A-15) boss Bilal Beg (A-11), whom he (A-9) had never seen, used to reside in Pakistan.On 29.04.1996, the day of Eid, Julfikar alias Ayub came from Pakistan to Kathmandu and both A-9 and Latif (A-7) went to receive him at the airport (Bilal Beg had told Latif that Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 189 Julfikar had worn a black pant and a yellow colour shirt).A-9 further stated that he asked Zulfikar whether he lives in Pakistan to which Julfikar replied that he is not a citizen of Pakistan and was a resident of Kashmir; he had gone to Pakistan for training.A-9 further stated that he showed Zulfikar the attach and bag and asked him what type of articles were kept in it; Zulfikar replied that they were Time Pencil, Detonator and Remote Control.A-9 knew about the wireless set from before.On 06.05.1996 two more persons came from Pakistan and stayed with them at Kathmandu.Both these persons told Latif (A-7) that nobody should visit their room; A-9 did not know their names.On 08.05.1996 Javed Kirwa (A-15), Mahmood Killey (A-6), Naza (A-5) and Riyaz Moula (A-13) came to Kathmandu (A-9, Latif A-7 and Javed Kirwa A-15) used to work together.In the evening of 08.05.1996 Javed Kirwa (A-15) asked A-9 to accompany him to Delhi alongwith a bag containing gun-powder (barud) and two detonators.On 10.05.1996 Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15) had sent Naza (A-5) to Delhi to make arrangements for the blast in Delhi.On the evening of 11.05.1996 A-9, with Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15), Mohd. Killey (A-6), Riyaz Maula (A-13) and Javed Soparewala left for Delhi from Kathmandu.In the morning of 12.05.1996 they reached the border.A-9 remained at the border and the rest moved ahead.Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15) and Naza (A-5) had asked him (i.e A-9) to leave the bag at Nazas friends house i.e. at Wajid Kasais house (PW-13).The Trial Court, in its impugned judgment, has highlighted - indeed gone into some details - about the prosecutions deficiencies, in examining witnesses, failure to follow leads, and present evidence sufficient to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against all those brought to trial (A-1 to A-10).On an analysis of the evidence, the Trial Court concluded that the materials proved before it were inadequate, as far as four accused were concerned (A-4, A-7, A-8 and A-10).This resulted in their acquittal.So far as A-1 and A-2 were concerned, the Court held that apart from recovery of explosives, there was no material to prove their role as conspirators in the bomb blast; the Court also held that there was no evidence to show that A-1 and A-2 had facilitated, or participated in, movement of materials, resources or in the planning of the crime.The prosecution has miserably failed to justify as to why no TIP of the case property recovered in this case or that of the accused persons arrested in the case conducted from the prosecution witnesses.The case of the prosecution is that the accused persons led the police team at various places during investigation and pointed out various places from where they had arranged articles for preparation of cylinder bomb planted in the maruti car in question.Perusal of the file reveals that number of prosecution witnesses examined by the police during investigation and whose statements were recorded under Section 161 Cr.PC have turned hostile and did not support the prosecution.The police during investigation did not seize relevant record pertaining to the visits/stay of the accused persons in the hotels/guest houses prior to their arrest.Statements of the concerned employees/Managers of the hotels were not recorded.The police did not join the local police at any stage during investigation and did not make any entries of their visits out side Delhi.They were arrested and a personal search was conducted (Ex.PW-16/A and Ex.PW-16/B).Disclosure statement of A-4 was recorded (Ex.PW-16/C) in the Operation Cell.The witness signed it.The Appellant A-3 questioned his arrest, as claimed by the police and submitted that the prosecution did not prove this circumstance.Having regard to this , and the fact that PW- 13 (who is supposed to have been met and been entrusted with explosives, and who in turn disclosed about A-3 to A-9), never supported the prosecution case, the first link in the chain about A-3's involvement in itself is not proved. A-3 therefore argued that his involvement in and further role not having been proved, the prosecution was unable to establish the primary facts as to how he was one of the perpetrators of the crime.Counsel emphasized the fact that this link in the chain of circumstances alleged against A-3 was vital; having snapped it, the prosecution had been dealt with a severe blow at the initial threshold and the Trial Court fell into error in proceeding to hold as it did that he was involved in the bomb blast.It was next argued that one of the reasons for the acquittal of A-4 was based on the ground that the circumstances of his arrest were not proved.In not having done so and having glossed over the fatal infirmities alleged against A-4, which were material and relevant for A-3, the Trial Court fell into error.Although PW-105 deposed about his presence in the railway station, the fact remains that none of the other three witnesses i.e. PW- 16, PW- 39 and PW- 101 mentioned about his appearance during the proceedings at all.The prosecution had alleged that soon after the bomb Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 137 blast, A-3 went missing.However, A-3 was not traceable.In the circumstances, the police kept vigil near his house.There is some other evidence by way of oral testimony of other witnesses to this effect.However, PW- 92 did not support the prosecution.A-3 on the other hand relied upon the testimony of PW- 92 that in fact on 28th of May 1996, he witnessed him (A-3) being taken away by the police.On the basis of this as well as a telegram said to have been sent by a A-3's father, to the National Human rights Commission, it was argued that the arrest in fact never took place on 14-06-996 and was a completely stage-managed affair.The prosecution had almost closed its evidence when an application under Section 311 Cr.PC was moved almost 12 years after the incident, and the testimony of this witness was permitted to be recorded.However, PW-16 did not mention about PW-105's presence.In these circumstances, there is some doubt as to whether PW-105 was present during the arrest and the immediate aftermath.The argument on behalf of A-3 that A-9's confession did not mention him, though attractive, is not relevant, and is inconsequential.A-9s role appears to have been to reach Delhi via Gujarat and hand over the explosives.This seems to be the substance and tenor of his statement made to the Gujarat police immediately after his arrest and in the disclosure statement.Therefore, it was not necessary for him to mention A-3 or his role.For inexplicable reasons, PW- 13 (who was supposed to have been given the explosives, and in turn facilitated the handing over or actually handed them over to the other accused involved in scheming and Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 139 implementing the ghastly crime) was not named as accused.PW- 13 did not support the prosecution story at all during the trial.The court therefore had to deal with this situation.The prosecution had recorded a statement from Wajid during the course of the investigation which mentioned A-3. PW-13 did not support this and he turned hostile during the trial.That would, in this Courts opinion, itself not give a lie to the entire circumstance leading to the possible role of A-9 which may otherwise be independently proved as also the circumstances of his arrest.Recoveries made at the behest of A-3 Naushad from his residence (Circumstance No. 10 - para 181 of the impugned judgment)The Trial Court held that A-3s statement after arrest, i.e. Ex. PW 31/B pursuant to which he led the police team to his residence at P7, First Floor, DDA Flats, Turkman Gate, Delhi from where, he led to the recovery of two RDX bricks (Ex. PW18/64 and 65) in a green polythene bag (Ex. P17); a timer watch (Ex. P8), the iron solder (Ex. P9), a wire Ex.P10, screw driver Ex.P11, pliers Ex. P12, wire cutter Ex. P13, two araldite tubes Ex. P14, electric wire Ex. P15 and one gas cylinder had all been proved.The witnesses who spoke about this circumstance were PW-31, PW-41 and PW-101, who were members of the raiding party.The two RDX slabs were seized pursuant to A-3 leading the police to a room on top of the premises, and pulling it; they were lying under a steel box.Other articles recovered were a timer-watch (Ex. P8), an iron solder (Ex. P9), a wire Ex.P10, screw driver Ex.P11, pliers Ex. P12, wire cutter Ex. P13, two araldite tubes Ex. P14, electric wire Ex. P15 and one gas cylinder.The witnesses mentioned that the raid took place during early hours of 15/6/1996, after A-3s disclosure statement was recorded pursuant to his arrest the previous evening.The prosecution had relied on the testimony of Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 142 PW-92, Abdul Samad, who resiled from the statement recorded during investigation.He also admitted his signatures on the recovery memo.The prosecution version about the circumstances surrounding the recovery of the RDX, in the opinion of the Court, was adequately established.The disclosure statement of A-3 mentioned that those explosives were hidden in his house; he led the police to the place, resulting in the recovery.As far as the testimony of PW-92 goes, undoubtedly he did not support the prosecution.However, he did not deny his signatures on the recovery memo; he also mentioned that A-3 was arrested by the police, but much earlier.Now, even if his testimony were unsupportive of the prosecution, yet two things were not denied by him.These, in the opinion of the Court, lend corroboration to the prosecution witnesses deposition about the recovery of RDX slabs from A-3s premises.Naushads stay at Gorakhpur (Circumstance No. 13 - para 208 of the impugned judgment)The prosecution had sought to prove that A-3 Naushad fled Delhi after the bombing incident, and went to Gorakhpur, where he stayed in Gupta Guest house.The witness recorded the statement of the person from whom he had got the photocopy (Mr Chakarborty).He then went to Gupta Hotel from where he obtained a photocopy of the visitors book (Ex. Pw-40/C which was seized by memo (Ex. PW-40/D) which had the details of Mohd. Naushad.He went back to Gorakhpur on 29.6 1996 with Constable Surinder and seized one original visitors book (Ex. PW-40/1, through recovery memo Ex PW-40/E) from Hotel Gupta (where A3 had stayed) and an original visitors book from Hotel Buddha (where A5 and A6 had allegedly stayed).He recorded the statements of witnesses from where the visitors registers had been seized.He conceded to not having any record of investigations being handed over to him and he could not member if the fact Naushads train reservation was recorded in any document.He said that his statement regarding his investigation in Gorakhpur had not been recorded.He stated that he had obtained only the photocopy of the reservation chart and the witness statement to this effect only stated that that witness had handed over the photocopy to him.He stated that he had not obtained the reservation requisition slip.He said that he had not recorded any reason for not obtaining the original visitors book from the hotel at the first instance.He says that he did not try to verify the handwriting of the accused at Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 144 Gorakhpur; He could not recall the DD of his arrival in Delhi following his trip to Gorakhpur.PW-66 Constable Surinder joined PW-40 on 29.6.1996 in the investigation in Gorakhpur, when they seized the original register which contained Mohd. Naushads name at SI.No. 1283, which contained his name and address, vide seizure memo Ex. PW-66/A. In his cross-examination he admitted that the Serial nos. were not printed, but handwritten.He stated that he could not identify the writing on the register as belonging to Naushad since he was not personally acquainted with the man.The testimonies of PW-82 and PW-83 were also sought to be relied on.PW-82 was the owner of Gupta Hotel and Lodge.His statement pertains to the police having seized the visitors register in which there was an entry with Naushads name in it.PW-83 - Vijay Kumar Gupta the hotel manager of Gupta Hotel, stated that on 27.5.1996 Mohd. Naushad had stayed in the hotel and had made an entry in the Register (SI No. 1285) in his own handwriting.He said that the Police seized the register on 29.6.1996, and that his signature was on the relevant recovery memo (Ex. PW-66/A).The Trial Court, however, did not attach much credence to the alleged handwriting of Naushad on the hotel register, holding that the sample handwritings were not obtained in accordance with established procedure.The interesting feature of this circumstance is that the prosecution did not offer much less prove any departure and arrival memos for investigating Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 145 officers.Despite the fact that over the course of the investigation, the police claimed to have travelled to different parts of the country frequently, in no instance, have records of these been produced as evidence to establish the veracity of their claims.Even in the present circumstance, PW-40 SI Baljit Singh had visited Gorakhpur twice, and PW-66 Const.Surinder traveled there once, they were unable to recall the relevant DD entries recording their movements.Neither was permission sought from the concerned Metropolitan Magistrate to obtain the sample, nor was the sample obtained in the presence of a magistrate, or any public witness.Even if there had been no such irregularities, the expert witness PW-94 was unable to fix the authorship on the basis of comparison between the questioned and test handwritings.This can be gathered from a reading of the opinion, which reads as follows:A.948 to 951/10 Page 146As far as the railway Reservation Chart (Ex. PW40/A) is concerned, the Trial Court held as follows:A 3 has not disputed his name appearing at Serial No.7 in Reservation chart Ex. PW 40/A. No suggestion was put to PW40 SI Baljeet Singh that A3 had not travelled by Shaheed Express on 27/5/1996 from Gorakhpur to Delhi.Genuiness of the chart Ex. PW 40/A was not challenged.""This Court notices that the chart was not proved by any public witness.The railway official from whom the Railway Reservation Chart was taken, (Shri Chakravarthy) was not produced as a witness; even the original chart, or its authenticated or certified copy was not produced; what was placed on record is a photocopy.It would be unsafe to assume that A-3 had in fact undertaken the journey, as alleged by the prosecution.So the railway reservation chart cannot be relied on, since this person has not proved it.PW-82s statement has been believed despite the fact that this witnesss statement pertains only to him having been a witness to the seizure of a photocopy of the visitors book of his hotel, and his statement, as well as the statement of police witnesses PW-40 and 66 seem to have been accepted at face value.PW-83 Vijay Kumar Gupta, a manager at the hotel says that on 27.5.1996 Mohd. Naushad Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 147 had stayed in the hotel and had made an entry in the Register (SI No. 1285) in his own handwriting.However, before this witness can be considered an eyewitness to the stay of A3 in Gorakhpur, it must be kept in mind that despite him having said that he had seen A3 in the hotel on 27.5.1996, he was not, at any point, shown the accused in order to verify his identity, during the trial.The Trial Court however, took the same line here as in the case of PW-40 and PW-66:""Again nothing was suggested to this witness in the cross examination, that A3 had not stayed at Gupta Hotel.A3 did not deny that the writing in the register was not in his hand.""On the basis of the accuseds silence at the time of cross examination, the Trial Court seems to have inferred his guilt.This is a flawed approach, because the question of accuseds silence gaining significance would only arise if the witness who saw them in the hotel, or saw them travel on the train, or some other unimpeachable material, apart from the unverified photocopy of a railway reservation chart, had been produced.It also ignores the failure of the prosecution to match the handwriting of A-3 with the handwriting on the hotel register.The prosecution had alleged that on 19-06-1996, A-3 and A-5 led the police party to a shop M/s. Unique Agencies at 2610, Churiwalan, Delhi from where they had purchased a gas cylinder.This was sought to be proved by PW-31 and PW-36, who both deposed that they went with the accused, who took them to that shop, where the shopkeeper identified them, and a pointing out memo Ex. PW 31/M was prepared, which contained his signatures.The Trial Court first held that the accused did not challenge the two police witnesses testimony, which was an adverse circumstance against them.""334 Prosecution has further examined PW54 Mehmood Kamal as a prosecution witness.In his deposition before the court, the witness admitted that he was running gas agency Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 150 under the name of M/s. Unique Agencies at 2610, Churiwalan, Delhi.The witness further supported the prosecution and deposed that in May, 1996 two persons had come at his shop for purchasing a gas cylinder.The gas cylinder was not available with him on that day.He asked the said two persons to deposit the price of the gas cylinder and to come on the next day to collect the same.Those two persons deposited with him Rs.290/and left on that day.Next date again they came at his shop and he delivered them one empty gas cylinder.This witness further substantiated the police version that on 19/6/1996 some police personnel came at his office and took him at their office at Lodhi Colony.The witness however failed to support the prosecution regarding identification of two persons who had come at his shop and who had purchased the gas cylinders.The witness was got declared hostile by ld.Addl PP for the State and was cross examined.In the cross examination, the witness admitted that his statement was recorded by the police.He further admitted that his signatures appeared on the pointing out memo Ex. PW 31/M at point 'B'.The witness however added that this memo was an already written document.The witness admitted that he had told the names of the said two persons to the police as Mohd. Naushad (A3) and Mirza Nissar Hussain @ Naza (A5).This witness did not allege if he had put his signature under any pressure by the police on the memo Ex.Had these accused persons not taken the police to the shop of PW54 Mehmood Kamal, the police must not have come to know about the names of these two persons as mentioned in the memo Ex. PW 31/M. The name and address of this witness was not known to the police prior to the disclosure statements of these accused persons.The police discovered the factum of this witness running gas agency in the name of M/s. Unique Agencies at 2610, Churiwalan only in pursuance of the disclosure statements made by these accused persons.It, however, stands established that both A3 and A5 in pursuance of their disclosure statements led the police team at the shop of PW 54 Mehmood Kamal.This circumstance also points an accusing finger against A3 and A5 for purchasing gas cylinders from his shop in the absence of any specific purpose.A3 & A5 did not offer any explanation for visiting the shop of PW Mehmood Kamal for purchasing gas cylinder.They did not justify purchase of any such cylinder for any particular purpose.They did not claim their presence on any other place on the day of visit to PW54 Mehmood Kamal.""The Trial Court later concluded that:However, this fact was established by PW31 Insp.Surinder and PW39 Insp.Hari Ram Malik and PW36 Insp.Rajeshwar that it were both A3 and A5 who had taken them to the shop of PW 54 Mehmood Kamal.PW54 Mehmood Kamal in the cross Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 152 examination by the ld.Addl PP for the State however admitted that police had recorded his statement and pointing out memo Ex. PW 31/M contained his signature.In statement u/s 313 Cr.P.C A3 and A5 did not explain this incriminating circumstance against them as to why and for what purpose they had purchased gas cylinders from PW54 Mehmood Kamal.""A plain analysis of the above discussion of evidence would show that PW-54 was unable to identify the accused; he was cross examined by the prosecution.In the cross examination, this witness denied the facts put to him:""It is wrong to suggest that the said two persons had led the police team to my shop on 19/6/1996 and had pointed out my shop as being the place wherefrom they had purchased two gas cylinders.I also did not make any such statement to the police.Confronted with point B to B of Ex. PW-54/A....It is correct that my signatures appear on pointing out memo Ex. PW-31/M at Point B-however this was already written document and was not read over to me when I signed it.It is correct that I had been told the names of the two persons by the police as being Mohd.

+ he refused that they had gone to his shop.This was his consistent story, both in examination in chief, the Trial Courts inferring that the accused had, in fact, gone to his shop, along with the police on 19-6-1996, and even on 13-5-1996 for purchasing the gas cylinders is unsupportable.Like in the case of the stay of A-3 at Gorakhpur, the Trial Court imposed a reverse burden of proof, and drew adverse inference against the accused, for omission to cross examine PW-31, who merely stated that they had led the police party to the shop of PW-54," from where they had purchased gas cylinders.This is evident from the following excerpt of the Trial Courts judgment:This statement of the witness was not challenged in the cross examination.No suggestion was put to this witness in the cross examination that both these accused persons had not led the police party at the shop of M/s. Unique Agencies.""""An interesting fact is that PW-54 was not shown the gas cylinder which was recovered from A-3 Naushads premises", pursuant to his disclosure statement.Though a fairly commonplace article, the prosecution was in a position to put this article for identification during trial; it deliberately omitted to do so; not even a TIP was held in this regard.Taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances, it is held that the Trial Court fell into error in holding that the pointing out of M/s Unique Agencies, from where two gas cylinders were supposedly bought by A-3 and A-5, were proved.The Court also fell into error in completely ignoring the contradictory statement of PW-54, who did not, during the trial, at any stage, identify the accused.The evidence here was akin to those circumstances Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 154 which the Trial Court consciously rejected, whenever the prosecution based its case, solely on the testimony of police witnesses.For these reasons, it is held that Circumstance No. 30 alleged against A-3 and A-5 was not proved.Pointing out of Shop from where soldering was made (Circumstance No. 28 para 309 of the impugned judgment)PW-31 deposed that Naushad and Killey pointed out to Vijay Electronics on 19.06.1996 as the place from where they got the wires soldered to the battery.With respect to Imperial Gramaphone Company he said that the accused pointed out to this shop as the place from where the Jayco wall clock was purchased.PW-39 Inspector Hari Ram Malik corroborated PW-31 to say that they pointed out to Imperial Gramaphone Company, where they had purchased the soldering iron and that a pointing out memo was prepared and the shop owner signed on the same.PW-58 Jitender Pal Singh, the owner of the electronics store Imperial Sound and Service deposed that on 19.6.1996, the police went to his shop along with two people and told him that one soldering iron and solder had been purchased by the two people who had come with them.He said that he could remember these two people who had purchased the same from him and had made a statement to this effect to the police.He said the items were sold for Rs. 35/-.He even stated that he could identify the two persons if shown to him, but when they were shown to him, in a group of ten accused persons, he said that due to the passage of time he was unable to identify them.This witness was cross examined by the ld.Addl PP for State after declaring him hostile.In his cross examination by the ld.Addl PP, the witness admitted that the police had recorded his statement.The witness further admitted that the said two persons had come with muffled faces and they were seen by him when their faces were unmuffled in his presence by the police.He further admitted that he had told the police that the said two persons had come at his shop and purchased a soldering iron and solder wire from his shop.The witness further stated that A3 present before the court today might be Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 156 one of the two persons.However he could not say anything about the other accused A5 as having come to the shop for the above said purchase.The witness further admitted that the pointing out memo Ex. PW 31/K was prepared on which he signed at point 'B'.The witness stated that he could identify the soldering iron purchased from his shop if shown to him.The witness identified the soldering iron Ex. Z1after it was shown to him before the court.********** ******************Scanning the over all testimony of this witness reveals that soldering iron Ex. Z1 recovered by the police in this case from the residence of A3 was identified by this witness to be the same which was purchased from his shop for a sum of Rs. 35/- There is no denial that this independent public witness was not running his electronics spare parts shop at stall no. 8A in the name and style of Imperial Sound and Service.Statement of the witness is also categorical that both these accused persons were brought by the police in muffled faces at his shop in a police vehicle.Their faces were unmuffled and the accused persons were shown to the witness.He had informed the police that the said two persons brought at his shop on19/6/1996 had purchased the soldering iron and solder from his shop.The names of these two accused persons find mention in the pointing out / identification memo Ex. PW 31/K. This witness has categorically identified his signatures on Ex. PW 31/K which has not been challenged by the accused persons.No suggestion was put to this witness in the cross examination that both these accused persons had not come at his shop on 13/5/1996 and had not purchased any soldering iron and solder from his shop for Rs. 35/.No motive was imputed to this witness to falsely plead that both these accused persons whose names were disclosed as A3 and A5 had accompanied the police at his shop.Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 157Accused persons did not explain how and for what purpose they happened to purchase soldering iron and solder from the shop of this witness.There is no denial by the accused persons that soldering iron Ex. Z1 was not recovered from their possession or that it was never purchased from PW 58 Jitender Pal Singh.Police was not aware about the shop of the witness prior to the two accused persons leading the police party at his shop.Only after both these accused persons led the police party to the shop of this witness, the police came to know that they had purchased the soldering iron and solder from his shop.The existence of the shop at that specific place has not been controverted by the accused persons.The Trial Courts findings depended largely on the failure to cross examine the witness, and what was elicited from him during the cross examination by the prosecution.The Court did not focus on the inability of the witness to identify either accused.There is also no material on record to suggest that the soldering iron was of a distinctive nature or make, as to be dubbed an uncommon or out of the ordinary article, which the witness could have identified, especially since he dealt with and sold such articles in a routine manner.This circumstance therefore, was not proved against the accused, and the Trial Courts reasoning and findings are, therefore, erroneous on this aspect.The recovery of a key was discussed as Circumstance No. 26 in paras 291-295 of the impugned judgment.The prosecution had alleged that on 18.06.1996, A-3, A-5 and A-6 led the police party to a place behind the Nizamuddin ITI Bus Stand from where at Arab-ki-Sarai, a key was recovered.The prosecution alleged that the key had been prepared at Jama Masjid and was seized under Memo, Ex.31/F. The key was alleged to be a duplicate one in respect of the stolen Maruti Car, placed on record as Ex.The prosecution had entirely relied on the police testimonies of PWs-31,39 and 101 for this purpose.The Trial Court had rejected this circumstance, i.e. Recovery of duplicate key, stating as follows:On screening the testimony of prosecution witnesses on this aspect, again, I am of the view that the prosecution has failed to prove if duplicate key, Ex.P-7 was got recovered by the accused persons in pursuance of their disclosure statement or that it was the key which was used at the time of commission of theft of Maruti Car belonging to PW-8 - Atul Nath.......Moreover, as per prosecution, this duplicate key was got prepared from PW-64, Mohd. Rizwan at Jama Masjid.PW-64," Mohd. Rizwan appeared in the witness box.He turned hostile regarding preparation of duplicate key.The key (Ex.P7) was not shown to PW-64 to prove that it was the same key which was got prepared by the accused persons from him.""""In the light of the above reasoning", the Trial Court rejected this circumstance and also added that the absence of any public witness to support the recovery did not lent credence to the prosecution version in this regard.On analysis of circumstances discussed at S. No. 9, Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 159 10,23,26,30,31, 32 and 46(C), and in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt that A-3 along with his associates not only hatched criminal conspiracy to cause bomb blast at Lajpat Nagar Market," Delhi but also actively participated in procuring various articles to execute the plan.""""This Court is of the opinion that ex-facie", the approach of the Trial Court pertaining to Circumstance No. 26 in holding in one part of the judgment that the prosecution had not proved its allegation, and concluding to the contrary while summing-up the incriminating evidence against the accused, is unsupportable.It was alleged that on 17.06.1996, A-4 led the police party to the house of Mangal Chand at BJ-24, Shalimar Bagh and on the production of a two rupee currency note, cash of Rs.1 lac was obtained from him.The cash was seized.The two rupee currency note had been seized earlier.The recovery of Rupees one lac in cash from Mangal Chand, which according to the prosecution, was obtained after showing a two rupee currency note to Mangal Chand, was part of the sequence which started with the arrest of A-4," who pointed-out A-7; two Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 160 rupee currency note was seized from A-7 and A-4 led the police party to Shalimar Bagh where the currency was recovered.The Trial Court concluded in para 542 that this circumstance had to be held against A-3 for the following reasons:Prosecution has proved recovery of Rs. one lakh by A4 from Mangal Dass.This money was meant for A3.Only A3 was beneficiary as A4 had accompanied him on 14/6/1996 to go to Gorakhpur where both were apprehended.A3 did not explain presence of A4 with him.He did not assert if money collected by A4 was not meant for him.This circumstance also is at par with the contents of disclosure statement made by him.""""He", A-4 and SI Sanjay Kumar went inside the home. A-4 gave two rupee currency note to Mangal Chand, who verified it and gave Rupees one lac currency note in another bag.At that stage," other police staff reached the premises and seized the two rupee currency note and the one lac rupee currency which was kept under seal """"RPG"""".The seizure memos were Ex.PW-17A and 17C. The currency notes were produced before the Court.The prosecution nowhere mentioned that A-3 was taken with the police party and either identified by Mangal Chand or PW-35 did not produce any identification in the form of an Employment or Voter Identification Card.In the cross-examination", what emerged was that summons was sent by the Court to his Sonepat, Haryana address.The appellant had urged that there were no details of that address in the list of witnesses filed together with the charge-sheet.The witness, in the course of his statement submitted that he never mentioned he had office at Shalimar Bagh nor resided there.His testimony, in this regard, can only be seen by the Court as regards the alleged handing-over of the seal to him.PW-17, SI Sanjay supported the recovery.Furthermore, and most importantly, the prosecution made no attempt to produce Mangal Chand from whom the amount - alleged to be payable and in fact held to be payable to A-3, was recovered.If so, Mangal Chands role was, at least, as one of a facilitator; and at no stage did the prosecution attempt to explain why he was not interrogated or taken into custody.All these have to be viewed in the backdrop of the somewhat startling conclusion drawn by the Trial Court in para 251 that the recovery of Rupees one lac was an incriminating circumstance against A-3," Naushad """"despite the fact that it was at the instance of A-4 and on the showing of two rupee currency note allegedly recovered from A-7.""""The following conclusion was drawn by the Trial Court on the basis of such material:Death Sent.2/10; Crl.From the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses referred above it stands established that A4 in pursuance of his disclosure statement obtained Rs. 1 lac from Mangal Chand residing at BJ24", Shalimar Bagh on the strength of two rupee currency note shown to him.The police was not aware about all these facts prior to A4 leading the police team at that specific place.A4 has failed to explain as to how and under what circumstances, he was to get Rs. 1 lac from Mangal Chand.He also failed to explain as to for what purpose," he had collected the heavy amount from Mangal Chand.Memo Ex. PW 17/C contains signature of Mangal Chand which shows that Mangal Chand was residing at the given address.Obtaining of Rs. 1 lac by A4 from Mangal Chand substantiates the story presented by the prosecution that Rs. 1 lac collected from Mangal Chand were meant to be received by A3 for his role in the incident.""""The conclusion of the Trial Court in the above regard is not only on the basis of any evidence but it appears to be entirely on hearsay.This can be clearly seen from the discussion with regard to the role of A-7", appearing at paras 596-602 of the impugned judgment.In para 597 it was in fact stated that:This occurrence took place on 16/6/1996 when conspiracy to cause bomb blast had already came to an end.Prior to 21/5/1996 no active participation of A7 in the incident has been brought on record.It could have been given even by one person.This version of the prosecution has not been believed in the circumstances referred above.Even if it is assumed that A7 had delivered two rupee currency note to A4 on 16/6/1996, it does not establish him to be a member of conspiracy to cause bomb blast on 21/5/1996 at Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 163 Delhi which was no more in existence.The testimony of PW-35 nowhere reveals that at any stage was Mangal Chand questioned as to whom the money was meant to be given to.Even if he were to have implicated A-3, without the primary evidence of Mangal Chand, PW-35 could not have proved that fact.All that could have been concluded was that at the instance of A-4, two rupee currency note was shown to Mangal Chand, who handed-over Rupees one lac.This fact was disbelieved by the Trial Court, in paras 596 to 602 of the impugned judgment.The Trial Court also held that the post-event recovery of something not connected with A-7 could not be attributed to A-7 or held to be incriminating as against him.Similarly, it also concluded in respect of A-4 that the conclusion of the amount could not be held as incriminating against that accused (A-4), in the following manner:Since Mangal Dass was not directly known to A4, collection of Rs. 1 lakh by him only on the strength of two rupee currency note is not a factor to prove his involvement in the incident.Anybody having a currency note of Re. two could have got the cash from PW Mangal Dass.In the absence of any material, there was no basis for the police to arrest A4 in this incident.The prosecution had alleged 17 circumstances - 15 against A-5 Naza.These were:Now, their testimonies are in direct conflict with that of PW-60; that witness could not identify any accused as the purchaser; he said in the cross examination after being declared hostile that he was not sure whether the two accused had visited his shop.The Trial Court, however, held that since the witness admitted that when the two accused persons pointed out his shop and identified him," police prepared memo Ex. PW 31/L and he signed the same at point 'B'.It was also held that:""""Overall testimony of this witness reveals that no material discrepancies have been elicited in the cross examination of this witness to discard his version given before the court.Nothing has come on record to show that this independent public witness did not run his shop under the name and style of Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 170 Ganesh Electronics at shop no. 21 Jangpura.This witness categorically testified that on 21/5/1996 two persons had purchased 9 volt battery from him for a sum of Rs. 95/-.No enmity has been imputed to this witness for falsely claiming sale of 9 volt battery from him for Rs. 95/. Again this witness is categorical that on 19/6/1996 police had brought two persons at his shop and one of them had identified his shop from where 9 volt battery was purchased.This witness pointed out towards A5 to be one of the said accused persons and did not identify the other accused who had accompanied him.This witness has no ulterior motive to falsely identify A5 to be the person who had purchased 9 volt battery from him.This witness elaborated his version and voluntarily stated that the two persons were brought in the maruti van at his shop and the said persons were in muffled faces.When the said two persons were unmuffled", he was asked whether they had purchased the battery from his shop and he replied that when the said persons were saying that they had purchased the battery from his shop, they might be correct.He further admitted that out of those two persons, A5 might had purchased the battery from him.However, in the subsequent cross examination, the witness cleared the doubt and asserted that he had told the police that the above named two accused persons pointed out his shop and identified him.The police prepared the memo Ex. PW 31/L and he had signed the same at point 'B' and the above named two accused persons had also signed the said memo.No suggestion has been put in the cross examination that memo Ex. PW 31/L was not prepared at his shop or that the accused persons did not sign the same.Accused persons have failed to state as to how and under what circumstances, their signatures appeared on the pointing out memo Ex. PW 31/L. These signatures of both these accused persons on the pointing out memo Ex. PW 31/L in the presence of PW60 Rajesh Kumar categorically establishes that both of them had led the police team to the shop of PW 60 Rajesh Kumar and had pointed out the shop from where they had purchased 9 volt battery.Again this fact was not in the knowledge of the police prior to the accused persons taking the Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 171 police party to the shop of PW60 Rajesh Kumar in pursuance of their disclosure statements.Case of the prosecution is that this battery was used in the bomb blast.This Court is of the opinion that the witnesses doubt regarding A-5 and inability to identify the other accused, and his volte face, renders his testimony that they had led the police to his shop, shaky.Though in the examination in chief, the witness mentioned about purchase of battery from his shop by two individuals, his inability to identify either clearly," during the trial undermines the prosecution story.He had also stated that one of the buyers had a """"massa"""" on his face (i.e. a scar or birthmark).The prosecution did not attempt to connect this aspect with either accused; the Trial Court also overlooked this fact.Like in the case of other circumstances", such as purchase of gas cylinder, purchase of araldite," pointing out by the shop keeper of """"Dulhan Dupatta"""" etc", the primary fact is the identification of the accused concerned, as the individuals who went to the shop to buy the article, on some day prior to the incident.This was to establish a link in the chain of circumstances, which tied up to the various act preparatory to the offence itself.The absence of positive identification nevertheless led the court to hold as proved - in our view erroneously, that the accused had led them to a place which was hitherto unknown to the police, and from where the shopkeeper made some kind of identification, which was not refuted during cross examination, which in turn resulted in their involvement in the crime.The law is not concerned with proof of possibility of involvement, Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 172 which is all that the prosecution achieved through such evidence, but proof beyond reasonable doubt, i.e. such proof as would rule out all controversy or doubt that these accused did what was alleged against them, in respect of such circumstance.Reliance on the accuseds signatures, on the pointing out memo, in the absence of their clear identification, in the courts opinion, could not have been resorted to, to implicate them.(ii) Pointing-out of the place from where soldering of battery was done (Circumstance No.28)The prosecution had alleged that sometime in 1996, A-5 and A-6 had visited the shop of PW-38, Vijay Kapoor, and asked that two wires be soldered to a battery.He stated that the soldering was done for Rs. 5/-.He also stated that a month later, the accused had gone to his shop, and identified it, a fact which was recorded in Ex. PW13/N. In cross examination, this witness stated that his signatures were taken on blank paper, and that the memo was written in the Lodhi Office of the police.He also admitted not remembering how many customers had visited his shop that day, and further that his employee did the soldering requested for.Unlike in the case of other circumstances, the witness in this case was able to identify one of the accused (A-5) positively during examination in chief.However, his admission that the pointing out memo was prepared somewhere else, and that he signed on blank papers, was not contradicted.His further admission that he could not remember how many customers visited him the same day further weakens proof of this circumstance.The Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 173 absence of any date approximate period, further injects some vagueness into the evidence.The identification of A-5 has to be viewed in the backdrop of all these facts, which point to his unreliability, and having been tutored by the police.Here, a TIP would have been crucial, in lending assurance to the fact alleged, since the prosecution case is that this circumstance was to prove an act preparatory to the crime, and intrinsically connected with its execution.On an overall conspectus of the materials on the record, it is held that this circumstance was not proved beyond reasonable doubt, by the prosecution.(iii) Pointing out of the shop from where a clock was purchased (Circumstance No 29).To prove this, reliance was placed on the testimonies of PW-50 and PW-48. PW-48 Parmod Kumar during his examination stated that one person aged 19-20 years had visited his shop and had purchased a wall clock; he identified A-7 Latif.He was declared hostile by the prosecution; at its behest, during cross examination by the prosecutor," the witness deposed:""""...it is wrong to say that the said two persons were in muffled faces"," when they came to the shop with the police and that their faces got unmuffled after their arrival to the shop for getting them identified from me and that I had identified the said two persons on being the same who had come to the shop on 14.5.1996 for purchasing the wall clock.I did not make any statement to \the police.It is wrong to say that I had made a statement mark PW-48/A to the police.The witness is read over mark PW-48/A which he denied having made to the police.Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 174 """"... It is wrong to say that the said three persons had come to the shop for the purchase of the wall clock."""""""".... It is wrong to say that the accused Mirza Nisar Hussain and Mohd. Ali Bhatt @ Mohd. Killey (accused shown to the witness by Ld. APP) were the person who led the police team to the shop.It is wrong to say that I am deliberately not identifying the accused persons out of fear or having been worn over by them and deposing falsely.....""""The prosecution also relied upon PW-50 Yogesh Kumar Gupta to prove the said circumstance.PW-50 Yogesh Kumar Gupta deposed during his examination in chief that:During the cross examination of PW-50 Yogesh Kumar Gupta by Ld. APP"," it was stated by the witness that:""""... I cannot admit or deny whether accused Mirza Nisar Hussain @ Nasa and Mohd. Ali Bhatt @ Mohd. Killey (witness is shown and pointed out these two accused by Ld. APP) were the same two boys who had led police team to my shop on 19.6.1996......""""The Trial Court", after noticing that the shop owner could not identify A-5 or A-6 as the two individuals who went to his shop to purchase a wall clock, for which a receipt was issued by PW-48 (recovery Memo PW-31/G) nevertheless held that they had taken the police to his shop," where they had stated that the purchase was made:This witness has nevertheless proved that on 19/6/1996 the police had brought two persons at his shop and theyhad told Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 175 about the purchase of wall clock from his shop.This witness also proved his signatures on the recovery memo Ex PW-31/G. He has admitted his signatures on the pointing out memo ExPW 31/H. This witness further admitted that the names of those two boys who had come at his shop on 19/6/1996 were mentioned in the memo and he had signed that memo after reading the same.""""Similarly", the Trial Court did not feel it strange to return a similar finding," with regard to appreciation of PW-48s evidence:It further stands established that on 19/6/1996 two persons whose names were disclosed as A5 and A6 had led the police team to the shop of the witness and had pointed out that it was the same shop from where they had purchased the wall clock.The statement of the witness was corroborated from the documentary evidence whereby sale receipt Ex. PW 48/A was issued out of the receipt book Ex. G1 which was seized vide seizure memo Ex. PW 31/G. This testimony of this witness substantiates the version of the prosecution that on 19/6/1996 both A5 and A6 had led the police team to the shop of PW48 Pramod Kumar from where they had purchased the Jayco wall clock.No suggestion was put to this witness in the cross examination that these two accused persons had not led the police team to the shop of the witness or that they had not purchased any Jayco wall clock from him.The prosecution had thus established that the Jayco wall clock was purchased from the shop of PW48 Pramod Kumar and PW50 Yogesh Kumar Gupta on 14/5/1996....""""In the opinion of this Court", when both these independent witnesses, in the first instance, failed to identify the accused concerned, i.e. A-5 and A-6, who had allegedly visited the shop to purchase the clock, and one of Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 176 these witnesses, i.e. PW-48, identified someone else," the Court ought not to have drawn the inference based solely on the signatures in the """"Pointing-out Memo""""", that the fact stood established.The shop owner, i.e. PW-50 was consistent in his omission or failure to identify the accused; PW-48 not only did not identify them but even went one step further and positively identified A-7 as the only individual who had gone to the shop and purchased the clock.The conclusion based on the fact that the witnesses had signed Ex.PW-31/G and Ex.PW-31/H, goes beyond the permissible limits of what can be considered by a Court under Section 27 of the Act read with proviso to Section 162 of the Cr.PC.Neither PW-50 nor his shop assistant, PW-48, corroborated this.Their failure to identify the accused was constituted as fatal blow to the prosecution allegations in this regard.In such circumstances, to seize the clutch at the pointing-out memo, in order to say that the said accused had led the police party to the shop and that in turn established the incriminating circumstance, was impermissible.Once the preliminary fact, i.e. purchase of the object or article from the shop by the accused could not be established, the secondary aspect that such accused had led the police party to the shop became irrelevant, under no circumstances did that secondary fact link the accused to the offence.(iv) Regarding A-5's travel from Kathmandu to Delhi (Circumstance No. 36).The prosecution had alleged that A-5 had travelled from Kathmandu Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 177 to Delhi before the bomb blast at Lajpat Nagar.He also identified the list as Ex.67/A. That list contained A-5s name.The IO of the case, PW-101 also deposed to this and further," seizure of A-5s Boarding Card which was marked and produced as Ex.The Trial Court in its findings (in paras 379-381) upheld the prosecution allegations.""""In the evening of 8th May itself Javed Senior had asked me to accompany (him) to Delhi along with the bag containing gun powder (barood) and two detonators.Thereafter on 10th May", Javed Senior had sent Naza to Delhi," who had to make a setting for blast in Delhi.""""(c) Circumstances alleged against A-6The Trial Court had analysed the evidence which included depositions of police witnesses as well as independent witnesses and took into consideration materials such as seizure memos", articles etc. and in the impugned judgment held that several circumstances alleged against A-6 Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 178 were not proved.The only surviving circumstance which has to be considered by this Court is the factum of A-6s arrest.In regard to this circumstance, the Trial Court relied on the discussion made by it vis--vis the arrest of A-7 who was alleged to have been along with A-6 at Gorakhpur; the Trial Court held that:Arrest of A-7 on 16/17-6-1996 in the manner claimed by the prosecution has not been believed by the Court as discussed above.Similarly apprehension of A-6 along with A-7 in the said circumstances cant be believed.(d) Circumstances alleged against A-9 JavedAs far as A-9 is concerned, the Trial Court discussed the evidence in respect of Circumstances No. 34 (Confessional statement); his stay at Satyam Hotel (No. 35) and his arrest (Circumstance No. 40) and held that all those circumstances were proved.(i) Arrest of A-9: Circumstance No. 40The prosecution had alleged that the Gujarat Police received information, sometime in May, 1996 about two individuals, i.e Asadullah and Rashid crossing the border at Nepal and entering India, and ultimately going to Ahmedabad to carry out a bomb explosion there.The State police, on receipt of information, started searching the city.He deposed that the police conducted a search, and eventually arrested Javed (A-9) and Asadullah (A-10) on 1-6-1996, along with the other two, near Rupali Cinema.He identified Javed Khan (A-9) and pointed to another accused and identified him as Asadullah (A-10), however the accused says his name was Abdul Gunny Goni to which the witness stated that Asadullah was one of the aliases of Abdul Gunny Goni.The Appellants counsel had argued that A-9s arrest did not take place on 1-6-1996 and that, in reality, he was taken into custody much earlier, on 24-5-1996, and kept in illegal detention.A-9 no doubt says this, in the statement recorded under Section 313, Cr. PC.However, the testimonies of PW-98 and PW-99 are consistent on this aspect.The appellants allegation of having been arrested on 24-5-1996 was not put to PW-99, who deposed about the arrest.After the Ahmedabad police arrested Javed (A-9), Asadullah (A-10), Maqbool Butt and Rashid on 01.06.1996 from near Rupali Cinema, Ahmedabad, A-9 and A-10 made disclosure statements before PW-99 B.M. Rajvanshi (Ex.PW-99/A and Ex. PW-99/B).Javed (A-9) in his disclosure statement mentioned about his involvement in the Lajpat Nagar blast and mentioned the name of all the accused persons except for Naushad (A-3).He stated visiting the house of Wajid Kasai (PW-13) on 14.05.1996 and leaving a bag containing explosives with his (PW-13s) sister for Naza (A-5).On receipt of the wireless message from Ahmedabad, on 02.06.1996 itself Insp.Paras Nath (PW-101) went to Wajid Kasais (PW-13s) house at Turkman Gate, Delhi and made enquiries from PW-13 and his sister Pappe (PW-14).A.948 to 951/10 Page 188It was alleged that A-9 was taken from Ahmedabad to Jaipur, where he was kept in connection with a bomb blast at Dausa, Rajasthan.The confessional statement made by A-9 was proved by PW-100, the Magistrate.A-9 further stated that when he reached Wajids house, Wajid and Naza (A-5) were not there and only women and children were present there.A-9 asked them to give the bag to Naza (A-5) and told them that it contained Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 190 Nazas clothes.Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15), Mohd. Killey (A-6) and Riyaz (A-13) had reached Kathmandu before him.A-9 further stated that on his asking about the task in Delhi," they replied """"that Naza (A-5) had been given after making the same and Riyaz Maula (A-13) was the mechanic because only he was the trained person."""" On 19.05.1996", Mohd. Killey (A-6) and Riyaz (A-13) went back to Delhi and Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15) informed A-9 that the work in Delhi had not been done due to some defect.A-9 further stated that earlier on 06.05.1996 two persons had come from Pakistan and their names were Asadullah (A-10) and Rashid (he came to know of their names later).A-9 further stated that on reaching Mumbai, Asadullah (A-10) told them that they were to go to Ahmedabad and in the evening at 8:30 PM the four of them left for Ahmedabad and reached it on 24.05.1996 at 12:00 PM.A-9 further stated that on reaching Ahmedabad they went to a hotel, had a bath and then had their meal.Asadullah (A-10) and Rashid both left for Namaz whereas A-9 and Julfikar stayed back; 15 minutes later CBI officials and the manager of the hotel came to the room and conducted a search.At about 4/5:00 PM Asadullah (A-10) and Rashid came to the hotel from where the CBI officials took all of them and interrogated them.A-9 further stated that he told them that he had gone upto Patna only and he did not know anything Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 191 and did not have any knowledge regarding other things.He further stated that he only brought the bag to Delhi and there Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15) informed him about the blast; Javed Kirwa @ Javed Senior (A-15) had himself done all the work regarding the blast on the basis of planning of Bilal Beg.A-9 further stated that he did not know anything about any other blast.The first three were awarded death sentence; A-9 was awarded life imprisonment.It would be relevant at this stage to extract the relevant parts of the Trial Courts judgment:At no Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 202 stage the police opted to put any of the accused persons for TIP from the prosecution witnesses.No DD entries regarding any such visits was proved on record during trial.The police failed to show by documentary evidence their visits to specific places.The accused arrested from outside Delhi were never produced before the concerned Court and no transit remand of any of the accused was obtained creating doubt of the date, place and the manner in which the accused persons were apprehended and arrested in this case.Number of witnesses cited in the list of witnesses were not examined by the prosecution during trial.Insp./ACP P.P. Singh is stated to be the overall incharge of the investigation.Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 203 However, at the first instance, he did not bother to appear as witness before the Court.Only when application u/s 311 Cr.No memos contain signatures of PW-105 ACP PP Singh.P.P. for the State during trial and specifically during final arguments always complained about non-cooperation from the IO of the case.He expressed his inability to address arguments in detail due to non-cooperation from the IO.No efforts were made during the last about more than 14 years to apprehend the co-accused persons against whom challan was presented as Proclaimed Offenders.Antecedent of none of the accused was collected by the police during investigation.In the disclosure statement of the accused persons, the police had come to know about the details of the antecedents of the accused persons and also regarding their various activities.However," no independent evidence was collected by the prosecution to substantiate the information recorded in the disclosure statements of the accused persons.No worthwhile evidence was collected by the police to show the activities of these accused persons prior to the incident and to find out as to in how many similar cases they were involved or any of them was ever convicted at any time.""""The Trial Court", as noticed from the extracts of its judgment, faulted the investigation with defective presentation of evidence, and omissions in regard to proof of allegations.A close reading of the impugned judgment itself would reveal that obvious inferences about lack of credibility of witnesses, in regard to circumstances, or general unreliability of prosecution in that regard, on specific aspects such as identification were glossed over, and superficially explained.These, in the opinion of this Court," point to a flawed understanding of """"proof beyond reasonable doubt"""" in a criminal trial.The deficiencies are highlighted below", in respect of lack of identification of Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 204 accused by independent witnesses and use of signatures on memos (pointing out memos) as proof that the accused had led the police to a certain place, despite the failure of independent witnesses to identify the concerned accused.Gupta Hotel, at Gorakhpur.Furthermore, the passenger list of the train was not produced; only a photocopy was produced.Even the concerned witness, Shri Chakravarthy, did not depose during the trial.The Court did not believe the handwriting report; it does not anywhere corroborate that the sample writings of A-3 matched with that in the hotel register.All these omissions were overlooked and the Trial Court held that the prosecution proved the circumstance alleged.(b) The prosecution failed to examine Mangal Chand, who had given A-4 Rs. One lakh, on the latters showing the Rs. 2 currency note; this was to prove the incriminating circumstance against A-3 and the allegation that he was to receive such money for illegal purposes.The prosecution neither arrested Mangal Chand, who was prima facie an accessory to the crime; according to its showing; no explanation was offered in this regard.It did not even choose to examine him, or record his statement.This crucial omission was not given any weightage, and the Trial Court uncritically accepted the prosecution version that the money recovered was meant for A-3; no witness - neither independent witness, PW-35, nor even any other Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 205 witness - spoke about it.(c) A-3 was sought to be identified by PW-61," shop owner of """"Dulhan Dupatta"""".The witness did not identify A-3; even after he was declared hostile", he denied the incident of A-3s visit during investigation.The witness however did not identify others - A-5 and A-6 even during the prosecutions cross examination.In spite of these obvious infirmities, and question mark about the credibility of the witness, as regards identification, the Trial Court whole heartedly accepted the police version.(d) PW-60, a shop owner, did not identify A-5 and A-6 in examination in chief," as the two individuals who had purchased a battery from him.He stated - in cross examination by prosecution that A-5 """"might be"""" one of the two", purchasing a battery from him.Yet, this was accepted as proof of identification of the accused.(e) Similarly," the statement by PW-38 that A-6 """"might have"""" been one - (along with A-5", whom he identified) as the individual who got soldering of wires done.(f) The statement of PW-48 regarding purchase of clock by A-7 (and not A-5 or A-6).He did not identify these two; yet his testimony was used against them.(2) Using signatures on pointing-out/recovery memos as incriminating circumstance.Death Sent.2/10; Crl.A.948 to 951/10 Page 206The previous discussion in this judgment would reveal that a large number of independent prosecution witnesses did not support the official version; they resiled from the statements made during investigation, and were declared hostile, and cross examined by the prosecution (these were PW-33,48,50,58,60, 61 and 92).The Trial Court noticed these facts," but went on to hold that the signatures of such witnesses in """"Recovery Memos"""" or """"Pointing out"""" memos were not denied", and consequently the statement recorded in Section 161 - about secondary facts that one or the other accused had visited the premises of such witness, during the investigation, had not been denied; consequently, the fact was proved, and that, in turn," was an incriminating circumstance.These instances are detailed below.(b) The statement of PW-50 - who could not identify A-5 or A-6 (alleged to have purchased a wall clock from him) """"nevertheless"""" was used as establishing purchase of a wall clock """"by two boys"""" (Ref.Para 324"," impugned judgment) and that PW-50 had """"no enmity to make false deposition against the accused in this regard."""" Proof of his signatures on Memos PW-31/G and PW-31/H were held corroborative and incriminating as to the fact that police had taken PW-5 and PW-6 to his shop during investigation.(c) PW-48s failure to identify A-5 or A-6 - who purchased a wall clock", and his identification of A-7 was nevertheless interpreted as incriminating A-5 and A-6 because of seizure memo," Ex.31/G.The Court noticed (para 335) that the witness """"failed to support the prosecution regarding identification."""" Yet", the Court inferred, on the basis of the Memo, Ex.

+"ORDER S. Ratnavel Pandian, J.This is an appeal by State.The four respondents were convicted under Section 302 read with Section 304, I.P.C. by the trial Court.It is alleged that Ramesh Chander, the second respondent herein, who is armed with the firearm shot dead the deceased persons.He set up a plea of self-defence.The trial Court, however, convicted all the appellants and sentenced three of them to undergo imprisonment for life but Ramesh Chandra, however, was sentenced to death.The High Court which heard the appeals filed by the accused as well as the confirmation of the case acquitted three of the respondents.So far as the accused Ramesh Chandra is concerned the High Court took the view that he has exceeded the right of self-defence and accordingly convicted him under Section 304, Part 1, I.P.C. and sentenced him to undergo imprisonment for life.In this appeal the State has questioned the judgment of the High Court on the ground that all the four respondents ought to have been convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. The prosecution case is as follows:The respondent Suresh Chandra is the Pradhan of village Maagdapur and has a licensed pistol.The second respondent Ramesh Chandra is his brother and had a licensed rifle.Shyam Sunder, father of the third respondent also had a licensed gun.There were dispute in respect of an auction for the fishery rights between the first respondent and the deceased.Three days before the incident the deceased and his two sons and P.W. I went to respondent No. 2 with their money a bid amount.There was exchange of harsh words between them.On 3-10-76 the deceased and his three sons including P.W. 1 went to the market for purchasing some foodgrains.About 4.00 P.W. when PWs.1 and 2 were also there all the four appellants came there armed with weapons.The first respondent abused the deceased and he grappled with him.At this juncture, on the exhortation of the other respondents Ramesh Chandra shot the three deceased persons.The High Court acquitted the three of the respondents mainly on the ground that they did not play any role and that Section 34 cannot be applied in their case.Now coming to the case of Ramesh Chandra, the High Court has accepted the right of private defence set up by him.In any event he was convicted under Section 304, Part I and was awarded life sentence.This is an appeal against an acquittal and we see no good ground to interfere with the judgment of the High Court.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"The respondent police registered a case in Crime No. 174 of 2006, against the revision petitioner for the offence under Section 279 and 304(A) IPC.After investigation, the respondent police laid a charge sheet against the revision petitioner before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.8, Coimbatore.The learned Judicial Magistrate taken the charge sheet on file, subsequently, the same was transferred to the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Coimbatore.The learned Chief Judicial Magistrate has taken the case on file in C.C.No.535 of 2010, after trial the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate found guilty of the accused for the offence under Sections 279 and 304(A) IPC and convicted him as follows:Magistrate,Coimbatore, the accused filed an appeal before the learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, Coimbatore, in Crl.The learned Principal District and Sessions Judge, made over the appeal to the learned IV Additional District and Sessions Judge, Coimbatore.After hearing the arguments, the learned IV Additional District and Sessions Judge, dismissed the appeal and confirmed the judgment of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate.As against the said judgment of the learned IV Additional District and Sessions Judge, Coimbatore, in Crl.A.No.128 of 2011 dated 08.10.2012 the revision petitioner had filed the present Criminal Revision Case before this Court.3 The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the occurrence place of the road is very narrow, the revision petitioner came from east side and turned towards north and could not have maintain the speed more than 20 k.ms., he could not have driven the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner.The rider of the motor cycle even did not posses a valid license, there is no insurance and R.C., book.None of the witnesses have spoken about the accident and not stated that the accident happened due to the rash and negligent driving of the offending vehicle (i.e.,) Lorry bearing Registration No.The Courts 3http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.R.C.No.1544 of 2012 below failed to consider the contradictory statements of prosecution witnesses.The deceased driven his motor cycle in a rash and negligent manner and he has not possessed valid license for driving the two- wheeler, did not wear helmet and transported heavy loaded Milk can in the said two-wheeler.The Courts below ought to have acquitted the appellant by giving the benefit of doubt, which warrants interference by this Court.4 The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent would submit that the occurrence had happened due to rash and negligent driving of the petitioner.P.W.1, P.W.4, P.W.6 have clearly spoken about the rash and negligent driving of the lorry driver.Prosecution has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and the Courts below have rightly appreciated the prosecution witnesses and convicted the accused, which does not warrant any interference by this Court.5 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent and perused the materials available on record.6 On reading of the entire evidence and on seeing the rough sketch, the revision petitioner came from east and turned towards the 4http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.R.C.No.1544 of 2012 north, he almost came in the center place of the road and the scooter came from the west to east that also came almost in the center place of the road.If the driver of the lorry and the rider of the motor cycle maintain the moderate speed then the accident could have been avoided.But, in this case, on reading of the evidence none of the witnesses except P.W.1 and P.W.6 has stated that the accident had occurred only to the rash and negligent manner of the petitioner.P.W.1 and P.W6, only have stated that the lorry driver of the offending vehicle, came with a high speed and hit the motor cycle and he did not raise any horn or warning and dashed against the motor cycle.The motor vehicle Inspector has stated that the width of the road is only 20 feet and while, turning the vehicle, one cannot maintain the speed more than 20 Kms.The motor vehicle Inspector has also spoken about the inspection report and the damages caused to the vehicle, which itself clearly shows that the accident could have happened due to the negligence of the rider of the motor cycle also.6 Even the defence counsel has put a suggestions before the Investigating Officer who laid a charge sheet, that the deceased has not possessed valid license at the time of accident, he has submitted that the rider of the motor cycle/deceased did not posses a valid license, even the prosecution has not found out the owner of the motor cycle.Therefore, in 5http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.R.C.No.1544 of 2012 the absence of specific materials, the prosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt and as stated by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also on seeing the rough sketch and from the evidence of the prosecution witnesses, this Court finds that prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt, both the Courts below have failed to appreciate the evidence properly.7 This Court finds that there is perversity in appreciation of the evidence by both the Courts and especially the witnesses have not specifically spoken that the revision petitioner driven the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner, therefore under these circumstances this criminal revision case is liable to be allowed.8 Accordingly, the present criminal revision case is allowed and judgment of both the Courts below are set aside.The fine amount if any paid by the revision petitioner shall be refunded.The petitioner is acquitted from the offences under Section 279 and 304(A).Consequently, connected Criminal Miscellaneous petition is closed.30.07.2019 Index : Yes/No Speaking order/non speaking order sbn

+"Rajesh Mahajan learned Amicus Curie who has been nominated by the Delhi High Court Legal Service Committee to argue the appeal on behalf of the appellant, it may be noted that Ram Chander PW-1 who is the father of the child kidnapped; namely Mukesh PW-2, while deposing in Court has not uttered any word of any threat conveyed to him pertaining to the kidnapped child of causing death or bodily injury to the kidnapped child.There is no reference in the testimony of Ram Chander of any conduct of the accused where from an apprehension would arise in the mind of Ram Chander that if ransom was not paid, his child would be hurt or killed.We note that Ram Chander has simply stated that when he received a call from the appellant he was told to bring money.With reference to the testimony of Ram Chander PW-1, Mukesh PW-2 and Raj Kumar PW-3, the learned trial Judge has returned a finding that the prosecution has successfully established that the appellant has committed the offence punishable under Section 364-A IPC.For the offence held committed by the appellant, he has been sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and pay fine in sum of Rs. 1000/-; in default of payment of fine it has been directed that the appellant shall undergo RI for further six months.Conceding that there is no blemish in the testimony of Crl.738/2003 Page 1 of 10 PW-1 and PW-2, learned counsel for the appellant points out a serious procedural infirmity during conduct of trial which has considerable bearing on the testimony of Raj Kumar PW-3 and the commission of the offence punishable under Section 364-A IPC.738/2003 Page 1 of 103. To appreciate the submissions urged at the hearing of the appeal by Sh.He categorically stated that no specific amount to be paid as ransom was conveyed to him.The kidnapped child i.e. Mukesh PW-2 has simply stated that the appellant had kidnapped him and when he wept he Crl.738/2003 Page 2 of 10 was beaten.738/2003 Page 2 of 10Raj Kumar PW-3, who runs a milk dairy in front of the tea shop belonging to Ram Chander stated that at his telephone number 2634918 when ransom call was received by him to be conveyed to Ram Chander, he was categorically informed that the police should not be told anything, otherwise the kidnapped child would be killed.In the back drop of the evidence afore-noted, submission made by learned counsel for the appellant is that, as held in the decision reported as JT 2007 (5) SC 48 Vishwanant Gupta Vs.With reference to the testimony of PW-3, learned counsel points out that PW-3 was examined on 08.08.2002 and was partially cross-examined on said date.Counsel submits that as recorded by the learned trial Judge, since no further time was left on 08.08.2002, further cross- examination was deferred.On said date, Crl.Learned counsel points out that the appellant was in custody on 29.10.2002 and was produced before the Court from the police lock-up in the Court premises when the case was called.Counsel wonders as to how could the appellant go in the Court complex to search for his lawyer.With reference to the record, counsel draws our attention to the order dated 30.10.2002 which records that the accused told the Judge he was a poor man and that his counsel was not appearing and he be provided with the service of a counsel at the State expense.On the same date Sh.Sanjiv Goel, Advocate was appointed as Amicus Curie.Vide order dated 30.10.2002 the application was allowed and it was directed that PW-1 and PW-3 would be summoned for further cross-examination.738/2003 Page 3 of 10At this stage, we may note that PW-1 was not cross- examined on 29.10.2002 i.e. the date fixed for his cross- Crl.738/2003 Page 4 of 10 examination for the reason counsel for the accused was absent.738/2003 Page 4 of 10On 31.10.2002 PW-1 appeared and was cross-examined.Inspite of being served PW-3 did not appear.What has happened as a result of the afore-noted fact is that a valuable right of the accused to cross-examine PW-3 on a very vital aspect of the matter has been violated.First is to set aside the impugned judgment and remit the matter for further evidence with directions that Raj Kumar PW-3 be summoned and tendered for further cross-examination.The other is to close the chapter in the appeal noting that the appellant has Crl.As of today the appellant has served an actual sentence of 8 years 4 months and 20 days.738/2003 Page 5 of 10There was evidence of threat being given to the victim being put to death.738/2003 Page 8 of 10The conviction of the appellant for the offence punishable under Section 364-A IPC is set

+"Mr. Raj Kumar Khanna, a practicing lawyer of this Court has sought for the quashing of the FIR No. 146/99 registered at Police Station Naraina, under Section 498A/406/34 Indian Penal Code (In short IPC) against him and his family members at the instance of his daughter-in-law Ms. Inderjit Kaur Sidhu, respondent No. 5 another practicing lawyer of this Court.2. Son of the petitioner Manoj Kumar is also a practicing lawyer of this Court.He got married to Inderjit Kaur Sidhu on 22nd September, 1996 according to Hindu rites at Gurudwara in Sarojini Nagar, New Delhi.After the marriage the newly married couple started living with the petitioner in his apartment.Relations between newly married couple became strained.According to petitioner, respondent No. 5 did not subscribe to the view points and values of petitioner and his family.She was adamant and not interested to live with her husband in the family of her husband.It is further averred that respondent No. 5 on becoming aware of Manoj Kumar's filing of a petition of divorce, fabricated a complaint not only against her husband, but implicated all family members of the petitioner with oblique motives and as a retaliation to the divorce proceedings initiated by Manoj Kumar.Respondent No. 5 filed a well thought out complaint so that all members of petitioner's family could be implicated.The said complaint was registered on 9th July, 1999 itself under Section 498A/406/34 IPC at Police Station Naraina.At that time the petitioner was about to leave his house in order to attend his cases in the High Court.Entire house of the petitioner was ransacked, every article stored in trunks and/or in wooden diwans and almirahs were pulled out.Each and every drawer and filing rack of his office was ransacked.it was procured to falsely implicate the petitioner and his family.My mother-in-law at that time quietly took over the money, but moment they left all of them punched on me with the same taunts and also my father-in-law and my husband gave me beating with sticks.I had no option at that moment but to be quite and suffered silently and also did not tell anybody about the same since I wanted to save my marriage and probably thought that one day they will realize their mistake.On 13th January' 97 my mother-in-law in the night told me that since tomorrow is an auspicious day i.e. 14th January, I will remove your Chudda, ask your father to send same gifts and cloths for her.But I could not inform my father, so next morning I myself went to market and bought a suit for her along with certain Puja items and sweets but she didn't like them and started abusing me and my parents for not giving her anything.As a mark of respect I used to hand over all the items and gifts to my mother-in-law i.e. jewellery.Sarees and were being kept with my mother-in-law.In fact he was so unfair and cruel in making statements like if you meant to be happy in this house you earn about Rs. 20,000/- to Rs. 25,000/- a month an give it to them.Nobody would dare to say anything to you.He further used to give me example of his cousins who were married into rich families and he used to tell me that their wives are earning Rs. 30,000/-, 40,000/- per month and nobody dares to say anything to them and at the time of monetary needs their in-laws always help them, but look at your parents, they have not given anything to make you happy.My father-in-law and on different occasions my mother-in-law and my husband used to tell me that my parents should sell of their immovable properties lying useless at my native place and should arrange to buy a flat for them in a good locality in Delhi.To save my matrimonial life I continued suffer silently and did not raise my voice and tried to adjust to the maximum.However they did nt mend their ways and continued to torture me in different ways including the way mentioned above.Because of this torture and the cruel behavior of my husband, brother-in-laws, and mother-in-law and father-in-law I suffered great physical and mental pain and agony.In the morning my husband and my brother-in-law had a fight for some reason and my husband became furious and asked me to leave the place along with him.I did same when my husband asked for the car keys from my brother-in-law & my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law told my husband in front of me ""Iske baap ki gaadi nahin hai, gadi mein ghumna hai to Iske baap ko bol kam se kam thodi sharm kar le aur apni beti aur damad ke liye ek car to kharid de, itni hasiyat to hai uski."" That day I came back with my husband in scorching heat.My husband then dragged me to my room and locked me inside my room, luckily the phone was in my room and I immediately called my father and asked him to come as soon as possible, Since I could not bear the humiliation and injuries I could hear outside the room filthiest abuses and languages being said by my mother-in-law an brother-in-law. ""YEH DO TAKE KI AURAT APNE APP KO KYA SAMAJHATI HAI, IS KE BAAP NE KYA DIYA HAI, JO ISSE APNE GHAR MEIN RAKHE JO ISKE PAAS THA, WOH TO MIL GYA AB KYA RAKHA HAI IS MEIN DAFA KARO YAHAN SE."" I immediately phoned my father and asked him to come home directly.I through all quarters kept on making efforts and always hoped that some sense would prevail over them but thing went bad to worse.I may also inform your goodself that my relatives namely Mr. Ranjeet Brar, Mr. Joginder Mann, Mr. Gurdev Brar, My father and My younger brother and common friends namely Mrs. Anusuya Salwan etc. had made efforts to reconcile the issue but due to the greedy nature of the accused persons and their lust for dowry they had refused for any settlement.That recently I have started receiving threatening telephonic calls from my in-laws or at their behest that in case I do not accept their illegal and unjustified demands me and my family will have to face dire consequences.Now I am left with no option but to lodge this complaint and I request your goodself to kindly book the accused persons and take appropriate actions by registering a case against Mr. Manoj Khanna, Mr. Raj Kumar Khanna, Rohit Khanna and Mrs. Nirmal Khanna for causing physical and mental torture for demanding dowry and for not returning my Shri Dhan and refusing to maintain me.JUDGMENT Usha Mehra, J.She left the matrimonial home on 5th September, 1997 informing her husband that she would never come back.Son of the petitioner filed a petition for divorce.Summon on that petition was ordered to be issued.Ms. Inderjit Kaur removed the sarees and gold jewellery of petitioner's wife claiming those to be hers.Police accordingly seized even the articles belonging to petitioner's wife.Inderjit Kaur not only got seized sarees and gold ornaments but removed letters, greeting cards which she had written to her husband during the period she stayed away from her husband.Those letters, greeting cards when produce would show that she was all complements for petitioner and his wife.Protest was raised by the petitioner and his wife than the articles like letters, photos, diary and greeting cards could not form ""Stridhan"" hence these could not be seized.But police in particular respondent No. 4 in connivance with respondent No. 5 brushed aside the protests of the petitioner.Illegally and forcibly police permitted respondent No. 5 remove those letters, greeting cards, diary and photographs.Petitioner insisted signing the seizure memo.Respondent No. 4 forced by petitioner allowed him to counter sign the letters, greeting cards, photos and the diary.Seizure memo was prepared at the spot.Thereafter the petitioner and his wife were arrested.However, bail was granted to them subsequently.The police authorities acted on extraneous consideration and in a hurry without verifying the facts in raiding his house.Mr. D.C. Mathur, Senior Advocate, appearing for the petitioner has sought quashing of FIR on the following grounds:- (1) that the procedure adopted by SI Nirmal Sharma was extraordinary.It is contrary to the well regulated procedure followed by the police in other similarly situated case; (2) that the allegations levelled against the petitioner do not make out any case either under Section 406 IPC or under Section 498-A IPC; (3) The complaint dated 9th July, 1999 was lodged at the instance of respondent No. 5 after two years of her leaving the matrimonial home.It is a meticulously executed legally drafted document and well thought out comprehensive complaint.This smacks of malafide on the part of the investigating officer who in connivance with connivance with respondent No. 5 falsely implicated each and every member of petitioner's family.Complaint was lodged by respondent No. 5 with the Deputy Commissioner of Police (South-West District) Delhi on 9th July, 1999 and at a super speed the FIR bearing No. 146/99 was ordered to be registered at Police Station Naraina against the petitioner and his family members.The speed at which the FIR was got registered shows malafide on the part of police officials.In the normal course the complaint ought to have been endorsed by SHO Police Station Naraina and then forwarded it to Crime Against Women Cell.Since there was a connivance between respondent No. 2 i.e. Dy.The proceedings taken up by the Crime Against Women Cell are mainly directed to bring about a reconciliation between the strained spouses.It is always kept in mind that the petitioner-wife should not drag the husband-respondent straight to the Court, lest the relations between the couple become more strained.663/1995 wherein he has stated as under:-""The proceedings by the Crime Against Women Cell are in the nature of enquiry to find out the truth as to the allegations made in the complaint before registering a case.For example it becomes necessary to ascertain the factum of marriage, even and also the allegations of cruelty and Stridhan.""But police contrary to its own affidavit as referred to above acted just in the reverse.It did not bother to verify the facts nor bothered to call the parties for reconciliation.Instead police in a hurry registered the case in super speed.Commissioner of Public could have verified the complaint as per the requirements as spell out in the affidavit of Dy.Commissioner of Police (Hqrs.).Nothing has been placed on record to show what was the grave urgency in registering the case without holding preliminary inquiry particularly when the complainant herself conveniently slept over the matter for almost two years.This shows malafide on the part of the police who in connivance with respondent No. 5 wanted to harass the petitioner and his family and also wanted to destroy the evidence against her.No attempt was made to resolve the difference between Manoj Kumar and respondent No. 5 nor efforts were made to bring about amicable settlement for which purpose Crime Against Women Cell was created.This cell is meant to safeguard the marriage and not to ruin it by registering case immediately on the asking of the complainant.As per her own showing she continued to keep channel of communication open with her husband even after leaving the matrimonial home.But when the petitioner's son filed divorce petition on 26th May, 1999 as a retaliation she lodged the present complaint in order to wreck vengeance.There was no question of petitioner voluntarily handing over these documents.Police is trying to cover up its misdeeds.Even otherwise respondent No. 5 has made general allegations against the petitioner ascribing no specific role to him.The allegations made being omnibus allegations can be read to his advantage.Complainant has named each and every member of the family just as a pressure tactics.To Deputy Commissioner of Police, South West District, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi Complaint AgainstMy mother-in-law and relatives from husband's side gave me few items as gifts, the details of which is also enclosed as Annexure 'B'.Shockingly just within few days of my marriage, my husband, his brother and his parents all of them started taunting me for not bringing sufficient dowry as per their standard and expectations.My mother-in-law used to taunt me and use to say ""that me and my family have fooled them and has played fraud on them since I had not brought enough dowry and said that since she belongs to Amritser and has known the Jat community very well and they are known for giving lot of dowry on their daughters wedding, but in my son's case you people had played fraud on us.My son used to get lot of proposals of rich girls."" She used to use the filthiest abuses for me like ""KUTTI, HARAMZADI, KAMINI, HAMARE PALLE PAD GAI HAI, HAMARE SATH DHOKHA HUA HAI, ASSEE TE SOCHYA SI KI JATTAN VICH BAHUT KUCHH DITA JANDA HAI.""All of them in fact used to use abusive and filthiest of language to taunt me and harass me.On 23.9.96 I went back to my parents house along with my husband for Pheras and my parents gave me sweets and gifts for my in-laws (as stated in the Annexure-A).On my return to the house some of the relatives from in-laws side were also present in the house and when I showed the gifts and sweets to them, they made fun of me and taunted me along with my mother-in-law and brother-in-law that they are not happy with what I have got and said that all these things even a Peon can give to his daughter and look at your standard.My agony continued with each occasion which followed month after month.On Karva Chauth i.e. 22.10.96 my father along with one of his cousin came to my house with lot of gifts, cloths, sweets and utensils as per the custom for my mother-in-law, brother-in-law, husband and father-in-law.My mother-in-law also demanded that as per this custom gold is to be given on this occasion, but your parents have not given anything and I was aghast and shocked with their behavior and tried to ask my husband as to what is wrong in the gifts which have been given.Instead of replying he slapped me and I had no option but to suffer and sulk within myself which resulted in lot of mental trauma and physical tension which effected my health.On the Diwali day i.e. 10.11.96 again my parents Along with my relatives came to our house with lot of gifts and sweets and my in-laws instead of welcoming them were rude and dry to them.After they left once again my brother-in-law Along with my mother-in-law showered the filthiest abuses and taunts and also did not give any food to me to eat on that day.On the next morning my mother-in-law gave stale food for me to eat.My father-in-law and husband also taunted me and said that I am a liability on them as there are no gains from me to them.Certain cloths of my daily use were with me and were Along with some piece of jewellery like 2 pairs of gold earrings and 2 rings for my daily use, but the keys of the almirah were always with my husband.It is worth mentioning here that the items like tape recorder, transistor, emergency light, certain sarees, 6 bed sheets, certain crockery items which were given to me on different occasions by my parents were handed over to my brother-in-law by me on instructions of my mother-in-law as she told me that these items will berequired at the time of the brother-in-law as she told me that these items will be required at the time of the brother-in-law's marriage.My in-laws and my brother not only used to taunt me but all of them use to beat me on one pretext or the other.I was not allowed to touch anything of the house and also even if there were any phone calls for me which I used to attend, my brother-in-law in the filthiest language to use tell me ""PHONE TERE BAAP KA NAHIN HAI, BILL TERE BAAP KE GHAR SE NAHIN JATA, JO PHONE use KARTI HIA."" He further started insulting everyone, who so ever use to call me like my friends, relatives and including my parents.My brother-in-law was so cruel and a rowdy character that he is fact used to beat me with belt and a stick lying in the house.On my complaint my husband used to tell me that since I was not earning enough of money so therefore these problems would continue.So much so that on number of occasions I had nervous breakdown and the Doctors attending to me categtorrically diagnosed that my indisposition was mainly became of mental tension.Apart from this on more than once occasion I suffered physical injury in my body on more than one occasions as mentioned above.My brother-in-law, mother-in-law, also started taunting and insulting me at the relatives places whenever I used to go there with them and used to make fun of me.In the month of June' 97 on once such occasion me my husband my mother-in-law and brother-in-law went to reside for a day at one of the relative in Faridabad.Since we had to walk for about two kilometres to catch the bus for Delhi, I suffered from severe sunstroke and no body took care of me.On 5.9.1997 it was a usual morning in the house as usual there was a fight between my husband and my father-in-law which I have seen right from the day one of my entering the house with regard to some joint property money.I told my husband that why he is fighting for money with his father, he should stand on his own feet.To this my husband told me that I will be like this only if you don't like you can leave this house and slapped a newspaper on my face.I was slightly agitated on this and proved my father and asked him to come to the Court as I was wanted to tell him some thing since things were unbearable for me.I came outside the room and my mother-law-law started abusing me for nothing.To which I told that you are the one who has created all the problems because of her greediness of money.Moment I said this my brother-in-law started hitting me on my head with a belt in his hand and seeing my father-in-law and my husband silently watching this later on also joined my brother-in-law and also started hitting me with blows and legs.My father reached in 40 minutes.My husband in the meantime and opened the door and pushed me outside the house so I sat in the neighbours house.When I saw my father climbing up I called him and told him about the incidents and my father told me not to worry and pacified me and told me that he will talk to them.My brother-in-law had already left the house.My father-in-law and my husband apologised to my father for their act and requested him that you take her back for few days and my husband said that he would pick me up after 3-4 days.Despite their tortures and the cruel behavior I did not inform to anybody about this incident except my father for the sake of saving my marriage.However, I continued my efforts to talk my husband after this.But he always deferred the issue on one pretest or the other.Of late he even started saying that ""I was their with him only on a trial basis since the trial period is over the file must be consigned to record room."" My husband always used to boost about his contacts in judiciary and other circles and used to say that nobody can do any harm to him, no matter what may come he will never continued this relationship.During my stay with my parents number of time I demanded my Shri Dhan from my husband, his brother and parents, but all of them point blank refused to return the same which was kept with them.All of them on different occasion had a strange demand that I should agree for divorce on mutual consent so that my husband could be remarried to a rich family, according to them there were lot of such offers, even after my marriage to him and my mother-in-law also told me that girls are available in plenty of numbers there is no dearth of girls for his boy.They can choose and get anything they want among the girls an there was no need of yours.She use to say ""KUDIYAN DA KOI GHATA NAHIN, BATHERIAN MILDIYAN NE"".On number of occasions I told my husband in the court premises that since I was not having sufficient income to support myself, so therefore he should pay me at least my pocket expenses and day to day expenses to maintain myself, but he always refused to do so.New Delhi Dated: ; 9-7-99 Complainant Inderjeet Sidhu d/o Sh.Though the complaint was not paragraphed but for the sake of convenience it has been paragraphed and numbered.Except the allegation in para 9 she has not attributed any cruelty against the petitioner linking with any kind of demand.In para 11 she says she left the house on 5th September, 1997 because of he fight had nothing to do with her.Reading of para 11 shows that petitioner has not been accused of any cruelty rather as per her own showing, the petitioner apologised to her father who came to take her.She left the matrimonial home on 5th September, 1997 and after almost two years she lodged the complaint on 9th July, 1999 involving all the members of her husband's family.","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 155 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 156 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No. 245/2012 Page 3 of 14 the open portion of the plot and started consuming liquor.She did not approve of this.When her husband, the deceased Darshan Singh, returned home, she expressed her grievance and annoyance to her husband.Darshan Singh started speaking to respondent Nos. 2 and 3 and PW-6 went to the kitchen for preparing food.During the discussion, Darshan Singh and the respondent Nos.2 and 3 entered into fisticuffs and she came out after hearing the commotion.She was pushed by the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 and she tore the clothes worn by them.Respondent Nos. 2 Randhir Singh @ Dhira gave a couple of stab blows by knife to the husband in his abdomen but she was not able to state the total number of stab wounds given.She called the police by making a call at telephone No. 100 and in the meanwhile respondent Nos. 2 and 3 ran away from the spot.She took the deceased to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital.There he was treated and his statement (Exhibit PW-6/A) was recorded.Thereafter, on 24th March, 2005, the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 were arrested from a liquor shop at Nihal Vihar.She had witnessed their arrests.She deposed that respondent Nos. 2 and 3 had started grappling with her husband and when she tried to save him, the two respondents had pushed her.She further deposed that respondent No. 2 had stabbed her husband, whereas Crl.PW-6 is clear and categorical in her examination- in-chief and cross-examination that after her husband came back at 8.30 P.M. she had gone to the kitchen to prepare food.It is, therefore, clear that there was a time gap between the deceased coming back to the house and the occurrence, i.e., the fight which took place.He had claimed that earlier he had liquor with the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 at bus stand and thereafter had travelled with the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 on the scooter but had got dropped at a location before his house.The deceased was admitted to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital at about 10.30 P.M. on 23rd March, 2005 as per MLC (Exhibit PW-9/A).In these circumstances, we are inclined to discount the dying declaration of the deceased, as purportedly recorded in Exhibit PW-6/A that the deceased had objected to drinking of respondent No. 2 and 3 in the open portion of his house, after returning home at 8.30 P.M. One of the reasons we are inclined to disbelieve the deceased's statement to the said effect is that PW-6 has stated that she on request of the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 had given them a knife for cutting salad.This Crl.At another portion in the MLC (Exhibit PW-9/A) it is mentioned that stab wound of 3 x 3.5 cm was present in epigastric region to the right side of the middle line.We note that there was only one stab wound.Through Mr. Sanjay Lao, APP for the State.HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJIV KHANNA HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SIDDHARTH MRIDUL SANJIV KHANNA, J. (ORAL):Surinder Kaur, mother of the deceased-Darshan Singh, has filed the present appeal impugning the judgment dated 29th October, 2011 and order of sentence dated 9th November, 2011 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge in the charge sheet emanating from FIR No. 266/2005, Police Station Nangloi, under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC, for short).By the impugned judgment, the respondent No. 2 Randhir Singh Crl.A. No. 245/2012 Page 1 of 14 @ Dhira has been convicted under Section 304 Part-I read with Section 326 and 34 IPC and sentenced to Rigorous Imprisonment of five years and fine of Rs.1 lakh.In default of payment of fine, the appellant has to undergo Simple Imprisonment for a period of six months.The other co-accused Jaspal Singh has been convicted under Section 326 read with Section 34 IPC and sentenced to Rigorous Imprisonment for a period of one year and six months.He has also been directed to pay fine of Rs.1 lakh and in default of payment of fine to undergo Simple Imprisonment for six months.A. No. 245/2012 Page 1 of 14At the outset, we record that the State has accepted the judgment and the order on sentence and has not preferred any leave to appeal.Learned counsel for the appellant impugning the judgment and order on sentence has raised three contentions; (i) the conviction should have been under Section 302 IPC; (ii) the sentence under Section 304 Part-I IPC for five years and fine of Rs.1 lakh is inadequate and (iii) Jaspal Singh was wrongly convicted under Section 326 IPC and should have been convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC.An additional prayer is made with regard to compensation, which was directed to be paid to the wife, i.e., Jagjit Crl.A. No. 245/2012 Page 2 of 14 Kaur.A. No. 245/2012 Page 2 of 14The three contentions are somewhat inter-connected and, therefore, have to be examined together.The trial court judgment is lucid and elaborate and sets out the circumstances why respondent No. 2 has been convicted under Section 304 Part-I IPC and not under Section 302 IPC.The judgment also explains why respondent No. 3 has been convicted under Section 326 read with Section 34 IPC and not under Section 304 Part-I IPC.We have examined the reasoning given by the trial court judgment and also the statements of the relevant witnesses, namely, Jagjit Kaur (PW-6) wife of the deceased, Dr. Vivek Bindal (PW-12), Dr. Kulbhushan (PW-13) and Dr. Manoj (PW-9).We note here that the learned counsel appearing for the respondents have relied upon statement of ASI Dharam Singh (PW-8).A. No. 245/2012 Page 4 of 14 respondent No. 3 kept watching the occurrence.She deposed that she knew Randhir and identified him.She also identified respondent No. 3 who was present in the court and had stated that she did not know his name.PW-6 was cross-examined by the Public Prosecutor.A. No. 245/2012 Page 3 of 14A. No. 245/2012 Page 4 of 14PW-6 in her cross-examination has deposed that she did not know respondent No. 3-Jaspal but she had given a knife to the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 for cutting salad.She has stated that these persons had come to their house at 8 P.M. on 23rd March, 2005, whereas her husband arrived at the house at 8.30 P.M. The occurrence in question as per the telephone call made to the police control room phone had taken place between 9 to 9.12 P.M. The PCR form (Exhibit PW-15/B) records that a telephone call was made to the control room at 9.12 P.M. stating that in the house RZ-285, S Block, Munna Property Dealer, there was a quarrel and exchange of blows.Thereafter, DD entry No. 26 was recorded at P.P. Nihar Vihar, Police Station Nangloi at 9.15 P.M. Crl.A. No. 245/2012 Page 5 of 14 (Exhibit PW-7/A).A. No. 245/2012 Page 6 of 14 shows that PW-6 at least knew the respondent No. 2 fairly well.As per PW-6 and the dying declaration of the deceased (Ex. PW-6/A), the respondent Nos. 2 and 3 were already drunk when they came to the house and after that they had asked for the knife.The aforesaid conduct of the said two respondents and PW-6 shows that she was acquainted and knew drinking habits of the respondent No. 2 and her husband, deceased Darshan Singh.A. No. 245/2012 Page 5 of 14A. No. 245/2012 Page 6 of 14The PW-6 has clearly deposed that there was a sudden quarrel between the deceased and the respondent Nos. 2 and 3, who were otherwise drinking together.However, the consequences can be ascertained from the medical records.The MLC (Exhibit PW-9/A) records that the patient was conscious and oriented and had one stab wound 3 cm x 1 cm on epigastric region.The patient was declared fit for statement.The aforesaid MLC was proved by Dr. Manoj (PW-9) but the said doctor had not personally examined the deceased.PW-9 has deposed that Dr. Deepak had initially examined Darshan Singh and thereafter he was examined by Dr. Vivek, Senior Resident, Surgery.Dr. Deepak and Dr. Vivek were not produced.A. No. 245/2012 Page 7 of 14A. No. 245/2012 Page 7 of 14He has stated that he had visited Darshan Singh in his house on 26th March, 2005 and at that time Darshan Singh had complained about pain in stomach.PW-8 did not record any statement to the this effect.Later on he came to know on 1st April, 2005 at 12.45 at night that Darshan Singh had expired at LNJP Hospital.Thus, there is dispute, whether the deceased Darshan Singh was discharged from Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital on or about 25th March, 2005 or was referred to LNJP Hospital for further treatment without being discharged as such.In these circumstances, we are inclined to disbelieve the statement made by PW-8 and accept the position as contended by the appellant that the deceased was referred from Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital to LNJP Hospital.The medical records in the present case, which have been recorded contemporaneously, support the said Crl.A. No. 245/2012 Page 8 of 14 contention.A. No. 245/2012 Page 8 of 14The cause of death as recorded in Exhibit PW-12/A was hepatic failure with acute renal failure with metabolic acidosis with septecemia.The post-mortem report was proved by Dr. Kulbhushan (PW-13).He has stated that the post-mortem was conducted by one Dr. Rohit but he has left the hospital and his whereabouts were not known.We may note that two injuries were noticed in the post-mortem and they are as under:""1) Contusion 25x10 cms present on right chest region and upper front of abdomen on ..side.2) Stab wound 2x0.5x3 cms present on right upper abdomen 11 cms above the umbilicus and 2.5 cm to the right of midline.As already recorded above, it is not injury No. 2 but as per the post-mortem report, injury No. 1 was the cause of death.PW-13 in his deposition in the court has stated as under:""Injury No. 1 is antimortum, around 1 week in duration and could be caused by blunt force impact.Injury No. 2 is caused by sharp edged weapon.Injury No. 1 is sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature.""A. No. 245/2012 Page 9 of 14As per the post-mortem, the deceased had sustained five external injuries, namely, (i) contusion 12x10 cms on right lower chest region and upper front of abdomen on right side (ii) stab wound of 2x0.5x3 cms on the right upper abdomen, (iii) lapratomy, i.e., operation wound of 22 cms in front abdomen (iv) scabbed abrasion of .5x.5 cm on the left knee and (v) scabbed abrasion of 1x1 cm on left leg.The stab wound as per the post-mortem report and as per the testimony of PW-13 was not sufficient or the cause of death.The said injury resulted in damage/injury to the liver and consequent thereupon Darshan Singh died after an operation.He had remained hospitalized for eight days.In these circumstances, we feel that the respondent No. 2 has been rightly convicted under Section 304 Part-I and not under Section 302 IPC.That apart, we also feel that Explanation 4 to Section 300 IPC would be applicable as there was a sudden quarrel and in that process there was a scuffle causing Injury Crl.No doubt a kitchen knife, which was given by PW-6 for cutting salad, was used but then that would not draw or take the case out of Explanation 4 to Section 300 IPC.The stab wound was not the cause of death.A. No. 245/2012 Page 10 of 14Neither was he found to be instigating the other respondent on goading him on.In view of the statement of PW-6, an eye witness to the occurrence who was deposing after the loss of her husband, it is held that respondent No. 3 has been rightly convicted Crl.Generally, the order of acquittal Crl.A. No. 245/2012 Page 12 of 14 shall not be interfered with because the presumption of innocence of the accused is further strengthened by acquittal.A.

Shyam Bihari has also stated that he met daroga and put his thumb impression on the paper when he came police station along with the dead body.He has also stated that he reached police station along with the dead body at 10:00 P.M. in the night while P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati has stated that the dead body reached police station at 6:00 P.M. and Shyam Bihari was also along with her.Both witnesses also stated that their statements might have been recorded on the same day, from which it becomes clear that first information report is anti-timed.It is also submitted that on the point of lodging F.I.R. and reaching of the informant to the police station question could have been put to the scribe of the chik and G.D. but scribe of chik and G.D. has not been produced by the prosecution so he has been deprived of the opportunity of cross-examination also.He has also submitted that according to prosecution a spear injury was caused to the deceased in the stomach.Injury by spear will be punctured one but according to post-mortem report injury no.1 has been found to be stomach injury cavity deep incised wound of 14 c.m. x 7 c.m.Thus, the injury alleged to have been caused by spear does not match with the medical report.His next submission is that according to P.W.1 Shyam Bihari the incident took place 20 steps away from the west side of the river and its natural sense will be that incident took place towards west side of the river while P.W.5 Investigating Officer Gyan Singh has stated that the dead body was at a distance of 20 steps in the east from the river, as such from the prosecution evidence place of occurrence is also not established.He further submitted that Smt. Ram Rati has stated that in the incident her forefinger of right hand was cut off but there is no medical report to support her statement and Investigating Officer has stated that if finger of Smt. Ram Rati was cut off then she must have told him and he would have got her medically examined thus Investigating Officer does not support her statement, which makes her presence at the spot doubtful.Next submission is that P.W.1 Shyam Bihari has stated that he was residing along with his son in Sitarganj and he was residing separate with his deceased brother.What was occasion to come on the day of incident has not been explained.Therefore, his presence at the time of incident is doubtful.Lastly he has submitted that P.W.1 Shyam Bihari informant is brother, Smt. Ram Rati is wife of the deceased, both are highly interested witnesses.P.W.1 Shyam Bihari states that he does not know about share and side of the deceased land.He also states that as soon as the accused reached on the field, the accused grappled with his brother while P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati states that reaching the field marking for partition were made, talks took place between them, near about half an hour period was spent in the field and when her husband sat to smoke chilam, incident took place.Thus, inference will be either P.W.1 Shyam Bihari or P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati is telling a lie or both of them are telling a lie.Learned counsel prayed that prosecution has failed to prove the charge beyond reasonable doubt against the appellants.The impugned judgement and order is not sustainable.Accordingly, judgement and order is liable to be set aside and appellants are liable to be acquitted.On the other hand Sri Ajit Ray, learned A.G.A. for the respondent submits that on the basis of oral information of the informant Shyam Bihari, F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 was registered at 3:30 P.M. and in Ext.Ka-1 itself time of the incident has been mentioned 1:00 P.M., not a single question has been put by the defence from the witness P.W.6 Narendra Pal Singh regarding the time of registration of the case.The informant P.W.1 Shyam Bihari, P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati are rustic persons and their statements in the trial court have been recorded near about after lapse of 6 years from the date of incident.According to Prabhu Dayal v/s State of Rajasthan (2018) 3 SCC (Cr.) 518 rustic witnesses can develop a tendency to exaggerate and this does not make that the entire testimony of such witnesses is falsehood.Minor contradiction in the testimony of witnesses are not fatal to the prosecution case.In State of Karnataka v/s Suvarnamma (2015) 1 SCC (Crl.) 663, Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that in regard to exact time of an incident or the time of duration of an occurrence, usually people make their estimates by guess work on the spur of the moment at the time of interrogation.It depends on the time sense of individuals which varies from person to person.A witness is liable to be overawed by the court atmosphere and piercing cross-examination by the 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 the witnesses nowdays go on adding embellishments to their version perhaps for the fear of their testimony being rejected by the court.The courts should not disbelieve the evidence of such witnesses altogether if they are otherwise trustworthy.So, on the basis of the statement of informant Shyam Bihari and P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati, it cannot be said that the F.I.R. is anti-timed.Placing reliance on Vijai Pal v/s State (Govt. of NCT Delhi) (2015) 2 SCC (Cr.) 733, he has submitted that value of medical evidence is only corroborative and testimony of Shyam Bihari and Smt. Ram Rati with regard to causing spear injury in stomach by Ram Chander is intact and their statements in this regard are reliable.He also submitted that P.W.1 Shyam Bihari and P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati have stated that after taking meal they had gone to the field which is corroborated by medical evidence as in post-mortem report Doctor has also found that 2-3 hours before the incident deceased could have taken meal.Shyam Bihari has stated that he lived separately with the deceased in the village and he also lived at Sitarganj along with his son.In his cross-examination nothing has been elicited from which it can be inferred that on the date of incident he was not present on the spot and in the village, where the incident took place.The spot map Ext.ka-12 has been proved by the Investigating Officer P.W.5 Sub-Inspector Gyan Singh, who had taken the blood stained and plain sands from the place of incident and it has been sent to Forensic Science Laboratory, Agra.According to expert report human blood has been found on it from which the place of occurrence is established.Shyam Bihari has stated that place of incident is 20 steps away from the west side of the river.On the basis of his statement it cannot be inferred that the place of incident is changed.He has further submitted that the witnesses have stated that in murder of Jagdish, case was registered against the deceased.He has also stated that a gangster case was also registered against the deceased brother and another case under Section 25 Arms Act was also registered against him which indicates that the witness is not concealing the facts but speaking truly, thus he is reliable and trustworthy witness.Lastly he has submitted that so far as discrepancy regarding incident taking place on reaching the place of incident and after sometime reaching the place of incident is concerned due to the lapse of time and witnesses being rustic one, this discrepancy has taken place but P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati has stated that on reaching the spot places were dug for marking in which half an hour was spent and when her husband sat for smoking chilam the incident was caused.She has also stated that from the house in reaching the spot it took half an hour.The estimated time has been told by the witness which also corroborate the time of incident to be 1:00 P.M. mentioned in the F.I.R. Ext.He submitted that from the evidences produced by the prosecution charges are fully proved against the appellants.The trial court has rightly convicted and sentenced the appellants-accused.In cross-examination P.W.1 Shyam Bihari has stated that he reached the spot at 1:00 P.M. going from the police station, while as per F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1, the report of the incident has been made on 22.11.1991 at 15:30 P.M. In cross-examination Shyam Bihari has also stated that dead body reached the police station at 10:00 P.M. P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati has stated that dead body came to the police station at 6:00 P.M. As such there is a discrepancy between statements of Shyam Bihari and Smt. Ram Rati with regard to reaching the dead body at the police station.P.W.1 Shyam Bihari has stated that by dictating he lodged the report and after hearing it, he had put his thumb impression.From his statement it is very much clear that when he went to the police station for lodging report at that very time after dictating and hearing the report he put his thumb impression on the report.He has also stated that he is illiterate and he by profession is a farmer.P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati has also stated that she is illiterate.As per F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 informant Shyam Bihari is by caste Dhobi (washerman).The sub- conscious mind of the witness sometimes so operates on account of the fear of looking foolish or being disbelieved though the witness is giving a truthful and honest account of the occurrence witnessed by him -- Perhaps it is a sort of a psychological defence mechanism activated on the spur of the moment.""In the instant case the incident has occurred on 22.11.1991 and statement of P.W.1 Shyam Bihari was recorded on 23.10.1997 and statement of P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati was started on 23.10.1997 and completed on 03.03.1998 i.e. the statements of both witnesses were recorded near about after a lapse of six years.In the first information report, Ext.Ka-1 the time of incident has been mentioned 1:00 P.M. and time of giving information to the police station is mentioned as 15:30 P.M. The witness has stated very clearly that he reached the police station and at the police station he had no talk with the daroga.This much talk too did not take place that you reach on the spot.Further he has stated that after lodging report he had gone at the spot and he reached on the spot from the police station at about 1:00 P.M. in the afternoon.It appears that due to his testimony being recorded after a lapse of six years from the date of incident and witness is also a rustic witness overawed by the court atmosphere and piercing cross-examination made by counsel and out of nervousness mixing up facts, getting confused regarding sequence of events or fill up details from imagination on the spur of the moment as held by Hon'ble Supreme Court in Bharwada Bhoginbhai Hirjibhai v/s State of Gujarat, (supra), he has stated that he reached on the spot at 1:00 P.M. going from the police station.Informant Shyam Bihari has further stated that he had talk with darogaji at the police station at the time when he made thumb impression on the paper.He has also stated that when he came along with the dead body at the police station then he had met darogaji.He has clearly stated that after lodging report he had gone on the spot.From his whole statement it is clear that after lodging the report, informant Shyam Bihari returned to the spot thereafter dead body of the deceased was taken to the police station.It appears that due to statement being recorded after six years from the date of incident and informant being rustic one out of nervousness mixing the fact with regard to putting thumb impression has stated that he put his thumb impression on papers when he met darogaji on coming along with dead body.Considering his whole statement it can't be inferred that he lodged the report when dead body reached the police station.Thus, on the basis of statements of P.W.1 Shyam Bihari that he reached the place of incident at 1:00 P.M. going from the police station and statement of Smt. Ram Rati as well as his statement with regard to time of reaching dead body at the police station, time of lodging F.I.R. 15:30 P.M. mentioned in Ext.Ka-1 and informant's putting thumb impression on paper when he met daroga along with dead body, it can't be inferred that F.I.R. was lodged when dead body reached the police station.In view of the above discussion, we do not find any substance in the contention of learned counsel for the appellants that F.I.R. is anti timed.24. P.W.1 Shyam Bihari in his cross-examination has stated that the incident has taken place at a distance about 20 steps from the west side of the river and as per P.W.5 Gyan Singh Investigating Officer and spot map Ext.Ka-12 distance of the dead body from the river is 22 steps towards east of the river.The veracity of spot map Ext.Ka-12 proved by Investigating Officer P.W.5 Gyan Singh has not been disputed by the defence.In the Ext.Ka-12 dead body has been shown at place marked as ''D' which is towards east of the river and distance of the dead body from the east of the river has been shown to be 22 steps.P.W.1 Shyam Bihari has stated that the incident took place at about 20 steps from the west side of the river which cannot be taken as the dead body was 20 steps towards west from the west side of the river.It is tact of the counsel as to how he puts question to a witness.Ka-13 Investigating Officer took into his possession blood stained (sand) from the place of incident.He also took into his possession the towel from which legs of deceased alleged to have been tied and a spade shown in the spot map at place F was found.According to scientific report available on record human blood were found on the materials recovered from the place of incident.These facts clearly establish the place of incident towards east of the river.As such prosecution regarding place of incident is consistent, corroborated and reliable.In view of the above, we also find no substance in the contention of learned counsel for the appellants that on the basis of statement of informant P.W.1 Shyam Bihari and P.W.5 Investigating Officer, Gyan Singh, place of incident is not established.As per post-mortem report Ext.Ka-2, seven incised wounds and two abrasions have been found on the person of the deceased, in which injury no.1 is incised wound 14 cm.x 7 cm.cavity deep at the front of abdomen 5 c.m.below the umbilicus, intestine coming out.In Ext.Ka-1 proved by P.W.1 Shyam Bihari, it has been mentioned that Ram Sunder inflicted spear injury on the stomach.P.W.1 Shyam Bihari through his testimony also has supported the prosecution version and has stated that accused Ram Chander caused spear injury in the stomach of deceased Beni Ram.P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati too supporting the prosecution story has stated that Ram Chander caused spear injury in the stomach of her husband.Statement of both the witnesses regarding inflicting spear injury in the stomach of deceased Beni Ram by appellant-accused Ram Chander has not been impeached.Thus, the statement of P.W.1 Shyam Bihari and P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati is consistent and corroborative to each other.For instance, while the accused were armed with kantas and spears, only one punctured wound was found.The use which the defence can make of the medical evidence is to prove that the injuries could not possibly have been caused in the manner alleged and thereby discredit the eye-witnesses.The significance of the evidence of the doctor lies vis--vis the injuries appearing on the body of the deceased person and likely use of the weapon and it would then be the prosecutor's duty and obligation to have the corroborative evidence available on record from the other prosecution witnesses.In cross-examination she has stated that she had shown the cut finger to the Investigating Officer.The Investigating Officer P.W.5 Gyan Singh has stated that he cannot tell whether finger of Smt. Ram Rati was cut or not.Smt. Ram Rati had not received any injury and her finger was not cut, if it happened, so, then she certainly would have told him and he would have got her medically examined for the same.In first information report, it is mentioned that along with deceased Beni Ram, Smt. Ram Rati had also gone at the place of incident.In spot map Ext.Ka-12 at place-1 shown in a circle presence of wife of the deceased has been mentioned.As per statement of P.W.5 Gyan Singh, the spot map was prepared on the day of incident and from cross-examination nothing has been extracted so that its veracity can be doubted.P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati has also stated that she had accompanied her husband and in her cross-examination by defence nothing material has been extracted, so that her presence on the spot at the time of incident can be doubted.P.W.1 Shyam Bihari in examination-in-chief as well as in cross-examination has stated that he and his sister-in-law (bhabhi) were present on the spot together.He has also stated that due to fear of accused his bhabhi did not go to the deceased to save him.Thus, with regard to presence of P.W.1 Shyam Bihari and P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati at the time of incident on the spot, prosecution evidence is consistent, corroborative to each other.P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati in last day of her cross-examination has stated that when her husband was caught, tied and killed she cried and wept, five persons were there so, she could not dare save him.As such the prosecution evidence of P.W.1 Shyam Bihari and P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati is consistent and corroborated to each other that due to fear of accused, Smt. Ram Rati did not go to the deceased to save him which in the facts and circumstances of the case appears credible.She has also stated that she tried to save her husband but accused caught hold her.She has further stated that when her finger was cut blood dropped on the place of incident.Next, she has stated that she did not feel finger was cut off.Again she has stated that finger was fallen there on the spot.She has also stated that as the spade was jabbed on neck, she fell down over her husband and injury was caused in her hand.It is the prosecution case that accused Sunder Lal was jabbing with spade and accused Ram Chander with spear and according to Smt. Ram Rati her forefinger was cut as the spade was jabbed on the neck she fell over her husband to save him.As per Ext.It is also mentioned in it that report was lodged on 22.11.1991 at 15:30 P.M. We have already discussed in preceding paras of the judgement with regard to F.I.R. being ante time and in para 23 of the judgement has found that F.I.R. is not anti-timed.The prosecution has produced the informant P.W.1 Shyam Bihari and defence was provided opportunity of cross-examination to this witness.In such circumstances, although scribe of the chik F.I.R. and G.D. has not been produced by the prosecution and defence had no opportunity to cross-examine the scribe of the chik F.I.R. and G.D. but as prosecution has produced informant P.W.1 Shyam Bihari, who orally lodged F.I.R. Ext.Ka-1 and to prove chik F.I.R. and G.D. prosecution has also produced P.W.6 Constable Narendra Pal Singh and no question with regard to registration of F.I.R. has been put to him.38. P.W.1 Shyam Bihari in cross-examination has stated that he was also residing along with his son, separate with his deceased brother.He has also a house in Sitarganj.His son Sohan Lal was residing with him in Sitarganj.He has stated that on the day of incident at about 11:00 A.M. Ram Bahadur and Sunder Lal came at his house to call deceased Beni Ram, at that time Sunder Lal had a spade.He has also stated that Sunder Lal asked from them to measure the field as decided yesterday on which he, deceased Beni Ram and his wife Smt. Ram Rati reached lease field.He and Beni Ram were bare hand and Smt. Ram Rati had a khurpi.They reached on the field at about 11:00 A.M. and he has narrated the story of the incident.In the spot map Ext.Ka-12, his presence has been also shown by mark 2 in a circle.From his cross-examination nothing has been extracted by defence from which his presence at the time of incident can be doubted.On going through his testimony, it is also clear that the defence has not tried to clarify from him with regard to opportunity of being present in the village where the incident took place.Apart from it, it is also notable that the witness Shyam Bihari has clearly stated that he was also residing along with his son, separate with the deceased brother.In such a situation, his presence at the time of incident appears natural also.P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati also has supported the presence of Shyam Bihari at the time of incident.In view of the above discussion, on the basis of statement of informant Shyam Bihari that he has also a house in Sitarganj and he was residing along with his son separate with the deceased, his presence on the spot can't be doubted.Accordingly, we find no substance in the contention of learned counsel for the appellants that presence of informant Shyam Bihari at the time of incident is doubtful.It is true that P.W.1 Shyam Bihari in his cross-examination has stated that he does not know what share and in which side the accused Sunder Lal had to get in the lease land but in cross-examination itself he has stated that in between field of Beni Ram and accused Sunder Lal field of Siya Ram, Damodar Lal, Ram Gopal and Pancham Rai are adjoining to each other.In cross-examination he has also stated that he did not go in the panchayat.It is case of prosecution that land was allotted to the deceased on lease and prosecution evidence in this regard is intact.Thus, in view of his statement that he did not go in the panchayat, on the basis of statement of informant Shyam Bihari that he does not know what share and which side accused Sunder Lal had to get, no any adverse inference against prosecution can be derived.40. P.W.1 Shyam Bihari has stated that after reaching the field accused assembled and grappled his brother and fallen down him.P.W.2 Smt. Ram Rati has stated that on reaching the field marking for partition were made, talks took place between them near about half an hour was spent in the field and when her husband sat to smoke chilam incident took place.P.W.5 Investigating Officer Gyan Singh in cross-examination has stated that he did not find chilam or spread tobacco on the place of incident.As per recovery memo Ext.Ka-13 a rope of mooz and jute, a spade, a log of wood and an old towel by which both legs of the deceased alleged to have been tied have been recovered by P.W.5 Gyan Singh Investigating Officer but chilam and tobacco were not recovered by him.If really it was a fact that deceased Beni Ram putting chilam in his mouth as tried to smoke accused persons caused the incident, then certainly chilam and tobacco should have been there and found by the I.O. but it was not so.Apart from it her statement itself appears inherently contradictory as she has stated that firstly Ram Bahadur fallen down the deceased, Ram Bahadur and Ram Shankar tied his legs, Ram Bharosey caught the hand, Sunder Lal cut neck by spade and Ram Chander inflicted spear injury in the stomach.In Ext.Ka-1 the first information report which has been made just after the incident, it is mentioned that when informant Shyam Bihari, deceased Beni Ram and Smt. Ram Rati reached the field accused Ram Chander, Ram Shankar and Ram Bharosey also met there and accused Sunder Lal, Ram Bahadur, Ram Chander Ram Shankar and Ram Bharosey fallen down his brother Beni Ram and tied legs of his brother Beni Ram, Ram Bahadur pressed legs of his brother, Ram Bharosey and Ram Shankar caught his both hand, Sunder Lal by spade and Ram Chander by spear started jabbing stating to kill him.Sunder Lal cut neck of his brother by spade and Ram Chander gave spear blow on stomach.This version has been supported by P.W.1 Shyam Bihari through his testimony also and from his cross-examination nothing has been extracted, so as to doubt his testimony.It appears that Smt. Ram Rati being a rustic and illiterate lady and her statement also has been recorded after a lapse of six years from the date of incident as held by Hon'ble Supreme Court in Prabhu Dayal v/s State of Rajasthan (2018) e SCC 517 has exaggerated the prosecution story with regard to digging of places for demarcation thereafter sitting the deceased on earth put chilam in his mouth and as he tried to smoke the incident was caused and as discussed in para 31 of the judgement in order to save deceased her forefinger was also not cut off but in material particulars of prosecution case, her testimony like allotment of land on lease to her husband, claim by accused Sunder Lal in the lease land, matter being decided by village head Ram Chander @ Munendra in the evening of the past night, coming of accused Sunder Lal to call the deceased, going on the lease land of deceased Beni R",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ informant Shyam Bihari and herself, tying leg of the deceased by accused Ram Bahadur, causing spade injury on the neck by accused Sunder Lal and spear injury on the stomach by accused Ram Chander is intact.As such on reading her statement as whole core of the case is not shaken and appears to have a ring of truth, as such on the basis of her statement that on reaching the field marking for partition were made, talks took place, her husband sat and as he tried to smoke chilam, incident was caused and in saving deceased her forefinger was cut, her whole statement can't be discarded.Accused Ram Bahadur pressed legs of the deceased Beni Ram, Ram Bharosey and Ram Shankar caught hold his both hands.Sunder Lal cut the neck of Beni Ram and Ram Chander gave spear blow on the stomach which is supported by the post-mortem report Ext.Ka.2 proved by P.W.3 Dr. A.K. Sharma.As per post-mortem report as a result of stomach injury intestine of the deceased came out.Over the neck three incised injuries, on right shoulder two incised injuries and one incised injury chest cavity deep over the angle of right scapula have been found.Causing spade injury on the neck and spear injury on the stomach as found in Ext.Ka-2 post-mortem report in the condition of hands being caught by two accused and legs by one accused is possible one.Pressing legs of deceased by one accused, catching hold of both hands by two accused and causing spade and spear injury by two accused indicates that all the accused shared common intention in perpetration of crime.Testimony of P.W.1 Shyam Bihari with regard to going of accused persons through the bank of river is corroborated by spot map Ext.Ka-13 as such prosecution evidence in this regard also is consistent, corroborated and reliable.The facts, circumstances and the observation of five cases referred by learned counsel for the appellants Sri Apul Mishra are follows.In the case of Balwantbhai B. Patel vs. State of Gujarat and another, it has been stated that on 30th November 1993, at about 9 p.m., Ghulam Hussain Ansari, Sagir Ahmed Ansari, since deceased, Gyasuddin Ahmed Ansari and Kitabuddin Ansari were sitting at their house in Falia, District Bharuch, when the three accused Thakorbhai Somabhai, Jagdishbhai Nanjibhai Patel and Balwantbhai Patel, the present appellant, arrived at that place in a drunken condition.They abused Sagir Ahmed Ansari and others sitting there and when they objected, Thakorbhai inflicted a knife blow in the abdomen of Sagir Ahmed and another knife blow on the left side of his head.Gyasuddin Ansari and Kitabuddin Ansari intervened so as to rescue Sagir Ahmed whereupon Balwantbhai, the present appellant, caught hold Gyasuddin and Jagdishbhai inflicted a blow on his head with an axe.The appellant thereafter ran away hurling abuses on the other side.Sagir Ahmed died soon after he reached the Civil hospital.The trial court convicted all the accused and judgement of the trial court was confirmed in appeal by the High Court.In the appeal it was contended that the appellants herein had caught hold of Gyasuddin Ahmed Ansari, PW which had enabled Jagdishbhai, the co-accused, to cause a simple injury on him.It was pointed out that the injury report of Gyasuddin Ahmed Ansari was not on record which clearly falsified the prosecution story.It was also submitted that, in any case," the story of catching hold of a witness or of a deceased or an allegation of exhortation made by an accused are invariably used to cast the net wide with respect to the incident.The Supreme Court has held as under:""""There is no evidence to show that Gyasuddin Ansari had received any injury as his injury statement is not on record.The finding", therefore, of the High Court about the appellant's presence appears to be on shaky foundations.We are also not unmindful of the fact that allegations of catching hold of an attack victim or of an exhortation are invariably made when the number of injuries on the injured party do not co-relate to the number of accused or in the alternative in an attempt to rope in as many persons as possible from the other side.In the case of Bishu Sarkar and others vs. State of West Bengal, AIR 2017 SC 1729, prosecution relied on the testimony of PW 2 Nepal Dey, PW 3 Gopal Dey and PW 5 Kanai Sharma.According to PW2 Nepal Dey, he saw accused Tarit Kundu, Sahadeb Sarkar, Sasthi Sarkar, Bishu Sarkar, Sukumar Ghosh and Paresh Sarkar and all six persons caught hold of the collar of shirt of Raju Bose and assaulted him by fist and blows......Accused Sukumar Ghosh and Paresh Sarkar gave the order to kill Raju Bose.Then accused Sasthi Sarkar, Bishu Sarkar," Sahadeb Sarkar had remained engaged in catching hold of Raju Bose.Accused Tarit Kundu gave a blow on the back of Raju Bose with the help of a sharp-cutting weapon like ''bhojali'.The Hon'ble Supreme Court held as under:""""It is true that PWs 2 and 5 assert that the present appellants had caught hold of Raju Bose.But it is not clear from the record whether such act was so intended to enable accused No.1 to deal the fatal blow.Further"," PW 3 is completely silent on this aspect.In the circumstances we deem it appropriate to grant benefit of doubt to the present appellants and acquit them of the charge under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC.""""In the case of Gaya Yadav and others vs. State of Bihar and others", AIR 2003 SC 1759, accused Gaya Yadav belonged to neighbouring village Kurkut Bigha and came to the deceased Jagannath Singh," Mukhiya of Mau Gram Panchayat in Mau Bazar and requested the deceased for supper for the night in his village on the occasion of """"Holika Dahan"""".The deceased was reluctant to accept the invitation.At this time the accused Karu Yadav", who is also of the village Kurkut Bigha arrived there and both the accused insisted upon Mukhiya for the supper.The deceased succumbed to the request of the accused, P.W.3 Lallan Bihari the informant also accompanied him," as they made their way out of Mau village P.W.3 saw 9-10 persons coming from the opposite direction.P.W.3 thought that these persons might be going somewhere on the occasion of """"Holika Dahan"""".Soon those persons came closer to them and the accused Gaya Yadav and Karu Yadav gave a push to the deceased Mukhiya and thereafter all other accused persons surrounded him.Out of them he could recognize Bhagat Yadav", Mukhiya Yadav, Madeshwar Yadav, Rahish Yadav, Deo Prasad Yadav and Khalitra Yadav.Having seen the accused surrounding the deceased the informant retreated about 10-15 steps backward and thought that the accused persons would leave the deceased Mukhiya but instead accused Khalitrar Yadav and Rahish Yadav caught hold of Mukhiya and accused Gaya Yadav and Bhagat Yadav fired at him from country made pistol.Thereupon, Mukhiya fell down.Thereafter, the accused Mukhiya Yadav who was armed with pausli bent over Mukhiya as if he was cutting the neck of Mukhiya.Simultaneously, all of them were uttering that Mukhiya should not survive.P.W.3 Lallan Bihari, informant during trial deposed that he went back 4 or 6 steps from where he saw that Rahish Yadav and Khalitra Yadav were catching hold the two arms of the deceased and the accused Gaya Yadav and Bhagwat Yadav each fired a shot from the pistol at the deceased who fell down.Thereafter," the accused Mukhiya Yadav began to cut the neck of Mukhiya by pausli.The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held as under:""""So far as A-2 Madheshwar Yadav", A-3 Khalitra Yadav and A-4 Rahish Yadav are concerned, there is no evidence to show that they have shared the common intention to murder the deceased.No overt act has also been attributed to them.Therefore, the prosecution has failed to establish its case against them for the offence under Sections 302/34 I.P.C. beyond reasonable doubts.Their appeal is, accordingly," allowed.""""on account of the same there was ill feeling between the two groups and on the date of occurrence on 22nd September", 1990 at 8:00 P.M. when one Natarajan was coughing on account of his fever the accused No.1 was passing by that road on his scooter.Shortly thereafter at 10:00 P.M. the complainant PW1 and the deceased - Mohan were returning from a theatre and when they had reached the house of one V. Murli the five accused persons formed themselves into an unlawful assembly and attacked the complainant and the deceased with deadly weapons.PW-1 then raised an alarm and on hearing the cries his relatives including Sekhar who is the other deceased came out of their houses and rushed towards Mohan.The five accused persons then also attacked these people and while accused No.3 caught hold of Sekhar, accused No.2 stabbed him with knife on his abdomen and caused fatal injury.These accused persons more particularly accused Mukhiya and 6 hurled stones which caused injury to the member of the complainant group.Accused No.1 also stabbed one Ravi Kumar with a knife on his left elbow," as a result of which said Ravi Kumar was injured.The injured persons were taken to the hospital for treatment and Mohan died during the midnight on account of shock and haemorrhage as a result of the injuries sustained by him.The Hon'ble Supreme Court held as under:""""We find considerable force in the submission of Mr. Parasaran", the learned senior counsel for the appellants, that prosecution has not explained the grievous injury on the head of accused-appellant No.1 and such non-explanation persuades us to draw an inference that the prosecution has not presented the true version at least so far as the role played by accused appellant No.1 and the witnesses who have been examined and who have ascribed a positive role to the appellant No.1 that he caught hold of Mohan when appellant No.1 stabbed Mohan are not true on material point and their evidence thus has become vulnerable.It has been also held that Mr. Parasaran is right in his submission that the witnesses ascribed the role of catching hold of Mohan by accused No.1 and role of caching hold of Sekhar by accused No.3 and the High Court gave the benefit to accused No.3 since the witnesses had not narrated the same to the police when examination under under Section 161 Cr.P.C. took place and therefore the self same infirmities having crept in when the prosecution witnesses stated about catching hold of Mohan by accused No.1, the said accused No.1 is entitled to the benefit of doubt.In fact as stated earlier Mrs. Amreshwari, the learned senior counsel appearing for the State also fairly stated that possibly it would be difficult to sustain the conviction of accused No.1 when the accused No.3 has got benefit of doubt and has been acquitted and no appeal against the said order of acquittal has been filed by the State.On account of such infirmities the prosecution as indicated above and more particularly when the prosecution has failed to offer any explanation for the grievous injuries sustained by accused No.1 on his head and the High Court has already found that the said injury was caused in course of the incident," we have no hesitation to hold that the accused-appellant No.1 D.V. Shanmugam is entitled to the benefit of doubt and accordingly set aside the conviction and sentence of the said accused- appellant No.1 both under Section 302/34 IPC as well as under Section 324 I.P.C.""""In the case of Sushil vs. State of U.P.", 1994 Law Suit Supreme Court 995, it has been stated that a day earlier to the occurrence there was an altercation between the deceased Jai Prakash and the appellants when the appellants had threatened to kill him.On 15th August, 1982 at about 5:45 A.M. the deceased Jai Prakash along with his uncle Hoshiyara PW 2 had gone to the jungle close by to their village to answer the call of nature.At about 6:30 A.M. after they had eased themselves, Hoshiyara cleaned his hands and when the deceased Jai Prakash was cleaning his hands it is at that point of time the accused Sushil, Tapeshwar and Ram Niwas arrived there.The accused/appellant Tapeshwar caught hold the hands of the deceased Jai Prakash, Ram Niwas attacked with a knife in the abdomen and stomach while Sushil gave knife blows on the waist and knee.When Hoshiyara saw this assault on Jai Prakash he raised hue and cry.The witnessess Charan Singh PW 3," Chandermal PW 4 and Dharampal PW 5 rushed there.The three assailants named above ran away from the place of occurrence after assailing Jai Prakash.The Hon'ble Supreme Court has held as under:""""The appellant Tapeshwar was not armed with any weapon nor he is alleged to have made any assault on the deceased.There is no evidence that Tapeshwar was aware of the fact that the co-accused Sushil and Ram Niwas were armed with knives which may be used by them in the crime.The prosecution evidence is also silent on the point whether these two accused took out the knives suddenly with or without the knowledge of Tapeshwar or came with knives openly and visibly and inflicted knife injuries to the victim.In these facts and circumstances", it is difficult to say with certainty as to what extent, if at all, the appellant Tapeshwar shared the common intention with the other two appellants Sushil and Ram Niwas.In view of the opinion of Hon'ble Supreme Court expressed in Ramesh Singh @ Photti v/s State of A.P. and Ashif Khan v/s State of Maharashtra and another (supra), the acts and conducts of the appellants no.2, 3 and 4 in the instant case as mentioned in para 51 of the judgement prior to the incident, like going of accused Sunder Lal and Ram Bahadur to call the deceased for measurement as decided in the evening of past night, on reaching the deceased and witnesses meeting of all the accused persons on the place of incident situated in a remote area on the bank of the river, falling down the deceased by the accused persons thereafter tying both legs of the deceased and pressing legs by accused Ram Bahadur catching hold both hands by accused Ram Bharosey and Ram Shankar inflicting spade and spear injuries, seven in number by Sunder Lal and Ram Chander respectively, making no effort by any accused to save the deceased, after the incident going away together of all accused through the bank of river indicates that all accused persons had shared the common intention in killing the deceased Beni Ram.The accused in their statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. have stated that witnesses have deposed against them due to enmity but what was the enmity, it has not been explained by them.Since, Sunder Lal (died during trial) was claiming land in the lease land of the deceased, so with regard to him it may be said that witnesses of fact had enmity but so far as appellants are concerned, there is no material on record to draw such an inference.Without any explanation or evidence it cannot be accepted that there was enmity between the deceased and accused persons and witnesses of fact deposed against them due to enmity.Therefore, on the basis of their statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C., it cannot be accepted that accused persons have been falsely implicated and witnesses deposed against them due to enmity and appellant Ram Chander to undergo two years rigorous imprisonment under Section 148 I.P.C.Thus, upon a wholesome consideration of the facts of the case, attending circumstances and the evidence on record, we do not find that the learned trial Judge committed any illegality or legal infirmity in convicting and sentencing appellants Ram Chander, Ram Shankar, Ram Bharosey and Ram Bahadur each to undergo life imprisonment and fine of Rs.2,000/- under Section 302 read with Section 149 I.P.C., in default of fine six 6 months additional imprisonment, appellants Ram Shankar, Ram Bharosey and Ram Bahadur to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment under Section 147 I.P.C. and appellant Ram Chander to undergo two years rigorous imprisonment under Section 148 I.P.C.This appeal lacks merit and is accordingly," dismissed.The C.J.M. concerned shall send his report with regard to the accused-respondents within one month thereafter.The lower court record shall

Sudershan Pal had gone to the house of the appellant to collect Rs.20,000/- Crl.A.No.674/2007 Page 2 of 10 which she had loaned to the mother of the appellant.A.No.674/2007 Page 2 of 10Case of the prosecution is that the deceased had loaned Rs.20,000/- to Sumitra, the mother of the appellant, and on 17.2.2001 had gone to the house of the appellant to receive back the said money.Needless to state, the mother of the appellant was residing with him.Since the deceased did not return home till late afternoon, hence her son and her daughter- in-law were naturally alarmed.Harish Pahuja the son of the deceased and his friend Parminder Singh went to the house of the appellant but found the same locked.Since the deceased did not return home and could not be located even by late evening, the son i.e. Harish Pahuja lodged a missing person's complaint, Ex.PW-10/A, informing that his mother had gone to the house of the appellant.This led the police to track down the appellant and his mother.Since their house was locked, from the neighbours they learnt that a daughter of the appellant was married and was residing some where at Tughlak Road, New Delhi.The police located the house of the daughter of the appellant, where they met Deepa, the youngest daughter of the appellant, then aged about 8-9 years, who informed the police Crl.A.No.674/2007 Page 3 of 10 that the deceased had come to their house at 5628/78, Regar Pura, Karol Bagh and had demanded Rs.20,000/- from her grandmother.Her grandmother did not pay the money.The deceased bit her grand-mother and on seeing this her father got enraged and picked up an iron rod and repeatedly hit the deceased on the face and the skull.That the deceased died.That her father and her grand-mother cleaned the blood stains from the floor and put the body inside a trunk and put the trunk in the kitchen.She was sent to the house of her sister.Her father and her grandmother went away.A.No.674/2007 Page 3 of 10On the basis of the said statement, Ex.PW-2/A, made by Deepa, the police went to the house of the appellant.Indeed, from the kitchen, a trunk was found and on it being opened, the dead body of the deceased was recovered.After the appellant was apprehended he made a disclosure statement and got recovered the weapon of offence which he had used to inflict injuries on the deceased.We note that Deepa who was examined as PW-2 turned hostile and refused having made any statement to the police.A.No.674/2007 Page 4 of 10A.No.674/2007 Page 4 of 10Indeed, learned counsel for the appellant has, after making very feverish submissions on merits, restricted Crl.The deposition of young Deepa in Court is belied from the fact that when her grand-mother, who was also apprehended, was sent for medical examination, as per MLC Ex.PW-20/A the doctor noted that she had a bite mark on the under-side of the left arm and bruises on the arm.Sumitra, the grand-mother of Deepa has not explained the said bite mark injury on her fore-arm and this gives credence to the statement made by Deepa which ultimately led the police to recover the dead body of the deceased from the house of the appellant.Indeed, in view of the afore-noted over whelming evidence, coupled with the fact that the injuries on the body of the deceased being 12 in number, as per the MLC Ex.PW-8/A; injuries being fatal and by no stretch of imagination can any one argue that he who inflicts said injury does not intend to cause the death of the victim, learned counsel did not venture much into the evidence.The 12 injuries on the deceased are as under:-""1. CLW 11 x 2 x bone deep cms over left side forehead starting from the outer end of the left eyebrow going upwards, outwards and backwards upto a point 4 cms above the top of left ear pinna.A.No.674/2007 Page 5 of 10CLW stellate shape shaped 3 x 1.5 x bone deep cm over middle of forehead, 0.5 cm above the root of the nose.CLW 5.1.8 x bone deep cm obliquely placed over right side forehead 1.2 cm above the right eyebrow.CLW 2.5 x 0.7 x bone deep cm over right side face 2 cm left in front of right ear.CLW 1 x 0.3 x bone deep cm over left side chin 1 cm left to mid line.Flapping of the skin margin present.Flapping of the skin margin present.CLW 6.8 x 1.9 x bone deep cm over right temporal region 4 cm behind the lower end of injury no.9.""A.No.674/2007 Page 6 of 10Indeed, the weapon of offence has been recovered pursuant to the disclosure statement of the appellant and on his pointing out.Learned counsel for the appellant urges that the evidence establishes that the deceased bit the mother of the appellant who was aged 85 years.At that, the appellant attacked the victim.A.No.674/2007 Page 7 of 10","['Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Lacerated injury over the left forearm 1 "" x "" x "" plus 1"" x "" x "".3. Lacerated injury over the right forearm 1 "" x "" x "".He further deposed that the victim was conscious when he examined him.He stated that he was assaulted by Kana Pandit, Kamala Mondal, Bimala Mondal, Jalal Mondal, Rajballav Singh and nephew of Kana Pandit on 1.4.85 at about 9.30 P.M. with bamboo, heavy sharp instrument (nepala).He also examined Parbati Debi (P.W. 3) and found the following injuries :1. Lacerated injury over the scalp 1 "" x "" x 1"".Swelling and tenderness on left forearm.In cross-examination, he stated that lacerated injury can also be caused by sword.P.

W. 11 is a neighbour, who was, however, declared hostile.P. W. 12 is the Investigating Officer of the case, who submitted the charge sheet.It is the evidence of P.W. 1 that the blunt side of the sword was used.He further submitted that independent witness, P. W. 11 has not supported the prosecution case.He, accordingly, prayed that the conviction to be set aside.Mr. Ghosh, learned Counsel appearing for the State submitted that the evidence of injured witnesses were consistent and is supported by medical evidence.Under such circumstances, no corroboration is necessary to bring home the guilt of the accused/appellants.He prayed for dismissal of the appeal.It is true that they are relations of the injured witnesses.Furthermore, the names of the appellants transpired as assailants at the earliest opportunity before the Medical Officer, namely, P. W. 8 as recorded in the injury report.Hence, I do not find any reason to disbelieve the injured witnesses whose ocular version is corroborated by the medical evidence merely on the ground that the same is not corroborated by independent witnesses.Corroboration by independent witness is not a rule of law but a rule of prudence and caution.If the evidence of the injured witnesses are unequivocal, consistent and is corroborated by medical evidence, there is no reason to disbelieve them merely on the ground of lack of corroboration.It is true that P. W. 6 in cross-examination claimed that he did not see anyone apart from appellant no.1 and his nephew at the place of occurrence.However, one ought not lose sight of the fact that he was not inside the house of P.W. 3 where the incident occurred but P. W. 6 had seen the incident from a distance when he was fetching water and it is possible that he was unable to notice the presence of all the assistants at the place of occurrence.Accordingly, I am of the opinion that the incident as portrayed by the prosecution has been proved beyond reasonable doubt.Hence, the intention to kill P.W. 1 is not evident in the facts of the case.Accordingly, I alter the conviction of appellant no.1 from Section 307 IPC to 326 IPC.In view of the aforesaid discussion, I maintain the conviction of the appellants under Section 148 IPC.Coming to the sentence I find that the incident had occurred four decades ago.The appellants do not have any criminal antecedent.Accordingly, I reduce the sentence imposed on the appellants for commission of offence punishable under Section 148 IPC and direct that they shall suffer imprisonment for a period already undergone and pay a fine of Rs.200/-, in default to suffer rigorous imprisonment for seven days more.With regard to the conviction under Section 326/34 IPC, I direct the appellant no.1, who is the principal assailant upon P.W. 3, shall suffer rigorous imprisonment for six months and shall pay a fine of Rs.200/-, in default, to suffer rigorous imprisonment for fifteen days more and the appellant nos.2 to 4 herein shall suffer rigorous imprisonment for three months and shall pay a fine of Rs.200/- each, in default, to suffer rigorous imprisonment for seven days.All the sentences shall run concurrently.Let a copy of this judgment along with LCR be sent down to the trial court at once for compliance and execution of the sentence in accordance with law.The appeal stands disposed of.Urgent Photostat Certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied expeditiously after complying with all necessary legal formalities.(Joymalya Bagchi, J.)

+"No.23 of 1998 whereby the appellants were convicted for offences punishable under Sections 304 (Part II) of I.P.C or 304 (Part II) read with Section 34 of I.P.C and sentenced for seven years rigorous imprisonment.The prosecution's case, in short, is that on 18.7.1997 the deceased Ramratan along with his son Keshav (PW3) went to plough the field situated at Village Dani (Police Station Gudh, District Rewa).There was a dispute relating to ownership and possession of that particular field with the appellants and therefore, the appellants along with one Sukhlal came to the spot and stopped the complainant/deceased to work on the fields.The 2 Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999 appellants were armed with the sticks and therefore, the deceased Ramratan and Keshav left the field and went back to the village.On the way the appellants Ram Dutt, Sudarshan, Manoj alias Chottan Mishra restrained the deceased and assaulted the deceased Ramratan and his son Keshav with sticks.Both the injured persons fell upon the earth.On their shouting Chhotelal (PW4), Chandrakali (PW1) and Ishwari etc. came to the spot.They took the injured persons to the Village Dani.Thereafter, the deceased Ramratan was taken to the Police Station Gudh where he lodged an FIR Ex.All the injured persons were sent to Government Hospital Rewa for their medico legal examination and treatment.Dr. M. K. Tiwari (PW6) after examining the victims Ramratan and Keshav gave his reports Ex.P/6 and P/7 respectively.He found swelling and tenderness on the left hand of Ramratan and bony cervix sound was also there at the first metacarpal bone in his hand.No other injury was found on him whereas, Keshav sustained 4-5 injuries caused by hard and blunt objects on his chest, back, left side of the head, fore arm, right knee and other places of the body.Both the patients were admitted in the hospital and Ramratan was referred for his X-Ray examination.Dr. Atul Singh (PW7) examined the victim Ramratan radiologically and gave his report Ex.(Delivered on the 10th day of October, 2012) The appellants have preferred this appeal against the judgment dated 10.3.1999 passed by the IInd Additional Sessions Judge, Rewa in ST.He found a fracture in his first metacarpal bone.Again the victim Ramratan was referred for radiological examination on 22.7.1997 and a fracture was found in his head.Panchayatnama lash Ex.P/25 was prepared of the deceased and body of the deceased Ramratan was sent for post mortem.Dr. B. K. Sharma (PW10) did the post mortem on the body of the deceased Ramratan and found that he died due to complications of head injury.After due investigation a charge sheet was filed before the JMFC, Rewa who, committed the case to the Court of Sessions Judge, Rewa and ultimately it was transferred to the IInd Additional Sessions Judge, Rewa.The appellants abjured their guilt.They did not take any specific plea in the case but, they have stated that they were falsely implicated in the matter.In defence Shivendra Kumar Agnihotri (DW1) and Baijnath Tiwari (DW2) were examined to prove the alibi of accused Manoj and Surendra Prasad Mishra (DW3) was examined to prove the alibi of the accused Sukhlal .After considering the evidence adduced by the parties the learned Additional Sessions Judge acquitted the other accused persons from all the charges.The appellants were also acquitted from the charges of offences punishable under Section 307, 302, 341, 294, 323 and 506-B of I.P.C but the appellants Ram Dutt, Sudarshan, Manoj @ Chottan Mishra were convicted for offences punishable under Section 304 (Part II) read with Section 34 of I.P.C whereas, the applicant Mola was convicted for the offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) of I.P.C and all of them were sentenced for 7 years rigorous imprisonment.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties.Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999The learned counsel for the appellants have submitted that the evidence of the various eye witnesses may be perused.They did not support the prosecution story.The learned Additional Sessions Judge convicted the appellants on the basis of the FIR lodged by the deceased Ramratan considering it as a dying declaration.The learned Additional Sessions Judge was confused about the overt act of the appellants as an individual.While convicting the appellants the learned Additional Sessions Judge convicted them for offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) read with section 34 of I.P.C, whereas at the time of granting the sentence he sentenced the appellant Mola for offence punishable under section 304 (Part II) read with Section 34 of I.P.C, whereas the remaining appellants were sentenced for offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) of I.P.C. There was no overt act specifically mentioned in the FIR as to who had caused the head injury to the deceased Ramratan and therefore, no accused could be convicted for main offence of Section 304 (Part II) of the I.P.C. It is also submitted that FIR was not at all a dying declaration in the eyes of law.In support of his contention the learned counsel for the appellants placed his reliance upon the judgments passed by Hon'ble the Apex Court in the case of ""Sukhar Vs.Under such 5 Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999 circumstances, such FIR cannot be believed.To disbelieve the FIR (dying declaration) the learned counsel for the appellant placed his reliance upon the judgment of Hon'ble the Apex Court in the case of ""Maniram Vs.After considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case it is to be considered as to whether the appeal filed by the appellants can be accepted ? And whether the sentence directed against the appellants can be reduced ?The present case is a peculiar case in which Keshav (PW3) son of the deceased Ramratan, an injured witness, turned hostile.Chandrakali (PW1), Keshav (PW3) and Chhotelal (PW4) were examined as eye witnesses who turned hostile.They simply stated that they saw the victim Ramratan lying injured on the earth.Ramratan was taken to the Police Station Gudh where he had lodged an FIR Ex.The incident took place on 18.7.1997 and Ramratan expired after that incident.There is no allegation that the mental condition of the deceased Ramratan was not sound and therefore, the FIR which was lodged within reasonable time 6 Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999 after the incident and proved by the Head Constable Shiv Pratap Singh (PW8) is acceptable.Dr. M.K. Tiwari (PW6) examined the victim Ramratan and Keshav and found the corresponding injuries as mentioned in the FIR.Initially one visible injury was found on the victim Ramratan which was in his fingers of left hand.No visible injury was found on his head.Though symptoms of vomiting etc. were not reiterated then on 22.7.1997 a second X- Ray was done to the victim Ramratan and Dr. Atul Singh (PW7) gave his report Ex.He found that the victim Ramratan sustained a fracture in the fronto parietal region of the skull corresponding to parietal border at orbit.By that discovery it was found that victim Keshav sustained some injuries on his head.The deceased Keshav died after some time due to complications which arose in his head injury and when, the injuries were not of such nature so that they were sufficient to cause his death initially, therefore, it was rightly observed by the trial Court that the culprits who, assaulted the deceased Ramratan were guilty of offence punishable under section 304 (Part II) of I.P.C and not guilty of offence punishable under Section 302 of I.P.C.The prime question is about the culprit who assaulted the deceased or participated with the common intention.It is no where clear in the judgment of the learned Additional Sessions Judge that how he selected the culprits for conviction.In the FIR Ex.P/13 it was stated that the deceased Ramratan and Keshav ran from the spot and thereafter Ram Dutt and Manoj restrained the 7 Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999 victim and assaulted them.It is no where mentioned in the FIR that the appellant Mola had also participated in the assault but the learned Additional Sessions Judge convicted the appellant Mola without any basis.In the present case when the FIR was recorded there was no possibility of death of the deceased Ramratan and FIR was written in a routine manner therefore, it cannot be said that the FIR cannot be treated as a dying declaration under Section 32 of the Evidence Act.The FIR Ex.P/13 is the only evidence against the appellants in the present case and therefore, it should be observed as to whether the dying declaration given by the deceased by way of FIR is trustworthy or not.The dying declaration have various qualities.It should be clear and it should allege against the culprits with some clarity.In this case initially six accused persons were prosecuted.The deceased Ramratan in the FIR Ex.P/13 made omnibus statements against three persons viz. Ram Dutt, Sudarshan and Manoj that they assaulted him.The deceased sustained only two injuries.One was there on his fingers and another was on his head.His head injury was so peculiar that no visible injury was found on his head.It could be located after four days of the incident when radiological examination of his head was done.Dr. B. K. Sharma (PW10) has informed that the deceased was 70 years old man who lost his resistance.At such an age various bones of the body turn brittle and therefore, one stroke on the head could cause several 9 Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999 fractures in the head.Under such circumstances, it cannot be accepted that more than one stroke was given on the head.If more than one stoke was given on the head then there must be some visible injury on his head and he must be in coma from the very beginning but, the deceased Ramratan was conscious at the time of lodging the FIR.During the MLC examination neither he complained about his injury on his head nor the doctor found such an injury.Under such circumstances, it is also possible that he sustained the head injury later on and therefore, it cannot be said that initially he sustained more than two stroke on his body.The deceased Ramratan had alleged in the FIR Ex.P/13 that three persons had assaulted him and his son.It is an omnibus allegation against the culprits.He did not make any specific allegation that out of those culprits who assaulted upon him.The culprit who gave a stroke on his head was mainly responsible for the offences punishable under Section 304 (Part II) of the I.P.C and a culprit who, assaulted the deceased Ramratan on his hand could be convicted for offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) of I.P.C due to his common intention but, a person who did not assault the victim Ramratan could not be convicted for offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) of I.P.C either directly or on the basis of Section 34 of I.P.C because there was nothing on record to say that he had any common intention with the main accused and therefore, the learned Additional Sessions Judge acquitted the two accused persons on 10 Criminal Appeal No.730 of 1999 this count.If only two persons had assaulted the deceased Ramratan out of these appellants, it is clear from FIR Ex.P/13 that there is no allegation upon the appellant Mola that he assaulted the deceased Ramratan and therefore, his common intention cannot be presumed with other co-accused persons.Similarly out of the remaining three appellants viz. Ram Dutt, Sudarshan and Manoj one person appears to be innocent, who did not participate in the crime.It is possible that he had assaulted the victim Keshav but, by such an act it cannot be said that he had any common intention with the other co-accused persons who assaulted the deceased Ramratan.If the omnibus allegations in the FIR Ex.P/13 are accepted then it would be injustice to one of the appellant who, did not participate in the crime and when the appellant in not isolated in the case then it is possible that he could be either Ram Dutt, Sudarshan or Manoj.In such circumstances, the FIR Ex.P/13 the dying declaration of the deceased Ramratan is not specific and clear by which any conviction can be drawn against any specific appellant.Under such circumstances, it would be risky to convict all the three persons for the offences whereas only two persons had participated in the crime done against the deceased Ramratan. 11Under such circumstances, none of the appellants could be convicted for offence punishable under Section 304 (Part II) of I.P.C or any inferior offence of the similar nature either directly or with the help of Section 34 of I.P.C. The learned Additional Sessions Judge erred in convicting the appellants for offence punishable under section 304 Part II read with Section 34 of I.P.C.On the basis of the aforesaid discussion the appeal filed by the appellants appears to be acceptable and therefore, it is accepted.(N.K.GUPTA) JUDGE 10.10.2012 bina","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 341 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Anandgaonkar, the then J.M.F.C., passed the order dated 14/11/1997 allowing the maintenance application.That order was challenged by the petitioner in Criminal Revision Application No. 222/1997 before the Sessions Court, Kolhapur contending that the learned Magistrate had not made proper inquiry about the various aspects.That revision application was allowed by order dated 16/1/2001 and the maintenance application was remanded back to the J.M.F.C., Ichalkaranji for fresh inquiry.After fresh inquiry respondent No. 2 Mr. G.G. Bhansali passed the order dated 4/4/2003 granting maintenance to the wife and the children.The petitioner filed a complaint against respondent Nos. 1 to 3 for the offence punishable under Sections 219 and 220 of I.P.C. in the Court of J.M.F.C., Ichalkaranji on 24/11/2004, which was registered as M.A. Application No. 312/2004 and the matter was put up for arguments on the point of maintainability of such a complaint.After hearing the petitioner and after going through the relevant provisions of law, the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ichalkaranji, dismissed the Revision Application with costs of Rs. 5000/-.The petitioner has filed this writ petition challenging the dismissal of his complaint by the Courts below.However, that order was set aside by the Additional Sessions Judge in Revision Application No. 222/1997 and the matter was remanded back to the trial Court.After remand respondent No. 2, while discharging his duties, as Judicial officer, considered the evidence led by both the parties and passed the order of the maintenance against the petitioner.The learned Additional Sessions Judge directed the petitioner to pay costs of Rs. 5000/- in view of his conduct in filing the complaint against the Judicial officer in respect of judicial orders passed by them.The learned Additional Sessions Judge has also observed that the petitioner had not only made the complaint against the Judicial Officers but he had also made the allegations against several advocates, who were appointed by him from time to time, for not performing their duties in proper manner.The learned Additional Sessions Judge noted as follows:This conduct of the complainant should not be taken lightly and while dismissing this revision, heavy costs of Rs. 5000/- payable to the State deserves to be imposed against the complainant."" These observations made by the learned Additional Sessions Judge are perfectly justified.Such practice of making wild allegations against judicial officers only because they had passed certain orders against the particular party needs to be deprecated strongly.",['Section 190 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Subsequently, the appellant was heard on the question of sentence and by an order dated 5th March, 2002, he was sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life.The deceased, Laxmi Kanta, was an employee with the Central Reserve Police Force (for short the CRPF).On 23rd October, 1996, police station Najafgarh received intimation that a woman was burning in Naveen Place Colony, Jharoda Road, Najafgarh, New Delhi.The report indicated that the woman was an employee of the CRPF.On receipt of the information, the police went to the spot and came to know that the woman, Laxmi Kanta, had been removed to the CRPF Base Hospital in a police van.When the police reached the CRPF Base Hospital, they came to know that she had been referred to Safdarjung Hospital.It appears that in the meanwhile, Laxmi Kanta had informed the doctor in CRPF Base Hospital that her husband, Jaya Kumar Nair, the appellant had poured kerosene oil on her and set her on fire.She gave similar information to her Commanding Officer who had come to see her in the Base Hospital.The police reached Safdarjung Hospital and made inquiries from the doctor on duty and were informed that the deceased was fit to make a statement.Accordingly, the Investigating Officer Constable Vinod Kumar recorded her statement in which she stated that her husband had poured kerosene oil on her and lit a matchstick and threw it on her as a result of which her saree caught fire.The Police then completed their investigations and a challan under Section 173 of the Code of Criminal Procedure; (for short Cr.PC) was filed.On 7th May, 1997, the following charge was framed against the appellant-That on 23-10-1996 at 9 p.m. Navin Place Colony near Kali Payau, Najafgarh, Jharoda Road, New Delhi, within the jurisdiction of PS Najafgarh, you had committed murder of Ms. Laxmi Kanta and thereby committed an offence punishable Under Section 302 IPC, within my cognizance.The accused pleaded not guilty and accordingly a trial was held.The appellant did not lead any evidence in his defense.The evidence on record shows that PW-1 Anil Kumar who was neighbour of the deceased stated that on 23rd October, 1996 he heard shouts from Laxmi Kanta.He immediately came out of his room and saw Laxmi Kanta burning.He extinguished the fire with the help of his mother and soon thereafter the police came.He stated that he did not know how Laxmi Kanta had caught fire but he pointed out the place in the open chowk (courtyard) where her burnt clothes were lying.By the impugned judgment and order, the appellant was convicted of having committed an offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (for short IPC).Significantly, he stated that the appellant was not present in the courtyard when Laxmi Kanta was on fire.PW-2 Dr. S.N. Patnayak from the CRPF Base Hospital proved the MLC Exhibit PW-2/A in which it is recorded that Laxmi Kanta had stated that her husband had poured kerosene on her body at about 9.00 pm on 23rd October, 1996 and lit it.He noted the burns on her body and after initial treatment the deceased was sent to Safdarjung Hospital for further treatment and the police informed.In his cross-examination, he stated that the deceased was fully conscious but was crying due to pain.During the first year of marriage, the couple lived happily and thereafter they began quarreling and that the appellant often demanded some money from him.This witness was declared hostile.Inspector Neeraj Tyagi who was the Officer Commanding of the deceased was examined as PW-10, He stated that he was informed about her admission to the CRPF Base Hospital and he met Laxmi Kanta and inquired as to what had happened.She told him that a quarrel had taken place between her and her husband who then burnt her.He lodged an FIR against the appellant in police station Najafgarh.The doctor on emergency duty in Safdarjung Hospital, that is, Manoj Shukla was examined as PW-13 and he certified that the deceased was competent to make a statement.He took down the statement given by Laxmi Kanta in Safdarjung Hospital (Exhibit PW 13/A).Her statement was to the effect that her husband, that is, the appellant had poured kerosene oil on her and set her on fire.Exhibit PW-5/A is the post mortem report in respect of the deceased.It shows extensive burn injuries and it has been certified that the cause of death is due to septicemia shock as a result of 55% deep infected ante mortem burns.The appellant did not lead any defense evidence but in his statement under Section 313 of the Cr.PC he stated that the allegations against him were false and fabricated.The deceased was cooking food when her clothes caught fire.He tried to save her from getting burnt and as a result he received some burn injuries on his hands.He stated that he had taken her to the hospital in a police van.He further stated that the marriage between him and the deceased was a love marriage and the parents of the deceased were not happy with the marriage and were not on speaking terms with the appellant.He stated that since it was a love marriage, there was no question of any dowry demand.Learned amices curiae, submitted that the prosecution should have investigated how and why the appellant's hands got burnt.It was submitted that the case of the appellant was that the deceased had accidentally caught fire and his hands were burnt while he was trying to extinguish the fire.We do not find any substance in this contention urged by learned Counsel.For one, it has come on record that only his right hand sustained some burn injuries.It is quite unlikely that if he was trying to extinguish the fire, he would do so with only one hand and not use both hands.Moreover, we also find from the evidence on record that the appellant was nowhere to be seen when his wife was burning in the courtyard and when PW 1 Anil Kumar and his mother tried to extinguish the fire.It is also not acceptable that the appellant had accompanied the deceased to the CRPF Base Hospital.There is nothing whatsoever to suggest this.On the contrary, Exhibit PW-2/A suggests that the deceased was brought in a van of Delhi Police to the CRPF Base Hospital.Similarly, when PW-10 Insp.Neeraj Tyagi met the deceased in the CRPF Base Hospital, there is nothing to suggest that the appellant was present nor is there anything to show that when the dying declaration was recorded in Safdarjung Hospital, the appellant was available.If on these critical moments the appellant was not found showing any concern for his wife, it is very unlikely that he would have tried to extinguish the fire, as claimed by him.In fact, the appellant visited Safdarjung Hospital only on 25th October, 1996 when he was taken there after his arrest for a medical examination.The OPD card, Exhibit C-1 shows that he did not get his burnt hand treated in any hospital prior to that date.It was also submitted by learned amices Curiae that the arrest of the appellant was made under somewhat suspicious circumstances in as much as he was allegedly waiting at a bus stop on 24th October, 1996 when he was arrested.We do not find this submission of any consequence.On the contrary, what is suspicious is that the appellant ran away from his house.There was no reason for him to do so if nothing had happened at his instance.There is no report from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (for short the CFSL) to indicate that kerosene oil was used in burning the deceased.In this regard, an effort was made to demolish the cause of death by burning on the basis of the opinion given by Dr. G. K. Chobey in the post mortem report Ex. PW-5/A as cause of death due to septicemia shock as a result of 55% deep infected ante mortem burns.But the fact remains that she made three statements before her death which can be treated as dying declarations.However, given the circumstances of (he case, it was not required for the doctor to lift the food and send it to CFSL to rule out any possibility of poisoning.Exhibit PW- 15/A1 is the death summary prepared by Dr. S. Kumar.It is clearly observed by the doctor in the death summary that the patient was admitted in Safdarjung Hospital with 55% deep burns on 23rd October, 1996 (wrongly written as 27th October, 1996) in a very critical condition.She was treated properly but her condition did not improve.She was also put on humidified oxygen inhalation but her condition did not improve and she could not be revived despite all C. P. R. measures.When an incident takes place within the four walls of a room, the prosecution ordinarily would not get any eye witness.Therefore, such cases have to be judged having regard to the entirety of the circumstances which are brought on record by the prosecution during the trial of the case.We may note that in this case the deceased had made three statements before her death.Firstly, she had stated before PW2 Dr. S. N. Patnayak in the CRPF Base Hospital that her husband had poured kerosene on her and set her on fire.Her second statement was made before PW-10 Insp.Neeraj Tyagi her Commanding Officer before whom she stated more or less the same thing and, finally also before PW-14 SI Shyam Pal Singh, Investigating Officer.We have not been pointed out any inconsistency in any of these three statements.Both PW-2 Dr. S. N. Patnayak before whom she made the first statement and PW-13 Manoj Shukla from Safdarjung Hospital were satisfied that the deceased was conscious and capable of giving the statement.There is, therefore, no reason to doubt the capability of the deceased to make the dying declaration.",['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"A.No.219/1996 Page 1 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 1 of 19Briefly put, case of the prosecution is that in the aftermath of the assassination of the Prime Minister Smt. Indira Gandhi, violent anti-Sikh riots erupted in Delhi, which continued for a few days from 31.10.1984 onwards.On 02.11.84, at around 5:30 pm, a telephonic information was received at Police Station Kalyan Puri through Inspector Rajesh of PCR that the Additional Commissioner of Police Shri Nikhil Kumar had intimated on telephone that a massacre was going on in Block No.32, Trilok Puri and the police force may be sent there.The information was recorded in the daily diary as DD No.12A dated 02.11.84 and the copy of the DD report was entrusted to SI Man Phool Singh, who immediately proceeded for the place of occurrence along with Constable Pat Ram.The SHO and the other staff also reached Block No.32 Trilok Puri in an official vehicle, where they found houses No.123, 124, 484 and 485, besides many other houses, on fire.One Sucha Singh and Lacha Singh were found there in injured condition and they were removed to the hospital.In the meanwhile, some senior officers also reached at the spot of occurrence with additional force and about 107 rioters were rounded up.The women and children belonging to the Sikh community were also sent to the Police Station.Some other injured persons, who were found at the spot, were sent to the hospital.SI Man Phool Singh met the complainant Rijju Singh at the spot of occurrence and recorded his statement, which disclosed the commission of various offences punishable under Section 147/148/149/436/304/323 IPC.SI Man Phool Singh appended his Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 2 of 19 endorsement to the statement of the complainant Rijju Singh and sent it to the Police Station for the registration of the case and on the basis of said statement, formal FIR No.426/84 was recorded at the Police Station Kalyan Puri.We may note the complaint of Rijju Singh was specific to the incident relating to his family and the murder of his brother-in-law Lakha Singh.Besides the above said specific allegations, Rijju Singh also made general allegations pertaining to the loss of life and property caused by the rioters to several Sikh families.A.No.219/1996 Page 2 of 19Subsequent to the riots, Justice Rang Nath Misra Commission was constituted by the Government to inquire into the various aspects of the riots including the role of the police.The Commission invited petition/affidavit from dissatisfied victims of riots.Baujhi Bai, PW6 also submitted her affidavit Ex.In the aforesaid affidavit, she averred that on 01.11.1984, a mob of rioters led by the Block Pradhan Ram Pal Saroj of Block No.32, Trilok Puri came at her house.She, her son Inder Singh and his wife Raj Rani requested Ram Pal Saroj to save them, but Ram Pal Saroj responded that he was not concerned whether they live or die.By that time, three/four police Constables came there and told her son Inder Singh to go inside and thereafter he closed the door of the house from outside.The said police officials told the mob that there were Sikhs inside the house and thus the mob forced open the door.The appellant Abdul Rashid and Nisar Ahmed @ Hansar were leading said mob.Her daughters-in-law prayed for mercy, but they were dragged Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 3 of 19 aside and the mob started looting their house.She further averred in the affidavit that thereafter the aforesaid mob caught hold of the male members and started dragging and beating them.When they started beating Inder Singh, he tried to escape, but he was caught and thereafter the mob put a burning quilt on him and when Baujhi Bai tried to remove that burning quilt, she was beaten and pushed away.The mob also assaulted her son Gopal Singh with lathies and he was thrown on a burning rickshaw.Thereafter, the mob found that her husband was hiding on the roof.They uttered the words ""Budhey Tu Kaise Bacha"" and killed him on the roof itself.A.No.219/1996 Page 3 of 19On the recommendation of Rang Nath Misra Commission, a Committee comprising of Justice Jain and Shri Agrawal was constituted to go through the affidavits filed by various victims and make recommendations regarding the registration and investigation of cases pertaining to specific incidents.The Committee, on consideration of the above affidavit of Baujhi Bai and the investigation file of Case FIR No.426/84 P.S. Kalyan Puri found that the Investigating Officer, apart from recording the statement of PW6 Baujhi Bai in respect of the incident in hand had not examined any other witness.In order to bring home the guilt of the appellants, prosecution examined as many as 13 witnesses.The material witnesses being the purported eye witnesses, PW5 Raj Rani, PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW7 Devi Kaur.The co-accused Ram Pal Saroj died during the trial, as such proceedings against him stood abated.The case of the prosecution rests mainly on the eye witness account given by PW5 Raj Rani, PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW7 Devi Kaur.PW5 Raj Rani has stated that in November, 1984, she was living with her family members namely, Baujhi Kaur (mother-in-law), Devi Kaur(sister-in-law), Vidya Kaur (sister-in-law), Jeevan Singh (father-in- law), Inder Singh (husband) and four children.On 01.11.84, at around 4:00 pm, a 3000 to 4000 number strong mob came to their house.The members of the mob were carrying lathies, stones and swords etc. The mob entered their house after breaking open the door and started looting the household goods.Thereafter, they asked them to go out and assured that they would not cause any harm to the ladies and children, but would not spare the male members.The mob then started beating her husband Inder Singh and father-in-law Jeevan Singh with lathies and when they became unconscious, the mob poured kerosene oil over them and set them on fire.She further stated that out of the aforesaid mob, she was able to identify Ram Pal Saroj, Hansar @ Nasir and the appellant Abdul Rashid.She identified Abdul Rashid and Ram Pal Saroj in the court, but failed to identify Hansar @ Nasir.We may note at this juncture that PW5 Raj Rani has not stated anything about presence of her two brothers-in-law Gopal Singh and Makhan Singh at the time of incident or their having been beaten and killed by the rioters in her presence.A.No.219/1996 Page 6 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 6 of 19PW6 Baujhi Bai has stated that on the fateful day at around 4:00 pm, she was present in her house along with her husband Jeevan Singh (deceased) and sons Inder Singh (deceased), Gopal Singh (deceased) and Makhan Singh (deceased) when a huge mob of rioters entered their house after breaking open the door.She has stated that they set their house on fire with the help of kerosene oil and when they came out of burning house, she noticed that members of the crowd were carrying Churras, knives and ""dandas"" etc. Accused Ram Pal Saroj (since deceased) was leading the crowd and on his instigation, the rioters killed her husband and three sons with churras, swords and iron rods and thereafter set them on fire after pouring petrol over them.She further stated that her household goods were looted.Her daughter-in-law Devi Kaur and Raj Rani ran away from the house after the killing and she remained there outside the house near the burnt bodies of her husband and sons till 10:00 pm.Though PW6 Baujhi Bai identified Ram Pal Saroj in the court, she expressed her inability to identify the appellant Abdul Rashid and the other co-accused.She further stated that she had submitted the affidavit Ex.PW4/A before the Commission.Though in her examination-in-chief, she did not say anything about the appellant Abdul Rashid being one of the rioters who had killed her husband and sons, but in the cross-examination she denied the suggestion on behalf of the appellant Abdul Rashid that she had named Abdul Rashid as one of the rioters because he was the youth Congress leader at that time.Therefore, considering that the investigation done was perfunctory, the Committee recommended further investigation into the allegations vide letter Ex.PW3/A. Pursuant to the recommendation, further investigation in the matter was conducted by the Riots Cell constituted in this regard.A.No.219/1996 Page 4 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 4 of 19During further investigation, the statements of Raj Rani PW5, Baujhi Bai PW6 and Devi Kaur PW7 were recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. wherein they more or less supported the averments made in the affidavit of Baujhi Bai.On conclusion of investigation, a supplementary charge sheet under Section 137(8) in respect of case FIR No.426/84 P.S. Kalyan Puri was filed.The learned Trial Court, on consideration of the challan, charged the appellant and his co-accused persons for the offences punishable under Section 147 IPC, 302 read with Section 149 IPC, 436 read with Section 149 IPC, 395 read with Section 149 IPC.The appellant and his co-accused persons pleaded innocence and claimed trial.The learned Trial Court, on conclusion of trial, found the appellant Abdul Rashid guilty for the offences punishable under Section 148 IPC, 302 read Section 149 IPC, 397 and 436 IPC read with Section 149 IPC and convicted him accordingly.The co-accused Nisar Ahmed @ Hansar, however, was given benefit of doubt and acquitted.A.No.219/1996 Page 5 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 5 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 7 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 7 of 19PW7 Devi Kaur, another eye witness, has stated in the court that in November, 1984, she was living at House No.32/1, Trilok Puri with her family, including father-in-law Jeevan Singh, mother-in-law Baujhi Bai, husband Makhan Singh, Jeth Inder Singh, Devar Gopal Singh and Nanad (husbands sister) Gopi Kaur.She also stated that on 01.11.84 at about 4:00 pm, a 300/400 number strong mob, including Ram Pal Saroj (since deceased), Hansar @ Nisar (acquitted) and the appellant Abdul Rashid came to their house.They were carrying ""dandas"", churras, knives and petrol etc. The accused persons along with other rioters caught hold of the male members of the family, including her husband, Devar, Jeth, father-in-law and assaulted them with iron rods, churras and knives etc. and killed them.Thereafter, the mob burnt their bodies by pouring petrol upon them.She further stated that the mob dragged them out of the house and then looted their house and burnt it.She, Vidya Kaur, Devi Kaur and Raj Rani ran away, but her mother-in-law remained behind with the dead bodies.She further stated that she knew above named three accused persons since before as they were residents of the same lane in which she was living.The appellant in his statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. denied the prosecution case.According to him, he was not in the group of rioters and actually he was not in Delhi at the relevant time.In defence, the appellant examined DW1 Padam Sharma who has deposed that on 27/28.10.84, he had arranged a car for the appellant from Shakarpur taxi stand for enabling him to take a Sikh brother to Crl.DW2 Mohd Hanif is running a Madarsa at Mauza Anup Pur Dibai, District Ghaziabad, U.P. According to him, on 01.11.84 at about 10:00 am, the appellant met him in connection with the treatment of his brother who on checking was found to be behaving like a mad man.The witness has stated that he gave three ""Taveez"" to the appellant for his ailing brother.The appellant stayed with them for three days and on the fourth day, when the condition of his brother did not improve, he advised the appellant to show his brother to some Doctor.A.No.219/1996 Page 8 of 19PW4/A, which is stated to have been submitted before Justice Rang Nath Misra Commission constituted by the Government to inquire into 1984 riots, including the role of the police.Learned counsel has contended that admittedly prior to the filing of said affidavit, the statements of PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW5 Raj Rani were recorded during the investigation of the case FIR No.426/84 on 17.11.84 and 06.12.84 respectively and in those statements neither Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 9 of 19 Baujhi Bai nor Raj Rani named the appellant as one of the members of the mob of rioters though they had named some other persons whom they were able to identify in the mob.Agrawal Committee to the Administrator, Union Territory of Delhi dated 05.04.91 reveals that in the said letter there was no comment made upon the fairness of the investigation as regards the recording of the correct statement of the witness Baujhi Bai, but it was only stated that the investigation was done in perfunctory manner inasmuch as that no effort was made by the Investigating Officer to examine any other ocular witness to corroborate the testimony of Baujhi Bai.Thus, it is argued that since the name of Abdul Rashid as being part of the mob was not mentioned by Baujhi Bai and Raj Rani in their statements earlier made to the police, it is not safe to rely upon the testimony of the prosecution witnesses, who are also related to each other.A.No.219/1996 Page 9 of 19Learned counsel for the appellant has further submitted that PW5 Raj Rani and PW7 Devi Kaur had categorically stated that Abdul Rashid, who was identified by them in the mob, was resident of Block No.32, Trilok Puri, whereas the appellant was not residing in Block No.32, Trilok Puri at the relevant time.In support of this contention, he has relied upon the voter list of East Delhi Parliamentary Constituency for the years 1984, 1987 and 1993 wherein name of Abdul Rashid S/o Ashraf Ali, resident of House No.320, Block No.32 is mentioned at Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 10 of 19 Serial No.784 and submitted that from this it is obvious that there was one other Abdul Rashid S/o Ashraf Ali living in Block No.32 at the relevant time and, therefore, a possibility cannot be ruled out that the person named by Baujhi Bai in her affidavit Ex.PW4/A and by PW5 to PW7 during trial may be the aforesaid Abdul Rashid S/o Ashraf Ali and not the appellant, who is son of Abdul Aziz, resident of 33/55, Trilok Puri.A.No.219/1996 Page 10 of 19Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that PW5 Raj Rani, PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW7 Devi Kaur are interested witnesses being closely related to each other and also the wives of the deceased Inder Singh, Jeevan Singh and Makhan Singh respectively.It was submitted that though there is no bar under law to base conviction on the testimony of interested witnesses, if found reliable, yet the rule of prudence demands that the testimony of said witnesses be approached with due care and caution.Learned counsel has argued that PW5 to PW7 are not worthy of reliance because of contradictions and infirmities in their testimonies.He has argued that case of the prosecution is that the incident took place in presence of the above referred witnesses, yet PW5 Raj Rani in her testimony has not deposed anything about the killing of her brothers-in-law Makhan Singh and Gopal Singh by the mob.He has further submitted that even regarding the identification of the accused persons, the testimony of these witnesses is at variance.PW7 Devi Kaur identified all the three accused Ram Pal Saroj, Hansar @ Nisar and Abdul Rashid and she also Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 11 of 19 claimed that she knew Hansar @ Nisar as he was well known to her ""devar"" Gopal Singh, whereas PW5 Raj Rani has contradicted her version by stating that the accused Hansar on trial before the court was not the same Hansar whom she saw in the crowd of rioters.Further, PW6 Baujhi Bai failed to identify either the appellant Abdul Rashid or his co-accused Hansar, though she identified the other accused Ram Pal Saroj.In view of the aforesaid contradictions, learned counsel for the appellant has urged us to conclude that the testimony of these witnesses is doubtful.A.No.219/1996 Page 11 of 19Besides the above arguments, it is also argued on behalf of the appellant that even the death of Jeevan Singh, Inder Singh, Makhan Singh and Gopal Singh is not established because the investigating agency has neither seized the dead bodies or their ashes, which may lead to an inference that actually the incident referred to by the witnesses did not take place and in that incident the above referred persons were killed by the mob.Learned counsel has argued that since in the aftermath of 1984 riots, the Government had announced compensation for the victims, a possibility cannot be ruled out that these witnesses have concocted the story to obtain compensation and their husbands might be alive.On the other hand, learned counsel for the State has submitted that the guilt of the appellant is firmly established from the testimony of PW5 Raj Rani, PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW7 Devi Kaur, which is Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 12 of 19 consistent and of corroborative nature.Learned counsel took us through the testimony of above three ocular witnesses and submitted that they have withstood the test of cross-examination and there is no reason to suspect their testimony.So far as failure of the investigating agency to seize the burnt dead bodies of the deceased persons or their ashes is concerned, learned counsel for the State has submitted that the aforesaid factor, by no means, is of any help to the appellant and it cannot be taken as a circumstance to infer that the murders of Jeevan Singh, Inder Singh, Makhan Singh and Gopal Singh have not been established, particularly when it was an extraordinary situation prevailing at the relevant time and even the police force virtually abdicated its functions.Learned counsel for the State has submitted that it was precisely for that reason that the Government had appointed Justice Rang Nath Misra Commission.He has submitted that the deliberate failure of the police to perform its duty properly cannot be taken as a circumstance to discard testimony of the eye witnesses, if found reliable.Otherwise also, he submitted that there is no evidence on record to show that any one of the above referred victims is alive.Learned counsel for the State further submitted that the contradictions pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellant in the testimony of PW5 Raj Rani, PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW7 Devi Kaur are not so material as to discard their testimony.If Baujhi Bai, because of her weak eyesight, could not identify the appellant and his co-accused Hansar, that by itself is no reason to discard the testimony of the other Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 13 of 19 two witnesses, who did identify the appellant as a participant rioter.Lastly, it was submitted by learned counsel for the State that the appellant cannot take advantage of the earlier statements of Baujhi Bai and Raj Rani recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. because he has not confronted the witnesses with said earlier statements to seek their explanation in that regard.A.No.219/1996 Page 12 of 19A.No.219/1996 Page 13 of 19We have considered the rival contentions of the parties and perused the material on record.The main issue for determination in this appeal is whether or not the appellant Abdul Rashid was a member of the mob which indulged in rioting and committed the murder of Jeevan Singh, Inder Singh, Makhan Singh and Gopal Singh, besides indulging in looting and mischief.The prosecution in order to bring home this fact has heavily relied upon the testimony of PW5 Raj Rani, PW6 Baujhi Bai and PW7 Devi Kaur.PW4/A to the Commission and the aforesaid affidavit, along with the affidavits Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 14 of 19 of others were then referred to Justice Jain and Shri Agrawal Committee to go through the affidavits and make recommendations regarding registration and investigation of the case.Perusal of said affidavit Ex.PW4/A submitted by Baujhi Bai reveals that in the aforesaid affidavit Baujhi Bai affirmed the facts regarding the murder of her husband and three sons.She also affirmed in the affidavit that the mob of rioters were led by Rashid Neta and Hansar.PW3/A is the letter written by the Secretary to Justice Jain-Sh.Agrawal Committee.In para 3 of the letter it is, inter alia, stated thus:On perusal of the above mentioned facts narrated in the letter Ex.PW3/A, it appears that Justice Jain-Sh.Agrawal Committee recommended further investigation in this case on a solitary ground that investigation was conducted in casual and perfunctory manner.There is nothing in the letter on the record to Crl.A.No.219/1996 Page 16 of 19Learned counsel for the State has submitted that even if the testimony of PW5 Raj Rani and PW6 Baujhi Bai is discarded because of material improvements made by them in respect of introducing the name of Abdul Rashid as a rioter, yet the guilt of the appellant is established by the testimony of PW7 Devi Kaur, who has fully supported the case of the prosecution and who has even withstood the test of cross-examination.It is true that Devi Kaur, PW7 did name and identify the appellant Abdul Rashid as one of the rioters.None of the witnesses in their statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. has given the address of other Rashid, whom they purportedly saw amongst the rioters.A possibility cannot be ruled out that since one of the accused on trial was Abdul Rashid, the witnesses, including PW7 Devi Kaur, routinely identified the appellant as one of the rioters.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 436 in The Indian

+"Heard Sri Brijesh Sahai, learned counsel for the appellant and Sri K.N. Bajpayee, learned A.G.A. for the State.The order which is impugned in the instant application filed by the applicant under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is dated 9.6.2011, passed by Additional Civil Judge (J.D.), Garh Mukteshwar, District Ghaziabad in Case No.317 of 2011 (State Vs.Ilmas) arising out of Case Crime No.35 of 2011 (State Vs.Bablu and others) under Section 302, 506 I.P.C., P.S. Simbhawali, Ghaziabad by which the applicant has been summoned to face trial for the offences punishable under Sections 302 & 506 I.P.C.The brief facts of the case are that the opposite party no.2 Asif lodged a first information report at P.S. Simbhawali on 1.2.2011 (annexure no.1 to the affidavit accompanying this application) at about 8.45 p.m. alleging therein that when on 31.1.2011 at about 6.00 pm the informant, his brother Chaman and one Rahat S/o Tahir after having their meal were going on a walk three persons, namely, Bablu, Nadeem and one unknown person, all armed with country made pistols appeared before them and Nadeem caught hold of Chaman while Bablu shot Chaman in his stomach with his country made pistol and the third person held the informant and Rahat away from Chaman at gunpoint.The injured Chaman was taken to the hospital where he died.On the basis of the aforesaid FIR Case Crime No.35 of 2011 was registered against Nadeem, Bablu and one unknown person.During the course of investigation the Investigating Officer apart from collecting other materials recorded the statements of informant Nadeem and Rahat and upon completion of investigation laid down charge sheet bearing no.33 of 2011 dated 23.2.2011under Section 302 and 506 I.P.C. (annexure no.8) before the concerned Magistrate against Nadeem and Bablu.On the application moved by the complainant/opposite party no.2 before the S.S.P., Ghaziabad the matter was directed to be investigated further by S.I.S., Ghaziabad by his order dated 25.2.2011 which has been brought on record by the applicant as annexure no.S.A.1 to the supplementary affidavit).During further investigation the S.I.S., Ghaziabad examined the informant Asif and two new witnesses Jan Mohammad @ Janu and Aftab who in their statements claimed that they had seen the applicant along with other co-accused armed with country made pistols running away from the place of occurrence on the relevant date after they had reached there upon hearing the sound of gun shot.Relying upon the statements of Jan Mohammad @ Janu and Aftab charge sheet bearing no.33-A of 2011 dated 23.5.2011 was submitted against the applicant after completion of further investigation where upon the court below took cognizance and summoned the applicant by his order dated 9.6.2011 (annexure no.12 to the affidavit accompanying this application).Sri Brijesh Sahai, learned counsel for the applicant vehemently submitted that the impugned order by which the applicant has been summoned by the court below is an absolutely non-speaking and cryptic order which does not reflect any application of judicial mind by the concerned Magistrate to the facts of the case and the materials on record and since before a Magistrate, upon receipt of a complaint or a police report or any other information showing commission of a cognizable offence, takes cognizance and issues process, it is imperative that it must be discernible from the order of the Magistrate that he has taken into consideration the charge sheet and the other papers submitted therewith for satisfying himself as to whether a prima facie case against the accused for the concerned offences is made out and since the impugned orders does not conform to the aforesaid requirement, the same cannot be sustained and is liable to be set aside.Sri Brijesh Sahai, next submitted that the applicant having not been charge sheeted in the investigation which followed the registration of the FIR at the behest of the opposite party no.2, the investigation pursuance to which charge sheet has been submitted against the applicant is without any sanction of law as the said investigation was not further investigation but reinvestigation which is forbidden under the Code of Criminal Procedure, as would be evident from the perusal of the charge sheet submitted against the applicant which has been described as charge sheet (mool) and not as supplementary charge sheet.Sri Brijesh Sahai also submitted that even it is presumed that the impugned investigation was further investigation, the same was bad on account of having been done without the permission of the concerned court.Sri Brijesh Sahai lastly submitted that evidence on the basis of which the court below has taken cognizance and summoned the applicant does not disclose the commission of any offences by the applicant and the same is not at all sufficient for his conviction for the offences with which he has been charge sheeted.LJ 2897, Virendra Prasad Singh Vs.Rajesh Bhardwaj, 2010 (9) SCC 171, Ram Chandra Vs.Adya Kumar and others, 2008 (3) JIC 484 (SC) and Hasan Bhai Vali Bhai Qureshi Vs.Sri K.N. Bajpayee, learned A.G.A. appearing for the state-respondents submitted that it is trite law that no detailed order is required to be passed at the stage of summoning, no meticulous examination of facts is required to be done at that stage and what Section 204 of the code ordains is that if in the opinion of a Magistrate for taking cognizance of an offence there is sufficient ground for proceeding ,he shall issue summons for the attendance of the accused and the aforesaid section no where requires the Magistrate to record reasons for summoning.","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 173 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The facts giving rise to the present appeals lie in a narrow compass and centre around a criminal conspiracy, allegedly hatched by the family members of the appellant to murder the deceased, Kunal.The case of the prosecution as per the charge-sheet is that in the month of March 1999, deceased Kunal organised an entertainment show, sponsored by the father of the appellant.During the event, the deceased was introduced to the sister of the appellant, Hema.The acquaintance blossomed into love between the two.Appellant's father lodged a complaint alleging that the deceased had kidnapped his daughter.The complainant, namely, the father of the deceased, also reported the matter to the Pune Police.Sometime in June, 2000, Kunal contacted his father and informed him that he was at Gauhati with Hema.Thereupon, the complainant and his wife brought Kunal and Hema to Mumbai.On persuasion by the complainant and his wife, Hema agreed to return and stay with her parents and the marriage between Kunal and Hema is stated to have been annulled.In December, the complainant filed complaints with the S.P., Satara and the Additional Commissioner of Police, Pune against the father of the appellant alleging that he had abused him over the telephone.The complainant also alleged that even thereafter, threatening calls were made by the appellant, his sister, Hema and father.However, the things seem to have settled down with the intervention of the Advocate of the complainant.On 21st April, 2001, the deceased (Kunal) left Panchgani (where he was living with the parents) for Mahabaleshwar in his maruti car.At about 8:30 p.m., a taxi-driver informed the complainant that Kunal was lying in a pool of blood on Mahabaleshwar road.The complainant rushed to the spot and took his son in an injured condition to the hospital where he was declared brought dead.The complainant lodged an F.I.R at Mahabaleshwar Police Station against unknown persons and an offence was registered under Section 302 of the IPC.Therefore, in order to teach a lesson to the complainant they hatch conspiracy to kill his only son, Kunal.Accordingly accused No.1 contacted accused No.6 Suresh Jhajara and further informed him the complainant and his son should be taught a lesson as Kunal Parihar betrayed him.Hence should be taught a lesson and further asked to carry out future plan.Accused No.6, contacted accused No.7 and included him in the aforesaid conspiracy.J U D G M E N TREPORTABLECRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 744 OF 2008Arising Out of S.L.P. (Criminal) No.5514 of 2007WITHCRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 745 OF 2008[Arising out of S.L.P. (Criminal) No.5515 of 2007]D.K. JAIN, J.:Leave granted.These two appeals are directed against orders dated 23rd June, 2006 and 19th September, 2006 passed by the High Court of Judicature at Bombay in Criminal Revision Application No. 288 of 2005 and in Criminal Writ Petition No.1884 of 2006 respectively.By the first order, the High Court has repelled the challenge made to order dated 23rd March, 2005, in Criminal Appeal No.83 of 2004, whereby the Sessions Judge, Satara had affirmed the order passed by the Juvenile Justice Board, rejecting the application filed by the appellant under Section 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short ""the Code"") for discharge.However, on the next day, the complainant levelled allegation that since marriage of Kunal had been fixed with another girl, the appellant and his family members had developed a grudge and had, therefore, hatched a conspiracy with co-accused Umesh, Suresh, Bhavarlal Sharma, Captain Sharma to murder Kunal.On completion of investigation, charge-sheet was filed against the appellant before the Juvenile Court, Satara, being below 18 years of age, and against fifteen other persons, which included his father (A-1), mother (A-2), sister (A-4), a family friend (A-11), manager of his father (A-12), in Sessions Court, Satara.All of them have been arraigned as members to the conspiracy to murder Kunal.The appellant, herein, and accused A-1, A-2, A-4 to A-7, A-11 and A-12 have been prosecuted for offences under Section 302 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ""the I.P.C.""), whereas accused A-7 to A-10 and A-13 to A-16 have been prosecuted for offences under Section 302 read with Section 120B and under the Arms Act.The appellant filed an application for discharge before the Juvenile Justice Board, under Section 227 of the Code.The Juvenile Justice Board by order dated 1st October, 2004, rejected the said application.Being aggrieved by the said order, the appellant preferred a criminal appeal before the Sessions Judge, Satara.Still aggrieved, the appellant moved a revision application before the High Court.Vide order dated 23rd June, 2006, the High Court dismissed the criminal revision.Both these orders were challenged by them by means of two Criminal Writ Petitions (Nos.1283 and 1284 of 2006).Inter-alia, observing that the circumstances highlighted by the prosecution, even if accepted in entirety, only created a suspicion of motive, these were not sufficient to make out a case for conviction of the accused and some suspicion or motive cannot serve as a sufficient ground for framing of charge against them.Accordingly, all the four accused/petitioners were discharged.Emboldened by the said order, on 4th August, 2006, the appellant filed a Criminal Writ Petition (No.1884 of 2006) under Article 227 of the Constitution read with Section 482 of the Code for quashing of aforenoted order dated 23rd March, 2005, passed by the Sessions Judge, Satara and for discharge of the charges framed under Section 302 read with Section 120B of the I.P.C. Expressing surprise over the fact that this petition had been filed though the order impugned in the petition stood confirmed on dismissal of criminal revision on 23rd June, 2006, the learned Judge rejected the plea of the appellant that in the light of order dated 7th July, 2006, in the case of co-accused, by reason of parity, he was also entitled to be discharged.Inter-alia, observing that earlier order dated 23rd June, 2006 in the case of the appellant, which was certainly relevant for deciding the Criminal Writ Petitions No.1283 & 1284 of 2006, had not been noticed in order dated 7th July, 2006 (by the Chief Justice), vide order dated 19th September, 2006, the learned Judge dismissed the petition.As noted above, both the orders, dated 23rd June, 2006 and 19th September, 2006 are challenged in these two appeals.At this juncture, two other significant subsequent developments deserve to be noted.Secondly, relying on order dated 7th July, 2006, the father (A-1) of the appellant, termed as the main accused in the charge-sheet, filed an application before the Sessions Judge for discharge from all the charges.Taking note of the said order passed by the High Court, and inter-alia, observing that apart from the fact that the alleged threats are vague and are inadequate to connect the said accused with the crime, vide order dated 14th May, 2007, the Sessions Judge came to the conclusion that there was absolutely no material on the basis whereof a reasonable likelihood of the said accused being convicted could be predicted.Accordingly, he has discharged the said accused.Thus, as on date, the father (A-1), the mother (A-2), the sister (A-4) of the appellant and his two other associates (A-11 & A-Accused No.1 to 4, contacted accused No.16, through accused No.6 and 7, accused No.16 pending is a notorious criminal.Criminal cases are pending against him in the District Court of Pune.In the offence regarding body, accused No.7 contacted him through witnesses Atul Lohar in order to carry out the aforesaid plan.Accused No.7 asked accused No.8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 to joint the aforesaid conspiracy and in order to carry out the aforesaid conspiracy successfully accused No.7 purchased one Maruti Car No.14 D-3027 from witness Afzal Khan Ibrahim Khan, resident of Dehu Road and also Motor Cycle No.By using the aforesaid vehicles accused No.7 to 10 and 13 to 15 have committed ghastly murder of Kunal.In order to carry out the aforesaid conspiracy successfully accused No.7 has used revolver, khukri, sickle, sword and iron bar and supplied it to accused No.8 to 10 and from 13 to 15, by using the aforesaid weapons the aforesaid persons have assaulted Kunal Parihar by which he sustained grave injuries and ultimately died.Hence accused No.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11 and 12 have charged been under Sections 302, 120B IPC and accused No.7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15 and 16 have charged u/s 302 read with 120B IPC and under Arms Act Section 3 and 25.""bar and supplied it to accused No.8 to 10[Emphasis supplied]Thus, according to the prosecution version, when accused, A-1 to A-5, A-11 and A-12 learnt about the marriage of Kunal with some other girl, they hatched a conspiracy to teach a lesson to the father of Kunal, the deceased.In furtherance thereof, accused A-1 contacted one of the assassins to kill Kunal.It is alleged that accused A-1 to A-4 also contacted accused A-16, a notorious criminal.In other words, the gravamen of the accusation by the prosecution is that it is accused A-1 to A-5, A-11 and A-12 who had hatched the conspiracy; acted in concert to give effect to their plan to get Kunal murdered and in pursuance of the aforesaid criminal conspiracy, the other accused facilitated commission of the said crime.From the material on record, it is manifestly clear that it was the family members of the appellant, one of their employees and a friend who allegedly had all entered into an agreement to eliminate the deceased.Furthermore, in its order dated 7th July, 2006, the High Court has opined that the circumstances, relied upon by the prosecution, even if accepted in its entirety, only create a suspicion of motive, which is not sufficient to bring home an offence of murder.As noted above, State's petition for special leave against the said judgment has already been dismissed.We are, therefore, of the view that in the light of the subsequent events, namely, the orders of the High Court dated 7th July, 2006 in Criminal Writ Petitions No. 1283 & 1284 of 2006, discharging appellant's mother, sister and two close associates, accused Nos.2, 4, 11 and 12 respectively; order dated 30th April, 2007 passed by this Court dismissing the Special Leave Petition preferred by the State against order dated 7th July, 2006 and order dated 14th May, 2007 passed by the Sessions Judge, Satara, discharging the father (A-1) of the appellant, stated to be the mastermind behind the entire conspiracy, for offences under Sections 120B and 302 I.P.C., on same set of circumstances and accusations, no sufficient ground survives to proceed against the appellant for the aforementioned offences.","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The case against the accused/appellant is that, the deceased Saranyawas the wife of the appellant and they lived separately as tenant in theupstairs of the house belonged to one Babu.The appellant often quarrelledwith her wife in a drunken mood.On 25.01.2013, from the dawn itself, theappellant and his deceased wife were quarreling with each other and they werealso warned by their house owner, namely Babu.After pacification, both ofthem went to their house at about 12.00 O' clock in the night.On 26.01.2013,at about 00.30 a.m. smoke emanated from the appellant's house and on noticingthe same, the house owner and another person by name Muthuvel came out of their house.At that time the appellant, also came out of his house hurriedlyand when the house owner and said named person enquired the appellant, the appellant replied that he done away his wife, since he has no peace at all inher existence.When both the house owner and Muthuvel entered into the house of appellant, they noticed that the deceased was burning and they tried toextinguish the fire, however, the deceased burnt completely.The Prosecutionfurther alleged that during the course of heated arguments, the appellantdashed her wife's head into the wall and thus, murdered her.The appellant herein was tried by the learned Principal SessionsJudge, Tuticorin, in S.C.No.128 of 2014, for charges under Section 302 and302 r/w 201 IPC.The learned Trial Judge found that the appellant/accusedguilty of the charges under Section 302 IPC and sentenced him to undergo lifeimprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- with default sentence of sixmonths rigorous imprisonment; and 7 years rigorous imprisonment for theoffence under Section 302 r/w 201 IPC with default sentence of rigorousimprisonment for three months.The sentences imposed were ordered to run concurrently.Aggrieved by the judgment of conviction and sentence passed bythe trial court, the accused has preferred the present Criminal Appeal beforethis Court.In order toscreen the murder, the appellant set fire on her body.Thus, the accused wascharged for the offences as stated above.Before the trial court, in order to substantiate its case, theprosecution examined PWs-1 to 16, marked Exs.P1 to P23 and produced MOs1 toOn the side of the accused, neither any person was examined nor anydocument was marked.Out of the above said witnesses PW1/Muthuvel/complainant and PW2/Babu, are the neighbours of the appellant.They have spoken about theoccurrence.However, they did not support the case of the prosecution andhence they were treated as hostile witnesses.Similarly PW3/Mohan, PW4/Ayya Durai, PW5/Vikram and PW6/Ramakrishnan have been treated as hostile witnesses.PW7/Anthonysamy, the father of the deceased Saranya, has spoken about the quarrel between his deceased daughter and the appellant.PW10, is the Doctor who conducted postmortem on the deceased Saranya and he gave Ex.P9/Postmortem certificate.PW14, is the Doctor, who gave treatment to the accused on 26.01.2013 and he has given Ex.P14/Accident Register, inwhich he has mentioned as follows:-?Alleged H/O sustained burns while burning his wife at about 12.30 a.m.on 26.01.2013 at his residence.?The learned trial Judge, after completing the procedure andconsidering the oral and documentary evidence let in, and upon hearing bothsides, convicted and sentenced the accused as aforementioned, resulting infiling of the present Appeal before this Court.7.The point that arises for consideration in this Appeal is as towhether the judgment of conviction and sentence passed by the trial court issustainable in law or not?Learned Senior counsel for the appellant submitted that P.Ws.1 to 5,who are stated to have seen the occurrence and examined as eye-witnesses to the occurrence, have not supported the case of the prosecution and they haveturned hostile and hence the conviction of the appellant is liable to be setaside.He would further submit that the trial court has based its convictiontaking into account the statement said to have been made by the accused toP.W.14 at the time when he was taken by the Police for treatment for the burninjuries sustained by him at the time when he tried to save his wife when shepoured kerosene and set herself on fire to commit suicide and recorded byP.W.14 in Ex.It is the contention of the learned Senior Counsel forthe appellant that since the said statement was given by the appellant at thetime when he was in the custody of police, the same shall not be proved, asper section 26 of the Indian Evidence Act and therefore the conviction of theappellant is liable to be set aside.P.Ws.1, 2, 4 and 5 in their evidence have stated that in the midnight of25.01.2013, they saw smoke coming out from the house where the deceased and the accused were residing and upon seeing the same, they rushed to the house of the accused and found the deceased in flames and immediately they put-offthe fire by pouring water and to that extent their evidence is clear andcogent.He would further submit that the accused himself has admitted beforeP.W.14, the doctor, who gave treatment to the burn injuries sustained by him,that he sustained injuries when he set fire on the body of his wife, thedeceased, which has been duly recorded by P.W.14 in Ex.P-14, Accident Register issued to the accused.He would further submit that from theevidence of Doctor who conducted postmortem and issued postmortem certificate, it is clear that the deceased was done to death before her bodywas set on fire.Therefore, it is his submission that the trial court aftertaking into account all the above has come to conclusion it is the accusedwho has murdered his wife and thereafter in order to screen the evidence hehas set fire on her body and thus convicted the appellant under Sections 302and Section 302 read with 201 IPC and the same does not require any interference, except confirmation at the hands of this Court.We have considered the above submissions and perused the materials on record, carefully.It is admitted that the accused and the deceased were husband andwife and they were living in a house belonged to P.W.2, as tenants, for aboutthree months prior to the occurrence.It is the evidence of P.Ws.1, 2, 4 and5 that there used to be quarrel between the spouses, often and on someoccasions they pacified them.It also emerges from the evidence of P.W.7,father of the deceased and P.W.11, mother of the deceased, that theirdaughter used to call them over phone and complain about the conduct of theaccused in quarrelling with her.There is no denial by accused to the saidfacts.It is the case of the prosecution that at the midnight of25.01.2013, when the accused and the deceased were alone in the house, the accused murdered the deceased by causing such injuries and in order to screenthe evidence, he has set fire on the body of the deceased and in the sametransaction, he also sustained burn injuries.Based on the above statedaccusation, it is to be seen whether it was the accused who caused the deathof the deceased and tried to screen the evidence.Though P.Ws.1 to 5 have turned hostile and did not support the prosecution, it is settled lawthat their evidence to the extent it supports the prosecution case can beconsidered and appreciated.It is the evidence of P.Ws.1, 2, 4 and 5 that atthe midnight of 25.01.2013, they found smoke emanating from the house of theaccused and when they rushed there they found the deceased in flames and immediately they put-off flames by pouring water.But, they did not supportthe case of the prosecution that on 25.01.2013 at about 8.00 p.m., there wasa quarrel between the accused and the deceased and they pacified them.But,the evidence of P.W.7 and P.W.11, the parents of the deceased, would go toshow that their daughter phoned to them at 8.30 p.m. on 25.01.2013 andcomplained about the conduct of the accused in quarrelling with her and alsoinformed them that P.W.1 and P.W.2 intervened and pacified.If the above saidevidence of P.Ws.7 and 11 is considered along with the admitted evidence ofP.Ws.1, 2, 4 and 5, their evidence cannot be brushed aside merely on theground that they are interested witnesses, as it inspires the confidence ofthe Court.It is not the case of the appellant that he and his wife, thedeceased, never quarrelled with each other.Thus, from their evidence it isclear that on 25.01.2013 night the accused and the deceased were alonepresent together in the house and in such circumstances, it is for the Courtto presume that it is the appellant who had committed the offence.When the aboveincriminating materials were put to the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C., hehas only stated that they were all false and he did not come out with anyexplanation to the satisfaction of the Court.In the above circumstances,the trial court has correctly come to the conclusion that the accused waspresent in the house at the time of occurrence.It is evident from the evidence of P.W.14 that on 26.01.2013 at10.15 a.m., the accused was brought before him for treatment to the burninjuries found on his body and when enquired, he stated that he sustainedthose injuries when he set her wife on fire.The said statement was relied on by the Trial Court only to come to the conclusion that the appellant/accused waspresent at the time of incident in the scene of occurrence.According to him, he found superficial burns all over the body andthe wounds were pale in colour.He found the following ante-mortem injuries:?(i) A contusion of size 6 cms x 4 cms x 1 cm seen over the left sideof forehead.?On dissection of scalp, skull and dura, he found the following:?Scalp contusion of size 8 cms x 6 cms seen over the left frontalregion.Sub-arachanoid haemorrhage seen over the left occipital lobe.?It is his opinion that the deceased would appear to have died ofcomplications of head injury and the death would have occurred 12-24 hoursprior to autopsy and no poison was detected in the viscera analysed.Thus, it is clear from the evidence of P.W.10, the doctor whoconducted autopsy on the body of the deceased, that the death of the deceasedwas not due to the burn injuries but it was due to the complications of headinjury.From the above, it becomes clear that after murdering his wife bycausing the above said head injury, in order to screen the commission of theoffence of murder, the appellant/accused has poured kerosene and set fire onthe body of the deceased.If at all the accused/appellant did not commitmurder of his wife and his wife attempted to commit suicide, as a normalprudent man, he would have sought for the assistance of his neighbours in theeffort of saving his wife.But, he did not do so.On the contrary, hisstatement before P.W.14 was that he sustained injuries when he set fire onthe body of the deceased.Further, if he did not commit any offence, on thearrival of police, he would have made a complaint to the police as to theoccurrence, but he failed to do so.This conduct of the appellant/accusedleads to the inevitable conclusion that it was this appellant/accused whocommitted the murder of the deceased and in order to screen the evidence, hehas set fire on the body of the deceased and thereby committed offencespunishable under Section 302 and Section 302 read with 201 IPC and liable tobe punished thereunder.The trial court has, after appreciating the evidencein detail, found the accused guilty under both the charges and sentenced himthereunder.We find no reason or ground to interfere with the wellconsidered judgment of the trial court.Connected miscellaneous petition is also dismissed.1.The Principal Sessions Judge, Tuticorin.2.The Inspector of Police,

+"(Order of this Court was made by P.D.DINAKARAN,J.) The petitioner is the father of the detenu Selvam @ Suresh Kumar.The detenu was incarcerated by order dated 8.4.2007 of the second respondent under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Bootleggers, Drug Offenders, Forest Offenders, Goondas, Immoral Traffic Offenders, Sand Offenders, Slum Grabbers and Video Pirates Act, 1982 (Tamil Nadu Act 14 of 1982) branding him as a Goonda.Hence, the petitioner seeks a writ of Habeas Corpus to call for the records in connection with the order of detention passed by the second respondent dated 8.4.2007 in Cr.M.P.No.5/2007/C1 against his son, who is now confined at Central Prison, Coimbatore, to set aside the same and to direct the respondents to produce the above said detenu before this Court and set him at liberty.The order of detention dated 8.4.2007 came to be passed based on the ground case said to have taken place on 26.2.2007 at 7.30 p.m., on the basis of the complaint lodged by one Sivaprakash on the file of Kavindapadi Police Station.According to the complainant, while he was going along with his wife Thenmalar in his motor cycle towards Kuttiagounden Pudur from Erode, a Tata Sumo Car came speedily and halted, obstructing their way.Three persons came from the car, one was holding a gun and another was having a knife.They demanded the jewels worn by Thenmalar both at gun and knife points.When they refused, one among them snatched the hand bag kept by Thenmalar, which contains a Nokio cell phone, keys of the house and a cash of Rs.450/-.The complainant and his wife raised hue and cry.On hearing their alarm, the public nearby tried to apprehend them on the spot.On seeing the public, the car sped away and the three persons ran in different directions and escaped from the scene of occurrence.In this regard, a case was registered in Crime No.168 of 2007 under Section 392 r/w 397 IPC.During investigation, it was found that one of the three persons is the detenu herein.The detenu was arrested on 13.3.2007 and remanded to judicial custody.The second respondent, taking note of the above case as a ground case and finding that there are six adverse cases pending against the detenu for the offence punishable under Section 379 IPC and having satisfied that there is a compelling necessity to detain him in order to prevent him from indulging in the activities which are prejudicial to the maintenance of public order, ordered his detention dubbing him as a Goonda.The learned counsel for the petitioner challenges the impugned order of detention dated 8.4.2007 mainly on the ground of delay in considering the representation dated 20.4.2007 made on behalf of the detenu, we do not propose to go into the other aspects of the case.But, the file was circulated only on 17.5.2007, with a delay of eight days.The delay in circulating the file by the Government, viz., between 9.5.2007 and 17.5.2007 - a period of eight days, was highlighted by the learned counsel for the petitioner.Even though 12.5.2007 and 13.5.2007 happened to be public holidays, there is no convincing reply on behalf of the State for the delay in circulating the file by the Government.The order of detention dated 8.4.2007 is quashed.The detenu is directed to be set at liberty forthwith unless his presence is required in connection with any other case.The District Collector and District Magistrate Erode District Erode.The Superintendent Central Prison Coimbatore.The Public Prosecutor, High Court Madras.",['Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"2.The brief facts, that are necessary for disposal of this appeal, are as hereunder:-P.W.1, the de facto complainant, is the father of the deceased Theerthakarai; P.W.2 is the mother of the deceased and P.W.3 is the brother of the deceased.The marriage between the deceased and A-1 was solemnized during the month of February 2010 and they were blessed with a male child.The habit of A-1 consuming alcohol led to matrimonial disputes between the spouses and on the fateful day, i.e., on 08.06.2013 at about midnight 01:00 a.m., the deceased committed suicide by pouring 3/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015 kerosene over her body and setting herself on flames.She was taken to the Government Hospital, Madurai , for treatment, where she succumbed to the burn injuries after five days of the occurrence.On information, the law enforcing agency, initially registered a case on the basis of the statement of the deceased Theerthakarai.However, after the demise of Theerthakarai, a written complaint, Ex.P-1, was lodged by P.W.1 with P.W.13, Sub Inspector of Police, Aviyoor Police Station.On receipt of the said complaint, a case was registered by P.W.13 by preparing printed F.I.R., Ex.Since the death had happened within seven years of the marriage, inquest was conducted by P.W.12, the Revenue Divisional Officer.Printed F.I.R. was forwarded to the learned Judicial Magistrate and also to the higher officials, whereinafter P.W.15, the Deputy Superintendent of Police took up investigation.Thereafter, the investigation was handed over to P.W.16, the Inspector of Police, who went 4/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015 to the scene of occurrence and prepared observation mahazar, Ex.P-12 and drew the rough sketch.The accused/respondents 1 & 2 herein, who were arrayed as A-1 and A-2 were charged and tried before the Assistant Sessions Court, Virudhunagar District in S.C.No.23 of 2014 for the offences under Section 306 and 498(A) of Indian Penal Code, and the trial Court found that the prosecution having not proved the case as against the accused/respondents 1 & 2 beyond reasonable doubt, acquitted the accused/respondents 1 & 2 herein.The petitioner/P.W.1 aggrieved by the said order of acquittal has preferred the present appeal.2/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015He examined witnesses and recorded their statements.He also examined the doctors and recorded their statements.The body of the deceased was sent for post-mortem and P.W.9, the doctor, conducted post-mortem on the body of the deceased.After completing the investigation, P.W.16 filed the final report against the accused/respondents for the offences u/s 306 and 498-A IPC.The accused/respondents herein were furnished with the relied upon documents under Section 207 Cr.P.C. and the case was committed to the Sessions Court for trial after framing charges under Sections 306 and 498(A) of I.P.C. When questioned, the accused/respondents herein pleaded not guilty.To prove the case, the prosecution examined P.W.s 1 to 16 and marked Exs.P-1 to P-15 and M.O. When the accused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. about the incriminating circumstances appearing against them, they denied the same as false.Neither any oral nor any 5/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015 documentary evidence was marked on the side of the defence.The trial Court, after hearing either side and after considering the materials available on record, both oral and documentary, acquitted the accused aggrieved by which, the de facto complainant/P.W.1 has filed the present appeal.It is the further submission of the learned counsel that on the fateful day, the deceased came to her parental house and informed P.W.s 1 and 2 and she is being harassed by the accused and that she intends to end her life and P.W.s 1 and 2 pacified her and sent her to her matrimonial home.In this connection it may be pointed out that the powers of the High Court in an appeal from order of acquittal to reassess the evidence and reach its own conclusions under Sections 378 and 379 (sic 378) CrPC are as extensive as in any appeal against the order of conviction.But as a rule of prudence, it is desirable that the High Court should give proper weight and consideration to the view of the trial court with regard to the credibility of the witness, the presumption of innocence in favour of the accused, the right of accused to the benefit of any doubt and the slowness of appellate court in justifying a finding of fact arrived at by a judge who had the advantage of seeing the witness.17/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015The facts as to the relationship of the parties, viz., A-1, A-2, the deceased, P.W.s 1, 2 and 3 are not in dispute.The deceased and A-1 were also blessed with one male child, which is also not in dispute.However, as P.W.s 1 to 3 are related to the deceased, this Court is entrusted with the task of stifling through their evidence to find out whether their evidence is free from embellishments and interpolations and whether their evidence is trustworthy to interfere with the order passed by the trial court.10.1.There are no eye witnesses to the occurrence.However, P.W.s 1 to 3 have been projected by the prosecution to speak about the matrimonial discord between the deceased and A-1 and also the harassment meted out by the accused to the deceased.P.W.s 5, 6, 7 and 8, have turned hostile and, therefore, their evidence in no way furthers the prosecution case.P.W.1 has further deposed that A-1 is residing in the next street and that A-1 frequently consumed alcohol, which led to frequent matrimonial disputes between the spouses.The evidence of P.W.1 further reveals that P.W.s 1 and 2 used to pacify the deceased and send her to her matrimonial house.P.W.1 has further deposed that the deceased came to their house alone and the child was not with her.P.W.1 had further deposed that they pacified her and sent her to her matrimonial home and after some time, they came to know that their daughter committed suicide by pouring kerosene over her body.It is to be borne in mind that initially on receipt of information, the law enforcing agency had recorded the statement of the 19/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015 deceased at the hospital on the day of occurrence.However, subsequently, when her condition worsened, dying declaration, Ex.P.10, was recorded by the Magistrate in the presence of P.W.s 1 and 2, which was attested by them.It is only subsequent to the dying declaration, the complaint, Ex.P-1 has been lodged by P.W.1 based on which the criminal machinery was set in motion.10.5. P.W.1 has deposed that his daughter had affixed her thumb impression in the complaint, Ex.P-1 as well as the dying declaration recorded by the Magistrate.However, the said deposition of P.W.1 was contradicted by the doctors, P.W.s 9 and 10, who have categorically deposed that since the victim had suffered more than 75% burn injuries, they were not able to affix her thumb impression in the complaint as well as in the dying declaration and, therefore, her left toe impression was only obtained in the above documents.It is to be pointed out at this juncture, at the risk of repetition, that subsequent to the dying declaration, Ex.P-10, given by the deceased, the complaint was given by P.W.1, in which he has pointed a 20/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015 finger on the accused as the persons responsible for the deceased committing suicide.But the said complaint of P.W.1 stands nullified by the dying declaration recorded from the deceased, in which the deceased has not made any allegations as against the accused.The deceased, nowhere in the dying declaration, has stated that she was instigated by the accused to commit suicide.Except for a statement that A-1 prevented the deceased from frequenting to her parental house, there is no allegation made as against the accused.One other crucial admission of P.W.1, which enures to the benefit of the accused is that in cross examination, P.W.1 has admitted that while the deceased was in the hospital, a panchayat was convened where the accused agreed to deposit a sum of Rs.3,50,000/- in favour of his son and also settle the properties in his favour.It is to be remembered at this stage that the deceased, who was none other than the daughter of P.W.s 1 and 2, was fighting for her life and no prudent and affectionate parent would hold a panchayat to get settlement of properties.The evidence of the above official witnesses categorically reveal that there was no harassment meted out to the deceased by the accused, but however, there were matrimonial disputes between the spouses.It is to be pointed out that the outcome of marriage is matrimonial dispute, which lingers in every family and mere matrimonial dispute between the spouses alone cannot be exaggerated and stated to be a harassment meted out by one spouse on the other.For the reasons aforesaid, this Court does not find any reason to differ from the findings recorded by the Sessions Court to acquit the respondents herein and, accordingly, the appeal is dismissed confirming the order of acquittal recorded in S.C.No.23 of 2014 on the file of the Assistant Sessions Court, Virudhunagar, Virudhunagar District.02.03.2020 Index: Yes / No Internet: Yes / No sts To1.The Assistant Sessions Court, Virudhunagar, Virudhunagar DistrictThe Inspector of Police, Aviyoor Police Station, Virudhunagar District.3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.25/26http://www.judis.nic.in CRL.A.(MD)No.73 of 2015 M.DHANDAPANI, J.","['Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Heard on admission.Having perused the impugned judgment, record of the trial Court and petition of appeal, we find this appeal being arguable.Hence, it is admitted for final hearing.Learned Panel Lawyer has taken notice of admission of this appeal on behalf of the respondent/State, hence no further notice is required to be sent to it.Appearing counsel for the parties also heard on I.A No.15697/2016 filed by appellant Lalla alias Jaychand Sondhiya under Section 389 of the Cr.P.C for suspension of his custodial sentences.Appellant Lalla alias Jaychand Sondhiya and another co-accused Shivdayal have been convicted and sentenced vide judgment dated 27.07.2016 by Fifth Additional Sessions Judge, Rewa in S.T. No.287/2015 under Section 450 of the IPC to undergo ten years R.I with a fine of Rs.500/-, under Section 376-D to undergo R.I for twenty years with a fine of Rs.500/- and under Section 506 part-II of the IPC to undergo six months R.I with a fine of Rs.500/- with default stipulations.All the jail sentences of the appellant have been directed to run concurrently.Learned counsel for the appellant vehemently contended that during trial appellant Lalla alias Jaychand Sondhiya was released on bail and the FIR in relation to alleged offence of gang-rape and others was delayed as it was lodged on 3rd day from the incident and there were contradictions and variations between the report and deposition given by the prosecutrix (PW-7) as to whether sexual intercourse was committed or not by present appellant Lalla.It was further contended that according to FIR, when appellant Lalla pressed mouth of the prosecutrix, then she was raped only by another co-accused Shivdayal, but prosecutrix (PW-7) deposed before the trial Court that firstly Shivdayal committed rape with her, thereafter present appellant Lalla also committed rape with her and at that time Shivdayal had caught hold her hands.It was also contended by the appellant's counsel that according to the medical report and evidence of lady doctor, no any injury was found on the private parts and body of the prosecutrix and thus lady doctor was unable to record any definite opinion regarding recent intercourse.Thus, it was prayed that appellant's custodial sentences be suspended.P.C had taken defence that he has been falsely implicated, but it was suggested by his counsel to the prosecutrix in her cross-examination (para-10) that she herself had invited both the accused persons and the incident had happened with her consent.Having taken into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and having gone through the evidence on record, but without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, we are not inclined to enlarge the appellant on bail, suspending his jail sentences.Hence, I.A No.15697/2016 is dismissed and closed.Office is directed to list the appeal for final hearing in due course keeping in view that the appellant has been undergoing the jail sentences.",['Section 450 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

incriminating materials found against himin the evidence of prosecution witnesses and the accused/appellants denied allof them as false.No witness was examined on the side of the defence and alsono document was marked.The trial court heard the arguments advanced and onconsideration of the evidence adduced, found the accused/appellants guilty andimposed imprisonment as stated in the earlier part of this Judgment.Hence,this appeal at the instance of the appellants.4.Advancing his arguments on behalf of the appellant, thelearned counsel for the appellant would raise the following points.(a)In the instant case, P.W.1, who is stated to be an eye-witnessand given Ex.P-22 complaint, has turned hospital and therefore Ex.P-22 was notin any way helpful to the prosecution case and in such circumstances it is notsafe to convict the appellants based on the solitary and uncorroboratedtestimony of P.W.2, who is the wife of the deceased Madasamy.(b)Learned counsel would further add that in the instant case, P.W.2has sustained injuries in the occurrence that has taken place at 'kanmoi', asper the statement given before P.W.3, the doctor, who examined P.W.2 and gavetreatment to her, but, according to the prosecution, the occurrence has takenplace near the well in the filed of the deceased Madasamy.He would furthersubmit that the distance between the field and the kanmoi is 1 k.m.and thus itwould be quite clear, according to P.W.2, she has sustained injuries not in theplace where Madasamy was attacked and therefore she could have witnessed theoccurrence in which her husband was attacked.(c)Added further, learned counsel submitted that in the instant caseP.W.2 has given categorical admission that they took the food at 7.00 a.m. asusual and went to the field for work and the occurrence has taken place at about8.00 a.m. and now as per P.W.3, the doctor, who conducted autopsy, the stomachwas empty and hence the medical evidence was contrary to the evidence of P.W.2and hence the occurrence would not have taken place at the time projected by theprosecution.He would further add that as a matter of fact, the Doctor hasdeposed that the deceased would have taken food 3 to 6 hours prior to his deathand therefore the time of death could not be the time as alleged by theprosecution.(d)It is the further submission of the learned counsel thataccording to P.W.2, before she was taken to the hospital, they went to thepolice station and informed the police about the incident but, the saidcomplaint has been suppressed by the prosecution which is fatal to theprosecution case.(e)Adding further, learned counsel would submit that the occurrencehas taken place at 8.00 a.m. on 20.02.2005, but the first information about theoccurrence has been given to the police only at 11.00 a.m. and in turn the FIRhas reached the Court only at 6.00 p.m. and there is delay in registering thecase as well as the FIR reaching the Court, which is fatal to the prosecutioncase.(f)Learned counsel therefore contended that the lower court has notconsidered the materials and the evidence of prosecution witnesses in properperspective and thus recorded an erroneous finding and therefore the appellantsare entitled for acquittal at the hands of this Court.5.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutorappearing for the respondent/State on the above contentions and paid its anxiousconsideration to the rival submissions made and carefully scrutnized thematerials on record.Further, this fact was neverquestioned by the appellants neither before the trial court nor before thisCourt and, therefor,e without impediment, it can be safely recorded thatMadasamy died due to homicidal violence.Insofar as P.W.1 is concerned, he turned hostileand P.W.5 is concerned, though she turned hostile, her evidence is available tothe prosecution as to the place of occurrence.Now, the only eye-witnessavailable was the evidence of P.W.2 and admittedly she is the wife of thedeceased.It is pertinent to point out that P.W.2 is an injured witness.In acase like this, when the witness happened to be an injured witness, unless anduntil strong circumstances or reasons are brought forth or noticed by the Court,it is settled position of law that the evidence of such witness need not bediscarded.In the instant case, according to P.W.2, in the course of sametransaction, immediately the deceased was attacked by accused Nos.1 and 2, wasattacked by both the accused and she sustained multiple injuries.She was takento the hospital by P.W.5 and P.W.7 to the Hospital and she was given treatmentby P.W.3, the doctor and the case came to be registered for the offencespunishable under Section 302 along with other provisions of Indian Penal Codeand the investigation was proceeded with and witnesses have been examined inthat regard.8.The first question would be whether there was any delay inthe registration of the case or in the FIR reaching the Court.The occurrencehad taken place at about 8.00 a.m. in the field of the deceased and leaving thebody of the deceased Madasamy in the field, P.W.2 was initially taken to P.W.3,the Government Doctor and thereafter on the advice of P.W.3, she was taken toTirunelveli Medical College Hospital, following which P.W.1 has proceeded to thepolice station and gave Ex.P-22 complaint before P.W.15, the Sub-Inspector ofPolice, who recorded the same at about 11.00 a.m. In the instant case, P.W.1has turned hostile.Though P.W.1 has turned hostile, merely because theinformant himself has turned hostile and did not support the prosecution case,it cannot be a reason to reject the evidence of P.W.2 who is an inured witness.(a)P.W.2 was actually present at the time of occurrence along withher husband, the deceased Madasamy and working in the field.The transaction has taken place nearthe well of the deceased Madasamy when he was working with his wife, P.W.2 andfrom the place of occurrence, bloodstained earth and sample earth have also beentaken and subjected to chemical analysis and found contained the same bloodgroup of the deceased.Apart from this, P.W.5, though turned hostile, in herevidence has stated that she saw the body of the deceased lying near the wellsituate in the field of Madasamy.10.In so far as the second contention that according to P.W.2,they went to the police station before she was taken to the hospital and theyinformed the police and therefore the first information given to the police hasbeen suppressed, the same has got to be rejected for two reasons.When P.W.2was taken to the hospital from the place of occurrence with injuries, she wasactually struggling for her life and she was under fear after seeing the deathof her husband.Under such circumstances, she would not have given anycomplaint to the police.Apart from this, there was no suggestion to the policethat P.W.2 gave another complaint and that has been suppressed.In suchcircumstances, there could not have been any other complaint except Ex.P-22 andhence there is no question of suppression of any other complaint.11.The other contention is that as per P.W.2 they took thefood at 7.00 a.m. and went to the field for work, but the opinion of thepostmortem doctor, P.W.3, was that the stomach was found empty at the time ofpostmortem and therefore the occurrence must have taken place prior to the timeprojected by the prosecution.P.W.2 is a rustic lady and she has added that to work in the field theyleave home at 7.00 a.m. itself.Now merely because such an answer was givenby P.W.2, that by itself would not, in the opinion of the court, shake thefabric of the prosecution case.From the evidence of P.W.5, though turnedhostile, it wold be available to the prosecution to the extent of place ofoccurrence and thus the prosecution has proved that the occurrence has takenplace in the field of Madasamy and P.W.2 was present and she has also beenattacked and she happened to be an injured witness and her evidence has inspiredthe confidence of the Court.12.Therefore, in the above circumstances, the prosecution hasproved its case beyond reasonable doubt that when P.W.2 and her husband, thedeceased Madasamy, were working in their field, the appellants/accused, armedwith weapons, have gone to the filed and attacked the deceased on his neck andcaused his instantaneous death and when it was questioned by P.W.2, accusedNo.1/appellant No.1 cut on her left cheek along with left ear and accusedNo.2/appellant No.2 cut on her left palm, in which P.W.2 lost her left thumb.Hence the Lower Court is perfectly correct in recording its findings as per thecharges and imposing punishments as detailed above.This Court is unable to seeany error factually or legally in the judgment of the trial court, which doesnot require any interference.13.Accordingly, the criminal appeal fails and the same isdismissed.1.The Principal Sessions Judge, Tirunelveli.2.I-Additional Sessions Judge, Tirunelveli.3.The Inspector of

+"Dipak Misra, J.In this appeal, the assail is to the judgment and order dated31.8.2009 passed by the High Court of Delhi in Criminal Appeal No. 417 of2001 whereby the Division Bench has dismissed the appeal while affirmingthe judgment and order dated 17.01.2001 of the learned Additional SessionsJudge, Delhi in Sessions Case No. 27 of 1998 whereunder the trial Court hadconvicted the appellant under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (forshort ""the I.P.C."") and sentenced him to suffer rigorous imprisonment forlife.Theparental home of the deceased was situated at a distance of half akilometer.On the fateful day i.e. 2.11.1997 about 11:00 p.m., Seema, PW-3, daughter of the deceased, aged about ten years, came running to thehouse of her grandfather Shivcharan, PW-8, and informed him as well asSatish, brother of the deceased, PW-1, that her father was threatening toburn her mother.The information compelled PWs 1 and 8 to rush to thehouse of the deceased and, as the factual matrix would show, PW-1, beingyoung in age, reached the house of his sister earlier than his father andfound his sister was burning and she told him that it was the accused-appellant who had put her ablaze by pouring kerosene.The brother pouredwater on the deceased in order to extinguish the fire and thereafter tookher to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where she could not be admitted due tolack of facility and thereafter they brought her to Safdarjung Hospitalwhere she was admitted.Despite availing treatment, she breathed her laston 3.11.1997 about noon.It is necessary to mention here that after thedeceased was taken by her father and brother to the hospital, twoneighbours, namely, Shanker Lal and Surender, PW-2 and PW-4 respectivelywent to the Police Station at Mangol Puri and gave the information aboutthe incident by DD-73 dated 2.11.1997 on the basis of which, the S.I.Vijender Singh, PW-21, went to the place of the occurrence where he met PW-3, the daughter of the deceased, and came to learn that her parents hadquarreled and her mother had suffered burn injuries and was taken to thehospital.As the prosecution case would further unfurl after thedeath took place they proceeded with the investigation, seized the burntclothes, a quilt, one plastic cane, one match-box and match stick and sentthe dead body for post mortem.The investigating agency in course ofinvestigation arrested the husband on 03.11.1997 and after recording thestatements of number of witnesses laid the chargesheet for the offencepunishable under Section 302 IPC before the competent Court, which in turncommitted the matter to the Court of Session and eventually it was tried bythe learned Additional Sessions Judge.The accused abjured his guilt and pleaded that he was not at home ashe had gone to his sister's place, Shyamwati, DW-1 at MJ-1/61, Vikas Puri,Delhi and claimed to be tried.The prosecution in order to substantiate the charges leveled againstthe accused person, examined as many as 21 witnesses and got number ofdocuments exhibited.On the basis of the ocular and the documentaryevidence, the learned trial Judge came to hold that the prosecution hadestablished the charge levelled against the accused to the hilt andaccordingly convicted him under Section 302, I.P.C and imposed the sentenceas has been stated hereinbefore.On an appeal being preferred, the High Court reappreciating theevidence and placing reliance on the oral dying declaration and thetestimony of the brother and further accepting the post mortem report foundthat the learned trial Judge had really not faulted in recording theconviction.Being of this view, it dismissed the appeal.We have heard Ms. Nupur Choudhary, Advocate (Amicus Curiae) for theappellant and Mr. W.A. Quadri, counsel for the State.It is submitted by Ms. Nupur Choudhary, learned Amicus Curiae thatthe learned trial Judge as well as the High Court has erroneously recordedthe conviction against the appellant though PW-3, the daughter of thedeceased, had not supported the case of the prosecution and she being theprincipal witness, the accused deserved to be acquitted.Mr. Quadri, learned counsel for the State, per contra, would contendthat though the daughter of the deceased, PW-3, has turned hostile yet herevidence cannot totally be brushed aside as both the prosecution and thedefence can rely on such parts of the testimony which are favourable tothem.To appreciate the rivalised submissions raised at the bar, we haveperused the judgments of the trial Court and the High Court with concernedanxiety and cautiously scrutinized the evidence on record.As we find,there are basically seven witnesses whose evidence are important, they areSatish, brother of the deceased, PW-1, Shivcharan, father of the deceased,PW-8, Dr. G.K. Chaubey, who conducted the post mortem, PW-5, Seema,daughter of the deceased, PW-3, Shanker Lal, PW-2 and Surender, PW-4 whoinformed the police at the first instance and Vijender Singh, PW-21, thesub-Inspector who recorded the statement.At this juncture, it isnecessary to mention that apart from PW-3, PWs 2, 4 and 8, were alsodeclared hostile by the prosecution and were cross-examined by the state.It was PW-3, the daughter of the deceased, whowitnessed the quarrel and rushed to the home of her grandparents.Thelearned trial Judge has put the relevant question to her to find outwhether she was in a position to understand the questions and depose inCourt.In her evidence, she had stated that on the fateful day about 11.00p.m.her mother was preparing food for the children and for the saidpurpose she was pouring kerosene oil in the stove as it was empty andthereafter when she tried to light the stove, the kerosene oil was notcoming from the nozzle of the stove, then the deceased inserted a pin inthe nozzle and the oil sprinkled on her and in the process she caught fire.On being declared hostile, she was cross-examined.It is relevant to notehere that she has first deposed that she was not aware who had removed hermother to the hospital and thereafter changed her stand stating that heruncle had removed her mother.As her testimony would show she has notmentioned whereabouts of her father at the time of the incident.Herignorance about how the mother was shifted to the hospital shows that asthe High Court has correctly analysed, she has not spoken anything abouther father in order to protect him.Keeping in abeyance whether the pleaof alibi taken by the accused is proven or not to be dealt with at a laterstage, we think it apposite to scan the evidence of other witnesses.PW-1,the brother of the accused, has unequivocally deposed that after gettingthe information from Seema, PW-3, his father and he rushed to the house ofthe deceased.As is evincible from the testimony, he reached the house ofthe sister first and found she was burning and she told him that hisbrother-in-law had poured kerosene and put her ablaze.She has also statedthat the children should not be given to the accused.He has, in detail,spoken about going to the hospital and how the site plan was prepared andthe items were seized in presence of the witnesses.In the cross-examination, no suggestion has been given about the absence of husband inthe house, contrivance of the dying declaration by him or anything whichwould create a dent in his testimony.What has been sought to be broughtin the cross-examination is that no one was present in the room of thedeceased and certain other questions which have nothing to do with theincident.It has been suggested to him that his sister and the accused hadkept Rs.90,000/- with his father, PW-8, for purchasing a house and as theyrefused to return the money, they had, getting an opportunity, falselyimplicated the accused.It has also come out in the cross-examination thatthe accused was a habitual drinker and gambler and his family was supportedby the in-laws.""Superficial to deep burn injury over all the body surface area including scalp, skin peeled off at various places, margins red underneath tissues bright red and there was blackening of skin over various area.Skin was peeled off at soles, but not at palms.Venisection at left leg above medial malleolus was present.""It was 100 per cent antemortem deep burns.Internal examination revealed that Larynx contained soot particles and rest of the organs were found to be congested.""In the cross-examination he has categorically denied the suggestionthat the injuries received by the deceased could have been sustainedbecause of kerosene oil from the stove fell on her body due to the pinningof the stove and also by fall of a tin of kerosene oil on the floor.Hehas deposed without any equivocation that the burn injuries sustained bythe deceased were not possible due to accidental burns.The High Court hastaken note of the FSL Report, Ext. PW 20/B, from which it is evident thatthe analysis by gas liquid chromatography showed, kerosene oil residueswere found on the scalp hair of the deceased.It is apt to note that thepresence of kerosene on the scalp hair of the deceased and presence of dustparticles in the larynx of the deceased clearly evince that kerosene oilwas poured on the skull of the deceased which could not have happened byaccident.The testimony of the daughter, Seema, PW-3, a young girl of tenyears that the kerosene oil accidentally spilled on the body of her motheris thus absolutely unbelievable.The use which the defence can make of the medicalevidence is to prove that the injuries could not possibly have been causedin the manner alleged and thereby discredit the eye-witnesses.Unless,however the medical evidence in its turn goes so far that it completelyrules out all possibilities whatsoever of injuries taking place in themanner alleged by eyewitnesses, the testimony of the eye-witnesses cannotbe thrown out on the ground of alleged inconsistency between it and themedical evidence.It is also true that the post-mortem report by itself isnot a substantive piece of evidence, but the evidence of the doctorconducting the post-mortem can by no means be ascribed to be insignificant.The significance of the evidence of the doctor lies vis--vis the injuriesappearing on the body of the deceased person and likely use of the weaponand it would then be the prosecutor's duty and obligation to have thecorroborative evidence available on record from the other prosecutionwitnesses.It is also an accepted principle that sufficient weightageshould be given to the evidence of the doctor who has conducted the post-mortem, as compared to the statements found in the textbooks, but givingweightage does not ipso facto mean that each and every statement made by amedical witness should be accepted on its face value even when it is self-contradictory.Such an opinionshall be tested by the Court.That apart,it would be erroneous to accord undue primacy to the hypothetical answersof medical witnesses to exclude the eyewitnesses' account which are to betested independently and not treated as the 'variable' keeping the medicalevidence as the 'constant'.As per the evidence of thebrother, Satish, PW-1, he after reaching the place of occurrence found hissister ablaze and she had stated that her husband has poured kerosene onher and put her ablaze.But once the prosecution succeeds in discharging the burden it is incumbent on the accused, who adopts the plea of alibi, to prove it with absolute certainty so as to exclude the possibility of his presence at the place of occurrence.When the presence of the accused at the scene of occurrence has been established satisfactorily by the prosecution through reliable evidence, normally the court would be slow to believe any counter- evidence to the effect that he was elsewhere when the occurrence happened.But if the evidence adduced by the accused is of such a quality and of such a standard that the court may entertain some reasonable doubt regarding his presence at the scene when the occurrence took place, the accused would, no doubt, be entitled to the benefit of that reasonable doubt.Applying the aforesaid test, we have to x-ray the evidence on record.The father of the deceased, PW-8, has stated in categorical terms that

That, for the same incident three FIRs should not have been registered, therefore, the subsequent two complaints should be investigated with the first FIR without registering separate second and third FIR.8/ So far as the first ground relating to registering the 3 FIRs is concerned, the record reflects that all the three FIRs have been registered at Police Station Betma.Accordingly, the FIR was instituted in which the name of the petitioners figure as accused.No such agreements have been mentioned in the FIR.The said report has been produced by counsel for the State in the sealed cover and on the opening of the sealed cover, it is found that in respect of Crime No.448/2016, 449/2016 and 447/2016 registered at Police Station Betma, an enquiry was conducted by the SDOP, Depalpur and he has submitted three separate reports even dated 5.6.2017 to the Dy.Inspector General of Police, Indore.In the enquiry he had found that the petitioners Taranjeet Singh Hora and Harmans Singh Hora had not committed any offence and Phoenix Infra had entered into an agreement with the prospective purchasers and received the amount, but the amount was kept with themselves and no amount was paid to AR Town Developers, therefore, Phoenix Infra had not only cheated the complainants but had also cheated AR Town Developers, therefore, the names of Taranjeet Singh Hora and Harmans Singh Hora should be deleted from the list of accused.31 MCRC Nos.18921/17, 19005/17 & 19016/17Ms. Archana Kher, learned counsel for the respondent/State.","['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 467 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 406 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 409 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 465 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"As prayed by learned counsel for the parties, heard them finally.The applicants have challenged the order dated 13.12.2012 passed by the lerned Additional Sessions Judge to First Additional Sessions Judge, Hoshangabad in ST No.347/2011 whereby the charges of offence punishable under Sections 147, 148, 307 read with Section 149, 324 read with section 149, 323 read with Section 149 and 294 of I.P.C were framed against the applicants.The prosecution's case in short is that the complainant had lodged on FIR on 24.2.2011 against three accused persons in which name of the applicants was not mentioned.Thereafter, their names were added in the statements of the various witnesses under Section 161 of Cr.P.C.After considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, it appears that the learned counsel for the applicants challenges the impugned order on the two important counts.Firstly, names of the applicants were not mentioned in the FIR.However, at present no appreciation of evidence can be done at this stage and therefore, the evidence given by the various witnesses under Section 161 of Cr.P.C cannot be brushed aside at this stage.So far as the charge under Section 307 of I.P.C is concerned, it is true that there are five persons who assaulted the victim Mukendra Singh.The victim Mukendra Singh sustained three injuries.One was a lengthy incised wound on the cheek upto the ear, one lacerated wound in the skull whereas, one incised wound on right hand.Looking to the injuries, it cannot be said that the applicants were intended to kill the victim Mukendra Singh.Similarly there was no evidence to show that Mukendra Singh sustained any fatal injury.Under Such circumstances, no ingredient of offence punishable under Section 307 of I.P.C is visible from the injuries caused to Mukendra Singh and therefore, no offence punishable under 307 of I.P.C. Is constituted for the victim Mukendra Singh.However, looking to his injury no.1 which is a very lengthy injury from cheek to the ear , it is clear that it must have caused disfiguration to him and therefore, instead of offence punishable under Section 307 of I.P.C, offence punishable under Section 326 of I.P.C is constituted.On the basis of the aforesaid discussion, the revision filed by the applicants can be partly allowed and therefore, it is partly allowed.The impugned order dated 13.12.2012 is hereby set aside for the charge under Section 307 read with section 149 of I.P.C against all the accused persons.Instead of that charge the charge under Section 326 or 326 read with section 149 of I.P.C shall be framed against the accused persons.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No.73 of 2009 379 IPC read with section 136 of Electricity Act 2003 against unknown persons.Police prepared Spot Map Ex.P-10 and also made seizure memo Ex.P-8 of the cover of the transformer on the spot.Police Station Raisen submitted a charge sheet against the appellants.Trial Court framed charges under section 379 IPC read with Section 136, Electricity Act against the appellants.Appellants abjured guilt.To substantiate case of the prosecution, statements of Habib Mohd. (PW-1), Makanlal Pawar, Lineman (PW-2), Sharad Chandra Banchode, Assistant Engineer (PW-3), and T.P. Tripathi, ASI (PW-4) were recorded.Defence of the appellants in trial court was that of false implication.After appreciating aforesaid evidence, Trial Court convicted and sentenced the appellants as above.This appeal has been preferred by the appellants on the grounds that appreciation of evidence is not proper.Evidence of prosecution witnesses are suffering from material contradictions and omissions.Evidence of recovery is not reliable and unconvincing.Conviction is based on insufficient and doubtful evidence.On the other hand, learned Panel Lawyer supported the findings of conviction and sentence both.Makanlal, Lineman (PW-2) stated appellants were arrested on 30/07/2007 and on the basis of the information furnished by them, police made recovery.T.P. Tripathi, ASI (PW-4) stated that on the basis of information furnished by the appellants, copper wire has been recovered from Kabad shop.It is submitted by learned counsel for the appellants that during investigation appellants have already suffered custody period of about 8 days in this matter.No direct recovery has been proved by the police against them.No other such incident has been reported against them during pendency of the appeal.No useful purpose would be served in sending the appellants back to jail.Cr.A. No.73 of 2009For offence under section 379 IPC read with section 136 of Electricity Act 2003 undergone jail sentence of 8 days seems to be just, proper and sufficient, if fine amount is enhanced.For offence under section 379 IPC read with section 136 of Electricity Act 2003, 8 days undergone jail sentence and fine of Rs.3000/- seems to be just and proper and will meet the ends of justice.",['Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Shri R.T. Thanewala, learned counsel for the objector.This is a petition under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short 'The Code') praying for quashment of F.I.R bearing crime no.627/2015 dated 03/09/2015, registered at police-station Madhav Nagar, District Ujjain for offences under Sections 306/34 of IPC and consequent proceedings taken up in S.T.

No.128/2016 was quashed, on a petition preferred by co-accused Dilip and Madhu Gupta.It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that on the basis of same allegations in the same case, trial for offence under Section 306 of IPC is still going on against petitioner Subhash Yadav.C. No.10306/2016 2Though the prayer is not opposed by the learned Public Prosecutor, however, the learned counsel for the objector, Asha Rani-wife of deceased Gyaneshwar Prasad Mittal, has strongly opposed the prayer for quashment.It is submitted that earlier, Cr.R. No.904/2016, preferred by the petitioner before this Court against the order of framing charge was dismissed, on 26/07/2016, as withdrawn, therefore, identical prayer for quashment cannot be entertained under Section 482 of 'The Code'.Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.The law is well settled that the jurisdiction of this Court under Section 482 of 'The Code' is wide enough and that if the proceedings are going to result in abuse of process of the Court, then the high Court in exercise of powers under Section 482 of 'The Code' can quash such proceedings and nothing will come in the way.No doubt, the revision preferred by the petitioner against charge was dismissed as withdrawn by this Court vide order dated M.Cr.C. No.10306/2016 3 26/07/2016, however, thereafter another petition being Cr.R.

+"Prosecution case in brief is that on 21.07.1993 the deceased Chandanlal (Forest Guard) with Vijendra Kumar, Abdul Hamid and others were patrolling in the Kanha Reserve Forest (Project Tiger).At about 7:00 p.m., they found 15 to 20 persons assembled there 2 for hunting the animals.They had axes, traps, utensils and clothes.After seeing the patrolling party, the appellants fled away from the spot leaving the aforesaid articles.Chandanlal (since deceased) and his team members took articles left by the appellants at their Chowki.After sometime, the appellants about 15 to 20 persons attacked at the Chowki (sauf-naka).They assaulted Chandanlal by an axe and sticks.His team members Vijendra Kumar and Abdul Hamid (Forest Guards) climbed on the tree to save themselves.They saw, the appellants inflicting the injuries to Chandanlal.The appellants took their articles from the Chowki and fled away from the spot.Another Officer R.N. Awasthy (PW-6) brought Chandanlal to the Hospital, Mocha.Doctor declared him dead and conducted autopsy of his body.The said fact is also unchallenged in their testimony.Hence, at the time of the incident, the presence of Abdul Hamid (PW-2) and Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) are found reliable.Both the witnesses stated that they were on patrolling duty.They found that some persons were gathered and talking together in the Kanha Reserve Forest.They had axes, traps, utensils and clothes.After seeing the patrolling party, the appellants fled away from the spot leaving the aforesaid articles.Therefore, Chandanlal (since deceased) and his team members took the aforesaid articles with them at the outpost (Chowki), Saufnaka.After sometime, the appellants about 15 to 20 persons attacked at their outpost (Chowki).They assaulted Chandanlal by axes and sticks, at that time Abdul Hamid (PW-2) and Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) climbed on the tree to save themselves.They witnessed the incident.They saw that the appellants took their articles from the outpost (Chowki) and fled away from the spot.Then they went to the spot and brought Chandanlal to outpost (Chowki).They saw Chandanlal sustained several injuries.He was bleeding from his head.His condition was critical.Their Officer R.N. Awasthy and staff personnel also came there.R.N. Awasthy (PW-6), who was Range Officer received wireless message about the incident and thereafter, he came to the 5 spot.(29/01/2018) Per : Smt. Anjuli Palo, J :-Appellants/accused persons have filed this appeal against the judgment dated 04.07.1998 passed by the Second Additional Sessions Judge, Mandla in Sessions Trial No.85/95 whereby the appellants were convicted under Section 302 read with Section 149 and Section 353 read with Section 148 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to life imprisonment with fine of Rs.100/- each.FIR was lodged by R.N. Awasthy (PW-6) against the appellants for the offences under Sections 353, 147, 148 and 302 read with 149 of I.P.C. After due investigation, charge- sheet was filed before the concerned Court.After committal of the case, charges under Section 302 read with Section 149 and Section 353 read with Section 148 of the Indian Penal Code has been framed by the learned Trial Court against the appellants.Appellants abjured guilt and stated that they are innocent and falsely implicated by the police in this case.Findings of the learned trial Court are challenged by the appellants on the grounds that the trial Court has wrongly appreciated the evidence on record and failed to see that the alleged story of the prosecution is solely based on the ""Dock Identification"" and on the memorandum and seizure which were not proved by the prosecution.Further the prosecution witnesses have not supported the prosecution story.There are so many lacunae in the prosecution case, hence, the appellants deserve to be acquitted.Heard learned counsel for the parties at length and perused the record.Abdul Hamid (PW-2) and Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) are the eye witnesses to the incident.Their testimonies with regard to the posting of the deceased on the date of incident, i.e. 21.07.1993 as Forest Guard at Kanha Reserve Forest Area is not challenged by the 4 appellants.Along with the Deceased-Chandanlal, Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) and Abdul Hamid (PW-2) were also on duty.He brought Chandanlal to the hospital, but on the way Chandanlal died.Bachchu @ Pappu (PW-7) and Rameshwar (PW-1) partly corroborated the testimony of above witnesses with regard to the injuries sustained by Chandanlal and presence of Abdul Hamid (PW-2), Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) and R.N. Awasthy (PW-6) at the scene of occurrence.They turned hostile but their testimony which supported the prosecution story, can be used for the corroboration.After considering the above evidence which establish that Chandanlal was assaulted by the accused persons who were present in the forest for hunting or committing illegal act which is punishable under the provisions of the Forest Act. It has also been established from the evidence brought on record that they had an intention to obstruct the Forest Guards to restrain them from prohibiting the offence.The articles seized from the possession of the accused persons also indicate their intention to commit the offence.Learned counsel for the appellants contended that the identification of the appellants for involvement in the crime has not been proved beyond the reasonable doubt.He has also urged that at the time of the incident, the number of culprits and darkness on the spot creates reasonable doubt in favour of the appellants.K.C. Bopte (PW-10), Naib Tahsildar deposed that on 07.08.1993 he conducted identification parade of the appellants at Sub-Jail, Mandla and prepared memo (Ex.P/2) which was signed by witnesses Vijendra, Abdul Hameed and Ganga Prasad.During identification parade, 28 persons were added with the appellants.In his presence appellants Samlu, Naval, Munna, Deepu, Boda, Rattu, Gareeba, Premlal, Pansari, Chamru and Subbal were properly identified by Vijendra, Abdul Hameed and Ganga Prasad.On 29.09.1993 the appellants Shankar and Veershay were identified by Abdul Hamid and Ganga Prasad in between 12 persons.In cross- examination, they failed to explain that who were joined with the appellants for identification parade.Abdul Hameed (PW-2) corroborated the testimony of K.C. Bopte (PW-10), Naib Tahsildar.He admitted his signatures (Ex.P/2 and P/3).Similarly, Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) also corroborated the testimony of K.C. Bopte (PW-10), Naib Tahsildar.Learned counsel for the appellants submits that both the witnesses are tutored witnesses.They falsely stated against the appellants.Hence, there is necessity to scrutinize the testimony of Abdul Hameed (PW-2) and Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) with great caution because incident took place at about 7.00 p.m. In cross-examination, in para 16 Abdul Hameed (PW-2) stated that he heard some noise then both of them (he and Vijendra) climbed on the tree.He failed to explain 7 number of culprits who came on the spot for assaulting Chandanlal.He said about 10-15 persons came there, but he did not say, who caught hold the deceased, who caught hold Ganga Prasad, who beaten them and who was searching the articles.In para 18, again he submitted that the place of the incident was 50 to 60 feet away from them.Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) also deposed that his camp and that of the deceased Chandanlal were situated in opposite direction and when the persons attacked on the deceased-Chandanlal's camp, immediately, he climbed on the tree which was at the other camp.That tree was very dense.The statement of Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) creates reasonable doubt that in such a situation, they are not able to see exactly the assailants in dark and from some distinct place.In para 17, he stated that identification parade was conducted at Panchayat house but Abdul Hameed (PW-2) and K.C. Bopte (PW-10), Naib Tahsildar deposed that identification parade was held at Sub-Jail, Mandla.Vijendra Kumar (PW-9) also stated that he signed without reading identification memo (Ex.P/2).Prosecution examined Ganga Prasad (PW-15) as an eyewitness but he turned hostile.He stated that he identified Chamaru, Dukali and Munna only.In para 5, he stated that he did not remember how many persons identified by him. 8After considering of the above facts, we find that the evidence of identification parade and identification of the appellants are not sufficiently proved against the appellants.There is a reasonable doubt in favour of the appellants.L.S. Kashyap (PW-19), In-charge Police Station deposed that he recorded the memorandum of appellants Dhaniram, Subbal, Gariba, Naval, Munna, Premlal, Bhiku, Samlu, Rattu, Pansari, Boda, Veershay and Shankar and recovered incriminating articles as stated earlier.But panch witnesses Chadamilal (PW-18), Ramgopal (PW-17), Chhidilal (PW-11) and Puranlal (PW-8) turned hostile.Similarly, Anurag Das (PW-5) did not support the prosecution story and testimony of Investigating Officer.Therefore, the proceeding of memorandum of the appellants and seizure of incriminating articles from their possession are not duly established by the prosecution.The alleged charges are not proved beyond reasonable doubt against the appellants.Even though, Dr. B.K. Chaturvedi (PW-3) supported the prosecution story that Chandanlal died due to fatal injury of his head and chest as shown in postmortem report (Ex.P/4).But the prosecution failed to prove that the injuries were caused by the 9 appellants in furtherance of their common object to commit the murder of the deceased as a member of unlawful assembly.Under these circumstances, we are of the opinion that learned trial Court wrongly convicted the appellants on the basis of weak type of evidence.Hence, they are entitled to be acquitted.Accordingly, the appeal is allowed.The impugned judgment of conviction and sentence is hereby set aside and the appellants are acquitted of the offences.Other remaining appellants are on bail.Their bail bonds stand discharged.Copy of this judgment be sent to the Court below for information and compliance alongwith its record.","['Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 353 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"In support of the said charges, the prosecution examined P. Ws. 1 to 4, and marked exhibits P-1 to P-58, and, on behalf of the defence, one Gurusami, Fourth Income-tax Officer, City Circle III, Madras-6, was examined as D.W. - 1 and exhibits D-1 to D-6 were marked.The case of the complainant, the appellant herein, is that the respondent herein/accused is doing business in the name and style of Messrs. Rajasekaran and Co., and he is an income-tax assessee.The balance-sheet and profit and loss account were also filed along with the return.In the balance-sheet, he has shown a sum of Rs. 2,53,498.92 as due to sundry creditors on the liabilities side.In the schedule to the balance-sheet for the sundry creditors, a sum of Rs. 1,05,000 was shown as due to Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd., while actually it was an amount received as commission in June, 1975, and it was not an advance or loan.In an enquiry by the Department with Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd., it was revealed that Messrs. Rajasekaran and Company was actually paid a commission of Rs. 1,05,000 in June, 1975, itself by cheque for the services rendered by them.Thus, it is clear that the accused, with a view to avoid payment of lawful dues to the Government, intentionally fabricated his account books relating to the assessment years 1976-77 and 1978-79 by deliberately suppressing the commission receipt of Rs. 1,05,000 from Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd., for the assessment year 1976-77, and falsely showing it as if it was income for the assessment year 1978-79 with the intention to use them as genuine evidence in the course of the income-tax assessment proceedings.In addition, he has wilfully made false verification in the returns of income for those years.JUDGMENT K.M. Natarajan, J.These two appeals are directed by the offences under sections 193 and 196, Indian Penal Code, and for nor awarding the minimum sentence as per law for the offence under sections 276C and 277 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, in E.O.C.C. No. 2222 of 1982 by the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (Economic Offences II), Madras.The respondent in both the appeals, who is the accused in the case, was prosecuted by the Income-tax Department under six charges - the first charge is under section 420 read with section 511, Indian Penal Code; the second charge is under section 193, Indian Penal Code, read with section 136 of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the third charge is under section 196, Indian Penal Code, read with section 136 of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the fourth charge is under section 276C of the Income-tax Act, 1961; the fifth charge is under section 277 of the Income-tax Act, 1961, and the sixth charge is also under section 277 of the Income-tax Act, on the allegations that the accused has intentionally fabricated his account books relating to the income-tax assessment years 1976-77 and 1978-79 by deliberately suppressing the commission receipt of Rs. 1,05,000 from Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd. for the assessment year 1976-77 and falsely showing the same as income for the assessment year 1978-79 with a view to defraud the exchequer of its legitimate revenue, and deliberately delivered false returns of income and statements of accounts based on the abovesaid fabricated account books and thereby attempting to mislead the Income-tax officer and dishonestly inducing him to deliver the assessment orders relating to the above assessment years, computing the total income at a considerably lower figure than that to which he is properly assessable, and acting and relying on the aforesaid fabricated account books and false returns of income and statements for the aforesaid income-tax assessment years.Hence the complaint.Four witnesses were examined on the side of the complainant.P.W. - 1 is the Income-tax Officer.He has deposed in support of the allegations stated in the complaint.Through him, the income-tax return, exhibit P-1, received from the accused for the assessment year 1976-77, exhibit P-3, the statement of accounts signed by Thiru G. Venkatesan, chartered accountant of Messrs. Venkatesh and Co., exhibit P-2, the trading and profit and loss account for the year ended March 31, 1976, exhibit P-4, schedule to balance-sheet as on March 31, 1976, about sundry creditors and sundry debts, exhibit P-5, statement of total income for the year ending March 31, 1976, and exhibit P-6, power of attorney in favour of Messrs. Venkatesh and Co., were marked.He then issued exhibit P-7 letter to Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd. inquiring whether they have deposited the said amount with the accused-company on June 27, 1975, and to furnish details of commission payments made by them.The debit note dated June 26, 1975, exhibit P-18, sent by Thiru T.K. Vaidyanathan, Regional Accountant of Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd., showed that the accused was paid a commission of Rs. 1,05,000 as final settlement for the services rendered by the accused concern in canvassing for the sale of 50 marine engines to Kerala Fisheries Department and the said amount was paid by way of cheque.According to him, at page 127 of exhibit P-31, ledger containing an account for Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd., there was an entry for a receipt of Rs. 1,05,000 on June 27, 1975, by cheque No. 086581 on Grindlays bank without any narration to the effect that the same was account.But there is no account for commission receipt.The correspondence between the accused-company and Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd. were also filed.A sworn statement, exhibit P-45, was recorded from the accused on February 21, 1979, in which the accused has clarified that he had no other business with Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd. excepting the commission of Rs. 1,05,000 and that the receipt of the amount was shown as deposit and it was a mistake.P.W. - 2, S.K. Kandasami, Income-tax Officer, deposed that he recorded sworn statements, exhibits P-50 and P-55, from P. W. 3, T. K. Vaidyanathan, Regional Accountant of Messrs. Greaves cotton and Co. Ltd. P.W. - 3 deposed about his giving statements to P.W. - 2 and production of documents.The accused was examined under section 313, Criminal Procedure Code.He would further state that the returns were prepared by the auditor and he merely signed in a routine way.Thereupon, charges were framed and the accused pleaded not guilty to the charges.One witness was examined on the side of the accused.D.W. - 1, S. Gurusami, is the Fourth Income-tax Officer, City Circle III, Madras, and it is his evidence that, in the original assessment order for the year 1978-79, which was marked as exhibit D-4, a sum of Rs. 1,05,000 received by way of commission from Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd. has been fully assessed to income Messrs. Greaves Cotton and Co. Ltd. has been fully assessed to income-tax.Because the accused disclosed this amount as income for the year 1978-79, it was assessed for that year.The trial judge framed three points for consideration, namely :-As regards the first point, the trial judge held that the Income-tax Officer is not a court within the meaning of section 195, Criminal Procedure Code, and, consequently held that the complaint under sections 193 to 196 of the Indian Penal Code has to fail.As regards points Nos. 2 and 3, the trial judge held that the charges under section 276C and 277 of the Income-tax Act have been proved.Applying the ratio in the above-quoted decisions to the facts of this case, it is seen that the offence is said to have been committed in the year 1976-77 and the order of acquittal was passed in 1984, and no useful purpose would be served by ordered re-trial at this length of time especially when the respondent has already undergone imprisonment till the rising of the court and paid the fine in respect of the offences committed in connection with the same transaction.","['Section 193 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 109 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"In brief the case of the prosecution is that in the after noon of 18-9-1992 the prosecutrix who is an innocent child of 6 years, was accompanying her mother, lateron her mother Kusum Bai, as she was walking little fast proceed ahead, later on the prosecutrix came to her, she was weeping.The mother noticed that the private part of the prosecutrix is stained by blood and blood was squeezing, on being asked, she said that appellant committed this hateful sin.The mother of the prosecutrix approached the appellant and asked why he has done such a sin, in reply when he denied, the mother of the prosecutrix snatched the towel which he was wearing and found the blood stains on his underwear.JUDGMENT A.K. Shrivastava, J.By this appeal preferred under Section 374 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, the appellant has challenged the judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 9-3-1999 passed by 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Shivpuri in Sessions Trial No. 187/92 whereby he has been convicted under Section 376(2), IPC and has been sentenced to suffer R.I. of 10 years and fine Rs. 5000/-, in default further R.I. of one year.The mother of the prosecutrix narrated the incident to her husband and thereafter alongwith Chaukidar they went to lodge the report on the same day, i.e., 18-9-2002 at 5 p.m. The first information report is Ex. P-6 which was lodged by Brakhlal (P.W. 4).On lodging the FIR criminal law was set in motion.The prosecutrix was immediately sent for medical examination and she was examined on the same date, i.e., 18-9-2002 by Dr. Veena (P.W. 1).In furtherance to his investigation, the Investigating Officer arrested the accused, seized his undergarments, as well as that of the prosecutrix, recorded the statement of the witnesses and after completion of the investigation, a charge-sheet was submitted in the Competent Court, who on its turn committed the case to the Court of Sessions and from where it was received by the Trial Court for the trial.The learned Trial Judge after perusing the charge-sheet framed charge punishable under Section 376, IPC.Needless to emphasis the appellant abjured his guilt.His defence is of maladroit implication.In order to prove the charge, prosecution examined as many as 9 witnesses and placed Exs. P-1 to P-17 the documents on record.In his defence the accused/appellant did not choose to examine any witness.The learned Trial Judge after X-raying the evidence came to hold that appellant did not commit the offence punishable under Section 376(2), IPC and eventually convicted him and passed the sentence which I have mentioned hereinabove.Hence, this appeal.In this appeal Shri Sanjay Gupta was appointed as amicus curiae and I must mention here that he has placed all the arguments possible in the case.According to her, the appeal sans substance and same be dismissed.After having heard the learned Counsel for both the parties, I am of the view that this appeal deserves to be dismissed.At the outset, I think it germane to discuss the evidence of the prosecutrix because it is well settled in law that in a case falling under Section 376, IPC no corroboration is required and the sole testimony of prosecutrix is to be seen and if it is found to be worth reliable, a conviction can be passed on the basis of her sole testimony.On the basis of this backdrop I shall now consider the evidence of the prosecutrix.On that date she was 10 years.The learned Trial Judge after putting certain questions to her came to hold that she understand the questions and is able to answer and thereafter she was examined.In her evidence the prosecutrix says that the appellant took her away at a well and lay over her, at that time he was wearing a shirt and a towel.She further says that she was wearing a panty, the appellant thereafter took off her panty and also opened the knot of his towel thereafter she narrated that how the appellant intercoursed with her.After the commission of the offence the prosecutrix narrated the incident to her mother.Lateron she was taken to the hospital.This child witness (prosecutrix) was cross-examined at length but she remained embedded in her version.On minutely scrutinizing the evidence of this witness only, singular inference is gathered that the appellant who at the relevant point of time was more than 18 years just to satisfy his dirty thirst committed such a vile sin and ravished a feme-sole who had seen only 6 springs.On going through the evidence of the prosecutrix, it is perceivable that on committing such a hateful act, the blood came out from her private part and it was squeezing when the innocent prosecutrix reported the incident to her mother.The evidence of the prosecutrix in this regard has been corroborated by the evidence of her mother Kusum Bai (P.W. 3), who had specifically said that the prosecutrix came to her, she was weeping.She noticed that the blood was squeezing from her private part and her last cloth of the body (panty) was stained by blood.On being asked by her, the prosecutrix said that this shameful act was done by the accused/appellant, as a result of which she went at the spot where the appellant was sitting and asked him why he has done this hateful act and on being denied by him, she snatched the towel which he was wearing and noticed that the undergarment of the appellant was also stained by blood.Smt. Kusum Bai, immediately narrated the incident to her husband Brakhlal (P.W. 1) and thereafter they went to lodge the FIR.The evidence of the prosecutrix is fully corroborated, by the medical evidence.The lady doctor Veena Kumar (P.W. 1) on examining the prosecutrix found her hymen to be torned and there was swelling.The blood was coming out from her vagina.","['Section 376(2) in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"ORDER J.K. Maheshwari, J.This petition has been filed assailing the order dated 9.3.2000 passed by respondent No. 3 by which on revocation of the suspension, a direction was issued for non-payment of the salary for such period except the subsistence allowance along with a direction to count such period permissible for the purpose of pension.Because the petitioner was under detention for more than 48 hours, therefore, as per order dated 13.10.1996, he was placed under suspension.Vide order dated 29.11.1996 passed by this Court in M.Cr.C. No. 3399/96, petitioner was released on bail.Thereafter, the trial has resulted into acquittal as per judgment dated 31.8.1998 (Annexure-A/5).Some of the accused persons were convicted for the same offence but the petitioner was acquitted.Arising out of the judgment passed on 31.8.1998, two appeals were preferred.One appeal Cr.A. No. 1049/98 was preferred on behalf of the convicted accused persons and another Cri.A. No. 1345/98 was preferred on behalf of the State Government against petitioner Kanhaiyalal.The appeal filed on behalf of the convicted accused persons was allowed and the appeal filed by the State Government against the petitioner was rejected.In such a circumstance, it is apparent that the criminal prosecution lodged against the petitioner resulted into acquittal as per the order passed by the Sessions Court on 31.8.1998 and affirmed by the High Court.However, on conclusion of the trial petitioner ought to be reinstated on revocation of suspension.It is further submitted by him that filing of the appeal against the order of acquittal passed by the Sessions Court against him having no consequences in revocation of suspension.Respondents have filed their return and tried to justify their action.By filing the return, it is stated that because the order dated 31.8.1998 passed by the learned Sessions Court acquitting the petitioner was under challenge before the High Court in Cr.A. No. 1345/98 and the final order was passed in Cr.

As against the same, the said Alexander Joseph filed a revision petition in Crl.After these long years i.e., from 2003, after the period of 14 years, the second respondent lodged a false complaint as against the petitioners and the same has been registered in Crime No.282 of 2017, which is impugned in this petition.Further he submitted that the entire transaction completely civil in nature and even from the FIR, there is no offence made out as against the petitioners, since they are bonafied purchasers, according to the Investigating Officer, CBCID, Puducherry.Therefore, he prayed for quashment of FIR.The second respondent/defacto complainant has two ancestral properties, one is bearing old No.3/New No.5, Faracis Martin Street, Puducherry and another one is bearing Old No.10/New No.12, Faracishttp://www.judis.nic.in 5 Martin Street, Puducherry.One Joseph Raj claimed title over the properties by way of forged partition deed dated 12.11.1914, by which he executed forged sale deed vide document No.3435 of 2002 in favour of one S.Koulanthini, who in turn executed a sale deed vide document No.2165 of 2003 in favour of the petitioners.Therefore the petitioners have purchased the said property knowing fully well aware that their vendor S.Koulanthini does not have title over the property.The learned counsel appearing for the second respondent further submitted that the petitioners have filed a suit in O.S.No.374 of 2007 before the learned Principal District Munsif, Puducherry as against the second respondent and his bother.In the said suit no notice was served on the second respondent and subsequently an exparte decree granted by the learned Principal District Munsif, Puducherry and hence it does not bind on the second respondent.The second respondent had preferred a complaint before the District Registrar, Government of Puducherry for holding enquiry under Section 75(4) of Registration Act, 1908 and after conducting enquiry the Registrar passed an order dated 05.10.2015, thereby cancelled the sale deed executed in favour of the said S.Koulanthini and also subsequent sale deed executed in favour of the petitioners herein, as against which the petitioners filed a writ petition before this Court and the same is pending.He further submitted that there are specific allegations as against the petitioners to attract the offence under Sections 147, 148, 448, 294(b), 506(ii), 468, 471, 420 of IPC r/w 149 of IPC.Further, it is in the FIR stage and though civil suitshttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 are pending, there is no impediment to the second respondent/defacto complainant to initiate the criminal proceedings as against the petitioners.Therefore, he sought for dismissal of the quash petition.Due to his official occupation, the defacto complainant could not able to visit his properties and using this opportunity, the accused persons created forged notarial sale deed and claimed that one Joseph Raj is the owner of the said property by way of partition deed dated 12.11.1914, through which the said Joseph Raj executed sale deed in favour of one S.Koulanthini, who in turn sold out the property to the petitioners herein.He further submitted that on 21.12.2017, when the second respondent/defacto complainant went to his properties and started cleaning work, the accused persons tried to trespass into his land, abused him with filthy language and assaulted him and also threatened with dire consequences.Hence, he prayed for dismissal of the quash petition.Heard Mr.N.R.Elango, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners, Mr.V.Balamurugane, learned Additional Public Prosecutor (Pondy) appearing for the first respondent and Mr.Prakash Adiapadam, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent.The petitioners are arraigned as A5 and A6 in Crime No.282 of 2017, registered for the offences under Sections 147, 148, 448, 294(b), 506(ii), 468, 471, 420 of IPC r/w 149 of IPC, on the file of the first respondent.The crux of the complaint is that the second respondent is the French citizen and he has two ancestral properties and the same were inherited after demise of his father.In his absence, the accused 2,3 and 4 created three forged notarial sale deed in the name of the first accused to grab his property.The said Joseph Raj also executed another forged sale deed in favour of one Koulanthini.In fact the second respondent/defacto complainant is in possession and enjoyment of the said property till date.He further alleged that the some of the accused persons attempted to trespassed into the property as such he lodged the present complaint.In fact, the second respondent made allegations as against seven persons, in which there is no allegation as against the petitioners herein, even on the complaint lodged by him.It is also seen from the complaint lodged by one Alexander Joseph as against thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 8 petitioners' vendors and others, the petitioners are shown as witnesses.Though the said Alexander Joseph filed a petition to add the petitioners as accused in the said proceedings i.e., C.C.No.43 of 2009, it was dismissed.Admittedly, the first transaction for the disputed property happened on 04.09.2002, by way of registered sale deed in favour of one Koulanthini.When the civil disputes are pending between the parties, the first respondent ought not to have been registered a case as against the petitioners.“…The said monies were paid in cash as per the dicta of the accused person’s son Mr. Rajiv Vijayasarathy Ratnam has filed a false and frivolous suit…” (Emphasis supplied)The condition necessary for an act to constitute an offence under Section 405 of the Penal Code is that the accused was entrusted with some property or has dominion over property.The first respondent has stated that the disputed sum was transferred by the son of the appellants of his ownhttp://www.judis.nic.in 11 volition to her.If factual foundation for the offence has been laid in the complaint the court should not hasten to quash criminal proceedings during investigation stage merely on the premise that one or two ingredients have not been stated with details…” The decision does not advance the submission of the first respondent.As we have noted above, the complaint in the present case is bereft of the basic facts necessary to constitute the offences alleged under Sections 405, 406, 415 and 420 of the Penal Code.The jurisdiction under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has to be exercised with care.In the exercise of its jurisdiction, a High Court can examine whether a matter which is essentially of a civil nature has been given a cloak of a criminal offence.Where the ingredients required to constitute a criminal offence are not made out from a bare reading of the complaint, the continuation of the criminal proceeding will constitute an abuse of the process of the court.In the present case, the son of the appellants has instituted a civil suit for the recovery of money against the first respondent.The suit is pending.The first respondent has filed the complaint against the appellants six years after the date of the alleged transaction and nearly three years from the filing of the suit.The averments in the complaint, read on its face, do not disclose the ingredients necessary to constitute offences under the Penal Code.An attempt has been made by the first respondent to cloak a civil dispute with a criminalhttp://www.judis.nic.in 17 nature despite the absence of the ingredients necessary to constitute a criminal offence.For the above said reasons and the law applicable to the present case, the impugned FIR in Crime No.282 of 2017 is liable to be quashed as against the petitioners.Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition stands allowed and the FIR in Crime No.282 of 2017 on the file of the first respondent is hereby quashed insofar as the petitioners are concerned.Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed..04.2019 Internet:Yes/No Index :Yes/No Speaking/Non speaking order rtshttp://www.judis.nic.in 18 G.K.ILANTHIRAIYAN, J.The Station

Bhave, learned Senior Counsel for the appellant argued that as per postmortem report cause of death is injury on temporal region of head, however, the witnesses have failed to narrate that this injury caused by the accused by lathi.Other injuries, fracture of second and third ribs were also not explained by the witnesses who inflicted these injuries.Scrutiny of statement of prosecution witnesses raises doubt about their evidence.It appears that because of the earlier incident the accused gave two slaps to Champalal, the witnesses have presumed that the accused given beaten to allowing this appeal, therefore, the accused may be acquitted.Shri Samdarshi Tiwari, Government Advocate for the respondent/State has submitted that the prosecution has proven the assault by the accused as the injured eyewitness Champalal have totally stood embedded and nothing has been elicited to discredit this witness.It is further submitted that learned trial court did not commit any error while passing the impugned judgment hence; this appeal deserves to be dismissed.The facts that deceased sustained injuries in the evening on 30.05.1997 and died a homicidal death on account of the said injuries where neither in dispute before the learned trial court nor are under challenge in this appeal.That apart, there is overwhelming ocular and medical evidence on record which is more than sufficient to establish the above facts beyond any shadow of doubt.Dr. B.L. Kushwaha (PW/6) conducted autopsy on the dead body and vide his postmortem report Ex.P-13 opined that injury caused on temporal region of Shobha's head 5 Cr.A. No.14 of 1998 and other injuries were cause of death.As per query report Ex.P-14, Doctor also given opinion that injury found on head of the Shobha can be inflicted by lathi in question, which was seized vide memo (Ex.P-5) on information given by the accused.Champalal was also medically examined by the Doctor and vide MLC report (Ex.P-12) he found injuries on person of Champalal.5 Cr.A. No.14 of 1998Therefore, upholding the findings recorded by the learned trial court in that behalf injured eyewitness Champalal (PW/10) has deposed that on the fateful day the accused and others were consuming liquor on the eve of the marriage of Kalia's son and prior to the main incident in the afternoon the accused and he indulged in a quarrel and during that the accused given him slaps and he also reacted.He further stated by mediation the matter was settled then and there.Kalia (PW/3) also supported these facts.About main incident Champalal (PW/10) has categorically deposed that in the evening when he was returning to his home with Shobha and reached near the house of Jadiya thereon behind the shrubs the accused appeared with Banshi, both having lethal weapons and started beating them.He also stated that the accused given a lathi blow on the head of Shobha so he felt down and died instantly.He stood firm in his cross-examination and nothing could be elicited by the defence which may discredit his evidence.Nothing has been elicited in the cross examination to discredit his testimony.I do not find any earthly reason for this witness to depose falsely against the accused.Champalal (PW/10) unequivocally and categorically stated about the genuineness of occurrence, development and the voluntarily assault by the accused.6 Cr.A. No.14 of 19986 Cr.A. No.14 of 1998Gangabai (PW/1), Shekhlal (PW/2), Kalia (PW/3), Sukhlal (PW/4), Sabulal (PW/9) also deposing in line with the evidence of Champalal (PW/10) stated that it was accused who after the course of sudden wordy quarrel in the afternoon with the Champalal caused injuries to deceased Shobha by means of lathi, resulting in his death, when Shobha and Champalal were returning to their home in the evening.Nothing substantial could be brought out by the defence in their cross examination which may referred their evidence unworthy of credence.On a close scrutiny of eyewitness account of eyewitness on account of Champalal (PW/10) and other witnesses Gangabai (PW/1), Kalia (PW/3), Sukhlal (PW/4), Sabulal (PW/9), I do not find any infirmity whatsoever in their evidence they are truthful witness and there evidence has rightly been relied upon by the learned trial court in holding accused Patiram guilty of causing that injury on the head of deceases Shobha by means of lathi blow, which ultimately resulted in his death.The next question crops up for reconsideration in this appeal are about the nature of the offence proved against the accused Patiram and punishment for it.The intention of the assailant, the weapon used, repetition of assault, amount of force applied and certain other factors are important to decide the matter.It is agreed fact that the accused had inflicted a single blow.It is also come in the evidence of Champalal (PW/10) and other witnesses including Gangabai (PW/1), mother of the deceased that there has been no previous enmity.There is no criminal antecedent of the accused.Since his arrest on 01.06.1997 to 15.07.1998 the accused was under custody.7 Cr.A. No.14 of 19987 Cr.A. No.14 of 1998It is perceivable from the evidence that the accused had no intention of causing murder of the deceased because his main intention of causing injuries to the Champalal and nor there was any ill feeling or enmity between the deceased and the accused.The quarrel ensued without any kind of prior preparation and singular blow was given by way of lathi which is carried by every villager in normal course of life.It is not disputed before me that the death of the deceased was due to the injury.This is also perceivable from the ocular evidence brought on record which gets corroboration from the medical evidence.On cumulative consideration of above mentioned features brought on the record, I find it is more than sufficient to hold with certainty that accused Patiram while causing injuries on the head of deceased had intended to cause death of Shobha.Therefore, uphold the findings recorded by the learned trial court in this behalf.In view of the aforesaid, I am of the considered opinion that substantive sentence should be confined to the period already undergone in respect of the offence punishable under Section 304 Part II of the I.P.C. with a further stipulation that accused Patiram shall pay the compensation of Rs.50,000/- (fifty thousand) to Gangabai (PW/1), the mother of Shobha.The said amount shall be deposited before the learned Trial Judge within a 8 Cr.A. No.14 of 1998 period of 3 (three) months from today.The learned Trial Judge on proper identification shall pay the said amount to Gangabai.If accused Patiram fails to deposit the aforesaid amount, he shall suffer total rigorous imprisonment of 3 years, for which he will be entitled to set off his period of custody already undergone.No further sentence for Section 323 of I.P.C. is required separately in both the situations.8 Cr.A. No.14 of 1998Accordingly, this appeal is allowed to the extent indicated above.Appeal partly allowed.(Subhash Kakade) Judge AK/-","['Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"No. 4 of 2004 Page 1 Indian Penal Code.Prosecution case stands unfolded by Master Banti (PW-11), who along with his maternal uncle Dinesh had gone to the nearby shop to purchase candle as there was no electric light in the residential area at about 10:00 p.m. on 29th Day of May, 2001 and while they were returning, Mehndi, younger brother of appellant-accused started abusing aforesaid Dinesh and in the meanwhile, appellant-accused came there and started giving leg and fist blows to abovesaid Dinesh.According to this witness (PW-11), he immediately rushed to his house and had informed his parents about this incident and soon he along with his father returned at the spot and they saw appellant- accused and his co-accused were beating Dinesh.As per the prosecution version, many persons had gathered at the spot and injured-Dinesh was removed to the hospital, where he was declared as brought dead.Regarding this incident, FIR No. 268/2001 under Section 302/34 of Indian Penal Code was registered at Police Station Timarpur, Delhi.After conducting the spot proceedings, Sub- Inspector Surya Prakash collected MLC of the deceased and thereafter had arrested the appellant/accused in this case.Post Crl.Appellant herein has been convicted by the trial court for the offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder and has been sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for ten years with fine for the offence under Section 304 (Part-II) of the Crl.No. 4 of 2004 Page 2 Mortem Report of the deceased was obtained and the exhibits of this case were seized and were sent to CFSL for analysis.Investigation of this case stood completed with the filing of charge sheet for the offence under Section 302/34 of Indian Penal Code before the Sessions Court, whereas, co-accused - Mehndi was prosecuted before the Juvenile Justice Board, as he was said to be a juvenile on the day of this incident.Trial of this case proceeded as appellant/accused chose to contest the murder charge framed against him in this case.Prosecution evidence consists of deposition of twenty witnesses and the material ones out of them, whose deposition has been referred to, during the hearing of this appeal, are Bunty (PW-11), his parents (PW-3) and (PW-9).Post Mortem Report of the deceased is Ex.PW-2/A, which gives the cause of death as shock due to sudden vagal inhibition caused by blows to the testis of the deceased.Sub-Inspector Surya Prakash (PW-19) and Inspector R.K. Rathi (PW-20) had conducted the investigation of this case.The stand of the appellant/accused before the trial court was of denial of the prosecution case and of his being innocent.He had claimed that he has been framed in this case Crl.No. 4 of 2004 Page 3 by the police.Three witnesses, who had been got examined by the appellant/accused in his defence were his neighbourers and the stand taken by them was that appellant/accused was not present at the spot, when this incident had occurred.However, the defence evidence was not referred to, during the hearings of this appeal.The trial of this case ended with the conviction of the appellant/accused for the lesser offence, i.e., under Section 304 (Part-II) of Indian Penal Code and the sentence imposed upon him, is under challenge in this appeal.Learned counsel for the appellant had tried to dislodge the evidence of Bunty (PW-11) by contending that the time of this incident given by this witness, is 9.30 p.m., whereas, in the FIR of this case, the time of this incident mentioned is 10:00 p.m. It is urged on behalf of the appellant/accused that PW-3 - brother-in-law of the deceased, who had lodged the FIR of this case, has not supported the prosecution case.It has been emphatically argued by appellant's counsel that there was no previous dispute or enmity, nor there was any intention or knowledge on the part of the appellant/ accused that the alleged beating would result in death of injured-Dinesh.It has Crl.No. 4 of 2004 Page 4 been urged that the evidence of star witness (PW-11) does not show that appellant/ accused had given any injury on the private parts of the deceased.It is pointed out that the Doctor (PW-2) who had conducted the post-mortem examination on the dead body of the deceased, has stated that possibility cannot be ruled out of the injury, which is the cause of death in this case, being sustained by the person falling on the hard object.According to learned counsel for the appellant, the alleged incident was on sudden impulse and no knowledge can be attributed to the appellant/accused that mere giving of kick and fist blows could by any stretch of imagination, result in the death of Dinesh.Thus, it is urged that the impugned judgment is unsustainable and is liable to be set aside.No. 4 of 2004 Page 5Mr. Amit Sharma, Additional Public Prosecutor for the Respondent - State counters the arguments raised on behalf of the appellant/accused, by contending that the deposition of Bunty (PW-11) by itself is sufficient to prove the prosecution case.It is pointed out that the hostility of PW-3 - father of Bunty is of no avail, as PW-9 - mother of Bunty corroborates the version of this incident as narrated by Bunty (PW-11).It is also pointed out that the medical evidence corroborates the ocular version and the appellant/accused has been rightly convicted by the trial court for the offence under Section 304 (Part-II) of Indian Penal Code, as the fatal assault on Dinesh by the Appellant and his co-accused - Mehndi was without any provocation and that there is no merit in this appeal.After carefully considering the arguments raised by both the sides and upon analysis of the evidence on record, this Court finds that the most crucial evidence is that of Bunty (PW-11), whose deposition is assailed by the defence by contending that there is variation in the timing of this incident as this witness has stated in his evidence that this incident had happened at 9:30 p.m. whereas in the FIR lodged by father of the deceased, the time of this incident given is 10:00 p.m. To Crl.During the hearing of this appeal, it was not shown as to how inconsequential variance in the timing of this incident, adversely reflect upon the prosecution case.It is true that this witness (PW-11) has not stated in so many words that any injury was caused to the deceased on his private parts, but it has to be kept in mind that this incident had taken place at night time and when the deceased was being assaulted by giving of kick and fist blows by the appellant, then in normal course of events, it is not expected that the witness would state with precision as to on which particular part of the body, the leg and fist blows were given.In a somewhat similar case of a deceased receiving injury by kick on his private parts and of his dying instantly at the spot, Apex Court in ""State of Karnataka vs. Mohamed Nazeer @ Babu"" AIR 2003 SC 999 had set aside the conviction of the accused for the offence under Section 323 of the Indian Penal Code and had restored his conviction under Section 304 (Part- II) of Indian Penal Code, by aptly observing as under:-""One has never come across nor can it be expected of the witnesses to state that the blow or kick was Crl.Out of the three injuries sustained by the deceased, the two which are material, are as under:-Bruise 4X2 cm over left scrotam on lower surface.Bruise 3X3 cm , over right scortam over lower surface.There was effusion of blood under injury No.2 and 3 alongwith contision of both testis.""The effusion of blood under aforesaid injuries no. 2 & 3 clearly shows that the intensity of the kick blows was quite severe, otherwise effusion of blood under injuries no. 2 & 3 with contusion of both the testes is just not possible.The presence of bruises at the seat of injuries no. 2 & 3, also indicate that the kick blows were inflicted upon the private parts of the deceased with considerable force by the appellant.The possibility of deceased receiving the injuries in question by Crl.No. 4 of 2004 Page 8 falling on a hard object, is ruled out as there is no whisper in the evidence of the eye witness (PW-11) or in the deposition of any other witness that deceased had fallen on any hard object.There is nothing in the medical evidence which creates a reasonable doubt about deceased sustaining the injuries in question by kick blows.Infact, the medical evidence advances and proves the prosecution case to the hilt.Though it was urged on behalf of the appellant, that the happening of this incident was on sudden impulse, but the appellant does not disclose as to what was that impulse.Infact, the deposition of the eye witness (PW-11) reveals that the deceased was fatally assaulted by the appellant, without any provocation being there from the side of the deceased.This distinguishes the case of the appellant from that of Shivalingaiah alias Handigidda (Supra), where the deceased had put his hands on the shoulder of the respondent/accused with a view to make him sit down and all of a sudden, the accused had reacted by squeezing the testicals of the deceased resulting in his instantaneous death and in the facts of the aforesaid case, the conviction was enhanced from Section 323 to Section 325 of the Indian Penal Code.No. 4 of 2004 Page 9If someone gives blows on testis, he would having a knowledge that such injury was likely to cause death.Herein the case blows were given on testis of the deceased as a result of which there was bruise on lower surface of left as well as right scrotum.Effusion of blood alongwith contusion on testis were also noted by the autopsy surgeon.These facts bring it over the record that blows with full force were given on the testis of the deceased.When accused gives blows with full force on the testis of the deceased, he is to be credited with the knowledge that the acts committed by him was likely to cause death of the victim.The appeal as well as pending application, if any, are accordingly disposed of.","['Section

+"Constable M.C. Alexander, Lance Nayak Hari Singh and Sub-Inspector M. Ramachandran Pillai were employed with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF).On 5.12.1986, all these three officials serving with the 42nd Battalion of the CRPF were deployed at New Delhi, Gole Dak Khana area for controlling the law and order situation.The situation in the area was stated to be tense because the authorities of the nearby Gurudwara wanted to take out procession in connection with the Martyrdom Day of Guru Teg Bahadur and the local authorities were resisting the same.Prohibitory orders under Section 144, Criminal Procedure Code were also imposed in the area.After some negotiations, it appears that Gurudwara authorities were permitted to take out the procession.Because of some incidents in other parts of the city, the processionists were stated to have withdrawn inside the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.The two companies of the CRPF who were deployed there to control the law and order situation were asked to remain there.The higher authorities of the CRPF belonging to the 42nd Battalion were also present at the spot to avoid any untoward incident.The aforesaid three officials were standing on the pavement with other jawans of the 42nd Battalion.Suddenly a truck bearing No. DHL 4815 belonging to one Ranjit Singh and being driven by one Paramjit Singh (now deceased) and insured with the appellant came at a very high speed from the direction of the main entrance of the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib, took a round of Gole Dak Khana and rammed against the three aforesaid officials and some other CRPF jawans standing on the pavement.It happened so suddenly that no one could move to safety or take any preventive measure to avoid the accident.The vehicle after crushing the jawans rammed against the wall of the Church and came to a halt.As a result of this accident, several CRPF personnel died and received injuries.JUDGMENT S.K. Mahajan, J.Since common questions of law and fact are involved in all these three appeals as well as in the cross-objections, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order.A few facts relevant for deciding these appeals are:Though some of the officials had managed to escape by jumping left or right and thus sustained injuries, but the three above named officials having received severe injuries were taken to the hospital and were declared brought dead.After the matter was investigated an F.I.R. under Sections 302, 307 and 324 of the Indian Penal Code was registered by the police.Alleging that accident was caused entirely due to rash and negligent driving of the aforesaid vehicle by its driver, the legal heirs of the deceased officials filed separate applications claiming compensation for their death caused in the road accident stated to have been caused due to rash and negligent driving of the offending vehicle by its driver.The written statements were filed by both the owner and the insurance company of the offending vehicle.In the written statement they took the plea that the owner had no concern or connection with Param-jit Singh who was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident nor he was in his employment.The Tribunal did not frame any issue but directed the parties to lead evidence on the pleas taken by them in their respective pleadings.Claimants besides producing themselves as witnesses also produced one Ram Lal Joshi, who had retired from CRPF, as a witness in the case.The said Ram Lal Joshi, in his statement before the court stated that he joined CRPF on 1.4.1968 as Head Constable and retired on 30.10.1994 as a Deputy Commandant.He stated that accident took place on 5.12.1986 and he was the seniormost officer of 42nd Battalion at the spot and the same was under his control.He stated that his company was deployed to control law and order situation along with Delhi Police at Gole Dak Khana near the Church and Section 144 of Criminal Procedure Code had also been imposed.He further deposed that suddenly a truck came at a high speed from the side of Gole Dak Khana towards Guru-dwara and rammed against the deceased officials and other jawans standing on the pavement.He stated that the speed of the truck was so high that nobody could move to safety or take any preventive measure, but some of the jawans managed to escape by jumping left or right.He further deposed that three officials who sustained injuries were so badly injured that they died on the spot.They were taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where they were declared brought dead.According to this witness, the accident took place entirely due to negligence of the driver of the offending vehicle.Despite opportunity, the witness was not cross-examined either by the insurance company or the owner of the offending vehicle.One assistant from the office of insurance company also appeared in court as a witness but except proving the policy of insurance nothing more was said by the said witness.No other evidence was produced either by the owner of the truck or by the insurance company.On the basis of the aforesaid evidence produced before the Tribunal, it came to a finding that even if it was a case of murder, since the driver had no ill-will or any motive against the CRPF personnel and his motive was to act against the authority of the State and not against the deceased officials, it was an accident arising out of use of motor vehicle vis-avis three victims and legal representatives of the deceased would, therefore, be entitled to compensation.After holding that the legal representatives would be entitled to compensation, the Tribunal awarded compensation in their favor.Compensation for the death of Hari Singh, Lance Nayak:The legal heirs of the deceased would also be entitled to interest on the enhanced compensation at the rate of 9 per cent per annum from the date of filing the application till payment.Seven- teen years have passed since the death of the deceased and the family of deceased is in need of money.Appellants are directed to deposit the balance 50 per cent compensation along with enhanced compensation with interest within six weeks from today.On deposit of this compensation with the Tribunal, the respondent/claimants will be entitled to withdraw 20 per cent of such amount and the balance 80 per cent would be deposited in fixed deposit in the names of the claimants in terms of the award for a period of five years.With these observations, these appeals and cross-objections stand disposed of.Copy of the order be given dusty to counsel for the parties.","['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section

Ishwar Chand/ the accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein returned back in 2-3 minutes from that house at Sikendarabad and informed that that lady had gone to Pran Garh and thus they went to Pran Garh and even there at Pran Garh, the complainant and his wife were not taken to meet that lady but despite the same they did not put any query to the Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein;blows and confined inside a room with his hands and legs tied with rifle butt blows given on his back, shoulder and stomach and he was asked a question as to where the sale deed of his house was and the keys of his safe were also demanded, he, the complainant, informed that the safe was not locked and that the ornaments and title deed were lying in the safe but at that time when he was being so assaulted, the complainant raised no alarm for help nor did he call out for the attention of his wife at that time.The learned trial Court also observed that the accused persons had, as per the testimony of PW-1, taken away the ring, wrist watch, Rs.4000/- cash, driving licence and identity card from the complainant around 11:30 a.m. on 09.08.1989 and had confined him and bolted him inside the house and as per the testimony of PW-1, Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein had returned at 4:00 p.m. and started giving beatings to him and obtained signatures by him on 25 judicial papers of the denomination of Rs.50/-, 10/-, 20/-, 5/- and 2/- whereafter his hands were untied and his thumb impressions were obtained, and after the same he was again bolted inside the room.When he cried his wife came along with some ladies and opened the door.It was observed by the learned trial Court that the testimony of DW-1 brought forth that for about 4 hours neither Narender Kumar Sharma did any act to invite the attention of his wife or villagers, nor did his wife bother to invite the attention of any of the villagers who ought to have reached for their rescue;A.No.718/2000 Page 35 of 49That PW-1 had stated that on hearing his cries, his wife along with some ladies reached there, which fact brought forth that there were some persons near the room where PW-1 was detained and that his cries could invite the attention of some ladies along with his wife and that if some disorderly behaviour had been going on in the house, those ladies ought to have taken note of that fact, but PW-1 stated that all that was going on went unnoticed and the ladies reached there when the accused persons left.It was observed by the learned trial Court that this version was not believable;A.No.718/2000 Page 36 of 49The factum that PW-1 stated that he had taken his wife to the house of the Sarpanch of the village and they had narrated their tale and that he was bleeding from his nose and had injuries on his feet and that his wife also told him that she too was beaten and her gold ring and chain had been snatched, and that though the Sarpanch got them dropped at Sikendarabad on a scooter and Vicky, he made no attempt to call any other person nor did he accompany them to the police station, - was all unnatural;It was also observed by the learned trial Court that the factum that when PW-1 and his wife reached their house they found Smt. Shashi Bala wife of Ishwar Chand/ the accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein was present there with the children and she informed that the Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein had reached there with two persons and had taken away a gold tika, VCP, sale deed and educational certificate from their safe, - were all unbelievable versions, for if the husband of Shashi Bala had committed theft at the house of the complainant, the factum that Shashi Bala neither opposed her husband from removing the goods and valuable security from the house of her own sister nor did she lodge any report with the police, nor did she herself move away from the house though she had an option to leave if she had a guilty conscious and she continued to wait for the arrival of the complainant and his wife, - were all contrary to the ordinary human behaviour especially, as Shashi Bala continued to be present with the children of Narender Kumar Sharma when he and his wife returned back during the night hours;A.No.718/2000 Page 37 of 49(e) VARIANT VERSIONS OF LODGING OF COMPLAINANT The trial Court has also observed to the effect that PW-1 had informed that after reaching his house he had reached PP Gamri at about 11:30 p.m. and lodged his report which was also confirmed by his wife.Both of them denied that they had narrated the facts to anyone on the way but ASI Om Prakash PW-9 had put forth another version for, he stated, that on 09.08.1989 at about 12/12:30 a.m. when he was coming to Kartar Nagar from Maujpur, Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife met him and they were in a bad state of affairs and their clothes had blood stains and he heard them and lodged their complaint at PP Gamri.As observed by the learned trial Court ASI Chhote Lal PW-8 reiterated the same as stated by ASI Om Prakash.DD No. 28A dated 09.08.1989 Ex.PW-5/A recorded at the behest of ASI Om Prakash at 12:35 a.m. on 09.08.1989 categorically stated that Ishwar Chand/the accused No.1/respondent No. 1 herein and 2-3 persons had allegedly assaulted and beaten Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife Ram Kumari Sharma.DD No. 28A also records the case of the complainant that he had been taken away.It was also brought forth as observed by the learned trial Court that ASI Om Prakash knew the complainant and his wife and thus they narrated their tale of woe to him.The learned trial Court observed to the effect that the entire record indicated that Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife had denied having given any information to ASI Om Prakash as per DD No. 28A stating that they had not informed anyone of the incident till they reached PP Gamri because they wanted to wipe out the impression that facts were reported after consultation with ASI Om Prakash.The learned trial Court also observed to the effect that the testimony of ASI Om Prakash also brought forth the circumstances that all efforts were made Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 38 of 49 by Narender Kumar Sharma and Ram Kumari Sharma to remove the impression that the report was lodged by Narender Kumar Sharma after due deliberation by ASI Om Prakash.A.No.718/2000 Page 38 of 49The learned trial Court also categorically observed to the effect that though ASI Om Prakash denied that he was aware about the residential address of the complainant when he met them on the way, Ex.PW-5/A DD No. 28A categorically contradicts this aspect in as much as the complete postal address of the complainant, is found mentioned therein.It was also observed by the learned trial Court that Smt. Ram Kumari Sharma had deposed that they had reached Delhi at about 10:30 p.m. but had not gone to their house due to fear that someone may be present there and reached the house of their neighbour and narrated the incident to their neighbour who called the police at the spot and that if they had gone to a neighbour at 11/11:30 p.m., it could not be understood as to why and when they met ASI Om Prakash at about 12/12:30 p.m. in the night and thus it was not explained as to how DD No. 28A stood registered;in the investigation nor were they brought into the witness box to substantiate the contentions of the complainant.It was thus observed by the learned trial Court that the confusion created by the complainant party Crl.(g) NON REPORTING BY PW-2 OF FACTUM OF SEXUAL ASSAULT The factum that PW-2 for the first time gave her version of sexual exploitation when she entered the witness box and did not report about the same through Ex.PW-1/A nor through Ex.PW-1/D to the police nor before any doctor when she was examined nor did she inform anyone at Pran Garh nor did she inform the Sarpanch, - all made her version wholly improbable;(g) NON FUNCTIONING OF POST OFFICE The learned trial Court also observed to the effect that though PW-2 Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 40 of 49 stated that there was a post office at Pran Garh in the house of the Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein which was run by Madhusudan, brother of the accused, she stated that it was closed on that day but she had herself stated in her testimony that it was a working day, and her husband who was working at the Old Police Line Hospital had sent his leave application when he had accompanied the accused Ishwar Chand, respondent No. 1 herein.A.No.718/2000 Page 40 of 49(i) DOUBTFUL RECOVERIES The learned trial Court also observed that it was not probable that the accused who had allegedly snatched the gold ornaments and documents of the complainant had preserved the identity card and driving license of Narender Kumar Sharma who got them recovered subsequently which itself cast a doubt on the prosecution version.The learned trial Court further discarded the testimonies of Jagdish Prasad PW-15 and HC Om Pal Singh PW-16 stated recovery witnesses as their testimonies in relation to recoveries of Ex.P1 gold ring and Ex.P2 gold chain Ex.P3 Identity card and Ex.P4 driving license of Narender Kumar Sharma were variant in relation to the date when they went to get the recovery effected at the behest of the accused Ishwar Chand, respondent No. 1 herein.Though SI Jagpal Singh stated that they left Delhi on 23.08.1989 in a private vehicle and recovery was effected on 24.08.1989 and they returned to Delhi at 5-6:00 p.m. HC Om Pal Singh stated that they had gone to Bulandshahr on 24.08.1989 by a bus during noon hours and clarified that he remained outside a room when Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein went inside and brought the polythene containing ring, chain, identity card and driving licence of the complainant.It was thus observed by the learned trial Court that there are Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 41 of 49 discrepancies about the date when the two witnesses left and in relation to the vehicle by which they travelled and the time when they reached and effected recovery.A.No.718/2000 Page 41 of 49(j) PROBABLE REASONS FOR FALSE IMPLICATION The learned trial Court has also observed to the effect that the reason as to why Narender Kumar Sharma and Ram Kumari Sharma roped in their relations and others in the battle, and the answer thereto was available in the statement of Vikram Singh recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. It was further observed by the learned trial Court to the effect that the said statement can be used only to contradict the witness and had been so used by the prosecution in as much as this witness Vikram Singh R/o village Pran Garh, Sikendarabad, Distt.Bulandshahr, U.P. had stated that he is an agriculturist at village Pran Garh, Sikendarabad and that Narender Kumar and his wife had never come.This witness on being cross-examined by the State denied that on 09.08.1989 at about 7:00 p.m. Narender Kumar with his wife came to his house and that Narender Kumar had wounds on his body and denied that he made any statement before the police.This witness was confronted with the entire statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. and reiterated having not made the same.The learned trial Court has observed to the effect that though this statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. which can be used only for contradicting the witness and was so used, yet it presented the case of the prosecution and needed attention.The learned trial Court observed to the effect that it was reported in the said statement that on 09.08.1989 at about 7:00 p.m. Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife came to the house of Vikram Singh and there were injuries on the person of both of them, they were frightened and asked Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 42 of 49 this witness to save their life.Both of them told him that they were beaten by the Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein, with the help of his associates and thereafter obtained his signatures on some pieces of papers and after narrating those facts they went to the house of Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein.After some time he went to the house of Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein.Ishwar Chand and his brother Satya Dev were present there and Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife were also present.Satya Dev was arranging milk to give it to them for drinking and Narender Kumar and his wife after consuming the milk asked Satya Dev to take out his scooter and drop Narender Kumar and his wife to Sikanderabad.It was observed by the learned trial Court to the effect that this statement brought forth that Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein and Satya Dev were present at the house at Pran Garh and were arranging milk for Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife, when PW-7 had gone there and that the story of abduction of Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife from Delhi had not been projected before this witness.A.No.718/2000 Page 42 of 49It was further observed by the learned trial Court to the effect that it would be implicit thus to the effect that Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife had gone there at village Pran Garh and there was some dispute between Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein and Narender Kumar Sharma and as a result of their dispute, some altercation had taken place in which Narender Kumar Sharma had sustained some injuries and also alleged that his signatures were obtained on some papers.It was further observed by the learned trial court that the story of robbing them was also not projected before Vikram Singh nor was the Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 43 of 49 aspect of sexual exploitation spoken about before Vikram Singh and though they had an altercation with Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein, yet they were ready to consume milk when Satya Dev arranged it for them.A.No.718/2000 Page 43 of 49(k) OTHER INCONSISTENCIES The learned trial Court further observed that it was obvious that the incident which might have taken place between Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein and Narender Kumar and Ram Kumari was not so alarming which could make these witnesses panic and that on the way to Delhi, Narender Kumar Sharma had deliberations with his wife and ASI Om Prakash and a twist had been given to the facts and while leaving for Pran Garh and that Smt. Shashi Bala was left by them at their house to look after their children.It was also observed by the learned trial Court that Shashi Bala was not aware of the happenings and she was present at the house of Narender Kumar Sharma when they returned back to Delhi.The learned trial Court further observed to the effect that the incident if at all it had happened, had taken place only at Pran Garh.It was also observed vide the impugned judgment that Narender Kumar was working as dentist hygienist at the Civil Hospital, Delhi which was earlier known as Police Hospital, Delhi.He exploited his connection with Delhi Police and got roped Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein and others in the case here and this case was a brainchild of Narender Kumar Sharma and ASI Om Prakash and that the crime had not been generated here at Delhi;PW-11/A and Ex.PW-11/B, the receipts issued by Narayan Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 44 of 49 Verma PW-11, the goldsmith who prepared the ornaments Ex.The learned trial Court thus observed to the effect that this itself indicated that these receipts were later on procured by Narender Kumar Sharma and that the witness Narayan Verma entered at the instance of Narender Kumar Sharma and that in the receipts Ex.PW-11/A and Ex.PW-11/B, the name of Narender Kumar was not mentioned which itself made the testimony of the witness Narayan Verma hollow and that this fact itself brought forth that their testimonies were unworthy of any credit.A.No.718/2000 Page 44 of 49The learned trial Court also adverted to the testimonies of two defence witness Neeraj Kumar DW-6 and Smt.Manorma DW-7 observing to the effect that the testimonies of Neeraj Kumar, the alleged driver of the vehicle No. DID 2850 who was not produced in the witness box of the prosecution and was produced by the accused testified that on 09.08.1989 he had not gone with Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein anywhere with his vehicle and his testimony had not been effectively challenged by the prosecution.The learned trial Court observed to the effect that the testimony of Manorma," the tenant of Narender Kumar Sharma who was not produced in the witness box by the prosecution and was produced by the defence as witness was not shattered in any manner and that DW-7 had categorically denied that Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife had gone along with Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein and it was observed to the effect that it was thus brought forth that though the version of abduction of the complainant and his wife from their house was not established in Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 45 of 49 any manner what emerged was that Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife had gone to Pran Garh of their own where they had some altercations with Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein and after reaching Delhi they fabricated facts after deliberation with ASI Om Prakash and lodged a false case.A.No.718/2000 Page 45 of 49A.No.279-80/1995 which lays down that """"Depositions of witnesses", whether they are examined on the prosecution side or defence side or as Court witnesses," are oral evidence in the case and hence the scrutiny thereof shall be without any predilection or bias.No witness is entitled to get better treatment merely because he was examined as a prosecution witness or even as a Court witness.It is judicial scrutiny which is warranted in respect of the depositions of all witnesses for which different yardsticks cannot be prescribed as for those different categories of witnesses.""""Taking the said principles of law for appreciation of evidence into account it is essential to observe that DW-1 Madhusudan", brother of the accused Ishwar Chand, respondent No. 1 herein who was running the post office in the house where the incident is alleged to have taken place at Pran Garh, Distt.Bulandshahr has categorically testified to the effect that on the date i.e. Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 46 of 49 09.08.1989 the said post office was open and that he was present from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and that Rohtash Kumar and Satish Chand were also present and that Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife had not come out of that house nor had he heard any commotion in the house.The prosecution during the cross-examination of this witness has been unable to challenge the veracity of the testimony of this witness in any manner.The statement of DW-2 corroborates the fact that Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein had paid a sum of Rs.83,000/- to Narender Kumar Sharma for the purchase of a plot in relation to which the title deed was stated to have been executed by the complainant in his own name instead of it being in the name of the Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein.The testimony of DW-5 Mahender Singh produced by the accused also brings forth the aspect that a sum of Rs.70,000/- was also borrowed by the Ishwar Chand/accused No. 1/respondent No.1 herein from the said witness.This witness has also categorically asserted that his vehicle had been intercepted by the police as he did not have Crl.Significantly, Ex.PW-1/B the seizure memo in relation to Maruti Van shows that it was seized on 15.08.1989 and had been seized by the police of PS Bhajanpura.This witness has categorically denied that his vehicle was used by the accused persons for commission of any dacoity.A.No.718/2000 Page 47 of 49Taking the totality of the circumstances of the case into account, especially the discrepancies in the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses including inter alia:-the improvements made by PW-1 and PW-2 in their statements made from their statement recorded by the police including variations from Ex.PW-1/A, the complaint, which forms the basis of registration of the FIR, the variations in relation to material particulars set forth during the prosecution version and in the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses examined on oath especially PW-1 and PW-2;the variations in the testimonies of SI Jagdish Prasad and HC Om Pal Singh, the alleged recovery witnesses in relation to the mode and manner in which the recovery was allegedly effected; the probabilization of the facts put forth by the defence witnesses being brought forth through the entire available record, all make the allegations levelled of the alleged commission of the offence punishable of extortion, abduction, criminal intimidation, assault and robbery as alleged by Narender Kumar Sharma and his wife Smt. Ram Kumari Sharma, wholly circumspect and it is thus apparent in the facts and circumstances of the instant case that there are no compelling Crl.A.No.718/2000 Page 48 of 49 nor substantial reasons to differ with the view taken by the learned trial Court on the basis of the evidence on record, both on questions of fact and of law.A.No.718/2000 Page 48 of 49In view thereof the Crl.Appeal No.718/2000 filed by the State which survives now only against the sole surviving accused No. 1/respondent No.1/ Ishwar Chand herein, is thus dismissed.The trial Court record be returned.ANU MALHOTRA, J GITA MITTAL, J JANUARY 09," 2017 mr Crl.""","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 397 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ramwati.Supporting FIR version, P.W. 1 Suresh Pal after narrating some facts leading to the enmity, has stated in his statement that when on 13.04.1981 at about 7.00 a.m. he and his brothers Jugendra Pal Singh and Narendra Pal Singh and his nephew Mahesh Pal Singh had gone to see their Khalihan, all the 21 accused persons present in court came out from the side of Khalihan and on exhortation of Natthu Singh began to assault Jugendra Pal Singh by lalthies.It is further stated by this witness that somehow he.his brother Narendra Pal and nephew Mahesh Pal escaped and raised noise, on which his mother Ketuki Devi, sister Ramwati and nieces Asha and Munni came there and, when his mother and sister tried to save Jugendra Pal Singh by laying upon him, they we e also assaulted by the accused persons, due to which they sustained injuries.The witness (P.W. 1) has named and recognized all the appellants-accused who were present in court at the time of his deposition.It is further stated by this witness that the accused Natthu Singh was armed with licenced gun, his samdhi Kundan Singh was having tamancha, Bishan Singh and Yatendra Singh were armed with Farsa and Ballam respectively and other accused were having lathies.He has further stated that after the incident he carried the injured persons to P.S. Soron, where he lodged the FIR and when he was carrying the injured persons for medical examination to Kasganj, Jugendra Pal Singh succumbed to the injuries near village Hulpur after which his dead body and both injured were carried to Kasganj hospital, where the injured were medically examined and after inauest proceeding, the dead body of Jugendra Pal Singh was sent to Etah for post-mortem examination.Regarding the motive to commit this crime the witness Suresh Pal has stated that on 10.04.1981, the accused Bishan Singh etc. had abducted his nieces (sister's daughters) Asha and Munni, with whom rape was also committed by them, report of which was lodged by his brother Narendra Pal Singh.It is also stated by this witness that incident of police encounter had taken place on 10.11.1980 with accused Bishan Singh etc. and during investigation of that case, his brother Jugendra Pal Singh had told the real incident to police against the accused persons, due to which they began to have enmity and they had declared that they will kill all of them and okust them from village due to which Judgndra Pal Singh had given application to S.S.P. Etah and CO.Kasganj for his security.Lengthy cross-examination made from P.W. 1 Suresh Pal by the learned Counsel for the appellants accused, out nothing material could be elicited from him.He has fully supported the case of prosecution and his testimony is worth relying.There is no serious infirmity in his testimony and the learned Trial Judge has rightly placed reliant on the testimony of this witness.Next witness is Smt. Ramwati (P.W. 2) who is injured also.In her statement recorded on 17.12.1981 in trial court, P.W. 2 Ramwati has stated that about 9 months age at about 7.00 a.m. Jugendra Pal Singh along with his brothers Suresh Pal Singh and Narendra Pal Singh and nephew Mahesh Pal Singh had gone to see hisKhalihan and when on hearing hue and cry, she and her mother Ketuki and girls Asha and Munni reached on the place of occurrence near Khalihan they saw that 21 accused present in court were assaulting her brother Jugendra Pal Singh.She has further stated that she and her mother were also assaulted by the accused persons due to which they both sustained injuries.It is further stated by Smt. Ramwati that considering her brother to nave died, the accused persons fled away towards Ganga Ji.It is also stated by this witness that being widow she has been residing in the house of her brother and she knows all the accused prior to the incident.She has also named some accused in her examination-in-chief and recoanized all the 21 accused present in the court.In cross-examination it is stated by Smt. Ramwati Devi that Jugendra Pal Singh was surrounded by the accused persons and 17 accused having lathies were assaulting him by lathies.It is also stated by this witness that Natthu Singh and Kundan Singh were armed with gun and tamancha respectively, Bishan Singh was having Pharsa and Yatendra Singh was armed with ballam and rest accused where having lathies.Smt. Ramwati also has been cross examined at length by the learned Counsel for the accused-appellants, but none material has been elicited from this witness also.Being injured, the presence of Smt. Ramwati at the time of occurrence is not doubtful.Her testimony also is wholly reliable and there is no reason to disbelieve her testimony.The learned Trial Judge has not committed any illegality in placing reliance on the testimony of this witness.Ocular evidence of the witnesses Suresh Pal Singh and Ramwati finds corroboration from medical evidence.We have already extracted the injuries found on the person of deceased Jugendra Pal Singh and injured Smt. Ramwati and Smt. Ketuki.All the injuries of deceased and both the injured are possible to be caused by lathies.As such, on the basis of the testimony of Suresh Pal Singh and Smt. Ramwati, it is fully proved beyond reasonable doubt that Jugendra Pal Singh, Ramwati and Ketuki were assaulted by appellants-accused on 13.04.1981 at about 7.00 a.m. near the Khalihan, which was kept at a distance of about 100 paces from the house of complainant.There was motive for the accused persons to commit this crime.Admittedly, an FIR regarding abduction and rape of Km.Munni and Km.Asha, (both unmarried niece of the deceased) was lodged on 10.04.1981 against some accused by Narendra Pal Singh, brother of the deceased.In a case of police encounter with some accused, the deceased had told the real facts against them to the Investigating Officer.On the basis of the application moved by the deceased for his security against the accused persons, action under Section 107/116 Cr.P.C. was also taken against some accused prior to this incident.There was long standing enmity between the parties and due to that enmity, the accused persons after forming an unlawful assembly on 13.04.1981 at about 7.00 a.m. made a plan to eliminate the deceased Jugendra Pal Singh and in prosecution of that common object, rhey all having deadly weapons and lathies assembled behind the Khalihan and assaulted the deceased when he cama to see hisKhalihan along with his brothers Suresh Pal Singh and Narendra Pal Singh and his nephew Mahesh Pal Singh and when Smt. Ramwati and Ketuki tried to save the deceased by laying upon him, they also were assaulted.The main submission made by Sri Somesh Khare, learned Counsel for the accused-appellants was that the appellants-accused Natthu Singh, Kundan Singh, Bishan Singh and Yatendra Singh did not use their weapons and hence their conviction with the aid of Section 149 IPC s bad in law.From the evidence on record, this fact is borne out that the accused-appellants Netthu Singh, Kundan Singh, Bishen Singh and Yatendra Singh having deadly weapons along with other accused having lathies formed an unlawful assembly, with common object to commit the murder of Jugendra Pal Singh with whom to they were having enmity.17 accused having lathies had mercilessly beaten the deceased Jugendra Pal Singh, who suffered 11 ante mortem injuries, which have extracted above.In ante mortem injury No. 1 two lacerated wounds measuring 4 cm x 1 cm and 3 cm x 1 cm x bone deep on the top of skull were found.In the result, the appeal is hereby, dismissed.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 366 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 332 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Ka. 3 and proceeded ina jeep with his brother Dinesh Chandra (P.W. 11), to SeoharaPolice Station situate about half a mile away and handedover that report at 1.30 p.m. Dinesh Chandra (P.W. 11) wastaken to Dhampur hospital after he was given first aid by aDoctor on the way.He was examined at the Dhampur hospitalby Dr. Bagchi, P.W. 3 who found on his person an abrasionand nine incised wounds of which injury No. 7 on the rightside of the chest through which blood and air were comingout was serious and the rest were simple.The dead bodies of Prakash Chandra and Umesh Chandrawhich were found lying in front of their house where bloodalso was found, were later sent for autopsy.Ram Karan andChhotey Lal went to the Government hospital, Bijnor wherethey were examined by Dr. Sarin (P.W. 2) at 4 p.m. and 4.15p.m.From the Judgment & Order dated the 15th April, 1975 ofthe Allahabad High Court in Crl.R.L. Kohli and S.K. Sabharwal for the Appellants.D.P. Uniyal and R.K. Bhatt for the Respondent.The following Judgments were delivered:FAZAL ALI, J. This appeal by special leave is directedagainst a judgment dated 15.4.1975 of the Allahabad HighCourt by which the Judges of the High Court while acquittingthe accused, Anil Kumar and Satish Kumar, altered theconviction of Ram Karan, Sunil Kumar and Ved Prakash fromone under ss. 302 and 307 read with s. 149 I.P.C. to oneunder ss. 302 and 307 read with s. 34, I.P.C. and confirmedthe sentences of imprisonment for life imposed on theseappellants.The entire occurrence seems to have been the result ofa chronic land dispute between the parties in which severalcommissions were issued and which ultimately proved futile.The prosecution has no doubt proved that the two personswere killed at the hands of the accused and that theoccurrence had taken place while the Commissioners werepresent at the spot though they were not able to see theactual assault and were, therefore, not in a position todepose the detailed manner in which the assault had takenplace.The only serious question on which we would like tosound a discordant note from our Brother Varadarajan, J. isas to the actual nature of the offence which had beencommitted by the appellants, Sunil Kumar and Ved Prakash.Itwould appear from the evidence398of CW 1 as also other eye-witnesses that the accused werealso assaulted with knife and one of them, Chhotey Lal, diedas a result of the injuries caused to him.The medicalevidence as also the evidence of CW 1 clearly shows thatthere was exchange of hot words, followed by the assault onthe appellants which, according to the prosecution, was aresult of the exercise of self-defence by the prosecutionparty, particularly Dinesh Chandra.In fact, the learned Sessions Judge and the High Courtheld that the accused were the aggressors and, therefore,they had no right of private defence.In order to ascertainwhether the accused had the right of private defence, thegenesis of the incident has to be traced.Now, in this casethe prosecution witnesses being partisan, the only importantinjured witness Dinesh Chandra, PW 11 being the son of thedeceased, it would be necessary to ascertain with accuracythe genesis of the quarrel as revealed from the evidence ofCourt witnesses not shown to be partisan.CW 1, Prem NarainMathur is the practising advocate and was appointed as aCommissioner.He was accompanied by Mahesh Chandra, Vakil,CW 3, advocate appearing on behalf of the plaintiffs(accused Ram Karan) in the suit in which Commission wasissued and Shri Jafar Imam, CW 2, learned advocate appearingfor the defendants in the same suit.C.W. 1 and C.W. 3 wereat the house of accused 1 Ram Karan.C.W. 1 says thatseveral persons assembled at that time at the house of RamKaran.He is a bit vague but he says that at that time aftertea was served and he was about to leave that place he saw aperson lying on the pavement of the road.This injuredperson was lying in front of the house of accused 1 RamKaran.This statement has not been questioned in cross-examination nor adversely commented upon.It gives a clue tothe genesis of the occurrence.After measurements were takenas directed by the Court, C.W. 1 and C.W. 3 came to thehouse of accused 1 Ram Karan.Some persons collected there.According to C.W. 1 injured persons were seen lying in frontof the house of accused 1 and that was none else than thedeceased.If amongst those who collected at the house werethe two deceased and P.W. 11 Dinesh Chandra, another injuredwitness on the side of the prosecution, it is crystal clearthat the prosecution witnesses and the two deceased PrakashChandra and Umesh Chandra had come to the house of accused 1Ram Karan.How, if one of them was armed with a knife, theymust have come with a view to either picking up quarrel orto guard themselves.On the side of the prosecution Prakash Chandraand Umesh Chandra received fatal injuries and Dinesh Chandrawas also injured.However, on the side of the accusedChhotelal, son of accused 1 Ram Karan, suffered six injuriesone of which proved fatal and he died.Accused Ram Karanhimself was also injured.Both the parties were completely exasperated with thelitigation.Therefore, both sides were in anexasperated mood.Suddenly at the spur of the moment thereensued a quarrel.Prakash Chandra and Umesh Chandra on theside of the prosecution died and Chhotelal on the side ofthe accused died and each of them met a homicidal death.PrakashChandra and his two sons and others came to the house ofaccused 1 to protest for the work of the Commissioner.Dinesh Chandra amongst them was armed with a knife.May be,he may be usually carrying the same for his safety.Theincident occurred in front of the house of accused 1 upon asudden quarrel by this confrontation with eyebrows havingbeen raised because of a persistent litigation, theoccurrence took place.Taking an overall view of the situation, we find noevidence of any intention to kill the two deceased on thepart of the accused because the occurrence itself had takenplace suddenly when, to begin with, the entire episodestarted for the particular purpose of partitioning the landby the Commissioners who had visited the village.In thesecircumstances we are satisfied that Exception 4 of s. 300,I.P.C. is attracted and the offence of murder would bereduced to culpable homicide in respect of accused SunilKumar and Ved Prakash and, therefore, they would be guiltyof committing400an offence under s. 304(1)/34 I.P.C. and they should beconvicted accordingly.To this extent, therefore, we areunable to agree with Brother Varadarajan, J. that theconviction of the appellants Sunil Kumar and Ved Prakashunder s. 302 read with s. 34 of the I.P.C. should beconfirmed.We, therefore, allow this appeal to the extent that theconviction of Sunil Kumar and Ved Prakash are altered fromone under s. 302 read with s. 34 of the I.P.C. to that unders.304(1)/34 I.P.C. and they are sentenced to rigorousimprisonment for seven years.Conviction and sentences unders.307/34, I.P.C. are maintained and sentences awarded havealready been directed to run concurrently.We allow theappeal of Ram Karan as indicated by Brother Varadarajan, J.VARADARAJAN, J. This Criminal Appeal by special leaveis directed against the judgment of a Division Bench of theAllahabad High Court in Criminal Appeal No. 1144 of 1971,whereby the learned Judges, while acquitting two appellantsAnil Kumar and Satish Kumar of the charges, altered theconviction of Ram Karan, Sunil Kumar and Ved Prakash,appellants in this Criminal Appeal, under s. 302 and 307,both read with s. 149 I.P.C., into one under ss. 302 and 307both read with s. 34 I.P.C. and confirmed the sentences ofimprisonment for life for each of the two counts of murderof Prakash Chandra and Umesh Chandra and rigorousimprisonment for four years for attempt to murder DineshChandra (P.W. 11) to run concurrently and set aside theconviction of the appellant Ram Karan under s. 147 and theother two appellants under s. 148 I.P.C.The first appellant Ram Karan is the father of otherappellants Sunil Kumar and Ved Prakash and also of AnilKumar and Satish Kumar, who have been acquitted by the HighCourt as well as of deceased Chhotey Lal.P.W. 2 found one puncturedwound and four incised wounds on Chhotey Lal and threeincised wounds on Ram Karan.The injuries on both of themwere fresh and those on Ram Karan were simple while injuryNo. 1 on Chhotey Lal, namely, a punctured wound which waslung-deep and anterior to the left nipple, was grievous andthe rest were simple.The injuries on both could, in theopinion of P.W. 2, have been caused by knife.P.W. 2 issuedthe wound certificates Ex. Ka.Dr. Zuber conducted autopsy on the bodies of PrakashChandra and Umesh Chandra on 7.9.1970 and found nineantemortem, injuries, of which six were incised wounds, onthe body of Prakash Chandra and six antemortem incisedwounds on the body403of Umesh Chandra and he opined that the death of both ofthem was due to shock and haemorrhage resulting from theincised injuries.Ex. Ka. 1 and Ka. 2 are the postmortemcertificates relating to Prakash Chandra and Umesh Chandraissued by Dr. Zuber who was examined as P.W. 1 in theCommitting Magistrate's Court (Ex. Ka. 37).Dr. Dua (C.W. 4)conducted autopsy on the body of Chhotey Lal on 11.9.1970and found an abrasion and five incised wounds which weresufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.The prosecution's case rests mainly on the evidence ofGyan Chand (P.W. 1), Abdul Wahid (P.W. 10) and DineshChandra (P.W. 11).As stated earlier P.Ws 1 and 11 are thesons of deceased Prakash Chandra and brothers of the otherdeceased Umesh Chandra.P.W. 11 had received injuries duringthe occurrence and P.W. 1 is the witness who had lodged theFirst Information Report (Ex. K. 3) in the Seohara PoliceStation at the earliest opportunity at 1.30 p.m. soon afterthe occurrence which had taken place at about 1.00 p.m.These three witnesses were put forward as eyewitnesses andthey have deposed in support of the case of the prosecution.The accused put forward their version of the case.According to the accused, after the Commissioner (C.W. 1)finished his work and went to the house of the appellant RamKaran, Prakash Chandra and his sons Umesh Chandra and DineshChandra (P.W. 11) came to the baithak of Ram Karan andattacked Ram Karan and deceased Chhotey Lal with knives andthereupon they grappled with those three persons and wrestedthe knives from them and attacked them in self-defence.Theaccused examined D.W. 1 on their behalf.The evidence of C.W. 1 is that after he completedtaking measurements he went along with Ram Karan's counselMr.Mahesh Chandra (C.W. 3) to the baithak of Ram Karan'shouse, that both of them came out of the house 8 or 10minutes later, that when he advanced from the door of thebaithak he saw a person lying injured on the pavement of theroad and another injured person standing there, that a thirdperson came and struck the injured person who was standing,and that he and C.W. 3 left the place thereafter.C.W. 3 has addedthat soon after he went and sat in the baithak of RamKaran's house, Zafar Hussain (C.W. 2) came and saidsomething to C.W. 1 from beyond the door of the baithak.Theevidence of Zafar Hussain (C.W. 2) is that aftermeasurements had been taken C. Ws. 1 and 3 went to thebaithak of Ram Karan's house while he sat in the verandah ofthe old haveli of Prakash Chandra, that he and PrakashChandra's son, who is now no more, thereafter went near theCommissioner (C.W 1) and he told C.W. 1 that he may hearwhat Prakash Chandra wanted to say, that after saying so hegot back for meeting another person while Prakash Chandraand his son remained there, that after reaching the verandahof Prakash Chandra he went away with Mehboob Ali who waswaiting for him to Mehboob Ali's house and that no quarreltook place when he was present there though when he wasreturning to the verandah of Prakash Chandra's house heheard some hot words being exchanged near the baithak of RamKaran's house.The learned Sessions Judge has observed in his judgmentthat the evidence of C.Ws. 1 to 3 is contradictory,unnatural and not truthful.He found that P.W. 1's report(Ka. 3) was lodged in the Police Station at 1.30 p.m. soonafter the occurrence had taken place at about 1.00 p.m. andthat there has been no attempt at concoction in this case.He rejected the contention that Abdul Wahid, (P.W. 10) hadany reason to depose falsely against the appellant VedPrakash and found his evidence to be reliable.He observedthat though Prakash Chandra had been working as an Engineerin a sugar mill at Seohara and P.W. 10 was employed in theengineering department, P.W. 10 was actually working underone Bachcha Lal and is an independent witness.P.W. 1 hasstated in his evidence that Prakash Chandra, Umesh Chandraand Ram Karan did not have any weapon at the time of theoccurrence.The evidence of the injured witness P.W. 11 isthat when he returned home from Moradabad at about 12.30p.m.on the day of occurrence405he saw his father Prakash Chandra and brother Umesh Chandralying in a pool of blood and that on seeing him Ram Karanshouted that he also should be killed and caught hold of himby his waist and that he was attacked with knives by theaccused persons including Ram Karan and he wielded in self-defence the knife which he had purchased on that day for hiswork.The learned Sessions Judge accepted the evidence ofP.Ws.1, 10 and 11 and commented upon Ram Karan and ChhoteyLal going to the hospital at Bijnor without arranging for areport being given at the Police Station at Seohara in timeand held that the accused were the aggressors and thatDinesh Chandra (P.W. 11) caused injuries to Ram Karan andthe deceased Chhotey Lal in the exercise of the right ofprivate defence.Accordingly he found the accused guilty andconvicted them and sentenced them as mentioned above.The High Court also rejected the defence theory thatChhotey Lal was attacked by three persons armed with knife,chura and khukhri having regard to the fact that he had onlyone lung deep punctured wound and the other four wounds wereonly skin deep and of very minor dimensions.The learned Judges of the High Court found that thename of Anil Kumar is not mentioned in the First InformationReport (Ex. Ka. 3) but instead the name of one Virendra ismentioned and that it appears from the evidence of P.W. 1that Virendra is the name of Prakash Chandra's brother.Theyfound that in the statement of P.W. 11 recorded as dyingdeclaration, Sushil Kumar is mentioned instead of SatishKumar.In these circumstances the learned Judges found thatthere is reasonable doubt regarding the participation of theaccused Anil Kumar and Satish Kumar and they gave thebenefit of that doubt to those two appellants before themand acquitted them.In other respects, the learned Judgesaccepted the evidence of P.Ws. 1, 10 and 11 regarding theoccurrence and rejected the defence version and held theappellants guilty under s. 302 read with s. 34 in respect ofthe murder of Prakash Chandra and Umesh Chandra and under s.307 read with s. 34 in respect of Dinesh Chandra, (P.W. 11)and convicted them accordingly and sentenced them to undergoimprisonment for life under s. 302 read with s. 34 I.P.C.and rigorous imprisonment for four years under s. 307 readwith s. 34 I.P.C.We perused the records and the judgments of the learnedSessions Judge and of the learned Judges of the High Courtand heard the arguments of Mr. R.L. Kohli, Senior Advocatewho appeared for the appellants and of Mr. D.P. Uniyal,Senior Advocate who appeared for the respondent-State ofU.P. We were taken through the evidence of P.Ws. 1, 10 andThe learned Sessions Judge has observed in his judgmentthat the evidence of the three lawyers C.Ws. 1 to 3 iscontradictory, unnatural and not truthful and that if theyhad given honest evidence it would have been easier for thecourt to conclude which side was the aggressor.Thisobservation of the learned Sessions Judge appears to be toosweeping and not correct at least with reference to C.W. 2who has professed ignorance about the actual occurrence inthe case and has stated that he left after asking C.W. 1from outside the baithak of Ram Karan's house to hear whatPrakash Chandra who had gone with him and his deceased sonwanted to tell him because another person Mehboob Ali withwhom he later went to his house was waiting for him in theverandah of Prakash Chandra's house.P.W. 1 has stated that when exchangeof hot words started the Commissioner and Vakils of theparties moved from there to the road and that just when RamKaran's Vakil had gone a short distance from Ram Karan'shouse, Ram Karan and others stated that ""they have got ourthousands of rupees spent over litigation.We have becometired of getting commissions issued.Kill them today so thatthe trouble may be ended for ever.At that time all the fivesons of Ram Karan, Chhotey Lal, Ved Prakash, Satish Kumar,Sunil Kumar and Anil Kumar were present, and when Ram Karansaid so all five sons whipped out knives and startedassulting....."".Even P.W.10 has stated in his evidence that ""when he reached neardharmshala at about 12.45 p.m. he heard the shouts of RamKaran from his house situate at a distance of 30 paces, thatwhen he reached the end of the road he was in a position tosee the house of Ram Karan, that on hearing the shouts heproceeded towards the place from where they came and stoodnear407the wall and found three Vakils present and also PrakashChandra and Umesh Chandra, that as soon as he reached theplace, the Vakils left the place, that Ram Karan then statedthat he got the Commissioner appointed 5 or 6 times andspent several thousands of rupees and he should be killedand that when Ram Karan said so his sons Chhotey Lal and VedPrakash began to attack Prakash Chandra with knives, thatSunil Kumar and Ram Karan's other sons began to assaultUmesh Chandra with knives, that during the marpit PrakashChandra and Umesh Chandra fell down after receivinginjuries, that thereafter Dinesh Chandra, son of PrakashChandra came from the eastern direction, and on seeing himRam Karan shouted that he should also be done to death, andhe caught hold of Dinesh Chandra by his waist, and that allthe four boys and deceased Chhotey Lal began to assaultDinesh Chandra with knives, and Dinesh Chandra wielded hisknife in self-defence and caused injuries to Ram Karan andChhotey Lal and thereafter fell down and becameunconscious...."".This portion of the evidence of P.W. 10also shows that C.Ws. 1 to 3 left the place soon afterexchange of hot words began between the two sides.Therefore, I am of the opinion that there is no reason toreject the evidence of C.W. 2 that no quarrel took placewhen he was present near about the scene of occurrence.Thiscriticism of the learned counsel for the appellants appearsto be well-founded, for I find that a suggestion has beenmade to P.W. 10 in cross-examination and he has admittedthat there is also408another person named Wahid son of Abdul Rehman in hismohalla and that that person was an accused in a riotingcase.And in the cross-examination of P.W. 1 it has beenclearly suggested that he was not present at the spot andthat he prepared the report Ex. Ka. 3 afterwards with someconsultation.P.W. 1 has no doubt denied that suggestion andstated that he was present at the spot and that he himselfwrote the report Ex. Ka.3 before he came out of the houseby opening the door.The learned Judges have stated in theirjudgment that after Ram Karan stated that he has spentthousands of rupees on commissions and every time the reportof the Commissioner was set aside on the objection ofPrakash Chandra and he instigated his sons to kill PrakashChandra and Umesh Chandra, all the five sons of Ram Karanstarted giving knife blows to Prakash Chandra and UmeshChandra and both of them fell down.This portion of thejudgment of the learned Judges is to the effect that all thefive sons of Ram Karan including the deceased Chhotey Lalattacked the deceased Prakash Chandra and Umesh Chandrawhereas it is the case of the prosecution as brought out inthe evidence of P.W. 1 that after Ram Karan instigated hissons to open the attack only Chhotey Lal and Ved Prakashattacked Prakash Chandra with knives and only Sunil Kumar.Anil Kumar and Satish Kumar attacked Umesh Chandra withknives.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Shri Adarsh Muni Trivedi, Sr.Advocate with Shri Ashish Tiwari, Advocate for the objector.Heard on the question of admission.The prosecution case, in short, is that on 30.4.2013 at about 10:15 PM the applicants surrounded the victim Mukul Pandey.The applicant Pradeep Sahu assaulted him by a sword on his head, whereas the applicant Sonu assaulted by baseball bat causing injury on his left eye.The remaining applicants assaulted him by the base of a revolver on his head and some other persons assaulted the victim by kicks and fists.Initially the case was registered for the offence under Sections 147, 148, 149, 506-B, 324 and 341 of IPC whereas the charge sheet was filed for the offence under Sections 147, 148, 149, 294, 506-B, 324, 341, 307 and 201 of IPC.After considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties, it is admitted by both the parties that no fatal or grave injury was caused to the victim Mukul Pandey.The learned counsel for the objector has raised an objection mainly that for constitution of offence under Section 307 of IPC, intention of the accused should be seen.On the basis of the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, at present it is to be seen as to whether prima facie the applicants had an intention to kill the victim Mukul Pandey or not.For framing of the charges, no defence evidence is to be considered and it is the golden yardstick that if the evidence collected by the prosecution is considered and the accused can be convicted for the any offence and if no rebuttal evidence is produced, then charge of that offence shall be framed.In the present case, it would be apparent that there is no allegation against the applicants that they took any contract from anyone to kill the victim Mukul Pandey, and therefore due to their criminal past, no effect would be caused in assessment as to whether a charge under Section 307 of IPC can be framed or not.The victim was assaulted by base of the firearm.If the applicants were interested to kill the victim, then certainly they could use firearm and gun shot injury could have caused to the victim.As submitted by the learned counsel for the State, the witnesses Ramakant and Ravindra have stated that the applicants fired from the gun, but such statements were given one month after the incident.If fire was done by firearm, then the victim could mention this fact in the FIR, and therefore the story told by the witnesses Ramakant and Ravindra that fire was done by the applicants cannot be accepted in the light of the FIR lodged by the victim.Under such circumstances, if the entire conduct of the applicants is seen, then Sonu did not assault for second time, whereas his first assault was not in forceful manner and no fracture was caused in the hand of the victim.The assault of the applicant Pradeep was not forceful, therefore no fatal or grave injury was found to the victim.When one injury was caused in the head of the victim, applicant Pradeep Sahu did not assault for second time.Similarly, the remaining applicants assaulted the victim causing simply injury.They had a firearm but no fire was done, and therefore by examining the entire evidence collected by the prosecution, it cannot be said that the applicants were intended to kill the victim.Hence, prima facie no charge under Section 307 of IPC could be framed against any of the applicants either directly or with the help of Section 149 of IPC.On the basis of the aforesaid discussion, the present revision filed by the applicants can be accepted.The impugned order dated 19.12.2013 passed by the Third Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur in ST No.490/13 is hereby set aside.The applicants are discharged from the charges of offence punishable under Sections 307 or 307/149 of IPC.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code',

+"JUDGMENT A.S. Venkatachalamoorthy, J.One Sundaram, a per meant resident at Periyathatchur Agaram Village, Dindivanam Taluk was returning from Kollidam Thaikkal with his hand cart to his house in Kalaignar Colony at about 20.00 hours on 16.01.1990, when a tractor bearing Registration No. TCO-6043 attached with a Trailor bearing Registration No. TCO-6044, belonging to the 2nd respondent in MCOP No. 206/90 (on the file of the Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, Nagapattinam), driven by one Jagannathan (first respondent in the MCOP) in a rash and negligent manner, came and dashed against him and the cart.In the said incident, the deceased Sundaram sustained serious injuries and subsequently died in Poosai Hospital at Kollidam.Respondents-1 to 4 herein, as petitioners, filed MCOP No. 206 of 1990 against the appellant and Respondents-5 to 7 herein, under Section 166 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, claiming compensation at Rs.1,25,000/-.The first respondent is the wife of the deceased Sundaram while Respondents-2 and 3 are the minor children and the 4th respondent is the sister of the said Sundaram.The appellant herein viz., the owner of the said vehicle resisted the petition contending that the Tractor was driven by the driver slowly and cautiously and it was the deceased, who suddenly crossed the road without noticing the tractor, which ultimately resulted in the accident.Yet another contention has been raised to the effect that he purchased the tractor and trailor under Hire Purchase Scheme from the State Bank of India, Sirkali Branch, the 6th respondent in this appeal and who has agreed to insure the vehicle and renew the same from time to time till the entire loan is cleared and collect the premium from the appellant.In fact, the said Bank did so for the first three years, but however, omitted to renew the Insurance Policy probably due to oversight or negligence.Instead of renewing the policy on or before the expiry date, the Bank paid the premium only on 18.01.1990 that was on the 3rd day of the accident.The Sixth respondent herein viz., State Bank of India, filed a counter statement, denying the claim that they paid the insurance premium for the vehicle to the Insurance Company and therefore, they are liable to pay compensation to the claimants.According to the Bank, the loan was advanced on an agreement for hypothecation of the vehicle and therefore, the petitioner has got a first charge over the vehicle for realisation of the loan advanced to the owner of the vehicle.4.The 7th respondent herein viz., the Insurance Company claimed that since the accident was on 16.01.1990 and the Insurance Policy expired well before that, and the same was renewed only subsequently, that was on 18.1.1990, the Insurance Company is not in any way liable to pay any amount.The Motor Accident Claims Tribunal, after due enquiry, came to the conclusion that the accident took place only due to the rash and negligent driving by its driver and fixed the compensation payable to the claimants at Rs.83,500/- with interest at 12% per annum thereon.Thirdly, it held that the said amount has to be paid only by the owner of the vehicle viz, the appellant herein and completely absolved the Insurance Company of the liability.The owner of the vehicle viz., the appellant herein, being aggrieved by the said award, has filed the above appeal.Respondents-1 to 4 viz., the claimants in the MCOP., have filed Cross Objection No. 57/94, claiming compensation as claimed in the Original Petition.We heard the elaborate submissions made by the counsel for the respective parties.The materials available on record have also been perused.8.Three questions arise for consideration viz., :-(a) Whether the driver of the vehicle was negligent and because of which, the accident had happened?(b) What is the amount of compensation payable to Respondents-1 to 4 viz., the claimants in the O.P.?(c) Who is liable to pay the compensation?As far as the first question is concerned, this Court can safely come to the conclusion that the accident had taken place only because of the rash and negligent driving of the driver of the tractor, for the following reasons:-(i) PW-2 is an eye witness to the occurrence and who is also a person, carrying on a similar profession that of the deceased.He has categorically deposed that he was pulling his cart which was loaded with cement slabs and going behind the deceased, when the accident took place.We perused his testimony and we find no reason to disbelieve the same.(ii) Secondly, the version given by the driver of the tractor is totally contrary to the contents that are found in the complaint given by him before the police.(iii) Thirdly, the motor vehicle Inspector, after proper test, issued Ex.P-3 certificate, which is to the effect that there was no mechanical defect in the said vehicle.(iv) Finally, the driver was prosecuted before the Criminal Court for an offence under Section 304(A) IPC., found guilty and paid fine.The next question is as to what is the amount of compensation that is payable to R-1 to R-4, the claimants in the MCOP.In the petition, it is claimed that the deceased was earning Rs.1200/- per month.The wife of the deceased, as P.W.1, has deposed before Court that the deceased used to earn a sum of Rs.40 to 50/- per day and out of which, he used to pay Rs.10 to 15/- towards the hire charges for the cart.The Tribunal, proceeded on the basis that he would have earned for 25 days in a month, fixed the monthly income at Rs.625/-, and out of which, it deducted the amount which he would have spent for himself and applying the multiplier of 15, fixed the compensation at Rs.58,500/-.PW-1 would claim that her husband used to earn Rs.40/- to 50/- per day and out of which, he used to give Rs.10/- towards hire charges for the cart.PW.3, the owner of the cart has also deposed that he used to collect Rs.10/- from the deceased towards hire charges.So, even taking that the deceased was earning Rs.40/- per day and out of which, deducting Rs.10/- as hire charges, one would arrive at a figure of Rs.30/-.Therefore, on that basis, it can be safely taken that he would have earned a sum of Rs.900/- per month.This Court, applying the unit method, decides to deduct Rs.250/- and take Rs.650/- as the amount he would have contributed to the family per month.Applying the multiplier of 13, we arrive at a figure of Rs.1,01,400/-.With this, we add Rs.15,000/- in all under various heads for special damages including transportation, damages to clothes, cremation expenses, loss of love and affection and arrive at the figure of Rs.1,16,400/- (Rupees one lakh sixteen thousand four hundred only) with interest thereon at 9% per annum from the date of petition.The learned counsel appearing for the State Bank of India at this juncture would contend that since the appellant is questioning only the correctness of the order, in that the Tribunal has not fastened the liability on the bank, the cross objection is not maintainable.But if one goes through the grounds of appeal, particularly ground Nos.5, 7, 10, the appellant has specifically questioned the quantum.The next question is, as to who is liable to pay the compensation.Learned counsel for the appellant contended that only because of the negligence on the part of the State Bank in not renewing the policy before it expired, he has been now made liable to pay and that further, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the Tribunal ought to have directed the State bank to pay the compensation.Learned counsel appearing for the State Bank would contend that though it reserved a right to pay the Insurance Policy if it so desires, no duty was cast on it as per the agreement and that being so, the Bank cannot be fastened with the liability.There can be no doubt with regard to the ownership of the vehicle.On 15.8.1990 when the appellant was driving the car along with others, met with an accident on the National Highway.Let us proceed to consider the second point.We have also pointed out that the State Bank has filed rather a false counter statement in that it has even denied having paid premium for two years i.e., for 1988 and 1989, prior to the accident.In this case, though the claimants have a remedy, as on date the question of their neglecting to avail themselves of the same, does not arise.In the result, the Civil Miscellaneous Appeal is allowed.",['Section 304 in The Indian Penal

' Virendra Singh was limping and his hands were tied on the back.He had seen that Sri J.B.Katariya had assaulted Virendra Singh with lathi and constables were catching hold of his handstand giving him fist blows.Sri J.B.Katariya had given 8-10 lathi blows to Virendra Singh in the Court yard of the police station and all the three accused had kept him in the lock up of the police station.Bhoopat Singh was kept standing in the police station and Inspector told the constables to keep him on standing position.The Inspector had detained one Tractor driver Parvat.He was hearing the moaning of Virendra Singh about two hours and after that he had stopped and he thought that Virendra Singh has succumbed to his Injuries.It is alleged that Pahalwan and Shiv Nayak came there and abused Virendra Singh.On the next day at about 5.00 a,m.Inspector came and released him and told him that whenever he will be required he will call him but Virendra Singh and Bhoopat Singh had not left the police station and insisted for meeting Virendra Singh.There was silence in the police station and he came to know that Virendra Singh succumbed to his injuries.In the cross-examination he has stated that he was interrogated by the officers of C.I.D. and he had given statement that both the constables had caught hold the hands of Virendra Singh and beating him with feast.It was not mentioned in his statement and he cannot give its reason and he could not tell the reason why the names of the persons who assaulted Virendra Singh is not mentioned.He has also not given any reason that why in his statement that all the accused had threatened, dragged and kept him in the lock up is not mentioned.He has also stated that he had informed the Investigating Officer that Pahalwan and constable Shiv Nayak had abused Virendra Singh at the police station but he cannot give any reason why in this statement it was not mentioned.He had not made any complaint about illegal detention to higher authorities.Bhoopat singh (P.W.2) has stated that Shiv Nayak and Pahalwan had came to his house enquiring about Virendra Singh.He had also stated that Inspector J.B.Katariya along with constables Ghanshyam Sharma and one Ram Narain came to his house and later on he was arrested and brought to the police station.Narain Singh was released by the police officer.Subsequently he has stated that Virendra Singh was assulted by Inspector on the leg and both the constables had given him fist blows.On the way to the police station Inspector had detained one Parvat, Tractor driver and they were brought to the police station.Bhoopat Singh has also stated that Virendra Singh was assaulted near the Chakki of Namdeo.In the police station the Inspector.had given several lathi blows to Virendra Singh.Next day he was released from the police station and subsequently he came to know that Virendra Singh had succumbed to his injuries and he informed the father of Virendra Singh and he has also lodged the report.He has stated that he had informed the CO.that his hands and Virendra Singh's hands were tied but it was not mentioned in his statement and he cannot tell any reason why it is not mentioned.He has also stated that he had informed the Investigating Officer that constables had given fist hlows but why it is not mentioned in his statement he cannot tell any reason.He could not give the reason why ""Dono Sipahiyon ne Daroga ko yah kahkar Uksaya ki Virendra ko wahan le chaliye jahan isne sipahi-ko mara tha.He has further stated that he had given this statement to the Investigating Officer."" Sipahiyon ne Darogaji se kaha tha ki Virendra ko itna maro ki isko pata chal jay aur sab gaon wale dekhate rahen"" why this statement was not written he cannot tell the reason.Pahar Singh (P.W.3) has stated that he was standing on the Tigadda and he saw that J.B.Katariya standing there and after two minutes one Tractor came from which Ram Narain, Ghanshyam Sharma, Bhoopat Singh and Virendra Singh got down.On 9-4-87 he had interrogated the accused J.B.Katariya, Constables Ghanshyam Sharma and Ram Narain and also recorded the statements of Shiv Narain and Pahalwan.On 22-4-87 he had recorded statement of Dr. S.S. Singhal, Dr. C.N.Shukla, Constable Brahma Singh and Head Moharrir Parvat Singh.On 23-4-87 he had recorded the statements of Chhatrapal Singh, Ram Singh, Mahendra Singh,Lal Singh, Gaya Prasad, Bhanu Pratap, Bal Chand and Namdeo.On 22-8-87 he had recorded the statement of tractor driver Parvat Singh On 20-11-87 he had recorded the statements of Narain son of Takat Singh and Uma Vilash Awasthi, S:D.M. On 9-12-87 he had recorded the statement of CO.He has denied about the presence of any other witness at the police station.He has denied that Virendra Singh was assaulted at the police station.On 30-12-91 he had submitted charge sheet against the accused persons.The learned Sessions Judge had convicted and sentenced J.B.Katariya under Section 302 I.P.C. for life imprisonment and under Section 342 I.P.C. for six months and the appellants Ghanshayam Sharma and Ram Narain were convicted and sentenced to undergo R.I. for a period of 6 months on each count of under Section 323/34, 342 I P.C.We have heard learned counsel for the parties and have perused the record.Therefore, when accused Virendra Singh was arrested he was wanted as an accused in a cognizable offence.No specific allegation of assault made by these, accused constables upon Virendra Singh was made in the F.I.R. nor such an allegation could be made by the witnesses in their statements recorded during investigation.Realizing this infirmity in the prosecution case, P.W. 1 Jujhar Singh and P.W.2 Bhoopat Singh tried to embellish for the first time in their deposition before the Court that these constables also participated in the assault made on the deceased Virendra Singh soon after the later was arrested.P.W.2 stated that both these constables has given fists blows to Virendra Singh when he was brought to police station after his arrest but again even this allegation is not found to be contained in his statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. as admitted by the Investigating officer.It may be relevant to mention here that Pahar Singh, P.W.3, Narain, P.W.4, Parvat P.W.5 and Narain Singh P.W.6 have not stated of any beating on deceased at the hands of these accused constables.It would be too risky to place implicit reliance on this improved version put.forward by these witnesses for the first time in Court.We, therefore, reject the testimony of P.W. 1 and P.W.2 to this extent and extend the benefit of doubt to these appellants who had merely accompanied the Station Officer, Sri Katariya to cause the arrest of deceased, who was wanted as an accused in a cognizable case already registered at the police station.Accordingly benefit of doubt has to be extended to these appellants and they are entitled to be acquitted.Now the case of J.B.Katariya is that he had arrested the deceased Virendra Singh and he had died while he was in custody.A perusal of the F.I.R. indicates that specific allegations are made against the Station House Officer, J.B. Katariya.All the prosecution witnesses are consistent with regard to the role of J.B.Katariya.He had arrested Virendra Singh and assaulted while he was brought to the police station.Jujhar Singh (P.W.I) has stated that J.B.Katariya had given 8-10 lathi blows to Virendra Singh and then he was kept in the lock up.Bhoopat Singh (P.W, 2) has also stated that in the Court yard of the police station the inspector J.B.Katariya had given lathi blow to Virendra Singh.Pahar Singh (P.W.3) has also specifically stated that J.B.Katariya had given lathi blow to Virendra Singh.Narain (P.W.4) has also stated that after the arrest of Virendra Singh inspector had given lathi blow to him.Parvat (P.W.5) has also stated about the role of the inspector.Narain Singh (P.W.6) has also supported the prosecution case as regard the assault by the Inspector is concerned.Thus prosecution witnesses examined clearly stated that J.B.Katariya had assaulted Virendra Singh at Sojna Tigadda as well as inside the police station.The witnesses who are eye witnesses of the incident in question fully supported the prosecution version in unequivocal term that J.B.Katariya gave number of lathi blows to the deceased Virendra Singh.The post mortem report also supports the eye witness account.The doctor who had conducted the post mortem examination had found lathi injuries all over the body of Virendra Singh deceased, Thus prosecution has fully proved its case against J.B.Katariya,Learned Counsel for the appellant, J.B.Katariya submitted before the Court that the post mortem report indicates that all the antemortem injuries were on non- vital part.There was no oozing of blood from any injury nor any fracture was found underneath any ante mortem injury.Each one of the ante mortem injury is a simple injury.Deceased was wearing a full pant when he was assaulted no part thereof was found torn.No blood came out to be visible from outside.Accused, therefore, could not be presumed to be having knowledge of the injuries, which in fact had been sustained by the deceased when he was assaulted with Danda.It was strenuously urged that in these circumstances no case under Section 302 I.P.C. can be said to have been made out and the offence would not travel beyond the ambit of Section 323 I.P.C. We find ourselves unable to accept this submission of learned counsel for the appellant.From the evidence available on record both documentary and oral we are satisfied that J.B.Katariya had caused injuries to deceased Virendra Singh while he was in police custody and even if it is not possible to say that he intended to cause the death of Virendra Singh, but he can certainly be clothed with the knowledge that the injuries which were being caused to the deceased at the police station were likely to cause his death though probably without any intention to cause his death, or even to cause such bodily injuries to him as were likely to cause death.The offence would fall under Section 304- Part II I.P.C. So far offence under Section 342 I.P.C. is concerned it is admitted that deceased was not wrongfully confined.He was arrested in a case under Section 307 I.P.C. His arrest and detention was not illegal.His conviction under Section 342 I.P.C. is set aside.In the result criminal appeal No. 22 of 1998 is allowed.The appellants Ghanshyam Sharma and Ram Narain are acquitted for the offences charged for.They are on bail.They need not surrender.Their bail bonds are cancelled and sureties discharged.Criminal appeal No. 2350 of 1997 is partly allowed.The appellant J.B.Katariya is convicted under Section 304 Part II I.P.C. in place of Section 302 I.P.C. He is sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years and a fine of Rs. 25,000/- and in default of payment of fine he shall undergo further imprisonment for six months.He is on bail.State appeal No. 1315 of 1998 is dismissed.","['Section 342 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Being an eye-witness, he deposed about his presence on duty at the concerned bus stand when at about 10 : 10 a.m., the bus driven by the petitioner, proceeded very fast and hit a person standing there.ORDER S. Ravindra Bhat, J.In this revision under Sections 397/401, Criminal Procedure Code, the petitioner challenges the concurrent findings of the Courts by which he was convicted of the offences under Sections 279/304-A, Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sentenced to undergo six months' simple imprisonment (for the offence under Section 279) and one year's simple imprisonment (for the offence under Section 304-A).The facts are that according to the prosecution on 13-9-1999 at 10 a.m., at a main 100 ft. road, the petitioner was found ' driving a bus in a rash and negligent manner.This led to an accident in which one Joginder Singh, a by-stander, in the bus stand, was struck and received fatal injuries.In support of its case, the prosecution relied upon the deposition of 12 witnesses.It was alleged that a Constable, one Niranjan (P.W. 11) removed the injured to the hospital.The bus sped away.He identified the bus number and narrated how a PCR van arrived at the spot, how he took the injured to the hospital and later identified the driver of the bus, i.e. the petitioner.This witness as well as all other prosecution witnesses were cross-examined.The trial Court, by its judgment dated 7-8-2006 convicted the petitioner and awarded the sentence impugned.Learned Counsel contended that the judgments of the Courts below are vitiated because they have believed the conjectures and surmises of the prosecution.It was contended that the strongest eye-witness P.W. 11 was a planted witness.The efforts of the defense, i.e. the petitioner to prove that he was in fact not present at the site by production of the duty roster despite an application under Section 311, Cr. P.C., were frustrated.It was contended that if this course had been adopted, the petitioner would have conclusively proved that P.W. 11 was not at the site and could not, therefore, have claimed to be an eye-witness.Learned Counsel claimed that the conduct of P.W. 11, even if the facts alleged by him were assumed to be true were unnatural to say the least as, being charged with enforcement of the law, if indeed P.W. 11 had witnessed the incident, the least expected of him was to give a chase which he admittedly did not.Learned Counsel lastly contended that, taken as a whole, the findings arrived at by the Courts below were unsupported by the evidence which nowhere showed that the petitioner drove the vehicle in a rash and negligent manner.It was submitted that the mere allegation of the bus having been driven at a fast speed did not lead to the inference that it was driven in a rash and negligent manner.The appellate Court, in its impugned judgment, inter alia, held as follows:Having heard arguments from both the sides and after perusal of the record, I do not find any infirmity or illegality in the order as learned MM has carefully scrutinized the evidence in the light of available material on record as regard the identity of the accused driving the erring vehicle.The statement of P.W. 1 Ct.Niranjan Sharma recorded at GTB Hospital, Delhi where injured was removed by him, is worth mentioning.It, inter alia, mentions that on 13-9-1999, he was present at the bus stand of 212 on his duty from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at about 10:10 p.m. Bus No. DEP 9770 came from the Seempauri side being driven by bus driver in a fast speed and in a rash and negligent manner and it struck the pedestrains standing at the bus stand waiting for bus and ran towards Durgapuri.In the meanwhile, PCR van baker 13 came.It passed the message through the wireless set.The MLC of the victim shows arrival of victim at 10:35 a.m. on 13-9-1999 and victim was brought by P.W. 11 Ct.Niranjan Sharma whose number is also mentioned as 1496 PS Nand Nagri.It at least goes to show that the victim was brought from the place of accident to the hospital by P.W. 11 Ct.Niranjan Singh.At this stage, it cannot be said that by not proving the duty roster of this Constable, an inference can be reached that he was not on duty at that place on the fateful day.It can be presumed that official duties were performed in normal course of nature and there is no reason as to why just to solve the case, IO will introduce a false witness.Even the statement of TI Brahm Singh P.W. 8 went unrebutted who testified that the accused was on duty in the bus No. DEP 9770 from 4:20 a.m. to 12:20 p.m. on 13-9-1999 at DTC bus route No. 205 from Seempauri to Koriya Pull.Accused was caught on the same bus route by the PCR officials.P.W. 11 was an eye-witness.During the trial, no attempt was made to impeach his version about his presence indeed he was extensively cross-examined.The effort of the petitioner to have the Roznama summoned at the appellate stage, therefore, cannot be viewed as an entirely innocent exercise.It is more in the nature of a desperate attempt to evade and deflect his role.The testimony of P.W. 11 was found to be credulous.","['Section 304A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 279 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The appellant has been in custody since 30th March, 2017 and charge-sheet in the matter has been filed; therefore, the appellant is entitled to be released on bail.Learned Government Advocate on the other hand has opposed the bail application.Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, in their entirety, particularly the facts as pointed out by learned counsel for the appellant; in the opinion of this Court, it would be appropriate to allow this appeal and release appellant Raju @ Raj Kumar Prajapati on bail.It is directed that appellant Raju @ Raj Kumar Prajapati shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 40,000/- with one solvent surety in the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before that Court on all dates fixed in the case and for complying with the conditions enumerated under Section 437 (3) of the Cr.P.C.

PW-6 Heeralal Patel deposed that he had seen all the three accused persons running from the spot.Same facts have been deposed by PW-7 Ramsundar Verma.The doctor (PW-8), who performed autopsy of the deceased deposed that he had noticed six injuries on the person of the body of the deceased.There was an injury on the left temporal region of the head and on internal examination, there was hematoma on temporal parietal 8 Cr.A.No.1504/2004 Sunil & others Vs.State of M.P.There was fracture of parietal bone also.He opined that the deceased died due to injuries suffered by him on the head.The evidence of doctor establishes the fact that the deceased was not beaten by three persons namely Sushila, Asha and Sunil.As per the prosecution case, there was a quarrel between the appellant No. 1-Sunil and the deceased because the appellant No. 1 made a demand from the deceased to pay the money because deceased had damaged his auto.It is also a fact that the marriage of the appellant No.1-Sunil was fixed and the appellants No.2 and 3 had come to attend the marriage and preparations of the marriage of the appellant No.1 was going on in the house.It is unbelievable that two female members will accompany a male member with lathies to beat the deceased.The evidence depicts that the appellants No.2 and 3 have been roped in and falsely implicated with the case.The trial Court, in our opinion, has committed an error in holding the appellants No.2 and 3 guilty for the offence.In regard to appellant No.1 there is evidence that he had inflicted one injury on vital part of the person of deceased i.e. on the head and other injuries on non-vital parts.The doctor in his evidence opined that cause of death was the injury which was on the head of the deceased.The Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Arjun and another vs State of Chhattisgarh, (2017) 3 SCC 247 has 9 Cr.He had come at the residence of the deceased, which is at a distance of near about 300 meters from the residence of the appellant No.1, and asked the deceased that why he had damaged his auto and directed him to pay the money.Thereafter, there was quarrel.That time the appellant No.1-Sunil had given blows of lathi on the person of the body of the deceased.One blow landed on the head of the deceased, which was the cause of death of the deceased.Thus, the incident occurred due to sudden altercation and the appellant No.1 had not taken undue advantage or acted in cruel manner.Hence, in our opinion, in view of the evidence on record, exception 4 of Section 300 of IPC is applicable.Hence, the offence committed by the appellant No.1-Sunil would a be a case of Section 304 part I of IPC.A.No.1504/2004 Sunil & others Vs.State of M.P.Consequently, the appeal filed by the appellants No.2- Sushila Vishwakrma and appellant No.3-Asha Vishwakarma is hereby allowed.They are acquitted form the charge under Section 302 of IPC.They are on bail, their bail bonds are discharged.The Appeal filed by the appellant No.1-Sunil Kumar Vishwakarma is partly allowed.Hence, he has completed actual jail sentence of near about 13 and half years.","['Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"acquitted of the offences under Sections 147, 148, 302/149, 323/149, 294, 336, 188 and 395 of the Indian Penal Code (""IPC"" for short).Prosecution case, in brief, is that on 10/10/2008, between 3.30 to 4 p.m., communal riots having broken out in the Burhanpur City, complainant Suresh Shukla, a Tampo Driver along with his brother Rakesh Shukla returned to his home and parked the Tampo in front of his house.At that juncture, 10-12 rioters arrived and started pelting stones.When Rakesh came out of the Tampo, 2-3 miscreants, with an intention to cause his death assaulted him leading to injuries on his right hand, shoulder, back and head.Rakesh fell on the spot.As complainant Suresh came forward to rescue Rakesh, he was also beaten by them.He received injuries on his right knee, leg, back and others caused by stone.After beating them, the brawlers, fled from the spot.Amongst them, Gulli, Chhota Baba, Munir, Mannu Mahelwar, Aasif and brother of Mahmood Leader were identified by the complainant.During the incident, the rioters also looted his household articles.The incident was witnessed by Vijay, Kadam, Dilip, Punam Shukla, Kamlesh Shukla etc., who had come on the spot hearing the cries of the complainant.Matter was reported at Police Station Lalbagh and, as during treatment, Rakesh succumbed to the injuries thus sustained, offence under Section 302 of the IPC was also added.After investigation, charge-sheet was filed.Learned Government Advocate submitted that the impugned judgment was passed without proper appreciation of evidence on record and deserves to be set-aside.Having regard to the arguments advanced by learned Government Advocate, we have gone through the impugned judgment and record of the trial Court.Complainant and eye-witness Suresh (PW4) had identified only respondent nos.5,7 namely Aminuddin, Riyazuddin alias Raju, as well as Sabir and Naeem.In the First Information Report (for short ""FIR""), it is mentioned that incident had occurred at the house of the complainant, but, as per the evidence led by the prosecution, the offence was committed near Sulabh Shouchalaya, which was situated five houses away from the house of the complainant and, therefore, it was not possible to hear the commotion arising at the spot from the house of the complainant and to ascertain the location of spot, with the consent of both the parties, report of Commissioner N.K.Patel was called by the trial Court.As per the facts mentioned in the FIR, deceased Rakesh was brought to the Hospital in a seriously injured condition in a Tampo, but, Dr. Dilip Patidar (PW1) has testified that Rakesh had himself come for medical aid and this fact is mentioned in MLC report (Ex.P/1) also.In the FIR, it is mentioned that the rioters had veiled their faces.Compliance of Section 157 of the Code was also not done.Presence of human blood could not be ascertained on the sword seized from Sharif.There were material contradictions, omissions and exaggerations in the evidence of witnesses.Dilip (PW8), Devendra Singh (PW12), Rizwan Khan (PW13), Vijay (PW15) were declared hostile.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 application for grant of leave to file appeal, being devoid of merit and substance, stands dismissed.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 336 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323

+"On 12-5-84 at about 15.00 hours Jasodabai (PW 1) was going to her work at the ^I;k* near Jawar Jod.She had a bucket in her hand.JUDGMENT P.N.S. Chauhan, J.A metador No. MBI 9072 came from the side of Metwara and after crushing Jasodabai broke down the barbed wire fencing of the road-side plantation damaged the plants and stuck in the ditch.The scene of occurrence being within the jurisdiction of Jawar P.S. in Sehore district the papers were transferrd to that P.S. by Sonkatch police.Inquest was held and post mortem of the dead body was conducted by Dr. Riaz Hussain whose report is Ex.P-4, which is an admitted document.It is not in dispute that Jashodabai died of injuries sustained in the said accident.The respondent-accused denied his presence in the vehicle at the time of the accident though his driving license was amongst the document that were seized from the metador.Therefore he did not consider it necessary to record a finding on the other point of rash and negligent driving and acquitted the accused which has been challenged in this appeal by the State.The learned counsel for the respondent after concluding his arguments sought leave to give a list of citations the next day.Instead of a list of citations he has presented a detailed written arguments.Nor a commendable practice indeed.Shri V.N. Shukla (PW 10) the then station house officer Jawar has stated that he seized registration, fitness certificate, insurance and driving license of the vehicle involved in the accident vide seizure memo Ex.In absence of cross examination on this point the arguments that Ex.P-8 should not be held duly proved because Shri Sanjay Prabhakar from whose possession the documents are alleged to have been seized and the independent witnesses of seizure have not been examined, deserves to be rejected.There is no reason whatsoever to assume that Shri Shukla has prepared this false document.The evidence of police officer has to be judged like evidence of any other witness, on its intrinsic worth on prima facie presumption of his honesty and conscientiousness.There is no reason for presuming him to be a highly interested witness (Khima v. State of Saurashtra, AIR 1956 SC 217 : (1956 Cri LJ 421).Ex. P. 8, therefore is not liable to be assailed as not duly proved which shows that inter alia respondent's driving license was seized from the possession of Shri Sanjay Prabhakar who was present on the spot when Shri Shukla reached there after getting unconfirmed information of the incident.In para 3 of his statement Shri Shukla has clarified that San-jay Prabhakar and Parasmal Sindhi were detained by the crowd on the spot who informed him that the driver had run away.Thus it is clear that though respondent's licence was found alongwith other documents in the possession of Sanjay Prabhakar soon after the incident the respondent himself was not present there.Sanjay Prabhakar was one of the occupants of the vehicle involved in the accident.This is proved by Ex.P-7 showing seizure of the said metador from his possession.From the particulars of Sanjay Prabhakar given in Ex.P.6 and 7 it is clear that he is resident of Nasik.This vehicle also belongs to an industrial unit of Nasik.Therefore, it is clear that Sanjay Prabhakar was one of the occupants of this vehicle.There was no other driving license amongst the papers seized.The respondent as also the vehicle do not come from the area where the accident took place.In these circumstances the fact as to how his driving license came to be amongst the documents of this vehicle in his absence being within the exclusive knowledge of the respondent he was expected to explain the same Under Section 106 of Evidence Act. No such explanation is forthcoming.There is sufficient evidence to show that the driver had run away in the statements of Murlidhar (PW 1) Babulal (PW 2) Moolchand (PW 5) and Madanlal (PW 6), therefore even if the statement of Shri Shukla that this fact was conveyed to him by Sanjay and Parasmal is to be excluded from consideration being hit Under Section 162, Cr.P.C. the fact that the driver of the vehicle managed to escape after the accident stands fully proved.Another crucial document is Ex.The arrest memorandum of respondent proved by Shri D.S. Patil (PW 9) A.S.I. police outpost Metware.He has stated that he arrested the respondent on his voluntary surrender on 21-5-84 vide Ex.P-12 at Metware Police outpost.The fact that the respondent voluntarily surrendered has been assailed on the ground that this fact was not put to him Under Section 313, Cr.P.C. The criticism is misconceived.The respondent has been asked in question No. 24 that he was arrested vide Ex. P-12 and he denied the fact of such arrest.Thus it is seen that on 21-5-84 when the vehicle was to be received back from the police custody the respondent had come along with the said Begool and had surrendered before A.S.I. Shri Patil.There is no conceivable reason to doubt the varacity of Shri Patil in his behalf.The learned trial magistrate rejected this clinching evidence on the erroneous ground that Shri Patil has not disclosed what was stated by the respondent at the time of surrender.Whatever the respondent might have said being self incriminatory, would have amounted to confession and would be inadmissible in view of the bar Under Section 25 of the Evidence Act. Even otherwise the evidence on the point of surrender had no linkage with what the respondent stated before the police at the time of surrender and therefore the abovesaid reason for rejecting the said evidence is wholly untenable.But in this case as shown above the discrepant ocaular evidence notwithstanding the facts and circumstances proved, leave no reasonable doubt that the metador being driven by the respondent.Appreciation of evidence is a difficult art and demands a meticulous analytic eye capable of seeing the parts as also the whole picture in one simultaneous process in absence whereof the most likely casualty in justice.From the evidence of Murlidhar (PW 1) husband of the deceased, Babulal (PW 2), Moolchand (PW 5) and Madanlal (PW 6) the picture that emerges is that deceased Jasoda was going with the bucket in her hand to fetch water.She was on her left side of the road.The metador in question came at a high speed from the side of Motwara and after hitting Jasoda went off the road breaking down the fencing of road-side plantation and got stuck up in the ditch.In result the appeal succeeds.",['Section 304A in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"The father of the informant died about a year prior to the lodging of the complaint.Gangarani Bagdi.But very often Sasth tried to have illicit relation with Gangarani forcibly.On the date of incident in the evening Sasthi and his elder brother Ananda being highly excited entered into the house of the informant and tried to lift Gangarani.The informant with his brothers resisted and Ananda with the help of 'kencha' and Sasthi with the help of dagger (chora) attacked the informant and his brothers.The informant somehow managed to escape and took shelter in the house of one Ghosh.JUDGMENT Kalidas Mukherjee, J.This appeal is directed against the judgment of conviction and sentence passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge.2nd Court, Bankura convicting Sasthi Bagdi and Ananda Bagdi and sentencing them to suffer imprisonment for life and to pay fine of Rs. 5.000/- each in default S.I. for six months under Section 302/34, I.P.C. One Dilip Bagdi lodged complaint with the O.C. of Patrasayer P.S. alleging that on 25-2-1995 at about 6.00 p.m. his brother Bhagya Bagdi alias Ajit Bagdi was stabbed to death by Sasthi Bagdi.The second brother of the informant could not escape and he was assaulted in his back and neck by means of dagger.The aunt of the informant tried to resist but she was assaulted on her leg by Ananda Bagdi by means of 'kencha'.After the receipt of the complaint the P.S. case was started under Section 302/324, I.P.C. After completion of investigation charge sheet was submitted.The learned trial Judge on perusal of the materials on record framed charge under Section 302/34, I.P.C. and 324/34,I. P.C., against both the accused persons to which they pleaded not guilty and claimed for trial.In this case the prosecution examined as many as 20 P. Ws, including the persons of the neighborhood, the witnesses of seizure, Autopsy Surgeon and I. O. P.W. 1 Falguni Ghosh.P.W. 2 Kalidasi Delut, P.W. 9 Yudhisthir Ghosh, P.W. 11 Swapan Ghosh.P.W. 15 Dilip Bagdi (de facto complainant) were declared hostile.The learned Trial Judge upon consideration of the materials on record was pleased to pass the Judgment of conviction and sentence holding that both the accused persons committed the murder of Bhagya Bagdi in the manner as stated by the prosecution but, the charge under Section 324, I.P.C. against the Ananda Bagdi was not proved as the injured Kalidasi was declared hostile and did not make any allegation against accused Ananda Bagdi.The learned Trial Judge observed that in the result the charge under Section 302/34, I, P.C. as framed against both the accused persons was proved beyond any manner of doubt, but, the charge under Section 324 I.P.C. against Ananda Bagdi failed.The learned Trial Judge ultimately convicted Sasthi Bagdi and Ananda Bagdi under Section 302/34, I.P.C. and passed the sentence as aforesaid.The learned Judge acquitted Ananda Bagdi of the charge under Section 324, I.P.C.Mr. Kumar contends that the another son of Gangarani was not examined and there is no explanation for such non-examination.It is further contended that the offence was committed at 18.00 hours on 25-2-1995 and it was reported to the P.S. on 26-2-1995 at 7.15 hours and there is evidence to show that Madanbabu and Pranab got sufficient time for fabrication in the matter of lodging of the complaint.Mr, Kumar submits that the place of occurrence is doubtful, Mr, Kumar contends that in view of the evidence on record the learned Trial Judge was not justified in recording the order of conviction and sentence.It is contended that the evidence of P.. Ws. remains unchallenged on material points.It is contended that from the evidence of PW 10 it would appear that both the accused persons Ananda and Sasthi ran after the Bhagya and stabbed him by means of a knife three times.Mr. Mukherjee contends that although it is not in the evidence of other P. Ws.that Ananda also chased Bhagya and caught hold of him, it is in the evidence that Ananda was present with Sasthi from the very beginning till the infliction of assault by Sasthi on Bhagya and this goes to show that there was active participation on the part of Ananda and the learned Trial Judge was justified in convicting Ananda under Section 302, I.P.C. with the aid of Section 34, I.P.C.Mr. Mukherjee contends that the offending weapon was recovered under Section 27 of the Evidence Act in pursuance of the statement made by the accused and there was no suggestion from the defence that the weapon allegedly recovered was not the same with which the assault was allegedly inflicted on Bhagya.Mr. Mukherjee thus contends that having regard to the evidence on record the learned trial Judge was justified in convicting both the accused persons under Section 302/34, I.P.C. and there is no ground to interfere with the findings of the learned trial Judge.As regards the assault by accused Sasthi upon Bhagya it is in the F.I.R. that on 25-2-1995 at about 6.00 p.m. Sasthi and Ananda being highly excited entered into the house of the informant and they wanted to lift the mother of the informant.It is also in the F.I.R. that being resisted, Sasthi by means of dagger assaulted Bhagya on the back and the neck.It has also been mentioned in the F.I.R. that several blows were dealt on Bhagya by accused Sasthi.From the ocular version of the prosecution case as stated by p. W. 3, P.W. 10, P.W. 13, P.W. 14, P.W. 17 and P.W. 18 it appears that on the date of incident at about 5.30/6.00 p.m. Sasthi and Ananda went to the house of Ganga and being resisted by the sons of Ganga Sasthi assaulted Bhagya by means of dagger on the verandah of Shankar Ghosh (P.W. 3).From the evidence of these P. Ws.it is clear that Sasthi dealt the blow on Bhagya as a result of which Bhagya succumbed to the injuries.The evidence of the P. Ws.remained unshaken after undergoing the test of cross-examination.Nothing has been elicited in the cross-examination of these P. Ws.so as to cast any shadow of doubt upon the veracity of their testimony.There is also no doubt as to the place of occurrence which is the verandah of Shankar Ghosh (PW 3).Another important aspect of the prosecution case is the recovery of the offending weapon pursuant to the statement made by the accused under Section 27 of the Evidence Act. Mr. Mukherjee has drawn our attention to the evidence of P.W. 5, P.W. 6, P.W. 10 and P.W. 17 regarding the recovery of the offending weapon.It is in the evidence of P.W. 5, P.W. 6 and P.W. 17 that Sasthi led the police to his house wherefrom he brought out the dagger and handed over it to the police in their presence and the.seizure list was also prepared on the spot wherein they signed.Nothing has been elicited in the cross-examination of the P. Ws.so as to cast any shadow of doubt on the said recovery of the offending weapon.Mr. Kumar in this regard submits that the offending weapon has not been sent to the F.S.L. for examination and report.The I. O. (P.W. 20) has stated that he did not send the seized articles for chemical expert's report to ascertain whether there was any human blood with the seized articles or not.as to the infliction of assault on Bhagya and the recovery of offending weapon pursuant to the statement of accused Sasthi, the non-examination of the weapon by the F.S.L. would not in any way shake the veracity of the prosecution case.As regards the medical evidence, the doctor (P.W. 7) has noted the following injuries on the dead body of Bhagya Bagdi aged 17 years:a) One sharp cutting very deep extending up to cervical vertebrae injury at near right side of neck of sterno clavicular Joint measuring 1 1/2"" x 1/2 with deep cutting all cervical vessels on right side.b) There is 1"" x 1/2"" sharp cutting incised wound over the manubrium sterni.c) There is 2 1/2"" x 1 1/2"" incised muscles deep injury at right scapular region with bleeding.In my opinion cause of death is due to shock and haemorrhage of following above injuries by sharp cutting instrument like knife or dagger of ante mortem and homicidal in nature.All the injuries are sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature.In the cross-examination P.W. 7 has stated this type of injury can be caused if anyone is stabbed by a knife.We find that the ocular version of the prosecution case finds ample corroboration from the evidence of the Autopsy Surgeon.So having regard to the evidence of the P. Ws.The learned Trial Judge therefore, was justified in convicting the accused Sasthi and passing the sentencing as aforesaid.We do not find any ground to interfere with the order of conviction and sentence as recorded by the learned Trial Judge in respect of appellant Sasthi.As regards the conviction and sentence in respect of appellant Ananda it in the evidence of P.W. 10 that Ananda and Sasthi ran after Bhagya and caught hold of Bhagya by the side of their 'baithakkhana' and then Sasthi stabbed by a knife three times on the person of Bhagya.From the materials on record we find that only PW 10 has stated that Ananda also chased and caught hold of Bhagya.Excepting P.W. 10 no other P. Ws. stated that Ananda ran after Bhagya and caught hold of him.Moreover, in the F.I.R. there is no mention that Ananda ran after Bhagya and took active part in the matter of infliction of assault upon Bhagya.The allegation against Ananda as stated in the F.I.R. is that he inflicted assault on Kalidasi on her leg by means of 'kancha' and as Kalidasi (P.W. 2) did not support the infliction of injury upon her, the accused Ananda was acquitted by the learned Trial Judge.In order to convict Ananda under Section 302, I.P.C. for causing death of Bhagya with the aid of Section 34 of the I.P.C., the prosecution has to prove that there was prior concert or pre-arranged plan.From the evidence on record we do not find that there was prior meeting of minds amongst the appellants for inflicting assault on Sasthi to cause his death.From the evidence on record we find that both the appellants came to the house of Ganga with the intent to lift Ganga as Sasthi had illicit relation with Ganga and on being resisted, Sasthi dealt the fatal blow on Bhagya as a result of which he succumbed to the injuries.The lone testimony of P.W. 10 that Ananda also chased and caught hold of Bhagya is not sufficient to warrant conviction of appellant Ananda with the aid of Section 34 of the I.P.C.Let a copy of this order along with the L.C.R. be sent to the learned Trial Court immediately.Urgent xerox certified copy, if applied for, be handed over to the parties as early as possible.Alok Kumar Basu, J.I agree.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(Under Article 32 of the Constitution of India).R.K. Jain, R.P. Singh and Rakesh Khanna for the petitioners.S.C. Mahanto, C.V.S. Rao and Mahabir Singh for theRespondents.The Judgment of the Court was delivered by B.C. RAY, J. The petitioners who are life convicts inthis writ petition have assailed a D.O. Letter No.4665/1983-GI/G4/R.10-84 dated 24.4.1985 issued by the re-spondent No. 3, Inspector General of Prisons, Haryana,Chandigarh intimating to the Superintendent of Jail thatconvicts who are on bail and whose sentences are suspended,are excluded from the remissions systems in view of theprovisions of Section 637 of the Punjab Jail Manual on theground that the aforesaid letter purports to deprive thepetitioners from the benefit of remissions of 19 months and12 days granted to them during the period they were on bail,while counting the total period of sentence including remis-sions undergone by them in order to consider their cases ofpre-mature release from imprisonment.The petitioner No. 1, Jai Prakash was convicted by theDistrict and Sessions Judge, Bhiwani, on December 4, 1975under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and he was award-ed life imprisonment.Against this judgment and order of theSessions Judge he preferred an appeal before the High Courtof Punjab and Haryana and he was granted bail on 12.1.1976.This appeal, however, was dismissed on 28.9.1978 and he wasarrested on 29.1.1979 while he was going to the Court tosurrender himself to serve out the remaining part of thesentence as stated by him.The petitioner has stated thatduring the period he was on bail he earned remission of 19months and 12 days.Similarly, the petitioner Nos. 2 to 5 were also convict-ed by the District and Sessions Judge, Bhiwani, on 23.3.1976 in a case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Codeand they were awarded life imprisonment.1979 for serving out theirremaining part of sentence.The petitioner Nos. 2 to 5 werealso given remissions of 19 months and 12 days during theperiod they remained on bail.It has been stated that though all the petitioners weregiven remissions of 19 months and 12 days and they wereunder the impression that the period of remission earned bythem would be taken into consideration under para 637 ofPunjab Jail Manual while computing their sentence under Para516-B of the Punjab Jail Manual.They have now been informedby the respondent No. 3 as per his letter dated 24.4.1985addressed to the Superintendent, District Jail, Bhiwani,respondent No. 2, that the convicts who were on bail andwhose sentences were suspended would be excluded from theremissions purported to be earned by them while they were onbail.The petitioners have submitted that a number of pris-oners to whom remissions were given during the period whenthey were on bail were also released by the State Governmentafter taking into consideration the remissions granted tothem during the period when they were on bail or that theirsentence had been suspended.Names of six persons werementioned in the petition who were pre-maturely released.The petitioners have also stated that since they surrenderedthemselves before the jail authority after dismissal oftheir appeals by the High Court they are entitled to havethe period of remissions earned by them to be counted whileconsidering the total period of sentence undergone for theirpremature release.A counter-affidavit affirmed by the Superintendent ofDistrict Jail, Bhiwani has been filed.The petitioners are not entitled to thebenefit claimed as they had not surrendered in the jail forundergoing the remaining period of the sentence.The appealof petitioner No. 1 had been dismissed on 28.9.1978 but hedid not surrender for several months.According to the petitioners' own averments in para 2of the petition, the other four writ petitioners remainedout of jail for more than two months after the dismissal oftheir appeal.It is evident that they had not surrendered inthe jail for undergoing the remaining period of sentenceimmediately after dismissal of their appeals.It has also been stated that similar cases of remissionearned during the period of bail came up before the HighCourt of Punjab and Haryana and it was held by the HighCourt that special remissions were not available to theconvicts who had not surrendered voluntarily on the expiryof the bail period.It has been stated further that non-surrender of the convict for1112several months after dismissal of appeal by itself showedthat the surrender was not voluntary and such a convict didnot merit the remission and an interpretation different fromthat would defeat the administration of justice.It has beenaverred that petitioners could not avail of the remissionsordered erroneously and inadvertently not in accordance withthe relevant rules.As regards the six specific cases men-tioned, it has been stated that the benefit was given toTuhi Ram and Dig Ram only but not in the cases of the otherfour convicts referred to in the petition.They were deniedthe benefit as it is being done to the petitioners.""MANUAL FOR THE SUPERINTENDENCE AND MANAGEMENT OF JAILS IN THE PUNJABThe submission thatthe petitioners who were temporarily released on bail areentitled to get the remission earned during the period theywere under bail, is not at all sustainable.As such theremissions that were inadvertently given to these petition-ers cannot be taken into account in considering the total 1113period of sentence undergone by them while considering theirpremature release from imprisonment under paragraph 637 ofthe Punjab Jail Manual.It also appears from the order ofthe Governor of Haryana dated 14th August, 1977 annexed asAnnexure 'R1' to the writ petition that the special remis-sion was granted by the Governor of Haryana to only thoseprisoners who were in confinement on 14th August, 1977 onthe occasion of the first visit of the Chief Minister ofHaryana to jail and who had been subsequently released onbail.It is pertinent to set out paragraph 2 of the saidorder:-""All those prisoners who have been convicted before the 14th August, 1977 but subsequently released on bail shall be enti- tled to the remission only if they surrender in the jail for undergoing the unexpired portion of their sentence.""The petitioners though convicted prior to 14th August,1977 that is the date of visit of the Hon'ble Minister tothe Jail were granted bail before the said date.Secondly, all thesepetitioners did not surrender in the jail for undergoing theunexpired portion of their sentences immediately after theirappeals were dismissed by the High Court.1979 in pursuance of the warrantissued by the court.1979 to serve outthe remaining part of their sentence.1977referred to hereinbefore.1985 to allSuperintendents of Jails including the Superintendent ofDistrict Jail, Bhiwani, drawing their attention to paragraph2 of the letter dated 11/14-1-1985 from the State Governmentto the Jail Department which is to the following effect:-""Attention of all Superintendents of Jails is drawn to para 4 of the Government letter under which Government have affirmed that convicts who are on bail and whose sentences have been suspended are excluded from the remissions systems in.This D.O. letter has been annexed as Annexure 'A' to the writ petition.The letter dated 11/14 January, 1985 issued by the Gover- nor of Haryana to the respondent No. 3 is an- nexed as Annexure 'R5' to the writ petition.The relevant excerpt of it is set out herein below:-It is clear and evident from this letter that convictswho were on parole from jail on the date and time of thevisit of the Chief Minister to the Jail will be grantedremissions on condition that they surrender at the jail onthe due date after expiry of parole period for undergoingthe unexpired period of their sentence.This means that aconvict in order to get the benefit of remission as directedby the said order issued under Article 16 1 of the Constitu-tion of India has to surrender voluntarily at the Jail afterexpiry of bail.In the instant case, petitioner No. 1 didnot surrender in jail or before the Magistrate after hisappeal was dismissed by the High Court and the petitionerNo. 1 had been 1115arrested under warrant of arrest as he did not surrender injail after his appeal was dismissed.Petitioners who were onbail also did not surrender immediately after dismissal oftheir appeal but they surrendered themselves after twomonths of dismissal of their appeal.The letter of the respondent No. 3 theInspector General of Prisons, Haryana, Chandigarh i.e.D.O.Letter No. 4665/1983-GI/G4/R10-84 dated 24.4.1985 is quitein accordance with the Government order made on 11/14 Janu-ary, 1985 and the respondent No. 3 in fact quoted paragraph2 of the said letter which contains the necessary requisitefor grant of remissions from sentence.The said D.O. letterof the respondent No. 3 cannot therefore be challenged as inviolation of paragraph 637 of the Punjab Jail Manual nor itis contrary to the directions contained in the aforesaidorder.In the premises aforesaid, this writ petition is dis-missed.There will be no order as to costs.",['Section 302 in The Indian Penal

(MD) No.40 of 2012, which, of course, he has denied.Therefore, the defence also wanted the order to be brought on record.∀ The children were enquired by this Court and at their request, were handed over to their paternal grandparents and not to their maternal grandfather, Perumal (P.W.1).2.13 Now, reverting to the narration of facts, the Investigating Officer (P.W.18) took custody of the appellant on 20.06.2012 for three days and interrogated him.He recorded his confession statement, based on which, he recovered a gold thali (M.O.1) and a pair of gold stud (M.O.2) belonging to Meenakshi (D1) from Muthoot Finance in Kerala, under the cover of mahazar (Ex.P.26).From the confession statement of the appellant, the Investigating Officer (P.W.18) came to know about one Ameen (P.W.9) and recorded his statement.2.14 The material objects, viz. screw driver (M.O.3) and iron tress untangler (M.O.4) were sent through the Court to the Tamil Nadu Forensic Science Laboratory for examination.The articles were examined and blood was detected in the screw driver (M.O.3) and tress untangler (M.O.4) vide Biology Report (Ex.P.29).However, the Serology Report (Ex.P.30) states that the blood found in the tress untangler (M.O.4) was human blood, but the result of grouping test was inconclusive.2.15 After examining the witnesses and obtaining various reports, the Investigating Officer (P.W.18) completed the investigation and filedhttp://www.judis.nic.in 11 final report in P.R.C.No.11 of 2012 before the Judicial Magistrate No.VI, Madurai, under Section 301 (2 counts) and 404 IPC against the appellant.2.16 On the appearance of the appellant, the provisions of Section 207 Cr.P.C. were complied with and the case was committed to the Court of Session in S.C.No.62 of 2014 and was tried by the Principal District and Sessions Judge, Madurai.The trial Court framed charges under Section 302 (2 counts) and 404 IPC against the appellant and when questioned, the appellant pleaded “not guilty”.2.17 To prove the case, the prosecution examined 18 witnesses and marked 31 exhibits and 6 material objects.2.18 When the appellant was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. about the incriminating circumstances appearing against him, he denied the same and gave a written explanation which will be discussed later.2.19 After hearing both sides and considering the evidence on record, the trial Court, by judgment dated 19.07.2017 in S.C.No.62 of 2014, convicted and sentenced the appellant as under:Section 302 (2 counts) Imprisonment for life and fine of Rs.2.20 The aforesaid sentences were ordered to run concurrently.Challenging the conviction and sentence, the accused has filed the present appeal.3 Heard Mr.They have also stated that on accounthttp://www.judis.nic.in 14 of torture given by the appellant, Meenakshi (D1) went to her natal home in Ramanathapuram District and a police complaint was also lodged in A.W.P.S., Madurai Town and the police advised the couple to live away from each other for six months.7 To corroborate this, the prosecution examined Kameswari (P.W.17), the then Sub Inspector of Police, A.W.P.S., Madurai, who has stated that on 06.10.2007, Meenakshi, W/o.She has further stated that she (P.W.17) called Meenakshi (D1) and her husband for enquiry and in the enquiry, Meenakshi (D1) agreed to re-join her husband in the interests of her children.In the cross-examination, it was suggested to her that the A.W.P.S., Madurai, does not have jurisdiction to deal with the complaint from a person who lives in Anupanadi West area and only the A.W.P.S., Thirupparankundram will have jurisdiction, for which, she stated that, for conducting a petition enquiry on the complaint given by a woman, territorial jurisdiction is not relevant and only if a regular FIR is registered, the aspect of territorial jurisdiction will be examined by the police.It was further suggested to her that the petition No.254 of 2011 relates to some other person and not to the complaint of Meenakshi (D1), which, she denied.http://www.judis.nic.in 15 8 Thus, on an overall reading of the evidence of Perumal (P.W.1), Kamakshi (P.W.2), Karpagavalli (P.W.3) and Kameswari (P.W.17), we find that the prosecution has proved the alleged motive satisfactorily.The most powerful circumstance against the appellant is that, after the incident, he had absconded with his two daughters viz. Divya (P.W.6) and Karthika (P.W.7) and did not even attend the funeral of his wife (Meenakshi-D1) and son (Dinesh-D2).9 Mr.ARL.Sundaresan, learned Senior Counsel, took this Court through the written explanation given by the appellant under Section 313 Cr.P.C., wherein, he has stated that he had a very cordial relationship with his wife; there was no dispute between them; they had purchased a house in Door No.2352, Housing Board Colony, Anupanadi West in their joint names in the year 2008 and were living happily; his job is to make steel almirah, for which, he would go frequently to various places and remain there for two to three months continuously; he informed his wife and children and went to Ganga Bureau Company in Tuticorin, where, he was employed, during which time, the unfortunate incident had taken place; his parents-in-law had taken a loan of Rs. 2,00,000/- from him; when he asked them to return the amount, they developed ill feeling towards him and that is why, they have falsely implicated him in this case; he came to know that the police were on thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 16 hunt for him and fearing that, he will be tortured, he remained in Tuticorin itself; he did not take with him Divya (P.W.6) and Karthika (P.W.7); he did not go to Kerala; since his parents-in-law wanted to usurp the property, this case has been foisted on him.10 Relying upon the above statement of the appellant, Mr.In this case, the deceased were none other than the appellant’s wife and son.The appellant may have many a grievance against his wife and therefore, he would have decided to remain away from her funeral.But, there is no plausible explanation, as to why, he did not even come to see the dead body of his son Dinesh (D2).Yet another powerful circumstance against the appellant is that, 1 (2011) 11 SCC 754http://www.judis.nic.in 17 after the incident, his two daughters Divya (P.W.6) and Karthika (P.W.7), who were school-going children had also gone missing.No doubt, Divya (P.W.6) and Karthika (P.W.7) turned hostile.Karthika (P.W.7), who was 14 years old, when she was examined on 02.06.2014, has stated that on the night when her mother and brother died, she and her elder sister were sleeping in the house of her paternal grandfather, which is three houses away.In the charge that was framed against the appellant, it is clearly stated that on 21.10.2011, while the appellant and his two daughters were sleeping in the house of the appellant’s father, around 12.30 midnight, he saw light burning in the house, where his wife Meenakshi (D1) was staying and suspecting her, he went there and held her by her tresses and assaulted her; at that time, when Dinesh (D2) intervened, he (appellant) pushed Dinesh (D2) with such force that hehttp://www.judis.nic.in 18 dashed against the wall and fell dead; thereafter, the appellant took the iron tress untangler (M.O.4) and stabbed Meenakshi (D2) around her chest, resulting in her death.13 According to Karthika (P.W.7), her father was not there with them on that night and that, he did not take them with him.14 Divya (P.W.6) and Karthika (P.W.7) have stated in their evidence that there was no misunderstanding between their parents.Even in the Section 313 Cr.P.C. statement of the appellant, he had stated so.Had that been true, he would not have stayed away from the funeralhttp://www.judis.nic.in 19 of his wife and son.His explanation that he had given Rs.2,00,000/- to his parents-in-law and when he asked them to return the amount, they developed animosity towards him and therefore, they had foisted this case against him appears incredible, because, in the cross-examination of Perumal (P.W.1), no such suggestion has been put.The story of the appellant extending loan of Rs.2,00,000/- to his parents-in-law surfaced for the first time only in the Section 313 Cr.P.C. statement.The appellant has not denied the fact that he voluntarily surrendered before the Judicial Magistrate, Aruppukkottai on 14.06.2012, which is not the jurisdictional Court and the children were produced by the police before this Court on 15.06.2012, one day after his surrender.Hence, we are in complete agreement with the following finding of the trial Court returned in paragraph 57:“The reason for P.W.6 and P.W.7 for not attending the funeral of their brother and mother though they were in Madurai is also doubtful.If they have attended the funeral, there might not be any necessity for P.W.1 to file the Habeas Corpus Petition before the High Court.From the evidence of P.W.9, P.W.10, P.W.18, it is clear that the accused has left the place of occurrence immediately 2 (2002) 7 SCC 157http://www.judis.nic.in 20 after the occurrence.” 15 As regards the recovery of gold jewels from Muthoot Finance, Mr.AR.L.Sundaresan, learned Senior Counsel contended that Ganesh (P.W.10), Manager of Muthoot Finance, has not stated that it was the appellant who had pledged the jewels (M.Os.1 and 2), but, has stated that it was one Ameen (P.W.9).Ameen (P.W.9) has stated that he is a native of Shencottah and works for a steel almirah company in Kollam, Kerala; he knows the appellant, who is also an almirah craftsman; the appellant approached him for a job and he got him a job in his company;the appellant approached him with his two daughters and asked to arrange an accommodation for him and that, he got him a place to stay in Kollam; the appellant gave him a pair of ear rings (M.O.2) and a gold thali (M.O.1) and wanted a loan; he pledged those items with Muthoot Finance and obtained loan and gave him.16 Assuming for a moment that the prosecution was not able to satisfactorily prove the fact of the appellant giving two jewels to Ameen (P.W.9) for pledging them with Muthoot Finance, yet, the evidence of Ameen (P.W.9) that he is an almirah craftsman and that, he knows the appellant who is also an almirah craftsman and that, the appellant came with his two daughters in search of a job to Kollam in Kerala, where, hehttp://www.judis.nic.in 21 got him a job and also accommodation, cannot be disbelieved.17 As regards the conviction of the appellant under Section 404 IPC, except the police confession of the appellant, there is no other material to establish the charge.Under such circumstances, the conviction and sentence slapped on the appellant for the charge under Section 404 IPC cannot be sustained and accordingly, he is acquitted of the said charge.In support of this contention, the learned Senior Counsel drew the attention of this Court to the police confession of the appellant.In our opinion, the police confession whichhttp://www.judis.nic.in 22 came into being after registration of the FIR and during investigation cannot be looked into, even in favour of the accused, save as provided under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act, in the light of the judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in Sudalaimani vs. State, represented by the Inspector of Police, Chromepet Police Station, Chennai3, wherein, one of us (PNPJ) was a member.That apart, there are six stab injuries around the chest portion of Meenakshi (D1), which shows the intensity with which the offence was committed.The act of the appellant qua Dinesh (D2) would fall within the third limb of Section 299 IPC and would not graduate to Section 300 IPC.However, the same cannot be said qua the death of Meenakshi (D1), which will clearly fall within Section 300 Thirdly or Fourthly and there being no way to invoke any of the five exceptions, the appellant's conviction under Section 302 IPC for the death of Meenakshi (D1) cannot be unsettled.19 In the result, this appeal is partly allowed.The conviction and sentence slapped on the appellant under Section 404 IPC are set 3 2014 (4) CTC 593http://www.judis.nic.in 23 aside.Further, the conviction and sentence of the appellant under Section 302 IPC for causing the death of Dinesh (D2) are also set aside and in lieu of that, the appellant is convicted under Section 304(II) IPC and sentenced to undergo seven years rigorous imprisonment and pay a fine of Rs.1,000/-.The conviction and sentence imposed on the appellant under Section 302 IPC for the murder of Meenakshi (D1) stand affirmed.The sentences shall run concurrently.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 363 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 299 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 6 of 42(a) The property has been purchased by the petitioner without due diligence and no bona fide purchaser would buy a property without originals of the previous chain, whereas stipulations 5 and 6 of the Sale Deed dated 15.12.2009, make it clear that original chain of the title documents was not furnished by the Vendor, which makes the Sale a sham transaction.(b) The property has been sold at a much cheaper price than its actual market price.To arrive at this conclusion, investigating agency is making reference of valuation of the said property at the time of seeking loan, when it was assessed as approximately Rs.7.57 Crore (Rupees Seven crore and fifty seven lakhs) in the year 2007 whereas, petitioner purchased the same in the year 2009 at a much less value of Rs.2.25 Crore (Rupees Two crore twenty five lakhs) only.(c) The payments which have been made to the Vendor by the Vendee have been reflected and corresponding debit / credit entries have been checked.After examination, Chartered Accountant (CA) stated that these transactions are sham transactions.(d) Statement of co-accused Ms. Madhu Singh, who subsequently claimed that the property in question was sold by her to the petitioner.The investigating agency is Crl.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 7 of 42 of the opinion that the property in question has been transferred with the apprehension that the said property could be attached by the investigating agency in order to recover the cheated funds collected from the investors.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 7 of 42Further Investigating agency imputed the petitioner for witnessing the Agreement dated 05.02.2011, executed between M/s. Best Realtech (India) Pvt. Ltd. and accused company, in respect of development of the project of accused company at Gurgaon, Haryana, which as per the investigating agency was detrimental to the interest of the investors.In order to sustain its claim that the petitioner was incharge for day to day functioning of the accused company, investigating agency has relied upon statement of one Mr. Harjit Singh, Director of M/s. Best Realtech (India) Pvt. Ltd. in addition to the statements of witnesses recorded under section 161 of Cr.P.C.During the course of proceedings before this Court, the complainants Mr. Keshav Sethi (in Crl.M.C.2977/2014), Ms. Kusum Jain (in Crl. M.C.2995/2014), Mr. Dev Raj (in Crl.M.C.3037/2014) and Mr. Vipul Kochar (in Crl.M.C.3023/2014) were impleaded as respondent No.2 on their respective applications.On 17.09.2014 learned counsel for the complainants Mr. Mohit Mathur, on instructions from Mr. Akhil Mittal, Advocate submitted before this Crl.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 8 of 42 Court that he will move an appropriate application on behalf of the complainants for impleadement in all the respective petitions.However, on 23.09.2014 Mr. Akhil Mittal, Advocate submitted that all the remaining complainants were not interested in moving impleadement applications.Thereafter, respondent No.2/ complainant filed reply.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 8 of 42While impugning the conclusion of the investigating agency regarding culpability of the petitioner, Mr. Kohli, learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that under the influence of Ms. Madhu Singh and a few well connected investors, the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case by the investigating agency.It was argued by the counsel for the petitioner that in order to sustain conjectural hypothesis about culpability of the petitioner, investigating officer has deliberately concealed vital facts and infact, has arbitrarily given deaf ears to the representations/ complaints of the petitioner, wherein the petitioner has unfolded various illegal acts of Ms. Madhu Singh, Mr. Tejwant Singh, Mr. Harjit Singh, etc. and his victimization by accused Ms. Madhu Singh and others.It was argued that induced with the various projections of the accused company and its functionaries, petitioner and his family members also invested in Gurgaon Project of the accused company during the period 2007 to 2009, but despite specific complaints by the petitioner, none of his complaints have been considered by the investigating agency, whereas similarly circumstanced other investors have been arrayed as complainants / witnesses in the cases registered against the accused company.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 9 of 42It is case of the petitioner that like other investors, petitioner had visited the corporate office of the accused company for refund of his and his family members investments in the beginning of the year 2009, where he was trapped by accused Ms. Madhu Singh, Tejwant Singh and others to purchase property bearing no. 8, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Marg, New Delhi, under the pretext that the accused company had invested its substantial liquidity towards purchase of major landholdings and thus is finding shortage of liquidity and the rumours about the bankruptcy of the accused company has caused damage to the extent that despite sound position, owing to the slump in realty sector, the Company was unable to fetch finances to meet out unprecedented demand of refund by investors.Per contra to the finding of the investigating agency that the petitioner did not conduct any due diligence before purchase of the property, it was contended by the counsel for the petitioner that before execution of the Sale Deed, petitioner had duly conducted due diligence of the property (both physical and title search) and had also obtained duly certified copies of the complete chain of title documents of the property which clearly reflected a clean title in favour of the accused company and since there was no encumbrance on the property, petitioner purchased the said property.To fortify his contentions, Mr. Daman Kohli has shown certified copies of the previous chain of title documents, copies of which have already placed on record.It was further contended on behalf of the petitioner that in terms of the Sale Deed, petitioner took possession of the First Floor of the property whereas built up structure on the 2nd floor of the property was retained by the sister concern of the Crl.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 10 of 42 accused company, from where even the accused company started operation of its business activities.It was also submitted that the delay in furnishing original title documents by the seller is clearly stipulated in the Sale Deed and it is with full caution that the petitioner got the complete chain of previous title documents duly stamped and signed by the seller on each and every page.Mr. Kohli also submitted that the nephew of Ms. Madhu Singh who is also a shareholder of the seller/ accused company is also a witness to the duly registered sale deed.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 10 of 42It was also submitted by Mr. Kohli that victimization of petitioner subsisted when petitioner was further lured to part with substantial sum of Rs.4,35,35,200/- (Rupees Four crore thirty five lakhs thirty five thousand and two hundred), towards 50% equity of the accused company in favour of the petitioner and his company M/s. Habitat Buildtech Pvt. Ltd.It was further submitted that on 05.02.2011, being the 50% equity holder of the accused company, petitioner also became witness to the execution of the Agreement executed inter se accused company and M/s. Best Realtech (India) Pvt. Ltd.. Mr. Kohli has drawn my attention towards relevant clauses of the said Agreement, whereby M/s. Best Realtech (India) Pvt. Ltd. undertook to bear all costs and expenses for developing Housing Project of the accused company in Gurgaon, on the same terms on which the accused company has invited investments from different investors, besides undertaking to refund, if any of the investor in the said project of the accused company so desired.However, when the perpetuating dishonest and fraudulent intent of accused Ms. Madhu Singh and her associates became apparent to the petitioner, he made various representations disclosing their illegal acts and also his victimization.Attention has been drawn to various complaints/representations, addressed at all levels ranging from S.H.O. Mandir Marg, New Delhi to Commissioner of Delhi Police, but despite complaints/ representations disclosing commission of cognizable offence, no action has been taken by the investigating agency.M.C. No.2877/2014 & Connected Matters Page 11 of 42It was further submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that endeavour of the investigating agency to array the petitioner as a conspirator with accused Ms. Madhu Singh, against whom the petitioner is fighting in different courts and forums, is liable to be deprecated.On mention by the counsel for the petitioner this fact is also not disputed that there are multiple complaints filed by the petitioner Crl.M.C.

5BRIJESH SETHI, J (ORAL)Vide this order, I shall dispose of a bail application filed under section 439 Cr.P.C on behalf of the petitioner Gulshan in FIR No. 141/2019 u/s. 376/506 IPC & 4 POCSO Act, PS Sarai Rohilla.Counsel for the petitioner has prayed for bail on the ground that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated.It is submitted that investigation has already been completed and charge-sheet has also been filed and petitioner is not required for any investigation.It is submitted that one Monu had good friendly relations with Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 1 of 5 family of prosecutrix 'K' and her mother.Resultant thereof, the prosecutrix and her mother have developed the malice, ill will, personal vendetta and grudge against the petitioner and due to which a false case was lodged against the petitioner by misusing and abusing the statutory provisions of Section 376/506 IPC and Section 4 of POSCO Act to create a pressure, force and coercion upon the petitioner so that real sister of the petitioner may not pursue her criminal case against said Monu.Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 1 of 5It is submitted that the entire case of the prosecution is based upon the statement of the complainant i.e. mother of victim and victim herself and there is no chance of tampering with the prosecution evidence in any manner whatsoever.It is, therefore, prayed that petitioner be released on bail.APP for the State has opposed the bail application on the Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 2 of 5 ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature.Petitioner has made sexual intercourse with the victim who was minor ie.about 14 years old at the time of commission of offence without her consent.He has, therefore, prayed for dismissal of bail application.Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 2 of 5I have considered the rival submissions.The present case was registered on the complaint of complainant 'S', who is the mother of the prosecutrix 'K' wherein she alleged that her neighbour Gulshan i.e. the petitioner took her daughter to the room of his friend co- accused Firoz in July 2018 where he forcefully made physical relations with her daughter and threatened to kill her brother, if she tells anyone about the incident.When she came to know about the incident that has happened with her daughter, she filed the complaint.Statement of the complainant i.e. mother of the victim u/s 164 Cr.PC was recorded wherein she corroborated the FIR and also stated that the mother and sister of the petitioner were well conversant of what the petitioner had done to the victim.In her statement recorded u/s. 164 CrPC, the victim has categorically stated that petitioner had taken her to his friend's Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 3 of 5 house (Firoz) at Daya Basti.The petitioner had taken the keys from Firoz who had thereafter left the house.Thereafter, the petitioner had removed her Salwar and committed sexual intercourse with her.Thereafter petitioner threatened the victim that if she discloses anything to anyone, her brother would be killed and she would be defamed.The victim had stopped going to the school and revealed everything to her mother.The victim has submitted that petitioner is still threatening her on phone and also compelling her for marriage.The authenticity of the conversation recorded in CD can only be judged at the appropriate stage i.e. during the course of trial.However, there is another CD on record regarding conversation dated 26.04.2019 between petitioner and prosecutrix.Transcription of the Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 4 of 5 same reveals that on second page of the second recording it is stated by the petitioner that he has done everything.Of course, the authenticity of this conversation will also be judged during the course of trial.Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 4 of 5Keeping in view the above facts and the allegations leveled against the petitioner which are very grave in nature and further keeping in mind the age of the victim/ prosecutrix and further in view of the fact that even threat was extended to the victim, no grounds for bail are made out at this stage.The bail application is, therefore, dismissed and stands disposed of accordingly.BRIJESH SETHI, J MARCH 4, 2020 Amit Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 5 of 5Bail appl no. 303/2020 Page 5 of 5","['Section 376 in The

+"The appellant was the complainant before the trial Court namely, theCourt of Judicial Magistrate No.II, Madurai and Calender Case No.1123 of 1997came to be instituted on a complaint preferred by the appellant/complainantherein alleging that the respondents herein committed an offence punishableunder Section 494 of the Indian Penal Code.The trial ended in conviction ofboth the respondents herein who figured as accused Nos.1 and 2 for theoffence of bigamy punishable under Section 494 IPC and both of them weresentenced to undergo three years rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine ofRs.100/- with a direction to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one week incase of default in payment of fine.On an appeal preferred before theSessions Court in C.A.No.48 of 2002, the learned Appellate Judge (IIIAdditional District and Sessions Judge) Madurai set aside the conviction andacquitted the respondents herein holding that the appellant herein had notproved that the respondents had committed the offence punishable underSection 494 IPC.2.As against the judgment of the lower appellate Court reversingjudgment of conviction passed by the trial Court and acquitting therespondents herein, the appellant herein (complainant) has preferred thepresent Criminal Appeal under Section 378 (4) of the Code of CriminalProcedure, 1973 along with a petition under Section 378(5) of Cr.P.C seekingspecial leave to prefer such an appeal.The said petition filed under Section378 (5) Cr.P.C, which was numbered as Crl.O.P.(MD)No.205 of 2004, standsallowed and the numbering of the appeal even before the grant of specialleave stands ratified by the order granting special leave under Section378(5) of the Criminal Procedure Code.3.The case of the appellant/complainant is that she is the legallywedded wife of the first respondent-Thirupathi (A-1) and that the firstrespondent, during the subsistence of his marriage with theappellant/complainant, married the second respondent-Dhanalakhsmi on18.06.1997 and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 494 IPC.The further case of the appellant/complainant is that the second respondent-Dhanalakshmi (A2) did marry the first respondent knowing fully well that thefirst respondent was already married and the appellant herein/complainant washis legally wedded wife and that the marriage between theappellant/complainant and the first respondent was subsisting at the time ofher marriage with the first respondent and that thereby she also hadcommitted the offence punishable under Section 494 IPC.The respondents, who appeared on summons before the trial Court,denied having committed any offence, pursuant to which a charge was framedagainst the respondents 1 and 2 herein for an offence punishable underSection 494 IPC.After having a charge read over and explained, they deniedhaving committed the offence and they wanted the case to be tried.Accordingly, a trial was conducted in which including the appellantherein/complainant three witnesses were examined as P.Ws.1 to 3 and onedocument was marked as Ex.P.1 in order to prove the charge framed against therespondents herein.On the side of the respondents herein, who faced thetrial as accused persons, no witness was examined and no document was marked.After affording them an opportunity under Section 313(1)(b) of theCode of Criminal Procedure, to explain the incriminating materials found inthe evidence adduced on the side of the appellant herein/complainant,arguments were heard by the trial Court.Keeping in mind the points canvassedin the arguments advanced on both sides, the learned trial Judge consideredthe evidence and after such consideration, pronounced a judgment, holding therespondents herein accused Nos. 1 and 2 guilty of the offence punishableunder Section 494 IPC with which they stood charged and convicted them forthe said offences.After giving an opportunity under Section 248(2) Cr.P.C tomake their representation regarding the punishment to be imposed, the learnedtrial Judge imposed a punishment on each one of the respondents herein toundergo rigorous imprisonment for three years and to pay a fine of Rs.100/-with a further direction that in default of payment of fine, he/she shouldundergo rigorous imprisonment for one week as a default sentence.The findingof the trial Court is based on the oral testimonies of P.Ws.1 to 3 and thedocumentary evidence, namely Ex.The finding of the trial Court holding the respondentsherein/accused 1 and 2 guilty of the offence punishable under Section 494 IPCwas found fault with by the lower appellate Judge, on the sole ground thatthere was no direct evidence as to the marriage between the first respondentand the second respondent, which is said to be bigamous.The learned lowerappellate Judge also disbelieved the oral testimony of P.W.2, who wasexamined as the sole eye witness to have seen the marriage performed at theentrance of Samayapuram Mariyamman Temple.The judgments ofthe Courts below and the materials available on record summoned from theCourts below for reference in this appeal are also perused and taken intoconsideration.10.The respondents 1 and 2 herein were prosecuted for having committedan alleged offence punishable under Section 494 IPC in the Court of JudicialMagistrate No.II, Madurai in Calender Case No.1123 of 1997, a case wasinstituted on complaint.14.Here is a case in which the order of acquittal impugned in thisappeal was passed by the learned Sessions Judge in an appeal.Hence, it is anappellate order of acquittal which is made appealable to the High Court underSection 378 of Cr.P.C. The case having been instituted on complaint,attracts sub-section (4) and the only condition for entertaining the appealis that a special leave should be granted on an application filed within thetime stipulated in sub-section (5).It is not in dispute that such anapplication was filed within the time stipulated in sub-section (5) and theappeal has also been preferred within such time, even though the appeal couldhave been preferred within 30 days from the date of grant of special leave toappeal.15.It is an admitted fact that and it has also been proved beyondreasonable doubt that the first respondent is the husband of theappellant/complaint and their marriage took place on 18.06.1972 in accordancewith the provisions of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 as applicable to TamilNadu.P.W.1 has given a categorical statement in her chief examination thather marriage with the first respondent was solemnised at RamalingaSowdambigai Sannathi within Panjavarnaswamy Temple, Uraiyoor, Trichy andthat due to the cohabitation they were gifted with three daughters by names,Akilandeeswari, Priya and Prema and a son by name, Shanmugam.These factsspoken to by P.W.1 in her evidence was not challenged by therespondents/accused in their cross examination.It has also been stated inclear terms by P.W.1 that the marriage was not dissolved as on the date ofalleged occurrence and also as on the date of her examination before thetrial Court.16.When the incriminating parts of the evidence adduced on the side ofthe complainant were culled out and formulated as a questionnaire underSection 313(1)(b) of Cr.P.C, the respondents did not deny the same and on theother hand they simply stated that they were not guilty of the offence.Therefore, the factthat the marriage between the appellant herein/complainant and the firstrespondent/first accused was subsisting as on the date of the allegedoccurrence, namely on 18.06.1997, stands proved beyond reasonable doubt.17.Then the next question that arises for consideration is whether themarriage alleged to have been performed on 18.06.1997 stands proved by theappellant/complainant.In this regard, though P.W.1's evidence is not adirect evidence regarding the factum of marriage, she has given a clear andcogent evidence to the effect that she was informed of the marriage of herhusband namely, the first respondent with the second respondent and that thesaid marriage came to be registered on the very same day in the Office of theRegistrar situated near the Court in Trichy.The same has beenmarked as Ex.The said copy is a certified xerox copy of the document andhence, it contains the signatures of the first respondent as well as thesecond respondent.It is pertinent to note that the same is not a marriagecertificate evidencing the registration of marriage under any of the lawsrelating to the registration of the marriage.It was titled and styledas an agreement of a domestic relationship to live together (thH;f;ifcld;gof;if gj;jpuk;).The execution of the said document and registration ofthe said document have not been denied or disputed, on the other hand standadmitted by the respondents/accused persons.It contains a recital that theygot married to each other on the date of the document itself in SamayapuramMariyamman Temple.18.Apart from the production and proof of the above said document as anevidence to prove the case of the appellant/complainant herein regarding theperformance of the alleged marriage between the respondents herein on18.06.1997 at Samayapuram Mariyamman Temple, one Sivaji was examined as awitness to the said marriage.According to his version,on 18.06.1997, he along with one Ravikumar, had gone to Samayapuram MariammanTemple near Trichy to offer worship to the deity therein and at that point oftime, at about 7.00 to 7.30 a.m, he saw the respondents with garlands at theentrance of the temple.He has further stated that he also saw the firstrespondent tying a Thali to the second respondent and the respondentsexchanging garlands.It is his furtherevidence that when the appellant/complainant approached the police, theyasked her to approach the Court.19.P.W.2, during cross examination, has asserted that he was an eyewitness to the marriage of the first respondent with the second respondentand he actually saw the first respondent tying a Thali around the neck of thesecond respondent at the entrance of the above said temple.It is also hisevidence during the cross examination that there were about 15 to 20 persons,who attended the marriage, but he did not inform those persons that the firstrespondent was already married and that however, he asked the firstrespondent as to how he could venture to marry the second respondent when hisfirst wife Saraswathi was alive, for which the first respondent replied thathis second marriage with the second respondent was performed with the consentof his first wife.The section also provides for validation of marriages performedprior to the introduction of Section 7-A of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 andseveral such marriages were saved from being held void for non observance ofany of the customary rituals provided the conditions found in Section 7-Awere present.After the amendment in Tamil Nadu, for convicting a personprofessing Hindu religion for bigamy, it shall be enough to show that heunderwent a form of marriage which complies with the above condition namely,acknowledgment by words or symbolic representation of acknowledgement byexchanging garlands or exchanging of rings or tying of thali provided themarriage is with a woman professing Hindu religion.P1 isstyled as an agreement for having a domestic relationship.But the same hasbeen used for proving an admission made therein that the respondentsunderwent a form of marriage in the morning on the date on which the saidagreement came to be executed and registered.Here is a case in which the marriage has taken place andhence, if the second respondent is proved to have got the knowledge of thefirst marriage of the first respondent with the appellant/complainant, thenshe shall be liable to be punished with the punishment prescribed underSection 494 IPC.However, when a person is to be punished for abetment of anoffence, separate charge stating that she is prosecuted for abetting such anoffence and that the act abetted has been committed should have been framed.The charge against the second respondent ought to have been framed as one foran offence punishable under Section 494 IPC read with Section 109 IPC.27.P.W.1, in her evidence in chief examination, has not asserted thatthe second respondent did have the knowledge of the subsistence of themarriage between the appellant/complainant and the first respondent.On theother hand, she has simply stated that one Banumathi, younger sister of thefirst respondent and one Subbu @ Subbulakshmi, the elder sister of the secondrespondent had attested Ex.P.1 document and that both of them knew thesubsistence of marriage between the appellant/complainant and the firstrespondent.However, learned counsel for the appellant drew the attention ofthe Court to the other part of her evidence wherein she has stated that thesecond respondent resided in the street next to the street in which P.W.1 wasliving in Trichy and that hence, she knew the marriage of the firstrespondent with the appellant/complainant.A person living in the next streetin a town cannot be said to have direct knowledge regarding the maritalstatus of a person living in the other street.Regarding the sentence, the submissions made on both sides are alsotaken into consideration.The maximum punishment prescribed under the saidpenal provision, namely 494 IPC is imprisonment of either description for 7years and also fine.The trial Judge seems to have imposed a sentence ofrigorous imprisonment for three years and a fine of Rs.100/- with a defaultsentence of rigorous imprisonment for one week.So far as the fine amount isconcerned, the trial Court seems to have shown leniency.Theexcess fine amount shall be collected from the first respondent and the firstrespondent shall surrender before the trial Court within two weeks, whereuponhe shall be committed to jail for undergoing the unexpired portion of thesentence.The trial Magistrate shall issue necessary warrant.Theimprisonment, if any, already undergone shall be set off under Section 248Cr.1.The III Additional District and Sessions Court, Madurai.2.The Judicial Magistrate No.2 Madurai","['Section 494

+"This family is the solitary Brahmin family living in that little village and against them the entire wrath of the Kisans and their fellow travellers, the Communists, seems to have broken because they were the landlords and secondly they belonged to a community which is the special target of attack in these parts.The evidence is clear that they were subjected to systematic intimidation of murder, looting and arson.In this task of attacking this family the Kisans and their fellow traveller Communist opponents were encouraged by the fact that some other leading Mirasdars were on inimical terms with this family apparently trying to curry favour with these violent people by posing as their sympathisers and friends.The net result of this was that this family of Jagannathachariar concerned like rats, was systematically bombarding the authorities, Police and the Magistracy, to take action against these trouble-makers.The evidence of D.W. 1 is :""At that time meetings under Section 144 Cr. P. C. were banned, under an order in K. C. No. 5 of 1950 by Sub-divisional Magistrate, Pattukottai.The order was promulgated.Ail the Sub Inspectors in the jurisdiction of the Sub-divisional Magistrate including myself received copies of that prohibitory order & copies were said to have been sent to ail V.Ms.I sent constables to publish the order, and caused publication by heat of tom-tom in all the villages within my station limits.I sent the order to the village of Alagiyanayagipuram.I remember to have received the acknowledgment from the Nadar V. M. There is also an Ayyar V. M. At about 3 P.M. I went in a friend's car to Alagiyanayagipuram.When 1 reached there I saw about 100 or 150 persons crowded in a public street in front of the house of one Vaithilingam in that village.They were about to create disturbance shouting slogans.At the sight of the Police, many of them dispersed.The plaintiff and Vaithilingam and Peristhambi continued to stand there.In order to prevent further trouble and disturbance, I had to arrest them and take them to the Police station under Section 157, Cr.Ex. B-3 is my report.At the time of the arrests, Communist Kisan trouble was going on, on a large scale in Pattukottai, Mannargudi and Tirutturaipundi.The eldest of them the 1st defendant was bombarding the authorities Police Magistracy, State Government etc. to book these patent and potential mischief mongers.These agitators were known to intend to put on a special display to mar the Republic Day Celebrations.JUDGMENT Ramaswami, J.In 1950 the District of Tanjore and especially the area of the Sub-Divisional Magistracy of Pattukottai was the seat of continuous trouble between the landlords and the Kisans.This Kisan movement was being fully exploited by the Communists and their fellow travellers on the foot that every trouble was welcome for fomenting agitations against the Government and for promoting forces of disorder and violence.The net result was that the Government took stringent measures to restrain the activities of these Communists.Special Police officers were posted and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Pattukottai, directed all the Taluk Magistrates of Pattukottai and Arantangi to promulgate prohibitory orders under Section 144, Cr. P.O. in all the villages under their jurisdiction and especially as the Communists were for instance trying to mar the celebrations of the Republic Day and threatening to commit acts of violence and disturb peace and tranquillity.It is evident from a perusal of the order that it was passed on the reports of the Police Officers P.Ws. 1 Sri V. S. Subramaniam and D.W. 1 Sri M. K. Panikkar.Sri V. S. Subramaniam was then acting as the Circle Inspector of Police, Thiruthuraipoondi and Sri M. K. Panikkar w,is then the Sub-Inspector of Police, Adirampatnam.It is established in the evidence that the Sub Divisional Magistrate's direction to all Taluk Magistrate to publish this order in all their villages in their taluks by heat of tom-tom was carried out.The respondent in this second appeal Sri Jagannathachariar is a Mirasdar of Pattukottai Taluk, owing lands in the village of Alagiyanayakipuram.The other members of his family are his brothers impleaded as defendants 2 and 3 in the suit.P. C. I took them at about 8 P.M. or 9 P.M. It was too late that night at Pattukottai.So they were remanded the next day.Ex. 15-11 is one of the reports in connection with that incident which I sent.The endorsement on my report is made by the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Pattukottai Sri C. S. Subbiah Pillai, forwarding that report to the District Superintendent of Police.Ex. B-12 contains the endorsements of the Deputy Superintendent of Police and District Superintendent of Police with regard to their arrests.I submitted a first information report and the case-diary of the case to the Deputy Superintendent of Police through the Inspector of Police ...... The Sub-divisional Magistrate returned the first information report.So I submitted a second report on the order of the Deputy Superintendent of Police ..... under Section 188 I.P.C. The Sub-divisional Magistrate, verified my report and sent the file to the Sub-magistrate, Pattukottai, to take cognizance.The Deputy Superintendent of Police wanted to know the result of action taken.There was one Kisan Deputy Superintendent of Police at Tanjore, one Inspector at Pattukottai, three Sub-Inspectors at Tanjore, Pattukottai aria Tiruturaipundi and several C.I.D. personnel were posted for the Kisan trouble.Mirasdars were put to great difficulty.The action I took against plaintiff, I did only on order of my officer.Ex. B-8 is my report in reply to the Deputy Superintendent of Police's queries, Ex. B-7.""The learned ' Stationary Sub Magistrate, Pattukottai, before whom the plaintiff Chinnamuthu Ambalam and two others Vaithilinga Tevar and Periathambi Ambalam were charged for an offence under Section 188 I. P. G. were acquitted after twelve witnesses were examined on behalf of the prosecution of whom only three witnesses spoke in support of the complainant On the ground that ""on the whole, the case seems to have been magnified out of small incidents on account of ill-feelings as already indicated.Unfortunately the Sub Inspector has too willingly lent a helping hand and over enthusiastically booked a case.The prosecution witnesses have not come out with a correct version....... The only other evidence is that of the Sub Inspector; it has been made clear how exaggerated his evidence is in regard to the occurrence.""Thereupon in 1953 tbe plaintitf, one of the acquitted accused, filed the suit out of which this second appeal arises, for recovery of Rs. 100/- as damages for malicious prosecution.The defendants to the suit were Jagannatha-chariar and his two brothers.The learned District Munsif came to the conclusion that the plaintiff had made out his case and decreed the suit against the first defendant and dismissed defendants 2 and 3 out of the suit on the ground that there was no proof that defendants 2 and 3 beyond merely giving evidence in C. C. No. 450 of 1950 had done anything further and cannot be considered as prosecutors of the plaintiff.There was an appeal therefrom and the learned Subordinate Judge came to the conclusion that the first defendant was the real prosecutor but that he (first defendant) did not act maliciously and without reasonable and probable cause and that the plaintiff is not entitled to damages.On a careful analysis of the evidence and after giving due weight to the fact the trial court had the advantage of hearing the witnesses, and seeing them in the box he came to the conclusion : ""I accept the evidence of D.W. 1 that there was a meeting of the Communists on 11-2-50 and that plaintiff took part in such a meeting and that he was arrested by D.W. 1 at such a meeting"" (page 24).Again ""I hold D. 1 acted with malice but did rot act without reasonable and probable cause"". ""(Para 26)"".He allowed the appeal and dismissed the suit.Hence this Second Appeal by the defeated plaintiff.",['Section 188 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Raj Singh in the Court of Shri D.C. Aggarwal, Special Judge, on 18th November, 1977 the petitioner was examined as a prosecution witness being the investigating Officer.During the course of his cross-examination.he, inter alia, deposed that : ""TWOcases for damages against me, Union of India S. D. M. were filed by Shri H.K. S. Malik through his brother and mother sinise I had not obliged him in forcibly occupying plot No. C-5, Rana Pratap Bagh.There is a complaint case against me pending regarding the same plot since I did noi oblige Sh.H. K. S. Malik for convening a civil case into a criminal case regarding the same plot.postmortem examination had to be carried out.Consequently, an inquiry under the Punjab Police, Rules was instituted and the respondent was examined as a witness in that inquiry on 14th June, 1976, by the S.

No. 1009 was registered against the petitioner on 9th September, 1977 and the respondent was mentioned therein as the prime mover.The respondent further alleged that the petitioner had been trying to prevent him from appearing as a witness against him in the said case since July 1976 and he had conveyed even.threats.Further, the petitioner met the respondent personally three or four times with a request not to depose as a witness against him but the respondent was not disuaded from doing his dirty.So, the petitioner considers the respondent as his enemy.On 31st October, 1977, the respondent learnt of a plan to murder him at night and he took immediate precautions.However, one SatpalSharma,who was an eye witness in the aforesaid murder case, was brutally stabbed on that night.Thus, the contention of the respondent in the complaint was that the petitioner harboured a grudge against him and, therefore, he made the aforesaid statement in the Court of the Special Judge with a view to harm the reputation of the respondent.He asserted that the aforesaid statement carried, inter alia, an imputation that the respondent was a person of depraved moral character as to commit acts' which constituted offences punishable under the Indian Penal Code.While denying each and every imputation made against him by the petitioner, he asserted that the same had been made intentionally and knowingly to lower the moral character of the respondent in the estimation of others.In order to substantiate his contention he extracted the following passage from the judgment dated 26th November, 1977, of Shri D. C. Aggarwal, Special Judge, in the above mentioned case : ""INthese circumstances it has to be taken notice of that as against Inspector .Shamsher Singh, admittedly a murder case was registered at Police Station Kingsway Camp although according to him it was a false case.Of course, I would not attach importance to the case of damages filed against him by Shri H. K. S. Malik (now Additional District Judge) as derogatory to his credibility as police officer, as he explained that that case had been filed only because he had not allowed Shri H. K, S.

+"JUDGMENT Samvatsar, J.The accused were on inimical terms with one Jaganath now deceased & there were some disputes going on between them before the Revenue Courts.On 13-7-1952 the deceased Jaganath was working in a field which belonged to the accused Keshya and was taken by the deceased in lieu of his debt.The deceased was working in the field since mid-day assisted by his servant one Shankar Chamar.When both of them were returning from the field in the evening and were crossing a nala on the way they were attacked by the three accused with lathies.Shankar ran away but Jaganath was mercilessly beaten and sustained .12 injuries which included a compound depressed, fracture of the left temporal bone.Jaganath died as a result of these injuries on the following day.Upon these facts the three accused along with two other persons were put up for trial under Sections 302/149/147, I.P.C. The Additional Sessions Judge Dewas acquitted the other two persons but convicted the three appellants under Section 325, I.P.C. and sentenced each of them to rigorous imprisonment for 7 years.Aggrieved by this, the accused have preferred this appeal against their conviction and sentence.Mr. Rege, the learned Counsel for the appellants urged that the lower Court has found that there was a mutual fight between the two parties, but the learned Judge has failed, to determine which party had commenced the assault.The learned Counsel contended that the injuries on the body of the deceased were not those of rod marks but were such as could be caused by fall.P. W. 2 Shankar and P. W. 20 Amara have stated that the deceased Jaganath was beaten by sticks.The story given out by the prosecution witnesses was thus not correct.The learned Counsel also submitted that there was no charge under Section 34, I.P.C. though the learned Judge had made use of this section in determining the guilt of the accused.The accused No. 1 Dewa has denied the offence but has admitted that there was a fight but according to him it was due to an attack upon him by Jaganath and Shankar and that it was he who was the sufferer in that.Shankar's presence on the scene is thus directly admitted.According to Shankar while they were going through the nala, the three accused attacked Jaganath with sticks.The witness himself was also attacked but he escaped and ran away.From a distance, ho looked back, and saw the three accused hammering Jaganath.P. W. 20 Amara, who was some distance behind Jaganath and Shankar corroborated Shankar.He saw the three accused beating Jaganath.Amara is the person who reported the incident at the Police Station and has lodged the first information report which contained the names of the three accused.The accused were arrested the same day and on medical examination found to have injuries on their bodies.That Jaganath sustained injuries at the place of occurrence and was found lying there unconscious is no longer in dispute.In my opinion there is thus enough material on record to hold that the accused beat the deceased Jaganath.The next question for determination is under what section should the accused be convicted.Mr. Rege, the learned Counsel for the appellants, urged that the accused were, charged under Section 149 for participating in beating with the common object but there was nothing in the charge-sheet to suggest that the accused were being charged for common intention which is a material ingredient Of Section 34, I.P.C. He also criticised the finding of the Additional Sessions Judge regarding common intention and pointed out that all the accused had not assaulted Jaganath together and had reached the spot one after the other.The last argument does not appeal to me.","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 147 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"JUDGMENT Usha Mehra, J.(1) This revision petition has been filed by one Shri Daulat Ram assailing the order passed by the Additional Sessions Judge dated 18th February, 1991 thereby discharging the accused Rajinder Motwani and dismissing the complaint of the petitioner under Section 211/500 Indian Penal Code .(2) In brief, the facts of this case are that the petitioner is a landlord/owner of property bearing No. 3493, Gali Lallu Nissar, Qutub Road, Sadar Bazar, Delhi, and one Shri Sajjan Dass of Narain Market, was a tenant under him in respect of one room used as a godown on a monthly rent of Rs. 25.00 .The respondent and his father in order to blackmail the petitioners, started claiming the tenancy in the name of their firm M/s. Popular Stores.This they claimed because once upon a time Sajjan Dass was a partner in the said concern.Since the petitioner refused to recognise them as a tenant, the respondent and his father filed a civil suit on which a local commissioner was appointed to ascertain the possession of the party in the suit premises.The local commissioner found that the respondent was not in possession of the alleged godown.Having failed in their object, the respondent tried to dispossess the petitioner through illegal help and backing of the police and also tried to implicate falsely the petitioner in criminal cases.(3) The police officers visited the petitioner on 25/26th October, 1986 and informed him that there is a police report lodged against him for dispossessing the respondent and theft of articles and that he should report to the police station.The police official while contesting the bail application brought on record the report filed by the on the day when he applied his mind and passed the order of summoning.Therefore, the complaint which was filed by the petitioner dated 28t October, 1986 is hit by the Provisions of 195(l)(b), Criminal Procedure Code .Anticipatory bail was sought on 31.10.1986 because of the complaint filed by the respondent against the petitioner regarding the theft.Since the Magistrate exceeded his jurisdiction hence the Additional Sessions Judge was justified in quashing the order.Since the complaint itself was not maintainable, hence the revision is also not maintainable.(4) On the other hand, Mr. G.D. Gandhi appearing for the petitioner contended that Magistrate took cognizance on the day the petitioner filed the complaint i.e. 28th October, 1986 when the complaint was taken on record, it amounted to taking of the cognizance.Hence on 28th October, 1986, when the Magistrate took the cognizance no proceedings were pending.His complaint dated 23rd October, 1986 had been concealed by the police throughout.It this regard I am also supported by catena of judgments of the Supreme Court and High Court, reference can be had to the following authorities:1.Gopal Dass Sindhi and others Vs.2.Kamlapati Trivedi Vs.State of West Bengal .3.State of Punjab Vs.Brij Lal Palta .Allbert Accused No.1 Vs.5.Rejeshwar Prasad Misra Vs.6.Baijnath Vs.State of Madhya Pradesh .7.State of Himachal Pradesh Vs.Krishan Lal Pardhan and others 1987 Crl.8.State of West Bengal Vs.Bejoy Kumar Bose .",['Section 500 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The liberty was granted by the Division Bench to dispose of the above-mentioned application being IA No.9770/2011 without being influenced by the impugned order.8.2 Being aggrieved by the illegal and criminal actions of the office bearers of the Society, defendant no. 3 made representations at the office of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies but there was no effective action.Thereafter defendant no.3 had sent a representation to the Lt. Governor of Delhi requesting his intervention also requesting Lt. Governor to direct the Society to continue him as regular and bonafide member.Hence defendant no. 3 filed an arbitration petition being 37/JR1/CH/92-93 before the Registrar Cooperative Societies Act claiming that he had not resigned from membership of the Society and he did not have any disqualification under any provision of law and thereby he is a regular and bonafide member of the Society.8.7 Defendant no. 3 also contends that the office bearers have played fraud on him.The office bearers have also put up a false case that Paras Nath Pathak is not the one and the same person and that the real Paras Nath Pathak had resigned from membership.Allegations are also made that Mr. Shekhar Vashisht played an instrumental role in the sale proceedings for some ulterior motive as the purchaser was his mother in law, the plaintiff herein.8.20 The Society wrote a letter bearing No. UCGHS/GK/08-01/05 dated 31.08.2005 to DDA knowing about the status of the Flat No. B-Thereafter Society took possession of the said flat vide its letter dated 14.02.2006 and intimated certain information to DDA.By this order, I propose to decide the third application filed by the plaintiff, bearing I.A. No.9770/2011 filed under Section 94 read with Order XXXIX, Rules 1, 2 & 3 CPC.It is the admitted position that the plaintiffs earlier applications, both under Order XXXIX, Rules 1 & 2 CPC bearing I.A. No.4897/2007 & I.A. No.7083/2008 were dismissed vide order dated 20.09.2010 and the ex-parte injunction order granted on 11.08.2008 was vacated.The said order was passed by the Court after hearing both the parties.Thereafter, the plaintiff filed an appeal against the said order, bearing FAO(OS) No.117-18/2011 before the Division Bench, which was dismissed as withdrawn.The parties were also granted liberty to raise their all respective contentions.Thus, the learned counsel for the plaintiff states that the present application is maintainable on the grounds of fresh cause of action and the same be disposed of.The Plaintiff's CaseThe plaintiff filed the present suit under Sections 31, 33 & 34 of the Specific Relief Act, 1963 for declaration, and in the alternative, claiming a compensation to the tune of Rs.82,16,000/- from the defendants apart from other reliefs.4.2 The plaintiff submits that the defendant No. 2 had issued a No Objection Certificate dated 29.12.2003 in favour of defendant No.1 and consequently, the said flat was allotted in her favour.Thereafter, the defendant No.1 got the said flat registered in her favour.The said I.A. No.9770/2011 in CS(OS) No.774/2007 Page No.2 of 21 property was then converted from lease-hold to free-hold vide registered deed dated 24.08.2004 making the defendant No.1 the absolute owner.4.3 Defendant No.1 now being the absolute owner of the said property and being in possession thereof entered into a sale agreement with the plaintiff and executed a Sale Deed dated 09.05.2005 and by virtue of the same, the plaintiff became the absolute owner of the property.Thereafter defendant No. 1 & 2 started claiming that defendant No.1 had, in fact, ceased to be a member of the Society and hence not entitled to the said flat.The plaintiff states that there is absolutely no relationship between the plaintiff and the defendants.The defendant No.1 had conveyed a deed in favour of plaintiff, by the title paramount and 4.5 There were no proceedings initiated qua cancellation of the said Sale Deed and a duly registered document cannot be superseded or become non-existence by an executive action/order and in the absence of a registered document.4.6 The plaintiff also submits that the communication dated 16.3.2007 on the face of it is null and void and is any event an outcome of connivance of defendant No. 1 & 2 as the flat in question continues to be vested upon the plaintiff as she is the lawful/legal owner as she had got the flat legally and with proper procedure.4.7 Alongwith the suit, the plaintiff also filed an application for interim relief.Ex-parte order granted on 11.08.2008 and was vacated vide order dated 20.09.2010 after hearing the parties.While dismissing the interim applications filed by the plaintiff, the Court has dealt with submission of the parties and given its findings in paragraphs-15 to 20 of the order which are against the plaintiff.The same read as under:-In other words, the entire thrust of the plaint of the plaintiff is that the defendant no.1 did not have the title to the property and yet she sold the same in favour of the plaintiff and consequently, she became a victim of fraud and yet she wants to be declared as bonafide purchaser.In view of the order passed by the Division Bench, now the plaintiff is insisting for an interim order in the second application being IA No.9770/2011 i.e. for same relief.I.A. No.9770/2011 in CS(OS) No.774/2007 Page No.6 of 21It is argued by the plaintiff that the documents executed in his favour would show that the Registrar of Cooperative Societies is not vested with any jurisdiction to allow allotment of the said flat.It is stated that under the garb of the communication, no third party right can be created of the said flat depriving the rights of the plaintiff.The plaintiff also submits that if defendant No.2 acts on the basis of the communication dated 13.05.2011, then the plaintiff would suffer irreparable loss and hence prayed for status quo.The matter was assigned to the Assistant Registrar Cooperatives Society.Defendant no. 3 filed an appeal against the order of Assistant Registrar before the Presiding Officer of Delhi Cooperative Tribunal.The same was dismissed on the ground that the writ petition was filed on disputed question of facts.8.8 With regard to that Paras Nath Pathak submitted a representation at the concerned police station and asked the police officials to register a F.I.R. but the police officials refused to register an F.I.R. Defendant No.3 claims that the police officials were under the influence from the office bearers.On 14.12.2002 Sri Paras Nath Pathak gave a written complaint to the Commissioner of Police, Police Head Quarter, I.P. Extension requesting them to register a complaint against the office bearers of the Society for fabrication of documents, criminal breach of trust and falsification of accounts.I.A. No.9770/2011 in CS(OS) No.774/2007 Page No.9 of 21 8.9 Despite the representations no complaint/F.I.R was registered by the police or the CBI.Hence defendant no. 3 approached the High Court and filed a Writ Petition being W.P (Crl) No. 26/2005 for issuance of a direction to the State to register and F.I.R. in this regard.8.10 Pursuant to the directions of the High Court, an enquiry u/s 55 of the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act was initiated and Shri S.M. Agarwal, ADJ (Retired) was appointed as Enquiry Officer.The High Court vide its order dated 21.03.2006 in W.P. (Crl) No. 26/2005, directed the DCP, EOW Cell Delhi Police to take up enquiry and file report within four weeks.8.11 Pursuant to the orders dated 21.03.2006 by the High Court a F.I.R. was registered being No. 133 dated 19.04.2006 under sections 420, 468, 471 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code and investigation was conducted by Insp.S.S. Gill and the Writ Petition was disposed of.8.12 Thereafter, defendant no. 3 approached the Registrar of the Cooperatives Society and wanted to opt for his legitimate claim on a flat in the housing society.8.13 Defendant no. 3 again approached the Court for clarification of the order dated 26.04.2001 and the Court vide order dated 17.08.2007 passed in C.M. No. 10539/2007 in W.P. (C ) No. 2614 of 2001 has observed ""having considered the materials on record I am of the opinion that no clarification is required to be made; the events relied on are all subsequent to the dismissal of the petition and therefore if the petitioner has any remedies available in law it is open for him to pursue the same.the order dated 26.04.2001 was on the basis of that adjudication in the writ petition entails investigation into the disputed questions of facts; there was no decision on merits of the case""8.14 Hence defendant no. 3 approached the Registrar of Cooperative Society for confirmation of his membership and allotment of his flat B- 47, the only vacant flat.A detailed proceedings went on at the office of the Registrar who vide order 16.04.2008 approved the report of Enquiry Office Shri S.M. Aggarwal and membership of defendant no. 3 was approved.8.15 It is also alleged that a Writ Petition being W.P. (C) No. 4324/2008 titled as Seema Bijlani Vs.Registrar Cooperative Societies & Ors was filed before this Court to frustrate the claim of defendant no. 3 and he was not made a party.I.A. No.9770/2011 in CS(OS) No.774/2007 Page No.11 of 21 8.16 A publication was made in the two daily newspapers namely Statesman, Rashtriya Sahara dated 23rd July 2008 for draw of a flat (B-47) any persons having any objections may submit representation to Assistant Registrar within 15 days of the said publication.In the meanwhile a suit was filed by the plaintiff against Smt. Gayatri Kukreja.Thereafter DDA vide letter dated 16.03.2007 that the Deed of Conveyance dated 24.08.2004 stands cancelled by the L.G. of Delhi.Reply of Defendant No.2 SocietyDefendant No. 2 has also filed reply to the application, stating therein that the plaintiff is not the owner of the flat as alleged.The flat in fact was allotted to Smt. Gayatri Kukreja who through proceedings initiated against her, submitted her resignation and the same was accepted by the Registrar Cooperative Societies.9.1 After knowing of this fact, Mr. Shekhar Vashist, son in law of the plaintiff and a member of the society manipulated the documents for getting flat done to free hold as DDA organized a Riverside camp in Mayur Vihar Phase I and converted the said flat from lease hold to I.A. No.9770/2011 in CS(OS) No.774/2007 Page No.13 of 21 freehold.It is alleged that a manipulation was done by Mr. Vashist and the flat was sold at a throw away price for a consideration of Rs. 7.90 lac as against the proper market value of 30 lac who was fully aware of the fact that defendant No. 2 Smt. Gayatri Kukreja had already resigned from the membership.9.2 The plaintiff had intentionally not stated all the facts in the matter despite of having knowledge of all the facts.The alleged NOC dated 29.12.2003 was never issued by defendant no. 2 but a mere manipulation of documents by Mr. Vashist who also witnessed the conveyance deed.9.3 The defendant no. 1 gave her resignation from the membership of the Society and hence had no title to the said flat.Defendant no. 2 till date is the owner of the flat and plaintiff has no right whatsoever.The defendant No. 2 states that Mr. Shekhar Vashist is the owner of flat no.

+"The sentences imposed on the accused were directed to run concurrently.Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the appellants have come forward with the present appeal.The case of the prosecution is that the deceased Rajeshkanna, A1 and P.W.2 were doing business in sago under the name and style of J.S.R, in which they were all partners.Subsequently, since some dispute arose between them, the deceased and P.W.2 left A1 and started their own business.A1 and A2 alone were doing the said business .When the deceased and P.W.2 urged A1 to settle the accounts, A1 asked them to come on 26.4.2001 so that the accounts could be settled.On 26.4.2001 at 9.30 p.m., when P.W.1 went to the shop of A1, the deceased, P.W.2 and A1 were present.When they demanded A1 to settle the amount, A1 took patta knife from the drawer and attacked the deceased.A2 also attacked the deceased and P.W.2 with knife.P.W.2 was taken to Hospital by P.W.5 one Kannan.The deceased was taken to Gokulam Hospital by P.W.1 and then the deceased was taken to Government Hosptial, where the Doctor declared the deceased Rajeshkhanna dead.Thereafter P.W.1 gave a complaint to the Chevvapet Police Station.P.W.11 Sub Inspector of Police registered a case in Cr.No.340 /2001 under Sections 302, 307 IPC and prepared Ex.P15 FIR.On receipt of the copy of the FIR, P.W.12 the Inspector of Police, took up investigation, proceeded to the scene of occurrence at 2 a.m. and prepared an observation mahazar Ex.P3 and a rough sketch Ex.He completed the investigation and laid the charge sheet against the accused under Sections 302 and 307 read with 34 IPC.Before the trial court on the side of the prosecution P.Ws.1 to 12 were examined, Exs.P1 to P17 were filed and M.Os. 1 to 18 were marked.On the side of the defence, D.Ws 1 to 4 were examined, Exs.D1 to D16 were filed and M.Os. 1 and 2 were marked.When the accused was questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in respect of the incriminating materials appearing against them through the evidence adduced by the prosecution, the accused denied their complicity.The trial court on consideration of the oral and documentary evidence convicted the appellants and sentenced them as stated above.As there was no representation on behalf of the appellants, notice was issued to the learned counsel for the appellant who reported no instructions.Even though notice was taken to the accused, there was no representation for the appellants.Hence Mr.Parthiban was appointed as legal aid counsel and he has appeared in this matter.The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side ) has no objections for the same.From the records it is seen that during the incident, the deceased and other persons attacked the accused and in this regard no investigation was made.P.W.2 Jai Ganesh has given dying declaration before D.W.1 Judicial Magistrate,.D.W.4 Doctor in his evidence would state that A1 sustained fracture on his nose, which was grievous in nature and A1 also sustained simple injuries.D.W.4 Doctor in his evidence would state that A1 sustained fracture on his nose, which was grievous in nature and A1 also sustained simple injuries.He would further state that as A1 complained of pain, he sent him for taking X ray.D.W.4 would also state that A2 also sustained simple injuries.D.W.2 Doctor in his evidence would state that A1 sustained nose injury and he took X ray of the nose injury and gave Ex.D5 report .From the above materials, I am of the view that the investigation has not been properly made and the injury caused on the accused has also not been considered.Without considering this aspect, the trial court has convicted the accused for the offence under Sections 304 Part II read with 34 IPC and 326 read with 34 and sentenced them to undergo 10 years rigorous imprisonment under Section 304 Part II IPC read with 34 and two years under Section 326 read with 34 IPC.I am of the view that the sentence of ten years rigorous imprisonment under Section 304 Part II IPC is on the higher side.Considering the fact that the A1 also suffered grievous injuries and further the accused have to maintain their families, I am of the view that in order to meet the ends of justice, the sentence imposed by the trial court under Section 304 Part II read with 34 IPC could be reduced to seven years and accordingly sentence is modified into seven years of rigorous imprisonment instead of 10 years.In other respects the conviction and sentence imposed by the trial court under Section 326 read with 34 IPC is confirmed.With the above modification, the appeal stands dismissed.The counsel appearing for the accused is entitled to get remuneration from the Tamil Nadu Legal Services Authority, Chennai.I Additional Sessions Judge cum Chief Judicial Magistrate, SalemThe Public Prosecutor High Court, Chennai","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in

+"The complaint proceeds that A1 to A14 have executed three power of attorneys in favour of the second respondent defacto complainant vide document nos.178/1998, 297/2007 and 1787/2008 and on the strength of the same, the power of attorney mortgaged the property for Rs.1 lakh.In pursuance of the same, the power of attorney entered into an agreement for purchase of the property and put up compound wall and grill gate and obtained service connection and conducted three cases before the Court at Chengalpet and thereafter, executed a sale deed in favour of one Shanthi on 13.7.2011 vide document no.7424/2011 and the defacto complainant has been insisting A1 to A14 to receive the balance sale consideration, but the accused have been postponing the same.While so, the defacto complainant on behalf of Shanthi applied for patta and they come to know that the property was already sold to one Jinnah, who is the petitioner herein.The complaint further proceeds that the sale deed in favour of Jinnah is not valid and the same is executed by his principals without the knowledge of the power of attorney, after obtaining part of the sale consideration and thereafter creating encumbrance to cheat the purchaser who is the power of attorney holder and without handing over the original documents, which are in the custody of the power of attorney holder.Thus, the principals of the defacto complainant i.e., A1 to A14, in order to cheat their power of attorney, have created illegal sale deed and committed an act of land grabbing.The complaint was lodged on 31.3.2011 and was registered as FIR in Cr.No.100/2013 on 24.12.2013 against the principals and the petitioner herein.3.The petitioner/A15 has come forward with the present petition to quash the proceedings on the ground that the allegations raised in the FIR failed to make out any offence in law, much less offence of cheating and none of the ingredients of the offences as referred to above is made out and the complaint came to be lodged only to wreck vengeance against the petitioner herein and to counter blast the complaint and the civil suit filed by the petitioner herein and that, the dispute raised herein is more of civil in nature and there is no element of crime involved in it and the criminal jurisdiction invoked is an abuse of process of law.It is further stated herein that A1 to A14, being the owners of the property, executed sale deed in favour of the petitioner as well as in favour of the second respondent's wife and the sale deed in favour of the petitioner was earlier in point of time and the sale deed in favour of his wife executed by the second respondent by using the power of attorney, which is said to have been executed by A1 to A14, was much after the sale of the property to the petitioner with the knowledge of the sale transaction in favour of the petitioner and it is only the complainant along with the second respondent's wife trying to dispossess the petitioner of the property by using the power of attorney and the sale deed and the complaint filed by the second respondent is hence tainted with malafide and with ulterior motive and the same is registered as FIR without any enquiry.It is also his case that the allegations raised in the FIR disclose cognizable offences and make out a prima facie case.According to the second respondent, the property was offered for sale by the owners and he agreed to purchase the same for more than Rs.20 lakhs as sale price and obtained registered deed of power of attorney in his favour, authorising him to deal with the property and thereafter he constructed compound wall in and around the property and put up grill date and obtained electricity connection and defended three civil suits filed against the principals and thereafter sold and executed registered sale deed in favour of his wife Shanthi.Only on making application for patta, he came to know about execution of sham and nominal sale deed in favour of the petitioner by the principals without any right to do so and A1 to A15 have thus defrauded the second respondent and A1 to A14 committed criminal breach of trust by falsification of records along with A15 and pendency of the civil suit cannot absolve them from the criminal prosecution and FIR was registered only after holding detailed enquiry.It is further submitted that the petitioner committed fraud on his vendors by creating two forged documents i.e. one for Rs.1,20,00,000/- and another for Rs.25,07,000/- and the same requires thorough probe.5.Heard the rival submissions made on both sides and perused the records.6.It is not in dispute that the property belongs to one Raghavan and A1 to A14 are his sons and grand sons through the deceased son and A1 to A14 have executed registered power of attorneys in favour of the second respondent defacto complainant and during the currency of the same, A1 to A14/owners of the property executed a sale deed in favour of the petitioner vide Document No.3529 of 2011 dated 31.3.2011 without reference to the power of attorney and after execution of the sale deed in favour of the petitioner, the power of attorney holder executed a sale deed in favour of his wife on 13.7.2011 on the strength of such power of attorney.The second respondent has come forward with the present complaint stating that the sale deed executed in favour of the petitioner herein, after agreeing to sell the property to the second respondent and after obtaining Rs.20 lakhs as part of the sale consideration and after allowing the defacto complainant to mortgage the property and to execute a sale deed and to defend three civil suits and without obtaining the original title deeds from the power of attorney holder and without verifying the encumbrance on the property, is dishonest and fraudulent act and is outcome of the collusion between A1 to A14/owners on one hand and A15/purchaser on other hand to create encumbrance on the property in order to harass the power of attorney and his purchaser.Insofar as the petitioner is concerned, he also lodged a complaint against the second respondent and others in this regard.The petitioner has also filed the civil suit in OS No.349/2013 against the purchaser Shanthi, defacto complainant and A1 to A14 for various reliefs, i.e., to declare the power of attorneys dated 15.4.1998, 24.1.2007 and 13.9.2008 in favour of the second respondent herein vide Doc.Nos.179 of 1998, 292/2007 and 1787/2008 on the file of SRO, Guduvancheri as null and void and not binding on the plaintiff; to declare the sale deeds dated 13.7.2011 executed by the second respondent herein in capacity of power agent of the Principals in favour of his wife, which was registered as Doc.No.7424 of 2011 on the file of SRO, Guduvancheri as null and void and not binding on the plaintiff; and for permanent injunction restraining the first defendant/purchaser from in any manner dealing with the suit schedule property in pursuance of the sale deed dated 13.7.2011 executed in her favour by the power of attorney.The suit was filed along with IA.No.1707/2013 for interim relief.A1 to A14 as the respondents/defendants 2 to 16 therein, have filed their counter and written statement in I.A.1707/2013 and the wife of the second respondent defacto complainant and the second respondent as defendants 1 and 17, filed their detailed written statement in the suit and counter in the application.8.The perusal of the avements raised in the FIR would reveal that A1 to A14 as different set of defendants in the suit filed two different counters and written statements in the same.As far as the Second respondent is concerned, he has come forward with improved but different version at every stage.9.It may be true that the second respondent has by way of typed set and additional typed set, produced the copies of the documents in support of his theory regarding execution of mortgage, pendency of civil suit against the principals and cash receipts for payment of part of the sale consideration etc. The fact that the deed of power of attorney was executed in his favour by the principals and he mortgaged the property on the strength of the same and he defended the suits on behalf of the principals, may be evident from the documents as referred to above.However, other documents filed on his behalf by way of agreement of sale and cash receipts and statement of accounts are more in the nature of self serving documents and are the matters for appreciation of evidence.Till date, the second respondent, who

+"a) A-1 and A-2 are cousin brothers.P.W.2-Mariamma is the wife of the deceased Thiruvannamalaiyan.Both the accused family and the deceased family were living at Melpattu village.A-2 owned 1 acre 40 cents of land in the said village.This land was leased out to the deceased for Rs.3,000/- for a period of five years.He also allowed the deceased to possess and enjoy the said land and take the yield arising therefrom.After five years period was over, the deceased demanded for the return of the lease amount.But, A-2 refused to make the payment.Due to this, there was a frequent quarrel between A-2 and the deceased.P.W.2 was often sent by the deceased to the house of A-2 asking for the return of the payment.b) On the day of occurrence, i.e. on 16.05.1994 at about 5.30 p.m, while the wordy quarrel was going on between the deceased and his wife P.W.2 near the land of A-1, she pleaded with A-1, who was passing that way, to save her by his intervention.Then, A-1 asked the deceased not to beat P.W.2 anymore and he tried to pacify both of them.But, the deceased scolded A-1, stating that he was supporting P.W.2, because he was having illegal relationship with her.Efforts taken by A-1 to separate them failed.Therefore, he took a wooden log found near a tree and beat the deceased on his head.At that time, A-2 also instigated A-1 to attack the deceased.The incident was witnessed by P.Ws.3 to 5, who are the villagers.Both of the accused on seeing them, sped away from the scene.c) Next day i.e., on 17.05.1994 at about 10.00 p.m, A-1 went to Village Administrative Officer-P.W.1 and gave an Extra-Judicial Confession, confessing that he attacked the deceased with the wooden log due to the quarrel and also handed over the said wooden log-M.O.1 to the Village Administrative Officer.d) Then P.W.1 and P.W.6 proceeded to the scene of occurrence along with A-1 to see the dead body.Since the dead body was not found at the spot, they went to the house of the deceased where the body was kept and saw the dead body with the injuries.e) Thereafter, they went to the police station on 18.05.1994 at about 9.00 a.m. P.W.1 prepared Ex.P-2 report and produced the accused as well as M.O.1 wooden log and also handed over the report Ex.P-1 to P.W.15, the Sub Inspector of Police, on the basis of which, P.W.15 then registered a case for an offence under Section 302 and 302 r/w 109 IPC.He sent the complaint and the First Information Report to the Court and the superior officers.f) P.W.16 the Inspector of Police went to the spot at 12.30 p.m. He observed all the formalities by preparing the Observation Mahazar and the Rough Sketch and he conducted inquest over the body of the deceased.On the same day, he examined P.Ws.2 to 5 and the panchayatdars.The dead body was then sent for postmortem.g) P.W.11, the Doctor conducted postmortem on 19.05.1994 at about 9.00 a.m. He found as many as three injuries on the body of the deceased and gave opinion that the deceased would appear to have died of shock and hemorrhage due to the injuries on the head.JUDGMENT M. Karpagavinayagam, J.The appellant Arunachalam was tried and convicted for an offence under Section 302 IPC, for having caused the death of one Thiruvannamalaiyan.Originally, the appellant Arunachalam and another accused, namely Subramani (A-2) were tried for offence under Sections 302 and 302 r/w 109 IPC, of whom, A-2 has been acquitted, and the appellant alone has been convicted as referred to above.Ex.P-8 is the postmortem certificate issued by him.He then arranged for sending the material objects for chemical analysis.After completion of the investigation, he filed the charge sheet against the accused.In the trial Court, on the side of the prosecution, P.Ws.1 to P.W.16 were examined, Exs.P-1 to P-20 were filed and M.Os. 1 to 4 were marked.Both the accused while being questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C denied their complicity in crime in question.Ultimately, the trial Court acquitted A-2 and convicted A-1 alone for the offence under Section 302 IPC.Challenging the conviction, Mr. V. Murali, the counsel appearing for the appellant, would contend that though eye witnesses were examined, those witnesses turned hostile and as such, there is no sufficient evidence to convict the accused and the only piece of evidence is the Extra-Judicial Confession, which would suffer from various infirmities and as such, this is a case of no evidence and consequently, the accused is entitled to be acquitted.We have heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor in respect of these aspects.We have carefully considered the submissions made by the respective parties.We have also gone through the records.According to the prosecution, on 16.05.1994 at about 5.30 p.m, when the wordy quarrel was going on between the deceased and his wife P.W.2, A-1 and A-2 intervened and at that time, the deceased uttered abusive words against A-1, as if he was having illegal relationship with his wife P.W.2 and this made him to take a wooden log found nearby and attack the deceased.In that process, A-2 also attacked the deceased with the hands.As referred to above, A-2 was acquitted as there is no evidence against him.Now, to connect the appellant (A-1) with the crime, the only piece of evidence that is available is the Extra-Judicial Confession made by the first accused to P.W.1, the Village Administrative Officer.All the other eye witnesses, namely, P.Ws.2 to 5 turned hostile.The recording of Extra Judicial Confession has been spoken to by P.W.1, the Village Administrative Officer and P.W.6, the Village Menial.It is settled law that even though there is no other evidence except the Extra-Judicial Confession, if the same is taken to be a reliable piece of evidence, then the conviction can be based.According to the prosecution, the occurrence took place on 16.05.1994 at about 5.30 p.m. P.W.1 recorded the Extra-Judicial Confession on 17.05.1994 at about 10.00 p.m. Only next day, the Village Administrative Officer (P.W.1) produced the accused along with the complaint and the report to the Sub Inspector of police P.W.15 at about 9.00 a.m.Though it is the case of the prosecution that the Extra-Judicial Confession has been made by A-1 to P.W.1 before the commencement of the investigation, the evidence of P.W.6 and P.W.7 would make it clear that the statement was given by the accused to P.W.1, the Village Administrative Officer at the spot in the presence of the police officer.They also admit the same in the cross examination.Thus it is obvious that the Extra-Judicial Confession cannot be said to be a voluntary one and as such, it loses its value.Further, it is noticed that the Doctor P.W.11 would state in his evidence and Ex.P-8-Post Mortem Certificate that the deceased would have died 96-100 hours prior to the commencement of postmortem.A according to the prosecution, the death had occurred only on 16.05.1994 about 5.30 p.m as per Ex.P-1, Extra-Judicial Confession.Therefore, the time of death as opined by Doctor P.W.11 also would not tally with the case of the prosecution.Consequently, this Court is constrained to hold that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against the appellant.Under those circumstances, we are unable to sustain the conviction imposed by the trial Court and therefore, the conviction and sentence imposed on the first accused are set aside and he is acquitted of the charge.The bail bond executed by the first accused shall stand cancelled.The appeal is allowed accordingly.",['Section 302 in The Indian Penal

+"Prosecution case, as alleged, against the appellant is to the effect that a matrimonial dispute was pending between him and his wife, Rakhi Singha, the deceased.Maintenance proceeding was instituted by Rakhi against the appellant.Appellant failed and/or neglected to pay maintenance dues and was taken into custody.Out of grudge, in the night between 25/26th July, 2008 while Rakhi was sleeping with her sister Sikha Singha, P.W.1 at the Paikpara residence, the appellant attacked her.Hearing the shouts of her sister, Sikha woke up and found her sister with a deep cut injury on her neck.She saw the appellant running away with a 'batali' (a sharp cutting weapon) in his hand.Sikha chased him but he succeeded to flee away.She sent information about the unfortunate incident to her mother Dulali Singha, P.W.2 through a taxi driver.Dulali and other relations who were residing in a nearby house rushed to the spot.The victim was taken to hospital but was declared dead.From the analysis of the evidence on record, it appears that P.W.1, Sikha Singha is the most vital witness in the instant case.She deposed she was sleeping with her sister Rakhi Singha on the fateful night.After dinner they had gone off to sleep around 12.30 a.m. Suddenly, she woke up hearing shouts of her sister and found Rakhi bleeding from her neck.She also noted Ananda, her brother-in-law trying to flee away with a batali.She chased him but he succeeded in escaping.She informed the matter to her mother through a taxi driver.Her mother and other sisters arrived at the spot.The victim was taken to Beniagram Hospital where the doctor declared her dead.She further deposed Ananda, her brother-in-law had been taken into custody for non-payment of maintenance dues in connection with a maintenance case.He had threatened to kill his wife, Rakhi if the case was not withdrawn.She was extensively cross-examined with regard to a dispute over land between themselves and their uncle Haripada.However, cross-examination of the witness did not dislodge her from her stance that she was present at the place of occurrence when her sister was assaulted on the neck and that she had seen the appellant run away from the place of occurrence.Evidence of P.W.1 is corroborated by her mother P.W.2, Dulali Singha and other sisters, viz., P.W.3, Sanju Singh, P.W.8, Anuradha Singha and P.W.10, Priyanka Singha.These witnesses deposed upon hearing the incident they rushed to the spot and found Rakhi in bleeding condition.Cut injury in the Larynx, blood in the traks.Both the Larynx congested and cut injury in the cardiatic vessels (Lt.

Case No.107 of 2008 dated 26.7.2008 under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.In the course of investigation, police seized the weapon of offence and other articles.The appellant was arrested.In conclusion of investigation, charge sheet was filed and charge was framed against the appellant under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.The appellant pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.In the course of trial, prosecution examined 13 witnesses and exhibited a number of documents.In conclusion of trial, trial judge by impugned judgement and order dated 28.7.2010 and 29.7.2010 convicted and sentenced the appellant, as aforesaid.Taxi driver who informed the other witnesses has not been examined.Name of the appellant did not transpire before the doctor to whom the victim had been taken and was declared dead.There was enmity between the family of the deceased and one Haripada Singha, their paternal uncle.Hence, possibility of murder committed at the behest of Haripada cannot be ruled out.Hence, it is argued that the appellant may be acquitted.On the other hand, Mr. Arun Kumar Maity, learned Additional Public Prosecutor submitted that P.W.1 a natural witness to the incident who woke up and saw the appellant running away from the spot with a batali.Immediately after the incident, first information report was registered and post mortem doctor corroborated the evidence of P.W.1 with regard to the nature of injury caused on the deceased.Weapon of offence was also recovered from the place of occurrence probabilising the prosecution case.Hence, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.She was removed to hospital where she was declared dead.P.W.4, Dr. Sajal Pandit, Medical Officer at Beniagram B.P.H.C. deposed Rakhi was brought to the Health Centre by her mother and others where she was declared dead.P.W.7, Dr. Md. Hamid Ali, post mortem doctor found the following injuries on her person:-""cut injury on the left side of the neck, 1 "" X 1""X 3"", below the Angle of the mandible, slightly oblique.He held inquest over the dead body of Rakhi.He examined witnesses and seized articles including weapon of offence from place of occurrence.He seized wearing apparels of Rakhi (P.W.12).He handed over the investigation to S.I., Surajit Sadhukhan who sent the seized articles for F.S.L. examination and submitted charge sheet.Evidence of P.W.1 is, therefore, corroborated not only by her relations viz., P.W.3, P.W.8 and P.W.10 who rushed to the place of occurrence soon after the incident but also by P.W.7, post mortem doctor who noted a cut injury on the left side of the neck.Hence, ocular version of P.W.1 appears to find support from the medical evidence with regard to the manner of assault on the deceased resulting in her death.Her version is criticised by the learned Advocate appearing for the appellant on the score there was no light in the room.It is also argued that it is unnatural that P.W.1 did not sustain any injury on her person during the assault.I am unable to accept such contention.P.W.1 has categorically stated in the FIR that light was burning in the room at the time of occurrence.Her presence in the room along with her sister at night is most natural.P.W. 1 woke up upon hearing cries of her sister and saw the appellant running away with a batali.Faint plea with regard to animosity between the victim's family and their uncle is of little relevance.Motive of the appellant to commit crime has clearly been established.He had been detained for non-payment of maintenance dues and had threatened his wife.Thereafter he came to her residence and assaulted her.In the light of the aforesaid discussion, I am of the opinion that the prosecution case against the appellant is proved beyond reasonable doubt.Copy of the judgment along with L.C.R.s be sent down to the trial court at once.Urgent Photostat Certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied expeditiously after complying with all necessary legal formalities.I agree.",['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"2.The prosecution case is that the appellant/Murugan had physical intimacy with the victim on the promise that he will marry her.But he went back on his words.As a result of the appellant's conduct, the marriage that was scheduled to be performed between the victim and her relative was also stopped.In this regard, victim lodged Ex.The learned counsel for the appellant also submitted that having regard to the evidence on record, he would not challenge the conviction imposed on the appellant under Section 417 of I.P.C. He only wants leniency to be shown in the matter of punishment.The appellant appears to have spent 45 days in prison.The appellant also comes forward to pay a sum of Rs.30,000/- as compensation to the victim.The appellant also undertakes to execute an affidavit conveying his unconditional apology to the victim for what he has done.The appellant was tried along with three others in Spl.The appellant was convicted for the offence under Section 417 of I.P.C. and Section 3(1)(xii) of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989 and sentenced to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment for each offence.He was also sentenced to pay a sum of Rs.10,000/- as fine.The other accused were acquitted.Questioning the same, this criminal appeal has been filed.P.1/complaint.Since the offences under Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe were also involved, the investigation was done by the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Samayanallur.Final report was filed before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.VI, Maduari.The case committed to Sessions Court in P.R.C.No.116 of 2006 and was taken up for trial in Spl.S.C.No.147 of 2008, on the file of the learned III Additional Sessions Judge (PCR), Madurai.Charges were framed against all the accused as follows:-“1st charge : Cheating by the 1st accused by false representations that he would marry the complainant and thereby punishable u/s 417 IPC against 1st accused, 2nd charge : Committing rape of the complainant by 1st accused u/s 376 IPC against the 1st accused, 3rd charge : Committing criminal breach of trust by selling 4gm gold stud belonging to the complainant, punishable u/s 406 IPC against 1st accused, 4th charge : Committed an offence of cheating by misrepresenting the complainanthttp://www.judis.nic.in 4 regarding causing miscarriage punishable u/s 417 IPC against A1 to A4, 5th charge : Against A2 to A4 committed an offence causing miscarriage to the complainant punishable u/s 312 IPC, 6th charge : Against A1 to A4 intentionally insulted a member of Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe and the complainant being a woman belonging to the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe, exploited her sexually to which she would not have agreed punishable u/s 3(1)(x) and 3(1)(xii) of SC/ST(PA) Act.” Accused pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.On the side of the accused no evidence was adduced.4.The learned Trial Judge after a detailed consideration of the evidence on record acquitted A2 to A4 but convicted and sentenced the appellant herein as mentioned above.Her testimony evokes the confidence ofhttp://www.judis.nic.in 5 this Court.The victim belongs to a notified Scheduled Caste community.The appellant belongs to Kallar community.The victim was working in the field of the appellant's father.Section 3(1)(xii) of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989, reads as under:-“Being in a position to dominate the will of a woman belonging to a Scheduled Caste or a Scheduled Tribe and uses that position to exploit her sexually to which she would not have other agreed;”5.The learned counsel appearing for the appellant brings it to my notice that apart from Section 3(1)(xii) of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989, the appellant was charged for offence of rape.The appellant was also acquitted of the charge under Section 376 of I.P.C. He therefore contends that when once the appellant is acquitted of the charge of rape, the charge under Section 3(1)(xii) of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities Act), 1989, also has to go as a natural corollary.In this regard, the learned counsel forhttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 the appellant drew my attention to a decision of the Honourable Kerala High Court made in Crl.A.No.865 of 2006, (Thomas Kashy Vs.State of Kerala) dated 06.03.2013 in paragraphs 10 and 13 of the said decision, the Honourable High Court held that when the finding is to the effect that there was no rape or forceble sexual assault, it becomes difficult to understand how the victim can be sexually exploited.6.Now comes the question as to whether the conviction imposed on the appellant under Section 417 of I.P.C. will have to be maintained.The appellant is directed to deposit a sum of Rs.30,000/- to the credit of Spl.S.C.No.147 of 2008, on the file of the learned III Additional Sessions Judge (PCR), Madurai, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.The Court below shall hand over the compensation amount of Rs.30,000/- to the victim along with a copy of affidavit of apology to be executed by the appellant.This Court condemns the appellant for having taken a false defence before the Court below that he never had any relationship with the victim.That is why a direction to executehttp://www.judis.nic.in 8 an affidavit of apology has been issued.If the appellant fails to comply with the direction now given namely., deposit of compensation of Rs.30,000/- within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and execution of the affidavit of apology, the sentence imposed by the Court below for the offence under Section 417 of I.P.C. will stand restored.Criminal Appeal is partly allowed.1.The III Additional Sessions Judge (PCR), Madurai.2.The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Samayanallur, Nagamalai Pudukkottai Police Station, Madurai District.http://www.judis.nic.in 9 G.R.SWAMINATHAN,J.ias Crl.A.(MD)No.62 of 2011 19.07.2019http://www.judis.nic.in","['Section 417 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

& 158/2015 Page 16 of 42During cross-examination, he denied the suggestion that he had disclosed the name of the deceased to the police officials.He had known Rahul and his brother for over 2-2 years prior to the incident.He stated that he had left for home after the police had arrived at the spot.On the day, he was neither questioned by the police nor did he volunteer to make any statement to the police.He had informed PW-2 Himanshu using the same mobile phone.PW-2 Himanshu had arrived at the spot within 5-7 minutes of the telephone call.Thereafter, PW-1 left for his home.He had later enquired from PW-2 Himanshu and learnt that the Rahul had died.This conversation had been picked up by the elder brother Rohit and had taken place at about 1:30 AM.He further stated that the PCR officials had removed the injured/deceased to hospital in their official vehicle and PW-2 Himanshu had followed them in some other conveyance.He further stated that when he had called PW-2 Himanshu, he seemed perturbed and told that he was coming in his direction only.The information was received by PW-20 ASI Rameshwar, who was posted at K-55, PCR Van, who deposed that at about 11:35 PM, a call was

is the brother of the deceased and narrated the incident in detail also disclosing the names of the assailants.The SHO (PW-22) then took over the investigation and prepared the site plan, which had been signed by PW-7 as a witness.During cross-examination, PW-7 stated that when he had received DD 55-A, he was outside the police station and around the place of Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 19 of 42 Mahila Mandal.PW-15 HC Rattan Lal was with him when he went to the spot.He had made enquiry to find out if anyone connected with the victim was present in the hospital or not, but no one could be found there.When he returned to the spot from the hospital, only PW-15 HC Rattan Lal and Ct.Vineet were present at the spot.He had arrived there at about 1:15 AM and prepared the rukka while sitting on his motorcycle at the spot.No other police official or public witness had arrived before the rukka was sent.PW-9 Ct.Ram Avtar had returned to the spot after the SHO had arrived at the spot.He further stated that he had not seen PW-2 Himanshu arriving and therefore, could not comment on the mode of transportation used by him; he went on to voluntarily state that he only saw him coming to the SHO.He was unaware of the facts disclosed to the SHO by PW- 2 Himanshu.He further stated that he had assisted the SHO in preparing the site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) by pointing out the place where the blood had been found and chappals were lying.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 19 of 42PW-15 ASI Rattan Lal deposed that on 14.01.2013, he was posted as Head Constable in police station Ambedkar

over the DD entry to him.There was blood lying on the road at the said place.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand made efforts but could not find any eyewitness.It was learnt that the injured had been taken to Trauma Centre, AIIMS by PCR vehicle.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand left him at the spot and proceeded to Trauma Centre.He returned at about 1:15 AM on 15.01.2013 from the hospital.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand made further enquiries, however he was unable to locate any eyewitness Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 20 of 42 even at that stage.Around the same time, PW-22 SHO Abhey Singh had also arrived at the scene.The tehrir was sent by PW-7 ASI Mam Chand at about 2:25 AM.The SHO had inspected the scene.The site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) was prepared at the instance of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand.Around the time of proceedings, PW-9 Ct.During cross-examination, PW-15 stated that he had reached the spot at about 11:50 PM and left the spot at about 3:45 AM the next morning.Public persons were standing at a small distance from the place of occurance and upon enquiry by PW-7 ASI Mam Chand, they informed that one person had been stabbed and after a call to 100, he has been taken to Trauma Centre.In his presence, PW-7 ASI Mam Chand did not record the name and address of those persons and voluntarily stated that in his presence, PW-7 ASI Mam Chand was conducting enquiries from public persons.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand left the spot at about 12:15 AM and returned at about 1:15 AM.The SHO reached the spot after the rukka was prepared and sent.In his presence, the SHO had recorded the statement of one public witness, namely PW-2 Himanshu, who had reached the spot.He stated that he did not know the mode of transport used by PW-2 Himanshu and voluntarily stated that he had seen him coming on foot.The site plan was prepared by the SHO in his presence and he had signed the site plan.PW-9 Ct.Ram Avtar had accompanied PW-7 ASI Mam Chand, who deposed that on the intervening night of 14-15.01.2013, he was on Crl.After receiving DD 51-A, he had proceeded with PW-7 ASI Mam Chand to the spot.Blood was lying there and no eyewitness was found.PW-15 HC Rattan Lal and Ct.Vineet had also reached the spot.They were left at the scene of incident, while PW-9 and PW-7 ASI Mam Chand went to the Trauma Centre, AIIMS.One injured person named Gupta was found in the hospital and he had been declared dead.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand collected the MLC; no eyewitness was present in the hospital.They returned to the spot.Again, no eyewitness was found.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand had given him the rukka at 2:25 AM on 15.01.2013, which was taken by him to the police station where FIR was registered.PW-9 brought the copy of FIR and rukka back to the spot.PW-22 Ins.Abhey Singh was also present there and he took over the investigation.During cross- examination, PW-9 stated that they had learnt from a public person that the victim had been taken by PCR vehicle to Trauma Centre AIIMS.He further stated that he did not know the particulars of the public person.They stayed at the Trauma Centre from about an hour and had reached there about 12:30 AM or so.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 21 of 42The investigation in the matter was undertaken by PW-22 Ins.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand, PW-15 HC Rattan Lal, Ct.Vineet and PW-9 Ram Avtar were present at the place and PW-7 was in the process of preparing his rukka.He informed the entire sequence of events and sent his rukka through PW-9 Ram Avtar, on which the FIR 17/2013 (Ex.PW-10/A) was registered.PW-22 further deposed Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 22 of 42 that he had prepared the site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) at the instance of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand.PW-22 was thoroughly cross-examined, wherein he stated that on 15.01.2013 at 1:15 AM, he had received the information of the incident.He returned at 5 AM after conducting the proceedings.The distance between the place of occurrence and the dhaba of the deceased is about 25-30 steps.When he had prepared the site plan PW-1 and PW-2 were not present at the spot and immediately said that only one witness PW-2 Himanshu came at the spot.He voluntarily stated that PW-1 was involved afterwards in the investigation.PW-2 Himanshu had come to the spot after the exhibits were collected and had come at about 3 AM.The site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) was not prepared in the presence of PW-2 Himanshu; again said that the final site plan was prepared in the presence of PW-2 Himanshu.The site plan was signed by PW-2 Himanshu and PW-7 ASI Mam Chand.The site plan was prepared on the pointing out of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand.No specific location was indicated separately by PW-2 Himanshu.The exact location of point A and B in the site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) were described to PW- 22 by PW-7 ASI Mam Chand and voluntarily stated that the same was also confirmed by PW-2 Himanshu.He further stated that he went for the search of the accused at different places.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 23 of 42 person was accompanying him.He did not visit the house of the accused in the course of the search.Coming back to the story unfolding from ocular evidence on record.The deceased was stabbed on two occasions between point A and B when appellant Rahul and Asif (JCL) tried to immobilize the deceased and appellant Raj Kumar gave stab blows.As per Ex.PW-1 Sharwan had called the Police Control Room; which was inturn relayed to Kite 55 PCR Van under the charge of PW-20 ASI Rameshwar.The PCR Van rushed to the spot, where someone had informed PW-20 of the name of the deceased.Indubitably, the information sent by Kite 55 at about 1 AM states that ""ghar wale saath hain"" (relatives are along) and the same remains in clear contradiction with the ocular account, however it cannot shake the otherwise consistent ocular account supported by medical evidence.PW-20 has stated that no relative or friend of the injured was present.The deceased was received at the Trauma Centre by the PW-13 duty officer.The PCR Van reached the Trauma Centre sometime after midnight and declared by the doctor to be brought dead.The MLC (Ex.PW-6/A) was prepared wherein the particulars of the deceased are given, though in the column of relative name, the name of Rameshwar, i.e. PW-20, is written.This is once again in tune with the testimony of PW-20 that he, as Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 26 of 42 the in-charge of Kite 55, had taken the deceased to the Trauma Centre.The information was also relayed by the control room to the police station, where DD 51-A was recorded and allotted to PW-7 ASI Mam Chand.Accordingly, PW-7 along with PW-9 reached the spot where they were joined by PW-15 HC Rattan Lal and Ct.There was no eyewitness there.Upon coming to know that the injured had been removed to the Trauma Centre, PW-7 proceeded with PW-9 Ct.Ram Avtar to the Trauma Centre, AIIMS at about 12:15 AM.The deceased was found and he was declared dead by the doctor.Again, no eyewitness was found.They returned to the spot at about 1:15 AM and investigation ensued.Abhey Singh have deposed that on 17.01.2013, during the course of investigation of another FIR 18/2013, Asif (JCL) had pointed to the appellants herein as his accomplices and thereafter, pursuant to his disclosure statements (Ex.PW-15/A and Ex.The appellant Raj Kumar @ Lala was also convicted under Section 27 of Arms Act, 1959 and was sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of three years with a fine of Rs.10,000/- and in default of payment of fine, to further undergo simple imprisonment for a period of six months.Both the sentences awarded to the appellant Raj Kumar @ Lala were ordered to run concurrently.Himanshu run [sic: ran] to save his brother and found that accused Rahul @ Bhuri and Asif have caught hold of Rohit and Raj Kumar @ Lala attacked Rohit on his thigh with a knife a number of times.When Himanshu cried for help, accused Raj Kumar @ lala and Rahul @ Bhuri alongwith Asif (juvenile in-conflict with law) ran away.Someone called 100 number.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 3 of 42 Asif (juvenile) have killed his brother in pursuance of a conspiracy.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 2 of 42The knife was seized and kept in a pullanda.The place of incident was identified by both the accused persons.""After completion of the investigation chargesheet was filed against both the appellants.Charge under Section 302 read with Section 34 of IPC was framed against both the appellants.A charge under Section 27 of Arms Act was also framed against the appellant Raj Kumar.To bring home the guilt of the appellants, prosecution examined 23 witnesses in all.The statement of the appellant Rahul was recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C wherein he pleaded innocence and stated that he was picked up from his home and falsely implicated in the present case.In his statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C., the appellant Raj Kumar stated that on 15.01.2013, he had gone to Karkardooma Court Complex to attend the proceedings of his case; his father was forced to call him to the Police Station and Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 4 of 42 after attending the case at Karkardooma Court, he went to the Police Station where he was falsely implicated.The appellants examined three witnesses in their defence.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 4 of 42The Trial Court found that the testimonies of PW-2 Himanshu and PW-1 Sharwan Kumar coupled with the medical evidence if properly appreciated, without taking into consideration the defects in the investigation, it could safely be concluded that the accused/appellants had committed the murder of the deceased and convicted the appellants as noticed in paragraph 2 aforegoing.Mr. Jitender Sethi, learned counsel appearing for the appellant Rahul submits that the judgment of the Trial Court is based on surmises and conjectures.The Trial Court has failed to take into consideration that PW-2 Himanshu was in fact not an eyewitness as he was not present at the time of the crime, which is evident from the fact that PW-2 did not accompany his injured brother from the place of the incident to the hospital.Moreover, his name does not find mentioned in the MLC prepared by the doctor and further from the testimony of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand, it has emerged that there was no eyewitness at the spot.Elaborating his arguments further, Mr. Sethi contends that the statement of PW-2 Himanshu who is real brother of the deceased cannot be believed as having been present at the place of the incident he would have tried to save his brother or at least made a call to police officials or his own family members.It is, thus, contended that the testimony of PW-2 is unreliable and cannot be trusted.Reliance is placed on the judgments in the cases of State (Govt. Of NCT of Delhi) v. Naresh & Anr, 2012 (2) JCC 830 (paragraph 8) and Balraj Singh v. The State of Punjab, 1976 Crl.LJ 1471 (P&H) (paragraphs 13 and 20).A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 5 of 42Relying on the testimony of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand, it is further contended that this witness has deposed that he received a call at 11:50 PM on the intervening night of 14-15.01.2013 and thereafter he came at the spot and found no eyewitness either at the spot or in the hospital.Reliance was placed on the rukka to show even at that stage no person was named and PW-2 appeared only around 03:00 AM.i.e. after three and half hours of the incident.Mr. Sethi contends that a phone call was made to the Police by PW-1 Sharwan Kumar from his mobile phone No.9716078703 who is running a flower shop near the place of the incident.This witness has also testified that he had informed Himanshu (brother of the deceased) about the incident.PW-1 also deposed that Himanshu arrived at the spot within 5-7 minutes of the telephone call.It is also contended that had Himanshu been at the spot there was no occasion for PW-1 Sharwan Kumar to inform PW-2 Himanshu.The attention of this Court has been drawn to the PCR form, wherein the name of Himanshu also does not find mention though it is stated that at 01:00 AM family members were present at the hospital but how the deceased was stabbed was not known.This is in direct contravention to the testimony of PW-2 that after the incident he went home to get his family members while according to the PCR form, his family members were already present at 01:00 AM at the hospital.Mr. Sethi, learned counsel for the appellant Rahul further goes on to submit that PW-2 Himanshu being an eyewitness, the site plan should have been prepared at his instance while the testimony of PW-22 Insp.Abhay Singh would show that the site plan was prepared by him at the instance of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand.It is Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 6 of 42 strenuously argued before us that PW-2 has been introduced as an eyewitness which is evinced by a careful examination of serial number of witnesses at the site plan, which would show that initially PW-2 was not shown as a witness, but as a mere cover up his name was added by renumbering the witnesses.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 6 of 42Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that on a careful examination of the site plan placed on record would show that there were three places where the incident took place; firstly, where the deceased was stabbed; secondly, where the deceased was stabbed again; and thirdly, where the deceased dropped while no such description was given by PW-2, who claims to be an eyewitness, which casts a serious doubt with regard to his presence.by the Investigating Officer and sent to the Doctor with a request to conduct post-mortem does not show the name of either PW-2 Himanshu as an eyewitness or the name of the appellants.No question was put for recording of the statement at the hospital or at the place of the incident.Sheikh Israr Ahmed, learned counsel appearing for the appellant Raj Kumar, additionally contended that the testimony of PW-2 would show that he knew all the accused persons and appellant Raj Kumar resides at a distance of 250-300 meters from the place of Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 8 of 42 incident and 30 meters from the dhaba of PW-2 Himanshu and deceased and in case, PW-2 would have disclosed the names of the appellants, then his house would have been raided, but no such raid had taken place.The deceased and his brother were known to the appellant Raj Kumar as they had been tenants for two years in the house of appellant Raj Kumar and they would have raided the house of appellant Raj Kumar within hours of the incident which was not done.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 8 of 42The incident took place in the heat of moment, when the deceased had refused to serve food to the appellants claiming that the dhaba had been closed.It is also contended that the appellant Raj Kumar stabbed the deceased not on a vital part of the body but only on the thigh.If there was an intention to kill the deceased, he would have attacked one of the vital parts of the body and not only on the thighs.The post-mortem report and the opinion of the doctor does not state that any blow which was inflicted on the deceased could have resulted in his death.Learned counsel submits that much should not be read into where the statement of PW-2 was recorded as PW-2 in his testimony has stated that after the incident, he went to the Hospital from where he went to the place of the incident and was then taken to the Police Station and in such a situation, his answer could have been misunderstood and in any case no prejudice would have been caused to the appellants herein.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 9 of 42A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 12 of 42We have heard the learned counsel for the parties, considered their rival submissions and given thoughtful consideration to the matter.The prime prosecution witness remains the brother of the deceased PW-2 Himanshu.(v) The factum that PW-1 had to call PW-2 and inform about the incident proves the absence of PW-2;A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 13 of 42(vi) The name of PW-2 is absent in the PCR Form, though it is mentioned that the family members were present though how the deceased was stabbed was unknown;Since numerous contentions have been raised regarding the evidence and the inconsistencies in the sequence of events, we proceed to analyse the testimonies of the police witnesses.PW-18 L/Ct.The information was passed on to the network/PCR van/Police Station at 23:35:15 hours.PCR Form Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 17 of 42 (Ex.PW-18/A) also reads ""ek admi ko chaku mar diya hai"" (one person has been stabbed with a knife).Thereafter, PW-7 prepared the rukka on the above information and handed it over to PW-9 Ct.Ram Avtar at 02:25 AM on 15.01.2013 with a direction to take it to the police station for getting FIR registered.PW-22 SHO Abhey Singh Yadav had also arrived at the spot.Ram Avtar had returned with copy of FIR and the original tehrir.During the proceedings at the spot, PW-2 Himanshu (brother of the deceased) had also joined.SHO recorded his statement and thereafter, efforts were made to trace the assailants, but no one could be found on the day.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 20 of 42PW-9 had returned with a copy of FIR and handed over the same to him/SHO with the original tehrir.Then the witness tried to trace the assailants.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 22 of 42When he reached, PW-7 ASI Mam Chand was writing the rukka.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 23 of 42We may also notice the medical evidence, which corroborates the ocular testimony on record.Both the MLC (Ex.PW-6/A) and the postmortem report (Ex.PW-17/A) show two stab wound on the inner aspect of the right thigh of the deceased.Though at first blush, the contentions of the learned counsel for appellants seem persuasive, however, on a careful analysis of the ocular evidence of the aforegoing witnesses, we find that a complete sequence of the chain of events is established.On the fateful night intervening 14-15.01.2013, the deceased and PW-2 Himanshu were in the process of closing down their dhaba, when three

+ who started abusing and grappling.The PW-2 Himanshu intervened and saved his elder brother.Then they closed the shop and started walking towards their home.PW-2 Himanshu was 22-25 paces ahead of the deceased when the accused returned and stabbed the deceased.The appellant Rahul and Asif (JCL) tried to hold the deceased, while the appellant Raj Kumar gave two stab blows on his thighs.The shrieks of his brother drew the attention of PW-2, however, the accused were able to flee.The deceased was extensively bleeding and fell infront of shop of PW-1 Sharwan.This was witnessed by PW-1 Sharwan," who called the Police Control Room (PCR) at 23:33:23 (Ex.PW-18/A) from his Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 24 of 42 mobile number 9716078703 and informed that """"ek admi ko chaku mar diya hai"""" (one person has been stabbed with a knife).A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 24 of 42We stop here to note as to which place the appellant was actually stabbed.PW-2 Himanshu had specifically stated in his cross-examination that his brother """"had moved in the direction of our [their] shop and had come near the shop of Sharwan."""" Similarly"," PW-1 Sharwan deposed that he saw the deceased """"to have come and fallen"""" infront of his shop.PW-7 ASI Mam Chand", PW-15 ASI Rattan Lal and PW-22 Ins.Abhey Singh had consistently testified that the site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) was prepared by PW-22 at the instance/pointing out of PW-7 ASI Mam Chand, who had pointed based on the blood and the chappal.PW-2 Himanshu had come at about 3 AM, when the site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) was being prepared and had confirmed the points.His name was, accordingly, added and probably because there was no space to add the name of a witness at the bottom of the page, the name of PW-2 Himanshu was added at serial number 1 after renumbering the witnesses.The same can, by no means, lead to the conclusion that the document was tampered as the same remains in consonance with the ocular testimony.We have also gone through the photographs (Ex.PW-5/1 to Ex.PW-5/15) placed on record and particularly Ex.PW-5/10, Ex.PW-5/11, Ex.PW-5/14 and Ex.PW-5/15, which clearly show the Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 25 of 42 presence of blood at points A and B infront of shop Om Sai Service in the background in consonance with the site plan (Ex.PW-7/C) and the scaled site plan (Ex.PW- 3/A, the distance between points A and B is 730 cms (about 24 ft) and from B to C, where the deceased finally collapsed infront of shop of PW-1 Sharwan is 2490 cms (about 82 ft).We proceed to the events after the stabbing.Rukka was prepared and sent through PW-9 Ct.Ram Avtar at about 2:25 AM for the registration of FIR.In the meantime, PW-22 Ins.Abhey Singh arrived at the spot and took over the investigation.At about 3 AM, PW-2 Himanshu came to the spot on foot and his statement was recorded.In this sequence of events, there was no question of the name of the eyewitness, i.e. PW-2 Himanshu, or of the assailants being present in the rukka or the PCR Form.The question then is where was PW- 2 Himanshu after witnessing the murder of his brother? The answer is found in the testimony of PW-2 only.He had deposed that when he had heard the cry for help of his brother, he had turned around to witness the stabbing of the deceased.He started shouting and rushed to his brother, however, the assailants ran away.He tried to lift his brother.He became extremely perturbed and went into a state of trance.PW-2 Himanshu waited till the PCR Van (Kite 55) Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 27 of 42 took his brother.His perplexed state did not allow him to approach the police.Both PW-1 Sharwan and PW-7 ASI Mam Chand have confirmed that they found PW-2 in a highly perturbed state.We find no reason to disbelieve the same as it is not unusual for one to get disturbed after witnessing the death of his own brother first hand.After the PCR van left, PW-2 took a lift on motorcycle from a passerby till the corner, from where he had taken an auto rickshaw.He reached the Trauma Centre and was informed by the doctor about the death of his brother.A coordinate bench of this Court was faced with a similar situation in Noor Mohd. v. State NCT of Delhi, 2012 Cri LJ 28: 2011 SCC OnLine Del 3604 wherein the appellant had alleged that the brother of the deceased, an alleged eyewitness, was unreliable as the MLC was silent about the name of the injured and recorded that the police had brought the body.The same was rejected by the Bench while observing as under:A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 27 of 42It is urged by learned counsel for Dalip that PW-3 could not be believed because there was no corroborative material in support of his assertion about having accompanied his brother to the hospital.Reliance was placed upon the MLC (Ex. PW-15/A), which is silent about the name of the injured; besides it recorded that the police had taken the body.Learned counsel argued that if indeed Rahisuddin had witnessed the incident and had either accompanied the PCR or had gone with it, there was no reason for the hospital authorities to exclude the mention of his name. ... ...Often the relatives who accompany the injured Crl.It might well have been that when he was admitted, PW-3 had not reached or having reached," was searching for the place where his brother had been taken.""""A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 28 of 42(Emphasis Supplied)The details in the MLC", infact, show that PW-2 had approached the doctor, though he missed the police officials.The knowledge of the death of his brother, further worsened the mental condition of PW-2, who came out from the Trauma Centre and lost senses for 1 and a half hours.Since PW-2 had already left the Trauma Centre, there was no question of him being found by the police officials (PW-15 or PW-9).It was only when he regained his senses did he return home and came back with his family.Now, there is a contradiction as to the place where the statement of PW-2 was recorded, but considering the state of PW-2 Himanshu, not much can be made from such a minor contradiction.Similarly, we do not find that the inconsistency of PW-2 and PW-1 regarding the phone call and the possession of mobile phone by PW-2 Himanshu is sufficient to discredit their testimonies in toto, which otherwise are reliable and consistent.Such inter-se discrepancies are normal and can be attributed to errors of observation and lapses of memory [See Asha v. State of Rajasthan, 1997 SCC (Cri) 712 (paragraph 9); Leela Crl.A. 1702/2014 & 158/2015 Page 29 of 42 Ram (Supra) (paragraphs 9,10, 12 and 13); and Sukhdev Yadav (Supra) (paragraphs 1 to 3)].This erupted into a sudden fight, which was pacified by PW-2 Himanshu.Thereafter, the deceased and PW- 2 closed their dhaba and within a couple of minutes, the appellants and Asif (JCL) returned and appellant Raj Kumar stabbed the deceased while the other two held him.There was no cooling off period and the tempers continued to run high [See Jite (Supra) (paragraphs 38-43) and Arjun v.

+"His first wife was one Mrs.Sharmila.They had no issue.3.P.W.1 was not at his house at that time.He was on duty.He received a message that both the children (D.1 & D.2) were lying dead in the water tank.He found the dead bodies of the children (D.1 & D.2).The Post mortem Doctor has opined that both the children (D.1 & D.2) were died not due to drowning but due to smothering.6.When the investigation was in progress, it is stated that the accused appeared before P.W.13, the then Village Administrative Officer on 14.02.2010 around 8.00 am and made a voluntary confession.It is stated that she told that she had the feeling that the children born to her and her husband would be affected in future, if, the deceased were alive.Because of the said motive, according to her confession, she killed both the children (D.1 & D.2) by smothering and threw the dead bodies into water tank.(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.NAGAMUTHU, J.) The appellant is the sole accused in S.C.No.44/2011 on the file of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Namakkal.She stood charged for offences under Sections 302 (2 counts) & 201 I.P.C. By judgment dated 30.01.2012, the trial Court convicted the accused under both the charges and sentenced her to undergo imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.500/- for each count in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one month, for offence under section 302 I.P.C., and to undergo rigorous imprisonment for five years and to pay a fine of Rs.250/- in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months for the offence under Section 201 I.P.C. Challenging the said conviction and sentence, the appellant is before this Court with this Criminal Appeal.2.The case of the prosecution, in brief, is as follows:-P.W.1  Mr.Nehru is a resident of Namakkal.He was a Driver working in a Transport Corporation.They had taken one Shakthivel in adoption (hereinafter referred to as D.1).After some time, Mrs.sharmila passed away.Therefore, he married one Ms.Rasia as his second wife.Through his second wife, he had a daughter by name Shalini (hereinafter referred to as D.2).After 25 days of the birth of Shalini, Mrs.Rasia died.Thereafter, with a view to bring up both the children viz., adopted son Sakthivel & Shalini, P.W.1 married the accused.Out of the said wedlock, there are two children born to them.Thus, all the four children were in the care and custody of P.W.1 and the accused.It is alleged that on 14.02.2010, around 5.00 am, the accused killed both the children (D.1 & D.2) by smothering them by pushing a pillow against their faces and killed them.Thereafter, she threw the dead bodies into a water tank to make it as though, the children died due to drowning.The accused did not disclose anything about the occurrence.P.24 is the complaint and Ex.P.25 is the F.I.R. Then both the documents were sent to the Court.5.The Investigation was taken up by P.W.16, the then Inspector of Police.He went to the place of occurrence, conducted inquest on the body of both the deceased and forwarded the same to Doctor for post mortem.P.W.13, reduced the said extra judicial confession in writing and then he took the accused to P.W.16 and produced her.P.W.16 arrested the accused and forwarded her to Court for judicial remand.On completing investigation, he laid charge sheet against the accused.7.P.W.6 - Dr.Parameswari, conducted autopsy on the body of Sakthivel (D.1) and found the following injuries:-External Examination No visible external injuries.White frothy fluids comes out from the nose.Eye lids closed.Mouth & lips closed Tongue: inside the oral cavity.P.7 is the post mortem certificate.She opined that D.1 would have died due to smothering and not because of drowning.8.P.W.7 - Dr.Mohan, conducted autopsy on the body of Shalini (D.2) and found the following injuries:-Could not make out.Frothing in the both the nostrils.Internal examination: Opening skull no fracture of skull bone.Brain: Pale.Thorax: No fractured Ribs.Lungs: Odematus, Pale Heart: Partly filled with blood.Hyoid Bone  sternum preserved for the Forensic Analysis. Ex.P.12 is the post mortem certificate.He opined that D.2 would have died due to smothering and not because of drowning.9.Based on the above materials, the trial Court framed charges as stated in the first paragraph of this judgment.The accused denied the same.Material Objects were marked.10.Out of the said witnesses, P.W.1, the father of the deceased (D.1 & D.2) and the husband of the accused has turned hostile and he has not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner.P.W.2, the neighbour has stated that he heard about the death of the children (D.1 & D.2), he came to the place of occurrence and found the dead bodies.P.W.3 is yet another neighbour of the deceased.He has also stated about the same facts.P.W.4 is yet another neighbour has turned hostile and he has not supported the case of the prosecution in any manner.P.W.5 has spoken about the preparation of observation mahazar, rough sketch and the recovery of material objects at the place of occurrence.P.W.6 has spoken about the post mortem conducted on D.1 and her final opinion regarding the cause of death.P.W.7 has spoken about the post mortem conducted on D.2 and his final opinion regarding the cause of death.P.W.8 is yet another neighbour.However, she has also not spoken anything incriminating against the accused.P.W.9, a Constable has stated that he handed over the dead bodies to Doctors for post mortem.P.W.10 has also spoken about the same facts.P.W.12, the Head Clerk of the Magistrate Court has stated that he sent the material objects for chemical analysis as per the order passed by the learned Magistrate.11.P.W.13, the then village Administrative Officer has spoken about the extra judicial confession made by the accused, recorded by him.P.W.14 has spoken about the registration of the case.P.W.15 has spoken about the investigation done and the final report filed in this case.12.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C., she denied the same as false.However, she did not choose to examine any witness nor did she mark any document on her side.Her defence was a total denial.13.Having considered all the above materials, the trial Court convicted the appellant/accused as stated in the first paragraph of this judgment.14.We have heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the State and we have also perused the records carefully.15.As we have already stated, there is no denial of the fact that both the deceased (D.1 & D.2) were living with P.W.1 and the accused.It is also in evidence that the children were lying dead in the water tank.The medical evidence would clearly go to establish that the death of the deceased (D.1 & D.2) were not due to drowning but due to smothering.Thus, the prosecution has established that the death of the deceased (D.1 & D.2) were due to homicidal violence.But, the learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the evidence of P.W.13 cannot be believed for more than one reason.He would point out the evidence of P.W.3, the neighbour of the deceased that when the Police arrived at the place of occurrence on 14.02.2010 at 9.00 am, the accused was very much available and she was interrogated by the Police and the accused told them that the children were accidentally jumped into the water and died.P.W.8, yet another neighbour has also stated that when the Police came to the place of occurrence, the accused remained there and faced the enquiry.She did not abscond.She was thus, very much in the custody of the Police on 14.02.2010 around 9.00 am.When that be so, it is highly unbelievable that on 14.02.2010 at 8.00 am, the accused had gone to P.W.13, the then Village Administrative Officer and made the extra judicial confession.We find force in the said argument.17.Above all, it is highly unbelievable that the accused would have chosen the then Village Administrative Officer, who is a total stranger to make the voluntary confession.For these reasons, we find it difficult to act solely based upon the said extra judicial confession made by the accused.Further, as per the settled law, since, an extra judicial confession is a very weak piece of evidence, unless, the same inspires the fullest confidence of the Court and there are evidences from other sources to corroborate the said extra judicial confession, it is not safe to rely on the doubtful extra judicial confession and to convict the maker of the confession.Since, there is no corroboration from any other independent source, on material particulars, then, we cannot convict the accused solely based on the said extra judicial confession.Thus, the appellant/accused is entitled for acquittal.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code',

A-2 stated that he knew A-3 because on a few occasions he had come to Gurudwara Sheesh Ganj and being a sewadar, one room had been allotted to him.Once or twice A- 3 had called him to confirm about the availability of the room in the Gurudwara.He had nothing to do with the intercepted calls.25. A-3 stated that he had no knowledge of the interception of the mobile phone conversations.He stated that he did not even know A1 before his arrest in this case.He claimed that he had been falsely implicated and nothing had been recovered from him - neither any contraband nor pistol nor mobile phone.He claimed that even in FIR No. 77/2007 he had been falsely arrested.He claimed that he never had any conversation with A-1 or A-2 regarding heroine and that the intercepted calls did not pertain to him.He claimed that DVDs and CDs did not contain any calls made by him.He claimed that his signatures were taken on many blank and written documents forcibly and that the police officials used to beat him if he refused to sign.He claimed that the voice or conversation which he had heard in Court did not pertain to him and that ""though the said voice sounds similar to my voice, the CDs and the DVDs have been tampered.""The first witness for the defence was Dr. Anand Kumar (DW-1), Medical Officer attached with CJ-4 dispensary at Tihar Jail.A-2 had complained that Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 13 of 57 he had been beaten by the police.On examination ""pattern bruises were found present over the left side of the back and he was prescribed medication for the pain."" Apart from the suggestions to him that the document wrongly recorded that bruises were found and that A-2 had been seen by Dr. Rakesh, who prepared the report, nothing much was elicited in the cross-examination of this witness by the learned APP.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 13 of 57He was standing with A-2 and other sewadar Gurlal at the STD booth situated near the entrance of Gurudwara at around 2:30 pm on 23 rd March 2007 when a person of medium height and slightly dark complexioned told A-2 ""sahib bula rahe hain."" A-2 addressed the said person as Mr. Sharma and asked him what happened but the said person merely repeated the statement made earlier. A-2 then told Gurlal that his bike was parked in front of the museum opposite Gurudwara and that he should bring the bike inside the Gurudwara premises and park it.The next day when he came to the Gurudwara, Gurlal told him that he had handed over the keys of the motorbike to the brother and father of A-2, who had come to the Gurudwara after coming to know of his arrest.It was found that A-2 had been taken away by the police and his bike was also taken away by the police after breaking its lock.Director, CFSL, Chandigarh (DW-3).DW-3 clarified that although in reply to the RTI application of A-1 (Ex. DW-3/B), it had been stated that no official from the CFSL, Chandigarh had attended the trial Court, he stated that he had appeared in the trial Court on 12th January 2009 to record the voice sample.He also brought an attested copy of the office movement register showing his movement from Chandigarh to Delhi (Ex. DW-3/E).The 4th defence witness was Mr. Deepak DW-4), the Nodal Officer who brought the summoned record (Ex. DW-4/A and 4/B respectively).It was not functional thereafter.DW-4 also brought the records pertaining to mobile No.9873836607 (Ex. PW-4/C) which showed that the phone was functional till 23rd March 2007 in the Delhi circle.The last call in the said phone received was at about 19:38:08 hours.Thereafter, it was not in network in Delhi circle.As per the cell chart ID, the location of the mobile at that time was Nangla Rai at Delhi Cantt., and at about 18:00:50 one outgoing call was made from the same cell tower.At about 18:07:10, an incoming call was received from the same tower.At about 18:18:15, an outgoing call was made from the same mobile tower.Another outgoing call was made at about 19:06:18 from the tower at Lajpat Nagar, Part-II.(i) Although A-2 had contended that his motorcycle had been forcibly taken by the police from the parking lot after breaking open the lock, in an application filed by him before the learned Special Judge on 7th June 2007 (Mark R-1), he took a very different stand.He stated that at around 6-6:30 pm, when he was standing with his friend near the STD booth near the Gurudwara, SI Ramesh Sharma had come there and asked him to accompany him to his Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 17 of 57 office for some inquiry; that A-2 followed the SI on his own motorcycle and that only after he and the vehicle of SI passed the Lal Qila red light, SI Ramesh Sharma asked him to leave his bike and accompany in his vehicle since he had received a message that a senior officer was leaving and would return only after 9:00 pm and SI Sharma did not want A-2 to spoil his whole night.(iii) The intercepted mobile conversations proved on record by the prosecution totally corroborated the version put forth by the prosecution with respect to the manner of apprehending the accused persons.The intercepted mobile conversations proved that A-1 and A-2 were known to each other, much before 23rd March 2007 and were together involved in some business.Even on 23rd March 2007, A-1 and A-2 were in continuous touch with each other till 7:30 pm.The mobile conversations were played in Court and the transcripts were also filed in the judicial record.It showed that at around 4:45 pm, A-1 called up A-2 and both of them decided to meet near a tea vendors shop.The learned trial Court also adverted to the further Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 18 of 57 conversation that took place between the two at 5:13 pm, 7:05 pm and 7:35 pm.At around 7:35 pm in the conversation between A-1 and A-2, A-1 informed A-2 that he was able to reach the designated spot by taking a lift and told A-2 that he was standing near a banana vendor.Two minutes thereafter, A-2 made a call to a person, whom he addressed as Raju stating that the said person Raju should be able to spot him and tried to tell him where A-1 was standing.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 18 of 57(iv) The intercepted mobile conversations were of unimpeachable quality and could not be doubted merely because they were produced belatedly.The prosecution was able to satisfactorily explain the delay.The depositions of PW-s 1, 17 and 30 revealed that the four mobile phone Nos. 9876933745, 9317534945, 9811328172 and 9817060613 were under the surveillance of the Special Cell, much before the apprehension of A-1 and A-2 and the conversations that took place on the said mobile phones were automatically saved in the server of the Special Cell.The call related information was automatically recorded at the time the calls were made and thereafter transferred to the server of the Special Cell using a software application.The allegation that the signatures of A-1 on various documents was forged was false as the evidence of the handwriting expert did not conclusively prove that the signatures of A-1 were forged.Right from the supply to them of the chargesheet and documents, they were taking the plea that no contraband had been recovered them.The percentage of diacetylmorphine in the four samples, i.e., S-1, S-3, S-5 and S-7 showed that these were of commercial quantity.An attempt had been made to remove number 3 (from 31.6%) and 41 (from 41.2%) which was noticed by the learned trial Court.The deposition of PW-14 put to rest any doubt as to the discrepancy that resulted as a consequence of such tampering.(x) Even in the absence of the public witnesses, the prosecution has been able to prove recovery of 4 kg.While PW-1 deposed that A-1 had approached the spot from the Laxmi Nagar side, PW-4 deposed that he approached from the Seelampur side; PW-10 stated that he approached from Patparganj side and PW-16 stated that he approached from Seelampur side.It is pointed out that the site plan is not prepared and the identification by PW-16 is different from the site plan filed by the IO (PW-17).(ii) PW-1 deposed that there was a goal chakkar at the place of arrest, whereas the site plan did not show any such goal chakkar.In fact, it was a red light crossing.(iii) Even as regards the time of arrest, there were inconsistencies.The journey on the motorcycle from Sarai Kale Khan to the place of arrest takes at least 20-30 minutes in peak hours.The prosecution story that A-1 was at goal chakkar on 23rd March 2007 was, therefore, false and fabricated.The Nodal Officer (PW-29) confirmed that the said mobile number was at Laxmi Nagar Chowk at 7:30 pm, which was 2 kms.There was no explanation as to why the said mobile conversations were not part of the original charge sheet.The alleged information that A-3 was using from the mobile No.9876933745 for contacting KLF was not part of the original charge sheet.There was no evidence to show that any of the mobile phones pertained to A-3 or how the phones were intercepted.The technology used in the system was capable of being manipulated.The procedure for interception was full of loopholes and Section 65B of the Evidence Act has not been complied with.The report of Dr. Rajender Singh (PW-28) regarding matching of the voice samples of A-3 on the taped conversations with the sample voice was doubtful and has not been proved in accordance with law.Mr. Jain submitted that the prosecution had failed to prove that A-3, at any time, either subscribed to or owned mobile Nos. 9876933745 and 9317534945 and, therefore, he could not have been convicted under Section 20 NDPS Act. The tampering of the CDs containing the taped conversations cannot be ruled out.At around 6.10 pm information was received by PW-16 that A- 1 and A-2 would come near Pandav Nagar Mother Diary around 7.30 pm for supply of smack to one Negro and the said information was passed on ACP Ravi Shankar who instructed PW-16 to conduct a raid.In any event since the secret information was not in respect of the contraband being in some house, the provision of Section 42 NDPS Act was not attracted.As regards the occurrence at Pandav Nagar, Mother Diary, Mr. Katyal pointed out that although notices were in fact issued under Section 50 NDPS Act to each of accused, i.e., A-1 and A-2 separately, both of them had destroyed the copies of the notices served upon them.In any event, contraband was recovered from the polythene bag of A-1 and from bag of A-2 and thus the contraband was not present on their person.The contraband was sealed with the seal of HS and handed over to PW-16 along with FSL forms and PW-16 left the spot at around 10.20 pm.It was taken to PS Lodhi Colony at about 11.15 pm and handed over to SHO Paras Nath (PW-13) who affixed his seal of PNS on all the parcels and FSL forms and deposited the same in the malkhana.Turing to the facts in the present case, there is a whole chain of events that has taken prior to the interception orders of the mobile phones.The interception orders were in respect of the mobile phones (Ex.PW20/A, Ex.PW20/B, Ex.PW26/A, Ex.PW26/B and Ex.PW26/C).PW-1 stated that after the after the bomb blasts that took place in 2005 at Liberty and Satyam Cinemas the mobile phones of the suspects were kept under surveillance.PW-1 had been deputed to listen to those conversations.He learnt that A-3 was in constant touch with Daya Singh Loharia, a Member of KLF.There was a specific instruction from senior officers that the surveillance of the mobile phones had to be kept secret.PW-17 explained that after hearing the conversations of all the calls, he copied all of them in DVD and CDs (Ex.P-29, P-36 and P-38).The computer system installed in the Special Cell was under the supervision and control of PW- 30 and the password of the same remained with him.It was stated that during the relevant period there was no problem in the operation of the computer system while recoding the calls nor was there any break down.58. PW-17 clarified that it was PW-1 who downloaded and handed over the transcripts to him for observation.He had opened the file in the office computer giving it the name of Upender.He spoke of the preparation of the transcripts of all mobile phone calls.As far as A-1 Jagdeo Singh and A-2 Gurdeep Singh are concerned the case of the prosecution has to be considered de hors the electronic evidence produced i.e., the CDRs of the mobile phones stated to have been used by each of them.The specific case of the prosecution is that at around 7.30 pm on 23 rd March 2007 both the accused came near the public toilet Patparganj Road at Ganesh Nagar Crossing.According to the prosecution, the motorcycle was driven by Gurdeep Singh (A-2) who was carrying a black colour bag on his shoulder.Jagdeo Singh (A-1) was the pillion rider.A-2 took out a polythene bag from the black colour bag that he was carrying and handed it over to A-1. A-2 remained near the motorcycle and A-1 stood at the Ganesh Nagar Crossing.At that point of time, both were apprehended."" This is purely a surmise since the burden was entirely on the prosecution to show that the signatures on the seizure memo, recovery memo and the inspection memo etc., were in fact only of A-1 and no one else.On his part A-1 has probablised his defence that those signatures were not his.The evidence of CW-1 is more than sufficient to probablise that defence.Evidence of torture of A-1 and A-2The plea of A-2 is that he was picked up from Gurudwara Sheesh Ganj forcibly and his motorcycle was also picked up from the parking area.He examined Pargat Singh (DW-2) to prove this plea.He also has alleged as being tortured by the police while in custody.In respect of that plea he examined Dr. Anand Kumar (DW-1).The relevant pages of the said register has been brought by me today and are Ex.DW1/B"".He produced the medical record of A-1 (Ex. DW5/A).He deposed that ""As per the said medical record, the accused Jagdeo was first examined on his admission to jail on 4 th April 2007 and had complained that he had been beaten by police on 2 nd April 2007 and that he had pain over his whole back.On examination, pattern bruises were found present over the whole back, left arm upper and lower, left thigh, and the legs and he was prescribed medication for the pain"".(emphasis supplied)The aforementioned sentences were directed to run concurrently with the sentences already imposed upon A-1 in FIR No.164 of 2007 at Police Station (PS) Sidhwabet.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 2 of 57Case of the prosecutionAdditionally, A-1 was charged with having been found in possession of one pistol along with eight live cartridges and thereby committing an offence under Section 25 of the Arms Act. All the accused pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 6 of 57The prosecution examined twenty nine witnesses.When the evidence was put to the three accused under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (Cr PC), each of them denied it and claimed to have been falsely implicated.In Laxmi Nagar under the railway bridge Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 7 of 57 the vehicle was stopped.The police officials then tried to shift him to a private Wagon R in which A-2 and PW-17 were already sitting.When A- 1 raised hue and cry a lot of people gathered at the spot and questioned the police as to why they were taking A-1 away.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 7 of 5715. A-1 denied having been apprised of any legal right under Section 50 of the NDPS Act. He was beaten by the police officials who forced him to write on the notice.He denied that any contraband or pistol was recovered from him.He also claimed not to know A-3 prior to his arrest in the present case.In respect to the transcript of the intercepted calls, A-1 denied having been part of this conversation or having made the conversation shown in that transcript.He stated that it was correct that on 2nd January 2009 he had agreed to give his voice sample but he had specifically requested that he should be taken to CFSL Chandigarh since he was apprehensive that in Delhi the police officials would manipulate his voice samples.Although the trial Court had permitted this but A-1 was not taken to CFSL Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 8 of 57 Chandigarh.On 12th January 2009 he refused to give the voice sample in Court apprehending that it would not be taken properly and would be manipulated.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 8 of 57When asked if he wished to say anything else, A-1 stated that he had been falsely implicated in the case.He stated that he has been in judicial custody from 2001 to 15th August 2006 since more than 21 cases has been registered against him in various police station and that he has been acquitted in most of them.In six cases he has been convicted and in two cases he has filed appeals which are pending in the High Court.A-1 alleged that consequently PW-1 had been responsible for A-1 being falsely implicated in the present case.He denied that the conversations recorded on the CDs and DVD between him and the other co-accused persons were in his voice.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 9 of 57He denied the intercepted calls.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 11 of 57As regards voice samples, A-2 stated that he did agree on 2nd January 2009 to give his voice sample but requested that he should be taken to CFSL, Chandigarh for that purpose.However, they were not taken there.On 12 th January 2009, he had refused to give the voice sample in the Court as he was apprehensive that it would be manipulated.An additional statement was recorded of A-2 on 11th July 2013 when he denied all the intercepted calls.Statement of A-3 under Section 313 Cr PCIn his statement, A-3 stated that he used to go and meet Daya Singh Lahoria while he was lodged in Nabha jail as he was a good friend of his.He stated that he used the mobile No.9876933745 but thereafter stated that he had never used the said mobile phone and that he was not dealing in fake currency notes, drugs, arms and ammunition.He stated that he did not know A-1 but knew A-2 who was a sewadar in Gurdwara Sheesh Ganj, New Delhi.He had got in touch with A-2 when he had come to Delhi for pairvi of cases of Daya Singh Lahoria in the Supreme Court and in Jaipur courts.He claimed that no mobile phone was recovered from his Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 12 of 57 possession.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 12 of 57Gurlal had since left the services of the Gurudwara and was presently residing in Punjab.In his cross-examination, DW-2 stated that neither he nor Gurlal made any complaint to the police about the motorcycle of A-2 being taken by some police officials.He also did not complain to the police after coming Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 14 of 57 to know from his father and brother that A-2 had been picked up by the police.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 14 of 57The third defence witness was Mr. S.K. Jain, Dy.At about 17:58:44 an outgoing call was made from that mobile for 61 Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 15 of 57 seconds.At around 19:32:15 an outgoing call for 29 seconds was made from the same cell tower at Sarai Kale Khan.At about 19:32:47 an incoming call was received for 16 seconds from the cell ID tower of Bhairon Marg, Pragati Maidan.The mobile phone was used with IMEI No.354540018396220 for all the aforementioned calls.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 15 of 57An attested copy of the first medical examination of A-1 was (DW-5/A) was brought on record.A-1 had complained that he was beaten by the police on 2nd April 2007 and had pain over his whole back.On examination, pattern bruises were found present over the whole back, left arm upper and lower left thigh and the legs.A-1 was prescribed medication for the pain.He was unable to speculate how A-1 could have received the injuries.Head Constable Sanjeev (DW-6) attached to PS Special Cell, Lodhi Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 16 of 57 Colony was examined next.He brought the malkhana register No.19 for the year 2007 and the daily diary register for the same year.He pointed out that the register with respect to the duty roster of the year 2007 had been destroyed within a period of two years.He stated that there was no entry as to PW-17 (Inspector Upendra Solanki) receiving any case property from malkhana.He further stated that PW-17 had made the said entry at NR Rohini where he was then posted.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 16 of 57The trial Court judgmentBy the impugned judgment dated 21st December 2013, the learned trial Court found the three Appellants to be guilty of the offences under Section 21(c) and 29 of the NDPS Act, Section 489(c) and 129-B IPC and Section 25 of the Arms Act. By the order on sentence dated 30th January 2014, the learned trial Court sentenced the A-1, A-2 and A-3 in the manner indicated hereinbefore.Therefore, A-2 sat in the vehicle with SI Sharma and his bike was driven by a police official.Since this application was filed three months after his arrest, the answers given under Section 313 Cr PC was false.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 17 of 57Three minutes thereafter, A-2 again called Raju and while talking, he screams, telling him to run away.Consequently, both A-1 and A-2 had taken a false defence before this Court.As per the deposition of PW-17, after listening the calls in the DVD, he copied them in the CDs (Exs. P-29, 36 and 38).Thus, the conditions laid down under Section 65-B of the Evidence Criminal Appeal Nos. 52",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 19 of 57 Act had been complied with.Since there was no manual intervention, it could not have been tampered with.When the CDs were played in Court, i.e., before the arrest of the accused.(vi) The contention of the accused was that the mobile transcripts showed that A-1 and A-2 were having conversation around 7:45 pm was contrary to the stand of the prosecution that they were arrested at around 7:30 pm.The members of the raiding party deposed that Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014," 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 20 of 57 the time of apprehension of accused persons """"was about 7:30 pm."""" and this did not mean exactly 7:30 pm.Further", the cell tower catches the frequency of a mobile phone if the location of the said mobile is within 1-2 km range.Therefore, there was no discrepancy if the cell tower at Pragati Maidan was able to catch the frequency of mobile phone used by A-1 when he was near Ganesh Nagar.The said spot was within 2 km. of Pragati Maidan.The evidence of Dr. Rajender Singh (PW-28), who was the head of the Foreign Voice Identification Unit, CFSL proved that the questioned voice of A-3 in the taped conversations tallied with his specimen voice.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 20 of 57(vii) Dr. S.K. Jain, Dy.(DW-3) had come to the Court on 12th January 2009 to record the voice sample of A-1 and A-2 but they had refused.An adverse inference, therefore, was drawn against them.They did not take the plea that no mobile phone had been recovered from them, although the recovery memos were duly supplied to them with the chargesheet.(viii) Since the recoveries in the present case had not been effected from the persons of the accused, but from the bags carried by them, hence Section 50 NDPS Act was not applicable.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 21 of 57(ix) Dr. Madhulika Sharma (PW-14), the FSL expert, explained that the colour of the samples which were received for analysis, which were of cream colour, could change to brown colour due to moisturization.PW-14 was not examined on this aspect.After A-1 and A-2 were apprehended, A-3 spoke about the arrest to at least three persons from his mobile.After the arrest of A-1 and A-2, the conspiracy in question had come to an end and, therefore, the statements made by A-3 thereafter could not be read against his co- conspirators under Section 10 of the Evidence Act, but they could be read against A-3 himself under Section 8 of the Evidence Act.Consequently, all the three accused were held guilty for the offences with which they were charged and sentenced in the manner indicated Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 22 of 57 hereinbefore.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 22 of 57Submissions of counsel for the AppellantsOn behalf of A-1, Mr. Rana made the following submissions:(i) The prosecution story regarding the arrest of A-1 was totally false.While PW-4 stated that A-1 is arrested at 7:30 pm on 23rd March 2009, the CDR and the call locations contradict the whole story.The CDR and the call locations filed by the prosecution for mobile nos. 9811328172 and 9873836607 allegedly recovered from A-1 shows that the said mobile was at Sarai Kale Khan at 7:32 pm and at Bhairon Marg on 7:32:47 pm, which is approximately 6-7 kms.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 23 of 57from the place of arrest shown by the prosecution.from the place of arrest and 8-10 kms.from Sarai Kale Khan.(v) Although the place of arrest was a busy public place with many markets, shops etc. being there, PW-17 did not bother to involve any public witness.(vi) The signature of A-1 on the different memos and notice under Section 50 NDPS Act were forged by the IO.Reliance has been placed on the decisions in Vijaysinh Chandubha Jadeja v. State of Gujarat (2011) 1 SCC 609, Rakesh @ Shanker v. State (decision dated 8th January 2014 in Crl.PW-17 uploaded the said transcripts in his computer on 24th January 2008, i.e. after 2 months and 22 days.The voice samples along with the said CD and DVD made from the said copies were sent to CFSL on 6th October 2008, i.e., 8 months after taking the sample, but it had not been verified by the FSL Lab as to whether the CD was an original one or a fake one.(ix) The recoveries were planted on the accused.There was discrepancy in the depositions of PWs 13 and 16 as to whether the case property was deposited in the Malkhana or MHMC Malkhana was called to the office handed over the properties recovered.(x) PW-17 stated that he had opened the sealed pulanda on 4th April 2007 without permission of the Court, and then took out Rs. 27,0, while keeping Rs. 1,740 there.A question arose as to how Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 25 of 57 he knew that Rs. 27,000 were fake currency, whereas Rs. 1,740 were genuine.Moreover, Ms. Deepa Sharma (PW-12), the FSL expert deposed that she received Rs. 27,000 in loose condition.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 25 of 57(xi) The linking evidence regarding chain of events of the source from which the contraband was produced and its final destination was not proved.(xiii) As per judicial as well as other records, the time of arrest of A-1 on 23rd March 2007, was 7:30 pm the CDR for mobile number 9873836607 showed that A-1 was still making calls to A-2 at around 19:41:07 pm to 19:41:35 pm (call No.8629).Further, DW-4 deposed that at around 19:32:47 pm he was in Bhairon Marg and not Ganesh Nagar.If, as per DW-4, the said mobile remained switched off w.e.f. 12:03 noon on 15th March 2007, there was no need to obtain any sanction for interception of such call.The circumstance in which A-3 was arrested was also doubtful.He was arrested on 26th July 2008 while he had already been arrested Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 26 of 57 in FIR No. 77/07 with the same Special Cell.This happened after the report of the handwriting expert was received by the learned trial Court on 5th May 2008, which showed that the signature of A-1 on various documents were forged whereupon the prosecution panicked and to do damage control, made A-3 an accused in the cases.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 26 of 57He had complained against ASI Ombir Singh, who was then dismissed from service after a departmental inquiry.Apart from reiterating many of the above submissions, Mr. Gautam, learned counsel for A-2 pointed out inconsistencies in the prosecution witnesses as to the time and place of arrest and the steps taken thereafter.It was pointed out that the mobile phone remained with the IO for a long time.Therefore, his statement could not be said to be voluntary.Mr. Gautam submitted that inasmuch as the case property was taken to the office and not deposited at the nearest PS, an adverse inference ought Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 27 of 57 to be drawn against the police.There was no evidence to prove that A-2 was a member of the KZF.The mobile phone seized from A-2, i.e., 9821060613 was not in his name.It was not shown to him either.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 27 of 57Mr. Anurag Jain, learned counsel appearing for A-3, submitted that he was falsely implicated in this case.The mobile conversations which allegedly took place between the accused persons were false, and concocted.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 28 of 573 were missing.There was no evidence to show that A-3 had entered into a criminal conspiracy with the other accused to deal in trafficking of fake currency, arms and ammunition and heroine.He further stated that he handed over the parcels to MHC (M) HC Mahavir Singh (PW-5) who affirmed the same.As regards the deposit of parcels and FSL forms, PW-Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 29 of 578 stated that four samples sealed with the seal of HS and PNS along with FSL forms were handed over to PW-11 by a road certificate.PW-11 affirmed the same and stated that he deposited the samples with FSL Rohini.PW-14 affirmed that she received the four sealed parcels along with FSL form and specimen seal impression as HS and PNC for chemical examination.According to Mr. Katyal, the site plan (PW-17/A) when read in consonance with the evidence of the witnesses shows that there was no discrepancy as regards the place of apprehension at the spot.The reports under Section 57 NDPS Act (Ex.PW-6/C) & Ex.PW-6/E) having the receiving of office of ACP, Special Cell, NR were also proved by Ex.PW6/D and F.As regards the mobile phones used by A-2, Mr. Katyal pointed out that from the CDR of Mobile No. 9871060613 it was apparent that it was being used on both the mobile phones i.e., Nokia 2300 (IMEI 355361003085245) having a SIM of Airtel and Nokia 8310 (IMEI 350700106948921) having SIM of Hutch.The mobile Phone No. 9999579926 was admittedly in the name of A-2 himself that was used on Nokia 8310 as evidenced from the CDR.As regards A-1, the mobile instrument is Motorola 5960 (IMEI 358612004213070) with the SIM of Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 30 of 57 Hutch.The second phone was recovered from A-1 was Nokia 1110 with IMEI 354540018396 as 6223) with the SIM of Hutch.On these mobile instruments the mobile numbers of 9888979849 and 9811328172 were used.The third was Sony Eriksson with the IMEI 354244013209750 having a SIM of Hutch.Till placing on record the intercepted conversations, A-2 took the stand that the mobiles were not recovered from them.The intercepted conversations showed that A-1 and A-2 knew each other very well and were involved in some clandestine activity.Neither the CDRs nor the voice interceptions could be manipulated with the mobile phone.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 30 of 57As regards the beatings given to A-1 and A-2, Mr. Katyal pointed out that during police custody of A-1 and A-2, they were produced before doctors for their medical check-up and in none of the reports there was any complaint made regarding the alleged beatings.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 31 of 57It was pointed out that the retraction statements of A-2 showed that when he was produced before the Court, he did not complain of any torture.The plea that they were kept standing outside the Court of the learned MM, when remand was sought, was not substantiated.Inspector Preetam Singh (PW-24), SHO, PS Sidhwa Bet confirmed that A-3 had been arrested in FIR No. 164 of 2007 and mobile phones and other materials had been recovered from him.Mr. Katyal took the Court through the various interception orders.The intercepted calls were copied on DVD/CD and were seized by seizure memo.He Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 32 of 57 submitted that the trial Court had extensively dealt with the evidence on record and had rightly convicted them in the manner indicated hereinabove Electronic evidence and Section 65-B of the Evidence ActCriminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 32 of 57Among the critical pieces of evidence the intercepted conversations on the mobile phones allegedly used by the three accused and the call detail records (CDRs) of those phones.PW-1 revealed some facts to PW-16 by keeping his operation to be secret.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 34 of 57PW-1 stated that he was given permission only on 2nd April 2008 to hand over the intercepted phone conversations transcriptions in a pen drive to SI Upender Solanki (PW-17).The conversations between the accused persons were intercepted and provided to the office of the Special Cell.They were translated into Hindi.Since A-3 knew only Gurumukhi, the calls pertaining to him were translated.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 35 of 57When the DVD prepared by PW-17 (Ex.P-26) for reference was produced, defence counsel objected to it in view of Section 65B EA.They also objected to marking of CD (Ex.PW-29) containing the questioned conversation with the specimen voice sample taken of A-3 during investigation.The transcripts of those conversations were also exhibited as Ex.P30 to Ex.Likewise," the CD containing the selected calls of each of the other accused were tendered in evidence.They too were objected to by the defence counsel.Those conversations were nevertheless played in Court and transcripts thereof also produced.In his cross-examination PW-17 stated as under:""""The original device on which the intercepted call records pertaining to this case was not sent for examination to the FSL.I was only given the pen drive in which the said intercepted call details were copied by SI Harbir Singh.I did not see from where these call details were copied.PW-17 further stated as under:Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014", 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 36 of 57An application was filed by the prosecution before the trial Court under Section 311 Cr PC.In the further examination-in-chief," PW-17 stated as under:""""After SI Harbir Singh handed over the said pen drive to me at about 7 pm and I copied the data from the same in the hard disk of the computer system that I was using at that time.Since the calls ran into thousands", it took me almost three months to hear all the calls and thereafter, I copied all the calls in DVD Ex.P26 and the relevant calls in the CDs Ex.P29, P36, and P38 (the CDs and the DVD will be heard by this Court during the final arguments).I had returned the pen drive to SI Harbir Singh on 2 nd April 2008 itself and after copying the data in the computer system.I had copied the data in a file which could only be accessed by using the password which was known to me only.Nobody could have accessed to file made by me without my knowledge.During the three months period, no fault occurred in the computer system in which the relevant file was stored and neither was the said file corrupted in any manner.I state that the calls recorded in the CDs and the DVDs Ex.I have no personal knowledge whether Harbir Singh could have tampered or manipulated the data in the pen drive.I did not Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014," 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 37 of 57 at any time hear the original intercepted calls.I did not seize the hard disk of the original computer system from which the intercepted calls were copied.""""I did not have access to any such record.A separate folder was prepared.In effect what was happening in the process was that electronic data was copied from one device to a pen drive.When he was examined in detail it became apparent that what was being spoken of was the making of further copies of those copies.The original remained on a server which none of the other persons had occasion to access.No such person was examined in the present case.It has also come in the evidence of PW-17 himself that """"I did not at any time make an enquiry whether the original computer monitoring system which was recording the intercepted call had a breakdown or not.""""Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014", 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 41 of 57The other piece of electronic evidence is the intercepted mobile conversations.PW-28 Dr. Rajinder Singh, the CFSL expert," who analysed the voice samples stated in his cross-examination: """"The intercepting machine was not sent to us and the questioned sample was sent in a cassette."""" As far as Inspector Sandip Malhotra (PW-30) is concerned"," his evidence is to the effect that he was the administrative head of the system which was used for monitoring the calls.The password of the said system remained with him.He opened the system using the password and in his presence PW-1 copied the relevant calls."""" In his cross-examination by counsel for A-1"," he stated """"I was throughout present with SI Harbir Singh when he copied the data from the monitoring system.It took about 8-9 hours to copy the data.It further declared:Case against A-3As far as the case of A-3 Sukhwinder Singh @ Sukhi (the Appellant in Crl.A. No. 607 of 2014) is concerned", the entire case of the prosecution against him is based on electronic records.It may be recalled that Sukhwinder was already arrested in some other case when the investigation of the present case was underway.Initially, the FIR did not include the name of Sukhwinder.Therefore, as far as A-3, Sukhwinder @ Sukhi is concerned, the entire electronic records have to be kept out of consideration.There is no dispute that as far as A-3 is concerned, there is absolutely no other evidence to connect him to the two accused, i.e., A-1 and A-2 and to bring home the charges framed against him after the filing of the supplementary chargesheet.In the view of the matter, the impugned judgment of the trial Court convicting A-3, Sukhwinder @ Sukhi for the offences with which he was charged with cannot be sustained.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 45 of 57Case against A-1 and A-2The members of the raiding team who were present at the spot and have deposed in this behalf are SI Harbir Singh (PW-1), SI Ramvir (PW-4), HC Ajay Kumar (PW-10) and Inspector Anil Dureja (PW-16) who was heading the raiding team.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 46 of 57The case of the prosecution is that from the polythene bag carried by A-1, two packets of 1 kg each of heroin was seized.Also from the personal search of A-1, PW-1 recovered one pistol, 1 magazine and 18 live cartridges.From the back bag carried by A-2, two packets of 1 kg each of heroin were recovered.Thereafter, PW-17 conducted personal search of both the accused, wherein he recovered from A-1, Rs. 28,740 consisting of 27 currency notes of Rs. 1,000 denomination and from A-2 Rs. 2,025 consisting of two currency notes of Rs. 1,000 denomination.The third set of recoveries were made from the personal search of both the accused.A perusal of the trial Court judgment shows that extensive reliance has been placed on the intercepted telephone conversations which were produced by the police with the supplementary chargesheet.The trial Court reproduced the intercepted conversations in paras 43 and 44 and also relied upon the evidence gathered from the intercepted conversations which were recorded in the CDs in paras 46 toOn the aspect of arrest of A-1 and A-2, the genesis of the case assumes significance.Compliance with Section 42 NDPS is thrown into doubt on account of the fact that in the supplementary charge sheet the Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 47 of 57 prosecution has come up with the theory that the information regarding the possible handing over of narcotics by A-1 and A-2 to a Nigerian was chanced upon while tapping the mobile conversations.This is very different from the secret informer giving that information to Anil Dureja.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 47 of 57Compliance with Section 50 and the evidence of the handwriting expertCriminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 48 of 57Para 54 of the trial Court judgment deals with evidence of the handwriting expert Mr. T. Joshi of CFSL, Chandigarh examined as CW-1. A-1's specimen writings and signatures were collected and sent to CW-1 for examination.As such, it is not been possible to link the authorship of the mark Q-1 to Q-11 with the standard writing S-1 to S-4," AS-1 and AS-2.""""CW-1 further categorical stated """"I could not link the authorship of questioned writing Mark Q-1 to Q-11 with the standard writing Mark S-1 to S-4"," AS-1 and AS-2"""".In his further cross-examination he stated that """"the writing features that were observed in the questioned writings were not observed in the standard writing as we consider the strokes", curvatures, alignment and other parameters were different in the questioned and standard writings but one of the parameter, i.e.," pressure could not studied from the questioned signature and meaning thereby the writing features of questioned documents and standard writing could not be linked."""" When asked to elaborate what was the parameter which was lacking"," he clarified """"The parameter was the greater pressure in the Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014"," 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 49 of 57 questioned writing not in the standard writing and the same cannot be asked from the agency.""""It was for the prosecution to explain under what circumstances different signatures", other than those of A-1, appeared on those documents.The trial Court took exception to both A-1 and A-2 tearing up the notices under Section 50 NDPS Act that were served on them.In this context, the plea of the accused that they were subject to torture while in custody assumes significance.On the aspect of torture of both A-1 and A-2 while in custody, the trial Court failed to appreciate the evidence in that regard.It merely called for a report and directed the Police Commissioner to hold an enquiry to determine who the erring police officials were and thereafter to take necessary action against them.The trial Court overlooked the fact that normally the accused is unable to produce any direct evidence to make the good the plea that he was tortured in the police custody.In this case however apart from taking the plea in his statement under Section 313 Cr PC that he was tortured in the police custody he also produced a defence witness Dr. Anand Kumar," Medical Officer in Tihar Jail (DW-1).DW-1 produced the medical record of A-2 (Ex.He categorically stated """"on examination", pattern Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 51 of 57 bruises were found present over the left of the back and he was prescribed medication for the pain.As per the in and out register record," this accused was examined by then medical officer Dr. Rakesh.He was not shaken in his cross-examination.He further clarified """"The first medical examination of an accused admitted in jail is conducted immediately on the entering of the accused in the jail premises and he is not allowed to go inside the jail premises without the said examination and therefore the injuries mentioned on the first examination record of an accused cannot ever be received by him inside the jail.""""Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014", 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 51 of 57Nothing significant was elicited by the APP in the cross-examination of DW-1 and DW-5 to discredit their testimony.The Court concludes that both A-1 and A-2 have probablised their version that they were subjected to torture in police custody.Consequently, their so-called confessional statements could hardly be taken to be voluntary.The defence evidence ought not to have been overlooked while assessing the Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 52 of 57 story of the prosecution about both A-1 and A-2 being apprehended from the spot i.e., outside the public toilet near Patparganj.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 52 of 57Contradictions in evidence of PWs as to the place of arrestIn para 56 of the trial Court judgment, the various contradictions pointed out in the statements of the prosecution witnesses have been dismissed by holding that it has no major significance which goes to the root of the matter.These inconsistencies pertain to certain important aspects regarding the place from where both the accused A-1 and A-2 were apprehended.According to the prosecution both the accused were intercepted when they were outside the public toilet near Ganesh Nagar crossing.This implied that they had come from the Laxmi Nagar side.However, none of the witnesses had spoken in one voice on this aspect.It has been pointed out that Anil Dureja (PW-16) in his cross-examination stated that the deployment of the police personnel was near the Mother Dairy on both sides.He did not remember what the distance was between the Ganesh Nagar chowk and the Mother Dairy.The distance between the Laxmi Nagar bridge and the Mother Dairy is stated to be 150 meters.The distance between the toilet at Ganesh Nagar and the Mother Dairy is almost 50 meters.If the police personnel were deployed within 10-15 meters on Mother Dairy then it is clear that they were not at the spot where the two accused were.PW-10 on the other hand stated that he had taken the position near the 'roundabout' near Mother Dairy.There was in fact no roundabout within 50 meters from the bridge.Even PW-1 talks about taking position near the crossing of the gol chakkar after getting Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 53 of 57 down from the over bridge.There is no gol chakkar at that spot.The site plan filed by the prosecution does not show any gol chakkar.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 53 of 57The further contradictions are that while PW-1 stated that both the accused came to the place from the Laxmi Nagar side, PW-4 stated that they came from the Shakarpur side.Even if both Shakarpur and Laxmi Nagar bridge are on the same side, this is contradicted by PW-10 who states that they approached the place from the Patparganj side which is opposite to the Laxmi Nagar side.It is also clear that with respect to the recovery of three things from the personal search of the accused i.e. fake currency notes, the mobile phones and the pistol and live cartridges, the seizure and recovery memos had to be proved beyond reasonable doubt by the prosecution.With the signatures of A-1 on the said documents not being proved beyond reasonable doubt the prosecution has been unable to establish whether the seizures took place in the manner indicated.There is another aspect of the recoveries which has completely been missed by the trial Court.PW-16 has stated that he deposited the recoveries in the malkhana, whereas, PW-13 stated that he called the MHC(M) HC Mahavir Singh and handed over the articles to him.PW-17 states that he took out Rs.27,000/- from the sealed pullandas and kept back Rs.1740 there.In his cross examination," PW-17 states that """"It is correct that fact that the sealed envelope which was opened to take out the notes was preserved was not mentioned Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014", 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 54 of 57 in my records.I do not remember whether the envelop used by me for keeping the balance of Rs 1740 was the same envelope in which the original amount of Rs 28740 was kept.It is correct that no description of the seal which was affixed on the said envelop has been mentioned in Ex. PW4/A. Even on 4 th April 2007," I had not verified the contents of the case property but had only opened the pullandas of jamatalashi.I do not remember whether I had even broken the seal on the envelope containing the currency notes or I had managed to take out the notes without breaking the said seals.I do not remember whether I had resealed the envelope.I do not know how the remaining currency notes were kept.It is incorrect to suggest that no counterfeit currency was recovered from the accused"""".Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014", 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 54 of 57109. PW-17 fails to explain how he knew that Rs.27,000 which he had taken from there were the fake currency notes and that the rest of the amount was of counterfeit.Ms. Deepa, Assistant Director FSL Rohini (PW-17) stated that she received the notes (29 notes of 1000 each, 27 recovered from A-1 and 2 from A-2) in loose condition.This is again a serious lapse on the part of the prosecution.While one mobile phone seized from A-3 was shown to belong to him, the prosecution failed to connect the mobile phones recovered from A-1 and A-2 with them.The relevant records show who the subscriber to the SIM was but not whose photo was on the customer application.Those subscribers were not examined as witnesses.It appears to the Court that the trial Court proceeded essentially on the basis of the intercepted conversations and the transcripts of those conversations and therefore overlooked the serious lacunae as far as the other evidence is concerned.Criminal Appeal Nos. 527 of 2014, 529 of 2014 & 607 of 2014 Page 55 of 57It is seen that the trial Court discarded the evidence of A-2 that the motorcycle was seized from the parking lot.It noted that in his bail application A-2 took a stand different from what he stated in his statement under Section 313 Cr PC.In his bail application, he claimed that up to the Lal Qila signal, he himself drove the motorcycle following SI Ramesh Sharma and thereafter he was forced to accompany them in a car.Finding these pleas to be to be contrary, the trial Court drew an adverse inference against him.The Court finds this approach of the trial Court to be an unsafe one to adopt in a criminal case where an accused has a fundamental right against self- incrimination.Apart from saying that it was perhaps thrown away by the accused, there appears to be no effort made to recover the key from near the place of interception.When viewed in the background of the totality of the prosecution case, this appears to be a significant lacuna.Each of the above aspects when considered separately may not be sufficient by themselves to create a doubt about the case of the prosecution, but when viewed in totality," the prosecution evidence cannot be said to inconsistent with the innocence of the accused and point unmistakably to their guilt.The records be returned to the trial Court forthwith.""",['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code'],Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"A perusal of the CD file shows that the Child Welfare Committee,Kanyakumari District, also after examining the detenu and the unwillingnessof the parents of the detenu to take the detenu back to their home, entrustedthe custody of the minor detenu with the fifth respondent, namely,R.Jeyarani, W/o.Ramu, who is the sister of the petitioner herein.The documents produced by the learned Additional Public Prosecutorshows that the detenu in her own handwriting wrote a letter stating that sheis not ready and willing to go with her parents and yet another statementgiven by the fifth respondent, namely, R.Jeyarani, W/o.Ramu, shows that sheis prepared to take care of the detenu at her home.Therefore, the ChildWelfare Committee keeping in mind the fact that the detenu is a minor, took adecision to send her back to her parental home.But, peculiarly andsurprisingly, the parents expressed their unwillingness to take the detenu totheir home for the reason that the fourth respondent has been frequentlygiving phone calls threatening them not to interfere with the life of thedetenu.Therefore, the detenu was sent along with the fifth respondent, whois the sister of the petitioner.It is seen that the registration of the case against the fourthrespondent has ultimately ended in granting anticipatory bail to him by theFast Track Mahila Court, Kanyakumari at Nagercoil.We are surprised to seethat how this is possible for the Mahila Court to grant anticipatory bail tothe fourth respondent, who is said to have kidnapped a minor girl.In view of the above stated facts and circumstances, since theparents are not willing to take back the detenue with them, we areconstrained to send the detenu, namely, Jesila, to Vidiyal Home, Muthupatti,Near Palanganatham, Madurai, till she attains the age of 18 years.Wedirect the Authorities of the Home not to permit the fourth and the fifthrespondent at any point of time, to see the detenu.With above directions, this Habeas Corpus Petition is closed.1.The Superintendent of Police, O/o.The Superintendent of Police, Kanyakumari District.5.The Superintendent, Vidial Home, Muthupatti, Near Palanganatham, Madurai..[Order of the Court was made by T.RAJA, J.] The petitioner, namely, K.Vijayarani, the mother of the detenu, namely,Jesila, has come to this Court seeking a Writ of Habeas Corpus, directing therespondents No.1 to 3 to produce the person or body of the Petitioner's minordaughter, namely, Jesila (17/17), D/o.Kannan @ Morris, before this Court andset her at liberty.2.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that thepetitioner, her husband and the detenu are residing peacefully.Takingadvantage of the fact that the petitioner's husband is a physicallychallenged person, who has lost his hands and one leg in an accident, thefourth respondent Mr.M.Neveen forcibly knocked the door of the petitioner'shouse at 11.30 p.m., on 10.09.2016 and opened the door and finally, kidnappedthe petitioner's minor daughter at knife point.The petitioner's husband,who is a physically challenged person was unable to stop the said illegalactivity made by the fourth respondent, who is already a married man andhaving two

reason that everyday, thefourth respondent, namely, M.Naveen is frequently visiting the fifthrespondent's house, wherein the detenu has been taking shelter and he hasbeen giving unnecessary phone calls to the parents of the detenu threateningthat if they further interfered with the life of the detenu, they would bedone away with.In view of the said statement, we posed a question to the parents ofthe detenu, since the detenu is minor as on today, her custody should betaken by them as legal guardian.The parents of the detenu jointly repliedstating that they are not in a position to take the custody of the detenuapprehending further complications for the reason that the police had nottaken any legal action against the fourth respondent when they reported tothe police station on receipt of threatening phone calls from the fourthrespondent.At this point of time, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor hasproduced the CD file.We are also giving liberty to the parents of the detenu to

ASI Jaipal Singh, Head Constable Jagdish Prasad and Constable Raj Rao were on duty in PCR van at Madhuban Chowk, Rohini.An informer told them about hearing cries of a woman from a park towards Deepali Chowk.Immediately, they went to the spot and found a man committing rape upon a lady while the other wearing kurta-pyjama had caught hold of her hands.Constable Raj Rao apprehended him when he attempted to escape.The person who was performing sex with the lady was apprehended by ASI Jaipal Singh.Daily Diary (DD) No.9A was recorded at Police Station, Rohini.SI Harjinder Rana went to the spot and took custody of the appellants.She recorded ASI Jaipal Singh's statement and lodged First Information Report.Prosecutrix 'G' (assumed name) and both the appellants were taken to Sh.Baba Sahib Ambedkar Hospital (in short 'BSA) for medical examination.Statements of the witnesses conversant with the facts were recorded.The exhibits were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory.Pursuant to the appellant's disclosure statements their involvement in case FIR No.338/2005 under Section 457/380 IPC at Police Station, Rohini surfaced and their correct names were ascertained Virender @ Lala and Kailash.The prosecutrix 'G' was admitted for treatment at IHBAS.After completion of investigation, a Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 2 of 18 charge-sheet was filed against the appellants.A.No.120/2011 Page 3 of 18 emerged in the testimonies of PCR officials as to where they were stationed; at what distance the spot of occurrence was and at which specific place the prosecutrix was found.There were residential houses nearby, but no independent public witness was associated.It is highly unbelievable that none of the residents would hear cries of the lady from the nearby park.The appellants have not challenged their presence and apprehension by PCR officials on the relevant date and time.They claimed that they had confrontation with the PCR officials and were falsely implicated when they did not accede to their demand to pay illegal gratification.A-2 had consumed liquor and it was detected during medical examination (Ex.PW4/B).A-2 in 313 statement admitted that they were drunk.They did not elaborate when and at which place, they had consumed liquor.DD No.9A (Ex.PW-15/K) recorded at 04.31 a.m. at Police Station Rohini reveals that two men have been apprehended with a lady in the park, near Deepali Chowk from where her cries were coming.The prosecutrix 'G' a hapless lady lived alone on the footpath.She was mentally retarded.Kuldeep Singh, recorded in the MLC (Ex.PW-4/A) that she was talking 'irrelevantly'.Considering her mental condition, she was sent to IHBAS for examination.On 28.07.2005, after considering report from IHBAS, she was admitted there for treatment.She was diagnosed having 'Unspecified Psychosis'.The Investigating Officer was not able to record her statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. She was taken to Dr.Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, Rohini at 07.20 a.m. on 24.07.2005 where her MLC (Ex.PW-4/A) was prepared.The MLC records that she was a victim of rape at about 03.45 P.M. that Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 5 of 18 day.He disclosed that at about 04.15 A.M. they got information from a vehicle owner that he had heard cries of a lady from a park at Deepali Chowk.When they reached in the park at A-3 Block, Sector-8, Rohini, they saw 'G' was lying naked on the ground and was crying.A boy wearing kurta-pyjama had caught hold of her hands and the other person was performing sex with her.The boy wearing kurta-pyjama attempted to escape but was caught hold by Constable Raj Rao.The man who was in naked condition was caught hold by him.Their names were ascertained Ravinder and Satyawan @ Sultan.He apprised the control room.Local police arrived at the spot.The occurrence took place at 4/4.15 A.M. First information Report was lodged promptly without any delay at 06.00 A.M. ASI Jaipal Singh attributed specific role to the each accused in his statement Ex.PW2/A given to the police at the earliest- soon after the incident.While appearing as PW-2, he (ASI Jaipal Singh) proved the said version without any variation and deposed that on 24.07.2005, he was posted at PCR, North-West Zone.On getting information from some vehicle owner Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 6 of 18 at about 04.00 a.m. about hearing cries of a lady in the park near Deepali Chowk, he informed PCR Commander for further direction to reach the spot.On reaching in the park at A-3 Block, Sector -8, Rohini, they saw a lady crying.Two persons were there, one of them had caught hold of her hands while the other was committing rape upon her.The lady was asked to put on her clothes.On inquiry from the victim, he came to know that she was not of stable mind.SI Harjinder Rana reached the spot with senior officers and recorded his statement (Ex.PW-2/A).In the cross- examination, he stated that the distance between Madhuban Chowk and Deepali Chowk was 2.5 kilometer.He fairly admitted inability to furnish description of the informer.He was not able to refer to the make of the car.They entered inside the park from the ring road side.There were trees in the park.SI Harjinder Rana reached the spot after half an hour.He stayed there uptill 08.30 A.M. He further admitted that he did not hand over any report regarding calls made to headquarters.There were lights in the park.Information to the local police was sent around 04.15 a.m. He denied that the accused going in the car, were stopped at Madhuban Chowk and money was demanded from them.The place of occurrence was residential area.He was not aware if the accused's car was parked near the place of incident or not.On scanning his deposition, Crl.He had no prior animosity with the accused to falsely implicate them in the incident.The investigation was carried out subsequently by local police at Rohini and PCR officials had no say to fabricate the evidence.He and his colleagues had reached the spot in the performance of their official duties and were able to apprehend the accused with the lady.No suggestion was put in the cross-examination that he was not on official duty that time.Thereafter, they rushed to the spot.They saw that a man was committing sex with a lady Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 8 of 18 and another person wearing kurta-pyjama had caught hold of her hands.The lady was crying.On seeing them, the person who had caught hold the lady's hands tried to run away.He immediately apprehended him and his name was ascertained Ravinder.The person committing rape was apprehended by ASI Jaipal Singh.He was not wearing any clothes at that time.He disclosed his name Satyawan.The prosecutrix was unable to furnish her details and it appeared that she was mentally retarded.ASI Jaipal directed her to wear her clothes.After 10-15 minutes, local police arrived and recorded their statements.In the cross-examination, he explained that the person who gave the information had come in a car at around 04.00 a.m. ASI Jaipal had not noted down the description of the person and the car.It had taken 7-8 minutes to reach the spot.They left the spot after 10-15 minutes on arrival of the Investigating Officer.He denied that the accused were implicated as they refused to pay bribe to them.He admitted that there were residential houses around the place of incident.Material facts regarding the incident remained unchallenged in the cross-examination of this witness.No suggestion was put to him that he with ASI Jaipal Singh had not gone to the park and prosecutrix 'G' was not recovered from there.It was not specifically put as to which of the Crl.They came back along with a lady and two persons.He identified both the appellants A-1 and A-2 brought by ASI Jaipal Singh and Constable Raj Rao.Message was given to the control room and police official of police station Rohini reached the spot.In the cross-examination, he stated that he remained at the spot for about ten minutes.He further stated that their statements are recorded by the Investigating Officer.Again nothing was suggested to PW-1 that ASI Jaipal Singh and Constable Raj Rao had not gone inside the park and had not returned with the prosecutrix and the appellants.She deposed that when she was sleeping on the road on footpath, two men took her to a park 'when morning was to commence'.One of them caught hold of her and the other did 'jabardasti' with her.She further elaborated that the said person opened his pants and removed her salwar and did 'galatkam' with her forcibly.Then PCR van came and the police officials got her released from those two men.She identified and re-cognized Kailash who committed rape upon her and Virender who had caught hold of her hands.The incident took place around 04.30 a.m. She could guess the time by 'seeing stars'.She elaborated that she was woken up by two persons present in the court and they dragged her.She did not shout as both of them did 'jabardasti' with her.PW-4/A).There is no conflict between the ocular and medical evidence.They did not furnish their correct particulars and gave incorrect names.Subsequently, it was found that their correct name were Virender and Kailash.Both had consumed liquor.They did not explain their presence in the park at odd hours with the prosecutrix.The appellants who had consumed liquor exploited innocence of a mentally retarded lady whose mental faculties were under developed and who lived alone on footpath.They took her to a nearby park to satisfy Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 16 of 18 their lust and committed rape upon her.Due to her metal conditions, she was not able to put resistance.A young lady leading a vagabond life was subjected to gang rape under the cover of her mental condition.The appellants Virender @ Lalla @ Bhura (A-1) and Kailash @ Satyawan @ Sultan @ Kala (A-2) challenge judgment dated 13.12.2010 in Sessions Case No.109/2009 arising out of FIR No.729/2005 registered at Police Station Rohini by which they were convicted for committing offences punishable under Section 376 (2) (g) IPC.By an order dated 04.01.2011, they were sentenced to undergo RI for ten years with fine of `5,000/- each.They were duly charged and brought to trial.The prosecution examined 15 witnesses to substantiate the charges.In their 313 statements, the appellants pleaded false implication.On appreciating the evidence and considering the rival contentions of the parties, the Trial Court, by the impugned judgment held both the appellants perpetrators of the crime and sentenced them.A.No.120/2011 Page 2 of 183. Learned counsel for the appellants urged that there was no legal evidence against the appellants to base conviction.The Trial Court did not appreciate the evidence in its true and proper perspective and fell into grave error in relying upon the testimonies of police witnesses with whom the appellants had an altercation on demand of bribe.Statement of the prosecutrix was not recorded during investigation.In her cross- examination, she categorically admitted that she was tutored by the Investigating Officer.Presence of ASI Jaipal Singh, Head Constable Jagdish Prasad and Constable Raj Rao at the spot is highly doubtful.No log book/register maintained in the vehicle was produced.The informer was not cited as a witness.The prosecution witnesses were unable to disclose the name of the informer and the vehicle in which he was travelling.The MLC and FSL reports do not establish appellants' involvement in the incident.Vital contradictions and inconsistencies have Crl.Test Identification Proceedings were not conducted.Learned Additional Public Prosecutor urged that the prosecutrix's statement has been corroborated by PCR officials and there are no good reasons to discard their statements.A.No.120/2011 Page 3 of 18I have considered the submissions of the parties and have examined the Trial Court record.They did not specify as to which of the police official Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 4 of 18 had demanded bribe from them.PCR officials came into motion when an unknown informer disclosed that he had heard cries of a woman in the park at Deepali Chowk.Both the appellants were apprehended from the park with the lady.There was no occasion for the PCR officials to have confrontation with the appellants at Madhuban Chowk.It lends credence to the prosecution version that she was found in the park and was a victim of sexual assault.A.No.120/2011 Page 4 of 18A.No.120/2011 Page 5 of 18The Investigating Officer lodged First Information Report on the statement of ASI Jaipal Singh (Ex.PW-2/A).The accused did not deny their apprehension with the lady from the park.PW-2 (ASI Jaipal)'s statement that rape was being committed upon the lady while the other had caught hold of her hands has remained uncontroverted and unchallenged in the cross-examination.A.No.120/2011 Page 6 of 18A.No.120/2011 Page 7 of 187. PW-8 (Constable Raj Rao), another police official posted in PCR van has corroborated PW-2's testimony in entirety.He also deposed that on 24.07.2005 he was posted in PCR vehicle stationed near Madhuban Chowk.At about 04.15 A.M. some vehicle owner informed ASI Jaipal that a lady was crying in a park, Sector-8, Rohini.ASI Jaipal Singh immediately sent a message to command room.A.No.120/2011 Page 9 of 18 PCR officials had demanded bribe and for what reason.PW-8 was not acquainted with the accused prior to the incident.A.No.120/2011 Page 8 of 18A.No.120/2011 Page 9 of 188. PW-1 (Head Constable Jagdish Prashad) has supplemented the statements of PW-2 and PW-8 on material facts.He also deposed that on 24.07.2005, he was on duty with ASI Jaipal Singh and Constable Raj Rao in PCR vehicle Commander 41 parked at Madhuban Chowk.On 04.00 A.M. the informer told them that he had heard cries of a woman from the side of Deepali Chowk park.He along with other staff went near the park at A-3 Block, Sector-8, Rohini.ASI Jaipal Singh and Raj Rao went inside the park.PW-1 had no ulterior motive to fabricate a false story.A.No.120/2011 Page 10 of 18A.No.120/2011 Page 10 of 18All the three police witnesses PW-1, 2 and 8 have corroborated each other on vital facts.They were not nurturing any grievance or ill-will with the appellants to falsely implicate them in the heinous offence.They were posted on duty in PCR van and on getting information about the commission of a serious offence, in the discharge of their official duties, they rushed to the spot and were able to apprehend the appellants and the lady with whom the sexual assault was committed.The Trial Judge put preliminary questions to her to ascertain if she was capable to give rational answers and was mentally fit to depose.She further deposed that she was taken to the hospital where she was examined.She identified her clothes (Ex.P-1) seized at the hospital.In the cross-examination she stated that the incident took place about three months back.She used to reside permanently on the road.She had no jhuggi or pucca residence.Nobody else resided with her on the road at that time.Five police officials were present in the police vehicle.She further stated that the police vehicle came when she was on the road.She admitted that she identified Kailash and Virender at the instance of the Investigating Officer.She further admitted Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 13 of 18 that she did not know the accused prior to the incident.They were shown to her by the Investigating Officer when she attended the court on earlier two dates.She further admitted that when the incident took place she was not mentally fit.She denied the suggestion that Kailash did not commit rape upon her and the accused Virender had not caught hold of her.She further denied that the statement was made falsely by her at the instance of Investigating Officer.Prosecutrix's statement, who was mentally retarded, is to be examined as a whole.The whole of the evidence in chief and cross examination has to be read together to find out the truth.Mere reading of a portion of the cross examination, ignoring the chief examination would be misleading.It is true that at some places in the cross-examination she has admitted that both the accused were shown to her by the Investigating Officer and she identified them at her instance.PW-7 is a poor hapless lady who was leading a vagabond life.She used to sleep on footpath.She belonged to the poor section of the society.She was illiterate and rustic witness.She was not expected to recapitulate all minute details of the incident correctly and exactly.However, she was categorical in her deposition before the Court that Kailash committed rape while Virender caught hold of her.In the cross-examination no suggestion was put to her that Kailash and Virender were not found in the Crl.A.No.120/2011 Page 14 of 18 park with her.Nothing was suggested that the prosecutrix was not subjected to sexually assault or that the police officials had not recovered her from the park with the accused.The case was investigated by the police officers of police station Rohini who were having no animosity with the accused.PW-7 'G' was also not acquainted with the accused to falsely identify them at the instance of the investigating officer.She attributed specific role to the each accused.She corroborated statements of PWs 2 and 8 on all material facts.Her testimony consistently matches with the version of every other witness.Minor deviation in the cross- examination on some aspects does not efface her entire deposition.In the decision reported as State of Himachal Pradesh V.Asha Ram AIR 2006 SC 381, Supreme Court highlighted the importance to be given to the testimony of the prosecutrix as under:-A.No.120/2011 Page 12 of 18A.No.120/2011 Page 13 of 18A.No.120/2011 Page 14 of 18""........It is now well-settled principle of law that conviction can be founded on the testimony of the prosecutrix alone unless there are compelling reasons for seeking corroboration.The evidence of a prosecutrix is more reliable than that of an injured witness.The testimony of the victim of sexual assault is vital unless there are compelling reasons which necessitate looking for corroboration of her statement, the Courts should find no difficulty in acting on the testimony

+"He has further submitted that on 3.10.2007 the mother of the deceased Sapna Goel along with other near relatives had given an application in writing to the ACP, Tilak Nagar, Delhi that the post mortem on the dead body of her daughter Sapna Goel be waived and the dead body be handed over to them for cremation.He further stated that it is mentioned in the application that deceased Sapna Goel was Crl.P. No. 13/2010 Page No. 1 of 4 happy in her matrimonial home and there was no complaint against the accused persons.So keeping in view the application moved by her mother and other relatives no case is made out against the accused persons.He has further submitted that Dr. L.C. Gupta who has conducted the post mortem is a tainted doctor and some enquiries were pending against him so no reliance can be placed on the report of the post mortem of the said doctor.This revision petition has been filed by the petitioners u/s 397/401 Cr.P.C. read with section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer that the order dated 30.9.2009 (Order on Charge) and 17.11.2009 (framing of Charge) whereby the learned trial Court has framed Charge against the petitioners under section 302/34 IPC may be set aside and quashed.He has further submitted that learned trial Court had wrongly framed Charge and the petitioners are liable to be discharged.P. No. 13/2010 Page No. 1 of 4On the other hand learned counsel for the State stated that there is sufficient material on record for framing of Charge against the petitioners and the learned trial Court has rightly framed Charge against all the accused persons on the basis of statement recorded by the police of the mother of the deceased and various other near relatives who have made serious allegations against all the petitioners having killed the deceased.I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.Although the mother of the deceased Sapna Goel had moved an application before ACP that the post mortem on the dead body of her daughter be waived but it was only because of the fact that she and other near relatives were present at the house of the accused persons and when the I.O S.I. Dharmpal arrived there the accused persons had told her mother and the other relatives and also the police officer that Sapna Goel was drying cloths on the roof of the house and due to giddiness she fell down from the roof and died.Thereafter at the instance of the accused persons an application was moved in writing to ACP, Tilak Nagar, Delhi, for waiving of post mortem of deceased.All the accused persons also moved a similar application to the police for Crl.P. No. 13/2010 Page No. 2 of 4 waiving of post mortem giving the same story in the application.S.I Dharmpal reached the spot when the accused persons were about to take the dead body of the deceased for cremation.S.I Dharampal reached the spot on the basis of a DD No. 21A dated 3.10.2009 wherein somebody had informed the police that a lady has died on account of hanging.On the receipt of this DD, SI Dharampal reached the spot but the S.I. refused to waive of the post mortem and thereafter post mortem was got conducted by Dr. L.C. Gupta on the following day at 4.10 p.m and Dr. L.C. Gupta has given his opinion regarding cause of death as under:-P. No. 13/2010 Page No. 2 of 4Dr. L.C. Gupta has given a clear finding in the post mortem report that all the injuries are ante mortem in nature and homicide cannot be ruled out.So from the findings of doctor in the post mortem report it is clear that this is a case of homicide and the injuries on the dead body are ante mortem in nature and possibility of homicide cannot be ruled out.The arguments of the learned counsel for the accused cannot be accepted that there are some allegations against doctor and some enquiry is pending.Post mortem report cannot be rejected merely on this ground.The mother of the deceased gave statement to the police leveling serious allegations against all the accused persons.Similarly statements of other witnesses have also been recorded by the police in which they Crl.P. No. 13/2010 Page No. 3 of 4 have leveled serious allegations against the accused persons.Police also recorded statement of one Tara Chand Gupta, the Nana of the deceased under section 161 Cr.P.C. He told to the police in his statement that on 2.10.2007 he had received a telephone call from Sapna Goel at about 11 p.m. wherein she wanted to meet him on the following day.He further submitted that he wanted to know the reasons from Sapna Goel but she told him that her Nanand namely Lata and her husband Sanjeev were present in the house so she will told everything on the day when they will meet and the telephone was dis-connected.The police also recorded statement of Priyansi, minor daughter of the deceased under section 161 Cr.P.C. who told the police that on the date of incident her Bua Lata and Sajeev were present in the house and her Bua had made her ready to go to the school when she asked Bua about the well being of her mother she told that she was sleeping as she was not well.Presence of petitioners Lata and Sanjeev has been confirmed by this witness Priyanshi.The police also took 42 photographs of the deceased at the time of the post mortem and these photographs also show the presence of injuries on her neck etc.P. No. 13/2010 Page No. 3 of 4After going through the statements of the witnesses and the post mortem report, I am satisfied that learned trial Court has rightly framed Charge against the petitioners under section 302/201/34 IPC.There is no merit in the revision petition8.

+"Briefly stated, case of the prosecution is that on the night intervening 11 th and 12th February 1989 PW-1 Laik Ram, who was security supervisor in Ishvaku India Pvt. Ltd., visited police post Prashant Vihar at around 3.00 AM and informed that on the fateful night at about 2.30 AM when he had gone to check his security staff at Plot No.4, Sector-9, Rohini he was informed by Villan Jamadar that one Surat Ram has been murdered in the jhuggies of Sain Baba Housing Society.On the basis of Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 2 of 21 said information, FIR No.31/1989 under Section 302 IPC was registered at Police Station Samepur Badli.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 2 of 21ASI Inder Singh also conveyed the information to the SHO and proceeded to the spot of occurrence.SHO Inspector Rati Ram also reached there, and found that the dead body of Surat Ram was lying on a cot in his Jhuggi.The cot as well as the mattress thereupon were stained with blood.Blood stained cot Ex.P-1 and mattress Ex.P-2 were converted into sealed packets and taken into possession.Investigating Officer lifted blood from the spot on a piece of cotton and sealed it in a phial and also took into possession the blood stained earth and the control earth from the spot.He found a green coloured printed saree Ex.P-3 smeared with blood at the roof of adjoining jhuggi which was also converted into a sealed packet and taken into possession.The Investigating Officer got the spot of occurrence photographed and also prepared a rough site plan.He also arranged for sending the dead body for post mortem.During investigation, statement of PW-2 Villan Jamadar was recorded wherein he named the appellants Munna Lal, Sohan Sahai and Asad Bai as the persons who had committed murder of Surat Ram.Dead body of the deceased was sent for post mortem.It is further the case of the prosecution that appellant Munna Lal was arrested on 14th February 1989 and on his disclosure and pointing out, blood stained knife/churri Ex.P-4 as also his blood stained kurta and lungi Ex.P-5 and P-6 were recovered, which were converted into sealed Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 3 of 21 packets, and taken into possession.Thereafter, on the same day appellant Sohan Sahai was arrested.He was wearing a blood stained shirt Ex.P-9 which was taken into possession.She made a disclosure statement and in furtherance thereof she got recovered her blood stained petticoat and blouse Ex.P-7 and P-8 which were seized by the police.On 17th February 1989, after the post mortem, a sealed packet containing blood stained clothes of the deceased was also handed over to the police.All those blood stained articles including the weapon of offence were sent for serological examination.Except for petticoat Ex.P-7 and blouse Ex.P-8 of Asad Bai and blood stained earth lifted from the spot of occurrence, which tested positive for blood group `B, all other exhibits tested positive for blood group `O. The knife Ex.P-4 was sent for opinion of the doctor who conducted the post mortem and he opined that the injuries found on the person of deceased Surat Ram could have been caused by the knife Ex.P-9 which appellant Sohan Sahai was found wearing at the time of arrest.He has also drawn our attention to serological reports Ex.It would be seen that PW4 Kul Bahara in his testimony, inter alia, stated thus:These three appeals are directed against the judgment as also order on sentence both dated 31st October 1994 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge in Sessions Case No.18/1994 arising out of FIR No.31/1989 under Section 302/34 IPC, P.S. Samepur Badli.Learned trial Judge vide aforesaid judgment and order on sentence has convicted the appellants for the offence punishable under Section 302 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code (in short `IPC) and sentenced them to undergo imprisonment for life and also to pay a fine of Rs.500/- each and, in default of payment of fine, to undergo further simple imprisonment for a period of three months respectively.His statement to that effect was recorded by ASI Inder Singh and sent to the police station for registration of the case.After completion of the investigation, all the three appellants were forwarded for trial under Section 302/34 IPC.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 3 of 21The learned counsel for the appellants has taken us through the judgment and pointed out that learned Additional Sessions Judge has recorded conviction of the appellants relying upon following evidence/circumstances:-(a) Eye witness account of the occurrence given by PW-3 Villan Jamadar.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 4 of 21(b) Believing the evidence of motive to the effect that appellant Asad Bai wanted to perform second marriage of her daughter Mangli Bai with appellant Sohan Sahai in consideration of Rs.1500/- whereas deceased Surat Ram was against it and wanted Mangli Bai to go back to her husband.(c) The extra judicial confession made by the appellant in presence of PW4 Kul Bahara.(d) Recovery of blood stained weapon of offence i.e. knife/churri Ex.P.4 at the instance of Munna Lal as also recovery of his blood stained kurta Ex.P-5 and lungi Ex.P-6;(e) Recovery of blood stained shirt Ex.P-9 from the person of accused Sohan Sahai;(f) Recovery of blood stained petticoat and blouse Ex.P-7 and Ex.8 at the instance of accused Asad Bai;(g) Serological reports Ex.P-13/1 to Ex.P-13/4, which establish that blood stains on the clothes of Munna Lal and Sohan Sahai as also on the knife/churri Ex.P-4 matched with the blood stains on the clothes of the deceased, the cot and the mattress and blood lifted from the place of occurrence, as all those exhibits had stains of blood group `O.Learned counsel for the appellants has assailed the impugned judgment on the ground that learned trial court has erred in relying upon the testimony of purported eye witness PW-3 Villan Jamadar whose narration, about the manner in which murder took place, is highly unnatural, bordering on fiction and whose presence at the spot is highly doubtful.She has further submitted that the Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 5 of 21 learned trial Judge, though, he has relied upon the testimony regarding extra judicial confession, has failed to take note of the fact that PW-4 Kul Bahara in his cross examination has stated that Asad Bai had confessed about her guilt at the police station.She has argued that since the alleged confession was made while in custody at the police station, it is inadmissible in evidence.Learned counsel for the appellants has further contended that the evidence of the prosecution regarding the recovery of the weapon of offence and blood stained clothes at the instance of respective appellants is highly doubtful.She has also drawn our attention to the serological report Ex.PW-13/1 to Ex.PW-13/4 and pointed out that except for the blood stains on the blouse Ex.P-7 and the petticoat Ex.P-8 of Asad Bai and the blood stained earth sample lifted from the spot, which tested positive for blood group `B, all other samples tested positive for blood group `O. She has submitted that this mis-match between the blood stains found on the exhibits, casts doubt on the prosecution case and in particular indicates that someone else who was having blood group `B was there at the spot of occurrence but, there is no explanation forthcoming as to who that person was, whose blood was found in blood stained earth lifted by the Investigating Officer from the spot.Thus, she has argued that a possibility cannot be ruled out that some other person with blood group `B was responsible for the murder of Surat Ram.She has also argued that evidence to prove motive is also not reliable and is liable to be rejected.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 5 of 21Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 6 of 21Learned counsel for the State, on the other hand, has argued in favour of the conclusions arrived at by the learned Additional Sessions Judge.He has submitted that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has rightly relied upon the testimony of PW3 Villan Jamadar, who is a natural witness being a resident of a nearby jhuggi and who had no motive whatsoever to falsely implicate the appellants for the murder of the deceased Surat Ram, which version also finds support from other circumstantial evidence.In support of this contention, he has drawn our attention to the testimony of PW3 Villan Jamadar and PW4 Kul Bahara and submitted that from their evidence, it is amply proved on record that there was a motive on the part of the appellants Asad Bai and Sohan Sahai to kill the deceased, who was not agreeable to second marriage of his daughter Mangli Bai with the appellant Sohan Sahai.P4, blood stained lungi Ex. P-5 and kurta Ex. P-6 of appellant Munna Lal, at his instance, as also the recovery of blood stained petticoat and blouse of appellant Asad Bai Exhibits P-7 and P-8 at her instance and also recovery of blood stained shirt Ex.PW13/1 to Pw13/4 and submitted that the blood stains found on knife/churri Ex.P-4, saree of Asad Bai Ex.P-3, lungi and kurta of appellant Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 7 of 21 Munna Lal Exhibits P-5 and P-6 and shirt of appellant Sohan Sahai Ex.P-9 tested positive for human blood of group ""O"" and those blood stains matched with the blood group of the deceased Surat Ram lifted from the spot in a phial and also the blood stains found on cot Ex.P-1 and mattress Ex.P-2 on which the dead body was found.Thus, he has argued that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has rightly relied upon the testimony of PW3 Villan Jamadar which finds corroboration from above referred circumstantial evidence of motive as also confession of the appellant Asad Bai and the recovery of the blood stained weapon of offence and clothes at the instance of respective appellants and urged us to dismiss the appeals.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 7 of 21We have carefully considered the submissions made by the learned defence counsel as also the learned counsel for the State.His testimony, however, does not appear to be trustworthy.Firstly, because, the witness in his examination-in-chief has stated that on the fateful night at around 2.00 A.M., he had gone out of his jhuggi to urinate.He heard some noise coming from the jhuggi of Surat Ram, therefore, he peeped into the jhuggi, and he saw in the light of an earthen lamp (diya) that appellant Sohan Sahai was holding Surat Ram by his legs, appellant Asad Bai was holding him by her hands and Munna Lal was cutting his neck with a Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 8 of 21 churri.On seeing this, he went running to Laik Ram, Security Guard of the company and narrated the entire incident to him.Thereafter, he went along with Laik Ram to the police post.If above version of the witness was true, then in the rukka Ex.PW1/A wherein the statement of Laik Ram was recorded, the names of the appellants and the details about the manner in which murder of Surat Ram was committed would have found mention in the statement of Laik Ram Ex. PW1/A recorded at the police post.However, it is noted, that though aforesaid statement Ex.PW1/A records that PW 3 Villan Jamadar told Laik Ram that Surat Ram has been murdered in the jhuggis of Sain Baba Housing Society, there is no mention of the names of the culprits and the details about the manner in which murder was committed.Secondly, PW3 Villan Jamadar, in his cross- examination, has stated that when Munna Lal was cutting the throat of the deceased slowly with the knife/churri, nobody had put his or her hand on the mouth of the deceased.If the aforesaid version was true then definitely the deceased must have cried with pain and even physically resisted the appellants.In such eventuality, obviously, the nearby jhuggi dwellers would have heard the cries of the deceased and reached the spot of occurrence, which is not the case.Even there is nothing in the testimony of the Investigating Officer to suggest that he found any sign of resistance given by the deceased at the spot of occurrence.Therefore, we do not find it safe to rely upon the testimony of PW3 Villan Jamadar, which is highly unnatural and bordering on fiction.Otherwise also, Villan Jamadar in his cross-examination has stated that he Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 9 of 21 accompanied PW1 Laik Ram to the police post for lodging the report.If he was an eye witness to the occurrence and had gone to the police post with one Laik Ram, for lodging the report, his entire version should have found mention in the report Ex. PW1/A lodged by PW1 Laik Ram.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 8 of 21Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 9 of 219. Learned counsel for the State has submitted that Asad Bai was wife of the deceased Surat Ram, therefore, it can be safely inferred that she, being the wife, was present in the jhuggi of Surat Ram on the fateful night.He has argued, thus it was obligatory upon her, in view of Section 106 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, to explain in her statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C., as to where she was on the fateful night or what happened in the jhuggi which resulted in murder of the deceased.He has argued that, since Asad Bai has failed to come out with any explanation in that regard, it provides a strong additional incriminating circumstance against her.The prosecution must stand or fall on its own legs and it cannot derive any strength from the weakness of the defence.To properly appreciate the contention of learned counsel for the State, it is necessary to reproduce para 17 of the said judgment, which reads thus:Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 10 of 21We have been taken through the entire evidence on record.The medical evidence on record clearly proves that the death of Kalwati and her two minor daughters was homicidal caused by strangulation.The cause of death was asphyxia.""when the police had taken away Asad Bai on account of murder of her husband, the police also took me from my jhuggi at about 12.00 night and at the police station Asad Bai had confessed that she had murdered her husband, in my presence""Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 12 of 21From the aforesaid version, it is apparent that purported extra judicial confession, if at all it was made, was made by Asad Bai at the police station while she was in custody.Thus, in our view the learned trial court has erred in relying upon the testimony of PW4 Kul Bahara relating to extra judicial confession made by the appellant Asad Bai.It would be noticed that the Additional Sessions Judge has also believed the evidence of the prosecution regarding motive on the parts of the appellants to kill the deceased Surat Ram.The story of the prosecution as per the charge sheet is that Mangli Bai daughter of Asad Bai was married to PW4 Kul Bahara.She returned from her matrimonial home after 15 days.Asad Bai did not wish her daughter Mangli Bai to go back to her husband Kul Bahara and she wanted to marry her to the appellant Sohan Sahai in consideration of Rs.1500/-, whereas the deceased Surat Ram was opposed to the idea and he wanted Mangli Bai to go back to her husband and there used to be fight between Asad Bai and the deceased Surat Ram on the said issue.To prove the aforesaid motive, prosecution has examined two witnesses PW3 Villan Jamadar and PW4 Kul Bahara.PW3 Villan Jamadar in his cross-examination on behalf of the appellant Asad Bai was unable to tell about the exact nature of conversation which used to take place between Surat Ram and Asad Bai regarding their daughter Mangli Bai, and in the later part of the cross-examination, he has Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 13 of 21 admitted that he was never present during such conversations.In his examination-in-chief also he has stated that he used to hear that Asad Bai wanted to marry their daughter Mangli Bai again, whereas Surat Ram wanted to send her to her previous husband.However, he has not clarified in his cross- examination from whom he had heard that but, he is categoric that he never heard any conversation between Asad Bai and the deceased Surat Ram regarding their daughter Mangli Bai.Therefore, it is obvious, that PW3 Villan Jamadar is not an eye witness to any such discord between the appellant Asad Bai and the deceased and his testimony regarding the motive part is only hearsay, and, therefore, is inadmissible in evidence.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 13 of 21Another witness examined by the prosecution to prove motive on the part of the appellants Asad Bai and Sohan Sahai to kill the deceased Surat Ram is PW4 Kul Bahara.We may mention at the outset that PW4 Kul Bahara falls within the category of an interested witness because according to him 15 days after his marriage with Mangli Bai, his mother-in-law (appellant Asad Bai) took her back to her house and never sent Mangli Bai back to her matrimonial home.From this, it can be inferred that witness might be nursing a grudge against the appellant Asad Bai as she was not allowing her daughter to go back to her matrimonial home.Had he actually been witness to such a transaction, he would at least have known the name of the person with whom Mangli Bai was supposed to be remarried.Further, to prove above referred point of discord between appellant Asad Bai and her deceased husband Surat Ram, the best witness could be Mangli Bai herself.Mangli Bai, however, has neither been cited nor examined as a witness to prove the motive.Since prosecution has opted to withhold the best evidence by not producing her as a witness, we are inclined to infer that had she been examined as a witness, her version would have gone against the prosecution.Therefore, under the circumstances, we are of the view that the evidence led by the prosecution to establish motive on the part of the appellants Asad Bai and Sohan Sahai, is not reliable, and that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has erred in concluding that there was a motive on the part of the appellant to kill the deceased.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 14 of 21Coming to the recovery of the weapon of offence knife/churri Ex.P-4 and blood stained lungi Ex.P-5 and kurta Ex.P-6 at the instance of accused Munna Lal.To prove aforesaid recovery, prosecution has relied upon the Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 15 of 21 statements of the Investigating Officer PW13 Inspector Rati Ram, PW12 Constable Anang Pal Singh and PW 2 Pratap Chand Mandal.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 15 of 21PW 2 Pratap Chand Mandal has stated in his examination-in-chief that accused Munna Lal was arrested by the police on 14th February, 1989 and he made a disclosure statement to the police stating that he could get recovered one white shirt and lungi and knife.Thereafter, he led the police party to jhuggi opposite the jhuggi of the deceased and got recovered knife/ churri Ex.He has stated that recovered articles were taken into possession vide memo Ex.2/B, which bears his signatures at point ""A"".Perusal of the record would show that though the recovery memo Ex.2/A bears the signatures of PW2 Pratap Chand Mandal, neither the disclosure statement of Munna Lal Ex.12/A nor his personal search memo Ex.P-12/B bears signatures of this witness.Had this witness been present at the time of arrest of Munna Lal and when he made disclosure, under natural circumstance, the Investigating Officer would have obtained his signatures on the personal search memo as well as the disclosure statement of the appellant Munna Lal, being an independent witness.Since his signatures are not there on the arrest memo Ex.PW12/B and disclosure statement Ex.PW12/A, his presence at the time of the recovery of Exhibits P-4 to P-6 is doubtful.Otherwise also, PW13 Inspector Rati Ram in his entire testimony has nowhere stated that PW2 Pratap Chand Mandal was with him on 14th February 1989, when he received information Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 16 of 21 about the presence of the appellant Munna Lal at his jhuggi, or that he subsequently joined him in the investigation to witness the recovery of weapon of offence and blood stained clothes of the appellant Munna Lal Exbts P-4 to P- 6 at his instance.On the other hand, in his cross-examination he has stated that when he arrested Munna Lal, he did not join any independent witness from the nearby jhuggis to his arrest.Therefore, it remains unexplained as to when PW2 Pratap Chand Mandal came to be joined as witness and under what circumstances he signed the pointing out-cum-recovery memo Ex.12/A as also the sketch of the knife Ex.2/A. Even the testimony of Constable Anang Pal Singh who is supposed to be other witness of recovery of weapon of offence and clothes Exbts.P-4 to P-6 on the pointing of appellant Munna Lal, does not give any clue as to how and when PW2 Pratap Chand Mandal came to be joined as a witness to the recovery at the instance of appellant Munna Lal.In view of the aforesaid circumstances, we are of the opinion that presence of PW2 Pratap Chand Mandal at the time of recovery is highly doubtful and that being so, the testimony of PW12 Constable Anang Pal Singh and PW13 Investigating Officer Inspector Rati Ram also becomes doubtful and unreliable.Thus, we do not find it safe to rely upon the aforesaid evidence of recovery of witness and blood stains clothes at the instance of Munna Lal.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 16 of 21If the evidence pertaining to recovery of above said articles at the instance of Munna Lal fails, then the evidence of the prosecution regarding Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 17 of 21 recovery of the blood stained shirt from the person of accused Sohan Sahai as also the blood stained petticoat and blouse at the instance of Asad Bai becomes doubtful, because of the same reasons.Otherwise also, the prosecution story, as narrated by the Investigating Officer Inspector Rati Ram, to the effect, that at the time of arrest accused Sohan Sahai was wearing blood stained shirt Ex.P-9 appears to be highly improbable, because had prosecution version about murder of Surat Ram been true, under natural course of circumstances, the first impulse of the appellant accused would have been either to get rid of the shirt or to wash it in order to remove the blood stains from the shirt, instead of moving around wearing the blood stained shirt.Thus, in our view, even the evidence of recovery of blood stained shirt from the person of the accused Sohan Sahai is highly doubtful.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 17 of 21Even if the recovery of petticoat and blouse Exhibits P-7 and P-8 at the instance of appellant Asad Bai is accepted, then also it is of no help to the prosecution because as per the serological report, the blood found on the petticoat and the blouse Exbts.P-7 and P-8 was of group ""B"" which did not match with the blood group ""O"" found on the samples lifted and seized from the spot of occurrence, as such those clothes are not connected to the murder of the deceased Surat Ram.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 18 of 21Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 18 of 21Lastly, it would be seen from the serological report Ex.13/3 that though the case of the prosecution is that the blood group of the deceased Surat Ram was O, the blood stained earth lifted from the spot of occurrence tested positive for the blood group B. That being the case, a possibility of someone having blood group B been present at the spot of occurrence or having been involved in the killing of the deceased Surat Ram cannot be ruled out.From the record, including the testimony of the Investigating Officer Inspector Rati Ram, it is apparent that Investigating Officer has not cared to find out the reasons for presence of blood group B in the blood stained earth lifted from the spot of occurrence.In absence of any explanation coming forth in this regard, a possibility cannot be ruled out that some other person with blood group B might be responsible for the death of the deceased.Further, the Investigating Officer Inspector Rati Ram in his testimony has deposed that on reaching the spot of occurrence, he seized blood stained earth, blood stained articles including one printed green saree which was found at the roof of adjoining jhuggi of son of appellant Asad Bai, vide a Seizure Memo Ex. PW1/B. On seeing the blood stained saree, under the natural course of circumstances, Investigating Officer was expected to suspect some lady for the murder.According to PW1 Laik Ram, who is one of the witnesses to the Seizure Memo Ex.PW1/B, PW3 Villan Jamadar was present at the time of recovery of the saree.If Villan Jamadar actually was an eye witness to the Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 19 of 21 occurrence, at least at the time of recovery of saree, he would have told the Investigating Officer that the deceased was killed by the appellants Asad Bai, Sohan Sahai and Munna Lal.In that eventuality, the Investigating Officer was naturally expected to arrest Asad Bai instead of allowing her to go along with the dead body as Inspector Rati Ram has deposed in his testimony.The aforesaid conduct of Inspector Rati Ram rules out the presence of PW3 Villan Jamadar at the time of occurrence and raises a strong doubt that he has been introduced subsequently as an eye witness by the Investigating Officer.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 19 of 21In view of the discussion above, we are of the opinion that the learned Additional Sessions Judge has erred in appreciating the evidence inasmuch as relying upon the testimony of PW3 Villan Jamadar as also the evidence relating to motive on the part of the appellants as well as the extra judicial confession made by appellant Asad Bai.Even the testimony of witnesses regarding recovery of incriminating articles, like weapon of offence Ex.P4 and blood stained clothes of the appellant Exbts P-5 to P-9 at their instance is highly doubtful.Thus, we do not consider it safe to sustain the judgment of conviction.Accordingly, we accept the appeals filed by the appellants Sohan Sahai, Asar Bai and Munna Lal and set aside the judgment of conviction as also the order of sentence passed by the learned trial Judge.Crl.A.Nos.17/95, 21/95, 106/95 Page 20 of 21All the three appellants are, accordingly, acquitted.The appeals stand disposed of as having been allowed.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The prosecution's case may be briefly summarised as under :-One Lakhpat Singh vide his statement made on 29th July, 1995 Ex.PW2/A informed that the appellant accused Harnam Singh had taken his child Vinod on 28th June, 1995, after he returned home from School.Complainant Lakhpat Singh stated that when he returned home at 7.00 p.m., lie was informed by his wife that Vinod had been taken by Harnam Singh, a cousin of the complainant.Lakhpat Singh searched for Vinod but could not trace him.Lakhpat Singh received letters firstly demanding ransom of Rs. 4 lacs and, thereafter, a sum of Rs. 2 lacs.Prosecution claims that on 15th September, 1995, child Vinod was recovered from the possession of appellants Harnam Singh, Pappu and Vijender and Parvati.The fourth accused Parvati is stated to have died during the proceedings.A ransom note was found to be in the hand-1 writing of Jagbir Singh who is stated to have pointed out the place where the dead body was buried in house and on the basis of his information certain recoveries were also-; made.State in the appeal before the Supreme Court urged that the High Court had erroneously discarded the ""ransom note"" especially when Jagbir Singh accepted the handwriting to be his handwriting.Sample of his handwriting had been voluntarily given for comparison by the handwriting experts.Opinion was also available.JUDGMENT Manmohan Sarin, J.I have had the benefit of perusing the judgment of my learned brother R. S. Sodhi, J., by which the appeals filed against the judgment and order dated 31st August, 2000 and 21st September, 2000 of the Additional Sessions Judge, New Delhi in Sessions Case No. 102/ 97, arising out of FIR No. 480/95, Police Station, Ambedkar Nagar, are sought to be dismissed.The learned Additional Sessions Judge held the appellants guilty under Sections 364-A and 368, IPC and sentenced appellants Harnam Singh, Pappu and Vijender to life imprisonment with a fine of Rs. 10,000/- each and in default further rigorous imprisonment for three months each.On the minor child being recovered from the possession of the accused persons, he was handed over to the complainant by the U.P. Police.The statement of the child was recorded under Section 164, Cr.P.C. by the Metropolitan Magistrate.Minor Vinod named the accused persons as the persons responsible for kidnapping and keeping him in illegal confinement.On the above allegations, appellants were charged and prosecuted for the offences under Section 364-A read with Section 34 and Section 368, IPC.Prosecution had examined PW-2 Lakhpat Singh i.e., the father of child, PW-3 Vinod the kidnapped boy, PW-4 Ravinder Dudeja, Metropolitan Magistrate, before whom the statement under Section 164, Cr.P.C. was recorded.The minor child deposed that Harnam Singh had taken him away on the pretext of getting him Jalebis and brought him to Vijender.He was thereafter shifted from one place to another.He had described frequent beatings by Vijender and frugal feeding by Vijender, Harnam Singh, Pappu and Parvati.The witness had duly identified the appellants in Court.The child had also deposed regarding Ram Prakash, a relation of the complainant, who had also been accused.He declined to identify Ram Prakash as also the suggestion that Ram Prakash also used to beat him or had shown him the pistol.The child also stated that police had recovered him from the possession of Harnam Singh, Pappu, Vijender and Parvati, since deceased.Vijender tried to run away hiding between the goats but was caught.The minor child had withstood cross-examination and the trial Court found his statement trustworthy.I) That the accused kidnapped or abducted the person;II) Kept him under detention after such kidnapping and abduction;iii) The kidnapping or abduction was for ransom.In the present case the question being considered is whether the last ingredient has been proved by the prosecution? For succeeding, the prosecution was required to prove that the letters demanding payment of ransom emanated from the accused or were sent at the behest of the accused.6. Let us consider the evidence as led by the prosecution in respect of proving the ransom note and the demand of ransom.The deposition of Lakhpat Singh in this regard is as follows :-""On three occasions, the police went to Aligarh District to look for my sen but he was not traceable anywhere at that time.Thereafter, I' received four ransom letters from Harnam Singh, demanding a ransom of Rs. 2 lacs in the first instance thereafter he demanded ransom of Rs. 4 lacs.Ex. PW2/B, Ex.PW2/C and Ex.PW2/D are the said four ransom letters received by me from Harnam Singh.The original envelopes in which the above letters were received by me are Ex.PI to Ex.P4.""The Public Prosecutor sought to cross-examine him.This part of the statement is as under :-""It is correct that I had stated in my statement under Section 161, Cr.P.C. dated 29th September, 1995 that the accused demanded Rs. 1 lakh as ransom.It is also correct that on 15th September, 1995, I had handed over 5 ransom letters to the police officials of Patiali District Etah (UP), where I informed him regarding kidnapping of my son Vinod.It is correct that the police recovered my son Vinod from the above four accused persons, namely, Pappu, Vijender and Parvati.Accused Ram Prakash was also present with them.""In cross-examination also no particulars of demand of ransom of Rs. 1 lac being oral, telephonic through someone or which accused demanded and from or through whom.Here also reference appears to be in context of ransom notes.Thereafter, he was cross-examined by counsel for the accused-Harnam Singh and during the cross-examination he denied the suggestion that he owed a sum of Rs. 10,000/- to Harnam Singh.He stated that Ram Prakash had been implicated in this case on the fact that his name was mentioned demanding ransom.He deposed that the ransom letters are in the hands of appellant accused-Pappu, Pappu is the son of the sister of Chachi (Paternal aunt of accused-Harnam Singh).In his cross-examination, he further stated, ""the ransom let-ters were received by me through registered post and not by hand.The case set up is that demand for ransom was through ransom letters and not an oral or telephonic demand by any of the accused made either to the complainant or to the kidnapped child.8A. Ransom letters which were tendered in evidence by Lakhpat Singh are Ex. PW-2/B, PW-2/C and PW-2/D i.e. three in number, Lakhpat Singh in his examination-in-chief stated that he received the letters from Harnam Singh, but in cross-examination he stated that he received the letters through registered post.Harnam Singh is not the sender in any of the letters.The original have been carefully seen by me.The first envelope Ex.Pl is addressed to one Ram Prasad Nagar Tailor.The sender's name as given on the envelope is Rakesh Babu Badora.There is, however, no ransom letter, which is stated to have been exhibited or received through this envelope proved on record.The first exhibit out of the ransom document is Ex. PW2, which is not mentioned in the statement of Lakhpat Singh, as recorded.This is a photocopy of an Inland letter and appears to have been sent by some detenu in prison and does not disclose any bearing to the present case.The envelope Ex.P2 is addressed to Lakhpat Singh and purported to have been sent by Ram Prakash Tailor.PW2/B are four pages of hand written letters.Ex. PW2/C are two pages of hand written letter on lined pages of copy book.PW2/D is another hand written letter on lined pages of copy book.On a mere visual examination of these three exhibits, namely, PW2/B, PW2/C and PW2/D, it is obvious to the naked eye that these are not written by one person.These aspects appear to have been totally overlooked by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, who contrary to the deposition of complainant that these were in the hands, of Pappu, concluded that these were writ-, ten by Harnam Singh.Additionally, there is another page, which is again in a different hand writing, which is tagged on to these without being given any identification.The question to be considered in these circumstances is whether on the mere bald averment of the complainant that the ransom letters are in the hands of Pappu, the same ought to be accepted as proved.The witness did not even state that he was familiar with the hand writing of Pappu or that he had ever seen him writing or had received any other communication from Pappu.No sample hand writing of Pappu was taken, so as to have its comparison by handwriting expert.It was not even put to Pappu in his statement recorded under Section 313, Cr.P.C, that ransom notes were in his handwriting.It was only put to the accused under Section 313, Cr.P.C. that ransom notes were received by complainant, which was stated to be incorrect.It may also be noted that on the date when statement of Lakhpat Singh was recorded, it was only the counsel of Harnam Singh, who was present.In fact, accused Pappu, Vijender and Paravati were not represented through counsel and it was only subsequently on 15th September, 1997 that Mr. Ranjit Singh was appointed as the Am-icus Curiae on their behalf.Subsequently, on the next date, amices Curiae, so appointed, was not available.The amices Curiae continued to be not available and the matter was adjourned and on 20th March, 1998, Mr. A. U. Khan was appointed as amices Curiae.In short, on 12th August, 1997, when the above cross-examination took place, where Lakhpat Singh is stated to have said that ransom letters were in the hand writing of Pappu, the latter was not represented by any counsel.In the cited case the accused persons, who had hired a taxi and gone to a hotel and stayed for night along with the driver, left in the morning asking the waiter to take care of the driver.The driver was found dead.The waiter who was a solitary witness was not examined.The owner of the hotel deposed and stated that he had learnt of the stay of the accused from the waiter.It was held that (Para 7 of Cri LJ) :-""The accused persons are said to have made a entry in the register duly maintained by the hotel, in their own pen, and signed the same showing their stay on the fateful night in the hotel in question.Sofar as this entry is concerned, the same has been exhibited on the basis of statement of PW-6 (owner) though, he has nowhere stated that lie knew either the writings or signatures of any of the accused persons.Indisputably the accused never made the entry in the presence of PW-6, but the same is claimed to have been made in the presence of the waiter alone.Thus the entry in the register having not been legally proved is not admissible in evidence.There is no other evidence in relation to stay of the accused persons in the hotel on the night of occurrence and there being no substantive evidence in relation to this very circumstance, the same cannot be proved by the, statement of PW-6/owner, which could have been used only by way of corroborative evidence and thus the prosecution has failed to prove this circumstance which was the most important one to hold the accused persons guilty.Pappu's handwriting was not even taken for comparison.Rather there ; was total confusion as to whether the letters were even sent by Harnam Singh or by registered post as claimed, or where in the hand of Harnam Singh as held by the Court.Reference may also be usefully made to the State of Haryana v. Jagbir Sigh, reported at .: In the cited case an innocent child of about four years was a victim of unnatural death.As per the prosecution, the respondents murdered the child after kidnapping him.The intended demand for ransom for his release was stated to be the motive for the crime.Accused Jagbir Singh was found to be guilty by the Sessions Judge who convicted him under Sections 302/362/201/ 384, IPC.An appeal was filed and the High Court by its judgment found them not.Jagbir Singh had been produced before the Addl.The Addl.CJM had also deposed that the accused had admitted the signatures to be his.The Supreme Court held (Paras 19 and 20 of Cri LJ) :-""In order to enable the exercise of power under Section 73, the pendency of a proceeding before the Court is the sine qua non.Therefore, the comparison of the signature on the alleged ransom note in no way helps the prosecution.Great emphasis was laid by the learned counsel for the State on the evidence of PW-4, the Additional CJM that the accused had admitted that the signature was his.It may also be noted that while the deposition by the complainant was that the ransom letters were handed over by Harnam Singh, subsequently changed to, ""received through registered post"" and in the deposition, these were stated to be in the hands of Pappu, the trial Court in para 34 of the judgment concluded these were in the hands of Harnam Singh.In view of the foregoing discussion, I am of the view that the prosecution has failed to satisfy the essential ingredients of kidnapping being for payment of ransom in the absence of proving ransom notes.Prosecution has failed to prove demand of ransom by any of the accused for kidnapping, Prosecution has failed to prove the ransom notes as originating from or at behest of accused.The prosecution has, however, been successful in proving that the minor had been taken out of custody by the appellants.The prosecution has also successfully proved the confinement of the minor by the accused persons.The minor has been recovered from their possession and custody.Accordingly, the prosecution has proved the offence under Sections 365 and 368, IPC, read with Section 34, IPC.Accordingly, the order passed by the trial Court is modified to sentencing all the accused/appellants to rigorous imprisonment of 7 years instead of life imprisonment along with a fine of Rs. 10,000/- each and in default of fine, appellants shall further undergo rigorous imprisonment for three months each.The benefit under Section 428, Cr.P.C. would also be available to appellants.The appeals are partly allowed as aforesaid.","['Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 164 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 384 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"J U D G M E N TCRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 728 OF 2007ARISING OUT OFSpecial Leave Petition (Criminal) No. 4570 of 2006Hon.C.K. Thakker, J.1. Leave granted.It is not necessary to set out facts in detail since we have stated all the facts in Criminal Appeal No. 867 of 2006 (Suman Sood @ Kamal Jeet Kaur v. State of Rajasthan) and a cognate matter which we have decided today.Suffice it to state that a complaint being First Information Report (FIR) No. 84 of 1995 was registered at Malviya Nagar Police Station, Jaipur on February 26, 1995 against Daya Singh, appellant herein, Suman Sood @ Kamal Jeet Kaur (accused No.2) and one Harnek Singh @ Surender Verma (absconding) for offences punishable under Sections 353, 420, 468, 471, 472, 473, 474 read with Section 120B Indian Penal Code ('IPC' for short), for offences punishable under Sections 4 and 5 of the Explosive Substances Act, 1908, Sections 7 and 25 of Arms Act, 1959 and Section 18 of TADA etc.The case of the prosecution was that the appellant herein along with his wife Suman Sood @ Kamal Jeet Kaur fabricated Registration Certificate for purchasing several vehicles in order to carry out conspiracy of kidnapping and abducting one Rajender Mirdha, son of Shri Ram Niwas Mirdha to exert pressure on the Government of India to release one Devendra Singh Bhullar, an alleged Khalistani terrorist who was being held in custody by the police.It was also alleged that the appellant was found to be in possession of prohibited arms and ammunition allegedly recovered from House No. B-117, Model Town, Ashok Nagar during police raid where the appellant was staying.Initially, prosecution was launched in the Designated Court at Ajmer since the provisions of TADA were also invoked.The appellant herein, however, challenged his prosecution under TADA.In Daya Singh Lahoria v. Union of India & Ors., (2001) 4 SCC 516, this Court upheld the challenge since the prosecution of the accused could only be maintained in accordance with the Extradition Treaty and the Decree of Extradition under which the accused were extradited by the United States of America to India.The trial Court, after considering the evidence on record, convicted accused No.1 (appellant herein) as under:Under Section 420 IPC : to 7 years R.I. and a fine of Rs.500/-, in default of payment of fine, to further undergo 6 months S.I.Under Section 468 IPC : to 7 years R.I. and a fine of Rs.500/-, in default of payment of fine, to further undergo 6 months S.I.Under Section 471 IPC : to 2 years R.I.Likewise, the State of Rajasthan, being aggrieved by an order of acquittal passed by the trial Court against Suman Sood instituted an application for leave to appeal against acquittal.A Single Judge of the High Court refused to grant leave against accused No.2 (Suman Sood) holding that the trial Court was right in recording an order of acquittal against her and no case had been made out to grant leave.Leave was accordingly refused.He, therefore, did not press the appeal.The High Court disposed of the appeal and observed;""At the very outset, the learned counsel Mr. G.S. Fauzdar for the accused appellant Daya Singh contended that maximum sentence in the present case was seven years and all the sentences were ordered to run concurrently and appellant has already completed his sentence of imprisonment of seven years, therefore, in these circumstances, he does not press the appeal filed on behalf of Daya Singh, challenging his order of conviction and sentence passed by the trial Court as mentioned above.In view of the above statement of the learned counsel for the appellant Daya Singh @ Vinay Kumar, the SB Cr.Appeal No. 332/05 filed by Daya Singh is hereby dismissed as not pressed"".Ms. Kamini Jaiswal, appearing for the appellant, challenged the order of conviction and sentence.When her attention was invited by the Court to the above paragraph, she submitted that she did not dispute that such a statement was made on behalf of the accused in the High Court, but submitted that, she be permitted to argue the appeal, particularly when in other Special Leave Petitions, leave was granted and appeals were heard on merits.On merits also, no case had been made out by the prosecution.The other accused (Suman Sood) was acquitted on the same evidence and leave to appeal against an order of acquittal was refused by the High Court.The conviction recorded by the trial Court against the appellant on the same evidence is also vitiated and deserves to be set aside.In the light of the finding recorded by us in the cognate matter, this appeal is, more or less, academic and has become infructuous in view of the following circumstances;(i) the appellant has been convicted for an offence punishable under Section 364A, IPC and has been ordered to undergo sentence of imprisonment for life and we have upheld the said order; and","['Section 420 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"Due to the law and order problem, a Peace Committee Meeting was conducted at the Taluk Office, Kudavasal in thehttp://www.judis.nic.in 2/10 Crl.RC.No.381 of 2017 presence of the Tahsildar.The agitating public/villagers had requested that the petitioner firm should not draw water through bore well till there was continuous rain or there was water in the river.The petitioner company had offered to bring water through tankers from outside source and do the bottling in their factory and the agitating villagers did not agree for that and there was no consensus between the parties.This revision petition has been filed seeking to call for the entire records pertaining to the impugned order dated 13.02.2017 in Na.No.1930 of 2016 on the file of the respondent and revise the same.The petitioner firm is a company engaged in the business of mineral water after obtaining necessary license in the year 2008 and the license was in existence.The petitioner company had been running the business of bottling mineral water by drawing ground water through bore well in No.53 Simili Revenue Village, Thalayalangadu Village in Guttural Taluk.Since the villagers objected for drawing of under ground water in Thalayalangadu Village, Guttural Taluk, petitioner firm has sent a representation to the respondent, stating that due to failure of North-East monsoon in the year 2016, the ground water level has gone down and thereby, the villagers finding it difficult to draw water from their bore well, objected the petitioner company from drawing the underground ater through bore well.Pursuant to the same, on 02.01.2017 the villagers conducted a road blockade and the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Nannilam, Kudavasal Taluk and Inspector of Police, Kudavasal Police Station conducted a meeting with the villagers, due to which, the road block was withdrawn.Thereby, the Tahsildar had requested the Executive Magistrate to direct the petitioner's company to stop drawing of water from the bore well.A report was also given by the Deputy Superintendent of Police that in respect of the road block, a case has been registered in Crime No.2 of 2017 for offences under Section 143, 341 and 188 IPC and it was also stated that if the operation of the petitioner company was not stopped, there was possibility of the villagers conducting agitation against drawing of water.Based on the above report, the respondent passed the impugned order on 13.02.2017 directing the petitioner company under Section 133 (1) B of Cr.P.C to stop the operations of the company temporarily till the next rainy season or till the drought gets over.The revision has been filed challenging the above order.Only if any of these two ingredients are available the respondents may pass the prohibition order.The road roko was conducted on the instigation of a political goon who had attempted to extort money from the Petitioner Company.This court heard the learned counsel on either side and considered their submissions and perused the impugned order, along with the other materials.P.C absolute.In other words, the order under Section 133 Cr.P.C., can only be a preliminary order since Section 138 empowers the Magistrate to hear the objections of the concerned party for the purpose of either making the order under Section 133 Cr.P.C., absolute or for modifying it.”http://www.judis.nic.in 8/10 Crl.RC.No.381 of 2017In the opinion of this Court, the Magistrate ought to have given an opportunity to the petitioner after fixing specified period and thereafter, after following the procedure under Section 138 Cr.P.C. should have passed the order.Though this order is stated to be passed under Section 133 (1)(b) of Cr.P.C, which ought to be temporary preliminary in nature the Respondent had directed the Petitioner Company to stop operation till the next rainy season or till the drought gets over which amounts to closing operations in perputuity.The impugned order has been passed without following the procedure contemplated under Section 138 Cr.P.C. and without application of mind.Further, if the order is passed under Section 133 of Cr.PC the magistrate has to fix the time and place in the order for appearance of the petitioner either before himself or some other Executive Magistrate subordinate to him to show cause as to why the order should not be made absolute and such an observation is missing in the order.In view of the above, the impugned order is vitiated.http://www.judis.nic.in 9/10 Crl.RC.No.381 of 2017 A.D.JAGADISH CHANDIRA., J.In the result, this revision is allowed.The impugned order dated 13.02.2017 passed by the respondent is set aside.However, it is made clear that the respondent is directed to initiate fresh proceedings in accordance with law, if circumstances warrants so.19.11.2019 bri Index: Yes/No Speaking Order/Non Speaking Order To1.The Executive Magistrate Cum Revenue Divisional

Charges in respect of offence punishable under sections 304- B and 498-A, and in the alternative, 306 of IPC were framed against the accused persons.The accused persons abjured their guilt and pleaded for trial.The learned trial Court after appreciating the evidence recorded the finding of acquittal of the accused- respondents by the impugned judgment.Shri Akshay Namdeo, learned Panel Lawyer for the appellant/State endeavoured to convince that the learned trial Court has erred in pronouncing the judgement of acquittal, on the ground that the death of the deceased has occurred within a span of 7 years from the date of solemnisation of her marriage.Father of the deceased has clearly stated about the demand of dowry.The postmortem report (Ex.P/2) reveals that the death was not natural.Thus, the learned Panel Lawyer contended that learned trial Court has committed grave error in not appreciating the evidence brought on record, especially the medical report.We have gone through the record and the contentions raised by the learned Panel Lawyer for the appellant/State.It is not disputed that the deceased - Smt. Farida Bi died due to severe burn injuries and her marriage was solemnised with accused Rafiq 3-4 years prior to the date of the incident.Necessary ingredients to prove commission of the offence are lacking in the present case.The Medical Officer (PW-4) has denied the suggestion that the deceased died before she was burnt.He also opined that the hands of the deceased were severely burnt.This indicates that when a persons is caught with fire accidentally, he/she endeavours hard to save himself/herself.In the present case the deceased might have made best possible efforts when her hands came in contact with fire and got severely burnt.These witnesses are also close to Usman (PW-01) and, therefore, the learned trial Court has inferred them as interested witnesses.Delay in recording the statements and apparent inconsistencies therein, create a reasonable doubt in the prosecution story.Therefore, the learned trial Judge did not find the statements of these prosecution witnesses creditworthy.Besides, Rabia Bi, an immediate neighbour of the accused persons, who was examined as a defence witness, in her statement has stated that the deceased narrated that no quarrel occurred at the place of her in-laws.The deceased - Smt. Farida Bi used to visit this witness repeatedly, but she never expressed about any quarrel for or in connection with demand of dowry.Rabia Bi did not say anything incriminating against the accused-respondents.Another neighbour Suleman (DW-01) has also deposed that the deceased - Smt. Farida Bi frequently used to visit his place, but she never expressed anything about demand of dowry, causing any cruelty or ill-treatment to her by her in-laws.He specifically stated that no cruelty was meted out to Farida Bi one day prior to the incident.He further stated that Smt. Farida was suffering from some unknown disease, for which she was being treated by a local 'Sailani Baba' by practicing 'Jhadphoonk' (witchcraft).She used to roam around spreading her hair without consciousness.","['Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::After careful scrutiny of the cross-examination of the PW2, we do not find anything brought on the record except that she 15 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 16 apeal 234.09.bom.doc was not present when the Police broke the lock of the door of the mezzanine room.Even accepting the said admission as it is, it does not shatter her evidence regarding the room being locked, as the said facet relates to herself being not present at the time of the Police breaking the lock and does not relate to the fact of herself having seen the lock on the said room.Thus her evidence considered in proper perspective establishes of the above referred circumstances.We further add that hardly there is any challenge to her evidence on the part of the appellants of the room being locked after the appellant and the children left the room or for the fact of themselves having left with the bag as deposed by her.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::The due corroboration to the relevant part of evidence of PW2 for the aforesaid circumstance is found from the evidence of Police personnel PW1 and PW14 who had been to the spot after receiving the information of emission of odour from the neighbours.The evidence of PW1 in terms reveals that door was locked from the outside and they had broken the lock of the room.The evidence of PW1 is well corroborated by complaint Exh.10 to such effect lodged by him.Even the evidence of PW14 regarding the same is not different.It also reveals the room being locked and they had opened it by breaking the lock.Evidence of both the witnesses further reveals that after entry, the decomposed body of the deceased was found in the room.They have deposed in 16 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 17 apeal 234.09.bom.doc consonance with the prosecution case narrated earlier regarding the situation in which the body was found.The perusal of their depositions do not reveal that such aspect of their evidence were shattered during the cross-examination.In addition to the aforesaid evidence, the reference to the evidence of PW12 reveals that the appellant no.2 was visiting the house of the appellant no.1 during the absence of the deceased.It reveals that she had sent Shamim and Hasan to the Bandra Police Station after the neighbours have told that odour was coming.She specifically deposed that when the Police came, the room of deceased and the appellant no.1 was locked and the lock was opened by the Police and the body of deceased was found in the said room.We find that her evidence has remained totally unshattered during the cross-examination.Though suggested that she had deposed falsely, hardly anything was brought during the cross-examination for giving any credence to the suggestion given.The evidence of PW12 as well as of the earlier referred evidence of PW2, do not reveal any reason for them for entertaining any animus against the appellant for staking such a claim.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::In the same context, the reference to the evidence of PW13 reveals that he was serving as a Tailor at Bandra and the appellant no.2 was working with him as well as residing at his work place for a period of two months and as such he was well 17 of 33 ::: Downloaded on -

27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::The learned counsel for the appellants by harping upon the evidence of PW7 submitted that his evidence only reveals that the Police had opened the door.It was urged that his evidence fails to reveal that Police had broken lock on the room.It was contended that PW7 being independent panch, his evidence run contrary to the evidence of earlier referred witnesses as the same fails to depict that the room was locked.It was thus contended that prosecution has failed to establish the circumstance of, room in question being locked.After carefully considering the evidence of the aforesaid witnesses and the sequence in which the events had occurred, we are unable to give any significance to said submissions canvassed.The aforesaid evidence duly reveals that the Police had been to the said spot as odour was emitting out of the room in question.The evidence of PW2 reveals that her husband has felt that it might 19 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 20 apeal 234.09.bom.doc have been due to decomposition of rat.It reveals that till then nobody had suspected of any foul play.The evidence denotes that the Police opened the lock for ascertaining the reason behind the said foul smell.It reveals that thereafter the body of the deceased was found in the said room.Thus considering from the said angle, PW7 would have been called only after noticing the dead body for recording the further events and situation prevailing at the spot and for drawing inquest panchanama.Hence in all probability PW7 being called lateron after the lock was opened, it would be unreasonable to accept himself deposing about the said events occurred prior to his arrival.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::Similarly looking the matter from another angle and even assuming that PW7 was accompanying the Police since the beginning or after noticing the lock on the room, then also carefully considering his evidence, we do not find that his evidence reveals that the said room was not locked.Such a conclusion is inevitable as PW7 has deposed of the door being open.The perusal of the cross-examination does not reveal any position brought on the record that it was not locked.Thus even from the said angle, the criticism or the circumstances pointed out from the evidence of PW7 cannot be given any undue significance.We are of such a view as in the event of the door being not locked, PW2 and her husband would have well entered in said room for ascertaining as 20 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 21 apeal 234.09.bom.doc to what was the reason behind smell.Such an inference is obvious as appellant no.1 and deceased were tenants and not strangers.However, instead of occurring of any such event of themselves entering the room, giving a call to the Police clearly denotes that the room then must have been locked.Furthermore the evidence of PW2 considered in proper perspective also denotes that she was told by the appellant no.1 while leaving the room that they were going away to Millat Nagar and informing accordingly to anybody who comes for inquiry.The said facet of her evidence considered in a proper perspective also denotes in all probability room being locked.Needless to add that it would be insensible to imagine in Bombay persons leaving the room by keeping it open.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::The learned counsel for the appellants further contended that the prosecution having not produced the lock at the trial, also denotes that the said room was not locked.We are unable to accept the said submission as in reality the same relates to nature of evidence required to be adduced for establishing a fact.In the event of, fact of room being locked being established by the prosecution, through the cogent evidence of PW2 , PW1, PW14 and PW13, it cannot be gainsaid that it was incumbent for prosecution to produce the said lock for establishing the relevant facet.At least the inference as suggested by learned counsel for the appellants, cannot be drawn on the said isolated circumstance ignoring 21 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 22 apeal 234.09.bom.doc otherwise convincing cogent and evidence of the above referred witnesses.In the light of the aforesaid discussion, we find that the prosecution has duly established the circumstances under consideration.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::Now with regard to the fifth circumstance of the appellants being found in one room at Shajah Nagar Mirath, the evidence of PW9 API Badgujar reveals that PW15 P.I. Sawant had sent him along with the Police Party at Mirath, Uttar Pradesh for nabbing the appellants.It reveals that at the address of the appellants given to them, nobody was found and hence they had halted for 3-4 days.It reveals that after receipt of information that appellants were residing at Shajah Nagar, Mirath, on 2.9.2007 along with Nisarigate Police, he had been to the said Police Station and found both the appellants in one room.It reveals that on the basis of the photograph of the appellants given to him, he identified and arrested them by drawing panchanama Exh.28 in presence of panchas.It reveals that thereafter he had obtained transit remand and brought them to Bombay.After perusal of the cross- examination, we do not find that except giving the witness suggestion that he has deposed falsely, any significant material was brought on the record for not accepting his evidence.Though there is substance in the submission of prosecution having not examined panch witnesses, still we find it difficult to accept the submission that on the said count the evidence of PW9 is liable to be rejected.We are of such a view a it is fairly settled legal position that the presumption of truth available for the evidence of any witness recorded on oath is equally available for the evidence of the honest Police Officer and their evidence is not liable alone on the count of themselves being from the Police Department.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::ig Having regard to the same and after carefully considering the evidence of PW9, we find that the same is free from doubt, embellishment or any interestedness.Now considering the sixth circumstance relied by the prosecution of appellant no.1 having purchased sleeping pills on the day in question and administered the same, the trial Court had held that initial part of the said circumstance was duly established by the prosecution i.e. purchase of sleeping pills on the basis of the evidence of PW5, but not the latter aspect, as no evidence has surfaced regarding the same and even the medical evidence 23 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 24 apeal 234.09.bom.doc adduced having not established such a tablet was administered by PW1 to the deceased for making them easy to commit crime in question due to thereby there would have been least resistance on part of the deceased.In the said context, the prosecution has also adduced the evidence of PW15 Investigating Officer for establishing that statement made by appellant no.1 of showing the place at which she had purchased the said pills for the purpose as stated by him and having led the panchas and Police to the shop of PW5 and the panchanama Exh.42 regarding the same.Since we find there is a failure of the prosecution to establish discovery of the shop in pursuance to the statement made can be said to be an incriminating fact or even otherwise giving all latitudes to the prosecution with certainty having established, the nexus of the tablets purchased with the crime in question, we find it difficult to place much reliance upon the said evidence for any significant purpose.However, thereby we do not intend to convey that the entire evidence of PW5 would be liable to be discarded as the fact of appellants having purchased such pills from his shop has been duly established from his evidence.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::With regard to seventh circumstance of the appellant 24 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 25 apeal 234.09.bom.doc no.2 possessing the knowledge regarding the place at which the blood stained clothes and gunny bag used by appellant no.1 for cleaning the room were kept concealed and thereby nexus of appellant no.2 with the crime.The prosecution has also adduced the evidence of PW3 and PW15 regarding the statements made by appellant no.2 leading to the discovery and seizure of a bag containing the clothes which were used by appellant no.1 for cleaning the room and the same being seized from the place shown by the appellant no.2 at Bandra creek.However, reference to the evidence of PW3 reveals that he had not supported the prosecution and the learned APP had cross-examined him by obtaining permission of the Court.Hence prosecution as well as the trial Court had relied only upon the evidence of PW15 and C.A. report received regarding the said clothes indicating that human blood was found on the said clothes seized from the bag which was taken out from the sea water and sent to C.A. Thus considering limited significance of the said circumstance, we do not propose to indulge in detail dilation about it except stating that considering the place at which the said recovery was made i.e. clothes kept in a bag and thrown in a creek water , the said evidence would not be liable to be discarded as tried to canvass by the learned counsel for the appellants on the count of the recovery being from an open place accessible to all.It is indeed true that the recoveries of such a nature are found to be insignificant in view of knowledge regarding 25 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 26 apeal 234.09.bom.doc the same can be possible to any particular person for the said reason other than himself being a culprit and thus for the said reason significance of such a recovery from the open place being reduced.However, in the instant case, considering the evidence of PW15 in proper perspective and the manner in which the said clothes used for cleaning the human blood in the room, were thrown at a place in a sea which though open, still considering the peculiarity attached with it, we find it difficult to accept submission canvassed for the simple reason that the said facets denote that knowledge of such articles being at such place could not have been gathered by anybody else other than the person linked with the said recovery.Similarly we also do not find substance in the criticism canvassed that panch witness PW3 having not supported the prosecution, the entire evidence pertaining to the said recovery is liable to be discarded.We reject the said submission for the same reasons for which we have earlier not found in favour of the submission canvassed qua the evidence of PW9 API Badgujar on the count of non-examination of panch witnesses.Needless to add by establishing human blood on the said clothes, gunny bag vide C.A. report Exh.44, the prosecution has established nexus of the said clothes with the crime in question and particularly due to non- explanation about all the said aspects on part of any of the appellant.Similarly in absence of any suggestion of tampering of the seals of the said articles sent to C.A. , we are unable to give any 26 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 27 apeal 234.09.bom.doc credence to the submission canvassed that on the said count the said evidence is worthless.Resultantly we find that though for limited purpose the said evidence deserves to be taken into consideration for adding assurance to the conclusions arising out of the other established circumstances.::: Downloaded on -

+ excepting the last eighth circumstance, the prosecution has established all the circumstances or part thereof as indicated in the discussion made hereinabove.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::The learned counsel for the appellants vehemently contended that after excluding the vital circumstances of the purported confessions allegedly made by the appellants to PW11, both the appellants and/or at least the appellant no.1 would be entitled to be acquitted or at least given benefit of doubt.It was canvassed that there being no cogent evidence of room being locked or even assuming it to be locked, there was every possibility of somebody else entering said room and committing the murder and thereafter going away by locking the room for implicating the appellants.We are unable to accept the said criticism as we find that there is a close proximity within the events of the appellants along with the children leaving the spot of offence on 22.08.2007 at about 9 a.m. after locking the same and about the fact of since then room being locked and decomposed corpse of the deceased found in the 29 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 30 apeal 234.09.bom.doc said room on the next day; as duly established by the prosecution.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::Hardly any evidence is surfaced on the record that anybody else had thereafter opened the said room.At any rate the room being locked, the same excludes any such possibility as canvassed.Thus the said circumstance of corpse of deceased being found in the said room which was locked when appellants had left room, has significant serious potential of the said circumstance alone leading to the sole inference about their guilt in causing homicidal death of deceased even not disputed by the appellants and otherwise also established by the prosecution.Such a conclusion is inevitable has none of the appellants has advanced any explanation during their examination under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C. Hence even if the other circumstances i.e. circumstance nos. 2,5,6 and 7 are not taken into consideration, the other established circumstance nos. 1,3 and 4 alone are capable of leading to the inference of their guilt.Additionally the said other circumstances established by the prosecution also strengthens such a conclusion, as the said circumstances considered along with the earlier two referred circumstances forms a formidable chain leading to the sole inference of the guilt of the appellants.The same is apparent from the circumstances of blood stained water percolating in the room of PW2, though appellant no.1 tried to explain of the same being on count of injury sustained by her, her conduct of non-opening the door at the relevant time and the time at which the said event had 30 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 31 apeal 234.09.bom.doc occurred i.e. about 8 p.m. on the relevant day also fortifies the conclusions arrived earlier.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::Same is the case regarding fifth circumstance of both the appellants being found in one room at Mirath.It is indeed true that as pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellants, the prosecution has not given the evidence as to who was the owner of the said room and additionally the appellants acquainted with each other, being found in one room by itself would be innocuous circumstance as canvassed.Similarly with regard to the part of circumstance no.6 of trial Court having held that there is no evidence of appellant no.1 having administered sleeping pills purchased by her to the deceased, it can be said that even for the said circumstance no explanation had been given by the appellant no.1 i.e. regarding the reason for purchasing the said pills.Thus the said circumstance 31 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 32 apeal 234.09.bom.doc considered along with the other circumstances also fortifies the inference arising out of the same.Since it is well known that the evidence of medicine consumed may not be retained in the body after passage of certain times, we find total rejection of the said part of circumstance by the trial Court was not proper.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::The learned counsel for the appellants also tried to canvass that ultimately the appellant no.1 was a lady and it is unlikely that she would have caused the throat injury to her husband and at the most, the evidence denotes that she had accompanied the appellant no.2 and as such her conviction under Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code was improper.We do not find any force in the said submission as bare glance of the said section 32 of 33 ::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 ::: 33 apeal 234.09.bom.doc 34 of the I.P.C. makes it clear that act includes the series of an act and under Section 34 of the I.P.C. if such an act is done by several persons in furtherance of common intention of all," then each of such person is liable for that act in the same manner as if it was done by him alone.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::Resultantly we find no merit in the appeal and dismiss the same.::: Downloaded on - 27/08/2013 21:07:42 :::""","['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Agarwal, J. allowed the appeal and set aside the conviction and sentence of appellants.By separate judgment and order of the same date Hon'ble K. K. Misra, J. dismissed the appeal and confirmed the conviction and sentence of the appellants.In view of difference of opinion between the two Hon'ble Judges of the Bench, the record was placed before Hon'ble the Chief Justice under Section 392, Cr.P.C. who nominated the appeal to this Bench for opinion.This is how the appeal is before this Bench.I have heard Sri A. K. Singh, Advocate holding brief of Sri G. S. Chaturvedi, learned counsel for the appellants and the learned A.G.A. for the respondent and have perused the entire evidence on record.The learned counsel for the appellants contended that the appellants had no motive with the deceased; the occurrence had taken place in the darkness and nobody had seen the occurrence; there was delay in the lodging of F.I.R.; the report was ante-timed the evidence of the ocular witnesses is not reliable and therefore, the appellants could not.be convicted.Before adverting to the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the apepllants, I would like to refer the gist of evidence of ocular witnesses.Ganesh Singh (PW 1), the younger brother of deceased Hira Singh, stated that about 5 days before the occurrence of this case, appellants Radha Mohan, Kaushal Kishore and others had assaulted one Udai Narain of which he was witness of the prosecution.Radha Mohan and others were pressurizing him not to give evidence in the said case.On the date of occurrence it was Holi festival and people of the village were busy in singing and enjoying Holi songs.Hira Singh deceased had gone to meet village people and while he was returning to his house Radha Mohan and Kaushal Kishore appellants met him in the way and asked him to persuade his brother (witness) not to give evidence against them.On it Hira Singh replied that his brother had seen the occurrence and he would give evidence.The above appellants then threatened him that they would teach him a lesson.Thereafter, the witness along with the deceased went to the house of Nand Kishore, Mohan (PW 3) and Ram Pyari (PW 6) were also present there.All the four persons proceeded towards north.While returning to their house at about sun set when they reached at Rasta near the hosue of Nand Kishore, appellants Radha Mohan armed with spear, Devendra Singh armed with Pharsa, Tej Bahadur and Kapil Deo armed with Lathi and Kaushal Kishore armed with knife came there.Radha Mohan inflicted spear blow on the deceased.When the witnesses tried to save him, appellants Tej Bahadur and Kapil Deo Singh inflicted Lathi blows on him.When Mohan and Ram Pyari tried to save them, Kausal Kishore inflicted knife blow on Mohan (PW 3) and Kapil Deo inflicted Lathi blow on Ram Pyari, Pharsa injury was also caused to Hira Singh.On the alarm raised by them, Ram Jee Singh (PW 4) Nand Kishore (PW 5) Jagdish Singh and others came to the spot and saw the occurrence.Thereafter, the deceased, who was in injured condition was taken on Charpai up to Bandh and from there he was taken to District Hospital, Ballia in a tempo.Alter medical examination he got prepared report from Madan Yadav and lodged the same at P.S. Kotwali.Mohan Yadav (PW 3) stated that on the date of occurrence, in the evening he along with Hira Singh deceased, Ganesh (PW- 1) and Ram Pyari (PW 6) was sitting at the house of Nand Kishore.From there they went to meet the people of the village.While returning from north when they reached in the Gali near the house of Nand Kishore, appellants Radha Mohan, Devendra, Tej Bahadur, Kapil Deo and Kaushal Kishore came there from southern side.Radha Mohan was having spear, Devendra was having Pharsa, Kapil Deo and Tej Bahadur were having Lathis and Kaushal Kishore was having knife.Raising exhortation, itadha Mohan inflicted spear blow on Hira Singh, Devendra Singh inflicted Pharsa blow on him.When Ganesh (PW 1) rushed to save his brother Kapil Deo and Tej Bahadur assaulted him with Lathi.When the witnesses tried to intervene, Kaushal Kishore appellant inflicted knife blow on him, which hit on his hand.Kapil Deo and Tej Bahadur inflicted Lathi blows on Ram Pyari, who sustained injuries.Nand Kishore (PW 5) Ram Jee (PW 4) and Jagdish Singh also came to the spot and then the appellants ran towards east.Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and Hira Singh were taken to hospital.He and Ram Jee went to hospital on next day, where they were medically examined.Ram Jee Singh (PW 4) stated that on the date of occurrence at about sun set, he reached at the house of Nand Kishore to meet him.He heard alarm from the Gali towards east of the house of Nand Kishore and went there.There he saw that Radha Mohan, Mutuk Singh, (Devendra Singh) Tej Bahadur, Kapil Deo Singh and Kaushal Kishore Singh appellants were assaulting Hira Singh.Radha Mohan was having spear, Mutuk Singh was having Pharsa, Kapil Deo and Tej Bahadur Singh were having Lathis and Kaushal Kishore Singh was having knife.Radha Mohan and Mutuk Singh had assaulted Hira Singh.Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was assaulted by Kapil Deo and Tej Bahadur.Kaushal Singh had inflicted knife blow on Mohan (PW 3) and Kapil Deo Singh had inflicted Lathi blow on Ram Pyari (PW 6).Besides him Nand Kishore (PW 5) and Jagdish Singh had also reached the spot and seeing them, the appellants ran away.Nand Kishore (PW 5) stated that on the date of occurrence, Hira Singh was murdered and Ganesh Singh was assaulted.But he did not know whether Mohan and Ram Pyari were also assaulted.He came to know about the occurrence when he returned to his house and had not seen the actual assault.The witness was declared hostile by the prosecution.Ram Pyari (PW 6) stated that he had not seen the occurrence.He was also declared hostile.The motive alleged in the F.I'.R. was that the appellants had old enmity with Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and the deceased, regarding litigations and village party Bandi.The appellants were always tiying to suppress Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and the deceased.In his evidence Ganesh Singh (PW 1) stated that prior to 5 days of the occurrence Radha Mohan, Kaushal Kishore appellants and others had assaulted one Udai Narain of his village and he was witness of the prosecution of the said assault.Radha Mohan and others were pressurizing him not to become witness in the said case.But he was not acceding to their pressure.On the date of occurrence, the appellants Radha Mohan and Kaushal Kishore again asked Hira Singh deceased to persuade his brother not to give evidence against them.Hira Singh refused and on it, they threatened him to teach a lesson.Enmity beween the parties is not disputed.It is also clear from the cross-examination of Ganesh Singh (PW 1) that Sudama Singh and his wife had initiated a criminal case of Marpit against Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and his brothers, in which father of appellant Mutuk Singh was witness.There was also a civil litigation between Sudama Singh and Ram Jee Singh, in which Sachchida Singh, father of Mutuk Singh was witness.Another criminal case was initiated against Mutuk Singh and his father, in which Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was cited as a witness.It was also suggested on behalf of the appellants to Ganesh Singh (PW 1) that besides him, Ram Jee Singh and Mahabir were also witnesses in the case of assault on Udai Narain.The appellants had also admitted in their statement under Section 313, Cr.P.C. that they were falsely implicated on account of enmity.Therefore, enmity between the parties is not disputed.However, the fact that Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was witness in the case of assault on Udai Narain against appellants Radha Mohan and others is not mentioned in the F.I.R. but it is admitted to appellants that Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was witness in the case of assault on Udai Narain, but they had not assaulted.Therefore, it cannot be said that the factum of assault by appellant.Radha Mohan and others on Udai Narain and Ganesh Singh (PW 1) being witness of the prosecution in the said case was introduced for the first time.Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was interrogated in the said case by the I.O. prior to the date of occurrence.Though there was no date of evidence in the Court in near future, but there is no evidence on record to show that charge-sheet was not submitted in the case.There is also no evidence on record to show that a final report was submitted in the said case.In case the police had interrogated Ganesh Singh (PW 1) in the said case of assault on Udai Narain, it had given apprehension to the appellants that he would appear as witness against them in the Court also and in these circumstances they had to take every steps to win him over, so that they could not be punished in the said case.It was further contended that in case Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was witness against the appellants, the appellants had no occasion to pressurize his brother Hira Singh, who was residing at Calcutta and had come to his village for a short period and as such there was no motive against Hira Singh.There appears no force in the above contention.Admittedly Hira Singh was elder brother of Ganesh Singh (PW 1).If Ganesh Singh (PW 1) was not conceding to the pressure of appellants, the appellants in all probabilities had thought it proper to ask his elder brother, who had come to village, to pressurize him in this regard and when Hira Singh also did not agree to their proposal, it was but natural for the appellants to teach him a lesson.There is also evidence on record that the appellants were influential persons of the village and persistence of Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and his brother Hira Singh deceased to give evidence against them would have badly hurt their ego and they would have decided to teach a lesson to them.Even that apart, in this case ample materials are on record to show that the family of the appellants and the deceased were not in good terms and had strained relationship over civil and criminal litigations which itself is more than sufficient to constitute the motive as well.Moreover, in this case there is direct witness and therefore the motive element does not play such an important role as to cast any doubt on the credibility of the prosecution witness even if there be any doubt in this regard.Therefore, the motive alleged by the prosecution was probable and immediate.The omission regarding above motive in the F.I.R. is not very much material firstly; because the facturn of Ganesh Singh (PW 1) being a witness in the case of assault on Udai Naraln is admitted and the facts and circumstances in which the report was lodged there was every possibility that informant would have not.thought it necessary to mention this motive in detail in the F.I.R and therefore, the omission of this motive Is not very much material and it cannot be said that this motive was subsequently introduced.The occurrence in this case allegedly took place at about sun set and the F.I.R. was lodged at 10.30 p.m., while the distance of police station was only 6 miles (10 Km.).The learned counsel for the appellants contended that there was delay in lodging the report.It is clear from the evidence of Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and other ocular witnesses that occurrence took place at about sun set.Hira Singh deceased had sustained spear and pharsa injuries in the incident and after the occurrence a Charpai was arranged on which the deceased was brought up to Bandh and from there he was taken to District Hospital, Ballia in a tempo.The deceased as well as Ganesh Singh (PW 1) were medically examined in the District Hospital at 9 p.m. and 9.50 p.m. respectively and thereafter Ganesh Singh (PW 1) came to police station, where he got prepared the report and lodged the same.It was clarified by Ganesh Singh (PW 1) in his evidence that though buses for Ballia were available at the Bandh, but on the date of occurrence it was Holi festival and therefore, no bus or rickshaw was plying.It was also clarified that there were many rickshaws and tempos in his village, but on account of Holi festival,.no rickshaw or tempo was available.That he had to wait for tempo at the Bandh for about 2 hours.He further clarified that he along with his brother reached District Hospital, Ballia near about 9 p.m. Thus, the non availability of rickshaw and tempo in the village of occurrence has been fully explained.is a matter of common experience that on.Holi festival rickshaw pullers and tempo drivers are busy in celebrating festival and they do not ply their rickshaw and tempo on said day.Thus, the circumstances in which informant Ganesh Singh (PW 1) and deceased Hira Singh were brought to District Hospital and thereafter,' report was lodged, the delay, if any, has been fully explained.The learned counsel for the appellants pointed out that the explanation offered by Ganesh Singh (PW 1) does not appear correct, as according to the witness, the distance of Bandh from the place of occurrence is only about 500 yards and the informant must have reached there at about 6.30 p.m. and it is also admitted to him that distance of police station was only 7 miles and therefore, this distance could have been covered within half an hour.But no inference can be drawn simply by picking up certain sentence from the evidence of a witness.The witnesses are villagers.They stated timing on their speculation and there could be some difference in the timing given by such type of witnesses.Method of mathematical calculation cannot be applied on these witnesses and therefore, by applying mathematical formula the testimony of above witnesses on the point of explanation of delay in lodging the report cannot be disbelieved.As mentioned above, it has also been fully explained by Ganesh Singh (PW 1) as to why he had to wait for about 2 hours for conveyance at the Bandh.Therefore, there is no force in the above contention.The next contention of the learned counsel for the appellants was that the occurrence had taken place in the darkness and nobody had seen the assault.In the F.I.R. the time of occurrence is given at about sun set.Ganesh Singh (PW 1) has stated in his evidence that the occurrence took place at about sun set, while he along with his brother Hira Singh and Mohan (PW 3) and Ram Pyari (PW 6) were proceeding towards the house of Nand Kishore (PW 5).Mohan Yadav (PW 3) also stated in his examination -in-chief that the occurrence took place in the evening.In his cross-examination, he stated that Hira Singh and Ganesh Singh (PW 1) came to the house of Nand Kishore (PW 5) prior to one hour of the sun set.However, his cross-examination was deferred for next day and in his next day's cross-examination he stated that sun had set pior to one and half hour, of the occurrence.However, the witness was declared hostile by the prosecution and was cross- examined.Ram Jee Singh (PW 4) also stated in his examination in-chief that occurrence took place at about sun set, Nand Kishore (PW 5) and Ram Pyari (PW 6) have not supported prosecution case and were declared hostile.Ram Pyari (PW 6) stated that occurrence took place in the night and three Gharis night had passed when the occurrence took place.On the basis of above evidence it was contended that occurrence took place in the darkness.It is relevant to mention at this stage that Mohan (PW 3) changed his previous version about time of occurrence in his cross-examination of next day, and therefore, the possibility that by next day, he was won over and pressurized by the appellants cannot be easily ruled out.Ram Pyari (PW 6) though injured witness had not supported the prosecution case and he was declared hostile.But the Court has at least to be aware that prima facie, a witness who makes different statements at different times has no regard for truth.His evidence has to be read and considered as a whole with a view to find out whether any weight should be attached to the same.The Court should be slow to act on the testimony of such a witness and, normally, it should look for corroboration to his evidence.The High Court has accepted the testimony of the hostile witnesses as gospel truth for throwing overboard the prosecution case which had been fully established by the testimony of several eye-witnesses, which was of unimpeachable character.The approach of the High Court, in dealing with the case, to say the least, is wholly fallacious.""If the evidence of Mohan (P. W. 3) is considered as a whole, it would appear that he is an injured witness and sustained injuries in the same transaction and had also supported the case of the prosecution in his earlier statement.As held above, the possibility that after first day's cross-examination, witness was pressurized and was won over can also not.be ruled out.The perusal of entire evidence of the witness shows that he had corroborated the testimony of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1).The learned counsel for the appellants further contended that Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) has admitted In his cross-examination that he started from his house for meeting people on Holi festival at 4.30-5 p.m. That he visited about 10 houses.That he spent about 1 or 2 minutes at each house and it took about 2 hours and therefore, he could not reach the place of occurrence prior to 6.30 or 7 p.m. Having considered the evidence of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) I find that above contention is not correct.The witness stated that he started from the house of Nand Kishore (P.W. 5) at about 4.30-5 p.m. He denied the suggestion of appellants that it took about 2 hours to complete the visit.Further, he stated that he returned within 1 1/2 hours.He also stated that there was no singing at the houses which he visited and thus in all probabilities he returned and reached the place of occurrence at about 6.15 p.m. In the months of March when the occurrence took place sun sets at about 6 p.m. and there is twilight for about 30 minutes after sun sets and therefore at the time of occurrence there was sufficient light.It is not disputed that the appellants and the witnesses are of the same village and the appellants were well known to the witnesses.It is also not disputed that occurrence had taken place on the day of Holi festival.Holi occurs on succeeding day of Purnima (full moon night) and on that day, the moon rises just after the sun set.The occurrence had taken place at about sun set and the report was lodged at 10.30 p.m. Informant Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) has explained that after the occurrence arrangement for a Charpai was made and deceased Hira Singh, who was in injured condition was brought up to Bandh on the said Charpai.There they waited for conveyance for about 2 hours and then got tempo and reached the hospital.After medical examination of the deceased and the informant he went to polfs.e station, got prepared the report and lodged the same.The evidence of Shamsher Singh, Head Constable (P.W. 9) shows that the informant Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) handed overwritten report (Ext. Ka 1) at the police station at 10.30 p.m. on the basis of which he prepared a chik, FIR and made an endorsement of the same at the G.D. report.The evidence of Dr. M.A.R. Siddiqui (P.W. 2) shows that Hira Singh was examined at 9 p.m. and Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) was examined at 9.50 p.m. Informant Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) went to police station after his medical examination.Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) stated that it took about 30 minutes to get the FIR prepared.Thus, in all probabilities, the report would have been lodged at 10.30 p.m. It is also established from the evidence of Shamsher Singh, Head Constable (P.W. 9) that after lodging of the report, a memo was received from the hospital at 10.35 p.m. regarding admission of Hira Singh in hospital and another memo was received at 12.10 p.m. regarding death of Hira Singh deceased, on the basis of which the case was altered under Section 302, IPC, vide G. D. report (Ext. Ka-21).He further stated in his cross-examination that special report of the case was sent at 3.10 a.m. through Constable Nagina Ram, who returned back at the police station at 7.15 a.m. The special report was probably sent after altering the case under Section 302, IPC.The case was altered under Section 302, IPC at 00.10 a.m. and some time must have been taken in preparing special report, deploying constable and sending the same.Sending special report at 3.10 a.m. suggests that FIR was lodged at the time alleged by the prosecution.The learned counsel for the appellants contended that informant Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) was medically examined at 9.50 p.m. and thereafter he came to police station Kotwali; that Police Station Kotwali is at a considerable distance from the hospital and therefore, no report could be registered at 10.30 p.m. at the instance of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1), who admitted that it took about 30 minutes in preparation of the report.There is no evidence on record to show that P.S. Kotwali, Ballia is at a considerable distance from District Hospital, Ballia.The distance between hospital and police station has not been elicited from any of the witness.Judicial notice be taken of the fact that Ballia is a small city and without any evidence regarding above distance, it cannot be inferred that police station Kotwali is at a considerable distance from the hospital.In small cities like Ballia the distance of Kotwali could be covered within 10 or 15 minutes.Therefore, there is no force ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+ he further stated that sending of G. D. report and chik, FIR along with inquest report is not necessary, the lodging of the report at 10.30 p.m. cannot be doubted, as the special report was sent in the same night at 3.10 a.m. No clarification was sought from Sub-Inspector Ram Sabad Singh (P.W. 7) as to how and under what circumstances interpolations were made in Sections of the crime in the inquest report.Unless clarification is sought, it cannot be said that Sub- Inspector Ram Sahad Singh (P.W. 7) himself had made interpolation.Therefore, on this basis, it cannot be said that FIR was not lodged at the time alleged by the prosecution and it was not in existence till the preparation of inquest report.Thus, from the above evidence and discussions it is clear that the FIR was lodged at the time alleged by the prosecution and there was no ante timing.To substantiate the manner of occurrence and complicity of appellants, the prosecution has relied on ocular testimony of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1), Mohan (P.W. 3), Ram Jee Singh (P.W. 4), Nand Kishore (P.W. 5) and Ram Pyari (P.W. 6).Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) is the complainant and real brother of the deceased.He claimed that at the time of occurrence, he along with his elder brother Hira Singh deceased was returning to his house after meeting the people of the village on the occasion of Holi and when he and the deceased reached near the house of Nand Kishore at about sun set, the occurrence took place.In his statement the witness had given each and every detail of the occurrence, weapon possessed by each of the appellants and role played by each of them.He is also injured witness and his injuries were examined just after examination of injuries of the deceased at 9.50 p.m. in the same night.He had also taken deceased up to the hospital.He went to the police station and lodged the report.The witness has categorically stated that while appellants Radha Mohan was inflicting spear blow on the deceased, he tried to save him and then appellant Tej Bahadur Singh and Kapil Deo Singh inflicted Lathi blows on him.The injuries sustained by witness, as stated by Dr. M.A.R. Siddiqui (P.W. 2) were lacerated wounds and contusions and contused swelling.Dr. Siddiqui stated that these injuries were caused by blunt object except injury No. 3, which was caused by friction.The above medical evidence supports the evidence of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1).The duration of injuries of the witness and that of Hira Singh are the same.Thus, it is established that witness sustained injuries in the same transaction, in which the deceased sustained injuries.The injuries on the person of the witness in the same transaction confirms his presence on the spot.As held above, there was sufficient light and opportunity for the witness to recognize the assailants, who were known to him from before.It was pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellant that the witness stated in his cross-examination that when the assailants came near him," he recognized them and it shows that he could not see the role of each accused.The word """"Najdik"""" occurring in the statement of the witness has not been got clarified.It may be 10 paces or 2 paces.No doubt", the witness is close relative of the deceased, but this is no ground to discard his testimony.It was also contended that the witness was inimical with the appellants and therefore the accused persons were nominated on account of suspicion due to pre-existing enmity.Enmity between the parties is admitted.In this case, as held above, enmity was motive for committing the murder of the deceased and assault on the witness.As held above, there was sufficient light and witness has full opportunity to recognize the assailants and therefore, there was no question naming the appellants on account of suspicion alone.It was further contended that the witness had made certain subsequent developments in his statement, as he had not mentioned in the FIR regarding going to village along with the deceased to meet people as well as threat given by the appellants to Hira Singh.No doubt, the above facts do not find place in the FIR but this omission is not very much material.FIR is not encyclopedia of evidence of the prosecution and only gist of the occurrence is mentioned in the FIR to move the police machinery in motion.At the time of lodging of the FIR the brother of the witness was admitted in hospital in precarious condition and he had also sustained injuries and in such circumstances it was not possible for the witness to give each and every detail of the prosecution story in the FIR.The place of occurrence has been mentioned in the FIR and it is supported by the evidence of I.O. Ram Sabad Singh (P.W. 7), but found blood and trodden earth at the spot.The place of occurrence has also not been seriously disputed.It was further contended that Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) stated that during course of Marpit appellant Kaushal Kishore inflicted knife blow on Mohan (P.W. 3) and the latter caught hold the knife, but the medical evidence of Dr. S. P. Singh (P.W. 11) and injury report of Mohan shows that he had sustained lacerated wounds and no incised wound.The witness has stated in his cross examination that Mohan had caught hold knife, but he could not snatch it.There is nothing on record to show that knife was pulled.While Mohan had caught hold and in case the knife is not pulled in such a way, it could not cause incised wound.The lacerated wounds of Mohan (P.W-3) were on left middle finger and left ring finger.Therefore, in all probabilities, these injuries were caused when he had caught hold knife.Therefore, on this ground, the testimony of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) cannot be discarded.The learned counsel for the appellants contended that according to evidence of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) deceased was assaulted with spear and Pharsa but his injury report and evidence of Dr. M.A.R. Siddiqui (P.W. 2) shows that deceaed had sustained only two incised wounds and no punctured, penetrating or stab wound and there was no spear injury.Therefore, evidence of Ganesh Singh is contradictory to medical evidence.This contention bears no force in view of evidence of Dr. Prem Prakash (P.W. 10) and postmortem report.Dr. Siddiqui (P.W. 2) described injury No. 2 as incised wound 3x2 cm x bone deep on left side chest.Dr. Prem Prakash (P.W. 10) stated that ante-mortem injury No. 21 was stitched wound 3 cm.long on left side chest.He found that on removal of stitches there was a stab wound 3x2 cm x chest cavity deep on left side of front of chest 1 cm below clavicle and 5 cm.below to mid line.Margins of wound were well defined.It is therefore clear that from outer appearance injury No. 2 of injury report corresponding to injury No. 1 of post mortem report resembled as incised wound, but in fact it was a stab wound.Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) had stated in his cross-examination that blade of spear was about 3 Anguls (about 1xh inches) wide.It means that spear had pointed as well as sharp edge and therefore it caused incised as well as stab wound.Therefore, one injury of the deceased was caused by spear.Thus, the evidence of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) is in conformity with medical evidence.The evidence of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) also finds corroboration from medical evidence, FIR and other circumstances of the case referred to above.Therefore, his evidence is clear, cogent and trust worthy.As mentioned above, the witness had given each and every detail of the occurrence in his examination-in-chief as well as in the cross-examination of first day.However, when he was cross-examined on next day, he stated that due to darkness he could not see whether Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) had fallen down or not.He also stated that there was complete darkness at the time of occurrence and he could not recognize the assailants.But as mentioned above, the evidence of witness cannot be discarded in toto simply because he was declared hostile.A perusal of entire evidence of the witness shows that on the next day, he was made to say something in favour of appellants, as he appears to have been won over.The subsequent evidence of the witness that there was complete darkness on the spot is totally belied by the fact that the night of occurrence was moon lit night and occurrence had taken in the open place and therefore, there was no question of pitch dark.The assailants were also known persons to the witness.He had also sustained injuries and presence of the witness on the spot cannot be doubted and his subsequent statement was due to influence of appellants and therefore, entire testimony of the witness cannot be discarded on this ground.It was further contended by the learned counsel for the appellants that the injuries of the witness do not support that he was assaulted with knife.As mentioned above the witness stated that he had caught hold edged portion of the knife, but he clarified that Kaushal Kishore suddenly snatched the knife and in these circumstances, lacerated injuries were caused on his left middle and ring fingers.The learned counsel for the appellants contended that injuries of Mohan (P.W. 3) were examined on next day i.e. 15- 3-1979 and it indicates that his injuries were subsequently prepared to make him an eyewitness.The I. O. Sheo Shankar Singh (P.W. 8) clarified that he interrogated Mohan (P.W. 3) on next day and since he had sustained injuries he sent him for medical examination.The injuries of the witness were not serious and being Holi festival if the witness did not go to hospital in the night of occurrence, no adverse inference can be drawn and considering duration of his injuries it cannot be said that his injuries were prepared subsequently.Therefore, the evidence of Mohan (P.W. 3) to the extent he corroborated prosecution story is believable.The next witness is Ram Jee Singh (P.W. 4).The trial Court had not relied on the testimony of this witness on the ground that he had enmity with the appellants, his house was at some distance and therefore he was a chance witness and that there were discrepancies between his statement under Section 161, Cr.P.C. and given in the Court.It is true that the witness had some enmity with the appellants and he had also his house at some distance.But the witness has given plausible explanation for his presence on the spot.The discrepancies between his statement under Section 161, Cr.P.C. and in the Court are not very much material.Though he had not sustained any injury, but he cannot be termed a chance witness.The name of the witness finds place in the FIR.Even that apart the prosecution story is established from other eye-witnesses referred to above.The other two witnesses of the occurrence namely Nand Kishore (P.W. 5) and Ram Pyari (P.W. 6) have not supported the prosecution story and therefore their evidence is of no avail.It was further contended by the learned counsel for the apellants that on the date of occurrence some children of Hindu community had thrown colour on Sageer and Meer Hasan, members of Muslim community and on account of it, some altercation had taken place and it appears that Hira Singh deceased and other injured had sustained injuries in the above altercation.Having considered the evidence on record I find no force in the above contention.The appellants had nowhere stated in their statements under Section 313, Cr.P.C. that Hira Singh deceased and other injured witness sustained injuries in the Marpit between Hindu and Muslim communities.A half hearted suggestion was given to Mohan (P.W. 3) that children of the family of Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) had thrown coloured water on Sageer and Meer Hasan in which some altercation (Jhanjhat) had taken place.But there is no suggestion that either Hira Singh or any other injured sustained injuries in the said altercation.There is also no evidence to prove this fact.It has also not been clarified that the above altercation took place at the time of occurrence or prior to it.Therefore, above alleged altercation cannot be linked with the occurrence of this case and it cannot be said that Hira Singh and other injured sustained injuries in the said altercation.Had it been so, Ganesh Singh (P.W. 1) informant, the real brother of the deceased, would have not spared the real assailants.It is true that the fatal injuries on the deceased was caused by Radha Mohan and Devendra alias Mutuk Singh by spear and Pharsa respectively and deceased had not sustained any other injuries, but the evidence on record shows that all the appellants had simultaneously come to the spot armed with various weapons and had caused injuries from their respective weapons to the deceased and other injured.Therefore, there was active participation by all the appellants and they had shared common object to unlawful assembly, to which they were members.Therefore, the appellants were rightly convicted and sentenced under various Sections with the aid of Section 149, IPC.Thus," the guilt of all the appellants have been established and they were rightly convicted and sentenced by the Trial Court.""","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in

+"1. Admit.Heard forthwith with the consent of the learned counsel for respective parties.The applicants pray for to quash and set aside the order dated 29/07/2011 passed by the learned J. M F C Court no 2, Chandur Bazaar under section 437(5) of the Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, in Crime No. 35 of 2011 whereby the bail granted earlier in favour of the applicants was cancelled.The court considered the application for cancellation on the ground that there was complaint as to violation of the bail order as they were not to enter village Kharpi till the filing of the charge-sheet by the Shirasgaon Police in the case.The court found the ground pleaded by the complainant as doubtful and without merits.But on the ground that the offence appeared serious punishable with imprisonment for life, the court decided to cancel the bail.The applicants prayed, in the alternative, for the order of anticipatory bail.3. Heard submissions at the Bar.The facts appear as under :-::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:58:12 :::FIR No. 35 of 2011 was lodged on 02/07/2011 at Shirasgaon Police Station in District Amravati by first informant Sheikh Sattar Sheikh Karim under section 324,147,148,149 of the IPC against applicants on the ground that they had raised quarrel over the boundary of the agricultural field and the access road and assaulted first informant, and family members by means of axe, iron pipe,and sticks.Learned JMFC, Chandur Bazaar was pleased to grant conditional bail in favour of the applicants upon execution of bond in the sum of Rs 15000/- and furnishing a solvent surety by each of them and a conditions were added that they will not enter Kharpi village till the filing of the charge-sheet in the case and shall not tamper with evidence.Warning was given that if they enter in the Kharpi village till the charge sheet is filed, their bail shall be cancelled.After recording supplementary statement and perusal of the C.T. Scan, medical document and certificate as to the nature of the injury caused to head of the first informant, on 19/07 2011 section 307 IPC was introduced in the accusations made earlier.Police sought to arrest the accused again for investigation and prayed for to cancel the bail granted earlier.The first informant applied for cancellation of the bail on the ground that the offence is serious, punishable with life imprisonment and alleged that the accused have managed the police to register simple offence under ::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:58:12 ::: 4 section 324 of the IPC instead of under section 307 of IPC and further on the ground that the accused gave threat to kill complainant and his relatives.However the first informant failed to substantiate the grounds pleaded by him.Heavy reliance is placed for the applicants upon the ruling of the Supreme Court in Dolat Ram v. State of Haryana: (1995) 1 SCC 349 in which it is held as under:-::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:58:12 :::Rejection of bail in a non-bailable case at the initial stage and the cancellation of bail so granted, have to be considered and dealt with on different basis.Very cogent and overwhelming circumstances are necessary for an order directing the cancellation of the bail, already granted.Generally speaking, the grounds for cancellation of bail, broadly (illustrative and not exhaustive) are:interference or attempt to interfere with the due course of administration of justice or evasion or attempt to evade the due course of justice or abuse of the concession granted to the accused in any manner.The satisfaction of the court, on the basis of material placed on the record of the possibility of the accused absconding is yet another reason justifying the cancellation of bail.However, 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 bail during the trial.""::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:58:12 :::However, bail granted illegally or improperly by a wrong, arbitrary exercise of judicial discretion can be cancelled even if there is absence of supervening circumstances.If there is no material to prove that the accused abused his freedom court may not cancel the bail.::: Downloaded on - 09/06/2013 17:58:12 :::In the present case, it would be pertinent to note that there was alteration in the penal provision as section 307 was invoked later instead of Section 324 of the I.P. C. but no city scan report was produced of alleged injury.The police did not ask for P.C.R. but had asked for M.C. R.

Aggarwal.During the course of postmortem examination, this witness found:-(i) A lacerated wound of 4 cm x 2 cm bone deep on the back side of the head, 10 cm behind left ear.(ii) Occipital bone was found fractured.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 19 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 19 of 51(iii) A defused tranatic swelling 10 cm x 6 cm in area on the right side head just above ear was also found and the bone was also fractured from this point.On internal examination this doctor found:-(iv) The brain was liquefied and a blood clot was present.(v) Death was due to coma as a result of ante mortem injuries 3-4 days prior to the date of autopsy.So, as per medical evidence," the death of Vijay Bajaj was due to coma as a result of antemortem injury.The FSL report Ex.PW45/B dated 21.02.2003 on the Parcel 5 and Parcel 6 reads as under:Parcel No.6: One 8 mm/.315"""" cartridge marked exhibit A1 and four improvised cartridges marked exhibits A2 to A5.""""Similarly", another FSL report dated 29.01.2003 was received.As far as exhibit 3 gauze cloth piece, the species of original is Human," but no reaction/remark is shown for ABO Group.The same reads as under: CRL.Exhibit 1a : One dirty shirt Exhibit 1b : One pair of shoes Parcel 2 : One sealed cloth parcel sealed with the seal of """"D.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 20 of 51Singh U.P.P. containing exhibits 2a and 2b.Exhibit 2a : One dirty foul smelling pants with belt.Exhibit 2b : One dirty foul smelling underwear Parcel 3 : One sealed cloth parcel sealed with the seal of """"RNV"""" containing exhibit 3"," kept in a plastic container.Exhibit 3 : Gauze cloth piece having brown stains described as """"blood lifted car""""""""RNV"""" said to contain Desi Katta sent in original to Ballistics Division Parcel 6 : One sealed cloth parcel sealed with the seal of """"RNV"""" containing exhibit 6 Exhibit 6 : Five bullets RESULT OF ANALYSISBlood was detected on exhibit 3 CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 21 of 51In the morning both the accused persons parked the vehicle of the deceased with blood stains of the deceased on it in a parking lot at Haridwar and stayed in a hotel under fictitious identity.(ii) Their disclosures led to the discovery of dead body of deceased Vijay and it was found to have the same injuries as were disclosed by the accused persons to have been inflicted on his head.(iii) The dead body was found at the same place where the accused disclosed to have thrown it in the jurisdiction of PS Jarcha.(iv) With the help of the wearing apparels and other articles the dead body was a uniquely and unambiguously identified as that of the deceased Vijay Bajaj", particularly consequent to the identification by PW-4 Vishal Rajpal.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 22 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 22 of 51(v) In the ensuing morning the accused Sapna and Satyajeet were found present in the town of Haridwar with the car of the deceased Vijay Bajaj in which they were seen accompanying the deceased just prior to the incident.(vi) This car was found to be having blood on its rear right door.The possession of the car of the deceased Vijay and that too with the presence of blood stains, found from the constructive possession of the accused Satyajeet and Sapna, transmit a burden on the accused persons to show the circumstances in which that car and those blood stains on the door of the car appeared.(vii) Accused persons Sapna and Satyajeet have been shown by the prosecution to be running from one place to the other after causing death of the deceased Vijay Bajaj.U/s 10 Evidence Act this is a relevant fact and the accused persons could never discharge the burden so cast upon them to show the necessity of assuming fictitious identifies and being in a state of restless running from here to there after the death of accused Vijay Bajaj was caused.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 23 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 23 of 51(viii) Prior to this, the prosecution was able to prove that Sapna was making efforts of collecting Diazepam sleeping pills.It was shown that such pills were procured also.Some of such pills were found from the possession of Sapna and Satyajeet at Lucknow which were seized by that police vide document Ex.PW 23/A. Here the accused Sapna was found in possession of Calmpose pills which are used to induce sleep.Calmpose is the brand name of the same generic chemical known as Diazepam.Prosecution had shown that they were used to impair the deceased Vijay Bajaj.(ix) Both the accused persons were duly sheltered and assisted by the third accused Yunus during their hightailing from one point to the other.Right from the time when Yunus provided Katta to the accused Sapna and Satyajeet for causing death of Vijay Bajaj, Yunus remained in their contact until they both left for Lucknow.This proved the scope, extent and liability CRL.(xi) The accused persons took the phone of the deceased Vijay Bajaj and sold it for Rs.3300/- at the shop of PW 2 Gurpreet Singh.(xii) The disclosure statements of the accused persons Satyajeet and Sapna were recorded at two places.Initially at Lucknow in a document Ex.PW-23/A on 19.07.02 and thereafter in Delhi in documents Ex.The case of the prosecution against the appellants was based on circumstantial evidence.It is pertinent to mention here that despite opportunity being being granted to the appellants, there was no cross-examination on their behalf.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 31 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 32 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 34 of 51After the arrest of Sapna and Satyajeet on 19.07.2002 at lunch, they were lodged in jail.PW-28 SI Yashbir Singh applied for permission in the court of MM, Karkardooma Court, Delhi, to bring the said accused persons to Delhi.The copy of application is Ex.PW- 28/A. Both the accused were brought to Delhi by him and were produced before the court in Delhi and both were remanded to police custody for eight days.In the disclosure statements recorded on 21.07.2002, they informed that they could get the dead body of deceased Vijay recovered from a small canal.On the basis of the disclosure CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 35 of 51 statements Ex.PW-20/A (Satyajeet) and Ex.PW-20/B (Sapna), they were arrested on the same day.The arrest memos are Ex.PW-20/C (Satyajeet) and Ex.PW-20/D (Sapna).A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 35 of 51The prosecution proved that prior to their arrest on 16.07.2002, the dead body was recovered within the jurisdiction of Police Station Jarcha.The clothes of the dead body were also identified by the family members, particularly PW-4 Vishal Rajpal.Before the arrival of Delhi Police at Police Station Jarcha, a dead body had already been recovered by Jarcha police on the above mentioned place and a Panchnama Ex.PW-26/A was prepared and the dead body was sent for postmortem examination.PW-27 SI Brij Pal Singh seized the shirt and shoes of the deceased vide Ex.PW-27/B, photographs Ex.PW-27/C and Ex.PW-27/D were also taken.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 36 of 51We must mention here that no doubt while delivering the impugned judgment, the learned trial judge at various places has referred to disclosure statements as confessional statements, which is not permissible.After disclosure statements made by the accused Sapna Talwar and Satyajeet @ Lovely before Delhi Police on 21.07.2002, the accused persons thereafter led PW-45 ACP Ramniwas Vashisht and his team to a place near Dadri, U.P. on 23.07.2002 and pointed out a place where site plan was prepared and also took them to CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 37 of 51 another place near a Canal which was at a distance of about 2-2 kilometers from that place.PW-28/C was also prepared and while returning to Delhi, both accused took them to the house of Yunus at 1743, Gali No.1, Islam Nagar, Ghaziabad, who was present in his house.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 38 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 38 of 51On the basis of the disclosure statement Ex.On 25.07.2002, both the accused then took the team to Subzi Mandi, Chander Nagar.Accused Satyajeet pointed out one shop of Chander Bhan.Thereafter, they led the team to Haq Clinic number 7A, Dilshad Garden, Delhi, where the statement of Islam was recorded.On 26.07.2002, both the accused led the team to shop No.S4, BS Complex, GT Road, Ghaziabad.Accused Satyajeet pointed out that shop.One Gurpreet met them there who identified both the accused and statement of Gurpreet was also recorded.On 28.07.2002, they led the team to Hotel Pelican, Ghaziabad and pointed out the same.The Manager-cum- Receptionist Anil Kumar met them there.He identified both the accused as the same who stayed there in the name of Rahul and his wife.The photocopy of the guest register produced by the manager CRL.PW-4/L.

Thereafter, both the accused led the team to Krishna lodge, Railway Road, Ghazibad, where Mr Gyan Prasad Yadav, Manager of the said lodge, met them.He identified both the accused as the same persons who stayed there in the name of Surender Singh and his wife.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 39 of 51During the course of investigation, when the vehicle parked at Haridwar was examined, it was found to have blood stains on the rear right door which was lifted vide seizure memo Ex.PW-4/P and subsequently, this was confirmed to be human blood by the FSL report.It is pertinent to mention here that for the period from 13.07.2002 to 18.07.2002, there was no explanation on behalf of the appellants Sapna Talwar and Satyajeet @ Lovely that why they were moving from one place to another.From the aforesaid incriminating material and circumstances, it is clearly established by the prosecution that the murder of Vijay Bajaj was committed by Sapna Talwar and Satyajeet @ Lovely.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 40 of 51The prosecution has also been able to establish that accused Sapna Talwar and Satyajeet @ Lovely committed the offence under Section 201 IPC because they had caused the death of the deceased and after having the knowledge of the said fact, they caused disappearance of evidence after offence of murder by throwing the dead body in the water.In view of the testimonies of the witnesses, it is clear that the prosecution has been able to establish on record beyond reasonable doubt that both the accused Sapna Talwar and Satyajeet @ Lovely have committed the offences under Section 302 r/w 120B and 201 IPC.(iii) Yunus made a disclosure statement Ex.These purported circumstances seen together, in the view of the trial court, clearly established that the accused Yunus was in contact with Sapna and Satyajeet and that he was assisting them; he was providing all the material and instrumental help to them; he provided a telephone and on its disruption a second one also.He also provided them a Katta.PW4/G and PW4/H at point C. He was cross examined by the Special Public Prosecutor for the State and he denied all the suggestions made by him before the court.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 44 of 51A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 44 of 51The defence witnesses DW-1 Mohd. Mehmood and DW-2 Rashid were examined by the appellant Yunus.They deposed that they are neighbours of the family of Mohd. Yunus and in the intervening night of 18.07.2002 and 19.07.2002 at about 2:30-3:00 a.m., they saw police officials on the gate and they overpowered Yunus and took him down to the street.The neighbours also gathered there.The police officials informed that they were taking Yunus to Delhi for some inquiry.The learned trial judge in his impugned judgment acquitted him of charges under the Arms Act against him as the same stood not proved.However, he was held guilty of offence punishable under Section 120 B read with Section 34 IPC and was awarded imprisonment for life for the said offence.In nutshell, the case of prosecution against the Yunus is that he provided the katta and five cartridges to the main accused, particularly, Satyajeet, who is his friend and also alleged to have provided a mobile phone to Sapna.As per the story of prosecution, Sapna used the said mobile after putting in her own SIM card and he provided money to the accused as per Ex.PW-23/A.After having gone through the testimonies of all the witnesses and the documents on record, we do not agree with the CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 45 of 51 finding of the learned trial judge that any case against the Yunus under Section 120 B IPC is made out as the prosecution has not established its case under this provision against Yunus.Our findings are as under:A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 45 of 51a. Yunus denied the suggestion for providing country-made pistol to the other two accused persons.As per the FSL report, the said pistol was not in working condition.examination that he did not remember the date when SI Yashbir collected call details.He did not remember the number of telephone of which call details were taken.j. PW-28 SI Yashbir Singh in his testimony stated that one Mujib had given mobile phone to accused Yunus but said Mujib was not produced as a witness nor his statement was recorded.k. No experts opinion or doctors opinion, who conducted the postmortem, was obtained regarding the use of alleged katta to commit the said offence.l. PW-45 ACP Ramniwas Vashisht stated that they had parked their vehicle at a distance of 100 yards before the house of accused Yunus while PW-21 stated that they CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 48 of 51 had parked their vehicle at a distance of 500-600 yards in north side from the house of the accused Yunus.m. PW-4 Vishal Rajpal in his cross-examination deposed that they reached there, the doors of the house of Yunus were open while PW-45 ACP Ramniwas Vashisht stated that the main gate was closed when they went there.The doors were opened by Yunus from inside.n. PW-45 ACP Ramniwas Vashisht stated that three or four persons had entered inside the house and rest of them remained outside.PW-21 Constable Pritam Singh stated that they all entered into the house of the accused.o. PW-21 Constable Pritam Singh deposed in his cross-examination that there was one almirah of wood having size 2`x5` in that room whereas PW-45 ACP Ramniwas Vashisht stated in his cross-examination that the almirah was affixed in the rear wall of the room which was made of steel being of average size.p. PW-21 Constable Pritam Singh stated in his cross-examination that seizure memos were in the handwriting of SI Yashbir Tyagi while PW-4 Vishal Rajpal stated that seizure memo, sketch of country-made pistol and CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 49 of 51 cartridges, personal search memo of accused Yunus, site plan and arrest memo were made by PW-45 ACP Ramniwas Vashisht.The prosecution version in this case is doubtful as the prosecution did not join any independent witness as attesting witness to the alleged disclosure statement as well as recovery.The disclosure statement without any discovery of fact is also meaningless.Non-joining of public witness as attesting witness smacks of malafide and makes prosecution version more doubtful.The prosecution is not able to CRL.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 50 of 51 establish chain of circumstances so complete to connect the accused Yunus with the alleged offence.A. 357/2009 & 421/2009 Page 50 of 51For all these reasons, we are of the clear view that the prosecution has not been able to bring home its case against Yunus as there are many missing links and chain is far from complete.The prosecution was failed to prove any case against him under Section 120 B IPC.Therefore, we cannot hold him to be guilty merely on the basis of suspicions raised by the prosecution.The impugned judgment and order of sentence against Yunus are set aside and he is acquitted of all charges in this case.His appeal is allowed and he be set at liberty forthwith.The appeal filed by appellants Sapna Talwar and Satyajeet @ Lovely is dismissed except to the extent that they stand acquitted of the charge under Section 365 IPC.MANMOHAN SINGH, J BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J OCTOBER 12," 2011 kk/jk/sa CRL.""","['Section 120 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 365 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 364 in The Indian Penal Code']",Analyze the legal case and identify the corresponding section it comes under.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Injury No.1, whereas the postmortem records two stab wounds on the body of the deceased.The Trial Court whilst rejecting this contention and holding the testimony of PW- 6 to be consistent, credible and truthful, observed as follows:CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 23 of 30i) Rigorous Imprisonment for 7 years and fine of Rs.1,000/- for the offence punishable under the provisions of Sections CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 2 of 30 392/34 Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as 'IPC').In default of payment of fine, the Appellant No.1 has been sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of 1 month.Rs.1,000/- for the offence punishable under the provision of Section 397 IPC.In default of payment of fine, the Appellant No.2 has been sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of 1 month.i) Rigorous Imprisonment for 7 years and fine of Rs.1,000/- for the offence punishable under the provisions of Sections 392/34 IPC.In default of payment of fine, the Appellant No.3 has been sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of 1 month.ii) Imprisonment for Life and fine of Rs.2,000/- for the offence punishable under the provisions of Sections 302/34 IPC.In default of payment of fine, the Appellant No.3 has been sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for a further period of 2 months.On 04.05.2010, PW-23 recorded supplementary statement of PW-6 qua the identity of the Appellants, and on 05.05.2010 statement of PW-6 was recorded under the provisions of Section 164 of CrPC [Ex.PW6/H].The Exhibits were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (hereinafter referred to as 'the FSL').In the FSL examination [Ex.PX2] it was discovered that human blood was present on the clothes recovered at the instance of the Appellants as well as on the knife, however, the blood group could not be detected.Insofar as the post-mortem report is concerned [Ex.PW5/A], it has been stated therein that the following injuries were present on the body of the deceased:i) Incised stab wound 3.3 x 1.9 cms obliquely present over left side at chest 112 cms above heel and 8 cms from midline, chest cavity deep, margins sharp and regular, lower end acute, CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 9 of 30 directed downwards, inwards and medially (hereinafter referred to as 'Injury No.1');CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 9 of 30ii) Incised wound .5 x .1 cms oblique, present over dorsum of left hand, skin deep, margin sharp and regular (hereinafter referred to as 'Injury No.2');iii) Abrasion 0.5 x .03 cms present 1 cm above medial end of right eyebrow on forehead (hereinafter referred to as 'Injury No.3').It has been opined by Dr. Vinay Kumar Singh (PW-5) that the cause of death was haemorragic shock consequent upon stab injury to the chest; all injuries were antemortem in nature.Injury No.1 was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature and Injury Nos.1 and 2 were caused by a single edge and sharp weapon/knife.Furthermore, on internal examination the following injuries were discovered:""In continuation of Injury No.1, skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, in between 6th and 7th ribs, upper body at 7th rib, pleurae left side, pericardium and left ventricular of heart above apex, 2.8 x 1.5 cms were incised, about 2.5 litres of blood in cavity, all layers of muscle at left vertical were incised, cavity deep, chambers empty.""As per the sketch drawn by PW-5 of the knife, the length and width of the blade thereof is 20.3 cms and 3.7 cms (at most), respectively.It has also been deposed by PW-5 that Injury Nos.1 and 2 have been caused from the same weapon of offence.CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 10 of 30Furthermore, PW-5 has also tendered subsequent opinion with respect to Injury No.3 [Ex.PW5/B].It has been stated therein that the Injury No.3 could have been caused due to surface friction against a rough surface.At the trial, the prosecution has examined 23 witnesses in support of its case.The Appellant No.1 in his defence has chosen not to lead any evidence.However, it has been stated by him in his statement under the provision of Section 313 CrPC that he found the mobile phone from the bushes of the park at Sanjay Jheel; where he was playing football.The Appellant No.2 in his defence has produced Mr. Nasir Ahmed (DW-1), his employer, CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 11 of 30 who asserted that at the time of the incident Appellant No.2 was present with him in Rewari, Haryana.CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 11 of 30The Appellant No.3 in his statement, under the provision of Section 313 CrPC, whilst disputing the recovery made at his instance, has also stated that he has been falsely implicated in the present case.The Appellant No.3 in his defence has produced Md. Yasin (DW-2), his employer.It has been deposed by DW-2 that Appellant No.3 was working with him at the time of the incident.i) The testimony of PW-6, the sole eyewitness, being consistent, credible and truthful;ii) PW-6 has identified the Appellants in Court.Furthermore, PW-iii) The recovery of the mobile phone of the deceased from the Appellant No.1;CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 12 of 30""25. ...It is stated that as per PW6, only one stab wound was caused but as per P/M report Ex.PW5/A, deceased sufferred two stab wounds.PW6 has talked about only one stab injury inflicted by accused Mukesh on the chest of deceased.As per P/M report Ex.PW5/A, there is another stab injury present over dorsum of left hand and doctor opined that both injury No.1 and 2 are caused by single edged sharp weapon/knife.PW6 has stated that he pleaded with accused persons to leave them as they are not having any thing.On this, accused Akram threatened her to go away from there otherwise she will be killed.She started leaving from the spot, after taking few steps she again requested accused persons to leave them.As per PW6, she saw accused Imran and Mukesh caught hold deceased Dhiraj and accusecd Mukesh stabbed Dhiraj on his chest.Injury on the dorsum of left hand of the deceased shows that while being assaulted with knife as natural reaction to defend, deceased must have brought his hand in-between, as result of which he sustained this injury.Since PW6 was leaving from the spot and from some distance she saw accused stabbing deceased, it looks probable that she did not see accused inflicting injury No.2 i.e. on left hand of the deceased.She was cross-examined by both the Ld.The Trial Court rightly concluded that the possible reason for PW-6 not having testified to the injury on the dorsem of the left hand (Injury No.2) could be that it was caused when she started walking away from the crime spot.As rightly observed by the Trial Court, Injury No.2 could have been caused as a consequence of the deceased exercising his right of defending himself by a natural reflex action against assault by Appellant No.2 with a knife.Even otherwise, it seems only logical to conclude that Appellant No.2 was not aiming for the dorsum of his left hand.CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 25 of 30CRL.A.1315/2014, 829/2012 & 452/2013 Page 25 of 30However, insofar as the fatal injury is concerned i.e. Injury No.1, the same was caused by the Appellant No.2 using the knife [Ex.P9] recovered at his instance, whilst Appellant Nos.1 and 3 had caught hold of the deceased.The Injury No.1 was on a vital part of the body viz. left side of the chest, with a force so great that it resulted into an incise wound as large as 3.3 x 1.9 cms, and as a consequence thereof, several grave and internal injuries also resulted.The Injury No.1 so caused cannot be said to be accidental, unlike Injury No.2, as with two persons holding the deceased and a stab wound already present on the dorsum of his left hand (Injury No.2), there was not much scope of movement for a young boy of an average physique.","['Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 299 in

+"It is alleged that Pandian divorced her and contracted second marriage with one Revathy.This appears to be the motive for the accused to bear ill-will towards Pandian, while so, Pandian had reconciled with Podhumponnu.Heard the learned counsel on either side.2.Criminal Revision Petition.Criminal Revision Petition.No.31 of 2010 has been filed by the first accused questioning the judgment imposed by the trial Court and the first appellate Court finding him guilty.Since both the Criminal Revision Petitions are interlinked, this Court heard them together.But ignoring the same on 05.04.2005, at about 03.00 a.m., there was a murderous assault on the revision petitioner / victim.The revision petitioner had sustained serious injuries including head injury and three fractures.Crime No.56 of 2005, was registered on the file of the Inspector of Police, Mayanoor Police Station, karur District.The matter was investigated and final report was filed.The charges under Sections 341 and 307 were framed against accused Nos.1 and 2 while charge under Section 341 and 307 r/w 34 were framed against the third accused.http://www.judis.nic.in 44.In support of the charges, on the side of the prosecution P.W.1 to P.W.11 were marked and Ex.P.1 to Ex.P.12 were marked.M.O.1 and M.O.2 were also marked.On the side of the accused, three witnesses were examined and Ex.D1-Attendance Register was also marked.5.The learned trial Judge by judgment dated 25.01.2008 acquitted Accused Nos.2 and 3 of all the charges and found the first accused alone guilty of the charge under Section 324 I.P.C. The first accused was sentenced to undergo six months simple imprisonment and to pay a fine amount of Rs.500/- for the offence under Section 341 of I.P.C., and for the offence under Section 324 of I.P.C. he was sentenced to undergo two year rigorous imprisonment and a sum of Rs.1000/- was also imposed as fine.The default sentence was also imposed on him.6.The learned Sessions Judge by judgment dated 05.09.2008 while sustaining the conviction imposed on the first accused, has held that the period of sentence already undergone by him would be sufficient.However, the fine amount imposed by the learned trial Magistrate was confirmed.7.The learned counsel on either side reiterated the respectivehttp://www.judis.nic.in 5 contentions.As regards the second accused, he had pleaded alibi.In support of his stand, Ex.D.1-Attendance Register was also marked.He also examined the defence witnesses D.W.2 and D.W,.3, who are the Principal and Warden of the Institution, in support of his stand that he was elsewhere.The learned trial Judge after elaborate consideration of the evidence on record chose to accept the plea of alibi pleaded by the second accused.9.I am of the view that there is no necessity to interfere with the said findings.The occurrence had taken place at about 03.00 am.On 05.04.2005, on the same day, at about 02.30 p.m., Ex.P1 complaint was lodged and Ex.P.7-Firsthttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 Information Report was registered.In the complaint itself, the first accused has been implicated.If the revision petitioner was attacked by somebody, there was no need for the petitioner to implicate Muthusamy / first respondent herein.10.The learned counsel appearing for the first respondent would contend that except the testimony of P.W.1, there is no other corroborating evidence.P.W.1 is on injured witness.The injuries would speak for themselves.In any event, I am only exercising the revisional jurisdiction.Both the Courts below have clearly found that Muthusamy was guilty of the offence, with which he was charged.I cannot re- appreciate the evidence.Therefore, I confirm the conviction imposed on him.Now comes the question of punishment.The sentence certainly warrants interference.At this stage, the learned counsel appearing for the revision petitioner submits that the occurrence had taken place wayback in the year 2005 and since more than 15 years have elapsed, this Court would not be justified in sending Muthusamy to prison.Obviously, Muthsamy must be a senior citizen by now.Therefore, interest of justice will behttp://www.judis.nic.in 7 served by directing Muthusamy to pay a sum of Rs.40,000/- (Rupees Forty Thousand only) to the revision petitioner / Pandian directly within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.If the Muthusamy / Accused No.1 fails to pay this compensation amount, he will have to undergo rigorous imprisonment of one year.If the victim is not willing to accept the compensation amount directly from the accused, the accused shall deposit the same to the credit of S.C.No.17 of 2007, on the file of the learned Assistant Sessions Judge, Kulithalai, Karut District, which can be

+"ORDER G.B. Pattanaik, J.This appeal is by the informant against an order of acquittal recorded by the High Court of the charges under Sections 304B and 201, I.P.C. Six accused persons stood charge and were tried for having committed an offence under Sections 304B and 201, I.P.C. on the allegation that the deceased, Rajbala, died on account of electrocution within 7 years of her marriage and she had been subjected to cruelty and harassment by her husband as well as in -laws for demand of dowry, and that the dead body was disposed of without waiting for the parents of the deceased to arrive at the place of occurrence.PWs.1 and 2, the brother of the deceased and cousin of the deceased were two witnesses examined by the prosecution in support of the case of harassment and cruelty meted out to the deceased by her husband as well as in-laws.The learned Sessions Judge on conclusion of the trial came to the conclusion that there exists no material as against accused Nos. 5 and 6, and therefore, without examining them under Section 313 acquitted them of the charges leveled against them.So far as accused No. 3 is concerned, the learned Sessions Judge acquitted him of the charge and that order of acquittal became final not being assailed by the State by preferring an appeal in the High Court.The convicted accused persons, namely, accused Nos. 1,2 and 4 who are the mother-in-law, husband and father-in-law respectively, of the deceased preferred appeal against their conviction and sentence.The High Court by the impugned judgment came to a positive finding that the evidence on record is sufficient to establish that Rajbala during her lifetime used to be harassed by her husband and in-laws on account of insufficient dowry, and further demands used to be made.Notwithstanding the aforesaid finding being arrived at, since the prosecution evidence did not establish any unnatural circumstance for the death of the deceased, the High Court acquitted accused Nos. 1,2 and 4 of the charge under Sections 304B and 201, I.P.C. The High Court, however, convicted the accused persons under Section 498A in view of the conclusion referred to earlier and sentenced them for the period already undergone.It is this order of acquittal of accused Nos. 1,2 and 4 for the offence under Sections 304B and 201, I.P.C. which is the subject matter of appeal.2. Learned Counsel for the appellant contends that the death of the deceased undoubtedly having taken place within 7 years of marriage and that the death being on account of electrocution which is a burnt injury, and the finding of the High Court being that the husband and in-laws had harassed deceased, Rajbala, on account of insufficient dowry, and further demands used to be made, the ultimate conclusion of the High Court that the ingredients of offence under Section 304B has not been established, is unsustainable in law, therefore, the order of acquittal is wholly unjustified.In the circumstances, we set aside the order of acquittal passed by the High Court of the offence under Section 304B, I.P.C. and hold that the accused Nos. 1, 2 and 4 committed offence under Section 304B, and therefore, they are convicted thereunder and sentenced to 7 years rigorous imprisonment.They must now surrender to undergo balance period of sentence.This appeal is allowed.","['Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"P.W.1, Jharia Das deposed the victim was married to the appellant two years prior to the incident.The appellant had an illicit relation with another girl.On the date of occurrence one Rabin Saha, a neighbour from the matrimonial home of the victim informed him that the victim suffered burn injury.Rabin Saha admitted the victim at Jalpaiguir District Hospital.On getting information, P.W. 1 rushed to his daughter.His daughter was in her senses and was talking.She stated that her husband poured kerosene oil on her body and set her on fire.She died at hospital after 4/5 days.He lodged complaint at Haldibari P.S. He put his LTI on the complaint.In cross-examination, he stated that six months prior to the occurrence his daughter had given birth to a child.Unfortunately, the baby died after her birth.His daughter used to lament the loss of her baby.P.W.5, Rabindra Nath Saha & P.W.6, Gautam Dutta have been declared hostile.P.W.5 deposed that on the date of occurrence at 11 A.M./12 noon he heard a hue and cry.He came out from the house and found the victim was lying in front of a public well and her wearing apparels were being changed by local people.She had severe burn injuries on her person.She was taken to Haldibari hospital and thereafter shifted to Jalpaiguri hospital.She told him to inform her parents.Accordingly, he informed her father (P.W.1).P.W 6 claimed that the victim had suffered burn injuries at her matrimonial home.P.W. 7, Goutam Saha was a witness to seizure of burnt cloths from the house of the appellant.convicted and sentenced the appellant, as aforesaid.By the selfsame judgment and order, the co-accused persons, namely, Dinawari Biswas (mother-in-law), Smt. Sarani Biswas (sister-in-law) and Shantia Biswas (husband of the sister-in-law) were acquitted of the charges levelled against them.Prosecution case as narrated in the first information report was given a complete go by in the purported dying declaration of the victim.There is no allegation of torture for or in connection with dowry in the dying declaration.Evidence on record does not satisfy the ingredients of the offence punishable under section 498A of the IPC.Original dying declaration was not produced in court.Doctor who gave the certificate of fitness of the victim has not been examined.Hence, the dying declaration ought not to have been relied upon.Accordingly, the appellant is liable to be acquitted.Mr. Ahmed, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State argued that the dying declaration of the victim was recorded by the Sub-divisional Officer, Jalpaiguri, Sadar.Photocopy of the dying declaration duly attested by the witness has been exhibited as secondary evidence since the original was untraceable.P.W.12 enquired with regard to the fitness of the victim from the treating doctor who endorsed his satisfaction in the dying declaration in her presence.Hence all the pre-requisites for recording dying declaration were duly satisfied.From the dying declaration it appears that the appellant had an illicit relation with one Laxmi and over such issue there was an altercation between him and the victim.He poured kerosene oil on the body of the victim and tried to set her on fire.Due to such instigation the victim set herself on fire.Other evidence on record corroborate the dying declaration in all material particulars.Hence, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.Victim was physically assaulted by the appellant when she raised protest over such issue.Appellant also demanded money from the victim.As he was unable to meet such demands, victim was assaulted by the appellant and other in-laws.P.W.8, Ramesh Roy, relation of the victim who has corroborated the evidence of the aforesaid witnesses.Both of them deposed that victim was set on fire at her matrimonial home by her husband and other accused persons.He signed on the seizure list.He deposed that the victim had suffered burn injuries at her matrimonial home.P.W 12 was the sub-divisional officer of Jalpaiguri Sadar at the time of the incident.Upon receipt of requisition she came to the hospital and recorded dying declaration of the victim (Ext. 6).Prior to recording the dying declaration, she asked the attending doctor whether the victim was physically and mentally fit and conscious to make statement.Doctor replied in the affirmative and appended a note in the dying declaration.Thereafter, she proceeded to record the dying declaration.She took the LTI of the patient on the declaration.She proved the carbon copy of the original document duly attested by her as the original was untraceable.The said document was admitted as secondary evidence in terms of section 65 of the Evidence Act.P.W 13 was the autopsy doctor.He proved the post mortem report and deposed that the victim had died due to shock and hemorrhage as a result of burn injury, ante mortem in nature.He proved the inquest report (Ext9).P.Ws 9, 10 and 11 are the investigating officers in the instant case.While P.Ws 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 claimed that the victim had told them in the hospital that she had been set on fire by the appellant and other in- laws, in the written dying declaration (Ext. 6) recorded by P.W 12 she stated that there was an altercation between herself and the appellant over the issue of illicit relation between the appellant and one lady, namely Lakhsmi.In the course of altercation the appellant had doused her in kerosene oil and tried to set her on fire.At that time, she herself set her on fire.Such analysis of evidence on the part of the trial judge, in my considered opinion, is just and reasonable and does not call for interference.However, learned counsel for the appellant has seriously criticised the written dying declaration on a number of scores.It is argued that the original document was not produced in court and a carbon copy was illegally admitted into evidence.It is also submitted that the doctor who treated the patient and endorsed the certificate has not been examined.I have given anxious consideration to the aforesaid objections raised on behalf of the appellant.Objection with regard to admissibility of the attested photocopy of the dying declaration is of little substance.It has come on record that the original dying declaration kept in the office of the sub-divisional officer, Jalpaiguri was not traceable in the said office.I have gone through the evidence of P.W 1 in extenso.No challenge has been thrown to the presence of P.W 12 at the hospital on 22.3.1998 when she recorded the dying declaration.P.W. 12 handed over the attested photocopy of the dying declaration to.I.O. and the original was kept on record.At the time of trial (which was held in 2010, after about 12 years) the original document was untraceable and hence, the duly attested photocopy was accepted as secondary evidence.The procedure adopted by P.W 12 is neither unnatural nor opposed to normal human conduct.Finally, it has been argued that the attending doctor who gave certificate of fitness has not been examined.Failure to examine the attending doctor in the facts of the instant case does not affect its credibility.P.W 12 in her deposition categorically stated she had enquired of the attending doctor with regard to the consciousness and the mental fitness of the victim prior to recording her statement.The attending doctor gave his affirmation and duly made an endorsement in the presence of the said witness.Hence, the endorsement of the treating doctor which was made in the presence of P.W 12 has been duly proved by her.In these circumstances, I am of the opinion prosecution has been able to prove that the written dying declaration was duly recorded by the sub-divisional officer, P.W 12 after the certificate of fitness with regard to the consciousness and the capacity of the victim to make such statement was duly endorsed by the treating doctor in her presence.All the formalities and requisites for recording a valid dying declaration are satisfied.Perusal of the dying declaration also gives an impression that the victim had narrated the incident in an honest and bona fide manner.She did not make all her in laws responsible for her misfortune.She admitted that she had herself set her on fire and not her husband.The manner in which the dying declaration (Ext 6) was recorded in the instant case and its tenor inspires confidence that it is an honest and truthful rendition of the incident resulting in death of the victim.There was a quarrel between the couple over an illicit relation between the appellant and another lady.In the course of quarrel the appellant tried to set her on fire by dousing her in kerosene oil.Due to such conduct on the part of the appellant, the victim instigated to self immolate herself.Evidence has also come on record that over such issue the appellant had subjecting the victim to mental and physical torture.The aforesaid factual backdrop clearly shows the intention of the appellant to incite the victim to kill herself.I am unwilling to accept the suggestion made on the part of the appellant that the victim may have committed suicide as she was depressed due to the untimely death of her child in the light of the clear and unequivocal motive disclosed by the her in the dying declaration.I find no substance in such submission advanced by the appellant.In these circumstances, I am of the considered opinion that the appellant had subjected the victim to mental and physical torture over an illicit relationship between himself and another lady.He tried to kill her and under such extreme circumstances the victim was induced to commit suicide.Hence, I am inclined to uphold the conviction recorded against the appellant on the aforesaid counts.Urgent Photostat Certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied expeditiously after complying with all necessary legal formalities.","['Section 498 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 109 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The

Yadav, learned counsel for the Appellant urged at the outset, that the Trial Court findings as far as they pertained to the facts go, cannot be assailed, because PW-1 Inderjeet Chawla, the injured witness, and PW-5 as well as PW-7, brothers of the deceased, supported the prosecution about the attack which took place.Counsel urged that though there were some variations in the testimonies of these witnesses, they did not undermine the basic story about how Parveen had been attacked.It was however urged that the Trial Court fell into error in not noticing that the Court witnesses' depositions had clearly shown that the Appellant was not in his senses.Court witness No.2 was the doctor who had treated the Appellant even before the incident; he deposed about his mental illness.Even after his conviction, when he was undergoing sentence, the Appellant was a psychiatric patient, who underwent regular treatment.The Court should have given these serious consideration; instead the impugned judgment does not reflect any application of mind.It was argued next that even if the prosecution is said to have proved all the facts alleged in this case, at best the Appellant could have been justifiably convicted under Section 304-II IPC, and certainly not under Section 302 IPC.Here, counsel argued that the episode took place due to a sudden quarrel; the deceased had concededly slapped the Appellant, who Crl.A. 134/2009 Page 3 retaliated later by stabbing him.There was no premeditation, and deliberation or planning.Counsel relied on the decision reported as Kandaswamy v State of Tamil Nadu 2008 (11) SCC 97, where the facts were recounted as follows:""XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX PWs 1 and 2 were examined as eye witnesses to the occurrence.Gurvammal is the elder sister of PW 1 and deceased Alagarsamy is her husband.The accused was known to him.Guruvammla died leaving behind two children - a girl and a boy.This made his father (PW 2) to bring Alagarsamy to his house.At about 8.30 p.m. on the occurrence day, he was standing opposite to the house of Ramaiah with his son, after returning from the house of Visalam.PW 2 was also coming in the street from the shop and he asked as to whether he had gone to Visalam's house and come back.Alagarsamy alighted from the bus and PW 2 also asked him as to whether he had gone to Visalam's house.Palpandi (son of accused) also alighted from the bus and the accused asked him as to why he has not brought his mother with him for which he had been sent.Palpandi replied to his father (the accused) that unless the accused goes mother will not come.Finding fault that he is repeating the same answer, the accused beat his son.Alagarsamy asked him as to why he was beating the young boy for which the accused responded stating that he had no business to intervene in his family problem and saying so, removed the Aruval from his person and cut Alagarsamy which injury landed on his left hand.Threatening them with dire consequences, the accused made good his escape.Alagarsamy was lying dead.This betrayed pre- meditation.The sequence of events was that after that, the Appellant left the spot, went somewhere and Crl.Chandra Shekhar, who delivered the judgment, about this evidence.In the present case, there are three head injuries, two on the scalp and one on the left parietal region.The first two injuries are, undoubtedly, fatal injuries.As a result of those injuries, multiple fractures of the right parietal bone occurred, the membranes got severed and there was injury to the brain matter.As regards the third injury, which is an incised wound of 2? 1? on the left parietal region, it cannot be said for certain that in the ordinary course it would have caused death.The medical evidence is silent on this aspect.The doctor did not even say what impact this third injury had internally.All the three appellants inflicted injuries on the head of the deceased with the weapons in their hands according to the prosecution witnesses.There is an allegation that after the deceased fell down all the three went on giving blows on the leg and waist.Certain injuries were found on the knee joint, elbow joint and left forearm of the deceased....XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX ...intention that can be safely imputed to Appellants 1 to 3 o 3 was to cause bodily injuries to Pyara Singh which were likely to cause death.It is this common intention which, in our view, had developed on the spot.Therefore, the offence committed by Appellants 1 to 3 would be culpable homicide not amounting to murder and they are liable to be convicted and punished under Section 304 (Part I).They are also liable to be convicted under Crl.A. 134/2009 Page 11 Section 148 IPC for the offence of rioting.On the basis of the evidence on record and the findings recorded by the High Court, there is no escape from the conclusion that the appellants were members of an unlawful assembly of five or more persons having the common object falling within the scope of clause (iii) of Section 141, though the common object was not to kill or hurt the deceased person.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 299 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 325 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The present appeal instituted under the provision of section 374(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as 'Cr.P.C') assails the judgment dated 27.04.2018 and the order on sentence dated 14.05.2018, rendered by the learned Additional Session Judge-01, Dwarka Courts, New Delhi, in Session Case No.440846/2016, title as 'State vs. CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 1 of 29 Mahabir

impugned judgment dated 27.04.2018, Mahabir Mehto (hereinafter referred to as 'the appellant') has been convicted for the commission of offences punishable under the provisions of section 506 (Part I) IPC and sections 6/5 POCSO.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 2 of 29The facts, as elaborated by the trial court are extracted in extenso, as follows: -In her complaint, the complainant stated that on 02.09.2013, the accused had come to stay with her along with his family consisting of his wife, elder daughter (i.e. the prosecutrix) aged 16 years, younger daughter aged 4 years and son aged 8 years.She alleged that on 03.09.2013, when the prosecutrix was doing household chores, she noticed an unusual bulge in her belly.Upon being inquired, the prosecutrix revealed to her that the accused had been establishing physical relations with her for the last one year by threatening her and that as a result thereof, she had become pregnant.When the complainant confronted the accused about the same, he fled away from the house with his younger daughter.On the basis of the above complaint, FIR under Sections 376/506 IPC was registered against the accused.The prosecutrix was medically examined on the same day.She was found to be having pregnancy of 28 weeks.In her statement, she supported the contents of FIR and disclosed that she had told about the acts of the accused to her mother but she did not do anything as she was of unsound mind.During the course of investigation, Sections 6 and 10 POCSO Act were added.The appellant in his statement under Section 313 of Cr.P.C., whilst denying the case of the prosecution, stated that he had been falsely implicated in the case and further stated that he reprimanded the prosecutrix for having an affair with a boy, living in the neighbourhood, the police at the instigation of the complainant, PW-2, who had grudge against him for refusing to give her a share in his ancestral property, foisted the false case against him.The first issue that warranted adjudication at the trial, was the determination of the age of the prosecutrix, at the time of the commission of the offence.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 4 of 29PW14/A) given by the Medical Board, DDU Hospital on the examination of the prosecutrix.As per the said report, the bone age of the prosecutrix was opined about 20-30 years.In his testimony, he deposed as under:In her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. dated 07.09.2013, the prosecutrix stated as follows: -""Statement of Km.One day, when I was sleeping, my father came upon me.I pushed him and thereafter, I went to my mother, however, the accused also came there and again he came upon me.Thereafter, my Bua (Aunty) made inquiry from my father, who denied the same and thereafter, my father along with my younger sister went away to Bihar.The police officer called me in the Police Station Baba Haridas Nagar.I along with my Bua went to PS Baba Haridas Nagar and my Bua made a complaint to the police officer.Thereafter, the police officer took me to RTRM Hospital.After medical examination, the police official brought me back to the Police Station and from there, I was taken to Nirmal Chhaya.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 21 of 29It is correct that my bua used to visit my house several times.I never told her during those visits the above facts, which I deposed today before this Hon'ble Court.My grandfather used to reside with my uncle, Raju.My grandfather is having properties in village and the same is not yet divided CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 22 of 29 between his children.I am not aware if my Bua is also having share in the said property.My brother accused Mahabir Mehto was also residing in the same vicinity along with his family.My brother accused Mahabir Mehto used to work as labour.In the month of July, 2013, on day my brother accused Mahabir Mehto come to my house and he requested me to arrange a room in the same house but initially, I did not allow my brother to stay there as a tenant as my brother accused Mahabir Mehto used to take liquor daily and my husband also used to take liquor daily.When my brother insisted me to arrange a room in our house, thereafter, I CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 23 of 29 allowed him to stay there along with his family.Thereafter, in the month of October, 2013, accused Mahabir Mehto shifted in my house with his family.One day, I noticed the condition of my niece, child victim and on that day, I did not ask anything from her.I also used to work as labourer and I used to leave my house in the morning and return back in the evening.On that day after returning my house, in the evening, I enquired my niece, child victim about her condition, however, on that day, my niece started weeping and disclosed that her father committed rape upon her on several occasions.Thereafter, I along with my niece child victim went to PS Baba Haridas Nagar and made complaint against the accused, which is Ex.PW2/A bearing my thumb impression at pt A. From there, police official took my niece child victim to RTRM Hospital and I also accompanied her to the hospital, where she was memdically examined and the doctor declared that my niece child victim is pregnant.SIDDHARTH MRIDUL, J.By way of the impugned order on sentence dated 14.05.2018, the appellant has been sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life, along with fine Rs.15,000/-, for the offence punishable under section 6 read with section 5(n) of POSCO.In default of the payment of fine, the appellant has been sentenced to undergo simple imprisonment for three months.Further, for the offence punishable under the provision of section 506(Part I), IPC, the appellant has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment of two years, along with fine of Rs.5,000/-.In default of payment of fine, to further undergo simple imprisonment for one month.All the sentences have been directed to run concurrently.The gravamen of the charge, for which the appellant has been convicted, is for having committed penetrative sexual assault on his CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 2 of 29 daughter, the prosecutrix, a girl aged about 15 years, at the time of commission of the offence.After completion of the investigation, the charge sheet was filed.It is a matter of record that the prosecutrix gave birth to a male child and that the said child had been given in adoption by the orphanage Sewabharti Matrichhaya.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 3 of 29On 08.01.2014, the charge for the commission of offence punishable under Section 6 read with Section 5(n) POCSO Act and Section 506 IPC was framed by the Ld.Predecessor against the accused to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.""By way of the order dated 08.01.2014, the charge for the commission of the offence punishable under Section 6 read with Section 5(n) POSCO and Section 506 (Part I) IPC was framed against the appellant, who pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.The prosecution examined 14 witnesses in all to establish their case against the appellant.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 4 of 29The trial court having considered the evidence on record, found as follows: -""10.1 In the absence of any document issued by any authority regarding the age of the prosecutrix, the prosecution has relied upon the bone age report dated 09.03.2018 (Ex.The detailed report is Ex.PW14/A, which bears my signature at point A....""In his cross-examination, PW14 expressed his inability to state the exact age of the prosecutrix at the time of her examination and stated that he could neither admit nor deny the suggestion that the prosecutrix was 26 years of age at the time of her examination.The highest rated option available determines the age of a minor conclusively.If the matriculation or equivalent certificates of the child is available, no other evidence can be relied upon.Only in the absence of such certificates, as entry of date of birth in the record of the school first attended by the child is to be relied upon.When no such entry is available, then the reliance can be placed on a birth certificate issued by a corporation or municipal authority or panchayat.It is only in the absence of any of the aforesaid, that Rule 12(3) postulates the determination of the age of the child on the basis of medical opinion.10.4 While considering the scope and nature of the inquiry contemplated under Rule 12 of the JJ Rules, 2007, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed in Ashwani Kumar Saxena v. State of M.P., (2012) 9 SCC 750, that the expressions 'prima facie', 'on the basis of physical appearance' or 'documents, if available' used in Rule 12 re- emphasize the fact that what is contemplated is only an inquiry following the procedure laid down under the said rule and not an investigation or trial under the Cr.P.C. It was held that while conducting an inquiry, a hyper-technical approach should not be adopted and if the assessment of age could not CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 7 of 29 be done, the benefit would go to the child considering his/her age on lower side within the margin of one year.Only in the absence of any matriculation or equivalent certificates, the court need obtain the date of birth certificate from the school first attended other than a play school.Only in the absence of matriculation or equivalent certificate or the date of birth certificate from the school first attended, the court need obtain the birth certificate given by a corporation or a municipal authority or a panchayat (not an affidavit but certificates or documents).The question of obtaining medical opinion from a duly constituted Medical Board arises only if the above-mentioned documents are unavailable.In case exact assessment of the age cannot be done, then the court, for reasons to be recorded, may, if considered necessary, give the benefit to the child or juvenile by considering his or her age on lower side within the margin of one year.""Since the offence is alleged to have been committed for one year prior to the lodging of complaint dated 04.09.2013, the age of the prosecutrix at the relevant time comes to about 15 years.The complainant in her complaint dated 04.09.2013 had specified the age of the prosecutrix as 16 years.In the MLC CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 8 of 29 of the prosecutrix, which was prepared on the same day, her age was also mentioned as 16 years.The statement of the prosecutrix under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was recorded on 07.09.2013, wherein she stated her age as 15 years.The prosecutrix and the complainant have been examined by the prosecution as PW1 and PW2 respectively.In the cross- examination of none of them, the accused had disputed the age of minority of the prosecutrix.PW14/A) of the Medical Board pertaining to the bone age of the prosecutrix was filed.It was only during the cross-examination of PW14 Dr. L.R. Richhele, who was examined by the prosecution to prove the report Ex.PW14/A, that the accused for the first time disputed that the prosecutrix was a child at the relevant time by putting a suggestion to the effect that she was 26 years old at the time of her examination by the Medical Board.Being the father of the prosecutrix, her age was within the special knowledge of the accused.The very fact that the accused neither disputed the age of the prosecutrix during the course of entire trial nor produced any material to dislodge the case of the prosecution that the prosecutrix was a minor at the relevant time goes to show that the challenge to the age of the prosecutrix at the belated stage was nothing but an afterthought with a view to avoid the rigour of the POCSO Act and take advantage of the wide range of the bone age (i.e. 20-30 years) of the prosecutrix opined by the Medical Board.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 8 of 2910.7 Considering the above, the contention of the defence counsel that the provisions of the POCSO Act would not apply to the present case is found to be devoid of any substance.""The above findings arrived at by the trial court, have not been assailed before us on behalf of the appellant.Therefore, we have no hesitation in CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 9 of 29 finding ourselves in agreement with the trial court, when it returned finding to the effect that the prosecutrix was a minor at the time of the commission of the offence.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 9 of 29The trial court, thereafter, proceeded to appreciate and evaluate the testimony of the prosecutrix, which constituted the foundation of the prosecution's case.The trial court, upon careful consideration of the evidence on record and in particular the testimony of the prosecutrix, returned a finding that the prosecution has succeeded in proving the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt for the commission of the offence punishable under Section 6 read with Section 5 of the POCSO, predicated on the reasoning elaborated as under:-Admittedly, the accused is the father of the prosecutrix.It is also not in dispute that at the relevant time, the prosecutrix along with her mother and younger siblings was residing with the accused.As per the MLC dated 04.09.2013 of the prosecutrix, which has been proved by PW-5 Dr. Sidhi Sainik as Ex.PW5/A, she was having the pregnancy of 28 weeks at the time of her medical examination.Now the question which requires to be adjudicated is whether the accused was responsible for the penetrative sexual assault on the prosecutrix.12.1 The prosecutrix is the sole witness of the commission of the act of penetrative sexual assault on her.In her testimony recorded on 19.02.2014, the prosecutrix (PW1) deposed that she along with her parents and two siblings used to reside in a rented accommodation; that CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 10 of 29 the accused used to work as a mason and that her mother is not mentally sound and is deaf and dumb; that about one year ago, when she was sleeping, the accused tried to force himself upon her; and that she pushed him and went to her mother but the accused came there and after extending threat to kill her, he committed rape on her.She further deposed that after the said incident, the accused used to commit rape on her on every day and that when the landlord came to know about the same, he got the house vacated.The prosecutrix also deposed that they shifted to the house of her paternal aunt (bua) i.e. the complainant and that when her aunt saw her condition, she suspected that some wrong act had been committed with her and took her to RTRM Hospital, where the doctor told that she was having pregnancy of seven months.She further deposed that when her aunt confronted the accused with the same, he denied that he was responsible for it and went away to Bihar alongwith his younger daughter and that thereafter, her aunt made complaint to the police.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 10 of 2912.2 The prosecutrix was cross-examined by the accused.In her cross-examination, she admitted that she did not know the dates or months when the accused committed rape on her and that the complainant had visited her house on several occasions but she did not disclose about the acts of the accused to her during the said visits.However, she denied the suggestions that she was having friendly relations with a boy, who got her pregnant and that when the accused came to know about the same, he had scolded her and for the said reason, she had named him as the accused.In such a scenario, especially when she did not get any support from her mother, the possibility that she could not muster courage to disclose about the acts of the accused to the complainant, who is the sister of the accused, can not be ruled out.In fact, it can be seen from the deposition of the prosecutrix (PW1) that on 03.09.2013 also, she had revealed about the acts of the accused to the complainant only when the complainant had become suspicious and asked her about her physical condition.Since the prosecutrix was having a pregnancy of about seven months at that time and her pregnancy must have started showing, she had no option but to confide in the complainant.Considering the facts and circumstances, the conduct of the prosecutrix appears to be quite natural.12.5 The counsel for the accused further contended that the uncorroborated testimony of the prosecutrix can not form the basis for holding the accused guilty.He argued that during the relevant time, the mother of the prosecutrix was also residing in the same house and therefore, she would have been the best witness to throw light on the allegations against the accused.Pooja D/o Mahavir Mehto R/o House No.28, Surekpur Road, Gopal Nagar, Najafgarh, Delhi, aged 16 years:Muzaffarnagar, Bihar 6-7 _ ` CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 20 of 29 , , ^ f @ \ ` f - @ rape @ 6-7 2/9/13 @ 4 ""CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 20 of 29In her testimony recorded on 19.02.2014, the prosecutrix deposed as under: -"" 19.02.2014 (In Camera Proceedings) PW-1, Child Victim, aged 16 years (cited at serial no.1 in the list of the witnesses) On SA .......

Counsel for accused.My father is having some property in his native place.Till date the said property is not divided among his children.I am not interested in my share in the property of my father.It is wrong to suggest that I demanded my share from my father and the accused strongly opposed the same.I had grudge against him.I never visited the house of the accused and since then, year back, quarrel/fight took place between me and accused and since then, I was not having visiting terms with the accused.It is wrong to suggest that child victim did not disclose anything against the accused or that the accused was not responsible for her condition or that she was having relation with one boy and accused opposed the same and scolded the child victim and this fact came in my knowledge or that I instigated the child victim to name the accused as culprit or that I implicated the accused in false case or that I am deposing falsely.I went to the locality of the accused, where he was residing to enquire about the truth and to know the real person, who was responsible for the condition of child victim.It is wrong to suggest that I have deposed falsely.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 24 of 29We have heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties and given our anxious consideration to the entire evidence on record.Our finding, in this regard, in addition to the evidence on record, including the ossification test conducted on the prosecutrix, is strengthened by the circumstance that, the appellant did not, at any stage of trial or before us in the present appeal, dispute that the prosecutrix was not a child at the relevant time.b) The prosecutrix was 28 weeks pregnant at the time of her MLC Ex.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 25 of 29c) The version of the prosecutrix that, the appellant had committed penetrative sexual assault on her, has remained constant throughout.d) The defence of the accused to the effect that the prosecutrix;was having an affair with a boy living in the neighbourhood, who impregnated her, and is being falsely implicated in the present case, upon reprimanding the prosecutrix for the same; is completely untenable and vacuous, inasmuch as, neither the CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 26 of 29 identity of the boy has been disclosed at any stage nor has any material been produced on the record to substantiate the defence.CRL.A. 1013/2018 Page 26 of 29e) The submission of the appellant that, he was falsely implicated by his sister PW-2 , since he refused to give her a share in the ancestral property, fails to impeach the latter's testimony, for the reason that, neither did the appellant examine his father, to substantiate his defence, nor did he produce any other cogent material in this behalf.A. 496/2015, decided on 23.04.2019]However, there shall be no order as to costs.The Trial Court Record be sent back forthwith.A copy of this judgment be communicated to the appellant through the Superintendent, Tihar Jail and also be sent for updation of the records. .","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"2.The short facts necessary for the disposal of these appeals can be stated as follows:(a) P.W.1 is the husband of the deceased Selvi.On 14.6.2002, P.W.1 accompanied by his wife, was returning to Titan Quarters in Hosur to Mathigiri Road in a TVS 50 after purchasing the household articles.When they were so coming, both A-1 and A-2 came in their Yamaha two wheeler and were chasing.The accused came towards them, and suddenly, A-1 snatched the chain which was worn by the deceased, and immediately A-1 drove the vehicle fast.Then, both of them escaped from the place.(b) P.W.1 and the deceased were searching for the accused, and they were going.At that time, on the way, they found both the accused.The deceased shouted pointing to A-2 that it was he who snatched the chain.Immediately, P.W.1 stopped the vehicle and intercepted the other vehicle in which the accused were travelling, and both A-1 and A-2 fell down.Immediately, A-1 stabbed Selvi on her left side chest and neck with a pitchuva knife. A-2 also stabbed her on her shoulder with a pitchuva knife.At that time, P.Ws.2, 3 and 4 went to the rescue.So causing injuries to them, they left the place immediately.(c) It was P.W.1 who took his severely injured wife to the Government Hospital, Hosur, where the Doctors examined and declared her dead.Then, further intimation was given to Hosur Police Station which was in turn forwarded to Mathigiri Police Station.P.W.12, the Doctor, has examined P.W.4 at about 8.40 P.M. On 14.6.2002, and has given a wound certificate, Ex.She also examined P.W.3 and issued a wound certificate, Ex.Equally, P.W.2 was examined by her, and Ex.P12 is the wound certificate in that regard.On the strength of Ex.P1, the report, a case came to be registered in Crime No.99 of 2002 under Sections 379, 324, 307 and 302 of IPC.The printed FIR, Ex.P27, was despatched to the Court.(e) P.W.16 took up investigation, proceeded to the spot, made an inspection of the first place where the incident of robbery has taken place and prepared an observation mahazar, Ex.P5, and a rough sketch, Ex.Then, he went to the second occurrence place where the murder has taken place, and prepared an observation mahazar, Ex.P6, and also a rough sketch, Ex.P33 is the admissible part.Pursuant to the confession, he produced M.O.2, gold ingot, and he has further produced M.O.1, motorbike, a cell phone, a country made gun and a Titan Watch.For Appellants : Mr.V.Vibhishanan for Mr.P.Subba Reddy in CA 324/2008 Mr.V.Gopinath Senior Counsel for Mr.L.Mahendran in CA 757/2008 For Respondent : Mr.They challenged the judgment of the I Additional Sessions Division, Krishnagiri, made in S.C.No.207 of 2005 whereby the appellants stood charged, tried, found guilty and awarded punishment as follows:Thereafter, he conducted inquest on the dead body of Selvi in the presence of witnesses and panchayatdars and prepared an inquest report, Ex.He examined the witnesses and recorded their statements.Then, a requisition, Ex.P15, was given to the hospital authorities for the purpose of postmortem.(f) P.W.13, the Civil Assistant Surgeon, attached to the Government Hospital, Hosur, on receipt of the said requisition, conducted autopsy on the dead body of Selvi and has noticed four external injuries.She has issued a postmortem certificate, Ex.P16, with her opinion that the deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhage due to injuries to vital organs heart and lungs about 14 to 16 hours before autopsy.(g) The further investigation was taken up by P.W.17, the Inspector of Police, who caused the arrest of A-1 on 19.7.2002, and he gave a confessional statement which was recorded in the presence of witnesses.They were all recovered under a cover of mahazar.(h) A requisition was given for conduct of the test identification parade.The same was conducted by P.W.14, the Judicial Magistrate.As far as A-1 was concerned, it was conducted at Central Prison, Salem, and P.Ws.1 to 4 were taken for identifying him.The identification parade proceedings are marked as Ex.Equally, as regards A-2, the identification parade took place at Central Prison, Bangalore, where P.Ws.2, 3 and 4 have participated in the parade.The identification parade proceedings are marked as Ex.On completion of investigation, the Investigating Officer filed the final report.3.The case was committed to Court of Sessions, and necessary charges were framed.In order to substantiate the charges, the prosecution examined 17 witnesses and also relied on 34 exhibits and 14 material objects.On completion of evidence on the side of the prosecution, the accused were questioned under Sec.313 of Cr.P.C. as to the incriminating circumstances found in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses which they flatly denied as false.No defence witness was examined.The trial Court heard the arguments advanced and took the view that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and hence, found them guilty and awarded the punishment as referred to above.Hence these appeals at the instance of the appellants.4.Advancing arguments on behalf of the appellant in C.A.No.324/2008, the learned Counsel Mr.V.Vibhishanan would submit that in the instant case, the prosecution came out with two parts; that firstly, there was a robbery in which A-1 and A-2 were involved, and secondly, A-1 and A-2 attacked the deceased and also in that transaction, A-1 attacked P.Ws.2 and 3, and A-2 attacked P.W.4; that the earliest document was Ex.P1, the report, given by P.W.1, the husband of the deceased; that a perusal of Ex.P1 would clearly indicate that nowhere he has pointed out any role of A-1 in Ex.P1 or Ex.P15, the requisition, given by P.W.16, the Investigating Officer, for the conduct of postmortem or the evidence before the Court; that nowhere it is found that A-1 had any role in the commission of robbery, and it was also attributed to A-2; and that under the circumstances, the lower Court was not correct in finding A-1 guilty as far as that particular charge was concerned.5.Added further the learned Counsel that the prosecution relied on the confession alleged to have been given by A-1 and also the consequent recovery of the material objects; that it is pertinent to point out that all these material objects were not connected to Crime No.99 of 2002; but, they were all connected to some other crime number, and thus, the prosecution cannot rely on the recovery of those material objects; that as far as the recovery of the gold ingot marked as M.O.2, was concerned, there was no evidence to show that the gold chain alleged to have been stolen, was actually melted into gold and made as ingot; that in the absence of the same, it cannot be taken or presumed that it was the gold chain which was the subject matter of robbery; and that under the circumstances, the prosecution has miserably failed to prove that part of the case.6.As far as the second incident was concerned, the learned Counsel would submit that the case of the prosecution was that at the time of occurrence, A-1 not only stabbed the deceased, but also attacked P.Ws.2 and 3; but, the lower Court was not prepared to accept the case of the prosecution insofar as the overt acts attributed that he attacked P.Ws.2 and 3 with knife and has acquitted him; that the same would mean that the lower Court was not ready to believe the evidence of P.Ws.2 and 3; and that the same reasons are all equally applicable to the entire episode.7.The learned Counsel would further add that in the instant case, A-1 was arrested on 19.7.2002; that as far as the identification parade in respect of A-1 was concerned, it was in no way helpful to the prosecution; that there is evidence to show that A-1 was actually in the police station and was shown to the witnesses; and that under the circumstances, it was of no consequence at all.8.Added further the learned Counsel that even from Ex.P1, the report, and also the evidence of P.W.1 it would be quite clear that the entire act of attacking the deceased was done only by A-2, and nowhere, A-1 is indicated; but, the trial Court has taken an erroneous view and found A-1 guilty of both the offences without any evidence whatsoever, and hence he is entitled for acquittal in the hands of this Court.9.Advancing arguments on behalf of A-2 in C.A.No.757/2008, the learned Senior Counsel Mr.11.The Court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on all the above contentions and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.12.It is not in controversy that an incident has taken place on 14.6.2002 at about 8.15 P.M. at which the chain of the deceased Selvi was snatched by two persons, and they have actually escaped from the place.Following that incident, both the persons were intercepted by P.W.1, the husband of the deceased, and also the deceased, and in that process, Selvi was stabbed to death.This homicidal death was never disputed by the appellants, and hence it has got to be recorded so.As could be seen from the available materials, the incidents were two in number.The first part is as to robbery, and the second part is as to murder in which P.Ws.2 to 4 were also injured.According to P.W.1, he accompanied his wife, and he took his wife in the two wheeler, and she was sitting as a pillion rider, and when they were going, the incident has taken place, and it was the pillion rider namely wife, who has identified A-2 as person who snatched the chain.It is the further evidence of P.W.1 that it was A-1 who drove the bike, and both of them have escaped from the place.Thus, it was only P.W.1, who was actually the witness in respect of the incident of robbery.From the evidence of P.W.1, it could be seen that he has identified that it was A-1 who drove the bike, and A-2 was a pillion rider who snatched the chain.It is true that the occurrence has taken place in night hours and that too, within a minute or two.Now, the occurrence projected by the prosecution did not stop there.According to P.W.1, he and the deceased were in further search of the assailants in their vehicle, and at that time, when they found both the accused near the bus stop, P.Ws.2 to 4 were also there, and on seeing A-2, the deceased Selvi shouted pointing to A-2 that it was he who snatched the chain.The evidence would further go to show that immediately they were intercepted by P.W.1 by parking the vehicle across, and then both of them fell down; and that at that time, the incident has taken place.From the evidence of P.W.1, it could be well seen that it was the deceased who caught hold of the shirt of A-2 who snatched the chain; that at that time, it was A-1 who intervened by stabbing her; that on seeing this, P.W.1 caught hold of him; that immediately, A-2 attacked the deceased also; and that when P.Ws.2 to 4 went to the rescue, they were also attacked by the appellants.P.W.1 has not only seen them at the place of first occurrence of robbery, but also at the time when the second occurrence has taken place.It has also taken place in a public place.It is pertinent to point out that in a given case like this, when two incidents have taken place and that too, the first part is a robbery, and the second part is a murder and when they were intercepted, they attacked not only the deceased, but also some others, naturally such incidents would cause a dent in the memory of a human being.But, originally, there was snatching of chain, and thereafter, the second incident has taken place in which not only the deceased was attacked, but also P.Ws.2 to 4 were attacked by both.It is true that the lower Court has acquitted A-1 in respect of charge under Sec.324 (two counts) of IPC for attacking P.Ws.2 and 3 since there was some inconsistency in evidence.Hence the benefit was available to him.In this case, A-1 was arrested on 19.7.2002 within a month of the occurrence.Immediately after his arrest, he has given a confessional statement leading to the recovery of some of the material objects.It is true that except M.O.2, all other material objects produced by him, were not connected to this case, and hence that part of the evidence could not be relied.As far as A-2 was concerned, the prosecution came forward to state that it was the gold ingot which came into existence by melting the chain which was worn by the deceased at the time of occurrence.The accused cannot expect the prosecution to explain how the chain was melted into ingot.16.Apart from the above, much comment was made by the appellants' side on the identification parade conducted.As far as A-1 was concerned, within a short span of time, P.W.1 and the other witnesses have identified him properly.As regards A-2, the evidence would go to show that when the deceased and P.W.1 were in search of the assailants, the deceased shouted pointing to A-2 that it was he who robbed the chain, and when she caught hold of the shirt of A-2, it was A-1 who attacked her, and when P.W.1 caught hold of the shirt of A-1, A-2 attacked her.The lower Court was perfectly correct in marshaling the evidence, considering the same and finding them guilty for robbery and also for murder.1.The I Additional District Judge Krishnagiri2.The Inspector of Police Mathigiri Police Station (Crime No.99 of 2002)3.The Public Prosecutor High Court, Madras","['Section 379 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

M.O.1 to M.O.9 were also marked.On the side of the accused, no evidence was adduced.The learned trial Judge after a detailed consideration of the evidence on record came to the conclusion that the prosecution failed to prove the charges against the accused beyond reasonable doubt and acquitted them of all the charges.Aggrieved by the same, P.W.1 has preferred this Criminal Revision petition.4. Heard the learned counsel on either side.The deceased as well as accused No.2 worked as police constables.Accused No.1 had received a sum of Rs.1,50,000/- from the deceased.On the occurrence date, the deceased had stopped accused No.1 and demanded the money back.In response, accused No.1 was said to have threatened her with dire consequences.Later accused Nos.1 and 2 joined together and murdered Manjula Devi by strangulating her neck by using a nylon rope and to screen the crime, they made it appear as if Manjula Devi committed suicide by hanging herself.He had opined that the deceasedhttp://www.judis.nic.in 6 appeared to have died by ligature strangulation at about 12 to 18 hours prior to autopsy.P.W.11 was the police constable who worked with the deceased.He deposed that Manjula Devi left her work place at about 12.05 hours on the occurrence date.P.W.12 and P.W.13 told the police that they saw the deceased coming in her two wheeler at about 12.30 p.m., opposite to Rose Land and that they noticed a quarrel between accused No.1 and the deceased and that accused No.1 held out threats to the deceased.However, the said witnesses turned hostile during trial.P.W.15 Devaraj is a police constable who also resided in the police quarters.He deposed that he heard some suspicious sound and that he went to the house of the deceased and saw the accused No.2 sitting in front of the house while the accused No.1 was inside the house.He saw that the deceased was laid on the floor.When he queried, accused No.2 informed him that Manjula Devi had hanged herself and that he brought her down.Thereupon P.W.15 informed the police from the telephone in his house.On hishttp://www.judis.nic.in 7 return, he saw that accused Nos.1 and 2 were taking the body of Manjula Devi in an auto and that the accused No.1 followed the same.After a while, they brought the body back.They were advised by another constable by name Nagarajan, to take Manjula Devi to hospital.P.W.16 Muthukumar was working as Sub Inspector of Police in Wireless section and he was informed by accused No.2 about the suicide of Manjula Devi.P.W.16 thereupon went to the place of occurrence and saw the accused Nos.1 and 2 taking the deceased in an auto and returning after half an hour.P.W.22 is the investigation officer who recorded the statements of the witnesses and he effected the arrest and recovery and filed the final report.He also obtained opinion from Dr.Karthikeyan which was in consonance with the opinion of P.W.7 doctor.He would further contend that evenhttp://www.judis.nic.in 8 though P.W.12 and P.W.13 had turned hostile, their evidence cannot be rejected in toto. P.Ws.15 to 19 have spoken about the taking of the body in an auto by the accused and bringing it back after a while.This clearly creates suspicion over their conduct.The accused have not at all explained these incriminating circumstances in their examination under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. P.W.7 doctor has clearly opined that the deceased died due to ligature strangulation.This was confirmed by Dr.The petitioner's counsel would contend that these incriminating circumstances were not taken note of by the learned Sessions Judge.The reasons given for acquitting the accused are flimsy.The learned counsel also relied on a number of decisions.The Revision petitioner also filed written arguments.I am unable to agree with the submissions of the learned counsel appearing for the Revision petitioner.While it is true that P.W.1 to P.W.5 have spoken about the intense strain in the relationship between the accused No.2 and the deceased, their testimony by themselves is wholly insufficienthttp://www.judis.nic.in 9 to sustain the prosecution case.At best they may indicate that the accused had a motive.It must be noted that the prosecution case rests only on circumstantial evidence.But they did not support the prosecution case.Likewise P.W.14, who is another witness to sustain the last seen theory also turned hostile.In order to prove the confession and recovery, the prosecution examined P.W.6 Selvaraj.He also turned hostile.P.W.10 Dr.Selvaraj conducted autopsy.To a specific question posed in the cross examination, he answered that he could not give any definite opinion regarding the cause of death.In Ex.P.14, it was opined that the deceased would have appeared to died due to ligature strangulation at about 12 to 18 hours prior to the autopsy.It is beyond dispute that no definite opinion was offered by the postmortem doctor.Thus the prosecution miserably failed to prove that the deceased died due to homicidal violence.Of course, the learned counsel appearing for the Revision petitioner would cite the opinion given by Dr.Karthikeyan from whom the second opinion was obtained.But the said Dr.Karthikeyan was not examined.As rightly contended by the learned counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2, the prosecution will have to prove two things.Firstly, Manjula Devi died as a result of homicidal violence.Secondly, the accused are the authors of the said homicidal violence.In this case, the prosecution have not even established that Manjula Devi was strangulated to death.Both in the case of suicide and the death due tohttp://www.judis.nic.in 11 strangulation, there will be ligature strangulation.In this case, the prosecution was not able to rule out the possibility of suicide.In fact P.W.10 Dr.The State did not prefer any appeal against the Judgment of acquittal.It is only the father of the deceased who has filed this Criminal Revision case.The learned trial Judge had discussed the evidence adduced by the prosecution in extenso and after considering the rival contentions came to the conclusion that the accused are entitled to acquittal.The presumption ofhttp://www.judis.nic.in 12 innocence which is available to the accused during trial stands further strengthened and reinforced by the Judgment of acquittal.The learned counsel appearing for the Revision petitioner has not made out any case for dislodging the presumption in favour of the accused.The Judgment of the Court below has not been shown to be perverse or suffering from illegality or irregularity.I find no ground to interfere with this Criminal Revision case.The Criminal Revision stands dismissed.No costs.16.08.2019 Index : yes/No Internet:Yes/No pmuhttp://www.judis.nic.in 13 G.R.SWAMINATHAN,J.The Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Pudukottai.The Deputy Superintendent of Police, Pudukottai.The Record Keeper, V.R.

+"The case of the prosecution is as follows:(i) On 11.12.1996 at about 11.30 a.m., while P.W.2, the victim Manickam, a postman, was walking on the main road at Thondapadi Village, A.1 and A.2 along with other other co-accused formed themselves into an unlawful assembly carrying deadly weapons.They attacked P.W.2 with Aruvals and severed both hands.A.4 and A.6 facilitated A.1 and A.2 doing so.(ii) P.W.1, who is the sister of P.W.2, the victim, and an eye witness, had rushed to the Village Administrative Officer and narrated the occurrence.On the basis of Ex.P.1, complaint, Ex.P.15, the First Information Report was registered by P.W.7, the Sub Inspector of Police.P.W.1 is the complainant; P.W.2 is the injured and P.W.3 is the brother of P.W.2. P.W.4 is the doctor, who had treated P.W.2 after the occurrence and issued Ex.P.3, Wound Certificate.P.W.9, the Inspector of Police had conducted investigation and prepared Observation Mahazar Ex.P.5 and Ex.P.W.9 has arrested A.1 and A.2 and recorded their confession statements Exs.On the basis of the confession statements, he recovered M.O.1 and M.O.2 weapons used by A.1 and A.2 respectively in the occurrence.He has also recovered M.O.4 and M.O.5 blood stained sand and blood stained wooden logs of Munna Tree under Ex.The admissible portion of the confession statement of A.1 is Ex.P.17 and that of A.2 is Ex.A.3 and A.5 were absconding.The investigating officer had filed charge sheet.The case duly was committed for trial.When questioned, the accused pleaded innocence.On the side of the prosecution, P.W.1 to P.W.9 were examined.P.1 to P.18 were exhibited and M.Os.1 to 5 were marked.P.Ws.1 and 3, according to the prosecution, are ocular witnesses.P.W.2 is the injured witness.ajr/sjCrl.R.C.No.1073 of 201017.12.2014A case was registered against the petitioner and five others for the offences under sections 148, 302 and 342 IPC in Crime No.311 of 1996 on the file of the respondent.Pursuant to investigation, a charge sheet was filed informing the commission of offences.On questioning under section 313 Cr.P.C, A.1 took the plea of private defence and A.2 the defence of alibi.Other accused have denied their complicity.On the side of the accused, D.Ws.1 to 5 were examined.Learned trial Judge acquitted A3 and A5 and convicted other accused and passed sentence as follows:Accused No.Conviction under SectionSentenceA1148 IPCOne year SI342 IPCOne year SI307 IPCFive years RI and fine of Rs.1,000/- I/D six months R.I.A2148 IPCOne year SI342 IPCOne year SI307 IPCFive years RI and fine of Rs.1,000/- I/D six months R.I.A4147 IPCSix Months SI342 IPCOne Year SI307 r/w 114 IPCThree Years RI and fine of Rs.500/- I/D three months R.I.A6147 IPCSix Months SI342 IPCOne Year SI307 r/w 114 IPCThree Years RI and fine of Rs.500/- I/D three months R.I.Aggrieved by the findings of the learned trial Judge, all the accused preferred an appeal in C.A.No.11 of 2002 before the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Perambalur.The appellate Court while allowing the appeal of the other accused, convicted the petitioner for offence under Section 337 I.P.C., sentenced him to Five Years rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- in default to undergo six months rigorous imprisonment.8. P.W.2, injured moved Criminal Revision Nos.306 and 307 of 2013 challenging the judgment of acquittal as regards the other accused and seeking enhancement of the sentence as regards this petitioner, first accused.This Court under order dated 23.10.2007 was pleased to dismiss Criminal Revision No.306 of 2013, challenging the order of acquittal of other accused.However, in Criminal Revision No.307 of 2013, this Court took the view that the offence under Section 326 IPC stood attracted and hence remitted the matter to the appellate court for fresh consideration.Thereupon the matter was reheard by the appellate court, which convicted the petitioner under section 326 IPC and sentenced him to undergo five years rigorous imprisonment and fine of Rs.1000/- in default to undergo 6 months rigorous imprisonment.The petitioner having paid the fine has filed this Revision.On general considerations, this Court would suspect the veracity of the prosecution case.The occurrence, wherein both arms of P.W.2 were cut off, in an attack by six persons, is said to have taken place at 11.30 a.m. P.Ws.1 and 3, sister and brother of P.W.2, who allegedly were witnesses to the occurrence have chosen to inform the Village Administrative Officer only at 5 p.m on such date and thereafter FIR came to be registered.The explanation offered for the delay is that the Village Administrative Officer was at a different Village and hence they could reach him only at 5 p.m. It is most unlikely that a person who had suffered the loss of two arms at 11.30 a.m. would have been lying unattended till 5 p.m, without having lost his life.Therefore, there is prima facie reason to think that in the least, the time of the occurrence has been shifted.While the other accused in the case stand acquitted, such avenue to this petitioner has been closed, owing to the fact that he has chosen to examine himself as defence witness and admitted the commission of the offence.He had stated that P.W.2, facing prosecution for the offences under sections 448 and 354 IPC, he having misbehaved with the first daughter of the petitioner, had sought to misbehave with the second daughter and towards preventing such wrong, he had exercised the right of private defence.That two arms of P.W.2 had been totally chopped off is an indication that the prosecution's original case of involvement of several persons was more likely.In the face of evidence, tendered by petitioner as D.W.1, we are constrained to confirm the finding of the lower appellate court.However, it is seen that 18 years have passed since the date of occurrence.Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner is aged 70 years and suffers from many health related problems.This Court was of the view that the victim/P.W.2 may be questioned as to whether he was willing to accept the payment of compensation.The same subsequently was closed on 24.11.2014, since he could not be traced.It is seen that the petitioner has been in custody for a period of six months.In the circumstances, substantive sentence of imprisonment shall be restricted to the period already undergone by the petitioner.The petitioner shall be now required to pay a fine of Rs.1,50,000/- (Rupees One Lakh and Fifty Thousand only), within a period of two months of receipt of this order, in default undergo two years rigorous imprisonment.The Criminal

+"This appeal is directed against a judgment and order dated August 24, 1977 and August 31, 1977 passed by a Special Judge, Tis Hazari, Delhi, whereby he found the appellant guilty under Section 161 of the IPC and Section 5(2) read with Section 5(1 )(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 ('the Act' for short).The appellant was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year with a fine of Rs. 200/- under Section 161, IPC.In case of default in payment of fine he was further directed to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of three months.Similarly he was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year with a fine of Rs. 200/- under Section 5(2) read with Section 5(1)(d) of the Act. In case of his failure to clear the fine he was further sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of three months.Both the sentences were to run concurrently.However, the sentences imposed in default of payment of fine were to run consecutively.Brief facts which gave rise to the present appeal are as under: that one Shri Raghbir Singh resident of village Bindapur, Delhi, (hereinafter referred to as the complainant for the sake of convenience) approached the convict/appellant (hereinafter referred to as the appellant in order to facilitate the reference) for supply of a copy of the revenue record pertaining to his land situated, at village Bindapur, The appellant demanded a sum of Rs. 100/- from the complainant for the said purpose and told him that he should approach him over again on Monday i.e. 14th July, 1975 along with Rs. 100/-.The complainant lodged a written complaint with the Superintendent of Police, CBI, New Delhi, with the above said allegations.Consequently a regular case No. RC 34/75-SPE/CBI/Delhi Branch was registered.The said case after registration was entrusted to P.W. 3, Dy.S.P. Chander Bhan, for the purposes of investigation.He secured the presence of two independent witnesses i.e. Shri Prabhati Lal (P.W. 2) and Shri Baldev Raj (PW. 4) from the office Of Directorate of Sugar and Venaspati, Jarnnagar House, New Delhi.A raiding party was formed by including the said persons in the said raiding party.The complainant (PW 1) was introduced to the said witnesses who narrated the facts of the present case to them.He also produced ten currency notes of the denomination of Rs. 10)/- each to be given to the appellant by way of bribe on his demand.The currency notes were treated with phenolphthalein powder and a demonstration was given to the witnesses with regard to the working of the phenolphthalein powder.The above tainted currency notes of Rs. 10/- each were handed back to the complainant with instructions to be passed on to the appellant when demanded by him by way of bribe.Shri Prabhati Lal (P.W. 2), an independent witness was deputed to act as a shadow witness in order to see and overhear whatever transpired in between the complainant and the appellant.After the completion of necessary formalities the raiding party reached village Palam at about 2-30 p.m. Shri Raghbir Singh PW. 1 and Shri Prabhati Lal PW. 2 left to contact the appellant at his office (Patwarkhana).The appellant was found present at his office.The complainant asked the appellant as to whether he had prepared a copy of the extract from the revenue record pertaining to his land.The appellant asked for his fees.The complainant enquired of the appellant with regard to the amount to be paid whereupon the appellant told him that he would have to pay Rs. 100/- for the copy of the relevant revenue record pertaining to his land.The complainant on hearing the same took out the ten currency notes from his pocket and gave them to the appellant who accepted the same and put them into the left side front pocket of his shirt which he was wearing.The right as well as the left hand fingers of the appellant were got dipped into sodium carbonate solution which turned pink.The left side front pocket of the shirt on being washed with sodium carbonate solution also turned pink.JUDGMENT Mohd. Shamim, J.Thereafter the appellant started preparing the copy of the revenue record after looking into the same.Shri Prabhati Lal PW.2 thereupon came outside the office of the appellant and informed the raiding party that the appellant had accepted the bribe of Rupees 100/- from the complainant on demand.3 ChanderBhan, Dy.S.P. along with other members of the raiding party rushed to the office of the appellant and challenged him after disclosing his identity.The appellant was preparing copy of the revenue record pertaining to the land of the complainant at that time.After challenging, P.W. 3 Dy.S.P. Chander Bhan caught hold of the.appellant by both of his arms.The appellant got perplexed.On personal search of the appellant ten currency notes of Rs. 10/- each were recovered from the left side front pocket of his shirt.The numbers of the said currency notes tallied with the currency notes mentioned in the handing over memo prepared earlier.A copy of an extract from the Khasra Girdawri in respect of the land of the complainant prepared by the appellant was also seized.The appellant was arrested and later on released on bail.The appellant was summoned.The said admissions on the part of PW. 1 Raghbir Singh are to be read along with the statement of the appellant under Section 313, Cr.P.C. wherein he was very categorically stated that he had complained against the complainant to the SDM, Punjabi Bagh for his unauthorised colonisation.As per his report the SDM ordered that the complainant be dispossessed from the land in his possession and the same be handed over to gaon sabha.The appellant in this connection has placed on record his report with regard to the unauthorised colonisation.One of the persons complained against, as is manifest from the said report, is PW. 1 Raghbir Singh complainant (vide Ex. D/A).The orders passed by the SDM are Ex. DB and Ex. DC.To the same effect is the statement of PW. 7 Kanwar Sain, Office Kanungo, Mehrauli.He has very categorically stated that the appellant complained against PW. 1 Raghbir Singh with regard to the unauthorised colonisation in 1974 and the SDM thereupon passed orders for taking possession over the said land belonging to the complainant Raghbir Singh and to deliver the possession over the same to gaon Sabha.He has further stated that he along with the appellant went to take possession.However the same could not be taken on account of the apprehension of breach of peace.It thus can be safely concluded from above that it was the appellant who complained against the complainant, PW. 1 Raghbir Singh (vide report dated August 15, 1974).The complaint was lodged with the police on July 11, 1975 i.e. only 17 days after the possession was to be handed over to gaon sabha.Thus the complainant has got an animus against the appellant.He has got a motive to lodge a report against the appellant.Consequently the complainant by no stretch of imagination be called an independent witness.His statement is to be looked upon with suspicion and caution and it would not be safe to place reliance thereon.Furthermore, a perusal of the charge sheet reveals that as per the prosecution version the appellant was preparing a copy of the extract from the revanue record (Khasra Girdawri) in respect of the land of the complainant Raghbir Singh at the time the raid was laid against him.To the same effect is the statement of PW.3 Dy.Surprisingly enough the copy of the said extract from the revenue record was never seized from the spot.Instead an extract from the revenue record pertaining to the land of Shri Balbir Singh is placed on the file of this Court as is manifest from Ex. P5/A. This again casts suspicion on the case of the prosecution.It is in the statement of PW. 1 Raghbir Singh as well as PW. 3 Chander Bhan.Dy, S.P. that the appellant after having accepted the tainted currency notes kept the same in the left side front pocket of his shirt.The said shirt after the recovery of the tainted currency notes was removed from his person and was dipped in the solution of sodium carbonate whereupon the said solution turned pink.It implies thereby that the pocket of the shirt of the appellant which he was wearing must have pink colour.Astonishingly the shirt (Ex.P. 1) which was produced before the Court did not have any such colour on the left side front pocket.This fact has been admitted by PW., 3 Chander Bhan.This again casts suspicion with regard to the authenticity of the prosecution version particularly when the said shirt before pink marks at other places i.e. on the front side of the shirt.The learned lower Court has ignored this fact by stating that it is just possible that the faint pink colour on the pocket of the shirt of the accused might have disappeared with the passage of time.The learned lower Court, I feel, was not correct while coming to the said conclusion.Had that been true the pink marks on the other parts of the shirt would have also disappeared.The appellant in his written statement in Urdu (vide para 6) has stated that on July 14, 1975 the complainant Raghbir Singh approached him with the request to accept the impugned amount for handing over the same to Sube Singh.Sube Singh was to come to take the said money from him later on and he was required to give the said amount to Sube Singh.It was in the above circumstances that he took the said amount by one hand and kept the same on the cot with the help of another hand and told the complainant straightway that he should deliver the said amount himself to Sube Singh.It is sufficient if he comes out with a probable and plausible version.I feel that the appellant has put forward a probable and plausible version in the present case.","['Section 161 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 5 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Marriage of Reeta (since deceased) was solemnized Cr.A. No.2605/05 2 with appellant no.1 Manoj on 21/4/2000 and the remaining appellants are his family members.Prosecution case, in brief, is that appellants were involved in subjecting Reeta to cruelty and harassment due to non satisfaction of demand for dowry, and, ultimately, on 31/5/2001, under suspicious circumstances, she breathed her last and cause of death was ascertained as asphyxia in the post mortem report (Ex.P/10), wherein as many as 4 injuries were also noticed on her palms and one on chin.As per report (Ex.P/17) dated 29/11/01 of Forensic Science Lab, Organo Phosphorous pesticide was found in the viscera of the deceased.(8.10.13) Being aggrieved by the judgment dated 9.12.2005 passed by the I Additional Sessions Judge, Hoshangabad in S.T. No.322/2001, the appellants have preferred this appeal under Section 374(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code ('Code' for short) whereby they have been convicted under Sections 304-B and 498-A of the Indian Penal Code (for short, 'the IPC') and sentenced to undergo R.I. for seven years with fine stipulation and R.I. for 2 years with fine stipulation respectively.One written report dated 31/5/2001 addressed to Station House Officer, Itarsi was filed by father of the deceased Narbada Prasad.During the course of investigation, statements of witnesses were recorded and thereafter Crime No.365/01 (Ex.P/13) for the offences under Sections 304B and 498A of the IPC, was registered at Police Station, Itarsi and after completion of investigation, charge-sheet was filed against, as many as, seven accused persons.Out of them, except appellants others were acquitted of the charges.Learned Senior Counsel submitted that the trial Court had erred in appreciating the evidence on record and the impugned judgment deserves to be set aside.According to him, appellant no.3 Vijaya alias Vijaylata, sister-in-law of the deceased, is married and has been staying separately since long and there is no incriminating evidence against her and, therefore, she is entitled to be acquitted.Alternatively, he argued that, at the most, appellant no.2 Shanti Bai, mother-in-law of the deceased, can only be convicted under Section 498A of the IPC and appellant no.1 Manoj has already suffered the impugned custodial sentence, while Shantbai has suffered imprisonment for 4 years.In response, learned Government Advocate as well as learned counsel for the Objector, while making reference to the incriminating pieces of evidence on record, submitted that the impugned judgment was well merited.Cr.A. No.2605/05 3Having regard to the arguments advanced by the parties, we have gone through the impugned judgment and record of the trial Court.Santosh (PW1), brother of the deceased, deposed in para 2 of his evidence that Reeta had never told him in regard to maltreatment at the hands of her in-laws and she used to tell her mother only.Pinki alias Sunita (PW3), friend of the deceased, deposed in para 1 that Reeta had told her that her husband and mother-in-law used to harass and beat her on trifle matters.In para 3 she deposed that appellant no.3 used to instigate appellant no.2, but she did not depose the manner in which and when appellant no.3 instigated them.Rakesh Sahu (PW9) deposed in para 1 that on 29.5.01 when he met the deceased, she had started weeping and upon asking had informed her that appellant no.3 and her husband Ramesh had threatened to bring Rs.50,000/-, Fridge and VCR else they would harass her.Though some omnibus allegations were leveled against appellant no.3 in the evidence of some witnesses, yet, on that basis alone, her conviction cannot be sustained as on the same set of evidence, some other accused have already been acquitted by the trial Court and against them no appeal has been filed by the State.It is an admitted fact and also brother of the deceased Santosh (PW1) admitted in para 12 of his evidence that appellant no.3 Vijaya resided at Hoshangabad along with her husband Ramesh.From the evidence of all the witnesses, it is crystal clear that appellant nos. 1 and 2 used to subject Reeta to cruelty and harassment due to non satisfaction of demand for dowry and her death was caused within seven years of the marriage.The fact that Cr.A. No.2605/05 4 deceased was subjected to physical cruelty soon before her death, is also established from the evidence of the witnesses, as well as, from medical evidence.Therefore, in view of Section 113B of the Evidence Act, it was rightly presumed by the trial Court that appellant nos. 1 and 2 had caused the dowry death of Reeta.In the aforesaid premises, the appeal is allowed in part.Appellant no.3 Vijiya alias Vijaylata is acquitted of the offences.However, the appeal, so far as it relates to appellants nos. 1 and 2, the same stand dismissed.Their convictions and sentences are affirmed.As per record, appellant no.1 Manoj was in jail.His supersession warrant be sent to jail authorities.Appellant no.2 Shantibai is on bail.","['Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Sunita Gautam, from the aforesaid charges.Being aggrieved by the impugned judgment, appellant Sunil Kumar Dubey has filed criminal appeal no. 2199/03, challenging his conviction on the ground that the learned Trial Court is not justified in convicting him, overlooking unreliable evidence of prosecution.There was no evidence available on record relating to demand of any dowry.Criminal appeal no. 690/04 has been filed by the State against impugned judgment challenging finding of acquittal against the remaining accused persons on the ground that there were ample evidence available for demand of dowry on record, therefore, learned trial court is not justified in acquitting them.Main point for consideration in both these appeals is as to whether the learned Trial Court is justified in passing the impugned judgment, by which, appellant Sunil Kumar Dubey has been convicted and other accused have been acquitted.-3- Cri.A.2199/03 & 690/04There is no dispute as to the fact that deceased Shobha @ Premila was married to accused / appellant Sunil Kumar on 26.4.1995 and she died on 5.10.1997, due to burn injuries, which is an unnatural death, and therefore, we have to see that whether death of Shobha @ Premila was homicidal or it was ""dowry death"" and that, whether the deceased was ill- treated for fulfilling the demand of dowry by her husband or in-laws.Learned Trial Court has appreciated the evidence regarding death of dowry from Paragraphs 15 to 26 in the impugned judgment and considered each evidence regarding demand of dowry alleged, out of which, demand of colour T.V. had been told by the deceased to her mother, father and sisters when she came to her maternal house third time after her marriage, but appreciating the evidence, the learned Trial Court has rightly held that there is no evidence that she had talked to her in-laws and husband regarding demand of colour T.V. after giving dowry, at the time of her Court statement, between them.In no letter, the deceased has told that she had been harassed for fulfillment of demand of colour T.V., even husband Sunil never made demand of colour T.V. from her father-in-law.Sisters of the deceased have not mentioned the fact of ill-treatment for demand of colour T.V. in their statements Ex.D/3 & D/4 and Ku.Sushma (PW-6), who is sister of the deceased, has admitted that her sister never told her when she was beaten or abused for fulfillment of demand of colour T.V. Therefore, the learned Trial Court is justified in rejecting the allegation regarding demand of colour T. V. in dowry and harassing the deceased for fulfillment of said demand.Other alleged demands are that of demand of money of Rs.20,000/- for construction of house and demand of Rs.10,000/- after Sunil, husband of the deceased, became jobless.Out of which, Rs.10,000/- was paid for construction of house and Rs.5000/- was paid to the husband after he lost his job.Although, there are contradictions regarding demand of even-4- Cri.A.2199/03 & 690/04 amount and learned counsel for the appellant / accused has submitted that the demand of money for extending help in construction of the house and monetary help for livelihood cannot be termed as demand of dowry.In support of his contention, he has cited a judgment of Hon'ble Apex court passed in the matter of Appasaheb and another vs. State of Maharashtra (2007) 9 SCC 721, in which, it has been held that the demand made by the appellant / accused from the parents of the deceased (wife) to meet domestic expenses and for purchasing manure, cannot be said to be a demand of dowry.Since, essential ingredients of Section 304-B IPC viz. demand of dowry is not established, the conviction of the appellants under Section 304-B r/w.S. 34 IPC cannot be sustained.It has been further held that demand for money on account of some financial stringency or for meeting some urgent domestic expenses or for purchasing manure, cannot be termed as a demand of dowry.Therefore, even if, demand of Rs.10,000/- or Rs.5000/- was made by the parents of the appellant / accused from the deceased or her parents, for construction of the house or as monetary help to a jobless husband of their daughter, the said payment cannot be termed as a demand of dowry and further, after making such payment, there is no evidence that demand had been existing till the death of the deceased, has not been established.Therefore, in the absence of necessary ingredients of ""demand of dowry"", conviction of the appellant / husband Sunil for the offence under Sections 304-B and 498-A, IPC, is not sustainable and acquittal of other respondents / accused no. 1 to 4 in criminal appeal no. 690/04, is proper.So far as the death of deceased Shobha @ Premila is concerned, it is an admitted fact that Shobha @ Premila was living with her husband in the quarter which was allotted to her father-in-law and other members of the family were residing in separate house nearly 200 meters away from the quarter, in which, the deceased was living.Therefore, the learned TrialIn para 5 of his statement, he has confirmed that he was unable to mention the reason of death, therefore, he had preserved viscera and sent it for chemical examination.In cross-examination, he has further admitted that he had not examined density of blood of the deceased.He has stated that burn injuries found on the body of the deceased were post mortem but he has admitted in cross-examination that he had not preserved mucus from trachea, larynx and lungs and he had not conducted blood level test of the deceased.He has further admitted that he had not conducted any test for presence of carbon in blood, although he has stated that such test might be conducted by chemical examination but no blood was preserved for chemical examination which would reveal the presence of carbon particle in the blood.In fact, no examination has been made after conducting post mortem regarding injury sustained by the deceased whether they were post mortem or ante mortem, even chemical examination conducted by FSL, only mentions absence of poisonous substance in viscera.Therefore, other circumstances are to be seen.Learned counsel for the appellant / accused has drawn attention towards the statement of Dr. Subhash Pathak (PW-16), who has seen the-6- Cri.A.2199/03 & 690/04 spot as a Senior Scientist of FSL Team and on seeing spot, he has been stated that the quarter was having 3 rooms, out of which, doors of front were closed from inside at the time of incidence as told to him.He has found blackening in all 3 rooms of the quarter.He has also found pieces of burn cloths in kitchen and other two rooms and this is only possible when the victim moved in all 3 rooms while she caught fire.Police has not prepared any Panchnama regarding condition of the house when the police reached on spot whether the doors of the house were closed from inside or they were open.However, it is an admitted position that appellant Sunil Kumar Dubey was not present at the time of incident in the house.Further, statement of Dr. Subhash Pathak (PW-16) reveals that doors of front and backside were closed from inside and this fact might have gone against the Prosecution agency for implicating the accused persons for offence punishable under Section 302 IPC and further considering the fact that the father of the deceased is a Police Constable, Shivcharan (PW-1), a detailed spot map has either not been prepared or if prepared, it has not been produced, as the factum of closure of doors from inside, might have gone against the theory created by the prosecution agency.Learned Trial Judge has also created different story in para 47 of its judgment, in which, it has been held that the deceased might have been killed by putting pillow on her face or by pressing throat as tongue was found protruded which may be the result of strangulation.Although, the Judge can use experience of the life by considering the evidence of judgment but such experience does not include hypothetical inference.Where the Doctor has stated that the burn injuries were post mortem and failed to collect blood or fluid for confirming the same, Modi's Medical-7- Cri.A.2199/03 & 690/04 Jurisprudence and Toxicology (Ed.23,Page-595), mentions that in homicidal smothering, affected by the forcible application of the hand over the mouth and the nostrils, bruises and abrasions are often found on the lips and on the angles of the mouth, and alongside the nostrils.The inner mucosal surface of the lips may be found lacerated from pressure on the teeth.It further mentions that in case of suffocation, the lips are livid, and the tongue sometimes protruded.Bloody froth comes out of the mouth and the nostrils.Therefore, merely on the basis of protruded and in the absence of any mark of hypothecation it cannot be said that death of the deceased was result of hypothecation particularly when she was alone in the house and doors of the house were closed from inside and was removed in all 3 rooms of the house in burning condition.Learned Trial Court is not justified in holding that the death of the deceased was homicidal in the absence of any proper evidence either medical or circumstantial.The witnesses had seen the deceased cleaning the house in the morning and after sometime, fume was seen coming out from the house while she was inside.Therefore, the death of the deceased may be either accidental or suicidal but in the absence of any evidence regarding demand of dowry and further, in the absence of any evidence in quarrel between the deceased and her husband and further considering the fact that immediately before the incident, the deceased was seen cleaning her house in normal way, it cannot be said that death of the deceased was due to any abetment by her husband.The possibility of abetment for suicide is also not available from the evidence on record.Therefore, there is no evidence against the respondents no. 1 to 4 / accused in criminal appeal no. 690/04 regarding demand of dowry or harassment for dowry and also their presence at the time of incident where deceased was living in the house.Therefore, the acquittal of the respondents no. 1 to 4 in criminal appeal no. 690/04 is proper.A.2199/03 & 690/04 force in the appeal filed by the State against acquittal and learned Trial Court is justified in acquitting them.Therefore, criminal appeal no. 690/2004 filed by the State against the acquittal of the respondents no. 1 to 4 is hereby dismissed.According to Modi's Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology, (Ed.23, Page-633) persons removed from houses destroyed by fire are often found dead from suffocation due to the inhalation of smoke, carbon monoxide and other irrespirable gases, which are the products of combustion.In such a case, burns found on the body are usually post- mortem.Therefore, it is also possible that after death of the victim, due to suffocation, burn injuries, which are result of continuous burning, may appear post-mortem in nature and the fact that tongue of the deceased was found protruded it is possible that victim might have died due to suffocation, entire damage caused by complete burning.Therefore, merely on the basis of the statement of Doctor that burn injuries were post- mortem, it cannot be held that her death was homicidal.Further, no chemical examination of viscera has been done for confirmation of presence of carbon particle or trachea, larynx or blood and above all, doors were found closed from inside, in which, deceased was found in burnt condition, therefore, it cannot be held that her death was homicidal.Thus, learned Trial Court is not justified in convicting the appellant Sunil Kumar Dubey for offence punishable under Section 302 IPC.Consequently, criminal appeal no. 2199/2003 filed by the appellant Sunil Kumar Dubey is allowed and impugned judgment of conviction and sentenced awarded by the Trial Court is set-aside and he is acquitted of the charges of offence punishable under Sections 302, 304-B and 498-A of IPC as no demand of dowry has been established from the evidence produced by the prosecution.The appellant is in jail; therefore, he is directed to be released from jail forthwith.-9- Cri.A.2199/03 & 690/04Criminal Appeal No.690/04 preferred by the State against the acquittal of the respondents, Ram Kishan, Sushil Kumar, Smt. Rajkumari and Smt. Sunita, is hereby dismissed.","['Section 304B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"Counter affidavit filed today on behalf of State is taken on record.Heard learned counsel for the revisionist and learned AGA for the State.The instant revision is filed under Section 102 of the Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection) Act challenging the order dated 24.01.2020 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Court No. 15, Agra in Criminal (Juvenile) Appeal No. 2 of 2020 by which the appeal filed on behalf of the revisionist was dismissed and order dated 21.12.2019 passed by Principal Magistrate, Juvenile Justice Board, Agra in case crime no. 206 of 2019 under Sections 364, 302, 201, 120B IPC, P.S. Bah, District Agra, rejecting the bail application of the applicant.It is contended by learned counsel for the revisionist that the incident is of 27.03.2019 and the first information report was lodged on 6.7.2019 i.e. after more than three months, under Section 364 IPC against two named persons namely, Vijay and Smt. Sarvesh.It is further contended that accused was not named in the first information report and his name was surfaced in the statement of co-accused Vijay, in which he implicated the revisionist along with other co-accused namely Sainky, Chhatrapal and Smt. Sarvesh.It is further contended by learned counsel for the revisionist that the revisionist has falsely been implicated in the present case, he has no concern with the murder of the deceased.It is further contended that the age of the applicant is juvenile, aged about 16 years 10 months and 23 days on the date of the incident.The report of the DPRO, which is annexed as supplementary affidavit shows that the revisionist is quite normal child having no criminal antecedent nor his family having any chequered past.I have gone through the order impugned and there is no material on record to fall this case under Section 12 of the Juvenile Justice (Care & Protection) Act, 2000 which is quoted hereinbelow :-Bail of juvenile.(1) When any person accused of a bailable or non-bailable offence, and apparently a juvenile, is arrested or detained or appears or is brought before a Board, such person shall, notwithstanding anything contained in the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974) or in any other law for the time being in force, be released on bail with or without surety 1[or placed under the supervision of a Probation Officer or under the care of any fit institution of fit person] but he shall not be so released if there appear reasonable grounds for believing that the release is likely to bring him into association with any known criminal or expose him to moral, physical or psychological danger or that his release would defeat the ends of justice.(3) When such person is not released on bail under sub-section (1) by the Board it shall, instead of committing him to prison, make an order sending him to an observation home or a place of safety for such period during the pendency of the inquiry regarding him as may be specified in the order.""I have carefully seen the order impugned.As per Section 12(1) of Juvenile Justice Act, bail to the minor could be refused, they are:-(i) If there appear reasonable grounds for believing that the release is likely to bring him into association with any known criminal(ii) Or expose him to moral, physical or psychological danger.(iii) Or that his release would defeat the ends of justice.On a careful perusal of the order, their is not even a whisper as to the case of applicant fall within either of the categories mentioned above.It appears that the learned Judge has over obsessed by the sections of IPC in which the applicant is entitled.Consequently the revision stands allowed.","['Section 364 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 201 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The appellant Bajirao and his.JUDGMENT Hemeon, J.at Linga, Chhindwara tahsil; and during the trial charges under Sections 468 and 474 'ibid' were added against the appellant.In appeal, I held that the addition of the charges during the trial might have been prejudicial to the appellant and quashed the convictions and sentences.The State Government, Madhya Pradesh, thereafter moved the Additional Sessions Judge, Chhindwara, to file a complaint against the appellant under sections 468 and 474 of the Indian Penal Code.The objections raised by the appellant were overruled and the Additional Sessions Judge, Chhindwara, directed a complaint to be filed against him.under those sections in a competent Court.The appellant has now come up in appeal against that order.The case against him was, briefly stated, to the effect that the appellant being covetous of Kishan's valuable field, forged with the help of others a sale deed (articles K-1 to K-4), dated.the 25th December 1950, purporting to have been executed by Kishan, had it registered and retained it.Kishan heard a rumour of this and made inquiries from the appellant who assured him that there was no truth in the rumour.The appellant then being apprehensive that the matter would eventually come to light killed Kishan and threw his body into a river.","['Section 468 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 471 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"The prosecution case, in short, is that the prosecutrix (PW-1) was a student, who was working in the house of one Rekwar Sahab resident of Housing Board Colony, Damoh in the evening hours.On 31.10.2008 when the prosecutrix was coming back from the house of Rekwar and she reached near the culvert by the Housing Board Irrigation Colony, the appellant and his companions 2 Cr.A. No.2959/2011 detained her.The appellant held here hands and dragged her in a gutter near the culvert.The appellant administered some liquor to the prosecutrix and thereafter he did rape with the prosecutrix.At the time of incident the companions of the appellant were teasing the prosecutrix by moving their hands on her body.Thereafter the prosecutrix was left to the spot and she became unconscious.When she gained consciousness, she went to her house and informed about the incident to her mother Tulsa Bai (PW-3), one Bhagwati (PW-4) and others.She was taken to the Kotwali Police Station, Damoh where she had lodged an FIR Ex.P-1 on the same day at about 12:05 AM in the night.She was sent for her medico legal examination in the night itself.Dr. Shraddha Gangele (PW-8) examined her and gave a report Ex.She found that blood was oozing from the vagina of the prosecutrix and after cleaning one small abrasion was found on the exterior part of the vagina.Dr. Shraddha Gangele took yellow salwar of the prosecutrix and also prepared two slides of vaginal swab and such articles were handed over to the concerned lady constable.After due investigation, a charge sheet was filed before the CJM Damoh, who committed the case to the Special Court under SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (hereinafter referred to as ""Special Act"").2 Cr.A. No.2959/20113 Cr.A. No.2959/2011The appellant abjured his guilt.He did not take any specific plea.He has stated that he was falsely implicated in the matter.However, no defence evidence was adduced.appellant from the charge of Section 3(2)(v) of the Special Act, but convicted the appellant for the offence under Sections 376(2)(g) and 506 (Part-II) of IPC and sentenced him as mentioned above.The co-accused Neeraj Singh was also acquitted by the trial Court, because his identification could not be established by the prosecution.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties.The learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the testimony of the prosecutrix was not trustworthy and therefore no offence was made out against the appellant.4 Cr.A. No.2959/2011In the present case, the prosecutrix (PW-1), Kanchan (PW-2) sister of the prosecutrix and Tulsa Bai (PW-3) mother of the prosecutrix were examined about the age of the prosecutrix and they had shown that the prosecutrix was 13-14 years old at the time of incident.5 Cr.A. No.2959/2011The prosecutrix has deposed that her age was 13 years at the time of incident and she was not cross examined for the assessment of her age.Similarly, no cross examination was done to the witnesses Kanchan, sister of the prosecutrix and Tulsa Bai, mother of the prosecutrix about the age of the prosecutrix.Under such circumstances, it was established that the prosecutrix was below 16 years of age at the time of incident.6 Cr.A. No.2959/20116 Cr.A. No.2959/2011The prosecutrix (PW-1), Kanchan (PW-2) and Tulsa Bai (PW-3) have stated that the prosecutrix went to work in the house of Rekwar Sahab and she was expected to come back upto 6:30 PM in the evening.When she did not come back, Kanchan and Tulsa Bai etc. started searching the prosecutrix and when they came back to the house, they found that the prosecutrix had already reached the house and she told the entire story as to how the appellant committed rape upon her.Bhagwati (PW-4) was also examined to say that the prosecutrix informed her about the incident, however she turned partly hostile and did not corroborate the story of the prosecutrix.The learned counsel for the appellant has pointed out the various contradictions in the statements of witnesses Kanchan, Tulsa Bai and the prosecutrix and also their evidence with the FIR.However, such are the minor contradictions and by such minor contradictions, the testimony of the prosecutrix cannot be thrown away.For example, time of leaving the house of Rekwar and time when the victim reached her house.If the prosecutrix left the house of Rekwar at about 6:30 PM and she was administered some liquor or intoxicant, then certainly the family members of the prosecutrix could not search her.She was unconscious near the culvert.It is true that Dr. Shraddha Gangele (PW-8) did not find any smell of liquor 7 Cr.A. No.2959/2011 from the mouth of the prosecutrix, but it would be apparent that the liquor was given to the prosecutrix at about 7:00 PM in the evening and she was examined by Dr. Shraddha Gangele at 2:30 AM in the night.Smell of liquor could be in the mouth of the prosecutrix according to the quantity of liquor and the time before which the liquor was administered.Hence, it cannot be said that the testimony of the prosecutrix was incorrect.7 Cr.A. No.2959/2011However, if it is supposed that the prosecutrix was not administered with any liquor, then it was for the appellant to prove that she was a consenting party and looking to her age if she was a consenting party, then still crime under Section 376 of IPC would constitute against the appellant because she had not given any consent for such an intercourse.Similarly, the prosecutrix has accepted that she sustained some injuries due to thorns lying on the earth, but she did not say about other injuries.When Dr. Shraddha Gangele (PW-8) examined the prosecutrix, she could not find any injury caused by thorn unless the prosecutrix would have invited her attention to those injuries.The prosecutrix appears not to be a literate girl and it was not expected from her to invite attention to the doctor to such minor injuries, and simply because Dr. Shraddha Gangele did not find any injury of thorn, the testimony of the prosecutrix cannot be thrown away.8 Cr.A. No.2959/20118 Cr.A. No.2959/2011The most important fact is that the appellant was known to the prosecutrix and the prosecutrix has stated that the appellant and his companions were chasing her from time to time.No enmity was shown by the appellant with the prosecutrix so that she would have lodged a false FIR against the appellant.So far as gang rape is concerned, in this connection the testimony of the prosecutrix cannot be believed because she named three persons to be companions of the appellant Shankar.Out of them she 9 Cr.A. No.2959/2011 mentioned the name of c-accused Neeraj Singh in the FIR but thereafter she sent a letter to the SP concerned that Neeraj Singh was not companion of the appellant Shankar, and therefore the trial Court acquitted the Neeraj Singh co- accused of the appellant.The police could not search the remaining two companions of the appellant.The allegations made by the prosecutrix against the companions of the appellant appear to be unnatural.If the appellant was with other three companions at the time of incident and the other companions were moving their hands on the body of the prosecutrix when the appellant was committing rape, then looking to the mental and physical position of the prosecutrix, the remaining alleged accused could not be prevented to commit rape upon the prosecutrix.If they were interested to move their hands on the body of the prosecutrix, then it was not possible for them to leave the prosecutrix when the appellant Shankar left the prosecutrix.10 Cr.A. No.2959/201111 Cr.A. No.2959/201113 Cr.A. No.2959/2011 The sentence of the appellant may be reduced to the jail sentence of seven years' RI and for reducing the sentence from the minimum limit there should be a strong reason.The appellant is in jail continuously since he was arrested.13 Cr.A. No.2959/2011On the basis of the aforesaid discussion, the present appeal filed by the appellant can be partly accepted.(N.K.Gupta) Judge 25/3/2014 Ansari","['Section 506 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"ORDER Palok Basu, J.In this transfer application under Section 407, Cr.P.C. a short question arises to decide which the necessary factual background needs to be mentioned.There is a shop known as Janta Kendriya Upbhokta Sahkari Bhandar Ltd. situated in Rudrapur, district Deoria, Ram Nazar Tiwari, applicant was allegedly the salesman in the said Bhandar and one Gaya Prasad Dwivedi was said to be the Secretary.On 16-2-1988 an F.I.R. was lodged by the applicant against Gaya Prasad Dwivedi which gave rise to the case Crime No. 444 of 1990 of Police Station-Rudrapur.After investigation the police has admittedly filed a charge sheet under Section 380, I.P.C. against Gaya Prasad Dwivedi which is now pending in the court of I Judicial Magistrate, Deoria.Another F.I.R. has been lodged by Gaya Prasad Dwivedi through the Co-operative Cell at Gorakhpur under Section 409, I.P.C. against Ram Nazar Tiwari, applicant.The controversy is as to whether the two cases which admittedly relate to the goods belonging to the said Bhandar should be tried together by the same court or not.Sri R.B. Tripathi, learned counsel for the applicant stressed that since all the witnesses even in the case instituted at Gorakhpur belonged to Deoria, the place of incident also happens to be Rudrapur situated in the district of Deoria and that the allegations pertain to the district Deoria, interest of justice requires that two trials should be held in Deoria.Sri Surendra Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State, however, stated that since the Gorakhpur F.I.R. was properly investigated by the Co-operative Cell has jurisdiction to institute the charge-sheet in Gorakhpur, the said trial should remain in Gorakhpur.The C.J.M. Deoria is directed to try the two cases referred to above himself or direct both of them to be tried by a competent court.",['Section 409 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
+"This case discloses a lamentable state of affairs.A tale of woe has unfolded itself revealing how the principal characters who are high ranking police officials in charge of the District of Coimbatore in the matter of enforcement of law discharge their sacred duty in a cavalier fashion with a deep sense of irresponsibility and an obdurate disinclination to see the obvious ever ready to take shelter under the slogan 'it is a Civil dispute'.Here are the facts which bear out the remarks made above.The gist of the complaint is as follows :-""Grave injustice has been done to the petitioner and her family by Coimbatore Police Officers Thiru Muthuswamy, D.S.P., Thiru Nazimuddin and Thiru Madhavan B-3 Police Station Inspectors.On the basis of a false complaint made by Balasubramanian of Baba Theatre, the petitioner's husband"" was arrested on 19-2-1989 in spite of anticipatory bail having been obtained by him in the High Court and was kept in the Police Station for a day and a half and ill-treated and thereafter confined in the Central Jail, Coimbatore.On 21-2-1989 when the petitioner was in her sister-in-law's place in Chittalancherry, Palghat Taluk, the petitioner and her sister-in-law were arrested by Coimbatore Inspector Thiru Madhavan and other Police people who came along with Baba Complex Bala-subramanian, Coimbatore D.M.K. leader Thiru Prabhakaran and they were taken to a dingy house in the outskirts of Coimbatore in garden, where they were illtreated and their signatures obtained on blank papers.Thereafter, on 24-2-1989 at 3 a.m. they were taken to B-3 Police Station, Coimbatore and the office of the D.S.P., Coimbatore and illtreated 23-2-1989 evening the petitioner's husband was brought to B-3 Police Station and all of them were taken to the office of the D.S.P. and under threat they were ""compelled to sign an agreement for sale in favour of Rangasamy, an employee of Baba Theatre and Murugesa Gounder, a creditor of the petitioner's husband, for a sum of Rs. 9,00,000/- as if they had received a sum of Rs. 7,50,000/- in cash.The petitioner had filed C.S. No. 175 of 1989 in this Court that the agreement was not valid.As there was danger to the property and life of the petitioner, she could not go to Coimbatore and she was staying in Madras.On 4-3-1989 in the night, a Police party along with an army of goondas went to the petitioner's house and found the relatives and servants of the petitioner and removed them along with all the articles in the house without any exception in a van and 4 or 5 lorries.Thereafter, Balasubramanian and goondas occupied the house.The petitioner has got documentary evidence to prove the same and desired to meet the addressee in person and place the evidence before him.There is danger to the life of the petitioner, her husband and her son and there is a threat that the entire family will be wiped off.As big police officials are threatening the petitioner and her family, they have taken refuge under the addressee.The petitioner does not believe anybody else and prays for protection for herself and her family.The petitioner or her husband is not in a position to go to Coimbatore and file any proceeding in Court as there is no protection for them in Coimbatore.The second respondent is Director General of Police, Tamil Nadu.The third respondent is the D.I.G. of Police, Coimbatore.Respondents 4 to 6 are the parties at whose instance, according to the petitioner, the police committed the atrocities mentioned in her complaint.Respondents 7 to 9 are the Deputy Superintendent of Police, Coimbatore and Sub-Inspector of Police, B-3 Police Station, Coimbatore, respectively.Another telegram was sent to the second respondent.He in turn forwarded it to the Deputy Superintendent of Police who sent it to the Inspector, B-2, Police Station for enquiry and report.On the back of the telegram, there is an endorsement that a report was submitted after compliance.Obviously, no action was taken thereon, as the earlier telegram addressed to the third respondent had been forwarded to the Superintendent of Police.The second respondent sent a communication to the third respondent on 10-5-1989 with the complaint given by the petitioner to the Chief Ministry of the State, requiring him to enquire immediately and send a report within five days.There was a warning that even if there was a delay by one day, action would be taken against the persons concerned.That was received by the third respondent on 15-5-1989, and forwarded to the Superintendent of Police on 18-5-1989 calling for a report before 21-5-1989 without fail.There were reminders by the third respondent to the Superintendent of Police on 24-5-1989 and 30-5-1989 requiring him to send his report immediately in order that a report may be sent to the CM Cell.The petitioner had given a complaint on 15-3-1989 to the Inspector General of Police, Madras, containing the same allegations as found in the complaint dated 27-3-1989 made to the third respondent.In fact, the petitioner's husband has referred to the same in paragraph 6 of his affidavit filed in support of the writ petition.As per the report, the statement of the petitioner could not be recorded as she was not available at Coimbatore and confidential enquiry revealed the following facts :-P. K. Unni was residing at Door No. 55, S.R.P. Nagar, Coimbatore.He was a film producer having his office at No. 17, 3rd Street, Habibullah Road, Madras.He had taken loan from Balasubramaniam, Managing Director, Baba Films, Coimbatore"" and K. Murugesan, Managing Partner, M/s. Murugesan Enterprises, Financiers and Exhibitors, Coimbatore and also from Thiru.Velavendan, Ex.-Minister, Madras and producing films.Subsequently neither he produced the films nor return the loans to the above parties.On 31-1-89 at 18.15 hrs.a case in B-3 Kattoor P.S. Cr. No. 219/89 under section 420, I.P.C. was registered on the complaint preferred by Balasubramaniam, Managing Director, Sri Baba Films, No. 1 Gopalapuram 2nd Street, CBE, by sub-Inspector Thiru.Subramaniam B-3 Crimes.On 20-2-89 at 05.30 hrs.at 55 S. R. P. Nagar, Coimbatore the said Unni was arrested by Tr.Ramamoorthy, Sub-Inspector of Police B-3 Crime and he was remanded to judicial custody on the same day.It is true that the said P. K. Unni obtained an anticipatory bail in the High Court, Madras on 2-1-89 for the case in Cr. No. not known of 1989 on the file of Inspector B-2 Police Station, Coimbatore.""On 20-2-89 at 22.00 hrs.on the complaint of Balasubramaniam M. D. Sri.Baba Films, Coimbatore against P. K. Unni, his son Dileesh and Seethalakshmi and 2 others, a case in B-3 Kattoor P.S. Cr. No. 327/89 under section 342, 347, 364, 365, I.P.C. was registered for abducting the Accountant Remanathan on 19-2-89 in the Car when Balasubramaniam and Ramanathan, the Accountant approached Unni and his family members to settle the issue on the request made by Unni over phone.On 21-2-89, S.I. Tr. A. K. Madhavan of B-3 Kattoor Law and Order Police Station with PC 991 Muthu and W.P.C. 1804 Rejeswari and 1714 Jayadevi visited Citalanjeri, Palghat district and brought Seethalakshmi, her sister-in-law Kalyani to B-3 Kattoor P.S. at 16.00 hrs.""During the enquiry it reveals that it is a civil dispute about the money transaction.Hence D.S.P. advised the parties to settle the issues either among themselves or in the Court of law.They effected a compromise among themselves in the presence of lawyers representing all the parties and a deed was executed.As such no further action need to be taken on the petition.The Range Office original references are retransmitted herewith.""Enquiry reveals that the petitioner is having her own house at Dr. No. 55, S.R.P. Nagar, Coimbatore which is in ""R. S. Puram P.S. limits.It is not the case of respondents 4 to 6 in C.S. No. 175 of 1989 in which they are defendants 1 to 3 that there was any panchayat or compromise as a result of which an agreement for sale was entered into by the petitioner herein, who is the plaintiff in that suit.According to them, possession was with respondents 4 and 5 from 24-2-1989 when a portion of the house was delivered by the petitioner and from 26-2-1989 when the rest of the house was delivered to them.That fact itself should have put them on the trail and they should have continued the investigation.Stranger is the statement found in the last report dated 21-6-1989 that the petitioner was not available at Madras and her whereabouts were not known.She filed an application in the High Court to appoint an advocate Commissioner to take an inventory of the articles in her house at Coimbatore, lock the house and deposit the key in the Court.On 3-3-1989 Thiru Haja Naziruddin was appointed as Commissioner by the Madras High Court to take an inventory of the articles in the house and to find out who was in possession of the same.On 4-3-1989, the Commissioner inspected the house in the morning and took an inventory of all the articles and also noted that the petitioner's son and other relatives were in the house.He filed a report in the High Court to that ""effect.The petitioner prays for return of all ""the articles taken away by Balasubramanian, the police party and the army of goondas from their house on 4-3-1989"".That was followed by a personal meeting of the petitioner's counsel with the third respondent and a copy of the same complaint was also handed over to him.There being no information or indication of the action taken on the complaint, the petitioner's counsel sent a letter on 7-6-1989 to the third respondent that he had no information of the action taken by the latter and requested him to cause the furnishing of the file number of the case etc. There was also a hint in the letter that the writ Court will be moved, if needed.But, the petitioner continued to be kept in dark without any information of the action taken on her complaint.Hence, the petitioner was obliged to move this Court under Art. 226 of the Constitution of India with a prayer for issue of a Mandamus to the second respondent to initiate at once appropriate enquiry and investigation into the complaint of the petitioner against respondents 4 to 9 as contained in the written complaint dated 27-3-1989 submitted to the third respondent annexed as Annexure A to the writ petition.The first respondent in the writ petition is the State of Tamil Nadu represented by the Chief Secretary to the Government.Notice of motion was ordered on 21-6-1989 returnable in two weeks.The other respondents entered appearance shortly thereafter.He felt that the matter should be heard by me as I had dealt with the civil dispute between the petitioner on the one hand and respondents 4 to 6 on the other, on the original side and as a contempt application was pending before me relating to the same matter.At his instance, the papers were placed before the Officiating Chief Justice who directed the writ petition to be posted before me with the contempt matter.However, I had to adjourn the matter to another date to enable the writ petitioner to file a supplemental affidavit explaining an omission in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition.In spite of the fact that appearance had been entered in the writ petition as early as on 28-6-1989 by respondents 2 and 3, neither of them gave any serious thought to this proceeding under Art. 226 of the Constitution of India relating to an indictment made against some senior Police officials of Coimbatore.It is stated therein that on 15-3-1989 a complaint in writing was submitted to an Inspector General of Police, one Mr. Dorairaj who was later met by the deponent's counsel and who asked the counsel to go to Coimbatore and meet the third respondent personally.The complaint handed over to the Inspector General of Police, Madras, was forwarded to the third respondent, who sent it to the Superintendent of Police on 10-4-1989 calling for a report from the latter.Thus, the Superintendent of Police had with him the telegraphic complaint as well as the written complaint given to the Inspector General of Police, Madras, and the complaint addressed to the Chief Minister of the State.On 21-2-89, Dileesh Kumar, s/o.Unni also came to B-3 Kattoor P.S. by that time.Then the Sub-Inspector questioned them and sent them out subsequently.On 23-2-89 Tr. K. K. Muthusamy, D.S.P., L&O enquired into the matter on the petition given by Balasubramaniam and Murugesan with Unni and others.The commissioner Tr.Khaja Nizirudeen appointed by the High Court, Madras visited the place on 4-3-89 and he would have submitted a report to the High Court.The agreement was prepared and accepted by both the parties will-fully and there is no foul play.Further a civil suit is also pending in the High Court over the issue.The third respondent was not satisfied with the report.He returned it to the Superintendent of Police immediately with the following endorsement dated 1-6-1989 :-""Retd.(i) The S.P. will send for the petitioner, examine her and record her statement as told by her.(ii) He will also examine other connected persons.(iii) He must also go through the records/ documents if any in this episode (relating to dispute between the petitioner and one Baba complex.(iv) Pl.""Inspector of Police, Bs (L&O) P.S. conducted an enquiry on the allegations made in this telegram.Cases have been registered against the petitioner and her husband both in B-3 L&O and crime Police Stations.It is learnt that the petitioner's husband owed some lakhs of rupees to the counter petitioners, Balu and Murugesa Gounder, for which a Panchayat was held.Then the petitioner herself vacated the premises and gave it for the counter-petitioner's possession.Subsequently, on consulting her advocates, she sent up this telegram, alleging that her mother and servants were forcibly evicted from her residence.Now this dispute is pending in the High Court, Madras.Under these circumstances this telegram needs no further action.""Thus, on 10-6-1989, the Superintendent of Police, Coimbatore, had with him not only the records previously sent to him but also the letter of petitioner's counsel dated 7-6-1989 and the documents enclosed therewith.It is necessary to point out here that the following documents were enclosed with the petitioner's counsel's letter dated 7-6-1989 :-Copy of report and list filed by advocate Commissioner.Copy of High Court judgment in application for redelivery of house.Detailed list of articles and statement of value.The receipt of these documents cannot be disputed as they are found among the records produced by the third respondent before this Court.It should also be mentioned at this stage that on 29-4-1989 the advocate Commissioner appointed by me to redeliver possession of the house to the petitioner with the aid of the police had approached the Superintendent of Police, Coimbatore with a request to depute personnel to help him in taking possession of the house and delivering it to the petitioner.The Superintendent of Police had instructed the Deputy Superintendent of Police to do the needful and directed the advocate-Commissioner to meet the Deputy Superintendent of Police, who is the 7th respondent herein.The 7th respondent deputed one Inspector by name Mr. Chinnasamy from the Control Room and seven constables.What happened thereafter is not relevant for the purpose of this case.On 12-6-1989, the third respondent called upon the Superintendent of Police to expedite his report immediately as an urgent report to CM's Cell was being held up.In reply thereto, the Superintendent of Police informed the third respondent by communication dated 15-6-1989 which was received by the third respondent on 19-6-1989 that a Sub-Inspector of Police from District Special Branch, Coimbatore Urban had been directed to Madras to obtain a written statement from the petitioner herein and on receipt of the same, the report will be sent to the third respondent shortly.On 21-6-1989, the following report is sent by the Superintendent of Police to the third respondent and received by him on 22-6-1989 :-""The petitioner Smt. Seethalakshmi is not available at Madras in the address, furnished by her in the petition.Since this is a civil dispute petitioner has to seek remedy through the Court only.In these circumstances it is opined that no further action needs to be taken on this petition.""On the basis of the said report, the third respondent sent a report to the second respondent, the relevant portion of which reads as follows :-""This petition was enquired into by the Inspector District Special Branch, CBE Urban.The petitioner's husband Tr.Unni has been arrested on 20-2-89 and sent for judicial custody on the same day on a complaint preferred by the CP.Balasubramaniam ""dealt in B-3 Kattur PS Cr.No. 219/89 under section 420 I.P.C. On 21-2-89, on another complaint of abduction preferred by the CP dealt in B-3 Kattur PS Cr. No. 327/89, under section 342, 347, 364, 365, I.P.C., the petitioner her son and sister-in-law have been arrested and let off subsequently.On 23-2-89, as per the advise of the DSP-City L&O both the parties effected a compromise among themselves in the presence of lawyers representing all the parties and a deed was executed.Records produced before me do not disclose the names of the persons who were enquired and whether any statement was recorded from any person by the Inspector who is supposed to have held the enquiry.The enquiry is described as confidential in one place and discreet in another place.The enquiry was not held with a view to find out the truths.But, it was done with a view to submit a report on the lines drawn already.While the report dated 4-6-1989 states that the petitioner herself vacated the premises and gave it to the counter petitioners' possession pursuant to a panchayat, the report dated 27-5-1989 contained the version that a compromise was effected in the presence of lawyers representing all the parties and a deed was executed, but strangely Balasubramanian took possession of the house on 4-3-1989 night after the advocate-Commissioner visited the place and took an inventory of the articles found in the house.As pointed out already, the third respondent as well as the Superintendent of Police had with them the letter of the petitioner's counsel dated 7-6-1989, which displayed his phone number.The easiest thing for them was to have contacted the petitioner's counsel by phone and ascertained the whereabouts of the petitioner.It should be noted that this writ petition was filed on 21-6-1989, the date borne by the last report of the Superintendent of Police, Coimbatore.The report dated 27-5-1989 admits the factum of anticipatory bail obtained by the petitioner's husband.Secondly, the third respondent asserts categorically that the petitioner's husband was never arrested by the Sub-Inspector of Police, B-3 Police Station, Law and Order, i.e., the 9th respondent.The fact that the petitioner's husband was arrested by the Sub-Inspector of Police B-3 Police Station is admitted by respondents 8 and 9 in their counter-affidavits, though according to them the person who actually arrested him was not the 9th respondent but a Sub-Inspector who was temporarily in charge as respondents 8 and 9 had gone on leave on the relevant date.The third respondent may try to take shelter under a technicality that his statement pertained only to an arrest by the 9th respondent.It is not fair on the part of a high official like the third respondent to make an assertion that the petitioner's husband was never arrested by the Sub-Inspector of Police, B-3 Police Station when the records produced by him and the counter-affidavits filed by respondents 8 and 9 prove to the contrary.Learned Government Pleader appearing for respondents 1 to 3 contended that the complaint dated 27-3-1989 did not give full particulars of the persons who are said to have committed the offence.According to him, the names of the persons who formed the the police party or the army of goondas said to have accompanied the 6th respondent on the night of 4-3-1989 are not furnished in the complaint.The rule does not give a license to any party to a civil dispute to indulge in crimes.","['Section 173 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 365 in The Indian

Yunis and recovery of incriminating articles.Nirankar Sarup (Public Witness 9) and Har Pershad (Public Witness 10) were summoned by the Killa Police Bareilly.They arrived at the police station at about Ii P.M. Taking these persons with himself Bajaj and the raiding party went to the house of Mohd. Yunis at 33 Phoolwalan Bareilly.He saw that man sitting in that shop on 5 or 6 different occasions.One day that man whom he identified as Saleemuddin, requested him to take him to the Aerodrome as he had not seen an air-craft.He said he was sorry he could not do so because civilians were not allowed to enter the Aerodrome.During his subsequent visits Mohd. Atique introduced him to Mohd. Yunis.He told them of what he knew.They then asked him if he knew the name of any officer working at the air-port and whether there was any officer Gupta by name.The witness pleaded his ignorance.B. Lal (Public Witness 14) deposed that the writer of Ex. Pcc was the same person who had written the specimen writing Ex. Pq (S2).Ex. Pq contains an exact re-production of the contents of Ex. PCC.It was written in Ex. Pcc that on July 29 from 7.45 P.M. to 8.30 P.M. there was a black out in Bareilly.The name of the Wing Commander at Bareilly was also mentioned and it was stated that the writer had made friends with Ravi Kumar who was employed in the repairing station at the Izzat Nagar Air Port.It was further mentioned in this report that the area of the aerodrome was being extended and that a sketch of the air field was under preparation.There was also a reference to an under-ground air-field in the cantonment area and that the writer was trying to locate it.(52) EX.JUDGMENT Hardayal Hardy, J.(1) This judgment will dispose of two criminal appeals and one criminal revision.(2) The appellant Saleemuddin was being tried along with one Riaz Ahmed, a Pakistan national.Two other persons, Mohd. Atique and Mohd. Yunis were also being tried along with them.By a judgment dated October 31, 1969 delivered by the Additional Sessions Judge, Riaz Ahmed, Mohd. Atique and Mohd. Yunis were acquitted of the charge framed against them while Saleemuddin was convicted and sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for five years for an offence punishable under Section 120B Indian Penal Code read with Section 3 of the Indian Official Secrets Act. 1923 and also to rigorous imprisonment for five years under Section 3 In a judgment which but for the errors to which we shall presently refer, is extremely well written, the learned trial Judge has held that Riaz Ahmed being a foreign national could not be tried in this country for the offence of conspiracy which according to him was committed outside India.He was, however, arrested before he could contact Saleemuddin at Bareilly.Saleemuddin did commit acts of espionage at Bareilly by making a rough sketch and preparing an intelligence report relating to Izzat Nagar Air-port at Bareilly.He also sent some reports to the Pakistan Intelligence earlier and was therefore guilty of conspiracy and espionage.[After discussing the facts, the judgment proceeded.] (4) The case was tried by Shri K. S. Sidhu, Addl.Sessions Judge Delhi.who on a consideration of.The said confession was no doubt made after the accused had remained in police custody for nearly 13 days, but in the opinion of the learned trial Judge, this circumstance alone did not detract from the voluntary nature of the confession.The, letter was delivered to Riaz Ahmed for being delivered to Saleemuddin at Bareilly.In this letter Malik Salim was apparently telling Saleemuddin that instead of Riaz he was sending Asif because Riaz had to under-go 'some surgery.The word ""Riaz"" obviously has reference to another person bearing that name.But since the name of the accused was also Riaz he was being sent under the assumed name of Asif.Ex. PL/1 is a photograph of Saleemuddin bearing his signatures on its back.The offence was complete as soon as Riaz Ahmed who was a national of Pakistan, agreed to be a party to the conspiracy at Lahore.He was arrested in India before he could do any illegal act in this country in pursuance of the conspiracy and that is why no charge for an offence under Section 3 of the Indian Official Secrets Act, 1923 was framed against him.We were told that the State was satisfied about his death.The appeal against him, therefore, abates.(26) According to the learned Judge, the evidence produced by the prosecution relating to the alleged participation of Mohd. Yunis in the conspiracy, consisted of his confessional statement (Ex.PM/7), recovery of an incriminating document (Ex. FEE) from his possession, the oral testimony of Chander Pal (Public Witness 16) and Ravi Kumar (PW4) and the evidence of the handwriting expert.The said document.Mohd. Yunis was found present in the house.He made a disclosure statement (Ex. PUU) in consequence of which a sketch (Ex. PEE) indicating important places and buildings at the lzzat Nagar Air-field, Bareilly was recovered from his house.(30) Learned trial Judge has held that the house of Mohd. Yunis is not far away from the house of Saleemuddin.Although the exact distance was not mentioned, both the houses are within the jurisdiction of the same police station and Mohalla Phoolwalan is not far away from the house of Saleemuddin in Mohalla Phoota Darwaza.According to the learned Judge, if Mohd. Yunis who was living in a house close by and the proceedings for the search of the house of Saleemuddin continued from 4.30 P.M. to 8.00 P.M. he must have in all probability come to know that the house of Saleemuddin had been raided and would have taken steps, to remove the offending article.The evidence does not furnish any material in support of this particular observation of the learned Judge.Bajaj and other members of the raiding party were in plain clothes.There is no evidence on record to show that when the house of Saleemuddin was being searched from 4.30 to 8.00 P.M. any other persons besides the members of the raiding party and the occupants of the house were present.The search took place inside the house.Even while the police was waiting outside for 15 to 20 minutes before Saleemuddin arrived there, there is nothing to suggest that their presence was being marked by any members of the public.The two houses of Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis are no doubt within the jurisdiction of police station Killa but they are not in the same street.We were told that the house of Mohd. Yunis is at a distance of about 220 yards from the house of Saleemuddin and that they are in different streets.It is therefore not possible to agree with the trial Judge that Mohd. Yunis ""must have in all probability come to know that the house of Saleem- ud-din had been raided"" nor does it follow there from that Mohd. Yunis would have destroyed the incriminating document before the police raided his house.Nirankar Sarup does not belong to the locality of Mohalla Phoolwalan.His shop is very close to the police station.He also admitted that Bhagwati Pershad (PW. 5) who had earlier lent his services to the police at the time of its raid on the house of Saleemuddin, is one of his co-sharers in the rickshaw business.The learned Judge has also held that he had been specially called by the police through a constable from a paan shop at about 11.00 P.M. when the police was getting ready to go for the search of the house of the accused.We have looked into the evidence of this witness and since the observations of the learned Judge are not based on the impressions formed by him when the witness was under examination, it is open to us to look into his evidence.(32) Nirankar Sarup admitted in cross-examination that Bhagwati Pershad used to keep his rickshaws, 5 or 6 in number, in his stand and passed on the profits from those rickshaws to him.But assuming there was some kind of partnership between them in the rickshaw business, Bhagwati Pershad was not a witness in the case of raid on the house of Mohd. Yunis.If from the same locality the police summoned two persons who were co-sharers in their business and the services of one of them were utilised as an independent witness of search in one case, it does not follow that the other person whose services were utilised several hours thereafter for search in a different house, would cease to become reliable.It is only after Saleemuddin was taken to the police station and interrogated that the name of Mohd. Yunis was .revealed and thereafter Bajaj proceeded to the house of Mohd. Yunis.It has not been shown that Nirankar Sarup was known to Bajaj.He was called to the police station through a constable who according to the witness, was not even known to him.A suggestion was put to him in cross-examination that some one had lodged , report against him that he had kidnapped some one's daughter and that he had succeeded in getting the case dropped by using his influence with the police.He denied the suggestion and nothing has been placed on record to show that there is any truth in the allegation.If the evidence of Bhagwati Pershad has been believed by the learned trial Judge, there is no reason why the evidence of this witness who is apparently more respectable than Bhagwati Pershad.According to his statement, his house is at a distance of about 100 to 125 yards from Thana Killa whereas the distance from his house to the house of Mohd. Yunis would be between 3 to 4^ furlongs.Can it be said under these circumstances that he was not a witness from the locality ? The search was carried out sometime after 11.00 P.M. It was the month of August.There might have been quite a number of persons living near the house of Mohd. Yunis but if the police took with themselves some one whose house was half a mile away from that house, it cannot be said that the witness did not belong to the locality, particularly when no connection has been shown between Bajaj or any other police officer belonging to Police Station Killa at Bareilly.(33) The next witness of search is Har Pershad (Public Witness 10).' He actually belongs to Mohalla Phoolwalan, and is therefore a witness from the locality.He said that in his presence Mohd. Yunis had told the police that a map was.lying in almirah in his house and that he could produce it.The map Ex. Pee was produced from between two books lying in the almirah.The recovery memo Ex. Public Witness bears the signature of this witness.In cross-examination it was brought out that he had instituted a complaint against Fiaz-ud-din father of Saleemuddin and that showed his enmity against the accused.It however transpired that he had done so after this case, because the accused had harassed him a lot through thier friends and relations by trying to bring influence on him not to give evidence against them.Another ground urged by Mr. Anthony was that the witness had stated that he signed the sketch Ex. Fee and also the recovery memo Ex. Puu, and in fact he had signed only one of those documents.The other witness Nirankar Sarup had mentioned that he had signed only one of the two documents.If the witness made a slight mistake, it cannot be said that his evidence as such is not relevant or admisible.Both the witnesses of sketch have supported the prosecution case about the recovery of Ex. FEE.(36) Mr. Anthony lastly argued that Nirankar Sarup could not give the direction in which the main entrance of the house of Mohd, Yunis was situated.The witness gave a complete description of the inner apartments and merely because he could not say whether the main entrance was to the East or to the West or to the North or to the South, would hardly discredit his testimony.(37) We, therefore, hold that the prosecution evidence fully establishes the recovery of Ex. Fee from the house of Mohd. Yunis.There is also the evidence of the handwriting expert, Shri B. Lal (FW 14).According to that witness, the document Ex. Pee is entirely in the hand of Mohd. Yunis and all the writings in that document are in his hand.But there is one piece of writing (Ex. Q 11/1) which is encircled red and is in the handwriting of Saleem-ud- din.If there was no connection between Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis a document showing the building etc., in Izzat Nagar Air-port prepared by Mohd. Yunis could not contain the writing of Saleem-ud- din.The presence of this document, therefore, clearly establishes the association between Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis and the possession of Ex. Pee shows the common concert between them.The association between Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis is also amply proved by the oral testimony of Chander Pal (Public Witness 16) and Ravi Kumar (Public Witness 4).Ravi Kumar who was a leading Air-craftsman at the lzzat Nagar Air-port at Bareilly was living in a private accommodation.He and his wife used to go to Bara Bazar for shopping.They used to buy cosmetics etc. from a shop known as Citizens Centre.(38) MOHD.Atique was one of the salesman at that shop.In 1968 Mohd. Atique introduced him to another person whom he described as a compounder working with a doctor.He was told that Mohd. Yunis was a student of M.Sc.and was working in a rubber factory in Bareilly.He denied the suggestion that he had made the statement in court under the fear of dismissal on the allegations of mixing up with civilians.The police came to know about this witness from one of the documents found from the possession of Saleemuddin and, therefore, examined him as a witness.(39) The witness is a Maharashtrian.He has no animus against the accused.Nothing has been brought on record to show that he was making the statement in court under pressure from the police.No question was put to him about his acquaintance with Bajaj.The only outcome of his evidence is that the shop of Mohd. Atique was the rendezvous of Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis and that Saleemuddin was eager to visit Izzat Nagar Air-port.(40) Chander Pal was a cleaner in a truck which was employed to carry bricks from the kiln of Asa Nand to the Air-port for Bharat Builders who were doing construction work there.During that period two youngmen, Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis met him at the kiln and asked him about lzzat Nagar Air-port.(41) In cross-examination he stated that the two accused spent about 3 to 4 hours at the kiln and that he did not ask them why they were asking those questions.This evidence by itself is not of any importance but when read in conjunction with the sketch (Ex. PEE) which shows the various buildings and their location in the air-port and which bears the writings of Mohd. Yunis and Saleemuddin, it is apparent that these two persons must have been going round and meeting persons who had occasion to be inside the air-port.(51) The documents recovered from the possession of the accused and from the search of his house clearly implicate this accused.Apart from Ex. Pqq, Ex. Pcc is the intelligence report which had been prepared by the accused and had been kept ready by him for delivery to Riaz Ahmed who was expected to contact him at Bareilly.Ex. Pqq (S2) is a specimen writing of the accused made in the presence of a magistrate.Pz recovered from the possession of the accused is an incomplete rough sketch of the lzzat Nagar Air-port.B. Lal, the document expert, compared the writing in Ex. Pz with the specimen writing Ex.PQ/3 of Saleemuddin and deposed that the disputed words in Ex. Pz were written by Saleemuddin.The reference in the sketch to Ex. Pcc also goes to show that this sketch was prepared by the accused.The recovery of the typed brief Ex.PY and the handwritten brief in Urdu (Ex. PAA) from the possession of the accused further establishes that he was engaged in espionage activities at Bareilly in pursuance of a criminal conspiracy, in terms of these briefs.The pocket diary Ex. Pbb contains some nothings in his hand which further establish that he was engaged in espionage activities at Bareilly.This document shows that he had seen some movie on June 21, at Bareilly.In Ex. Pbb he made an entry thereof (Ex. Q8/5) giving the tail numbers of some aeroplanes which seem to have been shown in flight in the news reel.There is another entry dated June 20, showing that he had already dispatched one intelligence report (Ex. RPT) to the other conspirators in Pakistan.Ex. Pss is a post-card letter purported to have been written by one Anwar Nasim from Pakistan to Saleemuddin accused at Bareilly.In that letter Anwar Nasim was remonstrating with the accused and had inquired if Riaz Ahmed had met him.The confession (Ex. PK/1 ) made by Riaz Ahmed also lends assurance to the conclusion that Saleemuddin accused was a party to the criminal conspiracy.The documents recovered from Riaz Ahmed also fortify the conclusion that Saleemuddin was a party to the conspiracy for collecting information regarding defense installations in India.Ex. Pl, handed over to Riaz Ahmed by Malik Salim for onward delivery to Saleemuddin at Bareilly is another document incriminating the accused.In that letter the word ""Sari"" has been written.But according to the cipher code adopted by the conspirators the word ""Sari"" stood for ""Intelligence Report."" The documents recovered from Riaz Ahmed viz. PL/I, PL/2, and PL/3 are also incriminatory of Saleemuddin.These documents clearly establish the guilt of Saleemuddin in the charge of criminal conspiracy.(54) There is also evidence implicating the accused in an offence under Section 3 of the Indian Official Secrets Act. One of the counts relates to the rough sketch Ex. Pz and to the intelligence report Ex. PCC.(55) In their examination under Section 342 Criminal Procedure Code all the three accused denied their complicity in the offence alleged against them.Riaz Ahmed stated that he was a Pakistani national and had entered India on August 13, 1948 without any travel documents.He admitted that he had visited India on two occasions on the authority of travel documents.But this time it was on the advice of his maternal uncle who was residing at Amritsar that he came to India without any travel documents.He said that he had done so because he was advised by his maternal uncle that if he wanted to settle in India he should come without a pass-port.He denied having made a confession and added that he was arrested at Amritsar and that he had written on the Railway Time Table (Ex. PX) at Amritsar Railway Station the words Sohan Lal, because he wanted to settle down in India with Sohan Lal as his name.He said that he did not disclose to the police the name of his maternal uncle and that he did not know any of the other accused.(56) Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis also denied all connections with the conspiracy.As regards the photograph (Ex. PL/1), Saleem-ud- din admitted that it was his photograph and that he had also signed it at the back.He said he had sent it from Bareilly to his beloved Noor Bihar of Sialkot and that in the accompanying letter he had mentioned about his meeting with Capt. Shukla and that is why the letter was censored and retained.He denied having made the confession.Mohd. Yunis denied his connection with the conspirary.He also denied having made any confession.He admitted that he was identified by Chander Pal and Ravi Kumar at the identification parade, but being the tallest among all the participants in the parade and having been asked to put on the same clothes which he was wearing at the time of his admission to jail and with his glasses removed, he was made to join the parade.He stated that he was suffering from tuberculosis and heart trouble.(57) The statement of the accused is thus one of denial.There is clear evidence to support the case of conspiracy against all the three accused.There is also evidence of an offence under Section 3 of the Indian Official Secrets Act, 1923 against Saleemuddin and Mohd. Yunis.(58) The question that arises for consideration is what sentence should be inflicted on them.The maximum sentence provided for the offence under Section 3 of the Indian Official Secrets Act, 1923 is 14 years.The offences have been committed by the accused after great deliberation and planning both in Pakistan and in India.The information that the accused were collecting in India relates to military secrets of vital nature.The learned Addl.Sessions Judge has himself held that the offences being serious the accused deserved deterrent punishment.Supplying information about defense installations in this country to a country which has already been at war with this country.It imperils not only the security of the country but exposes its military equipment and people to destruction.We therefore convict Riaz Ahmed and Saleemuddin of the offence of conspiracy and give them the sentence of ten years' rigorous imprisonment each.The sentence of five years rigorous imprisonment awarded by the trial Court to Saleemuddin appears to us to be highly in-adequate.Both the sentences against him will.however, run concurrently.(59) The case against Mohd. Yunis stands on a different footing.He is a young college student reading for the M.Sc.The sentence awarded to him is.however, not to be treated as a precedent in such cases.It is the state of his health and want of evidence about his connections with foreign spies which impel us to treat his case with leniency.We are told that he is due to appear for his M.Sc. examination soon.The jail authorities may make arrangements for his taking the examination.(60) The result is that the appeal of Saleemuddin is dismissed while the appeal and Criminal revision filed by the State are allowed.The appeal against Mohd. Atique abates.","['Section 120B in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 2 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 4 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 3 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 380 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"(28/11/2017) Per S.K.Awasthi, J.This Judgment shall govern the outcome of Criminal Appeal No. 140/1999, Criminal Appeal No. 159/1999 and Criminal Appeal No. 114/1999 which have been preferred against the Judgment dated 25.02.1999 passed in Sessions Trial No. 205/1990 whereby the Trial Court has convicted the appellants of each appeal indicated hereinabove for commission of offences punishable under Section 302 read with Section 149 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 (in short, 'IPC') with respect to death of Lekhan Singh.Similarly, the appellants have been convicted under the same provisions of IPC with respect to death of Govind Singh.The appellants have also been convicted under Section 325 read with Section 149 of IPC for inflicting grievous injuries upon Chain Singh and Ram Singh.Lastly, the appellants have been convicted for commission of offences punishable under Section 323 read with Section 149 of IPC with respect to the injuries suffered by Dhondu in addition to conviction under Section 148 of IPC.Therefore, the situation which emerges with respect to the punishment is that the appellants have been sentenced to undergo life imprisonment with fine of Rs.5000/- each for causing death of Lekhan Singh and Govind Singh and the appellants have also been directed to undergo two years rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.2000/- each for causing grievous hurt to Chain Singh and Ram Singh.Additionally, the appellants have been directed to serve three months rigorous imprisonment with fine of Rs.500/- for causing hurt to Dhondu, 3 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP with default stipulation.The appellants have also been sentenced to one year rigorous imprisonment for their conviction under Section 148 of IPC.The facts which emerge for adjudication are that on 07.08.1990, Sher Singh (PW-12), the father of deceased Lekhan Singh and Govind Singh, narrated the incident before the Police that occurred on same day in evening, that the accused persons, who were equipped with weapons such as Lohangi, Lathi, Farsa etc., had constituted an unlawful assembly and cornered the deceased persons by inflicting several injuries on them which were fatal in nature and eventually led to their death.During the occurrence of the said incident, the other victims namely, Chain Singh, Ram Singh and Dhondu, also suffered injuries inflicted by the unlawful assembly of persons which included the present appellants.The respondent proceeded to record an FIR bearing Crime No. 108/1990 (Ex. P-27) and named all the accused persons for commission of offences punishable under Sections 302, 307, 147, 148 read with Section 149 of IPC.Subsequently, the deceased persons and other injured victims were taken to the Hospital where their medical examinations were carried out; however, on the next date i.e. 08.08.1990, Lekhan Singh and Govind Singh succumbed to the injuries sustained by them and the post-mortem was conducted by Dr. A.D. Bhatnagar (PW-4).In the Post Mortem Report (Ex. P-7) in relation to Govind Singh, it was observed that the deceased Govind Singh sustained thirteen injuries which were caused by hard and blunt object, out of which the injuries enlisted at Serial No. 1 and 2 of the Post-Mortem Report were concluded as being fatal in nature and the cause of death was recorded as Cerebral Hemorrhage and the person died while in the state of Coma.Thereafter, another Post-Mortem Report (Ex. P-11) was prepared with respect to the deceased, Lekhan Singh, according to which the deceased Lekhan Singh received as 4 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP many as fourteen injuries, out of which Injuries No. 5 and 12 were caused by a sharp-edged weapon whereas the remaining injuries were by a hard and blunt object.Lastly, it was concluded that Injury No. 12 which was caused on occipital region resulted into clotting of blood and was fatal in nature.Consequently, Dr. A.D. Bhatnagar (PW-4) observed that the cause of death was Cerebral Hemorrhage and the death occurred while the person was in the state of Coma.The Medical Reports with respect to the remaining victims indicated that they had suffered injuries caused by hard and blunt object.The respondent on the basis of evidence collected during the course of investigation and the medical evidence which had come on record, proceeded to present the chargesheet against the accused persons including the present appellants.Consequently, the charges were framed on 12.01.1995 against all the accused persons for commission of offences punishable under Section 302 of IPC read with Section 149 of IPC as also for commission of offences punishable under Section 307 read with Section 149 of IPC and Section 148 of IPC.However, later on, additional charges were framed by the Trial Court against all the accused persons with respect to death of Lekhan Singh on 04.10.1997 for commission of offences punishable under Section 302 read with Section 149 of IPC.The prosecution was given an opportunity to lead evidence and as many as sixteen witnesses were examined by the prosecution which included the statement of Chain Singh (PW-13) and Ram Singh (PW-14) who also sustained injuries during the occurrence of the incident whereas one of the accused persons, namely, Anant Singh, took the plea of alibi by submitting that he was admitted in a Hospital in District Vidisha at the time of the incident.In order to substantiate the plea of alibi, the statement of Dr. SGS Khare (DW-1) was recorded.5 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MPUpon cumulative consideration of the material on record and statements of the witnesses produced by the prosecution, the Trial Court proceeded to pronounce impugned Judgment dated 25.02.1999 and convicted the present appellants for commission of offences stated hereinabove.This Judgment is the subject-matter of the instant appeals before this Court.During pendency of the appeals, appellant No.1-Prakash Singh of Criminal Appeal No.140/1999 died, therefore, his appeal stands dismissed.The learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the prosecution witnesses who have been presented as ocular witnesses, namely, Geeta Bai (PW-5), Sharda Bai (PW-6), Chain Singh (PW-13), Ram Singh (PW-14), are the family members of the deceased persons and are interested witnesses.Therefore, their testimonies cannot be relied upon to convict the present appellants.It was further contended that the Doctor, who had performed the Post-Mortem of the deceased persons, namely, Dr. AD Bhatnagar (PW-4), had categorically stated in Para 14 of the statement recorded before the Trial Court that the injuries suffered by Lekhan Singh can be caused if a person falls down on the floor.Therefore, on the basis of statements of the interested witnesses, it cannot be assumed that the appellants had inflicted the injuries which find mention in the Post-Mortem Reports (Ex. P-7 and Ex. P-11).The learned counsel for the appellants laid much emphasis on the fact that according to the Medical Reports as well as the Post Mortem Reports, the injuries caused were simple and therefore, no intention to cause injuries which are sufficient for death in the ordinary course of nature can be gathered in the facts of the present case.We have given our anxious consideration on the contentions raised by the rival parties and the material available on record.First of all, it is to be considered whether the death of deceased Govind and Lekhan was homicidal in nature or not ? In this connection, the evidence given by Dr. A.D.Bhatnagar (PW-4) may be considered, who performed the postmortem on the body of the deceased Govind and found following injuries vide his report Ex.(i) One lacerated wound on occipital region towards left side, size 2""x1/2""x bone deep compound fracture;(ii) One lacerated wound on left temporal region size 1""x1/2""x bone deep compound fracture;(iii) One lacerated wound on right side over parietal region 1/2""x1""x1/4"";stitched, stitches removed before examination.(iv) One abrasion on left clavicle bone near sternum size 2""x1/2"";(vi) One abrasion on left shoulder joint posteriorly size 2""x1"" swelling;(vii) One contusion on left clavicle bone near shoulder joint size 1""x1"" brownish in colour;(viii) One abrasion on left elbow joint size 1""x1/2"";(ix) One contusion on right leg 2"" above ankle joint laterally size 3""x2"" brownish in colour;(x) Four contusions on left leg, thigh behind knee joint (posteriorly) size 2""x2"", 3""x2"", 2""x2"", 2- 1/2""x2"" swelling brownish in colour;(xi) One contusion on left knee joint laterally 2""x2""brownish in colour;(xii) One contusion on left popliteal fossa size 2""x2"", reddish brown in colour swelling positive;(xiii) One contusion on right shoulder in joint posteriorly size 2""x2"" reddish brown in colour.Dr. A.D.Bhatnagar further submitted that he has performed the postmortem of deceased Lekhan Singh and found following injuries vide his report Ex.P/11 :-(i) One contusion on right forearm from hands up to elbow x 3"" reddish brown in colour, swelling positive;(ii) One contusion on left side of abdomen size 3""x2""reddish brown in colour;(iii) One contusion on left forearm from hands upto elbow joint laterally size 10""x3"", reddish brown in colour, deformity positive;(iv) One contusion on left forearm medially 2""x2""reddish brown in colour swelling positive;(v) Multiple contusions on left side of back from scapular region up to left renal area bluish in colour, swelling positive;(vi) One contusion on lumber region size 6""x2"" bluish in colour;(vii) Swelling 4""x3 & deformity positive left elbow joint;(viii) One incised wound on vertebral column at lumber region 2""x1"", blood clot positive;(ix) One contusion on right arm posteriorly size 4""x3""reddish brown colour, swelling positive;(x) One incised wound on right leg 3"" above ankle joint anteriorly size 2""x1"", blood clot positive swelling;(xi) One contusion on right popliteal fossa, reddish brown in colour swelling;8 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP(xii) One incised wound on occipital region size 2""x1/2""x bone deep, blood clot;(xiii) One contusion on right hand, reddish brown in colour swelling, deformity positive;(xiv) One contusion on left popliteal fossa;According to Dr. Bhatnagar, the deceased Govind Dangi and Lekhan Dangi died due to cerebral hemorrhage and the injuries found to the deceased were sufficient to cause their death.The opinion given by Dr. Bhatnagar (PW-4) cannot be discarded.Such injuries could not be caused in an accident and they could not be self-inflicted and, therefore, death of deceased Govind Dangi and Lekhan Dangi was neither accidental nor suicidal, hence it was homicidal in nature.Witnesses Geetabai (PW-5) and Sharda Bai (PW-6) deposed that accused Jagat Singh having farsa, Jalam Singh armed with sword, Maharaj Singh with Lohangi, Harnam Singh, Ajab Singh, Prakash, Sher Singh, Ghanshyam, Vijay, Sajjan, Santosh, Anant Singh, Babbu and Dhanraj carrying lathis came and caused injuries to Govind Singh and Lekhan Singh.Accused Jalam Singh inflicted blow of sword on the chest and right hand of Lekhan Singh whereas accused Jagat Singh gave a blow of farsa on the head of Govind Singh.Other accused persons caused injuries by lathi.However, in the cross- examination both the witnesses admitted that at the time of incident they were in their house and after receiving the information about the incident from Dhandu and Chain Singh they reached on the spot.Thus, it is clear that these witnesses were not present at the time of crime and they have not seen the incident.Witnesses Sher Singh (PW-12) and Ram Singh (PW-14) deposed that six years ago at about 5 pm, after receiving the information from Chain Singh that accused persons have inflicted injuries to Govind Singh and Lekhan Singh, they reached on the spot where they saw that the accused persons having in their hands sword, farsa, lohangi and lathis were returning from the spot.Govind Singh and Lekhan Singh were 9 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP found on the spot in injured condition, therefore the trial Court has rightly concluded that Sher Singh and Ram Singh were also not present on the spot when accused persons were assaulting.Witness Chain Singh (PW-13) deposed that Six and half years ago at about 5 - 5.30 pm, there was a crowd of 40-50 people near the culvert on the eve of immersion of Bhujuriyon, where he was present along with Govind Singh, Lekhan Singh and Dhandu.Accused Jagat Singh, Prakash, Maharaj Singh, Dhanraj, Mathura, Jalam were assembled there.Mathura caught the legs of Lekhan Singh, then Prakash, Jagat Singh, Jalam, Maharaj Singh, Dhanraj and Mathura caused injuries to Lekhan Singh by their respective weapons like Lathi, Farsa, Sword, Lohangi.Lekhan Singh was standing near the platform of Dulha Dev where he was beaten and Govind Singh was standing near the platform.Govind Singh was beaten by Harnam Singh, Bablu @ Babulal, Anant Singh, Vijay, Sajjan Singh, Ghanshyam, Ajab Singh, Preetam, Sher Singh, Maharaj Singh by lathis and Man Singh by Lohangi, due to which Govind Singh fell down.When he went to Lekhan Singh, then Dhanraj gave lathi blow on his shoulder and after beating of Lekhan Singh, all the accused had beaten him and Dhandu and Ramsingh were also beaten by the accused persons.The prosecution's non- production of one independent witness who has been named in the FIR by itself cannot be taken to be a circumstance to discredit the evidence of the interested witness and disbelieve the prosecution case.What one may notice, another may not.And one cannot expect people to make very precise or reliable estimates in such matters.Again, it depends on the time- sense of individuals which varies from person to person.(6) Ordinarily a witness cannot be expected to recall accurately the sequence of events which take place in rapid succession or in a short time span.A witness is liable to get confused, or mixed up when interrogated later on.Learned counsel for the appellants argued that the appellant Sajjan Singh is not named in the FIR.The sole eyewitness Chain Singh (PW-13) has deposed that at the time of incident Sajjan Singh caused injury to Govind Singh but he did not assign any role of Sajjan Singh assaulting the deceased Govind Singh in his statement Ex.D-5 under Section 161 of 20 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP CrPC.Thus, the trial Court has committed error in accepting the evidence of Chain Singh (PW-13) as credible.From the perusal of FIR (Ex.P-27) it reveals that the FIR is lodged by Sher Singh, father of deceased Govind Singh and Lekhan Singh and the trial Court has found that at the time of incident, he was not present on the spot.Chain Singh (PW-13) has received as many as 10 injuries.A lacerated wound was found on his skull and swelling was found on his left forearm and left shoulder.He had contusion on his right jaw, right ankle and left thigh.In these circumstances, it cannot be expected from him to record his statement immediately after the incident.Further, it is to be stated that with regard to the main part of the prosecution version that accused assaulted deceased Gurdev Singh, the prosecution evidence is fully corroborated by medical evidence.The medical evidence also corroborates the say of the witnesses that on both the deceased, apart from injury by firearm, accused assaulted by gandasa.Dr. R.K. Chaudhary, P.W. 1 and Dr. H.L. Gupta, P.W. 2, who carried on post-morterm examination of Gurdev Singh (deceased), found that he was having as many as 13 injuries out of which 6 injuries were incise wounds.There were multiple contusions and lacerated wounds on the body.Similarly, with regard to Tek Singh (deceased), there were in all 9 injuries, 3 were incise wounds and rest were multiple contusions and lacerated wounds.Therefore, it cannot be stated that the evidence of the prosecution witnesses is not corroborated by medical evidence.It is true that they have failed to locate exact seat of the injuries but that is natural, when the incident takes place all of a sudden within two to three minutes and successive blows are inflicted by the accused, 8 in numbers.They came all of a sudden armed with the deadly weapons and attacked the victims, who rushed to take the shelter in the house.In such a fact situation, some contradictions as to who assaulted whom, with what weapon and whether it was by sharp edge or blunt side of Gandasa are bound to be there and particularly when blows are given in quick succession, it would be against the ground reality to expect the witnesses to depose exactly on which part of the body blow landed.In these circumstances, even if there is some exaggeration with regard to the inflictions of blows, it would hardly be a ground for rejecting their testimony.""Though the trial court referred to the evidence of the eye- witnesses, it chose to disbelieve them merely on account of minor 22 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP inconsistencies in their evidence, relating to the exact site of occurrence and failure to name all who landed blows and the exact nature of injuries.The High Court, on the other hand, held that minor inconsistencies and discrepancies regarding the exact place or the point at which the incident took place or as to who landed the blows is not sufficient to disbelieve the evidence of injured eye- witnesses.Having gone through the evidence of Chain Singh (PW-13), we are in complete agreement with the trial Court that the contradictions and discrepancies cannot be said to be material contradictions affecting the credibility of the evidence of Chain Singh.In his testimony Chain Singh has given graphic details of the occurrence and his evidence is also corroborated by the medical evidence which clearly shows that several blows were given to the deceased Lekhan Singh and Govind Singh by the appellants/accused persons by way of sharp cutting weapon as well as by hard and blunt object.The learned counsel for the appellants has also pointed out that the statements of the prosecution witnesses do not sufficiently indicate the overt act of each individual who have been named as accused, leave alone the role of the appellants.Suffice it to observe that in a case where ingredients of Section 141 of IPC which defines unlawful assembly are satisfied and from the material available on record, it is clear that the appellants had gone to the place of incident equipped with sharp-edged weapons and hard and blunt objects, the pre- meditation and common object of the members of the assembly can easily be ascertained.Learned counsel for the appellants submits that the appellant Sajjan Singh has filed an application on 2.12.1993 before the trial Court, alleging that he was minor, hence his 25 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP case be separated and be sent to the Juvenile Court for hearing but the said application was rejected by the trial Court vide order dated 16.3.1994 without conducting any enquiry and without granting any opportunity for producing the evidence regarding juvenility to the appellant, which is mandatory according to the settled law.After getting several opportunities on 23.9.1993 accused Man Singh and Ghanshyam submitted that they do not wish to produce any evidence in this regard and after that, all the applications including the application filed on behalf of accused Sajjan Singh, were decided by common order dated 16.3.1994 and the trial Court found that on the basis of the medical evidence, mark sheets and horoscopes, it appears that Ajab Singh and Ghanshyam were below 16 years of age at the time of incident, therefore, it was directed that the charge sheet regarding them shall be filed before the Juvenile Court but the other accused persons including Sajjan Singh have not filed any document regarding their age and they have also not prayed for time to adduce any evidence to prove their juvenility, hence, the trial Court dismissed their applications.After 26 Criminal appeal No.140/1999 Prakash Singh & Ors.State of MP rejection of their claim, the accused persons have not challenged the rejection order of the trial Court by filing revision petition before this Court.Therefore, the order of the trial Court has attained its finality.Before this Court also, accused Sajjan Singh has not filed any document to show that at the time of incident he was below 18 years.Since accused Prakash Singh (appellant No.1 in Criminal Appeal No.140/1999) has expired, therefore, his appeal stands dismissed, however the conviction and jail sentence of remaining appellants in these three appeals for the offences punishable under Sections 302/149, 325/149, 323/149 and 148 of IPC is maintained.A copy of the judgment be also sent to the trial Court along with its record for information.","['Section 149 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 148

+"The appellant used to abuse Shobha for bringing less dowry.She used to deprive her from getting food and also used to misbehave with her.Before the date of incident, Shobha was not given any food by the appellant.On 5.7.1992 at 10 A.M when Shobha was sitting in her room, appellant, with a kerosene oil cane, entered her room, poured the oil on her and set her ablaze.Shobha cried and because of that neighbours reached to the place of incident.The said police station registered it as Crime No.90/92 under section 307 of IPC.Shobha was medically examined and statement of witnesses were recorded.In turn, Shobha was hospitalized for further treatment where she died.Apart from this, Mata Prasad (P.W.4), is neighbour of appellant and an independent witness.The appellant was tried by the court below in Sessions Trial No.312/92 for committing offence under section 498-A and 304-B and in alternatively under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (for short 'IPC').By the impugned judgment dated 9.11.95, the appellant was exonerated from the offence under section 498-A and 304-B IPC.However, she is held guilty for committing murder of her daughter-in-law Shobha.The appellant is accordingly convicted under section 302 IPC and was directed to undergo life imprisonment with fine of Rs.500/- with default stipulation.Upon receiving the information of her death, 'marg' intimation No.90/92 was recorded and offence was converted from section 307 to 302 of IPC.After investigation, challan was filed before JMFC under section 498-A and 302 of IPC.On committal, the Sessions Court received the matter.The appellant abjured the guilt and prayed for full fledged trial.In her defense statement, she stated that she has been falsely implicated.Her daughter-in-law Shobha sustained burn injuries while preparing the food.In her support, Amritlal (D.W.1), Puranlal (D.W.2) and Smt. Janki Bai (D.W.3) entered the witness box.After recording the evidence of parties and hearing the arguments, the impugned judgment is passed which is called in question by Shri Siddharth Datt by contending; (i) The incident had taken place on 5.7.92 at 10 A.M. The FIR (Ex.P/14) was recorded at 10.50 A.M. There exists an over writing on the relevant column which is related to date and time of receiving information.Shri Datt submits that although this F.I.R may be treated as a dying declaration, this document is not trustworthy because at the bottom of this document, in a different hand writing name of deceased Shobha is written.Putting it differently, it is argued that under the thumb impression of deceased Shobha, in a different writing, her name is mentioned which creates serious doubt on this dying declaration; (ii) The dying declaration (Ex.P/10) recorded by the Doctor is also not trustworthy because time mentioned in it is 10.15 A.M.-:- 3 -:-A No.1565 of 1995 is interpolation in one entry of this dying declaration.This witness could not give satisfactory explanation regarding existence of two finger impressions on the dying declaration (Ex.P/10).Similarly, he could not give justifiable explanation about adding of words in the portion of impression which is marked as ""D to D""; (iv) Dr. Nema was unable to show the reason of death whether it is homicidal or suicidal hence it is totally unsafe to hold the appellant guilty; (v) In cross-examination, Rakesh Tiwari (P.W.14) admitted that there exists an over writing in Ex.P/14 in "" l to l"" portion.As per statement of this witness also Shobha, was 100% burnt.If she was 100% burnt, it cannot be believed that she was in a fit state of mind to give the dying declaration.This witness was unable to explain as to how two finger impressions are available on Ex.P/10; (vi) Gulab Bai (P.W.2) mother of deceased did not support the prosecution story and turned hostile hence it is not safe to give stamp of approval to the impugned judgment; (vii) Reliance is also placed on the statement of defense witnesses wherein they have stated that Shobha had committed suicide;Shri Datt, learned counsel for the appellant, on the strength of aforesaid arguments stated that the findings of the court below are perverse in nature.The court below has not appreciated the documentary and ocular evidence in a lawful manner which resulted into conviction of the appellant.Shri Ajay Tamrakr, learned P.L for the respondent/state urged that the spot-map (Ex.P/1) was prepared which contains the name of Mata-:- 4 -:-A No.1565 of 1995 Prasad (P.W.4).Mata Prasad (P.W.4) is the neighbour and an independent witness who entered the witness box on behalf of the prosecution.By taking this court to the statement of Mata Prasad (P.W.4), he urged that the statement of this witness is totally trustworthy.In the dying declaration, the Doctor has specifically mentioned that deceased Shobha was in a fit state of mind.By placing reliance on Ramavati Devi Vs.It need not be recorded be the Magistrate.No other point is pressed by learned counsel for the parties.We have heard the counsel at length and perused the record.The appellant was tried for committing offence under section 498- A and 304-B of IPC also apart from offence under section 302 of IPC.The mother of deceased Smt. Gulab Bai (P.W.2) turned hostile and prosecution could not lead any evidence to bring home the allegations regarding offence under section 498-A and 304-B of IPC.The first dying declaration was recorded by the Doctor at 10.15 A.M. As per evidence on record, the place of incident/ house of deceased and appellant is very near to the hospital and police station.There is no over writing on the first dying declaration (Ex.P/10) so far time of recording of this dying declaration is concerned.This dying declaration is pregnant with two finger impressions.In the right bottom of Ex.P/10 just below the thumb impression, it is clearly mentioned that it is right thumb impression of deceased Shobha.Yet another impression almost at the middle of this declaration finds place.Although there exists no explanation for existence of this thumb impression, we find no reason to doubt the dying declaration because of existence of another thumb impression on the same declaration.This is trite that if dying declaration is otherwise trustworthy, it amounts to substantive evidence-:- 5 -:-A No.1565 of 1995 and it cannot be discarded on flimsy grounds.The Doctor made it clear that the alleged interpolation of words between ""D to D"" were also made at the time of recording of declaration.A careful reading of this dying declaration (Ex.P/10) clearly shows that Shobha clearly deposed that mother-in-law/ appellant had poured kerosene and set her ablaze.There is no over writing or interpolation on this relevant parts of dying declaration.Thus, we find no reason to disbelieve this dying declaration.The aforesaid dying declaration (Ex.P/10) is called in question for yet another reason.It was argued that when burn injuries were to the tune of 100%, it is not safe to accept the dying declaration.The F.I.R (Ex.P/14) is also assailed for the same reason.It is noteworthy that Doctor clearly in the first dying declaration that Shobha is in a fit state of mind to give the declaration.The Division Bench of this Court in Rajiya Bi Vs.The Division Benchs in State of MP Vs.Koushal- 2008(4) MPHT-170 and Kamal Singh Vs.State of M.P.-ILR (2010) M.P.1797 also took the same view.Pertinently, in Vijay Pal Vs.State of M.P-(2015) 4 SCC-749, the Apex Court considered a matter where deceased sustained 100% burn injuries.The oral dying declaration was made to brother of the deceased.The dying declaration was found to be credible.State of Karnataka- (2010) 6 SCC 533 wherein the argument that deceased sustained severe burn injuries and it was elicited that tongue of the deceased was swollen and protruding and lips were burnt, were not accepted despite the fact that she sustained 100% burn injuries.The statement of Doctor was believed that she was in a fit state of mind to give the declaration.The same is the case here where Dr. Nema (P.W.9) could withstand the cross-examination and hisWhen he reached to the place of incident at around 10 A.M, he found that husband of deceased, namely, Govind brought Shobha out of the house.She was crying that mother-in-law set her ablaze.He and Govind took Shobha to the hospital.This witness clearly deposed that in the mid way to the hospital, Shobha was saying that appellant had set her ablaze.Her husband Govind repeatedly asked her not to take name of mother and advised her to take his, brother's or father's name but Shobha candidly-:- 7 -:-A No.1565 of 1995 stated that she will take the name of appellant because she alone had set her ablaze.This statement of the independent witness carries a lot of weight.There is no enmity between the family of appellant and this independent witness who is neighbour of the appellant.The appellant in her statement/ explanation under section 313 of Cr.P.C stated that deceased caught fire while preparing the food.However, the defence witnesses narrated a different story i.e she committed suicide.Thus, the defence of appellant and the story narrated by the defence witness, is not worthy of credence.","['Section 302 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 498A in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 304B in The Indian Penal

A4, A5, A6, A9 and A10are concerned.The complainant i.e. the appellant herein lodged a privatecomplaint in his capacity as a Promoter Director of Sri Satyanarayana PowerPrivate Ltd. - a company incorporated to generate biomass based powerproject in the District of Warangal in the State of Andhra Pradesh(hereinafter referred to as the 'Company').The complaint was filed inrespect of the offences allegedly committed under Section 628 of theCompanies Act, 1956 (in short the 'Companies Act') and Sections 120B and420 of the Indian Penal Code (in short the 'IPC').This complaint wasfiled in the Court of Special Judge for Economic Offences at Hyderabad.The accused Nos. 1, 2 and 3 are Directors of the Company.Further,accused A1 to A3 made false declaration in regard to record maintainedunder the provisions of the Companies Act, and filed a false declarationpurporting to be an extract of Board Resolution of the Company beforeAndhra Bank, Sowcarpet Branch, Chennai in order to open a bank account.According to the complainant the signatory to the Board Resolution was noteven a Director in the Company on the date the bank account was opened.Aseries of events alleged in the complaint show how the complainant wasinduced to invest in the Company by acquiring land for the Company at acost of Rs. 20 lakhs and make payment for the front end fee to IREDA whichhad in collusion with the other accused sanctioned the financial assistanceto the Company to the extent of Rs. 11.50 crores subject to the conditionthat the promoters should invest Rs. 4.98 crores as their contributiontowards the total project cost of Rs. 16.48 crores.Though Rs. 145 lakhsfrom the first installment of loan and Rs. 92 lakhs from the secondinstallment of loan were paid to the A4 Company only a nominal amount ofRs. 30 lakhs was used for work and the rest was swindled.As a part ofthese transactions the complainant alleged that A1 to A3 had made a falsedeclaration as records in a purported Board Resolution of the Company inorder to open a bank account and falsely authorised A10 and thereby made afalse declaration amounting to an offence under Section 628 of theCompanies Act. Thus, A10 was falsely authorized to operate the bankaccount.It will thus be seen from the above that according to thecomplainant the transactions of all the accused persons in conspiracy witheach other amounted to offences under Sections 120B and 420 of the IPC andSection 628 of the Companies Act.However, without giving any special reasons as regards accused Nos. A9 andA10 the High Court quashed the taking of cognizance.It may berecalled that the allegation as regards Section 628[2] of the Companies Actis said to have been committed by the accused A1 to A3 by making a falsedeclaration with regard to the record that is maintained in accordance withSection 193 of the Companies Act by filing an extract of the Boardresolution of the company before the Andhra Bank, Sowcarpet Branch, Chennaiin order to open a bank account 'the said Board resolution being a falsedeclaration,' since a bank account in the said bank was already opened evenbefore A1 had obtained consent of the complainant to open the said accountand further since the said Board resolution is signed by Hari Sesha Reddy -A3 who was not even a Director in the company as on the date of the openingof the bank account.The offence alleged against A10 was that she haddrawn huge amounts through self cheques in the capacity of the authorizedsignatory of the company.It is surprising to see that the High Court hasquashed the complaint against the accused persons on the ground of legaldefects though no allegation containing such defects were made against thesaid accused persons.As can be seen from the complaint the allegations are that theaccused conspired with each other to cheat the complainant and a series oftransactions gave rise to offence under Section 120B read with Section 420of the Indian Penal Code as also Section 628 of the Companies Act. It is,therefore, clear that if the Special Court has jurisdiction to try offencesunder both the aforesaid Acts then the trial can certainly continue inrespect of the offences which do not require the complainant to belong tothe categories specified under Section 621 of the Companies Act. Thus thetrial could certainly continue against those accused under the IPC.The High Court completely overlooked the fact that thecomplaint made allegations against the accused A4, A5, A6, A9 and A10 onlyin respect of Section 120B and 420 of Indian Penal Code and there was noreason in law to quash a complaint against them on the ground that theywere immune from prosecution under Section 628 of the Companies Act byvirtue of Section 621 of that Act.Date : 26/03/2015 These appeals were called on for hearing today.Suresh Babu, Adv.Mr. Ravi Kumar Tomar,AOR Mr. V.Senthil Kumar, Adv.Mr. K.

+"The prosecution case in brief is that on 31 -8-74 at 10-20 AM a case under Section 392 IPC was registered against Rana Sikh at police station Cantonment.The investigation was entrusted to S.I. Sagir Ahmed who started from police station Cantt at 10.45 AM along with S.I. Jahangir Khan and S. I. Lalman.When they reached outpost Chakeri they took Rameshwar Singh Head-Constable, Ram Gopal Head constable and some other police personnel.After visiting the place where offence under Section 392 IPC had taken place they received information that accused Ranveer alias Rana who was involved in the offence under Section 392 IPC was at the shop of Autar Singh near Khalsa Inter College.On this information the police party started for the shop of the Autar Singh and they took Satya Narain, Ganga Ram and Jugraj as Motbir witnesses.When the police party was 20-25 paces away from the shop of Autar Singh, the accused saw them and immediately whipped out his pistol and fired at the police party saying that if the police party comes near they would be killed.Saying so the accused ran towards Narendra ground by scaling over the wall jumped on the other side.The police party and others continued to chase the accused.On Narendra ground also the accused fired at the police party but nobody was hurt.The chase continued and the accused fired at the police party from time to time.When the accused and the police party were in the lanes of village Safipur, Head-Constable Ram Bahadur Singh thought that the accused has run out of ammunition and he came close to the accused who turned around and fired a shot at Ram Bahadur Singh Head-Constable.Ram Bahadur Singh, however, gave a Danda blow to the accused and sat on the ground pressing his injury by his both hands.At this stage Sri Sagir Ahmad S.I. fired at the accused but he missed his aim.The police continued to chase the accused but he was able to make good his escape.1) Punctured wound 1 cmx 1 cm circular with depth under observation on the right chest lower part at the level of the seventh rib in the line of the nipple 6 cm below the nipple.Margins inverted.Tatooing present around the wound.JUDGMENT O.P. Jain, J.Appellant Ranveer Singh alias Rana was convicted and sentenced under Section 307 and 332 IPC in S.T. No. 204/75 by Vlth Addl.Sessions Judge, Kanpur.A sentence of three years R.I. under Section 307 IPC and one year R.I. under Section 332 IPC has been awarded.The shot fired by the accused hit Head-Constable Ram Bahadur Singh on the chest.Head-Constable Ram Bahadur Singh was sent to the hospital through Sri Lallan Singh A.S.I, and Rameshwar Singh Head-Constable.A report of this incident was written by Sagir Ahmad S. I. and it was sent to police station Cantonment where a case was registered at 1.30 P.M. The firing incident took place at 12 noon.The injuries of Ram Bahadur Singh were medically examined by S. K. Khare P.W. 7 and the following injuries were found.2) Punctured wound 2.25 cm x .25 cm x depth under observation on the back right side in post auxiliary line at the level of the 7th rib.Margine averted.After completing usual investigation the Investigating Officer submitted the chargesheet against the accused.The accused was committed to the Court of Sessions.The prosecution examined eight witnesses before learned Sessions Judge.The first witness is Head-Constable Ram Bahadur who is the injured, P.W. 2 Jahangir Khan and P.W. 4 Sagir Ahmed S. I. are the members of the police party and are eye witnesses.P.W. 3 Ganga Ram is the member of the public who accompanied the police party and he is also an eye witness of the incident.Dr. S. K. Khare P.W. 7 has examined the injuries and Dr. H. N. Bahadur P.W. 5 has given the details of the treatments and has stated that on 1 -9-74 he stitched the entry and exit wounds of Ram Bahadur Singh.The last witness is P.W. 8 D. K. Gupta who is the Investigating Officer of the case.The plea taken by the accused is that he has been falsely implicated and that on the date of the incident he was at Allahabad where he surrendered on coming to know that he is wanted in this case.In order to prove his defence the accused has examined D.W. 1 Ajai Pal Singh.The most important witness in the case is naturally injured Ram Bahadur Singh P.W. 1 who has stated that they had gone in search of the accused because he was wanted in an earlier case under Section 392 IPC.An entry of their departure from police station Cantonment was made in the General Diary No. 29 Ex.It is further stated by Ram Bahadur Singh that he came to know that the accused was at the shop of Autar Singh and when they reached near that place the accused whipped out his revolver and fired at the police party but no one was hurt.Thereafter the accused started running and he scaled compound wall of Narendra ground.The police party continued to chase him till they reached village Safipur.In between the two places the accused continued to fire at the police party.Near the house of one Balwant Singh the police party thought that now there is no bullet in the revolver and therefore Ram Bahadur Singh went forward for apprehending the accused but the accused took a turn and fired at Ram Bahadur Singh causing injury on his chest.Ram Bahadur Singh gave a danda blow to the accused and sat down holding the injured part by his both hands.It is not necessary to repeat the statements of all the eye witnesses which are similar and it will be proper to come straight to the criticism levelled by the learned counsel for the appellant.At the time of the incident the police party had three Head-Constables and three constables beside the Sub-Inspector named above.The criticism levelled by the learned counsel for the accused about Ganga Ram is factually correct and it is true that Ganga Ram has admitted in his cross-examination that 20-25 cases were registered against him at police station Cantt and two cases were pending against him at the time he gave evidence in this case.This should, however, be kept in view that when a police party is going to arrest a desperate criminal, an ordinary law abiding person is not likely to accompany the police party and to put himself in danger.Therefore, the police has no option but to take the assistance of such persons who come forward to assist it.At that time the police could not have scrupulously examined the antecedent of the persons who were ready to assist the police party.","['Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 392 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 332 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 300 in The Indian Penal Code']",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

+"A. No. 512/2000 Page 1 of 46PW-3 H.C Chander Bhan while on patrolling duty at the Chabutra of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib received information from a devotee that a quarrel had taken place in the NDMC Park.The criminal law machinery in this case was set in motion by DD No. 14A (Ex. PW 18/A).On 14.06.1995, ASI Dharam Singh (PW-18) was on emergency duty from 8 a.m to 8 p.m at P.S Parliament Street.Pursuant to the receipt of the aforesaid information he along with Constable Bhagat Ram (PW-13) reached at the spot i.e Jai Singh Road.At the spot one PCR Van, H.C Chander Bhan (PW-3), Constable Nirmal Singh, injured Shera and the appellant Mannu met him.Subsequently, ASI Dharam Singh (PW-18) took the injured in the PCR Van to R.M.L Hospital where the doctor declared the injured as brought dead.Thereafter, he along with the Addl.S.H.O reached at the spot where H.C. Chander Bhan handed over to him a kirpan along with the cover.The kirpan and cover of the kirpan were recovered at the spot and was sealed by A.S.I Dharam Singh.Thereafter, the investigation was handed over to the S.H.O, Gurnam Singh Randhawa.The accused was detained at the spot and he recorded the statement of HC Chander bhan.The rukka was sent for registration of the case.The photos of the scene of occurrence were taken.The I.O. inspected the spot, site plan was prepared, 'Tat' which was lying at the spot in the park was sealed in a parcel, along with the sample soil was also taken into possession.The old turban lying at the spot was taken into custody.Some blood was lying at the spot.He also took sample of concrete from the spot.The accused mannu who was detained at the spot was sent for medical examination by ASI Dharam Singh.He recorded the statement of eye witness Prakash Chander.He recorded the statement of other witnesses.After his examination, the accused was brought back to the NDMC park and was arrested.However, names of none of these persons including ASI Dharam Singh who was the senior most official finds mention in the MLC.PW-7 Prakash Chander also claims that the deceased Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 4 of 46 was well- known to him and he knew the name of the deceased.Further ASI Dharam Singh (PW-18) who claims to have accompanied the deceased to the hospital has stated in his statement that the deceased informed him that his name was Shera, yet no one informed the doctor in the hospital.A. No. 512/2000 Page 4 of 46d) In the MLC it is recorded that an ""unknown"" person had been brought dead by Constable Jai Ram Singh of PCR Van with the alleged history of being found unconscious on Jai Singh Road.The two police officials (PW-13 and PW-18) who were travelling in the same PCR Van with the deceased to the hospital gave absolutely two different versions in their respective statements.g) As per the prosecution's version, no call was received by the PCR van, still it failed to establish how it reached at the spot.This is clear from the evidence on record including the evidence of PW-3, H.C Chander Bhan who stated that he did not send any intimation to the Police Station nor made any call to the PCR.h) That the deceased did not reveal the name of the accused to PW-3 H.C Chander Bhan nor made any statement regarding the incident although he had ample time and opportunity to do so.i) When a suggestion was put to PW-3 H.C Chander Bhan in his cross examination that if the accused made any attempt to run away on seeing H.C Chander Bhan, because as per the normal human conduct, the appellant if he was actually involved in the crime, could not have gathered the courage Crl.With the legal dicta as discussed in the foregoing paras, let us now examine as to whether the counsel for the appellant succeeds in throwing any serious doubts on the prosecution case particularly to discredit or impeach the testimonies of the two eye witnesses i.e. HC Chander Bhan (PW-3) and Prakash Chander (PW-7).As per the deposition of Prakash Chander (PW-7), he himself was serving as a sevadar in Gurudwara Bangla Saheb and he very well knew Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 17 of 46 both the accused and the victim.At the time of the incident, at 10.30 PM on 14th June 1995, Prakash Chander (PW-7) was also lying in the same NDMC Park along with a few others when he witnessed the quarrel to have taken place between the accused and the victim over a gunny bag.During the quarrel, Prakash Chander (PW-7) saw the accused snatching the gunny bag from the victim and thereafter the victim running towards the shop.The accused then caught him near a tree and took out a kripan from the possession of the victim and started hitting him with the kripan while sitting on him.He could not see how many blows were given by the accused to the victim because accused sat with his back facing towards him.He also saw PW-3 HC Chander Bhan to have reached at the spot who took both the accused and the victim from the park towards the road behind the toilet.In his cross-examination, he stated that he was working as sevadar in the Gurudwara Bangla Saheb for the last five years.He also deposed that at the time of the incident, 5-6 persons were sleeping in the park and after the incident, seeing the police these persons went away.He also deposed that he did not get up from his place as he was under the apprehension of getting stabbed if he would interfere.He also deposed that at the time of the incident, the accused was only wearing an underwear (kachha) and he did not see any blood stains on his Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 18 of 46 body.He also deposed that he did not see any blood stains on the clothes of PW-3 HC Chander Bhan.He also deposed that he could only see from one eye.He also deposed that when HC Chander Bhan took the victim Shera towards the road, he could see that the victim was alive.The presence of PW-7 also cannot be disputed because of the fact that his statement was recorded by the police under Section 161 of Cr.P.C. while he was available at the spot and he was also witness to the seizure memo of samples of the soil (Ex.A. No. 512/2000 Page 19 of 46 having come to know about some altercation to have taken place in the NDMC Park.After he had reached the spot, he saw that there was a clean shaven person and a Sardar who were grappling with each other.He also saw that a clean shaven person pinned down the sardar on the ground .He further saw that the clean shaven person was having a small kripan in his right hand and was inflicting blows with the kirpan on the sardar who was lying on the ground.He saw that he was being hit on the chest with the kirpan.This witness tried to snatch the kirpan from the hand of clean shaven person and in that process the clean shaven person had rubbed and cleaned the blood from the kirpan.This witness had overpowered both the persons and took both of them out of the park towards the road.The injured person told his name as Shera to this witness while blood was oozing out from his body.The victim sat near the police quarters on Jai Singh road and fell down as he was suffering from pain.In the meantime another constable Nirmal Singh had reached there and after handing over both the said persons to the said constable, PW-7 started moving towards Ashok Road in search of vehicle to remove the injured to the hospital.But in the meanwhile a PCR Van had reached there.The PCR officials alongwith ASI Dharam Singh and Bhagat Ram had removed the injured to the hospital while PW-3 HC Chander Bhan and Constable Nirmal Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 20 of 46 Singh remained at the spot alongwith the accused.After sometime SHO of Police Station Parliament Street, ASI Dharam Singh and SI also reached at the spot and they were informed that the injured Shera had expired.PW-3/B, and also bears his signatures.PW-3 is also the witness to the seizure and recovery of the gunny bag (Taat), pagri, and blood stained earth sample which were lifted from the spot by the police and sample of the soil and personal search memo of the accused.The wound is present 102 cm above left heel wound is muscle deep.d. Injury No.2 is piercing through left lung and anterior wall of the heart.The post mortem Report further states that it was the injury No.2 that pierced the left lung due to which the left lung had collapsed.KAILASH GAMBHIR, JBy this appeal filed under section 374 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as 'Cr.P.C.'), the appellant seeks to challenge the impugned judgment dated 29.05.2000 and order on sentence dated 30.05.2000 whereby the Appellant - Mannu was convicted for committing an offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as 'IPC') and was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life, further to pay fine of Rs.10000 and in case of default, to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of six months.The facts germane to the case of the prosecution are that - Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 1 of 46His personal search was taken and after interrogation of Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 2 of 46 the accused, they went back to the police station.The post-mortem of the deceased was conducted and the exhibits were sent for analysis and after completion of the investigation challan was filed.A. No. 512/2000 Page 2 of 46To prove its case the prosecution examined as many as 19 witnesses.The State was led by Mr. Sunil Sharma, Learned Additional Public Prosecutor.Addressing arguments on behalf of the appellant, Ms. Nidhi Raman, Advocate categorised her submissions under various heads, the same are outlined as under:-I. Gaps, infirmities, contradictions and lacunae in the prosecution:As per the counsel for the appellant the genesis of the prosecution case is shrouded in mystery and the two eye-witnesses have been introduced to make out a semblance of a case.The infirmities, gaps and Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 3 of 46 contradictions which were pointed out by the counsel for the appellant are detailed as under:Therefore, there is nothing substantive on record to prove the presence of Constable Jai Ram Singh at the spot.c) As per the case of the prosecution, the deceased was brought to the hospital by the PCR officials, ASI Dharam Singh (PW-18) and Ct Bhagat Ram (PW-13).e) As per the prosecution case, the place of occurrence was NDMC Park but the DD Entry, MLC and the Post Mortem Report, all show that the deceased was found unconscious on Jai Singh Road which clearly demonstrate that the scene of occurrence was Jai Singh Road, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib and not NDMC Park.A. No. 512/2000 Page 5 of 46f) PW-5, Dr Sanjeev Tandon deposed that Injury No.2 (stab wound) had pierced the left lung and the anterior wall of the heart, yet the deceased was able to walk from the Park to Jai Singh Road which according to the prosecution was at a distance of 230 mtrs .A. No. 512/2000 Page 6 of 46 of continuing to fight and stab the deceased in front of a police officer.A. No. 512/2000 Page 6 of 46j) The MLC of the accused show that it was recorded at 3:30 a.m. however, the incident allegedly took place at 10:45 p.m. Evidence on record suggests that till 3:15 a.m. the accused remained on the spot.The SHO has himself said that Mannu, the accused herein was taken to the hospital at 3:15 a.m. Thus, the medical examination of the accused was conducted after 4.5 hours when he could have been sent immediately with the injured and this fact further casts a doubt on the prosecution case.k) The exhibits were sent to CFSL after more than 20 days of the incident.Even the Rukka was sent to the Police Station at 12:50 a.m., however the incident occurred at 10.45 p.m. Thus the counsel urged that the case of the prosecution suffers from proven improbabilities, infirmities and contradictions and does not inspire confidence.The story of the prosecution is that PW-3 H.C Chander Bhan while on patrolling duty at the Chabutra of Gurudwara Bangla Sahib received Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 7 of 46 information from a devotee that a quarrel took place in the NDMC Park.Counsel submitted that this ""devotee"" has not been named or produced in the witness box.Hence the Hon'ble Court should draw adverse inference against the prosecution for non- examination of material witnesses in the case.A. No. 512/2000 Page 7 of 46It is a settled law that where there is a gap or infirmity in the prosecution case which could have been supplied or made good by examining a witness who though available but was not examined, the prosecution case can be termed as suffering from deficiency and withholding of such a material witness would oblige the Hon'ble Court to draw an adverse inference against the prosecution.The statement and evidence of the alleged eye- witness PW-7 Prakash Chander lacks credence and reliability and his presence at the spot is also highly doubtful.A reading of his testimony and the testimony of H.C Chander Bhan clearly show that they were not present at the place of occurrence.The name of Prakash Chander (PW-7) does not find mention in the Rukka and the FIR.According to PW-7 about a month prior to the incident there was a quarrel between the accused and the deceased in which the accused sustained head injuries.This is entirely Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 8 of 46 false as the material/evidence on record show that the quarrel took place between one Deepak tea stall owner and the accused a month prior and not between the accused and the deceased ""Shera"".A. No. 512/2000 Page 8 of 46The owner of Deepak Tea Stall could have thrown some light on the incident and was a material witness but was conveniently discarded from being examined by the prosecution.Furthermore, PW-7 stated in his cross examination that in the alleged quarrel between the accused and the deceased had caused head injury to the accused with the help of a crutch of another person.However, his statement is patently false as the MLC of the accused shows that there was no such head injury.In respect of PW-7 Prakash Chander it is also very surprising that at 10:45 p.m he could see the incident very minutely in the darkness of the Park when he himself is blind from one eye.It is also very intriguing that PW-7 as per his deposition was always present whenever the accused was being beaten up or when he Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 9 of 46 was supposed to beat anyone.He seems to be an omnipresent witness in the present case.A. No. 512/2000 Page 9 of 46That the glaring discrepancies would be noticed in the testimonies of PW-3 H.C Chander Bhan and PW-7 Prakash Chander with regard to the narration of the incident which affect the very core of the prosecution case.Its non-corroboration by other witnesses or evidence makes it a weak piece of evidence.In these circumstances the ratio laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in catena of judgements is that when the prosecution relies upon the testimony of a sole eye-witness, then such evidence has to be wholly reliable and trustworthy and if the evidence of the sole eye- witness is in conflict with the other witnesses, it may not be safe to make such a statement as a foundation for the conviction of the accused.Counsel in this regard referred to the following judgements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court:(i) (2012)4 SCC 722: Govindaraju alias Govinda vs State(ii) (2005) 10 SCC 196: Pohlu vs State Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 10 of 46 III.Medical evidence and other evidence in support:A. No. 512/2000 Page 10 of 46The whole story about the accused having wiped the blood on the kirpan with his hands is a fabricated one.This is corroborated by the CFSL Report which says that no blood was found on the kirpan.In similar circumstances i.e. when no blood was found on the weapon of offence, the Hon'ble Supreme Court and a Division Bench of this Hon'ble Court have set aside the conviction of the Appellant.Reference in this regard was placed on the following judgements:(ii) ILR Delhi Series 1986 Volume II: Imtiaz Ahmed vs StateThe prosecution has also been unable to produce the blood stained clothes of the accused.A version has been put forth that the accused was in his undergarments at that point of time.The undergarment (Kachha) has also not been produced.If the accused was actually sitting on the chest of the deceased and giving kirpan blows, the undergarment would have been soaked with blood.The undergarment (Kachha) was admittedly not sent to CFSL.That PW-3 HC Chander Bhan stated that when he took the deceased from the Park to the road, the deceased was leaning upon him.Even PW-7 Prakash Chander stated the same.However, even though the Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 11 of 46 deceased was bleeding profusely, surprisingly H.C Chander Bhan's clothes not smeared in any blood stains casts a doubt on the prosecution story.Thus it is manifest that PW-3 H.C Chander Bhan does not seem to be a witness to the crime at all and has reached there only after everything was over.To support this argument counsel placed reliance on the following judgments:A. No. 512/2000 Page 11 of 46(ii) ILR Delhi Series 1986 Volume II: Imtiaz Ahmed vs State(iii) 52 (1993) DLT 351: Rishi Pal & Ors vs State IV No motiveCounsel also submitted that the prosecution has failed to prove any motive for the crime.According to the prosecution the dispute this time was over a gunny bag.It is inconceivable that over a small piece of 'tat' and that too after the accused had already snatched it from the deceased as per the testimony of PW-7, he ran after the deceased to kill him.V Conversion of sentence from 302 IPC to 304 (I) or (II)Lastly, it was submitted by the Learned Counsel that even if the Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 12 of 46i. Admittedly there was a sudden fight which allegedly happened between the Accused and the Deceased over a piece of gunny bag.There was no pre-meditation: The accused was not carrying any weapon with him and is alleged to have taken the kirpan of the deceased to stab him.The accused made no attempt to run away from the spot.There are no other criminal cases pending against the accused in any other Court Counsel submitted that reference in this regard could be made to the following judgments of the Hon'ble Supreme Court:(i) (2009)15 SCC 635: Gurmukh Singh vs State of Haryana Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 13 of 46A. No. 512/2000 Page 13 of 46(ii)JT 2013(12) SC 28: Chandera @ Chandera Ram vs State of Chhattisgarh The counsel thus urged and prayed for the discharge of the Appellant/accused to meet the interests of justice.Per contra, learned APP for the State vehemently refuted the said submissions of learned counsel for the appellant and contended that the case of the appellant is an open and shut case based on the testimony of two eye witnesses and both the testimonies remained coherent, cogent and clinching throughout.They are also duly supported by the medical and forensic evidence leaving no space for any doubts.Learned APP also submitted that the learned trial court went into each and every aspect of the material placed on record by the prosecution and the defence raised by the accused at the time of recording of his statement under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. and counsel for the appellant has not been able to point out any illegality or perversity in the reasoning given by the learned trial court to convict and sentence the appellant for committing an offence punishable under Section 302 IPC.Learned APP thus strongly urged that the appeal filed by the appellant is devoid of any merit and the same may be dismissed.We have heard learned counsel for the parties at considerable Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 14 of 46The incident took place near a devout place of worship, known for its purity and religious beliefs, Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.Gurudwara Bangla Saheb is the most prominent Sikh Gurudwara and is known for its association of 8th Sikh Guru - Guru Harkishan Singh.The victim in the present case was a sevadar at the Gurudwara Bangla Sahib.God creates, we destroy, how true that is in our society that for some psychological satisfaction, a human develops a tendency, an urge, fear or anxiety to rip off a person's life in seconds and at that spur even forgets the outcome that he would have to suffer at the hands of law, and that there can be no escape from the clutches of law.The incident took place in the NDMC maintained park which adjoins the said Gurudwara.As per the case of the prosecution, the tussle between the accused and the victim was over a piece of gunny bag (taat) which was given by the Management of the Gurudwara to the sewadars for sleeping purpose.The night of 14th June 1995, was the peak of summers and probably due to this reason, the accused was only wearing an underwear and there was no other cloth on his body.HC Chander Bhan (PW-3) and Prakash Chander Crl.A.

No. 512/2000 Page 16 of 46PW-3/E) collected from the spot, seizure memo of Pagri of the deceased (Ex.PW- 3/f), seizure memo of the old gunny bag (taat) and personal search memo of the accused proved on record as Ex.PW-3/H. Despite a lengthy cross- examination of this witness, we do not find that the defence could succeed to create any dent to disbelieve his testimony.Many questions were put to him to dispute his presence and even with regard to his working as a sevadar in the Gurudwara Bangla Saheb but nothing could be elicited by the defence to disbelieve his presence at the spot of the crime or even his being a sevadar in the said Gurudwara Bangla Saheb.A. No. 512/2000 Page 17 of 46ASI Dharam Singh had recorded the statement of PW-3 Chander Bhan which carried the endorsement of ASI Dharam Singh and then sent the rukka (Ex.PW-18/B) to the Police Station for registration of the FIR.He further deposed that he had handed over kripan to ASI Dharam Singh and sketch of the Kirpan was drawn by ASI Dharam Singh which is proved on record as Ex.He is also a witness to the sketch of the cover of kirpan.The defence could not succeed to shatter his evidence despite his grueling cross-examination.The testimonies of these two eye witnesses find corroboration in the testimonies of PW-13 Bhagat Ram, PW-18 ASI Dharam Singh and PW-16 - Inspector B.S. Rana and PW-19 Inspector Gurnam Singh.The ocular evidence of this witness finds corroboration by medical evidence and forensic evidence proved on record by the prosecution.A.

No. 512/2000 Page 21 of 46Learned counsel for the appellant made a desperate but vain attempt to find fault with the testimonies of prosecution witnesses especially the two eye witnesses but nothing substantial was pointed out to disbelieve the case of the prosecution.To say that no DD entry was produced to show that PW-3 HC Chander Bhan was on patrolling duty at Gurudwara Bangla Saheb; the names of PCR officials were not found mentioned in the MLC of the deceased; failure of ASI Dharam Singh (PW-18) to inform the name of the deceased to the doctor of the hospital; PW-18 ASI Dharam Singh, Constable Bhagat Ram giving two different versions about the disclosure/non-disclosure of his names by the victim - Shera while he was being taken to the hospital in the PCR Van; variations with regard to the place of occurrence; how the deceased received fatal injury on the road which was at a distance of 230 sq. yds.and DD entry was recorded after a gap of 15 minutes from the time of incident; PCR Van reaching at the spot without receipt of any information about the incident; non-disclosure of the name of the accused by the deceased to HC Chander Bhan although he had ample time to disclose the same; ample time for the accused to run away if he had actually committed the crime; delayed medical assistance to the accused after a gap of 4-5 hours; sending of exhibits to CFSL after more than 20 days of the incident; are Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 22 of 46 only the peripheral aspects of the case but in no manner the same can corrode the credibility of the prosecution case.As already stated above, Gurudwara Bangla Saheb is a prominent place of worship and thousands of people almost round the clock pay visit to the gurudwara to seek blessings and there is nothing unusual that PW-3 Chander Bhan was on a patrolling duty in the vicinity of the said gurudwara.We also do not find anything unusual that the PCR had reached at the Jai Singh road at its own where the victim and the accused were brought by PW-3 - HC Chander Bhan.The non disclosure of the name of Shera by PW-18 to the doctor, who attended the deceased also cannot be held fatal to throw over broad the case of the prosecution which is otherwise found reliable, credible and trustworthy.A. No. 512/2000 Page 22 of 46So far as the variation with regard to the place of occurrence as pointed out by counsel for the appellant is concerned, the argument merits outright rejection as indisputably the victim and the accused were brought to the Jai Singh Road from the spot of the crime by HC Chander Bhan(PW-3) and there is nothing wrong if the DD entry and the postmortem entry records the name of the place where the victim was found unconscious.This fact, will however not change the place of actual Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 23 of 46 occurrence of the site which will remain the NDMC Park adjoining the Gurudwara Bangla Saheb.A. No. 512/2000 Page 23 of 46So far the contention of counsel for the appellant that the accused did not make any attempt to run away, had he been actually involved in the crime or the fact that he would not have the courage to continuously stab the victim in front of police officer, also do not cut much ice as HC Chander Bhan(PW-3) had over powered the accused and it is not the version of HC Chander Bhan(PW-3) that the accused kept on inflicting blows after he had seen him.As per his testimony, he saw the accused giving kirpan blows to the sardar who was lying on the ground and then he tried to intervene to snatch the kirpan from his hand.The blows therefore, were already inflicted by the accused on the victim before the intervention of HC Chander Bhan.The other discrepancies pointed out by learned counsel for the appellant are also totally inconsequential being of very trivial and insignificant nature.Where the omissions amount to a contradiction, creating a serious doubt about the truthfulness of the witness and other witnesses also make material improvement while deposing in the court, such evidence cannot be safe to rely upon.However, minor contradictions, inconsistencies, embellishments or improvements on trivial matters which do not affect the core of the prosecution case, should not be made a ground on which the evidence can be rejected in its entirety.Dealing with the next contention raised by the learned counsel for the appellant that the prosecution neither recorded the statement of Constable Jai Ram Singh nor examined him as a witness although he was the only person whose name was found to be mentioned in the MLC and would have been the best person to depose about the incident and Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 27 of 46 similarly, non examination of Head Constable Sucheta, who went to inform the PCR and likewise non-examination of the 'devotee' who had informed HC Chander Bhan(PW-3) about the quarrel to have taken place in the NDMC Park.Undoubtedly, the name of constable Jai Ram Singh does find mention in the MLC of the victim Shera and he was one of the police official who was present in the PCR.HC Chander Bhan (PW-3) in his cross-examination has referred to the person - Constable Jai Ram Singh in the PCR van.There were other police officials also in the PCR Van including the driver of the PCR Van.So far as the non-examination of the devotee is concerned, PW-3 HC Chander Bhan did not disclose the name of the devotee and in his cross- Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 28 of 46 examination he categorically stated that he did not note down the name of the person who had informed about the quarrel in the NDMC Park as many people had passed through that area to move towards the Gurudwara side at that time.A. No. 512/2000 Page 27 of 46A. No. 512/2000 Page 28 of 46The evidence is to be weighed and not counted.The general rule is that it is not the numerical strength of witnesses but the inherent strength of any witness which is the guiding factor for the prosecution to prove its case, therefore, it is not that particular number of witnesses in a case will be required to prove any particular fact if such a fact can be proved by any single credible witness.We thus, do not find any force in the contention raised by counsel for the appellant to disbelieve the prosecution version due to non examination of the said three witnesses.The next contention raised by counsel for the appellant was that there was no blood found on the weapon of offence and therefore, the story of the prosecution cannot be believed.PW-3 - HC Chander Bhan was very categorical in stating in his examination in chief that the accused person rubbed and cleaned the blade of the kirpan at the time when he tried to snatch the kirpan from his hand.When such coherent Crl.He further clarified that his clothes did not get any bloodstains from the injured Shera while he was talking to him and proceeding towards the road.We find no reason to disbelieve the clarification given by him that his clothes did not get any blood stains from the injured Shera.Even otherwise, the statement of the witness is to be read as a whole and once the court finds no reason to disbelieve his presence at the spot and his narration of what he had seen in front of his eyes is credible, we are not convinced to accept that his presence can be disbelieved because his clothes were free from bloodstains of the deceased.We also cannot loose sight of the fact that the presence of PW-3 HC Chander Crl.A. No. 512/2000 Page 30 of 46 Bhan at the spot of crime is duly corroborated by other prosecution witnesses mainly PW-7 Prakash Chander, SHO, and others.Even the FIR of the case was registered on the statement of PW-3 HC Chander Bhan.A. No. 512/2000 Page 29 of 46A. No. 512/2000 Page 30 of 46PW-5/B wherein, he stated that the weapon has slightly curved in the front portion and therefore, the injuries caused on the body of the victim may be inflicted from a slightly curved weapon.The said subsequent opinion given by PW-5 - Dr. Sanjiv Tandon, Senior Head of Department of Forensic and Medical, Lady Harding Medical College stating that the weapon examined by him was slightly curved is also in consonance with the sketch of the weapon of offence proved on record as Ex.PW-3/B which clearly shows that the kirpan was a curved one in the front portion.A.

No. 512/2000 Page 31 of 46Learned counsel for the appellant also raised a contention that the prosecution has failed to prove any motive on the part of the accused to commit the said crime.Motive assumes importance in cases wholly depending upon the circumstantial evidence and where ocular evidence is very clear and convincing and the role of accused persons in the crime can be clearly established, the failure to prove motive for the crime is hardly of any consequence.(Ref: Yunis @ Kariya etc. Vs.A.

+"Since both the appeals have arisen out of the common judgment of conviction and order of sentence dated 06.04.2016 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge Ganjbasoda, District Vidisha (M.P.) in Sessions Trial No.305/2009, both the following present interlocutory applications are being disposed of by the present common order:Heard on I.A.No.7748/16 and I.A.No.6669/16, applications under Section 389 (1) of Cr.P.C for suspension of sentence filed by appellant No.1, namely, Vikram (in Cra.450.2016) and by appellants No.1 and 4, namely, Kamlesh and Deshraj Singh (in Cra.463.2016) respectively.Each of the appellants has been convicted as mentioned below:Learned counsel for the appellants submit that the present appellants were on bail during trial and they did not misuse the liberty granted to them.In the present case, so many eyewitnesses like Pappu (PW-1), Inder Singh (PW-2), Kera Bai (PW-6), Avtaar Singh (PW-7), Rajesh Yadav (PW-9), Bhura (PW-8), Chandu (PW-10) and Sunnulal Yadav were examined.Some of the witnesses have declined to see the assault done with the deceased Prahlad Singh and some of them have said omnibusly that all the accused persons who were ten in number assaulted the deceased Prahlad Singh.Eye-witness Rajesh Yadav (PW-9) has turned completely hostile.Dr. Ashok Sharma (PW-4) has performed the post-mortem on the body of deceased Prahlad Singh and gave his report Ex.According to him there was a fracture on his head and a stitch wound was found on the head and he died due to the injuries caused on his head.Dr. Mamta Pardeshi (PW-3) had performed MLC of the deceased Prahlad Singh when he was alive.She gave a report Ex.According to her, several contusions were present on the head having size from 2x2 cms to 5x3cms.It was not 3 Cra.450.2016 & Cra.463.2016 mentioned by Dr. Mamta Pardeshi (PW-3) that how many contusions were found on the head whereas 10 accused persons were implicated in the crime.It is not the evidence of the witnesses that each of the accused had assaulted on the head of the deceased whereas no other injuries were found on his person except injuries on the head.No specific overt acts of the present appellants, namely, Vikram, Kamlesh and Deshraj Singh have been established by any of the eyewitnesses.Possibility cannot be ruled out that the other accused persons had assaulted the deceased and therefore the deceased Prahlad Singh would have died.There is no reason to presume the common intention or object of the present appellants along with other main accused persons.There are fair chances of success in this appeal.Present appellants- Vikram, Kamlesh and Deshraj Singh cannot be kept in custody unnecessarily otherwise the present appeals filed by them may turn infructuous.Under these circumstances, appellants- Vikram, Kamlesh and Deshraj Singh pray for suspension of their remaining jail sentence and grant of bail.Learned Panel Lawyer opposes the application.After considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the appellants and looking to the facts and circumstances of the case and the 4 Cra.450.2016 & Cra.463.2016 fact that the present appellants were on bail during trial, it would be appropriate to accept the applications of appellants- Vikram, Kamlesh and Deshraj Singh.Consequently, their applications I.A.No.7748/16 and I.A.No.6669/16 are hereby allowed.If appellants- Vikram, Kamlesh and Deshraj Singh deposit the fine amount before the trial court and furnish a bail bond in the sum of Rs.70,000/- (Rupees Seventy Thousand only) each along with one surety bond each of the same amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court that they shall appear before the Registry of this Court first on 19.12.2016 and on subsequent dates given by the office for

On 24th May, the Sub-Inspector took into possession the stock Register (Ex. 27) and the Visitors' Book (Ex. 25) of the Bungalow.He also seized blood-stained Dari (Ex. 30).On May 20, 1966, Shivprasad and Phoolchand visited Tourist Bungalow at Pushkar in the evening and talked to Shyamlal, Caretaker in confidence.Shivprasad and Phoolchand (appellant herein) together visited the house of Birdhichand, deceased, at 3 p.m. on May 21, 1966 at Aimer.Thereafter, Shivprasad called out the deceased and took him away.On May 21, 1966 at about 11 p.m. Phool Chand and Shiv Prasad, accompanied by another person (who according to the prosecution was the deceased) came to the Tourist Bungalow.Shyamlal, Care taker took them upstairs, and lodged them in Room No. 2F.On the night, between the 21st and 22nd May, 1966, at about 4 a.m., shrieks emanating from this Room 2F were heard.Next morning at about 7 A. M. on the 22nd May, 1966, Phoolchand and Shivprasad were seen going out after locking Room No. 2F, and the third visitor was not with them Shyamlal, carrying a Lota was also going out.On May 22, 1966 at about 11 a.m.. Phoolchand and Shivprasad came back to the Tourist Bungalow; Shivprasad then seated himself on the chabutri, while the sound of some footsteps of the other going upstairs were heard.On the night between the 22nd and 23rd May 1966, two persons were seen carrying a heavy load from the Tourist Bungalow.Shyamlal was with them, Shortly thereafter, Shyamlal alone returned to the Bungalow.On May 23, 1966, the dead- body of Birdhichand wrapped in a gunny bag was found in the field of one Chhoti PW at a distance of about furlongs from the Tourist Bungalow, Pushkar.JUDGMENT R.S. Sarkaria, J.It is directed against an appellate judgment of the High Court of Rajasthan whereby the acquittal of the appellant was set aside and converted into a conviction under Section 302 read with Section 34, Penal Code.At about 4 a.m. on May 22, 1966, Ruth Prem woke up on hearing shrieks emanating from Room 2F. She awakened her father.Jag mohan, who was lying asleep on a nearby cot.Jagmohan also heard the shrieks.There were also marks, each 1/2"" wide around both the legs in their lower one- third part.The Doctor also found reddening on both sides of the neck of the body.In the opinion of the Doctor, wounds 1 to 4 were sufficient to cause instantaneous death in the ordinary course of nature.The reddening on the neck, in the Doctor's opinion, might be the ""result of applying of hands on the neck.""He also took pos session of blood-stained bed-sheets (Ex. 31, Ex. 32) and the blood-stained table Ex. 33 from Room No. 2F. On the 25th May he arrested Phool Chand, appellant, Shyamlal, Care taker and one Prabhatilal.In consequence of the information supplied by Phool Chand, the Police Sub- Inspector recovered a silken kurta and a towel from the house of Kishorilal.On June 1, 1966, pursuant to information given by Prabhatilal, he recovered a towel (Ex. 23) of the Tourist Bungalow, chappel (Ex. 6) of the deceased and pyjama (Ex. 22) lying in room 2F.Shiv Prasad absconded and could not be arrested despite search.Therefore, after completing the investigation against Phoolchand, Shyamlal and Prabhatilal, the police sent them under a charge-sheet before a Magistrate, who after a preliminary enquiry committed them to the Court of Additional Sessions Judge, Ajmer, who tried the case and acquitted all the three accused.Against the acquittal of Phoolchand and Shymalal, the State preferred an appeal to the High Court.The High Court set aside the acquittal and convicted Phoolchand under Section 302, read with Section 34 Penal Code and sentenced him to imprisonment for life.The High Court maintained the acquittal of Shyamlal in respect of offences under Section 302 read with Section 109 and Section 465, Penal Code but convicted him for an offence under Section 201, Penal Code, with a sentence of 3 years' rigorous imprisonment.At the trial the prosecution demanded conviction of the appellant and his co-accused purely on the basis of circumstantial evidence which may be catalogued as under:It bore several injuries including stab wounds and reddening on both sides of the neck.The stab wounds were ante mortem and sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.The Dari of Room No. 2F, Seized on the 24th May, 1966 from the store-room, and one bed sheet were found stained with blood which according to the Serologist was human blood.Blood was found on the stone pieces of the floor just outside Room 2F and on the slab of the staircase.This blood according to the report of the Serologist was of human origin.20. Evidence with regard to circumstance No. 2 was given by Smt. Shanti Devi (PW 6) and Chandrakala (PW 7) the wife and daughter, respectively of the deceased.To substantiate Circumstance No. 8, the prosecution examined Chhotu (PW2) the Investigating Ofifcer, H.N. Tak (PW 33) and Dr. Chandra Mohan Mathur PW.Evidence with regard to Circumstance 10 was furnished by the statement of the Investigating Officer.In its opinion, ""Shanti Devi's statement in this Court, that Phool Chand visited her house along with Shiv Prasad during the night of May 21, 1966 when her husband accompanied them, does not seem to be true so far as Phool Chand is concerned."" It further held that Jagmohan's statement was ""wholly unacceptable."" It further found that the infirmities in Ruth Prem's evidence go to show that she had seen (or heard) nothing during the nights between 21/22-5-66 and 22/23-5-66, and that her evidence has been created."" On these findings,"" the trial Court acquitted Phoolchand and Shyamlal.On appeal by the State, the High Court reversed these findings.In its opinion, the evidence of the aforesaid witnesses was entirely trustworthy and therefore, the circumstances enumerated above which had been cogently established, were sufficient to bring home the guilt to the appellant beyond doubt.Mr. Mulla, learned Counsel for the appellant contends that in the circumstances of the case, the High Court was totally unjustified in reversing the acquittal.Apart from reiteratnig the reasons given by the trial Court Counsel has pointed out several features of this case, which according, to him, had made the testimony of Jagmohan an unsafe basis for convicting the appellant.It is contended that the investigation was not fair; that the investigator fabricated evidence of the recovery of some incriminating articles to implicate the appellant; that this piece of evidence was found wholly unreliable by both the courts below; that Jagmohan was , first rounded up as one of the suspects and after some detention, a statement was extorted from him after a delay of at least two days and the story of Jagmohan's proceeding on two days' leave was fabricated to cover up the delay; that Jagmohan's evidence be sides being of an accomplice character, was a got up one; that to tie down Jagmohan to the story put in to his mouth by the Police, his statement was got recorded before a Magistrate under Section 164, Cr.P.C., that in any case, Jagmohan according to his own admission, had never seen Phoolchand, appellant before the 20th May, and on that day, too.for some fleeting moments in the darkness; that on the morning of 20th May, also, he claims to have seen Phoolchand from a distance; that in these circumstances it was hazardous to convict the appellant on the basis of the uncorroborated testimony of Jagmohan; that no such corroboration wag forthcoming since the evidence with regard to Phoolchand's visit to the house of the deceased on the night of the 21st May, 1966 was utterly unreliable.As against this, Mr. Jain, appearing for the respondent-State has tried to support the judgment of the High Court.After a careful consideration of the evidence on record and the arguments advanced on both sides, we are of opinion that the conviction of Phoolchand, appellant cannot be upheld.The case against the appellant hinges to a very large extent on the testimony of Jagmohan.While most of these reasons were effectively dispelled by the High Court, two of them in our opinion, have not been considered in the right perspective, nor entirely neutralised.The first of them relates to his statement that on May 20, 1966, also, at about 8 p.m. Phool Chand appellant and Shivprasad came to the Tourist Bungalow, Pushkar and began having a talk with Shyamlal accused.When the witness tried to go near them, Shyamlal asked him to be off, and the witness went away.The trial Judge did not believe the above version of Jagmohan because in his opinion the defence version rendered by two Audit Officers, B.P. Mathur (DW 3) and R.L. Sharma (DW 4) showed that at 8 P.M. on the 20th May. 1966, Shyamlal was at the Bus Stand, Pushkar to see off the said Officers.On these premises, the trial Judge concluded:The statement of Jagmohan that accused Shivprasad and Phoolchand came to the Tourist Bungalow in the evening of 20-5-66 does not seem to be correct in point of time.(Underlining ours)We agree with the trial Judge that Jagmohan's version as to the visit of Shivprasad and his companion to the Tourist Bungalow, Pushkar on the 20th May not be correct with regard to the time of the visit.The visit appears to have been sometime after 8 p.m. under cover of darkness.The time of this visit and keeping Jagmohan away, have an important bearing on the question of Phool Chand's identification.In cross-examination, Jagmohan admitted that he had not seen Phool Chand before his visit to Shyamlal on the 20th May. In other words, Phool Chand was not known to the witness.The witness according to his own showing, was not allowed to come near and participate in the talk between the visitors and Shyamlal.He had therefore, caught only a momentary glimpse of the visitors in the darkness.In spite of the fact that Phool Chand was a stranger to Jagmohan, no test identification of Phool Chand was held before a Magistrate.On the 21st May, also, he according to his own version, saw Phool Chand and Shiv Prasad coming to the Bungalow at 11 P.M. at night time.He did not escort the visitors to lodge them in Room No. 2F. Nor did the witness contact them.It was Shyamlal only who took them to that room to be lodged for the night.It seems that Jagmohan was deliberately not allowed by Shyamlal to get near the visitOrs.Under these circumstances, Jagmohan could commit an honest mistake as to the identification of Phool Chand who was not previously known to him.The second infirmity in Jagmohan's evidence stems from the circumstance that there was a delay of two days in recording his statement by the Police.Jagmohan has tried to explain it away by saying that he had gone away from Pushkar after taking two days' leave for the 22nd and 23rd May, 1966 and his statement was recorded on his return from leave on the 24th May. There is a discrepancy as to the place where Jagmohan's statement was recorded.The Investigating Officer stated that he had examined Jagmohan in the Tourist Bungalow.Inconsistently with it, Ruth Prem (PW 27) daughter of Jagmohan stated that their statements were recorded in the Police Station where her father had been kept under restraint for some days.No leave application of Jagmohan was forthcoming.Jagmohan gave a cock and bull story inasmuch as he said that he had sent his son Ullhas (PW 29) to borrow Rs. 5/- to cover his travelling expenses to Beawar, while he himself could do the same on his way to Beawar via Aimer.In view of all these circumstances, the trial Court's finding that the story of Jagmohan going on two days' leave, had been invented merely to cover up the delay of two days in his examination by the Police, could not be said to be clearly wrong.The fact remains that there was hesitation on his part to disclose the facts within his knowledge, concerning the commission of this murder.Then, his statement was got recorded by the Police before a Magistrate, under Section 164, Cr.P.C. Might be that this precaution to get a hold on the witness was taken, because there was an apprehension of the witness resiling from his statement under pressure of the accused.Such an apprehension could not be altogether unfounded because one of the accused, namely, Shyamlal, was his immediate Officer, and another, Shivprasad was absconding.It remains to be seen further whether such confirmation, circumstantial or direct, was available, in this case.That Birdhichand was murdered sometime on the night between 21st and 22nd of May, 1966 is not disputed.The medical witness who conducted the autopsy found redness on both sides of the neck of the deceased.There were several ante-mortem stab wounds on the body which were sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.The Doctor opined that the redness on the neck was caused by the application of pressure on the neck.The medical evidence thus indicates that the murder was in all probability, committed by two assailants acting in concert.While the medical evidence fixes the number of the assailants at two, it cannot fix their identity.There was yet another circumstance which, if established, could have, with some certainty, connected Phool Chand with the murder in question.This circumstance, as alleged by the prosecution, was that on the evening at about 8 P.M. on May 21, 1966, Shiv Prasad absconder and Phool Chand appellant, both decoyed and took away Birdhi Chand from the latter's house at Aimer.The prosecution had examined two witnesses to substantiate this circumstance.The witnesses were Smt. Shanti, the wife, and Chanderkala, aged 11 years, the daughter of the deceased.The trial Court found that Chanderkala even at the time of her examination in court, was too immature to understand the sanctity of oath, and therefore no oath was administered to her.The Court further held that she was a child witness and as such her evidence was ""dangerous in the extreme"" as child witnesses not un-often live in a climate of ""make-believe.""The trial Court also took note of the fact that Shanti Devi while informing on the 22nd May, about the non-return of her husband, to her brother Rattan Lal (PW 4), did not name Phool Chand, but named Shiv Prasad only as the person who had taken her husband away from the house:The High Court has tried to counter these reasons by saying that in cross-examination no questions were put to the child witness to establish that she had been tutored to make that statement: that Smt. Shanti's statement at the trial was of a derivative nature and her omission to name Phool Chand before the police as the companion of Shiv Prasad when the latter took away her husband from his house at Aimer, could not be used to contradict or discredit either Shanti or her daughter Chander Kala.In our opinion, the High Court did not appraise the failure of Smt. Shanti to implicate Phool Chand, while reporting the matter to her brother, in the right perspective.Firstly, her report to her brother was not a statement made to police in the course of investigation.Consequently, the bar of Section 162, Cr.P.C. as to the use of that statement, did not apply.Secondly, Smt. Shanti must have made full enquiries from her daughter, Chanderkala, as to the number of persons who had been seen by her when she went downstairs to meet Shiv Prasad.Smt. Shanti has stated that soon after the departure of her husband her suspicions about the security of their valuables were (Ref.(I.T.) No. 158 of 1967, D/-6-3-1970 of the Award of Ind. Tri.Maharashtra) aroused.Consequently, she got a double lock put on the shop of her husband.Conversely, if Phool Chand had really been seen standing behind Shiv Prasad near the chabutri by Chanderkala, she would not have failed to pass on that information to her mother when she asked her to put another lock on the door of the shop.",['Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

To 11 A.M. The inquest report was prepared in the presence of Ayodhya Prasad, the father of the prosecutrix.According to the inlquest report, the cause of death was strangulation by pressing the neck of the deceased.According to that report, the parents of the deceased Durgesh Kumari had gone to Delhi on 24.3.2005 who attend Satsang of Satgurudev Maharaj and the deceased remained alone at her house because one Tula Ram, the brother of the first informant was also living in the village.The deceased was student of Class-IVth.On 24.3.2005 at about 8 P.M., she had gone to attend the call of nature out side the village but she did not return after a considerable period then one Tula Ram went towards the place of occurrence in search of the deceased.He heard the Shriekh of the deceased from the field of one Mohan Swaroop.He proceeded towards there by flashing a torch light and saw the applicants and co-accused Nanhey Lal and Prem Pal who were committing the rape at the pistol point by pressing the mouth of the deceased.Thereafter, the applicants and other accused persons ran away leaving the deceased at the place of occurrence.The deceased disclosed the fact before all the persons who gathered at the place of occurrence that she was forcibly lifted by the applicants and two other co-accused persons and taken to the field of wheat where she was raped by the applicants and 2 other co-accused persons at the pistol points.The parents of the deceased were not present at the house so the F.I.R. was not lodged immediately thereafter.But thereafter certain derogatory remarks were also passed by the applicants and other co-accused persons on the deceased and she was harassed and mentally tortured.On 28.3.2005, the parents of the deceased came to Bareilly from Delhi but the father of the deceased stayed at Bareilly for some work and the mother of the deceased came to village Lalpur.JUDGMENT Ravindra Singh, J.The mother of the deceased went to the house of Khem Karan Lal.In the meantime, the applicants and two other co-accused persons entered into the house of the deceased by crossing a boundary wall and the main gate was closed by them from inside and they committed murder of the deceased by throtling and to conceal this act and to divert the attention of all the persons, the deceased was hanged by them at the door and they ran away from the house by jumping the boundary wall.They were seen by Deena Nath when they were jumping the boundary wall , subsequently, it was found that the deceased was hanging thereafter, rope was cut and she was taken down but and the deceased had died and on that information , Ayodhya Prasad, the father of the deceased came in the village in the same night.But, the Chaukidar went to police station to gave this information.It is contended by the learned counsel for the applicants that according to the prosecution version, the applicants and two other co-accused persons committed the rape with the deceased on 24.8.2005 at about 8.00 P.M. but in respect of the rape, no F.I.R. was lodged, whereas, Deena Nath, the uncle of the deceased was present in the village.Accordingly to the information of the chaukidar and according to the statement of the witnesses recorded by the Investigating Officer under Section 161 Cr.P.C, the deceased committed suicide because she was raped by the applicants and other co-accused persons and the insulting remarks were passed upon her by them and she was mentally harassed, but the allegation of rape has been made against the applicants and other co-accused persons but no such F.I.R. was lodged against the applicants and other co-accused persons, therefore, it is an allegation after thought.It is further contended that the prosecution story is not corroborated by the post mortem examination report, the deceased had not committed the suicide but she was murdered by strangulation because injuries were found on the neck of the deceased on the front of both the sides of the neck 7 cm below the right ear and 3 cm below the chin and 4 cm below left ear and the cause of death was Asphyixia as a result of ante mortem strangulation, it is contended that the deceased was murdered by her family members but to save their skin, the false information was given to the police station concerned and thereafter, the applicant and other co-accused persons were falsely implicated.It is opposed by the learned A.G.A. by submitting that according to the detailed report dated 30.3.2005, ther father of the deceased clearly stated that when his wife has gone to the house of one Khem Karan Lal at that time, the deceased was alone at her house.The applicants and other co-accused persons got a chance and entered into the house by jumping the wall and after closing the door from nside and they committed the murder of the deceased by way of throttling .It is further contended that nobody has seen that how and in what manner the deceased was murdered but the post mortem examination report shows that first of all the deceased was subjected to rape , thereafter, he was murdered by throttling because in the post mortem examination report, an abrasion insize of 4cm x 3 cm was present on inner part of thigh near to vaginal region and hymen was teared and clothed blood was present and the blood was found in the uterus of the deceased also.It shows that a sexual assault was made on the deceased .She was murdered there after hanged by to divert the attention , there was a sexual assault also, thereafter the deceased was murdered.There is specific allegation against the applicants and other co-accused person when they have entered the house of the deceased by jumping a wall and the door of the house was closed from inside, it shows that she was murder and thereafter hanged by the applicants and other co-accused persons, in such circumstances, it cannot be said that the parents of the deceased have committed the murder of the deceased.Accordingly this bail application is rejected.","['Section 376 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 306 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 302 in The Indian Penal

The relevant portionof the statement of Darshan Singh reads as under:-""I am innocent.In fact the complainant party had gone back from the agreement got effected by the Panchayat one year prior to the occurrence.In accordance with the said compromise we had ploughed the land which was earlier under common pathway.One day prior to the occurrence we had irrigated that portion of the land.On the day of occurrence when we went to the fields, Gurcharan Singh (deceased) along with 3-4 outsiders came to our field and remarked that we would be taught a lesson for irrigating the land.Immediately thereafter Gurcharan Singh gave a gandasa blow hitting my father Bakhtawar Singh on the head as a result of which he fell down.I felt that my father had been killed.Gurcharan Singh then advanced towards me holding the gandasa.I apprehended that I too would be killed and I then pulled the trigger of my gun.Gurcharan Singh fell to the ground and his companions took to their heels.I then took Bakhtawar Singh in injured condition to Govt. hospital, Sudhar.Police came to the hospital at about 5 p.m. We were kept under guard and brought to the police station on the next day after getting my father discharged.We have been falsely implicated in this case.Bakhtawar Singh (accused) pleaded as under:-""I am innocent.It was the complainant party who had resiled from the compromise got effected by Panchayat about a year before the occurrence.We had ploughed the land which had fallen to our share and one day prior to the occurrence we had irrigated the same.On the day of occurrence when we went to the fields Gurcharan Singh (deceased) along with 3-4 outsiders came to our field and remarked that we would be taught a lesson for irrigating the land.Immediately thereafter Gurcharan Singh gave a gandasa blow on my head as a result of which I fell down.Gurcharan Singh then advanced towards Darshan Singh holding his gandasa whereupon Darshan Singh fired a shot from his gun.I was taken to Government hospital, Sudhar by Darshan Singh.Police came there on the same day at about 5 p.m. and took us to the police station after getting me discharged.I have been falsely involved in this case.""According to the versions of the accused Darshan Singhand Bakhtawar Singh, Gurcharan first gave Gandasa blowhitting Bakhtawar Singh on the head and the injury caused onBakhtawar Singh was an incised wound of 7 cm x 0.5 cm.onthe parietal region of the right side of head.The wound wasbone deep and 4 cm above the right pinna and clotted bloodwas present and after receiving these injuries in order to savehimself, Darshan Singh fired at Gurcharan Singh and as aresult of which he died.According to the accused, the entireact is covered by the right of private defence.According to theprosecution, Bakhtawar Singh gave first injury on the chest of 10Gurcharan Singh whereas according to the defence the firstinjury was given by Gurcharan Singh to Bakhtawar Singh.The appellant Darshan Singh fired only after the seriousincised wound by a Gandasa was inflicted on his fatherBakhtawar Singh and at that time in order to save his life hefired 2 shots which hit the deceased Gurcharan Singh leadingto his death.The point for determination is the place where theunfortunate incident had taken place.According to BhupinderSingh Patwari, PW3, point `A' in site plan Ex.According to Bhupinder SinghPatwari, Point `E' is in Khasra No.10 from where DarshanSingh had allegedly fired at Gurcharan Singh.According tothe site plan prepared by Bhupinder Singh Patwari, Point `F' isthe place where the dispute took place with Bakhtawar Singh.According to the Patwari, this point `F' is in Khasra No.10 at a 11distance of 5 karms which is equivalent to 27.5 feet from theaforesaid pathway and point `A' is at a distance of 7 karmsfrom point `F'.Thus, from this evidence it is evident that theoccurrence took place inside Khasra No.10 which was inpossession of Bakhtawar Singh accused.Gurcharan Singhcovered a distance of about 7 karms which is equivalent to37.5 feet.The trial court came to the conclusion that the presenceof Gurdev Singh and Gurdish Singh at the time of allegedoccurrence is highly doubtful.Dr. Mukesh Gupta also statedthat injuries on the person of Gurdev Singh and GurdishSingh could be caused by friendly hands and can be selfsuffered.He further stated in the cross examination thatduration of the injuries was less than 6 hours.As per theprosecution case, the injuries were allegedly received by themat about 8 a.m. No pellet was recovered from the injuries ofthese witnesses namely, Gurdev Singh and Gurdish Singh.According to the trial court, the possibility of these injuries ontheir person having been fabricated at a later stage cannot beruled out.The trial court also held that there was no mentionof the injuries received by Gurdish Singh and Gurdev Singh in 12the inquest report whereas this fact finds mention in the firstinformation report.According to the prosecution, GurdishSingh suffered pellet injury on the left upper arm whereas,Gurdev Singh was hit on his left thigh.If it was so, therewould have been mention of this fact in the inquest report orthe investigating officer must have prepared their injurystatement, but neither any such injury statement wasprepared at the spot nor their medical-examination wascarried out.Om Prakash, ASI, in his cross-examination hasadmitted that he came to know about the injuries of GurdishSingh and Gurdev Singh only when they gave theirsupplementary statements at the bus stand.According to thefindings of the trial court, their injury statement was preparedat the spot and they were medically examined by Dr. MukeshGupta.Thus, according to the trial court the injuries werefabricated with connivance with the investigating officer just inorder to make Gurdish Singh and Gurdev Singh stampwitnesses.The trial court after discussing the entire evidence cameto the conclusion that two counter versions of the case havebeen presented and, in the view of the trial court, the defence 13version is more probable and nearer to the truth for thefollowing reasons:(i) The delay in lodging the FIR impells the court to scrutinize the evidence of witnesses regarding the actual occurrence with greater care and caution.(ii) The crucial point to be decided in this case was that who was the aggressor or which of the parties can have the motive to open the attack?The trial court held that ""if the accused were already cultivating the land as per compromise, then it does not appeal to reason as to why they would feel aggrieved.On the other hand there was strong motive for Gurcharan Singh to assault the accused person as he has resiled from the compromise.""(iii) The next crucial point according to the trial court was as to where the incident took place? According to the trial court the incident had taken place in the field of the accused.Gupta stated that the injuries on Gurdev Singh and Gurdish Singh could be caused by friendly hands and can be self suffered.(v) No pellet was recovered from the injuries of the prosecution witnesses namely, Gurdev Singh and Gurdish Singh.The possibility of the injuries on their persons having been fabricated at a later stage cannot be ruled out.The trial court found that, in the instant case, it appeared that the inquest report was prepared first and the FIR was prepared at some later stage because there was no mention about the injuries of Gurdev Singh and Gurdish Singh in the inquest report, whereas this fact is mentioned in the FIR.According to the prosecution case, Gurdish Singh suffered a pellet injury on his left upper arm whereas, Gurdev Singh was hit on his left thigh.This was so mentioned in the FIR.If it was so, this fact would have been mentioned in the inquest report or the Investigating Officer must have prepared their injury statement, but no such injury statement was prepared at the spot nor their medical examination was got done.In the cross-examination, Om Prakash ASI had admitted that he came to know about the injuries of Gurdish Singh and Gurdev Singh only when they gave their supplementary statements at the bus stand.The finding of the trial court is that the injuries were fabricated with the connivance of the Investigating Officer just in order to make Gurdish Singh and Gurdev Singh stamp witnesses.(vi) Gurdish Singh P.W.7 had admitted that his father Gurcharan Singh was face to face when Bakhtawar Singh gave Gandasa blow from above to downward vertically on the chest of Gurcharan Singh.However, Dr. Mukesh Gupta contradicted him and stated that injury no.3 on the person of Gurcharan Singh was skin deep and was horizontally placed and was possible by a fall on a sharp edged weapon.From this it can safely be concluded that it was not Bakhtawar Singh who gave Gandasa blow to Gurcharan Singh in the manner as suggested by the prosecution.It is most likely that Gurcharan Singh suffered injury no. 3 by a fall on his own Gandasa and this was the reason that the wound was only skin deep.The story put forth by the prosecution that 16 Gurcharan Singh was cutting weeds of ridges with Gandasa is not believable.Gurdish Singh stated that he was collecting the cut weeds.They were not having any Kassi or Khurpa and it was not possible to cut weeds of ridges with Gandasa.(vii) The trial court came to a clear conclusion that Bakhtawar Singh was injured at point `F' as shown in the site plan at the hands of Gurcharan Singh (deceased).Gurcharan Singh after causing that injury forwarded towards Darshan Singh armed with Gandasa and at that point Darshan Singh had no option but to open fire and Gurcharan Singh died of that firearm injury.",['Section 313 in The Indian Penal Code'],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
