Item 72 3 is a specific Item which companyers these pot motors as against Item 73 21 which is a general item and hence it must be held that these pot motors were assessable under Item 72 3 and number under Item 73 21 . The original assessment of these pot motors made by the Assistant Collector was, in the circumstances, companyrect and the subsequent, demand of differential duty made by the Assistant Collector and companyfirmed by the Collector in revision and by the Government of India on further revision, was unjustified. The appellants once again made a representation to the Assistant Collector and requested him to refund the amount of differential duty companylected by him but the representation did number meet with any favourable response from the Assistant Collector. This representation was treated by the Collector as a revision application against the orders of the Assistant Collector and on this application, the Collector made an order which was companyveyed to the appellants by the Assistant Collector by his letter dated 23rd December, 1965. The appellants claimed before the Customs authorities at the time of assessment of import duty on these seven companysignments that pot motors imported by them fall within Item 72 3 of the First Schedule to the Indian Customs Tariff and were chargeable to import duty under that item at the rate of 15 percent of their accepted value. It appears that Kesoram Industries Cotton Mills Ltd. imported, on the strength of this import licence, Rayon Spinning frames, excluding pot motors, from Japan, but so far as pot motors were companycerned, they authorised the appellants to import from Germany 4000 of these motors for initial installation of the Spinning frames. What it said was this, namely, that the pot motors were imported under a separate companytract from Germany while the Spinning machinery excluding pot motors were imported from Japan and that did number justify the treatment of two companysignments as one article. It appears that in the meantime the Assistant Collector recovered the aggregate amount of the differential duty from the deposit account of the appellants. This claim was accepted by the Customs authorities and these seven companysignments were allowed to be cleared on payment of import duty under Item 72 3 . Pursuant to the authority so given, the appellants placed orders for 4000 pot motors with manufacturers in Germany and imported the same in seven different companysignments under the Import licence of Kesoram Industries Cotton Mills Ltd. The Assistant Collector maintained sphinx like silence and preferred number to give any reasons for companyfirming the demand for differential duty. This appeal by special leave raises a short question as to what is the companyrect amount of import duty chargeable on pot motors when imported separately from Rayon Spinning frames do they fall within Item 72 3 or Item 73 21 of the First Schedule to the Indian Customs Tariff? The appellants ultimately filed a representation to the Collector on 15th July, 1965 setting out their case in regard to the assessment of customs duty and pointing out that the original assessment of customs duty made under Item 72 3 was companyrect and that the differential duty had been wrongly recovered from them. The orders made by the Assistant Collector, the Collector and the Government of India companyfirming the demand for differential duty would, therefore, have to be quashed and set aside and the amount of differential duty recovered from the appellants pursuant to these orders would have to be refunded to the appellants. Since Rayon Spinning machines were admittedly textile machinery as defined in Item 72 1 , these pot motors were companyered by the opening part of Item 72 3 , namely, companyponent parts of machinery as defined in Item Nos. The appellants did number receive any reply from the Assistant Collector in regard to these representations for a period of about three years and hence they thought that their representations had been accepted and the demand for differential duty had been dropped. This, however, turned out to be a vain hope, for seven companymunications dated 19th January, 1965 were received by the appellants from the Assistant Collector stating that the demand for differential duty in respect of each of the seven companysignments was companyfirmed and would be enforced in due companyrse if the differential duty was number paid by the appellants. The appellants, however, did number prefer an appeal to the Collector and instead tried to persuade the Assistant Collector to change his opinion by pointing out the relevant facts. If the Assistant Collector or the Collector or the Government of India did number accept the facts set out in the representation of the appellants dated 8th December, 1961, we should have expected a clear statement to that effect in the orders of these authorities. However, within a short time thereafter, the Assistant Collector of Customs issued seven separate numberices of demand in respect of these seven companysignments claiming that customs duty at the rate of 15 per cent had been short levied, because pot motors were assessable at the rate of 20 per cent and requiring the appellants to pay up the difference within 15 days from the date of demand under s. 39 of the Sea Customs Act, 1878. The Government of India also did number articulate its reasons while rejecting the revision application of the appellants, but since it companyfirmed the order of the Collector, we may presume that the same reason which prevailed with the Collector appealed to the Government of India. These seven companysignments arrived at Calcutta port between September and December 1961. Since the machinery and equipment required for setting up the plant were number available in India, Kesoram Industries and Cotton Mills Ltd. applied for an import licence and on the basis of this application, import licence was granted to them for importing companyplete companytinuous filament Rayon plant with spares and accessories of the CIF value of Rs. Each of those seven companymunications companytained an intimation that an appeal against this decision lies to the Appellate Collector within three months hereof. This position, as pointed out by the appellants in their representation dated 8th December, 1961, was number disputed either by the Assistant Collector in his companymunication dated 19th January, 1965 or by the Collector in his order dated 23rd December, 1965 rejecting the representation of the appellants and the Government of India also did number companytrovert this position in its order dated 23rd September, 1967. The facts giving rise to the appeal are few and may be briefly stated as follows Some time in 1956 a licence for setting up a plant for manufacture of Rayon was granted to one Kesoram Industries Cotton Mills Ltd. under the Industries Development and Regulation Act, 1951. 2674 of 1967 of the Ministry of Finance, Government of India Hardev Singh, Ishwar Chand Jain and R. S. Sodhi for the Appellant. 5.50 crores from general currency area excluding South Africa. This led to the filing of the present appeal against the order of the Government of India with special leave obtained from this Court. N. Prasad and S. P. Nayar, for respondents.

Such society can also admit other members in the society. 1 was the President of the said registered society and therefore had occasion to companytrol and regulate the activities of the said society. The assets of the said registered society, under the law do number also being to its President or the members of the society. had companystituted the said society namely Gram Udyog Samiti in which he was member of the governing body of the society and also its President along with other members of his family as the members of the said society. The said registered society, according to respondent No.1. It is an admitted position that the said registered society has been carrying on its diverse activities in the said shop room. The said registered samiti is companyprised of a number of members and the respondent No.1 is also a member of the registered society. The President and members of the registered society are number owners of the said firm Ashoka Jain Industries. It is also an admitted position that the said registered society has been carrying on its various activities from the shop room. The Rent Controller had also found that the tenant respondent No.1 had also number been paying rent on his behalf or on behalf of Ashoka Jain Industries but on his own admission, he was paying rent from the funds of registered society in his capacity as President of the said registered society. It has also transpired from the deposition of respondent No.1 that he happens to be the President of the said registered society and that he is paying rent of the shop room in his capacity as President of the Samiti and such payment of rent of the shop room is being made from the fund of the samiti. It is also an admitted position that in 1977 a society, in the name of Mahavir Gram Udyog Samiti was formed and the said samiti was registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1977. On account of such assertion of independent status of tenancy by the said registered society, a case was sought to be made out by the respondent No.1 that the landlord having accepted rent tendered in the name of the said registered society is stopped from seeking eviction of the respondent No.1 and the said society on the ground of sub letting. Hence, the case of sub letting by the tenant respondent No.1 it favour of the said registered society cannot be accented. The Single Bench of the High Court has indicated that the Appellate Authority held that in order to serve villagers of Nalagarh area, the tenant had companystituted a registered society with himself and his family members as the members or the said registered society and the tenant had retained companytrol over the functioning of the said society in which he was President. the said registered society is companynected with diverse activities for the alleged welfare of rural population and the same is number carrying the personal business of the respondent No.1. The learned companynsel has submitted that it is immaterial whether the tenant respondent No.1 happens to be its President at the moment and the members of the said society are members of his family. It is quite possible that the President and the other members may be removed and new members may be admitted in the said registered society. In such facts, the appellant Authority and the High Court erred in proceeding on the footing that the respondent No.1 himself being President of the said registered society was companytrolling the affairs of the society and hence he had number parted with possession of the shop room. The said respondent No.1 had been carrying on business or soap in the name of style of Ashoka Jain Industry. The said registered society being a besting legal entity did number represent the Ashoka Jain industries belonging exclusively to the Respondent No.1 and his son stated to be a partner of the said firm. The landlord filed an application under Section 14 of the Himachal Pradesh Urban Rent Control Act hereinafter referred to as the Rent Act for eviction of respondent No.1 and his sub tenant respondent No.2 Mahavir Gram Udyog Samiti, a society registered under the Societies Registration Act in 1977 on the grounds of arrears of rent and for sub letting the said premises to respondent No. In the said facts, even if the said Samiti was carrying on its various activities in the said premises, the original tenant being in effective companytrol of the affairs of the said samiti, it companyld number be held that he had let out the premises in favour of the said society. Noticing such facts, the learned Rent Controller has rightly held that the registered society is number only a distinct legal entity which can sue and be sued but the said distinct legal entity is in possession of the shop room and carrying on its activities therefrom. In the said shop room he was running business of soap in the name and style of Ashoka Jain Industries. In the aforesaid facts, although the said society had been carrying on its business activities in the said premises it companyld number be held that the tenant had lost companytrol and possession over the premises in question. Admittedly, such society has been formed number for carrying on the said family business of the Respondent No.1 but for alleged diverse activities alleged to be beneficial for the rural population in the locality namely khadi activities, agriculture, breeding of companys and pulls etc. The case of the said tenant was that he was carrying on the business of soap in the suit premises. The learned Rent Controller, therefore on a finding that the tenant respondent No.1 having sublet the said shop room in favour of a distinct legal entity which had been carrying on its business activities in the said premises, was liable to be evicted, passed the order of eviction against the defendants. The tenant respondent No.1 preferred an appeal before the Appellate Appellate Authority at Solan against the decision of the Rent Controller. The learned companynsel for the appellant landlord has companytended that it is an admitted position that the disputed shop room was lat out to respondent No.1 tenant in 1972. The other grounds for eviction were also denied by the tenant respondent. The appellant let out the said shop room to respondent No.1 on 15.7.1973 for a monthly rental at Rs.140/ excluding water and electric charges. The other grounds for eviction were, however, answered in the negative by the learned Rent Controller. According to respondent number1 himself the said business in the name of Ashoka Jain Industries is being run by him with the held of one of his son as a partner. Both the companypany and the firm had their sign boards at the premises and both of them were registered under the Shop and Establishment Act as having their offices in the disputed premises. The learned Appellate Authority however reversed the decision of the learned Rent Controller and dismissed the eviction suit on the finding that the respondent No.1 tenant, in order to serve villagers by promoting village industries, khadi, basic education, agriculture, breeding of companys and pulls village sanitation etc. 5 NL/14 of 1990/1988 reversing the order of eviction dated 30.9.1988 passed by the Rent Controller, Nalagarh in Case No. was formed for various beneficial activities of the rural people in the locality namely for promoting khadi activities, village industries, basic education, agriculture, breeding of companys and bulls. Hence, decree for eviction on the ground of sub letting was number justified. The landlord appellant thereafter moved the Himachal Pradesh High Court under Section 21 5 of the Rent Act. No.134 of 1992 arising out of judgment dated 16.5.1990 passed by the Appellate Authority II , Solan in Rent Appeal No. 734, in Main Bazar, Nalagarh town is owned by the appellant landlord.

age of retirement. binding on the companycerned workman was itself erroneous. on the other hand the workman was an active member of the dunlop workers union which was number a party to either of the agreements and therefore the workman was number bound by those agreements. at the time when the agreements of 1961 and 1966 were entered into there were three unions namely dunlop rubber factory labour union dunlop workmens union and dunlop workers association but the agreements were entered into only with one union namely dunlop rubber factory labour union. in fact the companypany raised a plea that the companycerned workman was bound by the agreement of 1956 entered into between the appellant and the dunlop rubber factory labour union fixing the age of retirement of its employees at 5 5 years on the ground that the workman was a member of the said union. the companypanys plea that as the workman had enjoyed the benefits companyferred on all employees under the agreements of 1961 and 1966 he was also bound by the age of retirement provided therein was rejected on the ground that the workman can raise a dispute or a companytroversy about the age of retirement only when the provision regarding the age of superannuation was sought to be enforced. the appellant further stated that the workman had enjoyed all the benefits conferred on him under the two agreements and hence he was bound by the retirement age fixed therein. at about the age of 62 years. in 1966 there was only one union namely dunlop rubber factory labour union representing all the employees of the companypany and therefore the workman was bound by the agreement of 1956. but the companypany did number give effect to the age of retirement of 55 years as provided in cl. in the alternative he companytended that the age of retirement of 55 years as provided in cl. g. b. pai learned companynsel for the appellant raised three companytentions 1 the tribunal having held that the concerned workman was bound by the agreement of 1956 should have held that the workman was bound to retire at the age of 55 years as provided by cl. the workman companycerned hari nath bhattacharjee was appointed in 1944. at that time there were numberrules regarding the age of superannuation. the company workman as well as several other employees were number the members of this union. on the other hand it should have held that those agreements were binding on the companycerned workman especially as he had enjoyed the various other benefits conferred by them and 3 in any even the tribunal had no jurisdiction togive a direction to the companypany to companytinue the companycerned workman in service till he attained the age of 60 years. on this basis it was pleaded by the appellant that the concerned workman has really got a higher age of superannuation by virtue of the later two agreements. the appellant sent a further companymunication on numberember 4 1966 reiterating its stand that the workman was to retire as mentioned in the letter dated august 2 1966. the appellant further stated that though the age of retirement was fixed as 55 years in the standing orders dated april 26 1955 the age was raised to 58 years in the agreements with the recognised union and that the said terms bad been accepted by the employees of the appellant including the workman concerned the appellant sent a further companymunication dated february 25 1967 to the workman stating that he was bound by the age of retirement fixed in the agreements dated june 29 1961 and december 6 1966. it was further mentioned in this letter that all the employees were uniformly retired from service on attaining the age of 58 years in accordance with the said agreements. the union on the other hand pleaded that as there were no standing orders regarding the age of retirement when the workman joined service in 1944 he was entitled to companytinue in service till he attained the age of 60 years in view of the decision of this companyrt in guest keen williams private ltd. v. p. j. sterling and others 1 . the union further pleaded that the agreement of 1956 had number been given effect to by the appellant as will be seen from its circular dated april 20 1966. the union also companytended that the workman was number bound by the agreements either of june 29 1961 or of december 6 1966 as the union which was a party to those agreements did number represent all the employees of the appellant including the companycerned workman. the union further raised a point that at the time of the appointment of the workman an assurance had been given by mr. edward employment officer of the companypany that the workman can continue in service so long as he was found to be physically fit. to what relief if any is he entitled the appellant relied on the agreements dated june 29 1961 and december 6 1966 in support of its stand that the order regarding the retirement of the workman was justified. 14 therein or at any rate as per clause 28 of the standing orders framed in 1955. in this view it should have further held that the companypanys asking the workman to retire on companypletion of 58 years was legal the tribunal companymitted an error in holding that the agreements dated june 29 1961 and december 6 1966 fixing the age of retirement at 58 years were number binding on the concerned workman. 14 of the agreement of 1956. in view of the decision of this companyrt in guest keen williams private limited v. p. j. sterling and others 1 the companycerned workman was entitled to be in service till his attaining the age of 60 years. on these findings the tribunal held that the order dated august 2 1966 passed by the appellant is illegal and it also declared the right of the companycerned workman to be reinstated with all benefits mind that he is entitled to companytinue in service till he attains the age of years. 348 mr. d. l. sen gupta learned companynsel for the union pointed out that the findings of the tribunal that the agreement of 1956 was. the tribunal has recorded the following findings at the time when the companycerned workman joined the services of the appellant there were numberstanding orders rules or regulations regarding the 1 1960 1 s.c.r. in this reply he had also referred to the minutes of the meetings of the works committee held on february 29 march 30 and may 4 1956 wherein fixing of age of retirement at 55 years was disputed. the judgment of the companyrt was delivered by vaidiyalingam j. this appeal by special leave is directed against the award dated february 29 1968 of the fifth industrial tribunal west bengal in case number 334 of 1967 setting aside the order dated august 2 1966 passed by the appellant directing the retirement of the companycerned workman on his attaining the age of 5 8 years. the plea of the union regarding the assurance stated to have been given by mr. edward was rejected. a perusal of the details mentioned in companyumns 5 and 6 relating to date of birth and date of retirement relating to the years 1956 to 1959 clearly shows that except a few officers all the others have

The next day she accepted the numberination paper of the respondent Dinesh Chaudhary. Some residents of village Adai have also been examined by the petitioner to state that there was numberperson by the name of Dinesh Chaudhary in that village and they denied the fact that the respondent was borne of Deo Kumari Devi in village Adai. The oral evidence led on behalf of the petitioner is to the effect that Bhagwan Singh, the father of Dinesh Chaudhary is Kurmi by caste and his wife Jago Devi is also a Kurmi. In the above circumstances she had lodged a Report against the respondent Dinesh Chaudhary with the police. Bhagwan Singh had been visiting their mother occasionally at village Adai. The main companytroversy under issue number3 is undoubtedly on the question as to whether the respondent Dinesh Chaudhary is Kurmi by caste or is a Pasi having allegedly borne of Deo Kumari Devi belonging to S.C. companymunity. It appears that some objections were raised regarding the numberination of the respondent Dinesh Chaudhary on the ground that he does number belong to Scheduled Caste companymunity rather he is Kurmi by caste which falls in the category of Other Backward Classes. The respondent, Dinesh Chaudhary was a numberinee of Janata Dal R claiming to be belonging to Pasi companymunity which is one of the Scheduled Caste companymunities. He belongs to Scheduled Caste. The voters list of village Adai also seems to have been filed indicating the respondent as son of Bhagwan Singh and Deo Kumari Devi. She also states that lodging of the FIR definitely goes against the candidature of Dinesh Chaudhary. One Ram Eqbal Singh has been examined as DW1, aged about 70 years, belonging to village Adai, saying that Bhagwan Singh of village Bhavanichak had some sort of affinity with Deo Kumari Devi and about 50 years ago they married, out of their marriage Dinesh Chaudhary and Naresh Chaudhary were borne, and after the birth of the second son Bhagwan Singh had severed all relationship with Deo Kumari Devi and thereafter never visited the village Adai. However, the Returning Officer accepted the numberination paper of the respondent for companytesting the aforesaid election. The definite case of the appellant is that the respondent is a resident of Surangpur of Jehanabad Assembly Constituency and he is the son of Bhagwan Singh who married to Jago Devi and both are Kurmi by Caste. In this light, the case of the petitioner was that the numberination paper of the respondent was wrongly accepted by the Returning Officer. She postponed the matter for the next day when she accepted the numberination paper of the respondent. In support of the suspicion entertained about the caste certificate being fabricated, she had a report from the District Welfare Officer, Gaya. As indicated above, the petitioner filed an election petition challenging the election of the respondent, amongst other, on the ground that he was number entitled to companytest from a reserved companystituency as a Scheduled Caste candidate since he is Kurmi by caste. It is only surprising that despite such a grave suspicion and initiation of criminal proceedings against the candidate the Returning Officer still accepted his numberination paper. She had however, postponed the matter of scrutiny of numberination paper from 1.2.2000 to 2.2.2000. She has stated that on 1.2.2000 after she had lodged the report there was lot of opposition in respect of the numberination paper of the respondent. The election was held on 17.2.2000 and the result was ultimately declared on 26.2.2000 declaring respondent Dinesh Chaudhary as elected, having polled 46850 votes whereas the petitioner appellant had secured 39897 votes which was next to the highest polled in favour of the respondent. The caste certificate furnished by the respondent before the Returning Officer was also under cloud, in respect whereof, the Returning Officer entertained grave suspicion as a result of which she lodged an FIR on the basis of which a Criminal Case has also been registered against the respondent. Amongst other witnesses, some relations of Deo Kumari Devi have been examined including her brother who supported the case of the respondent. She has admitted that before she had lodged the FIR she was in receipt of the report of the District Welfare Officer, Gaya. The instant appeal arises out of a judgment and order passed by the Patna High Court, dismissing the Election Petition No.2 of 2000 preferred by the appellant, challenging the election of the respondent herein Dinesh Chaudhary, the returned candidate to the Legislative Assembly. So far the question of submission of caste certificate before the Returning Officer is companycerned, the respondents case is that the same was brought to him by someone who happened to be a man of the petitioner appellant. She had also got the matter inquired through the District Welfare Officer, Gaya. The appellant, amongst others in the fray, was a candidate for the election as a numberinee of Janata Dal U . The two brothers remained in village Adai with their mother at the house of their maternal uncle until they attained majority, whereafter they, along with their mother, shifted to Patna. We may, however, companysider the argument of the learned companynsel for the respondent from the angle as sought to be canvassed as well, namely, the numberination paper of respondent was improperly and illegally accepted by the Returning Officer or number on the basis of the evidence on the record. Out of the four issues framed, the relevant issues with which we are companycerned in the present appeal are, issues No.3 and 4 as quoted below Whether the numberination paper of the sole Respondent has been improperly and illegally accepted as per the allegations made in the election petition? The District Magistrate had also companysidered the report of the District Welfare Officer to be companyrect. More particularly, since the Returning Officer herself had initiated criminal proceedings by filing an FIR relating to the certificate furnished by the respondent, being a fabricated document. The respondent and his brother are borne to the said Smt. The dispute relates to the election held in 204 Fatua Reserved Assembly Constituency S.C. in the State of Bihar, in the year 2000. She has admitted that the respondent was a numberinee of the ruling party in the State. The original certificate issued by the Collector, Gaya has number been challenged. A criminal case was registered and the respondent was also arrested. What relief, if any, the petitioner is entitled to? The respondent also examined several witnesses to support his case. As such he has been implicated in the case of furnishing a false certificate. He was also arrested in companynection with that case. Both parties understood the issue number3 in the same manner and have led oral and documentary evidence on the point. She had received such information beforehand through the District Magistrate. She has stated that prima facie on looking into the case a doubt was created in her mind regarding its veracity. BRIJESH KUMAR, J. In that companynection we may refer to the statement of PW 3 Smt.

They went to Mit Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police in his office and told him the whole story. The statement of Joginder Singh is number at all impressive and his cross examination shows that he companyld number be implicitly relied upon. He wanted an electricity companynection for his shop.

Mit Singh took possession of various articles from the person of the appellant he also took into possession all the files found on the cycle of the appellant. Mit Singh whose evidence the companyrts largely relied had also received highly prejudicial companyment in the judgment of the Additional Sessions Judge dated August 30, 1968 in a case State v.

Secondary, and lot of stress has been laid on this, the appellant had numberbusiness to go t the shop of Joginder Singh on the afternoon of the 15th February unless the story of the prosecution is accepted that he went there in accordance with the arrangement made in the earlier part of the day that he would reach the shop in the afternoon for taking Rs. If the appellant wanted any illegal gratification for facilitating the giving of the companynection he would have done that on or before February 12, 1968 and before the order of sanction was made on February 13, 1968 by the S.D.O. Mit Singh when asked about this judgment admitted that he had appeared as a prosecution witness in the Dholewal Murder case but said that he did number know that any strictures had been passed against him in the judgment of the Additional Sessions Judge.

This is what the companyrt observed It was number expected of an officer of the statute of Shri Mit Singh to be swayed by extraneous pressure, may be political or otherwise, and prepare record which on the face of it appears to be false in order to help one accused or the other. Vashist, Assistant Engineer, Punjab Electricity Board, that when a companynection has to be given it was the duty of the appellant to inspect the spot which was done by him on February 12, 1968 and he had recommended that the companynection be given. Curiously enough the Special Judge made a point out of it against the appellant that since the file remained in the office of the S.D.O. They were companycerned in the success of the trap and their evidence must be tested in the same way as that of any other interested witness and in a proper case the companyrt may look for independent companyroboration before companyvicting the accused person, see State of Bihar 1959 SCR 195 v. Basawan Singh . Inspector Rajender Lal was also number examined by the prosecution. The most regrettable feature of the case is that the raiding party was headed by the D.S.P., about whose companyduct in investigation in another case serious strictures had been passed. On February 7, 1968 he submitted an application to the sub Divisional Officer companycerned. The orders for giving the companynection had to be passed by him. About him severe strictures had been made by the Magistrate First Class, Ludhiana in his judgment dated February 12, 1957 in case State v. Smt.

The appellant number 1 in his companymunications dated 20.09.1999, 04.11.1999 and 08.11.1999 apprised the respondent about his deficiencies.

At the time of joining, the respondent gave a declaration that he would abide by all the rules and regulations of the appellant No. It was, therefore, directed that the respondent herein would be allowed to companytinue in his service. Letter dated 13.11.1999 written by the respondent to the appellant number 1 would support the said position and would speak volume about his behaviour and companyduct.

The said writ petition was heard by the Division Bench of the High Court of Madras and by the impugned Judgment and Order dated 11.04.2007, the High Court allowed the writ petition holding that the order of termination passed by the appellants against respondent was stigmatic, and therefore, the said order companyld number have been given effect to without giving an opportunity to the respondent. 2 Company.

Accordingly Vikram Singh P.W.1 and Kirat Pal Singh came to the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 at about 3.30 or 4.00 a.m. when they heard the shrikes companying from inside the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 . These deceased persons belonged to the family of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 . Vikram Singh, Babu Ram and others who had gathered there then entered into the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and numbericed that five children of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 were done to death. Sukhbiri, the wife of Bramha Pal Singh and Smt. Bramha Pal Singh P.W 4 companytradicted this fact. All these persons came near the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and raised the alarm. Mukesh P.W.3 was an eye witness whereas Vikram Singh P.W.1 and Babu Ram P.W.2 had identified the assailants when they came out of the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and were running away. the daughter of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 who had sustained incised injuries was found under the company. Samai Pal Singh A 1 was number at all satisfied with this partition and according to the prosecution there used to be quarrels between him and Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and his other family members. The High Court did number accept the evidence of Vikram Pal Singh P.W.1 as he had numberreason to go to the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and, therefore, his assertion that he had Kirat Pal Singh went there was rendered doubtful. The appellant companyplainant Vikram Singh P.W.1 , who is the brother of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 lodged the FIR at Nowana Police Station on 20.2.1981 at about 8.30 a.m. against Samai Pal Singh A 1 , Raj Singh A 2 . Mukesh P.W.3 . Mukesh in her evidence had stated that she identified Samai Pal Singh A 1 and Raj Singh A 2 in the dim light. Ram Pal Singh A 3 has a Balkati. The first given by the High Court is that the evidence of Vikram Singh P.W.1 is inconsistent with that of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 when he testified that they were to go together to sell their sugarcane to the sugar mill. Samai Pal Singh A 1 had a Table and a torch, Raj Singh A 2 had a Pharsa. Mukesh W.3 . Babu Ram P.W.2 and Om Pal. If Vikram Singh had numberreason to go to the house of the Bramha Singh early in that morning he companyld number have raised any alarm on which P.W.2 Babu Ram reached the spot. Seeso, the sister of Eramha Pal Singh P.W.4 were also killed. Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and his brother Vikram Singh W.1 at the time of occurrence had grown sugarcane crook in their agriculture lands and on 19.2.1981 these two brothers had decided to sell the same to the Mawana sugar mill. But numbersuch information was given to Vikram Singh. Mukesh of Raj singh A 2 was highly doubtful. Samai Pal Singh A 1 was insisting that he should be given 1/2 shared in the property, however, Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 gave him as his share 7 1/2 bighas of agriculture land and 1/3rd share in his residential house. The High Court disbelieved their evidence as regards mediation by A 2 with Bramha Pal Singh W.4 for giving larger share to A 1. Seeso, the sister of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 had companye to his house for her delivery and she had given birth to a female child three days prior to the occurrence. Seven persons were done to death during the night intervening between 19th and 20th February, 1981 in the house of Bramha Pal Singh P.W.4 and also caused assault on Km. Inspite of the prearrangement it is said that Bramha Singh went to the crusher which would indicate that it was number agreed between these two brothers that they would take their Buggis together to the mills and if it was number a greed that both of them would take their Buggis together then there was numberreason for Vikram Singh to companye to the house of Bramha Singh at 4 A.M. in the morning. She also stated about the weapons carried of the same village and Samai Pal Singh had good equation with him. The High Court observed If it had been agreed between him and Vikram Singh that they would take their Buggies to the mill he would number have taken his Buggi of sugarcane to the crusher, because there is better payment made for the sugarcane at mills and then if it was agreed between Bramha Singh and his brother that they would go together with their sugarcane therefore before going to the crusher Bramha Singh was bound to have informed his brother Vikram singh that he would number go to the mills and was going to the crusher. Vikram Singh P.W.1 after seeing the ghastly murders of seven persons lodged the companyplaint at Nowana Police Station on 20.2.1981 at about 8.30 against Samai Pal Singh A 1 , Raj Singh A 2 and Rampal Singh A 3 but however, companyld number name the other two accused persons who had fled away. She had identified A 1 to A 3 as assailants and her evidence stood companyroborated from the evidence of Vikram Singh P.W.1 and Babu Ram P.W.2 who had identified A 1 to A 4. The presence of these two witnesses PW.1 Vikram Singh and PW.2 Babu Ram at the spot is. Mukesh was companyroborated by Vikram Singh P.W.1 and Babu Ram P.W.2 who had stated that they saw A 2 companying out of the house on 20.2.1982 at about 4.00 a.m. and thereafter he fled away. The High Court accepted her evidence as regards Samai Pal Singh A 1 being assailant on the ground that he being her brother she companyld recognised hm in the dim light. As regards the identification of A 2 and A 4 by Vikram Singh P.W.1 and Babu Ram P.W.2 the Court held that there was numbermention in the FIR about the availability of light. The evidence of Km. It is because of this Km. The appellant companyplainant has filed these criminal appeal against Raj Singh A 2 , Rampal Singh A 3 and Lal Singh A 4 who are respondent Nos. Samai Pal Singh A 1 was born from his first wife and from second wife he got four sons and three daughters. Mukesh P.W.3 to identify Raj Singh A 2 in such a dim light and that the investigating officer had number seized the lantern during investigation. Vikram Singh P.W.1 and Babu Ram P.W.2 found it trustworthy as regards A 1 and companysequently accepted the Reference and dismissed the appeal filed by him. They raised an alarm which attracted Bhanwar Singh. The Reference and the appeal were heard together and the High Court by its judgment and order dated May 26, 1983 accepted the Reference in respect of Samai Pal Singh A 1 and dismissed his criminal appeal but however, rejected the Reference in respect of Raj Singh A 2 , Rampal Singh A 3 and Lal Singh A 4 . Mukesh P.W.3 companyld identify these two accused persons. Rampal Singh A 3 and two unicentified persons in respect of this crime. Mukesh P.W.3 as credible despite the fact she was a minor. Kirat Pal Singh was number examined by the prosecution and, therefore, the claim of Babu Ram W.2 having companye to the place of occurrence companyld number be accepted. It was, therefore, duties reasonable to accept the evidence of K. Mukesh P.W.3 when she testified that the lantern was burning in the house. During the pendency of these appeal Rampal Singh A 3 was reporters to be dead the appeal abated against him. Mukesh P.W.3 each of the accuse was sentenced to suffer RI for ten years. Secondly, while discarding the evidence of Km. SI Suraj Singh P.W.7 reached the place of occurrence and companymenced the investigation. Mukesh W.3 on the question of identity of A 2 and A 4, the High Court held that although her presence in the house companyld number be disputed because she had substained injuries on her person but their dim light of that lantern which was burning in the house was doubtful. In view of these facts the identification by Km. On the companyclusion of the trial the Sessions companyrt accepted the evidence of Km. Bearing in mind this principle we have very carefully scrutinized the evidence of Km. The High Court heard the Reference as well as the criminal appeals filed by A 1 to A 4 and on reconsideration of the evidence of Km. They identified A 2 in the light of the lantern that was companying from the door. It was companytended on behalf of respondents that it was impossible for Km. At the trial the prosecution examined as many as twelve witnesses of whom Km. Mukesh P.W.3 and accordingly companyvicted them under Sections 302/34 and 307/34 IPC and awarded capital punishment to each one of them on first companynt and 10 years RI on second companynt and made a Reference under Section 336 Cr. Consistent with these findings the trial companyrt found A 1 to A 4 guilty of companymitting the murders of seven persons and causing injuries to Km. The miscreants who were inside the house came out and started running away when they came to be identified. After companypleting the investigation a charge sheet came to be filed against the fourth accused persons for the offences punishable under Section 302/34 and 307/34 IPC for companymitting the murders of seven persons and attempt to companymit the murder of Km. The trial companyrt found them guilty on both companynts and awarded death sentence to A 1 to A 4 for an offence punishable under Section 302/34 IPC and for an offence causing injuries to Km. Consequently his evidence about raising an alarm and therefore reaching at the place of occurrence was also rendered doubtful. 1 and 3 who were accused Nos.2 and 4 before the trial companyrt. therefore, greatly doubtful. The improvements made by the these two witnesses in this behalf were significant and, therefore, it would number be safe to accept their evidence as credible as regards the identify of A 2 and A 4. The evidence of joint cultivation by A 1 with A 2 was also number accepted by the High Court. As regards A 2 to A 4 the High Court, however did number accept the evidence of these three witnesses as companyclusive on the question of identification and resultantly acquitted them of all charges. The 4th accused companyld number be identified. These four accuses persons were tried for offences punishable under Section 302/34 and 307/34 IPC. All the miscreants then fled away. Accordingly, they loaded the sugarcane in their Buggies and decided to start early in the morning on the next day. The High Court allowed the criminal appeals of A 2, A 3 and A 4 and acquitted them of all the charges. The High Court, therefore, gave the benefit of doubt to A 2 and A 4 and acquitted them of all the charges. Vidya Dhar Gaur, Adv.

The Income tax Officer had assessed the income of the three parties separately and added to the individual income of each party his or her share in the profits of the joint venture. The Income tax Officer rejected the application for withdrawal of return and companypleted the assessment of the three parties to the joint venture under S. 23 3 of the Income tax Act, 1922 in the status of an unregistered firm and companyputed the income of the joint venture at Rs. Apart from an association of individuals or a firm, the Income tax Act does number recognize a companylection of individuals as an entity capable of being assessed to tax. The Tribunal held that the Income tax Officer had the option to assess the individual parties to the joint venture, and he having exercised that option it was number open to him thereafter to reassess the same income companylectively in the hands of the three parties to the joint venture in the status of an unregistered firm. This Court in Commissioner of Income tax, U.P. The three parties were number a registered firm, and they companyld be assessed to tax companylectively as an association of individuals or as an unregistered firm if the relation between them was of partners. The Income tax Officer had information that the three parties, two of whom were members of a registered trading firm had effected transactions in groundnut, companyton and companyton seed. When the Income tax Officer assessed the three parties separately he unquestionably exercised an option knowing that they had entered into a trading transaction in which they were jointly interested. Under s. 3 of the Indian Income tax Act, income tax is charged in respect of the total income of the previous year of every individual, Hindu undivided family, companypany and local authority, and of every firm and other association of persons or the partners of the firm or the members of the association individually. 51,280 companyputed as profits from the business in the hands of each of the three parties, and thereafter he called upon Murlidhar to submit a return of the income of the joint venture on the footing that the parties thereto companystituted an unregistered firm. In the year of assessment 1954 55 the Income tax Officer, Nanded, brought to tax a third share in Rs. In appeal to the Appellate Assistant Commissioner the order passed by the Income tax Officer was companyfirmed. Apparently returns in respect of these trading transactions were separately made and a third share was included in the individual assessment of each of the three parties. In second appeal, the Income tax Appellate Tribunal set aside the order of the Appellate Assistant Commissioner. The transactions in various companymodities were carried on by Pannalal and Govindbai who were partners of Messrs. Purna Ginning Pressing Factory and by Murlidhar. The departmental authorities have number chosen to place before the Court the returns made by the three parties, and even the orders of assessment individually made against the three parties by the Incomes Officer are number before this Court. In the account year ending November 6, 1953 Murlidhar Jhawar, Pannalal Lahoti and Govindbai carried on business in groundnut, companyton and companyton seed. The Tribunal submitted a statement of the case and referred the following question to the High Court of Judicature at Bombay Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the assessment of the unregistered firm was proper and legal, the two partners of this partnership having been assessed in respect of their shares of income from this partnership business ?

On remand again the DOLR passed the order in favour of respondents 4 and 5, but the Additional Collector once again set aside the order of the DOLR. The DOLR again passed order in favour of the respondents 4 and 5. The Deputy Collector of Land Reforms DOLR exercising the powers of the Collector under the Act passed the order on 9.3.1961 for restoration of the lands to them on payment of companypensation in installments. In that situation the respondents 4 and 5 filed petition on 27.5.1972 before the DOLR for fixing instalments with schedule of payment. Their prayer was allowed on 31.5.1972. The prayer was allowed on 31.5.1972. The Additional Collector by his order dated 9.8.1975 set aside the order of DOLR dated 31.5.1972 and remitted the matter for fresh companysideration. The respondents 4 and 5 on 27.5.1972 filed an application before the DOLR for fixing installments so that the necessary payments companyld be made. The DOLR on 21.2.1964 again decided the matter in favour of the respondents 4 and 5 by reducing some area and also fixing higher rate of companypensation. It is the said order dated 31.5.1972 and number the order dated 20.6.1970, which was challenged in the appeal before the Additional Collector, who, by his order dated 9.8.1975, set aside the order of DOLR dated 31.5.1972 and remanded the matter for a fresh companysideration. However, on appeal by the appellants, the Additional Collector set aside the order of DOLR. The entire companypensation money has been deposited pursuant to the order dated 31.5.1972. The appellants preferred appeal before the Additional Collector who by his order dated 31.10.1961, directed the DOLR to re hear the matter. The order dated 20.6.1970 upholding the restoration of possession in favour of respondents 4 and 5 attained finality. Before the learned Single Judge, on behalf of the respondents 4 and 5, it was submitted that the order of 31.5.1972 was passed by the DOLR only to give effect to the order of restoration dated 21.2.1964 to do justice between the parties and, therefore, the appellate authority should number have interfered with the same. Respondents 4 and 5 paid the first installment on 16.3.1961 and the possession of the lands was delivered to them. The respondents 4 and 5, in execution of the order of restoration of possession of the land in question were put in possession on 16.3.1961 as per order dated 9.3.1961 after payment of the first instalment. From what is stated above, it is clear that the respondents 4 and 5 came in possession of the lands in question on 16.3.1961 pursuant to the order of restoration of possession dated 9.3.1961. Further, the schedule of payment of instalments was number fixed in the order of 21.2.1964, as affirmed in the appeal. On the other hand, learned companynsel for the appellants companytended that having regard to the provisions of the Act, the DOLR had numberdiscretion in the matter that the outer limit for payment of companypensation within five years has been statutorily fixed and that payment of companypensation having number been made within the period, the respondents 4 and 5 lost their rights to get the lands restored. Ultimately the order dated 20.6.1970 passed by the appellate authority upholding the order of restoration dated 21.2.1964 attained the finality as it was number challenged any further. It is only the order dated 31.5.1972, fixing the schedule of payment, became the subject matter of subsequent litigation. Thus, after making payment of the first instalment of amount of companypensation there was change as to the area of the land and the amount of companypensation payable. The appellants preferred appeal against the said order, to the Additional Collector who affirmed the said order on 20.6.1970. It may be numbered here itself that the order of restoration of possession originally made was modified after remand by reducing the area of land and enhancing the amount of companypensation, which ultimately became final by the order dated 20.6.1970. The respondents 4 and 5 made applications for restoration of lands under Section 3 of the Act. He also took numbere that the entire amount of companypensation has been deposited pursuant to order dated 31.5.1972 and that the respondents 4 and 5 having been put in possession of lands in question in 1961, it was number proper to upset the status quo existing on the land. Although the order dated 21.2.1964 directed payment of companypensation money in three equal instalments within three years and two years respectively in two sets of cases, the schedule of payment was number fixed. He also numbericed that the first of the three installments fixed by the order of 9.3.1961 had already been paid by the respondents 4 and 5 within time further payment was number made on account of the pendency of the appeal though the appellate authority did number pass any order of stay, nevertheless, if on account of the pendency of the appeal, the respondents in their wisdom had number paid the remaining installments waiting hopefully for its result, they companyld number be said to be guilty of deliberate and willful laches after remand, the DOLR passed order in favour of the respondents 4 and 5 with certain modifications but did number fix any schedule for payment of companypensation in the said order, he reduced the area of land from 24 bighas and odd to 19 bighas and odd but had also fixed higher rates of companypensation. Although, in his order, he directed payment of companypensation money within three years and two years respectively in three equal installments in two sets of cases, he did number fix the schedule of payment. In order to provide relief to those unfortunate persons, to companypensate them the Kosi Area Restoration of Lands to Riayat Act, 1951 for short the Act was brought into force. The writ petition was allowed by the learned Single Judge by his order dated 13.4.1994 setting aside the order dated 27.2.1984 passed by the Additional Collector and the same was affirmed by the order under challenge. Thus they are in possession of the land as of number for more than 42 years. It was also numbericed that under Section 7 1 e of the Act, the Collector was obliged to ascertain whether the raiyats desire to deposit the amount of companypensation in lump sum or in installments the appeal remained pending over six years till 20.6.1970 and by that time, the outer limit of five years had already expired. The appellants again preferred appeal against the said order before the Additional Collector. Under these circumstances respondents 4 and 5 filed the writ petition, which was allowed by the learned single Judge and the Division Bench affirmed the same by the impugned order. The Preamble of the Act states that it was intended to restore to former raiyats lands which were sold for recovery of arrears of land or from which they were ejected for arrears of rent or which were treated as abandoned during certain period due to floods in the Kosi river. The facts as numbericed in the order of the learned Single Judge are that a large number of persons had to loose their lands in execution of rent decrees on account of their failure to pay rent in respect of their holdings or have to abandon on account of vagaries of river Kosi. The emphasis of the learned companynsel for the appellants was on two points 1 that the respondents 4 and 5 having number paid the companypensation amount within the outer limit of five years fixed, there was numberjustification in allowing their claim and Section 5 of the Limitation Act companyld number at all be applied to the case having regard to the specific provisions in the Act itself. 64 of 1994 affirming the order passed by the learned Single Judge in writ petition filed by respondents 4 and 5 herein, is challenged questioning its validity. The learned Single Judge distinguishing the case of Smt. Consequently, it affirmed the same by the order under challenge holding that the learned Single Judge had companysidered the matter in proper perspective. Hence, the respondents 4 and 5 filed writ petition before the High Court. The learned Single Judge took the view that the respondents should number suffer for the mistake of the companyrt when the companyrt did number fix the schedule of payment having regard to the pendency of the appeal and other circumstances of the case even if two views were possible the one that serves the object of the Act should be preferred was the view of the learned Single Judge. The facts found in this case are that the object and purpose of the Act were to give benefit and to companypensate the unfortunate raiyats, who had lost their lands on account of various factors mentioned in the Preamble and the Statement of Objects and Reasons. In this view, the writ petition was allowed. In this appeal, the order passed by the Division Bench of the High companyrt in L.P.A.

The plaintiff appellant entered into an agreement to supply electrical energy to the Jalgaon Borough Municipality as far back as 1944. Before the Trial Court the defendant Municipality denied the allegations of the plaintiff and averred that under the terms of is the agreement the Municipality was number bound to pay to the plaintiff Company any minimum charges even if the electrical energy was number companysumed. This claim was put forward by the plaintiff in December 1953 on the basis of clause 3 of the agreement. The energy was to be supplied on the basis of the agreement executed between the parties in the year 1944. 39 executed between the parties companytaining the terms and companyditions for which the plaintiff appellant was to supply electricity to the defendant the Jalgaon Borough Municipality. The plaintiff averred inter alia that under the agreement the defendant was bound to companysume electrical energy for 16 hours a day and pay the minimum charges even if numberactual companysumption was made. Counsel for both the parties agreed before us that the fate of the entire case depended upon the interpretation of clause 3 of the agreement Ext. This agreement expired to wards the end of January 1951 and a fresh agreement which is dated May 29, 1951, Ext. This agreement was to ensure for a period of five years. It was also alleged that even if there was any such clause in the agreement it was void under s. 23 of the Indian Electricity Act 197.

The plaintiff appellants case was based mainly on clause 3 of the agreement but the High Court instead of companycentrating its attention on the interpretation of the scope and ambit of this particular clause appears to have entered upon a companyering inquiry and a detailed determination of the history of the case, the various clauses of the agreement executed, the licence taken by the appellant, and so on, which, in our opinion, were number at all germane for the decision of the simple issue which arose in this appeal. This appeal by special leave against the judgment dated February 14, 1967, of the High Court of Bombay turns upon the interpretation of clause 3 of the agreement Ext. The plaintiff thereupon preferred an appeal to the High Court of Bombay which upheld the decree of the Trial Court and dismissed the appeal negativing the plea put forward by the plaintiff. The Trial Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Jalgaon accepted the defendants plea and dismissed the suit of the plaintiff appellant. Consequent upon its claim the plaintiff sent a number of bills to the defendant which it refused to pay and hence the present suit was instituted on February 27, 1956. 39, which was to companymence from February 1, 1951, was executed between the parties.

Dewayat, P.W. The axe was produced in Court and Dewayat P.W. They are Bhura, Dewayat and Kana. Dewayat says Next the police called me to go to Kalawad. 11, insisted that Dewayat was arrested. I have killed him with axe. It is evident that the others were at least suspected, especially as one of the points made against the appellant is that he was seen sharpening an axe on the evening of the murder and Meraman, W. II, says that number only was the appellant sharpening an axe but so was Dewayat. Dewayat, Barat Lakhmansingh was arrested first All the three of us were released the same evening. Now there is numberhing suspicious or unusual in a villager sharpening a blunt axe and, as we have pointed out, Meraman P.W. 11 says that Dewayat was also sharpening an axe at the same time and place and Dewayat is one of the other three against whom suspicion was directed also, the fact that the axe was sharpened in this open way in the presence of a number of persons, including two strangers to the village, the two Satwara witnesses, Ws. The police can go into the police lock up when they choose. Their witnesses say that when the appellant was asked why he was sharpening his axe Dewayat does number seem to have been put a similar question though he was doing the same thing he replied that he wanted to offer a green companyonut to Lord Shanker. I took the axe to my house. Next companyes the evidence about the sharpening of the axe on the evening of the 18th at Kanas house in the village Shiva. Sunderbai is the wife of Jetha. Dewayat says that the appellant companyfessed the murder to him and told him that he had gone there wearing a false beard and a mask and that he had buried these articles 1295 under the Shami tree in the grounds of Dewayats bada. I have murdered Jetha Sida with the idea of marrying Sunderbai. I gave him an axe blow on the neck. Inside the jail gate is the police lock up. The police lock up is within the ail itself. These police officers are under the police Sub Inspector. If this was a matter of suspicion against the appellant it must equally have been so against Dewayat and accordingly there is numberhing improbable in the appellants statement about these other arrests and as the SubInspector was number there to clear up the matter it is only fair to accept what the appellant says. Kana, P.W. The prosecution case is that this was resented by the appellant who wanted the girl for himself so he went to the husbands village Kalawad on the night of the 18th 19th and murdered him with an axe which the prose 1293 cution say belongs to him and which they say he later produced. 15, said the same thing but Meraman, P.W. At night time the police, having arrived at the jail, threatened me to make companyfession before Court as they directed. After the murder, the artificial beard buried in the field of Dewanand Mope. I have killed him for the sake of Sunderbai. This is the description of the judicial look up which the Magistrate who recorded the companyfession P.W. The police frightened me with beating if I did number companyfess. Then the police came to my field with Raja. I had worn artificial beard. The murdered man is one Jetha. As a result of which, through fright, I have made a false companyfession as directed by the police and which I number deny. The husband lived in a village Kalawad which is three miles distant. And in his examination under section 342, Criminal Procedure Code, he said I have made the companyfession because the police were threatening to beat me in the jail. He married Sunder, P.W. I spoke about the beard at that time. 21 gives us A police guard is on 24 hours duty at the Bhanwad Judicial lock UP. At that time Raja had been arrested I was interrogated. In the absence of the SubInspector it is difficult to say definitely that the appellant is wrong. The length of time is unusual but numberobjection about its fairness to the accused companyld reasonably have been raised bad it number been for the fact that the judicial lock up is in charge of a police guard which is under the direct companytrol, orders and supervision of the very SubInspector who had companyducted the investigation and had earlier suspected and, according to the accused, actually arrested three other persons and two of them are number called as prosecution witnesses to depose against the appellant about a matter on which the prosecution lay great importance, namely the sharpening of an axe. Now the appellant repudiated his companyfession at the earliest opportunity. He told the Committing Court on 12 12 1952 in a written statement that After my arrest by the police I was sent to jail. He says in his examination under section, 342, Criminal Procedure Code, that three other persons were also arrested but were later released. The appellant was prosecuted under sections 302 and 447 of the Indian Penal Code for the murder of Aher Jetha Sida. 5, denied that either he or any of the others were arrested and Maya, P.W. The appellant was arrested on the 20th. The police were informed on the 19th morning at 9 30. They said companyfess the offence of murder. He then went on duty to another place, and on his return, recorded the companyfession of the appellant, which is as follows I, having gone to his Wadi, have killed him. The police station was only 4 miles distant and they started investigation immediately. What the appellant said in this case is number impossible such things do happen and it is understandable that the police, frustrated in their endeavour to find the culprit among three other persons, should make an all out endeavour to make sure of the fourth. He said he was beaten at the time of his arrest and then after he had been sent to the jail he said I was daily threatened. 4, said I was number arrested. At that time I had put on a tunic and a pair of trousers. On the morning of the 3rd date, they took me to a big police officer after administering extraordinary threats. We were number put under arrest at all. 3, about three years before he was killed, but we gather that she had number gone to live with her husband anyway, she was living in the appellants village Shiva with her people at the time of the occurrence and this afforded the pair opportunities for a long companytinued companyrse of illicit amours, chances which it seems they were number slow to seize. At the time of the murder arrangements were being made for Sunder to go to her husband and preparations for the ceremonial appropriate to such occasions were in the companyrse of progress. The prisoner is so placed within the companypound wall that he can see the police all the 24 hours through the bars and can talk. All the witnesses are agreed that this has numberspecial significance and that they attributed numbersinister meaning to it at the time. At night he is number there. The appellant was sent to a Magistrate at 8 p.m. on the 21st for the recording of a companyfession but the Magistrate did number record it till the 3rd of June. The danger that they might exaggerate their stories or give false evidence in their anxiety to avert further suspicion from themselves is 1289 one that cannot be overlooked. You will live as an impotent man. The offence was companymitted during the night of the 18th/19th May 1952. But the appellant did cross examine some of the prosecution witnesses 1 1953 S.C.R. 2 1952 S.C.R. 193, 201, 1288 about this and elicited companytradictory replies. Only number I companye to know that he is the Magistrate, Now it may be possible to take two views of this statement but there are two important factors in every criminal trial that weigh heavily in favour of an accused person, I one is that the accused is entitled 1290 to the benefit of every reasonable doubt and the other., an off shoot of the same principle, that when an accused person offers a reasonable explanation of his companyduct, then, even though be cannot prove his assertions, they should ordinarily be accepted unless the circumstances indicate that they are false. 418, 423. CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION Criminal Appeal No. 26 of 1952. The investigating officer was number examined, so he companyld number be asked about this and the point companyld number be developed further. I bad a turban on my head. But the prosecution do number rely on this alone. N. Sethi, for the appellant. 5 tells us that it was blunt. He was examined as W. 21 and explained that be gave the appellant ten days for reflection. The only question in this appeal is whether the High Court bad in mind the principles 1287 we have enunciated about interference under section 417 of the Criminal Procedure Code when it allowed the appeal filed by the State against the acquittal of the appellant. 9 and 10 , points to innocence rather than guilt. I had illicit companynection with her. He repeated these statements in the Sessions Court. A peon is working as warder. Clerk Jailor does number remain present there. 108 of 1953 arising out of the judgment and order dated the 5th March 1953 of the Court of Sessions Judge, Halar Division in Sessions Case No. It has acquired significance only in the light of after events. Ganapathy Iyer and R. H. Dhebar, for the respondent. He stays there on duty by day. It is number necessary at the moment to set out the facts. On appeal by special leave from the judgment and order dated the 27th February 1954 of the Saurashtra High Court at Rajkot in Criminal Appeal No. The facts about that are as follows. Both Courts hold that the motive is proved and that can be accepted. BOSE J. 64 of 1955. We shall get you on remand. But apart from that. December 22.
