It is not disputed by the appellant that the deceased Hansa Kuwar was his wife.The prosecution case in brief is that on 13.11.2006 at about 10:00 in the night after hearing some clamour, Gopal Singh woke up, came out of the house and saw the appellant having sword in his hand and shouting that he has killed his wife.Neighbours Mokam Singh and Raghunath @ Chotelal also came out of their houses.They immediately called 2 Criminal Appeal No.1254/2007 Bahadur Singh, who also came and saw the appellant shouting at his door that he has killed his wife.He was having blood stained sword in his hand.He also set his house on fire.Bahadur called Salam Khan.They all pacified the appellant, took the sword from his hand and tied him with a pole and went inside the room and found dead body of the wife of the appellant lying on the floor.Her bed was burnt.Parents of the appellant were not in the village at that time, therefore, Bahadur sent Gopal and called uncle (elder brother of father of the appellant) Prahlad Singh, who asked Gopal to intimate the police.Gopal informed the police station Kurawar on telephone.His information was taken on record in Roznamcha Sanha.SHO Hitendra Rathore, who was on patrol, was informed on wireless.He directly rushed to the spot, where he found the appellant sitting amongst villagers and inside the house of the appellant, dead body of his wife was lying.There were several injuries on her body.Some burnt or semi burnt clothes were also lying there.Bahadur Singh narrated the incident before him.He (SHO Hitendra Rathore) deduced it as Dehati Nalishi Ex.Merg intimation Ex.P/19 was also recorded at the same time and spot map was also prepared.Panch witnesses were called and Panchnama Lash was prepared.Several articles like burnt/semi burnt clothes, plain as well as soil smeared with blood, bangles made by wax (Lakh), some pieces of Lakh, nylon shoes, hair of the deceased were also seized vide memo Ex.The appellant was arrested on the spot.His blood stained shirt was seized vide Ex.The appellant was intermittently becoming apprehensive and excited.DW 3 deposed that on 20-4-1992, he examined the appellant brought by his wife.There was a history of psychiatric illness in his father at the age of 65 years and in 1989 his father ran away from the house.People used to take advantage of his mental condition and cheat him.After marriage, his mental condition worsened.On examination, he was found suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.The patient had visual hallucinations (seeing images of wife and children).He was brought to hospital 25 times as above.The nature of delusions thus may change from persecutory to the grandiose type.He entertains delusions of grandeur, power and wealth, and generally conducts himself in a haughty and overbearing manner.The patient usually retains his memory and orientation and does not show signs of insanity, until the conversation is directed to the particular type of delusion from which he is suffering.When delusions affect his behaviour, he is often a source of danger to himself and to others.(Modi's Medical Jurisprudence and Toxicology, 22nd Edn.)Further, according to Modi, the cause of schizophrenia is still not known but heredity plays a part.The irritation and excitement are effects of illness.(Delivered on 11/07/2019) Per : Virender Singh, J. :The appellant is aggrieved by his conviction under section 302 of the IPC and sentence of life imprisonment along with fine of Rs.1,000/- with default stipulation recorded vide judgment dated 14.09.2007 by Additional Sessions Judge, Narsinghar District Rajgarh in Sessions Trial No.18/2007, therefore, he is before this Court.A sword kept near a platform (Chabutra), which was kept by the villagers after 3 Criminal Appeal No.1254/2007 taking it from the appellant, was also seized.On the basis of Dehati Nalishi crime No.330/2006 under section 302 of the IPC was registered.The dead body was sent for post-mortem, which revealed the death was due to the injuries caused to the deceased and that the death was homicidal in nature.After completing the investigation, the police filed charge-sheet.The accused is charged tried and convicted as stated in para no.1 above .The appellant has preferred this appeal on the grounds that the judgment of the learned trial Court is contrary to the law and facts available on record.The learned trial Court has committed error in appreciating the evidence of the prosecution and in relying upon the statements of interested witnesses and in discarding the defense version.The learned trial Court has committed error in not appreciating that no evidence regarding intention or motive was available on record, therefore, the appellant is entitled for acquittal.The fact that on the alleged date, time and place, Hansa Kunwar died due to fatal injuries and her death was homicidal in nature is not challenged by the appellant, therefore, we need not to discuss the evidence produced by the prosecution before the trial Court to establish this fact.Before the Trial Court, the prosecution has examined Bahadursingh (PW-1), Gopal S/o Dayaram (PW-2), Salam Khan (PW-3), Prahaladsingh (PW-4), Raghunathsingh @ Chhotelal (PW-5), Gopalsingh S/o Pratap Singh (PW-6), Sagir Khan (PW-7), Dilip Singh (PW-10) and Vishnu Prasad (PW-11).Though, out of these witnesses, some have turned 4 Criminal Appeal No.1254/2007 hostile or have not supported the case of the prosecution and some of them were little hesitant to reveal complete truth before the Court but sum and substantive of the statements of these witnesses or cumulative effect of the evidence given by them is that on the date of the incident the appellant was shouting outside the house that he has killed his wife and set the house ablazed.He was having blood stained sword in his hand.people gathered there and tried to pacify him.They exhorted him and when he calmed-down, they took the sword from his hand and tied him with a pole.They called his uncle (elder brother of father) and were waiting for him.In the meantime the appellant requested them to untied him assuring them that he will not flee.He was untied and set with the people present there calmly and quietly.After some time his uncle came, who advised to report the matter to the police and accordingly; the police was informed.The information was recorded as merg intimation (Ex.P/19).The police reached on the spot, deduced Dehati Nalishi (Ex.P/4), prepared memo of corpse (Ex.P/3), sent the dead body for postmortem and received the report (Ex.P/18), sketched spot map (Ex.P/5), seized the sword (Ex.P/6), seized plain and blood smudged soil (Ex.P/7), arrested the accused (Ex.P/1), seized several articles like burnt/semi burnt clothes, bangles made by wax (Lakh), some pieces of Lakh, nylon shoes, hair of the deceased (Ex.P/8), arrested the appellant and seized his blood stained shirt (Ex.P/12).On the basis of Dehati Nalishi FIR No.330/2006 under section 302 of the IPC was registered.The post-mortem revealed that the death was due to the injuries caused to the deceased and that the 5 Criminal Appeal No.1254/2007 death was homicidal in nature.To bolster his contention, the learned counsel referred particular parts of the statements of some of the prosecution witnesses.He also referred statements of witnesses examined in defence, namely, Rampalsingh (DW-1), Shivrajsingh (DW-Deposition of the defence witnesses are more or less the same.They have also stated that earlier the appellant was not normal rather he was insane.He used to do abnormal activities like jumping in the well, tarnishing his clothes, shouting abuses in public or doing such other abnormal activities, earlier also once he poured kerosene on his wife, he was suffering from Schizophrenia (Dr. S. K. Tandan (DW-4), but none of them have specifically stated that at the time of the incident he was unsound mind or was under treatment for insanity or some other such diseases or was doing some abnormal activities or was unable to understand pros and cons of his act.The law is well settled that exemption provided under Section 84 of the IPC is available only when it is established that at the time of the incident due to unsoundness of mind the appellant was unable to understand the nature or result of his act.Section 84, which provides the exception reads thus:-Act of a person of unsound mind.-- Nothing is an offence which is done by a person who, at the time of doing it, by reason of unsoundness of mind, is incapable of knowing the nature of the act, or that he is doing what is either wrong or contrary to law."In Shrikant Anandrao Bhosale v. State of Maharashtra, (2002) 7 SCC 748 : 2003 SCC (Cri) 144 at page 751 the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that:Criminal Appeal No.1254/2007On the other hand, learned counsel for the appellant to establish the plea of unsoundness of mind, drew our attention to the depositions of Dr Arun (DW 2) and Dr Pramod (DW 3).The case history and other proved medical record shows that the appellant was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.He was an indoor patient at a government hospital from 28-10-1993 to 5-11-1993 for getting treatment for the said ailment.He was examined by DW 3 on 20-4-1992 having visited the said doctor with his wife.He suffered from suspicious ideas, persecutory delusions, loss of sleep and excitement and was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic.The Division Bench of the High Court with reference to the conduct of the accused seen before the incident, has arrived at the conclusion that he was working on a plan on the day he was produced before the learned Magistrate on 31-7-Criminal Appeal No.1254/2007 2003, there were no signs of unsoundness of mind.

died.Between the period of marriage from 11.06.2004 to 26.09.2004, the deceased was subjected to cruelty and harassment by the accused by demanding dowry often.Initially a demand of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) was yielded by PW1/father of the deceased and thereafter, the second demand of Rs.30,000/- could not be met by him immediately.This led to continuous harassment of the

and saw the 1st appellant standing there.The deceased was taken to Hospital where she was declared dead.3.3.PW3, the son of PW1 and PW2 and brother of the deceased has stated about the marriage of his sister, constant demand of dowry made by the appellants and the death of the deceased by self-immolation.PW5 and PW6 are the house owners of the deceased.They heard the cry of the deceased, rushed to

the deceased has taken baptism confirmation as per Christian faith and the 1st appellant used to help DW1 during religious preaching.He further stated that the 1st appellant and the deceased were

marked Ex.D1 to Ex.D4, he attempted to save the deceased when she was on fire and thereby he sustained burn injuries, as could be seen from the Accident Register [Ex.D3].5.The appellants were charged for the offence under Sections 498(A), 7/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 the fateful day at the request of her mother/PW2, she went to her parents house to help her in shifting to a new house.The deceased left her parents house to serve dinner to the appellants.For this, the deceased parents scolded the deceased very badly, which triggered her to commit self- immolation.Only two hours prior to the occurrence, she came from her parents house.This appeal arises out of the conviction and sentence imposed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ponneri in S.C.No.165 of 2005, dated 18.12.2009, the appellants were tried for the offence punishable under Sections 498(A), 306 and 304B of IPC.On the complaint [Ex.P1] of PW1, PW13 registered a case in Crime No.226 of 2004 [Ex.P10] for the offence under Sections 498(A), 304B and 306 of IPC.On completion of the investigation, charge sheet was filed and committed and tried in S.C.No.165 of 2005 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ponneri.3.Before the trial Court, prosecution has examined 15 witnesses and marked 13 exhibits.She stayed with PW2 for sometime and left to her house.Within two hours, she was informed by PW5, the house owner of the deceased, about her daughter's 4/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 self-immolation.Since the death had occurred within 7 ½ years of the marriage, PW15 made a request to RDO for inquest and enquiry and forwarded F.I.R and other materials.6/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010A.No.288 of 2010 306 and 304B of IPC.On questioning under Section 313 Cr.P.C., appellants denied the charges.On appreciation of evidence, oral and documentary, the trial Court by Judgment dated 18.12.2009 in S.C.No.165 of 2005 convicted the appellants.Against which the present appeal.6.Heard the learned counsel for the appellants and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent.7.M/s.M.G.Udayashankar appearing on behalf of M/s.Edinbrough, learned counsel for the appellant would submit that the marriage between the 1st appellant and the deceased was held on 11.06.2004, which was a love marriage and hence the question of demand of dowry does not arise.Infact, the deceased had voluntarily adopted to Christianity faith and regularly attended the church.The 1st appellant never demanded any dowry and jewels.The deceased following Hindu religion got married with the 1st appellant by converting herself into Christianity, was not liked by her family members and she was not been treated properly by them after her marriage and conversion.This caused psychological effect on her and she was in a state of morse.Added to it on 8/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.At that time, the 1st appellant had gone to attend nature's call, the deceased had set fire on her own and the 1st appellant attempted to save her.Hence, the reason for her death is due to the attitude of her parents and not for any dowry demand.8.The learned counsel for the appellants would further submit that PW1 to PW4 are the family members of the deceased and they were unhappy since the deceased married the 1st appellant.Hence, the question of the 1st appellant's demand of dowry is the cause of her self-immolation is false.From 11.09.2004 to 26.09.2004, there was no dowry demand, harassment.Therefore, the reason and cause of death attributed against the appellants is false and motivated one.9.PW4 and PW5 are the house owners and PW11 is the neighbour of 9/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 the deceased.They have not spoken about any dowry demand or harassment made by the appellants.PW9 the Tahsildar conducted inquest on the deceased.His report as well as the statement of records have not been produced in this case.Further, the 1st appellant sustained burn injuries, while he attempted to save the deceased, which is an admitted fact.The appellants had probablized that there was no dowry demand and the relationship between the 1st appellant and the deceased was cordial.The attempt of saving the deceased by the 1st appellant and sustaining burn injuries would prove his conduct.The investigation has not been carried out independently.With a pre-conceived notion, the case has been worn around the appellants.Hence, he prayed for acquittal from all the charges against them.10.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the prosecution in this case has proved the charges against the appellants by examining PW1 to PW15 and marking Ex.P1 to Ex.PW1 to PW4 are the family members of the deceased.In a case of offence under Section 304B of IPC, the family members would be the right person to speak about the dowry demand and the harassment caused to her.The evidence of PW1 and PW2 are cogent and in conformity to each other as regards 10/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 dowry demand.Both witnesses have clearly stated about the initial dowry demand of Rs.50,000/- and thereafter within a short period another demand of Rs.30,000/-.On the fateful day just few hours before the self- immolation, the deceased had visited her parents.According to PW2, she was in a sober mood and cried about persistent demand and harassment and suffering at the hands of the 1st appellant and that is the reason for the deceased to take extreme step of self-immolation and for her death.All the witnesses in the case have supported the prosecution case.11.The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would further submit that PW9/Tahsildar conducted inquest on the body of the deceased and PW12/RDO conducted enquiry and marked his report Ex.P9 with a finding that the appellants have made dowry demand.PW10, the Postmortem Doctor has spoken about burn injuries sustained by the deceased and the cause of death is due to burn injuries.PW13, the Inspector of Police, who registered the complaint [Ex.P1] immediately forwarded the same to the Revenue officials.PW14 and PW15 have conducted the investigation and filed the charge sheet in this case.12.The trial Court on proper appreciation of evidences and materials 11/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 produced by both sides, had come to a finding that the prosecution had proved the charges and the evidence of defence witnesses are incomplete and improbable.DW1 admitted that the 1st appellant assisted him in religious works and he is an interested witness to the appellants.His evidence does not inspire confidence for the simple reason that Ex.D1 is dated 07.06.2004 before the marriage conducted by the parents.D2 is the letter, Ex.D4 is the diary, which are written by the deceased prior to the marriage.Only after the marriage, the harassment has been caused to the deceased.It could be seen from Ex.D3 that 14 percent of burn injuries has been sustained by the 1st appellant.13.Hence, the trial Court has rightly convicted the appellants.The trial Court findings needs no interference and the appeal to be dismissed.14.This Court considered the submissions made by either side perused the available materials and records.15.PW1 and PW2 are the parents of the deceased, who stated about 12/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 the dowry demand made by the 1st appellant.PW3 and PW4 are the brother and sister-in-law of the deceased who corroborated the same.PW5, PW6 and PW11 seen the deceased on fire and also attempted to drowse it.Further, PW5 and PW11 have also spoken about the presence of the 1st appellant in the scene of occurrence.PW10, Postmortem Doctor has proved the fact that the deceased died due to burn injuries.PW9 and PW12, the Revenue officials conducted inquest and enquiry and further the enquiry report of PW12 has been marked as Ex.On receipt of the complaint [Ex.P1] from PW1, PW13, registered F.I.R [Ex.P10] in Crime No.226 of 2004, immediately forwarded the same to revenue and higher officials.PW14 and PW15 are the investigating officers in this case.One thing is certain that the deceased died within three months of her marriage, which is a love marriage and it is an admitted fact that the death has occurred by self- immolation.16.It is admitted by PW1, PW2, PW5 and PW6 that from 11.09.2004 the 1st appellant and the deceased were living separately.There is no evidence to show that the 2nd appellant had any contact with the deceased soon before the death and was present in the scene of occurrence.Further, PW9/Tahsidar has conducted an inquest on the body of the deceased, 13/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 strangely there is no statement of witness in Ex.P9 report marked through PW12/RDO, though there is a finding that there was dowry demand without supporting materials.P9 is based on the inquest forwarded by the Tahsildar/PW9, Egmore-Nungambakkam Taluk, Chennai.The contention of the learned counsel for the appellants that there is no reason given on what basis such finding has been arrived.The enquiry report [Ex.P9] of PW12 is based on the report of Tahsildar-Nungambakkam Taluk, Chennai.The signature of the Tahsildar, Egmore-Nungambakkam Taluk, Chennai in Ex.Hence, PW9 is not a person, who conducted inquest and forwarded the report to PW12 cast cloud on the report.17.Further, the evidence of PW9 cannot be acted upon that PW9's evidence has been stopped in between at the request of the Public Prosecutor in the lower Court and his evidence is completed and no opportunity was given to test his evidence by cross-examination of the defense.Hence, the evidence of PW9 is of no use.The enquiry report/Ex.P9 is without supporting materials.18.In view of the irregularities and infirmities found in the enquiry report/Ex.P9, the appellants/A1 & A2 cannot be held guilty for dowry death under Section 304B IPC.Hence, both appellants are acquitted from the charge of 304B IPC.19.As regards the appellants' conviction and sentence under Section 498(A) of IPC, the lower Court convicted them for two years rigorous imprisonment, this Court confirms the conviction and sentence of 1st appellant/A1 and acquits the 2nd appellant/A2 by setting aside his conviction.20.As far as the 2nd appellant is concerned, it is admitted that he was living separately and had no contact with them soon before the death of the deceased and was not present in the scene of occurrence.Hence, he is acquitted from the offence of abetment to commit suicide and his conviction under Section 306 of IPC is set-aside.15/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 201021.As regard the 1st appellant, it is admitted that the 1st appellant and the deceased were living together after the marriage.From 11.09.2004 to 26.09.2004, they were living separately and the death had taken place in the matrimonial house.The explanation given by the 1st appellant that he was attending the nature call is not acceptable.PW5, PW6 as well as PW11 confirms the presence of the 1st appellant in the scene of occurrence.From the Accident Report [Ex.D3], it is seen that the burn injuries is only 14 percent which is on both ear lobe, nose and lips.Thus, the explanation that he attempted to save the deceased and sustained injuries is not acceptable.22.The death of the deceased has occurred inside the house of 1st appellant and on the materials, this court finds that the 1 st appellant abetted and he is the reason the self-immolation of the deceased.Hence, the 1st appellant is liable to be punished under Section 306 of IPC and the conviction of the trial Court is confirmed and the sentence of nine years is modified to five years.23.With the above said modifications and observations, this Criminal 16/18http://www.judis.nic.in Crl.A.No.288 of 2010 Appeal is Partly-Allowed.The Court below is directed to take appropriate steps to secure the 1st appellant to undergo his remaining period of sentence, if he is outside.25.09.2019 Speaking Order/Non-Speaking Order Internet : Yes/No Index : Yes/No vv2 To1.The

Chakraborty, learned Additional Sessions Judge, 5th Court, Midnapore.The learned Judge was pleased to sentence the appellant Debidas Rudra to undergo imprisonment for life and also to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, in default rigorous imprisonment for one year.The learned Judge was again pleased to sentence the other appellants namely Sena alias Soumendra Ray, Nupur alias Amitava Pattanayak and Topi alias Sarnendu Chowdhury to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 10 years each and also to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000/- each, in default rigorous imprisonment for one year.The fact of the case in brief is that on 28-8-1991 at about 7.30 p.m. Mahasweta Majhi a girl of 17/18 years along with Sk.Abu Taher went to 'Chowdhury Lodge' at Contai town and stayed there in a room.They recorded their particulars in the register of the lodge in different names.They took out Abu Taher and confined him in some other place.The appellants thereafter committed rape on the defacto-com-plainant, Mahasweta Majhi one after another.It is pointed out by him that from the very beginning the victim girl started hiding her name and the purpose of her going to the lodge in question and she also appeared to have used the different names at different places.Mr. Roy has further argued that the conduct of the accused persons as claimed by the victim girl is not in consonance with the natural human conduct inasmuch as, it is claimed, the accused persons allowed the victim girl to go away instead of keeping a close vigil on her movement immediately after the alleged occurrence of rape.Mr. Roy has heavily banked upon the statement of the victim girl as a witness before the trial Court that she had lodged complaint twice and that she was examined twice by the medical officer.It is further argued by Mr. Roy that the purported report of the examination of the victim girl for the first time had not been produced before the Court.Mr. Roy has pointed out that there was no mark of Siemens or blood on the bed-sheet and the saya (petty coat) was washed after the occurrence.Mr. Roy has further argued before us that from the evidence of the witnesses it appears that one Kayum and the other Minu Gharai are the best witnesses in the case, but Minu Gharai had not been examined by the prosecution and the evidence of Kayum is contradictory.It is further pointed out by Mr. Roy that there was delay in examination of the witnesses by the I.O. and such delay remain unexplained.Mr. Roy has referred to a number of case laws which we shall discuss at the appropriate point of time.Mr. S. Moitra, the learned Additional P. P. appearing on behalf of the State submits before us that the defence had hit the bush around in the cross-examination of the P. W. 1, the victim girl and except some suggestions there was no substantive evidence coming out from the P.W. 1 to help the defence in any way.In her examination-in-chief as the P.W. 1, the victim girl described the name of her male-mate as Abu Sheikh.As regards the incident of rape she stated that when they were taking preparation to retire to bed, the appellants started knocking the door of 'Chowdhury Lodge' disclosing that they had come from Police Station.Abu Sheikh opened the door and the appellants charged Abu Sheikh for lifting of a Hindu girl and thereafter demanded huge money from Abu Sheikh which was out of the capacity for him to pay.Abu Sheikh was then taken out of the room.The appellants started introducing themselves to the P.W. 1 when the appellant Nupur identified him as a doctor to have gone there to check the victim girl and the appellant Sena Roy introduced him as a Constable of Police while the appellant Topi introduced him as a Police Inspector.They also lied on body of myself.In the cross-examination of the victim girl her statement in the F.I.R. was confronted by the defence and it was stated by her that it was not written in the F.I.R. that Nupur Pattanaik asked the accused Rudrababu to complete the work quickly and he was giving guard at the room from outside.Some other statements of the victim girl in the F.I.R. had been Confronted in her cross-examination but those are not actually, in respect of rape to have been committed by the appellants Rudrababu.It appears that the victim girl had made her statement under Section 164 of Cr. P. C. before the learned Judicial Magistrate and her statement before the Magistrate had been confronted in her cross-examination.There is absolutely nothing in any form not even in the form of suggestion as to why she had falsely implicated the appellants/convicts.In her statement recorded by the Judicial Magistrate under Section 164, Cr. P. C. the victim girl described Abu Sheikh as her boy friend.She stated further that Rudrababu and Nupur were in the room while the two others were outside at the time of occurrence.She claimed that all the appellants drunk in the room and thereafter Rudrababu asked the others to go outside.It is also in her statement before the Magistrate that thereafter Rudrababu committed rape on her and soon thereafter the other three appellants entered there and committed rape on her one after another.Seikh Abu Taher is the P.W. 2 who was with the victim girl in 'Chowdhury lodge' on the fateful night of occurrence.He stated in his evidence that he along with Mahasweta Majhi went to the Chowdhury Lodge on the fateful night of the occurrence and after having taken their dinner they retired to the bed, but in the mid night some one started knocking the door from outside and he opened the door.He further stated that after opening the door he found Rudrababu who assaulted him and took him out of the room while Mahasweta was inside the room.He further stated that Sena and Pattanaik caught hold of him and started assaulting him.They introduced them as Barababu and Chotobabu.He also found Topi present there.It is also in his evidence that the accused appellants entered the room one by one where the victim girl was there.It appears from the cross-examination of the P.W. 2 that he was born and brought up in Contai town.The 'Chowdhury Lodge', it may be mentioned, was situated in Contai town.A suggestion was put to the P.W. 2 in his cross-examination that on the night of occurrence he did not meet the accused persons at all and also that he had deposed falsely against the accused persons under the pressure of the CPI(M).There is nothing coming out from the evidence of the P.W. 2 particularly in his cross-examination as to why the CPI(M) created pressure, as claimed by the defence, upon the P.W. 2 to depose falsely against the appellants.The P.W. 2 also appears to have given his statement before the learned Judicial Magistrate under Section 164 of Cr. P. C. It appears from the statement of the P.W. 2 recorded under Section 164 of Cr. P. C. that he had some affairs with Mahasweta Majhi.He stood to support his statement recorded under Section 164 of Cr. P. C. in his evidence recorded by the learned trial Judge and it was stated by him that the accused persons went to 'Chowdhury Lodge' in the mid night of the occurrence and after taking him out of the room Rudrababu and Nupur had entered the room.Cervix and uterus - healthy, no disease.The main point which had been seriously canvassed by the learned Senior Advocate for the appellant before us is as regards two medical reports on the examination of the victim girl.On our scrutiny it appears that the medical officer has explained the reason for making such reports twice and there appears absolutely nothing in the record that the medical report which has been placed and relied upon by the prosecution was in any way different from the earlier one.In fact, it has been clarified by the medical officer in his evidence that such medical reports were prepared within the difference of some minutes as because the case number had been written wrongly in the former medical report.It appears that after the occurrence the victim girl could anyhow manage to escape from the hotel leaving her belonging there and started running through the roads.On the way she met some persons who had come to her rescue.The learned Senior Advocate for the appellants has also raised questions as to why the bed-sheet of the hotel room does not contain any mark of blood or semens.

(2) Despite service of notice, the respondent has not chosen to appear and contest this appeal.Accordingly Ms. Nidhi, Advocate, has been appointed by the Supreme Court Legal Services Committee as amicus to contest the appeal on behalf of the respondent.(3) We have heard Ms. Swarupama Chaturvedi, learned counsel appearing for the appellant-State and Ms. Nidhi, learned amicus, and also perused the impugned judgment and theSignature Not Verified evidence/materials on record.Digitally signed byMAHABIR SINGHDate: 2018.09.0416:54:37 ISTReason:On 6 th March, 1993 at about 9.00 p.m. the prosecutrix (PW-1) along 2with her two sisters i.e. Hirkanbai (PW-3) and Anitabai hadgone outside the village to a field to attend nature’s call andwhile returning back the respondent-accused is alleged to haveforcibly taken the prosecutrix to the field and committed rapeon her.(5) Since the Moti Ram (PW-2) who is father of Hirkanbai (PW-The prosecutrix was medically examined on 9th March, 1993by Dr. U.S. Vasnik (PW-6), who has noted that the hymen ofprosecutrix was torn; swelling was present on the edges of tornhymen.Dr. U.S. Vasnik (PW-6) has opined that though vagina ofthe prosecutrix was admitted two fingers easily, theprosecutrix felt pain and the doctor (PW-6) has opined that theprosecutrix was subjected to sexual intercourse within 2-3 daysof examination.(6) Based upon the evidence of prosecutrix (PW-1) andMangrulal (PW-4) who went to the place of occurrence afterhaving been told by Anita and saw the accused running fromthere and also on the evidence of Dr. U.S. Vasnik (PW-6), thetrial court convicted the respondent-accused under Section 376I.P.C. and sentenced him to undergo imprisonment for a periodof seven years.(10) In the present case evidence of prosecutrix (PW-1) issupported by the medical evidence and also by the evidence ofMangrulal (PW-4) who saw the accused running away from thescene of occurrence.Insofar as the consent of the prosecutrix 4(PW-1) pointed out by the High Court is concerned, we find itdifficult to agree with the view taken by the High Court.Inher chief examination, Dr. U.S. Vasnik (PW-6) has stated thatthe age of the victim could be between 13 and 17 years.The trial court hasneither acted upon the evidence of Bhaulal (PW-8) nor on theschool certificate on the ground that the person who hasadmitted the prosecutrix in the school was not examined.(12) In our considered view, the approach of the trial courtwas not correct.In each and every case the prosecution cannotbe expected to examine the person who has admitted a student inthe school.The school registers are the authentic documentsbeing maintained in the official course, entitled to credenceof much weight unless proved otherwise.In our view,considering the evidence of head master, Bhaulal (PW-8), and 5the school certificate produced by him i.e. Ex.P/13-A, age ofthe victim has to be taken as 12 years at the time ofoccurrence.(13) Of course, Dr. U.S. Vasnik (PW-6) in her chief examinationhas stated that the age of the prosecutrix would be between 13and 17 years.At the most, adopting the doctor’s evidence, ageof the prosecutrix at the relevant point of time can only bearound 15 years.After medical examination of theprosecutrix (PW-1) on 9th March, 1993, F.I.R. was registered on10th March, 1993 and the delay in registration of the F.I.R. has 6been properly explained, which has not been considered by theHigh Court.(15) The impugned judgment of the High Court reversing theconviction of the respondent to acquittal, cannot be sustainedand the same is liable to be set aside and the judgment of thetrial court convicting the respondent under Section 376 I.P.C.is to be restored.The trial court has sentenced therespondent-accused to undergo imprisonment for a period ofseven years.

IN THE HIGH COURT AT CALCUTTA CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION APPELLATE SIDE Present:The Hon'ble Justice Shivakant Prasad C.R.A. No. 6 of 2016 Daya Shankar Shaw @ Lal Babu Shaw Vs.The prosecution case leading to this appeal in brief is that on 27.09.2013 when victim girl was returning from the toilet, Lal Babu Shaw son of Ghanashyam Shaw caught her forcefully and took her to a godown and raped her.According to the written complaint when she tried to oppose him she was beaten up and she received scratch marks on her body.P.W. 3, 4 and 6 are the neighbours.P.W. 8 is a witness of seizure list.It is alleged that a month ago, the accused had tried to rape her but she managed to escape.On the written complaint of the victim, Belgharia PS Case No.419 dated 27.09.2013 under Section 8 was registered and on completion of investigation, charge sheet under Section 376(2) of the Indian Penal Code and also under Sections 4/6/8 of the POCSO Act, 2012 against the accused-appellant was submitted.Thereafter, trial started with framing of charges under Section 376(2)(j)(n) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4/6 and 8 of the POCSO Act, 2012 to which the appellant abjured the guilt and claimed to be tried.The prosecution examined as many as 15 witnesses to bring home charges against the appellant.P.W. 1, 2 and 7 are the victim girl, mother of the victim and elder sister of the victim respectively.P.W. 9, P.W. 10 and 12 are the Doctors who examined the victim child.P.W. 13 is the Doctor who examined the accused to test his potency.P.W. 11 is the Judicial Magistrate who recorded the statement of the victim under Section 164 CrPC.P.W. 14 and 15 are the Sub-Inspector of Police and Investigating Officer.The prosecution also adduced in evidence some documents being Exhibits 1 to 16 before the trial Court to substantiate the charges levelled against the appellant.The accused-appellant was examined under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code to which he inclined to adduce defence evidence and examined one witness, D.W. 1, Jayanta Bain, Staff of Registry Office who proved the certified copy of the deed, Exhibit - C as the accused-appellant has taken the alibi that he was at the A.D.S.R., Cossipore, Dum Dum at the material point of time for execution and registration of the deed.Two photographs of the place near place of occurrence marked as material Exhibit-A and B to explain the place of occurrence.The appellant was further sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment to a term of seven years for the offence under Section 4 of the POCSO Act, 2012 and to pay fine of Rs.10,000/- in default to suffer simple imprisonment for six months with further direction that the fine realized be paid to the victim child and also directed that pre-trial detention undergone by the convict would be set off from the substantive period of sentence as per the provisions of Section 428 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.Being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the impugned judgment, the appellant has preferred this appeal, inter alia, on the grounds that the learned Judge, has illegally found the appellant guilty without proper appreciation of evidence on record.It is submitted that the P.W.1 victim in her First Information Report and her statement under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code made departure and are not in general agreement, therefore, the first information report not being corroborated by its maker.Yet, the learned Judge illegally arrived at a finding of guilt against the appellant on surmises and conjectures.It is contended that the victim girl was 18 years of age at the alleged date of occurrence.The place of occurrence has not been proved in the trial.The learned Judge ought to have discarded the versions of P.W. 6 and 7 as their evidence fall under the category of hearsay evidence.It is submitted that the prosecution witnesses suffers from gross contradictions and embellished statement rendering them unreliable.Lastly, it is submitted that the appellant while being examined under Section 313 of the Criminal Procedure Code took alibi that he was not at the place of occurrence at the alleged time and the date as he was all along present in the Registry Office at the ADSR, Cossipore and his alibi has been proved by evidence of D.W. upper division clerk of Registry Office.He produced the Registry Volume and the certified copy of the deed.It is submitted that a false case has been foisted against the appellant due to inimical relationship with the complainant and the accused appellant.Admittedly, the appellant has a shop room near the place of occurrence and the complaint party used to spread their cloths in front of the door of the shop room.For that, there was a quarrel between them.It is contended that the learned Trial Judge has not mentioned the specific time in the charge form as framed under Section 376(2) Clause (j) and (n) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4/6 and 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 as the charges with four heads would go to show that there is no mention of the time of occurrence.The occurrence alleged is on 27.09.2013 at 1 p.m. when the victim girl allegedly went to toilet near her house and while returning the appellant caught hold of her and took her to a godown which belongs to a person named, Md. Muslim and when she tried to shout the appellant put his hand forcibly on her mouth and then he raped her and also beaten her and inflicted scratch mark on her body.Mr. Debasis Kar, learned advocate appearing for the appellant submits that the F.I.R. does not find corroboration while the maker of the F.I.R., P.W. 1 who has otherwise stated on oath during examination that when she was going to relief herself to the Chhai maidan toilet of the jute mill the shop keeper held and dragged her to a room in the line quarter and thus the place of occurrence defers on evidence of victim girl.The place of occurrence, time of occurrence are not mentioned in the charge form, inimical relationship between the parties, major contradictions which appears in the evidence of victim as well as other witnesses of the prosecution and the alibi taken by the appellant create a doubt in the prosecution case entitling the appellant an order of acquittal.P.W. 1 has deposed in cross-examination that she was a student of Sri Babaji Sitaram School whereas the mother of the victim girl said that her daughter had no schooling.Admittedly, the victim girl has five sisters and one brother but none of them have been examined to corroborate the evidence of the victim girl.It is also contended that the I.O. should have taken steps for collection of certificate from the said school to ascertain her age.It is submitted that the place of occurrence has not been proved as Md. Muslim has not been examined to ascertain as to whether he has any quarter or any room at the place of occurrence.It is further pointed out that at the time of alleged occurrence the victim was putting on a white kamij and brown coloured salwar along with dupatta and her kamiz were stained with blood and were not washed, but, there is no F.S.L. report to prove presence of sperm or stain in the seized wearing apparel of the victim girl.One credible evidence outways the testimony of a number of other witnesses of indifferent character.The victim was sent to the Doctor on the day the information was reported and was examined by the Doctor and medical evidence supports the victim versions.She also collected the vaginal swab of the victim girl.The victim girl narrated so to this Doctor about rape on her by the appellant-accused.It is argued on behalf of the appellant that the nail mark was self inflicted to falsely implicate the appellant but such submission has no leg to stand as the conviction is not only based on the sole testimony of the victim girl but her testimony finds corroboration by medical evidence and also her statement earlier made before the Judicial Magistrate vide Exhibit-10 proved by Tshering Yangchen Lepcha, learned Judicial Magistrate, 2nd Court Barrackpore who recorded statement of the victim under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code which reflects that the victim was raped by the appellant.In the context above, in this case the testimony of the victim girl is not only corroborated by her mother and other witnesses but also by the medical evidence that the victim girl was raped by the appellant, the evidence that the victim aged 17+ years well corroborated by the other circumstances convincing the judicial mind, so the evidence of the victim cannot be discarded especially when she has sufficient understanding.PW15, Anupam Mondal, SI of Police, took up investigation and examined the witnesses including the victim girl and arranged for sending the victim girl for medical examination.He conducted raid and arrested the accused as named in the FIR.The I.O. has further deposed that the wearing apparels of the victim girl were seized but the same were not sent for forensic test since the clothes were already mixed up with mud and dust.This is the reason as to why the wearing apparels were not sent for FSL report.The I.O. has visited the place of occurrence as displayed in the sketch map.Now coming to the point of alibi, it is submitted that the accused-appellant has specifically answered to question no.30 during examination under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C., that he was present at the registry office at Cossipore, Dum Dum in between 12 noon to 6 p.m. on 27.09.2013 for registration of a shop room which he purchased and the case has been falsely filed against him.In respect of the alibi taken on behalf of the appellant, the learned Trial Judge has categorically observed that DW 1 had failed to establish conclusively that Daya Shankar Shaw @ Lal Babu Shaw, the appellant, was present at the registry office at that hour.No one has said that the appellant was present at the registry office at that hour.Accordingly, the learned Judge did not accept the contention advanced on behalf of the defence that the accused had to remain present in the ADSR, Cossipore, Dum Dum on 27.09.2013 throughout the day but such contention cannot be accepted because the process of registration of sale deed, he was not required to be present throughout the day, or during the period between 12.30 p.m. to 1 p.m. in the afternoon.He could have gone to the office some time later and put his signature on the deed.Apart from certified copy of deed (Ext.D) and the DW 1, no other evidence had been placed in Court even there were other purchasers in the deed being the brothers of the accused-appellant who were not examined in support of plea of alibi.I am of the view that the Trial Judge has rightly held that the alibi has not been proved satisfactorily.It has also been urged that in order to harass the accused, the victim girl has been set up and tutored to speak lies and no importance should be given to her deposition.

No.918/2001 Page 7 of 10 from the scooter when he received injuries with the knife.Then he went running to Aman Petrol Pump where he met PW-1 (Sunil Jaiswal) to whom he handed over 10,000/-.Then he went to Shivam Petrol Pump and police officials were called by giving information on telephone.The police officials came there and sent him to the hospital in three wheeler scooter.The MLC has been prepared with the alleged history of being stabbed by somebody around 10:30 PM.Although during his cross-examination the complainant has stated that he remained unconscious for 15 days but the medical record of the injured reveals that at the time of preparation of MLC he was conscious and oriented, gave the alleged history himself and when ASI Vikram Singh reached the hospital, PW-2 Vivek Kumar, the injured was declared 'fit for statement'.FIR has been registered on the basis of his statement.The appellant Vikram Singh has preferred the instant appeal assailing the judgment dated 23rd October, 2001 and order on sentence dated 29th October, 2001 whereby he has been convicted for committing the offence punishable under Section 394/34 IPC and 397 IPC and sentenced as under:(i) U/S 394/34 IPC : to undergo RI for seven years and to pay a fine of 1000/- and in default of payment of fine to undergo RI for three months.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 1 of 10Both the sentences awarded to the appellant were ordered to run concurrently with benefit of Section 428 Cr.P.C.Vide impugned judgment and order on sentence, co-accused Mohd. Yunis has also been convicted for committing the offence punishable under Section 394/34 IPC and sentenced in the same manner.Perusal of record reveals that vide order dated 30th March, 2017, this appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution.Thereafter the appellant Vikram Singh moved Crl.M.A. No.8993/2017 seeking restoration of the appeal which was allowed vide order dated 26th July, 2017 and the appeal was restored to its original number.During the hearing of this appeal bearing Crl.A. No.918/2001 filed by the appellant Vikram Singh, it was informed by learned APP for the State that co-convict Mohd.Yunis had also preferred an appeal bearing Crl.A. No.144/2002 challenging his conviction and sentence awarded to him for committing the offence punishable under Section 394/34 IPC and the said appeal bearing No.144/2002 was also dismissed for non-prosecution vide order dated 22nd October, 2007 but no application seeking restoration of the appeal was moved by convict Mohd. Yunis.Vide order dated 1st November, 2017, Registry was directed to place before the Court the judicial file of Crl.A.144/2002 preferred by co-convict Mohd.Fresh nominal roll of the appellant herein namely Vikram Singh and that of co-convict Mohd. Yunis was also called for.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 2 of 10On 6th November, 2017 judicial file of Crl.A. No.144/2002 preferred by co-convict Mohd. Yunis has been placed before this Court.Nominal roll of the co-convict has also been received.A.No.144/2002 reveals that the appeal was dismissed for non-prosecution vide order dated 22nd October, 2007 and thereafter the appellant did not move any application seeking restoration of the appeal.Fresh nominal roll of co-convict Mohd.Yunis has also been received which reveals that he has already undergone the sentence awarded to him in this case.Hence so far as Crl.A.144/2002 filed by co-convict Mohd.Yunis is concerned, which is lying dismissed for non-prosecution, neither the appellant Mohd. Yunis has appeared nor he seems to be interested in continuing with the appeal, on his release after undergoing the sentence awarded to him.Case file of Crl.A.No.144/2002 filed by co-convict Mohd. Yunis be returned to the Registry.The appellant Vikram Singh (Crl.A.No.918/2001) and co- convict Mohd. Yunis (appellant in Crl.A. No.144/2002) were sent to face trial for committing the offence under Section 392/394/34 IPC, 397 IPC and under Section 25/27 of the Arms Act in case FIR No.144/2000 registered at PS Mandawli.Since the LCR in this case has been misplaced in the Branch, for purpose of reconstruction of the LCR, learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the appellant have placed on record the copy of the report under Section 173 CrPC as well the copy of the memos and DD entries and submitted that authenticity of the copies placed on record is not disputed by them.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 3 of 10I have heard Mr.Yash Anand, learned counsel for the appellant as well as Mr.Kewal Singh Ahuja, learned APP for the State.In addition to oral submissions, written submissions have also been filed by learned counsel for the appellant Vikram Singh.Yash Anand, learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the appellant has been convicted for committing the offences punishable under Section 394/34 and 397 IPC but the injury received PW-2 Sh.Vivek Kumar - the complainant was caused by knife.He has stated before the Court that the knife was used by another person not produced before the Court.Hence, the appellant Vikram Singh could not have been convicted under Section 397 IPC which, in case of conviction, provides the minimum sentence of seven years.Learned counsel for the appellant has also submitted that the appellant Vikram Singh was got identified by the complainant at the police station, before producing him for Test Identification Parade (TIP).In that circumstance, he had good reason to refuse for TIP.In that case, the Court should not have drawn any adverse inference against him.The three-wheeler scooter No.DL1R3079 (number given in the FIR) along with two other persons connected with that scooter was shown to the injured Vivek Kumar (PW-2) but he did not identify either the TSR No.DL1R3079 or the two persons produced before him to be involved in the crime.There is no evidence on record to connect the appellant with second CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 4 of 10 TSR i.e. TSR No.DL1R2930 and that except the disclosure statement, there is neither any recovery from the appellant of the robbed amount nor the TSR No.DL1R2930 could be connected to the appellant Vikram Singh in any manner whatsoever.Hence, the impugned judgment and the order on sentence cannot be sustained.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 4 of 10Yash Anand, learned counsel for the appellant, on instructions, also submitted that the appellant had remained in custody for almost a period of about five years which can be ascertained from his nominal roll.He has no criminal antecedents and except this case, which pertains to the year 2000, during past 17 years till date, he is not involved in any criminal case.In the given circumstances, if the offence punishable under Section 397 IPC is held to be not proved against the appellant, the appellant does not wish to challenge his conviction for the offence punishable under Section 394/34 IPC.Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that a lenient view may be taken on the quantum of sentence.Kewal Singh Ahuja, learned APP for the State submitted that the learned Trial Court has given good reasons for convicting the appellant for offence punishable under Section 394/34 and Section 397 IPC.As per the statement of PW-2 Sh.Vivek Kumar - the complainant, injury was caused by the appellant Vikram Singh, hence he has been rightly convicted for offence punishable under Section 397 IPC and awarded the minimum sentence of seven years.On completion of the investigation, he produced both of them for TIP.The appellant Vikram Singh refused to take part in the TIP taking the plea that he had been shown to the witness.Since the main witness to prove the offence in this case is the complainant/injured i.e. PW-2 Sh.Vivek Kumar, learned Trial Court relied on his statement and convicted the appellant for the offence punishable under Section 394/34 and 397 IPC observing that an adverse inference has to be drawn against the appellant Vikram Singh on his refusal to take part in TIP.The police recorded his statement Ex.PW2/A. PW-2 Vivek Kumar after seeing both the accused persons stated that Mohd. Yunis was driving the scooter and Vikram Singh was seated in the scooter No.DL1R3079 and that the person having knife with him was not present in the Court.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 7 of 10The time of examination has been given as 1.5.2000 at 11:20 PM.Only two accused persons namely Vikram Singh and Mohd. Yunis were sent to face trial.The role attributed to the appellant Vikram Singh is that he took out 29,000/- from him and the person who caused knife injury was not present in the Court.The CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 8 of 10 role of Mohd. Yunis, the co-convict is that of TSR driver.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 8 of 10The prosecution has not led any evidence to connect the second TSR No.DL1R2930 with the appellant either in the capacity of driver or owner.It has come in the statement of IO ASI Vikram Singh (first IO) that he brought TSR No.DL1R3079 from Jamia Nagar with two persons but the complainant did not identify either the TSR or the persons brought by him to be involved in the occurrence.So far as the appellant Vikram Singh is concerned, no recovery has been affected from him.The stab injuries received by the complainant PW-2 Vivek Kumar was not caused by him and at the most it can be said that he robbed the complainant of 29,000/-.Thus, the conviction and sentence of imprisonment awarded under Section 397 IPC to the appellant Vikram Singh cannot be sustained for the reason that it can be awarded to the offender who used the deadly weapon or caused grievous hurt or attempted to cause death or grievous hurt.In the instant case, neither the TSR No.DL1R2930 could be connected by the prosecution with the appellant Vikram Singh nor the sword claimed to have been found therein has any connection with this occurrence.So far as the refusal of the appellant Vikram Singh to take part in TIP is concerned, PW-2 Sh.Vivek Kumar - the complainant has admitted that he was made to identify both the accused (Mohd. Yunis and Vikram Singh) at PS Anand Vihar after calling them from lock- up.If the appellant had already been shown to the witness in the lock- up, he had every reason to refuse to take part in TIP on the plea that he had already been shown to the witness.In the circumstances, it was CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 9 of 10 not proper for the learned Trial Court to draw adverse inference against him on his refusal to take part in TIP.CRL.A. No.918/2001 Page 9 of 10In view of the above discussion the conviction and the sentence awarded to the appellant Vikram Singh for committing the offence punishable under Section 397 IPC is set aside.As the appellant is not challenging his conviction under Section 394/34 IPC, his conviction for the said offence is maintained.Coming to the quantum of sentence, except the instant case, which was registered against him about 17 years ago, he has no other involvement.As per nominal roll, as on 18 th September, 2004, he has already undergone sentence of 3 years 11 months and 22 days and earned the remission of ten months and 26 days, meaning thereby that he has already undergone almost four years and eleven months in this case.Taking into consideration that the appellant has spent about four years and eleven months in custody, the substantive sentence awarded to him for committing the offence punishable under Section 394/34 IPC is reduced to the period already undergone in custody.The appeal stands allowed in above terms.Copy of this order be sent to the concerned Jail Superintendent for information.As prayed, copy of the order be given dasti to learned counsel for the parties.PRATIBHA RANI (JUDGE) NOVEMBER 10, 2017/'hkaur' CRL.A.

The Learned Counsel for the Appellant strenuously submits that the evidence of P.W.1 and P.W.2 are self contradictory in nature, but this prime fact was not taken into account by the trial court at the time of passing the impugned Judgment.Lastly, it is the contention of the Learned Counsel for the Appellant / A.1 that the trial court had not taken into account of the essential fact that the evidence of P.W.7 was not corroborated with the evidence of P.W.1 and P.W.6 as to the individual, who took the victim to the hospital.In response, the Learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the Respondent submits that the trial court in S.C.No.48 of 2013, on the side of the Respondent / Prosecution Witnesses P.W.1 to P.W.11 were examined and Exs.P.1 to P.6 were marked.25. P.W.4 in his evidence had stated that on 02.12.2011 he went to the Karunanithi Tailor Shop for receiving the stitched cloth at about 7.00 p.m. and when he was indulging in talking in the down below, he heard a noise and Karunanidhi went downwards and he also went to that place and he went and saw Narayanan in unconscious stage and when he saw from the top of the Karunanithi Tailor Shop, Narayanan was beaten by 4 or 5 persons he had not known their names and further that he could not identify them.Furthermore it is the evidence of P.W.4 that the injured P.W.2 was taken to hospital by P.W.1 and he had returned to his house and next day he was examined by the police.Significantly P.W.4 was also treated as hostile witness.26. P.W.5 in his evidence had stated that 10 months before when he went to Jayankondam in connection with his personal job and when he passed the place, Narayanan (P.W.2) was talking with Karunanithi, Raja, Samidurai's son, Senthil, Basker, Sathish and at that time, the Appellant informed P.W.2 (Narayanan) as to whether he had got the guts to give a petition and by so saying beat him and later (P.W.2) (Narayanan) was dashed against the wall by said Raja and Senthil (A.1 and A.2 respectively) and subsequently Sathish and Basker (A.4 and A.3 respectively) with the R.S.Pathy Wooden logs beat P.W.2 and later Ambulance arrived and that P.W.2 was taken by Karunanithi in the 108 Ambulance and these incidents took place in front of his eyes and next day he was enquired by the police and he informed them the same thing and the occurrence had taken place at 8.00 p.m.It is the evidence of P.W.5 (in cross examination) that immediately after the incident, he went to his house straight away and at that day he came in a cycle and from the place of occurrence the police station was situated on the eastern side at the distance of 100 meters and there were about 25 persons at the place of occurrence and he does not know any one except P.W.2 ((Narayanan) and Karunanidhi).28. P.W.6 (Doctor) in his evidence had deposed that personally he is serving as Assistant Doctor at the Jayankondam Government Hospital and on 02.12.2012 at about 9.30 p.m. in the night Narayanan aged 40 son of Rajamanickam, Mella Street, Mellur came for treatment before him based on his wife's brother Rajadurai's information, the said Narayanasamy was beaten with a hand by three unknown persons on 02.12.2012 about 8.00 p.m. near Jayamkondan, Annasalai and he examined P.W.2 and at that time he was conscious but he could not talk and he informed that he had a pain in his chest and also he informed that he had a headache and he was admitted as inpatient at Kumbakonam Sugam hospital for further treatment.Really speaking, P.W.6 (Doctor) who examined P.W.2 (Narayanasamy) had found the following simple injuries:-1. Pain over the chest (by shaking the head)2. Pain over the head.It transpires from Ex.P.2 discharge summary that P.W.2 was admitted on 03.12.2011 and the date of discharge was on 09.12.2011, the Inpatient Number was 33331 and the X ray taken on the Chest AP/PA showed no bony injury and the opinion tendered was 'simple'.It is the evidence of P.W.7 that on 02.11.2011 at Senkunthapuram he was talking along with Karunanidhi and Narayanan about the quarrel which took place and when they were talking to lodge a complaint in regard to the occurrence of quarrel at that time, the accused who were present came there to beat Narayanan and the said Narayanan was beaten by the accused, who were present and the four accused caught hold of the shirt of Narayanan who fell down and dashed him against a wall and later Narayanan fell down after becoming unconscious and later the four accused took R.S.Pathy from the floor and beat Narayanan and when they went to them, the four accused informed them, that if they come with a view to disperse they would finish them and the injured Narayanan was taken to Jayankondam Government Hospital by himself and Karunanidhi and since the treatment was not proper at the Government Hospital, for further treatment, they took Narayanan to Kumbakonam Sugam Hospital and that he was examined by the police.It is the clear cut evidence of P.W.7 (in his cross examination) that when the problem erupted at Malarkodi's house at that time he was not there and from the Malarkodi's house, the place of occurrence was at the distance of 2 Kms and that he came to the place of occurrence in a bike and within 10 minutes after the occurrence P.W.2, Narayanasamy was taken in a Ambulance and he along with Karunanithi went to the hospital in connection with the injured (P.W.2) and he informed the Doctor as to the place of the body in which the injured had sustained injury.32. P.W.7 had proceeded to state in his evidence that Narayanan is his uncle's son and that he was examined by the police at the hospital at 11.00 a.m.33. P.W.8 in his evidence had stated that the police came to his house situated near by the book shop on 13.12.2011 and asked him to affix his signature as evidence for happening of occurrence.The police had also prepared a map and his signature was found in Ex.P.3, observation mahazar and seizure mahazar was Ex.P.4 in relation to R.S.Pathy sticks (series 4) (M.O.1 series)The Appellant / A.1 has preferred the instant Criminal Appeal before this Court, as an aggrieved person, as against the Judgment dated 22.11.2013 in S.C.No.48 of 2013 passed by the Learned Principal Sessions Judge, Ariyalur.The Learned Sessions Judge, Ariyalur while passing the Impugned Judgment in S.C.No.48 of 2013 on 22.11.2013 at Paragraph No.27 had convicted the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 and sentenced them to pay a fine of Rs.500/- each under Section 294(b) of IPC, and in default of payment of fine, directed them to undergo one week Simple Imprisonment.Furthermore under modified Section of 323 of IPC, the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 were convicted and sentenced to pay fine of Rs.1,000/- each and in default of payment of fine, further directed them to undergo two weeks Simple Imprisonment.As a matter of fact, insofar as the Accused Nos.3 and 4 were concerned, they were convicted and sentenced to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each in terms of Section 324 of IPC, in default of payment of fine, they were directed to undergo two weeks Simple Imprisonment.However, in respect of the Charge No.1 namely, the offence under Section 294(b) of IPC (obscene language), A.3 was acquitted by the trial court.Assailing correctness, validity, legality of the Impugned Judgment dated 22.11.2013 in S.C.No.48 of 2013 passed by the Learned Principal Sessions Judge, Ariyalur, the Appellant / A.1 has focused the present Criminal Appeal before this Court basically contending that the trial court had miserably failed to appreciate an important fact that the contents of Ex.The Learned Counsel for the Appellant / A.1 urges before this Court that the trial court should have discarded the evidence of P.W.1 solely on the ground that the occurrence took place in the busy area and furthermore, except P.W.1 (maternal uncle of the victim), others were not examined by the Respondent / Prosecution.The Learned Counsel for the Appellant / A.1 projects an argument that the trial court ought to have been acquitted the Appellant / A.1, based on the evidence of P.W.6 (Doctor), who treated the victim and in fact the Doctor had deposed that the brother- in-law, Thangadurai had stated that the victim was assaulted by three unknown persons with hands at nearby Anna Statue, Jayankondam.Advancing his arguments, the Learned Counsel for the Appellant / A.1 contends that the trial court had not properly appreciated the evidence of P.W.6 (Doctor), who in his cross-examination had stated that the injury in the nature of contusion or abrasion might be caused if the victim was dashed against the walls and assaulted with 'wooden logs'.Besides the above, the Learned Counsel for the Appellant / A.1 proceeds to take a plea that the trial court had failed to consider that the fact of non examination of one Rajadurai, who according to P.W.6 (Doctor) brought P.W.2 to the hospital and narrated the occurrence to the Doctor at the time of admission for treatment and the same is very much fatal to the case of prosecution.It is represented on behalf of the Appellant / A.1 that the so called first occurrence took place in the building of Malarkodi, but the said Malarkodi was not examined by the Respondent.Also on the side of the prosecution, M.O.1 series (Four in Number  R.S.Pathy  sticks) were marked on the side of the Appellant / A.1 and on the accused side, no one witnesses were examined.However, Ex.D.1, a certified copy of FIR in Crime No.129 of 2012 of Jayankondam Police Station was marked.It is the stand of the Respondent / Prosecution that the trial court had looked into the entire gamut of oral and documentary evidence available on record and ultimately delivered the Judgment by punishing the Appellant / A.1 and others concerned and imposed necessary punishments.Furthermore, in respect of Charge No.1, under Section 294(b) of IPC, A.3 was acquitted by the trial court and in short, the Judgment of the trial court is free from any flaw.For a better and fuller appreciation of the entire gamut of the main case in S.C.No.48 of 2013 on the file of trial court, at this stage, it is useful for this Court to refer to the evidence of the prosecution witnesses.16.It is the evidence of P.W.1 that on 2.12.2011 when he was in the tailor shop situated at Bazaar street, Jayankondam at about 8.00 p.m.,and that his sister's son Narayanan is running a tailor shop at Sengunthapuram and one Malarkodi is the shop owner and that there was a previous enmity between the said shop owner Malarkodi and the Appellant / A.1 (Raja) and in this regard the case was pending before Jayankondam Court.It is the further evidence of P.W.1 that on 02.12.2011 at about 7.00 p.m., the Appellant (A.1) and along with four other persons had tress-passed into the house of aforesaid Malarkodi and beaten and at that time, his sister's son Narayanan, (after taking bath) came to the shop and when the said Narayanan, who went there to pacify and disperse them, was beaten by the Appellant (A.1) and others and they uttered that whether you are supporting Mudhaliar and by so saying beat him (Narayanan) and also removed the bead (malai) which he had worn around his neck and also they ransacked the articles which were available in the shop.Further, the Narayanasamy and Sivasamy came to his shop and they apprised P.W.1 and took him to the police station for lodging complaint and at that time he was purchasing articles required in connection with stitching from the eastern portion of his shop and at that time when P.W.1 who received the papers and was about to write a complaint, the accused (who were present) came in bikes and they attacked Narayanan near his shop and Senthil (A.2) by holding the body of Narayanasamy dashed his head against the wall and Narayanasamy sat down and they dispersed the quarrel by asking the people to move out from that place and that the persons had assembled and after seeing the crowd, the accused persons threatened by saying if intervention was made in their acts, then the same fate would follow.19.P.W.1 in his evidence proceeds to add that already the said Narayanasamy, who sat after (falling down) was kicked by Raja with his leg and Basker and Senthil (A.3 and A.2 respectively) brought the R.S.pathy sticks from the hotel and beaten Narayanan.Continuing further, the Accused, Basker (A.3) raised a sound when he dashed head of Narayanasamy against the wall and uttered now you are finished and because of the incident, the injured, Narayanasamy came to the level of unconscious stage and some one from the crowd phoned up to 108 Ambulance which came to the spot and the said injured, Narayansamy was taken to the Jayankondan Government Hospital for treatment and he was admitted, by then, since the said Narayanasamy was lying in that Jayankondam Government Hospital without any consciousness, an advise was tendered to take him to Tanjavur and he (P.W.1) took him to Kumbakonam Sugam Hospital wherein he was admitted as inpatient and on the next day, he lodged a complaint Ex.P.1 before the Jayamkondam Police Station.20. P.W.1 (in his cross-examination) had deposed that immediately after the occurrence 108 Ambulance came to the spot and in the Ambulance, he along with Sivasamy took Narayanasamy to the hospital and at that time of occurrence, in the occurrence place, nearly 100 people had assembled and further he had also proceeded to state in his evidence that the police station was situated at a approximate place of 350 feet from the place of occurrence.P.W.1 also (in his cross-examination) had candidly stated that on either side of the occurrence place there are shops and the movement of people will be on higher side and immediately after the occurrence he had not informed the police.21. P.W.2 (Narayanasamy  Injured / Victim) in his evidence had deposed that on 02.12.2011 when he was in the tailor shop situated in a place belonging to Malarkodi at Sengunthapuram main road, the Appellant / A.1 and together with him 2, 3 persons went to the house of Malarkodi and thereafter there was a heavy noise and he went and saw, at that time, Malarkodi raised a cry by saying help help and he asked the Appellant / A.1 as to what was happening and he dispersed the quarrel and at that time, the Appellant uttered prostitute's son and by so saying beaten him and since at that time he was wearing the bead (Malai) he got palpitation and the Appellant had broken the tube light which was there and also took the cutting player and by so dashing, scolded him (P.W.1) by asking him (P.W.2) to come out immediately took the vehicle and went to the shop of P.W.1 to lodge a complaint.Moreover, he narrated the incident to his uncle, who was standing down below and at that time accused Sathish (A.4) scolded in obscene language by stating that Narayanan is standing and later Raja and Senthil also spoke in vulgar / obscene language and further suddenly Raja (A.No.1) caught hold of him and pushed him down and he made an enquiry with Senthil as to why they were beating him, and as he informed that he when he beat him he would give a complaint, at that time, Raja by uttering the words 'kuchikari son' beat him and the said Raja (A.1) and Senthil (A.2) beat him with the aid of R.S.Pathy Sticks and when he resisted and enquired about the same with them he was lifted and near the book shop of victory they dashed him against the wall and he fell down and since he lost his conscious he had not known as to what had happened to him and when he regained his consciousness he came to know that he was admitted at the Kumbakonam Sugam Hospital and P.W.1 in connection with the incident had given a complaint before the police and he took treatment at the said Sugam Hospital for nearly 7 days and got discharged and he was subsequently advised to see Psychiatrist Doctor and based on that he took treatment at Kumbakonam Vijaya Hospital and that he was enquired by the police.P.W.2 (in his cross-examination) had clearly deposed that he was enquired by the police at Sugam Hospital at one time and that the police station is situated at a distance of 100 feet from the place of occurrence and from the place of occurrence, if one goes to Government hospital it will take 15 minutes and the Government hospital was situated at a distance of 1 1/2 or 2 kilometers from the place of occurrence.24. P.W.3 in his evidence had stated he does not know anything about the police incident and that he was not examined by the police.In fact P.W.3 was treated as an hostile witness.34. P.W.8 in his cross examination had also stated that M.O.1, four sticks were shown to him and he affixed his signature in two papers in out of portion of his house.P.W.9 in his evidence had stated that personally he was working as Special Assistant Inspector, Jayankondam Police Station on 03.12.2011, Karunanithi son of Manickam, Senkunthapuram came to the police station and he received the said complaint from him and registered a case in police station Crime No.366 of 2011 under Sections 294(b), 307, 323, 324, 355 and 506(ii) of IPC and that Ex.P.5 is the printed copy of FIR registered by him.Further, he handed over the case file for the purpose of further investigation to the Inspector of Police and concerned higher officials.P.W.10, served as in-charge Inspector of Jayankondam Police Station in his evidence had stated that after taking up the investigation, he visited the scene of occurrence, examination witnesses, Ayyappan, Govarthan and in their presence prepared observation mahajar, rough plan and also received statement from Karunanidhi, Narayanasamy, Ramachandran and Rajendran from the occurrence place and recorded the same.Later he seized R.S.Pathy sticks four in numbers (3 = feet length) under Mahajar which was identified by complainant Karunanithi at the place of occurrence and later he arrested the accused Satish (A.4) at Suriya sand bus stop on 04.12.2011 and brought him to the police station and sent him for judicial custody.P.5 was a rough plan prepared by him and also proceeded to state that P.W.3 and 4 had given statement at the time of his enquiry and later on had given a contradictory evidence.As far as the present case is concerned, so far as the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 and A.3 are concerned, the first charge that levelled against him before the trial court was that they had used vulgar / obscene language as against the victim at the time of commission of occurrence.A perusal of contents of Ex.P.1, First Information Report indicates latently and patently that the obscene language was employed at the time of occurrence by P.W.1 and P.W.2 and in fact P.W.2, injured Narayansamy had clearly stated that the Appellant (Raja) had scolded him as son of prostitute and subsequently the Appellant / A.1 (Raja) and the 2nd Accused, Senthil used abusive filthy and foul language and attacked him.In fact, the evidence of P.W.2 (Narayanasamy, injured / victim) is a cogent, coherent, trust worthy one in the considered opinion of this Court.In this connection, it is to be borne in mind that the Appellant / A.1 alone had preferred the instant Criminal Appeal and hence this Court confines only with him and not further stating anything about other accused.In so far as the Charge No.2 is concerned under Section 307 of IPC attempt to murder levelled against the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 to the effect that the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 holding the head of P.W.2, Narayanasamy dashed his head over or against wall.It is to be relevantly pointed out that P.W.1 (Karunanithi / complainant) in his evidence had stated that by then, the accused came in bikes and attacked Naraynanasamy, Senthil held the body of Narayanasamy and dashed his head against the wall.Narayanasamy had fell down and they intervened and pacify them and then crowd thronged there and accused seeing the thronging crowd uttered that if any one pocks their nose in their affairs this would be the result and left the place.As a matter of fact, the Appellant / A.1 had kicked Narayanasamy (P.W.2 injured / victim) Baskar and Senthil (A.3 and A.2) took out R.S.pathy sticks / logs from the near by shop and struck him with its assistance and when Baskar (A.3) dashed head of Narayanasamy, (P.W.2) he shouted to the effect that 'with this he is finished'.Moreover Narayanasamy, P.W.2 was lying in unconscious stage and some one in the crowd telephoned the 108 Ambulance, which rushed to the spot.It is the evidence of P.W.2 (injured) that accused came there and Sathish (A.4) pointed out him to other accused and that Senthil (A.2) used filthy language and attacked him.In fact the Appellant / A.1 Raja pushed him back and abused in vulgar language and attacked him.Thereafter the Appellant/Raja/A.1 and A.2, Senthil attacked with R.S.Pathy with wooden logs and when he challenged the same, accused simply lifted and dashed him against the wall and fell in unconscious.After regaining conscious he found himself in the Subam hospital at Kumbakonam.The evidence of P.W.2 in the present case was corroborated by P.W.5 who had stated that 19 months while he was crossing place of occurrence he found that Narayanan was talking with Raja (A.1) Senthil (A.2) Basker (A.3) and Sathish (A.4) and by then, Appellant / A.1 Raja attacked P.W.2 challenging as to whether he had enough courage to lodge a complaint against him.Subsequently, the Appellant / A.1 and Senthil/A.2 held P.W.2 and spoke vulgar / obscene language and dashed him against the wall.In fact A.4, Sathish and Basker(A.3) gave a blow with R.S.Pathy wooden logs to P.W.2 and after the happening of occurrence P.W.2 was carried to the hospital in 108 Ambulance.From the evidence of P.W.1 and P.W.2 as coupled with the evidence of corroborative evidence of P.W.5, it is candidly clear that the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 had caught hold of P.W.2 dashed his head over the wall.But in the instant case, no external injury was caused to P.W.2 and in this regard, the evidence of P.W.6 Doctor assumes significance.At the risk of repetition P.W.6, Doctor had stated in his evidence that there were no injuries but had deposed that P.W.2 was admitted as inpatient and P.W.2 complained chest and head pain through signal and he referred to Subam Hospital, Kumbakonam and discharged from the hospital (Ex.P.2).In fact the act of the Appellant / A.1 and A.2 in hitting the head of P.W.2 (victim) over the wall and causing simple injuries to him would certainly attract the ingredients of Section 323 of IPC and viewed in that perspective, the act of causing simple injuries by the Appellant / A.1 clearly comes within the domain of Sections 323 of Indian Penal Code and he was rightly found guilty by the trial court, in the considered opinion of this Court.Since the Charge No.3 under Section 324 of IPC against A.3 and A.4 and Charge No.4 against A.3 and A.4 in respect of an offence under Section 506(ii) of IPC were not related to the Appellant / Accused No.1, this Court is not traversing upon the same in the present Appeal.In the case evidence on record established, that the appellant was one of the purpotaters / miscreants and he took part in the attack / assault of the victim / complainant as the case may be.In fact in a given case, the Appellant's act ought to be a one not covered in terms of ingredients of Section 324 of IPC.Like wise it found the Appellant guilty in respect of offence under Section 323 of IPC and imposed fine of Rs.1,000/-In so far as the imposition of fine of Rs.500/- and fine of Rs.1,000/- in respect of an offence under Sections 294(b) and 323 of IPC, in respect of the same, in the considered opinion of this Court, is slightly on the higher side.Therefore, this Court, exercising its Judicial discretion while upholding the judgment of the trial court in finding the Appellant / A.1 guilty in respect of offence under Sections 294(b) and 323 of IPC reduces the fine of Rs.500/- in respect of offence under Section 294(b) of IPC to that of Rs.250/- and in respect of offence under Section 323 of IPC, the fine is reduced by this Court from Rs.1,000/- to Rs.500/-, which in the considered opinion would meet the ends of justice, (of course based on the facts and circumstances which float on the surface).Consequently, the Appeal succeeds in part.In fine the Criminal Appeal is allowed in part stated in above terms.In this regard, the Appellant / A.1 is at liberty to file necessary Criminal Miscellaneous Petition for payment out.If an Application / Petition is filed by the Appellant / A.1 before the trial court (As per Criminal Rules of Practice) for refund of the excess fine amount paid, then, the trial court shall dispose of the said Miscellaneous Petition within a period of one week thereafter.17.10.2016Index: Yes/NoInternet: Yes/NossdM.VENUGOPAL,J.,ssdToThe Principal Sessions Judge, Ariyalur.State rep.By The

The prosecution's case in short is that, on 30.6.1987 at about 6:00 p.m. in the evening, Nanda Bai expired.It is alleged that she committed suicide by setting herself on fire.(Delivered on 7th day of September, 2012) The appellant/State has preferred this appeal against the judgment dated 2nd February 1996 passed by the 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur in S.T. No.316/89, whereby the respondents were acquitted from the charges of offences punishable under Sections 306/34 of IPC.On 22.7.1987, Jamna Prasad (PW-3) father of the deceased had given a letter Ex.P/1 to S.P. Jabalpur 2 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997 that the death of the his daughter Nanda be considered as homicidal and proper investigation be done accordingly.Thereafter, nothing was found against the respondents.In the February 1989, Jamna Prasad (PW-3) and his family members gave the statements against the respondents about harassment and torture relating to the dowry demand etc. and also on so many counts, therefore, a case was registered.After due investigation, a charge sheet was filed before the C.J.M. Jabalpur, who committed the case to the Sessions Court and ultimately, it was transferred to the 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur.The respondents abjured their guilt.They did not take any specific plea but they have stated that they were falsely implicated in the matter.Jamna Prasad was an Ex-MLA and a renowned advocate of Vidisha District and therefore, he had falsely implicated the respondents in the case.In defence, one Dr. J.C. Wadera (DW-1) was examined to show that the respondents were keeping the deceased with comfort.After considering the evidence adduced by both the parties, the learned 4th Additional Sessions Judge, Jabalpur acquitted the respondents from the charges of the offences punishable under Sections 306/34 of IPC.During pendency of this appeal, the respondent No.1 expired and therefore, the present appeal remains against the respondent No.2 only.3 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997I have heard the learned counsel for the parties.In alternate, he can be convicted for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of IPC also and sentenced him accordingly.On the other hand, the learned counsel for the respondent No.2 has submitted that soon after the death of the deceased Nanda, no allegation was made by her father.After keeping silence for 3-4 weeks, a letter Ex.Thereafter, father and relatives of the deceased Nanda had kept silence for two years and thereafter, they gave the statements after two years.There is no reason as to why they kept silence for two years.Under such circumstances, it would be clear that a concocted case was created against the respondent No.2 after two years of death of the deceased.It is also submitted that it is not proved beyond doubt that the death of the deceased was of suicidal nature, whereas it could be an accident and therefore, the respondent No.2 cannot be convicted for the offence punishable under Section 306 of IPC.Learned counsel for the respondent No.2 has submitted on the basis of evidence given by Dr. B.M. Shrivastava (PW-8) that there was no smell of kerosene found on the body of the deceased and therefore, it is submitted that death of the deceased Nanda was an accident.However, in this connection if merg report Ex.P/22 is perused then, it would be apparent that father of the respondent No.2 had lodged a report that when he went back to his house, he found that his house was giving a smell of kerosene and in the adjacent room of the kitchen, someone was found burnt and a cane of kerosene was present in the kitchen with a burnt Sadi.Looking to the merg intimation Ex.P/22, it is apparent that it is not a case of accident but the deceased Nanda had committed suicide.The prosecution had examined Shakuntala Chourasiya (PW-1), Sudhir Kumar (PW-2), Jamna Prasad (PW-3), Damyanti (PW-4), Ram Awtar (PW-5) and Smt. Laxmi Chourasiya (PW-7) etc. to show about the story of harassment told by the deceased Nanda 5 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997 to them.Similarly, Rajendra Kumar (PW-9) was also examined to that extent.It is apparent that these witnesses had not alleged initially about any dowry demand etc. and therefore, no charge of the offence punishable under Section 304-B of IPC was framed against the respondents.Under such circumstances, the story told about the dowry demand by these witnesses appears to be an afterthought and concocted, which cannot be believed.If, gist of the entire allegation is considered simultaneously then, it appears that it is a story of ego of the father of the deceased and the respondents.If the deceased was not informed that there was a phone of her relatives, then that incident was stated in an exaggerated manner.Jamna Prasad (PW-3) father of the deceased has stated about the various letters written by him to the respondents and reply received from them.If those letters are read in detail then, it would be apparent that the harassment as alleged by the complainant party were not proved to be harassment at all.For an instance, Jamna Prasad (PW-3) has stated that there is a custom that they could not send the bride by her own, whereas it was for the bridegroom to visit the house of his in-laws to bring his wife at every time and therefore, when the respondent No.2 had no time to visit the house of the parents of the deceased then, Jamna Prasad did not send his daughter to her husband's house and on the contrary, he took her to visit some tourist place.6 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997 If the complainant Jamna Prasad was a well worse person and his daughter could not do the domestic work, then he himself must have married his daughter to a person, who had a fleet of servants.Looking to the entire evidence of this witness, it appears that the deceased was reluctant to do the domestic work and her wishes were fulfilled by her father beyond her capacity.If, in-laws of the deceased were scolding the deceased to improve the domestic work, then it does not an amount to be a harassment.Learned 4 th Additional Sessions Judge has mentioned so many instance in his judgment to show that it was the whim of Jamna Prasad and his relatives to behave with the respondents in such a manner so that they made the deceased to be an arrogant person.She was in habit to visit various marriage ceremonies and festivals without getting any permission from her husband and parents in-laws.Looking to the contradictions in their statements, it is apparent that a story of harassment was cooked afterwards and the witnesses gave the statements, according to that cooked story.No overt act of the respondents is established beyond doubt by which, it can be said that it falls within the purview of Section 107 of IPC.If the deceased was directed to do the domestic 7 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997 work and she was scolded to do the domestic work in the house then, such type of directions given by the respondent do not amount to be the harassment.The trial Court has rightly acquitted the respondent No.2 from the charge of the offence punishable under Section 306 of IPC.So far as the offence under Section 498-A of IPC is concerned, it is apparent that the respondent No.1 has expired, whereas mother of the respondent No.2 was not made a party in the appeal.The respondent No.2 being a private practitioner, who was visiting to his clinic and he remained in the house for a very little time.However, there is no allegation against the respondent No.2 that he personally harassed the deceased, whereas only allegations are made against the respondent No.2 that he was not followed the custom to take his wife from the house of her parents' in-laws and he objected that his wife went in the marriage ceremony at Bhopal without getting his permission.The complainant party appears to be an orthodox that the custom should be observed by the respondent No.2, but they did not think proper that before taking the deceased Nanda in some marriage or some other ceremonies of her friends and relatives, a permission is necessary from her husband.The parents of the deceased did not take care to send the deceased to the house of her husband, if he 8 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997 had no time of visit.On the contrary, due to their interference the deceased could not settle in the house of her husband.She could not understand that being a private practitioner, there were limitations to the respondent No.2 so that he could not arrange for the servants.Under such circumstances, though the statements given by the various witnesses in an afterthought manner and still they could not prove any harassment from the side of the respondent No.2, which may fall within the purview of Section 498- A of IPC.Under such circumstances, the respondent No.2 cannot be convicted even for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of IPC.On the basis of aforesaid discussion, it is apparent that the trial Court has rightly acquitted the respondent No.2 from the charges of the offences punishable under Sections 306 or 306/34 of IPC.There is no basis by which the present appeal can be accepted.Hence, the appeal filed by the State is hereby dismissed by confirming the judgment passed by the trial Court in the case.The respondent No.2 is on bail.Copy of the judgment be sent to the trial Court alongwith its record for information.(N.K .GUPTA) 9 Criminal Appeal No.1654/1997 JUDGE 07.09.2 pnkj

The respondent was originally a tenant cultivating this land.The petitioner had not taken possession through the Court.The surrender deed was a nominal and sham document, not intended to be acted upon.The respondent also contended that in October, 1963 the petitioner had agreed to sell this field to the respondent for Rs. 1500/- and the sale deed was to be executed in the month of the following year.After recording evidence, the Sub Divisional Officer, Pusad by his order D/- 14-1-72 negatived the contentions of the respondent and came to the conclusion that the possession of the respondent over the suit land was unauthorised and wrongful, within the meaning of Section 120 (c) of the Tenancy Act. The Sub Divisional Officer, Pusad, therefore, allowed the application of the petitioner, and, ordered summary eviction of the respondent from the suit land.Aggrieved by this decision of the Sub Divisional Officer, Pusad, tile respondent preferred a revision application to the Maharashtra Revenue Tribunal, which by its order dated 1-2-1973 allowed the revision application, set aside the order of the Sub Divisional Officer, Pusad, and dismissed the application of the petitioner under Section 120 (c) of the Tenancy Act. By this writ petition under Article 227 of the Constitution, the petitioner has challenged this order of the Revenue Tribunal.The Revenue Tribunal concurred with the finding of the Sub Divisional Officer on the point of validity of the surrender and also observed:The tenancy was therefore terminated."

Park as the place was dark, the accused pulled her hand and took her near by the corner of the said ground and raped her and then, he promised to marry her.In the cross-examination, P.W.1 had stated that the distance between the house of the accused and the place of S.T.D. Booth, where Maheswari is working, is one kilometer and it is possible to reach the place within fifteen minutes and on that road several buses and autos were running and shops were also available in both sides.But she had stated that the place of occurrence was dark.She also admitted that both the accused and herself were staying in the ground for one hour and no other person was available at that time.She returned to the house along with the accused only.After returning to home, she had not informed about that to anyone.Though she had stated that she informed the incident on the next day to the mother of the accused, she has not given any complaint.According to the evidence of P.W.2, he was not informed by his daughter.He came to know about the incident only from the neighbours and his wife enquired his daughter.Though there was a promise, for the marriage of the accused with P.W.1, no arrangement was made and therefore, P.W.1 made an attempt to commit suicide by consuming poison.While so, there had been a delay of two months in preferring the complaint.Normally, the delay in preferring the complaint for an offence of rape may not affect the case of the prosecution.But in the circumstance of this case, there is a delay in preferring the complaint.On the side of the defence, D.W.1-Prakash, Watchman of the Gim, which is in the K.P.Park was examined.He had stated that the area is busy area and he should be there in the park from 6.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m. and people used to visit the park.P.W.1 also had admitted that near the place, shops were available.In any event, after the occurrence, she accompanied the accused to return to the house.Though P.W.1 was examined by P.W.9-Dr.Thageera Begum after two months, according to the certificate Ex.P.10 given by her, it was found the vagina admitting one finger easily and the hymen had a laceration in 3,5,7,9 and 11 O'c clock position.The learned Trial Judge also observed in the Judgment at paragraph No.22 as follows:-"Obviously consent involves no denial and no resistance.It cannot be equated to resist out of helplessness.The absence of violence or stiff resistance in this case, which could be inferred from the testimony of P.W.1 is due to sheer timidity."All the circumstances put together throw considerable doubt with regard to the version of P.W.1 that she was forcibly raped.She also admitted in her cross-examination that she would not have given a complaint, if the accused had married her.From the evidence available, though it is to be held that the ingredients of the offence under Section 376 I.P.C. are not made out, the ingredients of the offence under Section 417 I.P.C. has been made out.18. P.W.1 herself had been a consenting party.Since the accused had promised in the name of God that he would marry her and subsequently, though the mother of the accused also promised to arrange the marriage of the accused with P.W.1 and the marriage did not take place, being dejected, P.W.1 also consumed poison and made an attempt to commit suicide.In the said circumstances, the accused is found guilty for an offence under Section 417 I.P.C., though no specific charge is framed against him.In the result, the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellant/accused under Section 376(1) I.P.C. are set aside instead, he is convicted under Section 417 I.P.C. and sentenced to undergo one year rigorous imprisonment and to pay a fine of Rs.25,000/-, in default, to undergo three months rigorous imprisonment.The learned counsel for the appellant/accused submits that the appellant was already in jail for more than one year and also paid a sum of Rs.25,000/- as fine, which was imposed on him for the offence under Section 376(1) I.P.C. The fine amount paid already by the accused will be adjusted to this.The said amount also to be paid to P.W.1-Varalakshmi as compensation under Section 357(1) (b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.T.SUDANTHIRAM, J.With the above modification, this criminal appeal is partly allowed.The Sessions Judge, Mahila Court, Chennai.The Inspector of Police, P-4, Basin Bridge Police Station, Chennai.The Public Prosecutor, High Court, Madras.Crl.A.No.30 of 2006

Chief Prosecutor on behalf of the State along with IO SI Dinesh.Ajay Bhardwaj and Ms. Sangeeta Singh.This order shall dispose of anticipatory bail application.Case of the prosecution is that complainant Jasvinder Kaur, who is widow of son of the applicant/petitioner Smt. Surjeet Kaur, filed a complaint before the police stating therein that she is owner of H.No.E-104, Jeevan Park, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi and the applicants/accused person who are the mother in law and sister in law, have forcibly taken the possession of the said property and had also threatened her and she apprehend danger to her life and not in position to visit the area and that the accused persons are being helped by the local police personnels.The complainant had also filed a contempt petition against the present petitioner/applicant in Honble High Court of Delhi, in reply thereto, applicant/petitioner had stated that no such act was committed by her and her counsel made the statement that the property was still lying locked and nobody had broken open the locks and there is lock of both the parties.The said statement was totally false and same was Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 18 of 56 mentioned on behalf of the complainant before Honble High Court and Honble High Court had observed that the complainant has remedy of filing a complaint in case the police fails to take the action.The fact that the locks are being broken and both the accused have committed serious offences is well in the knowledge of the IO.Both the accused persons Smt. Surjeet Kaur and Balwinder Kaur have also removed movables from the Suit property.The accused persons have committed offence of house breaking and trespassing in addition to other offences.On this FIR for the offence under Section 191/441/109/504/201/451/192/442 /16/506/203/457/193/445/120B/218/503/197/446 IPC was registered.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 18 of 56It is also admitted fact that the husband of the complainant had died.It is also admitted fact that she was an NRI earlier and after the death of her husband she wanted to shift to India.It is admitted case that this house belongs to the husband of the complainant.After his demise, a case was filed for obtaining probate against the property and vide order dated 27.10.2009, the management of house No. E-104, Jeevan Park, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi was given to the complainant.Hon'ble High Court of Delhi had permitted the respondent (complainant in this case) to manage the said estate of the Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 19 of 56 deceased and restricted her to create third party interest.It therefore, is apparent that neither the applicant, nor her daughter Balvinder Kaur had been staying in this house as per this statement.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 19 of 56From the submissions made by the Ld. Counsel for the accused persons before Hon'ble High Court of Delhi on 6.7.2012, it is apparent that the accused had put her lock in that house.V.P.

E-104, Jeevan Park, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi, which as per the petitioners was purchased by the petitioner no.1 in the name of her son i.e. husband of the complainant, while as per the case of the complainant the said property was solely and absolutely owned by her husband.Counsel submits that the petitioners are ready to give an undertaking that they will not interfere with the peaceful possession of the complainant in the said property and under no circumstance will take law into their own hands.Counsel further submits that the petitioners are already before the civil Court and for obtaining any kind of order they will approach the said court only.The present bail application is strongly opposed by Mr.Navin Sharma, APP for the State and the counsel Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 21 of 56 representing the complainant on the instructions of the complainant present in the court.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 21 of 56The Letter of Administration to administer and manage the said property has been granted by the learned District Judge vide order dated 27.10.2009 in favour of the complainant and the said order is under challenge before the Civil Court.Once the parties are before the civil court, they are bound by the orders already passed or to be passed by the civil court.In the event of arrest, petitioners shall be granted bail, on their furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each with one surety each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the SHO/I.O. of the concerned police station, subject to the condition that these petitioners shall fully cooperate in investigation and will not create any hindrance or impediment during the course of investigation.The complainant shall be at liberty to stay in the said property, if she so wishes.The present petition stands disposed of accordingly."(Emphasis supplied)In para 4 of the Bail Application 64/2013, the petitioners pleaded that both parties are residing in the subject property.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 22 of 56That, the Investigation officer - Sub Inspector Dinesh Kumar, Dwarka Police Station has filed his report as on 30 th October, 2012 and clearly stated in the said report that both the parties i.e. the complainant and the accused persons are residing in the stated disputed property and that it is submitted that if the same fact is taken into account as true and correct that both the parties were residing at same place as per the status report then beyond any reasonable doubts breaking the locks was not required by any party as such.(A photocopy of Report by I.O. dated 30/10/12 is also attached herewith as Annexure)"(Emphasis supplied)The status report of I.O. dated 30th October, 2012 relied upon by the petitioners is Annexure C in the Bail Appl.The relevant portion is reproduced hereunder:-"STATUS REPORT ...the complainant of this case told before Honble Delhi High Court through her counsel that petitioner had broken open the lock of the suit property.MOU dated 22nd February, 2013Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 23 of 56The original Memorandum of Understanding was filed in Contempt Case(C) No.377/2011 on 26th February, 2013 and is reproduced hereunder:-"Memorandum of Understanding This memorandum of understanding is made on this 22nd day of February, 2013 between Smt.

Handa, learned senior counsel appeared on 26th March, 2014 and sought time to amicably resolve the disputes between the parties.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 28 of 56On 16th April, 2014, there was again change of the counsel by the petitioners.Dr. Shyamlha Pappu, learned senior counsel appeared on 25th April, 2014 submitted that she has been instructed to contest the matter.40.1 On 26th April, 2014, the petitioners filed an affidavit in which she disowned the undertaking given by her counsel.Submissions of the petitionersAppl.5018/2013 for cancellation of the anticipatory bail is not maintainable as the complainant was not a party in the main Bail Appl.No.64/2013 and, therefore the complainant should have filed a separate petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. to seek cancellation of the anticipatory bail.The petitioners disown the undertaking given by their counsel to this Court on 15th January, 2013 on the ground that their counsel did not know that the complainant was not in possession of the subject property and he unknowingly made a statement that the petitioner shall not interfere with the peaceful possession of the complainant.The petitioners further claim to be in continuous possession of the subject property and therefore, there was no occasion for them to give any such undertaking.Petitioner no.1 is Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 29 of 56 not willing to leave the possession of the subject property where she has stayed for the last 30 years.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 29 of 56The petitioners also disown the statement made by her before this Court on 15th July, 2013 on the ground that her counsel made the statement without her consent and such admission is not binding on her.The statement of the complainant was recorded by this Court on 6th September, 2013 in which the complainant stated that the petitioners never handed over the physical possession of the subject property to her and she was never in physical possession of the subject property.Submissions of the StateIt is submitted that but for the said undertaking, this Court would not have granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners.It is further submitted that the petitioners withdrawal of the undertaking dated 15th January, 2013 is malafide and highly belated having been raised for the first time after more than a year.46. Learned APP for the State has referred to the order dated 30th November, 2012 whereby the learned Sessions Court dismissed the anticipatory bail application of the petitioners.It is submitted that the petitioners were present in Court at the time of hearing dated 30th November, 2012 which records their presence.Submissions of the complainantThe statement of petitioner no.1 that she has been Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 30 of 56 continuously staying in the subject property for the last 30 years is absolutely false.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 30 of 56The challenge to the order dated 15th July, 2013 is also frivolous.The order dated 15th July, 2013 was followed by order dated 1st November, 2013 which was signed by both the petitioners as well as complainant along with their counsels.The petitioner no.1 admitted before this Court on 6th July, 2012 that the subject property was lying vacant and locked by both the parties which falsifies her stand taken before this Court that she is continuously residing in the subject property.With respect to the statement dated 6th September, 2013, it is submitted that after the death of her husband, the complainant being the co-owner had put her lock on the subject property as the property was lying vacant and this position was admitted by petitioner no.1 as back as in September 2008 in the probate proceedings as well as in other proceedings.Vide the order dated 9th March, 2010 in FAO 91/2010, the complainant was permitted to manage the subject property during the pendency of the appeal whereupon petitioner no.1 was required to remove her locks.Consequences of filing false affidavitIn para 4 of the bail application BA-64/2013 (reproduced in para 28 above), petitioner no.1 has pleaded that both parties are residing in the subject property.Prior thereto, petitioner no.1 as back as on 24th November, 2010 filed an application M-11/10 before the District Judge in Probate Case No.335/2006 in which she stated that the complainant had broken her locks and therefore, the complainant be directed to hand over the keys of the subject property to her which was refused by the learned District Judge on the ground that the house was lying vacant and both the parties have put their locks on it.Relevant portion of the said order is produced in para 9 above.It is, therefore, clear that as back as on 24 th November, 2010, petitioner no.1 had admitted being out of possession and had put her lock on the lock of the complainant and further that the property was lying vacant.On 6th July, 2012, the complainant submitted before the High Court that petitioner no.1 had broken Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 38 of 56 open the lock which was disputed by petitioner no.1 who submitted that the subject property was lying locked; there was lock of both the parties and nobody had broken open the lock.On 24th January, 2013, learned Metropolitan Magistrate recorded in her order that the subject property was lying locked.Petitioner no.1 has not challenged any of the aforesaid orders which have thus become final.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 38 of 56On 24th November, 2010, she again admitted that the property was lying vacant and both the parties had put their lock on it.As such, the statement of the counsel for petitioner no.1 before this Court that the complainant was in possession of the subject property on 15th January, 2013 is not contrary to the facts on record.Since there is no order of the Court for removal of the complainants lock from the subject property, it is clear that petitioner no.1 has broken open the complainants lock to enter into the property.The question then arises as to the date on which petitioner no.1 has broken the lock of the complainant to enter into the property.The complainants contention that the petitioners broke the locks of the complainant on 5th February, 2011 and 26th February, 2011 appears to be true.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 39 of 56M.A.5018/2013 for cancellation of the anticipatory bail under Section 439(2) Cr.P.C. was filed by the complainant on 18 th April, 2013 and the notice was issued to the petitioners on 26 th April, 2013 in pursuance to which the petitioners appeared before this Court along with their counsel on 10th May, 2013 and the case was thereafter listed on more than 15 occasions but no such stand was ever taken by the petitioners before this Court.On 24th November, 2010, the complainant was in possession of the subject property in terms of the order dated 9 th March, 2010 and therefore, petitioner no.1 in her reply dated 30 th August, 2011 in Cont.Cas(C) 337/2011 claimed back the possession which was rejected by this Court vide order dated 24th November, 2010 on the ground that the subject property was lying vacant and both the parties have put their locks on it.It appears that the same status was continuing even on 15th January, 2013 when petitioner no.1 admitted before this Court that the complainant was in possession and therefore, she gave an undertaking not to interfere with the possession of the complainant.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 41 of 56In the evidence by way of affidavit dated 16th March, 2009 also, petitioner no.1 has given the same address.(ii) In FAO No.91/2010, petitioner no.1, in her affidavit dated 1st February, 2010 has given her Vishnu Garden address.(iv) In Bail Appln.64/2013, the affidavit dated 14th January, 2013 of petitioner no.1 in support of the bail application bears her Vishnu Garden address.The same address is given in the affidavit along with the exemption application.Affidavits dated 26 th February, 2014 of petitioner no.1 in support of the replies to Crl.Applns.2446/2014 and 2447/2014 also contain the same Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 42 of 56 address.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 42 of 56In the affidavit dated 26th April, 2014 before this Court petitioner no.1 for the first time mentioned her address as E-104, Jeevan Park, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi which is contrary to her earlier affidavits and is therefore, false.Apart from the addresses given by petitioner no.1 in all the proceedings, petitioner no.1 has admitted before the different Courts that the subject property was lying vacant and under the lock of both the parties meaning thereby that petitioner no.1 was not staying in the subject property.Even if the statements of petitioner no.1 in her affidavit dated 26th April, 2014 are taken to be true, the previous statements made by petitioner no.1 on oath would become false and, therefore, petitioner no.1 would be liable to the consequences of making false statements on oath.This is a classic case where petitioner no.1 herself has given so many contradictory statements.With respect to the contention of petitioner no.1 that on 15 th July, 2013 her counsel made a statement that she has 1/5 th share in the subject property without her instructions, is absolutely false.Counsel for the petitioner no.1 had talked to petitioner no.1 in the open Court within the hearing of this court before making the statement and this Court recorded the statement after satisfying that petitioner no.1 admitted her share in the subject property as 1/5 th only.As such, the blame put by petitioner no.1 on her counsel Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 43 of 56 with a view to wriggle out of the admission made in this Court on 15th January, 2013 is clearly contemptuous.That apart, petitioner no.1 admitted her right in the subject property to be only 1/5th in the MOU dated 22nd February, 2013 as well as the grounds (ii) andBail Appln.64/2013 Page 43 of 56The claim of petitioner no.1 to be absolute owner of the subject property is not sustainable in law as the title documents in respect of the subject property are in the name of her son late Ranjeet Singh Jutla.She was also not aware as to the date, time and place of execution of the said documents.She has not paid any sale consideration to the seller Rattan Singh.She claims to have paid the sale consideration out of the pensionary benefits of her husband which also have not been proved.However, petitioner no.1 has made an attempt to wriggle out of the statement made before this Court on 15th July, 2013 in her affidavit dated 26th Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 44 of 56 April, 2014 which also amounts to contempt.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 44 of 56On careful consideration of the rival contentions of the parties, this Court is of the prima facie view that the petitioners are guilty of wilful disobedience of the undertaking given to this Court as well as making false statements on oath before this Court.The petitioners have time and again changed their stand and have misled this Court.The conduct of the petitioners is also clearly contemptuous which is clear from the sequence of events summarized hereinbelow:-Petitioner no.1 did not contest this position.27th October, 2009 The Letters of Administration in respect of the subject property were issued in Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 45 of 56 favour of the complainant.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 45 of 566th March, 2010 Petitioner no.1 filed FAO No.91/2010 before this Court to challenge the judgment dated 27th October, 2009 in which she restricted her claim to only 1/5th share according to the ordinary law of succession.Petitioner no.1 admitted 1/5th share of the complainant and 3/5th share of the three children of the complainant.Petitioner no.1 did not challenge this order which has thus become final.24th November, 2010 Petitioner no.1 admitted that subject property was lying vacant and both the parties have put their locks on it - The complainant filed an application M-11/10 before the District Judge to seek the keys of the subject property from petitioner no.1 who admitted that the subject property was lying vacant and both the parties have put their locks on it.30th August, 2011 Petitioner no.1 admitted that subject Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 46 of 56 property was lying vacant under the lock of the complainant - Petitioner no.1 in para 1 of the reply to Cont.Case(C)No.337/2011, admitted that the subject property was lying vacant under the lock of the complainant.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 46 of 56Petitioner no.1 submitted that she has also put her lock.6th July, 2012 Petitioner no.1 admitted that the subject property was lying locked and there was lock of both the parties -Petitioner no.1 in FAO No.91/2010 admitted that the subject property was lying locked and nobody has broken the lock; and there was lock of both the parties.30th November, 2012 First contradicting statement - The petitioners claimed to be in continuous possession and occupation of the subject property and that the complainant was never in possession -During the hearing of the anticipatory bail application before the learned Sessions Court, petitioner no.1 claimed to be in possession and occupation of the subject Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 47 of 56 property and that the complainant was never in possession.15th January, 2013 Petitioners admitted the complainant to be in possession of the subject property- The petitioners admitted before this Court at the time of hearing of BA 64/2013 that the complainant was in possession and undertook not to interfere with their peaceful possession.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 48 of 5624th January, 2013 The Investigating Officer visited the subject property for compliance of the order dated 21st January, 2013 when the subject property was found locked at the main gate.The status report is noted in the order dated 24th January, 2013 passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate.18th February, 2013 Petitioners agreed to hand over the possession of the subject property to the complainant - The petitioners submitted before the Investigating Officer during the investigation of FIR No.325/2013 that they were ready to hand over the possession of the subject property to the complainant in terms of the submission before the High Court.22nd February, 2013 Petitioner no.1 admitted her share in the subject property to be 1/5th according to the ordinary law of succession - In the Memorandum of Understanding dated 22nd February, 2013, petitioner no.1 admitted her share in the subject property to be 1/5th and agreed to Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 49 of 56 accept the amount equivalent to 1/5th share within three months.However, from the admissions of petitioner no.1, it is clear beyond doubt that the subject property was lying vacant under the lock of both the parties from as back as on 10th July, 2008 recorded in the Probate Case.This situation continued up to as late as on 15th January, 2013 when the petitioners, who were unsuccessful in getting anticipatory bail before the Sessions Court, admitted the possession of the complainant and gave an undertaking to secure anticipatory bail.However, after securing the anticipatory bail, the petitioners again turned dishonest and removed the lock of the complainant and again started claiming the exclusive possession.The conduct of the petitioners is clearly contemptuous.From the complainants statement before this Court on 6th September, 2012 that the petitioners never handed over the Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 50 of 56 physical possession to her, it appears that both the parties had put their lock on the subject property which was lying vacant.In the eyes of law, upon the death of Ranjeet Singh Jutla, all the legal heirs of late Ranjeet Singh Jutla, namely, petitioner no.1(mother), complainant(wife) and three sons would be in possession of the subject property and petitioner no.1 cannot claim the same to the exclusion of others.The petitioners are guilty of playing tricks and misleading the Court which is clear from the fact that the petitioners, after being unsuccessful in getting anticipatory bail from the Sessions Court, approached this Court in Bail Appln.64/2013, secured the anticipatory bail from this Court after giving solemn undertaking.The petitioners continue to enjoy the order dated 15th January, 2013 for more than a year and only at the stage of hearing of the application for cancellation of bail, the petitioners are seeking to wriggle out of the solemn undertaking given to this Court.During this period, petitioner no.1 admitted before this Court on 15th July, 2013 that she has only 1/5th share in the subject property and she is ready to accept the market value of 1/5th share.After the statement was recorded, petitioner no.1 again changed her mind and Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 51 of 56 submitted that she is ready to make payment of 4/5th share to the complainant and her children and would like to retain the property.Since both the parties were keen to stay in the property and the present construction could not be divided by metes and bounds, petitioner no.1 later agreed for construction of a building by a collaboration agreement through a builder and to retain 1/5 th share of the built up structure which was accepted by the complainant.The complainant accepted even this.Petitioner no.1 is now trying to wriggle out of this also on the ground that all this was being done without her consent.Bail Appln.64/2013 Page 51 of 56During the course of the hearing dated 29th April, 2014, learned senior counsel for the petitioners admitted that vide order dated 9th March, 2010, this Court has permitted the complainant to manage the subject property till the disposal of the appeal subject to the condition that they shall not alienate or create third party interest.Learned senior counsel further admitted that the petitioners have not challenged the said

JUDGMENT D.G. Deshpande, J.Appeal No. 42 of 1990 is filed by the accused No. 1 against his conviction.Appeal No. 173 of 1990 is filed by the State against acquittal of the accused and Criminal Revision application No. 118 of 1990 is filed by the complainant.They were all college going boys.The case of the prosecution against them was that these accused assaulted number of other boys of the same college and caused the death of Sanjay Dhumma.As per the prosecution case, there was annual gathering of Walchand College of Arts Faculty.On 8.2.1989 in the morning between 8.30 A.M. to 10.30 A.M. fun-fair was arranged but because of bursting of crackers, it was abandoned.Many students including Arvind Zagade (P.W. 3) and Ashok Nimbargi (P.W. 8) were chit chatting in front of the staff room of the college where accused No. 1 Deepak picked up a quarrel with Shankar Pawar.Ravi Kore and Arvind Zagade intervened and stopped the quarrel.Shanker Pawar and Narsayya Jangam made a complaint to the Principal of Walchand College of Arts, about this incident.In that complaint accused Nos. 3, 4 and 5 were also implicated.When Dashrathsing Chavan (P.W. 2) came out of his office, he saw accused No. 1 Deepak Shinde in a violent mood.He tried to catch hold of Deepak Shinde but accused No. 1 Deepak Shinde ran away.This was made to one Ramesh Bhogade but in the hospital Sanjay was declared dead.The trial court found that out of the five accused, accused No. 1 Deepak Shinde was found guilty and was convicted under Section 304 (Part-II) of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer R.I. for five years and fine of Rs. 3,000/- in default R.I. for three months.The other accused were acquitted by the trial court.The State has filed Criminal Appeal No. 173 of 1990 against the acquittal of the accused.We have heard the Advocates for the Accused, Complainant and the learned APP for the State at length.We do not find any reason to interfere with the order of the trial court so far as it relates to acquittal of other accused i.e. accused Nos. 2 to 5 from all other offences and acquittal of the accused No. 1 from the offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 302 and conviction of accused No. 1 under Section 304 (Part - II) of the I.P.C. for the following reasons:On the same day at about 1.45 p.m. P.W. 3 Arvind Zagade, P.W. 8 Ashok Nimbargi and others had assembled at college premises as they wanted to practice a programme which they were going to perform in the variety entertainment programme.They were standing near the staff room.At that time accused Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 came there.Accused No. 1 Deepak Shinde threatened Ashok Nimbargi (P.W. 8).Arvind Zagade (P.W. 3) and Ravi Kore intervened but accused No. 1 Deepak Shinde abused Arvind Zagade and his friends and expressed that he would teach a lesson to Sanjay Dhumma.At that time Sanjay Dhumma entered the college premises.Then accused No. 1 roared at Sanjay Dhumma.Some bricks were thrown at him.Accused Nos. 2 and 4 threw the bricks at the other group.Deepak Shinde - Accused No. 1 and Jainoddin Shaikh - Accused No. 3 started beating Sanjay Dhumma with fist blows and kicks and at that time Deepak Shinde - accused No. 1 brandished a knife and gave blow on the left cheek of Sanjay Dhumma and another blow on the left side stomach of Sanjay Dhumma.It is alleged that the other accused were holding Sanjay Dhumma at that time.Thereafter the Accused ran away.Sanjay Dhumma was admitted to the hospital.While on way to the hospital, Sanjay Dhumma told about the assault on him by Deepak Shinde.Accused were arrested, statements under Section 27 of the Evidence Act were recorded, particularly, from accused No. 1 regarding the knife stained with blood.It was seized.All those Articles were sent to C.A. and charge sheet was filed.Trial court minutely scannned the evidence of the witnesses, who were mostly students.These accused were also students in their early 20's and came to the conclusion that there was no evidence to hold that any unlawful assembly was formed.The trial Court also found that there was no evidence to come to the conclusion that other accused Nos. 2 to 5 were guilty and it was also found that the knife was taken out by Deepak Shinde - Accused No. 1 in a heat of moment.Other accused were not supposed to know that accused No. 1 was carrying the knife and therefore they could not be foisted with the knowledge.Then according to the trial court injury on the cheek of Sanjay Dhumma was superficial, second blow on the stomach was given during scuffle and there was no intention to cause death or to cause such bodily injury which could be sufficient to cause death.The object of giving blow was found to be simply to over-barge Sanjay Dhumma.The trial court also found that accused No. 1 had received certain blows on his face because he was referred to the Medical Officer as per Exhibit 47 and which was clear from the evidence of Gajanand Mitragotri (P.W. 9).As rightly observed by the trial court both the groups of boys were college going students, quarrel between them was very petty.No inference of any intention to take revenge of such a brutal nature could be drawn against them.The quarrel was between two group of students which sparkled on the spur of moment regarding role attributed to accused Nos. 2 to 5 that they held Sanjay Dhumma and then accused No. 1 dealt knife blows to him, we do not find the evidence of the witnesses is consistent and credible.Sanjay Dhumma was actually not figured in the earlier quarrel, he wan not the person to lodge complaint to the Principal.It is not that the dispute between Accused No. 1 and Sanjay Dhumma was started earlier and then it culminated into this.Witnesses are not consistent as to why Sanjay was involved in this quarrel.The incident in the morning on that day had nothing to do with Sanjay and therefore there was no reason for all the five accused to hold Sanjay and then accused No. 1 to give a knife blow.Mere forming of two groups because of a petty quarrel, would not in such circumstances, and, particularly, in college campus, amount to formation of unlawful assembly.Therefore, the Appeal filed by the State challenging the acquittal of accused Nos. 2 to 5 cannot be allowed.So far as appeal filed by the accused No. 1 is concerned, he was rightly convicted by the trial court under Section 304 (Part-II).Apart from the evidence of eye witnesses, who were other students, recovery of the knife at the instance of accused No. 1 under Section 27 was sufficient for the Court to hold him quality.For the same reason, we do not find any merit in the Criminal Revision Application filed by the complainant.It appears from the cross-examination of P.W. 3 Arvind Zagade, who is an eye witness that the defence of the accused was that Sanjay was aggressor he had given fists blow on the face of accused No. 1 and then accused No. 1 took out a knife.The fact that accused No. 1 was referred to doctor in this background shows that there was not only quarrel about exchange of fist blows between two groups when the knife was taken out by accused No. 1 and followed by two blows; one causing superficial injury on the cheek and the other causing injury on the stomach.The said injuries as per the post mortem report "an incised stab wound on the left side chest 6th interposed space oblique in direction about 6 inches laterally to centre of chest merging regular and clean cut".This is the injury which has caused the death of Sanjay, the cause of death is Traumatic & Haemorahagic shock due to stab injuries of chest.In the circumstances, we pass the following order.ORDER Appeal filed by the accused along with Revision Application of the Complainant, so also Appeal filed by the State against acquittal, are dismissed.He should surrender before the trial court within four weeks from today.If he fails to surrender, the trial court will take action under Criminal Procedure Code to sent him to jail to undergo the sentence.

2. Facts and circumstances giving rise to this appeal are that :- A. The appellant is younger brother of the brother-in-law of the prosecutrix-Diplesh.Her parents and elder brother left for the market leaving the prosecutrix and her younger brother in the house.(f) Even small finger could not be admitted in her vagina without pain to her.(g) Her posterior fornix also had a tear of 1cm and blood clot was also present.This appeal has been preferred against the impugned judgment and order dated 4.11.2006 in Criminal Appeal No.1228 of 1992 of the High Court of Madhya Pradesh at Jabalpur, by way of which it reversed the judgment and order of the Sessions Judge, Seoni, Madhya Pradesh dated 16.7.1992 in Sessions Trial No.82 of 1990, by which the appellant stood acquitted of the charges punishable under Sections 376 and 450 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as ‘IPC’).The appellant found the prosecutrix alone as her brother was merely a child and raped her.The prosecutrix fainted and on regaining her consciousness, the prosecutrix narrated the incident to her father who lodged the FIR with the police on the same day.B. The appellant was arrested on 15.6.1990 and after investigation, the prosecution filed chargesheet against the appellant under Sections 376 and 450 IPC.C. The Sessions Court in Sessions Trial No. 82 of 1990 acquitted the appellant vide judgment dated 16.7.1992, on the ground that the prosecution failed to prove that prosecutrix was below 16 years of age, and secondly that she had consented for having sexual intercourse with the appellant.D. Aggrieved, the State preferred Criminal Appeal No.1228 of 1992, before the High Court.The High Court reversed the judgment of the Sessions Court, convicted the appellant for the said offences and awarded punishment of 7 years on both counts.The State appeal has been allowed.Hence, this appeal.Shri Ashok Mahajan and Shri B. Sridhar, learned Amicus Curiae have submitted that there is nothing on record to show that at the relevant time, the prosecutrix was below 16 years of age.The trial Court had rightly came to conclusion that it was a case of consent and such a finding was based on evidence on record.There was no occasion for the High Court to reverse the said finding as there was no perversity in it.Hence, the appeal deserves to be allowed.Per contra, Ms. Vibha Datta Makhija, learned Standing counsel for the State has submitted that the trial Court erred in understanding the meaning of consent and reached a wrong conclusion that the prosecutrix was not below 16 years of age.Thus, the consent, even if it was so, looses its significance.Thus, the appeal is liable to be dismissed.We have considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record.Sawan Lal (PW-2), father of the prosecutrix while lodging an FIR stated that the prosecutrix was 15 years of age.The Investigating Officer inspected the place of occurrence and found bangles and also recovered blood stained underwear, saree and petikot of the prosecutrix and also the blood stained earth and plain earth.Dr. Kiran Katre (PW-8) examined the prosecutrix medically and opined that the prosecutrix was about 14-15 years of age.According to Dr. Katre, it was difficult even to put the little finger in the vagina of the prosecutrix.She was referred to the Radiologist, however, no such report was made available.The prosecutrix was examined in the Court on 12.11.1991 as PW-1 and the learned Sessions Judge assessed her age on the basis of her appearance as about 14 years.In addition thereto, one Kabir Das (PW-4) who was a Teacher in the night school where the prosecutrix was studying, deposed that according to the school register, her date of birth was 7.3.1975 and thus, her age was about 14 years.The said date of birth had been recorded several years prior to the incident.It was in view thereof that Kabir Das (PW-4) had issued a Certificate, Exh.P/5, and he proved the said Certificate in the Court.The trial Court came to the conclusion that the prosecutrix was not less than 16 years at the relevant time, on the ground that Dr. Katre (PW-8) had referred her for Radiologist test and she had not been examined by the Radiologist.Withholding such an evidence would give rise to draw an adverse inference against the prosecution.Secondly, the school certificate could not be relied upon as it was not a strong and material evidence.More so, such an entry had been made in the school register on the basis of the information furnished by Sawan Lal (PW-2), father of the prosecutrix who deposed in the court that such an entry was based on an entry made in her horoscope which stood destroyed in the fire.In view of the above, the trial Court examined the second issue in respect of consent.The court found certain discrepancies and contradictions in the statement of the prosecutrix made under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as ‘Cr.P.C.’), and her deposition recorded in court.In her statement before the police she had told that the appellant had threatened to kill her if she shouted.The trial Court further observed that when her saree, petikot and even her panty were removed, she did not resist with full force as it was not possible for the accused to remove her panty unless she extended her cooperation.In case she had not given the consent she could have resisted the same with her full power.But, she has not deposed in court that she resisted with full power when her panty was being removed.The prosecutrix was supposed to attack the appellant like a wild animal, but she did not even resist.Thus, her conduct suggested only and only, her consent and will.The court further held that as per the medical evidence even a single finger went inside her vagina with difficulty then it was bound to be some injury in her vagina by forcible intercourse, but the Doctor did not find any injury on the person of the prosecutrix apart from certain injuries mentioned in the medical report.Therefore, there could not be any question of forcible intercourse.The trial Court while recording such finding had taken note of the fact that because of the sexual intercourse lot of blood oozed out of her vagina and as a result of the same she became unconscious.The High Court re-appreciated the entire evidence on record and particularly, the medical report which contained the following features:-(a) Her gait was painful.(b) There was also blood clot near her vagina.(c) Her forcet had a tear of 1/2cm x 1/2cm.(d) There was also an abrasion of 1/2cm above urethra.(e) Her hymen tear was in 3-9 'o' clock position.The FSL report Exh.P/12 revealed that underwear, petikot and saree of the prosecutrix were having blood stained and human spermatozoa.Similarly, in the slides as well as in the underwear of accused-appellant, the blood stains and human spermatozoa were found.The said clothes had been seized from the prosecutrix and the appellant soon after the occurrence.Jagarnath (P.W.4) and Dr. Asha Prasad (P.W. 14).Certain care has to be taken by the Doctor who medically examine the victim of rape.The victim of rape should generally be examined by a female doctor.Simultaneously, she should be provided the help of some psychiatric.

We are, however, of the view that keeping in view the nature ofinjuries on the person of the deceased and the facts and circumstances of thiscase the offence committed by the appellants comes within the mischief ofSection 325 read with 34 IPC.Thirteen external injuries were found on the deadbody of Jawahar.Out of those 11 were on lower legs and arms.Even according to Jawahar'sstatement (Ex.P6) all that A-1 had remarked was that the attack on him was inretaliation for the injuries Jawahar had caused on A-1 a few weeks earlier."This Court, by an order dated 24.08.2007 cancelled the bailalready granted to the appellant / accused in Crl.M.P.No.4256 of 1999 dated30.07.1999 and directed to issue non-bailable warrant to the appellant /accused.Learned Judicial Magistrate, Kodaikanal was also directed to takeaction against the sureties also.The appellant / accused must surrenderforthwith to serve out the remainder of the sentence, failing which, the learnedAdditional Sessions Judge, Dindigul must take steps to apprehend him and sendhim to custody.The Judicial Magistrate, Kodaikanal.-do- Thro' The Chief Judicial Magistrate, Dindigul.The Inspector of Police, Kodaikanal Police Station.The Secretary, Legal Service Committee, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.The Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.

P.W.16, on receipt of the post-mortem certificate, Ex.P.13, finalopinion, Ex.P.14, Serologist report, Ex.P.15, Comparison Report, Ex.P.17,Certificate of latest finger print examination, Ex.P.19, completed theinvestigation and laid the charge sheet against the accused on 30.04.2009 forthe offence under Sections 302 r/w 109 IPC.The prosecution, in order to bring home the charges levelled againstthe accused, examined P.Ws.1 to 16, filed Exs.P.1 to P.29 and marked M.Os.1 toWhen the accused were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in respectof the incriminating materials appearing against them through the evidenceadduced by the prosecution, the accused had denied each and every circumstancesas contrary to the facts and stated that they have been falsely implicated inthis case and they have not chosen to examine any defence witnesses on theirside.V.Kathirvelu, learned counsel for the appellant/accused contendedthat the prosecution has miserably failed to establish the case beyondreasonable doubt against the accused by adducing clear and cogent evidence andput forward the following contentions :a. The entire case rests on the circumstantial evidence and theprosecution has not produced any clinching and incriminating circumstancesagainst the appellant.b. The prosecution has chosen to place reliance on the alleged extrajudicial confession Ex.c. The extra judicial confession alleged to have been given by the accusedto the Village Administrative Officer, P.W.1 cannot be relied on as the VillageAdministrative Officer is a total stranger to the accused and as such theaccused could not have reposed confidence on P.W.1 to give the extra-judicialconfession, Ex.d. The last scene theory said to have been spoken by P.Ws.6 and 7, whoare also total strangers to A.1 as well as to the deceased as per theircategorical admission in the cross-examination and the prosecution also notchosen to conduct any identification parade and A.1 was identified for thefirst time before the Court by P.Ws.6 and 7 and as such the evidence of P.Ws.6and 7 is unbelievable and unreliable.e. Though P.Ws.6 and 7 categorically stated in their evidence that thedeceased and A.1 came in a motorbike, the said motorbike was not found in thescene as per the admitted version of P.W.16 and P.W.16 categorically admitted inhis cross-examination that he has not recovered the motorbike M.O.4 from thescene of occurrence and the said motorbike M.O.4 was recovered from some otherplace and from some other person.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor would contend thatthe prosecution has proved its case by adducing clear and cogent evidence.The fact remains that the entire prosecution rests on thecircumstantial evidence.The prosecution has chosen to place reliance on thefollowing circumstances, namely :-P.1 alleged to have been given by A1to the Village Administrative Officer/P.W.1 ;At the outset, it is to be stated that the opinion of the fingerprint expert cannot be construed to be a conclusive one and the same is to betested only as a corroborative piece of material along with other materialavailable on record.We cannot lost sight of the contradictory version putforward by the prosecution in respect of the recovery of M.O.1, beer bottle.P.W.16, the Investigating Officer, has categorically stated that he hasrecovered M.O.1, beer bottle, and M.O.2, 7-Up bottle from the scene ofoccurrence under Ex.It is needless to state thatonce the recovery is made by the Investigating Officer, the articles recoveredshould be required to be taken in the safe custody of the investigating officertill the same is produced before the Court.But in the cross-examination P.W.16has categorically admitted that he has not taken M.Os.1 and 2 to the policestation and he has made some constable to guard the scene of occurrence.P.W.10 claimed thathe was summoned by the Investigating Officer and he went to the scene along withthe Investigating Officer and thereafter, he has taken M.O.1, beer bottle, fortests.But P.W.16 has categorically stated that he has recovered the beerbottle even before the arrival of the finger print expert, P.W.10 under Ex.Added to all these infirmities, it is pertinent to note that P.W.16,has categorically admitted that P.W.10, finger print expert, has not recoveredthe beer bottle and has taken the finger prints in his presence.Yet another factor to be borne in mind by this Court in respect of theevidence of P.Ws.6 and 7 is that both of them claimed that the deceased and A1came in a motorbike to the scene, but the said motorbike, M.O.4, admittedly wasnot recovered from the scene of occurrence as per the specific and categoricaladmission of P.W.16, the Investigating Officer.P.W.16 has categorically statedthat he has not recovered the motorbike from the scene as the same was not foundat the scene.In view of the aforesaid reasons, we have come to the irresistibleconclusion that the prosecution has miserably failed to put forward clear,clinching and consistent circumstances unerringly pointing to the guilt of theaccused and as such, the impugned judgment of conviction is unsustainable inlaw.Accordingly, the appeal is allowed and the conviction and sentence imposedon the appellant by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Tiruchirapalli, inS.C.No.88 of 2009 dated 26.02.2010 are set aside and the appellant is acquittedof the charges levelled against him.The Inspector of Police, Manikandam Police Station, Trichy District.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.

PW-1/A) reveals that it was recorded, therein, by PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, that, at the time when he reached the spot where the incident had occurred, he found blood splattered on the floor of the Chowk in the building.It further records that he was made to understand that Barun had already been taken to the hospital, CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 13 of 43 whereupon he left PW-4 Const.Surender Singh at the spot and proceeded to the hospital, from where he collected the MLC of Barun (Ex. PW-15/A), in which it was recorded that he had been brought dead.Thereafter, ASI Pratap Singh records on the rukka (Ex. PW- 1/A), that he returned to the sport of occurrence, where he met Umesh Singh (PW-8), who claimed to have been an eyewitness to the occurrence, and proceeded to record his statement, under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C.

PW-4/C. The seal, after being used, it was testified, was handed over to Const.Surender Singh (PW-4).PW-16 further deposed that Umesh Singh also produced, before him, the appellants Dalip and Ram, claiming that they were the assailants.He identified the appellants, who were present in Court.P. S. Kansal, in the CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 15 of 43 presence of Umesh Singh (PW-8), and that Insp.P. S. Kansal took them into custody.Jitender, and PW-14 Insp.Per contra, in his earlier statement, under Section 161, Cr.P.C., PW-8 Umesh Singh deposed that he knew all the three appellants, i.e. Shambhu, CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 38 of 43 Dalip and Ram, earlier.This factor, again, is significant as, in cross-examination during trial, PW-8 accepted that, as it was Holi, the faces of the assailants, who assaulted Barun and himself, were covered with colour, and were difficult to identify.The appellants Dalip Kumar, Ram Parvesh and Shambhu Dass (who shall be referred to, hereinafter, for the sake of felicity, as Dalip, Ram and Shambhu respectively) are in appeal, before us, against common judgment, dated 26th November, 2001 and order on sentence, dated 14th December, 2001, passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (hereinafter referred to as the learned ASJ), whereby each of them has been convicted, under Section 302, read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), for having committed the murder of Barun Singh (referred to, hereinafter, as Barun), and, consequently, sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for life.The impugned judgmentThe case set up by the prosecution, as accepted by the learned ASJ, is as follows.On 13th March, 1998, Umesh Singh (PW-8) visited the deceased Barun, at his residence, on the occasion of Holi.He found an altercation, taking place, between Barun and Shambhu, resulting from a markedly trivial request, by Barun, to Shambhu, to lower the volume of the tape-recorder being played by him.Shambhu brought, with him, Dalip and Ram, the other two appellants before us.The fight, between Shambhu, Dalip and Ram on the one part, and CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 2 of 43 Barun, on the other, intensified.Ram held Barun, while Shambhu stabbed him, resulting in Barun losing consciousness.Umesh tried to intercede, but was also beaten up by the appellants.Umesh, thereafter, raised an alarm, resulting in the arrival, at the spot, of the neighbours.Shambhu dropped the knife and fled from the spot, whereas Dalip and Ram were apprehended by the neighbours.Barun was taken to the Sanjay Gandhi Hospital (hereinafter referred to as "the Hospital"), where he was declared brought dead.Thus, as found by the learned ASJ, Dalip, Ram and Shambhu had, in concert, committed the murder of Barun, with the fatal stab wound having been administered by Shambhu.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 2 of 43The witnesses, on whom the prosecution chiefly relied, before the learned ASJ, were Umesh Singh (PW-8) and Anil Kumar (PW-12).The prosecution sought to contend that both these witnesses were eye-witnesses to the incident.While holding that the presence of Anil Kumar (PW-12), at the spot at the time of occurrence was not conclusively proved, the learned ASJ has found Umesh Singh (PW-8) to be a credible eyewitness, whose deposition, which - as the learned ASJ finds - had remained consistent, in the investigation as well as during trial, successfully withstood cross-examination.On the basis of the deposition of Umesh Singh (PW-8), seen in juxtaposition with the evidence of Dr. K. L. Sharma (PW-2) - who had conducted the post- mortem on Barun - to the effect that Barun had suffered an abdominal stab injury, from which blood was oozing out even at the time of conducting of his post-mortem, and which was sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, and that the knife, seized CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 3 of 43 from the spot of occurrence and produced before him, was capable of causing the said injury, the learned ASJ held that the twin facts, of the death of Barun having been homicidal in nature, and having been caused by the appellants Dalip, Ram and Shambhu, with Shambhu administering the fatal stab wound, stood conclusively proved.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 3 of 43The appellants also attempted to plead, before the learned ASJ, that, as the occurrence had taken place in the heat of the moment, the conviction of the appellants, if at all, ought to have been under Section 304, rather than Section 302, of the IPC.The learned ASJ has, however, rejected the said submission, relying, for the purpose, on the fact that Shambhu had gone back to his residence and returned with a knife, with which he stabbed Barun, while Dalip and Ram held him down.Given the gravity of the offence, and the manner in which it was committed, the learned ASJ has proceeded to sentence all the appellants, before us, to rigorous imprisonment for life.Having thus set out in the case of the prosecution, as accepted by the learned ASJ in the impugned judgment, in prcis, as it were, we proceed to an overview of the evidence in the case.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 4 of 43The prosecution led the evidence of 18 witnesses numbered, however, PW-1 to PW-16, as HC Sh.Bhagwan and Umesh Singh (the star witness of the prosecution, purportedly an eye-witness to the incident) were both numbered PW-8 and ASI Pratap Singh and Insp.We point this out for clarity, as we do not propose to tinker with the numbering of the various prosecution witnesses, as assigned by the learned ASJ.Of the various prosecution witnesses,(i) PW-1 S. I. Ravi Kumar, PW-4 Const.Surender Singh, PW-8 HC Sh.Bhagwan, PW-10 Const.P. S. Kansal (both designated PW-16) were the Police witnesses, involved with the investigation at one point or the other,(ii) PW-2 Dr. K. L. Sharma was the Sr. Chief Medical Officer, at Dr. N. C. Memorial Hospital, who conducted the post-mortem on the deceased Barun,(iii) PW-15 M. K. Sharma was the Record Clerk at the Hospital, who proved the MLC of Barun, and(iv) PW-8 Umesh Singh and PW-12 Anil Kumar were the supposed eye-witnesses to the incident (though the learned ASJ has rejected the testimony of PW-12 Anil Kumar, holding that his presence on the spot was doubtful).Other witnesses, cited by the prosecution, are not of significance.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 5 of 43A few guiding principlesReturning to the evidenceGiven the importance of the evidence of PW-8 Umesh Singh, this Court deems it appropriate to extract, in extenso, his statement, recorded during investigation under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C., on the basis whereof the rukka (Ex.

PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh further testified, during trial, that, on 14th April, 1998, Shambhu was arrested from a spot near the tea shop at Rajinder Lakra Marg, by Insp.He also agreed that, at the time when he first visited the spot of incident, he did not find Umesh Singh, or any other eye-witness to the incident, present, and did not see any of the appellants at the spot, in the custody of any independent witness or otherwise.He also confirmed that he had not sent the knife, produced before him by Umesh Singh, for forensic examination to any fingerprint expert.He denied all other suggestions, put to him, to the effect that he was falsely implicating the appellants.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 16 of 43P. S. Kansal, also testifying during trial as PW-16, confirmed that, at 1:40 PM on 13th March, 1998, he had received information regarding the incident of stabbing that had taken place at Rajinder Lakra Marg and that, following thereupon, he reached the spot at 2:30 PM, to find that Barun had already been removed to the Hospital.He further deposed that he, thereupon, went to the Hospital and returned to the spot, to find ASI Pratap Singh recording the statement of PW-8 Umesh Singh, on the basis whereof ASI Pratap Singh drew up the rukka, which was sent, for registration of FIR, to the Police Station, through PW-4 Const.Surender Singh.He confirmed that he had taken up the investigation from that point and that ASI Pratap Singh had handed over, to him, parcels sealed with the seal of ASI Pratap Singh (PS), which he seized vide Seizure Memo Ex. PW-4/C. He also confirmed having taken samples of the bloodstained earth found on the spot, and having recorded the statements of PW-8 Umesh Singh and PW-12 Anil Kumar.He testified, further, that the appellants Dalip and Ram had been produced, before him, by ASI Pratap Singh, and that he had interrogated and, thereafter, arrested the appellants, whom he identified in Court.He confirmed having sent the body of Barun for post-mortem, and having collected the MLC (Ex. PW-15/A) as well as the post-mortem report (Ex. PW-2/A) of Barun.He further confirmed the fact that, on 14th April, 1998, he arrested the appellant Shambhu, and that, on 28th April, 1998, the investigation was handed over to PW-14 Insp.Surender Singh, testifying as PW-4 during trial, confirmed having proceeded to the spot, in the house of Dayanand, where Barun had been stabbed, at about 1:40 PM on 13th March, 1998, consequent to DD No. 13A (Ex. PW-4/A), recording the receipt of information regarding the stabbing of Barun, having been marked to ASI Pratap Singh (PW-16) for enquiry and investigation.He confirmed that, on reaching the spot, they found blood splattered on the ground, and that they were informed that Barun had already been taken to the Hospital.ASI Pratap Singh (PW-16) proceeded to the Hospital, leaving him to guard the spot, and, on returning after some time (at about 4 PM), handed over, to him, the rukka (Ex. PW-1/A), for the purpose of registration of FIR under Sections 302 and 323, read with Section 34 of the IPC.PW-4 further testified that he, thereupon, proceeded to the Police Station and had the FIR (Ex. PW- 1/B) registered, and that he returned to the sport of occurrence and handed over, to ASI Pratap Singh, the FIR and a copy of the rukka.PW-4 corroborated the statement, of the other Police Witnesses, regarding the production, before PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, of the knife, by Umesh Singh (PW-8), and the preparation, by ASI Pratap Singh, of a sketch of the knife (Ex. PW-4/B), on which he appended his signature.He also confirmed that the knife was sealed by ASI Pratap Singh, using his PS seal, and that the seal was, thereafter, handed over to him.The knife was seized vide Seizure Memo Ex. PW-4/C.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 18 of 43PW-4 Const.Surender Singh was cross-examined.During cross-examination, he confirmed that, when he had reached the premises where Barun had been stabbed, at about 2 PM, he did not find anyone having been apprehended.He deposed that PW-8 Umesh Singh met them on the spot, and that the sketch and seizure memo of the knife was prepared before drawing up of the FIR.At the same time, he accepted that the sketch and the seizure memo bore the number of the FIR, rather than that of the DD.Further confirmation, regarding sealing and seizure of samples, depositing of the samples with the FSL and obtaining the reports thereof, was provided by the depositions, during trial, of PW-8 HC Sh.HC Sh.Bhagwan, the Moharrir Head Constable (Malkhana) the "MHC(M)" being in charge of the Malkhana, where the seized goods were deposited before their dispatch for investigation and testing, testified as PW-8, and deposed, during trial, that, on 13th March, 1998, PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh had deposited, with him, a package, bearing his seal PS, allegedly containing the knife with which Barun had been stabbed.He also confirmed that, on 24 th May, 1998, PW-14 Inspector S. S. Ramela had obtained, from him, the said parcel, in order to secure an opinion, regarding the knife, after obtaining which he returned the parcel to him, sealed, this time, with the KLS seal of the doctor who had tendered the opinion, namely Dr. K. L. Sharma (PW-2).He further confirmed that, on 26th May, CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 19 of 43 1998, he sent all the parcels, through PW-10 Const.Jitender, to the FSL, for analysis, and deposed that, during the period when the parcels were in his custody, they remained intact, and were never tampered with.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 19 of 4333. PW-8 was not cross-examined, despite grant of opportunity.The fact of depositing, of the four sealed parcels, two of which bore the PC seal and two the KLS seal, with the FSL, on 26 th May, 1998, after obtaining the parcels from the MHC (M) on the same day, was also confirmed by Const.Jitender, deposing, during trial, as PW-He, too, affirmed that, during the period the parcels had remained in his custody, they were not tampered with.He was not cross- examined, despite grant of opportunity.He also confirmed having dispatched the above- mentioned four parcels, two of which bore the KLS and two the PC seal, to the FSL, through PW-10 Const.He further confirmed, in his testimony, that, on 23 rd May, 1998, he had obtained the sealed parcel of the weapon of offence, duly sealed with the PC seal, from the MHC (M), and had submitted an application (Ex. PW- 14/A), for obtaining medical opinion in respect thereof.On the said request being allowed, he testified that he had taken the parcel to the Civil Hospital and handed over to PW-2 Dr. K. L. Sharma, who had tendered his opinion (Ex. PW-14/B) with respect thereto and returned CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 20 of 43 the knife, to him, after affixing his seal (KLS) thereon.Thereafter, he deposed, he had deposited the knife, sealed with the KLS seal, which the MHC (M).He, too, affirmed that, during the period when the parcel had remained in his custody, it was not tampered with.PW- 14 was not cross-examined, despite grant of opportunity.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 20 of 43The MLC of Barun (Ex. PW-15/A) was approved by PW-15 M. K. Sharma, who was the Record Clerk at the Hospital.He confirmed having conducted the post-mortem on Barun on 14th March, 1998, and that Barun had been brought to the Hospital by PW-16 Inspector P. S. Kansal at about 12:10 PM on the said day.He also confirmed that the shirt, the baniyan and the underwear of Barun were blood smeared.He proved the post-mortem report prepared by him (Ex. PW-2/A), as well as the contents thereof, and reiterated, during trial, that, in his opinion, the cause of death of Barun was haemorrhagic shock consequent on a solitary stab injury, which was ante mortem and sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.He also opined that Barun had died within 20 minutes of infliction of the said injury and that over 24 hours had passed since his death.PW-2 was not cross-examined, despite grant of opportunity.PW-2 was recalled for examination, with the leave of the Court, regarding the opinion, tendered by him with respect to the knife, on the application (Ex. PW-14/A) submitted by PW-14 Inspector S. S.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 21 of 43He proved his opinion (Ex. PW-14/B), which was that the said knife, or any other such like weapon, could have inflicted the injury, which resulted in the death of Barun.He identified the knife, in court, as the knife which had been shown to him on 23 rd May, 1998, and on which he had tendered his opinion.He also prepared a sketch of the knife (Ex. PW-14/B), and confirmed the fact that the sketch prepared by Police (Ex. PW-4/B) had never been shown to him for comparison.It becomes necessary, at this point, to specifically allude to the evidence that has emerged, with respect to the knife, with which, allegedly, Barun was stabbed.The Seizure Memo, whereunder ASI Pratap Singh (PW-16) seized the knife, which had been handed over to him by Umesh Singh (PW-8), on 13th March, 1998, refers to the knife as bloodstained.However, the FSL report (Ex. PX) records that, on the knife, which had been submitted to the FSL for analysis, and to which the report refers as Exhibit 3, no blood could be detected.Similarly, PW-2 Dr. K. L. Sharma, too, in his opinion regarding the knife, as tendered on 23rd May, 1998 (Ex. PW-14/B), does not refer to any blood being found thereon.ASI Pratap Singh (PW-16) too, when shown the knife in court, testified that the knife was the same "which (he) had taken into possession when it was produced in bloodstained condition by Umesh Singh".Apparently, therefore, the knife, when produced in Court, was not bloodstained.Though, during his evidence during trial, Anil Kumar Singh claimed to be an eyewitness to the stabbing of Barun, the learned ASJ has rightly rejected his testimony as unworthy of credence, as his very presence, at the time and place of occurrence, was doubtful.A reading of the testimony of Anil Kumar Singh would justify this finding of the learned ASJ as, according to the said witness, the entire occurrence took place, not at the room of Barun, but at the house of one Ramcharit, his maternal uncle.This, the learned ASJ rightly holds, completely discredited the evidence of Anil Kumar Singh, as an eyewitness to the stabbing of Barun.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 22 of 43Depositions of appellants under Section 313, Cr.P.C.Following the conclusion of the recording of evidence of the various prosecution witnesses, the depositions of the appellants before us, under Section 313, Cr.P.C., was recorded by the learned ASJ.All the appellants denied having ever been involved, in any manner, in the stabbing of Barun or, for that matter, even having been present in the room of Barun on the day of incident.They professed ignorance regarding the results of the forensic investigation, the MLC of Barun, or his post-mortem report.They insisted that the case being foisted against them was false, and that the witnesses, who had deposed against them were interested witnesses.They did not choose to lead any defence evidence, though they claimed not to have been present at the time of incident.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 23 of 43Advancing submissions on behalf of the appellants, Mr. Satish Sharma, learned Counsel attempted to question the credibility of PW- 8 Umesh Singh, as an eye-witness to the incident.He submitted that the conduct of PW-8 was unusual as, if his nephew had been stabbed, there was no reason for him to send him to hospital with someone else, instead of himself taking him for treatment.He also pointed out that the report, of the FSL (Ex. PX) was that no blood had been found on the knife, which was alleged to be the weapon of offence.Blood, he pointed out, had been found only on the clothes sent to the FSL for analysis, which were all of the deceased Barun himself.He emphasised the fact that, in his cross-examination, PW-8 Umesh Singh had admitted that it was difficult to identify the faces of the persons present in the room at the time of the alleged incident, and that he had identified the appellants solely because other neighbours, who had arrived at the spot, referred to them by name.In any event, he submitted, there was no justification for the conviction of Dalip or Ram.He sought to submit that the testimony of PW-8 Umesh Singh, during trial, was contradictory to the statements of other witnesses, including PW-4 Const.Surender, who, in his deposition, did not refer to the production, before the Police, of Dalip or Ram.Especial emphasis was laid, by Mr. Sharma, on the cross-examination of PW-4 during which he admitted that, when the Police reached the site of occurrence, they did not find any person having been apprehended.Mr. Sharma took us through the testimony of PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, to CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 24 of 43 emphasise that it belied, in its entirety, the version put forth by PW-8 Umesh Singh, in his evidence.In sum and substance, Mr. Sharma sought to contend that the prosecution could not be said to have established the guilt, of the appellants, beyond reasonable doubt.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 24 of 43In all material particulars, Mr. Nayak would submit, the two depositions, of PW-8 Umesh Singh, corroborated each other.He emphasised the fact that PW-8 Umesh Singh, and the Police Witnesses, chiefly PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, were ad idem regarding blood having been present on the knife, at the time but it was produced by Umesh Singh.Inasmuch as the volume at which the tape- recorder was being played, supposedly acted as the catalyst that sparked off the fight between the appellants, on the one hand, and Umesh Singh (PW-8) and Barun, on the other, which culminated in the killing of Barun by Shambhu, any ambiguity or equivocation, in the testimony of Umesh Singh, with respect thereto, assumes significance.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 29 of 43(ii) Arrival of Dalip and Ram on the scene: Carrying the point further, the statement of Umesh Singh, during investigation under Section 161, Cr.P.C., is also discordant with his testimony during trial, regarding the entry, on the scene, of the appellants Dalip and Ram.In his statement, under Section 161, Cr.P.C., PW-8 Umesh Singh deposed that, consequent on the disagreement between Barun and Shambhu, regarding the volume at which the tape recorder was being played, Shambhu arrived at the spot with his friends Dalip and Ram (the exact words used, in vernacular, are "isi baat ko lekar Shambhu apne anya do saathi Dalip Kumar va Ram Parvesh ko lekar aaya"), whereas, in his examination-in-chief during trial, PW-8 testified that the quarrel between Barun and Shambhu had already started and "in the meanwhile accused Ram and the Dalip present in the court also arrived".On the issue of whether Shambhu arrived at the room of Barun with his friends Dalip and Ram, i.e. the appellants before us, or whether they arrived at the spot during the currency of the quarrel between Shambhu and Barun, too, there is discordance in the testimony of PW-8 during trial, vis--vis his statement under Section 161, Cr.P.C.(iv) Arrival of the neighbours: PW-8 deposed, during trial, that the boys staying in the neighbouring rooms had arrived after the scuffle, between Shambhu and Barun had started, but before Shambhu went to his room and retrieved his knife.This was, to an extent, supported by his subsequent deposition, in cross-examination, that "many persons saw the incident".As against this, in his statement under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C., PW-8 Umesh Singh stated that the neighbours had arrived after Barun was stabbed, he himself, i.e. Umesh Singh, was belaboured by Dalip, Ram and Shambhu, and he raised a hue and cry.Significantly, as would be noted hereinafter as well, PW-4 Const.Surender Singh and PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, in their testimony during trial, deposed that, when they reached the spot, they found neither Umesh Singh, nor any of the appellants, apprehended by any independent witness, present there, and that ASI Pratap Singh came across Umesh Singh only when he returned from the hospital.If the testimony of Umesh Singh, as tendered during trial, were to be treated as true, several imponderables would result.For one, it is, ex facie, difficult to believe that the neighbours, who had gathered at the spot during the initial quarrel between Shambhu and Barun, CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 31 of 43 patiently waited and watched while Shambhu went to his room, returned with his knife, stabbed Barun in the abdomen, with Dalip and Ram holding Barun down all the while, and swung into action only after Umesh Singh himself had been assaulted, and had raised a hue and cry - which is what happened, if the testimony, of PW-8 Umesh Singh, during trial, were to be believed.Moreover, if, in fact, many neighbours arrived during the scuffle, and witnessed the murder of Barun why did the I/O not record the statement of any neighbours, or co-opt the neighbours who had witnessed the incident, as prosecution witnesses? There is no ready answer.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 31 of 43(v) Arrival of the Police: Insofar as the arrival of the Police was concerned, PW-8 deposed, in his examination-in-chief during trial, that the Police had arrived at 12:30 to 1 PM, whereupon he produced the appellants Dalip and Ram before them, and handed over the knife with which, allegedly, Barun had been assaulted.Per contra, in his deposition under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C., during investigation, PW-8 Umesh Singh maintained that the neighbours had arrived at the spot, and had got hold of Dalip and Ram, thereafter Sushil had taken Barun to the Hospital, and that it was at this stage that the police arrived, and he handed over, to them, Dalip and Ram.In stark contradiction, both PW-4 Const.Surender Singh, as well as PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, testified, during trial, that, when they reached the place of occurrence, they did not find anyone to have been apprehended by any independent witness, and did CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 32 of 43 not find Umesh Singh at the spot, either.Rather, maintained PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, it was only when he returned from the Hospital, later, that he met Umesh Singh.Even at that stage, according to the testimony of ASI Pratap Singh, no independent witness was present when Umesh Singh produced, before him, the appellants Dalip and Ram.These are significant contradictions, as, if the testimony of ASI Pratap Singh were to be believed - and there is no reason why his testimony should be accorded any less credibility than that of PW-8 Umesh Singh; if anything, as a disinterested witness, the testimony of PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh would be entitled to greater weight - the entire sequence of events, prior to the return, from the hospital, of ASI Pratap Singh, is shrouded in obscurity.On the one hand, PW-8 Umesh Singh deposed that a quarrel had erupted between Shambhu and Barun; Shambhu had arrived with a knife, with which he stabbed Barun; in the melee, the appellant, too, sustained injuries and, during this time, the neighbours arrived and witnessed the incident and, thereafter, apprehended Dalip and Ram, at which time the police arrived.On the other, Const.Surender Singh and ASI Pratap Singh maintained that, when they arrived at the spot, they neither found Umesh Singh, nor any of the appellants, apprehended by any independent persons, present there.ASI Pratap Singh went on to depose that, even at the stage when, after his return from the Hospital, he met Umesh Singh, who produced Dalip and Ram before him, no one else was present.The appellants, in their statements under Section 313 of the Cr.P.C., denied the CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 33 of 43 entire incident, as well as their presence in the room of Barun at the time.In view thereof, the significance of the aforenoted inconsistency, between the deposition of PW-8 Umesh Singh, and that of PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, cannot be gainsaid.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 32 of 43CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 33 of 43(vi) Injuries suffered by Umesh Singh: While, in his statement under Section 161, Cr.P.C., as well as in his testimony in examination-in-chief during trial, PW-8 Umesh Singh made no mention of the injuries suffered by him, or of his having bled at any point of time, in cross-examination, he testified that he was bleeding and that, in fact, there were bloodstains on his shirt.This version is not supported by any of the Police Witnesses.In fact, PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, on being queried, specifically testified that he did not remember whether the shirt of Umesh Singh was, or was not, bloodstained, but confirmed that he had not taken the shirt for being subjected to forensic examination.The deposition, of Umesh Singh, that he had undergone treatment, for the injuries suffered by him, "privately", is also not supported by any documentary material, such as the prescription of a doctor, or other evidence of his having undergone private treatment.In the present case, the knife, with which, allegedly, the offence had been committed, was stated, by Umesh Singh (PW-8), in his testimony during trial, to have been "bloodstained" - though, in his statement under Section 161, Cr.P.C., he does not say so.ASI Pratap Singh, deposing as PW-16, also testified, during trial, that the knife, handed over to him by Umesh Singh, was bloodstained.Mysteriously, however, the FSL report (Ex. PX) specifically states that no blood was detected on the knife which was submitted to the FSL for examination.The testimony of PW-8 HC Sh.Bhagwan, PW-10 Const.In fact, the conduct of Mohammad Akhtar in taking the dagger with him to the Hospital itself seems to be suspicious, particularly when, according to him, the assailants were captured and were left behind at the scene of occurrence.The alternative explanation that the blood had disintegrated by the time the scrapings from the dagger could be tested by the Chemical Examiner and the Serologist is also improbable, because the Serologist in his report was quite definite that there were no traces of blood in the scrapings.If he had failed to find the blood due to disintegration, he would have said so in his report, as is usual in such cases where the Serologist feels that there was blood, but, due to disintegration, proper test could not be applied, so that he could not certify its presence."CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 35 of 43The medical opinion, dated 23rd May, 1998 (Ex. PW-14/B), regarding the knife, as obtained from PW-2 Dr. K. L. Sharma, too, is of no help either way, as PW-2 merely opined, in a markedly ambivalent vein, that the fatal abdominal injury sustained by Barun, could have been caused by the said knife, or any such like weapon.In his statement, recorded under Section 161, Cr.P.C., Umesh Singh specifically stated that Shambhu and Barun had been on bad terms since several days, and were prone to fight over trivialities, and that, as they were both Biharis, efforts were made to have the matter reconciled, instead of reporting it to the Police.Even so, stated Umesh Singh in his testimony under Section 161, Cr.P.C., Shambhu used to threaten that he would not leave Barun, and would eliminate him.While, in his examination in chief, PW-8 did not refer to the existence, or non-existence, of any earlier animosity between Shambhu and Barun, in cross-examination, PW-8 executed a complete volte face on his deposition under Section 161, Cr.P.C., not only denying knowledge of any pre-2012 SCC OnLine Del 5485 CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 37 of 43 existing animosity between Shambhu and Barun, but also denying having ever told the Police that he, and Barun, chose not to file any complaint against Shambhu, for his indiscretions, and had solved the problem themselves.This, again, is a significant aspect, impacting, as it does, substantially, the aspect of motive, for the commission of the crime in question.The involvement, at least of Dalip and Ram, in the incident, would also become doubtful, if, as PW-8 testified in cross-examination during trial, he did not know who they were, and merely identified them on the basis of the statements of the neighbours.CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 38 of 43Surender Singh and PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh - when they arrived at the scene.If the testimony of PW-8, during trial, is to be accepted, it would mean that the neighbours had gathered at the spot during the initial stages of the scuffle between Shambhu and Barun and that it was while they were so present, and witnessing the incident, that Shambhu left the room, proceeded to his room, returned with a knife, and proceeded to violently stab Barun, using the knife, resulting in Barun falling unconscious, with an open abdominal wound from which blood was profusely flowing.Even then, Shambhu managed to drop the knife and free from the spot, and it was only at this point that the neighbours, who had been silently watching till then, were galvanised into action, and apprehended Dalip and Ram.If this were so and, as PW-8 maintained during cross-examination, there were many who had witnessed the incident, at defies comprehension that the I/O did not choose to interact with or co-opt as prosecution witnesses, the said neighbours.As against this, the statement of Const.Surender Singh and ASI Pratap Singh was that, when they reached the spot at about 2 PM, they did not find Umesh Singh there, nor did they find anyone having been apprehended.Rather, according to ASI Pratap Singh, he met Umesh Singh, for the first time, only when he returned from the hospital, and it was only then that Umesh Singh produced, before him, the appellants Dalip and Ram - at which time, too, according to ASI Pratap Singh, there was no one else on the scene.The appellants, for their part, completely denied, in their statements under Section 313, Cr.P.C., having ever been at the spot, any involvement in the stabbing of Barun.The very happening of the incident, and the manner in which it transpired, therefore, is cast in CRL.A.45/2002, CRL.A.315/2002 & CRL.A.470/2002 Page 40 of 43 serious doubt, as a result of the stark dissonance between the testimonies of PW-8 Umesh Singh, on the one hand and PW-4 Const.Surender Singh and PW-16 ASI Pratap Singh, on the other.

This appeal challenges the judgment of the Additional Sessions Division,Tuticorin dated 20.3.2001 made in S.C.No.310 of 2000 whereby thisaccused/appellant stood charged, along with the other ranked as the secondaccused, under sections 302 r/w 34 IPC and 324 IPC, while the second accusedstood charged under sections 302 r/w 34 and 323 IPC and on trial, thisaccused/appellant was found guilty under Sections 302 and 324 IPC and awardedthe punishment of life imprisonment and fine of Rs.1,000/- with a defaultsentence of three months simple imprisonment under Section 302 IPC and one yearrigorous imprisonment along with fine of Rs.500/- with a default sentence of onemonth simple imprisonment under Section 324 IPC while the second accused wasacquitted of the charge under Section 302 r/w 34 IPC and he was found guiltyonly under Section 323 IPC and imposed a fine of Rs.500/- in default to undergoone month simple imprisonment.Hence, the appeal at the instance of theaccused/appellant.The short facts that are necessary for the disposal of this appeal canbe stated thus:-On the date of occurrencealso, it happened so.PW.1 shouted on this.Further, she added that they wouldreap a stern punishment.Thereafter, he proceeded to theGovernment Hospital, where the dead body of the deceased was kept in themortuary.He conducted inquest in the presence of witnesses and prepared anInquest Report Ex.(vii) Following the inquest, the dead body was subjected to post-mortem byPW.7 Doctor, pursuant to the requisition made by the investigating officer.Hefound the injuries as described in the Post-Mortem certificate Ex.P.9 wherein hehas also opined that the deceased would appear to have died of shock andhaemorrhage due to multiple injuries particularly to the vital organ brain, 12to 24 hours prior to post-mortem.(viii) Pending investigation, the Investigating Officer arrested theaccused on 27.11.1998 in the presence of witnesses.During the course ofinvestigation, the first accused gave a confessional statement and theadmissible part of the confessional statement was marked as Ex.Pursuantto his confession, he produced an aruval MO.1, which was seized in the presenceof witnesses by the investigating officer under a cover of Mahazar Ex.(ix) All the material objects recovered from the place of occurrence, fromthe accused and from the dead body of the deceased were subjected to chemicalanalysis, which resulted in two reports viz., Chemical Analysis Report Ex.x) On completion of the investigation, the Investigating Officer has filed afinal report before the Judicial Magistrate Court, Srivaikuntam, which in turncommitted the case to the court of sessions and necessary charges were framed.xi) In order to substantiate the charges, at the time of trial, theprosecution examined 13 witnesses and relied on 20 exhibits and 7 MOs.Oncompletion of the evidence on the side of the prosecution, theaccused/appellants were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. as to theincriminating circumstances found in the evidence of prosecution witnesses.They denied them as false.On the side of the defence, neither witness wasexamined nor document was marked.After hearing the arguments of the counsel andlooking into the materials available meticulously, the lower court, took theview that the prosecution has proved the case beyond reasonable doubts and foundthe accused guilty and awarded the punishment as referred to above, which is thesubject matter of challenge before this Court.Advancing his arguments on behalf of the appellant, Mr. C. Mayil VahanaRajendran, learned counsel, would submit as follows:PW.1 to PW.4 were examined as the occurrence witnesses.Out of whom, PW.1 is the wife of the deceased and PW.2 is the son of thedeceased.PW.3 is the brother's son of the deceased and PW.4 is another brotherof the deceased.Thus, they are closely related to the deceased.Out of thesewitnesses, PW.1 and PW.2 have been shown as the injured witnesses.In thatregard, Accident Register Copies issued to PW.1 and PW.2 were marked as Ex.P.5and Ex.P.6 respectively.It could be seen in the earliest document Exs.P.5issued to PW.1 that 4 known persons have attacked him.As per Ex.Thus,there is discrepancy in respect of the assailants involved in the case and theprosecution has not come forward to offer any explanation in that regard.(ii) The ocular testimony was not corroborated by the medical evidence.Immediately,after the occurrence, PW.1 and PW.2 were actually taken to the GovernmentHospital, Srivaikuntam.A communication was given to the respondent policestation.On receipt of the intimation, PW.13 the Inspector of Police, attachedto the respondent Police Station, went to the Government Hospital and recordedthe statement of PW.1 at about 9.30 p.m., on the date of occurrence and he cameback to the Police Station and registered the case at about 11.30 p.m.,.and theF.I.R. Ex.P.16 has reached the Judicial Magistrate, Srivaikuntam only on thenext day at about 6.00 a.m.,.Under the circumstances, the delay remainunexplained and it has actually affected the prosecution case.(iv) The learned counsel would further add that the delay caused if viewedfrom the discrepancies found in the Accident Register Copies Exs.P.5 and P.6issued to PW.1 and PW.2 respectively would go to the root of the prosecutioncase.The court heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the abovecontentions and paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made and alsoscrutinized the materials available.In order to substantiate the charges levelled against theaccused/appellant, at the time of trial, the prosecution has examined fourwitnesses.At this juncture, the accused/appellant attacked the deceased onhis head and as a result, he succumbed to injuries.PW.1 and PW.2 have alsosustained injuries.On receipt of theintimation Ex.P.4, PW.13 the Inspector of Police, attached to the respondentPolice Station rushed to the Government Hospital, Srivaikuntam and has recordedthe statement of PW.1 at about 9.30 p.m., on the date of occurrence and he cameback to the Police Station and registered the case at about 11.30 p.m.,.and theF.I.R. Ex.P.16 has reached the Judicial Magistrate's residence at Srivaikuntamat about 6.00 a.m., on the next day.It is true, there is some delay but takinginto consideration the case was registered in the night hours and has alsoreached the concerned Judicial Magistrate's residence in the early hours of thenext day i.e. at about 6.00 a.m., it has got to be taken as has happened in thenatural course of events.So long as the prejudice was not shown to have takenplace against the interest of the accused/appellant, there would be noquestion of giving any benefit in view of the delay so noticed.Insofar as the other contention put-forth by the learned counsel forthe appellant that the Doctor PW.7 has well admitted that the contents found inthe documents were made by PW.1 and PW.2 and in Ex.P.5 A.R.Copy issued to PW.1,it is found that PW.1 was assaulted by four known persons while Ex.P.6 A.R.Copyissued to PW.2, he was attacked by 3 accused persons, it is pertinent to pointout that it is a well settled proposition of law that in a given case where theeye-witnesses happened to be the injured witnesses, unless and until, a strongcircumstance or reason is noticed, their evidence can not be discarded.Theseeye-witnesses are closely related to the deceased one is the wife and the otheris the son.In the occurrence, PW.1 has last her husband and PW.2 has last hisfather.When they were taken to the Government Hospital, they were in anxiety,and so such statements could have been given to the Doctor PW.7 who recordedExs.The house of PW.1 was abutting to the house ofthe accused.On the date of occurrence also, it happened so and at about 6.45p.m., it was PW.1 who shouted at the accused party and there was a wordyaltercation between the women folk for some time and at that time, the deceasedintervened; on seeing this, A.1 being got provoked by the act of the deceased,took an aruval and attacked him.Due to sudden provocation, he has acted so andcausing the death was neither intentional nor premeditation.Considering the factual background of the case, the Court is of theconsidered opinion that the act of the accused would attract the penal provisionof Section 304 (Part-I) and awarding seven years rigorous imprisonment wouldmeet the ends of justice.Therefore, the judgment of the trial Court inconvicting and sentencing A.1/the appellant under Section 302 IPC is set asideand instead he is convicted under Section 304 (Part-I) IPC and awarded sevenyears rigorous imprisonment.The fine amount imposed under Section 302 IPC istreated as the one imposed under Section 304(Part-I) IPC.The period of imprisonment already undergone by the accused/appellant shall begiven set off.The Court concerned is directed to secure the presence of theaccused/appellant and commit him to prison to undergo the remaining period ofsentence.The bail bonds executed by the appellant stand terminated.In the result, the Criminal Appeal is dismissed with the abovemodification.1.The Additional Sessions Judge-cum-Chief Judicial Magistrate, Tuticorin.2.The Inspector of Police, Eral Police Station, Tuticorin District.3.The Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.

A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 1 of 10 offence punishable u/s 392/506/34 IPC.For the sake of felicity, the facts noted by the trial court are reproduced hereinunder:"Prosecution case, in brief, is that on 16.08.2013, an information was received at Police Station Farsh Bazar vide DD No.27-A that the purse and chain of the caller have been snatched.ASI Ami Chand rushed at house No.390, NSA Colony, Vishwas Nagar where complainant Vicky @ Ved Prakash met him but due to anxiety, he could not give the statement.DD No.27-A was therefore kept pending.On 18.08.2013, Vicky @ Ved Prakash came at the police station and gave the statement that on 16.08.2013 at about 04.30 pm when he reached at Gali No.14, Vishwas Nagar, accused Noor Mohd @ Noora, Pankaj and Bhim, who are the residents of NSA Colony and were known to him, stopped him.Pankaj made demand of money.On refusal, Bhim put knife type weapon on his back, Pankaj caught his both hands and Noor Mohd. @ Noora took out Rs.10,000/-, voter I card and pocket diary from the left pocket of his pant.They threatened Vicky that in case he made complaint to the police, they would kill him.After extending threats, they ran away from the spot.On the said statement of Vicky, FIR under Section 392/397/34 IPC was registered.He got recovered Rs.2000/- from his house.On 31.08.2013, Crl. A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 2 of 10 accused Pankaj was arrested.He got recovered Rs.1200/- from his house.On 08.09.2013, accused Bhim was arrested.The chhura, used in robbery, was recovered from his possession.Investigation was completed and chargesheet was filed in court under Section 392/397/411/34 IPC."Crl. A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 2 of 10After completing the investigation, charge under sections 392/506/34 IPC was framed against both the appellants as well as against one co- accused Noor @ Noor Mohd. A separate charge U/s 397 IPC was also framed against the appellant Bhim.The appellants pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.Learned counsel for Pankaj contended that inspite of the fact that accused were already known to him prior to the incident, the complainant did not mention their names in the first information recorded i.e. DD no.27A. It was also contended that no public witness was associated during investigations.Lastly, it was stated that the knife was not shown to the complainant during his examination.Learned counsel for Bhim contended that whereas the DD no.27A mentioned only robbery of purse and a chain, the FIR mentioned robbery of Voter ID Card, Pocket diary and Rs.10,000/-.He deposed that on 16.08.2013 at about 04:30 PM while he was going on foot to buy copper wire, the appellants who were residents of his colony met him.While Pankaj demanded money from him and on his refusal, Bhim put Crl.A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 3 of 10 a knife like weapon on his back.He went back to his house and from there gave a call to police at 100 number mentioning only the robbed articles i.e., a purse and a chain.The police reached his house but he did not give any statement that day as he was perplexed.Two days after the incident, he gave a statement to the police on which FIR was recorded.He proved his statement made to the police as Ex.PW1/A. He further deposed that during investigations, he was called to the police station where he identified Pankaj and Bhim on 31.08.2013 and 08.09.2013 respectively.In court, during his testimony, he identified both appellants as well as the case property recovered at the instance of accused Noor @ Noor Mohd. i.e., 4 notes of denomination of Rs.500/-, a pocket diary and Voter ID card.He also identified currency notes of denomination of Rs.500 out of Rs.1200/- (2 notes of denomination of Rs.500/- and 2 notes of denomination of Rs.100/-) which were recovered at the instance of Pankaj.In cross-examination, he admitted that he was not aware about the address of Bhim.He also admitted it to be correct that accused Noor Mohd. was a BC (bad character) of the area.The present proceedings are instituted impugning judgment of conviction dated 26.09.2015 whereby the appellants were convicted for Crl.Vide order on sentence dated 28.09.2015, the appellants were directed to undergo RI for five years along with fine of Rs.5,000/- each for the offence punishable under sections 392/34 IPC in default whereof to undergo SI for 6 months.They were also sentenced to RI for one year for the offence punishable under sections 506/34 IPC.The sentences were directed to run concurrently and benefit of Section 428 Cr.P.C. was granted to both the appellants.Crl. A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 1 of 10As both the appeals arise out of one common judgment, they are taken up together for consideration and disposed of vide this judgment.The prosecution examined six witnesses in support of its case.The appellants also examined three witnesses in their defence.I have heard learned counsels for the appellants as well as learned APP for the State.Crl. A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 3 of 10The other witnesses examined were police officials who were associated with various stages of investigation.HC Suresh proved the FIR as Ex.PW2/B. Ct.Rahul (PW3) took copy of the FIR and original Rukka from the duty officer and handed it over to ASI Ami Chand.He was also witness to the recovery of case property made at the instance of accused Noor Mohd.Crl. A. 1246/2015 & Crl.A. 1149/2015 Page 4 of 10Sandeep (PW4) was witness to recovery of knife at the instance of Bhim.Anil (PW5) was witness to the recovery of Rs.1200/- (wrapped in a paper) recovered from the bed lying in the house of Pankaj.ASI Ami Chand (PW6) was the investigation officer.Both of them deposed that the accused persons were falsely implicated, however, in their cross-examination they stated that they did not make any complaint to any senior officer.She deposed that on 13.03.2012 the police officials apprehended the appellant in a false case under Arms Act for which they also made a complaint dated 16.03.2012 to the concerned SHO vide DD No.14B (Ex.DW3/A).A perusal of the testimony of Ct.Sandeep shows that during his examination in chief conducted on 04.07.2014, he did not identify the knife, however on the subsequent date i.e. 29.08.2014, he identified it.The trial court had put a question to him as to on what basis he identified the knife to which he could not offer any explanation.The trial court acquitted Bhim for the offence punishable under section 397 IPC.The State has not challenged Bhim's acquittal under the aforesaid section.It has been brought to the notice of this court that co-accused Noor @ Noor Mohd preferred an appeal bearing Crl.Two days later, the complainant gave a statement resulting into the present FIR, where besides giving names and specific role of each of the accused, it was stated that the accused had snatched Rs.10,000/- (20 notes of Rs.500/-), a voter ID Card and a pocket diary.During his deposition, the complainant did not give any explanation for the delay of two days in giving statement for the first time on 18.08.2013 except stating that he was threatened by the appellants.Had he felt threatened by the appellants, the complainant would have not even made the PCR call on 16.08.2013 after the incident.The appellants were well known to the complainant being residents of the same locality.Additionally, in the facts of the case, I find considerable merit in the submission of the learned counsels for the appellants that no reliance can be placed on the identification of currency notes as neither serial numbers of currency notes were mentioned in the complaint nor the notes had any distinguishing identification mark.The recovery of vote ID card and pocket diary is also doubtful as the said articles were not mentioned in the first information given by the complainant vide DD No.27-A. In fact, ASI Ami Chand in cross-examination admitted that persons from neighbourhood gathered around them while they were making investigation and no one supported the version of the complainant.Crl.

Four persons received stab injuries, they being Shahid (who resultantly died), Sheikh Pappu (PW-4), Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) and Mohit Dhingra (PW-19).Mohit Dhingra (PW-19) is the son of Rajesh Dhingra who, in turn, owns the restaurant.He (PW-19) would assist his father in running the establishment.Shahid (hereinafter referred to as "the deceased"), Sheikh Pappu (PW-4), Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) and Raju (the first informant) were employed in the restaurant- the former three as cooks and the fourth one as a bearer (waiter).The FIR (Ex.PW-1/B) was registered at 02:20 hours on 12.10.2008 on the basis of rukka (Ex.PW-12/C), sent by ASI Yashpal (PW-12) primarily founded on the statement (Ex.PW-12/B) made by Raju before PW-12, after the latter had reached the place of occurrence pursuant to intimation vide DD No.32A (Ex.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 2 of 33On the basis of evidence gathered during the investigation into the aforesaid FIR, the four appellants were put to trial in sessions case No.13/2009, they being Rahul @ Puneet @ Philip (Accused No.1), Pankaj Kumar (Accused No.2), Sandeep (Accused No.3) and Chet Ram @ Ravi (Accused No.4).The trial was held on the charge for offence under Sections 302 read with 34 IPC for the murder of Shahid, under Section 307 read with Section 34 IPC for attempted murder of Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) and Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5), and under Section 324/34 IPC for simple injuries inflicted with sharp edged weapon to Mohit Dhingra (PW-19).In addition, Rahul (A-1) was Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.The evidence showing that Mohit Dhindra (PW-19) is the son of the owner of the restaurant and would assist him in running the same and was present at the place when the incident occurred was not disputed at the trial.Further, the evidence showing that Sheikh Pappu Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 4 of 33 (PW-4), Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5), Shahid (the deceased) and Raju (the first informant) were employed in the restaurant has also gone unchallenged.The testimonies of Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) and Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) about the stabbing of Shahid in the kitchen area of the restaurant some time around 10.30 PM on 11.10.2008 is confirmed by the Medico Legal Report (MLC) of the deceased, prepared in Max Balaji Hospital where three of the injured persons had been taken.The admitted document shows that deceased Shahid, then in injured state, had been brought to the said hospital at 11.30 PM on 11.10.2008 with stab injury across his abdomen.The document notes that the deceased had been first taken to Shanti Mukund Hospital from where he was shifted to Max Balaji Hospital.Shahid was unconscious and not responding to the commands.His vital signs indicated he was in critical state.The deep injury across the abdomen showed owenter and intestines in exposed condition.He was referred to surgery department for further management.He succumbed to the injuries at 08:30 hours on 12.10.2008 during treatment.Information about the said event was communicated to the Police Station immediately whereupon it was recorded vide DD No.17A, PW-1/D by Head Constable Rajender Kumar (PW-1), the duty officer.It was also documented in the death Crl.Page 5 of 33 report (PW-20/C) prepared by Inspector Bageshwar Kaushik, the Investigating Officer (IO), who had prepared the inquest papers including brief facts (Ex.PW-20/D), with which he had later submitted application for post-mortem examination on the dead body (Ex.All injuries were antemortem in nature and fresh in duration.Time since death was approximately consistent with the time mentioned in the death certificate."Similarly, according to the MLC (Ex.PA4), Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) had been brought in the hospital at 11:50 PM with history of stab wound inflicted over the abdomen around 11 PM at Zaika Restaurant.The stab injury found suffered by Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) was described in the MLC as linear horizontal wound on the upper abdomen.Noticeably, both Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) and Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) were found by the examining medical officers to be conscious and oriented.The left subdiaphrag fossa and left paracardiac gutter were found full of fresh blood to the extent of 750 ml.Mohit Dhingra (PW-19) had also been taken, with the other victims of stabbing incident, to Shanti Mukund Hospital.He was entertained there and MLC (Ex.PW-7/A) in his regard was prepared Crl.PW-4 and PW-5 have stated in their respective depositions that though they were able to identify the appellants as the assailants, they had not known them by names or otherwise prior to the occurrence.PW-19, on his part, also did identify the appellants as the persons responsible for the stabbing incident, but referred to assistance given by the investigating officer in such identity being established.The defence has argued that the dock identification by PW-4, PW-5 and PW-19 should not be Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Mohit Dhingra (PW-19) avoided appearing as a witness on account of such threat perception for quite a long time.In these circumstances, the evasion on the part of Raju (the first informant) from deposing in the court cannot come as a matter of surprise or cause for adverse inference against the Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 11 of 33 prosecution.No wonder then that Sheikh Pappu (PW-4), Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) and Mohit Dhingra (PW-19) also showed hesitation in confirming that they knew A-1, A-2 and A-3 from before.The presence of Rahul (A-1) at the scene of the incident is proved beyond the pale of all doubts by the fact that he was apprehended at the spot.The FIR (Ex.PW1/B) noted the well documented fact that after the stabbing incident while his accomplices had run away, Rahul (A-1) had attempted to flee away in Maruti No.DL 3CM 7755 (hereinafter referred to as "the Maruti car") stationed in the parking.The Maruti car, the trial court record shows, was owned by mother of Rahul (A-1).The car was seized during the course of investigation formally vide seizure memo (Ex.PW-8/D) by the Investigating Officer, in the presence amongst others, Constable L.K. Sharma (PW-8) and ASI Yashpal (PW-12), Raju (the first informant) and Constable Dinesh Maan being other signatories.The FIR had mentioned that Rahul (A-1) was apprehended by Constable Lalit Kumar (PW-8) and Constable Dinesh, who was accompanying him, both on patrolling duty in the area, when their attention was drawn by the commotion resulting from the stabbing incident, they finding Rahul (A-1) trying to start the car to hurriedly move away.The evidence of PW-8, as confirmed by PW-12 to whom custody of Rahul (A-1) was handed over in due course, has gone unimpeached.In his statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. Rahul Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 12 of 33 (A-1) claimed that he was lifted from his house to be falsely implicated in the case.Suggestions to this effect were given during cross-examination of PW-12 and were suitably denied.Noticeably, however, no such suggestion was given to the Investigating Officer.Further, the evidence about the recovery of the Maruti car from the parking outside the restaurant has gone unchallenged.In these circumstances, the finding of the trial court that Rahul (A-1) was arrested from outside the restaurant in the parking lot after being apprehended by PW-10, assisted by the other Constable on beating duty with him, must be upheld.From this, it naturally follows that since Rahul (A-1) has not explained his presence at the place in any other manner, the evidence of PW-4, PW-5 and PW-19 about his visit to the restaurant and, consequently, their ability to identify him, at least on the basis of the said visit and the incident which happened during their stay, must be believed.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 12 of 33The evidence on record shows that the names of Pankaj (A-2) and Sandeep (A-3) on the basis of their past acquaintances and earlier visits in the company of Rahul (A-1) had figured in the DD No.32-A (Ex.PW-1/A) and the statement (Ex.PW-12/B) of Raju (the first informant) at very initial stages of the police proceedings.The FIR, however, contained an admission on the part of the first informant that he had not known Chet Ram (A-4) from before and that he had picked up the said name only on the basis of the exchange between the four said visitors to the restaurant on the date of the incident.Thus, the full identity of Chet Ram (A-4) would have been revealed, upon interrogation, by Rahul (A-1) around the time he was shown to Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 13 of 33 have made the disclosures (Ex.PW-12/E) to the IO in the presence, amongst others, of ASI Yashpal (PW-12).Be that as it may, A-2, A- 3 and A-4 were not immediately traceable.A copy of the FIR No.285/2008 (Ex.DW-2/B) was proved by Head Constable Dinesh (DW-2), MHC (R) of Police Station Gokulpuri.DW-2/B).It may be mentioned that the evidence of Head Constable Dinesh (DW-2) has also proved on record copy of FIR No.268/2008 (Ex.DW-2/A) regarding another case involving offence under Section 307/34 IPC pertaining to an incident of 29.09.2008 in which role of Sandeep (A-3) had also come up besides the names of two others.The FIR No.268/2008 of Police Station Gokulpuri indicates that Sandeep (A-3) was wanted by the officials of the Police Station Gokulpuri in Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 14 of 33In the case at hand, we need not go into the correctness or otherwise of allegations made against Pankaj (A-2) and Sandeep (A-3) in the case(s) of Gokulpuri.Information about the said arrests was conveyed by ASI Subhash Chand (PW-17), the IO of FIR No.285/2008 of Police Station Gokulpuri, to the Investigating Officer (PW-20) of the present case on 14.10.2008 vide DD No.41B. The Investigating Officer has proved that on the basis of his applications (Ex.PW-20/J and Ex.PW-20/M), the Magistrate at Karkardooma courts had granted him permission to interrogate and cause formal arrests of Pankaj (A-2) and Sandeep (A-3), in the case at hand, at a stage when both of them were being produced in the said court in connection with the extension of remand of case of Gokulpuri.The Investigating Officer has also proved formal arrest of Pankaj (A-2) and Sandeep (A-3) on 23.10.2008 and 27.10.2008 respectively after the said initial interrogation, vide memos Ex.PW-11/B and PW-10/B, in the Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 15 of 33 presence of Constable Avinash (PW-11) and Constable Vinod Kumar (PW-10) respectively.P.C.. While Sandeep (A-3) refused to join the TIP on the ground that he had been shown to the witnesses by the Investigating Officer in Police Station Gokulpuri, Pankaj (A-2) declined to join TIP stating that the witnesses including Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) knew him well before the date of incident.Interestingly, Pankaj (A-2) also admitted Crl.It is Raju (the first informant), who is stated to be responsible for serving at the table where the four appellants were sitting.Though PW-4 and PW-5 did Crl.Both have confirmed the role of A-2, A-3 and A-4 in assisting A-1 in the stabbing incident.PW-4 specifically pointed out Sandeep (A-3) as the person, who had caught hold of him to facilitate he to be stabbed in the abdomen by Rahul (A-1).Similarly, PW-5 identified Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 20 of 33 Pankaj (A-2) as the person who had held on to him at the stage when he was given the knife injury in the abdominal region by Rahul (A-1).Page 27 of 33 which he had openly used to cause injuries against four persons, including the owners son who had tried to intervene, would have added to the element of deterrence against others to come forward.The other two appellants viz., Rahul (A-1) and Chet Ram (A-4) are in custody.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 1 of 33This case may be described as one of murder over paaparh (a savoury Indian snack made with round flattened wafer-thin dough, generally served after roasting or frying).The four appellants herein have been held guilty, primarily on the basis of ocular evidence, on the allegations that they, on feeling infuriated over not being timely served with the savoury, in spite of demand and wait, in furtherance of their common intention knifed four persons, one after the other, one of the wounded ones dying as a result.The venue of the incident that occurred statedly at about 10.30 PM on 11.10.2008, which is subject matter of the case from which these appeals arise, was an eatery run in the name of "Zaika Bar and Restaurant", Community Centre, Karkardooma, Delhi (hereinafter Crl.Page 3 of 33 also charged for offence under Section 25 of Arms Act on the allegations that he had been found in possession of a country-made pistol of prohibited category with one live round of ammunition.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 3 of 33By judgment dated 30.03.2012 of the trial court, all the four appellants were held guilty, as charged, by the Additional Sessions Judge.By separate orders, each passed on 04.04.2012, the trial court awarded life imprisonment with fine of 1,000/- for offence under Section 302/34 IPC, rigorous imprisonment for five years with fine of 1,000/- for offence under Section 307/34 IPC and rigorous imprisonment for two years with fine of 500/- for offence under Section 324/34 IPC to each of the four convicts.It was directed that, in case of default in the payment of fine, they shall undergo simple imprisonment for one month, one month and fifteen days respectively.Rahul (A-1) was also awarded rigorous imprisonment for two years with fine of 500/- and in default simple imprisonment for 15 days for the offence under Section 25 of Arms Act. All the sentences were directed to run concurrently with benefit of Section 428 Cr.P.C. also accorded.Feeling aggrieved with the judgment dated 30.02.2012 and orders on sentence dated 04.04.2012, the convicted persons have come up with these appeals.PW-20/D1) reiterating the date and time of reported death in the hospital.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 5 of 33The post-mortem examination on the dead body of Shahid was conducted by Dr. S. Lal (PW-9), who proved his report (Ex.PW-9/A) confirming, with no contest from the defence, the fact that the autopsy had revealed the following ante mortem injuries :Surgical laprotomy would in middle abdomen from xiphi to paraumblicus region of size 21 x 0.1 cm with stitches and the drainage wound on left side middle abdomen.Stab incised wound surgically stitch, on opening the stitches the size of the wound is 4.5 x 0.2 cm x cavity deep, obliquely placed over left side upper abdomen.The lower outer angle of wound is acute and the other angle is blood.The wound is placed 5 cm away from midline and 16 cm below the left nipple.The wound enter the abdomen cavity in downward and backward direction by cutting lower inter costal cartilage and then given the nick in small intestine which is surgically repair in hospital.The total depth of the wound is approximate 14 cm.Stab incised wound surgically stitched, on opening the stitches the size of the wound is 3.2 x 0.2cm x cavity deep in left side upper abdomen, obliquely placed.The lower outer angel is acute and the other angle is blunt.The wound is placed 15 cm left to midline and 17 cm below the left nipple.The wound enter the abdomen cavity in downward and inward direction to cut the intestine Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 6 of 33Stab incised wound 0.9 x .0.2 x 1 cm deep present over left side lower chest over anterior axillary line, obliquely placed.The lower inner angle is acute and the other angle is blunt.Stab incised wound surgically altered by midline incision of size 1.6 x 0.2 cm x cavity deep over left side epigastric region, horizontally placed outer angle is acute and the other angle is merged with the incision given in the midline.The wound is placed just outer to midline and 2 cm below the xiphi-stenum.The wound enter the abdomen cavity and cut the distal part of greater curvature of stomach which is surgically repaired in hospital.The total depth of the wound is about 10 cm.Incised wound surgically stitched of size 6 x 0.1 cm x muscle deep over left dorsum of lower one-third of arm, obliquely placed and 4.5 cm above the knuckled of elbow."Opinion of the autopsy doctor is as follows :"the cause of death is hemmorahgic shock consequent upon stab injury on abdomen produced by single pointed sharp edged weapon and sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature.Injury No.1 was caused by surgical intervention and injury No.2 to 6 was caused by single pointed sharp edged weapon.Injury No.2,3,4 and 5 were sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature both individually and collectively.The autopsy report vividly shows that Shahid was stabbed thrice in the abdominal region and once in the lower chest on the left Crl.We reserve to a later stage our judgment on the issue as to whether this culpable homicide amounted to murder or not, in the light of the ocular evidence to be noted in due course hereinafter.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 7 of 33The evidence about the stab injuries suffered by Sheikh Pappu (PW-4), Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) and Mohit Dhingra (PW-19) is also beyond reproach.Dr. S.K.Tiwari (PW-6) has referred to MLCs (Ex.PA2 and PA4) of Sheikh Pappu and Mohd. Jaffar respectively as documents Mark A and Mark B respectively.The MLCs had been prepared in the casualty of Max Balaji Hospital.The authors of these MLCs have not been examined as the documents (Ex.PA-2 and Ex.PW-6 with Dr. A. Sabharwal had examined both the said injured persons and had recorded opinion thereupon in the general surgery unit of the hospital.Both the documents show that these persons had been earlier taken to Shanti Mukund Hospital from where they were shifted to Max Balaji Hospital.The MLC Ex.(PA2) in respect of Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) shows that he was brought in the hospital at 11:50 PM on 11.10.2008 with history of stab injury across abdomen suffered at 10 PM in the Zaika Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 8 of 33 Restaurant.The MLC noted that Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) had suffered two stab injuries, one in the abdominal region and the other on the mid right arm.In the opinion of PW-6, recorded in due course, the injuries were dangerous.Thus, the history of the injuries would have been narrated by the said persons on their own to the medical officer.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 8 of 33The injuries of Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) were apparently quite grave and serious.He has deposed that he had remained hospitalised for 20-22 days.During cross-examination of Dr. S K Tiwari (PW-6), questions were raised as to the correctness of the opinion given by him, when he referred to the operation notes (Ex.PW-6/DA) which prove that Sheikh Pappu (PW-4) had undergone surgical procedure, which had brought out that the incised wound was of the length of 4.5 cm linear (horizontal) in anterior axilla above the costal margin.PW-19 was also conscious and oriented and apparently would have given the history to the medical officer on his own.They would come to the place quite often and, thus, were known to the restaurant owner and staff by their names and faces.PW-1/A) based on telephonic intimation given by the first informant (Raju) and also in his statement (Ex.PW- 12/B) leading to the registration of the FIR.The first informant (Raju) has not been examined by the prosecution.The fact that Raju was employed as a bearer in the restaurant has not been questioned by the defence at any stage.It has to be remembered that Raju was a menial employee for whom an incident of such nature where his co-worker had been stabbed to death in front of his eyes would have come as a matter of utter shock.The trial court record shows that PW-19, the owner of the restaurant had received threat calls asking him to desist from giving evidence at the trial.He brought the facts relating to such intimidatory tactics, which could not have been made but at the instance of the defence, to the notice of the learned trial court on several occasions, seeking measures to be taken for his security.It shows arrest of Pankaj (A-2) and Sandeep (A-3), along with another associate, at a time when they were also found in possession of a button actuated knife, a country-made firearm and ammunition respectively.Interestingly, Ved Prakash Sharma (DW-1), father of Sandeep (A-3) also appeared as a witness in his defence to confirm his arrest by the police officials of Police Station Gokulpuri on 13.10.2008 setting up the theory of he having been picked up from the house rather than in the circumstances narrated in the FIR No.285/2008 (Ex.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 15 of 33The Investigating Officer (PW-20) has proved that after he had arrested Pankaj (A-2) on 23.10.2008 with the permission of the Metropolitan Magistrate, he had moved an application (Ex.PW-20/K) for test identification parade (TIP) and the matter was made over by the jurisdictional Magistrate for necessary action to Mr. Vivek Kumar Guliya, Metropolitan Magistrate.Similarly, after Sandeep (A-3) had been arrested on 27.10.2008, with permission of the Metropolitan Magistrate dealing with the Gokulpuri case, the Investigating Officer had moved an application (Ex.C1) for TIP to be conducted in this case.This application came to be dealt with eventually by Ms. Sunaina Sharma, Metropolitan Magistrate.Page 16 of 33 before the Metropolitan Magistrate at the time of TIP (Ex.PA-7) that he was present at the site at the time of incident though the role alleged against him was questionable.Chet Ram (A-4) came to be arrested in FIR No.279/2008 under Sections 302/323/324/201/109/212/34 IPC of Police Station Gokulpuri.Upon information in this regard coming his Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 17 of 33 way, the Investigating Officer (PW-20), moved an application (Ex.The Investigating Officer had made a fresh request informing the Magistrate that TIP of the accused was to be got conducted and so the jail administration be directed to ensure that he was produced in muffled face.The Metropolitan Magistrate, however, recorded his displeasure over the fact that the Investigating Officer himself was not present in the court and issued show cause notice to him for the following day.He (A-4) was formally arrested in the prison as per arrest memo (Ex.PW-15/A).Since no fact is shown to have been discovered pursuant to the statement attributed to Chet Ram (A-4), the document described as disclosure statement (Ex.PW-5/C) cannot be read against him.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 17 of 33In the wake of his arrest on 17.11.2008, Chet Ram (A-4) was produced in the Court of the Metropolitan Magistrate on 18.11.2008 Crl.Both of them were employed, with Shahid (the deceased), as cooks in the restaurant of Mohit Dhingra (PW-19).They would not know any of the appellants prior to the incident by names or faces.PW-4 and PW-5 testified that after about five minutes, four persons including the two, who had come earlier, came into the kitchen and one of them at that stage was holding a knife.Both identified Rahul (A-1) as the person wielding the cutting instrument.The two witnesses stated that while each of them including Shahid (the deceased) were held by one each of the said persons, the one wielding the knife, i.e. Rahul (A-1), stabbed them, starting with Shahid (the deceased), one after the other.He had tried to intervene.But, Rahul (A-1) had attacked him with knife aiming at his stomach upon which he had tried to save himself by ducking and received a stab injury on his left knee.He has stated that he had raised alarm and the assailants ran away.Both PW-4 and PW-5 deposed that after receiving the stab injuries they had become unconscious.In these circumstances, we are constrained to reject the evidence about the recovery of the weapon of offence (the knife).A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 22 of 33As mentioned earlier, two Constables of the local police station, viz., Constable Lalit Kumar Sharma (PW-8) and Constable Dinesh were on patrolling duty of the area of the restaurant around the time the incident was happening.It is but natural that after the stabbing when the assailants were fleeing away, there was commotion.The defence did not object at any stage to this reason.Thus, on the seizure we have the word of ASI Yashpal (PW-12) and Constable Lalit Kumar (PW-8) but on recovery of the said articles from the possession of Rahul (A-1), the prosecution rests its case on the sole word of Constable Lalit Kumar (PW-8).A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 23 of 33In our opinion, the evidence of PW-8 deserves to be believed.It appears from the said document that the Medical Officer, who prepared it had initially recorded the history of stab injury to be one inflicted by a colleague of Shahid.The word "colleague", however, was scored off and instead the medical officer added the words "unknown person".The argument of the defence is that since even the MLC (Ex.PA-4) of Mohd. Jaffar (PW-5) shows the history narrated to the medical officer attributing a role to an "unknown person", the involvement of the appellants is rendered doubtful inasmuch as, per the prosecution case, they were regular customers of the restaurant and would be "known" to the restaurant staff rather than be described as "unknown persons".At the same time, the appellants argued, the reference to stabbing by a "colleague" initially recorded in the MLC of the deceased indicates the possibility that the restaurant staff, for some reason, had gone berserk in the kitchen area and may have stabbed or injured each other in the process.We have considered the above noted arguments of the appellants but find no substance therein.The absence of Raju (the first informant) from the witness box has been duly explained.The same was collected, inter alia, vide seizure memo (Ex.PW-12/D).In the facts and circumstances, it was not difficult for the four assailants to come in and round up the intended victims holding them physically and leaving them with stab wounds.The appellants had come together to the restaurant and had ordered drinks.They had demanded savouries to be served along with the drinks.The order was not complied with.The delay angered them.This led to the two of them going into the kitchen to lodge protest.Page 31 of 33Given the nature of charge brought home, in our opinion, the sentences awarded against the appellants cannot be said to be disproportionate or unduly harsh.The appellants Pankaj (A-2) and Sandeep (A-3) are on bail, the sentences awarded against each of them having been suspended, pending consideration of their respective appeals by orders dated 21.12.2014 and 05.12.2014 respectively.They are directed to surrender to custody within fifteen days of this judgment to undergo the sentences awarded against each of them in the impugned Crl.A.Nos.549/2012 & conn.Page 32 of 33 judgment and order.The learned trial judge (successor judge) and the Station House Officer of Police Station Anand Vihar are directed to take necessary steps to ensure due compliance.Page 32 of 33

(01/12/2017) PER JUSTICE G.S. AHLUWALIA:This Criminal Appeal has been filed under Section 374 of Cr.P.C. against the judgment and sentence dated 24-8-2007 passed by IVth A.S.J., Morena, District Morena in Sessions Trial No.44/1994 by which the appellant No. 1 Ramkrishna @ Sanju has been convicted under Sections 341, 307, and 324 of I.P.C. and the appellants No.2, 3 and 4 have been convicted under Sections 341, 323 of I.P.C. Appellant No.1, has been sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment of 5 years and a 2 Criminal Appeal No.686 of 2007 fine of Rs.2000/- with default imprisonment for offence under Section 307 of I.P.C. and rigorous imprisonment of 1 years and a fine of Rs.2000/- for offence under Section 324 of I.P.C. and a fine of Rs.500/- for offence under Section 341 of I.P.C. The appellants No. 2 and 3 have been sentenced to the period already undergone by them and a fine of Rs.1000/- with default imprisonment for offence under Section 323 of I.P.C. and a fine of Rs. 500/- for offence under Section 341 of I.P.C. and the appellant No. 4 has been sentenced to pay fine of Rs. 500/- and Rs. 1000/- for offence under Sections 341 and 323 of I.P.C. respectively.The necessary facts for the disposal of the present appeal in short are that Shriram Sharma, the father of the complainant Rajesh Sharma, appellant Siyaram and Prosecution witness Ramnath Sharma (P.W.9) are real brothers.One Ratiram is a cousin brother and was issueless, therefore, he had given his property to Ramlakhan and appellant Ramkrishna by way of "will" and "sale deed" and accordingly Ramlakhan and appellant Ramkrishna were in possession of the same.The parties were at loggerhead due to this property dispute.One civil suit as well as criminal cases had taken place between the parties.According to the prosecution story, two days prior to 21- 6-1993, the complainant Rajesh had come to his village to look after his fields.His uncle, namely Ramnath Sharma and his son Shrikant Sharma had also come to the village and were staying in the house of Ramswaroop Goswami.On the date of incident, the appellant Siyaram and Ramnath had a talk in the house of Siyaram on the issue of partition.The talks took place in a cordial atmosphere.Thereafter, the complainant went to fetch water from a well.When he reached in front of the house of Siyaram, he was caught hold by the appellant Bhagwati and appellant Ramlakhan gave a lathi blow 3 Criminal Appeal No.686 of 2007 on his head.The appellants Siyaram and Ramkrishna @ Sanju also started assaulting him by lathis, as a result of which the complainant Rajesh Sharma fell down.On hearing the screams of the complainant, Ramswaroop Bharti (P.W.8), Ramnath Sharma (P.W.9) and Shrikant Sharma (P.W.10) reached on the spot.At that time, the appellant Ramkrishna @ Sanju went to the roof of his house and fired a gun shot, but the said fire did not hit the complainant Rajesh Sharma, but a pellet hit on the forehead of Ramjilal (P.W.5), who was sitting in front of the door of his house.The F.I.R. Ex. P. 11 was lodged.The police after concluding the investigation, filed the charge sheet.The Trial Court framed charges for offence under Sections 341,307 of I.P.C. against the appellant no.1 and under Sections 341, 323 of I.P.C. against the remaining appellants.The appellants abjured their guilt and pleaded not guilty.The Trial Court after recording evidence and hearing both the parties, convicted appellant No. 1 Ramkrishna @ Sanju under Section 341,307, and 324 of I.P.C. and the appellants no.2, 3 and 4 under Section 341,323 of I.P.C.The counsel for the appellants did not challenge the findings of conviction recorded by the Trial Court.It is submitted by the counsel for the appellants that the parties have resolved their disputes and an application for permission to compromise was also filed before this Court which has been verified by the Principal Registrar, of this Court, therefore, the appellants may be acquitted or may be saddled with the jail sentence of period already undergone.Considered the submissions made by the Counsel for the appellants."Statement of Accused/Appellant No.1 Ramkrishna @ Sanju, No.2 Bhagwati, No.3 Ramlakhan & No.4 Siyaram and Complainant/victim No.1 Rajesh Sharma and Ramjilal are recorded.Matter perused, inquired and heard as to factum of compromise.After verifying parties present before me that they have arrived at compromise voluntarily, without any threat, inducement and coercion.According to under Section 320 of Cr.P.C. offences under Section 323,324 & 341 of I.P.C. are compoundable.But offence under Section 307 of IPC is not compoundable."Thus, the application filed under Section 320(2) of Cr.P.C. is allowed and the appellant no.1 is acquitted of charge under Sections 324, 341 of I.P.C. and the remaining appellants are acquitted of the charge under Sections 323,341 of I.P.C.We have found that in certain cases, the High Courts have accepted the compromise 5 Criminal Appeal No.686 of 2007 between the parties when the matter in appeal was pending before the High Court against the conviction recorded by the trial court.Obviously, such cases are those where the accused persons have been found guilty by the trial court, which means the serious charge of Section 307 IPC has been proved beyond reasonable doubt at the level of the trial court.There would not be any question of accepting compromise and acquitting the accused persons simply because the private parties have buried the hatchet.As the parties who belong to one family have settled their dispute, it is, in our opinion, not necessary to keep the appellants in jail for a longer period.Apart from the fact that a settlement has taken place between the parties, there are few other circumstances that persuade us to interfere on the question of sentence awarded to the appellants.The parties are related to each other.Both Appellant Nos. 2 and 3 were at the time of the incident in their twenties.Thus, it is clear that where the offence is non- compoundable and the parties have come to a compromise, then the factum of compromise can always be considered while determining the question of sentence.If the facts of the present appeal are considered, then it would be clear that according to the prosecution case, the appellant had fired on Rajesh Sharma but the gun shot missed and caused pellet injuries to Ramjilal who was sitting under the tree.The appellant has been convicted under Section 307 of I.P.C. for firing at complainant Rajesh Sharma.The appellant has been convicted for offence under Section 324 of I.P.C. for causing pellet injuries to Ramjilal.The other injuries 11 Criminal Appeal No.686 of 2007 found on the body of complainant Rajesh Sharma were simple in nature and appellant Ramlakhan and Siyaram who had caused those injuries, were sentenced with fine and for the period already undergone by him.Thus, he has remained in jail for a period of 105 days.The complainant has withdrawn the criminal revision in the light of the compromise arrived at between the parties.Accordingly, maintaining the fine amount, the jail sentence awarded to the appellant no.1 for offence under Section 307 of I.P.C. is modified to the period already undergone.Consequently, the appeal is partly allowed.The appellant No.1 Ramkrishna @ Sanju is acquitted of the charge under Sections 324 and 341 of I.P.C. and the appellants Bhagwati, Ramlakhan and Siyaram are acquitted of the charge under Sections 323, 341 of IPC.12 Criminal Appeal No.686 of 2007The conviction of appellant No.1 for offence under Section 307 of I.P.C. is hereby affirmed and while maintaining the fine amount, he is sentenced to the period undergone by him.Accordingly, the judgment and sentence dated 24-8- 2007 passed by IVth A.S.J., Morena in Sessions Trial No. 44/1994 is modified to the extent mentioned above.The appellant No.1 is on bail.His bail bonds and surety bonds stand discharged.

Ex.P-1 was lodged at police station Bameetha and injured Phoolwati was referred for medical examination at P.H.C. Bamitha where PW-7 Dr. B.L. Bindra has examined her and found various injuries as described in Ex.After due investigation the charge sheet was filed.Applicants abjured the guilt and produced defence witness Ganesh Singh and Ku.Ranjana Singh alleging that no incident took place and Phoolwati fell down and received injury.I have gone through the statement of Phoolwati injured duly supported by PW-2 Brijesh Kumar, PW-3 Aradhana Tiwari, PW-4 Jeewan Singh corroborated by medical evidence Ex.P-9 given by Dr. B.L. Bindra who examined the complainant on the same day and found various abrasions.After appreciation of evidence, the trial Court has convicted and sentenced the applicants under sections 452 and 323/34 of I.P.C. and sentenced as mentioned above.On appeal, the learned appellate court has affirmed the conviction and sentenced passed by the trial Court.The incident is of 1995 which took place between two girls on the dispute of fetching water from handpump.At the time of incident applicant Khub Singh was 55 years of age and at present he must be 72 years of age.The applicants seem to be the first offenders and no previous criminal conduct of the applicants has been proved by the prosecution.In these circumstances, the applicants can be released on the period already undergone.Resultantly, these criminal revisions are partly allowed.Let the fine amount be deposited in the trial Court within three months from the date of this order, failing which they shall suffer additional R.I. for 3 months.Out of the total recovered fine amount of Rs.6,000/-, Rs.3000/- be paid to the complainant PW-1 Phoolwati as compensation under section 357(1) of Cr.P.C.With the aforesaid modification in the sentence, these criminal revisions stand disposed of.A copy of this order be sent to the trial Court for information and compliance.C.C. as per rules.(S.C.

Crime No. 182-A of 1989 was registered at about 6.45 a.m. on 23-11-1989 at the instance of Shri Jai Parkash Singh H. C. 24 according to which Shri Sanjay Singh sustained injuries.However, the assailants were unknown.In both the F.I.Rs.the name of the petitioner was not mentioned.In all these three charge sheets the petitioner was not charge-sheeted although it is stated in the return that the name of the petitioner was mentioned therein as an accused person against whom the investigations were pending.In these charge sheets there were 19 accused persons out of whom 15 have already been enlarged on bail by the Sessions Judge, Sultanpur.According to the petitioner, there is absolutely no case against him.After Shri Sanjay Singh who returned from London after his treatment on 1st February, 1990 at his behest, pressure and undue influence the case against the petitioner was cooked up by the police and C.I.D. of U.P. It has been alleged that Sanjay Singh is the brother's son-in-law of Shri V. P. Singh, the present Prime Minister of India and is very close of him; and as such he is exercising tremendous influence on the Government of U.P. including CID and Police of U.P. as a result thereof lie has been able to fabricate a false case against the petitioner after his return from England.As already mentioned, Shri Sanjay Singh is doing so out of political vendetta as he considers the petitioner responsible for his defeat in his Assembly constituency in Amethi.In fact he is determined humiliated the petitioner by getting him arrested and paraded in the streets.According to the petitioner, there is no evidence to connect him with the commission of the crime nor was his name mentioned in the F.I.R. That is why no charge sheet under S. 173, Cr.P.C. could be submitted in the Court by the police till 21-5-1990 although three charge sheets in the case were already submitted in the Court by the police.This case was fabricated at the instance of Shri Sanjay Singh and police investigating Team added S. 120B, I.P.C. in the charge sheet already filed before the C.J.M., Sultanpur on the basis of evidence already recorded.No challan could be put up against the petitioner without any fresh evidence.S. 173 is a very important step as it requires investigation to be completed without unnecessary delay and in this case the petitioner has been charge sheeted after six months.After 7th May, 1990 when the last charge sheet was filed in Court and the petitioner, at that stage, as well was yet to be challenged, the respondents, under undue pressure from Shri Sanjay Singh got non-bailable warrant issued on 14-5-1990 from Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sultanpur against the petitioner which was endorsed to the Commissioner of Police, Delhi for execution.After the said warrant of arrest was brought to Delhi and again endorsed in favor of various Delhi Police Functionaries like Additional Commissioner of Police, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Assistant Commissioner of Police and finally to Inspector of Police of P.S. Mehrauli who was authorised to execute the warrant and consequently to effect the arrest of the petitioner in Delhi within the jurisdiction of Delhi High Court.Since the petitioner was about to be arrested and deprived of his liberty, he was constrained to file the present civil writ petition under Art. 226 of the Constitution for restraining the respondents from arresting the petitioner in case Crime No. 182-A/89 P.S. Munshi Ganj, Disstt.Sultanpur, U.P. In this writ petition the petitioner has also prayed for quashing the proceedings in Case Crime No. 182-A/89 and the warrant of arrest issued by C.J.M. Sultanpur against him.During the course of arguments, however, Mr. Bhardwaj, learned counsel for the petitioner, did not press for quashing of proceedings and the impugned warrant although the arguments were addressed by him that there was no legal justification for the Magistrate for issuing of such impugned warrant.However, he confined himself only to the prayer of restraining the respondents from arresting the petitioner and for enlarging him on the anticipatory bail.The petitioner has also brought to our notice that he has also challenged the charge sheet and connected proceedings submitted before the Magistrate in the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad - Lucknow Bench - and a notice has been ordered to be issued by that Court.Further proceedings, have also been stayed.Certified copy of the order dated 25-6-1990 has been placed on record.Respondents 2 and 3 have denied that the case has been fabricated out of political vendetta and under undue influence of Shri Sanjay Singh.They have also raised preliminary objections about the maintainability of the writ petition.Petition allowed.

conducted the investigation.According to him, during the investigation, he came to know the accused have committed murder and since they are confined in Central Prison, Salem in connection with some other case, on 29.12.2009, he took them into police custody.During such custody, the accused voluntarily gave confession and recorded the same in the presence of P.W.8 Village Administrative Officer and based on the disclosure statement of A1, P.W.13 recovered knife[M.O.4] and Gold chain[M.O.1].Similarly, on the basis of the disclosure statement of A-2, he recovered ear stud [M.O.2], silver anklet [M.O.3] worn by the deceased.P.W.14, Doctor, working in the Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College & Hospital, Salem, conducted postmortem autopsy on the skeleton and issued Postmortem Certificate.P.W.15, Inspector of Police, attached to the respondent police has stated that he continued the investigation, prepared an observation mahazar and recovered material objects and after completion of investigation, he filed the charge sheet against the accused.When the above incriminating materials were put to the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C., he denied the same as false.He did not examine any witnesses nor marked any documents.Challenging the above conviction and sentence, the appellant/first accused is before this Court.We have heard Mr.The first and foremost circumstance is that the appellant/first accused and the deceased loved each other before the occurrence.Both the first accused and the deceased went together from Dindugal.To establish the same, the prosecution has examined P.W.5, the father of the deceased.According to him, A1 used to come to his house frequently and one day the deceased was found missing and he was under impression that the deceased would have went only along with the appellant/first accused.P.W.6 is the mother of the deceased.According to her, both the accused and the deceased were moving closely and one day the deceased was found missing and she enquired her co-employees, who told her that the deceased went along with the appellant/first accused and when she called the deceased over cell phone, the deceased told her that she is with the appellant, thereafter, the cell phone was switched off.Since she was under the impression that the deceased is with the accused, she did not give any complaint.From the evidence of P.Ws.5 and 6, it cannot be concluded that both the accused and the deceased were seen together prior to the occurrence, the co-employee was not examined to prove the deceased went along with the appellant/first accused.Except the same, no other evidence was available to prove that both the accused and the deceased were together prior to the occurrence.Hence, the last seen together theory was not proved by the prosecution.The next circumstance is recovery of the jewels worn by the deceased, which were recovered from the accused.There are lot of contradiction in the prosecution case.According to P.W.9, the Village Administrative Officer of Vellaru, on 15.12.2009, all the accused appeared before him and voluntarily given an extra judicial confession and he recorded their confession and thereafter, he produced the accused before P.W.13, the Inspector of Police and the Inspector of Police arrested the accused and on such arrest, they voluntarily given confession and based on the disclosure statement of A-1, the Inspector of Police recovered M.Os.1 to 3 jewels worn by the deceased.But P.W.13, deposed that only during the investigation, he came to know that the accused have committed murder and all the accused confined in Central Prison, Salem and he filed the custody application before the Judicial Magistrate Court, Salem and he took the accused in police custody on 29.12.2009 and in the police custody, the accused voluntarily given confession and recorded the same in the presence of P.W.8, Village Administrative Officer of Deevatipatti and based on the disclosure statement of A-1, P.W.13 recovered Chain (M.O.1) and knife [M.O.4] and based on the disclosure statement of A-2, he recovered Ear stud [M.O.2] and silver anklet [M.O.3] worn by the deceased.P.W.8 also confirmed the same.Hence, there are two set of evidence given by the prosecution regarding recovery of material objects.As per the evidence of P.W.9, on 15.12.2009, all the accused appeared before him and given extra judicial confession and he produced them before the respondent police and the Inspector of Police arrested them and the accused voluntarily given confession and based on the disclosure statement, P.W.13 recovered the material objects.According to P.W.13, he came to know that the accused have committed murder and all the accused confined in Central Prison, Salem, and he filed an application before the Judicial Magistrate Court, Salem and he took the accused in the police custody on 29.12.2009, and in the police custody, the accused voluntarily given confession and based on the disclosure statement of the accused, P.W.13 recovered the materials objects.Hence, the above said contradiction create doubts about the recovery of jewels worn by the deceased.It is also the evidence of P.W.5, in his cross examination, that the police has informed him that the jewels were recovered from the dead body.Considering all the above evidence, we are of the considered view that the prosecution failed to prove the arrest and also consequential recovery of jewels of the deceased.In the above circumstances, in absence of any other circumstance available to prove the guilt of the accused, we are of the considered view that the prosecution has failed to prove the guilt of the accused beyond any reasonable doubt.Hence, the appellant/first accused is entitled for acquittal.In the result, this Criminal Appeal is allowed.The conviction and sentence imposed by the learned III Additional District and Sessions Judge, Salem, in Sessions Case No.299 of 2012 dated 28.01.2014 is set aside and the appellant/first accused is acquitted and bail bond, if any executed by him shall stand cancelled and the fine amounts, if any, paid by him is ordered to be refunded forthwith.

PW 15/A) as noticed below does not support the appellant."After piercing the skin and subcutaneous tissues over 4 buttock, it pierces the left lateral wall of rectum then came out of the anterior wall of rectum and peritoneum and enter the pelvic cavity.Rectal vessels are found cut on the way on its way moving upwards and medially it perforates the ileum at multiple places about 10 cm proximal to the illiocecal junction with the contents of ileum and rectum are leaking into the peritoneal cavity mesentry and mesenteric vessels are also found cut on the way.Tract of wound: about 12 cm long.Direction of tract: from back to forward, upwards and medially."JUSTICE DEEPA SHARMA DEEPA SHARMA, J:The present appeal has been filed against the judgment dated 24th November, 2010 by which the appellant was convicted for the offence under Section 302 IPC, and also against the order dated 29th November, 2010 by which the appellant was sentenced to imprisonment for life with fine of Rs. 10,000/- and in default, CRL.A.87/2011 Page 1 of 33 to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months for the offence under Section 302 IPC.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 1 of 33The autopsy doctor found the following four injuries on the dead body:-a) Incised wound stitched 2.2 cm X 0.5 cm obliquely placed over the left hip, its margin being clean cut with extravasation of blood seen over the margin, the upper end of the wound being pointed and 10 cm below the sacral promontory and lower end being blunt, 83 cm above the left heel pad, the midpoint being 4 cm left to the natal cleft.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 5 of 33CRL.A.87/2011 Page 5 of 33Kailashwati (PW-2), mother of the deceased made a statement which was recorded wherein she had stated that her son had told her that there were three assailants who had picked up quarrel with him and caused injuries by hitting him with legs and CRL.A.87/2011 Page 6 of 33 fists and that he was stabbed by the appellant on his way to toilet.During investigation, it was found that the incident was witnessed by one Babbi Singh (PW-1), another local resident of the same slum cluster.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 6 of 33The appellant was arrested on 29th October, 2007 vide arrest memo (Ex. PW 13/B).The appellant made a disclosure statement (Ex. PW 15/F) admitting his involvement and also giving the information that the knife used by him in the incident was lying in his jhuggi which he could get recovered.The clothes of the deceased and the weapon of offence along with blood sample preserved during autopsy were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).The reports Ex. PX-1 and PX-2 were received.Blood of human origin was detected on the knife (P1), Trousers (P-3) and Underwear (P-4).The blood group however could not be ascertained.Prosecution has examined 15 witnesses.The alleged eye witness Babbi Singh, PW 1 has not supported the prosecution case and was declared hostile.The learned trial Judge, during the course of arguments, on the question about the propriety of the procedure adopted by ASI Dev Raj (PW-9) and Inspector Babulal, (PW-14) during investigation, recalled both the witnesses and questioned them.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 8 of 33Relying on the testimony of the mother of the deceased and CRL.A.87/2011 Page 9 of 33 treating the statement of the deceased made to his mother and his statement (PW 9/A basis of recording FIR) the learned trial court had reached to the conclusion that it was the appellant who had caused the injury no.1 on the person of the deceased.The learned trial court has also relied on the Post Mortem Report (Ex. PW 15/A) wherein the doctor has opined that the injury no. 1 was sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.The ld.Trial Court has also relied on the recovery of the weapon of offence i.e. the knife (P1) from the house of the appellant pursuant of his disclosure statement and the opinion of the doctor that injury no.1 has been caused either by P1 or any other weapon of the same nature.The findings of FSL whereby human blood was detected on P1 (knife), has also been relied upon while holding the accused guilty of the offence of murder.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 9 of 33The appellant has challenged the said verdict on various grounds.The first and foremost argument of learned counsel of the CRL.A.87/2011 Page 10 of 33 appellant is that the appellant is not involved in this offence and is innocent and falsely implicated and secondly that on the facts of the case no offence of murder has been made out and thus the conviction under Section 302 IPC is bad in law.It was culpable homicide.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 14 of 33The cause of death of Laxman were the injuries received by him on 22.10.2007 by appellant/accused.In order to prove that the appellant had caused the injuries including injury No. 1 upon the person of Laxman (deceased), the testimony of the mother of the deceased Laxman and statement of deceased (PW 9/A) are material and relevant evidence.From the statement of PW-9, the investigation officer, it is apparent that when he reached at the spot on the basis of information received from PCR, the injured Laxman was present near the public toilet with his mother (PW2).In cross-examination of PW 9 and PW2, presence of mother of deceased Laxman with him after incident is not disputed.There is ample evidence which prove that she had accompanied her son (injured) to hospital and brought him back CRL.A.87/2011 Page 15 of 33 to home from there.The presence of the mother with the injured at the place of occurrence thus stands proved.However, PW 2 is not an eye witness.She has stated that she reached at the spot as soon as she learned that her son had been stabbed.She has clearly deposed that she was present in her house and on hearing the news that her son had been stabbed near the public toilet, she reached there and saw her son bleeding from his buttock and having wound on right eye-brow and forehead.She was, therefore, possibly the first known person who met her son and it was natural for the injured to narrate the incident to his mother.The factum of fight between appellant and Laxman stands proved by the fact that PCR had received the information from mobile no. 9910276881 regarding this fight which it recorded vide Ex. PW11/A .PW9 ASI Dev Raj who reached at spot, removed the injured to hospital and recorded his statement Ex. PW9/A. PW9 ASI Dev Raj also recorded statement of mother of Laxman who has clearly stated that Laxman told him that he was stabbed by Teda.(vi) A dying declaration which suffers from infirmity such as the deceased was unconscious and could never make any statement cannot form the basis of conviction.He was taken to Hindu Rao Hospital where he died and his death summary was prepared and is proved as PW12/A. Dr. Aryan Bansal had counter signed the death summary and deposed that the condition of Laxman deteriorated and he became serious and died on 24 th October, 2007 at 7.30 am.Thereafter, the post-mortem of the dead body of Laxman was done.The doctor has also opined that injury no. 1 and its correspondent internal injuries have been caused by a sharp edged weapon and was sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 22 of 33The MLC describe injury No. 1 as 2 cm CIW over left hip muscle deep and the post mortem report also shows the same diameter of external injury at the same place.No other injury on the hip or any other part of the body has been found which CRL.A.87/2011 Page 23 of 33 according to the doctor's opinion was fatal.At the time of post mortem, the doctor also found an injury on the shoulder of the deceased.It was treated as a minor injury and Laxman was discharged after first aid.This was a lapse, and a serious one.Although the injuries were found stitched by doctors of Hindu Rao Hospital, there is no record of the stitching in BJR Hospital.The injury, it is apparent went inside the body of the deceased and had damaged vital organs.There is no doubt that injury no. 1 mentioned in the post-mortem report is the same injury no. 1 mentioned in the MLC of the deceased which has proved fatal.However, it is also apparent, that Laxman after first aid/ treatment was satisfied with his recovery.He too did not feel that the said injury was life threatening.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 23 of 33CRL.A.87/2011 Page 24 of 33CRL.A.87/2011 Page 24 of 33It is argued by the learned counsel for the appellant that the injury no. 1 shown in Ex. PW 15/A was not the immediate cause of death but the deceased had died due to lack of care by the attendants of the deceased and lack of proper treatment at the hospital.Let us examine the evidence on record and see if this argument finds some support even by preponderance.Moreover, the post mortem report (Ex.PW15/A) shows the track of the wounds as under:-CRL.A.87/2011 Page 25 of 33CRL.A.87/2011 Page 25 of 33This apparently shows that a very deep injury of the depth of about 12 cm had been caused and also in such a manner that it had damaged several internal vital organs.In order to bring home the guilt of the accused for the offence of murder under Section 300 (3) of IPC, the prosecution is required to prove that act of the appellant had intended to cause bodily injury and the bodily injury intended to be inflicted was sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.The CRL.A.87/2011 Page 26 of 33 prosecution thus is required to prove that the appellant had intended to cause bodily injury No. 1 on person of Laxman which as discussed above was sufficient to cause death in ordinary course of nature.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 26 of 33Although, the prosecution has successfully proved that the appellant was the perpetrator but the question remains whether injury No. 1 it was the intended injury.The statement of deceased (Ex. PW 9/A) (then an injured) shows that a fight had ensued between the deceased and the appellant and his co-accused at the time when the deceased was going to the toilet.He was interrupted by the appellant and the appellant made an enquiry from the deceased as to where was he going.Upon that the deceased asked the appellant to mind his own business.It was at this time that there was a fight and the deceased (then injured) was beaten by the appellant and it was in this fight that he received injury.The call made to the PCR and recorded in the PCR vide Ex. PW 11/A shows that the information of incident CRL.A.87/2011 Page 27 of 33 was that of a quarrel.The evidence shows that there was a long standing enmity between the families of the two brothers (A-1 and PW-2).Neither Purushottam Reddy nor PW-1 and PW-2 were armed with any weapon.For the foregoing reasons, we convict the appellant for the offence of culpable homicide not amounting to murder.By order dated 29th November, 2010, the appellant was sentenced to imprisonment for life with fine of Rs. 10,000/- and in default, to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months for the offence under Section 302 IPC by the trial court.This court has now convicted the appellant for the offence punishable under CRL.A.87/2011 Page 31 of 33 Section 304 IPC -'culpable homicide not amounting to murder'.From the nominal roll of the appellant, it is apparent that he has been in judicial custody since 30th October, 2007 till date which includes the under trial period from 30th October, 2007 to 29th November, 2010 and from 30th November, 2010 till date, he has been in judicial custody as a convict.He, therefore, is in judicial custody for the total period of about 6 years and 10 months approximately.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 31 of 33Keeping in mind all the facts and circumstances of the case, we sentenced the accused for the period already undergone by him for the offence under Section 304 IPC -'culpable homicide not amounting to murder'.The appeal stands disposed of in the above terms.The Registry is directed to send a copy of the order to the Jail Superintendent, Central Jail, Tihar for compliance and to supply the same to the appellant.CRL.A.87/2011 Page 32 of 33CRL.A.87/2011 Page 32 of 33A copy of this judgment be sent to the trial court.(DEEPA SHARMA) JUDGE (SANJIV KHANNA) JUDGE JULY 22 , 2014 sapna CRL.A.87/2011 Page 33 of 33CRL.A.87/2011 Page 33 of 33

The appellant Daya Shankar Giri has preferred this appeal against the judgment passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Court No. 3, Ballia on 20.12.2012 in S.T. No. 3A of 2009 (State vs. Daya Shankar and others), registered as Case Crime No. 28 of 2008, under Sections 376, 313, 506 I.P.C., Police Station Phephana, District Ballia, whereby the accused appellant was convicted for 10 years R.I. and Rs. 5000/- as fine under Section 376 I.P.C., for 10 years R.I. and Rs. 5000/- as fine under Section 313 I.P.C. and for 2 years R.I. and a fine of Rs. 1000/- under Section 506 Sub Clause (2) I.P.C. with default stipulation.All the sentences were to run concurrently.The prosecution case as unfolded is that, a written report was lodged by Nirmala Devi written by Shamsher Giri stating that she is resident of Police Station Phephana, District Ballia.Her daughter Ranjana Giri aged about 17 years was taken away by the accused, 3 to 4 months prior to 28.02.2008 and committed rape on her.When the victim came back to her house and narrated the whole story, the complainant went to the house of the accused to rebuke him but Daya Shankar Giri, Kamal Giri and Kripa Shankar Giri threatened to murder the complainant and said that her husband was a lunatic and she should stay away.They further said that they had nobody to take care of them and they were beggars, if they tried to lodge the case, they would be murdered.The complainant kept quiet since she was helpless.Her daughter got pregnant due to rape committed by Daya Shankar Giri.When the complainant revealed this fact to her neighbours, they asked Daya Shankar Giri about the matter.At this Daya Shankar Giri threatened to kill them too.On 23.02.2008, Daya Shankar Giri carried away Ranjana Giri at 07:00 P.M. to some unknown place at Ballia and got her fetus aborted.The complainant kept tracing her daughter, and on 24.02.2008, the accused Daya Shankar left the victim at the door of the house of the complainant and said that he had got the child aborted.The victim was having health problem due to abortion who was on the verge of death.She was admitted in the Government Hospital and the report was lodged.On the basis of this report, the case was registered as Case Crime No. 28 of 2008, under Sections 376, 313, 504 and 506 I.P.C. in the presence of S.I. Dilawar Hussain PW-6 to whom investigation was entrusted.On 06.03.2008, vegorous search was made for the accused.On 07.05.2008, the statement of the victim was got recorded before the Magistrate under Section 164 Cr.P.C. Some witnesses had filed the affidavits which were copied in the case diary.This witness proved the chick report and copy of G.D. as Exhibit Ka-6 and Exbibit Ka-7 respectively.The prosecution examined seven witnesses.PW-2 is victim Ranjana Giri.PW-3 is Rama Devi who is said to be an eye witness regarding certain matters.PW-5 is Dr. R.N. Upadhyay under whose treatment also the victim was kept.After examining seven witnesses, the prosecution closed its evidence.The statement of Daya Shankar was recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in which while denying the allegations, he has stated that Babban Giri has got the case falsely registered against him and he is getting the case prosecuted by giving money to the prosecutrix.No defence witness was examined.After hearing the counsel for the parties, learned lower court has passed the impugned sentences which are under challenge in this appeal.I have heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned A.G.A. and perused the original record.The following points were raised before this Court which needs consideration :-* (ii) That all the witnesses are related witnesses whose evidences are fully unreliable.* (iii) The complainant and the scribe are inimical to the accused.* (iv) The medical evidence and the ocular evidence are contradictory to each other.(i) + (iii) That the F.I.R. is delayed and the complainant and the scribe are inimical to the accused:-It has been contended on behalf of the appellant that the first information report is delayed and in case the first information report is delayed it raises a shadow of doubt on the prosecution case.The first information report is the backbone of a criminal case and the police machinery is set into motion as soon as the first information is lodged.In 2012 Cr.L.J. 2713 (Mahesh and another vs. State of Madhya Pradesh) it has been held that it is established law that so far as the first information report is concerned, it is only a report submitted informing the police about the commission of the crime.It is not required that the first information report should contain a detailed and vivid description of the entire incident.Further it cannot be expected that the informant to give each and every minute details of the incident in the first information report as the first information report is not an encyclopedia of the prosecution case.In the present case, according to the chick report, the occurrence took place about 3 to 4 months prior to the lodging of the first information report which was lodged on 28.02.2008 at 16:10 hrs.The distance of the police station from the place of occurrence being 4 Kms.Now it has to be seen, whether any explanation has been given by the prosecution for the delay in lodging the first information report and whether the said delay is reasonable in the peculiar facts of the case.As far as Exhibit Ka-1, the first information in this matter is concerned it relates to two occurrences.The first one is when the prosecutrix was lifted by the accused and was raped and the second was on 23.02.2008 when the victim was taken by the accused and her pregnancy was got terminated.In the report, the informant being mother of the prosecutrix has specifically stated that after the victim was raped, she came back to her house and told her mother about everything.At this her mother went to the house of the accused but the accused threatened her, hence, she kept mum due to fear.As far as the second incident dated 23.02.2008 is concerned, she has stated that the accused dropped the victim at her house on the next day i.e. 24.02.2008 and told her not to reveal this fact to anybody since she had got the girl aborted.PW-1 Nirmala is the only witness who had explained about the delay in lodging the first information report.PW-1 Nirmala has said that 22 months prior to her statement, the accused took away her daughter and raped her.Her daughter returned weeping and told her all the incident happened with her.At this, PW-1 Nirmala went to the house of Daya Shankar where she was threatened, hence she kept mum due to fear.We cannot loose sight of the fact that generally, in cases of rape the parents are hesitant in lodging the first information report due to fear being caused to the reputation of the family because in rape cases, the conscious and personality of a lady are shattered and in the rural background also it is thought that a victim of rape would not be capable to show her face in the society.But in this particular case, the complainant kept mum not for the reputation of her family but she said that she kept mum due to fear and threaten to her life.For a moment, keeping a side this explanation, coming to the incident of 23.02.2008 when the accused again took away the victim who was returned and dropped her at the door of her house on 24.02.2008 but again the informant did not lodge the report and from 24.02.2008 to 28.02.2008, she waited for what, is not clear from the record.Thus, according to the informant, due to fear, she did not report both the matters to the police.The feeling of self-preservation is generally carried by the people but repeated injury to the reputation and self-respect and physical violence with a young daughter should not have been tolerable to the informant.The question mark has also been raised about the authenticity of the first information report inasmuch as the first information report is said to have been written by one Shamsher Giri son of Babban Giri who is said to be inimical with the accused.PW-1 Nirmala has stated that she dictated the report to Shamsher Giri but contradicting herself, she has stated that she had lodged the report at the police station after getting it scribed by an advocate.She had narrated the occurrence to an advocate who has scribed the report.She put her thumb impression and the thumb impression of her daughter on the report and presented it at the police station.Now this statement of PW-1 is contradictory to the documents on record because the first information report has been scribed by Shamsher son of Babban.The victim has stated in cross-examination that she does not know Shamsher son of Babban and according to her knowledge, there is no person named as Shamsher in her village.PW-1 Nirmala has stated that she is ignorant about any litigation between Babban Giri father of the scribe and the accused.Thus, shadow of doubt has been cast on the first information report itself.Whereas PW-2 the prosecutrix has admitted that there is enmity between her family and the family of the accused inasmuch as civil and revenue litigation were pending between both the parties.(ii) That all the witnesses are related witnesses whose evidences are fully unreliable :-A prosecutrix complaining of having been a victim of the offence of rape is not an accomplice after the crime.Her testimony has to be appreciated on the principle of probabilities just as the testimony of any other witness; a high degree of probability having been shown to exist in view of the subject matter being a criminal charge.It is to be emphasized that rape posses the greatest distress and humiliation to the victim but at the same time a false allegation of rape can definitely cause equal distress, humiliation and damage to the accused as well.The accused must also be protected against the possibility of false implication.Coming to the evidence of the star witness PW-2 Ranjana Giri, she has stated that on the fateful day when she was going from her house two years prior to her statement, to buy chili, the accused Daya Shankar hung her and took her to his house, where nobody was present.the accused raped her in his house.Presently, I am dealing with only the offence of rape, regarding which in cross-examination PW-2 Ranjana Giri has stated that since she is illiterate, she has no knowledge of the directions but in her next breath contradicting herself she has stated that towards the south of the house of Daya Shankar, the house of Bhaiya Ji was situated who was also called as Bhuvneshwar.she has again specified the direction of the room and said that she was raped in a room which was situated towards the south of the entrance.As regards the rape is concerned, the prosecutrix PW-2 has stated that her panty was stained with blood.She was raped for half an hour but she did not sustain any injury except an abrasion but contradicting her daughter PW-1 Nirmala has stated that at the time of occurrence, her daughter has not wearing a panty.No doubt, she could be ignorant of this fact but she could have shown her ignorance but specifically stating that her daughter has not wearing a panty whereas the victim has stated that she had worn a panty, is a major contradiction between the statements of the mother and the daughter.PW-2 the prosecutrix has further stated that she had shown the place of occurrence to the I.O. whereas PW-1 Nirmala has stated that neither she nor any member of the family has shown the place of occurrence to the I.O.Again contradicting her mother PW-2 the victim has stated that she and her mother keep mum on the incident of rape due to her reputation.PW-3 Rama Devi who has given the hearsay evidence is an interested and related witness.She has stated in her statement that the informant Nirmala PW-1 is her younger Deorani.She has stated that she has not seen the occurrence but has stated what was told to her.Thus, the rape being committed on a girl by a man of 65 years of age continuously for half an hour, would definitely cause injury to the victim.In this case, there was no injury on the body of the victim as admitted by her except an abrasion.Although she has admitted that she was raped on the floor and no cloth was under her when she was being raped.Thus, the story of rape does not stand proved.Coming to the other incident, which has said to have taken place on 23.02.2008 when it is said that the prosecutrix being pregnant was taken away by jeep by the accused and the fetus of victim was aborted, again does not stand proved from the evidence of PW-2 inasmuch as PW-2 has stated that three months after the incident of rape the accused took her by a jeep to Ballia and said that she had problem in her abdomen, he would get her treated.At this pretext, he took her to an unknown place where an unknown lady gave an injection to the victim and when she became unconscious the child was aborted.It appears that when the prosecutrix and her mother came to know about the pregnancy of the victim, the whole story was built up.PW-1 has stated that due to rape by the accused, the prosecutrix got pregnant.When PW-3 and other went to the accused to scold him for that, all of them have threatened.What was the reason why the mother of the victim did not inform the police when the second time her pregnant daughter was picked up by same accused who had committed rape on her.A daughter is generally supposed to be close to her mother.Prosecutrix PW-2 has further stated that she was admitted in the hospital because she was suffering from abdominal pain.The statement of I.O. PW-6 Dilawar Hussain is very interesting who has stated that the place of occurrence was identified to him by the complainant.He has further stated that he did not inquire about the clothes of the victim and during the complete investigation, he could not find out as to who had aborted the victim.This was a revision against the order passed under Section 133 Cr.P.C., 29-Kha is copy of application, 30-Kha is copy of complaint, 31-Kha is copy of application, 32-Kha is copy of judgment in which the present appellant is the accused and the father of the scribe Babban Giri was informant, 33-Kha is copy of the order passed by S.D.M., Ballia dated 13.06.2011 which go to prove the enmity between the father of the scribe and the accused person.But surprisingly none of these public documents have been marked as exhibits.All the above circumstances if taken cumulatively, go to prove that the evidence of the prosecutrix is wholly unreliable, not worthy of credit and thus the whole prosecution story falls down like heap of cards.(iv) The medical evidence and the ocular evidence are contradictory to each other :-Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that some medical evidences have been produced to show that after abortion, some pieces of the body of the child were left in the uterus of the victim, due to which she was suffering from abdominal pain.PW-4 Dr. S.P. Rai who has conducted the check up of the victim, has referred her to gynecologist.PW-5 is Dr. R. N. Upadhyay has stated that the victim was suffering from abdominal pain because during abortion, some part of the body of the child were left in her uterus, which were visible in the ultrasound plates.PW-7 is Dr. Prabha Shankar Walia who conducted the ultrasound and found that some part of the body of the child and blood clots were present in the uterus of the victim but she has specifically stated that Dr. S.P. Rai had not referred the matter to her.It is reported as Exhibit Ka-8 in which the uterus was found bulky anteverted uterus containing abortus with mild amount of free fluid seen in pouch of douglus, possiblity of uterine perforation.This goes to show that definitely abortion took place and pieces of the body of the child were found in the uterus of the victim but who aborted the victim or who forcibly aborted her is not on record.A stray statement was given by the prosecutrix that she was taken in a jeep to Ballia by the accused and she was aborted there, would not be sufficient to prove the evidence against the accused under Section 313 I.P.C. Thus, the medical and the ocular evidence are contradictory to each other.No doubt it is settled law that in such situation reliance should be placed on the ocular evidence but in the present case, the ocular evidence is itself shaky, unbelievable and unworthy of credit.The prosecution has miserably failed to prove the charges against the accused person beyond reasonable doubt, as such the accused is entitled to be acquitted and the appeal is liable to be allowed.Hence the impugned judgement of conviction and sentence dated 20.12.2012 passed by Additional sessions Judge, Court No. 3, Ballia, in Sessions Trial No. 3A/2009 is hereby set aside.Accordingly the appeal is allowed.The trial court sat as a spectator when the statement of the prosecutrix was being recorded, because her statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was not at all put to her.Besides the defence filed a bunch of public documents vide 27-Kha to 46-Kha but the trial court did not bother to take care of this matter.The trial court was expected to handle the file in a systematic way.Ex. Ka1, Ex. Ka2, Ex. Ka3 etc. and the documents admitted on behalf of the defence with the letter Kha followed by a numeral, thus-Ex. Kha1, Ex. Kha2, Ex. Kha3 etc;(c) In the same manner every material exhibits admitted in evidence shall be marked with numerals in serial order, thus-Ex. 1, Ex. 2, Ex. 3, etc.

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.

No.62/2016, whereby Learned A.S.J.framed charges against applicant Ramprasad under Section 307 of IPC and applicants Kanchanbai, Hokomsingh and Vishramsingh under Section 307/34 of IPC..[2] As per prosecution story, on 19.11.2015, at 5.30 p.m., when complainant Omprakash and his family members were working in the field situated at Rajgarh near National High Way 12, applicants came there armed with lathi and farsi and applicant Ramprasad assaulted Omprakash on his head by farsi with an intention to kill him while Hukum Singh assaulted on Omprakash's hand by lathi and Kanchanbhai by stone.When complainant's son Jaiprakash came to rescue him Ramprasad inflicted farsi blow on Jaiprakash's head and other applicants also beated them.On that report Crime No.617/2015 in P.S. Kotwali, Rajgarh was registered under Section 307 and 323 read with Section 34 of IPC.After investigation Police filed charge-sheet before the court and on the basis of charge-sheet S.T.No.62/2016 was registered and then learned A.S.J. framed charges against the applicant Ramprasad under Section 307 of IPC and against applicants No.2 Kanchanbhai No.3 Hukum Singh & Vishram Singh under Sections 307/34 and 323/34 of IPC.Being aggrieved by the orders of framing charges under Sections 307, 307/34 IPC applicants have filed this Revision.[3] Learned counsel for the applicants submits that to frame charge under Section 307 of IPC it should appear from the evidence that applicants inflicted injuries to the injured person with an intention to cause death but according to MLC report, injuries sustained by Omprakash and Jaiprakash are simple in nature and not dangerous to life.In the X-Ray report it is clearly mentioned that they have not received any bony injury, therefore, there is no evidence on record to frame charge under Section 307 of IPC.Learned Trial Court committed mistake in framing charge against applicant Ramprasad under Section 307 of IPC and against applicants Kanchanbai, Hokomsingh and Vishramsingh under Section 307/34 of IPC.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent opposed the prayer and submitted that Omprakash and Jaiprakash received incised wounds by farsi on their head which is vital part of body.Therefore, learned trial court rightly framed charge against the applicants and prays for rejection of Revision.[5] For framing of charge strong suspicion about commission of offence and accused's involvement of offence is sufficient.On merits, materials/documents filed by accused can not be considered.Reserved for orders.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns 07.03.2017 Order passed signed and dated.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.Let the matter be listed after four weeks or after service of notice, whichever is earlier.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns M.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.20,00,000/- 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.20,00,000/- 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.20,00,000/- 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.20,00,000/- 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

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.

of the Family Courts Act, 1984 against the order dated 31.07.2015 passed by the Principal Judge, Family Court, Mandsaur in M.Cr.C.No.432/2014, whereby he allowed the application of respondent's filed 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

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.10,00,000/- 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

Court deposited Rs.4,25,000/- in the Fixed Deposit in the Nationalized Bank for five years.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that applicant's dwelling house has been damaged because of

learned counsel for the appellant No.3 Abid.Shri Himanshu Joshi, learned Panel Lawyer for the respondent/State.Heard on I.A.No.714/2017, which is an application filed by appellant No.3 Abid S/o Abdul Patel for suspension of sentence and grant of bail.Appellant Abid has been convicted under Sections 148, 326/149, 302/149 of IPC and sentenced to undergo two years RI with fine of Rs.500/-, RI for 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 (PW-4) and deceased Afzal were putting sticks on bullock cart, accused Ishaq, Yusuf armed with swords, Abid, Salim armed with guns, Shabbir armed with Axe, Ahmed armed with Dhariya, Akilabi, Shamshadbi, Abdul Salam, Rafique armed with Lathis came there and beated Fajju and Afzal with their weapons with an intention to kill them.Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that appellant has been falsely implicated.Since co-accused Shamshad, Abdul Salam and Akila Bi were released on bail by this Court and appellant's case is similar to their case, therefore, on the ground of parity appellant also deserves to get bail.Hence application for suspension of sentence be allowed.On the other hand, learned counsel for the respondent/State submits that injured Fajju (PW-4) and other eye 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

(a) The deceased Shankar Govind Katkar was the husband of Rajjakka, the first informant.They were residing at Village Falakewadi, Taluka : Walva, District Sangli.The deceased was an horticulturist.The routine of the deceased was to collect the vegetables by the evening and sell the same on the next morning in the vegetable market at Sangli.The gunny bags containing vegetables were dispatched daily in a tempo.(b) The deceased was actively involved in politics.The deceased was the Sarpanch of the Villagepanchayat Falakewadi for a period of eight years.Eknath Gunda Apugade, the accused No.3 led the rival political group.In the Villagepanchayat elections held in 1992-93, the Panel led by accused No.3-EknathShraddha Talekar PS 3/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.doc Apugade was elected.Thus, there was political rivalry.(c) On the morning of 31 st October 1994 at about 5:00 a.m., as usual, the tempo came to the house of the deceased for transporting vegetables.The deceased and the first informant loaded the bags of coriander.Balasaheb Ramchandra Apugade (P.W.7), another horticulturist, was travelling in the said tempo with his vegetables.The deceased informed Balasaheb Ramchandra Apugade (P.W.7) to proceed ahead and he would follow them on his M-80 moped.After few minutes, the deceased left the house on M-80 moped on his way to Sangli via Falakewadi-Nagaon road.(d) Usually the deceased used to return home after selling the vegetables by 9:00 a.m. On 31 st October 1994, the deceased did not return home.At about 7:00 p.m., Balasaheb Ramchandra Apugade (P.W.7) came to the house of the deceased and informed the first informant that the deceased had not come to the vegetable market at Sangli and thus he had sold the bundles of coriander, and tendered the sale proceeds and the empty gunny bags to the first informant.Thereupon, the firstShraddha Talekar PS 4/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.doc informant, Ramchandra Govind Katkar (P.W.6), the brother of the deceased, and others did search for the deceased in the nearby villages and the places which the deceased was expected to visit.Despite search, the whereabouts of the deceased could not be known.Hence, on 1 st November 1994, Ramchandra Govind Katkar (P.W.6) lodged missing report (Exh.35) at Ashta Police Station.(e) On the vary day, Ramchandra Katkar (P.W.6) claimed to have noticed blood stains on Falakewadi-Nagaon road and apprised the police about the same.The panchnama at the said spot came to be drawn and the samples of blood-mixed and plain earth were collected thereunder.(f) The prosecution claimed that inquiry into the missing report of the deceased was underway.In the F.I.R., the first informant alleged that there was a long standing political feud between the deceased and Eknath Gunda Apugade,Shraddha Talekar PS 5/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.doc accused No.3 and his associates.In addition, the maternal aunt of the first informant Sou.Shantabai Sakharam Apugade had purchased an agricultural land from Shamrao Ghadage.In the said transaction, the deceased had played a prominent role.Baban, the son of Shamrao Ghadage, was insisting that the said land be re-conveyed.A civil suit was subjudice between her maternal aunt Sou.Shantabai and Baban Ghadage.Yet, Banda Ganpat Apugade, accused No.4, who is the brother in law of Baban Ghadage, Eknath Apugade, accused No.3, his sons; accused No.1 Rajendra and accused No.5 Ravindra, and accused No.2 Arjun, a friend of accused No.1 had threatened the deceased with dire consequences if the said land was not re- conveyed in favour of Baban Ghadage.On account of the political rivalry and dispute over the said land, Rajjakka, the first informant alleged that the accused Nos.1 to 5 had abducted the deceased.(g) On the strength of the said F.I.R. (Exh.41), crime was registered at Ashta Police Station vide C.R.No.On the very day, the accused No.1-Rajendra made a disclosure statement to show the place where the dead body of the deceased was buried.Consequent to the disclosure statement, the investigating officer requested the Executive Magistrate, Islampur and the Medical Officer to accompany the police party.The accused No.1 Rajendra led the police party to the agricultural land bearing Survey No. 254/10, which stood in the name of accused No.3 Eknath Apugude and had standing sugarcane crop.The accused pointed out the spot which was at a distance of 30 to 32 paces inside the boundary.Upon excavation, the dead body of the deceased was found buried.The legs were amputed.The Medical Officer opined that the death was caused due to 'shock due to cranio-cerebral injury associated with cutting of both thighs'.The deceasedled one group.The accused No.2-Arjun led the police party to a placewhich was abutting the cattle-shed and took out one sword and ironbar which were concealed under the heap of dry sugarcane leaves.There were blood stains on the sword.Thereafter, accused No.2 ledthe police party to his house and took out the spade, pati and pickaxewhich were kept under the cot.Those articles were seized under theseizure panchnama (Exh.20).AnilFalake (P.W.2) conceded in the cross-examination that accused No.2-Arjun had not accompanied them when they left Ashta Police Stationpursuant to the disclosure statement made by accused No.1-Rajendra.Anil Falake (P.W.2) went on to admit that accused No.2-Arjun wasnot present at the place wherefrom the dead body of the deceasedwas taken out.Thepanchnama whereunder the dead body of the deceased was exhumedrecords that it was commenced at 11:00 a.m. and concluded at 12:25p.m.Accused No.2-Arjun allegedly made disclosure statement at about4:35 p.m. The same witnesses were shown to have witnessed the saiddisclosure and that too in the field of accused No.3-Eknath.This appeal is directed against the judgment and order dated 3 rdFebruary 1996 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Sangliin Sessions Case No.61 of 1995, whereby and whereunder theappellants Rajendra and Arjun (original accused Nos.1 and 2) came tobe convicted for the offences punishable under sections 302 and 201read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 ('the Penal Code') andsentenced to suffer imprisonment for life and pay fine of Rs.10,000/-each, on the first count, and rigorous imprisonment for five years andfine of Rs.2,000/- each, on the second count, with default stipulationfor having committed murder of Shankar Govind Katkar ('thedeceased') and caused disappearance of evidence of the offence withintention to screen themselves from legal punishment.The background facts leading to this appeal can be stated inbrief as under :-The police interrogated several persons.The whereabouts of the deceased, however, could not be located.On 8 th December 1994, Rajjakka, the first informant, lodged the first information report (Exh.41).71 of 1994 for the offences punishable under section 364 and 506 read with 34 of the Penal Code.Shivaji Katkar, another brother of the deceased, and Rajjakka, the first informant, identified the dead body.(i) Since the body was in a decomposed state, the Medical Officer, who accompanied the police party, conducted the post- mortem examination at the said spot and found injuries onShraddha Talekar PS 7/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.doc skull.(j) On the very day, the accused No.2-Arjun made a discovery leading to the recovery of the weapons of offence, i.e., a sword and an iron bar, and the instruments used for digging the pit and burying the deceased.The accused No.2- Arjun made a further disclosure on 13 th December 1994 pursuant to which Bajaj M-80 moped of the deceased came to be recovered from Kochi Dam (Bandhara).(k) On 14th December 1994, the accused No.6 Suresh Shivaji Khot also made a disclosure statement to point out the scene of occurrence from where the earth was collected to spread over the blood spilled over Falakewadi-Nagaon Road.The investigating officer interrogated the witnesses and recorded their statements.After finding the complicity of the accused, charge-sheet came to be lodged in the court of jurisdictional Magistrate.framed charge against the accused for the offences punishable under section 302 and 201 read with 34 of the Penal Code.The accused abjured their guilt and claimed for trial.(m) At the trial, to bring home the charge to the accused, the prosecution examined in all ten witnesses, including Ramchandra Katkar (P.W.6); the brother of the deceased, Rajjakka (P.W.9), wife of the deceased-the first informant, Dr. Dattatraya Appasaheb Kadam (P.W.3); the Autopsy Surgeon, Vasant Bahurao Patil (P.W.5); the Executive Magistrate, Anil Nanasaheb Falake (P.W.2) and Shivaji Vasant Apugade (P.W.4); the public witnesses to the discovery, and Deelip Ganpatrao Katake (P.W.10); the investigating officer who furnished the details of investigation.The accused did not lead any evidence in their defence which consisted of denial and false implication on account of political rivalry.However, the guilt of accused Nos.1 and 2 was established.Thus, accused Nos.1 and 2 came to be convicted and sentenced as indicated above.judgment of conviction and order of sentence, the accused Nos.1 and 2 have preferred this appeal.We have heard Mr.Prosper D'souza, the learned counsel for theappellants and Mrs.M.H. Mhatre, the learned Additional PublicProsecutor at length.To begin with, the aspect of homicidal death.DattatrayaKadam (P.W.3) affirmed that as the body was in a decomposed state,he conducted post-mortem examination at the spot wherefrom thedead body of the deceased was disinterred.Dr. Dattatraya Kadam(P.W.3) informed the Court that, on external examination, thefollowing injuries were noticed :-"(1) Linear fracture of skull bone 12 cm.x ½ cm.cavity deep extending from glabella, left lateral forehead upto the parietal region posterior upto bregma.Fracture skull bone was ½ cm.To left from sagittal suture, margins of fracture shows tattooing.(2) Right Lower limb at junction of Lower 1/3 and middle 1/3 of femur sharp edged cutting of bone through and through separating Lower portion of leg totally.Cut margins of femur shows tattooing.Surrounding muscle tissue decomposed at places.(3) Left Lower limb at junction of lower 1/3 and middle 1/3 of femur sharp edged, cutting of bone through and through separating lower portion of leg totally.Cut margins of femur shows tattooing surrounding muscle tissue decomposed at places." On internal examination, Dr. Dattatraya Kadam (P.W.3)Shraddha Talekar PS 13/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.doc noticed as under :"(ii) Skull Linear fracture 12 cm.x 1½ cm.cavity deep extending into anterior fossa.Fracture extending from gabella anteriorly to bregma posteriorly, cut margins shows tattooing.(iii) Brain-Dura cut below fractured site of skull.In his opinion, the cause of death was shock due to craneo-cerebral injury associated with cutting of both thighs.The aforesaidinjuries were sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course ofnature.The nature of injuries noted by the Autopsy Surgeon justifies aninference of homicidal death.He affirmed that ShivajiKatkar, the brother of the deceased, did identify the body to be thatShraddha Talekar PS 14/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.docof the deceased.To add to this, Rajjakka (P.W.9) testified to the factthat after the body of the deceased was disinterred, the police hadshown the same to her and she had identified the dead body on thebasis of the clothes which the deceased wore when he left the houseon the morning of 31 st October 1994, including the multi-colouredthread which was wrapped around the waist of the deceased.Secondly, no credible material could be brought on record to establishShraddha Talekar PS 22/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.docthe relationship between the accused/appellants and Baban.Theinvestigating officer Deelip Katake (P.W.10) conceded in the crossexamination that he had recorded the statements of Shamrao Ghadage,Baban Ghadage and Vilas Ghadage but did not arrest them onsuspicion.In the absence of cogent evidence, it would be ratherhazardous to draw an inference that the accused would pick upcudgels on behalf of Baban Ghadage.The contemporaneous conduct of Rajjakka (P.W.9), the firstinformant, and Ramchandra Katkar (P.W.6) also assumes criticalsignificance.Rajjakka (P.W.9) was candid enough to concede that afterRamchandra Katkar (P.W.6) lodged the missing report, the policerepeatedly visited her house, almost every alternate day, for inquiry.The police did record her statement.She went on to admit in nouncertain terms that the police made inquiry with her as to whetherthe deceased had enmity with any person.Rajjakka (P.W.9) furtheraffirmed that she also used to visit Ashta Police Station regularly toascertain the progress of the inquiry into the missing report.Ramchandra Katkar (P.W.6) also conceded that he used to visit AshtaPolice Station every alternate day to ascertain the progress in theenquiry and that the police regularly visited Village Falakewadi andShraddha Talekar PS 23/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.docdid ask him and the first informant as to whether the deceased hadinimical relations with anybody.He admitted that the police hadrecorded his statements in the said inquiry.It would be contextually relevant to note that Deelip GanpatraoKatake (P.W.10), the investigating officer feigned ignorance as towhether police had recorded the statements of Rajjakka (P.W.9) andRamchandra Katkar (P.W.6) in the said inquiry.Deelip GanpatraoKatake (P.W.10) had the audacity to assert that he did not find itnecessary to take into account the statements of the witnessesrecorded in the said inquiry.The aforesaid admissions are required to be appreciated in thelight of the fact that the grounds, on which the enmity was sought tobe attributed, were well within the knowledge of both, Rajjakka(P.W.9) and Ramchandra Katkar (P.W.6).The political rivalry wassince decades.It is in the evidence of Anil Falake (P.W.2) thaton 9th December 1994, at about 8:30 a.m., the accused No.1 made astatement that he would show the place where the dead body of thedeceased was buried.It was reduced into a memorandum (Exh.16).Thereafter, accused No.1 led the police party to the sugarcane fieldwhich stood in the name of accused No.3, and pointed out the placewhich was at a distance of 30 to 32 paces from the outer boundary.Whereupon, the said spot was dug up.Shivaji Apugade (P.W.4), another independent witness, affirmedthat on 13th December 1994, the accused No.2-Arjun made adisclosure statement to the effect that he would show the place wherethe Bajaj M-80 moped was lying.Thereafter, accused No.2 led thepolice party to Kochi Bandhara (Dam) and pointed out the spot, inbetween the pillar No.12 and 13 of the bund, where the moped wasimmersed.Thereupon Laxman Ghongade (P.W.8), the diver, dived intothe dam and located the Bajaj M-80 moped, which was thereafterpulled out.Shraddha Talekar PS 31/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.docAn endeavour was made on behalf of the accused todemonstrate that the investigating machinery had known from beforethat the body of the deceased was buried at the said spot and thevehicle was drowned in the Dam and to falsely rope in the accused,on account of political rivalry, a farce of discoveries was made byemploying pliant public witnesses.The facts that F.I.R. came to be registered on 8 th December 1994and immediately on the next morning the accused were shown tohave been arrested, and made discoveries almost instantaneously, wereurged to throw a cloud of doubt over the genuineness of thediscoveries.Why therest of accused were brought to the field of accused No.3 and thepublic witnesses were detained despite the completion of exhumationby 12:25 p.m. remained unexplained.It would be contextually relevant to note that Vasant BhauraoPatil (P.W.5), the Executive Magistrate admitted that spectators hadgathered when the dead body of the deceased was being exhumed,but they were kept at a distance of about one furlong from the saidspot.In the circumstances, the evidence of discovery allegedly madeby accused No.2-Arjun appears to be unworthy of credence.It wouldShraddha Talekar PS 35/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.docbe extremely hazardous to place reliance on the claim of theinvestigating officer that after about four hours of exhumation of thedead body of the deceased, the rest of the accused were brought tothe said field and the accused No.2 was interrogated, in the publicgaze, and the latter made the disclosure statement.The accused were produced before the learned Magistrate on 9 thDecember 1994 at 10:30 p.m. Interestingly, in the Remand Report(Exh.55), which was proved in the cross-examination of theinvestigating officer, the police custody of the accused was claimed onthe ground that the iron rod and the instruments used for burying thedead body of the deceased namely spade, pati and pickaxe were to berecovered.However, the evidence led by the prosecution shows thatthe aforesaid articles were already recovered pursuant to the discoverymade by accused No.2-Arjun at about 4:35 p.m., itself.The necessary corollary is that accused No.2-Arjun cannot befastened with the knowledge of the concealment of the weapons ofassault and instruments used for burying the dead body of thedeceased.The nexus between the accused and the weapons of assaultand those instruments thus cannot be said to have been established.On account of failure of the prosecution to prove the discoveryleading to the recovery of the weapons of offence and theinstruments, allegedly made by accused No.2-Arjun, a vital link in thechain of circumstances gets snapped.The claim of recovery of Bajaj M-80 moped from KochiBandhara (Dam) at the pointing out by accused No.2, is also requiredto be accepted with a pinch of salt.The investigating officer claims tohave interrogated the accused No.2 on 9 th December 1994 and elicitedthe information pertaining to the weapons of offence and instruments.The time lag assumes significance,especially when the accused No.2 allegedly made the disclosurestatement in the field of accused No.3 on 9 th December 1994 itself.The missing report itself indicated that the deceased had proceeded toSangli on Bajaj M-80 moped.It does not stand to reason that theinvestigating officer would have missed to inquire about the vehiclewhen he claimed to have successfully elicited most incriminatoryinformation from the accused on the very day of arrest.In the backdrop of the nature of accusation and the attendantShraddha Talekar PS 37/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.doccircumstances, the evidence is required to be appreciated on thetouchstone of previous statements and probabilities.The fact that thepublic witnesses have subscribed to the prosecution version on theaspect of the discoveries allegedly made by accused Nos.1 and 2cannot be taken at par where it is shown that the village was factionridden and the public witnesses had affinity towards the deceased.Allthe factors, including the delay in lodging the report, despite therebeing an apprehension of foul play and knowledge of thecircumstances which were banked upon to show enmity between thedeceased and the accused party, bear upon the credibility of theprosecution.The fact that there is no other evidence except the discoveriesputs the Court on guard.To draw an inferenceof authorship of offence on the basis of ownership of the said land,sans evidence, would be a matter of surmise and conjecture and, thus,legally impermissible.There is evidence to indicate that the said fieldwas at a close distance from Bavchi Road.It had standing sugarcanecrop of about 11 ft. height.Thus, neither the possibility of access toothers could be totally ruled out.Nor it could be disputed that theShraddha Talekar PS 38/41 CRI-APEAL-113-1996-J-F.docstanding crop provided the opportunity for surreptitious burial.It was elicited in the cross-examination of the investigatingofficer Deelip Katake (P.W.10) that the distance between the placewhere the dead body was found and the spot where the blood stainswere found on the Falakewadi-Nagaon Road was about 1½ k.m.Therewere fields on both sides of the said road leading to the place wherethe dead body of the deceased was found.It is not the claim that anytrail of blood was found.This assumes significance as the prosecutionclaimed that on 1st November 1994 itself Ramchandra Katkar (P.W.6)had pointed the blood stains on the said spot on Falakewadi-NagaonRoad and the panchnama (Exh.14) was drawn.Hence, the following order :-O R D E R

panch of the spot panchanama.P.W. 4 Shantaram Bagul is also a panch in whose presence, panchanama of the place where Hansabai was lying, was recorded.Both these witnesses had deposed in the Court and nothing is found to discard their testimonies.Initially, four accused persons were charge sheeted and tried by the Addl.Sessions Judge.By a judgment and order delivered in Sessions Case No. 104/1997 dated 20-12-1997, the original accused Nos. 2, 3 and 4 were acquitted of the offences punishable under Section 302 read with 34, 498-A read with 34 of IPC.The appellant was also acquitted of the

imprisonment and fine of Rs. 2000/-, in default, rigorous imprisonment for one month.The appellant has preferred this appeal against the said judgment and order.The prosecution has examined in all twelve witnesses.With the assistance of the learned counsel appearing for the parties, we have gone through the evidence of the witnesses and the relevant record and proceedings of the case.The prosecution examined Baliram P.W. 1 as Panch witness of inquest panchanama, who deposed that the face of the deceased hansabai had turned into bluish-blackish colour.There was abraison on her waist and her neck was having ligature mark of about 6" length.Her mouth was swollen.Her tongue was protruding.Nothing much was elicited from this witness by the defence to discard his testimony.He has supported the prosecution case.He categorically stated that the appellant, along with other accused persons came in a jeep while he was in his field and kept the dead body of Hansabai there and ran away.He had witnessed ligature mark on the neck of Hansabai and abrasions on her waist and toe.He has dented the suggestion of the defence that when his daughter was brought back in the evening, she was unconscious.This witness further stated that before marriage, her daughter was not suffering from any ailment.The distance between the village of Kaduba P.W. 2 and the village of the appellant was stated to be about 30-35 kms.Waghali village is 4 kms.away from the village of the appellant.This witness further deposed that deceased Hansabai had proceeded along with the appellant to the Bus Stand.After getting down at village Javare, one has to go on foot to the village of appellant by crossing a distance of about 3-4 kms.On material particulars like arrival of appellant in a jeep along with dead body of the deceased Hansabai and immediately returning back, the evidence of this witness was not shattered by the defence.P.W. 5 is Dr. Rajendra Bapurao Chavhan who conducted autopsy on the dead body of Hansabai.The dead body was brought from Chalisgaon Police Station.This witness had stated that the face of the deceased Hansabai had turned blackish and bluish.Her tongue was protruding and swelling was present around her eyes.Blood stained clot was oozing from her mouth.The doctor had noticed following external injuries on the dead body of Hansabai :(1) Abrasion on greateo medially 3 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm.(2) Contused abrasion at right illiceacord anteriorly 2 cm.in length x 5 cm in depth.(3) Compression contused abrasion all around neck size 1 cm.all around neck.The doctor opined that it was a asphyxical death due to strangulation.He further stated that on the basis of external injury No. 3, according to him, it was a case of throttling.The doctor opined that all the injuries were ante mortem injuries.In the cross-examination, the Medical Officer stated that in this case he had noticed vomiting but did not notice purging.Chalisgaon taluka is hot in the month of May between 10.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. Exposure to heat, exertion may result into sunstroke.The deceased was of average constitution and she had no previous history of any disease.He denied suggestion that it was a case of sunstroke.The cause of death, according to the post-mortem report was "death due to asphyxia due to strangulation".P.W. 6 Karbhari Sagale in his deposition stated that when he saw hansabai, she was dead.He further stated that when Kaduba lodged complaint, he was present in the police station.His evidence also supports the stand taken by the father of the deceased.P.W. 8 is Narayan Sonwane, who stated in his examination that the deceased was kept by her husband on a cot in her father's house and at that time, she was alive.P.W. 9 Gangubai states that she had seen the deceased following her husband while they were proceeding to the village of her husband.She states that the deceased was sick and she was carrying a bag in her hands.In her cross-examination, she states that due to heat in summer days, the deceased was looking tired.At Chalisgaon, the deceased had asked for some water.P.W. 10 is Dr. Motiram Patil.In his evidence, he states that the appellant had visited his house between 2 to 2.30 p.m. on 12-5-1997 and told that his wife was feeling giddiness, she was uneasy and vomiting and therefore, he should accompany the appellant to his house at Chambhardi.This witness examined the deceased and found that he was not getting her pulse.Her eyes were dry.Though, he did not give any treatment to her, he informed that the deceased was serious and therefore, she should be shifted to Chalisgaon.In the cross-examination, this witness stated that when he saw the deceased Hansabai, she was not in a position to speak.She had vomiting and as he did not get her pulse, he did not record her blood pressure.P.W. 11 is Bhausaheb Sonawane who is driver by occupation.He made a statement in the cross-examination that when Hansabai was taken to her father's house, she was alive.This witness was driver on the vehicle in which Hansabai was brought to village Rohini.SUBMISSIONS OF DEFENCE :The conduct of the appellant absolves him from suspicion that he must be the author of the crime.The learned counsel placed reliance on the evidence of P.W. 8 Narayan Sonwane and P.W. 9 Gangubai to support the probability of the defence which the appellant had taken.The evidence of P.W. 5 Dr. Rajendra Chavhan, who noticed a ligature mark on the neck, according to the learned Counsel, could not be sole circumstance to attribute guilt to the appellant in absence of cogent and reliable evidence brought on record by the prosecution.The learned counsel further submitted that the charge was framed against the appellant and three acquitted accused.The charge for an offence punishable under Section 302 read with 34 of IPC was framed against all the four accused and in absence of sim-pliciter charge framed against the appellant the order of conviction and sentence awarded by the trial Court deserves to be set aside.According to the learned counsel for the appellant, some of the prosecution witnesses are interested one and, therefore, they are deposing against the appellant.The appellant was last seen in the company of the deceased.The deceased was in his custody as wife.There is evidence to this effect that the appellant and his wife were seen going to the village of the appellant.The prosecution had made allegations against the appellant regarding harassment meted out to the deceased Hansabai.The conduct of the appellant is also blameworthy.The appellant had brought the dead body of the deceased to the village of the P.W. 2 Kaduba and by leaving the dead body-there, the appellant had left the place unmindful of the fact that the deceased was his wife.The prosecution had completed the chain of circumstances and the only inference that could be drawn is that it is the appellant alone who must have committed the offence.APPRECIATION OF EVIDENCE :From the totality of the evidence led by the prosecution, it could be gathered that the prosecution has led credible evidence and completed the chain of circumstantial evidence while pointing out accusation against the appellant.It has come on record that the deceased was in the company of the appellant as her husband.They had gone to the village of the husband and in the evening the appellant returned to the village of the complainant P.W. 2 Kaduba in a jeep along with the dead body of the deceased.The dead body, according to the prosecution, was kept in the field where P.W. 2 Kaduba was working.Though the defence had suggested that the body was brought to the house of the P.W. 2 Kaduba and the deceased was alive but, the said theory does not get credibility if we consider the attending facts and circumstances and the evidence of other witnesses who were present when the appellant arrived in the village, kept dead body and ran away.The evidence of P.W. 2 Kaduba is corroborated by the evidence of P.W. 6 Karbhari whose evidence cannot be discarded merely due to the fact that he is distant relation of P.W. 2 Kaduba.It was suggested by the defence that the ligature mark as noticed by the Medical Officer around neck of the deceased, was not a mark of strangulation and such a mark would not be there at all.The inquest panchanama (Exh. 15) was proved by P.W. 1 Baliram who states in his evidence that the deceased had a ligature mark of 6" length and her mouth was swollen and her tongue was protruding outside.The appellant could not break this chain of circumstances by his explanation.There is nothing on record to disbelieve the version of Dr. Rajendra and the medical certificates.Minor discrepancies here and there would not affect the prosecution case.If in its entirety the evidence led by the prosecution is worth reliable and the prosecution is successful in establishing the chain of events leading to the guilt of the accused.The prosecution established that the deceased died due to homicidal death.The appellant failed to explain the injuries which were noticed on the person of the deceased.Considering the nature of the, evidence led by the prosecution, we are of the view that the prosecution has completed the chain of circumstances which leads to the only conclusion that the appellant is the author of the crime.The prosecution has proved vital circumstances establishing guilt against the appellant such as :(a) homicidal death of the deceased was established;(b) the deceased was in the company of the appellant prior to her death;(c) there was no past history of the deceased having any ailment;(d) the medical evidence shows that death of Hansabai was due to asphyxia due to strangulation;(e) the conduct of the appellant was vulnerable who had carried the dead body of the deceased to the village of the complainant and kept the dead body in front of the complainant and hurriedly ran away along with others in a jeep;(f) the explanation provided by the appellant and the defence taken, are not probable.We may usefully refer to a reported judgment in the case of Joseph s/o Kooveli Poulo v. State of Kerala, .The three Judge Bench of the Apex Court, inter alia held thus (Para 10) :"It is often said that though witnesses may lie, circumstances will not, but at the same time it must cautiously be scrutinised to see that the incriminating circumstances are such as to lead only to a hypothesis of guilt and reasonably exclude every possibility of innocence of the accused.There can also be no hard and fast rule as to the appreciation of evidence in a case and being always an exercise pertaining to arriving at a find-ing of fact the same has to be in the manner necessitated or warranted by the peculiar facts and circumstances of each case.The whole effort and endeavour in this case should be to find out whether the crime was committed by the appellant and the circumstances proved, form themselves into a complete chain unerringly pointing to the guilt of the appellant."The trial Court, therefore, had rightly appreciated the evidence on record and ar- rived at the conclusion of convicting and sentencing the appellant - original accused No. 1 for the offence punishable under Section 302 of I.P.C.In our opinion, for the reasons stated above, the appeal deserves to be dismissed.We accordingly, dismiss the appeal.The appellant was released on bail by this Court.At this juncture, the learned Counsel for the appellant prayed for sufficient time for the appellant to surrender.We grant six weeks time from today to the appellant to surrender to his bail.

The appellants herein while discharging their duty as Agricultural Officer and Demonstration Assistant respectively in the Agricultural Department of Puducherry Union Territory Government were entrusted to identify farmers near Karaikal affected in the heavy rain and flood during October  November 2004 and to pay compensation.The appellants with common intention to cause wrongful loss to the Government and to dishonestly misappropriate the Government fund, fabricated documents such as claim applications in the name of fictitious persons or forged the applications in the name of existing persons without their knowledge and misappropriated a sum of Rs.97,750/-.Based on the preliminary report of P.W.6, the Additional Director of Agricultural Department, lodged a detailed complaint dated 10.03.2007 and the same was forwarded to the Central Bureau of Investigation which is marked as Ex.P.1, during the trial.2.As per the complaint dated 10.03.2007 given by Mr.Thyagarajan  P.W.1, the Joint Director of Agricultural Department.D.Karunakaran (first Appellant) Agricultural Officer and Mr.T.Francis (second appellant) Demonstration Assistant, in charge, Keezhamanai Revenue District, jointly colluded and manipulated the original applications submitted by the affected farmers and made excessive claim over and above the entitlement and also made fake claims in the name of fictitious names or in the name of person who never applied thereby they jointly misappropriated a tune of Rs.97,750/-.The complaint  Ex.P.1 also enlisted 13 claimants, out of which, 5 were fictitious persons, four of them never applied and four applications were manipulated by the appellants so as to withdraw more money than the entitlement.3.The respondent Police has registered the case and after completion of investigation, has filed final report.The Lieutenant Governor who is the person competent to grant sanction to prosecute the appellants has given sanction and the same is marked as Ex.P.2 through P.W.2 Mr.Manickasamy.The trial Court, after considering the evidence has convicted the accused for offences under Sections 465 r/w 34 I.P.C., 468 r/w 34 I.P.C., and Section 13(1)(c)r/w 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act and sentenced both the accused to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months and to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each in default to undergo simple imprisonment for 15 days each for offence under Section 465 r/w 34 I.P.C; to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year and to pay a fine of Rs.2,000/- each in default to undergo simple imprisonment for 30 days each for the offence under Section 468 r/w 34 I.P.C., and to undergo simple imprisonment for a period of one year each and to pay a fine of Rs.3,000/- each in default to undergo simple imprisonment for 30 days each for the offence under Section 13(1)(c)r/w 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.5.The learned counsel for the appellants submitted that as per the prosecution case, out of 13 beneficiaries, 5 are fictitious persons and no such persons available in the given address.In four applications, it is alleged that excessive claim was made by the appellants than the entitlement and rest of the claim applications which were not made by the real applicants but forged by the appellants themselves with excessive claim.The fraud came to light on the petition complaint from public and through preliminary enquiry held by Mr.Jaishankar, Assistant Director (P.W.6).Both the so called complaint of the public and the enquiry report of Mr.Jaisankar (P.W.6) have not seen the light of the day.Without marking these two documents, the charge sheet filed by the respondent and the trial Court failed to note the grave omission on the part of the prosecution.6.Further, the learned counsel for the appellants contended that the allegation made by the respondent against the appellants that, in the name of fictitious persons, the claim applications were made, is not proved by the prosecution.The addresses of the applicants were admitted by not checked with either the Tahsildar, or the Village Assistant, or the local body representatives.The cheques issued by the Government to the applicants were neither seized nor marked and the bank officers concerned were also not examined.Without marking these vital documents, the forgery or fraud as alleged by the prosecution against the appellants cannot be presumed.However, the trial Court has convicted the appellants for the offences under Sections 465 r/w 34 I.P.C., 468 r/w 34 I.P.C., and Section 13(1)(c)r/w 13(2) of Prevention of Corruption Act, inspite of lack of evidence.The inordinate delay in filing the Final report itself has caused serious prejudice to the appellants.The evidences of Ms.Gowri  P.W.3; V.Jaishankar  P.W.6; and Mr.R.Muthuramalingam  P.W.10 carries bundle of contradictions and false hood.They are not reliable witnesses and the conviction cannot be based on these contradictory, unworthy un- corroborated witnesses.When the villagers noticed gross violation and fraud in disbursement of relief fund, they went on protest and agitation which, prompted the Government to make preliminary enquiry about the issue.Accordingly, Mr.Jaishankar - P.W.6, the Assistant Director of Agricultural Department made enquiry and found the relief fund applications were forged and manipulated by the appellants thereby cheated the Government making false and excessive claim.Thereafter, Mr.S.Thiyagarajan  P.W.1, gave the complaint - Ex.P.1 to the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Cell, Puducherry.The investigation disclosed that the accused/appellants have made excessive compensation to (1)Mr.K.Natarajan (P.W.5); (2)Ms.A.Gowri (P.W.3); (3)Mr.K.Thandapani (P.W.8); (4)Mr.R.Mathiazhagan, (4)Mr.R.Samikannu and (5)Mr.9.The hand writing experts who have compared the disputed signatures of Mr.K.Natarajan (P.W.5) ; Ms.The ocular evidence of the individuals who were worn over by the accused shall be ignored.Out of the said witnesses, P.W.5; P.W.7; P.W.8 and P.Ws.11 and 12 have turned hostile.They have identified the signatures found in the applications as their signatures and received compensation by them as found in the claim applications.Their evidences are contradictory to their previous statements.The manipulations and corrections found in her application form were done without her consent and knowledge.She was given a cheque for Rs.8,000/- towards compensation later, the appellants/accused came to her house and collected Rs.6,000/- under the pretext that she was paid excessive compensation.The opinion of the hand writing expert marked as Ex.P.39 states that both the signatures found in the application - Ex.He was paid only Rs.2,500/- as compensation.As per the record, P.W.10 was paid Rs.5,375/- as compensation.Thus, forging the signatures of P.W.10 in Ex.P.19 is proved both through the oral evidence of the person concerned and by the scientific opinion - Ex.P.39 which opines that the signatures found in Ex.

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner as well as the learned Additional Public Prosecutor.This is a second petition filed by the father of the detenu.It is not in dispute that by order dated 20.03.2006, in H.C.P.No.1334 of 2005, after considering all the contentions raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court after satisfying itself, dismissed the said petition as devoid of any merit.The said petition was filed by a friend of the detenu and the present petition is filed by the father of the detenu.According to him, investigation was completed on 03.10.2005 itself.In the absence of proper explanation, the detention order is to be interfered by this Court.We have heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above submission.However, the learned Public Prosecutor by taking us through the details relating to four adverse cases, out of which the fourth adverse case relates to 302 I.PC.The first adverse case relates to Otteri Police Station in Cr.The offences involved are under Section 399, 402 and 395 r/w 397 IPC.It is seen that on 30.09.2001, at about 23.45 hours, the accused Raji @ Uralai Raju @ Rajesh along with his associates came to Sakthi Mariyamman Petrol Bunk and robbed Rs.22,200/- in the bunk and absconded.Later, he was arrested and charge-sheeted.The offences relate to Section 394, 397 IPC.r/w 120B IPC.It shows that on 07.12.2001, at about 9.45 hours, the accused along with his associates waylaid the container lorry and attacked the lorry driver and the cleaner near Pachaiamman Koil between Trichy and G.S.T.

On 11.1.2000, the deceased Narayan Singh alongwith his brother Hargovind went to see his crops of wheat in the field situated at village Sagoni Kalan (Police Station Tejgarh, District Damoh).At about 8 p.m., Hargovind came back to his house but, the deceased Narayan Singh stayed in the field for the entire night.At about 9 p.m., the deceased Narayan Singh left the field to go to his house.Near a trivia in the village, the appellant met the deceased Narayan Singh and started assaulting him with a lathi (stick).On hearing his outcry, Hargovind, Hari Singh etc. rushed to the spot.Since the incident took place near the house of Arti Bai, therefore, Sultan Singh, Inder Singh and Arti Bai also went immediately to the spot.The appellant assaulted the deceased Narayan Singh on his head 4-5 times with his lathi.The deceased Narayan Singh therefore fell down on the ground and expired.Thereafter, Sunderlal Vishwakarma, father of the appellant and brother of the appellant, came to the spot alongwith other companions and took the appellant to their house.The dead body of the deceased Narayan Singh was sent for post-morten to District Hospital Damoh, where Dr.S.K.Khatri (P.W.7) had performed the post-mortem on the body of the deceased and gave his report, Ex.He found six injuries to him caused by hard and blunt object most of them were on the head of the deceased and on opening various wounds he found that there were so many fractures in his head, pieces of bones from left parieto occipital region were missing.Also there was a fracture on right parietal and temporal region.He preserved the viscera of the deceased alongwith pieces of bones and handed over to the concerned constable after sealing them for forensic science analysis.The police also recovered clothings of the appellant and all such articles were sent for forensic science analysis.In report, Ex.P/4, given by Forensic Science Laboratory, some blood was found on pant of the appellant Kamlesh and in report, Ex.( .8.2014) The following judgment of the Court was delivered by: N.K.Gupta, J. The appellant has preferred the present appeal against the judgment dated 5.2.2001 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Damoh in S.T.No.52/2000, whereby he has been convicted for offence punishable under Section 302 of IPC and sentenced to life imprisonment with fine of Rs.2,000/-.In default of payment of fine, 6 months rigorous imprisonment.The prosecution's case, in short, is that, the appellant Kamlu @ Kamlesh had some dispute with Arti Bai (P.W.3), wife of Malkhan Singh, a quarrel took place between them in the past and in that quarrel, the deceased Narayan Singh intervened and therefore, the appellant felt someDue to aforesaid assault, various bones in the head of the deceased were broken and pieces of such bones, scattered on the spot.On 12.1.2000, at about 2 a.m., Hargovind Singh went to outpost Imaliya of Police Station Tejgarh and intimated about the incident and the case was-:- 3 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 registered.P/22 given by serologist, it was found that human blood of Group 'B' was present on the pant of the appellant, which was the same as found on the Baniyan of the deceased.After due investigation, a charge-sheet was filed before the JMFC, Damoh, who committed the case to the Court of Sessions.The appellant abjured his guilt.He took a plea that he was falsely implicated in the matter due to enmity.-:- 4 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 Actually, Prahalad Singh S/o Sultan Singh was with the deceased Narayan Singh soon before the incident, who was still absconding and he was responsible for the crime.In defence, Khalai Singh @ Khilan Singh (D.W.1) and ASI Shri P.R.Prajapati (D.W.2) were examined.After considering the prosecution's evidence, the learned Sessions Judge, convicted and sentenced the appellant as mentioned above.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at length.In the present case, Dr.S.K.Khatri (P.W.7) has stated that he performed the post-mortem on the body of the deceased Narayan Singh and found six wounds on his body.A large lacerated wound over left parietal region of scalp, extending backward upto the Lt. Occipital region, size is 11 cm x 3 cm.Brain tissue is oozing from it.A large lacerated wound over left occipital region, below injury No.1, size is 12 cms x 2.5 cms.A piece of brain tissue mixed with blood and pieces of bone is seen here.Another large lacerated wound over left occipital region below injury No.2, placed obliquely downward from mid line.Size is 3 cm x 1.5 cms.-:- 5 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001A small lacerated wound behind left ear.Size is 3 cm x 1.5 cm.An abrasion over lateral surface, Rt.Elblow, size is 2 cm x 1 cm.Another abrasion below injury No.5, size is 1 cm x 1 cm.Subcutaneous tissue over both side of skull over post part shows side of haemotoma skull bones over left parieto occipital region shows multiple, irregular pieces.Three pieces of bones are present in the brain tissue lacerating the meninges brain tissue and blood vessels.Once line of fracture extended irregular to anterior part is midline upto parieto occipital region, while another line extended over right parietal and temporal bone.Fracture also present in posterior and middle fozza of bone of skull.Suture line of fronto- parietal Suture is open.Below various injuries on head, he found that there were so many fractures on the various bones of the skull and so many pieces of left parietal occipital region were missing.According to Dr.Khatri, death of the deceased was homicidal, which could be caused by a lathi.The learned counsel for the appellant did not agitate that the death of the deceased-:- 6 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 was not homicidal and therefore, it is not necessary to discuss much on that point.The prosecution had examined 4-5 eye witnesses.Out of them, Hargovind (P.W.1), Sahab Singh (P.W.2), Arti (P.W.3), Inder Singh (P.W.4) have stated about the incident, whereas Sultan Singh (P.W.11) and Lal Prasad (P.W.12) have turned hostile.However, they have accepted that Narayan Singh was lying at a trivia and nobody informed them as to who assaulted the deceased.The witnesses Hargovind (P.W.1), Sahab Singh (P.W.2), Arti (P.W.3) and Inder Singh (P.W.4) have stated that they saw that the appellant had assaulted the deceased with a lathi and due to such assault, head of the deceased was broken and upper portion of his body was filled with blood.It is true that an enmity of the appellant with the deceased is accepted by these witnesses but, enmity is a double edged weapon.Due to enmity, someone can falsely implicate his enemy or assault the enemy.Under such circumstances, the evidence of these witnesses is to be examined as to whether they are telling a truth or not.The learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that Hargovind was brother of the deceased and Arti was the person for whom a quarrel had began between the deceased and the appellant in the past.-:- 7 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 witnesses have claimed that when they reached to the spot, they found each other standing prior to the incident.However, it is a minor contradiction because if two witnesses had arrived on the spot from different directions then, there main attention must be on the deceased and the appellant and therefore, when they saw the persons surrounding the spot then, it was possible that they could found each other standing prior to their arrival.It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant that these witnesses were the created witnesses.According to the defence witness Khalai Singh @ Khilan Singh (D.W.1), he was working with Arti Bai in her field on the next day of the incident and Hargovind came to the field and took Arti Bai with the pretext that he wanted her consent to make her as witness in the case relating to death of his brother Narayan Singh.In this context, if FIR, Ex.P/1 is perused then, the incident took place at about 9 p.m. in the night and the FIR was lodged at 2 a.m. in the same night, in which it was mentioned that Arti Bai, Sultan Singh and Inder Singh were the eye witnesses.Under such circumstances, there was no need to the complainant Hargovind to contact Arti Bai in the noon of 12.1.2000 to get her consent to be a witness in the case.The testimony of the witness Khalai Singh @ Khilan Singh has no evidentiary value.-:- 8 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001The appellant has also proved a report, Ex.D/5 with help of ASI Shri P.R.Prajapati (D.W.2) that one Sunderlal has lodged an FIR against Narayan Singh on 4.1.2000 to show that the deceased Narayan Singh had a quarrel with Sunderlal, 7 days ago.However, by a report that the deceased had abused Sunderlal Vishwakarma after consuming liquor was registered as a report of non cognizable offence and no action was taken against the deceased Narayan Singh by police and therefore, if any grievance was caused to anyone then it was caused to the deceased Narayan Singh.Sunderlal had already lodged an FIR against the deceased and hence thereafter, it was not possible that Sunderlal would have killed the deceased due to such a small quarrel and hence, the proof of the report, Ex.D/5 has no evidentiary value in the present case.Detailed cross-examination was done to the eye witnesses but, nothing could be brought on record to shake their testimony.Various minor contradictions were recorded in the evidence of these witnesses with their case diary statements but, by such minor contradictions, their testimony cannot be brushed aside.The learned counsel for the appellant has also submitted that amongst the eye witnesses, Hargovind was brother of the deceased and therefore, he was expected to intervene in the incident-:- 9 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 he would have also received some injuries.However, in para 7 of his evidence, he has given an explanation that since he did not have any weapon in his hand and therefore, he was unable to stop the appellant.Therefore, due to fear, he did not try to save his brother.The testimony of these witnesses is duly corroborated by timely lodged FIR, Ex.P/1 and the post-mortem report, Ex.P/8 proved by Dr.S.K.Khatri (P.W.7).Khatri found the injuries to the deceased on various parts of his body as described by the eye witnesses relating to blows caused by the appellant and therefore, due to appropriate corroboration, the testimony of the eye witnesses should be believed.Sub Inspector D.N.Raj (P.W.14) has proved the documents, Ex.P/4 and Ex.P/5 by which one pant and one shirt of the appellant were seized from the appellant by removing them from his body.Though the witness Ramakant Patel (P.W.5) and Hamid (P.W.6) relating to those documents have turned hostile, there is no reason to disbelieve Sub Inspector D.N.Raj.The investigation officer took the shirt and pant of the deceased on the next day of the incident and therefore, it cannot be said that any manipulation was done by him.After seizure of such clothes those were sent to the forensic science laboratory alongwith other articles and by reports, Ex.P/21 and Ex.-:- 10 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 Forensic Science Laboratory and serologist, it is established that on article 'E' pant of the appellant, human blood of Group 'B' was found, which was the same as it was found from article 'I-2' at serial No.32 jersey of the deceased.The appellant did not try to prove that his own blood group was "B".Hence, by such evidence it is also established that the appellant was the culprit, who caused death of the deceased Narayan Singh, otherwise his blood could not be found on the pant of the appellant.Under such circumstances, the testimony of the eye witnesses is also corroborated by the blood stains found on the pant of the appellant.The prosecution has proved beyond doubt that the appellant assaulted the deceased Narayan Singh for 5-6 times by lathi and caused his death.State of Madhya Pradesh", [(2014) (1) M.P.L.J. (Cri.) 64] and judgment dated 7.1.2011 passed in Criminal Appeal-:- 11 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 No.568/2001 "Sunil Datta and others Vs.State of Madhya Pradesh" to show that in similar circumstances, the accused was convicted for offence punishable under Section 304 (1) of IPC.In the light of aforesaid judgments, if the facts of the present case are considered then, it would be apparent that no quarrel took place at the time of incident but, it was a planned step taken by the appellant that when he found the deceased Narayan Singh all alone, he took the advantage of such a situation.If the quarrel would have started in a spur of moment and during the quarrel, the appellant would have assaulted the deceased then, it could be said that there was no pre-meditation in the matter.The appellant targeted the head of the deceased and gave four powerful blows on his head, so that the head of the deceased was broken and pieces of bones had spread all over the spot.According to the eye witnesses, by one blow on his head, the deceased Narayan Singh fell on ground and thereafter, the appellant continued to assault on his head.If all of the assaults were caused on the head when the deceased Narayan Singh was standing then, there was no possibility of spreading the pieces of bones from his head and therefore, when the investigation officer found so many pieces of bones at the spot then, the overt-act of the appellant is proved that he continued to assault the-:- 12 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 deceased on his head though after one assault, he fell down on ground.In this connection, the report, Ex.P/18 given by medico legal institute, Bhopal is important, in which it is found that the pieces of the bone recovered from the spot were of the same person whose bones were sent by taking sample from the body of the deceased and therefore, it was duly established that the appellant assaulted the deceased Narayan Singh on his head 3 times in a forceful manner, when he was lying on the ground and hence, the bones of his head had broken and spread all over the spot.Looking to the overt-act of the appellant, he continued to assault the deceased even when he fell down on the ground, after getting one blow on his head and therefore, due to such an act, it is established that the appellant was intended to kill the deceased, otherwise when the deceased fell down on the ground, he could have left the deceased.Under such circumstances, due to factual difference, the aforesaid judgments passed by the Division Bench of this Court cannot be applied in the present case.It is proved beyond doubt that the appellant had assaulted the deceased by lathi causing his death.He was intended to kill the deceased and therefore, the appellant is guilty of offence under Section 302 of IPC.The learned Sessions Judge has committed no error in convicting the-:- 13 -:-Criminal Appeal No.367 of 2001 appellant for the aforesaid offences.

Yadav, the cause of death was shock and haemorrhage as a result of ante-mortem injury.The investigation of this case was transferred to Superintendent of Police, CB-C.I.D., Lucknow pursuant to the order passed by this Court and in compliance of the said order, Superintendent of Police, CB-C.I.D., Lucknow ordered P.W.8 Ranvir Singh, Deputy Superintendent of Police to investigate the matter.During the course of his investigation, he recorded the statements of the witnesses and inspected the place of occurrence and prepared the site plan at the behest of P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram, Pravendra Kumar and injured P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh.Upon his transfer, the investigation of the case was entrusted to R.N. Shukla, Deputy S.P., CB-C.I.D., Bareilly Division who after completing the investigation, submitted charge-sheet against the appellants, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2)."I was elected as Pradhan of my village in June, 2000 and was also holding office of District Treasurer of the association of Gram Pradhans and Block President of association of Block- Myau.In March, 2001, the election to the office of Block Pramukh was held.The election was to be fought between Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and Udayveer Singh.At that time my son Pravendra Singh was a member of B.D.C. I and my son had supported Udayveer Singh in the election of Block Pramukh but Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) had fraudulently succeeded in winning the election by four votes and ever since then Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) had been harbouring animosity towards me and my family.Apart from that, huge quantity of wheat meant for distribution in the Gram Panchayats under the Jawahar Rojgar Yojana was misappropriated by Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) on the strength of his henchmen.Consignment of wheat were forcibly lifted from the Gram Panchayats.In my capacity as the President of the association, I had filed several complaints against Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) before District Magistrate as a result of which the District Magistrate had ordered distribution of wheat directly by the B.D.O. That apart, out of the huge amount which was allocated by the government for tree plantation, Rs. 5,000/- was illegally misappropriated by Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) but I being the Pradhan did not permit the Block Pramukh to draw any cut from the amount allocated for tree plantations.I belong to Scheduled Caste (jatava) and all the accused are Brahmins by caste.Then, I took Pyare Lal to block and got the backward caste certificate prepared by Vijendra Pal Singh, Secretary on which Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) slapped me and said "saale chamaar" you will not get any caste certificate.The caste certificate was in my hand.Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) pushed us and got us thrown out of the block premises.I had kept the certificate in the pocket of my coat.Feeling greatly insulted on being slapped and abused, I and Pyare Lal went to the godown of P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh and narrated the entire episode to him.Then P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh called several officers on phone and talked to them and then he left the godown and came to block with us where S.H.O., Chandrapal Singh of P.S.- Alapur was also present.P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh complained to the S.H.O. At that time, apart from P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh, my sons Pravendra and Arvendra and nephew Ashok Kumar, Pyare Lal and Summer Singh etc. were also present there.At about 1:30-2:00 p.m., we entered the block by walking through the gate unarmed but Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) armed with rifle, his younger brother Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) armed with DBBL gun, his son Vikas Bhardwaj armed with mauser gun, his second son Monu armed with rifle and his third son Cheenu armed with single barrel gun, Dandpal Singh Yadav, S.H.O.- Alapur and Aditya Prakash Yadav, S.H.O.- Izratpur along with their force were already present there and on seeing us on the exhortation of Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) to finish all of us, they started firing at us with the intention of causing our death.Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) shot my son Arvendra in his chest who fell then and there on the ground and died on the spot.Vikas Bhardwaj shot my nephew Ashok while P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh was shot by Monu Bhardwaj.The firing resorted to by Cheenu and Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) caused injuries to several persons and we all fled from there to save our lives.Ashok died on the same day during treatment in District Hospital, Budaun.Outside the block gate, I have a shop in which, keeping in view my security and the operation of moral code of conduct, I had kept my licensed weapons. S.H.O.- Alapur got the lock of my shop forcibly broken and removed one rifle, one DBBL and one revolver together with cartridges from there and with the intention of shielding Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and other accused, fired shots from the aforesaid weapons and thereafter threw them in the block premises and thereafter, a false report was lodged by him and his family members as a counterblast falsely stating therein that I and my son were arrested on the spot while other had succeeded in escaping.The incident was witnessed by me, Pyare Lal, Summer Singh, P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh, Arshad Ali, my son Pravendra and Puttu Lal and several other persons.S.H.O.- Alapur and other police officers were under the pressure of Block Pramukh who was a member of Samajwadi Party.Ka.1).During the investigation, I had given the photo copy of the caste certificate of Pyare Lal to the Investigating Officer."The english translation of examination-in-chief of P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh is being reproduced hereinbelow:-"I own several shops and godowns near Block- Myau.In the mandi area of Block- Myau and in one of my shops, I have my office.I am the President of Rice Mill Association.On 08.01.2005 at about 10.30 a.m., I was sitting in my office.On that day, nomination papers were being filed by the delegates for election to the office of Director of Cooperative Society.While I was sitting in my office with several other persons, Sukhram and Pappu of Alapur and Puttu Lal of Nagaria came to my office and complained that the sitting Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) was not allowing anyone other than those who were his supporters to file nominations.They told me that on the strength of his weapons, he was threatening everyone.After sometime, informant Madhav Ram and Pyare Lal accompanied with two or three persons also came to my office.Madhav told me that Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) had insulted him and prevented him from filing nomination papers and had chased him out of the block.I immediately talked to S.H.O.- Alapur on phone and tried to inform him about it but the S.H.O. was not present at the police station.I therefore, rang S.D.M.- Dataganj but could not contact him either.Lastly I spoke to Sri Omkar Singh, District President of Congress party on phone and narrated the entire episode to him who assured me that he would immediately talk to S.S.P. and D.M. and communicate them about the occurrence.After sometime Sri Omkar Singh informed him on phone that he had talked to D.M. and S.S.P. and they would arrange requisite police force and ensure that nomination papers are filed peacefully.We were then informed that S.H.O.- Alapur was present in the block.While I was going to complain to the police, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) exhorted his companions to finish all of us and fired at Arvendra with his rifle.His shot hit him on his chest.Arvendra fell on the ground as soon as he was shot.Patanjali's sons and his brother also started firing at us with the intention of causing our deaths.One shot hit Ashok while I received a bullet injury on my right shoulder and Arshad, resident of Kakraal also received gunshot injuries.As a result of the firearm injuries received by us in the firing, we fell on the ground.We were taken to different hospitals in Budaun for treatment by the people present there.Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the facts stated by P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram and P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh in their cross-examinations to which our attention has been drawn by him and to which we shall refer as and when the context so requires, reflect glaring discrepancies in the manner of incident as narrated by the two witnesses of fact in their evidence tendered before the trial court vis-a-vis the recitals contained in the F.I.R. which indicate that it was the informant's side which was the aggressor that had started firing at the appellants, causing injuries to their servants although they managed to save themselves by hiding inside the rooms of the Block Office and the informant's side itself caused injuries to his own people as a result of the indiscriminate firing resorted to by them in which one Arvendra died on the spot while another Ashok succumbed to his injuries in the hospital.During his posting at village- Kora Gujjar, he had to visit every village of his area.On 05.01.2005, he had gone to village- Kora Gujjar under his area.Pyare Lal Gujjar had met him on that date and had asked him to give his caste certificate to him.Pyare Lal belonged to "guzzar" caste which was a backward caste.He told him that his caste certificate was ready.Pyare Lal went away promising to return soon but he did not return till evening and when he did not return till evening, P.W.7 Vijendra Pal Singh also went back to his house.After preparing the caste certificate of Pyare Lal, he had signed the same after putting his seal and mentioning the date thereon.At that point of time, the then Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) came and enquired from him about the paper given by him to Madhav Ram on which he told him that he had given him the caste certificate of Pyare Lal on which Block Pramukh abused Madhav Ram and tried to snatch the caste certificate from him which was followed by his manhandling and physically assaulting them.Madhav Ram was thrown out of the block premises.He proved the caste certificate of Pyare Lal which he had prepared on 05.01.2005 as (Ext.He also deposed that Block Pramukh abused Madhav with the name of his caste.P.W.9 Hulasi Ram in his examination-in-chief deposed that the incident had taken place about 8-9 years before the date on which his statement was recorded.On that date, nomination papers were being filed for the election for the office of Director of Cooperative Society.He had gone to the block along with several other villagers.On reaching the block at 2:30 a.m., he learnt that a few moments before, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1), his sons and his brother had resorted to firing in which Arvendra, Ashok and several other persons had received firearm injuries.He had also learnt that P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh had received gunshot wounds.When he reached the place of incident, he saw that the dead body of Pappu alias Arvendra was lying inside the gate of the Block Office and Ashok was lying in an injured state nearby.Ashok was taken to the hospital by the police.He also died later in the hospital.The inquest report of deceased Pappu alias Arvendra was filled up by him and other inquest witnesses namely Ved Ram, Jai Singh, Gyan Singh and Tika Ram.After the inquest proceedings were completed, the dead body was sealed before him.Neither any belt with live cartridges nor any gun or cartridges were recovered either from the body of deceased Arvendra or from the place where Ashok had died.The police officer had not recovered any gun or cartridge from the spot.He proved the injury report, supplementary report and x-ray report of injured Omendra Pratap Singh as (Ext.Ka. 4, 5 and 6) respectively.P.W.5 Head Constable Niranjan Singh, who was posted as Head Moharrir at P.S.- Alapur on 08.01.2005 proved the check F.I.R. and the carbon copy of the corresponding G.D. Entry vide rapat no. 24, time 14.20 hours as (Ext.Ka. 7 and 8) respectively.He proved the certified copy of the G.D. entry issued by Police Office, Budaun as (Ext.10) as the original G.D. had been destroyed.P.W.6 S.I. Awadhesh Singh deposed that on 09.01.2005, he was posted at P.S.- Kotwali as H.C.P. On that day, pursuant to the memo received by him from District Hospital, Budaun, he had conducted inquest on the body of deceased Ashok in the mortuary of the District- Hospital and prepared his inquest report and other related documents namely photo lash, specimen seal, challan lash, letter addressed to C.M.O and letter addressed to R.I. and proved the aforesaid documents as (Ext.10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15) respectively.P.W.8 S.I. Ranvir Singh deposed that on 08.01.2005, he was posted as Additional Magistrate, C.B.C.I.D.- Bareilly.He in his evidence tendered before the trial court narrated the various steps taken by him during the course of investigation including the inspection of the place of incident done by him, preparation of the site plan ((Ext.Ka.17) and obtaining the details of five licensed arms of Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) from the office of Additional S.P., Budaun and criminal history of all the five accused from P.S.- Alapur.It is also not disputed that there is a cross case.Delivered by Hon'ble B. K. Narayana, J.Heard Sri G.S. Chaturvedi, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Sri Ravindra Sharma, learned counsel for the appellants, Sri Akhilesh Singh, learned G.A. assisted by Sri Saghir Ahmad, learned A.G.A. for the State, Sri Amit Kumar Singh and Sri N.D. Rai, learned counsel for the informant.Death reference case no. 10 of 2012 has been connected with the criminal appeal which has been preferred by the appellants against the judgement and order dated 09.12.2014 passed by Additional Sessions Judge/Special Judge, SC & ST (PA) Act, Budaun in SST No. 39 of 2009, State Vs.Patanjali Bhardwaj & others, u/s 148, 302/149, 307/149 I.P.C. and 3 (2) (v) SC & ST (PA) Act, P.S.- Alapur, District- Budaun.Ka.3).He noted following antemortem injuries on the body of Arvendra Singh :-1) Fire-arm wound of entry 4 cm x 4 cm on right side of chest, 4.0 cm below from right clavicle cavity deep, surrounded by multiple pellet marks of wound in an area of 10 cm x 10 cm.Blackening around the wound present.2) Fire-arm wound of entry 2 cm x 2 cm on right side of chest, lateral side 4.0 cm below from injury no. 1, cavity deep.Ka.10, Ka.11, Ka.12, Ka.13, Ka.14 and Ka.15).Autopsy on the body of deceased Ashok was done by P.W.3 Dr. R.S.

Yadav, P.W.4 Dr. R.K. Verma, P.W.5 Head Constable Niranjan Singh, P.W.6 S.I. Awadhesh Singh, B.D.O.- Budaun, P.W.8 Ranvir Singh, Deputy S.P. and P.W.10 Shiv Ram Yadav, Deputy S.P., Gautam Buddh Nagar, were produced as formal witnesses.The accused-appellants in their statements recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C. denied the prosecution case as false.Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) in his statement recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C. further stated that he was falsely implicated in the present case by P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram who was inimical towards him due to political rivalry and under political pressure.On the date of the incident, he was Pramukh of Block- Myau.He had been elected Pramukh after defeating Udayveer Singh whose candidature was supported by P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram and the injured P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh on account of which they had become inimical towards him.On the date of the incident, the informant along with his companions including the deceased despite the Moral Code of Conduct being in force, with common object had entered the precincts of the block office armed with lethal weapons and had fired at him and his brother Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2).Since he and his brother were unarmed, they ran away from there to save their lives and hid themselves.In the firing done by the side of informant, Arvendra and Ashok had received gun shot injuries and died while P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh, Babloo and Chhotey had received gunshot injuries.The police had recovered fire-arms and cartridges from the place where the dead body of Arvendra Singh was lying.Report of the incident lodged by him contained correct facts.Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) in his statement recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C. reiterated the facts stated by Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1).Rahul Bhardwaj (A3) in his statement recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C. stated that on the date of the incident, he was not present at the place of occurrence and he had been falsely implicated by P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram due to political rivalry between him and his father.Varun Bhardwaj (A4) in his statement recorded u/s 313 Cr.P.C. also denied his presence at the place of occurrence and alleged false implication due to political animosity.The accused-appellants although did not examine any witness in defence but they filed documentary evidence in support of their defence, application 182 kha, copy of F.I.R. vide list 163 kha to 164 kha and vide list 170 kha to 170 kha/2, the charge-sheet filed in the cross case and other documents.Learned Additional Sessions Judge/Special Judge, SC & ST (PA) Act, Budaun 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 all the appellants and awarded three years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 10,000/- each and in default of payment of fine, six months additional imprisonment each u/s 148 I.P.C., ten years rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 50,000/- each and in default of payment in fine, one year additional rigorous imprisonment each u/s 307/149 I.P.C., simple imprisonment for life and fine of Rs. 3,00,000/- each and in default of payment in fine, two years additional imprisonment each u/s 3 (2) (v) SC & ST (PA) Act. The trial court further convicted all the four appellants u/s 302/149 I.P.C. and awarded death penalty to Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) (deceased) while Rahul Bhardwaj alias Monu (A3) and Varun Bhardwaj alias Cheenu (A4) were awarded rigorous imprisonment for life and a fine of Rs. 3,00,000/- each and in default of payment in fine, additional imprisonment of two years.Hence, this appeal.Sri G.S. Chaturvedi, learned Senior Counsel appearing for the appellants submitted that from the facts and circumstances of the case and evidence on record, it is proved that three persons from side of the appellants had received injuries in the incident and the incident admittedly having taken place within the precincts of office of Block- Myau on the day when Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) was Block Pramukh and as per the prosecution story itself, he along with his sons was present within the premises of the block office when P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram along with his sons, his nephew and his other companions who were armed, had entered the block office and started firing at the appellants.He next submitted that S.H.O. of P.S.- Alapur who had conducted the initial investigation and reached the place of occurrence immediately after the occurrence, had recovered five empty cartridges of brass and four cartridges of unknown bore from different spots at the place of occurrence and a double barrel gun no. 21176 (S/H) Made in Betejeren with a live cartridge inserted in its barrel and a pouch containing eight live cartridges from the place where deceased Ashok had fallen on the ground after being hit by gunshot and one rifle no. AB 94-488290F which was lying besides the place where dead body of Arvendra was lying along with a belt which was tied around his waist which contained eleven live cartridges and one cartridge which was inserted in the barrel of the rifle.Two empty cartridges were also recovered from the deceased Arvendra's possession and although recovery memos of the aforesaid articles were prepared by him but the same were neither exhibited nor proved by the prosecution during the trial which clearly indicates that the investigation in this case was not impartial and the material collected during the investigation by the first Investigating Officer which suggested that the incident had not taken place in the manner described in the F.I.R., was deliberately suppressed.He further submitted that both the witnesses of fact produced by the prosecution during the trial are highly interested witnesses who were admittedly political rivals of Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and seriously interested in getting him convicted falsely so that the local political arena was stripped of any opposition and the trial court clearly erred in law in convicting the appellants on the basis of their interested and untrustworthy testimony.He also submitted that there are glaring contradictions and material improvements in their testimony recorded before the trial court which go to the core of the prosecution story rendering it wholly unreliable.He also submitted that the conviction of the appellants u/s 307 r/w 149 and 302 r/w 149 I.P.C. is wholly erroneous in view of the fact that the evidence on record does not even remotely suggest that the deceased had been attacked by the appellants in pursuance of a common object.The ingredients of the offence u/s 3 (2) (v) SC & ST (PA) Act having neither been recorded in the F.I.R. nor proved in the trial, the recorded conviction of the appellants under the aforesaid sections is also liable to be set-aside.He further submitted that even if the entire prosecution case is deemed to be true for the sake of arguments, even then the imposition of death penalty on Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) is wholly unwarranted and uncalled for.The death reference deserves to be dismissed.The contradictions, if any, in their evidence are not so material so as to effect their credibility.There is no law that the evidence of relative or inimical witnesses cannot be relied upon despite the Court coming to the conclusion that such witnesses have given a correct and cogent description of the incident.The medical evidence on record fully corroborates the ocular version.The injuries received by the injured from the side of the informant have been fully explained by the two witnesses in their evidence and it is incorrect to allege that the prosecution has not approached the Court with clean hands and the true genesis of the occurrence has been suppressed.This appeal lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties present and perused the entire lower court record.Apart from eight formal witnesses, the prosecution had examined P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram and P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh as eye-witnesses of the occurrence.It is on account of the aforesaid reason that the aforesaid accused were inimical towards me and my family members and were after my life.08.01.2005 was the date fixed for filing nominations for the office of Director of Cooperative Society.My Gram Panchayat is reserved for backward tribe (guzzar).From my Gram Panchayat, Sri Pyare Lal Guzzar was desirous to contest the elections.I was supporting Sri Pyare Lal Guzzar.On 08.01.2005, I went to Block-Myau with Pyare Lal and demanded nomination form from Prem Singh, Village Development Officer who was sitting on the counter on which Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1), who was already standing there, rebuked Prem Singh and instructed him not to issue any form and after abusing us, he got us chased out of the block premises.When we got out from the gate of the block, Pyare Lal said that he does not have the certificate of backward caste so please get my caste certificate prepared.I had filed a writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court with a prayer for tranferring the investigation of the case to C.B.C.I.D. to ensure fair investigation as I did not expect fair investigation of the matter by the local police although neither me nor any person from my side had caused any injury either to the accused or any other person but the accused concocted a false cross case against me and my family members by inflicting superficial injuries on the persons of their servants and got their injury reports fabricated.All the accused are known to me and the accused also know me that I belong to jatava caste.The written report of the incident was scribed on the same day by Raju alias Rajpal Singh, son of Ram Swaroop, resident of Officer Colony, Budaun on my dictation.He proved the written report of the incident paper no. 5 Ka as (Ext.On receiving the aforesaid information, I along with all the complainants, left my godown for the block to lodge a complaint before S.H.O.- Alapur.At about 1:45 p.m., I along with all the complainants reached the gate of Block- Myau.When we reached the gate of the block, none of us were armed on account of moral code of conduct being in force.As soon as we crossed the gate, I saw that Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) armed with rifle, his brother Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) armed with DBBL, his son Vikas Bhardwaj armed with mauser gun, his sons, Monu armed with rifle and Cheenu armed with single barrel gun were present within the precincts of the block office along with Chandrapal Singh, S.O.- Alapur and Aditya Yadav, S.O.- Hazratpur along with their force.Arvendra had died on the spot while Ashok expired in the hospital during treatment later on the same day.I got myself discharged from the District Hospital and got myself admitted to Saran Hospital for better treatment.Later Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1), after inflicting superficial firearm injuries on his servants Babloo and Chhotey lodged a false F.I.R. against me and my brothers and several other persons.Thereafter, my mother and my wife filed an application for transferring the investigation of the case from civil police to C.B.C.I.D. Then the local leaders under the pressure of regional party, succeeded in prevailing upon the administration to re-transfer the investigation of the case from C.B.C.I.D. to local police on which I filed a writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court and the Hon'ble High Court passed an order for investigation of the matter by C.B.C.I.D. All the accused were known to me previously."On 08.01.2005, he was assigned the duty of A.R.O. in Block- Myau, which was the date fixed for filing of nomination papers for the office of Director of Cooperative Society.While he was on his seat, Master Madhav Ram and Pyare Lal came to him.Madhav Ram who was the sitting Pradhan of village- Kora Gujjar asked him to give the caste certificate of Pyare Lal to him on which he gave it to Master Madhav Ram.P.W.3 Dr. R.S. Yadav had conducted the postmortem on the dead body of Ashok on 09.01.2005 at about 3 p.m. According to him, the deceased had died due to shock and haemorrhage as a result of antemortem injuries.He further deposed that on the same day at about 4 p.m., he had conducted autopsy on the dead body of Arvendra Singh who was aged about 26 years.P.W.3 Dr. R.S. Yadav proved the postmortem reports of deceased Ashok and Arvendra Singh as (Ext.Ka. 2 and 3) respectively.P.W.4 Dr. R.K. Verma, in his evidence tendered before the trial court deposed that he was posted as C.M.O. On 08.01.2005 in District Hospital, Budaun at about 3:10 p.m., he had examined the injuries of injured Omendra Pratap Singh and noted following injury on his person :-Firearm wound of entry 3 x 1 cm, depth whereof could not be proved, on the front of right shoulder.He also deposed that on his advice, the injury of Omendra Pratap Singh was x-rayed.He also deposed that with the permission of District Magistrate, Pilibhit dated 03.07.2006, he had inspected the firearms of the accused deposited in safe custody of the licensed arms dealer Raj Kumar Gun House, Visalpur, District- Pilibhit on 11.07.2006 and had prepared the recovery memo of the copy of safe custody register,telephone diary and receipt book and proved the same as (Ext.Ka.18).Before he could complete the investigation, he was transferred to District- Auraiya.P.W.10 Shiv Ram Yadav, Deputy S.P., C.B.C.I.D.- Bareilly who had taken over the investigation of the case from P.W.8 Ranvir Singh, Deputy S.P. upon his transfer to Auraiya, deposed that after completing the investigation, he had filed charge-sheet against the accused-appellants, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) and Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2).He proved the charge-sheet filed against them as (Ext.Ka.20).The charge-sheet filed by him against the accused Vikas, Rahul alias Golu and Varun alias Neetu after the accused had surrendered before the Court on 17.07.2007, was proved by him as (Ext.Ka.21).The cross-version of this case namely, S.S.T. No. 41 of 2009 and 40 of 2009, which arises out of Case Crime No. 10A of 2005 u/s 148, 307/149 I.P.C. & Section 3 (2) 5 S.C./S.T. (P.A.) Act was registered on the basis of the F.I.R. lodged by Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1).According to the prosecution story as spelt out in the F.I.R. of the cross case (Ext.Ka.1) on 08.01.2005 at about 1 p.m., the informant had gone to the block head office along with some other persons in connection with the election for the office of Director of Cooperative Society.He was accompanied with his servants, Babloo, s/o Kalyan and Chhotey s/o Ajuddi, residents of Alapur.Suddenly, P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh, Ravindra Singh, both sons of Brajmohan Singh, residents of Myau, Pravendra, Arvendra, both sons of P.W.1 Madhav Ram and P.W.1 Madhav Ram and Ashok, residents of Kora Gujjar, accompanied by 8-10 persons armed with rifles and guns, came and after surrounding them, they shouted that they would not allow the informant Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) to contest the election and with the object of causing his death, they started firing at him.The informant Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) along with his brother Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2) ran inside the room of Block Office to save their lives.In the firing which ensued, both the servants of informant, Babloo and Chhotey were injured and in the cross firing done by the informant's side, Arvendra and Ashok died and Omendra Pratap Singh had received injuries.The incident was witnessed by Subedar, Ram Singh and Sneh.The injured were sent to the hospital and the F.I.R. of the incident was lodged by the informant.The brother of accused Omendra Pratap Singh had contested the election for the office of Block Pramukh and ever since then, he had been receiving information that he was after his life.Upon perusal of the evidence on record, both oral as well as documentary, the place and time of occurrence stands admitted to the parties.According to the prosecution, in this case, in the incident, two persons had lost their lives while one person had received injuries.The authors of the injuries received by the injured according to the prosecution case are the appellants while according to Patanjali Bhardwaj, the informant of the cross-case, two persons from his side i.e. the servants of the informant had received injuries.Thus, there are counter allegations of one against other of being the aggressor.From the reading of the examination-in-chief of P.W.1 Madhav Ram, we find that he has materially supported the prosecution case as spelt out by him in the F.I.R.As regards the motive, P.W.1 Madhav Ram in his examination-in-chief on page 18, 19 and 20, has narrated the various instances of rivalry between the informant's side and the appellant's side which fully establishes the motive for the accused-appellants to commit the offences with which they have been charged.As far as P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh is concerned, who had received injuries in the occurrence, his evidence on the point of Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) not allowing anyone else accept his supporters to file nomination for the election for the office of Director of Cooperative Society, is hearsay.He, however is the witness of the incident which had taken place within the premises of the Block headquarters of Alapur at 2 p.m. and he has fully corroborated the evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram on all material points pertaining to the incident namely the time, place, manner of assault, weapons used and the identity of the perpetrators of the crime.Upon a conjoint reading of the evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram, P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh and P.W.9 Hulasi Ram, it transpires that the occurrence which had taken place on 08.01.2005 within the precincts of the Block Headquarters, Alapur can be divided into two parts.The first part of the occurrence comprises of the incident which had taken place when P.W.1 Madhav Ram and Pyare Lal had gone to the Block Headquarter, Alapur for obtaining Pyare Lal's backward caste certificate from the Secretary of Gram Panchayat on 08.01.2005 and were allegedly abused by Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) by the name of their caste and who had further told them that caste certificate shall not be given to him and had thereafter, slapped P.W.1 Madhav Ram and got him thrown out of the block premises.The second part of the incident took place at about 2 p.m. when P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram came back to the block headquarter with P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh, his sons Pravendra Singh and Arvendra Singh and nephew Ashok in which Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) shot dead informant's son, Arvendra, Vikas Bhardwaj, son of Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) shot his nephew, Ashok while Monu, son of Patanjali Bhardwaj fired at P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh and several other persons received injuries from the gunshots fired by Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2).Sri G.S. Chaturvedi, learned counsel for the appellants has submitted that it is proved from the evidence collected by the first Investigating Officer who had reached the place of occurrence immediately after the incident had taken place that the claim of the informant's side that he and his companions were unarmed when they had entered the premises of Block Headquarter, Alapur, is false to the hilt.He invited our attention to three memos on page 8, 9 and 10 of the paper book.The first memo pertains to recovery of plain and blood-stained earth collected by the Investigating Officer from the place where the dead body of Arvendra was found lying on the ground which contains a recital that a belt was tied around his waist with eleven live cartridges, one rifle No. AB 94-488290F and two empty cartridges which were found lying close to the dead body of Arvendra.The second memo relates to recovery of five empty cartridges of brass and four cartridges of unknown bore from the place of occurrence while the third memo was prepared by the Investigating Officer with regard to recovery of a DBBL gun, in one of its barrel, an empty cartridge was stuck and a pouch containing 8 live cartridges from the place where the deceased Ashok had fallen on the ground after being hit by a gunshot and from where plain and blood-stained earth were collected by the Investigating Officer.By relying upon the aforesaid recovery memos, Sri G.S. Chaturvedi, learned counsel for the appellants submitted that the prosecution deliberately did not exhibit the aforesaid documents as in case the aforesaid documents were exhibited, the same would have exposed the hollowness of the prosecution's claim that P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram and his companions were unarmed at the time of the incident and it was the accused-appellants who had fired at them unprovoked.However, we do not find any substance in the aforesaid submission of Sri G.S. Chaturvedi, learned counsel for the appellants for the simple reason that P.W.1 Madhav Ram has, in his examination-in-chief on page 21 of the paper book, given a foolproof explanation for the alleged recovery of the licensed rifle beside the dead body of Arvendra Singh together with a belt containing 11 live cartridges, two empty cartridges, a DBBL gun, one empty cartridge and a pouch containing 8 live cartridges from the spot where the deceased Ashok had fallen after receiving gunshot injuries by deposing that outside the gate of the Block Office on the road, he had a shop in which due to security reasons and due to the fact that moral code of conduct was in force, he had kept his licensed arms. S.H.O.- Alapur after getting the lock of his shop broken open, had taken out one rifle, one DBBL and one revolver along with live cartridges and with the object of shielding the accused, he kept the aforesaid arms and ammunition near the dead body of Arvendra and at the place of occurrence where injured Ashok had fallen after receiving firearm injuries.Thereafter, he had lodged a false F.I.R. implicating him and his son Pravendra showing therein that they had been arrested on the spot and giving an opportunity for the accused to run away from the place of incident.We have very carefully gone through the cross-examination of P.W.1 Madhav Ram done by the defence counsel on the aforesaid point but we do not find that the defence has been able to extract anything out of him which may indicate that the evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram on the aforesaid aspect of the matter is false.It is true that P.W.1 Madhav Ram had not stated the aforesaid facts in his F.I.R. but he has furnished a satisfactory explanation for the aforesaid omission in his cross-examination on page 44 of the paper book by deposing that the fact that the lock of his shop had been broken open and the weapons kept there removed and scattered all over the place of occurrence, came to his knowledge when he had returned from the police station after lodging the F.I.R. of the occurrence.He denied the suggestion given to him that the fact deposed by him that the police had removed the weapons belonging to his children from his shop and after firing from the same, the police had planted the same at the place of incident was an afterthought.He further denied the suggestion that the weapons were not removed from his shop.The evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram on this point finds full corroboration from the facts deposed by P.W.9 Hulasi Ram who had reached the place of occurrence immediately after the incident on page 94 of the paper book in his examination-in-chief where he has categorically deposed that on reaching the place of occurrence, he found the dead body of Pappu alias Arvendra lying inside the gate of the Block Office and near him Ashok was also lying on the ground in an injured state.He was taken to the hospital by the police personnel for treatment where he had died later.The inquest on the dead body of deceased Arvendra was held in the presence of the inquest witnesses which included him.The dead body was sealed in his presence.He had neither seen any belt tied around the waist of Arvendra nor any belt with live cartridges or any gun was lying near the deceased or the injured Ashok.The police inspector had not recovered any cartridge or any gun from the spot.There is no cross-examination of P.W.9 Hulasi Ram by the defence on the aforesaid point.Now coming to the submission made by the learned counsel for the appellants that investigation in this case was tainted as material collected by the first Investigating Officer who had arrived at the place of occurrence immediately after the occurrence which indicated that informant, his companions, the two deceased and one injured were armed, was deliberately suppressed by the prosecution with the object of protecting the informant's side is concerned, the same is without any merit for the reason that in case there was any material collected by the first Investigating Officer of the case which supported the defence, the appellants could have got the same proved by examining the first Investigating officer as a defence witness which they failed to do.We have very carefully scanned the record and we have not found any material which may even remotely suggest that the matter was not investigated fairly.The postmortem report of deceased Ashok and deceased Arvendra Singh (Ext.Ka.2 and 3) respectively and the injury report and supplementary report of P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh (Ext.Ka. 4 and 5) fully corroborate the prosecution story that both Arvendra and Ashok had died as a result of gunshot wounds received by them in the occurrence while gunshot injury was also found on the person of P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh.Both the witnesses of fact deposed in unison that the author of firearm wound received by Arvendra was Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) while author of those sustained by Ashok was his son Vikas Bhardwaj and the injuries received by injured P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh and other injured were attributed to Monu and Vashishtha Bhardwaj (A2).The evidence of the two witnesses of fact examined during the trial on the point of specific roles assigned to the four appellants is throughout consistent and clinching.We do not find any reason to disbelieve them.The presence of P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh who is an injured witness at the place of incident has not been challenged by the prosecution.The said witness has been subjected to extensive cross-examination.However, the defence has not been able to elicit any material contradiction in his statement.Now, coming to the improvements and discrepancies in the evidence of P.W.1 informant Madhav Ram and P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh as highlighted by the learned counsel for the appellants, we are of the considered view that the contradictions pointed out by the learned counsel for the appellants in the evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram are not so material so as to affect the core of the prosecution story rendering it unbelievable.Whenever he went to attend the meetings of the block committee, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) used to address him in unsavoury language.However, the aforesaid fact does not find mention either in the F.I.R. or in his statement recorded u/s 161 Cr.P.C. which facts stood admitted to P.W.1 Madhav Ram in his cross-examination on page 25 of the paper book.However, on page 29 of the paper book P.W.1 Madhav Ram categorically denied the suggestion given to him that he had come to the block office with Pyare Lal on 08.01.2005 for the first time at about 10 a.m. and reiterated that he had come to the block office on 08.1.2005 at 12 noon.Learned counsel for the appellants has further invited our attention to the examination-in-chief of P.W.1 Madhav Ram on page 21 of the paper book in which he had for the first time deposed that S.H.O. of P.S.- Alapur and other police officers were under the pressure of Block Pramukh, Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) who was a member of the ruling Samajwadi Party and had considerable influence in the area; he had moved the High Court for fair investigation of the matter for transferring the investigation from the local police on which he had no faith to CB-C.I.D. However, on being contradicted with his statement recorded u/s 161 Cr.P.C. which contained no such recital, he stated that he had no explanation for the omission on the part of P.W.8 Ranvir Singh, the Investigating Officer to record the aforesaid fact in his statement.On being further cross-examined as to why he had not stated the aforesaid fact in the F.I.R., he stated that he was in a state of shock as his two sons had died and in the F.I.R., he merely narrated the facts relating to the incident.In our opinion, the contradictions and the improvements in the evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram to which our attention has been invited by the learned counsel for the appellants are not so material so as to persuade us to disbelieve his evidence tendered by him with regard to the time, place and manner of assault and the identity of the perpetrators of the crime.On the aforesaid four aspects of the matter, his evidence is throughout consistent and clinching and we do not find any reason to disbelieve him.Moreover, his evidence further finds full corroboration from the evidence of injured witness P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh.The medical evidence on record also fully corroborates the prosecution story.In State of Rajasthan Vs.These discrepancies are due to normal errors of observation, normal errors of memory, due to lapse of time, due to mental disposition such as shock and horror at the time of the occurrence and the like material discrepancies are those which are not normal and not expected of a normal person.The admissibility of the evidence of P.W.1 Madhav Ram and P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh who is an injured witness, has also been assailed by the learned counsel for the appellants on the ground that since P.W.1 Madhav Ram is the father of Arvendra (deceased) and uncle of Ashok (deceased) and P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh is a political rival of the appellants, they fall in the category of interested witnesses and hence, no reliance can be placed on their testimony for the purpose of recording the conviction of the appellants.Darshan Singh (PW 4) was an injured witness.He had been examined by the doctor.He had given full details of the incident as he was present at the time when the assailants reached the tubewell.This is as a consequence of the fact that the injury to the witness is an inbuilt guarantee of his presence at the scene of the crime and because the witness will not want to let his actual assailant go unpunished merely to falsely implicate a third party for the commission of the offence.We have already taken note of the fact that from the side of the prosecution while two persons Arvendra Singh and Ashok had lost their lives, Arvendra had received two gunshot wounds of entry on his chest and one gunshot wound of exit, deceased Ashok had received one gunshot wound on the left side of his chest and that apart injured P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh had received one gunshot wound on his shoulder whereas on the contrary, from the side of the accused, neither anyone died nor received any life threatening injury.The appellants claim that their two servants Babloo and Chhotey received gunshot injuries but their injuries are on their non-vital parts.The version given by the appellants that although the informant, his sons, nephew and his other companions had fired at them with rifles, revolvers and guns after surrounding them but while two persons from the side of the informant, Arvendra and Ashok died while P.W.2 Omendra Pratap Singh received gunshot injuries while all the accused-appellants managed to save their lives, appears to be wholly unbelievable and childish.As regards the three persons who had allegedly received injuries in the incident, from the side of the appellants, Arshad Ali does not appear to be connected with the dispute between the informant and the accused side.The injuries which have been received by them are pellet injuries and are on their non-vital parts with no blackening.Thus, in view of the foregoing discussion, we do not find any hesitation in holding that the prosecution has succeeded in proving all the charges framed against the accused-appellants beyond all reasonable doubts.He had been awarded life sentence by the judgement and order dated 05.08.2010 passed in Special Session Trial No. 53 of 1994 arising out of Case Crime No. 448/92, P.S.- Alapur on his conviction u/s 364 I.P.C. Apart from the aforesaid, he on the date of the passing of the impugned judgement and order by the trial court, was also accused in Case Crime No. 2287/2013 u/s 323, 504 I.P.C., Case Crime No. 1260/2013 u/s 60 of the Excise Act.Thus, from the material available on the record, it is apparent that Patanjali Bhardwaj (A1) has criminal antecedents.

Five accused that were charged with offences punishable under Sections 148, 447, 302, 307 323 and 149 of I.P.C, were Atma Singh, his son Gurbax Singh, son of brother-in-law of Atma Singh, named Gurjant Singh, another son of Atma Singh, named Bachint Singh and one Angrez Singh @ Geja Singh.He was sentenced to undergo life imprisonment and to pay fine of Rs. 1000/-.Bachint Singh was found guilty of offence punishable under Section 307, IPC for causing injuries to Nachhattar Singh and was sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for a period of five years and to pay a fine of Rs. 500/-.The remaining -- Gurbax Singh, Gurjant Singh and Angrez Singh @ Geja Singh were acquitted by the trial court.Two appeals were filed before the High court against the judgment and order of the trial court.295-DB of 1995 was filed by Atma Singh and his son Bachint Singh to challenge their conviction and sentence.A.No.56-DBA of 1996 was filed by the State against four persons, namely, Gurbax Singh, Angrez Singh @ Geja Singh, Gurjant Singh and Bachint Singh.The first three had been acquitted by the trial court and Bachint Singh was convicted only under Section 307, IPC but acquitted of offence under Section 302, IPC and other provisions for which he had been charged.The High court by common judgment, which is under challenge in this appeal, dismissed the appeal that had been filed by Atma Singh and Bachint Singh (Crl.A.No.295-DB of 1995) and allowed the State appeal against acquittal (Crl.A.No.56-DBA of 1996) and aforesaid four respondents in the appeal have been found guilty of offence punishable under Section 302 read with Section 149, IPC and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life and fine of Rs. 1000/- each and to suffer further imprisonment of three months in default of payment of fine.They have also been convicted and sentenced to undergo imprisonment for a period of five years for the offences punishable under Sections 447, 307, 323 read with Section 149, IPC besides fine of Rs. 5000/- each and in default of payment of fine, to undergo further imprisonment for three months each.All the sentences have been directed to run concurrently.The conviction of Atma Singh by the trial court as affirmed by the High Court has become final.Learned counsel for the appellants, Mr. J. K. Das, submits that Atma Singh has not challenged the impugned judgment of the High Court.Two appeals were filed by the four respondents who had been convicted by the High Court allowing the State appeal against acquittal.Gurjant Singh preferred separate appeal (Crl.154 of 2002).The remaining three-- Gurbax Singh, Angrez Singh and Bachint Singh have preferred this common appeal.The appeal of Gurjant Singh has been dismissed by this Court in terms of judgment dated 3.9.2002 by a bench of which one of us (Justice H.K. Sema) was a member.Therefore, the judgment of the High Court in so far as it convicts Gurjant Singh has also attained finality.Reverting now to the present appeal filed by the remaining three, it is necessary to notice in brief the prosecution case so as to examine the submission of Mr. Das so as to distinguish the case of the appellants from that of Gurjant Singh.The occurrence took place at about 9.30 a.m on 15th October, 1990 in the fields in village Khialivala.The deceased Kaka Singh @ Lachhman and the injured witness PW3- Nachhattar Singh are brothers.The prosecution story was revealed on the statement of PW3 to the effect that he along with his brother Kaka Singh, PW4- Sukhdev Kaur- wife of PW3- Nachhattar Singh, and a labourer Ram Chand had gone to the fields to pick cotton.While they were so doing Atma Singh and Gurjant Singh armed with gandasas, Gurbax Singh and Bachint Singh armed with spears, Geja Singh and three more armed with dangs reached their fields.Atma Singh raised a lalkara that they should be taught a lesson for buying their land.He gave a gandasa blow to Kaka Singh on the left side of his head.Gurjant also gave a gandasa blow on the head of Kakka Singh, Gurbax Singh gave a spear blow on the left flank of Kaka Singh.Bachint Singh gave a spear blow to PW3 and a second blow on the portion above the naval.Resultantly, PW3 fell down.Geja Singh gave a dang blow on the head of PW3 and also on his left arm.It was also alleged that there was previous enmity between the two groups.Civil litigation was pending in court.There was also criminal cases.They had blamed complainant party for the murder of elder brother of Gurjant Singh.The High Court on appreciation of evidence reverse the acquittal of these three appellants and Gurjant Singh as already noticed.In respect of Bachint Singh, one of the contention urged by Mr. J.K. Das is that no appeal had been filed by State of Punjab against his acquittal for offence under Section 302/149 IPC and, therefore, the High Court committed a serious illegality in convicting him for the said offence reversing the judgement of the trial court.Our attention has been drawn to a factual statement in the impugned judgment while narrating facts that State of Punjab has filed Crl.A.No.56-DB-A of 1996 to challenge the acquittal of Gurbax Singh, Gurjant Singh and Geja Singh.It is true that at the particular portion of the judgment pointed out by learned counsel, name of Bachint Singh has not been mentioned.It is evident that it is on account of slip or typographical error that while narrating fact at particular portion of judgment name of Bachint Singh has not been mentioned.That, however, does not lead to the conclusion that State did not challenge the acquittal of Bachint Singh for offence under Section 302/149 and other offences.It is evident from the perusal of the record that Crl.A.56.DB-A of 1996 was filed not only challenging the acquittal of the affronted three persons but also challenging the acquittal of Bachint Singh for the offence for which he was not found guilty by the trial court.Bachint Singh was admittedly respondent no.4 in Crl.He was represented by a counsel before the High Court.In the course of the judgment the High Court has referred to detail facts and the evidence against Bachint Singh as well before coming to the conclusion that he too is guilty of offence punishable under Section 302 read with Section 149 IPC and other offences.We, therefore, find no substance in the contention that State had not challenged the acquittal of Bachint Singh in the appeal filed by it before the High Court.In respect of the appellant Gurbax Singh, a submission was sought to be urge to create a doubt in respect of injury said to have been inflicted by him on the left flank of deceased Kaka Singh with a spear blow submitting that on the shirt of Kaka Singh that had been seized there has no hole which makes, according to the learned counsel, the infliction of injury, by Gurbax Singh, doubtful.In respect of appellants Bachint Singh and Angrez Singh, @ Geja Singh the contention sought to be urged was that even according to the case of the prosecution, they had allegedly inflicted injuries not to Kaka Singh but to PW3 and, therefore, it was submitted, that these two appellants could not be held guilty for offence under Section 302/149, IPC and other offences as noticed hereinbefore.All the five accused armed with weapons had gone to the fields where Kaka Singh, his brother PW3 and others were working has been fully established from the evidence.It has also been fully established that there was previous enmity between the two groups.

Chauhan (PW5) and queried from him whether the injuries sustained by the deceased could be caused by these articles.On that, Dr D.V.S. Chauhan (PW5) gave the query report (Ex.P-7) to the effect that the injuries found on dead body of deceased by him during postmortem could be caused by these articles.So only on the ground that Pannalal (PW1), Prem Singh (PW3) and Janak Rani (PW4) are the close relatives of the deceased and no other witnesses was produced by the prosecution on that point their statements can not be discarded.Although, appellant took the defence that at the time of incident he was not at village and went to search his wife and in this regard also produced Manak (DW-1) and Maujialal (DW-2) in his defence.They deposed that on the date of incident the appellant was not at the village and had gone to search for his wife 5 to 6 days before Hiralal's death and returned 4-5 days after the incident, but the appellant did not give any suggestion to Pannalal (PW1), Prem Singh (PW3) and Janak Rani (PW4) that appellant had gone to search his wife 5 to 6 days before the death of Hiralal and returned 4-5 days after Hiralal's death.On the contrary, he gave suggestion to Prem Singh (PW3) in his cross examination that on the date of incident, police arrested the appellant.From the statement of Janakrani (PW4), Prem Singh (PW3) and Pannalal (PW1) it is clearly proved that on 01/08/2006 at 9 pm appellant went to Hiralal's house and took him to his house.Prem Singh (PW3) also last saw Hiralal with the appellant in his house at night.Thereafter, next day in the morning at about 6 a.m., Hiralal's dead body was found in a pit near appellant's house and appellant was absconding from his house.Vinod Kumar Sharma (PW10) deposed that on 2/8/2006 he was posted at SHO, Khurai, Pannalal lodged the report (Ex.P-1).On that report, he registered Crime No.353/2006 and investigated the matter.During investigation, he went to spot and prepared spot map (Ex.P-2) and prepared inquest report (Ex.P-4) of dead body of Hiralal and seized simple soil and blood stained soil from the spot and prepared seizure memo (Ex.P-5).He further deposed that on the same day, he searched appellant's house and prepared search memo (Ex.P-12).The appellant's house was locked, so before entering in to the house, he got the lock of the appellant's house broken and prepared a memo (Ex.P-13).Thereafter, he seized blood stained soil, simple soil, one blood stained stick, one blood stained scissor and one blood stained quilt cover and prepared seizure memo (Ex.Gopal (PW7) in his examination in chief deposed that police seized scissor, stick, quilt cover and blood stained soil from the spot.He did not deposed that police seized these articles from the appellant's house.(Delivered on 21/02/2017) Per R.K.Dubey, J.This criminal appeal has been filed under Section 374 of Cr.P.C. against the judgment dated 23/5/2007 passed by ASJ, Khurai, Distt.He also sent all seized articles to FSL, Sagar for chemical examination along with draft (Ex.P-15) and from FSL Sagar, report (Ex.16) was received.He also took photographs of Hiralal's dead-body (Ex.17) and after investigation, police filed charge sheet against the appellant before JMFC, Sagar, who committed the case to the Court of Sessions, where on that charge-sheet S.T. No.372/2006 was registered.Learned Additional Session Judge, Khurai, Distt.Sagar framed the charge against the appellant for the offence punishable under Section 302 of the IPC.The appellant abjured the guilt and took the defence that he was innocent and has falsely been implicated in the case and at the time of the incident, he was not in the village.He had gone in search of his wife.In this regard, he also produced Manak (DW1) and Maujilal (DW2)in his defence.However, after trial, learned Additional Sessions Judge found appellant Pajan Singh guilty for the aforesaid offence and sentenced him as mentioned above.Being aggrieved by the impugned judgment, appellant Pajan Singh filed this criminal appeal.The circumstantial evidence should not only be consistent with the guilt of the accused but should be inconsistent with his innocence.If any of the said circumstances are consistent with the innocence of the accused or the chain of the continuity of the circumstance is broken, the accused is entitled to the benefit of the doubt.On the point that deceased Hiralal died on the intervening night of 1- 2/8/2006 at Village Nirtala and his death was homicidal.On that day, Constable Shiv Kumar brought dead body of Hiralal in the hospital.He conducted autopsy of dead body of Hiralal and found following injuries on his body:Incised wound 12 cm x 2cm transverse situated

to the body.Injuries were caused by sharp and penetrating object and death was homicidal.Duration of death was within twenty-four hours since postmortem.His statement also corroborated from the autopsy report (Ex.P/6).There is no infirmity in their statement in this regard.So, there is no reason to disbelieve their statements.From their statements, it is clearly proved that Hiralal died on the intervening night of 1& 2/8/2006 at Village Nirtala and his death was homicidalAs regards to the point that appellant murdered deceased Hiralal, although there is no eye witness of the incident and prosecution story is solely based on circumstantial evidence but prosecution produced evidence against appellant regarding following circumstances:-(i) On 01/08/2006 at 9 PM in the night, appellant took deceased Hiralal from his house and thereafter in the night Premsingh (PW-3) last saw deceased Hiralal in appellant's house with him.(ii) Next day i.e. on 02/08/06, at 6 AM in the morning, dead body of Hiralal was found near appellant's house and appellant was absconding.His house was locked.(iii) On 02/08/06 police broke lock of appellant's house and seized one quilt cover, stick and scissor from the house of appellant Pajan Singh.Stains of human blood were also found on these articles.(iv) A Baka and clothes (Shirt and trouser of appellant), bed-sheet, pillow cover were seized on the instant of appellant.Stains of human blood were found on these articles.(v) The son of deceased Hiralal had taken wife of appellant, so appellant had a motive to kill Hiralal.In this regard, Janak Rani (PW4), the wife of deceased Hiralal clearly deposed that on the date of the incident at about 9 p.m., appellant came to his house and took Hiralal with him.Thereafter, when her son Prem Singh (PW3) came from the temple, she told him that appellant Pajan Singh had taken his father to his house.On that, Prem Singh went to appellant's house and after returning from appellant's house told her that deceased Hiralal had told him to go and that they would come shortly.On this, she put his bed in his room and slept with her son in another room.When she got up in the next morning and saw that Hiralal had not come back, she told this to her brother-in-law (dever) Rajaram.He went to see Hiralal and came back and said that Hiralal's dead body was lying in the pit in front of Govind's house.In this regard, her statement is also corroborated by the statement of her son Prem Singh (PW3), who also deposed that on the date of incident at 9.30 p.m., he had gone to temple and when he returned back, his mother Janakrani told him that at 9.00 p.m. appellant Pajan Singh had come to the house and took Hiralal with him.On that, he went to appellant's house, 8 where he saw Hiralal sitting on the box in the appellant's house and talking with him.When he asked his father Hiralal to come home he asked him to go and that he would come shortly.On this, he returned to his house.Next day, in the morning when he wake up and saw that Hiralal did not return home, so at 6 a.m., he went to appellant's house to see Hiralal but no one was there and appellant's house was locked.On that, he returned to his house.Then, her mother told Rajaram and then he, Rajaram and other persons went in search of Hiralal and saw his dead body lying in a pit in front of Govind Pateriya's stockade.Janakrani's statement is also corroborated by the statement of Pannalal (PW1), who also deposed that on the date of incident at 6 a.m., his brother Rajaram came to his house and told him that Janak Rani (PW4) told him that appellant had taken Hiralal to his house in the night.On that, at 6 a.m. he went to appellant's house but no one was there.His house was locked.On that, he searched his brother Hiralal and he found dead body of Hiralal in a pit situated at in front of Govind Pateriya's stockade.He also saw marks of injuries on the dead body of Hiralal.In this regard, Pannalal's statement is also corroborated from the FIR (Ex.P-1) lodged by him.Learned counsel of appellant submitted that Pannalal (PW1), Prem Singh (PW3) and Janak Rani (PW4) are the close relatives of deceased Hiralal, so their statements can not be relied but his arguments has no force Hon'ble Apex court in the case of State of A.P vs S. Rayappa & Ors (2006) 4 SCC 516 observed :-"By now it is a well-established principle of law that testimony of a witness otherwise inspiring confidence cannot be discarded on the ground that he being a relation of the deceased is an interested witness.The appellant did not put any suggestion to prosecution witnesses as to where else he was if not present in the village on the relevant date.Even, in his examination under Section 313 of CrPC, appellant did not disclose anything about where he was if not in a village at the time of incident.So in this regard, statement of Manak (DW-1) and Maujialal (DW-2) appear to be afterthought and only on the basis of the statements of Pannalal (PW1), Prem Singh (PW3) and Janak Rani (PW4) that deceased Hiralal was last seen with the appellant cannot be discarded.At this point, learned counsel for the appellant cross examined these witnesses at length but there is no 10 such thing coming out on the basis of which the statements of the above mentioned witnesses are considered to be false.So, there is no reason to disbelieve their statements on the point.P-14),which was also proved by Gopal (PW7),who also deposed that on the date of incident at 7 a.m., Pannalal informed him that the dead body of Hiralal was lying in front of Govind Pateriya's house.On that, he went to spot and saw the dead body of Hiralal, where police prepared inquest report of dead body of Hiralal.Thereafter, police searched appellant's house and prepared search memo (Ex.P-12) and also prepared one memo regarding opening of lock of 11 appellant's house (Ex.P-13) and police also seized one scissor, one stick, one quilt cover from the spot and prepared seizure memo (Ex.P-14).Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that there are many contradictions and omissions in the statement of Gopal (PW7) regarding seizure of articles from the appellant's house.Even in his cross-examination admitted that he did not know what the police wrote in documents.He also stated that documents were prepared by R.N. Suryawanshi (PW9) while in the Ex.P-12, 13 & 14, it is mentioned that these documents was prepared by Vinod Kumar Sharma (PW10).So, the recovery of blood stained soil, scissor, blood stained quilt cover and stick from appellant's house become doubtful.Although, Gopal (PW7) in his examination-in-chief deposed that police seized one scissor, stick and one quilt cover from the spot but he in para 8 of his cross examination clearly stated that police seized quilt cover (Palli) from one of the room of appellant's house, which was put on bed and stick found in the courtyard and scissor was also found in the almirah of the room and he also denied from the suggestion given by the appellant's counsel in his cross examination that he did not see blood stains in appellant's house.So, the contradiction came out in his statement regarding seizure of one scissor, one stick and one quilt cover and blood stains from the house of the appellant by the police no 12 longer remain important.It is also proved that on 02/08/06 police seized one stick, one scissor and one quilt cover from the house of appellant after breaking the lock of the house.R.N. Suryawanshi (PW9) also deposed that on 14/8/2006, he was posted as Sub-Inspector.On that date, he arrested the appellant and prepared the arrest memo (Ex.P-10).In the interrogation, the appellant informed that he had concealed one Baka (Article C) in his house and also stated that he concealed a trouser, a shirt, one bed sheet and pillow cover behind Shrimant Seth's petrol pump.On that, he prepared memorandum (Ex.P-8) and seized one Baka from the house of the appellant and prepared seized memo (Ex.11) and also seized one pant, one shirt, one bed sheet and pillow cover from a pit situated behind Shrimant Seth's petrol pump on the information of appellant and prepared seizure memo (Ex.P-9).In this regard, his statement is also corroborated by the memorandum (Ex.P-9) and seizure memo (Ex.P- 11 and 12) which were also proved by the independent witness Jagat Das (PW-6) and Sanjeev Kumar (PW-8).Learned counsel of the appellant submitted that Jagatdas (PW-6) admitted in his cross examination that appellant Pajan Singh did not give any information to the police in front of him.So the memorandum (Ex.P/8) prepared by the R.N. Suryavanshi (PW-9) before this witness become doubtful.On that, R.N. Suryawanshi (PW9) prepared information memo (Ex.P-9).This witness in his cross examination also deposed that police had questioned appellant for 10 to 15 minutes in front of him Which shows that the facts of this effect have come in his cross examination due to not understanding the question correctly.There is no material contradiction and omission in this regard in the statements of Jagatdas (PW-6), Sanjeev Kumar (PW-8) and R.N. Suryavanshi (PW-9).So, it is also proved that police seized one Baka from the house of the appellant, and one bed sheet, pillow cover, shirt and pant from a pit situated behind the Shrimant Seth's petrol pump on the information of appellant.R.N. Suryawanshi (PW9) also deposed that he also sent sized scissor and Baka for query and Dr D.V.S. Chauhan (PW5), who conducted autopsy of dead body of Hiralal deposed that on 19/8/06 he examined scissor and one Baka which was brought by the constable and gave query report (Ex.P-7) to the effect that the injuries found by him over the dead body of deceased Hiralal at the time of autopsy can be caused by these articles.R.N. Suryawanshi (PW9) also deposed that he had sent all seized articles for chemical analysis to FSL Sagar through S.P. Sagar along with draft (Ex.15) from where report (Ex.P-16) was received.In that report, it is mentioned that the blood was found on appellant's shirt, pant (article B1 and B2) , bed sheet (article B3), pillow cover (article B4), stick (article C), scissor (article D), quilt cover (article E) and blood stained soil (article F and H) and the blood found on stick (article C), quilt cover (article E) and blood stained soil (article F and H) were of human blood.From the report, it is also proved that blood was found on the articles i.e. stick (article C), scissor (article D), quilt cover (article E) and blood stained soil which were seized from the appellant's house and the blood found on the stick (article C) and blood stained soil were of human blood and blood was also found on bed sheet, pillow cover (article B3 to B5) which was seized by the police on the information of appellant.Janakrani (PW4) deposed that five days before the incident, her son Ramsingh took the appellant's wife and did not return till the date of incident.Pannalal (PW1) and Prem Singh (PW3) also corroborated this fact.The defence witness Manak (DW1) and Maujilal (DW2) also deposed that before the incident, Ramsingh had taken appellant's wife.So, it is also proved that before the incident Ramsingh, son of deceased Hiralal took appellant's wife.Facts of the cases Sangili alias Sanganathan vs. State of Tamil Nadu represented by Inspector of Police, Babudas vs. State of M.P., Lakhanpal vs State of M.P. (supra), relied by the learned counsel of appellant do not match with the present case.In the first case, evidence of last seen together was not established.While in this case evidence of last seen together is clearly established from the prosecution evidence.In the second case, Apex Court opined that sole circumstance of false plea of alibi, is not enough to prove the guilt of accused.In third case, learned Apex Court opined the sole circumstance of last seen together is not enough the prove the guilt.While in this case, apart from the false plea of alibi and last seen together other circumstance are also proved against the appellant.So, these judgements do not help the appellant much.Learned counsel of the appellant also submitted that at the most, act of the appellant comes under the purview of section 304 part II of the IPC.In this regard, he also placed reliance on the Apex Court judgements passed in the case of Arjun and another vs. State of Chhattisgarh (2017)3 SCC247 and Adu Ram vs. Mukna & Ors.2004 (crims) 175 (SC) but facts of these cases also do not match with the instant case as in the first case, at the time of incident, deceased and other witness were cutting trees and there was exchange of words which resulted in altercation and during the said altercation, the appellants attacked the deceased.The incident occurred due to a sudden fight, while in this case the appellant did not take plea that the incident occurred due to a sudden fight and in the second case incident occurred over a trifling issue of damage of crop by the goats.While in this case, appellant took the deceased from his house to his house, where he committed murder of the deceased.So, these cases also do not help to the appellant much.(i) On 01/08/2006 in the night at 9 p.m., the appellant took deceased Hiralal from his house and thereafter in the night Premsingh (PW-3) also last saw deceased Hiralal in appellant's house with the appellant.(ii) Next date i.e. 02/08/06 in the morning, at 6 a.m.,dead body of Hiralal was found near appellant's house and appellant was absconding.His house was locked.(iii) On 02/08/06 police broke lock of appellant's house and seized one blood stained stick, scissor and quilt cover and blood stained 16 soil from the house of the appellant and the blood found on stick and soil was human blood.(iv) Police also seized one blood stained bed sheet, pillow cover, shirt, pant and one Baka on the information of the appellant.Appellant did not give any explanation regarding these circumstances.On the contrary, appellant took the false plea that he had gone to search for his wife 5 to 6 days before the death of Hiralal and returned back 4-5 days after the death of Hiralal.That false plea filled the gap and provided the "missing link" to complete the chain of circumstances which do not permit any other inference to be drawn but one that points towards the guilt of the appellant.

The members of the CISF Unit at Bokaro hadformed an all-India association in March 1979 and oneSadanand Jha, Respondent No. 1, was elected as its GeneralSecretary.Thereafter, a country wide agitation was carriedon for recognition of the said association.In June 1979some of the members of the said association were called uponto meet the Home Minister at Delhi.A delegation of the saidassociation went to Delhi.While there they staged ademonstration.Some of the demonstrators, including SadanandJha, were arrested.What happened thereafter can best berelated by extracting paragraphs 3 to 9 of the supplementaryReturn filed by Shri Madan Gopal, the Deputy Inspector-General, CISF Unit of Bokaro Steel Plant, Bokaro, pursuantto the leave granted by this Court.These paragraphs read asfollows :The said persons were arrested at Delhi, but subsequently released on bail.Out of 1900 persons belonging to CISF Unit, Bokaro Steel Plant, Bokaro about 1000 persons participated in the processions and violent demonstrations.The said employees indulged in agitational acts and violent indiscipline.The said personnel unleashed a reign of terror in the unit lines and openly incited others to disobey the lawful orders.The said persons indulged in several acts of violence and created a very serious law & order problem and an atmosphere of collective violence and intimidation.Annexed hereto and marked Annexure AFD- I is the request from the Home Commissioner, Bihar Government to the Ministry of Defence, Government of India dated 23.6.1979 requesting for the deployment of the Army so as to restore normalcy in the area.The State Government had also deployed 9 Magistrates to assist the Army authorities as also the CRPF for restoring the normal conditions at the Bokaro Steel Plant.A copy of the order is enclosed herewith and market as Annexure AFD-IIOn 24.6.1979, on seeing the arrival of the Army, the agitators started making preparations for armed resistance by putting up sand bags, flood lights and barricades in the CISF Lines.They had gained the control of CISF Lines and the Officers were not allowed to have any access to the Lines or to other ranks of CISF.On 25.6.1979, the Army along with 9 Magistrates took up positions round the CISF Lines in the early hours and called upon the agitators to give up charge of the Armoury.Inspite of giving repeated warnings by the authorities to give up charge of the Armoury, the agitators did not give up arms, but, instead, resorted to violence.The agitators started firing at 0320 hours at the Army.The Army returned the fire.The said exchange of fire continued for 3 hours before the Army could spell out the violent retaliation of286 the agitators.The said violent exchange of fire resulted in the instant death of one Army Major and 2 more Army personnel were also killed as a result of firing by the CISF personnel.It may also be stated that there were 22 death in the course of the said pitched battle, which went on for three hours between the violent armed agitators and the Army.In regard to the aforesaid violent activities and the commission of offences, about 800 personnel were rounded up by the Army and later on arrested by the local police.It is pertinent to mention here that at the relevant time, about 1900 personnel were deployed in CISF Unit, Bokaro Steel Plant, Bokaro.More than 1000 personnel participated in the aforesaid agitational activities.Besides the persons arrested by the authorities concerned, a substantial number of agitators were at large.Most of them either fled away or went underground and large number of arms and ammunitions were also with them.The search and seizure of arms and ammunition were going on and as a result thereof up till 1.7.1979, 65 rifles along with large quantity of ammunitions, 11 Molotov cooktails, 20 kgs.of sulphur, 20 kgs of glass chips and other explosives and 1048 empties of .303 ammunition were recovered from the area after the Army action.A copy of the FIR lodged in connection with aforesaid commission of offences is annexed herewith and marked as Annexure (AFD-III).Notwithstanding the arrest of the said about 800 employees, as aforesaid, atmosphere at the Bokaro Steel Plant continued to be vitiated due to terror and collective fear and the functioning of the CISF Unit and its administration at Bokaro had completely broken down.It was only Army which could control the situation by its continued presence.no. 602, 2nd Bn.However, the claim of privilege was waived by the Governmentand all the materials produced at the hearing and inspectiongiven to the other side.These materials disclose that anincident took place on January 18, 1981, at the annual Melaheld at Gwalior in which one man was burnt alive.Somepersons, including a constable from each of these twoForces, were arrested.These persons were remanded intojudicial custody.L. N. Sinha, M. K. Rammamurthy, K. K. Vinugopal, V. M.Tarkunde, P. R. Mirdul, P. P. Singh, R. N. Poddar, UmeshMishra, M. A. Krishnamoorthy, Indira Sawhney, KittuBansilal, Chandan Malhotra, J.

K.Gambhir, S. Gambhir, Ashok Mahajan, Sunita Kriplani, C. V.Subba Rao, G. D. Gupta, Hemant Sharma, Indu Malhotra andJayshre for the appearing parties.R. K. Garg, S. N. Singh and K. M. K. Nair for theintervener.Ultimately, on orders from the High Court, the prosecutionwas dropped.The appellant was also exonerated in adepartmental inquiry held against him.The appellant'swrit petition was dismissed by the High Court.Reforms)Notification No. 11012/2/77 - Ests.The SeniorCommercial Officer wrote a letter to the appellant callingupon him to submit his explanation with regard to twelvecharges of gross indiscipline mostly relating to the DeputyChief Commercial Superintendent.The appellant submitted hisexplanation and on the very next day the Deputy ChiefCommercial Superintendent served a second notice on theappellant saying that his explanation was not convincing andthat another chance was being given to him to offer hisexplanation with respect to those charges.It appearsthat orders were issued by Headquarters, C.D.A. C.C.,Meerut, stopping the increment of the Respondent for oneyear.One Raj Kumar Jairath was at the relevant time theRegional Audit Officer, M.E.S., Jabalpur.On July 27,1976,the Respondent went to Raj Kumar's office and demanded anexplanation from him as to why he had stopped his incrementwhereupon Raj Kumar replied that he was nobody to stop hisincrement.The Respondent then struck Raj Kumar on the headwith an iron rod.Raj Kumar fell down, his head bleeding.The Respondent was tried and convicted under section 332 ofthe Indian Penal Code by the First Class JudicialMagistrate, Jabalpur.The Magistrate instead of sentencingthe Respondent to imprisonment applied to him the provisionsof section 4 of the Probation of Offenders Act, 1958, andreleased him on his executing a bond of good behaviour for aperiod of one year.The Respondents appeal against hisconviction was dismissed by the Sessions Judge, Jabalpur.The Controller General of282Defence Accounts, who was the disciplinary authority in thecase, imposed upon the Respondent the penalty of compulsoryretirement under clause (i) of Rule 19 of the Civil ServicesRules.The said order was in the following terms :Auditor, (Account No.8295888) shall be compulsorily retired from service with effect from 25.11.1980."The Respondent thereupon filed a departmental appeal whichwas dismissed.Thereafter the Respondent filed in the Madhya PradeshHigh Court a writ petition under Articles 226 and 227 of theConstitution.We are unable to agree with either of the two reasonsgiven by the High Court for setting aside the order ofcompulsory retirement.So far as the first ground upon whichthe High Court proceeded is concerned, as already pointedout that part of the judgment in Challapan's case is notcorrect and it was, therefore, not necessary to give to theRespondent any opportunity of hearing before imposing thepenalty of compulsory retirement on him.It was, however, argued that the penalty imposed uponthe Respondent was not of dismissal or removal from servicebut of283compulsory retirement and, therefore, clause (a) of Article311(2) did not apply.The argument cannot be accepted.Thecompulsory retirement of the Respondent was not by reason ofhis reaching the age of superannuation or under other ruleswhich provide for compulsorily retiring a government servanton his completing the qualifying period of service.Shyam Lal Sharma, [1972] 1 S.C.R. 184,189 and the casesreferred to therein).The second ground upon which the High Court rested itsdecision is equally unsustainable.The circumstances whichwere taken into consideration by the disciplinary authorityhave been sufficiently set out in the order of compulsoryretirement, they being that the Respondent's convictionunder section 332 of the Indian Penal Code and the nature ofthe offence committed which led the disciplinary authorityto the conclusion that the further retention of theRespondent in the public service was undesirable.Themention of section 332 of the Indian Penal Code in the saidorder itself shows that Respondent was himself a publicservant and had voluntarily caused hurt to another publicservant in the discharge of his duty as such public servantor in consequence of an act done by that person in thelawful discharge of his duty.The facts here are eloquentand speak for themselves.The Respondent had gone to theoffice of his superior officer and had hit him on the headwith an iron rod.TheRespondent was lucky in being dealt with leniently by theMagistrate but these facts clearly show that his retentionin public service was undesirable.Allexcept one of them filed a writ petition in the Patna HighCourt while the remaining one filed a writ petition in theMadhya Pradesh High Court.Both the High Courts allowed thewrit petitions relying upon the decisions in Challappan'scase.Civil Appeal No. 3484 of 1982 is directed against thejudgment of the Patna High Court while Civil Appeal No. 3512of 1982 is directed against the judgment of the MadhayaPradesh High Court.Before dealing with the relevant facts, we may mentionthat the counter affidavit filed to the writ petition inboth the said High Courts were unsatisfactory.At thehearing of these Appeals an application was made on behalfof the Appellants for leave to file a supplementary return.This application was granted by us in the interest ofjustice and the supplementary Return annexed to the saidapplication was taken on the record.We will now briefly setout the facts which led to the passing of the impugnedorders.On January 20, 1981, several members ofthese two Forces indulged in violent demonstrations andrioted at the Mela ground, demanding the release of theircolleagues.They attacked the police station at the Melaground, ransacked it and forced the operator to close downthe wireless set.The situation became so dangerous thatsenior district and police officers had to approach theJudicial Magistrate at night and get the two arrestedconstables released on bail.The incident was discussed at aCabinet meeting, a decision was taken and the advice of theCouncil of Ministers was tendered to the Governor of MadhyaPradesh who accepted it and issued the impugned orders.Onfurther scrutiny some names were deleted from the list ofdismissed personnel and some others included.As a result ofthis, some other members of these Forces began carrying onan active propaganda against the Government, visitingJabalpur and other places in the State of Madhya Pradesh,holding secret meetings, distributing leaflets, and incitingthe constabulary in these places to rise against theadministration as a body in protest against the action takenby the Government.On this information being received, theytoo were similarly dismissed.These facts speak forthemselves.The police normally oppose the grant of bail toan accused but here we have the paradoxical situation ofsome of the highest police and district officers going atmidnight to the Magistrate's house to apply for bail for297the accused.The police are the guardians of law and order.They stand guard at the border between the green valleys oflaw and order and the rough and hilly terrain of lawlessnessand public disorder.If these guards turn law-breakers andcreate violent public disorder and incite others to do thesame, we can only exclaim with Juvenal, "Quis custodietipsos' Custodes?"- who is to guard the guards themselves?"(Satires, VI,347).These facts leave no doubt that thesituation was such that prompt and urgent action wasnecessary and the holding of a inquiry into the conduct ofeach of the Petitioners would not have been expedient in theinterest of the security of the State.All these fourPetitions, therefore deserve to be dismissed.Final Orders in the Appeals and Writ Petitions For the reasons set out above, we pass the followingorders in the above matters :(1) Civil Appeal No. 6814 of 1983 is allowed and the judgment and order appealed against are reversed and set aside and the writ petition filed by the Respondent in the High Court is hereby dismissed.(2) Writ Petitions Nos. 1953,7393,1392 and 2022 of 1981 are hereby dismissed.

Kaushal is the aunt of the deceased Shilpi, who had arranged her marriage to Madan Kumar.She stated that Shilpi used to complaint her that Maya Devi wanted a gas stove.She also claimed that in the hospital, Shilpi had told her that her mother-in-law had poured kerosene oil on her and had set her on fire from the backside.Dr. Amit Saxena stated that on 19.12.2007, he had examined Shilpi in the hospital and found her fit for statement.After completing investigation, the mother-in-law and the husband of Shilpi were charge-sheeted.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 2 of 14Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 2 of 14Since the appellant as well as her son pleaded not guilty to the charges framed against them, the prosecution examined as many as 26 witnesses in support of its case.Two witnesses were examined in defence.Vide the impugned judgment dated 22.10.2009 and order on sentence dated 26.10.2009, the appellant Maya Devi was convicted under Section 304B of IPC and was sentenced to undergo imprisonment for ten years, whereas her son Madan Kumar, who was convicted only under Section 498A of IPC was sentenced to undergo imprisonment for three years and fine of Rs.5,000/-.Being aggrieved from her conviction awarded to her, the appellant Maya Devi is before this Court by way of this appeal.According to him, before recording statement of Shilpi, it was opined by the doctor attending upon her, that she was fit for making statement.He also stated in his Crl.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 3 of 14 cross examination that no one else was present when he recorded the statement of Shilpi.He also stated that while declaring her fit for making statement, he found her to be oriented and conscious to record time, place and person.PW14 - Dr. Abhishek Yadav conducted postmortem on the dead body of the deceased Shilpi and found superficial to deep ante mortem flames burns involving chest and abdomen, half of back at flanks, both upper limb, face and head along with neck, front of lower limb till the level of knee and back of thighs.In his opinion, the cause of death of Shilpi was septicemic shock produced by the complication of ante Crl.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 6 of 14 mortem, superficial to deep and inflected flame burns involving about 70% of total body surface area.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 6 of 14In her statement under Section 313 Cr.PC, the appellant Maya Devi denied the allegations against her and claimed to be innocent.DW1 Jaspal Singh stated that on 19.12.2007, he came to the street on hearing voice of persons from public and saw Shilpi coming down stairs in burnt condition.The persons from the public tried to extinguish the fire by pouring water on her and thereafter her husband took her to hospital.He also claimed that mother-in-law of Shilpi had come after she had been removed to hospital.DW2 Prabhu Dayal stated that on the aforesaid date, he came out on hearing noise and saw Shilpi coming down stairs in burning condition.They then poured water on her body and informed the police control room.PCR van reached there and took her to hospital.The persons from the locality including the appellant Maya Devi went with them to the police station.However, in the present case, the doctor attending the deceased had certified in writing that she was fit to make a statement.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 7 of 14The aforesaid statement, inter alia, shows that the appellant Maya Devi used to instigate her son to beat the deceased so as to coerce her to bring dowry, besides herself giving beatings to her in that connection.The dying declaration made by the deceased Shilpi with respect to her physical torture finds amble corroboration from the deposition of her father, mother, sisters and aunt, to all of whom she complained about the treatment meted out to her, and her husband beating her on being instigated by the appellant.The deceased Shilpi used to complain to them in this regard and in fact she complained to her mother and sisters, just a few days before she sustained burn injuries and was taken to hospital.The testimony of the Crl.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 10 of 14 parents, sisters and aunt of the deceased Shilpi cannot be rejected merely because they happen to be related to her.A perusal of her MLC coupled Crl.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 11 of 14 with her postmortem report leaves no doubt that she died an unnatural death, having sustained severe burn injuries.Since there is ample evidence to prove that the deceased Shilpi was subjected to cruelty in connection with demand of dowry, the court needs to draw a statutory presumption under Section 113B of the Evidence Act that a person who had subjected her to cruelty had caused the dowry death.It has come in the evidence that the appellant had subjected the deceased Shilpi to cruelty as late as 2/3 days before her death.Therefore, it cannot be disputed that she was subjected to cruelty by the appellant, soon before she died.Since the evidence produced by the prosecution including the dying declaration of the deceased Shilpi proves, beyond reasonable doubt, that the appellant Maya Devi, mother-in-law of the deceased had subjected her to cruelty soon before her death.The statutory presumption would be that she had caused her death.Neither any evidence has been led nor has the appellant shown existence of circumstances which would rebut the aforesaid statutory presumption.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 11 of 14As held by the Supreme Court in Shanti vs. State of Haryana: AIR 1991 SC 1226 before a person can be convicted for the offence under section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code, the prosecution must prove the following:Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 12 of 14Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 12 of 14(iv) Such cruelty or harassment must be for or in connection with demand for dowry;(v) Such cruelty or harassment is shown to have been meted out to the woman soon before her death.All the aforesaid ingredients stand duly proved in this case since the deceased Shilpi died within seven years of her marriage, her marriage occurred on account of burn injuries, she was subjected to cruelty by her mother-in-law, soon before her death and such cruelty was in connection with the demand of dowry.When confronted with the overwhelming evidence produced by the prosecution established charge under Section 304B of IPC, the learned counsel for the appellant, on instructions from the appellant, who is present in the Court, submits that in the face of the said evidence, he cannot find fault with the conviction of the appellant under Section Crl.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 13 of 14 304B of IPC and would only seek reduction of the sentence on personal grounds of the appellant, including that she is a woman, aged more than 55 years and is suffering from several ailments.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 13 of 14However, considering all the facts and circumstances, the substantive sentence awarded to the appellant under Section 304B of IPC is reduced from ten years to seven years.The appeal stands disposed of accordingly.One copy of this order be sent to the concerned Jail Superintendent for information and necessary action.The LCR be sent back forthwith, along with a copy of this order.Appeal No.1096/2010 Page 14 of 14

No's.The trial court disregarded and failed to take into account the relevant material on record and has based its findings on mere conjectures and surmises.Further, the trial court gravely erred in disbelieving the dying declaration duly recorded by the Sub Divisional Magistrate without any cogent and justifiable reasons and the judgment suffers from serious infirmities and deserves to be set aside.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 4 of 24The counsel for the State urged that the deceased suffered an unnatural death within seven years of her marriage and thus attracts Section 113B of the Indian Evidence Act. The counsel further clarified that if an offence is committed inside a house, the burden would be on the inmates to give a cogent explanation as to how the crime was committed and that onus would shift on the accused persons.Counsel for the State further urged that the trial court gave undue advantage to the fact that the deceased was not in a fit state of mind at the time of making the dying declaration.Further, the court erred in disbelieving the testimony of PW14 ASI Rajender Singh who fairly conducted investigation of the case in the best possible way.The counsel for the State further contended that the evidence of the PW1 Sh.Kuldeep Singh (Sub Divisional Magistrate who recorded the dying declaration), PW3 Sh.Hari Singh Jakhad (father of the deceased), PW12 Smt. Malti Devi (mother of the deceased) and PW14 ASI Rajender Singh (Initial Investigating Officer) is concise, cogent and satisfactory for holding the respondents guilty of the charged offences.Mr. Rajiv Mohan, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant Smt. Malti Devi (mother of the deceased) adopted the Crl.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 5 of 24 arguments raised by the counsel for the State and further contends that the trial court has failed to appreciate the forensic evidence adduced by the prosecution on record which categorically suggests the presence of kerosene oil on the clothes of the deceased as well as bottle seized from the spot.A. No's.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 6 of 24 dying declaration even though she had received 30% burns and that it is highly improbable that the deceased was unfit to give any statement at around 2.30 AM and was declared fit at about 10.00 in the morning; hence it has no probative value.A. No's.We have heard learned counsel for the parties and also examined the judgment in detail rendered by the trial court.In order to appreciate the rival contentions of the learned Counsel for the parties, we have independently scrutinized the evidence led by the prosecution and examined the judgment of the trial court.At the outset, it would be relevant to mention para 25 and 27 of the impugned judgment wherein it was held as under:Smt. Malti Devi (PW-12) categorically deposed that she had met her daughter Bhawna before SDM had recorded her statement.In her examination in chief, PW- 12 deposed that she had gone inside the ICU Ward at about 09:30am and she had inquired from her daughter as to what had happened and in the cross examination, she deposed that SDM had come later on who might have Crl.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 7 of 24 come after one hour of talk with her daughter.Similarly, Hari Singh Jakhad (PW-3) father of deceased deposed that he had gone inside the ICU to see his daughter.This testimony of parents of deceased shows that they had met the deceased before SDM had recorded her statement and therefore had the opportunity to tutor and prompt the deceased and this fact also makes it further doubtful that the alleged dying declaration was true and voluntarily.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 7 of 2426. xxxxTo sum up, prosecution has failed to establish beyond doubt that Bhawna (deceased) was in a fit state of mind at the time when her statement was recorded by the SDM.Furthermore, in view of the apparent discrepancies in the two statements of Bhawna (deceased), it would be unsafe to convict the accused persons.Thus, it cannot be concluded that Bhawna (deceased) was set on fire on the intervening night of 29th August, 2011 by the accused persons or was subjected to cruelty or harassment by accused persons in connection with demand of dowry at any point of time beyond reasonable doubt..."At the outset, before dealing with the submissions made by the counsel for the parties, it would be relevant to discuss the material testimonies on which the case of prosecution is based upon.PW3 Hari Singh Jakhad (father of the deceased) in his testimony deposed as under:"In the morning at about 10.00 am SDM came there.He recorded statement of Bhawna.SDM told me that Bhawna appeared to be in a state of fear and we were asked to make her understand.SDM did not record my statement on that day."A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 8 of 24PW3 in his cross-examination stated as under:"I was allowed to enter in the hospital only after arrival of SDM.My wife also went inside the hospital after the arrival of SDM.SDM had not recorded my statement or of my wife statement.We all met him at around 10.00am and he informed us that Bhawna was hopeless."PW12 Smt. Malti Devi (mother of the deceased) in her testimony deposed as under:"On 30.08.2011, at 05.00 am, we reached at Safdarjung Hospital and met with our daughter Bhawna.My daughter was not in a condition to speak and she was in a unconscious state.At about 09.30 am, I again went inside the ICU Ward, then I saw tear in the eyes of my daughter.Although, I was allowed to remain in the ICU only for sometime.On asking from my daughter as to what had happened, my daughter told me that her mother-in-law had poured kerosene oil from a bottle and her husband Suresh threw a burning matchstick on her body and after setting her ablaze, he went out of the room."PW12 Smt. Malti Devi in her cross-examination stated as under:"Bhawna had not told me that Suresh Singh had pressed her neck and because of hitting on stomach, she fell at some distance.Bhawna had not told me that her mother in law had brought the kerosene oil from outside.Bhawna had not told me that her mother in law had sprinkled kerosene oil from the back side.It is wrong to suggest that I have stated that kerosene oil was sprinkled from front side as Bhawna was found burnt from the front side."However in later part of the cross examination, she stated as follows:"Bhawana had told me that kerosene oil was sprinkled from her front side."A. No's.SDM had come later on.He might have come after one hour of my talk with my daughter.I had no talk with SDM.SDM had met my daughter and I only heard in saying that my daughter was hopeless.I cannot tell for how much time, SDM stayed in the hospital.My husband was also present in the hospital.I cannot say if my husband had a conversation with SDM."Hari Chand (neighbor of the deceased) who deposed as under:"CQ: Whether you or any of the neighbour did not feel it necessary to take the injured to the hospital or to help her in your TSR?No. Hari Singh or his wife had not requested myself or any other person to help them, therefore, we had not taken injured to the hospital or offered help.PW21 in his cross examination deposed as under:"TSRs are available at Ratia Marg which is about half km from our house.A clinic is also situated on the Ratia Marg.I had heard that Bhawna had expired after about four five days in the hospital but I had not visited the hospital or the house of Hari Singh.I am not on visiting terms with the family of Hari Singh except exchange of greetings."Medical Evidence:PW19 Dr. Shishir Kumar prepared the MLC Ex.PW18/A and deposed as under:"On that day I medically examined at 10 pm Bhawna W/o Suresh Singh, brought by her father in law namely Hari Crl.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 10 of 24 Singh with the alleged history of thermal burn when her cloth caught fire while cooking over kerosene stove."A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 10 of 24It is important to notice that PW19 in his cross-examination stated as under:"The alleged history of burn was given by Bhawna herself.No police man met me on that day or thereafter."After reading the testimonies of the above witnesses, we find several lacunas that makes the case of the prosecution not trustworthy as PW21 stated that he was not on visiting terms with the family of Hari Singh except exchange of greetings and the accused persons did not requested him to help them.Furthermore, it is in evidence that the deceased was brought to the hospital by the father-in-law which is suggestive of this fact that PW21 had made every best possible effort to save the life of the deceased.In the above backdrop, we conclude that the testimony of PW21 is not sufficient to convict the accused persons for the offences they have been charged with.So far as the medical evidence is concerned, the doctor who prepared MLC Ex.18/A in his testimony categorically deposed that deceased herself told him that her clothes caught fire while cooking over kerosene stove.The MLC of the deceased also suggests two things firstly it was her father-in-law Hari Singh who brought the deceased to the hospital and secondly the time on the MLC shows that the deceased was admitted to the hospital at 10.00 pm however, the alleged incident is of about 9.00 pm.Had it been the case, if the intention of the accused persons was to kill her then they would not admit her to the hospital.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 11 of 24As far as the argument raised by the learned counsel for the complainant is concerned, it is relevant to take into consideration the testimonies of PW14 ASI Rajender Singh and PW17 SI Tika Ram, as well as FSL report Ex.PW16/A which are necessary to decide the present State appeals.PW14 ASI Rajender Singh (initial investigating officer) in his testimony deposed as under:"SI Tika Ram reached at the spot.IO/SI Tika Ram had inspected the spot at my instance.The burnt clothes of Bhawana (deceased) from which the smell of kersosene was coming and one stove was sealed in separated three pullandas with the seal of TR.xxx At this MHC (M) produced one parcel No. 1 sealed with the seal of FSL."PW14 in his cross-examination stated as under:"Soon thereafter, SDM had recorded statement of Bhawna (sic).SDM had handed over to me the statement of Bhawna at 11.00 AM.I was standing 5 feet inside the ward.I was present inside the ward when SDM was recording the statement of Bhawna.xxxx I had not seen burnt chunni, portion of the cigarette or match stick at the place of occurrence."PW17 SI Tika Ram in his testimony deposed as under:"The stove was appeared to be in a condition as if, it was not being used since long time.I sealed all the said articles in separate cloth pulinda with the seal of TR and seized the same vide memo Ex. PW14/D bearing my signature at point B."A. No's.Burnt match stick was not recovered from the spot by me.xxxx I did not seized the clothes of Bhawna, which was wearing when taken to the Safdarjung Hospital and was replaced by the Hospital clothings."FSL report Ex. PW16/A reads as under:"DESCRIPTION OF ARTICLES CONTAINED IN THE PARCEL (S) /EXHIBIT(S) Parcel-1 : One sealed cloth parcel sealed with the seals of "TR".It was found to contain exhibits 1A & 1B. Exhibit-1 : One orange coloured salwar damp and semi-burnt with few dirty stains on it and One green coloured cloth piece with range, golden & yellow embroidery designs charred & burnt with dirty deposits on it stated to be "Kerosene oil and water soaked deceased cloths.Parcel-2 : One sealed cloth parcel sealed with the seal of "TR".Exhibit-2 : One medium size white plastic bottle having dirty deposits sticking inside it stated to be "half ltr.Plastic bottle.Parcel-3 : One sealed cloth parcel sealed with the seals of "TR".Exhibit-3 : One metallic stove with burner and oil tank having few dirty deposits stated to be "kerosene operated stove made iron".RESULTS OF EXAMINATION On GC examination, exhibits 1, 2 & 3 were found to contain residue of kerosene."A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 13 of 24The deceased in her dying declaration recorded by the SDM stated that her mother-in-law had brought kerosene oil from outside and sprinkled the same on her chunni from behind and her husband ignited a cigarette and threw burning match stick on her, went out of the house as a result of which she caught fire.The deceased in her dying declaration categorically stated that her mother-in-law had brought kerosene oil from outside and sprinkled the same on her chunni from behind.PW 12 Malti Devi (mother of the deceased) also stated the same fact that her daughter her that kerosene oil was sprinkled from her back side and Suresh was sitting on a sofa, who lighted a cigarette with a match stick.Both the deceased and her mother stated that the kerosene oil was sprinkled from the backside.In this context it is necessary to peruse the postmortem report of the deceased Bhawna Ex.PW 9/A wherein PW 9, Dr. Chetan Kumar has opined that Infected epidermal-dermal deep burn injuries present over the lower half of face, neck, front of chest and abdomen, in patches over both upper limbs, upper part of front of thighs, spared right hand and both pains.Bare reading of the post mortem would suggest that the burns suffered by the deceased were on the front portion of her body.Presence of burn injuries on the front portion creates a doubt in the statements of the deceased as well as the mother of the deceased that the kerosene oil was sprinkled from her backside.PW14 ASI Rajender Singh (initial investigating officer) in his examination in chief deposed that the burnt clothes of Bhawana (deceased) from Crl.A. No's.From the above statements of the Investigating officers they have admitted to the fact that there was no burnt chunni and match stick was found at the spot.It is further established that no efforts were made by them to ascertain the fact that the burnt injury suffered by the deceased was due to kerosene.Keeping in view the above contradictions in the testimonies of the aforestated witnesses it would be highly unsafe to convict the respondents solely on their testimonies and we are of the view that the dying declaration of the deceased must be looked into.A. No's.It was further stated by the deceased that the accused Shanti Devi came downstairs from first floor with a bottle of kerosene oil and poured kerosene oil Crl.A. No's.130/2016 &131/2016 Page 15 of 24 on her and accused Suresh Singh threw an ignited matchstick upon her and went outside from the house, thereafter when her kurti and salwar caught fire through chunni, then her mother-in-law poured water to douse the fire and then her father-in-law and mother-in-law took her to a private dispensary which was found closed and then she was taken to Safdarjung hospital.The deceased also stated that the accused person forced her to say that she received injuries while making food on stove.A. No's.
