This Criminal Revision has been preferred against the judgment and order dated 7.12.2017 passed by the learned Additional District Session Judge, Court No.1 Jhansi in S.T. No. 257 of 2015 (State vs. Azhar and others) under Sections 149, 302, 500, 506, 34 IPC and 7 Criminal Law Amendment Act, Police Station Kotwali, District Jhansi, arising out of Case Crime No.0157 of 2015 whereby a prayer is made that the said judgment and order dated 7.12.2017 be set aside and court below be directed to summon Dr. R.P. Kala for taking his evidence.The trial court illegally and arbitrarily rejected the application No.121-B vide impugned order dated 7.12.2017 on the ground that the injuries of 1998 were not related to the present incident.The fire arm which has been recovered is 315 bore by which the incident has been carried out.The statement of Dr. R.K. Saxena has tried to mislead by saying that injury no. 2 is communicating to injury no. 3, which is an old injury which had been treated by Dr. R.P. Kala in the year 1998 as has been admitted by Dr R.K. Saxena in his statement recorded under section 161 Cr.P.C. It is well settled that justice should not only be done but it should appear to have been done.Therefore, in view of the statement of Dr. R.K. Saxena mentioned above, it was necessary to examine Dr R.P. Kala who had treated the deceased Mohd. Rashid in 1998 to prove that the injury no. 3 was an old injury because that would be necessary for proper and just adjudication of the present trial and would be helpful to punish the real culprit who has committed murder of Mohd. Rashid.From the side of the opposite party no.2, Azhar, a vakalatnama has been filed by Sri Amit Daga which is taken on record.No counter affidavit has been filed by him but he has orally made argument opposing the present revision vehemently.Heard learned counsel for the revisionist, learned counsel for the opposite party no.2, learned A.G.A. and perused the record.It is contended by the learned counsel for the revisionist that the post mortem of the deceased would show that he had received five antemortem injuries which were as follows:"i) Incised wound size 3x1 cm, margin clean, sharp, situated 6 cm above from Rt.ear on the Rt. side of skull underlying bone fractured.ii) Lacerated wound size 22x11 cm on left side of skull, 5 cm above from left ear underlying bone fractured, brain matter is coming out.iii) Wound no. 3 is communicating with left side supra clavicular area along Lt. side of neck where 24 pallets of metallic characteristic found.iv) Abrasion size 12.0x0.5 cm over Rt.side anterior abdominal wall 12cm laterally from unbilicus.v) Abrasion size 5.0x0.5 cm over Lt. side of abdomen......." and the cause of death has been recorded due to antemortem injuries.Pointing out the above injuries statement of Dr. R.K. Saxena was read out by the learned counsel for the revisionist which is annexed as Annexure-4, in which he has stated that he conducted autopsy of the dead body of deceased Mohd. Rashid.The 24 pallets which were recovered from behind Lt. side of the neck of the deceased which was an old wound.Thereafter, the attention of the Court was drawn towards the statement given by the witness before court as PW-4, in examination-in-chief wherein he stated as follows:-"....ii) Lacerated wound size 22x11 cm on left side of skull, 5 cm above from left ear underlying bone fractured, brain matter is coming out.iii) Left side supra clavicular area, which was towards Lt. side of neck, was communicating with injury no. 2 where 24 pallets were recovered...."Instead of that the revisionist wants to summon a witness who was not named in the charge sheet by the Investigating Officer nor any document which he now wants to get proved by calling the said witness were handed over to the prosecution/Investigating Agency.Nor the prosecution had provided the copies of these documents to the accused under section 207 Cr.P.C. If without providing any copy of these documents to the accused, the prosecution is allowed to proceed that would cause prejudice to the accused.
