Abhinav Sarup Sharma lodged a complaint with the police that on 2.4.2005, he went to drop his cousin sister (Buaji's daughter) in Ram Nagar, Tilak Nagar.At about 12.30 -1.00 P.M., while he was returning to his home, the present petitioner Sh.Raj Crl.P.228/2008 Page 1 of 8 Kumar Sharma who happens to be his Uncle came in front of him and hit him on the head with a baseball bat.P.228/2008 Page 1 of 8In the meantime, the grandfather of the complainant Anand Sarup Sharma also came out and shouted that Raj Kumar should eliminate the complainant.Raj Kumar is living in the adjoining portion to his sister's house, who happens to be the Bua of the complainant and whose daughter he had gone to drop.Two boys are alleged to have come out from the residence of Raj Kumar Sharma and started beating the complainant with leg and fist blows.The complainant started bleeding due to injuries as he was hit on the head with a baseball bat.The Uncle and the grandfather of the complainant caught hold of the two arms of the complainant while as the boys took out their belt and started hitting the same over the person of the complainant.Admittedly, in the present case, the attack on the complainant seems to be pre-planned as the same is fortified from the fact that the grandfather of the complainant himself shouted for taking the life of the complainant so that there is no one to chase the pending litigation between the petitioner and his father on the one side and the family of the complainant on the other.So far as the learned counsel for the complainant is concerned, he has contended that the nature of the injuries could not be said to be simple, as admittedly the MLC shows that the complainant had received six stitches and it was only providence which saved the complainant, otherwise the petitioner and his father were bent upon liquidating the complaint.P.228/2008 Page 4 of 8Through: Mr. M.N.Dudeja, APP Mr.A.S.Sharma, Adv.for the complainant.HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE V.K. SHALIWhether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?2. To be referred to the Reporter or not ?Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ?V.K. SHALI, J. (oral)The Uncle of the complainant shouted that since the complainant and his father are contesting litigation against the assailants therefore, if the complainant is eliminated, there will be no one to follow the cases.The wife of Raj Kumar is alleged to have thrown a brick which hit the complainant.The complainant was also hit on the back with the help of a hockey by the grandfather.As a consequence of the entire episode, the complainant is stated to have suffered injuries which were two Contused Lacerated Wounds of 2 Crl.P.228/2008 Page 2 of 8 cms x 0.5 cms and 1.5 cms x 0.5 cms over the mid frontal region of the scalp and the injuries were opined to be simple.P.228/2008 Page 2 of 8The investigating agency filed a charge sheet and the learned Sessions Judge on the basis of the statements and documents on record came to the conclusion that prima facie a case of attempt to culpable homicide is made out, therefore, the petitioner along with the other co-accused persons were charged for an offence under Section 308 IPC.The petitioner feeling aggrieved by this has assailed the said order.I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned APP and the learned counsel for the complainant who is also present.The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that as the nature of injuries on the complainant are opined to be simple by the doctor, therefore, no charge u/S 308 IPC can be sustained.The petitioner in order to support her point has placed reliance on judgments titled Surinder Kumar Vs.State 1996 V AD (Delhi) 345 and P.K.Ghosh Vs.On the basis of these authorities, it has been contended that as in the present case as the injuries were simple and there was no intention or knowledge attributable to the petitioner that it could have resulted in homicide of the complainant, therefore, the charge could not have been framed.P.228/2008 Page 3 of 8P.228/2008 Page 3 of 8The learned APP has contested the arguments of the defence counsel and urged that merely because the nature of injuries are opined to be simple, it does not warrant the dilution of the charge from Section 308 IPC to one u/S 323 IPC.It has been contended that while considering a prima facie case as to whether a charge under Section 308 IPC is made out against the petitioner or not only the nature of injury is to be seen but even other attendant circumstances are also to be borne in mind.P.228/2008 Page 4 of 8I have carefully considered the submissions of all the parties and have also gone through the impugned order as well as the relevant documents.P.228/2008 Page 5 of 8The attack on the complainant was not on the spur of moment.

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

This revision has been preferred against the order dated 4.2.2010 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Court No.1, Mau in S.T. No. 134 of 2009 (Case Crime No. 268 of 2009), State Vs.Ravindra @ Raghvendra and others, under Sections 302 /34, 504 & 506 I.P.C., P.S. Madhuban, District Mau.Brief facts of the case are that the opposite party no.2 Smt. Saroj Singh lodged a report at the police station stating that she was married to Devanand.Later on marriage could not continue and the relations of husband and wife between Smt. Saroj Singh and Devanand came to an end by the court.The opposite party no. 2 was being maintained by her mother Vijay Laxmi and was living in the village with her daughter Kumari Jyoti.On 26.2.2009 the opposite party no. 2 had gone to Madhuban to bring admit card of her daughter Jyoti, who was a student of class 10 of Subhagi Devi Higher Secondary School, Madhuwan, Mau but she could not get the admission card and came back to her house on foot managing her other affairs.When she reached her house at about 5 p.m., she saw that her daughter was hanging by a rope.When she was trying to save her daughter, suddenly Raghvendra Yadav @ Kanthi Yadav and Vikas Mall started fleeing away from the other room.The complainant requested both the accused to help her in saving her daughter but they threatened to kill the complainant and ran away with banki in their hands.Just thereafter Rana Pratap Singh @ Pinku Singh and Chandra Prakash accompanied by Santosh Kumar Singh reached the spot.After investigation the Investigating Officer submitted charge sheet against Raghvendra @ Ravindra and one Ram Kishan Yadav.Charge sheet was not submitted against Vikas Kumar Mall.When the charge sheet was submitted in court, charges were framed against the accused persons and the statement of P.W.1 Smt. Saroj Singh commenced.After examination-in-chief of P.W.1 Smt. Saroj was concluded, an application was moved by the prosecution to summon Vikas Mall under Section 319 Cr.P.C. The learned lower court, vide order dated 4.2.2010 summoned the accused Vikas Mall under Section 319 Cr.P.C. Feeling aggrieved the present revision has been preferred by the revisionist.I have heard the learned counsel for the revisionist, learned A.G.A. for the State, and perused the record.

This order shall dispose of Crl.Revision Petitions Nos.596/2000, 619/2000, 46/2001 and 47/2001, which are directed against order dated 23.11.2000 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge in case FIR No.287/99 registered with P.S. Mehrauli, commonly known as "Jessica Lal Murder Case".In Crl.The facts, leading to filing of the above revision petitions, briefly stated, are that on the intervening night of 29th and 30th April, 1999, a party was going on at Tamarind Court Cafe, Qutub Colonnade, Mehrauli, New Delhi in which drinks were being served on payment basis.According to the prosecution, accused Manu Sharma, Vikas Yadav, Amardeep Singh Gill @ Tony Gill, Alok Khanna and Amit Jhingan (hereinafter referred to as A-1 to A-5 respectively) also reached this Cafe at about 11.30 p.m. At about 2.00 a.m., A-1 asked a waiter to give him two drinks and on his refusal, he asked Malini Ramani, daughter of the owner of the Cafe to get him a drink, but she also declined.On his insistence, she remarked that he could not have a sip of drink even if he paid Rs.1,000/- on which A-1 remarked that he could pay Rs.1,000/- for a sip of her.It is alleged that thereafter A-1 asked Jessica Lal, deceased, to give him two drinks, but she also refused upon which A-1 took out a pistol from his pocket and fired one shot towards the roof and the second shot towards the deceased, which hit near her left eye.She fell down and later succumbed to her injury.On account of this firing, there was commotion (Hafra Tafri) amongst the guests present in the Cafe and most of them started running away.The prosecution alleges that A-6 succeeded in causing disappearance of this weapon of offence.He is also alleged to have helped and supported A-10 R.K.Sudan to escape from Delhi A-7 Harvinder Chopra, A-8 Vikas Gill @ Ruby Gill and A-9 Yog Raj Singh had allegedly harboured A-1 knowing of having reason to believe that he was wanted in connection with the offence.Some of the leading models of Delhi including deceased Jessica Lal were working as bar-tenders.The accused A-1 to A-5 remained there for a period of about 2/1-2 hours during which nothing objectionable happened.At about 2.00 AM when the party was coming to a close, A-1 first asked a waiter to get him drinks and on his refusal asked Malni Ramani, the daughter of the owner Beena Ramani but she also declined to oblige him.There was exchange of some unpleasant words even between the two and thereafter A-1 allegedly asked the deceased Jessica Lal to provide him two drinks.On her refusal he took out a pistol from his pocket and first fired a shot towards the roof and the second shot towards her which struck above her left eye and caused her fatal injury.The prosecution case is that on account of this firing there was complete commotion in the party and people started running.A-1 to A-05 also escaped from the spot.It is alleged that A-1 was being escorted out of the cafe by his other co-accused.It is also alleged that after leaving the Cafe, they again re-assembled at the house of A-3 and then planned retrieval of the Black Tata Safari of A-1 from the spot as well as the pistol which A-1 had allegedly concealed near Handloom Emporium.(a) Meeting between the accused at the house of A-3 before reaching the place of incident;(b) Exchange of telephone calls before reaching cafe;.(c) Carrying of a pistol to the spot by A-1;(d) Loading of the pistol by a-1 on his way to the place of incident;(e) Circumstances suggesting that they knew the deceased prior to the incident;R.596/2000, the State prays to set aside the discharge of accused No.1 Manu Sharma, accused No.2 Vikas Yadav, accused No.3 Amardeep Singh Gill, accused No.4 Alok Khanna and accused No.5 Amit Jhingan under Section 120-B read with Section 302 IPC as well as the discharge of A-2 to A-5 for offence under Section 302/34 IPC.A further prayer is to set aside the discharge of accused A-4, A-5 and A-6 Shyam Sunder Sharma, who have not been charged for commission of any of the offences.R.47/2001 has been filed by accused No.2 Vikas Yadav with a prayer to discharge him of the offences under Sections 201, 120-B and 34 IPC.Revision petition No.46/2001 has been filed by (SIC) & Tony Gill with a prayer to discharge him of the offences under Sections 201 and 120-B IPC.Revision petition No.619/2000 has been filed by accused No.12 Raja Chopra with a prayer to discharge him for the offence under Section 212 IPC.I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the records.After coming out of the Cafe, A-1 walked away on foot whereas the remaining accused slipped away in a vehicle.It is alleged that A-2, A-3 and A-4 reached the house of A-3 where A-1 also came later.The prosecution story is that before coming to Cafe also, there was exchange of telephone calls between them, which suggests that they had gone to the Cafe after hatching a conspiracy to murder deceased Jessica Lal.Prosecution alleges that after the incident A-1 to A-4 re-assembled at the house of A-3 where they hatched a conspiracy to remove the Tata Safari belonging to A-1 from the place of occurrence.In furtherance of this conspiracy, A-2 and A-3 again went to the spot in the vehicle of A-4 and forcibly removed black Tata Safari of A-1 from there inspite of resistance by P.W.54 Shravan Kumar.It is alleged that while the accused were taking away Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of occurrence, P.W.54 Shravan Kumar gave a danda blow on account of which one glass pane of vehicle got broken.It is also alleged that before coming to the house of A-3 after the incident, A-1 had concealed his pistol near the place of incident and later on in furtherance of a conspiracy, A-1 and A-2 went to the said place and managed to retrieve the weapon of offence form there.This weapon of offence, according to the prosecution, was later handed over by A-1 to accused R.K.Sudan (hereinafter referred to as 'A-10'), who is turn handed it over to A-6, Shyam Sunder Sharma.Accused No.12 Raja Chopra is stated to have provided his car to A-1 for escaping from Delhi and reaching Chandigarh.The prosecution filed a challan under Section 173 Cr.P.C. against the aforesaid accused for the commission of offences under Sections 302/201/212, read with Section (SIC) IPC, Section 27 of the Arms Act as well as Sections 302/34 IPC.Learned Additional Sessions Judge vide impugned order held that A-1 should be charged under Section 37 IPC (SIC) and Section 27 of the Arms Act. A-1 to A-8 were ordered to be charged under Section 120-B read with Section 201 IPC for conspiracy and removal of the Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of incident.Learned Additional Sessions Judge did not accept the prosecution request for charging A-1 to A-5 under Section 120-B IPC for commission of an offence under Section 302-IPC for murder of the deceased Jessica Lal.Section 34 IPC was also held to be not applicable against them for commission of the offence under Section 302 IPC. A-4 Alok Khanna and A-5 Anil Jhingan were discharged of all the offences.A-6 Shyam Sunder Sharma was also discharged of all the offences alleged against him.Mr.S.K.Saxena, learned Special Public Prosecutor, arguing for the State in Crl.He has assailed the view taken by learned trial Court that there were no grounds for framing of charge under Section 120-B IPC in as much as even if the evidence was to go (SIC), these accused could not be convicted under Section 120-B IPC in relation to the murder of Jessica Lal.According to learned counsel for the State, this approach of learned trial Court was manifestly erroneous for the reason that at the stage of framing of the charge, the Court is not required to (SIC) and appreciate the prosecution evidence on record to find out as to whether the evidence was sufficient or not for convicting an accused, if the evidence was to go (SIC).L.J. 2448 and Stree Atyachar Virodhi Parishad Vs.Dilip Nathumal Chordia & Another, .10 Mr.Saxena submits that for proving an offence of conspiracy-direct evidence is seldom available to the prosecution as dark deeds are done in darkness.He argues that existence of criminal conspiracy can be inferred from the circumstances, events and conduct of the accused prior to the offence, at the time of commission of the offence and subsequent to the commission of the offence.To argue that there existed a conspiracy between the aforesaid five accused for committing murder of Jessica Lal, he relies upon the judgments in Hardeo Singh Vs.State of Bihar & Others, 2000 Crl.L.J.2978; Ajay Agarwal Vs.Union of India & Others, AIR 1993 SC 1637 and Kehar Singh & Others Vs.The State (Delhi Administration), .Learned counsel, in support of his submissions for framing of charge of conspiracy against A-1 to A-5, points out that the prosecution has placed on record enough material to show that the accused persons had not at the residence of A-3 before going to the restaurant, there was exchange of phone calls between them, A-1 was carrying a loaded pistol with him and recovery of empty shells and a live cartridge from Tata Safari of A-1 shows that the pistol was loaded on way to the restaurant in the presence of other accused.According to him, all these circumstances prior to teaching the venue of the incident suggest very strongly that there might have been a conspiracy between A-1 to A-5 commit murder of Jessica Lal otherwise they had no reason to go there when one of them was armed with a pistol.He further submits that presence of all the five accused at the spot is prima facie established and it is also established by statements of some witnesses that the deceased not a stranger to them.He has read the statement of Shyan Munshi to show that A-3 Tony Gill was seen talking to the deceased sometime prior to the incident.It is submitted that in the absence of a conspiracy and a firm resolve to kill Jessica Lal, A-1 had no reason to fire a second shot aiming towards her.Absence of any effort by A-2 to A-5 to prevent A-1 from firing a second shot at Jessica Lal and thereafter omission to provide her help clearly suggest that they had come prepared to murder her.After the incident, all of them escorted A-1 out of the restaurant, which circumstance is also indicative of their plan to commit murder and then escape.His further contention is that even if it is not believed that the conspiracy was hatched at the residence of A-3 Tony Gill, a possibility is there that the conspiracy was hatched at Tamarind Cafe itself where A-1 to A-5 were present for sufficient time before killing the deceased Jessica Lal.Learned counsel for the State submits that even after commission of murder, the accused persons continued to collaborate and cooperate with each other in the matter of retrieval of the vehicle of A-1 from the spot, retrieval of the weapon of offence from the place where he was (SIC) by A-1, refixing of a window pane in the vehicle of A-1, meeting at the residence of A-3 Tony Gill, exchange of telephone calls between them and escape of A-1 from Delhi.According to him if A-2 to A-5 had not been co-conspirators of A-1, they would have (SIC) associated themselves from A-1 at least after the shooting incident and as such, their exists (SIC) suspicion that they all were in conspiracy to commit the murder of deceased Jessica Lal.Mr.S.K.Saxena presses for invoking Section 34 IPC also against A-2 to A-5 for the commission of the offence under Section 302 IPC on the ground that there was some time gap between the first shot fired by A-1 towards the roof and the second shot fired towards the deceased, but none of his co-accused tried to prevent A-1 from firing the second shot towards the deceased Jessica Lal, which resulted in her death.Their omission to prevent A-1 from firing the second shot, according to learned counsel, is suggestive of their common intention.After shooting of the deceased by A-1, the remaining four accused A-2 to A-5 did nothing to help the deceased by way of removing her to the hospital or calling the police and instead were more concerned to escort A-1 out of the restaurant safely.It is submitted that these facts and circumstances strongly suggest that if not conspiracy, they at least shared a common intention to kill Jessica Lal and as such Section 34 ought to have been invoked against them.Learned Special Public Prosecutor contends that the charges under Section 212 IPC also ought to have been framed against A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 in as much as inspite of their knowledge of commission of the offence by A-1, they escorted him out of the restaurant.Inspite of best efforts, the Investigating Agency could nt trace out this weapon and as such, material evidence has been made to disappear.Referring to statement of P.W. A.K.Dutt and the transcript of the taped telephonic conversation between P.W. A.K.Dutt and accused R.K.Sudan, it is submitted that there were sufficient grounds for charging A-6 under Section 201 IPC.He submits that disclosure statement of A-1 led the Investigating Agency to discover the fact that the pistol was handed over by A-1 to accused R.K.Sudan and the transcript of the taped conversation shows that the weapon was passed on to A-6 by accused R.K.Sudan.The telephonic conversation between R.K.Sudan and P.W. A.K.Dutt, learned counsel argues, was an extra judicial confession of R.K.Sudan and as such, admissible in evidence.Learned counsel argue that such serious charge cannot be and must not be framed against the accused unless the prosecution has sufficient material in support of the allegations.They submit that framing of a charge is not an empty formality in as much as an unwarranted and groundless charge, even if likely to fail, results in extreme harassment and hardship to an accused.It is submitted that request of the prosecution for framing a charge under Section 120-B read with Section 302 IPC against A-1 to A-5 for murder of deceased Jessica Lal is absolutely unwarranted, baseless and without any material on record.It is argued that though motive is not essential to be brought on record for establishing the commission of an offence, but in a case of conspiracy, motive is very material for the reason that it provides basis to the accused persons for entering into a conspiracy.It is argued that in the present case, the prosecution has no material to show that A-1 to A-5 had any enmity or ill will for planning murder of deceased Jessica Lal.According to learned counsel for the accused, the mere fact that prior to going to Tamarind Cafe, accused were together or that they were present at the Cafe or after the incident they escaped from the place of occurrence together, were not sufficient to draw an inference of criminal conspiracy.It is submitted that had the accused persons been in conspiracy to commit murder of Jessica Lal, they would not have waited for hours together at the Cafe before firing upon her.Moreover had the murder been preplanned and in furtherance of any conspiracy, the accused would not have allowed themselves to be seen by so many witnesses for such a long time and then shot at the deceased in full view of so many.Had there been a conspiracy, the accused, in normal course, would have ambushed her at a time and place where they could have found her alone and would have made every effort to conceal their identity.It is also argued that the telephonic conversations prior to the incident do not suggest any conspiracy as the accused might have been contacting each other for reaching the Cafe for having drinks and fun.In the absence of transcript of telephonic talks, no inference can be drawn that these telephonic calls were for hatching a conspiracy to murder the deceased.Their going to Cafe together and presence there are also not an incriminating circumstances.The fact that A-1 was carrying a weapon is also not a circumstance warranting any inference that the accused had gone to the Cafe to commit any murder.It was a licensed weapon and as such, A-1 had every right to keep it with him for his own protection.The argument of the State that at the time of the incident, none of the accused tried to prevent A-1 from firing at the deceased nor gave any help to her and they all escaped from the place of incident together, is also not enough to draw any inference of conspiracy.Learned counsel for the accused submit that evidence on record shows that there was no time gap between the first and second shot so as to enable A-2 to A-5 to prevent A-1 from firing the second shot towards deceased Jessica Lal.Like all others present at the spot, A-2 to A-5 also were taken aback and stunned.Since so many started running from the spot after the firing incident, A-2 to A-5 also escaped from there, which also is not incriminating circumstance to suggest any conspiracy.It is argued that A-2 to A-5 had not escorted A-1 out of the restaurant and had merely escaped from there along with him.Had they been escorting A-1 out of the restaurant, they would not have left the spot in their cars leaving A-1 to manage his own self because the evidence of the prosecution itself shows that A-1 came back from the spot on foot.It is also submitted that the first shot was fired by A-1 towards roof, which also shows that there was no conspiracy at all to commit murder of deceased Jessica Lal.Had there been any conspiracy, even the first shot would have been fired towards her.According to site plan, A-3, A-4 and A-5 were standing towards other side of the counter where the deceased Jessica Lal was itself that these three accused were standing in the same direction in which fire was shot by A-1 and as such, there was every chance that one of them could be hit by the said shot.It is submitted that the firing by A-1 was sudden and on account of such a trivial incident that A-2 to A-5 had no time or opportunity to prevent the firing.It is also argued that the prosecution has not been able to show any abnormal conduct on the part of the accused persons either before the incident, at the time of the incident of after the incident so as to suggest existence of a criminal conspiracy or common intention for murder of deceased Jessica Lal.The firing according to the prosecution evidence itself was quite sudden.Statement of P.W.42 Shiv Dass recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. categorically says "EK DUM US I ADKE NE PISTOL NIKALI", which negatives the existence of a common intention.According to him, prosecution has miserably failed to place on record any evidence that after the incident, A-1 and A-6 were in touch or that A-6 had done anything so as to render him liable under Section 201 IPC.Statement of P.W. A.K. Dutt that A-6 wanted to deliver some money to A-10 R.K.Sudan so that he may go back to U.S.A., is not at all an incriminating circumstance as the prosecution has not collected any evidence to show that A-10 R.K. Sudan was keen to go back to U.S.A. but his mother was not sick.He also submits that the prayer of the State to charge A-6 of all the offences is baseless.The argument of learned counsel for the State that Section 212 IPC is attracted against A-6 on the ground that he helped A-10 to escape from India, is not covered by Section 212 IPC as there is nothing on record to show that A-6 knew that A-10 was wanted for any offence.Arguing on behalf of A-3 Amardeep Singh Gill and A-4 Alok Khanna, Mr. I.U. Khan, Advocate has fully supported the arguments on behalf of the other accused that in the present case, there is not even an iota of evidence with the prosecution to show that there was any conspiracy between A-1 to A-5 for commission of an offence under Section 302 IPC nor there is any evidence to suggest that they shared any common intention for her murder.Learned counsel arguing in Crl.R.46/2001 on behalf of A-3 has prayed that he be discharged of the offences under Section 201 and 120-B IPC.According to him, A-4 had no telephonic talks with A-1 either prior to the occurrence or after the occurrence and as such, he had played on role at all and was not liable to be charged for any offence.There is no evidence against him under Section 212 IPC even and the removal of vehicle of A-1 from the spot did not attract Section 201 IPC as it did not amount to causing disappearance of the evidence.He also submits that the allegation of escorting A-1 out of the Cafe by A-2 to A-5 was not at all an incriminating piece of evidence as like many others, the accused were also moving out of the Cafe after the firing incident.It is submitted that mere fact that A-4 had given his car to A-3 for taking A-2 to the spot, does not link him with any offence under Section 201 IPC read with Section 120-B IPC because there is nothing with the prosecution to show that A-4 had given his car to A-3 knowing that the purpose of the visit was to remove the car of A-1 from the spot.The State of Haryana & Another, 1979 Crl.L.J. SC 857 and P.K.Narayanan Vs.State of Kerala, Crimes 1994(3) SC 850 to contend that existence of a criminal conspiracy cannot be inferred on the basis of suspicions, surmises or conjectures.For arguing that no offence under Section 201 read with Section 120-B IPC is made out against A-3 and A-4, he relies upon the judgments in Jogta Kikla Vs.The State, and Jit Singh & Others Vs.The State, .Mr. R.K.Naseem, Advocate appearing for accused No.5 Amit Jhingan has opposed the prayer of the State for framing charges under Section 302 read with Section 120-B and Section 34 IPC and charges under Sections 212 and 201 read with Section 120-B IPC against the accused on the ground that A-5 had not gone to the Cafe in question with the other accused and had reached there separately.After the incident even, he had not left the spot along with the other co-accused.The only allegation against him is that at the time of firing, he was standing near the deceased along with A-3 and A-4 and at about 4.00 a.m. on the asking of A-3 on telephone, he had gone to the house of A-3 in his gypsy and thereafter he had taken A-1 and A-2 to the Cottage Emporium for retrieval of the weapon of offence.Learned counsel for A-5 submits that there is no evidence whatsoever on record that A-5 knew A-1 prior to the incident and his mere presence in the party on that day does not suggest that he was in any conspiracy with A-1 to A-4 for commission of the offence of murder.He also argues that except disclosure statements, which cannot be read in evidence, there is nothing with prosecution to prove the visit of A-1 and A-2 to Handloom Emporium for retrieval of pistol.Relying upon a rough note alleged to be in the handwriting of SI Sunil Kumar, it is argued by learned counsel for A-5 that Special Public Prosecutor had been guiding the investigations and on his behest, supplementary statements of some p.ws.were recorded.He submits that when such padding was being done by the Investigators, the statements under Section 161 Cr.P.C. cannot be taken as gospel truth.According to him, pistol of A-1 was already with the Investigators much before arrest of A-1 and as such, the entire prosecution case in regard to disappearance of the weapon of offence and the conspiracy in respect of retrieval thereof is a crude fabrication.Referring to the site plan placed on record, learned counsel has argued that the story regarding its concealment near Cottage Emporium is preposterous on the face of it as A-1 could not have dared to pass in from of Tomarind Cafe after the incident merely with a view to conceal his pistol near Cottage Emporium.Mr. R.K. Garg, Advocate appearing on behalf of accused No.12 Raja Chopra has prayed for allowing his Crl.R.619/2001 and discharging A-12 for the offence under Section 212 IPC.It is submitted that A-12 has been charged under Section 212 IPC on the ground that he had sent his car from Chandigarh to help A-1 to escape from Delhi, but a certificate issued by the Transport Department shows that this car had already been sold by A-12 to M/s. Piccadly Agro of which A-1 was also a Director.Therefore, in the absence of some other evidence, it cannot be inferred that A-12 had sent this car to Delhi for taking A-1 to some other place.It is also submitted that the prosecution has not placed on record any evidence whatsoever to show that A-12 knew anything about the involvement of A-1 in this offence and as such, had any knowledge of A-1 in this offence and as such, had any knowledge or reason to believe that he was an offender.The State of Himachal Pradesh, .Dilip Nathumal Chordia Another, are the words of caution for the revisional Courts.If upon consideration of the material on record, documents and sorrounding facts and circumstances of the case the Trial Judge considers that there are no sufficient grounds for proceeding against an accused he is under duty to order his discharge under Section 227 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.However, if upon the consideration of the material on record the Judge is of the opinion that there are grounds for presuming that the accused has committed the offence, he is under a legal obligation U/S 228 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to frame a charge against him and put him on trial.The law as to under what circumstances the Courts should pass an order under Section 228 of the Code for framing a charge and on what ground a discharge should be ordered under Section 227 of the code has been the subject matter of deep deliberations by the High Courts as well as Apex Court in a number of cases.Leading judgments on the question are in Century Spinning & Manufacturing Co. Ltd.

A-1 to A-5 reached the place of incident at about 11.30 PM whereas the firing took p;lace at about 2.00 AM.Had the accused been in conspiracy to murder Jessica Lal, they would not have remained at the spot for about two and a half hrs.before killing her so as to expose themselves to the eye of persons present in the party.Moreover had there been any conspiracy A-1 would not have fired inside the restaurant and in the presence of hundreds of people inviting abundant ocular evidence against him and his co-accused.He could have waited for the time and opportunity when she could be found alone either going out of the Cafe or on her way to her house so that the offence could he committed in secrecy.Therefore, the case as laid is suggestive of absence of conspiracy and not existence of a criminal conspiracy.The subsequent conduct of the accused persons in escaping together or thereafter meeting at the house of A-3 to plan retrieval of the car or the weapon of offence or the harbouring of A-1 is also not suggestive of any conspiracy to murder.Support to A-1 after the incident may render the accused liable for different offences but not at all for conspiracy under Section 120B IPC read with Section 302 IPC.The prosecution evidence as placed on record does not suggest the sharing of common intention even as required under Section 34 IPC for the murder of deceased Jessica Lal.A perusal of the statements of the eye witnesses, site plan and other material on record clearly suggests that the firing was sudden.There is nothing on record to suggest that between first and second shot there was enough time gap so as to enable A-2 to A-5 to prevent or over-power A-1 from firing a second shot. A-2 to A-5 could not have even anticipated that a second shot would be fired towards deceased Jessica Lal.In the statement of PW 42 Shiv Dass recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. it has clearly come that A-1 had at once taken out his pistol and fired.One factor which goes very much against the charge under Section 34 IPC is the statements of the witnesses as well as the site plan of the place of incident, which show that at the time of firing A-1 was towards one side of the bar and his co-accused A-2 to A-5 were towards the other side and there was a counter in between.A-3, A-4 and A-5 were standing near the deceased.It shows that the bullet fired by A-1 was in the direction of not only deceased Jessica Lal but his friends A-3, A-4 and A-5 also who were standing near her.Had there been any common intention between A-1 and his co-accused present at the spot, he could not have fired in the direction where his friends were also standing in as much as the bullet could have hit any one of them.Since it is shown that A-1 was on the other side of the counter and his other co-accused were on the other side thereof, there was no chance for them to prevent A-1 from firing a second shot towards deceased Jessica Lal.There is no act of commission or ommission attributable to A-2 to A-5 to invoke Section 34 IPC against them.The Court is, therefore, of the considere

material and circumstances placed on record by the prosecution do not at all suggest that the firing was as a result of any criminal conspiracy between A-1 to A-5 or they shared any common intention attracting Section 34 of the IPC.Even if A-3 knew Jessica Lal from before and was found talking to her some time between 11.30 p.m. to 2.00 a.m. it is not at all a circumstance for presuming any conspiracy or common intention to kill her because nothing has come on record that any of the accused had any motive or ill will for killing her.The State is highly aggrieved by the discharge of accused No.6 Shyam Sunder and prays for framing of charges under Section 201/212 IPC against him.Learned counsel for the State has argued that the disclosure statement made by A-1 led to the ""discovery of the fact"" that after the incident the weapon used in the offence was handed over by A-1 to A-10 R.K. Sudan.The statement of PW Ashok Kumar Dutt and the tape recorded conversation between A.K. dutt and accused R.K. Sudan raise strong suspicion against A-6 that the weapon of offence was handed over to him by A-10 R.K. Sudan and thereafter A-6 gave him some money and arranged that he left India without any delay.It is submitted that if A-10 had fallen into the hands of the police
he would have disclosed that he had handed over the weapon to A-6 and then it would have been possible for the police to effect the recovery thereof.He submits that weapon of offence was very material in this case as it was a licensed weapon and if bullets fired at the spot could be linked to this weapon it would have been a clinching piece of incriminating evidence against A-1
learned counsel for A-6 has controverter the submissions made by learned counsel for the State and has opposed the prayer for framing any charge against A-6 on the ground that in the absence of the recovery of the weapon of offence the disclosure statement of A-1 cannot be considered.It is pointed out that the financial assistance given by A-6 to A-10 for going back to USA
even if believed
does not show that A-6 knew the involvement of A-10 in any offence.It is also argued that taped conversation between PW A.K. Dutt and A-10 is hit by Section 24 of the Evidence Act. He submits that prosecution has not placed on record anything to show that the mother of A-10 was not sick and it was for that reason only that A-6 had given him financial help for going back to USA immediately.After considering the disclosure statement of A-1
the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of PW A.K. Dutt and the transcript of the telephonic conversation between A.K. Dutt and A-10 R.K. Sudan
I am of the considered view that there are good and sufficient grounds for holding that a strong suspicion exists against A-6 for charging him under Section 201 IPC as well as 212 IPC.This taped telephonic conversation suggests at least prima facie that A-6 knew as to where the weapon of offence had gone.A-10 who had left India could not possibly take it out of India and as such the only person in whose contact he was before leaving Indian was A-6 with whom he spent some time at Manali also after receiving the weapon from A-1 at Delhi.The over-anxiety demonstrated by A-6 to see that A-10 goes out of Indian and the financial support given by him are suggestive of his apprehension that in case A-10 gets arrested by the police he may disclose the whereabouts of the weapon of offence and the role played by A-6 in the whole transaction.The telephonic talk between PW A.K. Dutt and accused No. 10 R.S. Sudan does not appear to be hit by Section 24 of the Evidence Act in as much as inducement even if any was not proceeding from a person in authority.A-10 did not know even that this telephonic call was being recorded by the police.He also ought to have been charged under Section 212 IPC for the reason that the material on record clearly suggests that he had helped A-10 R.K. Sudan to move out of India knowing that he was also likely to be arrested in this case in as much as he had helped A-1 regarding disappearance of weapon of offence which was a material piece of evidence for the prosecution.The prayer of the State that A-2 to A-5 should have been charged under Section 212 of the IPC for harbouring A-1 as they had escorted him out of the restaurant cannot be accepted.The statements of the witnesses recorded by the prosecution do not at all suggest that A-2 to A-5 had given any assistance or help to A-1 for escaping from the place of incident.The statements of PW Bina Ramani and some other witnesses merely show that after the shooting incident
when there was utter commotion in the restaurant
A-1 as well as A-2 to A-5 simply headed towards the exit gate and thereafter left the spot.Moreover
the prosecution case itself is that after the shooting incident A-1 was left alone outside the Cafe whereas his other co-accused moved away in their own vehicles.A-1 had to come to the house of A-3 on foot leaving his own vehicle at the spot.This circumstance negatives the prosecution allegation that A-1 was harboured by A-2 to A-5 in the matter of escaping from the spot.Thus the learned Trial Judge was justified in not framing a charge against A-2 to A-5 under Section 212 of the IPC.Learned counsel for the State has further contended that A-4 also ought to have been charged under Section 120B read with Section 201 IPC on account of his role in the retrieval of the Tata Safari of A-1 from the spot.The prosecution evidence strongly suggests that a conspiracy for the removal of Tata Safari from the spot was hatched at the residence of A-3 where A-4 had also come.It is true that A-4 did not accompany A-2 and A-3 to the spot for the removal of Tata Safari but the prosecution evidence shows that he had provided his own Tata Seira to them for the purpose.In view of the fact that A-4 had seen A-1 shooting at the spot
had reached the house of A-3 after the incident and thereafter had given his vehicle also to A-2 and A-3 for the removal of Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of incident raises a strong suspicion against him that he was also a party to the conspiracy and as such he ought to have been charged under Section 120B read with Section 201 IPC.According to him
mere removal of the vehicle from one place to another did not make the vehicle disappear and as such no charge ought to have been framed in this regard.Therefore in the present case when accused A-1 to A-4 in furtherance of their conspiracy removed the Tata Safari of A-1 from the place of incident and placed it some where else they prima facie committed an offence under Section 120B read with Section 201 IPC for the reason that they caused a material piece of evidence to disappear from the eyes of the investigators.It cannot be disputed that this Tata Safari was a material piece of evidence for the prosecution in as much as its recovery from the spot would have made it easier for the police to trace out and then link A-1 with the offence.Thus a charge in (SIC) against A-1 to A-4 in this behalf.The plea of the prosecution that A-1 to A-5 ought to have been charged under Section 120B read with Section 201 of the IPC for removal and disappearance of the weapon of offence is not sustainable for the simple reason that except the disclosure statement of the accused prosecution has no evidence whatsoever to show that after the incident and in furtherance of a conspiracy A-1
A-2 and A-5 had gone to the spot near Cottage Emporium
Mehrauli and retrieved the weapon of offence.Disclosure statements made by the accused are not admissible in evidence in the absence of any recovery.The prosecution has no other evidence to show that they had gone there for retrieving the weapon of offence.However
in the case in hand the trial is still to be held and at the stage of framing a charge the Court has to see as to whether there exist grounds or not for raising a strong suspicion against A-12 in regard to the commission of an offence under Section 212 of the IPC.The evidence required for conviction is not to be insisted upon at this stage.As observed herein before since A-12 was very close to A-1 being the Director in a company in which A-1 was also a Director
it can be reasonably inferred that the car of A-12 was sent to A-1 for picking him up from Delhi and A-12 knew or had reason to believe that A-12 was involved in an offence and the Car was sent to screen him from legal punishment.The commission of offence as defined in Section 52(a) of the Act was by providing a Car and the knowledge or reason to believe that A-1 was the offender.In the course of arguments Sh.(a) The prayer of the State for charging A-1 to A-5 under Section 120-B for an offence under Section 302 IPC and A-2 to A-5 under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for murder of Jessica Lal is declined.(b) Accused No.1 Sidharth Vashisht @ Manu Sharma was charged by the Trial Court under Section 302 IPC for the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal
201 read with Section 120B IPC for conspiracy for removal of his vehicle from the spot
Section 27 of the Arms Act and Section 201 read with Section 34 IPC for the replacement of the glass pane of Tata Safari.The State had prayed that he should be charged under Section 120B read with Section 302 IPC also as there was a conspiracy to commit the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal.The State had urged before this Court for framing charges against him under Section 302 read with Section 120B IPC and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal and also under Section 212 IPC for harbouring A-1 out of the Cafe after the incident.This accused had filed Crl.Revision petition No.47/2001 praying for his discharge for all the offences.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order
the prayer of the State
for framing additional charges against him as stated above is declined.The Crl.Revision Petition filed by the petitioner challenging the framing of the charge under Section 201 read with Section 34 in regard to the replacement of glass pan of the vehicle of A-1 is allowed and he is discharged for the commission of the said offence.(d) Accused No.3 Amarjit Singh @ Tony Gill was charged by the Trial Court under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC in regard to conspiracy and removal of the vehicle of A-1 from the place of incident.The State had prayed for framing charges under Section 302 read with Section 120B
302 read with Section 34 IPC against him for the murder of deceased Jesicca Lal and also under Section 212 of the IPC for harbouring A-1 out of the Cafe.This petitioner had filed Crl.Revision petition No.46/2001 challenging the framing of the charge under Section 201/120B IPC against him.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order
the prayer of the state for framing additional charges against him is declined.The prayer of the petitioner for discharging him for the offence under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC is also declinest.His Crl.Revision Petition stands dismissed.(e) Accused No.4 Alok Khanna was discharged by Trial Court of all the offences.The State in its Crl.revision petition No.596/2000 has challenged the (SIC) order passed by the learned Trial Judge and has prayed for framing charges against him under Section 302 read with Section 120B IPC and Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC for the murder of Jesicca Lal.The State also prays that he be charged for offences under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC for the conspiracy and removal of the Tata Safari Car of A-1 from the spot.It is also prayed that he be charged under Section 212 IPC also for harbouring A-1 by way of escorting him out of cafe after the incident.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order
the prayer of the State of the State for charging A-4 under Section 212 of the IPC is declined.However
the revision petition filled by the State is allowed to the extent that A-4 shall be charged under Section 201 read with Section 120B IPC for conspiracy and removal of the Car of A-1 from the place of incident.(f) Learned Trial Judge had discharged accused No.5 Amit Jingen of all the offences.The state in its revision petition had prayed for framing of the charges against him under Section 302/120B
302/34 IPC
201/120B IPC retrieval of the pistol of A-1 and 212 IPC for escorting A-1 out of the cafe after the firing incident.His discharge by Trial Court is upheld.(g) Accused No.6 Shyam Sunder was discharged for all the offences by the learned Trial Judge.The State in its revision petition has prayed for charging him under Section 201 read with Section 120B for conspiracy and disapprearance of the weapon of offence.It is also prayed that he b charged under Section 212 of the IPC also for harbouring A-10 R.K.Sudan by way of assisting him to escape from India.In view of the reasons mentioned in this order
the Crl.revision petition filed by the State qua him is allowed and he is ordered to be charged under section 201 IPC and 212 IPC.(h) No controversy has been raised in regard to accused No.7 H.S. Chopra
accused No.8 Vikas Gill and accused No.9 Yograj Singh who were charged by the Trial Court under Section 212 of the IPC for harbouring accused No.1 after the offence and before his arrest by the police.He filed a Crl.revision petition 619/2000 challenging the framing of the charge against him under Section 212 of the IPC.For the reasons given in this order
this Court finds no force in his revision petition and upholds the orders of the learned Trial Judge charging him under section 212 of the IPC.Accordingly the Crl.Revision petition No.596/2000 filed by the State and Crl.Rev. petition No.47/2001 filed by accused no.2 Vikas Yadav are partly allowed.Revision petitions No. 46/2001 filed by Amardeep sing Gill and 619/2000 by Raja Chopra are dismissed.Nothing stated herein shall be taken as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case pending before the Trial Court."

them.Theaccused have denied the charges and claimed to be tried.On the side of the prosecution PWs.1 to 12 have been examined andExs.P1 to P20 and M.Os.1 to 4 have been marked.When the accused have been questioned under Section 313 of the Code ofCriminal Procedure, 1973 as respects the incriminating material available inevidence against them, they denied their complicity in the crime.On the side ofthe accused, DW1 has been examined and Ex.D1 has been marked.The trial Court after perpending the available evidence on record hasfound all the accused guilty under Section 341 of the Indian Penal Code andsentenced each of them to undergo one month rigorous imprisonment and alsoimposed a fine of Rs.500/- upon each of them with usual default clause.Theaccused have also been found guilty under Section 302 r/w 34 of the Indian PenalCode and sentenced them to undergo imprisonment for life and also imposed a fineof Rs.10,000/- upon each of them with usual default clause.Against theconviction and sentence passed by the trial Court, the first accused asappellant has preferred Criminal Appeal No.396 of 2008, the second accused asappellant has filed Criminal Appeal No.218 of 2007 and third accused asappellant has filed Criminal Appeal No.495 of 2007 on the file of this Court.On 19.01.2006 the father of PWs.2 and 3 has gone out.On the same day atabout 12.30 pm, while PWs.2 and 3 and their mother (deceased) are in theirhouse, all the accused have come with deadly weapons and hurled invectives byusing filthy words against the deceased and all of a sudden they attacked herindiscriminately and subsequently the complainant has taken the deceased toSakthi hospital by using an ambulance van and after some time she passed away.The entire complaint alleged to have been givenby PW1 has been marked as Ex.P7 by the Sub Inspector of Police, who registeredthe same in Crime No.87 of 2006 under Sections 341, 294(b), 324 and 307 of theIndian Penal Code.As pointed out earlier, PW1 has not supported the case of theprosecution.The specific evidence given by PW2 is that the occurrence has takenplace on 19.01.2006 at about 12.30 pm., and prior to occurrence, she, herbrother (PW3), mother(deceased) and senior paternal uncle (PW4) are in theirhouse and at that time all the accused have come there by using an Auto withdeadly weapons and the first accused has hurled invectives against her mother(deceased) by using filthy words and all of them have attacked her mother andsubsequently PW1 has taken her mother to Sakthi hospital through an ambulancevan.As stated earlier, PW3, Nagarajan is the youngerbrother of PW2 and PW4, Chinnadurai is the senior paternal uncle of PWs.2 and 3.PWs.3 and 4 have categorically stated in their evidence that on 19.01.2006 atabout 12.30 pm., all the accused have come to the place of occurrence by usingan Auto and suddenly they attacked the deceased by using deadly weapons.The intimation given to police has been marked as Ex.P9 and AccidentRegister has been marked as Ex.The doctor who conducted necropsy has also been examined as PW10 andhe found the following injuries:(1) Abrasions back of left elbow 4x2cm;(L) knee 4x2 cm; (2) Clean-cut injury, base of left thumb x entire circumstance, the distalportion of the finger is missing.(3)Vertical incised wound (L) breast, above the nipple, 7x.5x.5 cm.(4)Two transverse incised wounds outer aspect of upper part of rightthigh; each 4x.5x.5;(5)R upper limb in hospital bandage, on removal of bandage, beveled cutinjury towards the elbow, 20x8 cm x bone deep back of right forearm & elbow; theunderlying muscles, vessels and both bones clean cut.(6)Transverse incised wound R subcostal region, 5x2 cm.X peritonealcavity depth; the outer end is sharp and the inner end is blunt.The postmortem certificate given by PW10 has been marked as Ex.Further PW10has opined that "the deceased would appear to have died of shock and haemorrhagedue to heavy cut injury in the right forearm."The trial Court after considering the evidence given by PWs.2 to 4, 9and 10 and other connected witnesses has invited conviction and sentence againstall the accused as stated supra.The learned counsel appearing for the appellants have uniformlycontended that the specific case of the prosecution is that the occurrence hastaken place at about 12.30 pm., on 19.01.2006 and the First Information Reporthas been given on 2.30 pm., on the same day and further PW9 has not specificallystated the name of the person(s) who brought the deceased to Sakthi hospital andon the date of occurrence, PWs.2 and 3 are not in their house and in short, theyare not eye witnesses and even in Ex.P7, the complaint, presence of PW4 has notbeen stated.Likewise, in the inquest report (Ex.P18) presence of PW1 alone hasbeen stated and presence of PWs.2 to 4 have not at all been stated and further,from the evidence of PW2 the Court can easily discern that after the attacksmade by the accused on the person of the deceased she has fallen down and oneKanaga has given water to her.But she has not been examined.Further, PW9has categorically admitted in his evidence that he has given intimation to thepolice under Ex.P9 at about 12.55 pm., But he has been examined by theInvestigating Officer on the same day at about 1.00 pm., Further Ex.P7 has beensent to Court very belatedly without proper explanation and the trial Courtwithout considering the fact that the entire case of the prosecution bristleswith vital infirmities, has erroneously invited conviction and sentence againstall the accused under Sections 341, and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code andtherefore, the conviction and sentence passed by the trial Court against all theaccused are liable to be set aside.Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor has contendedthat in the instant case even though the complainant (PW1) has become a hostilewitness, the prosecution has clearly established the alleged guilt of theaccused punishable under Sections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code byway of examining PWs.2 to 4 and in fact their evidence has been clearlycorroborated by medical evidence by way of examining PWs.9 and 10 and furtherthe prosecution has given clear explanation for not seizing bloodstained earthand sample earth from the place of occurrence and further mere delay in sendingthe First Information to Court is not fatal to the case of the prosecution andthe trail Court after considering the overwhelming evidence available on record,has rightly invited conviction and sentence against all the accused underSections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code and therefore, theconviction and sentence passed by the trial Court are not liable to beinterfered with.The first and foremost attack made on the side of the appellants isthat the specific evidence given by PW9 is that he admitted the deceased inSakthi hospital at 12.55 pm., and immediately he has given intimation to policestation and he has been examined by the concerned Inspector of Police on thesame day by 1.00 o' clock, whereas, Ex.P7 has been registered on the same day atabout 2.30 pm.It is seen from the evidence given by PW9 that he admitted thedeceased on 19.01.2006 at about 12.55 pm., Further he deposed to the effect thatimmediately he has given intimation to the concerned police and the concernedInspector of Police has examined him at 1.00 pm., It is an admitted fact thatEx.P7, complaint has been registered on 19.01.2006 at about 2.30 pm.Since Ex.P7has been registered on 19.01.2006 at about 2.30 pm.it is highly impossible onthe part of the Investigating Officer (PW12) to examine PW9 on 19.01.2006 atabout 1.00 o' clock.Therefore, the evidence given by PW9 to that aspect isnothing but a slip of tongue and the same cannot be given effect to.FurtherPW12 has clearly stated in his evidence that he visited hospital on the same dayat about 3.30 pm and examined PW9 and other connected witnesses.Therefore, thefirst and foremost contention put forth on the side of the appellants/accused isof no use.The second/vital attack made on the side of the appellants/accused isthat in the instant case, PWs.2 and 3 are the children of the deceased and bothof them are school going children and the occurrence has taken place on19.01.2006 at about 12.30 pm., and since both of them are school going children,definitely they would not have seen the occurrence and further in the inquestreport, presence of PW1 has not been stated and in Ex.P7, complaint presence ofPW4 has not been stated and therefore, the prosecution has virtually failed toadduce proper evidence with regard to alleged occurrence and the trial Court hasfailed to look into the same.As stated earlier, PWs.2 and 3 are the children of the deceased andPW4 is their senior paternal uncle.In the evidence given by PW2 it has beenclearly stated that on 19.01.2006 morning she attended school.But due toillness, she left the school and arrived home.The evidence of PW3 is that dueto illness on 19.01.2006 he has not attended school.Apart fromthe evidence given by DW1, on the side of the accused, Ex.D1 has been marked.D1 is a xerox copy of attendance register, wherein it has been clearly statedthat on 19.01.2006, PW2 has been absent.At this juncture, a faint attempt hasbeen made on the side of the appellants/accused to the effect that in Ex.It is an admitted factthat Ex.D1 is a document marked on the side of the appellants/accused.Therefore, viewing from any angle, thesecond/vital attack made on the side of the appellants/accused is sans merit.The third attack made on the side of the appellants/accused is that inEx.likewise, in Ex.P7 complaint, presence of PW4 is not foundplace.For the purpose of deciding the above aspects put forth on the side ofthe appellants/accused, it is very much essential to rely upon the recisionreported in (2011)6 Supreme Court Cases 288 [Brahm Swaroop and another Vs.Stateof Uttar Pradesh], wherein at paragraph - 10 it is observed as follows:The basic purpose of holding an inquest is to report regarding theapparent cause of death, namely, whether it is suicidal, homicidal, accidentalor by some machinery, etc. It is, therefore, not necessary to enter all thedetails of the overt acts in the inquest report.Evidence of eyewitnesses cannotbe discarded if their names do not figure in the inquest report prepared at theearliest point of time.The inquest report cannot be treated as substantiveevidence but may be utilised for contradicting the witnesses of inquest."Even from a cursory look of the decision referred to supra, it iseasily discernible to the effect that mere non-mentioning of names of witnessesin an inquest report is not fatal to the case of the prosecution and furtherinquest report is not a substantive piece of evidence so as to believe the caseof the prosecution and further it is also equally a settled principle of lawthat mere non-mentioning of names of witnesses in the complaint would notmilitate the case of the prosecution and further it is an archaic principle oflaw that in the First Information Report all details of alleged overtacts by theconcerned accused and all details of persons who witnessed the occurrence neednot be minutely stated.Therefore, viewing from any angle, the third attack madeon the side of the appellants/accused goes out without merit.The fourth contention put forth on the side of the appellants/accusedis that the specific evidence given by PW2 is that after attacks alleged to havebeen made by all the accused on the person of the deceased, she has fallen downand one Kanaga has given water to her.But the prosecution has not chosen toexamine her and therefore, the prosecution has not come forward with genuinecase and the trial Court has failed to look into the said aspect.It is seen from the evidence given by PW2 to the effect that afterattacks alleged to have been made by all the accused, the deceased has fallendown and immediately one Kanaga has given water to her.But as rightly pointedout on the side of the appellants/accused, the said Kanaga has not been examinedas one of the prosecution witnesses and further no explanation has been givenwith regard to her non-examination.It has already been pointed out that PWs.2 to 4 have given cogent andtrustworthy evidence so as to prove the alleged guilt of the accused punishableunder Sections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.Since in the instantcase the prosecution has adduced evidence in plenitude with regard to motive anddetails of attacks alleged to have been made by all the accused, mere non-examination of the said Kanaga would not affect the case of the prosecution.In Ex.P2 it has been clearly stated that PW12 has reachedthe place of occurrence at about 3.30 pm and before his arrival, the place ofoccurrence has been bestrown and also daubed by using dung water.Since in Ex.It has already been pointed out that PW12, Investigating Officer hasreached the place of occurrence on 19.01.2006 at about 3.30 pm., and in Ex.Therefore, the said contention put forth on the side of theappellants/accused is also sans merit.The seventh contention put forth on the side of theappellants/accused is to the effect that a vital discrepancy has been inexistence with regard to injuries sustained by the deceased betwixt the evidenceof PWs.9 and 10 and the trial Court has failed to look into the same.As pointed out earlier, PW9 who admitted the deceased initially inSakthi hospital has found three injuries on her person.But PW10, the doctor whoconducted autopsy has found six injuries.Simply because a mere discrepancy withregard to number of injuries sustained by the deceased is in existence inbetween the evidence of PWs.9 and 10, the Court cannot reject or eschew theconsistent and cogent evidence given by PWs.2 and 3 for disbelieving the versionof the prosecution.In the instant case, PWs.2 to 4 have cogently and consistently statedin their evidence to the effect that in the place of occurrence all the accusedhave attacked the deceased by using deadly weapons indiscriminately.The eighth contention put forth on the side of the appellants/accusedis that Ex.Any defect in the preparation of the inquestreport by the investigating officer cannot lead to an inference that the FIR wasnot registered at the alleged time.The FIR contains all the essential featuresof the prosecution's case including names of eyewitnesses, time and place ofincident, names of the victim, motive, name of the accused persons, weapons intheir hands and manner of assault.Thus, all these things lend a seal ofassurance not only to the presence of eyewitnesses at the place of the incident,but also to the participation of the appellants in the crime.Therefore, viewing from any angle, the saidcontention put forth on the side of the appellants/accused are not havingattractive force.The trial Court after considering the overwhelming evidence availablein the present case, has rightly invited conviction and sentence against all theappellants/accused under Sections 341 and 302 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code.In view of the foregoing elucidation of both the factual and legal premise, thisCourt has not found any acceptable force in the contentions put forth on theside of the appellants/accused and altogether the present Criminal Appeals areliable to be dismissed.In fine, these Criminal Appeals deserve dismissal and accordingly aredismissed.The conviction and sentence dated 23.02.2007 passed in Sessions CaseNo.194 of 2006 by the Additional District and Sessions Court/Fast Track CourtNo.1.The Additional District and Sessions Court/ Fast Track Court No.II, Tirunelveli2.The Inspector of Police, Palayamkottai Police Station, Tirunelveli City,3.The Addl.Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.

Sukhnandan responded by shouting - what was the matter? At this, the accused ran away leaving the bleeding and weeping girl behind.Suman was taken home, where she narrated the incident to her mother Savitri Bai (P.W. 2).Savitri Bai applied pads over the bleeding private parts of Suman, Sukhnandan contacted the village patel, arranged for a bullock cart and took Suman to the Police Station Unnai, situated at a distance of 11 Kms.JUDGMENT R.C. Lahoti, J.The accused/appellant has been held guilty of an offence punishable under Sections 376/511 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for two years with a fine of Rs. 500/- and further rigorous imprisonment for 3 months, in default of payment of fine.An amount of Rs. 400/-, out of the fine realised, has been directed to be paid as compensation to Suman Bai the prosecutrix.Savitri Bai (P.W. 2) is the widow of Sukhnandan.Suman, who was aged about 9 yearns at the time of the incident, is her daughter.Sukhnandan was alive at the time of the incident, but died during the trial and could not be examined as a witness.Sukhnandan used to run a flour-mill at the outskirts of the village and near the fields.It is alleged that on 26-8-81 at about 5 p.m., Suman went to the flour-mill to relieve her father Sukhnandan so as to enable him taking his meals.Sukhnandan went home, leaving Suman alone at the flour-mill, for keeping a watch.The accused/appellant taking advantage of loneliness approached the innocent girl with an indecent offer, which she naturally declined.The accused/appellant overpowered by his lust, forcibly dragged Suman towards the fields and made her lie down behind the thick bushes of Babool and Chhola.With one hand he kept Suman lying on the ground forcibly and with the other hand he removed the undergarments of Suman as also the undergarments of his own.Then he committed rape on Suman.Suman pierced a cry.She started bleeding profusely.Her cry was heard by Sukhnandan, who had returned to the flour-mill by that time.where Suman lodged the F.I.R., Ex. P/1, at 11.20 p.m.Suman was referred for medical examination.She was examined by Dr. (Mrs.) Dipika Chaudhary, Lady Assistant Surgeon at the Female Hospital Datia.She found the girl to be 9 years of age.The sex characters were not developed.Marks of violence were not seen over the body.Labia majora and minor a were not still developed.Fresh blood was oozing out from torn hymen.Vagina admitted only the tip of the little finger with difficulty.On account of pain, Suman did not permit P/V examination.Dr. (Mrs.) Chaudhry could not give a definite opinion about rape by mere clinical examination.However, she prepared slide of the vaqinal swab, also seized the underwear and pads of the victim and delivered them to the Police, after sealing them, for chemical examination.The Chemical Examiner in his report, dt. 31-12-1981 (Ex. P/7) confirmed the presence of blood on the slide, underwear and pads, but seminal stains and spermotozoa could not be detected over them.The Serologist also confirmed the presence of human blood on the underwear and pads.He was promptly referred for medical examination.But nothing incriminating could be found on his person, though he was found sexually capable.Needless to say that by the time the accused was medically examined, about one and a half month had elapsed from the date of the incident.On completion of usual investigation, the accused/appellant was challaned and charged under Section 376, I.P.C. On appreciation of the evidence, the trial Court expressed dissatisfaction at the manner in which Dr. (Mrs.) Chaudhry had examined the victim of rape.Further, B. S. Sahi, Sub-Inspector of Police, who recorded the F.I.R., was examined as P. W. 6, and he stated in so many words that F.I.R., Ex. P/1; was recorded at the instance of Suman and bore her thumb mark.This witness was left totally uncross- examined.If only, the father of the prosecutrix, who unfortunately died before he could be examined at the trial, would only have been available, the little ambiguity introduced by the defence, would have been removed without any difficulty.In a charge for murder, the husband and brother of one Mst.She was weeping.The appeal Is dismissed.

Heard on I.A.No.21405/18 application for removing default.This application has been filed for removing the default regarding maintainability of the appeal as in the memo of appeal there is no averment whether the appellant is on bail or in jail.Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that the appellant has surrendered before the trial Court on 5.12.2018 and since then he is in custody.Hence, the default as pointed out by the Registry may be removed.Having considered the contentions of the learned counsel for the appellant, without going into any technicalities and looking to the object of the provision, as the appellant has surrendered, the default as pointed out by the office is considered to be rectified.Also Heard on I.A.No.19986/18 an application under Section 5 of the Limitation Act for condonation of delay.The appeal is barred by 16 days.For the reasons mentioned in the application, the application is allowed.Delay in filing this appeal is condoned.The Record of the court below be called for.Also heard on I.A.No.20085/2018 which is an application filed by the appellants under section 389(1) of Cr.P.C. for suspension of their jail sentence passed by II Additional Sessions Judge, Narsinghpur in S.T. No. 56/2018 convicting the appellant under Section 354 in alternate 354(A) of the IPC in alternate Section 7/8 of POCSO Act and sentenced him to undergo R.I. for three years with fine of Rs.1000/- and under Section 354(D) of IPC in alternate 11(iv)/12 of POCSO Act and sentenced him to undergo RI for three years with fine of Rs.1000/-, for with default stipulations .There is a fair chance to succeed in the case.The disposal of this appeal will take time.At present the appellant is in custody.In the circumstances, if the appellant's sentence is not suspended, his right to appeal will be futile.On these grounds, learned counsel for the appellant has prayed for suspension of execution of jail sentence and grant of bail.Learned G.A. has opposed the application and prayed for its rejection.Looking to the short period of sentence and other facts and circumstances of the case, it is directed that subject of payment of fine amount, if not already deposited, the execution of jail sentence of appellant Shubham @ Shivam Karainaar shall remain suspended till further orders and he be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before the trial Court on 26.3.2019 and thereafter on all other such subsequent dates as may be fixed by the concerned trial Court.IA stands disposed of.List the case for admission after receipt of the record.(J. P. GUPTA) JUDGE vj Digitally signed by VIJAY LAKSHMI JHA Date: 13/12/2018 17:02:47

that the lower court has accepted the test, which was thoroughly indeviation of the prosecution case; that the occurrence has taken place in arunning bus; and that if to be so, at least one of the independent witnesseswould have come forward to speak the prosecution case, but all of them haveturned hostile, which would clearly indicate that they have not witnessed theoccurrence and they have been added as witnesses by the Investigator in order tomake believe the case.7.Heard the learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the above contentionsand the Court has paid its anxious consideration on the submissions made.Following the inquest conducted by the Investigator, the dead body of thedeceased was subjected to post-mortem by P.W.8, the Doctor.He has issuedEx.P.5, the post-mortem certificate, wherein he has opined that the deceasedwould appear to have died of injury to spinal cord and injury to major bloodvessels of neck 12 to 18 hours prior to autopsy.The fact that she died out ofhomicidal violence was never questioned by the appellant/accused at any stage ofproceedings and hence, it has got to be safely recorded so.It is true, P.W.1 is the son of the deceased and itcannot by itself be the reason to discard his testimony, since it stood the testof careful scrutiny.P.W.1 wastravelling in the bus, in which both the deceased and the accused were alsotravelling.When the bus nearing the place of occurrence, the accused suddenlysprang on the deceased with aruval and attacked her and caused her death.Immediately, P.W.1 proceeded to the respondent police station and a case came tobe registered within a short span of time.The FIR has also reached theJudicial Magistrate concerned within a reasonable time and thus, he has spokenthe act of the accused in a clear and candid manner and his evidence hasinspired the confidence of the Court.Yet another circumstance is therecovery of M.O.1 aruval, pursuant to the confessional statement.The witnesswas examined to that effect.10.Coming to the question of nature of the act of the accused, the Courtis of the considered opinion that the contentions of the learned counsel for theappellant has got to be discountenanced.It is true, there was a poramboke landand there was a rival claim and tussle between the accused and the deceased asto the enjoyment of the same.The learned counsel took the court to the part ofthe confessional statement to state that the deceased was in practice of abusingthe accused and that was the reason for provocation.A reading of theconfessional statement, which was relied on by the prosecution and accepted bythe lower court, would indicate that the deceased was in practice of abusing theaccused.The object of the accused at that time was to do away the deceased, sothat he can enjoy the land and not because of provocation he has acted, sincethe deceased abused him.Thus, there is distinction between both of them.Therewas neither quarrel nor provocation, which was sudden as expected one in law.Apart from that, in order to attract the sudden provocation, the accused shouldnot take undue advantage of the situation.In the instant case, the deceased wasa womenfolk and when she was travelling in the minibus unarmed, the accusedsuddenly sprang on her and attacked her with aruval and thus, he has taken undueadvantage of the situation.Hence, no question of applying sudden provocationwould arise as one envisaged in the exceptions to S.300 IPC.Hence, the act ofthe accused should be termed as murder.The lower court was perfectly correct infinding the accused guilty Under Section 302 IPC and awarding life imprisonmentand nothing requires for interference either factually or legally.11.In the result, the criminal appeal fails and the same is dismissed.1.The Principal Sessions Judge, Ramanathapuram.2.The Inspector of Police, Kilakkarai Police Station, Ramanathapuram District.3.The Addl.Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.

354 and 376 of IPC.As per the prosecution story before the learned Trial Court in brief was that, on 09.02.2013 the prosecutrix with her two year old daughter, Poonam was sleeping at her home at village, Vasantpura.Her husband had gone to other city for earning.In the night, Veersingh was standing in her courtyard.On being asked why he has come to her house the accused embraced her and shut her mouth and committed rape.After commission of the act, the accused ran away from her house.On the following day she reported this to her brother-in-law (Jeth).She went to the Police Station Raun, District Bhind to lodge report.On the basis of her report Crime No.27/2013 under Section 456 and 354 of IPC has been registered.On 15.02.2013 she filed an application before the Superintendent of Police, Bhind about the commission of rape.Therefore, Section 376 of IPC was added.completing investigation charge-sheet was filed.After committal of the case, the learned Additional Sessions Judge framed the charges and after adducing the evidence M.Cr.C. No.1961/2014 pronounced the impugned judgment.We have given our thoughtful consideration.The prosecutrix is a married woman of 22 years.The medical officer (PW-7) has submitted the report Ex-P3, after examining the prosecutrix.No internal and external injury has been found on the body of the prosecutrix.There has been some enmity between the complainant and the accused.The defense witnesses have deposed that 10,000/- and two bags of Bazraa was given to Banwari the husband of the prosecutrix by the accused.This version has been admitted by PW-4, the sister-in-law of the prosecutrix.This gave rise to a valid and reasonable doubt in the prosecution case.No injury on the body of the prosecutrix, the previous enmity and contradictions and omissions brought on record has been clearly discussed by the learned Trial Court.The learned Trial Court has also given the cogent reasons for its decision.That being so, we decline to interfere with the findings of the learned Trial Court.Hence, petition for leave to appeal is hereby dismissed.

The facts of the case are as follows :The complainant, A. R. Rajan, is the managing partner of Mallur Jayalakshmi Finance.JUDGMENT Karpagavinayagam, J.This revision has been preferred by the petitioner/accused, Krishnamurthy, against the judgment dated March 30, 1992, C.A. No. 36 of 1991 on the file of the learned Second Additional Sessions Judge, Salem, confirming the conviction and sentence imposed upon him by the learned Judicial Magistrate No. 1, Salem, by his judgment dated February 22, 1991, in C.C. No. 288 of 1989 for the offence under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 (hereinafter referred to as "the Act").The respondent, A. R. Rajan, is the managing partner of Mallur Jayalakshmi Finance.He filed a complaint against the petitioner/accused for the offences under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, before the learned judicial Magistrate No. 1, Salem, who in turn acquitted the accused of the charge under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, but convicted him for the offences under section 138 of the Act and sentenced him to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months and to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000 in default to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two months.Aggrieved over this judgment, the petitioner/accused filed an appeal in C.A. No. 36 of 1991, on the file of the IInd Addl.Sessions Judge, Salem.The learned Sessions Judge confirmed the conviction and sentence imposed upon the accused and while dismissing the appeal observed that as the accused is entitled to the benefit of remission as per G.O.Ms.No. 279, dated February 23, 1992, he need not undergo the said imprisonment of six months.Without satisfying the judgment of the first appellate court, the present revision has been filed by the petitioner in this court.The accused/petitioner used to get loans along with his father from the said finance company.The loans obtained by the accused/petitioner, of Rs. 62,000 dated March 20, 1985, Rs. 10,500 dated April 8, 1985, Rs. 9,000 dated May 5, 1986, Rs. 10,500 dated July 16, 1986, Rs. 30,000 dated March 29, 1988, and Rs. 20,000 dated December 2, 1987, totalling about Rs. 1,42,000 have not been settled by him.Part interest due on the above principal has also not been paid by the accused.When the complainant insisted the accused for settlement of the above loans, the petitioner assured that he would discharge the entire amount by one stroke on or before April 15, 1989, after disposing of his landed properties.On April 22, 1989, both the parties arrived at a settlement for the total principal due to the tune of Rs. 1,22,000 and the loan of Rs. 20,000 dated December 2, 1987, was given up.For the said amount interest was calculated at 18 per cent.On the same day, the accused assured that he would pay the said amount by way of cheque the next day, since he has already sold his landed properties.The next day, i.e., on April 23, 1989, the accused came and presented a cheque drawn on the State Bank of India, for Rs. 1,66,360, to the complainant, stating that already the said amount was deposited in the bank and if the cheque is presented, it would be honoured immediately.He requested the complainant to hand over the pronotes executed by him on different dates, in respect of the various loans referred to above.When the cheque was presented on the next day, i.e., on April 24, 1989, for encashment, to the shock and surprise of the complainant, the same was dishonoured, as "refer to drawer" for want of sufficient funds.Thereafter, the complainant sent a legal notice dated May 8, 1989, to the accused demanding payment of the amount mentioned in the dishonoured cheque, within fifteen days from the date of notice.The accused/petitioner sent a reply stating that he never obtained any loan whatever from the complainant and that he never issued any cheque as his cheque book as well as pass book were lost and that the complainant has misused the same against the petitioner.On receipt of such a reply, the complainant/respondent filed a complaint against the petitioner/accused for the offences under section 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860, and section 138 of the Act.After conclusion of the trial, the learned trial Magistrate dealt with the petitioner/accused as stated earlier, which was confirmed in appeal by the lower appellate court.Hence, the revision.

Accused was arrested on 19-2-1991 by P.W. 7 the investigating officer.In his statement in para 3 he stated date as 20-2-1991 which apparently seems to be a typographical error and has no adverse impact on the prosecution case.Prosecution examined as many as 10 witnesses.The prosecutrix was examined by Doctor Chanda Jain (PW. 9) and the medical report is Ex.P.5-A. The accused/appellant was examined by Dr. K. K. Sachdeo (P.W.8) and the medical report is Ex.The defence was that of denial and false implication in the crime.The defence did not examine any witness.Heard learned counsel for the State and also the accused who is present in person before the Court and has been given adequate opportunity though being illiterate is not of any assistance to the Court.Double burden rested on the State counsel which- he succeeded in discharging fairly.The basic question regarding all the three charges against the accused hinges upon the identification of the accused which is an independent factor.Narayan Singh the Naib Tahsildar (PW. 3) who conducted the identification parade stated in his statement that in the identification parade 9 persons were mixed who were made to stand in a line, and were covered by blanket upto their neck and were of same height.The prosecutrix Ku.Anita rightly identified the accused by placing her hand on him.Identification memo which is Ex.P.1 which contains his signature as well as the signature of the prosecutrix, was prepared by him.In the cross-examination he was put the question regarding showing of the accused to the prosecutrix at the police station and he denied the same, and also denied the fact that the police people went inside the jail and the accused was singly called in the jail to the spot of identification.So far as the statement of this witness is concerned it deals with the identification that identification parade was conducted by him and that the identification was proper.So far as the question of showing the accused in jail is concerned, though this witness is not the proper witness for that purpose as his scope of confinement is limited to the identification parade.He denied the facts that the prosecutrix told him that the accused was shown to her several times at the police station and also denied the fact that the police people were inside the jail.Nothing much could come out from his statement on this aspect of the matter.Though the prosecutrix in court rightly identified the accused but what is relevant for consideration is the statement of the prosecutrix herself made before the court who before the court made statement that during the identification parade she correctly identified the accused and in cross-examination (para 7) she admitted that after lodging the FIR she went to the police station continuously for 3 or 4 days.According to her on Tuesday the accused was arrested who was shown to her at the police station.She also admitted that the accused was got identified to her at the police station and at the police station one person wearing white clothes asked her for identifying the accused person, who was shown at the police station.This statement itself creates a serious doubt to the very reliability of the identification and thereby fixation of the person as to who committed the offence in question.No doubt identification in the court is substantive but the same requires corroboration by test identification parade and the Court identification needs to be careful to be acted upon and for that it is always safe to have corroboration from identification parade.In the present case, the question of corroboration does not arise in view of the statement of the prosecutrix herself as she has stated in her cross-examination that the accused person was shown to her before the identification parade was held and she was told to identify the accused and as such it becomes a case left with mere identification in the court at the time of trial for the first time and such an evidence being of feeble character cannot be reliable so to hold that it has been corroborated by the test identification parade as it could not be held to be identification parade being in proper perspective and is worth not placing reliance.It under the facts and circumstances creates grave doubt as to the very question regarding involvement of the present accused in the crime and as a result thereof the accused is entitled for benefit of doubt.Though in view of this it is not necessary to dilate on other points, which very much exists in the present case as the case suffers from all round infirmities, regarding the age of the girl who was student of class IV and no school leaving certificate having been produced in the court in proof of age.The medical evidence of the doctor P.W. 9 is also not worth being placed reliance.The aspersions made by the trial Court against Dr. Smt. Jain in regard to non proper conduction of the medical examination as well as against the prosecution agency are well founded.The appeal is, accordingly, allowed.

JUDGMENT Bahri, J.(1) This petition has been filed by Baldev Singh who is one of the complainants in the case registered vide Fir No. 441 of 1987 under Section 302 read with Section 34, Indian Penal Code .The prosecution version in brief is that all the accused persons namely, Durga Prasad, Faqir Chand, Jagdish alias Kalia, Nirmal Sinah alias Gauria, Hira Lal had picked up and dragged Bhagwant Singh inside the katra and struck him with bricks.It is alleged that Ram Swarup and Hira Lal pinned him down on the ground while Jagdish hit him with a brick and Durga Prasad and Faqira climbed up the roof of the house shouting that Bhagwent Singh be finished and thereafter accused Faqira and Durga Prasad threw the brick wall on Bhagvvaiit Singh who succumbed to his infuries.A charpoi is also stated to have been hit on Bhagwant Singh's chest.Bhagwant Singh is stated to have suffered 15 injuries on his person.(2) Faqir Chand and Durga Prasiid during the investigation have proved bail applications in the Court of Sessions.The same were rejected vide order dated November 2, 19S7 and November 7, 1987 respectively Durga Prasad thereafter moved an application for grant of bail in High Court which was registered as Cril.Misc (M) 762 of 1988 and which came to be dismissed on .July 4. 1988 on merits.1988 through In's wife Shaino Devi before the trial Court as in the meanwhile the case has been committed for trial to the Sessions.It is alleged that the application Faqii Chand was moved by Shri P. P. Grover, Advocate and the application moved on behalf of the Durga Prasad by his wife was moved by Shri Ajay Kumar and who are juniors to Shri P. P. Grover, Advocate, Vide order dated August 4, 1988 line Additional Sessions Judge granted bail to Durga Prasad and vide order dated July 18, 1988 the same Court granted bail to Faqir Chand.It has been pleaded that no fresh grounds have been mentioned in the bail application which could entitled them to get bail from the Additional Sessions Judge.It has been strongly urged that a fraud has been practiced on the trial Court by not disclosing in the bail applica''ions of Faqir Chand and Durga Prasad that their previous bail applications have been dismissed on merits and the application of Durga Prasad had also been dismissed by the High Court.The complainant had moved an application before the Additional Sessions Judge also pointing out these facts seeking the order for cancelling the bail of the said two accused but the Additional Sessions Judge vide his impugned order dated September 7, 1988 had dismissed the application although he had mentioned in the order that if the accused bad disclosed in the application regarding dismissal of their applications on merits earlier, lie might have exercised his discretion in a different way but he, following the judgment of the High Court in K. K. Girdhar Vs.M.S. Kafhuria 35(1988), D.L.T. 392(1) dismissed the application.In the cited case.He has urged that there has been no fraud practiced on the Court by mere omission to mention the fate of the earlier bail applications in the fresh application for bail.(4) The learned counsel for the petitioner on the other hand has vehemently argued that by not disclosing the material facts.in the bail application that the previous bail applications has been dismissed on merits, a fraud has been practiced and the order of the Additional Sessions Judge also show's that if the material fact has been disclosed in the new bail applications.One bail application after another can be moved on behalf of the accused for seeking bail.The question which has arisen in the present case is whether on the mere fact that in a fresh application for bail the material fact of previous bail application having been rejected on merits is concluded amounts lo playing fraud on the Court or amounts to abuse of the process of Court if bail is granted on such application without coming to know about the previous application for grant of bail having been dismissed on merits by the High Court or even by the Sessions Court earlier.In case Babu Singh (supra) the only ratio laid down is that repeated applications for bail can be moved by the accused or on behalf of the accused.Counsel for the respondent has also cited Bhagirath singh Judeja Vs.State of Gujarat Facts in brief in the cited case were that an application for bail was moved before the Chief Judicial Magistrate and on the same day an application was moved for hail before the Sessions Judge.The Sessions Judge granted bail.

She was medically examined.Present petition under Section 439(2) Cr.P.C. has been filed by the prosecutrix / petitioner for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the respondent No.2 by the learned Addl.Sessions Judge vide orders dated 17.07.2014 and 12.08.2014 in case FIR No.290/2014 registered under Sections 323/341/342/354/354B/376/506 IPC at PS Harsh Vihar.I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and have examined the file.The respondent No.2 moved an application Crl.M.C. 146/2015 Page 1 of 3 for anticipatory bail.Vide order dated 17.07.2014, observing that there were no allegations of commission of offence punishable under Section 354 IPC and other offences were bailable in nature, anticipatory bail was granted.Subsequently, after about 24 days on 05.08.2014, the victim recorded her 164 Cr.P.C. statement where she levelled allegations of rape, molestation, insertion of finger in the vagina.Sections 376/354B IPC were added in the FIR.It prompted the respondent No.2 to seek anticipatory bail under those offences.Vide order dated 12.08.2014 the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail.Aggrieved by the said orders, the instant petition has been filed for cancellation of bail.M.C. 146/2015 Page 1 of 3Admittedly, the prosecutrix and the respondent No.2 are related to each other.There appears to be a property dispute between the parties.In the alleged history, she did not complain about any sexual assault.It is relevant to note that she was accompanied to the hospital by an NGO lady Paramjeet Kaur.After the respondent No.2 was granted anticipatory bail vide order dated 17.07.2014 in which it was observed that there were no allegations of offence under Section 354 IPC, after an inordinate delay, the prosecutrix recorded her 164 Cr.P.C. statement where she made vital improvements and introduced a new story levelling allegations of sexual assault.No medical examination was conducted thereafter.Charge-sheet is stated to have been filed.There are no allegations if after the grant of anticipatory bail the respondent No.2 ever Crl.M.C. 146/2015 Page 2 of 3 misused the liberty.The impugned order dated 12.08.2014 was passed in the presence of the complainant's counsel.The petitioner being duly educated is not expected to omit levelling charge of rape at first instance.M.C. 146/2015 Page 2 of 3Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I find no sufficient reasons / grounds to cancel the bail granted to the respondent No.2 by the Court below.The petition lacks merits and is dismissed.(S.P.GARG) JUDGE JULY 21, 2016 / tr Crl.M.C. 146/2015 Page 3 of 3M.C. 146/2015 Page 3 of 3

The writ petitioner is a Company registered under the Companies Act, supplying products to Bharath Earth Movers Limited (BEML), which is an establishment under the Ministry of Defence, Union of India.The 4th respondent is a registered Trade Union of the petitioner Company and respondents 5 to 12 are the previous and present Office Bearers of the 4th respondent Union.According to the writ petitioner, there has been some industrial dispute between the Management and the Union and the same is pending.The Union office bearers and other members went on strike from 15.11.2007, which according to the petitioner is illegal, since there was no proper notice given and it was in violation of the wage settlement.5(a).Since there were no effective steps taken by respondents 1 to 3, the writ petitioner has filed O.S.No.54 of 2007 on the file of Sub-Court, Hosur for permanent injunction restraining the 4th respondent and its members from obstructing and preventing the ingress and egress of men and materials from and to the factory and from holding any violent demonstrations and meetings, shouting defamatory slogans, etc. within 300 meters from the petitioner's factory.5(b).When the matter came up for admission, this Court directed the learned Government Advocate, who has taken notice on behalf of respondents 1 to 3 to find out the actual position of the case.On 07.12.2007, the learned Government Advocate, on oral instructions from the second respondent has submitted that in the writ petitioner's factory there has been a dispute between the Management and its employees regarding the status of alleged temporary workers.It was also submitted that in the Campus of the factory one Sub-Inspector of Police and five Police Constables were posted round-the-clock to give protection.He also submitted that en route the place of manufacture and supply, 20 Policemen were posted for the purpose of giving protection.He also submitted that in order to have a peaceful atmosphere, a suggestion was made by respondents 1 to 3 to the writ petitioner to move the materials from the factory twice a week and in such an event, the petitioner Management can give an advance information to the second respondent, so as to enable the second respondent to give adequate protection and maintain law and order.The said submission made by the learned Government Advocate was recorded and the writ petition was disposed of with direction to the second respondent to give police protection in the above terms as and when the petitioner gives advance information.Today, Mr.N.Senthil Kumar, learned Government Advocate on oral instructions from the second respondent viz. Mrs.Shyamala Devi would submit that in respect of the petitioner's factory, there has been some dispute between the factory and the employees/workmen, regarding the workmen having been changed.It is also further submitted, on instructions, within the campus of the factory one Sub Inspector of Police and 5 police constables have been posted to give protection round the clock.He would also submit that enroute to the place of manufacture and supply, 20 policemen are posted for the purpose of giving protection.He also submitted that in order to have a peaceful atmosphere, a suggestion was made to the petitioner, to move the materials twice a week and in such event, the petitioner-Management can give advance information to the second respondent so as to enable the second respondent to give adequate protection and to maintain law and order.The above submission made by the learned Government Advocate is recorded and the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the second respondent to give police protection on the above terms as and when the petitioner gives an advance information.No costs.Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed."Considering the genuineness of the claim made by respondents 4 to 12 in the writ petition, who have received the notice about the writ petition only on 08.12.2007, this Court by order dated 21.01.2008, has directed the respondents 4 to 12 to file counter affidavit in the main writ petition and also directed the main writ petition to be posted for counter.The counter has been filed by respondents 4 to 12 and both the Miscellaneous Petition and the main writ petition were heard together.The petitioner has also filed I.A.No.100 of 2007 for temporary injunction.The trial Court, on 09.06.2007, has passed an order of injunction against 4th respondent and its Union members from holding any violent demonstrations and meetings, shouting defamatory slogans, etc. within 200 meters from the petitioner's factory and from gheraoing the management staff, officers, apprentices and from preventing vehicle with finished, unfinished, semi-finished products, raw materials and fixtures and other things from entering into the factory or leaving the factory.5(c).After the said order, the writ petitioner has once again approached respondents 1 to 3 for giving protection to enforce the injunction order granted by the Civil Court.According to the petitioner, even after the order of injunction, respondents 4 to 12 have involved in illegal activities by erecting tent within 20 meters from the factory main gate; assembling in groups and shouting abusive and threatening slogans in front of the gate; threatening and intimidating the staff while entering and leaving the factory; indulging in stopping the vehicles and checking the personal belongings, bags etc. of the staff while leaving the factory; assaulting essential service suppliers and thereby paralysing the functioning of the factory; and causing damages to the vehicles by breaking the wind shield etc. which bring materials to the company.It was in the circumstance that in spite of the injunction being made absolute after hearing respondents 4 to 12, the said respondents have indulged in the said activities, the petitioner filed the above writ petition.Respondents 4 to 12 have filed counter affidavit.As per the counter affidavit, it is the case of the respondents that they have filed CMA.No.44 of 2007 against the order of injunction granted in I.A.No.100 of 2007 in O.S.No.54 of 2007 and they have also applied for the stay of order of injunction.Therefore, according to the respondents 4 to 12, the writ petitioner having approached the Civil court, cannot file the present writ petition.According to the respondents, the writ petitioner has committed unfair labour practice and dismissed 33 workers, including respondents 5,8,11 and 12, without enquiry.There is also breach of settlement by demanding the workers to perform higher work load which created industrial strife.According to respondents 4 to 12, an offender cannot be granted any discretionary relief under writ jurisdiction.The reason for strike called by respondents 4 to 12 is the illegal demand of the petitioner for upward revision of work load, in violation of the settlement between the parties entered in January,2006 which expires on 30th June,2008 and during the bilateral negotiations also the Management is demanding higher work load.6(a).According to respondents 4 to 12, the Management has brought 45 outsiders labelling them as "Trainees" and kept them as day in and day out, only to intimidate the workers.The complaint to Inspector of Factories has not been attended by the Inspector properly and the issue is pending before the Division Bench by way appeal.Therefore, according to the respondents, the demands made by them are not illegal.The notice for strike was given on 10.10.2007 and from 15.11.2007, respondents 4 to 12 and its Union workers are on legal strike.The idea of the writ petitioner is to break the strike by undertaking outsiders and also to achieve production.The police protection itself is sought for only to break the strike, which is legal.Since respondents 4 to 12 have already filed appeal against the order of injunction granted by the Civil Court, the writ petitioner is not entitled for any interim order in this case.R.Gandhi, learned senior counsel appearing for the writ petitioner has submitted that there are totally 163 workmen employed in the writ petitioner Company and while admitting that the 4th respondent is a major Union consisting more number of workers who are on strike from 15.11.2007, his contention is that respondents 4 to 12 have lost their case before the Civil Court in the interlocutory application stage, since the Civil Court has granted injunction pending suit after hearing both sides and it is the respondents 4 to 12 who have filed appeal against the said order and it is not necessary for the writ petitioner to approach the Civil Court again and it is the duty of respondents 1 to 3 in the writ petition to give protection to the petitioner in order to implement the civil Court order.7(a).According to the learned senior counsel, even the finished products which are situated inside the factory of the petitioner are not allowed to be taken away and under the guise of right of strike, the employees should not indulge in illegal and violent activities.According to him, respondents 4 to 12 have no right to prevent the employees who are willing to work and other persons who are entering into the factory premises cannot be prevented in the name of strike.His further contention is that respondents 4 to 12 are not allowing any lorry even to go out, with the result, the writ petitioner is unable to supply materials to Defence Department.7(b).He would also rely upon an order of this Court made in W.P.No.33949 of 2007 dated 29.10.2007, in which the claim of the 4th respondent Union for direction to take action against the writ petitioner, viz., not to engage trainees/apprentices, was dismissed.He would also submit that many criminal complaints have been given by the writ petitioner.The learned Government Advocate, on instructions would submit that between 15.11.2007 and 19.11.2007, 2 Police Constables were posted regularly in the premises of the writ petitioner; from 20.11.2007 to 07.12.2007 one Sub-Inspector of Police and 4 Constables were posted daily in the premises and from 08.12.2007 till date two Police Constables have been posted to give 24 hour protection to the writ petitioner Company.The complaints by the employer/writ petitioner relate to damage to public properties while the complaints by the workmen relate to threatening and making division among the workers.According to learned Government Advocate, Crime No.9 of 2008 has been registered by police on 05.01.2008 under Sections 323 and 324 IPC.V.Prakash, learned senior counsel appearing for respondents 4 to 12 submits that the Union members are on legal strike from 15.11.2007, which arose under Industries Disputes Act. According to him, the writ petitioner/employer failed to act as per the settlement on payment of wages and work load and wanted to extract higher work load and many workers have been dismissed without notice.His submission is that in the name of engaging outsiders and calling them as apprentices/trainees, the writ petitioner employed them as regular employees and the idea of the writ petitioner is to divide the Union and if that is allowed, the concept of collective bargain will be thrown to winds, which is not the intend of the legislature in making laws.I have heard Mr.R.Gandhi, learned senior counsel for the petitioner, Mr.L.S.M.Hazan Fizal, learned Government Advocate for respondents 1 to 3 and Mr.It is also not in dispute that the writ petitioner has approached the Civil Court and filed a suit against the 4th respondent and its Union members.When the employer attempts to divide the striking workers, which is lawful, it is certainly open to the 4th respondent Union and its members to approach the Inspector of Factories or raise an industrial dispute by treating the same as unfair labour practice, etc. and the immunity granted under Section 18(1) of the Act cannot mean to say that the Union must be permitted to achieve its object by resorting to the method which are not permitted in law.In view of the above said facts and legal position, I am of the considered view that the writ petitioner must be granted police protection in the light of the order of injunction granted on 09.06.2007 in I.A.No.100 of 2007 in O.S.No.54 of 2007, which was made absolute on 21.11.2007, to perform its legal obligations, but at the same time, with liberty to the 4th respondent Union to approach the appropriate forum for redressal of its grievance regarding the alleged employment of trainees/apprentices on regular basis by the writ petitioner.In view of the same, the writ petition stands ordered on the above terms.No costs.1.The Superintendent of Police Krishnagiri, Krishnagiri District.2.The Deputy Superintendent of Police Hosur, Krishnagiri District.3.The Inspector of Police SIPCOT, Hosur, Krishnagiri District.

ORDER K.S. Hegde, J.The appellants were tried before the learned Sessions Judge of Bellary, in Sessions Case No. 14 of 1957 on his file, for the murder of one Mareppa on the midnight of 31 3 1957 at Benakal village, Bellary District.They are also tried for some other offences alleged to have been committed at the time of the said murder.They were convicted Under Section 302, IPC and sentenced to imprisonment for life.Further appellants 1 and 2 (Basappa and Badrigadu respectively) were convicted for an offence Under Section 324, for causing hurt to Mareppa, and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.Appellant No. 31 (Chakalabandi Adavappa) was convicted for an of m fence Under Section 324 IPC for causing hurt to P.W. 2 (Mariswamappa) and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.Appellant No. 4 (Phothagadu) was convicted Under Section 326 IPC for causing grievous hurt to P.W. 2 (Mariswamappa) and sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.The several sentences imposed on the appellants were made to run concurrently.2. Accused 1 and 2 are cousins.Accused Sections and 4 are brothers and all the accused are related to one another.The case for the prosecution is that in the village of Benakal there were two factions; one of the factions was led by A l (Basarroal by and the opposing faction was led by one Handihal Hanumanthappa; feelings between these two factions were very bitter; the deceased and P. W 2 (Mariswamappa) belonged to the faction of Handihal Hanvrninthappa, whereas all the accused belonged to the faction led by A l. It is further alleged that on the night of 31 3 1957, two haystacks be lonsine to A l and A 3 caught fire; at that time the deceased, P.W. 2 and many others were attending a Baiana performance in Durgamma temple not far from the scene of occurrence; on seeing the haystacks ablaze, the deceased, P.W. 2 and many others went to the scene.With a view to have a nearer view of the burning haystacks, the deceased and P.W. 2 first stood on the roof of A 3' house and later on moved on to the roof of A 3' house which was close to the burning haystacks.The party of the accused suspected that the deceased and P.W. 2 must have set fire to the haystacks and further they were there to enjoy the fun.That first information is marked as Ex P 3 in this case.The police immediately came to the scene or occurrence but by the time they reached the scene,, the body of the deceased was almost burnt.The Head of the Department of Forensic Medicine, Medical College Mysore (P.W. 4 Dr. A. T. Srinivasa Iyengar) who examined the burnt bones and flesh of the deceased, was unable to give1 any opinion as regards the cause of death.So also P.W. 7 (Dr. Y. Padmanabha Rao) who held the post mortem examination was not in a position to speak about the cause of death.P.W. 1 (Dr. B. N. Ramakrishniah) who examined P.W. 2 found' two injuries on his person.One of them was a tapering cut wound 4" x 1/2 which exposed the bones of the elbow and the other was a lacerated wound 1" x W scalp deep situated 2" behind the right ear.He was of the opinion, that the injury on .the elbow was a grievous one.There appears to have been some controversy in the Court below as to whether the bones and flesh recovered by tile Police from the burning haystacks were those On the deceased Mareppa.There is little doubt in this case that Mareppa had died on the night of f51 3 1957 and the bones and flesh recovered by the police were those of the deceased.The trial Court, accepted the prosecution case on this point and its conclusions were not challenged before us.Hence it is unnecessary to go over that ground.The existence of the alleged factions was not disputed before us.The immediate occasion for the attack on the deceased and P.W. 2 according, to the prosecution, is the burning of the haystacks.This is clear from the evidence of P.W. 2, P.W. & (Saranappa), P.W. 5 (Mari Durgappa).P.W. ft (Talur Mareppa).P.W. 9 (Basappa) and P.W. 1U (Mukkanna).The presence of P.W. 2 at the ' scene of the occurrence cannot be denied.He him , self has sustained injuries.Undoubtedly he b& longs to the faction of the deceased wd he was are enemy of the accused.the first Information laid before the police.It may be remembered that this information was laid before the police almost within three hours after the occurrence and1 that at a place which is about 6 miles from the scene of occurrence.There was little time to concoct a false story.The evidence of P.W. 2 is fully corroborated by P.W. 3 (Saranappa) and P.W. 6 (Talur Mareppa).Their houses are very near the scene of occurrence and hence they are natural witnesses.It is true that P.W. 3 is the brother in law of P.W. 2 and P.W. 6 is the maternal uncle of the deceased.Hence undoubtedly they are interested witnesses.As regards the throwing of the body of Mareppa into the burning haystacks, we have the evidence of P.W. 6 and P.W. 5 Mari Durgappa).He urged the we should not place reliance on their evidence, particularly in view of the existence of the factions,It was also urged that though a large number of persons have witnessed the occurrence, no disinterested witness has been examined to support the prosecution case.This is true.But in a factious village, people who are really neutral, will be reluctant to come forward as witnesses to support one or the other side, lest they should invite trouble for themselves.This is a common tendency.The fact that the deceased was killed and P.W. 2 was injured on the night of 31 3 1957 admits of no doubt.The sequel of events as disclosed by the prosecution witnesses appear to be natural.But above all, there is the firs' information (Ex. P 3) which is of utmost importance in this case.According to the evidence of P.W. 1, the injury caused on the elbow of P.W. 2 is a grievous injury.The prosecution evidence shows that the said injury was caused by A 4 (Pothugadu).Hence A 4's conviction Under Section 326 IPC is justified.Some attempt was made to show that the injury in question was a simple injury.Similarly the conviction of A 3 (Adiveppa) Under Section 324 IPC for pausing hurt to P.W. 2 cannot be questioned.Now coming to the murder of the decease ed, we are faced with certain difficulties, as the Doctors were not able to give any definite opinion as regards the cause of his death.To some extent We are left to conjecture as to what was the direct cause of his death.

the ground of non-consummation of marriage due to willful neglect on the part of the wife was allowed by the Court below.The wife initiated proceedings under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.Now, he wants to include the records of this proceeding and also his oral evidence on that basis as evidence in the 2 present suit.We feel that the section 498A legal proceedings when started some two years after the divorce have no direct connection with this proceeding, although they might be a result of a further fall out between the husband and the wife.All the records of present proceedings would only make the present proceedings unnecessarily time consuming.For All these reasons, we do not entertain the application (CAN 10038 of 2017) under order 41 Rule 27 of the Code of Civil Procedure.The same is hereby dismissed.( I. P. Mukerji,J.) (Amrita Sinha, J.)

Shri Praveen Kumar Pandey, Advocate for the applicant.Shri R.N. Yadav, Panel Lawyer for the State.This is the third application filed by the applicant under Section 438 of the Criminal Procedure Code for grant of anticipatory bail.Both the previous applications were dismissed as withdrawn.The applicant apprehends his arrest in connection with Crime No. 193/2012 registered at Police Station-Chachai, District Anuppur for the offences punishable under Sections 294, 323, 324, 506-B and 326 of the IPC.Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case.There is possibility of compromise between the parties.The applicant has no criminal past.I have perused the case diary.It has been specifically alleged against the applicant that he assaulted the complainant by an Axe, as a result of which he sustained injuries on his head.In these circumstances, I do not find it a fit case to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory.
['Section 324 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 294 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 323 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 326 in The Indian Penal Code']

The petitioner is shown as Accused No.6 in C.C.No.54 of 2013 on thefile of the Judicial Magistrate Court No.II, Virudhunagar.The de-factocomplainant in this case is the second respondent herein.2.Though the second respondent has been served and his name is also figuring in the cause list, he has not not chosen to appear before this Courteither in person or through counsel.It is seen that in respect of one of the propertiesbelonging to the second respondent, the first accused viz., Selvaraj executedPower of Attorney, dated 16.08.2005, in favour of the fourth accused, who inturn executed another Power of Attorney, dated 15.03.2007, in favour of thepetitioner herein.Thesecond respondent had moved the learned Judicial Magistrate No.The first respondent conducted investigation and laid the final reportunder Sections 120-B, 419, 465, 468, 471 r/w. 109 IPC.The petitioner isshown as 6th Accused in the Final Report.To quash the proceedings, insofar as she is concerned, thepetitioner/A6 has filed the present Criminal Original Petition.4.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and thelearned Government Advocate (Criminal side) appearing for the firstrespondent.But, in this case, the direction issued bythe learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Sattur, was not only followed butlater, investigation was conducted and final report was filed and the samewas also taken on file in C.C.No.54 of 2013 by the learned JudicialMagistrate No.II, Virudhunagar.Therefore, much water has flown under thebridge and it is late, in the day, on the part of the petitioner to raise thepoint of territorial jurisdiction of the Magistrate, who issued directionunder Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. But, then, the other contention of the learnedcounsel for the petitioner merits acceptance.The learned counsel appearingfor the petitioner pointed out that the petitioner did not have any directlink with the first accused.The petitioner was not the Power of Attorney ofthe first accused.It was the fourth accused, who hadexecuted fresh Power of Attorney, dated 15.03.2007, in favour of thepetitioner.The only material to establish a joint conspiracy underSection 120-B IPC is the statement of one Palani.8.This Court went through the said 161(3) Cr.P.C. statement of L.W.6 -Palani.It stretches the credulity of this Court.The said statement hasbeen prepared deliberately to rope in all the accused.The de-factocomplainant merely points out that A1 to A4 have joined together and createdfalse documents.The only allegation that is made against the petitioner bythe de-facto complainant is that the petitioner based on the false documentexecuted in her favour by A4, had executed a further sale deed.This Courtis of the view that there is no legally acceptable material to fasten anypenal liability on her.Therefore, the impugned prosecution in C.C.No.54 of2013 is quashed in respect of the petitioner alone.This Criminal OriginalPetition is allowed accordingly.2.The Inspector of Police, District Crime Branch, Virudhunagar District.3.The Additional Public Prosecutor, Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, Madurai.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, Ld. P.P., Mr. Partha Pratim Das CRM No. 4151/17 Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, Ld. P.P., Mr. Pradipta Ganguly CRM No. 4157/17 Mr. Atif Ahmed Siddique CRM No. 4158/17 Since the petitioner is common in all the aforesaid bail applications, the same are taken up for hearing together and are disposed of by a common order.The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in the first three cases he was named in the FIR and not named in the last one.He further submits that he has been falsely implicated.On the other hand, from the side of the State prayer for bail is vehemently opposed and it is submitted this is a communal violation and petitioner's direct involvement and participation in the commission of the offence has been clearly transpired from the statement of the eye-witnesses to the occurrence.According to those eyewitnesses, he played active role in the commission of the offence, may be that in one case, he has not been named in the FIR.Accordingly, the application for bail stands rejected.(Ashim Kumar Roy, J.)

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

Mr.Muthu @ Mookan, along with her female child.Thereafter, she developed intimacy withone Dhanraj of Thirupparankundram and shifted to Thiruppur.Dhanraj wasdoing painting work in Thiruppur and Kannimariyal was working in a privatecompany as a daily wager.Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha was put in a school in Pattukottai, but, she later discontinued.Thereafter, she also joined aprivate banyan company in Thiruppur known as, ?JJ Company?.In course of time, Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha had fallen in love with one Anandan of Thiruppur, who was also working in the same Company.Without the knowledge of her mother and Mr.Dhanraj, she married Mr.Hardly for 7 days, shelived with Mr.Anandan as his wife and then, she deserted him and came down toPerur Village.She stayed in Perur Village at the house of oneMr.Shanmugaraj, who was her mother's sister's husband, for few days andthereafter, left Perur Village for Thiruppur.But, she did not turn up inThiruppur.Her mother also, in the meanwhile, passed away.Her husbandMr.The body was highly decomposed and identity could not be made out.Inquest was held on the body and thereafter, it was sent forpostmortem.One Dr.Subbiah, an Assistant Surgeon, attached to Srivaikundam Government hospital, conducted autopsy on the body of the deceased on 05.04.2002 at 4.30 p.m. He found that the body was half burnt and therewere also injuries on the body.Clotted blood was found on the earth nearthe dead body.But, there was no bloodstain on the body.Hyoid bone wasintact.All the internal organs were also intact.Around the neck, therewas a ligature mark indicating that the deceased would have been strangulatedby using the ligature.The uterus contained a foetus of 6 to 8 weeks old.The Doctor finally opined that the externalinjuries found on the body would have been caused by a weapon, like knife andthat the deceased would have died due to cumulative effect of all theinjuries including constriction of neck.Based on the above, the Inspector of Police, altered the caseinto one under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.During the course ofinvestigation, he examined few persons from Perur Village.The photograph ofthe body taken was shown to the relatives of Manimegalai @ Mekala.The body had already been buried.From and out of the photographs, the relatives andthe villagers could not make out the identity of the deceased.However, aclose relative of the deceased, by name, Shanmugaraj, told the police thatthe cloth materials found on the body were like that of the dress materialsof Manimegalai @ Mekala.Therefore, the Investigating Officer had suspectedthat the body would have been that of Manimegalai @ Mekala.Then, during thecourse of investigation, the Investigating Officer went to Thiruppur,examined her husband Mr.Anandan and collected a photograph of Manimegalai.Even Mr.Anandan was not in a position to say about the whereabouts ofManimegalai @ Mekala, because he himself was not informed of by Manimegalai @ Mekala before leaving Thiruppur.The photograph of Manimegalai @ Mekala collected by the Investigating Officer was then forwarded to the Forensic Labat Chennai for superimposition examination with the skull of the dead body.The report revealed that in the superimposition examination, it was confirmedthat the skull was that of the person in the photograph, thereby indicatingthat Mrs.Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha was the one, who was done to death.The accused 1 to 3 gave confessions in thepresence of the Village Administrative Officer concerned.Out of thedisclosure statement made by the 2nd accused, a knife was recovered.On completing the investigation, he laid charge sheet against all the fouraccused.According to the final report, Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha hadsold the house belonging to her mother -

P.W.6, one Pechimuthu is the Village Administrative Officer, whohas spoken about the recovery of material objects from the place ofoccurrence, like bloodstained earth, sample earth, Plastic Can, brokensyringe etc., on 05.04.2002 by the Inspector of Police of Murappanadu PoliceStation. P.W.7, one Abdul Khader, was the Village Administrative Officer ofMurappanadu.According to him, on 22.05.2004, at 7.00 a.m., atGnanamadankulam, the accused 1 to 3 were arrested by the Inspector of Police.It was only duringher visit in the month of February 2011, she came to know that it was made toappear to the public by the police, that she was murdered and that themurderers were the accused in the case.Then, on the advice of thevillagers, Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha appeared before the DistrictCollector, Tuticorin on 11.02.2011 and made a representation.In the saidrepresentation, she wanted action to be taken in this regard.But theDistrict Collector did not take any prompt action to ascertain the truth ofthe matter.He simply referred the said complaint to the Superintendent ofPolice, Tuticorin District.The then Superintendent of Police, TuticorinDistrict also did not take any prompt action in that regard.In the reportnow submitted by the Superintendent of Police before this court, it is statedthat the said representation of the woman claiming herself to be Manimegalai@ Mekala @ Punitha forwarded to the Superintendent of Police was in turnhanded over to the Inspector of Police, Murappanadu Police Station.TheInspector of Police, Murappanadu Police Station also did not take any promptaction to find out the truth.The District Collector, Tuticorin was directedto depute a responsible Officer to be present before this Court.The District Revenue Officer,Tuticorin was also present.The District Revenue Officer submitted that itis true that a woman claiming herself to be Manimegalai @ Mekala W/o.Anandan appeared before the District Collector, Tuticorin on 10.02.2011 and presenteda representation that she is Manimegalai @ Mekala, who is stated to have beenkilled, for which, the accused in this case were all tried and acquitted.He has further stated that thereafter, he did not see CW1at all anywhere.He has also identified CW1 in Court.He has also identified CW1 asMrs.In order to make the process accurate, 3Dphotographs of the missing person is developed and overlaying of the same isdone with the virtual model of the skull.As per the scheme framed in the Stateof Tamil Nadu, a sum of Rs.3 lakhs is the maximum amount, which could be awarded to the victim of a crime in a case of death.Having regard to thesaid legal position and having taken note of the judgment relied on by thelearned counsel for the petitioners and all the other attendantcircumstances, I am of the view that directing the Government to pay a sum ofRs.4 lakhs for each accused as compensation would meet the ends of justice.In the result, these Criminal Original Petitions are disposed ofin the following terms:I am satisfied that though belated, justice isdone to the aggrieved at least now.As Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of theNation preached, ?Truth is a powerful weapon which unfailingly triumphs.?

P.W.8, one Radharamani, was the scientific Assistant, RegionalForensic Sciences Lab at Tirunelveli.According to him, on 05.04.2002, on therequest of the Inspector of Police, Murappanadu Police Station, he visitedthe scene of occurrence, where the dead body was found and he assisted the Inspector of Police for recovery of the said material objects.But, he couldnot extend any more help to the police for further investigation.P.W.9, oneGeetha, the Head Clerk of the learned Magistrate Court, has spoken to thefact that she forwarded the skull produced before the Court to the ForensicLab for superimposition examination.P.W.10, one Suresh, has spoken to thefact that he was a Constable, working in the Dog Squad of Tuticorin Districtand he had brought one sniffer dog to the place of occurrence, where the deadbody was found, but, the dog could not render any help for the detection ofthe culprits.P.W.11 is the Constable, who assisted the Doctor, when thebody was subjected to autopsy.P.W.12 - Dr.Subbiah has deposed that on 05.04.2002, he conducted autopsy on the dead body, opined that the death was due to cumulative effect of the injuries found and that the dead body washalf burnt with petrol.P.W.13 was the then Sub Inspector of Police attached toMurappanadu Police Station, who had spoken about his handing over the FirstInformation Report and the other documents to the authorities concerned.P.W.14 is the Investigating Officer, who had spoken extensively about theinvestigation done by him and the report received by him from the ForensicLab.

Kotnis, the Superintendent of Police,submitted that the said representation was entrusted to one Mr.P.K.Ravi, theInspector of Police, who had not taken any action, since the petitioners toldhim that they would work out their remedy before the Court.She was accompaniedby her cousin Mr.Veilmuthu Stalin.Before this Court, she said that she isreally Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha.She further stated that when she was three years old, her mother deserted her father Mr.Muthu and left forThiruppur.She further narrated her stay at Thiruppur, her marriage withAnandan and her returning to the Village Perur for some time and then leavingfor Chennai.She vividly spoke before this Court that she confined herselfin Chennai until 2011 , as she had converted to Islam and married oneShajaghan.She further told that she has got two children also.Veilmuthu Stalin also identified her as Manimegalai @ Mekala.When thephotograph which was used for superimposition was shown to her, she identified the person in the said photograph as herself.The Superintendentof Police, Tuticorin, further submitted that the biological father ofManimegalai @ Mekala by name Muthu had been located in Isavankulam Village in Srivaikundam Taluk.He further submitted that he was prepared to hold adetailed enquiry and to submit a further report, after ascertaining whetherthe woman in question is really Manimegalai @ Mekala.This Court, therefore,directed the Superintendent of Police to cause the appearance of the womanbefore the Dean, Government Medical College at Madurai for taking bloodsamples for the purpose of DNA examination.Similarly, the Superintendent ofPolice was directed to cause the appearance of Mr.Muthu, before the Dean,Government Medical College Hospital at Tuticorin, for taking blood samplesfor the purpose of DNA examination.He was further directed to produce theblood samples before the Director of Forensic Science Laboratory, Chennai forconducting DNA examination.While so, on 07.07.2015, he made a request before this Court to modify the order since the DNA examination could beconducted at the Regional Forensic Science Laboratory, Madurai itself.Accordingly, this Court modified the earlier order, by order dated 07.07.2015and directed the DNA examination to be conducted at the Regional ForensicScience Laboratory, Madurai.The matter was, thus, adjourned.As directed by this Court, the blood samples were taken from bothand they were subjected to DNA examination.Muthu @ Mookan is the biological father of Manimegalai @ Mekala.The Superintendentof Police then submitted a detailed report before this Court on 14.07.2015,wherein he has vividly spoken about the details of the enquiry conducted byhim and the report of the Deputy Director of Regional Forensic ScienceLaboratory on conducting DNA examination.In Paragraph Nos.14, 15 & 16, he has reported as follows;"14.I humbly submit that on 11.07.2015, I obtained the DNA result fromthe Deputy Director of regional Forensic Science Laboratory, Madurai.Theresult states that "From the DNA typing results of the above blood samples,it is found that in the absence of identical twins, Mr.Muthu @ Mookan is thebiological father of Ms.Mekala @ Manimekala @ Mumtazbegum.15.I humbly submit that based on the enquiry conducted by me, thestatements of the witnesses and by the Paternity test report, it reveals thatTmt.Mumtaz Begum, W/o.Shahjahan who is claiming herself as Mekala @ Manimekala, is in fact Mekala @ Menimekala, the daughter of Mookkan and Kannimarial of Perur Village.16.I humbly submit that the Inspector of Police, Murappanadu P.S.conducted the investigation in the Murappanadu P.S. Crime No.147/2002 under Section 174 Cr.P.C. @ 302, 201 IPC on scientific evidence.The trial Courthas also given a specific finding that the prosecution had proved that thedead body found near the bridge was that of Mekala @ Manimekala.The above said facts clearly establish that the action has been bonafide.The policehad no motive to falsely implicate the above petitioners in the aforesaidcase.Today, when the matter was taken up, the Superintendent of Policewas present.The woman, claiming herself to be Manimegalai @ Mekala, D/o.Muthu and W/o.Anandan, her biological father Mr.Muthu and her husband Mr.Anandan were present.It will appear as though Manimegalai @ Mekala @Punitha was murdered, however, these accused were acquitted for want ofevidence.The parties were affordedopportunity to cross examine them if they wanted.At Thiruppur her mothermarried CW3 ? Mr.Dhanraj, through whom she has got a son.She has further stated that she married Anandan (CW4) at Thiruppur and then, she lived withhim hardly for a weeks time.She has further stated that she came to Perurand then after having stayed there for few days, she left for Chennai.InChennai, she married one Shajakan, after conversion to Islam and she has gottwo children now.She has stated that she has changed her name as Mumtaz Begum.She has further stated that when she came down to Perur in the year 2011, she came to know about the case and then she made a representation to the District Collector.She has also admitted that on 06.07.2015 bloodsamples were taken from her by a team of Doctors at Government Medical College, Madurai for the purpose of DNA examination as directed by thiscourt.She identified CW3 and other relatives, who were present before thisCourt.CW2 - Muthu @ Mookan, who is the biological father of Manimegalai @ Mekala, has stated that he married Kannimariyal and CW1 was born to them out of the said wedlock.He has further stated that when the child was hardlythree years old, his wife deserted him and thereafter, her whereabouts wasnot known.He has further stated that he is not in a position to identifywhether CW1 - Manimegalai @ Mekala is his daughter or not, because aftershe was taken by her mother at the age of three years, he had no occasion tosee her at all.He has also admitted that on 07.07.2015 he gave bloodsamples at the Government Medical College Hospital, Tuticorin for DNAexamination as directed by this court.According to him, when CW1 was hardly three years old, her mother came to Thirupparamkundram along with CW1 and developed intimacy with him and then he took her to Thiruppur.Out of the intimacybetween him and Kannimariyal, a son was born.He has further stated that CW1 was put in a school at Thanajvur and then in Pattukkottai.He has furtherstated that without his knowledge, CW1 married Mr.He has further stated that after one week of the marriage, Anandan came and told himthat Manimegalai @ Mekala was found missing.The search made for her proved futile.Thereafter, he had no occasion to see Manimegalai @ Mekala at all.He has identified her in Court as Manimegalai @ Mekala, his adopted daughter.Anandan, who married Manimegalai @ Mekala.He has stated that CW1 was his wife.He has identified her in open Court.He hasfurther stated that the marital life lasted hardly for a week's time andthereafter, she disappeared.He has further stated that he went in search ofher to various places including Perur.Since he was not able to locate her,he made a complaint to the Sub Inspector of Police at Srivaikundam PoliceStation, on whose complaint the case in Crime No.154 of 2002 was registeredfor woman missing.Manimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha.Ashwin Kotnis.He hasstated about the enquiry held by him as directed by this court and hisreport.As I have already extracted, in his report, he has categoricallystated that CW1 is Manimegalai @ Mekala.He has further stated that the deadbody which was found near the bridge is that of some other woman andregarding her death, investigation needs to be reopened and conducted now.The oral evidences of these witnesses are duly corroborated by the expert opinion, based on DNA examination conducted by a team of three experts at the Regional Forensic Laboratory, Madurai.In this case, a peculiar question has arisen for the first time asto what is the weightage that could be given to the superimpositionexamination often conducted in this State, at the behest of the Police, whenthe identity of the deceased in any case could not be ascertained by thewitnesses.It is a common knowledge that as and when a dead body is beyond recognition, resort is made to send the skeletal remains of the dead bodyfor superimposition.In this regard, I may say that forensic anthropology isbest conceptualized, more broadly, as a field of forensic assessment of humanskeletonised remains and their environments.[vide W.M. Krogman and M.Y. Iscan - The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine, Springfield, 1986 - 2ndEdition].This assessment includes both the identification of the victim'sphysical characteristics and cause and manner of the death from the skeleton.The most important application of forensic anthropology is the identificationof the human being from the skeletal remains.The photographic supra-projection is a forensic process where the photographs or video shots of amissing person are compared with the skull that is found.It is done byprojecting both the photographs on top of each other.But, this method wasnot found to be accurate.But, here,in this case, he had taken every possible efforts to identify the skull bysending the same for superimposition.It may be questioned that as to why DNA examination was not conducted then, in order to conclusively prove that the dead body was that ofManimegalai @ Mekala @ Punitha.From the evidences placed before this Court, it could be culledout that CW1 was not even aware of her father Mr.Muthu, who was present before this Court, would say that he was not in a position toidentify whether CW1 is Manimegalai @ Mekala or not.Thus, neither thefather is able to identify his daughter nor the daughter is able to identifyher father.Anandan, who originally preferred complaint to the police inrespect of missing of Manimegalai @ Mekala, was all along under theimpression that Mr.Dhanraj was her father.Therefore, the investigatingofficer, who conducted the investigation on earlier occasion, was notinformed of that the biological father of Manimegalai @ Mekala is Mr.It is only on the direction of this Court, the Superintendent of Police hastaken efforts to collect these facts and to bring to light that Mr.TheDeputy Superintendent of Police, Mr.Dharmalingam, District Crime Branch,Tuticorin, shall take up the case forthwith for investigation, conduct athorough investigation in respect of the dead body, which was found on05.04.2002 on the road leading to Vallakulam Village.The InvestigatingOfficer shall ascertain as to whose dead body was that and bring to book theperpetrators of the crime.(v) The Secretary, Home (Police) Department, Government of Tamil Nadu, shall pay Rs.4 lakhs as compensation to each accused in S.C.No.259 of 2005 on the file of the learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, Fast TrackCourt No.II, Tuticorin, namely, Mr.Koilpillai, Mr.Balasubramanian,Mr.Kurunthan @ Jeyakumar and Mr.Dhasan, by means of demand drafts drawn in their respective name within a period of three months from the date ofr

I would like to mention that this is the rarestcase
where a woman
in my considered opinion
will be an eye-opener for the police in this State that in the matter of investigation
theyshould be extra cautious leaving no stone unturned.I am only hopeful thatin the days to come
learning a lesson from this episode
the policedepartment in the State
will try to use all possible scientific means andmethods to unearth the truth in the matter of investigation
instead ofadopting simply the conventional method of investigation relying only ontestimonies of human beings.As the saying goes
men may lie but not thecircumstances.Similarly
the science shall never fail.Before parting with this case
I would like to place on record myappreciation for the excellent service rendered by Mr.Ashwin Kotnis
theSuperintendent of Police
Tuticorin
who
within a short span of time
asdirected by this Court
had taken all efforts to secure the witnesses so asto find out the truth
to get the report of the DNA expert and to submit afair report before this Court within the time frame.I also appreciate theteam of officers
namely
(i) Mrs.T.Vanitha Rani
Inspector of Police
AllWomen Police Station
Pudukottai
Thoothukudi District
(ii) Mr.F.BernadXavier
Inspector of Police
Murappanadu Police Station
(iii) Mr.Hariharan
Inspector
Special Branch
(iv) Mr.Kandasamy
Sub Inspector of Police
SipcotPolice Station and (v) Mr.P.Arunsakthikumar
IPS
Assistant Superintendent ofPolice
who were in the team who shared the burden with the Superintendent ofPolice to collect all the necessary facts within the time frame.R.Alagumani andMr.E.Athisaya Kumar
the learned counsel
for having taken up the cause ofthese poor people to this Court.Similarly
I appreciate Mr.Had this woman
Mrs.Manimegalai not gone to the DistrictCollector
the travesty of justice declaring her dead would have beenperpetuated .But
for these petitions filed by the petitioners
this mockerywould not have been corrected.7.The Inspector of Police
Murappanadu Police Station
Thoothukudi District.8.The Inspector of Police
Srivaigundam Police Station
Thoothukudi District.9.The Special Public Prosecutor for CBI Cases

CRL.M.C. 1496/2019 Page 3 of 3(ORAL) Quashing of FIR No. 64/2018, under Sections 354/354D/506/509 of IPC registered at police station Barakhamba Road, New Delhi is sought on the basis of Affidavit of 1st February, 2019 of respondent No. 2 and on the ground that the misunderstanding which led to registration of the FIR, now stands cleared between the parties.Criminal cases involving offences which arise from commercial, financial, mercantile, partnership or similar transactions with an essentially civil flavour may in appropriate situations fall for quashing where parties have settled the dispute.In such a case, the High Court may quash the criminal proceeding if in view of the compromise between the disputants, the possibility of a conviction is remote and the continuation of a criminal proceeding would cause oppression and prejudice".In the facts and circumstances of this case, I find that continuance of proceedings arising out of the FIR in question would be an exercise in futility as the misunderstanding, which led to registration of the FIR, now stands cleared between the parties.Accordingly, this petition is allowed subject to costs of `25,000/- to be deposited by petitioner with Prime Minister's National Relief Fund CRL.M.C. 1496/2019 Page 2 of 3 within three days from today.Upon placing on record the proof of deposit of costs within two days thereafter and handing over its copy to the Investigating Officer, FIR No.64/2018, under Sections 354/354D/506/509 of IPC registered at police station Barakhamba Road, New Delhi and the proceedings emanating therefrom shall stand quashed.CRL.M.C. 1496/2019 Page 2 of 3This petition and the application are accordingly disposed of.(SUNIL GAUR) JUDGE MARCH 18, 2019 p'ma CRL.M.C. 1496/2019 Page 3 of 3

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

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.

learned Dy.Advocate for the respondent/State.This Criminal Revision has been filed under Section 397 of Cr.P.C. against the order dated 23.02.2016 passed by the Second Additional Sessions Judge
Rajgarh (Biaora) in S.T. 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

learned counsel for the respondent.Heard finally at motion stage.This leave to appeal has been filed against the judgment dated 01.07.2016 passed by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate
Indore in Criminal Case No.3517/2001
whereby he acquitted the respondent from the charge under Section 279
337
338 and 304(A) of the IPC.[2] Learned counsel for the applicant/State submitted that from the statement of Hemsingh (PW-1) it is clearly proved that at the time of accident respondent/accused rashly and negligently drove the vehicle bearing registration No.MP09-K-7976 and dashed against Kinetic Moped
due to which two girls sustained injuries and one of them died.From the statement of Tarachand (PW-2) it is also proved that at the time of accident vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was being driven by respondent Mazhar.So
learned trial court committed mistake in acquitting the accused Mazhar from the aforesaid charge.[3] On the contrary
learned counsel for the respondent submitted that from the statement of Hemsingh (PW-1) it is not proved that driver of the vehicle No.MP09- K-7976 was driving said vehicle rashly and negligently
at the time of incident.Also it is not proved that vehicle No.MP09- K-7976 was being driven by the respondent at the time of accident.Although Tarachand (PW-2) deposed that respondent Mazhar was the driver on said vehicle on the date of accident but he is not an eye witness of the incident so only on the basis of his statement
it cannot be assumed that vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was being driven by the respondent Mazhar at the time of accident.So
learned trial court after appreciating all the evidence rightly acquitted the accused and pray for rejection.[4] This court perused the record and considered arguments put forth by the parties.Hemsingh (PW-1) only stated that at the time of accident driver of vehicle No.MP09- K-7976 was driving vehicle at a high speed and dashed against the Kinetic Moped
due to which two girls sustained injuries but he did not specifically deposed in his statement that as to at what speed the vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was being driven at the time of accident.So
only on the basis of statement of Hemsingh (PW-1) that driver of vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was driving vehicle at a high speed
it cannot be assumed that the driver of the said vehicle drove the vehicle rashly and negligently at the time of accident.Hemsingh (PW-1)
who is an eye witness of the incident
did not even depose that the said vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was being driven by the respondent Mazhar at the time of accident.So
from his statement it is also not proved that vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was being driven by the respondent Mazhar at the time of accident.[5] Although Tarachand (PW-2) deposed that on the date of accident respondent Mazhar was the driver on his vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 but he is not an eye witness
so without any other corroborating evidence merely on the basis of his statement it cannot be assumed that the vehicle No.MP09-K-7976 was being driven by respondent Mazhar at the time of accident.So in the considered opinion of this court learned trial court did not commit any mistake in acquitting the accused from the aforesaid charge.Hence
the petition is dismissed.Record be sent back to the trial court along with the copy of this order.Accordingly
the M.Cr.C. is disposed of.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns Cr.R.No.1558/2016 03.03.2017 Shri N.S.Bhati

Mandleshwar in Criminal Revision No.111/2016
whereby learned Additional Sessions Judge
Mandleshwar rejected applicant's Criminal Revision No.111/2016 and maintained the order dated 23.09.2016 passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class
Mandleshwar in Criminal Case No.49/2016
wherein learned Judicial Magistrate First Class had rejected the applicant's application filed under Section 91 of Cr.P.C.[2] Brief facts of the case which are relevant to this petition are that
respondent/complainant filed a private complaint before Judicial Magistrate First Class
Mandleshwar under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act against the applicant for dishonor of cheque averting that petitioner and respondent were known to each other and out of that friendship when petitioner was in need of money
respondent gave Rs.20
0
000/- to him.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 cheque given by the petitioner was presented by the respondent in his bank
the same was returned by the petitioner's Bank due to insufficient funds.So action be taken against applicant.[3] During trial of the case applicant filed an application under Section 91 of Cr.P.C. averting that though respondent had filed a criminal complaint against the applicant for dishonor of cheque amounting to Rs.20
0
000/- but he did not file any documentary evidence regarding that amount so respondent be directed to file all documents relating to his income
expenditure and income tax return.In his reply respondent opposed the prayer.Learned Judicial Magistrate by order dated 23.09.2016 rejected that application observing that application filed by the applicant under Section 91 of Cr.P.C.was not maintainable at that stage against which applicant filed Cr.R.No.111/2016
which was dismissed by order dated 15.02.2017 passed by the Additional Judge to the court of First Additional Sessions Judge
West Nimar
Mandleshwar observing that the impugned order was an interim order against which the Revision is not maintainable.Being aggrieved from that order applicant has filed this petition.[4] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that respondent/complainant filed a private complaint against the petitioner averting that respondent gave Rs.20
0
000/- to the petitioner.In order to discharge the said liability
a cheque bearing No.185939 of Bank of India
Branch - Mandleshwar
was given by the petitioner to the respondent.When the said cheque was presented by the respondent in his bank
the same was returned by the petitioner's Bank due to insufficient funds.Applicant wants to cross-examine the respondent on the point that whether respondent actually has the capacity to give Rs.20
0
000/- to the applicant for which documents regarding income and expenditure and his income tax return are required.so they be called from the applicant.Learned trial court committed mistake in rejecting his application.[5] It appears from the record that respondent/complainant filed a private complaint against the applicant averting that applicant took Rs.20
0
000/- from him and to discharge the said liability
a cheque bearing No.185939 of Bank of India
Branch - Mandleshwar
was given by the petitioner to the respondent.So prima facie burden for proving this fact lies on respondent and what documents he wish to file to prove this fact depends upon his will.In his application applicant has not mentioned the year/years for which he sought respondent's income tax return and regarding what documents or for what period he wants income and expenditure details of respondent.His application is vague
so learned trial court did not commit any mistake in rejecting the applicant's application.Hence
petition is dismissed.(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns F.A.No.132/2016 01.03.2017 Shri Deepak Rawal

applicant filed a private complaint against the respondent before the J.M.F.C.
Mahidpur
Ujjain averting that marriage of his daughter Heena was solemnized with respondent Firoz on 09.02.2013 at Mahidpur.In the marriage he gave jewellery
cloths
electric goods
almirah
fridge
T.V.
washing machine
a cooler and other home appliances worth Rs.3
50
000/- to his daughter.On 20.04.2013
respondent Firoz gave divorce to his daughter Heena but he did not return the aforesaid house-hold goods
which he gave to his daughter as dowry at the time of marriage.That Revision was disposed of by the learned Additional Sessions Judge
Mahidpur by order dated 12.05.2015 wherein it set aside the trial court's order observing that applicant's daughter Heena voluntarily left her matrimonial house in the night of 19.03.2013 and she clearly admitted in a letter that she does not want to live with respondent Firoz.She wanted to live with Nilesh Suryawanshi and also admitted that respondent Firoz Khan had voluntarily given divorce to her and she had received all house-hold goods which were given by her father as dowry.So offence under Section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act is not made out against the respondent.Being aggrieved with that order applicant filed this petition.[3] Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that at P.S. 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. No.224/2017 28.01.2017 Shri Vivek Singh

he threatened to kill her.The appellant filed Bail Application No.16/2017 under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. for getting bail.Learned Special Judge/Additional Sessions Judge
Jhabua rejected that application.Being aggrieved appellant filed this Criminal Appeal.[3] Learned counsel for the appellant submitted that complainant is major and she is a consenting party.She has wrongly lodged the report against the appellant.Appellant has falsely been implicated in the crime.Charge-sheet has been filed.The appellant is in custody since 25.01.2017 and conclusion of trial will take time
hence
counsel prayed for grant of bail.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent/State and complainant/prosecutrix opposed the prayer made by the appellant and submitted that complainant was minor at the time of starting of the incident and that appellant sexually exploited her for last two years on the pretext of marriage and pray for rejection.[5] Looking to the fact that charge-sheet has been filed and appellant is in jail since 25.01.2017 and conclusion of trial will take time and that on the date of lodging report prosecutrix was major so without commenting on merits
the appeal is allowed.It is directed that the appellant be released on bail on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs.50
000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) with one solvent surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court.[6] This order will remain operative subject to compliance of the following conditions by the appellant :-The appellant will comply with all the terms and conditions of the bond executed by him;The appellant will cooperate in the investigation/trial

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

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 complainant.This criminal appeal has been filed under Section 14-A of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act against the order dated 16.01.2017 passed by Special Judge
SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act District - Rajgarh
in Criminal Case No.13/2017
whereby learned Judge rejected the bail application filed by the appellant Gopal S/o Shankarlal Jat under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. to get anticipatory bail in Crime No.184/2016 registered at Police Station - Malawar
District - Rajagarh for the offence under Section 376
294 and 506 of IPC & Section 3(1)(B)(2)
3(2)(5) of SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act (further refer as ""Act"").[2] As per prosecution story
on 30.08.2016
prosecutrix lodged a written complaint at Police Station A.J.K.
Bhopal averting that appellant Gopal is threatening her since 1 years and keeps asking her to come to his field otherwise he would kill her husband.In the month of August
2016 four days before Rakhi between 12.00 p.m. to 1.00 p.m.
when she went in Gopal's field for taking kanda (dung cake) Gopal caught her and raped her and threatened to kill her if she narrated the incident to anybody.She narrated the incident to her husband
who asked Gopal as to why he raped his wife
on which Gopal abused them and also tried to kill her husband.On this Police of P.S. 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.13/2017 the present appellant namely Gopal Jat S/o Shankarlal Jat be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50
000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand Only) with one solvent surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Special Judge

learned counsel for the applicant.None present for the respondent.This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure against the order dated 23.09.2016 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge
Indore in Cr.R.No.619/2016
whereby he affirmed the order dated 04.08.2016 passed by the Judicial Magistrate First Class
Indore in Cr.M.J.C. 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

Jaora
Link Court
Alote in S.T.No.119/2015
whereby he framed the charge against respondents under Section 306 of IPC.[2] Brief facts of this case are that on 22.09.2014 deceased Firoz Khan committed suicide in his house situated at Alote
District Ratlam.On the information Police registered merg No.31/14 under Section 174 of Cr.P.C..During investigation it was found that applicant no. 1 and 2
are the parents in law of deceased and applicant no.3 is the wife of the deceased.she is also having one daughter Roshni aged 3 years.Due to some dispute between applicant no3 and deceased their matrimonial life got strained.So applicant no. 2 came to deceased's house at Alot and took applicant No. 3 and her daughter Roshni with him.He also left a suicide note.On that basis Police Alote registered Crime No.1403/2014 for the offence under Section 306/34 of IPC against the applicant.During investigation of crime Police recorded statement of family members of the deceased and after investigation Police filed charge-sheet against the applicant for the offence under Section 306 of IPC.On that charge-sheet ST No.119/2015 was registered in the trial court and learned Second A.S.J.
Link Court
Alote
District Ratlam framed the charge against applicant under Section 306 of IPC.From the statements of witnesses produced by the Police along with charge-sheet
only allegation against the applicants was that applicant No.3 wanted deceased to live with her parents at their house.Firoz committed suicide because applicant No.2 took his wife applicant No.3 and daughter with him to their house since deceased Firoz was unable to maintain his family.On that count deceased Firoz committed suicide.Applicant No.2 took applicant No.3 and her daughter Nine or Ten days before the incident.[7] In the matter of Babbi @ Jitendra V/s.Merely on the allegation of harassment without their being any positive action proximate to the time of occurrence on the part of the accused which led or compelled the person to commit suicide
conviction in terms of section 306 IPC is not sustainable.""[10] So in the considered opinion of this court evidence collected against the applicants by the prosecution are totally insufficient to infer that the applicants abetted for suicide
they may be cause for the suicide but not the abetted.Resultant
the petition is hereby allowed.The impugned order framing charge against the applicants for the offence under Section 306 of Indian Penal Code deserves to be set aside.On the said refusal the applicant beat and threatened her.Then on 09.01.2013 she lodged the report at Mahila Thana
Indore against the applicant.On that report Police Station Mahila Thana
Indore registered Crime No.2/2013 for the offence under Section 498-A
294 and 506 of IPC.After investigation Police filed charge-sheet against the applicant.On that charge-sheet Criminal Case No.2130/2013 was registered before the J.M.F.C.
Indore and J.M.F.C.
Indore framed charges under Section 498A of the IPC against the applicant and tried the matter.The case is pending for evidence before the trial court.Respondent did love marriage with applicnt and after marriage she never resided with the applicant.From the very same day she returned to Satwas.Before that report respondent also filed a report in Police Station Mahila Thana
Indore averting that applicant solemnized temporary marriage with her and soon after the marriage applicant left her.She had lived with applicant only three hours after marriage then applicant left her.So there is no question of applicant's demanding money or torturing the respondent.The FIR lodged by the respondent is false.[4] Learned counsel for the respondent submitted that from the FIR prima facie case under Section 498A of the IPC is made out.On the charge-sheet learned trial court prima facie found that offence under Section 498A
506 and 294 of IPC is made out and framed the charge against the applicant for those offences.So there is no question of quashment of criminal case.The respondent filed another application before the Mahila Thana averting that she only lived with the applicant for three hours after marriage is not a part of charge-sheet under which circumstances
that application is filed
is a matter of evidence.The application filed by the applicant along with petition is not a part of charge-sheet.The extraordinary or inherent powers do not confer an arbitrary jurisdiction on the court to act according to its whim or caprice.The court will not be justified in embarking upon an enquiry as to the reliability or genuineness or otherwise of the allegations made in the FIR or the complaint.The following categories of cases can be stated by way of illustration wherein the extraordinary power under Article 226 or the inherent powers under Section 482 CrPC can be exercised by the High Court either to prevent abuse of the process of any court or otherwise to secure the ends of justice
though it may not be possible to lay down any precise
clearly defined and sufficiently channelised and inflexible guidelines or rigid formulae and to give an exhaustive list of myriad kinds of cases wherein such power should be exercised :(Rajeev Kumar Dubey) Judge ns C.R.No.218/2012 14.02.2017 Shri Prateek Maheshwari

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 applicant.This Criminal Revision has been filed under Section 19(4) 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

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

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

Mandleshwar whereby he rejected applicant's application to pay the amount of Rs.57
375/- in cash which was kept by the Tribunal in Fixed Deposit in the name of the applicant in the Nationalized Bank.[2] Brief facts of this case are that applicant and other person filed the Claim Case No.3/2012 before the Trial Court in which the Trial Court awarded him Rs.4

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

On 19.08.1990, the appellant Chat Pal was found wearing one HMT Supria wrist watch on his wrist.However, we find that Exhibit PW21/B, which is the personal search memo of the very same appellant Chat Pal, does not mention any watch being recovered on the personal search being conducted.Exhibit PW21/G, which is a seizure memo, indicates that Narain was wearing the HMT watch on his left wrist, but Exhibit PW21/A, which is the personal search memo, does not mention any watch and only a sum of ` 20/- is said to have been found on the person of the appellant Narain.Here again, the witnesses of the seizure memo and the personal search memo are the same, namely, SI Ram Kanwar and HC Surender Singh.Similarly, in the case of the appellant Chet Ram, we find that the seizure memo Exhibit PW22/E mentions a gold ring with the words Darshan Lal engraved on it as well as a rexine purse containing ` 550/-.It is also mentioned in the seizure memo that the gold ring was worn by Chet Ram on the ring finger of his left hand.However, Exhibit PW22/A, which is the personal search memo of the same date, that is, 30.07.1990, has only a reference to a sum of ` 17/- in cash plus one bus ticket worth ` 20/- and one dagger.It is, therefore, clear that the personal search memo is at complete variance with the seizure memo in the case of Chet Ram also as in the case of Chat Pal and Narain.AND + CRL.A. 332/1997 CHET RAM ... Appellant versus STATE ... Respondent AND + CRL.A 236/1998 NARAIN ... Appellant versus STATE ... Respondent Advocates who appeared in this case:For the Appellants : Mr Ajay Verma with Mr Gaurav Bhattacharya For the Respondent/State : Ms Richa Kapur CORAM:-HON'BLE MR JUSTICE BADAR DURREZ AHMED HON'BLE MR JUSTICE MANMOHAN SINGHWhether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment?2. To be referred to the Reporter or not?Whether the judgment should be reported in Digest? Yes BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J (ORAL)These three appeals are being disposed of together by a common judgment inasmuch as they arise out of the same FIR and are directed against the common judgment dated 10.07.1997 passed by the CRL.The three appellants, namely, Chet Ram, Chat Pal @ Sat Pal and Narain along with Chakori Lal were charged under Sections 120B, 302 read with 120B, 392 read with 120B IPC.However, the Trial Court acquitted Chakori Lal of all charges.We may also point out that when the charge-sheet was filed, one Lakhan Pal was also named as an accused but he passed away before the framing of charges.The appellant Chet Ram, Narain and Chat Pal were also charged in the alternative under Sections 302 read with 34, 392 read with 34 and 394 IPC.By virtue of the impugned judgment, the appellants Chet Ram, Narain and Chat Pal @ Satpal have been convicted for having committed the offences under Sections 302 read with 34, 392 read with 34 and 394 IPC.All the three accused were awarded a sentence of rigorous imprisonment for five years and a fine of ` 1,000/- each for the offence under Section 392 read with 34 IPC and in default of payment of the fine, the appellants were also required to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for one year.In respect of the offence under Section 394/34 IPC, each of the appellants were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for seven years as well as were liable to pay a fine of ` 2,000/- and in default whereof, they were to undergo rigorous imprisonment for two years.With regard to the offence under Section CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.2 of 20 302 read with 34 IPC, each of the appellants were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life and also to pay a fine of ` 5,000/- each and in default of payment thereof to further undergo rigorous imprisonment for three years.The benefit of Section 428 Cr.P.C was to be given to the appellants and their sentences were to run concurrently.The appellants have been convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence.In the alleged incident, which is said to have taken place on 23.07.1990, Smt. Kamla Kakkar was found dead in her house by her daughter PW1 Renuka Sethi at about 1:45 pm.It is on the basis of her statement Exhibit PW1/A that the ruqqa and subsequently the FIR was registered.The case of the prosecution was that the appellants along with Chakori Lal (since acquitted) and Lakhan Pal (since deceased) were doing some construction work at the residence of the said Smt. Kamla Kakkar and that with the intention of committing robbery, they committed the murder of Smt. Kamla Kakkar, who was alone in the house when the incident took place.The prosecution has sought to bring home the conviction on the basis of the testimonies of PW5 Darshan Lal Kakkar, PW10 Rakesh Kakkar, PW1 Renuka Sethi and PW4 Surjeet Kaur (Chawla).Apart from the testimonies of these witnesses, the prosecution has also sought to prove its case by virtue of the alleged recoveries made from the appellants.It is alleged that one CRL. A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.3 of 20 HMT watch of Supria make was recovered from Chat Pal; one gold ring, which had Darshan Lal engraved in it, was allegedly recovered from Chet Ram and one HMT gold-plated stainless steel watch was said to have been recovered from the appellant Narain.On the basis of the testimonies of PW5 and PW10, which were regarded as the last seen evidence and on the basis of the supporting and corroborative testimonies of PW1 Renuka Sethi and PW4 Smt. Surjit Kaur as well as on the basis of the alleged recoveries made from the said appellants, the prosecution has attempted to bring home the guilt of the said appellants in the said offence.Only a sum of ` 20/- is said to have recovered at the time of the conduct of the personal search.The witnesses of the seizure memo Exhibit PW21/E and the personal search memo Exhibit PW21/B are the same, namely, SI Ram Kanwar and HC Surender Singh.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.4 of 20 Therefore, we are in agreement with the submission made by the learned counsel for the appellants that the recovery of the said watch becomes very doubtful.While the seizure memo says that he was wearing the watch, the personal search memo does not disclose any watch.The CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.5 of 20 witnesses to the seizure memo in the case of Chet Ram as also the personal search memo were also the same, namely, SI Manohar Lal and SI Ram Kanwar.Considering the aforesaid contradictions between the seizure memo and the personal search memo, as also the fact that the said articles were not recovered pursuant to any disclosure but were alleged to have been found on the persons of the appellants, we feel that no reliance can be placed on the said recoveries as they appear to be extremely doubtful.Consequently, the question of identification of these articles at the instance of PW5 Darshan Lal Kakkar is also of no relevance.This leaves us with the testimonies of PW5, Darshan Lal Kakkar and PW10 Rakesh Kakkar, who have been produced in the witness box as the last seen witnesses.PW5 Darshan Lal Kkkar in his testimony has clearly stated that work had been going on at his flat and one Chakori Lal had been fetched by his son Rakesh Kakkar and work had been done for about eight days.Chakori Lal had brought the other accused for the purposes of the said construction work and it was Chakori Lal who had supervised the work.However, since rains had started, the work had been discontinued.He further testified that about four days prior to 23.07.1990, at the instance of Chat Pal, work was resumed under the said flat.He stated that on that day at about 10:30 CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.6 of 20 am, Chat Pal @ Satpal had come to his flat and had told him that he could get the work completed otherwise they would be going to their village.The witness further stated that considering the fact that these persons were already known to him, he thought it better to get the work completed from them and as such, he told Chat Pal @ Sat Pal to bring his labour and to complete the job.At about 11 am, Chat Pal brought with him Narain, Lakhan Pal and Chet Ram and they started doing their work in his flat.He further stated that soon thereafter, Chakori Lal also came to his flat and after talking to Chat Pal, Narain, Chet Ram and Lakhan Pal went away.He stated that thereafter, he also left his flat leaving Chat Pal, Narain, Chet Ram and Lakhan Pal at his premises besides his wife Kamla Kakkar and his son Rakesh Kakkar, who was also present at the flat.He had left his flat to attend his work at Patiala House.The witness also stated that on the same day, that is, on 23.07.1990 in the afternoon, he received information that his wife Kamla had been murdered.PW10 Rakesh Kakkar had corroborated whatever had been stated by his father PW5 Darhsan Lal Kakkar.He further stated that he remained in his house up to 11:45 am on 23.07.1990 and that his father remained in the house up to 11:30 am and then went to Patiala House Courts.After 11:45 am, he left the house and went to attend his job.He returned at 3 pm and at that point of time he saw a crowd had CRL.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.7 of 20 collected outside the house as well as inside and his sister Renuka Sethi met him there.He stated categorically in his examination-in-chief that when he left his house at 11:45 am, then, only his mother was in the house and the accused persons were working there.He stated that when he returned to the house at 3 pm his sister told him that their mother had expired and the police had taken her to hospital in a vehicle.In cross-examination, this witness, however, stated that he had not stated to the police that when he left his house at 11:45 am on the day of occurrence, then only his mother was in the house and the accused persons were working there.The learned counsel for the appellants sought to infer from this statement made in cross- examination that PW10 Rakesh Kakkar had made improvements in his statement before Court.However, we do not feel that such an inference can be drawn.The testimonies of PW5 and PW10 have to be read in conjunction and once that is done, it is apparent that the prosecution has been able to establish that on 23.07.1990 the appellants along with Lakhan Pal had started work at the flat of the deceased and that till 11:30 am on that date, both PW5 and PW10 along with Smt. Kamla Kakkar and the accused persons were present in the flat.At 11:30 am, PW5 Darshan Lal Kakkar left the flat to attend his work at Patiala House Courts and that at 11:45 am, PW10 Rakesh Kakkar also left the flat leaving his mother alone with the accused persons who were doing construction work in the said flat.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.8 of 20 PW10 is the witness who last saw his mother alive and at that point of time, she was alone in the flat in the company of the accused persons who were doing construction work.The next important witness is PW1 Renuka Sethi, who stated that as usual she used to have lunch with her mother at the said flat.She reached there at 1:45 pm and found her mother to be dead.At that point of time, she became hysterical and raised an alarm whereupon, PW4 Smt. Surjeet Kaur also known as Smt. Chawla, who was residing in the ground floor, had apparently told her that Sat Pal and two others had come to the said flat.Although this part of the testimony is hearsay and no reliance can be placed thereon, it is clear that when PW1 Renuka Sethi arrived at the flat at 1:45 pm, her mother was dead.The time gap between Smt. Kamla Kakkar having been seen alive and when she was found dead was 11:45 am to 1:45 pm, which is only a period of two hours.When she was alive, Smt. Kamla Kakkar was in the flat along with the appellants, who were working there.The said appellants were supposed to work for the whole day but, when an opportunity was given to them under Section 313, Cr. P. C, they have not given any explanation as to why they were absent when PW1 Renuka Sethi arrived at the flat at 1:45 pm.In fact, each of the appellants has given a blank denial to all the circumstances which were put to them in the course of their making their Section 313 statements.A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.9 of 20Coupled with this very important circumstance of the last seen evidence, is the fact that each of the appellants was absconding after the said incident.All of them, as mentioned above, refused the Test Identification Parade.In view of the foregoing, we do not find any fault with the decision of the trial court in returning a finding of guilt insofar as the appellants Chet Ram, Narain and Chat Pal @ Sat Pal are concerned.They have been rightly convicted under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC.The matter, however, does not end here.We find that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal had made a plea that he was a juvenile before the trial court.Unfortunately, that plea got lost in the records of the trial and no finding was returned by the trial court, although the ossification report clearly suggested that he was only 14-15 years old.The order-sheet reveals that on 21.01.1991, as no report had been received, the Learned Additional Sessions Judge directed the Superintendent, Tihar to appear before the CRL.On 04.03.1991, the complainant had filed an application stating that the X-ray report should not be accepted and a prayer was made that the appellant Chat Pal be referred to the Board of some government hospital.The order dated 11.11.1991 records the factum of an application of treating Chat Pal as a juvenile.Then, we have an application of the Jail Superintendent dated 22.03.1996 stating that Chat Pal has been behaving abnormally and has become mentally upset and even had attempted committing suicide.A prayer was made that in case he committed or attempted to commit suicide, then the jail administration shall be placed in an embarrassing position.In the meanwhile, we find from the lower court record, that on 22.02.1991, Dr B. K. Dey, Medical Officer, Central Jail, Tihar, New Delhi had submitted a report with reference to the letter dated 05.01.1991 regarding age estimation of the appellant Chat Pal.It was returned that his age was between 14-15 years on 23.01.1992 according to the Department of Forensic Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi conducted by Dr S. K. Khanna No. 32/91 dated 23.01.1991 at 12:30 pm.The age estimation report from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi, Department of Forensic Medicine, dated 23.01.1991 is also on record and the opinion clearly CRL. A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.11 of 20 shows that based on physical, dental and radiological findings, when taken together, the age of the person examined (Chat Pal) was between 14 and 15 years.It is, therefore, abundantly clear that as on 23.01.1991 Chat Pal was 14-15 years old, which would make him 13-14 years old on 23.07.1990, which is the date of the occurrence.Clearly, Chat Pal was a juvenile within the definition of Section 2(k) of the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000 (hereinafter referred to as the said Act).When the said Act come into force, the impugned judgment and order on sentence had already been delivered / passed.Consequently, Section 20 of the said Act would be relevant for our purposes.Section 20, as amended up to date, reads as under:-Special provision in respect of pending cases.- Notwithstanding anything contained in this Act, all proceedings in respect of a juvenile pending in any court in any area on the date on which this Act comes into force in that area, shall be continued in that court as if this Act had not been passed and if the court finds that the juvenile has committed an offence, it shall record such finding and instead of passing any sentence in respect of the juvenile, forward the juvenile to the Board which shall pass orders in respect of that juvenile in accordance with the provisions of this Act as if it had been satisfied on inquiry under this Act that a juvenile has committed the offence.Provided that the Board may, for any adequate and special reason to be mentioned in the order, review the case and pass appropriate order in the interest of such juvenile.It is, therefore, clear that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal, being a juvenile in conflict with law, could have, in the maximum, suffered a detention for a period of three years only.But, from the nominal roll on record of the appellant Chat Pal, it appears that as on 02.03.2002, he had already been in custody for a period of 11 years, six months and 23 days and had also earned remission of 1 year, 4 months and 26 days.But, as he could not arrange for the surety, an application, being Crl.By an order dated 21.02.2003, the surety amount was reduced to ` 10,000/- and the requirement of the number of sureties was also reduced to one.Despite this, as the appellant Chat Pal @ Sat Pal was extremely poor, he could not arrange for the surety and moved another application, being Crl.M. A. 3178/2003, for modification of the said order dated 21.02.2003 for further reduction in the surety amount.This application was allowed by an order dated 19.12.2003 and the surety amount was reduced to ` 5,000/-.As the appellant Chat Pal @ Sat Pal was not being able to arrange even a surety of ` 5,000/-, CRL. A. Nos.471/97, 332/97& 236/98 Page No.17 of 20 an application, being Crl.M. A. 5875/2004 had been moved for reducing the surety amount to ` 1000/-.Unfortunately, this fact was not brought to the notice of the Court on 19.07.2004 when the Crl.M.A. 5875/2004 came up for hearing.On that day, the Court, however, rejected the application for any further reduction in the surety.This is when Chat Pal @ Sat Pal could not have been kept in detention for a period of more than three years by virtue of the provisions of the said Act. Consequently, while we uphold the finding that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal had committed the offence under Section 302/34 IPC, the sentence awarded to him is set aside.Since he could not have been kept in detention for a period of more than three years and because he has already been in custody for 13 years, 10 months and 27 days, Chat Pal @ Sat Pal cannot be kept in detention any further.He is to be set at liberty.In this case, an application had been moved claiming that Chat Pal @ Sat Pal was a juvenile and, in fact, the medical report was also available on record, but the trial court, unfortunately, did not pursue the matter any further.This sort of an attitude would result in a great travesty of justice.This Court had, by its order dated 21.04.2010, directed the concerned Additional Sessions Judge to initiate proceedings against all the three appellants as also proceedings under Section 446 Cr.P.C. against the sureties.In so far as the appellant Chat Pal @ Sat Pal is concerned, those proceedings are to be dropped.However, the same would continue in respect of the other two appellants so that they are apprehended and they are made to serve out the rest of their sentences.The appeals are decided accordingly.BADAR DURREZ AHMED, J MANMOHAN SINGH, J FEBRUARY 10, 2011 SR/P CRL.

The Petitioner in the first petition is a Senior Inspector of Police and at the time of the filing of the petition was attached to Thane Railway Police Station.He joined the Maharashtra police in 1975 as Police Sub-Inspector.Thereafter, his services were made over to Bombay police in 1977 on the same post.It is the case of the petitioner, that, he had a successful career of 27 years of Police service.The same is clean and unblemished.It is alleged that one Altaf Kadir Shaikh had purchased Shop No. 1, 63/65, Sayed House, Cadel Road, Mahim, Mumbai-16 in October 1999 from one Khalid Ahmed Basekhan.In June, 2000 one Iqbal claimed rights in his shop and alongwith Khalid Ahmed Basekhan started harassing and threatening Altaf Kadir Shaikh.Altaf Kadir Shaikh also received threats from unknown persons.He lodged a N.C. at Mahim Police Station.The complainant Ahmed Ismail Shaikh @ Raja Shaikh was helping the complainant Altaf and therefore he also received threats.On 16.7.2000 at 19.00 hrs the complainant Ahmed alongwith Altaf Shaikh attended the Mahim Police Station and as per the instructions of P.I.Shri Sanghai, PSI Shinde recorded the statement of Altaf Shaikh.The Complainant came to know that an offence has been registered at Mahim Police Station against him and three others.PSI Rajendra Naghbire had registered at Mahim police station, C.R. No. 230 of 2000 under Section 454, 457, 380, 451, 506(II), 34, 120(B), I.P.C. r/w. 23, 25 Arms Act on complaint of Shri.The further investigation of this case was handed over to P.I.Sanghai as per the orders of Sr.P.L.Jedhe of Mahim Police Station.After confirmation on 20.7.2000 at 16.30 hrs, the complainant alongwith Altaf Shaikh met D.C.P. Zone IV, Mumbai Shri Kadam and informed him about the offence registered against them and submitted representation to DCP Zone IV.On the same day at 19.00 hrs the complainant met P.I. Shri Sanghai at Mahim police Station, P.I. Sanghai called PSI Shinde.At that time P.I. Sanghai told the complainant that Altaf Shaikh would not get the shop valued Rs. 40,00,000/ so easily.In order to avoid arrest of complainant, Altaf Shaikh and 2 others, an amount Rs. 20,00,000/ be paid as bribe.After discussion the bribe amount was reduced to 10,00,000/-.The complainant showed his inability to pay the bribe amount.The facts are undisputed.JUDGMENT S.C. Dharmadhikari, J.Both petitions involve identical questions of fact and law and were heard together.They are being disposed off by this common judgment.It is directed against an order dated 7.5.2002 passed in Miscellaneous Application No. 7 of 2002 by Special Judge Mumbai in Complaint ACB/BMU Criminal No. 29 of 2000 and the Sanction Order dated 6.12.2002 passed by the Additional Director General of Police (Law & Order), Mumbai.Therefore, PSI Shinde told the complainant to come after 2-3 days.At 19.30 hrs the complainant was produced before Sr.P.I.Shri Jedhe.The complainant has stated that Sr.P.I.Jedhe told the complainant that his work will be done and he will have to pay the amount as per the say of PI Sanghai and the complainant was allowed to go.When the complainant attended Mahim Police Station on 25.7.2000 at 19.00 hrs as per the call from PSI Shinde, he met PI Sanghai.Thereafter PSI Shinde was called by P.I. Sanghai.P.I. Sanghai then demanded Rs. 10,00,000/- for not arresting the complainant and others.The complainant accompanied by panch witness Shri Dhumal met P.I. Sanghai at Main gate of Mahim Police Station at 18.25 hrs.At that time P.I. Sanghai asked for amount of Rs. 10,00,000/-.Over this the complainant told that he will pay Rs. 3,00,000/-after taking the same from Shri Dhumal, who is his relative.The complainant was asked to wait till the arrival of PSI Shinde.Thus, it is alleged that on 26th July, 2000 at about 6.00 p.m. Shri Sanghai (Petitioner in first petition) attempted to obtain a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs for himself and on behalf of the Petitioner in the second petition from the Complainant as gratification other than legal remuneration as a motive or reward for doing or for bearing to do official Acts or for showing favour or for bearing to show disfavour in exercise of their official functions to the Complainant in the matter of not arresting him and others in an offence registered against him at Mahim Police Station.I.P.C. r/w. 3, 25 Arms Act.On 27.7.2000 the Petitioner was arrested but was released on bail on the following day as per the order of the court.During the course of the investigation, statements of various persons were recorded.A draft sanction order was sent to the Competent Authority for getting sanction to prosecute the Petitioner Accused and one P.S.I.Shinde.However, the Learned Special Judge while rejecting this Application observed that the matter be referred to the Sanctioning Authority for Re-consideration.The Special Judge directed that after the Sanctioning Authority takes necessary steps, the A.C.B can approach the Special Court.The order passed on 7.5.2002 and the subsequent act of the Sanctioning Authority of grant of sanction is under challenge in this petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Article 227 of the Constitution of India.The second Writ Petition is by co-accused Dilip Shinde and the facts and circumstances narrated therein are identical.After making such observations, the Special Judge rejected the application of the prosecution and referred the matter back for reconsideration of the Sanctioning Authority.Thus, the Special Judge granted one opportunity to the Authority to consider the matter of sanction afresh.The Sanctioning Authority has reconsidered the whole matter and accorded sanction for prosecution of the petitioners before me.I have perused the application which was preferred by the prosecution before the Special Judge.The petitioner did not make any application before the Special Judge but the prosecution applied for closure of the case.On the prosecutions application the Learned Judge made the observations as above and rejected the same.The Learned Judge only referred the matter for reconsideration of the Sanctioning Authority.The other argument is that the Special Judge did not grant any opportunity to the petitioners before observing that the matter deserves to be referred back for reconsideration of the Sanctioning Authority.In my view, the Learned Judge was considering the application of the prosecution for closure of the said case/proceedings therein.

The material facts, which are relevant for the disposal of this Criminal Original Petition, are as follows:-The Petitioners are the Secondary Grade Teachers, working in the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Thiruvennainallur, Villupuram District.The 2nd Petitioner worked in the said School from 28.7.2004 to 13.9.2005 as a Science Teacher and he has been transferred and posted at Kumanantholu in Andipatti Taluk, Theni District.This Criminal Original Petition is filed to call for the records in PRC.No.1/2006 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate II, Ulundurpet and quash the same.The 1st Petitioner is working in the same School.On 14.7.2005 at about 12.15 p.m., one Rani, Anganvadi Teacher reported to the Teachers that some one had taken a sum of Rs.1200/- from her bag, which was kept in the Balvadi Class and suspected that some of the students of the IX Standard A of the School, who visited the Anganvadi, might have stolen the money.Accordingly, the Petitioners called for those students and their bags were searched.A few minutes thereafter, a student by name Udaya alias Saranya, the deceased herein gave Rs.100/- to the Petitioners, claiming that the said amount was found in the bag of one Kavitha, a co-student.Thereafter, Udaya @ Saranya and six other students were taken to the male staff room and they were enquired by the lady teachers.At that time, Udaya @ Saranya took Rs.600/- from her Churidhar pocket and handed over the same to the Petitioners.Another amount of Rs.500/- was also handed over by Udaya @ Saranya to one Jayanthi, PET Teacher.After, the said incident, the deceased Udaya @ Saranya was in the School during lunch period and attended the post session classes and left the School at 4.20 pm.Thereafter, on an enquiry, the Petitioners had come to know that Udaya @ Saranya had immolated herself and was taken to the Government Hospital at Villupuram, where she had given a dying declaration to the Judicial Magistrate, stating that since the Petitioners scolded her that she had stolen the money and the 2nd Petitioner remarked to her to go and die and as she was so ashamed, she had immolated herself.On the complaint given by the father of the deceased girl, FIR was registered in Cr.Later the deceased died on 16.7.2005 and the offence was altered into one under Section 306 of IPC and the Petitioners have been arrayed as the accused.According to him, the conduct of the Petitioners was very natural, as any prudent man would only try to find out as to who has stolen the money and the real fact is that the deceased girl had stolen the money and the same was exposed before the other students, which had led her to commit suicide.

MANMOHAN, J :The present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. for setting aside the order dated 13th October, 2006 passed by Ms. Reena Singh Nag, Additional District & Sessions Judge, Delhi, whereby the revision petition filed by the Respondent-CBI has been allowed and the order of the Metropolitan Magistrate dated 17th November, 2004 has been set aside.M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 1 of 11M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 1 of 11Briefly stated, the fact of this case are that on 24th February, 1998 CBI registered a case bearing RC No. 4(S)98/SIU.I.After hearing the matter on various dates, the learned trial court on 1st June, 2001 framed charges against the Petitioner under Section 120B, 419 and 420 IPC read with Sections 120B, 468 IPC read with Section 120B, 471 IPC read with Section 120B, 511 IPC.By this order no charges were framed against the Petitioner under Section 120B read with Section 465, 467, 474 and 380 read with Section 411 of IPC and Section 12(1)(a) and (b) read with Section 3 of Passports Act. However, no reasons for not framing certain charges were given.The order dated 1st June, 2001 is reproduced hereinbelow:-"Present : PP for CBI Both accused on Bail with counsel.Arguments on the point of sentence heard.Prima facie case is made out against both the accused for offence under Section 120B IPC, 419, 420 r/w section 120B IPC, 468 r/w section 120B IPC, 471 r/w section 120B IPC, 511 r/w section 419, 420 r/w section 120B IPC and accordingly charge framed to which accused pleaded not guilty.To come for PE for 8.8.2001, 9.8.2001 and 10.8.2001 Sd/-M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 2 of 11On 6th August, 2001 the Petitioner filed a Revision Petition bearing CR (R) No. 29/2001 in the Court of Additional Sessions Judge against the order dated 1st June, 2001 framing charges against the Petitioner- Accused.Before receiving any notice of Petitioner's revision petition, on 8th August, 2001, which was the next date of hearing before the trial court, CBI filed two applications.While the first application was filed to place on record some documents, the second application was filed under Section 216 Cr.P.C. contending that the trial court had inadvertently not framed charges against the Petitioner under Section 120B read with Sections 465, 467, 474, 380 and 411 of IPC and Sections 12(1)(a) and (b) read with Section 3 of PassportsWhile the application under Section 216 Cr.The Additional Sessions Judge in its judgment and order dated 7th January, 2003 concluded that the trial court had rightly found a prima facie case against the Petitioner-Accused for the offences for which he had been charged.On 17th November, 2004 the trial court dismissed the CBI's application filed under Section 216 Cr.While setting aside the order dated 17th November, 2004 the Additional Sessions Judge directed the trial court to pass a reasoned order on CBI's application under Section 216 Cr.Mr. Ajay Burman, learned Counsel for Petitioner has contended that for the Sections for which the Petitioner has been discharged vide order Crl.M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 4 of 11 dated 1st June, 2001, no application under Section 216 Cr.P.C. was maintainable as the order framing charges had attained finality.P.C., the order framing charges dated 1st June, 2001 had attained finality.He further submitted that in case CBI was aggrieved by the order framing charges dated 1st June, 2001 the only recourse open to it was to file a revision against the said order - which it had failed to do so till date.M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 4 of 11He further pointed out that by the impugned order dated 13th October, 2006, the Additional Sessions Judge had revised the initial order framing charges.Having heard the parties and having perused the file, I am of the opinion that the initial order dated 1st June, 2001, by virtue of which the charges have been framed, is a non-reasoned and non-speaking order.The said order records that arguments on the point of sentence have been heard.A perusal of the first revisional order dated 7th January, 2003 clearly shows that the said court only applied its mind to the offences for Crl.M.C. No. 269/2007 Page 10 of 11 which the Petitioner had been charged.Moreover, in my opinion, no prejudice has been caused to the Petitioner by the impugned order as evidence in the present case is yet to be recorded and the Petitioner would have full opportunity of meeting the charges and putting forward any defence open to him on the charges preferred against him.Therefore, the present Writ Petition is dismissed but with no order as to costs.MANMOHAN, J September 12, 2008 rn Crl.

Karpagavinayagam, J.Samsu alias Samsudeen, the appellant in Crl.A.No.401 of 2000 and Sarafudeen and Hakkim alias Abdul Hakkim, the appellants in Crl.They have filed these two appeals, seeking to set aside the judgment of conviction imposed on them by the trial Court for the offence under Section 302 IPC and sentence to undergo life imprisonment each.Short facts leading to conviction are as follows:(a) Two days prior to the date of occurrence, one Constable Selvaraj was done to death by some Muslim fundamentalists.In retaliation, the Muslim people were attacked and there was a law and order problem throughout the area.The Police also announced that public should not come out, in view of the said law and order problem.(b) On the date of occurrence, i.e. on 1.12.1997, the deceased Ramasamy, along with his wife, P.W.2 Parvathamani, went to the Government Sewerage Farm to cut grass.P.W.1 Subramanian, the elder brother of the deceased, was working as an employee in the Municipality.After the work was over, P.W.1, who came by that way, accompanied P.W.2, the wife of the deceased and the deceased, while returning home.(k) On 3.12.1997, P.W.12, the Special CB-CID Officer (Inspector of Police) took up further investigation and examined P.W.3 and others.On 27.12.1997, P.W.12 Inspector of Police arrested all the three accused and on their confession, M.Os.2,3 and 4, the bloodstained knives, were recovered.He sent the material objects for chemical analysis.After completion of the investigation, he filed the charge sheet against the accused persons for the offence under Section 302 read with 34 IPC.(l) During the course of trial, P.Ws.1 to 12 were examined, Exs.P-1 to P-21 were filed and M.Os.1 to 7 were marked.(m) When the accused persons were questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C., they denied their complicity in the crime.They stated that they were taken to custody ten days earlier to the date of arrest and had been illegally detained in the Police Station.However, no evidence was adduced on the side of defence.(n) The trial Court, after assessing the evidence adduced by the prosecution, found all the accused guilty of the offence under Section 302 IPC and convicted and sentenced them as stated above.Hence, these appeals.R.Sankara Subbu and Mr.A.K.S.Thahir, learned counsel for the appellants in the respective appeals, would submit that the evidence adduced by the prosecution, would not be sufficient to prove the case of the prosecution; the testimony tendered by eye-witnesses, is not trustworthy; in the absence of conducting test identification parade, their evidence cannot be accepted.In support of their contentions, both the learned counsel for the appellants would cite the following authorities:(c) 1994 (2) CRIMES 875 (Madras High Court)(Mathy and Anr.(d) 2004 S.C.C. (Cri) 456 (State of Rajasthan vs. Kishan Singh).On the above aspects, we have heard learned Additional Public Prosecutor.We have carefully considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and also gone through the records.On a perusal of the entire records and on consideration of the respective submissions made by learned counsel on either side, we are of the view that the prosecution has not been able to bring home the guilt of the accused, as the evidence adduced by the prosecution, would not inspire confidence.As such, the appellants/accused 1 to 3 are liable to be acquitted of the charges.The reasons for our conclusion are as follows.According to prosecution, when P.Ws.1 and 2 accompanied the deceased, all the three accused way-laid them and on coming to know that he belongs to Hindu religion, they attacked the deceased.The deceased was taken to hospital by P.W.1 Subramanian and other witnesses at about 5.45 p.m. Ex.P-18 is the accident register relating to the injuries on the deceased, issued by P.W.9 Doctor.It is mentioned in Ex.P-18 that P.W.1 told P.W.9 Doctor that some one attacked the deceased and the deceased was found with injuries in the place of the incident and that he and P.W.2, the wife of the deceased, brought the deceased.From the evidence of P.W.9 Doctor and Ex.P-18 accident register, it is clear that P.Ws.1 and 2 did not tell P.W.9 Doctor as to the details of the occurrence; as to how the deceased sustained injuries, the number of persons involved in the occurrence and the identity of those persons.Only after receipt of information about the death of the deceased from the Doctor, P.W.1 Subramanian went to the Police Station and gave Ex.P-1 complaint.In the complaint, P.W.1 Subramanian stated that himself and P.W.2 were the eye-witnesses to the occurrence and they saw that one among the three identifiable accused, caused injury on the deceased and all the three accused ran away from the scene.The same statement has been made by P.W.1 Subramanian to P.W.11 Inspector of Police during the course of investigation.Similar statement was made by P.W.2 Parvathamani also to P.W.11 Inspector of Police.Strangely, P.Ws.1 and 2 would depose in the Court that they saw A-1 stabbing on the left chest of the deceased; A-2 on the stomach of the deceased and A-3 on the right chest of the deceased.Thereafter, A-3 took out a reaper wood and caused injury on the hand of the deceased and then, ran away.Thus, the reason given by the High Court for distrusting the evidence of Dr.According to prosecution, while the deceased was way-laid, the accused asked the name of the deceased in order to verify as to whether he belongs to Hindu religion.This shows that during the course of investigation, the investigating agency was able to conclude that three persons participated and out of three, only one attacked the deceased.On the contrary, P.Ws.1 and 2 had stated before the Court that all the three accused persons attacked.Thus, it is manifestly clear that the investigating agency has not done their job properly to find out as to who are the real assailants.As such, this Court is left with no other alternative except to give the "benefit of doubt" to all the accused persons.Therefore, the conviction and sentence imposed on the appellants/A-1 to A-3 are liable to be set aside.

Lahsar was located and in the other room of the same structure, the miscellaneous articles shop of Doodhnath Chauhan was situated.The tea shop was located to the east of the miscellaneous articles shop of Doodhnath Chauhan and, as per P.Ws.1&2, when they had come in front of the tea stall of Doodh Nath Chauhan, they were invited for a cup of tea by Rajai Yadav (not examined) and Paltan (P.W. 3) and as such they parked their motorcycle and went inside the tea stall to have a cup of tea.But, it further appears that they had come out of tea stall on to the road in front of it and started sipping tea.The second motorcycle was driven by appellant Rajesh Yadav and appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker was the pillion rider armed country made gun.It is stated by witnesses that appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav remonstrated to kill the deceased upon which deceased Shyamdeo Yadav, leaving aside his motorcycle on the road, ran into the field north of the road and was chased by appellants Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav and Suresh Yadav who started firing at him and, accordingly, Shyam Dev Yadav was hit and fell down there.The other deceased Devkinandan also ran for safety towards the tea-stall, but he was chased by appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker and appellant Rajesh who also fired simultaneously by their respective fire arms and Devkinandan fell near the tea-stall and died there.Both P.Ws. 1 and 2 had stated that they hid themselves behind the tea-stall and were thus spared and after having achieved their goal, the appellants ran towards east and then had went back in the western direction.The sketch map Ext. Ka-31, is part of the prosecution evidence and the description of different structures as per the sketch map tallies very well and completely with the evidence of P.W.1 as appears from deposition at page 69 of the paper book.These were the places where blood was found and seized by preparing seizure memoes.Margin of the wound was inverted.Blackening and tattooing was also present around the wound in an area of 3cm x3cm.Hon'ble Pankaj Naqvi,J.(Delivered by Hon'ble Dharnidhar Jha, J.)2.Five appellants of the three appeals were put on trial in the above noted Sessions Trials after being charged with committing various offences and were held guilty by the impugned Judgment.Appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav had been charged with committing offences under Sections 147, 148, 307, 149 and 302/149 I.P.C., 25 of the Arms Act as also Section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act while appellant Suresh Yadav was charged with committing all the above offences for which the above noted four accused persons had been charged, except that under Section 302/149 I.P.C. All the appellants were acquitted of the charge under Section 7 of the Criminal Law Amendment Act. Appellant Suresh Yadav of Criminal Appeal No. 3154 of 2011 was also not held guilty of committing offence under Section 25 of the Arms Act but he was held guilty of committing offences under Sections 147, 148 and 307/149 I.P.C. and was directed to suffer simple imprisonment for one year and two years respectively under Sections 147 and 148 I.P.C. while he had to suffer rigorous imprisonment for eight years as also had to pay a fine of Rs. 10,000/- for being held guilty of offence under Section 307/149 I.P.C. The learned Trial Judge directed that in case of default in paying the fine, the appellant Suresh Yadav had to undergo simple imprisonment for another term of eight months.3.So far as the other appellants, like, Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav were concerned, they were directed to suffer simple imprisonment for terms of one and two years respectively under Sections 147 and 148 I.P.C. and rigorous imprisonment for a term of eight years under Section 307/149 I.P.C. In addition to the substantive sentence, each of them was directed to pay a fine of Rs. 10,000/- else to suffer simple imprisonment for six months in respect of their individual conviction under Section 307/149 I.P.C. As regards their individual conviction under Section 302/149 I.P.C., each of the four appellants was directed to be hanged by his neck till he was dead and was further directed to pay a fine of Rs. 50,000/- or to suffer simple imprisonment for one year.4.So far as the conviction of appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Mahendra Yadav and Shiv Pujan Yadav under Section 25 of the Arms Act was concerned, each of them was to suffer rigorous imprisonment for five years and had also to pay a fine of Rs. 5,000/-, else to suffer simple imprisonment for three months.This is how the learned trial judge made the reference to this Court under Section 366 Cr.P.C. for confirmation of sentence of death which was inflicted upon the four appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav who also preferred their appeals to challenge their conviction as may appear from the array of appellants in the connected four appeals.5.Before we proceed to set out the facts of the case, we want to note that appellant Suresh Yadav of Criminal Appeal No. 3154 of 2011, though, had been convicted for offences, like, 147, 148 and 307/149 I.P.C. and was impressed also that he was being tried for being a member of unlawful assembly, the common object of which was to commit twin murders of Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav, as may appear from the heading of charges framed by the learned II Additional Sessions Judge, Ghazipur on 18.7.2005, which is available to the court at pages 56 and 57 of the paper book, and besides being questioned under Section 313 Cr.P.C. that he along with other accused persons in prosecution of the common object had caused or had known the two murders to be caused, as appears from question no. 2 put to appellant Suresh Yadav, the trial Judge had omitted to frame a charge under Section 302/149 I.P.C. against appellant Suresh Yadav.As such, no conviction of that appellant under Section 302/149 I.P.C. was recorded.This is the reason that Criminal Appeal (Defective) No. 443 of 2011 was brought by the informant of the case, namely, Kapildeo Yadav with a prayer that his sentence be enhanced accordingly.In our opinion, in absence of any conviction of appellant Suresh Yadav under Section 302/149 I.P.C, the appeal against acquittal seeking the enhancement in sentence by convicting him under Section 302 I.P.C. was not maintainable and, as such, before we proceed further with the present Judgment, we have to dismiss Criminal Appeal (Defective) No. 443 of 2010 as not maintainable.However, what we find is that the said Om Prakash Kumhar was examined by a doctor, but there is no evidence as to what was the injury found by the doctor.11.P.W. 13 searched for the accused persons during which, he came to know that appellant Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker was likely to come to the village from some other place and, accordingly, he was arrested on 22.9.2004 at about 5.05 am and, on search of his person, a country made pistol of 3.15 bore (marked 1/2005 for comparison and testing by FSL) was recovered along with a couple of cartridges (marked LC-1 & LC-2 by FSL for comparison).For the recovery of the arms and ammunitions, a separate case was instituted under the Arms Act.12.P.W. 13 learnt that appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, Mahendra Yadav and Rajesh Yadav had surrendered themselves to the custody of C.J.M., Ghazipur and, accordingly, he came to District Jail, Ghazipur on 16.10.2004 and questioned appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav who pointed out that his gun was lying in the custody of his wife at his house.Accordingly, P.W.13 came to the house of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav and seized the gun there in presence of witnesses by preparing seizure memo.The SBBL gun was marked by FSL as 4/2005 for comparison and testing.Appellants Mahendra Yadav and Rajesh Yadav were taken out of jail by order of remand passed by the court of C.J.M. and it appears that during the questioning by P.W. 13, both Rajesh Yadav and Mahendra Yadav led the Investigating Officer, P.W. 13, to different places and they produced the country made pistols, which they had concealed at two different places, before the Investigating Officer.The two pistols produced by Mahendra and Rajesh Yadav were marked 3/2005 and 2/2005 respectively for testing and comparison.This evidence of production of weapons by Rajesh and Mahendra Yadav appears at page 131 of the paper book.The two weapons were also seized by preparing two different seizure memos Exs.Ka-35 and 36 respectively.13.It appears further that the seized arms and ammunitions as also the empties were sent to Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) through P.W. 10-Constable Suresh Chaube.After examining them, the FSL submitted its report, which is available on the lower court records.It was found that the SBBL gun, which was seized from the house of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, had been used in firing the disputed empty of the cartridges marked EC-3 whereas the three different country made pistols, which were recovered from Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker , Rajeh Yadav and Mahendra Yadav, had also been used in firing different cartridges.Besides, on chemical analysis of the materials, which were found in the barrel of the weapons, i.e., the three country made pistols and the SBBL gun of appellant Shiv Pujan Yadav, they were containing firing residue nitrate, Lead and Copper and that indicated that the guns had been used recently in firing shots.These reports of FSL with the report on serological examination of bloodstained earth are at pages 48 to 52 of the paper book with its original on the lower court record which are admissible under Section 293 Cr.P.C. as evidence due to being the report of FSL, Lucknow submitted under the signature of its Joint Director.We are not sure whether these reports were marked exhibits for the prosecution but assuming that they had not been marked as such, we have read them in evidence by virtue of Section 293 Cr.P.C.14.It appears that P.W.13 was transferred from the police station as a result of which the investigation was taken up by P.W. 8-SI Hari Ram Mishra who did not do any substantial part of the investigation and submitted the charge sheet only.The investigation of the case registered for recovery for arms from the accused persons was carried out by P.W. 14-SI Ram Bharose Yadav who had also submitted charge sheet after obtaining the requisite sanction for prosecuting the appellants Rajesh Yadav, Triloki Rajbhar @ Girija Shanker, Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav for being in possession of different arms.This is how the trial was taken up which ended in the impugned Judgment and gave rise to the death reference and connected criminal appeals.15.It appears that defence of the accused persons was that the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav had many enemies and possibly they had taken advantage of the cover of darkness in the night and had killed him.As regards appellant Suresh Yadav, who has not been found guilty and sentenced under Section 302/149 I.P.C. as he was not charged and tried under Section 302/149 I.P.C., he appears to have taken a specific defence of alibi by pleading that he was not present at the scene of occurrence and rather he was present in Pathankot with his Unit of 51 Brigade of the Indian Army and his implication was out and out false.16.In order to proving the charges, the prosecution examined as many as 14 witnesses out of whom P.Ws. 1, 2 and 3 were eye witnesses to the occurrence.Sanjay Kumar Rai had held autopsy on the two dead bodies and had issued post mortem examination reports (Exts.Ka-2&3).P.W.5-Ram Siromani Verma was the Pharmacist who was posted in December 2004 in Sri Shiv Prasad Gupta Hospital, Kabir Chauraha, Varanasi where Dr. B.B.Prakash (not examined) was working as a Radiologist and who had submitted the radiological report Ex.The evidence of P.W. 4 is completely silent as to in whose respect the report had been submitted, but on looking to the evidence of P.W. 6-Dr.B.P. Bouhare, we find that the Radiologist's report was in respect of injury suffered by one Om Prakash, who was examined by P.W. 6 for his injuries in S.S. P.G. Hospital, Varanasi and had advised X-ray of his injuries.P.W.7 was the Constable Moharrir Mool Chand Sharm, who had drawn up the F.I.R. P.W.9-Constable-Munshi Prakash Chand had registered the cases under the Arms Act on the basis of the written report submitted in the police station with the seizure memos by P.W. 13-S.I. Amarendra Nath Bajpayee.P.W.10-Constable Surendra Nath Bajpayee had brought the seized arms and ammunitions and other articles to the court of C.J.M. for getting it forwarded to the FSL and took the seized articles to the FSL, Lucknow.P.W.11-Surendra Singh and P.W.12- Surendra Nath Tiwari had accompanied the two dead bodies to the mortuary for post mortem examination.P.W.13-Amarendra Nath Bajpayee, we have already noted, was the first Investigating Officer of the case and, on his transfer, the investigation was carried on by P.W.8-S.I. Hari Ram Mishra.P.W.14- S.I. Ram Darash Yadav had investigated the case under the Arms Act.The defence examined the solitary witness Dalveer Singh, who was an employee of the Indian Army and who had brought certain records from his Unit 330 Brigade and stated that on the date of occurrence, the appellant Suresh Yadav, posted in the Indian Army as Hawildar, was present in Pathankot with 51 Brigade of the Army.18.After considering the evidence available to him, the learned trial judge recorded the finding of guilt and passed the order of sentence upon the appellants and made the reference which has been noted at the very outset of the present Judgment.19.Sri Gopal Swarup Chaturvedi, the learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the appellants in support of the appeals and in opposition of the death reference, took us through the evidence of witnesses and submitted that the witnesses were not reliable as their presence at the place of occurrence was itself doubtful.It was contended by Sri Chaturvedi that both the witnesses Kapil Dev Yadav (P.W.1) and Deep Chand @ Lalji (P.W.3) were chance witnesses and the reason for their presence at the place of occurrence appears stated for the first time during trial and as such the court should reject their evidence.It was contended that P.W.3- Paltan Yadav had supported the prosecution story during his examination-in-chief, but during cross examination on 9.1.2006 and 8.11.2006, he turned round to go to the extent of stating that even those statements which had been made by him on oath before the learned Sessions Judge on 14.11.2005 during his examination-in-chief, had not been made by him and he did not have any reason to say as to how the learned trial court recorded those statements in his deposition sheets.During the course of his cross examination on 8.11.2006, submitted Sri Chaturvedi, P.W.3 stated that neither he was present at the tea-stall of Doodhnath Chauhan nor he was taking tea and, as such, the claim of P.Ws.1 & 2 that they were invited to have a cup of tea by P.W.3 Paltan and Rajai Yadav (not examined), appears not established.It was contended that the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav was the full brother of P.W.2-Deep Chand @ Lalji.P.W.1-Kapil Dev Yadav was the son of Musafir, who was the elder brother of Deep Chand @ Lalji (P.W.2) and the deceased Shyamdeo.The evidence was ample that there were some good number of witnesses, who were present at the place of occurrence, which was a small place of business-activity where many establishments were located, but none of those independent persons came to support the prosecution story.Submission was that evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 being that of interested and inimical witnesses, the court should reject the same and hold the charges not substantiated.The submission also was that the enmity between the accused and the prosecution party was undisputed and this could be the reason for the false implication of the appellants.The deceased Shyamdeo had many enemies, which has been admitted by P.W. 1 in his evidence, and possibly, he was killed sometimes in the night and an antedated report was collusively made and evidence in support of the false story was led, which ultimately ended in the impugned Judgment and the reference made by the learned Trial Judge under Section 366 Cr.P.C. Sri Chaturvedi, lastly, submitted that it could not be a case which should be the rarest among the rare ones and it was an ordinary murder out of enmity without any element of depravity as regards its execution and the learned Trial Judge, submitted Sri Chaturvedi, had misdirected himself on law in sentencing and has inflicted punishment, which was not proportionate to the act.20.We had the privilege of hearing Sri A.K.Srivastava and Sri A.N. Mulla, the two Additional Government Advocates in opposition of the appeals.It was contended on their behalf that it is true that the deceased Shyamdeo was the full brother of P.W. 2-Deep Chand @ Lalji and uncle of Kapildeo Yadav (P.W.1) too, but on a cautious scrutiny of their evidence what appears is that they were telling the truth and they had assigned good reasons for their presence and that does not appear seriously challenged.Their evidence is consistent on the manner of occurrence and the enmity is admitted and that was the motive for commission of the offence.The evidence was sufficient to indicate that the charges were proved to the hilt.21.P.W. 1 Kapil Dev Yadav had stated in his evidence that his father Musafir Yadav had two brothers Deep Chand Yadav @ Lalji (P.W.2) and Shyamdeo Yadav (the deceased).Thus, the inter se close relationship between the deceased and the witnesses is admitted.What we further find is that it was a well-knit family till the date of occurrence.It appears that the family was residing under one roof.They dined in one-mess and probably they were running the business or other affairs of the family jointly.It was a day-time murder.Thus, the question of the witnesses or the family members, who were very close to the deceased Shyamdeo Yadav, to have spun out an imaginary story, appears a far fetched situation.23.We approached the evidence of both the witnesses with an alert mind as the witnesses have admitted, as appears from the cross-examination of P.W. 1 at page 70 of the paper book, enmity between the parties.Likewise, one Raj Narain had been murdered and it was suggested to P.W. 1 that the deceased Devkinandan was one of the accused in the case instituted for the said murder of Raj Narain.The two deceased Shyamdeo Yadav and Devkinandan Yadav arrived by one motorcycle.No sooner the two had arrived there, the five appellants are also said to have arrived there by two motorcycles.On one motorcycle appellants Shiv Pujan Yadav and Mahendra Yadav were sitting with SBBL gun and country made gun respectively which was driven by appellant Suresh Yadav.The empties of cartridges were also found near the dead bodies and they were also seized by preparing seizure memoes.P.W. 1 described the existence of shops, etc. at different places and their location in respect of the road which was in north of them and parallel to them and the same descriptions appear recorded by the Investigating officer of the case.These evidences of the P.W. 1 do not appear challenged.What is found from the sketch map further is that the dead body of Shyamdeo was found in the field north of the road whereas that of Deokinandan was found lying at point B also on the road and in front of the tea-stall of Doodhnath.These evidences of P.W.1 and the objective findings of P.W. 13 recorded in sketch map are corroborating each other on important aspects of the case.26.Both P.Ws. 1 and 2 stated that they had started from their house for going to Hurmujpur Halt where they had a shop of tether and other rope materials.The submission was that this fact had not been stated in the F.I.R. by P.W.1 and that P.W.2 had not stated this fact during the course of investigation to the Investigating Officer.27.We find from the cross-examination of P.W. 1 that he had admitted that he had not stated this fact in the written report.We do not find it unusual that this fact was not mentioned in the written report.P.W. 1 had stated in the F.I.R. that he and P.W. 2 Deep Chandra @ Lalji had left their house on 17.9.2009 and stopped at the tea-stall of Doodhnath Chauhan for taking tea where Rajai Yadav (not examined) and Paltan Yadav were also taking tea at about 8 am.It is too well known to be stated that all facts need not be stated in the F.I.R.. In fact, during his cross-examination, P.W. 1 had admitted that he had not stated that he was going to Hurmujpur halt, but no question was put to him that that particular fact was not stated by him before the Investigating Officer.So it becomes very difficult for us to reject the claim of the witness as regards the purpose in connection whereof he happened to be at the place of occurrence while he was on way to Hurmujpur halt.Likewise, attention of P.W. 2 was drawn to a statement which was allegedly made by him to the Investigating Officer when he stated that he and Kapildeo Yadav had gone to Laxmanpur Chatti for taking tea.The witness denied that he had made the statement.In order to verifying as to whether the witness had made that particular statement and the further statement, we went through the evidence of P.Ws. 13 and 8 S.I. A.N. Bajpayee and S.I. Hari Ram Mishra respectively and we find that no proof of that fact was obtained by cross-examining the two police officers to that fact.The next fact which was put to P.W. 2 in his cross-examination was that he had not stated that he was going to Hurmujpur halt by the motorcycle and the witness said that he had made that statement to the Investigating Officer.Again, we find the proof of that particular fact regarding going to Hurmujpur halt and making no statement to that effect was not proved by cross-examining P.Ws. 8 and 13- the Investigating officers.Thus, in absence of any evidence from the Investigating Officers that P.Ws. 1 and 2 had not stated before them that they had proceeded on a motorcycle for Hamijpur halt together and they had stopped at the tea stall of Doodhnath Chauhan at the request of Rajai (not examined), we have to accept that they had the same purpose and they had, accordingly, set out together from their house as is claimed by P.W.1 at page 71 and by P.W. 2 at page 78 of his deposition.28.Sri Chaturvedi was criticising the evidence of two witnesses as chance witnesses.What Sri Chaturvedi was arguing was that both P.Ws. 1 and 2 had no reason to remain present at the scene of occurrence and they being inimical might be motivated to make a false statement.A chance witness is one who by co-incidence or chance happens to be present at the place of occurrence at the time when it had taken place (AIR 1976 Supreme Court 2032, Bahal Singh vs State Of Haryana) and if such person happens to be the relative or friend of the victim or inimically disposed towards the accused, then he being a chance witness is viewed with suspicion.The other view, which appears from Jai Singh Vs.State of Karnataka reported in 2007 Criminal Law Journal 2434 at pages 2435 and 2436, was that where, if such witnesses did not explain the circumstances which brought them to the place of occurrence from the village coupled with the fact that they did not inform the incident to anyone even though one of them was related to the deceased being a cousin and kept silent for about six days, it was held that such witnesses were not reliable.Therefore, what appears from Jai Singh(supra) is that if the witnesses are giving sufficient reasons, which may be acceptable to the courts regarding their presence at the scene of occurrence, then the evidence of such witnesses could not be rejected by merely lebelling them as chance witnesses.Here in the present case both P.Ws. 1 and 2 have stated that they started from their house for going to Hurmujpur Halt for looking after their small business of tether and rope materials.The evidence which we have scanned in the previous paragraph of the present Judgment, appears satisfactory as regards their claim for leaving their house by a motorcycle to go to that place.There is no denial or even a challenge by the defence that they did not have any such establishment at Hurmujpur Halt and there was no cross-examination further to show that there was no establishment of the witnesses there as was claimed by them.Moreover, the presence of both P.Ws. 1 and 2 at the place of occurrence may appear per chance but their stoppage there also appears on account of a particular reason.P.W. 3, who turned hostile after more than two months of giving evidence in examination-in-chief, had also stated that when P.Ws. 1 and 2 arrived there by the motor cycle, he and Rajai invited Deep Chand @ Lalji (P.W. 2) and Kapil Dev Yadav (P.W.1) to have tea and, accordingly, they came to the tea stall and started sipping the tea.P.W. 2-Deep Chand @ Lalji had stated that if he and P.W. 1 would not have been stopped for having tea by P.W. 3 and Rajai, both of them ought not have stopped there.This evidence appears in the last paragraph of cross-examination dated 13.9.2005 of P.W. 2 at page 82 of the paper book.Thus, their stoppage at the place of occurrence might have been per chance, but the reason for their stay appears quite convincing and, on that account, we do not find their presence improbable.29.In our opinion, if a witness claims his presence at the scene of occurrence merely due to that reason, he should not be trusted.The Court should still hold an inquiry by scanning the evidence given by such a witness as to whether the reasons which were assigned by him for his presence at any particular place was really acceptable and convincing.If the court found the witness trustworthy on that claim, then only the witness could be said to be reliable else his evidence could not be utilized for any purpose.Here in the present case, we find that both P.W.1 and P.W.2 have stated that while they were on way to Hurmujpur Halt for attending to their small business there, they stopped near the place of occurrence on account of being requested to have a cup of tea by P.W. 3 and Rajai Yadav and we do find the reasons sufficient to accept the same.Thus, what we find is that P.Ws. 1 and 2 were not mere chance witnesses.They had good reasons to stop and for remaining present at the scene of occurrence.Might be, the occurrence had taken place at the time when they were very much present at the scene of occurrence.30.The evidence of P.Ws. 1 and 2 was scanned by us quite deeply and we find that the cross-examination of P.W. 1 on the manner of occurrence which appears at page 74 of the paper book further inspires our confidence.The witness was put many searching questions on the manner of occurrence and he was responding convincingly by describing the manner in which both the deceased were chased and killed.P.W. 2 was also cross-examined on the manner of occurrence as appears from the perusal of his evidence at pages 83 and 84 of the paper book and we find that the evidences of both the P.Ws. are quite consistent with each other and not

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

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

The Petitioner No.2 made correspondence with the Chief Personnel Officer of the Eastern Railway to ascertain whether the husband of the Opposite Party No.2 had drawn the house rent allowance as an employee of the railways during the period for which the Opposite Party No.2 claimed house rent allowance as Assistant Teacher of the school.CRR No. 2486 of 2011 With CRAN No. 1152 of 2013 Ruma Raha Dutta & Ors.The State of West Bengal & Anr.This criminal revision is preferred by the petitioners for quashing the proceeding being G. R. Case No.807 of 2007 arising out of Dankuni Police Station Case No.151 of 2007 dated 30.09.2007 under Sections 341/323/506/509/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Sections 3(1)(x) and 4 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 pending before the Court of Learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Serampore, Hooghly.The Opposite Party No.2 is the Assistant Teacher of Raghunathpur Balika Vidyalaya and her husband Shri Gora Chand Das is a Senior Labour Welfare Inspector of the Eastern Railway.The Petitioner No.1 is the Headmistress of Raghunathpur Balika Vidyalaya.The Petitioner No.2 is the Secretary, the Petitioner No.3 is the President and the Petitioner No.4 is the member of the Managing Committee of the said Raghunathpur Balika Vidyalaya.The allegations made by the Opposite Party No.2 being the defacto complainant in the written complaint treated as F.I.R. are as follows:"On 29.09.2007 at 11.20 a.m. within the school premises Smt. Ruma Raha (Dutta), Shri Kamal Krishna Ghosh, Bhola Hazra, Johar Jyoti etc., the managing committee members of the school have assaulted mentally with uses filthy languages with loudly voice and tortured in a scientific manner.A no. of filthy languages with loudly voice was used to force me to leave the job and life threatening me being continued.Under the circumstances would request your attention to take necessary action in accordance with Article 359 of the constitution of Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989 against them."It is relevant to point out that the persons whose names are disclosed by the Opposite Party No.2 in the F.I.R. are the petitioners of the instant criminal revision.The police took up the investigation of the above criminal case.The petitioners have prayed for quashing the said criminal proceeding.However, on appeal the Division Bench of the Karnataka High Court reversed the judgement of the Learned Single Judge and thereafter the order of the Division Bench was upheld by the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court approved the acquisition proceedings.Therefore, the writ petition, out of which the appeal arose before the Supreme Court, purports to be an attempt to litigate once again, inter alia, on the ground that the aforesaid blocks of land were outside the purview of the framework of the agreement and notification issued under the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act. In this reported case, the original writ petition before the Single Bench, the appeal before the Division Bench and the appeal before the Supreme Court were decided on merit and as such the subsequent writ petition and appeal were held to be barred by the principles of res judicata and abuse of the process of the court.Mr. Sekhar Basu, Learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has pointed out the order of dismissal of criminal revision being CRR No.4308 of 2007 in order to urge before this court that the previous criminal revision was not dismissed on merit.On perusal of the order dated 22.06.2011 passed in CRR No.4308 of 2007 it is clear that none appeared on behalf of the petitioners and Learned Counsels appearing on behalf of the opposite parties submitted that the investigation was done and charge sheet was submitted before the Trial Court.In view of the fact that charge sheet was submitted the criminal revision was dismissed without hearing Learned Counsel representing the petitioners.Since the criminal revision being CRR No.4308 of 2007 was not dismissed on merit, the ratio of the decision of "M. Nagabhushana V. State of Karnataka" reported in (2011) 3 SCC 408 cannot be applicable in the facts of the present case.Now, it is relevant to point out from the materials on record the long standing animosity between the Opposite Party No.2 and the petitioners before the incident dated 29.09.2007, which gave rise to the present criminal proceeding.In the middle of the year 2003, the Petitioner No.1 being the Headmistress of the school and the members of the managing committee of the said school requested all the teachers to donate Rs.50,000/- each towards development fund of the school.The Opposite Party No.2 refused to make donation and thereby strained relationship cropped up between the Opposite Party No.2 and the petitioners.It appears from the materials on record that the Petitioner No.1 stopped giving house rent allowance to the Opposite Party No.2 with effect from 01.04.2005 on the ground that she did not submit the document in support of her declaration that her husband being a government employee is not drawing house rent allowance.However, ultimately the Opposite Party No.2 moved the High Court by filing W.P. No.4391 (W) of 2007 and on 25.06.2007 the High Court passed the order that the Opposite Party No.2 will get the house rent allowance along with arrears within the time frame given by the High Court.The above admitted facts go to establish that there was long standing animosity between the Opposite Party No.2 and the petitioners for two reasons: first, the demand of donation of Rs.50,000/- by the petitioners towards the development fund of the school and secondly, the stoppage of disbursement of house rent allowance of the Opposite Party No.2 by the Petitioner No.1 for failure of the Opposite Party No.2 to submit document in support of the declaration that her husband is not drawing house rent allowance.With the above background of facts, the Opposite Party No.2 was absent from the school for more than three months on medical ground immediately before the incident.The incident took place when the Opposite Party No.2 entered into the office room of the Petitioner No.1 for submitting her application for leave on medical ground.

The prosecution case was briefly this.There is a firm Hiremani and Jaglur and Co., carrying on business sin oil and flour at Hubli in the district of Dharwar.That firm is the proprietor of the Sangameshwar Oil and Flour Mills.On 26-5-1956, K. Umakant wrote a letter to the Hubli firm informing the later that he was awaiting the draft for Rupees 8000/- "as per wire and call", but the same was not received till 4 p.m. that day.The Hubli firm referred in that letter to a telegram informing K. Umakant that a draft on the Canara Industrial and Banking Syndicate Ltd., No. 075509, dated 21-5-1956, had already been despatched on 21st May, 1956 and the balance of Rs. 5,000/- was sent on 27th May. The Hubli firm further stated that they were surprised to learn that the draft for Rs. 8,000/- was not received by K. Umakant.They asserted that it was posted on 21-5-1956 with an enclosing letter.The letter then proceeded to state:"Probably as it is an ordinary post might be received by you in your office by anyone in your office.The draft was then presented in the bank together with a paying-in-slip and the amount of the draft was duly credited in the account.Thereafter the person who opened the account with the bank and deposited the draft for Rs. 8,000 made enquiries from time to time about the cashing of the draft.JUDGMENT Shah, J.The accused Abu Ismail was tried in Sessions Case No. 21 of 1957 for offences under Section 411, Section 467, and Section 471 read with Section 467 of the Indian Penal Code.The accused was tried before the Additional Sessions Judge, Greater Bombay, with a common jury.The jury brought in a majority verdict of 8 to 1 against the accused for the there offences charged against him.All the substantive sentences were directed to run concurrently.The accused has appealed to this Court.The letter was addressed to K. Umakant.It appears that this draft with the enclosing letter did not reach K. Umakant.A partner of the Hubli firm then came to Bombay.It appears that on 25-5-1956 an application for opening an account in the name of Kamalakant Umakant Joshi residing at Patel Mansions, Chowpaty, Bombay 7, was submitted to the Manager of the New Citizen Bank of India, Ltd., Queen's Road Branch, Bombay.In the application the introductory reference was given by one Seth C. Das and the occupation of the applicant was shown as "Commission Agent" and address as "Opposite to Grant Road Station".The applicant deposited a sum of Rs. 500/ in cash for opening the account.In the specimen signature card which accompanied the application it was stated that the applicant will sign on cheques as "K. Umakant." In the afternoon of the same day, the draft for Rs. 8,000/- which was sent by the Hubli firm addressed to K. Umakant of Bombay was presented by the applicant who had opened the account with the New Citizen Bank of India, Ltd. It appears that one Gambre, who was the ledger-keeper in the bank asked the person who presented the draft to endorse the same in his presence even though the draft bore already an endorsement by K. Umakant.On 28th May 1956, he approached Gambre and was told that the draft had been cashed and credit was given to him.Thereupon a cheque for Rupees 7,900/- was drawn in favour of self' and the amount was withdrawn by the person who had deposited that draft.It appears that three more cheques respectively for Rs. 5000/- Rs. 3,000/- and Rs. 2,000/- were deposited but those cheques were dishonoured.On 30th May 1956, the net balance which remained with the bank in the account opened on 25th May 1956, was Rs. 171/12/. It is the case for the prosecution that the accused had received the draft for Rs. 8,000/- knowing the same to be stolen property and had thereafter endorsed the same in favour of the New Citizen Bank of India, Ltd., and had withdrawn the amount of Rs. 7,900/- which as the proceeds of the draft.Pursuant to the complaint made on 4th June 1956, investigation was started by the police and ultimately the accused was arrested and he was charged wit the offence under Section 379, or,in the alternative under Section 411 of the Penal Code and also for the offences under Section 467, of the Penal Code.It appears that the jury accepted the prosecution case that it was the accused who had presented the draft ad the bank and had made an endorsement on the reverse of the draft in the presence of Gambre and that the accused was not the person who was the addressee of the letter which was sent by the Hubli firm with which the draft was enclosed.The learned Judge put the respective versions of the Honorary Presidency Magistrate and of Gambre and told the jury that it was for them to decide whether the evidence of Gambre should be accepted in preference to the evidence of the Honorary Presidency Magistrate.

Hon'ble Mahboob Ali,J.(Delivered by Hon'ble Bala Krishna Narayana, J.)Heard Sri Rahul Misra, Amicus Curiae, learned counsel for the appellant, Sri.A.N. Mulla and Sri J.K. Upadhaya, learned A.G.A. for the State.By way of instant jail appeal, challenge has been made to the validity and legality of the judgement and order dated 15.9.2014 passed by Special Judge (E.C. Act)/Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad in S.T. No. 1074 of 2012 (State Versus Babu Ram), arising out of Case Crime No. 298 of 2012, under Sections 452, 302, 307, 504 and 506 IPC and S.T. No. 1075 of 2012 (State Versus Babu Ram), arising out of Case Crime No. 322 of 2012, under Section 4/25 Arms Act by which the appellant-Babu Ram has been convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for life and a fine of Rs. 5000/- and in case of default of payment of fine, 3 years additional rigorous imprisonment under Section 302 IPC, 7 years rigorous imprisonment together with fine and in case of default of payment of fine 1 year rigorous imprisonment under Section 307 IPC and 1 year rigorous imprisonment and a fine of Rs. 500/- and in case of default of payment of fine 3 months additional rigorous imprisonment under Section 506 IPC.All the sentences were directed to run concurrently.Course of events leading to filing of this appeal as discernible from the record appear to be that informant P. W. 1 Satish Chandra lodged a written report Ext. Ka1 at P.S. Chandausi, District Bheemnagar at 15:35 hours on 15.7.2012 regarding the murder of his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi and causing injuries to him by the appellant-Babu Ram on 15.7.2012 at about 14:45 hours in front of his house in Village Pathra within the territorial jurisdiction of P. S. Chandauli, District Bheemnagar.Left lungs was punctured.Weight of heart was 180 gram and was empty.100 ml.semi-digested food was present in stomach.Mucous was normal.P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma was of the opinion that the deceased had died about 18 hours before conducting the postmortem due to shock and haemorrhage as a result of ante-mortem injuries.Similarly, P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh Chandra have also in their respective examinations-in-chief corroborated the evidence of P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra on all material points relating to the time, place and manner of attack and the identity of the perpetrators of crime.However, P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal both fumbled during their cross-examination.Although P. W. 1 Satish Chandra in his examination-in-chief had deposed that the FIR of the incident was scribed by one Ranveer on his dictation and after he had read over the FIR to him he had signed the same and given it at the Police Station Chandausi.However, as noted hereinabove, P. W. 1 Satish Chandra in his cross-examination deposed that before the FIR of the incident was scribed, he had consulted the SHO, the FIR of the incident was thereafter, written on the instructions of the SHO by a police personnel with whom he had met at the police station and whose name he did not know.Similarly, P. W. 2 Netrapal also in his cross-examination on page 20 of the paper book stated on oath that he had left for the police station along with his brother to lodge the FIR of the incident at about 5:30 P.M., they had met the SHO at the police station and narrated the entire incident to him and the report was thereafter, written in the police station after they had consulted the SHO.Although, in the FIR as well as in the statements of all the three witnesses of fact it has been stated that on the date of incident, an altercation had taken place between the children of the appellant and the informant on account of which later in the day while informant and his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi were present in their house and Smt. Shiv Dai mother of the informant was sitting on the door steps of his house, the appellant came armed with a knife to the house of the informant and started abusing his wife and when she objected he stabbed her with his knife and when the informant tried to save her he dealt a blow with his knife to him also.However, on page 17 of the paper book, P. W. 1 Satish Chandra came out with an entirely different version of the occurrence by deposing that he had never quarrelled with the appellant.Appellant-Babu Ram had come to his house from the western side and had stopped at the turning.His wife had then gone out of her house.Neither any quarrel had taken place between the appellant-Babu Ram and informant's wife Smt. Nanhi Devi nor any altercation had taken place between them.Ramesh, Murari and Rubi were not present at the place of incident and they had arrived at the crime scene after 15-20 minutes.The incident had taken place outside his house, near the house of P. W. 2 Netrapal and not inside his house.His wife had received 9 wounds.He had seen the knife which had a copper handle.The blade of the knife was about one foot long and it was sharp edged on one side.The appellant before fleeing from the place of occurrence had left the knife behind which he had handed over to the police.The aforesaid report was noted in the chek FIR Ext. Ka4 as Case Crime No. 298 of 2012, under Sections 302, 452, 324, 504 and 506 IPC on 15.7.2012 at 15:35 hours.He thereafter, dispatched the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi to the District Hospital for conducting postmortem.The postmortem on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi was conducted by P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma on 16.7.2012 who also prepared the postmortem report of the deceased which is on record as.Ext. Ka2 and noted following ante mortem injuries on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi :(i) Straight abrasion 3.0 cm x ½ cm on left side of forehead, just above the left eyebrow.(ii) Punctured wound 4.0 cm x 2.0 cm on left side of chest, 6.00 cm below from clavicle bone.On internal examination, fourth rib was found to be fractured and lungs was ruptured.Around 1 liter blood was present in chest cavity.(iii) Incised wound 11 cm x 7 cm x muscle deep, in front of joint of right elbow.(iv) Five punctured wounds in the area of 22 cm x 10 cm on chest and on right side of abdomen.Minor wound 2 cm x ½ cm x muscle deep and major wound 5 cm x 2 cm x abdomen cavity deep.On internal examination, liver was found to be punctured at three places.Around 1 liter blood was present in abdomen cavity.(v) Incised wound 2 cm x 01 cm x muscle deep outwards on left hand.(vi) Incised wound 4 cm x ½ cm x muscle deep on left arm.(vii) 03 incised wounds in the area of 23 cm x 13 cm outwards of left thigh.Minor wound 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm x muscle deep and major wound 6 cm x 2.5 cm x muscle deep.Fourth leftward rib of chest was fractured and third rib of rightward was fractured.After the appellant was arrested and on his pointing out the crime weapon (knife) allegedly used by the appellant in committing the murder of the deceased and causing injuries to the informant was recovered on 1.8.2012, consequently Case Crime No. 298 of 2012, under Section 4/25 Arms Act was also registered against him.The investigation of Case Crime No. 298 of 2012 was taken over by P. W. 7, S.I. Rajvir Singh after the first Investigating Officer Rajvir Singh was transferred to District Sambhal.Both the cases were committed to the Court of Sessions Judge, Moradabad for the trial of the accused by committal order dated 9.10.2012 passed by CJM, Moradabad where the same were registered as S.T. No. 1074 of 2012 and S.T. No. 1075 of 2012 and made over for trial from there to the Court of Special Judge (E.C. Act)/Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad vide order dated 11.1.2013 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad.The appellant pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.Thereafter, the prosecution was asked to lead evidence for proving the charges framed against the appellant in both the sessions trial.The prosecution, in order to prove its case, against the appellant examined as many as 9 witnesses of whom P. W. 1 Satish Chandra, P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh were examined as witnesses of fact while P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma who had conducted the postmortem on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi Devi, P. W. 5 Dr. Mohd. Aslam who had examined the injuries of informant Satish Chandra, P. W. 6 Constable Ram Kumar who had prepared the chek FIR and G.D. Entry, P. W. 7 S. I., Rajvir Singh, second Investigating Officer of the case, P. W. 8 S.H.O., Rajvir Singh, first Investigating Officer of the case, P. W. 9 S. I., Megh Singh, witness of recovery of crime weapon and P. W. 10, Head Constable Omkar Sharma who had prepared the chek FIR and the corresponding G.D. entry were produced as formal witnesses during the trial.The appellant in his statement recorded during the trial under Section 313 Cr.P.C. denied the prosecution case as false and incorrect.He denied having committed any murder.As regards the recovery of knife on his pointing out, he stated that it was recovered from a drain and not from the jungle on the alleged pointing out of the appellant as alleged by the prosecution.The appellant did not examine any witness in defence.Learned Trial Judge after considering the submissions advanced before him by the learned counsel for the parties and scrutinizing the evidence on record, both oral as well as documentary, convicted the appellant under Section 302, 307 and 506 IPC and 4/25 Arms Act and awarded aforesaid sentences to him.However, the Trial Judge acquitted the appellant of the charge under Section 452 and 504 IPC by extending benefit of doubt to him.Hence this appeal.Sri Rahul Misra, Amicus Curiae, appearing for the appellant has submitted that the motive for the appellant to commit the offence as spelt out in the FIR that a quarrel had taken place between the appellant and the informant and his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi over a fight which had ensued between the children of the informant and the accused earlier on the same day which culminated into stabbing of the informant and his wife by the appellant.The FIR written on the dictation of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra never saw the light of the day.It is not established from the evidence of P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh that they had witnessed the incident.The correct facts are that the wife of the informant Smt. Nanhi was living with the appellant and his wife and on account of the aforesaid fact he had become inimical towards him and it was on account of the aforesaid enmity that he had falsely implicated him in the present case.In the absence of any public witness, the alleged recovery of the crime weapon on 1.8.2012 on the pointing out of the appellant as alleged by the prosecution is wholly fabricated especially in view of the deposition made by the witnesses of fact produced by the prosecution during the trial that the appellant after committing the murder had thrown away the knife in the drain and the knife was recovered by the police from the place of incident itself.He lastly submitted that the prosecution having miserably failed to prove the charge framed against the appellant by any cogent and reliable evidence, neither the recorded conviction of the appellant nor the sentences awarded to him can be sustained and are liable to be set aside.Per contra Sri.A. N. Mulla and Sri J.K. Upadhaya, learned A. G. A. appearing for the State submitted that the prosecution case stands fully proved from the evidence of three witnesses of fact produced by the prosecution during the trial including that of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra (informant) who had received injuries in the same incident and whose presence at the place of occurrence cannot be doubted even for a moment.It is also proved from the evidence of P. W. 7 S.I. Rajvir Singh and P. W. 9 S.I. Megh Singh that the crime weapon (knife) was recovered on the pointing out of the appellant pursuant to the disclosure statement made by him before the police after his arrest.The postmortem report of the deceased and the injury report of the injured have been duly proved by P. W. 3 Dr. R.K. Sharma and P. W. 5 Dr. Mohd. Aslam.The medical evidence on record fully corroborates the ocular version.This appeal lacks merit and is liable to be dismissed.We have heard the learned counsel for the parties at great length and perused the entire lower court record.The FIR of this case discloses that on 15.7.2012 an altercation took place between the children of the informant and the appellant-Babu Ram at about 2:45 P.M. while the informant and his wife Smt. Nanhi Devi were present inside their house and his mother Smt. Shiv Dai was sitting on the doorsteps.Appellant-Babu Ram residing in Village Pathra at the time of occurrence came with a knife in his hand and started abusing the wife of informant.When the informant asked him not to abuse his wife, appellant-Babu Ram started inflicting knife blows on his wife and when the informant tried to rescue her, he stabbed him also.On hearing the noise, informant's mother Smt. Shiv Dai and his brother P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh Chandra son of Natthu Lal resident of the same village rushed to the place of occurrence and rescued them whereupon the appellant-Babu Ram fled away from the place of occurrence extending life threats to the informant.The informant then took his wife to the hospital with the help of his family members.However, she succumbed to the injuries sustained by her in the occurrence, on way to the hospital.Leaving the dead body of his wife in the hospital, the informant went to the police station to lodge the FIR of the occurrence.Record further shows that the FIR of the incident which had taken place on 15.7.2012 at about 2:45 P.M. was lodged by the informant P. W. 1 Satish Chandra at P. S. Chandausi at 3:35 P.M.Inviting our attention to the facts deposed by P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal in their cross examination, learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that the FIR in this case is ante timed.Upon perusal of the cross-examination of P.W.1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal, it transpires that P.W.1 Satish Chandra has in his cross-examination deposed that he had gone to lodge the FIR at about 3 P.M. half an hour after the incident.His report was lodged at about 4 P.M. Then he said that he did not have a watch.The report was lodged at about 5 P.M. He further stated that he had gone to the police station straightaway and reached there at about 8 P.M., it took him about half an hour in lodging the FIR.Similarly, P.W.2 in his cross-examination deposed that he had gone to lodge the FIR of the occurrence with his brother at 5:30 P.M.It is noteworthy that the evidence of P. W. 1 and P. W. 2 was recorded almost 1 year after the occurrence.Undisputedly both the witnesses P. W. 1 and P. W. 2 are almost uneducated and merely because of some contradictions in their statements with regard to the time at which the FIR of the incident was registered vis-a-vis the time of the registration of FIR mentioned in the chek FIR and the G.D. entry it cannot be held that the FIR in this case is ante timed.The fact that the FIR was registered at the time mentioned in the chek FIR stands fully proved from the fact that the inquest on the dead body of Smt. Nanhi was conducted on 15.7.2012 at 15:35 hours.The inquest report of the deceased-Smt.Nanhi Devi Ext. Ka9 clearly mentions the case crime number which indicates that the FIR had come into existence before the inquest proceedings started.The complaint was scribed in the police station.Thus, in view of the above, the possibility of the first written report of the incident having been suppressed and another first information report prepared on the advice of and after consultation with the concerned SHO cannot be ruled out.P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra in his examination-in-chief had categorically deposed that his complaint was scribed by one Ranveer on his dictation and thereafter, he had lodged the same at Police Station Chandausi but from the facts stated by him and P. W. 2 Netrapal in their cross-examinations referred to hereinabove, it transpires that the report of the occurrence which was originally scribed by one Ranveer on the dictation of the informant Satish Chandra never saw the light of the day.So far as the credibility of the FIR in this case is concerned, we find upon perusal of the evidence of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal that the same stands totally shattered.The FIR in this case is proved to have been scribed by a police personnel whom the informant had met at the police station and before scribing the FIR the informant had consulted SHO of the concerned police station, thereafter, the FIR was written by a police man on behalf of informant on the instructions of the S.H.O. In view of the above, the possibility of the prosecution as spelt out in the FIR being false, fabricated and concocted cannot be ruled out.The issue which next arises for our consideration is that whether the evidence of P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra, P. W. 2 Netrapal and P. W. 4 Ramesh Chandra who were examined as eye-witnesses of the incident is reliable and trustworthy or not.P. W. 1 (informant) Satish Chandra in his examination-in-chief has fully supported the prosecution case.On page 25 of the paper book in his cross-examination he further stated that he and P. W. 1 Satish Chandra had reached the place of occurrence on hearing the noise from the side of the road and it was incorrect to say that he was present at the place of incident at the time of occurrence.Satish Chandra had also received injuries at the hands of the appellant in the same incident.The injury report of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra indicates that following injuries were found on his person :(i) Incised wound 7.00 cm x 2.00 cm on lower portion of left hand, edges of which were sharp and bone deep.Blood was oozing and its x-ray advised.(ii) Red straight mark of abrasion 6.00 cm long in middle of left hand.(iii) Punctured wound 1.00 cm x 0.5 cm on left elbow, edges of which were sharp; depth could not be measured.Blood was oozing which was kept under observation and x-ray advised for left elbow.(iv) Incised wound 2.00 cm x 5.00 cm, 22 cm above from left knee on left thigh (sharp edged and muscle deep, red in colour) which was kept under observation and x-ray advised for left thigh.(v) Red abrasion wound 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm downwards on left chest, 9.00 cm downwards and outwards from left nipple.(vi) Red abrasion wound 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm, 3 cm below on stomach at left side and was outwards.Abrasion wound 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm on posterior of chest leftwards at lower portion.Upon reading the evidence of P. W. 5 Mohd. Aslam, we find that since P. W. 1 Satish Chandra had not got his injuries X-rayed, he was not in a position to state whether the injuries sustained by him were simple or grievous in nature and it was on account of the aforesaid omission that supplementary report of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra could not prepared.He has further deposed that it was possible that the injuries received by him could be caused on 15.7.2012 at about 2:45 P.M.The next question which arises for our consideration in this appeal is that whether P. W. 1 Satish Chandra notwithstanding the fact that he was present at the place of occurrence has given correct and cogent description of the incident or not.However, in view of the categorical deposition made by P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and P. W. 2 Netrapal on pages 17 and 20 of their cross-examination that the appellant after stabbing the deceased in her stomach with a knife had run away abandoning the knife at the place of occurrence which was picked up by P. W. 1 Satish Chandra and handed over to the police personnel on their arrival at the place of occurrence and which was sealed by them in a packet on the date of incident itself and on which thumb impression of P. W. 1 Satish Chandra were obtained, the entire prosecution case that crime weapon was recovered on the pointing out of the appellant-Babu Ram from an open place pursuant to the disclosure statement made by him before the police after his arrest stands totally falsified and fabricated.Thus, upon a holistic view of the facts of the case and a careful appraisal and scrutiny of the evidence on record, we do not find that the prosecution has been able to prove its case against the appellant beyond all reasonable doubts.The credibility of the FIR in this case is under a heavy cloud and in view of the above, the possibility of the prosecution case as narrated in the FIR being concocted and fabricated at the behest of the police personnel cannot be ruled out.Moreover, the prosecution has not been able to establish the place of occurrence.P. W. 1 Satish Chandra cannot be categorized as a wholly reliable witness in view of the glaring contradictions and discrepancies in his evidence with regard to the motive for the appellant to commit the offence, the place of occurrence and manner of attack.In view of the foregoing discussion, neither the recorded conviction of the appellant nor the sentence awarded to him can be sustained and are liable to be set aside.The appeal succeeds and is accordingly allowed.The impugned judgment and order dated 15.9.2014 passed by Special Judge (E.C. Act)/Additional Sessions Judge, Moradabad in S.T. No. 1074 of 2012 (State Versus Babu Ram) is hereby set aside.

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

Shri S.S.Kushwaha, Advocate for the complainant.Learned counsel for the rival parties are heard.This is first application under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.At the outset, learned counsel for the complainant raised preliminary objection as to maintainability of this anticipatory bail application contending that applicants were required to remain present at the time of filing of Challan under section 326 of the IPC, but they chose to abscond and, accordingly, proceedings under section 299, Cr.P.C. have been initiated.As such arguments heard on merits of the prayer made on behalf of the applicants, who apprehend arrest in connection with Crime No.268/2018 registered at Police Station Kurwai, District Vidisha, for the offences punishable under sections 294, 323, 506, 34, 324, 325 and subsequently enhanced 326 of the IPC.Learned counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are already on bail in all the sections except S.326 IPC and have not misused the liberty so granted.

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

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

The case in hand also relates to one such unfortunate woman who became a victim of the aggression of her drunkard husband, who under the influence of alcohol went on to commit such horrendous act of burning his own wife.In the present case deceased was just 30 years of age and had a boy child of fourteen years from her first husband.She was attacked by accused when he came back home in a drunk condition.The exact prosecution story as it unfolds in the charge-sheet is as under:-"On 28.11.1987 at 5:50 p.m. an information was received from an unknown person through telephone PCR vide DD No. 41-B CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 2 of 27 that a lady has been burnt by pouring kerosene oil at 1?485, Khichripur colony, some officer be sent.On this information, after recording report of the same was sent to SI Dharmender Kumar through constable Om Prakash, who went to the spot and said SI was told at the spot that the lady Smt. Harjeet has been taken to hospital, SI tried to ascertain the hospital and in the meantime, at 07:25 p.m. vide DD No.15, constable Jai Prakash was informed from safdurjung hospital on telephone that Smt. Harjeet has been admitted in the hospital in the burnt condition.On this S.I reached safdurjung hospital and received MLC No.69629 pertaining to injured Smt. Harjeet.The SI seeing the condition took the SDM, Shadhra, Shri Parimal Rai and reached the hospital.Inviting the attention of this Court to the deposition of PW4-Dharmender who is son of the deceased from her previous marriage, counsel for the appellant submitted that this witness in his examination-in-chief clearly stated that the appellant was having cordial relationship with his mother and no quarrel took place between his mother and the accused.He also deposed that he did not witness any incident of quarrel or threatening by accused to his mother.He also deposed that when he returned to the house he did not see the accused Wilson present at the house.The contention raised by the counsel for the appellant was that this witness was the son of the deceased from her previous marriage and had the accused been involved in the commission of the said crime then at least this witness would have strongly supported the prosecution case instead of coming to the rescue of the appellant.My son, who is from my previous husband, is about 16 years of age.Wilson used to beat me.Earlier I used to CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 9 of 27 reside at Jahangir Puri.Wilson wanted to get rid of me.Even about two weeks back, Wilson had made an attempt to burn me after pouring kerosene oil on me as well as on him and today also he threatened to put an end to my life.It has happened in the evening.The history of assault as is recorded in the MLC would also be relevant and the same is reproduced as under:-"Alleged history of sustaining burns at about 4.30 p.m. on 28.11.1987 at her house in Block No.9, Khichripur, New Delhi, when her husband came home drunk and started abusing her.Then he allegedly poured kerosene oil over her and set her on fire with a matchstick.She rushed out of the house shouting when her neighbour came and poured water over her and brought to hospital.O/E GC critical, smell of kerosene oil.sh Patient fully conscious, oriented.Pulse not palpable CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 10 of 27 Heart rate - 40/ min Resp.rate - 28/ min Tough dug, week veins, collapsed, capitrany ratio poor dehydration & Rest crs & Resp.system NAB L/E Fresh superficial to deep burns over whole of the body except back of head, both treada Part of both lower limbs & groin 85% burns"CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 10 of 27The MLC also records that the patient was fully conscious and oriented.It further records that the burn injuries suffered by the victim were over 85% and also that the general condition of the victim was critical and smell of kerosene oil was coming from her body.The said MLC was proved on record as Ex. PW-21/A in the testimony of PW-21, Mr. J.B. Bhardwaj, Medical Record Technician of Safdarjung hospital."There are 2nd degree deep burns (... over the face), 3rd degree burn over neck all around, chest & abdomen all around except back of the left forearm, all around the right thighs, portem medical aspect of left thighs and back of both legs.....all around CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 11 of 27 both upper .mere is ___________________ cut open on the left __________ and evidence of vital reaction.Scalp hair show signing at margins.KAILASH GAMBHIR, J.By this appeal filed under Section 374 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (hereinafter referred to as Cr.P.C), the appellant herein seeks to challenge the judgment and order dated 30.09.1999 and 01.10.99 respectively passed by the Court of Ld.Additional Sessions Judge, Shahdara, Delhi, thereby convicting the appellant for committing an offence under Section 302 of India Penal Code, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as IPC) and sentencing him to undergo imprisonment for life CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 1 of 27 together with fine of Rs. 2,000/- and in default thereof to undergo further rigorous imprisonment for a period of one year.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 1 of 27Crime against women is not just a crime against an individual but against humanity that makes one lose its faith in humans and relationships.These days it has become a routine affair.Not even a day passes when unspeakable crimes like rape, murder, bride burning etc are not committed against women.This violence is not just restricted to the streets or alleys; but it often travels through the walls and into one's house.There is no empathy left even towards a women living with a man after marriage for several years under the same roof.A separate permission to record the statement of the victim was sought by the police vide application dated 28.11.1987 on which the doctor made the endorsement to the effect "patient is fit to give statement" allegedly at 08:30 p.m. in the dying declaration made to the SDM, the victim named her husband as offender.On the statement of the victim a case was registered under Section 307 IPC."CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 2 of 27After supplying the copies of the charge sheet to the accused as per law, case was committed to the Court of Sessions.Arguments on the point of charge were heard and charge under section 302 IPC was framed against the accused, to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.To CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 3 of 27 prove its case, the prosecution had examined 25 witnesses.The statement of accused was recorded by the learned Trial Court under Section 313 Cr.P.C. and the accused pleaded his innocence and false implication.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 3 of 27Addressing arguments on behalf of the appellant, Ms. Jaspreet Gogia, Advocate, vehemently contended that the appellant has been falsely implicated in the present case based on an uncorroborated and unreliable dying declaration of the deceased.Counsel for the appellant also argued that at the time of the incident even the appellant was not present at the house and therefore, also the appellant could not have committed the said crime.Making a serious challenge on the credibility of the alleged dying declaration made by the deceased, the counsel for the appellant contended that as per the MLC proved on CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 4 of 27 record, the deceased had suffered 85% burn injuries over whole of her body and even her both the lips and hands were also burnt and therefore, such a condition of the deceased could not have permitted her to give such a lengthy statement to the SDM or to affix thumb mark on the dying declaration.Counsel for the appellant also argued that even the SDM did not satisfy himself before recording the statement as to whether she was in a sound condition to give her statement or not.Counsel for the appellant further submitted that even no fitness certificate was obtained from the doctor certifying that the deceased remained conscious, oriented and mentally alert till the end of recording of her statement.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 4 of 27Placing reliance on a judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Surender Kumar v. State of Haryana reported in 2011 (10) SCC 173, counsel for the appellant submitted that ratio of this judgment is squarely applicable to the facts of the present case, as in the facts of the said case also, the dying declaration made by the deceased did not carry a certificate by the Executive Magistrate to the effect that it was a voluntary statement made by the deceased and that he had read over the statement to her.Counsel for the appellant also apprised the Court that the appellant had already undergone more than 7 years of incarceration for an offence CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 6 of 27 which he had never committed and is presently leading a happy married life with his wife along with three children.Counsel for the appellant also submitted that the wife of the appellant who is about 38 years of age is suffering from Cancer, Carcinoma Cervix III B and presently she is undergoing Chemo Therapy involving huge expenses and besides his ailing wife, the appellant has also to look after his old aged mother.Based on the above submissions, counsel for the appellant prayed for acquittal of the appellant.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 6 of 27Mr. Sunil Sharma, learned APP for the State, on the other hand fully supported the reasoning given by the learned Trial Court in convicting the appellant under Section 302 IPC and as per him, the same does not warrant any interference by this Court in exercise of its appellate powers.Learned APP for the State submitted that the dying declaration in the present case was recorded by the Magistrate and there is no reason to challenge the credibility and independence of the Magistrate, in truthfully and correctly recording the last statement of the deceased.Learned CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 7 of 27 APP for the State also argued that in the post mortem report of the deceased, proved on record as Ex.PW-20/A, there is no mention about the hands of the deceased being affected by any burn injuries, and therefore, the deceased could have easily affixed her thumb mark on the dying declaration proved on record as Ex.PW-15/A. Learned APP for the State also argued that even the appellant had also received burn injuries on the back side of his right hand, and therefore, he cannot set up the plea of alibi that he was not present at the time of the commission of the crime.Learned APP for the State has drawn attention of this Court to the MLC of the appellant proved on record as Ex.PW-19/A. Based on the above submissions, learned APP for the State prayed for upholding the order of conviction and sentence passed by the learned Trial Court.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 7 of 27We have heard learned counsel for the parties at a considerable length.We have also gone through the Trial Court record before taking a final view in the matter.In the present case, deceased Smt. Harjeet was unsuccessful in her first marriage, which had taken place about 15 years ago with one Mr. Ram Narain.A son, namely, Dharmender was born out of her first wedlock and she was devoting her life in the upbringing of her son.The CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 8 of 27 present accused entered in her life and without formally marrying the deceased as per their customs and traditions, they started living together as husband and wife.On the evening of 28th November, 1987, she was allegedly burnt by the present accused after some quarrel had taken place between them.The deceased was rushed to Safdarjung hospital in the burnt condition where her dying declaration was recorded by the Sub Divisional Magistrate and on 30.11.1987 she succumbed to burn injuries .The text of the said dying declaration is reproduced as under:-CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 8 of 27"My husband Wilson had returned back in the drunken condition, immediately thereafter he started quarrelling.He asked me to go away from the house, at which, I retorted that it is you only who repeatedly moves out of the house and why I should leave.He had vigorously fought with me and thereafter angrily he had poured kerosene oil on me and said that if I do not leave then he will eliminate me.He thereafter with the help of match box ignited fire.Wilson is resident of Jallandhar.This was my second marriage.About 15-16 years have passed after my first marriage.His name was Ram Narain.He left me about 12-13 years back from today.Since for the past 4 years I started living with Wilson.I did not marry him as per customs and tradition.He burnt me with the intention to kill me.He should be apprehended and not allowed to run away.The said dying declaration was recorded by the Sub Divisional Magistrate at about 08:45 p.m. in the Safdarjung hospital.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 9 of 27The MLC also records the name of Mrs. Bohti, mother of the deceased, who had accompanied the deceased at the time of her admission in the hospital.PW-20, Dr. L.T. Ramani, Lok Nayak hospital, Delhi, had conducted the post mortem of the deceased.As per the post mortem report proved on record as Ex.PW-20/A, the deceased had suffered the following burn injuries on her person:No smell of kerosene oil is directed in the scalp hair.There is no other mark of violence on the body"CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 11 of 27In the present case, the counsel for the appellant first challenged the credibility and truthfulness of the said dying declaration made by the deceased.The Counsel for the appellant contended that the dying declaration made by the deceased is uncorroborated and unreliable and therefore the conviction of the accused cannot be made solely on the basis of said dying declaration.Apparently, the deceased was admitted in the hospital at 07:25 p.m. on 28th November.At 08:30 p.m. the police officer made an application to the Doctor, requesting him to allow the recording of statement of the victim.The said application made by the police officer is proved on record as Ex.PW-24/A. On the application made by the police officer, Dr. Ankur Sarkar made an endorsement (Ex.PW-25/F), stating that the victim is fit to make the statement.Thereafter, the SDM recorded the statement of the victim, which concluded at 08:45 p.m. PW-15, Shri Parimal Rai in his court deposition fully supported the said facts.He deposed that before recording the statement of Harjeet, police had obtained the opinion of doctor as to CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 12 of 27 whether Harjeet was fit to make statement or not and on which doctor opined her to be fit to make statement at about 8.30 PM.He further deposed that he finished recording the statement of the victim at about 8.45 PM.The evidence of this witness remained uncontroverted as he was not cross-examined by the defence.From the above factual matrix, it is clear that the dying declaration was recorded immediately after the victim was admitted in the hospital and after the fitness certificate was obtained from the concerned doctor.Thus the chances of it being embellished or tutored do not arise.Further a dying declaration made by a person on the verge of his death has a special sanctity as at that solemn moment a person is most unlikely to make any untrue statement.The shadow of impending death is by itself guarantee of the truth of the statement of the deceased regarding circumstances leading to his death.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 12 of 27It shall also be noted that the SDM is an independent and an impartial witness.It will be useful here to refer the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex Court in Harjit Kaur V. State of Punjab , 1999 (3) RCR (Cri) 700, wherein the Court took a view that Sub Divisional Magistrate, being an independent witness holding high position had no reason to do anything which was not proper and therefore genuineness of dying CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 13 of 27 declaration recorded by him could not be easily doubted and conviction recorded on that basis could not be faulted with.The germane portion of the judgment is extracted below:CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 13 of 27It was submitted by the learned counsel for the appellants that about hundred persons had approached the District Magistrate for getting the Dying Declaration of Parminder Kaur recorded and that some of the relative of the deceased had even accompanied the S.D.M. (P.W.-7) while he was going to the hospital for recording her Dying Declaration.He also submitted that the evidence of this witness discloses that three to four persons were present in the room where Parminder Kaur was kept.According to the learned counsel these two circumstances clearly indicate that P.W. 7 had recorded the Dying Declaration under pressure and in presence of those persons who were interested in Parminder Kaur.We do not find any substance in this contention because this witness has categorically stated in his Examination-in-Chief that when he was recording her statement, nobody was present in the room and even the Nurse attending on her was asked to get out of that room.What he has stated in cross examination is that when he had reached that place, three or four persons were seen sitting in the room.Therefore, it is not correct to say that the Dying Declaration was recorded in presence of some relatives of the deceased.The other circumstances that there was an agitation by the relatives of Parminder Kaur for recording her statement cannot lead to an inference that P.W.-7, who was an I.A.S. Officer and holding high position of Sub-Divisional Magistrate had recorded it under pressure and as desired by the relatives of the deceased.There was no reason for him to do so.As regards the condition of Parminder Kaur, the witness has stated that he had first ascertained from the doctor whether she was in a fit condition to make a statement and obtained an endorsement to that effect.Merely because that endorsement was made not on the Dying Declaration itself but on the application, that would not render the Dying Declaration CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 14 of 27 suspicious in any manner.The said endorsement made by the Doctor was produced by him and it has become evidence in the case.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 14 of 27It was further submitted by the learned counsel that the statement of Parminder Kaur was not recorded by the witness in question and answers form.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 18 of 27In the present case at 08:30 p.m. the police officer made an application to the Doctor, requesting him to allow the recording of statement of the victim.The said application made by the police officer is proved on record as Ex.PW-24/A. On the application made by the police officer, CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 19 of 27 Dr. Ankur Sarkar made an endorsement (Ex.PW-25/F) stating that the victim is fit to make the statement.The plea therefore succeeds only if it is shown that the accused was so far away at the relevant time that he could not be present at the place where the crime was committed.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 24 of 27 Apparently, the accused has not placed anything on the record to show that at the time of the alleged incident he was not present at the place of the incident or that he was present at some other place so far away from the place of the incident that he could not be present at the place of incident at the same time.Apart from this, the evidence placed on record clearly show the presence of the accused at the place of incident, at the alleged time, as history of assault as is recorded in the MLC of the accused (Ex.PW-19/A) is "alleged injury sustained in saving his wife on 28.11.1987".Further it is pertinent to note that none of these witnesses were present on the spot at the relevant time, thus they cannot state any fact as to what would have had happened at the time when the accused burnt his own wife and had these witnesses not turned hostile, the evidence of all these witnesses, at its best, could have supported the case of prosecution only to the extent that it could prove the relation between the accused and the deceased.Thus even if these witnesses have turned hostile, their evidence will in no way affect the prosecution version that on the alleged day, the accused had burnt his own wife.CRL.A. 634/1999 Page 25 of 27In the light of the aforesaid discussion we find ourselves fully satisfied that the said dying declaration was made by the deceased voluntarily and truthfully, free from any kind of tutoring or prompting, and it was duly recorded by the SDM.There lies no merit in the present appeal.

2 Cr. A. No.427/2008The prosecution story in brief is that in the intervening night of 14th and 15th November, 2005 one Vijay informed the complainant Bhimrao that the appellant committed murder of Vinod.Hence, the complainant Bhimrao and his family members went to the house of appellant situated at Panchsheel Nagar and found that Vinod was lying dead.One Anil Tatya was also present there, who has been assaulted by the appellant.He informed that the appellant killed Vinod by inflicting blows of stone on his head.Bhimrao lodged the FIR at Police Station, T.T. Nagar, Bhopal.The trial Court framed charges under Sections 302 and 307 of the IPC and Section 3(2)(v) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The appellant abjured guilt and claimed to be tried.The trial Court relied the testimonies of injured eye-witnesse Anil (PW-5) and eye-witness Vijay (PW-4).The appellant called him and directed to bring some goods.When Vinod objected for the same, the appellant abused him.He caught hold his collar of the deceased and threatened him.They separated them.Thereafter, Vinod and his friends came to drop him in the house.The house of appellant was adjacent to the house of Vinod.The appellant again abused them.After investigation, charge sheet has been filed against the appellant for the offences under Sections 302 and 307 of the IPC.It was held that the ocular evidence of aforesaid witnesses was corroborated by Dr. M.S. Khan (PW-11) and Dr. D.S. Badkur (PW-2).Hence, the appellant was convicted for offences punishable under Sections 302 and 324 of the IPC and sentenced as mentioned above.The accused challenging the findings of learned trial Court on the grounds that the prosecution witnesses Vijay (PW-4) and Anil (PW-5) had good relations with the deceased Vinod.The trial Court wrongly ignored 3 Cr. A. No.427/2008 the material contradiction or omission in the prosecution evidence.Hence, the appellant has prayed to set aside the impugned judgment and further prayed for his acquittal from the charges levelled against him.3 Cr. A. No.427/2008We have heard learned counsel for both the parties and perused the record.We have perused the record and by carefully scanning the statements of Anil (PW-5) and Vijay (PW-4), we find that at the time of incident, their presence on the spot is quite natural and reliable.Vijay (PW-4) was cousin brother of the deceased.He has stated that, on the date of incident i.e. on 14 th November, 2005 at about 9:00-9:30 p.m. he was standing near the STD shop along with Vinod (since deceased) and 2-3 other boys.Pankaj and Lalit tried to settle their quarrel.Thereafter, the deceased and appellant both had collected Rs.100/- for drinking liquor.Vijay (PW-4) further deposed that he came back to his home for sleeping.At about 1:30-2:00 am in the midnight, the appellant threw stone on his door.When Vijay came to his door, he saw that Anil (PW-5) was 4 Cr. A.

Khan (PW-12), all the above injuries were caused by hard and blunt object.Therefore, above medical evidence are duly supported the prosecution story.There is no inconsistency in ocular evidence and medical evidence.Hence, we find that the prosecution has duly proved the case against the appellant beyond reasonable doubt.Generally, at about 1:30-2:00 a.m., in the midnight, at the time of incident, an independent witness is not available.to 8 cm.Due to such injuries, the deceased sustained two fractures on his head.One was about 8 cm.x 1 cm.and another was depressed fracture about 6 cm.x 4 cm.over both ear.In injury no.6, the base of skull was also found broken.All the injuries were inflicted on vital part of the deceased.Force was used by the appellant with intention to kill the deceased.He used a heavy stone for assaulting the deceased.Then, he proceeded to the spot at Panchsheel Nagar.On the spot, he registered Dehatinalishi Ex.P/1 as per information given by Bhimrao.N.K. Saxena (PW-13) prepared spot map Ex.P/2, which undisputedly indicated that incident took place at the house of the appellant.On 15.11.2005 he recorded the statements of Vijay (PW-4) and Anil (PW-5).On the same day, he seized the stone, knife on the basis of memorandum (Ex.P/7) of the appellant.These articles were found stained on the blood.He prepared seizure memo (Ex.P/15)."Evidence of police personnel were made recovery witnesses.Their evidence is reliable and cannot be discarded even though large number of people were available."12 Cr. A. No.427/2008In our opinion, case of the appellant clearly comes under the purview of murder, for the offence punishable under Section 302 of the IPC.The trial Court has rightly convicted the appellant for the same.On the basis of the aforesaid discussion, the appeal has no merit to interfere in the impugned judgment.Copy of this judgment be sent to the trial Court along with its record for information.

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

Accused Sanjeev Sawhney (respondent herein) preferred a revision petition No.41/2013 impugning the order on charge.The learned ASJ vide impugned order dated 15th October, 2015 discharged him.Feeling aggrieved by the order on discharge now the State is in revision with a prayer to set aside the order passed by learned ASJ and direct the respondent Sanjeev Sawhney to face trial in the above noted case.5. Heard.On behalf of the State it has been submitted that material on record was prima facie sufficient to charge the respondent herein for committing the offences.Hence the impugned order may be set aside.On behalf of the respondent, Mr.Sahil Malik, Advocate while supporting the order passed by learned ASJ, submitted that the belated Crl.P.No.39/2015 Page 2 of 7 statement made under Section 161 Cr.P.C. by the complainant was nothing but an afterthought and being inadmissible in evidence, could not have formed basis to charge the respondent herein.P.No.39/2015 Page 2 of 7I have perused the chargesheet and statements under Section 161 Cr.P.C. annexed with the revision petition filed by the State.After hearing all the accused persons on charge, learned CMM, Central District dealt with the accusations against the respondent Sanjeev Sawhney in para No.21 of the order on charge as under:-Thereafter, learned CMM has dealt with the accusations against all the accused persons for the offence punishable under Sections 467/468/471 IPC and formed an opinion that the simple allegations about recovery of blank Crl.P.No.39/2015 Page 3 of 7 visa and fake visa stickers from the possession of Co-accused Vipin Sharma, Aman Alam and Bhupinder Singh was not sufficient to charge them for the offence punishable under Sections 467/468/471 IPC.P.No.39/2015 Page 3 of 7The respondent herein Sanjeev Sawhney impugned the order on charge before the learned ASJ.The revision petition has been allowed by the learned ASJ mainly for the following reasons:-Apart from his identification by the complainant, the prosecution has also collected evidence to establish that co-accused Vipin Sharma made part of payment to Sanjeev Sawhney through office of Paul Merchant at Chandigarh.This led to seizure of cash book, day book, ledger and other relevant documents of Chandigarh & Delhi office of Paul Merchant were collected.The investigating agency on scrutiny of documents noticed that an Crl.P.No.39/2015 Page 6 of 7 amount of ` one lakh was deposited on 6th February, 2004 at Paul Merchant office, Chandigarh for Sanjeev Sawhney and the same amount was collected by accused Sanjeev Sawhney on 9th February, 2004 at Delhi office of Paul Merchant.P.No.39/2015 Page 6 of 7Copy of the order be given dasti to the parties, as prayed.

M.C. No.3295/2014 Page 1 of 7A copy of the Decree Sheet has also been annexed with the petition.Through Mr. P. K. Mishra, Additional Public Prosecutor.Sub Inspector Sonu Ram.Ms. Nazoo Sharma, Advocate for R2 with R2 in person.HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SUDERSHAN KUMAR MISRA % SUDERSHAN KUMAR MISRA, J.(Oral)This petition has been filed under Section 482 of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 seeking quashing of FIR No.135/2011, registered under Sections 406/498-A/34 IPC on 19.04.2011 at police station Vijay Vihar, on the ground that the parties have amicably settled the matter.The petitioners as well as the complainant, all of whom are present in person, are also identified by the Investigating Officer, Sub Inspector Sonu Ram.It is stated that the complainant was married to the first petitioner Tapeshwar Singh on 27.11.2009 and thereafter, as a result of certain matrimonial disputes, the complainant lodged a complaint on 10.08.2010 with the Crime Against Women Cell, Nanakpura, Delhi, and ultimately, on 19.04.2011, on the recommendation of the Crime Against Women Cell, the Crl.M.C. No.3295/2014 Page 1 of 7 aforesaid FIR was registered.If the parties ponder over their defaults and terminate their disputes amicably by mutual agreement instead of fighting it out in a court of law, in order to do complete justice in the matrimonial matters, the courts should be less hesitant in exercising their extraordinary jurisdiction.It is trite to state that the power under Section 482 should be exercised sparingly and with circumspection only when the Court is convinced, on the basis of material on record, that allowing the proceedings to continue would be an abuse of process of court or that the ends of justice require that the proceedings ought to be quashed...."M.C. No.3295/2014 Page 6 of 7I am of the considered opinion that the matter deserves to be given a quietus where the parties have settled the matter on mutually acceptable terms, and the complainant and the first petitioner have obtained a divorce by mutual consent; and the complainant is no longer interested in supporting the prosecution, thereby reducing the chances of its success.Under the circumstances, the petition is allowed, FIR No.135/2011, registered under Sections 406/498-A/34 IPC on 19.04.2011 at police station Vijay Vihar, and all proceedings emanating therefrom, are hereby quashed.The petition is disposed off.12. Dasti.

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

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

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

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

Ka-2).He had also prepared the G.D. No. 34 at 3.45 p.m. on 4.4.1999 ( Ext. Ka-3).Special report was dispatched through constable Udhao Singh.He copied the chik report and reached at the place of occurrence and recorded the statement of complainant and S.I. Rasheed Ahmad, prepared the inquest reports of Surya Narain Shukla alias Vakil Shukla, Devi Shanker Dubey and Shesh Mani Rai, on his dictation.On the same day he prepared the site plan, recorded the statements of witnesses prepared recovery memos of plain and blood stained earth, Raxine of the car etc.The eye witnesses are mentioned in his statement.Prior to reaching at the place of occurrence Chik F.I.R. was with the Investigating Officer.There is overwhelming evidence to prove that the F.I.R. was registered at the alleged time.There is direct testimony of P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari to prove that informant (Rakesh Kumar Pandey) had prepared the first information report 40 steps away from the place of occurrence and at that time thousand of persons had collected near the dead body.The G.D. Ext. Ka-3 shows that informant and P.W. 4 had come to the police station and their injuries are also mentioned in the G.D. The enclosures which were sent alongwith the inquest report shows that chik was also sent alongwith the inquest report.The testimony of P.W. 9 Devi Prasad Pandey shows that he had escorted the dead body to the mortuary for the post mortem examination.He stated that dead bodies were handed over to him at 6.30 or 7 p.m. and he was given a copy of the F.I.R. and other papers for the post mortem.His testimony remained unchallenged.The first information report shows the seal and signature of the doctor who had received the papers alongwith the dead bodies for the post mortem examination.One more important circumstance is that the post mortem examinations was conducted same nigh on the direction of the District Magistrate.In our view the first information report is registered at the alleged time and it is promptly lodged.The occurrence took place at 3 p.m. and written report is lodged at 3.45 p.m. The distance of the police station from the place of occurrence is one km. It is significant to mention that criminal courts attach great importance to the prompt lodging of the report because the same substantially eliminate the possibility of embellishments and concoction creeping in the prosecution story.The other submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that according to the prosecution case first information report was registered at 3.45 p.m. and both the injured, namely, Rakesh Kumar Pandey and P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey were sent for medical examination through constable Nathuni Lal but there is long gap between the medical examination of P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey and complainant Rakesh Kumar Pandey.P.W. 6 Dr. A.K. Pandey had examined Prem Shanker Dubey on 4.4.1999 at 5.25 p.m. whereas Rakesh Kumar Pandey, complainant was examined by P.W. 7 Dr. L.S. Mishra at 8.15 p.m. both the injured were brought to the P.H.C. by constable Nathuni Lal who has not been examined in the case.The counsel for the appellant submits that this delay is due to the fact that the informant did not receive any injury in the occurrence and he was called after the occurrence and thereafter his injuries were manufactured and Dr. L.S. Misra was not on duty on the said date and he was deliberately called to examine the complainant and manufactured his injuries.The injury report suggests that injuries of P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey were bleeding therefore, he immediately went for medical examination.The presence of informant is proved at the time of occurrence.He had signed all the inquest reports as an inquest witness.His statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. was recorded by the investigating officer.P.W. 13 V.P. Misra prior to preparation of inquest reports.The dead bodies were dispatched at 6.30 - 7 p.m. Thereafter informant was medically examined by the doctor.There cannot be any doubt that his injuries are manufactured by the doctor and he was not present at the time of occurrence.This submission has no force and is rejected.Another submission of the learned counsel for the appellant is that if the F.I.R. was in existence at the alleged time and the names of the eye witnesses were known to the investigating officer then why the statement of eye witnesses was recorded next day.It is further submitted that the investigating officer had recorded the statement of P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari as a witness of inquest and his statement was not recorded as an eye witness.He was available on the same day.It is further submitted that P. W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari stated that he told about the occurrence to the investigating officer but P.W. 13 V.P. Mishra states that he did not disclose about the occurrence same day.If the first information report was available and his name finds place as an eye witness then his statement should have been recorded by the investigating officer.We have considered the submission of the counsel.In the instant case the occurrence took place on a busy G.T. Road at 3 p.m. and the report of the occurrence was lodged at 3.45 p.m. Thereafter the investigating officer had copied the chik, recorded the statement of informant, thereafter he prepared the inquest proceeding of three dead bodies.He also recorded the statements of inquest witnesses.There was also urgency in the post mortem which was conducted same night on the direction of the District Magistrate and the statements of these witnesses have been recorded next day.It is not disputed that prior to the preparation of inquest reports, statement of informant was recorded, Chik F.I.R. was also available with the investigating officer which was also dispatched as an enclosure No. 2 with the inquest report for the post mortem alongwith the dead bodies.There is no force in this submission that only on account of delay in recording of 161 Cr.P.C. statement on the next day it can be said that the F.I.R. was not in existence and P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dubey and P.W. 5 Ram Dutt Mishra were not eye witnesses.We reject this submission of learned counsel for the appellants.The F.I.R. was registered at the alleged time chithi mazroobi of the informant and injured P.W. 4 Prem Shanker Dube was prepared and chik and F.I.R. was handed over to the investigating officer who had recorded 161 Cr.P.C. statement of informant Rakesh Kumar Pandey and completed the inquest reports of the dead bodies and other formalities with regard to investigation.There is no such delay in recording of 161 Cr.P.C. statement to caste any doubt that these witnesses are got up witnesses.Next submission of learned counsel for the appellant is that P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari and P.W. 5 Ram Dutt Mishra are chance and partisan witnesses and their testimonies should be rejected.There can be no doubt that P.W. 1 and P.W. 2 can be said to be chance witnesses.Their residences are a furlong or two away from the scene of occurrence.The story of P.W. 1 that he closed the shop earlier than usual is difficult to believe because he does not assign any reason for so doing.The allegation that respondent Chander Mohan's complaint was first in point of time but was registered later cannot be lightly brushed aside.It is also surprising that P.W. 1 preferred to write down the complaint on the spot rather than run down 100 paces to the police station to inform the police.P.W. 1 was asked to explain this conduct and he stated that he preferred to write down the complaint "as I had doubt that the police will not pay any heed and will not take down the report correctly.There was no reason for P.W. 1 to entertain such a doubt.He does not say that he had any such experience in the past.Both the deceased had a criminal record and were history sheeters.Several complaints were pending against Ram Shanker.He must be having many enemies.The defence case is that some of their common enemies got together and killed them and P.W. 1 was not present but who came later filed the report on the basis of the morning incident.Be that as it may, the fact, remains that the genesis of the crime is suppressed and no witness from the locality whose presence would be natural is examined which creates a doubt regarding the truth of the prosecution version.As to the presence of P.Ws. 4 and 5 at the time and place of occurrence the trial court entertained grave doubts.If by coincidence or chance a person happens to be at the place of occurrence at the time it is taking place, he is called a chance witness.And if such a person happens to be a relative or friend of the victim or inimically disposed towards the accused then his being a chance witness is viewed with suspicion.Such a piece of evidence is not necessarily incredible or unbelievable but does required cautious and close scrutiny.In the instant case, P.W.s 4 and 5 were agnatic relations of the deceased, one of them a close one.The reason given by them for being at the place of occurrence did not appear to be true to the trial court.There was not any compelling or sufficient reason for the High Court to differ from the evaluation of the evidence of the two chance witnesses.It may well be as remarked by the High Court that the respondent was also their collateral but they appeared to be partisan witnesses on the side of the prosecution and hence their testimony was viewed with suspicion by the trial judge.We find from the judgment of the Sessions Court that P.W. 2 admitted that there are two rival factions and he filed an application against the accused in the year 1976 for binding over them and consequently proceedings were launched against the accused and that there were certain other instances which would show that P.W. 2 was inimical towards the accused.Further, there is some force in the submission of the learned counsel for the appellant that P.W. 2 appears to be a chance witness.He deposed that he went to this particular field which is away from his house to answer the call of nature.On his being a chance witness it is necessary have a closer scrutiny of his evidence.Coming to the medical evidence of P.W. 2 is to the effect that all the other four accused dealt blows with sticks.It is pointed out in number of cases by this court when the case rests on the sole testimony of the single witness, the same should be wholly reliable.We find in the instant case that P.W. 2 is not only an interested witness but the version given by him is highly doubtful apart from the fact he being a chance witness.If we do so then we notice that on the date of incident he had gone to a village Upli for some work.From there he came back by bus at about 11 'O clock.He then allegedly went to the village to meet Ram Rakh where he was told by his wife that the latter had gone to the field.It is the prosecution case itself that the distance between the field of Ram Rakh and the village is about 4-5 miles and P.W. 6 covered that distance on foot and when he reached near the field of Ram Rakh he heard a quarrel and when he went towards the place of quarrel he saw the appellant attack the deceased with an axe.It is his further case that when he reached near the deceased the appellant ran away.It is at this point of time he states that he got scared and he took a different route than the one he took on the way and reached the village at about 4 or 4.15 p.m. It is his case that when he went to the house of Ram Rakh he could not find him therefore he came near the village square where he met P.W. 2 Khyali Ram.From the above evidence of P.W. 6 it is apparent that though there were persons available on his way back, he did not inform anybody about the incident.Even when he reached the village and met Ram Rakh's wife he did not inform her about the incident and it is for the first time he informs about this incident to P.W. 2 at the village square at about 4.15 p.m. Contrary to what he stated in the examination-in-chief that he saw only one assault on the deceased, in the cross examination he stated that he saw the appellant attack the deceased twice and both the injuries were caused in his presence.The prosecution has not found how P.W. 14 came to know of the incident.In this background if we appreciate the evidence of P.W. 6 we notice the fact that he is purely a chance witness whose presence at the place of the incident is highly doubtful.His conduct too seems to be unnatural in not informing anyone else in the village until he met Khyali Ram at the village square.Though the distance is about 30 miles from the place of incident, the complainant had the facility of using the tractors available in the village and they did use the same for travelling to the police station.In such circumstances this unexplained long delay also creates a doubt in our mind as to the genuineness of the prosecution case.The judgment and order of conviction of the two courts below are set aside.The appellant is acquitted of the charge framed against him.In the present case the evidence of P.W.1 shows that on 4.4.1999 he was coming from Vindhyachal and when he reached at the Trisection of G.T. Road Gopiganj he heard some shots.Me was accompanied by Mukund Lal and Ram Dutt Mishra.5 ram Dutt Mishra also stated that he was returning from Vindhyachal and on his way back home he met Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari and he had taken lift on his motorcycle and he reached at the Trisection alongwith them.The occurrence took place on the G.T. Road.The testimonies of both the witnesses show that they had probablise their presence at the alleged place of occurrence.It is further submitted by learned counsel for the appellants that both the witnesses are partisan.It is suggested that both of them are deposing falsely only at the instance of Vijay Mishra M.L.As There is nothing on record to suggest that Vijay Mishra was instrumental in procuring these witnesses apart from the vague suggestion there is nothing on record to hold that these witnesses are deposing against the appellants on account of the influence of Vijay Mishra.Even it is not suggested to the witnesses that Vijai Misra was present at the place of occurrence or at the police station.The evidence of a. witness who is alleged to be a partisan or chance witness cannot be rejected solely on that ground and the law requires only a closer scrutiny of his testimony.We have carefully examined the testimonies of the witnesses The evidence of P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari shows that on 4.4.199 at about 3 p.m. he was present on the Trimuhani of G.T. road.He was coming from Vindhyachal alongwith Mukund Lal and P.W. 5 Ram Dutt Mishra on a motorcycle.His evidence shows that accused persons were armed with Gun, Rifles, 30 Carbine and Pistols and were firing at Ambassador car of Vakil Shukla, deceased.Shesh Marti deceased was driving the car and it collided with a roadway bus coming from Allahabad.Tehsildar Singh had exhorted to kill and the assailants came near the car and started firing.Rakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey were sitting on the back seat of the car.They came out of the car leaving the Rifle of Prem Shanker Dubey in the car which was taken away by Suresh Kumar Singh alias Jajjey Singh.They killed Vakil Shukla, Devi Shanker Dubey and Shesh Mani Rai inside the car.Thereafter they ran away in their Sumo and other vehicles.The motive as alleged is that there was some disputp with regard to contract work and Vakil Shukla shad also contested election of Zila Panchayat against Akbal Bahadur alias Atkoti Singh.The Rifle and Pistol of Vakil Shukla was left in the car.The first information report was lodged by Rakesh Kumar Pandey at 3.45 p.m. He identified the report which was written by Rakesh Kumar Pandey.The investigating officer had prepared the inquest reports of the deceased and he had also signed the same.His statement was recorded on the next day of the occurrence.We have carefully examined the evidence of this witness and in our opinion it is reliable and credible.His testimony is corroborated by the post mortem examination and also by the testimony of the investigating officer which clearly indicates that the deceased were done to death inside the car.The investigating officer had collected blood stained Raxine, shoes, broken pieces of car, empty cartridges and one Rifle and pistol of 9 mm of Surya Narain Shukla and prepared its recovery memo (Ext. Ka-26 to Ka-32).There is no dispute about the identity of the assailants as the occurrence took place in broad day light.The statement of this witness also shows that complainant Rakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey had received injuries while they were coming out of the car.G.D. entry Ext. Ka-3) shows that complainant Rakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey had received injuries and P.W. 2 Uma Shanker Pandey had prepared the 'chithi majroobi' and P.W. 7 Dr. L.S. Misra had medically examined Rakesh Kumar Pandey on 4.4.1994 at 8 15 p.m. and P.W. 6 Dr. A.K. Pandey had medically examined Prem Shanker Dubey on 4.4.1999 at 5.25 p.m. The counsel for the appellants submits that he is close associate of Vakil Shukla and he was also involved in a case of Arms Act alongwith him and he had started doing pairvi of this case after the death of informant.His testimony should be rejected on this ground.He did not avoid any uncomfortable question.He was subjected to extensive cross examination but nothing substantial could be extracted there from which could render either his presence at the place of incident or credibility suspect.His evidence shows that he has fully mentioned the essential features of the prosecution including time and place and of the incident, name of the assailants, names of the victims, manner of assault, name of the informant and motive for the murder.We have no hesitation after careful scrutiny of the evidence to place implicit reliance on his testimony.Another eye witness P.W. 5 is Ram Dutt Misra, His evidence, shows that on the date of occurrence at about 3 p.m. he was coming alongwith P.W. 1 Dangar Tewari from Vindhyachal.He stated that in the Ambassador Car of Vakil Shukla, Devi Shanker Dubey was sitting on the front seat and Shes

Gun
Pistol and Carbine.Tehsildar Singh was giving exhortation to kill them.The Ambassador Car collided with a Bus which was going towards Varanasi.After the accident Kakesh Kumar Pandey and Prem Shanker Dubey came out of the Car and while! they were coming out of the car they received some minor injury.The Rifle of Prem Shanker Dubey left in the car.Thereafter accused had surrounded the car and started indiscriminate firing as a result of which Vakil Shukla Devi shanker Dubey and Shesh Mani Rai died.One of the accused took away the Rifle of Prem Shanker Dubey and all the accused persons were raising slogan Har Har Mahadeo and thereafter they ran away in their Muruti
Motorcycle and on other vehicles towards Aural.His statement was also recorded by the investigating officer.He was also subjected to extensive cross examination but nothing substantial could be extracted there from.In our opinion he has fully explained his presence on the spot and there is nothing to suspect his credibility.He has no rancor or ill will against the appellants and in our opinion in the absence of the same he would not falsely implicated the accused.The court should be slow to act on the testimony of such a witness and normally
it should look for corroboration to his evidence.In the light of the above
we have carefully examined his testimony.He admitted that on the alleged date of occurrence he was sitting on the back seat of the car and he had a licensee Rifle alongwith him.He had admitted that when the car stopped he came out of the car and while doing so he received some injuries also.He does not remember whether his injuries were medically examined or not.He does not remember that Rakesh Kumar Pandey was also sitting with him.The testimony shows that he was present in the car alongwith his Rifle.His presence at the police station at the time of lodging of the report is mentioned in G.D. ( Ext. Ka-3) and he was medically examined by P.W. 6 Dr. A.K. Pandey who had examined him on 4.4.1999 at 5.25 p.m. and found two lacerated wounds.His testimony corroborates the version given by the two other eye witnesses.Both the witnesses have stated that Prem Shanker Dubey was sitting on the back seat and while he was coming out of the car he received injuries and his licensee Rifle was left in the car which was taken away by one of the accused.Thus the eye witness account of the case is fully supported by the investigation and the medical evidence on record.The post mortem reports of the deceased persons clearly indicate that all of them had received fire arm injuries from a close range and the place of occurrence is inside the car which is supported by the recoveries (Ext. Ka-26 to Ka-32).The investigating officer has also found dent in the car due to indiscriminate firing by the accused persons and he also made recovery of empty shells.The serologist report also confirms the presence of human blood on the Raxine.Learned counsel for the appellants challenged the findings of the trial court on the ground that participation of 14 persons is doubtful as the medical evidence does not corroborate this part of the evidence that assailants were 14 in number and they have indiscriminately fired.The case of the prosecution is that all the witnesses had witnessed that the assailants were chasing the car and were also firing at the car.The occurrence took place on a busy G.T. road.It is also mentioned that all the accused were firing.Large number of firing is corroborated by the twenty eight pellet marks mentioned by the investigating officer on the ear and it is also mentioned that only some of the pellets could be recovered.It is also noteworthy that the deceased and witnesses who were accompanying them were also armed.In view of this it cannot be said that large number of persons had not participated in the occurrence and this submission has no force.Learned counsel for the appellants had also submitted that one of the appellant Suresh Singh alias Jajjey Singh had moved an application for identification which was rejected on 11.6.1999 by the Magistrate
Learned counsel for the appellants submitted that Suresh Singly alias Jajjdy Singh
were not known to the witnesses prior to the occurrence
therefore
he moved an application for his identification.P.W. 5 did not mention anything about the theft of the Rifle
therefore
he was acquitted of this charge.The State has also not filed any appeal against their acquittal.Tehsildar Singh has been acquitted by the Sessions Judge also on the ground that his role was only of exhortation and there was some contradictions with regard to his place from where he has exhorted and the actual time of his exhortation.In view of this the names of Pintoo Singh alias Sandeep Singh Daroga Singh alias Shri Krishna Singh
Chhunni Singh alias Mata Prasad Singh and Prem Singh alias Prem Bahadur Singh have been disclosed by P.W. 1 Shiv Prasad alias Dangar Tewari for the first time in the court and as such absolute reliance cannot be placed on his statement."

No.1/State.This petition under section 482 of Cr.P.C. is filed seeking quashment of FIR and consequential proceedings of crime No. 106/2019 registered at Police Station Dehat Bhind, District Bhind alleging offence punishable u/Ss.307/34 of IPC against the petitioners.P.C, the relevant portion of which is reproduced below for ready reference and convenience :-In so far as the present case is concerned, the High Court has quashed the criminal proceedings for the offences under Sections 307 and 34 IPC mechanically and even when the investigation was under progress.Somehow, the accused managed to enter into a compromise with the complainant and sought quashing of the FIR on the basis of a settlement.The High Court has also failed to note the antecedents of the accused."In view of above, the present petition stands dismissed.
['Section 482 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 34 in The Indian Penal Code', 'Section 307 in The Indian Penal Code']

No costs.18.09.2020 Index: Yes/No Internet: Yes / No Speaking Order: Yes/No ar Note: Issue order copy on 24.11.2020http://www.judis.nic.in Page No.6 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 To:Page No.6 of 8The Deputy Superintendent of Police (Armed Reserve) Vellore.The Superintendent of Police, Vellore, Vellore District.The Deputy Inspector General of Police, Vellore Range, Vellore.Page No.7 of 8Page No.8 of 8The Writ Petition has been filed, challenging the order of the third respondent dated 23.09.2005 made in C.No.B/A 28/2005, which confirmed the order of the second respondent passed in Ref.H1(1) PR No.237/2004 dated 30.06.2005, whereby awarding the punishment of “Compulsory Retirement”http://www.judis.nic.in to the petitioner.The petitioner also sought a direction to the Page No.1 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 respondents to reinstate him with continuity of service and back wages together with all attendant benefits.Page No.1 of 8The case of the petitioner is that he, while in service, is said to have involved in a case of rape, alleging that he, having promised to marry a school going girl, married her relative without marrying the victim girl and based on the complaint given by the victim girl, a criminal case has been initiated, apart from initiation of departmental proceedings.It is further case of the petitioner that the criminal case foisted against the petitioner under Sections 417, 376 and 506(ii) IPC in Crime No.38 of 2004 on the file of All Women Police Station, Vellore, ended in acquittal, whereas in the departmental proceedings, he was awarded the punishment of Compulsory Retirement, despite his acquittal in the criminal case and the witnesses including the complainant turning hostile.It is also the case of the petitioner that he already married his relative on 10.09.2004 and that there is no iota of evidence to establish the charges under the Domestic Enquiry.The punishment imposed in the departmental enquiry was based on the contradictory statement made before the criminal Court and the order of compulsory retirement was issued on 30.06.2005 by the 2nd respondent, which has been confirmed by the 3rd respondent on 23.09.2005 on the erroneous ground, which need to be interfered with.It is stated that even assuming that the charges are established, the order of compulsory retirement is very harsh and this Court has to mould the relief and grant the relief, as the petitionerhttp://www.judis.nic.in Page No.2 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 was acquitted in the criminal case.Page No.2 of 8The 2nd respondent has filed a counter affidavit, stating that the petitioner was recruited as Police Constable on 09.06.1993 and that there were two complaints dated 14.09.2004 and 15.09.2004 lodged by one Kanthalakshmi (hereinafter referred to as 'the Victim Girl') and her mother respectively, alleging that the petitioner, under the pretext of marrying the Victim Girl, who was aged 17 years, took her to his house and had a sexual intercourse with her and later, instead of marrying her, married some other lady on 10.09.2004, that too while on medical leave in a hurried manner.It is further stated that a detailed enquiry has been conducted, apart from registering a criminal case in Crime No.38 of 2004 under various provisions of IPC stated supra and based on the complaint of the Victim Girl, departmental proceedings under Rule 3(b) of Tamil Nadu Police Subordinate Service (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1955 was also simultaneously taken.It is narrated in the counter affidavit that in the enquiry, it was proved that the petitioner used to pick up the Victim Girl from her house frequently and the other charge that he committed rape on her, has not been proved, whereas the charges levelled against him that he married his relative's girl while on medical leave on 10.09.2004 and he involved in a criminal case, have been duly proved.An enquiry report was submitted to the Disciplinary Authority and the Disciplinary Authority disagreed with the findings of the 1st respondent in respect of Charge No.1, while agreeing with other findings.Page No.3 of 8In the counter affidavit, it is described that the fact that the petitioner was moving with the Victim Girl was duly established and the act of the petitioner had totally spoiled the image of Police Force, which attracts Rule 23 of Tamil Nadu Subordinate Police Officers Conduct Rules, 1964 and if the petitioner is really innocent, there was no reason to marry his relative while on medical leave, after having promised to marry the Victim Girl and the said Victim Girl, in the departmental proceedings categorically stated that both the petitioner and she were moving voluntarily and he, under the pretext of going to temple, took her away from her house and had sexual intercourse with her under coercion and threat and later, betrayed her.It is further narrated in the counter affidavit that the mother of the victim girl deposed in the enquiry that she was informed by her daughter's teacher that her daughter confessed to her that she was raped by the petitioner and P.W.3, a colleague of the petitioner also deposed that he had seen the petitioner and the Victim Girl in front of his house in the Armed Reserve Quarters, where outsiders are prohibited and therefore, there is a convincing evidence about the close relationship between the petitioner and the Victim Girl, who has no business to visit the quarters of the petitioner andhttp://www.judis.nic.in Page No.4 of 8 W.P.No.40420 of 2005 since the preponderance of his guilt has been proved, the Writ Petition is liable to be dismissed.Page No.4 of 84. Heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the material documents available on recordThe Appellate Authority rightly came to the conclusion that the Victim Girl was a minor and the petitioner has, not only spoiled the life of the Victim Girl, but also the image of Police Force for his sexual lust and in order to get rid of the problem, he applied for Medical Leave and during that period, he suddenly married another girl.Several witnesses have given categorical evidence against the petitioner, which has been duly taken note of by the Appellate Authority and rightly upheld the order of the 2nd respondent, which, in the considered opinion of this Court does not warrant any interference by this Court.Page No.5 of 8Accordingly, finding no merits in the argument put forth on the side of the petitioner, the Writ Petition is dismissed.

M. N. Phadke and M. N. Shroff for respondent.The prosecution case against the appellant-accused maybriefly be stated thus : There is a Rosary Co-operativeHousing Society Ltd. in a suburb of Bombay, It owns abuilding having 48 flats of which 23 flats belong to thewell-known Tata concerns.Sir Dorabji Tata Trust holds 3flats out of these 23 flats.It appears that in view of thelarge number of flats held by the Tatas they wanted to havea representation on the managing committee of the societyand participate in its affairs.One R. D. Doongaji (PW1)was the General Secretary of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust apartfrom his, being a Legal Adviser to Tatas in their ShareDepartment; on and from November 6, 1964, he after beingelected, was working as a Chairman of the Managing Committeeof the Society.One K. N. Singh, Advocate (PW12) wasworking as the figure-head Secretary of the Society.TheSociety had a Bank account with Maharashtra State Co-operative Bank Ltd., which was operated jointly by Doongaji(PWI) and K. N. Singh (P.W. 12).One B. A. Sagar (PW2) wasworking as the Estate Manager of the Society from April 1,1967 and he retired due to old age with effect from December31, 1969, where after one Mathew Figrado (PW7) worked asEstate Manager.As Estate Manager, Sagar's duties were tocollect the monthly compensation at the rate of Rs. 100/-from each flat-bolder of the Society, to look after themaintenance of the-said building, to undertake-the repairsafter obtaining the oral sanction of the managing committeeand incur expenditure therefor either from the collection ofcompensation or from his own pocket, to draw his own salaryand the salary of the staff of the Society from suchcollections, and to hand over the balance to the HonoraryAccountant of the Society together with a statement 'ofaccount and vouchers, in respect of sundry expensesincurred.However, he was not allowed to spend more thanRs. 100/- at a time for carrying out the repairs to thebuilding.The appellant-accused,- who was working asAccounts Clerk in Sir Dorabji Tata Trust, was appointed byDoongaji (PWI) as an Honorary Accountant of the Society inMay 1966 and he worked in that capacity for the Society tillJuly 1, 1970 when his services were dispensed with.As anHonorary Accountant of the Society his duties inter aliawere to write and maintain the books of accounts (Cash-Book,ledger, journal and the voucher file), to receive amounts ofcompensation collected by the Estate Manager from themembers ,of the Society, to reimburse the Estate Manager bycheques for sundry expenses which the latter may haveincurred, to pay the municipal4 8 2taxes and to make other payments of bills again by chequesonly and that too after verifying from the minute book thatsuch payments had been sanctioned by the managing committeeof the Society and also to make payments by cheques onlyagainst the vouchers after satisfying himself about thegenuineness of the vouchers.According to the prosecutionin the month of December 1969 a proprietary firm M/s A. G.R. Patni & Co. had carried out a small job of clearing achoked pipe line of the storage tank of the Society and hadsubmitted its bill No. 49 dated December 14, 1969 for Rs.7.50 (Exh. 5 Colly.).It was received by Sagar (PW2) and wasordinarily required to be paid by him but it appears thatsince he was retiring at the end of December, 1969, he didnot disburse the amount to Patni but handed it over to theappellant-accused.According to the prosecution this bill(Ext.5 Colly.), when it was originally received and washanded over by Sagar (PW2) to the appellant-accused was, forRs.7.50, the identical amount being mentioned both infigures and words, but some time later it was interpolatedby adding the, figure of "160" before the figure "7"inflating the amount to Rs. 1607.50 in figures withoutaltering the amount in words; in other words, as altered thebill showed the amount as Rs. 1607.50 in figures but rupeesseven and fifty paise only in words.Further, according tothe prosecution, another document purporting to be a typedunstamped voucher-cum-receipt dated 3-4-1970 for Rs. 1607.50(Ext.5 colly.) connected with and related to aforesaidinterpolated and inflated bill purporting to bear thesignature of B. A. Sagar, Estate Manager (PW2) and theinitials of R. D. Doongaji, the Chairman of the ManagingCommittee (P.W.1), came into existence.The prosecution wasunable to say who had actually interpolated and inflated thebill No. 49 (Ext. 5 colly.) as also who had brought intoexistence the aforesaid voucher/.receipt (Ex. 5 colly.) onwhich forged signature of Sagar and forged initials ofDoongaji appeared.But the prosecution case was that theappellant accused fraudulently or dishonestly used asgenuine the said bin and the said typed voucher/receiptknowing or having reason to believe that these documentswere forged for the purpose of issuing a bearer cheque forthe said inflated amount and misappropriating the same.Theprosecution story was that for the sake of convenience andfacility of work a practice was followed in the Society thatat a 1 time about 8 to 10 blank cheques used to be signed byDoongaji (PW1) first and then by K. N. Singh (PW12) and thecheque-book containing such signed blank cheques used toremain in the custody of the appellant-accused and wheneverpayment was required to be made by cheque the appellantaccused used to write the body of the cheque in his own handand make the by issuing the same; that asregards bill No. 49 of Patni & Co appellant-accused in hiscapacity as Honorary Accountant on the basis of inflatedbill as well as the forged voucher/receipt (Ex. 5 colly.)made use of one of such blank cheques signed by Doongaji andSingh by issuing a bearer cheque No. 377137 dated 3-4-1970for Rs. 1607.50 in favour of Shivram A Lad (PW8), Peon inDorabji Tata Trust; that Lad withdrew the amount from theSociety's Bank at the instance of the appellant-accused andhanded it over to him, which the appellant-'4 83accused dishonestly misappropriated.Thus, according to the prosecution, the appellant-accused on or about April 3, 1970 dishonestly used asgenuine two forged documents, namely, the bill No. 49 datedDecember 14, 1969 as well as the voucher/receipt dated April3, 1970, knowing or having reason to believe them to beforged at the time of such user that he committed criminalbreach of trust in respect of the sum of Rs. 1607.50andalso falsified the books of accounts of the Society.Itappearsthat in the last week of June 1970, Sagar (PW2)the retired Estate Manager, complained to Doongaji (PW 1)that certain amountswhich had been paid by him to theappellant-accused were not to be found in the books ofaccounts of the Society maintained by the appellant-accused,whereupon Doongaji took Sagar to Professor Choksi, themanaging trustee of Sir Dorabji Tata Trust and in July orAugust, 1970 Karsi Gherda (PW11).Appeal by Special Leave from the Judgment and Order datedthe 30th September, 1974 of the Bombay High Court in Crl.A. No. 176 of 1974,J.P. Mehta, B. R. Aggarwala and P. B. Aggarwala for theAppellant.Controller of Accounts inTata Electric Company was requested to look into theaccounts of the Society.The crime was registered by_the Palton Road Police Station and subsequently theinvestigation was taken over by the Crime Branch C.I.D. andafter completion of the investigation the appellant-accusedwas charge-sheeted and then committed to the, Court ofSessions to stand his trial for offences under s. 471 readwith s. 468 (two counts) one in respect of each of the twodocuments, the bill and the voucher/receipt, s. 408 and s.477A. I.P.C.The appellant-accused abjured-guilt and denied havingcommitted any of the offences with which he was charged.Hedisputed that there was any practice to keep in his custodythe cheque-book of the society containing the blank chequessigned by Doongaji (PWI) and K. N. Singh (PWI2) as suggestedby the prosecution or that he bad made use of any suchsigned blank cheque by issuing the bearer cheque No. 377137on April 3,1970 for Rs. 1607.50 for the purpose ofmisappropriating the amount as alleged.According to himthe amount of Rs. 1607.50 was paid in cash by him to Sagar(PW2) on the instructions from Doongaji (PWI) but at thattime he had told Doongaji that a large amount was due bySagar to the society and if at all the payment was to bemade to him it should be adjusted against the amount due tothe Society from him.but Doongaji did not accept hissuggestion but insisted that the amount should be paid toSagar without any adjustment.The appellant-accused deniedthat the bill of Patni & Co. was handed over to him by Sagarat any time or at about the time when the payment was madeto him at the484instance of Doongaji but what was banded over to him was abill- cum-receipt of M/s Patni & Co. written in Gujaraticontaining the rubber stamp of M/s. Patni & Co., on thestrength of which the payment was vouched but thisGujarati writing was not forthcoming.Even though he hadmade cash payment of Rs. 1607.50 to Sagar underinstructions of Doongaji, he wanted an entry of this amountin the Bank column of the Cash-Book of the society and thishe did by way of precaution since according to him atthat time a large amount was due to be paid by Sagar tothe Society.Accordingly, he filled in the body of thecheque and in the presence of Doongaji on the top of thecounter-foil of the cheque he made an endorsement "underverbal order of R.D.D." He wrote down the name of Lad, aPeon of J. N. Tata in the body of the cheque.TheMaharashtra State Co-operative Bank was not permittingthe bearer cheque to be cashed unless the Chairman and theSecretary of the Society gave their signatures on thereverse of the cheques and since it was difficult to obtainthe signatures of the Secretary Singh, he wrote the name ofLad as the payee of the cheque while on the counter-foil hementioned the name of A.G.R. Patni and Co. because thepayment of Rs. 1607.50 had been made towards thesatisfaction of the bill for that amount to Patni & Co.by Sagar.His case further was that after Lad cashed thecheque, Lad gave the amount to him which be kept in thecash-box; in other words, his defence was that from outof the cash-box he made cash payment of Rs. 1607.50 to Sagaron the insistence of Doongaji and then replenished the cash-box after encashment of the cheque through Lad.Hefurther emphatically disputed that he had used theforged bill and forged voucher/,receipt in connectionwith the payment of Rs. 1607.50 which he made, to Sagar atthe instance of Doongaji.He also denied that he hadmisappropriated the amount or had falsified the cash-book asalleged and the case of the prosecution being entirelyfalse he deserved to be acquitted.At the trial the prosecution led oral as well as documentaryevidence in support of its case.The oral evidence consistedof as many as 15 witnesses out of whom 7 witnesses werematerial, namely, Doongaji (PW1), Sagar (PW2), Abdul GaniPatni (PW3), Shivram Lad (PW8), Nariman Deboo (PW6),Kars Gherda (PWll) and K. N. Singh (PW12).One Nand Kumar Parekh, an Hand-writingExpert and the State Examiner of Documents in the StateC.I.D. was examined who gave his expert opinion that thepurported signature "B. A. Sagar" and the purportedinitial "RDD" appearing on the485voucher-cum-receipt dated April 3, 1970 (Ext. 5 colly.) werenot in the hand of witnesses Sagar and Doongaji respectivelybut were traced forgeries and gave reasons for his saidopinion of course, this was in addition to the positiveevidence of these two witnesses who had stated that theconcerned 'signature and the concerned initial were nottheir's.The learned Session Judge on a consideration ofthe evidence on record came to the conclusion that theprosecution had failed to establish any of the chargesagainst the appellant-accused beyond reasonable doubt.Hedid not accept the prosecution case that signed blankcheques 8 or 10 at a time used to be kept with theappellant-accused and did not accept the evidence of eitherDoongaji (PW1) or K. N. Singh (PW12) in that behalf, foraccording to him, the reasons for resorting to such practicewere not satisfactory.He also took the view that it wasnot possible to accept the prosecution case that theappellant-accused was in possession of the original bill No.49 dated December 14, 1969 of Patni & Co. and he felt thatdefence version bad been rendered probable that theappellant-accused must have made the payment of Rs. 1607.50to Sagar at the instance of Doongaji especially as on thecounter-foil of the concerned bearer cheque No. 377137 datedApril 3, 1970 there was an endorsement made by 'theappellant-accused "under verbal order of RDD"; in otherwords, he was inclined to accept the defence case that theappellant-accused had first paid out cash of Rs. 1607.50 toSagar from out of the cash-box and thereafter replenishedthe cash-box by issuing the bearer cheque and getting itencashed through peon Shivram Lad.Against this acquittal order passedby learned Addl.Inappeal the High Court reversed the acquittal recorded infavour of the accused by the learned Addl.The High Court rejected the defence version thatthe appellant-accused had first paid cash out of the cashboxto Sagar as suggested by him or that be bad done so at the486instance of Doongaji or that he had issued the bearer chequeunder verbal order of Doongaji as suggested.It found thatthe Society had not got so much cash with it on or aboutApril 3, 1970, that the cash balance on hand with theSociety for quite some time prior to April 3, 1970 was onlyRs.505.07p; that Sagar's evidence that he had not gone tothe office in the month of April, 1970 after his retirermentwas acceptable and, therefore, the accused's version that hehad first paid cash to Sagar and had replenished cash byissuing and encashing the bearer cheque was utterly falseand he had dishonestly misappropriated the amount.Holdingthat the prosecution had established its case against theappellant-accused beyond doubt, the High Court convicted himof all the charges levelled against him.However, on thequestion of sentence, for certain reasons mentioned by it inits judgment, the High Court sentenced him to one day'simprisonment and a fine of Rs. 2000/- and in default tosuffer rigorous imprisonment for six months.It was also not disputed that the said bill when itwas submitted by Abdul Gani Patni (PW3) and when it wasreceived by Sagar (PW2) the amount thereof both in figuresand words was Rs. 7.50 and it was some time later that thisbill No. 49 got interpolated and become inflated to Rs.1607.50 by addition of the figure "160" before the figure"7" but such interpolation only appeared in the amountexpressed in figures while the amount expressed in wordscontinued to be "rupees, seven and fifty paise only.".it istrue that the prosecution has not been able to show as tohow and who made such interpolation in this bill but itcannot be disputed that anyone who would come across suchbill (being Part of Ex. 5 colly) would immediately noticethe interpolation and discrepancy therein, so that whoeveruses the bill at any time subsequent to its tampering wouldhave knowledge and reason to believe that the same has beenforged.In other wordsthe.Dealing first with the prosecution theory that blank chequessigned by Doongaji and Singh used to remain in the custodyof the accused there is evidence of two prosecutionwitnesses on the point, namely, Doongaji (PW1), and Singh(PW12); Doongaji (PW1) has stated that the bank accountcould be operated jointly by himself asthe Chairman andSingh as the Secretary, that Singh used to resideatGoregaon and every time whenever the cheque was required tobe drawn it was not possible for Singh to give hissignature onthe same and further that Singh used toinsist that before he wouldput his signature on thecheque of the society, the Chairman shouldput hissignature on the same and, therefore, with a view tofacilitatethe convenience of Singh, it was thepractice of the society that at atime about 8 to 10blank cheques used to be signed by him first andthey weresent to Singh through witness Sagar the Estate Manager, andSingh used to put his signatures thereon, and the chequebook containing such signed blank cheques always used toremain in the custody of the accused and on every occasionthe particulars of the cheque both in words as well as infigures used to be written by the appellant-accused.Doongaji also stated that the books of account, the vouchersand cheque book used to be kept in the custody of theaccused in the office of Sir Doongaji Tata Trust.To thesame effect was the evidence of Singh (PWI2), who confirmedthat he used to put his signatures on blank cheques wheneverthey were signed by the Chairman 'of the Society and be usedto receive such blank cheques duly signed by the Chairman ofthe Society first through Sagar and later through Sagar'ssuccessor Figrado and that at a time he used to sign blankcheques between 5 to 10 in number and sometimes they used tobe 15 also.This evidence was sought to be demolished bythe defence by relying upon two or three factors.The learned Addl.Sessions Judge has, infact, made a half-hearted finding on this part of theprosecution case by observing as follows in para 36 of thejudgment "The probabilities would rather show that the chequebook containing the blank cheques signed by Mr. Doongaji as well as by Mr. Singh would continue to remain with Mr. Doongaji and as and when an occasion arose for issuing a cheque the accused would be summoned and he would be asked to fill in the body of the cheque and then the cheque would be issued."The observation suggests that the learned trial Judge hasaccepted the prosecution case partly, namely that onprobabilities the cheque-book used to contain blank chequessigned by Doongaji as well as by Mr. Singh but according tohim such cheque-book containing signed blank cheque wouldcontinue to remain with Doongaji.We fail to appreciate asto why, if at all, the cheque-book was to remain withDoongaji and the cheques would be issued by the accused inthe manner suggested by him, blank cheques would be signedby Doongaji at all.The evidence of the two witnesses asalso the contents of the letter Ext. 59-D clearly show thatthe practice as put forward by the prosecution did obtain inthe society.Apart from the aforesaid oral evidence of thetwo witnesses and the support it receives from the contentsof the letter Ext. 59-D, there is yet one circumstance whichsupports the prosecution story on the question of aforesaidpractice and that circumstance arises from the defence,version itself.(1) that it was the last month of hisservice and (2) that be did not have sufficient funds withhim and according to the defence both the reasons do notbear scrutiny and if the reasons for not disbursing the,bill are false his evidence, that he handed over the billto the appellant,accused cannot and should not be accepted.It has been elicited in his evidence that he used to keepwith him cash of the, Society out of the collections made byhim for days and months and in any case it would bedifficult to believe that be did not have a paltry sum ofRs. 7.50/- with him and it has been further elicited thatthough it was the last month of his service he had madecollection from the occupants of the flats.It was thusurged that both the reasons put forward by the witness fornot disbursing the bill being false his evidence should beit ejected.Manager,from time to time.Karsi Gherda afterhehad been apprised by Nariman Deboo about the existence ofthesetwo documents (Ext. 5 collectively) which were fictitiousand fraudulent in character.' had a meeting of the personsconcerned and had confronted the appellant-accused withthese two documents.particularly, the bill part of Ext. P5and from what the accused stated at that time to the witnessit would be clear that the appellant-accused was fullyconscious and aware of the clear inter-1,therefore sent for the accused.When I showed this billpart of Ext. 5 collectively and asked him as to what hewanted to say with regard to the clear interpolation in thefigure of Rs. 1607.50 the accused agreed with me and told methat even if it was clear case of interpolation, he paid off the amount under the authority of Doongaji, who wasChairman of the Managing Committee of the Society".Nothingwas elicited in /his cross-"amination so as to cast anydoubt on this part of the evidence given by him in examina-tion-in-Chief.We might, however, state that for the firsttime in the appeal when it was being heard by the, HighCourt an application was made seeking permission to recallthe witness for the purpose of contradicting him with hispolice statement where, according to the appellant-accused,the witness had not given his version as to what transpiredbetween him and the accused during the meeting in suchdetails but that application was rejected by the High Courtand, in our view, rightly.The aforesaid evidence ofwitness Karsi Gherda, therefore, clearly brings out theaspect that on his own admission the appellant-accused hadmade the payment of the bill on the strength of the billwith full consciousness and awareness that the same was aninterpolated and forged document.from the fact thatin his statement under s. 342 Cr.P.C., the accused has comeout with a story that at about the time when he made paymentin cash to Sagar through Doongaji and issued the bearercheque and got it encashed for replenishing of the cash,some Gujarati voucher byway of a receipt from Patni & Co,had been produced to him but somehow or the other thatGujarati voucher was not forth coming.In other words, thatthe disbursement of the bill would require to be vouched bya voucher-cum-receipt was very well known to the appellant-accused.The Gujarati writing, it seems to us, is not forthcoming because there was no such Gujarati writing at all inexistence and the appellant accused purported to make thedisbursement of the forged bill on the basis of getting thesame vouched by means of the forged voucher-cum-receipt,(being the other part of Ext. 5 collectively.) In our view,therefore, on the aforesaid material which we have discussedabove it appears to us clear that the prosecution could besaid to have established its charge under S. 471 read withs.467 I.P.C. under both the counts against the accusedbeyond any reasonable doubt and the High Court was justifiedin reversing the acquittal recorded by the trial Court inhis favour on these counts.

MANMOHAN, J:It is easy for a person in Delhi to reach from one place to other within a hour and the case of the accused is not of that, they were far away from Delhi and it was not possible for them to reach at house on the day of incident.Rather, both the accused were in Delhi and there is no evidence of time of leaving their house in the morning.In the prosecution evidence it is already deposed by the witnesses that accused persons have harassed the deceased in connection with demand of dowry and as the marriage was performed on 13.12.2010 and the death of the CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 3 of 23 deceased has been caused within one month from the date of marriage.The prosecution witnesses has particularly deposed regarding the demand of dowry, in the shape of share from the Malka Ganj property, where the deceased and her sisters were having share of one room and deceased before her death was asked to sell the property.A.606/2018 & Crl.He did not disclose about harassment or demand of dowry of Rs. 10 lakhs or cruelty to his daughter.Even if it is assumed that the appellant was under the shock of death of his daughter or that appellant came to know about demand of Rs. 10 lakhs after cremation of his daughter, as alleged by him in his statement in the Court, he should have made statement immediately or within one or two days thereafter or should have given some complaint in writing to the police or SDM.It is also relevant to note that no complaint regarding harassment, cruelty or demand of dowry was lodged by the deceased Geeta during her marital life or shortly thereafter.It is also pertinent to note that at no point in time, in his statement before the SDM on 22th September, 1999 exhibited as Ex.PW9/B and his statement under Section 161 Cr.However, the testimonies of Pinky (PW-3) and Rakhi (PW-4) do not inspire confidence inasmuch as they are not corroborated.In fact, other relatives of the deceased, namely, sister Kusum (PW-1), uncle Ganesh Lal (PW-2) and aunt Phoolwati (PW-13) have deposed to the contrary inasmuch as they have not mentioned any demand for dowry by the appellant-A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 16 of 23The relevant portions of the testimonies of sister Kusum (PW-1), uncle Ganesh Lal (PW-2) and aunt Phoolwati (PW-13) of the deceased are reproduced hereinbelow:-I and Tai Ji enquired from Anju as to why she was sust from 06.01.11 to 09.01.11, however, she replied sasural main sab kuch theek thak hai......"B) Testimony of Uncle Ganesh Lal (PW-2) ".......At the time of marriage, no demand of dowry was made from me by accused Rohit @ Sunny @ Sandeep or any of his family member.......Q. When Anju visited your house after her marriage, did you feel that Anju was in any trouble / problem?Yes, I observed that she was lazy (sust thi) On this, I asked my niece that is she having any problem to which she replied that she is living comfortably at her matrimonial home......"C) Testimony of Aunt Phoolwati (PW-13) "..........When Anju came to my house after 4-5 days of her CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 17 of 23 marriage she did not tell me that any cruelty being committed upon her in respect of demand of dowry in her matrimonial home as to sell out the parental home and give the share to them.A.606/2018 & Crl.However, the appellant- convicts have proved by leading defence evidence that they were not present at their house during those hours.The CDR exhibited by Israr Babu (DW-6) of both the appellant-convicts and the testimonies of Hitesh Sahni (DW-1), Rohit Goyal (DW-2) and Hari Ram (DW-3) prove that the appellant- convicts were not at their residence on 10th January, 2011 at the time of the incident.The relevant portion of the testimonies of Hitesh Sahni (DW-1) and Rohit Goyal (DW-2) are reproduced hereinbelow:-On 10.01.2010, I had sent accused Sandeep with my other employee Rohit Goel to pick up some property documents from Mindray Medicals which is based in Netaji Subhash Place, New Delhi.He requested me to start for my home immediately or he may be relieved as he has an emergency at his home.Since our work of the day had almost finished, we immediately packed up and started for home in the car being driven by Sandeep.On leaving us at our home in Paschim Vihar, Sandeep had immediately left for his home on his bike which he had parked outside my house.Throughout our return journey of about 45 minutes, Sandeep made some calls and also received few calls and therefore almost kept on talking on his mobile phone.We could assess that there was some serious issue in his family for which reason, I could not stop him from talking on mobile while driving otherwise I would have stopped him."A.606/2018 & Crl.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 23 of 23While Crl.A.606/2018 has been filed by appellant-convict Sandeep @ Sunny @ Rohit (husband of the deceased) and appellant-convict Deepak (brother-in-law of the deceased) challenging the judgment dated 31st January, 2018 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge-04, North-West CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 1 of 23 District, Rohini Courts, Delhi in Case No.52035/2016 arising out of FIR No.6/2011 registered with Police Station Aman Vihar convicting them under Sections 304B/34 IPC and sentencing them to rigorous imprisonment for ten years with fine of Rs. 15,000/- , as well as under Sections 498A/34 IPC for which they were sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for three years with fine of Rs. 5,000/-; Crl.L.P. 260/2018 has been filed by the State, against the same judgment challenging the acquittal of the appellant-convicts under Section 302 IPC.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 1 of 23CASE OF THE PROSECUTIONThe case of the prosecution in brief is that appellant-convict Sandeep had married Anju (deceased) on 13th December 2010 and that on 10th January 2011 i.e. within a month of her marriage, she was found dead at her matrimonial home.The FIR bearing No. 6/2011 under Sections 302, 304B and 34 of the IPC was registered with Police Station Aman Vihar.After the investigation, the appellant-convicts were arrested on 5th April, 2013 and a charge sheet under Sections 302, 304B, 498A and 34 of the IPC was filed against them.L.P.260/2018 Page 3 of 23xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxApart from the facts discussed above, I deem it appropriate to discuss the conduct of accused persons also before coming to the conclusion.As it is established on record by the prosecution witnesses, particularly PW 1 that she received a telephonic message from the sister of accused in the night at around 11:00 PM on 10.01.2011 regarding the illness of the deceased.No efforts has been made by them to took the deceased to a Doctor at the earliest.Even no message to the Police had been given in the 100 number at the night.The DW 5 has deposed that they remained in the house throughout a day and they were aware that the deceased was not feeling well.No such well being of the deceased was asked by the accused persons or their family members in the day time.They were silent throughout the period and did not made any efforts to know the reality or truth regarding the death of deceased Anju.This also casts a doubt on their role.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 4 of 2374. ....... Though, there is no direct evidence to establish on record by the prosecution that the deceased has been murdered by the accused persons.Therefore, in absence of any direct evidence regarding strangulation and causing death of deceased Anju therefore, they can not be convicted for the offence under Section 302 IPC.However, there is sufficient material available on record which has been proved and corroborated by the prosecution witnesses by leading oral and medical evidence.Therefore, I am of the considered opinion that prosecution has been able to prove the case against the accused persons beyond any reasonable doubt and there was a rebuttable presumption under Section 114 B of Evidence Act as well as under Section 304 B IPC, which is not being rebutted by the accused persons.The death of deceased has been caused in unnatural manner within seven years of her marriage as provided under Section 304 B IPC and here the death has been cause within one month of the marriage and there are allegations of demand of dowry and harassment on account of demand of dowry.Let they be heard on the quantum of sentence."ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE APPELLANT-CONVICTSMr. Mohd. Ahmed, learned counsel for the appellant-convicts stated that the marriage between the deceased and appellant-convict Sandeep was a love marriage.He further stated that no cruelty was inflicted upon the deceased as there was no demand for dowry by the appellant-convicts and that she was comfortable in her matrimonial home.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 5 of 23He contended that even the statements made by the sister of the deceased, Kusum (PW-1) and their uncle, Ganesh Lal (PW-2) to the SDM (PW-24) on the day after the death of the deceased i.e 11th January 2011 did not contain any allegations of demand for dowry and the same was corroborated by the testimony of the SDM (PW-24).He emphasised that as there was no allegation against the appellant-convicts they were not arrested for more than two years after the death of the deceased.Learned counsel for the appellant-convicts contended that the allegations with regard to demand for dowry by the appellant-convicts were for the first time made in vague statements to the SDM (PW-19) by two other sisters of the deceased - Pinky (PW-3) and Rakhi (PW-4), nearly two years after the death of the deceased.He pointed out that the sisters of the deceased while getting their statements recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., added a new allegation that on 1st January, 2011 when they had gone to the matrimonial house of the deceased, she had informed them that there was a dowry demand with regard to her share in her ancestral one room house and consequently, the appellant-convicts were arrested.It is only for the first time on 22nd September, 1999 (after about 37 days of incident) that the appellant and his wife Suman Gupta made statement to SDM and made allegations regarding harassment and demand of dowry.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 6 of 23Further, the appellant has not alleged that any demand was made from him rather Suman Gupta (PW-12) has deposed that Satpal, uncle of Rajesh Gupta, his mother Pushpa Devi and Suman (sister-in-law) used to demand dowry from the deceased Geeta.PW-12 has deposed that after three days of marriage, her daughter came to her house and disclosed that she was being harassed and money was being demanded.L.P.260/2018 Page 8 of 23L.P.260/2018 Page 9 of 23ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF THE APP FOR STATEPer contra, Ms. Aasha Tiwari, learned APP for the State contended that as per the Post Mortem Report (Ex. PW 12/A) the cause of death of the deceased was asphyxia consequent to obstruction of the airway by strangulation of the neck and Dr. Manoj Dhingra, (PW-12) who conducted the post mortem on the body of the deceased had opined that "the injuries on the neck were sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature".She pointed out that as per the Post Mortem Report, all the injuries on the body of the deceased were ante mortem in nature and fresh in duration.She also stated that as per the subsequent opinion on the Post Mortem Report, the injuries were not self inflicted and there was least likelihood of the deceased strangulating herself.12. Learned APP for the State further stated that the dead body of the deceased was found in her matrimonial house itself and the sister of the appellant-convicts, Seema (DW-5) had deposed that on the day the deceased had died, she along with her mother and sister remained in the house throughout the day and no outsider had entered the house.She contended that in view of the aforesaid, the burden was on the appellant-convicts to explain how the death of the deceased had happened and they had failed to discharge the said burden.L.P.260/2018 Page 10 of 23 and Rakhi (PW-4) had deposed that the appellant-convicts had harassed the deceased in connection with a demand for dowry.She pointed out that they had deposed that the demand for dowry was specifically in regard to the deceased's share in the ancestral property situated in Malkaganj and that the deceased before her death was asked to sell the property.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 10 of 23She pointed out that it was not the appellant- convicts' case that they were far away from Delhi and that it was not possible for them to reach their house on the day of the incident.She emphasised that both the appellant-convicts were in Delhi and it is very easy for a person in Delhi to reach from one place to another within an hour and that there was no evidence of the time on which the appellant-convicts had left their house in the morning on the date of the incident.Learned APP for the State also stated that as per the evidence on record, a telephone call was made to the sister of the deceased Kusum (PW-1) at about 11 pm on 10th January, 2011 to inform her that the deceased was not waking up.PW 2's evidence that he met Archana at their parental home on 9-8-1997 and that Archana informed him about the demand of Rs 5,00,000 and cruelty meted out to her and that he proceeded to the house of the appellants to settle the dispute amicably is quite natural and inspires confidence.PW 2 acted like a loving brother and probably he did not want to give tension to his old parents and on seeing the urgency of the matter, went to the appellants' house to convince them.By perusal of evidence of PW 2, it is seen that he remained consistent throughout his cross-examination and nothing CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 13 of 23 substantial was elicited to discredit his version.Merely because PW 2 has not produced documents showing the permission granted to him to be away from the headquarters Tehri from 7- 8-1997 to 10-8-1997, version of PW 2 cannot be doubted.The reasons stated by PW 2 for his stay in hotel is quite convincing and the contention assailing the credibility of PW 2 was rightly rejected by the trial court and the High Court.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 13 of 23It has been further contended on behalf of the appellants that there was delay in recording the statement of PW 2 by the investigating officer and therefore his evidence should be viewed with suspicion, especially when he did not disclose about the alleged dowry demand before he left for Dehradun or till his statement was recorded by the police.In this context as pointed out earlier, PW 2 went to Mumbai for treatment of his wife and on 14-8-1997 he was informed about the death of Archana and on the next day he returned to Delhi by air and from Delhi he reached Dehradun by taxi.Learned APP vehemently denied that the prosecution had withheld the best evidence.She referred to the testimonies of the investigating officer Insp.Vijender Pal (PW-28) and Israr Babu (DW-6).The relevant portions of the said testimonies are reproduced hereinbelow:-A.606/2018 & Crl.This information was also furnished to me by the service provider through email.I do not remember now the name of service provider.I had send the said request to service provider through E-mail, copies of said e-mails were not made part of record....."PP for the State.It is correct that the updated Cell ID chart Ex.I was able to retrieve the CDR Ex.DW6/A and Ex.DW6/D after about 5-6 years because the same must have been generated initially on the request of any investing agency....."The investigation was also stated to be defective since the gun was not sent for forensic test.L.P.260/2018 Page 15 of 23COURTS REASONING IN VIEW OF TESTIMONIES OF THE SDM (PW-24) (WHO IS AN INDEPENDENT WITNESS) UNCLE GANESH LAL (PW-2), AUNT PHOOLWATI (PW-13) AND SISTER KUSUM (PW-1), (WITH WHOM THE DECEASED HAD STAYED FROM 06TH JANUARY, 2011 TILL 09TH JANUARY, 2011), THIS COURT IS OF THE OPINION THAT THE TESTIMONIES OF TWO OTHER SISTERS I.E. PINKY (PW-3) AND RAKHI (PW-4) ARE CONTRARY TO THE EVIDENCE ON RECORD, UNCORROBORATED AND AN AFTERTHOUGHT.ACCORDINGLY, THE TESTIMONIES OF PINKY (PW-3) AND RAKHI (PW-4) CANNOT BE RELIED UPON.CONSEQUENTLY, STATUTORY PRESUMPTION FOR DOWRY DEATH UNDER SECTION 304B IPC CANNOT BE DRAWN AGAINST THE APPELLANT-CONVICTS.L.P.260/2018 Page 17 of 23My niece Anju did not tell me that on 1.1.2011, her sisters Pinki and Rakhi went to her matrimonial home for giving new year wishes.(Vol.Nobody went to house of Anju after her marriage).Anju had not told me that on the said new year day, Sunny and Deepak had threatened Pinki and Rakhi to kill Anju if money after selling the parental house is not given to them as dowry.It is correct that I had/have cordial relations with all sisters namely Anju, Pinki and Rakhi and they used to share their happiness and sorrow with me.Till 14.1.2011, when my statement was recorded by the IO, Pinki and Rakhi did not tell me about the incident that took place on new year day at matrimonial house of Anju.I met Pinki and Rakhi, after the marriage of Anju, on the day of death of Anju.Pinki and Rakhi used to talk me on telephone.(Vol.I do not remember whether they had called me before the death of Anju.) After 14.1.2011 till today, Pinki and Rakhi had not told me that accused persons were demanding money after selling share of deceased in her parental house......"(emphasis supplied)In fact, perusal of the paper book reveals that on 11th January, 2011 the SDM (PW-24) had recorded the statements of sister of the deceased, Kusum (PW-1) and uncle Ganesh Lal (PW-2) and they had not mentioned about the demand for dowry.The SDM (PW-24) had also asked other relatives to come forward to make statements, but no one including Pinky (PW-3) and Rakhi (PW-4) came forward.The relevant portion of the testimony of the SDM (PW-24) is reproduced hereinbelow:-No one else including any other sister of deceased volunteered to get her statement recorded before me.Neither any complaint was given to me by any relative of the CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 18 of 23 deceased nor any request was made for recording their statements....."A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 19 of 23Further, the prosecution has failed to prove that the deceased was subjected to cruelty by the appellant-convicts or that they had made demands for dowry soon before the death of the deceased or at any time prior.After taking those documents, CRL.A.606/2018 & Crl.L.P.260/2018 Page 20 of 23 both of my aforesaid employees delivered the same documents to Sh.Harvinder Singh, property broker in Bhera Enclave, New Delhi on my instructions.They had thereafter returned back to our office in Connaught Place.In the evening at about 7:00 pm, I had received a call from the accused Sandeep in a very shocking state.Accordingly, Crl.A 606/2018 is allowed and the impugned judgment of conviction and order on sentence are set aside.The appellant-convicts are acquitted for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 304B and 34 IPC and are directed to be released forthwith.MANMOHAN, J SANGITA DHINGRA SEHGAL, J OCTOBER 24, 2019 rn CRL.

Exh.30 is that, the accused Nos.3 to 5 were in the business of liquor and used to be under intoxication and because of their trouble, the victim had gone to complain to Deorao Khandare.The evidence of P.W.2 Syed Imam also shows that, the victim had gone to complain to Deorao Khandare and when she came back, the accused persons picked up quarrel with her.Similar is the evidence of P.W.3 Jubedabee, who deposed that the accused persons are living in the neighbourhood and they used to sell liquor unauthorisedly.She deposed that, the victim Rizwana had gone to Khandare complaining regarding selling of liquor as there was nuisance in the lane regarding liquor.Her evidence also shows that, when the victim returned home, the accused went and beat her.::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2016 00:33:50 :::Criminal Appeal No836/2015 10The cross-examination of P.W.2 Syed Imam shows that, on the day of incident, earlier at about 11.00 a.m. there was quarrel between accused No.5 Sangita and the victim.In the F.I.R. Exh.35, the complainant had reported that, at about 2.30 p.m. there was a dispute which arose between accused Nos.3 to 5 with the victim and because of the trouble of business of liquor of the accused, victim had gone to complain to Deorao Khandare.In the evidence, no doubt the complainant P.W.1 did not depose about that part of the incident.In the cross-examination, she was put question in this regard, but did not understand the question.The Court does not appear to have tried to explain the question to the witness nor the cross-examiner pursued the same.What appears from record is that, the witnesses had trouble from the accused due to unauthorised sale of liquor in the vicinity and the victim appears to have gone and complained about this to some leader Deorao Khandare and this infuriated the accused persons.The prosecution proved this to be the cause of incident.Point is that, on that day, earlier there was some dispute between victim and accused Nos.3 to 5 and when victim went and came back, accused were agitated as their information was that she had gone and complained to Mr. ::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2016 00:33:50 ::: Criminal Appeal No836/2015 11 Khandare.::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2016 00:33:50 :::Regarding the actual incident, P.W.1 complainant Ahemadibee deposed that the victim had gone to Deorao Khandare and had just come home when the accused persons reached there.In her evidence, she referred to the accused Nos.1 to 6 and then deposed that all these persons came and entered in her house and asked the victim what she had told to the said leader.ig P.W.2 Syed Imam has also deposed that, the accused persons came and asked the victim if she had gone to lodge complaint to Deorao Khandare.His evidence is that, the accused were saying that what can she do and what can Deorao Khandare do.P.W.2 Syed Imam has also deposed that the accused persons had entered their house.P.W.3 Jubedabee has also corroborated P.Ws.1 and 2 as well as P.W.4 Hafizkhan.The evidence of these witnesses shows that the accused persons entered the house of complainant so as to pick up quarrel with the victim.The evidence of these witnesses goes to establish house-trespass on the part of accused persons to commit offence punishable with imprisonment.The evidence of complainant is that, when the accused persons had entered her house and started questioning ::: Uploaded on - 11/08/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2016 00:33:50 ::: Criminal Appeal No836/2015 12 the victim, accused No.3 Latabai caught the victim by hair, accused No.5 caught the victim from her blouse and accused No.4 Ramabai caught-hold of the sari of the victim and they pulled out to victim from her house on to the road.According to P.W.1, the accused were saying that the victim should be made naked and to put chilly.In the F.I.R.

11/08/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 12/08/2016 00:33:50 ::: Criminal Appeal No836/2015 22 incident there were no strained relations as such.Thus, merely because the incident of house-trespass, assault and outraging modesty took place, that by itself cannot be calculated as abetment to commit suicide.It was also not a situation where circumstances were so created that the victim had no other option than to commit suicide.It appears that, the victim was over sensitive and at the spur of moment reacted in a manner which may not have been expected by anybody.The evidence shows that, even after the victim went inside, for some time the accused were there outside, and the family could not enter.It shows that, the victim had not, even while rushing inside the house, indicated anything that she will commit such act.Had that been so, the family would have made a hue and cry and reacted faster.The trial Court convicted the accused under Section 452 of the Indian Penal Code, which relates to house-trespass after "preparation" for hurt, assault or wrongful restraint.In the present matter, although the accused persons entered the house so as to assault the victim and hurt the victim, there is no material to show that they had made some preparation for causing of such hurt.For these Sections, in addition there was direction for payment of fine of Rs.500/- each and in default to suffer simple imprisonment for 1 month under each of the head against all accused.This needs to be maintained.For reasons already recorded, sentence under Section 306 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 would required to be set aside.I thus pass the following order :ORDER (A) For above reasons, the appeal is partly allowed.In the impugned judgment of the trial Court, the conviction under Section 452 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 is converted into conviction and sentence under Section 451 read with Section 149 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and the accused are sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for ::: Uploaded on -

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