Opposite party/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sumeet Kumar, Advocate Mr. Binod Kumar Singh, Advocate Mr. Satyendra Pd.Singh, Advocate For the State of Bihar : M/s. Madhuri Lata, Addl.P.P. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE BIRENDRA PRASAD VERMA ORAL ORDER 2 17-07-2012 Heard. The petitioner has filed the present revision application, questioning the correctness and legality of the impugned judgment and order dated 20th March, 2010 passed in Sessions Trial No. 522 of 2001, by learned 3rd Additional Sessions Judge, Motihari, whereby, the accused opposite party nos. 2 and 3 have been acquitted for the charges under [STATUTE] . Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has vehemently argued the case and has submitted that though the Patna High Court CR. REV. No.906 of 2010 (2) dt.17-07-2012 2 / 2 2 prosecution case is based on circumstantial evidence, but the witnesses examined on behalf of the prosecution have fully supported the prosecution case. However, he has fairly conceded that neither the Doctor nor the Investigating Officer has been examined in support of the prosecution case. After having heard learned counsel for the petitioner at a great length and on consideration of the materials available on the record, as also taking into consideration the fact that the Doctor and the Investigating Officer have not been produced on behalf of the prosecution, this Court does not find it a fit case for interference as the accused opposite party nos. 2 and 3 have been given benefits of doubt and have been acquitted by the learned trial court by a reasoned and speaking order. Consequently, the application fails and is, accordingly, dismissed. Kanth/- (Birendra Prasad Verma, J)
