Court’s or Judge’s orders Ms M. H.Mhatre, Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. CORAM:- D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATE :- 14th October, 2010. P.C.:- 1. Heard Ms Mhatre, Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. 2. Criminal Application has been filed by the State for grant of leave to appeal against the judgment and order dated 8.6..2010 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Pune whereby all the respondents-accused came to be acquitted for the offence punishable under Sections 392, 364(A), 387, 342, 120-B of the Indian Penal Code. 3. We have considered the contentions canvassed by the learned Additional Public Prosecutor and perused the impugned judgment. 4. Considering the nature of evidence adduced by the prosecution, 2appln-4514-10 the trial Court in para 13 has observed thus : “On carefully going through evidence available on record, it is revealed that the version of the prosecution coming through the mouth of the informant, his cousin Ishan (PW2) and Rakesh (PW6), cannot be said to be such evidence on the basis of which the accused can be convicted for the offences alleged. The evidence is extremely fragile, weak and does not inspire any confidence. As a matter of fact, there are several circumstances, which are enumerated hereinafter which render the story of the prosecution doubtful and unreliable...” 5. Even, otherwise taking into consideration the over all nature of evidence adduced by the prosecution, we are of the view that the findings of acquittal recorded by the trial Court do not require any indulgence at the hands of this Court. 6. Hence, leave to appeal is refused. Application as well as the appeal are dismissed. (D.D.SINHA, J) (A. P. BHANGALE, J) 3appln-4514-10
