By this Criminal Application, the order acquitting the accused in Sessions trial No. 144/03 passed by the learned trial Judge is challenged. 2. The learned trial Judge has correctly appreciated the evidence and has given cogent reasons in para 28 for not accepting the evidence. The eye witness Sunanda is the daughter-in-law of the victim and claims that she saw victim being assaulted by an axe and she started walking towards home. Yet she does not go to help him or save him in any manner but goes to home to tell others about the assault. The conduct of the witness, as observed by the learned trial Judge, is highly unnatural and therefore creates a reasonable doubt in an ordinary prudent man regarding the veracity of such statement of this witness. The findings recorded by the learned Judge are thus in accordance with the appreciation of evidence and require no interference. Application is therefore rejected. ....
