Criminal Revision No. 647 of 1996 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. Criminal Revision No. 647 of 1996 Date of Decision: 18.2.2008. Sita Ram …Petitioner Versus Gurmail Singh and Others. …Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. G.S.Gandhi, Advocate for the petitioner. None for respondents No.1 and 2. Mr. Mehardeep Singh, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab, for the State. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present revision petition has been filed by the complainant challenging the acquittal of Gurmal Singh and Avtar Singh by the Court of learned Sessions Judge, Jalandhar. Mr. Gandhi appearing for complainant/petitioner has read the judgment before me. In para 16, it has been stated that the present case rests upon circumstantial evidence. The prosecution, to connect the accused with the crime has led evidence in the form of last seen, extra judicial confession and disclosure statements leading to the recovery of the dead body, and the weapons of offence are sotas and Criminal Revision No. 647 of 1996 2 cycle. Trial Court took into notice that there is a delay in lodging of FIR and evidence of Sita Ram, complainant, is based on hear-say as Sita Ram stated that he came to know from Nirbhay Singh and Nirbhay Singh has not been examined by the prosecution as he was not cited as a witness. This fact is stated in para 17 of the judgment. Trial Court has rightly disbelieved Rura Ram, PW.3, who was a witness of extra judicial confession and disclosure statement, which led to the recovery. Trial Court has given a very detailed reasoning for disbeliving Rura Ram from para 21 to 26. In the present case, no appeal against acquittal under Section 378 Cr.P.C. has been preferred by the State. In view of the well-reasoned findings of the trial Court, while exercising the powers of revisional Court, learned counsel for the petitioner has failed to point out any irregularity and illegality, which do not call for any interference. Hence, there is no merit in the present revision petition and the same is dismissed. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge February 14, 2008 “DK”
