IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA G. APP. (DB) No.38 of 2007 THE STATE OF BIHAR Versus RAM CHANDRA YADAV & ORS ----------- 6 2-7-2008 Naresh Heard learned counsel for the appellant/State of Bihar and perused the judgment of acquittal whereby the 11 respondents have been acquitted of charges under section 302 and other sections of the I.P.C. The court below has not found P.Ws.1,2 and 3 reliable because they are related to the informant and it also appears that they are not named as witnesses in the F.I.R. Considering the facts that the occurrence took place during evening hours by the side of a public road and on a market day, the court below has rightly doubted the evidence of interested witnesses and taken note of failure of the prosecution to adduce independent witnesses. In the facts of the case it is not possible to hold that the acquittal suffers from perversity or illegality. Hence prayer to grant leave to appeal is rejected .
