IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA G. APP. (DB) No.6 of 2008 THE STATE OF BIHAR Versus NAGENDRA RAM & ORS ----------- 9 17.07.2008 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsels for the respondents and perused the impugned judgment, whereby 14 persons including 13 respondents have been acquitted. One of the co-accused is said to have died. The discussion made in the judgment and the materials show that the informant has not been examined as a witness and the doctor did not find any external injury on the head although there was fracture of skull bone. The I.O. did not find any material at the place of occurrence to show that any occurrence had taken place there. He did not find even the betel shop which the informant claimed to be at the place of occurrence. The F.I.R. named only eight accused persons but 14 persons were charge sheeted and the P.Ws. 1, 2, 3 and 5 have named either five or six persons to be involved in the occurrence. In the facts and circumstances of the case the benefit of doubt given by the Trial Court does not appear to be illegal or perverse. Hence, the prayer to grant leave to appeal is rejected.
