IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3938 OF 2007 State of Maharashtra ..... ...... ......Applicant. V/s Ramesh Dnyanu Morbale & Ors. ..... ...... ....Respondents. Mrs.M.H.Mahtre, APP Adv. For the Applicant. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 11/2/08 PC: By the present application the State is seeking leave to file an appeal against the order of acquittal. Respondents 1 to 14 were prosecuted for the commission of offence punishable under sections 3(1)(x) and 3(1)(xv) read with section 6 of the Schedule Caste and Schedule Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The main witnesses examined by the prosecution are the family members of the complainant who is P.W.1. P.W.2 is his brother whereas P.W.3 is his sister. The trial Court has found that the evidence of the said three witnesses who have deposed the role attributed to each of the accused suffers from material contradictions in regard to material facts. The Court has also found that the evidence of the said witnesses appears to be unnatural and improbable. On appreciation of oral evidence the trial Court has acquitted the accused persons. In the absence of any cogent evidence accused have been acquitted. I have perused the judgment and order impugned. Same goes to take possible view of the matter that the 1 prosecution has failed to prove that the accused have committed the offence. Hence no interference is called for. Application stands rejected. 11.2.08 2
