IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Revision No. 946 of 2004 Date of decision: November 22, 2010 Naranjan Singh .. Petitioner Vs. Dharam Vir @ Kala @ Paramjit Singh and others .. Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice A.N. Jindal Present: Mr. Rahul Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. None for the respondents. A.N. Jindal, J Challenge in this petition is made to the judgment dated 4.8.2003 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Hoshiarpur, whereby the accused-respondents were discharged of the offences levelled against them. After the complaint was committed to the court of Sessions, the case came up for consideration on charge under Sections 148, 149, 302, 120-B IPC. The trial court while holding that there was no ground for presuming that the accused had committed the offence, discharged them. The prime evidence over which the prosecution had placed reliance was that of Ajit Singh, who had seen 6-7 persons, early in the morning of 11.12.1995, near the place where the dead body of the human being was seen hanging over the tree. Ajit Singh was not examined. No explanation has come forth as to why his testimony was withheld. Learned counsel has failed to refer any other material evidence in order to connect the accused with crime much less no evidence has been pointed out in order to reveal if the accused had prima facie committed the offence of murder in conspiracy with each other. The trial court appears to have rightly discharged the accused as this case is virtually of no evidence. Dismissed. November 22, 2010 (A.N. Jindal) deepak Judge
