IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Appeal (DB) No.1043 of 2011 Sheo Shankar Rai Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ---------------------------------- 02. 04.11.2011 Heard learned counsels for the appellant and the State. The appeal has been filed against the judgment of acquittal in a case registered under Sections 302, 201 of the I.P.C. Both sides are agnates. The deceased had no male issue and had only two daughters, one of them is informant who died during the trial while other daughter has not been examined. The police during investigation found the accusation false and submitted final form, but differing with the same, cognizance was taken. The consistent evidence of P.W.s. 1 to 4 is that they saw respondents pressing the neck of the victim on 21.08.2002 but no effort was made by the informant to save the victim and the F.I.R. was lodged on 23.08.2002. The conduct of P.W.s. 1 to 4 not informing the police at the time of the occurrence and allowing the family members to dispose off the dead body has rightly been doubted by learned trial Court. The I.O. has also not been examined. We do not find any perversity in the impugned judgment. The appeal is dismissed. Shageer (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J) (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
