CRR No.2253 of 2008 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRR No.2253 of 2008 (O&M) Date of decision:- 01.09.2011 Ram Mehar ....Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana and others ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE A.N. JINDAL Present:- Mr. Dalel Singh Nain, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** A.N. JINDAL, J (ORAL) Assailed in this petition is the judgment dated 27.11.2007 passed by the Sessions Judge, Kaithal, acquitting the accused-respondent Nos.2 and 3 of the charge framed against them. The case was registered on the statement of Ram Mehar-complainant (PW-1), who stated that 4-5 persons had come to his house when he was fixing wire to his antenna. At that time, one of them fired a shot at him, which struck his right hand. No identification parade was conducted. He has not stated as to what weapon was used by the accused while causing him injury. During cross-examination, he has stated that he does not know which weapon was used by the accused and who out of them, had caused the injury. The occurrence took place on 20.10.2004 at 6.30 P.M. and the petitioner was got admitted in the CRR No.2253 of 2008 (O&M) 2 hospital on 21.10.2004. No explanation has come forth as to why he was not admitted in the hospital immediately after the occurrence. The FIR in this case was lodged on 31.12.2004 at 7.05 P.M. No reason for such a delayed FIR has been assigned. Even the DDR, Ex.P1, which was lodged at 8.30 P.M., does not indicate that these were the accused, who had caused injuries to the complainant. The trial Court appears to have appreciated the evidence in the right perspective. It is well settled by now that if two views are possible, the view favourable to the accused should be accepted. In any way, no grounds have been disclosed to condone the delay of 190 days in filing the petition. Dismissed. (A.N.JINDAL) 1th September, 2011 JUDGE ajp
