IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SLA No.15 of 2011 KALAWATI DEVI Versus CHANDRA SHEKHAR MAJHI AND ORS. ----------- 04. 10.05.2011. None appears on repeated calls. I have perused the judgment of the 2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Saran at Chapra dated 05.01.2011 by which the learned Judge allowed the appeal and thereby acquitted the respondents who have been convicted of offences under Sections 147, 341, 323, 452, 379 and 427 of the IPC. The learned Judge has considered the admitted facts of dispute for the land and the bamboo clump and the claim of the accused persons over it and he has referred to many documents which indicate as if the accused persons were exercising their right of possession under the bonafide belief that they were the real proprietors of the land and the bamboos and they were, as such, cutting bamboos from it. The learned Judge had gone, thereafter, to appreciate the oral evidence and admissions coming out of it as regards the claim of the accused and has held that there was a bonafide land dispute and in that background there could not be any 2 offence of unlawful assembly or of theft as regards the cutting of bamboos, besides, the offence under Section 323 or any other offence regarding trespass. This court finds the reasons assigned by the learned Judge sound and sturdy. The judgment passed by the learned appellate court does not appear suffering from any perversity. In the result, there does not appear any merit in the application seeking Special Leave to Appeal and the same is hereby dismissed. B.Kr. ( Dharnidhar Jha,J.)
