Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. {Prafulla C. Pant, J. (Oral)} Heard Sri H.C. Pujari, learned A.G.A. for the State-appellant and perused the impugned order dated 4.10.2007 passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge/First Fast Track Court, Haridwar in Sessions Trial No. 215 of 2002 whereby the accused Phurkan, Asgar, Rasid, Irphan, Hamid and Mohabbat @ Goti are acquitted of charge of offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 452/149, 325/149, 323/149, 504 I.P.C. It appears that on 18.11.2001 one Imran was murdered in connection of which, Crime No. 290 of 2001 relating to offences punishable under Sections 302 and 307 I.P.C. was registered. In the said case, charge sheet was filed. The cross case was got registered on application filed by the complainant Mohd. Ali which was registered as Crime No. 290A of 2001 in connection with offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 452, 325, 323 and 504 I.P.C., Police Station Kotwali Roorkee, District 2 Haridwar. Charge sheet was filed in the cross case also in which the present respondents were the accused. The accused of Crime No. 290 of 2009 were convicted by the Trial Court in Sessions Trial No. 214 of 2002 while the accused respondents of connected cross Sessions Trial No. 215 of 2002 are acquitted. Having gone through the record, we do not find any sufficient reason to grant leave to appeal in the case as the Trial Court has given cogent and sound reasons for acquittal of accused respondents in Sessions Trial No. 215 of 2002 holding that the charge against them is not proved beyond reasonable doubt. Therefore, leave is refused. Appeal stands dismissed summarily. (B.S.Verma, J.) (Prafulla C.Pant, J.) 4.6.2009 RMY
