2. The case of the prosecution in brief is that the deceased Munir and his wife Madina (PW8) were residing on the backside of the house of   the   informant   Qutuboddin   Sandu   Tadvi   (PW7);   the   informant   is none other than the father of the deceased; the informant and his wife Shahnoorbi, another son Nawab and Nawab’s wife Afsana were staying jointly in one house, which was in front of the house of the accused. Both houses are near each other.  On 16.12.2005, the informant and his wife Shahnoorbi were in the house.   His son Nawab and his wife Afsana were not present. Deceased Munir came to the house of the informant in the evening and informed him that he was going to see a movie.     At   about   11:00   or   11:15   p.m.,   the   informant   heard   shouts from   his   son   Munir,   saying   “Oh   mother,   save   me   –   Mukhtyar   had assaulted   me   by   knife   in   my   stomach”.     On   hearing   the   shouts   of Munir, the informant and his wife woke up and opened the door of the house.     Immediately,   the   injured   Munir   entered   the   house   of   the informant, at which point of time the accused Mukhtyar was standing behind Munir, holding a blood­stained knife in his hand.  Madina, the wife of Munir also reached the spot, by which time Munir fell down with bleeding injuries on his stomach.  His intestines had come out of the abdomen.  The injured became unconscious.   Accused Mukhtyar 2 ran away from the spot. In his haste, he left his chappal near the door of the house of the informant.   The informant went to Dr. Shantilal Teli   and   requested   him   to   come   to   the   spot   of   the   incident   and examine   the   victim,   who   accordingly   came   and   after   examination declared him dead. Immediately thereafter, the first information came to be lodged by the father of the deceased.

7. The deceased, while leaving his house in the evening on the date of the  incident,  had informed his father that he  was  going to  see a movie. The incident happened after he returned from the movie.   The victim/deceased immediately sustained injuries near his house, crying out ‘Oh mother save me, Mukhtyar had assaulted me in the stomach by   knife’.     After   hearing   the   cries   of   his   son,   the   informant   (PW7) opened the door and saw his injured son.   He also saw the accused with   a   blood­stained   knife   in   his   hand.   Immediately   thereafter,   the accused   ran   away   and   the   injured   fell   down   on   the   person   of   the informant.  At that point of time, the deceased told his father that the accused Mukhtyar had assaulted him with a knife.  The intestines had also come out of the abdomen of the victim.  As mentioned supra, the doctor who came to the spot at the request of the informant declared the   victim   dead.   The   accused   Mukhtyar   was   the   neighbour   of   the victim.

17. The accused took the false plea of alibi in his statement u/s 313 CrPC,   which   remained   not   proved.   Having   regard   to   the aforementioned material on record, in our considered opinion, the trial Court and the High Court were justified in convicting the accused by concluding that all the circumstances are proved by the prosecution, and form a complete chain.  Even on reconsidering the material, we do 9 not   find   any   reason   to   interfere   with   the   judgments   and   orders   of conviction.  The appeal accordingly fails and is hereby dismissed.
