Smt. Om Pati vs State Of Haryana on 9 July, 2008<\/div>\n
      IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT\n                      CHANDIGARH\n\n\n                                Criminal Appeal No. 32-DB of 1999\n                                   Date of Decision: July 09, 2008\n\n\nSmt. Om Pati                                            ... Appellant\n                               Versus\nState of Haryana.                                     .. Respondent\n\n\nCORAM:      HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL,\n            HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S.D. ANAND.\n\nPresent :   Mr. J.S. Bains, Advocate,\n            as Amicus Curiae,\n            for the appellant.\n\n            Mrs. Naveen Malik, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana,\n            for the respondent.\n\n\nS.D. Anand, J.\n<\/pre>\n
            The finding of indictment, recorded by the learned Trial<\/p>\n
Judge, as against the appellant – Om Pati essentially stems from the<\/p>\n
implicit reliance placed by the Court upon the dying declaration made<\/p>\n
by the deceased lady. The dying declaration had been recorded by<\/p>\n
PW5 – Sh. J.S. Dahiya, the then A.C.J.M., Rohtak, in the presence<\/p>\n
of PW2 – Dr. Narinder Kaushik, Medical Officer, who testified at the<\/p>\n
trial that the maker of dying declaration “remained fully conscious<\/p>\n
during period same was recorded by Magistrate.”\n<\/p>\n
            Rajesh Kumari was wife of Rakesh, a son of appellant –<\/p>\n
Om Pati (and Ram Saran – a non-appellant).        Marriage between<\/p>\n
Rajesh Kumari and Rakesh was solemnized on 16.05.1991. A male<\/p>\n
child was born to her out of their union. However, appellant – Om
\n Crl. Appeal No.32-DB of 1999                                       2<\/span><\/p>\n
Pati had been harassing Rajesh Kumari as the former was not<\/p>\n
satisfied with the adequacy of the dowry brought by the latter. On<\/p>\n
the fateful day, Rajesh Kumari had a tiff with the appellant while both<\/p>\n
of them were in the kitchen. The appellant announced that Rajesh<\/p>\n
Kumari should better die. Thereupon, Rajesh Kumari poured<\/p>\n
kerosene oil and set herself ablaze. Even after she had lighted the<\/p>\n
matchstick and was afire, the appellant also lighted a matchstick and<\/p>\n
threw it upon her daughter-in-law. Her husband pleaded with her<\/p>\n
thereafter that she ought to make a statement that she had been<\/p>\n
engulfed in fire due to stove burst or gas leakage and she should not<\/p>\n
accuse the appellant (mother of Rakesh Kumar) for the occurrence.<\/p>\n
             The learned Amicus Curiae, appearing on behalf of the<\/p>\n
appellant, has a valid point that the appellant could not have been<\/p>\n
convicted on a charge of murder because there was no evidence,<\/p>\n
direct or otherwise, to prove that it was the appellant who poured<\/p>\n
kerosene oil and initially set the deceased afire. That averment is<\/p>\n
borne out even by the contents of the dying declaration, in the course<\/p>\n
whereof Rajesh Kumari categorically indicated that she herself<\/p>\n
poured kerosene oil upon her following a taunt by her mother-in-law<\/p>\n
that she should better die. She proceeded to aver that it was she<\/p>\n
who lighted the matchstick and set herself ablaze.        In the light<\/p>\n
thereof, we accept the advocated view that the conviction of the<\/p>\n
appellant for offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code is<\/p>\n
inappropriate and cannot be upheld.\n<\/p>\n
             However, the appellant has nothing to celebrate because<\/p>\n
she cannot get away from the charge of having abetted the
\n Crl. Appeal No.32-DB of 1999                                      3<\/span><\/p>\n
commission of suicide by Rajesh Kumari – deceased. As apparent<\/p>\n
from the statement of PW8 – Basheshar Dayal, father of Rajesh<\/p>\n
Kumari, the appellant had been mal-treating the deceased on<\/p>\n
account of the insufficiency of the dowry brought by the latter. We<\/p>\n
find that the testimony of PW8 – Basheshar Dayal is, even otherwise,<\/p>\n
credible. He did not hesitate to concede that the deceased and her<\/p>\n
husband were separate in mess and residence from the appellant<\/p>\n
because the appellant did not allow them to stay in her house.<\/p>\n
However, he categorically added that the appellant had been visiting<\/p>\n
the house occupied by the appellant and her husband. He also did<\/p>\n
not conceal that as long as Rakesh Kumar was in job, he used to<\/p>\n
keep Rajesh Kumari at his place of posting but he had to bring her<\/p>\n
(Rajesh Kumari) back to the village after he had been removed from<\/p>\n
service. The presentation made by PW8 – Basheshar Dayal in the<\/p>\n
context of the above facts is natural and has no element of<\/p>\n
untruthfulness.\n<\/p>\n
             As would be apparent from a perusal of the dying<\/p>\n
declaration, Rajesh Kumari categorically averred that the appellant<\/p>\n
had been harassing her. She was fair enough to aver that she set<\/p>\n
herself afire but only after the appellant taunted her that she should<\/p>\n
better die. Rajesh Kumari was equally categorical, in the course of<\/p>\n
Ex.PQ (dying declaration), that she was the first to light the<\/p>\n
matchstick and that it is only thereafter that the appellant lighted<\/p>\n
another matchstick which she threw upon her. We find the contents<\/p>\n
of the dying declaration to be truthful and reliable.     As already<\/p>\n
noticed, the dying declaration was recorded by PW5 – Sh. Jagbir
\n Crl. Appeal No.32-DB of 1999                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n
Singh Dahiya, the then ACJM, Rohtak, only after PW2 – Dr. Narinder<\/p>\n
Kaushik certified that she was fit to make a statement.          Apart<\/p>\n
therefrom, Dr. Narinder Kaushik (PW2) further testified at the trial<\/p>\n
that “patient remained fully conscious during period same was<\/p>\n
recorded by Magistrate.” There is not even an averment that Rajesh<\/p>\n
Kumari had been tutored by anybody in the making of that statement<\/p>\n
which (dying declaration) also has an element of truthfulness in the<\/p>\n
context of the manner in which the impugned occurrence had taken<\/p>\n
place.\n<\/p>\n
             We, accordingly, dismiss the appeal. However, the<\/p>\n
conviction of the appellant under Section 302 of the Indian Penal<\/p>\n
Code shall stand set aside.         Instead thereof, the appellant is<\/p>\n
convicted for an offence under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code.<\/p>\n
It is beyond the pale of controversy that she had already undergone<\/p>\n
little more than four years of imprisonment before she was released<\/p>\n
on bail under the orders of this Court. In the peculiar circumstances<\/p>\n
of the cases, we deem it appropriate to order that the period<\/p>\n
undergone by the appellant would serve the interest of justice and we<\/p>\n
so order accordingly.<\/p>\n
