When no one appeared for the appellant in this case, Ms.<\/p>\n<p>                    Pallavi Thakur, Advocate assisted this court as Amicus Curia.<\/p>\n<p>                                  This appeal is directed against the judgment and order,<\/p>\n<p>                    dated 27.1.1998 passed in Sessions Trial No. 259 of 1990 by which<\/p>\n<p>                    the appellant has been convicted for the offences under section 326 of<\/p>\n<p>                    the Penal Code and sentence to undergo rigorous imprisonment for<\/p>\n<p>                    four years.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  2. Ext. 2 is the fardbayan of Ashraf Ali, the informant,<\/p>\n<p>                    PW 4 who has stated that when he went to demand Rs. 2000\/- from<\/p>\n<p>                    Md. Hanif, the present appellant, asked him to meet him at the tailor&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>                    shop known as Raushan Tailor in the evening. Subsequently at about<\/p>\n<p>                    7.30 P.M. Ashraf Ali went to Raushan Tailor where the appellant was<\/p>\n<p>                    present and on demand being made, the appellant is said to have<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                        2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>thrown acid on the face of the informant. The occurrence was<\/p>\n<p>witnessed by one Sagir Mian who has been examined as PW 1 and<\/p>\n<p>Shahabuddin has been examined as PW 3.\n<\/p>\n<p>              3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the<\/p>\n<p>genesis of the occurrence has not been proved in this case inasmuch as<\/p>\n<p>that the informant has not stated in court during the trial that he had<\/p>\n<p>earlier visited the shop of the appellant to make demand of Rs. 2000\/-<\/p>\n<p>which the appellant owed to the informant. It is, therefore, stated that<\/p>\n<p>the case as made out by the informant before the court below appears<\/p>\n<p>to be doubtful in view of the fact that if the informant had not earlier<\/p>\n<p>visited the appellant and fixed an appointment at Raushan Tailor, as<\/p>\n<p>such there was no occasion for the appellant to be present at Raushan<\/p>\n<p>Tailor at the given time of the occurrence. It is further submitted that<\/p>\n<p>Saghir Mian, PW 1 who is a witness in the F.I.R. has not been able to<\/p>\n<p>describe the place of occurrence and appears to be a co-villager and<\/p>\n<p>has, therefore, deposed in favour of the informant. A challenge has<\/p>\n<p>also been made to the evidence of Shahabuddin, PW 3, also an F.I.R.<\/p>\n<p>witness on the ground that he claimed that he cannot describe the<\/p>\n<p>place of occurrence and that he does not remember anything about the<\/p>\n<p>occurrence.\n<\/p>\n<p>              4. This court finds that as far as oral evidence is<\/p>\n<p>concerned, it appears that although the genesis of the occurrence is not<\/p>\n<p>supported part of the occurrence has been supported by the informant<\/p>\n<p>and PW 1 who said that the appellant had thrown acid on the<\/p>\n<p>informant at the place of occurrence i.e. Raushan Tailor .<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                         3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>              5. The next contention on behalf of the appellant is that<\/p>\n<p>the Investigating Officer of the case has not been examined which<\/p>\n<p>prejudices the case of the appellant. From the case diary, the material<\/p>\n<p>that is relevant for consideration of this court is the injury report. The<\/p>\n<p>injury report, dated 19.3.1998 issued by the Civil Assistant surgeon,<\/p>\n<p>Buxar indicates that there are certain burn injuries on the face and the<\/p>\n<p>neck. The size and extent of injury nos. 1 and 2 have not been<\/p>\n<p>explained in the report, whereas injury no. 3 has been described as<\/p>\n<p>burn injury on the scalp 6&#8243; x 5&#8243;. With respect to 3rd injury it is<\/p>\n<p>submitted that it is not grievous in nature as it could not come within<\/p>\n<p>the 6th and 8th classification of the grievous injury described under<\/p>\n<p>section 320 of the Penal Code.        Section 320 of the Penal Code<\/p>\n<p>describes grievous injury :\n<\/p>\n<p>              &#8220;Sixthly-. Permanent disfiguration of the head or face.<\/p>\n<p>              &#8220;Eightly-. Any hurt which endangers life or which<\/p>\n<p>causes the sufferer to be during the space of twenty days in severe<\/p>\n<p>bodily pain or unable to follow his ordinary pursuits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>              6. It has been submitted that the injury report does not<\/p>\n<p>disclose that there was a permanent disfiguration on the head.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the diary or the evidence of the witnesses do not disclose<\/p>\n<p>whether the informant as a result of the said injury was detained in<\/p>\n<p>hospital or unable to conduct his ordinary pursuits for a period of<\/p>\n<p>more than two weeks. It is, therefore, cannot be contended on behalf<\/p>\n<p>of the prosecution that the informant suffered grievous injury as a<\/p>\n<p>result of the occurrence described above.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                             4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                                  7. This court agrees with the submissions made by<\/p>\n<p>                    counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant and I find that it cannot<\/p>\n<p>                    be held that injury no.3 is grievous in nature and, thus, the conviction<\/p>\n<p>                    under section 326 of the Penal Code cannot be sustained. Therefore,<\/p>\n<p>                    this court holds that in the facts of the present case the appellant<\/p>\n<p>                    would be entitled for conviction under section 323 of the Penal Code<\/p>\n<p>                    for causing hurt to the informant.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  8. Accordingly, the conviction of the appellant under<\/p>\n<p>                    section 326 of the Penal Code for a period of four years is set aside<\/p>\n<p>                    and the appellant is convicted under Section 323 of the Indian Penal<\/p>\n<p>                    Code and directed to pay a fine of Rs. 1000\/- within a period of two<\/p>\n<p>                    months on receipt of notice from the trial court, failure to pay the said<\/p>\n<p>                    amount of fine would result in simple imprisonment for a period of<\/p>\n<p>                    two months.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                  9. In the result, this appeal is dismissed with the<\/p>\n<p>                    modification in the sentence as aforesaid.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                         (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)<\/p>\n<p>Patna High Court,<br \/>\nMarch 26, 2009,<br \/>\nN.A.F.R. \/ Haque.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court Md.
