JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD\n\n\n\n\nGopal Prasad, J.                Heard learned counsel for the appellant and\n\n                     learned counsel for the State.\n\n<\/pre>\n
                                2. The appellant has been convicted for offence<\/p>\n
                     under Section 376, 313 and 304 I.P.C. and sentenced to<\/p>\n
                     undergo imprisonment for seven years for offence under<\/p>\n
                     Section 376 I.P.C., five years for offence under Section<\/p>\n
                     313 I.P.C. and six years for offence under Section 304<\/p>\n
                     Part II of I.P.C.\n<\/p>\n
                                3. The prosecution case as alleged in the written
\n               2<\/span><\/p>\n
report signed by the victim Pulbati Kumari that she used<\/p>\n
to live with her father Rup Lal Ganesh (P.W.2) and<\/p>\n
brothers Deo Narayan Ganesh (P.W.1) and Yogi Lal<\/p>\n
Ganesh (P.W.3) at village- Biranguri, P.S. Thakurganj,<\/p>\n
District- Kishanganj. The appellant Raisuddin used to<\/p>\n
come to her house to meet her brother. It is further<\/p>\n
alleged that Raisuddin raped her by enticing her. When<\/p>\n
she became pregnant she disclosed about pregnancy and<\/p>\n
then Raisuddin took her across the river Mechi and get<\/p>\n
Jaributi pushed in her vagina through a lady about 9-10<\/p>\n
days prior to filing of the written report. When the blood<\/p>\n
start oozing out the victim became seriously ill then she<\/p>\n
disclosed about the occurrence to her brother Deo<\/p>\n
Narayan Ganesh and father.\n<\/p>\n
         4. On the written report dated 25. 09. 1995,<\/p>\n
F.I.R. was lodged and investigation proceeded. After<\/p>\n
investigation charge sheet submitted under Sections 376,<\/p>\n
313 and 304 I.P.C. and trial proceeded. During trial,<\/p>\n
seven witnesses were examined. Witnesses P.W. 1 and 3<\/p>\n
are brothers of the victim who deposed that they got<\/p>\n
information through letters from their father P.W.2, Rup<\/p>\n
Lal Ganesh that Pulbati Kumari died in Purnea hospital
\n               3<\/span><\/p>\n
when they were in Punjab and Harayana, so they have<\/p>\n
been declared hostile. P.W. 2, father of the victim also<\/p>\n
stated that Pulbati Kumari died and he had not heard<\/p>\n
about rape. P.W. 4 has been tendered. P.W. 5 is the<\/p>\n
Police Officer has proved the signature of Pulbati<\/p>\n
Kumari on the written report which has been marked as<\/p>\n
Ext. 2. He has also proved Ext. 3, the F.I.R. lodged on<\/p>\n
the basis of said written report (Ext. 2). However, in his<\/p>\n
cross-examination has stated that the victim when came<\/p>\n
to the police station was very weak and was taken to<\/p>\n
police station with the assistance of her father and<\/p>\n
brothers. She died on 30. 10. 1995. P.W. 5 stated in his<\/p>\n
evidence that he did not know through whom the said<\/p>\n
written report was got written.\n<\/p>\n
         5. P.W.4 is the doctor who conducted autopsy<\/p>\n
on her person has stated that cause of death of the victim<\/p>\n
septic peritomisis and metritis and such infection can be<\/p>\n
possible by putting indigenous medicine like Jaributi<\/p>\n
through the vagina. P.W. 6 has stated that he did not<\/p>\n
know how she died. P. W. 7 is the I.O. who has only<\/p>\n
submitted the charge sheet.\n<\/p>\n
         6. The trial court taking into consideration the
\n               4<\/span><\/p>\n
evidence of P.W. 5 who has proved the signature of<\/p>\n
Prosecutrix on the written report which has been marked<\/p>\n
as Ext. 2. The trial court and further taking into<\/p>\n
consideration the evidence of P.W. 5 that Prosecutrix<\/p>\n
died in course of investigation in proximity with F.I.R.<\/p>\n
lodged on the written report. The trial court treated the<\/p>\n
written report in evidence as dying declaration under<\/p>\n
Section 32 of the Evidence Act. The trial court further<\/p>\n
drawn analogy of the admission of the written report as<\/p>\n
dying declaration on the decision reported in 1991 (2)<\/p>\n
BLJ 245, where their lordships held that F.I.R. and<\/p>\n
Fardbeyan could be read in evidence under Section 294<\/p>\n
of Cr.P.C. even if the signature has not been proved by<\/p>\n
the prosecution, when genuineness of the signature is not<\/p>\n
doubted or challenged. The trial court that is the Learned<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge further relying upon decision<\/p>\n
reported in A.I.R. 1984 S.C. 1622 drawn an analogy that<\/p>\n
Prosecutrix will not tell a lie on the verge of her death.<\/p>\n
The trial court taking into consideration the written<\/p>\n
report as dying declaration and convicted the appellant<\/p>\n
taking the written report as substantive evidence as what<\/p>\n
is written in the written report is true and    hold that
\n                5<\/span><\/p>\n
Raisuddin has indulged in rape and was instrumental in<\/p>\n
miscarriage of the pregnancy and causing death of victim<\/p>\n
Pulbati Kumari by septic due to inducing Jaributi in her<\/p>\n
vagina.\n<\/p>\n
          7. Learned counsel for the appellant however<\/p>\n
contended that written report cannot be treated as dying<\/p>\n
declaration.\n<\/p>\n
          8. Learned counsel for the State however<\/p>\n
supported the order of conviction and sentence.<\/p>\n
          9. The question for consideration whether<\/p>\n
conviction can be sustainable treating the written report<\/p>\n
as dying declaration.\n<\/p>\n
          10. Section 32 of the Evidence Act provided<\/p>\n
that statement, written or verbal, made by a person who<\/p>\n
is dead with regard to his cause of death is a relevant fact<\/p>\n
which is admissible in evidence. Hence the statement of<\/p>\n
a person either oral or written who is dead with regard to<\/p>\n
his cause of death is dying declaration. However this<\/p>\n
statement either oral or written, to be treated as dying<\/p>\n
declaration is required to be proved. It has to be proved<\/p>\n
that the statement, oral or written actually made by the<\/p>\n
deceased. The statement may be oral or verbal or the
\n              6<\/span><\/p>\n
statement may be written but that statement is the<\/p>\n
statement of the deceased is required to be proved. But<\/p>\n
mere a rumour that deceased was heard by some one is<\/p>\n
not admissible in evidence. If the statement is verbal<\/p>\n
then it is required to be proved by the person who heard<\/p>\n
it. The person who heard must come in dock to say that<\/p>\n
he heard the statement.    If a person who heard the<\/p>\n
statement and recorded it then he may refresh his<\/p>\n
memory by seeing the record he made. If the person<\/p>\n
who is unable to remember what he has heard then he<\/p>\n
may prove the record with assurance that he correctly<\/p>\n
recorded it and he may testify the recorded statement.<\/p>\n
To prove the statement as written statement it must be<\/p>\n
proved that statement was in writing of the person who<\/p>\n
made the declaration i.e. in writing of the deceased.<\/p>\n
However, if the deceased is unable to write and record<\/p>\n
was made on her statement then the person who recorded<\/p>\n
the said statement must come before the court to say that<\/p>\n
he recorded the statement on dictation of the victim and<\/p>\n
further he must satisfy that said statement was read over<\/p>\n
to the victim and the victim accepted what was written<\/p>\n
on her dictation. This written record must be proved by
\n              7<\/span><\/p>\n
the person who heard it and satisfy the court that same<\/p>\n
was read over and explain to the victim which she found<\/p>\n
to be correct. However, this proposition of law has been<\/p>\n
relied on judgment in Cr. Appeal No. 227 of 1998<\/p>\n
decided on 16. 09. 2011.\n<\/p>\n
         11. However it is pertinent to mention that mere<\/p>\n
formal prove of writing or signature is only prove that<\/p>\n
the document has been written by the person but does<\/p>\n
not prove the content. However to proof the contents of<\/p>\n
the document witness is to be examined on the fact.<\/p>\n
         12. However, reverting back to the facts and<\/p>\n
circumstance of the case, here P.W. 5 has proved the<\/p>\n
signature of the victim Pulbati Kumari on the written<\/p>\n
report which has been marked as Ext. 2. He (P.W.5) has<\/p>\n
not proved that who wrote the content of the written<\/p>\n
report on which the victim signed.     However, he has<\/p>\n
stated in cross-examination that the victim when came to<\/p>\n
the police station was very weak. She was brought to<\/p>\n
police station being supported by her father (P.W.5) and<\/p>\n
brothers (P.W. 1 and P.W.3). He do not know from<\/p>\n
whom the contents of the written report, on the basis of<\/p>\n
which F.I.R. lodged, was got written. Hence from the
\n                 8<\/span><\/p>\n
evidence it emerges that only signature of the victim on<\/p>\n
the written report was proved. Who wrote the contents<\/p>\n
of the written report has not been established. There is<\/p>\n
no evidence at all that the said statement was recorded<\/p>\n
on the statement of the victim. There is no evidence at<\/p>\n
all of any person in the entire evidence that the victim<\/p>\n
ever stated about the contents in the written report.<\/p>\n
Hence the status of the written report is not more than a<\/p>\n
rumour and merely because signature of the victim has<\/p>\n
been proved on the written report, the content of the<\/p>\n
written report will not be admissible in evidence under<\/p>\n
Section 32 of the Evidence Act for treating it the dying<\/p>\n
declaration because it has neither been proved to be<\/p>\n
either an oral statement of the deceased.       The said<\/p>\n
content of the written report has neither been proved as<\/p>\n
oral or verbal statement made the deceased. No person<\/p>\n
has come forward to say that he heard the victim making<\/p>\n
that statement and hence not an oral declaration of the<\/p>\n
victim.\n<\/p>\n
          13.       The said statement is not a written<\/p>\n
statement of the victim as the same is neither in the<\/p>\n
writing of the victim nor written on her dictation nor has
\n                 9<\/span><\/p>\n
been proved that the same has been read over and<\/p>\n
explain to her nor that she accept it to be true. The record<\/p>\n
of unknown person with a signature of victim is not a<\/p>\n
written statement even if it is signed by the victim. As it<\/p>\n
is the declaration which is admissible but not the record.<\/p>\n
To get the status of declaration it must be established<\/p>\n
that the said record was recorded correctly at the<\/p>\n
dictation of the declarant and was read over and<\/p>\n
explained to her and unless the same is done is not<\/p>\n
admissible in evidence treat it as a dying declaration.<\/p>\n
          14. However, the trial court treated the written<\/p>\n
report as dying merely on the pretext that written report<\/p>\n
and death of the victim was proximate and draw analogy<\/p>\n
on the basis of A.I.R. 1984 S.C. 1622 that Prosecutrix<\/p>\n
will not tell a lie.\n<\/p>\n
          15. However, it is pertinent to mention that<\/p>\n
admissibility or relevancy of the statement oral and<\/p>\n
written is one thing, but Section 32 of the Evidence Act<\/p>\n
is admissible in Evidence Act as an exception to the<\/p>\n
general rule that hearsay evidence has been admitted in<\/p>\n
evidence is another thing.     However, before treating a<\/p>\n
declaration or statement to be a dying declaration it is
\n                10<\/span><\/p>\n
required to be proved that the statement is really<\/p>\n
statement made by the deceased so that rumour may not<\/p>\n
take place of prove.       The considerations of those<\/p>\n
materials are required to be relevant i.e. admissible in<\/p>\n
evidence. The mode of prove of oral statement is under<\/p>\n
Section 60 of Evidence Act and in case of written<\/p>\n
statement under section 64 and 67 of the Evidence Act.<\/p>\n
         16.    However,    in   decision   reported     in<\/p>\n
A.I.R.1984 S.C. 1622 the evidence of the dying<\/p>\n
declaration was the letter of the deceased addressed to<\/p>\n
her sisters and friends as well as oral statement made by<\/p>\n
the deceased to her father, mother, sisters, and friends.<\/p>\n
The father, mother, sister and friends deposed in that<\/p>\n
case as P.W. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 20. They in their evidence<\/p>\n
stated that the deceased disclosed about the occurrence<\/p>\n
of ill treatment about subjecting cruelty and demand.<\/p>\n
This evidence and statement of the witnesses about<\/p>\n
disclosure by victim admissible in evidence to prove as<\/p>\n
oral statement of the deceased. Letter in the writing of<\/p>\n
the victim was admissible as written statement in the<\/p>\n
writing of the victim. Hence the statement of the victim<\/p>\n
which was proved by these witnesses by their
\n                11<\/span><\/p>\n
depositions in court was treated as dying declaration.<\/p>\n
         17.    However,    here    in   the   facts     and<\/p>\n
circumstances of the case, none has come forward to<\/p>\n
depose that the victim ever disclosed about the fact<\/p>\n
mentioned in the written report.     Here the father has<\/p>\n
turned hostile and has not supported the case that victim<\/p>\n
ever disclosed before him about the rape or about the<\/p>\n
fact of termination of pregnancy of putting Jaributi<\/p>\n
causing death. Neither P.W. 1 and 3 brothers of the<\/p>\n
victim have come forward nor P.W. 6 has come forward<\/p>\n
to prove that victim ever disclosed them about rape or<\/p>\n
termination of pregnancy the cause of death. Hence<\/p>\n
analogy drawn on the basis of decision reported in A.I.R.<\/p>\n
1984 S.C. has not sustainable regarding admissibility of<\/p>\n
the statement to be treated as dying declaration.<\/p>\n
         18. The trial court further misconceived drawn<\/p>\n
the analogy on the basis of decision reported in 1991 (2)<\/p>\n
BLJ 245 that written report admissible in evidence under<\/p>\n
Section 294 Cr.P.C. Section 294 Cr.P.C. and decision<\/p>\n
reported in 1991 (2) BLJ 245 is only mean to cover those<\/p>\n
documents which requires formally proved. To prove<\/p>\n
the document formally only mean that document has
\n              12<\/span><\/p>\n
been written by the person, but the content of the<\/p>\n
document is not proved by formally proving the<\/p>\n
document. One cannot say that by formally proving the<\/p>\n
Fardbeyan in writing of the victim, he has proved the<\/p>\n
prosecution case to record the conviction. It can only be<\/p>\n
said to be a prove that the said Fardbeyan is in writing of<\/p>\n
so and so, but to prove the content made in the<\/p>\n
Fardbeyan the author of the Fardbeyan is required to<\/p>\n
come to prove the fact else it has only the status of<\/p>\n
corroborative evidence. The content of a document<\/p>\n
which is not substantive evidence is required to be<\/p>\n
proved on deposition by a competent witness and to be<\/p>\n
tested by cross-examination can never be tendered in<\/p>\n
evidence by formal prove. Hence learned trial court<\/p>\n
misconceive itself taking the written report as dying<\/p>\n
declaration or formally proving the signature of the<\/p>\n
victim Pulbati Kumari on written report marked as Ext.<\/p>\n
2.<\/p>\n
         19. However, except written report there is no<\/p>\n
evidence at all regarding implication of the accused<\/p>\n
person to record conviction and written report cannot be<\/p>\n
treated as a dying declaration as written report is neither
\n                             13<\/span><\/p>\n
               oral nor documentary evidence as there is no evidence to<\/p>\n
               proof that any statement either written or documentary is<\/p>\n
               the statement of the deceased with regard to the cause of<\/p>\n
               death.\n<\/p>\n
                        20. Hence order of conviction and sentence<\/p>\n
               recorded by the lower court is hereby set aside and the<\/p>\n
               appeal is allowed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
