JUDGMENT<\/p>\n
 Chandrachud, J. <\/p>\n
(1) This is one of those cases in which a verdict would shock the conscience of the public. A child aged 2 fell down from  an apartment on the  4th floor or a building situated on  Netaji Subash Road.  The tragedy occurred on  the 14th of October, 1961, at about 10-30 a. m.  When the father had gone to his office, the maid was in the bathroom and the mother was reading a news-paper  in the drawing  room.  Presumably, the child crawled to the balcony, got on  a chair, and lost her balance. On hearing the noise, the mother looked out only to find that the child was lying motionless on  the  payment below. In these circumstances we are unable to  appreciate how and on what  basis  the Coroners’ Jury came to the conclusion that the mother must be  held guilty  of negligence. To permit the seeds of a prosecution to be  sown on  these facts, seems to  us to be a perversion of  justice, and if we have  the power,  we must grant  the relief prayed for by the petitioner. The  verdict of the Coroner’s  jury seems to us to be  based on  no evidence at all, and it would be unfair to the mother, to permit that verdict  to stand.\n<\/p>\n
 (2) The learned Assistant Government Pleader who appears on behalf of the State, contends  that a Coroner’s Court is not one of those Courts which  are established in the  heirarchy of Courts under the Criminal Procedure Code, and  he  argues that we have no jurisdiction to quash the verdict  returned by the jurors of the Coroner’s Court. On  the other hand,  Mr.  Mengade who appears  on behalf of the petitioner, contends  that this Court has got jurisdiction  to control  the deliberations  before the Coroner and in proper  cases this Court must exercise  its jurisdiction  either to  amend or quash the  verdict or the inquisition.\n<\/p>\n
 (3) Turning to the provisions of the Coroner’s Act, 1871,  section 29 provides that:\n<\/p>\n
 “No inquisition  found upon or by any  inquest shall be  quashed for any technical defect.\n<\/p>\n
 In  any case of technical defect a Judge of the High  Court may, if he thinks  fit order the inquisition  to  be  amended, and the same shall forthwith be amended accordingly.”\n<\/p>\n
On a plain  reading of this section it would appear that  the circumstances  in which  the High Court can  quash the verdict or the inquisition, have not been clearly or  fully  set out in  the section.  What is provided is  that an inquisition  cannot be quashed for a techinical  defect. The provision  that  an inquisition cannot be  quashed  for a mere  technical  defect  must, however, carry with it  the implication that the High Court has the power to quash an inquisition, but the intention of the Legislature was that the power  possessed by the High Court to quash  an inquisition  should only be exercised in cases in  which the  inquisition suffers  from a  substantial  as distinguished from a technical  defect.  If the verdict of the  Coroner’s Jury is assailed on a technical  plea, the second part of section 29    of the Coroner’s Act,  provides that rather  than quash a verdict, the High Court may amend  the verdict so as to cure the  inquisition of all technical infirmities.  In  a word, therefore, the first part of section 29   implies that the High Court has the power to quash an inquisition,  the power being  circumscribed  so as to be exercised  to cure substantial defects and the second  part of the Section confers on the High Court the power to amend an inquisition  so as to remove the technical defects  from which the inquisition  suffers.\n<\/p>\n
 (4) If any authority were required for the proposition that the High Court does posses such a power, one would be found in a judgment reported in In re, Umar Sobani, AIR 1927 Bom 163. In that case the question which arose before the Coroner was whether a certain  person had died on account of  poisoning. The Coroner’s Jury returned a somewhat non -committal verdict, because, all that it  held was that the death was caused  on account of opium poisoning but that in the absence of reliable date, it was impossible to say whether the opium  was self-administered  or whether it was administered by an outside agency, or was taken by the  deceased  accidentally. After the  jury  returned its verdict  the  Coroner, disagreeing with the  verdict, made  a reference to this Court, and one of the preliminary questions  which arose on the reference was  whether the Coroner has powers analogous  to the powers conferred on Sessions Judges by Section 307  of the Criminal Produce Code.   This court held that the Coroner has no power to make a reference, but both Mr. Justice Shah and Mr. Justice Fewcett took the view that it  would be open to an aggrieved party to make an application  to this Court asking that the verdict of the jury or the inquisition should be suitably amended or quashed. Having held that  on a proper application being made in that behalf, the jurisdiction of the High Court could  be invoked either for amending or quashing the inquisition,  the learned Judges set out  to ascertain whether on the facts and circumstances of the case before them there was any  justification  for  quashing the verdict; and  eventually the conclusion which they reached was that since  the question before them was one of appreciation  of evidence it was not proper to quash the verdict of the jury. There is yet another reason  and that  reason is that  the jury by its verdict did not record any conclusion which  would affect the petitioner  who had made the application for quashing the verdict. As we have stated earlier,  the verdict of the jury was non-committal and one part of that  verdict  expressly  stated that in the absence of adequate evidence,  the jury was unable to come to any definite conclusion  as to the cause of death.\n<\/p>\n
 (5) In the case before us, the question is not one of appreciation of evidence, for, the learned  Assistant  Government Pleader has fairly conceded that there is no evidence showing  that the mother was guilty of any negligence. The only  material which was put before the Coroner’s Jury, was the statements which were made by the father of  the child, then by the mother of the child and lastly by  Sub-Inspector Kadam who investigated into the death of the child. If anything,  these statements show that there was  no negligence on the part of the mother whatsoever, and indeed none of these statements contains even a faint suggestion that the mother had contributed to the death of her child by any negligence on her part. In our opinion,  there is no evidence or  dap whatsoever, which would justify the conclusion to which the Coroner’s Jury  has come, and for that reason  we must allow this application and exercise our  jurisdiction  under the first part of section 29  of the Coroner’s Act, 1871 by directing  that the verdict of the Jury and the inquisition do stand partially  quashed.\n<\/p>\n
 (6) We, therefore, order the last part of the verdict,  viz., “That  the fall was due to the negligence of the mother,” will stand quashed.\n<\/p>\n
(7)                     Order accordingly.\n \n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
