At the end of trial, he was<br \/>\n\tacquitted.  However, it is the prosecution case that since the<br \/>\n\tRespondent &#8211; accused wanted to marry one lady called Labhuben<br \/>\n\tsister of said accused   Kirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami, but<br \/>\n\tKirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami was not willing for said marriage,<br \/>\n\tand therefore, keeping grudge in his mind, the accused had planted<br \/>\n\tthose contraband substances in the house of Kirtigiri Kailashbharti<br \/>\n\tGoswami and subsequently he himself had informed the police about<br \/>\n\tsuch contraband substances lying in the house of Kirtigiri<br \/>\n\tKailashbharti Goswami and pursuant to such information Kirtigiri<br \/>\n\tKailashbharti Goswami was booked in that case arising under the NDPS<br \/>\n\tAct.  It is further the case of the prosecution that, since, at the<br \/>\n\trelevant time, the accused was absconded, he could not be tried<br \/>\n\talong with Kirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami.  Subsequently, the<br \/>\n\taccused came to be arrested and after the completion of<br \/>\n\tinvestigation, charge sheet came to be filed in the Court of learned<br \/>\n\tJMFC, Viramgam.  Since the offence alleged against the accused is<br \/>\n\texclusively triable by the Special Court, the learned JMFC, Viramgam<br \/>\n\tcommitted the case to the Special Court at Viramgam, which was<br \/>\n\tregistered as NDPS Case No. 1 of 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.2\t\tThe<br \/>\n\ttrial Court framed Charge against the accused to which he did not<br \/>\n\tplead guilty and claimed to be tried.  Thereupon, the prosecution<br \/>\n\tadduced its oral and documentary evidence.  The prosecution examined<br \/>\n\t9 witnesses detailed in paragraph 7 of the impugned judgment and<br \/>\n\torder and produced 21 documents.   After the prosecution concluded<br \/>\n\tits oral evidence, the trial Court recorded further statement of the<br \/>\n\taccused under Section 313 of the Code and the accused in his further<br \/>\n\tstatement denied generally all the incriminating circumstances<br \/>\n\tbrought to his notice by the trial Court and stated that he was<br \/>\n\tfalsely implicated in this case.  After evaluating the oral and<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence on record and the submissions made on behalf of<br \/>\n\tboth the sides, the trial Court came to the conclusion that the<br \/>\n\tprosecution failed to prove its case beyond any reasonable doubt and<br \/>\n\tultimately recorded his acquittal, which has given rise to this<br \/>\n\tState Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWe have<br \/>\n\tconsidered the submissions advanced by Mr. R.C.Kodekar, learned APP<br \/>\n\tfor the Applicant   State of Gujarat, we have perused the impugned<br \/>\n\tjudgment and order so also the record and proceedings of NDPS Case<br \/>\n\tNo. 1 of 2009, which we have called for vide order dated 22.7.2010.<br \/>\n\tThis Court has also undertaken a complete and comprehensive<br \/>\n\tappreciation of all vital features of the case and the entire<br \/>\n\tevidence on record with reference to broad and reasonable<br \/>\n\tprobabilities of the case.\n<\/p>\n<p>Re-examining<br \/>\n\tthe evidence on record, it clearly transpires that so far as the<br \/>\n\taccused is concerned, the only allegation levelled against him is<br \/>\n\tthat on account of animosity, he planted the contraband substances<br \/>\n\tin the house of Kirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami and passed on such<br \/>\n\tinformation to police, and pursuant to that, Kirtigiri Kailashbharti<br \/>\n\tGoswami was arrested and tried in connection with the offence under<br \/>\n\tthe NDPS Act.  To prove this charge, most of the witnesses examined<br \/>\n\tby the prosecution in this case are pertaining to the case qua<br \/>\n\tKirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami, who, as observed by the trial<br \/>\n\tCourt, subsequently came to be acquitted from the said case.  The<br \/>\n\ttrial Court had therefore rightly observed that the evidence<br \/>\n\tinvolving Kirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami adduced by the prosecution<br \/>\n\tin the instant case was of no significance.  The prosecution<br \/>\n\texamined only 2 witnesses in connection with the allegation levelled<br \/>\n\tagainst the accused, namely PW-5   Ishwarbhai Kanabhai Prajapati<br \/>\n\tand PW-6   Alkaben Kirtigiri Goswami.  Both these witnesses turned<br \/>\n\thostile and did not support the prosecution case that it was the<br \/>\n\taccused who had planted the contraband substances in the house of<br \/>\n\tKirtigiri Kailashbharti Goswami.  It is further pertinent to note<br \/>\n\tthat a raid was also conducted in the house of the accused and<br \/>\n\tnothing objectionable came to be found from his house.  In the<br \/>\n\taforesaid background, the trial Court came to the conclusion that<br \/>\n\tthe prosecution failed to prove its case beyond any reasonable doubt<br \/>\n\tagainst the accused and ultimately recorded his acquittal.\n<\/p>\n<p>On<br \/>\n\toverall  view of the matter, according to us, the prosecution has<br \/>\n\tnot been able to bring home the charge levelled against the accused<br \/>\n\tand the complicity of the accused for commission of the offence is<br \/>\n\tnot established as there is no evidence against the accused to<br \/>\n\tconnect him with the alleged crime.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tIn view of<br \/>\n\tthe unsatisfactory evidence led by the prosecution, we are of the<br \/>\n\tconsidered opinion that no illegality or infirmity has been<br \/>\n\tcommitted by the trial Court in acquitting the accused of the<br \/>\n\toffences with which he was charged.  We find ourselves in complete<br \/>\n\tagreement with the ultimate conclusion and the resultant order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal, as, in our view, no other conclusion was possible except<br \/>\n\tthe one reached by the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>This<br \/>\n\tis an acquittal appeal. The principles which would govern and<br \/>\n\tregulate the hearing of appeal by the High Court against an order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal passed by the Trial Court have been very succinctly<br \/>\n\texplained by the Supreme Court in the matter of  AJIT SAVANT<br \/>\n\tMAJAGAVI VS. STATE OF KARNATAKA, reported in AIR 1997<br \/>\n\tp.3255.\n<\/p>\n<p>(a)<br \/>\n\tIn an appeal against an order of acquittal, the High Court possesses<br \/>\n\tall the powers, and nothing less than the powers it possesses while<br \/>\n\thearing an appeal against an order of conviction.\n<\/p>\n<p>(b)<br \/>\n\tThe High Court has the power to reconsider the whole issue,<br \/>\n\treappraise the evidence and come to its own conclusion and findings<br \/>\n\tin place of the findings recorded by trial court, if the said<br \/>\n\tfindings are against the weight of the evidence on record, or in<br \/>\n\tother words, perverse.\n<\/p>\n<p>(c)<br \/>\n\tBefore reversing the finding of acquittal, the High Court has to<br \/>\n\tconsider each ground on which the order of acquittal was based and<br \/>\n\tto record its own reasons for not accepting those grounds not<br \/>\n\tsubscribing to the view expressed by the trial Court that the<br \/>\n\taccused is entitled to acquittal.\n<\/p>\n<p>(d)<br \/>\n\tIn reversing the finding of acquittal, the High Court has to keep in<br \/>\n\tview the fact that the presumption of innocence is still available<br \/>\n\tin favour of the accused and the same stands fortified and<br \/>\n\tstrengthened by the order of acquittal passed in his favour by the<br \/>\n\ttrial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>(e)<br \/>\n\tIf the High Court, on a fresh scrutiny and reappraised of the<br \/>\n\tevidence and other material on record, is of the opinion that there<br \/>\n\tis another view which can be reasonably taken, then the view which<br \/>\n\tfavours the accused should be adopted.\n<\/p>\n<p>(f)<br \/>\n\tThe High Court has also to keep in mind that the trial Court had the<br \/>\n\tadvantage of looking at the demeanour of witnesses and observing<br \/>\n\ttheir conduct in the Court, especially in the witness box.\n<\/p>\n<p>(g)<br \/>\n\tThe High Court has also to keep in mind that even at that stage, the<br \/>\n\taccused was entitled to benefit of doubt. The doubt should be such<br \/>\n\tas a reasonable person would honestly and conscientiously entertain<br \/>\n\tas to the guilt of the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/1258127\/\">In<br \/>\n\t ANOKH SINGH vs. STATE OF PUNJAB,<\/a> reported in AIR 1992<br \/>\n\tSC p.598, Supreme Court has held that in an appeal against<br \/>\n\tacquittal, the High Court should attach greater weight to<br \/>\n\tappreciation of evidence by the Trial Judge who had the occasion to<br \/>\n\twatch the demeanour of the witnesses.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\tis a cardinal principle of criminal jurisprudence that in an<br \/>\n\tacquittal appeal if  other view is  possible then also appellate<br \/>\n\tCourt cannot substitute its own view by reversing the acquittal into<br \/>\n\t conviction, unless  the  findings  of  the trial Court are<br \/>\n\tperverse,  contrary to  the  material on  record, palpably  wrong,<br \/>\n\tmanifestly erroneous or demonstrably unsustainable.  <a href=\"\/doc\/303029\/\">(See  Ramesh<br \/>\n\tBabulal Doshi  V. State of Gujarat<\/a> (1996) 9 SCC 225).  In the<br \/>\n\tinstant case, the learned APP has not been able  to  point out to us<br \/>\n\tas to how the findings recorded  by the trial Court are perverse,<br \/>\n\tcontrary  to material on record, palpably wrong, manifestly<br \/>\n\terroneous  or demonstrably unsustainable.\n<\/p>\n<p>On<br \/>\n\toverall appreciation of evidence,  this Court is  satisfied  that<br \/>\n\tthere is no infirmity in the reasons assigned  by  the trial Court<br \/>\n\tfor acquitting the accused.  Suffice it to say that the trial Court<br \/>\n\thas given cogent and convincing  reasons  for  acquitting the<br \/>\n\taccused and the learned A.P.P. has  failed to dislodge the reasons<br \/>\n\tgiven by the trial Court and  convince  this  Court  to take  a<br \/>\n\tview contrary to the one taken by the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Seen<br \/>\n\t in  the  above  context, we do not find any valid reason or<br \/>\n\tjustifiable ground to interfere with the impugned  judgment<br \/>\n\tand order acquitting the accused of the offences with  which  he was<br \/>\n\tcharged.\n<\/p>\n<p>For<br \/>\n\tthe foregoing reasons, the application fails and accordingly it is<br \/>\n\trejected.  Resultantly, leave to appeal is refused, and as a<br \/>\n\tconsequence thereof, Criminal Appeal no. 605 of 2010 is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(A.M.\n<\/p>\n<p>Kapadia, J.)<\/p>\n<p>(J.C.Upadhyaya,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>\tJayanti*<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Appearance : vs Unknown on 12 August, 2010 Author: A.M.Kapadia,&amp;Nbsp;Honourable Mr.Justice J.C.Upadhyaya,&amp;Nbsp;
