Kanade, J.<\/p>\n<p>1. Heard the learned APP for the State. None appears for the respondent though he is served.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The  allegation  against  the  accused  is  that  he  is  dealing  in  scrap  material  and,  during  search  which  was  taken  of  his  shop  on  16\/1\/1986,  railway  material  worth Rs. 400\/- was  found  in  his  possession.  The  accused  confessed  that  he  has  purchased  the  said  material  from  hawkers.   A  certificate  was  obtained  from  the  expert  who  stated  that  the  property  in  question  belonged  to  railways.  A  charge  was  framed  under section  3(a)  of   the R.P. (U.P.) Act, 1966 and the Trial Court perused the evidence adduced by the prosecution. However, the accused was acquitted essentially on the ground that the search and seizure which was taken was in violation of section 100 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The Trial Court further observed that the confession was not admissible in evidence as the provisions of section 30 were not attracted in the instant case.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. The learned APP has taken me through the judgment and order of the Trial Court as also the evidence adduced by the prosecution. P.W. 3 -Dhondiba Narayan Jadhav has admitted in his cross-examination that the property which was seized from the accused was not in a serviceable condition. There is no evidence to show that there was a theft of the said property from the railway yard. Thus, the confession which was recorded, in my view, is clearly in breach of section 30 of the Evidence Act. Secondly, the property in question was admittedly not in serviceable condition. P.W.3 also was not in a position to state how old the property was. He has further admitted that the propery which was in unserviceable condition is auctioned and sold. There is no reason to interfere with the order of the Trial Court. Trial  Court  has  given  cogent  reasons  for  coming  to  the  conclusion  that  the  prosecution  had  not  proved  its case  beyond the reasonable  doubt.  Appeal  is,     therefore, dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bombay High Court The State Of Maharashtra vs Ibrahim S\/O Yakub Shaikh on 9 December, 2004 Author: V Kanade Bench: V Kanade JUDGMENT V.M.
