The respondents faced trial for allegedly committing homicidal<\/p>\n<p>      death of two persons (hereinafter referred to as D1 and D2 respectively).         The<\/p>\n<p>      occurrence according to the prosecution took place on 7.12.1995 around 7.30 P.M. All<\/p>\n<p>      the four accused persons entered into the house of the deceased Nos. 1 and 2. A-1<\/p>\n<p>      held Nachimuthu Gounder while A-2 inflicted blows on the neck and cheek. A-4<\/p>\n<p>      threw down Saraswati while A-3 caught inflicted blow on her head, face and the eye.<\/p>\n<p>      PW2 who was about 12 years then was an eye-witness to the occurrence. Ramu i.e.<\/p>\n<p>      PW2 tried to avoid the attack which was made on him because of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      -2-<\/span><br \/>\nthe instigation of A1. A2 inflicted blows on the head of PW2. The injured persons<\/p>\n<p>were taken to the hospital, PW2 regained consciousness and his statement was<\/p>\n<p>recorded by PW6 the investigating Officer on 13.12.1995.       On completion of the<\/p>\n<p>investigation, charge sheet was filed. Since the accused persons pleaded innocence,<\/p>\n<p>trial was held. The Trial court relying on the evidence of PW2 held the accused<\/p>\n<p>persons guilty and convicted each under Section 302 and 307 read with Section 34<\/p>\n<p>IPC. Each was sentenced to undergo imprisonment for life for the first offence, nine<\/p>\n<p>years for the second offence. The accused persons preferred appeal before the High<\/p>\n<p>Court which as noted above directed acquittal. The primary reason which appears to<\/p>\n<p>have weighed with the High Court to direct acquittal was that PW2 was not a in a fit<\/p>\n<p>condition to give the statement. Reference was made to the seriousness of the injuries<\/p>\n<p>sustained by him as stated by the Doctor PW17.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Learned counsel for the appellant-State in Criminal Appeal No. 140\/2003<\/p>\n<p>submitted that the conclusion of the High Court was based on surmices and<\/p>\n<p>conjecture. Many salient factors have been lost sight of by the High Court. There<\/p>\n<p>was nothing infirm in the evidence of PW2 to discard the same on the hypothetical<\/p>\n<p>ground that he was not in a position to give any statement. Learned counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>respondent-accused persons supported the judgment of the acquittal.           It was<\/p>\n<p>submitted that PW2 was a child at the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>time of occurrence. Child witnesses are prone to be tutored and entire statement of<\/p>\n<p>PW2 purported to have been recorded is the outcome of such tutored. It was also<\/p>\n<p>pointed out with reference to the evidence regarding nature of injuries, that it is<\/p>\n<p>highly improbable that PW2 was in a for condition to give any statement.<\/p>\n<p>          As rightly contended by learned counsel for the appellant the High Court<br \/>\nappears to have proceeded on surmises to hold that it was not possible on the part of<\/p>\n<p>PW2 to give any statement. He was admitted on 08.12.1995 as an indoor patient. The<\/p>\n<p>evidence of PW17 shows that he was in a position to give a statement as he was<\/p>\n<p>conscious.     PW17 categorically stated that on 9.12.1995, 10.12.1995 PW2 had<\/p>\n<p>regained consciousness and therefore the hypothetical conclusion of the High Court<\/p>\n<p>that PW2 was not in a fit condition to give any statement is clearly unsustainable. To<\/p>\n<p>add further vulnerability the statement of PW2 reached the concerned court on the<\/p>\n<p>next date i.e. 14.12.1995. This is a very significant factor.<\/p>\n<p>             In view of the above, we find that the High Court had not indicated any<\/p>\n<p>plausible reason to discard the evidence of PW2. The High Court did not examine the<\/p>\n<p>acceptability, credibility and truthfulness or otherwise of PW2&#8217;s evidence         by<\/p>\n<p>analysing the evidence vis-a-vis the other factors and materials on record. In the<\/p>\n<p>circumstances while setting aside the impugned judgment of the High Court we remit<\/p>\n<p>the matter to the High Court to consider the appeal afresh and<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                  -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>decide whether the evidence of PW2 is sufficient to fasten the guilt on the accused<\/p>\n<p>persons as projected by prosecution.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The appeals are allowed to the aforesaid extent.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                          &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.J.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         (Dr. ARIJIT PASAYAT)<\/p>\n<p>                                        &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..J.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                         (C.K.THAKKER)<\/p>\n<p>                                                      &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..J.\n<\/p>\n<p>                    (LOKESHWAR SINGH PANTA)<\/p>\n<p>New Delhi,<br \/>\nOctober 21, 2008.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supreme Court of India State By Inspector Of Police, &#8230; vs Rakiappan &amp; Ors on 21 October, 2008 Author: .
