The
\n\tappellant has preferred this Appeal under Section 378(1)(3) of the
\n\tCode of Criminal Procedure, 1973 against the judgment and order of
\n\tacquittal dated 03rd June 2000 passed by the learned
\n\tJudicial Magistrate First Class, Mirzapur, Ahmedabad Rural in
\n\tSummary Case No. 1229 of 1999, whereby the learned Magistrate has
\n\tacquitted the respondents-accused of the charges levelled against
\n\tthem.\n<\/p>\n
The
\n\tshort facts of the prosecution case is that the on 02nd\/03rd
\n\tMarch 1999 the complainant Police Inspector raided the premises I.e.
\n\tnear the Swimming Pool in Pleasant Club situated in the sim of
\n\tVillage Ghuma. It is the case of the complainant
\n\tthat Maneklal Chandulal Patel is running gambling den. The
\n\tcomplainant Police Inspector
\n\thas raided the said premises and seized Playing Cards and an amount
\n\tof Rs.01,01,350\/- (Rupees One Lac One Thousand Three Hundred Fifty
\n\tOnly) in presence of Panchas. Thereafter, for the said offence
\n\tcomplaint was registered against the respondents-accused
\n\tin the Court of learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Mirzapur,
\n\tAhmedabad Rural.\n<\/p>\n
Thereafter
\n\tthe trial was conducted before the learned Magistrate. To prove the
\n\tcase of the prosecution, prosecution has produced oral as well as
\n\tdocumentary evidence. After considering the oral as well as
\n\tdocumentary evidence, the learned Magistrate has acquitted the
\n\trespondents-accused from the charges alleged against them by the
\n\tjudgment and order dated 03rd June 2000.\n<\/p>\n
Being
\n\taggrieved and dissatisfied with the said judgment and order dated
\n\t03rd June 2000 passed by the learned Magistrate in
\n\tCriminal Case No. 1229 of 1999, the appellant has preferred the
\n\tabove mentioned Criminal Appeal.\n<\/p>\n
I
\n\thave heard Mr. M.G. Nanavati, learned Additional Public Prosecutor,
\n\tfor the appellant. I have also gone through the papers and the
\n\tjudgment and order passed by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n
Just
\n\tto prove the case of the prosecution, prosecution has produced oral
\n\tas well as documentary evidence. Heard Mr. M.G. Nanavati, learned
\n\tAdditional Public Prosecutor, for the appellant-State.  He has taken
\n\tme through the evidence of prosecution witnesses. He has vehemently
\n\targued that the learned Judge has not properly considered the  oral
\n\tas well as documentary evidence produced on record. He has read oral
\n\tas well as documentary evidence and vehemently argued that the
\n\tcomplainant-present appellant has prima-facie case. He, therefore,
\n\tcontended that the judgment and order passed by the learned
\n\tMagistrate is without appreciating the facts and evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n
I
\n\thave gone through the judgment of the Trial Court. I have also
\n\tperused the reasons assigned by the learned Magistrate.\n<\/p>\n
At
\n\tthe outset it is required to be noted that the principles which
\n\twould govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court
\n\tagainst an order of acquittal passed by the Trial Court have been
\n\tvery succinctly explained by the Apex Court in a catena of
\n\tdecisions. In the case of
\n\tM.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani Vs. State of Kerala & Anr, reported
\n\tin (2006)6 SCC, 39,
\n\tthe Apex Court has narrated about the powers of the High Court in
\n\tappeal against the order of acquittal. In para 54 of the decision,
\n\tthe Apex Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n
 54.
\n\tIn any event, the High Court entertained an appeal treating to be an
\n\tappeal against acquittal, it was in fact exercising the revisional
\n\tjurisdiction. Even while exercising an appellate power against a
\n\tjudgment of acquittal, the High Court should have borne in mind the
\n\twell-settled principles of law that where two  view are possible,
\n\tthe appellate  court should not interfere with the finding of
\n\tacquittal recorded by the court below.\n<\/p>\n
Thus,
\n\tit is a settled principle that while exercising appellate power,
\n\teven if two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the
\n\tevidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the
\n\tfinding of acquittal recorded by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n
Even
\n\tin a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of State
\n\tof Goa Vs. Sanjay Thakran & Anr. Reported in (2007)3 SCC 75,
\n\tthe Court has reiterated
\n\tthe powers of the High Court in such cases. In para 16 of the said
\n\tdecision the Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n
 16.
\nFrom the aforesaid decisions, it is apparent \tthat while
\nexercising the powers in appeal against the order of acquittal, the
\nCourt of \tappeal would not ordinarily interfere with the order of
\nacquittal unless the approach of the lower Court is vitiated by some
\nmanifest illegality and the conclusion arrived at would not be
\narrived at by any reasonable person and, therefore, the decision is
\nto be characterized as perverse. Merely because two views are
\npossible, the Court of appeal would not take the view which would
\nupset the judgment delivered by the Court below. However, the
\nappellate court has a power to review the evidence if it is of the
\nview that the conclusion arrived at by the Court below is perverse
\nand the Court has committed a manifest error of law and ignored the
\nmaterial on record. A duty is cast upon the appellate court, in such
\ncircumstances, to re-appreciate the evidence to arrive to a just
\ndecision on the basis of material placed on record to find out
\nwhether any of the accused is connected with the commission of the
\ncrime he is charged with.\n<\/p>\n
Similar
\n\tprinciple has been laid down by the Apex Court in the cases of State
\n\tof Uttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh & Ors, reported in 2007 AIR
\n\tSCW 5553 and
\n\tin Girja
\n\tPrasad (Dead) by LRs Vs. state of MP, reported in 2007 AIR SCW 5589.
\n\tThus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of
\n\tacquittal are well settled.\n<\/p>\n
It
\n\tis also a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the
\n\tappellate court is not required to re-write the judgment or to give
\n\tfresh reasoning, when the reasons assigned by the Court below are
\n\tfound to be just and proper. Such principle is laid down by the Apex
\n\tCourt in the case of State
\n\tof Karnataka Vs. Hemareddy, reported in AIR 1981 SC 1417.\n<\/p>\n
Thus,
\n\tin case the appellate court agrees with the reasons and the opinion
\n\tgiven by the lower court, then the discussion of evidence is not
\n\tnecessary.\n<\/p>\n
I
\n\thave gone through
\n\tthe judgment and order passed by the Trial Court. I have also
\n\tperused the oral as well as documentary evidence led before the
\n\tTrial Court and also considered the submissions made by learned
\n\tadvocate for the appellant.\n<\/p>\n
The
\n\tTrial Court has, after appreciating the oral as well as documentary
\n\tevidence, found that the witnesses have not supported the case of
\n\tthe prosecution.  It is also observed that all the witnesses have
\n\tturned hostile. Prosecution has also not taken evidence regarding
\n\tthe ownership of the pleasant Club and has not recorded statement of
\n\tthe owner of the pleasant Club.  It is also observed that the
\n\tprosecution has failed to prove Warrant at Exh. 13. It is
\n\testablished that when a person is booked under Gambling, game is
\n\trequired to be proved.  It is also observed that the prosecution has
\n\tfailed to prove the game of gambling. The Trial Court has observed
\n\tthat there are serious lacuna in the oral as well as documentary
\n\tevidence of prosecution. Nothing is produced on record of this
\n\tappeal to rebut the concrete findings of the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n
Thus,
\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charges against the
\n\trespondents-accused in the present appeal. The prosecution has
\n\tmiserably failed to prove the case against the respondents-accused.
\n\tThus, from the evidence itself it is established that the
\n\tprosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n
Learned
\n\tcounsel for the appellant is not in a position to show any evidence
\n\tto take a contrary view in the matter or that the approach of the
\n\tTrial Court is vitiated by some manifest illegality or that the
\n\tdecision is perverse or that the Trial Court has ignored the
\n\tmaterial evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n
In
\n\tabove view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that the
\n\tTrial Court was completely justified in acquitting the
\n\trespondents-accused of the charges levelled against them. I find
\n\tthat the findings recorded by the Trial Court are absolutely just
\n\tand proper and in recording the said findings, no illegality or
\n\tinfirmity has been committed by it.\n<\/p>\n
I
\n\tam, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate
\n\tconclusion and the resultant order of acquittal recorded by the
\n\tcourt below and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same.
\n\tHence the appeal is hereby dismissed. Record
\n\tand Proceedings to be sent back to the Trial Court, forthwith.  Bail
\n\tbonds, if any, shall stands cancelled.\n<\/p>\n
