A.P. James vs State on 15 October, 2008<\/div>\n
       \n\n  \n\n  \n\n \n \n  IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM\n\nCrl.Rev.Pet.No. 628 of 2001()\n\n\n\n1. A.P. JAMES\n                      ...  Petitioner\n\n                        Vs\n\n1. STATE\n                       ...

Justice THOMAS P.JOSEPH\n\n Dated :15\/10\/2008\n\n O R D E R\n                            THOMAS P. JOSEPH, J.\n                           --------------------------------------\n                             Crl.R.P. No.628 of 2001\n                           --------------------------------------\n                    Dated this the 15th day of October, 2008.\n\n                                        ORDER\n<\/pre>\n
              Heard both sides.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
              2.     Third accused faced trial along with three others for offences<\/p>\n
punishable under Section 457 and 380 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal<\/p>\n
Code (for short, ‘the Code’) the allegation being that on 27.7.1988 at about 2<\/p>\n
a.m. they, in furtherance of common intention trespassed into vettekkorumakan<\/p>\n
temple, breaking open the lock of outer door and committed theft of idol, lamps,<\/p>\n
etc. A4 was acquitted by the trial court. A1 to A3 were convicted. They took up<\/p>\n
the matter in appeal. A1 to A3 were acquitted. This Court initiated suo motu<\/p>\n
revision, set aside the acquittal and remitted the case to the appellate court for<\/p>\n
fresh disposal. While so, first accused died. Appellate court convicted A3 and<\/p>\n
acquitted A2.     A3 has come up in revision challenging his conviction and<\/p>\n
sentence.\n<\/p>\n
              3.     Counsel for revision petitioner submitted that there is no<\/p>\n
sufficient evidence to convict the revision petitioner.           According to learned<\/p>\n
counsel, the alleged discoveries at the instance of the revision petitioner are not<\/p>\n
properly proved and at any rate, there is no evidence of concealment. It is also<\/p>\n
submitted that there is no proper identification of the material objects alleged to<\/p>\n
be discovered at the instance of revision petitioner.<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.No.628\/2001<\/p>\n
                                        2<\/span><\/p>\n
              4.     PW2 who gave first information regarding the alleged<\/p>\n
incident claimed that the temple belonged to his family. On getting information<\/p>\n
about the incident, he came to the temple and learned about the theft. He<\/p>\n
identified MO1 series and MO2 series as the stolen idols, lamps, etc. PW1, the<\/p>\n
temporary priest of the temple claimed that he was in charge of the temple in the<\/p>\n
absence of his uncle, from 25.7.1988 onwards. He claimed that he had closed<\/p>\n
the temple on 27.7.1988 after pooja. Next day, the lock of the outer door of the<\/p>\n
temple and sreekovil were seen broken.       Idols and lamps kept in the temple<\/p>\n
were seen missing. PW 4 is the owner of the jeep. He was examined to say<\/p>\n
that revision petitioner and other accused had travelled in that jeep but he did not<\/p>\n
support the prosecution. PW5 is the registered owner of the jeep and claimed<\/p>\n
that he had sold the jeep to PW4. PW6 stated that his brother-in-law donated<\/p>\n
one of the stolen lamps to the temple. PW7 was examined to prove arrest of<\/p>\n
first accused and seizure of MO1 series but he did not support the prosecution.<\/p>\n
He admitted signature on Ext.P4, mahazar. PW8 claimed that as per direction<\/p>\n
of the Circle Inspector, he had taken out one lamp from an unused well in the<\/p>\n
presence of Circle Inspector and revision petitioner. He identified that lamp as<\/p>\n
MO2. He is an attestor in Ext.P6. PW9 is another attestor in Ext.P5, mahazar<\/p>\n
for seizure of the materials at the instance of revision petitioner but he did not<\/p>\n
support the prosecution.     PW10 is a director of a bank. He claimed that in<\/p>\n
connection with theft in that bank, he had been to the Circle Inspector and<\/p>\n
accompanied him to the place wherefrom discovery as per Ext.P5 was made.<\/p>\n
He stated that on 26.1.1989 at about 5 p.m. he saw revision petitioner showing<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.No.628\/2001<\/p>\n
                                          3<\/span><\/p>\n
a lamp in a well and one Narayanan (PW8) taking that lamp. He also claimed to<\/p>\n
have seen revision petitioner digging out an idol and lamp from the property<\/p>\n
behind the house of revision petitioner on 26.1.1989 at about 7 p.m. PW16, the<\/p>\n
Circle Inspector, Payyannur arrested revision petitioner and A2 on 23.1.1989 and<\/p>\n
recorded their statement. Allegedly on the information given by the revision<\/p>\n
petitioner and A2, recoveries as per Exts.P4 to P7 were made.<\/p>\n
               5.    The only item of evidence pertaining to the revision petitioner<\/p>\n
is the alleged discovery of lamps as per Exts.P5 and P6. Going by Ext.P6,<\/p>\n
revision petitioner had told PW16 that he had kept the lamp in the unused well.<\/p>\n
Ext.P6 (a) is the relevant portion of the statement of revision petitioner. Ext.P5<\/p>\n
(a) is the relevant portion of the statement of revision petitioner which led to the<\/p>\n
discovery as per Ext.P5. In Ext.P5(a), there is no mention of authorship of<\/p>\n
concealment.\n<\/p>\n
               6.    MO2 series are three lamps. Exts.P5 and P6 refer only two<\/p>\n
lamps. One lamp in MO2 series was not discovered at the instance of revision<\/p>\n
petitioner. PW1 did not identify any of the material objects. PW2 stated that the<\/p>\n
stolen lamps (which include the one not discovered at the instance of revision<\/p>\n
petitioner) are the lamps stolen from the temple but PW6 was not made to<\/p>\n
identify any of those materials. PW10 also did not identify the lamp discovered<\/p>\n
on the information given by the revision petitioners as per Ext.P6(a). It is seen<\/p>\n
from evidence that PW10 only stated that said lamp is seen in court. He was not<\/p>\n
made to identify which of the lamp among MO2 series is the lamp covered by<\/p>\n
Ext.P6(a). The difficulty is that going by Ext.P7, one lamp was discovered on the<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.No.628\/2001<\/p>\n
                                            4<\/span><\/p>\n
information allegedly given by the second accused. MO1 series do not contain<\/p>\n
any lamp. In short, apart from the two lamps discovered as per Exts.P5 and P6,<\/p>\n
one lamp also is included in MO2 series and witnesses were not made to<\/p>\n
properly identify which of the two lamps among those three lamps are covered<\/p>\n
by Exts.P5 and P6.          The discovery of one lamp as per Ext.P5 is of no use<\/p>\n
since Ext.P5(a) does not contain any authorship of concealment. In the light of<\/p>\n
that, it is difficult to apply Ext.P6(a) against revision petitioner to say that he was<\/p>\n
in possession of the stolen lamp. If that be so, his conviction and sentence<\/p>\n
cannot be sustained.\n<\/p>\n
                 Resultantly, Revision Petition is allowed. Conviction and sentence<\/p>\n
imposed on revision petitioner are set aside and he is acquitted of the charges<\/p>\n
made against him giving him the benefit of doubt. Bail bond is cancelled.<\/p>\n
        Crl.M.P.No. 3032 of 2001 shall stand dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
