10. Sri. Ishwar Choudapur, Advocate submitted the
\nfollowing reasons to justify the acquittal of A– <\/p>\n
and A–21:\n<\/p>\n
1) The FIR anegauohs Z\ufb01lisc-less:  a;*$hve’t-his J<\/p>\n
accused were wielding cluhls-t thejflconie ifannirig

\u00bb  V _xappear”s”to._.brev preposterous.<\/p>\n
V  ele\ufb01idence of PW.2 in the cross–examination
\n. A  that when the deceased was running,
\n A13, A14, A~\u00bbl6, A-1′? and A–21 caught hold
\n deceased, he was grappled and made to fall<\/p>\n
down. Thereafter A–13 and A44 assaulted the
\ndeceased with axe. The evidence of PW.3 with<\/p>\n
regard to manner of assault is totally inconsistent<\/p>\n
1.4<\/p>\n
11. In the light of the evidence and submissions made
\nat the bar, the \ufb01nding of the trial court that A-1′? Wasone of<\/p>\n
the participants in the first phase of assault “A-1,<\/p>\n
A–l3, A\u00bb~l4, A–15, A~l6 and A~21 appears’1V:””toV’1o;e that <\/p>\n

basis of the version of eyewitnesses that A\u00bb1, A~1E5}’-TR-\u00ab.l’6,A’and<\/p>\n
