The appellant-<\/p>\n<p>accused, by way of this jail appeal, has challenged the conviction<\/p>\n<p>recorded and sentence awarded by the learned Sessions Judge in<\/p>\n<p>the aforesaid Sessions Case.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">           The facts of the case, in succinct, are that on<\/p>\n<p>03.3.2003, at 8:14 AM, one Mahendra Singh (PW 14) lodged an<\/p>\n<p>FIR with the Police Station, Mathaniya, district Jodhpur, stating<\/p>\n<p>therein that in Gram Panchayat, Newara, about 25 to 30 years<br \/>\n                       D.B.

He was getting disablement pension from the<\/p>\n<p>State Government and also used to beg breads and other<\/p>\n<p>eatable items from the villagers. A night before lodging of the<\/p>\n<p>FIR, one unknown person caused death of Sumera Ram by<\/p>\n<p>causing injuries to him. Deceased Sumera Ram 60 years old and<\/p>\n<p>was dump.     On the aforesaid report, a criminal case under<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/1560742\/\" id=\"a_1\">Section 302<\/a> IPC was registered as FIR No.29 dated 10.3.2003<\/p>\n<p>and   the investigation     ensued.               During the course             of<\/p>\n<p>investigation, the investigating officer recorded the statements of<\/p>\n<p>witnesses, arrested the appellant-accused and in pursuance of<\/p>\n<p>the information furnished by the appellant under <a href=\"\/doc\/1312051\/\" id=\"a_2\">Section 27<\/a> of<\/p>\n<p>the Indian Evidence Act and at the instance of the appellant, a<\/p>\n<p>stone was    recovered; the post-mortem on the dead-body of<\/p>\n<p>Sumera Ram was conducted and after investigation, the police<\/p>\n<p>filed Challan in the Court of the learned Sessions Judge. The<\/p>\n<p>learned Sessions Judge, after trial, recorded the conviction of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant-accused under <a href=\"\/doc\/1560742\/\" id=\"a_3\">Section 302<\/a> IPC and awarded him the<\/p>\n<p>sentence as afore-stated.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">            We have heard learned counsel for the appellant-<\/p>\n<p>accused and the learned Public Prosecutor for the State.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">            The   counsel    for    the     appellant       urges      that    the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution story hinges on threee sets of evidence against the<\/p>\n<p>appellant: firstly, the evidence regarding last seen of the<\/p>\n<p>appellant with the deceased is led by the prosecution is that of<\/p>\n<p>Smt. Radha, who saw appellant with deceased Sumera Ram in<\/p>\n<p>the Guwadi near his residence in the night;                         secondly is<br \/>\n                         D.B.

Radha is<\/p>\n<p>concerned, she has only stated             that she had seen appellant-<\/p>\n<p>accused Bhanwar Singh in the night before the date of<\/p>\n<p>occurrence of the offence while he was running near the &#8220;Patwar<\/p>\n<p>Bhawan.&#8221;       Learned counsel for the appellant urged that PW 3<\/p>\n<p>Smt. Radha is not an eye witness of the occurrence of the<\/p>\n<p>offence and as per her statement, she had only seen the<\/p>\n<p>appellant-accused while he was running near the &#8220;Patwar<\/p>\n<p>Bhawan.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">              Regarding the second set of evidence, the main<\/p>\n<p>contention of the learned counsel for the appellant is that as per<\/p>\n<p>the cross-examination of PW 6 Chain Singh, he informed to the<\/p>\n<p>police regarding the extra-judicial confession made by the<\/p>\n<p>appellant before him one day after the date of making such<\/p>\n<p>confession.      He further contends that the conduct of this<\/p>\n<p>witness , viz. PW 6 Chain Singh, cannot be said to be normal in<\/p>\n<p>as much as that no such undue delay can be caused in normal<\/p>\n<p>course.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_6\">              Regarding the third set of evidence, the contention of<\/p>\n<p>the learned counsel for the appellant is that no good and<\/p>\n<p>sufficient motive has been established by the prosecution<\/p>\n<p>regarding commission of offence by the appellant and there is no<br \/>\n                         D.B. Criminal (Jail) Appeal No.1343\/2003<br \/>\n                       (Bhanwar Singh alias Bhanwariya Vs. State of Rajasthan)<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">                                       4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>evidence on record to establish this fact that the appellant has<\/p>\n<p>committed this offence to grab Rs.200\/- from the deceased.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_7\">               Per contra, the learned Public Prosecutor urged that<\/p>\n<p>the conviction recorded and the sentence awarded by the<\/p>\n<p>learned Sessions Judge is based on cogent reasons and is<\/p>\n<p>established on sound appreciation, scanning and evaluation of<\/p>\n<p>the evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_8\">               We have given our thoughtful consideration to the<\/p>\n<p>arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the parties and<\/p>\n<p>scanned, evaluated and analysed the evidence on record.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_9\">               PW 3 Smt. Radha, who is said to be an witness, who<\/p>\n<p>claims to have seen the appellant running near the &#8220;Patwar<\/p>\n<p>Bhawan&#8221;, does not connect the appellant with the crime alleged<\/p>\n<p>to have been committed by him.                She has stated only to this<\/p>\n<p>effect that she had seen the appellant in the cote (Gawadi),<\/p>\n<p>while he was running from alleged place of incident.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_10\">               So far as the statement of PW 6 Chain Singh is<\/p>\n<p>concerned, in his cross-examination, he has stated that after<\/p>\n<p>making the extra-judicial confession by the appellant before him,<\/p>\n<p>he kept mum for a day and on the second day, he informed to<\/p>\n<p>the police regarding the same.             This statement of PW 6 Chain<\/p>\n<p>Singh is wholly contrary to the natural human conduct because<\/p>\n<p>there was no reason for him to keep mum for a day for such a<\/p>\n<p>heinous offence and that too when the offence was committed in<\/p>\n<p>his village.    More so, generally the extra-judicial confession is<\/p>\n<p>made by an accused before a person, with whom he reposes<\/p>\n<p>utmost faith or expects some benefit by making such statement,<br \/>\n                       D.B.

The learned Sessions Judge,<\/p>\n<p>Jodhpur, while relying on the evidence of the aforesaid two<\/p>\n<p>witnesses, viz. PW 3 Smt. Radha and PW 6 Chain Singh, as also<\/p>\n<p>the evidence of the investigating officer regarding the recovery<\/p>\n<p>of money received through pension remaining with some other<\/p>\n<p>person in the village.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\">             Apart from this, the learned Sessions Judge has not<\/p>\n<p>appreciated cross-examination of PW 10 Dr. Raja Ram Sharma,<\/p>\n<p>wherein he stated that while conducting the autopsy on the<\/p>\n<p>corps of the deceased, he recorded the details of the injuries on<\/p>\n<p>the dead-body of the deceased on a separate paper and after<\/p>\n<p>preparation of the post-mortem report, he destroyed that paper.<\/p>\n<p>This part of the conduct of PW 10 Dr. Raja Ram Sharma is very<\/p>\n<p>important and on the basis of this evidence, the cause of death<\/p>\n<p>of the deceased due to injuries caused on the head by a stone,<\/p>\n<p>cannot be regarded as reliable as the entire post-mortem report<\/p>\n<p>becomes doubtful.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">             Resultantly, on the basis of the discussions made<\/p>\n<p>here-in-above, we are of the considered view that the conviction<\/p>\n<p>recorded and the sentence awarded by the learned Sessions<br \/>\n                        D.B.
