(Per
\n: HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE J.C.UPADHYAYA)<\/p>\n
The
\n\tchallenge in this appeal is to the judgment and order rendered  by
\n\tthe Additional Sessions Judge, 5th Fast Track Court,
\n\tNadiad on dated 1.4.2005 in Sessions Case No.92 of 2001. By virtue
\n\tof the impugned judgment and order rendered by the learned trial
\n\tJudge, the appellant who was original accused in the aforesaid
\n\tsessions case came to be convicted for the offence punishable under
\n\tSection 307<\/a> of the Indian Penal Code (‘IPC<\/a>‘, for short) and was
\n\tsentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for 10 years and fine of
\n\tRs.1000\/-, in default to undergo further imprisonment for 6 months.
\n\tBeing aggrieved and dissatisfied with the impugned judgment and
\n\torder, the original accused preferred this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
The
\n\tprosecution case in nutshell is as under:-\n<\/p>\n
\t\tThe
\n\t\tincident occurred at about 2 a.m. during night hours on dated
\n\t\t11.11.2000 in the field of injured Girishbhai Harmanbhai situated
\n\t\tin the outskirts of village Garmala, Tal.Matar, Dist.Kheda. The
\n\t\tappellant-accused had mortgaged his land with  injured Girishbhai
\n\t\tand had borrowed money from Girishbhai. Subsequently, the accused
\n\t\thad repaid the money of Girishbhai. Still, however, the accused
\n\t\tused to demand Rs.100\/- from Girishbhai, to which Girishbhai
\n\t\trefused. Thereupon, at the time and place of the incident, the
\n\t\taccused inflicted blows of handle of diesel engine on the head of
\n\t\tGirishbhai. Girishbhai sustained serious bodily injuries and he was
\n\t\timmediately removed to the hospital. From the time he sustained
\n\t\tserious bodily injuries in his head, he became unconscious and he
\n\t\tregained consciousness after about 4 months. In connection with
\n\t\tthis offence, Vinubhai Harmanbhai, brother of injured Girishbhai
\n\t\tlodged First Information Report (‘FIR’, for short) in Matar Police
\n\t\tStation. The FIR was registered and the police investigation was
\n\t\tcommenced, statements of material witnesses were recorded by the
\n\t\tpolice, clothes of the accused and of injured Girishbhai were
\n\t\trecovered by drawing panchnamas, weapon used in this offence i.e.
\n\t\tmetal handle of diesel engine was recovered at the instance of the
\n\t\taccused by drawing discovery panchnama, necessary muddamal articles
\n\t\twere sent to FSL for analysis, medical certificates of the injured\n<\/p>\n
\t\t– Girishbhai were obtained. After completion of the police
\n\t\tinvestigation, chargesheet came to be filed in the Court of learned
\n\t\tJMFC, Matar, for the offence punishable under Section 307<\/a> of the
\n\t\tIPC. As the offence was exclusively triable by the Court of
\n\t\tSessions, learned Magistrate committed the case to the Court of
\n\t\tSessions at Nadiad.\n<\/p>\n
\t\tThe
\n\t\tlearned trial Judge framed charge against the accused at Exh.8 for
\n\t\tthe offence punishable under Section 307<\/a> of the IPC, to which the
\n\t\taccused did not plead guilty and claimed to be tried. Thereupon,
\n\t\tthe prosecution adduced its oral and documentary evidence. After
\n\t\tthe completion of the evidence, the learned trial Judge recorded
\n\t\tfurther statement of the accused under Section 313<\/a> of the Cr.P.C.
\n\t\tand the accused in his further statement denied generally all the
\n\t\tallegations levelled against him and stated that he was falsely
\n\t\timplicated in this case.\n<\/p>\n
\t\tAfter
\n\t\tappreciating the oral and documentary evidence adduced by the
\n\t\tprosecution and after considering the arguments advanced by both
\n\t\tthe sides, the learned trial Judge delivered the impugned judgment,
\n\t\twhereby he was pleased to convict the accused for the offence
\n\t\tpunishable under Section 307<\/a> of the IPC and awarded sentence as
\n\t\thereinabove described, hence the appeal.\n<\/p>\n
During
\n\tthe course of arguments, learned advocate Mr.Borad for the appellant
\n\t  accused submitted that the impugned judgment delivered by the
\n\tlearned trial Judge is contrary to law and evidence  on record. That
\n\tas a matter of fact, the prosecution failed to prove its case beyond
\n\tany reasonable doubt against accused. It is submitted that the
\n\tpolice recorded statement of injured- Girishbhai after about belated
\n\tdelay of 4 months. That the entire prosecution case rests upon the
\n\tdepositions of injured-Girishbhai, first informant Vinubhai and
\n\tDakshaben, who happens to be the wife of injured Girishbhai. That
\n\tthe evidence adduced by all these three witnesses is full of
\n\tcontradictions and improvements. That the prosecution alleged that
\n\tafter committing the offence, the accused went to the house of
\n\tinjured Girishbhai and told his wife Dakshaben that he had killed
\n\tGirishbhai. That such story advanced by the prosecution is quite
\n\tunnatural and cannot be relied upon. That even considering the
\n\tocular evidence adduced by the prosecution and the medical evidence
\n\ton record, there are material contradictions between the two sets of
\n\tevidence. It is submitted that the medical evidence reveals that the
\n\tinjuries on the head of Girishbhai could have been caused by some
\n\tsharp cutting instrument, whereas the prosecution has come forward
\n\twith the case that the accused inflicted handle of diesel engine on
\n\tthe head of Girishbhai, which is admittedly not sharp cutting
\n\tinstrument, but, hard and blunt object. Therefore, it is submitted
\n\tthat the appeal be allowed and the conviction recorded by the
\n\tlearned trial Judge be set-aside and the appellant   accused be
\n\tacquitted.\n<\/p>\n
Learned
\n\tAPP Mr.Bhatt vehemently opposed this appeal and submitted that
\n\tconsidering the deposition of injured witness Girishbhai, the
\n\tprosecution successfully proved its case. That the deposition of
\n\tGirishbhai gets support from the testimonies of first informant
\n\tVinubhai and Dakshaben. That the medical evidence reveals that the
\n\tinjury sustained by Girishbhai was so severe that from the time he
\n\tsustained injury, till four months throughout his medical treatment,
\n\the remained unconscious and as per the medical opinion, the injuries
\n\twere sufficient in ordinary course of nature to cause death. It is
\n\tsubmitted that miraculously and due to timely treatment, Girishbhai
\n\tcould be saved. Therefore, it is submitted that the appeal be
\n\tdismissed.\n<\/p>\n
We
\n\thave given our thoughtful considerations to the submissions made on
\n\tbehalf of both the sides. Considering the deposition of injured
\n\tGirishbhai, Exh.45, he narrated the incident in his deposition and
\n\tclearly stated that during night hours, when he was in his field,
\n\tthe accused came to his field and inflicted blows of handle of
\n\tdiesel engine on his head. Before the trial Court as well as at the
\n\ttime of arguments before this Court on behalf of the appellant
\n\taccused it is submitted that the incident took place during night
\n\thours and admittedly, no electric light was on, and therefore, the
\n\tprosecution failed to establish the identity of the accused.
\n\tHowever, in the impugned judgment, the learned trial Judge rightly
\n\tobserved that it was a moonlit night and the accused was not unknown
\n\tto Girishbhai, because not only there was money transaction between
\n\tthe two in past, but, even the accused was working in the field of
\n\tGirishbhai. Considering the deposition of injured Girishbhai, the
\n\treasonings assigned by the learned trial Judge in his judgment about
\n\tthe identity of the accused, gets ample support. Further,
\n\tconsidering the deposition of Girishbhai, there was verbal exchanges
\n\tbetween himself and the accused before Girishbhai sustained
\n\tinjuries.\n<\/p>\n
Furthermore,
\n\t\tconsidering the deposition of witness Dakshaben Girishbhai, Exh.31,
\n\t\tshe stated that on the night when the incident occurred, she was at
\n\t\ther home and was sleeping, but, she heard noise on the roof of her
\n\t\thouse and thereupon she was awakened and when she came out of her
\n\t\thouse, she saw that the accused had come there and the accused told
\n\t\ther that he had killed Girishbhai. Hearing the noise, even brother
\n\t\tof Girishbhai, Vinubhai had come to the house of Dakshaben and when
\n\t\tthe accused told Dakshaben that he had killed Girishbhai, at that
\n\t\ttime witness Vinubhai was also there. Considering the deposition of
\n\t\twitness Vinubhai Harmanbhai, Exh.39, he stated that he is brother
\n\t\tof injured Girishbhai and that on the night of the incident, when
\n\t\the heard noise on the roof of the house of Girishbhai, he went to
\n\t\tthe house of Girishbhai and Girishbhai’s wife Dakshaben was there
\n\t\tand at that time the accused came near the house and the accused
\n\t\ttold Dakshaben that he had killed Girishbhai. He stated that
\n\t\tthereupon he himself and one Pradeepbhai went to the field of
\n\t\tGirishbhai and they saw Girishbhai lying in his field, in injured
\n\t\tposition.\n<\/p>\n
Under
\n\tsuch circumstances, considering the depositions of injured
\n\tGirishbhai, his wife Dakshaben and his brother first informant
\n\tVinubhai, we are of the opinion that the prosecution successfully
\n\tproved the involvement of the accused in this offence. Learned
\n\tadvocate Mr.Borad submitted that in her cross-examination, witness
\n\tDakshaben stated that on the night of the incident, accused had
\n\tnever come to her house. We are of the opinion that the deposition
\n\tof a witness is to be considered as a whole. The cross-examination
\n\tof Dakshaben made on behalf of the accused runs into pages. It is
\n\ttrue that Dakshaben stated that on the night of the incident,
\n\taccused did not come in her house. However, the material aspect is
\n\tthat when Dakshaben heard some noise on the roof of her house, she
\n\tcame out from her house and therefore, she saw the accused. Thus,
\n\tthe accused met her outside her house and at that place the accused
\n\ttold her that he had killed Girishbhai and at that time the first
\n\tinformant Vinubhai was present.\n<\/p>\n
Considering
\n\tthe medical evidence on record and especially looking to the
\n\tdeposition of Dr.Chandana, Exh.51, and the injury certificate,
\n\tExh.52, it transpires that in all seven injuries were sustained by
\n\tGirishbhai on his head. The injuries were on temporal region and
\n\tleft parietal occipital region, causing brain injury and avulsion
\n\tinjury on left ear. Considering the depositions of Dr.Suhas Vasudev,
\n\tExh.41, Dr.Amin, Exh.46 and Dr.Dinesh Chandana, Exh.51 and the
\n\tcertificates issued by them, it clearly transpires that serious head
\n\tinjuries were sustained by Girishbhai, resulting into partial
\n\tparalysis and deafness in left ear. Under such circumstances,
\n\tconsidering the medical evidence on record, we are of the opinion
\n\tthat the learned trial Judge rightly observed that the prosecution
\n\tsuccessfully proved the offence punishable under Section 307<\/a> of the
\n\tIPC.\n<\/p>\n
Considering
\n\tthe FSL report and especially the serological report, Exh.65, it
\n\ttranspires that the blood group of injured Girishbhai is Group
\n\t B . The blood marks were found on the handle used as weapon by
\n\tthe accused, as well as on the pant of the accused, and the FSL
\n\treport revealed that the blood mark was  B  Group. Thus, the
\n\tcircumstantial evidence supports the ocular evidence adduced by the
\n\tprosecution.\n<\/p>\n
In
\n\tlight of the above discussions and considering the impugned judgment
\n\tdelivered by the learned trial Judge and re-appreciating the entire
\n\tevidence adduced by the prosecution before the trial Court, we are
\n\tof the opinion that the learned trial Judge did not err in coming to
\n\tthe conclusion that the prosecution proved its case beyond any
\n\treasonable doubt against the accused. Therefore, there is no reason
\n\twhatsoever for this Court to interfere with the impugned judgment
\n\tand order rendered by the learned trial Judge.\n<\/p>\n
\tFor
\n\tthe foregoing reasons, the appeal deserves to be dismissed. The
\n\tappeal therefore, stands dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
