They have a Soda shop at Manhar<br \/>\n\tPlot, Sheri No.7. It is the case of the complainant that on 08th<br \/>\n\tJuly 1987 at about 02:00 pm while the complainant was going to his<br \/>\n\tshop, original accused no.1, who was residing besides the shop of<br \/>\n\toriginal complainant, he threatened the original complainant and<br \/>\n\tasked him to withdraw the Chapter Case filed against him. The<br \/>\n\toriginal accused no.1 abused the present appellant. It is also the<br \/>\n\tcase of the complainant that at that time younger brother of the<br \/>\n\tcomplainant was reached there. The original accused no.2 gave iron<br \/>\n\tpipe blow to younger brother of the complainant. At that time,<br \/>\n\taccused no.1 gave two knife blows to younger brother of the<br \/>\n\tcomplainant. Thereafter, the complainant had taken his brother to<br \/>\n\tGovernment Hospital.  Since the younger brother of the complainant<br \/>\n\twas having bandages on his eyes and face and since he was not in a<br \/>\n\tposition to  identify the accused persons, the present complainant<br \/>\n\thad filed the present complaint.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thereafter<br \/>\n\tthe trial was conducted before the learned Magistrate. To prove the<br \/>\n\tcase of the prosecution, prosecution has produced oral as well as<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence. After considering the oral as well as<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence, the learned Magistrate has acquitted the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused from the charges alleged against them by the<br \/>\n\tjudgment and order dated 30th September 1995.\n<\/p>\n<p>Being<br \/>\n\taggrieved and dissatisfied with the said judgment and order dated<br \/>\n\t30th September 1995 passed by the learned Magistrate in<br \/>\n\tCriminal Case No.2999 of 1987, the appellant has preferred the above<br \/>\n\tmentioned Criminal Appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave heard Mr. M.G. Nanavati, learned Additional Public Prosecutor,<br \/>\n\tappearing on behalf of the appellant. I have also gone through the<br \/>\n\tpapers and the judgment and order passed by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Mr.\n<\/p>\n<p>\tM.G. Nanavati, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, has taken me<br \/>\n\tthrough the evidence of prosecution witnesses and the documentary<br \/>\n\tevidence and submitted that from the above evidence it is<br \/>\n\testablished that the prosecution has successfully proved its case<br \/>\n\tbeyond reasonable doubt. He has contended that the witnesses have<br \/>\n\tsupported the case of the prosecution and the learned Magistrate has<br \/>\n\tcommitted grave error in disbelieving and discarding the evidence of<br \/>\n\twitnesses. Mr. Nanavati has vehemently argued and tried to convince<br \/>\n\tthis Court that the learned Magistrate has committed error. He,<br \/>\n\ttherefore, contended that the judgment and order passed by the<br \/>\n\tlearned Magistrate is without appreciating the facts and evidence on<br \/>\n\trecord.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate for the respondents-accused has supported the judgment and<br \/>\n\torder of the Trial Court and contended that the prosecution has<br \/>\n\tfailed to establish prima-facie case against the accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave gone through the judgment of the Trial Court. I have also<br \/>\n\tperused the reasons assigned by the learned Magistrate.\n<\/p>\n<p>At<br \/>\n\tthe outset it is required to be noted that the principles which<br \/>\n\twould govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court<br \/>\n\tagainst an order of acquittal passed by the Trial Court have been<br \/>\n\tvery succinctly explained by the Apex Court in a catena of<br \/>\n\tdecisions. In the case of<br \/>\n\tM.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani Vs. State of Kerala &amp; Anr, reported<br \/>\n\tin (2006)6 SCC, 39,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has narrated about the powers of the High Court in<br \/>\n\tappeal against the order of acquittal. In para 54 of the decision,<br \/>\n\tthe Apex Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 54.<br \/>\n\tIn any event, the High Court entertained an appeal treating to be an<br \/>\n\tappeal against acquittal, it was in fact exercising the revisional<br \/>\n\tjurisdiction. Even while exercising an appellate power against a<br \/>\n\tjudgment of acquittal, the High Court should have borne in mind the<br \/>\n\twell-settled principles of law that where two  view are possible,<br \/>\n\tthe appellate  court should not interfere with the finding of<br \/>\n\tacquittal recorded by the court below.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tit is a settled principle that while exercising appellate power,<br \/>\n\teven if two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the<br \/>\n\tevidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the<br \/>\n\tfinding of acquittal recorded by the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Even<br \/>\n\tin a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of State<br \/>\n\tof Goa Vs. Sanjay Thakran &amp; Anr. Reported in (2007)3 SCC 75,<br \/>\n\tthe Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such cases.<br \/>\n\tIn para 16 of the said decision the Court has observed as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 16.\t\tFrom<br \/>\nthe aforesaid decisions, it is apparent that while exercising the<br \/>\npowers in appeal against the order of acquittal, the Court of appeal<br \/>\nwould not ordinarily interfere with the order of acquittal unless the<br \/>\napproach of the lower Court is vitiated by some manifest illegality<br \/>\nand the conclusion arrived at would not be arrived at by any<br \/>\nreasonable person and, therefore, the decision is to be characterized<br \/>\nas perverse. Merely because two views are possible, the Court of<br \/>\nappeal would not take the view which would upset the judgment<br \/>\ndelivered by the Court below. However, the appellate court has<br \/>\na power to review the evidence if it is of the view that the<br \/>\nconclusion arrived at by the Court below is perverse and the Court<br \/>\nhas committed a manifest error of law and ignored the material  on<br \/>\nrecord. A duty is cast upon the appellate court, in such<br \/>\ncircumstances, to re-appreciate the evidence to arrive to a just<br \/>\ndecision on the basis of material placed on record to find out<br \/>\nwhether any of the accused is connected with the commission of the<br \/>\ncrime he is charged with.\n<\/p>\n<p>Similar<br \/>\n\tprinciple has been laid down by the Apex Court in the cases of State<br \/>\n\tof Uttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh &amp; Ors, reported in 2007 AIR<br \/>\n\tSCW 5553 and<br \/>\n\tin Girja<br \/>\n\tPrasad (Dead) by LRs Vs. State of MP, reported in 2007 AIR SCW 5589.<br \/>\n\tThus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of<br \/>\n\tacquittal are well settled.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\n\tis also a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the<br \/>\n\tappellate court is not required to re-write the judgment or to give<br \/>\n\tfresh reasoning, when the reasons assigned by the Court below are<br \/>\n\tfound to be just and proper. Such principle is laid down by the Apex<br \/>\n\tCourt in the case of State<br \/>\n\tof Karnataka Vs. Hemareddy, reported in AIR 1981 SC 1417.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tin case the appellate court agrees with the reasons and the opinion<br \/>\n\tgiven by the lower court, then the discussion of evidence is not<br \/>\n\tnecessary.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\thave gone through<br \/>\n\tthe judgment and order passed by the Trial Court. I have also<br \/>\n\tperused the oral as well as documentary evidence led before the<br \/>\n\tTrial Court and also considered the submissions made by learned<br \/>\n\tadvocate for the appellant.\n<\/p>\n<p>After<br \/>\n\tappreciating the oral as well as documentary evidence, it is found<br \/>\n\tthat there was contradiction in the statements given by the<br \/>\n\twitnesses. The witnesses have not supported the case of the<br \/>\n\tcomplainant and were declared hostile. It is also observed that the<br \/>\n\tprosecution has failed to prove its case by medical evidence also.<br \/>\n\tThere was contradiction between the complainant, witnesses and<br \/>\n\tDoctor. It is also observed that complainant has failed to establish<br \/>\n\tmotive behind the incident in question. The Trial Court has also<br \/>\n\tobserved that there are serious lacuna in the oral as well as<br \/>\n\tdocumentary evidence of prosecution. Nothing is produced on record<br \/>\n\tof this appeal to rebut the concrete findings of the Trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thus,<br \/>\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charges against the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused in the present appeal. The prosecution has<br \/>\n\tmiserably failed to prove the case against the respondents-accused.<br \/>\n\tThus, from the evidence itself it is established that the<br \/>\n\tprosecution has not proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>Learned<br \/>\n\tcounsel for the appellant is not in a position to show any evidence<br \/>\n\tto take a contrary view in the matter or that the approach of the<br \/>\n\tTrial Court is vitiated by some manifest illegality or that the<br \/>\n\tdecision is perverse or that the trial court has ignored the<br \/>\n\tmaterial evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n<p>In<br \/>\n\tabove view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that the<br \/>\n\tTrial Court was completely justified in acquitting the<br \/>\n\trespondents-accused of the charges levelled against them. I find<br \/>\n\tthat the findings recorded by the Trial Court are absolutely just<br \/>\n\tand proper and in recording the said findings, no illegality or<br \/>\n\tinfirmity has been committed by it.\n<\/p>\n<p>I<br \/>\n\tam, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate<br \/>\n\tconclusion and the resultant order of acquittal recorded by the<br \/>\n\tcourt below and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same.<br \/>\n\tHence the appeal is hereby dismissed. Record<br \/>\n\tand Proceedings to be sent back to the Trial Court, forthwith.  Bail<br \/>\n\tbonds, if any, shall stands cancelled.\n<\/p>\n<p>(Z.\n<\/p>\n<p>K.
