I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>V  jgand also the High Court Government Picador. The points that<\/p>\n<p>arise for my consideration are: K<\/p>\n<p>4 CILRP 219031306<\/p>\n<p>i. Whether the judgment and order of<\/p>\n<p>conviction of the petitioners for the o\ufb01ence<br \/>\nSections 419 and 468 IPC and the se1;ite1&#8217;1oe.&#8217;__j:<br \/>\nthereon as confirmed in the appeal is  L&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>perverse?\n<\/p>\n<p> What order?\n<\/p>\n<p>4. It is the contention   the<br \/>\npetitioners that the &#8216;rfr;.a;  the joint<br \/>\nstatement of the accused&#8217;   tlacie illegal<br \/>\nand therefore,  is vitiated by<br \/>\nrecording  submits that it is a \ufb01t<br \/>\nmatter  the sentence has to be set<\/p>\n<p>aside remitizittg the  the Trial Court. Per comm, the<\/p>\n<p> V. High,  Gotrereteent Pleader supports the judgment and<\/p>\n<p>   zrts below.\n<\/p>\n<p>.&#8217; . H   be seen from the statements recorded by the<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;.V1eam\u00e9e, Magistrate on 30.4.2094 and 5.3.2005, the learned<\/p>\n<p>  has recorded the answers to the eame questions for<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;  accused. So far as the p-zocedmre regarding recording of<\/p>\n<p>&#8221;  statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. 21$ concerned, the said<\/p>\n<p>grmrision is incorporated for giving an opportunity to the<\/p>\n<p>accused to pemonally explain the incriminating circumstances<\/p>\n<p>5 CILRP 219012006<br \/>\nappearing in the evidence against each of the accused. But the<\/p>\n<p>fact that the Trial Court has \ufb02amed the joint questions itself<\/p>\n<p>leads to an inference that the incriminating ckcunietances<\/p>\n<p>against each of the accused having not been put <\/p>\n<p>by Way of separate statement and separate   <\/p>\n<p>aspect of the matter, the learnedjit  <\/p>\n<p>decision ofthis Court reported_in ILR&#8221;1A\u00a3&#8217;\u00a593  = g&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Vs.

The provision shouid not be<br \/>\nreduced ta 3. drab formality but shouid be<br \/>\nunderstood in its axle and real spirit as any<\/p>\n<p>B4<\/p>\n<p>6 CILR? 2l9\u20acli&#8217;2006<br \/>\nanswer given by the accused has serious<\/p>\n<p>consequence of its own either in the same trial or<\/p>\n<p>in any other trial for any other o\ufb01ence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>6. So taking into considera\ufb01on the <\/p>\n<p>by this Court in the Division Bench decision    <\/p>\n<p>and also the provisions of 4,&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>opinion that the recording of em join{ or<br \/>\nby the Triai Court by   the<br \/>\naccused is in oonuaven\ufb01iexg  ef Section 313<\/p>\n<p>Cr.P.C. in that View of tire &#8216; &#8216;tii.ev&#8217; eor1vietion of the<br \/>\npetd1:ioner$&#8221;&#8216;remA:&#8217;:i:theV&#8217;::fErJe1sis.,&amp;V&#8217;ef si1ch'&#8221;:statement is iiiegal and<\/p>\n<p>therefore;  {\ufb01e 13011;&#8217; proper to consider the other<\/p>\n<p>evidence  Vfhe A;)roe&#8217;ecution as the same has to be<\/p>\n<p> u  by   a\ufb01er recoxtiing the statement of<\/p>\n<p> .3361&#8243; Section 313 Cr.P.C. in the light of the<\/p>\n<p>observatiorxe above.
