\n                endorsement of such disqualification
\n                of his driving licence.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Prosecution     case   is  that  the  accused  drove  KBR  2849<\/p>\n
(Kadampuzha Amma) bus through Thrissur-Shornur road in a<\/p>\n
rash and negligent manner so as to endanger the personal<\/p>\n
safety of others on 20-10-1995 and caused the bus to hit<\/p>\n
against a cyclist Appu alias Chandrasekharan who was riding<\/p>\n
the bicycle through the western portion of road at 6.15<\/p>\n
p.m. and that the bus run over the victim causing his<\/p>\n
death.       The place of occurrence is Thirur Desom.       The<\/p>\n
accused drove the bus in a rash and negligent manner and<\/p>\n
also in over speed with the knowledge that his act may<\/p>\n
cause death of others.      In 313 statement accused denied the<\/p>\n
allegations.      His defence case was that he was not the<\/p>\n
driver of the bus.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
             2. PW1 deposed before the court that himself and<\/p>\n
the deceased Appu were co-workers and friends, that they<\/p>\n
are carpenters, that on the date of occurrence they were<\/p>\n
returning home after their work, that the deceased Appu was<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.491\/2000               3<\/span><\/p>\n
riding the bicycle towards north keeping left side of the<\/p>\n
road through Shoranur-Thrissur public road, that he was<\/p>\n
also riding in another bicycle behind Appu, that the<\/p>\n
incident occurred in between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. at a place<\/p>\n
called Thirur, that a bus came from the opposite direction<\/p>\n
hit against the cyclist Appu and the bus run over the<\/p>\n
victim causing his death, that the bus was driven in over<\/p>\n
speed.       But, he was declared hostile as he failed to<\/p>\n
identify the driver of the bus as accused.      According to<\/p>\n
him,     driver  ran  away.   PW10,  an  occurrence  witness,<\/p>\n
identified the number of the offending bus as KBR 2489<\/p>\n
`Kadampuzha Amma’.    But, he was also declared hostile as he<\/p>\n
also failed to identify the accused.   PW3 was the conductor<\/p>\n
of the bus at the time of the incident.    He deposed before<\/p>\n
the court that the accused was the driver of the bus at the<\/p>\n
time of the incident, that the accident happened at about<\/p>\n
6.30 p.m., that the bus was coming towards Thrissur, that<\/p>\n
he had not seen the actual hitting of the bus on the<\/p>\n
victim, that he does not know the reason for the accident,<\/p>\n
that he produced Ext.P3 trip sheet book before the police,<\/p>\n
that Ext.P3(a() is the trip sheet of the relevant date,<\/p>\n
wherein the name of the accused is entered as the driver of<\/p>\n
the bus and that he put his signature in the trip sheet as<\/p>\n
the conductor.      Even though PW3 was declared hostile, he<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.491\/2000                 4<\/span><\/p>\n
proved and identified the accused as the driver of the bus<\/p>\n
which was involved in the accident.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
             3. PW6   Doctor conducted post-mortem examination<\/p>\n
on the body of deceased Appu and issued Ext.P7 post-mortem<\/p>\n
certificate.      PW6 opined that the death was due to the head<\/p>\n
injury.       PW7, the then Motor Vehicle Inspector, Thrissur<\/p>\n
inspected the bus involved in the incident and issued<\/p>\n
Ext.P8 report.       He deposed that the vehicle was having no<\/p>\n
mechanical defect and that the brake was efficient.         PW9<\/p>\n
Village Assistant, then attached to Killannur Village,<\/p>\n
inspected the scene of occurrence and prepared the scene<\/p>\n
plan, Ext.P10.      PW11, then Sub Inspector attached to Viyyur<\/p>\n
Police Station, registered the crime on the basis of Ext.P1<\/p>\n
F.I. Statement furnished by PW1.          The F.I.R. has been<\/p>\n
marked as Ext.P12 through him.          PW12 Circle Inspector<\/p>\n
conducted the investigation in this case.          He prepared<\/p>\n
Ext.P6 inquest report regarding the dead body of the<\/p>\n
deceased      on   21.10.1995  at   Thrissur  Medical   College<\/p>\n
Hospital.       PW5 identified the dead body of the victim and<\/p>\n
he is a witness to Ext.P6 inquest report.          PW12 Circle<\/p>\n
Inspector inspected the scene of occurrence and prepared<\/p>\n
Ext.P9 scene mahazar on 21.10.1995, the next day of the<\/p>\n
incident.       PW8 is an attestor to Ext.P9 scene mahazar.<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.491\/2000               5<\/span><\/p>\n
M.O.2 series are the glass pieces taken from the scene of<\/p>\n
occurrence under Ext.P9 scene mahazar. M.O.I is the blood<\/p>\n
stained cloth worn by the victim.            In view of the<\/p>\n
deposition of PW3 and Ext.P3 trip sheet maintained in the<\/p>\n
offending bus, it cannot be contended that accused was not<\/p>\n
the driver of the bus involved in the incident.      PW1 and<\/p>\n
PW10 very clearly deposed before the court that the victim<\/p>\n
was riding the cycle through the western side of the<\/p>\n
Shoranur-Thrissur road and that the victim had not come<\/p>\n
from the side road as suggested by the defence.     The scene<\/p>\n
mahazar (Ext.P9) shows that the tarred road is having a<\/p>\n
width of 7.85 metres at the place of occurrence and that<\/p>\n
the    place    of occurrence  is  somewhat on   the  western<\/p>\n
extremity of the tarred road.    As per the scene mahazar the<\/p>\n
place of occurrence is 62 cms. east from the western<\/p>\n
extremity of the tarred road.      Thus from the evidence of<\/p>\n
PW1, PW2 and PW10 and Ext.P9 scene mahazar it is very clear<\/p>\n
that the road is having sufficient width at the scene of<\/p>\n
occurrence and that the victim was riding through the<\/p>\n
western extremity of the road keeping the left side of the<\/p>\n
road.     In these circumstances, it is very evident that the<\/p>\n
accident occurred due to the rashness and negligence of the<\/p>\n
accused driver. The appellate court found as follows:<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.491\/2000                6<\/span><\/p>\n
             “In every accident case it is of crucial
\n             importance that the court must try to
\n             ascertain the lie of the scene of the
\n             occurrence.  We get a clear idea about
\n             the  scene   of  occurrence   from   the
\n             evidence  tendered  by  the  prosecution
\n             witnesses as also the data perceived by
\n             the investigating officer at the scene
\n             of the occurrence described in Ext.P9
\n             scene mahazar.  The road at the place of
\n             occurrence  is  broad  and  the   tarred
\n             portion of the road has a width of 7.85
\n             metres.  The road margins are there on
\n             either side of the road and the western
\n             road margin a width of 7.60 metres.  The
\n             eastern road margin has a width of 3.20
\n             metres.  Ext.P10 sketch of the scene of
\n             occurrence is also available to help the
\n             court to draw a clear impression.    The
\n             spot of occurrence is located at a spot
\n             62 cms to the east of the western kerb.
\n             At the scene of occurrence, the Poomala
\n             road comes from the east and joins the
\n             main road.    Broken glass pieces were
\n             available at the scene to identify the
\n             spot of occurrence.   PWs 1,2,3 and 10
\n             have been declared hostile, but their
\n             evidence,  though  hostile  gives  us  a
\n             clear picture of the manner in which the
\n             accident  had  taken  place.    The  bus
\n             driven by the appellant\/accused had cut
\n             across entirely to its wrong side of the
\n             road and the impact had taken place at a
\n             spot close to the western kerb of the
\n             tarred road.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
After considering the evidence appellate court also found<\/p>\n
that accident occurred while accused was driving the vehicle<\/p>\n
rashly and negligently and it occurred at the wrong side of<\/p>\n
the accused.     I see no ground to interfere in the concurrent<\/p>\n
findings of the courts below in revisional jurisdiction.<\/p>\n
Crl.R.P.491\/2000                 7<\/span><\/p>\n
Findings are not perverse but based on proper analysis of<\/p>\n
evidence.       With regard to sentence, appellant curt has<\/p>\n
already taken a lenient view.         According to the public<\/p>\n
prosecutor also for rash and negligent driving, no lenient<\/p>\n
view can be taken.        However, I reduce the punishment of<\/p>\n
simple imprisonment of six months to three months for the<\/p>\n
offence punishable under Section 304-A.        Fine amount or<\/p>\n
default sentence is not interfered with.        I confirm the<\/p>\n
conviction and sentence under Section 279 IPC.       Therefore,<\/p>\n
conviction under Sections 279 IPC and 304-A I.P.C. are<\/p>\n
confirmed.      Sentence imposed under Section 279 IPC is also<\/p>\n
confirmed.      Imprisonment awarded under Section 304-A alone<\/p>\n
is reduced from six months to three months.       Fine imposed<\/p>\n
under Section 304A I.P.C. is not interfered with.     All other<\/p>\n
sentences       are  confirmed.     Substantive   sentence   of<\/p>\n
imprisonment      need  be  suffered concurrently.     Impugned<\/p>\n
judgment     is   modified to  the  above  limited  extent  and<\/p>\n
revision petition is disposed of accordingly.<\/p>\n
