If the case of the prosecution is unfolded, the relevant facts are as<\/p>\n<p>      under:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>                     It is the case of the prosecution that the whole incident had taken<\/p>\n<p>               place on 3rd December, 1993 at 4.00 p.m. when Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3) and<\/p>\n<p>               the deceased- Budhni Devi were returning from Village-Haldia at footpath<\/p>\n<p>               of Village Heperburu and at that time, the appellant-accused came<\/p>\n<p>               suddenly with a stick and caused injury to the deceased- Budhni Devi.<\/p>\n<p>               When the informant- Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3) tried to save the life of the<\/p>\n<p>               deceased, she was again caused injury by stick and thereafter Tilotma Devi<\/p>\n<p>               (P.W. 3) ran away and while running away, she saw that the appellant was<\/p>\n<p>               causing injuries by stone to Budhni Devi on her head, who had fallen down.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>               There was profuse bleeding also. The informant (P.W. 3) was also given a<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                    2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      stick blow by the appellant-accused. Having received bleeding injury, the<\/p>\n<p>      informant ran to the house of one Nilambar Purty (P.W. 4). The informant<\/p>\n<p>      was also shouting for rescue of the deceased, but, nobody came at the scene<\/p>\n<p>      of offence to save her. Thereafter, Nilambar Purty (P.W. 4) immediately<\/p>\n<p>      came at the scene of offence along with P.W. 11 and P.W. 12. Thereafter,<\/p>\n<p>      police was called. Meanwhile, for the whole night all remained present near<\/p>\n<p>      the dead-body. The appellant-accused, who was apprehended by the<\/p>\n<p>      villagers, was also compelled to stay there and the First Information report<\/p>\n<p>      was lodged on 4th December, 1993 at 6.00 a.m. at Village Heperburu, Police<\/p>\n<p>      Station-Majhgaon, District Singhbhum West. Investigation was carried out,<\/p>\n<p>      wherein,    statements of the witnesses were recorded, evidences were<\/p>\n<p>      collected and ultimately, charge-sheet was filed against the appellant-<\/p>\n<p>      accused and thereafter the case was committed to the Court of Sessions,<\/p>\n<p>      where it was numbered as Sessions Trial No. 90 of 1994 and the trial court<\/p>\n<p>      after appreciating the evidences of the prosecution witnesses, passed the<\/p>\n<p>      impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence dated 27th May,<\/p>\n<p>      2000 against the present appellant-accused for the offence under Section 302<\/p>\n<p>      of the Indian Penal Code for causing murder of Budhni Devi.<\/p>\n<p>             Against the impugned judgment and order of conviction and<\/p>\n<p>      sentence, the present appeal has been preferred by the appellant-accused.<\/p>\n<p>3.           We have heard learned counsel for the appellant, who has submitted<\/p>\n<p>that no motive has been established by the prosecution as there was no animosity<\/p>\n<p>between the deceased and the appellant-accused. In fact, the appellant-accused is<\/p>\n<p>handicapped. There is no eye witness except P.W. 3 and the depositions of the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution witnesses are full of omissions, contradictions and improvements.<\/p>\n<p>This aspect of the matter has not been properly appreciated by the trial court and<\/p>\n<p>hence the impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence deserve to be<\/p>\n<p>quashed and set aside. It is also submitted by the learned counsel for the appellant<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that the Investigating Officer has not been examined in this case, which is also fatal<\/p>\n<p>to the case of the prosecution.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.            We have heard learned A.P.P., appearing on behalf of the State, who<\/p>\n<p>has submitted that the whole case of the prosecution is based upon the deposition<\/p>\n<p>of the injured eye witness i.e. Tilotma Devi-P.W. 3 (the informant). The appellant-<\/p>\n<p>accused is named in the First Information Report. P.W. 3 has seen the whole<\/p>\n<p>offence, committed by the appellant-accused. When P.W. 3 and the deceased were<\/p>\n<p>returning from Village Haldia at a footpath of Village Heperburu, assault was<\/p>\n<p>committed by the appellant-accused on the deceased as well as on the informant.<\/p>\n<p>The informant has also sustained head injury and there was bleeding also. Initially,<\/p>\n<p>the deceased was given a stick blow, as a result of which, she fell down and the<\/p>\n<p>appellant-accused thereafter caused injuries on her head by means of stone. There<\/p>\n<p>was profuse bleeding at the scene of offence and the stick and stone both were<\/p>\n<p>having blood stains and were lying near the dead-body. The injured eye witness<\/p>\n<p>(P.W. 3) shouted for rescue but no-body came at the scene of offence. Thereafter,<\/p>\n<p>she ran towards the village at the house of one Nilambar Purty (P.W. 4) who came<\/p>\n<p>at the scene of offence with his servants (P.W. 11 and P.W. 12) who are also the<\/p>\n<p>villagers. Looking to the deposition of all these prosecution witnesses, it appears<\/p>\n<p>that they have supported the deposition of P.W. 3. Thus, the case of the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution is based upon the deposition given by the injured eye witness (P.W. 3),<\/p>\n<p>supported by the depositions of P.W. 4, P.W. 10, P.W. 11 and P.W. 12, who are the<\/p>\n<p>villagers, who had rushed immediately at the scene of offence. There is also<\/p>\n<p>enough corroboration to the depositions by the medial evidence of Dr. Sheo<\/p>\n<p>Shankar Birua (P.W. 13), who has carried out the post mortem examination upon<\/p>\n<p>the dead body of the deceased. As per the medical evidence, cause of death of the<\/p>\n<p>deceased is head injury and the injury is capable of being caused by stone. It is also<\/p>\n<p>submitted by the A.P.P. that when the whole case is based upon the deposition<\/p>\n<p>given by the eye witness, which is getting enough corroboration by the depositions<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>given by other witnesses as well as by the medical evidence, even if the motive is<\/p>\n<p>unable to be established by the prosecution, it is not fatal to the case of the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution. Motive was within the knowledge of the accused. The informant<\/p>\n<p>(P.W. 3) has no animosity with the appellant-accused, though this witness is also<\/p>\n<p>the villager of Village-Heperburu. In these circumstances, even if motive is not<\/p>\n<p>proved by the prosecution, it is established beyond all reasonable doubt by the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution that the appellant-accused has committed murder of the deceased-<\/p>\n<p>Budhni Devi and, thus, no error has been committed by the trial court in<\/p>\n<p>appreciating the evidences of the prosecution witnesses on record and, therefore,<\/p>\n<p>this Court may not interfere with the impugned judgment and order of conviction<\/p>\n<p>and sentence, by exercising the appellate powers.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.            Having heard learned counsel for both the sides and looking to the<\/p>\n<p>evidences on record, it appears that:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>      (i)    The whole incident had taken place on 3rd December,1993 at about 4.00<\/p>\n<p>             p.m. when the informant-Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3) and the deceased-<\/p>\n<p>             Budhni Devi were returning from Village-Haldia at footpath of Village<\/p>\n<p>             Heperburu. At that time, the appellant-accused came suddenly with a<\/p>\n<p>             stick and caused injuries to the deceased- Budhni Devi as well as to<\/p>\n<p>             the informant- Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3), as a result of which, Budhni<\/p>\n<p>             Devi fell down and Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3), though got bleeding injury,<\/p>\n<p>             ran away and while running away, she saw that it is the present<\/p>\n<p>             appellant-accused, who has caused injuries to the deceased by stone on<\/p>\n<p>             her head. There was profuse bleeding at the scene of offence. Stick and<\/p>\n<p>             stone both were having blood stains, lying near the body of the<\/p>\n<p>             deceased.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>      (ii)   Looking to the deposition of P.W. 3-Tilotma Devi, who is the eye<\/p>\n<p>             witness to the occurrence, it appears that she has narrated, in her<\/p>\n<p>             deposition, how the whole incident has taken place. Thereafter, she<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                              5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    had run to the house of Nilambar Purty (P.W. 4) and immediately P.W.<\/p>\n<p>    4 along with P.W. 11 and P.W. 12 (both servants of P.W. 4) rushed at<\/p>\n<p>    the scene of offence. Looking to the cross-examination of this witness,<\/p>\n<p>    nothing is coming out in favour of the appellant-accused. The<\/p>\n<p>    informant (P.W. 3) has stated that the police came on 4th December,<\/p>\n<p>    1993 in the early morning at 6.00 a.m. and the First Information Report<\/p>\n<p>    was lodged by her on the same date and time at Village Heperburu,<\/p>\n<p>    Police Station-Majhgaon, District Singhbhum West. The appellant-<\/p>\n<p>    accused is named in the First Information Report. There is also<\/p>\n<p>    reference of stick and stone. She was also injured at the hands of the<\/p>\n<p>    appellant-accused. Thus, looking to her deposition, it is evident that<\/p>\n<p>    she is a reliable and trustworthy witness. Her injury certificate is Ext. 5,<\/p>\n<p>    proved by Shatrudhan Gope (P.W. 14).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(iii) Looking to the deposition of P.W. 4-Nilambar Purty, it appears that<\/p>\n<p>    this witness has stated clearly before the trial court that the informant-<\/p>\n<p>    Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3) came to his house in the injured condition and<\/p>\n<p>    told him (P.W. 4) that the appellant-accused (she was narrating the<\/p>\n<p>    accused as &#8220;Langra&#8221;), who is handicapped, has caused injuries to<\/p>\n<p>    Budhni Devi by means of stick and stone at a footpath of Village<\/p>\n<p>    Heperburu, and her dead-body is lying there. Soon thereafter, P.W. 4<\/p>\n<p>    along with P.W. 11 and P.W. 12 (both servants of P.W. 4) rushed at the<\/p>\n<p>    scene of offence and saw the dead-body of Budhni Devi. There was<\/p>\n<p>    bleeding also. Blood stained stick and stone were lying nearby the<\/p>\n<p>    dead-body. The appellant-accused was also there at the scene of<\/p>\n<p>    offence and thereafter the other prosecution witnesses, who are the<\/p>\n<p>    villagers, also came there. They also waited for police to come and they<\/p>\n<p>    watched the dead-body of Budhni Devi. They also watched the<\/p>\n<p>    appellant-accused and on 4th December, 1993 at 6.00 a.m. when the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     police came, the First Information Report was lodged which was<\/p>\n<p>     signed by P.W. 3, P.W. 7 and P.W. 9. Looking to the cross-examination<\/p>\n<p>     of P.W. 4, this witness is reliable and trustworthy. Neither there is any<\/p>\n<p>     exaggeration nor any omission or contradiction in his deposition.<\/p>\n<p>     Though he is not an eye witness, he has corroborated the deposition<\/p>\n<p>     given by P.W. 3 and the facts which have been narrated by P.W. 3.<\/p>\n<p>     Thus, there is enough corroboration to the deposition given by the eye<\/p>\n<p>     witness (P.W.3) and P.W. 4.\n<\/p>\n<p>(iv) Likewise, looking to the depositions of P.W. 5, P.W. 6, P.W. 7, P.W. 9,<\/p>\n<p>     P.W. 10, P.W. 11 and P.W. 12, it appears that all the witnesses are the<\/p>\n<p>     villagers who rushed at the scene of offence and saw the dead-body of<\/p>\n<p>     Budhni Devi in a bleeding condition. Stick and stone were also having<\/p>\n<p>     blood stains by which murder was committed by the appellant-<\/p>\n<p>     accused. All these witnesses are corroborating the deposition given by<\/p>\n<p>     P.W. 3. This aspect of the matter has also been properly appreciated by<\/p>\n<p>     the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>(v) Looking to the deposition given by P.W. 13 -Dr. Sheo Shankar Birua, it<\/p>\n<p>     appears that this witness has conducted autopsy of the dead body of<\/p>\n<p>     the deceased and has narrated the following injuries, found on the<\/p>\n<p>     person of the deceased- Budhni Devi, as under :-\n<\/p>\n<p>                &#8221;       Head was badly crushed and grey matters coming out<br \/>\n                    of multiple fracture wound of the scalp. Only anterior and<br \/>\n                    lower part of the face was left intact.\n<\/p>\n<p>                        On dissection of the dead-body, the whole structures of<br \/>\n                    chest were found intact. The whole structure of abdomen<br \/>\n                    was intact. Uterus was small. Urinary bladder was full.<br \/>\n                        In his opinion, the deceased has died due to head injury<br \/>\n                    caused by hard and blunt heavy substance like heavy<br \/>\n                    stone. Time elapsed since death was within 48 hours.&#8221;<br \/>\n              From the aforesaid injuries, it appears that the cause of death,<\/p>\n<p>     stated by the doctor, is the head injury, which can be caused by stone.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>       Thus, there is enough corroboration by the medical evidence to the<\/p>\n<p>       deposition given by P.W. 3, an injured eye witness.        Post Mortem<\/p>\n<p>       examination was carried out by this witness (P.W. 13) on 4th December,<\/p>\n<p>       1993 at about 3:30 p.m. (Ext. 4) and it is opined by this doctor that the<\/p>\n<p>       death of the deceased was caused within 48 hours. Thus, the time<\/p>\n<p>       referred to by the doctor is also tallying with the time of murder, stated<\/p>\n<p>       by the injured eye witness.\n<\/p>\n<p>(vi)   Looking to the deposition of the prosecution witnesses, especially<\/p>\n<p>       P.W. 3, P.W. 4, P.W. 10, P.W. 11 and P.W. 12, it is proved by the<\/p>\n<p>       prosecution beyond all reasonable doubts that it is the appellant-<\/p>\n<p>       accused who has initially caused injuries by stick upon Budhni Devi as<\/p>\n<p>       well as upon Tilotma Devi (P.W. 3) and thereafter P.W. 3 ran away and<\/p>\n<p>       the deceased-Budhni Devi had fallen down and the appellant-accused<\/p>\n<p>       caused head injury upon Budhni Devi by means of stone. The injuries<\/p>\n<p>       were so severe in nature that the deceased-Budhni Devi expired on the<\/p>\n<p>       spot. Much has been argued by the learned counsel for the appellant<\/p>\n<p>       about the omissions and contradictions in the depositions, given by<\/p>\n<p>       P.W. 5, P.W. 6 and P.W. 8. Looking to the cross-examination of these<\/p>\n<p>       witnesses, it appears that though there is some deviation in the<\/p>\n<p>       narrations as to how they were coming from one mela, namely,<\/p>\n<p>       Venilaga Mela and whether they were going by bicycle or coming by<\/p>\n<p>       cart and they saw the dead-body of the deceased at Village-<\/p>\n<p>       Heperburu, no omission or contradiction even slightly is there in the<\/p>\n<p>       depositions of all the prosecution witnesses to the effect that they all<\/p>\n<p>       saw the dead-body of the deceased at Village Heperburu, there was<\/p>\n<p>       profuse bleeding and the stick and stone were also having blood<\/p>\n<p>       stains. These witnesses are rustic villagers and they have given<\/p>\n<p>       depositions after approximately 72 months and, therefore, some<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                     8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>            deviation on their own part as to whether they were going on bicycle<\/p>\n<p>            or by cart, will not carry much material contradiction. So far the<\/p>\n<p>            deposition of injured eye witness (P.W. 3) is concerned, she has<\/p>\n<p>            narrated the whole incident, in detail, without omission or<\/p>\n<p>            contradiction. Further, the witnesses had rushed at the scene of offence<\/p>\n<p>            later on and amongst all, Nilambar Purty (P.W. 4) had rushed at the<\/p>\n<p>            scene of offence first along with P.W. 11 and P.W. 12. Looking to the<\/p>\n<p>            depositions of these witnesses, it is evident that no error has been<\/p>\n<p>            committed by the trial court in arriving at the conclusion that the<\/p>\n<p>            prosecution has proved its case beyond all reasonable doubt that the<\/p>\n<p>            appellant-accused has committed murder of the deceased. There is,<\/p>\n<p>            thus, no error committed by the trial court in evaluating the evidences<\/p>\n<p>            of the prosecution witnesses.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.            Learned counsel for the appellant has also argued out, in detail, that<\/p>\n<p>no motive is established by the prosecution. This contention is also not much<\/p>\n<p>useful to the appellant-accused, when the whole case of the prosecution is based<\/p>\n<p>upon the deposition of injured eye witness (P.W. 3), when the deposition of the<\/p>\n<p>injured eye witness is corroborated by the depositions given by P.W. 4, P.W.10 and<\/p>\n<p>P.W. 12 and when there is enough corroboration of the depositions by the medical<\/p>\n<p>evidence (P.W. 13).\n<\/p>\n<p>7.            In these situations, even if motive is not established by the<\/p>\n<p>prosecution, it is not fatal to the prosecution. Motive basically runs in the mind of<\/p>\n<p>the appellant-accused. If the accused discloses the motive, then it becomes clearer.<\/p>\n<p>8.            Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State has rightly relied<\/p>\n<p>upon the decisions of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in the cases of Bahal Singh Vs.<\/p>\n<p>State of Haryana {AIR 1976 S.C. 2032}, Dudh Nath Pandey Vs. State of U.P. (1981<\/p>\n<p>CRI. L.J. SC 618) and Jarnail Singh and another Vs. State of Haryana {1993 CRI.<\/p>\n<p>L.J. 1656 (SC)}.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                          9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     9.            In view of the aforesaid decisions, even if the motive could not be<\/p>\n<p>     established by the prosecution, but, if there is evidence given by the eye witness,<\/p>\n<p>     which is corroborated by the dispositions of other prosecution witnesses as well as<\/p>\n<p>     by the medical evidence, it is not fatal for the prosecution. To establish the motive<\/p>\n<p>     by the prosecution is not sine qua none, when the case of the prosecution is based<\/p>\n<p>     upon the deposition of the eye witness or the injured eye witness, supported or<\/p>\n<p>     corroborated by the depositions of other prosecution witnesses as well as by the<\/p>\n<p>     medical evidence. Motive is within the exclusive knowledge and domain of the<\/p>\n<p>     accused.\n<\/p>\n<p>     10.           Thus, in view of the aforesaid evidences on record, the prosecution<\/p>\n<p>     has established beyond all reasonable doubt that the appellant-accused has<\/p>\n<p>     committed murder of Budhni Devi. We, therefore, hold that there is no error in<\/p>\n<p>     the impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence dated 27th May,<\/p>\n<p>     2000, passed by the trial court, whereby, the appellant-accused has been convicted<\/p>\n<p>     and sentenced to undergo life imprisonment, as aforesaid.<\/p>\n<p>     11.           There is no substance in this appeal. Hence, the same is hereby<\/p>\n<p>     dismissed, and the impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence<\/p>\n<p>     dated 27th May, 2000, passed by the trial court in Sessions Trial No. 90 of 1994, is<\/p>\n<p>     hereby affirmed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                 (D.N.
