i”wuAggrieved by the conviction and sentence, the<\/p>\n
{accused has approached the Sessions Court in<\/p>\n
Criminal Appeal No.55\/1999 and the said appeal came<\/p>\n
to be heard and dismissed on merits. Aggrieved by<\/p>\n
5 Crl.RP 487\/O5<\/p>\n
the concurrent findings of conviction and sentence,
\nthe petitioners have approached this Conrttain<\/p>\n
revision.\n<\/p>\n
3. I have heard the learned cpunsel for the<\/p>\n
petitioners as also the learnedKGovernmen\ufb01.pleader\ufb01*<\/p>\n
4. The point that arises for my consideration<\/p>\n
is;\n<\/p>\n
Whether the Jndgment and \ufb01rder of
\nconviction gof the “petitioners\/accused
\nfor th\u00e9f_io\ufb01;\u00e9n\u00a2ei*_pnnishabie under

\ntrial Court and confirmed in the appeal<\/p>\n
is illegal and perverse?\n<\/p>\n
“5. Vit is the contention of the learned counsel<\/p>\n
for the petitioners that both P.Ws.1 and 2 are the<\/p>\n
employees.. of P.W.4wRamakrishna, whereas the<\/p>\n
f’.,petitioners\/accused, are the employees of one<\/p>\n
‘”._Karegowda and there was enmity between both. these<\/p>\n
V*, employers and therefore, she contends that the<\/p>\n
V’*. “accused were falsely implicated in this crime. So<\/p>\n
also, it is her contention that except the evidence<\/p>\n
of P.Ws.l and 2, who are the interested witnesses,<\/p>\n
safe<\/p>\n
6 Crl.RP 487\/O5<\/p>\n
no material is placed on record by the prosecution<\/p>\n
though available to prove the guilt of the accused<\/p>\n
beyond reasonable doubt. Therefore, she’ sub\ufb01its_<\/p>\n
that the conviction and sentence ordered” by theul<\/p>\n
trial Court and confirmed hat the jlower* appellate<\/p>\n
Court is illegal and perverse.\n<\/p>\n
Per contra, the learned Govern\ufb01ent_Pleader has
\nsupported the Judgment_ anqatdrder” of the courts<\/p>\n
below. ,_ gwalV<\/p>\n
6. 1 have scrutinized the evidence led by the
\nparties, the documentszadmitted in the evidence and
\nthe statement of the accused recorded under Section<\/p>\n
313 Cr.P.C,_”ErWsEi and 2 are the persons, who were<\/p>\n
_ in the room at the time of the incident and it is in<\/p>\n
lg theg evidence, of P.W.l ands also in the complaint-<\/p>\n
Ex Pl that there were electric lights both inside<\/p>\n
V and. outside’ the roonu Further more, it is also<\/p>\n
‘”;c1ear from the evidence of P.W.l that though there<\/p>\n
‘”_was._light in the night at about 1.00 a.m., the<\/p>\n
vd”_accused gained entry and the 1″ accused asked P.W.l<\/p>\n
fto show as to where are the valuables and he took<\/p>\n
the metals box containing” an amount of Rs.l,OOO–OO<\/p>\n
and old earerings, whereas the 2″d accused snatched<\/p>\n
7 Cri.RP 487\/O5<\/p>\n
the earwrings of P.W.2 i.e., the wife of P.W.l and
\nwhile snatching the said earwrings, P.W.2 sustained<\/p>\n
tearing of her earwlobes and sustained Vgrieyous<\/p>\n
injury. The accusedo after the robbery; “left Tthe<\/p>\n
metal box {trunk} and took away the rameunt tofu’<\/p>\n
Rs.1,0GO~O0 in addition to the <\/p>\n
were kept in the metal box and also the egfcfingg sf;<\/p>\n
P.W.2 worth more than RsgdySOOwOQi”idCluding thei<\/p>\n

\nare concerned, P.Ws.l and 2 have named each of the<\/p>\n
accused. and ass the jincidentaftook1\u00abplace where the<\/p>\n
electric —- ~lidht Kwas *hurning\u00a2i the complainant P.W.l
\nand his wife ?;w}2 had ample opportunity to witness<\/p>\n
the accused” and rthe\u00a7= have identified the said<\/p>\n
_ accused “before. the VCourt as well. Even in the<\/p>\n
in Police Station, when the accused were arrested and<\/p>\n
brought} P wsyi and 2 have identified them and in<\/p>\n
V the circumstances, considering the evidence of these<\/p>\n
d”22′ witnesses, I do not think that there is any<\/p>\n
“_difficulty insofar as the identity of the accused<\/p>\n
“Huare concerned.\n<\/p>\n
7. The acts of the accused have been spoken by<\/p>\n
P.Ws.l and 2. Accused No.1 went inside, questioned<\/p>\n
8 Crl.RP 487\/O5<\/p>\n
P.W.l as to the valuables and thereafter, he took
\nthe metal box [trunk] and from it he took out the<\/p>\n
old earerinqs, the ‘clothes, whereas accused_kNo.2<\/p>\n
snatched the ear–rings of P.W.2 i.e., the uife of<\/p>\n
P.W.l by causing injury and tearing her ear lobesty\u00e9<\/p>\n
The overtwact of each of the yaccused_Whaue_ been<\/p>\n
stated by P.Ws.l and 2v_andi their ,evidence <isw<\/p>\n
consistent, cogent and acce\ufb01table.\n<\/p>\n
8. Further more} \u00a7.W,2u*was”aexamined by the<\/p>\n
doctor–P.W.6 and hey xhab ; issuedW’ the injury<\/p>\n
certificate at }\ufb01x.P3.\u00a7 it ireyealse that P.W.2 was<\/p>\n
examined. on *ll5Q\u00a7\u20ac19\u00a7En at– about 9.00 a.m. and he<\/p>\n
states ‘that both Nthe Vearerings were torn. The
\ndoctor is of the opinion that the injury sustained<\/p>\n
i”by \u00e9jw,;_ia grievous in nature and accordingly he<\/p>\n
v\ufb01has kdeposed\ufb01 before the court and speaks to the<\/p>\n
contests ‘efs3Ex.P3. So, the medical evidence<\/p>\n
kcorroborates the evidence of P.W.2 who is an injured<\/p>\n
{witness and it is welleestablished principle that an<\/p>\n
m injured generally does not implicate an innocent and<\/p>\n
‘kfdoes not leave a person who really has caused the<\/p>\n
harm. She has spoken to the overt–act of accused<\/p>\n
No.2 and the presence of accused No.1 and she has<\/p>\n
5<\/span><\/p>\n
9 Cri.RP 487\/05<\/p>\n
also identified both the accused before the Court as
\nwell in the Police Station. There was ample
\nopportunity for P.W.2 to see the accused7 and<\/p>\n
therefore, her evidence corroborates the version of<\/p>\n
P.W.l i.e-, her husband. and in the light fofn this 7\u00bb<\/p>\n
evidence led by the prosecution ‘is? sufficieht’ to<\/p>\n
prove the guilt of the accused;f_1<\/p>\n
9. P.W.5 is the employer_of P:Wsli and 2 and
\nhe states about the injuries sustained by P.W.2 and
\nhaving seen her after the in\u00a2iae\ufb01t;;fse is also an<\/p>\n
attesting witness for the spotwmahazar–Ex.P2 along<\/p>\n
with P{W.4 and the seisure–of the metal box {trunk}
\nM.0.1 and the toweirM;\u00a9C1{a). P.W.7 is the resident<\/p>\n
of the same village and he took the injured to the<\/p>\n
x”hospita;_and he is also an attesting witness with<\/p>\n
vFregard_”tolithev recovery of the ear–rings at the<\/p>\n
instance of the l”‘accused. The said ear–rings have<\/p>\n
ibeen. marked in the evidence as M.O.2 and. seizure<\/p>\n
Lmahazar has been produced at Ex.PS. It appears that<\/p>\n
— there is a mistake in numbering the material objects<\/p>\n
xpby the trial Court. Anyhow, the mistake committed<\/p>\n
by the trial Court does not come in the way of the<\/p>\n
prosecution as it is a minor discrepancy. P.W.9 is<\/p>\n
10 Crl.RP 487\/O5<\/p>\n
the Police Officer, who registered the complaint of
\nP.W.l and held the Investigation, which was
\ncompleted by P.W.8, who filed the charge sheet after<\/p>\n
collecting the injury certificate. SO,mdthesg Vis<\/p>\n
consistent material so far as the of\ufb01ence ‘under’<\/p>\n
Section 394 IPC is concerned. ”\n<\/p>\n
10. It is necessary to note that the accused<\/p>\n
caused injury to P.W.2 while snatching the ear\u00a5rings<\/p>\n
and that has been stated b\u00a7”doctor~P)W,6; who has
\nissued the injury certificate%E\u00a7\ufb02P3iz_Therefore, the<\/p>\n
accused have committ\u00e9i an offence punishable under<\/p>\n
Section 394 EEC \ufb02 which is an act of robbery and at
\nthat time grievous injury was caused to P.W.2. It<\/p>\n
is in. the mcontextilof” these circumstances, if the<\/p>\n
3″.,Qff\u00e9:n!E:e3y”..,1{{1I’1CiE!f Sec”t’i’oVn 392 IPC is considered, it is a<\/p>\n
‘tminorx offence}. whereas Section 394 IPC is major<\/p>\n
offence. ‘B when there is a punishment for major<\/p>\n
woffence and the ingredients of Section 392 ZPC do<\/p>\n
{merge with the offence under Section 394 IPC., the<\/p>\n
‘ conviction for the offence under Section 392 IPC is<\/p>\n
“a redundant. The ample material placed on record is<\/p>\n
sufficient to hold the accused guilty for the<\/p>\n
offence under Section 394 IPC. The mere existence<\/p>\n
11 Crl.RP 487\/05<\/p>\n
of some enmity between P.W.\u00a7 and the employer of the
\naccused does not take away the evidence led by the
\nprosecution, which has been supported by P.Wi2, who
\nis an injured witness. The material placed’ on
\nrecord is consistent, cogent, natural and there is,
\nno much delay in lodging the _complaint5 “ins thel
\ncircumstances, I am of the fopinion jtha\ufb01w the
\npetitioner has not made” out anyf such ogrounds top
\nwarrant the interference to the extent of the proof
\nof offence punishable under Section 394 lPC. The
\naccused. will have to _be_ acguittedf for the charge<\/p>\n
under soction.392gIPC,=n
\nlf, rso far as the sentence is concerned, the
\nlearned cbunsel for the petitioners submit that the<\/p>\n
accused 2are “aged vabout 40 years and 22 years<\/p>\n
7_ respecti\ufb01elyrv they are married persots and<\/p>\n
maintaining Stheir family. They are the only<\/p>\n
persons5″wno are looking after the members of their<\/p>\n
“knfamily and that it is their first offence and in the<\/p>\n
“u circumstances, she submits that these mitigating<\/p>\n
1<\/span><\/p>\n
“‘,circumstances may oe considered to reduce the<\/p>\n
lsentence. So, taking into consideration the<\/p>\n
submission made, I think it would be just and proper<\/p>\n
12 Crl.RP 487\/O5
\nto reduce the sentence to 2% years. Hence, I answer
\nthe point partly in affirmative and partly in<\/p>\n
negative and proceed to pass the following:
