Ram Sarup vs State Of Punjab And Anr on 8 December, 2009<\/div>\n

                    This petition under Section 482 CrPC has been filed<\/p>\n
seeking quashing of the orders dated 9.9.2009 (P2) passed by the learned<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge (Ad hoc) Fast Track Court, Hoshiarpur and<\/p>\n
20.9.2005 (P1) passed by the learned JMIC Hoshiarpur, whereby the<\/p>\n
accused (respondent-2) has been discharged for the offence under Section<\/p>\n
379 IPC. A further prayer is made for framing charges against accused-<\/p>\n
respondent-2 after setting aside the orders – P1 and P2.<\/p>\n
            The petitioner lodged a complaint against respondent-2 for the<\/p>\n
offence under Section 379 IPC. It was alleged that the petitioner is running<\/p>\n
M\/s Punjab Feed Bhandar and M\/s Punjab Khad Store, Dabidda Ahrana and<\/p>\n
is a licensed dealer of insecticides and also a Commission Agent.<\/p>\n
Respondent-2 was an employee of M\/s Sibia Feed, Ludhiana. On 1.6.1998,<\/p>\n
respondent-2 was deputed by M\/s Sibia Feed, Ludhiana to collect its<\/p>\n
payment from the petitioner after returning the cheque. Respondent-2 came<\/p>\n
to the petitioner on 1.6.1998 and demanded payment pertaining to the
\n Cr Misc M- 34651 of 2009                                                  2<\/span><\/p>\n
company. The complainant-petitioner gave him a cheque amounting to Rs<\/p>\n
16150\/- and made a cash payment of Rs 1100\/- to him. The accused-<\/p>\n
responent-2 was sent back to the complainant-petitioner with the request to<\/p>\n
return the abovesaid cheque and bring cash from the petitioner.         The<\/p>\n
accused-respondent-2 came to the petitioner and mentioned the intention of<\/p>\n
his employer and handed-over the cheque and a Ruqa. The complainant-<\/p>\n
petitioner requested   accused-respondent-2 to come on 2.6.1998 and he<\/p>\n
would make the payment on that day as the cheque would be cleared from<\/p>\n
the Bank. The complainant-petitioner reached the shop at 10 a.m. on<\/p>\n
2.6.1998 where accused-respondent-2 was already present. The petitioner<\/p>\n
requested the accused to take the cheque and get it encashed from the Bank<\/p>\n
and take the payment but the accused insisted that the petitioner should<\/p>\n
accompany him to the Bank and get the cheque encashed himself. The<\/p>\n
complainant and respondent-2 came to State Bank of India, Court Road,<\/p>\n
Hoshiarpur, on the scooter of the complainant at about 12 Noon. The<\/p>\n
complainant-petitioner withdrew cash amounting to Rs 90,000\/- from the<\/p>\n
Bank account No.20646 in the presence of accused-respondent-2 and came<\/p>\n
out of the Bank. The complainant took out Rs 10,000\/- out of the total cash<\/p>\n
of Rs 90,000\/- and handed over the same to respondent-2 in the presence of<\/p>\n
one Vipin Kumar Jain. The remaining cash of Rs 80,000\/- was placed in the<\/p>\n
Dicky of the scooter in the presence of respondent-2 and Vipin Kumar Jain<\/p>\n
aforesaid. Respondent-2 then requested the petitioner to drop him at the<\/p>\n
Bus Stand, Hoshiarpur as he wanted to go to Ludhiana immediately. The<\/p>\n
petitioner agreed and leaving Vipin Kumar Jain there, the petitioner and<\/p>\n
respondent-2 went to Bus Stand. After dropping respondent-2 at the Bus<\/p>\n
Stand, the petitioner went to Prabhat Chowk. There the petitioner parked his<\/p>\n
scooter in front of the Varandah of the Punjab Agro Industries where
\n Cr Misc M- 34651 of 2009                                                    3<\/span><\/p>\n
Malkeet Singh and DP Singh were sitting in the Varandhah and were<\/p>\n
watching the petitioner. When the petitioner opened the Dicky which was<\/p>\n
not intact, rather was somewhat defective and he found the cash amounting<\/p>\n
to Rs 80,000\/- missing. The complainant-petitioner then went to Bus Stand<\/p>\n
to locate respondent-2. It is alleged that only respondent-2 had sat on the<\/p>\n
pillion of the scooter on the way to Bus Stand. The complainant-petitioner<\/p>\n
did not stop the scooter on the way. The respondent-2 was seen sitting on<\/p>\n
the pillion by Vipin Kumar Jain and was seen alighted from the scooter by<\/p>\n
Avtar Singh and Nirmal Singh. Thereafter, the complainant-petitioner went<\/p>\n
on contacting      accused-respondent-2 but he could not reach Ludhiana<\/p>\n
upto 7 p.m. on 2.6.1998. Thereafter, the complainant approached the Police<\/p>\n
but the Police did not register a case and on giving an affidavit, the Police<\/p>\n
lodged case FIR 105 dated 7.6.1998 at PS City Ludhiana for the offence<\/p>\n
under Section 379 IPC. The Police neither interrogated the accused nor<\/p>\n
recorded statement of any witness and the case was sent up as untraced by<\/p>\n
the Police.     Accordingly, the petitioner filed a complaint in which the<\/p>\n
impugned orders P1 and P2 have been passed.\n<\/p>\n
              The complainant in pre-charge evidence, examined 7 witnesses<\/p>\n
including himself as PW7. On the basis of the evidence and material on<\/p>\n
record, the learned JMIC vide order dated 20.9.2005 dismissed the<\/p>\n
complaint. Aggrieved against the same, the petitioner filed a revision<\/p>\n
petition which has been dismissed vide impugned order dated 9.9.2009<\/p>\n
(P2). Aggrieved against the said order, the present petition has been filed by<\/p>\n
the petitioner under Section 482 CrPC seeking quashing of the orders P1<\/p>\n
and P2.\n<\/p>\n
              Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the case<\/p>\n
against respondent-2 has been clearly established and he has been
\n Cr Misc M- 34651 of 2009                                                    4<\/span><\/p>\n
discharged only on the ground that the recovery of Rs 80,000\/- has not been<\/p>\n
effected from respondent-2. It is also contended that the facts and<\/p>\n
circumstances would show that except for respondent-2, nobody else could<\/p>\n
have committed the theft of the amount as it was taken while the petitioner<\/p>\n
was dropping respondent-2 to Bus Stand, Hoshiarpur.\n<\/p>\n
            After giving my thoughtful consideration to the contentions of<\/p>\n
the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the record, I find no<\/p>\n
merit in the same.\n<\/p>\n
            Both the Courts below have, after summoning respondent-2 and<\/p>\n
subjecting the complainant’s        witnesses to cross examination, has<\/p>\n
discharged accused-respondent-2. The learned JMIC Hoshiarpur in his order<\/p>\n
dated 20.9.2005 has held that the contention of the complainant that the<\/p>\n
amount of Rs 80,000\/- was stolen by accused-respondent-2 while sitting on<\/p>\n
his scooter has not been fully proved as it was incumbent upon            the<\/p>\n
complainant to prove that the amount of Rs 80,000\/- was taken from the<\/p>\n
possession of the complainant by the accused dishonestly and without his<\/p>\n
consent. It was observed that there was no direct evidence that the accused<\/p>\n
had stolen the amount. The learned Additional Sessions Judge (Ad hoc)<\/p>\n
Fast Track Court, in his order dated 9.9.2009 (P2) has observed that none of<\/p>\n
the witnesses has deposed that an amount of Rs 80,000\/- was stolen by the<\/p>\n
accused in their presence or that they ever witnessed the theft of the amount.<\/p>\n
The witnesses had simply deposed that an amount of Rs 90,000\/- was<\/p>\n
withdrawn by the complainant-petitioner from State Bank of India and Rs<\/p>\n
10,000\/- was paid to accused-respondent-2 and the complainant left him at<\/p>\n
the Bus Stand at his request and when he came back, he found that the<\/p>\n
amount of Rs 80,000\/- kept by him in the Boot of his scooter was missing.
\n Cr Misc M- 34651 of 2009                                                      5<\/span><\/p>\n
However, there was no direct evidence to the effect that the amount of Rs<\/p>\n
80,000\/- was stolen by respondent-2.\n<\/p>\n
             In respect of establishing a guilt in a criminal case, the facts<\/p>\n
and circumstances of the case are to be proved beyond shadow of doubt and<\/p>\n
unlike in a case of civil liability, the guilt of the accused cannot be fastened<\/p>\n
on mere preponderance          of probabilities. Both the Courts below having<\/p>\n
concurrently held that there is no direct evidence to show that respondent-2<\/p>\n
had committed the theft of Rs 80,000\/-, the same cannot be established on<\/p>\n
mere preponderance of probabilities. The fact that respondent-2 was riding<\/p>\n
pillion on the scooter and the amount of Rs 80,000\/- was lying in the Boot<\/p>\n
of the scooter, cannot by itself be said to be such a circumstance to show<\/p>\n
that only respondent-2 could have stolen the amount. This is more so for the<\/p>\n
reason that the recovery has not been effected.\n<\/p>\n
             Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance on the<\/p>\n
case of Madhu Yadav       v.    State of Bihar 2002(2) RCR (Cr) 769 (SC) to<\/p>\n
contend that mere non-recovery of stolen goods would not entitle an<\/p>\n
accused to acquittal. However, in the said case, oral evidence had formally<\/p>\n
established the theft and in the said circumstances mere non-recovery of<\/p>\n
stolen goods, it was held, would not entitle an accused to acquittal. In the<\/p>\n
present case, the oral evidence has not remotely established the theft.<\/p>\n
Therefore, non-recovery of the stolen cash would show that the allegations<\/p>\n
are even otherwise not corroborated. As such, the ratio of the said judgment<\/p>\n
in Madhu Yadav’s case is inappropriate to the facts and circumstances of<\/p>\n
the present case.\n<\/p>\n
             Keeping in view the aforesaid position, there is no ground to<\/p>\n
interfere with the concurrent orders P1 and P2 passed by the Courts below.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, this petition is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
