KRISHNAN, J.\n                       ---------------------------\n                    CRL.A.NO.1757 OF 2003\n                       ------------------------------\n               Dated this the 29th day of July, 2009\n\n                           JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n
      This is an appeal preferred against the conviction and<\/p>\n
sentence passed in S.C.No.9\/2000 of the Additional Sessions<\/p>\n
Judge (Adhoc), Fast Track Court-I, Manjeri             by the second<\/p>\n
accused.    The second accused was charge sheeted for the<\/p>\n
offences under Sections 55(a) and (g) and was convicted for<\/p>\n
the offence under Section 55 (g). He was sentenced to undergo<\/p>\n
imprisonment for a period of three years and to pay a fine of<\/p>\n
Rs. One lakh and in default to undergo further imprisonment<\/p>\n
for a period one year. It is against that decision, the second<\/p>\n
accused has come up in appeal.\n<\/p>\n
      2. The points that arise for determination in the appeal<\/p>\n
are whether materials are sufficient to hold           the appellant<\/p>\n
guilty under Section 55(g) of the Abkari Act (2) in case of<\/p>\n
guilt, the sentence imposed is excessive.<\/p>\n
      3. Points 1 and 2:\n<\/p>\n
      Heard the learned counsel for the appellant as well as<\/p>\n
the Public Prosecutor. The learned counsel for the appellant<\/p>\n
                                 2<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1757\/03<\/p>\n
very strongly    contends before me      that materials are not<\/p>\n
sufficient and evidence of the witnesses are not acceptable<\/p>\n
and really there is nothing to connect the accused with the<\/p>\n
crime.\n<\/p>\n
     4. It is the case of the prosecution that on 23.10.1998 at<\/p>\n
about 6.15 p.m the accused on information that the appellant<\/p>\n
and one Ravi     were   distilling illicit arrack in  a Cashew<\/p>\n
Plantation belonging to one Kuttikrishnan, the excise party<\/p>\n
proceeded and on their arrival, the first accused who was<\/p>\n
holding a Can, put it down and ran away and he could not be<\/p>\n
apprehended immediately. They were able to find the present<\/p>\n
appellant stirring in a tin pot with a stick and on examination,<\/p>\n
it was found to be wash.       As A1 could not be apprehended<\/p>\n
and as the Can had been broken, immediately          sample was<\/p>\n
taken from the Can and later from the tin containing wash in<\/p>\n
the presence of the witnesses and it was sealed. The accused<\/p>\n
was arrested and later produced before the court.<\/p>\n
        5. The supporting evidence is that of PWs 1 and 2.<\/p>\n
PW1 had deposed about the factum of their patrolling, visit of<\/p>\n
the place where the accused was found and that the second<\/p>\n
accused namely, the appellant was stirring        a liquid in the<\/p>\n
                               3<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1757\/03<\/p>\n
tin vessel which was placed beneath the earth. The sample<\/p>\n
was taken from the pot containing wash          as the material<\/p>\n
object but the stick which was stirred was not taken. Later,<\/p>\n
the   matter was proceeded further.       He had    been cross<\/p>\n
examined at length.    The cross examination is directed on the<\/p>\n
question of ownership of the property and the fact that the<\/p>\n
accused was residing in a far of place from the garden and<\/p>\n
the specific contention is that as the accused did not care to<\/p>\n
carry the wash which they have found out, the officials have<\/p>\n
foisted a false case.\n<\/p>\n
      6. PW2 is the person who had accompanied Pw1. He<\/p>\n
had also spoken in line with the evidence of PW1 and he had<\/p>\n
also categorically denied the suggestion that the appellant was<\/p>\n
booked in a false case. PW3 and PW4 are the independent<\/p>\n
witnesses to the seizure mahazer who had         turned hostile.<\/p>\n
PW5 had     spoken about his signature    in the scene mahazer.<\/p>\n
PW7 is the person who had conducted the investigation and<\/p>\n
had spoken about the way in which the investigation was done<\/p>\n
and how the matter has been proceeded with.<\/p>\n
     7. DW1 is a witness examined by the accused to prove<\/p>\n
that the accused was an employee and he was caught hold of<\/p>\n
                                4<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1757\/03<\/p>\n
by the police when he disobeyed their order to carry the tin.<\/p>\n
The seizure mahazer speaks       about the way in which the<\/p>\n
things have been done.     The property had reached the court<\/p>\n
and it had been sent for chemical analysis.    The property list<\/p>\n
reached the court on 2.11.1998.       The chemical examiner’s<\/p>\n
report would reveal that 300 ml of wash was received by the<\/p>\n
chemical analyst and seals on the bottles were intact       and<\/p>\n
found tallied with the sample seal provided. The percentage of<\/p>\n
ethyl alcohol in the wash was 12.62%.\n<\/p>\n
     8. It is argued that without proving the possession of the<\/p>\n
place where the materials were found, the        court was not<\/p>\n
right in arriving at a conclusion that the accused was<\/p>\n
guilty of the offence. It is the fairly settled principle of law<\/p>\n
that when a person is found to be in possession of wash or<\/p>\n
liquor in a particular place,   the ownership of the property is<\/p>\n
not material to decide the question for the reason that the<\/p>\n
offence relates to the liquor seized   and not   relating to the<\/p>\n
property. Therefore, if the court accepts the evidence of PWs<\/p>\n
1 and 2 on that point, then this argument will not last long. It<\/p>\n
is true that the independent witnesses had turned hostile.<\/p>\n
The hostility of the independent witnesses as observed by      a<\/p>\n
                               5<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1757\/03<\/p>\n
learned    Judge of   this  court in  the decision reported in<\/p>\n
Sivaram v. State of Kerala (1981 (1) KLT SN Page 9 Case<\/p>\n
No.17) has become       a usual practice.   Then    the   court<\/p>\n
considered under what circumstances, the evidence of official<\/p>\n
witness can be accepted.     The court held that the caution to<\/p>\n
be applied is that there must be meticulous scrutiny to find<\/p>\n
out   intrinsic  reliability and   inherent probability of the<\/p>\n
evidence. I have carefully scrutinized the evidence of Pws 1<\/p>\n
and 2. They have no axe to grind against the accused. The<\/p>\n
mere suggestion that as      he failed to carry     the tin as<\/p>\n
directed by them, a false case is foisted is too difficult to<\/p>\n
be accepted. Their evidence pin pointedly shows that when<\/p>\n
they visited the property, they saw the present appellant<\/p>\n
stirring the wash in a vessel. The accused has been arrested<\/p>\n
from the spot,   sample taken, produced before the court and<\/p>\n
sent it for   analysis which revealed    the presence of ethyl<\/p>\n
alcohol. I feel the chain is completed to conclude the guilt<\/p>\n
of the accused. Therefore, I do not propose to interfere with<\/p>\n
the conviction ordered under Section 55(g) of the Abkari Act.<\/p>\n
      9. So far as the sentence is concerned, I feel that the<\/p>\n
court below was little harsh most probably on account of the<\/p>\n
                                 6<\/span>
\nCRL.A.NO.1757\/03<\/p>\n
social impact that will be created. The appellant is a poor<\/p>\n
person.   They were not able to find any utensil which is<\/p>\n
normally used for the illicit distillation of the arrack from that<\/p>\n
place. Therefore some leniency can be shown and I feel, justice<\/p>\n
can be met      by  reducing the sentence      to   three months<\/p>\n
imprisonment and also reducing the default sentence to one<\/p>\n
month.\n<\/p>\n
     10. In the result the criminal appeal is disposed of as<\/p>\n
follows:\n<\/p>\n
    1.The finding of guilt under Section 55(g) is sustained.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
    2. The sentence is modified and the appellant herein<\/p>\n
      namely the second accused is sentenced to undergo R.I<\/p>\n
      for 3 months and to pay a fine of Rs. One lakh and in<\/p>\n
      default to undergo further sentence for one month. He<\/p>\n
      is also entitled to set off as contemplated under Section<\/p>\n
      428 of the Cr.P.C. The lower court shall execute the<\/p>\n
      sentence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
