Sessions Judge, Bhavnagar,<br \/>\ncamp at Mahuva, for the offence punishable under sec. 302 of Indian<br \/>\nPenal Code (for short  IPC ) and under section 135 of B.P. Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tIt<br \/>\nis the case of the prosecution that, on 20.2.1999, at about 9.30pm,<br \/>\nin Alang Shipyard, Plot No. 16, Alang-Sosiya Road, three unknown<br \/>\npersons were passing, who were known as  Mamas  with whom present<br \/>\nappellant was dashed, so due to the sudden provocation,  accused has<br \/>\nabused them and quarreled with them. So, colleague labourers Radhe<br \/>\nMangaru Dhobi and Jayram Badal had tried to solve the quarrel and<br \/>\nthey were departed by both the labourers and both have caught hold<br \/>\nthe hands of accused-appellant and came to his room. So accused has<br \/>\nquarreled with them and told them why he was not allowed to quarrel.<br \/>\nThen, accused-appellant entered in his room and came out with iron<br \/>\nrod with a knowledge and intention  to kill both the colleague<br \/>\nlabourers, and he assaulted and blows of iron rod were given by the<br \/>\npresent accused to both the colleagues labourers and due to the<br \/>\nserious injuries on the vital parts of the body, both were died and<br \/>\nhence accused has committed the offence of double murder. Then,<br \/>\noffence was registered at Alang Police Station vide CR No. 14\/1999<br \/>\nand investigation was put into motion and inquest panchnamas of dead<br \/>\nbody of both the deceased were drawn and clothes of deceased were<br \/>\nrecovered, panchnama of scene of offence was also drawn and formal<br \/>\nmap of place was prepared. Thereafter,  accused was arrested and<br \/>\npanchnama of physical condition of the accused was drawn and clothes<br \/>\nwere also recovered. Under the provision of sec. 27 of Evidence Act,<br \/>\nmuddamal weapon iron rod was discovered under panchnama of discovery<br \/>\nand  muddamal was sent to FSL for scientific analysis and report of<br \/>\nFSL as well as map prepared by Circle Inspector and copy of<br \/>\nnotification were tagged with investigation papers, and later on,<br \/>\npost mortem reports were received by I.O. and after completion of<br \/>\ninvestigation, charge-sheet was filed in the Court of Learned<br \/>\nJudicial Magistrate First Class, Mahuva.  As the offence was<br \/>\nexclusively triable by the Court of Sessions, the learned Magistrate<br \/>\nhas committed the case to the Court of Sessions at Bhavnagar.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tThereafter,<br \/>\nthe charge was framed and the accused pleaded not guilty to the said<br \/>\ncharge and claimed to be tried, therefore, trial was proceeded.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tIn<br \/>\norder to bring home the charge levelled against the accused, the<br \/>\nprosecution has examined, in all, eleven witnesses, which are as<br \/>\nunder:\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-1<br \/>\n\tDr. Sanatkumar Vrujlal Joshi Ex. 12.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-2<br \/>\n\tSuresh Jinnu Kanojiya Ex. 19<\/p>\n<p>PW-3<br \/>\n\tMehbubbhai Suleman Ghanchi Ex. 23.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-4<br \/>\n\tVijaysinh Muljibhai Rathod Ex. 25.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-5<br \/>\n\tSukhram Bhokal Sahani Ex. 26.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-6<br \/>\n\tHariprasad Bipat Dhobi Ex. 27.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-7<br \/>\n\tBirendrakumar Kadar Kanojiya Ex. 30.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-8<br \/>\n\tBhagwanbhai Raghabhai Koli Ex. 32.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-9<br \/>\n\tSadikali Lakhani Ex. 33.\n<\/p>\n<p>PW-10<br \/>\n\tNatubha Prabhatsinh Jadeja Ex. 35<\/p>\n<p>PW-11<br \/>\n\tBavanji Davabhai Vaghiya, PSI, Ex. 39.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tTo<br \/>\nprove the culpability of the accused, the prosecution has also<br \/>\nproduced and relied upon the following documentary evidence vide Ex.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.

Sessions Judge, Bhavnagar,<br \/>\ncamp at Mahuva, vide impugned judgment and order dated 28.2.2001 held<br \/>\nthe accused appellant guilty for  the offence punishable under sec.<br \/>\n302 of IPC and was convicted and sentenced to suffer rigorous<br \/>\nimprisonment for life with fine of Rs. 10,000\/-, in default, to<br \/>\nundergo simple imprisonment for one year.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tBeing<br \/>\naggrieved by and dissatisfied with the impugned judgment and order of<br \/>\nconviction and sentence passed by the learned trial Judge, the<br \/>\npresent appellant has preferred this appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\tHeard<br \/>\nMs. Sadhana Sagar learned advocate appearing for the<br \/>\nappellant-accused and Mr. L.B. Dabhi learned APP appearing for the<br \/>\nrespondent   State.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\tLearned<br \/>\nadvocate Ms. Sagar has contended that the present appellant is<br \/>\nwrongly booked in the alleged commission of offence of double murder<br \/>\nand wrongly convicted. She has also contended that the prosecution<br \/>\nhas failed to produce cogent and convincing evidence to prove the<br \/>\ncase beyond any reasonable doubt. It is also contended that the<br \/>\nevidence of  eye witness cannot be considered trustworthy and<br \/>\ncorroborative piece of evidence. Ms. Sagar has read the oral evidence<br \/>\nof the witnesses and argued that the evidence of eye witness is<br \/>\ntotally contradictory evidence with oral evidence of medical expert.<br \/>\nShe has also contended that from the documentary evidence, it has<br \/>\ncome on record that place of offence was  changed, so this is a<br \/>\ndoubtful evidence and appellant-accused was entitled for the  benefit<br \/>\nof doubt and also established that the case of the prosecution would<br \/>\nbe fatal, yet the trial Court has not considered the said aspect in<br \/>\nfavour of the appellant-accused. She has read the injury part from<br \/>\nthe evidence of PW-1 Dr. Sanatkumar Vrujlal Joshi Ex. 12 and<br \/>\ncontended that said injuries are not possible by muddamal iron rod.<br \/>\nShe has also read Ex. 14 and Ex. 15 and contended that from the above<br \/>\ndocumentary evidence, it is established that prosecution has failed<br \/>\nto prove its case.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\tMs.\n<\/p>\n<p>Sadhna Sagar has contended that evidence of PW-6 Hariprasad Bippat<br \/>\nDhobi Ex. 27, is not a reliable and trustworthy evidence because it<br \/>\nis not an evidence of eye witness. So, it is established that<br \/>\nprosecution has failed to prove its case beyond any reasonable doubt.<br \/>\nShe has also contended that discovery panchnama at Ex. 34 is<br \/>\nconcocted evidence and in absence of oral evidence of panchas,<br \/>\ndiscovery panchnama cannot be considered as proved document. She has<br \/>\nagain read the oral evidence of eye witness and argued that said<br \/>\nwitness is an interested witness and when the case was established<br \/>\nwith a clouds of doubt, then, appellant is entitled to get acquittal.\n<\/p>\n<p>12.\tLearned<br \/>\nAPP Mr. Dabhi appearing for the respondent-State has contended that<br \/>\nthere is voluminous reliable, trustworthy and clinching evidences on<br \/>\nrecord, which, unequivocally  and unerringly  prove that the<br \/>\nappellant-accused has committed the offence of double murder. He<br \/>\ncontended that the  appellant has cruelly attacked on both the<br \/>\ndeceased and due to maximum blows of iron rod on the vital parts of<br \/>\nthe bodies of deceased resulted into double murder. He further<br \/>\ncontended that from the evidence of complainant, eye-witness and<br \/>\nother witnesses, as well as from the documentary evidence, the<br \/>\nprosecution has proved the guilt of the accused beyond any reasonable<br \/>\ndoubt. He contended that at the time of the assault, the appellant<br \/>\nwas fully knowing that if more blows of the iron rod on the vital<br \/>\nparts of the body, is given, then, person can die and with this<br \/>\nknowledge and intention, more and more blows were given to the<br \/>\ndeceased and they were died, therefore, the appellant has committed<br \/>\nserious offence of double murder. He further contended that the<br \/>\nprosecution has established its case beyond any reasonable doubt and<br \/>\nprayed that the judgment and order passed by the trial court is<br \/>\nrequired to be confirmed. He has also contended that the trial Court,<br \/>\nafter fully appreciating the evidence, has rightly convicted and<br \/>\nsentenced the appellant-accused. There is no lacuna in the judgment<br \/>\nof the trial Court  and prayed to confirm the judgment and order of<br \/>\nconviction and sentence passed by the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>13.\tWe<br \/>\nhave gone through the oral as well as documentary evidence led by the<br \/>\nprosecution before the trial Court. We have also undertaken a<br \/>\ncomplete and comprehensive appreciation  of all vital features of the<br \/>\ncase and entire evidence on record, which read and re-read by the<br \/>\nlearned advocates appearing for the parties to bring the reasonable<br \/>\nprobabilities of the case. It is not in dispute that victims died<br \/>\nhomicidal death.\tThe prosecution has relied upon oral evidence of<br \/>\nPW-6 Hariprasad Bippat Dhobi Ex. 27, complainant, as well as eye<br \/>\nwitness and evidence of the star witness PW-1 Dr. Sanatkumar Vrujlal<br \/>\nJoshi Ex. 12 and also relied upon oral evidence of panch of<br \/>\n&#8216;discovery panchnama&#8217; PW-9 Sadikali Lakhani Ex. 33 and evidence of<br \/>\nI.O., and also relied upon  oral as well as documentary evidence of<br \/>\nother witnesses. We have perused and considered the oral evidence of<br \/>\nPW-1 and PW-6. We have found from the oral evidence of PW-1 regarding<br \/>\nthe injuries of both the deceased. It has come  on record from the<br \/>\noral evidence of PW-1 Ex. 12 that serious injuries were found on the<br \/>\ndead-body of Radhe Magaru Dhobi, which are as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>CLW<br \/>\n\t6cm long, 2cm broad and brain deep in horizontal<\/p>\n<p>direction<br \/>\n\tin occipital region.\n<\/p>\n<p>CLW<br \/>\n\t4cm long, 2cm broad and bone deep in horizontal direction in<br \/>\n\toccipital region.\n<\/p>\n<p>CLW<br \/>\n\tof 4cm long, 2cm broad, 2cm deep on forehead between upper side of<br \/>\n\teye-brow.\n<\/p>\n<p>Multiple<br \/>\n\tfracture of the occipital bone.\n<\/p>\n<p>14.\tWe<br \/>\nhave also found from the oral evidence of doctor that Radhe Magaru<br \/>\nhas received multi-fracture injuries on occipital  bone and from the<br \/>\nconsideration of the discovered muddamal weapon, we  in complete<br \/>\nagreement with the opinion of PW-1 and  confirmed that all the<br \/>\ninjuries were possible by the present muddamal iron rod.\n<\/p>\n<p>15.\tWe<br \/>\nhave also perused oral evidence regarding the fatal injuries found<br \/>\nfrom the dead-body of deceased Jayram Badal as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>CLW<br \/>\n\tsized 5cm long 2cm broad and bone deep on the forehead 5cm above the<br \/>\n\tright eye towards occipital region.\n<\/p>\n<p>CLW<br \/>\n\tsized 10cm long 2cm broad and bone deep on the middle of the right<br \/>\n\tside of the skull (Rt. Parietal  region) towards occipital region.\n<\/p>\n<p>Fracture<br \/>\n\tof right parietal bone towards occipital region.\n<\/p>\n<p>16.\tWe<br \/>\nhave also perused the oral evidence of PW-2 Suresh Jinnu Kanojiya,<br \/>\npanch witness of place of offence, Ex. 20. We have not found any<br \/>\ncontradictory version in connection of contents of Ex. 20. From the<br \/>\nperusal of oral evidence of PW-4 Vijaysinh Muljibhai Rathod Ex. 25,<br \/>\nit is established by this witness that when he was in search of<br \/>\nappellant-accused at area of Bhavnagar Railway Station and from the<br \/>\ndoubtful  conduct of a person, he has interrogated  this witness and<br \/>\nbefore him the accused-appellant has explained the incident of this<br \/>\ncase, so he was produced before I.O. and present witness has narrated<br \/>\nthe whole scenario in his statement before the police.  From the<br \/>\nabove evidence, the question of the confession is required to be<br \/>\ndiscussed. We have found that at the event of the statement made by<br \/>\nappellant before this witness, witness was not aware about the act of<br \/>\nthe accused, and at that time, appellant was not in a police custody,<br \/>\nso the statement made by appellant before this witness is required to<br \/>\nbe considered as a extra-judicial confession and we have not found<br \/>\nany fault in view of the oral evidence produced by the said witness.\n<\/p>\n<p>17.\tThe<br \/>\nprosecution has examined panch witness of discovery panchnama Ex. 34,<br \/>\nPW-9 Sadikali Lakhani Ex. 33 and oral evidence of I.O., we have found<br \/>\nthat contents of discovery panchnama Ex. 34 was proved beyond any<br \/>\ndoubt by prosecution and from the perusal of above evidence and from<br \/>\nthe serological report Ex. 49, blood was found on the muddamal weapon<br \/>\nand from  other articles,  blood group of deceased was found.\n<\/p>\n<p>18.\tFrom<br \/>\nthe oral and documentary evidence, it is established that with some<br \/>\nunknown persons, some quarrel took place between appellant and said<br \/>\npersons have just to avoid said quarrel,  appellant was brought by<br \/>\nthem at their room and at that  time, appellant was very aggressive<br \/>\nand was in a mood to quarrel with unknown persons and he was<br \/>\nprevented, so due to that reason, he has taken out the iron rod  and<br \/>\nboth the  deceased were assaulted by the appellant-accused  and due<br \/>\nto this, both have received fatal injuries which were resulted into<br \/>\ntheir death. We have found that more and more blows were given by the<br \/>\nappellant to both the deceased with an intention to kill them. We<br \/>\nhave not found any wrong that prosecution has failed to prove its<br \/>\ncase beyond reasonable doubt.\n<\/p>\n<p>19.\tWe<br \/>\nare of the opinion that if the substratum  of prosecution case<br \/>\nremains unaffected and remaining part of the evidence is trustworthy,<br \/>\nthe prosecution case should be accepted to the extent that it is to<br \/>\nbe considered safe and trustworthy.\n<\/p>\n<p>20.\tThis<br \/>\nCourt has considered the submissions advanced by the learned<br \/>\nadvocates appearing for the parties and perused the impugned judgment<br \/>\nand order. This Court has undertaken a complete and comprehensive<br \/>\nappreciation of all vital features of the case and the entire<br \/>\nevidence on record, which is read and re-read by the learned<br \/>\nadvocates appearing for the parties with reference to broad and<br \/>\nreasonable probabilities of the case. In light of caution sounded by<br \/>\nthe Supreme Court while dealing with criminal appeals, this court has<br \/>\nexamined the entire evidence on record for itself, independently of<br \/>\nthe trial Court and considered the arguments advanced on behalf of<br \/>\nthe accused and infirmities pressed scrupulously with a view to find<br \/>\nout as to whether the trial Court has rightly recorded the order of<br \/>\nconviction and sentence.\n<\/p>\n<p>21.\tAs<br \/>\nobserved and discussed at length, in our opinion, in light of the<br \/>\noral as well as documentary evidence, it is established by the<br \/>\nprosecution that the appellant-accused gave maximum blows of iron rod<br \/>\nto the deceased and committed the offence of murder of Radhe Mangaru<br \/>\nDhobi and Jayram Badal punishable under sec. 302 of IPC. So, we are<br \/>\nof the opinion that there is no reason for witnesses to falsely<br \/>\ninvolve the appellant-accused in the incident. We have found that the<br \/>\nlearned trial Judge has rightly convicted and sentenced the<br \/>\nappellant-accused. Therefore, the conviction and sentence awarded by<br \/>\nthe trial Court against the appellant-accused does not call for any<br \/>\ninterference of this Court in exercise of appellate power.\n<\/p>\n<p>22.\tWe<br \/>\nfind ourselves in complete agreement with the said findings, ultimate<br \/>\nconclusion and resultant order of conviction  passed by the trial<br \/>\ncourt and we are of the view that no other conclusion except the one<br \/>\nreached by the trial Court is possible in the instant case as the<br \/>\nevidence on record stands. Therefore, there is no valid reason or<br \/>\njustifiable ground to interfere with the impugned judgment and order<br \/>\nof conviction and sentence.\n<\/p>\n<p>23.\tFor<br \/>\nthe foregoing reasons, the appeal fails and is hereby dismissed. The<br \/>\njudgment and order of conviction and sentence dated 28.2.2001<br \/>\nrecorded by the trial Court against  the appellant-accused in<br \/>\nSessions Case No. 86\/1999 is hereby confirmed and maintained.<br \/>\nMuddamal be disposed of in terms of directions contained in the<br \/>\nimpugned judgment and order passed by the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n<p>24.\tThis<br \/>\nappeal is accordingly dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>(J.\n<\/p>\n<p>R.
