The
\n\tpresent appeal, under Section 378 of the Code of Criminal Procedure,
\n\t1973, is directed against the Judgment and order of acquittal dated
\n\t16.06.2005 passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial
\n\tMagistrate, Gandevi, in Criminal Case No. 587 of 2001, whereby the
\n\tlearned Magistrate has acquitted the respondents   original
\n\taccused from the charges levelled against them.\n<\/p>\n
The
\n\tbrief facts of the case are that the respondents   accused are the
\n\tpartners  and doing the business in the name of  Sushil Casting
\n\tAs the respondents   accused were in need of money they met the
\n\tcomplainant at Bilimora and asked for Rs.1 lacs. The complainant
\n\tthereupon paid Rs.1 lac on giving the A\/c Payee cheque of Rs.1 lac
\n\tby the original accused No.4 as partner of said Firm bearing Cheque
\n\tNo.117264 dated 30.10.2000 drawn on Praga Sahakari Bank Ltd.,
\n\tAlembic Colony, Vadodara. The complainant deposited the said cheque
\n\tfor encashment on 20.12.2000 in Bank of Baroda, Gauhar Bag,
\n\tBilimora, but, the said cheque has been dishonoured by the Bank on
\n\tthe ground of insufficient balance. Therefore, the complainant
\n\tdemanded money by giving statutory notice on 18.1.2001 to the
\n\taccused. However, the accused did not pay the said amount to the
\n\tcomplainant. Thereafter the complainant filed complaint against the
\n\trespondents  accused for the offence under Section 138 of the
\n\tNegotiable Instruments Act, in the Court of learned Magistrate.\n<\/p>\n
To
\n\tprove the case against the present respondents   accused, the
\n\tprosecution has examined the complainant vide Exh. 54 and also
\n\tproduced documentary evidence vide Exh. 55 to 64.\n<\/p>\n
At
\n\tthe end of trial, after recording the statement of the accused under
\n\tSection 313 of Cr.P.C., and after hearing the arguments on behalf of
\n\tthe prosecution and the defence, the learned Magistrate has
\n\tacquitted the accused of all the charges levelled against him by
\n\tJudgment and order dated 16.06.2005 in Criminal Case No.587 of 2001.\n<\/p>\n
Being
\n\taggrieved by and dissatisfied with the Judgment and order passed by
\n\tthe trial Court the appellant   original complainant has preferred
\n\tthe present Appeal.\n<\/p>\n
Heard
\n\tlearned Counsel Mr. Rushabh Shah, appearing for Mr. J.B. Pardiwala,
\n\ton behalf of appellant   original complainant, learned Counsel
\n\tappearing for the respondents – accused and learned APP, on  behalf
\n\tof the State.\n<\/p>\n
It
\n\thas been contended by the learned Counsel for the appellant that the
\n\tJudgment and order of the trial Court is against the provisions of
\n\tlaw; the trial Court has not properly considered the evidence led by
\n\tthe prosecution and looking to the provisions of law, it is
\n\testablished that the trial Court has erred in not believing the case
\n\tof the complainant. He also contended that the ingredients of
\n\tSection 138 of the Act is also proved against the accused. He has
\n\talso contended that once the execution of the cheque is denied then
\n\tunless it is established through acceptable evidence by the defence
\n\tto show that the cheques were misused then and then only the trial
\n\tCourt can look into the other evidence. He also contended that the
\n\tcheques were not issued by the appellant in connection with any
\n\tbusiness transaction.  He has also contended that that the trial
\n\tCourt has not considered the entire evidence produced on record He,
\n\ttherefore, contended that the trial Court has committed grave error
\n\tin not believing the case of the complainant.\n<\/p>\n
At
\n\tthe outset it is required to be noted that the principles which
\n\twould govern and regulate the hearing of appeal by this Court
\n\tagainst an order of acquittal passed by the trial Court have been
\n\tvery succinctly explained by the Apex Court in a catena of
\n\tdecisions. In the case of
\n\tM.S. Narayana Menon @ Mani Vs. State of Kerala & Anr, reported
\n\tin (2006)6 SCC, 39,
\n\tthe Apex Court has narrated about the powers of the High Court in
\n\tappeal against
\n\tthe order of acquittal. In para 54 of the decision, the Apex Court
\n\thas observed as under:\n<\/p>\n
 54.
\n\t In any event the High Court entertained an appeal treating to be an
\n\tappeal against acquittal, it was in fact exercising the revisional
\n\tjurisdiction. Even while exercising an appellate power against a
\n\tjudgement of acquittal, the High Court should have borne in mind the
\n\twell-settled principles of law that where two view are possible, the
\n\tappellate court should not interfere with the finding of acquittal
\n\trecorded by the court below.\n<\/p>\n
Further,
\n\tin the case of Chandrappa
\n\tVs. State of Karnataka, reported in (2007)4 SCC 415
\n\tthe Apex Court laid down the following principles:\n<\/p>\n
 42.\tFrom
\nthe above decisions, in our considered view, the following general
\nprinciples regarding powers of the appellate court while dealing with
\nan appeal against an order of acquittal emerge:\n<\/p>\n
[1]\tAn
\nappellate court has full power to review, reappreciate and reconsider
\nthe evidence upon which the order of acquittal is founded.\n<\/p>\n
[2]\tThe
\nCode of Criminal Procedure, 1973 puts no limitation, restriction or
\ncondition on exercise of such power and an appellate court on the
\nevidence before it may reach its own conclusion, both on questions of
\nfact and of law.\n<\/p>\n
[3]\tVarious
\nexpressions, such as,  substantial and compelling reasons ,  good
\nand sufficient grounds ,  very strong circumstances ,
\n distorted conclusions ,  glaring mistakes , etc. are not
\nintended to curtail extensive powers of an appellate court in an
\nappeal against acquittal. Such phraseologies are more in the nature
\nof  flourishes of language  to emphasis the reluctance of an
\nappellate court to interfere with acquittal than to curtail the power
\nof the court to review the evidence and to come to its own
\nconclusion.\n<\/p>\n
[4]\tAn
\nappellate court, however, must bear in mind that in case of acquittal
\nthere is double presumption in favour of the accused. Firstly, the
\npresumption of innocence is available to him under the fundamental
\nprinciple of criminal jurisprudence that every person shall be
\npresumed to be innocent unless he is proved guilty by a competent
\ncourt of law. Secondly, the accused having secured his acquittal, the
\npresumption of his innocence is further reinforced, reaffirmed and
\nstrengthened by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n
[5]\tIf
\ntwo reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the evidence
\non record, the appellate court should not disturb the finding of
\nacquittal recorded by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n
Thus,
\n\tit is a settled principle that while exercising appellate power,
\n\teven if two reasonable conclusions are possible on the basis of the
\n\tevidence on record, the appellate court should not disturb the
\n\tfinding  of acquittal recorded by the trial court.\n<\/p>\n
Even
\n\tin a recent decision of the Apex Court in the case of State
\n\tof Goa V. Sanjay Thakran & Anr. Reported in (2007)3 SCC 75,
\n\tthe  Court has reiterated the powers of the High Court in such
\n\tcases.\n<\/p>\n
Similar
\n\tprinciple has been laid down by the Apex  Court in the cases of
\n\tState of
\n\tUttar Pradesh Vs. Ram Veer Singh & Ors, reported in 2007 AIR SCW
\n\t5553 and
\n\tin Girja
\n\tPrasad (Dead) by LRs Vs. state of MP, reported in 2007 AIR SCW 5589.
\n\tThus, the powers which this Court may exercise against an order of
\n\tacquittal are well settled.\n<\/p>\n
It
\n\tis also a settled legal position that in acquittal appeal, the
\n\tappellate court is not required to re-write the judgment or to give
\n\tfresh reasoning, when the reasons assigned by the Court below are
\n\tfound to be just and proper. Such principle is laid down by the Apex
\n\tCourt in the  case of State
\n\tof Karnataka Vs. Hemareddy, reported in AIR 1981 SC 1417.\n<\/p>\n
Thus,
\n\tin case the  appellate court agrees with the reasons and the opinion
\n\tgiven by the lower court, then the discussion of evidence is not
\n\tnecessary.\n<\/p>\n
I
\n\thave gone through the judgment and order passed by the trial court.
\n\tI have also perused the oral as well as documentary evidence led
\n\tbefore the trial court and also considered the submissions made by
\n\tlearned Advocate for the appellant. I have also gone through the
\n\tdecisions cited by the learned Advocate for the appellant. In the
\n\tfacts of the case, in my opinion, the said decision would not be
\n\tapplicable to the facts of the present case.\n<\/p>\n
The
\n\ttrial court,  after appreciating the oral as well as documentary
\n\tevidence, has found that the complainant has not been able to
\n\tsatisfactory explained as to from where did he get the money to be
\n\tpaid to the accused. The trial Court has also observed that
\n\tcomplainant has not proved the debt which is legally enforceable
\n\tagainst the accused. The trial Court has also clearly found that the
\n\tcomplainant has failed to prove the involvement of accused Nos.1 to\n<\/p>\n
\t3. The trial Court has also found nothing is produced on record to
\n\trebut the concrete findings of the trial Court.\n<\/p>\n
Thus,
\n\tthe appellant could not bring home the charge against the respondent
\n\t  accused in the present Appeal. The prosecution has miserably
\n\tfailed to prove the charge levelled against the respondent
\n\taccused.   Thus, from the
\n\tevidence itself it is established that the prosecution has not
\n\tproved its case as alleged against the accused beyond reasonable
\n\tdoubt.\n<\/p>\n
Learned
\n\tAdvocate for the appellant is not in a position to show any evidence
\n\tto take a contrary view in the matter or that the approach of the
\n\ttrial court is vitiated by some manifest illegality or that the
\n\tdecision is perverse or that the trial court has ignored the
\n\tmaterial evidence on record.\n<\/p>\n
In
\n\tabove view of the matter, I am of the considered opinion that the
\n\ttrial court was completely justified in acquitting the respondent of
\n\tthe charges leveled against him. I find that the findings recorded
\n\tby the trial court are absolutely just and proper and in recording
\n\tthe said findings, no illegality or infirmity has been committed by
\n\tit. The prosecution is unable to prove the main ingredients of
\n\tSection 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act.\n<\/p>\n
I
\n\tam, therefore, in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate
\n\tconclusion and the resultant order of acquittal recorded by the
\n\tcourt below and hence find no reasons to interfere with the same.
\n\tHence the appeal is hereby dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
In
\n\tview of above the Appeal is dismissed. The judgment and order dated
\n\t16.06.2005 passed by the learned Magistrate, in Criminal Case No.
\n\t587 of 2001 acquitting the respondents   accused of the offences
\n\tcharged against them is hereby confirmed. Bail bonds, if any, shall
\n\tstand cancelled.\tRecord & Proceeding may be sent back to the
\n\ttrial Court.\n<\/p>\n
