       ————————————————————————————-\n<\/p>\n
                    Date of hearing & judgment : 12.11.2009\n<\/p>\n
       ————————————————————————————-\n<\/p>\n
PRADIP MOHANTY, J.           This appeal is directed against the judgment and
\n       order dated 27.4.1999 passed by the learned 1st Additional Sessions
\n       Judge, Cuttack in Sessions Trial No.220 of 1997 convicting the
\n       appellant under section 302 I.P.C. and sentencing him to undergo
\n       imprisonment for life and to pay fine of Rs.25,000\/- in default to
\n       undergo R.I. for two years.\n<\/p>\n
       2.                    The case of the prosecution is that on 17.10.1996
\n       at about 3 P.M., the father of the informant (P.W.3) had been to his
\n       land to put “GARVANA STICK”, but he did not return. The informant
\n       went in search of his father and found him lying in the maize field
\n                                  2<\/span><\/p>\n
having injuries on his head and neck.           He lodged F.I.R. before the
\nKissannagar Police Station suspecting the present appellant and his
\nparents to be the assailants of his father. After investigation charge
\nsheet was filed against the present appellant and two others (parents
\nof the appellant).\n<\/p>\n
3.                    The plea of the present appellant is complete denial
\nof the allegations.\n<\/p>\n
4.                    In order to substantiate the charge, prosecution
\nexamined as many as seven witnesses including the doctor and the
\nI.O. and exhibited 23 documents. The defence examined one witness.\n<\/p>\n
5.                    The learned Additional Sessions Judge having
\nregard to the facts of the case, the evidence on record, leading to
\nrecovery under section 27 of the Evidence Act and corroboration
\nmade by D.W.1 in respect of recovery of weapons of offence came to
\nhold that the prosecution has been able to complete the chain of
\ncircumstance in order to bring home the charge against the present
\nappellant and convicted and sentenced him as stated earlier.              He,
\nhowever, acquitted the other two accused persons with the finding
\nthat the prosecution has miserably failed to prove the charge against
\nthem.\n<\/p>\n
4.                    Mr. Mulia, learned counsel for the appellant,<\/p>\n
assails the impugned judgment on the following grounds:\n<\/p>\n
        (i)           admittedly there is no eye-witness to the
\n        occurrence and the case solely rests on circumstantial
\n        evidence;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
        (ii)          the   prosecution   has    not   been   able   to\n        complete the chain of circumstance;\n\n        (iii)         there is no independent corroboration to the\n<\/pre>\n
        story relating to leading to recovery of the weapon of
\n        offence;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
                                3<\/span><\/p>\n
      (iv)           the so-called confessional statement cannot
\n      be accepted as it does not contain signature of the
\n      accused or the witnesses;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
      (v)            the prosecution has not produced nor proved
\n      the material object before the trial court; and<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
      (vi)           P.W.4, who is said to be a witness to the
\n      seizure of weapon of offence, has not supported the
\n      same.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
5.                   Mr.   Nayak,   learned   Additional   Government
\nadvocate in response submits that the prosecution has been able to
\ncomplete the chain of circumstances. P.Ws.2, 3 and 5 have clearly
\nestablished the motive behind the murder. Ten to fifteen days prior to
\nthe occurrence, the appellant and other accused persons had
\nassaulted the deceased.      The weapon of offence, i.e., Katari, was
\nrecovered at the instance of the appellant in presence of the
\nwitnesses.    The witnesses as well as the appellant have put their
\nsignature on the seizure list (Ext.3).         The appellant led the
\nInvestigating Officer to the place of concealment and gave recovery of
\nthe Katari. P.W.6, the doctor, in his examination-in-chief has opined
\nthat the cut wounds as described in the post-mortem report can be
\ncaused by such a weapon, i.e., a katari. Therefore, no fault can be
\nfound in the impugned judgment convicting the appellant under
\nsection 302 I.P.C.\n<\/p>\n
6.                   Perused the deposition of witnesses and the
\nexhibits. P.W.1 is said to be an eye-witness but he has not supported
\nthe prosecution case. Although the prosecution declared him hostile
\nand put leading questions, nothing has been elicited from him to
\nsupport its case. P.W.2 is the wife of the deceased Sarat Chandra
\nDas. She stated in her evidence that on the date of occurrence her
\nhusband had been to their land to fix “GARVANA STICK” as per the
\n                                  4<\/span><\/p>\n
tradition but till 5 P.M. he did not return. Her son went in search of
\nhis father and found him lying dead in the land. She has also stated
\nthat the appellant was absorbed in a temporary Government service
\nat Kendrapara due to the arrangement made by her husband.
\nSubsequently, after the appellant lost his temporary service, there
\nwas ill-feeling between the appellant and her husband. In her cross-
\nexamination P.W.2 stated that since her husband filed a case for
\nrestitution of conjugal rights, she filed a maintenance case against
\nher husband.          She also admitted that she had not informed the
\npolice about entry of the appellant and one Khirod into her house
\nbeing armed with Tenta. She also admitted that there was ill-feeling
\nbetween them. P.W.3, the informant, is the son of the deceased. He
\nhas corroborated the statement of her mother.           It is further stated
\nthat he lodged F.I.R. Ext.2 before Kissannagar Police Station.              In
\ncross-examination he admitted that 15 days before the occurrence
\nthe appellant entered into his house with Tenta but he did not inform
\nthis fact before the police.     P.W.4 is the witness to the seizure to
\nrecovery of weapon of offence, i.e., Katari. He has not supported the
\nprosecution case. He was declared hostile and thereafter leading
\nquestions were put to him. He admitted his signature in the seizure
\nlist   but     in   cross-examination   he   specifically   stated   that   on
\n24.10.1996, i.e., the date preceding to the date of seizure, being
\nshown by the police he traced the knife in the school field near the
\ndamaged latrine and seizure list was prepared and he put his
\nsignature. With regard to leading to recovery of weapon of offence by
\nthe appellant under section 27 of the Evidence Act he has not stated
\nanything in his statement.       P.W.5 is another son of the deceased.
\nP.W.6 is the doctor who conducted autopsy over the dead body of the
\ndeceased and found the following injuries :\n<\/p>\n
             (i)     Cut wound of size 13 cm. long with a gap of 12
\n                     cm. on extended neck and involves up to a
\n                     depth of pharynx, where the wound has cut
\n                     through and through the skin underline
\n                               5<\/span><\/p>\n
                 muscles and vessels on front and left side of
\n                 neck, the 4th cervical vertebral body along with
\n                 spinal cord and situated by encircling the front
\n                 and left side of the neck;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (ii)    Cut wound 3 cm. x 1 cm. x superficial muscle
\n                 deep situated in front of right shoulder vertically
\n                 3.5 cm. outer and below the lateral end of right
\n                 clavicle.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iii)   Cut wound 8 cm. length cutting 4 cm. in depth
\n                 with a gap of 1 cm. situated transversely and
\n                 little obliquely in the postero lateral aspect of
\n                 right fore arm 16.5 cm. above the lower end of
\n                 radius.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (iv)    Pressure abrasion of size 4 cm. x 1 cm. with
\n                 black coloured skin over it situated on the ulnar
\n                 boarder of right fore arm 2 cm. behind the outer
\n                 end of injury no.(iii).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (v)     Cut wound 4 cm. x 0.75 cm. x bone deep
\n                 situated in an antero posterior direction 4 cm.
\n                 above the mid point of left eye brow little
\n                 obliquely.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (vi)    Cut wound 8 cm. x 1 cm. x bone deep situated
\n                 over the right parietal region of the head at the
\n                 level of parietal eminence 5 cm. behind the
\n                 injury no.(vii).\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         (vii)   Cut wound 10 cm. x 1.5 cm. x bone deep
\n                 situated on right fronto parietal region of the
\n                 head 8 cm. above the root of right ear.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The doctor opined that all the injuries were ante-mortem in nature
\nand all the injuries, when considered together were fatal in ordinary
\ncourse of nature. The external injuries would have been caused by
\nany heavy or moderately heavy cutting weapon.        Nothing has been
\nelicited from his cross-examination by defence.        It is specifically
\nstated by the doctor that death of deceased occurred due to combined
\neffect of haemorrhage, shock and complete transection of spinal cord.\n<\/p>\n
                                       6<\/span><\/p>\n
       7.                  There is no dispute that the deceased Sarat
\n       Chandra Dash was lying with cut injuries on the head and neck.
\n       Information given regarding leading to discovery should be recorded
\n       and proved and if not so recorded, the exact information must be
\n       adduced through evidence. In the instant case, the information given
\n       by the accused has not been recorded nor proved and only the seizure
\n       list has been proved. No independent corroboration is there to
\n       support the prosecution case. Ext.16, the disclosure statement, on
\n       which much reliance has been placed by the trial court, does not
\n       contain the signature of the witness or the accused. The station diary
\n       entry has not been proved by the investigating officer. Though the
\n       conviction has been based on circumstantial evidence, the chain of
\n       circumstances is not complete. Only evidence available against the
\n       accused is that there was ill-feeling between the deceased and the
\n       present appellant. The claim of the prosecution regarding leading to
\n       recovery under section 27 of the Evidence Act has not been supported
\n       by any independent witness. No exact information has also been
\n       adduced through evidence that the accused led the police to the place
\n       of concealment and gave recovery of the weapon of offence.            The
\n       weapon of offence, i.e., Katari, was not produced and also not proved
\n       by the prosecution. In the circumstances, this Court opines that no
\n       conviction can be based on the evidence adduced\/produced by the
\n       prosecution.\n<\/p>\n
       8.                  In the result, this appeal is allowed and the order of
\n       conviction and sentence passed against the appellant is set aside.\n<\/p>\n
