Yadav Lohar And Others vs State Of Bihar on 30 September, 1990<\/div>\n
Equivalent citations: AIR 1990 SC 2255, 1990 CriLJ 2668, 1991 Supp (1) SCC 214<\/div>\n
Bench: S Mukharji, K Singh, N Ojha<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
<\/pre>\n
JUDGMENT<\/p>\n
1. The three appellants in the present appeal were convicted by the Additional Sessions Judge, Jamshedpur for offences under Sections 302\/149, 307\/149 and 147 of the Penal Code and were sentenced to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life, rigorous imprisonment for ten years and rigorous imprisonment for two years respectively. The conviction and the sentences awarded by the Sessions Judge was upheld by the High Court’s order dated 6th April, 1978. The appellants challenged the correctness of the conviction by means of this appeal.\n<\/p>\n
2. Appellant No. 2, Prem Chand Lohar, died during the pendency of the appeal in this Court. Thus the present appeal is confined to Yadav Lohar, appellant No. 1, and Khiroda Loharin, appellant No. 3.\n<\/p>\n
After hearing learned Counsel for the parties at length, we are of the opinion tht this appeal must succeed. The Sessions Judge as well as the High Court both have recorded findings that appellants 1 and 3 were not armed with any weapons. There is further no finding that any of the two appellants committed any overt act in commission of the offences. They were merely present in a crowd of 50 to 60 persons when the fight took place and as a result of which they have been convicted by both the Courts with the aid of Sections 149 and 147 of the Penal Code. Having gone through the evidence on record, we do not find that any case has been made out against the appellants beyond reasonable doubt. The appellant’s presence and participation in the commission of the offences for which they have been convicted, is highly doubtful.\n<\/p>\n
3. In the circumstances, we allow the appeal, set aside the conviction and sentences awarded to the appellants. The appellants are on bail, their bail bonds are discharged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
