Brief reasons for the decision of the case: -
1.</pre><p data-structure="Facts" id="p_1"> In brief the story of prosecution is that on 24.06.2003 at about 02.00 AM in
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.1 of 8
night at Vikas Marg, in front of Hathishaala, Laxmi Nagar, Delhi, accused
Abhayjeet @ Anuj was driving his vehicle i.e. RTV bearing No. DL1VA
3418 (in short &quot;vehicle&quot;) in a rash and negligent manner and in the process
he struck his vehicle against two persons namely Mohd. Umar and
Khursheed, who were sitting on the footpath, causing simple injury to
Mohd. Umar and the death of Khursheed. Accordingly, an FIR was
registered against the accused for offences punishable<a href="/doc/1270101/" id="a_2"> u/s 279</a>/<a href="/doc/1402213/" id="a_3">337</a>/<a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_4">304-A</a>
IPC. After completion of investigation, present charge sheet was filed
against accused Abhayjeet for aforesaid offences on 25.11.2003 and
cognizance was also taken on the same date.
</p>
<p data-structure="Facts" id="p_2">2. Notice of accusation was served on the accused for offences punishable
u/s 279/337/304-A <a href="/doc/1569253/" id="a_5">IPC</a> on 06.06.2006 to which he pleaded not guilty and
claimed trial.
</p>
<p data-structure="Issue" id="p_3">3. During PE, only three witnesses were produced for evidence.
</p>
<p data-structure="PetArg" id="p_4">4. PW1 is Retd. SI Kedar Nath, the mechanical inspector. He proved the
mechanical inspection report of RTV bearing no.DL1VA 3418 which is
Ex.PW1/A.
</p><p data-structure="RespArg" id="p_5">5. PW2 is Ct. Rajiv, who joined investigation alongwith ASI Narender on
receiving D.D.No.6-A dt.24.06.2003. He got the FIR registered on the
direction of IO. The accused was arrested in his presence. Further the
Driving Licence and the offending vehicle of accused as well as the
documents of vehicle were also seized in the presence of this witness. He
correctly identified the accused.
</p>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_6">6. PW3 is IO/SI Narender Singh who stated that on receiving D.D.No.6/A, he
along with Ct.Narender went to the place of accident and found the
accidental vehicle bearing no.DL1VA 3418 at the spot. He recorded the
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.2 of 8
statement of injured Mohd. Umar vide Ex.PW3/A. Then, he went to LBS
hospital and collected MLC of deceased Khursheed. Thereafter, he
prepared rukka vide Ex.PW3/B and the site plan vide Ex.PW3/C. He
seized the vehicle and other documents and also arrested the accused.
He also got the mechanical inspection of the vehicle conducted. The body
of the deceased was handed over to the relatives after post mortem. After
completion of investigation, he filled the charge sheet. This witness
correctly identified the accused.
</p>
<p data-structure="Precedent" id="p_7">7. The prosecution had also cited three public witnesses namely Mohd.
</p><p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_8"> Umar, Shahi-ud-din and Choudhary Mahboob, in support of its case.
Mohd. Umar was the eye witness of the accident whereas Shahi-ud-din
and Choudhary Mahboob were the relatives of the deceased Khursheed.
However all the above public witnesses could not be examined as
repeated processes issued to them were returned unserved with the report
that the witnesses were untraceable. Even summons issued to them
through the IO as well as DCP proved futile to secure their presence in
court. Thereafter, PE was closed.
</p>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_9">8. Statement of accused was recorded<a href="/doc/767287/" id="a_6"> u/s 313</a> Cr.P.C. r/w 281 <a href="/doc/445276/" id="a_7">Cr.P.C</a>., on
03.12.2011, wherein, the accused admitted that the accident took place
from his vehicle but he also stated that he was not driving the vehicle in a
rash and negligent manner. He further stated that accident took place
because the brakes of his vehicle were not working and the deceased and
the injured came in front of his vehicle all of a sudden. No Defence
evidence was lead by the accused.
</p>
<p data-structure="PetArg" id="p_10">9. During final arguments, the Ld. APP prayed for conviction of the accused
arguing that the accused had himself admitted in his statement<a href="/doc/767287/" id="a_8"> u/s 313</a>
Cr.P.C., that the accident took place from his vehicle and the prosecution
witnesses examined in court have also corroborated this fact. On the other
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.3 of 8
hand, Ld. Defence counsel argued that the prosecution case was not
proved in view of non-examination of the sole eye witness Mohd. Umar.
He also argued that the statement of accused cannot be read in evidence
against him and the prosecution case must stand on its own legs. Even
otherwise he argued that the accused had merely admitted the accident
and he also stated that he was not driving the vehicle in a rash and
negligent manner. Accordingly, he prayed for acquittal of the accused.
Thereafter final arguments were closed.
</p>
<p data-structure="Section" id="p_11">10. In the present case, the accused is alleged to have committed an offence
punishable<a href="/doc/1270101/" id="a_9"> u/s 279</a>/<a href="/doc/1402213/" id="a_10">337</a>/<a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_11">304-A</a> IPC which reads as under:-
</p>
<blockquote id="blockquote_1"> Sec 279 <a href="/doc/1569253/" id="a_12">IPC</a>: &quot;Whoever drives any vehicle, or rides, on any public way in
a manner so rash or negligent as to endanger human life, or to be likely to
cause hurt or injury to any other person, shall be punished with
imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six
months, or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with
both.&quot;
</blockquote>
<blockquote id="blockquote_2"> Sec 337 <a href="/doc/1569253/" id="a_13">IPC</a>: &quot;Whoever causes hurt to any person by doing any act so
rashly or negligently as to endanger human life, or the personal safety of
others, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a
term which may extend to six months, or with fine which may extend to
five hundred rupees, or with both.&quot;
</blockquote>
<blockquote id="blockquote_3"> Sec 304-A <a href="/doc/1569253/" id="a_14">IPC</a>: &quot;Whoever causes the death of any person by doing any
rash or negligent act not amounting to culpable homicide shall be
punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may
extend to two years, or with fine, or with both.&quot;
</blockquote>
<blockquote id="blockquote_4"> So the prosecution is required to prove two things for offence<a href="/doc/1270101/" id="a_15"> u/s 279</a>
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.4 of 8
<a href="/doc/1569253/" id="a_16">IPC</a>:-
</blockquote>
<blockquote id="blockquote_5"> (a) Firstly, the accused was the driver of the vehicle in question, and
</blockquote><blockquote id="blockquote_6"> (b) Secondly, driving of vehicle by accused was in a manner so rash or
negligent, so as to endanger human life, or to be likely to cause hurt or
injury to any other person.
</blockquote>
<p data-structure="Conclusion" id="p_12"> Further in order to prove offence punishable<a href="/doc/1402213/" id="a_17"> u/s 337</a> IPC, the prosecution
in addition to above facts, is also required to prove :-
</p>
<blockquote id="blockquote_7"> (c) That by doing the aforesaid act in the aforesaid manner, the accused
caused simple hurt to any person.
</blockquote>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_13"> And in order to prove offence punishable<a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_18"> u/s 304-A</a> IPC, the prosecution in
addition to facts (a) and (b), is also required to prove :-
</p>
<blockquote id="blockquote_8"> (d) That by doing the aforesaid act in the aforesaid manner, the accused
also caused the death of a person;
</blockquote>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_14">11. Having heard the submissions of both sides, it is apparent that the
accused is not disputing the fact that the accident took place from his
vehicle and resultantly a death of a person was caused in the accident, so
the only question remaining before the court is whether the evidence on
record is sufficient to prove that the alleged accident was caused due to
the rash and negligent driving of the accused or not.
</p>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_15">12. Submissions of both sides has been duly considered and the evidence on
record carefully perused. As far as witnesses are concerned, PW1 is
mechanical inspector, who is a formal witness. PW2 is the police
constable who joined investigation with IO/ASI Narender after the
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.5 of 8
information regarding accident was received in the PS and lastly PW3 is
the IO himself. The testimony of PW2 and PW3 is corroborative in nature.
</p>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_16">13. In the instant case, the sole eye witness of this case namely, Mohd. Umar
remained untraceable. None of other witnesses produced by prosecution
is an eye witness. The testimony of PW2 and PW3 does not even form
circumstantial evidence against the accused. It is apparent that the
prosecution seeks conviction of the accused on the sole basis of his
statement<a href="/doc/767287/" id="a_19"> u/s 313</a> Cr.P.C., wherein he admitted that he committed the
accident. The question before the court at this stage is whether the
statement of accused can be treated as an evidence against him or not?
</p>
<p data-structure="Precedent" id="p_17">14. <span class="citetext" data-sentiment="Pos" data-docid="13149785" id="span_1">In <a href="/doc/13149785/" id="a_20">Sharad Birdhichand Sarda v. State of Maharashtra</a>, AIR 1984 SC
1622, the Hon&#x27;ble Supreme Court observed that it is well settled that the
prosecution&#x27;s case must stand or fall on its own legs and cannot derive
any strength from the weakness of the defence put up by the accused.</span>
<span class="citetext" data-sentiment="Pos" data-docid="469763" id="span_2">Further in <a href="/doc/469763/" id="a_21">Mohan Singh v. Prem Singh and Anr.</a> 2003 SCC (Crl.) 1514,
the Apex Court has held : &quot;The statement of accused under <a href="/doc/767287/" id="a_22">Section 313</a>
of Cr.P.C. is not a substantive piece of evidence. It can be used for
appreciating evidence led by the prosecution to accept or reject it. It is,
however, not a substitute for the evidence of the prosecution.&quot;</span> <span class="citetext" data-sentiment="Pos" data-docid="1589218" id="span_3">This
proposition of law was reiterated by Hon&#x27;ble Supreme Court in <a href="/doc/1589218/" id="a_23">Bishnu
Prasad Sinha v. State of Assam</a> reported as 2007 SCW 569 wherein it
was held that &quot;It is well settled that statements under <a href="/doc/767287/" id="a_24">Section 313</a> of the
Code of Criminal Procedure, cannot form the sole basis of conviction; but
the effect thereof may be considered in the light of other evidences
brought on record.&quot;</span>
</p>
<p data-structure="Conclusion" id="p_18">15. So, the above discussion leads to the settled proposition of law that the
statement of accused cannot be the sole basis of his conviction and it can
be used only for the limited purpose of lending credibility to the
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.6 of 8
prosecution case in the light of the evidence put forth by the prosecution.
So the statement of accused Abhayjeet<a href="/doc/767287/" id="a_25"> u/s 313</a> Cr.P.C. evenif inculpatory
to an extent, is not sufficient enough for the prosecution to secure
conviction of the accused.
</p>
<p data-structure="Precedent" id="p_19"><span class="citetext" data-sentiment="Pos" data-docid="155591" id="span_4">16. Even otherwise, one important point which has been ignored by the
prosecution is that the accused has also categorically stated that he was
not rash and negligent in driving the vehicle. Further he states that the
accident took place as the brakes of the vehicle were not working and the
deceased and injured came in front of his vehicle all of a sudden. So the
prosecution still has to prove one of the essential ingredient of the
offences<a href="/doc/1270101/" id="a_26"> u/s 279</a>/<a href="/doc/1402213/" id="a_27">337</a>/<a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_28">304-A</a> IPC i.e. rash and negligent driving of accused.
Reference can be made to observations of Hon&#x27;ble Supreme Court in
<a href="/doc/155591/" id="a_29">Naresh Giri v. State of M.P.</a> 2008 1 SCC791 where it was held that
&quot;Negligence and rashness are essential elements under <a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_30">Section 304-A</a>.&quot;</span>
<span class="citetext" data-sentiment="Pos" data-docid="506063" id="span_5">Furthermore, it has also been held in <a href="/doc/506063/" id="a_31">Lachhman v. State of Haryana</a>
2000(2) R.C.R.(Criminal) 727 that simply because an accident has taken
place there cannot be any presumption that accident took place due to
rash and negligent driving of the accused.</span>
</p>
<p data-structure="CDiscource" id="p_20">17. In the facts and circumstances of this case, there is no eye witness who
can prove under what circumstances the accident took place or whether
the accused was at fault or not. The sole eye witness is untraceable.
There is no evidence, direct or circumstantial, which can prove that the
accident had taken place due to rash and negligent driving of the accused.
So evenif it were to be presumed that the accident and death was caused
by the accused, he can still be held not liable for offences punishable<a href="/doc/1270101/" id="a_32"> u/s
279</a>/<a href="/doc/1402213/" id="a_33">337</a>/<a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_34">304-A</a> IPC as rash and negligent driving by him, is not proved.
</p>
<p data-structure="Conclusion" id="p_21">18. Infact, prosecution has completely failed to produce incriminating evidence
against accused. With these observations, as there is insufficient evidence
FIR No.272/2003 PS Shakarpur State v. Abhayjeet Page no.7 of 8
against accused Abhayjeet @ Anuj, he is hereby acquitted from offences
punishable<a href="/doc/1270101/" id="a_35"> u/s 279</a>/<a href="/doc/1402213/" id="a_36">337</a>/<a href="/doc/1371604/" id="a_37">304-A</a> IPC. Bail bond and surety bond of accused
shall be cancelled after six months in view of Section 437 (A) Cr.P.C.
</p>
<p data-structure="Conclusion" id="p_22"> Ordered accordingly. File be consigned to Record Room.
