Instruction:
The appellant before us was examined as prime witness in the trial of T.R. on the file of the Special Judge against the first respondent. The trial ended in conviction against the first respondent and when the appeal filed by him came to be heard by the High Court the appellant had become a Cabinet Minister. On account of the disparaging remarks made by the Appellate Judge the appellant tendered his resignation and demitted office for maintaining democratic traditions. It is in that backgroud this appeal has come to be preferred. Pursuant to a trap laid by the Vigilance Police on the complaint of the appellant's Manager, P1 (P.W.2) the first respondent was arrested on 26.4.79 for having accepted a bribe of Rs. 2,000 from P1. The marked currency notes were recovered from the brief case of the first respondent prior to the arrest. The prosecution case was that the first respondent had been extracting illegal gratification at the rate of Rs. 1,000 er month during the months of January, February and March, 1979 from P1 but all of a sudden he raised the demand to Rs. 2,000 per month in April 1979 and this led to P1 laying information (Exhibit I) before the Superintendent of Police (Vigilance). Acting on the report, a trap was laid on 26.4.79 and after P1 had handed over the marked currency notes the Vigilance party entered the office and recovered the currency notes from the brief case and arrested the first respondent. The first respondent denied having received any illegal gratification but offered no explanation for the presence of the currency notes in his brief case. Eleven witnesses including the appellant who figured as P.W.8 were examined by the prosecution and the first respondent examined three witnesses D.Ws. 1 to 3 to substantiate the defence set up by him, viz., that the sum of Rs. 2,000 had been paid by way of donation for conducting a drama and publishing a souvenir by the Mining Officers' Club and also towards donation for Children's Welfare Fund.The Special Judge accepted the prosecution case and held the first respondent guilty. The Special Judge awarded a sentence of rigorous imprisonment for one year for the conviction under the first charge but did not award any separate sentence for the conviction under the second. Against the conviction and sentence the first respondent appealed to the High Court. A learned Judge of the High Court has allowed the appeal holding that the prosecution has not proved its case by acceptable evidence and besides, the first respondent's explanation for the possession of the currency notes appeared probable. While acquitting the first respondent the learned Judge has, however, made several adverse remarks about the conduct of the appellant and about the credibility of his testimony and it is with that part of the judgment we are now concerned with in this appeal.

Instruction:
The complainant P1 filed a Special Leave Petition in this court seeking leave to appeal against the judgment dated 6th April, 1993 of the High Court.  The incident for which these accused were charged is the murder of P2, son of the complainant P1 (appellant) on 13th June, 1982. As per the case of the prosecution, the complainant along with his son P2 (deceased) was getting his maize field weeded through the help of a few labourers on the morning of 13th June, 1982. His real brother P3 came on the spot and forbade the complainant from doing so. The complainant insisted that he had right to carry on the work in the field which belonged to him. On this P3, who was accompanied by his son accused P4 and P5 abused the labourers and drove them away from the field. The complainant took strong objection to this but the accused party started abusing the complainant and his son and started pelting stones on them. The complainant and his son also threw stones on the opposite party in their defence. In the meantime, some villagers came and intervened in the fight. As a result of this, the accused persons went away. The complainant and his son P2 continued with the work in the field. After a few hours, that is about 10.00 a.m., few villagers informed the complainant that the accused persons were coming back armed with weapons. The complainant did not pay heed to this warning thinking that the accused persons were his close relations. Within a short time, all the seven accused persons reached the spot. Seeing them, the complainant and his son P2 ran for their safety and entered the nearby house of P6. They hid themselves in a room by bolting the room from inside.2. However, as the main gate of the house had remained open, the accused persons rushed inside the house and broke open the door which had been bolted from inside. They entered the room where the complainant and his son P2 were hiding. P2 was dragged outside the room in the courtyard of the house where accused P4 is said to have given a bhala blow on his stomach. As a result of the blow, P2 fell down. Accused P3 gave a pharsa blow on the head of P2. The other accused persons also assaulted P2 with their weapons. The complainant tried to save his son but he was also assaulted by accused P7 and P5. While this was going on, the villagers accompanied by P9, P10, P11 and P12 came and intervened and saved the victims from further assault. However, P2 died on the spot. Police came in the village at about 1.00 p.m. when statement of the complainant P1 was recorded. On the basis of the said statement, an FIR was recorded and the seven accused persons were charge-sheeted and tried for the aforesaid offences. The sessions court by its judgment dated 19th June, 1992 while giving benefit of doubt to the accused persons and finding fault with the investigation acquitted all the accused persons. The State filed an appeal against the said judgment of the Sessions Court. The High Court dismissed the appeal in limine making the following observations :"As regards merits, it is clear from the perusal of the record that the witness named in the fardbayan have not been examined by the prosecution and also that the witnesses examined in Court were examined by the police after eight months from the date of occurrence. It is also clear that the Investigating Office of the case has not been examined. Therefore, there are no merits. Further the appeal is barred by limitation also, which cannot be considered." Against the said judgment of the High Court, the complainant filed a Special Leave Petition in this Court. Leave was granted. Hence the present appeal. The appeal has been registered for final hearing.

Instruction:
The complainant P1 filed a Special Leave Petition in this court seeking leave to appeal against the judgment dated 6th April, 1993 of the High Court.  The incident for which these accused were charged is the murder of P2, son of the complainant P1 (appellant) on 13th June, 1982. As per the case of the prosecution, the complainant along with his son P2 (deceased) was getting his maize field weeded through the help of a few labourers on the morning of 13th June, 1982. His real brother P3 came on the spot and forbade the complainant from doing so. The complainant insisted that he had right to carry on the work in the field which belonged to him. On this P3, who was accompanied by his son accused P4 and P5 abused the labourers and drove them away from the field. The complainant took strong objection to this but the accused party started abusing the complainant and his son and started pelting stones on them. The complainant and his son also threw stones on the opposite party in their defence. In the meantime, some villagers came and intervened in the fight. As a result of this, the accused persons went away. The complainant and his son P2 continued with the work in the field. After a few hours, that is about 10.00 a.m., few villagers informed the complainant that the accused persons were coming back armed with weapons. The complainant did not pay heed to this warning thinking that the accused persons were his close relations. Within a short time, all the seven accused persons reached the spot. Seeing them, the complainant and his son P2 ran for their safety and entered the nearby house of P6. They hid themselves in a room by bolting the room from inside.2. However, as the main gate of the house had remained open, the accused persons rushed inside the house and broke open the door which had been bolted from inside. They entered the room where the complainant and his son P2 were hiding. P2 was dragged outside the room in the courtyard of the house where accused P4 is said to have given a bhala blow on his stomach. As a result of the blow, P2 fell down. Accused P3 gave a pharsa blow on the head of P2. The other accused persons also assaulted P2 with their weapons. The complainant tried to save his son but he was also assaulted by accused P7 and P5. While this was going on, the villagers accompanied by P9, P10, P11 and P12 came and intervened and saved the victims from further assault. However, P2 died on the spot. Police came in the village at about 1.00 p.m. when statement of the complainant P1 was recorded. On the basis of the said statement, an FIR was recorded and the seven accused persons were charge-sheeted and tried for the aforesaid offences. The sessions court by its judgment dated 19th June, 1992 while giving benefit of doubt to the accused persons and finding fault with the investigation acquitted all the accused persons. The State filed an appeal against the said judgment of the Sessions Court.

 As the plaintiff's representative, I am seeking cases where the plaintiff's right to life is violated, resulting in physical harm and ultimately death, and where the accused party's actions directly lead to the loss of life. It is crucial to emphasize the severity of the harm caused and the direct link between the accused party's actions and the fatal outcome, as evidenced by the detailed account of the events leading to the tragic death of the plaintiff's son in the case at hand.


Instruction:
The four appellants, along with P1 son of P2, were jointly tried in the court of Additional Sessions Judge on the following charges: "That you all accused nos. 1 to 5 on or about 12th day of November, 1967 at about 5-45 a.m. near XYZ Road, formed an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of such assembly viz. : to commit murder of complainant P3 or in order to cause murder of P3 or grievous hurts to him committed the offence of rioting and thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 147 of the Indian Penal Code and within the cognizance of this Court. That you all on the same date, time and place, were members of unlawful assembly, in prosecution of common object of which viz. : to commit murder of P3 or to cause grievous hurt to him, one or all you caused grievous hurts to him which offence you knew to be likely to be committed in prosecution of the common object of the said assembly. That you all on the same date, time and place attempted to cause murder of P3 Deshmukh, in furtherance of common intention and thereby committed an offence punishable." The order of the trial court convicting them all concludes thus: "All the five accused are convicted for the offence of rioting punishable and each is sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for the period of six months and to a fine of Rs. 501-, in default, rigorous imprisonment for two weeks for that offence. Accused shall surrender to their bail." 2. They all jointly appealed to the High Court by one memorandum of appeal. Learned judge admitted the appeal only on behalf of P1 and dismissed in limine the appeal on behalf of the four -appellants before us. The only point which concerns this Court in the present appeal by special leave relates to the correctness of the order dismissing in limine the appeal on behalf of the four appellants, when the appeal on behalf of P1, co-accused was admitted for hearing on the merits after notice to, the State.

Instruction:
The detenu P1, a French national, at the relevant time was employed as Airport Manager by A1 in L1. By an A1 flight, on September 20, 1981, he arrived at International Airport, L2 and passed through green channel indicating he had no dutiable goods to declare to the Customs Authorities. When he was at Exit Gate No. 1, the Intelligence Officer questioned him about the contents of two suitcases an other packages carried by him. The reply led to the inspection of the baggages which led to the recovery of watch parts weighing 4 1/2 Kgs, in 8 packages. 1. This led to a further enquiry, and evaluation of the watch parts led to the conclusion that the value was Rs. 3, 91, 200 CIF. Ultimately, the Government, on December 16, 1981, made an order of detention with a view to preventing an detenu from smuggling goods. On the same day, he was furnished grounds of detention which inter alia referred to the smuggling of the watch parts and two wrist-watches The detenu filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the High Court at L2. Before the High Court, three contentions were advanced on behalf of the detenu. They were "(1) It was a case of solitary incident, and prosecution was pending; (2) The detention order was mala fide having been served to prevent the Magistrate from passing an order on the application for leaving India; (3) All material documents relevant for subjective satisfaction were not considered and the order has been passed mechanically." The Division Bench of the High Court which heard the petition held on ground number 1 that even though this is the first time the detenu was found indulging in smuggling activities and a prosecution might have been launched yet taking into account all the relevant materials, satisfaction on likelihood of repetition of smuggling activities in future seem to be real. In respect of ground No. 2, the Court was of the opinion that even though the detention order was made on December 16, 1981, the day fixed for pronouncing order on the application of the detenu seeking permission to leave India, yet the file shows that the screening committee had taken the decision of recommending the detention of the detenu as well as those other persons connected with the different incidents so far back as on November 19, 1981 and the actual proposal recommending detention by Customs Authority was forwarded on November 25, 1981. 2. The counter-affidavit before the High Court disclosed that the detaining authority did not know that an application for permission to leave India was filed by the detenu and the decision of the Chief Judicial Magistrate was likely to be pronounced on December 16, 1981, the day on which the detention order was made. After taking note of this fact, the High Court rejected the contention. On the 3rd contention, the Court was of the opinion that there is nothing to show that there was no consideration of material documents and rejected the same. Ultimately, the High Court rejected the petition of the detenu The detenu filed a petition for special leave against the judgment of the High Court as also a writ petition for a writ of habeas corpus. It appears that the writ petition was filed with a view to urging some additional grounds which were not raised before the High Court and, frankly, speaking learned counsel for the detenu, did not press any of the contentions which were canvassed before the High Court, but urged three other contentions which the High Court was not invited to examine On behalf of the detenu, the learned counsel questioned the validity and legality of the detention order on the following three grounds :- The Detaining Authority viz. Secretary to the Government, L2 Home Department (Law and Order) did not consider the representation and thereby violated constitutional guarantee. Even if detenu is alleged to have made a confessional statement, the same was retracted before the detention order was made and yet there is nothing to show that the detaining authority took into consideration the fact that the confession was retracted and it is quite likely that the confessional statement itself may have influenced his mind and, therefore, the detention order is vitiated. Alternatively, it was contended that in any view of the matter, the fact that as the confessional statement was retracted by the detenu, the retraction ought to have been sent to the Advisory Board. It appears that by the continued detention, the detenu has suffered mental disorder as revealed by the report of Senior Psychiatrist. Dr. D1, Senior Psychiatrist of Central Mental Hospital, Yervada and in view of this report, continued detention of the detenu is likely to inflict irreparable harm and, therefore, also the detention on the ground of humanitarian consideration requires to be terminated.

 As the petitioner's legal representative, I am seeking cases involving preventive detention orders issued by District Magistrates based on threats to public order, particularly where the detainee was involved in a high-profile murder case that caused public fear and insecurity, such as the indiscriminate firing incident resulting in the murder of a doctor in a crowded area. Additionally, cases where the detainee's bail was revoked due to pending criminal charges and ongoing attempts to secure bail in multiple cases would be relevant for analysis.


Instruction:
P1 is before us being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the judgment and order dated 17.10.2005 passed by a Division Bench of the High Court. Appellant herein along with P2 (Accused No.1), P3 (Accused No. 3) and P4 (Accused No.4) were tried for committing the murder of one P5. P5 was an accused in a case of murder of the father of the appellant and accused No. 3. Allegedly, when cremation was taking place, the appellant took a vow to take revenge of murder of his father. P5 (deceased) on or about 13.02.1991 at about 11.00 a.m. was going to L1 on a motorcycle. He was accompanied by P6 (PW-4). When they were at distance of about 3 k.m. from P1, the accused persons who were in a Maruti van parked the vehicle by the side of road got down. The motorcycle was stopped by Accused Nos. 2, 3 and 4. P3 (Accused No. 3) is said to have caught hold P5 and P6 (Accused No.2) and P4 (Accused No. 4) inflicted stab injuries with knives. An attempt to rescue the deceased by PW-4 resulted in a threat to him, whereupon he started running towards Jalgaon. Bhaulal also tried to save himself by running away from the said place. He was chased by Accused Nos. 2 and 3 and was again assaulted with knives. PW-4 immediately went to the Taluka Police Station on a vehicle of a passer by. A First Information Report was lodged at about 11.45 a.m. P5 was taken to the hospital in a tractor. At about 12.45 p.m. he died. At the trial, the prosecution examined 17 witnesses. P6 (PW-4) and P7 (PW-5) were examined as eye- witnesses to the occurrence. We have noticed hereinbefore that PW-4 was the informant. PW-5 was the driver of the Maruti van, which was taken on hire by the accused persons. They had gone to L2 and L3. The learned Trial Judge upon considering the evidence brought on record convicted all the accused persons. The High Court by reason of the impugned judgment in the criminal appeal filed by the accused persons, however, set aside the conviction and sentence of Accused No.1. Accused Nos. 2, 3 and 4. Accused Nos. 2 and 3 were also convicted under Section 341 read with Section 34 IPC. Accused No. 2 was further convicted under Section 506 IPC. Indisputably, P1 preferred an appeal before this Court against the said judgment of conviction and sentence passed by the High Court.

Instruction:
The appellants are five in number and they have filed this appeal as of right. They were acquitted by the trial court but convicted by the High Court on appeal filed by the State, besides the offence of rioting. On the first count they were each sentenced to imprisonment for life besides fine and to lesser sentences for the lesser offence. The gist of the case against them is that all the five accused formed themselves into an unlawful assembly on the evening of 24-10-1985 and lay in ambush waiting for P1 (deceased) to come through the road and on seeing P1 they all launched an attack with weapons like gandasa, takua and ghope. The wife of P1 (P2, PW 10) who accompanied her husband made a bid to rescue her husband from the onslaughts of the assailants, but she too was attacked by them. P1 died at the spot. PW 10 (P2) furnished first information to the police on the same evening on the basis of which FIR was registered by the police. Subsequently all the five accused were arrested and on the strength of the information elicited from Ist accused P3 and third accused P4 weapons of offences were recovered from concealed places. The most important witness in this case is PW 10 (P2). The importance of her evidence is that no court can possibly hold that she would not have witnessed the occurrence, for she herself sustained as many as eight injuries, some of them serious, during the occurrence. The fact that she gave the police prompt information which has reached the Magistrate on the very same night adds further credence to her version. Added to that, she narrated the incident to PW 12 and PW 13 (a chowkidar) who reached the spot soon after the occurrence. The trial court did not place reliance on the evidence of PW 10 (P2) principally on the ground that her evidence did not agree with the testimony of PW 11 (JoP4). It must be pointed out that JoP4 was cited as an eyewitness and he turned hostile and the Public Prosecutor confronted him with his own previous statements and contradicted him. It is not safe to jettison the evidence of a witness like PW 10 (P2) as important as she is in the syndrome of the facts of this case, with the aid of a hostile witness's stance in the Court. Such a course adopted by the trial court had been rightly deprecated by the High Court. The defence version was that PW 10 would have possibly sustained those injuries at some other place and at some other time and not when she was accompanying her husband at the place of occurrence. Such a suggestion is too unconvincing and very far-fetched. No court can give any weight to such a theory. Even the defence admitted that PW 10 sustained so many injuries as described by PW 1 Dr D1 in his evidence. We are totally disinclined to countenance the contention that PW 10 would have absolved those who have attacked her and turned against the five accused falsely. Such a theory will not fit in with logic and common sense. But unfortunately that version was found acceptable to the trial court and therefore the High Court has rightly repelled it.

 As a plaintiff player, I am seeking cases involving criminal prosecution for serious offenses like rioting resulting in death, where key eyewitness testimony is crucial for conviction. Specifically, cases where the trial court unjustly discredited the primary witness, despite her sustaining serious injuries during the incident, and where the High Court correctly overturned such decisions based on the unreliability of hostile witnesses and unfounded defense theories.


Instruction:
The appellant P1 is convicted by the Additional Sessions Judge by judgment and order dated 5th/9th August, 1991 and was sentenced to death subject to confirmation by the High Court. Appellant appealed against the conviction and sentence which was partly allowed. The order with regard to the death penalty was set aside and appellant was sentenced to suffer imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.5,000/- in default thereof to undergo R.I. for 18 months. Against the said judgment and order this appeal is filed. The prosecution version as stated by P.W.1 is that he was a resident of Delhi and was dealer and manufacturer of Umbrellas; he has got two wives known as P2 and P3. His first wife P2 is residing at House No. 377 alongwith her three children, named, P4, P5 and P6 and her other three children have been residing with him at his House No.1584.

He was also having a house where his first wife was residing earlier before she shifted. There was dispute between him on the one hand and his wife P2 and her children on the other with regard to the house. The appellant-accused and his brother were insisting for the transfer of the said house in the name of their mother at the earliest. For transferring the said house in the name of his first wife, he went to Tis Hazari on 17th October, 1988 alongwith his son-in-law P10 and met his counsel who advised him to come on the next day. Hence, the said property could not be transferred in the name of his wife.

At that stage, his daughter P9 intervened and asked the appellant as to why he was stabbing P3. P7 stated that she was the root of all troubles so the appellant started stabbing P9 at her abdomen, neck and other parts of her body.

 As the defendant's counsel, I am seeking cases where the defendant's actions were influenced by a sudden provocation leading to a crime of passion resulting in unintended consequences, such as the defendant reacting impulsively to a family dispute, ultimately causing harm to others but without premeditation or prior criminal intent. The focus should be on cases where the defendant's remorse, lack of prior criminal history, and the circumstances surrounding the incident could potentially mitigate the severity of the charges and lead to a more favorable outcome in court.


Instruction:
facts of the matter, as is evident from the present Writ Petition challenging an order of detention dated 1st March, 2001 it appears that the petitioner is presently confined in Central Prison and it is this detention which the petitioner contended is without the authority of law and constitute an infringement of his guaranteed fundamental rights. The reason for detention has been and as recorded by the Department is that the Bill of Entry No.235337 dated 19.7.2000 was filed in the name of E Enterprises for clearance of 300 numbers of ACER CD ROM drive 50X by Customs House Agents, C1. According to the Department this Bill of Entry was filed in the name of E Enterprises but the latter expressly intimated the department stating that they did not place any order for import purposes. The department made an investigation and the goods were seized. The total CIF value according to the department was Rs.43,53,189/- and Rs.57,87,200/- was the market value. The petitioner appeared before the Customs Department on 24.7.2000 and the officers detained him and obtained the statements and was subsequently arrested on 25.7.2000 for an offence. The principal allegation against the petitioner/detenu being misdeclaration in the Bill of Entry. The petitioner/detenu however was remanded to judicial custody on 26.7.2000. Subsequently, the detenu was enlarged on bail by the learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate on 11.8.2000. The Department after the completion of investigation issued a show-cause notice.  Significantly, though the incident noticed above took place on 24.7.2000 and other important documents have come into existence immediately thereafter, the detaining authority did not pass the detention order immediately but only after a lapse of about seven months, i.e. on 1.3.2000. During this interregnum, however, the detenu admittedly did not indulge in any illegal activities and it is on this context P1, learned advocate appearing in support of the petition with his usual eloquence contended that the incident of 24th July, 2000 had become stale and irrelevant and it is too remote in point of time and as such question of there being any detention order on the basis thereof would not arise. P1 further contended upon reference to the fact situation as adverted herein before in this judgment that the detenu was arrested on 25.7.2000 for offences and was remanded to judicial custody on 26.7.2000. The detenu was however enlarged on bail by the learned Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (EO.III) on 11.8.2000 and the Department after completing the investigation issued the required show-cause notice on 19.9.2000. The factual score thus lends a substantial credence to the submissions of P1 as regards the charges being too stale to be taken recourse to in the matter of issuance of the order of detention on 1st March, 2001 more so, having regard to the admitted factum of non-involvement of the detenu in any illegal activity and thus consequently too remote as well in point of time to be the basis of an order of detention. It is in elaboration of his submissions P1 contended that once the show-cause notice has been issued, there cannot be any manner of doubt that the investigation is complete, but in the contextual facts the detaining authority has failed to apply its mind as regards the issue of unreasonable delay in passing the order of detention.

Instruction:
These appeals involve a pure question of law as to whether an award by which residue assets of a partnership firm are distributed amongst the partners on dissolution of the partnership firm requires registration. Briefly the facts are that a partnership firm was constituted comprising of four persons belonging to the same family. Disputes and differences arose between the partners which were ultimately referred to arbitration. The arbitrators made an award on 2nd October, 1972. The award was challenged by way of objections filed under by some of the partners. The objection petition was contested by the other partners who prayed that the award be made a rule of the Court. The grounds of challenge to the award included misconduct on the part of the arbitrators as well as another ground that the award required registration. The trial Court accepted both the objections holding that there was misconduct on the part of the arbitrators as also that the award was required to be compulsorily registered and since it was not registered it was inadmissible in evidence. This decision of the trial court was challenged before the High Court by way of a Civil Revision filed. The High Court found that in the facts and circumstances of the case it could not be said that there was any legal misconduct on the part of the arbitrators. Thus the first ground of attack against the award was found to be unsustainable. However, the High Court accepted the finding of the trial Court on the second ground, that is, the award was required to be compulsorily registered. Since the award was unregistered, it could not be made a rule of the Court. Hence the present appeals.

Instruction:
This appeal is preferred by the appellants against the judgment and order dated 31.08.2012 passed by the High Court whereby the High Court has allowed the appeal filed by the State and convicted all the appellants and sentenced them to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.10,000/- each. The brief facts of the case, as per the prosecution story, are that on 5.1.2001 at about 6:10 p.m. at  L1, the accused persons formed an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of such assembly, committed the murder of  P2.  P3, son of the deceased (PW-3) lodged an Ejahar about the incident at Police Station on 5.1.2001 at about 10:00 p.m. On receipt of the Ejahar, F.I.R. No.3 was registered by Police Station and started investigation. The police arrived at the place of occurrence and called the Executive Magistrate who prepared the inquest on the dead body and the inquest was sent for post-mortem examination to Civil Hospital. The police found one bag containing one dagger and two hand-made bombs lying near the dead body. After investigation, charge-sheet was submitted against the accused, the said charge-sheet was received by the Chief Judicial Magistrate by the Since Court the offence was of Sessions, the triable Chief Judicial Magistrate by his order dated 15.3.2002 committed the case to the Court of Sessions for trial. During the course of trial the prosecution examined 10 witnesses to bring home the charges levelled against the appellants. The defense adduced no evidence and took a plea of total denial. The Trial Court on a careful scrutiny of the evidence found that the statements of PW-4 & PW-5 were contradictory which created doubt as to the presence of these two witnesses at the place of occurrence. PW-1 deposed that about 6 months ago, when he was returning from the Pharmacy, he met P5 who said that his brother had been killed in the market, but he did not mention the name of any person. The incident took place in the market place where there were about 50 shops on both sides of the road. The Trial Court observed that if accused  P5 and  P6 appeared from the left and right, they must have come out of one of the shops on both sides of the road since PW-4 categorically stated that he had not seen the accused persons on the road while they were going towards the house of the deceased. But none of the shopkeepers, adjacent to the place of occurrence, came forward to depose that any occurrence as stated by PW-4 & PW-5 had taken place in front of their shops. PW-5 during cross-examination stated that he knew the names of two shopkeepers and they are P7 and P8. P8 (PW-2) did not state that the occurrence took place in front of his shop. PW-5 further stated during cross examination that the deceased was an accused in a murder case and had no explanation as to whether the deceased would move around having bombs and other weapons with him. The Trial Court drew the conclusion that the seized articles were belonging to the deceased persons. On analysis of the evidence the Trial Court decided that the evidence of PW-4 and PW-5 was full of contradictions on material particulars and as such the testimony of these witnesses did not inspire any confidence. Under the circumstances, the uncorroborated testimony of PW-4 and PW-5 by some independent eye witness could not be accepted to warrant the conviction of the accused persons. The High Court on the other hand overruled the decision of the Trial Court and convicted all the five accused and sentenced them to undergo rigorous imprisonment for life and to pay a fine of Rs.10,000/- each.

 As the plaintiff's representative, I am seeking cases involving criminal convictions being overturned on appeal due to lack of credible witness testimony and contradictory evidence, resulting in a favorable outcome for the accused individuals. Specifically, cases where the trial court's decision was based on unreliable witness statements and lack of corroborating evidence, leading to a successful appeal and acquittal of the accused parties despite initial conviction by the lower court.


Instruction:
This appeal by special leave is directed against the Judgment rendered by a High Court confirming the conviction of the appellant for the offences punishable. The High Court by the impugned judgment confirmed the judgment passed by the Principal Sessions Judge convicting the appellant and sentencing him to suffer imprisonment for life and rigorous imprisonment for seven years, respectively, and further to pay a fine of Rs.1,000/- each and in default, to suffer simple imprisonment for a period of six months each. In the nutshell, the prosecution version which led to the trial of the appellant is as under: On the intervening night of 7th/8th April, 2002 appellant went to the house of the deceased in a village with an intention to end the life of the deceased and knocked at the door of the deceased which was opened by the wife of the deceased,  P1 (PW-3) and the appellant-accused all of a sudden hacked and attempted to kill her by inflicting severe injuries on her body, as a result of which she fell down and then he rushed towards the deceased who was sleeping and hacked him by inflicting severe injuries. The appellant after committing the offence escaped from the place of occurrence by bolting the door from outside. The daughter of the deceased  P2 (PW-4) aged about 9 years raised hue and cry upon which the neighbours opened the door from outside and informed  P1 Gangaraju (PW1) who is a close relation of the deceased who thereafter informed Police Station and lodged first information report at about 4.00 a.m. on 8th April, 2002. A case was registered against unknown persons. The prosecution, in order to establish its case, examined altogether 14 witnesses. The trial court upon appreciation of the evidence found the appellant guilty and sentenced him to suffer imprisonment for life and rigorous imprisonment for a period of seven years, respectively. The trial court mainly relied upon the evidence of PW-3 and PW-4. The High Court vide its judgment dated 20th August, 2007 dismissed the criminal appeal filed by the appellant and accordingly confirmed the judgment of the trial court. The High Court too relied upon the evidence of PW-3 and PW-4. Both courts below found that the appellant attacked the deceased with sharp edged weapon resulting in his death. The courts below also found the appellant- accused attempted to kill PW-3 by inflicting severe injuries on her body.
