Versus
Smt. Tamu and Ors. - Respondent
S.B. Criminal Appeal No. 288 of 1985.
Decided On : 28-03-2001

Advocates:
For the Petitioner: O.P. Singhariya, Public Prosecutor.

Headnote:

Criminal Procedure Code, 1973, Section 378 - The High court in an appeal against order of acquittal found that lower court had properly examined the evidence and gave adequate reason for acquittal- No reason to interfere- therefore the appeal was not allowed.

JUDGMENT

1. - This is an appeal filed by the State of Rajasthan against the order of acquittal recorded by the learned trial Judge.

2. With the assistance of the learned Public Prosecutor and the learned Counsel for the accused. I have scrutinised the records of the case and have carefully reappreciated the oral and documentary evidence on record.

3. On re-scrutiny of the record, the impugned judgment in the light of reappreciated evidence discloses that the learned Judge was right in acquitting the accused. The learned Judge has properly appreciated the evidence on record and he has given adequate reasons of coming to the conclusion that the accused are required to be acquitted.

4. The principles regarding interference by the appellate court in the matter of acquittal are well settled for last several years and require no reinstatement. I on my part have also taken similar view in consistence of direction of the Supreme Court that where ever the order of acquittal is supported by evidence on record and the conclusion of the acquittal are not perverse on appreciation of the evidence as it stands no interference is called for.

5. In view of the principles stated by me at length in the reported judgments of 1998(2) RLW 1301, 1998 WLC (UC) 598 and 1998(1) RCD 432, I see no reason to interfere with this appeal and the same, therefore, fails and it dismissed.Appeal Dismissed.
