1. The appellant Rama stands convicted for an offence under sec. 25 of the Arms Act. In support of his appeal Cr. M. No.6025 of 1983 has been filed to put on record a judgment of the Sessions Judge, Kamal dated 10th January 1980 passed in Sessions Trial No.46 of 1982 (State V/s. Ramo and four others ). From the file of the said trial, the statement of one of the co-accused Satnam Singh made under sec. 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure on 4th January 1983 has also been filed. The aforesaid two documents are sought to be introduced as additional evidence. Having heard learned counsel on the subject, I am inclined to admit them on record as I feel that their availability and use would promote the cause of justice and with the aid thereof, the case in hand can be understood in its proper perspective and proceed to a logical conclusion.

2. The judgment afore-referred to may well be called as the main case. The appellant along with four other was arrested by a police party from a pit near the Yamuna river. All those persons were said to be variously armed. The appellant statedly at the time of his arrest was found to be armed with a D. B. B. L. gun of.) 2 bo
