This application has been moved to grant leave to file appeal
against the judgment and order dated 22.10.2018 passed by
Additional District and Session Judge, Court No. 9, Kanpur
Dehat in Session Trial No. 102 of 2014 arising out of Case
Crime No. 462 of 2011, under section 308, 323, 504, and 506
IPC, P.S. Akbarpur, District Kanpur Dehat (State Vs. Man
Singh and two others).
According to prosecution case on 24.6.2011 at about 6:00 P.M.
O.P. Nos. 2 to 4 and one Rohit assaulted informant Samarjeet
and his mother Ram Murti with kicks and fists, Lathi and
Danda. Initially the NCR was lodged under section 323, 504
IPC. Thereafter, the case was converted under section 308, 323,
504 and 506 IPC. The Investigating Officer after collecting
evidence submitted charge-sheet against O.P. Nos. 2 to 4. The
involvement of Rohit was found false. No charge-sheet was
submitted against him. The prosecution in its support has
examined P.W. 1 Ram Murti, P.W. 2 Samarjeet, P.W. 3 constable
Raj Bahadur, P.W. 4 Manjeet, P.W. 5 Dr. Narendra Singh, P.W. 6
constable Har Narayan, P.W. 7 Dr. Vinay Kumar, P.W. 8
Harnam Singh and P.W. 9 S.I. Girja Shanker Pandey. The
statements of accused persons were recorded U/s 313 Cr.P.C. in
which they denied the alleged incident and have stated that they
have falsely been implicated. The learned trial court after
considering the entire evidence available on record came to the
conclusion that the prosecution has failed to prove the charge
levelled against the accused persons. Consequently giving
benefit of doubt the trial court has acquitted the accused
persons/O.P. Nos. 2 to 4. Being aggrieved the informant has
preferred this appeal with application of leave to appeal.
From the perusal of judgment of trial court it is apparent that
P.W. 1 Ram Murti who is injured has clearly stated that Rohit
caused injury to her on her abdomen with brick. At the time of
medical examination only one injury has been found on the
person of injured Ram Murti. P.W. 5 Dr. Narendra Singh has
medically examined Smt. Ram Murti. This witness in his cross-
examination has clearly stated that there was no mark of injury.
The injured was conscious and she was talking. At the time of
medical examination no visible injury was found on the person
of injured. Injury no. 1 was complaint of pain and the injured
had made specific allegation against one Rohit for causing
injury to her with brick. No charge-sheet was submitted against
Rohit. His involvement has been found false. The learned trial
court has concluded that medical evidence does not corroborate
the prosecution version. He further concluded that the presence
of P.W. 2 at the place of occurrence is doubtful. It has further
been mentioned that Varsha and Veer Singh who are said to be
eye witnesses of the alleged incident, had not been examined by
the prosecution. The learned trial court after considering the
entire evidence available on record has found that the
prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond reasonable
doubt. Consequently, giving benefit of doubt the trial court has
acquitted the O.P. Nos. 2 to 4 namely Man Singh, Shiv Kumar
and Ram Autar.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not
find any illegality or irregularity in the impugned judgment
passed
