Words and Phrases - "Fact discovered" - Meaning of.PW1 used to work with the deceased in his shop. According to the prosecution, on the fateful night when PW1 and the deceased were returning home after closing shop, the four accused persons approached them and demanded the cash bag being carried by the deceased. The threat was followed by firing of bullet at the deceased on his chest from close range. The assailants thereafter fled on a motorcycle which had been stolen hours earlier from a parking area. The Trial Court primarily relying upon the evidence of PW1 and two other witnesses convicted all the four accused under ss.396, 506, 341, 379 r/w. s.120-B, IPC. High Court upheld the conviction of Appellant-accused and one co-accused while acquitting the remaining two accused. In appeal to this Court the conviction of Appellant was challenged on various grounds viz. (1) that identification of the accused through a test identification parade had no legal value; (2) that the so called confession had no evidentiary value since it was extracted under duress and also because discovery in terms of Section 27 of the Evidence Act had been made from an open space. It was further contended that PW1 was related to the deceased and hence his evidence should be rejected. |
