Headnote | CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, 1973:Appeal against acquittal - Scope of - Held: While upsetting the judgement of acquittal, the appellate court must show the perversity in the judgement of the trail court. Appellate court also must record the finding that the view taken by the trial court was not possible in law at all - In the instant case, the judgement of the appellate court very clearly recorded a finding that the acquittal recorded by the trial court was based on flimsy grounds and was wholly unjustified - High Court has given very good reasons to set aside the findings arrived at by the trial court - Penal Code, 1860 - s. 302/34.PENAL CODE, 1860:s. 302/34 - Murder - An eleven year old boy beaten and hanged to death by three accused - Acquittal by trial court - Conviction by High Court - Held: The evidence of eye-witnesses clearly established that the boy was beaten by three accused in public gaze - Thereafter the accused dragged the boy inside the room and when they opened the door and fled away, the boy was found hanged and dead - Medical evidence established that death was homicidal - It is clear that all the three accused had taken part in beating the victim and they all dragged him into the room and closed the door- It was for the accused to explain as to how the victim died - It is very clear that all the three accused had acted with common intention of causing the death - High Court rightly convicted and sentenced them to imprisonment for life u/s 302 with the aid of s. 34 - The reasons given by trial court for acquittal are wholly unacceptable and can safely be called perverse - High Court having noted the defects in the judgement of the trial court and its casual approach, was justified in reversing the acquittal - Code of Criminal Procedures, 1973. |
