He denied the suggestion that neither katta nor the knifes were recovered from the accused persons and case property was planted upon accused the accused persons or that the accused persons were lifted from nearby road. All the proceedings were conducted at Page 15/22 16 FIR NO:375/05; PS SEEMA PURI; U/S 399/402 IPC R/W SEC. 25 ARMS ACT ; STATE VS. RAJU & OTHERS the spot , his statement was recorded in the PS. Thereafter no PW was left to be examined therefore, prosecution evidence was closed and case was fixed for examination of accused u/s 313 Cr.P.C

7. During the course of examination of all the accused u/s 313 Cr.P.C they all converted all the allegations as alleged against them and submitted that they all were innocent and falsely implicated in this case. They did not desire to lead defence evidence, therefore, defence evidence is closed and case was fixed for final arguments.

8. I have heard the arguments on behalf of Ld. Counsel for both the parties.

9. Ld. Counsel on behalf of accused submitted that before convicting the accused under any penal law it is the duty of the prosecution to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and in the present case no incriminating corroborative evidence with regard to the involvement of the accused for the offence as alleged against them is brought on record.

Page 16/22 17 FIR NO:375/05; PS SEEMA PURI; U/S 399/402 IPC R/W SEC. 25 ARMS ACT ; STATE VS. RAJU & OTHERS

10. In support of his contention it is submitted that all the accused were apprehended only at the instance of secret informer and no person other than police official joined the investigation of this case and only on the basis of uncorroborated testimony of police witnesses it would not be in the interest of justice to convict the accused persons for the offence as alleged against them.

11. He further deposed that on perusal of the testimony of prosecution witnesses there are material contradictions brought on record during their examination in chief. PW1 who was the main witness in this case never turned for the purpose of cross examination despite opportunity given to him, therefore, his testimony cannot be read in corroboration of testimony of other PW's. It is further pleaded that despite of the fact that information received through secret informer with regard to the fact that five/six persons were sitting in a park and were making plan to commit dacoity, police officials has not taken care to follow the provisions of section 100 Cr.P.C . The countrymade katta allegedly recovered from one of the co-accused and buttondar knives which were recovered from other accused are of same kind Page 17/22 18 FIR NO:375/05; PS SEEMA PURI; U/S 399/402 IPC R/W SEC. 25 ARMS ACT ; STATE VS. RAJU & OTHERS which the police officials used to plant in other such nature of cases. It is further pleaded that neither the statement of any person from SRS Properties Builders Pocket Q, Dilshad Garden where the accused persons were making plan to commit dacoity has been recorded nor he has been made a witness. Counsel for accused further pleaded that factum of registration of the case vide FIR no. 375/05 for the offence as alleged against the accused is also not proved as despite repeated opportunities given to ASI Badlu Singh, he is not examined and his non examination is fatal to the prosecution as investigation is initiated only after registration of the case which is not proved and in the absence of any public witness and the corroborative evidence of the police official it is established that prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and requested for their acquittal.

12. On the contrary Ld. Addl. PP for state submitted that there is no reason to disbelieve the testimony of the police officials if the same is corroborated with each other and the testimony of police officials should also be consider in the same manner as of reasonable prudent person, therefore, on perusal of testimony of PW prosecution succeeded in brought on record Page 18/22 19 FIR NO:375/05; PS SEEMA PURI; U/S 399/402 IPC R/W SEC. 25 ARMS ACT ; STATE VS. RAJU & OTHERS sufficient corroborative evidence to convict the accused persons for the offence as alleged against him. In support of his contention he submitted that PW1 could not be cross examined despite opportunity given to him shall not prove fatal to the prosecution as the role which was attributed to PW1 has already been proved by way of corroborative evidence by PW2, PW3 and PW4 and other police officials. The factum of registration of the case is proved by PW1. Admittedly he has not been cross examined but his testimony is further corroborated by initial IO ASI Sahid Khan and ASI Rakesh Kumar. Factum of depositing the case property in the Malkhana and thereafter sending to CFSL for its examination is proved by IO ASI Rakesh Kumar, HC Rambir who specifically deposed that he deposited the case property in the office of CFSL and in view of the aforesaid corroborated testimony of the witnesses it cannot be said that prosecution failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and requested for conviction of all the accused.

13. After hearing arguments on behalf of ld. Counsel for both the parties I carefully perused the testimony of all the PW's wherein it is established that PW1 is the main witness in this case who failed to appear Page 19/22 20 FIR NO:375/05; PS SEEMA PURI; U/S 399/402 IPC R/W SEC. 25 ARMS ACT ; STATE VS. RAJU & OTHERS before the court for the purpose of cross examination despite having been given sufficient opportunities. Factum of taking rukka to PS for the purpose of registration of the case is also not proved as cross examination of PW1 Ct. Rohtash could not be concluded. Other police officials who were the member of raiding party have also failed to brought on record the corroborative evidence with regard to the facts as alleged in the present case. In view of the aforesaid established facts and taking into consideration the evidence adduced by the prosecution coupled with the fact that no public witnesses had joined during the course of investigation and search was also conducted as per provisions of section 104 of Cr.P.C I am of the considered view that all the accused persons have become entitled to be given them benefit of doubt.

14. Accordingly, benefit of doubt be given to both the accused namely Babloo and Umesh. Both accused namely Babloo and Umesh are acquitted for the offence as alleged against them u/s 399/402 IPC r/w section 25 of Arms Act.
