HR­46­8110 on the public way in a manner so rash and negligent so as to endanger human life or to be likely to cause injury to any other person and struck it against a rickshaw and thereby caused death of one Adrija not amounting to culpable homicide and also caused simple injuries on the person of Surajit and Suranjana.

2. Complaint was made and FIR was registered. IO conducted the investigation. After completion of investigation, the present chargesheet was filed for offences punishable under Section 279/304A/337 IPC. Cognizance of offence was taken and accused was summoned to face trial.

(i) PW­1 Suranjana was one of the injured. She deposed before the court that on 10.08.2001 she alongwith her brother Surujeet Kumar and cousin Adrija Chowdhary left their house at about 07:00 am for going to Uttam Nagar Terminal so as to catch their school bus in a rickshaw. When they reached near Mini bus terminal, a tempo bearing registration no. HR­46­8110 came from the back side and hit against their rickshaw, as a result of the impact their rickshaw turned turtle and all of them fell down. All of them sustained injuries on their person. Adrija sustained injuries on her head and became unconscious at the spot whereas PW­1 and her brother sustained minor injuries.

The said tempo which hit against their rickshaw was stopped by the general public at some distance from the place of incident and the driver of said tempo was brought down. They were taken to Mata Chanan Devi hospital by some public persons where they were medically examined. She further deposed that their rickshaw was on the extreme left side of the road whereas the other part of the road was empty at the time of accident. The tempo was being driven in a negligent manner as the same hit against their rickshaw from the back despite the fact that the road was vacant.

Their school bus generally reaches at Uttam Nagar bus terminal at 07:20 ­07:25 am. Their house FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 3 of 20 P.S.

She admitted that at the time of incident there was no central verge on that road. At that time, about 10­15 persons gathered at the spot. None of the persons from the general public offered water and medicines to anyone of them at the spot. They were taken to hospital by a TSR driver and one person from the general public came with them on his two wheeler scooter. She did not know the name of the TSR driver or its registration number. Police did not meet her in the hospital during her medical examination. The person who came from the spot to hospital with them informed her family after sometime after leaving them in the hospital. She could not tell the time when the TSR driver left the hospital. Her family members reached the hospital in about 30 minutes from the time of information. Her statement was recorded by the police but she did not remember exactly whether it was recorded on the same day or on the following day of the incident. Her statement was recorded at her house by the police. At the time of accident, she had seen the registration number of the offending vehicle, which she remembered and thereafter, she noted down on a piece of paper for future use. She had not given that piece of paper to the IO. The rickshaw puller had also sustained injuries but he did not come with them to the hospital. She denied the suggestion that rickshaw puller was beaten by the public. She denied the suggestion that accident took place because of the negligence of rickshaw puller. She denied the FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 4 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar suggestion that accident had not taken place because of negligence of the accused.

At that time, a rickshaw was coming from the side of Najafgarh and was going towards Uttam Nagar bus terminal in which three school children were sitting, a TATA 709 bearing registration no. HR­46­8110 came from the back side of the rickshaw being driven at a very fast speed and the driver of the said tempo hit the said rickshaw from back side with a great impact, as a result of impact, the rickshaw turned and the children fell down. He alongwith some other persons stopped the said tempo at some distance from the place of incident. One of the three children had sustained major injuries. He took telephone number from the other child and informed their family members and sent all the three children in a TSR to Mata Chanan Devi hospital. Family members of those children first came to the spot and when he told them that their children had been sent to Mata Chanan Devi hospital they left for the hospital. He proved his statement as Ex. PW2/A, seizure memo of tempo as Ex. PW2/B, seizure memo of rickshaw as Ex. PW2/C, personal search memo of accused as Ex. PW2/D, seizure memo of documents as Ex. PW2/E & FIR No.621/2001 State Vs.

He had picked the child who expired at the spot itself and kept her in a TSR and thereafter, he made a call at the house of those children after taking the number from the other children. He did not remember whether anyone from the general public accompanied those children to the hospital or not. However, police went with them to the hospital from the spot. Police reached at the spot after about 10­15 minutes of receipt of information. The rickshaw puller also received scratches injuries in the accident but he was not removed to the hospital. Police recorded his statement at 7 am at the PS. He admitted that sewer work was in progress at that time. Some soil spread out on the road and the road was dug up. He saw the tempo for the first time from the distance of 15­20 feet prior to the accident. He did not remember whether police had lifted the blood stained soil from the spot or not. His clothes were also stained with blood and the same were not taken into possession by the police. None gave beatings to the rickshaw puller in FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 6 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar his presence. He further stated that colour of the offending vehicle was light green and the front portion of the vehicle was painted red. He denied the suggestion that he had not witnessed that incident. He denied the suggestion that accident had taken place because of the negligence of rickshaw puller.

5. Thereafter, prosecution evidence was closed.

6. Statement of accused was recorded and all the incriminating evidence brought on record was put to the accused during which he submitted that he had been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submitted that he did not wish to lead evidence in defence.

7. During the arguments, it is argued by the accused that the FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 11 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar credibility of the witness PW­1 is doubtful as her statement was recorded at her house by the police and she does not even remember whether it was recorded on the same day or not. The witness had noted the number of the vehicle on a piece of paper but did not handover the same to the IO. The witness did not visit the spot with the police subsequently during the course of investigation.

It is further argued that the police did not record the statement of customers present at the shop of PW­2 or other passerby.

Also, at that time sewer work was in progress in the area, which fact is admitted by PW­2 and it was due to the dug up road and soil that the rickshaw turned and caused the death of a child. The police did not take the blood stained clothes of PW­2.

Even as per PW­3, he did not visit the spot again. It is argued that the rest are police witnesses and cannot by themselves prove the present case.

The accused has cited the following judgments in his support:

(I) Vinod Kumar Vs. State [2011 LawSuit (Del) 3032] ­ to say that no evidence was placed on record to show that speed of the vehicle or the manner in which it was being driven to show rashness and negligence, especially when the area was crowded therefore case does not fall within the purview of section 279/304 A IPC. (II) Abdul Subhan Vs. State [2006 LawSuit(Del)2105] - to argue 'high speed' is an expression which is relative and subjective, speed does not necessarily mean negligently. Where site plan is not FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 12 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar exhibited, there is no evidence of skid marks, no photographs of their location, the mechanical inspection is superficial and cursory in nature and the point of impact cannot be ascertained, the prevalent weather conditions are not taken into account then the court is unable to arrive at a conclusion as to whether collusion took place due to human rashness or negligence or mechanical failure beyond human control. (III) Ram Chander Vs. State [2017 LawSuit(Del) 5594] - to say that mechanical inspection of the vehicle does not show fresh damage, even no blood stains were found on the vehicle then case u/s 304A IPC is not proved. To bring home the offence us 304 A IPC, the prosecution requires to bring on record the basic requirement i.e. rash or negligent act. It must be found that collision was entirely or at least mainly due to the rashness or negligence on the part of the petitioner who was driving the vehicle.

8. The Ld. APP for the State on the other hand has argued that prosecution witnesses have supported the case of the prosecution and clearly deposed that a tempo came from behind and hit against one rickshaw. The identity of the vehicle or its driver is undisputed. The accused/driver was apprehended from the spot. As per mechanical inspection report, there is fresh damage on the front left side body and bumper is scratched. PW­5 was examined in this regard and whose inspection was not challenged. No suggestion with respect to fresh damage was put to him. In line with this observation Ex. PW2/C mentions that the rear right side wheel of the rickshaw was broken.

FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 13 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar The accused has suggested that rickshaw fell into the ditch as road was dug out but this defence was never reiterated in the statement of accused u/s 313 Cr.P.C. The defence is merely a sham and a clear case is made out against the accused. In fact this plea, has for the first time been brought at the stage of final arguments.

It is further argued by Ld. APP for the State that only two things that are needed to be proved for any case of an accident are (1) identification of the accused and (2) rash and negligent act. Both had been adequately proved by the prosecution. Ld. APP for the State has relied upon 2002 10 SCC 236 Mohan Singh v. Prem Singh; 2010 8 SCC 593 Parsavnath v. State of Karnataka; 2012 4 SCC 289 State of MP v. Brajendra Singh to argue that speed alone is not a criteria to reach to the conclusion about the rashness on the part of the driver of the offending vehicle and that driver should always keep the vehicle in a state of control to avoid dashing against vehicle/pedestrian. He has prayed for conviction of the accused.

9. After hearing the arguments and going through the record, I have come to the following observations:

The accused has been charged u/s 279/304A/337 IPC. As per Section 279 IPC, whoever drives any vehicle, or rides, on any public way in a manner so rash or negligent as to endanger human life, or to be likely to cause hurt or injury to any other person, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months, or with fine FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 14 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.
As per Section 304­A IPC, "whoever causes the death of any person by doing any rash or negligent act, not amounting to culpable homicide shall be punished with imprisonment of either of description for the term which may extend to two years or with fine or with both."
In order to prove Section 304­A IPC, two things need to be proved ­ (i) death is caused and (ii) death is caused due to rash and negligent act of the accused.
As per Section 337 IPC, whoever causes hurt to any person by doing any act so rashly or negligently as to endanger human life or personal safety of others shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to six months or with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both.
The main requirements to be proved are:
(a) hurt is caused;
(b) the act should be so rash and negligent that it endangers human life or personal safety of others.

10. In the present case, both the facts have been duly proved. The injuries upon the victims have also been duly proved.

11. The deposition of all the witnesses clearly and unambiguously state that the tempo was being driven in a negligent FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 15 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar manner as the same hit the rickshaw from behind despite the fact the road was vacant. It is categorically stated that when tempo hit the rickshaw it was stopped by the general public at some distance and driver of the said tempo was brought down. The witnesses identified the accused correctly. The other inconsistencies such as statement was recorded on the same day or not and whether blood stained clothes were collected from the spot or not is immaterial. Accident occurred, is itself not a disputed fact neither the death of child Adrija. The defence taken by accused that rashness and negligence is not proved is dealt with in judgments such as :­ It was the duty of accused while driving the offending vehicle to be careful about the public on the road, however, accused has failed to take such care. In this regard I would like to refer the judgment cited as AIR 1972 SC 685 wherein Hon'ble Supreme Court explains the criminal rashness in the following words:­ "Criminal rashness is hazarding a dangerous or wanton act with the knowledge that it is so, and that it may cause injury, but without intention to cause injury, or knowledge that it will probably be caused. The criminality lies in running the risk of doing such an act with recklessness or indifference as to the consequences. Criminal negligence is the gross and culpable neglect or failure to exercise that reasonable and proper care and precaution to guard against injury, either to the public generally or to an individual in particular, which, having regard to all the circumstances out of which the charge has arisen, it was the imperative duty of the accused person to have FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 16 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar adopted."

12. In 2004 CRI. L. J. 731, Paras Nath V. State of Delhi, Delhi High Court it has been held that ­ "Rashness or negligence can be determined from the manner in which the accident had taken place. The appellant also admitted in his statement under S. 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure that accident had taken place with his truck but denied that it was due to negligent and rash driving on his part."

13. The present case is also based on the principle of res ispa loquitor which means that negligence can be inferred from the very nature of the accident or injury in the absence of direct evidence on how any accident happened. It has been stated by the injured persons that while they were going on a rickshaw the tempo came from the back side and hit them from the back side. The mechanical inspection of the tempo and observation on Ex. PW2/C are quite obvious and corroborate the deposition of the witnesses. The facts of the case practically show that there was negligence on the part of the accused and nothing further remained to be proved.

14. Driver who is behind has to be cautious and careful of the traffic in front. It is also reasonable to say that the bigger the vehicle, the bigger its responsibility for the damage caused by it shall be bigger than that caused by lighter vehicles.

FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 17 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar

15. In Vadivelu Thevar v. The State of Madras (1957 SCR

981) the Hon'ble Supreme Court is Court had divided the nature of witnesses in three categories, namely, wholly reliable, wholly unreliable and lastly, neither wholly reliable nor wholly unreliable. The first two categories they pose little difficulty but in the case of the third category of witnesses, corroboration would be required. It is a sound and well­established rule of law that the court is concerned with the quality and not with the quantity of the evidence necessary for proving or disproving a fact. Generally speaking, oral testimony in this context may be classified into three categories, namely:

i) Wholly reliable.
ii) Wholly unreliable.
iii) Neither wholly reliable nor wholly unreliable.

16. In the first category of proof, the court should have no difficulty in coming to its conclusion either way ­ it may convict or may acquit on the testimony of a single witness, if it is found to be above reproach or suspicion of interestedness, incompetence or subornation. In the second category, the court equally has no difficulty in coming to its conclusion. It is in the third category of cases, that the court has to be circumspect and has to look for corroboration in material particulars by reliable testimony, direct or circumstantial. There is another danger in insisting on plurality of witnesses. Irrespective of the quality of the oral evidence of a single witness, if courts were to insist on plurality of witnesses in proof of any fact, they FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 18 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar will be indirectly encouraging subornation of witnesses.

17. The terminology of criminal negligence has been discussed by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of S.N. Hussain v. State of Andhra Pradesh, AIR 1972 SC 685 as under :

"Criminal negligence on the other hand, is the gross and culpable neglect or failure to exercise that reasonable and proper care and precaution to guard against injury either to the public generally or to an individual in particular, which, having regard to all the circumstance out of which the charge has arisen it was the imperative duty of the accused person to have adopted".

18. It has been further observed in S.N. Hussain (Supra) as under:

"Culpable negligence lies in the failure to exercise reasonable and proper care and the extent of its reasonableness will always depend upon the circumstances of each case".

19. Hence, in view of above discussion, I draw the inference that when the factum of rashness and negligence has been duly proved and the injuries are also not in dispute and further the identity of the accused is also established convincingly, the prosecution has been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt u/s 279/304A/337 IPC.

20. Accordingly, accused Dinesh Kumar Sharma stands FIR No.621/2001 State Vs. Dinesh Kumar Sharma Page No. 19 of 20 P.S. Uttam Nagar convicted u/s 279/304A/337 IPC.

17. Now to come up for arguments on sentence on 02.07.2019.
