                          JUDGMENT

                 This   is   the  charge sheet filed by  the  PSI   of Chandralayout   P.S.   against   the   accused   for   the offences punishable U/sec. 454, 457, 380 r/w 511 of IPC.

2. The brief facts of the prosecution case is that:

That the accused in between 21­03­2017 at about 1.00   p.m.,   to   23­03­2017   at   about   10.30   a.m.,   at House No.23, situated at 1st Cross, with an intention to steal   and   attempted   to   break   open   the   keys   of   the house with an iron rod which was belonging to CW1 and thereby committed the alleged offences.  

3. Accused was in JC. Substance of accusation was read   over   to   the   accused   for   the   offence   punishable U/sec.454,   457,   380   r/w   511   of   IPC.     The   accused pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried.      3 C.C.18854/2017

4. In   order   to   substantiate   the   allegation, prosecution has examined PW.1 to 4 and got marked the   documents   as   Ex.P1   and   P2   and   MO1.   Accused has been questioned u/sec. 313 of Cr.PC.  

5. Heard arguments from both the sides. 

6.   The   points   that   arise   for   determination   are   as follows: 

1. Whether the prosecution proves beyond all reasonable doubt that in between 21­03­2017 at   about   1.00   p.m.,   to   23­03­2017   at   about 10.30   a.m.,   at   house   No.23,   1st  Cross,   the accused   with   an   intention   to   steal   and attempted to break open the keys of the house with an iron rod which was belonging to CW1 and   thereby   committed   the   offences punishable   u/s   454,   457,   380   r/w   511   of IPC?
2. What order?
4 C.C.18854/2017

7.  The answer to the above points are as follows:

Point No.1: In the negative Point No.2: As per final order for the following: 
R E A S O N S

8.   Point No.1:­ In the present case on hand, in order to bring home the guilt of accused, the prosecution has examined   PW.1   to  4.   Among  them, PW1 who  is the complainant has become hostile and not identified the accused who has been produced through JC and not supported the case of the prosecution. 

9. In   the   present   case  on  hand,  since   no   valuable items have been thefted from the house of PW1. Under those circumstances, the provisions of Section 380 is not attracted, because as per the definition of Section 378   of   IPC   no   property   has   been   thefted   from   the house of PW1. 

5 C.C.18854/2017

10. In the present case on hand, the prosecution has further  exmined  PW2 to 4 who are the police official witnesses.   Except   the   PW1   and   evidence   of   police witnesses   the   remaining   independent   witnesses   i.e., CW2 to 6 and 8 & 9 have not been secured and they were came to be dropped has not secured. Further it is pertinent to note that as per the evidence of PW2 and 4 who are the IOs except the recovery of MO1 i.e., iron rod no property has been recovered from the accused with respect to this case.

11. Further   it   is   pertinent   to   note   that   as   per   the evidence of PW1 as per the say of his uncle he came to know that the accused has tried to theft his home. On perusal of entire evidence available on record there is nothing before this court to show that in between 21­ 03­2017   1.00   p.m.,   to   23­03­2017   the   accused   has thefted the house of PW1.

6 C.C.18854/2017

12. In the absence of such material witness this court cannot   hold   the   accused   liable   for   the   offence punishable u/s 380 of IPC as earlier discussed above. In   the   present   case   on   hand,   the   seizure   mahazar witness and spot mahazar witness are turned hostile and   not   supported   to   the   case   of   the   prosecution. Under   such   circumstances,   I   am   of   the   opinion   that the prosecution has miserably failed to prove the guilt of   the   accused   beyond   all   reasonable   doubt. Accordingly, I answer point no.1 in the negative.

13.  Point No.2:­  In the result, I proceed to pass the following:

ORDER Acting under Section 248 (1) of Cr.P.C., accused is hereby acquitted of the offences punishable U/sec. 454, 457, 380 r/w 511 of IPC.
Bail bonds of accused and his surety bond stands cancelled.
