It is the case of the prosecution that from 2.08.2020 the accused Nos.1 and 2 were residing with Jaihind Yadav (deceased) at Sheet House No.7, Shankarappa Layout, Sarjapura, Anekal Taluk. All the 3 were working in the same place. The deceased and accused persons had a fight as the deceased had asked the accused persons to move out of the rented premises. Thereafter on 3.08.2020 between 8-00 and 9-00 p.m., in the presence of C.W.8-Vijay Kumar, the deceased and accused had a fight and at 9-00 p.m., after C.W.8 went away.

When the Jaihind Yadav collapsed on the floor, then the accused No.2 punched on his face and at 11-00 p.m., the accused persons committed the murder of Jaihind Yadav.

Thereafter in the mid night at 1-30 a.m., with a common intention to destroy the evidence and hide the dead body, they carried the dead body to Rayasandra Lake situated at a 4 S.C.No.884/2020 distance of 500 mtrs., from their house. Then they tied a stone to the waist of the dead body with the jeans pant of the deceased and threw the dead body into the lake. Thereby the accused Nos.1 and 2 are alleged to have committed the offences punishable under Sections 302 and 201 r/w. Section 34 of IPC.

4. On securing the presence of the accused Nos.1 and 2, my learned predecessor has framed the charge against them for the offences punishable under Sections 302 and 201 r/w. Section 34 of IPC. The accused Nos.1 and 2 have pleaded not guilty and claimed to be tried. Thereafter, the prosecution in support of its case examined 12 witnesses from P.Ws.1 to 12 and got marked 36 documents from Exs.P.1 to 36 and M.Os.1 to 10.

On the same day he recorded the statement of witnesses (C.Ws.10 to

15). He gave a requisition (Ex.P.32) to the FSL to visit the spot and conduct the examination. On 14.09.2020 C.W.17 along with P.M.Report (Ex.P.33) brought the clothes of the deceased person and 10 articles. The said articles were mentioned in P.F.No.94/2020 (Ex.P.34) and forwarded it to the court. He has identified M.Os.1 to 5. On 14.09.2021 as the Doctor had given the sternal, so in the presence of panchas (C.Ws.18 and 19 and C.W.1) they collected the water of the lake in a bottle by conducting mahazar (Ex.P.30). The water bottle was mentioned in P.F.No.94A/2020 (Ex.P.35) and forwarded the same to the court. He has 18 S.C.No.884/2020 identified 2 ltrs., of water bottle (M.O.10). On the same day he recorded the statements of C.Ws.18 and 19. For further investigation he handed over the case file to C W.22.

In his cross examination by the learned advocate for the accused, he admitted that when C.W.1 gave the complaint he was not knowing about the death. He admitted that only after receiving the complaint he came to know about securing the dead body. He has denied the suggestion that even before him C.W.1 had seen the dead body and had lodged the complaint. It is elicited that there are no eye witnesses to the alleged incident. It is elicited that he has not verified with C.W.1 as to why he did not lodge the complaint on 30.08.2020 though the deceased had went missing on that day. He has denied the suggestion that C.W.1 did not lodge the the complaint (Ex.P.22). He has denied the suggestion that he has created the complaint as per his convenience. It is stated that there are no eye witnesses to the incident. It is elicited that he had not secured the dog squad for the inspection. He has denied the suggestion that he has created the mahazars in the Police Station. He has denied the suggestion that the accused were not arrested, but they were called to the Police Station for enquiry 19 S.C.No.884/2020 and were arrested on false grounds. He has denied the suggestion that M.O.6-Rod has been created for this case. It is elicited that he has not furnished the gunny bag which is said to have been used by the accused to carry the dead body. He has denied the suggestion that the voluntary statements of the accused were created by him. He has denied the suggestion that even though he has not conducted any investigation, he has created all the documents and property in the Police Station and he is deposing falsely against the accused persons.

21. P.W.12-Sri.Sandeep.S. Police Inspector has stated that on 14.09.2020 he received the case file from C.W.21. On 16.10.2020 he sent the property to the FSL and received the acknowledgment (Ex.P.36). He filed the charge sheet awaiting the FSL Report. On 3.09.2020 he received the FSL Reports (Exs.P.9 and 10).

In his cross examination by the learned advocate for the accused, he has denied the suggestion that he has filed a false charge sheet against the accused.

22. On considering the oral and documentary evidence placed before the court, it is at first 20 S.C.No.884/2020 necessary to note that there are no eye witnesses to the alleged incident. Also it is pertinent to note that the complainant who is said to be the brother of deceased has not been examined before the court, as he has died before commencement of trial. Further the prosecution has examined P.Ws.1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10 as mahazar witnesses, but they have not supported the prosecution case. Also it is pertinent to note that the evidence of P.Ws.1 and 3 has been discarded as these witnesses have not subjected themselves for further examination in chief. It is also pertinent to note that it is alleged by the prosecution that the accused and deceased were residing in the same house, but to prove the same, the prosecution has not made any efforts to examine any of the neighbours or the landlord to corroborate the contention taken by the prosecution.

23. It is further alleged that the FSL Team had collected the samples from the house where the accused had committed the murder of deceased. In this regard it is pertinent to refer to the FSL Report (Ex.P.10). In the said report under the result of examination, it says that the human blood of 'O' group was traced. But there is no corroborating 21 S.C.No.884/2020 evidence placed before the court to establish that the blood group of the deceased was 'O' group. The Investigating Officer has chosen not to compare the DNA of C.W.1 (brother of the deceased) with the articles found in the room so as to enable this court to come to a conclusion that the blood samples founds in the house of the accused belongs to the deceased.

24. It is further case of the prosecution that the dead body was taken out from Rayasandra Lake and the stone was tied to the waist of the dead body. The court finds no reason to disbelieve the evidence of the police in this regard. Also the P.M.Report corroborate that the dead body was in the water and also has mentioned about the stone. When that being so, the question before the court as to whether the prosecution has placed convincing material before the court to establish that the accused had committed the murder and thrown the body to the lake. The last seen person C.W.8 has not been examined. As discussed supra, there is no convincing, corroborating and cogent evidence placed before the court to establish the guilt of the accused Nos.1 and 2. Hence it can be safely said that the prosecution has failed to prove 22 S.C.No.884/2020 beyond all reasonable doubt that the accused Nos.1 and 2 have committed the offences punishable under Sections 302 and 201 r/w. Section 34 of IPC. Accordingly, the Point Nos.1 and 2 are answered in the Negative.

25. POINT No.3: In view of my findings on Point Nos.1 and 2 as above, I proceed to pass the following :

ORDER Acting under Section 235(1) of Cr.P.C. accused Nos.1 and 2 are acquitted for the offences punishable under Sections 302 and 201 r/w. Section 34 of IPC.
The bail bonds and surety bonds of the accused Nos.1 and 2 stand cancelled, subject to appeal.
M.Os.1 to 10 being worthless, are ordered to be destroyed after the appeal period.
