He further stated that he has been falsely implicated by complainant Ajay Verma as he belongs to Congress Political party and he belongs to the rival party i.e. Aam Aadmi party worker and due to this reason, he has been falsely implicated in the present case.

ARGUMENTS:

15. Final arguments heard from Ld. APP for the State and from Ld. Counsel for accused Sh. Prem Chandra. During final arguments, Ld. APP argued that testimonies of the material witness are reliable for conviction of the accused in this case. The Ld. Counsel for the accused, on the other hand, argued that material contradictions have appeared in the testimonies of the PWs, complainant did not support the case of prosecution and prosecution has not been able to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. Hence, benefit of doubt must be given to the accused.

FINDINGS AND REASONS THEREOF:-

16. Accused has been indicted u/s 384 IPC which provides punishment for the offence of extortion. Section 383 IPC defines 'extortion' as follows:
"Whoever intentionally puts any person in fear of any injury to that person, or to any other, and thereby dishonestly induces the person so put in fear to deliver to any person any property or valuable security, SACHIN FIR No. 774/2015 State Vs. Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh page 13 of 20 Digitally signed by SACHIN Date: 2025.12.03 18:13:42 +0530 or anything signed or sealed which may be converted into a valuable security commits extortion."

17. A plain reading of above definition of extortion under Section 383 IPC discloses the following essential ingredients:

(i) accused intentionally put the victim to fear of injury to his/her person or to any other person;
(ii) thereby accused dishonestly induces a person put to fear;
(iii)deliver to person any property/valuable security.

18. Given the facts of the case, the prosecution was required to prove the incident(s) of extortion by establishing the above mentioned ingredients beyond reasonable doubts through direct evidence.

19. The defence of the accused is that he has been falsely implicated on account of political rivalry. In his examination under section 313, CrPC accused took the defence that complainant had filed the present case at the behest of Ajay Verma who was a member of Congress party and the accused being a member of Aam Aadmi party has been falsely implicated in the present case.

20. In order to prove its case, the prosecution has primarily relied upon the testimony of the complainant himself. Being the complainant and the only eye witness of the incident, he is the star SACHIN FIR No. 774/2015 State Vs. Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh page 14 of 20 Digitally signed by SACHIN Date: 2025.12.03 18:13:55 +0530 witness of the prosecution. In order to convict the accused, it has to be seen from the testimony of PW1 whether allegations of extortion have been established beyond reasonable doubts or not. The testimony of PW1 shows that he did not support the case of the prosecution in toto. PW1 though deposed about demand of money, he failed to identify the accused as the perpetrator of the crime and as the person who made demands of money from him. During his cross examination by Ld APP, he stated that after the registration of the case, his statement was not recorded by any Magistrate. He further contradicted himself by saying that his statement Ex.PW1/F, recorded U/s 164 Cr.PC was made by him but the same was not recorded by the Magistrate. Accused Deepak Sharma was specifically pointed out to the witness but witness states that he could not identify accused Deepak Sharma present in court on that day, due to lapse of time. PW1 further stated in his cross examination that he had made the complaint Ex.PW1/A to the police only because other ration shop owners had made the complaint and his shop owner i.e PW4 told him to complaint, whereas PW4 during his cross examination stated that PW1 did not told informed him regarding demand of money by accused and he has no knowledge about present case . PW1 further stated that he had signed the complaint on the asking of Ajay Verma. He further stated that Ex.PW1/B and Ex.PW1/E were all blank when his signature were obtained on the same.

21. PW2 is the Duty Officer of the case who has only proved the registration of FIR and the endorsement on the rukka. His testimony does not prove the incident in question.

22. PW3 is HC Jeet Pal, who handed over the FIR and original rukka to IO ASI Yashpal and joined the investigation with ASI Yashpal. He is not an eyewitness to the incident.

23. The prosecution has examined the owner of the PDS shop, Sh. Madan Lal as PW4. However, the testimony of PW4 clearly shows that he did not support the case of the prosecution against the accused. It is evident from his testimony that he did not depose anything in support of the allegations of the complainant. He only deposed that he is not aware about present case and his servant/ PW1 did not informed him.

24. PW5 is SI Arun Kumar, who had concluded the investigation and filed the challan before the court.

25. PW6 SI Yashpal is the IO of the case, who conducted the investigation and proved the relevant documents.

26. PW7 Anindita Dey produced the record regarding ownership of fair price shop no. 6519, Gharoli Dairy Farm Ghazipur. SACHIN Digitally signed by SACHIN FIR No. 774/2015 State Vs. Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh page 16 of 20 Date: 2025.12.03 18:16:15 +0530

27. Thus it is now clear that in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the present case, the case of the prosecution primarily rests upon the testimony of PW 1. The perusal of the testimony of PW1 shows that he did not support the case of the prosecution entirely. It can be easily culled out from the statement of PW1 that a person a namely Deepak Sharma used to come to his shop for demanding monthly payment but he refused to pay. He also stated that he gave money of Rs 2000/- on one occasion to a person who came to his shop. He however failed to identify the accused in the court. He was declared hostile by the prosecution and leading question were then put to the witness. It is trite that identification of the accused is the core issue for establishing the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt. Once the identity of the accused is not established in the court qua the offence charged against the accused, it is difficult to fasten the accused with the culpability of the crime alleged against him.

28. It is also pertinent to note that under Indian law, the evidence of hostile witnesses not discarded completely. The legal maxim, "false in uno false in ombnibus" is not applicable in India. With respect to the evidentiary value of hostile witness, it was observed by the Apex Court in the case of Rohtash Kumar vs. State of SACHIN FIR No. 774/2015 State Vs. Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh page 17 of 20 Digitally signed by SACHIN Date: 2025.12.03 18:14:06 +0530 Haryana (2013) 14 SCC 434, as under: -

"25. It is a settled legal proposition that evidence of a prosecution witness cannot be rejected in toto, merely because the prosecution chose to treat him as hostile and cross examined him. The evidence of such witnesses cannot be treated as effaced, or washed off the record altogether. The same can be accepted to the extent that their version is found to be dependable, upon a careful scrutiny thereof."

29. Therefore, it has to be seen if the evidence of such hostile witness can be relied in part. The pith and substance of the testimony of star witness is that his evidentiary value is reduced to nothing. Complainant has completely let go off the accused, arrayed before the court as the perpetrator of the crime alleged, as the person who had extorted money from him. Thus, he has completely exonerated the accused. Resultantly, the testimony of star witness is not at all worthy of any credence and cannot be believed in order to lend credence to the fact that the accused has committed offence of extortion. The witness deposed that he cannot identify the accused Deepak Sharma. After the permission from the court, leading question was put to the witness by the prosecution for the identification of accused as the perpetrator of the crime, the witness could not identify the accused Deepak Sharma.

30. It is a settled proposition of law that prosecution is SACHIN FIR No. 774/2015 State Vs. Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh page 18 of 20 Digitally signed by SACHIN Date: 2025.12.03 18:14:11 +0530 supposed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubts by leading reliable, cogent and convincing evidence. In order to prove its case, prosecution is supposed to stand on its own legs and it cannot derive any benefit whatsoever from the weaknesses, if any, in the defence of the accused. The burden of proof of the version of the prosecution in a criminal trial throughout the trial is on the prosecution and it never shifts upon the accused. The accused is entitled to the benefit of every reasonable doubt in the prosecution story and such doubt entitles the accused to acquittal.

31. In the instant case, the material/star witness of the case has not supported the case of the prosecution. There is not even an iota of evidence against the accused therefore, the very foundation on which the entire prosecution case rests has been demolished by the star witness Ram Bhajan Goyal. When the star witness has not implicated the accused with the offence, no guilt whatsoever can be fastened upon him. No incriminating evidence has come on record even otherwise to connect the accused with the crime.

32. Thus, the identity of the accused could not be established beyond reasonable doubt. The constitutional presumption of innocence guaranteed to every individual is of primary importance, and the conviction of the accused must rest not on the weakness of the SACHIN defence he put up but on the strength of the evidence for the Digitally signed by SACHIN Date: 2025.12.03 FIR No. 774/2015 State Vs. Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh page 19 of 20 18:16:31 +0530 prosecution. In the absence of proof beyond reasonable doubt of the identity of the culprit, the entire case of the prosecution crumbles down. The prosecution has completely failed to bring home the charge under section 384 IPC against the accused Deepak.

33. Accordingly, accused Deepak Sharma @ Dinesh, S/o Bhupender Nath is acquitted in the present case. Accused to furnish bail bonds in compliance of Section 437-A Cr.PC.

                                                                 Digitally
