PW4   HC   Rajbir   and   PW5   Ct.   Sandeep   have deposed in line with the statement of PW36.

  PW28 HC Deepak Kumar has deposed about the entries recorded in the log book. Copy of relevant page of the log book is Ex PW28/A.  In view of the entries available in the log book, there is no merit in the contention raised by learned counsel for Validad and Mukesh that prosecution has not proved on record log book entries regarding this vehicle. 

The   record   regarding   movement   of   the   said vehicle   lends   corroboration   to   the   case   of   prosecution narrated by the abovesaid PWs. 

In   the   course   of   arguments,   learned   defence counsel   has   not   pointed   out   any   contradiction   or discrepancy in the statements of the witnesses on the point of recovery from Mukesh and Validad accused.   

30. Learned defence counsel for Mukesh accused has pointed out that prosecution failed to bring on record any entry   in   the   log   book   of   vehicle   no.  DL   1CJ   3566  which creates   doubt   if   any   such   party   was   led   to   the   house   of Mukesh or if any such recovery was made from there.   

It   is   true   that   prosecution   has   not   proved   on record   any   log   book   of   vehicle   no.    DL   1CJ   3566.     But prosecution has fully proved about departing of the party headed  by  SI  Rakesh  Kumar  for the  house  of  Mukesh  by govt.   vehicle   no.   DL   1CJ   3566   by   way   of   DD   No.   19   Ex PW37/C,   recorded   by   SI   Rakesh   Kumar   on   17.03.2013. Had   this   entry   not   been   containing   the   number   of   the vehicle, then the things would have been otherwise.  But in view of this documentary evidence, court does not find any ground   to   disbelieve   the   testimony   PWs   regarding   use   of this vehicle in reaching the house of Mukesh accused.
