2. The case of prosecution, in brief, is that complainant Devkunwar Sauta lodged FIR at the Belgahna Police Station to the effect that her husband was murdered by his brother-in-law (the appellant herein). She has stated in the report that she and her husband, deceased Ramkumar Sauta, along with their children, had come to the house of her brother Kunvarelal Souta (appellant) 15 days before the incident and were staying there and looking for livelihood. Deceased Ramkumar happens to be brother-in-law of accused Kunvarelal Sauta. In the night of 08.10.2019, a dance program was being held in village Khondri. Accused Kunwarelal Sauta told deceased Ramkumar that he was going to see the dance and asked him to take care of the house and went to see the dance with his family. After the accused left, deceased Ramkumar killed the chicken reared by accused Kunwarelal and got it cooked by his wife and ate it. Thereafter, deceased Ramkumar also went to Khondri to see the dance. On the second day of the incident, on 09.10.2019, in the morning, when the accused Kunwarlal came back after watching the dance, he came to know that the deceased Ramkumar had eaten his chicken and had gone to watch the dance. After the deceased returned from watching the dance, a dispute started between them in which the accused Kunwarlal hit the deceased Ramkumar on the back of his head with stick, due to which, deceased Ramkumar fell on the ground and died. Seeing the deceased Ramkumar dead, the appellant ran towards the forest. After completing the investigation and on complying with other procedural requirements, the charge sheet was filed.
