Ram Chander vs Rex on 7 November, 1949
In Ram Sarup v. Emperor, 3 A. L. J. 833 : (3 Cr. L. J. 88), Bannerji J. was of the opinion that "there must be some overt act of concealment or attempt at concealment." There is no evidence in the present case of any special concealment which can be distinguished from the ordinary concealment. There is no evidence of any overt act. On the other hand, there is the clear statement of Sughar Singh himself that the appellant confessed, even before the hand-bag wag opened, that there was a pistol in it. When he himself confessed that there was a pistol, I do not know how it can be said that he kept it in the band-bag with the intention of concealing its presence there from a public or railway servant.
