Puran Singh vs The State Of Jharkhand on 10 April, 2018
20. Learned counsel has further submitted that the prosecution case brought
by Basudeo Rai never speaks or discloses about the injury sustained by
Jagarnath Singh, Puran Singh and Babulal Singh and in view of the judgment in
the case of Subramanyam and Ors. Vs. State of Tamil Nadu, as reported in
2002 (7) SCC 210 leads to failure on the part of the prosecution to explain injury
on accused even though injuries were simple in nature and does not leave the
prosecution of its obligation, the Court can draw interference that the
prosecution has not brought the true version of the occurrence. In such
background, the benefit of doubt be given to the accused/appellants as the case
8
is of the year 1995 and they have faced rigour of trial for more than 22 years
with respect to land dispute.
