Ghentu Mondal And Ors. And Baidya Nath ... vs The State Of West Bengal on 2 May, 2006
21. The other injured person namely P.W.8 Santu Mondal never claimed during investigation that the appellant Probir assaulted him with a 'Kirich'. What he stated earlier was that Probir dealt a blow by means of a 'Dao'. Giving a new twist and turns to the entire incident, another version of the incident was sought to be projected during the trial. Mr. Dastoor contends that in view of another version of the incident coming up before the Court, absolute reliance should not have been placed on the distorted statements made during the trial. Referring to the case of Namdeo Daulata Dhayagude and Anr. v. State of Maharashtra it is contendent that when contradictions not on mere matters of detail, but on vital points, it would not be safe to rely on the evidence.
