and police came at the spot within 45 minutes, whereas, PW5 has
deposed that 5/6 workers were working in the factory; that they used to

prepared by IO at the instance of complainant though the site plan does
not bear his signature. In my view, above mentioned minor
discrepancies do not have bearing on the decision of the case on merit
particularly when the eye witnesses PW1, PW5 and other official
witnesses have supported the prosecution case on all material aspects.
