State vs Rajni on 12 September, 2025

17. It is not the case of the prosecution that no public person was present at or near the spot of arrest and recovery. Further, PW-3 had stated in his examination in chief that he requested the public persons to join the investigation however, they refused to join the investigation. He further added that due to paucity of time, no FIR No. 172/2021 PS Nand Nagri titled as State v. Rajni 6/9 Digitally signed by DEEPAKSHI DEEPAKSHI RANA RANA Date: 2025.09.12 04:15:11 +0530 notice was given to the said persons. Further, there is nothing on record to show that the police officials had tried to serve any notice under Section 160 Cr. PC. upon the persons who refused to join the investigation or had taken any pains to join them in inquiry. Thus, the prosecution has failed to prove that any serious effort was made by police official to join public witnesses in the proceedings. It is a well settled proposition that non-joining of public witness shrouds doubt over the fairness of the investigation by police. Section 100 (4) of the Cr. PC also casts a statutory duty on an official conducting search to join two respectable persons of the society. Same has not been done in the present case. This casts a doubt on the fairness of the investigation.

State vs . Rajni on 17 December, 2012

" The relevant aspect to be noted is that the road on which the accident took place is a busy road. Site plan Ex. PW6/B does not indicate that the ladies were crossing the road from a place earmarked for the pedestrians to cross the road or that there was any zebra crossing. ­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­. For attracting the provisions of Section 304­A, IPC the negligent act of the accused must be culpable and gross and not merely based on an error of judgment, or the one which arises because of lack of intelligence. For holding an accused criminally liable one has to take into consideration all the attending circumstances which must also include any situation created by the negligent act of the injured person. In the present case, there is no evidence on record to show that the Petitioner was driving the offending vehicle at a very high speed or in a rash and negligent manner. There are no skid marks on the road to show that the FIR No. 341/05 Page 7 of 9 State vs. Rajni vehicle was being driven at a high speed. Thus, in view of circumstances of the present case it cannot be held that the accused was grossly negligent or reckless that he must be held criminally liable. The prosecution in the present case has not been able to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt against the Petitioner."

State vs . Rajni on 8 April, 2015

12. The next defence is that the public witnesses are not joined in the investigation. From the overall testimony of the witness, it appears that no effort, what to talk of a sincere/vague effort has been made to join the public persons in the investigation. All the witnesses examined by the prosecution are the police witnesses. Not even a single public witness has been examined by the prosecution nor joined in the investigation and no reason has been put forward by the prosecution witnesses that for what reason they are unable to gather support from public or independent witnesses to establish the guilt of the accused. Although, it can be said that it was a chance recovery but the State Vs. Rajni 4/7 FIR no. 277/07 incident had occurred from in a busy locality and therefore, it cannot be said that no public person would have been available at the spot. And even if the prosecution has not associated the public witnesses, it was incumbent upon the prosecution to at least put forward the reasons for not doing so. The failure on the part of the police personnels goes to suggest that they were not interested in joining the public persons in the police proceedings. Failure on the part of the police officials to make sincere effort to join public witnesses for the proceedings when they may be available creates reasonable doubt in the prosecution story in view of the following case law.

In the present case also admittedly the independent witnesses were State Vs. Rajni 6/8 FIR no.113/10 available at the time of recovery but they refused to associate themselves in the investigation. This explanation does not inspire confidence because the police officials who are the only witnesses examined in the case have not given the names and addresses of the persons contacted to join it is a very common excuse that the witnesses from the public refused to join the investigation. A police officer conducting investigation of a crime is entitled to ask anybody to join the investigation and on refusal by a person from the public the Investigating Officer can take action against such a person under the law. Had it been a fact that the witnesses from the public had refused to join the investigation, the Investigating Officer must have proceeded against them under the relevant provisions of law. The failure to do so by the police officer is suggestive of the fact that the explanation for non joining the witnesses from the public is an after thought and is not worthy of credence. All these facts taken together make the prosecution case highly doubtful".
