State vs . Ram Singh Etc on 6 October, 2012
(13)The testimony of PW4 Mahesh is not disclosing any fact in respect of
the facts of the present case in hand. The present trial is not pertaining
to the theft committed at shop no. 675, Baba Farid Puri, West Patel
Nagar, Delhi or any of the property involved in that theft. Otherwise,
there is not even any trace of the particulars of case in judicial record.
No original FIR or any of the documents of the case registered in
respect of these offences from the concerned Police Station or from
concerned Court have been called. No witness to prove any of the
report of the commission of offence in the shop of PW3 Mahesh is
produced or cited as witnesses. Even otherwise, this witness deposed
that on 20-02-1995, one Anil from PS Rajender Nagar has visited his
shop and seen the FIR and accused Ram Singh and Jasbir were
brought on his shop on 23-02 -1995. In such circumstances, it has
been highly suspicious that the factum of theft or any offence at the
shop of PW3 is discovered to the Police at P.S. Rajender Nagar on the
disclosure statement made by accused Ram Singh or Jasbir within the
meaning of S-27 of Indian Evidence Act. The articles are also stated by
the witnesses to be seized and the memos prepared at P.S. The
witness has been unable to show any document to show himself as the
owner of the property seized. Articles are also not bearing the seal of
