3. The learned Public Prosecutor has assailed the judgment of the learned Magistrate on the ground that, when the sample had been given to the accused as per rules it was obligatory on him to produce his sample so that report from the Central Food Laboratory may be obtained. The learned Public Prosecutor placed reliance on the principle enunciated in the case of Mohinder Singh v. State of Punjab 1975 FAJ 342(Punj and Har). In that case the bottle of the sample with the accused was found to be broken. The bottle containing third sample smashed while in transit to the Director Central Food Laboratory, Calcutta. The accused was convicted on the basis of analysis of the Public Analyst. His Lordship was pleased to observe that no doubt whenever suspicious circumstances come into existence in such cases, to which the prosecution has contributed by its acts of commission or omission, the benefit of the doubt goes to the accused. The conviction was however for the reason that in that case no such criticism could be lodged against the prosecution.

K.V. Chacko vs State Of Kerala on 28 August, 2000

The aforesaid decision of the Special Bench of the Calcutta High Court has been followed in Mohinder Singh v. State of Punjab, 1971 Cri LJ 1764 (Punj and Har). It is by now well settled that a false plea of alibi set up by an accused is a strong incriminating circumstance against him. On the evidence adduced in this case we are of opinion that the plea of alibi set up by the accused has completely collapsed and broken down leading to the irresistible conclusion that the accused was present at the place of occurrence where the prosecution says he was. Accordingly, we reject the plea of alibi and hold that the accused was present at the scene of occurrence in the early hours of 6-8-1988.

Monu vs State Of U.P. on 22 November, 2021

In Mohinder Singh's case (supra) on which strong reliance is placed on behalf of the appellant, this Court has held that where the prosecution case was that the accused shot the deceased with a gun but it appeared likely that the injuries on the deceased were inflicted by a rifle and there was no evidence of a duly qualified expert to prove that the injuries were caused by a gun, and the nature of the injuries was also such that the shots must have been fired by more than one person and not by one person only, and the prosecution had no evidence to show that another person also shot, and the oral evidence was of witnesses who were not disinterested, the failure to examine an expert would be a serious infirmity in the prosecution case. It is plain that these observations were made in a case where the prosecution evidence was suffering from serious infirmities. Thus, in determining the effect of these observations, the facts in respect of which these observations came to be made cannot be lost sight of. The said case therefore, cannot be held to lay down an inflexible rule that in every case where an accused person is charged with murder caused by a lethal weapon, the prosecution case can succeed in proving the charge only if Ballistic Expert is examined. In what cases, the examination of a Ballistic Expert is essential for the proof of the prosecution case, must depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case."

P.L. Mehra, Etc. vs D.R. Khanna Etc. on 2 September, 1970

52. The Court, however, repelled the contention by the following two observations at pages 452 and 454 (of SCR) = (at pp. 1103 and 1104 of AIR):- "We are unable to accept the argument that since the High Court of Punjab by their judgment in Mohinder Singh Sawhney's case, struck down the Act, Act 6 of 1968 had ceased to have any existence in law......... The effect of that decision was only that the Act was in law, non-existent, so long as there was no definition of the expression "cattle fair" in the Act. That defect has been remedied by the Punjab Act 18 of 1968".
