Varun Kumar Sharma @ Varun Sharma vs The State Of Bihar (Now Jharkhand) on 16 April, 2003
22. It was argued on behalf of the appellant that the First Information Report Indicates no motive to kill Sri Krishna Sharma and whatever was motive that has been alleged only against P.W. 1 (Vishwanath Narsaria), who was Chairman of the School and had deferred payment of salary of this appellant. The motive later on shows that when Hawildar Harendra Singh (P.W. 7) had caught hold of one boy having revolver, then bomb was hurled with an intention to rescue that boy. So the motive was not to kill the informant or Vishwanath Narsaria rather the motive was to rescue tr e apprehended criminal and it was aimed at P.W. 7 (Hawildar Harendra Singh) but it is surprising that Hawildar Harendra Singh (P.W. 7) did not see anyone at the place of occurrence when bomb was hurled nor he saw anyone who abetted the hurling of bomb. Learned Counsel while argued on this point, has relied on a decision of the Orissa High Court, reported in 1982 Cri. L.J. 1585 (Anam Pradhan and Ors. v. The State).
