State vs Mohd. Hanif on 22 October, 2013

10. PW­2, complainant is the material witness, but he did not support the case of the prosecution as he did not identify the accused persons. PW­2 was cross­examined by Ld. APP for the State, but nothing material came in his cross­ FIR no. 717/06 State Vs Mohd. Hanif & Ors. 6 of 8 7 examination. On the other hand, the deposition of PW­3 and PW­9, who are recovery witnesses according to the prosecution, are not trustworthy as there are contradictions in their depositions. PW­3 deposed that at about 04­15 a.m., the accused persons came on their Motor Cycle and they were apprehended. Personal search of the accused was conducted and one purse containing Rs.2,020/­ was recovered from Mohd. Hanif and mobile phone Nokia was recovered from the possession of accused Mohd. Nizam. Whereas, PW­9 deposed that he arrested the accused persons at about 05­40 a.m. on 31.12.2006. PW­9 further deposed that he did not make any search of the accused persons and the case properties were produced by the accused themselves. PW­9 also admitted that the place of occurrence is thickly populated and residential area and a number of jhuggis situated there. It is difficult to believe that if the place of occurrence is thickly populated area and a number of jhuggis are situated there, then, why no public person was made a witness regarding the arrest and recovery of the purse and mobile phone from the accused.

State vs . Rahim Ansari on 18 December, 2012

In the present case, it is evident that no such FIR No. 606/05 Page 5 of 7 State vs. Rahim Ansari sincere efforts have been made, particularly when we find that shops were open and one or two shop­keepers could have been persuaded to join the raiding party to witness the recovery being made from the appellant. In case any of the shopkeepers had declined to join the raiding party, the police could have later on taken legal action against such shopkeepers because they could not have escaped the rigours of law while declining to perform their legal duty to assist the police in investigation as a citizen, which is an offence under the IPC''. Roop Chand V/s The State of Haryana,1999 (1) C.L.R 69, the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court held as under:­ ' It is well settled principle of the law that the Investigating Agency should join independent witnesses at the time of recovery of contraband articles, if they are available and their failure to do so in such a situation casts a shadow of doubt on the prosecution case. In the present case also admittedly the independent witnesses were 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.

Sayed Mohammed Masood (supra) requires to be brought to its logical end and considering the fact that the present application is filed at a very primitive stage even before the cognizance is to be taken, no interference is called for to exercise inherent powers of this Court under Section 482 of the Code.
