11. Mr. Pratik Mishra appearing in Cr. Appeal (DB)
No. 814 of 2025 on behalf of the appellants Bhushan Yadav and
others has also, besides arguing other grounds, pointed out that
out of the two versions of the alleged incident, the version put
forth by the present appellants was not only found correct by the
Investigating Agency but has also resulted in conviction of the
accused persons, while the case of the complainant was found
false during the investigation, hence had proceeded upon protest
petition being treated as complaint. He has referred to paragraph
no. 8 of the judgment rendered in the case of State of M.P. Vs.
Mishri Lal, reported in (2003) 9 SCC 26, in order to submit
that the rational behind court cases being tried together by the
same court is to avoid conflicting judgments over the same
incident but in the present case the trial court trying both the
cases together has committed illegality by convicting these
appellants under Section 304/149 of the IPC, when the accused
persons of the case filed by the appellants also got convicted
under Section 302/149 of the IPC. He has also submitted that

the witnesses have not talked about the presence of each other
during the trial and P.W. 6 rather admits presence of Ramakant
Akela, who was armed with pistol along with others at the place
of occurrence and in cross examination, he has rather stated that
while the pistol was in the hand of Ramakant Akela, he did not
see the incident of firing but saw the appellant Yogeshwar Yadav
and his wife weeping. The counsel has also made a reference to
paragraph no. 16, 17, 18 and 20 of the evidence of the
complainant P.W. 8 to show that he is not definite of the
contents of the complaint petition and upon specific question
with regard to the correctness of the statements in the complaint,
the witness had kept silent. It has been further submitted that
while the appellant no. 3, is a lady and also mother of the
deceased, the other appellants 5 and 6 are also old aged persons.
Manoj vs The State Of Madhya Pradesh on 20 May, 2022
The law is well settled with regard to the
evidentiary value of the chance witnesses to the effect that their
evidence needs to be scrutinized with utmost care, such witness
is required to adequately explain his presence at the place of
occurrence and doubtful presence should be discarded, as has
been held in the case of Manoj Vs. State of MP, reported in
(2023) 2 SCC 353. We further find that PW-2 has deposed for
the first time in court, PW-3 is an interested witness as he is the
full brother of the complainant as also a chance witness, PW-6 is
a hearsay witness and PW-8 is the complainant himself who
admittedly is not an eye witness to the occurrence, even as per
his own case.
