1 - 3 of 3 (0.18 seconds)Section 411 in The Indian Penal Code, 1860 [Entire Act]
Emperor vs Sughar Singh And Anr. on 10 November, 1906
5. Several cases have been referred to, and in my opinion, although every case has been decided on the peculiar facts of it, there seems to be a strong opinion against the raising of any presumption in favour of the prosecution where there has been a delay between the loss of the goods and the recovery, of them. I do not propose to discuss any of the cases except one, viz., Emperor v. Sughar Singh (1906) 29 All. 138. In that case the appellant was found in possession of certain ornaments of the ordinary typo and these were found six months after the dacoity by which they were lost, and it was held that no presumption under Section 114 of the Evidence Act could be raised to imply guilty knowledge. Their Lordships laid special stress on the word 'soon' to be found in illustration (a) to Section 114 of the Evidence Act.
