Ataur Rehman vs State on 23 November, 2009

The Petitioners herein were simply the members of the Managing Committee who wanted the temple to be constructed for the welfare of general public. It is stated that the Managing Committee of Hari Mandir had taken the services of Ram Naresh, Thekedar and had entered into an agreement with him to construct the temple in question. All the members of the Managing Committee are laymen and were simply serving the temple. It is further stated that the allegation against the Petitioners that they had malice in providing low grade material is not justified. There are no specific allegations against the Petitioners and no role has been attributed to any one Crl. Rev. P. 550/2009 Page 1 of 6 of them. It is further stated that it was either for the contractor, architect or for the labour themselves to decide as to how the support was to be provided to the lanter. If at all the lanter and the roof of the temple have come down, it cannot be due to the rash and negligent act of the Managing Committee to which the Petitioners are members. Reliance is placed on Ataur Rehman vs. State, 2010 (1) JCC 214 to contend that in the absence of any criminal intention of which there was no whisper in the statement of the Complainant, it cannot be said that the death of the victim was by rash and negligent act of the Petitioners. Thus the impugned order framing charges against the Petitioners is bad in law and liable to be set aside.
