Sharad Birdhichand Sarda vs State Of Maharashtra on 17 July, 1984
12. Keeping in view the principles laid down by the Supreme Court
in the matters Sharad Birdhichand Sarda and Nathiya (supra),
we shall now proceed to analyse the evidence available on
record to ascertain as to whether the evidence of seizure of
articles is so clinching that the appellants' conviction can rest on
the sole evidence of seizure of articles. The most crucial
evidence is seizure of one torch from accused Deenaram, which
was recovered from the well situated in the kitchen garden of
one Devnarayan. In the description of article mentioned in the
seizure memo Ex.P/22, it is mentioned that one torch fitted with
rechargeable battery has been recovered, however, witness to
the seizure memo PW-9 Paltan Singh has stated that the torch
recovered from the well was not complete as it was not having
the battery, which was separately recovered meaning thereby
that at the time of seizure, battery was not fitted in the torch.
Similarly, the torch was not having the glass but there is no

mention of this crucial aspect in the seizure memo.

distinction between 'may be proved' and 'must be or should
be proved' as was held by this Court in Shivaji Sahebrao
Bobade Vs. State of Maharashtra, (1973) 2 SCC 793 : (AIR
1973 SC 2622) where the following observations were made:
