19. PW1 is stated to be belonging to the nearby village as of the
deceased, PW2 is the real brother of the deceased, PW3 is
the cousin brother of the deceased and PW4 is stated to be the
friend of deceased and also a resident of the nearby village as
of the deceased. Given the closeness of the deceased with the
said eyewitnesses PW1 to PW4, it is not understandable if

why none of them, being the real brother, cousin, friend of the
deceased, accompanied with the deceased to the hospital when
he was taken by the PCR from the spot of accident. It is also
not understandable why none of these eyewitnesses did not
met the IO at the spot or at the hospital on the day of incident.
It is also interesting to note that PW1 stated that he cannot
identify the accused, during his testimony in the court. If he
was present at the spot, there is no reason for him to not
identify the accused.
