Om Prakash & Anr vs State Of Rajasthan on 21 January, 1998

27. The learned counsel for the appellants has relied upon the decision of the Supreme court in Om Prakash v. State of Rajasthan - AIR 1998 SC 1220 = 1998 KHC 1519 in support of his submission that if one of the accused is acquitted it is not proper to convict the remaining three accused. The facts dealt with therein are entirely different. Here the consistent case is that four accused persons actively participated in the commission of robbery and the 5th person aided the commission of robbery by keeping the car just near the place of incident so as to facilitate the accused to escape from the scene without being caught or noticed by others. It is not a case where the 5th accused was acquitted but he could not be traced or arrested by the investigating agency. It is argued by the learned counsel for the Crl.Appeal No. 231 of 2013 -:23:- appellants that if there is such a person in all probability, he could have been arrested but only a fake name has been shown by the police to show that there were five persons. But that contention cannot be accepted in view of the specific statements given by P.W.1 and P.W.2 that the 5th man was inside the car and the other four accused persons escaped in the car which was kept near the place of incident.
