Habeeb Mohammad vs The State Of Hyderabad on 5 October, 1953

7) To strengthen his argument on the issue of non-examination of material witness, he relied upon a judgment rendered by the Supreme Court of India in the case of Habeeb Mohammad v. State of Hyderabad wherein it is held that as per Section 252 Cr.P.C. and Section 114 of Indian Evidence Act, 1872, if the material witness is not examined, it casts a serious reflection on the fairness of the trial. Thus, he argued, the Court may draw an adverse inference and extend benefit of doubt to the appellant. He further submits that ballistic expert has not been examined, and thereby, it is not established whether the appellant fired with the fire arm i.e. M.O.1 - country S.B.M.L. gun or not. It is also not clear that the weapon of the offence was triggered by the appellant. Thus, the appellant is innocent and falsely implicated, as such, the appeal may be allowed.
