I.C.I.C.I. Bank Limited vs Sh. Rajender Jain on 12 March, 2009
14. The argument of the Ld. Counsel for the accused that no
preparation as required under Section 399 IPC has been proved,
suffers from the inherent defect that a knife measuring 32 cm was
recovered from the possession of the accused, which he failed to
account for. He has simply stated in his examination under Section
313 Cr.P.C that nothing was recovered from him and he was falsely
implicated in this case. He, however, did not produce any defence
evidence in support of his claim. The argument that there is no
evidence as to where the alleged dacoity had to be committed and
non-examination of shadow witness HC Kuldeep is also not relevant
as other four co-accused persons had pleaded guilty and were
convicted under Section 399/402 IPC. All the arguments raised by the
Ld. Counsel for the accused loose their sting as in this case, four out
of the five accused persons had pleaded guilty to the offence under
Section 399/402 IPC. The offences under Section 399/402 IPC
requires the involvement of five or more persons. Five persons were
arrested by the Police and out of those five, four pleaded guilty and
were convicted. No judicial pronouncement has been placed on
record by the Ld. Defence counsel to the effect that in an offence
under Section 399/402 IPC where four co-accused persons have
S.C.96/10 State Vs. Rajender 9/10
pleaded guilty, one may claim innocence. Offence for preparation of
dacoity and assembling for the purpose of committing dacoity
necessarily requires the presence of five or more persons and when
four persons plead guilty, one cannot be believed to say that he was
falsely implicated in the case. The registration of FIR was proved by
PW-3 HC Naresh Kumar. Receiving of secret information regarding
assembling of the accused persons at Dhola Peer was proved by PW-6
SI Prasun. Formation of raiding team and the raid was proved by
PW-6 Prasun, PW-2 HC Suresh Kumar and PW-4 HC Ravinder. The
recovery of knife measuring 32 cms (17 cm handle and 15 cm blade)
from accused Rajender was proved by PW-4 HC Ravinder and PW-6
SI Prasun. Anil Yadav, UDC from Department of Home, Delhi
Government, proved copy of Notification dated 17.02.1979 as
Ex.PW1/A, according to which, possession of any knife having a
blade of more than 7.12 cm in length was prohibited. The seizure
memo of this knife was also proved by PW-4 HC Ravinder and PW-6
SI Prasun.
