Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-17-2003

Reported in: 2004CriLJ335; ILR2003KAR3337

Saldanha, J.1. These appeals preferred by the State of Karnataka assail the common judgment dated 26.3.1998 whereby the Trial Court had acquitted all the accused in the 4 sessions cases that were heard together. Though the incidents was common, since some of the accused were absconding at different times those cases were separated and later on, they formed part of a common trial. The learned Trial Judge has acquitted the accused principally on the ground that there are infirmities in the evidence which are virtually fatal to the prosecution and it is against this order of acquittal that the present set of appeals have been filed.2. We have heard the learned Counsel in support of the appeals at considerable length and we have also reviewed the record threadbare. We have also heard the learned Counsel who represents the respondent - accused who has again referred to various particulars of the record and both the learned Counsel have made their submissions both on facts and in law.

1. The State of Karnataka has preferred this appeal, which is directed against an order of acquittal recorded by the learned Principal Sessions Judge, Bijapur, in S.C. No. 57/1994. The four accused, who are respondents before us, were tried for the offence punishable under Section 302 read with Section 34 of I.P.C. the allegation being that, at about 12.30 in the night of 22-9-1993, they are alleged to have assaulted deceased Upashappa Kallappa Mamadapur with an axe and wooden clubs, and that they inflicted severe injuries on him as a result of which he died after some time. The trial Court, after a careful analysis of the evidence, held that the material on record did not establish the charges and consequently acquitted the accused and it is against this decision that the present appeal has been filed.2.

The State Vs. Dinesh Shastry

Court: Karnataka

Decided on: Jun-16-2003

Reported in: 2004CriLJ332

M.F. Saldanha, J.1. We have heard the learned Addl. SPP on merits, as also, so far as IA-I is concerned. His principal submission is that the weapon used was a deadly weapon, secondly, that the injury was on the head, namely, vital part of the body and thirdly, that the nature of the injury was such, that it could have caused death. The learned counsel also drew our attention to the fact that there is enough evidence on record to indicate that the accused was armed with the deadly weapon. The statements made by him and all other accompanying circumstances would clearly indicate that his intention was to finish off the victim and that consequently, even though the death has not taken place, Section 307, I.P.C. will clearly apply.2. We have very carefully re-examined the facts and the law. We are of the assumption that the allegations against the accused, as held by the learned trial Judge, make out a case for conviction and we have only reviewed the question whether Section 326, I.P.C. ...
