In Re: Monoranjan Manna Alias Mintu Manna

Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Mar-11-1994

Reported in: (1994)1CALLT424(HC)

1. This revisional application seeks to set aside an appellate order affirming the conviction of the petitioner by a learned Trial Judge under Section 326 I.P.C. on the apparently substantial ground that Section 313 Code of Criminal Procedure has not been complied with as the learned Trial Judge did not put to the petitioner during the examination under Section 313 Cr. P.C., the evidence regarding the alleged permanent disfiguration of face suffered by the victim Manindra as a result of acid throwing by the petitioner. The learned Advocate for the petitioner has tried to bolster his point by relying upon the decision in Sarada's Case : 1984CriLJ1738 .2. The judgment of the learned Trial Judge reveals that there were several eye witnesses to the incident of acid throwing by the petitioner and it has not been urged by Mr. Sengupta, the learned Counsel for the petitioner, that these evidence were not pointed out to the petitioner under Section 313 Cr. P.C. Thus we can proceed on the assum...

Altamas Kabir, J.1. In this writ application the petitioners have challenged a notice dated 25th January, 1994 issued by some of the members of Hamirhati Gram Panchayat, District Bankura, giving notice that a meeting of the Gram Panchayat would be held on 4th February, 1994 for the purpose of ascertaining confidence of the members against the Prodhan as also the Upa-Prodhan.

In the meantime, it appears that pursuant to the resolution adopted at the meeting on 4th February, 1994 the Prodhan and Upa-Prodhan were sought to be removed from their respective offices and the charge of the office of the Prodhan was assumed by Smt. Chhanda Konar, respondent No. 11 herein.2. Pursuant to the above, an application for further interim order...
