Court: Orissa

Decided on: Apr-10-1991

Reported in: 1992CriLJ281; 1991(II)OLR488

A. Pasayat, J.1. This application for revision is by the informant praying for reversal of the acquittal of the present opp. party Nos. 1 to 5, who faced trial under Secs. 147, 148, 302/149 of the Indian Penal Code in short (IPC) for allegedly committing murder of one Bauribandhu Pani.2. The main plank of argument of the petitioner is that the trial Court erred in its conclusions in several material aspects, and the conclusions arrived at were by overlooking material evidence, on misappreciation of evidence, and have resulted serious miscarriage of justice. The acquitted accused persons, however, maintain that this is not a case where an interference is warranted, considering the limited jurisdiction of this Court while considering an application for reversal of an order of acquittal. The learned counsel for the State while accepting that the State has not filed appeal against acquittal, supports the contention of the petitioner that the same is not proper.3.

Court: Orissa

Decided on: Apr-05-1991

Reported in: 1992(I)OLR514
