Short Note : 1. Regarding the conviction under section 380, Indian Penal Code, this Court has held, agreeing with the Courts below that the stolen property was seized from the possession of the applicant and the co-accused. Consequently, presumption under section 114(a) of the Evidence Act, could be drawn against the applicant. The seizure of these articles took place the very next day of the incident. The applicant was not able to explain the possession of the said property. Consequently, the Courts below rightly drawing the presumption, found the applicant under section 380 of the Indian Penal Code. Revision partly allowed.
