The doctor had also informed about the death of Syed Ali alias Monkey vide Ext. Ka. 5. He informed the S. O. Malhipur that the deceased was brought dead to the hospital at 7. 30 p. m. on 4- 4-76. 12. The learned counsel for the ap pellants argued that the case of the prosecution should be thrown away on the ground that the F. I. R. in the case appears to be a got up ante timed and fabricated document and the accused persons have been falsely implicated in the case after deliberations, and that the delay in lodging the F. I. R. was tried to be concealed by keeping the Chik register open and by ante- timing it. It was argued that this has resulted in concoction of the case against those, who were, in the opinion of P. W. 1, nearest to the co-appellants or were against the prosecution witnesses due to some reason, including being the wit nesses against them being the witnesses in favour of P. W. 1. It has been found above that on the factum of occurrence the prosecution examined P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali, informant/injured, and P. W. 3 Mohammad Yunus, injured, who is nephew of P. W. 1, and third person P. W. 2 Kandhai Lai. The other witnesses of factum of occurrence viz. Ram Narayan, Sunder and Chongey (D. W. 1) were not produced in evidence by the prosecution. These witnesses were mentioned in the F. I. R. to have witnessed the occurrence. The main appellants Nawazish Ali and Bhullan and P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali are the first cousins, being the grand sons of one man, Nizamuddin, ap pellant is Bhanja of one of the appellants Nawazish Ali and has got nothing to do with the village of occurrence Ghumni or with the village of residence of the parties viz. village Delva. The other appellants, namely, Sahaj Ram, Ram Udit, Sukh Din and Surya Lal are not at all related to the other three appellants or the victims. village Delva. The other appellants, namely, Sahaj Ram, Ram Udit, Sukh Din and Surya Lal are not at all related to the other three appellants or the victims. The deceased Syed Ali alias Monkey was the Bhatija (Nephew) of P. W. 1. It is not disputed that there was enmity between the appellants Nawazish Ali and Bhullan on the one hand and Gauhar Ali P. W. 1 and the deceased on the other hand due to litiga tion with respect to the agricultural land of village Ghumni. A case was fought be tween the father of Nawazish Ali and P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali. In that case of 1972-73 the appellant Ram Udit had given evidence against Bairam, the father of Nawazish Ali, who had won the case; and the appeal was pending at the time of occurrence. P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali had also prosecuted Nawazish Ali, Bhullan and Sahaj Ram, the appel lants for committing theft of the crop of the disputed field but these appellants had won the case and were acquitted. Similarly Nawazish Ali, the appellant, had also prosecuted Syed Ali alias Monkey, the deceased for theft under Section 3791. P. C. In that case of theft of crop P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali and Idris etc. were also accused alongwith others. In another case of theft launched by Ram Lakhan against P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali and the deceased etc. Sahaj Ram and Bhullan were named as prosecu tion witnesses and had later on also given evidence accordingly. Therefore, there was enmity in between the parties that could be the cause of the occurrence; and similarly this could also be the cause of the false implication and concoction. Accord ing to the prosecution Ram Udit, Sukhdin and Sahaj Ram as well as Surya Lal were on good terms with the other appellants. 13. D. W. 1 Chonge, a witness named by the informant in the F. I. R. to have seen the occurrence, stated on oath that he was not at all present on the spot at the time of the alleged occurrence. D. W. 1 further stated that P. W. 2 Kanhai, who was named as a witness in the F. I. R. , has got no land in village Ghumni where the occurrence is alleged to have taken place. D. W. 1 further stated that P. W. 2 Kanhai, who was named as a witness in the F. I. R. , has got no land in village Ghumni where the occurrence is alleged to have taken place. D. W. 1 further stated that P. W. 2 Kanhai is simply a ser vant of P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali and works for him in the field. It was stated by P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali that Kanhai had been working in the field of Kanhai at the time of occur rence and had seen the occurrence from there. P. W. 2 Kanhai stated that he has the land in his possession on mortgage which actually belongs to another person named Shamsher Sain. P. W. 3 Mohammad Yunus, the injured, however admitted at a late stage in his cross examination that Kandhai (P. W. 2) actually works as a ser vant on the field of P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali. Therefore, this witness Kandhai was proved to be the man of P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali and had no land of his own there on the spot. The other witnesses named in the F. I. R. to have seen the occurrence were not produced by the prosecution. One of the witnesses, mentioned in the F. I. R. was ex amined by the defence as D. W. 1. Exclud ing all these persons there remains only P. W. 1 Gauhar Ali and his sisters son P. W. 3 Mohammad Yunus. Idris has not been produced. Kandhai P. W. 2 does not ap pears to be present on his alleged non existent plot because he does not own any plot of land of his own and because he has been proved by D. W. 1 Chongey that P. W. 2 Kandhai was not at all present at the time of occurrence or near the place of occur rence. P. W. 1 is admittedly litigating with the two appellants, namely, Nawazish and Bhullan and they have enmity because a litigation on this land is still going on in between these persons at the appellate stage. Criminal cases were also fought on either side with respect to the crop of the land of village Ghumni. P. W. 1 is admittedly litigating with the two appellants, namely, Nawazish and Bhullan and they have enmity because a litigation on this land is still going on in between these persons at the appellate stage. Criminal cases were also fought on either side with respect to the crop of the land of village Ghumni. Under these cir cumstances the evidence and the material on record has to be looked with care, par ticularly when Nizamuddin, the appellant belongs to another village and is related as a Bhanja to the appellant Nawazish Ali, and particularly when other appellants are unconnected with Nawazish Ali and Bhul lan and those appellants have got no inter est in the land and have got no interest with the dispute in between Nawazish Ali and Gauhar Ali. Those other appellants have got no community of interest with Nawazish Ali and Bhullan so as to co operate in committing murder. Some of the appellants had appeared as witnesses for and against Nawazish Ali in the dispute of theft of crop. There is, therefore, every possibility of the false implication of Nizamuddin and other appellants, namely, Ram Udit, Sahaj Ram, Sukhadin and Surya Lai. Under these circumstances also greater caution is required while cordinating the merit of the case with the material available. The intrinsic apvorta of evidence is required to be looked into. 14. The occurrence took place, ac cording to the prosecution at about 3 p. m. on 4-4-76. The F. I. R. was lodged by P. W. 1 had the challan nash been written at the time of dispatch of the dead body then these papers would have been delivered to the Deputy C. M. O. at the time of the delivery of the dead body to him. The case crime number was not mentioned on the Challan nash because it did not accompany the dead body. Therefore, it is clear beyond doubt that the F. I. R. had not been taken down and was not in existence on 4th and 5th of April, 1976. It appears to have been prepared after deliberations and was ante-timed. The case crime number was not mentioned on the Challan nash because it did not accompany the dead body. Therefore, it is clear beyond doubt that the F. I. R. had not been taken down and was not in existence on 4th and 5th of April, 1976. It appears to have been prepared after deliberations and was ante-timed. This thing is important in the in stant case where the defence is that the appellants were falsely implicated due to enmity, and in case where a possibility was given by the appellants that the deceased and the two other injured might have been beaten elsewhere on the soil of Nepal, the boundary of which is adjacent to the field of village Ghumni, where the occurrence is alleged to have taken place. It is so near that a Police Station of the State of Nepal is visible from the place of occurrence ac cording to the prosecution witnesses. Needless to say that where the F. I. Rs. are ante-timed, and where there is delay in lodging the F. I. R. then concoction and false implication cannot be ruled out, rather there was much possibility of preparing the F. I. R. after deliberation. This is fatal to the case of the prosecution. 15. It is alleged that Sri O. P. Tripathi P. W. 6, who was the S. O. had collected the samples of simple and blood stained earth from the field of Masood. But these two samples of earth were not produced before the Court and were not at all exhibited. The memo of taking this earth (Ext. Ka. 12) was alleged to have been prepared on the spot. Below the signatures 01 S. O. Sri O. P. Tripathi instead of the designation s. O. , designation has been mentioned to be s. I. On other papers including the inquest report the S. O. has given his desig nation as s. O. and not as s. I. It was suggested to the witness P. W. 6 that it was so because these papers were prepared later on when Sri Tripathi had been trans ferred as S. I. to another Police Station. In the memo Ext. Ka. 12 aforementioned one Tulsi Ram and one Kripa Ram Murav have been shown to have signed and to have put the thumb impression as the witnesses of the taking of the earth from the spot. In the memo Ext. Ka. 12 aforementioned one Tulsi Ram and one Kripa Ram Murav have been shown to have signed and to have put the thumb impression as the witnesses of the taking of the earth from the spot. None of these witnesses were produced in the witness box nor P. W. 6 or any other witness proved that these two persons had signed or put their thumb impression on Ext. Ka. 12. P. W. 1 Gauhar All stated that he was present on the spot when the sample of earth was taken. His signatures were not taken on this recovery memo. He also does not prove the signatures and thumb im pression of these alleged persons. Under these circumstances it becomes highly doubtful whether such earth was at all taken by the I. O. from the spot. This was a material thing because this would have fixed the place of occurrence. This is also fatal to the case of the prosecution because by his lapse prosecution can be said to have failed to prove that the occurrence took placeattheplacewhereitis alleged to have been taken place. Moreover it would be found that there are statements of the witnesses that they had been harvesting crop by means of sickles and axe etc. the witnesses also stated that they had left the Hansia- sickles and Kulhari-axe on the spot. These things were not taken into custody by the I. O. These things could have shown prima facie that the alleged eye witnesses were actually harvesting the crops at the relevant time at the fields where the occurrence took place. There is no explanation as to why these things were not taken into possession and as to where these things have gone. The witnesses are also unable to give any reason as to why they did not use these sickles and axe in self- defence. Seven persons were alleged to be inflicting Lathi and Ballam blows and instead of defending by these sickles and axe the witnesses say that they left these things without using them and threw them on the field. This lapse also makes it doubt ful whether the occurrence took place at the alleged place of occurrence. This thing is material when the matter of ante-timing of the F. I. R. is gone into. This lapse also makes it doubt ful whether the occurrence took place at the alleged place of occurrence. This thing is material when the matter of ante-timing of the F. I. R. is gone into. This shows that actually the occurrence was not seen by these alleged eye witnesses and the occur rence did not take place in the manner as alleged by the prosecution. 16. Under these circumstances the nature of injuries of all the three injured also becomes material. Except for injury No. 1 on the head of the deceased none of the injuries in itself was sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause the death of the deceased. The nature of the injuries of the two injured persons also shows that there was no intention to cause the death or to cause such bodily injury which was likely to cause death. The in juries of the deceased do not indicate that there was any intention to commit murder of course when injury No. 1 is excluded. It may be seen that although the star as sailant Nawazish Ali was studded with a Ballam but there is no injury of Ballam on the body of the two injured persons, and there was also no injury of Ballam on any vital part of the body of the deceased. The deceased had only one Ballam injury on the leg. From the very beginning of the occurrence the allegation was that Ballam (spear) was used and Lathis were also used. It was alleged that Ballam and Lathi wielding persons started causing injuries to the three victims by these persons by means of this stabbing weapon and it was only after the alleged chase of the field of Masood that only one Ballam injury was alleged to have been inflicted on the leg of the deceased. The belated explanation/im provement came out in the evidence only and it was stated that Nawazish Ali used the Ballam as a Lathi viz. the Ballam was used not from the side of spear but was used from the blunt side. But this is clearly an improvement because this fact was never alleged in the F. I. R. and was also never alleged in the statement recorded by the I. O. under Section 161 Cr. the Ballam was used not from the side of spear but was used from the blunt side. But this is clearly an improvement because this fact was never alleged in the F. I. R. and was also never alleged in the statement recorded by the I. O. under Section 161 Cr. P. C. The doctor has given the possibilityof the in jury having been suffered by a margin of about 5-6 hours either way from the time of the alleged occurrence. These facts indi cate that the injured did not suffer the injuries at the hands of these persons. If these persons had any intention to commit the murder, then the Ballam would not have been used from the blunt side and would have been used from the stabbing-spear side. If the witnesses had seen the occurrence then they would have stated from the beginning irtlhe F. I. R. as well as before the I. O. that the Ballam was used as a Lathi from the blunt side. The improve ment was thought out after the injury reports were perused and it appears to be clearly an advised statement. The as sailants appear to be interested only in causing injuries. The probability in the margin of time in suffering the injuries also show that the time of the occurrence is also doubtful and this may be connected logically with the reason of ante-timing of the F. I. R. 17. This is so because there does not appear to be any immediate provocation-motive, cause or reason to commit the offence on that day, and to form an unlaw ful assembly of seven persons, who had no common interest, no community of pur pose or reason to cause or attempt to cause the death or injuries. The genesis of the occurrence was not at all proved and no evidence was led in this connection. The genesis of the initial occurrence was al leged to be the beating of Idris, the brother of P. W. 3 and Bhanja of P. W. 1,45 minutes earlier than the start of the main occur rence. That genesis could have been proved in this case by producing Idris in the witness box and also by proving his injuries. That occurrence is alleged to have taken place at 2. 15 p. m. Idris only could have proved that occurrence. P. W. 5 Dr. That genesis could have been proved in this case by producing Idris in the witness box and also by proving his injuries. That occurrence is alleged to have taken place at 2. 15 p. m. Idris only could have proved that occurrence. P. W. 5 Dr. Irshad Ali while proving injuries of P. W. 3 had not the benefit of the presence of P. W. 3 before him in the Court. The doctor also did not prove the marks of identification of P. W. 3 while stating about his injuries. The doctor also did not mention the colour of injuries in the two medical reports Ext. Ka. 3 and Ext. Ka. 4. According to the opinion of the doctor there could be difference in the duration of the injuries to the extent of 4 to 5 hours either way. According to the post mortem report Ext. Ka. 2 the stomach and small intestines of the deceased were totally empty, and big intestine was only partially filled with faecal matter. There were no gasses at all. In view of these things the first occurrence must have been proved and Idrish should have been produced in the witness box and his in-juriesshould have beenproved. There was, therefore, no reason for the accused to have suddenly acted in the manner as al leged by the prosecution. In view of this it can safely be said that the accused persons were falsely implicated because of enmity and they were named in the F. I. R. after due deliberation. 18. The two witnesses named in the F. I. R. were not produced on the ground that they had been won over. The third named witness appears from the side of the defence and the fourth person Kanhai was proved to be the servant of Guhar Ali and had no land of his own there. Therefore, there was clear absence of independent witnesses to prove the case. The facts and circumstances of the case demand that the witnesses of factum of occurrence be dis believed outright. They are accordingly disbelieved. 19. Learned counsel for the appel lants took the Court through the entire evidence and pointed out a number of infirmities in the case but in view of the above fatal defects, other points need not be laboured.

Learned counsel for the appel lants took the Court through the entire evidence and pointed out a number of infirmities in the case but in view of the above fatal defects, other points need not be laboured. The interested statements of the witnesses have been disbelieved. The learned trial Court dealt with all the argu able points in the case but we are not inclined to ignore the factum of ante-timing of the F. I. R. and concocted facts discussed above in detail. The learned trial Court should have disbelieved the evidence of the prosecution. The accused had given a possibility about the injuries having been suffered in Nepal. The ac cused could simply give a possibility but were not legally bound to prove the man ner in which the injuries were suffered. 20. In view of what has been said above the prosecution fails to prove the case against the appellants. The learned trial Court, therefore, should have held the appellants not guilty and should have acquitted them. The appellants are, there fore, not found guilty of the charges of committing murder or committing riot etc. framed against them. They are entitled to acquittal and shall be acquitted accordingly. The appeal has got force. The appeal is allowed. The conviction and sentences under appeal are set aside and the appel lants are acquitted of all the charges framed against them. Appellants are on bail. Their bail bonds are cancelled and sureties are discharged and they need not surrender to their bail bonds. Appeal allowed. .
