JUDGEMENT Anjana Prakash, J. 1. The Appellant has been convicted under Section 323 I.PC. and sentenced to R.I. for 3 months and also a fine of Rs. 1000, out of which Rs. 500 was to be paid to the injured Harihar Bind, failing which a sentence of 3 months R.I. by a judgment dated 22nd September, 1994 passed by the Second Additional Sessions Judge, Bhabua in Sessions Trial No. 611/293 of 1992. 2. The prosecution case is that on 26th January, 1992 a Panchayati was held between the parties on account of an earlier dispute, in which the Appellant was also called, but he refused to do so and instead he assaulted the injured PW. 1. 3. During trial, the prosecution has examined ten witnesses in all. Out of whom, PW. 1 is the Informant, whereas, PW. 2 is the cousin of PW. 1 and PW. 3 is the wife of PW. 1 and PW. 4 is the cousin of the Informant. PW. 1, PW. 5 and PW. 7 have been declared hostile, whereas, PW. 6 is tendered and PW. 8 and PW. 9 are the Investigating Officers and PW. 10 is the doctor. 4. On going through the evidence of PW. 1, the injured, I find that he has stated that the Appellant had fired with the gun at him, but on going through the evidence of the doctor, I find that the two injuries sustained by him were simple in nature and caused by hard and blunt substance. This belies the prosecution case completely and even though PW. 3 has supported the factum of occurrence the same is not reliable in view of the complete negation of the prosecution case by the doctor. 5. In the result, appeal is allowed and the order of conviction and sentence passed against the Appellant on 22nd September, 1994 by the Second Additional Sessions Judge, Bhabua in Sessions Trial No. 611/293 of 1992 is set aside. The Appellant is discharged from the liability of his bail bond.
