With an intention to kill the deceased, accused No. 1 had pressed the penis of her husband deceased Popatbhai Polabhai, whereas accused No. 2 had pressed the neck of deceased and thereby committed murder of deceased Popatbhai Polabhai.

Thereafter, after examining the witnesses, further statement of the appellants-accused under Section 313 of CrPC was recorded in which the appellants-accused have denied the case of the prosecution. 5. After considering the oral as well as documentary evidence and after hearing the parties, learned trial Judge vide impugned judgment and order dated 4.11.2006 held the appellants – accused guilty of the charge levelled against them under Sections 302 and 201 of IPC and convicted and sentenced both the appellants-accused, as stated above. 6. We have heard Mr. 5. After considering the oral as well as documentary evidence and after hearing the parties, learned trial Judge vide impugned judgment and order dated 4.11.2006 held the appellants – accused guilty of the charge levelled against them under Sections 302 and 201 of IPC and convicted and sentenced both the appellants-accused, as stated above. 6. We have heard Mr. Pratik B. Barot learned advocate for the appellant of Criminal Appeal No. 152/2007, Ms. Sadhana Sagar learned advocate for the appellant of Criminal Appeal No. 709/2007 and Mr. J.K. Shah learned APP for the respondent-State in both these appeals. 7. Mr. Pratik B. Barot learned advocate for accused No. 1 has tried to persuade this court that this was an unmeditated act, and in turn, even if it is believed that his client was present there, and therefore, at the most, the offence would fall under Section 304 Part-II of IPC. He has taken us through the evidence of PW-2 complainant Sangrambhai Talasibhai Koli Exh. 17 and PW-4 Kalpeshbhai Popatbhai Exh. 23, a child witness, who is the son of accused No. 1 and is an eye witness. He has tried to persuade this Court that there are major contradictions in the police statement and in the evidence given before the trial court. Learned advocate has tried to make a point that the child has shifted his version about his client. He has tried to convince this Court that the child is a tutored witness, and therefore, his evidence could not have been believed by the learned trial Judge for holding his client guilty under Section 302 and 201 of Indian Penal Code. 8. Having gone through the entire record, it would be relevant to refer to Section – 299 and Section – 300 of IPC, which reads as under: 299. Culpable homicide.—Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide. 300. Culpable homicide.—Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide. 300. Murder.—Except in the cases hereinafter expected, culpable homicide is murder, if the act by which the death is caused is done with the intention of causing death, or 2ndly.—If it is done with the intention of causing such bodily injury as the offender knows to be likely to cause the death of the person to whom the harm is caused, or 3rdly.— If it is done with the intention of causing bodily injury to any person and the bodily injury intended to be inflicted is sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death, or 4thly.—If the person committing the act knows that it is so imminently dangerous that it must, in all probability, cause death or such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, and commits such act without any excuse for incurring the risk of causing death or such injury as aforesaid.” Exceptions 4 to Section 300 reads as under: Exception 4.—Culpable homicide is not murder if it is committed without premeditation in a sudden fight in the heat of passion upon a sudden quarrel and without the offender having taken undue advantage or acted in a cruel or unusual manner. Explanation.—It is immaterial in such cases which party offers the provocation or commits the first assault. 9. Having perused the evidence of eye witnesses, medical and police papers minutely, we are unable to convince ourselves that this is a case of sudden fight in the heat of passion upon a sudden quarrel and without the offender having taken undue advantage or acted in a cruel or unusual manner. Having perused the evidence at length, we are unable to satisfy ourselves that the view other than that taken by the learned trial Judge can be taken. The reasons are that the learned trial Judge has very minutely observed at page-22 in Paragraph-25 of the judgment that the child would not implicate his own mother even if he is a tutored witness. The reasons are that the learned trial Judge has very minutely observed at page-22 in Paragraph-25 of the judgment that the child would not implicate his own mother even if he is a tutored witness. The learned trial Judge has relied on the panchnama, may be the panchas have turned hostile, but the fact remains that it was the accused who had shown the place of offence. Deceased Popatbhai Polabhai was strangulated and his vital organ, i.e. penis was also found in a bad shape. The evidence of PW-1 Dr. Baidhyanath Somitsing Ex. 10 and PW-2 Sangrambhai Talasibhai Ex. 17 have been believed by the learned trial Judge. As per the evidence of PW-1 Dr. Baidyanath Somitsing Ex. 10, the cause of death, according to the opinion of both the doctors who have performed the post mortem, was due to strangulation. PW-1 Dr. Baidyanath has further stated that there were other injuries on the body of deceased which could be caused by other person. PW-2 Sangrambhai Talasibhai Ex. 17 has deposed before the trial Court that accused Vasantben had illicit relation with accused Hansraj. He further stated that before about five years, one Dipak aged 17 years, had seen both the accused in compromising condition and therefore their relatives were gathered and dispute was amicably settled. He completely support the complaint Exh. 18. PW-4 Kalpesh Popatbhai Ex. 23 is the eye-witness of the incident. He is a child witness and son of accused Vasantiben and deceased Popatbhai. Before examining this eye witness, the trial Court has examined him whether he is able to depose before the Court and he was also given understanding about the seriousness of the offence and his evidence. On being satisfied about mental condition of eye-witness, his evidence was came to be recorded. This eye-witness has deposed before the trial Court that at the time of incident, his father was doing agricultural work in the field of Oghadbhai and Savabhai, situated in the sim of village Ankadia He deposed that to protect the crop from animal, he and his mother were used to sleep in the field of Oghadbhai, whereas, his father was used to go sleep in the field of Savabhai. He further deposed that during night time when he and his mother accused Vasantiben were sleeping in the field of Oghadbhai, accused Hasraj was coming there and was sleeping with his mother accused Vasantiben. He further deposed that during night time when he and his mother accused Vasantiben were sleeping in the field of Oghadbhai, accused Hasraj was coming there and was sleeping with his mother accused Vasantiben. When witness awoke in night due to natural call, he saw both the accused sleeping together and he informed this fact to his father deceased Popatbhai. His father told him not to tell this fact to anybody. This witness further stated that on the night when his father was murdered, his father was at the field of Savabhai Punjabhai. He further stated that on hearing some noise, he awoke and saw his father, mother and accused Hansraj. He further stated that both the accused have fell down his father and he requested both the accused not to kill his father.. He further stated that his mother and Hasraj told him not to inform about this to anybody and they threatened him to kill. This eye-witness further stated that his mother accused Vasantiben was sitting on the neck of his father whereas accused Hansraj was sitting on the leg of his father and at that time his father was told them to leave him. This witness further stated that thereafter both the accused have killed his father. On being asked by the public prosecutor that what he did thereafter, the witness stated that thereafter when his mother came to catch him, he ran away from the place of incident and came to his field where his mother came later on and told the witness she will kill him if he informs about the incident to anybody and he was locked in the house. Thereafter, he informed about the incident to his uncle and grand father Sangrambhai. There is no major contradiction in the cross-examination. PW-12 Ghusabhai Butabhai Bharavad Ex. 48 has identified the dead-body of the deceased. The medical evidence of PW-1 Dr. Baidhyanath Somitsing Ex. 10, PW-2 Sangrambhai Talasibhai Ex. 17, eye-witness PW-4 Kalpesh Popatbhai Ex. 23 and other evidence complete the chain of evidence that none other then the accused had caused the death of the deceased in a premeditated manner. PW-12 Ghusabhai Butabhai Bharavad Ex. 48 has identified the dead-body of the deceased. The medical evidence of PW-1 Dr. Baidhyanath Somitsing Ex. 10, PW-2 Sangrambhai Talasibhai Ex. 17, eye-witness PW-4 Kalpesh Popatbhai Ex. 23 and other evidence complete the chain of evidence that none other then the accused had caused the death of the deceased in a premeditated manner. We are unable to persuade ourselves to take a different view than that taken by the learned trial Judge as the child witness has with-stood the cross-examination, and therefore, it has been rightly believed by the learned trial Judge that it cannot be said that the fight had occurred on the spur of moment and we are unable to persuade ourselves to accept the submissions of learned advocate for the appellants as to give benefit of doubt or convert the sentence as an offence under Section 304(2) of IPC. There is nothing to show that this was not a premeditated act and there was a sudden fight. The prosecution has examined, in all, 21 witnesses, but none of them, except the panch witnesses, have been won-over by the accused. They have supported the case of the prosecution to the guilt of the appellants. Even the child witness has with-stood the cross-examination. He has categorically given the name of accused No. 1, who is his own mother. Therefore, it cannot be said that there was no intention. We are unable to accept the submissions that this is a case where it would fall under culpable homicide not amounting to murder. The nature of offence would certainly depend upon other attendant circumstances, like premeditated act, nature of weapon used and nature of assault on accused, which would help court to find out definitely about intention on part of accused. Therefore, from the evidence, it clearly appears that there was an intention to cause death. 10. We are in complete agreement with the findings, ultimate conclusion and resultant order of conviction and sentence passed by the trial Court and we are of the view that no other conclusion except the one reached by the trial Court is possible in the instant case as the evidence on record stands. Therefore, there is no valid reason or justifiable ground to interfere with the impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence. 11. In the result, both the appeals are dismissed. Therefore, there is no valid reason or justifiable ground to interfere with the impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence. 11. In the result, both the appeals are dismissed. The impugned judgment and order of conviction and sentence passed by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Surendranagar in Sessions Case No. 53/2005 is hereby confirmed. Bail bond stands cancelled. R & P to be sent back to the trial court, forthwith.
