from the place where the dead body was found, at the instance of the accused. He further stated that there was no public witnesses to witness the preparation of recovery memo, since nobody was ready to be the witness of the same, therefore, the recovery memo was prepared in presence of his sub-ordinates. After examination of the prosecution witnesses, the statements of the accused were recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. in which he had stated that after the death of accused’s mother, complainant had asked him to sell his land, he would manage his employment in M.E.S, in place of his mother and for that purpose, the complainant had extorted money amounting to Rs. 1.5 lakh since the complainant had assured to get managed the employment for him and when the accused had asked his money from the complainant, he implicated him falsely in the present case so that he could not claim his money further. 16. Learned Court below examined the evidences produced before him and ultimately arrived at conclusion that from the evidences produced by the prosecution, the accused’s guilt was proved and therefore, convicted the accused for commission of offence punishable under Section 364, 302 and 201 I.P.C. and awarded sentences thereto. 17. Dr. Abida Syed, learned Amicus Curiae for the appellant has contended that the complainant had lodged the First Information Report on 22.4.2002 at about 21:05 hour in which the date and hour of occurrence reported as 22.4.2002, at 1.45p.m. PW-3 Sajan in his deposition, had stated that he met with Jitender Kumar (complainant) (PW-1) and Anita Devi (mother of the deceased) at 2:00 p.m. and told her that Nikhil was carried by his Mausa, but the complainant had not named him in the First Information Report lodged for commission of crime. She further stated that the accused himself had informed the complainant that somebody had taken away his boy Nikhil, which establishes that he was not involved in commission of offence, rather he was implicated falsely for commission of crime only on the ground that he may not be in a position to demand his money from the complainant. It is stated that accused had taken this defence in his statement recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. 18. Learned counsel for the appellant has further submitted that the statement of PW-4 is based on extra judicial confession of accused.
It is stated that accused had taken this defence in his statement recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. 18. Learned counsel for the appellant has further submitted that the statement of PW-4 is based on extra judicial confession of accused. PW-4, in his deposition, had stated that on the date of incident Gajendra Singh met him at his home at about 7-8 p.m. and accepted his guilt and also asked to save him, whereas the extra judicial confession, is a weak piece of evidence. It is to be proved just like any other fact and the value thereof depends upon the veracity of the witness to whom it is made. It may be necessary that the actual words used by the accused must be given by the witness, but it is for the Court to decide on the acceptability of the evidence having regard to the credibility of the witnesses. Learned counsel for the appellant has further contended the prosecution has failed to establish the motive for commission of offence of murder, rather PW-1 and PW-2 both had established that there was a cordial relation between the accused and them. 19. Per contra, learned Additional Government Advocate has submitted that apart from statement of PW-1 and PW-2 father and mother of the deceased, there were statements of independent witnesses like Sajan (PW-3), who is resident of the same village. He had supported the case of prosecution. He asserted that Radhey Shyam (PW-5) relative of the complainant, who had been the last seen witness, in his statement, had stated that he had seen Nikhil together with Gajendra Singh (accused) morning towards Naktiya, since he was going with his Mausa, he proceeded for his work. In cross-examination, he had deposed that Nikhil and Gajendra Singh, had been going through scooter, the scooter was ridden by Gajendra Singh and Nikhil had sat behind him silently. Sajan (PW-3) was an independent witness, he was resident of the same village as well as he was studying in the same school, where the deceased was studying. In his deposition, he had stated that there is one Pipal Tree from where he had seen the Nikhil going out, he was carried by the person by foot, who was his Mausa, since he was carrying him comfortably and oftenly, he had earlier used to carry him also he did not challenge him.
In his deposition, he had stated that there is one Pipal Tree from where he had seen the Nikhil going out, he was carried by the person by foot, who was his Mausa, since he was carrying him comfortably and oftenly, he had earlier used to carry him also he did not challenge him. He further stated that he had told this fact to the parent of the deceased. PW-1, in his deposition, had stated that accused had rung up him at about 14:05 p.m. and informed that his child was in Sadar, he immediately went there, but the dead body of the child was found in Palampur Forest. Gajendra Singh did not participate in cremation of the deceased and had left his house alongwith his family from the date of incident itself. The accused had told him that he had lodged the report of missing his child at the Police Station. PW-2 Anita Devi (mother of the deceased) in her statement, had accepted that she was told by Sajan that Gajendra Singh had carried his son (Nikhil) from school. She further stated that Gajendra Singh had informed that he had seen two persons in the Cantt. area going towards Diriya carrying his boy. Therefore, all the circumstances indicate towards the accused that he was the person who was seen together with the deceased lastly and thereafter the dead body of the deceased was found in Palampur forest. He further stated that accused had confessed his guilt before PW-4. Thus the learned A.G.A. has submitted that the learned Court below had appreciated the evidences produced before him in correct prospective. 20. We have heard the learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 21. In the present case, the connection of the appellant for commission of murder of the deceased based on last seen evidence produced by PW-3 (Sajan), he is resident of the same locality of the deceased, since the accused had used to carry the children of the complainant from home to school and school to home oftenly, he was known to the deceased colleagues namely Sajan. Sajan was studying in the same school and his closeness with the deceased is established from his statement as he had stated that he used to go school and come back together with the deceased and his younger brother Golu. Sajan is son of his brother-in-law.
Sajan was studying in the same school and his closeness with the deceased is established from his statement as he had stated that he used to go school and come back together with the deceased and his younger brother Golu. Sajan is son of his brother-in-law. He further stated that they took lunch by sitting together and on the date of incident also they had taken lunch together. His statement had became more specific, when he had stated that Nikhil had carried Acchar and Paratha in his tiffin from his home. He had deposed that Nikhil was carried by Mausa (Gajendra Singh), since the accused used to carry him oftenly, he did not challenge him. He had told this fact to the parents of the deceased on the same day at about 2:00 p.m. PW-6 Dr. Arvind Agarwal, in his statement, had stated that he had conducted the autopsy of the dead body of the deceased at 3:30 p.m. on the next date of incident and he had stated that the death would have occurred before 24 hours of postmortem examination. His statement proves that the deceased was murdered between the period of 3:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on the day of missing itself that was 22.4.2002. PW-3, in his statement, had stated that the accused had taken away the deceased at about 12:30 p.m. PW-1 complainant (father of the deceased) in his statement, had stated that on the date of incident at about 1:45 p.m. Gajendra Singh (accused) had rung up him, and told him that he had seen Nikhil in the Cantt. area being carried by two persons on motor cycle. Then the complainant proceeded towards Dhiriya and got announced from Maszid about the missing of his child, then somebody informed him that dead body of one child was lying in Palampur forest. During this period no other factors had intervened which could suggest that the accused was not involved in commission of crime of murder of the deceased. 22. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has consistently laid down that where a case rests squarely on circumstantial evidence, the inference of guilt can be justified only when all the incriminating facts and circumstances are found to be incompatible with the innocence of the accused or the guilt of any other persons.
22. The Hon’ble Supreme Court has consistently laid down that where a case rests squarely on circumstantial evidence, the inference of guilt can be justified only when all the incriminating facts and circumstances are found to be incompatible with the innocence of the accused or the guilt of any other persons. The circumstances, from which an inference as to the guilt of the accused is drawn, have to be proved beyond reasonable doubt and have to be shown to be closely connected with the principal fact sought to be inferred from those circumstances. 23. In Bhagat Ram v. State of Punjab, AIR (1954) SC 621), it was laid down that where the case depends upon the conclusion drawn from circumstances the cumulative effect of the circumstances must be such as to negative the innocence of the accused and bring the offences home beyond any reasonable doubt. 24. The Hon’ble Supreme Court discussed the principles of last seen theory in Bodhraj v. State of J & K, (2002) 8 SCC 45 , and held as under : “31. The last-seen theory comes into play where the time-gap between the point of time when the accused and the deceased were seen last alive and when the deceased is found dead is so small that possibility of any person other than the accused being the author of the crime becomes impossible. It would be difficult in some cases to positively establish that the deceased was last seen with the accused when there is a long gap and possibility of other persons coming in between exists. In the absence of any other positive evidence to conclude that the accused and the deceased were last seen together, it would be hazardous to come to a conclusion of guilt in those cases. ..” 25. In Ram Gulam Chaudhary v. State of Bihar, (2002) 8 SCC 311, the appellant had carried away the boy who was not seen alive thereafter. The appellant gave no explanation as to what they did after they took away the boy. The question arose whether in such facts Section 106 of the Evidence Act applied.
..” 25. In Ram Gulam Chaudhary v. State of Bihar, (2002) 8 SCC 311, the appellant had carried away the boy who was not seen alive thereafter. The appellant gave no explanation as to what they did after they took away the boy. The question arose whether in such facts Section 106 of the Evidence Act applied. The Hon’ble Supreme Court held as under : “In the absence of an explanation, and considering the fact that the Appellants were suspecting the boy to have kidnapped and killed the child of the family of the Appellants, it was for the Appellants to have explained what they did with him after they took him away. When the abductors withheld that information from the Court there is every justification for drawing the inference that they had murdered the boy. Even though Section 106 of the Evidence Act may not be intended to relieve the prosecution of its burden to prove the guilt of the accused beyond reasonable doubt, but the section would apply to cases like the present, where the prosecution has succeeded in proving facts from which a reasonable inference can be drawn regarding death. The Appellants by virtue of their special knowledge must offer an explanation which might lead the Court to draw a different inference.” 26. In Sahadevan v. State, (2003) 1 SCC 534 , the prosecution established the fact that the deceased was seen in the company of the appellant from morning 5-3-1985 till 5.00 pm. and thereafter his dead body was found in the morning of 6-3-1985. In the background of such fact the Court observed as under : “Therefore, it has become obligatory on the appellants to satisfy the Court as to how, where and in what manner Vadivelu parted company with them. This is on the principle that a person who is last found in the company of another, if later found missing, then the person with whom he was last found has to explain the circumstances in which they parted company. In the instant case the appellants have failed to discharge this onus. In their statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. they have not taken any specific stand whatsoever.” 27.
In the instant case the appellants have failed to discharge this onus. In their statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. they have not taken any specific stand whatsoever.” 27. In Rambraksh @ Jalim v. State of Chhattishgarh, (2016) 12 SCC 251 , the Hon’ble Supreme Court discussed the last seen theory as under : “It is trite law that a conviction cannot be recorded against the accused merely on the ground that the accused was last seen with the deceased. In other words, a conviction cannot be based on the only circumstance of last seen together. Normally, last seen theory comes into play where the time gap, between the point of time when the accused and the deceased were seen last alive and when the deceased is found dead, is so small that possibility of any person other than the accused being the perpetrator of the crime becomes impossible. To record a conviction, the last seen together itself would not be sufficient and the prosecution has to complete the chain of circumstances to bring home the guilt of the accused”. 28. In Kavita v. State of Tamil Nadu (Supra), the Hon’ble Supreme Court has discussed the principles of extra judicial confession as under : “There is no doubt that conviction can be based on extra-judicial confession but it is well-settled that in the very nature of things, it is a week piece of evidence. It is to be proved just like any other fact and the value thereof depends upon the veracity of the witness to whom it is made. It may not be necessary that the actual words used by the accused must be given by the witness but it is for the Court to decide on the acceptability of the evidence having regard to the credibility of the witnesses”. 29. In the case of Shamsher Singh @ Shera v. State of Haryana, (2002) 7 SCC 536 , Hon’ble Apex Court held as under : “Even if there is absence of motive, it would not benefit the accused when there is reliable and acceptable version of the eye-witnesses, which is supported by the medical evidence, pointing against him. “ 30.
29. In the case of Shamsher Singh @ Shera v. State of Haryana, (2002) 7 SCC 536 , Hon’ble Apex Court held as under : “Even if there is absence of motive, it would not benefit the accused when there is reliable and acceptable version of the eye-witnesses, which is supported by the medical evidence, pointing against him. “ 30. In the case of Dharnidhar v. State of U.P. and others, (2010) 3 SCC (Cri) 491, Hon’ble Apex Court held as under : “It is not always necessary for prosecution to establish definite motive for commission of crime to secure conviction of accused. It would always be relatable to facts and circumstances of a given case. Absence of motive does not essentially result in acquittal of accused if he is otherwise found guilty by cogent and reliable evidence. However, in cases which are entirely or mainly based upon circumstantial evidence, motive can have greater relevancy or significance”. 31. In view of the aforesaid principles laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, we have examined the present case PW-3 Sajan, colleague of the deceased, in his deposition, had stated that on the date of incident at about 12:30 p.m. he had seen the accused together with the deceased, the accused had carried the deceased comfortably, he did not object, since the accused was relative of the deceased and he used to carry him oftenly earlier also. PW-5 has also been the witness of last seen of the deceased together with the accused, in his statement, he had stated that, he had seen Nikhil (deceased) together with his Mausa Gajendra Singh, going towards Naktiya, it was about 3 to 3:15 p.m. since the deceased was going with his Mausa, he proceeded for his work. Gajendra Singh had carried Nikhil through scooter, Gajendra Singh was driving scooter, Nikhil had sat behind him. PW-4 in his deposition had stated that the accused had confessed his guilt for commission of murder of the deceased (Nikhil) before him after one or two days, he had told this fact to Jitender Kumar (father of the deceased). The extra judicial confession made by the accused before PW-4 is well connected with the fact that the deceased was seen with accused lastly by PW-3 and PW-5 and thereafter the dead body of the deceased was found lying in forest.
The extra judicial confession made by the accused before PW-4 is well connected with the fact that the deceased was seen with accused lastly by PW-3 and PW-5 and thereafter the dead body of the deceased was found lying in forest. No other facts had intervened during this period nor was any missing link established between the time of last seen and the commission of murder of the deceased. The whole circumstances for commission of murder of the deceased by the accused indicate that the accused had carried the deceased from his school and committed his murder. 32. In view of the aforesaid facts, the prosecution has proved the guilt of the accused for commission of murder of the deceased beyond reasonable doubt, therefore, the motive of the accused for commission of murder becomes insignificant. 33. Therefore, we are of the view that the trial Court had appreciated the evidences and passed the judgment and order under challenge convicting the appellant for commission of offence under Sections 364, 302 and 201 I.P.C. correctly. 34. Thus, no interference is warranted in the judgment and order dated 20.1.2004 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Bareilly, in Session Trial No. 994 of 2002. 35. In the result, the appeal stands dismissed. Let a certified copy of this order alongwith lower Court record be sent to the Court concerned.
