Reena Jaiswal took out a bucket full of acid which she threw causing injury over his mother Pramila Devi while Baidyanath Choudhary threw bucket of acid over him causing injury. During midst of event, Kedar had brick-batted causing injury over his mother, Pramila Devi. 5. On the basis of the aforesaid fardbeyan, Patori PS. Case No. 155/2013 was registered whereupon, investigation commenced and during pendency of the same, it is evident that only one accused Baidyanath Choudhary, was apprehended and on that very basis, charge-sheet was submitted against him alone keeping the investigation pending against remaining whereupon Sessions Trial No. 489/2013 originated with regard to trial of sole accused Baidyanath Choudhary. In the aforesaid Sessions Trial, seven witnesses have been examined and those are PW-1, Rani Kumari, PW-2, Viswanath Choudhary, PW-3, Vidya Sagar Shah, PW-4, Pankaj Kumar, PW-5, Subhash Chandra Prasad, PW-6, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Munna and PW-7, Pramila Devi. In the aforesaid Sessions Trial, seven witnesses have been examined and those are PW-1, Rani Kumari, PW-2, Viswanath Choudhary, PW-3, Vidya Sagar Shah, PW-4, Pankaj Kumar, PW-5, Subhash Chandra Prasad, PW-6, Dr. Mukesh Kumar Munna and PW-7, Pramila Devi.

It is further evident that in due course of time, appearance of Kedar Choudhary and Reena Jaiswal were procured followed with submission of supplementary chargesheet as a result of which Sessions Trial No. 275/2016 originated. It is further evident from the record that altogether 14 PWs have been examined. PW-1 Navin Choudhary, PW-2 Chandra Kishore Bhagat, PW-3, Mahesh Choudhary, PW-4 Vicky @ Vikash Kumar, PW-5, Vidhya Sagar, PW-6, Shivjee Mahto, PW-7, Pawan Choudhary, PW-8, Ratan Choudhary, PW-9, Vishwanath Choudhary, PW-10 Rani Kumari, PW-11, Pramila Devi, PW-12, Subhash Chandra Prasad, PW-13 Dr. Mukesh Kumar Munna and PW-14, Pankaj Kumar.

From the order-sheet dated 10.8.2017, it is evident that Sessions Trial No. of both cases came up before the same court of 2nd Additional Sessions Judge, Samastipur and that being so, by the judgment impugned both the Sessions Trial have been disposed of analogously, in the background of the fact that both the Sessions Trial originated from common PS Case bearing Patori P.S. Case No. 155/2013. 8. Heard learned counsel for the appellants as well as Additional APP. 9. Gone through the judgment impugned. From Paragraph 13 and onwards of the judgment impugned, it is evident that learned lower court had dealt with evidences of PWs and during course thereof, it is evident that basically the learned Lower Court had taken into consideration the evidence of PWs recorded under Sessions Trial No. 489/2013 without distinguishing the same relating to other Sessions Trial, i.e. Sessions Trial No. 275/2016 and that being so, neither examination-in-chief nor the cross-examination of the respective witnesses have been properly scrutinized relating to both the S.T. independently. That being so, there happens to be failure on the part of the learned Lower Court in properly appreciating the evidences having been adduced on behalf of prosecution as well as cross-examination having been made on behalf of appellants/accused. Apart from this, it is settled principle of law, more particularly, Section 273 of the Cr.P.C suggests that the evidence has to be recorded in presence of the accused, that means to say, the accused of Sessions Trial No. 489/2013 was not at all concerned with Sessions Trial No. 275/2016 and vice-versa whereupon the evidence of one Sessions Trial could not be used against the accused of another Sessions Trial irrespective of the fact that both the Sessions Trial had originated from a common police case. 10. That being so, the judgment impugned suffers from inherent lacuna whereupon could not be recognized in accordance with law and that being so, is set aside. Appeal is allowed. 11. The matter is remitted back to the learned lower court to decide both Sessions trial independently but on the same day within two weeks from the stage of argument. 12. The learned lower court will procure appearance of the appellants who are under custody.
