(2.) An appeal was thereafter taken by the accused to the High Court. The High Court maintained the conviction of A.1 to A.6 and A.8 and acquitted the other accused.

(3.) Two appeals have been filed against the order of the High Court, one by the convicted accused in Crl.A. No. 584/2008 and the second Crl.A. Nos. 767-768/2008 by PW.1 the daughter of the complainant seeking a reversal of the High Court's judgment insofar as some of the accused had been acquitted and as the complainant had died before the evidence could be recorded in the trial Court. Leave has been granted in both these matters and we have heard the Learned Counsel for the parties today in extenso.
