JUDGEMENT

(1.) This Court vide this judgment examines the following grave question of law:

(2.) The petitioner before this Court, by way of present petition, has sought the following prayers:

(3.) An inmate of a Hostel in Kottayam, Kerala was found dead in the well on 27/3/1992 and the local police had registered the crime No. 187/92 as 'unnatural death' on the basis of the statement given by 'X '. Though the Central Bureau of Investigation had entertained reasonable doubt as to whether death of deceased was suicide or homicide as evident from the final report submitted before the Court on 29/11/1996, the Kochi unit of the very same investigating agency took a different stand in concluding that the death was homicide. The investigating agency arrayed the petitioner as the third accused with two other co-accused persons.
