MEENA Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the appellants, Shri Sudhanshu Singh, learned counsel for the complainant and learned Additional Government Advocate and perused the record of the case.

(2.) SINCE both the aforementioned criminal appeals have been filed against a judgement and order dated 18.8.2010 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Court No. 13, Bareilly in ST No. 280 of 2004 convicting and sentencing the appellants to life imprisonment under sections 302/34, 201 IPC and fine, the prayer for bail in both the appeals is being considered and disposed of by means of this common order.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the appellant Meena argued that the Angachha of the deceased had been recovered at the instance of Meena only on 5.6.2003, i.e. 50 days after the alleged incident and no reliance could be placed on mere recovery of Angauchha. Thus, only a shaky evidence of last seen was revealed against Meena.
