(1.) HEARD learned counsel for the appellants and learned Additional Government Advocate. A prayer for bail has been made in this criminal appeal, which has been filed against a judgment and order dated 11.11.2010 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge/F.T.C. No. 1, Kannauj convicting and sentencing the appellants to life imprisonment under Section 412, I.P.C. in S.T. No. 11 of 1996.
(2.) IT is submitted by the learned counsel for the appellants that In the present case the appellants have been acquitted under Section 396, I.P.C. and only convicted under Section 412, I.P.C. and sentenced to imprisonment for life. It is further submitted that the appellants may not have the knowledge that the truck in which they are travelling was a looted property after commission of the offence. The contents of the F.I.R. lodged by the injured Surendra Singh cannot be read as they do not relate to the death of the injured, who died subsequently and could not be examined. There was thus no legal evidence to establish the identity of the appellants as the persons who have committed this offence.
(3.) THE police constables then took the injured persons to police station Chhibramau where the report was lodged at 8.10 p.m. on the same day, i.e., 16.12.1995. Consequent to the wireless message sent by the police station, the truck alongwith the six accused persons were apprehended at 8.45 p.m. by the police of Mohammadabad.
