ROOP SINGH Vs. STATE OF UP

JUDGEMENT

(1.) AMAR Saran, J. Heard Shri P. K. Singh, learned Counsel for the applicant and Shri Shashi Dhar Tripathi, learned Additional Government Advocate representing the State.

(2.) BY means of this application the applicant has challenged an order dated 4-12-2007 passed by the Special Judge, SC/st. (Act), Kanpur Dehat in ST No. 6 of 2006 whereby the learned trial Judge has permitted the re-examination of P. W. 8, Mijaji Lal.

(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the applicant, however, drew my attention to the state ment of P. W. 8 Mijaji Lal. I find that in his cross-examination Mijaji Lal has virtu ally suggested that he has given evidence at the instance of the police, who had apprehended him and that he had been confined to the police station on the night before his examination and threats were even extended to him. He further stated that on the night of incident, he was sleeping in his house and only learnt about the incident the next morning and he had gone to the spot. He denied having a gas lamp at his place.
