JUDGEMENT

(1.) Heard on admission.

(2.) Prosecution case, in brief, is that on 31/1/2011, Santosh Kumar Patel, Railway Porter, by way of Morgue No. 11/2011, informed at Police Station Narsinghpur that between Kareli and Narsinghpur, on the 895/0 Uptrack No. 274, dead body of a person aged about 35 years was lying. During investigation, the dead body was identified to be that of Bharat Lodhi and it surfaced that 11/2 months prior to the date of incident, an altercation had taken place between mother of Bharat and respondent nos. 2 and 3 and to wreak vengeance, the respondents had killed Bharat by Axe and Screwdriver and for causing disappearance of the corresponding evidence, had thrown his dead body on the Railway Track.
