(2.) Shortly put, the prosecution case is that on 26.06.1997 at about 5.30 a.m. when the defacto complainant's sole son Dinesh Chandra Roy, aged about 13 years, being accompanied by his maternal grandmother (P.W. 2) went to the river-bed of river Kumlai to tether cow, all on a sudden accused Amar Chandra Roy appeared there and stabbed him with a knife resulting in his hospitalisation at Jalpaiguri Hospital and therefrom to N.B.M.C&H., Siliguri where he succumbed to injuries on 12.07.1997. Hence, the accused was charged under section 326/304 IPC.
