In default of payment of fine, he was further directed to undergo rigorous imprisonment for six months.

(2.) I have heard arguments and examined the record.

(3.) FROM Ex. P. 14 it further transpires that accused Jujhar Singh pointed the place of occurrence and from there the entire way through which the dead body was taken to river Sevna and he disclosed that they went through the fields of Lakshman Singh, Mehtab Singh and Akram Khan and reached the bank of river Sevna where he pointed by his hand the place where the dead body of Akram Khan was lying concealed tied with a stone.
