ANARUL SK Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This appeal is directed against the judgment of conviction nd sentence passed on 17th June 2002 by Sri Jagarnath Mishra, Additional District & Sessions Judge, Pakur in Sessions Trial No. 242 of 1998/ 43 of 1998, whereby the sole Appellant has been found guilty for committing the offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and, thereby, he has been sentenced to undergo R.I. for life. He has also been convicted for the offence under Section 27 of the Arms Act and has been sentenced to undergo R.I. for 6 years on that account. However, both the sentences were directed to be run concurrently.

(2.) The prosecution case, in brief, is as follows:

(3.) Mr. D.K. Prasad, Learned Counsel appearing for the Appellant, assailed the impugned judgment on various grounds. He submitted that the medical evidence does not corroborate the ocular evidence of PW-8, i.e. the informant. He further submitted that no blood stain was found at the place of occurrence, which appears to be wholly unnatural and, therefore, the prosecution has not proved the place of occurrence also.
