@JUDGMENTTAG-ORDER
Birendra Pd. Verma, J.@mdashAfter having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf
of the State and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the opposite party no. 2, this Court does not find any good and cogent reason to
interfere with the impugned judgment dated 30th July, 2008 passed in Sessions Trial No. 21 of 1998 by the learned Additional District & Sessions
Judge, Fast Track Court No. IV, Samastipur, acquitting the opposite party no. 2 for the charges u/s 302/ 34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is
relevant to mention here that originally two persons, namely, opposite party no. 2 and one Niranjan Jha were put on trial, but in course of the trial
the aforesaid Niranjan Jha passed away and, therefore, the criminal trial against him was dropped by order dated 27.7.2006.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner has strenuously argued the matter at great length and has submitted that though I.O., who conducted the
investigation and submitted charge-sheet, and the doctor, who conducted post-mortem examination on the dead body of the deceased, have not
been examined, but eight prosecution witnesses were examined who have supported the prosecution case. According to learned counsel, even if
the I.O. and the doctor have not been examined on behalf of the prosecution, yet on the basis of the materials/evidence produced by the
prosecution, the opposite party no. 2 should have been held guilty and should have been convicted for the charges framed against him.
3. It is true that family members of the deceased has come forward to support the prosecution case, but in absence of the examination of the I.O.
and the doctor, the place of occurrence as also the manner of occurrence have not been proved beyond all reasonable shadow of doubts.
Therefore, the learned trial court has rightly given the benefit of doubts to the accused-opposite party no. 2 and acquitted him for the charges.
4. In the given facts of this case, this Court is not inclined to exercise its revisional jurisdiction for setting aside and reversing the impugned judgment
of acquittal. Consequently, the application has to fail and is, accordingly dismissed.
