Legal Reasoning
Canal in front of Janta Brick Kiln, though prima facie is inculpatory. Though the recovery of the body of the deceased was made in pursuance to the respectively made disclosure statements by the accused, to which respectively Exhibits PE, PF and PJ become assigned. Further, though the accused led the investigating officer to the site, wherefrom the recovery of the body of the deceased became effectuated. However, the recovery as became effected of the body of the deceased, thus at the instance of the accused, rather is a feebly made recovery and therebys looses its creditworthiness, thus for the following reasons. i) Since in verdict rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Special Leave Petition (Criminal) No.863 of 2019, titled as “Perumal Raja @ Perumal V. State, Rep. By Inspector of Police”, decided on 03.01.2024, it has been declared that evidentiary tenacity is to be assigned to the relevant recovery but subject to the fact that it is made from a place known only to the accused. KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:23)(cid:4) ii) The relevant principles governing the assigning of creditworthiness become set forth in paragraphs 22 to 25 of the said verdict, paragraphs whereof become extracted hereinafter. 22. However, we must clarify that Section 27 of the Evidence Act, as held in these judgments, does not lay down the principle that discovery of a fact is to be equated to the object produced or found. The discovery of the fact resulting in recovery of a physical object exhibits knowledge or mental awareness of the person accused of the offence as to the existence of the physical object at the particular place. Accordingly, discovery of a fact includes the object found, the place from which it was produced and the knowledge of the accused as to its existence. To this extent, therefore, factum of discovery combines both the physical object as well as the mental consciousness of the informant accused in relation thereto. In Mohmed Inayatullah v. State of Maharashtra, elucidating on Section 27 of the Evidence Act, it has been held that the first condition imposed and necessary for bringing the section into operation is the discovery of a fact which should be a relevant fact in consequence of information received from a person accused of an offence. The second is that the discovery of such a fact must be deposed to. A fact already known to the police will fall foul and not meet this condition. The third is that at the time of receipt of the information, the accused must be in police custody. Lastly, it is only so much of information which relates distinctly to the fact thereby discovered resulting in recovery of a physical object which is admissible. Rest of the information is to be excluded. The word ‘distinctly’ is used to limit and define the scope of the information and means ‘directly’, ‘indubitably’, ‘strictly’ or ‘unmistakably’. Only that part of the information which is clear, immediate and a proximate cause of discovery is admissible. 23. The facts proved by the prosecution, particularly the admissible portion of the statement of the accused, would give rise to two alternative hypotheses, namely, (i) that the accused had himself deposited the physical items which were recovered; or (ii) only the accused knew that the physical items were lying at that place. The second hypothesis is wholly compatible with the innocence of the accused, whereas the first would be a factor to show involvement of the accused in the offence. The court has to KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:12)(cid:4) analyse which of the hypotheses should be accepted in a particular case. 24. Section 27 of the Evidence Act is frequently used by the police, and the courts must be vigilant about its application to ensure credibility of evidence, as the provision is vulnerable to abuse. However, this does not mean that in every case invocation of Section 27 of the Evidence Act must be seen with suspicion and is to be discarded as perfunctory and unworthy of credence. 25. The pre-requisite of police custody, within the meaning of Section 27 of the Evidence Act, ought to be read pragmatically and not formalistically or euphemistically. In the present case, the disclosure statement (Exhibit P-37) was made by the appellant – Perumal Raja @ Perumal on 25.04.2008, when he was detained in another case, namely, FIR No. 204/2008, registered at PS Grand Bazar, Puducherry, relating to the murder of Rajaram. He was subsequently arrested in this case, that is FIR. No.80/2008, which was registered at PS Odiansalai, Puducherry. The expression “custody” under Section 27 of the Evidence Act does not mean formal custody. It includes any kind of restriction, restraint or even surveillance by the police. Even if the accused was not formally arrested at the time of giving information, the accused ought to be deemed, for all practical purposes, in the custody of the police. (cid:10)(cid:10)(cid:10)1 Now the principles set forth thereins are that the defence, is required to be proving; a) That the disclosure statement and the consequent thereto recovery being forged or fabricated through the defence proving that the discovery of fact, as made in pursuance to a signatured disclosure statement made by the accused to the investigating officer, during the term of his custodial interrogation, rather not leading to the discovery of the incriminatory fact; b) That the fact discovered was planted; c) It was easily available in the market; KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:6)(cid:4) d) It not being made from a secluded place thus exclusively within the knowledge of the accused. e) The recovery thereof made through the recovery memo in pursuance to the making of a disclosure statement, rather not being enclosed in a sealed cloth parcel nor the incriminatory item enclosed therein becoming sent, if required, for analyses to the FSL concerned, nor the same becoming shown to the doctor concerned, who steps into the witness box for proving that with the user of the relevant recovery, thus resulted in the causings of the fatal ante mortem injuries or in the causing of the relevant life endangering injuries, as the case may be, borne upon the concerned. f) That the defence is also required to be impeaching the credit of the marginal witnesses, both to the disclosure statement and to the recovery memo by ensuring that the said marginal witnesses, do make speakings, that the recoveries were not made in their presence and by making further speakings that they are compelled, tutored or coerced by the investigating officer concerned, to sign the apposite memos. Conspicuously, despite the fact that the said recovery memos were not made in pursuance to the accused leading the investigating officer to the site of recovery. Contrarily the recovery memo(s) becoming prepared in the police station concerned. g) The defence adducing evidence to the extent that with there being an immense gap inter se the making of the signatured disclosure statement and the consequent thereto recovery being made, KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:24)(cid:4) that therebys the recovered items or the discovered fact, rather becoming planted onto the relevant site, through a stratagem employed by the investigating officer. 45. Since the present recovery becomes foul of the said principles, but on anvil of the trite echoing occurring, thus in the last portion of the cross examination of the investigating officer concerned, who stepped into the witness box as PW-10, inasmuch as, the said echoing becomes wrapped in the witness (supra) but acquiescing to a suggestion made to him by the learned defence counsel, that the effectuation of the recovery of the body of the deceased, thus was from an open and accessible place. Resultantly when therebys, the body of the deceased but is to be presumed to be earlier sighted by the investigating officer and/or by some other persons, who intimated the police, therebys also, when the site of the recovery was also within the knowledge of persons other than the accused, therebys, there was no exclusive knowledge with the accused qua the site of the recovery nor therebys any evidentiary effect can be assigned to the above nor the same has any inculpatory effect.

The result of the above discussion, is that, this Court finds merit in the appeal(s) (supra), and, is constrained to allow the same. Consequently, the appeals are allowed. The impugned judgment convicting, and, sentencing the appellants, as becomes recorded by the learned trial Judge concerned, is quashed, and, set aside.

Arguments
The learned counsel for the aggrieved convicts/appellants herein, have vigorously argued before this Court, that the impugned verdict of conviction, and consequent therewith sentences (supra), as imposed, upon the convicts/appellants, both become ridden with a gross infirmity of gross mis/appreciation, and non/appreciation of the evidence, existing on record. Therefore, they have argued that the appeal be accepted, and, the verdict, as challenged before this Court, be quashed, and set aside. ,"826(cid:22)(cid:22)6(cid:26)(cid:27)(cid:22)(cid:3)(cid:26)3(cid:3)45(cid:21)(cid:3)7(cid:21)0(cid:23)(cid:27)(cid:21)(cid:25)(cid:3),404(cid:21)(cid:3)(cid:8)(cid:26)"(cid:27)(cid:22)(cid:21)7(cid:20) 18.

The said witness was subjected to an ordeal of a scathing cross examination.

He further admitted a suggestion made to him by the learned defence counsel, that deceased Ravi Bahadur, was employed as a driver on the said vehicle about 10/ 15 days prior to the relevant occurrence taking place.

The crime vehicle is stated by the prosecution as well as by the complainant, to be thus owned by the complainant. However, the supra assertion of ownership over the crime vehicle, as made by the complainant rather becomes paled from a) PW/6 conceding to a suggestion made to him by the learned defence counsel during the course of his becoming subjected to cross examination, that as a matter of fact the complainant Baghirath Lal had borrowed the vehicle of his relations. b) from Ravi Bahadur becoming purportedly employed by him on the said vehicle about 10 to 15 days prior to the crime event taking place, especially when no cogent evidence in respect thereof became adduced.

However, he further stated that under a power of attorney/affidavit which became executed by him, therebys, he transferred the crime vehicle to the complainant one Baghirath Lal. The said affidavit became tendered into evidence and theretos Exhibit PX became assigned and the signatures as exists thereons also were admitted by him to be his authentic signatures. However, he stated that he had not seen the original of Ex. PX, besides also stated that he is not personally known to Baghirath Lal. In addition, he further testified in his examination/in/ chief that Baghirath Lal rather had never informed him about the crime vehicle becoming stolen. 24. Now further bearing in mind the facts as become detailed in points b and c (supra), the inferences therefroms are that : i) the statement of the complainant was both an invention and a concoction. ii) the crime vehicle did not as a matter of fact ever arrive at the crime site nor did it became stolen. iii) The deceased never becoming employed as a driver over the crime vehicle by Baghirath Lal. 25. The reasons for mobilizing the supra inferences further ensue from: KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:22)(cid:23)(cid:4) a) A closest reading of the date of execution of power of attorney/affidavit, photocopy whereof, became tendered into evidence by PW/14, and, to which Exhibit PX is assigned, rather reveals that it was executed on 27.08.2001, which is however a date subsequent to the crime event taking place. Though, the execution of the supra power of attorney/affidavit, thus is evidently on a date subsequent to the date when the crime event rather happened, but though the supra may not lead to a further inference that there was yet never earlier theretos, thus parting of possession of the crime vehicle from PW/14 to Baghirath Lal. However, some echoing in the said regard was required to be occurring in Ex. PX. Nonetheless, the said occurring is not made thereins. Moreover, when PW/6 in his cross examination admits, that the crime vehicle had been borrowed by the complainant Baghirath Lal from his relations, yet when the said fact is not spoken by PW/14 in his examination/in/chief. Therefore, it appears that the supra affidavit was an invention or a concoction, so as to fabricate a false story about the genesis of the crime event. b) The deceased never becoming employed on the crime vehicle by Baghirath Lal. c) The crime vehicle though may have been stolen but since PW/14 admits in his cross examination, that Baghirath Lal did not intimate him, about the crime vehicle becoming stolen, therebys, it has to be concluded, that the assumption of possession over the crime KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:22)(cid:12)(cid:4) vehicle purportedly by Baghirath Lal rather becoming engulfed in a cloud of suspicion. 26. Necessarily therebys benefit of doubt is to be assigned to the accused. Conspicuously also therebys the theory of last seen together of the accused and deceased, as propagated by the prosecution, looses its credit worthiness. 27. The inspector of the Delhi Police who had seized the crime vehicle at Shanti Bann Chowk, Delhi, stepped into the witness box as PW/11, and though supported the fact, that the crime vehicle becoming seized through memo Exhibit PS, thus, whereons the signatures of the accused exists. However, neither the disclosure(s) as made by the accused Padampreet Singh, in the recovery memo Exhibit PS, that the crime vehicle was stolen, besides nor the echoings made in the further disclosure statement as made by the said accused, to which Exhibit PJ became assigned, rather manifesting that the said accused confessed his guilt in murdering the deceased Ravi Bahadur, thus gather any credit worthiness. The reason for so stating becomes grooved in the hereafter premises. a) since the genesis of the prosecution case, relating to the assumption of possession initially by complainant Baghirath Lal and subsequently by the accused who had taken the crime vehicle to Delhi and wherefroms PW/11 / S.I. Neeraj Kumar, made the seizure of the crime vehicle, when becomes enveloped in a grave shroud of doubt. Resultantly when for the supra reason, this Court has also fortifyingly KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:22)(cid:6)(cid:4) concluded, that the story propagated by the prosecution, that the crime vehicle was stolen rather becomes belied by the owner of crime vehicle, who stepped into the witness box as PW/14. Consequently, the evidentiary effectivity, qua the accused in his disclosure statement making a confession, that he had stolen the crime vehicle, besides of the further confession as made thereins by him, that he had murdered the deceased, rather loosing their respective creditworthiness. b) The fortifying reason for so concluding becomes generated from the fact, that since the arrival of the crime vehicle at Surya Palace, Mansa, has but fallen into grave suspicion, besides the fact that it was allegedly stolen when also becomes engulfed in a grave shroud of doubt. Therefore, concomitantly and reiteratedly, the last seen together theory of the accused and the deceased at Surya Palace, Mansa, whereafters the crime vehicle being not seen, excepting it becoming seized, in Delhi, besides the deceased who was allegedly driving the crime vehicle also not being seen thereafter, but all do loose their evidentiary tenacity. c) Emphatically, if Baghirath Lal, had not assumed either lawful ownership nor had assumed any possession over the crime vehicle, therebys, rather when PW/6 in his cross examination concedes that the complainant Baghirath Lal, thus had borrowed the crime vehicle from one of his relations, who obviously is PW/14. Resultantly, the above stand is but contradictory to the story propagated by the prosecution, that Baghirath Lal was the owner of the vehicle and KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:22)(cid:24)(cid:4) the said vehicle had been stolen and which had been ultimately recovered besides became seized through recovery memo Exhibit PS. In sequel, the supra contradiction but completely jettisons, the truth of the prosecution case, wherefrom an inevitable conclusion ensues, that on the basis of a falsely made charge, besides on the basis of invented evidence, thus the accused have been convicted. 28. Since this Court for reasons supra has concluded that PW/ 14 was the owner of the crime vehicle, therebys, if the crime vehicle was borrowed by Baghirath Lal, from PW/14, therebys, the deceased is deemed to be employed on the crime vehicle by PW/14, unless evidence surged forth, suggestive that the complainant Baghirath Lal after purportedly borrowing the crime vehicle from PW/14, had employed the deceased Ravi Bahadur as a driver thereons. The said evidence is abysmally lacking. The absence of the supra evidence leads to a conclusion that the prosecution has concocted a false story, that the deceased Ravi Bahadur, thus arrived at the venue of the marriage located at Surya Palace, Mansa, and also has further concocted a story that Ravi Bahadur was engaged as a driver on the crime vehicle. 29. The further ensuing effects therefrom but, is that, fortifyingly the theory of last seen together of the accused and deceased, when for reasons supra looses its creditworthiness, therebys also the police but making a shoddy and skewed probe, about the persons concerned, who had in fact murdered deceased Ravi Bahadur.

Now assuming that there is some fallacy in the above inference, therebys, the said fallacy would have acquired some momentum, but only when some of the members of the family of deceased Ravi Bahadur, had been cited as prosecution witnesses, so as to enable them to state, that as a matter of fact, deceased Ravi Bahadur was employed as a driver over the crime vehicle. Even the said evidence is amiss, whereas, if the said evidence had appeared on record, therebys, this Court may have concluded, that the deceased had been employed as a driver over the crime vehicle, wherebys also, this Court would have concluded that the theory of last seen together of the accused and the deceased, as propagated by the prosecution, but acquired some aura of truth. 31. Since the said evidence is amiss, therebys, this court fortifyingly concludes that the prosecution has raised a false story that deceased was engaged as a driver over the crime vehicle by the complainant Baghirath Lal. Resultantly therebys, the theory of last seen together of the accused and the deceased also suffers emasculation. 32. Additionally, since the police has not been able to collect the driving license of the deceased Ravi Bahadur. Since the collection of the driving license of the deceased Ravi Bahadur, by the investigating officer concerned, was of grave importance. However, when the driving license of the deceased Ravi Bahadur, thus personifying that as a matter of fact he was fit to be engaged as driver over the crime vehicle rather remains uncollected, therebys, it has to be KAVNEET SINGH 2025.01.29 13:28 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document (cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:4)(cid:6)(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:4)(cid:5)(cid:9)(cid:4)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:11)(cid:12)(cid:13)(cid:14)(cid:15)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:18)(cid:15)(cid:15)(cid:19)(cid:17)(cid:20)(cid:19)(cid:16)(cid:13)(cid:17)(cid:14)(cid:21)(cid:19)(cid:21) (cid:4)(cid:22)(cid:8)(cid:4) concluded that Ravi Bahadur was not fit to drive the crime vehicle nor could he be seen to drive the crime vehicle. 33. Moreover, even the relations of the deceased became not joined in the relevant investigations, so that therebys, they could become enabled to reveal to the investigating officer concerned, thus the Motor Licensing Authority concerned, who had issued any driving license to the deceased. Resultantly the absence(s) of the collections of the above best evidence by the investigating officer concerned, thus suggestive that the deceased Ravi Bahadur, had been employed as a driver over the crime vehicle by Baghirath Lal, but necessarily fosters a conclusion, that the complainant, had never engaged the deceased as a driver over the crime vehicle nor also the said deceased could ever have been sighted to occupy the driver's seat of the crime vehicle. 34. Furthermore, also therebys, the theory of last seen together of the accused and the deceased at Suraya Palace, Mansa, appears to be a falsely propagated theory by the prosecution so as to falsely implicate the accused.
