In pursuance of the conspiracy hatched in the earlier

occasions A13, A20, A24 and another accused namely M.K.Asharaf (not charge

A32, 436 and A37 are in judicial custody. During the trial A35 and A29 were

the

the final report,

stating that further investigation is going on against the

i"7

accused who are not charge sheeted. After filing the final reports the
prosecution has re-arranged the rank of those accused who are not charge
sheeted and arraigned them as A38 to A54.

11. As per order dated 17.4.201-3 my learned predecessor in office

ordered the proceedings to be held in camera. on the side

of

prosecution pws

to 304 were examined and marked Exts.Pl to p901. Ext. C1 to C56 were also
marked and identified Mos 1 to 227. Exts.Dl to D25 were marked during the
exa

mination

of

prosecution witnesses.

on

completion

of the

prosecution

evidence the accused were examined under Section 313 of Cr.p.C. They denied
all the incriminating circumstances brought out in evidence against them. They

stated that they are innocent and filed separate statements. Thereupon the
prosecution and the accused were heard under section 232 cr.p.c. since there
was no scope for acquittal under the said section the accused were directed

t-o

enter upon their defence and to examine witnesses if any. Accordingly, four
witnesses were examined as DW1 to DW4. Exts.D26 and D27 were marked on

26,,r.
the side of the defence. Exts.c57 and c58 were also marked. PW35

was

recalled and cross examined by the accused' Thereupon the prosecution filed
application under Section 311 of Cr.P.C. seeking permission to examine a Police
Circle Inspector as witness. That petition was allowed and he was examined as
PW3O5 and Ext.P9O2 was marked. A5 was again examined under Section 313
Cr.P.C. on

certain points. Again the prosecution and the defence were heard and

having found that there is no scope for acquittal under Section 232 of Cr.P.C. the
defence was directed to adduce further evidence if any. But they did not adduce

any evidence. At this stage the learned Public Prosecutor filed another
application under Section 31L Cr.P.C.

to

issue summons

to an additional

witness. After hearing both sides that petition was also allowed and that witness
was examined PW306. PW27L was recalled suomoto. He was further examined
and two documents were marked as Exts.C59 and C60.
12. Here the points that arise for consideration are:1. Was an

unlawful assembly formed on 4.7.2010 with the common object

of committing criminal offences and if so, whether accused Nos.2, 3 and 5

to 7 were members of the said unlawful assembly?

2. Did accused Nos. 2, 3 and 5 to 7 commit rioting; and if so, was any of

them at that time armed with any deadly weapon?

3.

PW2 is not challenged by the defence.

and

Pws 3 to 8 regarding

the injuries of

lt is true that the learned counsel for the

accused has challenged the presence of PW3 at the place of incident. That is

not a ground to reject the evidence tendered by the independent witnesses

regarding the injuries of PW2. Further Pws 5, 7 to

1-0

and 158 have specifically

stated about the recovery of the severed hand from the property of PW10. The

evidence

of these

witnesses regarding the injuries

of

PW2

is

sufficiently

supported by PW1B0, PW181 and PW265 the Medical Officers and Specialists
who had examined PW2. I do not find any reason to disbelieve the evidence
tendered by these witnesses about the injuries of PW2. There is convincing
evidence to show that PW2 had sustained grievous injuries. His right hand was
chopped off. There were six multiple fractures on the right forearm. Apart from
these injuries there were multiple lacerated injuries with tissue loss on the right

multiple deep lacerated injury on the left leg, lacerated wound on the

regarding conspiracy, harbouring, terrorist activities etc, Nodal officers of

mobile phone service providers, police officers, other Government officials,
experts and attestors to various mahazars were examined. pws 294 and 295
have admitted that a team was formed by the higher authorities to assist them

in investigation. I shall briefly discuss the

evidence tendered by the police

officers who were in the investigation team, the other officers, experts and the
second phase of investigation conducted by pw 294 and the other officers who
led the investigation team.

Then he shuffled the photos in the album and called pw1 and asked whether

she can identify any of the photograph. After going through the album she

identified photos of three persons. After repeating the same procedure. he

obtained her signature in those three photographs. Then she was sent out and
detained in another room without giving any chance to see the other witnesses.
Then he reshuffled the photographs and repeated the same procedure for the

know that there was no such person. According to

the prosecution, ihe said
motor cycle was purchased by one Noushad (not charge

is no charge against that accused I do not want to
make any discussion on this
point.

teacher.
He is a member of rmams councir. He was the president of Nationar
Democrat,c

Front, Muvattupuzha unit. He stated that he does not remember as

to whether

he was succeeded by AB yunous Aliyar" Further he admitted that his mobire

phone was seized by the police. He denied that one Luthufulla had
sent a sMS

to him promoting enmity between different religions. pw169 Anwar

sadath,

who is a lecturer in MES college, Marampilly denied that he had attended the
conspiracy meeting held at the residence of pw157 at Kakkanad on 3.7.2010. ln

reply to a suggestion put by the learned public prosecutor, this witness stated

that he does not know anything about such a meeting. Further he denied
having participated in the protest march conducted by pFl against the arrest of
some of the accused in this case. The evidence of these two witnesses would

not help the prosecution to prove any of the charge levelled against any of the
accused.

92. The next question to be decided is the identity of the assailants. pws

to 4 have stated about the incident which took place on 4.7.20!0. The learned
counsel for the accused challenged the presence of pw3 at the spot and stated

that she had no opportunity to see the incident. According to him she is
planted witness. Pws 2 and 3 stated

that

together to the church to attend the Holy Mass and returned to their house in
their WagonR car with their mother.

pressing a woman towards the wall and 3-4 persons dragging a man towarcls

the compound wall. He stated that when PW5 reached there, they rushed to the
spot and found PW2 with injuries. Thereupon, himself and PW5 lifted PW2 with

the help of PW3 and PW4 to the wagon

of PW8 who is an

independent witness is supported by PW5. According to PW5, PW2 was taken to

the car with the help of Pws 3 and 4. PW6 Nibin Lukka who took the injured to

94' The learned counsel for the accused argued that there was
a deliberate
move on the part of the police to suprpress the true state of
facts and the

originar statement recorded by them. According

to him, the information

received by the police at the time of recording the first information

statement
and also the statements of witnesses recorded by pW215,

of

Piravom and pw294 circle Inspector

of

the circle Inspector

Muvattupuzha was that some

unKnown persons wearing masks had attacked pw2. In order to suppress that

fact, the police had concocted stories to the effect that the assailants were
previously known to them and there had been some attempts on previous
occasions. The first information to the police, according to the learned counsel

for the accused, was that the offence was committed by two persons who had
covered their faces with masks. To substantiate this contention he has pointed

out the information contained in Ext.p3l"g, the mahazar for the recovery of the
logbook maintained in the Office of the Police Telecommunications at Aluva. He

has argued that the prosecution has suppressed the original

logbook

maintained in that office to make it appear that the assailants were previously
known to the witnesses. According to the learned counsel for the accused the
entries made in the logbook, if produced would show that pw2 was attacked by

two persons who were wearing masks. But the police, when realized the fact
that the entry in the logbook will put them in trouble and in such a situation it

*ill

be.difficult to prove the identity of the assailants, hur rrppr"rred that

logbook. \.,

in the office of

101

Police Telecommunications, Aluva deposed about

the information received by

him during the'zatta'held on 4.7.201'0. According to him, on that day he had

received intimation through the wireless set about the attack on Professor
Joseph and that the assailants had escaped from the spot in a white Maruthi
omni van. lt is clearfrom the evidence of this witness that during the'zatta'the
Superintendent of Police used to discuss matters with his subordinate officers in

the district every day relating to the investigation of cases and the law and
order situation.

lt is his duty to record the details of the information

received

during the 'zatta' in the logbook, on specific directions. He need not record each
and every information passed though 'zatta'.

96. Though the logbook is not produced by the prosecution, the relevant

entry in the logbook is seen reproduced in Ext.P318 mahazar. According to

PW243, as per the instructions of the investigating officer he went to the office

of Police Telecommunications, Aluva and recovered the logbook as per Ext.P3LB

mahazar. Since that document was required for the day to day affairs of that
office it was returned to the concerned officer on kacheet. Then he recorded the

statements of the Sub Inspector of Telecommunications Sri.Babu V.Jose (PW232)

and Police Constable Ansar (PW233). PW186 Davis A.A, Asst. Sub Inspector,
Police Telecommunications and another police official attached

to that office

had signed in Ext.P318 mahazar as witnesses.

97. lt is seen from Ext.P318 that the intimation received on 4.7.2010 at

8.37am was that Professor of Thodupuzha Newman College was attacked by

ns wearing masks and that they escaped from the spot in a white
ni van bearing No.KL.07.AD.7201. Merely because of the reason that
on did not produce the logbook, it cannot be inferred that the said

1.02

logbook was suppressed by the prosecution. Had there been any

such intention
on the part of the prosecution to suppress those facts, they could
have withherd
Ext.P318 mahazar which contains the rerevant portion in the rogbook. pw1g6,

the ASI who is working in that office has specificaily stated that since
the
logbook was required for their office purpose, they got
f

it

back from the sub

nspector who had verified the same. pw243 arso supported the
versions of

PW186 that the logbook was returned since

it was required for day to day office

purpose. This explanation given by pW243 for not producing

the logbook
appears to be genuine. simply because of the reason that the prosecution
did

not produce the logbook, I cannot say that the intention of the prosecution
was

to

suppress material facts before the court. whereas the production

of

Ext.P318 which contains the relevant portion of the logbook itself would prove

that the prosecution had no such intention to suppress any document or to

hide
the real facts.
98. The learned public prosecutor submitted that though there is such a

mistake in noting the information passed in ,zatta',

it

would not affect the

genuineness of the prosecution case. According to him, it was not an authentic

version regarding the incident. He pointed out that the normal procedure

that,

on getting

an

is

information from the control room it will be passed to all

the police stations for taking immediate action. lt is clear from the versions of
PW233 that during 'zatta' the informations wlll be passed in a brief manner.

After getting those informations, they will record the same in their

own

language. According to the prosecution, the information passed on 4.7.2016

103

Perurnbavoor deposed that on that day ai 8.15 am, whilc altending

'lati!'ihey

got inforrnation about the attack on PW2. According to PWIBB, as per the
instructions given by the Superintendent of Police during 'zatta' to check all
white omni vans, he started from the police station for vehicle checking. While

coming out of the police station he met PW236 the Circle Inspector who
directed him to conduct vehicle checking at Vattakkattupady area. He reached

at Vattakkattupady at 8.30 am and started vehicle checking duty. PW236 also

supported the versions
PW188

to

of

PW188 and stated

conduct vehicle checking

that he gave instructions to

duty. Then he proceeded towards

the

perumbavoor KSRTC bus stand and started vehicle checking duty near the bus

stand. From the evidence of these two witnesses it is clear that they received

the intimation at about 8.15 am itself. These two witnesses have no case that

the

assailants of PW2 were wearing masks. In Ext.P321 mahazar prepared by

pW18B at the time of the seizure of the omni van at Vattakkattupady, he has

specifically stated that he received the intimation about the attack on

Prof.

Joseph at 8.15 am and he reached the spot at 8.30 am. This mahazar is seen

produced in the court on the next working day itself. From the evidence of these

two witnesses and from Ext.P321 it is clear that information regarding the
attack on PW2 was passed from the office of Superintendent of Police at about
8.15am itself. In this circumstance the evidence tendered by PW11 Freddy

is

also relevant. His version is that on hearing the sound of explosion he rushed
towards that place and on the way he was asked by PW1 to call police. so he

None

of the witnesses has a case that they passed information that

the

assailants were wearing masks. Merely because of the reason that some
entries were made in the logbook, I cannot say that it was recorded in the same
words of the police officer who had passed the information. lt is clear from the
versions of PW233 that they will record the informations and instructions given

in the 'zatta' in the logbook in brief and in their own words. In

these

circumstances I cannot say that the entries in the logbook regarding the attack
on PW2 were true or correct. lt is very pertinent to note that nobody has a case

that the assailants came to the spot by covering their face with mask. PWB who

is an independent witness, who deposed that he saw some of the assailants

dragging the injured towards the compound wall, has no case that it was done
by the assailants who were wearing masks. Merely because of the reason that

such an entry was made in the log book maintained in the office of
Telecommunications,

it cannot be taken as an authentic version. Pwsl to 4

have no such case that the assailants had masks.

99. PW243 has specifically stated that after handing over the severed hand

to PW3 he returned to the place of incident and on the way he had informed the
Superintendent of Police about the attack

on

Professor Joseph. He has no case

that he had given intimation to the Superintendent of Police that the assailants
were wearing masks. In view of the evidence of the ocular witnesses I can very

well say that it was a mistake committed while recording the information that
was a wrong information passed without verifying the

s of the same. At that time the only intention of the police was to
ilants.

lt

is ,glear from the evidence that some informalion has

Ext.P31B
stated that he had copied the relevant paragraphs in the logbook in
prepared by him and returned the original since it was required for the

mahazar

that the
day to day affairs. ln the circumstances I cannot accept the contention
prosecution has deliberately suppressed the logbook with an intention

to

cover

up the actual events and that all the entries in the lo9 book were true and
correct.

100.|tisarguedbythe|earnedcounse|fortheaccusedthatPW243,the
sub Inspector, when realised the difficulties that may arise due to the entry in
the log book, deliberately omitted the portion regarding masks in Ext'P2, the so
called first information statement. The contention of the defence counsel is that
Ext.P2 is a statement recorded by the Sub Inspector

of Police, after collecting

infOrmation from the local people who had gathered at the place of incident to

cover up the

fact that the assailants had covered their faces with masks.

According to him, the information recorded by PW233 at 8.37am in the log book
is the first information statement and therefore Ext.P2 Fl statement cannot be

looked into.

lt is already found that the log book entry is not an authentic

version about the attack and there is no evidence regarding the source of that

information passed through the wireless set.

ln this circumstance

the

..'' l;aidi.rrnents put forward by the learned counsel for the accused on this point will
ngt sustain.

discuss the rnattei: with pw3 nri{i pir.t from the l-rcspital *lrd ti-re pEr:*i,.:;
gathered at the place of incident. Even then he did not record the statement

ot,

those persons. According to him Ext.p2 is a statement recorded by him after

collecting details and hence it cannot be accepted. pw243 has stated that he
had collected some details from the persons who had gathered at the place of

incident. His specific case is that he got information about the incident at 8.10

am over phone. He recorded the same in General Diary and then

gave

intimation to the circle Inspectorand Dy.sp. By 9.15 am he reached atthe spot.

At the time of cross examination he has made it clear that the information
received by him when he reached the spot was not sufficient for registering

case. His version is that when he reached at the place of occurrence pw5 had

handed over the severed hand

to him and immediately he rushed to

the

hospital with that severed hand and entrusted the same to pw3 as directed by

the medical officer. At that time pw2 was not in a position to give a statement.
PW180

the Doctor who had examined pw2 from the hospital has stated that

after giving first aid PW2 was referred to the specialists' hospital. Ernakulam. In

such a situation he cannot detain pW3 or pW4 and ask them to give

statement. so he came back to the place of incident. But he could not find pwL
at the spot. Therefore he went to the house of pwL and recorded the statement

given by her. On going through the explanation given by pW243, I cannot say
that there had been laches on his part in recording the Fl statement in time. His

first concern was to take the severed hand to the hospital. I do not find any

there is inorclinate rlelay in producing Ext.P2 trefer"e the

flti

gtttng

through Ext.p2 and Ext.P585 FlR, I could find that it was received in the office of
the.ludicial First Class Magistrate on 5.7.2010 at 11 am. The learned counsel for

the accused relied on the decision of our Hon'ble High court in Biju v. state

of Kerala 2O]-2 (41

KLT

382 and argued that the intervening holidays for the

court is not at all a ground justifying the delay in the FIR reaching the
Magistrate. Dealing with the delay in sending the FIR to the Magistrate and its
consequences, the Hon'ble High Court in that decision held that the FIR should

reach the Magistrate immediately and without undue delay. In

Rajastan v. Theja singh

state of

(2001) 3 scc 147 the Hon'ble supreme court

held that the explanation put forth by the learned counsel in regard to the delay

in the FIR reaching the court is not tenable because assuming that there were
some court holidays, that cannot be a ground for the delay in the FIR reaching

the Magistrate, because requirement of law is that the FIR should reach the
concerned Magistrate without any undue delay. According

to the

counsel delay provides legitimate chances for suspicion of the FlR, as

sufficient time

to the

prosecution

to

learned

it

offer

introduce improvement and

embellishments. ln Biju's case (supra) our Hon'ble High Court has made it clear

that mere delay in sending the

FIR

to the Magistrate is not a ground

for

throwing away the prosecution case if the evidence adduced in the case
found to be credible and unimpeachable. The significance of sending the

is

FIR

immediately and without delay to the Magistrate cannot be over emphasised as

it has.a vital and valuable role to be played in a criminal trial. ln Shivaram and

c:

filillq

would not demolish the other credible evidence on record. lt would only show

how in such a serious crime, the investigating officer was not careful and
prompt as

it

ought to be. In Arjun Marik and others

(1994 (1) KLT S.N.33

v. state of Bihar

Case No.3Z) the Hon'bte Supreme Courr pointed

out the delay in sending the FIR to the Magistrate and held that if such
practice

is prevalent it must be deprecated and it is high time that

the

authorities concerned should woke up and see that the provisions of section
157 cr.P.c. are complied with, in letter and

spirit.

In that ruling what is held by

the Hon'ble Supreme Court is that there should not be any undue delay.
103. In Bhajan Singh

v. State of Hariyana (2011

KHC 4542

- AtR

2011 sc 2552) the Hon'ble supreme court held as follows:- lt is not that as if
every delay in sending the report to the Magistrate would necessarily lead to

the inference that the

FIR has

not been lodged at the time stated or has been

ante-timed or ante-dated or investigation is not fair and forthright. Every such

delay is not fatal unless prejudice to the accused is shown. The expression
'forthwith' mentioned therein does not mean that the prosecution is required to
explain delay of every hour in sending the FIR to the Magistrate. In a given
case, if number of dead and injured persons is very high, delay in dispatching

the report is natural. of course, the same is to be sent within reasonable time in
the prevalent circumstances. However, unexplained inordinate delay in sending
the copy of

FIR

to the Magistrate may affect the prosecution case adversely. An

inference may be drawn against the prosecution when there are

"do"t!r9,.
circumstances from which an
an inference can be drawn that there were chances
,mqnipqlation in the FIR oy
by falsely roping in th9 accused persons after due

to the prosecutiorr to introduee irnprovernent and

embellishments. Thus,a delay in dispatch of the FIR by itself is not a
affords sufficient time

circumstance which can throw out

the prosecution's case in its

entirety,

particularly when the prosecution furnishes a cogent explanation for the delay

in

dispatch of

the report or prosecution case itself is proved by

leading

uni mpeachable evidence.

104. Again the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Anjanappa

v. State of

Karnataka (2013 KHC 4884) held that the delay by itself does not render
prosecution case doubtful. In the said case the Fl statement was seen recorded

at 11.30 pm on 17.10.1991. That

about 4.30

FIR reached

the Magistrate on the next day at

pm. In the said case the Hon'ble Supreme

Court observed that

sending copy of the report to the Magistrate under Section 157 of Cr.P.C. is the
only external check on the working of the police agency imposed by law which

is to be strictly followed. But, that delay by itself does not render

prosecution case doubtful.

lf the delay is reasonably

the

explained no adverse

inference can be drawn against the prosecution.

105. The settled position on this point, as seen from the above mentioned

rulings is that the inordinate and unexplained delay occurred in the FIR is very

significant.

lt

is to be noted that in Biju's case (supra) there was a delay of

about five days in sending the FIR to the Magistrate. In the said ruling the
Hon'ble High Court has made it clear that the inordinate delay in sending the

FIR has not been explained by the prosecution and that

is fatal to

the

pqp;ecution case. Here the incident was on a Sunday. FIR is seen received by
..

the Magistrate on the,next day itself. I

An adverse inference can be drawn against the prosecution when there are
circumstances from which an inference can be drawn that there were chances

of manipulation in the FIR by falsely roping in the accused persons after due
deliberations. In the case on hand, I can very well rule out the possibilities of

manipulation. There

is nothing to doubt about the

lf

of the

Fl

Ext.p2 is a statement recorded by pW243,

after collecting details from the parties who had gathered there as alleged by
the learned defence counsel, there is no chance of committing any mistake in
preparing Ext.P2. The learned counsel has submitted that there are several

omissions

in

Ext.P2

viz; to mention the previous visits of assailants,

registration number of the van etc. lf Ext.P2 is a fabricated one, definitely there
should not have been any omissions or mistakes. They could have prepared a

foolproof statement. lt cannot be ignored that A9 Jafar and ALO Asharaf were
arrested on 4.7.2010 itself. ln such a case the prosecution could have afleast

furnished the details of some of the assailants in Ext.P2. There is nothing to

suggest that the prosecution has made improvements and embellishments in

the

FlR. There are materials

to show that

Ext.P2 FIR was forwarded

to

the

Magistrate without any inordinate delay. lt was received in the court at L1 am

PW2 and
stated that they found 47 sitting in the driver's seat of the omni van'

pw3 have specifically stated that the left window pane of their car

was

smashed by 42, and 43 smashed the windscreen of their car. Pws 2 and 3 have

stated that A6 took a position between the two vehicles with a plastic kit in his
hand. The evidence of PW1 and PW4 would show that 46 who was standing in
between the omni van and the wagonR car threw a bomb, when they reached
at the spot. PW3 deposed that when she came out of the car A5 caught hold of

her neck and pressed her on the side wall. The photograph of A1 savad was
identified by Pws 1 to 4 as the person who was holding the hatchet' Further it is
deposed by these witnesses that A2 was holding a chopper and he had inflicted

injuries on the left heel of PW2. Pws 2 and 4 have specifically stated that A2
and A5 were wearing Mo.8 series caps. PW1 to PW4 identified A1 to 44 to be

the persons who had dragged

PW2 towards

the back side of the car. Pwsl,

and 4 identified 45 and 46 as the persons who had lifted PW4 and thrown to the

school compound. PW1 to PW4 have narrated about the roll of A2, A3, and A5
to A7 in the attack in specific and clear words.

107. According to the learned counsel for the accused the evidence
tendered by Pws 1 to 4 with regard to the identity of A2, 43 and 45 to 47

cannot be relied upon since they had no previous acquaintance with those
accusgd. He pointed out that the accused were shown to the witnesses from

the poiite station and therefore the subsequent identification by the witnesses
has no Value and it i9 not acceptable. The learned counsel for the'accused has

accepted, but such a situation will arise only when there are sufficient
materjals

to show that the witnesses were havlng ampre opportunity to identify

the

accused at the time of the incident and when the accused are not shown
to the
witnesses during the investigation. Here the incident was taken place at about
8.05 am at a public road. According to the witnesses the incident lasted about

- 7 minutes. They had ample opportunity and time to see the assairants.

Further PwsL to 4 have stated that they had occasion to see the assailants on 2

or 3 occasions, prior to the incident. According to the prosecution, on 6.5.2010

and 28.5.2010 the accused went to the house

of pw2 with an intention

to

attack him, but their pran was foired since pw2 was not present. on 17.5.2010
the attempt was failed as there were other persons in that house.

108. PW1, PW3 and pW14 have stated about the incident happened on
6.5.2010. I have already mentioned the evidence tendered by pw1 and pw3 on

this point. PW14 is the sister of pw2. she is residing at parathodu in ldukki
district with herfamily. she used to visit her brother. on one such occasion, that

was on 6.5.2010 at around 5 pm, 5

6 persons came to that house.

she

deposed that when pw3 enquired about the purpose of their visit they told that

they came for getting an article from pw2. since pw2 was not there, pw3
asked them

to wait. They told that they would meet pw2 later and left the

place. she added that on 28.5.2010 she came to the house of pw2 to join them
in their trip to Velankanni. At about 2 pm, six persons came to their house ancl
enquired about PW2. when pw4 went to the backyard of the house to call pw2.

two among them entered. in the house and searched each and every_..room of

113

thr: l'rouse. They cat-rie outside through tiie door orr tlie i:acf:ri,:i.: arrd then left
the place along with the others who were waiting in the courtyard of the house.
Though PW1 requested them to disclose the purpose of their visit, they did not

give any reply. One among them showed gestures to keep silence.

PW1

followed them and immediately came back and noted the number of a motor

cycle. When PW2 came they told him about the incident. On the way to
Velankanni PW2 filed a complaint in the office of the Deputy Superintendent of
Police, Muvattupuzha. These are the versions of PW14 regarding the incident

which took place on 6.5.2010 and 28.5.201"0. lt is very pertinent to note that
PW1 has identified A2. A3, 45

to A7 and another (whose photograph was

marked as Ext.Pl(a)) as the persons who came to their house on 6.5.2010. pW3

was also able to identify A2, A3, A5 and Ext.P1(a) photograph. She could not
identify 46 and A7. Instead of pointing out 46 and A7 she pointed out A20 and
A22. The failure to identify 46 and A7 as the persons who came to their house

on 6.5.201,0 will not render her evidence untrustworthy. lt is to be noted that

this witness had identified 46 in court and stated that he was standing near the
vehicles with a plastic kit in his hand. lt means that 46 was known to her at the

time of giving evidence. when the learned public prosecutor asked her to
identify the persons who came to the house on 6.5.2010, she could have very
well stated that A2, 43 and A5 to A6 were present on 6.5.2010 also, but she did

not say so. Instead of pointing out 46 and 47 who were known to her, she
wrongly pointed out A20 and A22 as the persons who came to their house on
6;5.2010. lt proves that she was not able to remember as to whether eo ano

'

ei

. were present on 6.5.2010. That itself is sufficient to give credence to her

'

evidence. I am satisfipd that she had stated only true facts. TJle egidence given

witness. Frorn the evidence of PWl anqi PW3, I can vi:ry rvell say that ,{?, A3

and A5 were there in the group of pei'sons who had visited their hotise on
6.5.2010. PW1 has identified 46 and A7 also.
109. Pws1,3 and 4 have identified 43 and Ext.Pl-(a) photograph of A4 Sajil
as the persons who had entered into the house on 28.5.2010 and searched for
PW2. PW14 has identified Ext.P1(a) photograph of

44 Sajil. She could identify

43 and A5 only when they were pointed out by the learned Public

Prosecutor.

Whereas Pwsl and 3 were sure about the oresence of 43 on 6.5.2010 and
28.5.2010. PW1 has identified A2, A3, A5, 46 and 47 and stated that they came

to her house on 6.5.2010 also. The presence of A2, 43 and A5 in that house

on

6.5.2010 was stated by PW3 as well.

l-10. PW2 deposed about the incident took place on 17.5.2010. His versions

on this point is supported by his nephew Joby who was examined as

PW15.

According to PW15, he was present in the house of PW2 on that day along with

his wife Prabha. At about 5pm, 5

- 6 persons came to that house for getting

financial help for the treatment of the child of one among them. This witness

also deposed about the incident in tune with the evidence of PW2.

PW2

identified 42, 43, 45, A6 and-A8 as persons who came to his house on that day
and added that A5 Shamsudhin was the person who had talked with him and

identified A2 to be the person whose child was having some kidney problem.
According to PW2, 42 and 45 were wearing caps and A8 was wearing paijama

and kurta. PW15 Joby identified 42, A3 and A5. When the learned Prosecutor
pointed out AB, this witness stated that he was also present on that day. This
witness wrongly identified 47 Pareed and A24 Muhammadali to be the members,,

she used to go for evening walk. on that day, while she was walking thrclugh

the road along with her neighbour seena, six persons came on two bikes and
stopped the bikes in front of the house. One among them remained there and

the others went to their house. She identified those five persons as A2 Jamal,

43 Shobin, A5 shamsudhin, 46 shanavas and A8 Younus Aliyar. she identified

the photograph of the person who had remained on the road side and it was
marked as Ext.Pl(b). According to the prosecution it is the photograph of A28
M.K.Nazar. I am satisfied that PWsl and 2
and A8

were able to identify A2, A3, A5, 46

as the persons who had visited their house on 17.5.2010. The presence

of A2, 43 and A5 is stated by PW15 as well.

L12. PW18 Johny who was the owner of Hotel New Paris, Anikkad,
Muvattupuzha spoke about

the presence of A2 Jamal near his hotel on

17.5.2010. This witness added that during investigation A2 was brought by the

police to his hotel and he heard the said accused saying the police that the

latter had taken food from his hotel on the date of the hand chopping incident.
At the time of cross examination this witness stated that it was on l-7.5.2010. lt
is clear from the inconsistent versions that he was not sure about the date on

which that accused had visited his

hotel. This witness could not give any

explanation as to how he happened to remember this accused, with whom he

had no prior acquaintance. Normally it may not be possible for a person who is

running a hotel to remember a person who had opportunity to visit his hotel

once or twice. The evidence of this witness that he was able to identify A2 who

.-^10"1n." visited hls hotel, is n-ot reliable and it cannot be accepted. Thg

have stated about ihe presence of A2 on that day at their residence. That itself

is sufficient to prove the presence of 42 in the house of pw2 on 17.5.2010.

along with the other accused.
113. According to the learned counsel for the accused, pwsl to 4 had no

occasion

to see the assailants prior to 4.7.2010. He pointed out that

witnesses had no case

the

that the accused had visited the house of pW2, prior to

4.7.201'0. His definite contention

is

that the incident alleged to have been

happened on 6.5.2010, 17.5.2010 and 28.5.2010 are only improvements made

by the prosecution witnesses to substantiate their case that they

had

opportunity to see the assailants prior to 4.7.2010. He pointed out that there

are several material contradictions and omissions amountlng to material

contradictions in the versions of these witnesses.
114. lt is true that Ext.P2 Fl statement is silent about the previous incidents.
There is nothing in Ext.P2 to suggest that the assailants had visited their house

on previous occasions. lt is relevant to note that Ext.P2 was not a complaint

regarding

the incidents which took place on 6.5.2010 or 17.5.2010 or

28.5.2010.

lt is a statement

recorded by pW243 within one hour, after the

attack on PW2. Nobody could expect such a detailed statement from pw1
regarding the entire incidents took place on that day and on the previous
occasions. I cannot expect such minute details from PW1 who is the wife of the

victim who had lost his right hand. I cannot ignore the fact that Ext.p2 is

statement given by her within one hour after the tragic incident. Therefore the

irr their house

has not stated anything about the presence of the sisters of PW2

on 6,5.2010. He has pointed

out

one or two similar trivial omissions in the

statement given by PW1. lt is true that PW1, at the time of Eiving statement,

did not mentlon the particular dates of visits to the investigating officers.

So

also she did not give the details of the visits of the assailants on those days,

before PW294 or PW295, at the time of questioning. But it is clear from the
evidence of pws 294 and 295 that she had briefly mentioned about the visits of

the assailants on those occasions. Though PWL has omitted to mention the
dates and the number of visits in Ext.P2 Fl statement, it is clear that she has
briefly stated about the previous visits to the Investigating officers.
1t 5.

lt is admitted by

Pws 294 and 295 that when questioned, PW3 did not

give any statement about the previous visits of the assailants on the three
occasions. Whereas

it is brought out through PW215 that PW4 has stated that

he had occasion to see the assailants when they came to his house on previous

occasions. PW215 gave explanation

for not getting the details from

the

witnesses. He stated that he did not put any question to these witnesses with
regard to the incidents which took place on 6.5.2010. 17.5'2010 and 2B'5.2010'
pW215 added that when he questioned her, he asked only about the incident

dated 4.7.2010. From the evidence

could find that Pws

number of the persons who came to their house or about their identifying

Joliy and his
wife at her residence on 17.5.2010. so also she did not mention to
any of the
investigating officers that on 17.5.2010 when those persons came to her
house

she was walking along the road with her neighbour seena. lt is true. she
did not

mention about the presence pwL5 in that house on that day. These are ali

trivial and it can be ignored. Merely because of the reason that pw1 to pw4 did
not state each and every minute aspects to the investigating officers about the

visits of the assailants to their house on 6.5.2010, 17.5.2010 and 2g.5.2010,

cannot reject the entire evidence tendered by these witnesses on these points.

so also the omission to mention that on 29.5.2010 when some of the accused
came to their house, pw1 was serving meals has no importance. I could not
ignore the admission made by PW294 who has stated that though the witnesses

had given detailed statements regarding those aspects he recorded only the
material aspects.

117. PW1 to PW4 have specifically stated that on 28.5.2010

pwl

gave a

complaint before the DysP, Muvattupuzha. That complaint was marked

as

Ext.P3. In the said complaint PW2 has specifically stated that on 17.5.2010 six

persons came to his house. He further stated that on that day itself he had
contacted the police and accordingly the sub Inspector came to his house on

that day for enquiry. Further he has specifically mentioned in Ext.p3 that

on

28.5.2010 at about 2 pm two persons entered the house without permission

and conducted search in that house. When his wife followed them they
threatened her.

lt

is further stated that those persons came on three motor

cycles end that PW1 was able to collect the numbeg of one motor cycle. In this

that he had informed the police about the incident which took place 17.5.2010.
PW243

the sub Inspector of Police supported this version and said that

PW2

had given intimation in the police station about that incident over phone. He
added that he did not get any written complaint with regard to that incident. In
Ext.P3 also PW2 has specifically stated

that he had informed the police about

the incident dated 17.5.20L0 and the sub lnspector of Muvattupuzha had come

to his house. I do not find any reason to disbelieve the evidence tendered by
pw2 with regard to the incident which took place on 17.5.20L0. He has stated
that fact briefly in Ext.P3 also. The fact that PW243 did not maintain any record
about the enquiry conducted by him as per Ext.P3 complaint, will not make the
oral evidence tendered by the witnesses unreliable or untrustworthy.
L18. PW101 Vishwappan who is a neighbour of PW2 Joseph deposed that on

28.5.2010 he took PW2 and his family members to Velankanni in his car. This
witness also stated that on the way he stopped the vehicle near Muvattupuzha
Police station and then PW2 went to the police station. At the time of cross

examination this witness has clarified that PW2 went to the police station to

lodge

a complaint.

PW295 stated

that on getting that complaint he

had

forwarded the same to the Circle Inspector of Police for enquiry and necessary
action. PW294 in turn forwarded the same to the Sub Inspector, Muvattupuzha.
PW243 has stated that on the basis of Ext.P3 complaint he went to the house of

evidence with regard

to Ext.p3 coniplaint.

Further

the

evi<ience

of

tliese

witnesses regarding Ext.P3 complaint is sufficiently supported by pw101 who is

an independent witness. lt is very pertinent to note that the defence did not
challenge the credibility of pwL01. ln this circumstance I can very well accept
the contention of the prosecution about Ext.p3 complaint.
119. According to the learned counsel for the accused, the omission on the

part of the investigating officers to conduct test identification parade of the

accused is fatal. According to him, though the investigating officers were aware

that test identification parade was absolutely necessary, they did not resort to

the same and opted the short cut method of showing the accused to the
witnesses to enable them to identify the accused during trial. lt is further stated

that the investigating officers for that purpose collected the photographs of the
accused and shown to the witnesses. The prosecution did not adduce any
evidence as to how they collected those photographs. Admittedly they did not
prepare any search list or seizure mahazar for collecting those photographs.
The learned counsel for the accused added that the test identification parade
conducted by the learned Magistrate, at the request of the NIA officials in a
later stage has no value as the accused were shown to the witnesses on earlier
occasion.

120. The learned counsel for the accused has relied on the rulings in

Mohanlal cangaram Gehani v. State of Maharashtra AIR 1982 SC 839,

Krishan Kumar Malik v. State

tAtR 1993 SC 26r.8I and Harinath v. state of UP [X998 KH 849I. From
the judgment in Viiayan v. State of Kerala it could be seen that the accused
was not known to the witness in that case. Therefore

it was held that the

substantive evidence of identification in the court after so many years cannot

be relied upon. The witnesses in that case had no opportunity to see the
accused before the incident. Here the facts are different. There is evidence of

pw1 to PW4 that they had opportunity to see all the assailants prior to
4.7.2010. Therefore that ruling is not applicable to the case on hand'

121. The learned counsel for the accused argued about the necessity of

holding test identification parade

in a case where the witnesses have

no

ac.quaintance with the assailants. According to him, PW302 when realised that

fact app.lied for conducting the test identification parade of A2, A3, and A5 to

I do not know why pw302 hac! decided to file such an

application before the Magistrate, that too after the appearance of the accused
before the court. The final report under section 173 Cr.p.c. was filed by pw295

before the court of sessions, Ernakulam on 14.1.2011. During that period 42,
A3 and A5 to A8 wherein judicial custody. All of these accused were arrested in

in open court. After filing the final report these accused were

produced in court regularly. witnesses had sufficient opportunity to see the

accused when they were produced before court. Further pwL

to pw4 nave a

specific case that they identified those accused before the investigating
officers. As such the test identification parade conducted by the learned
Magistrate (PW269) that too, after the filing of the final report has no value in
the eye of law lt was a futile attempt of pW302.
122. lt is seen that immediately after the arrest of 42, A3, 45, 46, 47, AB

their photographs were published in the leading Malayalam newspapers.

The

photograph of 42 Jamal was published in the front page of Malayala Manorama,

Deshabhimani and Mangalam dated 29.08.2010 (Ext.D20 series). He was

arrested by the police on 28.08.2010. The photos of 43 and 46 were seen

published in Malayala Manorama, Deshabhimani, Mangalam, Mathrubhumi and

it could be seen that the photos of A2, A3 and A5 to A8 have been published in
all the prominent Malayalam newspapers. In such a situation if the investigating

officer is requesting for a test identification parade and it is allowed, it would

not have any value. In this circumstance I cannot find fault with PW294 who
had conducted the investigation for not conducting a test identification parade

by a Magistrate.

Purpose

of a test

identification parade

is to have a

corroboration of evidence of eye witnesses in the form of earlier identification.

A test identification parade of an accused whose photos were published

in

newspapers is of no consequence . PW294 was wise enough for not applying to

conduct a test identification parade of the accused whose photos had been
widely published in almost all the newspaper in and around the locality.

123.

lt

is settled law that the identification test do not constitute

substantive evidence. Substantive evidence is the evidence of identification in

iourt.. In a case where the accused were known to the witnesses or the
withdsles had occasion to see the accused before the incident, the test
.''
ideiitificatjon parade has no consequence. In Haseeb v. State of Bihar - AIR
1972 SC 283 it was hel+that the necessity of holding identification parade

matter of alleged offence or the persons who are alleged to have been
concerned in the offence. such tests or parades belong to the investigation

stage and they serve to provide the irrvestigating authority with material to
assure themselves that the investigation is proceeding on right lines" There is

no inflexible rule that the identification made for the first time in court has to
be always ruled out of consideration.

L24. lt is clear from this ruling of the Apex Court and the other rulings

cited by the defence that there is no inflexible rule that an identification made
by the first time in court is valueless or unreliable. The role of test identification

parade is only to corroborate the witness or to contradict him.

lt

has no

independent value. In a case reported in l9B9 (2) KLT S.N. 3 page No.2. (Crl.
Appeal Nos.52, 53 etc. of 1956) a Division Bench of our Hon'ble High Court held

that test identification parade is not the only type of corroborative evidence
which can be tendered

to

confirm the evidence

of a witness regarding

identification. Absence of test identification parade cannot be regarded as fatal

in all cases. Assurance could be available from other sources or circumstances.
There is no principle of law that after a lapse of period witnesses in no case
would be able to identify a person whom they had seen for the first time earlier.
Witnesses might have had a fair opportunity of seeing and noting his features

and appearance before he was brought for identification. There might have
been something in the context, manner and the circumstances of the meeting

even without prior identification parade, identification in court can be believed.
The learned Public Prosecutor has cited the ruling of the Hon'ble Supreme Court

in Myladimmal surendran and others v. state of Kerala [AlR 2O1O

32gu in support of his contentions. lt was a case where the witnesses

asked to identify the accused for the first time, after about

SC

were

years from the

date of incident. In the said case no test identification parade was conducted.
Even then the Hon,ble supreme court has accepted the evidence of the eye
witnesses. The settled law is that there is no legal obligation on the part of the

to

test identification parade. Evidence of

identification in court cannot be rendered inadmissible for want of test

investigating officer

conduct

identification parade as it is only an aid to investigation. In this case Pws 1 to 4

have specifically stated that they had occasion to see the assailants on two or

three times prior to the incident. lt is very pertinent to note that PW1 and PW4
have stated about the involvement of A2, 43 and A5 to A7 in the incident dated

4.7.2010. PW2 also stated about the role of A2, A3, 45, 46 and 47 and
identified those accused. Whereas PW3 identified 42, 43, A5 and A6.
125. The learned counsel for the accused pointed out that these witnesses

were not able to mention anything before the investigating officers about the
appearance, identification marks and other relevant things required for the
purpose of identifying the assailants. All these witnesses were cross examined

in detail by the learned counsel for the accused with regard to the identity of

the.assailants. Pws 1 to 4 stated that they have given the details required for

identifying the accused before the investigating officers. But

126' lt is brought out by the learned counsel for the accused that pW1 did

not furnish any material required for the purpose of the identification of the
assailants,

to the

investigating officers. They did not mention that the

assailants were wearing caps, paijama, kurtha etc. They did not mention about

the appearance or physical features of the assailants. According to the leamed

counsel that itself would show that the evidence of PW1 to PW4 with regard to

the identification is not reliable. lt is very pertinent to note that all

these

witnesses have stated that they had given the details; such as physical
features, identification marks etc. before the investigating officers, but there is
no evidence. But there are sufficient materials to suggest that these witnesses
had ample opportunity to see the assailants. lt is borne out from the evidence

that the incident lasted about 6 - 7 minutes. They had opportunity to see the
assailants in broad day light. In this circumstance I cannot reject the specific
answers given by these witnesses to the questions put by the learned counsel

that the appearance of the assailants were fixed in their memory and mind.
They had occasion to see the assailants on three times prior to the incident.

the assailants in clear words. As stated above they had obtained ampie
opportunity to see all the assailants. PW2 has stated that the face of the person
who had chopped off his hand is imprinted in his mind. The evidence tendered

by Pw1, PW3 and PW4 would also show that they had sufficient opportunity to
watch the assailants on the date when PW2 was attacked and on the previous
days and that the faces of the assailants were imprinted in their minds.

that PW2 was not able to identify A7 in the test identification parade conducted
by the Magistrate. But from the evidence of PW1 and PW4 | can very well say

that A7 was also present on 4.7.2070. PW3 has fairly conceded that she did not

128. lt is argued by the rearned counsel fclr Lhe accused that dock
identification of accused who are stranqers to the witnesses for the first time in

court should be corroborated. In support of the said contention cited a ruling

reported in 2O13 (3) KLT S.N. 82 (Case No.82)

- (Chandran v. State of

Kerala) wherein it has been held that the safe rule is that the sworn testimony
of witnesses in court as to the identity of the accused who are strangers to the
witnesses, generally speaking, requires corroboration which should be in the

form of an earlier identification proceeding or any other evidence. lf a witness

identifies the accused in court for the first time the probative value of such
uncorroborated evidence becomes minimal so much so that it becomes, as a
rule of prudence and not law, unsafe to rely on such a piece of evidence. lt is
clear from that decision that it was not a rule of law but a safe rule of prudence.

In Malkhan Singh and others v. State of M.p. (AtR 2OO3 SC 2G69) the
Hon'ble Supreme court held that there is no inflexible rule that an identification
made for the first time in court could not be taken as a good piece of evidence.

The purpose of

prior test identification is

to test and strengthen

the

trustworthiness of evidence. This rule of prudence, is subject to exceptions, if

the court is impressed by a particular witness on whose testimony it can safely

rely, without such or other corroboration. Failure to hold a test identification
parade would not make inadmissible the evidence of identification in court. The

129

witness in court, if required. However, what weight must be attached to the

evidence of identification in court, which is not preceded by a test identification

parade, is a matter for the courts of fact to examine. In appropriate cases it

may accept the evidence

of

identification even without insisting

on

corroboration. This dictum is followed in by the Hon'ble supreme court in

Sukhbir Singh's case (supra).

1.29.

ln Mahabir's case (supra) the Hon'ble Supreme Court held

as

follows:-

"lt is trite to say that the substantive evidence is the evidence of

identification in court. Apart from the clear provisions of S. 9 of the Evidence
Act, the position in law is well settled by a catena of decisions of this court. The

facts, which establish the identity of the accused persons, are relevant under 5.

9 of the Evidence Act. As a general rule, the substantive evidence of a witness

is the statement made in court. The evidence of mere identification of the

accused person at the trial for the first time is from its very nature inherently of

a weak character. The purpose of prior test identification, therefore, is to test

and strengthen the trustworthiness of that evidence.

lt is accordingly

considered a safe rule of prudence to generally look for corroboration of the

sworn testimony of witnesses in Court as to the identity of the accused who are

strangers to them, in the form of earlier identification proceedings. This rule of

prudence, however, is subject to exceptions, when, for example, the Court is
impressed by a particular witness on whose testimony it can safely rely, without
such or other corroboration. The identification parade belonged to the stage d'f

investigation, and there

is no provision in the court which

obliges the

investigating agency to hold or-confers a right upon the accused to claim; a [est

130

identification parade. They do not constitute substantive evidence and

these
parades are essentially governed by s. 162 of the code. Failure to
hold a test
identification parade would not make inadmissible the evidence of identification
in Court. The weight to be attached to such identification should be a matterfor

the courts of fact. In appropriate cases

it

may accept the evidence of

identification even without insisting on corroboration." From the dictum laid

down by the Hon'ble supreme court it cannot be said that in the absence of

test identification parade, the evidence of an eye witness identifying the

accused would become inadmissible or totally useless. whether the evidence

reserves any credence

or not would always depend on the facts and

circumstances of each case.

L30. The learned counsel for the accused pointed out some omissions and

contradictions in the evidence of pws 1 to 4. He has brought out during the

cross examination of these witnesses that none of the witnesses has stated

before any of the investigating officers that the person who was holding
hatchet got into the vehicle with the severed hand. so also these witnesses clid
not mention anything to the effect that the severed hand was thrown out by
the accused from the van to a property on the road side. lt is true that none of

the witnesses has given such statements before any of the

investigating

officers. But that itself is not sufficient to reject the entire evidence. pw6 Nibin
Luka who took the injured to the hospital has specifically stated that on the way

to hospital he asked the wife of punnad rhomas to search for the severed hand.
PW158 M.c.Joseph deposed that he found the severed hand in the compound
Qlakkil Joy (PWLO) and handed over the same

to pw5 George Varghese.

oT

This

evidence of PW8 is supported by pw7 Moly George and pw9 Betty shaji. pwlo
i

131

plakkil Joy deposed that the severed trand was faund out from his property anil

thenhegaveaplasticbagandicecubstoPW15E.PW5GeorgeVarghese
stated that PW158 M.C.Joseph had handed over the severed hand to him and in

turn he gave it to PW243 the Sub Inspector who came to the spot. I do not find

any reason to disbelieve the evidence of these witnesses regarding the

recovery of the severed hand from the property of PW10. They have no reason

to give false evidence with regard to the recovery of the severed hand.

From

the evidence of these witnesses it is explicit that the severed hand was thrown

to the property of Plakkil

PW1

to

PW4

Joy. ln

this circumstance the omission on the part of

to give statement to the investigating officers that they found A1

getting into the vehicle with the severed hand can be ignored, The evidence
tendered by these witnesses cannot be rejected in toto stating that it was

universal omission.

131. lt is submitted that PWL did not mention to the investigating officers

that she had seen the act of chopping off the right hand of PW2. This
submission does not Seems to be correct: Ext.P2 itself would show that the right

hand of her husband was chopped off. Though PW1 did not mention to any of

the investigating officers that she had seen the accused chopping off the right
hand of her husband in specific words,

it

would not render her evidence

untrustworthy. lt is clear from her versions that she reached the spot along with
PW4 and witnessed the brutal attack on her husband.

,'r,4,,,....,.!:2.

lt is true that Pws 1 to 4 did not give any statement to the

investig'ating officers about the physical appearance, identification marks, dress

materialslworn by the assailants etc. of the accused. But they have got

occasions. I cannot ignore the fact thar pws r- and 2 have
specificaily
stated

that the faces of the assailants were imprinted in their minds.

133. rt is brought out through pws 243, 294 and 295 that pw1,
in the
statements given by her did not mention about the honking of

the

horn,

doubted that it was the horn of her vehicle, that when she reached the
spot she
found an omni van facing companypady side with opened doors with person
a

sitting on the driver's seat, their wagonR car with smashed windowpanes,
one
person holding the neck of pw3 and standing adjacent to 'kayyala'
with a knife
on right hand, 3 - 4 persons holding pw2 who was rying on the road, 42 and 43

standing with "'vakathi" and A1 with hatchet, A6 holding a plastic kit and A1

inflicting 6

- 7 cut injuries on pw2. lt is true that she did not give each and

every minute details before the investigating officers. pw215, pw2g4, pw295
and PW302 have stated that though she has narrated the entire incident and
gave minute details they recorded the same in brief. This submission seems
to
be true. Merely because of the reason that she did not say each and every act

of the assailants in its sequence, I cannot say that the evidence tendered by
her before this court is a story developed by her during the trial. Further t could
not find any material omission which amounts to contradiction, in her evidence.

The prosecution was able to prove that pwL has given detailed statement
about the presence of each and every assailant and about the.role of them in

the attack on PW2 and identified all of the assailants in court. In this
circumstance I can very well ignore the above mentioned omissions pointed out
by the learned counsel.

134. The learned counsel for the accused made simiiar attempt to bring

anything that the driver of the omni van turned around the vehicle immediately
after blocking the car, that the driver was having beard, that there was a sticker

of the 'Thirukudumbam' (Holy Family) on the windscreen of the Maruthi omni

van, that one of the assailants catled the name of another and reminded that

he is chopping off the wrong hand, directed the other to chop off the right
hand, that the assailant who was holding the hatchet saying to PW2 that "prc

and threw

that the person who had chopped off the

hand was attacked by Mithun and sustained injuries and that the assailants had

visited their house on previous occasions. lt is true that none of the witnesses
have stated about the honking sound of the horn.

135. Pws 294 and 295 have stated that Pws L to 4 have narrated the
entire incident in detail, but they recorded their statements in a brief manner.
Even

if it is assumed that these witnesses did not give these minute

aspects

witnesses
would say that the faces of the assairants are imprinted in their

witness will give such detairs. rt is to be noted that ail the witness
had stated

that they can identify the assairants. I cannot ignore the fact that

these

witnesses had opportunity to see the assailants prior to the incident.

so also

the witnesses had obtained sufficient time to watch the assailants who had
attacked PW2 on 4.7.201,0. Therefore the omission in giving the details sucn
as,

the appearance of the assailants, the details of the dress materials worn by the
assailants, the identification marks of the assailants etc. cannot be treated as
material omissions.

witnesses by the investigating officers started on 5.7.201-0 and lasted for about

one year. During this period these witnesses were questioned by four or five

officers. No doubt there will be some contradictions. As stated above, I could

not find any material contradictions in the versions of these witnesses. Pws 1 to

4 have narrated the entire incident in clear and specific terms. The omissions
and contradictions marked by the defence are not at all material and those

contradictions

do not have any consequences. These omissions

discrepancies are due to normal errors of observation, normal errors of memory

138. Apart fron: tliose minor omisllons anil contraciiction: pr:inLeti oui bv

the learned counsel for the accused, there is nothing to suspect the evidence of
PWs 1, 3 and 4 who had narrated the incident. They are most natural witnesses

to see the incident. pw1 is the wife and pw4 is the son of the injured pw2.
PW3 who came on leave, was also residing along with pw2 and

family. Further

her presence in the house was not challenged in cross-examination. Their

presence at the place of incident was quiet natural.

139. lt cannot be insisted that in order to accept the evidence of eyewitnesses, they should speak how each and every injury found on the victim
was inflicted. The injuries must have been inflicted in quick succession as the

duration of the incident was short. They may not be in a position to have

close watch on each and every injury inflicted on the injured. In this connection

I may refer the judgment of the Hon'ble

State

of

Supreme Court

in Nand Kumar v.

Chhattisgarh (Crl.Appeal No.9O6/2O12 dated 31.fO.2O14)

wherein it was held:-

"ln our considered view when several people participate in

commission of an offence with deadly weapons and attack one or

more persons with an intention to kill them then the witnesses who
are closely related to the victims are not expected to describe the

incident

in graphic detail and with such precision that

which

member and in what manner he participated in the commission of

offence. Their evidence is to be appreciated in its totality.,'

prosecuiion could not exarrlirie any independent \,itne5s to prove lhe *[i 'rck
PW2 and

orr

the identity of the assailants. His contention is that the prosecution

has avoided independent witnesses to cover up the anomaly in the evidence of

pws 1 to 4. Ext.P2 Fl statement would show that the persons who came to the

spot after hearing the hue and cry, had seen the incident. Further PW3' at the

time of cross examination has admitted that nuns and neighbours who were
returning from the church had seen the incident, but she could not identify any

of those persons. The prosecution has examined eight independent witnesses

to prove the attack on PW2. lt is clear from their versions that they had no
opportunity to see the entire incident. PWg said that when he reached near the
gate of Nirmala Public school he heard the sound of an explosion and stopped
his car. He saw a black car on the road. A woman was seen under the grip of
another nearthe car. He saw 3 -4 persons dragging a person to the backside of

that car which was stopped there. They dropped him near the side wall. He saw
one among them waiving some weapon towards that person. He stated that he

could not identify the assailants. From the versions of PW5, PW6, PW7 and PW9

to PW12 it could be seen that they also heard the sound of explosion and when

they reached the place of occurrence they found PW2 lying on the road with
injuries. All these witnesses are residing near the place of incident. Some of
them were coming from the church. ln view of the evidence of these witnesses,

the contention that the prosecution did not examine any independent witness
will not sustain. lt is true that these witnesses did not get opportunity to see the
incident. The fact that there was no independent witness who had seen

would not falsify the prosecution case. I do not find any

argument raised by the learned counsel for the accused.

Public Prosecutor during the examination

in chief. lt is

the

prerogative of the Public Prosecutor to elicit such points from a

witness as he deems necessary for the case. No Public Prosecutor
can be nailed to the statement recorded under Section L6L of the
Code. We scrutinised the so called improvements from that angle

and we are satisfied that PW2 had basically remained at the same
position which he has stated in the FlR".

142. Here PW2 has narrated the entire incident truly and correctly in
specific terms. His versions are supported by PW1, PW3 and PW4. Merely
because of the reason that these witnesses are the wife, sister and son of PW2

they cannot be called as interested witnesses. In State of Raiastan v. Kalki

and Another - AIR 198X SC t 39O it was held as follows:"True it is she is the wife of the deceased; but she cannot be called

an 'interested' witness. She is related to the deceased. 'Related' is

not equivalent to 'interested'. A witness may be called 'interested

only when he or she derives some benefit from the result of

litigation; in the decree in a civil case or in seeing an accused

person punished. A witness who is a natural one and is the only
possible eye witness in the circumstances of a case cannot be said

744. ln seeman arias Veeranam v. state by Inspector of porice

(2005 cRr.L.r.26r8) it was herd that the evidence of witness
cannot be

discarded merery on the ground that he is a rerated witness or the

sore
witness or both if otherwise the same is found credible. lt is well settled

that it is the quality of the evidence and not the quantity of the evidence
which is required to be judged by the court to prace credence on
the
statements.
145. Pws 1 to 4 have no enmity towards A2, 43 and 45 to Ag. They had
no
occaslon to see these accused before 6.5,2010. The presence of pws 1,
3 and 4

at the place of incident is proved. There is nothing to doubt about their

presence at the place of incident. I do not find any reason for these
witnesses to

falsely implicate these accused. Merely because of the reason that there
is no

infirmities in the evi{ence aciduced bythe proseci-rtion,

1,

3 and 4 which is otherwise acceptable cannot be rejected on the ground that

there are some minor contradictions and omissions in their versions.
146. Apart from the evidence of Pws 1 to 4, the prosecution relies on
Ext.P312 the report prepared by the Finger Print Expert (PW184), to prove the

involvement of 47 Pareed. The evidence of PW184 would show that the finger
print slip of A7 Pareed was forwarded to him by PW295 on 18.10.2010 and on
comparison of the same with the chance prints collected from the omni van

and labelled by him as M6, he found that there were identical ridge
characteristics. lt is clear from his evidence and Ext.P31'2 report that the chance

prints which were collected from the omni van and labelled by him as M6, is

thatofAT

Pareed.

147. According to the learned counsel for the accused the chance prints

collected by the police at the time of investigation without resorting to the

provisions of Section 3114 Cr.P.C. and in violation of the provisions under the

identification of Prisoner's Act is not valid and therefore the evidence adduced

by the prosecution on the basis of such samples collected is not at

all

admissible in evidence. According to him, the specimen finger print was taken

by an Assistant Police sub Inspector who has no authority to take the finger
prints. The learned counsel for the accused argued that the specimen finger

prints of the appellant were not taken before or under the orders of

Magistrate in accordance with Section 6 of the ldentification of Prisoner's Act

t12

Ra.iasthan with l3abu Khan v.

section 5 of the rdentification of the pri.:oner's Act deals

with the powers of the
Magistrate to order a person to be measured or photographed.
Under section 4
of the Act porice officer is competent to take finger print

of the accusecr. rn

Mohd. Aman's case

it has been herd that if finger print is taken before or under

the order of a Magistrate in accordance with section 5 of the
identification of
Prisoner's Act, suspicion as to its bonafides can be dispeiled.
rt was herd that it

is eminently desirabre that it was taken before or under the orders

of

Magistrate. Anyway it is crear from the ruring in Mohd. Aman,s

case that there
is no bar in taking the finger print of an accused by a porice
officer. Further
there is no bar under the code of criminar procedure in taking
the finger print of
an accused by a porice officer. pw2g5 has specificaily stated that
the finger
print of A7 was taken by a porice officiar in his team as per
his directions and
in

his presence. lt is true that pw295 has not recorded the same
in the case file.
But it is not a ground to reject the evidence given by him on
this point. At the
time of chief examination this witness identified Ext.p313 finger print
srip of A7.

I do not find any reason to disberieve the evidence tendered by him

on this
point.
Supreme Court in the above said ruling held that the

of foot prints is not a fully developed science and

case evidence relating to the same is found satisfactory,

reinforce the conclusion as to the identity of the culorit

149. The learned counsel for the accused took a contention that the
evidence of PW1B4 cannot be looked into for the reason that the rear view

minor is not produced before this court. This contention does not seems to

be

correct. The rear view mirror is still there in MOZ omni van. On going through

- the entire evidence I am satisfied that the prosecution was able to prove the
role of 42, A3 and A5 to 47 in the attack on PW2.

150. PW187 Dr.P.B.Raju who was working as Assistant Surgeon in Taluk

Hospital, Muvattupuzha deposed that on 17.7.2OLO he examined PW3 Sister
Mary Stella and PW4 Mithun and issued Ext.P3L9 and P320 wound certificates.
According to him, PW3 had a healed wound 2x5 cm over the dorsal surface of

right forearm, one inch distal to elbow joint and another healed wound 1 x

.5

cm over the dorsal surface of left elbow and a healing wound 1 x 0.5 cm over
the front of right knee. When he examined PW4 he found healed abrasion over

low back area 6x5

cm, L inch above left posterior

superior iliac spine and

another healed abrasion 10 x 3 cm, 2 inches below the spine of left scapula. lt
is contented by the learned defence counsel that though the prosecution has a

case that PW3 and PW4 had sustained injuries in the incident, they did not
make any attempt to get medical aid in time. According to the learned counsel

for the accused the prosecution did not give any explanation for the delay in
sending PW3 and PW4 to the hospital for treatment. lt is true that PW243 who

PW4 on 5.7.2010 did not make any enql iry about the injr,rries nor pWzl give any

statement before that investigating offi;er regarding his injuries. So also pW3
did not mention anything about the injuries sustained to her till 17.7.2010. lt

is

very pertinent to note that PW3 and PW4 have got a specific case that they
were attending PW2 who was in the ICU at Specialists' Hospital, Ernakulam. In
such a situation they might have ignored their minor injuries. lt is clear from

the evidence tendered by PW294 that he noticed the injuries of Pws 3 and 4
only when PW3 produced the saree, blouse and underskirt (MO.18 to MO.20)

worn by her at the time of incident, before him. PW294 spoke that

on

17.7.2010, when she produced those dress materials he found blood stains in
MO.18 saree and then referred PW3 and PW4 to the hospital with requisition.
On that day itself he got Ext.P319 and 320 wound certificates from the hospital.

151. PW187 has specifically stated about the injuries of pW3 and pW4. I do

not find any reason to disbelieve the evidence tendered by this witness on this

point. Nobody could believe that this witness had fabricated wound certificate

in support of the prosecution at the request of the investigating officers. The

medical evidence would prove that PW3 and PW4 had sustained simple injuries.

The possibilities of sustaining such injuries in the incident mentioned by them

cannot be ruled out. Merely because of the reason

that there was delay in

getting treatment or medical aid, the evidence of PW3 and PW4 on this point
cannot be rejected. Their evidence is supported by PW8 who said that he found

1.45

sustained minor injuries in the incident is reliable. On going through the

evidence adduced by the prosecution on this point, I find that the prosecution
has succeeded in proving that Pws 3 and 4 had sustained simple injuries in the

incident.
152. The definite case of the prosecution is that 46 Shanavas exploded
bomb when PW1 and PW4 were rushing towards PW2. I have already mentioned

about the evidence tendered by the witnesses on this point. The evidence of
these witnesses about the explosion is supported by PW5 to PWLl". According to
PW5, PW7 and PWLL they heard the sound of explosion and found smoke at the

place of incident. PW6 and PW8 to PW10 stated that they heard something
exploding at the place of incident. PW5 and PW9 added that they found the
remnants of the explosion at that spot. PW243 the Sub Inspector of Police
.confirmed

the evidence of these witnesses stating that when he reached at the

spot he felt the smell of explosion and found the remnants. PWL83 Scientific
Assistant, Susan Antony spoke that she inspected the scene of occurrence and

collected swab. burned remnants, glass pieces, dark brown stains in cotton
gauze etc. sealed it and handed over to the ASI of Police, Muvattupuzha with a
report.
153. PW267 a police constable attached to the Muvattupuzha police station

stated that as per the directions he collected those packets from the court of
the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Muvattupuzha and produced the same in the

Forensic Science Laboratory, Thiruvananthapuram. PW230, Dr. Thomas

Alexander,

the Assistant Director, Forensic Science Laboratorf,

nanthapuram deposed that on 28.9.2010 he received five sealed

with impression of seal and the forwarding note. Those packets contained 24

items. ltems 1, 2 and 24 in two sealed packets were forwarded to the

Explosives Division of the laboratory and items 3, 9 and 15 in three packets
were forwarded to the Physics division. He examined the remaining items and

prepared Ext.P550 report. This witness identified MO.131 to MO.139 (cotton

gauze), MO.14 to MO.17 and MO.18 to MO.20 dress materials (item Nos.4 to 8,
L0 to 13, 17 , L8,20,19,22,2'1. and 23 respectively in Ext.P550) and stated that

those items contained human blood belonging to group 'B'. He identified

MO.

140 (remnant of the rexin) and MO.11 chopper (items 14 and 16 in Ext.P550).
According to him, on examination MO.140 was found contaminated with fungus.

154. PW231 Molly George who was working as Scientific Assistant

(Chemistry) stated that she examined the material objects and issued Ext.P551

report. According

to her, item No.1 contained one white paper packet

containing three pieces of cotton with coloured stains. The other white paper
packet (item No.2) contained one polythene packet containing partially burned

pieces

of

newspaper and

jute twine. This witness identified MO.L2, the

remnants of item No.l", cotton with black coloured stains and the remnants of

partially burned newspaper and jute twine (MO.13 series). This witness stated

that those material objects were examined using chemical analysis

and

Potassium Chlorate, Aluminium Powder and Sulphur were detected in item Nos.
1 and 2. She stated that Potassium Chlorate, Aluminium Powder and Sulphur is

a mixture and added that by using this explosive mixture, explosion can be

that after

155.

lt is clear from the evidence of PWl to PW11 that something was

exploded at the place

of

incident. PW231 has stated that the remnants of the

material objects examined by her contained the explosive mixture of Potassium

Chlorate, Aluminium Powder and Sulphur. At the time of cross examination this

witness who is an expert in the examination of explosives has emphatically

denied that the mixture

of

Potassium Chlorate, Aluminium Powder and Sulphur

is being used for making crackers. The defence did not challenge the credibility

of this witness who is an expert in this field. The argument of the defence

is

that the explosives used by the assailants appears to be of negligent strength

like that of crackers and that no injury was caused to anybody including the

assailants

or the

persons who had gathered there.

lt is clear from this

contention that the defence also has no doubt that the explosion was made by
using explosive substances. Though the counsel put forward a contention that

there is doubt regarding the location and regarding the manner in which it was

used,

I could not find any materials to substantiate that contention. I am

satisfied from the evidence of PW231 that explosive substances was used by
one of the assailants for explosion. Pws 1 and 4 identified A6 Shanavas to be

the person who threw the bomb. PW3 and PW4 also stated that A6 was
standing near the omni van with a plastic kit. I am satisfied that the prosecution
was able to prove that 46 Shanavas used explosive substances for explosion.

supported this version

of

PW4. The prosecution has

got a case that

A5

Shamsudhin also sustained injury in the scuffle with PW4. At present there is
no evidence to show as to how A5 had sustained injuries. The prosecution has

examined PW185 to prove that A5 had sustained injuries in the incident.

According PW295, the Deputy superintendent of Police, Muvattupuzha after the

arrest of A5 he sent that accused to hospital with a requisition and accordingly

PW185 Dr.Manoj Ninan, Assistant Surgeon attached

Muvattupuzha examined A5 and issued

to the

Taluk Hospital,

a wound certificate. That wound

certificate was marked through PW1B5. This witness deposed that 20,8.2010 at
3.30 pm he examined A5 Shamsudhin who was brought to the hospital with a

requisition by the police and issued Ext.P317 wound certificate. According to

him, there was a wound below the left knee joint of the injur"ed. lt was not a
fresh wound. He stated that he could not form an opinion with regard to the age

of that wound. There is no evidence to prove as to how that injury

was

sustained and when it was sustained. lt is very pertinent to note that the ocular
witnesses did not say anything about the injuries of A5. Pws L to 4 have no case

that 45 had sustained any injury. Nobody has a case that PW4, in the course of
the transaction attacked A5 and caused injuries to him. As stated above, there
is no evidence to prove that 45 Shamsudhin had sustained any injury in the
incident. Whereas PW4 has specifically stated that he waved MO.t1chopper
towards the assailant who was attacking his father. This evidence is supported

by Pws 1 and 3. The oral evidence tendered by the witnesses would suggest

sufficient material to enter into a conclusion that the assailants had an intention

to murder PW2. He pointed out that though the assailants were equipped with
lethal weapons they spared the life of PW2 knowing fully well that the persons
who had assembled there will take the injured to the nearby hospital. There
was no attempt on the part of the assailants to cause the death of pW2. lt is
argued that what matters is only the intention of the assailants and note the

effect on the injured. They relied on the decision reported in Mangal Singh

and another v. Kishan Singh and others -

2OO9

(2) KLT Supplemental

X399(SC) and argued that the nature of the injuries is not sufficient to prove

that the assailants had the intention to cause the death of the victim. In the
other ruling cited by the defence (Harikishan v. Sukhvir Singh-1988 (2)
KLT SN 57-Case No.8O) the Hon'ble Apex court held that under Section 307
IPC what

the court has to see is. whether the act irrespective of its result, was

done with the intention or knowledge and under circumstances mentioned in

that section. The intention or knowledge of the accused must be such as is

necessary

to constitute murder. Without this ingredient being

established,

there can be no offence of "attempt to murder". Under 5.307 the intention

precedes the act attributed to accused.

158. In State
SC

of Madhya Pradesh v. Kashiram and others (AIR 2009

1642) the Hon'ble Supreme Court held

"lt is sufficient to justify a conviction under

Section 307

if there

is

present an intent coupled with some overt act in execution thereof.

.,

:'

.lt is not essential that bodily injury capable of causing death should

whethertheact,irrespectiveofitsresult,wasdonewiththe
intention or knowledge and under circumstances mentioned in the

section.Therefore,anaccusedchargedunderSection30T|PC
cannot be acquitted merely because the injuries inflicted on the
victim were in the nature of a simple hurt".
The facts of the said case are similar to the case on hand' In that case the
lower part of the left leg of the victim was chopped off. Apart from that injury,

the victim had sustained injuries on his back, right eye and left leg. The trial

court found the accused in that case guilty of offence u/s. 307 IPC and
convicted him under that section. In the appeal the Hon'ble High court of
Madhya Pradesh took a stand that the offence u/s.307 IPC is not made out. The
Hon,ble High Court observed that the doctor has not stated that the injury was

sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature and held that
chopping of the leg from the body cannot be treated sufficient to cause death.

The Hon'ble Supreme Court considered the entire aspects

that the question

and

made

it

clear

as to whether there was intention to kill or knowledge that

death will be caused is a question of fact and would depend on the facts of a

given case. To justify a conviction u/s.307 lPC, it is not essential that bodily
injury capable of causing death should have been inflicted. Although the nature

of injury actually caused may often give considerable assistance incoming to

finding as to the intention of the accused, such intention may also be deduced

from other Circumstances, and may even, in sOme caseS, be ascertained

:;i:rFi

151

there may be cases in which the culprit would be liable under this Section. lt

is

not necessary that the injury actually caused to the victim of the assault should

be sufficient under ordinary circumstances to cause the death of the person

assaulted. What the court has to see is whether the act, irrespective of its

result, was done with the intention or knowledge and under circumstances
mentioned in the Section. The circumstances that the injury inflicted by the
accused was simple or minor will not by itself rule out application of Section

307 lPC. The determinative question is intention or knowledge, as the case

may be, and not nature of the injury. From the above rulings it is clear that in
order to bring the case within the ambit of Section 307, it must be shown that

the accused acted with such intention or

knowledge and under such

circumstances that if by that act he caused the death, he would be guilty of

murder. So the intention or knowledge to commit murder must exist. To justify

conviction under Section 307 lPC, it is not essential that bodily injury capable of
causing death should have been inflicted.

L59. PW265 who treated

PW2 from the

Specialists' hospital has specifically

stated that PW2 had lost massive quantity of blood and was in a state of shock

and almost dying. The allegation of the accused is that there was some
manipulation in the case sheet (Ext.P622) and it was the reason for the delay in
producing the said document before the court. lt is true that the case sheet was

not produced before this court along with final report. lt was summoned by this

'

court at the instance of the prosecution. At the same time it is very pertinent to

pW2,, had

undergone prolonged treatment in the said hospital. There are materials in the
case sheet to show that PW2 was treated from the hospital on 20.06.20i.2, for

some other disease. We cannot find fault with prosecution for not producing

the case sheet along with the final report. I cannot say that the delay in
summoning the case sheet from the hospital is fatal. I do not find any merit in
the contention that there were chances for manipulation in the case sheet.
160. The leamed counsel for

the accused pointed out that

that when A1 inflicted injuries on his left hand, A2 reminded

pW2 has a case

41

that he is

chopping off the wrong hand and directed the latter to chop off the right hand.
According to the learned counsel the said version of PW2 itself is sufficient to
prove that they had no intention to murder PW2.

lt is true that the assailants

did not inflict any injury on the vital parts of the body of PW2. But that is not

ground to suggest that they had no intention to murder PW2.

1-61".

The intention of the assailants can be inferred from their conduct and

deeds. lt is pertinent to note that the assailants had inflicted several cut injuries

and chopped off the right hand of PW2. They did not stop there. One of the
assailants took the severed hand with him, boarded the vehicle and on the way

threw it in a nearby compound. lt is clear from the conduct of that accused that

their intention was to cause delay in getting the severed hand. Fortunately,
PW6 took

the injured to the hospital without wasting time and requested a

woman to search for the severed hand. PW6 has given evidence to that effect.

It is clear from the evidence that the life of PW2 was saved only because of the

timely intervention of the persons who had gathered there. Merely because

nature of the injuries caused to PW2 on his hands and legs and from the
conduct of the assailants who had collected the severed hand and threw it to a

compound, I can very well enter into a conclusion that their intention was to
cause the death of PW2.

162. From the evidence of Pws 1 to 4, I am satisfied that the prosecution

was able to prove that A2, A3 and 45 to 47' along with two others, with

common object to cause the death of PW2, formed themselves into an unlawful
assembly with common object to attack PW2, came to Hostelpady junction in a

Maruthi omni van bearing No.KL.07.AD.7201 (MO.2) driven by A7 Pareed who

stopped the vehicle abruptly in front of the WagonR car of PW2 which was
proceeding from the side of the Nirmala Matha church, that A2, 43, 45 and 46

got down from the omni van with the other two persons, that the side window
glass on the left front was smashed by A2 Jamal with a chopper, 43 attempted

to smash the

windscreen with chopper. PW2 was taken out of the car and

dragged to the backside from where he was attacked by 42. PW2 was forcibly

laid on the road and the right hand of PW2 was chopped off. lt is proved that
PW2 had sustained simple as well as grievous injuries in the attack. When PW4

Mithun made attempt to attack the assailant who was chopping of the right
hand of PW2, A5 Shamsudhin and 46 Shanavas caught him, lifted and pushed

him towards the school ground and thereby caused simple injuries to PW4.

In

the course of the attack. when PW3 got down from the car with an intention to
interfere and to prevent the attack on PW2, A5 Shamsudhin caught her neck

caused explosion. lt is proved that A2 and A3 smashed the windscreen and side

window glass of the WagonR car and caused damage to the said car. From the
conduct of those accused it is explicit that they had an intention to cause the
death of PW2 and they had sufficient knowledge that their act would cause the
death of PW2. I am satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to hold that the

assailants had attempted

to commit murder.

These points are found

accordingly.

L63. Point Nos.9

to 12:-

For the sake of convenience these points can be

considered together. lt is the case of the prosecution that A12 was deputed by
A8 and A28 to purchase an omni van for the purpose of committing the offence.

PWL44 Lawrence was the registered owner of MO.2 omni van bearing No.KL.

07.AH.8768. PW255, Mohanan Joint RTO Thrissur proved Ext.P609, the

RC

particulars of the said omni van. This document would show that the ownershio

of the vehicle was transferred in the name of Lawrence in 2009. According to

PW144 Lawrence, in 2010 he contacted PW51 who is doing the business of
second hand vehicles, to sell the vehicle. On L5.6.2010 at about 2.30 pm pW51

sent two persons to the house of PWl44. After discussions PW144 decided to
sell his omni van for t1,00,000/- to those two persons. They were ready to pay
the full amount and to take delivery of the vehicle. He took those persons to the
shop of PW51 in his omni van. This witness identified A12 from the dock and

Then Joseph,

of PW51 prepared an agreement. This witness spoke that for the

155

purpose of preparing agreement, A12 gave a photocopy of his driving licence.

They signed in the original agreement prepared by Joseph and in its carbon
copy. The original agreement was taken by A12 and the carbon copy (Ext.P45)

was given to him. A12 gave his mobile number. That number was noted in
Ext.P45. Then the vehicle was delivered to A12 Ali, along with the registration

certificate. A12 Ali promised that the ownership of the vehicle will be
transferred in his name within a week, This witness identified MO.2 omni van.

After one week A12 contacted him and expressed his inability to transfer the
ownership and promised that he will make necessary arrangements at the
earliest. When

he

contacted PW51, the latter asked hirn to wait for a week.

After a few days he had occasion to see his omni van in a news item telecast

by a channel in connection with the attack on PW2. lmmediately he tried to

contact Al"2 Ali in the phone number supplied by him, but he did not get AL2.

The person who had attended the phone call stated that his name is Sajeesh.
On that day itself the Circle lnspector of Thrissur West Police station came to his

house and enquired about the omni van. As directed by the officer he reached

at Thrissur West Police station. PW51 Mani was also there. They narrated the
entire incident regarding the sale of the omni van to police. Again on 5.7.20L0
he went to the police station as directed, from where a photo of A12 which was

fed in a computer was shown to him. He confirmed the identity of that person
as the purchaser of his omni van. Then he was directed to appear before the

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Muvattupuzha. As directed by the Deputy

Superintendent of Police, he went to the office of PW294. He identified his omrii
,i-

''r- -

,. ,van from the

premises

of

Muvattupuzha police station. On 9.7.2010, he

copy of the agreemeht,before police. PW51 Mani

156

who is engaged in the sale of second hand vehicles at rhrissur supported the
versions of PWL44 regarding the sale of omni van to A12. This witness added

that for the purpose of preparing the agreement he asked A12 to furnish copy
of his identity card. AL2 was not having his identity card with him. He gave a
photocopy of his driving licence. This witness also identified Ext.P45, the carbon

of the agreement. The copy of the driving licence given by A12 was marked
through this witness as Ext.P46. This witness also identified A12 Ali from dock
and Ext.P1(a) photograph.
164. The learned counsel for the accused challenged the genuineness of
Ext.P45 agreement stating that there is only one attester in that agreement and

that revenue stamp is seen affixed in Ext.p45 which is a carbon copy. His case is

that normally there would be two attestors in a sale agreement and there is no
practice of affixing revenue stamp in a carbon copy. pw51, at the time of cross

examination has admitted that there is no such practice of affixing revenue

stamp on

a carbon copy of

agreement and normally there would be two

attestors to a sale agreement.

lt is to be remembered that the point to be

considered here is not the validity of the agreement. Merely because of the
reason that there was only one attester and a revenue stamp is seen affixed in
Ext.P45, I cannot say that it is not a genuine document. pffi.44 and pW51 who

have no interest in the subject matter of this case need not give any false
evidence regarding the sale of the vehicle.

165. Being the

RC

owner of MO.2, PWL44 was summoned to the police

station ori'. .7.2010 itself. After collecting the details from this witness and

V5f whor:Wls also summoned to Thrissur West Police station, the Circle

Inspector oT potice, Thrissur West directed them to apiepr before him on the
i

t57

next day. On that day they were directed to report before the

Deputy

Superintendent of Police, Muvattupuzha. The evidence tendered by PW144 and

PW51 proves the quick action by the police. There is nothing to doubt about the

conduct of PWL44 and PW51.

166. The defence counsel argued much regarding the omission on the part

of the police in taking

possession

of

Ext,P45 document on 4.7.20L0 itself.

PW144 has stated that on 4.7.20L0, when Circle Inspector of Police, Thrissur

West Police station came to his house he showed Ext.P45 agreement to him.
But it is clear from his version that he did not take that agreement to the police

station in the afternoon of 4.7.20L0 or on the next day. The fact that PW144 did

not produce Ext.P45 before the police on

5.7.2OLO

will not affect

the

genuineness of the prosecution case regarding the recovery of this document.

167.

lt is argued that PW51 is a tutored witness. At the time of cross

examination this witness has admitted that before coming to the court for
giving evidence, some of the officials had read over his 161 statement to him.
According to the learned counsel for the accused, that fact itself is a ground to

reject the evidence tendered by him. But it is very pertinent to note that the

accused have

case

that

A12 Ali and A9 Jafar were working

in

the

establishment of PW51 as Call Drivers. A suggestion was put to this witness to

that effect. The accused has a case that PW5L used to obtain copy of the
driving licence of his drivers, while joining in his establishment as Call Drivers.
This suggestion would support the case of Pws L44 and 51 that Ext p46 is the

copy of the driving licence given by A12. PW51 has stated as to how this copy
gf ,!he

.
itti

driving licence of A12 came to their possession. That evidence of pW51 is

"-suppofted by PW14f. These facts would prove thai Ext.p46, is ttle copy of the

1s8

driving licence of A12 Ali, produced by him atthe time of the sale of MO.2. The
accused was not able to substantiate his contention that Ext.p46, the copy of

the driving licence was given by him to PW51, when he joined in the service of

the latter as a Call Driver. I do not find any reason for PW5L to give false
evidence against A12. There is nothing to disbelieve the evidence tendered by

this witness regarding the sale of MO.2 which belonged to PW144.

L68. PW144, at the time of cross examination has stated that

he

expressed his willingness to give a statement with regard to the incident before

a Magistrate. He wanted to go abroad after completing all the formalities with

regard to the seizure of his vehicle which was sold to A12. He admitted that he

was fed up by the formalities. According to the learned counsel for the
accused, these admissions made by PW144 would show that he was coerced by

the police to give false evidence. On a close scrutiny of the evidence tendered
by this witness and PW51, I cannot say that these witnesses were compelled

by the police to give false evidence. I am fully satisfied that the above
versions

of

PW144 pertaining

said

to the 164 statement given to the learned

Magistrate, is only an exaggeration. lt is not a ground to reject the evidence of

PWL44 with regard to the sale of MO.2. His evidence on this point is supported

by Ext.P45. The contradictions marked by the defence as Ext.Dl5 and D15(a),

CD statement portions are not material contradictions.

169. PW144 has a specific case that on 5.7.2010 when he went to Thrissur

'.'..:.
^/es[-Police

station the Circle Inspector showed a photo of K.K.Ali which was

saved in'the computer. These versions of PW144 inspire confidence. The fact

investigation quickly and were able to collect evidence within a short time.
There is no chance of fabricating documents or creating false evidence by the
prosecution within that short period.

l7O. PW144, the

RC owner

of MO.2 omni van and PW5L who is engaged in

the business of buying and selling used motor vehicles have narrated the entire

deal with those two accused, in specific terms. The evidence of

pW144

regarding the sale of MO.2 omni van bearing No.KL-07/AH.8768 to A12 was
sufficiently corroborated by PW51, I do not find any reason for these witnesses

to

give false evidence against A12, with whom they had no

previous

acquaintance. The prosecution has relied on the call data records of AL2 to

prove that he had been there at Thrissur on 15.6.2010. According to the

prosecution, A12 Ali was having a Airtel mobile phone connection. His number
was 9567693209. PW76 who is the brother and PW234 who is the wife of At 2

stated that they did not know as to whether AL2 was having mobile phone
connection with that number. PW72 Unais who is the brother in law of AL2 also

pretended ignorance about the phone number of A12. But this witness has
identified Ext.P46. the copy of the driving licence produced by pw144, wherein

the phone number of AL2 was seen written. pwz25 who is a

practising

Advocate and Notary Public stated that Ext.p46 is a photocopy of the notarized

copy of the driving licence of A12. In Ext.p45, (carbon copy of the agreement)

and in Ext.P46, the copy of the tD proof given by A12 to pW144, the mobile
phone number of Ali was seen written as 9567693209. This evidence would

160

and copy of the document submitted by A12 as proof of identification were

marked as Ext.C5 and C5(a) respectively. That application form was in the name
of A12 Ali. The Call Data Records (in short CDR) of the said number 9567693209

was marked as Ext.P620. Ext.c6 is the BTS list of Bharathi Airtel, Kerala circle

showing

the mobile tower location. (The

genuineness and admissibility

of the

accused has challenged the

CDR. The question regarding the

admissibility of theCDR will be considered later in detail). This CDR in the name

of K.K.Ali would prove that on 15.6.2010 between 07:16 hours and 08:40 hours
the above said phone number was at the location of Cell lD No.7353 and 7351;

that is Kothamangalam area. On that day at L2.48 noon that phone was at

Cell

lD No.19123, Vengoor, Ernakulam and at 13.14 hours it was at Muringoor

Thrissur district. At 13:21 hours the phone

hours

was

in

at Chalakkudy and at 13:35

it was at Nellai, at 14:39 hours it was at Thrissur Kunnathangadi

and

15:24 hours it was at Olarikkara, Thrissur. At 16:00 hours that phone was at
Thrissur West Fort location and 18:13 hours it was at Perumbavoor in Ernakulam

district. These Call Data Records would prove that AL2 had been there at
Thrissur

in the afternoon of

15.6.2010. In short

am satisfied that the

prosecution was able to prove that MO.2 omni van having registration No.KL-07AH-8768 was purchased by A12 K.K.Ali and another from PW144 for a sum of
<l-,00,000/-.

171. The prosecution has examined

PW53 Amanullah

to prove that A12

had handed over the RC book, insurance certificate etc. in his shop an!
case and stated that

I

161

172. Pws 1 to 4 identified MO.2 omni van as the van used by the assailants

to come to the spot. PW188 seized the said vehicle from the possession of

A9

within two hours after the attack on PW2, There is cogent evidence to show that

the said vehicle was purchased by A12 K.K.Ali from PW144 Lawrence

on

15.6.2010. PW184, the finger print expert proved that the chance finger print
collected by him from the rear view mirror in the omni van was found to be that

of A7. PWs L to 4 have proved that A7 was the driver of the van in which A2.
A3, A5 and 46 came to the spot along with two others. Though there is no
evidence to prove that A12, after purchasing the vehicle handed over the same

to A28, there is sufficient evidence to prove all the link in the chain regarding

the purchase of MO.2 by

A1',2,

its use by the assailants in the attack and its

seizure from A9. I am satisfied that the prosecution was able to prove that MO.2

omni van purchased by 4L2 was used by A2, A3 and A5 to A7 to reach at the
place of incident. A12 has no explanation as to how MO.2 omni van came into

the possession of A1 to A7 who had attacked PW2. The silence of A12 itself
would prove his involvement in the offence.

173. The prosecution case is that in pursuance of the conspiracy A9

reached

at lrumalappady on his motor cycle bearing No.KL-44l8029

(MO.23),

parked it in front of Royal Hotel and waited the assailants. By that time A7
Pareed reached there with the omni van.

lt is the case of the prosecution that

on the way to lrumalappady 43 alighted at Varapetty with the weapons. Then

A7 brought the vehicle to lrumalappady with the other assailants and handed
over the vehicle to A9 for disposal. A7 and the other assailants escaped

174. The definite case of the prosecution is that while A9 was taking the

omni van for disposal, he was intercepted by PW188 at Vattakkattupady. lt

is

the case of the prosecution that from lrumalappady junction MO.2 omni van was
handed over by 47 to A9 Jafar who took

it

along the Kalady

Perumbavoor

route. On the way A9 disposed off the fake number plates. When A9 reached at
Vattakkattupady, PW188 who was conducting vehicle checking duty as per the

instructions issued by the Superintendent of Police, Rural through wireless,

intercepted the vehicle. The version of PW18B is that while he was conducting

vehicle checking duty as per the instructions, at around 9.25 am a white

Maruthi omni van bearing No.K1.07.AH.8768 came from Muvattupuzha side.

There was no other person in the vehicle. He questioned the driver and
collected the address of that driver. Then he inspected the vehicle and found
broken glass pieces on the back seat. Further he saw blood stains on the seat

facing back and on the top of roof of the sliding door. A9 could not produce the
registration certificate, insurance certificate etc. On the basis of the information
passed by

him,

PW236, the Circle Inspector of Police, Perumbavoor came to the

place and made enquiries. Thereupon PW236 directed PW188 to take the

vehicle into custody. Accordingly he prepared Ext.P321 seizure mahazar

wherein his driver Salim also signed as a witness. Then he himself drove the
omni van to Perumbavoor Police Station and brought A9 along with him' When

he reached the police station premises PW236 asked him to produce A9 and

PW294 along

with a report. PW236 The Circle lnspector of Perumbavoor

atso

supported the versions of PW188 on this point.

175. According to the learned counsel for the accused, there was
inordinate delay in producing MO.2 alleged to have been seized by pW188,
before the investigating officer. His main contention is that the prosecution
could not give any explanation for the delay. PW18B said that he produced MO.2

omni van before PW294

possession of MO.2 at 3

at 1.15 pm. Whereas

PW294 stated that he took

pm. According to the learned counsel for the accused,

in between 1.15 pm and 3 pm several manipulations have been made by the

police. This argument of the learned counsel does not seems to be correct.
There is no dispute that PW188 has produced A9 and the vehicle after 1.L5 pm

and left the premises around L.30

pm.

PW294 has stated

that he reached the

police station around 2 pm and saw A9 Jafar in the police station. lt is clear from

their evidence that they did not mention the exact time of production of A9 or
MO.2. Whereas PW1BS has specifically stated that he produced A9 and MO.2

before PW294. PW294 has admitted that A9 was produced before him by
PW188. The definite case of PW294 is that on production of A9 Jafar by pW18B,

he questioned that accused and arrested him at 4 pm.

lt is very pertinent

to

note that no question was put by the defence to PW294 about the time of
production of MO.2 before him by PW188. Even if there is some confusion in the

evidence tendered by PW188 and PW294 regarding the exact time of the

it will not render the evidence of these two official

untrustworthy. I cannot accept the contention that these polic6

officials joined together and started to manipulate things as and when they got
inforr.Eation. about

the attack on PW2. why shoulp pw294 who was the circle

164
Inspector

of

Police, Muvattupuzha and PWL88 the sub Inspector

of

police,

Perumbavoor manipulate things? There is an allegation that the then Director

General of Police, interfered in the investigation and as per his directions his

subordinate officers manipulated evidence. I do not find any merits in this

argument.

lt

is to be noted that the investigation was done by Mr.Shams, the

circle Inspector of Police. He emphatically denied the suggestion put forward by

the learned counsel for the accused that it was the DGp who had constituted

the investigation team. This witness further denied that the DGp had issued
instructions to him to incorporate all the provisions of criminal law against the

assailants. lt is admitted by PW294 that after the incident the DGp had visited
Muvattupuzha. That does not mean DGP came to that place

to influence

his

subordinate officers. As stated above there is no merit in the allegation put

forward by the defence regarding the interference of DGp. There is nothing to
suspect about the visit of DGP. No doubt, it was such a heinous crime. lt was a

brutal attack on a professor by fundamentalists. I can not ignore the fact that

the Government, considering the seriousness of the crime, directed the NIA to
investigate the case. The impact of the crime on the public was so dreadful. I do
not find anything suspicious in the visit of DGp, in such a serious case. on the

other hand he took prompt action on time. That is to be appreciated. There is

nothing before me to suggest that police officials had manipulated evidence
against the accused due to the influence of higher officials.

_I76 From the evidence of PW188 and PW294 it is clear that MO.2 omni
van was handed over by PW188 to PW294 directly and thereafter the omni van
was under the custody of PW294. lt is very pertinent to note that pw1g3 and

PW184 have specifically stated that they inspected ,the omni van from the
't-

165

police station premises as directed by PW294 in the afternoon of 4.7.2010.

There is no reason to disbelieve the evidence tendered by these two official
witnesses with regard to the time of inspection of the vehicles from the police

station premises. Their evidence would also support the prosecution case that
MO.2 was in the custody

of

PW294, after

its production by PW188 before

PW294.

I77.'fhe apprehension of the defence counsel was that the police officers
had manipulated things from the police station. His attempt was to make it
appear that the detection of broken glass pieces and blood stains alleged to

have been found in the vehicle

is a story put forward by the

police

subsequently. I cannot accept the contention. lt is very pertinent to note that in

Ext.P321 mahazar prepared by PW188 at the time of taking possession of the

vehicle from A9 at Vattakkattupady,

it

has been specifically stated that he

found broken glass pieces on the back seat and blood stains on the seat on the
back side of the driver's seat. lt is clearly mentioned in the mahazar

that

there

was an attempt to sweep the blood stains. From the evidence of PWL88

it

is

clear that the broken glass pieces and the .blood stains found in that vehicle

raised suspicion

in his mind and therefore he demanded the documents

pertaining to the vehicle, but A9 could not produce any of the documents.
These endorsements in Ext.P321 would support that the evidence of pW188
and PWL83 that they found blood stains and broken glass pieces in the vehicle.
The fact that Ext.P321 does not contain the signature of independent witnesses

166

witness stated that nobody had come to the place

interception of the van. He denied that

of

seizure of MO.2 during the

it is a busy road. According to him,

there is only one bus service through the said road. He added that though some
persons had come along the road, on seeing him they avoided that way. This

witness has specifically denied the suggestion put forward by the learned
counsel for the accused that there were two or three houses in the vicinity. He

has admitted that there were some plywood factories near the place of
occurrence but all of those factories were bounded by big compound walls. I am

satisfied that the explanation given by PW188 for not getting the presence of

any independent witness during the preparation of Ext.P321 is reasonable and

acceotable.
178. lt is true that there is a correction in the time shown in Ext.P321. On

the last line of Ext.P32L the time is seen corrected as 9.50 am. I cannot say that

this is a material alteration. In the first part of that mahazar PW18B had
mentioned the time of getting information and the
Vattakkattupady.

lt

time of his arrival at

has been specifically stated in that mahazar that the omni

van driven by A9 reached the spot at 9.25 am. His evidence is that, after
inspecting the vehicle he questioned A9, then informed PW236 the Circle
Inspector, PW236 came to the spot and after verification PW236 directed him

to take the vehicle to the police station. From the recitals in Ext.P321 it is clear

that it is not a material alteration. lt would not affect the genuineness of the
said mahazar.

L79. Jhe learned counsel for the accused challenged the genuineness of

Ext.P848 report submitted by PW188 to PW294 and pointed out the delay in

'
.pro.duqing

tha't report before

t\e

court. That document is seen produced before

167

this court on74.2.2014 only. According to the defence counsel, it is a fabricated

one. The argument of the learned counsel for the accused is that this is a report

fabricated by the prosecution to cover up the unexplained delay in producing

the vehicle. Here

it is very pertinent to note that pW18B, in the chief

examination itself has specifically stated that when he met PW294 at 1.L5 pm

for handing over A9 and the vehicle, PW294 directed him to produce the
accused and vehicle with a report. Accordingly he produced the accused and
MO.2 with a report. On the next day of examination

of PW188 the prosecution

has produced that report with a petition and it was received. I cannot believe

that the NIA officials had fabricated this document within 24 hours after the
examination of PW188. First of all PW188 need not give any false evidence on

this point. He has got a specific case that after examining the vehicle at
Vattakkattupady, he prepared a mahazar and brought A9 and the vehicle to the

police station. PW294 has specifically stated that he had mentioned about
Ext.P848 report in the GD.

not consider

it

lt is clear from the evidence of PW294 that he did

as a relevant document as it was produced by a police officer

before another police officer. Even

if it is assumed that there is no such

document, I cannot say that the evidence tendered by PW188 regarding the

of

seizure

MO.2 omni van from the possession

of A9 is not reliable.

The

evidence of PW188 on this point is supported by PW236 the Circle lnspector of

Police, Perumbavoor. PW236 has stated that, as per the information given by
PW188 he went to Vattakkattupady, saw A9 and the vehicle along with PW188,

examined the vehicle and found broken glass pieces in the van and blood stains

.":

168

A9 Jafar from the court. As stated above I do not find any reason to disbelieve

the evidence of PW188 and PW236. Further, from the suggestion put forward by
the learned counsel for the accused to PW294, it could be seen that there is an

entry in the GD about Ext.P848 report filed by PW188 pertaining to the

production

of

MO.2 omni van. On going through the entire evidence, I cannot

say Ext.P848 is a fabricated one. The delay in producing the same before this

couft is not sufficient to raise any reasonable suspicion about the genuineness
of that report.

l-80. The learned counsel for the accused relied on a statement given by
PW144

at the time of

evidence and argued that the entire case

of

the

prosecution regarding the seizure of MO.2 is a cooked up story. PW144 who had
sold the omni van to A12 stated that he saw a white omni van in a news item

telecast by a TV channel relating to the attack on PW2 on 4.7.20'l-O at 9.45 am.

lmmediately he tried to contact A12 K.K.Ali. The learned counsel for the
accused relied on this statement of PW144 and submitted that if that be so, the

vehicle might have been seized by the police before 9.43 am. Ext.P620 CDR
would show that there was an incoming call in the phone number of A12 on
4.7.20L0 at 9:43:25 hours from 9847380528. which is the number of PW144.

This entry in the CDR corroborates the evidence of PW144 that he tried to

contact A1-2 in the above said number. The evidence of PW188 is that he
intercepted MO.2 omni van at 9.25 am at a place Vattakkattupady and gave
information to the Circle Inspector of Police. lf the evidence of PW144 that he

lthe fact that the information regarding the,"attack and the vehicle used by,,the

169

assailants with the number have been passed through wireless set.

lt is to be

noted that the incident was happened near a church, that too immediately after

the dispersement of the people who attended the Sunday Mass. PW17 Vicar of

the Nirmala Matha Church stated that normally around 350 persons

would

attend the Sunday Holy Mass. In such a situation the news will be flashed within
no

time. Naturally it will be aired by the TV channel without any delay. In such

a situation, some TV channel might have shown a white omni van in the news

item. lt is very pertinent to note that PW144 has not stated that he had seen

the omni van which was sold by him, The incident was at about 8.05 am.
PW188 and PW236

have specifically stated that the omni van was intercepted

by PW188 at a place Vattakkattupady. I do not find any reason to disbelieve the

evidence tendered by these witnesses on this point. lt is clear

that there was

no chance of showing the omni van which was seized by the police at 9.25 am

at an interior place, in the news at 9.43 am. There was no chance of seeing his

white omni van in the news item telecast at 9.43 am. Even if it is assumed that
the

T.V. Channel men showed a

white omni van in the news item relating to the

attack on PW2, it cannot be said that it was MO.2 Maruthi omni van. There is no
reason to reject the evidence tendered by PW1BB regarding the seizure of MO.2

from the possession of A9 at Vattakattupady. The prosecution was able to prove

its case that A9 Jafar was apprehended by PW188 along with MO.2 omni van at
Vattakkattupady.

i,."

of PW294 is that on 5.7.2010,.on the basis of the cronfession statement given by

i

t70

A9 and as led by that accused he reached at Periyarvalley canal bund at

Methala at 9 am and recovered the broken pieces of the number plate (MO.1),

in the

presence

of

witnesses as per Ext.P115 seizure mahazar. Then on

9.7.20L0, while A9 was in custody, he proceeded to Periyarvalley canal bund at

Methala as per the confession statement given by that accused and recovered

MO.3 in the presence of witnesses as per Ext.P154 mahazar. The relevant

portion

of the confession statement was marked as Ext.P154(a). The

independent witnesses in Ext.Pl15 and P154 seizure mahazars turned hostile to

the prosecution and denied having seen the recovery of MO.1 and MO.3. But it
is very pertinent to note that these witnesses have admitted the presence of
police officers at the places from where Ext.P115 and PL54 were prepared.
These witnesses have stated that police came to that place. Further it is clear

from the evidence of these witnesses that they were present at that place at

the time of preparation of those two seizure mahazars. lt is true that

PW10B

Koyan, at the time of cross examination stated that the police had obtained his

signature after 4 or 5 days. No doubt this version of PW108 that he did not see

the recovery of MO1 is utter falsehood. Merely because of the reason that these
witnesses have denied the recovery of MO.1 and MO.3, the evidence tendered

by PW294 regarding the recovery of these material objects cannot be rejected.

This evidence of PW294 is sufficiently supported by PW201 and PW206, the
police officers who had accompanied him. The fact that PW108 and PW135
denied the seizure would not discredit the evidence of Pws 294, 20L and 206. ln

Halappa Pujar and Others v. State of Karnataka

(2OO7) 13

e Hon'ble Supreme Court had occasion to discuss the evidence of

t7t
The Hon'ble Supreme Court has made it clear that the fact that some witnesses

turned hostile is not a reason to discard the evidence of other eye witnesses. lt

was held that there is nothing unusual in a criminal trial that many a times
independent witnesses who do not want to incur the wrath of the accused will

turn hostile at the trial. lt is the tendency on the part of the persons to play
safe by remaining neutral.

182. lt is very pertinent to note that the prosecution has a definite

case

that the accused some how managed to win over the witnesses. The learned
Public Prosecutor pointed out the admission made by an independent witness
who was examined as PW117. This witness was examined to prove the seizure

of the motor cycle of 43 Shobin. This witness has denied his signature in the
mahazar for the seizure of the motor cycle. When the learned Public Prosecutor

put some questions to this witness after seeking permission from this court, he
stated that he did not remember as to whether police had questioned him. Then

he added that he is a heart patient and he has some memory problem and
started to weep. This witness has admitted that on that day he came to this
court along with

an

accused

and Meerakutty (father of 43). The evidence of

the official witnesses cannot be rejected on the sole ground that their evidence
regarding the seizure

is not supported by independent witnesses. In this

judgment I do not want to conduct a postmortem and find out as to how or why

most of the independent witnesses turned hostile to the prosecution. The

learned counsel for the accused blamed the prosecution stating that the
attestors

to most of the mahazars

are police officials

and therefore their

ev.idence cannot be relied upon. At this juncture I want.to.make

it clear that

almost all the arrest memos were prepafed from the police station at the

i'r

time

172

of the arrest of the accused. The definite case of the prosecution is that the
accused were brought to the police station and after interrogation they arrested

the accused from the premises of the police station. Further

it

is to be noted

that several documents and material objects were produced by the witnesses

in

the police station. Merely because the reason that there is no independent
witness in some mahazars, it cannot be said that these mahazars are all forged
documents

by

police officials. The prosecution was able to explain the reason

for not getting the presence of independent witnesses at the time of arrest of
accused and at the time of preparation of documents from the police station
premises. I can very well say that the investigating officers had made all efforts

to conduct investigation in the proper manner. Simply because of the reason

that the witnesses who are the attestors in various mahazars turned hostile to

the prosecution, the versions of the police officials cannot be thrown out. The
mere fact that PW108 and PW135, attestors

to

Ext:P115 and P154 turned

hostile, will not render the evidence of the police officers who had effected the
seizure and prepared the mahazar untrustworthy.

183. lt is true that PW201 ASI of police who had signed in Ext.PLL5 as an

attester could not identify A9 Jafar from the court. lt is not a material defect. lt
is a fact that at the time of the recovery of MO.3 on9.7.2OIO, A9 was in police

custody. The failure to identify an accused by a police officer who was in the

team for assisting the investigating officer, cannot be said to be a material

defect. lt is clear from the evidence of PW294 that at the time of recovery of
,

- tl

MO.1, A9 was in his custody. He produced A9 before court only after effecting
received

to create

L73

false evidence against A9.

184. The prosecution case is that immediately after the incident, 42, 43,

A5 and 46 along with 41 and A4 escaped from the spot in MO.2, driven by A7
and proceeded to lrumalappady. As per the previous plan the vehicle had to be
handed over to A9. For that purpose A9 was waiting at lrumalappady. To prove

the presence of A9 at lrumalappady on 4.7.20L0 the prosecution has examined

his wife Shereena (PW78), his father Meeran (PW81) and some other witnesses.
Pws 78 and 81 denied

that in the early moming ot 4.7.20LO, A8 contacted A9

over phone and made arrangements for the same. These witnesses stated that

they did not know anything about such a call. PW69 who is a neighbour of A9
denied that on 4.7.2010 he found A9 proceeding on his motor cycle. PW59 who

is a relative of the owner of Hotel Royal at lrumalappady has denied that he

had occasion

to

see A9 who came to the hotel for taking tea on 4.7.2010.

These four witnesses were declared hostile.

185. lt is proved by PW52 that he had sold the said motor cycle bearing
No.KL-44l8029 (MO.23) to A9 Jafar. According to him, this motor cycle belonged

to his relative Hashim who was working abroad. Hashim had authorised him to
sell that motor cycle to A9. Accordingly he sold

it to A9 for t15,000/-. The

prosecution to make the case more believable, examined PW174, Joint

RTO,

Kothamangalam who has stated that the registered owner of that motor cycle is

one Hashim, S/o Kareem, Kunnassery House, Eramalloore. The evidence of

PW52 regarding the sale of the motor cycle which belonged to Hashim to A9 is

not challenged by the defence. lt is very pertinent to note that A9 lafar himself

,got the motor cycle (MO.23) released under Section 451 Cr.P.C.

186. PW294 has got a specific case that, on 5.7.2010 he went to

t74

lrumalappady as per the confession statement given by A9 and as led by that

accused and recovered MO.23 motor cycle which was parked in front of the
Royal Hotel. PW60, Bava who is the owner of the Royal Hotel, lrumalappady

admitted his signature in Ext.P52 mahazar prepared by PW294 on 5.7.2010 for

the seizure of MO.23. lt is true that this witness has turned hostile. But he has
admitted that police had obtained his signature in Ext.P52 mahazar from his

hotel. The admission made by this witness that he had signed in the said
mahazar from his shop would prove that police came to lrumalappady. ln this

circumstance

I can very well accept the

contention

of

PW294

that he had

recovered the said motor cycle (Mo.23) from a place in front of Royal Hotel at

lrumalappady on 5.7.2010 at L1 am. Here the prosecution has proved that the

motor cycle of Jafar was found at lrumalappady on 5.7.2010. A9 Jafar has no

explanation as to how his motor cycle happened to be there at lrumalappady
on that day. These facts would prove the prosecution case that A9 had been at
f

rumalappady on 4.7.2OIO with his motor cycle. After parking the said motor

cycle at lrumalappady he took MO.2 and proceeded to perumbavoor side. I am

satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the allegations against

A9.

ln

short the prosecution was able to prove the involvement of A9 Jafar in the
incident.

187. Pws

1to 4 have specifically stated that on 4.7.2Oi.0 the assailants

came to the spot in Maruthi omni van bearing No.KL.07.AD.7201. This number

_ - is seen mentioned in Ext.P318 seizure mahazar prepared by pW243 at the time

..

.,,

of the:seizure of the logbook. Further in Ext.P321 mahazar prepared by pW1B8

i! has been specifically stated that he got information about the attack

on,Prof.

Joseph at 8.15 am through wireless set and that the numbrer of the vehicle used

L75

by the assailants was KL.07.AD.7201. The number of the vehicle seized by him

from 49 was KL.7.AH.8768. The learned counsel for the accused put several

'

suggestions to Pws l- to 4 to the effect that they did not mention the digit '0' in

the registration number, to any of the investigating officers. The investigating

officer (PW294), when cross examined on this point stated that though the
witnesses had mentioned

'0'

he omitted to write digit '0'. In Ext.P321 and p318

also '0' is not seen written in the registration number. There also PW188 did not
mention

'0'.

So it is clear that it was a usual practice. lt cannot be said that it is

material omission. lt has no relevance at all.

188. According to Pws L to 4, there was a sticker of Holy Family on the

windscreen of MO.2 van. But

it is very pertinent to note that they have not

stated anything about the said sticker to any of the investigating officers. Had

there been any such sticker on the windscreen definitely PW188 would have
mentioned the same

in

Ext.P321 seizure mahazar. Further

I could not find

anything regarding the sticker in Ext.P84B report submitted by PW188 before

PW294.

lt is to be noted that none of the witnesses has stated about such a

sticker before any of the investigating officers. Therefore the evidence tendered

by Pws 1 to 4 regarding the sticker of Holy Family is to be eschewed as it is a

material omission.

189.

Pws 1

to 4 have identified

MO.2

from the court. They had sufficient

opportunity to see the vehicle at the place of incident. The defence could not

point out any contradiction in the versions of these witnesses with regard to

176

Joint RTO, Aluva produced the RC particulars

of No.KL-07-AD-720I (Ext.P612)

and stated that as per the registration certificate it was not a Maruthi vehicle
but a Santro car manufactured by Hyundai. As per the said document the owner
of the vehicle is one Jose (PW114). PWL14 Jose, who is an employee in Federal
Bank has stated that he is having a Santro car with registration No.KL.O7.AD.

720I. PWL44 who was the registered owner

of

vehicle No. KL.07.AH.8768

identified that vehicle from the premises of Muvattupuzha police station on tfie

next day itself. PW176 the Assistant Motor Vehicle Inspector, Muvattupuzha
stated that on 7.1.2011 he inspected Maruthi omni van bearing No.KL.O7.AH.
8768 at the premises of Muvattupuzha police station and prepared a report.
Ext.P302 is the report. This witness deposed that on verification he found that

the engine number of the Maruthi van was F881N227L933 and the chassis
number was ST911N524169. Ext.P609. the RC .particulars issued by

PW255

would show that the engine number and chassis number of the vehicle in the

name

of

PW144 were same. That vehicle was seized by PWL88 from the

possession of A9 on the date of incident, within 90 minutes after the attack.

Further there is evidence to show that MOs 1 and 3, the broken pieces of the

number plates having registration No.KL-07-AD-720L were recovered by PW294

as per the confession statements of

connect

A9.

Here the prosecution was able to

all the link with regard to the use of MO.2 Maruthi omni van by the

assailants by using a fake number and its seizure from A9. I am satisfied that it

177

conspiracy had arranged fake number plates for the vehicle used by the
assailants. PWs 1to 4 have identified MO.1 and MO.3, the pieces of the numoer
plates from the court. Further it is proved by prosecution that information about

the number of the vehicle used by the assailants was passed through wireless
set. Ext.P3L8 seizure mahazar prepared at the time of the seizure of logbook
would show that the said number K1.07.AD.7201 has been noted in the log

book.

PW294 has proved

Periyarvalley canal bund

that he recovered MO.1 and MO.3 from the

at Methala on 5.7.2010 and 9.7.2010. as per the

confession statements given by A9 Jafar. lt is already found that the assailants

came to the spot in MO.2 omni van with fake number KL.07.AD.720L and that
number plates fixed on the said vehicle were subsequently seized by PW294 as
per the statement given by A9.

191. PW291 the ASP of Aluva deposed that on 10.7.2010 at L2.l_5 noon,
after obtaining search warrant from the concerned Magistrate he searched the
house of A29 Kasim at Kunjunnikkara, Kadungalloor village and seized 36 items

from the said house as per Ext.P744 search list. lt is very pertinent to note that
the accused did not challenge the prosecution case that A29 is the owner of the
house searched by PW291. No question is seen put to PW291 challenging his
evidence with regard to the ownership of that house, from where the SSLC book
and ration card of A29 and Ext.P747 the personal diary of his wife were seized.

At the time of examination under Section 313 of

Cr.P.C.

the search, but he did not deny that he is the owner of that house. The
evidence tendered by PW291, who is a responsible IPS officer on this point is

supported by two other officers. I do not find any' reason to disbelieve the
evidence tendered by PW291 regarding the search and seizure from the house

of A29.

lt

is to be noted that this accused has even denied the phone number

issued in his name. Even then he did not prefer to challenge the prosecution
case that he

is

the owner of that house. I cannot ignore the fact that pW291,

along with MO.179 series seized the SSLC book and ration card of A29 from that
house. The address given in Ext.P745 SSLC book and Ext.P746 ration card are
same. These documents also would prove that he is residing in that house.

192. lt is true that during cross examination of PW291 a suggestion was put

to that witness about the persons living in that house. He did not give any
specific answer to that question, but

it is not a ground to

reject his entire

version regarding the seizure made from that house. As per Ext.p746 ration
card, the inmates of that house are A29 and his wife Subaida. The entries in the

ration card would prove that A29 and his wife are residing there. There is no

other name in the ration card. That fact itself is sufficient to prove

that

the

house from where his SSLC book and ration card were seized, belonged to him

and

it was in his possession. In this circumstance I can very well accept the

contention of the prosecution that the house wherein PW291 conducted search
on 10.7.2010 belongs to A29.

time of the search conducted by PW291 in the

asim, nobody was there in the house, so he had to broke open
presence of witnesses. I do not find any reason to disbelieve the

by this IPS officer who was a memb.er in the investigation

1.79

team. The police officers who had conducted investigation or the police officer

who had seized the items from the house of A29 had no personal grudge or
enmity towards him. I do not find any reason for these officials to foist a case on

the accused.
194. According to PW291, he had seized 36 items of properties from the

said house. He stated that those items seized from the house of A2g were
produced before the court. Ext.P744 search list prepared by PW291 for the
seizure of those properties would show that the said search list was received in

the court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Aluva on I2.7.2010. 10.7.2010 and

ll.7.2O]O were holidays. Therefore the properties were sent to the court on
I2.7.20LO. According to the learned Public Prosecutor there was no delay in
producing these documents in the court. The date seal affixed in the property

list from the court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Muvattupuzha would
show that the said property list was received in that court on 22.9.2010 only.
Those items were seen produced along with the same property list before the

court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Aluva. lt was retumed from that court

with direction to produce before the proper court. The date of production of
those properties before the court of the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Aluva

is

not seen written in that property list. lt does not show whether it was produced

on

L2.7.20LO

or

subsequently. Whereas Ext.P744 would show

that it

was

received in the Court at Aluva on 12.7.2OIO itself. lt would prove the version of
PW291 that there was no delay

in producing the items before the

court.

According to the learned Public Prosecutor, those items were produced along
with,Ext.P744, but when it was returned the office of the court has omitted to

tr flot the date of return of those properties,'lt
t
"

no

180

discrepancy was noted by the office of the Judicial First Class Magistrate,
Muvattupuzha, when the items were produced in that office. Had there been
any difference in the descriptions of the properties in the list and'the properties
produced, it would have been returned from that court. Material objects will be
received in court only after verification. But no such discrepancy was noted by

the concerned court. That itself would prove that no manipulations have been
made in the material objects produced before the court. Merely because of the
reason that the date seal on the property list affixed by the office of the Court

of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Muvattupuzha bears the date 22.9.2010,

cannot say that there was inordinate delay in producing the same before

court. lt is clear from the evidence that those items were produced in the office
of the court at Aluva on I2.7.2010 itself. There is nothing to disbelieve the said
contention. The omission in showing the date of production and return of the

properties before the court of Judicial First Class Magistrate, Aluva will not
render the evidence of PW291 unreliable. As per Section 102 of Cr.P.C. the
police officer has to report the seizure to the Magistrate forthwith. lt does not
say that the properties also should be produced before the Magistrate forthwith.

The question is whether any manipulations have been done in the properties
and whether any prejudice has been caused to the accused due to the delay in
producing the material objects before the Magistrate. As pointed out above, no

discrepancy has been noted by the concerned office. Those items were seen
accepted in the office of the court at Muvattupuzha without any objection. In
short, there is nothing to suggest that there was inordinate delay in producin-g

the items before court. On the other hand the evidence of PW291 and the date
seal on Ext.P744 would show that these items were produced before the court
t-

i81

oiJr-rdiciai First Class Magisiraie, Aluv'a without atry cielay"'flte argunlent cn this

point that there was inordinate delay in producing these items is

acceptable. Even

not

if it is assumed that there was delay there is nothing to

suggest that prejudice has been caused to the accused due to the delay.

195. Another important point raised by the learned counsel for the
accused is that the attestors to Ext.P744 are not from that locality. He has cited

rulings in Khalaksingh and others V. State

of

M.P. -

(f992 Cri.L.J. 1150),

Pradeep Narayan Madgaonkar etc. v. State of Maharashtra

SC

1930

S.N. 79

and Vrjay Takur v. State

AIR 1995

of Himachal Pradesh (2014(4) KLT

Case No.1O2) and argued that discovery evidence cannot be wholly

relied upon when chain of events is incomplete.

lt

is further argued that the

recovery of articles of crime from a house not in exclusive possession of the

accused cannot be relied upon. According to him, the failure of the police to get

any independent witnesses of locality would create doubt regarding

the

genuineness of the versions of investigating officers regarding the recovery. lt is

already found that there is clinching evidence to prove that the said building
was in the absolute possession of A29. lt is true that PW291 could not deny the

suggestion that one of the attestors is residing about 45 kilometers away from

the house of A29 and the other attestor is residing about 10 kilometers away
from that place. Further it is admitted that there are several houses in that
locality. On that sole ground I cannot say that his evidence regarding seizure is
untrustworthy, At the time of cross examination this witness has stated that he

two persons from the place where his vehicle was stopped and went to the

of A29 along with those two persons. The learned Public

Prosecutor

Iir

.l

true that Vimalan, who is an attestor to Ext.p744 is resrding far avvay frorn thr
house of A29. But there is nothing to support the contentiorr of the defence that

Kunjumuhammad, the other attestor to Ext.p744 is residing 10 kms away from

the house of A29. lt remains as a suggestion. whereas it is seen from the

address given in Ext.P744 that he is a resident of Kunjunnikara in Kadungalloor

village. The house of A29 situates at the same place in the same village. The

fact that PW291 could not say the distance between the houses of A29 and
Kunjumuhammad who is an attestor

to Ext.p744, is not sufficient to

suggesr

that Kunjumuhammad is not a resident of that locality. There is nothing to

disbelieve the evidence tendered by pw291 regarding the seizure of items from

the house of A29 or about its genuineness. Further there is nothing to suspect

that manipulations have been made by the police, after the recovery of those
material objects.
196. During the trial the prosecution filed an application to send the stickers

(Mo.179 series) which were seized from the house of A29

to the

Forensic

Science Laboratory, Thiruvananthapuram for comparison with the pieces of the

sticker affixed on Mo.1 and Mo.3 number plates. That petition was allowed and

those items were forwarded

to

FsL. PW235, Rahila. scientific Assistant

(Physics), FSL stated that on 22.5.201,4 she received the parcel sent from this

court, consisted of three sealed packets. The impression of seal was found in

tact. lt was corresponding to the specimen impression forwarded from this

court. ltem No.1 in the packet contained MO.1, two pieces of broken number

plate.'ltem No.2 contained a broken piece of number plate and item

No.3

contained six unsealed packets. Those unsealed packets containing black

coloureclsticker with cut out letters, digits and symbpls were numbered as 3(a)

183

to tf). This witness stated that she conrpared those items nllcl prepared
Ext.p713 report and forwarded the same to the court through the Director.
Ext.P714 is the covering letter signed by the Director, FSL. The results of
examination is as follows:-

l.Materials of the number plates contained in item no.1 and 2 are similar.
2.Black colour materials of the digits/letters/symbols of the number plates
contained in item no.1 and 2 and that contained in item no.3 are similar.
3.Small size cut out of the spaces inside the letters/digits A, D and 0 contained

in item no.3 (f) are the parts of corresponding letters/digits contained in item
no.1.

4.Large size cut out of space inside the digit 0 contained in item no.3(f) is the

part of corresponding digit contained in item no.2.

5.Two out of three of the symbols contained in item no.1 could be the missing

symbols from the material objects contained in item no.3(c) and 3(f).

According to her, she conducted microscopic examination of the symbols and

found that the edge characteristics of the symbols contained in item No.l. and

the missing symbols from item No.3(c) and (f) were similar. When similar
examination were conducted for the examination of letters and digits she found

that those were the exact replica of the corresponding letters and digits. She
identified the stickers numbered as 3(a) to (f) as MOs.179 series. I could not

find any serious cross examination by the defence on this point. Here the

contention that pieces of the sticker used for making Mo.1 were found in

179 (e) which was seized from the house of A29.

197. The defence has cited the rulings in Mayadhar swain v.

state of

orissa 2oo1(1) Ktr sN 87 (case No.lo7) and Abu v. state of Kerala

2oo9(4) KLT s.N,73 and pointed out that the proof of conscious possession of

the contraband article is necessary to sustain conviction. Those rulings are

rendered in cases under Narcotic Drugs and psychotropic substances Act and
Explosive Substances Act. In such cases possession of contraband articles itself
is an offence. In such cases the prosecution has to prove beyond all reasonable

doubt the conscious possession. so those rulings are not applicable to the case

on hand. Here the facts are different. I cannot ignore the fact that along with
Mo.179 series, the ssLC book and the ration card of A29 were recovered by
PW291 from

that house. This fact would prove that Mo.l-79 series were

arso

kept by A29 along with his personal documents. That proves the conscrous
possession of A29 over the same. A29 has no explanation as to how the cut out

of the spaces inside the letters'A'and'D'and digit,0' in MOs.1 and 3 happened

to be in Mo.179 which was seized from his house. In this circumstance the only
inference that can be drawn is that it was A29 who had made Mo.1 and Mo.3

43 and A5 to A7. A29 has no explanation as to how Mo.179 series happened to

be in his house along with his ssLC book and ration card. This circumstance
itself is sufficient to prove the complicity of A29.

19q. lt is argued by the learned Prosecutor that on 4.7.2OJO after the

arrangements in his house for the treatment of 41 and 45 tvitu had sustained
injuries in the incident and informed that he will reach there with A15 Dr.Reneef.

Then A2B contacted A15 who is a Dental Surgeon, went to his clinic at Aluva

and took him to the house of 416. The prosecution case is that absconding
accused Najeeb (A31) brought A1 Savad and A5 Shamsudhin to the house of

416. When A15 realised that suture was needed he sent 416 to his clinic for
collecting the equipments and informed his assistant Sainaba to send those
surgical equipments required for suturing. After completing his assignment he
returned to his clinic with A31. These are the allegations against A15.
199. To prove this charge against A15 the prosecution has examined PW25

and PW48 who were working in the clinic as his assistants. They did not give
any incriminating evidence against A15. PW49 and PW50 have stated that they

had been in the clinic of A15 on 4.7.20L0. The prescription issued by A15 to
PW49 on that day was seized by the police as per Ext.P8 seizure mahazar dated

16.7.20L0. PW24 who is an attestor to Ext.PB mahazar has admitted that police
came to the house of PW49 and seized the said prescription. The attempt of the

prosecution was to prove through PW49 and PW50 that A15 was not there in

the clinic in between 9 am and L2 noon. But these witnesses did not support
the prosecution.
200. PW291, ASP Jayanath deposed about the search conducted in the
clinic and in the house of A15 and about the seizure of 1.0 CDs (MO.186 series),
phone bills etc. PW294 stated about the seizure of car bearing No.TN-01/P.

admit that he had witnessed the seizurer of surgical materials from the ctinic of
A15. These documents and material oirjects will not help the prosecution to
prove that he had treated A1 and 45.
201. A15 has admitted that 9746026660 is his phone number. From Ext.p62i.

cDR it could be seen that on 4.7.201,0 this phone of A15 Dr.Reneef was ar
companypady location at 9:40:12 hours and i.0:35:25 hours. He has a case that

it was the phone number used by his staff in the clinic. There is no evidence to
substantiate the contention. But that cannot be the sole ground to enter into a
conclusion that this accused had been at Aluva between

9.40 am and 10.35

am. The mere fact that during the entire period of Ext.p621 cDR it was only on
these two occasions his number was seen used in that location, is not sufficient

to prove his complicity. I cannot not ignore the contention raised by the learned
counsel

for the defence that the distance between his clinic at Aluva

and

companypady bus stop is around two kilometers only. pw24r who is a Nodal
officer stated that the normal range of a mobile phone tower is between 2

kilometers. sometime there may be overlapping and the calls in a particular

tower location will be registered in some other tower. That is usual. Even if it
assumed that the phone number of A15 was located

at

is

companypady location

on that day between 9.40 to 10.30 am, I cannot say that A15 was personally
present in that location and that the accused was not there in his clinic during

that time. Further there is absolutely no evidence to prove that the house of
A1Q-,g1tu3tes

D^,

done. So also the prosecution was not able to prove that 45 haci sustained

injury in the attack. In short there is no evidence to suggest that A1 and A5

were treated by A15 from the house of AL6 and thereby caused disappearance

of evidence.
202. The prosecution has a case that on 4.7.2010, A16 was alone at his
house. Their case is that on that day he had to attend a marriage of one of his

close relatives. But, as per the directions of A28, he remained in his house and

sent his wife to attend the marriage. To prove the said case prosecution has
examined his wife and brother. PW22 Habeeb who is the brother and PW99,

wife of 416 denied that on 4.7.20L0 416 remained in his house without
attending the marriage. Further PW22 denied that on that day when he went to

the house of A16, he found a stranger in that house. These witnesses were
declared hostile and some contradictions were marked through these witnesses
as Exts.PT series and 10 series.

203.

lt is true that there were seven outgoing calls from phone number

9037220794 alleged to have been used by A28 to the phone of A16. Further
there was another call from another phone alleged to have been used by A28 to

the number of 416 at L:19 pm on 4.7.2OI0. lt is very pertinent to note that

there was no outgoing call from the phone of 416 to the number of A28. Even if

it is assumed that A28 had contacted 416

with the weapons and destroyed the same, but the prosecution was not able to
prove the said contentions against A3. There is no evidence to prove that

,q3

had destroyed the weapons used by them for attacking pw2, similarly I could

not find anything on record to suggest that 47 who drove Mo.2 to the place of
incident destroyed any evidence. The fact that he entrusted Mo.2 to A9 is not
sufficient to prove that he had destroyed evidence.
205. The prosecution has a case that the Lancer car bearing No.KL.07.AH.
1515 which belongs to A19 was used by him to transport the offenders to safe
hide outs. PW196, the Sub Inspector of Police, Aluva deposed that on 29.7.20i.0

he seized Lancer car bearing

abandoned state

No.KL-07/AH.1515 which was found

in

an

at a place near the house of one Sheena in Kadungalloor

village as per Ext.P3B7 mahazar. PW195 stated that he had signed in that
mahazar as a witness. That vehicle was identified by pW73 Abdul Azeez who is

the owner of that car as MO.24 (inadvertently the same car was identified

as

MO.61 through PW196). Ext.P292, the RC particulars produced by pW171 would

show that the registered owner of the said vehicle was one Varghese George.
An attested copy of the certificate of registration (Form 23) was marked through
PW73 as Ext.P65.

lt

would show that the ownership was transferred in the

name of PW73 with effect from 23.6.2005. PW73 stated that he had given that

car to A19 Niyas some where in 2006 and added that Niyas had paid rent to
him up to 2010 January. Later on he came to know that this car was seized by
case. The evidence adduced bv

crime.

206.

lt

is alleged that A15, who is a medlcal practitioner concealed the

information regarding the commission of an offence before the authorities and

thus committed an offence under Section 202 of lPC. The prosecution case is

that this accused who is a Dental Surgeon was bound to inform the authorities
about the commission of the offence, but he had suppressed that fact before

the authorities and treated A1 and A5. I have already found that there is
evidence

to

no

prove that A15 had rendered medical aid to any of the accused.

Further there is no evidence to show that he was aware of the incident. Even if

it is assumed that he was aware of the incident he is not legally bound to inform
the police about the same especially, when the police has a case that he also
took part in the conspiracy to commit the offence. I cannot say that A15 had
committed an offence under Section 2OZ lPC.

207. ln view of the discussions on these points, I find that there is

evidence to prove that while A9 was proceeding in MO.2 which was used by the
assailants to attack PW2 and when it reached near Periyarvalley canal. he threw

the number plates to the canal bund and thus destroyed evidence. There is no
evidence to prove that A3, A15, 416, A19 and A29 had caused disappearance of
.,.,;i',,,r. : any evidence as alleged by the prosecution. These points are found accordingly.

offends the Prophet or lslam will not be spared ancl also to promote cornrnunal

disharmony among members of different religions and fear in the minds of

public, acted as members of terrorist gang, hatched conspiracy and promoted

enmity between religions by attacking pw2 who was returning from church
after attending the holy mass.
209. The learned counsel for the accused refuted the entire arguments put

forward by the learned public prosecutor and submitted that none of the
ingredients of section 1534 has been proved by the prosecution. According to

him, none of the witnesses has stated that the assailants had intention to
commit such an offence.

lt is pointed out by the learned counsel that the

violence was confined only against pw2 and not even against his family
mempers.
Section 153A IPC reads as follows:-

210. The definite case of the prosecution is that PW2 had prepared

question paper ridiculing Prophet Muhammad. The accused herein, aggrieved

by the act of PW2 decided to take revenge on PW2 who has prepared that
question paper.

lt

is admitted that a case was registered against PW2 under

Section 153A of IPC and he was prosecuted for that offence. Further
admitted that several organisations including

to

protest against the act of PW2. Exts.P721- and P75B are the

pamphlets circulated by the PFl.

lt is alleged by the prosecution that the

accused who are the members of PFI decided

to attack

PW2 and

to

take

revenge on him. lt is very pertinent to note that PW2 was not known to any of

the accused. The accused had no personal acquaintance with PW2. They had
no grudge or enmity towards him. So it is clear that the accused had attacked
PW2 as a retaliation. The motive of the accused was very clear from the act of

the accused who had no acquaintance with PW2. Further the declaration made

the assailants at the time of the attack on PW2 also would prove that the

motive was to take revenge on PW2 who had prepared the question paper.

relevant in deciding the intention. where there is an iritention ancl sometfrinE is

done with the object of effecting the resi:lt intendecl, there is an attempt. Here

want to quote some lines from the ruling of the Hon'ble supreme court in Nazir

Khan and others v- State

of Delh! (AtR 2OO3 SC 44271. ,,No religion

propagates terrorism or hatred. Love for all is the basic foundation on which

almost

all

religions are founded. unfortunately, some fanatics who have

distorted views of religion spread messages of terror and hatred. They do not
understand or realize the amount of damage they do to the society and as a
result of these fanatic acts of misguided people innocent lives are lost, distrust
in the minds of communities replaces love and affection for others. Neighbours
belonging to different communities who have lived like brothers for ages start

viewing each other with suspicion and hatred." Though the facts of the said
case and the case on hand are different those lines of the Hon'ble supreme
Court are relevant. No doubt the act of A2, 43, A5 to A7 and the other rwo
accused who had participated in the attack on pw2 who belongs to another

religion, promoted disharmony or feelings of enmity between the members of

different religions. The assailants decided to attack pw2 on a Sunday, when he
was returning from the church after attending the Holy Mass. Merely because of

the reason that the assailants did not attack any other person or that the
assailants did not utter a single word against other religions or community,

cannot say that they had no intention

case was registered against PW2 under that Section for

taken by the authority. They wanted to revenge in their own method and

in

execution of that plan they attacked PW2, in the presence of the believers who
were returning from the church after attending the Sunday Holy Mass. lt is clear

from the versions of PW16 Latha Abraham who was an office bearer of
Muvattupuzha Merchants' Association Womens' Wing that after the incident
there was ill will and hatred in the minds of the people of different religions. Her
evidence would prove that it started with the question paper issue. The hand

chopping incident inflated that feeling of ill will in the minds of the people
belong to those religions. on going through the entire evidence I find

that

A2,

43. A5 to A7 had intention to promote disharmony among the members of

different religions. The attack on PW2 on the ground

of belief promoted

disharmony in the minds of those people. This point is found accordingly.

212. Point

No.l4:-

According to the learned counsel for the accused. the

provision under the UA(P) Act has been incorporated by the prosecution for the

sole purpose of denying the protection guaranteed under the Constitution of

India. lt is alleged that the accused had conspired to wreck vengeance against
PW2 and decided to commit terror as a lesson to the society to avoid repetition

of such incident. According to the learned counsel for the accused, these are all
imaginations

of the prosecution

it is urged that if the

prosecution is allowed to take these sort of contentions,

all the offences under
the Indian Penal code and other speciar enactments wiil become redundant.
According to him, the contention of the prosecution that the
accused, active
members of pFr/sDpr, out of enmity towards pw2 motivated with
specific

intention of taking revenge on him formed into a terrorist gang and

decided to
take law into their own hands established under due process with
an intention

object of the UA(P) Act was to provide more effective prevention of
certain unlawful and terrorist activities and not to bypass the provisions
under IPC and Cr.P.C. He relied on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court in Bonkya Alias Bharat Shivaji Mane and Others v. State of

f962). According to him, it is clear fron: the evidence that the intention
of the assailants was not to strike terror in a section of the society or to

the members of a particular society.

215. The learned Public Prosecutor relied on a decision of the Hon'ble
Apex court in Mohd. lqbal M. shaik and others v. state

of Maharashtra

(1998 Crl.L.J,2537l and argued that the most important result of the use of
violence is not merely the physical and mental damage of the victim but also

the prolonged psychological effect it produces or has the potential or producing

on the society as a whole. lf the object of the activity is to disturb harmony of

the society or to terrorise people and the society with a view to disturb even the

tempo or tranquility of the society and

if a sense of fear and insecurity is

created in the minds of a section of the society or the society at large, then it
will, undoubtedly be held to be a terrorist activity. In support of the contentions

the prosecution relied on the rulings

of Delhi and another

prove that they went

to his house on three or four occasions to

rnake

preparations. on one such occasion PW2 was present in his house. Even then
they did not attack him. That was on 17.5.2010. Thereafter, the assailants went

to the house of PW2 on 28.5.2010 and then purchased a vehicle to execute the

attack, made all arrangements and finally attacked PW2 on 4.7.2010. The
assailants made all preparations before the attack on PW2. The evidence would

show that the assailants had formed plan and decided the role of each and

every assailant. They were given separate assignment. This would prove the
nature of attack. They finally decided to attack PW2 on the public road in the
presence of the local people. The time selected by the assailants for the attack

was after B am, on a Sunday. They fixed the date, time and venue in such a
manner. when PWl and PW4 approached the assailants who were attacking

pw2, 46 who was guarding the place of incident hurled bomb and threatened
them with dire consequences. No doubt this act of the assailants would prove
that their intention was to strike terror in the people. For that purpose they used

bomb and lethal weapons such as chopper, hatchet etc. They arranged
vehicle for this purpose alone.

lt is very pertinent to note that none of the

assailants had any personal acquaintance

or enmity towards PW2. Their

intention was only to revenge on PW2 who had prepared the question paper

with some blasphemous reference to Prophet Muhammad' They did not even
consider the fact that a case was registered against PW2 in Thodupuzha police

.station for setting that question paper.

PW13, the Headmistress of a local school stated that after the attack
on pW2
the students have fear in their mind. PW17 the Vicar of the church also
stated
about the impact of the attack created on the local people. In Kamarudheen
v.

sHo Muvattupuzha porice station (2011 (1)

KLT 342) our Hon'bre High

court held:- "The offences alleged were committed in broad day light on the
public road, giving a feeling of insecurity among the public at large
and thereby
perpetrators could strike teror in mind of the people. The crime
alleged could
give a feeling that those who do any act which the people like the perpetrators
doesn't like ortolerate would be dealt in a brutal manner. Such a feeling is more

than sufficient to threaten the security of the people and the Nation. Having
due regard to the nature of crime, we find that

it had a terrorizing effect on

those who had witnessed the incident. The terror, fear and panic which the

victim, his wife, mother, son and those who witnessed is unfathomable and
tend to demoralize the ordinary man as observed by the Apex court in an
identical case, reported in Ravindra Shantram Sawant y. Sfafe

Therefore the said ruling is squarely applicable on the point. Merely because of

the reason that the witnesses did not mention about the impact of the attack
created in their mind before the investigating officers, their evidence cannot be

thrown out. Their intention was to give a waming that they would not tolerate

any other who makes any remark which is against their belief. Here the
prosecution was able to prove that 42, 43 and A5 to A7 had committed offence
under Section 15 of the UA(P) Act. This point is found accordingly'
217. Point No.15:- lt is the prosecution case that after attacking PW2, A7

took Al- to 46 in MO.2 to lrumalappady, from where 41 and A5 were taken to

the house of A16 by A3L in car bearing Regn.No.KL-09/R.7541- which belongs to

treatment, A5 Shamsudhin was also brought to that house. Ext.P702 is the
ownership certificate of house bearing No.XVlll/617/A issued by PW281, the
Edathala Panchayat secretary. lt would show that the building belongs to one
Dr.p.M.Khadeeja. PW295 deposed that on 9.9.2010

Muhammad Naseer. she deposed that on the strength of the power of attorney

executed by her husband the said building was let out to A35 Niyas. Ext.p32 is

the rent deed and Ext.p37 is the power of attorney executed by her husband in
her favour. PW136 who is a relative of pw41 stated that he had witnessed the
production of those documents by pw40 before police. Ext.p156 is the mahazar
prepared by the police for the seizure of those documents. After verification.
those documents were released to pw40, on Ext.p33 kacheet. The evidence of
PW41 in respect of the entrustment of the building in favour of A35 and about

his possession over the said building during 20L0 is supported by her

219. There is no direct evidence to prove that A2, 43 or A5 had occasion

to

occupy the said house. PW295 Deputy superintendent

of

Police,

Muvattupuzha deposed that on 2.9.201,0 at 2.15 pm he inspected that house

near Nettoor Highway Masjid as led by A2 and prepared a mahazar.

Muhammad Zain identified his signature in that mahazar and

PW40

it was marked

through him as Ext.P35. He stated that police had brought a person by name
in that house'
Jamal to that building and told him that the said Jamal had stayed

This witness did not identify A2 Jamal and stated that he did not remember

whether he had occasion to see that accused from that house on an earlier
occasion. He was declared hostile to the prosecution and some contradictions

were marked as Ext.P36 series. From the evidence

I could find that this

witnesses has something to hide. At the same time he admitted that the name
of the person who was brought to that house by police during the investigation

was Jamal. This evidence corroborates the evidence of PW295 that he was
taken to that house by A2. Here the prosecution was able to prove the presence

of 42 in that house along with PW295. In this circumstance I can very well
accept the prosecution case that PW295, on the basis of the statement given by

A2, had inspected the house which was in the possession of A35 Niyas along
with A2 and prepared Ext.P35 mahazar. lt is not sufficient to prove that A2 was
harboured in that house. The allegation is that A35 had provided hide out to A2,

43 and A5. But there is nothing to support the contention of the prosecution
regirding the harbouring of 43 and A5. The fact that an accused had pointed
!,

gutulg place to a police officer is not sufficient

to suggest that he was harboured

in tha\'pErticu.lar place. The fact that A2 had point$ out that house remains as

202

a weak link. The prosecution was not abre to point out any other
circumstance
in support of the contention. In this circumstance the prosecution
case that 42.

43 and A5 were harboured in the house which was in the possession

of A35
cannot be accepted.

22o. lt is contended by the rearned pubric prosecutor that from

the house
of A35 Niyas at Nettoor, A2 Jamal. A3 shobin and A5 shamsudhin
were shifted

to

Thiruvananthapuram and harboured by 436 Riyas in a house at pachalloor.

taken by him on rent from pw1g2 Murugan. The case of the prosecution
is that

A2' 43 and A5 were taken by A35 to cherthara rairway station on his

motor
cycle bearing No'KL-07/BH.3196 and then shifted to Thiruvananthapuram.
PW192 Murugan is the owner of a two storied residential building
at pachalloor.
He is residing on the ground froor of that buirding. In the month
of May 2010,

the upper portion of that buirding was given on rent to 436 Riyas who
is

contractor engaged in the cable laying work. The said house was taken
on rent
by 436 for accommodating his workers. The rent deed was marked
as Ext.p137.
PW125 who is the brother in law of Murugan

has stated that he had signed in

the mahazar prepared by the porice for the seizure of that agreement. pw!27
sameer deposed

that

he was doing cabre work at rhiruvananthapuram under

436 Riyas. During 2010 this witness (pW127) was staying with other workers
of
Riyas in a house at pachalloor. These facts are not challenged by 436.

221. According to pw192, who is the owner of the house, one day in the

first or second week of the seventh month of 2010, whlle he was coming

told him that they are workers of 436, came from Kollam. He asked them to call
Riyas. This witness identified those persons in court as A3 and A5. He added

that the person who was sitting in the sit out was not there in that room"

He

identified that person in court as A2. On the next day Riyas came to his house
and enquired as to why he has gone to the upstair portion. When he expressed
his concern about the presence of strangers, in view of the hand chopping and

similar incidents, 436 told him that they are his workers and assured him that

they will not create any problem. PW243 Noble Manuel, the Sub Inspector of
Police, stated

that on 3.9.2010 he went to the house of PW192 at

Thiruvananthapuram

as

Pachalloor,

led by A2, inspected the upstair portion of the house

as shown by that accused

and

prepared a mahazar from that house in the

presence of witnesses. PWI27 Sameer has admitted his signature in Ext.P139

mahazar and submitted that he was present in that house

preparation of that mahazar,

but

at the time of

denied the presence of A2 at the relevant

time. He was declared hostile to the prosecution.

222. According to the learned counsel for the accused, PW192 is a tutored
witness and that fact alone is sufficient to reject the entire evidence given by
him. There is no dispute that PW192 is the owner of the building wherein 436

and his workers were staying. His evidence with regard to the entrustment of

the upstair portion of the building to 436 is not challenged. 5o also there is

":"

nothing on record

to

disbelieve the evidence of this witness that he had

opportunity to see 42, A3 and A5 at his house some where in July 2010. He was

:6ble;to identifu those three accused from the dock. Nobody could believe that
,thigwitness, who lps no interest in the result of this case, gavp false evidence

244

against 436 who was a tenant under him.

lt

is clear from the evidence of this

witness that he had no grudge or enmity towards 436. An attempt was made by

the defence to make it appear that there was some dispute between pw1g2
and A36. PW192 has admitted that three months rent was due to him from 436.

therefore he did not return the advance amount. This cannot be a ground to
disbelieve the evidence of this witness.

lt is clear from his version that at

present there is no dispute between himself and 436 with regard to the
payment of arrears of rent. The entire claim has been settled by adjusting the
advance amount towards the rent arrears. The said contention of the defence

that this witness has given false evidence against 436 due to enmity cannot be
hold good. There is nothing to suggest that this witness had any sort of enmity
towards 436.

223. lt is true that the prosecution courd not give the exact date

of

harbouring. The exact date of harbouring is not seen mentioned in the charge.
The learned counsel for the accused relied on the decision of our Hon'ble High

Court in Vijayachandran

Superlntendent of police (2008 (3) KLT

3O7)

and argued that the particulars viz day/period, time and place at which and the
manner in which the offence was committed should be mentioned in the charge

and

it is mandatory. In the above said ruling it was held by the Hon'ble

High

court that details such as date, time, place at which the offence was committed
should be mentioned in the charge. This requirement is mandatory First of all

may submit that the facts of the case reported and the facts in the case on
hand are entirely different.

lt

was a case registered under the prevention df

Corruption Act. No doubt in such cases the particulars such as day, period,
place etc are to be mqrtioned in the charge. In the said decision, the Hon,ble
'l
,'r-

'

20s

High Court has made it clear that due to the omission to mention the details in

the charge prejudice has been caused to the accused therein. But in the case

on hand all the necessary details except the date of harbouring has been
mentioned in the charge. Further copies of all the relevant documents showing

the details of harbouring have been furnished to the accused. Those matters
are included in the charge framed by this court against the accused. lt is settled

law that

it is not in every

case that

it may be necessary to give the place or

date of the commission of the offence. lt all depends upon the circumstance of

the case. The question of prejudice is ultimately one of inference from all the
facts and circumstances of each case. To say that there was prejudice, it should

be pointed out as to how or in what manner the accused was prejudiced.

No

doubt a charge must contain those particulars such as place, person and
circumstances of the offence. A charge must contain those particulars which
give the accused an idea of the case which he has to meet. lf such details are
known to the accused from the documents furnished to him, in such cases it
cannot be said that prejudice has been caused to the accused. In K. Prema S
Rao and another v. Yadla Srinivasa Rao and others (AlR 2OO3 SC 11) the
Hon'ble Supreme Court held that mere omission or defect in framing charge
does not disable the criminal court from convicting the accused for the offence

which is found to have been proved on the evidence on record. On going

through the decisions

I find that the ruling of the Hon'ble High Court

in

)lijayachandran's case is not applicable to the case on hand. ln the said case

224.ltis contended by the learned

i:ounsel for the accusecl that there is nc

evidence to show that 42, A3 and A5 were permitted to stay in the said
ho.rse

by 436. Admittedry the employees of 436 were staying there. According

to the

learned counsel for the accused, the employees of 436 can accommodate
others in the house without the knowledge of A35 or 436. rt is clear from
the
evidence of PW192 that it was not a casual visit by those three accused. There
is clear evidence to show that they spent one night in that house. Nobooy
could

believe that A36 was not aware of the stay of these three accused in
that
house. PW127 has stated that 436 Riyas and A35 Niyas used to stay in that
house while they were at Thiruvananthapuram in connection with their contract

work. He added that it was Riyas and Niyas who select the workers under
them
and allow them to stay there. According to this witness nobody can stay there
without the knowledge and consent of A35 or 436. Further it could be seen that

436 Riyas, on the next day went to the house of pW192 and questioned him
why he had gone upstairs. At that time pw192 made it clear to that accuseo

that he won't allow to change the inmates frequently and allow the strangers ro
stay there. In reply, 436 stated that those persons are not bad. The evidence

tendered by PW1"92 regarding the presence of those three accused in that

house inspire confidence. The learned counsel for the accused could not point

out any material contradiction or omission in the evidence of this witness. There

isltonvincing evidence to prove that 436 had full knowledge about the stay of
A2, A3 and 45 in that house and they were allowed to stay there by 436.

offence under Section 212

lPC.

there must be proof that the accused knew about

the commission of the offence and that he is harbouring or concealing

an

offender or a person believe to be an offender. lt was held that the prosecution

has to establish commission of an offence and harbouring or concealment of

the offender and if such concealment was found to be with an intention of

screening that offender, the accused cannot escape from legal punishment. lt is

very pertinent to note that 436 did not give any explanation during the
examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. about the presence of A2, 43 and A5 in

that house. He simply denied the said contention. The accused has a duty to
explain the incriminating circumstance which was brought out in evidence
against him. Here 436 simply denied the entire circumstances brought out in
evidence. The fact that A36 went to the house of PW192 and questioned him as

to why he had gone upstairs, would

prove that 436 was aware of the

involvement of A2, 43 and 45 in the crime. Being the owner of the house
PW192 can go

to the portion occupied by his tenant. The tenant need not

question the landlord for the same. The fact that 436 had questioned that act of
PW192, itself would show that 436 had something to hide. Otherwise he need

not question the landlord. This conduct of 436 would prove that he was aware
of the involvement of those accused in the crime. These circumstances would

definitely lead to a conclusion that A36 had knowledge about the involvement

226. There i:; evidence to show tfre L A2 along with A3 ancl A5 urere found

in the house which is in the possession of 436 at Thiruvananthapuram. lt

!s

argued by the learned Public Prosecutor that the cails between A35 and 436
during late night would prove that these two accused were discussing about the
harbouring of accused. lt is pointed out that there were two calls between A36
and A37 on the night of 6.7.2070. The learned counsel for the accused pointed

out that there had been other late night calls between A35 and 436 on some
particular days. They are brothers. They had to discuss their family matters and

the matters relating to their contract work. This argument of the

learnecl

counsel for the accused seems to be correct. I am also satisfied that there is

nothing to doubt about these calls made between brothers. There is nothing
unusual in it. The fact that these two brothers had contacted each other in the

midnight of 6.7.2010 and in the early morning of 7.7.2010 is not sufficient to

prove that these two accused were involved

in the conspiracy. But

the

prosecution was able to produce ample evidence to prove that A2, 43 and A5

were allowed to stay in the house which was in the possession 436. The
conduct of 436 would prove that he had allowed those persons to stay in the
house taken on rent by him and which was in the actual possession of this

accused, knowing fully well that those accused are involved

in the

hand

chopping case.

on rent. Subsequently the

agreement was renewed. The evidence of this witness with regard

to

tfre

entrustment of the building is supported by PW39 who is a close relative of

PW65 Rajappan. PW5B Niyas has admitted the rental arrangement with PW65.

According to this witness that building was arranged through A19 Niyas. After

getting possession PW58 started a Travel agency in the said building in the
name and style ' South Gate Tours and Travels'. This witness made it clear that
the said building was in the joint possession of himself and

A1"9.

228. PW295 Deputy Superintendent of Police deposed that on 02.09.2010

he went to the house of PW65 at Ponnurunni as led by A\2 K.K.Ali, inspected

the house and surroundings and prepared a Mahazar. That Mahazar was
marked as Ext.P30. PW39 who is a relative of PW65 has admitted his signature

in Ext.P30 and stated that he had signed in the said Mahazar from the

said

house which belongs to his uncle PW65, in the presence of the Police officials
and another. This witness could not identify AL2 in court. He was also declared
hostile to the Prosecution.

to

PW65 is Ext.P30 pointing out Mahazar prepared by

PW284, the Se,::retary of

of

that Panchayai proved the

house No.llli2B5A (New lX-98). This ownership

certificate was marked as Ext.P705. As per this certificate house No.lXi9B

belongs

to one Basheer. Ext.P470 is the pointing out mahazar prepared

by

PW294 when he inspected that house as shown by AB. This document has no

relevance in this case since there is no evidence

to suggest that A8 was

harboured in the said house, except the pointing out memo (Ext.P470) prepared

by PW294. Ext.P470 mahazar is not sufficient to prove that AB was harboured in

that house at any point of time. Ext.P470 pointing out mahazar would suggest

that the said house was known to A8 Younus Aliyar. That is not sufficient to
prove that he was harboured in that house.

231. Another contention of the prosecution is that A8 was harboured by A34

Anwar Sadik in the house of PW43 at Eloor and then shifted him to a safe hide

out at Thrissur. To prove the said contention the prosecution relied on the
evidence of PW42 Shiyas and his mother Afsath (PW43). They are staying at
Eloor.

lt is admitted that A34

is the nephew of the deceased husband of PW43.

PW42 and PW43 submitted that A34 and his family members used to come and

stay in their house. According to PW42, on 6.7.2010 A34 came to his house with
his family members including his mother and stayed there. On 8.7.2010 A34
-..-,,....._.-,.r"equested

Jameera informed that they reft
the house by L2 - 12.30 noon. After a few days he had occasion

on, police came to their
house along with Ag. This evidence of pW42 is supported
pW43.

She

identified A8 Younus Aliyar in court.

232.rhe defence assailed the evidence tendered by pw42 and pw43. Their
definite case is that these two witnesses are not in good terms with A34
and his

family members. To prove the said case they examined one of the relatives
of
PW42 and PW43 as DW4.

lt is brought out in evidence through this witness that

there were some disputes between pw43 and A34. DW4 stated that the dispute
arose some where in 2009. At the same time he admitted that the dispute
between PW43 and A34 relating to the gold ornaments was settled even before

her examination before this court as a witness. According to him, there was
another dispute between pw43 and Jameela, mother of A34. His version is that

the request made by pw43 for partition of the properties of her deceased
husband was refused by Jameela. pw43 denied this suggestion put forward by

the defence that she is not in goods terms with Jameela since the latter had
refused her request for partition of their family properties. The only evidence
available before the court with regard

to the property dispute is the

oral

ence of DW4. This witness has admitted that A34 is his mother,s sister's

I

2r2

take any legal steps to effect the partition of the property belonged to her
deceased husband and the co-owners. Even

some dispute between PW43 and A34,

if it is assumed that there

was

cannot reject the entire evidence

tendered by PW43 and her son with regard to the stay of A8 in their house. lt is

clear from the evidence of PW43 and PW42 that during 2010, A34 and his
family members used to come and stay in their house. PW43 has made it clear

that the entire dispute arose after this incident. These witnesses have

no

reason to give false evidence against A8. I cannot believe that these witnesses

have given evidence against A8, due to their enmity towards A34. Pws 42 and

43 have identified A8 from the dock and gave evidence against that accused.
They need not give false evidence against A8 who is a total stranger to them,
especially in a serious offence.

233. PW294 deposed that he was taken to the house of PW42 and PW43
by AB during investigation. PW294 stated that on 31.7.2010 A8 who was in his

custody took him to the house No.11/282 of Eloor Grama Panchayat, from
where he prepared Ext.P1l,7 mahazar. PW282, Malathi, the Secretary of Eloor

Grama Panchayat stated that the said building belongs

to K.S. Rahim,

Karimbanakattil House, Eloor north. DW4 has admitted that PW43 is the wife of
deceased Rahim. The prosecution has proved that the said building belonged to

Rahim who is the father of PW42 and husband of PW43. PW109 who is an
independent witness identified his signature in Ext.P117 mahazar prepared by
PW294. He added that police had brought one person to that house. Though

this witness was declared hostile to the prosecution, since he failed

. iemember

rJ

t6

the place from where he had signed in Ext.Pl-17, he has made it

clear that .police brought one person to the house, of PW43. This evidence ,
t,,

213

tendered by PW109 corroborates the prosecution case that

Ag had showed the
house of PW43 to the police. PW42 and PW43 also stated that police
brought
A8 to their house during investigation. A8 or A34 did not grve
any explanation

with regard to the evidence tendered by these two witnesses

and pw294. Ag
has no case that he had previous acquaintance with pw42 or pw43.
He has no
case that he had occasion

to visit the

house

of pW43 before the

alleged

incident. Then I do not know how he was able to lead pw2g4 the investigating
officer to the house of PW43, who was a total stranger to him. The fact that
AB
who had no prior acquaintance with Pws 42 and 43 took p.W2g4 to their house
is a strong piece of evidence against A8 and A34. On going through the entire

evidence I find that the evidence of PW42 and PW43 regarding the harbouring

of A8 by A34 can be accepted. Their evidence cannot be rejected on the sole

ground that there was some dispute between pW43 and A34.
234. Another contention of the defence is that Pws 42 and 43 are tutored

witnesses. According

to the learned counsel for the

accused, pw42 was

detained by Police for about 10 days and coerced him to give false evidence
against A34 and AB. At the time of cross examination, PW43 stated that police

had come to their house on several occasions for investigation purpose and
detained PW42 for about ten

days. pw42 has no such case. The learned

counsel for the accused who put suggestion

to

PW43 regarding the illegal

detention, surprisingly did not put any suggestion to pw42 who was alleged to
.,.,.

the contention thar pw42 and pw43 were tools in the hands of the

pt:qsec,ution. Nobody could believe

that

these.,

two witnesses had

given

214

evidence against A34 who is a close relative of them because of the pressure

from the investigating agency. On going through the entire evidence I find that

the evidence tendered by PW42 and PW43 against A34 and A8 is reliable and
trustworthy.

235. The next question is whether A34 was aware that A8 was an offender.
There is cogent evidence to suggest that A34 took A8 to the house of PW43.
The prosecution was able to prove that case against A34. But A34 did not give

any explanation regarding the evidence tendered by PW42 and PW43 about
the stay of A8 in their house. That itself would prove that A34 was aware of the
invofvement of AB in the case. I cannot ignore that PW294, Circle Inspector of

Police has deposed that on 8.7.20LO itself he filed

report before the

concerned court to include the name of A8 in the array of accused and a look

out notice was issued against AB and two other accused. lt is not possible for
the prosecution to prove the knowledge of A34 about the involvement of AB in
the offence with direct evidence. lt is to be inferred from the circumstances. The
fact that A34 took AB to the house of PW43 is sufficient to prove that A34 was
providing hide out to that accused. The prosecution was able to prove the role
of A34 with convincing evidence. I am satisfied that there is ample evidence to

bring home the guilt of A34 that he had harboured AB in the house of PW43
knowing fully well about the involvement of A8 in the offence.
236. The prosecution case is that from the house of PW43, A8 was shifted

to the Ddffodils Flat at Thrissur by A25 Abdul Latheef. PW23 Varghese is the
watchman of Daffodils Flats at Thrissur. His version is that three persons came
;

to'the flats in a Maruthi car and sought permission to go to the seventh floor.
They were allowed !o,go inside. After a few minutes one among fqem had gone

21c

out and brought food for them. Thereafter two among them
left the flat in the
car. According to this witness, those two persons retumed to
the flat after two
days and went back with the other person. After about one
month porice
brought two among them in the frat for the purpose of investigation.
when Ag
and A25 were shown to this witness he identified them to be the persons
who
came to his frat. Then he pointed out A25 and stated that A25 was
the person

who had driven the car and identified Ag younus Aliyar to be the person
who
had stayed in the flat.

237. pw45 Tony is an interior designer. He deposed that he had

undertaken the interior design work of flat No.7B at Daffodils. He had given sub
contract to one Muhammad lqbal. His version is that in the middle of
July 20L0

he had occasion to visit this flat in connection with his contract work. At that

time he found some workers in the said flat. He identified Ag to be one among
the persons who was found in the flat. Later police brought that accused to the

flat in connection with the hand chopping incident. At that time he identified Ag
before the police. Though the learned counsel for the accused has cross
examined this witness he could not challenge the credibility of this witness who
is an independent witness.

238. PW146 rqbar, who is the brother in law of A25 admits that he had
under taken the interior work of flat No.2 under PW45. His brother in law Abdul

Latheef used to supply workers for him. This witness has admitted that he had

i''seen A31 Najeeb (absconding) and Noushad (not charge sheeted) and another

fat man:who was having spectacles in his flat. He wrongly identified A34 anwai
,i
sadik,in court to be the person who was found in that flat. No doubt it was

mistake. Thouoh this witness has failed to ideptify A8, he deposed

vL},vJvv
that
L,,sr the
L
man
r

216

who was found in the flat was having spectacles. This evidence corroborates

the evidence of PW45 and PW23 who had identified A8. These witnesses have
no grudge or enmity towards A8 or A25. On the other hand PW146, who is the

brother in law of A25 proved the prosecution case regarding the access of A25
in flat No.7B, Daffodils. PW56 who is the father of PW146 added that A25 had
been absconding for a few days after the hand chopping incident. Now the
prosecution was able to connect all the link against A8 and A25 regarding their
presence in Flat No.7B, Daffodils. When the learned Public Prosecutor pointed

out AB and A25 who were in the dock and asked this witness as to whether he

can identify those persons, PW23 showed A25 and stated that he was the
person who had driven the car. Then he added that the other accused (A8) was

the person who has stayed in that flat. lt is clear from the evidence of this
witness that he was sure that the vehicle was driven by A25. The evidence of
PW23 would prove that A8 was taken to the flat in a car driven by A25 with

another accused. PW146 proved that A25 had access in the said flat.

PW45

Tony has specifically stated that he had occasion to see A8 in the flat in the

middle of July 2010. A25 did not explain the circumstances under which he
brought A8 in the said flat. No explanation is forthcoming. In the circumstances

I can very well accept the prosecution case that A8 was shifted by A25 to flat
No.78, Daffodils at Thrissur.
239. According to the learned counsel for the accused, there is no evidence

to prove the involvement of A8 in the offence. Even if it is assumed that A8 had

,....::.

occasion'to stay in the above said flat,

';

..'

it

would not constitute any offence.

Whlle taking such a contention, the defence forgot the fact that A8 was also
gang who had visited the house

offw2 on 17.5.2010. PWl and

t

2L7

PW2 identified A8 as one of the persons who had visited

their house on that

day. I have already discussed the evidence of these two

witnesses on that point.
To

avoid repetition those details can be omitted at this stage. The prosecution

was able to prove the presence of AB in the house of pw2 on 17.5.20i.0.

That

evidence would prove the involvement of A8 in the entire incident.

lt

proves

that A8 took part in the conspiracy.

240' lt is argued that A8 was taken to Thrissur in a Ritz car which belongs to
PW239 Najatullah Sidhique. The prosecution has got a case that the said car

was purchased by A25 in the name

of

pw239. This contention

of

the

prosecution is denied by PW239. To prove that PW239 was not having sufficient

financial capacity to purchase the said vehicle, the prosecution has produced

his ration card (Ext.P572) which would show that during the said period his
name was included in the Below Poverty Line list. This witness has stated that

during the said period he was residing along with his elder brother and denied

that he was a dependent of his brother. Whatever may be the prosecution case
regarding the financial capacify of PW239, there is no evidence to prove that

the said Ritz car was purchased by A25 in the name of pW239. lt is admitted

that PW239 is related to A25 through PW27 who is the brother in law of A25.
Further

it is admitted that the petition for the release of the said Ritz car was

filed before the court by pw27, as the power of attorney holder of pw239.
These facts would support the prosecution case that A25 had occaston to use

the Ritz car bearing No.KL-42lc 4700. lt is very pertinent to note that pw23
who is the watchman of Daffodils flats, Thrissur stated that he haj

be

the

owner of the said car, the prosecu]ion wlas able to prove

218

that the said car was used by A25 for shifting A8 to Daffodils flats, Thrissur.
241. From Flat No.7B, Daffodils AB was shifted to a hide out at Malappuram

by 426. For shifting A8, 426 used his Maruthi car. This is the prosecution case
against 426. lt is contended that 426 provided hide out to A8 at his wife's house

at Valancherry. To prove the said contentions the prosecution has examined

PW2B who is the wife of 426 and PW74, who is an attestor to a sale agreement

relating to one maruthi car bearing No.KL-10/M.8044 and some other witnesses

to prove the seizure of the car, search of the house of

PW2B

etc. Here the

question as to whether the said car belongs to 426 is not at all relevant. The

only piece of evidence adduced by the prosecution to connect 426 is Ext.PL18

pointing out mahazar prepared by PW294 from the house of PW28, wife of 426.

This witness stated that he went to that house No.lV/224 of Edayoor Grama
Panchayath, Malappuram district as led by A8 Younus Aliyar, inspected the said

house and prepared Ext.P118 mahazar as pointed out by A8. PW211, a Civil
Police Officer attached to Valancherry police station identified her signature in

the said mahazar and stated that she was present at the time of preparation of

that mahazar by PW295. Even if it is assumed that A8 had pointed out that
place to PW294 it would not help the prosecution to prove the involvement of

426. There is absolutely no evidence to prove that 426 Moideenkutty had

harboured AB at the house of his wife at Valancherry.

242. Another contention of the prosecution is that a safe hide out was
. ,.,.,,Qfovided

to A8 by one Zakkeer Hussain (not charge sheeted). PW46 lbrahim

is

and PW47 is the wife of Zakeer Hussain. These witnesses denied that
occasion to stay in their house. But PW111 who is a neighbour of PW46

that police had occasion to inspect the house of PW46in the presence of

219

an accused. This witness identified his signature in Ext.p119 the mahazar

prepared by the police from the said house. Ext.p704 is the
ownership
certificate of house No.Ap-lV/652 which belongs to pW46 lbrahim who
is the
father of Zakeer Hussain. There is evidence to show that police had occasion

to

visit the house of pw46 at Angadippuram. pw111 deposed about the presence
of an accused along with the police. In view of the evidence of the
said witness

and Ext.pr.r.g pointing out mahazar prepared by pw2g4 atthe instance

of Ag, I
cannot rule out the prosecution case that AB had occasion to stay
in that house
during the said period. Any way, since the prosecution did not fire any
charge
sheet against the said Zakkeer Hussain, I do not want to discuss the
matter
in

detail. In this case, what I can say is that Ag had stayed in the house of pw46
at Angadippuram in Malappuram District.

243' The prosecution has alleged that A20 had harboured A13 Shiyas in his
house on 4.7.2010. pw!24 who is the brother of A20 Anas denied that police
brought A13 shiyas to his house and that they had prepared a mahazar from

the sit out of his house as pointed out by A13. Any way this witness

has

admitted his signature in Ext.P135 mahazar. The evidence of the investigating

officer that A13 took him to the house of A20 is not sufficient to prove that he
was harboured in the house of A20. lt is very pertinent to note that A2o was a
leader of pFllsDpl and he was elected as a member to the Block panchayath.
Even if it is assumed that A13 who is an active member of pFl took the police
to

the house of one of his leaders, it may not be sufficient to prove that the
"'-.

.., '.
:;-'.'aicused was harboured in the said house. The pointing out memo prepared
al
""'-'
i-';l:$f-'e"instance of the accused would only prove that he knows the said house.
t:" Ngthing more
.
.t

crould be inferred from

that sole circumstance.lThere is absolutely

,

220

no evidence to prove that A20 gave accommodation to A13 Shiyas at his house.

244.|n view of the above discussions lfind thatthe prosecution was able to
prove the charge against A25, A34 and A36 that they had harboured A8, 42, 43

and A5 at different places knowingly that they were involved in the attack on
PW2. I am satisfied that A25, A34 and 436 had reason to believe A8, A2, 43 and

A5 to be offenders. That knowledge or belief is sufficient to found

those

accused to be guilty of offence under Section 2I2 of IPC'

245. ln order to attract an offence under Section 19 of the UA(P) Act, the
prosecution has to prove that the accused had knowledge that the person so
harboured was a terrorist. There is nothing to substantiate the contention that
these accused had knowledge that A2, A3, A5 and A8 were members of terrorist
gang or that the said accused had committed terrorist act. In this circumstance
I cannot find that A25, A34 and 436 have committed offence under Section l-9

of the UA(P) Act, but there is evidence to prove that they committed offence
under Section 212 of lPC. This point is found accordingly.

246. Point Nos.16, 18 and 19:- The prosecution case is that after the
question paper issue, on 28.3.2010 a conspiracy was hatched by A8, A2B, A29

and A32 at Seemas auditorium, Perumbavoor. To prove this contention the

prosecution has examined PW32 Varghese who is the Manager and PW123
Paulose, the owner

of Seemas auditorium. These witnesses stated that

the

auditorium was booked for the district conventlon of SDPI by one Noushad.
f4;P--f9 is the diary maintained by PW32 in the auditorium and Ext.P19(a)
the,,relevant entry showing the details of booking of the auditorium for

rerease of the question paper in the examination herd

at rhodupuzha Newman
College.

247. lt is the case of the prosecution that the State level committee
of SDpl
instructed the District committee to take action against pw2
in retaliation
of the

question paper issue. Accordingry in the convention

herd on 2g.3.2010, Ag, A2g,
A29 and A32 decided to recruit abre bodied men and
to assign the task to
different group of members and to constitute teams for
execution of attack. to
provide sherter for the assairants, to a'ange
vehicres, to provide regar and
medical aid, to arrange financial assistance to the relatives
of the assailants. to
arrange weapons etc.

248. rt is admitted that a convention of the sDpr was herd on

2g.3.2010 at
seemas Auditorium. There is no direct evidence to show that
Ag, A2g, A2g and
A32 attended the meeting. prosecution could not produce any
witness to prove

the participation of those accused in that convention. But the

learned

Prosecutor pointed out that the CDRs of those accused would

show that on the

evening

of

28.3.2010 they were

at

pathipalam location, where seemas

Auditorium situates. To substantiate the contention the prosecution

produced the customer Application Form (cAF) in the
name of A8, A21,

has

A2g,

A29 and A32. Ext.p623 is the copy of the cAF fired by A29
and Ext.p623(a) is

by Vodafone. The relevant cDRs were marked through PW264, who is the Nodal

officer of Airtel and PW271, the Nodal officer of Vodafone as Ext.P627 and
Ext.P664 respectively. Ext.c17 and Ext.c17(a) and Ext.P665 are the CAF, copy
of the lD proof and the cDR of phone number 9745003256 allotted by Vodafone

in the name of A28 M.K.Nazar. Ext.P668 and Ext.P669 are the

CDRS

numbers 9846722220 and 9946855461, along with copy of the cAF and lD
proof of A32 Abdul Manaf and A21 K.M.Ali. Ext. c6 is the Base Transmissive
System list of Kerala circle (Cell lD

list)

produced and marked through PW264,

Nodal officer of Bharathi Airtel. From the evidence of these two witnesses and

from the above CDRs it could be seen that the phones ofthese accused were at
Pathipalam location on that day. So it is to be presumed that these accused had

attended the District convention held at seemas Auditorium on 28.3.2010.

249. PW294 the Circle Inspector of Police stated that on 30.7.2010 as led by

A8 Younus he, along with his party reached at the premises of

Seemas

Auditorium, Perumbavoor and prepared Ext.PL34 pointing out mahazar' PW206

and PW207 two police officers supported the version of PW294 and stated that

they accompanied PW294 and A8 to Seemas Auditorium, Perumbavoor. PW207

identified his signature in Ext.P134 mahazar. Though PW32 has stated that
police brought a man with them to the auditorium and prepared a mahazar, he
was not able

to

identify A8 from the court. He could identify A8 only when the

Public Prosecutor pointed out AB on the dock. Even if it is assumed that

wav there is no much dispute with reqard

tt

to the presence of Ag in that premises on that day. The question to

be decided
is whether he, arong with some other accused hatched
conspiracy as aileged by

the prosecution.
250. Admittedly all the accused are members of pFl/SDpl. lt is admitted
that

A32 was the then District president of pFr. so his presence at seemas
Auditorium, where the convention of sDpl was held is natural. so also the
presence

of other accused who are the members of

pFl/SDpl

in the District

convention of SDP| cannot be said to be suspicious. Even if it is assumed that

these accused had attended the meeting there is nothing to suggest that they
hatched a conspiracy to attack pw2. Mere presence of some of the accused in a

meeting conducted by the District committee cannot be said to be a conspiracy.

I cannot ignore the fact that the office bearers had decided to conduct that
meeting even before the question paper issue and booked the auditorium.
251. According to the prosecution, the next conspiracy was at the Inspection
Bungalow (lB) of Kerala water Authority at Muvattupuzha. pw154 who was the
Mandalam President of SDPI admitted that a convention of SDpl was held in that

lB, but he did not remember the date of that convention. At the same time

he

admitted that he had booked the lB for a meeting scheduled to be held on

L5.3.2010. on that day it was postponed to some other day. This evidence of

PW154 regarding

Bungarow was

the Assistant Engineer of water Authority,

Muvattupuzha office, who was in charge of the lB and pw31 savio, the then

Junior superintendent in the office

of water Authority,

Muvattupuzha. Th6

booking register maintained in the lB was produced by pw90 who was a staff in

that office along with a receipt. Those documents vfere seized by pw294 as per

Ext.p90 seizure mahazar. The register was marked as Ext.PLT and

252.Pw2g,whoisthewatchmanof|BspokethatthemeetingofSDP|was
held in the lB in the evening of 3.4.2010 and on the next day' According to him,

the meeting was held in secrecy and some members were placed near the gate
and on the four sides of the compound to guard the premises. On seeing this he

reported the matter to PW30. PW30 supported these versions and stated that
he reached the spot on the basis of the information passed by PW29. Then he

asked PW29

to get the signature of PW154 in the

register. Though PWL54

stated that he did not remember the date of convention,

it is clear from the

versions of the official witnesses and from the admission of PW154 that

meeting of SDPI was held in the evening of 3'4'2010 and 4.4.2OL0' PW154' the
Mandalam President identified

AlL

Sikkander, A12 K.K'Ali, A20 Anas and A21

K.M.Ali and stated that they had attended the meeting' Those facts are not
seen challenged by the defence. This witness identified an application form for

getting membership in SDPI and that application was marked as Ext.P174'

Ext.P174(a) is the oath

to be taken by the members of

SDPI

at the time of

joining in that organization.

253. The prosecution has got a specific case that during the meeting A3
Muhammad Shobin, A8 Younus Aliyar, A28 M'K.Nazar, A29 Muhammad Kasim,
A32 Manaf and the other absconding accused disassociated and sat together on

225

he had supplied food to the members who had attended the meeting. pw29,
the watch man of rB has no such case. He is the best person to say
so.

rt is crear

from his version that he was watching the members who had
assembred there.
He has no case that some of the participants sat together and
had discussion.
There is no evidence to prove the contention that those accused
disassociated
with the other members and sat together to hatch conspiracy.
254. The prosecution relies on the evidence of pw154 and the cDRs
for
proving their presence in the lB. pw154 has proved the presence
of A11, A12,
A20 and A21. Further Ext.p664, the cDR of Ag would show that his phone was

at Vazhapilly location on 3.4.201-0 at22:47:49 hours, Ext.p627 would show that

A8 Younus Aliyar's other number was at Velloorkunnam location.

255. Admittedry it was a meeting convened by sDpr. The booking was

done by PW154 to conduct the meeting on 21.03.2010 but it was postponed to

3.4.20L0. So

it is clear that the lB was booked for conducting meeting

even

before the examination in which the impugned question paper was supplied to

the students. In this circumstance, I cannot say that the meeting was held with
a view to make arrangements for the attack on pw2. Further pw29 has stated

that around 100 persons attended the meeting. After attending the first day
session

of the meeting, some of the participants left the lB and a

few

participants stayed there. They were engaged in discussion till late night. pw29
could not identify any of the persons who had stayed there.

256. Mere presence of some of the accused in the premises were the
District convention of the party was held is not sufficient to prove that they
haiehed conspiracy to attack pw2. In that meeting around 100 workers of that
:

't

!
t

organisation had participated. There is po.evidence to suggest that some of the

226

participants disassociated from the others, sat together and discussed the
matter in a discreet manner. Here also there is no evidence to prove that

conspiracy was hatched by some of the accused on that day' Further there is

absolutely no evidence to suggest that A32 had participated in the meeting'

The cDRs of A3, A8 and A13, would show that their phones were located in the

surroundings of Velloorkunnam, Muvattupuzha. But it is not sufficient to prove

conspiracy. The fact that some members of the said organisation were placed
on different corners of the lB to guard the premises, is also not sufficient to hold

that some of the members hatched a conspiracy. The definite case of the
accused is that the said meeting was held in the wake of ensuing Panchayat
election. There is nothing unusual in the participation of the members in the

meeting held by their organisation. I cannot reject the said contention of the
learned counsel for the accused, in view of the evidence that the booking was
done on 15.3.2010.

257. ltis submitted by the learned Public Prosecutorthat A3' A8, A11, A12,
A13, A20, A21 and

A29 did not give any explanation at the stage of

examination under Section 313 of Cr.P.C. regarding their presence at lB on that

day- Admittedly it was a meeting convened by PFI/SDPI. The fact that the above

accused who are members of PFI/SDPI had attended the meeting is not at all an

incriminating circumstance against them. Merely because of the reason that

those accused had denied their phone calls alleged to have been made by them

prosecution to prove this contention is Ext.p110 pointing

out mahazar prepared
by pw2g4' pw2g4 stated that Ag red him to Revenue Tower,
Kothamangaram

and thus he prepared Ext.p110 mahazaJ.. pw103 who is

an independent
witness has identified his signature in Ext.pr10 but he courd not
identify Ag. He

stated that pw2g4 brought an accused to that prace. so arso

another
conspiracy was taken prace on r.0.4,2010 at raruk Hospitar, Kothamangaram.
The prosecution case is that on that day A8 and A28 discussed about
the future

plans. Here also there is no evidence except the pointing out memo
alleged to
have been prepared by pw294 on the basis of the statement given by Ag.
That

pointing out mahazar was marked through pwL26 who is an independent

witness. This witness did not mention anything about the presence of any of the
accused at the Taluk Head quarters premises. The prosecution has a case that

on 19.4.2010 another conspiracy was taken place in the building of one Meeran

near substationpady, Kothamangalam. pw294 stated that on 30.7.2010 he

went to the said premises as led by Ag and prepared Ext.plog pointing out
mahazar. PW102 who is an independent witness stated that police came to that

building with an accused. He identified his signature in Ext.p109 but stated that

he could not remember the person who came to that building along with
PW294' What could be inferred from the evidence adduced by the prosecution
is that PW294 was taken to the above mentioned places by Ag. That does not

mean that A8 and some other accused assembled

at any of the places

mentioned above and hatched conspiracy. The pointing out mahazars are not

sufficient

-;r,*.=.

to

prove the prosecution case regarding the conspiracy alleged t6

228

noted is that,
places and discussed their future plans' An important point to be

A8' alleged to have

even the prosecution did not know the accused other than
been attended the meetings.

259. According to the prosecution' on 4'5'20L0' 42 to A7 and A28

at the Municipal park, Kothamangalam and discussed about the

eiecution of the plan. PW34 who is the Secretary of 'Mahatma Swashraya

assemb|ed

Sangham' deposed that during 2010 the said 'Sangham, was managing the
municipal park as entrusted by the Municipality. This witness stated that, after

the hand chopping incident police came to the park along with A2 and
conducted enquiry regarding the meeting held by some persons in the park on

4.5.2010. He informed the police that on that day some persons came to the
park at around 2.30 pm and spent about 1.30

2 hours in the park. He added

that police verified the account book and other registers maintained in the
office. That account book was marked as Ext.P25. The entry regarding the
collection as entrance fees on the relevant day was marked as Ext.P25(a). This
witness identified A2 and added that he did not remember the other persons
who had gathered in the park on 4.5.2010'

260. PW34, identified A2 and stated that A2 had been there in the park on
4.5.201-0. At the time of the cross examination this witness stated

came to the park along with A2 on 31.2.2010. No doubt

it is a mistake.

about two hours. He was abre to identify that

accused in court. The prosecution
courd not chailenge the credibirity of this witness.
There is no sufficient ground
to disberieve the evidence tendered by pw34 who
is an independent witness.
261. pW295 the Deputy Superintendent of police, Muvattupuzha
oeposed

that on 23.9.20Lo he went to the Municipar park, Kothamangaram

as guided by
A5 Shamsudhin and prepared Ext.p114 mahazar. pw1o7
who is an independent
witness and pw203 a porice constable admitted that the
mahazar was prepared

by police at a place near a concrete bench under a rain tree.

Though pw1o7
was not abre to identify A5, it is crear from his version that
an accused was
arso

present at the park along with the porice. pw295 stated

that it was 45 who took

him to that prace. I cannot disberieve the evidence of pw295 that

he wenr to
the park as led by 45. pw2o3 arso proved the presence of 45 in the park
arong
with PW295.
262. According to the learned counsel for the accused, Exts.p1i.2 to p114

pointing out mahazars and the covering letter (Ext.p901)

alleged to have been
prepared on 22.B.2oro and 23.g.2010 are all forged documents
and hence it

cannot be looked into. He pointed out that these documents were

received in
the concerned court on 20.g.2010 itself. lt is true that the court seal
affixed on
these documents would show that those documents were received
in courr on
20.8.2010. To prove that it was a mistake committed by the court
staff, the

office superintendent of that court was summoned and examined as pw302.

This witness produced Ext.c56 Distribution Register maintained
in that office.
According to this witness, Exts.p1i.2 to p114, p900 and p901
documen,, u."-

seen entered

in

Ext.c56 distribution register as seriar No.5542/2010 and

554y20r0. That endorsement was made on

?p.8.2.010. This witness after

230

in those
referring to Ext.C56 stated that the difference in the date seal affixed
in
documents was a mistake and added that these documents were received

court only on 26.8.20:10.

lt appears to be correct. she need not give false

evidence on this point. As per Ext.C56 these documents were received only at

26.8.2010. There

is no question of

manipulation

in

Ext.c56,

register

maintained in the court. In Exts.P112 and P114 the date seal showing date
20.8.2010 was happened to be affixed by mistake. lt was a mistake committed

by the court staff. They failed to change the date on the seal and affixed the
seal in a reckless manner on a subsequent date. I cannot find fault with the
investigating officer for the mistake committed by the court staff.
263. The attempt of the prosecution was to prove that there were no phone

calls in the phone A2, A3, 46, A7 and some of the absconding accused on
4.5.2010. Their mobile phones were found inactive on that day at a particular
time. At the same time the prosecution contends that there was one call in the
phone used by A5 at 3.01 pm. I do not know how the prosecution reconcile
these different situations. By no stretch of imagination it cannot be said that 43,

A6 and A7 were present at the municipal park, Kothamangalam on 4.5.2010.

The contention of the prosecution is that the mobile phones of A2, A3 and 44
were found inactive between 12.23 pm and 03.11 pm. Though the prosecution

did not give the exact time of the meeting held at the park, from the arguments
of the learned Public Prosecutor it is to be inferred that the meeting was held

between 12.00 noon and 03.00

pm.

Ext.P691,

the CDR of phone number

9847542062 (connection obtained by one PW64 Shameer) alleged to have beei

was at Paravur at 3.17 pm. lf that be so,

that meeting held at Kothamangalam. The

231.

evidence of PW34, the secretary of the sangam, who was in charge

of the park

would show that A2 was present in the park on that day. Further
there

is

evidence to prove that A5 took pw295 to that prace. The conduct of 45

showing

the place would prove his connection with that place. That evidence is not
at all
sufficient to prove that A2 to A7 and A2g hatched a conspiracy on 4.5.2010
at
Municipal park, Kothamangalam. There is nothing to prove the charge against

the accused that 43, A6 and A7 and some of the absconding accused had
assembled there and decided to arrange money, weapons, explosives etc., that

A2 was made the leader of the team to execute the attack, that ALi. prepared

and gave a sketch of the route to the house of pw2 and its surroundings and

that A29 and another accused were deputed to arrange mobile phones, SIM
cards etc.

264. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that accused 2 to 7 will have

to explain the circumstances under which their phones have been found
inactive and that A2 have to answer why he was identified by the witness to
have come to the park. According to him, these facts are within the special
knowledge of the accused and they have to explain the same.

when

lt

is true that

a person does an act with some intention other than that which

character and circumstances of the

act

the

suggests, the burden of proving that

intention is upon him. At the same time Section 106 of the Evidence Act will not

attract unless the initial burden of establishing the prima facie guilt of the
accused is proved. The accused are not bound to give explanation regarding
,- the-elii4gnce adduced by the prosecution that their phones were found inactiv6

dtying two\r three hours on a particular day.

,,

i,it'-

265. lLis contended that on 6.5*2010 evening A2gconvened a meeting

of

A2 to A7 and discussed the matter at Perumbavoor Stadium. Here also the

prosecution relies a pointing out mahazar alleged to have been prepared by
PW295. The evidence of PW295 is that on 23.8.2010, A5 Shamsudhin who was

in custody led him to Municipal Stadium, Perumbavoor and pointed out a bench
inside the park. Ext.PL13 is the pointing out mahazar. Ext.P874 is a rectification

report filed by PW294 wherein it has been stated that in Ext.P113 he wrongly
written as Municipal Park instead of Municipal Stadium. PW106 who is running
a shop in front of the stadium/park identified his signature in the said mahazar
and stated about the presence of a person with the police officers at that place.
He could not identify that person, but when learned Public Prosecutor asked A5

to stand up and put a question to the witness whether he had any occasion to
see that accused, this witness answered that the accused had been there in the

stadium along with the police. This cannot be treated as a proper identification.
There is nothing before this court to corroborate Ext.P113 pointing out mahazar.
Further there is no evidence to prove the presence of any other accused at that

place. Even if it is assumed that PW295 was taken to that place by A5 it would

only prove that A5 knows that place. There is no evidence to prove that 45
had conspired with 42, 43, A6 and A7 on 6.5.2010 as alleged.

266. A conspiracy was said to have taken place at Muvattupuzha Municipal

park on 27.5.2010. According to the prosecution,

it

was the third conspiracy

meeting of A2B and A2 to 47. Here also the prosecution relies on a pointing out
mahazar prepared by PW295. This witness stated that on 22.8.2010 at 11.30

went to the Muvattupuzha Municipal Park along with PW2O3 and pWlOi

and it was marked as Ext.p112. According to him, that mahazar was prepared

by PW295 near an

'.6qocs.,

(watch tower). He stated that an accuseo was

brought to that prace by the porice. But he courd not identify that accused.
PW35 who is an employee in the park stated that during the investigation porice

came to the park and made enquiries. He did not give any evidence regarding

the presence of any accused.

267. lt is submitted by the learned prosecutor that during the conspiracy
there were no calls in the mobile phones of A2 to A7. These phones were found
inactive in between 4.15 pm and 5 pm. The attempt of the prosecution was that

at 4.'J.2 pm 46 Shanavas contacted A2 Jamal and then there was a return call
from A2 to 46 at 4.1-3 pm. At that time the phone of 42 was found to be at
Marampilly location. At 5.53 pm the phone of A2 Jamal remained

to be at

Marampilly. In between 4.L3 pm and 5.53 pm that phone was found

to

be

inactive. At that time 46 shanavas was at Kalady. That means both of these
accused were at different places. Thereafter a call was seen made by A6 to A2g

at 4.15 pm. At that time the location of A28 was at Mathoor. That would also
suggest that these persons were at different places at around 4.L5 pm. After

4.L5 pm all the mobile phones went inactive. There is nothing to suggest that

after those phone calls all these persons assembled at Muvattupuzha park.
whatever may be the contention of the learned public prosecutor there

is

nothing to suggest that A2 to A7 and A2B had assembled at Muvattuouzna

Municipal park on 27.5.20'J-o and discussed about the execution of the attack on

has a case that on L.7..2OI0, A28 convened a meeting

at Kunjunnikkara. The prosecution cpuld not give the

t.'

234

exact time of the alleged conspiracy. lt is submitted that there was no activity
in the mobile phones of 41 to A7 in the evening. The attempt was that during

that break they assembled at the house of A28.

PW33 who is

the wife of A28

denied that seven persons had assembled in her house on 1.7.2010. This
witness has admitted her photo in Ext.P23, the copy of the cAF in her name and

a copy of her lD card, but she denied the signature in the said
application form. She denied the suggestion put forward by the Public
Ext.p24,

Prosecutor that as per the said application, phone number 9846182638 was

allotted to her. PW288 is the mother in law of A28 and mother of PW33. This
witness identified Ext.C19 CAF and C19(a), the lD proof submitted by her for

getting mobile phone number. Then she identified the photo in Ext.C17

CAF

and Ext.Pl(b) to be the photo of her son in law Nazar (A28). What could be
inferred from the evidence of these witnesses and documents that A2B was
using the phone numbers obtained in the name of his wife and mother in law.
Those phones were found inactive during the alleged conspiracy meeting. Even

if

that phones were found to be at that particular place, there is nothing to

doubt about the same as A28 was residing in that area. There is no evidence to
prove that a meeting of A2 to A7 was held in the house of A28 on

'J..7

.2OLO.

269. The argument of the learned Public Prosecutor is that the mobile
phones of A2

to A7 were commonly placed without usage on the night of

1.7.2010 with a clear set of pattern and it would indicate the discrete nature of

the accused persons. I cannot accept this contention because those phones

-.^

235

of 44 at 7.57 pm. Ext.p636 cDR which is in the name of A5 would show that
there were two calls to his phones at 5.5g and 6.19 pm. so also calls are seen

registered in Ext.P691, and Ext.p696, the cDRs of the phone alleged to have
been used by 46 and A7 at 5.15 pm and 7.22 pm.

on

the basis of these cDRs

the prosecutor cannot argue that the phones of these accused were placed
without usage at a particular point of time with a very clear set of pattern.
There is no evidence at all to prove that these accused assembled at the house

ofA28 on that day.

270.lt is alleged that on 3.7.20ro a high level committee of pFl was held at
the house of PW157 Ansari at Kakkanad to discuss about the steps to be taken

to harbour the

accused,

to make propaganda after the incident for

taking

political benefit etc. Prosecution has examined PW157 who is the owner of the
house. The ownership ceftificate of the said house was marked as Ext.p607
through the Secretary of Thrikkakara Municipality (PW253). But PWl"57 did not
give any evidence with regard to the alleged meeting. This witness stated that
during the investigation police conducted search in his house and seizeo some

material objects including MO.27 CPU. He identified the copy of his driving
licence seized by the police at the time of the search and it was marked as
Ext.P17B. PW169 Anwar Sadath also denied having attended the meeting.
These witnesses were declared hostile.

27I.

PW248 Haris has admitted that he had worked as the Secretary of

Tlrejus "Charitable Trust during 2.007

'..rrtember:of

2010. During that period he was

the State Committee of PFl. He admitted that he had furnished the

to whom mobile phones were given by Thejus Charitable

and P599 are thg.reports submitted by him and Ext.p598 is tfie

236

covering letter attached

to

Ext.P597.

ln addition to this he has produced

Ext.P600 report furnishing the names and address of the trustees of Thejus
Charitable Trust. These documents were marked subject to the objection raised

by the defence counsel that these documents are hit by Section 162

Cr.P.C.

Admittedly this witness had produced this list as per Ext.P601 notice issued by
the Deputy Superintendent of Police under Section 43F of the UA(P) Act. PW248

stated that phone numbers 9746477689,9745004910 and 9745004911

obtained by Thejus Charitable Trust were given by the trust to PW36 Raihanath,

one Moideen Kunju and Mansoor K.A. for their use. He denied that he had
acquaintance with Moideen Kunju, Mansoor and A32 Manaf. He was also
declared hostile. The evidence tendered by this witness would prove that Thejus

Charitable Trust had distributed some SIM cards obtained by them to some of

the witnesses and some accused against whom no charge sheet has been filed.
Those facts have no relevance in this case.

272. The prosecution relies on the CDRs of A32, A37 and some others to

prove the conspiracy meeting alleged

to have been held on 3.7.2010. The

phone alleged to have been used by A37 was found inactive. That does not
mean that the said phone was switched off by A37 so as to attend the meeting.
Ext.P668 CDR of the phone number alleged to have been used by A32 would
show that his phone was at Kakkanad location between 5 pm and 7.45 pm. So
also the phone numbers alleged to have been used by one Moideen Kunju and

,,'-Manso-gr (both not charge sheeted) were

'i;-

at

Kakkanad location. But the

prosecutiron was not able to collect any evidence against the involvement of the

Kunju and Mansoor in the offence. Though thr

tnese Dersons were

sed in the records, the,prosecution did.not file any charge sheet

237

against these two persons. what remains is the phone aileged to have
been
used by A32. No doubt his phone was found at Kakkanad location. But that
fact
is not sufficient to substantiate the contention regarding the conspiracy. Even
if

it is assumed that A32 had been at that location on the evening of 3.7.2010,

cannot say that A32 and A37 had assembled at the house of pwL57 with
others. The remarks made by the learned public prosecutor in the notes of
argument and in the additional notes of argument regarding the phone of A37

and the contact with others are all inferences. The fact that there was no

activity in the phone of A37 during those hours cannot be treated as an

additional link to connect the chain of circumstances. since there is no pnone

call in the phone number used by A37 he is not bound to explain any
circumstance. A37 is not expected to give any explanation regarding the fact

that his mobile phone was found inactive for two or three hours. what could be
inferred from the evidence available before this court is that a meeting of pFl

was held on 3.7.201"0 at the house of PW157. That does not prove that

conspiracy was hatched by A32, A37 and some other accused on that day.

273. lt is argued that on 3.7.20L0, A2to A7 assembled at the house of

A28 and made the last minute preparations. The prosecution could not produce

any direct evidence to prove the presence of any of those accused at that
place. Just like the other conspiracies,

the

prosecution relies on the CDRs of

these accused. Ext.P697, the CDR of phone number 9847573397 alleged to

hgvelbeen Used by 43 would show that the said number was at Thottumukham

, 1. location on 4.7.2070 at 00:04:19 hours. So also Ext.p632 the CDR of phone

number 8129101103 alleged to have been used by 45 would show that on

\,,

,...

{,3.7..2010 at 2?:12 hours the pfrone was at pulinchodu, near Aluva. So it is,to be

238

presumed that 43 and A5 were at the Suburbs of Aluva at the time mentioned

above.ButthereisnoevidencetosuggestthepresenceofA2,46andATat
Aluva or its surroundings on 3.7.2010. lt is very pertinent to note that the
orosecution has no case that these accused had contacted each other from

different places, discussed the matter over phone and thus there was meeting
of minds. The definite case of the prosecution is that these accused assembled

at the house of A2B, for which there is no evidence. The only link available to

the prosecution is that the phone numbers alleged to have been used by

A3

and 45 were found at Thottumugham and Pulinchodu locations near Aluva.

274.The prosecution case is that after the incident A28 called one Ayoob
(not charge sheeted) and directed to arrange a meeting place to discuss the

future plans. lmmediately the said Ayoob contacted A14 over phone, A14

in

turn. called PW36 Raihanath and her husband Shihab (PW153) and arranged
their house for the meeting of the conspirators. lt is contended that A14' A28,

A29 and A32 and one Moideen Kunju assembled in that house and made
arrangements

to

provide transportation and safe hide outs

to A1 to

A7.

Ext.P668 CDR of phone number 9846722220 which is in the name of A32 Manaf

would show that his phone was at Mannam between 10.47 hours and 12.46
hours.

lt is further

stated that Ext.P701 CDR of phone number 9847345611,

which is in the name of PW63 Adam, alleqed to have been used by A14 Siyad
was found

to be at Paravur - Mannam locations between 8.57 hours and 12.47

presence

239

275. According to the prosecution, A14 siyad was using

mobire number
9847345617 which was issued in the name of pw63 Adam. pw63
has admitted
his signature in Ext.p55 apprication form submitted by him for gerting
that
phone connection. Ext.p54(a) is the copy of the rD card
submitted by him
arong

with Ext'P55' This witness admitted that A14 is a relative of his wife, but
denied
that the said slM card was given by her to AL4. This witness was atso declared
hostile. Some contradictions were marked on the side of the prosecution

as

Ext.P56 series through this witness. whatever may be the contentions

of the
prosecution, there is no evidence to prove the presence of any of
the accused
other than A32 at Mannam on 4.7.2010.

276. pws 36 and 153 pretended ignorance about such a meeting. They

were declared hostile. lt is admitted that pw36 was the state committee
Member of National women's Front and pw153 is an employee of Thejus Daily.

Further

it is argued that pwL53 is an accused in crime No.705/2010, a case

registered by Muvattupuzha police in connection with a march conducted

by pFl

to that police station to protest against the move of the police against

pFl

workers. lt may be true. Simply because of the reason that these witnesses
are
active members of pFl, I cannot say that what is stated by
prosecution

the

is

true. The definite case of the prosecution is that Ar4, A2g, A29 and A32
assembled at that house and hatched conspiracy. But there is absolutely
no
evidence to suggest the presence of A2g and A29 at that house at the relevant

time. At best court can presume that after the attack on pw2, A32 and A14 met
".,-

together at Mannam and had discussions. lt would not prove that these two
I1-l

accused.,,.had prior knowledge about the attack.

'

,277.'lt is the prosecution case that after the above said consprraFy, A3z

.;.,,;:1i,,,;:',,,r.

240

met A8 and one Noushad Kunjunikkara at the premises of sait Masjid, Aluva,
had discussions and arranged safe hide outs to those persons. Ext.P668 CDR in

the name of A32 would show that between 13:39:52 hours and L4:01:06 hours
the said number was at Aluva Bank Junction (Cell lD No.13271) where the Sait
Masjid situates. PW16l" Abdul Nazar who is running

a shop at Aluva Bank

Junction deposed that Sait Masjid is just 50 meters away from his shop. From

this evidence it could be seen that A32 was present at that location between
1.30 pm and 2 pm. But there is no evidence to prove the presence of A8 Younus

Aliyar or any other accused at that place on 4.7.2010 between 1.30 pm and 2
pm.

278. PW150 who is working as a UD clerk in Kanayannur Taluk Office stated

that on L6.6.201l- he reported in the NIA office as directed by his head of office,

from where he was taken by the NIA officials and one Noushad to

Seemas

Auditorium, Perumbavoor, Sait Masjid, Aluva and then to Daffodils Flat at

Thrissur. He identified his signatures in the mahazars prepared by PW302 from

those locations. Those mahazars were marked as Ext.P165, P166 and

P167

respectively. PW147 Sijin Varghese, who is residing in Flat No.7B has stated that
NIA officials came

to his flat with an accused namely Noushad. The prosecution

relies on the evidence of this witness and Ext.P166

to prove the

presence of

Noushad. But prosecution could not collect any evidence or file charge sheet
against the said Noushad. Therefore the presence of the said Noushad at Sait
Masjid is not at all relevant in this case. At present there is no evidence to
suggest that A8 Younus Aliyar and A28 met A32 at Sait Masjid, Aluva. The only

be drawn from the evidence of these witnesses is the

presence of A32 at Sait Masjid between 1'30 pm and 2 pm.

of

The definite case of the Prosecution is that the accused, active

Popular Front

of India/Social Democratic party of India, out of

enmity towards PW2 on his having incorporated blasphemous reference to

Prophet Muhammad and lslam in a question paper set for internat examination

of B.com degree course held on 23.03.2010, acted as a terrorist gang and

hatched criminal conspiracy at various places with a common object to wreck
vengeance. But the Prosecution has failed to prove the case that the accused

had assembled at various places on different dates and hatched conspiracy.

That does not mean that there is no evidence to prove the conspiracy hatched
by accused to execute their plan to murder pW2.
280. The offence of criminal conspiracy consists in a meeting of minds of

two or more persons for agreeing to do or causing to be done an illegal act by

illegal means, and the performance of an act in terms thereof. lf pursuant to

the criminal conspiracy the conspirators commit several offences, then all of
them will be liable for the offences even if some of them had not actively
participated in the commission of the offence. Conspiracy can be hatched in

different methods. For hatching conspiracy the conspirators need not sit
together and discuss the matter. In order to constitute an offence of criminal
conspiracy there should be an agreement between persons to do one or other
of the acts described in the section. What is required is the meeting of minds.

281. In Yashpal Mittal v. State of Punjab (1977 KHC 715) the

Hon'ble Supreme Court observed as follows:"The very agreement, concert or league is the ingredient of the

offence. lt is not necessary that all the conspirators must know each

and every detail of the conspiracy as long as they are

co-

participators in the main object of the conspiracy. There may be so

many devices and techniques adopted to achieve the common goal

of the conspiracy and there may be division of performances in the

chain of actions with one object to achieve the real end of which

every collaborator must be aware and in which each one of them

must be interested. There must be unity of object or purpose but
there may be plurality of means sometimes even unknown to one
another, amongst the conspirators. In achieving the goal several

offences may be committed by some of the conspirators even

unknown to the others. The only relevant factor is that all means

...."i

court quoted portions of an earrier judgment (sardar sardut singh

caveeshar v. state of Maharashtra-ArR 1965 sc 6g2l wherein it was herd:
"ln short, the Section can be analysed as follows: (1) There shall be
a prima facie evidence affording a reasonabre ground for a court to
believe that two or more persons are members of a conspiracy; (2)

if the said condition is furfiiled, anything said, done or written by

any one of them in reference to their common intention will

him should have been said, done or written by him after the

relevant for the said purpose against another who entered the
conspiracy whether it was said, done or written before he entered

the conspiracy or after he left iU (5) it can only be used against a

co-conspirator and not in his favour."

283. The learned Public prosecutor, in several pages of the notes of

argument has stated about the conspiracy. No doubt it is very difficult to prove
the conspiracy with direct evidence. He has cited the ruling of the Hon'ble Apex

court

Thus, if two or more persons enter into a conspiracy, any act

them pursuant to the agreement is, in contemplation of law, the act of each of

them and they are jointly responsible therefore. This means that everything

the common purpose is deemed to have been said, done or written by each of

the conspirators pursuant to the original agreement but also to collateral acts

together is csncrusive in estabrishing the guirt of the 0ci:rsed,

the

or

more of these facts by itserf or themserves is/are not decisive.

The

facts established shourd be consistent onry with the hypothesis of

the guilt of the accused and should excrude every hypothesis excepr
the one sought to be proved. But this does not mean that before the
prosecution can succeed

evidence alone,

it

in a case resting upon

circumstantial

must exclude each and every hypothesis

suggested by the accused, howsoever, extravagant and fanciful it

might be. There must be a chain of evidence so complete as not to

leave any reasonable ground for the conclusion consistent with the

innocence

of the

accused and must show

that in all

human

probability the act must have been done by the accused, where
various links in chain are in themselves complete, then the false
plea or false defence may be called into aid only to lend assurance
to the court."
285. lt may not be possible to prove conspiracy by direct evidence. In V.C.

Shukla and others v. State (Delhi Administration)- AtR 1980 SC t3g2

held as follows:-

"

Before we proceed further, we might indicate that

it

is well settled

that in order to prove a criminal conspiracy which is punishable under

Section 120-8 of the Indian penal Code, there must be direct or
..-eireumstantial evidence to show that there was an agreement between
,/:... :
'

true that in most cases it will be c.liffi":ult to get direct evidence of an

agreement to conspire, but a conspiracy can be inferred even from
circumstances giving rise to a conclusive or irresistible inference of an
agreement between two or more persons to commit an offence"'
286. The learned Public Prosecutor has cited several other rulings on

this point. The

defence also cited several rulings including

Purushothaman v. State of Kerala (2005 (4) KLT 842 SC), Arul Raia

v. State of Tamil Nadu (2O1O (8)

SCC 233),

fohn Pandian v' l'G',

Tamil Nadu (2O1O (14) SCC 129), Viiayakumar

v. State of

Rajasthan (2014 (1) KLT Suppl. 29 SC) and Baliya @ Bal Kishan v.

State of M.P. (20f2 (3) SCC 123U on the same point and submitted
that tits and bits are not sufficient to prove conspiracy, it must be proved
by reliable evidence and all change should be fully proved. For brevity all
those rulings need not be mentioned in this judgment. The dictum of the
rulings cited by both sides is same.

287. The Prosecution mainly relies on the Call Data Records (CDR) of the
accused

to prove the conspiracy. ln Wasim Khan and others v. State of

Chhattisgarh- (MANU/CGlO357l2OL3, it was held by the Hon'ble High Court

of Chhattisgarh that to prove the conspiracy various proved circumstances have

to be appreciated not in

isolation but

in

conjunction with other proved

circumstances. All these circumstances put together lead to a conclusion that a

. conspiracy was hatched actuated by motive of revenge. Conversation amongst

the accused, persons lead to inference of conspiracy, not because there were

materials used for committing the offence.
288. PW295 Deputy Superintendent of Police, Muvattupuzha deposed that

he had approached the Superintendent of Police, who is the authorised officer

to take steps to get the CDRs of the accused. lt is admitted that as per the rules

and regulations issued by the Telephone Regulatory Authority of India, the

competent authority

to get the CDRs from the service providers is

the

Superintendent of Police. PW295 has specifically stated that the letter sent by
him for getting the CDRs were returned by the Nodal officers and then he made

arrangements to get the CDRs through the Superintendent of

Police.

The

Nodal officers have stated that they produced CDRs as per the requisition made

by the authorised officer. There is no reason to disbelieve the

evidence

tendered by PW295 and the Nodal officers on this point. Nobody could believe

that the service providers have violated the provisions and issued CDRs on the
basis of the application filed by the Deputy Superintendent of police. The mere

fact that the prosecution did not produce the copy of the requisition filed by the
Superintendent

of Police to get the

CDRs would not falsify

the evidence

tendered by PW295, which is sufficiently supported by the Nodal officers.

289. Another contention raised by the defence counsel is that the

CDRs

produced before this court are not properly certified as per the provisions of the
Evidence Act and as such those documents cannot be considered as primary

658 of the Evidence Act reads as follows:

290. In AnwarP.V. v. P.K.Basheer (AtR 2Ot5 SC IBO) the Hon,bte

supreme

court

held that an electronic record by way of secondary evidence

shall not be admitted in evidence unless the requirements under Section 65

are satisfied. Thus, in the case of CD, VCD, chip, etc., the same shall

be

accompanied by the certificate in terms of Section 65 B obtained at the time of

taking the document without, which the secondary evidence pertaining to that
electronic record, is inadmissible.
291. According to the learned counsel for the accused there is no proper

certification in the CDRs produced before this court. His contention is that the
persons who have certified the CDRs are not the persons connected with the
..n.,.tflgvant

device and none of them have certified that the informations collected

l'' ' are true and correct to the best of his knowledge and belief.

all the required materials are there in those certificates.

293. The Nodal officers of BSNL, MTS, Bharathi Airtel, Vodafone Celluar
Limited. Tata Tele Services, ldea Cellular Limited and Reliance Communications

were examined as PWs 240,241, 242, 264' 268' 27I' 272 and 215. PW240'

The Nodal officer of BSNL proved Exts. P576, the CDR relating to the phone
connection of one M.K.Asharaf (not charge sheeted), Exts. P577 and 578 CDRs
relating to the phone calls of Aliyar (father of A19 Niyas) and Ext. P582 relating

to phone number 9446935639 of A16 Abdul Salam. PW247, the Nodal officer of
MTS proved Ext.P583 and 584 CDRs of the phone numbers of A24 and another.

PW242, the then Nodal officer of Reliance Communications identified the CAF

submitted by PW154 Shalikar and it was marked as Ext.C4. According to him, as

per the said application phone number 9809926230 was allotted to that
applicant. PW264,

PW268, the Nodal officer of Reliance communications identified Ext.P663 and
Exts. P635 to 637 CDRs of the phone numbers in the name of 431, A37, 45 and

Exts. p6B3 to 686 cDRs were

of Tata Tele services.

Those

certificates are relating to the phone numbers of A17 (having two mobile phone
connections), A27 and 46. PW275, the Alternate Nodal Officer of BSNL produced

the documents relating to mobile phone number allotted to one Hashim K.p,
K.M.Samad, K.M.Muhammad, Muhammad Ansari (pW157), M.K.Asharaf (not

charge sheeted) and one shaji, The cAFs and lD proof submitted by those
persons were proved as Exts.C37 series to C42 series. The Cell lD list of BSNL
Kerala Circle was marked as Ext.C43. These witnesses have specifically stated

about the certification and about their authority to retrieve the call data from

the central server and to issue

CDRs as

the

Nodal officers of the respective

companies. According to these witnesses, all the call data will be saved in the

central server of the respective service provider automatically. The data saved

in the Central Server is protected by separate password. Nodal officers

and

Alternative Nodal officers shall have separate password and lD to take the data.

PW27I has specifically stated that permanent lP is installed in the office

computer to retrieve CDR. Nodal officers can retrieve data from that computer

only by using their user lD and password. The above Nodal officers have
specifically stated that Nodal officers and Alternate Nodal officers are the
authorised officers and no others will have access to the said computer or to

the server to retrieve data. They have stated that the lD and passwords will not

that the documents proving the authority of these witnesses to issue CDRs are

not produced, the oral evidence tendered by these witnesses regarding their
authority cannot be rejected. These witnesses who are legally bound to issue
CDR need not give false evidence on this point.

lt is clear from the versions of

these witnesses that they have no control over the data saved in the server but

they have the authority to retrieve the call data of the subscribers on getting
application from the authorised officers. Further

it is clear from the

evidence

that since the call data are recorded in the server system in an automated
process, no alteration in the call data is possible.

294. Another contention of the accused

is

that the CDRs issued by PW271

are not accompanied by certificate as provided under Section 658 of the

Evidence

Act. Ext.C60

is the certificate in respect of the CDRs produced by this

witness before the investigating officer. Those CDRs are seen retrieved on
22.7L2O70 and Ext.C60 is seen signed by this witness on 02.12.2O10. pW271
have specifically stated that after taking all the print outs he certified the same

and handed over the same to the concerned officer.

lt

is true that Ext.C60

certificate was produced before this court only on 22.10.2013. But that does not

mean that he had handed over the CDRs to the police without proper
certification. In Crl.MP 9912013,

the petition filed by the learned Public

Prosecutor to receive the documents it has been stated

the cDRs produced by pw271, were not accompanied by certificates. Merely

because of the reason that the certificate was not signed by the concerned
officer when the print outs were taken, I cannot say that there is no compliance

of Section 658 of the Evidence Act. I do not find any reason for pW271 who

is

not at all interested in the subject mafter of this case to give false evidence.
295. There is no dispute regarding the fact that Ext. p5g3 and p584, the
CDR issued by PW24L, who is the Nodal officer of MTS are not certified. In the

said CDRs there is

no certificate at all.

I could find that the other CDRs are

properly certified by the concerned officers. On a scrutiny of the CDRs, I could

find that all of these records except Exts.P583 and P5B4 are properly certified.
The omission on the part of the Nodal officers to mention in the certiflcates that

the information collected are true and correct to the best of their knowledge
and belief, will not make the cDRs inadmissible.

these documents.

lt is not a ground to reject

lt is brought out through the Nodal officers that the

information recorded are true to the best of their knowledge and belief. On
going through the evidence of these Nodal officers I am satisfied that the CDRS
were properly certified as provided under section 65B of the Evidence Act.

296.

lt

is the definite case of the prosecution that A2 Jamal was using

mobile number 9946304017. PW27l identified Ext. c23 cAF and Ext.c23(a), the

copy of the lD produced by A2 for obtaining the said number. Ext.P674 is the
CDR. The mobile phone used by A2 was seized

turned hostile to the prosecution. But they admitted their signature in Ext.P141

seizure mahazar for MO.214 mobile phone and Ext.P142 seizure mahazar
prepared by PW295 at the time of the recovery of the motor cycle of A2. The

learned

Public Prosecutor through PW128 marked Ext. P143 series

contradictions and marked Ext. P164 series contradictions through PW149. On

going through the evidence I find that these witnesses who are residing near

the house of A2 turned hostile with a view to help 42. That is not a ground to
disbelieve the evidence of the investigating officer with regard to the seizure of

this mobile phone with SIM card. Further in Ext. P203(a), the application
submitted by 42 for getting party membership, this number is seen written as
his phone number. This accused, at the time of questioning under Section 313
CrPC has admitted

that he was using the said number. lt is admitted by the

orosecution that the mobile phone of A2 was found inactive at the relevant

time. Further the prosecution could not point out any suspicious call with the
other accused. Therefore the

CDR of this accused has no relevance in

this case.

297. lt is argued that some of the accused were hiding from 30.6.2010

itself.

lt is submitted by the learned

Public Prosecutor that A2 to A7 were

engaged in the preparation of the attack and so they had to keep away from

their houses. To prove the said case the prosecution has examined some
witnesses. PW85 who is running a driving school at Perumbavoor deposed that

the recovery of these documents. pw129, who is a relaiive oi pw85 admitted

his signature in Ext.pL44 but denied having seen the production of those
documents. Though this witness was declared hostile, pw85 has admitted that
he had produced those documents before police. According to pwg5, though 42

was directed by the concerned department

to attend the driving test

on

2.7.2oro, he did not turn up on that day. The evidence of pwg5 that 42 did not
attend the driving test held on 2.7.20re is not a ground to believe that A2 was
absconding or hiding himself for making arrangements for the attack.
298. The prosecution has a case that 42 was absconding after 3.7.2010.
PW70 who is the wife of A2 was examined to prove that 42 did not come to

their house after 3.7.2010. But she did not support the prosecution case that A2
was absconding. she was declared hostile to the prosecution. Though there is

no evidence to suggest that A2 was absconding after the incident, there

cogent evidence

to

prove his involvement

is

in the overt act. Therefore

prosecution need not rely on circumstantial evidence to prove the guilt of A2.
299. PW278, Rajkumar, Nodal officer of ldea Cellular Limited produced the
cAF and copy of the lD proof submitted by 43, shobin. Those documents were
marked as Ext. c48 and Ext.c48(a) respectively. As per this application, phone

number 9847573387 was allotted to 43. pw93, who is the father of 43 stated

that he did not remember the phone number of his son. But the said phone
number is shown in Ext.P88 sale agreement entered into between 43 shobin

Ext.P569 is the mahazar prepared by PW295 for the recovery of the

the said phone. 43 has admitted that 9847573387 was the number allotted to

him. At the time of examination under Section 313 Cr.p.C. this accused

has

admitted the said number and added that his parents and their employees were
using the said number. But there is no evidence to prove that his parents were

using the said number, which was obtained by him. This number was found

inactive during the relevant time and date. Here also, as in the case of A2
prosecution could not point out any suspicious call.

301. PW118 who is a neighbour of A3 has admitted his signature

in

Ext.P128 mahazar prepared by the police for the recovery of the above said

motor cycle from the house of A3, but he did not admit that he had witnessed

the seizure of the motor cycle from the house. This witness, though declared
hostile, has admitted that police came to house of 43 and that he had signed in

the said mahazar from that house. pw117 paulose who is an attestor to the said
mahazar stated that he does not remember as to whether he had signed in any

mahazar from the house of

43.

From the evidence

it is clear that police

has

seized the motor cycle of 43 from his house. But that fact has no relevance.

There is no evidence to prove that the said motor cycle was used by 43

by A5.

The prosecution has proved that A5 has been using

mobile phone connection with that number. According to him he used to call
A10 and A20 in this number. so also he used to contact the father of Niyas, who
is a "Vaidyan" (practitioner in Ayurvedic medicine).

303. The prosecution has

a case that 45 was using another

mobile

number which was obtained by pw1-l-2 Muhammad Hashik. pw112 has

admitted that he had obtained some mobile phone connections for his business

purpose. PW264, the Nodal officer identified the cAF and the documents
produced by PW112 along with that application and those documents were
marked as C11 series. PW112 Hashik identified the copy of the CAF, copy of

the lD proof and the letter addressed to the Airtel and those documenrs were
marked as Ext. P120 to P122. This witness has submitted that he took those
connections for the use of his employees including one Shamsudhin. At the
same time he stated that he does not know Shamsudhin. This witness was
declared hostile. lt is clear that his attempt was only to depose in favour of A5

who was an employee under

him.

He could not give any explanation for the

suggestion put forward by the learned Public Prosecutor that he had contacted

A5 in the above said number on several occasions between March 2010 and
July 2010. A contradiction was marked by the prosecution through this witness

before pw295. The mahazars prepared by PW295 for recovery of these
material objects were marked through PW21O who is a civil police officer as
Exts.p482 and P483. The evidence of PW295 and PW210 would prove that the

mobile ohone and SIM card of 45 were produced by PW86 before PW295'
Whatever may be the contentions of the accused on this point, it could be seen

from Ext.P715 that phone number 8129101103 was saved in the mobile phone

of A2 Jamal in the name shamsu.P. This data saved in the phone of A2 Jamal
would also support the prosecution case that the phone number was used by
A5. The cDR of this phone number would show

that

A5 had contacts with

some of the accused, over Phone.

305. An attempt was made by the prosecution to prove that on 3^7.2010 A5

was in the company of AL to A4 and A25 and he did not even attend his wife
who was hospitalised. PW84, wife of A5 admitted that she gave birth to a child

on

4.7.20'J.O

at Carmel hospital, Aluva. lt is submitted by the learned

Public

Prosecutor that A5 did not go to the hospital on 4.7.2010 or on its previous day

to see his wife and that itself would prove that he was engaged in the
preparation of attack. PW84 and her mother (PW79) denied the prosecution
case that A5 did not come to hospital on those days. PW94, who was working as

a nurse in Carmel hospital, Aluva stated that on 3.7.2010 at 9'30 pm and on the

next day at 6 am she went to the room wherein PW84 was admitted, as part of

2b1

prosecution on this aspect. There is evidence to prove lhe pre:errce i:f 45

at ti:*:
place of occurrence at the time of attack on PW2 and about the act committed

by him. Therefore the evidence tendered by pw84, pw79 and pw94 regarding
the absence ofA5 at hospital on the previous night has no relevance at all.
306. To prove that A5 was absconding after the incident the prosecution has

examined three witnesses as pw95

to pw97. pw95 and pw96 who were

working in the workshop of Ali, brother of A5 shamsudhin and pw97 who is

running

shop near the workshop stated that A5 used

to come to

the

workshop. when the learned Public prosecutor put a suggestion that after the

hand chopping incident 45 did not come to the workshop, they pretended
ignorance. But these witnesses have admitted that when they went to the
house of 45 to mourn the death of his mother, they could not see ,A5 in that
house. No doubt this evidence of PW95 to PW97 would support the case of the

prosecution that he was absconding. This fact is also a circumstance against

that accused. But as stated above, where there is direct evidence to prove the
complicity of the accused, court need go for circumstantial evidence. Here the
eye witnesses have proved the involvement of this accused in the overt act. In
this situation court need not go for circumstantial evidence.

307. The learned counsel for the accused refuted the contentions of
prosecution that A5 was absconding and pointed out that on 5.7.2010 the
police had registered a case against A5 and others for conducting police station

march. Ext.D26 is the certified copy of the final report submitted by DWI-, the
"'
.,1'-"'!i'Sub Inspegtor

of Muvattuouzha before the concerned court. Ext.D27 is the

certified cppy
of the FlR. In the said final report A5 herein was shown as A70.

prepared that final report on the basis of the statenlent given by some sDPl
workers. Whereas PW305, the Circle Inspector of Muvattupuzha stated that as

per the direction of the superintendent of Police, Ernakulam Rural, he

conducted further investigation

in crime No.704/2010 and filed a

supplementary final report under Section 173(B) Cr.P.C. On further investigation

he came to know that A5 herein did not participate in the march. Therefore he

filed the additional report deleting the name of A5 in the party array. These
facts are not at all relevant in the case on hand. There is clinching evidence to
prove the involvement of A5 in the attack on PW2. Hence this point canvassed
by the defence does not require a detailed discussion.

308. Ext. C34 is the CAF and Ext. C34(a) is the copy of the lD submitted

by 46 Shanavas for getting mobile phone connection. This CAF was identified

by PW273, Anwar Azeez Sait, who is the present Nodal officer of Tata Tele
Services. As per this application phone number 8089230639 was allotted to
Shanavas. Ext. P685 is the CDR and 685(a) is the copy of the lD proof produced
by PW272 before the investigating officer. There is no dispute with regard to the
use of the above said mobile phone number by 46.

309. PW64 Shameer who is the brother in law of 46 Shanavas admitted

that he had obtained an ldea mobile phone connection, but he did

not

remember the number allotted to him. Admittedly Ext.P57 is the copy of the

-j"'6pplieetion form submitted by him for getting that connection. According to

getting membership in the party. Further it could be seen frorn Ext. p715 that

this number was saved by A2 and A25 as the number of

46.

The

CDR

(Ext.P685) would prove that 46 was in touch with other accused.

310. To prove that this accused was absconding one of his neighbours
was examined as PW77. This witness stated that he knows 46 for the last 10

20 years. The distance from his house to the house of 4'6 is less than

100

meters. This witness stated that after the hand chopping incident he could not
see 46 Shanavas in that locality. lt is clear from his evidence that at the time of

the incident he was admitted in a hospital. There is no evidence to show as to

when he was discharged. Since he was in the hospital, there is no chance for

this witness to see 46. From the evidence of this witness. it cannot be inferred
that 46 was absconding.
311. The prosecution claims that during 2010 A7 Pareed was having

mobile phone connection with number 9605300950. Ext.P696 is the

CDR

relating to that number. PW88 Abu, father of A7 denied that he had produced
the mobile phone, driving licence, identity card and passport of 47 to the police.
PW132, who is an attestor

to Ext.P150 mahazar stated that he did not see the

recovery of those items from Abu. These two witnesses were declared hostile.
PW279 the Nodal officer has admitted that the said connection was in the name

of one Akhil. There is absolutely no evidence to show that 47 Pareed had

obtained
';t

phone number from ldea Cellular Limited. PW87 Abdul Gafoor

.denied that he had given a SIM card to A7 and that he had subsequently
produced the same before the police. The mere fact that the said number was

saved-in the phones of A2 and A5 (obtained in the name of PW112),bs that Df

26:i

A7, is not sufficient to prove ttiat A/ was i.tsing lfrir laiil ilumbei'

312. From the above discussion, it is clear that A2,A3,A5 anC 46 were
having mobile phone connections

during 2010.

The relevant cDRs would

orove that there had been contacts between these accused during the relevant

period. The definite case of the prosecution is that these accused kept their
phones idle during the time of operations without any activity. The said
contention seems to be correct. I am satisfied that A2, 43 and 45 to 47 took

due care and caution to see that their phones are not used during the
operation. The said conduct of the assailants would show that it was a well
planned operation. That itself would show that these persons had discussed

the matter sufficiently early and decided as to how it was to be executed.

Further there is evidence to show that A12 had purchased MO2 for the use of

these accused. They took all the necessary steps

in

pursuance

of

the

conspiracy hatched by them. No other evidence is required to prove that A2,

43 and A5 to 47 had conspired for committing the offence and made all
arrangements for that purpose, along with some other accused including A12.

am satisfied that the prosecution was able to prove their case against A2,A3
and A5 to A7 regarding the conspiracy hatched by them, beyond reasonable
doubt.
313. The prosecution has proved that A8 Younus Aliyar was in the gang who

had visited the house of PW2 on 17.05,2010. On that day they did not attack
PW2; might be a futile attempt or

it might be a preparatory one. But that fact

on that A8, A28 and A32 decided to arrange a vehicle for

had visited his shop at rhrissur to enquire about the availability of nraruthi
omni

van. After two or three days A12 and another (pw5r identified the photograph

of 44) directly approached pw51 for purchasing the omni van with sufficient
amount.-The learned public prosecutor pointed out that the calls made by Ag,
A],2, A28 and A32 would prove that they were the persons who had decided to
purchase Mo2, arranged the consideration for the same and deputed A12 and
A4 to purchase the same.

314. According to the learned public prosecutor, Ag had two mobile phone

connections. Pw264, the Nodal officer of the Bharati Airtel and pw274. the

Alternate Nodal officer of Vodafone identified the cAFs submitted by Ag in the

respective companies for getting mobile phone connections. Ext.cg and c15 are

the

CAFs submitted by A8 in those companies and C8(a) and C15(a) are the

copy of the lD produced along with those CAFs. Those applications were
received and phone number 9995954555 was allotted to him by the Airtel.
9846508555 was the number allotted by Vodafone to AB. Ext.p627 and C664
are the relevant CDRs. A8 has denied these phone numbers.

315. The photograph of A8 is seen affixed in Ext.C8 and C15 CAFs. The
copy of the lD card of A8 is seen produced along with those CAFs. I do not find

any reason to disbelieve the evidence of the Nodal officers with regard to the

allotment of mobile phone numbers to A8 on the basis of the applications

submitted by him. According to PW271, it was a postpaid connection. In such
nection the phone bill will be issued to the subscriber every month in the

bills issued by the co;npanf in his address. Further it could be seery

the list of the freedom parade organising commitiee mernbrers. His name was
shown as the co-ordinator. During the said period he was the Division President

of pFl. Further this number is seen saved in the phone of A9 in the name of
Yoonus N. So also the Airtel mobile phone number of AB is seen written in the

application submitted by him for party membership (Ext.PL96(a)). This number

is also seen saved in the phone of A2 in the name Yoonus K.M' All these
evidence would prove that during the period covered by Ext'P627 and P664, AB
was using those numbers allotted in his name by the said service providers.

316. PW271 deposed about the calls made between A8 and the phone
numbers 9037220794 (phone number of A17- alleged to have been used by
A28), 9745003256 (phone number of A2B),9846722220 (phone number of A32)

and 9567693209 (phone number of A12). Ext.P664 would show that A8 had
contacted A12 on 14.6.2010 at 1.19 pm. There was a call on that day between
A32 and A8 at 2.05 pm. PW271 has specifically stated that on L5.6.2010 there

were three calls between the phone number

of AB and phone

number

9567693209 (phone number of A12). Those calls were at 5.54 am, 6.04 am and
at 6.23 am. Another call is seen made between these two numbers on the same
day at 10.18 am. There are corresponding entries in Ext.P620, the CDR of the
phone number of A12. On that day A15 went to Thrissur and purchased MO.2

from PW14. These facts would support the prosecution case that on that day
and the previous day A8 and A12 had discussed about the purchase of Maruthi

is very pertinent to note that A8 or A12 did not admit those phone

circumstance against these accused and is a link in the circumstances to prove

the guilt of those accused.
317. According to PW27L, there were three calls between AB and the phone

number 9037220794, alleged to have been used by A28 (admitted number of

A17). There were several other calls between the said number of Ag and the

phone numbers in the name of A28. Further

4.7.20LO

it is stated by pw271 that on

at 6.30 am and 8.L9 am, A8 contacted A9. At 10.L1 am the

said

number of Younus Aliyar was located at Anikkad, Muvattupuzha. Thereafter the

said number was not used by A8. The prosecution has got a definite case that
A8 was deputed by A28 and A32 to visit the place of occurrence and to report
about the situation prevailing in that area. Even if it is assumed that there is no

evidence

to prove that A32 and A28 (absconding) had contacted A8 on that

day, the presence of AB at Anikkad, is suspicious. A8 younus Aliyar did not give

any explanation regarding the above mentioned phone calls and about

his

presence at Anikkad on 4.7.2010.

318. ln Neel Kumar alias Anil Kumar v State of Hariyana

(ZOL2| s

SCC 776 the Hon'ble Supreme Court held as follows:-

"lt is the duty of the accused to explain the incriminating

circumstance proved against him while making a statement under
Section 313 Cr.P.C. Keeping silent and not furnishing any explanation

for such

circumstance

is an additional link in the chain of'

it is wel:

established principle of law that in a case of circumstantial evidence

where an accused offers false answer in his examination under 313

against the established facts that can be counted as providing

missing link for completing the chain."

In the said judgment the Hon'ble Supreme Court has discussed about an earlier

decision reported in Swapan Patra v. State of West Bengal

- (f999) 9 SCC

242 and observed that in case of circumstantial evidence when the

accused

offers an explanation and that explanation is found not to be true then the
same offers an additional link in the chain of circumstances to complete the
cha in.

320. This accused did not give any satisfactory explanation regarding the
above mentioned phone calls. Whereas this accused has simply denied his
phone numbers. That itself is a strong circumstance against the accused. The
circumstances which I have discussed in the above paragraphs would prove the

involvement of A8 in the incident and the preparation made by them to execute

their plan.
321. PW42 Shiyas and PW43 Afsath stated that A8 was harboured in their
house by A34. PW23 Varghese spoken about the stay of AB and the presence of

A25 at Daffodils flat, Thrissur. PW45 Tony also stated about the presence of A8

at that flat during the middle of July 2010. Further PW26 Rejoy and

PW44

2_F,9

signed in Ext.PllB mahazar prepared by police from the hou;e oi ili/Jl8 Rarnla,
who is the wife of 426. According to him, police came to that house along with

person. when learned Public Prosecutor showed Ag to this witness he sated that

the said accused might be the person who came to that house with police. The
evidence adduced by the prosecution on this point would suggest that Ag had

stayed in the house of PW43 Afsath, in Flat No.7B. Daffodils at rhrissur and in

the house of PW28 Ramla. A8 did not give any explanation regarding his
presence in the above said places. This evidence would support prosecution
case that after the hand chopping incident A8 was absconding. This is also a
link in the chain of circumstances against that accused.
322. Another circumstance against A8 is the recovery of Ext.P62 bus daily

statement from the possession of A9 Jafar who was arrested by the police
immediately after the incident, while taking the Maruthi omni van which was

used by the assailants

to

those

statements were marked as Ext.P61 series and P62. According to this witness,
these statements were prepared by him in his own handwriting. He added that

the two phone numbers written in Ext.P62 are not in his handwriting.

This

witness added that he knows A9 Jafar, who is a relative of the owner of the said

1,4.2.2011. while

FSL spoke

examined the questioned handwriting in Ext.P62 which was marked as A1 (a)

and 42 (a) with specimen writings marked as S1(a) to S56(a). Ext.P689 (in two
sheets) was the admitted writings forwarded to his office and Ext.P690 contains

the specimen writings. Ext.P687 is the report filed by him. According to him,

after comparison he found that the person who wrote the blue enclosed
standard writings stamped and marked as A1(a), A2(a) and S1(a) to S56(a) also
wrote the red enclosed questioned writings marked as Q1(a) to Q2(a). lt is clear

from the evidence of PW277 that phone numbers in Ext.P62 were written by A8
who has given the specimen handwriting to the police for investigation.

323. The learned counsel for the defence put forward a contention that
Ext.P62 is not properly proved. According to him, nothing has been mentioned

about the said document in the arrest memo or inspection memo prepared by
Pw294 at the time of the arrest of A9. The prosecution case is that Ext.P62 was

recovered by PW294 from A9 as per Ext.P428 mahazar. The argument of the

learned counsel for the accused is that if Ext.P62 was in the possession ofA9 at

the time of arrest, it would have been mentioned in Ext.P431 arrest memo and
Ext.P787 inspection memo.

lt

is true that PW294 did not mention anything

about the recovery of Ext.P62 in Ext.P431 arrest memo or in the inspection

271

recovery of that document. Fxt.P428 seizure mahazar wor.rld sirow i:har. r*ccil ery
was made at u|.35 pm, after the arrest of A9. The said document was recovered

by PW294 as per Ext.P42B mahazar. That mahazar was seen produced before

the concerned court on 5.7.2010. Nobody could believe that

PW294 had

fabricated such a document on the date of incident itself. lt is true that there is
no independent witness in Ext.P428 mahazar. The witnesses signed in Ext.P428

are police officials. There is no chance of securing the presence of independent

witnesses

in the police station. lt cannot be considered as a

suspicious

circumstance. The above circumstance pointed out by the learned counsel for

the accused are not sufficient to reject the evidence of PW294 with regard to
the recovery of this document.

324. Now there is evidence to prove that Ext.P62 daily statement of

accounts with the phone number of A8 and A10 Asharaf was seized from the
possession of A9 on 4.7.2OIO itself. The said account statement was found in

the possession of A9 while he was travelling in MO.2. Further lcould find from
the evidence of PW27I that there were two calls from the phone of A8 to the
phone number of A9 at 6.30 am and 8.19 am on 4.7.201.0. This would also
prove the link between A8 and A9. The seizure of Ext.p62 statement which
contains the phone number of A8, which is proved to be in the handwriting of
A8 is also a piece of evidence to connect AB and A9.
Let me conclude the circumstances highlighted by the prosecution
i) he was in the gang who visited the house of PW2 on 17.5.2010,

iD

calls made between this accused with A12 on 14.6.201"0 and

on which date A12 purchased MO.2 omni van from PW144, iii) his

at Anikad on 4.7.201b at 10.11 am (prosecution has a definite.c'ase

purpose of taking further action), iv) the: phone calls with Ag on 4.7.2010 at

6.30 am and 8.19 am and v) after the incident he went absconding. These
factors are sufficient to connect all the link against A8 and it would lead to an
irresistible inference of an agreement between this accused and the other
accused whose involvement in the crime has been Droved.
326. According to the learned counsel for the accused, mere abscondance

of an accused cannot be taken as a circumstance against him. He relied on the

decisions of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in S.K.Yusuf v. State of West Bengal

(AlR 2Of

154

SC 2283),

Suiit Biswas v. State of Assam {2013 (2) KLT S.N.

Case No.194 SC) and Rabindra Kumar Pal @ Darasingh v.

Republic

of India (AlR 2011 SC 1136). The Hon'ble Supreme Court

observed that even an innocent man may feel panicky and try to evade arrest
when wrongly suspected of a great crime. In Sujith Biswas's case the Hon'ble
Supreme Court has made it clear that the act of absconding is a relevant piece

of evidence to be considered along with the other evidence. I have already

found that the prosecution has succeeded in connecting all the link in the chain
of circumstance against A8.
327. PW279 the Nodal officer of ldea Cellular proved Ext.P71, copy of CAF
submitted by Jafar (A9), S/o Meeran and Ext.P71(a) copy of his lD card. Ext.P699
is the CDR of that Dhone number 9605785296. This document would prove that

the above said number was allotted by the ldea Cellular to A9 Jafar. According

273

conneclion. The original cAF and the copy of the

lll

produced alcng r.;ii-h tirai

cAF were marked as Ext.cg and c9(a). Ext.p62B is the cDR. Exts,p699 and p62B

cDRs would prbve that these numbers had contact with Ag and some others.
Corresponding entries are seen made in the CDRs otAS also.

328. I have already discussed about the seizure of Ext.p62 bus daily
statement containing the phone number of A8 from the possession of A9. so

also

have given the details of the phone calls made between these two

accused on 4.7.2010.In addition to these materials, the prosecution was able to

prove the recovery of Mo.2 from the possession of A9. The seizure of Mo.2 from

the possession of this accused, thattoo within two hours afterthe incident itself
is sufficient to prove the role played by this accused in the commission of the
crime. I am satisfied that the circumstances proved by the prosecution would
prove the involvement of A9 in the conspiracy to attack pW2.
329. According to the prosecution, ALO Asharaf was deputed by A8, A2g and

A32 to wait at Perumbavoor, to take possession of MO.2 from A9 and to destroy

the same. lt is argued that A10 reached at the spot at perumbavoor to receive
MO.2, but on the way the said vehicle was seized by the police. pW294 stated

that on 4.7.20IO at g pm he arrested A10 Asharaf at the premises of the police

station as per Ext.P432 arrest memo. Ext.P788 is the inspection memo prepared

by him at the time of arrest. After the arrest, PW294 stated that he recovered

mobile phone (MO.81) and a wrist watch (MO.82) from the possession of A10.
Thereafter he questioned the accused and recorded his statement. To connect
A10 with the offence, the prosecution mainly relies on Ext.p62 daily statement

phone number of ALO. MO.B1 is the mobile phone seized from A10 as per
Ext.P429 seizure mahazar. Merely because of the reason that the above said

phone number of A10 is seen written in Ext.P62 which was seized from A9,

cannot say that A10 was aware of the conspiracy. Admittedly all the accused
are members of PFl. Even if it is assumed that the phone number of A10 who is
a member of PFI was given by A8 to A9, it will not be sufficient to prove that it
was given with the knowledge of A10. lt is true that Ext.P698 CDR would show

that A1O had contacted some accused on one or two occasions. But that is not
sufficient to prove that he had participated in the conspiracy against

PW2.

Further there is no evidence to show that A10 waited at Perumbavoor to receive

MO.2, as directed by A32 or A2B. Though the prosecution has examined PW290

Shihabudheen to prove that he had obtained a mobile phone connection with

number 9946609011 and gave it to some accused includinq A10, this witness

did not support the said case of the prosecution. When the learned Public
Prosecutor showed the CAF in the name of A10, this witness stated that he does

not know the person whose photograph is seen affixed in the

CAF.

There

is

absolutely no evidence to suggest that this accused had participated in any of

the conspiracy or rendered any help to the other accused including A9 to

commit the crime. The fact that a slip containing the phone number of this
accused was seized from another accused. whose guilt is proved, is not a
ground to enter into a conclusion regarding the involvement of this accused.

surroundings of the l'rouse of PW2, in tite rneetirrg lreld al Seernas Aurijtoriulrr

on 28.3.2010 and directed A8 to find out a person who knows the topography of
Muvattupuzha town and the house of PW2. AB, as entrusted by A2B and A32

contacted A11 sikkander Alikhan who is an auto driver at Muvattupuzha and

asked him to prepare a sketch of the locality where the house of pw2 situates.

It is the case of the prosecution that A11 had prepared a sketch and handed
over the same to A8. on verification, A8 noticed some mistakes and then
returned the sketch to A1L to rectify the mistakes. Accordingly A11 rectified the

mistake in the sketch and placed it before A8. These are the allegations of the
prosecution against A1 1.
331. PW294 stated about the arrest of A11. According to him, on 24.7.20L0

Al-1 Sikkander Alikhan was found with his auto rickshaw at the premises of
Muvattupuzha private bus stand. Then A11 was brought to the police station.

On interrogation he realised the involvement of A11

in the offence. At L2 noon

he arrested that accused and prepared Ext.P497 arrest memo. The mobile
phone (MO.94) and the purse (MO.95) found to be in the possession of A11 were
recovered as per Ext.P466 seizure mahazar. Ext.P8B0 is the inspection memo
prepared by PW294. Thereafter he questioned A11 and came to know that the
said accused had prepared a sketch of the place of incident. On the basis of the
confession statement given by A1L that he had kept that sketch in his auto
rickshaw, he took the sketch which was kept in a box in auto rickshaw bearing
No.KL-17/F.5760 as per Ext.P442 mahazar. The sketch was identified by this

and it was marked as Ext.P443. Ext.P444 is the mahazar prepared for

ry of that auto rickshaw.
is p6inted out by the learned counsel for the acc0sed that the arrest

of A11 itself is doutrtful. According lo hi

who were present at the time of

arrrst

iri i.ii:: arlhci

of A11 have no consistent

case

regarding the arrest and recovery The version of PW294 is that A11 was found
near the auto rickshaw stand and then he brought that accused to the police
station. The arrest and seizure were made from the police station. But PW213
Shameer. a Head Constable in the investigation team gave a different story
about the arrest of A11. This witness has specifically stated that they reached
Ashramam bus stand at 11.50 am and found 411 sitting in his auto rickshaw in

the auto rickshaw stand. According to him, ALl- was arrested by PW294 from
that auto rickshaw stand near Latha Theatre at 12 noon. An arrest memo was
prepared from the spot. This witness identified that arrest memo and

it

was

marked as Ext.P494. Thereupon Al-L was taken to the police station along with

the auto rickshaw. During cross examination this witness has reiterated that the
arrest of ALl- was from the auto rickshaw stand nearAshramam bus stand. He

was sure that Ext.P494 was prepared from the auto rickshaw stand. The
evidence of PW213 regarding the place of arrest is supported by Ext'P497.
When the learned counsel for the accused put suggestions

to

PW294 with

regard to the arrest of A11, that officer made attempt to wriggle out from the

situation by saying that the entry in Ext.P497 regarding the place of arrest is
mistake. In view of the answers given by PW213

cannot accept the said

contention of PW294. On going through the different versions of the officials

what could be inferred that the version of PW294 regarding the arrest of A11 is

'

coffSct. Then how the evidence

". -not
-- 'i .1

'" ' -'

r

tendered by this witness regarding the

reiovery\ilf Ext.P443 could be believed? The main link to connect A11 to the
i.. 1.,:'
offencel,..is the. recpvery of Ext.P443. But the evidence. adpuced by the

277

prosecution regarding

the recovery is contradjr:tory tri

e.:ch

other and

untrustworthy. The evidence of PW213 and the entries in Ext.p497 would falsify

the evidence of PW294 with regard to the arrest of A11 and the recovery of
Ext.P443 sketch alleged to have been made frorn the auto rickshaw.

333. Ext.P443 sketch was forwarded to the Forensic Science Laboratory and

examined by PW277. His report was marked as Ext.p687. Ext.p6g8 is the

standard writings of ALL. This expert opined that on comparison it was found

that the person who wrote the blue enclosed standard writings also wrote the
questioned writings

in

Ext.p443. whatever may be

the report of

pw277

regarding the authorship of Ext.P443, in view of the contradictory versions of

PW294 and PW213 regarding the arest of that accused and seizure, it cannot

be looked into. Further I cannot believe that this accused who is an active
worker of PFl, had kept the sketch prepared by him in his auto rickshaw which

was plying in and around Muvattupuzha town, while the police was searching

for the culprits who are the members of PFl. The evidence adduced by the
prosecution regarding the arrest of A11 and

the

seizure of Ext.p443 sketch is

found to be not acceptable.

334. No doubt the CDR produced by the prosecution would prove that AL1

had contacted some of the accused. The CDR of phone number 9961g39g01
and the copy of the CAF submitted by Sikkander Alikhan were marked through

Pw279, the Nodal officer

/,

Ext.p695 and p695(a).

Ext.P695(b) is the lD proof. Though the accused has denied the use of the said

alleged. The prosecution could not pin []Dint a particular call to prove that he

had contacted the accused whose involvement has been proved, with

an

intention to prepare a sketch during the last week in the March or in the month
of April.

335. PW264, the Nodal Officer of Bharati Airtel proved Ext. C5 CAF and
C5(a) copy of the lD submitted by A12 K.K.Ali. The learned counsel for the
accused has contended that the photo affixed in Ext. C5 is not that of Ali and on

that sole ground it is to be rejected. There is difference in the photo affixed in

Ext. C5 and the photo in Ext. C5(a), copy of the lD proof submitted along with

Ext.C5. There is no dispute that Ext. C5(a) is the copy of the driving licence of
A12. At the time of examination under Section 313 Cr,P.C this accused has
admitted that Ext.P47 is the copy of the driving licence given by him to PW5L.
Though this accused, put forward a contention that there is difference in the

photo in Ext.CS and C5(a), he did not put any such suggestion to PW264
regarding the same. The defence did not put any question

to

PW264

challenging the genuineness of Ext.C5. The address of K.K.Ali shown in Ext.C5

and C5(a) are one and the same. PW144 has stated that after the sale of MO.2

to A12 Ali, he called A12 on several occasions in that mobile phone number
furnished by Ali, and requested to take steps to transfer the ownership of that
omni van. The mobile phone numberof A12 written in Ext.P45 and in Ext.Cs are

one and the same. There is sufficient evidence to prove that the said mobile
number was used by A1-2. Therefore I need not probe into the question as to
how therdi.ffgrence in the photograph was occurred.
,.offic,ers

lt is proved by the Nodal

that {uringrthe period they were fot conducting any Bnquiry before

279

issuing rnobile phone numbers to ttie appiicants. All thesr- I'srinalities were cloi-rl

by the retailers. The retailers might have committed mischief while accepting
the cAF, but it is not a ground to reject the evidence tendered by prosecution
through PW51 and Pw144 regarding the phone number of A12. pw98, who

is

the owner of the tipper lorry driven by Ar2 stated that he used to call Ali over
phone. Though this witness stated that he did not remember the phone number

of A12, he did not deny the suggestion put forward by the prosecution that the
phone number of A12 Ali was 9567693209. pw12o who is working as a tipper
lorry driver also stated that A12 was having a mobile phone connection. I am
satisfied that Ext. c5 is the cAF submitted by A12 K.K.Ali for getting mobile
connection. From Ext. c5
issued to

A12. There

it could be seen that 9567693209 was the number

is convincing evidence to prove that A12 Ali was using the

said number.

336. From the evidence of pw264 it could be seen that there were rB4

calls between Ar2 Ali and A8 younus Aliyar during the period between
25.3.201-0 and 30.8.201.0. so also there were 135 calls between A12 and 44

sajil. Tiue, these contacts are not sufficient to prove the involvement of

an

accused who was charged for conspiracy. But there is ample evidence to prove

the involvement of A12. The call details would show that he had contacted A8
on 15.6.20L0 on which date he purchased Mo.2 from pw144. There were calls
between A8 and A12 in the early morning before 6.30 am. on 14.6.2010, these

two accused had contacted over phone. This fact, coupled with the phone calls

that A12 frad direct involverneni. i* ilre

need not go for any other evidence. There is evidence to prove the allegation

against A12 that he took part

in th:

conspiracy

to attack PW2, made

arrangements for the execution of their plan and purchased MO.2 for that
purpose.

337. The allegation against A13 Shiyas is that he had participated in the
conspiracy held at the Inspection Bungalow at Muvattupuzha, helped AB Younus

in recruiting the members for committing the crime, provided financial help to
the family of some of the accused and conducted police station march with

view to deviate the investigation. This accused was arrested by PW294 as per
Ext.P494 arrest memo. Ext.PLg7(a) is the application submitted by him for

getting membership in SDPI. lt is admitted that he is a member of PFl. The

attempt of the prosecution was to prove the conspiracy by producing his call
details. PW264 proved the copy of the CAF submitted by A13 Shiyas and the
CDR of phone number 9995227345, allotted

to that accused. Ext.P625 is the

CDR and P626 is the copy of the CAF submitted by A13.

338. Ext.P625 would show that 413 used to contact A8 and A32. There is

no other evidence against this accused. None of the witnesses has given
evidence against this accused. There is no evidence to suggest that these calls
were made by A13 for the purpose of committing offence or that he was a party

to the conspiracy. Merely because of the reason that this accused had contacts
with the District President of PFI and Muvattupuzha Division Convener of PFl,

cannot say:,that he was aware of the conspiracy or took part in the conspiracy.

. The pr,osecution has got a case that A13 had approached some building owners

to provide

tr.ide outs

to theaccused.

Tg

substantiate the contention one witness

281"

was examined as PW57, but he denied that A13 had approached hinr for getting

his building for rent. The prosecution has failed to prove that allegation

also.

The fact that he had attended the meeting of pFl held at lnspection Bungalow,

Muvattupuzha on 3.4.2010 is not a circumstance to prove the involvement of

this accused in the offence. I do not find any reason to fasten this accused with
criminal liability.
339. There is an allegation that

A13 and A24,

as directed

by

A28 rendered

financial assistance to the accused who were absconding. pw75 who is the

mother

ot

A72 denied the suggestion put forward by the learned public

Prosecutor that when the child of A12 was admitted in the hospital during that

period, A13 Shiyas and A24 Muhammadali went to the hospital and paid some
amount to her. There is absolutely no evidence to prove that A13 or A24 had
rendered financial assistance to the family members of A12 who was involved
in the offence.

340. The alleged role of A14 Siyad is that he took part in'the conspiracy
held at Seemas Auditorium on 28.3.2010, arranged a meeting of some accused

including A28, A29 and A32 at the house of PW36 Raihanath and purchased SIM

cards through PW290 and CW276 and helped

to arrange a car bearing

No.KL-8/A8.5597 for the escape of A28 and conducted police station march to

deviate the investigation. According to the prosecution, A14 Siyad managed to

arrange the said car which belonged to one Suhara through her son Hansal.
PW294 has stated about the arrest and seizure of MO.210 mobile phone with

at the time of arrest. pWL94

North Paravur stated about the searchJ,conducted in the

282

house ofA14.

341. PW36 Raihanath and her husband shihab who was examlned

as

pw153 denied the prosecution case that a meeting of A28, A29 and A32 was
held at their house at Mannam. These witnesses were declared hostile to the
prosecution. The learned Public Prosecutor marked some contradictions through

this witnesses as Exts.P27 and P171. Any way there is no evidence to suggest
that a meeting of some accused was held at the residence of PW36'
342. According to the prosecution, A14 Siyad was using the phone obtained

in the name of PW63 Adam. PW63 who is a close relative of AL4 admitted that

he had a mobile phone connection with number 9847345611. This witness

identified Ext.P54 as the copy of the lD proof and Ext.P55 as the copy of the
CAF submitted by him for getting that connection. But this witness denied that

the said SIM card was given to A14. He was declared hostile to the prosecution

and some contradictions were marked by the learned Public Prosecutor

Ext.P56 series. So also there is no evidence to show

that

as

A14 had arranged a

SIM card through PW29O Shihabudeen. PW290 has admitted that he had a
Vodafone mobile phone connection, but he denied the suggestion put forward
by the learned Public Prosecutor that the said SIM card obtained from Vodafone,

was given to A14. Though the prosecution has contended that A14

had

obtained another SIM card through Cw276 Vahishad, they could not adduce any

evidence in support of the said contention. PW61 who is running

mobile

ne shoo at Paravur denied that he had sold a mobile phone to Vahishad and

issued b.sash bill in the name of one Manoj. These witnesses were declared
!
pWOZ wfro
slM cards stated that one Vahishad had
who was a dealer of SIM
hostile. pw6z

purchased a SIM card from his shop. This witness identified^,Ext.P59ithe copy of

283

the CAF and Ext.P60, the copy of the lD proof submitted by Vahishad in his shop

for getting the SIM card. He added that the number issued to Vahishad as per
this application was 9946617247. From the evidence of PW67 it is explicit that
Vahishad had purchased a SIM card from his shop. But the prosecution could
not adduce any evidence to show that the said SIM card was given by Vahishad

to A14. PW62, who is the mother of Vahishad denied that a 5lM card was given

by her son to A1-4. So also there is absolutely no evidence to prove that A14
had arranged a meeting of A28, A29 and A32 at the house of Raihanath or
arranged two mobile phones through PW290 and CW276 and gave it to A28.
343. When examined PW71 Suhara denied that her son Hansal took their

carfrom her house on 4.7.2010 and gave it to Siyad. PWI-52 Hansal also denied

the said prosecution case. There is no evidence to show that A14 Siyad had
provided a car to A14 to transport A2B.
344. Admittedly Ext. c7 is the cAF and c7(a) is the copy of the lD submitted

by A15 Dr. Reneef. These documents were marked through Pw264. As per his

application, number 9746026660 was allotted to him. Ext.P621 is the cDR of

that phone number issued in the name of A15. lt would prove that he used to
contact in the number of 416, A17, A19, A28, A32 and A34 Anwar sadique. At
the time of examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. this accused stated that wife
and mother of Anwar Sadique and father of A17 Kamarudheen were his patients
and they used to call in his clinic in the above number. lt may be true. Even if it
is assumed that A34 and A28 had occasion to contact this accused on that day,

,had participated in any of the conspiracy held before 4.7.20L0. His role starts
J

284

only after the incident, when A2B requested his service for the treatment of A1
and A5. Prosecution case is that on 4.7.2010 at B:39:10 am A28 contacted this

accused through the phone of A17. The call duration was 15 seconds. At
8:39:50 am there was an outgoing call from the mobile phone of this accused to

the above said phone of 42B. There is no other call between these numbers on

that day. I cannot say that these calls were made in

conspiracy. By that time the incident was over. Even if

had contacted this accused after the incident,

it

pursuance

of

the

it is assumed that A2B

cannot be said that this

accused also took part in the conspiracy.

346. The learned counsel for the accused argued that the frequent contacts

between friends, colleagues, party leaders and members of political parties

cannot be considered as unusual. Admittedly all the accused are active

members of PFl. There is every chance for these persons to contact each other.

It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the accused that in the Parliament
attack case (State (N.C.T. of Delhi v. Navjot Sandhu

- AIR 2OO5 SC 3820)

the Hon'ble Supreme Court held thatfrequent calls by one of the prime accused

with other accused before, during and after the attack cannot be taken as a
ground to convict that person. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the said

case,

had noted the conduct of accused Gilani who had responded to the information
about the attack on parliament with a loud laugher and held that it is natural

that there will be contacts between the members of the same group when

an

untoward incident takes place. In the said case there was evidence to prove
were contemooraneous calls between Gilani and two others who
,,j

..

.-:t.:-

were.lqu'Qdlguilty. Further it was proved in the said case that Gilani pointed out
.

.i ' .1 '
,ar

,:

'.'

",. :tf'p house,.ot,pne convicted person. The Hon'blp Supreme Court has considered

285

all those aspects and held that his conduct which is evident from the facts and

from the untruthful pleas raised by him about his contacts with shaukat and
Afzal, give rise to serious suspicion at least about his knowledge of the incident

and its tacit approval of it. At the same time, suspicion however strong cannot

take the place of legal proof. lt was observed by the Hon'ble supreme court
that though his conduct was not above board, the court cannot condemn him in
the absence of sufficient evidence pointing unmistakably to his guilt. Therefore,

even

if it is assumed that some of the accused contacted each other.

immediately after the incident it cannot be said that the latter was aware of the
entire conspiracy. lf a person after committing an offence contacts another and
making request to do some favour, it cannot be said that the latter was aware
about the offence committed and that it was committed with the concurrence of

the latter. lt is to be noted that A15 has explained the calls received from the
mobile numbers of A34 and A17. Even

if it is assumed that his explanation

regarding those phone calls are not true, court cannot found him guilty on that
sole basis. In the Gilani's case it was proved that he was given false answers to

the question put to him during the examination under Section 313

Cr.P.C. The

Hon'ble Supreme Court had considered that aspect and observed that he gave

false answers probably in his over anxiety to wriggle out from the situation and

it does not make an otherwise innocuous factor an incriminating circumstance.

In the earlier paragraph of this judgment I have already found that there is no

e to prove that this accused had treated AL or 45. Further there is no

lt

286

connect A16 with the offence or the conspiracy hatched by the other accused'

347.lt is admitted by A17 that he had three mobile phone connections

in

his name. Ext.C33 is the cAF submitted by A17 for getting Tata Tele services
connection and Ext.P630 and P630(a) are the copies of the cAF and lD proof

submitted by this accused. These documents were marked through Pw264,

Nodal officer of Airtel and PW272, Sheela Sara Abraham, the Nodal officer of
Tata Tele services. Ext.P683 and Ext.P6B6 are the cDRs

of phone numbers

9037220794 and 9249738696. Ext.P629 is the CDR of Airtel phone connection

number 9995377187. The CAF, copy of lD proof etc were marked as Ext.C3L,
Ext.P683(a) and P686(a). This accused did not deny these numbers. According

to him, he was using the mobile phone number 9249738696.

Phone number

9995377!87 was used by his family members at his house. He added that the

other number 9037220794 was used by his father. lt is very pertinent to note
that the prosecution has no case that this accused took part in any ofthe overt
act or in the alleged meeting held at various places. The only allegation against

the accused is that he gave the SIM card of phone number 9037220794 to A2B

for the purpose of commission of the offence and thus helped the accused.
Ext.P6B3 CDR of this phone number 9037220794 would show several contacts

with the other accused who took part in the alleged conspiracy. The prosecution
case is that those calls were made by A2B by using the phone number of A17.
First of all there is no evidence to suggest that this SIM card was given to A28

and that A28 was using that number. There is absolutely no evidence to show

over the SIM card to A28. The fact that thi;

-"!hat this accused had handed

,.:

aJiLSeO is an active member of PFI and that he had contacts with A8, A32, A34

prove the alleged entru,stment of that SIM card to

t

287

A2B. Even

if it is assumed that the said slM card was happened to be in the

possession of A28, court cannot enter in to a conclusion that this accused had

handed over the same knowingly that

it

was given for the purpose of

committing an offence.
348. The defence has put forward a contention that AL7 and A27 were

taken into custody on 4.7.2010 and they were under illegal detention till
9.7.20L0. He raised the same allegation regarding the arrest of other accused
also. According to the defence counsel, the close relatives of A17 and A27 filed

a petition before the Judicial

First Class Magistrate, Muvattupuzha

to

issue

search warrant to find out those accused who were in illegat detention. The
learned Magistrate appointed an Advocate Commissioner to inspect the police

station and office of Circle Inspector and Deputy Superintendent of

Police.

Accordingly the Advocate Commissioner had inspected the said premises but he
could not find out those accused at that premises. The Advocate Commissioner

was examined as DW2.

He identified the warrant issued by the court in his

name and the report filed by him before the Magistrate's court and those
documents were marked as C57 and C58 respectively. According to this witness,

though he had inspected the police station lock up on 9.7.2010 at 3.30 pm he

could not find out those two accused in that premises. This witness, to
question

put by the learned counsel for the accused during the

chief

examination, stated that he had asked the Sub Inspector, Circle Inspector and

Deputy Superintendent of Police about the arrest of those two persons. But

there is nothing in Ext.C58 report that he had contacted those officers.

lt

iS

clear from the evidence of this witness that he was not able to find out the
i'

.'

accused in the police station premises. Further he ha.d no case that the police

t:i

,i1,.,.^...l ,
i n,

ii

2BB

officials had stated that these two accused were arrested by them on that day

or on the previous day. There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that these

two accused were arrested on 4.7.2010. Whereas PW294 the Circle Inspector of
Police, Muvattupuzha deposed that on 9.7.2010 at 10.50 am he arrested A17

and 427 as per separate arrest memos and recovered mobile phones found to

be in the possession of those accused. The arrest memos were marked

as

Ext.PA74 and P475 and the inspection memo prepared by this witness were
marked as Ext.P80B and P809. The mobile phone recovered from these accused

were marked as MO.100 and MO.101. On that day itself he prepared Ext.P810
report to incorporate the names of these two persons. I do not find reason to
disbelieve the evidence of PW294 regarding the arrest of these two accused.

Merely because of the reason that the relatives of these two accused had
approached the concerned Magistrate with a complaint,

lt cannot be said that

the allegations raised by them in that complaint were true. lt is to be noted that
A9 and A10 were arrested on 4.7.20L0 itself and that matter was reported to
the court without any delay. They were produced before the Magistrate without
any delay. That fact itself would show that the invedtigating officers had no such

intention to detain any of the persons who were taken into custody. On the
other hand they promptly reported about the arrest of accused in court without
any delay.

349. lt is alleged that A18 Fahad being member of terrorist gang rectified

the mistakes in the sketch prepared by 4L1 as directed by A8. Further this
accused, as

a member of the pilot team to watch the movements of

followed PW2 and gave intirnation

PW2,

to the other accused regarding

the

movements of,,PW2. For that purpose he used the mobi[e phone number of
tl.:i

PW306 Christopher. These are the allegations against A1g.

350.

Pws

2 and 3 deposed that on 2.7.2010 while they were going to

Bishop's house they were followed by two persons on a motor bike. These two

witnesses identified them

in court as A1g and A37. The prosecution

has

examined witnesses to prove that A1B was the owner of a motor cycle bearing
No.KL.7E.7849 and

that motor cycle was seized by the police as produced by

his father. PW250 Asharaf who is working in the police department was the

RC

owner of motor cycle bearing No.KL-7/E.7849. Ext.P618 is the RC particulars of

this motor cycle produced by PW262 the Motor Vehicle lnspector of

North

Paravur. According to PW250, on 8.10.2009 he sold the said motor cycle to ALg

and handed over the original documents with sale letter. This witness identified

the said motor cycle as Mo.102. pw145

KunjuMuhammad identified his

that motor cycle, but denied that he had witnessed the production of the

said

motor cycle by lsmail, father of A18 Fahad before the Deputy Superintendent of
Police. When examined as PW91, lsmail denied that he had produced the motor

cycle

of

his son Fahad before the investigating officer. These two witnesses

were declared hostile and some contradictions were marked as Ext.P162 and
Ext.Pg1 respectively. whatever may be the contention

of pws 9i. and

145

regarding the seizure of that motor cycle by the police, there is evidence of
PW250, the original owner of that motor cycle that he had sold the same to
A18. This evidence of PW250 on this point stands unchallenged.

gny of the investigating officers about the incident alleged to have

been
t

290

occurred on 2.-t.2OIO. This contention seems to be correct. The prosecution has

a case that after the visit of the accused in the house of PW2 on 28.5.2010,
Police Officers went

to his house, gave some phone numbers and asked him to

report in case of any suspicious act from any corner. Even then PW2 did not
take note of the registration number of the motor cycle nor did he inform the
police about the incident. According to PW3, on the way to Bishop's house she

enquired about the reckless driving of PW2. At that time PW2 told her that
somebody was following them. She added that on that day evening at 5 O'clock

a van came in front of their house, stopped there for a few minutes and then

left the place. The allegations of PW2 and PW3 regarding the incident were
very serious. Even then they did not inform the police who had advised them to

intimate police in case of such untoward incident. I do not know why PW2 or
PW3 did not intimate the police about the incident. Further they did not mention

anything about the incident alleged to have been taken place on 2.7.2010 to
any of the investigating officers, Omission to mention that incident amounts to
a material contradiction. Therefore it is liable to be eschewed.

352. Another important point to be noted is that PW2 had no occasion to

see A18 or A37 directly. According to PW2, they were following him on a motor

cycle and he saw them through the rear view mirror. lt is clear from his version

that they followed his car and never made any attempt to over take his vehicle.
It is very difficult to believe that he could identify A18 who was riding the motor
cycle and A37 who was the pillion rider. lf his version that they were following

him is true, there is no chance of seeing A37 who was sitting behind

A1B.

court. Such evidence cannot be accepted without corroboration. There is no

other circumstance to substantiate the contention that A18 and A37 followed
him on a motor cycle, during his journey to Bishop,s house.
353. The argument of the learned Public Prosecutor is that on 2.7.2010,
A18 and A37 were deputed to watch the movements of pw2 and to inform 41
to 47 who were waiting near Muvattupuzha town to execute their plan. To prove

the presence of AL to A7 at Muvattupuzha on 2.7.2Q70, the prosecution

has

examined PW19, the lmam of Anikkad Chirappady mosque and pW21 who is
running a hotel at Anikkad. The prosecution case is that on that day A1 to 47
had attended Juma Namaskar in that mosque and had food from the hotel of
PW21. But these witnesses did not support the prosecution. PW19 stated that
he did not remember as to whether A1 to A7 had attended the Juma Namaskar
on that day. So also PW21 stated that he did not remember the presence of 41

to 47 on that day in his hotel. The prosecution has no case that these accused
were known to PW21 or PW19 prior to the incident. Even if it is assumed that
these accused had attended Juma Namaskar in that mosque on that day or had
food from the hotel of PW19. there is no chance for these witnesses who had no
acquaintance with the accused, to remember their faces. Both these witnesses
were declared hostile to the prosecution.

354. Another allegation against this accused is that he had rectified the

mistakes in the sketch prepared by A11 and handed over the same to A8.
There is absolutely no evidence to prove the said contention. Therefore no
-

further discussion is needed on this ooint.

submitted by him for getting the phone number and it was rnarked as Ext.C59.

He was conducting an agency in

the

name and style 'Team

Telecom'.

According to him, A18 Fahad joined in his office as an employee in May 2010.

During this period he had supplied the above SIM card to Fahad for official
purpose. A18 Fahad left the job some where in the month of July 2010, but he

did not return the SIM card. Therefore he approached the service provider for
getting a duplicate SlM card. The defence did not challenge that Fahad was
working under him as an employee. lt is clear from the versions of this witness

that

A1"8 had worked under him

for a short period. During that period A18 had

obtained that SIM card from him. That fact is proved by prosecution through
PW306. PW271 the Nodal Officer proved the CDR of the mobile phone number

9846003789 issued to Christopher. Ext.P673 is the CDR.

356. Ext.P673

CDR

would show that there were several calls between this

number used by A18 and the phone number of A37. There were four calls
between these two numbers in the night of 1.7.2010. This document would
prove that there were frequent calls between A18 and A37. But the prosecution

could not point out anything unusual regarding these calls made between A18
and A37. Here the prosecution has failed to prove the allegations raised against
A18.

357. lt is pointed out by the learned Public Prosecutor that the phone calls
between A19 and A32 would prove the complicity of the former in the offence.
Ext.P668 the CDR of phone number allotted to A32 would show that in between

name of his father. Ext.P577 and Ext. P57B are the Certificates issued by BSNL,

Ernakulam in the name of Aliyar, father of A1.9. As per these documents the
phone numbers allotted to Aliyar were 9447623404 and 9446334404. At the

time of arrest, PW295 recovered mobile phone (Mo172), two slM cards (Mo173
and 181) from

the

possession of Ai.9 with some other items. so

it could be

inferred that A19 was using the mobile phone number 94476234o4. Ext.p668
CDR would prove the contention that

A19 and A32 had frequent calls. But that

is not sufficient to prove that A19 took part in the conspiracy to attack PW2 or

that he had provided safe hideout to A12 in his building at Vyttila. I cannot
ignore the fact that the said house was not in the absolute possession of A19. lt
was in the joint possession of 4L9 and PW58. The fact that A12 took PW295 to

Vyttila and pointed out the house which was in the joint possession of A19 and
PW58, is

not sufficient to prove that

A12 was harboured in the said house by

419.
358. According to the Prosecution, A12 was earmarked by 428 and 32 as a

dummy accused with a view to conceal the involvement of the assailants and

the conspirators before the investigating officers. I cannot accept the said
contention. The Prosecution has a definite case that A12 had directly involved
in the conspiracy and that he was deputed by A8 and A28 to purchase

MO.2

from PW144. The Prosecution was able to orove the contention that A12 had
purchased MO.2 for the sole purpose of committing the offence. Nobody could

believe that such

conspirators and the actual assailants and about the entire incidents was

359. lt is submitted by the learned Public Prosecutor that A19, who was
deputed by the conspirators to render financial aid to absconding accused went

to Hyderabad and made arrangements for payment of some amount to

one

accused Shanavas (not charge sheeted). PW54 and PW55 denied that they
accompanied A19 to Hyderabad.

lt is true that there is evidence to prove that

A19 was taken into police custody from a train, during his journey from
Hyderabad to Kerala. That evidence is not sufficient to prove that this accused

had rendered any financial assistance to an offender. There is absolutely no

evidence to prove the said allegation against A19.

360. The role of A20 Anas, according to the prosecution is that he took

part in the conspiracy held at Seemas auditorium and then, after the incident
hatched conspiracy with A13 and A28 at his own house and harboured A13 in
his house. Further he had conducted protest march to police station against the

arrest of A9 and A10 with a view to deviate the investigation. PW3B Abdul
Khader who is the father of 420 denied that on 4.7.2010 a meeting of A20 with

A13 and some other accused was held at his house. PW37 Khader also denied

the prosecution case that a meeting of A20 and some other

convened

accused

WAS

at his house. Pws 37 and 38 denied that A13 and A20

had

participated in the protest march and meetings held in connection with the
arrest of A9 and A10. They were declared hostile.
361. PW188 the Sub Inspector of Perumbavoor police station deposed that

a march was conducted by the member of

SDPI/PFI,

some others for participating in the march. certified copy of the FIR was marked

as Ext.P322. Ext.P323 is the report filed by him to add section 353 tpc in the

said crime.

I do not find any reason to disbelieve the

evidence of pwlg8

regarding the participation of A20 in the police station march. But there

is

nothing on record to suggest that the said march was conducted with a view to

deviate the investigation as part of conspiracy. Nowadays conducting protest

march by local leaders against the arrest of party members has become usual
course of practice. lt cannot be treated as part of conspiracy.
362. Admittedly A20 was using mobile number 9744l-3}OO3. The CDR of the
said number was produced by PW279 Ramachandran, the Nodal Officer of ldea

Cellular Ltd. and it was marked as Ext.P693. Ext.C5L is the CAF and C5L(a) is

the lD proof. These documents are not disputed by the accused. From the

CDR

it could be seen that A20 had contacted 41 and AB on one occasion. The call to
A1 was made on 20.6.2010 and the call with A8 was on 24.6.20'J.0. So also it
could

be seen that he had several calls with A5. A7 and A32. But the

prosecution also has no case that he took part in any of the conspiracy except

in the conspiracy meeting held at Seemas auditorium. lt is admitted that this

accused

is a leader of

Panchayat

SDPI. He was elected as

in the election held after the incident.

member

to the Block

cannot rule out the

contention of the learned counsel for the accused that being a local leader of a

leaders and members who were working for the party. The said contention

363. Ext.P135, the pointing out mahazar prepared at the instance of A13,

that a meeting was held in the said house on 4.7.2010.lt is true that there are
some self incriminating statements in Ext.PL35 mahazar, alleged to have been

given by A13. That portion is not admissible in evidence. Court need not reject

the entire document on the ground that a portion in that statement is not
admissible in evidence. Even

if it is assumed that

PW294 was taken to the

it would not prove that a meeting was held in that

house as

alleged by the prosecution. There is absolutely no evidence to prove that A20

had convened a meeting of some of the accused at his house in Vengola Grama
Panchayat on 4.7.2OIO after the hand chopping incident. Here the prosecution
has failed

to prove the charge against A20 that he had convened a meeting

in

his house and conspired about the future plan.

364.

lt is alleged that A2L K.M.Ali and A22 Rasheed took part in the

conspiracy meeting held in the Inspection Bungalow, Muvattupuzha and that

they were deputed to shift the vehicles used for committing the offence and to
destroy the weapons. Also, A21 Ali had participated in the meeting hetd at
Seemas auditorium, Perumbavoor. PW294, the Circle Inspector of Muvattupuzha
has stated about the arrest of these two accused. Ext.P455 is the arrest memo

and Ext.P835 inspection memo prepared by him at the time of arrest of A21.

3.4.2010. A2I

Ali had participated in the meeting herd in the Inspection

Bungarow,

Muvattupuzha. lt is already found that there is no evidence to prove

that some

of the accused disassociated and assembled at a corner of the

Inspection

Bungalow and hatched conspiracy. The prosecution courd not produce

any
other evidence to substantiate the contention against those two accused.

366. lt is admitted that as per Ext.c20 cAF, phone number

was

af

9946855461

lotted to A21. Ext.p669 is the cDR. From the evidence of pw27L and from

Ext.P669,

it could be seen that the accused had contacted A32 and 41 on one

ortwo occasions. He used to contactA4, Ag, AL2, AL3, A24 and A29. But it is
very pertinent to note that the prosecution could not point out any calls
between these numbers on the date of incident or on the other three days
when the assailants went to the house of pW2.

367. Ext.c47 is the original cAF submitted by A22.9544869060 was the

number issued to him. Ext.p700 is the cDR. The cDR would show that he had
calls with 41, 44, A8, A!2, A13 and A24. The evidence of pw279 wourd show

that there was one call each between this number of A22 and the number of Ag

on 17.5.2010 and 28.5.2010. These phone calls

are not sufficient to

substantiate the contention that this accused took part in the conspiracy.
Ext.P192(a) the application form submitted by this accused would prove that he
was a party member. But these facts are not sufficient to prove his invotvement
in the conspiracy.

other link to connect A21 and A22 to prove that they took part in the

accused over phone, court cannot enter into a conclusion that they also took

part in the conspiracy. In short there is no evidence to prove that A21 and A22
took part in the conspiracy and facilitated the commission of the crime.
369. The prosecution case is that A23 Mahinkutty was deputed to destroy

the

gvidence after the attack on PW2 and on the basis of this direction he

participated in the three attempts made viz. on 6.5.2010, 17.5.2010 and

28.5.2010. So also this accused had participated in the police station march

with an intention to deviate the investigation. PW206 and PW209 two police
officials stated that they had witnessed the arrest of this accused by PW294.
Ext.P494 is the arrest memo and Ext.P824 is the inspection memo prepared by
PW294. Ext.PB44 is the report filed by the police to add the names cf A20 and

423.

370. lt is argued that

as part of the conspiracy A22 and A23 travelled

together in an auto rickshaw along with another accused. But PW100 who is an
auto rickshaw driver residing near the house of A23 denied such an incident.
There is no evidence to prove that these two accused conspired along with
another for committing the offence.
371. The attempt of the prosecution was to prove that A23 was using the

mobile phone number issued to one K.M.Samad, S/o Moideen, Muvattupuzha.

The CAF and lD proof filed by the Samad were marked as Exts.C38 series. These

372' The prosecution

Younus

has a case that A24 Muhammadari had helped A8

to recruit men to attack

PW2 and helped the leaders in providing aid to

the family of A12 who was absconding. In addition to this, this accused had
participated in the protest marches conducted on 4.7.2010 and 5.7.2010. He
was arrested by PW294.

373. lt is admitted that this accused is also a member of pFl. Even if this
accused had participated in the protest march, on that ground alone I cannot

enter into a conclusion that he took part in the conspiracy and provided aid to

the assailants. The prosecution could not adduce any evidence that

this

accused had provided financial help to the family members of A12 or any other
accused.

374. Ext.Cl is the original CAF and Ext. C1(a) is the copy of the lD of A24.

These documents were proved through pw24r the Nodal officer

of

MTS.

Ext.P583 is the cDR, found to be in admissible for want of certification under

section 65B of the Evidence Act. Therefore these documents would not help the
prosecution to prove the contacts of this accused.

375. The prosecution has proved that A25 Abdul Latheef took A8 and
another to flat No.7B, Daffodils at rhrlssur and provided safe hide out to those
accused in the said flat. I have already discussed that point. lt is argued by the

learned Public Prosecutor that this accused was using mobile number
9447798692, which was obtained by his father Muhammad. There is absolutely
no evidence to prove the same. Further the cDR of the said number is not seen

produced. The fact that this number of Muhammad was saved in the mobil-e
phones of some accused, as Latheef or Latheef aluva, is rtot sufficient to prove

{r

aI AZ5 Abdul Latheef was using that number. ,

,.it.

376. The allegation against 426 Moideenkutty is that in pursuance of the

conspiray he shifted AB Younus

from

Daffodils flat at Thrissur

to his wife's

house at Edayur and then shifted that accused to the house of one Zakkeer
Hussain (not charge sheeted) in his car bearing No.KL-1"0/M.8044.

lt is already

found that there is no evidence to suggest that A8 was brought to that house of
PW28 by 426.

377. PW22B the Sub Inspector of Police, Valancherry spoke that he, on
26.7.2OI0 found car bearing No.KL-lo/M.8044, in front of the shop of A26 at
Valancherry and brought the same to the police station. On the basis of the
information given by him PW294 came to the police station and shifted the car

to Muvattupuzha. PW206 and PW214 George Joseph, identified their signature

in Ext.P467 seizure mahazar prepared by PW294 from the Valancherry police
station for the seizure of the said car. PW74 Muhammad Sajad was the owner
of car bearing No.KL-10/M.8044. This witness identified Ext.P66 sale agreement
and stated that he had entered into a sale agreement with 426 regarding the
sale of the said car, Recovery of the said sale letter was proved by PW203 and

pw2og, two police officials who had signed in Ext.P457 seizure mahazar.
whereas the evidence of PW259 Subash Babu, Joint RTo, Tirur and Ext.P613,

particulars of the said car would show that the said car was transferred to the
name of Abdul Rahiman with effect from 15.10.2010. whatever may be the
prosecution case with regard to the ownership of car bearing No.KL-10/M.8044,

there is no evidence to show that 426 had shifted A8 to various places in this

car..on a careful analysis of the entire evidence adduced by the prosecution

were from Kerala State. He has specifically stated that he went abroad on
15.5.2009 and returned to this country on 23.11.2010 only. He asserted that he

had no occasion to visit Kerala during 2010. The evidence tendered by this
witness need not be disbelieved. I am satisfied that the evidence tendered by

this independent witness who is hailing from Tamil Nadu that he had

no

occasion to visit Kerala is true.

380. PW177 is the owner of 'Surya photostat', from where SIM cards in the
name of PW168 were sold. This witness identified A27 Shajeer as the person
who had submitted that application form for purchasing SIM card. During 2010

the service providers were selling SIM cards through retailers. He was a dealer
of SIM cards of all the service providers. During that period the procedure for
selling the SIM card was not so strict. On getting the application the dealer has

to intimate the distributer about the number given to the customer. On getting

that intimation the distributor will keep the number alive and pass intimation
through their net work. Then the retailer has to put the SIM card in the mobile
phone provided by the company and to send a service message to a number

'111'. lmmediately the new SIM card will get activated. That was the procedure

for selling SIM cards. The retailer has to record the details of the sale and
activation in the tracker register. This witness stated that as per the direction of

38L. PW178 is an employee under PWL77 in surya Photostat. This witness

identified Ext.P285 and stated that she had seen the original of the said
application form. According to her, on 3.7.2010 at around L2 noon a person,
whom she identified in court as A27 came to the shop for purchasing SIM card
and produced a photo and lD proof of another one. She returned that photo and

lD proof to that person along with the cAF and requested him to fill up the
columns in the CAF and to sign in that application form. A27 returned the same

after putting his signature and asked her to flll up the columns. On the basis of
the information given by A27 she filled up the columns. Thereupon PW177 took
necessary steps to get the connection activated. she identified Ext.P284, copy
of the lD proof submitt ed by

A27 .

When cross examined this witness stated that

she did not see this accused signing the CAF. She stated that after getting the
CAF A27 moved

to aside. Within few minutes he gave it back to her. lt is clear

from her version that the signed CAF was given to her by A27. This witness also
submitted that during that period the retailers were not so strict. She identified

tracker register with regard to the sale of SIM card in the name of Selvaraj and

that entry was marked as Ext.P304(a). This witness also identifled Mo.38 mobile
phone which was used for sending messages to the company for the purpose of

in

the subject matter of this case. They are total strangers to the victim and other
witnesses related to the incident. I do not find any reason for these independent

witnesses to give false evidence against A27.

lt is to be noted that several

independent witnesses examined by the prosecution have turned hostile to the

prosecution, The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the witnesses who
had turned hostile were either influenced or threatened by the accused, their
relatives and party members.

lt is brought out by prosecution through pW1L7

Paulose that he came to the court to give evidence along with an accused and

father of another accused. While appreciating the evidence of independent

witnesses

have

to consider that aspect also. In such situation there is

no

chance for an independent witness to give false evidence against the accused.

Here Pws 777 to 179 have narrated their case in specific terms. The defence
could not challenge the credibility of these witnesses inspite of searching cross
examination. On the other hand the evidence of these two witnesses who are

not in any way connected with the incident, regarding the purchase of a mobile
phone from their shop by A27, inspire confidence.

lt is true that first time

identification in the court is a weak piece of evidence, but it is not a ground to

reject the evidence of independent witnesses who have given evidence in

specific terms. I have already discussed the rulings of the Hon'ble Apex Court
on this point. lt is settled law that in appropriate cases, court may accept th-e

of identification even without insisting on corroboration. (Malkhan

Singh's case (supra)). l.am convinced from the evidence of these two

30s

independent witnesses that A27 had purchased a SIM card of Vodafone by

producing the cAF and lD proof of one selvaraj from their shop

at

Penta

Menaka, Marine Drive, Ernakulam on 3.7.20L0.

383.

PW271"

the Nodal officer of Vodafone identified the cDR of phone

number 9645631249 and that CDR was marked as Ext.P671. Ext.P671(a) and
(b) are the covering letter and the relevant certificate. The original CAF and the
photocopy of the passport submitted by the subscriber for getting that mobile
phone connection were produced by this witness as per summons and that CAF
and the copy of the passport were marked as Exts.C22 and C22(a)'
384. Along with Ext.P671 CDR, PW271 produced the CDR of phone number

9946055745. That connection is also seen issued in the name of PW168. That
CDR was marked as Ext.P672. Exts.P286 and P287 are the copy of the CAF and

lD proof relating to that phone number. PW271 has stated that he could not
produce the original CAF and the copy of the lD produced by the person who

had applied for getting phone number 9946055745, which was allotted in the

name of Selvaraj. He filed an affidavit to that effect. The evidence of this

witness would prove that two mobile numbers were issued in the name of
Selvaraj (PW168). But PW168 when examined, denied the signature in the CAFs

and stated that he did not file any such application. There is nothing to
disbelieve the evidence tendered by this witness. The prosecution was able to

prove that out of the two mobile phone connections issued in the name of
PW168, one connection was obtained by A27.

385. PW271 by referring to Ext.p671 cDR, deposed that on 4.7.20L0 this

number had contacted phone numbers 9746955290, 9744s28638 and

9946055745. The last number was the other phone number allotted in the

name of selvaraj. The calls made between these two numbers issued in the
name of selvaraj would support the prosecution case that those persons who
had obtained those slM cards were known to each other. The contacts between

these two numbers would prove the same. lt is for Az7 to explain these calls
which were made from the slM card purchased by him from the shop of pwl-77
on 3.7.2010. He has no explanation. In Neel Kumar's case (supra) it was held

that the accused has a duty to explain the incriminating

circumstance proved

against him while making a statement under section 313 cr.p.c. lt was further

held that keeping silent and not furnishing any explanation for

sucn

circumstance is an additional link in the chain of circumstance to sustain the

charge against him. In view of the evidence of pw177 and pw17g, A27 cannot

say that he had no connection with that number. The calls made between the

two numbers allotted in the name of selvaraj who was working abroad during
the said period is a strong circumstance against A27. The facts proved by the
prosecution would show that A27 knew the other person who had used the
other mobile number issued in the name of pW168.

386. On 4.7.201,0 there were calls from the phone number 9645631249,
which was proved to be purchased by A27 with phone numbers 9746g55290

and 9744528638. The prosecution could not find out the details of the
bers of those phone numbers, 9746855290 and 9744528638. This fact

307

the location of each tower of the said company' As per Ext.C16, on 4.7.2010 at
6.16 am, the said phone number 964563!249 was within the limits of cell lD

No.11303,

i.e.

Muvattupuzha, Anikkad.

This phone number was

at

Muvattupuzha bus stand location (Cell lD No.L4453) between 6.37 am and 7.21

am. At 7.34 am this phone was at Randaar (Cell lD No.15043). These places
situate very near to the place of incident. A27 who had purchased the phone
number has no explanation as to how the said phone number had been there in

the said places at the relevant time. Whereas the prosecution has got a definite
case that the said phone number was being used by A28 for supervising the

attack on PW2. So also Ext.P672 CDR and the evidence of PW271 would prove

that on 4.7.2OLO, the other phone number issued in the name of

Selvaraj

(9946055745) was also in use at Muvattupuzha. At 6.32am that mobile phone

number was seen located at Muvattupuzha, between 6.44 am and 6.46 am, it
was at Muvattupuzha bus stand location, at 6.55 am it was at Pezhakkappally

location (Cell lD No.10902), at 7.03 am

it was at Muvattupuzha

bus stand

location, at7.23 am it was at South Marady (Cell lD No.12072). at 7.32 am it

was at Randar location and at 7.51 am that phone was at Anikkad location. All

these places are very close to the place of incident.

387. There is evidence to show that on 4.7.2070 both these phone

numbers were found to be in use at Muvattupuzha town. Another important

point is that the activities from these two phone numbers were stopped

on

4.7.201A itself. As per Ext.P671 the last call was at 8:11:23 am and thereafter
was no activity in the phone. Thereafter that SIM card was not used. So
Ext.P672 of phone number 9946055745 would show that the last activity

t{at

phone was at 8:12:'40 am on the same day. Further-Ext.P672

CDR

would show that there were four calls from that phone number 9946055745 to
phone numbers 9744528638 and 9746855290. The data in Ext.P671 also would

show that from the phone number 9645631249 there was one call with
9744528638 and two calls with 9746855290 on 4.7,20L0. In short it could be

seen that on 4.7.2010, both the phone numbers obtained in the name of
Selvaraj were found to be in use at Muvattupuzha and suburbs. Further there
were calls from both these numbers to same phone numbers obtained by using

fake lDs. lt is for A27 to explain the purpose of the phone calls made from
9645637249, the number obtained by him. As pointed out above he has no

explanation. This is another circumstance to support the prosecution case that

these numbers were used by some of the facilitators of the crime.
388. The prosecution has proved that there were several calls between the

phone number 9O37294544, found to be in possession

of

A27 (issued in the

name of Shafeek and seized from A27) and the mobile numbers of A2, 47, A8,
A16, A17, A1.8. A29, A31 and A34. PW272 the Nodal Officer of Tata Tele services

deposed about the calls from that phone number with phone numbers
9946406099 and 9567712600. There is evidence to show that on 2.7.2010

there were two calls between the number seized from Shajeer and phone
number 9567712600. which is in the name of A29 Kasim and on 3.7.2010 there

were three calls in the morning

till 9 am. This accused has no explanation

regarding those calls.

Here the prosecution was able to connect that link against A27. Then
A27

it is for

to explain the circumstances found against him. This accused did not give

any explanation about these factors, but simply denied the prosecution case.

am satisfied that the prosecution was able to connect all the links in the chain

of circumstances against A27 Shajeer. The first and formost is the purchase of
slM card from the shop of PW177 by using the copy of the passport of PW168,
ii) another slM card was purchased on the same day by somebody by using the
copy of the passport of PWI-68, iii) both these slM cards were purchased on the

previous day of incident, iv) on 4.7.2010, at the time of incident both these
phone numbers were found to be at Muvattupuzha and surroundings, v) calls
made between these two numbers issued in the name of PW168 vi) calls from

the two mobile numbers in the name of PW168 to same numbers, within a short
period between 6 am and

am, vii) no activity from both the mobile phone

numbers after the incident, viii) no explanation from A27 and ix) contacts with

other accused whose involvement have been proved particularly the calls with
A29 on 2.7.20LO and 3.7.2010. These facts would prove that these two slM

cards were purchased for the sole purpose of facilitating the crime. These
circumstances pointed out by the prosecution would prove the involvement of
A27 in the conspiracy. In this case lcannot simplify the matters by saying that

,this.acused might have knowledge about the attack and there is no evidence
he took part in the conspiracy. This argument will not sustain. t ari

310

390. Ext. P623 is the copy of the cAF and Ext.p623(a) is the copy of the

lD

produced by A29 for getting Airtel mobile connection. pw264, in reply to the
summons issued to him to produce the original cAF, filed affidavit to the effect

that the original is not available. A29 has disputed the case of

pw264

regarding the purchase of slM card. He stated that he did not have any sucn
mobile phone number. But in Ext. p453 and p754, lists of the Freedom parade
organizing committee members, Aluva, name of Kasim is seen printed along

with number 9567712600, the number allotted to Kasim as per Ext. p623.
Further it could be seen that this number was saved in the name of Kasim in the

mobile phone seized from A2 Jamal and in Mo.107 slM alleged have been used

by

A5.

From this evidence

it is clear that phone number 9567712600

was

allotted to A29 Kasim as per Ext.P623 CAF. Ext.p624 is the CDR.

391. Frequent calls between friends and party members alone is not
sufficient to prove conspiracy. But here the prosecution was able to point out
some suspicious calls from the phone number of A29. pw264 spoke that in

between 25.3.2010 and 3.7.2010 there were 74 calls with phone number
9048686611 (phone number of A28, proved through pW2B8 Sainaba). On
3.7.2010 there were L3 calls between these two numbers, and the last call
between these two numbers was at 22:59:00 hours. A29 had contacts with the

other phone numbers of A28. He has no explanation regarding these calls with

A28, whose photograph (Ext.Pl(b)) was identified by pW1. Further he had

contacts with the phone numbers of A1 to A8. But A29 did not give any
explanation for the calls made on the days very close to the date of inciden{

Thereafter the said phone number was not used. He has no explanation for the
same. I have already found that this accused had made fake number plates for

using in Mo.2 omni van. This fact, coupled with the suspicious calls made by

this accused with the other accused would prove that this accused also took
part in the conspiracy.
392. The allegation against A32 who was the District President of PFI is

that he had published notices, pamphlets etc. and declared the stand of

PFI on

the question paper issue to its members, participated in the conspiracy along
with other accused and being a member of the tenorist gang attended the

conspiracy hatched

at

Muvattupuzha monitored

seemas Auditorium and Inspection Bunglaw,

the events through A8

Younus Aliyar and A28

M.K.Nazar. recruited members for the crime, decided to purchase an omni van

and to provide funds. Further this accused had hatched conspiracy at the house

of PW157 Ansari at Kakkanad and then attended the meeting held at the house

of PW36 Raihanath so as to provide safe hide outs to the accused. These are
the allegations against A32.
393. The prosecution was not able to adduce any evidence to prove that

this accused had recruited members from the cadre to execute the plan to
attack PW2, that he had provided money for making arrangements for the
attack and that he took part in the conspiracy meetings. lt is alleged that this
accused had attended the meeting held at Seemas Auditorium, Perumbavoor

and the lB at Muvattupuzha. There is nothing to doubt about his presence at

?1'

party workers who had attended those meetings disassociated from others and
hatched conspiracy.

394. Pw245, a constabre attached to NrA, Kochi unit spoke about the

attempt made by A32 to commit suicide from the lock up. In connection with
the said incident Pw245 has filed a report in the south police station. on the
basis of the said report PW252 shamsudhin, the sub Inspector of police, Town

South Police station registered a case as crime No.1312/2012. Ext.p5g2 is the

certified copy of the report filed by pw245 and Ext.p6o6 is the certified copy of
the FlR. Pw252 added that he had completed the investigation in the said case

and laid charge against A32 in the court of the Additional chief Judicial
Magistrate (Economic Offences), Ernakulam. pW254, who was working as
Casuality Medical Officer

at

General Hospital, Ernakulam deposed that on

L4.10.2012 she examined Manaf, Valiyaparambil House, palluruthy, who was

brought by the officials of NIA with a history of alleged fall in bathroom and

alleged self inflicted wound with blade. According

to her, Manaf had the

following injuries:Lacerated wound at the junction of anterior 1/3rd and posterior 2l3rd of tongue

5xLx1cms.
Suicidal cuts, both wrists multiole 5 x 0.1 cms.
He was admitted in the hospital. Ext.P608 is the wound certificate. This witness

opined that the injuries could be self inflicted injuries. Any way these matters
are not relevant for consideration in this case.

395. PW303 the Deputy Superintendent of Police, NIA deposed about the
arfqst of A32. According to him, on 4.1-0.2012 he got the custody of A32 Manaf,

'

..'

who had surrenddred before this court. Thereupon he questibrled that accused

313

and recorded his statement. On 20.10.2012 he went to the house of PW157

Ansari
Taluk

at

Kakkanad along with PWL55 Sathyaseelan who is an employee at

office,

Kanayannur as led by A32 and prepared Ext.P895 pointing out

memo from the said house. Thereafter he inspected the house

of

PW36

Raihanath and the house ofA20 Anas as led by A32 and prepared Ext.P890 and

P892 pointing out memos. Even

if it is assumed that PW303

had inspected

those premises as shown by A32, it would not prove that he hatched conspiracy
along with some others from the said premises. As discussed above, there is no
evidence to show that this accused had participated in any of the conspiracy

to have been held before 4.720L0 except the party

conventions held on 28.3.2010 and 3.4.2010. The contention of the
meetings alleged

prosecution that he had attended the conspiracy held at the houses of PW36

and A20 also cannot be accepted as there is no evidence to prove the same.

The fact that his phone number was found at cell lD location No.13841
(Mannam) on 4,7.2010 between 10.47 am and L2.46 pm is also not sufficient to

prove that contention. Even

if it is assumed that he had participated in the

conspiracy meetings held at those houses after the attack on PW2, court cannot

enter into a conclusion that this accused also had an intention to attack PW2 or.

that he was aware of the attack on that witness.

396. The prosecution is relying on the call details of this accused to prove

his involvement in the conspiracy. The CDR of phone number 9846722220

issued in the name of A32 was produced along with the copy of the CAF and the

That documeni

*"t

marked as Ext.P668. PW274, the Alternate Nodal

31.4

the said number was deactivated from the system on 12.12.201'0. He deposeo

that after one year from the date of deactivation the details will be removeo
from the archives. He spoke that the original application and the documents will
be kept for a period of one year only. All those documents will be removed after

one year from the date of deactivation. A32 has denied the phone number
issued in his name. lt is true that the photo of the applicant in the copy of the
CAF has no resemblance with the photo in the copy of the driving licence which

was given as lD proof. But the address of this accused fumished by the
prosecution and in the CAF are one and the same. The accused has no dispute

with regard to the address furnished by the prosecution in the final report.

So

also, copy of the driving licence of A32 is seen produced along with the said
CAF.

lt is true that the address given in the driving licence is different. pW156

Nadira who is the wife of this accused has admitted that a criminal case

rs

pending against herself and this accused in the Palluruthy police station in
connection with the purchase of a SIM card in the name of another person. From

the CAF and the copy of the lD proof submitted in the company for getting
mobile phone connection I can very well find that the copy of the lD submitted
along with the CAF was that of A32. As per this application the above number
9846722220 was allotted to him.

Secretary, Ernakulam. Ext.P777 is the list of district leaders of PFI seized from

the house of Moitheen Kunju (not charge sheeted) by PW291 as per Ext.P549
search list (certified copy). PW291 stated that the original search list has been

produced in another court. From the house of Moideen Kunju he had recovered

the seals of SDPI (MO.190 series), three file folders (MO.191 series), application
forms (Exts.PlBQ series to Ext.P269 series), a diary, some publications and file

folders which were marked as Exts.P773 to P779. In Exts.P718 and P778, the

listsof the district leaders of PFl, A32 Manaf was shown as the President of
Ernakulam district and one K.M.Sidheeque and K.A.Mansoor were shown as the
Secretaries. ln those lists the phone number of A32 is shown as 9846722220.ln

addition to this, this phone number is shown in Ext.P202(a), the application

submitted by him for getting membership in the party. There is no dispute with

regard

to the genuineness of

Ext.P202(a) application

for getting party

membership. These documents are admitted by PW154 Shalikar Muhammad Ali

who was the President of SDPI, Muvattupuzha Mandalam. This document is not
seen challenged by the accused. He was not cross examined by the Oetenc-e

with regard to the genuineness of these documents. These dpcuments seized

from the house of the then Secretary of PFI and from the house of Moideen

316

Kunju would prove that

A32

Manaf was using mobile phone number

9846722220, the number allotted by Vodafone as per the application submitted

by that accused.

398. Ext.P668, the cDR would show that on 28.3.2010 this mobile phone
number was found in use at cell lD No.14191- Perumbavoor Pathipalam location.
The attempt of the prosecution was to prove that he had attended the meeting

held on 28.3.201,0 at seemas Auditorium, perumbavoor. There is no dispute

with regard to this fact that A32 had attended the meeting. According to the
prosecution, he was the then District president

of pFl. lt was brought out

through PWL54 and PW32 the Manager of Seemas Auditorium that the hall was
booked even prior to the question paper issue. lt is already found that there is

no evidence to suggest that this accused or any other accused

had

disassociated from the other members who had gathered there, sat together
and hatched conspiracy. The fact that A32 had attended the said meeting would

not help the prosecution to prove that he had participated in the conspiracy.
Ext.P668 would prove that this accused was at Kakkanad location on 3.7.2010

between 5.05 pm and 7.49 pm. But there is no evidence to show that

conspiracy was hatched at the house of PW157 as alleged.

399. Ext.P668 would show that A32, during the period between 23.5.201"0

and

30.8.2010 had contacted A8 on several occasions. After 3.7.2010 there

had been no incoming or outgoing call to the number of A32 from

getting that connection. The photograph of A28 is seen affixed in Ext.C18.

Ext.C18(a) is the copy of the lD card issued by the Election Commission of India

to A28. PW288 Sainaba identified the photograph of A28 Nazar who is the son

in law, in Ext.C17. Ext.P665 is the

CDR

of mobile phone number 9745003256

and Ext.P666 is the CDR of phone number 9048686611 issued in the name of
M.K.Nazar. Ext.P667 is the CDR of phone number 9846182913, issued in the

name of PW288 Sainaba who has stated that she had never used a mobile

phone. Ext.P666 would show that there were five calls between A32 and
M.K.Nasar. The prosecution has got a definite case that A8, A12, A32 and A28

(absconding) had decided to purchase a vehicle for the purpose of committing

the offence and deputed A12 for that purpose. Though there were five calls
between A32 and A28 on 14.6.2010, there is nothing to suggest that A28 had
contacted A8 or A12 on that particular day. The definite case of the prosecution
is that A28 is an active member of PFl. There may be some calls between A32

and A28. The learned Public Prosecutor has pointed out that on 4.7.2010, the
date of incident there were several calls from the mobile numbers used by A28

to other accused who are involved in the crime. But he could not point out any
call to the number of A32 Manaf from the mobile phone numbers of A28. PW27I
has stated that the last call between A32 and the phone number 9048686611

of A28 was on 30.6.2010. Thereafter there were no calls between those two

"

numbers.'The prosecution could not point out any call between A32 and A28
, just before t$e incident or on the previous day. From the evidence of PW27l-

it

ii,

cont?cts with A1, A3 and 46 also. But the last ca*l

318

between A32 and A1 was on 26.5.2010. The last call between A32 and A3 was

on 21.6.2010. The Learned Public Prosecutor could point out only one

call

between A32 and 46, that was on 16.6.2010. From these phone calls I cannor
say that A32 had conspired with A28 or any other accused.

lt is true that there

were calls between A32 and A8 upto 3.7.2010. lt cannot be said that those calls

made between the District President and Muvattupuzha Mandalam president

were unusual. The calls noted in Ext.P666 are not sufficient to prove the
involvement of this accused in the conspiracy. I cannot ignore the fact that the

prosecution did not allege any participative act against this accused in
connection with or in pursuance of the conspiracy. The mere fact that this
accused had denied his phone number is not a ground

to draw an adverse

inference against him. In Gilani's case (supra) the Apex Court, while discussing

a similar point held that though the conduct of the accused was not above
board, the court cannot condemn him in the absence of sufficient evidence
pointing unmistakably to his guilt. Therefore, even if it is assumed that some of

the accused contacted each other, immediately after the incident it cannot be

said that the latter was aware of the entire conspiracy.

lf a person after

committing an offence contacts another and making request to do some favour,

it cannot be said that the latter was aware about the offence committed

and

that it was committed with the concurrence of the latter.

400. The defence has a specific contention that this accused was in constant

touch with the party members and the other office bearers of the said party.
A-c.gording

to the learned counsel for the accused there is nothing unusual ii

those calls. His definite case is that the prosecution has deliberately suppressed
"uid "nou'

to make

it

appear that thi.s accused started. to contact the other

319

accused and conspirators only after the question paper issue. According to him,

with that intention to suppress evidence, the prosecution had obtained the CDR

from 25.3.2010 only. lf the CDR of the previous period is produced, it would
show that this accused had been in frequent touch with the other accused.

cannot reject this contention in toto. Ext.P668 would show frequent calls not
only with the accused but also with several others.

401. Ext.P668 the CDR would show that A32 had several calls with some
witnesses and some of the accused who are not charge sheeted. Prosecution
has no case that the calls between this accused and the witnesses were made

as part of conspiracy. 5o also the calls between A32 and the accused who are

not charge sheeted cannot be said to be made as part of

conspiracy.

Prosecution could not so far collect evidence against those accused. As the
President of the district committee of PFI A32, had to contact with the members

all over the district frequently. lt is not unusual. Therefore the calls made by A32

with the party members including the accused herein cannot be taken as a
circumstance against this accused to prove the charge of conspiracy.
402. According to the prosecution, after the incident A32 went absconding
and that itself can be taken as a link to connect the circumstances against this

accused with the conspiracy. PW159 and PWl.60, who were residing near the
house of A32 identified the accused and stated that after the hand chopping

incident they did not see him in the said house. They added that after that
incident, the family members of Manaf had shifted from the said house. PW167
Badarudheen who is working in

restaurant at Tirur identified A32 Manaf anl

ad and stated that he had occasion to see these two.accused from

'Qimbis'Cool Bar, ,Iirur. The evidence of these two witnesses i9 not sufficient to

320

suggest that he was absconding.

lt is clear

from the versions of pW159 and

PWL60 that the family of A32 has been shifted from that place. So also the fact

that a witness had occasion to see an accused at a distant place on one or two
occasions, is not sufficient to prove that the accused was absconding.
403. The circumstances pointed out by the prosecution against A32 were i)

his phone calls with the other accused, ii) he was absconding and iii) he, being

the President of

PFI was behind

the entire conspiracy. I have already found that

the phone calls of this accused would not help the prosecution. So also there
nothing to prove that he was absconding. Even if

is

it is assumed that he was

absconding, it cannot be reckoned as a link in the circumstances.

404. Another contention put forward by the prosecution is that this

accused was the person behind the publication of pamphlets and notices with a

public call to Muslim youth to raise to the occasion and to build forts of defence

to protect their lslamic belief. According to the learned Public Prosecutor these
publications would prove the motive of the accused who was the District
President of PFl. The pamphlets and notices circulated by PFI would show that

organization was very much aggrieved by the act of PW2. They conducted

protest march and convened meetings to protest against the act of PW2. In
Ext.P718 andP777 pamphlets Mansoor K (accused not charge sheeted) and one

Siddique were shown as District Secretaries of PFl. The prosecution has no case

that Siddique, one of the District Secretaries had involved in the crime. The
prosecution could not collect any evidence against the other Secretary Mansoor.

i
I

It is still
investigation stage. Almost all the accused were in frequent touc'h
..i.in.
.\
'-.--a'
.
i\
with Mansoo'f. Merely because of the reason that PFI had published pamphlets
, il,l

and noticei.'lit cannot.be..said that A32 who was the District Pfesident was
,' .
',|

32L

behind the entire incident. Publication of pamphlets and notices by PFI cannot
be treated as a link to connect A32, the then President of PFI with the incident

since there is no other evidence

to prove the role of this accused in the

conspiracy.

405. At this juncture the allegations levelled by the prosecution against the
PFI is also

to be considered. lt is true that several pamphlets and publications

have been seized from the house of some accused. All these publications are

seen made to propagate that the Muslims are facing challenges from other
religions. The Prosecution mainly relies on Ext.Pl2l (Ext.P758) and Ext.P795,

leaflets issued by

PFI

fixing the liability of ridiculing the Prophet on the church

and the Christian leadership. These leaflets were published to protest against

the question paper issue. Ext.P721 pamphlet would show that

PFI

took it as an

attack on Muslim community and they made an appeal to wreck vengeance on

PW2 who made derogatory reference on Prophet.

lt is very pertinent to

note

that the prosecution could not collect any evidence against Mansoor, the
Secretary

of

PFI Ernakulam District Committee. They have not raised any

allegations against Siddique, the other Secretary of District Committee. At the

same time we cannot ignore the fact that all the accused whose complicity
have been proved are active workers of PFl. The prosecution has a definite case

that AB Younus Aliyar was the Muvattupuzha Division Convener of PFl. One
thing is clear that some of the leaders were in constant touch with the accused
whose involvement have been proved, but there is no evidence to accept the
contention of the prosecution that the entire attack was planned and eiecutei

with the.consent of the entire leadership of that organization.

It is alpady found that A34.Anwar Sadique had harpoured A8 Younus

;.

Aliyar in the house of PW43 Afsath. The prosecution has a case that A34, as

member of the terrorist gang participated in the conspiracy to cause the death

of PW2. Ext.C21 is the original

CAF submitted by A34

for getting mobile phone

connection and Ext.C21 (a) is the copy of the lD submitted by him along with

that application. These documents were produced and marked through PW274,
the Alternate Nodal Officer of Vodafone. As per this application phone number
9946406099 was allotted to A34. This accused, at the time of questioning under
Section 313 of Cr.P.C. has admitted the said phone number.
407. The CDR of that phone number was produced by PW271 and marked

as Ext.P670.

lt is elicited from this witness that A34 had contacted A14 on

25.6.2010, contacted A10 on 21,.6.2010 and contacted A29 on 11.6.2010. He

deposed that there were two calls between A34 and phone number
9746026660 (admitted phone number of A15) on 4.7.2010, one at 10.35 am
and the other at 10.39 am. On 4.7.2010 at 4.50 am there was

an

incoming call

from mobile number 9846182913, (the phone number of Sainaba, mother

in

law of A28) to the phone number of A34. lt is brought out through PW271 that

there were some calls between A34 and phone number 9048686611 (phone
number of A28) on 2.7.20'J.0 and 3.7.2010.
408. According to A34, it was the mobile phone number used in his house

by his family members including his mother and wife. But there is no evidence

to

substantiate the said contention.

lt

cannot be believed that his family

members had frequent calls with the admitted numbers of A10, A14, Al-7 and

is nothing to substantiate the contention of this accused that this

cn was obtained by A34 was used by his mother and other family

that is;rot sufficient to prove that this accused ha{''participated

323

in the conspiracy. lt is to be noted that A34 has explained his phone calls with

A15.

Merely because of the reason that A28 had contacted this accuseo on

2.7.2010,3.7.2010 and in the early morning of 4.7.201,0, lcannot say that

these calls were made as part of conspiracy to commit terrorist act. In Gilani's

case the Hon'ble Supreme Court has made

it clear that

suspicion however

strong cannot take the place of legal proof. He has explanations for the phone
calls with A15. Even if it is assumed that he had some calls with other accused,

it will not be sufficient to fasten this accused with the liability of criminal
conspiracy.

409. The allegation of the prosecution is that after the incident A19 and

A31 (absconding) shifted A1 and A5 in a black Indica car bearing No.KL-09/R.

7541 which belonged to PW170 Sanooja and then shifted them to a Lancer car
bearing No.KL-07/AH.151"5 and took them to the house of 416 at Aluva. pW170
Sanooja, wife of A34 Anwar Sadique, has admitted that she was the owner of

the Indica car. PWLTL Joint RTO, Aluva identified the signature of his
predecessor in office, Shri.K.T.Ravindran in the RC particulars of vehicle
No.KL-09/R.7541

and

it

was marked as Ext.P296. The said registration

particulars would show that Sanooja was the owner of the said car. Further
PWL70, in reply to the notice issued under Section 43F of the UA(p) Act by the

investigating officer to furnish the details of car bearing Regn.No.KL-09/R.7541

has admitted that she was the registered owner of the said car. Ext.p2g9 is the

copy of the notice served on her by the NIA under Section 43F of the Act and
Ext.P290 is the reply submitted by her. In Ext.P290 this witness has admittel

324

denied that she sold the vehicle to one Badar Dareez. She was declared hostile

to the prosecution. A34 did not send any reply to the notice issued under
Section 43F of the UA(P) Act nor did he produce the vehicle.

410. PW256 Badar Dareez deposed that he had purchased indica car
bearing No.KL-09/R.754L from a dealer of used cars at Morayur in Malappuram
District. The original registration certificate was produced by PW303 along with

the documents obtained from the RT Office,

Malappuram. The original

registration certificate, the receipt for remitting the fee for the transfer of the

vehicle, Form No.29 with carbon copy and Form No.30 were marked

as

Ext.P296, P786, P610 series and P611- respectively. Ext.P785 is the copy of the
Aadhar card of Badar Dareez. These documents would prove that the ownership

of vehicle No.KL-09/R.7541 was transferred in the name of PW256 with effect

from 7.11.2013.

411. PW303 Abdul Khader, Deputy Superintendent of Police, NIA deposed

that on LL.2OL4, P256 Badar Dareez produced the said car before him, as per

the notice issued by him. He took the vehicle in to custody as per Ext.P783
mahazar and got the vehicle examined by PW292, the Scientific Assistant.
PW292 Mary Sherin who

is working as Scientific Assistant, District

Records Bureau. Kochi deposed that on 9.1.2014, as per

Crime

the requisition of the

investigating officer she collected samples from the seat and from the ceiling in

the cabin of the car and put it in four packets and handed over the same to the
investigating officer who took those packets into custody as per Ext.P782
mahazar. This witness also identified MO.37 car and stated that she too-k

' " samples from the said car.

4I2.

PW230 Dr.Thomas Alexander, when recalled aq per order in Crl.M.P.

t:
t

325

2OO]2O]4 stated that he had examined the materials received on 25.1.2014 in

four sealed packets, containing cotton gauze with light brown stains. Those
items were subjected to benzidine test. Blood was detected on item Nos.1 to

3.

Ext.P781 is the report filed by him. Ext.P78L (a) is the covering letter sent by
Director to the court along with his report. The remnants of cotton gauze in the

four packets were identified as MO.192 to MO.195.

4l_3. From the evidence of PW230 it is clear that blood stains were detected

in the

samples taken from vehicle No.KL-09/R.7541

by PW292. lt is

the

prosecution case that A31 took the injured accused No.L and 5 in the said car to

the house of 416 for providing treatment and during that journey to the house
of 416 that blood stains happened to be in the seat and other parts of the car.

It is very difficult to believe that

PW292 was able

to collect that blood stains

from the car after about three and a half years. lt is very pertinent to note that

pw23o did not mention anything about the age of the dried blood stains
examined by him. Even if

it

is assumed that dried blood stains were found in

the said car by PW3o3 at the time of seizure of the said car, it is for

PW256

Badar Dareez to explain the same. lt is very pertinent to note that prosecution

did not get any explanation from PW256 how the blood stains happened to

be

there. There is no evdience to show that those dried blood stains were there in

the car even at the time of the purchase of the car by PW256' The best person

to say about the same was PW256. But the prosecution did not put any such
question to this witness with regard to the origin of the blood stains found in the
car. As stated above l find it difficult to believe that the blood stains taken from
were

not

help

proye
t

used for transporting the injured accused No.L and 5 by A1-9 or A31. Further

there is no evidence to show that A34 Anwar sadique had provided vehicle to
A31 to take A1 and 45 to the house of A16 and thereby attempted to cause
disappearance of evidence.

414. The prosecution was able to prove that A34 had provided safe hide

out to A8. But there is absolutely no evidence to show that A34 had previous
knowledge about the attack on PW2. There is nothing to show that A34 had
contacts with any of the other accused except A10, A14 and A17. Those calls

with A10, A14 and A17 were made before 8.6.2010 as part of conspiracy. The

fact that this accused had contacted A28 on 2.7.2OIO and 3.7.2010 is not
sufficient to prove that he took part in the conspiracy to attack pW2. On the
other hand there is evidence to prove that this accused had harboured A8 in the
house of PW43.

415. Apart from the charge that A35 had harboured A2, 43 and A5 in

rented house

at

Nettoor,

it is alleged that this accused took part in the

conspiracy to attack PW2. To prove the said contention the prosecution relies on

the CDR of this accused. PW276 Anil, Nodal Officer, Reliance produced the
original CAF submitted by A35 Niyas in his company and that CAF was marked

as Ext.CL3. The CDR of that phone number was marked through PW268

as

Ext.P637. PW268 spoke that there were several calls from this number to
mobile number 9846722220 (the number of A32) and that the last call between
those two numbers was on 1.7.2070 at 17:24 hours. Further there were several

calls between his number and phone number 9288853217. According to the
.,i '.
on, it was the number of his brother Riyas (A36). Ext.C35 ahd C35(a)
AF and the 6opy of the lD proof submitted by 436 Riyag
PW273, the
'i

'i

327

Nodal Officer of Tata Tele Services proved these two documents. As per this

cAF, phone number 9288853217 was allotted to Riyas. Prosecution could not
produce the CDR of this number. I cannot say that the calls made between the

brothers are unusual and made for hatching conspiracy.

have already

discussed these facts in one of the above paragraphs. On going through the call

details of A35, I could find that this accused had no contact except A32 and

436. Even if it is assumed that A32 had instructed A35 to provide hide out for
the assailants, there is no evidence to show that this accused was aware of the
conspiracy hatched by the other accused. The prosecution has no allegation
that 436 took part in the conspiracy.
416. The allegation against A37 Noushad is that in pursuance of the
conspiracy he helped 411 to prepare the sketch of the.locality where PW2 was
residing, followed PW2 on his way

to

Bishop's house and participated in the

conspiracy meeting held at the house of PW157 Ansari at Kakkanad and acted

as the captain of the pilot team on 4.7.2010.

lt is already found that the

evidence adduced by the prosecution regarding the alleged incident dated

2.7.20L0, is not acceptable. So also there is no evidence to prove that this
accused had acted as the captain of the pilot team on 4.7.2070. The other

allegation is that he took part in the conspiracy held at house of PW157. The
CDR of phone number 9846007283 along with the copy of the CAF, copy of lD

proof and verification form were produced and marked through PW268,

Raja

Raja Varma, Nodal Officer of Reliance Communications. That CDR which was

Ext.P635 would show

that he had contacted phone

number

3.6.201.0 and contacted ohone number 9447798692 on several

calfs with phone number of A8, A15, A28, 43? and somg

other accused who were not charge sheeted. Further the prosecution

has

brought out through PW26B that there was no activity in his phone on 2J .2olo
between 0607:21 hours and 19:23:55 hours. On going through the CDR for the
period between 25.3.2010 and 23.7.2010 it could be seen that this accused had
several calls with several persons, including some of the accused. Admittedly
he is an active member of PFl. There is every chance for the party members to

contact each other. There is nothing suspicious in those calls. The prosecution
could not pin point a particular call to suggest that he hatched conspiracy with

the other accused over phone. Merely because of the reason that some calls
have been made between this accused and some other accused in this case.

cannot presume that he also participated in the conspiracy.

4L7. Another point raised by the prosecution is that A37 was absconding
and he was staying in a hide out at

rirur

in another name "Faisal". According to

the prosecution, PW151 Ameer @ Manikkam, at the request of accused Zakkeer

Hussain (not charge sheeted) provided job and accommodation to A37 in his

tailoring machine repairing unit. Admittedly pwi-51 Juki Ameer was running a
repairing unit in a building owned by Maunathul lslam sabha. This witness
denied that he had provided job and accommodation to A37. He identified his

visiting

card

which was marked as Ext.P168. PW22l- Nehru @ Antony has

admitted that he is running a tea shop in the building owned by the same
Sabha, adjacent to the tailoring machine repairing unit of pW151. This witness

stated that police had brought an accused to the tailoring machine repairing
unit for the purpose of investigation. He identified the said person as A37 anl

e had seen A37 in the room of PW151 on several occasions.

He

the said roogn in the name Faisal..PWl63 who is working

ng as LD

Clerk in the Revenue Divisional Office, Tirur stated that on 31.10.2012 he went

to the offce of the

DySP, Tirur as directed by

the RDO and met PW303 from the

said office. A37 was also present in that office. On the basis of the statement
given by A37 they proceeded to a house near Chitrasagar theatre at Tirur, from
where A37 showed a house to PW303. Thereupon A37 took a key, which was
kept on the wall of the bathroom and opened the door. From the said building
PW303 recovered one bag and two plastic kits containing mobile phones, SIM

card pouch, driving licence, CD, prescription, discharge certificate, discharge

card, certificates

etc.

PW303 seized those items as shown by A37 as per

Ext.P271 mahazar. This witness identified MOs 28 to 34 and Exts.P272 to P278.

the articles seized by PW303 from that building.

418. PW166 is the Administrative Officer of MES Hospital, Perinthalmanna.
This witness identified the inpatient records maintained in the hospital and it
was marked as Ext.P283. Ext.P282 is the seizure mahazar. According to him. it
is the case file of one Faisal, 'Alfa', Chitrasagar, Tirur. In Ext.P283(b) the consent

letter signed by the patient, his father's name is noted as Beeran. According to
him, that patient was admitted in the hospital on 30.12.2011 and discharged on

3.'J..20I2. PW257 who was working as a postgraduate doctor in that hospital

identified Ext.P283 mahazar prepared by him and stated that the patient was
under the treatment of Dr.Muhmmedali.

419. Ext.P168

is the visiting card of PW151, seized from the possession of

A37 at the time of his arrest. This is one of the circumstances to prove the
connection of this accused with PW151 who was running a repairing unit at

out in evidence through PW166 that A37 was admitted in

MES Medical College

Hospital, Perinthalmanna in the name Faisal. PW182, the Village Officer, Aroor in
Ernakulam district stated

officer

to

that

as per the requisition given by the investigating

enquire about one Faisal, S/o Beeran, Puthenveedu, Aroor, he

conducted enquiry and found that there was no such person or address in the
said village. Ext.P308 is the certificate issued by

able

him.

Here the prosecution was

to prove that A37 was staying in the room occupied by PW151 in a

fictitious name Faisal. I am satisfied that A37 was absconding and staying at
Tirur in a fictitious name.

420. Now the question is whether that evidence is sufficient to prove that
this accused also took part in the conspiracy

or

involved in the attack on PW2.

It is already found that the evidence adduced by the

accused had followed Pws 2 and 3 on their way

prosecution that this

to Bishop's

House is not

believable. The prosecution could not point out any suspicious call between this

accused and the conspirators. So also there is no evidence to prove that this
accused had attended the conspiracy meeting alleged to have been held at the
house of PW157 Ansari. Ext.P635 CDR would show that at 4.41 pm his phone

was found at Marthanda Varma Bridge, Aluva. At 20.16 pm that phone was

located at Ambattukavu. Thereafter from 9.36 pm

it

was found

at

Edathala.

Nobody has a case that these places situate near Kakkanad, where the meeting

,*:i.rpasi[eld. Similarly the fact that this accused had pointed out a place near the

331

cannot be held that this accused, as a member of the pilot team, remained near

to the Village office, Marady and informed the others about the movements of
police. The evidence adduced by the prosecution regarding the pointing out
mahazar is a weak link in the chain of circumstances. I cannot enter into a
conclusion against the accused on the sole basis of the fact that after the

incident he was absconding. The learned counsel for the accused submitted

that after the incident the police was behind the

PFI members and

it might

be

the reason for keeping away from their residences. According to him, the court
should consider those facts also. I cannot rule out the said contention raised by

the learned Public Prosecutor. There is no other link to enter into a conclusion
that this accused also took part in the conspiracy.
421. On an appreciation of the entire evidence I find that Call Data of
A10, A1L, A13, A15 to A17, A20 to A22, 424, 432, 434, A35 and A37 are not
sufficient

to

prove that these accused also took part in the conspiracy with the

other accused whose involvement in the crime have been proved. On the basis

of the telephone calls made between these accused and the other accused,

cannot enter into a conclusion that they were aware of the attack and they also

took part in the conspiracy. There had been several calls between some of
these accused and some other accused whose involvement in the overt act has
been proved. But there is no iota of evidence against these accused about their

participation in the conspiracy. Each phone call cannot be treated as a link in

the chain of events against that accused and enter into a finding that the

and staying in nearby places. The calls made between such persons cannot'be

termed as unusual. court cannot take each call as a link against that accused
and convict them for offence under Section 120 B of lpC.
422. Pws 297, 299, 300 and 301 who had issued Exts.pB75, gB1, 882 and

876 and 877 orders have stated that they had issued the sanction orders after
verifying the case records submitted by the investigating agency. I am satisfied

that these officials had issued those certificates after considering the entire
facts and the materials and applying their mind. I could not find any infirmity in
the sanction order issued by these officers.

423.Io recapitulate, lfind that the prosecution was able to prove that

42, A3, A5 to A9, A12, A27 and A29 took part in the conspiracy along with
others to attack PW2 and to commit murder. In pursuance of the conspiracy A2,
A3 and A5 to 47 along with two others attacked PW2, chopped off his right hand

and caused simple as well as grievous injuries to him. 46, in pursuance of the
conspiracy and with an intention to terrorise public used explosive substances.
Thus they committed terrorist act. A8, who had visited the house of pW2 on

17.5.2010 made arrangements through A12 to purchase MO.2 omni van for

committing the crime.

lt is proved that A2, A3 and A5 to A7 and two others

came to the spot to attack PW2 in MO.2, which was purchased by A12 from
PWl44. That vehicle was seized from the possession of A9 by the Sub lnspector
of Perumbavoor within two hours after the incident. Further it is proved that A29
as part of the conspiracy made fake number plates. The prosecution has proved

333

inside the digit '0' contained in item no.3(f) is the part of corresponding digit
contained in MO.3 number plate. The SIM card purchased by A27 in the name of
PW168 Selvaraj, was found

to be used by the facilitators of the crime near the

place of incident. In view of the entire evidence I am satisfied that A8, A9, A12,

A27 and A29 conspired with 42, A3 and A5 to A7 and two others to commit

terrorist act with an intention to cause the death of PW2 by inflicting grievous
injuries, and to promote disharmony among the members of different religions
and thus abetted the commission of the offence,

424. Another allegation of the prosecution is that the accused, being

members of terrorist gang which is involved in terrorist act have committed

offence under Sections 18 and 20 of the UA(P) Act. Section 2(l) defines
"terrorist gang". lt means any association other than the terrorist organization
whether systematic or otherwise which is concemed with or involved in terrorist
act. In view of the discussions made in the above paragraphs, I find that A2, A3,
A5 to 47 and two others associated with an intention to commit terrorist act.

hatched conspiracy and committed that offence. A8, A9, A1-2, A27 and A29
took part in the conspiracy, associated with the terrorist gang and abetted the
commission of the terrorist act. These points are found accordingly.

425. Point No.17:- lt is alleged that A8, A29 and A32, to execute their
plan recruited persons and formed a terrorist gang. The prosecution was able to

prove that AB and A29 took part in the conspiracy

to attack pW2.

For that

purpose they made all arrangements with the help of A9, A12, A27 and some

ut there is no evidence to prove that A8, A29 and A32 had recruited

334

short there is absolutely no evidence to show that Ag, A29 and A32 recruited

members of

PFI

for the preparation, piloting, harbouring, financing etc. This

point is found accordingly.

426. Point No.2O:- In view of the above discussions I find that the
prosecution has proved beyond all reasonable doubt that A2, A3, A5 to A7, Ag,
A9, A12, A27 and A29, along with some others, out of enmity towards pW2 prof.

T. J. Joseph who prepared a question paper for the internal examination of

B.com. Degree students ridiculing Prophet Muhammad, entered into a criminal
conspiracy to cause the death of PW2 by inflicting grievous injuries and A2, A3

and A5 to A7 along with two others, with that common object, formed
themselves into an unlawful assembly, came to Hostelpady junction in Maruthi
omni van (MO.2) with fake number plates bearing No.KL.O7.AD.72OL driven by

A7 Pareed, stopped the vehicle abruptly in front of the WagonR car of

pW2

which was proceeding from the side of the Nirmala Matha church and thereby
wrongfully restrained Pws 2, 3 and their mother who were in the car. A2, A3, 45
and A6 got down from the omni van with the other two persons and smashed

the window panes on the right and left front side with weapons and caused
damage to the said car to the tune of <8,000/-. PW2 was taken out of the car

and dragged to the backside from where A2 inflicted grievous injuries to pW2
with chopper. PW2 was forcibly laid on the road and the right hand of pW2 was
chopped off with hatchet. Due to the attack PW2 had sustained simple as well
injuries. When PW4 Mithun made attempt to attack the assailant
:.1

ng off the right hand of PW2, A5 Shamsudhin and 46 Shanavas

lifted and pushed him towards the school ground and thereby
injuries to PW4. In the course of thre attack, when PW3 Sr. Marie

Stella got down from the car with an intention to interfere and to prevent the

attack on PW2, 45 Shamsudhin caught her neck, pressed her towards the side
wall and caused simple hurt to her. When PW1 rushed towards her husband, 46

hurled a bomb and caused explosion. A2, 43 and A5 to A7 thereby committed

terrorist act on the ground of religious faith and promoted disharmony among
the members of different religions. Thus A2, 43, A5 and 46 committed offences
under Section

rlw

'J.49

s L43, 147, ir48, 34|., 427, 323,324, 326,506(ii), 307 and 153A

of lPC. A7, being member of the unlawful assembly has committed

offences under Sections 143, 147, 341, 427,323,324,326,506(ii), 307 and

L53A r/w 149

of lPC. A6, in addition to the

aforementioned offences has

committed offence under Section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act. A2, 43, 45
and A7 have committed offence under Section 3 of the Explosive Substances
Act r/w Section 1208 of lPC. Also, these accused (A2, A3 and A5 to A7) have
committed offences under Sections 15 r/w L6, Sections

L8 and 20 of the UA(P)

Act.

427. The prosecution could not obtain sanction from the concerned
authority

for

prosecution of A29 Kasim for offences under Sections 18 and 188

of the UA(P) Act. Inadvertently this fact was not noted at the time of framing
charge. Both sides omitted to bring that fact to the notice of the court. Since

the trial has been completed and A29 has faced the trial, he cannot

be

discharged under Section 227 ol Cr.P.C. of the offences under Sections 18 and
188 of the UA(P) Act. He shall

be acquitted of offences under

Sections 1"8 and

188 of the UA(P) Act for want of sanction under Section 45 of the UA(P) Act.
A8, A9, A12 and 427 who hatched conspiracy with 42, A3. A5, to A7

othe6 are liable to be convicted under Sections ]20B r/w 153A, 326

and 307 of lPC, Section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act, Sections 18 and 20

under Section 201 of lPC. A29 who hatched conspiracy with A2, 43, A5 to 47
and abetted the commission of a terrorist act shall be convicted under sections

Heard the convicts. their counsel and the leamed public prosecuror

on the question of sentence. They were allowed to consult their counsel. They

highlighted their family problems and their commitments and requested to

show maximum leniency while awarding the sentence. They requested to send
them to Central Prison, Kannur.

439. The learned Public Prosecutor submitted that the accused who have

no feeling of remorse is not entiHed to get any leniency. He argued for

maximum punishment and consecutive sentence. Whereas the learned counsel
for the accused submitted that this case cannot be equated with the Parliament

attack or Mumbai Blast case. He requested to show maximum leniency towards

the convicts who have no criminal background and added that when an
accused

is convicted in one case under different counts of offences and

sentenced to different terms of imprisonment under each such count, all such

V.

State of U.P. (2010 KHC 7354), the Hon'ble Supreme

Court held as follows:-

"

The general policy which the courts have followed with regard to

sentencing is

that the punishment must be appropriate and proportional

to the gravity of the offence committed. lmposition of

appropriate

punishment is the manner in which the courts respond to the society's cry

for justice against the criminals. Justice demands that courts should
impose punishment befitting the crime so that the courts reflect public
abhorrence of the crime".

It is the duty of every court to award proper sentence having regard to the
nature of the offence and the manner in which it was executed or committed.

The sentencing courts are expected

to

consider

all relevant facts

and

circumstances bearing on the question of sentence and proceed to impose a

sentence commensurate with the gravity of the offence. lt will be a mockery of

justice to permit the culprits to escape the proper sentence, when faced with
such evidence and such cruel acts.
