Whether the accused wrongfully restrained the victim Jadumoni Saikia at the river side?
Whether hurt was caused to Jadumoni and his mother as alleged in the FIR?
DECISION AND REASONS THEREOF
To arrive at a just decision on the points referred above, let it be
examined the evidence on the record. The prosecution side, to establish the culpability of the accuseds, has examined seven (7) witnesses
1. Budheshwar Saikia 2. Jadumoni Saikia 3. Gamvir Deka 4. Lakhsman Deka 5. Dr.B.Hazarika Saikia 6. S.I Mahendra Sarma 7. Dr. Pramod Deka
I have gone through the same carefully.
Pw1 is the complainant. From his deposition it is clear that on
the day of incidence pw1 was not present. He was out of station. He is not an eye witness. In chief examination pw2, the one of the victim Jadumoni Deka stated the same thing as described in the Ejahar. In cross examination Victim Jadumoni Deka told that though there were many people here and there in the place of occurrence only Lakhsman Deka had witnessed the incident. In cross also said that his mother had not seen the incident. But interestingly prosecution did not placed her as witness. All prosecution witnesses remained silent regarding injury of the other victim Damayanti Deka. But in the Ejahar, complainant himself stated that Damayanti was seriously injured by the accused. In chief the only eye witness pw4, Lakhsman had said that on that day at the time of incident the accused only keep on hugging the victim Jadumoni. Also Pw4 clearly stated that the accused had not beaten up Damayanti as stated in the FIR. On the examination of Medical officer ,she stated about the injury of Smti
Damayanti Saikia and silent about main victim Jadumoni Saikia. But inexamination, prosecution witnesses stated that no injury took place against Damayanti .
From the evidence of the prosecution witnesses considered in to
to, it is amply clear that the there is only one independent eye witness Lakhsman Deka. He stated that Damayanti Saikia was not hurt by the accused. But her injury report was furnished by MO. On the same hand Lakhsman stated that no assault or hurt was caused by the accused against the victim Jadumoni Saikia. Only he saw that both accused and victim Jadumoni Pulled and hugged each other. Also whatever complainant had described about the incident in the FIR were not corroborated by any other pws. Many contradictions arose between their statements. No supporting evidences were there. Prosecution totally failed to established the charges against the accused beyond all reasonable doubts. .
Upon careful consideration of the materials on record and oral
testimony of the pws, I have reached the inescapable conclusion that the charges u/s 341/ 323 of IPC is not established.
The accused person Sri Umesh Saikia , is therefore acquitted of
charges u/s 341/ 323 of IPC and set at liberty forthwith. Bail bond is cancelled and Bailer is discharged.
