Saib Hasan Arfi Vs. Mohd. Qasim /0 (Jamia Nagar)

13.03.2020

Present: Complainant in person. 
Proxy Counsel Sh. Mohd. Shahabaz for both the accused 
alongwith both accused in person.

Matter is at the stage of final arguments.
Perusal shows that one application u/s 311 Cr.P.C. moved by
complainant for recalling CW 2/ Mohd. Mukhtar Alam and allowing him to
cross  examine CW2  is  pending  for  consideration.    Arguments on the said
application heard. Record perused. 
It is submitted by the complainant that in his pre­summoning
evidence recorded on 19.01.2013, CW/ Mohd. Mukhtar Alam had stated that
he can identify the persons who had beaten the complainant, whereas during
his   post   notice   evidence   recorded   on   19.12.2019,   it   was   stated   by   CW/
Mohd. Mukhtar Alam that he had not seen the incident and had only seen
the complainant standing outside his house and that it is evident that CW/
Mohd. Mukhtar Alam had been won over by the accused persons. However, I
do   not   find   much   merit   in   the   present   application.   Even   during   his   pre­
summoning   evidence   dated   19.01.2013,   it   was   stated   by   CW   /Mohd.
Mukhtar   Alam   that   he   saw   that   some   persons   had   gathered   outside   the
residence of the complainant and that he was told by the complainant that
two of the said persons who were present at the spot had beaten him. Thus,
even   in   his   evidence   dated   19.01.2013,   it   was   admitted   by   CW/   Mohd.
Mukhtar   Alam   that   he   was   told   about   the   incident   by   the   complainant.
Perusal of his evidence dated 19.01.2013 shows that he was not an

eyewitness   to   the   incident   in   question   and   was   not   present   when
complainant was allegedly beaten and even identities of two persons who
had   allegedly   beaten   the   complainant   were   disclosed   to   him   by   the
complainant himself. Hence, their does not seem to be any contradiction  in
the testimony of CW/ Mohd. Mukhtar Alam recorded on 19.01.2013 and that
recorded on 19.12.2019. Hence, application u/s 311 Cr.P.C. moved by the
complainant for summoning CW/ Mohd. Mukhtar Alam and allowing the
complainant   to   cross   examine   him   is   hereby   dismissed.   Application
stands disposed off accordingly. 
Final arguments addressed by the complainant. 
Adjournment sought by the accused persons on the ground that
their main counsel is not available today. This is no ground for adjournment.
Hence, opportunity of accused persons to address final arguments is hereby
closed.   Accused   persons   are   at   liberty   to   file   written   submissions,   if   any,
within 5 working days from today. 
Put up for judgment on 26.03.2020 at 12 pm.
