all the witnesses and obtained a certificate from the TANGEDCO

k) After examination of all necessary witnesses and

final report against the accused under Sections 341, 294(b), 302, 506(ii)

of IPC and sent the same to the learned Judicial Magistrate No.II,

Kovilpatti.

3. On receipt of the records, learned Judicial Magistrate

No.II, Thoothukudi took up the case in P.R.C.No.24 of 2016 and issued

summons to the accused. After the appearance of the accused, copies of

the entire records were furnished to them free of cost under Section

207 Cr.P.C.

4. Since the offence was exclusively triable by the Sessions

Court, the learned Judicial Magistrate committed the case records to the

Principal District and Sessions Judge, Thoothukudi, under Section

209(A) Cr.P.C. for further action.

5. The Principal District Judge, Thoothukudi received the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

case records, numbered as S.C.No.283 of 2017 and made it over to the

learned II Additional District and Sessions Judge, Thoothukudi, for

disposal according to law.

6. After receipt of the case records, the learned IInd

Additional District and Sessions Judge, Thoothukudi framed charges

against the accused under Sections 341, 294(b), 302, 506(ii) of IPC. The

charges were read over and explained to the accused. The accused denied

the charges and claimed to be tried. Therefore, the case was posted for

trial.

7. On the side of the prosecution, P.W.1 to P.W.20 were

examined and Exs.P1 to Exs.P.23 were marked. Material Objects M.O.1

to M.O.12 were produced. On the side of the accused, no witness was

examined.

8. After a full trial, the Court acquitted the accused for the

offence punishable under Sections 341, 294(b), 302, 506(ii) of IPC,

against which, these present Criminal Appeals has been filed by P.W.2

and the State on the following among other grounds:-

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

a) They eye witnesses, P.W.1 who is the wife of the deceased

and P.W.2 who is the brother of the deceased have deposed about the

occurrence of a brutal murder. However, the IInd Additional District

Sessions Judge, Thoothukudi acquitted the accused without appreciating

and considering the real facts and circumstances.

b) That the P.W.1, categorically and candidly deposed about

the motive and previous enmity made between the accused and the

deceased. Per contra, the Court below acquitted the accused without

rebutting the motive ground. Hence, the acquittal judgment is liable to be

set aside at once.

c) That the P.W.3, who is the doctor clearly stated about the

26 multiple grievous injuries caused on the body of the deceased. Per

contra, the Court below simply acquitted the accused without disproving

the medical evidence of P.W.3.

d) As per the deposition of P.W.18, Investigation Officer

which reveals that the weapon namely a Knife was recovered from the

accused. Whereas, without citing any reason to disprove the evidence of

P.W.18, the trial Court acquitted the accused.

e) That the Trial Court failed to recognize the existence of

enmity between the accused Ramakrishnan and the deceased Selvaraj,

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

which formed the motive for the accused to kill the deceased. The

deceased victim has filed a complaint against the accused and he was

arrested in Crime No.63/2013 and later released by the Court. This fact

explains the motive for the accused to assault the deceased victim.

f) That the confession given by the accused to the

Investigation Officer concerning the place where the murder weapon was

hidden and later the discovery of the same becomes relevant to prove the

guilt of the accused under Section 27 of the Indian Evidence Act,

irrespective of the question, whether it is a confession or not.

g) That the Court erred in not taking into account the fact

that the blood-stained cloths M.O.6 to 12, which the accused wore when

they were arrested matched the blood group of the deceased (AB Blood

Group). This corroborates the statements of P.W.3, Dr. Ramalakshmi that

the deceased blood would have splashed on the accused shirt when they

assaulted the deceased with the Knives M.O.1 and 2.

h) That the trial Court ought not to see that the evidence of

P.W.1 and P.W.2 along with the medical evidence by way of Ex.P5 and

Ex.P19.

9. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent argued

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

that P.W.1, and P.W.2, were not present at the time of occurrence. P.W.1

is the wife of the deceased and P.W.2 is the brother of the deceased are

planted witness. As per the eyewitnesses, P.W.1 and P.W.2, the victim

went to purchase pooja materials, while returning, the occurrence took

place. However, the Investigating Officer did not recover any such pooja

materials from the place of occurrence.

10. He further argued that as per P.W.1, the complaint was

written in her handwriting. The words Ramakrishnan son of Ramasamy

and Sethuraman were written by some other person. P.W.18 while

recording the statements of P.W.1, P.W.2, it was stated that A1 and the

juvenile were involved in the occurrence. On contrary, the above

witnesses stated before the Judicial Magistrate under Section 164

of Cr.P.C, stated that four persons were involved in the occurrence.

11. The motive against the deceased was not established by

the prosecution. P.W.1 was travelling along with the deceased. No blood

stain was found on her dresses, and the Investigating Officer did not

recover the two-wheeler in which the P.W.1 and the deceased were

travelling with blood stains from the place of occurrence. The ocular

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

evidence is not supported with medical evidence.

12. The confessions, arrest and recovery not properly

proved. The accused was arrested on 05.02.2015 and blood stained

dresses were recovered from A1, it is unbelievable that the accused

continuously worn the blood stained dresses after knowing that they were

searched by the police, and the Investigating Officer created such

document to unnecessarily include the accused against the crime.

13. The weapon was not shown to the victim for

identification. P.W.2 is a habitual offender. His brother, deceased also

resembled P.W.2, has been killed by the enemies of P.W.2 by mistaken

identity. The prosecution failed to prove the case beyond all reasonable

doubt, and the judgement of the trial Court is proper and no interference

required and prayed to dismiss the appeal by confirming the judgement

of the trial Court.

14. Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the

materials available on record.

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

15. Now we have to decide whether the judgement of the

trial Court is perverse or arbitrarily liable to be set aside.

16. After careful perusal of the records, as per the

prosecution case, motive for the offence is that the deceased Selvaraj

filed a case against the accused, it was ended acquittal, both had enmity

against each other.

17. P.W.1 in her evidence states that the accused while

assaulting the deceased stated that he was acquitted on the case filed by

the deceased. However whenever the accused crossed the deceased, the

deceased was staring at him, and he should not live, took the knife and

stabbed him. P.W.1 admitted in her cross-examination that the case was

ended acquittal in the year 2013. From the year 2013 to 2015, there was

no problem between the accused and the deceased. Further it was not

established that prior to the occurrence, her husband quarrelled with the

accused in this regard. P.W.2 also did not state anything about the

previous quarrel between the accused and the deceased. Motive for the

occurrence was not properly established by the prosecution.

18. Though several houses were situated near the place of

occurrence, only P.W.1, wife of the Deceased and the P.W.2, brother of

the deceased were cited as eyewitnesses to the occurrence.

19. P.W.1, in her evidence stated that on 04.12.2014, she

went along with her husband, to purchase pooja materials as he decided

to wear sacred Thulasi garland to go to Ayyappan Temple. At 7.00 hours,

she, her son Yoga Balan, the deceased travelled in splendor plus two-

wheeler. Her grandmother and brother-in-law came in another two-

wheeler. After the purchase of pooja materials, around 8:30 p.m., While

they were near Kamaraja Vilakku, Manthithope Road, the accused

Ramakrishanan and the juvenile Sethuraman intercepted their vehicle

and spoke to her husband. She stood 10 feet away. Her grandmother and

brother-in-law were following them. The accused Ramakrishnan then

took a knife hidden from his hip and stabbed her husband on the right

side of his neck, just above the chest repeatedly. While attacking, him the

accused stated that although he had been acquitted in the case filed by

the deceased, the deceased stared at him, whenever he crossed, he should

not remain alive. The juvenile also attacked, the deceased below his

stomach, and ribs, repeatedly. When her husband tried to prevent them,

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

he had a fracture on his both hands wrist. When they raised hue and cry,

the accused threatened them by saying that, the same would happen to

them also and then they fled away from the place of occurrence. Her

husband succumbed to injuries. She went to Kovilpatti West Police

Station and gave complaint. Thereafter, police came to the occurrence

place and examined her. P.W.2 also supported her evidence.

20. Her statement was recorded under 164 of Cr.P.C by the

learned Judicial Magistrate on 06.02.2016. Before the Judicial

Magistrate, she stated that four persons attacked her husband. P.W.2 also

stated that his brother was attacked by four persons. The statements of

P.W.1 and P.W.2 were recorded two months after from the date of the

complaint. The eyewitnesses stated before the Magistrate that the

deceased was attacked by four persons but in the complaint, it was stated

that he was attacked by only two persons were attacked. During trial,

they were stated that two persons attacked. They further stated that

before the Magistrate, they mistakenly stated as four persons. If they had

truly witnessed the occurrence, they would have been able to provide the

exact details about the persons involved.

21. Further P.W.1 in her cross-examination, admitted that she

left the pooja materials in the place of occurrence. The Investigating

Officer either in Ex.P6 observation or in the Ex.P18 rough sketch did not

mention anything about the pooja materials found in the place of

occurrence. She further admitted that after the attack, her husband

slumped off the bike with injuries. But no blood stain was found on the

bike.

22. P.W.2, deposed that while the deceased was travelling on

the bike, he was attacked by the accused. At that time P.W.1 also

travelling with the deceased. It was admitted that blood was oozing from

the deceased due to the injuries, there is possibility that blood splashed

on the clothes of P.W.1, however no blood stained dresses of the P.W.1

and the child, were recorded as she were seated on the rear side of the

bike, which create doubt about her presence at the place of occurrence.

As per the P.W.1 evidence, before attack there was a conversation

between the deceased and the accused, she was staying 10 feet away,

however, P.W.2 claims that the deceased was attacked while he was

travelling in the bike with P.W.1. It seems that there is discrepancy in the

testimony of P.W.1 and P.W.2 regarding the circumstances of the

https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis ( Uploaded on: 29/04/2025 04:56:25 pm ) Crl.A(MD)Nos.415 & 530 of 2021

deceased’s attack.

23. Furthermore the eye witness testimony does not

corroborate with the medical evidence. According to the medical

evidence around 25 injuries were found on the body of the deceased

which was not mentioned by the eye witnesses. The discrepancy between

the eye witness testimony and the medical evidence is a crucial issue.

The inconsistency potentially afford the credibility of the witness, which

raises the questions about the reliability of the eye witness.

24. One of the important eyewitnesses Tamilselvi, grand

mother of the P.W.1, who was also a witnessed the occurrence not

examined by the prosecution, for the reason best known.

25. The accused were arrested the next day on the

05.02.2015 at 10 am approximately 12 hours after the occurrence.

According to the prosecution version, the blood-stained clothes were

recovered from the accused and juvenile at time of arrest, which appears

highly improbable as one cannot reasonably expect the accused to have

continued, wearing the same clothes for such a long duration.

26. P.W.16, witness cited for arrest, confession of the

accused and recovery. He did not support the prosecution case, he turned

hostile, and the arrest, confession and recovery was not proved by the

prosecution.

27. On careful perusal of the entire record, we conclude that

the prosecution failed to prove the offence against the accused beyond all

reasonable doubt and the benefit of the doubt was given to the accused,

by the trial Court after analyzing the materials on record, we do not find

any illegality or perversity in the judgement rendered by the trial Court.

28. Accordingly, these Criminal Appeals are dismissed and

the judgment passed in S.C.No.283 of 2017 on the file of the II

Additional District Sessions Judge, Thoothukudi District, dated

19.02.2021 is hereby confirmed.
