For the Appellant/s :

Mr. Prithvi Nath Mishra, Advocate For the State :

Mr. Ashwani Kumar Sinha, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT KUMAR SRIVASTAVA) 06-08-2019 Heard learned counsel appearing for the appellant as well as learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State on the point of admission.

In our view, this appeal can be disposed of on admission stage itself.

The appellant is aggrieved by the impugned judgment of acquittal, dated 28.02.2019, passed by 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Bagaha, West Champaran in Sessions Trial No. 92 of 2018, by which and whereunder,

Patna High Court CR. APP (DB) No.485 of 2019(4) dt.06-08-2019 2/2 learned trial court acquitted the respondent no. 2 from the charges framed against him for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant submits that the deceased had made his dying declaration before the villagers but the learned trial court did not consider the above stated fact. However, the perusal of the impugned judgment goes to show that not a single prosecution witness claimed before the trial court that the deceased had made his statement naming respondent no. 2 before his death. The perusal of impugned judgment further goes to show that the learned trial court has passed a well discussed judgment. Therefore, we do not find any ground to interfere into the impugned judgment of acquittal.

Accordingly, this criminal appeal stands dismissed on admission stage itself.
