This appeal has been filed against the judgment of acquittal dated 12.01.2018 passed by learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Barh, Patna in Sessions Trial No. 550 of 2015 by which and whereunder he acquitted the respondents no. 2 and 3 of the charges framed against them for the offences punishable under Sections 120B/34, 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 25(1-b)A, 26 and

Patna High Court CR. APP (DB) No.398 of 2018 dt.19-06-2018 2/2 27 of the Arms Act.

Perusal of impugned judgment goes to show that none had seen the actual killing of the deceased and the entire prosecution case hinges upon circumstantial evidences. The learned court below dealt with all the circumstantial evidences separately and after discussing the evidences available on the record passed the impugned judgment of acquittal. We do not find any perversity or illegality into the impugned judgment of acquittal.

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