# " $ *' Learned counsel for appellants had argued that there was inexplicable delay in lodging of FIR, however, the time-line as is apparent from the evidence on record, does not indicate any such unexplained delay. Incident is stated to have occurred at about 1.00 p.m. Statement of complainant was recorded at 3.35 p.m. and FIR registered at 4.00 p.m. Names of accused were revealed later on the same day by PW16 Ramesh and PW17 Vijay. Thus, there is no merit in this argument which is accordingly rejected. There is no delay as such in registration of FIR. Equally devoid of merit is the argument raised by learned counsel for appellants that lack of independent witnesses of the occurrence, creates a dent upon the prosecution version.

Occurrence in question took place at noon in front of Government Girls School, Madina. It has been stated by PW9 Sunil and PW10 HC Sandeep that a number of people had gathered at the spot, i.e. in front of Government Girls School, Madina. It is also a matter of record that number of teachers and students reached the spot. However, it is also a commonly known fact that in such a situation, people may desist from recording their statements. Adverse inference on this count cannot be drawn in this matter to allow any benefit to the accused in the wake of credible account given by PW16 Ramesh and PW17 Vijay.

25.

An extremely relevant factor to be noted is that complicity of appellants in commission of the offence is duly cemented by the FSL report, Ex.P67. :
