Rustomji v. state, AIR 1971 SC 1087; 1971 CrLJ 933
In P. Rustomji v. State of Maharashtra (AIR 1971 S.C.1087) the Supreme Court has
observed thus:- "It is not every threat, inducement or promise even emanating from
the person in authority that is hit by Section 24 of the Evidence Act. In order to
attract the bar, it has to be such an inducement, threat or promise, which should lead
the accused to suppose that by making it he would gain any advantage or avoid any
evil of temporal nature in reference to the proceedings against him. In the case
before us what is it that the appellant has been told? He has been told that the law
requires him to tell the truth and if he does not tell the truth, he may be prosecuted
under Section 193, I.P.C for giving false evidence. This, we have held, does not
constitute a threat under Section 24 of the Evidence Act".

Bhagirath v. State of Madhya Pradesh

The prosecution story is that a dacoity was committed in village Piparia-Mishar
in the bouses of Ratansingh, Amansingh and Ganeshsing. A list of ornaments
plundered from the three houses was also sent (Ex. P-3). During investigation it
was found that the dacoits reside in villages Mangola and Kabirpur. The two
villages are close to each other. Appellants Bhaggi and Mullu are residents of
village Mangola, while the other appellants come from village Kabirpur. The
conviction of the appellants is based on certain discovery of ornaments and on
confessions of appellants Girdhari, Halkai and Bhaggi alias Bhagirath. Shri R.S.
Dabir, learned Counsel for the appellants, strenuously argued that both the
discovery and the confessions have been obtained by threats and by beating by
the Sub-Inspector of Police. I have no doubt that this is true. The witness states
that the Sub-Inspector asked each villager whether he had committed the dacoity.
On his answering the question in the negative, he was beaten; and then a question
would be asked as to where the property was. The witness added that appellant
Mullu cannot see during night, as he is short-sighted, and he cannot walk without
a Lathi and a lantern. The witness also stated that accused Buddha was so much
beaten that he passed stools. On the basis of this evidence, which I believe to be
true, Shri R.S. Dabir argues that the fact of discovery of the ornaments should not
be believed and that the confessions must be held to be involuntary. M. P. HC
allow the appeals of all the seven appellants, set aside the conviction and the
sentence passed and order that they be acquitted in this case.

Bhimrao Patil, since deceased, was married to Mainabai daughter of Dnyanoba
Gajbhiye. the appellant and other acquitted accused Ramesh are the sons of
accused No. 1 Dnyanoba. They were residing jointly in the house at Narkhed.
The prosecution case further is that Bhimrao and Mainabai were not pulling on
well together. Their relations were strained and accused had a grudge against
Bhimrao because of illtreatment by him to Mainabai and, therefore, in the night
the accused assaulted Bhimrao throughout the night by sticks and other weapon

in the house of the accused and in the night, the accused tied the big stone with
the coconut rope on the dead body and it was thrown in manhole of the septic
tank and manhole was closed. As Bhimrao did not return to Mowad, his brother
PW 5 came to Narkhed, made inquiries about Bhimrao but he could not get any
trace so he wrote a latter (Exh. 55) to his brother-in-law showing his suspicion
that the accused killed Bhimrao. As the foul smell was emitting from the Gutter,
the information was given to Nagar Parishad. The dead body was taken out and
information was given to Police Station. convicting the appellant for the offence
punishable under Sections 302 and 201 of I.P.C. but Bombay HC find accused
not guilty of any offence. Hence interference is required. The appeal is allowed.
The conviction and sentence recorded by trial Judge is quashed and set aside. The

deceased Pushpa Devi was living with her husband PW-7 and the appellant
Bhagat Bahadur was employed with them as a domestic servant at the
relevant time. It is the case of the prosecution that the deceased lady, being of
short-tempered nature, was not satisfied with the work and conduct of
appellant Bhagat Bahadur and often used to scold him which was being
resented by the appellant who used to be pacified by other family members.
One day she was alone in the house and when her had come back and found
that the main gate of the house was lying open and on entering the drawing
room, he, found the blood lying on the sofa and he went towards the kitchen
as the blood stains were leading to that place and he found his mother Pushpa
lying in a pool of blood in half naked condition having numerous wounds on
various parts of her body. Arvind immediately contacted his neighbours and
also informed his father and to the police on the telephone. It was mentioned
in the statement of Arvind that the domestic servant namely appellant Bhagat
Bahadur was found missing from the house and despite being searched, he
could not be found and he expressed the suspicion that the said servant had
murdered his mother. two appellants have been convicted of an offence
punishable under section 302 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code

sentences of the appellants and acquit the appellants of the charges.

Complainant Subhash and his brothers Krishan and Jaswant, had purchased one
tractor mark Ford of blue colour. three persons came to the house of Krishan
deceased and agreed to purchase the tractor for Rs. 1,36,000/-. They paid Rs. 50/as advance money and told that they will pay the remaining consideration on July
4, 1989. On the same evening, Krishan deceased went to the fields with the
tractor for ploughing the land and he did not return till 11.00 P.M. His brother
Jaswant and elder brother Subhash went in search of Krishan and found harrow
of the tractor lying in the field near the dead body of Krishan which was smered
with blood. The tractor was missing. After leaving Shiv Karan and Jaswant at the
spot, Subhash accompanied by Ram Kumar and Rattan Lal went to Police Station
Jatusana and lodged a report. He suspected these three persons for the
commission of murder of his brother and removal of the tractor whose
description was incorporated in the first information report. Since there is no
conclusive evidence pointing to the guilt of the appellants, their conviction
cannot be maintained. As a result Punjab-Haryana HC set aside the conviction
and sentence awarded to the appellants and acquits them of the offences.
15. State v. Gantt, 26 N.C. App. 554 [ CHECK FACTS]

The defendants were charged in bills of indictment with (1) breaking and
entering a building occupied by Viewmont Pharmacy in Hildebran with intent to
commit a felony, to wit larceny; (2) felonious possession of housebreaking
implements; and (3) attempted safecracking. Both defendants pled not guilty to
the charges.
The evidence for the State tended to show that Detective Lee Brittain received a
call that someone had seen subjects run through a yard and into the Viewmont
Pharmacy in Hildebran. Brittain observed Gantt and Arnette along with three
other boys at the back door of the pharmacy and Arnette was carrying a black bag
in his hand. Several of the boys lifted Gantt up to remove the light bulb from its
receptacle over the back door, but the attempt was unsuccessful. Another boy
eventually removed the bulb. Brittain then heard a noise at the door whereupon
the door flew open and all five boys went into the building. Some time later after
reinforcements had been called, the officers rushed the door and Arnette and
Gantt were observed running by the side of the building. One of the remaining
three came out of the building and gave himself up. The other two were found
inside the building. We find that there was sufficient evidence to support the jury
verdicts, and that both defendants had a fair trial.
