He also visited the scene of offence and observed the scene and prepared the rough sketch of the scene.

against the accused after receipt of wound certificate from the Government
Hospital, Jaggaiahpet. Ex.P6 is FIR, Ex.P7 is rough sketch.
j) The Learned Addl.Public Prosecutor vehemently argued that the evidence of PW1 was corroborated with the evidence of eye witnesses and also his wife, mother and medical evidence and the evidence of Investigating Officer, who are examined as PWs.2 to 9 and the evidence is sufficient to convict the accused with which the accused stood charged. On the other hand, the Learned Defence counsel also argued and denied the entire evidence of prosecution witnesses and he also argued that as per the evidence of wound certificate the incident took place at about 6.45 pm whereas PW1 testified that the incident took place at about 8.30 pm and so no offence took place and the accused is no way responsible for the injuries caused on the body of injured PW1 and prays to acquit the accused person.
11. This court carefully scrutinized the entire evidence of prosecution witnesses. In the chief examination PW1 testified that the accused entered into his house, by the time he was sat on a cot and writing diary and hacked him with an
Axe on his left side head and also on left side shoulder and caused bleeding injuries and the incident was took place on 04.04.2019 at about 8.30 pm. In the cross examination, he testified that he never tried to escape from the clutches of the accused by going inside of another room. Further he admitted that persons on the road is easily visible from his house. He also admitted that as per the wound certificate issued by medical officer the incident took place at 6.45 PM at
Annavaram. PWs. 2 to 5 also testified that the incident took place at 8.30 pm only.
Among them PWs.2 and 3 are the mother and wife of PW1 and they are interested witnesses to the incident and also their evidence discloses that they did not witness the incident when the accused was hacking with an Axe on the head of PW1 and 9
SC No.153 of 2019
Dt.11-04-2022 also on shoulders and they are not the eye witnesses to the incident. From the cross examination of PWs.1 and 2, it is clear that PW1 is doing Guava fruits business and he used to secure fruits from the Gardens situated nearby the surroundings of Annavaram and he used to travel for a distance of 10 kilometers per day for collecting Guava fruits.
i) PW4 is the alleged eye witness to the incident. In the chief examination, he testified that when he reached to YSR centre at 8.30 pm he heard cries from the house of PW2. When he reached there he did not observe the presence of accused and he came to know the incident through PW2 only. He is not an eyewitness to the incident and only he learnt the same from the PW2 only. In the cross examination, PW4 testified that the YSR statute is situated behind the house of PW1. So, the evidence of PW4 is no way helpful to the case of prosecution to prove that the accused hacked PW1 and caused bleeding injuries with an Axe.
ii) PW5 is the neighbour of PW1. As per his evidence, the incident took place at 8.30 pm only and he also testified that he came to know that the accused hacked PW1 with an Axe and in the cross examination, he admitted that on hearing cries of PW1 only he came outside of the house and rushed to his house and he does not know who went to the house of PW1. No incriminating evidence available against the accused to show that the accused trespassed into the house of PW1 and hacked him with an Axe.
iii) PW6 is one of the mediator to the scene observation report. In the cross examination, he admitted that at the time of their visiting to the scene of offence there are no bloodstains on the floor of the room and also there are no bloodstains on the cot. He also admitted that he is running a Xerox shop situated by the side of Chillakallu P.S. In the cross examination, he also admitted that there are no bloodstains on the stick to the Iron Axe.
iv) PW8 recorded the statement of PW1 under Ex.P5 statement but it did not contain counter signature of the Medical Officer. In the chief examination, he testified that while he was in the Chillakallu P.S. he received hospital intimation from 10
SC No.153 of 2019
Dt.11-04-2022
Jaggaiahpet on 04.04.2019 at 11.45 pm then he rushed to the hospital and recorded the statement of victim, whereas PW9 who is the Investigating Officer, admitted that he did not file the hospital intimation alongwith his charge sheet and he also admitted that the neighbours of the scene of offence are not available, so he did not examine them. But the reasons assigned by the Investigating Officer is not satisfactory one for not examining the persons mentioned in the rough sketch.
Further he admitted that he did not request the Mandal Revenue Officer in writing for securing the Village Secretary for preparation of mediators report and for seizure of material object. Even the Investigating Officer did not collect any bloodstains from the scene of offence. As per the prosecution, the accused hacked PW1’s head with an axe and also on the left shoulder and caused bleeding injuries at 8.30 pm while he was writing his personal diary but the Investigating Officer did not seize the said diary which may contain bloodstains and also he did not collect any bloodstains on the floor or any other items in the room including the diary.
v) The case of prosecution is that the incident took place at 8.30 pm and immediately after the incident the accused went away from that place alongwith M.O.1 Axe but as per the wound certificate which was marked as Ex.P4 the incident took place at about 6.45 PM at Annavaram. The Medical Officer also mentioned in Ex.P4 wound certificate that “alleged to have beaten by known person with blunt object at his house at 6.45 pm at Annavaram.” So, no offence took place at 8.30 pm as per the evidence of medical officer and also as per Ex.P4 wound certificate. Further, it is mentioned in the Ex.P4 wound certificate that the injuries were caused alleged to have been beaten by known person with blunt object at 6.45 pm. PW1 did not reveal the name of accused who is no other than his childhood friend and classmate. Even PW1 did not try to escape from the clutches of accused and also he never tried to caught hold the accused. It is the clear from the evidence of PW1 to 3, at the time of admission of injured in the hospital he was in conscious state and he had not named the accused before doctor, who examined him and sent hospital intimation to the police.
11
SC No.153 of 2019
Dt.11-04-2022 vi) The entire evidence of the prosecution witnesses i.e.PWs.1 to 5 is not believable and among them PWs.2 and 3 are the interested witnesses and also hear say witnesses. PWs.2 and 3 claimed that they had taken the injured to the hospital, but it is not in the column of patient admittedly. PWs. 2 and 3 are interested witnesses, who are interested in securing conviction of a person out of vengeance or enmity, who has personal interest in the outcome of a matter at hand,
PWs.2 and 3 are not eye witnesses for the incident.
vii) PWs.4 and 5 also did not witness the incident and later they observed the injuries on the head of PW1 and no incriminating evidence available against the accused person.PWs.4 and 5 testified that they came to know the motive for the incident is that PW1 spread against the accused as a gay in the village but none of the villagers were examined to establish the case of prosecution.
Even the time of incident is also changed from oral evidence of PWs.1 to 5 to Ex.P4 wound certificate under documentary evidence. The Investigating Officer failed to seize the bloodstain clothes from PW1. There is a cloud cast on the case of prosecution about time of offence mentioned in the Ex.P4 wound certificate and actual occurrence of offence. No sufficient and corroborative evidence adduced by the prosecution to prove the guilt of the accused that the accused made an attempt to murder PW1 with Axe by trespassing into the house of PW1 and no cogent and convincing and corroborative evidence is available to prove the guilt of the accused beyond all reasonable doubt.
12.From the foregoing discussion, reasons and findings, this Court hold that the prosecution failed to establish the guilt of the accused either for the offence U/s.307 of IPC or for the offence U/s.448 of IPC. Accordingly, accused is entitled for acquittal and accordingly point is answered.
In the result, the Accused is found not guilty for the offence U/s.448 and 307 of IPC and he is acquitted U/s.235(1) Cr.P.C. The bail bonds of the accused shall stand cancelled after expiry of Six(6) months of time from the date of Judgment as per Section 437-A of Cr.P.C. M.O.1 Axe shall be destroyed after expiry of appeal time.
