With these observations, Court is of the considered opinion that the prosecution has failed to fulfill the ingredients of offences alleged against the accused persons, who faced trial beyond reasonable shadow of doubt. During pendency of the trial accused Hans Raj died and even before filing charge sheet accused Kanwal Nain Singh had died on 28.12.2004. The benefit of doubt goes to the accused. -JNF |
