As per case facts, the complainant's brother, Rajbir, was lured away on 10.05.2002 and later found beaten to death by multiple accused using lathis and a jaily in a field.
...The complainant, who claimed to be an eyewitness, reported the incident with significant delay. The accused were acquitted by the Trial Court on 27.08.2003. The State appealed, arguing no delay, consistent medical and ocular accounts, and weapon recoveries. The question arose whether the Trial Court's acquittal was perverse and warranted High Court interference. Finally, the High Court found the complainant's conduct unnatural, citing unexplained delays in reporting, inconsistencies in his actions, and contradictions between the ocular and medical evidence, especially regarding a jaily blow and the lack of forensic analysis on recovered weapons. Concluding that the Trial Court's reasonable and plausible view did not warrant interference, the High Court dismissed the appeal.
