PLEA OF ACCUSED UNDER SECTION 351 BNSS

15. Accused persons denied all the allegations and pleaded
innocence, taking plea that they were innocent and they were
falsely implicated in this case. They also took plea that witnesses
had deposed falsely against them. They further took plea that
they had nothing to do with the commission of alleged offences.
Accused persons did not opt to lead any evidence in their
defence.

ARGUMENTS OF DEFENCE & PROSECUTION

16. I heard ld. Special PP as well as ld. counsels for accused persons
and I have perused the entire material on the record.

Tyagi, ld. counsel for Jatin Sharma, Lokesh Solanki, Sahil @
Babu, Vivek Panchal and Rishabh Chaudhary, argued that as per
allegations deceased Bhure died on 26.02.2020 at 10.30 A.M.
Prosecution relied upon only one eye witness i.e. PW2/Nisar.
But, PW2 did not see anyone committing this murder. His
statement referred to other and general conditions of riots.
Therefore, even if statement of PW2 is taken at its face value, it
does not prove the incident of this case. Ld. counsel further
argued that careful scrutiny of Whats App chats would show that
the members of the same intended to be alert against any attack.
The message imputed to accused Lokesh might have been posted
to enthuse morale of the members and to prepare themselves for
any attack. It can be treated to have been created for defence of
community and sharing of information for that purpose.

18. Sh. Rakshpal Singh and Sh. Hari Krishan, ld. counsels for
accused Pankaj Sharma, Sumit @ Badshah, Ankit Chaudhary @
Fauji, Prince, Tinku and Sandeep @ Mogli, submitted that
statement of PW2 is full of confusion and improbabilities. PW2
could not have seen Johripur Pulia from his house, as claimed by
him. When PW2 left his house, he had made call to police. But
he did not make any call to police for safety of his sister, though
he showed much concern for his sister. PW2 deliberately gave
evasive answers and showed ignorance about signing his
statement given before the court in the past.

19. Sh. Rajan Sisodia, ld. counsel for Himanshu Thakur argued to
add that there was not a single message in the relied upon Whats
App group, from Himanshu.

20. Per contra, Sh. Madhukar Pandey, ld. Special PP for State relied
upon the WhatsApp chats retrieved from the mobile phone of
witnesses namely Shivam, Mohit and Dimple to submit that these
chats established involvement of accused Lokesh and his
companion accused persons in this incident.

21. Sh. Madhukar Pandey, ld. Special PP filed written argument on
behalf of prosecution. In his written argument, ld. Special PP
strongly placed reliance upon the testimony of eyewitness i.e.
PW2/Nisar Ahmad, in support of this case. Ld. Special PP further
mentioned in the written argument that PW2 confirmed the
presence of the accused persons in the rioting mob on 25.02.2020
since 7-7.30 AM, till the next day. PW2 further confirmed the
presence of accused persons in the rioting mob, who attacked the
house of Pappu, when PW2 was inside the house of Pappu. PW2
correctly identified the accused persons during his testimony
before the court by correctly taking their names except Rishabh.
Written further mentions that from the testimony of PW2, it is
well established that accused persons were an active part of the
mob indulging in riotous activities on 25.02.2020. It is further
mentioned that extraction of Data PW27/Article-1 also
corroborates the prosecution story. In this extracted data
WhatsApp Chats of group in the name of “Kattar Hindutv Ekta”

were recovered. On 26.02.2020, accused Lokesh Solanki in the
afore-said group, vide message at 11:44 PM also stated that “he
had killed 2 Muslim persons in Bhagirathi Vihar.” As per CAF
i.e. Ex.PW11/D, the number from which the extra-judicial
confession was made, was issued in the name of accused Lokesh,

s/o. Yogender. The testimony of PW2/Nisar Ahmad is sufficient
and reliable. Ld. Special PP placed reliance upon the case of
Mohd. Nasim v. State, 2023 SCC OnLine Del 7073, wherein
Hon’ble High Court of Delhi observed that: –

“12. ….It was observed in Kuna @ Sanjaya Behera v. State of
Odisha
, 2017 SCC OnLine SC 1336 that the conviction can be
based on the testimony of single eyewitness if he or she passes
the test of reliability and that is not the number of witnesses but
the quality of evidence that is important.
The Supreme Court in
Veer Singh v State of UP, (2014) 2 SCC 455 observed as under:

Legal system has laid emphasis on value, weight and quality of
evidence rather than on quantity, multiplicity or plurality of
witnesses. It is not the number of witnesses but quality of their
evidence which is important as there is no requirement under
the Law of Evidence that any particular number of witnesses is
to be examined to prove/disprove a fact. Evidence must be
weighed and not counted. It is quality and not quantity which
determines the adequacy of evidence as has been provided
Under Section 134 of the Evidence Act. As a general rule the
Court can and may act on the testimony of a single witness
provided he is wholly reliable.”

13. The prosecution does not require number of eyewitnesses to
prove its case beyond reasonable doubt. Even if there is one
eyewitness and his testimony is up to the mark, the conviction
can be based upon the same. The Supreme Court in Namdeo v.
State of Maharashtra
, (2007) 14 SCC 150 held as under: –

“In the leading case of Shivaji Sahebrao Bobade v. State of
Maharashtra
, (1973) 2 SCC 793, this Court held that even where
a case hangs on the evidence of a single eye witness it may be
enough to sustain the conviction given sterling testimony of a
competent, honest man although as a rule of prudence Courts
call for corroboration. “It is a platitude to say that witnesses
have to be weighed and not counted since quality matters more
than quantity in human affairs…….””

State v. Lokesh Solanki etc.
SC No. 133/2020, FIR No. 104/2020, PS Gokalpuri

22. Ld. Special PP also placed reliance upon the case of Atmaram &
Ors. v. State of Madhya Pradesh
, 2012 (5) SCC 738, wherein
Hon’ble Supreme Court observed that: –

“13. It is a settled cannon of criminal jurisprudence that every
statement of the witness must be examined in its entirety and the
Court may not rely or reject the entire statement of a witness
merely by reading one sentence from the deposition in isolation
and out of context.”

23. It is further mentioned in the arguments that deposition of a
witness who had been cross examined by the Prosecutor for
resiling away from his statement given to police, was considered
in the case of Jodhraj Singh v. State of Rajasthan, 2007(15) SCC
294, wherein Hon’ble Supreme Court observed that: –

“14. It is trite that only because a witness, for one reason or the
other, has, to some extent, resiled from his earlier statement by
itself may not be sufficient to discard the prosecution case in its
entirety. The Courts even in such a situation are not powerless.
Keeping in view the materials available on record, it is
permissible for a Court of law to rely upon a part of the
testimony of the witness who has been declared hostile.”

24. Ld. Special PP further mentioned that Hon’ble Supreme Court in
the case of Jodhraj Singh (supra) also considered and approved
the dictum laid down by it in the judgment of State of U.P. v.
Ramesh Prasad Misra and Another
(1996) 10 SCC 360, wherein
it was held that: –

“7. The question is whether the first respondent was present at
the time of death or was away in the village of DW 1, his
brother-in-law. It is rather most unfortunate that these
witnesses, one of whom was an advocate, having given the
statements about the facts within their special knowledge,
under Section 161 recorded during investigation, have resiled
from correctness of the versions in the statements. They have

Page 32 of 40 (Pulastya Pramachala)

Karkardooma Courts, Delhi
CNR No. DLNE01-002724-2020
State v. Lokesh Solanki etc.
SC No. 133/2020, FIR No. 104/2020, PS Gokalpuri

not given any reason as to why the investigating officer could
record statements contrary to what they had disclosed. It is
equally settled law that the evidence of a hostile witness would
not be totally rejected if spoken in favour of the prosecution or
the accused, but it can be subjected to close scrutiny and that
portion of the evidence which is consistent with the case of the
prosecution or defence may be accepted.”

25. Written argument further mentions that even though PW2/Nisar
Ahmad resiled from his statement given to the IO to some extent,
he supported the case of the Prosecution with respect to the role
attributed to accused persons. The above judgments dictate that
the evidence of a witness has to be read in entirety and merely
because the witness resiled from his statements given to the
police, the testimony of such a witness does not become
unreliable or less trustworthy.

26. Written argument further mentions that in the light of afore-said
circumstances, charges u/s. 147/148/302/201 IPC read with
S.34/149 IPC stand proved against all accused persons. Prayer
has been made for conviction of accused persons under Section
147
/148/302/201 read with S.34/149 IPC, in the present case.

APPRECIATION OF FACTS AND EVIDENCE
UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLY & RIOT

27. FIR in this case was registered on the basis of recovery of a dead
body from drain (Bhagirathi Vihar Nala). During investigation, it
was found to be dead body of Bhure Ali. The record shows that
prosecution relied upon PW1/Narottam Singh, PW2/Nisar
Ahmad, PW7/Prem Pal and PW18/Amit, as the eye witnesses of
the incident. However, none of these witnesses vouched to have
seen the incident of assault and murder of Bhure on 26.02.2020

Page 33 of 40 (Pulastya Pramachala)

at 10.30 A.M. All of these witnesses were declared hostile by the
prosecution. Even otherwise, except for PW1, other witnesses did
not give specific account of any incident of murder of a person.

28. PW1 mentioned in his testimony that on 26.02.2020 at about 8-
8.30 P.M., he was sitting on a pipeline situated near a temple. At
that time, he saw a mob chasing two bikers. They were coming
from the side of Bhagirathi Vihar and going towards Johripur
Pulia/Chauraha. After reaching that crossroad (chauraha), the
pillion rider jumped into the drain (nala) and another biker also
left the bike and started running away. The mob overpowered
that biker near a sewage filter plant and gave beatings to him.
That biker was in very bad condition and the mob lifted him and
threw him in the drain. The mob also threw that bike in the drain,
while setting fire in the same. After that, PW1 made call to police
at 100 number twice.

29. PW1 did not depose about having seen any other incident on
26.02.2020. Apparently above-mentioned part of testimony of
PW1, does not relate to incident probed in this case. PW2/Nisar
claimed that on 26.02.2020 in the morning, he was in telephonic
touch with his niece Sitara, who resided near his house. She
requested PW2 to rescue her. PW2 was making calls after
reaching Bhagirathi Nala, but he did not go ahead of the same
because of presence of mob. He was hearing hue and cry only
and he did not see assault to any person on that day.

30. PW7/Prem Pal deposed that on 26.02.2020, he remained inside
of his home and did not come out of it at any time on 26.02.2020.
He further deposed that he had not seen any incident taking place

Karkardooma Courts, Delhi

State v. Lokesh Solanki etc.
SC No. 133/2020, FIR No. 104/2020, PS Gokalpuri

on 26.02.2020. He denied the suggestions of ld. prosecutor that
on 26.02.2020 at about 10.30 A.M., he had seen a mob at Main
Nala Road, Bhagirathi Vihar; or that he had seen a person being
intercepted by that mob and beaten to death by that mob; or that
dead body of that person was thrown in the nala by that mob.

31. PW18/Amit deposed about seeing a different mob at around 7
A.M. of 26.02.2020. According to PW5, said mob was
intercepting persons from Hindu community near Brijpuri Pulia
and beating them. Thereafter, PW5 remained at his house and he
did not see any mob of persons from Hindu community.

32. Even postmortem examination report/Ex. A-24 mentions opinion
regarding time since death as about 10 days. This opinion was
given on 04.03.2020 and 10 days back from that date would be
around 24.02.2020. Thus, this opinion does not help the case of
prosecution in support of the given time and date of the incident.
During cross examination of a witness i.e. PW4/Mohit Sharma,
ld. prosecutor referred to eight other cases i.e. FIR nos. 35/20,
36/20, 37/20, 38/20, 103/20, 104/20, 149/20 and 156/20 of same
police station. All these cases have been pending in this court
itself. All these cases relate to murder during riot. All these cases
are based on the recovery of dead bodies from the same drain.
Though place of recovery of bodies had been different from each
other. But, for appreciation of evidence in this case, it is relevant
to note that several dead bodies were thrown in the same drain.
Prosecution alleged different time of incident in each case. But
prosecution evidence does not show as to which incident related
to murder of deceased Bhure. I find that there is no evidence at

Page 35 of 40 (Pulastya Pramachala)
ASJ-03, North-East District,
Karkardooma Courts, Delhi
CNR No. DLNE01-002724-2020
State v. Lokesh Solanki etc.
SC No. 133/2020, FIR No. 104/2020, PS Gokalpuri

all to prove that Bhure was intercepted at Nala Road, Bhagirathi
Vihar on 26.02.2020 at 10.30 A.M.

33. Therefore, though on the basis of description of injuries and
cause of death mentioned in the postmortem report, I am sure
about murder of Bhure, but I am not sure about the incident of
his murder. Hence, it also becomes difficult to assume as to at
what particular place and time such incident had taken place.
Whether it was a mob consisting of 5 or more persons (which
could be termed as unlawful assembly), or otherwise. Such
questions have remained unanswered in the evidence of this case.

IDENTIFICATION OF ACCUSED PERSONS

34. Next question is that whether accused persons prosecuted in this
case, were members of the mob which killed Bhure. In view of
my observation made herein-above, answer to this question does
not remain matter of much speculation. When the court is not
even sure about the incident wherein Bhure was killed, and when
there is no clarity from the evidence as to which mob had killed
Bhure, then it is only a formality to say that there is no evidence
on the record to show that any of the accused was member of the
culprit mob.

35. Ld. Prosecutor heavily relied upon the Whats App chats from a
group, to raise fingers against accused Lokesh Solanki. The
relevant part of that chat is as follows: –

“2/26/20, 9:45 AM – Binni: sare taiyaar rho
2/26/20, 8:29 PM – Binni: Bhai taiyaar rho kaam start hone vala

36. It is again worth to again refer to eight other cases, as mentioned
herein-above. Prosecution has relied upon same chats in all these
nine cases of murder and almost same set of accused persons
(one additional accused being in one case and two additional
accused being in another case) have been chargesheeted in these
nine cases. Accused in this case are accused in all these nine
cases. Aforesaid chats purportedly refer to killing of two persons
in the night of 26.02.2020. But, same has been used to support
allegations of murder of nine persons. In the present case
prosecution alleged time of murder at 10.30 A.M. This scenario
itself shows that these chats cannot be related to incident probed
in this case. Moreover, such post may be put in the group solely
with intention of becoming hero in the estimation of other
members of the group, also. It could be a boast, without truth
also. Therefore, the relied upon chats, cannot be substantive
evidence to show that accused Lokesh had actually killed two
Muslim persons. These chats at the most could be used a
corroborative piece of evidence as a support to the substantive
evidence showing complicity of Lokesh in the alleged incident.
Hence, for want of any substantive evidence, they cannot be

given much attention.

37. Ld. Prosecutor also relied upon testimony of PW2/Nisar. PW2
claimed having seen and identified several persons including
some accused persons, in the mob present near Bhagirathi Nala
in the morning of 26.02.2020. But he also deposed that he had
not seen assault to any person on that day. In that situation, any
name being mentioned by PW2, becomes worthless. No
presumption can be raised that some persons identified as part of
some mob at some place, would also have been involved in the
unknown incident of murder of Bhule. There is no evidence even
to point out the place and time of such incident.

38. In his cross examination by prosecutor, PW2/Nisar deposed that
he had subsequently come to know from police that murders had
taken place at Johripur Pulia. This again goes on to show that he
had not seen any incident of murder himself. PW2/Nisar further
deposed that on 26.02.2020 at around 3-4 P.M., he had seen a
mob coming from the side of Bhagirathi Vihar. However, the
given time period once again does not match with the alleged
time of incident in this case.

39. PW2/Nisar admitted suggestion of the prosecutor that he had told
name of some persons to police, who were part of the mob seen
by him and who continued rioting for whole day of 25.02.2020
and they used to kill Muslim persons. First of all, such admission
of suggestion does not become evidence of the stated facts,
because what was told by PW2/Nisar before police, does not
become substantive evidence. What was deposed by him before
the court, is the substantive evidence. Secondly, even this
Page 39 of 40 (Pulastya Pramachala)
ASJ-03, North-East District,
Karkardooma Courts, Delhi

State v. Lokesh Solanki etc.
SC No. 133/2020, FIR No. 104/2020, PS Gokalpuri

statement does not show if PW2/Nisar had seen any particular
incident of murder. This was a generalized statement, perhaps
based on hearsay, which does not help in the trial of a particular
incident. Therefore, even without going into question of
credibility of statement of PW2/Nisar, I find that his evidence
does not help the case of prosecution in any manner, to prove the
alleged incident in this case.

CONCLUSION & DECISION

40. In view of my foregoing discussions, observations and findings, I
find that charges levelled against the accused persons in this case
are not proved at all. Hence, all accused namely 1. Lokesh
Kumar Solanki, 2. Pankaj Sharma, 3. Ankit Chaudhary, 4. Prince,

5. Jatin Sharma @ Rohit, 6. Himanshu Thakur, 7. Vivek Panchal
@ Nandu, 8. Rishabh Chaudhary @ Tapas, 9. Sumit Chaudhary
@ Badshah, 10. Tinku Arora, 11. Sandeep @ Mogli and 12. Sahil
@ Babu, are acquitted of all the charges.
