19. MOOT PROPOSITION
Ramesh Kumar, age 40 years, a resident of Chandvaji, Rajasthan (India) was employed as
supervisor in a factory called " SOHAN & CO.”, which is 2 km away from his village. Ramesh
Kumar lives with his wife Sarita Devi of 36 years, their son Dinesh who is 7 years old, and daughter
Sushila 23 years old. Ramesh was a hardworking man. He was very loyal for his work as a
supervisor. Ramesh used to return home from factory around 6 a.m. He was the sole bread winner
of the family and had his daughter’s marriage coming up. As a father he wanted to make her
daughter’s marriage the most memorable day of her life. So he worked hard to earn the money so
that he can make his daughter’s marriage rememberable. On the morning of 7th July 2018 his son
Dinesh went out to search for Ramesh when Ramesh Kumar didn’t return home from his night
duty on 7th July and discovered him in oblivious condition behind the shrubberies, in immediate
vicinity to the railway-gate of Chandvaji. From that point with the assistance of adjacent locals
and a railway-guard named Ghanashyam, Ramesh Kumar was taken to the "Shanti Hospital"
Chandvaji. Where the doctor tried their best to save him yet in evening at 4.00 pm Ramesh Kumar
passed away. At 8.00 pm, the deceased's wife Sarita Devi lodged FIR at Chandvaji Police Station,
as under:-
FIRST INFORMATION OF REPORT-
2. "My husband Ramesh Kumar was a very quiet person. We had acquired a credit of 1 lakh rupees
at the interest of 25% per annum in March 2015 from the moneylender Kishan Lal, for the marriage
of our daughter Shushila. We were unable to pay back the money due to insufficient income. On
3rd July 2018, four days ago, the moneylender and his 4 companions with lathi came to our house
and demanded the amount borrowed. When we recounted our inability to repay and requested
some additional time, they began mishandling us and said that on the off chance that we didn't pay
the borrowed money within 3 days then the consequences would be noticeably bad. Along these
lines, I have full certainty that moneylender Kishan Lal and his four partners - Kedar, Subedar,
Havaldar and Jamadar have killed my husband”.
INVESTIGATION-
3. Based on the above FIR and in the wake of scrutinizing the nearby individuals of that place and
individuals living in the surroundings of the town, Investigating Officer Sandeep Kumar arrested
Kishan Lal and his four partners, under Section 302, 304, 326, 506, and 509 of IPC 1860 on 10th
July 2018. One of the accused Havaldar in police custody confessed that he and his three other
partners had attacked the deceased. The arrested individuals were taken to the nearest Chief
Judicial Magistrate from where the matter was referred to the Court of Session and all the accused
got bail.

STATEMENT U/S 161 OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE-
4. Amid the investigation, Ghanashyam, the railway-guard, said that, “I was in a deep sleep when
I heard the voices of some people talking loudly but because of laziness, I didn’t go out. But the
voices seemed familiar to me and out of them one seemed to be similar to that of the voice of the
money lender. And when I woke up I saw a lot of crowd near the railway gate. When I went to the
crowd, I saw that the deceased was oblivious and alongside other individuals, he additionally
encouraged in taking him to the doctor's facility”. Deceased’s wife Sarita Devi imposed a direct
charge on the moneylender and his four friends and Son Dinesh Kumar conceded that a few people
had threaten to kill his father a couple of days prior.
5. Moneylender Kishan Lal stated that he was attending the marriage of his brother-in-law at the
night of the incident, while one of the guest Mr. Kapoor has confiremed the presence of Kishan lal
at the time of marriage and the second guest Mr. Mittal said that he met to Kishan Lal before 12
a.m. and after that they do not appear. Kishan lal’s wife said that on the day of incidence her
husband came home at 6 a.m. and he was very upset and told the reason that he had "wiped him
out today". Albeit, the Post Mortem Report prepared by the doctor uncovered that two strokes of
knife are found on the lower portion of the deceased’s chest, which was insufficient to cause death
but rather he died of excessive bleeding.
6. Co-accused Havaldar confessed that his three companions had attacked the deceased; however,
he was only standing and did not hurt the deceased. Gram Pradhan of the village has given
statement that Kishanlal is a decent and respectable man and furthermore he communicated his
apprehension about the expanding episodes of robbery around the rail-road. Pankaj, the villager,
said that once he had likewise loaned cash from the moneylender and he didn't trouble him by any
means even though he had late deposited. Kishanlal’s father-in-law Gobardhan Das told that
Kishan Lal Ji was involved in his son’s marriage at the time of incidence.
7. Likewise, Hotel supervisor Sachin Sharma, whose hotel was reserved for the wedding service
of Gobardhan’s son, told that Kishan Lal stayed in the hotel that night. Ishwarlal, another inhabitant
of the village, told that the incidences of robbery have expanded around the railroad and he also
had been robbed over there a couple of days prior to the incidence. Co-accused Kedar said that
there was no question of attacking the deceased, as deceased was depositing instalments regularly
for the principle sum of the debt taken by him.
MATERIALS RECOVERED DURING THE INVESTIGATION-
7. Amid the search by the police, on the trail of co-accused Havaldar, the police had recovered
three knives from immediate vicinity to the incident place. The blood of the deceased was
not found on any knives but the fingerprints of co-accused Havaldar were found one of
them. Some fingerprints were also found on two knives, which were not matched with any
other’s accused. Police had seized the register of Hotel Manager, in which the name of the
moneylender was entered. Police had also seized the books of account of the moneylender
Page 33 of 40
which shows the debt amount in favour of deceased and the deceased regularly paid the
loan but the payment was not being paid for the last few months. The police took the CCTV
footage of the ATM, proximate to the railway-gate way, through which it has turned out to
be evident that four individuals were seen to have moved immediately just after the
deceased had gone. And accordingly, all the pieces of evidence along with other material
articles were sent to the court by the police.
SESSION TRIAL-
9. Thereafter, all the accused, except Havaldar plead not guilty before the court of session and
sought for trial. Havaldar is presented as the prosecution witness before the court by the
Prosecution Lawyer and the Court of Sessions framed the charges under Section 302, 326, 506,
and 509 of IPC and conceded the next date for the hearing.
