trees. They all have admitted in their cross-examination that after two to three days, there was new moon night meaning thereby that moon, if any, at the night of the incident, was having slender crescent. Prosecution witnesses further admitted that there was no municipal light or street lights near the place of the incident. This evidence, as such, indicates that source of light available on the spot was the electric bulbs burning outside the houses of the residents of the agriculture field. What was the power of those electric bulbs is not clarified by the prosecution witnesses. Existence of four big trees apart from standing sugarcane crop was certainly obstructing moon light on the spot of the incident. The robbers, as stated by P.W.No.1 Yashwant, had covered their foreheads with handkerchiefs. The assault was all of a sudden when the prosecution witnesses were sleeping in the night. The incident, as such, had created shock and terror in the mind of prosecution witnesses, who were subjected to assault while they were sleeping in the night. As admitted by these prosecution witnesses, they were frightened and not understanding anything when the incident took place. The prosecution witnesses have not spoken about the period or span of time which was taken by the robbers for robbing them of their valuables.
