IPC.

I have perused the judgments of the learned Magistrate as well as the learned Sessions Judge.

¶18

It appears that there are four eye-witnesses. Learned Magistrate has held that evidence of these witnesses are corroborative and no contradiction can be found, which can be called fatal. PW-5 has stated that he had seen the accused going to house of informant carrying sticks and iron rods and he had rescued informant and her family members from assault. PW-6 is the doctor who has stated that he examined PW-2 for sustaining fracture neck and had operated PW-2 and the injuries were grievous in nature. PW-7Doctor, who is a surgeon, has also stated that the nature of injuries are grievous. It appears from the record that there were enmity between the parties.

¶19

Considering the nature of evidence and gravity of the offence involved, in my view the case for grant for leave to Appeal is made out.

¶20

Application is allowed. Leave is granted. Office is directed to number the Appeal.

¶21

Appeal is admitted. Call for records and proceedings.
