were put on trial and they were charged for the offences punishable under sections 302/149 of the Indian Penal Code and under sections 148, 380 of the Indian Penal Code. All 45 accused persons were charged for the offences punishable under sections 302/149, 148 and 380 of the Indian Penal Code. In order to prove the charges, the prosecution in course of trial, got examined, altogether, 12 witnesses and also got exhibited certain documents. The defence did not adduce any evidence. The statements of all the accused respondents were recorded under section 313 of the Cr.P.C in which they claimed their false implication. However, the learned trial court, having scrutinized the evidences available on the record, acquitted all the accused respondents of the charges passing impugned judgment of acquittal on the ground that the prosecution witnesses failed to prove the participation of the respondents in the alleged crime and the prosecution also failed to prove that the accused respondents had common object to commit the alleged crime.
