Penal Code, 1860–Secs. 302/34, 324, 323 & 341–Conviction–Reliability of prosecution case–It is not clear where the deceased was kept for 24 hours after he was examined at the primary health center and till he was admitted to Kanak Hospital–Prosecution failed to produce the convincing evidence to show that the injuries suffered by deceased were having direct nexus with his death–Intentional delay of 36 hours in registration of FIR–Prosecution withheld the initial report–Grave discrepancies in the name of the assailants–Unreliable evidence of eyewitnesses–Tainted investigation–Conviction deserves to be set aside.
