Criminal Trial–Recovery–Reliability–Death by falling in water tank–Recovery of ear studs from the accused–Only three small abrasions were seen on the left side of the ear of the deceased–If the golden ear-studs had been snatched by the accused while the deceased was alive then he would have definitely resisted the attempt and would certainly have significant injuries on both his ears in the process–It is not possible that the appellant would be in the position to push the deceased into the tank and then extract the golden studs from his ears after drowning him.
