1.

The present Criminal Leave to appeal under Section 378 (iii)

& (I) Cr. P.C. has been preferred against the judgment dated

23.06.2016 passed by the Learned Sessions Judge, Bhilwara in

Sessions Case No.45/2012, whereby the accused has been

acquitted of the charges under Section 307 and 325 of IPC, while

convicted under Sections 452, 323 and 504 of the Indian Penal

Code.

2.

Briefly narrated facts of the case are that the complainant

Jadav lodged an F.I.R in Police Station Kotdi on 09.05.2012, that

accused Ram Prasad had been defaming her and slandering her

image in the society. On the fateful date of 21.04.2012 he entered

her house with a Lathi and started abusing and beating her, while

asserting that he would kill her.

3.

It was stated in the F.I.R that Ram Prasad had inflicted

various injuries, out of which some were grievous with an intent to

kill her.

4.

Trial Court had framed charges against the accused under

Sections 452, 325, 307 and 504 of IPC. After careful examination

of the evidence and witnesses, Trial Court had given a finding that

as far as allegations of injuries and abusing is concerned,

prosecution has proved the same. However, the nature of injuries

evident from the X-Ray report and medical report cannot be said

to be grievous, so as to bring them within the ambit of offences

punishable under Sections 307 and 325 of Indian Penal Code.

5.

In wake of the above finding, the Trial Court has acquitted

the accused of the charges under Sections 305 and 307 of IPC

whereas convicted him under Sections 452, 323 and 504 of the

Indian Penal Code. Neither the nature of injuries, nor the

statement and evidence on record prove that the accused had any

intentions or motive to inflict injuries with a view to kill the

complainant. The Trial Court aptly appreciated the evidence and

the order impugned is just and proper.

6.

Having considered the material available on record vis a vis

the order dated 23.06.2016 passed by the learned court below, I

do not find it to be a fit case for grant of leave to file an appeal.

7.

The application under Section 378 (iii) & (i) of Cr. P.C. is,

therefore, dismissed.
