Srinagar: J&K High Court recently sentenced a person to life imprisonment for killing his wife in 2012, citing big flaws in the investigation and was given the benefit of doubt.The Division Bench overturned the 2015 sentence by the Chief Sessions Judge of Udhampur, deciding that the prosecution case was filled with discrepancies, incredible evidence and procedural flaws.Mann Chand, a resident of Ramnagar in Jammu, was convicted under Section 302 of the Ranbir Penal Code, who was now-away for the murder of his wife Kanta Devi on the night of October 26-27 intervention in 2012. The prosecutors claimed that he was attacking with a bamboo stick and an additional relationship, and then with an additional magazine.The bench questioned the credibility of the evidence presented. The High Court said, “There were discrepancies about contradictions in the type of weapons used, nature of injuries and alleged weapons of crime.”Autopsy processes were also said in question. It was held at a private residence, with a doctor, witnesses and conflicting reasons presented by the investigating officer. The doctor was not shown the weapon of the alleged murder and the autopsy report was released 22 days after the examination. The bench said that he failed to explain how he remembered the specific wound details after such a delay.The court flagged off the discrepancies and witnesses at the crime site and discrepancies in police accounts in the time report of Chand’s arrest. It was also said that no evidence was presented to support Kanta Devi’s claim of alleged infidelity – the main basis of the prosecution’s purpose story.An important aspect ignored by the trial court, the bench said, the couple had the presence of a 2.5 -year -old son, who was reportedly faced to burn on his back. The judges wrote, “There was no attempt to consider that if the accused was present during the crime, he saved his son.”Quoting Aristotle, the bench commented: “A father will easily risk his life to save his child.” He criticized the trial court for failing to weigh this natural ancestral instinct.The bench allowed the appeal, separated the decision of the lower court and acquitted Chand from all the allegations. The order stated, “If in any other case is not necessary, it will be set with Liberty Fourth.”
