Mahendra Singh vs The State of Rajasthan

Narendra Kumar Jain-II, J.—Heard the learned counsel for the parties and after considering their submissions, we find that there is direct evidence of last seen against co-accused Leelaram and Rakesh. So far as present accused-appellant is concerned, there is evidence against him for recovery of the vehicle. Therefore, we find that the case of present appellant is distinguishable from the case of co-accused persons namely, Leelaram and Rakesh, however, without expressing any opinion on the merits and demerits of the case, we are inclined to allow the application and the same is hereby allowed. It is, therefore, directed that sentence of imprisonment of accused-appellant Mahendra Singh S/o Devaram, R/o Dayal Ka Nagala, P.S.
