Ram Bharosey vs. State of Uttar Pradesh on 25 February, 1954

Ram had become divided from his father about 4 years due to the relations between the Ram Bharosey and his father were not cordial, that there were frequenty quarrels between them resulting in a partition as well as the differences continued even thereafter. Hence he was living apart in another house separated from his father by a gonad bitter feelings existed between Manna and his son Ram Bharosey since long thought in the house in which Manna also was living. 

One day in the early morning it was still dark, Ram was coming down the roof of his house.  He went inside the Bhusa Kothri. As soon as he came out of the Bhusa Kothri, he had a bath on the 'nabdan' after becoming naked. Later he wore the same dhoti which he was wearing before taking his bath. Then Manna and Kailasha were found dead lying amidst blood with multiple injuries on their bodies but the deceased had been murdered the night. The Ram Bhrosey was missing few day he was arrested while going to a village Gonda and brought back to Police Station that time he was wearing cloths dhoti which was blood-stained. On being interrogated by the Ram took him to his house, went into the 'bhusa kothri', brought out from it three silver ornaments, a taria a pachhela and kare, and a gandasa and delivered them to him. They were all blood-stained.

The ornaments, the taria, pachhela and kare by the Ram was evidence that he had committed murder, that that would at the most raise only a presumption that the Ram had committed theft of those ornaments, or he had received them after they were stolen with the knowledge that they were stolen and that it did not necessarily the inference that he had committed murder. The only evidence against Ram Bharosey is that the recovery of stolen property as well as thinking that the position may point to that the theft and the murder must have been committed at the similar time as well as it is not safe to pull the inferring that the person who is Ram Bharosey in possession of the stolen property was the murderer. There was no another circumstance to connect the Ram Bharosey with participation in the murder. The Court had to examine the facts and circumstances established and determine whether they are such as to fix the Ram with the guilt of murder.

The conclusion was that Ram firstly on the ground that inadmissible evidence had been admitted and that that had vitiated the finding and secondly on the ground that there had been miss direction in the judgement of certain pieces of evidence as well as on position state that they were not included there was not adequate legal evidence to convict the Ram Bharosey.

The Serologist reported that the blood on the pachhela had broken as well as could not be prove the identified that on the taria, kare and gandasa was human blood. The dhoti which the Ram Bharose was wearing at the time of his arrest was Blood-stained was proof that he had participated in the crime. Ram Bharosey could be convicted on purely circumstantial evidence, and that that could not be said of the bloodstains on the dhoti, because the Ram Bharosey told when examined under Section 342 of the Cr.P.C. that, affected with deep sorrow, then he fell on the dead body of his father hence the dhoti became blood-stained. The charge against the Ram Bharosey was that on the night of he murdered his father, Manna as well his stepmother, Kailasha. There was no clear as well as no direct evidence connecting him with the offence. The only question is whether the circumstantial evidence in the case is adequate to sustain the conviction according to of Indian Evidence Act.

The Ram Bharosey under Section 302, Indian Penal Code, and the Courts has held that evidence, though fact was adequate to convict him. This is an appeal against the judgment of the High Court of Allahabad. After confirming the conviction of the Ram Bharose under Section 302, Indian Penal Code as well as the sentence of death passed on him by the Sessions Court, Unnao.

The Supreme Court confirmed his conviction under Section 302, Indian Penal Code and the sentence of death passed on him, and dismissed the appeal.
