DAY 7
25/11/2022
Court of Sh. Rajnish bhatnagar ,session judge ,rohini (delhi)
Case title- Attar singh v. pratap singh
Case type- Criminal Complaint u/s 323, 341, 506, 34 I.P.C.
Description:
We appeared from the side of accused and one complainant witness was examined by the Court.
The witness was calling himself ‘Independent-Eye witness’ of the incident but during the
course of examination, as the Presiding Officer started noting down the statement, witness
started going off-road and stated such things which were against him.
From the side of complainant, Sh. Raman Sardana, Advocate appeared and from the side of
accused, Sh. B.S. Parihar, Advocate appeared.
Some questions were asked which were pertaining to the case but almost all questions were
just to bully over the witness and to put witness into pressure. From the way of questioning,
the case theory on which the final arguments of case were rested, was clearly manifesting from
the questions. Non-leading questions were put to witness which gave room for that witness to
explain the contradictions and on some questions which were highly incriminating in nature,
Judge objected on those questions. Manner of fencing the witness was very bad. Without
completing one question, another question was asked. Very material contradictions to discredit
the version of witness were brought on the record during the examination and in that course,
witness started feeling un-well and the case was adjourned to 04/01/2023.
DAY 8
26/11/2022
Description:
Criminal Complaint was filed by complainant in which accused were summoned by the Court
and in 2019, accused were convicted and accused filed appeal in Sessions Court. Accused were
discharged u/s 392 IPC. Hence, complainant filed criminal revision against the conviction order
for enhancement of sentence.
Very lengthy arguments were addressed by the counsels from both sides.
The structure of arguments of counsel for appellant was not good. At outsell, he started with
his request to set aside the conviction order because that is bad in eye of law. Thereafter,
counsel directly jumped towards the final submission without narrating the factual matrix of
case. Much reliance was placed on the judgments rather than the factual complexity and the
provision of Law itself.
No sound case theory was put forth by counsel of appellant and during the course of arguments,
the counsel of appellant was swaying from one side of stand to another with holding papers in
his hands.
The counsel of complainant also emphasised on the maintainability of sentence and also
enhancement of sentence. However, not plausible arguments were addressed. The facts were
projected in nice and lucid manner but the law point was not in much favor of complainant.
Resultantly, Judge dismissed the appeal filed against conviction and the revision filed by the
complainant and directed the accused to undergo the sentence already imposed.
DAY 10
29/11/2022
Apart from the factual explanation, very stitched arguments were also addressed by the learned
counsel for accused and ultimately, complainant failed to prove the guilt of accused beyond
reasonable doubt and the

Research Question: To understand the scope of “per incuriam” doctrine and how it has
been utilized by common law courts in England and U.S. and how it has been
enunciated by Supreme court of India by understanding the application of “per
incuriam” doctrine? Researcher today analyzed the doctrine as per the concept applied
by courts in India in cases like- Philip Jeyasingh v. The Joint Registrar, Rashmi Rekha
Thatoi & Anr v.s State of Orissa & Ors, Sibnath Koley And Ors. v. State Of West
Bengal And Ors, Official Liquidator v. Dayanand and Others, where it is concluded
that the decisions of the Court of Appeal upon questions of law must be followed by
Divisional Courts and Courts of first instance, and as a general rule, are binding on the
Court of Appeal until a contrary determination has been arrived at by the House of
Lords.
