    380/451/342/323 IPC. The case relates to an incident alleged to have taken place
    on 19.02.2004 at the first floor of property bearing No. 1665, Kucha Dakhni Rai,
    Darya Ganj, Delhi.

    2. Briefly stated, the case of the prosecution is that on 19.02.2004 at about 11:30
    a.m., accused Mayank Aggarwal, along with co-accused Anand Chaudhary,
    Shafiquddin, Wasid Siddiqui, Maqsood Khan and 3-4 other persons, went to the
    first floor of property No. 1665, Kucha Dakhni Rai, Darya Ganj, Delhi. It is
    alleged that they tried to break open the lock/door of a room, pushed aside the
    security guard Ramakant Mishra when he objected, wrongfully
    confined/obstructed complainant Smt. Renu Goyal by snatching keys, voluntarily
    caused hurt to her and removed articles such as chair, table, utensils, cycle etc.
    from the room.

    3. On the complaint of Smt. Renu Goyal, FIR was registered. Investigation was
    carried out. During investigation, statement of witnesses were recorded, site plan
    was prepared, complainant was medically examined, and certain documents
    relating to the property transaction were also collected. After completion of
    investigation, final report was filed before the Court.

    4. Cognizance was taken. After compliance of Section 207 CrPC, charge was
    framed against the accused on 04.05.2013 for the offences punishable under
    Sections 380/451/342/323 IPC. The substance of the charge was read over and
    explained to the accused in vernacular. The accused pleaded not guilty and claimed
    trial.

    5. During trial, accused admitted the genuineness, not contents, of copy of FIR Ex.
    AD-1, endorsement on rukka Ex. AD-2, MLC of complainant Renu Goyal Ex.
    AD-3 and DD No. 46-B entry Ex. AD-4. Accordingly, formal witnesses qua said

    RAJ Digitally
    KUMAR signed by
    RAJ KUMAR
    SINGH SINGH
    documents were dropped from the list of witnesses. It is, however, settled that
    admission of genuineness of a document under Section 294 CrPC only dispenses
    with formal proof of such document. It does not amount to admission of truth of all
    contents of the document, nor does it dispense with proof of disputed facts
    constituting the offence.

    PROSECUTION EVIDENCE

    6. The prosecution examined five witnesses.

    7. PW1 Smt. Renu Goyal is the complainant and the most material witness of the
    prosecution. In her examination-in-chief, she deposed that her father-in-law Late
    Sh. Laxmi Narayan was owner of property No. 1665, Kucha Dakhni Rai, Darya
    Ganj, Delhi. According to her, after death of her father-in-law, her husband used to
    look after the said property. She deposed that in the year 2001, Shafiquddin and his
    associates tried to grab the property and cases were instituted regarding the same.

    8. PW1 further deposed that in February 2004, while she was present at the said
    property, at around 12 noon, Anand Chaudhary, Shafiquddin, Masood, Wasid and
    Mayank Aggarwal along with 3-4 persons came to the first floor of the house and
    tried to break open the door of a room. Her guard Ramakant Mishra tried to stop
    them but the accused persons pushed him. After hearing noise, she came from the
    second floor to the first floor. There was a channel gate at the entrance between
    first and second floor and while she was opening the channel gate, Anand
    Chaudhary snatched the key, caught hold of her and gave a fist blow on her
    stomach. She identified accused Mayank Aggarwal in Court and deposed that the
    accused persons abused her and took chair, table, utensils, cycle etc. from the
    room. She proved her complaint Ex. PW1/A, site plan Ex. PW1/B and
    arrest/personal search memos of certain co-accused.

    9. In leading questions put by Ld. APP, PW1 stated that on 13.02.2004 the accused
    side had demanded possession of the property from her husband; that on
    14.02.2004 she and her family started residing there and a security guard was
    deployed; and that on 19.02.2004 at about 11:30 a.m. the above accused persons,
    along with Mayank Aggarwal and 3-4 other persons, came to the first floor.

    10. The cross-examination of PW1 assumes significance. She was recalled for
    cross-examination under Section 348 BNSS/Section 311 CrPC and was cross-
    examined on 10.10.2025. In cross-examination, she stated that she knew accused
    Mayank Aggarwal as son of their previous tenant. She denied that the tenanted
    premises was in possession of accused Mayank Aggarwal and volunteered that
    accused Mayank Aggarwal was never their tenant. She did not remember whether
    her family had filed any suit for possession/eviction against the father of the
    accused or against the accused.

    11. PW1 further stated in cross-examination that on the date of alleged incident,
    there were 7-8 persons including Anand Chaudhary, Shafiquddin, Masood Khan
    and Wasid who came to the premises. She was confronted with her statement
    under Section 161 CrPC on the aspect that names of only three persons were
    mentioned at the relevant portion. She also did not remember whether there was
    any dispute regarding the property with Shafiquddin and associates, and was
    confronted with her police statement where the dispute since 2001 was mentioned.

    12. PW1 specifically admitted that only accused Anand Chaudhary hit her and
    tried to snatch the key. She denied the suggestion that the key snatched by Anand
    Chaudhary was in respect of the share of her sister-in-law which had already been
    sold to Anand Chaudhary and volunteered that the property was undivided. She did
    not remember who made the PCR call, the name of IO, by which mode she went to

    State vs Mayank Agarwal FIR No. 83/2004 PS Darya Ganj Page 4 of 17
    RAJ Digitally
    KUMAR signed by
    RAJ KUMAR
    SINGH SINGH
    the hospital, within how much time she reached the hospital, or on how many
    documents the IO obtained her signatures. She initially stated that no accused
    persons were arrested in her presence, but on being confronted with arrest and
    personal search memos, she admitted her signatures thereon. She did not remember
    whether IO prepared any site plan. She denied that Mayank Aggarwal was not
    present, denied false implication, denied that nothing was stolen, and denied that
    she did not sustain injuries.

    13. PW2 Smt. Seema Goyal deposed that her late husband Vinod Goyal had a
    share in the property. She stated in chief that one big hall at the first floor had
    come to her share and on 14.01.2004 she sold her property to Anand Chaudhary,
    but actual physical possession was not given to him. She stated that some
    household articles such as bed, dining table, sofa etc. were lying on the said floor.

    14. In cross-examination, PW2 admitted that accused Mayank Aggarwal was
    residing at property No. 1665, Kucha Dakhni Rai. She admitted that she sold her
    share, i.e. one hall-type room at the first floor, along with all household articles.
    She also admitted that no quarrel took place in her presence; that she did not make
    any complaint against accused Mayank Aggarwal before police or any authority;
    and that she never went to the police station. In re-examination by Ld. APP, she
    stated that as far as she knew, accused Mayank Aggarwal was residing at the
    property as tenant, and that she had given statement to the IO Ex. PW2/A.

    15. PW3 Sh. Anil Aggarwal is brother of PW2 Seema Goyal. He deposed that
    after death of Vinod Goyal, there was dispute regarding share in the property
    among heirs of Late Sh. Laxmi Narayan. His sister Seema sold her undivided share
    in the property to family members of her in-laws and after selling the share,
    possession of her portion was handed over to the purchaser. In cross-examination,

    State vs Mayank Agarwal FIR No. 83/2004 PS Darya Ganj Page 5 of 17
    RAJ Digitally
    KUMAR signed by
    RAJ KUMAR
    SINGH SINGH
    he admitted that after selling the portion of property, the articles lying in the house
    were also handed over to the person who purchased the property, except personal
    effects of his sister.

    16. PW4 Retd. Inspector Lekhraj Singh was the first IO. He deposed that on
    19.02.2004, he received DD No. 46-B regarding house trespass at property No.
    1665, Kucha Dakhni Rai. He reached the spot with ASI Abdul Qadir and Ct.
    Sanjeev. At the spot, he met complainant Renu Goyal and also found Safikuddin,
    Wasid Siddiqui, Maqsood Khan and Anand Chaudhary present. He recorded
    statement of complainant Ex. PW1/A, prepared rukka Ex. PW4/A, got FIR
    registered, prepared site plan Ex. PW1/B, arrested the persons found at the spot
    and got complainant medically examined through W/Ct. Anusuya.

    17. PW4 further deposed that he searched the spot, however, no item was found to
    be stolen. Chance prints were not collected as the property was full of dust. He
    recorded statements of tenants Renu Singh and Sanjay Singh and also recorded
    statement of Seema Goyal and her brother. He also deposed that during
    investigation, it was learnt that Seema Goyal had sold the property to Anand
    Chaudhary. He searched for Anand Chaudhary and Mayank Aggarwal, but no clue
    was found. In cross-examination, he stated that he had not recorded the statement
    of guard Ramakant Mishra as he was not found during investigation and was
    neither produced by complainant nor were his whereabouts disclosed.

    18. PW5 Inspector Rajesh Malhotra was the second IO. He deposed that on
    15.02.2005, he contacted Anand Chaudhary and interrogated him. Anand
    Chaudhary produced one photocopy of sale deed and one possession letter of
    property No. 1665, first floor, which were seized vide memo Ex. PW5/A. PW5
    further deposed that he interrogated accused Mayank Aggarwal, made inquiries

    SINGH KUMAR
    SINGH
    from witnesses of sale deed and possession letter, prepared site plan Ex. PW5/B
    and filed final report. In cross-examination, PW5 admitted that he had filed final
    report under Section 169 CrPC as no sufficient evidence had come during
    investigation.

    STATEMENT OF ACCUSED AND DEFENCE EVIDENCE

    19. After closure of prosecution evidence, statement of accused was recorded
    under Section 313 CrPC read with Section 281 CrPC/Section 316 BNSS read with
    Section 351 BNSS. The accused denied all incriminating circumstances. His
    defence was that he was innocent and falsely implicated due to long-standing
    property disputes and prior civil litigation. He denied being part of any unlawful
    group, denied abusing or pushing anyone, denied snatching any key, denied
    assault, denied removal of articles and denied sharing common intention with any
    other person.

    20. The accused opted to lead defence evidence. He examined himself as DW1
    under Section 315 CrPC, was cross-examined and discharged. Thereafter, defence
    evidence was closed.

    FINAL ARGUMENTS

    21. Ld. APP for the State argued that PW1 has supported the prosecution case,
    identified the accused in Court and proved the incident. It was submitted that the
    medical examination of PW1, prompt reporting, DD entry and the testimony of IOs
    support the prosecution version. It was further submitted that the accused was
    present with the group and is liable with the aid of common intention.

    22. Per contra, Ld. Defence Counsel argued that the case is a result of property
    dispute. It was submitted that no stolen article was recovered, the property was

    SINGH
    already subject matter of sale/possession dispute, PW2 and PW3 do not support the
    prosecution on material particulars, the guard Ramakant Mishra was not examined,
    independent witnesses were not examined, and PW1 herself attributed the act of
    assault/key-snatching only to Anand Chaudhary. It was further argued that Mayank
    Aggarwal’s specific role is not proved beyond reasonable doubt.

    INGREDIENTS OF OFFENCE

    23. To prove offence under Section 380 IPC, prosecution must prove commission
    of theft of movable property from a building used as human dwelling or for
    custody of property. Theft requires dishonest moving of movable property out of
    possession of another person without that person’s consent.

    24. To prove offence under Section 451 IPC, prosecution must prove house-
    trespass committed in order to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment.
    Thus, proof of criminal trespass, house-trespass and the necessary criminal intent is
    essential.

    25. To prove offence under Section 342 IPC, prosecution must prove wrongful
    confinement, i.e. wrongful restraint of a person in such a manner as to prevent that
    person from proceeding beyond certain circumscribed limits.

    26. To prove offence under Section 323 IPC, prosecution must prove that hurt was
    voluntarily caused by the accused. Hurt includes bodily pain, disease or infirmity.

    27. Where prosecution relies upon Section 34 IPC, it must prove that the criminal
    act was done by several persons in furtherance of common intention of all.
    Common intention can be inferred from conduct and surrounding circumstances
    and can develop on the spot, but it must be proved from evidence and cannot be
    presumed merely from presence.

                                APPRECIATION OF EVIDENCE
    
    

    28. At the outset, it may be observed that the present case arises out of a property
    dispute. The Court is not required to decide title or civil rights over the property.
    However, the nature of the property dispute is relevant to appreciate whether the
    prosecution has proved the criminal offences charged against the accused beyond
    reasonable doubt.

    29. PW1 Renu Goyal is certainly an important witness. Her evidence cannot be
    discarded merely because she is the complainant. A conviction can rest on
    testimony of a single witness if such testimony is found reliable and inspires
    confidence. At the same time, where the case is rooted in a property dispute and
    the role of the accused is alleged collectively with several other persons, the Court
    must carefully examine whether the testimony establishes the specific ingredients
    of the charged offences.

    30. PW1 has supported the broad prosecution case that there was an incident at the
    first floor of property No. 1665 on 19.02.2004 and that persons from the opposite
    side came there. She has also identified Mayank Aggarwal in Court. Her
    testimony, to that extent, supports the prosecution case that some altercation or
    dispute did occur at the spot.

    31. However, the crucial question is not merely whether some quarrel took place.
    The question is whether the prosecution has proved beyond reasonable doubt that
    accused Mayank Aggarwal committed theft, house-trespass, wrongful confinement
    and voluntarily caused hurt, either individually or in furtherance of common
    intention.

                                                                             RAJ     Digitally

                                                                             SINGH   SINGH

     Section 380 IPC
    
    

    32. As regards Section 380 IPC, PW1 stated that the accused persons took away
    chair, table, utensils, cycle etc. from the room. However, the evidence on this
    aspect remains general and unparticularised. The alleged stolen articles have not
    been specifically identified by description, ownership, value or any other distinct
    feature. No stolen article was recovered from accused Mayank Aggarwal or at his
    instance.

    33. The testimony of PW4, the first IO, materially affects the charge of theft. PW4
    specifically stated that the spot was searched but no item was found to be stolen.
    This is not a minor circumstance. It goes directly to the foundation of the offence
    under Section 380 IPC.

    34. Further, PW2 admitted that she had sold her share, i.e. one hall-type room at
    the first floor, along with household articles. PW3 also admitted that after sale of
    the portion of property, the articles lying in the house were handed over to the
    person who purchased the property, except personal effects of his sister. PW5 also
    proved that during investigation, photocopy of sale deed and possession letter were
    seized from Anand Chaudhary.

    35. In view of these circumstances, the prosecution has not been able to establish
    beyond reasonable doubt that any identified movable property was dishonestly
    removed out of the possession of complainant by accused Mayank Aggarwal.
    Suspicion regarding removal of articles in the course of a property dispute cannot
    take the place of proof of theft.

    36. Therefore, offence under Section 380 IPC is not proved against accused
    Mayank Aggarwal.

                                                                               RAJ     Digitally

     Section 451 IPC
    
    

    37. For Section 451 IPC, prosecution must prove not only entry into property but
    also that such entry amounted to house-trespass with intent to commit an offence
    punishable with imprisonment.

    38. PW1 deposed that accused Mayank Aggarwal came with other persons to the
    first floor and they tried to break open the door of a room. This part of her
    testimony supports the prosecution to some extent. However, the surrounding
    evidence creates doubt regarding exclusive possession and criminal intent.

    39. PW2 herself stated that she had sold her share in the first floor portion to
    Anand Chaudhary, though in chief she added that actual physical possession was
    not given. In cross-examination, she admitted that she sold her share along with all
    household articles. PW3 went further and stated that possession of the portion sold
    by Seema Goyal was handed over to the purchaser and articles lying in the house
    were also handed over. PW5 seized sale/possession documents from Anand
    Chaudhary during investigation.

    40. These facts show that the incident occurred in the backdrop of an existing and
    serious dispute regarding possession and entitlement over the first floor portion.
    This by itself does not wipe out criminal liability if the offence is otherwise
    proved. However, in the present case, it does create a reasonable doubt regarding
    the nature of entry and the criminal intent attributed to Mayank Aggarwal.

    41. The specific role of Mayank Aggarwal in breaking open the lock or forcibly
    entering the room is also not clearly proved. PW1 named him in chief and
    identified him in Court, but in cross-examination, while narrating the persons who
    came on the date of incident, she named Anand Chaudhary, Shafiquddin, Masood
    Khan and Wasid. She was also confronted with her earlier statement regarding
    State vs Mayank Agarwal FIR No. 83/2004 PS Darya Ganj Page 11 of 17
    RAJ Digitally
    signed by
    KUMAR RAJ KUMAR
    SINGH SINGH
    names of only three persons at one place. PW4 stated that when he reached the
    spot, he found other co-accused present but not Mayank Aggarwal; rather, he later
    searched for Mayank Aggarwal but no clue was found.

    42. Thus, though there is evidence of dispute and altercation, the prosecution has
    not proved beyond reasonable doubt that accused Mayank Aggarwal committed
    house-trespass with the requisite criminal intent. The offence under Section 451
    IPC is therefore not proved.

    Section 342 IPC

    43. The prosecution allegation regarding wrongful confinement is founded on the
    alleged snatching of keys at the channel gate between the first and second floor.
    PW1 deposed that when she was opening the channel gate, Anand Chaudhary
    snatched the keys, caught hold of her and gave a fist blow on her stomach.

    44. However, for Section 342 IPC, prosecution must prove that PW1 was
    wrongfully confined within circumscribed limits and prevented from proceeding
    beyond those limits. The evidence does not clearly establish the place of
    confinement, duration of confinement, manner of release, or any act by Mayank
    Aggarwal in confining PW1.

    45. PW1 herself stated in cross-examination that the quarrel took place on the
    stairs. Her evidence proves, at the highest, a quarrel and snatching of keys by
    Anand Chaudhary. It does not prove wrongful confinement by Mayank Aggarwal.
    There is also no independent corroboration from the guard Ramakant Mishra or
    other persons allegedly present.

    46. Accordingly, Section 342 IPC is not proved against accused Mayank
    Aggarwal.

    Section 323 IPC

    47. PW1 stated that Anand Chaudhary caught hold of her and gave a fist blow on
    her stomach and that she sustained injury in her finger. Her medical examination is
    supported by MLC Ex. AD-3, admitted as to genuineness by the accused. The
    MLC supports the fact that she was medically examined after the incident.

    48. However, the MLC by itself does not prove who caused the injury. The identity
    and role of the person causing hurt must still be proved by oral or other evidence.
    PW1 specifically admitted in cross-examination that only accused Anand
    Chaudhary hit her and tried to snatch the key. No specific act of assault is
    attributed to accused Mayank Aggarwal.

    49. The prosecution therefore relies on common intention. However, to fasten
    liability on Mayank Aggarwal with the aid of Section 34 IPC, prosecution had to
    prove that he shared common intention with the person who caused hurt. The
    evidence does not satisfactorily establish such common intention. There is no
    proved overt act of Mayank Aggarwal in causing hurt. His presence itself is
    doubtful to the extent discussed above, and the case is admittedly surrounded by a
    property dispute. Mere naming of Mayank Aggarwal as one of the persons
    accompanying the group, without clear proof of his active participation or shared
    intention to cause hurt, is insufficient for conviction under Section 323 IPC with
    the aid of Section 34 IPC.

    50. Therefore, Section 323 IPC is also not proved beyond reasonable doubt against
    accused Mayank Aggarwal.

    Non-examination of material witnesses

    51. It is true that no particular number of witnesses is required for proof of a fact.
    Non-examination of every cited witness is not automatically fatal. However, in the
    present case, the non-examination of certain material witnesses assumes
    importance.

    52. The security guard Ramakant Mishra was allegedly the first person who tried
    to stop the accused persons and was allegedly pushed. He was a material
    eyewitness, but he was not examined. PW4 stated that he did not record his
    statement as he was neither found nor produced by the complainant and his
    whereabouts were not disclosed.

    53. Other witnesses such as tenants/local witnesses were either not examined,
    dropped, or became unavailable. In an ordinary case, the testimony of complainant
    alone may be sufficient. But here, where the incident is connected with an old
    property dispute and where the role of Mayank Aggarwal is not individually clear,
    absence of such material corroboration creates a reasonable doubt.

    CUMULATIVE APPRECIATION

    54. On cumulative appreciation, the prosecution has been able to show that a
    dispute and altercation took place at property No. 1665, Kucha Dakhni Rai, Darya
    Ganj on 19.02.2004. PW1 has named and identified Mayank Aggarwal. The DD
    entry and MLC support prompt reporting and medical examination of the
    complainant.

    55. However, criminal conviction requires proof beyond reasonable doubt of the
    specific offences charged. The evidence in the present case falls short of that
    standard. The allegation of theft is not supported by recovery or clear proof of
    dishonest removal of identified property. The charge of house-trespass is weakened
    by the admitted sale/possession dispute and absence of clear proof of criminal

    intent qua Mayank Aggarwal. Wrongful confinement is not established in the
    manner required by law. Hurt to PW1 may be supported by medical evidence, but
    the act of assault/key-snatching is specifically attributed to Anand Chaudhary and
    common intention of Mayank Aggarwal is not proved beyond reasonable doubt.

    56. The Court is conscious that minor discrepancies due to passage of time should
    not defeat a genuine prosecution case. At the same time, the present FIR is of the
    year 2004 and the evidence must still satisfy the legal standard required for
    conviction. The benefit of every reasonable doubt arising from the evidence must
    go to the accused.

    FINDING

    57. In view of the above discussion, this Court holds that the prosecution has failed
    to prove the offences punishable under Sections 380/451/342/323 IPC against
    accused Mayank Aggarwal beyond reasonable doubt.

    58. Accordingly, accused Mayank Aggarwal is acquitted of the offences
    punishable under Sections 380/451/342/323 IPC.
