When both the accused were examined u/s. 313(1)(b) of Cr.P.C. as incriminating evidence against them and read over to them, they denied the same as false and further stated that they have witness to be examined on their side. On the side of the 1st accused, Dr.Ravikumar examined as DW1 through him Ex.D1 and Ex.D2 documents were marked.
08. Point for determination :-
Whether the prosecution has proved their case against the accused 1 and 2 beyond all reasonable doubt or not, is the question to be decided in this case?
09. Point for consideration:
The learned Additional City Public Prosecutor argued that the
prosecution witnesses PW1 to PW18 and the Investigation Officer and the eye witnesses deceased Mani’s wife PW1 and his brother’s wife Mannubhai PW3, narrated about the above said occurrence was happened and other prosecution witnesses and Doctors’ evidence proved. The charges against both the accused U/s.302 and 302 r/w 34 IPC have been proved beyond all reasonable doubt by producing cogent and convincing evidence and proved the guilt of both the accused beyond reasonable doubt and he prayed the court to found guilty and punish both the accused by awarding maximum punishment.
10. On the contrary, the learned counsel for the 1st accused has argued
that the above said occurrence was not took place and the accused was not involved in the above said offence and the 1st accused is falsely implicated in this case. On the date of occurrence, the 1st accused has got injuries in his eyes and he admitted in the Egmore Eye Hospital. In this regard, he has given a police complaint and registered the FIR No.416/2014 dated 25.04.2014 and the same is marked as Ex.D1. The Doctor, who treated the 1st accused was examined as DW1 through him the Accident Register marked as Ex.D2. Further argued that, there is no progress in the above case.
11. The learned counsel for the 2nd accused has argued that the 2nd
accused name is not found in the complaint as well as in the FIR. The prosecution witnesses PW1 did not depose about 2nd accused. The Accident Register Ex.P12 shows that the deceased Mani allegedly assaulted by one known person. The Doctor PW16 deposed that deceased Mani was attacked by one known person. On comparison of Accident Register and FIR, the 2nd accused did not involve in the offence. PW4 and PW5 hearsay witnesses did not depose about the 2nd accused. PW 7 and PW8 eyewitness turned hostile. There is lot of discrepancies found in the evidence of PW7, PW8 and PW9 in respect of recording the confessional statement of both the accused and the material objects have not been collected in the presence of the accused after recording the same. The prosecution has not proved the charges against the accused. Hence, it is argued that the 2nd accused did not involved in the offence and he prayed to acquit the 2nd accused.
12. Point for consideration:-
According to the prosecution, the deceased Mani was working as an
acting driver with 1st accused Kutty @ Manohar, who is doing Real estate business, having office at Model School Road and he had not paid payment properly and when the deceased Mani demanded wages to the 1st Accused on 24.04.2014 at about 6.15pm the deceased with his wife had gone to the 1st Accused Kutty’s office left his wife outside and asked the 1st accused for arrears of payment, when the 1st accused slapped Mani on his cheek at the entrance of the office, Mani’s wife immediately ran to that side and said “Don’t hit him, he is old man” but the 1st Accused did not listen to her words instead he said ” I wanting for you to get trapped alone, and today you were caught exactly” and also, he hit him on the cheek and grabbed his head by the hair and forcibly hitting his head against the wall of the accused office, and took the Scorpio car key from his pocket and punched the deceased in his jaw and call his friend A2 Santhosh Gnanakumar who was inside his office. Santhosh Gnanakumar who came out and removed the hand protection from his right hand and punched the deceased in the face along with 1st Accused, both of them joined forces and attacked him with loudly saying you die with this, the deceased Mani was bleeding from his head and mouth. The PW-1 with the help of her relatives took her husband, who was fighting for his life in a flood of blood, to Royapettah Government Hospital. Then as per the doctor’s recommendation, he was taken to Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital from there, where the Doctor in the emergency ward examined Mani and said that he was already dead.
13. The prosecution has examined 4 witnesses as eyewitnesses, who are PW1 Vasantha, PW2 Baskar, PW3 Mannubhai, and Saravanan. The wife of
deceased Mani examined as PW1 and she deposed that her husband was working as an acting driver to the 1st accused Kutty @ Manoharan and the accused did not give payment to her husband. On 24.04.2014 at about evening 6.00 p.m., in order to get the money from the 1st accused, the deceased Mani along with his wife went to the office of the 1st accused. She deposed that, she saw both the accused slapped
Mani on his cheeks and pushed him outside from the office. The 1st accused Kutty
@ Manohar grabbed her husband’s hair and forcibly hitting his head against the wall and when she shouted aloud the neighbours of the shop named Saravanan, Baskar, a person from the puff’s shop came to the place. Her husband’s brother’s sons Suresh and Mohan rushed there and took Mani to Royapettah Government Hospital and from there they took him to Government General Hospital. She further deposed that there the doctors declared that her husband was died. In this regard She gave complaint Ex.P-1.to Thousand lights police station. PW1 is the eye witness, who has seen the occurrence directly. But she has omitted to mention the 2nd accused name in the complaint due to nervousness of the occurrence.
14. On the basis of the complaint, the Investigating Officer PW18
registered the FIR Ex.P14 in Crime No.415/2014 u/s. 302 IPC as against the 1st accused. The 2nd accused name is not found in the complaint as well as in the FIR. The Investigating Officer PW18 took the case on hand for investigation and immediately, went to the occurrence place on 24.04.2014 at about 09.30 .p.m. and visited the occurrence place in the presence of the witnesses Mohamed Izath PW6 and Selvakumar and prepared a observation mahazar Ex.P12 and draft a sketch Ex.P15 in the presence of the above witnesses and he had seized the blood-stained cement area M.O.3 and blood – unstained cement area M.O.4 from the occurrence place in the presence of the above said witnesses. The seizure mahazar is marked as Ex.P3.
15. The deceased brother’s wife PW3 Mannubhai, deposed in her
evidence that, her brother in law was working as an acting driver to the accused
Kutty @ Manoharan and for work the accused had to give money to her brother in law. But Kutty @ Manoharan did not give money to her brother in law even after asking several times. She further deposed that on 24.04.2014 at around 6.10 pm when she went to a shop near Kutty @ Manoharan’s office she found Mrs.Vasantha screaming not to beat him. When she asked Vasantha regarding that she told that about the payment dispute. She deposed that Kutty @ Manoharan grabbed her brother in laws hair and forcibly hitting his head against the wall and he stabbed the upper right jaw of the neck with a car key. At that time, Kutty @ Manoharan screamed “that’s it, you are finished” and his friend accused Santhosh stabbed Mani’s jaw with the Kaapu worn on his hand. She and Vasantha screamed but no one stopped the accused. At that time, a person running the puff’s shop nearby came, the opposite shop owner Santhanam, Telephone shop owner Baskar and Saravanan were there. Blood came from Mani’s mouth and head and blood stains on the wall. She informed her two sons about the incident over phone. Immediately, they came and took Mani to the Royapettah Government Hospital and for further treatment he was sent to Rajiv Gandhi Government General
Hospital. There the doctors stated that Mani was died. She knows the 1st accused Kutty @ Manohar. She identified the blood stained Kappu and she deposed that the above said Kaapu worn by the 2nd accused Santhosh Gnanakumar at the time of occurrence and the blood stained gold Kaapu is marked as M.O-1. She deposed that the 1st accused Kutty @ Manoharan stabbed her brother in law with that blood stained key at the time of occurrence and identified the blood stained Key which is marked as M.O-2.
16. The counsel for the 2nd accused argued that in the Accident Register Ex.P12 shows that the deceased Mani allegedly assaulted by one known person.
The Doctor PW16 deposed that deceased Mani was attacked by one known person. On comparison of Accident Register and FIR, the 2nd accused did not involve in the offence. On the other hand, PW3 Mannubhai seen the occurrence and she is direct eyewitness. Likewise, the complainant PW1 also directly saw the occurrence when the 2nd accused hit the Mani through his Kappu. But, due to shock and nervousness PW1 omitted to mention the name of the 2nd accused in the complaint. The hearsay witness Suresh PW4 only brought the victim Mani to the Hospital and informed the same to the Doctor. He is not eyewitness. Therefore, he omitted to mention howmany persons involved in this occurrence is not fatal to the prosecution.
The counsel for the 1st accused argued that, PW3 was not in the place
occurrence at the time of incident happened and further argued that, PW1 was not deposed about the presence of PW3 in the occurrence place. PW3 Mannubhai is residing in Door No.58, Model School Road, Thousand Light, Chennai, and the occurrence also took place in the office address of the 1st accused at Door No.60, Model School Road, Thousand Lights, Chennai. PW5 Kumar deposed in his cross examination that @ vjpupfs; moj;jij vd; mk;kh ghu;j;Js;shu;/ vd; bgupak;kh kz;qgha[k; bkhli; l khoapy; ,Ue;J rk;gtj;ij neupy; ghu;j;Js;shu;/ @ The PW3’s house and the occurrence place are adjacent. PW3 in her house upstairs she seen the occurrence and immediately she rushed out to the occurrence place and directly seen the occurrence. Therefore, PW3 is the direct eyewitness and her evidence is cogent and she corroborated the incident as per the evidence of PW1.
17. The counsel for the accused objected that both PW1 and PW3 are the
relatives of the deceased Mani hence their evidence could not be reliable and accepted. In this regard, both witnesses deposed that at the time of occurrence, they have shouted neighbour shop owners Saravanan, Baskar, Santhanam, Palani were present and they have seen the occurrence. The eye witness PW2 Baskar, and the confession and seizure witnesses PW7 Palani and PW8 Santhanam,
PW9 Simal, they have identified both accused and deposed that A-1 is running the real estate office at Model School Road and stated that on 24.04.2014 there was dispute at the place of occurrence who are turned hostile. In the presence of them, both the accused did not give confession and case property was not seized. Even though, they have turned hostile, they are narrated that on 24.04.2014 there was a dispute between the 1st accused and the deceased Mani and they fighting each other and public surrounded there. Witness Saravanan was not examined on the side of the prosecution. The case properties Kappu and Scorpio Car Keys are involved in the commission of the offence. That has been seen by PW1 and PW3.
18. The deceased Mani’s son PW 5 Kumar and Mani’s brother’s son PW4 are the hearsay witnesses. The PW3 witness Mannubhai informed the incident to the PW4 Suresh, subsequently he informed the same to the PW5 Kumar. PW4 after getting information, he rushed to the spot and he saw his uncle Mani in a blood pool, his right jaw and cheek had bleeding, wound/hole from being stabbed by something. Immediately, he took Mani in an Auto and went to Royapettah
Government Hospital but Mani was unconscious, later he took him to Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital, there Doctor declared Mani was died.
Likewise, PW5 Kumar deposed that after getting information that his
father died due to assault of the accused, he went to the hospital, he saw his father’s mouth area was torn from being hit by the bangle (Kaapu) and his entire face was covered with blood with a mark from the key stab and it looks like dangerous. He further deposed that when he went to the place of occurrence there was blood dripping on the wall near the entrance of A1 accused Kutty @ Manoharan’s office.
PW5 Kumar (deceased son) deposed that @vd; mg;ghtpd; Kfj;jpy; tisaj;jhy; moj;jjpy; tha; gFjp fpHpe;jpUe;jJ/ Kfk; KGtJk; ,uj;jkhf rhtpahy; Fj;jpa milahsk; ,Ue;jJ/ kpft[k; bfhL:ukhf ,Ue;jJ/ @
Eventhough PW4 and PW5 were hearsay witnesses they have cogently
corroborated the incident and took the Mani to the Hospital for the first aid treatment but Doctor revealed that Mani already died.
19. Royapettah Government Hospital, Dr. Karthick PW.16 deposed in
his evidence that on 24.04.2014 at 6:50 PM while he was on duty Mani was brought in by his relative named Suresh, when he enquired about the incident it was told that around 6:15 PM on the same day Mani had been attacked with hands, legs and blade by a known male near the Thousand Lights Model School Road, sustaining injuries.

On perusal of his evidence, the Mani sustained injuries and swelling on the right side of his face and a cut injury on his jaw area.
20. Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital, Dr. Rajesh PW-12 deposed in
his evidence that on 24.04.2014 at 7.50 pm while he was on duty at Emergency Ward at a person named Mani was brought to the hospital by Suresh through 108 ambulance for emergency treatment. When he asked Suresh regarding the injury he stated that Mani had been assaulted near Model School Road, Thousand Lights. He stated that Mani was initially taken to Royapettah Government Hospital there he was given Accident Register and first aid, later he brought to Rajiv Gandhi Government hospital for further treatment. When he examined Mani he found that he was dead. The information which he gave to the police regarding the death was marked as Ex.P-7.
21. PW18, Investigation Officer conducted inquest on the body of the
deceased Mani at the mortuary of Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital in the presence of witnesses and panchayatar and he prepared inquest report and the same is marked as Ex.P-16. Subsequently in order to find the actual cause of death he sent the body for post-mortem through requisition letter via Head Constable
Mr.Muthu Peethambaran (PW-10).
22. PW17 Doctor Angayarkanni, has conducted postmortem on 25.04.2014 at Chennai Government hospital and noted the several injuries and also collected the viscera from the deceased body and blood stained clothes of deceased and blood stained clothes of the 1st Accused and forwarded them for chemical analysis to the Forensic Sciences Experts PW13, PW14, PW15 and received the Analysis report as Ex.P8, P9, P10, P11 and all they reveals that no poisonous substance found in these viscera and issued the postmortem certificates Ex.P13 and she noted Several injuries on the dead body of Mani, as stated supra, and all these injuries are appears to be found in the vital part of the face and Head Injuries and these injuries are sufficient to cause his death. The PW17 Postmortem Doctor given certificate that the deceased would appear to have died of Head Injury.
23. The blood stained clothes collected from the body of deceased and
the accused shows that human blood was found in Ex.P11. Furthermore, the blood stained cement area collected from the accused office were found the human blood. Due to the integration of the blood coming out from the body might be a reason for not categorizing the blood group and it will not affect the case of the prosecution. During the course of questioning the accused U/s.313(1) (b) of Cr.P.C., this court has categorically explained the incriminating evidence available on record and they denied the same as false and they have not given acceptable explanation in respect of their presence in the scene at the time of occurrence and they did not denied the contention found. The investigation Officer examined as PW18 and he deposed about the investigation.
24. The learned counsel for the 1st accused has argued that the above
said occurrence was not took place and the accused was not involved in the above said offence and the 1st accused is falsely implicated in this case. On the date of occurrence, the 1st accused has got injuries in his eyes and he admitted in the Egmore Eye Hospital. In this regard, he has given a police complaint and registered the FIR No.416/2014 dated 25.04.2014 and the same is marked as Ex.D1. The Doctor, who treated the 1st accused was examined as DW1 through him the Accident Register marked as Ex.D2. Further argued that, there is no progress in the above case. It clearly shows that the incident was took place. There was a quarrel between 1st accused as well as the deceased Mani. Due to that 1st accused got eye injury and taken treatment in eye hospital. FIR also registered. Since the Mani died, there is no progress in the above FIR.
25. From the prosecution evidence available on record shows that the
deceased Mani who was worked as a acting Driver to the 1st accused, and he had not properly paid the payment to Mani, when Mani was asked about the payments, the 1st accused scold him and avoided the payments. On the date of Occurrence, On 24.04.2014, at about 6.00 p.m. the deceased Mani along with his wife PW-1 went to the office of the 1st Accused and asked about the payments, there was a dispute arose between them, immediately the 1st accused stabbed Mani in his hand, and hold his hair and forcibly hitting the head against the wall and he had taken the Scorpio car key from his pocket and hit in the Mani face and 2nd accused also stabbed the Mani through his Kappu. The above incident was directly seen by the PW1 witness, who is a key witness in this case, having provided direct testimony regarding the events leading to Mani’s death, the witness has corroborated with the other witness PW-3 and PW-4, PW-1 confirming that 1st Accused Kutty had a history of threatening Mani. PW-1 testimony is crucial as it establishes the accused’s motive and prior conduct, which is indicative of premeditation and malice intention.
26. The Material Objects (M.O-1 to M.O-12): These material objects
include forensic evidence collected from the crime scene, such as Scorpio car key As M.O.1 and M.O.2 the Kaapu used in the assault, blood-stained clothing of the deceased Mani and 1st Accused and other relevant items. These objects provide tangible proof of the violent nature of the attack and directly link both the accused of the crime. The charge under Section 302 IPC is for murder, which requires the prosecution to prove that the accused committed the act with the intention of causing death or with the knowledge that such an act would likely cause death. The evidence presented, including the testimony of PW-1 and other witnesses and the exhibits, clearly establishes that Kutty @ Manohar/A-1 and Santhosh Gnanakumar/A-2 had the intent and knowledge required under this section. The motive is proved.
27. Based on the evidence presented, including the testimony of PW-1
and other witnesses, the exhibits marked as Ex.P-1 to Ex.P-22, and the material objects (M.O-1 to M.O-12), it is evident that the accused, Kutty@Manohar/A1 and Santhosh Gnanakumar/A2, is guilty of the murder of Mani. The prosecution had established the intent, motive, and direct involvement of both the accused in the offence. From the evidence available on records shows that both accused have brutally attacked the Mani with hands, Scorpio car key and Kaapu and causing
Severe injuries on the face and Head. Due to several Injuries, the mani died. The
PW3, PW4, PW5, were corroborated the same. The Doctor witnesses PW12, PW13, PW14, PW15, PW16, PW17 were corroborated the same. Therefore, the presence of both the accused in the scene of occurrence is proved by the
prosecution beyond all reasonable doubt. In view of the aforesaid, the prosecution has proved the charges levied against both the accused and the charges levied against them is corroborated. Therefore, the considered view of this court is that the nature of death of deceased Mani is homicidal in nature .
28. In view of the above discussions and the reasons given therein, the
presence of both the accused in the seen at that time of occurrence has been proved by the prosecution beyond all reasonable doubt. Therefore, the considered view of this court is that the prosecution has proved the charges against both the accused and this court found guilty U/s.302, 302 r/w 34 IPC and the points are answered accordingly.
29. After finding the guilty of both the accused U/s.302, 302 r/w 34 IPC ,
this court questioned both accused U/s.235(2) of Cr.P.C., with regard to the punishment to be imposed and they replied as follows in Tamil
1ஆம் எதிரியின் பதில் – பபொய் வழக்கு, ப ொம்ப கஷ்டமொக இருக்கிறது.
2 ஆம் எதிரியின் பதில் – இந்த வழக்கிற்கும் எனக்கும் சம்மந்தம் இல்லை$. வேவறு ஒன்றும் இல்லை$.
30. This court carefully considered the above said request of both the
accused. While deciding the quantum of the punishment, the mitigating and the aggravating circumstances has to be taken into account and it appears that there is no previous case or previous conviction found against these accused. Both the accused are not a habitual offender or hardcore criminal endangering the human society. The facts and circumstances of this case is not falls under the category of rarest of rare case. It appears that out of frustration due to the sudden quarrel and depression, they were forced to take extreme step and committing the murder. Therefore this court is inclined to impose maximum punishment on both the accused U/s.302, 302 r/w 34 IPC , and decided this point accordingly.
31. In the result, Both the accused are found guilty under section 302
and 302 r/w 34 of I.P.C., and they were convicted and sentenced to undergo Life imprisonment under section 302 and 302 r/w 34 of I.P.C., and a fine of
Rs.50,000/- imposed on each accused failing which, Two years Rigorous Imprisonment imposed under Section 235(2) of Cr.P.C. It is ordered to deduct the period of imprisonment already undergone by them in the prison, under section 428
of Cr.P.C.,
The material Objects M.O.1 to M.O.12 seized in this case are ordered to
be destroyed after the appeal time is over or if appeal is filed after the disposal of appeal.
This Judgment has been dictated by me to the stenographer, computerized by her directly, corrected and pronounced by me in the open Court, on Monday, the 19th day of January 2026.
