Dear Sir My brother was murdered on 29.09.2014. Murderer aquitted by session court. I am last seen witness. Body of my bro was found next day . Weapon is recovered by police after one week and my uncle is witness for that. But court says I.O did not call independent witness so not valid. Statement of disclosure also rejected on same ground. I.O didnt call meical officer for verification of weapon. Finally criminals acqitted. Any suggestion for case in high court will be appreciated.

A detailed suggestion/ discussion is required before filing appeal in the High Court, which can be given only after reading the complete file . If any injustice has been done with your family, Appeal is must to teach a lesson to the criminals. regards, Adv Malhotra

Sir, you can always file appeal against acquittal. You need to show the illegality and misreading of evidence committed by the Trial Court. For proper advice, you have to show complete evidence led by prosecution as well as your statments etc. Only then I will be able to reach at proper conclusion.

Yes, do file an appeal. You are not going to file it personally and the lawyers know the law that supports the case. Though final opinion for filing of appeal depends upon judgment passed and the facts admitted on record. Do not ignore this chance. File appeal.
