e. In such circumstances referred to above, the learned Senior Counsel prayed that there being merit in his appeals, the same may be allowed and the judgment of the High Court and that of the trial court be set aside and the appellant-convict be acquitted of all the charges. SUBMISSIONS ON BEHALF OF THE STATE 25. On the other hand, these appeals were vehemently opposed by Mr. Ardhendumauli Kumar Prashad, the learned AAG, appearing for the State. He submitted thus: a. No error much less an error of law could be said to have been committed by the courts below in holding the appellant-convict guilty of the offences with which he was charged. b. There was a strong motive for the appellant-convict to commit the crime. The second marriage of the appellant-convict was opposed by his son Islamuddin. As the appellant- convict wanted to disown his son, the same was opposed by his two brothers Naushad and Irshad. That is the reason why the appellant-convict was at inimical terms with his own son Islamuddin and his two real brothers Naushad and Irshad. c. There is no good reason to discard the oral evidence of the PW-2 Shanu alias Shahnawaz and PW-4 Soni. d. The courts below rightly believed the two dying declarations to be true and trustworthy. e. To conclude, the learned counsel pointed out that the appellant- convict is a history-sheeter and has tendency to repeatedly indulge in serious crimes. f. In such circumstances referred to above, the learned counsel prayed that there being no merit in the present appeals, the same may be dismissed and the death sentence awarded may be upheld. 11
