where the dead body was first seen by the police, persons took the body from the place of occurrence and where it was taken to; (iii) the Place, Date and Time of conduct of the inquest; and (iv) the clothes on the body of the victim, recovered by the police. These contradictions make the evidence of PWs 1 to 3 completely untrustworthy. Unfortunately, the Sessions Court as well as the High Court have trivialized these major contradictions to hold that the chain of circumstances have been established unbroken. II. Delay in transmitting the FIR to court 58. According to the prosecution, the FIR was lodged at 20:10 hrs. on 08.03.2012. The Court of the CJM, Shravasti, received the copy of the FIR on 13.03.2012. Therefore, a cloud is sought to be cast on the genuineness of the FIR. 59. On the importance of promptitude, both in the registration of the FIR and in the transmission of the same to the Court, reliance is placed by Shri Nagamuthu, learned senior counsel on the following passage in Meharaj Singh (L/Nk.) vs. State of U.P2 2 (1994) 5 SCC 188 27
