The accused denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. However, the learned trial court convicted the petitioner-accused under Section 323 and 342 of IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learned counsel for the petitioner, inter alia, contended that no test identification parade was held and as such there was procedural irregularity in the investigation and consequent conviction of the petitioner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As regards the above mentioned contention of the petitioner, the High Court held that it was an admitted case of the prosecution that the complainant did not know the persons who attacked him and the accused were identified for the first time only in the Court as was evident from the statement of the witnesses. Once that be the admitted position, then it was incumbent upon the prosecution to have conducted a Test Identification Parade.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The High Court found merit in the revision petition and the same was allowed and the judgment of conviction passed by the trial court was set aside.
