| Court acquits accused facing trial in fake currency | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 15: Additional Sessions Judge Jammu acquitted Rishi Kumar alias Rajeev S/o Sat Pal Sharma R/o H. No.787 Subash Nagar, Jammu facing trial in fake currency notes. Brief facts of the prosecution case, on 24.1.2009, Rajeev Kumar alias Rishu S/o Sat Pal R/O H. N0.787 Subash Nagar, Jammu was stopped at the nakka and on searching the said person, 21 fake/counterfeit currency notes of rupee one hundred denominations, total amounting to Rs. 2100/- were recovered from the possession of said person.
Court after hearing Advocate Kousal Parihar appearing for the accused person observed that there are glaring contradictions between the statements of witnesses about recovery of fake currency notes from the possession of the accused. There are also contradictions in the statements of these witnesses. There are also glaring contractions about the disclosure statement made by the accused and recovery of the seized machine and other material from the house of the accused on the alleged disclosure statement made by the accused. Hence, the recovery and seizure memos and other material from the house of the accused are also doubtful and cannot be believed and relied.
For the aforesaid reasons and circumstances, Court found that the prosecution has failed to bring the charge home to the accused beyond reasonable doubt by leading clear, cogent and reliable evidence. Hence, the accused is entitled to the benefit of doubt. Accordingly, the present challan is dismissed and the accused is acquitted of the commission of offences for which he was charged in the present case. |
