JAMMU, Aug 16: Additional Sessions Judge Kathua, Sonia Gupta awarded life-imprisonment to Kuldip Singh, son of Kehar Singh of Pathankote in double murder case after 21 years long trial and investigation.
However, the court took serious note of the investigating agency and observed that the case was treated in a very casual manner by the Investigating Agency/ Prosecution as neither the IO nor the weapon of offence was produced during the trial.
Accordingly, the court directed SSP Kathua to look into the matter and submit a report pinpointing the official/officer responsible for non-production of weapon of offence during trial and its status, personally or through DSP Hqrs within 15 days from receiving the copy of the judgment.
The murder of Kartar Singh and Parsanta Devi took place on February 19, 1993 and accordingly, a case was registered and after completion of investigation challan was produced in the court of law.
