JAMMU, Nov 30: Ist Additional Sessions Judge Srinagar Khursheed-ul-Islam has acquitted nine accused, who were allegedly involved in anti-India activities as prosecution miserably failed to prove the case.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “the prosecution has not produced any witness in the case despite repeated opportunities. Many a times last and final opportunity was given to the prosecution to produce the evidence but the prosecution has not been in a position to examine any witness enlisted in the challan”.
“On 29.08.2023 once again last and final opportunity was granted to the prosecution for production of the evidence and it was impressed upon the prosecution that in case they fail to produce any witness on the next date, the prosecution evidence will be deemed to have been closed. When despite clear and unambiguous directions the prosecution could not produced any witness, the prosecution evidence was closed and the case was listed for the arguments”, the court said.
The court further observed, “from the perusal of the file it is clear that the prosecution has not been in a position to examine even a single witness in the case. The prosecution has miserably failed to prove their case, therefore the case of the prosecution is dismissed for want of evidence. The accused are acquitted from the charges leveled against them”.
