Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 15: 2nd Additional Sessions Judge Jammu Pawan Dev Kotwal, while deciding 16 years old case, acquitted one Sanjeev Kumar, son of Bodh Raj of R S Pura, who was challaned by the police in forged school certificates case.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “in the absence of evidence to establish that specimen signatures and writings compared by the FSL with questioned signatures and writings on the certificates were of the accused, prosecution case fails on this count”.
“Prosecution has failed to establish charge against accused beyond reasonable doubts and therefore, challan is dismissed and consequently accused is acquitted”, the court said.
