Showing contexts for: currency defined in State vs . Swaran Kaur @ Chhabbo on 5 February, 2020Matching Fragments
9. Final arguments heard. Case record perused meticulously.
10. This Court has thoughtfully considered the material on record and arguments advanced.
11. In the present case, the most crucial prosecution witness was the complainant, who could not be produced by the Prosecution to depose before the Court. Further, no public witness has been made to join the recovery proceedings and recovery of the currency notes in question can not be said to be the recovery of the 'stolen property' as defined under Section 410 IPC as it could not be established by the Prosecution that they were the same currency notes which were robbed from the complainant. Also, despite the recovery being made on the date of arrest, the complainant has not been made a witness to the same. This casts a shadow of doubt upon the story of Prosecution.
