Yadav, OSD and handed over record of two files bearing no.

296. PW-21 Sh. S.M. Bhatia from the Noida Authority was examined by the prosecution in support of its case. But the witness is merely proving the document whereby the property was transferred in the name of Ms. Manjula Rai, and nothing more than that.

297. No positive evidence has been led by the prosecution to support their case that the consideration amount and the cost of the additional room so constructed there was made for and on behalf of accused A.K. Rai or by him.

298. Similarly, is the case of other property at Noida i.e. Property bearing No. E-16, Sector-20, Noida, District Uttar Pradesh, where by PW-21 Sh. S.M. Bhatia had produced the record of Flat no. E-16/20, Ex PW21/3 (Colly.) which was initially allotted to Sh. J.K. Mehra son of Sh. R.R. Mehra on 14.01.1980 for a consideration of Rs. 46,200/-, which lateron was transferred by the allottee to Ms. Manjula Rai on 23.11.1996 with the consent of Noida Authority.

321. He also admitted that he did not see the local schedule of rates notified by Noida Authority / Greater Noida Authority at the time of carrying out its Valuation, where the properties were situated.

322. Thus, analyzing the testimony of this witness, the valuation report Ex PW25/1 (colly.) and the abstracts submitted thereto are found lacking on vital aspects and the Valuation report raises strong doubt over its correctness and authenticity.
