4. I have examined the findings of the Trial Court minutely and find no illegality or irregularity. Trial Court referred to various contradictions, discrepancies and lapses to give benefit of doubt to the respondents and disbelieved and discarded the prosecution case. R-4 was suspected to have prepared a computer floppy used for preparing counterfeit currency notes. Admittedly, the floppy could not be recovered. There was no other evidence to show as to where, when and by what mode, R-4 prepared the floppy. There is no evidence that R-4 had access to the computers at his office. The Trial Court noted that Investigating Officer did not make efforts to find out if any particular computer at the office was used by R-4 by getting a computer forensic expert to analyse the hard disk. Statement of co-accused was not admissible to prove the guilt that R-4 prepared the floppy.
