18. In view of above facts and circumstances as well as discussion  of   material   evidence,   on   a   careful   consideration   of   the  material   on   record,   it   is   seen   that   the   material   witnesses  examined in this case have nowhere says in their evidence  that the notes were sealed after they were seized from the  accused nor they speaks about the identification of the seal or  identifies   signature   seizing   the   notes.   Under   the  circumstances,   there   is   no   clear   and   cogent   evidence   on  record to show that notes alleged to have been seized from  the accused were same notes, which were produced before  F.S.L. Secondly, Investigating Officer does not state as to how  he acquired knowledge regarding comparison of notes since  he has admitted that he could not find out fake notes. The  notes were not subjected to any chemical or electronic test to  show   that   the   same   were   fake   or   duplicate.   Under   the  circumstances, I am of the opinion that the prosecution has  not proved that the notes seized from the possession of the  accused   were   the   same   notes   which   were   subjected   for  examination   and   further   that   on   examination,   they   were  found   to   be   counterfeit   notes.   The   evidence   of   the  complainant   is   not   corroborated   by   the   evidence   of   any  witnesses.
