4. Vide order dated November 21, 2012, a charge for the offence punishable under Section 392/397 of Indian Panel Code was framed against the accused to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.

14. From the above, I am of the view that testimony of the above said witnesses is not helpful to the prosecution to prove the involvement of accused in the alleged incident. Prosecution has failed to produce any State Vs. Amit @ Mittu other cogent admissible evidence to prove the involvement of accused.

15. Pondering over the going discussion, I am of the considered opinion that prosecution has failed to prove the culpability of accused beyond all reasonable doubts for the offences punishable under Section 392/397 of Indian Panel Code, thus, I hereby acquit the accused Amit @ Mittu from all the charges.
