Further, the prosecution examined PW8 Sh. Anup Chopra, Traffic Officer, Air India, who proved e-ticket Ex.PW8/A issued in the favour of the accused on 05.11.2011 for travel on Delhi-Chandigarh-Delhi by flights AI-864 on 07.11.2011 and by AI-863 on 09.11.2011. He further proved on record the travel certificate dated 24.01.2012 issued by Deputy Manager (Finance) SCR, Air India as Ex.PW8/B vide which it is stated that the accused had traveled on the e-ticket Ex.PW8/A. This fact is also admitted by the accused. In his statement under Section 313, CrPC, the accused admits that he had purchased the return air ticket from the complainant and that he got the flights preponed. He further admits that he had traveled on the said ticket.

As discussed earlier, the court is satisfied that the accused had signed the cheque misrepresented to the complainant that he was Mukesh Kumar Mogha. It is also proved on record that the accused had got the flights preponed and travelled on air ticket without making payment of the same. Further it is also proved that the accused cheated the complainant, in view of the above discussions. In these circumstances, the court is of the opinion that the offence of forgery is also made out as all essentials as discussed above have been fulfilled. There was a clear intention to cause damage or injury to the complainant by State v. Radhey Lal PS Dwarka South not making payment of the air tickets to him. Now the court must examine as to whether graver offence under Section 467 IPC i.e forgery of the valuable security, Will etc, is made out or not.
