15. Apart from this, in the present case, no efforts were made to hand over the
seal after use to independent public persons and it remained with the officials of
the Police Station only (it remained with PW 3 as he so stated in his chief). This
further casts doubts on the prosecution story as if the IO in fact/in reality joined
Suresh Kumar in the raid he should have handed over the seal to him, which he
failed to do. In such cases in view of the case titled as SAIFULLA VS. STATE
1998 (1) CCC 497(DELHI) and ABDUL GAFFAR VS. STATE 1996 JCC 497
(DELHI) benefit of doubt is to be given to the accused.
