Learned counsel for second respondent also confirmed authenticity and genuineness of Annexure-B, affidavits sworn by the second respondent. In the circumstances it is not necessary to continue the prosecution. I am inclined to allow these petitions. Resultantly Criminal Miscellaneous Cases are allowed.
