FIR No. 573 dated September 17, 2006, was recorded on receipt of a secret information. On completion of investigation, final report was put in Court for trial. The prosecution was given an ample opportunity to prove its case. On conclusion of the prosecution evidence, statements of the respondents were recorded under Section 313 Cr.P.C. They pleaded innocence and false implication. The trial Court took note of a fact that the place of residence of the respondents, from where the fake currency alleged to have been recovered, is situated just opposite to the residence of Superintendent of Police in a thickly populated area. FIR was recorded on the basis of a secret information. Despite that no effort was made to join any independent witness. Finding a clear violation of the provisions of Section 100(4) Cr.P.C. it was rightly opined that the prosecution has failed to prove its case beyond a shadow of reasonable doubt and accordingly acquitted the respondents of the charges framed against them. We are of the opinion that the order passed is perfectly justified. Nothing has been shown to the contrary. In view of above, no case is made out to grant leave to file an appeal. Dismissed.
