| Abduction of married woman | | Court acquits 6 accused | | early times report
Jammu, Aug 12 : Principal Sessions Judge Kathua MK Hanjura today acquitted Mohd Younis, Ashfaq Ahmed, Babu Din, Taj Ahmed, Raju Begum and Shanoo Begum from the charges of abduction of married woman.
According to the police case that on 07.8.2005 at about 11 AM the accused Mohd Younis, Ashfaq Ahmed and Taj Ahmed waylaid a married woman Mst. Noor Jahan near their house situated at Nathi Tehsil Billawar. They forcibly abducted her with the intention of compelling her marriage with the accused Taj Ahmed. They wrongfully confined her in their house for a day. They relieved her of her jewellery by force which was misappropriated by them. Polic registered a case and after completion of investigation challan was presented in the Court of law.
Principal Sessions Judge Kathua Mr. MK Hanjura after hearing both the sides observed that Looking at the instant case from the perspective of the instances of the law laid down in judicial precedents cited above, the complainant and the prosecution witnesses confined the occurrence to their chest for a long time. They did not reveal the occurrence to the police authorities during this period. After rising from a deep slumber they implicated the accused for the commission of crime by stating that they abducted a woman. Therefore, these statements can not be given any weight, under the circumstances of the instant case, where they have named the accused to be the culprits after a long silence. The place where the complainant lay at the time of her alleged recovery has not been identified during the course of the investigation of the case. It has a bearing on the prosecution case. There is disparity in the statements of the witnesses on the date of the occurrence also. Zakir Hussain has stated that the occurrence took place on 08.07.2005 while as, the other witnesses have stated that the occurrence dates back to 07.08.2005. The charge framed against the accused states that the occurrence took place on 02.08.2005. These circumstances also make the prosecution case suspicious. Court further observed that the circumstances do not in any way connect the accused with the crime and acquitted all the accused from the charges leveled against them. |
