| Court initiates proceedings against prosecutrix for perjury | | |
JAMMU, Jan 17: Principal Sessions Judge Samba, MK Sharma, while acquitting an accused of kidnapping Sanjeev Kumar S/o Jankar Singh S/o Rakh Amb Tali Samba, has issued notice to prosecutrix for facing trial for commission of perjury.
Court while acquitting accused observed that it is necessary to point out that the victim in this case has turned hostile and she did not support the prosecution for whom she was cited as witness. It is a serious issue. The statement of this witness was recorded under section 164-A Cr.P.C before the Learned Judicial Magistrate First Class/Munsiff Samba. While deposing before this Court during trial she rescinded from her earlier statement and has made contradictory statement. If these things are not taken seriously and the guilty punished, the day is not far when the system as a whole will collapse. It is the mandate of section 164-A Cr.P.C that the person makes the statement voluntarily and the Magistrate recording the statement makes an endorsement to this effect.
Let show cause notice be issued to the victim to explain as to why she may not be proceeded against for making false statement. |
