As such, they by abuse of their official position and in criminal conspiracy with Mohd Farooq, then Patwari Halqua of Qila Darhal and all the above mentioned private beneficiaries have illegally attested the said mutations for their pecuniary gains and in blatant violations of the provisions of the Govt. order vide Nos. LB/6C of 1958 and S-432 of 1966. Besides, that said Tehsildar was not competent to attest any mutations as he was not posted as Incharge Tehsildar Qila Darhal. It has been found that the beneficiaries have no recorded entry in cultivating possession prior to Rabi 1986 in Khasra No. 365 and Kharief 1982 in Khasra No. 366. Moreover, perusal of the record shows that both the Khasra Nos. have been recorded as Gair Mumkin Jungle (un-demarcated Forest) whereas as per the provisions of order No. LB/6C, it shall not apply to the land which is Forest land and further record does not reveal the cultivating possession of the beneficiaries since 1957 which is a pre-requisite condition for conferment of propriety rights under order No. S-432, thereby they have caused wrongful loss to the government exchequer, as such, they have committed an offence of conspiracy to commit an offence as defined under section 5(1)(d) r/w Section 5(2) of PC Act and Section 120-B RPC.
After hearing both the sides, court observed that the existence of prima-facie evidence providing grounds for presuming that accused persons have committed the offence as alleged and the material available on record prima-facie established involvement of the accused persons in the commission of offence. Accordingly, the court framed the charge.
