¶19

According to the prosecution case, on 13.04.2025 at around midnight, when the injured along with his friend was sitting near Kalu Paneer Bhandar, Subzi Mandi, three unknown boys came on a scooter and demanded money, and on being resisted, one of them announcing his name as Sagar @ Champa took out a pistol and forcibly robbed Rs. 5000/- from the injured and the complainant de facto . In the course of snatching money, the assailant fired upon the injured and then they fled.

¶20

So far as the accused/applicant is concerned, the allegation is that the vehicle used in the alleged offence by the robbers was recovered from him. Admittedly, the accused/applicant is not one of those three robbers.

¶21

The IO has not brought the original investigation file containing Case Diaries. Only a photocopy of investigation file has been brought. The Case Diary is of vital significance to authenticate the investigation. In the past few weeks, it is being observed that the investigating officers do not bring the case diaries. That has started after I started examining the Case Diaries in some cases, where suspicion arose. Learned APP assures that henceforth all investigating officers shall produce the Case Diaries for examination by the Court.

¶22

I have examined the photocopy of the investigation file. It would be interesting to note that according to the seizure memo of the scooter allegedly used in the alleged robbery, it is stated to have been recovered underneath dried plants in a park and not in the residential premises of the accused/applicant or otherwise from exclusive possession of the accused/applicant.
