that he had talked to his wife (PW-6 Kiran Chauhan) and asked her to arrange the money at the earliest, failing which the husband would get implicated falsely in a criminal case. He denied that any demand of money was ever made to him. He further denied that on the next date at about 10-11 AM, he came to their residence or that he could not meet the wife, as she was not present in the house. He also denied that his wife had told him that on 07.02.2008 (date of incident), he had sent Sardar Kashmir Singh, resident of their colony, to the Police Post or had approached ASI Bal Kishan and HC Satpal on phone, but the appellant refused to listen to them and remained persistent on his demand of Rs.10,000/-. He further denied that the amount of Rs.10,000/- was subsequently negotiated and reduced to Rs.4,000/-. So much so, he even failed to identify the appellant and deposed that he could not identify the appellant, as the same person, who had apprehended him or taken to the Police Post. 60. The testitmony of PW 20 Sh. Kishan Pal Singh Chauhan also completey fails to prove that any demand of Rs.10,000/- or Rs.4,000/- was ever being made by the Appellant on 07.02.2008, or on the next date. In fact, there are no phone calls after 07.02.2008 proved between the resopnent and the Appellant or the wife of the Appellant to show that the Respondent continued to make the demand. The only conversation which has come up after 07.02.2008, is of 15.02.2008, when the Complaint was made.
