Additional Sessions Judge Bharat Parashar rpt Bharat Parashar convicted Bihar native Abdul Kalam and Mohd Naushad Mian of West Bengal for offences under the IPC relating to conspiracy and possessing forged or counterfeit currency notes and using them as genuine.
"I am of the considered opinion that the prosecution has been successful in proving its case beyond shadows of all reasonable doubts that accused Naushad Mian and Abdul Kalam were part of a criminal conspiracy whereby they were trafficking in FICN (Fake Indian Currency Notes) and were accordingly found in possession of FICN worth Rs 2.95 lakh....
The court also said the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) officers or the investigating agency i.E. CBI subsequently should have taken further effective steps to ascertain as to who all were part of the conspiracy "so that such kind of persons who tends to strike at the very roots of the economy of the country could have been brought to book".
"However, their failure in not being successful in apprehending any other conspirators does not in any manner take away the ground beneath the case of the prosecution qua these two accused persons," it said in the order.
On July 5, 2010, DRI had received information that a man carrying fake Indian currency would be arriving at New Delhi Railway Station and would deliver the notes to his aide in Bhajanpura here.
Both Mian and Kalam were caught by the DRI officers in Bhajanpura area and they were taken to its office where they were found in possession of fake currency notes with face value of Rs 2.95 lakh.
