Panchkula, Nov. 17 -- The additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) court has acquitted all four accused, including a woman, in a case involving charges of obstructing a public servant in the discharge of their duties registered at Chandimandir police station on July 3, 2021. The four accused were identified as Saurabh, Virender, Gaurav Aggarwal, and Babli Aggarwal. The court in its November 14 order, concluded that the prosecution had "miserably failed to prove the case" beyond the shadow of reasonable doubt. Dayal Singh, a resident of Abheypur village in Panchkula, in his police complaint, registered on July 3, stated that he was working as a driver with the director of Haryana transport department and had gone with the director to Morni for official work on July 3. Upon reaching Morni, they encountered a traffic jam. The director inquired about the reason from Virender present on the road and asked him to clear the passage. Thereafter, as they crossed the heavy traffic congestion, Saurabh (son of Virender), along with his five friends, arrived and parked their car in front of the vehicle. They allegedly attempted to break the car's glasses and snatch the keys. The accused also threatened to kill the occupants. Dayal managed to reverse the car, but the accused followed them and again blocked their path by parking their car and placing stones on the road. They then reportedly began breaking the glasses of the vehicle. Meanwhile, the police arrived at the spot, and with their assistance, Dayal and the director were escorted from the location. All four accused were then booked on charges of obstructing a public servant in the discharge of their duties, wrongful restraint, assault on a public servant, and criminal intimidation. The court's decision was primarily driven by the complete retraction of the prosecution's key witness, the complainant Dayal. During his deposition, Dayal stated he could not identify the accused due to darkness and failed to recognise them in court and even claimed the police obtained his signatures on blank papers. The court also observed that the police failed to join any independent public witness despite the incident occurring in a public area. The official witness, HGH Ved Parkash, confirmed that the IO did not conducted a TIP, and stated that the IO conducted all proceedings while sitting in the police station....
