JAMMU, Nov 15: Principal Sessions Judge Jammu, Kartar Singh has acquitted Tarsem Lal, son of Tilak Raj of Akhnoor, who was allegedly working for the Pakistan’s ISI, as prosecution miserably failed to prove the offence against him.
Tarsem Lal was accused of providing secret information about the vital installations of the security forces through e-mail to the ISI. He was booked under Section 3 of Enemy Agent Ordinance.
After hearing Public Prosecutor Shabir Choudhary for the State whereas Advocate B L Chatta for the accused, Principal Sessions Judge observed, “prosecution has heavily relied upon the recovery of e-mail list from the accused and one fails to understand that how this e-mail list has connected him with the commission of alleged offence”.
“The prosecution has not proved as to from whom the accused received the e-mail and to whom he used to send them. In the absence of such evidence, it cannot be said that e-mails were sent to Pakistan and also e-mail which he received was also from Pakistan. In other words, there is not even an iota of evidence against the accused”, the court said.
With these observations, the Court acquitted the accused of the charges framed against him.
