Belgium on a forged passport. The said forged passport was originally
issued in the name of Ms. Asha Panigrahi and the same was stolen in the
U.K. When Navdeep Kaur reached Belgium on the said forged passport, she
was deported and brought back to India.
3. In response to a specific query, IO submits that no other case has been
reported in which the accused/applicant was involved in any illegal
migration. As regards the present case, the IO submits that the only evidence
of complicity of the accused/applicant is the confessional statement of co-
accused Navdeep Kaur, recorded when she was in police custody.
4. Further, on last date, it was submitted by the prosecution side that the
accused/applicant was declared a proclaimed offender in the year 2013 and
was arrested in the year 2024. In this regard, prosecution was directed to file
status report to explain the circumstances in which the accused/applicant
was declared a proclaimed offender and was arrested. No such status report
has been filed and it is explained by the IO that he could not locate the order
by which the accused/applicant was declared a proclaimed offender.
5. Considering the above circumstances, coupled with the fact that
investigation completed long back and chargesheet was filed in the year
2011, followed by supplementary chargesheet in the year 2024, I find no
reason to further deprive the accused/applicant liberty.
