Case 405/2024 Summary Court: JMFC, Ankola Date: 20-12-2025 A witness (Jeevan Tandel, 35, fisherman) testified regarding a vehicular accident on 24-04-2024 involving a two-wheeler. During cross-examination by the defense counsel, the witness's credibility was significantly challenged. The defense argued that the witness signed blank papers without reading them, the FIR documents were fabricated with false signatures, and photographs (Exhibits 4-6, 8-14) were taken without proper authorization or clear evidentiary purpose. The defense further contended that the accident scene investigation was compromised, the witness provided inconsistent statements about road conditions and vehicle speed, and suggested the police fabricated evidence to support a false narrative against the accused (A-1 Mahammad Sadiq and A-2 Ashraf G U). The court recorded the witness's examination and cross-examination statements. The case proceedings continue.
