The Sessions Court properly evaluated all evidence at the close of defence after the High Court directed the accused to be called; prosecution failed to adduce any direct evidence that the 1st accused made the false statement in Form 32A or that the 2nd accused abetted that act, and the defence raised a reasonable doubt (including explanations, email instructions, lack of attestations, timing and motive relating to PW2), therefore the acquittal was rightly affirmed and the appeals dismissed.
