And further alleged that various shell firms were also opened by A2 in the names of the employees of the company for raising the fund by using the same firms without any valid business and transactions. Resultantly, the CBI charge sheeted A1 under Section 420 IPC and A2 under Sections 420, 468 r\/w 109 and 471 IPC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Court after considering the purported act, witnesses, documentary evidences and the \u201cdubious\u201d charges framed by the CBI, took cognizance of the offences under Sections 420, 467, 468 &amp; 471 IPC, and was of the opinion, that when the act was of committing forgery, then only abetment to forgery was not sufficient especially when the CBI itself had set the grounds with no contradictions. The Court was of the opinion, \u201cLd. PP for CBI and IO has failed to reply as to why the offence of abetment for forgery is implicated against the accused and not the substantive offence of forgery. At this stage, prosecution has also not established that as to who was abetted for the offence of forgery\u201d. Therefore, summoned both A1 and A2 under relevant Sections.[CBI\u00a0 v.
