Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pakistan

Respected Sir,

I have the honor to write few lines for your favorable and sympathetic consideration

Purely on philanthropist grounds.

That I was Manager of the Bank/Branch. It has been claimed by one of the

Customer of the Branch that he has Deposited a sum of Rs.46,00,000/- in his

account. He handed over the Cash to the Cashier concerned. The Cashier returned

counter foil receipt to the customer for Rs. 46,00,000/-. (The Bank�s Rule is that

each and every instrument must bear two authorized officers signatures apart from

the official stamp and signature of the Receiving Cashier). The other portion of the

voucher (i.e. Bank Record) was for Rs.600,000/- and this amount was taken in all

the books of the Bank.

But that portion of Credit voucher (counterfoil receipt) handed over to the

customer was for Rs.46,00,000/- bearing only two signatures. One of which

was the cashier concerned and the second is mine.

The Bank conducted preliminary enquiry alleging me that you with the

Connivance of the cashier misappropriated the funds and you both pocketed

It. Hence you deliberately committed the fraud with the Bank.

I in this enquiry I loudly and written reply said that these are not my signatures.

But the Bank referred the case to FIA. The FIA authorities took me in custody for

For 15 days for investigation and registered the criminal case under clause

420,419 & other related clauses. During the custody of FIA, the FIA authorities

Get My signatures for verification and send the same to their Head Office at

Islamabad for placing the same before the Signature Expert. The Signature

Expert opined that the Signatures are forged. After that the Bank authorities

Requested the FIA for constitution of Board to confirm and verify the genuiness

Of my Signatures. The Board unanimously advised that the signatures are forged.

In the meantime, I have been bailed out from the Banking Court. The case is still

Pending in the court due to either reasons i.e. Prosecutor is on leave, Honorable

Judge is on leave, Witness not attended the court, and Judge has been transferred.

I have applied in the court under Section 265 for acquittance which was not

Yet heard because the learned counsel has been transferred and no body

Was posted at the seat.

Next date of hearing is in next week.

You requested to kindly apprise me your able guidance under which section/sub-

Section of the law which prove me innocent and for placing the same before the

Hon�able Court.

Your early response is solicited.

Thanks and with best wishes.
