Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ARIF VS TASNEEM FATIMA Ss. 420, 468, 406, 489-F & 109---Passports Act (XX of 1974), S. 6---Cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property, forgery for purpose of cheating, criminal breach of trust, dishonestly issuing a cheque, abetment, offence relating to passport---Appreciation of evidence---Appeal against acquittal---Forged document was prepared for the purpose of cheating---Scope---Prosecution case was that the accused fraudulently received huge amount from the complainant along with passports of 44 persons for sending them to perform Hajj, but accused did not fulfil her obligation---Accused issued different cheques to the complainant for repayment of the amount received by her, but the same were dishonoured when presented for encashment---Nothing on record to suggest that any forgery was committed by the accused/respondent or any forged document was prepared by her for the purposes of cheating---Evidence of the complainant showed that the accused managed a letter consisting of two pages, from a Member National Assembly (MNA), but even the said document could not prove effective and even on MNA quota, no Hajj visa was issued---Preparation of forged document and non-effectiveness of a document were two different issues---Record transpired that it was not the case of the complainant that the letter issued by MNA was fake, because no evidence to that effect was collected by the Investigation Officer---Statement of MNA was also not recorded during the investigation---No certificate was issued by MNA thereby disowning the letter allegedly issued by him---No Authority declared the said letter to be fake one---Mere fact that the said letter could not serve the purpose of the complainant qua issuance of Hajj Quota or visas did not prove that the said letter was fake---Trial Court was thus absolutely right in holding that offence under S. 468, P.P.C., was not proved---Circumstances established that the appeal had no force, which was dismissed accordingly.
