Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Manish Yaduvanshi absolved Uttar Pradesh natives of the charges of owning the mobil oil and coolant, stolen from a godown here in 1998 as key prosecution witnesses in the case turned hostile.

"In the absence of comprehensive proof to the effect that the recovered property was actually the stolen property, the police can't sustain its charge under section 411 (dishonestly receiving stolen property) of the IPC against the accused.

"In the result, the case of the prosecution has failed on both counts. Both the accused persons are accordingly acquitted from the charges," the court said.
