High Court concerned at alleged tampering of evidence

New Delhi, Apr 27 (UNI) The Delhi High Court today expressed concern at allegations of tampering with the evidence put before the Lower court hearing Congress MP Sajjan Kumar's case.

Justice B D Ahmad observed if the allegations were found to be true, it would have serious implications on the judicial system.

The court had asked for documents from the lower court to put the record straight.

However, the court was informed that the documents had reached every party to the case except the office of the court.

Chhattarsingh Rachhoya, the complainant, has accused Sajjan Kumar of causing injuries and hurling abuses naming his caste.

He has since been booked under SC ST Atrocities Prevention Act.

Senior counsel I U Khan, appearing for Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, had submitted before Justice B D Ahmad that the complaint, key to the prosecution, had been inserted into the bunch of documents without the knowledge of the lower court by forging it.

Bapurao Pakhiddey, appearing for Chhattarsingh Rachhoya the complainant, had produced the copy of the complaint before the High Court.
