Thane Court Acquits Man in 2019 Counterfeit Currency Case
A man named Adil was accused of having fake money and tools to make more.
Police found these things at a shop in Thane, India, in 2019, and arrested him.
The police said he was guilty, but after a long trial, the judge said he was not guilty.
This is because the police didn't have enough proof.
They didn't show documents proving the shop belonged to him, and some witnesses weren't helpful.
Also, some of the fake money wasn't even shown to the court.
So, the judge decided there wasn't enough evidence to say he was guilty of anything.
Adil Amjad Mansuri was acquitted in a counterfeit currency case after nearly six years.
The raid occurred in June 2019 at a shop in Kausa, Thane, where counterfeit notes and tools were allegedly found.
Mansuri was charged under sections 489-C and 489-D of the IPC.
The court cited a lack of evidence and procedural lapses in the investigation as the reasons for acquittal.
No ownership documents or tenancy records were presented linking Mansuri to the shop.
