PAMPORE: In a significant development, the Hon’ble Judicial Magistrate Ist Class (JMIC) Pampore has convicted six accused persons in connection with FIR No. 46/2017 and FIR No. 48/2017 registered at Police Station Pampore. The cases pertain to offences under Sections 147, 148, 149, 354, 323, 506, 427, 336, and 447 IPC.

After a full and fair trial, the Court awarded one month simple imprisonment for each offence to all six accused. In addition, a fine of ₹10,000 was imposed on each accused, along with ₹20,000 as compensation to the complainant, acknowledging the harm and inconvenience suffered by the victim.

This conviction marks a notable achievement for Police Station Pampore, reflecting its consistent efforts in securing justice, particularly in long-pending cases. The timely investigation, proper documentation, and meticulous preservation of evidence by the investigating team played a crucial role in presenting a strong case before the Court.

The prosecution was effectively conducted by Prosecuting Officer Noveed Sarwar Khan, whose clear legal submissions, structured presentation of evidence, and professional courtroom conduct were instrumental in securing the conviction. His efforts, complemented by the diligent work of Police Pampore, resulted in establishing a complete, consistent, and credible evidentiary record.

J&K Police reiterates its commitment to upholding the rule of law, ensuring swift and fair investigations, and delivering justice to victims. The successful outcome of this case underscores the importance of coordinated efforts between the investigating agency and the prosecution in strengthening the criminal justice system.
