facts by you indicate that you are well participant of the crime and CBI probably has no choice but to accuse you. You have created good documentary evidence.

It is you who has attested the fraudulent thumb impression for usurping govt money. It just does not matter whether who put the thumb impression.

instead of wasting money on futile litigation you may confess plead for light sentence and come out of jail as quickly as possible.

YOU SAID

“Sir I have simply follow the order of my senior and the E-In Charge who made the payment”

SO YOU HAVE FOLLOWED ILLEGAL ORDER. A GOVT SERVANT IS NEVER EXPECTED TO PERFORM A FRAUD WHEN DIRECTED BY SENIOR OFFICERS. YOU HAVE ATTESTED THE THUMB IMPRESSION OF LABOUR WHILE YOU WERE NOT PRESENT WHILE THE PAYMENT WAS SAID TO BE MADE AND NO THUMB IMPRESSION WAS MADE BEFORE YOU.
Sudhir Kumar, Advocate (Expert) 28 February 2016
YOU ALSO SAID

“E-In Charge who made the payment is also accepting the facts before CBI .


IF HE DOES NOT ACCEPT OR YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THEY WILL MAKE HIM TO ACCEPT DURING REMAND.

IN ANY CASE HE WILL NOT ADMIT BEFORE THE COURT.

BEFORE THE COURT IT IS YOUR SIGNATURE WHEREIN YOU ATTEST A PAYMENT WHICH WAS NEVER MADE.

THIS WHAT I AM ADVISING YOU. YOU ALSO ADMIT THE FACTS BEFORE COURT AND PLEAD FOR LESS PUNISHMENT.

YOU NEED NOT WASTE MONEY TO FEED LAWYERS.

“I have not usurped any govt money.”

SORRY

YOU HAVE GIVEN AMPLE EVIDENCE OF EMBEZZLEMENT BY YOU. (IF GIVEN FACTS ARE TRUE)

WHY SHOULD / WOULD ANYONE BELIEVE AT ALL THAT YOU DID NOT HAVE CUT IN THE GOVT MONEY WHICH WAS EMBEZZZLED. IT IS YOUR SIGNATURE ONLY WHEN YOU CERTIFY THAT IT IS THUMB IMPRESSION OF “X” WHILE IT IS OF “Y”

HA HA HA

DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT HE IS A FOOL OR MARTYR KNOWING WELL HIM TO BE A CORRUPT MAN

DO YOU THINK THAT HE WILL VOLUNTEER TO ACCOMPANY IN JAIL WHILE YOU CANNOT BE DROPPED BECAUSE OF STRONG EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU.

IF HE ADMITS THE WAY YOU HAVE WRITTEN THEN IT IS WAY IN FOR YOU TO BE IN JAIL AS THIS IS STRONG EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU.

In a criminal case, it is for the prosecution to prove your case beyond reasonable doubt. The facts you had stated, if true, constitutes a good alibi. The question is, how it could be proved. A good lawyer would be able to defend you.
