Heard the learned advocate appearing for the applicant / accused as well as the learned APP appearing for the respondent - State. The learned APP opposed the application by submitting that forged documents were pressed in service for obtaining the learning license by the present applicant / accused and the Investigating Officer wants to trace out from where the applicant / accused had obtained the forged School Leaving Certificate.
I have carefully considered the rival submissions and also perused the papers of investigation. The crime in question is registered on the basis of report lodged by the Motor Vehicle Inspector on 13th September 2017. It is averred in the First Information Report (FIR) that the present applicant / accused applied for learning license by annexing the School Leaving Certificate and other documents with the application. The First Informant inferred that the School Leaving Certificate annexed to the application is a forged document, and therefore, he took the present applicant / accused to the Police station, and that is how the crime in question is registered.

The FIR itself shows that the present applicant / accused had disclosed to the First Informant that he has obtained the School Leaving Certificate from Global Motor Training School, Chandivali.
