SUSHIL KUMAR AND ORS. vs STATE OF HARYANA AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that Section 195(1)(b)(ii) of the Code of Criminal Procedure does not apply when the original document alleged to be forged is not produced in court. The Court confirmed the High Court's direction to frame charges under Sections 471 and 474 IPC, despite finding the reasoning incorrect, establishing that the absence of the original document allows for cognizance of forgery charges. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the High Court's order.
