Besides Rehman, additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Harjeet Singh Jaspal also convicted his wife Asma in the case, saying the prosecution successfully proved its case, beyond reasonable doubts. “The prosecution has successfully proved its case, beyond reasonable doubts, against accused Asma that she caused simple hurt on the person of a public servant in discharge of her duties. “The prosecution has further proved beyond reasonable doubts that both the accused persons i.e. Abdul Rehman and Asma, in furtherance of their common intention, criminally intimidated the complainant and assaulted her, while she was holding the office of public servant and was in discharge of her duties as public servant, to deter her from discharging her duties,” the judge said.
