The court of the Special Judicial Magistrate also acquitted Naresh Chandra Dwivedi, who was a co-accused charged with providing forged documents to Balkrishna.
The Central Bureau of Investigation had registered a case and initiated an investigation in 2011 following a complaint alleging that Balkrishna was a Nepali national who had obtained an Indian passport using forged documents.
The case continued through a prolonged trial before the court acquitted both accused. The verdict brought an end to the 15-year-old legal proceedings involving the alleged use of forged educational and other documents for obtaining a passport.
Following the court's verdict, Balkrishna said that he has full faith in the judicial system.
He, however, said that the long legal process was exhausting and that he had to endure humiliation, disrepute and the negative energy of others during the process.
The acquittal concludes the prolonged legal proceedings against Balkrishna and Dwivedi in the passport forgery case registered by the CBI in 2011.
