It is a case against the petitioners for alleged offences under Sections 120 (B), r/w 167, 409, 420, 465, 467, 471 r/w 467 and 465, 218 and 161 of IPC, and Section 5(2) r/w 5(1)(c) & (d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1947 and Section 109 of IPC.
2. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that due to intermittent delay in filing of final report, this Court has quashed the case against some of the co-accused. Hence, it may be extended to the petitioners herein also.
3. Whereas, the learned Government Advocate (Crl.side) submits that though for some of the co-accused, this Court has quashed the case on the ground of intermittent delay, the State has preferred an appeal in so far as the other accused/ the petitioners herein are concerned.
4. Considering the order passed by the earlier Judges, since the latest order of this Court, dismissing the quash petition, I have no hesitation to follow the latest Judgment of my predecessor. Hence, the Criminal Original Petition stands dismissed. Consequently connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
