466, 471 & 120-B of the Indian Penal Code by the Special Police Station, Rajasthan State Anti Corruption Bureau, Jaipur.
The High Court, while disposing of the aforesaid
petition, has passed the following order :
: 2 :
“In view of above order passed, it appears that in two identical matters, protection has been provided to the petitioner therefore, to maintain parity, I deem it proper to pass order that no adverse or punitive action be taken against the petitioner in pursuance of FIR No.110/2004 till the instant petition is decided.”
The State is aggrieved by the later portion of the
order passed by the High Court. That is how it is before us in this appeal.
We have heard Dr.Manish Singhvi, learned Additional
Advocate General for the appellant-State and Shri Nagendra Rai, learned senior counsel for the respondent.
In our view, the High Court, while deciding the
petition filed under Section 482 of the Code by the respondent, ought not to have directed the authority that no adverse or punitive action be taken against the petitioner and in fact this was wholly unnecessary for the disposal of the criminal case. Therefore, this portion of the order passed by the High Court requires to be deleted. Accordingly, we pass the following order :
The appeal is disposed of. The order passed by the High Court “that no adverse
or punitive action be taken against the petitioner in pursuance of FIR No.110/2004 till the instant petition is decided” is deleted.
Ordered accordingly. : 3 :
CRL.A.NO.2023 OF 2011 @ SLP(CRL.)NO.8984/2010 & CRL.A.NO.2022 OF 2011 @ SLP(CRL.)NO.8983/2010:
In view of the order passed above in Criminal Appeal
arising out of SLP(Crl.)No.8515/2010, these appeals are also disposed of.
