Judge dismisses criminal revision petition, directs bailable warrants for petitioners, cites delay in complaint filing.
The judge dismissed the criminal revision petition as withdrawn and directed the Court to issue bailable warrants for petitioners No.3 to 5 instead of arrest warrants. This decision was influenced by the delay in filing a formal complaint by the Enforcement Directorate, which led to no arrests being made for four years. The petitioners were instructed to appear before the Court by a specified date, and the arrest warrants were not to be executed. The stay petition was also disposed of in light of these directives.
Issues: Conversion of arrest warrants to bailable warrants due to delay in filing formal complaint by Enforcement Directorate.
Analysis: The counsel for the petitioners did not press the revision petition on merits but requested the conversion of arrest warrants to bailable warrants. The complaint was registered in 2013, but the Enforcement Directorate kept it pending until 2017 when a formal complaint was filed. The petitioners were not arrested during this period, leading to the request for the change in warrant type.
The counsel clarified that the prayer for petitioner No.1 & 2 was not pressed as they had already been arrested. The sole request before the Court was to convert the arrest warrants into bailable warrants for the remaining petitioners.
The learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer for conversion of warrants.
Upon considering the contentions, the judge found it appropriate to direct the Court to summon petitioners No.3 to 5 by bailable warrants instead of arrest warrants. This decision was influenced by the fact that the matter had been pending for four years with no arrests made.
Consequently, the criminal revision was dismissed as withdrawn, with specific instructions for the Court to issue bailable warrants for petitioners No.3 to 5 in place of arrest warrants. The petitioners were directed to appear before the concerned Court by a specified date, and it was ordered that the arrest warrants should not be executed. Additionally, the stay petition was disposed of as well.
