<h1>Pardon granted; accused made approver upon full truthful disclosure in case under IPC 120-B, 420, 409 and PC Act</h1> A special CBI court granted pardon to an accused, a relative of an absconding businessman, in the criminal case arising from the Punjab National Bank fraud, on condition of a full and true disclosure, and marked the accused as an approver. The accused, a long-term overseas resident and previously pardoned in related PMLA proceedings, faces charges under IPC sections 120-B, 420 and 409 and the Prevention of Corruption Act. The prosecution did not oppose the plea. The court directed steps to secure the accused's return to India to testify and noted the matter's link to ongoing extradition and foreign custody proceedings against other principal accused.
