Peter Martins., v. Advocate Aires Rodrigues and 2 Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
In three criminal writ petitions filed by accused petitioners challenging the confirmation of cognizance and issuance of process, the Goa High Court partly allowed them. The Court confirmed the order taking cognizance but set aside the process issued under the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC for lack of sanction, remanding the matter to the Magistrate.
What did the court decide?
The order issuing process for offences under the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC is set aside; the Private Criminal Case is remanded to the Magistrate at Mapusa.
