Petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. against order dated 08.08.2022 of the Special Judge (P.C Act) in Spl.C.C.No.314/2017 passed on an application under Section 19 of the Prevention of Corruption Act; dismissed as not surviving for consideration since trial had reached the arguments stage; liberty to raise defences sought and submission recorded; IA.1 of 2022 for stay disposed of.
What did the court decide?
As the Trial Court has proceeded with trial in Spl.C.No.314 of 2017 and the matter is now set down for arguments, the criminal petition does not survive for consideration.
