ABLAPL No.8215 of 2015
04.01.2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Standing Co
unsel for the Vigilance Department.
The petitioner is apprehending arrest for the alleged commission of offence un
der Sections 409, 468, 477-A, 420 and 120-B of the IPC read with Sections 13(2) & 13(1)(c)(d)
of the P.C. Act in V.G.R. Case No.15 of 2012 of the court of learned Special Judge (Vigilance)
, Cuttack, arising out of Cuttack Vigilance P.S. Case No.15 of 2012.
It is submitted by the learned counsel that the petitioner is co-operating wit
h the Investigating Officer and he has produced all relevant documents before him. However, af
ter completion of the investigation, charge-sheet has been submitted. Because of interim order
passed by this Court, the accused was not arrested.
So, it is apparent from the record that custodial interrogation is no more req
uired since investigation has been completed and charge-sheet has been submitted. Moreover, th
e offence alleged against the petitioner may well be proved through documentary evidence. So,
need of arresting the petitioner and sending him jail do not solve the useful purpose. The pet
itioner is a permanent resident of Mitrasenapur, P.S.Bari Ramachandrapur, Dist.Cuttack. So, th
ere is no chance of his absconding from justice. Initially, his name was not in the FIR. But l
ater on he has been charge-sheeted.
