Mritunjay Kumar Singh v. The State Of Bihar and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
The Court observed in an oral order that a Miscellaneous Appeal under Section 17 of the Special Courts Act, 2009, arising from confiscation proceedings, is not a civil dispute. The matter involves a criminal offence and the appeal must be converted into a criminal appeal. The order appears to be incomplete, ending abruptly.
