IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH JAIPUR
S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No.301/2006
State of Rajasthan
Versus
Vintaz Distalers Ltd.
DATE OF ORDER : 01/12/2014 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.N. BHANDARI
Mr. Sudesh Saini, Public Prosecutor, for State None present for non-petitioner
By this criminal misc. petition, a challenge is made to the order dated 17.11.2005. By the aforesaid order, the learned court below gave custody of the liquor to the non-petitioner during pendency of trial. The order aforesaid has been challenged by the State Government but I find that no stay was granted. A period of merely 9 years has already passed thereupon. It is not only that trial must have been completed but even liquor was not allowed to be sold, thus no purpose remains with the non-petitioner even to get the custody of the liquor. In any case, looking to the intervening period during pendency of the petition, no purpose remains in causing intervention in the
impugned order.
The criminal misc. petition is accordingly dismissed.
