Deepak S/O Shri Ashok v. State of Rajasthan
Case brief
What is this about?
The High Court of Rajasthan disposed of seven connected criminal revision petitions preferred by former officials of the Bharatpur Credit Cooperative Society Ltd against an order of cognizance passed by the District Judge, Dausa. The petitioners challenged the jurisdiction of the trial court, the competence of the complainant, and the prima facie connection of the petitioners to the alleged offences under the Banning of Unregulated Deposit Scheme Act, 2019. The court held that the revisional court cannot presume lack of jurisdiction or insist on detailed authorization at this stage and dismissed the petitions, finding the trial court satisfied on merits.
What did the court decide?
All connected criminal revision petitions were dismissed with no orders as to costs.
