STATUS OF THE CRIMINAL CASE
FIRFILED : 27.10.1987
(FILED UNDER SECTION 120B 420, 467, 468, & 471 IPC & 5(2) r/w 5(1) (d) OF P.C.ACT, 1947).
SANCTION ORDER ISSUED : 04.06.1991
(AS WE ARE BANK OFFICERS)
CHARGE FILED IN COURT : 1992
(IN CBI SPECIAL COURT, MUMBAI)
DATE OF FRAMING OF CHARGES : 24.04.2008
FIRST WITNESS CALLED O N : 09.02.2011
THE SANCTIONING AUTHORITY
HIS DISPOSITION IN THE COURT IS AS FOLLOWS:
“I thoroughly went thro’ the report, i.e the sanction order & based on the contents I signed the same. I did not see the papers related to the case & I do not remember whether any other papers were put up to me.
During cross examination:
1. I did not dictate the contents of the sanction order.
2. I do not know who has prepared it.
3. I cannot confirm whether the order was signed by me on the date mentioned in the order as many papers come to me as I was the General Manager & it takes time to attend them. Normally it is kept & signed at a later date.
4. I have not verified whether the bills mentioned in the order are all pending for realization or some of them are realized.
TOTAL NO OF WITNESSES : 76
TOTAL NO OF DOCUMENTS : 60
BUT THE CBI IS NOT ABLE TO PRODUCE ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS IN ORIGINAL NOR TAKING EFFORTS TO GET THE OTHER WITNESSES
CAN SOME BODY SUGGEST 1) IS THERE ANY TIME LIMIT FOR COMPLETING THE CASE BY WAY OF PREVIOUS JUDGEMENTS? 2) IF SO THE COURSE OF ACTION TO BE TAKEN?
