State of Maharashtra vs Devendra Dharamsing Tomar and other 3 Advocate - Shri.A.H.Gujrathi — 1400183/1998

The court discharged the accused charged under IPC Section 384 r/w 34 (extortion) due to the case languishing for over 25 years without progress. The accused remained absconding, key prosecution witnesses were untraceable, and the only available witness did not support the prosecution's case, leaving no evidence on record. The court found it unjust to keep the case pending indefinitely and accordingly cancelled the bail bonds and standing warrants.
