Pankaj Poria vs State of West Bengal — 60/2024

Summary of Criminal Revision No. 60/2024 The Additional Sessions Judge set aside a Warrant of Arrest (PWA) issued against Pankaj Poria on 28.06.2023, finding procedural irregularities in the trial court record. Although the court acknowledged that the ACJM had authority under Section 87 CrPC to issue a warrant directly, it found that Poria had validly obtained bail on 20.12.2019 from the higher court, which should have been reflected in the lower court's records before issuing the PWA. The court directed Poria to appear before the ACJM within 30 days for fresh consideration of his case as per law.
