DROC vs Inder Goel and 2 others — 5118/2019

Summary The court rejected the accused's petition challenging the maintainability of the case under Section 628 of the Companies Act, 1956. Although the court acknowledged the merit in the accused's argument regarding Section 465 of the Companies Act, 2013 (which saved only prosecutions pending before the 2013 Act's commencement), it held that having already taken cognizance and issued process, it lacked inherent powers to recall the order—a remedy available only to higher courts under Section 482 CrPC. The case is adjourned to 13-10-2023 for the accused's appearance and examination. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
