RAMJEE KESARI vs STATE OF BIHAR — Crl.A. No. 373/2000

Summary: On 14 September 2006, the Supreme Court allowed the substitution of State of Bihar with State of Jharkhand as respondent. The Court permitted appellant Ramjee Kesari to withdraw the appeal, noting that a revision before the Commissioner of Commercial Taxes had restored the penalty previously set aside. The appellant was given liberty to challenge that order before an appropriate forum and, if successful, to approach the High Court under Section 482 CrPC for quashing prosecution. The appeal was disposed of accordingly. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
