NIRANJAN RASIKLAL SHAH vs JAGMOHAN DALMIYA . — Crl.A. No. 544/2010

Summary of Crl.A. No. 000544/2010 Note: The document provided relates to criminal appeals arising from SLP(Crl) No.8408/2008 and related matters, with Sharad Pawar as appellant and Jagmohan Dalmiya as respondent, concerning BCCI expulsion proceedings. On March 17, 2010, the Supreme Court allowed the criminal appeals and set aside the High Court of Calcutta's November 12, 2008 order that had directed an inquiry against defendants under Section 340 CrPC. The Court found the High Court judge failed to conduct a mandatory preliminary inquiry and denied defendants a hearing before issuing the direction. The matter was remitted to the High Court judge to reconsider the Section 340 application afresh in accordance with law, affording defendants reasonable opportunity to be heard, with all contentions left open. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
