Case History
CASE SUMMARY: Crl.A. No. 847-849/1997 The Supreme Court quashed criminal proceedings against S.K. Pattnaik (Central Excise Inspector) and his co-accused, who were alleged to have unlawfully detained gold ornament manufacturers and coerced them to alter G.S.13 register entries, violating Sections 384 and 465 IPC. The Court found the complaint lacked sufficient grounds to attract these offence ingredients, noted a 14-year delay since the 1989 complaint filing, and determined the officers appeared to be discharging official duties. The quashing order did not prejudice separate prosecution of Laxmi Priya Nayak regarding the seized primary gold.
