JUDGEMENT
SUDIP AHLUWALIA, J. -
(1.) This Revisional application has been filed with a prayer for
quashing the impugned order No. 08 passed by the Ld. Judge,
Special (CBI) Court No. 1, Calcutta in Special (CBI) Case No.
04/2013 on 18. 02. 2014, and also the proceedings of the aforesaid case.
(2.) The petitioner at the relevant time was working as an LDC in the CBI establishment at Port Blair. In order to procure loan to
the tune of Rs. 2.65 Lakhs, he is alleged to have submitted a
forged and fictitious Certificate purportedly issued by his
Superior officer, along with a similarly fictitious Pay Certificate
showing inflated figures of his salary, to make him eligible to
obtain the said loan. The loan was granted by the Bank, but the
Certificate and Salary Slip were sent for verification to his
establishment, after which the alleged forgery was detected.
Consequently the case was drawn up against him by the CBI,
which subsequently submitted a Chargesheet U/S. 13(2) of the
Prevention of Corruption Act, as well as Sections 420, 468 and
471 of the IPC. The petitioner filed an application under Section 227 of the CrPC, which was substantially rejected by the Trial Court vide the impugned order. The Ld. Trial Court held that the
offence U/S. 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act is not
made out in the case, but the petitioner is liable to face trial for
the remaining offences under Sections 420, 468 and 471 of the
IPC. Being aggrieved by such decision, he has filed this
Revisional Application.
(3.) His contention is that no case against him can be made out since he has meticulously paid up the loan obtained by him from
the Bank, and so at no point of time he had caused any 'Wrongful
gain' to himself, or 'Wrongful loss' to either the Bank, or to his
Superior authorities. Some decisions have been cited on his
behalf to support his contention.;
