Order
06/02/2023
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
The present Criminal Revision Petition has been filed against
the order dated 18.01.2023 passed by Sessions Judge, Prevention
of Corruption Act Cases, Bikaner whereby the application filed by
the petitioner for providing him transcript of the conversation
between the petitioner and the complainant as also officials of the
department has been rejected.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
is entitled to get the copy of transcript of the conversation
between the petitioner and complainant, therefore, the trial court
has wrongly rejected the application filed by the petitioner vide its
order dated 18.01.2023. He also submits that the CD provided by
the respondent department is not playable and therefore, the
conversation between the petitioner and complainant could not be
seen and heard by the petitioner. He, therefore, prays that the
[2023/RJJD/004055]
(2 of 2)
[CRLR-126/2023]
order dated 18.01.2023 passed by the learned trial court may be
set aside and the respondents may be directed to provide CD of
the conversation between the petitioner and the complainant.
Learned counsel for the State submits that there is no reason
that the respondent department will not provide a copy of the
transcript of conversation between the petitioner and the
complainant, if the same is available with the respondent
department.
In view of the submissions made at the bar, the revision
petition filed by the petitioner is allowed. The order dated
18.01.2023 passed by the Session Judge, Anti Corruption Act
Cases, Bikaner is quashed and set aside. The respondents are
directed to supply a working/ playable CD of the transcript of
conversation between the petitioner and the complainant in the
present case.
The stay petition also stands disposed of accordingly.
