Order
16/02/2022
By way of filing the instant miscellaneous petition, challenge
has been made to the order dated 07.09.2021 passed by learned
Special Judge, SC/ST (POA) Act Cases, Sikar, Rajasthan in special
Criminal regular case No. 271/2021 titled as State of Rajasthan v.
Buddh Prakash whereby the prayer made by the petitioner for
permitting him to go abroad has been declined.
It is revealing from the record that for the allegations of
committing offence under Sections 323, 341 & 504 IPC and
Section 3 of the SC/ST (POA) Act, prosecution has been launched
against the petitioner in which yet the charges have not been
framed. The petitioner is having a valid and effective passport.
Before the institution of this case also, he used to visit Sharjah for
the purpose of his business related matters. Now, because of the
pendency of the criminal case, he is not allowed to go abroad to
see his business affairs. The accused assures that after taking
(2 of 2)
[CRLMP-5743/2021]
care of his business affairs, he will return back to the Country
within three months from the date of his departure.
Looking to the overall facts and circumstances of the case
more particularly the fact that prior to the institution of the
criminal case, the petitioner was having business affairs at
Sharjah, this Court is inclined to accede to the prayer made by the
accused-petitioner.
Accordingly, the instant miscellaneous petition is allowed.
The order dated 07.09.2021 passed by the learned Trial Court is
quashed and set aside and it is directed that the criminal trial
pending in the Court SC/ST (POA) Act Cases, Sikar, Rajasthan
shall not be an impediment in his visit to abroad provided the
parents of the petitioner shall furnish surety to the satisfaction of
the learned Trial Court for the petitioner that he will come back to
the Country within six months from the date of his departure.
Accordingly, the instant miscellaneous petition is disposed of.
