Jain ..Applicant versus The Central Bureau of Investigation (ACB), Mumbai & Ors. ..Respondents Mr. Subhash Jha i/b. Law Global for Applicant. Mr. S. R. Shinde with M. M. Goswami for CBI. Mr. P. S. Hingorani - APP for Respondents - State. Mr. R. G. Singh i/b. R. J. Singh & Co. for Respondent No. 3. CORAM : B. R. GAVAI, J. DATED : APRIL 13, 2010. P.C. : 1. The application is taken up for final hearing. It is not in dispute that the allegations against the present applicant are almost identical with the allegations against the applicant Mr. Thakurji Ramanlal Chaturvedi , whose criminal application no. 2070 of 2009 has been allowed by this Court vide Order dated 18th March, 2010. 2. The application is strongly opposed by the learned standing counsel on the basis of the judgment of the Apex Court in the case of Central 2 Bureau of Investigation vs. A. Ravishankar Prasad [(2009)6 SCC 351] . This Court vide the aforesaid judgment and order dated 18th March 2010 had dealt with the averments of the prosecution and found that the proceedings as against the main accused Dinesh Chaturvedi were already quashed by this Court and the SLP against the said order was also dismissed. It was also found that the another accused Narayan Chaturvedi against whom more serious allegations were made was also discharged and the SLP challenging the said order was also dismissed. It is not in dispute that the allegations against the present applicant are much less serious as compared to the allegations against the accused Dinesh Chaturvedi and Narayan Chaturvedi. In that view of the matter, application deserves to be allowed. 3. Rule is therefore made absolute in terms of prayer clause (a). (B. R. GAVAI, J.)
