CRL. M.C. 620/2019
Learned counsel for petitioner submits that allegations leveled in the FIR are that petitioner is a tenderer who had exercised due diligence.
If it is so, then petitioner bring this to the notice of the
Investigating Officer of this case who shall also take into consideration that the entire transaction was purportedly on ‘as it is basis’. In case any coercive steps are to be taken against Director/employees of petitioner’s company, then a week’s notice be given to them before proceeding further.
In view of the above, learned counsel for petitioner does not press this petition for quashing of the FIR at this stage and rightly so.
This petition and the applications are accordingly disposed of as not pressed at this premature stage. Needless to say that merits of this case have not been commented upon.
