By this writ application, the writ petitioner has prayed for quashing of FIR registered on June 14, 1999 and the consequential investigation in CBI/ SPE/ ACB/Calcutta Case No. RC 18/99 under sections 120B/420/468/471/ 477A of the Indian Penal Code and section 13(2) read with section 13(l)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.
(2.) The facts giving rise to the filing of the instant writ application may be summarised thus :
(3.) By this writ application, the writ petitioner has prayed for quashing of the aforesaid FIR mainly on the ground that before lodging such complaint on 24th May, 1999, which was registered on 14th June, 1999, the Railway Authority earlier lodged two other complaints before the CBI, one in the month of October, 1998 and other in the month of March, 1999 but the CBI after investigation having found no merit in those complaints, did not proceed any further. According to the petitioner the sole object of the respondents is to get rid of 26 awards given against the Railway Authorities. It is pointed out that a learned Single Judge of this Court has rejected all the applications filed under section 34 of the Act and against those decisions, 26 appeals are pending before the Division Bench of this Court.
