The Nagpur District Central Cooperative Bank fraud case involving an amount of Rs 50 crore has been an infamously delayed case as it has experienced nothing but obstruction from the all the 11 accused.
The latter use the simple expedient of being absent from the court on the days of hearing by turns and thus are able to prevent the court from framing charges against them. The case has been pending for more than a decade.
All the accused including the Congress MLA from Saoner, Sunil Kedar have been mocking the judicial process with impunity. The court has issued warrants against them several times but to no avail.
Sources say the case would continue to drag on without any result as the court is neither splitting up the case nor cancelling bails of the accused. The case is stalemated and there is no progress, they add.
However, some lawyers are of the view that the case could be brought to its logical conclusion soon if the court so desired. The accused should immediately be arrested and charges framed against them, they remarked.
